Washington, May 17. ��� As the result of a conference at tho Foreign oflice in London hetweon Lord Salisbury, Sir Julian Paunecfoto, and Ambassador Ohoate, it can now bo predicted that tho High Joint, Commission to adjust issues between tho United Statos aud Canada will be reassembled during tbe coming summer or early fall, Tbis outcome is not positively assured, but Mr. Cbnate's report of the exchanges at the Foreign Olliee certainly conveys great encouragement to the ollicials here and warrant the expectation that negotiations may bo again taken up with some prospeot of reaching au arrangement. It can be stated that if the coninisision re-convenes it will only do so upon a complete abandonment of tho old basis, which proved to be unsuitable to tbo erection of a complete agreement and the Uuited States will bave some sort of assurance in advanoe of the nature and degree of tbe concessions thnt may be expeoted from the other side, the lank of which, it is said, caused the failure of tbo lirst negotiations. Washington, May 17.���The boundary u6stion is said to be the main obstacle to an agreement, so much so, that the commission took ils last adjournment because nf manifest inability to ccmo together on this noint. Since then the tw<- governments have triod to Ret-, lie tbii question and some progress n.is beeu made. A final agreement does not appear to bo in sight and a temporary adjustment n a modus vivendi is still open, tinder tho circumstances the offloials concerned iu the negotiations aro favorably considering arbitration as a means of selttement of tbo boundary matter. If the plan could be 'fleeted if is suid tbe commission would not only suro of re-assembliug but it would meet with every prospect of winding up all outstanding difficulties between Canada and tbe United Slates. While tho plan of arbitration is most Favorably entertained by ollicials, il is not known bow far it bas gone in the wav of negotiations with Lord Salisbury, Washington, May 17.���Tho negotiations bave taken a new turn by tha suggestion that tbs Alaskan boundary queBtion be submitted to arbitration independent of the to the issues involved, thus leaving tbe commission free io resume its work ou tbo many othor pending questions.

PEN LAID TIE IRVING IN BETTER HEALTH. In tbis country nnd ou tbo other side difficulties aud disputes between railway companies and Inwusile companies are numerous, and sometimes the towusite people, but usually tbe railway companies, wiu. It is not long since friction between Moyie City and the C. P. R. induced the lutter company to build tbeir station some two miles out of town, but tho Nelson St Fort Sheppard Company have recently resorted to still moro drastic measures at Salmo. There has been a dispute of ancient date between the West Kootenay Lam" Company, who own the Salmo town- site, and the Nelson & Fort Sheppard Railway, of whioh tho facts appear to bo as follows. It seems that there was an agreement between tho two where by the towusite company were to pay half tho cost of erecting a depot. The towusite company also claim that the depot was to be eroded al a place convenient to tbeir towusite. The depot was duly nrocted, but the town- site people were dissatisfied with its site. Who was in the right, it is diffloult iu tho light of recent information to say, but the fact remains that the towusite company, considering the railway had not kepi to Iho agreement, declined to pay their half. And- this is where tho "sloppy road" got iu its deadly work. Two or three days ago a gang of men appeared, and preceded In take down tbe depot, pjrmtjy ll.o piide of Salmo. It was a substantially built frame nnilding 75 feet by 20. They took il to pieces and piled the timbers on cars. In a short timo it was entirely dismantled, and now only a strip of plat forin is left. Some of the stuff is still nn some cars on the siding awaiting shipment, but the bulk of the remains of the defunct station have beeu transported to Oolville, Wash., whore tbey will be put together again as an addition to tbo station buildings there. TO JOIN THE TRACKS. Tho Nelson & Fort Sheppard has another small complication on its hands, this time with reference to the transhipping of freight from tbo Crow's Nest Pass, which bas resulted iu thrum porary susnension of tbe movement of coke from Fernie. It will be remembered that tbe Northport smelter uow gets its coke from tho Crow's Nest, and recently ordered one thousand tons. Previously it got its coke from Fairview or Pennsylvania. The coke was transferred from the cars into a barge, aud from the barge it was reloaded into the Nelson St Fort Sheppard cars. This was a cumbersome and expensive process, aud the railway company bas given notice it will receive no moro coke at Five Mile Point owing to tbe lack of facilities there. The easiest solution of the liiliculty would be an arrangement for Ihe transfer of traffic between the C. P. R. nud the American line. Tho C. P. R has already built up to Ibe edge of the Nelson & For' Sheppard right-of-way beyond the sampling works, and of course can go no further. Tbe Nelsou St Fort Sheppard lino comes within abont 11(10 feet of where the C. P. R. lino ends, and tbe connection oould be made at trifling expense. Negotiations are now pending for the arrangement of n transfer nf traffic, and before long this improvement should be elfectod. HOW THE KARL WAS KILLED Some Further Particulars of His Tragic Death.

