Shertage in the Land Ofiice.

answers of nearly five thousand

fae Patriot the charge that here is a shortage dollars ia the accounts of the Land Office by declaring that were shortages under the former administration. That is it employs the ‘‘you're another argument.” It is needless to say that this srgument will not satisfy the people whose money is unaccounted for, Moreover, its employment is an open admission that the charge in the particular case under discus- von is trae, The accounts of the Land Ottice for former years were ¢arefully re- viewed by Messrs. Carvel! ani Arnaud, snd the results were stated in a report which Mr. Peters withheld from the Legis- lature and the public, though it was, pre- 1008 to his assumption of office, printed for insertion in the Journals. This fact may be taken as conclusive proof that there was nothing io it to damage materially the reputation of Mr. Ferguson or the late Admitiistration. Consequently, the Patriot's allegations as to shortages in former years may be dismissed as baseless and empty. In point of fact, nothing was discovered by Messrs. Carvel! and Arnaud to implicate in wrong doing any official of the Land Office except the late Assistant Commissioner, Mr. Strong. lt is true that the system of keping the accounts was denounced, and that « new and better apstem was recommended. [ut Mr. Peters and his sesoci.tea deliberately rejected the recommenda‘ioa of the Cow

missioners, and went on im the same old way. They made handsome allowances and gave big discounts to a favored few—- and came out at the end of the year with a shortage amounting to nearly five thousand dollars.

The Patriot contents itself now with cry- ing ““‘ you're another,” and asseverating that Mr. McMillan isan honest man. Of course Mr. McMillan is not te be hounded as Mr. Ferguson was hounded. We should be sorry to employ against any man the inhuman devices which were employed to ruin Mr. Ferguson's character, in order that he might be forced to give place to Mr. McMillan and Mr. Peters. But Mr, Ferguson has been vindicated. He vindi- cated himself. All the people know now that there was not « tittle of fact in the ‘aslicious and damnatory slandera respect- ing him which were circulated wholesale while the personal embezzlements of the late Assistant Commissioner of Crown lands were under consideration. Is it, then, too much to ask that Mr. McMillan shall give to the public a clear and reason- able explanation of the shortage of nearly ite thousand dollars for which he stands responsible to the public’ If this shortage be 4 mere matter of accounts it ought to be easy to make the accounts clear. If it be contained in the twenty-five accounts a statement of which were withheld from the Legislature, surely this statement ought to be forthcoming. We must get at the bot- tom of this matter.

A Sham.

Taat Mr. Davies’ resolution ia favor of a reduction of duty imposed on British goods is & mere sham was made evident by the organ of the Grit party—the Tor- onto Globe—which says :;

“The papers soon to be submitted to Con- gress by the State Department wil! probab! establish what Mr. Foster stated.in his bal get speech and what the Tribune itself sug- gests, namely, that they are willing to mego- tiate on the basis of a preferential tariff, that is to say, when we are ready to admit Ameri can raanpufactures into our market in return for the admission of our manufactures and

natural products into the American market, whilst maintaining duties against the manuface

tures of Britain.

So the Globe is sci] for Unrestricted Re- ciproeity and heavy discrimination against Great Britain,—~and the Globe speaks for Sir Richard Cartwright and the Opposition party. The party cannot bo for reducing the duties cn British goods, because ‘it is for free teade with the States and the im- position of high duties upon British goods.

to aay,

—The Empire remarks that there is point in the suggestion of the Montreal Star that the universities should have an honorary degree quite distinct from the degrees con- ferred as the result of competitive examin- ations, As it is now, the holder of an LL.D. may have won it as an academic dis- tinction or may wear it simply on account of public services rendered by him. On both grounds the degree may be « worthy: and deserved distinction, but it would be better if the weiversity authorities had it in their power.to discriminate.

