Be asserted that the bill permitted the ,
1Goveenment to can out the scheme .
without once referring to the Heuee fee
!powers,. adding, however, the saving -
!clause, that ia to say,' if they could get
ithe money. He declared the proposals
fs,.f the Government to be extravagant,

would be built by the ;Government end
worked. at the -expense of the country, ,
He read from Mr. Cartwright's speech
to show that the latter estimated the
cost of the road at from $150,000,000 to
$160,000,000-, but that !estimate,. it must -
i be recollected, was foonded on. the sup-
:poeitien that the road was to be com-
pIeted .ia seven year. Dr. Tupper
went ;GU ta declare that we had reached
the limits, of possible taxation, and if the-
! liraite of possible taxation, and if the
f present scheme of the Government were
110t strangled in its ineeptiou, it would .
bring financial ruin on the country, He
; was especially hostile to the proposition
: embodied in the bill to aid' Ontaree lines
to connect with the Nippissing and Geor-
' gian Bay link, his ludicrousignorance of
1 the geography of the errantry exeiuig
! the amusement of the House. Some
i idea of the extravaganee of his state-
: menta May .be imagined from the fact
that he declared it to be the intentioD. of
the Government that for the next twen-
ty years the wheIe immigration in the
North-west would be through American ,
-; territory. He urged Government to .
throw over the grants to the Ontario
lines and the Georgian Bay link, and to ,
; coustruct the road at °ace from Nipisaing
i to Fort Garry, asserting that rather than
: reach Fort Garry by usmg the American.
- railroad, we had: better have only the,
, Dawson route as a. meane of communica—
tion with the Northwest. He complain-
ed. there was no clause in the bill to ex.
i
elude American enterpriee. In. conelue
: sion, he professed to -believe the, Gov-
! eminent Was not serious in its proposals.
Mr, Maekenzie granted that the speech
they had jast heard, was moderate com-
pared to some from. Dr. Tupper. '.:1-1e al-
luded to the fact that the latter was a
member of the Government that agreed
-
t� build a road Dot only of 2,700 miles,
-
but I'60 miles more, which they were
. not compelled to build, ana the only .re -
salt of which was that the Ministry of
the day got $360,000 to carry their elec-
.
. tons. As to the allegation that the
course taken in Parliament had prevent-
- ed their scheme from suceeding, he re-
minded Dr. Tupper that a- fortnight be-
fore the session of 1872 dosed Dr. Tup-
per had, from his place in the House, de-
, dared that the Hugh Allan delegation
,was progressing most suceessfally. Was
this true or false ? Was the House wil-
fully deceie-ed ? He went on to expose
the madness arid recklessness of the
scheme of the late Administration, and
repeated the language he had used at
Sarnia ia relation toe the poliey now to be
ineorporated in a legislative measure.
Re ridiculed Dr. Tupper's- objection to
using American lines pending the estab-
lishment of cotninunication through -
Canadiaa territory. He then poiated
out the ample safeguards provided by the
bill for seeurnag the authority and con-
tra of Parliament, and the limitation of
the expenditure on the road to such an
Walla as the resources of the country
rv- . ay justify. It, was not the intentite
' f 'the Government at present to build
'he Eastern section of the road, and -they
,ere determined to utilize the magi:AA-
tent water communicatien along the
lit portion of the route which lay be -
ween Fort Garry and 'the Rouley Moun-
ains. He showed that Dr. Tnpperis
eelzres were incorrect, ancl that as all the
kerk would. be subject to public tender
t would be dune at the lowest expense
.oseible, whatever that expense might
e He stigmatized Dr.. Tapper's. at-
erapts to create a sectional feeliug, and-
/osecl his speech, which was repeatedly
'leered, lay again declaring that they
Vauld not take one step without the
fletion of Parliament.

British Columbiamembers mainly
eci..k part, declaring themselves generally
alterable to the scheme, and strongly

ring the advantages of their Province,
iid the, desirability of pushing the work

Extraordinary Aff in Guat-
emala.
An extraordinary ancl tragical affair
occurred at San Jose de Gu '
atemala on
April. 24. The commendante of the
port, Col. Gonzale'
s on eecount of some
dispute with the Brit-isa Vice-consul,
Mr, John Magee, ordered, the latter, and
also Mr. Mcnicrieffe, agent of the Pacific
Mail. Company, who had else got mixed
up in the affair, to be put M. irons. He
also ordered that Magee should. receive
400 lashes, and, the next day, be shot.
The unfortunate Vice-Oonsul invoked
the protection of his flag be vain;
he
was stripped and given 2Q0 lashes, when,
being insensible, the retnainder of the
punishment was postponed, till the next
day. While the flogging was going on,
Mr. Monerieffe made , his escape, and
sent a special courier to the capital, ask-
ing for Government interference. In re-
sponse, a detachment o troops Undet
Gen. Solent) was despatched to San. Jose
de Guatemala. . These ame in sight
just as Mr. Magee had een plaeed in
position, to receive the remaining 200 *
lashes. The command& te, seeing that
his dawnfall was near a hand, ordered.
his soldiers to fire up n Mr. Magee.
The soldiers hesitated, knowing that
their superior officer wotld. soon go out
of power. Then the i»other wit of
Magee came to his aid, aac1 he said that
if Gonzales would stop fllrtber offensive
proceedings, he (Magee) rould give bun
te letter of protection, aid send. him on
board. the Pa.cific Mail st amer Arizona,
lying in port, in compa y with the con-
sular agent. He could hen make good
his escape to Salvador, Gonzales ac-
cepted the offer and the letter was writ-
ten, but, having obtained. whet he want-
ed, the treacherous tyrant turned and. or-
dered his men to shoot Mr. Magee.
They refused, and. he -then fled to th4
Pacific Mail steamer Ari ona,, which was
lying in port. But, as ti.je commandante
was ascending the side f the steamer,
he was fired upon by some of the pass-
engers, three shots tak1 in effect on dif-
ferent parts of his body He maiaaged
to get into his boat nd was taken
ashore, but liv,ed only a few hours. No
clew to the person who fired. on the
commandente could. be found. Gonzales
was a tyrant, whose a,ets of brutality

tention of the Government, and. his death
