Blook. 17-11 tf\nPremier Davie arrived in Wellington yesterday oo the afternoon train, aud was the\nrecipient of a great reception. The afternoon was spent in going about the town\nwith the committee of citizens who took the\nPremier in charge immediately upon his\narrival. In the evening a banquet was\ngiven Mr. Davie in tbe Wellington Hotel,\nwhich, considering the short notice given,\nwas one of the best ever put up in the town.\nThe streets were gaily decorated with flags,\netc., and the town generally presented a\nlively appearance. About six o'clock the\nband turned out aud enlivened the proceedings by some very fine selections, Mr. Geo.\nKennedy had a line of flags strung from the\nhotel to the opposite side of the street.\nShortly before the time fixed for the\nmeeting, a procession was formed opposite\nthe Wellington Hotel, headed by the band,\nheaded by the band, and marched down to\nthe hall. Before the procession reached the\nhall, every available seat was taken. Thei\nwas not standing room even for many uf\nthose who had waited for the formation of\nthe procession.\nWhen Mr. Davie entered the hall he was\nreceived with cheers, in fact on every occasion he spoke the audience lost no opportunity to evince its approval of his policy as\nset out by the Premier, and his refutations\nof the various slanders and insinuations of\ncorruption spread abroad by the members of\nthe Opposition.\nMr. A. Sharpe was appointed ohairman,\nand after a few remarks, introduced the\nPremier.\nPremier Davie's Speech.\nMr. Davie, upou coming forward, said he\nwas much pleased with the reception ex.\ntended to him, following so closely upon the\nheels of bis opponents, he b\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD*\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ved then:*\nwould be a number of things that might\nhave seemed wrong and which would require some explanation. He was pleased\nthat the committee had extended an invitation to his opponents to be present, and\ninvited any of the members of the Opposition present to take seats on the platform.\nAt this moment Messrs, T. R. E. Mclnnes,\nC. D. McKenzie, Ralph Smith and others\nput in an appearance. They at once took\na place on the pl\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtform, and Mr. Davie then\ntook up the living issues of the day, which\nare now agitating the minds of the electors.\nHe said that the opponents of the Government had said, uotiulhfully, that the Government punished those districts not returning supporters of the administration. He\ndenied this, aud cited the case of New\nWestminster city and district in proof of\nthe contention. He denied the statement\nthat this district had been neglected; the\nGovernment had done justice in Nauaimo\ndistrict. It is true that aireets in Wel\nlington had not been laid out and paved,\netc., on the townsite, but it was not tlie\nbusiuess of the Government to build streets,\nsewers and townsites. There is a municipal\nact in force in this Province, and the cities\nhave taken advantage of it. It had been\nrepresented to him since his arrival in the\ntown, that the residents of the town-\nsite had applied for incorporation,\nbut through legal technicalities they were\nunable to do so. It was the duty* of the\nlocal representatives to look after such\nmatters, and when suoh disabilities arose, to\nappeal to the Legislature for remedy. The\nrepresentatives of Nanaimo district had not\ndone this, and so far as he was aware, no\nreference was ever made iu the House by\nthese gentlemen as to the requirements of\nthe town or district of Wellington, The\nmembers had entirely lost sight of the real\nwants of their constituents, and devoted\ntheir entire alien.ion lo those larger issues\nwhioh were intended to overthrow the Government. Mr, McKenzie, he understood,\nhad claimed, at, the rcceut Opposition meeting, credit for having secured the new\nschool house although, if his memory served\nhim, it was built iu Mr. Huslum's term as\nmember for the district. However, granting that Mr. McKenzie was right, it was\nevident that the Government was not disposed to ignore the district because it returned Opposition members to the Legislature.\nThe Premier then took up the various\nscandal and other issues, which had arisen\nduring, and since, the past session of the\nLegislature. First, the Baker scandal; the\nPooley scandal, aud what might be termed\nthe Davie scandal. The latter consisted in\nwhat wts called the travelling expenses of\nthe Attorney-General and referred to articles\npublished by the Opposition newspapers.\nAt the time it was first brought up in the\nHouse, he showed to the satisfaction of\neveryone that for every dollar expended\nthe Province got full value in return. He\ntheu referred to the many important criminal cases, and so on, which he had personally taken charge of, aud pointed out that\nhad the oases been given by the Department\nto a reputable lawyer, they would have cost\nthe couutry a muoh larger sum than the\namount paid him, uot to speak of the trustee\non Government business.

