A meeting thoroughly representative of
commercial and-business interests of the eity,1including nearlyhalf the members of the Leglslatlvcsnd the Local Government ,assembled in the Market Hall lust evening
to Ottawa.
On the platform were a number of pro-
minent men besides the delegates, Father Burke and Messrs McQuaI~ie, Read and McCready. '
The chairman referred to the audience
as most, intelligent and re.prcsentative of the business men of the community.
D. S. McRae of The (iuardian acted as
Secretary at the request of the Cllulrlnan.
Donald Niellolson who occupied the
chair outlined the appointment of thc delegation that went to Ottawa as re- presentatives of the Boards of Trade and the Agricultural Institutes of the province. As the result of their work he was assured that two thirds of the lilcin- bers at Ottawa were in favor of a 'l`unnel which has also been endorsed by Halifax, St John, ami Sydney. The province was fortunate ill the lnen who were sent as répresentativcs of Prince Edward Island. It is now up to us to stand together and we will get continudis comunicatlon with thc mainland.
Rev. A. E. Burke was the first-[speaker
of the delegation. He first hunlorously al- luded to the absence of ladies who were unanilnously in favor of n tunnel. The tunnel seemed not a ridiculous proposi- tion, ns some had said but u very reason- able scheme to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Ile acknowledges the sentiments that he had written to the Editor of The Guardian some years ago. The last words of Mr Hughes M. P. was to sec that the people ot l;’. E. I. would unite and stop ilu-ir bickering in working for a common good in the interests of the Province. The heo‘rt of the people of P. E. I. ,beats true l.o.its intel:eaf.s.Some may say the Tunnel is a ridiculous proposition but no man of common sense before whom thc data. was placed but did not say he was n friend of the Tunnel. lic euloglsed the late Hon. George \V. llowlan wllose heart beat true to the interests of the Province, and condemned those wlloattrlbuted base motives for his support of the Tunnel. He knew the city \vu..~+ not behind those \vho charge petty umtives for advocating the Tunnel. The resolution passed at tho meetingheld here some weeks ago was presentcdhy the Speaker to Sir \Vilfrid Laurier before the remaining delegates had come and na-rungelnents were made for a meeting, which was put oil’ for several days owing to the Minto going aground. The Senators and mem- bers at Ottawa are unanimous to assist the province. It had been shown them on that occasion thc manner ln which P. E. I. had been in- duced to enter the Conferleration and the Premier as well as all to whom the dele- gates had spoken had shown the sincerest sympathy and interest in our case. It had been pointed out that the only manner in which terms could be carried out was by rails underneath the Straits and then we could live and uct as other parts of Canada can. Ile outlined the assistance given by the press throughout Canada with barely one ex- ception-in fact with one exception which was blazoned out before the people of Charlottetown. Charles M. Hayes, Man- ager of the Grand .Trunk Pacific llnd pro- mised his assistance and if he can do any- thing he will bc with us in support ofthe Tunnel. M. J. Haney and Mr. Connolly of Connolly Bros had gone over all thc data. Mr.Haney had told him Ile was will- lug nt ally time to put up the security that he would build the Tunnel in six years for $l0,ilU0,000. Iic sent Mr. Butler, assistant chief engineer ofthe. Grand Trunk Pacific and what Ile said was accepted by Sir VVilfrld and by Mr. Fielding. The Tunnel is Ilo\v down to practical politics and is a proposition which ought to have the unanimous support of every loyal man in Prince Edward Island. lie
*___.l_
Sydney Mill Hallflur, where Premier Murray, Archbishop O`Iirien, hadjolned with the Boards of Trade and others in hearty support.He closed by an eloquent plea, apart from politics and from sec- tional jcaiously to stand true for_ the 'only thing tllat will perserve our national life and our national welfare. Let all bury personal and selfish de~lires and elldcavor to pmluotc the colnmon good. It had been said in Ottawa that stllcre was no Klng‘s County men onthe delegation, but Mr. liuzllcs, M. P., and Senator }tobeI~i.son rose and said. We are Kings County men and we are for thc Tunnel. Canada is in liaison with us and if we all work together we will have the Tixnnel a great deal sooner than lnost people expect.
