the city and county Saint John, in the Province of New Brunswick, contractor, do sdlemn- decisis that on the 20th day of George McAvity not to pay me the balance of my contract until 1 had paid him (McAvity).I said : © Is that the reason I have been waiting for my back pay, and I furthec said that he (Dr.Pagaley) had promised to yive me te: hold back ' three months ago.He said that he had received my letter asking for it, but thought I had re tained it till 1 bad fixed up every thing with George McAvity, and ad- vie me to see him right away.I asked him how much McAvity wunted, and he said he would find ut.1aek- od him about the Core contract lring only 3,000 vards, instead of, as the lan showed, 8.200 varde, in place of 2,000 yards in scows.gave him the plan and contract to look at.He said that the cngineers must lave vhistake somewhere.I anid me every time, He asked me lo come to see him at 9.30 a.m.the next day.\u201cThe next day, 21st Aagust, i waw him at his office at 10.30.Me asked me to eee George McAvity and get things straightened out.He was monet anxious.I told him I had net Ne Avity a dozen times this summer, ard while he spoke in a friendly rianter, he never asked me to see him or tulk- to me I guggested «ending Mr.Baxter in my place.He answered yes, and telephoned to MecAvity that | wus in his office and would wo down 10 see him, and he hoped that things could be arranged without a suit between us.I then went to the York Theatre to ses Mr.Baxter, nnd erked him to go to see McAvity will n message, which he did, and reported to me afterwards that McAvity did mot want anything to do with the dredge, and would not give sny satisfaction.When J saw Dr.Pugsley in the afternoon.and told him, ha raid : * Well, you should not have nent a to arrange the matter.and you had better sev McAvity.\u201d He also asked how much 1 owed him.Î said : * Doctor, T will pay him all Towehim when everything is settled up.Why cannot you wire the department to send my July estimates, rome &1.000, to me, and they there must be sufficient: to hold for NeAvity, rs there ought to be over $50,000 coming to me.\u2019 He said : \u2018Now, Mr.Maves.1 wnnt vou to reitle up with NeAvity, and when that is done 1 will give vou the balance.\u201d \u2018But.\u2019 | said, Doctor, will you nol find out how much I have coming to me ?Please wire to the accountant.\u201d \u2018Oh,\u2019 he waid, \u2018I have the amount at my house at Rothesay, and will bring the account in to-morrow.\u2019 1 asked how much it wan and be replied 856,000.T said, * Doctor, why not wire to Ottawa rnd SE have the July and previous crtimates, ,000, sent to me and retain the 826,000 to pay MeAvity out of * I said : \u2018It cannot be uver 98,006 or 89,000.\u201d He replied that he could nut pay me until 1 had paid MeAvity, ¥ said, \u2018 Doctor, can you, a minister of the Crown, hold my money that way?He said that he thought he could, Well, 1 said I did not think so, and asked him if he knew how much Mec Avity claimed.He eaid he would know in, the morning at JU o\u2019clock.The ollowing day, 22nd August, T again saw Dr.Pugsley at 10 am, He said he was anxious that I shouid see Mo- Avity and fix up matters right away and that he did not wish to \u201cave the affair in the courts.He asked me if I would state whether 1 awed him, McAvity, or not.I asked him #f Me- Avity stated how much he claimed I owed him.He replied, \u2018 No.' Ife then ave me the account, whick he brought rom Ottawn, showing the Government owed me 256,591.63.He then propue- ed, asking me to take his advice, to give me 450.000 on account and pay McAvity, exchanging receints and avoiding the courts, or for me to sre McAvity or he would send for Me- Avity.I said 1 would agree to send for him if 1 could have Mr.Baxter there.To this he demurred.1 then asked him to arrange to have Mr.Me- Keown appointed to investigate na a referee claims that T have for boulders and other things.He said that he could do that, but could not consider any conditions regarding the purchare of the dredge, although he thought very favorably of buving her.T said 1 thought that as T had been used ro badly by kis officials that I should insist on the purchase of the dredge.Ho asked me \u2018How.\u2019 \u2018Well,\u2019 I anid, * Doctor, 1 wrote vou twice nearly two months ago and also told you at Ottawa over three montha ago and you have not anxwerad me\u2018 He said \u2018he was busy.1 said they have not given proper measurement of scows, have not allowed for houlders taken away, rome 30.000 vards out of the one-half of the 400 féet extension, which is roft digging at 90 cents per vard, and when the contract for diguing the Core was given me it stated 5,200 yards in place (I showed hin, the cone tract with plan attached) of 12,000 yards in ncows.and it proved out only 2.000 vards.An I Lad been used so badly I felt that the department would not give me any more work and T wished to get clear of the plant entirely.He raid, \u2018Will von pay MWe.Avity if give you 850,000 on nc- count?\u2019 T anid 1 did not see that I could.He raid, \u2018Well.you go and think it over and come back this afternoon.\u201d At 3.30 p.m.he raw me in Judge Trueman's office and anked me what T had decided.1 ssid, \u2018Tam more convinced than ever, ax [ have wone over the awful usage you have given me by your officials, \u2018 that I wish to rettle up and set clear of the dredge and make a clean awesp.\u2019 He replied that be thought more favorable of the purchase of her, but he could not see hin way clear to have that in the conditions.He said if I would make up a claim by Monday he would take it with him to Ottawa and would place it before the Cahinet on Tuesday and recommend Mr.Me.Keown to adjudicate upon it.1 said.\u2018Doctor, why not buy the dredge, she ir firat-clase and in just the thing for 8t.Johy harbor.having all duplicate and triplicate parts required

