The Premier in an ln-
splrlng opening address read a tele- gram he had sent to the Prime Millin- ter, Sir Robert Borden, offering on be- half of thc Island 100,000 bushels of oats delivered free in ally port dcslir- natcd by the War Office with addi- tional aid to follow. lie also road I-‘rcmicr Bordon's reply stating lllut “my colleagues and myself warmly appreciate the splcndld and patri- otic oi`l`cr of the Government to place at the disposal of tho Dom- inion Government 100,000 bushels
of oats.". Premier Matllicsen next
read the following telegram received from ills Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught.
“With reference to your telc-
gram of August 25, His Majosty's Government accept with much gra- titude the generous offer of the people of Prince Edward Island. A further program will be sent regarding arrangements for ship-
ping. Yesterday, said the Pre-
mier thc Lieut. Governor received a telegram from thc acting Under Sec- retary of State as follows:
“The Colonial Secretary cables that oats should be delivered at Havre Franco, and the Army Council re- gard It as essential that It should hc ln bags of not more than 100
lbs or not less than 80 lbs." The Premier having dealt with the
necessity for immediate action, called upon tllosc present for an expression ol' opinion. Sir Wilfrid Sullivan, Rev. Dr.Gnutlller, Captain Joseph Read, Judge Stewart., Governor Rog- crs, Col. Moore, Mr. A. B.Warburton, Mr. H. D. McEwen, Mr. A. A.McLoan, M. P. and others delivered stirring addresses, breathing of patriotism and loyalty, after which a large general committee representative of the three counties was appointed to further the object in view. It was stated that everywhere the farmers hall expressed their eagerness to contribute grain and provisions according to their means, and that other members of the com- unitics would subscribe liberally to- wards the cost of $20,000 or thereby necessary for the transportation and other expenses in connection wltll the island contribution.
THE PREMIER'S ADDRESS
The Premier, i-lon. J. A. Mathieson.
said that tile meeting, which he was very glad to observe was such a re- presentative one, was ,assembled for the purpose of dcvislng the best plans by which they might do their part to- wards supporting tllo Empire ill the great war in which lt is now engaged. “We have as much at stal' .1 ln this war as ally other part of the Empire" he said; "for although it is hard for us wilo arc so far away from thc scene of opcrallono to realize it, our whole country, and we as n part of it, are en- gaged in a life and death struggle for all those things that as a nation we hold most llcar. All ollr institutions and thc liberties that we have gained -and as wo thought secure-by ll cell- tury ci thought and toil and blood- shed are now ill thc insecurity that always attends n fierce struggle such as is now taking place ull along tho line in one part of the flcld 250 miles long. Upon the results there und else- where haugs the fate of the British empire. We llavo really no four as to what the final outcome will be; but wc should feel that wo are rising to tho full measure of our duty in this terrible stress that is upon us and are doing it. (Checrs.)Somo sixty years ago when Britain was engaged in a war of far less consequences, this ls- land, then a simple colony and poor in comparison with what it is today, recognised its duty and participated lr. Q. general contribution all over the Province towards the support of the Brliish arms in the Crimea. The to- tal contribution from thc i"rovInc\\ amounted to some three thousand pounds (sterllns); but the feature about it which was of most value was that a considerable part of the money was raised by general contribu- tion from the people. it seems to me that In meeting here together tonight our business is to devise a plan by which every one of our people shall be given the opportunity of doing their duty, of doing llomnullng to snow um they feel their share and burden oi the rssgonsibiilty of maintaining the Great mpire of which we form -a part and which guards so well the 'liberties that have come down to as
mom forefathers-. (Cheers) While it '. sr that is upon us will can forth _-the very best of our energies and 0109 urn ns the realisation of what itis to ll o British lubfect, wa should iiieet it. not in the spirit of pessimism

