MAYORALTY CANDIDATES Election Forecastls Possible. THOMAS HULME FOR MAYOR Na Other Man Has As Yet Put Himself Bafere the Public, The fight for the mayoralty of the oity has at last assumed definite proportions. It has been tha talk of the town for some time past that ex Alderman Hamilton, would run for the mayoralty. From various reasons he would have been highly acceptable to the camp, not only from his well known stand with regard to the system of gambling that was tried here, but from his standing in the cify. It may be Btated that the Munioipal Reform Party asked him to be its candidate and here iB his answer to them and to their proposal: Dear Mr. Robinson: I have read over your organization platform and there is nothing in it I object to. I doubt the practicability of acquiring the light plant during the coming year though I think it desirable if it oould be done. I don't understand the extent of ''reorganization of the of the Polioe department" other- wiso your programme has my heartiest approval. I have carefully considered your flattering request that I should head your ticket as candidate for mayor and I have decided to write asking you to seoure some one else as my posi tion and circumstances do not permit of my giving the time and attention whioh others could give in doing justice to the trust imposed by tbat offioe. I fully appreciate the honor done me in your suggestion. Yours Truly C. R, Hamiltion. This leaves in the field at present only Mr. Thomas Hulme who refused to run at the head of the Muniopal Reform Party ticket as long as Mr. Hamilton was considering the matter. It iB possible that Mayor Dean may run again for re-eleotion but up to the present he has not made known his intentions. The platform of the Munioipal Reform Party is before the publio. It remains for tlie other Bide, if any, to state what is the hope on which may be based an appeal to the municipal electorate of Rossland. Tha Coaur d'Alana.

A mark of civilization and tbe healing of all differences, was the Press Club bacquet of last night. PreBB Club banquets as a rule are strange things—in the eyes of the public—inasmuoh as newBpaper men who have been devoting their colums to proving how frightfully wrong 'tother fellow must have been, is, and ever will bs from tbe very nature of hia political opinions link arms together and roar jovial ohoruaes with indi ffereooe to the calls of music, but with a regard to harmony. But after all a newspaper man is very like a lawyer who quilB the court room where he has been demonstrating for the benefit of a free and enlightened jury, and wise and impartial judge, eucb judges and juries aB we have in liriti-li Columbia, the iniquity of hia opposing counsel, arm and arm with the very man he haB denounced. The only thing such phenomena can be put down to is the march of civilization. When men can agree to differ as to their views of things in general, without hating eaoh other, and carrying such public differences into private life, it shows that the link of brotherhood, whioh the fraternities, which from the days of John of PatmoB, have been looping together, have now made a chain which is chang ing the very spirit of menkind. WILL RUSSIA FIGHT. Supposing that there were cars sufficient to send ten trains daily it would take 200 days to get the men alone over the route. But what about camp followers, doctors, nurseB, cooks, etc, tbe following alone would mean nearly as many more. That would mean another 200 days and when the commis- Hieariat, the ammunition, tke horses the guns, the cannons are considered it will be seen tnat another 200 days would be ocnBumed. That is to say a couple of years. But when the railway to be uBed is unbridged and tbe bridge work so far behind that it iB estimated that it cannot be completed until 1910, the congestion of traffic that would take the place over a single track line would be frightful to contemplate the transporation problem in faot is the largest thing the world has ever seen. If troops are to be conveyed by transport how are the ships to get ooal. The usual place is to coal at Aden or Colombo and again at Singapore or Hongkong. But those ports now would only give coal if neutral and then only to the nearest port a day or two away. Thus to cross the pay of Bengal it would be necessary to make a circuit of its shores In the meantime a hostile fleet iB waiting for the transports with coal bases near at hand, in the narrow China seas. What chance has the Russians? And if the Empire takes a hand no Russian vessel could keep the seas, much less get coal. No such Russian army could cross Siberia inasmuch aB India would make it interesting for Russia in Central Asia. Gone would be the influence so slowly matured over Persia and TurkeBtan, gone the Russian hopes of getting a nice free port in southern Asia. Russia is going up against a big thing in taokling Japan especially when the treaty show that Japan is alliance with her rival England, Japan is far more likely to win than appears at the outset and if the Muscovite iB wise he will not carry his bluff so far as to have to show down.

