Asks them to Supply Nurses for Quarantine Hospital, Minneaolis, Feb. 15,���Health Commissioner Hall, who bas become wearied of the efforts ol the anti- vaccina'.ionists to escape and prevent vaccination, issued a challenge to those wbo believe vacocination is objectionable to produce two of tbei number for duty at the quarantine hospital where there are a score or more afflicted witb the disease. None of the present staff of nurses have bad smallpuax but all have been successfully vaccina'od and none bas contracted the disease during the three months of their service among victims. Dr. Hall claims that the efficiency of vaccination can now be proven by having two uuvaccinated nurses put on dutv. The auti-vaccination people bave decided to accept Dr. Hall's challenge and have promised to produce two women for duty who have never been vaccinated. The anti-vaccinatiomsts believe tbeir nurses will prove as immune to the disease as have the others. The opponents of vaccination have appealed to the eourts and been beaten. Many in the Twin Cities are keeping their ohildren from schools rather than submit to compulsory vaccination. They accordingly were willing to jump at the chance Dr. Hall has given to prove what they believe the experiment will show. WINTER MAILS. Ice Boats Carry Them to the Island Provinces. Charlottotown, P. E. I., Feb. 15.��� Winter communication this year haB aa usual, been attended with difficulty and discussion Last season tbe two ice steamers Minto and Stanley ran together on the Georgeton Plctou route, each leaving port in thc morning when poBslble-and both oarrying mails and nassengers During tbe coldest period the to boats became tied up for a fortnight, and the province was without mails for the greater part of tbat time. One of tbe steamers became stuck in the ice and the other could not leave port. Barring this interruption, tbe service was kept up regularly. This Beason the eastern people, contending that the Summerside-Cape Tormentine route was worthy of trial, suoceeded in huviug the Stanley placed there, while the Minto was put on the Georgetown-Plctou 'route. Last year a special train, paid for by the Postoffice department, connected with the winter boats'���an arrangement in force ever since a wintor steamer was pnt on. At tho beginning of the season tbe mails were sent by tbe Stanley, bnt as the Postoffice department declined to pay for a special train, and the Railway department considering that the other department bad a right to carry out the same arrangement as ln other years, refuso to do so, and tho people Wero obliged to suffer consid. eruble inconvenience from delayed mails, Recently the Stanley failed to make trips with tbe desired regu- luiity, and tbe mails were transferred to the Minto, which was making satisfactory connections, A special train bas been put on, and things are moving serenely onoe moro. The placing of the Stanley on the western route is an experiment which is worth the trial at least, though many doubts are entertained of its feasibility. It has naturally caused a rivalry between the west and east, each claiming tne honor of being the winter port. YALE DEFEATS HARVARD.

Mysterious Death of a Prosperous Young Merchant. Beautiful Young Woman Arrested Charged With Murder. New York, Feb. 15.���Walter S. Brooks, a young commission merchant of tbis oity, was found dying in a room in the Glen Island hotel, West Cortliin.lt street, last midnight, and after his death, several hours later, in a hosiptal. tbe police werenotified and took in charge Florence Burns, a handsome Brooklyn girl, with whom Brooks had for some time been beeping company. She will probablv be arraigned in court tomorrow morning. A negro bell boy identified the girl as the one who came to the hotel with Brooks, but Miss Burns denies she was the one, and declared that she met Brooks at his place of business early on Friday evening, leaving him at 0.30 o'clock to go to her home in Brooklyn. Certain it is, howover, that Brooks and some young woman went to the Glen Island early on Friday evening registering as "J. Wilson and wife." It was midnight when the bell boy Bmelled the gas in cne of the hallways. Brooks' room was broken into and he was found lying across the bed unconscious and the gas pouring from the burners. Doctor Sweeney was summoned and noticed what he thought was a simple cut on the back ot the head. Later he discovered it was a bullet wound and Brook's removal to a hospital followed. The girl was arrested at her Brooklyn home. At tbe police station she did not flinch at the examination through whicb sue was put, maintaining she did not spend the night with Brooks. The bell boy, however, picked her out from three women liued up before him as the one who had been at the hotel. Dr. Sweeney and the police put aside the theory of selfmurder beoause there were no powder marks around the spot where the bullet entered the head of Brooks. OUT OF GRAND CHALLENGE.

