Clear Laat Night���Two Hundred Wounded Still in the Hoapitala. (Special to the Optimist) Berlin, Oct. 3.���Since |one o'clock this morning the city has been quiet. Yesterday the newspapers were united in their demands that Bismarkian blood- and-iron methods should be adopted to stamp out the disturbances. The authorities called upon all peaceable citizens to remain in their homes last night, and it was generally feared that the police would fire on any gathering in their attempts to put the disturbances down. As a consequence there were no disorders. About two hundred of the wounded are still in the hospitals. WAR CLOUDS LOOMING UP SITUATION DECLARED TO BE CRITICAL IN CHINA . Aaiatic Fleet of United Statea Under Steam Ready to Sail to Hongkong ���Britiah Foreign Office Flooded With Appeala for Protection. (Special to the Optimist) Manila, Oct. 3.���Acting under orders from Washington large bodies of troops have been placed on transports ready to sail for China at a moment's notice. Officials here regard the situation as the most serious yet. The whole of the Asiatic fleet of the United States has been ordered to be in readiness to sail for Hongkong. The bustle of preparation is now practically over and orders to sail are momentarily expected. London, Oct. 3.���British missionary societies are flooding the foreign office with demands that steps be immediately taken to protect British subjects in China. The conditions at Shanghai, where former riots were reported, is said to be most critical, and a general uprising means a great loss of life among the foreigners in Hunan province. Shanghai, Oct. 3.���Because of the friendliness shown by foreigners to the government the patriotic societies of China believe the time has come to throw off the yoke of their Tartar conquerors, and they are now on the verge of starting a revolution with the object of establishing a Mongol and anti- foreign government. TENDER IS CAPSIZED Feared That Many of the Crew May Have Been Drowned (Special to the Optimist) New York, Oct. 3.���The tender belonging to the battleship New Hampshire capsized this morning.

(Special to the Optimist) New York, Oct. 3.���The World newspaper claims to have discovered Dr. Cook in a dingy office of West London, and it prints a copyrighted story today which tells how Cook will return and denounce Peary. Since his disappearance Cook has visited Toronto, Halifax, Liverpool. Gibraltar, Tangiers, Lisbon, Buenos Ayres and across the continent back to London. His wife was with him most of the time. His children are at school on the continent. Cook says that he was in Albert Hall at the time when Peary lectured there. He was also a spectator at the king's funeral. The Doctor says: "I shall have a message in a short time for those interested. This will prove that I discovered the North Pople exactly as I said, on April 23rd, two years ago." The interview concludes with a close criticism of Peary's story |of his dash ot the pole. GELATINE USED FOR EXPLOSION POLICE HAVE NAMES OF MEN SUSPECTED Five Wicker Basket, of Unidentified Remain.���Maaa Meeting Called for Thia Afternoon at Which General Otia May Be Leading Speaker. (Special to the Optimist) Los Angeles, Oct. 3.���The police are in search of two men, L. Bryson and William Morris, in connection with the destruction of the Times printing office. These men bought five hundred pounds of eighty per cent, gelatine from the Giant Powder company just before the explosion. They said they were giong to use the gelatine on a ranch at Auburn, for cleaving stumps. Five wicker baskets are at the morgue, containing the remains of those impossible to identify. Three hundred men are excavating the ruins for the remaining bodies. Thousands uncovered their heads when under the direction of the fire chief, two firemen placed a ladder against the blackened and warped flagstaff of the building and nailed a silken American flag at half mast. An attempt is being made to raise a large reward in the endeavor to locate the guilty parties. _ Dynamite was found under the Zack Chandler home. This bore the stamp of the Giant Powder company. A mass meeting of the citizens has been called for this afternoon. It will probably be addressed by General Harrison Grey Otis. Los Angeles, Oct. 3.���Five more bodies were recovered early this after- nioon. The residence of General Otis and the Chandler house are being heavily guarded. Three arrests have been made. Martin Hagan, Anarchist, was arrested last night but the fact was not known until a few minutes age. GENERATOR HAS ARRIVED AT LAST CITY LIGHTING PLANT WILL BE A REALITY SOON Complete Equipment Waita at Vancouver Till Site Ia Ready and City Prepared to Inatal It, and Turn on the Juice. The dark days are drawing rapidly near, and the long nights. But citizens of Prince Rupert need not be long anxious about that lighting plant for the city. The generator has arrived, and the rest|of the equipment is at Vancouver ready for shipment as soon as the site is ready, the boilers fitted and in position, and the necessary arrangements made for putting up the complete city power plant. Now that matters are in such a forward stage there can be no doubt that good speed will be made with the completion of the plant and turning on of the much needed light. BUSY HARBOR YESTERDAY P.M. TIME THE NEW GOVERNMENT WHARF WAS READY Steamer. Came in Crowda Yesterday Afternoon and Had to Wait Their Turn for Wharf Room. The Union and the Bannockburn. FEARED RIOTS AT LOS ANGELES POLICE ARMED READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY Bomb Found Near Residence of Owner of Wrecked Newspaper��� Feeling Between Union and Non- Union Men Increaaed in Bitterneaa (Special to the Optimist) Los Angeles, Oct. 3.