\u2014 ESTABLISHED 1364 QUEBEC, FRIDAY, MARCH 20.1908.ONE OENT, ~ Il DEAS A CN \u2014 a Provincial Premier Said to Be Factor in Posstble Overthrow of Laurier Government.\u2014\u2014\u2014 Montreal, March 19\u2014There ia à good deal of talk in local political circles anent the conflict of opinion between the Federal and Local Governments and their respective supporters as to the time when those two Governments will hold their elections.It is notorious that Hon.Lomer Gouin wants to go to the country © just es soon as he gets through with the present session, and that Sir Walfrid Laurier has strong objections to the locals precipitating their elections before the féderala ave ready to go be- for their judges, the electors.The reason of this in easy to im ayine, for the Local Prime Minister in terribly afraid that the Ottawa Govvrnment, following the scandals which are being unearthed at Ottawa, may be stranded high and dry on the rocka, consequently it in reasonable to suppose that if disaster should come to the Laurier Cabinet at the polls the Gouin rombination would also cuffer very severely, nut only on ae count of its own sine, but from the Tact of the local machine being in such close contact with the larger combination at Ottawa.THROW FEDERALS OVERBOARD.This, then, is the way Lomer Gouin reasons out the propositin, and it is quite certain that the Quebec Premier ban about decided to throw the federals overboard, so to speak, and make the plunge alone aud unencum- The Premier of Canada argues, of course, that Mr.Gouin is bound to lose a great many seats, as the Cone servatives have only seven men in.the present hou, and while Hon.Mr.Le Blane claims he will have a good fighting chance to win out before the people.the Liberals, while scouting vo optimistic a claim on the part of cheie opponents, casily udmit that the Opposition may carry twenly-live divi: sions, and in each of the counties lost to the Government at Quebec the Conservatives would of course have a fins opportunit: of winning the same _ counties when the appeal to the led: eral electorate war brought round.WOULD DISREGARD APPEAL.C.A.Gault, M.I.A, for St.An toine, while discussing the probability of a provincial election in the near future, stated to-day that he wai morally convinced that Mr, Gouin and hie supporters would disregard Sir Wilfrid's pathetic appeal to sink or «wim together, and that the local Jette Rior a dissolution at the very earliest \u201copportunity following the prorogation which they will no \u201cSoubt endeavor to hurry along just ax soon as possible, Mr.Gault also thinks that in the Man for a redistribution the Englishspeaking people will get another nent out of the additional representation they purpose yiving to the County of Hovhelaga.SCARCITY OF FOUD FOR INDIANS Fdmoaton, Alta.March 19- Frank NM.Auderson, an old Hudson Bay trader, has arrived here from th Peace River district, He declares t Indians in the north country

sanction the holding of the Sir Frederick Bridge festival of rhurch musto in any of the Church of Engiand edifices of the Diocese, has raised an unexpected difficulty in connection with the noted

Commerce, said: \u2014 \u201cThe emergency circulation is really a German plan.It has {wo prominent ieatures; one, that the circulation shall be used only when a case of emergency arises, such as the crop moving season in Canada; The other that the circulation must be redeemed, There it à time limit.The government will make a charge for this business and itt will not be a very profitable arrangement for the banks.The only excuse in this country for such an undertaking is that we have ono big crop movement each vear.It is not ns il we had diversified erope.Cannda'» wheat and grain had to be moved in a few months.The banks cannot be expected to take the money out of their ordinary business chau- nele, neither can they be expected to keop it idle all the year were the ar rangement more profitable to the banks they might fecl inclined to use it ton freely.QUEBEC STEAMSHIP Co, Steamer \u2018Bermudian\u2019 arrived at New York, from Bermuda, at 8.30 am.yesterday.POMMERY in the

but Sir Wilfrid suggested that when the matter was up the other night there appeared to be an acute division of opinion, and he thought the matter should be further considered, and Thr.Black, of Hants, Mr.Gordan.of Kent, and Mr.Togyie, talked until 6 o'clock, when the House adjourned.; BILLS ASSENTED TO.Assent has been given to the following, among other bills, passed during the session :