Indian Head, N.W.T., Feb.15.���The flrst annual meeting of the Territorial Grain Merchants' association has just been held, delegates being present fiom tbe principal points of the wheat belt extending from Moose .law to Moosomin. Tbe greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The organization was completed and the association starts cut upon a career of boundless usefulness. W. R. Motherwell presided, opening the meeting in an address pointing out the disabilities tha grain growers are now suffering, and suggesting reforms which are necessary if thia western country is to progress as it should. Committees on credentials, resolutions, finance and legislation were appointed and their reports came up for discussion in tho afternoon. Hon. Mr. Bulyea, Territorial commissioner of agriculture, made an important speech in which be pointed out tbe great influx of people to the TerritoiieB and the necessity for moving out tbe wheat now in tbo blockade in order to make room for next summer's crop. The Canadian Pacifio had admitted its inability to cope with the situation and he suggested that the force of public opinion he directed towards compelling the railway to carry the grain to Winnipeg then over the Canadian Northern to Poit Arthur and fill up the available storage capacity there and also to carry grain via Moosejaw and the Soo line to Duluth at the same rate as to Fort William, There was storage for ten million bushels at Dulutb, which could be utilized in tbis way. The Canadian Pacific not being able to handle the grain over its own line should not act the dog in the manger, but should prevent the calamity of impending loss by carrying at i poolal rates to Duluth. A number of strong resolutions were passed, deputations appointed, olliocrs elected and arrangements completed for a thorougn organization all over the Teiritories. ARE TO MEET AGAIN.

ALL TALK OF DIPLOMACY j Relations With Germany Are Strained to a Serious Point. Europe Interested In Probable Status of the Philippines. London^ Feb. 15.���What the Saturday Review now terms Lord Cran- bornes "indesretion" would doubtless have brought upon the government severe critioism had not the Anglo- Japanese treaty diverted public attention, and bad not tbe alliance been generally regarded as a stroke of diplomacy. As it is, the dispute has served to strain to a really serious point rilations between Great Britain and Germany, which were none too harmonious prior to the first question of the subject asked by Henry Norman in the Houso of Commons. Among diplomats in London the controversy is generally regarded as offsetting the benefits of what had been privately termed "England's coup in China." An influential member of the Spanish diplomatic service, now here, said to a representative of the Associated Press: We view the squabble with considerable amusement, but have no intention of putting in an oar. Should we sav all we know, our relations with several of tbe European powers which ure now quite satisfactory might be seriously impaired. Moreover, we are not in the habit of breaking tbe hard and fast laws of diplomatio secrecy. We are naturally pleased, however, that the affair has brought out tbe fact that we practically gave in to all the conditions demanded by the United States and tnat our submission, on whieh tne ambassadors deliberated on April I4th,1808, was suppressed. This allegation of the suppression of Spain's submission is also discussed at length in English official circles, where it is declared tbat unless a satisfactory explanation is forthcoming, the incident will be banded down to history as a repetition of Prince Bismark's action in regard to the Ems despatch. There are indications tbat pour parlers have recently been exchauged between some of the European powers regarding the Philippines, exactly for what purpose or wilh what prospect of materializing into definite action it is impossible at present to say. However the Associated Press is able to state that there has recently been a keen recrudescence of interest in Downing street and at other chancellories in the conditions prevailing in the Philippines and the attitude of United States toward them. Whether this bas any connection with tho Anglo-Japanese treaty is only a mat- tor for surmise, but that an important international undeicurrent exists in regard to the probable hiatus of these islands, is undeniable.

