Canada Compact and to Extend frem Ocean to Ocean. Ouantorretowy, P. E, I,, March 20, 1878. The Dominion o/ Canada is entering upor anew end important phase of ita existence. Newfound- Jand and Prince Edward Island, which guard the entrance to the Gulf of £t. Lawroace, now exhibit Gecided signs of a desire to join the confederation. ‘Since 1567, when tho now Power, under British Protection, was estadlisved on the American Con- ¢inent, it has had many serious dimculties to ove come. From the drat the maritime provinces de- sired to torm n political anion on their own hook, and entered inte consultation for that end. Neva Bootta and Now Brunswick wore gained by granting large monetary concessions, {m the face of strong opposition on the part of thoir dahabitants, wno are ut this date, after nearly six years’ experience, far from being satisfied with choir situation, British Columbia censonted to come Inby am agreement to cunstruct a ratiroad to the Pacific, which 13 intended to’pass, nearly its entire dength, through an uninnabited wilderness, and tho proposed construction of which turns out to be one of the most disturbing elements in the politics of the Dominion. Manitoba submitted to incorporation after a civil war aad an expensive military expedition to tte territory; and the trans- fer of the Hudson's Bay country and Rupert's Land ‘Was accomplished on conditions which were ac- Cepted by the Canadians with exceedingly bad | gtace, but delays were thought dangerous. There ‘was consideravie troavle and alarm before the matter was settied: but the hardy fish- ermen of Newfoundland and Prince Edward Isiand were deaf to all overtures and have ro- Mained separate and independent colonies, subject to no civil power on the Oontinent of America. ‘The security and completencas of the Dominion make their acquisitions @ necessity, and all the influence of the mother country has been ineffectual to bring them into tho Union. A change has now taken place. OONFLIOTING INTERESTS OF THE PROVINCES. The interests of the maritime provinces arc not fdontical with those ofanada. Annexation to the Wnited States has been with # censiderabie party ‘tn them more agrecabic than absorption in the Do- minion, and the two great works of public improve- ment—the Intercolonial and the Pacific rallroads— @re considered of no imypertance in Newfeund- Jand and Prince Edward Island save im the ‘Mattor of increased taxation. In 1869 the Gevernor General, Sir Join Young (Lord Lis- gar) made @ proposition to the two col- onios, having regard to their special intérests, for their admission Into the confederacy. Resolu. Yations were passed in the Dominion Parliament providing for their iucorporatien, 1d the Legisia- tora of Newfoundiand also adopted similar resoln- Mons. Bat on reference to the people there as well a6 in Prince Edward Island, they were rejectod oy AD oyorwhelming majerity. SO matters remained up to to months ago. ‘ A LAND MONOYOLY GRIEVANCE, Prince Edward Island labors under a grievous Bvil, caused by the existence of crown land grants. {t is said that had the natural advantages. of this peiony been turned to proper account it might grave been at this time the granary of all the British American possessions, instead of barely upporting @ poor and limited population. Of Dearly 1,400,000 acres, which it contains, only 19,000 gre unfit for the plough, but only 200,000 ‘sre under cultivation. ‘The origin of this Stxte of things is ascrived to the infu. Qictous grants mado to absent proprietors | Qnier conditions totaiiy disregarding the welfare ofthe people. The abssnteo proprietors neither improve the land ner let others improve it. They retain it and keep it ina state of unproductiveness, Th: Dominion government in 1869 made it a cen- Gition that no negotiations should be entered into which might involve Canada in dispute respecting fhese proprietary rights, Before stating the phanges that have taken place in the island during Bhe past four years it may be well te set forth Bhe terms offered ag an inducement to jo!n the Do- Binion. TOR TERAS OFFERED. Oanada proposed to be charzeable wit® all !he Gedts and Mabilities of tie islam! at the tims of mnion; to defray all charges connected with Cus- toms, postal service, protection of fishories, mili- tary, &c.; pay salaries of Governor and tho Judges; provide steam eervice between the island and fhe Dominion, so #8 to piace the prov- {noe im constant communication with the Inter- Colonia! Raliroad and assume all expenses; the Domiaion gevernment to make half yearly payments of interest at the rate of five per cent on Mafference between actual amount of inhabitants per head of population as allowed Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, or the pay- q@ment of such difference in five per cent bonds, taking the population of 1861 as the basis; She Dominion to pay $25,009 annually to meet ex- penses of local government, and an annual subsidy of eighty cents per head of population, to be aug- mented in proportion to increase of inhabitants, in ull scttiement of ail future domanis for local pur- ozce. The further consideration was that no ex- port duties were to be levied unless sli the staple products of the country were taxed; the transfer to he general Parliament of the powers of taxation, and all rights to mines, minerals, fisieries, torests, ungranted lands, coinags, &¢.; pro- widing, however, tie coloniste should re- fain the right of opening, constructing and controlling roads and bridges threngh pubd- to Janda, subject to the general laws to be enacted on the subject. These terms, alse offered to New- foundiand, were, as stated above, rejected by the ‘two colonies, SPROIAL BPFORT FOR RECONCILIATION. Another effort was made later towards concilia- tion, Special advantages not offered other colo- mists, but also@ proposition for relieving Prince Bdward Island frem the burdensome and vexa- wtious land tenure were proposed. The Dominion Privy Counoll declared, with the approval of the vhome government, “Much discontent has for many _years existed among the inhabitants of the island, + prising from the fact that the lands of the colony had ~been granted by the imperial government in large blocks, and chiefly to persons residiag abroad, thus foaving to the government of the island no lands, ‘the proseeds of the sales of which could, a5 in other rbolonics, be applied towards local improvements and tle maintenance of the goverument. This -AMecontent increased from the fact that many of the so'tiers can only obtain iand on lease, mstead | -@f by [urchase, as in other North American | eotonics, That up to the present time the island , Government has failed to o'ytain a consideration + W8 Neu of the jan ‘s thus granted by the crown; and, NEW of the island owned by absentee Rropeiotes a Yo! eaters portion’ oF which rics ana THE CONDITION OF A WILDERNESS.

