RUSSIANS FIRE ON AMERICANS. Many Killed or Wounded in Consequence of the Awful Mistake. The daily papers contained a dispatch, dated Chefoo, August 9th, signelhy Frederick Palmer, telling of a terrible mistake at the taking of Yang Tsung. The despatch says the Russian artillery opened fire on the American troops. Before the mistake was discovered many American soldiers had heen killed or wounded hy the Russian shells. Part of the casualties to the Four- teentli Infantry was the result of the Russian-lire. As the Chinese fled (he regiment entered and occupied one of the Chinese positions. A Russian battery some distance off did not, notice the movement. It opened fire on the position and planted shells on the American troops. The Russians were quickly notified and ceased their fire. The Americans captured the Chinese works. Their casualties are estimated at 70 altogether. Most of these are iu the Fourteenth Infantry. The long march nnd the heat played havoc with the troops, continued the correspondent. Forty per cent of the Ninth regiment were completely exhausted as a result of the march and the fight that followed. The troops will rest at Yang Tsun for two or three days. Then it is to he a rush forward to Pekin. The Chinese are demoralized by their defeats, and no reBt or chance to recover fioni their denioraliza tion is to le given them hy the allied troops. It will be remembered that J. S. Hubbard bought a fine span of draft horsts from John Earle which were at the time noble specimens of equine proportions and strength. Shortly after the purchase one of the animals suddenly took sick and died. The other Mr. Hubbard sold to J. A. Bertois before he left Cascade for Republic. A few days since it, too, took suddenly sick, and tn put it out of its misery, was shot Wednesday morning in the B. C. stables. For the past few months the big horse had been worked at the rock cut. The latest, wildest and baseless rumor sent out by the Grand Forks boom correspondent is to the effect that the B. C. mines of Summit camp has purchased the Cascade Water Power improvements. Last week he had the B. C. mine sold to the C. P. R. When he tears his literary hair and writhes under the weight of an abnormally developed mentality, he can spear any sort of an idea from the surrounding at mosphere. AN IMPORTANT INVENTION That Will Simplify And Revolutionize Telegraphy. Telegraphy hy the use of typewriters in place of the ordinary clicking keys and receivers familiar in telegraph offices has been made possible by two Chicago men, Zal- mon G. Sholes and Alfred C. Gil- more. They have devised a mechanism by which a message written with ordinary spelling on a machine that bus a keyboard exactly like the keyboard of the ordinary typewriter, will be printed if transmitted over a telegraph wire by annther typewriter in the office to which it is sent, hundreds or thousands of miles away. The problem that they have solved is one that has long furrowed the brow of electricians, and the result of their invention can hardly be less than a revolution in the telegraph business. By it the skilled telegraph operator is no longer necessary. Any man, woman or child, for that matter, who can operate a typewriter accurately is enabled to send a telegram, although he or she has absolutely no knowledge of electricity. The land slides on the C. P. R. from the bridge going east to Fife are proving quite troublesome to the railway authorities. It has been found necessary in some places to not only remove many yards of embnnktient from the upper side of the tracks, but to move the tracks out from the banks. A large force has been scattered over this portion of the road the past week making the necessary changes to ensure safety to travelers, and enable trainmen to make schedule time. The article on the 6th page of this issue relative to a railroad into Republic may be taken as expressive of the correct views of President Hill of the Great Northern, and which shows that a route via Cascade is the only feasible one, information acquired by long continued and expensive efforts to discover one more satisfactory. AN ARROGANT RAILWAY KINO SUBDUED. | ON A CLASHINU OF THE POWERS. Officer Dinsmore's official mandates are all right in their way hut they don't weigh enough. His instructions to parties here relative to sanitary matters are simply ignored. The legal play entitled The Queen vs. Thompson, has been continued another week. Cascade public school Monday. opened Collls P. Huntington Will No Longer Make and Unmake Legislatures and Courts. The