The question of concurrence being Fut thereon, the same was, on & division, r«:solveci in the negative. _ _ _ _ How. Mr, AIKINS gave his Bguntion of the causes of the â€"trouble with British Columbia, nameély, the failure to carry out the har%:iq made at the Union, and the undertakings of the Government‘s own bili of :last year. If they had only acted Hon. Mr. CARRALL said, as one of the negotiators of the, first treaty with Canada, he understood it to mean that the Dominion should commence the surâ€" yey, locate the lingâ€" and construct the Pacific Railway as soon as was compatible with its reoou.m%ut in order that the clause should not be too vague, we put in a term of years. t.hx the clause muz: anything it was Canada. should made the portage between the Occident and the Orientâ€"it devised a great scheme, too bi# for the present Government to swallow. Our iders were not the 03M of British Columbia only, but those of the whole Empire. They were large ideas, and the true spirit of that o:gfomnt being mpeotes, there never d have been any reason for a cry of relaxation of téhe tehl:mc‘(;l Tl:)e Government hl.fd t-ru;ou.d ritis umbia v curtly, if . not di oourteousz, in roomngl(r Edgar the moment his authority to treat asked for, their conduct showin&ou of sinâ€" cerity. The result or, as & would say, the * washâ€"up" of the wléxbwu & new treaty betweén Lord rnarvon, Walkem and _ Mackenzie . which was acceptable to our d{‘::ple. ‘The speaker went on to say tha‘, ufix as a British Columbian, he was compell ed to accept and work for this bill, yet he regarded as absurd and almost apâ€" proaching . oriminality, 300 gentlemen sitting in Parliament and frittering away, on branch mad& to connect rivers frozen six months of the year with Canada, on portages, otc., the means of the country. in accordance with that statute, the Briush UoIl;um:inna would h:veh been s«tisti~d. By the provisions of the pre sont bill,. not only was the Ca.nufim acific to be built, but, in order to allay the «liscontent in British Columbia, in couseq:ence of the Government not imâ€" plementing their bargain with it, they now proposed to build sixtyâ€"fire miles of railway on that Island. If this formed any part of the Canadian Pacific Railroad, he for one would not object to the bill, but it was not so understood. . If it did, there would be no necessity for Governâ€" ment to submit this bill. The Governâ€" ment undertakings already were vyery large ; the Georgian Bay branch was to cost $2,300,000 in cash ; then we had to spend two to twoâ€"andâ€"aâ€"half ‘millions a year on the Pacific Rail vay é)ro'por‘ and, in addition to all this lixt{-e ve miles on Vancouver Island hn& to be constructed almost immediately. â€" This . local work :::ld cgu‘:h another twlt:‘n.d-th.lfw m:l; i whi was | & in en innanthes e was t arâ€" rmgomo!:: with British Columbia under the circumstances. Government had no right to assume: an obligation of this kind and pledge the faith ‘of the counâ€" try to the measure. He presumed British Columbia did not expect this mbrukil:s would be carried out, unless sanction by , Parliament. He moved in amendâ€" ment that the bill be read a second tinme this day six months. _ _ T Could the Goorgian Bay railway ever comâ€" pete with the existing lines ? The blame of these expensive works had been thrown.. »a British Columbia, which had, been wreatediasâ€" tooâ€" troublesome and expél‘v“ sive a leogasyâ€"as ifisho alone needed this rmiway and not Canada also. While menibe»s opposed the transâ€"Continental i tou expeusive, they voted for three wanch railways not portions of the main wme. _ This conduct was not logical ; wei reasoning was mot clear and concluâ€" sive. Though a railroad to Nipissing might give us ioe in : summer from frozen northern rivers and lakes was ‘possible,. but that it would make a nation ha could mot ‘see. (Laughter.)

