NOTES FROM OTTAWA

THE FACTS ADDUCED

Prove that Mercier and his Pals are Guilty,

[SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EXAMINER]

You have been fully informed by tele- graph of the proceedings of the Senate Commitiee in the matter of the Baie des Charleurs Railway. The revelations which are likely to be evolved will probally place the Tarte-McGreevy case completely in the shade. It is charged that stbsidies grauted by the Quebec and Dominion Governments to the Railway have been diverted from their proper use to political purposes, and to the enrichment of members of she Quebec ministry aad their friends, and it has been proved that no less than $100,000 passed into the of Mr. Ernest Pacaud (pronouuced Paw-co) editor of a grit paper called L’Electeur, which is the chief organ of Mr. Mercier, and further that Mr. Mercier and other grits profited thereby. The details are intricate, but boiled down they amount to this: The Baie des Chaleurs Railway Company was subsidized by both Dominion avd Quebec Governments. One C. N. Armstrong (who is no relative of Sir Hector Langevin’s, the grit press to the contrary, notwithstanding) was a contractor for the road aud had heavy claims against the com- pauy amounting to $286,000. The com- pany got into trouble with the Quebec Government and the latter would not pay the subsidies, and Armstrong could not get his money. A new syndicate was formed, in which Armstrong was interested, and he agreed to take $75,000 in full from the Quebec Government for his claim, but the Government acting through Pacaud made it $175,000, Armstrong agreeing with Pacaud to give him the additional $100,000, which he did and which the Bank officials prove was paid to Pacaud’s credit. Some delay took place in the negotiations; both Arm- strong and Pacaud were irritated at the delay, and one day Pacaud pulled out a memorandum saying to Armstrong ** Look what [ have to pay out of the $100,000,” Armstrong did not examine the memo.,

Paper Company. That this agreement does exist is a fact, but Mr. Lister's object is to connect Mr. Chapleau as a party to it, be- cause he happens to be a stockholder, and at the same time to have control of the Printing Bureau. Mr. Chapleau and the Government members of the committee re- sist Mr. Lister formulsting his charges be- fore them, as they submit the public ac- counts committee is not the proper body to deal with such charges, but the privileges and elections committee, and Mr. Chap!eau openly and detiantly challenges Mr. Lister to make his charges in the House where they can be investigated before the proper tr. buual. Mr. Lister and his friends will pot do that, but take up hours making speeches and boasting what they can do, yet they decline the invitation to proceed in the proper way. The Government have given these people so» much their own way iu making indiscriminate charges against cabinet ministers, which have invariably fizzled, that Messrs. Lister, Somerville, Mulock & Co. think that parliamentary forms and procedure no longer bind them, and they have only to speak and the Gov- ernment must stand aghast. In these in- vestigations the controlling hand of Sir John Macdonald has been sadly missed; but Sir John Thompson and Mr, Foster will be wiser another session. Mr. Lister’s charge is ridiculous—of over 11,000 reams of paper used in the Bureau during the last three years, only 264 have come from the New England Paper Company, and they were ordered without the knowledge or consent of Mr. Chapleau, who has persistently refused to deal with them, preferring Canadian firms. Had Mr Chapleau been a party to any corrupt bargain by which he or the paper in which he was interested, was to profit, he would have purchased more extensively trom the New England Paper Company. But we shall see if Mr, Lister will accept Mr. Chapleau’s in- vitation and prefer his charges in the House, lf be does not, thenthe country will know what to think of his brag and bluster. Here, I may say, that the agreement which Mr. Lister relies on to prove his charges was pro- duced in evidence in a lawsuit in Montreal, whereiu the New HKngland Paper Company were plaintiffs, and La Presse defendant, and that the legal firm, of which Mr, Chapleau is the chief, was the counsel for the Paper Com- pany, and it is for violation of this very agree- ment or contract that the Company brought action for damages.

