OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AND coNFEDERA-
TON.
(ERoM AN OCCASIONAL coRREsPoSDEsr 0F THE TRIBUSEI
TORONTO, Feb. 5.-Ihe only question dividing
political parties in this country is, Who is TO handle
the reins of Government The present general cleo
ton has decided this question beyond doubt Al
though there are still abont 40 ont Of the 206 con-
sttuences which have not yet elected their repre-
sentayes the elections which took place last Thurs
day virtually settled the matter IN favor of the Mac
kepzie Administration. The Mackenzie Ministry will
begins its career with the substantial majority of
over 20 in the House Of Commons, and, cOnse-
quently, stands o fair chance of lasting out the
Parliamentary term. BY that time-fye years
hence-a general adjustment Of parties will no
doubt have taken place Ia thing of periodical occur
renee here since the rebellion against the Family
Compact in 1897 OF a new issue may arise-perhaps
the question of Canadian MISUNDERSTANDING
party OF itself against which such residue OF the
old parties as it may not absorb Will have TO COM
bine.
The rock ahead for the Mackenzie Government Is
undoubtedly the Canada Pacific Railroad, the same
rock upon which the last one split. MI Mackenzie
has frankly confessed that 1t IS the INTENTION Oh hs
Administration to Iepudiate the agreement entered
into with British Columbia when that province came
into confederation, and by which IT was stip-
ulated that railroad communication should be
established from ocean TO ocean by 1881.
He urges that execution of such an agreement
il a physical impossibility, and intends to
reopen negotiations with the Province for modified
terms When Mr.. Mackenzie succeeded to Office his
opinion on this subject was well known, and in
fiuentia British Columbiansiwent 30 far as to say
that if the agreement not adhered to the Pro-
vince would secede. But seems that the Attorney
General Of that Province has secured promise from
the present Government Of G5O,O00 toward
the construction OF a dry dock at Esqui-
malt, Vancouver's Island, and latest &C
counts from British Columbia show that
this Is reoonciling the people to the new scheme of
inter-colonial communication. This circumstance
shows by what sender bond the British North
American Confederation lie at present held together
All these things however, will be discussed when

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-AmOng the most important
claims before Congress, not on the ground of
exteIrt but in the way of precedent, are those OF
the contractors for building iron-clads during the
war who, il is alleged, lost money In carrying
out their contracts by of the increase IN the
price of iron and labor and the depreciation In the
value of our currency. There are now before the
House Committee on War Claims bills for relief
amounting to over 81 100000 The first action OF Con-
gress on these claims was through Senate resolu-
ton of March 9, 1865, which instructed the
Secretary of the Navy to institute
an investigation and report to Congress.
This action was followed by what was called
the Selfridge Board, which was in session IN
New-York about seven months. The report was
made in accordance with orders, and the Senate
Committee on Naval Affairs reported a bill carrying
out the findings and recommendations in the report.
The Senate however, refused to pass the bill, but
agreed to substitute paying the contractors IL per
cent above the contract price The House rejected
this bill A conference was asked and bill was
passed March g. 1866, providing for a new Board to
examine these claims upon a particular basis. That
Board reported the bill which became law July H.
1863 paying only out of 40 claimants, on account
| of the strict construction of the act Of 1861.
Biuce then bills for relief in individual cases have
passed one House or the other. The bill now pro-
posed refers the subject TO the Court of Claims and
excludes the SecOrs and other benecares OF the act
