He claimed that on the basis On which
Manitoba was made a Province the North-
, west Territories were entitled to $400,000,
and therefore all the requirements for irri-

Mr. Dewdney said that the matter of 160 -

Mr. Haggart, replying to Mr. Casey, said
fit had decided not to bring down incom-
plete returns of the census, but to wait till

the opinion of the House.
The Clerk read the order of the House of
Aug. 13th, requiring Hon. Thos. McGreevy
to attend in his place at 3 this afternoon.
Mr. Speaker—Is the hon. member for
Quebec West in his place?
There was no answer.
Mr. Speaker informed the, House that
:notice had been forwarded to Mr. Mc-
Greevy of the action of the House. He had
also caused a telegram to be sent and had
r eceived from the manager of the Northwest
Telegraph Company information that the
telegraan had been delivered.
Sir John Thompson moved that Mr. Mc-
Greevy, member for Quebec West, not hav-
ing attended this day at his place in this
House, pursuant to order of 13th August, be
taken in custody by the sergeant -at -arms
attending this House, and that Mr. Speaker
do issue his warrant accordingly.
The motion was carried unanimously.
The House went into Committee of Ways
,and Means.
Mr. Foster said he proposed to make a
echange in the item of beer, ale and porter
imported, and also in excise duty upon beer
imade from other materials than malt, SU&
.as sugar, rice or corn. In Canada so far
'beer had always been made exclusively from
malt. The excuse duty has been high upon
beer made from sugar, rice or corn. The
,abject of this was patent to all. Now that
the rasa duty had• been raised one hundred
tper cent. the amount to be leviedbeing two
orients instead of one, it was necessary to
raise correspondingly, in fact it was pro-
tposed to raise it more than correspondingly,
the excise duty upon beer made from sugar,
corn and rice, the object being to prevent
the manufacture of that kind of beer, it
being of a very poor quality, and to preserve
the manufacture of beer from malt.
Mr. Mills (Bothwell)—Will the hon.
gentleman say which is the good quality?
Mr. Foster hoped the hon. gentleman
would not interrupt him. It had been
thought wise to raise the excise duty upon
this kind of poor beer from 5 cents to 10
cents. Therefore, it was intended to add
/6 cents instead of 3 cents, as was proposed,
,!apon imported ales, porter and beer. This
would make the duty upon the British
article when in bottles 38 per cent., and
from the United States about 40 per cent.
Upoxi both the average would be 33 per
cent. When imported in casks the pre-
centage would behigher, as follows : British:
40 per cent. ; United States, 60 per cent
The House would remember that the malt
duty had been doubled, and the revenue
from this industry had been largely in-
creased. It was therefore only fair that
increased protection should be given.
Judges of liquor had told him that excellent
beer was made in Canada from malt, and he
sad no doubt the manufacturers could, if
necessary, supply the whole demand. The
Government proposed to discourage as far
as possible the manufacture of aecohol from
beets and things of that kind.
Resolutions embodying the proposalswere
carried.
Mr. Borden said that in view of the
recent treaty between Spain and the United
States he desired to ask if in accordance
with the convention of 1866, existing
between Great Britain and Spain'Canadian
products would be admitted to Cuba and
Porto Rico oti the mune footing as American
products. Doubt existing in this matter
was causing great injury to Canadian trade
• with these points. He thought the most
favored nation clause should protect
Canada. He also asked if Spain had given
notice of the termination of this treaty, as
• tine year was required.
Mr. Foster said a great many representa-
tions hacl been made to the Government in
respect to this matter. They were trying
to get an authoritative statement from the
Spanish Government. The contention as to
the alleged special concessions could not
hold till1892 because until then the United
States was making no epecial concession to
Spain.
Mr. McNeill askedif it was the opinion
of the Minister of Justice that Canada
would be able to enter into preferential
trade arrangements with Great Britain, not-
withstanding any treaty having the favored
liktion clause which the latter might have
ialth another country.