���The feeling between the union and non-union men is so strong, following the destruction of the Times ffice, that rio ing was feared all day Sunday, but nothing of importance took place. The finding of a bomb near the house of General Harrison Grey Otis, owner of the Times, led to special detectives being told loff to (guard the house and also the person of the man who started the war Jon unionism in this state. Rifles and ammunition were secretly conyeyed into the police stations last night to be ready for any emergencies that might arise, as the federation of labor is alleged to have planned and to have sworn to carry out further outrages directed against the enemies of organized labor. The president of the International Typographical Union states that the explosion was not caused by dynamite at all but by a defective gas pipe which fed the linotype machines. Sam Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor declares theft unions fight now by peaceable means, and he blames Otis for charging the union with such a dastardly outrage. The dead are now known to reach fifteen, and there is likely to be a few more. The police declare they have positive clues to the perpetrators|of the|outrage. Appointed Chinese Commiasioner* Ottawa, Oct. 8.���Gordon Grant and J. W. Defaris have been appointed a commission to inquire into the entry |of false Chinese passports through Vancouver, which led to the suspension of Inspector Bowell. Three Killed During Week Metz, Oct. 3.���(Special)���Aviator Haas" was 'killed -yesterday, he and his mechanic being dashed to a he ground. This is the third German aviator to meet death during the week. Harbor busines as brisk as that of Sunday is the finest possible evidence that Prince Rupert is already pre-eminently a seaport with a future. But the briskness of the business, the arrival of steamboat after steamboat, and the impatient clamor of the sirens and hooters as they announced their coming and looked in vain for wharf room, is also excellent evidence that it is about time the new Government wharf was making more rapid progress. At least eight steamboats came and went from the G. T. P. wharf yesterday. The busiest time was the afternoon when the G. T, P. steamboat Prince George arrived and found no room for her at the the wharf. Jus: at her heels the C. P. R. steamboat Princess Ena steamed in and going round the waiting Prince George endeavored to establish a prior claim to wharf room. It wasn't a case of "Ladies First," however, and the Princess had to wait for the Prince's pleasure. The American boat had the wharf room, but got her business done quickly and pulled out, when the Prince George got in with the expected mails. Meanwhile to add to the lively appearance of the harbor the big handsome freighter Bannockburn swung out into mid-harbor lightened of her load of steel, and amid the farewell booming of the steamer sirens, she steamed off through the en ranee her propellor thrashing up the foam astern. Captain Dent of the Bannockburn has been very popular in Prince Rupert, his genial and hospitable manner winning him many freinds. The Bannockburn would have cleared the port about twelve hours earlier, it is said, had it not been for the stringency of labor union law which forbade the longshoremen from unloading the last ninety-five rails from the steamer's hold after six o'clock on Saturday night, a Considering the restricted wharfage accommodation for them the various steamers calling at Prince Rupert got through their business with remarkable facility and speed. The fact that the harbor was occupied yesterday by the Prince George, the Princess Ena, the Lilooet Bannockburn, Bruno, Henriette, Chieftain, a new steamer, and the American steamer iB a pretty fair showing in favor of the coming sea-ward prosperity of the city of Prince Rupert. But the Government wharf needs to be hurried on. Nothing apparently has as yet been done towards starting the construction of the reinforced concrete piles which it may be mentioned cannot be successfully built in frosty weather. The winter will soon be here now, so it may be safely predicted that the piling work at all events of the wharf must hang fire until spring. CAMOSUN IN DRYDOCK Will Probably Be on the Run Again by tha End of the Week James M. Rogers, local agent for th; steamer Camosun, has received instructions by wire that the steamer Camosun, having to |go into dry dock because of an injury to her machinery, will at the same tim; be enti ely refitted and overhauled. She will have larger berths pu in and other imprivements made.