news of Collis P. Huntington's death, Tuesday, created a sensation in railway circles, and especially in San Francisco, where his movements both in business and in private life have been watched and studied with keen interest. Although Mr. Huntington spent mo��t of his time in the east, he main tained a residence in San Francisco, and there spent two or three months each year. H. E. Huntington left Houston, Texas, Monday night for San Francisco, but was informed of the death of his Uncle, and proceeded east at once. He was Mr. Huntington's personal representative and it is thought that he will succeed to the management of his Uncle's vast possessions. The deceased was either president or director in nineteen powerful railway and other corporations, and at the time of his death was reputed to be worth nearly $40,000,- 000. He was 79 years of age, and it is said he expected, to live fifteen or twenty years longer. The boyhood of Collis P. Huntington was spent in Harwinton, Litchfield county, Connecticut, where he was horn October 22, 1821, in an old-fashioned, dilapidated house in the '"Poverty Hill" district. His mother was a hardworking Christian woman, but the f:ithcr was a man in whose makeup ambition had no part. He was a tinker and traveled about the country mending umbrellas, sharpening razors, etc. The income of the elder Huntington was far to meager to supply Ihe wants of his large family, and when Collis was 10 years old his parents separated. Mrs. Huntington going to make her home with friends, and the children beine placed with different families. Collis made his home with the family of Orza Barbier. Mrs. Barbier was an unusually intelligent woman, and to her training, as Mr. Huntington in the days of his success always admitted, was due the fire of ambition which was early kindled in his breast. Fifteen years ago he returned to his native town and erected a memorial to his mother, Elizabeth Huntington, which will serve to perpetuate his name and his successes in Harwinton, The memorial was in the form of a massive granite chapel, erected at a cost of $50,- 000. When completed, it was presented to the Congregational church of Harwinton, of which Mrs. Huntington was a member. A fire at Nelson, Wash., near the boundary line, destroyed several of its business houses. Qerman Papers Comment on the Possibility. The possibility of a clashing of international interests in China is stiH generally discussed. The Berliner Post's reference to the landing of the British at Shanghai and to- Russia's action at Nithwan, particularly to the latter, have caused some apprehension among the powers, especially in Japan. "It would not be strange," says the Post, "if other powers did likewise, and it would cause a serious complication of the situation if not only Great Britain but others took occasion from Russia's action to adopt steps of far-reaching importance for the future." A Private Telephone System. District Superintendent G. C. Hodge of the Vernon & Nelson Telephone company has given out information that the company had recently secured an important contract from the Miner-Graves people for the construction of a 30- mile metallic circuit private 'phone system between Greenwood and Grand Forks via Phoenix, including connections at the offices of the Knob Hill and Old Ironsides mines there, and at White's camp with connections at the City of Paris and Lincoln mines, thence on to Grand Forks with a branch to the Granby smelter. Work is to start immediately. Fully a dozen private phones will be operated on the system which will be centralized at Grand Forks, the headquarters of the smelter and the different mining enterprises controlled by the Miner-Graves syndicate. Connection with this system will be made with the California mine at Rossland, also owned by the syndicate. The superintendent reports the rebuilding of three miles of line- recently burnt out hy the forest fires between Sheep creek and Rossland. The Kettle Falls Courant plant passed through town one day this week, on its way to the new town of Molson in Washington, where a new paper is to he started by editor Batterson. Chas. Bevis, with two four-horse teams, had charge of the undertaking. Among the social events of the past week were the gatherings at the homes of Mr. and Mrs. G. K. Stocker and Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Turner, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. Justice Rochussen and wife returned from an outing on Christina lake Wednesday. Rev. Mr. McKay, of Eholt, was a guest of Rev.

