——————————————— tn eat CTE ts a. ery ore THE DAILY EXAMINER. | “MAY 2 1891. Mr. A H. MacPoersen. We announce to-day, with deep regret, the death of Mr. A. H. MacPherson, who was for s nnmber of years City Clerk of Charlettetown. It will be admitted that a more competent officer than he never served the corporation, He worked hard and faithfully ;—and he has passed away in the midst of his years, Mr. MacPherson was aative of Stellarton, ia Pictou County, Nova Scotia. We tender to his bereaved and sorrowing wife the heartfelt sympathy of all those for whom THe Examiner my speak. o-oo The Tunnel. Ir seems that we may have a tnuanel twelve feet in diameter for $5,00U,00U, or « tunnel sixteen feet in dismeter for $10,- 000,000, Why such a small difference in sise should make such a big difference in price is what no man can tell until the full report of Sir Douglas Fox has been re- ceived. It is the opinion of laymen of some intelligence that a large tunnel ought to be made at a proportionately less cost than a small tunnel. This seems the more reasonable in view of the fact that a double tram track ean be laidin the larger ex- cavation, and the work of taking out the earth and taking in the empty tram cars carried on cuntinuously, However this may be, it is clear, in view ot the prospective demands of the traffic, that if it be built at all, the tunne) ought to be sufficiently large to admit an ordinary train, and not necessitate uploading and loading up again at each end. The report of Sir Douglas Fox will be awaited with interest. In the meantime, it may be well for the Board of Trade and others to consider the next step to be taken in the promotion of the tunnel scheme. saieetiatiaid ~A Silly Contention.” a Iv is the policy of the grits in cftize, to raise a hue and ery concerning ‘* the finan- cial atate of the Province” in order that they may have an excuse to levy heavy taxation, and ‘* bleed the country" as they did in the unhappy years of 1877 and 1878. But the Patriot now admits that the debt vf the Government to the banks will not be, on receipt of the nex* instalment of subsidy, more than $50,009. Ifthis b> so, what real cause is there for the cry that **the Tories have ruined the Province ?” Not to speak of the capital of $500,000 represented by the $20,009 a year grant obtained by Messra. Sullivan and Ferguson, there is still nearly $800,000 to our credit in Ottawa—against a debt to the banks which will— on the admission of the Patriot—not be more after the Ist of July than $50,000, and may be $20,000 to $50,000 leas. That the practice of overrunaiug the receipts of the Province and paying inter- est to the banks is vicious, has been over and over again declared and protested against by THe Examiner. But it is not contended that in doing so the late govern- ment were guilty of recklessness and extra- vagance in the use of the public monies and the public credit. No. They were, admittedly, as econumical as they could be. But they hoped to obtain money due the Province which they didn’t get ; there were necessary expenditures which they didn’t anticipate; they were prevented by the Legislative Council from carrying several of the economical reforms which they pro- posed,—and so they failed to make ends meet. ‘*The head and front of their offending hath this extent—no more” ' That the present Government will find any great difficulty in adjusting our finances is—in view of the Patriot’s asdmission—a silly contention. The late Government, had they remained in power, would have met the difficulty—in spite of the Legisla- tive Council; the present Government have the aid and support of the Legislative Couneil, and they can do so much more easily, and (if they choose) much more satisfactorily. —Onthe day of his death Von Moltke said to his niece that a man had sent him « calculation showing him that the gen- eral's birthday had never fallen on Sunday, and added with a smile that if he were superstitious he might believe he had seey his last birthday. —— ———<—$—$<—< News Notes, Jews are being driven in herds from Mos- cow and Kieff.

