LEFTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Denial.

Sir,—Your report of my remarks at the Cape Traverse picnic in your issue of the 24th August, although in many respects inaccurate, I «lid not feel myself called upon. to correct. You appear, however, yestei day to have gi yen (the control of your editorial columns over co the Island correspondent of the Halifax Herald. The editorial paragraph in that issue referring to my speech abounds with the grossest misrepresentations. The only object you can have that [can conceive of is to mis- lead the press in the other provinces, and by atthibuting to me statements which I never uttered, and which well informed men know to be absurd, to endeavor to dis- credit all my statements. My char- ges against the Government were two in number, and were as specific as language could make them. They were only repetitions of charges I had made in my place in the Commons in the presence of the Ministers, and which were never answered. The first one was that the Government had violated the first principles of responsible Government, and made the ‘‘ control of the purse strings’ by the Commons a perfect farce by appro- priating and spending $2,000,000 of the public moneys, under the authority of Governor General's warrants and without any vote of Parliament. I held in my hand the statement of this expenditure submitted to Parliament by the Anditor General, and | charged that while many of the items could be justitied, a very large part of this money had been illegally appropriated and spent in direct defiance of the Statute, and with the object of purchasing political support and debauching the electorate. I referred to one item of $3300, the facts of which were within my own knowledge, and also to the expenditure in St. John and Halifax, the facts regarding which had been given in Parliament by Mr. Weldon and Mr. Jones. There was no charge of ‘deliberate theft” or ‘‘ stealing” made by me in connection with this expenditure. The charge I did make was serious enough, viz: That under color of the Governor General’s warrant, the Government had illegally and in direct defiance of the Statute, taken enormous amounts. of public money from the Treasury and had used them to promote the election of their friends. That charge I made in Parliament, I repeated it at Cape Traverse, and I have not yet seen any attempt to show that it is not correct.

With regard to the latest Onderdonk scan- dal, you again grossly exaggerate and travesty my remarks. You say: ‘* Mr. Davies said that John Heury Pope, Minister of Railways, had taken the arbitrators inthe Onderdonk claim for payment for rolling stock in a room, locked the door, seized them by the throat, forced them to withdraw the first award, and to substitute another giving \ir. Onderdonk an additional million of dollars, which mil-

trators to add to their award was That is, one hundred thousand addvd for this transportation cost more than Onderdonk claimed in his written statement signed by himself and heid by the Department.

The following extract from my remarks in Parliament when the subject came up for discussion in the presence of the Ministers, shews that the charges I made at Cape Trav- erse were merely repetitions of those I had made in the House in the presence of the Ministers,

“i submit to this House that there was evi- dence in the hands of the chief engineer, at the time he induced the arbitrators to signa second appraisement which showed him that the ap- praisement was out of all proportions and away beyond the value of the goods. Let us see exacily what they wanted the arbitrators to do. The Minister of Reiiways writes by his secretary te Mr. Reed and Mr. Ciark, tclling them that he wishes them to add the cost of tran-portation to the $72,000 they have already awarded. There is nothing else to be added. Heis quite satisfied if the cost of transportativn can beadded ‘o ihe $72,000.

When we go to the column showing the amount paid by him tor transportation, we find tiat that foots up $27,075 and as if to putthe matter beyond doubt, Mr. Onderdonk addsa note that values are derived fiom cost invoices, freight and duty bills, allof “hich are on file in their origmal. form, signed *A, Onderdonk. so that if tue Minister of Railways wished only to do what he thought was simple justice, if heouly wished to adu to the award meade by the arbitraters, the cost of trans- portation, all he had to do was to take Mr. Onderdenk’s statement, signed by his own hand, in all $27,000 which Mr. Onderdonk claimed for a” [perpen Oe ee ee: eee gentlemen came to Ottawa, what was the result ! They had awarded $72,665 and they were asked to add the cost of transportation.

Now i submit, in the face of ali the evidence, not the evidence which we produced, not the evidence which were extracted from the mouths

of witnesses examined betore the Public Ac- counts Committee, the evidence which the hon- orable gentleman had under his own hané at the very time he accepted this valuation, the evi- dence which the honorabie gentieman appears to have withheld from the arbitrators, notwith- standing the fact that he had that evidence he accepted the award, and in a day or two afier- wards he recommended tothe Council, of which he was a member, that these gentiemen should be paid the fuil sum, bar $3.0¢0, which Mr. r deducted for an engine which he said was only fit for scrap iron and paid them 5100000 more thau the evidence before him showed that they were entitled to.

lion had been used to promote the election of Conservative candidates. This million with the other two millions made three millions, which Mr. Davies said had been ‘stolen’ from the Treasury for the purpose of debauch- ing the electors and bribing them to vote in the interests of the Government.”

