Talks of Legislative Trick.
.'The, senator from Rhode Island
need not take to himself any anxiety
about the report that senators of the
middle west will make when they re-
turn to their state and sdiscuss these
questions with their constituents. He
cannot, by any legislative trick, argue
any amendments that havesbeen voted
upon, confusing the minds Of sena-
tors here who have been exercising
some independence by melting terror
or, timidity."
There was a hasty protest by Sena-

President Sherman to invoke para

HUDSON BAY RY.
An ASSURED FACT
DOMINION GOVERNMENT ISSUES
REPORT DECLARING PRO-
JEcT FEASIBLE.
Will Bring Western Canada 500 Miles
Nearer European Markets 3 Route
Involves No Serious Engi-
neerlng Difficulties.

OTTAWA, ont, June l4.-The long
projected railway to Hudson Bay,
which will add new commercial high
way to the great trade routes of the
world and furnish another outlet for
western American export grain, is at
last an assured fact.
The Canadian government, which for
years has been investigating the possi-
bilities Of this route through her un-
known northern empire has issued an
exhaustive report pronouncing the
route feasible for a railway and rec
ommending it as a solution of the traf-
fic, congestion. now threatening west
ern Canada as result Of the phenom-
email growth of the prairie provinces.
This removes the last obstacle in
the way of the project, and as the re-
port comedies with the finding of the
engineers of the Canadian Northern
railway, the early completion Of the
line is certain.
The plan, as presented by the gov
ernment, contemplates the extension
of railway communication from Win
nipeg and Regina to Fort Churchill, on
Hudson Bay, and from there by water
to Liverpool and London Track has
already been laid by the Canadian
Northern and is in operation from
their Prince Albert line to the Sas-
katchewan river at the Pas, leaving q
stretch of only 480 miles from the Pas
to Fort Churchill.
This can be constructed without
serious difficulty, according to the re-
port, and bring western Canada 500
miles nearer to Europe than it is at
present by the Montreal route.
Navigation is possible in Hudson
Bay, it is shown, during four months
of the year, or more than enough time
to warrant the creation of the route
| The Investigations of the interior de.
partment have brought to light the
existence Of several great stretches OF
land suitable for agriculture, together
with wealth Of unguessed resources
in other sections in the way Of tim
Der and minerals.
From all the information dis
!! closed in the records Of the period
that extends from the days which
James Robson spent at Churchill su.
perintending the construction Of Fort
Prince of Wales, over a century and
a half ago, to those which Mr.. Moshe1
spent there recently while superin
tending the construction of the police
barracks" says the report in conclu
sion, ut would appear that Canada
I has at that point on Hudson Bay 8
safe port, open for several months in
each year, and site for a city, with
immense fisheries at it's doors, and
large possibilities as to the develop
ment of the mineral wealth deposited
In It's neighborhood. It would seen
that, after the Saskatchewan is span
ned at the Pas, the construction of {
line of railway to Churchill would no
be unusually difficult or expensive"