PUNERAL OBSEQUiES. ; — The casket containing all that was mortal ‘of the Right Rev. Peter Melntyre, Bishop of Charlottetown, arrived here from Pictou in the Princess of Wales last night. was not untilten o'clock that the steamer reached here, and for two hours previous to that time the wharf was thronged with people. Onarrival of the steamer the body was removed to The Palace by undertaker Hennessey. grand salon, where it remaiuel throughout the night and to-day, during which time a large number of people called to take a last louk at the lamented prelate. This evening at six o'clock the body will be taken to the Cathedral, where it wiil re- main until the funeral. The Office of the Dead will be sung in the Cathedral this evening at six o'clock. To-morrow morning at ten o'clock there pose of the soul of the deveased Bishop. The funeral will leave the Cathedrai tur the railway station at two o'clock to-mor- row afternoon, thence by special train to St. Peter's, where the interment will take place. His Lordship’s death was very sudden. After taking tea with Bishop Cameron, he chatted pleasantly with his host and some other clergymen until shortly before nine o'clock, when he retired to his room. A little later, Father Gillie, in passing hie door, heard a groan within, and on going inside found hia Lordship prostrated on the bed. Father Gillis’ first act was to take His Lordship by the arm and rouse him; but after speaking a word or two, he fell forward again, dying. His Lordship wae annointed by Father Gillis. Mgr. Macdonald, who left here with His Lordship, returned last evening with the body. He was accompanied by Dr. Me- Neill, Reetor of the College at Antigonish, who was one of the clergymen present with His Lordship at the episcopal residence on the evening of hia death. The Bishops of the other Provinces are expected here this evening. Flags are displayed at half-mast to-day on most of the public buildings and places of business out of respect to the memory of His Lordship. ee ———— Religious Services.

The Canadian and Michigan Tunnel Com- pany, which was incorporated by act cf the Dominion Parhament in 1890, began the excavation on Thursday of a railroad tunnel under the Datroit river. The act pre- scribes that the company may conduct and manage a railroad tunnel under the waters of the Detroit River, from some point at or near the towns of Windsor ur Sandwich, Ont., and place therein one or more tracks, and construct a railway not exceeding five miles in length, as an approach, and such other approaches as may be necessary.

Honorable Géentleme } ‘ | Gentlemen of th Hl use f Comm ’ l aim giad to welcome you | which 1 hope will be memorable for wise deliberations and for measures adapted to the progress and development of the Do- minion. The season in which you are assembled | has opened auspiciously for the industnes |of our people. Let us hope that their la- from land and sea and that the great re- | Sources of Canada may continue to reward i the toil and enterprise of its inhabitants. My advisers, availing themselves of op- portunities which were presented in the closing months of last year, caused the ad- ministration of the United States to be re- minded of the willingness of the govern- ment of Canada to join in making efforts for the extension and development of the trade between the Republic and the Do- mininion, as well as for the friendly adjust- ment of those matters of an international charaeter which remain unsettled. [ am pleased to say that these representations have resulted in au assurance that, in Oc- tober next, the government of the United States will be prepared to enter on s& con- ference to consider the best means of ar- riving at a practical solution of these im- portant questions. The papers relating to this subject will be laid before you. Under these circumstances, and in the hope that the proposed conference may result in ar- rangements beneficial to both countries, you will be called upon to consider the ex- pediency of extending, for the present sea- son, the principal provisions of the protocol annexed to the Washington treaty, 1888, known as the **modus vivendi.” A disposition baving been manifested in the United Kingdom to impose on sea-going ships engaged in the cattle trade increased safeguards for life and greater restrictions against improper treatment, a careful enquiry has been made as to the incidents of that trade in so far as this country is coucerned. The evidence elicted on this enquiry will be laid before you. While I am glad to learn that our shipping is free from reproach in that re- gard, your attention will be invited to a measure whieh will remove all reasonable apprehension of abuses arising in the future in connection with so important a branch of our commerce. The early coming into force of the imperial statute relating to the vice-admiralty courts of the empire has made it necessary to revise