tinge of fear. There are offsets to the terrible drawbacks of such a war. It is in war that the spirit of pat- riotism, the bonds of unity rise up' and consolidate a people whose alle- giance to the Crown, or whoso rela tions with one another, may be grow- lllg slack. We have seen how in Ire- land, where a local situation threat- ened to develop into danger, the strong bond of brotherhood alld patriotism, when once it asscrtcd itself, brought into alnity, nlen who were really to fly at each other’s throats. lt is al splendid thing; and no greater speech was made since the war began than that by John Redmond when llc nu- uounced in a fcw words that cvcry garrison nligllt be wlihdr'a‘.wn from Irc- land and that the King could rcly upon it that Ireland could he depended upon, and that the Catholics of the South and thc Protestants of the North would stand sllollltler to shoulder ill the great war. (Choel°s.) In every part of lllc Elllpirc: ullvalltugcs are to be seen. When his war is ovol' wc will final a conllllolizapirit ci' unity cvolvcd from tho :atl'ii'e'alld strain of llle battle- field. We look forward to that as one of the zllleviations for thc tol'l'iblo loss and the horrors of \var. What in thc present circilnisizlllccs should wo do? l would like to call your attention to some of thc things wc have llrul under consilicratioll. Each of thc nillcl' pro- vinces in one [orm or another has made a proposition to :lid the Empire in its present struggle; and on the 25 th, August. hy the direction of the Government. l sent to Sir I'tobcl‘t L. Borden, thc Primo Minister, tho follow- ing telegram: “'l‘llc<pcnpie of Prince Edward Island will l:ontrIlluI.c towards the war fund 100,000 bushcis oi’ oats, delivcrcri free in ally port dc-sigllaiofl by thc Wm Office, additional uid to follow.” (Cllccrs.)
The Prclnier lllfll srairrd that he
llzul reccivcll from Sir Robert L. llor- dcll,-lll rcply to his lllcssage, a cubic stating that Sir Robert and his collea- i-.llcs wzlrnlly appreciated ihc splendid :mrl patriotic offer oi the Govcrlunonl. of Prince Edward island to place at the disposal of the imperial Government tho qllaniliy pi oats mentioned. The Premier had nlso asked, in ll lr.~itcl‘ to tho proper nutlloritics, for instruc- tions no to the best nlannci' in which tho proposal col\hi~bc carried through ln reply to his If-(tor :.c had recclvod a llcspatcll stating that the Gllvcrllol' General had been cabled to from the (lolonial Secretary an follows: “`\Vitll reference to your telegram of 25th, August, ills Malrsty’s Government. uc l-opt with much gratitude thc generous offcl' of the people of Prince Edwaro Island." (t‘llcers,) Ycstcl'<1n.y,continu- cd the Prcnllcr, tho Lieutenant Gov- ernor received a despatch from thc acting Ululcr-Sceretzlry of State to thc effcct illat thc Colonial Secretary had instructed tllat oats should be deliver-
cil rcgartlcrl It ns essential that it should bc lu bags of either 160 lbs or 80, preferably 80.
“Tile business that will come bc-
fore the meeting", proceeded Mr. Mathieson, "will be the formation of
vlslng a plan by which every pcrson ill'l.hls province will he given an op- portunity of doing their duty in this war. Tllc appointment of the com- mittee might be made through lt coin- mlttee on nomination.

"They ure fighting our battles as as their o\vn," Said Sir Wilfrid, the liberties we enjoy as British jccls. (Clleera) If, unfortunately, opponents of our Empire should cccd, what is going to llnppon to our Empire-to us? We will be rulcd by a military oligarclly \vllicll will des- troy the liberties of the people. We have great liberties now; if the Ger- lnnlls succeed our liberties will llc tics- troyed and wc will be reduced to a state of slavery. Lord Roberts the othcr day, addressing a meeting in England, said tll:.l. if the British Elu- pire should be defcllted in the con- test-but he did not believe anything like that would happen-the result would be disgrace, discredit and slav- ery. 'I`llat is true, gentlcnloll. Anil what is ollr duty? Those of us who cannot go to the front can render as- sistance ill somc other way. l think every man ill the Province should contribute something.

The Premier su-ggestcll ,llulr the

appointment. lt was also suggested that the number in cncll of the com- mittees representing the different counties to bc appointed by thc gen- eral committee might be twenty. Dr. Gauthier objected to the number, .which he said might be fewer. lnl view of the fact that thc committees thus appointed would be in turn ap- pointing subcommittees. Hin Lord- ship, Sir Wilfred Sullivan, held that as a greater means of spreading an enthusiastic and patriotic feeling throughout the country, tho larger the number the better. Governor Rogers moved that the number should be twoi- ve; but lifter some discussion it was left to the discretion of the general committee to fix the number. The committee than withdrew to considera- tion ui' its business, and in the inter- vnl several stirring, patriotic speeches were delivered.
Sir Wilfred Sullivan was first ro-
quested to address me meeting, The British Empire, our Empire, he said, was engaged in one of the most gigan- tic wars the world has ever seen. lip wards of twenty millions of soldiers

Should a pontlff be elected, work-
men will immediately break in the doors, and the cardinals will repair to. the balcony of St. Peter's and proclaim him. Shortly afterwards the pope himself, if custom is followed, will ap- pear in the gallery of St. Peter‘s. and bestow thc papal blessing. A major- ity of the cardinals, before they en- tered ihe conclave hall, sought to learn the latest news from' the war zones. Several of them have ciohe relatives In the armies.