He referred to the base\ninsinuations thrown out by the Opposition,\nand the pressing invitation on the part of\nthe Government for a public inquiry at the\ntime. This tbe Opposition refused to accept;\nthey preferred to have the insinuation go\nabroad that the Government was guilty of i Telegram.\nof corruption. However, in this the opponents of the Government had mistaken\nthe spirit of the Government. When the\nlatter question was up in the House, Mr.\nBeaven claimed that such a condition <*f\nenquiry as that asked for liy the Government would be a mere whitewashing\nmachine, aud it, was contended that the\n...cope of the propose.1 enquiry was not large\nenough. However, in spite of the Opposition, the Government did not propose to\nallow these stories of corruption to go unchallenged. A Royal Commission was appointed which would sit shortly andinvesii-\ngate the whole matter of the charges laid\nagainst the ministers in regnrd to the\nNakusp and Slocan Railway. The gentlemen forming the Commission were Sir\nMatthew Begbie, Chief Justice of the Province, and the Hon. George Burbage, Judge\nof the Court of Exchequer of Canada. These\ngentlemen would certainly not be accused of\nother than honest motives. By their report\nhe would be prepared to stand or fall. He\nbelieved that when the report of the Com\nmissioners was issued, it will also decide the\nvotes of a large majority of the electors in\nnext contest.\nThe Bpeaker then referred to the system\nof aiding railway construction in the Province, and showed that in every case the\nGovernment had made the best possible arrangement in the interest of the country.\nHe said that some mistakes had been made\nin the railway property, in the years gone\nby, but until the end of an election the opposition had found no fault. The Governmeut differed from the Opposition !.i th.s\nrespect, in as much as the members of the\nGovernment was willing to admit their mistakes. Tho whole legislature had fallen\ninto un error in regard to the matter of railroad building. The Government had in\nevery way made a much better bargain for\nthe pe*.pie than the acts of the legislature\nstipulated for. Mr. Davie then said the\nN. k 8. railway was the cheapest built line\nin the Province, and he proved this conclusively by comparison of the prioes this road\ncost with that of the other roads in the\nProvince. This too, has beeu p*oved by the\nsworn statement of those expert in railroad\nbuilding. Besides, before the company\ncould get the Dominion Government's subsidy, it would have to come up to the\nstandard of excellence demanded by the\nDominion Government in the caso of every\nroad receiving the Dominion subsidy\nMoreover the C. P. R. has leased the rnarl\nand would not have done so if tbey believed\nthe road was poorly constructed,as it would\ncost too much for repairs and running expenses.\nThe Premier then said he would give an\nopportunity to any opponent of the Government to spetrk, resertiug Che right to reply\nlater on, when he would refer to some other\nmatters of public interest at this time.\nMoKenzie Speaks.\nMr. C. C. McKenzie, ex-member for the\ndistrict, theu came forward and made a\nhalting, fault-finding reply to Mr. Davie.\nIn an effort to show that Mr. Davie ignored\nthe representations of lhe members of the\ndistrict, he said that he himself had made a\nrequest for the appointment of two justices\nof the. peace for the district which was entirely ignored, Mr. McKenzie maintained\nhis former contention that he had obtained\nthe grant for the school. He admitted,\nhowever, that the grant had been voted\nbefore his time, but had run out and was re-\nvoted lifter his election, therefore he was\neulitled to cieriil for it. He tried to prejudice Mr. Davie and the other ministers by\ninsinuating thai they were now going aboii;\nthe couutry electioneering at the expense of\nthe country. The old stock-in-trade arguments of Brown, Kitohen & Co, were re-\nhushed by .Mr. MeKenzie as far as his\nmemory w uld permit, in reference to the\nvarious issues raised by the Opposition.\nMr. McKenzie, during his remaiks, sprung\nwhat he termed a new scandal which he\ncalled the printing scandal. This latter Mr.\nMcKenzie did not seem to understand very\nwell aud then dropped it. He also complained of the $200 deposit which, he said,\nwas maintained by Mr. Davie's Government\nto keep workingmen out of the field. About\nthe only argument he put forward against\nthe Government was, that it was starving\nthe Opposition out. The Government, he\nsaid, had been drawing public monies long\nenough and should give the Opposition a\nchance.\nTho Premier's Reply.