Own." 105th Highland Regiment.

-_With the exception of "C" Company, which did not reach the City until the evening. when they came down by n special train from Summerside, the other three companies. “A” “B” and "D" were out in force and presented a magnificent appearance as they were pirt through various movements onthe old-time cricket field, where soldiers and blueiackets many a time in days gone by have gone through their ma- noeuvres. These were inter sting days, but on this occasion, witlle 1200 native Prince Edward Islanders in khaki “and equipped to iight for the Empire's defense at the greatest cri- sis in her history the scene was one which will eclipse all others as an

event in local military annals.

The troops after being reviewed by

His Honour Lieutenant Governor Mc- Donald, who passed through the lines in' company with Colonel ings, "marched past"- tothe stirring strains of tlie"Rdgin`1ental Band playing the regimont's own song “Boys of thc 105th." 'lihoy were then drawn up before the band stand where a pro- gramme of songs and speeches was carried out. The opening item onl this programme was the rendition of “O Canada" by the band. _

"Tipporai'y,” was then sung, Prof.

Watkis presiding at _ the piano. Prof. Barlow lead the group of singers on the bandstand while the soldiers and everyone clse who could sing joined in the chorus.

Major, the Reverend Dr. Fullerton.

who presided in a few introductory re- marks pointed out that only a few months previously it had been said by the authorities that it would be an lm- possibility to raise a fighting regiment in tbis~Province. Since that time two batteries and the present splendid regiment had been raised. The Doc- tor then called upon His Honour the Lieutenant Governor.

His Honour congratulated the young

men who had come forward so manful-_ ly to iight in the cause of justice and liberty. “The least we can do,” said His Honor. "is to come out here to-day and do honor, to those men who are going to iight for us as much as for any other part of the Emplre." He point- ed out that soon the men would bc going to Valcartier to continue their training and advised them to leave nothing undone to perfect themselves in their calling. Many of the men.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) OTTAWA. June 8.~The final argu-

ment by Messrs. E. F. B. Johnston, chief opposition counsel, and Messrs. John S. Ewart and Eugene Lafleur, re- tained by Geueral Sir Sam Hughes, was presented before the Meredith- Duff Commission to-day. The fuse inquiry will close tomorrow after argu- ments have been beard from Messrs. Nesbitt and N. K. Laftamme for the Shell Committee, Mr. George F. Hen- derson for Col. Allison and Mr. A. W. Atwater for the International Arms and Fuse Company. That there is no question in the minds of the Commis- sion of any public dishonesty or perso- nal corruption on the part of any per- son in authority in connection with the subjects of inquiry was made evident today by the comments of both Sir Wm. Meredith and Mr. Justice Dull. Futhermore a most complete exouera- tion of Major General Sir Sam Hughes in regard to many of the points which were attempted to be made against. jhim in the so called Kyte charges. was furnished by no less a person than Mr. Johnston chief opposition counsel. him- self. Mr. Johnston stated this morn- ing that when the Shell Committee had awarded the fuse contracts to the Uni- ted States they had done so against the expressed wish and determination of General Hughes. Mr. F. B. Car- vell. it will be remembered, yesterday cxculpated General Bertram on all points in connection with the fuse .contracts so that the opposition is now approaching a rather unique position in regard to the charges they have. made. Mr. Cnrvell's' argument of yesterday fared somewhat badly at the hands of Mr. Justice Duff, today. Tis claim that there was something cor-

The contention of Mr. Kyte‘s counsel that from his rela- tions with Allison General Hughes must have known that he was to get s commission on the Fuse Contract with the American Ammunition Company did not seem to impress the court any more favorably. ._

Commissioner Duff. confessing that

he could not follow Mr. Carvell’s argu- ment. and to Mr. Johnston also, the Conirnissiriner ogserved that it struck him ns quite reasonable that the Mi- nister of Militia should have consi- dered the special mission which Col. Allison was undertaking- for him on the Fuse Contract a personal matter lnvolving no commission. Mr. John- ton's argument this morning was on the whole in striking contrast to that of Mr. Carvell yesterday. a rB&80ned statement rather than a' political speech. Mr. J. S. Ewsrt'_s_ statement was in the main a reply to Messrs Car- vell and Johnston while Mr. Lafleur dealt mainly with the matter of tho scope of the inquiry. Both counsel referred to the evidence as comp! tely disproving even the highly fndeanitc charges made against the Minister of Militia in the speeches of Messrs. Kyte and Carvell. While Mr. Laiiuer spoke warmly of the methods adopted by Mr. Kyte’s counsel to insinuate' what he did not care to state, be .point- -ed out for instance l.hat_,Mr'. Carveii had claimed that $26,000 was paid-by Yoaknm to Col. Allison for his in- fluence to obtain fuse contracts when documentary evidence which had been produced before the commission show- ed that the money had been paid over