Th money by-laws of which so much has been said in advnnco, some of it foolishly and ill-advisodly, we believe, are now beforo tho people and in a few days thoy will ho asked to declare at tho polls -whether thoy wish thorn to go into effect. Thoy will moan an addition of sixty or seventy thousand dollars to tho debenture debt of the City. That will moan in its turn a slight addition to the present taxos. We pay a shore of tho extra burden, and thoso who oo.ne alter us a share ; for tbey aro long term debouturos, and as the improvements tho niouoy is intended to provide aie all necessary aud of a permanent character, it is proper that the next generation of citizens shall help to pay for them. A little common sense is all any ratopayor requires to enable him to take the proper view of his duty in respect to those by-laws. Once every year we elect a Mayor and six Aldermen to look aftor and manage corporation affairs. A fow months ago this was done, and the selection has since boon regarded as a very good one. We havo an intelligent, caie- ful, und capable Council. They bavo been chosen to do the City's business. and having gone into tho matters covered by the by-laws thoy bave concluded that these thousands are neces sary to provide for the safety, comfort, and welfare of the Oity. They have given to these various matters much greater consideration than the avorago ratepayer has either time or inclination to do, and their position enables them to do this to batter advantage and therefore more intelligently than those who are not charged with responsibility for them. If we trust the men, we can safely adopt their recommendation. They say the money is required, and they are more likely to know than the reBt of us. Wo elected them to look after these things, believing in their fitness, and if we are wise wo shall voto tho mouey and leave them to expend it in tbo public interest, on the plan indicated in tbo by inwB. Another thing: This town cannot afford to staud still; wa must continue to progress or drop out of the running. We desire to attract population and multiply businoss. To do this we must put the town iu good order. The embellishments will come later on ; at present our duty is to lay a foundation on which a healthy, thriving town can continue to grow without dangor of collapse. We want a good water service, a good sewerage systom, and for comfort all the conveniences of good lighting. Theso are necessary if the town is to continue to grow. If wo fail to provide thorn, we vote ourselves unequal to the opportunities which nature and circumstances combined have placed in our hands. must know who his correspondents are before ho can allow letters to appear, the more especially when thoy presume as this ono does, to criticise a third party. This rule is so old and so widely established that wo would have thought the very birds in tbe air know of it. An A. P. em-respondent in London is assured that tbe Washington negotiations have not beeu broken off or endangered, and adds that if matters proceed as smoothly as at present Kir Julian Paunoefote'S return to Washington will bo signalised by Ihe conclusion of a tmaty retracting evory question in dispute, in a manner hon- orablo and pleasing to all concerned. CANADIAN DOBS GOOD WORK. What Dr. Doolittle has dono towards providing the town with a bicycle path affords all of ub a most useful little object lesson. Givon a liberal supply of energy, with determination to match, and any person who knows exactly ���what is wanted can set about getting it in quick order. There was nothing especially difficult, and therefore extraordinary, in raising in a day a hundred and fifty or two hundred doll-irB in a town liko Nelson, whoso people are distinguished lor their i ublic spirit nnd generosity; all it wanted was a man with a purpose, aud tho man presented himself in tho person of Dr. Dooli*te. Another man with a similar purpose would havo done the same, but unfortunately few of us take the trouble to enthusiate the purpose, or, having it, are fihy in putting it to praotical use. Perhaps now that we see how simple it all is some of us will be encouraged to imitate the Doc tor when another occasion presents itself. Tbe Deadman's Island squabble has not been an elevating or inspiring one, and thero wero doubtless follies and faults on both aides. But there can be no question of thu entire propriety of the latest act in the little drama. Neither Mr. Ludgate nor any other person cau bo permitted for oue moment to resist the authority of the law. He may havo his pockets full of Dominion leases, but that does not make him superior to tho law in British Columbia. The authorities are to be commended for acting with snob decision, and if Mr. Ludgate is left to cool bis heelB in jail it will serve him right. Gets tho Harlem Spoodway Back For tlso of the Public.

Mr. Doll did not shrug bis shoulders after tbe "go- easy" American fashion and use another driveway. Hn stood squarely upon bis rights and at great trouble and expense brought about the condemnation of tho coterio aforesaid by Judge Gildersloevo. Tho judge decided that the so-called "speedway" is not a private race track but a public drive, and that the Department of Public. Works bad violatetd tbe plain intent of tho law in excluding froni it all except owners of race-horses. Tbo racing coterie professes to bo much aggrieved that, its benevolent plans for giving[the people the froo daily opportunity of seeing how fast its horses can go, have boon defeated. But fortunately these benevolent racing mon can if they will change defeat into victory.