—Free traders in Great Britain are amazed atthé work of foreign tariffs like those of France and the States. In April British exports were £17,866,000, com- pared with £20,919,000 in April, 1891. During the first four months of 1892 the exports were £76,000,000, compared with £82,000,000 in the same period last year. The decline is in all classes of goods. One of the staunchest free trade journals, The Glasgow Herald, mournfully says: *‘ It is an admitted fact that ** our shipments have been declining for some months past, while values have in most instances shrunk in 4 greater proportion than quantities, and this question of price is au important factor in the diminished total value of our ex- ports.”

About one hundred lambs were shipped last week from the Guelph Experimental Farw to the Liverpool market. Half of the number were purchased in Prince Ed- ward Island. If this venture can be made to pay other shipments may follow.

THE

OTTAWA LETTER

An Interesting Budget of News.

—-—

(Special correspondence of The Examiner.)

I amaimost indespairabout this week’sletter. l am trying to write you something with my overcoat and cap on and three kerosene lamps burning to raise the temperature of the room, if possible. And this at noon, of the 23rd May, 1892. Weare baving the most wretched weather—colki and wet—and being un- prepared for it, we suffer more than if it was midwinter. In some of the Jovernment offices, on Saturday,§ibe gas jets were kept in full blaze all day to heat up, and | suppose the same thing is being dove to-day.

Last. Monday, Mr. Charlton moved his resolution in favor of a plebiscite ot the

rohibition question, and after a couple of ours’ debate, at the request of hiy leader, Mr. Laurier, he withdrew it.

In the evening Mr. MeMullen introduced hie resolution that the North-west Mounted Police »tould be annually reduced in numbers. Phis was no hing more than a piece of clap trap. asthe (ieverament had early ino the session, stated their policy to be the reduc tion of the force as the circumstances per- mitted. Mr. Perry made a lengtiily epeech, in which he thanaged to introduce the tunnel and the Island railway, but be seemed to forget the Miminigash Breakwater. After several hour’ debate, Mr. McMullen withdrew his motion shortly before midnight. ty

Tuesday afternoon was spent in committee ok the Criminal Law. In the evening eupply was taken up, and the grits proceeded to get in sume fine pieces of obstruction. Upon the vote of 251,000 to complete the Kingston Graving Dock, they re-bashed all last year’s debate about Rancroft and the Connoily’s, and the fictitious tenderer, till they were tiied. Then on emall items to complete post offices at Dartmouth and Lunenburg, N_S., they made a most desperate fi ht and & most inconsistent one. Had these votes been new ones for the construction of uew buildings, the contention of the Oppesition that the places were not of sufficient im portance to erect expensive buildings in, would have been sound. But whea they knew that these buildings had been under contract for two or three years and were almost if not quite finished, and that the votes were merely for small sums to square up the contractors, the course of the OUpposi- tion was indefensible. Their intention was plainly obatruction, and it was three o'clock Wednesday mooning before an adjournment was reached, with four petty items passed.

The whole of Wednesday afterncon and part of the evening session was spent in committee on the criminal law. Then the House went inte supply, and on the one item of $6,000 for the construction of a postoffice at Laprairie, P. Q., <alked till midnight, and then adjourned without passing it. The virtuous grits found des- perate fault with the (roverament for building a postefice at a small place like Laprairie, and they alleged that the reason was aolely because its representative, Mr. Pelletier, was a Cuonservative. To show how false this insinuation was, | may say that the contract for Laprarie postoffice was let in 1889, and was the first vote taken in the session of that year, when its representative, Mr. Doyon, was a grit. Then the grits were dumb as oysters. It was all right that Laprairie should have a postofiice, aud they passed the vote and authorized the cenatruction uf the building without a murmur. But when, at the gen- eral election, Mr. Doyon was defeated and a Conservative returned, the matter wore an entirely uew aspect, and according to Cartwright, became ‘ta most monstrous and disgraceful job.” There may be a question as to whether public buildings were actu- ally needed at Laprairie and some other small towns where the Government, yield- ing to the pressure from their supporters, have entered upon their construction, but there can be no question as to the proper course to pursue in the case of contracts which have been let and one-half or two- thirds of the contract price expended. These buildings muat be completed. Mr. Perry spoke during the debate and told the story of the nineteen tailors of Tooley Street. Mr. Perry is nothing if not mar- vellous.

