ON THE ADDRESS.

Mr. Bell, as Usual, Spoke too Long,

SIR. CHARLES TUPPFR MAKES A GRAND SPEECH

Showing that the Country’s Prosperty

is due to Conservatives.

ee

[SreciaL To Toe Examiner.]

| Orrawa, March 21.—The debate on the

address was commenced yesterday by Mr. J. H. Beil, the newly elected member for East Prince, P. E. Island.

He is # very deliberate speaker, aud | had some good material, but he made the ' mistake of speaking too long.

He dwelt at considerable length on the proeperity of the country,claiming that it was twenty times as great as duriog the Coneervative reign.

Sir. Charles Tupper on rising was greet~ ed with loud Conservative applause.

Afier complimenting tLe mover and sec~ onder on their maiden efforts, he accorded hearty cergratulations to the country on the prosperity it enjeyed. It was, he said, a cardinal principle with the Coneervatives to recognise the prosperity of the country, but he believed he would be able to show that it was due more to Conservative pol- icy than tothe Liberal party. The high position that the couatry now enjoyed was due to nothing that has been done by the Government.

The policy of Cacada today is the policy of the great Liberal Conserva- tive party that bas made Canada what it is.

“IT challenge the Government,” declared Sir. Charles, “to put its finger upon one single act it has done that has contributed to the pragrese of the country.”

The National Policy bad done so much for Caneda as tomase the Government quail before they dared attempt to lay an unholy band upon it.

They know that the Conservative’s pol had so commended iteelf to the people that they dare not touch it.

“The Government of today” he contin~ the Conservative party

ued “represented and priociples.”

Sir Charles again challenged the Gov- ernment to show one single principle they bad avowed before the election that taey had not since trampled under foot.

Topper made powerful arraignment of the Government’s administration,

Wasbiogton negotiations, the Fast Line, the Prohibition Plebiscite, the Yukon and Preferential Trade.

In the Senate, Bowell characterized the proposed redistribution as unjustifiable, and unconstitutional by law.

The government would have to bring down such a measure two years hence; but there was no call for it now.

Tupper will ask for copies of the com- munications received from Chamberlain appreving of Lord Aberdeen’s attitude re~ by the Conservatives before they went out cf

garding the appointments ‘made

otilce,

The Dom‘nion alliance will thresh the | prohibition issue here on Wednesday. | A private steam yacht is to be built for | the use of the Ministers.

Casgrain will ask if there has been any correspondenee siuce last seesion with the Pope or any member of the Sacred College in reference te the Manitoba school ques- tion, and whether the Roman Catholic clergy in Manitoba has accepted the

Laurier-Greenway school settlement.

ING COMMUNICATION.

,What the Islanders Have to Say About the Disaster.

a ee

Writing from London, vide? Cate of March 5, Mr. 8. A. Mclectl, of the firm of Moore & McLeod ; says:

Doubtiese, you will hive heard, by this time, of the unfortunate accident with which we met. Though perhaps hardly necessary, | will attempt to give you some particulara. Weleft St. John Monday evening Feb. 20th, reached Hi. lifax at ncon on Sunday and left there the follow- ingmorning. We met witk very fair weather up to Teesday,Feb. 28th when as duringg the evenin we neared the Irish coast, a very thick fog came an.

The captain was evidently a little atraid of the situation and slowed down until dark when he honed to make Tiree Island light. Not seeing it he changed hie course. On retiring at 12 SO not liking the appearance of things, I did something [ never bad done before left on my underclothing and put my clothes at the bead of the bunk. At 6 30 a.m. we heard a bump or rather three, and I was out of bed in quick time, got on ‘my clothes caught up overcoat and hat, ;and ran upondeck. Oo looking over the

side | saw that we were well on the rock, }and also noticed that the water was cover , ed with grain telling the story of a hole in the bottom. “»Then the boats were made ready for jdonchieg, and quite a job it was. The blocks were all rasty and twisted every which way. Whes the lifeboats were ready we began the lowering of the women and children, and that also was no easy work with seas coming clean over the ehip. It seemed pretty hard to see them elung over the side, at the end of a rope—but it bad to be done. We six decided to stick together, and left in the third boat. The lighthouse was plainly in view, and 80 we made for that,

We struck at 6.30a.m., and after a rough hard row of about three miles we reached Skereyvore at 1130. There we found the good Scotenmne who helped a8 to iand and did a)l in their pewer to make us comfortable.

