THE DOMINION BAMK NOTE JOB.

Special Favors to an Alien Contractor.

Harbor Works at Summerside.

Orrawa May 21.—The first business yesterday was the voting of $26,000 to- wards the expenses of the Jubilee expedi- tion. A resolution to that effect got two readings in committee, and a bill founded thereon was read a first and second time.

When Hon. Mr. Fielding anoved the House into committee of supply, Hon. Mr. Foster brought up the question of the Bank note contract. Mis address occu- pied the whole afternoon. In summing up the case, Mr. Foster showed that the Finance Minister, contrary to the advice of his own deputy, had shown epecial favors to the New York contractor, and done a serious injustice to the Canadian industry, increased the cost of the work, and cast suspicion upon the methods and integrity of bis own department.

The Finance Minister, after dinner, made his explanation. The main part of his argument was the claim that the work to be done in New York wasa very small part of the total, and was not an important portion of the contract. He admitted that the British American Company had offered to do the work for the same figures as the New York tender, but declared that bef-re it had been received the business with the Yankees had gone too far to recede. He claimed that the deviation from the tender

by the American Company was not important,

Sir Charles Tupper followed and maintained that Hon. Mr. Fielding

had accepted a tender that was no tender at all according to specifications, while he had ruled out aj] other firms that made regular tender. If Mr. Fielding had made up his mind at the beginninz to give the contractto the New Yorkers on ihei. own terms, he could uot have taken a betier way to bring that about than hedid. Of all the companies in a position to do the work special favors were allowed to only one, and that was from a country in which no Canadian could get a contrast ur was even allowed to obtain employment.

The House went into supply on the harbor and river estimates at 10 o'clock. On the item of $30,906) for Summersi-le barbor, Hon. Mr. Larte explained that the pian of the proposed breakwater, to be 3,000 feet long, were estimated to coat $104,000. But he said that $30,000 was all that could be spent next year.

The Secretary of State to-day informed Senator Ferguson that an order-in-council had been passed by the present Govern- ment removing James Yeo from the position of Fishery Inspector for Prince Edward Island.

A small army of delegates from Quebec is in the city and had. an interview with the Prime Minister. They asked the Government to contribute $1,000,000 to the Quebec bridge.

Mr. Laurier said that generous assist- ance would be given.

LATEST NEWS BY WIRE AND MAIL.

Beruix, Mav 19.—The Turkish minister of war, Riza Pasha, today coatracted for 160,000 Mauser rifles.

Cuicaco, May 19 —A war of extermina- tion against sympathetic strikes in the building trades has been declared by a combination of Chicago contractors, em-: ployes and other business men. A serious conflict with vurganized labor is feared before the crusade 1s ended. The emp.oy- ers say they will make every effort to attain the desired end through co-operation and arbitration wih the building trades, council and affiliated uniona, but that if peaceful means fail, general lockouts, wage reductions and even legal proceedings may be resorted to in order to force the labor organizations to terms,

ConstrantinopLe, May 19.—An oificial statement was published tonight. After briefly reciting the Turkish side of the war up to the battle of Domokos, it says: * The czar sent the sultan a special tele- gram expressing his sincere sentiments eonfirming the pacific views of the powers snd appreciating the success of the imper- ial troops. The capture of Domokos tormed the natural limit of the defensive Operations, and the goverament being desirous of giviug fresh proof of its pacific intention, the cabinet decided, and its deci- sion was confirmed by an irade, to cease hostilities upon conditions to be arranged by the respective commanders. The con- ditions of peace fullowing the armistice will assure the future rights and dignity of the imperial government, the frontiers of Turkey and the preservation of general peace.

Tox1o, May 19.—The Dingley billis a sore subject with the Japanese. It is broadiy rumored and may be taken as a fact that Japan wiil retaliate for the tax- ing of siik bandkerchiefs by placing restrictions on the sale of American pet- roleum—hitherto the largest exyort to Japan; that the preference will be given to Indian cotton, which is in danger of being ousted from the fields by American pro- ducts, that the large trade in leather with San Francisco will goto Australian,Queens landand New South Wales. America stands now first on the list of consumers of Japanese manufactures. The empire could find no appreciative market for its tea, aud very few admirers for its silk if the United States shou'd impose a pro-

hibitive tariff, and yet, in the face of this possibility, Japan would place such restrictions on the esrale_ of

American oil that the trade would come toan absolute standstill. It needs but a word from the government organs to rouse the people to 8 feeling of indignation and sheer unwillingness to patronize American products

Howouceii,via San Franetsco, May 18,— “We want you people to keep your hands off this country.” This remark was drop ped by Admiral Beardslee during an in- formal conversation with the Japanese Minister resident in Hawaii. This is the only intimation the people of this ceuntry has ever received as to the mission ef the United States ship Philadelphia.

Tothis minister Shimamura replied ; “Would you like to have me quote your remark in my despatches to my Govern- ment ?”

* Well,” returned the Admiral, “you can tel] your Government that it was a remark passed while we were enjoying a social glass of wine if you want to.

This 1s one of the fleating straws that the people of Hawaii look upon as evi- dence that the United States will protecc their interes's in the Hawaiian Islands, and that they will require Japan to keep coo! in its dealings with the country and go about its diplomatic business without bluster or threats of force.
