H CROW & MORRIS. -:- PROPRIETORS Vancouver, Aug. 19.—The ser- vicability of the Empresses as auxiliary cruisers in time of war, far which they are designed, has been demonstrated in practical fashion by a regrettable accident, word being received yesterday evening that the R. M. S. Empress of India had been in collision with the Chines warship Huang Tai, a gunboat of the second clasB, famous as a participant in the memorable Yalu River battle, with disastrous results to tbe ironclad Hying the dragon flag. The collision occured 150 miles north of Hongkong last night, and nineteen minutes later the warship sank. One hundred and fifty-three of the Huang Tai's ship's crew were saved by the Empress, which Blood by to render assistance. The captain an 1 13 were drowned. The 0. J'.,?,. oflMal account of tha affairs which follows throws, a little more light on the disaster. "The Empress of India, was run- ing from Shanghai to Hongkong when the accident occurred. Early last evening the liner came up with the Chinese vessel, the Empress traveling the faster of the two. When the Chinese gunboat was off the Empress' starboard bow, the cruiser attempted to orosB the bows of the liner. The Empress immediately reversed her engines,trying to avoid bring rammed broadsides on. The liner sheered off sufficiently to catch a glancing blow. The cruiser struck the EmpresB near the bridge, and in sliding aft carried away some of the upper works of the liner. As she drifted back, the steamer was still working her engines to stop, and still steering to sheer off from the warship. The result was that the starboard propeller of the Empress smashed the Bide of the warship as the latter passed her stern.

Two prizes will be given at the Alhambra Bowling alley every two weeks for the largest score made, There waB a lively debate in the city oounoil last night and the solid phalanx of the supporters of the mayor waB broken up by the defection of Alderman P. J. McKichan, who would not stand for the people's money being wasted without due process of law. The mayor arrogated to himself certain vague powers under the general terms of the Munioipal Clauses Act and bo apparently wished to be in a position to spend money without consulting his council. Aldermen Daniel, Talbot and Armstrong have opposed this polioy right along, but until the eyeB of Alderman McKichan were opened to the real drift of the powers assumed by the mayor he, together wuii Aldermen Embleton and Dunlop, has been found on tbe same side of the fence as Mayor Dean. Coming down to a question of principle .Alderman McKichan could no longer follow his chief, h5wever much he might wish to facilitate his work. In thiB course Alderman Embleton is hesitating to embark, judging from the fact that he spoke one way and voted the other. Alderman Dunlop has, however, the courage of hiB convictions and stood by Mayor Dean whether he had a legal leg to stand on or not, or whether he may or may not be oalled upon to pay a sum of money which will run close into $1000. On the finance committee report being submitted to the council Alderman Daniel objected to two items therein contained, the one being $243 for Thiela' detective nature and another for stenographic fees for E. G. Paulson, the both being expenses incurred by the mayor without consultation with his council iu connection with the Josie boarding house alleged illicit sale of liquors. Alderman Daniel declared that he wanted every one of the council to be put on record. He had legal advice to the effect that if any of the council voted for the bill he would be personally responsible if the bill passed. The items now coming up were but two of others which together would not be under $1000. The mayor had been warned not to inour expense without going to his council and the ratepayers would not stand for it. Alderman Embleton Baid he understood the city would bave to foot the bill but was in favor of laying it over for a week for further enquiry. CONCENTRATOR ONCE MORE To Go Up by January Next. PLANT IS NOW BEING ORDERED T. G. Blackstock on Rossland Camp in General—The St. Eugene Mine- City Solicitor Nelson Baid that as for the Thiols' detective agency bill it was authorized by the police commissioners and the city would have to pay it. As to the stenographer's bill it was unusual and unwarranted and it was left to the oouncil to pay or not as it