WINTER COMMUNICATION.

Tur people of Prince Edward Island will be glad to leara, by the clipping which we make from Haosard,in another column, that the indefatigable member for Hast Queen’s (Mr. Martin) is keeping the pure minds of the Government and their ma- jority in the House of Commons stirred up to the question of winter communi- cation between this Province and the Mainland. This is a question about which questions may well be asked in view of the Government’sjobligations, with regard to its great importance to Prince Edward Island, and the facie of the case. We are therefore the more ,eurprised to ‘note the carping spirit ia which Mr. Martin’s ques- were received by Sir Louis

WHAT THF SENATE WILL DO

In the course of an able erticle concern- ing the probable action of tlhe Sevate anent the Yukon Tramway bill the M-otreal Star says:

“We believe that those who expect the Sevate to contemptuously tarew out the Yukon Bi! from partozan motives, and those who expect it to swaliow the bill through cowarcice or irom interested motives, will be equally disappointed The Upper House is not inferior to the Lower House in average invtelligence, aad is superior in experience. Admitting tse possibility of, but rot «sssetecg th existence of, a few excepiions in 118 mem- bership, the honor ef the Upper House is

unimpeachable, Nor are we afraid that it will te found lacking in cvurage.

“Tne Senators are called upon to deal witha matter of the greatest raticnal importance. The passing of the Yukon Reilway Bill in its ;:e ent shape means more than the rat lication Of ap extrava- gant and bad bargain; it meana the adop-~ tion for all time of a policy which will

hinder the legitimate development of the

Canadian gold mdustry, which will pre- ventthe Dominion treasury from ever getting its fair tribute from this great

m'reral wealth, and, by no means Jeast w il «trike a death-biow at Cana lian trade supremacy in the Canadian Yuken ” the belief that the Senate will deal with tis matter in & Statesmentiike way, and with ence to the interests of Canada, altogether from party. ——~ te New pianos opeving out at ‘ Fletcher's Pano Warerooms— Opera House Baild- wg.

WINTER COMMUNICATION, ]

Prinee Edward Island and Majiniand:

(From Hansard.) Mr. Martina asked,— 1. Does the Government propose to take

cation between the province: f Prinee Ed- ward Island and the mainisud of Cana- da?

2. If so, what are those improvements, and if the Government intend, without further delay, to place a second steamer on the Georgetown-Pictou winter route ?

3. Has any contract been given, or does the Goverament intend to ark for tenders, for the building of a suitable winter boat, aud when?

4. Has the Government, after their ex- perience with the steamship “Petre!,” 1 the winter of 1896-97, abandoned the scheme of placing a eteamer on Cape Traverse and Cape Tormentine ice route?

5. If so, have the observa’ o's made ly the oflicers of the steamehip *Petre!,” res ferred to in page 21 of Jast year’s report of the Hovorable the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, been of such a definite charact- er a3 to lead them to that coneluc’on ?

6. Has the Government considered the present oppressive rate of 3. per pound tor baggage(in exceas of thirty pounds) over the Cape Traverse winter route?

7. If so, do they propore to decrease tha! ¢x rbitant rate in the pub! c interest?

8. Is the Government aware that passen-~ gers are required to pay a minimum of $2 | over that short distaace of nine miles, be- sides being compelled to perform the ard- uous labour of pulling the Government boats containing Her Majesty’s mals over ice and lolly?

9. Does the Government propose to remedy this greivanee ?

10. Has the Government had under consideration the terms of union between Prince Edward Island aud Canada, that provide that the province of Prince Kd- ward Jeland shall be connected with the Intercolonial Railway, and tbe railway system of the Dominion, and that the rate for passengere between the province and the mainland of Canada shonld not ex- ceed the rate per mile on the Intereolonial or the railway system of Canada?

11. If so, does the Government intend to take steps to reduce the rate of passengers on the steamer “Stanley” to the exme milage rate as prevails on the lotercolonial Railway ?

The Minister of Marine and Fisheries (Sir Louis Davies).—I desire to call your attention, Mr. Speaker, and the attention of the hon. gentleman (Mr. Martin) to the fact that the form of this quection very flagrant. lytranegresses the rules of the House. It is argumentative and states facts, instead of asking for information.

Mr. Feater.—Do you not like faets?

The Minister of Marine aud Fisheries. — When one is asked to answer a question bie does not jike to have certain things set out as outrageous and all that sort of thing.

Mr. Martin I did not say “outrageous” ; I said oppressive; Outrageous is the Hon. Gentlemans own vagorite word.

The Minister of Marive and Fisheries. 1 sha!) anewer the hon. gentleman’s question as best [ can.

Mr. Speaker. Before the Minister ,an- ewers the question, I wish to say that it occurred to me that the words “oppressive and exorbitant rates,” characterizing certain mattera about which information is sought, are not quite in order. Hen. gentlemen wil! remember that in asking a question, hey cannot use any argumen ive language, nor can they even attack the Government in putting such a question, no matter how etrougly they may teel on the subject.

‘Lane Minister of Marine and Fisheries. I do vot object to answer the question, but I merely wish to call attention to the ir- regularity of it. Winter communication between Prince Edward Island and the mainland ja ai present maintained by the ice- beat service at the Capes and the SS “Stanley” between Georgetown nd Pictou The Government pre now considering re- presentations made to them by the mem- ber for East Prince and by tae Charlotte- town Board of Trade and a deputation from Summerside as to the necessity for a second wioter boat. The particular route which a second stenmer should be placed on in case the Government decides to obtain *ucu steamer bas uot been de termined, but no decision adverse to the Cape Traverse and (‘spe Tormentine route has been reached. No representati +s have teeu made to the present Government that

the existing baggage rates over Care Traverse winter routes are excessive, The Government ie aware Of the minimum rate paid by passengers over the route, It is the same rate which bas existed for years past. The Governmentis not aware that the terms of union between Priuce Edward Island and Canada prov des for the rate to be charged for pa-sengers. The rate was reduced jast winter by the present Mio~ isier of Marive and Fisheries tothe amount charged by the summer boats between Charlottetown and Pictou.

— A London despatch to The New York Sun ssya: General Ferreror, the lialian da long interview with Sir Thomas Sandereou, permanent Secretary of the fore'gn office, with the object of ascertaining the views of the British gov- eroment on arbitration of the trouble between Spain and the United Srates, laly suggests that the question as to how the Maine was destrored should be sub- mitted to an international commission to be composed of naval experts appointed each by England, France, Germany, Russia, Austria and Italy, the eeventh commissiouer to be a naval commandant of high rank, to be nominated by Holland, Denmark or Belgium. According to the San’s informant, Sir Thomas Sanderacu received the idea with anything but en- thusiasm.

—Malpeque has been waked up. Bat his moral sense seeme tc be still dull and his wits wool gatbering. It is quite true that the Prince of Wales College bill passed last year may be repealed.

P. E. Island can repeal the College Build- |

ing bill and scoop the students fees. But would it be righttodo so? That is the question which moral and _ responsible people will ask themselves. In view of the fact that it has been proved that the fees will pay for the building, we do not think there is any necessity or excuse for

breaking faith§ with those who paid the feeaon the understanding that a new

College would be built. The information that we desired two years ago has been obtained and the fact that in so far as a new college building is concerned no ad- ditioual burden wili be imposed upou oar taxpayers has Cousequen ly Malpeque’s gen'le in:imation that we have abandoned the “truth” in this regard is not warranced.

He said to an Assoc ated Press reporter: “ I am on my way to Wa-hington to pay a visit to the British ambassador. There is no political significance to Le attacbed to my visit.