That plucky little nation which fleshed its modern sword at the battle of tbe Yaln is aching for an opportunity of again showing its powers. Russia has a number of Cossacks settled on the Amur. At their best they are but light cavalry and are more or less undisciplined with no reputation as sharpshooters. With these are a few regulars. In the march to Peking those regulars did not show up to advantage in the eyes of military observers, againBt the Japs. The Times correspondent at Peking declares that about 100,000 men iB the total of the Russian strength in the Far East.even this he thinks a liberal estimate, The Japs can outnumber these from five to ten to one. It is true that behind these Russians is the vast European army. Has anybody ever thought though of the difficulty of transporation of these men across a Siberian railroad which Russia .herself thinks soa little that it is planning another by a better rout. The trouble is that the big rivers are unbridged, there are mileB of swamp through whioh the trains must run slowly. Even suppose the track were as perfect as is, say, the C. P. R. main line the transportation difficulties involved in the bringing of a million soldiers froii Europe to Manohuria is enormous. One train leaves Vancouver eastward daily with a capacity of say 500 people.

The Press Banquet last night at the Palace hotel was an unique thing in banquets. There was the usual feast of reason (tbe menu was good) and the Mow of soul (the souls were oonvivially inclined). In addition to this there was harmony's sweet discord delighting tlie creators and a listening publio. There were toabts of course, what would the RoBBland banquet be without the toast but the standby Our Mining Industry," inclusive of the two per cent, tax and the duty on concentrating oil was conspicuous by its absence. The toast list was sufficiently loyal and there were references to the two Teddies, he of England and he of Washington, (newspapermen are known to stand in little awe of dignities) but after these and the more touching (sentimentally) toast to the (Continued on Fourth page.) * * * * * * # * * * .PALACE, RALPH HARRON, PROP.

Rossland, B.o At this the olerk shrugged his Bhoulders—no doubt he did not ook to be a very weloome guest— and coughed and spit, and then unfurled in our free sunshine a great roll of questions, and forthwith proceeded to expound them in bastard Latin, smacking of mouldy cathedral cells and cloister pedantry. 'Now, mark me, Sir Voewood, and afterwards answer truly in everything. Here, first, I will read you the declaration of your neighbor, the worthy thane Sewin, in order that you may see how the matter should go, and then afterwards I will question you yourself,' and, taking a parchment from a junior, he began: 'Here is what Benin told us: Rex tenet in Do- minio Sohurst; de firma Regis Edwardi fuit. Tuno se defendebat pro 17 Hidis; nihil geldaverunt. Terra est 16 Carucatae; in Dominio sunt 2ae Carucatae, et 24 Villani, et 10 Bordarij cum 20 Carucis. Ibi Eoolesia quam Willelmus tenet de Rege cum dimidia Hida in Ele- mosina. Silva 40 Porcorum et ipsa est in parco Regis—' But hardly had my friend got so this in displaying the domesticity of Sewin the tbane, when there broke a loud uproar from the rear of Voewood, and the tripping Latin oame to a sudden halt as there emerged in sight a rabble of Saxon peasants and Norman prickersfree- ly exchanging buffets. In the midst of them waB our bailiff, a very stalwart fellow, hauling along and beating as he oame a luoklesB soldier in the foreign garb just then so detestable to our eyes. 'Why,' I said, 'what may all this be about? What has the fellow done, Sven, that your Saxon cudgle makes Buoh friends with bis Norman cape?' 'What? Why, the gracelessyonk- er, uot contented with bursting open the buttery door and setting all those scullion men-at-arms drinking my lady's ale and rioting amoung her stores, must needs harry the maidens, soaring them out of their nits, putting tke whole place in a uproar 1 As I am an honest man there has been more good ale spilt this half-hour, more pottery broken, more linen torn, more roasts upset, more maids set eoreaming, than since the Danes laBt came around this way and pillaged ub from roof to cellar!' 'Why, you fat Saxon porker!' oried the leader of the troops, pushing to the front, 'what are you good or but for pillage? Drunken serf An were it not for the politic heart of yonder King, I and mine would make you and yours sigh again for your Danish ravishers, looking back trom our mastery to their red fury with siokly longing! Out on you! Unhand tho youth, or by St Bridget there will be a fat oaroase for your crows to peck at!' and ha put his hand upon his dagger. Thereon I stepped between them, and. touching my jewelled belt, eaid: Fair Sir, I think the youth has had less than his deserts, and as for tbe Voewood orows they lika Norman carrion even better than Saxon flesh.' The soldier frowned, as well ha might at my retort, but before we oould draw, aB assuredly we would have done, the monk pushed in between us, and the athelings of the commission, who had orders to oar- ry out their work with peace and dispatch as long as that were possible, quieted their unruly rabble, and presently a muttering, surly order waB restored between the glowing orowds. 'Now,' Baid the soribe propitiat- ingly, anxious to get through with hie task, 'you have heard how amiably Sewin answered. Of yon I will ask a question or two in Saxon sinoe likely enough, you do not know the blessed Latin. (By the soul of Hengist, though, I knew it before the stones of that confessor's anoient monastery were hewn from their native rock!) 'Answer truly, and all shall be well with you. First, then how muoh land has thou? But I could not stand it. My spleen was roused against these braggart bullies, and, throwing discretion to the wind, I burst out, 'Just so much as serves me and mine in summer and winter!' 'And how many ploughs?' 'So many as need to till our corn la nds.' 'Rude boar!' said the monk, backing off into the group of hie friends, and frowning from that vantage in his turn. 'How many serfs anknowldege your surly leadership?' 'Just bo many,' I said, boiling over, 'as oan work the ploughs and reap the oorn, and keep the land from greed/ foreign clutches! There put up you Bcroll and begone. I will not answer you! I will not Bay how many pigeons there are in our dovecotes—how many fowl! roost upon their perohes—how many earthen pots we have, or how many maids to .scrub theml Get you back to the Conqueror; tell him I deride and laugh at him for the second time. Say I have lived a longish life, and I never yet saw the light of that day when I profited by humility. Say I, the ewart stranger who stabbed his ruffian oourtier and galloped away with the whito maid Editha of Voewood—I, who plucked that flower from the very saddle bow of bis favorite, and thundered derisive through his first camp there on the eastern downs—say, even I will find a way to keep and wear her, in soorn of all that be can do! Out with you—begone!' And they went, foi I was clearly in no mood to be dallied with, while behind me the serfs and vassals were now mustering strongly, an angry array armed with such weapons as they could snatch up in their haste, and wanting but a word or look to fall upon the little band of assessors and slay them as they stood. Thus we won that hour—and many a long day had we to regret tbe viotory. My luck was against me that time. I hoped, so far as there was any hope or reason in mv thoughtless anger, to have had a space to rouse the neighboring thanes and tbeir vassals upon these our tyrants, and I had dreamt so combustible wae the oountry just then, somehow perhaps the flame would have spread far and wide. £To be continued.] THE EVENINGTIWORLD ROSSLAND.