Mr. Bergeron opposed the proposed con-
struction of the Soulanges cans,' on the north

was asked, as there was already the Beau-

Mr. Mousseau favored the project.
Mr. Mulock urged the immediate improve-

Mr. McGreevy was endeavoring to antici-
pate the action of the committee on the
charges which had been referred to them.
That should not be permitted. He did not
understand it to be the duty of the Crown
to exercise discretion where the Speaker's
warrant had been issued.
Mr. Kirkpatrick considered that the
resignation was null and void, and that
some modification should be made in the
Speaker's announcement.
•'Air. Cameron (Huron), upon the orders of
he day being called, said : I rise to a ques-
tion of privilege. I desire to say to this
House that I have been credibly informed,
and I • believe, that it member of
this present Parliament has been guilty
of trafficking in the patronage of his
countyor his riding by disposing of Gov-
ernment offices for a consideratton. Per-
sonally I know nothing of the matter. I
only desire to say that I have been credibly
• informed. Last evening I notified the mem-
ber of Parliament against whom this com-
plaint is about to be laid that I would to-
day or at some early date bring the matter
to the attention of Parliament. 1 shael read
the statement of charges and then I shall
place it on the table of the House. It is as
follows
1. That in the year A. D. 1888 there was
a vacancy in the position of Government
lighthouse keeper in the Government light-
house on Presque Isle point, county of
Northumberland.
2. That one Hedley H. Simpson was an
applicant for said office.
3. That Edward Cochrane then was, and
now la the member for the House of Coin -
mons for the electoral district of the east
riding of the said county of Northumber-
land, and a supporter of the Government.
Sergeant -at -Arms :
HOUSE ON Commoxs,
OTTAWA, Aug. 20,1831.
The Honorable the Speaker:
Su1,-1 have tho honor to report that I
reached Quebec at 3 p. m., and a,t once made
diligent search for Thomas McGreevy at his
home, his office and other places, and could not
find bun. Later I was informed, on what I con-
sider good authority, that he left Quebec by the
Grand Trunk Railway, but I was unable to find
his destination. I have no doubt that he left
Quebec several hours before I left this city.—
Your obedient servant, HENRY R. SMITH, Act-
ing Sergeant -at -Arms.
4. That in the year 1888 it was corruptly
agreed to by and between the said Edward
Cochrane and the said Hedely H. Simpson
that if the said Hedely H. Simpson would
make and deliver to one James Stanley two
promissory notes for $100 each, endorsed by
some responsible person, he (the said Ed-
ward Cochrane) would procure the appoint-
ment of the said Hedely H. Simpson to the
said office of lighthouse -keeper for the Gov-
ernment lighthouse on Presque Isle Point.
• 5. That the said Hedely H. Simpson, in
pursuance of said corrupt bargain,did make
the said two promissorynotes for 8100 each,
procured their endorsement by a responsible
party, handed them to the said James Stan-
ley, who received the same and placed them
in a bank for the use of the said Edward
Cochrane personally, or for political pur-
poses.
6. That the said Hedely H. Simpson sub-
sequently paid the said notes.
7. That the said Hedely H. Simpson, in
pursuance of said corrupt bargain, received
the -said appointment. -
1. That tho said Edward Cochrane, while
he was such member of Parliament and had
the patronage of the Government in and for
said county, corruptly entered into other
corrupt contracts with other person or per-
sons in the years 1888, 1889 and 1890 ; that
such person or persons would receive from
the Government the position of keeper or
keepers or attendants of other bridges on
said canal; and that in pursuance of such
corrupt bargain and bargains such pay-
ments were made and such appointments
were received.
2. That said Edward.Cochrane during the
periods aforesaid made such corrupt offers
to other persons, which offers were not
finally carried out.
• Continuing, he said: I dont propose to
say anything further on the subjedt
don't propose at present to follow up the
statement I have made by any motion in
this House. I am not the guardian of the
honor and dignity of Parliament. That
responsibility rests on the shoulders of hon.
members on the other side of the House.
Shall leave that responsibility with hon. John Thompson as a, lawyer ex -judge and
Mr. Cameron (Huron) moved that Mr.
Cameron, of Huron, having stated from his
place in the House that he is credibly in-
formed and believes that by satisfactory
evidence the charges preferred by him on
the 19th inst. against Mr. Cochrane, mem-
ber for East Northumberland, can be estab-
lished, that such charges be referred for in-
vestigation and report thereon to Sir
Adolphe Caron, Messrs. Dickie, Tisdale,
Skinner, Mulock, Gerina,n and Cameron, of
Huron. He stated that he had abandoned
the last clause of his charges, which is of a
general nature, on the ground that it was
too indefinite. There would therefore be
only three charges for investigation.
Mr. Cochrane—In answer to the charges
made by the hon. member for Huron against
me in his place in the House yesterday, I
have to say that I am innocent of
the charges merle against me, and that I
never made any corrupt agreement with
• reference to these matters. As to the alle-
gations made in paragraphs five and
six of the second branch of the charges,
I say, as before, that no such corrupt agree-
ment as is stated in paragrah five was made
between me and Goodrich, either directly
or indirectly. I desire, however, in rela-
tion to this charge, to say that Goodrich paid
$200 towards the liquidation of the deposit
which had been advanced by persons other
than myself several years before on the con-
testation of a local election in which I was
not a candidate nor interested except as one
of my party, and none of the said money
was received by me for any personal use nor
for my political benefit other than as above
stated. It had been understood that I
would recommend for appointment to the
bridge an old man naaned Obadiah Simpson.
An arrangement mati made between Simpson
and Goodrich by which Simpson was to
take a life -lease of Goodrich's farm. This
arrangement was in no way for iny benefit,
persoual or political, and I. derived no ad-
vantage therefrom.
Mr. Amyot called attention to matters
relating to the Kingston dry dock. He
said that in 1888, when the dock was pro-
posed, it was stated that the probable cost
would be from $250,000 to $450,000. In
1890 the House was told the cost would be
$318,000, but this year the cost was stated
to be $450,744. There was a strong sus-
picion about that contract. Finally the
name of the contractor was known. In
this case the name of the contractor, Ban-
croft, was unknown. People were asking
who was Bancroft. No clue could be
obtained to his whereabouts. Wasanybody
interested in this contract besides the Con-
nollys ? He did not know. The brothers
had not quarrelled. There might
be some reptile found there. Bow
was it that the Department of Public
Works had been transacting business so long
with a supposed contractor? The Govern-
ment had tried to shield the offenders by
withholding information. That made them
accessories after the act. Many of the
documents in the case were forgeries and
obtained money under false pretensions.
Sir John Thompson said it was under-
stood that notice of these motions should be
given to the Government. That had been
departed from for an unexplained reason.
While it might be true that it fictitious
name had been used, he was able to show
that the public interest had not suffered
thereby, and that there had not been any
lack of precaution. The tender of Bancroft
was $5,000 lower than the next.

