the' report of the deputation recently apPointed
to wait upon, the Minister of Railways to pre -
/tent the memorial regarding the railway in-

cate, and upon the neceseity of building a

Charles Tupper said the Government won
not entertain any proposition to subsidize a
Sault line,' as that Hue would -compete with
the Pacific railway, to whielx the Government
was already pledged. Reconsidered however,
ex-oflicict, that the. Government would nettle;
averse to giving eue4 assistance to the On-
tario re Pacific Junction Railway, in addition
to the aid already given by the •Ontario Gov-
ernment, as would enable it to be completed
as 'it first-class road and a feeder of value
to the. Canadian Pacifle." Regarding the
desired • protection from 'poseible- '
criminatien on the part of the syn-
dicate against Ontario, he expressed the
willingness of the Dominion Ministry to
-
take into consideration any proposition for
additional security Which the Board of Trade
might adopt. The Board therefore drew up
the follawnigndclition tnellitifie 95 Of the syn-
dicate contract and forwarded it. to Ottawa .
