JOSEPH MARTIN AT WINNIPEG Advocates the Oagani/.ing of a Third Party-He Alleges That tho Old Parties Are Controlled by the Railroads" — Conns Out 'for Public Ownership. A special despatch to this morning's News-Advertiser from Winnipeg announces ihe fact that Mr. Joseph Martin of Vancouver addressed a meeting of about 500 people at Selkirk Hall Thursday night, speaking for an hour on Canadian politics. Mr. Martin declared that both Liberals and Conservatives were bad, and advocated the organization of a third parly, having as its main object purity in public affairs. Both parties in Mr. Martin's opinion were under the control of the big railway companies, and to remove this he advocated public ownership. He declared thai Sir Wilfrid I.aur- ier was not a man of great ability. He had no more 10 do with running the government than he (Mr. Martin) had. The government was run by Hmi. Charles Fitzpatrick, Mr. Martin condemned the action Ol the Lieutenant-Governor of Sai- 'katchewan in calling upon Hon. Waller Scntt, instead of Mf. Haultrdn to form a government, and hoped thai the taller would triumph at the polli. Both parties were rotten, and the speaker wanted lo know if •jwt are all rolieii loo." ,Hc believed it was in llie people of Canada tn clean the bootllen of both parlies out, and to form a new parly, a parly which Stood i"r provincial rights, especially with regard 10 education, government ownership and for abolition of the Senate. Montreal is a city of tenement houses, ninny of.lhctn being up-to- date and possessing all the comforts of a home. 'Klaus are now being prepared there for what is said to lie the hrge-t tenement house on the continent. It will have accommodation for no families, allowing five or six rooms lor each family, with bath rooms and modern arrangeiiienls, and will be lighted by electricity. The rents will range from $14 to $16. North Vancouver can hardly be said lo have struck the tenement stage of its existence, but no doubt it is com- lllg if she keeps going ahead.

Bryan, who is in Chicago attending the banquet which the Jefferson club gave him on the eve of his departure for a tour of llie world, reiterated his Intention 10 remain in politics for 2» years, notwithstanding the jolts administered to him by the voters of the United States. In the course of an interview on .lolitical matters, il was hinted that he planned to forget politics during his year of travel in foreign lands. Forget politics? No, indeed," said Mr. P.ryan, emphatically! "I fully intend to take an active interest in politics for many years to come. I shall study public questions while abroad and send back considerable correspondence during my absence. I have, tried to make il understood on several occasions that 1 mean to stay in politics for at least 25 years yet." LOCALS. Our new story next week. Have you got your stove polislivd up?

GIBSON ESCAPES BEING SHOT By a Drunken Eienchnian Who Also Threatened to Take the Life of His Companion—The Gang Being Watched by the Police—Summonses Issued and Arrests Made, North Vancouver Horticultural Exhibition on Saturday afternoon, the 16th hist. Ilesides the splendid display of fruit, flowers and vegetables there will be aquatic sports, races, etc, Light lunch will be served at popular prices and the Regimental Rand will be in attendance. In the evening a concert will be given in the Pavilion. W. J. McMillan, the grocer, is nothing if not humorous these days. The business men have Ifeen 'inconven ienced for the want of a telephone, Mac has had "Tel. No. 2" painted on the back of ihe delivery wagon. This has caiiacd no amount ol enquiries about the proposed new telephone system. "Telephone No. 2" means thai Wharfinger Spiers blows twice on his horn that goods have arrived at the wharf, and away goes the wagon down the hill to get them. It is to be hoped that our townspeople will do their share to make the annual exhibition of the Horticultural Society, which opens tomorrow here, a success. Those who have charge of the arrangements are making every effort to make it worthy of North Vancouver municipality. Upon its success this year depends, in a great measure, its existence and the government grant. It is the hope of The Express that it will be the nucleus of future great shows. On Tuesday evening a shooting affray almost occurred between an cx; cited Frenchman by the name of Victor and Special Constable Gibson. It'appears lhat the Frenchman was in the barroom of Ihe hotel with a couple of other of his countrymen when he and one of them started a wordy quarrel in their native language. Victor and his companion rushed into the adjoining billiard room where Mr. Gibson happened to be. The constable quickly siud up the situation and attempted to interfere, but Victor was by this time practically out of his mind, muttered something about shooting his companion, and took to his heels. Mr. Gibson, though unarmed, followed him to his shack, back ol The Express onicc, to prevent him returning with a weapon 10 shoot the other Frenchman. He rusiicd inside and in a few seconds came out with a big revolver in his hand, and, of course, ran into Gibson, who tried to stop him. The enraged Frenchman, grasping the gun in both hands, pointed it fairly at Gibson's head, jabbering all the while thai he would kill his com- ipa>niou and the constable. Mr. Gib- on showed his good sense in not arguing with a drunken man holding a cocked revolver firmly in both hands, and so withdrew from any further interference. Hy this time, however. the other Frenchman had cleared out. Constable Dick has issued summonses ind started, in pursuit of the gang. It appears that the Vancouver police have Wen watching this, lay-out of DupOnt street hangers-on, who have been operating hcic mr some lime, and will also take a hand in clearing the community of them. It must be lildcd thai the Frci.cntncn on Thursday sold their stuff and left for parts unknown. One thing quite certain is ■he fact that il people will not be allowed by the police lo live in Vancouver Ihey will not be tolerated in North Vancouver. The authorities here have made up llicir minds on Ibis point. FAVORITE HYMNS. W. T. Slead rccenlly requested nf prominent persons a list of their lav. orite hymns. The Express takes the liberty of printing the following list as submitted by the "devil." Councillor Morden: Who is this so weak and helpless. Cnuncillnr May: Hark! 'tis the walchman's cry, Reeve Kesly: I was a wandering sheep. Councillor Bell: What star is this that beams so bright? Councillor Allen: Oh, lor a faith that will not shrink. Clerk Philip: The blind man in his darkness. Editor Herald: When my head was bowed in woe. Rev. Mr. Gillam: How welcome was the call. Capl. Calls: A little ship was on the sea.

