Price, Five Cents Iking alfonso goes to cowes ��@������@��������������������������@����������@ Is Really Seeking Advice of Great Britain [Believed In Rome That Spain's Severance of Diplomatic Relations With Vatican Foreshadows Downfall of Spanish Dynasty. through Rambouillet this morning. DR. CRIPPEN CONFESSED HAS | MLLE. LENEVE TELLS HER STORY (Special to the Optimist.) Paris, August 3.���With the streets teeming with Spanish exiles, extreme precautions are being taken by the French authorities to guard against any attack upon King Alfonso, Queen Victoria and their children when they arrived at the Elysce Palace as the guests of President Failleres. It is reported ' they passed London, August 3.��� It is officially stated that although King Alfonso left his ministers a free hand to deal with the pressing problems before the government when he left, he really comes to England seeking advice as to the probable action of the foreign office in regard to his break with the Vatican. Rome, August 3.��� The mutual recall of Monsignor Vico, papal nuncio to the Spanish court, immediately following that of Ambassador Ojeda by King Alfonso, means a complete severance of all diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the Spanish court, and the open rupture is believed here to foreshadow the downfall of the Spanish dynasty. LAND GRABBERS BUSY I All the Land Taken Up Along Linr Of Railway to Aldermere W. H. Dempster, the able assistant of Mr. Pope on the right of way, came in Monday from Aldermere on his way to Victoria. He says that all the land that is worth anything, along the line between here and Aldermere has been taken up, and for sections back in some places. He spoke strongly on the subject of the land grabbers, men who get possession of large tracts of land and hold them in an unproductive state for speculative purposes, and thinks the government ought to dispose of no land nithout a proviso that it should be pmmediately improved. Aldermere is the terminus of the Ihundred and twenty-seven mile section rom Kitselas, the contract for which was et last fall. He says the railway builders lave made good progress in that section [considering the scarcity of labor. The ���contractors could handle many more men pf they could get them. Aldermere valley is rapidly filling up with the better class of settlers, wen who mean business and will make the land produce all it is possible for it to produce. The government has completed a fine wagon road from Hazel ton, and forty men are now at work on it making good the bad places that have developed. He sees a great future for agriculture in the Aldermere valley. FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE London Times on Sir Wilfrid's Suggested Peace Celebration (Special to the Optimist) London, August 3.���Referring to the suggestion of Sir Wilfrid Laurier the celebration of a century of peace between Great Britain and the United States, the Times this morning says the empire and the United States can count between them one hundred and thirty millions of one European race, and in the expression of their desire lies the world's best hopes of peace. Charlton's Extradition. New York, August 3.���The time for the extradition of Charlton for murder of his wife at Como, has expired without any action on the part of Italy. Departs Friday. Prof. Macdonald will give phrenological advice only two days more at Hotel Annex. See him now. Homes ALD. MdNTYRE HAS QUESTIONS Why Was Second Avenue Graded First Long Discussion Over Engineer's Report and How to Proceed .With The Work.���Original Plan Still Holds Good. Aid. Mclntyre displayed something of an inquisitive nature at the council meeting last night when he asked why Second avenue was to be graded first, in preference to First avenue, or Third "venue. He received an explanation from the mayor but he was not satisfied with that. Aid. Lynch also gave him a reason for not doing Third avenue first. Inquisitive Alderman Aid. Mclntyre asked for information as to why work should be started on Second avenue first instead of First avenue or Third. He could not understand any particular reason for this. The mayor stated that on Second avenue there were sewer and water works already in and the engineer could get out those plans more quickly. Aid. Mclntyre said there were exactly the same water works and sewer mains on Third avenue as on Second, so that that argument fell flat. Aid. Lynch said that one thing holding up Third avenue a little, was that a petition had been received for altering a portion of the Btreet grade. The work could hardly proceed until that was settled. A long discussion took place on whether the council could advertise a portion of section one or whether they had to advertise the whole section as a local improvement .district. The latter course is the only one that can be pursued unless the original idea of section one as a local improvement district is abandoned. To advertise Second avenue alone would bring forth protests from all other streets and the object would be defeated. It may take a little longer to advertise the whole thing, but by taking a little chance on only a few protests being entered the preliminary work can proceed concurently with the preparation of the plans, and will be ready in a few weeks for the contractors to start. The engineer's report and specifications were read to the council again CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 I (Special to The Optimist.) Quebec, August 3, 2.05 p. m. ��� That Dr. Crippen has confessed and told the whole story of the murder of his wife is intimated by Inspector Dow. There seems to be no doubt of this, although the Scotland Yard man refuses to discuss the details of the alleged confession. j Inspector Dow Says It Establishes Her Innocence. ��@����������������������)��@sj��@������@@����@ PEARL EYE OF GREAT BUDDA SEARCHER FOR IT HAS MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED Powerful Influence Attributed to The Sacred Jewel.���Believed Young Englishman Has Been Captured By Hindus and Perhaps Murdered. (Special to the Optimist) New York, August 3.���Captain Adams of Hereford, England has mysteriously dropped out of sight while in search for the mysterious pearl stolen from the eye of the large image of Budda during the Sepoy revolt. This pearl is super- stitiously believed by the Hindoos to carry the fate of the Indian Empire, and that whoever has in possession can work the empire's weal or woe. They believe the possessor must be an enemy of the race from the present state of affair in their country. Captain Adams came here from England a few weeks ago with Reginald Schenick, who claims to be the direct personal representative of the Ranee Hyed Rabad. Adams was last heard from in Boston, from which point he wired to Schenick that he was close on the track of the missing pearl. The police have sent descriptions of the man all over the country. Schenick says they have been shadowed by Hindoos from England, and he believes his friend is being held captive by them or has been murdered. A large party of Hindoos was at Seattle three weeks ago, having come d.rect from their native land in seach of the highly-valued jewel. EARE GREYS OPINION. Lord Crewe Quotes It In House Of Lords On Oath Bill. (Special to Optimist.) London, August 3rd.���In moving the second reading of the Declaration Bill in the House of Lords last night, Lord Crewe referred to the fact that Earl Grey, long before going to Canada, took an interest in the question before the house, and said that two and a half million of people in Canada and Australia awaited with anxiety the decision of the peers and the settlement of the question. Leading London Solicitor Undertakes Crippen's Defence.���He Demands Positive Proof or Immediate Release of Prisoner ASHMAN COAL MINES To Develope Fifteen Square Miles On Bulkley River (Special to the Optimist) London, August 3.���Arthur Newton, who cabled Dr. Crippen that he would undertake his defence, is a prominent London solicitor and has been connected with many famous criminal trials The Scotland Yard officials and Mr Newton are already at loggerheads as to the identity of the body. They declare they have positive proof that the body discovered is that of Mrs Crippen, but refuse to disclose the nature of this proof. Newton demands either the production of this proof or the release of his client. Mr Newton is said to have been work ing quietly in the interests of Crippen for some time, and declares he has secured information which goes to prove that Mrs Crippen is alive. Quebec, August 3.���Inspector Dow, of Scotland Yard, has had several talks with Mile Leneve and stated this morning that she is entirely innocent of any share in the murder of Mrs. Crippen. To a representative of the Montreal Press the inspector said: "She has told me her whole story and it is amply sufficient to clear her. The detectives are working in London to prove her statements. When I examined the girl she broke down completely and told everything. But all the way through she tried to shield Crippen." The hearing wi.l be resumed tomorrow and Dr. Crippen will interpose, it is believed, no objection to being extradited. The women of Quebec are sending flowers to Crippen's cell. CIVIL COURT DATE Sixteen Cases on the Docket for August 29th. Civil Court will be opened in Prince Rupert on August 29th instead of the 22nd as originally set. The change was made on account of the visit of the Premier. The list of cases to be heard is the largest yet and also includes a number from Stewart. This is the first time the mining town has been 'represented in the courts here. There are to date sixteen oases on the list. IMPERIAL OIL CO Has Opened a Branch House in Prince Rupert The Imperial Oil Co. have established a branch of their business in Prince Rupert.

