*... *>.- DOILUM PARLUItlT. FIFTH PARLIAMENT- SECOND SESSION. t . r. K. K. ...lull.a.. OTTAWA, Feb 5 In the HOUM o( Com- mons fe-Ja), after preliajiuary busiuets, Uie Clerk read the order (or a committee at the whole to oousider the (_'ua*la Pacific laailwa) resolutions. Bir Charles Tui per en rising to present the resolutions was received with oheera b> hi* trisuds. He said tht if the Canadian Pacific Kmlway Company made the same progress in the future they bad lu the past there wan eTery reaaon to hope the line would b open trom ootan to ooeau ID the (all of 1*6. and he wan able to say that if the present rate of progress were continued the Hue would be completed lu the (all of axt )er, and in lull operation in the spring of 1886. That portion which the Government undertook to oompUte would be finished in time to enable the line to be worked throughout. Mont satisfactory re nlta bad attended the work on the line Irom Port Moody to Kamloop*, now beioK onttfacted by the Guvernmett Out of the contract Bum c( uiue millioni*. nveu mil* lione bad been already expended, and be was Klad to be able to assure the House that the work would be oc mpleted by September next, and that it would not eiceed the eiiti mate iu.de. Too C P.R. Company wan mnder contract to build the line from C'l lander to Port Arthur, 650 mile*, and from Selkirk to Kamlocpe, 1 250 miles a total of 1,900 mile*. Of this total, 1.131 mile* were DOW oomileted and train* were running on it. Besides thi, '239 milee o( bratiobee bad been built by the company and U.UOO men were ecxagtd in tbe work of oonitroctioo. In order to secure the guarantee of tbe sixty tive million* o( stock issued tbe corn pany hid to put in tbe bauds o( the Gov ernment over 8 000 000. Tbe aooeptai.ee of this money scan -I y transcended tbe borrowing power* of the Government, and in ro far as it had transcended its i/oeri the Government were ready to appeal, and would appeal with confidence to me support of the Uouae. The oouipaoy besides this left in tbe hands of tbe Government the and grant bonds still unissued. They fd'tber commuted in favor of tbe Goveru ment tbe postal subsidies, wiiaiated at 3,000,000, and tbe cost of Government transport, h oh. in connection with iL aflurs and Mounted Pulioe transport, would represent a very conoiderable amount. Abundant security bad beeu taken independent ot the postal sub-id) . No change was proposed bv tbe C. P. K. lu regard to their contract. Putting tbe most moderate estimate on the value of the lands the C. P. It. (elt themselves able to com- plete tbe contract without tbe altoraiiou of a single letter, but tbe qutmion that was submitted to tbe Government was whether that step should be taken, not to enable tbe oouipaoy to oom| lete their contract within tbe af eaihed tirn*. bat to antioif ate that time by five years. Under these circumstances the Government consented to tbe guarantee arrangement, That arrangement signally (ailed. The war sgainat the trausooutiLsntal railways and the t Mori* to bear C. P. K. stocks were carried on with increasing animosity, and not only (allure but diraater followed. Under these circumstances tbe Govern- ment submitted tbe resolutions now laid upon the table. He thought that alter tbe statement be would make tbe House would be derelict in its duty if it rejected tbe resoluuous. Tbe House was asked to cup port these resolutions, not (or the advaut age of the Canadian Pacific, but that the country might bave tbe benefit of tbe com- pletion o( the great work in two years. In the first place tbe company asked to post- pone the payment ot 87 380,919 o( tbe scoured guarantee, and left the Goveru- msnt ample stourily (or tins proposition. Then it. was proponed to advance to, the com- pany tM, 500, 000, to he paid on the 1st of May, 1891. It was proposed also to alter tbe manner in which the subsidy should be paid. In regard to tks advance of IM 500 000, it was to be borne in mind that It was only so be paid mils tor mile a* the work pro- ceeded. To secure re-payment of this ad- vance, the Government nad the security afforded by the charge upon tbe property with the proviso that in default of payment ef interest or principal (or twelve months tb* whole property of tbe company shoulc be forfeited to tbe Government, and they had tb* provision that no further charge should be created upon tbe property of tne company save (or tbe sole purpoie o( repay ing ibis advance, and they bad tb* thirty five millions of stock