Interesting, speeches were delivered
at the Public meeting held in the
Council Cha'mber,' Provincial Build-
ing,=Charlottetown, on Tuesday night
at which, as reported in yesterday's
Guardian, e. General Committee con-
sisting of a number of the most pro-
iulnent public men of the Island was
appointed to take steps for the ade-
quate celebration in Charlottetown
next year of the Golden Jubilee of
the first Conference towards the Con-
federation of Canada.
Tho Hon. J. A. Mathieson, K. C.,
Premier, who presided, iii opening
the proceedings, said it was an en-
couraging augury of the success of
the commemoration of the event to
which their attention that evening
was specially`directed to see such a
representative meeting of the people
of this province in response to the'th,, dmerent pl-ovinws of Camas
very short call that was given in the
Press. The event was one that stood
forward as the most prominent cir-
cumstance in the history of Canada
us a united people. Fifty years ago,
on the lst September next, a meet-
ing was held in this Council Charn-
ber of delegates representing Ontario,
Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Sco-
tia and Prince Edward Island. The
causes that led to that notable con-
ference were very complicated indeed,
too complicated for us to give any
special consideration to on the pres-
ent occasion. Ontario and Quebec
that had been for over 20 years as
one province had this marvellous
fact in their constitution, that their
Government was partly from Ontario
and partly from Quebec, and each
section of the Government had to ob-
tain and retain the majority of the
members in that province, otherwise
the Government would fall, notwith-
standing that they might be sup-
ported by the great majority of the
combined houses. They had arrived
at a state of deadlock and they were
lookilig round for some means of es-
cape. They had come to a position
where one wing of the party was not
able to obtain the majority support
from one province. They had tried
a. general election and that failed to
give relief and ithey were looking
around for some means by which the
deadlock could be broken, and the
leading men at that time suggested
as a romiidy confederation with the
other provinces of Canada. In the
meantime thc Maritime Provinces had
been working towards a combination
ol their own. Some dlniculty and
misunderstanding had arisen between
Canada, as Ontario and Quebec were
then called, and Nova Scotia and
New Brunswick, and they were standl
ing aloof in some respect. ln thcso
circumstances fthe 'three MBA-‘ltimil
Provinces agreed by resolution in
their respective houses to assemble a
conference in- Charlottetown for
the purppse of bringing about the
union of the Maritime Provinces, po-
litically, legislative and fiscally. De-
legates were appointed, among them
being soine' men who 'nad achieved
great fame in Canada. From Nova
Scotia there came Sir Charles Tup-
per and Hon. Mr. McCully. From New.
Brunswick came Mr. Tilley, after-
wards Sir Leonard Tilley, and Colo-
nel John Hamilton Gray. Our pro-
vince was represented in that Mari-
time-,_ Conference by another Colonel
John liumllton Grey, who was at
that time Premier of the Province,
by l<_‘.dwnrd Palmer, W. H. Pope,
George Coles and A. A. MOD0nald.
It was known to the leading men of
Ontario and Quebec that this Con-
ference was about to be held and
theydecidcd that it was a good op-
portunity to appoint a delegation
and send it down to wait on this
Ugnfarenoe und present to the Mari-
time Conference proposals for a gch-
eral union of the provinces. That
delegation consisted of the Hone.
John A. McDonald, George Brown,
A. J. Galt, George E. Cartier, H. L.
Langcvin, William McDougall and
'Phonics I)'Arcy Magee.
On the evening of September lst,
all those gentlemen had assembled in
Charlottetown and according to thc
files of newspapers of that time it ape
peared that Conference opened in re-
gular form on Friday, the second day'
ol September, and for two days the
delegates from Canada placed their
case before the members of the Con-
ference. Tbat Conference was held,
let it be known, in this room., in the
Councl Chamber of the Provincial
Building, Charlottetown. It conti-
nued from day to day until Thurs-
day, the Sth day of September. It
closed with a ball that was described
as the greatest social event that had
ever taken place in Prince Edward
Island. It was quite evident. that
the reporter had to restrain himself,
had to restrain his language very
carefully when he confined its impor-
tance to Prince Edward Island, when
he made a comparison with Prince
Edward Island alone. That room
was used as a reception room, the
Assembly Room was used as the
dance hall; what was then the Court
House and is now the Registry Office
was used as the supper room and the
Legislative library. Thomas D'Arcy
Magee was the principal entertainer
and he entertained them in such vein
that they did not , notice that the
hours were longer than minutes.
MAHVELLOUS MEETING
OF GREAT MEN.
There, was no question that, if they
were tosccept the statements made
by the Press of that dey that every-
one who was present had the time of
their lives. Doubtless it was an as-

NEW YORK, Dec. 31-Madam Lil-
lian Nordicn sends a wireless today
to the Associated Press telling of the
peril encountered in the \Gulf of
Papua by the steamer Tasman on
which she is a passenger. f
“All aboard the fI‘as1-asm speak
highly of the splendid behavior of
the Captain and officers, and also of
the lwlreless operator. The vessel
struck Saturday might and uncertain..
ty prevailed as to the possibility of
floating her. She went ashore on
Bramble Ray Reef from which she
was towed yesterday by a Japanese
collier. The exact amount of damagc '
sustained has not lheen ascertained
but the pumps are keeping the _Water
wcll under. The Tasman is proceeding
to 'l‘hnreday Island ,under her own
steam for repairs after which she\will
continue her voyage."
