The Delegates Complimented On all Sides,

(Summary report of last night's Debate in House of Assembly.)

Mr. Stnccare resumed the debate on the delegation correspondence. He said the House could not intelligently discuns the question without knowing what repiy the Dominion Government would make to Earl Granville’s despatch. In his opinion, the Dominioa Governmant had not treated our Local Government as they should have done. in sending a deapstch accompanying the memorial without acquainting them of the fact. The delegates acquitted them- selves very well and put forth their argu- ments in a very forcible manner. Sir Caarles Tupper tried to belittle our de- mands and endeavored to show that. the Dominion Government had done their duty and had gone as far as reasonable parsons could expect, and that wea were not sufforing any disadvantages whatever. He was very glad that the delega‘ion had clearly exposed the fallacy that this Peovince receives more than it pays into the revenue. The Pro- vince will gain by their efforts in that direction. But what we have to do in this hold the Dominion Government to the fulfilment of the Terms, It matters net which Party is in power in Canada, he believed our grievancas would sooner or remedied, Asto the proposed sab way, there is nothing like it in the-world, and it is vain to think that the Dominion Government will ever begin it themselves He hoped the new corporation would uuder- take the work, thouzh he had little faith that they would do aso.

Hon. Mr. McLeop thought the resola- tion very clearly and ingeniously drawn up In case the Dominion Government find it imapossible to have continuous steam com- munication by navigation, it ig their duty to find some other mode of communication; andif they find this impossible, it is our daty to press for indemnity for failure in the fatare as well as in the past. The reso- lution stated this plainly. Asto the reply which the Dominion Government will give to Earl Granville’s despateh, he did not think it matters much. We should’ not wait for that reply, bat continue the agita- tion until the contract is fulfilled. Great credit is due Senator Howlan for his efforts in connection with the Subway and every assistance should be rendered him. The delegates certainly deserved great credit for the labor they performed in Lon don in behalf of this Province; and it was pleasing to have this admitted frankly by the Opposition. In his opinion the des- patch of Lord Granville was highly favor- able to this Provinca ; and we are now ina better position to press our claim than ever before. Our case is paralle! with that of British Columbia. He hoped the result woald be equally satisfactory.

Mr. J. R. McLean did not agree that it would be right for the Province to accept & money compensation. We should use every means in ovr power to have the Terms carried out.

Me. Hottanp referred to, the fact that the present Government had given the branch railway to Cape Traverse, and ateongly advocated the construction of the Subway. Hs complimented tho delegates for obtaining the offer of the friendly offices of Earl Granville, and he hoped that the fruits of the delegation would be seen in the near future. Boafore five years roll away we shall have the iron horse running under the Strait; and when he went to Cape Traverse to visit his constituents, and stood upon the bank, he weuld regard with delight the iron band uniting the Provinces, and could bid defiance to the icsbergs, for if he could not go over them he could go under them

Mr. Hoover complimented ths dele- gation and urged that party lines should ba obliterated agfar as this great question is concerned. Tha subway scems to be a great undertaking, but modern science has accomplished s> much, that he would be surprised to ase it carried ont.

Dr. GiLuis reviewed and defended the action of the Government with, respect to the delegation; and thought it fortunate that the delogates had gone Home after the accession to power of tha present Imperial Government. It was ridiculous to imagine, as some persons did, that the delogaticn eould bring the tunnel and compensation for non-fulfillment of the Terms home with them. Ha thought the delegation had enlisted the sympathy of the British Government, and the British Gov- ernment would, no doubt, use their inflaence with the Dominion Gov- ernment tosee that justiog was done to this Province.

Mr. Riomarps thought the delegation had resulted in nothing but a knowledge of the fact that it was useless to go to the Imperial Government for redreas of our grievance. If we go there again, it will be only to make a demand for separation. Hs questioned the practicability of the proposed Subway, end hoped the matter would be settled by a board of competent engineers.

Hon. Mr. ARsEeNAULT was happy to see that all were of one mind on this question. He thought the delegates had done their duty faithfully and well. He discussed che Subway question, and said thatif the Sub: way could not be cons ted, a tunnel could. As to sacession, hé-did not think it would be permitted, He hoped that before ve years were pissed the question would

iad r

be satisfactorily solved.