deposited with tbe Government. Another proposal wax th* release ot the million dollars security de posited by tbe company as evidence of tbei bona ridfi in the work, which nad obviously now become unnecessary. Sir Charles Tupper tben proceeded to deal with tbi character o( tbe expenditure. In tbe firs place, there could be no doubt of tbe ex penditnre of 23,(XJO,000 on tbe main line (rom Callander to tbe oreet o( tbe Rooky Mountains. A to tbe expenditure of over three millions on the branohee, he bought be could apreal to tb House that in tbe interest ot Canada as well aa of the company, no money could be more wisely spent. This expenditure (or suppl-es am tor rolling stock was obvioudy necessary Tb* amount (or lake steamers would ret-ul inaeoniiog a through Canadian line nex summer. Tbe interest on the land gran bonds, the dividend on stock, and tbe sum put up with the Government under the guarantee were incidental to the financia lit* ot the company. Then as to tbe sum spent in securing tbe line to Montreal, b \bongbt til would agree that in order t give tbe company standing before the worli it was necessary that ilu line should no stop at an unknown point like Callander but at a place like Montreal, (or when tba point was reached it might fairly be sai that there was a line completed from sea t sea. In purchasing the charter of tb Atlantic .1 Northwest Railway Com pan tbe Canadian Pacific secured authority tc perform important work*, among them the one now being completed round tb Mountain at Montreal to connect with th Grand Trunk. Tbe purchase of the Bontn eastern was for the purpose ct placing th company in a petition to draw traffic to th Atlantic seaboard at New York, Boston Portland, St. John, St. Andrew's or ilaJifai Tbe people in the Maritime Provinces were of oourne, looking anxiously to have tb tarmino* O f this great railway at thei ports, whether by the International hue *r j some other giving tbe shortest rouie to tbe waat. Suppose the company felt it neoea- aary to seek a terminus at Boston, New fork or Portland, be (Sir Charter) balieved ley would tail in tbair duty to tttoir great nterpriae and to Canadadid they not at*k o draw trt. :t, through these ports to their*, Canadian line. For lT own part be re- ' rcttrd that the oompauy had not gone to he great summer ocean port of Canada. (uebe-v He believed they won.'d yet and I ; absolutely necessary in their own inter- 1 eat to seek a line to tbat point. He belie ved ' ae company would not rest until not only ad tbey got a through route to Quebec, but Hey must secure ths shortest hue to lialifax, 8t. Andrew's, St. John, and ulti- attlv Louiabnrg. He drew attention o tbe property proposed to b* COVaBID BT TBI LIEN iven by tbe Canadian Pacific Railway I ,'uoipany Tbis. property cjvered the' bile hue now built by tbe company, tbe j hree magnificent ateamera owned by the aompany, and the unsold laud. Tbe total I mileage of tbe road would be W.<;< mil**, ! be total charge on the hue between Mon- ' real and Caliauder waa t5.333.333, and the total land grant, earned and unearned, was ,846 600. This laud wa* subject to a | len ot 15,000,000 for tbe operation of tbe oad, and in order to remove an erroneous mpreasion be might say tbat there was no imposition to release tbis security for the lue operation of tbe road for ten year*. Ii- tben went on to show tbe value of tbe aud grant a* a security in the bands of tbe government. He would estimate tbat the road bad cost the country (103.1100000, wbiob be said was tbe favorite calculation of tbe hon. gentlemen opposite. He then made a atatement showing the position iu which tbe country would stand incase the iailway Compauy tbould rn.ke default ai.d the railway be thrown on tbs country 'B lands. UK estimated that tbe country would lave to pay only S','7.100 320, aud would be rcoupea out of tbe lauds t j tbe extent of M2,4'.i3 '200. Hon. gentlemen opposite bad said that the road could not be built from allauder to 1'urt Moody for less tban 120 OCO.POO. He then went into further calculations, tbe renult of which be claimed tbat tbe country wouid only bave to pay for tbe railway :c.i.j:i3.3lK. There was of course uo syndicate now. Tb OJtupany was formed, aud they had to dei 1 with tbe shareholders. But he could not 'orget these men who had had tbe enter- priae to imperil tbeir capital iu tbia great ibdertakini'. and be could not but feel that Canada owed Ibtrn much, bull tbey bad uo claim upon Cauada. Tbey had n