COAL SUPPLY IN THE WEST. Several Hritish Columbia journals have recently shown much agitation over the assumed superior, not to say sinster, influence of James ,1. Hill, in the matter of coal snpply from the mines of the Kooten&V district in Canada, says the Monetary Times. It is alleged that Bill has obtained control of the Grow's Nest Pass Coal company, and that he is about to so manipulate matters that the United States smelters south ot the boundary line can obtain all the Canadian coal they want at low rates, while Canadians must pay high prices. This rathor alarming report lias caused us to look into the conditions really existing. A dozen years ago, or more, an offer was made by the Rritish Columbia governsueut of 20,000 acres of land per mile to any parties who would build a line of railway to dcvlop the coal deposits known to exist nt the Crow's Nest Pass. And ten thousand acres of ooal bearing lands near the Elk liver were bought, abont the year 1802, by the Kootenay Coal company, whose successors arc the Crow'n Nest Pass Coal company, situate to tlie east of Elk river, and extending from north of Coal creek to Morrissey Creek, B. C. In ls',17, or thereabout���a oharter having been previously granted to the British Columlba Southern railway���au agreement was effected between this road, the Crow's Nest Coal company and the Canadian Pacific railway.for the construction of a road which should tap and develop this valuable coal-bearing section of British Columbia. Such construction was deemed to be in the public interest. A portion of the lands granted by the governmont of British Columbia to the British Columbia Southern railway, also east of the Elk river and adjsiining tlio lands of the original purchase, was taken over by the Crow's Nest people, who bo- came liable to the conditions imposed by virtue of that concession. The Crow's Nest Pass road having been built, the company came under certain obligations. For example, it was provided by tho government that the prioe charged for coal by tho company should not cxeeod two dollars por ton on board cars at the minos. This arrangement was .'oi the protection of the people of Western Canada. Again, a stipulation was made by the C. H. R. foi its own protection, as a large consumer, that the profits of tlio coal company were not to excocd "a leasonable price," that is to sny, 75 cents per ton prollt. Further, the Dominion government insisted upon receiving 50,000 acres of these coal lauds as security for the due perform- ane ol covenants, And tlie C.P.K. or their part were given six suctions, eiiual to H.H-IO aores of theho valuable lands, siibjos.'t, however,to the restriction that for ton years from 1SU7 the C.P.R should not mine coal. It would seem, then, that what with restrictions as to price to be charged for coal and the giving up of some 51.DOO acres of its lands, the Crow's Nest Coal people had given reasonable hostages for good behavior, They went to work developing at a great rate, not only mining coal hut ranking coko, the srrcltors of Kootonay demanding coke in great quantity. We are not told hov much was expendel iu the years previous lo 1001, probably from one to two million dollars, but In that year their expenditure wo�� 11,045,000, as follows: In plant, machinery and buildings ' $ H.ID.OOO In wages and salaries 808,000 Iu' supplies 801,000 81,1 US, 000 fif the TH:ifi,0O0, llrst mentioned, more than half enuie to Ontario; much of it wont to Quebec and even Nova Scotia, for miuhineiy. And the total of their pay roll h-is boen steadily increasing until for the month of Decern her last year it was (01,J01. In tho erection ol coke ovens nt Fernie and thereabout, tbo company spent, we aro old, about ball a million dollars, and their production and sale of coal and coke was as under, for several yeais: Coal, tons. Coke, tons. 1688 8,086 361 1800 116,200 20,658 1900 232,345 72,810 1001 425,350 122,450 Total, tons ....783,881 225, 79 I This was very satisfactory progress indeed. But is 1000 came the miners' strike in the Kootenay district; production of ore fell off, and the consumption oi coke at the smelters fell from thousands to hundreds of tone, and finally, for three or fonr months, the smelters were closed and ealeo of coke in British Columbia were absolutely nil. In these circumstancs, in order to retain their men and to keep their coal-raising and coke-producing plant at work, the company had to look about for other markets, seeing thai a change in the mining laws or a stikc of miners could work such bavoo to productive industry as was done in the Kootenays in 1000. Owing to the greatly superior character of the Crow's Nest coal and coke to that