reached any definite decision as yet whether they will change the landing place ot the Empresses during the coming season of navigution they are preparing to make a move il that should prove uecessars.A few days ago their agents came bo an agreement with the harbor board at Three Rivers whereby they have leased for a term of years a thousand feet of the new Bureau wharf, at the Trifluvien City.This wharf is most advantageously situated fur the landing of big vessels, nbuting in a straight line on the river being deep envugh at its edge for the entire distance for the biggest vessels to tie up, while there is no current to speak of.It was stated by the steamship authorities yesterday that the wharf was so convenient of access that the Empresses could probably steam direct to the dock without ro quiring any tug assistance, In addi tion to this the C.P.R.has a loop fine around the whole duck front, spurs running down to the river at vither end, aud being connected with a line along the wharves, so that the uddition of very few side tracks and switches would equip it for handling freight.Ever since the question of moving the Empresses from Quêbec came up the \u2018Three Rivers people have been urging the advantages of their port ta the C, P.R., and have offered consid: crabie inducements to the company to go there, of course, in an informal way.eventualities the C.P.R.management have not arrived at any decision in the matier except that the Emprenses ill not come to Montreal, this heing in any event prevented by the present congested state of the wharves here in summer, which is partly owing to the innited accommodation of the docks, und more by the continual work going on {or the ereetion of the new perma nent sheds.No other decision with regard to the Empreases will be come to until the attitude of the Quebec \u2018longshoremen is settled, 1t the gen are content to accept the same Cages that are paid the \u201clon, ahoremen at Montreal then no change will be made.This ultimatum was given the Quebec 'longshore men by Captain Walsh, superintendent of the trans-Atlantic service, and the company nuw say that it is up to the Quebec men to decide, While the \u201clong-horenen appear to be in a some: what belligerent humor pressure is being brought to Wear upon them by the Board of Trade and other commercial bodier of the Ancient Capital to imluce them to accept the altersd conditions rather than lose the port the advaniage of the Empresses.and it is regarded as more than probable thot the men will give in.RAILWAY CONDUCTOR KILLED

examination, and he makes alia the Very sensible declaration, which we must all hope will be ad hered to, that the Government will not lose ity head under prosperous circumstances, and spend money mers.Iv because it has money to spend.\u201cThe surplusen of the last few years, and the increase of our revenues,\u2019 said Mr.Weir, had led people to think that our province could be most liberst and generous in its expenditure, In view of the large publie debt, and the necessary increase of our expenditure from the causes he had referred to, the sur veying and exploration of Crown lands, the construction of colunire- tion roads, the improvement of highways in the older municipalities, the neceasity of larger grants to all branches of our educational institutions, the growing cost of the admin- intration of justice, the larger sums required by our ssylums and charities and other causes, this idea could not be encouraged.\u201d We note thin as a declaration that the exploitation of the public treasury for in- torests will not be permitied, and we shall expect\u2019 Mr.Weir to act up to it, It in nat he principle recognized, or at any rate acted wpon by the Government at Ottawa, or the Liberal administrations in other provinces, but it is à sound une, and it will be quite refreshing 10 find Quebec proving an exception to the general Liberal rule, though it must be admitted that there are some grounds lor sux- tion of any kind for the nick and poor of Quebec and its neighborhood.Hospital yrants from our Proviacial Governments have been always here ; tofore a miserable pittance, and now\u2019 that -the Province is in a good finan., cial position, these grants shouid be largely increased, thus enabling the !

reserve in cave of a crisie, an it wonld easily be withdrawn in cane it was wanted in Canada.He added that the finan.vial troubles of last year had been foreseen and prepared for several months befora the public had any inkling of trouble, amt when the storm broke Canada nwing to the careful.ners and prevision of her banks waa in a comparatively safe position.He spoke of the present situation as still needing the exercise of caution, but the hopes of the future from the prospects of good crop» thin year were bright, and encouraged a cheerful | pacting that it has not been : feeling altogether so in the past.Still there is one thing that makes us a little doubtful, though doubtless | Mr.Weir can explain it.He calcu- {Intes the excess of receipta over all expenditure for the coming year at , 8396,446.20 : at the same time he tells ua that the increased provincial subsidy will provide us with an additional income of close on xix hundred thousand dollars.$89,863.60 to be exact: and he tells us at t same lime that the Department of {ands and Foreata which now give us an annual income of well over a million dollars, will very soon attain over the fwo milllon dollar mark, we may therefore, according to Mr.Weir, fairly calculate on an incease of rev.\u2018enue thin next year to the amount of, say.eight hundred thousand dollars, and yet he only looke forward to a surplus of less than four hundred thousand.Of vourre we understand that there must be some increased expenditure, but to the extent shown by these figures in scarcely compatible with Mr.Weir's professions, THE DOMINION

