HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. OFFICIAL SUMMARY.

Tuespay, April 17.

After recess,—

Mr. Speaker took the Chair at 10 p. w., when the debate was:esumed _Mr. Biake was of opinion that the literal fulfilment of the Terms of Union in this respect is not feasible. He would net give away ourclaim for compensation for non-fulfilment of the terms; yetan ex- pression of opinion as to the best means of up communication would not weaken our claim. The question cannot be Settled all at once. Whenthe ‘ Northern Light” was placed on the route, it took considerable time to show what she could do. She has done fai:ly well, but there should betwo boats, ‘here suould be a boat at the Capes, and houses built there for the better accommodation of passengers andcrews, ‘The matter is now fairly before Government, and as the Railway is tobe built tothe Cape, there will not be so much reason to find fault in the future. He considered that the Government have urged the claims of the island well, and have used every argument, if the Dominion continue to neglect, it will be the duty ofthe Legislature to lay the matter before the Queen. The project of a tunnel is not feasible, the cost of building it would not be warranted by the state of the country. Pelitical parties should unite in insisting upon the carrying out of the| Although times are not’ in Charlottetown as we should like, still he failed to see where the ruin and desola- tion, pictured by Mr. Farquharson, exist.

Mr. Prowsz in seconding the resolution, said there wos great darger of this Province accepting something in lieu of the Terms of Union not adequate to the terms guaran- teed us. He was prepared to accept 4 much less sum then £560,000 for a certain nvmber of years, so as to leave the quesuion for those, who shall hereafter have the management of effairs, to secure the In his opinien

Terms of Union literally except by a tunnel. would never be one to induce the Dominion Government to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in attempting to fulfil the terms by impracticable measures. The Terms of Union are literally carried ont so far as summer c.mmunication is concerned, even though the boats are not able to carry a dollar’s worth of freight. He condemned the advocacy of any particu- Jar route or system which is often dictated by selfish motives He had given his opinion before the Committee at Ottawa, that their investigation will do very little good. He recommended the appeintment of a Scientific Commission compcsed of the very best Engineers and experienced Seal Hunters from Newfoundland, who would report the best way, not of improving the present means of communication, but of fulfilling the Terms of Union. Once we aimit that the terms cannot be literally carried out, we give away the whole case. Let us demand the fulfilment of the terms, if the Dominion say they cannot fulfil them, then let them instead. The delegates had advocated, to the best of their ability, the claims of this Province upon this subject as well as the Piers question.

‘testimony of experienced mariners would be

preferable. Every month of the year ve. sels enter Souris Harbor. The ‘* North-

Mr. McLeop said we have nothing to do with the mode by which the Dominion Gov- ernment should carry out the Terms of Union, they clearly undertook to give us eficient steam communication so regular that even the mails were to be transmitted by that line. The present Dominion Gov- vernwent have done no more than the McKenzie Government, who, in what they did, considered they accomplished all that was necessary, for had not Mr. McKenzie eaid that they had done very well for the Island, and had not Mr. Blake prepared an

Mr. J. R. McLean regretted that this important question had not been more! strongly pressed during the last few years. | In his opinion the only means of securing’ communication is by a proper line of steamersrunning between Cape George and Georgetown or Souris. The crosa-ing at the Capes may be greatly improved, and a bet-| ter class of boats provided, but no matter what accommodation may be _ provided there, and which will suit very well for the convenience of passengers and mails, there are’no means of transport for freight. With a boat from 700 to 1,000 tons, differently constructed from the ‘‘Northern Light” on the eastern route, the winter navigation of the Gulf would be quite practicable, and sit could have crossed at least twice every week this last winter. The distance between | Souris and Cape George is 29 miles, and between Georgetown and Pictou 45 miles, a railway could easily be constructed to Cape (reorge. After every reasonable effort has been attempted and failed, he did not consider it too much to look for and expect a tunnel. It was a great inconvenience to mercantile men that the ‘Northern Light” ceased running so early. Thousands of dollars worth of freight were left on both sides, awaiting shipment. The advantage to merchants of being enabled te lay in their supplies once or twice every month would be very great.

The House went into Committee of the whole, Mr. Holland in the Chair.

Mr. SuLLivaN moved the following resol- ution :—

Resolved, That this House approves of the ac‘ion of the Government of this Province, in urging upon the Dominion Government the ful- tilment, by the latter, of the Terms of Con- federation, respecting the establishment and maintenance ¢. ef‘icient steam service for the conveyance o: rails and pase2ngers between Prince Edwe ) {sland and the Mainland of the Dominion, winter and summer, go as to place the Island in continuous communication with the Intercolonial Railway and the Railway system of the Dominion, as well as in Cemande ing compensation by reason of the failure on = part of Canada to perform such obligation; an

Island to enter the Confederation, believ- ing that the markets would be open to them equally winter and summer.

Mr. Macponatp said that the Georgetown and Pictou route is the only one that has proved successful in keepang up communi- cation. The ‘‘ Northern Light” first attempted Charlottetown, but it proved a failure. She was ordered to Cape Traverse, but was never able to reach there. She was directed to land at Cape George, bat failed. The only persons competent to judge of the best points are those who have been on the Gulf for a suceession of winters. The first winter the ‘* Northern Light” was on the route she was not as good a boat as she is now, she was poorly con- structed. There is no doubt that on this route two boats can keep up regular and steady communica‘ion with the Mainland In summer two boats are not considered

sufficient for the service, yet in winter we

are to suppose that one boat, constructed as an experiment, will answer the purpose. ; What is wanted are more boats and in- creased power. The ‘‘ Northern Light” should be continued on the present route, and an additional boat placed wherever it may be proved thet communication is prac- ticable. We should state what we require. When the Railroad shal] have been built to Cape Traverse, we shall have very much improved communication. A class of boat like the ‘‘ Northern Light” can do nothing in crossing at the Capes. The Cape George route is not practicable on acount of pre- vailing contrary winds. More benefit will be derived from this agitation if we agree to leave the question to the judgment of experienced men.

