Island Field Days.

ee eee ee

| OUR MAITLS. | ee

Orrawa, March 2.

In the Commons yesterday and to-day were Prince Edward Island field days. Mr. Davies attacked the Government, claiming that the postal facilities of the Island were worse than twenty years ago, and that forty-nine out of fifty mails failed to con- nect.

In reply Hon. Mr. McLellan reviewed the railway facilities provided for. the Island during the last twenty years, and showed that P. E. Island mails failed to connect only nine times, while in the same time Maritime Province mails failed to connect at Montreal sixteen times, yet no special service had been demanded, whiie the cost of the postal service of Nova Scotia has increased 45 per cent., in New Bruns- wick 52 per cent., in Prince Edward Island it had increased 96 per cent.

Mr. Welsh (Grit) agreed with the Post- master-General that the present Govern- ment had greatly improved the postal facilities of the Island, and expressed gratification that special train’ had® been arranged for in the spring, when the com- merce of the Island demanded it.

Mr. Davies, in closing the debate, said that as special trains were to be granted, tha Postmaster General seemed to have been overruled by his colleagues, and yielded very reluctantly. He denied Mr. McLelan’s statement that P. E. Island paid less revenue per head of population than the other Provinces, and charged Mr. Me- Lelan with seeking to libel the Island, and mislead the House.

The Senate to-day adjourned for one week.

their interests.. It is claimed that amongst the securities are $10,000 of the defunct Maritime Bank, and $10,000 of notes and Carolina bonds, which are practically worth- less. Mr. Lindsay has offered to hand over his property and $40,000 pending a settle- ment.

The Grand Jury to-day found a true hill against Judge Armstrong, chairman of ‘the Labor Commission lately in session here, for criminal libel, he having made a statement at the sitting of the Commission that the Hudon Cotton Company was a hotbed of immorality and debauchery.