Mr. DICKEY the hon..genâ€" frenpporing this iifle mid he quire agrend for op i quite f with m cond: the frittering away of our resources ranch railroads, not a portion of the (trunk line. The ground of a treaty was the only one posâ€" |siblc upon whigh this | bill could be deâ€" fended. ‘This railway m::d’ a local ling. Lord Carnarvon‘s despatch of the 17th November â€" stipulated that two milâ€" Isons & year should |be: the minimum spent on the Pacific Railway by Canada " from the time at which the surveys are sufficiently completed.‘! The Government, certainly, had given no intimation of the arrival of that period.â€" The expendiâ€" ture of these two millions, therefore, could not be begun till the surveys were completed. Hon. Mr. SCOTT said the two millions on the main land were entirely over and beyond the Island obligation. _Hon, Mr. DICKEY did not think that view correct. Ho apprehended we should take this as the whole expenditure talked of in connection with those ra‘lway works. He mhaintained this was not a treaty, AS the Chief Commissioner of the British Columbia Government (Mr. Beaver) stated in the Legislature on 10th March last, on the occasion of Mr.Walkem laying on the table the report of his ~mission to England, in reply to a member, " Now, if hon. members will read the rsports they will find that no arbitration or legislation k place upon thein, and that the old s (with Canads) remain intact.‘" He ‘ e use of these words again, "Although the â€" British _ Columbia _ Government I‘Ed preserved ~the terms _ intact." hat _ was the view â€" of _ British Columbians, of what was called here a new tréaty, Under these circumstances, he did not see how this Governmeht were justified in puiting this heavy expense on the Dominion for what his hon. friend (Mr. Carrally had truly called a local work. Nor could the principle of allowâ€" ing Government to make contracts, withâ€" out submitting them to Parliament, be defended, except a case of necessity was shown. . in view of the inoogplouneu of the surveys, the commencement of the railway could possibly be left over till next year, and, if so, why should not the conâ€" tracts be submitted to Patliament next Session? ‘That there was no necessity for this bill was quite clear, for construcs tion could not be commenced till after the line was thoroughly surveyed and located. * ag there is plenty of opportunit o.?qr,uéhing the mainland w‘it& ships o’;' any draught of water, and easy of access. The next question is, What is this road for, and what trade will lprin1 up for it hen constructed? The whole country Zm)ugh which it passes is mountainous and barren, but there are some coal mines at Nanaimo. From Mr. Langevin‘s report in 1872‘ who visited that country, we find that about $120,000 ~worth per year were _ shipped â€" fronrt all British Columbia, mostly: to the United States. These mines are near the water so that the railroad would not assist that trade, andâ€"the timber trade, if there is any, is not assisted. m.fi Iâ€" cannot see: nor his any one explained what the 108d is expected to do when completed. Hon. â€" Mr. â€" MACDVONALD, of â€"British Columbia, said the remark of the British Columbia Minister, read by the hon. genâ€" tleman from Cumberland (Mr. Dickey) with reference to that Province having accepted no new terms, and the old terms with Canada remaining intact, was made for & political purpose; that British Cofumbia hbhad consented to the recent terms was quite clear; she had placed the whole matter in the hands of Lord Carâ€" narvon for arbitration, as liis letter to Lord Dufferin, ‘dated 16th Aug., showed. }I:‘.v;rd ;m::, ]:lriti,ilh Sohmbh considered ef ~bound by the terms on with the Government of C‘n:sr:ed The sum mentioned was to spent within that Province when the eys were com pleted, and not befose. ey might be finighed by July or August next, but if this bill should not pass the Government would not haye power to carry on the work. Probably not more than $250,000 could be spent on the Vancouver Island Railway this year in construction, tho\:gl: a good deal might beé expend.ec( in purchase of rails. British Columbia was not anreasonable in this matter. Solong as reuomb‘l:dpmgrm was made with the work she would be content. tide runnu:g ing from four to eight mileés per hour, and ~depth of the water, by the Admiralty charts, something enormous, so that it would be impossible tg})ut down fi‘fl. Now, just fincy a span of a bridge 300 feet or more, and soven of them. ‘That of itself is enough to préclude its construction, ali this work being unnecesâ€" Hon. Mr. READ in approaching this question would only review the commerâ€" cial aspect, as the political had been very fully gone into by other hon. gentlemen who preceded him. What were we asked to do for exundi.x the time for conâ€" -tructin{mtho Pacifi¢ Bulwqr. It was simply this: The Government have agreed in reality to build a line of railway from Victoria ‘*to Nanimo, on Vancouver Isâ€" land, which by water is said ‘to be sixtyâ€" five miles, but b{ the sinuosity of the coast may be eightyâ€"fivre miles, and this ‘nlomide the best water communication in world every day of the year, as there is no frost in that country to interâ€" fere as in this; and, moreover, this can never be a portion of the Pacific Railway without this country is prepared to forego every other improvement to finish a useâ€" less and exceedingly expensive, even if it could be done at once, which I have very great doubts. We could build the road along the which is nearly 200 miles long, to the place where there is some probability of crossing from island to island by spans of bridges and tunnelâ€" ling through the mountsins. ‘The cost would be something enormous to contemâ€" plate. | There would bebhenfin: to be built seven s varying, .

What is this road to cl:g(l) igoothe next question, say 65 miles at $60,000 per mile, amounts mysa,oog,gm It may b’imnidlzm&bo high a figure, it might so, but from experience we know that roads on the Pacific Ocean have cost very much more than that, and when we consider the rate of wages in that country it is not too much an‘d it will be so found, the rate of wages taken from lion. Mr. Langevin‘s report for labourers is $1.75 to $2.00 per day and every other thing in proportion. Now, how is the railroad to accommodate Mih,n gix thousand people? The last census, report says there are 5,959 souls, and for these we are to build a railway costing about $4,000,000, an expenditure perhead of over $650, and taking the number of votes that voted atthelast election and there was a bovero contest, three candidates of the Vancouver Disâ€" trict, the~ number of .rotes polled was 5533 then _ for |:Victoria, â€" the Cepital, ~we ‘find "there was four .candidates, the ~number of votes was m, so that for each voter the cxpen‘i ture will be about $2,600, or twentyâ€"six hundred â€"doilars.â€"The â€"_wholeâ€"scheme is an absurdity, and ahou}g not be carried out.

Well might a writer in the Nation say, who is supposâ€" edâ€" to be Goldwin Smith, as he was interested in that paper, that the Pacific Scandal spoiled a statesman, and . raised up another in his stead that never could be one. This Government, to my mind, is an incapable oneâ€"said so last session, and â€"I have more reason to say so this. ]Z‘}verivl move they make fully convinces me that I am right in the opinion I hold, that they have not either the honesty or the ability necessary for the sivuation. However, I hope this House will resist this measure, and save this country from this enormous unnecesssry outlay merely for hush money, as the original terms of Union will have to be carried out besides ‘The Premier of British Columbia, ‘a few days since, stated in his place in Parlia | ment that there was no relaxation â€"of | the terms, only a little exteusion of time, ,| for which we are to throw away about | ,4,000,000, and do them little or no good. | The thing is too wild and should be deâ€" | fested. If it could possibly do any geod | more than the spending the money in | their midst, we might consider it, but the ,| road being built there could not be | | enough work for a train a month over the ||road.