The Imperial Oil Co will carry in the Rupert establishment a full stock of all illuminating oils that the firm handles and should be an advantage to the city. FREE TRADE IN THE DOMINION MOVEMENT A SEVERE BLOW TO BRITISH REFORMERS Daily News Complains That West is Driving Force and Morning Post Says Sir Wilfrid Might as Well Commit Political Suicide. Plans are Wanted The party having a set of plans of the Morris-Bondeaux job will please return them to W. L. Barker, architect, Second avenue and Third Street. (Special to the Optimist) London, August 3.���The Daily News says the present revolt in Canada against the principles of protection and against the protection policy of the Dominion government, is a severe blow to the tariff reformers of Great Britain. They claim that it is merely the western part of the country that is supplying this driving force, and that the movement does not represent the dominant sentiment of the Canadian people as a whole. The Morning Post protests against the free-trade reports of gigantic deputations waiting upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier during his tour, with resolutions favoring the abolition of the tariff, and says Laurier might as well commit political suicide as to embark on a free trade policy. THE JEALOUSY OF VANCOUVER Engineer Schreiber Seeks to AUay It Tells Vancouverites Prince Rupert's Growth Can Never Be Detrimental To Vancouver, and This Sop of Consolation Is Swallowed. The Ashman Coal Mines company has been incorporated with a million dollar capital in one dollar shares. The object is to "acquire by purchase certain coal lands located by one J. K. Ashman on Bulkley River, on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, comprising fifteen (15) square miles, more or less, and to develop, mine, work, and operate the same', etc. Collingwood Schreiber, chief consulting engineer of the Dominion government, who ia now here, was interviewed by the Province before he started north. He was undoubtedly asked to say that Prince Rupert could never amount to much as compared with Vancouver and in replying had to call upon the diplomatic skill for which he is noted. He is quoted in the Province as saying:- "As far as Prince Rupert is concerned, its growth will never be detrimental in any way to Vancouver. Five hundred miles separates the two cities, and each serves its own constituency. While Prince Rupert will open up new territory to thc north, the southern country and market will always be yours." Reviewing the condition of the G. T. P. from Winnipeg to Edmonton, Mr. Schreiber said that it is generally good. The track is in good shape and the service is expeditious and up-to- date. The new line has cut the time from Winnipeg to Edmonton 4 hours below that of the Canadian Northern. The bridges at Wolfe Creek and Mac- leod River are each in use and are fine structures. The first is 600 feet long and 120 feet high, while that over the Macleod is 1200 feet long and 142 feet high. He believed that the roadbed would be ready for the laying of rails as far as the Athabasca River by December.