\nMr, Davie, in following Mr. McKenzie,\ntook up some of the tilings touched upou by\nthe latter, iu passing and then, dealt with\nthe pruning contract or rather, binding\ncontract. He said tho whole matter had\nbut recently arisen, and wus simply the outcome of a disappointment man,who had had\nthe contract some years ago at about two\nthirds moro lhan is now paid, The present\ncontraot was awarded tor four years and\nhad not yet expired. If there had been\nanything wrong ubnut the binding contract,\nthe matter would have been brought up in\nthe House during the session. Mr. Davie\ncontradicted the insinuation that he was\ncharging up electioneering expenses to the\ncouutry, aud said Mr. McKenzie knew that\nsuch was not the case when he made the\nstatement. Regarding the school grant,\nMr. Davie pointed out, by reference to the\npublic accouuls, that the school house was\nbuilt, and paid for, before Mr. McKenzie\never went near the house.\nMr. John Thompson stood up in the audience and verified Mr. Davie's statement by\nsaying that he (Mr. Thompson) had the\ncontract for the construction of the Fchool\nund that it had been built and paid for before Mr. McMcKenzie's eleotion.\nMr. Davie then urged the meetiug lo elect\na fair minded man.\nThe Doctor Orates.\nRalph Repeats Himself.\nMr. Ralph Smith then followed Dr.\nWalkem, and dealt chiefly with the labor\nquestion. His remarks were almost an\nexact repetition of the speech delivered at\nthe Opposition meeting at Wellington a\nshort time ago, and which appeared in Th\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nAfter speaking a short time,\nBomeone in the audience asked: \"Who is\nyour candidate?\"\nMr. Thomas R. Edward Mclnnes shouted\nfrom his place on the platform: \"There he\nis before you, gentlemen.\"\nMr. Smith said he did not know what he\nmight be, but at present he was not in the\nfield.\nThe Premier Again Speaks.\nMr. Davie, in reply to Mr. Smith, paid\nhim a high compliment, spying hiB speech\nwas one of the most polished and luoid\naddresses he had yet h*urd from a gentleman on his side of politics. Continuing,\nMr. Davie said tho object of himself and\nhis Government was, to see work for everyone willing to work. Unfortunately there\nwere only too many men out of work iu the\nProvince just now, but this could not be\novercome by the Government. It could only\nbe remedied by the further development of\nthe country. Referring to the labor bills\nbrought in by the Government, Mr. Davie\nsaid they were the result of the most careful consideration. He referred to the effort\nof the Government to get assistance from\nthe workingmen to enable them to bring in\na satisfactory labor bill, but were met by\nthe very men who should have assisted them\nin a spirit of distrust; with the sole object\nfrom the beginning, of defeating the Government. He then referred to the famous\nconference between the labor representatives\nand the Government, and said that in that\ncase some of the delegates were seeking\nGovernment appointments and otherB were\nactuated by a desire to do everything in\ntheir power to defeat the Government. The\nGovernmeut had not shirked the labor\nquestions. On the contrary they were aot-\ning the true friends of tho workingmen.\nThey were not persuaded to drop labor\nlegislation by the employers of labor. In\nthe first place the Government desired to\nget the result of the labors of the\nlabor commission then sitting in England. It was also urged that the\ncircumstances in Briiish Columbia were perhaps different to those prevailing in Eng'\nTo meet this difficulty, the Govern-\nDr. Walkem was the next speaker and\nmade a good defense for the Government.\nHe showed that the $200 forfeit was a wise\nprovision; that it prevented combinations\nfrom running men who had no other interest\nto serve except to defeat the will of the\npeople by splitting the vote of the candidates legitimately nominated and plaoed\nin the field. The polioy of the Government,\nhe said, should merit the support of the\npeople throughout the country.\nment set aside $4,000 al the last session to\ncover the expenses of a Royal Commission\nto enquire into the needs of workingmen in\nBritish Columbia. The commissioners will\nbegin their labors in a short time, so that\nby the next session of the Legislature, what\never Government may be returned, ample\ninformation will be at hand upon which a\nsatisfactory labor bill can be based. He\nagreed with Dr. Walkem in reference to his\nremarks on the $200 deposit. Its abolition\nwould certainly militate against the wishes\nof the majority in many cases. He believed\nthat any candidate who wanted to run\nwould have no trouble in putting up the\ndeposit.\nMr. Bryden Speaks.\nThe chairman then asked Mr. Bryden to\naddress the meeting. Upou coining forward\nMr. Bryden was received with prolonged\napplause. He said as yet he had only consented to run in the event of no one else\ndeciding to accept the nomination. However, he had always endorsed the general\npolicy of the Government but since bearing\nMr. Davie's remaiks, he was more favorably\ndisposed towards the Government. The\nneglect of the late members he said was perhaps partly due to the indifference\nof the electois. The people should make\nevery effort to find out tho needs of the district and represent them to the members.\nHe could assure them that he was gratified\nat having reoeived the nomination, but if\nthe people could rind a bellir man to take\ntho position, he would give him his hearty\nsupport.