Just now the Globe and the Hon. A. G, Mac kay, seeking for material to attack the Government, and. finding none, are en- deavoring to raise a storm over this question, but, as I said some time ago with reference to another subject, it was simply twaddle, and then again more twaddle. The policy of the di lbuee pion has been, and is now, against co tinuing grants or bonuses or pe gis to railway enterprises. The then Op- position went on Se cre the original guarantee he Canadian Northern appa bis ant ic sould repeat" that.action to-m "When we Gains eee power we found the guarantee in existence of $20,000 a mile for 268 miles--$5,360. ,000--but no terminals had beeu provided for. short line leading into the Hutton mine, probably the richest mine in Canada, had not been provided for, A short line from the main line to the Key Inlet on Georgian Bay, the main port to business would come to the railway from the Northwest, liad not been pro- vided for, nor had one or two other short ere lines. terminals at Torontoand Key Inlet wil include large areas of land, buildings. piers, «levators and other en- terprise:, without which the railway at would be not only incomplete, but prac- tically useless. Conseyuently the Goy- ernment agreed to puarantee bonds for Pugsley got into'a lively quarrel, Mr. Taylor warning i he ani done in New Brunswick's Legislature. "You can't bluff me," said the Conser- vative whip.

It was a straight aninees tiunsaction between two parties already } a} rested in a business way. We found the credit of the province pledged with a security by way of mortgage, which, under some circumstances, would be practically valueless. Speaking for myself, I would rather own the short line, 30 miles long, "leading into the aerate mine, than all the rest of the railw "Finding the province already in the position mentioned, and likely to have its security dwindle in value, we ag to the further guarantee of bonds to the maaet I have mentioned, and will 're- ceive in return a mortgage covering the entire line, terminals, short lines and all, in this rehabilitating and making certain the financial position of the pro- vince with regard to this railway. Should it ever come to pass that tho province be compelled to take over this property as mortyagces it will have a property costing a great deal more than the province would have to pay for it, .and complete in every respect, instead of a mere mortgaze on part ofa prop-| erty which would be practically useless, What more need be said ? "Then, so far as the last hours of the session is concerned, this expression is simple nonsense, or, if you like it, more twaddle, The session closed on Tues- day... This bill was introduced and explained on the preceding © Thurs: day. It could have been debated until to-day if the Opposition had wanted to do so. But they did not want to do so : 3 and in spite of that are not ashamed to object to it to-day in order to, as they desire, cast seme odium upon the Gov- ernment.

After witness heard the shot, Moir came im- mediately back into the room. Moir said nothing, but went directly to his own cot an k off his coat.. The witness asked what was the row about ? aie replied it was just as well for the witness to keep quiet. The witness ate around, and found Moir had tak- en a bandolier belt off one of the shel- ves and strapped it around waist. There were 28 rounds of rifle ammuni- tion in the belt. He then filled up his waist and the band of his trousers with more cartridges, taking them from a bag. He put on a regimental coat first, muttering something about teaching, them to interfere with him, He then put ona civilian undercoat, and fillea | pockets of this coat with cartridges While he was filling the pockets he heard someone coming down stairs. He at once picked up the rifle from a cor- ner and flung in some ammunition, LLOYD WARNED, The witness shouted "Hello" three times, "Look out, he's got a rifle Ilcaded with ball ammunition" to Lloyd and Lieut. Morris, who came into the room, and the witness heard somebody say, "Pat down that gun."