'Uncle Bill" Kelly Celebrates His 85th Birthday—Hope of Pardon. A recent New York despatch says that Win. Kelly, known among his fellow prisoners as "Uncle Bill," celebrated yesterday his S51I1 birthday. He is the oldest convict in the state, and has been incarcerated lunger than any person now in New York state institution. Kelly was placed behind the bars J4 years and four months ago lor murder in the second degree, committed in Queen's County. The judge, and, so far as known, all tlic jurors have long since died. In celebrating his anniversary Kelly seated himself in his big arm chair white the other convict passed by, each shaking his hand and wishing him success in efforts soon to be made for procuring his pardon. Blind For la Years. After Kelly had been in prison ,1 little more than 20 years he became stone blind. For 12 years he' sat in darkness. Then a New York professor visited Sing Sing. In passing through the hospital ward he noticed the blind convict. "I should think this case ought to be cured," remarked the'Specialist. Kelly agreed to the operation, saying he could not be made any blinder. The operation was a success and the old man's sight was completely restored. FINK CUT FACTS. Canada in 190J had 1.5 persons to the square mile. The Indians of the Dominion in 1901 numbered 9J.JIQ. There were is lepers at the Tra- cadic Lazaretto in 1904. Ontario had .1.144 acres of tobacco under cultivation in 1901. In iln last ten years the Canadian wheal yield has gone up 41 per cent. In 1K01 Canada had 45.1.54J acres of potatoes, as compared with 448,743 in 1001. There is no meat trust in Australia. There mutton sells for as little as 2 cents a pound. In Tokio there is a foreign language schools where almost all languages arp taught, and, strange to say, Russian is the favorite. Soil brought up from a depth of 326 (eel in one of the large Belgian coal mines is said lo have grown weeds unknown lo botanists. An image of the Virgin Mary in a church at Aniipoln, in the Philippine Islands, has jewels valued at $1,500,- 000, which have been given it by the devout women natives. At the end of 1903 there were in Japan 97 agricultural schols, six fishery schools, 2S technical schools, 50 commercial schools, seven mercantile schools and 62 industrial schools. A traveller, returned from India, re- Inks that at Andarkoh, in Central India, he killed four full-grown titters with live shots in six minutes, the first three being single shots.

The second annual exhibition of the Nortli Vancouver Horticultural Association will be held in the Pavilion at North Vancouver tomorrow afternoon. The prize list shows that special attention has been given 10 the encouragement i/f orchard) produce and gardening. Good prizes are also offered for poultry. The prize list is a lengthy one. As readers of The Express are aware, the fair or exposition season is now beginning, and in the next few weeks thousands will temporarily give up their accustomed vocations, garb themselves in their best bibs and tuckers, as it were, and hie themselves off to where they can see the biggest squashes and pumpkins, the best ore displays, the sleekest and fatlest cattle, the races and the thousand and one things provided at fair lime to interest and entertain Ihe average attendant. These fairs ire a good thing, not only for tin. community where held, Ihii for the people at large. It is a wise thing for the average man or woman to drop the cares of every day life and secure a change, where possible, in witnessing whatever may be provided. We all know that ti.. much play makes Jack a dull boy. nnd so it is with work. It henents our minds and bodies in no inennsid- ■erable degree to secure an entire change of environment, even for a short lime. North Vancouver opens the season of fairs tomorrow, The Horticultural Society have gone to great pains to make a creditable showing, which everyone connected therewith is sanguine of success. The whole thing hinges now on queen's weather. In addition lo thi, the North Vancouver Aquatic Club will hold its carnival of sports. President Diplock and Secretary Egan, together with the committee, have devotui • good deal of time and energy lo make the proposed events all to be desired. One thing sure is that the public may be assured of a line afternoon's entertainment. Among the other shows of interest to North Vancouverites may be mentioned the Dominion Exhibition at New Westminster, from September 27 to October 7. This lair is more pretentious than ever before, and thousands ol dollars are being spent this year to make it attractive. That it will he a successful event is already assured, as thousands all over the province a elsewhere are prepar ing lo attend.