Personalities, so rigidly eschewed in our daily press, freely flew, no man taking offence. This the following charming ditty illustrates. Sung by Jack Clute it was received with great applause (possibly new and squirming). The tune was declared to de Vive la Compagnie:— First comes Joe Thomas who sweetly sings lays And likewise knows something of shimmies and stayB. And there sits Fred Barker bo happy and Gay, Its natural—he's baok from the timber, to Btay. Please don't forget Houston so placid and deep, We'll find him a hydrant and put him to sleep. Smile sweetly on Kittridge, let no one abuse him, When hard up-for coins it's convenient to use him. Then here's to friend Laird let's fill him with wine, For then with the boys he'll stand up in line. Now that about settles the Miner's mad revel, Just let us consider the World and the Devil. Al the head of the list comes Dyer the bright. He's all right to jolly but coBtly to bite. The right bower's Fletcher who rustles the " biz " With a shotgun and Minto whole world is his. The accomplished vooalist had nothing to say about himself a oiroumstance entirely due to his well known native modesty. Besides this ditty there were other songs. There were also speeches but these are too ordinary. " Give me making of a nation's songB," said the poet of the pines, aud I'll forego the lesson books." Turning literary attention to the menu, it was well served, hot and well cooked, the hall was draped with the local newspapers, whose Bombretoucb.es were relieved with flags and greenery gathered from the wealth of the hills. There was nothing suggestive of filthy lucre ia these adornments, which were therefore appropriately journali* tic enough. The sinners who participated in this banquet were: It. Houston, Barker, H. J, Rikcard, Hon. C. H. Mackintosh, J. W. Nelson, J. Wright, J. Clute, Smith CurtiB, George Stevens, Alfred W. Dyer, Frank Empey, J. Kloman, L, Kittridge, J. Thomas, R. Laird, D. Thomas, J. H.

Messrs Dimock and Yorke have taken over tbe Maple Leaf saloon. Skating is particularly good at the rink just now and the votaries are many. A strict quarantine against small pox is still being maintained on the boundary. A comic opera company is some thing new in RoBBland and ought to be well patronized. Ash Wednesday falls this year on February 17 so that there is lols of time for a few more dances. The present oity counoil has a lease of life extending over two moi e business sessions. The woods are now full of possible and impossible mayoralty candidates. The colts were beaten by the veteran curlers on Saturday night and had to put up the oyster sup per in their turn. Chinese laundrymen are objecting to pay the $10 lioence. One haB in consequence been placed in the city lockup for reflection.