the balance of my contract, in consequence, as you stated to me, of Mr.George Mc- Avity, having wired you that I owe him some money.I do not think that this is a consistent position for you to take.Mr.McAvity's bills against me are a personal matter and are different entirely from anything between the Government and myself.I consider that I have overpaid Mr.McAvity to a very large amount.He proposed to have certain conditions carried out by which I would obtain more dredging work and would receive fairer and more equitable treatment from the officials of the department.He has utterly failed in this, and I propose now to force my rights by bringing suit against him to recover You are perfectly aware that Mr.McAvity's claim against me is for percentages on my contracts with your department in consideration of his services in helping me to get a contract and his promise that he would do all in his power to assist me to get others.Knowing this as you do, I cannot understand why you should use your position to hold up the man who has eamed the money that a middleman may exact his satisfaction.I will, therefore, thank you to have the balance of my account, $56,591.63, remitted to me at once, as my work has been completed and certified to by your officers.I may say further that 1 have claims against the department which I propose to forward at an early date, based on improper measurement of the barge loads and also for the extra work of digging boulders of size not contemplated or covered by my contract, together with other items, to all of which I will thank you to give consdera- tion., I remain, yours obediently, where dre upon this euniect and Î St.John, August 22, 1908.have paid him, some $36,000.G.S.MAYES.CONTRADICTA PUCALEY.1 further narrative is made np

PELLETIER, Captain, A.D.C.Spencer Wood, 14th Oct, 19)8 The Quebeg Ahranigle ee QUEBEC, OCTOBER 16, 1908.TO THE ELECTORATE OF QUEBEC.The Ottawa Citizen speaking in general terms on the principle inyolv- ed in the political controversy, strikes the nail on the head as regards the candidatures of Messrs.Power and Lachance, It says that every vote cast for a Liberal candidate is a ! vote for the Laurier Government, and that those casting them know perfect- [ly well that the men they are voting ! for will obey the crack of the whip, \"no matter what their constiturn may | think of them, or of the principle involved in the legislation which hap- peas to be under consideration.They have done it before, and they will do (it again.Under these circumstances, ' our ronfrere goes on to say, it be .comes a clear-cut question with every ; voter in Canada not whether they will support this or that Liberal candidate because hc may be an able man, of a perronally honest man, or ; particularly popular in bin own locality, but whether they will directly vote to retain in rower und perpetuate the administration of the Laurier , Government.It is that administration that is under trial.\u201cThe voters have read and heard the charges against it: they have followed the course of the administration during the past twelve years, and especially its course since 1904.TRE VOTE OF EVERY ELECTOR, IF GIVEN TO A LIBERAL CANDIDATE, WILL MEAN THAT THE VOTER APPROVES OF THE RECORD OF THE LAURIER GOVERNMENT, and desires to allow it to continue its career of | extravagance and corruption.\u201d In Quebec there in not, and cannot be, any question of the ability, the personal honesty, and the local popu- lavity of the retiring members, and present Government candidates, Messrs Lachance and Power, as there can be no question of the possession of similar claims om the copsideration of the electorate of their opponents, Messrs.Hubert Cimon and Wn, Price.- We are disposed to addilt all that the Government organs oni, advanpy on the behalf of thyir.dtiends-on that score, ax we are confitidit chav\u2019 they will make a similar ddtifieion\u2019 with regard to MesgeaLimon \u2018and Trice.Where the divergence comps.in.is in the subserviency fo the party whip of the first-named gentlemen, and the professed independence of it of the others.We have had the experionce during two parliaments of Mersrn.Lachance and Power; we have learned from it that thess gentlemen are in the number of those who \u2018\u2018obey the crack of the whip, no matter what their constituents may think of them,\u201d and we may be reasonably assured that as they have done it be fore, no will they do it again, if once more returned.To what other conclusion can we come, judging by the light of their past record, and comparing what has not been done for our own port with what has heen done for other constituencies else where.\u201cIL,\u201d says the Ottawa Citisem, \u201cthe Government candidate\u2019 is dlected, ha will simply uphold the Government in everything that he does, be it right or wrong.It is a hard thing to say, but the record ol every Liberal member of the late Parliament proves the statement.to the hilt.\u201d We have had twelve years of the Laurier Government ; we have had eight years of the reprexentation of our retiring members, now seeking reelection.Can any Voter interested in the port, be he employer or employ- od, honestly say that he in satisfied with its present condition, or thinks SR \u2014__________] -, advamtagoss to Nv.\" Huns