Again on Thursday, ail the afternoon and part of the evening were spent on the Criminal Law, after which the House went into supply, the first item being that held over from the previous eveaing—$6,000 for LaPrarie Post Office. Mr. Flint, M. P., for Yarmouth, N, S., but who ischiefly known up here as the husband of Mra, Flint, the singer, opened the ball. Then for the next two hours the French-Canadian meimbers had the ball to themselves, and after a couple of Englishmen had a chance, the vote passed, But the same game was repeated on the next Vote, which was paas-

fter some hours debate, and on through

the long night, until daylight came and ast the breakfast hour, until 10 o'clock Friday morning this Committee sat, doing no business but scolding, singing, hooting, scraping their desks, speaking in English and then repeating in French, and vice versa, I did not see it. 1 was in my bed at a respectable hour and knew nothing of what was going on ; but from what I have heard of it, it was a disreputable scene, and calculated to bring Gur public institutions into contempt. Yet there is no remedy for it. Parliament is supreme and its members have liberty of speech. But the country should understand who are re- sponsible for this outrageous abuse of con- stitutional liberty. If we except this man, Flint, there was not a Maritime Province member on either side that took part in Thursday night's scenes. The whole dis- acetal proceeding was carried on by a éw grit back-numbers from Ontario and Quebec, suchas Lister, Mulock, Devlin, Landerkin, Casey, and Brodene, counten- anced by Sir Richard Cartwright and from time to time urged on by him. Sir John Thompson and Mr, Laurier went home early. Messrs. Foster, Ouimet, Bowell and Dewdney sat through the whole of it, and Foster, once through the night, did let the opposition have it in the neck. .He should do so oftener, and it would keep them in their place. Speaking to Cart- wright Mr. Foster said : ‘* My hon. friend is yery fond of bringing up thereptile fund. Some of these days we will get enough of that reptile fuud in this House, and if no one one else does it, 1 propose to take the matter in hand myself. I say to him, and J would say te his leader, if he were there, that the number of his follow- ers to-day is made up of men who are in their seats and voting on that side, because they were bought into their places with stolen money. The great Reform party,

that paragon of virtue, that stands up here

Oartwright was dumb—uot a word did he utter in response. About 4 o clock in the morning the Hansard reporte »s ceased taking notea, and from that our tll adjournment no report was macs of the speeches. Better that it should |e so.

After breakfast, Sir John Thor pson ar- rived, looking ‘“‘spick and span,’ with 4 rose in his button-hole, and was son after followed by Mr, Laurier. ‘Then confer- ence of leaders took plice. Mr. C wquctte, who was vociferating in French, v as called off—the item was passed—a deze 1 others passed as quickly as the chairmsn could reid’ them off and the House ac journed, having sat for nineteen hours

On Friday, the House spent the day in supply, and adjourned at 10 p.m. Mr. W. F. McLean, the successor of Hon, Alexander Mackenzie, was introdi ced and took his seat amid loud Conser\ative ap- pause.

The D .ainion trade returns cortinue to be most satisfactory. The expor s fir the 10 months ended Apnil 30, amounted to $89,435,793, an increase of $11,983.479, as compared with the first ten months of Jast year. Imports also show an increase, al- though the duty collected is amaller. The duties collected during the 10 mcnths am- ounted to $16 059,722, a decrease of #2,- 641,146, as c moared with the previous year, but considerably less than the loss of duty by placing sugar on the free list.