ing it was impossible for some members to
hear distinctly. Under the circumstances
he thought the best course would be
for Mr. Cameron to table the statement
to -day, and the attention of the House
would be called to the matter to -morrow.
This was agreed. to.
Mr. Davies said that with respect to the
announcement made by the Speaker at
an earlier stage of the sitting, that he
had received the resignation of Mr.
McGreevy as the member for Quebec West,
and that he had issued his warrant for a
new election, he desired to move a resolu-
lution providing for an inquiry by the
Privileges and Elections Committee into the
statement made by Mr. Amyot that Mr.
McGreevy's scat at the time he tendered
his resignation was being lawfully contested;
if so whether a warrant should have been
issued by the Speaker, and what the prac-
tice in such cases in future should be?
Sir Richard Cartwright, upon motion to
go into Supply, proposed ii: amendment the
following resolution: Resolved, "That it
is the undoubted right of the Committee on
Public Accounts to investigate all circum-
stances connected with the payment of any
of the several sums of money referred to
that committee, and that in the cause of
such investigation no evidence should be re-
fused, on the ground that it may disclose
bnproper conduct or relations on the part of
it Minister of the Crown, or any otherparty,
in connection with such payment."
Sir John Thompson deprecated motions
in amendment to Supply which touched the
privileges of the House. They required
more consideration than coeld be given to
such motions. They were generally of it
political character, whereas any matters
affecting the procsedings could be diSpoSeC1