are fond of repeating that the charges of maladministration against it are \u201cpot proven,\u201d \u201ctittle tattle\u201d; is it necessary to prove that Quebec port is deficient in equipment, and ih | the facilities for the recepijon and despatch of freight ?In it tittle-tattle to say that we are suffering from Government neglect ; that the money which should rightfully have been expended on ua has been squandered on grafters and middlemen ;.that even Bonaventure can Loast of wharves and breakwaters that are useless, and ronds aad bridges built by Dominion money that should have been built by the | municipalities or the Provincial Gov- | ernment, while we are left out in the cold?Every voter who supports Mr.Lachance or Mr.Power virtually declares by his vote that we have nothing to complain of, and that our wrongs are \u201ctittle-tattle\u201d and îm- aginary.The man that does so is a traitor to Quebec.He is alro a traitor to the Liberal party, and a traitor to the country.The Laurier Government, supported by the unanimous votes of every Grit member, has broken every pledge in the platform of 1893; has passed the Autonomy bill: has infringed provincial rights ; attempted to suppress information in public documents by refusing examination to the members of the Opposition : and has holstered up every scandal which inquiry in committee or before the House sought to expose.THE PUGSLEY CHARGES.We publish elsewhere the comments of the Montreal Gazette on the Mayes- Pugsley case ax it appeared after hearing both sides of the case.Since then fresh affidavits have appeared which do not materially alter its first aspect, though they strengthen the position of Mr.Mayes against Mr.Pugsley.We may at once say that a Minister of the Crown has never before been shown up to the public in ro dincreditable a light.We may pass over the reception of 132,000 from Nr.Mayes by Mr.Pugsley, which he admits, and expluins by saying that it was for legal services, That may be all innocent cnough, though it must be admitted that the amount was, on the face of it, a rather large one, and there is no explanation of the nature of the services rendered by Mr.Pugsley to a contractor with the Dominion Govern: mont.Mr.Pugeley admits also that Mayes came io him about a dredging contract and that he sent him to Mr.McAvity.Bo far there need be no dispute about the facta, Bdt Mr.Mayes\u2019 latest affidavit goes further and reveals an unaccountable interest taken by Mr.Pugsley in Mr.McAvitty.Mr.McAvitty seems to have had nothing to do with the dredging operations in question beyond drawing his money.He was supported to have some influence at Ottawa, and in order to secure that influence Mr.Mayes increased his estimate of the cost of dredging from 50 cents per yard to 55 cents, the extra five cents going to Mr.McAvitty for bis \u201cinfluence.\u201d It is to be noted also that this intermediary was wug- gested to, or rather pressed upon, Mr.Mayes by Mr.Pugsley.In other words, Mr.Pugsley, virtually told Mr.Mayes that, if he wished to eecure the contract with the Dominion Government, he must in the trst place make sure of Mr.McAvitty and come to terms with him.Those terms were a rake-ofl of five cents on the yard of the dredging contract, and they necessitated the payment by the country of so much more than it would otherwise have paid.Surely this is disgraceful enough.That a Minister of the Crown should lend himnell in this manner to such a robbery of the country, should be sul ficient to drive him not merely from the Cabinet, hut from political life altogether.But the later affidavit of Mr.Mayes reveals the Minister in an even more disgraceful light.His prime solicitude all throngh appears to be that Mr, MecAvitly, who did none of the actual work of the dredging, who did not put a cent into it, and who had nothing further to do with it than using hin \u201cinfluence\u201d towards the sscuring of the contract, should have the price agreed on lor hi icen.He holds back the money Ottawa for the work done until Nr, Mo Avitty gets hin rake-off.Why wae Nr.Pugsley so tender,y concerned for Mr.MeAvitty ?Mr.Pugaley's denisls and denuncis- tions have been very vigorows.He bee \u2019 Can he honestly || SHALL THIS GO ON?The frightful cost of the Governmentbuilt section of the Grand Trunk Paolfie alarms the company and threatens the country.Why is ii that we have to psy $124,- 000,000 for & road that was cstimat- ed at $31,000,000 ?Ove explanation in to be found in the vevelations with regard to the pur- ebase of the Winnipeg terminals.The Government paid 822,000 for the land from a politicien who had acquired it for 899,000.Profit for the politician, $123,000.Another explanation is to be found in the overpayments for work on the ine.Major Hodgins charred over-pay- ments, snd Mr.H.A.Woods, CE.who looks alter the interests of the Grand \u2018Trunk, vonfirmed his accusation.Said Mr.Woods, in a letter to the Government : \u201cIn nearly every case where the cut.tinge were not entirely all ledge tke estimate given for solid rock is dou ble, or more than double, what it should be.\u201cThess over-classifications are not made through error of judgment, nor upon the decision of the resident or division engineers, who are fully acquainted with the work, but by arbitrary orders from their superiors.\u201d One of the many cases mentioned in Mr.Woods\u2019 letter illustrates the nys- tem.He says that at stations 6030 to 6046 95,000 vards of cutting have been paid for thux :\u201438,000 as rock, 9,500 na loose rock, and 47,500 as sand, when 80,000 yards were \u2018\u201c pure sand\u201d and only 15,000 rock, What the Government paid was this : 38,000 yards of rock at $1.50.857,000 9,500 yards loose rocjg at 80c.4,750

