A meeting thoroughly representative of
commercial and-business interests of the
eity,1including nearlyhalf the members of
the Leglslatlvcsnd the Local Government
,assembled in the Market Hall lust evening
to Ottawa.
On the platform were a number of pro-
minent men besides the delegates, Father
Burke and Messrs McQuaI~ie, Read and
McCready. '
The chairman referred to the audience
as most, intelligent and re.prcsentative of
the business men of the community.
D. S. McRae of The (iuardian acted as
Secretary at the request of the Cllulrlnan.
Donald Niellolson who occupied the
chair outlined the appointment of thc
delegation that went to Ottawa as re-
presentatives of the Boards of Trade and
the Agricultural Institutes of the
province. As the result of their work he
was assured that two thirds of the lilcin-
bers at Ottawa were in favor of a 'l`unnel
which has also been endorsed by Halifax,
St John, ami Sydney. The province was
fortunate ill the lnen who were sent as
répresentativcs of Prince Edward Island.
It is now up to us to stand together and
we will get continudis comunicatlon
with thc mainland.
Rev. A. E. Burke was the first-[speaker
of the delegation. He first hunlorously al-
luded to the absence of ladies who were
unanilnously in favor of n tunnel. The
tunnel seemed not a ridiculous proposi-
tion, ns some had said but u very reason-
able scheme to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Ile
acknowledges the sentiments that he had
written to the Editor of The Guardian
some years ago. The last words of Mr
Hughes M. P. was to sec that the people
ot l;’. E. I. would unite and stop ilu-ir
bickering in working for a common good
in the interests of the Province. The
heo‘rt of the people of P. E. I. ,beats true
l.o.its intel:eaf.s.Some may say the Tunnel
is a ridiculous proposition but no man of
common sense before whom thc data. was
placed but did not say he was n friend
of the Tunnel. lic euloglsed the late
Hon. George \V. llowlan wllose heart
beat true to the interests of the Province,
and condemned those wlloattrlbuted base
motives for his support of the Tunnel.
He knew the city \vu..~+ not behind those
\vho charge petty umtives for advocating
the Tunnel. The resolution passed at tho
meetingheld here some weeks ago was
presentcdhy the Speaker to Sir \Vilfrid
Laurier before the remaining delegates
had come and na-rungelnents were
made for a meeting, which was put
oil’ for several days owing to the Minto
going aground. The Senators and mem-
bers at Ottawa are unanimous to assist
the province. It had been shown them
on that occasion thc manner ln
which P. E. I. had been in-
duced to enter the Conferleration and the
Premier as well as all to whom the dele-
gates had spoken had shown the sincerest
sympathy and interest in our case. It had
been pointed out that the only manner
in which terms could be carried out was
by rails underneath the Straits and then
we could live and uct as other
parts of Canada can. Ile outlined
the assistance given by the press
throughout Canada with barely one ex-
ception-in fact with one exception which
was blazoned out before the people of
Charlottetown. Charles M. Hayes, Man-
ager of the Grand .Trunk Pacific llnd pro-
mised his assistance and if he can do any-
thing he will bc with us in support ofthe
Tunnel. M. J. Haney and Mr. Connolly
of Connolly Bros had gone over all thc
data. Mr.Haney had told him Ile was will-
lug nt ally time to put up the security that
he would build the Tunnel in six years for
$l0,ilU0,000. Iic sent Mr. Butler, assistant
chief engineer ofthe. Grand Trunk Pacific
and what Ile said was accepted
by Sir VVilfrld and by Mr. Fielding.
The Tunnel is Ilo\v down to practical
politics and is a proposition which ought
to have the unanimous support of every
loyal man in Prince Edward Island. lie
*___.l_ 
Sydney Mill Hallflur, where Premier
Murray, Archbishop O`Iirien, hadjolned
with the Boards of Trade and others in
hearty support.He closed by an eloquent
plea, apart from politics and from sec-
tional jcaiously to stand true for_ the
'only thing tllat will perserve our
national life and our national welfare.
Let all bury personal and selfish de~lires
and elldcavor to pmluotc the colnmon
good. It had been said in Ottawa that
stllcre was no Klng‘s County men onthe
delegation, but Mr. liuzllcs, M. P., and
Senator }tobeI~i.son rose and said. We are
Kings County men and we are for thc
Tunnel. Canada is in liaison with us and
if we all work together we will have the
Tixnnel a great deal sooner than lnost
people expect.
Mr McCrel1dy expressed the regret of
his co-delegtttes and himself that Messrs.
Rnttcnbury, Tidmarsll, McLean of Souris
land Inman of Montaigne, who had been
chosen us delegates bythe Convention had
been unahlu to go. The four who had
gone to Ottawa had gone not as beggars
uskingfor favors but as delegates of the
people asking for our ,lust rights, and
they had met with a most cordial recept-
ion. They concerted a plan to illfiucnce
not only the Government but the mem-
bers ofParllament, the entire press of
thc Country and the representative com-
nleroial bodies. Scores of members of
both Houses had been spoken to person-
ally and been found ready to do usjustice
and support, the ’I‘unnel scheme. No other
plan such as embankment or car ferry had
a.ny foothold at Ottawa or on the main-
land. The Pnrliarnent nt Great Britain it-
self had not power to close the straits
which were apart ofthe high seas. To
carry out the car ferry would involve risk-
ing millions on an experiment which many
believed would fall. His individual
ellbrts in presenting the case before
_thc Ministers had bcex1__to nllI_>_w the utter
inadequacy of the present \vintcr service,
to inforce the necessity ol' a strong ice-
brenking steamer being immediately got
ready, and to construct the Tunnel as
speedily as possible as the only permanent
and effectual remedy for our isolation.
Tile press had responded nubly and from
Sydney to the Rocky Mountains with
only one ortwo exceptions had endorsed
the Tunnel scheme. ln St. John five daily
newspapers n.nd the Board of Trade had
simultaneously endorsed the Tunnel as
A necessity not only for the Island but for
the Maritime Provinces and Canada. He
paid a hearty tribute tothe four Island
members at Ottawa who had prc~
pared the way for the delegation by
their speeches in the Commons, and
who had shown the delegates
every courtesy and rendered thcnl
every possible assistance. 'l‘he delegates
had nil, he said,'workcd cordially together
with all the zeal and energy they could
command to carry out the great trust-
wllich had been committed to them. '
Nell McQum.‘rie, K.C.,out-lined the work
done at Ottawa and referred amid ap-
plause to the united action of both .
parties in the local legislature ill demand-
ing rl Tunnel and powerful winter
steamer. He pointed out, as hc had done
at Ottawa, that wllilewve were held to
the letter of the contract, lt- had been
broken every year by the Dominion
Government. The delegation did not
dictate the wny in which the contract
should bc carried out but pointed to them
that the contract had not been fulfilled.
The argument that the Province was
being depopulated appealed more forcihlyl
‘than any other to the Government and
the members. He explained how the
delegation had not only prcscntcd`
the resolution but ‘ had under-
taken to evangeiise the pt-oplc`
and the result had been attended with
some measure of .sllreess to which those
who had read the papers could testify.
He showed how a car ferry was not con.
sidered ; for a powerful winter strainer
which (uma constructed for the time could
be utll zed in other places when the Tun-
refcrred to the support in St.. .lc-llnar<l“°1h}“iI’e°" ”°mPI°t'”d»