Mr. McKay, remarked that it was pleasing to note the cordial tympathy given the Government

by the Opposition, It was a subject of

the greatest importance and one upon which Me poopie are, to a large extent united,but

_aaqententiocennegeeeninne

stead, the press referred to had gone out of its way to say that the Government could not obtain the rights for which we are pressing, and endeavored to impress upon the Dominion Government and politicians that the people here have no confidence in the present agitation. This is not as it should be. We want all to be uaited ia order to gain our object. One of the representatives for Queen’s, in the Dominion House, said in his place in the House a few days ago, that the delegation to England would weakei our cause, and that nothing would ge gained thereby. Thirteen years ago, when we entered Con- federation, many of the people were strongly opposed to it. ‘The parliamentarians of that day felt the importance of thia opposi- tion. The terms upon which we entered the Union, it was contended, should be exceptional, owing to our isolated position, and the very strong contract relating to continuous communication with the Main- land was inserted. If the contract had been carried out, instead of being situated as we are at present, we would have manufactures and enterprises in our midst, which would give an impetus to trade and add greatly to the progress of the pseple. He traced the action taken in the matter by the different Governments, and contended that while neither party in the Dominion Government had carried out the terms, the present Government had shown a greater disposition to do so than the previous one, and instanced the im- provement at the Capes in proof of his assertion. He thought great good would result from the delegation to Kngland, as all the arguments against it had been met and overthrown by the delegates much bet- ter than could possibly be done by corres- pondence. The delegates showed clearly the misleading nature of the figures sub- mitted to. Bati Granville by the Dominion representatives, and fully exolained the great necessity that existed for the terms of Union being carried out. They explained that the Island’s portion of the contract had been faithful'y carried out, and it now re- mained for the Dominion to carry out theirs or refuad us the money taken from us, a3 a recompense for their failure s0 to do. Party principles should be dropped, and a persistent demand made for our rights, which, he theaght, in the end would be granted. All agree that the action of the Local Government, in bringing the matter before the Imperial Government, was very judicious. If the Dominion can- not carry out the terms under which we entered Confederation, then we will insist upon going back to our former positien, and carry out the project as best we can ourselves.

Mr. Beer thonght the question one of great importance, and regretted that the Government had not time to furnish mem- bers of the House with printed copies o the correspondence. He censured the seconder of the resolution (Mr. Bentley) for his remarks concerning the Davies Gov- ernment, and contended that those members ofthe present Government who had been in the House since Confederation were re- sponsible for sleeping on our rights, and not the Davies Government. He said that whatever had been done to improve the winter crossing had been done by the Mac kenzie Government, and referred to the putting on of the Northern Light. He wanted to know what right we had to ex- pect that the present Dominion Govern- ment intended carrying out the Terms of Union, and what the Government had ever done to warrant any such expectation. He agreed with Hon. Mr. Prowse that separ- ation was the only course, if the terms were not carried out. The delegates pre- sented our case in a strong manuer, but he did not approve of the opposition given them by Sir Charles Tupper, who, he thought, had appeared in a_ false position. He could not see what comfort could be drawn from Earl Gran- ville’s despatch. So far nothing had been promised the Island, and he could not see what good results would follow the dele- gation. It is held that Canada should carry out the Terms without having the method pointed out to them, and he thought the delegates went‘out of their way in recommending the Subway.. He was glad the delegation referred to the amounts paid into the Dominion Treasury by the Island. If the present trade policy presses hard on the Island while it adds to the wealth of the other Provinces, he thought the Island should be recouped therefor as well as for non-fulfilment of the Terms of Union. When the Dominion Government declare it impossible to carry out the Terms, then it will be time enough to pass a reso- lution like the one now before this House, asking for a money compensation. He moved in amendment that the last para- graph be struck out and the following enb- stituted ;—

