THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY.

OTTAWA, March 29.-ln the House last GSifa
Mr.. Decosmos moved his resolutions generally affirming
the principle that TIE Dominion should proceed mme-
diately and continuously with the Canada Pacific RaiI
way. He dwet at considerable length upon the claim Of
British Columbia to the fulfment OF the bargain made
with her; urged the offer OF compensation little
better than an insult threatened secession and claimed
that British Columbia contributed per head TO tho
revenue than any other province the Dominion yari-
Gus opinions were expressed Mr. Chareton held that to
build railroad through a wilderness with only 10000
people at the end OF IT, would have been dreamed
Of II considered on its merits He referred to the
tardness OF Americans in commencing their tansconti-
mental road, which when built 1000 miles
shorter than the Canadian Pacific would be.
Mr. Reyneal had always held that the road could not bs
built without the people of Canada running themselves
Mr. Workman strongly deprecated any attempt TO hasten
the work ahead of the resources OF the country.
Mr. Jones QHallfax) believed the present Government
on coming Office should have repudlaed the oblgs-
ton to build the Canada Pacific and that the country
would have sustained them in that resolution. Mr. Met

(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.I
WASHINGTON, March 29-No reply has yet been
received from Secretary Robson to the letter of the
o Committee on Expenditures in the Navy Depart
ment asking him to explain bis acceptance OF timc
drafts instead of paying for current expenses III cash.
The Committee has made some further inquiries III
regard to the matter, and find that the drafts IN
ouestion-three in number-were made by Paymas-
ter-General Bradford Chief of the Bureau of Pro-
visions and Clothing, but now acting as fiscal agent
of the Navy Department in London. The drafts
were made payable four months after date, and after
beng accepted by Secretary Robson, were caShed
by a New-York banker. Those TO which rel
erence has been made amount to about $780,
600. 1t is understood that Secretary Robson
has promised to communicate with the Committee
on this subject next week, and says that he can
satisfactorily explain these drafts and show that he
had authority TO accept them on time as he has
done. A knowledge of the method of supplying
United States fleets in foreign waters with money
NAV throw some light on this transaction. Fleet
paymasters, instead Of drawing upon the Navy
DEPARTMENT in Washington, obtain their funds
through the fiscal agent of the Department III Lon
don Their drafts are forwarded TO the Navy De
partInent for approval. When they have been
accepted by the Secretary it is customary for HIM TO
return them to London and also to telegraph MS
acceptance whereupon the banker with whom the
Department deposits places sum equal to the face OF
the drafts TO the credit of the fleet paymaster
Should the sum on deposit i'll London at any time be
exhausted and the funds of the Navy Department
be in such condition TO make 1t impossible Tor
Secretary Robson to honor Paymaster Bradfords
drafts to replensh it, it be seen that it might be
necessary for the Secretary to raise money as he
seems TO have done in this No other explana-
tion-and, indeed, no explanation at all-has yet
been given of the transaction.

THE BRAvKsT GIRL OF THE CENTURY
Miss Annie PetZold, the young lady who
was committed to my charge in Bremen
courageously climbed into the rigging, with
my assistance, first climbing through the
rafters and on to the skylight. She did not
lose heart during the whole of that awful
night, although subjected to perils under
which ordinary women would have given up
all hope. While held her by the waist the
paymaster, who was above us, lost his foot
Ing, and, falling against Miss Petzold, re-
bounded from her shoulder into the dark
wafer and was seen no more, although gall
liant effort was made TO arrest his fall by one
OF the stewards. During our ascent through
the rafters Miss Petzold was nearly choked
she cheerfnlly held TO the rigging and to my
self, never yielding to the despair which
paralyZed the efforts and caused the death of
SO many other unfortunate ladies' While
aIoft an unknown person handed me a flask
OF WHISKY; not being able to draw the cork
with my teeth, broke the neck against n
spar, and, having revived Miss Petzold with
a dranght, took one myself and passed the
Dottle TO the nearest man. DIR. Petzold, of