A French Catholic 1 There can be no doubl that the movement embodied in the sectarian clause ol Sir Wilfrid Laurier's Autonomy bill is French as well as Papal. Those who have not forgotten the line taken by its author al ihe lime of the Riel rebellion will understand lhat he is qualified to direct it in bolh its aspects. Among the signs ol the movement of race is the angry manifesto of the Archbishop of St. Boni- lace against the use ol the English language in his domain. Hut it is likely that in the simple soul of the habitant any ambitious designs have been formed, though by his superior fecundy he may be gaining grouad and supplanting us in certain districts. The really aggressive force against which wc have lo be on our guard is that of ihe hierarchy and the lesuit, directed by Rome, and wielding the solid Catholic vote. A curioui symptom ol this is the proposal to change Ihe French Canadian flag Irom the tricolor to one with the Sacred Heart, surrounded by fletir-de-li«. We need not be greatly alarmed. The Northwest is not likely to fall into French hands. The rival elements of immigration there are far loo large and strong. We need 10 do nothing unfriendly toward Ihe habitant.

The Government is evidently up against serious trouble regarding the operation of the new act put through the House last session.

ROUHI. A CYCLONE'S HAVOC. ITS 11KADI.V WORK AS NARRATED 11V 1'IIE MANAGER OF A LARGE TEA ESTATE IN 1N1IIA. Detailed accounts of the destruction and suffering caused by the great earthquake shocks which visited the Kangra Valley, jn India, last April, are just reaching the Western world. The Empress, an illustrated monthly published in English in Calcutta, contains a series ol studies of the earthquake and its effects, with a recital of some thrilling personal experiences and reproduction of actual photographs. The manager of very large tea estates near Palaniponr gives his impressions and experiences as follows. "On the morning ol the 4th of April, at about f> a. 111., we were disturbed in our sleep by a slight earthquake, quickly followed by a severe one, and lastly by the worst shock of all, which appeared to . conic Irom the northeast and having a midden circular action travelling tow aids the west. The lirst one I tool; un notice of, thinking it was one ol the many sligh shoiks oil and on experienced up here. When tint second shock came, I sat up in bed and railed out to my wife to coin*' to the Window. I bad hardly done so ■ . when I S'jw the highest wall ol our bedroom fall in like a torrent on my poor sleeping child; then all ' became dark with fearful dust ' from the falling walls. I felt suffocated, and pushed my hand ■'' through the panes of glass in the window into which I had crept; bad I not done so I should have been killed by the wall that fell in ,.".' ton the head of my bed. I shall ' < :'!'" never forget those few moments ' ; that appeared like years—the ' 'nuise of the (ailing masonaiy, smashing of beams, planks, and slates. I bad fully made up my mind that wc should all perish. Whirl the shock was over I opened the window and dropped into the lower veranda, rushed out, and cried out (or help. No one .could be seen—all bad lied lo the villages to help their (riends and relations. A fearful sight presented itself to :. myeyea. All our houses (with the exception ol the malt's hut) were levelled to the ground, including a magnificent factorylinilt ofoutstone which my poor old -father had lately built. All was still as death save lor the wailing of a man who afterwards turned out to be my ■' head clerk. After a few minutes had elapsed I succeeded in getting a lew of niy household servants to- • gether and dug with bare lingers among limestone and plaster for> my only child. We had to make a coffin out of planks taken from the debris, bury her without ceremony in a quiet sequestered spot on the tea estate. To look around the valley, nothing but desolation niicts the eye. the once pretty little villiagcs with their bluish-white walls and slated rools mixed here and there with thatched buildings, all levelled to the ground.

As for our loss > In machinery, it is unknown, being all buried beneath the ruins. And this is not all. Wc arc afraid we shall lose thousands yet, owing to our terror-stricken workmen and coolies, who believe that this picturesque valley is to be totally destroyed. They have made little thatch sheds for their families and cattle, and pass the day in sorrow and fear, refusing to return to work or even work at their own fields. A great many families have been ,*a/iped out. ('On the night of the 3rd of April, about two thousand victims arrived in the small town of llhowan, which is about three miles from Kargi.i town; to worship at the temple. On the morning of the itll, at 6 o'clock, a rumbling noise was heard, and before the people could realize what it was, they felt the terrible shock, and within four seconds the whole town was destroyed. The shock lasted three miniitc.i, but all the damage was done in the firsf few seconds. About two thousand people were buried beneath the ruins of the temple, and under the adjacent buildings. The Guru, or High Priest of thcTcmplc, was dug out of the ruins and buried near the site of the Toshakhana, adjoining the temple."