The Dominion also d to use its influence to secure cuch legislation as would enable the au- thorities of the isiand to purchase the land now held tn large Blocks upon terms just and equitable to all part comcerned. The other advantage eyed Pda @ subsidy to encourage the fishery rest. THE NEW PROPOSITION DECLINED, This offer of the Dominton, fair enough in ali Teason, for an accommodation, was declined by the 8 and independent fishermon. Newfoundiand Was wilting to compromise by the payment of a subsl- dy of ae jor relinquishment of ciaims for crown lands, bat Prince Edward Island was not, In the meantime the latter commenced building railroads and incurred a heavy debt. It was expected by the colonists that these public improvements, in spite of the unjust decree of George WhO AVC away their lauds by parchment decrees i meoay Ger- man relations and occupants of Established Church scea and livings im Ire! would be suficient to take our plucky islanders ‘out ef the slough of de- spend, Prince Edward Isiand depended, tna com- mercial sense, on the United States for existence. It borrowed money on untayorable terms ior the purpose stated, and noW finds itself unable to meet its obligations, The Executive Councli of the inland discovered at the beginning of the present year its AI. APFAIRS COMING TO A CRISIS, and aa the on way of keeping itself on its legs, applied to the Dominion for hew and more favor- able terms of admission into the confederation. On the 2d of January, at 9 meeting of the Execa- ul, it was stated that the tive Counc! juestion ef ac- cepting the conditions ofered in 1869 was not for- mally before the people at the late election, and same matter was not discussed as any rt of the policy of the existing administration at. ite formation, and that, there(ore, it was a ques- tion of some delicacy to approach. But tke financial embarrassments ef the isiands were too heavy to allow any question of ceremony to be considered. The Governor, it was stated, had opencd corre- spondence under these circumstances with Lerd Dafferin, having regard to his own dignity and tho intereats of the ceuntry ever which he was placed. He fully admitted that the railroad schemes projected and@ partially carried out had been car- ried on under @ misconception of the resources of Prince Edward Island trade which bad not be of the colony had labored to false impressien aa tothe ameunt of taxes which would be noauiron to be imposed to meet the lia- bility, and they confessed, circumstances having been changed, they were, in fact, in asad pecu- niary pig! NEW PROPOSITIONS INVITED, In view of these facts the government of the island professed their readiness to receive new and more Brora Propesals than tuose offored before by the Deminien for consenting to annexa- tion, but on the specific condition that they are to be first submitted to the people of the colony to be voted upon for acceptance or rejection. The Do- minien Cabinet answered Age) tly. They aware, they stated, that litical association with Canada as an odieus son- ection, and that they had required their repre- ntatives up to the preseat time to pledge tnem- ives at the polls against annexation, and that en ROW an adverse decision by those entitled to suffrage in the island would render ali action of the Executive of no account. At the si stion and on the invitation of Lord uferin two Commissioners from Prince Edward Island went to Ottawa to consult as to terms of annexation—Mecsrs. R. P, Haytherne, President of tke Executive Council of the colony, and Hon. Davis Laird. They have been informed that any new propositions fer union will be re- ceived with faver; that the previous offers in 1869 sumetently showed that Canada desired to ceme to am understanding on a liberal basis; tbat it@e- sired to consider any new propane om a sifat- lar basis, notwithstanding the embarrassed finan- cial condition of the island; that some of the propositions: were inadmissible, while ethers Seemed reasonable, aad that nothing consistont with equity would be left undene to bring about a Satisfactory arr ment loeking towards a per- fect and cordial unlon. VINANCIAL PROPOSITIONS AND GUARANTLES. ‘The Dominion of Canada, as stated before, needs the maritine colonies*to become complete. Its financial obligations are as large as it can well and. Thongh Newfoundiai has not shown change in its epposition to amnexation, the receat course 0 Edward Islan may be accepted as un ica! of the path it was prepared to follow. We sec in the Present instance a scmi-independent Power (Canada) weighed down by a heavy debt, and an outlying colony likewise oppressed by foancial ob- ligatious, which it is, cenfessedly, unabie to meet, seeking to be relieved of this burden by means re- fon gaan to ite inhabit ret id no alternative left ut to come to am ungerstanding. Newfoundland Was at one time Content te accept $150,000 per auaum tn leu ot relinqushment ef elalme on crewn lands, but on secend thought the proposition was rejected. And ere the views of Great Britain, whick Save sivcady edged its credit io the AmODAt of $25,000,000 in Vor of tke Vominion to carry out the policy of union may be quoted, Lord Tlegar, the tate Bor: ernor General, im 1360, with the Knowledge of tm local embarrassments and the glowing scandal the Dominion, sald, alter tis return irom Europe :— ery p ery party m England regards the prospe: es th minion with hopefulness; at present they cousider it independent, It has its destiny in its own hands, Whether it be to continue its present connection or in due t:me of maturity of growth to change it for some other form of alliance, England will ke psi tm good faith to accede to their wishes, and in case of chamge to give effect to it.