During July there were 22 fine days and the fish were very thick. During August the cannery men look for another record run as August is usually the best month.

Wednesday, Aug. 3 ANOTHER DARK WINTER One do��s not need to be a pessimist to realize that short days and long nights are approaching when the streets of the city will be darkened. A year ago when tha population was less and the hazards fewer the live citizens realized what the winter would bring forth and petitioned the Victoria Government to lend them means for a temporary lighting plant. The Government responded and the committee undertook to put in lights within a few weeks. A side deal shelved negotiations until it was too late and the city wintered in darkness, consoling each other with the thought that next winter would see a municipal plant in operation . But the citizens apparently guessed wrong. The city council will at the present rate of progression hardly realize that the city needs light before their term of office expires. Bill says:. "And her name was Lynch." The Grand Trunk strike and the Bitter Creek strike which loomed so large in the public eye no longer obscure the vision of the lesser transient things. Up to date there is no evidence of either strike having made anyone rich. The city council spent some time Monday evening in an academic discussion of newspaper advertising. Thanks, we appreciate the contribution but the city merchants would prefer the council to start something besides a debate. "QJJALITY" CORRECT DRESS for Men 1492 is a year none should forget.

Finally the engineer's report was adopted for a second time and the street grading will proceed as per the original scheme. Inquiries Under the head of inquiries Aid. Mclntyre asked the Fire- and Water Committee what was being done in regards to the six inch water main in section one for fire protection. Aid. Mobley said that the hydrants had been ordered but were not here yet. Aid. Barrow wanted to know if anything had been done yet to stop the people cutting trees in the park reserves. Aid.

The chief argument of the negative side was that the people might think that the daily papers had scared the aldermen and they (the aldermen) want it' understood that they cannot be scared by a little criticism. The idea of advertising for tenders was introduced by Aid. Mclntyre and Aid. Smith, and they stated that it was purely a matter of business with them. They realized that the daily papers had the circulation and they desired as many people as possible to know that the city was calling for tenders for street grading. < Aid. Pattullo led the negative side. He for one would not consent to the daily papers or any other person or persons trying to scare the council. The majority of the aldermen did not hesitate to vote with Aid. Mclntyre and Aid. Smith on the grounds that they would get more business by advertising in the daily press and their motion carried. The Discussion Aid. Mclntyre and Aid. Smith moved that the tenders and advertisement for section one as a local improvement district be advertised in all the local papers. Aid. Pattullo said that as the council had selected an official paper the people generally understood that fact and naturally looked to that paper for information. Aid. Lynch favored calling for tenders in all the papers, but not advertising the "Local Improvement Section One." Aid. Naden agreed with Aid. Lynch, but if the council was going to advertise because of newspaper criticism he would say no. Aid. Smith and Aid. Mclntyre both stated that they only intended advertising for tenders in all three papers. Aid. Smith said it was a matter of business pure and simple. Aid. Pattullo said there were lots of local contractors and very little publicity was needed to acquaint all the contractors. He waa opposed to giving advertising to other newspapers because they criticised the council. Aid. Smith and Aid. Mclntyre both stated emphatically that they had no intention by their motion to cater to the newspapers, it was purely a matter of business with them. The daily papers had the circulation. Aid. Barrow said so far as he was concerned the press criticism had no effect upon him whatever, but he favored calling for tenders in all papers. The motion as passed was that tenders for the work proposed to be carried on be advertised in all three papers.

