Charges and Counter Charges.

The Case of Governor Schultz,

{SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EXAMINER. | (Concluded )

I have gone very considerably into de- tails of the foregoing examination for this reason: The object of Mr. Lister and his fricnds has been to connect Mr. Chapleau with the payment of these commissions, and to prove, if possible, that some of the Money weul into Chapiesu’s pocket. Mr. Danseresu, who is the present postmaster of Montreal, appointed only a tew months ago, is a cluse personal friend of Chapleau’s, and has always been a prominent Oonserva- tive worker. Lister’s ubject was to show that Rolland had paid Dansereau moneys for Chapleau. But he failed. Your read- ers should also remember that Lister de- clared some weeks ago that he could prove a corrupt bargain between Chapleau and the New England Paper Co., for the benefit of La Presse, in which Chapleau is a share- holder, but he has so far failed to do so, although Chapleau challenged him to the proof. Lister blows a good deal about what he can prove, but he has adduced nothing yet either to incriminate Chapleau or to show that the Government hive been charged exorbitant prices. All that has been proved is that Senecal bled the manu- facturers.

On Friday the Cummittee commenced the investigation of charges preferred against Horace Talbot and Ernest Dion, two efticials of the Public Works Depart- ment, that they had purchased goods from Ottawa dry goods dealers for themselves and their families and had charged them to the Government, and that they had been paid for by Government cheques. The transactions teok piace so far back as 1885.

Mr. Ashfield, crockery dealer, testified that he had supplied the Public Works De- partmeut with goods for many years, and in 1885, when Talbot was receiving office. All these goods had been delivered to the Department, and he had never paid any commissions or given any presents, hor was he asked to do so. Mr. Somerville said he had been informed exactly the opposite, and Mr. Ashfield told him his information was incorrect.

Mr. Bourcier, dry goods dealer, testified that he had allowed his name to be used for one Larose, another dealer, for goods La- rose had sold the Department, but he knew nothing of the transaction. Larose was a Grit, and was not one of those from whom the Department was in the habit of pur- chasing. That was the reason assigned by Larose when he asked the accommodation of Bourcier’s name. Larose had assured him the account was correct.

Larose and Charlebois, his book-keeper, both testified that Talbot and Dion were in the habit of purchasing articles for their houses at Larose’s store, and of having them charged as linen to the Department. These goods were delivered at their houses and were paid for by government cheques. Larose was well aware the articles were not for the Government, but he did not care, eo long as he got paid for them. Talbot and Dion both denied any such transaction, and swore that everything they bought for their houses they paid for, and that the linen was for the purpose of mouniing maps, and was del vered to the department. There the case rests for the present. We have the evidence of Larose and Charlebois, two men who admit they knew they were defrauding the Govern- ment, against the flat denial uf the accused, Talbot and Dion,

There was a lively scene during the sit- ting between Mr. Lister and Col. Denison, one of the Toronto members. Denison is a quiet man, seldom heard from, and wears the order of a C. M. G. for his services as captain of the Nile Voyageurs some years ago. Lister happened to say that the ex- pusures were no surprise to him, «as he knew all about them years ago. Where- upon Denison remarked that he should be ashamed ot himself for not having made them known before. Lister declared he would take no such impertinence from Denison, but Denison told him he would have to take it. Lister is a bully, and always acts in a very insolent and offensive manner.

Sometime ago Mr. Mulock preferred charges against Lieut.-Governor Schultz of Manitoba, that he had charged the Govern- ment with expenditure on the boat Kee- watin, which had never been incurred, for men’s wages, provisions, and repairs. Governor Schultz was summoned to Uttawa and arrived some ten days ago, and pre- sented himself before the committee. But Mulock would have none of him; he wanted Stewart and Monkman, the men who had made the complaint. So they weresummoned. Friday evening they pre- sented themselves for examination, when Mulock refused to examine them, and said he would examine Schultz first. Mr. Fos- ter protested against any such child’s play, but Mulock, who was supported by Somer- ville, McMullen and Lister, would not give way. They accused the Governor of lack of moral courage in not coming forward at once, but it is not extraordinary—indeed, | think it is in accordance with the prin- ciples of British justice that the accuser should make his charge so that the accused

hall know what it is. The grit member om Essex, Mr. McGregor, was thoroughly disgusted with his colleagues’ action, and told them plainly it was they who displayed

a lack of moral co . The committee decided by a vote of 12 to 8 to examine

Stewart first, and Mr. McGregor voted against his grit friends on the question.

Governor Schultz is not a handsome man —far from it—but he is a man who has been a prominent figure in the Northwest for the last 30 years. Regarding him the Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto News writes :

‘John Christian Schultz, Lieutenant Gevernor of Manitoba, is of Norse and Swedish descent. He was born in 1840 in Amherstburg, in the County of Essex, and was educated at Kingston and Toronto. He went to Fort Garry in Rupert’s Land in 1860, returned to Ontario in 1861, graduated in medicine and went back to the Great Lone Land. There he made extensive botanical collections and established an institute which received instant recognition as an authority on all matters pertaining to that wonderful country. He was an ardent advocate of con- federation. Inthe Red River rebellion his figure stood forth as that of the chiefest hero, When Fort Garry was captured his house was burned to the ground and he himself was incarcerated. He escaped in the following year, a price was set upon his head, and the exits from the territories were closed against him, But he found his way through cruei herdships to Ottawa. Upon his return to Manitoba he was elected to represent Marquette in the Federal Parliament. In 1882 he was raised to the Senate, and in 1888 was appointed to the honorable position which he now holds. Heis a man of com- manding figure and striking face, of perfect courage and intrepidity, of rich and varied experience, of great eloquence, a man of whom Parkside might have made a hero had he lived two hundred years ago.”