Capt. Joseph Read showed that the
stlflbment made that he was not appoint-
ed a delegate was incorrect. Ile had been
chosen and at first oflk-red to go on behalf
of the Government but when he
saw that the Ilusiness men could not all
go hc went u ith the delegation. It was it
peculiar' thing in patriotism and ill politics
that the only oppositiim to the 'l`unncl
came from I’. E. I. and nearly all from
Cllarlottetown. Ile showed that several
ofthe must prominent .supporters of the
Tunnel scheme were members of the
Steam Navigation Co. lIercvic\\'<-il the
arguments presented to Sir \’Vilfrid ].nur-
icr and i.ln'ir fn\'ol'nble I-lI`ect
Ile pointed out that llic Tullncl

‘negativc side not to estimate the positive
gains. The principal ol|,ii-lftinn to the
Tunnel t'olnl'.~l from Cllarloiii~to\\'ll itself.
The owners of the car ferry on the I.akv;~l
were getting a bill even wllvn the dele-
gation were at iltlnwa, through thc Ilousc
to build aTunnel. A1'c\\'elo take what the
people in other parts of Canada are dis-
carding. The car ferry service to Brulc
fronl Clntrlottetolvll in the winter would
be a most- dillicull part of the Straits to
na\'i|.:atc. It was an absurd proposition.
I-Ie outlined some of the objections which
were easily and sutisfllctmily allswered.
P. E. I. has .l capacity of half a million
people and they could be sustained
here prosperously if wc had the Tunnel.
Ile closed with an appeal for thc cessation
of opposition to the ’l`unnel and stand ill
line with the remainder of Canada.

cloqul-nt speech in support of better com-
