Theref . That this meeting 1n- sist up wm the immediate fulfilment by the Dominion Government « f that part of the Terms of Confederation which relate to com munication betwern th‘s Island and the
+ v
Mainland, and that this Province receive com- pensation for the perio daring whieh those terms have not been carried out.
This reeolution, he said, expresses just what we want. It does not point out in what way communication is to be carried out. It is not our business to instruct the Government in that respect. It is only our business to see the terms are fulfilled to the letter. The terms of Unicn made with British Columbia were carried out at enormous expense. We have the same just right to a fulfillment of the solemn com- pact as that Province, and he could see no reason why the terms were not iulfilled ere this.
Alexander McKinnon, Esq, seconded the resolution. The Dominion Government, he said, entered into a contract and pledged themselves to give us constant and efficient steam communication winter and summer. In return we surrendered certain rights end fulfilled our part of the contract to the letter. They therefore should not only carry out the terms and give us effi- cient communication, but they should in- dewnify us for the great loss the Province has incurred by non-fulfilment of the terms. The people of British Columbia, through energetic measures,— by an appeal to the foot of the Throne—compelled the Dominion Government to fulfil the solemn compact into which both Governments had entered. The same course is open to Prince Edward Island. Our representa- tives at Uitawa, he said, were not as ener- geiic as they might be. They are too much
i ‘
bound up im seif to care anything for the Province. He therefore urged the people themselves not to rest until they obtain} their just rights, viz: good and efficient steam communication in winter as well as summer
The resolution being put was carried | without a diss nting voice.

hern Light, but she never appeared on ‘route. The Government, he said, also promised tugs at the Capes, but not a stone wis turned at Cape Termentine pier, cr a blow struck on the tug. He believed that if matters did not take another turn, we would have to take the same actionas the British Columbians,
advocates of Confederation in this province, and in advecating that great question he
locked forward to the formation of a strong Federal Government which would carry eut several great works then projected, such as the Intereolonial Reilwav, the canal system, and winter communication with P. E. Island. Asan advocate of Con-
federation he was greatly disappointed at the terms were carried out with re-
to the last. For three years the Albert was puton as an experiment. Then we got the Northern Light, which is doing her best, but no attempt was made to im- prove her. It is only a short time since it was discovered she could break tho ice better with her stern than her stem, thus proving that great improvement can be made. Hedid not agree with Hon. Mr. Laird that the Northern Light should be put out in dangerous weather Lecause if a disaster should cccur, and valuable lives were lost through recklessness, it might militate against further experiment being made with steamers in the Gulf, in wivter. He cla:med credit for the Local Government for urging the subject of better communication, and said the efforts would be powerless unless the pe~ple were strong behind them. He felt sure that if united action were taken we would ere long get our rights.
D. Farquharson, Esq., M. P. P., urged the people to unite as one man and demand their rights in respect to winter communi- cation.
The motion was then put and carried unanimously.
A vote of thanks was then tendered to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned.

|The News conveyed in an | Arabic Document.
4 Lonpon, Feb. 14. General Brackenbery telegraphs from Kerheka, Feb. llth. A translation of an Arabic document, found near the camp, deserted by the rebela ou Tuesday. Li is from the Governor of Berber to his faith- ful followers. The document com- mences: ‘To-day, after midday prayer, I have received a letter from fauhivl Khalifa Abdullah Eden Mohammed, in which he says that Khartoum was taken on Menday, the 9th Robi, 1362, on the side of Elborri, in the following manner; Ei Mahdi prayed and blessed the troops, who then advanced against the fortifications. They entered Khartoum in a quarter of an hour, killed
ers and boats. God has made him glori- ous. Be grateful then and praise God for His unspeakable merey.”” It may be noted that *‘Ninth Robi’ corresponds to January 26th, Europezn style. The foregoing con- firms previous ceports that Gordon was killed.

THE OFFERS OF CANADA AND AUSTEALIA.
Lonpon, Feb. 14.
The Marquis of Hartington, Secretary of State for War, advises the acceptance of ffers from Canada and New South Wailea, to send troops to the Soudan ; but the War Office authorities opposed the preposition. The question will be referred to the Cabinet for decision owing to the opposition of Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in chief, and other officers. It is probable that the Ministers will decide to inform Canada and New South Wales, that their assistance is not needed. The authorities of New South Wales have offered to defray expenses con- nected with sending an Australian contig- ent to the Soudan.

Our representatives at Ottawa, Mr. Newbery said, have not heretofore pressed our claims to efficient steam communication in Winter as effectually as they should. It was therefore our duty to insist on the local Government carrying the matter to the foot of the Throne. He was pleased to note the press of the other provinces were giving the matter of communication with this Prov- ince in winter a fair share: of attention. Une inflnential newspaper had justly Temarxed our claims were as strong as those of British Columbia. When we entered confederation, surrendered certain rights, and the Dominion Government, in return, are bound to fulfil their part of the agreement,
