(Special to the Optimist) Tokio, July 27.���The absence of all reports from the warships sent to the relief of the .sufferers from the Hokkado earthquake, leads the authorities to believe the convulsions must have been more serious than reported. All the warships have wireless and why there should be no further reports of conditions is causing alarm. It is known from the latest despatches that fifty thousand people are homeless, injured and starving. World, Embracing Climates From Semi-Tropical to Sub-Arctic. FENIAN RAID VETERANS Will Wait Upon Sir Wilfrid and Ask For Scrip Victoria, July 25.���Veterans of the Fenian raids are seeking to receive similar rewards as those given to the Canadians who fought in South Africa.

Thp veterans of the fights in which the Fenians were driven back from Canada, ask that they each be given scrip for government lands similar to the award given the fighting men who served in South Africa. FOUR KILLED BY STRIKERS STRIKE-BREAKERS WERE UNDER POLICE PROTECTION Fierce Riot at Brooklyn Sugar Refinery in Which Scores Were Injured, Four Were Killed Outright And Three Will Die. Captain Nicholson has similar ideas to those expressed by Dan Mann in regard to the tourist possibilities of the steamer run from Vancouver here, but the Captain's ideas were being put into practice before Mr. Mann took the voyage up here which lead him to burst into enthusiasm as to its scenic advantages. Captain Nicholson says the Grand Trunk company prepared to go after the tourist business by the time its new steamers were in operation, and the first day through tickets were offered to Prince Rupert at the company's New- York office six were sold. The sales have since been gradually increasing. When the transcontinental line is completed the company will have the greatest tourist route in the world for all the year round. The year will open with excursionists from the east by way of Los Angeles and California coast points, where the tourists will stay until the weather gets too warm for them and then they will go northward with the wild ducks and hear the crocus cuss because winter lingers so long in the lay of spring. By that time tlie"heat in tne east will have become so unbearable that a rush northward will be inevitable. But a short distance north, just over the boundary of New York state, and they are in a land of summer whose sunshine is tempered by cooling breezes carrying the perfumes of boundless prairies. About the time the Yukon ducks are flying south again, our tourists in the north will hanker after a spot where the sun gives out more genial warmth, and the California coast will catch the trade. The great resorts there welcome this combination with the Grand Trunk, and both parties to this mutually beneficial arrangement will feel its effects from now on, as will be shown in the largely increased steamer travel to this port during the balance of this season. (Special to the Optimist) New York, July 28.��� One of the most frightful riots took place this morning on the Brooklyn docks of the American Sugar Refinery company. The trouble started when a number of strike breakers were put to work under the protection of the police. As soon as the men begun a huge mob rushed the squad of policemen, two being toppled into the river and attacked the workmen. Revolvers were drawn on both sides and cudgels and bricks were freely used as weapons and as missiles. The fierce fighting lasted over half an hour, until the police reserves came up. They lined up and immediately the command was given to advance. The police rushed into the crowd clubbing right and' left indis criminately, and the riot was soon ended. Many of the first batch of police were badly injured. Four dead bodies were picked up and over a score were bo badly injured they were sent to the hospital. It is believed that three of these cannot recover. Speculation in Calgary Lots Calgary, July 28���(Special)���Seventy- five thousand dollars worth of lots in the new Canadian Pacific railway subdivision were sold during the one afternoon of yesterday. More Troops Sent to Barcelona and Saragossa���Revolutionists Urging General Strike to Begin Tomorrow Morning. (Special to the Optimist) Toulouse, France, July 28.���The Spanish military censorship has been still further tightened and especially as against San Sebastian on the French frontier, which has been the only point fo- a couple of weeks th ough which reliable news of the course of the revolution was obtainable. Messages arrived here by courier yesterday direct from Madrid with the latest intellegence. The government is taking every precaution and hoping by the display of military power to overawe those inclining to be rebelled. Two thousand new troops have been dispatched to Barcelona to reinforce the two thousand gendarmes there. At Saragosa the garrison has also been strengthened and everything there is prepared for the threatened uprising. But the revolitionists are by no means idle. All the walls in all the principal cities are liberally placarded, as fast as the police tear them down, with notices issued by the revolutionary party urging a general strike throughout the country to begin tomorrow. Many preparations are being made for this, people looking forward to tomorrow morning as the dawn of a great battle for constitutional liberty and possibly for the declaration of a republic. GRAND TRUNK STRIKE SITUATION BECOMES ACUTE. Troops Going to Columbus Are Stoned by Strikers.���Yard-Master at Buffalo Ordered to Leave Town or be Shot. (Special to the Optimist) Montreal, July 28.- The general opinion here seems to be that the men are losing in the G and Trunk Pacific railway strike although the men themselves do not for a moment admit this. Certainly they are losing much of the public sympathy, owing to the inconvenience caused by the strike's duration and the unpromising lookout, as well as from the menacing position the men have taken at many points along the system. It is rerorted that the men have offered to go to work under the original offer made by President Hays pending the appointment of the arbitration board, but this cannot be verified. CRIPPEN ON MONTROSE CONTRADICTORY REPORTS ARE SET AT REST A MILE A MINUTE De Lesseps Maker Record-Breaking Flight at Montreal Wireless From Steamer Montrose To Montreal States That Both Alleged Murderer and His Accomplice Mile Leneve Are on Board (Special to the Optimist) Montreal, July 28.���Young De Lessep made the record flight for Canada Tuesday night in a Bleriot aeroplane.

