whole matter. vince in the course of twenty-five on account of the failure of the Goveroment to fulfil the terms of respect tu winter communication, are to be met iv full by the supply of anotber win- ver steamship. For the service of this steamship the people of this Province wil! be charged special rates, and if she sbould prove to be successful in developing trade, as the Stanley has uone,she will “ pay her way” in so far as this Province is concerned. She ix wanted, and has been for many years required, in terms of the union ceptract; and vet she is set off against the losses that the province has sustained because she was not supplied long ago.

Concerning the financial claim amount~ jng to upwards of twomillioo dollars, Sir Wiltrid gays that this will be settled by the construction of the Murray Harbor and Belfast Railway. The late Government offered,in addition tc this,a branch rail- way to Elmira, a branch railway to New London, a branch railway to West Cape, aod severalother branches. Bat Sir Wilfrid, with an eye to Quebec, draws the line at Belfast and Murray Harbor,~—while he takes good care that the Province shal pay $12,000 a year for all time to come for the use of the bridge over the Hiils- borough.

Mrs. Whi lan’s pension is referred to the Department of Justice. The fact thatit has been made a claim upon Canada is pitiful. The Honorable Edward Whelan’s services were given io Prince Edward Ieland, not to Canada; and the legislature and people of Prince Edward Island, with

yeare, Dominion union in

ove voice, as a token of their appreciation of the boons of Responsible Government and Free Education which Mr. Whelan did so much to obtain, voted his widow a small annuity. To ask a rebate of the pittance from Canada is a meanness of which only a Liberal Government could be guilty. It is insulting to the generosity of the people of this Province. We ein- cerely hope that the Department of Jus” tice will repudiate the claim ; or, if it be granted, that the money will be applied to the erection of a monument to Mr.Whelan’s memory.

A DETAILED STATEMENT

PE, Island’s Claims and |

the Premier’s Reply.

NO HOPE FOR ARBITRATION-- NOTHING FOR LOSSES IN THE PAST.

Wot One Cent For The Treasury of P. E. Island.

[SrectaL CORRESPONDENCE | Orrawa, June 7.-—-Sir Wilfrid Laurier brought down last night a batch of papers relating to Prince Ejiward Island, contain- ing the !ast memorial from the Govern- ment of that Province, and Sir Wilfrid replied thereto. Many of the papers are the same as were brought down last year but Incladed io the

forth that in

there are some additions. matter is @ minute setting view of the decision of the Privy Council of May, 1898, Prince Edward [sland is en titled in its own right to receive from the Dominion that portion of the award of the Hel fax Commission to which it woald have been entitled bad the amount of com- pensation applying to P. E. Island been separately awarded. The Provincial min-~ ute asks that the whole question between the Dominion and the Province be left to arbitration, one arbitrator to be appointed by the Province, one by the Queen and one by the Dominion. The old claims need only te be stated in general languag-.

No 1 grows out of the failure to estab- lish continuous steam commusication.

No. 2 is the financia! claim which was set forth very fully by Mr. Martin in a re cent speech in the H. use. It grows out of the fact that when the Province entered the union the debt of the Dominion was assumed to be $45 per bead, and onths basix the wllowaoce of $50 per head was made to Prince Edward Island. Buttle real debt of the Dominion was much great- er than it was then supposed to be when the costof completing the public werke then under construction is considered. The Provincial Government says that the allowance should have been $75 per bead in order to make i equitable and a claim of $2,174,705 is made out on ths basis, The late Dominion Gove nm2ut recogniz - ed this claim to the extent of increasing the subsidy tothe exteot of $20,000 a year.

Another claim grows out of the fishery award. The Provincial Government says that two years before the arbitr ation at Hulifax the fisheries of Prince Edward Island were matle free to the Americana fishermen. The islaed was at that time not a part of the Dominion, and is therefore said to be entiiled to compensation on its own account.

The other claims are in respect tocer-

| tain pensions to Mrs. Whelan, and the

|

Judges’ salaries which the Proviocial Gov- ernment considers too low. The Island

| judges have their ealaries eked out by cers

tain fees, and the Government thinks that the Dominion should recoup the Province these amouuta,

Tuen there are claims growing out of the public wharves which have Leen many times stated.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s reply to these claims bears date of March 28th, 1899, at which timethe Provincial Ministers were here. He takes up the claims one by one after stating his intense desire to do jus- tice and explaining that Sir Louis Davies is agreat friend of Prince Edward Island.

Sir Wilfrid conceives that the winter communication’s claima will be made as near right as possible when the new steam- ship is on the route.

As to the big financial claims of over $2,C 0,000 he igs notso explicit. But he is of the opinion that if certain railways were built in Prince Edward Island these demands would be to some extent met, At

Ne | gotiations have been going on with the } Provincia! Government to recure the as~ sistance of the province tothe Hillsborough Bridge. This ia the only urdertaking tbat Sir Wilfrid makes in regard to that part of the claim.

As to the claim for two years damages from United States fishing previous to 1873 Sir Wilfrid says thai these two years were

notincluded in the Balifshx Award and

that as tue Dominin Government got nothing for it it has norightto pay anys thing. A* tothe 7 ision of the proceeds

Sir Wilfrid will not promise to take over any more pliers aud pay for them. He will leavethe Whelan pension question to the Department of Justice to seitle. Be ill also submit to the Department of Justice the question of judges salaries in Prince Eiward Island, and if anything is in. cumbent on the Dominion to do that vwili bedone. This is the substance of Sir Wilfrid’s statement.

FSTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Halifax Herald: The despatch which says that the Drevfusards refuve to accept Du Paty de Clam as a seapegoat avd de- mand the exemplary punishment of General Mercier and others, certainly presents those who have stood by Dreyfus ina perfectly reasonable light. If it bad not been for General Mercier and othersof lise standing, Esterhazy, Da Paty de Clam and such try would never have been able tosecure the condemnation and banishment of Dreyfus to Devil’s Island. Geperal Mercier indeed may be eaid to be the very man who actually secured the condemnation. If justice is to be done Mercier and several other generals will feel it.

Alaskan Boundary.

Monrareat, June 8.—The Star’s London correspendent cables : Mr. Choate, United States ambassador, had another conference with Lord Salisbury at the foreiga office last evening, with the result of a practical agreement upon a provieional Alaskan boundary. The joint commission mean- while will continue negotia‘ions. The point discused between the ambassador and the premier was the Dalton trail, which has been the only obstacle in the way ofasettiement upon a modus viveadi daring the lasttwo years. The question of the Dalton trail bas been continuously negotiated between the foreign cffice and the American embassy for the past week. The agreemeat reached last evening only requires ratification

—The slow, shifting, uncertain methods of the laurier-Tarte Administration are admitted and regretted, even bv its strong est frieuds and partisans. For example, The Guardian inveighs against the ap- pointment of a County Judge for Queen’s Couoty, points out that all the business in the Court has been practically euspended ever since Judge Alley’s death, and remarks that “Not only are intending suitors delayed in their legal affairs by the vacancy being belng kept op-n, but methods are being adopted i in the scrainble for the place that might better bave been avoided.” All this is true,—quite true. The fact is that Sir Lon’s’ frends make but a_ poor busi« hé-S Cow Oination in so far as the interests of the ccuntry are concerned.