Resolved, That it is the opinion of this House that the Government of this Province should insist upon the Terms of Confederation in the; particu- lar referred to being carried out by the Dominion, and that the payment by Canada of compensa- tion for the loss sustained by the Island. owing to the past default of the Dominion ia regard to the

service, be strenuously pressed upon the Federal Government,

Hon. Mr. Fercuson complimented the members on both sides of the House on the manner in which they had diacusased the subject. His hon. colleague (Mr. Beer) was much exercised over that portion of the resolution relating to the terms of Union, and thought they were being de- viated from. The resolution does not de- viate one iota from the terms,. but clearly says that should the Government fail to carry out its part of the contract we will hold them to. a money equivalent. The matter of a money eyuivalent, however, could not be considered withont being first submitted to the Legislature, His col- league also took exception to the statement made by the seconder of the resolution, that the present Local Government had done all that was done in the matter. He (Mr. F.) repeated the statement, and contended that the present Government ig entitled to the credit of bringing the matter to where it now is. When the matter was first brought upit met with the approval of the members of both sides of the House, but the Opposition , press did not see fit to agree with those whom it supported. This was to be regretted as the matter was of great general importance and one upon which the press and. people should be united. He regretted the course taken by Mr. Davies who said in his place in Parliament a few days ago that it was wrong to go to the Im- petial Government about the matter. His action was unkind to his own partisans here, and unjust to the Province, but per- fectlyjin keeping with the course pursued by him on other occasions when the interests of the Island were at stake. The organ of the Opposition has circulated misstatements

a daw, _ subject, “OF the gates reply to the report of the sut mittee of the Privy Oouncil, noth: yond a garbled quotation has been furn.

ed by the Patriot. {While he did not expect either sympathy or compliment from that organ, he certainly thought it should not publish garbled quotations. Events have transpired which show that the delegates took the proper course in the matter. Much has been said coricerning the composition of the delega- tion, but in his opinion the fact of the dele- gation being from a Government friendly to the Dominion Government had &salu- tary effect upon the Home Government; for that fact showed at once that the object of the delegation was not a i one. While in Ottawa, en route to England, the delegates were invited to lay their views on the subject before the Government. They accepted the invitation, and a most interesting interview took place. The dele- gates have every reason to be satisfied with their reception in London. Earl Granville, who takes great pains to have all matters brought before him carefully considered, received the delegates kindly, and they were agreeably surprised at the time and care ho bestowed upon the consideration of the qwtestion. A great advantage has been gained as a résult of the stand taken in this matter by the present Government. By the action of the Legislature of this Pro- vince, the Dominion Government has been forced to appear at the bar of the Colonial Office and explain their case, which was a great point gained, as their arguments could be refuted. The reply of the Domin- ion Government to British Columbia was just as strong as that to the Island, and was practically the same. Here are a few quotations :—

“‘It is impossible to conceive how such terms could even have been proposed, as it was quite clear to every person that they were incapable of fulfilment, especially as the British Columbia Legislature never asked such extravagant terms,”

* These expressions show very clearly that the terms agreed to were directory rather than man- datory, and were to be interpreted by circum- stances, the essence of the engagement being such diligence as was consistent with moderate expenditure and no increase in the then rate of taxation.”

“The public feeling of the whole Dominion has been expressed so strongly against the fatal ex-

‘nditure involved in the terms agreed to a7 the ate Government, that no Government could live that would attempt or rather pretend to attempt their literal fulfilment.”

“3. I have no doubt, however, it will be felt throughout the country that the only mode b which the Dominion could be satisfactorily extri- cated from the false position in which she was placed f her treaty obligations to fulfil engage- ments which were physically impossible of execu- tion, was by a large and generous interpretation of the consequent claims against her.”

“The lot of British Columbia is cast in with the other North American Provinces, and it becomes the duty of all the confederated Provinces to con- sider to some extent the general welfare. It is especially the duty of the smaller Provinces to- defer somewhat to the opinions of the old and populous Provinces from which the revenue for the building of ali such works is derived.” |

“Mr. Walkem in his conversations admits frankly that the literal fulfillment ef tbe Terms for the completion of the tine on a certain day in 1881 cannot be expected. The only questions, therefore, that can now arise are (1) whether due diligence, and expedition have been exerted by the Dominion Government in the prosecution of the works, and (2) whether the offers of compen- sation for the alleged non-fnifillment of the terms were just and fair,

“It must be remembered that British Columbia earnestly petitioned the Dominion Government to modify the Terms of Union in its own favor in relation to the construction of the Graving Dock, The Dominion Government co y ted to provide the money for the construction of the work, instead of abiding by the agreement to guarantee merely the Provincial Bonds for ten years, as provided by the Terms of Union. ‘This at once shows the liberality of the Dominion Go?- ernment, and their willingness to consider and meet exceptional circumstances wherever they existed, And this manifestation of liberality on the part of the Government, they conceive should have been reciprocated in other matters by the Provincial Government.”