(Special to the Optimist) Montreal, July 28.��� 12:15 p.m.��� A wireless despatch just received from the steamer Montrose says that Dr. Crippen and Mile Leneve are both on board, and that there is no doubt whatever about their identification. The two will be handed over to the police as soon as the Montrose is docked, and held for the arrival of Inspector Dowe, who took passage from Liverpool on the Laurentic and is expected to land at Rimouski and intercept the Montrose there. Detroit, July 28.���Four companies of the First regiment have been sent to Durand, where the strike situation is acute. This is the central divisional point on the Grand Trunk. Hamilton, 0., July 28.-A troop tram, carrying infantry to Columbus, was stoned passing through here by the Grand Trunk strikers. Buffalo, July 28.���The strike situation is growing more and more serious. Following a meeting of the strikers a delegation of strike sympathizers waited upon Yardmaster Foster and told him that he would be shot unless he left the town at once. The mob began to burn freight cars last night and there were several fights between strikers and strike breakers, but nothing serious. This morning the strikers seem to be desperate and the need of more troops is keenly felt.

Bryan Now a Dead One Grand Island, Neb., July 28.���(Special)���By the defeat of Bryan's motion at the Democratic plank convention of Nebraska, the fact is made apparent that his power in the state has very much declined. He has been a power in the state for twenty years.but that he is so no longer is not in doubt. (Special to the Optimist) London, July 28.���At the second reading of the Declaration bill in the house of commons last night the Nonconformists introduced an amendment which was debated at great length and finally carried. The motion was to substitute "I am a faithful Protestant" in place of "I am a faithful member of the Protestant church as by law established". It was held by the non-conformists that this made the British ruler a member of what was at one time denominated The Established Church, or the Church of England. The declaration of his religion should be confined to the sect only and not one of the sects of Protestan- (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5.)