The interview concludes with a close criticism of Peary's story |of his dash ot the pole. GELATINE USED FOR EXPLOSION POLICE HAVE NAMES OF MEN SUSPECTED Five Wicker Baskets of Unidentified Remains���Maaa Meeting Called for Thia Afternoon at Which General Otia May Be Leading Speaker. (Special to the Optimist) Los Angeles, Oct. 3.���The police are in search of two men, L. Bryson and William Morris, in connection with the destruction of the Times printing office. These men bought five hundred pounds of eighty per cent, gelatine from the Giant Powder company just before the explosion. They said they were giong to use the gelatine on a ranch at Auburn, for cleaving stumps. Five wicker baskets are at the morgue, containing the remains of those impossible to identify. Three hundred men are excavating the ruins for the remaining bodies. Thousands uncovered their heads when under the direction of the fire chief, two firemen placed a ladder against the blackened and warped flagstaff of the building and nailed a silken American flag at half mast. An attempt is being made to raise a large reward in the endeavor to locate the guilty parties. , Dynamite was found under the Zack Chandler home. This bore the stamp of the Giant Powder company. A mass meeting of the citizens has been called for this afternoon. It will probably be addressed by General Harrison Grey Otis. Los Angeles, Oct. 3.���Five more bodies were recovered early this after- nioon. The residence of General Otis and the Chandler house are being heavily guarded. Three arrests have been made. Martin Hagan, Anarchist, was arrested last night but the fact waa not known until a few minutes age. GENERATOR HAS ARRIVED AT LAST BUSY HARBOR YESTERDAY P.M. CITY LIGHTING PLANT WILL BE A REALITY SOON Complete Equipment Waits at Vancouver Till Site Ia Ready and City Prepared to Instal It, and Turn on the Juice. The dark days are drawing rapidly near, and the long nights. But citizens of Prince Rupert need not be long anxiouB about that lighting plant for the city. The generator has arrived, and the rest|of the equipment is at Vancouver ready for shipment as soon as the site is ready, the boilers fitted and in position, and the necessary arrangements made for putting up the complete city power plant. Now that matters are in such a forward stage there can be no doubt that good speed will be made with the completion of the plant and turning on of the much needed light. TIME THE NEW GOVERNMENT WHARF WAS READY Steamers Came in Crowda Yeaterday Afternoon and Had to Wait Their Turn for Wharf Room. The Union and the Bannockburn. FEARED RIOTS AT LOS ANGELES POLICE ARMED READY FOR ANY EMERGENCY Bomb Found Near Residence of Owner of Wrecked Newspaper��� Feeling Between Union and Non- Union Men Increaaed in Bitterneaa (Special to the Optimist) Los Angeles, Oct. 3.���The feeling between the union and non-union men is so strong, following the destruction of the Times ffice, that rio ing was feared all day Sunday, but nothing of importance took place. The finding of a bomb near the house of General Harrison Grey Otis, owner of the Times, led to special detectives being told loff to Iguard the house and also the person of the man who started the war [on unionism in this state. Rifles and ammunition were secretly conyeyed into the police stations last night to be ready for any emergencies that might arise, as the federation of labor is alleged to have planned and to have sworn to carry out further outrages directed against the enemies of organized labor. The president of the International Typographical Union states that the explosion was not caused by dynamite at all but by a defective gas pipe which fed the linotype machines. Sam Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor declares tha*t unions fight now by peaceable means, and he blames Otis for charging the union with such a dastardly outrage. The dead are now known to reach fifteen, and there is likely to be a few more. The police declare they have positive clues to the perpetrators|of the|outrage. Appointed Chineae Commiaaionera Ottawa, Oct. 3.���Gordon Grant and J. W. Defaris have been appointed a commission to inquire into the entry |of false Chinese passports through Vancouver, which led to the suspension of Inspector Bowell. Three Killed During Week Metz, Oct. 3.