the laws in force in Canada respecting our courts of maritime jurisdiction, and a measure will therefore be laid before yeu designed to reorganize those tribunals. A code of the criminal law has boen pre- pared in order that that branch of our juris- which your beat attention is invited, Measures relating to the foreshores of the Dominion, and to the obstruction of fis navi- gable waters, will be submitted to you, and you will also be asked to consider amend- ments to the acts relating to th: Northwest territories, to the exchequer court acts and to the acts relating to trade-marks. Gentlemen of the House of Commons : The accounts for the past year will be sub- mitted to you. The revenne, after providing for the services to which you appropriate it, has left a surplus for the works which you de- signed to be carried on by capital expenditure. Phe estimates for the coming year will be laid before you at an early date. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate ; men Of the House of Commons : ] pray thatin the consideration of these matters and in the performance of all the labors which will devolve upon you, your de- liberations may be divinely aided, and that your wisdom and patriotism may enlarga the prosperity of the Domizion and promote in every way the well-being of its people. . (Fentle A DISGUSTED MAN, The Parliamentary correspondent of the St. John Sun writes :~- ** Davies, of P. E. Island, isa very much disgusted man. Notwithstanding the fact that hia party had taken the lead in the Do- minion in re-opening the election fight b petition he maintained the belief that his little province wonld be an exception to the rule, seeing that as the Grits had four members to the uther party’stwo they had everything to gain by leaving matters alone, hence Mr. Davies advised his friends to make no protest against McDonald and McLean, which aiv'c: was taken, After the time for asprotest against the Conservatives had passed, Davies and his three associates were served with notice of petition. He now wishes he could get at McDonald and McLean,” CONSERVATIVE WHIPS, The following Conservative whips have been elected: Taylor, McKay and Corby for Ontario; Bergeron, Pope and Frechette for Quebec. Daly will keep run of the members from the wild and woolly west. company may acquire all lands or beaches necessary to construct the tunnel under the provisions of the Canadian Railway Act. The capital stock of the company is €5,000,- 000, with power to increase to $10,000,000, —" French Intrigues. Sr. Joun's Nfid., April 30.—Some days ago over fifty bait carriers well loaded escaped the Government cruisers at For- tune Bay and sailed with their cargoes for St. Pierre. Information has just been received to the effect that these schooners are returning with men ineited to rebellion by the French fish merchants of St. Pierrie who had sup- plied them with arms, ammunition and liquor, Much anxiety is felt. The Government despatched another steamer last night with a force ef men ander command of Colonel Fawcett. The warship Pelican will be ordered to proceed to Fortune Bay instead of St. George's Bay. Very serious trouble is expected to follow this intrigue and aggression on the part of the French. The Ship Raiiway. _Amuerst, April 30.—The financial con- dition of the Chignecto Ship Railway is in no precarious state whatever. The coin- pany has abundant means, and large forces of men are being employed as fast as the condition of the ground, owing to the frost, will permit. Josiah Wood has charge of the baker's dozen from New Brunswick, while Sir John A. Macdonald has the call on the Nova Scotia contingent. The opposition whips are Trow and Sutherland of Ontario, Bro- deur and Carroll of Quebec. The namber of representatives from the maritime prov- inces and the west is so small that no danger is feared that any will be missing on division. TO PORCE THE FIGHTING. The opposition threaten to foree the fighting this session. This threat would perhaps bs regarded more seriously if the opposition had not always forced the fight- ingallthey could. It cannot be learned that any new source of strength has been discovered, or that as yet any new policy has been invented. it was believed until this afternoon that Mr Laurier would move an amendment to the reply to the address, but at the caucus to-day no such policy was determined upon. Both parties — held caucuses to-day. Sir John made a cheer- ful address to his friends, intimating that the opposition would probab!y pursue an aggressive campaign, as far as possible, and observing that the Conservatives would probably be found as ready to { the fighting ae their enemy. vice DUAL LANGUAGE QUESTION. The Manitoba language question will be on hand early. Mr. Lariviere, a conserva- tive member from that province, has taken the wind out of the sails of both the grits and equal righters by inaking the first K . C, for the Stomach.