current year.ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, Under this head the hon.gentleman stated that, on the 30th June, 1897, the excess of our llabilKies over our sssels amounted to $25,491,658.16, while on the 30th June last, this excess was $25.081,013.79, which gave a reduction of $410,644.37.In this latter statement was included the sum of 81,117,675.42, being the amount by which our funded debt wax increaned through the convervion thereof, under the policy adopted just prior to the advent to power of Hon.Mr, Marchand, so that the real net reduction of our liabilities under liberal administration was $1,528,514.70.The total decrease of the liabilities in the year 1906-07 had been $627,187.91.In concluding.the Hon.Treasurer thanked the House for the patience with which it had listened to his re- marke, and dared to hope that the details he had brought to its notice would be of benefit in giving a clear understanding of our financial position.Hon.Mrz LeBlanc followed and began by congratulating the Provincial Treasurer for hin moderate speech, which was remarkable for the absence of definite figures and which was almost as fantastical an those already given by the Treasurer on the huat- ings at Chateauguay and other places since last session.The latter had attempted to compliment his late leader, Hon.Nr.Marchand, but the late Premier's programme was not anything like that of Hon.Mr, Weir's.The member for Laval, documents in hand, made a comparison of the ordinary expenses of the lant Convervative Government with those of the present administration to prove that in nine years the expenditure, under tbe Liberais, had been increared by over half a million dollars a year.There had been a gross increase of five million dollars within that period.remarked the member for Laval and the Government had very litile to show for it.Continuing, Hon.Mr.LeBlanc remarked that Premier Gouin had knowingly deceived the electors of this Province.when he stated at Longueuil, Ste.Eustache and Cha- teauguay, that the present Covernment had not incresesd taxation.He bad even falsified the accounts or cise the public accounts were false, they had to choose between either, (Cries of order ! order 1) Hon.Mr.Gouin raised a point of order, protesting against Hon.Mr.leBlanc\u2019s remarks, and the Speaker remarked that the member for Laval should not argue upon such questions without producing something to prove that the figures, given on those oc.canions by the Premier, were false.Hon.Mr.LeBlanc continued by re marking that he did not allude to the speeches made by Premier Gouin in the House, but to those delivered by the latter before the electors, and he defied him to repeat those speeches here.Notwithstanding what the leader of the Government had stated, at Longueuil and eleswhere, he (Mr.LeBlanc) still insisted that the Government had increased the taxes, Hon.Mr.LeBlanc remarked that be waa obliged to point out those facts and may have been carried away further as possible.Hon.Mr.Gouin, in making these assertions, may have been ived himself, but he had not given the electors the true figures as the appeared in the public accounts.The Speaker here remarked that he did not think that outside spesches should be referred to in this diucua- sion without being supported by figures.Hon.Mr.LeBlanc, continuing his speech, declared that the increased taxes had produced more revenue than the assumed surplus, and gave de tails of the expenditure under the Liberal administration during the past nine years, remarking that although thean details were taken from the publie accounts, they were different from what Premier Gouin had given out to the electors.Hon.Mr.leBlanc, in continuing his remarks, stated that he would move the adjournment of the debate, and when permission would be given him he would prove what he had said that afternoon.He had spoken an the member for Laval and considered it his duty to protest or to pass es an accomplice or a dupe of the Government.He then moved the adjournment of the debate.Hon.Mr.Gouin had no objection tu this adjournment, but remarked that in all his parliamentary experience he had never heard such an extraordinary speech ar that of the member for Laval, who had stated that he had given false statements to the electors of this Province.He had silways given an honest statement of tie affairs of the Province to the electors, but naturally auch statements did not suit Hon.Mr.LeBlanc, who had commenced his remarks by using hig words and ended in excuses.The speech of the member for Laval wax a rather extraordinary one, and he had never heard anything like it from any of his adversaries.After the consideration of a few bills the House adjourned until this afternoon.During the afternoon Hon.Mr.Weir brought down the estimates of the expenditure of the Province of Quebec for the fiscal year ending 20th June, 1909, together with the esti- Public Debt.Legislation.Civil