reived magnificent aubsidy to do a certain work. Tbe claims of tbia proposal to tbe suf port ( tbe 11 ui-e muat reat upon tbe broad lasia of tbe good of Canada alone. Tbe Speaker left tbe chair for recess. Afterr>Ofss tbe Speaker took tbe chair sharp at o'oli ck. Sir Charles 1'upper, resun, ing, miltl.i overnment baa followed tbe policy of its predtceasors in refuaiug to allow lines to jinptte wiib the Canadian^ Pacific Kail- r ay. Thia Government felt It nects-ary to jive all tbe protection to tbis company which waa claimed wben tbe Government was to grapple with tbe enterprise itself. He proceeded : However, I may say tbat t u tbe conclusion arrived at by tbe ..'auaritu Pacific Railway Company itself u regard to tbe ability of tbtir own liue to take care ot itself, and by its inherent power to maintain its position, uotwitb- itanding any competition to which it may M subjected, that, although we have no iower under tbe charter to control any wrtion of the Northwest, we are in a post- now to review and reconsider tbe whoy of tbe lats aa well a* of the present >overnmeut as to protecting fcr any long period tbe Canadian Pacific Railway mil competition. I am glad to oe able to stale to the Hou<<e that such is the confidence of tbe Canadian 'acino Railway Company in the power of be road to protect itaelf that, wben ,be line is constructed uortb of Lake Superior, tbe Government feel it will be incumbent upon them to reconsider tbe position tbey bave hitherto felt it mourn- lent to take of refusing to consent to tbe construction of lines within tbe Province of Manitoba to connect witb the railway sys- tem of tbe otbsr side. I can give no better evidence to the House and the country of tbe advanced position we consider the great enterprise to have attained. He considered tbe House would be traitorous to it* duty if it neglected this simple means of aiding tbis great national work. He bad no doubt whatever that the House would give it* assent to the resolutions, and tbat we would not look back having otoe put ear band to the plough. Wben the people saw that without paying a single dollar more they could hasten the completion of the line by five year*, they would demand that tbe House give it* assent to these propositions. He concluded by moving tbe resolutions, Mr, Blake, on rising to reply, complained that tbe Government bad pressed tbe reso- lutions before tbe members of the House were in possession of full information, aud before tbey had time to consider such statements as bad been brought down. Three years ago it bad been urged a* a reason why tbe Pacific Railway oontraet should be adopted tbat tbe full limit of tbe country's liability would be known, and that the people would breathe freely. Tbat element ot finality would no longer be evoked now that the company, which was said to be so strong, tbe strongest tbe world ever saw, was now coming to tbe Government to ask for some money to en able them to fulfil their contract. After three years' experience tbe Government had found that it was in the interests of the country, not in tbe interests ot tbe company on, no ! that tbe company should draw their pay in proportion to tbe work performed instead of upon the mileage. Tbis decision was arrived at three years too late. Tbe Opposition had pressed for tbia provision wben the con tract wa* first submitted. Now the oom pany bave got to heavy work tbey want a change, and they want tbe pro portionate principle applied now or they would bav* no money to carry on tbe heavy work. It was tbe duty tf the House to watch where the dis- proportionate subsidies paid on the prairie section bad gone. How did it happen tbat o much had already been expended upon tbe work ? Tbe prairie section was said to have cost Jl.~p.000 per mile, but ne esti- mate bad been submitted to show that that section should cost so much. The Railway Minister's estimates of the coot of the branch ing th I .on their statement respect tbe main line. Tbe to give th* inform* defied the law, and in were upbeld by Par- verr.meut. We are told Company bad been con- own members for con- . This operation wa* the supplies stopped, and DO money to go further. Such au arrangement aa tbat entered into between the Cauada Pscifio Compauy anu tbe Construction Compauy was expressly that "Ue tracting strue' ion stopped w when they b forbiddi n Tbr Miuis upon tbe but from appeared ' Kickiug H the terms The grade* Act ' 1 make such enable th tbat pa**. iuforinati actually r stock.

