(SUMMARY REPORT.)
A large body of electors assembled in| Strong’s Warehouse, Cape Traverae, on Tuesaday afternoon. Among those present! were Hon. Senator Howlan, Frederick Brecken, M.P ,L H. Davies, M P., Hon. W. Campbell, Geo W. Bentley, M.P.P., A. C. Holland, M.P.P., J. T. Je: kins, M.D, Isaac Clark, John VD. Muttart, Finlay Me. | Fadven, Arthor Irving, Philip Irving, D. S. Wright, Isaac Wright, Edward Dawson, Bradford Howatt, Major Clarke, John Bel, Cerneliungs Lowther, Isaac Schurmw, Stephen Black, Joha Webster, John W. Hughes, Esquires, the representative of Tue Examiner, and many others,—to the number of upward a hundred.
Davin MeFaxtane, Ese., oceupied the Chair, and Mr. 8. McRae was Secretary.
G, W. Bertier, Exq , M.P.P., was the | first speaker. Those who were present at | the time say that the speech was an excel- | lent one. |
James Yeo, Fsg., M. P , spoke in cen-| atire of the inaction of the Government | with respect to the constraction of the} railway, and other promised improvements. |
Hiaam Tarvemay, Esq , was addressing! the meeting when our reporter arrived. | He urged that our representatives should; be inatruc'ed not to vote for making the} Canals of Upper Canada free, unless aviple |
seommedation were afferded for crossing | between the Island and the Mainland; and stronuly protested agaipst the delay in earrying out the terms of Confederation regarding comuiuuication with the Main- land.
De. Jenxine said we should pot be con- tented with one or two meetings. We should. persist in agitating until ovr re quirements are satistied, Our agricultural products are increasing and improving, and we want to be able to Joad cars on the Is- land and send them through to the large cities of Canada aud the United States. From engviries he had instituted, he was assured that 4 steamer could be provided to carry cars across the straits, and that) @ third rai] conld be attached to our rail-| way, so that cars of the Intercolonial Rul way gauge could be taken ever it. With regard to the wharf at Cape Traverse, it should, im hig opinicn, a Dominion work. In other Provinces of the Dominion worka of this kind are under the charge of the General Government.
Pauir Isevinc, Esq, asked whether break waters were not, undoubtedly Do- minion works.
Dg. Jgyxivs—Yes, beyond a doubt ; and if this work is a breakwater the Do- midion Government must keep it up.
)0N. Sen~aton How an came forward iv response to acallfrom the meeting. He said Ke was proud to address so large a body of the yeomanry of the country. A ie no matter how strong and in-
ial he may be, neds to be backed up by the people in his efforts to obtain public improvements. It is useless to overivok the fact, that ‘here is a good deal of dissatie- faction throughout the Province, on account of tw delay experienced in carrying ont thé*terms of Confederation with respect to émpfeved communication with the Maia- fand: © He would take the bull by the horns. It ie stated that the Government do not iv- tend to build the C.pe Traverse Branch Railway, and that the grant made last session was only an election dodge. He believed, and he thought his belicf waa based on good yrouads, that it is the intention of the Govérnment to build this read. The appropriation for it has been made by Parliament. When it was made Sir Charles Tupper explained the matter as follows :-—
Ste Caakces Turpexr—One of the condi- tious of union with Prinee Kdward Island was an engagement on the part of the Dominion Goverrment to provide continuous steam comthunication between Prince Edwari Island and the Intercolonial Railway. To carry cut that engagement the Dominion Government had thesteamer ‘Northern Light’ construct- ed ; but that steamer, though eff-cting con- sidgvrable improvement in the existirg com- munseations, entirely failed in maint:ivirg : The late Goveru- 1 a survey to be made between the
ment
_Intereglonial Railway and Cape Torment ne,
on the one side, and Cape Traveree and the Islard Railway on the other. This survey was completed, and a report made by the able engine. appointed by the late G -vernment, recommending the best poiuts for railway con- nection. And we are new varrying out the policy contemplated by the late Government ordering this surveyto be made. This vote is for the purpose of ¢ nstructing eleven miles greeny, or Sporepponkn, from the Prince Edward Island Railway to Cape Traverse It is oot settled Whether it shall be the County Line or another point, the name of which escapes me, asthe best means of connecting the Island Railway with Cape Traverse and the constuction of such docks as are neces- at Cape Traverse for the purpose of mak- the communication ag perfect and as smal as possible, I may be asked why provision is made for cariying out this design nm Prince Edward and not on the mainlaod. | may say that it would have beorme the duty of the Government, and we would have been to bring down an estimate for the construction of thé Connecti n between the Tutercojonial Railway and Cape Tormentine, bat for the fact, that in the meantime that service hes been provided for by the Govern. ment of New Brunswick, who have renewed the charter of a private company who pro. pove to construct that-work with the aid of ® subsidy. UnJjer these circametences we = ~ we co ld not ask Perliament to pros vide for a service which was apparently pro- vided for by the Local eeamaunon vi

