ISLAND, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14. 1887. ee {Government with respect to the fulfilment jof the Terms of Union. It was not within \the knowledge of any outsider what these documents contained, until, when called for, they were laid before Puarliument. When the Subway Bill was under discus- sion in the Senate, Sir Alex. Campbell stated that ‘‘ the Bill could not be accepted and was not accepted as involving subsidy.” Sir Alex. Campbell's object was not to in- volve the Government in any way in con- nection with the matter. But when the matter came up in the House of Commons, what did Sir John say? When speaking on the Bill making provision for the repre- | sentation of the Northwest Territories in Parliament, he said ‘the had brought all the Provinces together by an iron band, with the exception of the little Island of Prince Edward, which they were about to bring in by Legislation and Subsidy. These were the words of Sir John Macdonald him- self. I ain NOT SURPRISED that certain gentlemen cannot go in for the Subway. When the Subway is built you fully aroused on the question. * For that} banqget, | now, on the first opportunity | that has presented itself, sincerely thank | the citizens of Charlottetown. To a public man who has undertaken the advocacy of any great question, it is matter tor encour-| agement that while many persons find fault with him, and attribute false motives to him, others have expressed their full confi- dence in the work in which he_ is engaged, and have given him their hearty sympathy. and co-operation. For sucha man, it is best to know that some are watching every step which he takes, as it only gives him additional ardour in the performance of his work. lam not an engineer, but my con- nection with the inauguration of the P. E. Island Railway gave me much experience in matters sach as the one to which I am uow directing my attention. [| may say that at the outset I did not flatter myself that I could get every person to see eye to eye with me in reference to this matter, but I knew that it would not be long before I would be enabled to place it before our people in such a shape that they would agree With me that, when matured, it will fully meet our wants. After I took my place in Parliament, last session, I called upon SIR JOHN MACDONALD, who gave mean interview, but declared that he did not think this scheme was prac- ticable or feasible. I said I desired to lay the whole matter, in person, before the Privy Council, and to have present one or two of the Government engineers. We would then be enabled to compare notes with some practical result. This was grant- ed. LIappeared before the Privy Council and with charts, diagrams and plans, ex- plained the whole matter as thoroughly as- I could. Messrs. Sullivan an Ferguson being: then on a delegation to Ottawa from this Province, were present. At the con- clusion, Sir John expressed the opinion that ‘‘there is something in it, I think.” Subsequently to that I had several private conversations with Sir John, and some correspondence also passed between us. When | returned to this Island, the other day, I was shown A STATEMENT IN THE OPPOSITION PRESS of this city to the effect that to Mr. Davies belonged the whole credit of having the survey made for the Subway !! To show the utter hollowness of this assertion, I may state that I told Sir John that I was too poor to spend the money necessary to make this survey of the Straits, and would have to ask the Government for a grant sufficient for that purpose. I then drew up a petition asking for that grant, and took it to every representative from the Province in both Houses, to both Whigs and Tories, for their signatures. Other representatives from the Maritime Provin- ces were asked to sign it. Every man of them of them signed that petition except- ing Mr. Davies from this Province and Mr. Vail from Nova Scotia!! Iam very much surprised, therefore, to have placed in my hands, this evening, a circular headed Sub- way Scheme, containing a speech made in the House of Commons by Mr. Davies, to- gether with a comment thereon, in which Mr. Davies takes full credit for the survey made for this Subway! The course pur- sued by Mr. Davies in this matter reminds me of the old Irish soldier who fought at Waterloo, and who, when he returned to his native village in Ireland, was very fond of getting among the boys of his neighbor- hood and telling them all about the battle. The old soldier would say: Stand up in a line boys till I show you all about it. The old Gineral rode down the lines my darl- ings, and sez he: ‘‘Michael McCarty, are you there?” ‘‘lam Gineral Darling,” sez I. Then sez he: ‘‘In the name of God, let the battle commence.” I find that in this circular great stress is laid upon certain words in a speech delivered in the Senate on the 8th April by Sir Alex. Campbell. The quotation from the circular was as fol- lows :— ‘© On behalf of the Government he had to inform the House that the Bill could not be ac- cepted and wus not accepted as involving sub- sidy. This was a measure standing on its own merits for the creation of a private company, for the purpose of creating this Subway, and did not in any way involve any undertaking direct or implied on the part of the Government. The Government believed Jaith had aureapy been kept with P.E. Island, so far as faith could be kept with them.” The quotation gives certain words in italics and capitals. The report of Sir Alex. Campbell's speech in the authorized report, contains neither italics nor capitals, and these words should not be italicised nor put in capitals. It is very strange that the circular does not give the report of Sir John Macdonald’s speech, in which allusion was made tothe Subway. Why are not Sir John’s words given as well as those of Sir Alex. Campbell? Why not? Well, I will give them.

To my! letter Mr. H. H. Hall replied as follows :— New York, Dec. 29, 1886. Hon. G. W. How an. My Dear Sir:—Your esteemed | tavor of the 2nd December was duly recesved ; | alsu plans, ete. The postponement of your visit here caused me some disappointment, but 1 see from the newspapers your are not idle. I am very pleased with the survey; it shows | ttha the work te be done is not very difficult, and there is nothingj to prevent the Tunnel from being buried out of sight as you suggest. If the borings and soundings are equal on the 64 mile line, I would choose that in pre- ference to our first location. It would be more practicable to start the Tunnel from, and end it at the shore line instead oi running into a wharf. in the first location you will perceive that the Tunnel begins and ends in a wharf; in the other it is shown as ending inland with a par- tially open cut. The latter would be a more. permanent structure. The Tunnel will be guaranteed to stand a strain of 14 tons to the foot ran ; in fact, it would carry three tons. In the hope of meeting you soon, I remain, Faithfully yours, i. H. Hatt.