Last week « return was laid before Par- liament in comphance with the provisions of an act passed a year or two ago of ** dividends remaining unpaid and amounts or balances in respect to which no traus- actions have takeu place or upon which no interest has been paid for five years or up- wards, previous to 3lst December, 1891.10 chartered banks of the Dominion of Canada.” [he total amount of unpaid dividends was $10,447.52, and of unclaimed balances, $446,870.02—quite a comfortable item for our banks to be withholding from the pro- per owners for years. In some years it is 50 years since the date of the last traus- acrion. To show you the doubtful hon- esty of such dealings, I will quote from the retura of the Bank of Nova Scotia. This Bank acknowledges $16.74 lying to the credit of J. F. Montgomery, of Charlutte- town, at the Charlottetown agency, since 9th September, 1885. Ina foot note the explanation is given : ‘Dead; legal repre- sentatives not known.” How much truth is there in this statement? I hive 1,000 miles from Charlottetown, and yet 1 know that Lt.-Col. J. D. irving is the legal re- presentative of my old friend ‘*Monty,” and I knew it from the Royal Gazette of Charlotteown when Col. Irving published it. Chief Justice Sullivan waa Mc. Mont- guuery’s solicitor, and Mr. Sullivan's office was next door to the Bank agency, and for the Bank to say that they did not know Mr. Montg: mery’s legal representatives is asking a little tuo much of us.

The Abraham Sutton Arrives.

Tuk iron steamer Abraham Sutton, pur- chased in Glasgow by Captain Ronald Mce- Millan, of this city, as stated some time ago in Tue Examiner, arrived here this forenoon in charge of Captain McMillan, and is now lying at the owners wharf, Since her arrival she has been visited by a goodly number of persons, all of whom are well pleased with the craft. The Sutton left Grennock on the 12th inst., and arriv- ed to-day, as stated, The passage out was a rough and stormy one, head winds being eucountered throughout nearly the entire run. Nevertheless she behaved well, more than meeting the expectations cf Captain MeMillan.

The Abraham Sutton was built at Dun- dee in 1883. She is 335 tons gross register and 162 tons net. Her length is 161 feat, and she is 22 feet. beam with 10 feet 8 inches depth of hold. She has a freight capacity of 350 tons dead weight, and is classed 100 Al at Lioyd’s. She is fitted with compound surface engines of 60 nominal horse power, and her average speed is 10 knots an hour. She has a snug saloon aft and comfortable cabin accomodation for the officers.

The steamer is owned jointly by Captain Ronald MecMiilan, and his brother Hugh Mc- Millan, Esq., of New Haven. She is intended for the coal and coasting trade. She will be commanded by Captain Lawrence Ki-kham, one of our most successful ship- masters, and who is well and fovteatiy known,

Tue Examiner wishes the . enter owners of the Abraham Sutton every success with their purchase,

_ You need not have the least doubt about it. The boots, shoes and slippers sold at the Dominion Boot & Shoe Store are pro-

nounced the best fitting and most durable in the city, Gothereif you want satis-

The Big Gun Competition AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS af “THE RINK BE A RE OPPOGR i LAST EVENING, | I +

Trere was a large attendance at the rink last evening to witness the militia and fire- mena sports in aid of the firemen's tourna:

ment fund, and everyone was apparently -

well pleased with the manner in which those taking part acquitted themselves. The * shift,” at which the Island boys have been so pre-eminently successful «t Quebec in competition with teams froin the crack batteries of the Dem‘nion, was, of course, the great centre of attraction. Galbraith’s Band was present during the evening, playing even better thap usual. Shortly before eight o'clock, the milicia detachments and firemen met at the central fire station and headed by the Band marched slong Queen Street to Gratton, duwn Grafton to Prince, up Prince to Fuzeoy and along Fitzroy to the Rink, Ae soon aa possible after their arrival the

; sports began,

The first event on the programme was a half-mile foot race. There were five start. ere, viz, Adolphe Gaudet, Lewis Whear, Albert Long, John Wonnacott, jr., and William Edmonds. Wonnacott wok the lead at the start, but he was scon overtaken and passed Ly Whear, and both were in turn passed by Gaudet, who came iu first at the finish, with Whear second and Long third. ‘Time 2 min. JO sec.

