651 to say, as the party organs do. that
harmony has bele motored. or even
50
50 ord. r, be to travesty the glaring facts
32 of the situation. The first harmonlous
42 chord of the reconstructed Cabinet
61 organ was struck by Premier Howell.
30 who maists that Mr, George E. Pos-
ter shall be degraded and not again

69 ther the Premier believes Mr. Foster
5034 to- toe under a. clone of den.'Its out oe
all proportloe to his glowing predlc-
33 tion. of a buoyant revenue or not, It is
tie a fact that he is bolding out for Sir
36 Charles Tupper as Minister of Finance.
33 This would, If auocradul, humiliate
Mr Foster properly and *leo require
1712 Sir Charles to seek a constituency for
the Nous,. of Commons Immediately.
Perhaps the best proof of harmony Is

Tupper, published yesterday by the

the moment the K was proposed I

which I entirely concurred. I assured
Sir Mackenzie that I had approached
the conslderatlon of the question whol-

vate consideration to the exigency 'of
what I believed the party and the hest

Before the orders of the day are cal! -

I am not In a position to -day to make
a final announcement In reference to

to -morrow at 3 o'clock• when th,

Mr. Wallace before the motion oould
be put maid : Before the House ad-
journs 1 wish to make a statement.
An article In the Mall and Em-
pire on Saturday last in which refer-
ence was made to the aaonynn,ua let-
terw, attention to w WA him been
called In this House. In that article
1t is stated that there is one mean is
this country who has particular rea-
sons to feel uneasy. 1 have been told
by several members of the House of
Commons that it has b. -ea freely stat-
ed that I am the one man referred to
In the article which has appeared in
The Mall and Empire
From the rumors that are Indus-
trkwsly eireulat• d and what has pre-
viously appen.rd in print, 1 have come
to the conclusion that there Is no
doubt that 1 am the meson alluded
to and aimed at in the statement
which 1 hate Just read, and i have,
further. no doubt from what I have
heard, but I make lh.• statement sub-
jeet to contradiction• that these ruin-
ers and the statement in the Govern -
meet .•rgans have originated with the
Minister of Hailweya and Canals. I
allele to the hon. member for Haldi-
mand (Lir Montaguel, who, I under-
stand. Is Minister of Hallway. and
Canals to day. .Laughter.) Under
rhes. circunistan. •-s 1 have deemed It
right to add to th formal and explicit
denial that '1 gave to the House re-
specting these anonymous letters on
Thursday last a fell statement of ale
the facts and dreumstenets In con-
nection th.•rewlth that have tome tO

or In the early part of the month of
July last, as 1 was re.urning home
from the House of common/O. 1 woo
accosted by $Ir Adolphe Carron, then
Postmaster -General. He told me that
there was a conspiracy of the vilest
kind against him for the purpose or
driving him out of the Government
and ruining his character. He went

communication was In Dr. Muntague's
handwriting.
Dr. Montague, Monk -ally, h ars hear.
He suggested that It would be beta
ter to have the letter submitted to ren
expert In handwriting, and 1, with
his knowledge and at his request,
showed the letter to gentlemen whose
sautes I do nut feel at liberty to men-
tion without their convent, but who
are perfectly well known to Sir
Adolphe ('aron. They were of the
opink.n• without' a doubt, that the
anonymous tepee' was written by Dr.
Montague, and they came to this con-
cluelun un the comparison of Dr. Mon-
tague's letters. which were then sub-
mitted to them. Sir Adolphe Caron
was not yet satisfied. and he suggested
that It would be better to have'tbe
opinion of the best expert that could
be procured. He ascertained that Mr.
Amex of New York was an expert in
the matter of handwriting. well-
known and much thought of, and a
man of the highest reputation In his
profession. Sir Adolphe Caron caused
a photographic copy of the anony-
mous letter and Mg letters which un-
doubtedly were written by Dr. Monta-
gue to be sent to Mr. Ames for the
purp Oise of ascertaining from him whe-
ther, in Ms opinion, the writer of the
six letters was the writer of the
anonymous letter. These six letters I
have now In my hand and they are
subject to the inspection of Dr. Mon-
tague, or of any hon. member of the
House who desires to see them. And
1f deemed proper they will be laid up-
on the table of the Hous. bet, As
some of them are private In their na-
ture. 1 do not feel at liberty to do
that without the consent of the writer.
Mr (Valla then read extracts froth
a r. pert furnished by Mr. Ames, coa-
1 •-ruing the letters, In whieh he gave
the opinion that the six letters and
the ananym..us letter were written Dy
the ,:am, band. and recited the techni-
cal reasoas upon which his conclu-
sion was based. Continuing. he said:
I heard nothing more about the mat-
ter uutll some time toward the end
Of Nun. tuber or beginning of Decem-
h.•r, when Sir Adolphe Caron told me
that another letter similar In ctatac-
ter and purport to the one of Decem-
ber, 1184. had be. sent to the Prime
i/tnlstem, and he Bald it war In the
t�a�tj� ndwritIng an the first letter,
a� la the neeond page the disguise
was apparently thrown nff. He show-
ed me the second anonymous letter
and was clearly of the opinion that it
was also In the handwriting of irr.
Montague. (Dr. Montague. Ironically,
hear, hear.) And Sir Adolphe ('anon
told me he intended to submit It to
Mr. Ames.
I have only to add that when Sir
Adolphe ('aron told me that be had
treason to suspect Messer. Haggart and
Montague of being the Instigators or
writers of the nnonyrn"us lettere, It
recalled to my recollection that some-
where about the time Sir
Mackenzie Howell's rtOverntnent
was formed. Mr. Haggart
eagle to my office -quite an unusual
thing for him to do. for there had
been nothing more than omcial in-
tercourse between us prior to that
time -and expressed the greatest hos-
tility toward Air Adolpbe Caron, us-
ing ver-' violent language in regard
to him. and saying he ought to he
dray. n out of the Government.
I may conclude by saying that I felt
bound under all the circumstances and
the evident attempt that has been
made by Dr. Montague and his friends
to *hitt the .ilium of t41..e anonymous
communications to me to make this
Statement, end 1 must p.altively as-