chose. Alderman Armstrong wanted the report to be laid over for a week. Alderman McKichan agreed with Alderman Armstrong. Mayor Dean here called Alderman Embleton to take the chair and proceeded to point out that under the Municipal Act that the mayor was called upon to enforce the law. He then called upon Chief Bradshaw, who declared that he had-heen instructed to trp?eo;jt. any illicit sales of liquor and that he had failed. That he had been instructed by the mayor to see that there was no gambling and there was no cognizable gambling. That he had never been suspended from duty recently. The mayor insisted that the police commissioners had to see the law enforced and to enforce the law a detective agenoy was necessary. The mayor then went at length into general defence of his general oonduct. which was not attacked. That the police department had been administored this year for $200 less per month than what was the case last year. This fact warranted the employment of a special officer. As to the stenographer, the mayor had been advised by a prominent lawyer that a stenographer wes necessary. A further charge had been made by some alderman (the speaker would not give the name) that gambling was going on. The appointment of a special officer was, therefore, doubly necessary. Tbe mayor emphatically declared that he would spare no expense in oarrying out the law. Consultation with the couucil would have meant that nothing would have been accomplished. An amendment was then moved by Alderman Daniel and seconded by Alderman TJbot to the effect that the two items complained of be referred to the city solicitor for a written opinion re the city's position as to the bills. Alderman Daniel then declared tbat the explanation of Mayor Dean waB unsatisfactory and tbat he pressed the amendment. On a vote being put Aldermen Daniel, Talbot, McKichan and Armstrong voted in favor, Aldermen Embleton and Dunlop being of the contrary opinion. It waB therefore carried, the balance of the finance commitiee's report carrying without further objection. Toronto, Aug. 19.—T. G. Black- stock on returning from Rossland was interviewed by a Globe reporter aB to the mining industry in the west, and in reply Mr. Blackstock said that he had found mining in British Columbia in a depressed state. "The feeling, however, Ib that the worst has been seen," said Mr. Blackstock, "and that the province will experience a slow return to prosperity. The bonus granted by parliament to lead has already stimulated that industry, and the big mines, which have been closed for the past few years, are getting ready to ship again." Mr. Blackstook was asked as to the St. Eugene mine, and in reply Baid: "We have not yet decided whether we shall open up this mine or not. Negotiations are now in pro- kii*s kicking ti. ilial result, but, as it will ooBt thirty to forty thousand dollars to open up a mine like the St. Eugene, which has benn lying idle for the past couple of years, tbe dii ectors hesitate to do eo until they are satisfied as to the outlook for lead in the London market, and as to the rates which are offered. "As to the Roesland oamp, it has been well known to those who have made a study of the conditions there for the past couple of years that the grade of the ore is bo low that large profits cannot be expected unless some method other than smelting can be devised for treating it. Fortunately, for tbe the country this question seems to be about satisfactorily solved. The Le Roi No. 2 is putting up a small concentrator, at which it proposes to concentrate its ore by the well known Klmoreoil process. On the other hand, the War Eagle and Centre Star mines have decided, after most thorough experiments, both in the laboratory and in the mill at Silica, on Sheep creek, to put up a concentrator with a capacity of 200 tons per day and susceptible of being enlarged cheaply to a capacity beyond that. The exact location of this mill has not yet been definitely decided upon, but it is expected that this point will be settled in tbe course of a few weeks. Meanwhile the plant and machinery is being ordered, and it is hoped operations will commence before the 1st of January." "Notwithstanding the depressed condition of mining generally throughout British Columbia,, concluded Mr. Blackstock, "it is astonishing how well the trade in such cities as Rossland and Nelson I keeps up."

