P. E. ISLAND’S CLAIMS.

Tas papera laid on the table of the Senate a few days ago in compliance with the motions by Senator Ferguson are in- teresting to Prince Edward Islanders. On

| his sincerity.

After referring, incidentally, to the non-fulfilment of the union, Mr. Peters introduces the subject of railways, basing his argument on the Goyern-

terms of

work of the Sullivan—Ferguson ment ia 1886, and winds up by ‘proposing that a)] questions between the Island ard the Dominion should be submitted to arbi- tration. This proposition is made with- out any reference to either a written or verbal refusal by the Laurier Administra- Is it usual for one party toa transaction to ask for an

tion to entertain these claims!

the 13th of August last the Lieut..Governor transmitted tothe Secretary of State a minute of council asking that the claim of P E. Ieland regarding piers should be re- epened for a fresh consideration of the, claim of P. E. Island to be refunded $22,000 for sums expended, since 1873, by the Local Government on the East River, piers, viz.,"Appie Tree, Red Point, McCan- me!|’s, Haggarty’s, Hayden’s, Cranberry Gillis’ and Mt. Stewart. The $22,000 is made up ofthe amounts expended on the piers for twenty-three veera with interest compounded, and deductis + tolls received.

lt is singular that the Pevers’ Govern- ment should now demand a refund for East River-piers without including others in different parts of the Province which! remain & charge upon the Provincial Gov-

arbitration before the anything?

Other party says the correspondence, nor any reference to cdu- versations to show that the Federal Gov" *rnment bad expressed any opinion; and yet the Local Premier proposes “an Arbi- tration” by three meu,— a Prince Edward Islander not to be one of them !

The proposal to arbitrate between the Local and Federal Governments'regarding the claim» of P. E. Island toa fair share of railway expenditure, shows that the Liberal Policy is,*Plesty of Cash for our corrupt local rulers Branes Rail- ways to Belfast, Murray Harbor, New London and other places,” is the issue which the people interested -in these branches must k.ep straight before their

It is also remarkable that,| although the claim of the Province was | made in August last, no further action has | been. takea by either Government except the formal acknowledgmént of Govervor | Howlan’s despatch by the Under Secretary of State, dated the 18th day of a 1896. The claim of Mr. Peters has evid- ently been treated with contemptuous in- difference by the Laurier Cabinet, and the | correspondence shows that, amidst all

samen. a those who remember the course pur- sned by the Liberals when the Sullivan Government were pressing the claim of | the Province regarding piers, these papers are very suggestive. Then Messrs. Sulli- van, Ferguson and Prowse were denounced as “ beggars” because they demanded the rights of their Province. Mr, Davies tried to frustrate the efforts of the Provincial’ Government by raising, iu the name of Mr. King, some bogus claims of New Brunswick, which have never been heard of since, while the Pa riot quoted diction- aries to prove that P. E. Island wharves were not piers at ail because they were built of wood. Now our ‘grit rulers, like Lazarus of old, are trying to pick up the crambs which fell from the table of the Sullivan-Ferguson Government. It seems that the unsavory task of “eating the leek ” ia the fate of the Liberals al! round. Who does not remember the oft-repeated assertions of Mr. Farquharson and others thav'the Sullivan Government were com- pelled to give a receipt is-full of all the

eyes. The railway question should be settled the late Government proposed to settle it, by the construction of branch railways in P. E, Island,and not-by diverting money to the extravagant aod corrupt uses of the Peters administration.

now quite anumber come over in sail boats anddo their trading. It is well known that goods can be brought here cheaper than almost anywhere in business centres bordering on Northumberland Straits and, there js no doubt, were cheap travelling facilities afforded the people, this trade could be largely extended, and in place of the people across the straits trading with only a few of our merchants likely all would receive a share.

Besides,a steamer running as the Pioneer proposes would be in the closest possible touch with Amherst, Springhill and other Nova Scotia towns affording a market for P. E.Isiand produce which could be easily “run in” over the Tormentiue and Intercolonial railways. The idea suggested by the Pioneer seems to be well worth

Island claims to pier money before pay- ment was made of the $79,006 then paid the Province? Here is what the Peiers tiitjute-of-council of August last says on this peint : , “ The local Government, from the first, efused to agree to this clause (requiring a receipt in full) @nd ‘did not pass any wiinute-of.council, and by adeed which was executed by the local Government to e,Minister of Public Works on behalf of @ Dominion Government, and which was by him, it was expressly stated that the sum therein mentioned was taken in full of the special piers mentioned in in the conveyance only.” _ When the Conservatives assume contro] at the affairs of Prince Edward Island, as they are likely to after the general elec~

MILES OF WARSH P3,

Big Naval Review off Spithead—Other Jub fee Arrange nents, According to a reeent despatch from eS

London the most striking feature of. the Queen’s diamond jubilee festivities wi ll be the naval review at Spitbead, June 25.

Thirty miles of warships wil! be drawn npinthe Solent for inspection by the Queen. The front line will be composed of twenty fereign ships. The remainiog six lines will rep’esent every type of the British navy.

The illu:sination of the fleet at nignt will be a display unique both for its brilliance and ite magnitude,

Members of both Houses of Parliament will be guests of the Admira.tv on board the C: mpania, while hundreds of other stean ships, yachts, and juneiws are elartered for private jarties. Hel an lodging accommodations thr ongtoutthe Svicat districts already are at a huge pre- mium. Special trains will run to London all uight, bringing back visisors.

The ovly Brit ish colony that bas refused to esle»rate tle Queen’s jubilee is British Guiaua,iw defence of whuse claims against Venezuela Great Britain almost provoked arupture with the United States, The governing body there has cometo che conclusion that as numerous veeded Jocal undertakings have been neglected for the want of money, it would be criminal ex-- travagance (o appropriate public money for jubilee festivities.

Stands to accommodate 3,900 neople are being erected outside the House of Com- mons, and considerable traffising in seats is going On among members. Hach mem ber is entitied to One seat free, and to two seats for ladies, for which he has to pay twenty-five shillings ($6). Members who have places at other parts of.the route are selling House of Commons seats to colleagues, and even to outsiders, at fiye guineas each.

Abont two guineas is the average price of seats along the route, a heavy slump. from the figure expected.

William Waldorf Astor enjoys the dis-

offerec| for viewing the procession, having secured for £1,100 ($5,500), Lord Norman-. ton’s house in Pali Mall, about three times its present value.

The route of the procession through London is now a line of carpenter shops, stands, balconies, and protective hoard- ings. Three billion cubic feet of timber, or 464,415 tons of wood and iron, are. being consumed in structures for decara-, tions and for viewing stands, some in the, form of theaters, with boxes, balconies, and: galleries.