produced ,in Montana, it had^been lonnd possible to transport our coal to Washington state, and also to take Canadian coke through the mountains arouud by Lethbridge and down a narrow guage railway across the boundary and sell it to the Ilntte and Anaconda smelters in Montana. But the profit was slender because of the long haul over an ill-equipped road. Here, however, was a steady market offered, which coneumed 5,000 tons per dny and wanted this better coal. The Great Northern.' railway of America and its connections eon- trolled j all tha railway mileage for hundreds ol miles to the south along the boundary. A direct route was needed, to get tbis coal south instead of making an expenive detour eastward, and the Crow's Nest people set about getting it, A Canadian charter was secured for a road from tho ..coalfields due south to the boundary, and this is expected to be ready for work in six months' time. J. J. Hill has agreed to build southward from the boundary an Amercan connection of this railway, and this, too, is under construction. To secure Hill's cooperation in the supplying of Canadian coal to the Montana mining region, he wiib admitted some months ago a shareholder of the Crow's Nest Coal Oo., and he bought a three-tenths interest, at a premium, paying $800,- 000 for $500,000 of the stock, extra shares being issued to him for the purpose. Upon this last-mentioned fact has been based a story that Hill bus got control of the Crow's Nest Coal company, and that the interests of the consuming publij of the Kooto- nays have been sacrificed to Mr. James Juggernaut Hill (for Bo these B. C. journals would designate him) and his American associates. We are unable to see the dangerous and destructive etiaraoter of the transaction. If the situation had beeu re versed, and American producers of a superior Montana coal had arranged to carry it by direct rail route across tho border, to serve tbe interests of Canadian smelters, it would perhaps have been oonsidored a clever move. Mr. Hill does not control the Crow's Nest company, be is rot even a director of it, nor has he a single director representing him, but he does help lt to sell Canada's coal to Americans. And the same safeguards exist that havo always existed to protect the rights or reasonable claims of the Canadian Pacific railway and the Canadian government in the premises. EDITORIAL NOTE?. The malt used in British Columbia is brought in from abroad and costs about lf.10 a ton. The Kulmoops Sentinel is endeavoring to induce tlie farmers who raise barley in that vicinity to erect a malt house. The plan would only cost $5,000. Barley in tho vicinity of Kamloops costs about $20 per ton and as the malt sells for $80 it is obvious that there would bo considerable prollt in tho business.

There is a nice body of orc in No. 5 tunnel. The Mining Review of Sandon says that ii. J- McLachlan and A.Erickson ,ro getting ready to ship a ear of iq 000 ounce dry ore from tbeir Bear Lake property. Development is in progress with a small force on tbe Soho gronp. The property Is in shape to make largo shipments but is waiting for an improvement in the price of silver and lead. The American Hoy, saj'B the Sandon l'oysteak, has quit using the Last ijhance tram in transporting oie to the Keco siding. There was some dissatisfaction between the two companies as to what the tramway service was worth. H. L Arame and B. 0. Burton have sold the Silver King and Iron Mask claims to the McDonald Mining syn. dicate for $4,000. The olaims are locstod on MoDonald creek in the Windermere district. A considerable force is engaged in developing the properties. Work on the Estella group, in East Kootonay, is malting good progress, sayH the Fort Steele Prospector. One hundred and twenty feet of tunnel bas been run since the 500-foot contract ��ae made and there is four feet of ore in thc face of the tunnel. The prospects for tho resumption of shipments by the St. Eugene are brightening with the advance in tho price of lead. Since the concentratoi was shut down about 40 men have boen employed ou development woik. bast ween two additional machines were put to work, which meant tbe employment of half a dozen more miners. UNION LITIGATION. They had a singular experience at the Lust Chance lately, says the Mining Review. After passing the lead in tho long tunnel, and finding it by tests on return, they commenced to drift and In ten feet struck a nice ore body, which tbey find enlarging aB they continue the drift and an upraise. The assumption is, thore is ore on the other side of the erossout also, that they passed the load in thc only blind spot on its length. There are 55 men at work on the property all told.

