DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, JULY 28 1898.

EXCESSIVE RATES

ON P. E.U. RAILWAY. Six.—I notice inthe prese that the

Charlottetown Board of Trade hae taken up the question of reduced fares on the P. E. Island Railway. The resolution passed by that body and the timely letier of Mr. A.C. McDonald, M. P., are to the point aad should have some weight. Both contain strong reasons forthe proposed change.

The cost of a road should certainly be- come @ factor in determining the rate for both freight and paseengers. So should the curvature.

The difference in cost of construction between thel. C. R. and the P. E. I. Raiiway, as quoted by Mr. McDonald from Mulhall, isin this connection worthy of note, So isthe contrast in the tabie of distances byrailand the common reads between Charlottetown and the principal villages a8 quoted by Mr. D.A. McKinnon, me P. 2.

In regard to the latter I may say that in looking up some matter bearing on thie question I found in a report of engineers sent by the Dominion Government to inepect the P. E. I. Railway previous to ite being taken over by it, thatit had 50

percent of curvature. This fact shoald bave been taken into consideration when the Dominion Govern-~ ment assumed control and fixed the tariffrate on the road in 1875. Fixing the rates on the P. E. I. Railway on the same basis as on the I. GC. R.—

which was an expensive road to construct and comparatively straight — not only operated injuriously against the Province, but aleo against the financial euccess of the road. Making a fair and pernaps too moderate an estimate, a travelics passing over the P. E. 1. Ra:lway acteally travels three miles by rail in order to cover two miles of territory. In ether words the passenger pays fare for three miles when only two sre accomplished. ‘his would indicate that the rate should be reduced one third.

Daring the last session of the Domia‘on Parliament I gave notice on the paper that I would move the fellowing rerolation : tLis House, that it is expedient to reduce the rate for freight and passengers oa the P.E.1. Railway.” Though the sessiou was a pretty long one, the motion in com-~ mon with a good many others, was not reached, so that the opportunity to test the feeling of the House and the Government, was, for the time being, lost I may exp!ain that between 20 and 30 notices of motion by members cf the House on different sub- jects had to be postponed in the same way. Prorcgation taking place does not always mean that al! the business is trans~ acted.

i am pieased that the Board of Trade has taken this qvestion up. Tbe p ess should do the same. Reduction of rates means increased business and increased receipts.

The p-oposed Belfast and Murray Har- hor ‘branch wouid eertainly be a good feeder and help to make the road self- sustaining, and with lower rates and im proved winter commancation, deficits on our railway shculd dissappear.

THREE MONTHS OF WAR.

— Satisfied With the Progress that Has Been Made.

Wasminaron, July 26.—Last week raw the end of the third month of the war with Spain and the responsible officials from the President down to the lowest employee who has had to do with shaping the cor ree of events feel nothing but satie~ faction 4» the prozress male. Anarmy.of & quarter Of & million wea has been motvo- lized, armed and equipped and much of it has been service. The battles preceeding the capture of Santiago have been remark- able iu many respects, and in the opinion of military experts h.ve covered the U ait- ed States army engaged with imperishable glory. Modern wrafare of a type de- veloped in these engagements wae abso- lutely new ind tnried not only tothe United States army bu: to the world. No such charge is recorded in history as that made upon the stone fort and the bleck- house crowning the hills of FR) Caney. Few officers inany army have hed more exper.ence in hard fighting, especially in rough couatry, than that oid Indian fizh'- er, Gen. Hlenry, so that come weight must be attached (othe opinion expressed by him of our offizers and troops in the fol- lowing persona! letter addressed by him to Adjt General Corbin, dated in froat of Santiago, July 12 :

“in company with Gen. Brackenridge, rode to the front toG2n. Wheeler’s head- quarters, and a flag of truce being up, had &0 Opporinnity to see the lines, We are almost on top of them, in front of Wheeler, being about 800 yards to them; but the country is rough, going down to a falling and ascending, all covered by tueir fire. Tue country all the way is tbe roughest I sver saw. You havevo follow roads on trails and come usder heavy fire, their po- fition Commanding every approach. The work done by these troops since landing, their heroism and patience under discom-~ forts, heat and rain calls for the highes: praise and the work accomplished by Shaf- ter, his pertinacity and ‘ go abeaditiveness’ under adverse circumstances and discom - forts, is a revelation tome. I coubt if is another officer who would have ‘id.’ Our loss was most unfortunate, but from the character ot the coun.ry could net have been avoided ‘if we had to get there.’ Last night the Sth Ohio were elmost drowned out, and ii pours today ; that’s the climate, and te get out of it would be cheaper to jose more by fighting aud success, than by sickness, which is sure to come by staying. We have about 30 casee of yellow fever and wacy Of malaria, but the men are cheerfal, Gen, Duffield and Capt. Wilcox have yel- low fever; they say in a mild torm; gotten from sleeping in infected buildiugs, which are now to be burned. Too much credit cannot be given to the heroism, pertinacy., pluch, patience and endurance of the men who have borne the brunt of this work.”

JOAQUIN MILLER’S REPORT

Lots of Gold for Shipment, but Red Conditions in Klondike.

New York, July 26.—Joaquin Miller, who spent the winter in the Klondike, has returned to Seaitle. He says that bis perty brought two millions of dollars in gold dust. A larger sun was taken direct to San Francisco the day before they left St. Michael’s, and severa! mil. hons were sent ap the Yukon en the two lines Of Steamers newly started up the river.

4 boat one-fourth of the money awaiting shipment in Daweon has been started out. Toe Canadian Bank of Commerce sent only tre boxes of treasure on the Roanoke. 10,008 ounces in each; fifteen other boxes await shipment.

The output will be fully twenty-five miilions, but it wall be all the year coming ont, Miller met twelve steamers oa the Yukon for Dawson. Five of them were aground on the sheale. Ifthey do not bare rains few steamers will reach Dawson with supplies this year and there are now fully 30,000 people in Dawson, as against 5,060 lust winter.

Captain Constantine, fora long time the head of the Cacadian government on the Yukon, and who gave no sign of fear last winter,said to thecaptain of the Roanoke and mysei ;

“Things in the Klondyke were never 89 S2rious as now. There are more enough minera there already—more min- ers than supplies —and quite enough to work all the rich mines that are now de- veloped. Itis the consensus of opinion among thougutfal officials and o)d miners that i: istime tocall a halt and «advise that there sha?] net be aacther rush to the Klondvke until new and rich mines. are iound.”

The scene of excitement, Miller says, now isthe head of the Koyukuk. This river empties into the Yukon 500 miles from St, Michael’s, and steamers go up the Koyukuk 50@ miles to the mines.

He adds: “Life on the Yukon is rible; it is death.”
