Lieutenant-Governor States That His Late Advisers Attempted to Take Him Unawares— Turner's Dismissal. Vieroria, B. C., Aug. 29.—The whole of the correspondence between Lievto Governor MelInnes and ex-Premier Turs ner as been published in a special issue of the British Columbia Gazette, and has caused a sensation. It discloses the fact that the Lieutenant-Goveruor’s objections commenced on July 13, four days after the general elections, when he de« clined to approve of appointments recom~ mended by the Government to the change of date of polling in the Cassiar district, to the placing at the disposal of the Gov- the relief of men in that district by em- ploying them oo trails, and to the ¢xpendi- of other sums asked to be placed at the immediate disposal of agents in other parts of the province. The Lieutenant-Governor refers to un- pleasant interviews with the Premier and other members of the Government, and complains that warrants, which he had previously intimated that he would not ap- pr.ve, had been thrust in again among orders on routine matters in such a way thac ue wae nearly led inadvertently to ' sign them, and in fact signed one warrant placing $2,500 at the disposal of the chief commissioner for the construction of county school houses which he had prev- iously refused to sign. The Lieutenant-Govervor also instances a case in which a batch of warrants was sent to him for signature fastened together in such a way that his signature on the last sheet would bave indicated spproval of all, but he inspected them all before signing, however, and to his surprise he says he found inserted in different places six or seven warrants in blank. He con- } tinues, “I did not propose to approve of blank warrant; and I cut them out.” The Lieutenant-Governor’s letters of August 8th, whicb Mr. Turner said was not a diemissal, concludes as follows :— ‘As I would not feel justified in granting’ you another dissolution and appeal to the electorate, and as after a careful study of the sitnation I am convinced that you could not command a majority in the As- sembly, I shall not put the provinee to the delay or the expenee of a special session of the Legislature merely for the purposes of formaily demonstrating what has heen al- ready sufficieatly demonstrated to me by the general elections. I deem it my duty to therefor ask, and I do hereby ask, that yourself and your co:leagues hand in your resigrations as advisers to me and as members of my executive council.” Mr Turner, replying te the ietter, says among other things that on June 8th, T & McInnes, the Lieut.-Governor’s son and private secretary, told him that the way out of the difficulty was to give W W B Mclones, M P. a cabinet position, when he (W W B McInnes) would resign from Parliament and bring over one or two Opposition member§ to join Turner’s party, and that W W B Mcloes subequent- ly confirmed this proposition, The Governor, in a subsequeat letter, characterizes the suggestion as “ imperti- nent.” The whole eight columns. HOW THE FIELDING TARIFF WORKS: correspondence occupies Last year our British purchases aggre. gated $32,000,000; those from the United States, on the other band, stood at $78.000,000; an increase of $17,000,000. Of British goods $22,000,600 worth were taxed, and $9,929,000 worth were free. The free goods were thirty per cent. of the whole. Of goods from the United States $37,- 674,000 worth were taxed, and $40,558,060 worth were free. The free goods were fitty-four per cent of the whole. It seems queer that the British prefer~ ence should work this way; but the fact is that Mr. Fielding increased the British duties before giving the patriotic discoun and made a direct cut on the United States goods.— Mail and Empire. a ee To all who find themselves with health gradually slipping awav, Kidney and Liver so disorganized that they are incapabie of kee ping the system free from poisonous waste material, Stomach Disordered, Bowels Con- stipated, Head Aching, Back Paining, take Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills.