TEETH AND FOOD A Help In Time of Need Sometimes bad teeth cause illness, particularly when they are"notfitto masticate food. A man iu Ada, O., liad all ol his teeth drawn. Ho was sick with indigestion and lack of vitality and his toeth were in bar; condition. He expoctcd, with a new complete apt oi teeth, to regain bis lioalth by thoroughly chewing his food, but he had an experience that is well worth knowing of. ''Instead of improving I continued tu lose Btrengh," ,ho says, "until 1 was a mere moving skeleton. I tried a nuinbor of propured foods but none ol thorn helped me until I got Grape- Nuts. The flavor pleased my palate at once. I soaked the food in cream ami got along with it nioely. Within a few days I noticed that I was not so tired aud jaded. Gradually I grew stronger, so I left off all other foods and took only Grape-Nuts. My old time vigor came baok and in two months I gained 17 pounds. This was romaikablo for I am of spare build. Now I sleep and feel wonier- '"lly well, Inasmuch as I am doing so nicely without teeth I have concluded to wait until my gums have finished ���Drinking before having a sot made. 1 don't bolievo I could havo gono through the drain on my system had 't not beon foi Qrape-NutB. There is ��o doubt about the life-giving und "erve-buildlng forco of that food. I talk Grape-Nuts to all uf my friends.' Name given by Postum Co., Battle &*��_, Mich.

Show Room for Mason Sc Risch pianos ��� S/WV WWW^ V*WW%*W%%�� THE GITY Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Rosenberger are on thoir wny bock to Nelson and will probably arrive here the beginning of tho week. The steamer Kokanee this week brought down several shipments of ore from tbe Rambler-Cariboo and Sunset mines to Procter. W. C. McLean is at present in r"mir looking over tho site for the bridge- over the Salmon river to replace the structure which was carried away last year. The ladies of tlio W. C. T. U. will inset on Monday afternoon at 3 oclock in the Presbyterian church parlors. A cordial invitation extended to all ladies interested in the work of the society. A Hash light photo ol the soloists nnd chorus as they appeared on the stage of the opera bouse at the presentation of Stabat Mater given a few weeks ago is on exhibition in the window of the Queen studio. The regular meeting of the Socialist League will be held this afternoon in lhe Miners' Union hall, commencing at 1 o'clock. The subject for the afternoon's discussion will be, Jos. Martin, tbo Newly Appointed Liberal Leader and His I'atform. To have tbe cars running again in the day time was gioatly appreciated yesterday, especially by residents on the hill aud in Fairview, who had become so accustomed lo the convenience that it seemed like a great hardship to have to walk again, as was necessary for the past few days. II. W. Harbour, who has been C. P. II. agent at Sandon for a year, leaves shortly for Rossland to take the station there. A. C. McArther, who now holds tbe Rossland station, will get tho down town cllkie there, and R. I). McCammon, now at Trail, will succeed to the Sandon agency. The lake was frozen across this year on January 24, nut broke up the next day when the steamers came in. On January 20th the International was only able to get as far as Five Mile point, and after that date all transferring whs done at Procter until yesterday when tne International broke its way to tho city wharf, shoving in front of it a bargo loaded with cord wood. The lake was first crossed on foot on January 2llrd and the last crossing made was on Tuesday, February lltn. If the present soft weather continues theie will bo but little ice left on the lako by the end of this week. I Tonight at Emmanuel church, Rev. Wm. Monroe will preach on The Pastor and the Church. Tlie music for the serviee will be: Anthem, Gcd is With His People, (Leslie); bass solo, The Promise of Life, (Cowan,) by Fred Smith ; anthem, I) Lord Be Thou Merciful, (Perkins). A cordial invitation is extended to everyone. A small oak cabinet to be used as a holder for a dictionary card catalogue was received at the Nelson library yesterday. The cabinet was the gitt of Mrs. W, lieveridge, of Kirkcaldy, Scotland, who became interested in the library while visiting her Bister, Mrs. J. Laing Stocks, in Nelson, last summer, and had this presented to tbe library. Among those in the city yesterday was 11. B. (iilmore, M. L.A., for the City of Vnaeouver. Speaking of the approaching scssiou'of the legislature Mr. 