The Inter. colonial Reilroad goes to Haliiax—the price of gulaing the unwilling Nova Scetia and the con- iguity of New Brunswick te the United States would in any event have secured it to the Dominion at any cost. The other territories, being wild and practically uscless, amount to littic or nothing. LORD DUFFERIN’S POLICY. It may seem strange that so important a matter as the presence of Commissioners in Ottawa from Prince Edward Island jor the purpose ot conduct- with the Demiuien government ‘tion of the province should not be mentioned in Lord Dutferin’s address at the open- ing ef the Canadian Parliawent a tew weeks since, The unwillingness ot the Viceroy to touch uj the uarighteous confiscation of the part of the land of the colonists held in Bame of abscntee proprietors, which has proved one of the prolific sources ef the greatest wi of Ireland, in which Lord Dufferin himself a large landholder, ma: @ sealed his lips on the topic. But there is stil @ further reason—aud it relates to the United States. The Sehing interests of the istand are mainly in American hands. Three- fourths of the mackerel caught annually in tne Gali sf St. Lawrence {s shipped to the East States, aud the island is arasty interested in fur- nishing owuers of vessels with supplies of barr: galt, bait, rovisions, &c., and the en- Bowe ‘of the unjust construction of the Fishery aty of 1818 made by the Canadians would ruin thousands of the colonists engaged in trade. GENERAL DENJAM! BUTLER, when our diitioulties with the Dominion, owing 4 re a Congress repealing the Reciprocity act, their worst, came here on an picasure excarsion. The feelings of the colonists favor of closer communion with the United States were as well known then as they were up to the begianing of the prea- ent year. {t was undeistood General Butler was authorized to offer @ reciprocity treaty to its 100,000 inhabitaats, The Eesex esman returned highly pleased with bis cruise, and reported that free trade between United States and Prince Edward Island “would be higvly advantageous to the United States, because the balance of trade, even if unequal, would be in our favor."’ This mis- sion was displeasing to the home geverament. A notice was seut from Lon«on that the island had ne independent treaty-meking powers. THE JOINT HIGH COMMISBION. Lord Dufierin may have been silent also In conse- juence of the leo of Prince Edward Igland in reference te the business o! the Jeinc High Com- mission. Only on one occasion since its sessions terminated have sharp words passed between the governments of the United States and Great Brit- ain. In July, 1871, the government of Prince Ed- ward Jstand, which holds the same position in the treaty as the government of Canada, decided net te enforces the fishery laws during that time and nding the consideration of tho treaty, io Terms on which this right was cenceded led to 4 misanderstanding. It was claimed that the United States shold reiund duties on. fish oil and Osh im- Ported into tuis country from the tsland up to the Passage of the act of Congress gying, efteet to the ‘sl Yreaty, Secretary Fish refused to ew- tertain proposition, and said, ‘it was dimeult to understand” how eo unfounded a demand could be put forward, SiR RDWARD THORNTON, abtgce the 10th of last Jwy, informed Mr. Fish that “Her Majesty's government canvet contest the justice of the position assumed by the govern. ment of Prince Edward Island, and as that eoleny does not possess revenue vessels oy whicit its fishery laws can be cniorced they have thoaght it right to send instructions to the oMicers commanding Her Majesty's siipsas regards the protection of the Price Edward Ista fixheries generally by Ad mira!