permit Laurier to finish this work ?even carried the war into Africa by claiming that the present exposure is a case w' blackmail by the contractor.That is a personal matter with which the public has little or nothing to do.What à interesting to the public is that a Minister of the Crown was not only cognizant of the scheme to make the public pay some thirty-five thousand dollars more than was absolutely necessary to get the work done, but withheld the Government money from the man who did the work until the rake-off was paid to hie protege.These are the naked facts set befors the people, which admit of neither explanation nor qualification, and it remains to be seen what action Sir Wilfrid Laurier will take upon them.The offence is too flagrant to admit \u2018ol resignation ; if Sir Wilfrid Laurier is in earnest in his professions of hon: esty and care for the public, ks can do nothing else but dismisa the Minjeter who has deliberately lent himsell to the robbery of the Treasury.He cannot say now that no charge has been made against a member of his Cabinet, or that that charge has not been sufficiently proved.THE MAYES CHARGES.Mr.Pugsley, Minister of Public Works, has replied to one part of the charges made by Mr.Gershon 8.Mayes in connection with the St.John dredging contract.He says he acted as solicitor for Mr.Mayes, and that it was in his quality as solicitor that he received the note for $3,000 about which much was sid in the affidavit.This may be ledt for the time being, without saying more than that solicitors seem to get good sized fees at St.John.The payment to Mr, Pugsley, who was not at the time a member of the Laurier Government, was not the serious part of the al- tegations in Mr.Mayes\u2019 affidavit.What concerns the public of Canada is the payment of over $35,933 to Mr.George McAvitty, and the rearon given therefor.The fects as set out in the affidavit are easily understood.Mr, Mayes was a tenderer for certain dredging at 8t.John\u2014the only one, it appears.The price hs asked for the main part of the work was fifty cents a yard.There was delay in awarding the contract.Mr.Mayes spoke of the matter to Mr.Pugsley and was advised to see Mr.MeAvitty.Asa result of action on this advice, Mr.Mayes went to Ottawa with Mr.MeAvitty, saw Mr.Hyman, Minister of Public Works, and got the con- teact, after raising the figure of his tender to B85 cents a yard and with Mer.McAvitty signing the following \\ 3 \u201cAnd whereas, the sald George Mec- Avitty is interested in the eaid contract with the said Greshon 8.Mayen, and