���(Special)���Aviator Haas was killed yesterday, he and his mechanic being dashed to a he ground. This is the third German aviator to meet death during the week. Harbor busines as brisk as that of Sunday is the finest possible evidence that Prince Rupert is already pre-eminently a seaport with a future. But the briskness of the business, the arrival of steamboat after steamboat, and the impatient clamor of the sirens and hooters as they i-.nnounced their coming and looked in vain for wharf room, is also excellent evidence that it is about time the new Government wharf was making more rapid progress. At least eight steamboats came and went from the G. T. P. wharf yesterday. The busiest time was the afternoon when the G. T. P. steamboat Prince George arrived and found no room for her at the the wharf. Jus: at her heels the C. P. R. steamboat Princess Ena steamed in and going round the waiting Prince George endeavored to establish a prior claim to wharf room. It wasn't a case of "Ladies First," however, and the Princess had to wait for the Prince's pleasure. The American boat had the wharf room, but got her business done quickly and pulled out, when the Prince George got in with the expected mails. Meanwhile to add to the lively appearance of the harbor the big handsome freighter Bannockburn swung out into mid-harbor lightened of her load of steel, and amid the farewell booming of the steamer sirens, she steamed off through the en ranee her propellor thrashing up the foam astern. Captain Dent of the Bannockburn has been very popular in Prince Rupert, his genial and hospitable manner winning him many freinds. The Bannockburn would have cleared the port about twelve hours earlier, it is said, had it not been for the stringency of labor union law which forbade the longshoremen from unloading the last ninety-five rails from the steamer's hold after six o'clock on Saturday night. Considering the restricted wharfage accommodation for them the various steamers calling at Prince Rupert got through their business with remarkable facility and speed. The fact that the harbor was occupied yesterday by the Prince George, the Princess Ena, the Lilooet Bannockburn, Bruno, Henriette, Chieftain, a new steamer, and the American steamer is a pretty fair showing in favor of the coming sea-ward prosperity of the city of Prince Rupert. But the Government wharf needs to be hurried on. Nothing apparently has as yet been done towards starting the construction of the reinforced concrete piles which it may be mentioned cannot be successfully built in frosty weather. The winter will soon be here now, so it may be safely predicted that the piling work at all events of the wharf must hang fire until spring. CAMOSUN IN DRY DOCK Will Probably Be on the Run Again by the End of the Week James M. Rogers, local agent for th ��� steamer Camosun, has received instructions by wire that the steamer Camosun, having to |go into dry dock because of an injury to her machinery, will at the same tinu be enti ely refitted and overhauled. She will have larger berths pu in and other imprivementa made. THE PRINCE RUPER1 OPTIMIST ���-" I aaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaMsasssaaaa��� Rt��*0petfi itm\Kttmmm\stmt GRAND HOTEL J.

Large One. Everything Shipahape in the New Police Shack. Ctrieja Constable McCarvell is a man of adaptability and resourcefulneBs and possesses as well the gift ot conten.ment with things as they are, when they are as they have to be, and the best possible is being done with them. Since Saturday the city's police chief has been in occupancy with his staff, of the new and palatial city Police Station airily situated in the rear of tbe plain and unpreientions Provincial Government building in which for a space Chief Constable McCarvell and his staff held transitory sway. The cells are there, and thei occupants, but the Chief and his staff have been promoted a little farther up the hill, ahd they have been busily engaged in making themselves at home this week end. Their new premises are compact, and not entirely lacking in comfort or convenience while they possess the great advan age of a certain degree of privacy for the conduct of those constabulary concerns that necessitate tactful handling. The cheerful and unlooked for, also unwished for, Buttinski will perhaps be less conspicious now, thinks Chief McCarvell, upon the station horizon. Within the Chief's new domain things are taking marvellously orderly shape. The telephone is in, the pictures���that fascinating gallery of criminal beauty, the "lost, stolen or strayed" section of the convict world as postrayed by the police photographer���these works of art are all adorning the walls behind Chief Constable McCarvell's business-like desk. The orderly rows of piled records are there ready for instance reference; there in a corner are certain grim looking guns neatly labelled���the productions of past cases awaiting their consignment to Victoria. Bright and cheerful above range the polished handcuffs, and the pleasant, persuasive six-shooters, likewise that other gentle persuader, the hardwood billet and truncheon of office. The space is small but like all men who have known the power of discipline and profited by it to their own personal efficiency, Chief Constable McCarvell and his staff can make the most of every inch of spate. With just a little difference the present city Police Station reminds oneiof the famous lines: "The cottage was a thatched one, The outside poor and, mean Yet everything within that cot Was wonderous neat and clean." And would-be delinquents are warned that Chief Constable McCarvell is just as capable of dealing with misdoers in his new premises as he was in the former ones.