A singular transaction, unequalled in the annals of crime in San Francisco, and at this time of peculiar interest, just been laid bare by a nicely devised scheme of Chief Crowley.

She said the house tag’ been entered by two men, one of whoin held irmiy with one hand whilo he held a pistol exposed in the othor, The second took a lamp from the table in front of her and dis appeared with it. After being absent a scort time he returned without the tg but with a satchel of Mrs. Bacon's Joweiry. Both then left. When the horrid little man caught her by the hands and ex- his pistol bos heck away, and after they leit she became utterly unconscious, Sho ae- soribed one of tho mon as short and thick, with a sharp contracted jaw; the other was a tall, stout- looking fellow. He had not what she would call a ration, hué what might be termed a Western addition. His head was 8 native of Negretia, but his hands were born in another country, and were of Caucasian extract. The littic fellow had the same marks of double nationality. They papned from her view hurriodly and unceremoniously, but, unconsclous as she was, she followed them into the street, screamed and fell, and knew no more of things sublgnary until she was aroused from her spiritualistic ramblings by the voice of her com- panion, Mrs. Bakon.

But if you say to her that we believe she stole them, although we would not tell you so, and that if she gives you the property on Wil keep the matter secret and not prosecute her, she may eur- render it.

On the appointment of the Publication of the Min- utes Commitiee and the expenses connected there- with Dr. Kettell gave uttcrabce to whispers that he said prevailed on the floor that the committee in jermet years had made fiioney out of the adver- tisements Inserted in the minutes, and he desired an auditing committee to look after the finances of Dr. Woodru® hoped such committee would be appointed and that it would examine his accounts and audit his claims against the Conference, which, he believed, if pe. would swamp them. ev. G, L. Taylor said he had given many weeks of his time to the publication of the minutes and had spent a great deal of money, and he now, in view of the remarks made, absolutely deciined to serve on this committee, ‘Tne remurks were thereafter with- Rev. N. Tibdballs offered to publish them gratituously without advertisements, Rev. M.

Bat now, wheu for the first tie the committee had had a surplus made by the advertisements, brethren go about whispering asd insinuating. He claimed that this money Was bis own and the committce’s, and ae had a right to do what they pleased with it, He had given his share to the worn-out preach- ers. Dr. Kettoll made a further explanation and apology for haying said anything at all on this sub. ject. But as the whispers were around the floor of the Conference he thought it bost to give them ventilation, ‘The anvual EXIIBIT OF THE ROOK COMMITTEE, showing the standing’ of the Book Concern in New York id ita depositories and depen- dencies, was presented and ordered on file.

Selden, Henry Rameey, Horace Bemus and Charles E. Bakor; did not re- tain Abraham Van Vechten or A. D. Barber; any communication with them was merely casual; never knew that either of them had received money from the company; witness had received two sums of $5,000 eaoh for legal services while there; one $5,000 went to the lawyers; retained the other for circu- lation of petitions, hotel bills and other expenses; the bills of several delegations sent from the line of the road to oppose the repeal were paid out ef the last amount; @ printed statement of the disburse- ment of the fund as reported by witness was ex- hibited and recognized aa correct; W. H.

EVIDENCE OF MR. SAMUEL J. TILDEN, Mr, Tilden, on being sworn, said he haa noticed in the public press lately that $20,000 had been paid him in 1899; ‘if the Erie books contained any such amount credited to him the records” had been falsified; he had recetved the sum of $10,000 in February, 1869, for services a8 counsel and arbiter in railway litiga- tion; had never received any other sums from tne ad just come from examination of the books, with President Watson, and oaly onc entry was found, that of the $10,000, and that payment had been the subject of inquiry when the caso of Judge Barnard was before the Judiciary Committee last year.