swears that he had to add five cents a yard to his contract price and to pay the sum thus realized to George Me- Avity, president of the Liberal Association at St.John.The amount paid to the president of the Liberal Association was $38,923.In addition, $2,000 went to Mr.Pugsley.How characterstic this is of the Laurier Govérniment.Mr.Strubbe of Montreal received an order for files, He paid $2,315

would certainly mark their ballots for Mr.Cimon.Mr.Aime Dion war next introduced.his oration being both eloquent and to the point.According to the de claration of Mr.Letourneau, the representative of Quebec East in the Local Legirlatude, the Liberal Government.said Mr.Dion, had done great things for this city during ite years of administration.It hed acquired a Jot of ground in St.Roch, on which it proposed to build a post office, and it had done rome dredging along the St.Charles river.Mr.Letourneau, however, like his friends, had neglected to tell the citizenn of Quebec why the Govern.1 the enthusiasm which greeted the Jiferent speakers at last evening's meeting of the electors of Quebec Centre.in the Banlieu of Notre Dame, ix to he taken am a criterion, then Mr, Cimon's election to represent that constituency on October 26th is en assured fact.The \u2018meeting wan scheduled to take place in the Stigmates street com mittee room, but the accommodation there was found totally inadequate to house the gathering which sought to pain admission, so an onen air meeting was decided upon.Mr.J.O.Matte kindly placed his balcony at the disposition of Mr.Cimon, from there the gathering of five hundred people was addressed.The re marks of the different speakers were recrived with constant al lause, al ternating with cries of shame, as the Government was scored for its utter Jack of wincerity with regard to the city and port of Quebec and .its re pn eg Er THE QUEBEO CHRONIOLE Pom How it was that in this stronghold of Liberalism there was need a dictator from Montreal, and how it was they found it necessary to qe elsewhere to find material for à judiciary.We want, said Mr.Dion, representa: tives at Ottawa who will assert them: selves and insist on their rights, and it we lail to elect them we are bound to remain where we are.Nr.Dion then went on to review the Laurier platform, fiwelling at considerable length on its inconsistencies, Concluding he said that the evening's splendid gathering was one of the many signs that the people were awakening to the real condition of things and could be depended upon to support Mr.Cimon ond the progressive policy of the Conservative party.Mr.Matte next introduced the Conservative candidate, Mr.Hubert Cimon, who.on advancing to the railing of the baleonv, was enthusiastically, a tribute he acknowledged immediately the applause had subsided, thanking hin auditors for amembling in such large numbers and also for the cordial reception.He was, he said, in the fight at the earn: eat solicitation of his friends, and he felt assured that the battle he had undertaken was a winning one, as would be realised nn the 26th of.the present month.He had as his opponent, Mr.Lachance, a gentleman of irreproachable character, but one who lacked the independence looked for in a public man.He had heard him spoken of as a brilliant arator and agein heard of him through, the newspapers as delivering eloquent speechen at meetings of national societies.But how is it, asked Mr, Cimpn, we never \u2018war of him uttering a single word on the floor of the House of Commons In 1896, declared Wr.Cimon, the population of

and also for helping to Oefeat the measure providing for the appointment of a French secretary to the Transcontinental Railway Commission.Quebec Centre was entitled to a office, and had not obtained it, because Mr.Lachunce had not the courage to demand it.Mr.Cimon said he had no desire to sail under {alse colors, and declared himself a straight Conservative, but, added the speaker, if the Laurier administration is again returned and is prepared to equip the port of Quebro as it should be equipped, he would vote with the Government.If Mr.Borden was returned he would work for the upbuilding of the city, and should his leader have other _ intentions, he would vote against him.He wan 8 Quebecer before all, and would work to the end for the interests of Quebec.Mr.Cimon again criticized the Laurier administration for neglecting the city, and declared that the demands of Otiawe end the other provinces were while Quebec was always to be depended upon.and as a result nothing Mr.\u2018Cimon