Yet in spite of these strong representa- tives of the Dominion Government, | British Columbia gained her case. While in England the delegates felt to the full the grave responsibility which rested upon them, and they labored conscientiously and hard to place the case before the Secretary of State for the Colonies in its proper light. They were uninfluenced by the fact that they were in sympathy with the general policy of the Dominion Government. But the immense advantage of being free agents in the matter was apparent; and it might be remavked that if Mr. Davies had not been the paid retainer of the Dominion Government when he was Premier of this Province, the result of the fisherycommission might have affected the Island very much more beneficially than it did. As tothe conduct of Sir Charles Tupper with respect to the delegation, it seemed to him a happy circumstance that he was there. Sir Charles treated the delegation with the utmost courtesy, and by his presence did away with the necessity for delays, which would otherwise have undoubtedly happened. Respecting Earl Granville’s despatch, Mr. Ferguson said that the more he considered it the better satisfied he was with it. It could hardly, he thought, have been more strongly worded. Mr. Ferguson here con- trasted Earl Granville’s language with that of Earl Carnarvon, respecting the claim of British Columbia, Earl Granville says:—

As I stated in the earlier part of this despatch, although Her Majesty*s Government is unable to take the question out of the hands of the Dominion Government, and although I have not seen more thana prima faice operee as to the feasibility,at a moderate cost, ofthe proposal for its solution,I hope that it will be found to ad- mit of asatisfactory settlement, On thejone hand the expectations of the Province in regard to the establishment of a constant and eficient communication with the Mainland have not been Sullfiled, but, on the other hand, the Dominion Government has shown that it has made considerable efforts to improve the communica- tion, in the face of scrious oe difficulties during the winter season. There seems to be reason for doubting whether any really satisfac- tory communication by steamship can be regular- ly maintained all the year round, which makes it all the more important that the proposed “metalic eene should receive a full and, if feasible, favorable consideration on this part of the Government of the Dominion. .

The establishment of constant and speedy com- munication by rail would be a _— oe both to the Province and to the Dominion, I should suppOse that the development of the traffic on the Island railroads and of the capa- bilities of the Province generally, would produce a large direct and indirect retura on the expendi-

ture.

It would reflect great credit_on the Dominion Government, if, after connecting British Colum- bia with the eastern Provinces by the Canadian Pacific Rai'way, it now shouid be able to com plete its system of railway communication by an extension to Prince Edward Island,

Respecting the case of British Columbia, Earl Carnarvon states :

“10. Strong as are doubtless the objections urged by Mr. Walkem to the proposals which I understand Mr. Edgar to have made on behalf of your Ministers, and important as the subject matter of controversy, I, as at present advised, can see no reason why the views of both parties should not be reconciled to their satisfaction and with justice to all interests concerned,

“IL On the other hand DP Cannot entertain the least doubt of the sincere intention of the Cana- dian Government and Parliament to adhere as closely as possible to the pledges given to British Columbia at the time of the Union; to do that which is just and liberal towards*the Provinée, and in fact to maintain the good faith of the Do- minion in the spirit if not in the letter of the original agreement under circumstances which I admit to be of no ordi difficulty.

Lir. FaRQUHARSON seconded the amend- mént submitted by the hon. member for Fort Augustus. He had not been favorable to a delegation, and did not think that the delegation was properly appointed, The delegates should have been named by the Lagislature, and should have consisted of the Leader of the Government and the Leader of the Opposition. He ridiculed the idea of a Subway, and thought it best to put on two steam boats.

The debate was continued by Hon. Mr. Prowse, Mr. Hooper, Mr. Yeo, Mr. Farqu- harson and Mr. Perry, and the House divided on Mr. Beers’ amendment as fol- lows ;

Yeas—Messrs. Yeo, Perry, Beer, Rich- ards, Hooper, Farquharson, D. C. Martin, J. R. McLean, and Matheson, 9.