Then came the shifting ordnance com- petition, The detachment from No. 1 Battety was the first to take position at the gun, Lieutenant E. D. Sterns was ia command, and the other members were Sergt Matheson, Sergt Connolly, Corp Mue- ley, Corp J McLeod, Bdr Prowd, Bdr L McDonald, Guors. J Ghia, A Johnson, Geo Gillespie, Wiliam ‘G.lspie, H Heyper, F Kiggias, B Girnhum, D MeDonaid, Geo ntlebury, E MeLew, F Pierce, and George McLean. On getting the word **go” frou: C.l Moore, Lieut Sterns gave his commands, and in quicker time than it takes ua to write it the gun was dismount- ed over the breast of the carriage, faliing ou short skids placed there to receive her.’ Parbuckle ropes were iised and man- ned, and it was but the work of a minute to run the gun on long skids rounl a stake 40 feet distant, and back agsin, to be par- buckled up on the side of the carriage. Here the rope was caught, which caused a litle celay. After it was adjusted, the top of the carriage was soon reached aud the gun was dropped on the short skids—right side up. In a second she was dropped into position, and time was called —3 min, and 20sec;

After a brief interval of waiting the de- tachment from No, 2 Battery took p sition. This team, which, was in command of Lieut- enant Dover, was made up as follows: Lieut F W L Moore, Sergt W Quigley, Gunner D McLaren, Corporal T Gorman, Ganner T Howatt, Gunner N MeNerin, Gunner J Hennessey, Gunner F Handra- han, Sergt R H Rameay, Bombadier J J Macdonald, Ganner F B Kennedy, Gunner S A Macdonald, Gunner G M Munro, Gyover A Milley Ganner P W Carver, Ginner P.Welst and Gunner F D Web-

ster, After ‘the necessary precautions from the commanding officer they set to work in tine form,

They found some difficulty in throwing the ca:r.age over, as the. trucks tad sunk into the soft ground. Once over, however, splendid time was made until the gun was re-mounted on top of the carriage, when she had to be slewed to bring the vent up, and, on being lowered, settled back on the carriage, leaving the trunnions in rear of the trennion-holea, which rendered it most difficult to get into position. The boys got there all the same, however, and when tme was called it was found that they were only eigh’een seconds behind the other tesm.

Both detachments did excellent work, and reflect much credit upon Lieutenants Sterns and Dover Bit both couldn't win!

Lieutenant-Colonel Irving acted as referee, and the umpires were Lieuten«nt-Colonel Moore and Lieutenant Stewart. The timers were Captain D. L. Hooper aod Lieutenant Ewen McDougall, R. L

Then came « tug of war betwean teams drawn from the fire beigade and the Crescent Footbali Club The te-m of firemen was made up of William Taylor, J. McQuillan, J. Simpson, J. Hennssey, (3. Gauden, P. Creehan, P. McMahon, A. Long, Wiitiam

MeKachern, J. MeKachern (anchor man) The Crescents’ team was us followe: ~ William Edmonds, Adolph eudet, Jos.

Heonessey, 1, McDonald, Frark Handrahan, R. Heber Ramsay, Dan. Finlayson, J. J. Mec- donald, J. McPhereou, Richard F. Mi.chell (apchor man). Both teams were pretty even- ly matched, although the firemen had a slight advantage in weight. The contest was a hot ope. Every inch of the six feet over which they had to pull was stubbornly contested. Now the firemen would have a slight advantage and 4 second or go later the Ures- cents would have it. The admirers of each team were liberal in their encouragement and every advantega obtained by either side was generously applauded, The firemen finally won.

Ihe second tug of war was between a team from No. | Battery, Gamison Artillery, and a team cf firemen. The Artillery team was made up of Sergt. Connolly, Corpl. Ward, Bombadier real and Gunners Gillis, KR. McLean, G. McLean, Geo. Gillispie, W. Gillispie, McAree and H, Hooper. The fire men’s team was com of Charles Hermans, B. F. Dawson, William McKachern, Wm. Taylor, J Simpson, D. Finlaysou, K Fi-lay- son, Jos. Hennessy, F. Creehan, J. McKachern (anchor man) The firemen won after « ehort contest.

The proceedings clozed with the National Anthem and rousing cheers fur the tess and the fire laddies.
