Notes and Comments.

Harvesting is begun in this Province)

under the most propitious circumstances.

—Tarte wishes now that he hadn't spoken. But its the old story, wy hen thieves fall out the truth comes out.

_—It is sad to reflect that among those directly and undoubtedly implicated in “the Quebec Steal” are severa! of the most prominent grit purists in Canada.

—It is stated that the constituents of Mr. H. C. Macdonald, in Belfast, are much dis- pleased on account0f his recent interference in the matter of the Marriage License Act.

—Uanada still lags behind in the manu- facture of butter for the European market. Last year the export of cheese amounted to $9,000,000, while that of butter reached only $340,131.

—Grits and Tories all agree that Sir John Thompson has done the right thing in res- pact to Thomas McGreevy. The country will backjhimjup. It is well,at this juncture, that there is at the head of affairs a man of judicial mind—a man who is determined to make the power and authority of Parlia- ment felt to the terror of evil doers.

—Reports come from the country, thick and fast, thatSthe repairs to the roads is being neglected by the Peters-McLean- Farquharson combination. Supporters of the Government are, it is said, greatly dis- appointed. They expected an improve- ment in the conduct of public affairs; they see the reverse of improvement.

— Says the Montreal Gazette: As the Liberals are counting on coming into power at an early date it may not be out of place to suggest the following as suitable repre- sentatives of the Quebec section of the party in the Cabinet :—

President of the Council—Mr.

Minister of Militia—-Col. Amyot.

Minister of Public Works—Mr. Mercier.

Minis‘er of Finance—Pacaud.

Platform: Make hay while the shines.

—If the opinion that the existing treaty between Great Britain and Spain entitles us to any reductions extended to the Unit- ed States by Cuba and Porto Rico until July 1st next, 1892, and a year thereafter, Great Britain and her Colonies will profit (for one year at least) as a result of Mr. Blaine’s negotiations with Cuba and Porto Rico, while the United States wiil have British competition where they hoped for monoply. The market for P. E. Island potatoes and fish will this fall depend ma- terially upon the interpretation given to the treaties between Spain and Great Britain.

The Blue Jackets Skirmishing.

At ten o'clock this morning the ofticers and men of H. M. S. Canada paraded at Victoria Park for the purpose of drill. On arrival there they were drawn up in col- umn, forming two companies under com- mand of Lieut. Williams. No. 1 Company was instructed to extend from the centre sections at 15 paces intervals between sec- tions and 5 paces between files; No. 2 Company to act as support. A body of marines was extended in the wood near the breastwork, about 600 yards distant, and formed the defence.

The bugle sounded the advance, when No. 1 Company went forward by short rushes under section commanders, finally by word of command, No. 2 following in extended order for support until they ad- vanced within about one hundred yards of the enemy. When the order was given for the supports to close up, which they did in quick style, all fixed bayonets and charged with a ringing British cheer. The red coats fell back under the attack.

After this manoeuvre, companies were re- formed and marched back to the parade ground. The blue jackets were then put through the manual exercises which they performed with greatexactness. The bayonet exercise by the marines was exceedingly well executed, and was much admired by the spectators.

THE BIG STEAL.

——— FACTS IN EVIDENCE, Public Money Used to Pay

the Private Debts of Mercier & Co.

GRIT PURITY ILLUSTRATED.

Orrawa, Aug. 14.-—The first witness put into the box this morning was Mr.

Dumoulin, manager of the Banque du Peuple a‘ Quebec. This gentleman is a brother-in-law of Pacaud, and told what be had to say with the great-

est diffidence But out of him was got the story that on May 6 he made an advance of $20,000 to P. Vallieres on a note endorsed by Pacaud. The proceeds of the note, $19,- 720, were placed to the credit of Pacaud. The money was drawn out at different times, the last payment being on the 3rd June. This transaction was exactly simi- lar to that at the Banque Nationale re- corded yesterday. The same forms were gone through with; there was the same 60- day note of Vallieres, endorsed by Arm- strong: the same cheque on the Union Bank drawn by Chrysostom Langelier in favor of Armstrong and endorsed by him; the same letter from the cashier of the Union Bank, and Pacaud took the note, the cheque and the letter to the Bank du Peuple and drew $19,720.

charged that the $100,000 was disposed of | by five cheques of $20,000 each. So here we have two of the $20,000 cheques ac- counted for, one at the Banque Nationale and one at the Banque du People.

WHAT PACAUD DID WITH HIS MONEY,

On the same day that the deal was con-

summated with the bank which placed to the credit of Pacaud another $20,000, he drew against it three checks, one for $6,000 one for $1,000 and one for $2,150. Mr. Dumoulin didn’t kuow anything about what was done with these cheques. Asked if they had not been used to retire certain notes in the same bank, he couldn't say. He had not the bank books with him and the committee had arranged that a deputa- tion consisting of Mr. Barwick, Mr. Cock- burn and an accountant should go to Quebec and investigate the books, when it transpired that the witness had in another pocket certain papers, to wit. an extract from the note diary of the bank, and a let- ter which went a long way to clear up mat- ters. The former had a list of four notes which were retired with this money. The first was a note for $400, the pro- missor being Mr. Carrier, the well-known member of the firm of Langelier & Carrier; the endorser, Pacaud, and it was retired on May 4, though not due until the 8th. The second was a note for $150 by the late James Carroll, endorsed by Pacaud and retired on May 6, due May 8th. This was the name on the list of Mr. Mercier’s in- deotedness mistaken for Mr. Carroll, M. P. for Kamonraska. The third was a note by J. G, M. Deschene, M. P. P. for L’Islet for $150, endorsed by Pacaud, due on May 31, but retired by Pacaud on May 11. The fourth was a $1,000 note. The promissor is J. Israel Tarte, M. P. for Montmorency, endorsed by Pacaud and Francois Langelier, M. P., due on June 3, but retired by Pacaud on May 11. It was explained that the bank would not take Mr. Tarte’s name and that consequently Mr. Langelier’s was secured to give the note standing.