NOTHING DONE YET Tfl PUBLIC SCHOOL EsvE&A Many Children Deprived of Schooling- ROOMS STILL CLOSED Viotoria CrJ7ornui3!it Has Takra No Stops to Havo tlio School Put iu Proper Condition, Still nothing lias 1-een dono nli-iut tho public aohool. To tho first 10 tho Victoria Government on tho sm, .loot uo answer wns received. When word was wired that unless something was done the two rooms for junior children must be clusod, a letter was finally sent saying to ^ncl particulars liy mail. This was dono and still the rooms remain as bofore, and [somo 120 or more children who should bo nt- tending school aro lott. to play in tho streets all day. ��� B It Booms strange that such a condition of things can exist in a civilized cominuuity. In one small town, Wardner, B. 0., before there wns any assurance of tlie iK'i'iiianoney of tho town, tho Government built a comfortable school house, properly fitted up and equipped'. Before the sobotl house was finished, the railway being finished and the floating population thnt accompanies railway construction having moved on there -were not 11 ore than a dozen obildren, if that of school nuo in tho town, nnd of those, the families of two stayed iu Wardner bicnuse of the school, Nelson, with considerably over n hundred children that, are deprived of schooling advantages because there is 110 school rooms for them to gu to, nnd with tlie hundreds that are attending badly crowded rooms, is pot off from month to month with trivial excuses. Most of tho children thus turned out of school have comfortable hemes nud parents who cm look after them, but a large percentage owing to their parents working all day or through sickness and other causes not being able to soo to them aro simply turned loose in the streets from morning till night learning the language nud tastes that tbe streets teach. Aro tbe parents who can afford it to bo forced to send tbeir children to other cities or to the little mining camps and railway construe tion towns for education, and if so what are the ones to do who ct.niiot afford to scud their children away, are questions that are asked every day. Nelson -possesses so many advantages ns n residential city thnt it, seems a shame that tbe school, one of tbe first and principal requirements of an up-to-date city should be larking. J (f it wns only a delay of a few weeks that had occmred since the matter was first mndo prominent it would not lie so bad, but one month has followed another, culniinatiug in tho closing of the two worst rooms on May 1. Nearly thrto weeks have passed by since then, bnt nothing has been dono. and nt present thore are apparently no prospects of anything being done in the near torture. How manv families tire residing in other towns that would bo living here if tho school had beeu put in proper condition some months ago it wculd be hard to say, but undoubtedly thoy are not few. One instanci (and thero aro probably many similar ones) is hore given. A railway contractor on tbo Nelson-Bed lington Railway brought his wife and children hero from Winnipeg intending tn have them reside here and attend school, so that they would bo near him. Ho had beon in Nolson several times and liked it very much aud brought on his family nover doubting of the educational facilities. Thoy stayed hero ono week, nnd then tbo family wns sent back to Winnipeg, so thnt the ehildien could got proper schooling. The condition of affairs tbat caused thnt is ono thnt nIToots not only parents, tint every-business man and citi zen of Nolson. adu, notwithstanding the serious proposition of looking after tho other members of the parly. In* bad had an opportunity lo observe the richness ii e * lean hn n open to Iho importance of this part of the t'onti Dent. Mayor Neelands met the mem hers of the party and helped to make their stay hum enjoyable. Ho extended tbem au invitation to remain hire another day and visit, some of tho Bnrroun liug mines but as olher ar- riingements bad been marie it whs not possible lo comply with his invitation. The patty left last night for Kossland and will return to Nelson tonight leaving tomorrow morning for a trip through the Slo.au country. A DOG'S INVOLUNTARY MEAL, Yesterday afternoon a Nelson lady wi died to show a friend som i of Ho accomplishments of the handsome English setter by whieh she was accompanied. She gave him hor handkerchief to carry ami tbo dog slalked solemnly along looking neither to the right nor the left, carrying Ibe hand- kerchief in his mouth over a block, loner | when a look of distress came into his intelligent eyes, lie sat down and Started to gulp and gulp, till the tears streamed down his cheeks, and just thou his mistrass discovered that, her handkerchief was missing. Evidently a corner of the handkerchief got in tbe dog's throat, und onio it. started it bad to go all tho way down. SOME BIG EXPRESS MEN.

Mr. Shepnrd hns been iu the express business longer than any othor man in tho continent aud what he does not know about it wonld not givo a novice much trouble in looking up. This is the fist time ho ever came so far west LOCAL AND PERSONAL Aid. Hillyer is expected back from t'.io Ooast tonight. There was a clean shoot at tho Oity Polico Court yesterday.