Thursday, July 28 AN INVERTED THEORY Aid. Lynch seems to have reversed the generally accepted theory, of a mixed plan of charging municipal improvements. Of course that does not necessarily prove Aid. Lynch's theories to be wrong any more than a Chinaman's method of doing things backwards is wrong, but Oriental things are not popular in this city and Aid. Lynch's ideas are rather hard to reconcile each to the other. In most towns where some improvements are charged to the general fund and others to frontage tax the plan is to charge street work to the whole city and sewers to the property benefitted. The theory is that all citizens use ?he streets but only the property abutting it can use the sewers. Aid. Lynch's theory is that the adjoining property gets all the benefit of- an improved road but the whole town is benefitted by a sewer because it will prevent a pestilance. It sounds more like a misquoted primary lesson than a logical theory. Why not carry the idea a bit further and have the city pay for the bath-tub and the soap. Up to the present time residents have considered it an obligation to take care of the disposition of their own sewage and have paid for it. A public sewer would be greeted with favor because it would give opportunity for additional convenience in the way of baths dnd lavatories. The user would be willing to pay for it because it is a more economical method of getting rid of the waste. This idea of an epidemic is rather thin logic. If the lack of sewers in section one, where a small proportion of the people reside, is likely to cause an epidemic, what is likely to occur in' sections five and six where residences are crowding in? If the public chest should be made keep the people of section one clean and wholesome should it not wash the residents of sections five, six and seven and eight? An epidemic of typhoid is just as likely to originate in a cess-pool in section seven as it is in section one. ' What benefit is a sewer in section one to the man living in section seven, if his neighbor has a cess-pool in his back-yard.. The ordinary[man who is unaccustomed to theorizing on the weighty problems of civic affairs is likely to assume that if we are to have sewers to avoid an epidemic then everybody should have a sewer but if the sewers are for the convenience of the property and buildings in section one, then section one should pay for it. LOST IN THE FOG City Clerk E. A. Woods and Mrs. Woods Out on the Harbor City Clerk E. A. Woods and Mrs Woods had an uncomfortable experience last night while boating on the harbor. They crossed over to the rifle ranges and when the fog made its appearance they started for home, but the fog was too fast for them and in a short time they were unable to see the length of their boat. Mr. Woods pulled ahead, thinking he was coming straight across, but he was going down the harbor all the time. The fog bell on one of the steamers soon told him that he was out of his course and was lost. Being lost at sea was a new experience for him, but he made the best of it and awaited his time. It was after midnight before he and Mrs. Woods got home and they were wet to the skin from the heavy fog. TORPEDO BOAT TRIP Took the Shrinen to Stewart in Record Time One of the features of the entertainment provided by the local brethren for the visiting Shriners on Monday night was a flying trip in a torpedo boat to the mining camp and back. The torpedo boat had come in to Rupert to coal up and as some of the Shriners wanted to see Stewart the boat was chartered and the passengers got on. The trip was made at the rate of forty miles an hour and the torpedo boat got back at three a.m. just in time to catch the Princess Royal as she started for Skagway. The authority for this story is one of the passenger list and it is published for what it is worth. It is what he told his wife when he got home.

Last week similar complaints came in from Stewart, mosquitoes also being particularly ferocious at that point, as the faces and hands of many of the travellers testified. Prince Rupert people should therefore consider themselves fortunate that they can enjoy this hot weather free from such pests. No mosquitoes or blacck flies have been noticed in the city all this summe-, and thee are few of the common house flies. When sanitary inspector looks after the cleanliness of the stables there will be still fewer. OVER THE OUNTAINS Stewart and Kelleher Coming Along The Line from Edmonton J. W. Stewart, of Foley, Welch & Stewart and B. B. Kelleher, chief engineer of the railway, are on their way along the line of the transcontinental from Edmonton. They started from there last week and will probably be nearly three months on the trip, and they will make stops at various points to investigate the construction work. Foley, Welch & Stewart have contracts on the other side of Yellowhead pass as well as on this side. CONTRACT SIGNED Westholme Lumber Co., Will Supply The City With Lumber The Westholme Lumber Co., signed the contract this morning to supply Prince Rupert with a million and a quarter feet of lumber. They have about half a million feet in the yards here and the scow was sent south to the mills today for another load. It will be back in twenty to thirty days with three quarters of a million feet more. The Westholme Lumber Co., submitted the lowest tender and the city was fortunate in getting the material for their roads at such a low figure. The work can start on the new plank roads any time, so far as the lumber is concerned.

D. NEWTON Real Estate Notary Public Read The Optimist BODY FOUND IN DUGOUT Lonely Prospector Took Sick and Froze to Death Juneau, July 23.���The body of Thomas Rox, froxen stiff, was found lying in a bunk in a humble dugout on the shore of Port Chatham, one of the many indentures of Cook inlet, by a party of four natives. The natives were taking food supplies to Rox, at the instance of Alley, a Port Chatham trader, when the shocking tragedy was revealed. The natives immediately notified Steve Melchoir, the nearest white inhabitant, who returned with them to the late home of the deceased, and carefully'interred the remains. In the lonely prospector's rude dugout there remained plenty of food, but but little clothing and no fire wood. The theory is that Rox became ill, was confined to his bed and unable to gather fire wood, which .was in plenty had he been able to get out. Rox was well known in the Cook inlet country, where he had resided for the past ten years. AEROPLANES FOR WAR United States to Purchaae Two With Which to Make Experiments (Special to the Optimist) Washington, D.

Men Wh6 Do Thinga Among tours of politicians, we do not say political tours, that of the Minister of the Interior easily beats all records. He went down the Mackenzie and across country to Dawson. * If Mr. Oliver were not a newspaper man, we should express surprise, but as it is we do feel any. He only set himself an assignment and went out and covered it.���Victoria Colonist. When Gabriel's Horn Blow* Mr. Joseph Martin says he is disappointed with the British Liberal party.