Mr McCrel1dy expressed the regret of
his co-delegtttes and himself that Messrs. Rnttcnbury, Tidmarsll, McLean of Souris land Inman of Montaigne, who had been chosen us delegates bythe Convention had been unahlu to go. The four who had gone to Ottawa had gone not as beggars uskingfor favors but as delegates of the people asking for our ,lust rights, and they had met with a most cordial recept- ion. They concerted a plan to illfiucnce not only the Government but the mem- bers ofParllament, the entire press of thc Country and the representative com- nleroial bodies. Scores of members of both Houses had been spoken to person- ally and been found ready to do usjustice and support, the ’I‘unnel scheme. No other plan such as embankment or car ferry had a.ny foothold at Ottawa or on the main- land. The Pnrliarnent nt Great Britain it- self had not power to close the straits which were apart ofthe high seas. To carry out the car ferry would involve risk- ing millions on an experiment which many believed would fall. His individual ellbrts in presenting the case before _thc Ministers had bcex1__to nllI_>_w the utter inadequacy of the present \vintcr service, to inforce the necessity ol' a strong ice- brenking steamer being immediately got ready, and to construct the Tunnel as speedily as possible as the only permanent and effectual remedy for our isolation. Tile press had responded nubly and from Sydney to the Rocky Mountains with only one ortwo exceptions had endorsed the Tunnel scheme. ln St. John five daily newspapers n.nd the Board of Trade had simultaneously endorsed the Tunnel as A necessity not only for the Island but for the Maritime Provinces and Canada. He paid a hearty tribute tothe four Island members at Ottawa who had prc~ pared the way for the delegation by their speeches in the Commons, and who had shown the delegates every courtesy and rendered thcnl every possible assistance. 'l‘he delegates had nil, he said,'workcd cordially together with all the zeal and energy they could command to carry out the great trust- wllich had been committed to them. ' Nell McQum.‘rie, K.C.,out-lined the work
done at Ottawa and referred amid ap- plause to the united action of both . parties in the local legislature ill demand- ing rl Tunnel and powerful winter steamer. He pointed out, as hc had done at Ottawa, that wllilewve were held to the letter of the contract, lt- had been broken every year by the Dominion Government. The delegation did not dictate the wny in which the contract should bc carried out but pointed to them that the contract had not been fulfilled. The argument that the Province was being depopulated appealed more forcihlyl ‘than any other to the Government and the members. He explained how the delegation had not only prcscntcd` the resolution but ‘ had under- taken to evangeiise the pt-oplc` and the result had been attended with some measure of .sllreess to which those who had read the papers could testify. He showed how a car ferry was not con. sidered ; for a powerful winter strainer
which (uma constructed for the time could be utll zed in other places when the Tun-
refcrred to the support in St.. .lc-llnar<l“°1h}“iI’e°" ”°mPI°t'”d»

Capt. Joseph Read showed that the
stlflbment made that he was not appoint- ed a delegate was incorrect. Ile had been chosen and at first oflk-red to go on behalf of the Government but when he saw that the Ilusiness men could not all go hc went u ith the delegation. It was it peculiar' thing in patriotism and ill politics that the only oppositiim to the 'l`unncl came from I’. E. I. and nearly all from Cllarlottetown. Ile showed that several ofthe must prominent .supporters of the Tunnel scheme were members of the Steam Navigation Co. lIercvic\\'<-il the arguments presented to Sir \’Vilfrid ].nur- icr and i.ln'ir fn\'ol'nble I-lI`ect Ile pointed out that llic Tullncl from lr comulerclal slalnlpcilll would he a. paying illvestlnent. even from the
‘negativc side not to estimate the positive
gains. The principal ol|,ii-lftinn to the Tunnel t'olnl'.~l from Cllarloiii~to\\'ll itself. The owners of the car ferry on the I.akv;~l were getting a bill even wllvn the dele- gation were at iltlnwa, through thc Ilousc to build aTunnel. A1'c\\'elo take what the people in other parts of Canada are dis- carding. The car ferry service to Brulc fronl Clntrlottetolvll in the winter would be a most- dillicull part of the Straits to na\'i|.:atc. It was an absurd proposition. I-Ie outlined some of the objections which were easily and sutisfllctmily allswered. P. E. I. has .l capacity of half a million people and they could be sustained here prosperously if wc had the Tunnel. Ile closed with an appeal for thc cessation of opposition to the ’l`unnel and stand ill line with the remainder of Canada.
I{0n. George Simpson, M.E.C., on be-
cloqul-nt speech in support of better com- munication, pointing out ills' claims of the Province and the nlnsuluie necessity of the Tunnel. _lie closed by moving a. resolution of thanks to the delegation which was seconded by Murdock McKin- non, M.l.,A., who voiced the syrnpatily of Kings County, and unanimously and vo- cifcrousiy carried, thc chairman rclnark- ing that it was the sentiment of the entire Province. ,
The resolution is as follows: resolved
that the thanks of this mass meeting of the citizens of this Province be and is hereby accorded to thc deIe,l_fatilln colnpcs od ofliev. Fntller Burkc,Capt. Read, -I. E. B.