In Committee of Supply last week upon the vote of $5,000 for removal of Summerside

but he saw it was 4 list of names with! various sums set opposite, amounting to! $58,000, and that Mr. Tarte’s name was on| the list. Armstrong, after pointedly re- fusing to give the Committee information, at last was forced to submit and told this damaging tale. The bank officers testified that the $100,000 was paid to Pacaud’s credit and disbursed by him _ by cheques. But Mr. Pacaud = scurries off to Europe, Mr. Garneau who was actings premier in Mr. Mercier’s absence, refused to appear, Mr. Lonergan, the president of the new syndicate, says he will come when it suits him, and meantime places himself out of reach in the United States, while Mr. Langelier, the counsel for the Quebec Government, protests against the interference of the Senate in toto, The whole affair looks very bad, and the action of Pacaud and the Quebec Govern- ment is in strong contrast with that of Sir Hector Langevin and Mr. McGreevy, who voluntarily appeared and told their story. Meantime there isa pretty row in the grit ranks. The Globe insists upon a full and complete investigation of the matter, and Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr. Milis, and other Ontario grits, back the Globe up, while the Quebec grits demand that their Ontario brethren stand by them—and if they sink, that they all go down together. Sir Richard is charged with inspiring the Globe articles, and relations between him and Mr. Laurier are very considerably strained. The giits were very ready to seize upon every move of Sir Hector and twist it into an admission of guilt; what have they to say of Pacaud’s flight and Mercier’s refusal to allow Mr. Garneau to appear? Pacaud’s flight was with the knowledge and consent of Mr. Laurier, whom he acquainted of his intention to leave for Europe, and Mr. Laurier gave his sanction to his going away. Two blacks do not make a white, but the course of the grits in this enquiry contrasts very unfavor- ably with that of the Government in the Tarte-McGreevy matter. Mercier and his ministry are,seriously implicated, and it looks just now as if the result will be any- thing but pleasant for the opposition—in- deed, a split is inevitable.

In view of what has taken place before the Tarte-McGreevy committee, I would ask now what about all the telegrams the Patriot published as to what Sir Hector and Mr. McGreevy were going to do? Among other pieces of intelligence it was stated that Mr. McGreevy was ill in (Juebec, that the last rites of the church were administered to hima—then he was going to acknowledge everything and make himself the scapegoat to save Sir Hector and the Government. of the kind? Then Sir Hector was report- ed illand unable toattend—then he wasgoing to make a clean breast of it and bring his colleagues down with him—then that he would put the whole blame on Perley. How many of these prophesies have been fulfilled ? in the presence of the Bay des Chaleurs scandal, which promises to rend the grit party in pieces, the Patriot has the assur-

railway station, Mr. Davies requested ex- planation. Mr, Bowell said that on account of the dangerous location and the impossibility to approach it without crossing several tracks, and the number of accidents that had been scarcely avoided, it was intended to purchase a piece of land alongside of Water Street, and to move the building to the new site, where it will be placed ona stone foundation, The building will be meved on the north side of the tracks.

The total revenue for July was $2,528,601, and the expenditure $2,345,027. The amount of inland revenue accrued was $586,539, as com- pared with $415,238 last July, the increase being in the item of spirits, The net debt on July 31 was $237,025,851.

The Canadian Gazette, of July 28, has the following to say about Canadian eggs in England :—

‘The trade in Canadian eggs ,is increasing in volume almost every week. In ten days recently upwards of 3,000,000 Canadian eggs of extraordinarily fine quality were landed at Liverpool alone. They are said to weigh trom 15 to 17 pounds per 120, while the best continental eggs weigh from 13 to 15 pounds only ; and are admittedly superior in class to the choicest Irish eggs—a fact evidenced by their price, which is already frum 8 to 10 cts. per 100 more thanis obtainable for the Irish product. Inno trade, probably, have the Canadians shown a greater aptitude and readiness to meet the needs of the British market. The packing is stated to be superior to that of and continental shipments, and the trade may now be said to be placed upon a permaneut footing. Indeed, the leading ex- porters and commission agents here say that, even were the McKinley tariff apsndoned to- morrow, the trade would not now be effected.
