The welcome could he held at Ottawa. The Government’s purchase. for
, fifteen thousand dollars of a Chinese 'lf art collection, which Lord Willingdou. left hehind is also being assailed. Tlie dismissed civil servants declare
the State dinner to Lord Bossborough. to be attended only by tlie eloet, is an outrageous extravagance.
