ward, received this morn- of the speeches delivered on the question of the

Tue Senate Ha

ing, contains reports excellent

Subway by Senators Howlan, Haythorne and Carvell. Senator Howlan’s speech is an exhaustive statement of

and facts connected with the project.

Senator Haythorne regards the project from a Dominion point of view, and argues with great force that the proposed work is ne of national importance ; and Senator Carvell, taking the same point of view, sets forth the value of the trade of the Province to Canada at large, pointing out that ‘* we do not go out to buy goads remain in offices the

manufacturing and wholesale houses come

> We

our and representatives

to us and solicit orders "——‘‘ not one tenth of the people who cross the straits are from Prince Edward Island.” Senator Carvell also showed that a very false idea of the value of the trade of the Province is given by the trade returns, no account taken of a large proportion of both imports and exports.

The speeches referred to will no doubt neutralize tosome extent the damaging utterances of our misrepresentatives in the

House of Commons.

being

Senator Howlan cri- ticised the conduct of Messrs. L. H. Davies & Co. with just severity ; and Senator Haythorne, while deprecating the introduc- | tion of party politics into the discussion,

was himself constrained to give the Grits in

our Local Legislature « pretty hard rub.

He referred to the fact that the company of which Senator Howlan prepared to build and maintain the work,

is a member were

on certain conditions, and relieve the Gov- ernment of all risk and responsibility in the matter, and said

‘If that be so, I can see no reason why such an offer should not be accepted. A somewhat similar offer was made to complete a subway onasmaller scale under the river at Char lottetown last winter, and ] think the terms were nearly the same asl have stated now. The Legislature of the Province thought fit to reject that proposition, and it has been con- signed to the waste paper basket for the pre- sent. I think myself it was injudicious to do 4o—that it would have been a wise step on the part of the Local Legislature to have accepted that offer and made the experiment on a small scale. Had it been successful it would have beena strong inducement to commence and carry to completion the larger and more im- portant undertaking.”

Though the readers of THe Examiner are already familiar with the facts, circum. stances and arguments respecting this im- portant question, we shall endeavor, as soon as possible, to publish the speeches referred to in the order of their delivery.

— It would give Tue Examiner pleasure to be the medium of a good discussion of the theories of Henry George; and we should have no objection toa reasonable criticism of any public act of the Bishop of Charlottetown. But we see nothing to be gained by an attack upon the Bishop under cover of a discussion of George’s ideas. We deem it wise to let every tub stand on its own bottom. A diseussion of the Georgian theories would only be obscured by refer- ences, however just, to the principles of the Chutch and the actions of its Bishop, and the conclusions resulting from it, when thus obscured, would, probably, almost certainly be false. We therefore think that ‘Petras’ ” letter had better be withdrawn and recast. If ** Petra” wishes to attack the Bishop fairly and squarely, he is at liberty to do so by means of Tae Examrver ; and, as before stated, we shall be happy if Task Examiner is made the medium of « reasonable criti- cism of Mr. George’s writings.

Departure of Rey. A. E. Burke. Rev. A. E. Burke left for his new field of labor in Tignish this morning. A num- ber of friends assembled at the station tuo bid him good-bye and wish him God speed. Since his ordination, some two years ago, Father Burke has been attached to the Cathedral staff, discharging his onerous duties in a manner calculated to win the love and esteem of all with whom he was brought in contact.

As soon as the news of his departure be- came public those among whom he had labored with such acceptance set about pre- senting him with tributes of their love and esteem. These tributes were present- ed last evening. St. Vincent de Paul's Ladies Aid Society presented an address acompanied with a handsome grape dish. The dish proper is of porcelain beautifully decorated with gold, and is held in position by three ‘silver cherubs. It 1s a handsome specimen of the jeweler’s art, and the lady who selected it is to be commended for her excellent taste.

The children of the Convents presented addresses and the young men of the con- gregationh a purse containing upwards of $100. Father Barke who was taken com- pletely by surprise, replied with much feel- ing to the different addresses. There would have been many more tributes of affection did time permit

The duties of Secretary to his Lordship

the Bishop were efficiently and faithfully discharged by Rev. Father Burke. <A good deal of the work connected with the cele-

bration of the Bishop’s Jubilee devolved upon him, and to his exertions the success of the Jubilee may, without flattering him in any way way, be attributed.

The rev. gentleman was deservedly popu- lar, more especially among the old people ana the poor. For the latter especially he always had a kind word, and by them his many Christian acts will be long and fondly remembered.

The parishioners of St. Dunstan’s trust that the separation will not be long, and that they will have him back again shortly to minister to their spiritual wants. eo ___

There has also been an increase in the payments tothe missionary fund, which last year was $7,774.67, but this year is $8,504.69. Increase, $730.02. PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY.

There was a keen contest for the presi- dency between Rev. Messrs. R. Wilson, E. Evans and Howard Sprague. The latter gentleman informed the conference that he would be unable to act if elected. So the contest narrowed down to Messrs. Evans and Wilson. After four ballots had been taken, Rev. R. Wilson was declared elect- ed, his vote being 45 and Rev. E. Evans 40. The retiring ,president congratulated the new president, who assumed his post.

Rev. President Wilson thanked the con- ference for the honor conferred upon him. He would endeavor to serve them well and look to them to assisthim. It added much to his pleasure to think that he was elected in the church where he had spent three happy years. He would do all in his power to assist any brother by any means in his power during the year.

The election of a secretary was the next business. After two ballots, Rev. C. H. Baisley was elected ‘secretary. Revs. C. W-Strong and Jas. Crisp were elected as- sistant secretaries,

On motion of the Rev. John Read the hours of conference were made from 9 a. m, to [2 p. m. and 2 till 5.30 p. m.