The Report of the Medical Superintendent of the Provincial Asylum for the Insane at New Westminster is at hand. As a concise, exhaustive and humane statement of the painful circumstances which surround the existence of such institutions it reflects the utmost credit on its compiler, the medical superintendent, Mr. G. F. Bodington. To him also is due no small amount of consideration for the way in which he has dealt with the political economy of the subject. Year after year has he drawn the attention of the government to the over-crowding of the wards and the hardships thrown on the Province by neglect of the patients by their relatives and friends, the result being, a coi'siderablestaudingexpense to the country, a menace to the adequate working if the asylum and a drawback to the comfort and prospecls of those patients who, for various reasons, have no hope for outside attention or reasonable chance of cure. ance incurs disease, and folly brings in hardships. In fact, the whole system is perfectly automatic and the "punishment fits the crime" with a perfection that indicates divine origin, and saves trouble to the recording angels; and when, in the natural process, the mind is called upon to bear a greater strain than its failings have deputed should be its exact due insanity supervenes and the solace of a Btrange somnolence spreads its shadow over all. Attention has already heen directed hy the editor of this paper to the startling facts connected with the number and length of stay of the Chinese patients at the New Westminster asylum. The proportion in numbers is utterly abnormal, being over ten pe* cent of the average male population of the institution. The length of stay of three of these averages almost twenty-five years each, whilst if we consider, fourteen of (hem we find their average is over thirteen years of useleSf ex] ense and drain upon the resources of the Province of British Columbia. The remedy appears, judging from results, difficult for the authorities to discover and yet to the average lay mind the natural solution seems to be to ship the whole batch hack to China where they would possibly be welcomed by the Boxers with open arms and so received into a community ten degrees madder than themselves. So mote it be. It is not in my desire and indeed it would ill become anyone to deal lightly with the most terrible disaster the human being is capable of suffering���dethronement of the reason, but it is unquestionable that the , vagaries of mind of the mentally afflicted do occasionally give rise to exquisitely comical situations. It seems to me at times that if there be a hell it must be centered in the human mind, that one's follies, extravagances and crimes all find their origin and their punishment therein. Crime begets remorse, intemper- I do not pretend to know what process of events brought about the following mentioned result but I do contend from my knowledge of the patient that it is perhaps as well that she should never regain sufficient reason to appreciate lucidly the exact value and effect of her surprising antics. Staying at a Belgian hotel a few years ago, I had noticed a fellow-resident, a quiet, staid, maiden lady of about 35, prim and precise almost to u fault. One evening of an early spring and a late carnival, just prior to the last day of the festivities, a small community had gathered in the drawing room discussing or endeavoring to disguise their masquerades for the following day. "And what will you wear?" asked one of the younger ladies of Miss F . "I," she answered with emphatic deliberation, "shall appear as Lady Godiva." Everyone started and then with continental ease bur. t into roars of laughter, and it was generally conceded that Miss F had achieved the joke of the season. outpace the understandings of those presumed to be sane. Years ago in visiting the Lancaster County Asylum, then the abode of some fifteen hundred patients I was suddenly confronted by an energetic being who informed me in one long drawn sentence that he was "The Lord Jesus Christ, Twice King of Heaven and Earth, head carder at Thompson's mill, maker of the human race, flat fish and polonies and inventor of the alphabet." "And this," he added, pointing to an A B C Worked on canvas in pink wool "is the original copy." I was somewhat perplexed at meeting the gentleman, and taken aback replied, "Then I suppose you are his majesty the Emperor of Germany." "Young man," he retorted, "it ill becomes a feeble mortal to scoff thu'sly in the presence of the Most High, go thy way in peace and repentance." I expect there'll he a terrible row when that man confronts Peter. I noticed the twitching of her hands and some peculiarity as to the pupils and irides hut I do not profess to understand old maids any way. Next day she kept her promise and Brussels realized a sensation that Cleo de Merode hardly surpassed in her fish-net frock feat at the Bal de l'Opera. In short the discreet and irreprochable Miss F suddenly made her appearance on The Avenue Louise���that magnificent thoroughfare, the pride of Brussels and one of the fashionable resorts of Europe���on a stylish sixteen-hand horse, her hair flying loose in the crisp spring breeze and otherwise au naturel. She was eventually run in by a most reluctant gendarme who spoke small English but sarcastically remarked that "bear skin did not suit her style of beauty at all at all." Indeed the vagaries < f mind of those mentally afflicted infinitely The hospital ward of the above asylum is furnished with a number of low, heavy, well-rounded, hardwood beds, at the time of which I write it fortunately contained some half-dozen patients