Montreal, October 15\u2014The reception given to the leader of the Conservutive party, Mr.R.L.Bo in Mone treal to-night was enthusinstic in the extreme.toria Hall, Westmount, and the specious auditorjum was taxed to its cas pacity.This was the second time dure ing the t campaign that Mone treal had the opportunity of greeting Mr.Borden.amd if cheers count for anything, the heart of the residential section of the metropolis beats in unison with Conservative * doctrines and principles.Mr.Borden was accompanied by Mr.C.J.Doberty, Conservative candidate for St.Ann's division, aud Mr.Louis Coderre, candie date for Hochelaga, in which constituency Westmount is situated.Long before the meeting opened the which seats a thousand, was filled, and long rows of enthusiastie electors stood in the aisles during the whole of the proceedings.Nr.Borden referred to the newspaper reporis that he was a complete physical wreck ana result of his Ontario campaign.He was glad to present himself as exhibit A as an evidence of good health.He brought a message from Ontario, and that was that Ontario on October 26 will give to the cause of ood government in this country a record major ity.So long as ths Government was maintained by individual responsibil ity, that responsibility would exist, The party syatem must be in the as cendant for many vears to come in Canada and the development of Canadian conatitution was along the exact lines of British parliamentary institu tions.The people of Cansda must, however, be vigilant in regard to the administration of publie affaire.The party system, however, while a 0od svstem might be earried too far.If in the future the Conservatives found their leaders departing from the real principles of constitutional government viz : Honest administration of public expenditures and public lands and the selection of the right men for public offices, without reckoning the ties of party allegiance, then it would be the duty of

Important Change of Policy on the Tapis at Bennett's Auditorium.\u2018The newa that up-town amusement- seekers will be forced to subsist on a moving picture diet for the balance of the season will not prove particularly pleasing to the vast majority of theatre-goers, but such, just the same, is a fact, for, According to present arrangements, next w will be the last of vaudeville at Bennett's Auditorium, and the house will then go in for the moving picture business.This in not a very cheerful prospect for the average citizen who delights to spend an evening at the theatre.Jt seems nothing leas than a catan- trophe that such a magnificent theatre as the Auditorium, one of the finest in the country, whould be em.ploved as a moving picture house, and that in a city of the nize and importance of Quebec it should be found imposible to maintain at least one first-class English place of amuse ment.Theatre managers, of course, are not in the business for their health, nor do they pase as philanth- ropista in providing amusement for the general public, and they cannot go on mupplying hills it the public do not hack them up with support sufficiently large to gnard them against

was on the part of ths \u201cDark Lantern Brigade\u201d in the parliamentary committees, aided and abetted by Bir Wilfrid Laurier.It was all very well for Bir Wilfrid Laurier to throw across the floor of the House the taunt, \u201cWell, you are there and we are here, and what are you going to du about it.\u201d Now Sir of the Government rather than obstruction on the part of the Opposition.If there

industries.No one but an idiot, how- over, would ever dream of such a thing, vet Mr.Fielding boasted of the revenues.The Halifax platform was merely an adaptation suited to the oeeds of to-day of the

plundering of the public domain by the Liboral gang.The lumber deals, the Arctic expedition, the North Atlantie Trading Company were examples of Laurier» work.As to the G.T.R., Mr.Borden raid he had not a word to withdraw of the criticism made in 1903 and 1904.The ery of a Transcontinental for thirteen millions had fallen flat.The G.T.Pwould run to a coat of one million dollars for every constituency in Canada.As to the scandals which had permeated the whole administration they had been treated with a mere shrug of the shoulders and a winning smile on the part of Sir Wilfrid.As to the Conservative prospects he looked to much better things from Quebec than in 1904.The people de sired and expected not only able, but honest administration.Nr.Borden ro- ceived a great ovation on concluding an eloquent speech.FROM ROME Party Are on Incoming Steamer Dominion and will be Given Big Reception.Mr.H.T.Scott and the Canadian athletes who recently won such a brillant victory at the