O.|B0.;UU2 ltosaland, B. C. COLONIAL TRADE The statistics of oolonial trade, ■aye the Viotoria Colonist, should have some weight with the people of Great Britain. In 1900 Oreat Britain's trade with the colonies amounted in value to 316,500,000 pounds sterling, while her trade with foreign countries only amounted in value to 167,600,000 pounds ■terling. It ia true that the bulk of this trade is not done with the self-governing colonies. But it ie amply proved by statistics that Oreat Britain's trade is only increasing with those countries from whioh she is not barred by hostile tariffs and that with couotries where Qreat Britain is so barred her trade is diminishing, while they themselves are not suffering in volume of trade or general prosperity. In other words, tariffs do what they are intended to do. They check imports and substitute home production of the olass of articles previously supplied from abroad. If then Qreat Britain makes no effort to retain tbe trade of the self- governing colonies and ie edged out of the trade of all oountries controlled by industrial competitors, the only basis of her trade left will be the secondary oountries she herself controls. That would indeed be a British Empire but it would be a Britiah Empire from whicb, in a most important respect the self- governing oolonies were excluded, and not the British Empire to whioh we look forward as the realization of oar highest ideals. It is extremely ourious to see the anti- Imperialists of Great Britain trying to make oommon cause with the high protectionists of Canada They oannot rise above the purely economic view of national advantage, and a very short-sighted economic view at that. They forget entirely that protection in Canada exists for a national purpose and that an Imperial purpose may modify and enlarge the national conception without robbing it of its applicability to purely Canadian affairs. So long as Canada exports largely Canada must always import largely. What Canada desires is to have this import and export trade founded upon a basis of mutual advantage to herself and Qreat Britain instead of upon a basis of equal opportunity to all foreign oountries. Suoh an arrangement would be advantageous to both countries from an Imperial point of view and equal to any other possible individual arrangement from an eoonomio point of view. If Qreat Britain will not have this, it will make no difference at all to the eoonomio development of Canada, but it will make a very vast difference to the development of the British Empire, THE BALKANS. The trouble in the Balkans is attracting much invidious attention all over the world but especially in .British countries. The trouble is apparently impossible of appeasement. It is apparently impossible of adjustment on any basis. Some clamor for the banishment of the Turk, but the very practical question is whether any nation will be allowed by the jealousy of others to occupy the place of "the sick man." Are the nations which occupy the Balkan peninsula fit for Belt government? WiU they agree on the predominance of any one power? Whioh is that power to be? The names of the Btates occupying that peninsula, are little known to the rest of the world excepting to their own immediate neighbors. The three dominant nationalities are the Turks, the Greeks and the Slavs. Generally, but not too accurately speaking, the Slav states are those lying to the north of the peninsula along the Balkan mountains. The Greeks occupy the south of the peninsula, while the Turk ie between the two. The religion is chiefly Mussulman and Greek Catholic Along the north Rumelia, Rumania, Servia, Herzogovina, Bosnia, Montenegro, Servia, Bulgaria and Macedonia are ever striving together. Some are "independent." Some own the tutelage of Russia, some the suzerainty of Turkey, while a few of the Slav states are under the control of Qermanio Austria, whioh seems to have plenty of trouble with its dual government without reaching out for more. Macedonia claims to lead the way, the claim apparently being chiefly baaed on its historic memories when under Alexander tbe Great, the Iskandar of the Turks, it was the premier state of Greece. Macedonia and Greece might well come together, but are the reoords of either state sufficient to establish their right to rule the peninsula? Would the Turks submit? Would the Slavs agree to any'such domination? But if Greeoe and Macedon may not take the lead and the Turk must go, are the Slavs any more fit for the task? Their internal dissensions and the political affinities with Austria and Russia, strongly antagonistic, are quite sufficient to prevent any politically independent federation. There is not even the tie of a common language. If the Turk is expelled who ie to take his plaoe? After all is the Turk any worse than the murderers of the late King Alexander and Queen Draga? If Germany permitted AuBtria to exercise a suzerainty over the peninsula and occupy Constantinople it would give the Southern German suoh politioal power and aotual wealth that Berlin would have a fresh rival which she practically reduoed to politioal subservience nearly forty years ago. And if Russia were to take the place of Austria Germany would hardly feel more satisfied, and the Empire, menaced by itB greatest enemy camping on its chief trade route to the Far Eaat, would have something to Bay. On the other hand if each little state is allowed to set up a perfectly uncontrolled government such are the internecine jealousies that there would be trouble immediately among themselves, and Europe, liable itself to be brought into the melee at any moment, would feel as if it were sitting upon a powder magazine. Gladstone, moved to righteous wrath over the Bulgarian atrocities, a generation since, stumped Great Britain and was returned to power. Turning his attention to the troublesome problem he found it impossible of solution and 'eat crow.' The question ie what is to be Lace Curtains and delicate fabrics are best washed with Sunlight Soap. No injury from scrubbing or impurities. gB done with a country which while liable to unspeakable atrocities by its suzerain is yet unfit to govern itself. It is this consideration that has permitted the Turk to remain in Europe long after his power as a nation hae departed.

CAMP HEDLEY is the most talked of camp in the province, and situated in the centre is Similkameen City, surrounded by rich miues which will shortly have large payrolls. Over 200 lots have been sold to business people who realize that Similkameen will become the metropolis of this district. The Nickel Plate mines have expended $300,000 in development and are at present building tramways and a 40-stamp mill.