The number of people whose homes are in furnished rooms��� "homes within homes"���is very large. And among the people who live in "one room homes" are an increasing number who like to have things a little better than usual. They like to have a pleasant room, and they like to have it fitted up DISTINCTIVELY, with taste. They will cheerfully, eagerly, pay for SOMETHING BETTER in the way of a furnished room. Fix yours up to please the particular tenants, and ADVERTISE ACCORDINGLY, and you'll get back your investment with profit in a very brief time. Try Optimist want ads.

It is but a question of a few months when the construction trains will be running to a point between Newtown and Kitselas, and then for the next year Kitselas will be the division end and junction point between the railway and up river travel. The steel is now laid about thirty miles out of Prince Rupert, and it is being laid at the rate of a little over one mile per day, after it is laid east of mile 59, two miles and better per day will be laid. All contractors between Knox river and Copper river have about finished their work, none having over a month's work more to do. The bridging of the different streams presents no serious problem, and allowing the track layer to average two miles per day after they are by mile 59, all streams will even at that be bridged before the track is within several miles of them. It is safe to predict than in another year settlers will be taken from Prince Rupert to the Bulkley valley by rail, instead of part of the way by river steamers and the remainder distance by stage, as is the case today.- AN ALASKA VOLCANO Mount Shishaldi Crater is Now Merely Throwing Out Smoke Juneau, Alaska, July 25.��� The eruption of Mount Shjehaldi on Unimak Island, is rapidly lessening, according to Captain William Gregory, of the lighthouse tender Amreria, which has just arrived here from Unimak. Recently the mountain was reported to be shooting great sheets of pur flame high into the skies. Now, Gregory says, the crater is merely smoking, and the sides of the peak are covered with snow to the edge of the pit. Gregory said that the lighthouse keepers un Unimak Island, which is but a short distance from the. mountain, are not afraid to remain there. . Thaw Appeals Again Albany, N.

Fulton St. and Third Ave. ADVERTISING FOR A MAYOR GERMANY'S METHOD OF SECURING CIVIC EXECUTIVE Saves Election Expense* and May Lessen Graft System Alderman Lynch is so Afraid of Seeing Established in City of Prince Rupert, Berlin, July 25.��� Following the Herman theory that the best way to fill a municipal office is to hire the best available expert in the particular line of work to be done, the city of Magdeburg, by the president of its council, is advertising conspicuously in prominent German newspapers: "The place of mayor of Magdeburg is vacant. The salary is 21,000 marks per year, including the rental of a dwelling in the city hall. Besides the salary the incumbent will receive 4000 marks ($1000) for his official expenses. Candidates should apply before Sept. 1." The practice of hiring official mayors is no novelty in Germany, where sometimes two cities bit in competition with each other for a capable man. The Magdeburg advertisement attracts special attention, as it is the first large city to advertise in filling so important an office. The retiring mayor, Dr. Lentz, was lately promoted to be Russian minister of finance. ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE Met in City Hall and Organized For Their Work The entertainment committee in connection with the reception of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and party who visit here next month, was held in the city hall last night when several sub-committees were organized. The sub-committees will look up several proposals in the way of entertainment and will report back at a meeting to be held at an early date. No Council Meeting There was no meeting of the city council last night. Several of the members had a meeting on in connection with the Laurier reception. The city fathers will convene tonight as usual. Trial Tomorrow G. T.

From the rear hatch they are getting off the Grand Trunk Pacific rails and it is hoped the unloading will be finished be for this time next week. From here the Belle of Scotland goes to Portland, Ore., to load four million feet of lumber for. China for the Chines* Import and Export Lumber company. Bay Team Runs Away Beattie's fine team of bays were feeling in a frisky mood Tuesday morning and started from Second avenue down Centre street at a wild burst of speed. Nobody was hurt, the people clearing the way in short order. But the team came near having a salt water bath. The dray fortunately struck the corner of Mr. Crandall's office and the team came to a full stop right on the edge of the wharf. School Board A meeting of the Public School Board will be held at the new school this afternoon for the purpose of inspecting the building and giving the contractor ideas on details such as painting, graining etc. Police Court There has been nothing doing in police court circles for the past two or three days. Chief McCarvell and his men deserve much credit for the way they are handling their end of the town. Civic Holiday The very warm weather the past few weeks has caused a number of the business and professional men to wish for a civic holiday. One man stated this morning that the mayor should proclaim a holiday in the near future. Sell For Cash On and after September 1st I will sell for Cash Only.