\nMr. Smith Puts a Question.\nMr. Ralph Smith theu asked if the $200\nforfeit object could not be accomplished by\nimposing it on the third man brought out.\nIn his opinion some scheme of this sort\ncould be brought about and thereby overcome the difficulty.\nThe Premier Thinks Not.\nMr. Davie iu reply said that no lawyer\ncould draft a bill, hedged in such a way,\nand be a success.\nMr. Bryden here asked how the third\nman could be determined!\nMr. Davie, continuing, said that that is\njust where the trouble would arise. Besides,\nin many cases the majority of the people of\na district desired to elect a candidate by\nacclamation. The abolition of the S200 forfeit would hive the opposite remit in such\ncases to that desired by the majority.\nMr. R'ioney occupied the platform for a\nfew minutes, and endorted the candidature\nof Mr. Bryden,\nHorrobin ou Labor.\nMr. John Horrobin said in regard to Mr.\nDavie's remarks in reference to the meeting\nof the labor representatives and the Government, he desired to deny some remarks\nmade by Mr. Davie on what transpired at\nthe conference. He said the labor representatives were not after positions, and were\nnot instrumental in breaking up the meeting.\nHe said the trouble arose through the Government refusing to admit reporters. Mr.\nDavie had refused this. He then wandered\nto some side issues, about which he apparently knew nothing.\nMr. Davie Answers Horrobin.\nMr. Davie replied that, as the meeting\ncould see, Mr. Horrobin and other members\nof the commission entered into the convention with distrust. He said the Government\nconsented to the reporters, but it\nwas found that only one paper\nrepresentative could be found, and as the\nother paper was not represented it was\ndecided to keep the reporters out. Mr.\nDavie did not say Mr. Horribin wanted office, but thut gentleman, by his own statement, had shown that it was a question of\ngetting men into positions. The Government waB forced to tell the delegation when\nit had reoeived their absurd resolutions, that\nthey could not treat with them on\nsuch terms. The desire of the delegates\nwas to turn the convention into a political\nmeeting to be used to the disadvantage of\nthe Government.\n[The balance of the report will appear\ntomotrow.] 2\nNANAIMO, B.

It was not paying now but it would do so in the long run.\nThe speuker knew that the citizens of\nthat town would not sell the water\nworks. The electric lighting of Westminster was done by tbe city. The city\ndid the street lighting and the private\niud business lighting. Everything in\neonneetion with the electric lighting system is owned by the city, nnd tlie citi\nzens w*re not ashamed to acknowledge\nit. It hud cost $110,000, and the system\ncould be Bold eusily for a qnaner of a\nmillion dollars. It was in January,\n1891, that t \" street lighting Bystein was\nin uu.; united, uut it wus not until August\nof the same year that the revenue producing portion of tiie system was inaugurated. The city lm.I.tings were lighted\nby 'ho city's own plum. The revenue\nproducing part of tne system had been\nkept back a little by the depression thut\nprevailed, The electric light committee\nreceived, from the council 25 cents a light\nfl night, which totals ;.iS.()00. 'The net cost\nfor eueh lamp wns SO cents a light a nigh'.\nIn Nanaiino it cosl 'S~i cents, Vancouver *! .\ncents and ill Victoria between 32 nnd Hi\nceii's. Nanuimo mid Vancouver were light\ne,i by priv I- companies, Victoria owued\nonly its street lights, while Westminster\nowned its street nnd revenue producing\nlights. So it wus seen that it paid for a\noily to own its own light. When the\nhi -stein was in full running order the\n<\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD ty would have its own light and\nthe system would put $2,000 a year\nin the treasury if present rates were\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDcharged. Iu the dwelling houses there\nwere 1,400 lights, and those using\nthem say they are oheaper and better than coal oil. It cost him in bis house\nSu. 50 a month ull the year round. There\nw*-re no coal oil lamps to knock over ami\nno foul nir from the light. Although\nWestminster had only half the population\nof Victoria (8,0011) it hud as much candle\npower in iis streets, and. in fact, it was\ntin* best lighted city in the province and\none of the best lighted cities on the coast.\nLamps were placed wherever they were\nneeded. Being a public service, it wis\nfreely criticized. The e.y i-ience of Victoria and We*-, minster sho .-d that a city\neon d he lighted le tier and more cheaply\nwhen thesyst- mi.s owned by the city There\nare many other advantages obtained by\ncivic ownership of the electric light system.\nIn public ownership the comfort and convenience of ttie public are considered,\nwhile in private ownership the chief consideration is for tiie dividends of the company, In pulilic ownership the rates were\nmade to suit all.