A FAMOUS LETTER.

There was some fun when it transpired that Mr. Francois Langelier had advised Mr. Dumoulin that he need not produce the last papets to the committee. ‘The se- cond document is most interesting. It isa memorandum by Mr. Dumoulin to the cashier of the Banque du Peuple, and read as follows :

La Banque DU PEOPLE, Quesec, 6th May, 1891. To J. S. Bosquet, £sq., Cashier, —

Dear Six,-Mr. Phillip Vallieres, one of our rich clients, has discounted here to-day his note for $20,000 to the order of Ernest Pacaud. Mr. Vaillieres has a guar- antee of the Government, which he hag left with me, and which I will collect myself on the 10th July. The proceeds of that dis- eount are to be applied by Mr. Pacaud to meet sundry notes maturing from to-day to June 3, among which there is a sum of $5,000 payable to ourselves, so that we shall disburse only $15,000. The only in- convenience that I saw in that transaction was the shortness of funds in which I am. At first I refused for that reason, but the Hon, Charles Langelier, who accompanied Mr, Vallieres, promised me a deposit of $50,000 from the proceeds of the loan (Mercier expected $10,000,000 European loan), and this over and above the sum which you yourself expect tohave. Under the circumstances, I thought I ought to undertake the transaction.

Yours very truly, P, B. Dumovutm, Manager. ASTOUNDING REVELATIONS.

It was the evidence of the next witness that exposed the whole transaction. Mr. Webb of the Union Bank was the gentle- man. Here is the story in brief, it will3be found in full elsewhere: In April §Pacaud came to him and asked him to discount a letter of credit of the Local Government tor $175,000. He said he would consider the matter, and finally induced Mr. Gabou- ary of the Banque Nationale to take $75,- 000 of it, and two letters were issucd. It will be rememtered that Mr. Gabouary discounted the $75,000 letter of credit on April 28. Meantime Pacaud had been talking toomuch toMr. Webb. In fact he told him the whole story; told him how the money was being got; told him that he (Pacaud) was to get about $50,000 of it for his own use, and what was to be done with the balance. With this knowledge in his possession Mr. Webb and his board of directors refused to touch the letter of credit, well knowing that the money was being got illegitimately and wrongfully. Pacaud camo back with his five cheques for $20,000, but they were not cashed. The thing dragged along until May 6, when Pacaud found he must have money. Notes = liabilities were coming due, and must met.

It will be remembered that Mr. Barwick {

HOW THE MONEY WAS GOT.

Mr. Webb refused the letter of credit, refused to discount Vallierers’ note and refused to make an advance. Neither would he guarantee a cheque on any other bank. At last this arrangement was made : Che letter of credit, a document cet, Sal P. Garneau, acting Premier, underta to pay on or before July 10, $100,000 out of the subsidy to the Baie des Chaleurs Railway Company, was taken to the Union

ik for collection. oT hin was on May 6. Then Mr. Chrysos- tom Langelier, commissioner, issued tive ' cheques of $20,000 each, drawn in favor of 'C. N. Armstrong and endorsed by that | gentleman against this smount. — The cheques were handed over to Pacauc, and Mr. Webb gave a letter undertaking to cash them whea tke amount of. the ietter | of credit was paid in. Then Vallieres gave | his notes ; two of the cheques were used as |security and Pacaud raised $40,000 that day on the Banque Nationale and the Banque du Peuple, as already described. The other three cheques were deposited in the Union Bank. THE LETTER OF OBEDIT CASHED.

On July 10 the letter of credit was cashed $20,000 went to retire the note In the Banque Nationale; $20,000 to retire the note in the Banque du People, and the balance, $60,000, was placed to the credit of Pacaud in the Union Bank. There goes the whole $100,000. Pacaud evidently wanted money pretty badly about that time. The $60,000 was placed to his credit on July 16. On the 11th he issued five cheques against that deposit, one for $500, one for $25,000, a total of $41,500 in one day. On July 21 there was a cheque for $7,000, on July 22 a cheque for $5,000, and on July 24 one for $3,060.

THE WORST YET.

Mr. Webb, just before concluding, gave a piece of information that startled everybody more than anything that had gone before. He said that at this timethe Union Bank held certain notes which Pacaud retired with his money. He could not remember about all these notes, but among them were liabilities ef Hon Honore Mercier, Hon Charles Lange- lier and L P Pelletier, MPP. Ina word, the money stoleu from tde Government with the sanction of the Government was ased to psy the liabilities of the members of the Government.

TWO INTERESTING STATEMENTS,

The committee held a session in the evening and elicited two important statements. One was fiom Mr. Webb, which leaves a very grave suspicion that the $100,000 letter of credit, the money which Pacaud boodled for the benefit of persons not neceasary to name, was paid largely out of the Dominion subsidy.

Mr. Armstrong told all he knew about the affair. He frankly owned up that the price for the transfer of the road from the old com- pany te the new was $100,000 to Pacaud, and that he went to Pacaud because he knew him to be the man who had the pull.