If tbs oouutry wa* to go into partnership witb IIIH railway company we should know low tbey conducted tbeir business. The tfinuter of Rtilweys was wrong in stating tbat the policy of the previous Goverumeut formed a pttoedeut for tbe disallowance of local railway charter*. It wa* now stated tbat, aasoon as tbe com- /any became strong enough, so soon a* tbey jad tbe entire control ot tbe whole coun- ty within tbeir grip, tbe monopoly would je raised. Why ? Beosuae tbe company elt tbat in a few years they would be so powerful tbat it would matter very little hat powers were givtu to the people of tbe Northwest. Three ye>ars ago we were told, wben protestitg tbat tbe company were to rtccive far tuore than tbe rot d would cost, tbat it muat be remembered tbat tbe oompauy would bave to run tbe road for years at a loss. Tben tbey were [aid iu advance for tbe unprofitable run- ning of tbe road, acd now it was said tbat tbe enterprise was to prove profitable . thus tbe company bad rectixil double ray, first in tbe form of_^xcesM\e subvention, and, s of exorbitant rates paid if tbe Northwest. He ring up such roads as tbe I Kuatacbe branches tbe 'Udtd ita subsist ce use now wben Parliament to grant about thirty more, these transactions be explained. Information Railway Company, and nothing was now beard ot the money. Other companies had made default, and had not lest tbeir railways. Supposing this company made default two years kenoe, what would be said? Tbe Government would be a*ked, Are you going to foreclose this mortgage aud deprive these poor shareholders ot their railway, tbeir palaces, aud tbeir luxuries ot various kinds ? Tbat was the appeal tbat would be made, and that wa* tbe appeal tbat would be listened to. What was now wanted to develop tbe Northwest was uot tbe rapid oonntruotion of tbe main line, but extended railway oommuuication. The early frost* in th* Northwest bad done something to d, predate tbe value ot the Northwest, but while tbat occurrence was to be forever regretted, it wa* also to be deplored that tbe act* of tbe Government aud Parliament bad don* far more than nature to diooouraKa immigration into that country. Tbe bent possible testimony aa to the oapabi.ries of tbe country was that of tbe men who went there to mske tbeir homes, and wben we found these men gat hern gin council and protesting against tbe burdens imposed upon them by tne Government, something was radically wrong. No tangible reason had been tdvaiotd for such extraordmaiy haste in ooustruoting this railway. Althougu tbe company were to be advanced thirty millions with which to complete tbeir road by tbe ecd ol 1M85, it wa* not proposed to bind tbe oompauy to complete their line by tbat time. Tbe country could not be induced to believe tbat the sole reason for advancing thirty millions to the cjm pany was to enable them to complete their road within two yearn. In his opinion, tbe Minister bad made out no case. K the company wanted such great favors they should be prepared to give up something. Let them give up the-ir odious monopoly. It would be better for tbe company if tbe full details regarding tbeir position should be made known. Further ii >|uiry WH necessary before even those who were friendly to tbe proposal should be asked to vote away such vast sums ot money. Therefore, be could not give his tsseut to tbe passage of tbe resolution*. Mr. Ivea moved tbe adjournment of tbe debate, and the House adjourned at 12 :tO. secondly, by I ?y tbe peopl bowed tbat i Ltureutian I company bad < ets'y, snd was asked millions should should alo be given respecting tbe rela- tions ot the Pajtiio Railway Compauy to ihe Credit VF?< Oulario A (Quebec, Toronto, Grey 3surnoe, and other Ontario railwtyx Would any sane man believe tbat the Pacific Company were endeavor- ing to provide a winter terminus on Cana- dian soil, when tbey are buying up tbe S utbeadteru Railway's property (or dock purposes at Portland ? Wben the gnarau- iee agreement was disclosed, the country wa* asked to admire the skill o( tbe finance Minister who bad induced the Canadian Pacific Railway to loan tut of their bounty 924 000. 