Once inside\nI had the whole run of the warehouse.\nIt was quite empty, but on the top floor\nsome old sacking had been left, and this\nserved me for a bed, It was dry and\ngood enough for an outcast like me,\nwho knew nothing of comfort and still\nless of luxury. I slept there that night,\nami the next morning I was lucky enough\nto get work (sail mending) at a ship\nchandler's in Cable street, for which he\ngave me my dinner and tea and paid me\nseveiiiience halfpenny into tlie bargain.\nIt was dark when 1 left there between\n7 and ti. and feeling safe with regard to\nPutty I hurried down to Ferryboat\nRtairs as quickly as I could\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDrunning\npart of the way.

He had a long clay\npipe in his mouth, aud 1 judge 1 lie was\nlooking out for T.iras and Dn.ro. who\nhad not yet arrived, I waited in the\nshadow of an archway until he Knocked\nthe ashes out of his pipe und turned into\nthe house, yawning and scratching the\nback of his head. Then I slipped down\nthe alley to the stairs.\nThere was no light to be seen at the\nback of the house. The passage door\nwas shut, and the rickety shu-.tersof tiie\nbay window were closed also for tlio\nfirst time in my remembrance. Under\nthe stairs I found a dry timber where I\nci mid sit secure from observation, and\nthere 1 waited for Taras, He was uot\nlikely to come for five or six hours,\nhaving fixed tiie hour for the pgeap ' of\nhis friends at 2, but I didn't r..i**i * mt.\nIt was a mild, still night. I had nothing else to do after dark but to think.\nand I might just as well sit there md\ndream as anywhere else. I heard Putty\nput up the shutters about 11, and when\n1 went np the alley au hour later I saw\nby the glimmer of light through the\ndirty fanlight over the side door that he\nwas still sitting up.\nA little al'ter tho clock had struck 2 I\noaught sight of a boat coming across\nthe river from the Hotherhiilie side. As\nit drew in to the steps I made out one\nman at the oars and two men in the\nsti rn seat. Then my heart beat quicker, for I felt that Taras was there before\nI he i rd his voice.\n\"We shan't want you any more tonight.\" he said as tho boat ran ashore,\n\"but you will be at the same place tomorrow at tlie same time.\"\n\"I'll be t lere master, no fear. Good\nnight, gentlemen.\"\n\"Good night.\"\nThe boatman pushed oft*, while Taras\nand Drigo groped their way up the dark\nand slipp.ry steps over my head. I\nknew the other was Drigo by the sound\nof his harsh, guttural voice cursing as\nhe stn.nbled.\nAs soon as I dared I slipped from my\nhilling place and ran up the stairs like a\ncat. When I reached the top, I saw\ntheir figures standing up sharp aud\nMick against th\" light farther up the\nalley\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTaras,squart and erect; Drigo.\nwith his head buried in his Blimiklers.\nThey stopped at the side door of rue Joy\nan i rapped lightly. Tlie light from\nwithin fell upon Taras' fair beard as the\ndoor opened. A few words were inter-\neh uiged in a low tone, the door closed.\naii-1 the two men went on, turning the\ncorner tin .er the gas lamp into Sweet\nApple lane. I did not attempt to foi\nlow them, dreading to pass the door\nwhere Putty might still be standing,\nbur,stoo i there with a feeling like the\ncraving for food in my breast until the\nimpulse to overtake Taras and speak to\nhi:ii. even though Drigo were still with\nhim, overcame my fear. Then I ran\nswiftly up tlie alley and along the lane.\nStraining my eyes with mad desire to\nSee him again.\nThey were gone; the lane was empty.\nWhen I reached High street and stopped\nlii.Te, panting for breath, not a soul was\nto be *s tm to the right or left; not a\n,- uud oroke tire dea 1 silence.