Besides this, there remains the fact that while the last Allan Liner passes through Belle Isle about the last week in October, Georgetown could be made use of during the whole of November and part of December. The distance in favor of the Georgetown route is 372 miles, which,when deducted from 2,650 miles, the distance from Quebec to Liverpool via Belle Isle, leaves only 2,278 miles, which is the shortest of all the ocean routes. Frcem Belle Is'!e to Quebec is 762 miles, which, at the ordinary speed of ocean steamers inside the Gulf would take seventy-six hours. ‘To these 76 hours add 9 hours, the time re- quired to travel from Quebec to Montreal, making atotal of 85 hours. From Mon- treal to Georgetown, by the short route,the distance would be 655 miles ; the time re- quired to cover the distance by train, at 30 miles per hour, would be 22 hours, which, added to the 39 hours required from Georgetown to Belle Isle, would make 61 hours.

Light, ©. E., Chief Engineer of Quebec; Sandford Fleming, C. E. of the C. P. Railway; Ver- non Smith, C. E.; H. G. Perley, and many others. Well, the New York Engineers approved of our plans, and of the way in which we proposed to construct the Tunnel. The question now to be considered is, whe- ther or not we can expect any Government to vote $5,000,000 for a work of this kind, to accommodate 120,000 people. Can our action in asking for the construction of the Subway be defended? If we asked, point blank, for the sum af five millions in cash, the matter would assume an entirely different aspect. No man who supports the Government has a right to ask them to do what he demands, if he feels that if a mem- ber of that Government himself he could not grant it or support it. Let us see the extent of the burden to be borne. The in- terest on the cost of construction would be, at four per cent., $200,000 perannum. I| think it can be shown that the Dominion Government are now spending over that amount in endeavoring, under present cir- cumstances, to do something towards falfil- ling the Terms of Union. They have tried, under the old methods, to carry out the Terms of Confederation, but have not suc- ceeded. If the loss on the running of the P. E. I. Railway, the cost of running and sustaining the Winter Steambvats, che Summer Boats, and the Iceboat Service amounts} to more than $200,000, it would certainly be tothe advantage of the Do- minion Goyernment to construct the Sub- way, asthe present arrangements are very unsatisfactory, and will cost more year by year. But have the other portions of the Dominion no ihterest in the construction of this Subway! Have Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia no inter- est in this great work / I think I can show most conclusively that they have A VERY GREAT INTEREST in this mater, and that it is nearly as im- portant to them as to us. I shall therefore submit my views on this part of the subject for your approval or otherwise. I hold in my hand a railway map of the steamboat lines in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The distance from the Straits of Belle Isle to Quebec is 762 miles. This is the OF THE MAIL AND PASSENGER STEAMERS in summer.

B.,.Premier of Canada. Dear Srr,—Referring to our several inter- views respecting the construction of a Subway across the Northumberland Straits, between Capes Traverse and Tormentine, | beg to submit for the consderation of the Govsrnment the following proposition :— 1. The Government is expending annua!ly,at P. E. L, over Two Hundred Thousand 1. lars, 4. €., The loss annually on Railway. The cost and maintenance of Northern Light. The subsidy to Summer Steamers, and The expense of running the Ice Boats at the Capes. This sam cannot, in my opinion, be de- creased, however much it may be increased, as the presont state of the Winter and Sum- iner connection is neither satisfactory to the travelling public nor to the people of the Island. 2. With a view to make the P. M. 1. Rail- way and Subway remunerative, it will be necessary to build several branches which have been prayed for by the people from time totime, and which, in my opition, are neces- sary, Viz: Frou O'Leary Station Shore. From County Line Station to New London and Rustico. From Charlottetown to Belfast and Murray Harbor. From Seuris to East Point. Those Branches would pass through some of the most fertile and prosperous parts of the Island, as well as tap the carrying trade from the Fisheries of the North and South Sides. 3. I am prepared to form a Company to build these Branches and take the Railway off the hands off the Government, complete the Subway across the Straits, and work the whole system, finding ample security therefor, to the satisfaction of the Government, ona Tariff subject to the approval of the Governor in Council, thus affording—‘‘Efficient steam servide for the conveyance of mails and pas- sengers daily, Winter and Summer, between the Island and the Dominion, and also placing it in continuous communication with the In- tercolonial Rallway and the Railway system of the Dominion.” 4. That the Government shall deed to the said Cnn the Railway and equipment, with a right of way to said Subway. That all materials for its construction shall come in free of duty and the Government shall pay or cause to be paid to the said Com- pany, in half-yearly ag the yearly sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars. Without being in a position to speak for the Government of P. E. L., 1 may state that in my opinion such an aren as I have above pees, would, if not altogether to the Western acceptable, go a long way towards a final set- tlement of the difficulties now exist between the Government of P. E. I. and the inion of Canada. ; . All of which is respectfully submitted by- your obedient servant, Gxorcse W. Hownay.