only. Five were seriously ill and the sixth, who had cut himself in a most terrible way, owing to jumping through a window the day before, was strapped down in bed and his arms fastened to the side. During the temporary absence of a warder who according to regulations, should on no account have left the room, the wounded lunatic struggled out of bed, and bleeding in half a dozen places, but singing hymns and serenely happy, gathered up his fellow patients, cots, bedding and all and stacked them up carefully one on top of another in the corner of the room. I forget whether it was two or three funerals that ensued. I remember, too, the first time 1 visited that asylum, being caused a considerable amount of uneasiness by some remarks of one of the female patients. "What are you here for?" she asked, "Well���I��� I'm only just on a visit, came to see the place in fact." "Urn," she remarked with a knowing wink, "that's what / thought when I came, wait till you try to get out, that's all. And such was the effect of her words and my surroundings that I actually did feel somewhat in jeopardy until the gate.- had closed once more on the right side of me. Another incident I recall took place at a dance one visitors' night at the Yarra Bend asylum near Melbourne. I was sitting it out with a particularly bright young lady who at first sight certainly gave little outward sign of her malady and made me wonder whether, like myself, she was a mere guest or not. Under such circumstances it is as well to he guarded in one's utterances. However, she broached the subject herself. "You see," she said "I am not really mad, I merely have an objection to closing doors, my people don't like it, so they put me here. I could go out now if I would get up and close that door. But I wouldn't, no, not for the Queen of England. It's servant's work and I won't do it." "One of the worst caoes we have,"' commented the doctor a little later,. "has homicidal tendencies and requires ceaseless watching." Poor girl! And there are scores of people in high circles who have just as much faith in the "Open Door" as she had and no one suspects them of lunacy. But reverting from the actions ot the insane to the realms of reason one takes some pleasure in hearing that Grand Forks and Columbia are apparently in earnest concerning the arrangement for amalgamation. The old system had little to recommend it, in as much as if persistent endeavors on the part of Columbia to prove that the Forkers were all knaves and hy the Forks to show that the Columbians were anything but doves, were continued ���well, by and bye, folks would have believed both parties, and all come to live at Cascade. Besides "There once were two cats of Kilkenny. Each thought there was one cat too many, So they quarrelled aud spit And the scratched and they bit, Till excepting their nulls And the tips ot their tails, Instead of two oats there weren't any." Therefore it is well that the two- should join hands and bury the hatchet, bury it deep too���in the skull and tentacles of their and our common enemy, the C. P. R. Personally I have the utmost respect for both towns. Grand Forks is one of the very few cities in B. C. that has beaten the C. P. R. off its own bat, whilst as for Columbia, well anybody who could sell Chris. Foley a town lot in a frog swamp isn't short of savez to say the least. Here in Cascade, money being the root of all evil, we are secure and virtuous in the halo of our poverty. For is it not said that "the goodness of gold is tried by fire, the goodness of women by gold and the goodness of men by the ordeal of women?" I dont look upon ladies as much of an ordeal myself, but as time checks and a few stray ragged edged dollar hills constitute the whole of our financial currency it is little wonder that the virtue of this community is solid enough to run drilling contests on.

Voters should not forget that it was the anti-Martin element that turned the salmon fisheries on the Fraser river over to the little brown Jap. And they should remember, too, that the newspapers which opposed Martin are defending the government, and the Japs, too. Germany is the first power to kick against the movements of any portion of the allied forces, and proposes to send a strong army to protect its commercial interests in the Yangtze valley, principally at Shanghai and Hankow, against | fancied designs on the part of Great Britain. Martin. Had a sufficient number of his supporters been elected, it would have been otherwise. New railway enterprises would have been encouraged, and steps taken that would Have opened the eyes of the Ottawa authorities to the enormity of the Japanese evil. The Republic Pioneer gave an account in its issue of last week of a meeting held in that city at the instance of John Manly and othere of Grand Forks in the interests of a railway proposition to connect the two places. Mr. Manly tells the Republic people that if the C. P. R. government at Victoria refuses to grant the charter applied for, the city of Grand Forks will extend its city limits to the line at Carson and grant a charter itself. It seems a pity that such means must be resorted to in order to secure a privilege which the government can find no other excuse for refusing to allow than that the granting of such a charter might ultimately lead to competition with a Canadian railway holding a full and "free hand" against the people. "For commercial reasons" the Imperial government is opposed to uny action in the interest of the working classes of Canada that will in the least affect the friendly relations existing between our country and'Japan, so the British Columbia white citizen