'Jilmore said that Mr. Martin had given his word that be would insist on a redistribution bill being brought down first, before be would consent to anything else being dealt with. This did not necessarily mean tnat there would be a general election,but it put things in such shape that should tha government bo defeated the election that would be forced on, would return a house properly representative of tho people. After the passage ol that act ho could not predict what course events wonld take. Circulars fiom a Oerflian state lottery have been received by a number of persons in the city this week. The phraseology of the circular is most peculiar, having evidently been written by one who had learned English from books only. One paragraph reads: "After the drawing we inform our customers lrom the result of their participation, joining the official prize list and forwarding the prizes to all countries. Each customer can also let cover the amount of the obtained gain by a banking establishment by delivering the prize tioket." There ought to be a prize for an explanation of the meaning of tbe last sentence. Our windows aro small. If you don't see what you want in our window, ask for it.���The Wallace-Miller Co. Ltd. At present none of the steamers or railway trains leaving Nelson on Sundays carry mail. This is being found quite an inconvenience to the business part of the community aud a movement is on foot to nave an alteration made. There is a train out on the Spokane Falls and Northern railway but no mail goes by it; the Crow's Nest steamer leaves early in the morning but it does not carry mail, ncitner does the steamer for Kaslu and Kootenay lake points leaving in the afternoon. Another great convenience to business men would be the oarrying of mails by tho morning train over the C. P. R. for Trail and Kossiand. The mail from Rosslanu by tbe S.F. and N. arrives at 6 o'clock p.m. and that via the C.P.R. at 10.10 p.m. These mails are distributed the same night but after business hours. In tbe ordinary course of events the answer to a letter from Rossland would be too late to catch the S. F. and N. mail which leaves the upper station at 10.80. If that mall is missed there is no opportunity of forwarding the letter until 0.40 in tbe ovening by a mail that reaches Ross- laud at 10.40, so that almost two days are consumed before the Rossland man gets a reply to his letter to Nelson. If the correspondences originates in Nelson ths conditions are no better. ROSSLAND ORE SHIPMENTS. Output Again Lou- From Interruption in Power Supply. Rossland, Feb. 15.���The shipment" of ore from the camp since January 1st, are subjoined. While the shipments lor the past week can only be approximately given, those for tbe previous psriod have be;n corrected and give tho gross weight in short tons of_2,()00 pounds.

This was accomplished by aid of tbo old steam plant still in operation in tha propcrtty. Until further notice tho steamer Kokanee will only make a trip to Lardo once a week on Thursdays. LARGE FREIGHT TERMINALS. New York, Feb. 15.���Eight blocks of land on the South Brooklyn water front have been bought as a site for one of tho largest freight teiminals in the world. Irving T. Hush, paid over $1,500,000 to the Hunt estate for the property. It extends from Forty- Second to Fiftieth-street. It will be taken over by a new corporation capitalized at 15,000,000. Former Comptroller llird S. Coler, is financially interested in the corporation, and it was rumored that ho would become president of the new company. The property comprises the largest stretch of water front held by any private interest in Brooklyn. Money will be spent lavishly to develop the pioposed terminals. A systom of wharves, piers and warehouses will be erected, to be larger than any now existing along tne waterfront of New York or New Jersey. Each of the 1,300-foot piers will accommodate three of the largest ocean freight steamers at one timo. It will be pussiblo to unload vessels directly into railroad cars. The cars can tbon be lightered across the river to any point. Won- will begin or the terminals within a few months. Mr. Coler, Irving T.
