Powell of Ottawa.\nThe director ot contracts and later\nthe auditor-general refused to pay the\nbills on the ground that they were\nhigher than arranged for and profits\nwere exorbitant. He asked for a rebate of $2832.\nW. F. Garland, member for -Carleton county, took a hand In the difference and there is on file a warm\nletter concerning the contract.\nI From the correspondence it would\nappear that a requisition waB made\nIn August for 30,000 field dressings.\nWhile formerly orders were placed\nwith English firms, at that time the\nonly available supply was -Bauer &\nBlack of Chicago, who made dressings\nfor the American market. On Aug.\n24 Mr. Garland and Mr. Shaver of\nToronto, representing the firm, called\n' on H. W. Brown, director of contracts.\nMr. Shaver thought the price should\nbe about 18 cents. Mr. Brown was\nInformed that Mr. Powell of Ottawa\nwas the government representative\nand Mr. Garland asked the order be\n\u25a0 given to him. The order was given.\nMr. Brown Btates that during September Mr. Powell sent in several bills\nfor these dressings at 23 cents. Mr.\nBrown refused to certify them as bo\nconsidered the price exorbitant ami\nnot In accordance with -Mr. Shaver's\nstatement, although promising nothing definite In the way of price.\nSubsequently the price was reduced\nto 21 cents, but be refused to certify\nthe accounts at this price.\n\"Finally,\" says Mr. Brown, \"W. F.\nGarland, M.P., called and discussed\nthe matter with me, and assured- me\nwith some emphasis that Mr. Powell\nat 21 cents waB making only 5 per\ncent on the dressings. Mr. Garland\nmade the statement more than once\nemphatically. On the strength of his\nassurance tbat this was so I certified\nlhe accounts us fair and reasonable.\"\nWhen the accounts reached the\nauditor-general he held them up. He\nwrote on iNov. 26 to the deputy rain.\ninter of militia stating that he found\nthe goods could have .been purchased\nfor 10 to CO por cent less from the\nregular wholesale trade, \"and think\nlhat an order amounting to over\n$8000 should not he paid for at retall\nprices.\"\nThe auditor-general points out that\nthe understanding was the profit was\nabout 5 per cent on the transaction\ninstead of about 40 per cent.\nMr. Brown as a result of the refusal\nof the auditor-general to certify the\nnccounts, wrote to Mr. Powell, calling\nattention to the circumstances under\nwhich the contract wns originally given and asking for a rebate of $2822,\nthe amount the auditor-general considered was overpaid, being \"the difference between 31 1-4 per cent profit\nreceived and 5 per cent which Mr.\nGarland represented your profit to\nbe.\"\nMr. Powell evidently showed the\nletter to Mr. Garland, who sent a\nrather warm letter in reply to Mr.\nBrown. Mr. Garland denied having\nany interest in the profits or that he\nhad misrepresented what these profits\nwere.\nMr. Garland's letter was forwarded\n'o the deputy minister bf militia along\nwith a statement from Mr. Brown and\nalso to the auditor-general, adding\nthat he had nothing to retract or cancel.\nMtlDICAL FEE BILL\nWILL BE AMENDED\n(By Dally News Leased Wire.)\nVICTORIA, B.

George P. Graham put a\nquestion to the government. He said\nthat there should be no election until tbe war was over. But in case\n\u2022he government might change its\nmind he wanted to know if the law\nwould enable a person wbo was ab*\nsent from the country to be a candidate.\nHon. C. J. Doherty replied that under the existing law a man who was\nabsent from, the province might still\n'ie a candidate. The bill they were\nllscussing did not affect tbat. It\nmerely removed the disability under\nvhich a member would otherwise be\nby reason of being in the pay of the\ncrown.\nEdmund Proulx of Prescott wanted\nto know if the bill provided for the\ncase of Dr. Beland, who has been\nserving with the Red Cross in Bel-\nuium. Mr. Doherty replied1 that Dr.\nReland's services In Belgium would\nnot Interfere with him holding bis\nleat ln parliament. It might interfere with his receiving his indemnity,\nbut It was an exceptional case and\n-ould he provided for by a special vote\nIn the estimates.\nThis solution was accepted and the\nbill was read a third time without\nfurther discussion.\nGen. Hughes told G. II. Bolvln that\n25.000 combination shovels and shields\n-lad been ordered by tbe government\nfor the first Canadian contingent at\n91.35 each. They had been manufactured by the Mldvale Steel company\nof Philadelphia and shipped to William\nPrice at Quebec.\n'No samples or specifications were\nsubmitted to the British war office\nfor a report, this being unnecessary.\nAll other nations engaged in the war\nwere now adopting similar devices.\nHon.

You have no\ndoubt heard of the victory of the British fleet off the Falkland islands and\nhow the Dresden managed to escape.\nWell, she came to Punta.

She lay close to us, so we bad\n\"Tipperary\" from the time she cume\ntill she left.\nThe climax came at J o'clock today\nwhen H.M.S. uflstol was seen to be\nsteaming in. When the Oronsa, with\nthe volunteers, saw her entering the\nharbor she weighed anchor und commenced to proceed on her homeward\nvoyage. Her captain brought his ship\nto meet the Bristol as she entered.\nWhen the two met you should have\nheard the cheering from the 600.