100 to pay tbe ooan- ry'* debts. It was said to be aa admira- )le arrangement, and now, wben tbe tables were completely turned, wben the oompauy were to be given *22 > ~><rO.OOO. tbe oouutry was again acked to admire tbe wisdom and saga city of th* Finance Minister. Tbe guarantee arrangement waa entered into iu defiance of law. It was propoi "\ to give up tbe secu- rity deposited by tbe company to secure tbe fulfilment of their contract, and to reverse tb* order of things by providing that tbe Government shall guarantee interest upon tbe company's stock. Tbe new estimates of th* Government gave tbe cost of tbe entire railway at eighty five millions, while the 'estimate of April last waa ninety-nine millions. This was a discrepancy that required explanation. If tbe contracted line was, as stated by Sir Charles, to cost only sixty six millions, tbe company were to receive from tbe public fifty eight mil- lions in cash in addition to their twenty- five acres of laod, estimated at two dollars an acre. In face of these facts, th* conclu- sion wa* irresistible tbat tbe difficulties of the company were not due to expenditure* upon tbe main line. Be could not accept without explanations the** altered esti- mates. By the new arrangement tbe pub- lie would bave to provide all tbe money to complete the road. Tbe first thicg the company should have considered was tbeir ability to fulfil their obligations to tbe public. They should bave provided for their msin contract before launching out into other enterprise*. They did not make suoh'proviHion. Tbsy went into outnide works. Tbey cannot fulfil tbeir obligations, and tbey come for help to Parliament. If last year's estimates of ocst of road are correct, more money would be required. Tbe newly-proposed loan would not be sufficient to complete the line, and to-night's proceeding gave a pretty correct indication a* to where tbat money waa to come (rom. Seven hundred thousand dollars o( money given to the Canada Pacific Company with which to build tbeir main line bad been expended in sustaining tbe stock ot tbe Northwest Land Company. This was a highly improper application ot tbe company's resources. This money had been used for ths purposes of deception in endeavoring to make it appear tbat the stock ol the Land Company was worth more tban its real value. H* quoted the statement of Mr. Van Home to tbe effect tbat the Canada Pacific Rail- way Company did not know what the Hooky Mountain section was going to cost, and that hi* company had not time to make estimates. ("The Canada Pacific Railway Company bad a big job on hand, and they were going to put it through. If tney bad not money euougb tbey ouuld get more.") Tbat was precisely how a com- pany would talk who felt >bat mcney waa no object , tbat tbe Government of Canada were bound to see them through. It waa tbe duty of the Governmsnt to obtain better and fuller information before enterisg into obligations ef tbis mag- nitude.

A last (Moudaj) night's Vienna cable ersm says: Smoe tbe revolution ot l-l Vieuua has never passed through such a crisis of anxiety and alarm. The Govern ment is in possession ot what it believes to be most trustworthy evidence of a plot to assassinate tbe Kruperor. Tbe dynamite cartridges found in tbe opera bouse are exactly simi lar to those found Dear tbe body o( Detec tive Bloech and in tbe murdered money changer's office. A large quantity ot dynamite was recently ordered at a Pre* burg dynamite factory for tbe Arlberg tun ml. Tbe dynamite was sent by the Wett babu Railroad, tut on its arrival st tb* station iu Vienna one large case weighing one buudred and fifty kilogrammes was miKsiug. The police made a thorough search for it, but iu vain. On Saturday night eight batialioua of infantry stood in their barracks under arm*, prepared for an immediate movement. During tbe whole night no officer was allowed to leave tbe barracks, even for a moment. Ball cart ridges bad been distributed to tbe troope. A reniment of cavalry was also bi Id iu readiness during tbe ui(ht, and their borses were saddled. The Government cousider tne situation most critical.
