OTTAWA, Canada, May 21.-The de-
bate in Parliament yesterday on the
passage to q second reading of the Pa
cifc Railroad bill, DR.. Tupper protested
against the scheme, contending that il
would involve an outlay of upwards Of
5000, 600, 900. and even then, though
the proposition to temporarily abaneo eon
the section between Nipgon and Nip
pising. 116 miles in length, was adopt
ed, Canada would be dependent sla
months of the year on American lines
for access to the Northwest.
Mckenzie argued that the country
was unable to construct through line
on Canadian soil at present, and he no
tilted the British Jolumbians that they
need not expect that the work would be
prosecuted more rapidly than circum-
stances would admit without increasing
taxation. 91 :
DeCosmos, ex-Premier of British Co
lumbia, in a long speech argued in fa'
vor of constructing sooner line with a
three feet and six and half inch guage
exclusively on Canadian soil, by using
trestle work instead of expensive piers,
and by exercising economy the road
need not cost over $50,0OO,00O, and
could be completed within seven years.
Walker, Vice President of Sir Hugh
Aliens company, stated that the rea-
sons why Sir Hugh's delegation to Eng
land in 1878 failed to raise capital, were
the hostility of the Grand Trunk and
the Paco scandal, which frightened cap
italists from investing in Canadian enc
terprises.
No attempt was made to divide the
house on the measure, and it is probable
that on third reading it will pass unop>
posed, as the Radicals have an over
whelming majority in the lower house.
In the Senate, however. an attempt
will probably bs made to limit the pow
ers given to the Government, and TO SO
amend the measure as to insure an i'm
mediate prosecution of the work on the
whole line from Ottawa river to the Pa
cific.
