When, as a result of the Pacific scandal that grew out of the rail- way building programme of the gov- ernment which began with Confed- eration, Sir John A. Macdonald was forced to retire from the premier- i ship, his place was filled by Sir Alex- ander McKenzie, He was the first Liberal premier of the Dominion. He coupled the department of Pub- lic Works with his own office, and i thus took charge of the rallway | problem. He was determined to se- cure the consent of British Columbia to a change in the terms which had been granted as a condition of that province entering Confederation. British Columbia was obdurate end | insisted that the promise to build a railway to the Pacific be fulfilled. | When the disagreement became ser- fous the coast province sent its premier to England to protest against the repudiation of the terms of union. The Earl of Carnarvon, who was then Secretary of State, offered his services as arbitrator. His terms meant a compromise for each side, but on this day in 1874 Canada accepted them.