Aug 30���80d Edson, Alta., .Sept. 27.���After nine months of lone vigil in Jasper Park, the dominion lorest reserve, which covers 5,000 square miles in the lower and higher reaches of the Rockies, Constable Richard Francis, mounted police, is to be relieved and brought down to Edson. In his place will be Constable H. G. T. Wei s, who leaves here on Monday next on the 121 mile journey that will take him to Jasper House, and then on the lonely police poet, where with his gun and his dog he will guard the wild herds of sheep and goats that roam about the mountains in thousands. Grizzlies, deer and elk will also be in his keep. Constable Francis left Edmonton for Jasper House last December, and since that time he has acted as forest ranger, sheepherder, wild animal keeper and guardian of the law. Prior to his arrival at the park, the wild sheep and goats were being slain by the hundreds. With the coming of the G- T. P. right-of- way clearers, mutton became quite a favorite and rather plentiful, while the sheep and goats seemed to be vanishing in the air as it were, \. rowing less every day. Constable Francis had orders to seal all guns. This he did immediately after his arrival, and it is safe to say that there is hardly a rifle or other weapon in the hands of its owner in the park today. Whoever is sensible of his own faults carps not at another's failings. Thoughts, like diamonds, cost often less trouble to find than to polish. Bemichene.

The untangling of things and the ultimate way in which the trouble is overcome will influence the city probably for all time to come. Instead, however, of wasting more time in criticism and explanation there should be omething done to overcome the difficulties of the situation. If the city is to be made a live one and a progressive one there is action needed now. Citizens and council should set aside their differences at least for the time being and get down to business. To raise sufficient funds on bonds in the regular way in order to carry on the contemplated grading will take a long time and many months of ime have already been lost. That bonds backed by the votes of the citizens could be satisfactorily floated is beyond question but what about the meantime? The Optimist believes the wise course in the present situation is to go to the Provincial Government with the request that the Government back the bonds to the city to the extent of about a quarter of a million dollars. The Government is deeply interested in this city, both morally and financially, and it would not be out of keeping with their policy to make such a guarantee. With such a promise from the Provincial Government no assessment difficulty could interfere with the city's credit. The Optimist believes that with the matter placed before the Government in the proper way, and by the proper persons that the assistance of the provincial administration can he secured. At any rate, it will not cost anything to try. I- CONGESTION AT THE WHARF If Premier McBride had happened to take passage |on the Prince George he would have seen the necessity of urging the completion of the government wharf. He.would have had to wait on the Prince George while the Cottage City got out, and then he would have seen the Princess Ena waiting for a berth. The latter boat, owing to the delay, had not time to unload her local freight, as she was in a hurry to catch the last boat down the Yukon with a large part of her cargo, so Prince Rupert merchants will have to wait for their freight until she returns from Skagway.

HEINEY, Manager Tba Flickerless Picture Show The grading operations in active progress on Second avenue opposite the Government Buildings and at the junction of Second avenue with the |old plankway leading down to Center street and the G. T. P. wharves, are causing1 quite a display of acrobatics on the part of the pedestrians who want to use that handy short cut as formerly. There is no clause in McMordie's contract to provide paths temporarily for accommodation of foot passengers across his workings, nevertheless, a certain devious and narrow plank path, dry and more or less continuou , has been kept open since the start of the operations. But owing to the progress of the work, this pathway has changed its position from day to day, and as a result of lack of observation, several pedestrians have found themselves in precarious predicaments out in the midst of the mud and muskeg. To set out along any plankway that came handy was a perlious proposition since you never could tell just where any particular plank was going to lead you. The other day a party of three ladies whose complexions betrayed their origin as somewhere in the Sunny South, got rather rattled in the effort to negotiate the maze of workmen's plankways. The lightest lady (in tow senses) tripped along and making a few elegant jumps got safely on to terra firma. Not so alas! the heavier damsels of dusky shade. They tried one trail after another only to reach time after time a wheelbarrow and a muskeg face with a bowing and smiling Italian or Swedish laborer at the end of it shouting directions freely (and perhaps also cuss words) in his own language. The duskiest and heaviest of the ladies got far separated from her companions, and amidst a volley of directions and, be it confessed, also a good deal of derision on the part of the burly muskeg heavers, she landed herself on a slippery pedestal where like a bronze statue of a lady of fashion she stood momentarily expecting a plunge into the ttmddy fluid below. A workman���we think he was a susceptible son of the Emerald Isle, helped her on to a plank which led her considerably nearer to safety but still there was a leap of nearly four feet of slush to negotiate between my lady and the solid plank path to the wharf. Amid the encouraging cheers���we had almost written jeers���of the spectators the final stage of the slippery crossing was accomplished with a splash, and a shriek of laughter, and then the show waslover. Mr. MeMordie was this morning engaged in laying a broader pathway for those who avail themselves of this short cut, and it will now be possible to get over it dry shod.