There can be no donbt that the Government have the interests of the Island at heart; and will do all they cai do to meet our reasonable requirements. now, according to the size and population of the Provinces, the best land accommodation in the world, so we must exert « ursel ves to obtain 4“ corresponding improvement in the facilities for transpor! by water. This is a matter of the first im- portance. The “ Northern Light” was designed for a certain purpose; for that purpose she was intelligently modelled; and she has done good work. But she cannot accomplish what we, in this Province, abso- lutely require. For the purpose of winter must leave her and resort to the Capes route. Dr. Jenkins suggests a third rail, and a ferry for cars, but he does not say how far the third ral is to

Senator Howrtan-——Well, we'll not go into the details of the matter; but it js evident that satisfaction the third
extend. That is a matter of
to give
The fact is we must be reasonable, and we must accommodate ourselves to circumstances. [If these conditions are observed, any Government which may be in power in Canada will carry out what we advise. We want a steamer to ply between Summerside and New Brunswick, between Charlottetown and Nova Scotia; and in accordance with the usage which has been adopted, all these steamers may, and ought to be subsidized by the Government. We have a Steam Navigation Company which has done good service; and it shonld be} preferred provided it will put the proper | boats on ; and the proper boats should be | put en even thongh the subsidy were in- creased to $40,000. Our exports have! quadrupled within the last thirty years, | our productions are constantly increasing, | and we require facilities to reach the foreign markets—and tu reach them quickly. We lose large sums of money every year because our potatoes cannot be got into the markets in the state they came from the hands of the farmers. Mr. Davirs—On account,of the daty, | tee,

Senator Howtan—Yes, the duty impos- ed by the Americans is also an obstacle we | have to contend with ; and it is pleasing to| there is now growing in the} United States a feeling in favor of the re- newal of reciprocity. The hard revengeful | feelings which induced the Americans to | abrogate the Treaty have subsided, and | there is a prospect of again having: a free | market for our potatoes and other produce. | On this account it is so much the more | desirable that we sheuld have ample| accommodations and quick dispatch. '
With reference to the complaints that have been made about the failure of the} Government to provide a row boat for crossing in connection with the ice boats, | Senator Howlan eaid he hed visited the | Deputy Inspector of Post Offices here. and | had been informed by him that at first | C.ptain Irving offered to provide this re- | quirement for $600. . The offer was after- | wards reduced tv $500. The Inspector | considered the amount too inuch, but was! willing to have given $200, and have it in-| cluded in this year’s contract.
Cart. Lrvinc—No, $80.
Senator Howtan said the Inspector had | shown him some correspondence with the Peatraster-General, from which it appeared that the Government were qtite willing | that both the row boats and the houses on | each side would be provided if the charge | therefor were not exorbitant.
Puuitips Invine, Esq, asked whether or not the contract for the branch railway on the other side, stipulated that it should extend extend no further than Bay Verte ?
Senator Hows an said the Branch re- ferred to was to be built to Cape Tor- mentine.
Freperick Breoxen, M. P., then re- spended to the cali of the meeting. He said that he felt that if there were one object for which he, as a representative of the people, had worked harder than another, it was to ob'ain the improved facilities for communication with the mainland required and bargaived for. He detailed the steps he and his colleagues in the representation of the Island had taken. They repeatedly bronght the matter to the n tice of the Hovse, and had many times discussed it withSir Charles Topper and other Min- | isters. The members for the Upper Pro. | | vinces were possessed of the idea that the (**Norchern Light” was supplying all our re- quirements and there was at Ottawa) no definite knowledge as to what our people wanted. Thera was no money in the Treasury. These and other obstacles had to be overcome. In the ses- sions Of 1880 and 1881, he had moved for papers relating to the matter; and last year a grant of $189,000 for the construc- tion of the Cape Traverse Branch Railway was made by Parliament. Parliament now stands committed to the work, and he had no dunbt whatever that it would be done. Why it was neticerried on last year he was not in @ position ro state, for owing to the peculiar circumstances in which he was placed, he had not been in correspond- ence with the Ministry. He discussed the question at length, referred to the various schemes proposed, and urged persistent reasonable and united effort.