Nays—Hon. Messrs. Sullivan, Ferguson, McLeod, Arsenault, Campbell, Lefurgey, Prowse, Gordon, Messrs. McKay, Bentley, Holland, A. Martin, McDougall, Gillis, Blake and John McLean, 16.

The resolution then passed without divi sion.

It would thus be seen that the language of Earl Granville in our case was very similar to that of Earl Carnarvon in British Columbia's case. Indeed it was rather stronger, if anvthing, in the latter than in the former. Yet the outcome of the des- patch of Earl Carnarvon, end the good offices of that nobleman, was the Carnarvon Terms, and eventualiy the Canadian Pacific Railway. Might we not hope that an equally satisfactory result would follow the des- patch, and the *‘ friendly offices of Earl Granville? Mr, Ferguson deprecated very strongly the idea of secession; and said that under our noble system of Government there is a constitufional remedy for every grievance. For his part, he was not pre- pared to talk separation at all. occupy a vantage grofind that we never held before. The despatch of Earl Gran- ville will be to the Dominion Government a full aud complete justification for any- thing they may do in fulfilment of the con- tract with Prince Edward Island ; and we on our part will feel our own conclusions strengthened by the independent judgment of so eminent a statesman as Earl Gran ville.

LETTERS Go THE EDITOR,

Mr. Farquharson’s Charges.

Sir,—In your paper of yesterday, Mr. Wm. Campbell, Commissioner of Public Works, has published a letter of his to Mr. John Sinnott, and Mr. Sinnott’s reply. In these letters my name appears.

Mr. Campbell’s letter contains certain statements which, he says, I used at Milton, purporting to be a conversation between Mr, Simmott.and myself, In this statement he uses words and sentences never uttered by me, and which he puts in for the pur- pose of getting the denial in Mr. Sinnott’s answer.

At Milton, a few weeks ago, I made a statement and repeated it in my place in Parliament this session, in the presence of Mr. Campbell, viz.: ‘* Mr. Sinnott told me that the contract on North River Bridge was net being done according to plan and. ape- cification; that one-half the stone required was not used; that the contractor, Mr. P.' Doyle, refused to obey him as inspector, and that when he appealed to Mr. Campbell his answer was, ‘ It is all right, let him go on.’** Mr. Sinnott said 1 could give his name and make use of the statement in any way I pleased.

In speaking of this at Milton, I said it was a loss of at least $3,000 to the’country, and a gain of more than this amount to the contractor. ‘i

Perhaps Mr. C wmpbell will have the har- dihood tosay, over his own signature, that this eontract-on the North River Bridge was done according to the plan and specifi- cation. When he does, I will promise him some additional evidence on the subject.

When I made my statements in the House afew days ago, Mr. Campbell! appeared excited and said he would have Mr. Sinnott at the Bar of the House. I dared him to do so. Since then Mr. Sinnott has, [| under- stand, been in Charlottetown, and Mr. Campbell has, no doubt, discovered that the further he could keep Mr. Sinnott from the Bar the better, hence his reason for swallowing his threat.

If this had been the only suspicious transaction of Mr. Campbell, I would not have said so much [ consider it my duty as a representative of the 2nd District in this County to expose any wroag doing on the part of our public officials, and Mr. Campbell with ali his biuster will not deter me from doing what I consider my duty to the people.

Ordered to Mare Island.

(From the Oakland, (Cal.) Daily Evening Tribune. )

Lieutenant Waldemar LD. Rose, of the United States Navy, a brother of Mrs. Wm. Dingee, has just been ordered to Mare Island. He is accompanied by his young and accomplished wife to whom he was married in Bosten on November 9th. She was Miss Katherine Emily Hensley, the youngest daughter of Mr. Justica Joseph Hensley, of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island, and grand-daughter of the late Sir Robert Hodgson, who was for eight years Lieutenant-Gorernor of P. E. fcland. Lieutenant Rose being an Ameri- can naval officer, could not not bs married out of his country, and consequently the

‘marriage took place in Boston by Reavy.

George S. Converse, Rector of St. John’s Churgh, Tremont Street, assisted by Rev. W. B. King, late of St. Peter’s Church, Charlottetown, Lieutenant Rose and his charming wife willbe a valuable acquisition to the, society circles of this coast, and their connections in Oakland will bring them in constant contact with the social

elements of this city, by whom they will be Toomed.