Nothing has beon done yet towards placing a street light at the comer of Ward and Victoria, to light up tl.e Opera Houso corner. Mr. Phil Hickey, manager of the Minnesota Silver Mining Oompany, spent yesterday in the City ou his way through to Rosslaud from Sandon. Scores of unfinished buildings, throughout the Oity, bear witness to the difficulty of getting iu laths fast enough to nStarry moot the demand. Work on the sampling works is being pushed rapidly forward, aud if all goes well they ought to be ready by the Uith of June, if tbe machinery arrives in time. The cottage addition of the Cri k may Hospital is now completed, the plasterers having finished yesterday and the carpenters starting iu on the finishing work today. During tho past three davs the Chief of Police has been warning tbe occupiers of premises to cleun up their backyards and alleyways. A noticeable improvement has resulted.

SLOOAN MINING NOTES Work Done on the Ivanhoe and Sunshine Groups���Othor Slocan Notes��� An Explanation. Tho Pom Gold Milling Company has linen reorganized, und Iho head oflioe transferred from Vancouver to Nelson. Mr. Urigstock is tho secretary of the newly organized company, aud he is expected here today or tomorrow. Three well known gentlemen have been elected as resident directors, Messrs. J. J. Campbell, George Kydd, and P. W. Peters. An oflice has been provisionally engaged in tho Hillyer block, and a mooting will shortly be held to discuss the best method of continuing the operations of the mine. The Pern, it will be remembered, is situated at Hall Sid ing aud is a free milliug proposition. The ore has changed slightly in char acter with depth, and last autumn a chlorination plant was put iu to extract values which escaped the stamps and the vanners. The miue has already paid several dividends. Mr. Phil Hiokey, manager of the Minnostota Silvor Mining Company was in town yesterday, when a Miner reporter had a talk with him about his company's properties. The company aro operating the Ivanhoe aud Sun- shiue groups, comprising 10 claims iu all, which adjoin those well kuown mines the Ruth and the Slocan Star. On the Sunshine a cross-nut driven from the lower tunnel struck a very good body of ore last winter. A drift has been run along.this vein for about 175 feet, aud the good values are maintained. This ore body averages about two feet in width and is a parallel veiu to the Queen Bess vein further sonth. On the Ivanhoe about 5,800 feet of development work hns been done, and a very large quantity of ore has been blocked out, but no sloping has beeu done, the ore shipped lust wiutor baviug boeu taken out in the course of development work. There is a largo amount of cloau oro, as well as concentrating ore in sight*. The ore of those properties averages about 1(0 ouunces in silver, and no less than (is per cent. lead. It is intended to erect a 100-tou concentrator on the properties next summer. It is also intended to eroct a concentrator on the Slocan Star, while the uew concentrator at tho Ruth mine has already been begun, and the foundation timbers were being hanled in the other day. The Noble Pivo is lookiug very well, as is tho Queen Bess. The Payue is shipping about 50 tous a day, ai:d tho Last Chauce about 20 tous. The Idaho and the Reco are not shipping at present owing to the state of the roads. It is impossible to rawhide any longer and tho snow has not gone off sufficiently to permit of pacing or hauling oro in wagons. For this reason this time of the yenr is always rather quiet in the Slocan, though otherwise everything is looking well. A NOTICE. As the anuoucomout has been made that the Governmeut of British Columbia purpose forcing the Amendment to the Mctalliforous Mines Inspection Act, making eight hours a working day for those employed underground in metalliferous mines; Sec. lit.���"No person shall be employed underground in any metalliferous miue for more than eight hours in every twenty-four hours;" the undersigned as represent. ing one of the tw<i parties mainly affected, consider it advisable to make publio their views on the situation created by'this uncalled for legislation, and to indicate what their line of action must inevitably be. While the noderslgood am determined to respect and adliero to the laws of tho Province, it may bo pointed out that this law is far reaching in the injuries it must infliot upou tho mining interests of the Province, and on the amount of wages earned by tlie men. It moans reducing the hours of labor in tho mines from 20 hours a dny to Hi hours, us mnny of tho mines are so circumstanced that three shifts cannot bo worked to advantage. This meuus a reduction of 20 per cent in the amount of the production of many mi es, aud a reduction of 20 per cent iu the development work boiug carried ou in tho mines prepnring for production and a reduction in the supplies used in tne niiLes. The most amicable relations existed, and still exist, between the em ployers and employed at tho mines. The meu wero earning good wages, equal to any being paid in ramps in the Uuited Stutes, and higher thau thoso paid in many,und they were rendering good services for tliese wages. If unv discontent was rife at the existing state of affairs, it was not generally known. It is therefore deeply to bo regretted thut the Legislature has see fit disturb the existing bar- mony, to interfere with tho growing prosperity of the miniug diftricts, to reduce the -wages oarniug power of tho men employed, and to interfere with tho free light of contract hithor- to enjoyed. As to tho future, after the 1st of June next, at the minns represented by the undersigned, the standard rate of wages that will bo paid to skilled miners for an eight hours working day will bo three dollars ($3.00), and other labor will necessarily bu also paid for according to the time worked.