Dr. Jenkins endorsed what Senator Howlan had said with respect to the will- ingness of the Government to afford the row-boat and the buildings required on each side on reasonable terms ; and stated that he himself had been assured by Sir Charles Tupper that the Oape Traverse Branch Ruiiway would be ready for traftic as soon as the Cape Tormentime Branch.
LH. Davies, M. P., said that, while party polities were to be excluded ina this matter, he wished to guard against the spread of false impressions and the accept- ance of piausible apologies. The terms must be carried out; and experience had shown that if they.are to be carried out, our protests against the inaction of the Goveroment must be made with no uncer- tain sound. A strong expression of public opinion is required, The apologists sny the Government 18 sincere; let us put their sin- cerity to the test. We ask no favor,—the Improvements required are ours by right,— and we onghi not to be mealy-mouthed in cemanding them. To say that the terms must be literally carried out would be un-

strued in a reasonable senset and our de- mands upon the Governnient shonld bo ‘easovable demands. The Government have been fast enough in the extension of
public works in other parts Canada, nds while our taxes have been ‘largely increased, it is but simple
justice, that public works should be built in this part of Canada. We have heard apologies enongh, and explanations mongh, and would now like to have more tangible evidence that the Government are sincere. The haggling of officials of the Government over a few dollars in payment f the men who cross between the Capes in winter, is disgraceful and contemptible. It was too late this year, we are told, to vrect the buildings required by these brave men. The same story will probably be repeated next year, and we shal! have to wait longer for the serew boats required at Charlottetown and Summerside, in the spring and Pi. We should be unanimous in our protest against this haggling and this dk lay.
Hon. Wrutsam Camepett discussed the question at length, and explained par uicularly the circumstances connected with Cape Traverse Breakwater.
Mr. James Yeo, M, P., further explanations.
J. W. Hoeues spoke briefly and warmly on the delay iu building the railway between Cape Traverse and County Line.
The following resolution then passed :—
Moved by J. W. Hughes, seconded by Donald Morrison.
Resolved. That in the opinion of this meet- ing, the delay in the building of Cape Traverse Branch Railway and the other public improve- ments necessary to give us proper communica- tion with the mainland, is unjust and indefen- sible ; and this meeting calis upon the Island Representatives unitedly to insist upon the ‘overnment at once carrying out their pledge in this respect.
Moved yby DS. Wright, Esq., seconded by Robert Wright, Esq. :—
Whereas, By the Treaty of Confederation, this Island was guaranteed efticient mail ser- vice and continuous steam communication with the mainland, summer and winter,
And Whereas, The Capes route has proved to be the onlv -—permanent and practical one,
Therefore Resolved, That im the opivion of this meeting, it is the duty of our Representa- tives at Ottawa to urge upon the Dominion Government the nece:sity of placing a small, but powerfal steamboat on the said route +¢ act in conjunction with the ice-boats now ia
made some
|use, that a regular daily mail can be effected
by the assistance of the said boat.
Moved.by Nelson Clarke, Esg., seconded by Stephen Black, Esq.:
Whereas, by the st-puiation of Treaty with the Dominion Government, the Railway system of P. E. Island was to be equal to that
i of the Dominion ;—
And Whereas, The New Brunswick Govern- ment has been larg-ly instrumental in placing the Cape Tormentive Railway under contract, which deman/|s a Branch Railway from Cape Traverse to the Main Line ;
And Whereas, A sum «f $189,000 was placed in the supplemectiry estimates for said raii- way by the Daminion Government at the close of last Session ;— Pa
Therefore Resolved, That, in the opluion of this meeting, Prince Fdward Island's repre- sev tatives at Oltawa should units and) per- sisteutiy demand that tenders be issued dur- ing the early part of next summer for the contruction of said Railway.
After voting thanks to the Chairman, and tothe public men who came long dis- tances tu be in attendance, the meeting adjourned,
