CHARLOTTETOWN P. E. ISLAND, FRIDAY MAY IY, 1899
PARLIAMENT NEWS SIR ALFRED MILNER FROM OTTAWA = AND KRUGER
Mr. Haggart on the Are to Meet an the 30th Drummond Deal
AND ON THE INTERCOLONIAL | RAILWAY DEFICITS
The Expropriation Bill Amendment | Aud Endeavour to Settle the Matter
Killed in th: Senate.
(Seeciin ro Taz Examiver®)
Orrawa, May 19.—The discussion of the Drammond Railway Bill occupied the whole of the day afier questions.
It was opened by Haggart who reviewed the whole series of transactions connected with this contract.
Haggart admitted that in 1891, he had thought of extending the line to Montreal and had thought of the Drummond road in that cornection, but be made no offer for the line, and did not accept an offer made to him for $550,00@. He mentioned the matter only to Foster and Ives, Foster strongly opposed the purchase of the line but Ives was rather favorable provided good terms could be made.
The late Government remaiaed in office two years longer and saw no reason for re-opening the question. But Haggart knew that the road was offered to others for $ 409,000.
After quoting Tarte’s statements about Greenshield’s help to purcbase La Patrie newepaper for Tarte, Haggart eaid, that though he pever had charged corruption against the Ministers yet the whole Drums mond affair certainly did savor of corrup- tion.
Tn® origizal bargain was so badas to prove that the men who made it were either fools or else received some induce~ ment for their conduct.
Referring to Blair’s criticism Haggart and that Blair wuad shown his capacity by increasing the > CO. R., deficit to $209,000 though he had changed everything possible to capital.
These capital charges he was increasing ootwithstauding the former declarations of his colleagues that capital expenditure ought to be closed.
He, Haggart, had always been willing that all money earned by the Intercolonial should be speat on it. He never demanded that it should'make money. But an expen~ diture of $900,000 to capitel account would not be agrecable to Oataric members.
The result of the firs: year’s operations
ofthe Drurnmond Railway was concealed
frm the public, Mr, Blalr asserting that no separate account could be kept.
Mr. Haggart asserted that separate ac- counts could be produced, and showed that Sir Oliver Mowat virtually promised io the Senate that such a statemeat would be prepared and bad said that the Drum~ mond-wouuld-be based as an experiment and if it were found by returns of business that it was profitabie it could be purcnased.
Mr. Blair was somewhat disturbed by this,and stated that he was not responsible for the statement made to the Senate.
Mr. Haggart concluded after dinner, and was followed by Mr. Morrison of New Westminster.
The Senate sueceeded last night in kill- ing the Government bill. It was intro~
The House then resumed committee On | duced by Mr. Mills come time ago and was |
to amend the expropriation act.
The bill was killed in committee on @ vote of 19 to 12.
Sir Wilfred Laurier stated in the House thatthere would be an adjournment from tonight until Thursday next over the Qaeen’s birthday. To make up for this the House would sit on Saturday.

The Pacific Cable.
Lonpox, May 18.—The correspondent here of the Associated Press learps on un- doubted authority that the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michae] Hicke-~Beach, is responsibie for tbe somewhat niggardly financial support offered by the Imperial Government to the Pacific cable project, i but that the High Commissioner of Cana~ da,Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal ,and the other interested Agents-General are apparently satisfied, from the develop- mente of the last few days, that the Secre- tary of State for the Colonies, Mr. Joseph
towards fostering the scheme than some ef his colleagues, will ultimately prevail on the Home Government to contribute & a considerable portion of the eapital required in establishing the projected cable.