INVITED TO SEATS,

On motion of Dr. Stewart, Rev. Dr. Lathern, of Halifax, and Rev. Mr. Gould, of the New England conference, were invited to the platform. Both gentlemen expressed their thanks for the honor. Mr. Gould said he would remain a few days and would enjoy seeing how they did business in New Brunswick.

REV. D. D. CURRIE EXCOMMUNICATED.

The conference ministerial committee met this afternoon and excommunicated D. D. Currie, on report of its special com- mittee. ;

The following letters, referred to in to- day’s Telegraph, will throw some interest- ing light on the D. D. Currie case, The first is from W. Dobson to D. D. Currie, as follows:

"FREDERICTON, Jan. 1), 1887.

Mr. Currie, Dear Sir: I wish some time when you are in Moncton you would ask Robt, Crisp to show yoatwo letters that he received, when in Portland, from a Dr. Gardner, of Scotchtown. The letters to which I refer were received by Mr. Crisp about the last of November or the first of December, in the fal) of 1884. The first letter was to inquire of Mr. Crisp if, while in Scotchtown that fall, he had seen Eliza Moore, and under what circumsiances he had seen her. I have forgotten much that was in the letter; but on reading it, which I did twoor three days after I got it, I was afraid that in some way an atlempt was being made to victimize Crisp, and told him 80. : ,

The second letter was to finquire as to your address, for. he (Gardner) said he wished to cor- respond with you on business. There may be

they have always had a suspicious look. WILLIAM DOBSON, Yours truly.

The following is from Mr. Crisp to Mr. Currie, and is self-explanatory :— MONCTON, Feb, 4, 1887.

D. D. Currie. Dear sir: ! have read over’a copy of Mr. Dobson's letter to you, dated Jan. 14, 1887. He is mistaken as to the time, namely, Novem- ber or Decemper, in which I received the letters from Dr. Gardner, of Scotchtown. At your re-

March, I think it was. I received an anonymous letter from Dr. Gardner. Idon’t remember just how I knew the letter was from him, though an- onymous. In the letter he asked me if he might write me on any subject, and whether a letter addressed to me would reach me direct. I re- plied to Gardner that he might and that a letter so addressed would reach me, I then received a second letter from him referring to the Eliza Moore trouble, and tothe fact that the Muures | were poor and he was their doctor and did not know how he would get paid for his trouble. In | this letter he spoke of D.or D. D. or D. D. C.,, | don’t remember which, but referring, I suppose, | to D. D, Currie. From the teaor of Gardner’s , letter, Linferred he wanted money, and I did not! reply. I had not seen him since the last time I | was in Scotchtown, in August 2, 1884. The let- iers from Gardner | immediately destroyed. Yours truly,

R. 8S, Crisp.

from R. 8,

The following is letter No. 2 Crisp to D. D. Currie :-— MONCTON, Feb. 7, 1887. Rev. D. D. CURRIE,— : Dear Sir,——Since writing you on the lith inst., I have been trying to think of the time when Mrs- Cody, of Portland, sister of Eliza Moore, came to me with a letter from Eliza (also broughta second which I did not read at all.) I think it was about the time when I received the first let- , ter from Dr. Gardner, or a little earlier than that time. In the course of the con:ersation your name was mentioned freely by her. and I said you were worth thousands of dollar-, and you would be willing, I thought, to pay rather than have an exposure if you had done anything wrong. Yours truly, R. S. Crisp,

Mr. Crisp has stated that he left Port- and for Chatham ona lecturing tour on March 16, 1885. On his return he found a letter from Eliza Moore, brought by Mrs. Cody, her sister, in which, for the first | time, D. D. Currie’s name was introduced as being the offending party. This was several weeks after Mr. Crisp had told. Mrs. Cody that Mr. Currie was worth thousands . of dollars, and would pay. This letter is = the first one of which the conference has had knowledge up te date. Mr. Currie asked the conference to allow him to submit this evidence for its consideration, | but was refused that privilege on the’ ground that the evidence came too late. | The only court which could entertain the evidence, under the new discipline, was a, court of five. A committee of the confer- ence met at Scotchtown in February last; the members of the committee were Rey. Messrs. Chas. Stewart, Robt. Wilson, John Read, Edwin Evans and John C. Berrie, all of whom had sat on one or more pre- vious committees, and it is alleged had voted against Currie. The conference to-day could do nothing else but accept that finding and pass a vote of excommunication, which was done. Rev. Dr. Carman, general superintend- ent, presided at the

MISSIONARY MEETING

| to-night and made a fine address. Rev. | E. Evans presented the missionary report, | which showed $192,811.37 raised this year, | expended $184,669.03; balance $8,142.34, | which goes toward the debt reduction, mak- ing the debt now $13,587.41. The present | outlook is good. Splendid addresses were delivered by | Rev. Messrs. Job Shenton, 8S. H. Rice, J. ©. Berrie and Mr. John E. Irvine.

THE SUPREME COURT CONSIDERS, FREDERICTON, June 15. |

The following common motions were made to-day in the supreme court:—

Ex-parte D, D. Currie—Mr. L. A. Currey moved for a rule nisi for certiorari to remove into this court a charge of adultery, made by one Wm. OC. Moore, in February last, against Rev. D,7D. Currie, and the decision of a committee of trial of the Methoist con- ference and all proceedings thereon, or, fail- ing that, for a writof prohibition to prohibit the conference from further proceeding on the charge. The court considers.