must submit to being trampled underfoot by the Chinese and Japanese rable. The most ludicrous Tom Fool dispatch that has been sent afloat since that relating to the Japanese government prohibiting its people from immigrating to Canada and the United States, is the more recent one that Kruger is a heavy contributor to the democratic campaign fund in the present presidential contest across the line. What is a Liberal-Conservative ? Is he a mongrel, mule, mugwump or an angleworm ? He must be something like those ultra-Conservatives who want high tariff to protect this country agaitiBt the importation of the products of cheap labor, but insist on the free immigration of the cheap laborers. He would help the capitalist lower wages and raise the price of his products and supplant white laborers with almond-eyed heathens. Only this and nothing less. The present government at Victoria, headed by a millionaire coal mine owner, is a pro-Chinese- Japanese-C. P. R. government. The labor vole should take note of this fact, especially that portion of it which opposed Hon. Joseph The coast Liberal papers,in their attempt to defend the Ottawa government, are making some very humiliating confessions. They say, "what good could be accomplished by a change ? The Conservatives were controlled by the C. P. R. when they were in power, and it would be so again. And what better off would the people be than now., with the same influences controlling the present government ?" This is taking the ground that the Dominion is absolutely and irrevocably the prisoner and slave of that corporation and that there is no escape from it. Can it be so? And if so, is there no relief from such a condition? If not, we should cease boasting of our prowess in war, intelligence in peace, and our fitness for the leadership of the nations of the earth. So long as the Dominion remains the willing slave of a single railway corporation, its voters must necessarily be either imbeciles or knaves, or both. TOWN AND BOUNDARY NOTES. A fire at Columbia, Wednesday, destroyed the Escal.ette hotel, a livery stable, the Presbyterian church and several other buildings. It was reported in Cascade Thursday that a government inspector had pronounced the smelter dam at Grand Forks unsafe, and ordered the gates opened. Mrs. H. P. Farrel, of-Sand Point, Idiho, arrived in Cascade Wednesday, and is visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Scott, and will remain here a week or so. Boundary ore shipments are steadily increasing. Much anxiety is felt regarding the beginning of operations at the Granby smelter, and the final outcome of that enterprise. Let us all hope that it will prove a success beyond all expectations. On smelter conditions that will permit of the profitable handling of low grade ores hangs the future of this country.

Hill, president of the Great Northern railway, was in "Spokane Friday week and in an interview stated among other things that the Spokane Falls and Northern railway was in a bad shape. Indeed, this is so much the case that the road will have to be practically rebuilt. In order to put it in good shape a large Him will have to be spent in betterments. The work of rebuilding the road will commence immediately, he said. Mr. Hill also stated that the passenger rate on the Spokane Falls and Northern railwav could not be reduced for the reason that the business would not justify it, He stated that a daily passenger train service is to be established from Spokane over the new Kootenay Valley railroad. There will be a passenger train each way every day. The train will run over the main line to Bonner's Ferry and thence over the Valley road to the foot of Kootenay lake and connect with the lake steamers. In speaking of the proposed branch of the Great Northern to Republic, Mr. Hill said: "The Great Northern wishes to build that line as directly as possible from Spokane. That is the naturel way. We now have surveyors at work seeking a route from the Spokane Falls and Northern and hope that one can be found. Understand this proposition: The bulk of ores in that camp are low grade. They must have a low transportation rate to move them. Railroads which have heavy grades cannot iiriake low rates. This is the situ ation exactly. It will accomplish nothing to build a line to Republic the operation of which will require such high freight tariffs as to prevent shipments. We have to get an easy grade into the camp and that we will have if the engineers can find it, and I think they can. When will we build? Well, we will have to find the route first. No. The San Poil route is not considered. Too much grade. It wouldn't pav u* to haul over suoh a grade at prices which would justify the mines in shipping. It would be nice for passengers to ride through the reserve in our cars, but the passenger business at 10 cents a mile would not pay us. I am pretty hopeful that the engineers will find what they are seeking, an easy grade in from the Spokane Falls and Northern. They are working on a new route, and I rather expect they will be successful. When we learn of the route I can talk definitely about construction." Section foremen on the Grand Trunk are required to report to station agents every morning the number of tramps seen the previous day, with a description of each one and the direction in which he was traveling. Estimates brought down by Minister of Finance Turner contemplate the expenditure of $2,250,- 000, or $500,000 more than last year. Among the receipts is an item of $90,000 to be raired by a royalty on coal. Eight million one hundred and sixty-two thousand dollars in gold were shipped from New York to London Wednesday.