Permit me tosay, Sir, that a more grossly inaccurate and untruthtul paragraph I never read. I neversaid a word about John Henry Pope ‘locking the door,” I never used the words ‘‘a million” in reference to the Onder- donk scandal at all. The whole amount of the award was but $200,000. I never used the words ‘‘three millions” in my gemarks from beginning td end. I neyer charged that three millions had been ‘‘stolen” to de- bauch and bribe the electors. All these state- ments of the writer of the paragraph in ques- tion are pure creations of his own imagina- tion. Not one of them appeared in any re- port of my speech published in any Island paper. Take your own summary report in your issue of the 24th, and you wont find anything to justify such absurd statements as you attribute to me yesterday.

I simply repeated at Cape Traverse the charge | made against the Government and the Minister of Railways in Parliament with respect to the Onderdonk scandal. The facts, as proved, were sufficiently damaging, and needed no coloring at.any one’s hands.

In Onderdonk’s contract there was a clause ‘‘ permitting” the Government to take over the rolling stock used by him in the construc-

1

tion of his section of the railway ata valua- tion. Asthe Government had, after letting the contract, handed over the C. P. R. to a

“Syndicate,” they did not, of course, want Onderdonk’s rolling stock.

The Minister of Railways asked the opinion of the Minister of Justice as to the liability of the (sovernment to take over this stock, and the Minister of Justice gave his opinion that it was purely optional wlth the Government to take the stock or leave it.

The Minister of Railways nevertheless de- termined to purchase the stock, and arbitra- tors were appointed to value it.

Application was made to the C. P. R. to purchase, but they declined taking it at any price.

The Arbitrators awarded $72,000. Onderdonk declined to abide by the award contending that in adition to the value award- ed of $72,000, he should also be allowed th cost of transporting that stock to place of con- struction of the railway in British Columbia. At the Minister’s request, he furnished to him a detailed statement showing the cost of the plant, andin a separate column the cost of transportation. ‘The latter item amounted to $27,075.00. The Minister after a time deter- mined to allow this in addition to the award, and wrote to the arbitrators asking them to withdraw the award they had made, and add the cost of transportation to the value of the plant and stock. The arbitrators refused, saying they had already awarded every dolla they conscientiously could. One of the arbitrators, writing to the other, said he be- lieved they were ‘* going to be used as tools.”

The Minister persisted, and eventually suc- ceeded in inducing the arbitrators to go to Ottawa.

One of these arbitrators (the examined before the Committee on Public Accounts. He stated that two of them had signed a second award at the request of the | Minister, but that they did not hold them selves in any way responsible for the addi- tional sum. That they merely added on te their award of $72,000 what they were in structed to add by the Department of Rail ways for transportation.

The arbitrators had not tefore them Onder- donk’s statement submitted to the _ Minister, shewing $27,075 as the cost of transportatio The Department of Railways had that.

Diphtheria.

Dr. Turner, of London, England, has made a study of diphtheria and has embodied the results of his enquiries in a report of the Local Government Board of Lodnon He says: ** Almost nothing is with certainty known of the beginning of diphtheria, though much has been learned respecting conditions favoring its spread and something, perhaps, of influen- ces fostering its virulence.” Among the in- fluences ‘‘ tending to enhance the severity of diphtheria,” he mentions ‘‘over-crowding, badly trapped drains, damp walls and floors.” The sataration of the soil under the dwelling with fecal matter, or with water contaminat- ed by excrement, he has found to be a_ condi- tion especially favorable to the development of the disease in its most fatal form. It is, however, with cases for which neither personal communication not any of the above conditions can be assigned as the probable cause” that he deals in this report, as well as ‘‘with broad clinical aad pathological resemblances between the mala- dies of lower animals and diphtheria in the human subject.’ Pigeons, chicken, swine, horses, cats and sheep suffer from a disease resembling diphtheria in all its symptoms. Children and others who have come in con tact with them have been taken ill with diph- theria, and animals have been observed to be suffering from the disease some time after being hendled by persons suffering from or recover- ing from — diphtheria. Dr, Turner's ob- servations lead to the conclusion that many of the mysterious diphtheria which occur in places where the sanitary conditions are good, and where there are no human beings from whom the disease could be caught, have their origin in contact with animals ill of the disease. Several remarkable mentioned by Dr. Turner of persons having to all appearance caught diphtheria from lower animals, and of animals catching the disease from human beings. The enquiry isan im- portant as well asan interesting one, and likely to lead to beneficial results.