It is extremely difficult to make a iand- ing there, as you may guess whenlI say- that from December 28tn, 1898, to January 30:h, 1899, it wasut no time possible to to land. Indeed 13 weeks have beea known to elapse without @ landiog. We went up tothe lighthouse and got some good hot coffee while we awaited the other boats. They were, however, picked up by asmall steamer, anda rather good thing, too, a8 it was mighty close quarters in the lighthouse.

In fact we had to sit up all night in the kitchen. At daylight the rock was eover-~ ed with wreckage, and all we could see of the Labrador was two masts. As the relief boat didn’t show up, we had to put in another night at the lighthouse, but this time we made beds in the kitchen and went to sleep without rocking.

At 3 o’clock next afternoon we left avd scon landed safely at Uban.

We are now of course, ia London, all is the best of health and spirits.

We lost everything except what we stood in and in some cases that wasn’t much.

Will write again in a few days.

The foliowing letter sent to Tue Ex- AMINER by the Island Merehcnts came to hand too late for insertion yesterday :— Mr. Epiror,—

DEAR Sirn,—Having reached terra firma once more, we thought you would like to have an account of our tbrilling experience and adventure, and we wili thank you to publish same :—

We lefi St. Jobn for Halifax, Sunday Febraary 19th at 3 o'clock, p. m., and had a splendid run across the Bay of Fundy arriving in Halifax Monday at noon. After takingin a considerable amount of cargo and mails. we left for Liverpool at 3 a. m. Tuesday morning.

We had a beautiful passage across the Ailantic,—a reguiar summer cross- ing. No heavy seas, prevailing winds S. W. all the way—two or three days cloudy with no sun, so that we had dead reckoning on those days. Our average run was 310 milesaday. The boys all erjoyed them:elves immensely, every- one being in the best of bealth.

Ou Tuesday, 28th February, we got the sup about 10.30 a. m. and our bear-

MR 8. A, M’LEOD’S INTEREST- |

Lonpox, March 17.—At the chamber of commerce banquet, Lord Charles Beresford, who replied to the toast to the ravy, declined to be drawn into a discus

eion of the Chinese situation. He con

cluded his speech, saying: “The company is waiting to bear a distinguished guest, « pew ambassador of the United Statee, whom every man of the foreign country and this country is d«lighted to see. Bat I cannot be seated without saying that J took every opportunity to see the Meet of Awerica in both the Pacifig aed Atlantic.

I saw a very excellent fleet, not only in the way the ships are by:}t, but in respect to general organization end preparedness, I need not exig| jie officers andmeo. They ar: Of {h® eam* blood ag ourselves and have proved what they could do when called upon. I hope the time will very

sbortly come when there will be euch an Uicereiauc:ng between the to countries that if anythingoccura C'Sagreeable to us or affecting eur honor or satety, those two fleeta will be together, That will make for peace.”

Montreal Gazette: An advance in the price of coal oil (kerosene) of from ove to three cents, is being discussed in the Ontario press. Cheav coal oil was one of the things the Liberal Government was to give the country; but the necessity, like many Others, is actually dearer now than it was before the L urier tariff liberated” trade. The coal oil icem was one of many which the Liberal Governmeot did not understand the loading of,

Mail and Ewpire: We never hear from Sir Richard Cartwright now s-days. The old speeches about the billions of dollars that the manufacturers have etolen from the consumers, and about the “peetiferous rascalities” of swindling tariff duties, are relegated to obscurity, while Mr. Fielding is quietly gathering in some two millions more # year in taxes than Mr, Foster co'« lected during the period of the pestiferous sysiem.

_—_o.

—According to the Lambton deputa- tion that has lately waited upon the Gov- ernment, it wi!l be impossible to remove the duty on fuel oil without doing injury {0 our own people, who own the oi! wells. The Mail and Empire says that thie argu- ment applies also to illuminating oil. Mr. Fielding hae got himeelf into s queer tangle. Hewas warned by Mr. Lister that if be should concede the tank steamer privilege tothe Standard Oil Company that monopoly would soon dominate the oil business avd do asit might please. In spite of Mr. Lister’s warning, he legisisted in the interests of the company. Haviog ceded the country to the monopoly thus raising prices in the attempt to lower them, the finds that he cannot mitigate thie monopoly without destroving the Canadian oi] producer from whom tbe S:aodard people get the crude product for their Canadian reficeries. Another curi- ous feature of the situation is that if Mr. Fielding should try to escape from the wonopoly by slaughtering the Canadian producers, the monopoly wil not be hurt at all; it will simply import either its