Standerton, Transvaal, Juno 2r>, 11)00. Mr. Angus Cameron���Dear friend: I write you to let you know how we have been getting along. When we left. Durban, we went by train to Tugela, on the border of Zulu- land, and joined the rest of Strath- conn Horse; then we all matched two dayp to Eshowe, the capital of Zululand, and we went through a most beautiful country; but there -are no white eeUleris of any account, but at Eshowe the British have a garrison, aud it is a most beautiful place; only a few whites; the town ���is not large; about 150 whiles outside of the soldiers. The Gloucester regiments that were besieged in Ladysmith were there recruiting up strength and resting, and they are a fine body of men; we stayed there two days, and we were under orders to proceed 200 miles up country, but we were re-called back to Durban, and we made Durban in three days' inarch, 125 miles. A lot of the horses played out, then we entrained for Newcastle. We went through all the places we used to read about when Buller was trying to get into Ladysmith, nnd it was a frightful country to fight in. If the British army held the positions the Boars did, there is not an army in the world could enter Ladysmith. The country is terrible to take an army through; the hills are from two to five hundred feet high, one after the other, and level land at the top and bottom. The Boars have blown up all the Lridges and culverts, and destroyed the water tanks and ���every place is looted and destroyed. I saw my brother at a station 11 miles below Newcastle, at a place they call Murry's camp. The De vons that were in Ladysmith were there. My brother had two bullets through him, one in the forearm and one in the thigh; he received them on January 6th, the day the Boars tried to take Ladysmith; he is ready for duty again, but he eays he has had enough of it. They are just guarding the railroad at that point. He heard from home that I waB with the Strathcona Horse, so he was on the lookout when we pulled in. We stopped about two hours, so I had not much time with him; he said he did not feel any pain now with his wounds, and he would like to get home. That day, January 6, there were 48 killed, 107 wounded in his regiment. Thev had to drive the Boars out of their trenches twice at the point of the bayonet. The next morning they found 64 dead Boars in and around the trenches they were defending, so it must have been a pretty hot fight. We stopped one day at Newcastle and were inspected by General Murry, and marched for two days through er. ���� o it i c I ^^^^^^^^ lirijiaile, and General Clary's brigade is with ns; we matched with a 25 mile frontage for three days, and took Standerton in the Transvaal on tbe 23d. The Boars evacuated it; they are not making a stand now. The country is level and they have no show, we are slaying a few days at Staiidertoi), and there are 32.000 troops here, and they are skirmishing every day around the camp, and bringing in some Boers all the time, and some are giving up their arms. There are quite a number of our boys sick in tbe hospital; due to the want of warm clothing. The nights are very damp ami cold, often being frosty, with one to two inches of ice. The country here is level and find grazing land. The boys would be ready to go hack at any time as they are getting tired of looking for scrap; the Boars won't stand and the only way is to surround them. There has been another fellow died in Cape Town since we left by the name of Banks. Remember me to citizens of Cascade and tell Charlie Thomas ' I am liable to be there for his Christmas dinner next Christmas, as I think the war will not last long now. The Boars have looted every place they were in, in Natai. The British army will not allow any looting or destroying any property in the Transvaal. They are using them too good for their own good. This is all the news I have to send at present. We cannot get any stamps here as they say letters will go free. If I can get any Transvaal stamps I will send you some, some time. Yours truly, Geo. McKugo. S. C. Richards has purchased a one-half interest in the Observation claim on Huckleberry mountain, from E. MrCamerou and others. W. F. Newton to Newton Copper M.

The July-August heat wave began operations among the Cockney- Bobs of Lon'on, this year. Then it took passage to this coast, and traveling east from here, and last week it greatly improved the undertaking industry of Eastern Canada and states.
