PROM HALIFAX T0 THE ROGKIRS,

Sin CeAntes Turrer, in rising to re- spond, was met with the most enthusiastic applause and rousing cheers, loud and !ony continued. He said that no feeble words could express the feeling inspired in him by the intellect, wealth and industry of Ottawa and surrounding country; any labor he had ever undergone was more than repaid by the kind, affectionate honor dove to him to-night, Compelled as public men are to make powerfu' enemies, it required not only regard bet affection to compensate themr The acdress just read had referred to his loyalty to the leader of the great Con- servative party (applause), but how could any intelligent member of the Liberal-Con servative party fail to be leyal to sucha leader! Did not every intelligent man know that Canada owes all the great steps of pro- gress to tha intellect and energy of the great chief of the party? (Applause). He touched on the close friendship which had existed between Sir John and himself, not only in prosperity but in adversity, and said that althongh he had been with Sir John ever since the brilliant victory in September, 1878, he had never felt greater satisfaction than during the dark days of 1873. (Applause). He referred with deep feeling to .he expression ‘‘faithfal Cumber- land” in the address, and said that on the 22nd of the month he would celebrate the 20.h anniversary of his election in Camber land, and he had since then been elected eleven different times, and he felt that it was @ proud boast that one of the most intellectual and largest con- Stituences in the Dominion had elected him as their representative for twenty nine consecutive years. (Applause.) Cumberland was the county of his birth, where he was best known, where his cha- racter wae most closely scrutinized, and he felt that it was no small henour that the people who there knew him best had most trust and confidence in him. (Applause.) In this connection he read a telegram from Hon. ©. J. Townsend, a member of the

He deeply ty gretted his inability to accept the invitation extended to him b the e: ; ; exporters of Montreal, but thought ae cattle exporters had not as much to be thankful for as the farmers who were really the most benefited on account of the keen competition keeping up prices, A leading. organ in Canada had accused him of want “ft dignity in taking the action he did last fall with regard to the cattle about to be slaughtered at Liverpool, but if the hich commissioner had lost dignity on that occasion he thought the farmers would for- give him. (Appiause.) There was no ser- vice which he could render his country from the performan¢e of which he would be deterred by the fear of a little loss of cig- {nity, and he hoped the time would never come when he would be ashamed to take off his coat and turn up his sleeves in the interest of the farmers of this country. (Applause.) He referred to the great difference in the credit of Canada to- day and what it had been at confederation, pointed to the successful completion and working of the Intercolonia!, and said that without aspiring to the gift of prophesy he would yet venture to predict that before the first of May next a passenger would be able to take a Pullman car at Halifax and go through Canadian territory without change of cars into the heart of the Rocky Moun- tains. Turning to personal matters he said that after twenty-nine years of political life, it was only with the severest pain that he could break those ties with which he has so long and so pleasantly been bound, and it was only on the most positive assurance of his physicians that his healih would no longer permit him to take so active a part as he has been taking, that he has decided to retire, at allevents fora while. Duriog the severe session of 1880-81, and the stil more arduous campaign during the Christ- mas recess of that year, his heal:h had completely given away, and he had been forced to seek rest and repose in England. There he had consulted Dr. Andrew Clark, who had peremptorily commanded hin to abst+in from the hard work he had been undergoing. He had told Sir John this; but the general election was coming on, ind his chief said he wanted his services That was sufficient. He had staid and the party had been again victorious Then he wanted to rétire, but Sir John had wished him to go through one more session, and in the meanwhile he had

Carro, May 12.

The Governor of Dongola telegraphs that the situation is becoming alarming. The inhabitants are in a state of panic. Only four-companies of Egyptian Regulars and 200 Bazouks remain in the city. The re:t of the garrison are scattered through the Province, Advices from Koroskor state that the wires beyond that point are cut and that no more fugitives will be able to cross the desert.

Trouble in the West, Winnipeg, May 12.

‘Advices from the end of the Canadian Pacific line west say that trouble is fearel there by a large body of Iralian laborers. They were promised in the east higher wages than they have been allowed. ‘They are armed and have struck work.

An Attack on the House of Lords.

Lonpon, May 12. In the Commons to-day, George Ander- son, advanced Liberal, gave notice that he would shortly make @ motion to condemn the existence of the Honse of Lirds. The announcement was received with great hilarity.

Muoicipal Council of Cumberland, to say that the council, a majority of whom were his political opponents, had to-day passed a resolution congratulsting him on his ap: pointment as high commissioner, and of regret that he would have to resicn his present position. (Applause). The County of Cumberland was very dear to him, fer, twenty-nine years ago, he had there seen a girl with a bloom of Cumberland on her cheeks and the bloom was srill in his heart.