(Special to the Optimist) Regina, August 2.���The German citizens of this district made a great show of strength when they congregated together to deliver a patriotic address to the premier. In this address they spoke of their attachment to the Faderland but said they were prepared to fight for their adopted country whenever their services were needed, and they hoped the time could come when their sons would help to man the new Canadian navy. Sir Wilfrid made a stirring reply, declaring that the loyal message of these Germans citizens of Canada would be carried to all parts o! the British empire. DEVELOPMENT WORK Is Needed on Portland Canal Properties Before Engineers Report Francis L. Otter, of S. Harrison & Co's office at Stewart is in the city today on business. He states that the mines and older properties are opening up very well, and some are even better than anticipated. The prospectors are also getting in on their claims again and doing some work. This is what is needed more than anything else. Unless the prospector uncovers his property there is no use for a mining engineer. Engineers cannot go in and look at the surface and state what there is underneath. Mr. Otter met Engineer Maitland who represented English capital and he said that it is too early yet to tell anything of the Portland canal mines. Several months work has to be done before any- thing definite can be determined about most of the properties. He was very favorably impressed, however, with the surface showings and is confident that the whole country is heavily mineralized. The prospector has a lot of work to do first, however.

Browne, Agent JACK JOHNSON'S WHITE WOMAN NEW YORK PAPER CLAIMS SHE IS NOT HIS WIFE Declares Real Wife Was Thrown From Her Chicago Home and is Now in Australia.���Urge Police to Stop Champion Motoring. (Special to the Optimist) New York, August 2.���Jack Johnson is inordinately yroud of his "white" wife and had her sitting in the arena near the ring to see him defeat Jim Jeffries. She is a handsome woman, so very "light complected" that she might pass for a Caucasian. Now comes the blow that she is not his wife after all. The Morning Telegraph this morning declares in a front page article that the white woman Johnson calls his wife was never married to him but that his real wife was driven from her Chicago home to make way for the white woman. It goes on to show that Johnson married his real wife in Australia and that she is now living there. It urges upon the police to stop the colored champion from motoring through the streets with the wh'te woman, as such exhibitions of licentious adultery and miscegenation is calculated to cause rioting.

Tenth and Eleventh streets and Beach Place are all ready now for grading. The necessary advertising was done in the daily papers and the fifteen days for protesting have passed and not a protest was entered. All the council has to do now is to get Busy and last night a resolution was passed handing the work over to |he engineer to proceed with. The streets, works and property committee submitted a bunch of fees which are to be charged against those erecting buildings and who use a portion of the streets, as is so frequently necessary. A small protest was entered by Aid. Mclntyre but it availed nothing. All the members were present at last night's meeting except Aid. Hilditch. A communication was received from Clarkson, Cross & Helliwell enclosing report on the new city books which they had prepared and sent on to the city and stating that Mr. Helliwell will visit Prince Rupert during August and give the council fuller information. Street Committee Reports The city clerk reported that no petitions had been received against the proposed local improvements and street grading on Tenth, Eleventh streets and Beach Place. This means that nothing stands in the way of the council to go ahead at once with that work.���Received and the engineer asked to call tenders. The streets, works, and property committee recommended that tenders be called for on the work as prepared by the engineer on Second avenue, and that the city engineer put in his tender also.���Adopted. The streets committee recommended that laborers laying plank roads be paid at the rate of 50c per hour.���Adopted. Some More Fees The streets committee reported recommending the following fees in connection with the erection and alteration or repairs of buildings as follows:- For dwellings up to and including $1000 1.00 For dwellings over $1000 1.60 For the erection, alteration or repair to business buildings 2.00 For the Use of streets 10c per day for each 25 foot frontage, but no charge is made where street is not graded or planked Aid. Mclntyre objected to the fee of 10c per day per 25 feet frontage for the erection of buildings. He said it was quite inconsistant with the pledges. It would be a pretty big tax and would not encourage building. Other cities did not do it. Aid. Mobley disagreed w'ith Aid. Mclntyre and supported the report. He thought that the erection of a building which occupied part of the street was a nuisance. The report was adopted on motion of Aid. Naden and Mobley. The streets committee reported that the petitions for the alteration of the grade of Third avenue, Fraser street and Fifth avenues, be referred to the city engineer to look after before the G. T. P. finally registered the grades. This report was adopted and the city engineer is to report to the council as soon as possible.���Adopted.