Mr. McFapyen said we had better get the boats first, and select the points after- wards. The shortest and best route is between Murray Harbor and-Cape George. Murray Harbor is open all the year round, but has the disadvantage of a sand-bar. We should have two steamers of twice the size and power of the ‘‘ Northern Light.” Neither Pictou nor Georgetown are proper points. Inthe very heart of winter, the proper route is between Cape George and Souris.

Mr. McKay said it is the duty of this Committee to press upon the Government the necessity of taking the strongest means! of enforcing upon the Dominion Govern-| ment the fulfilment of the Terms of Union. | The Dominion Government have not exert- | ed themeelves to cariy out the conditions of the compact. We should strengthen the efforts of our Government, and be content| with nothing less than a full and complete fulfilment of the terms. He did not ap- prove of recommending ascheme. If we) do so and it fail the Dominion Govern-' ment will tarn round and say it was our plan.

Mr. Hooper said the Government should be supported in endeavoring to obtain the fulfilment of the Union. He

First of all, because we possessed no Crown Lands, s« ecause,on account of our isolated position, se were not able to par- ticipate in the great Public Works of the Dominicn. To compensate for the former, we were given $800,000, and on account of the latter, we received thé guarantee of continuous communication. These were the chief means of inducing the Island to enter Confederation. We surrendered cer- tain rights at the time, and we should de

mand that the Dominion fulfil their stipu

lations. We should not dictate the route. When they say we have entered into a con- tract which we cannot fulfil, then is our time to treat with them. The ‘‘ Northern Light” has failed to fiulfil the Terms of Union, after the lapse of ten years, we are #8 far from havivg the terms fulfilled as we were in 1873. Each successive Administra- tion has failed, it is now time that our peo- ple took decided action, and as a united | body demand the fulfilment of the terms.

McLean said a Board of! ly urge.”

Mr. SULLIVAN said that Mr. Sinclair had , been amember of the House of Commens for five years, and what steps had he taken upon thie question? The present Govern- ment have constantly been urging the mat ter upon the attention of the Dominion Government. The Minute of Council of 3lst January last, fully and completely ex- hausts the subject. The main resolution should be passed as it is true in every par- ticular. Any member voting against -it must say that he disapproves of the action of the Government, in pressing the matter upon the Dominion.

Mx. Sincrarr asked what was the Gov- ernment doing betwecn 188l and 1883. They were sleeping upon their rights. If they support the question, it will justify the Government in their delay.

Mr. SuLsivan said that in 1582 there was correspondence with the Dominien Govern- ment upon the subject, wiich was sub- mitted last session. For what purpose do we elect members for the Dominion Parlia- ment? Is it not tosee, among other things, that the Terms of Confederation are carried out. During the five years of Mr, Sinclair's term at Ottawa, he never gave a vote in the interest of the Province even by accident. The correspondence shows that the Lxval Government have taken a deep interest in the question, and have continnally impressed its importance upon the Dominion.

Mr. Sinciarr replied that he had brought this matter before the House of Commons mere than once.

Mr. Bentvey said that i} wes nct cur duty to point out any particular way in which to provide continuous communication, but to insist that the terms be fulfilled. British Columbia had insisted upon the terms being carried out, and had received something handsome in lieu. If the Dominion make usa good offer, we should accept it.

Mr. Grits said if we are aware of any reasonable way in which continuous com- munication can be maintained, we should inform the Dominion Guvernment, it would not damage our case. British Columbia pointed out the compensation which she desired. The Capes route cannot be utilized in sumer for transport of freight. The distance from Cape Tormentine to Moncton is more than from Summerside It can only be utilized for mails and pas- sengers, and it would be greatly improved by the construction of sheds for the boais, and waiting reoms for passengers. There should be three classes of boats, for mails, passengers and freight. A tunnel! is prac- ticable; still the object for its construction is not sufficiently important to expect it within our time. We need not expect it for our trade.

The amendment was put and lost on division.

Mr. Beer cffered an amendment, to the effect that the Legislature should petition Her Majesty the Queen upon the question.

Mr. SpPeaKeER declined to receive the amendment, the netice required by the rules of the House noi having been given.

Mr. Berr moved an amendment to the effuct that, in consequencee of the Domin- ion Government failing to fulfil the Terms of Union, the compact of Confederation had been broken He said, if the Dominion Government bad paid any attention to the frequent vemonstrances sent them, he would not have taken this action. Our interests were being trifled with,

Mr. Svuiiivan said that the Dominion Government may have failed in carrying out the Terma of Union; but they have not broken the contract. It required some time for taem to ascertain where the ferry can be maintained. We cannot agree our- selves.asto the proper route; how, then, can we expect the Dominion Government, without the intimate knowledge which we possess, at a moment's notice, to settle the matter.

Mr. Faxqunarson asked, if the Dominion Government have not broken the terms, how can the Government apply for compen- saticn.

Mr. Suttivan—There can be a non-ful- filment of the terms and yet not a breach of them. That portion of the terms relat- ing to continues communication has not been carried vat, and we are entitled to compensation for their non-fulfiiment. To