-plaac+.) He paid a high tribate to the gteat help and assistance Lady Tupper had been to him in his political career, and said that she had heartily co-operated with him in all his work. (Great applause, the audience rising en masse and drinking the health of Lady Tupper with great en- thusiasm.) He referred to the position of affairs inthe different provinces prior to confederation, and pointed out that at that time it seemed to bea question whether they should drift into the great republ c to the south of us, buthe was then of the opinion, and would always be cf the opinion, that it was better for us tou: ite and maintain British connectien. .(Ap-

simply nonsense, for no ove knew better than he did how invaluable Su John was to the party, and how impossible it would be to have anyone else to fill his place. Referring briefly to the action of last session, he said he had never been treated with more kindness by the opposition, and in a brilliant pereration dwel: on the plea- sure with which he would look back upon his parliamentary associations, and the grief with which he was forced to say the word ‘‘farewell.” (Great and continued applause). cineca il

Atlantic Cable Competition. The telecraph competition is to be ex- tended also to the cable companies, by the Bennett-Mackay Company, whose cables are pow being lad. The advantages this new competitor will possess are thas set forth :—The cables at present in use, with their cost, are: Anglo- American, four cables, cost $35,000,000 ; Direct United States, ove cable, cust $7,- 009.000 ; Pouyer-Quertier, one cable, cost

been introduced by Sir John Macdonald and kad made his first speech from a wagon in front of the Russell House (applaus+), and held that never had greater progress been shown in avy country than had been shown in Canada during the last seventeen years, It was impossible to ferm any con- federation, in the working of which there would not be some little friction, but after seveuteen years uf experience it could be safely said that no union had ever caused less friction than had our confederativn. (Applause.) There had been some talk abuut a revision of the constitution, but he regarded it as mere idle talk, for no coun- try had ever grown so wonderfully as Canada had done since Oonfederation (applause), and the constitution presented fewer defects than had ever occurred in any

therefore, represent acust of 364,400,000, or $8,050,000 each. For this ex;endtture they have four old cables, laid, im 1869, 1872, 1873 and 1874, and four newer oues, laid in 1880 and 1881 respec-ively, In order to pay five per cent. on the capital invested, the Western Union Compan- ies require $3,320,0U0 net earnings per annum, The juoimt companies have to provide a renewal fund for very old cab'es, whereas the mew company will re quire very little for years to come. The juint companies have to support four poards of directors, four office staffs, and other machinery awoanting to over $1,000,- 000 per annum. The volume of cable business on a tariff of 1s per word has been estimaced at 30,000,000 words per annum Allowing to the jo'nt compantes 20,000,000 words their revenue would be $9,000,-

from one hundred and thirty-one mil- lions in 1867 to two hundred and thirty- one millions in 1883. What was the con- dition of the people? Why, the returns of the savings bank showed that the savings had incrcased from one million and a half io 1867 wo twenty-eight millions to-day. (Cheers ) In immigratior the increase had been wonderful. In 1867 only 14,666 set- tlers had arrived in Canada; last year the immigration, including customs entries, was 153,624. So rapidly was Canada taking « foremost position im the eyes of the world that, notwithstanding the long and steady flow of immi.ration towards the United States, while that fow had decreased last year, it had greatly decreased towards Oanada, and the largest numler of emi- grants that had ever left England in a single day had left a month ago f: r Canada, and in that number there were more Ger- mans and Scandinavians than had entered Cavada the whole of last year, (Applause. ) Referring to the cattle trade, he said noth ing was more satisfactory than the pro- gress that had heen made since 1876, when only about 7,000 head were shipped, to las: year, when over 55.000 bead were shipped of a value of over eight nullions. He dwelt on the gread advantsgo which it was to Oanada that her cattle were not schedul-d in Envland, and estimated that the privi- lege of shipping live cattle to different parts was worth abot £2 per head, (Mr, Acer —More.) Sir Charles said : Ay | always lke to be under the mark, a8 my hon, friend (Sir Jubn) knows.” (Lang! ter and applaure) Even at two pounds per head, the saving wonld be about half a million doi- lars, Referring to the alarm which had

been felt in the cattle trade in Canada at recent British Legis!ation, he s#id that the

would be only $2,250,000, or 34 per cent. on the capital, A new company, with two cables, doing the remaiving~ 10,000,000 words business at a shilling tarff could earn $2,500,000. Allowing working expenses at $280,000 andarenewal fund of ihe same amount, theestimate, (which has been mace by the Londou Pall Mall Gazette), would cave @ net profit of nearly 2,000,000, or over 26 per cent. on the capiia. ———SEE