Well, Stewart was put on the stand. He bad acted as sailing master of the Keewa- tin, and when he had examined the Audi- tor-General’s report, and saw the sums charged against the Keewatin, he thought them excessive, and, of course, he wrote to the newspapers, Mulock, when the com- mittee decided to examine Stewart first, again behaved like a child, and sulked and would take no part in the proceedings. So Mr. Skinner, of St. John, N. B., a Conser- vative, took up the case to see what there was in it, Stewart's examination re- sulted in his saying that le made only one trip of six weeks in the boat, but he did not know whether the boat made any more trips or not, and for all he knew the expenses might have been incurred on an- other trip trip, as indeed they were. The Keewatin is rather an unfortunate boat. Last year she upset in Lake Winnipeg, when three men were drowned, and again this year she upset, and lost her load of) provisions. Stewart declared she was un- seaworthy, but Governor Schultz produced statements signed by Stewart as sailing master in which he spoke of her capital sailing qualities, and how well she had acted in a heavy sea. Stewart finally ac- knowledged that he had misunderstwod the accounts, anud- that if the facts were as proved by the vouchers produced by Gov- ernor Schultz, he had done the Governor an injustice. He and the Governor used to be very friendly, but they had had a fall-

ing out which resulted in the present trouble. The charges against Mr. Cochrane,

M. P., of selling the patronage of his county have not been substantiated by the evidence, It happens that large costs had been incurred by the Conservatives of his district in contesting elections to the local Legislature of ,Outario, and that the Conservative committee had adopted a method of paying these costs by levying an assessment On persons appointed to minor offices in the riding. Mr. Cochrane was not concerned in it, however, nor was it proved that he had any knowledge of the system pursued. Certainly hedid not bene- fit by the practice, and it was no affair of his, as he was in no way liable for the ex- penses.

The Elections and Privileges Committee, in the McGreevy-Langevin case, appointed | a sub-committee, consisting of Sir John} Thompson, Messrs. Gonriard and Adams} (Conservatives), and David Mills anid Davies (Liberals), to prepare a report for) submission to the House. It is not proba-! able that the sub-committee wi!] agree, and | there will be likely a majority and minority | report. As | observe that the Grit papers. have been quoting the unfavorable opinions | of some of the British press upon the con- | duct of Sir Hector Langevin, I give the following extracts to show that some of them think differently §:—

The Edinburg Scots Observer says :

“Tt was not imputed to Sir Hector that he had taken or given bribes. We even regretted | his resignation as a concession to the ‘stimu- | lant of a public clamoring tor his head on a! charger.’ And, now that he has submitted himself to cross-examination as hostile and! unfair as ever political rancor dictated, we!

have no hesitation in declaring that, to judge | by the explicit frankness of his answers, he | left the court as he entered it—a gentleman.” |

The London Daily News, a Radical sheet, gays :

‘“‘His resignation was not in any way} intended or coul1 be fairly construed as an admission of guilt. On the contrary, it was |

Newcastie, Sept. 10.—The trades union congress to-day voted in favor of raising to 13 years, the age at which children shal! be allowed to work in factories. It passed re- solution condemning sub-letting govern- ment contracts and holding that public bod- ies Ought not to enter into contracts with firms refusing to conform to the customary wages decreed as being just by trades unions.

Lima, O., Sept. 8.—A terrific fight among farmers is reported to-night from Celina. This morning, while James Lewis and Tom Johnson were running a threshing machine on John Cole’s farm, Lewis cut Johnson on the hand. He claimed that the act was accidental. Johnson, however, would listen to no explanation, and rushed at Lewis, striking him a terrific blow in the face. Lewis fell under the thrashing ma- chine and was drawn between the cylin- ders. He was killed instantly. Frank Lewis, a brother of James, was witness of the affair. He caught up a pitehfork, and, before anybody had time to restrain him, he plunged the tines into Johnson’s stomach, killing him almost instantly. Lewis is under arrest.

New York, Sept. 10.—A special from San Salvador tothe Herald says: ** A mil- lion dollars worth of property and many lives were destroyed in this republic by an earthquake to-day (Wednesday). Whole towns were wiped out, and so far as ad- vices received here indicate hardly a city in the country except those along the coast escaped the awiul effects of the con- vulsion. The shock occurred at 2 o'clock in the morning. People rushed from the houses in their night clothing, and, while the shock lasted only twenty seconds before it passed away, there was a panic-stricken mob making its way to the open country outside the city. All through the morning there have been slight shocks, but none ap- proaching in violence tu that which proved so destructive.”