Messrs. Brin: Bros, of the Brin Furniture stores have just leased their present premises, including the Mclntyre Hall and whole Mclntyre Block for a number of years, with a view to a considerable expansion of their business in the near future. The Arm intend to use the Mclntyre Hall as part of their department store, but as the arrangements for the expansion of the business are not yet completed, and it is not certain yet where department of the business will be allotted to the hall space, the hall will probably be available for dances during the season. For one forthcoming dance it certainly will be available. That is the Hospital Dance at present being organized by the Dance Committee of the Hospital Board Ladies' Auxiliary. Through the kindness of Mr. H. K. Brin and his brother members of the firm the hall has been placed at the disposal of the Ladies' Auxiliary Dance Committee for this dance, entirely free of charge, in order that the dance may produce the maximum of result for the object in view. ���. ��� The premises of the firm of Brin Bros, will be closed for business Tuesday and on the following Tuesday���two complete days altogether, as this is the season of the Jewish New Year Festival, and these days are set apart as public holidays amongst the Jewish community. All business premises under Jewish proprietorship in the city will be closed on these days which are strictly observed by the Jews throughout the world. Though the new police station is small the first cases held within its walls have been fairly serious���so much so that it was at first intended to hold the police court in the Provincial Government court room as ormerly. Quite a little crowd assemebled there; but at 10, a.m., Magistrate Carss decided to hold court in the new premises. Accordingly, Harry Rown, a Swede, and David Graham, whose name sounds a wee bit Scotch, were both charged in turn with having looked too fondly on the '"bottled kind of Scotch". Graham was fined the usual fine and costs. Rown was called upon to fork out a twenty dollar bill daintily embellished to the tune of the necessary two for costs. Rown had resisted arrest, and the Magistrate warned him very sternly that this sort of thing must be put down, and that the next man who appears before the bar charged with "Drunk and Resisting" will be in danger of doing ten years for it. Frank Plant also appeared charged with having stolen jewelry to the value of about|$50 from Katherine Washington, a colored lady of sporting propensities resident on Comox avenue, who gave evidence regarding the jewelry, its value and its disappearance. The productions were a braclelt of the expanding type, an opal ring, a garnet ring, and a solitaire diamond ring. The latter had been entrusted to accused by complainant to be handed to a jeweler for repair. It was valued at $50, the .other articles at less sums. Sergeant Regan gave evidence regarding the woman's complaint as to the loss of her jewelry, and the arrest of the accused in the house on Comox avenue. Accused was searched at the police station and the bracelet was found concealed in his clothes below the knee.

Many of the old timers of the city who knew the two young fellows well from the early days of Prince Rupert went out to the scene of the accident to lend their aid in the sad task of dragging and blasting for the bodies. The efforts, however, were unsuccessful but a wide spread of tackle was stretched over night in the lake at the scene of the disaster and it was hoped that by this means the bodies might be recovered on Sunday. No news to the effect that the recovery has been accomplished had reached the city on Sunday. Up till one o'clock today the bodies had not been recovered, aa far as the city staff could tell. It was thought that the rough weather on the lake last night might have aided in hurrying them to the surface, and news of their recovery may come to hand tonight. Ready for Dark Nights A. T. Parkin & Co. decided not to depend on any uncertain electric lighting system and a e preparing to light the late ones home on dark nights.

The third and most valuable he told the Sergeant was in his pocket book where he had been keeping it. He told the complainant previous to his arrest that there was a difficulty regarding the price of the repair job. Accused said nothing in answer to the charge, but called Sergeant Regan's attention to the fact that he had him told about the diamond ring.

He is very much pleased with the outlook for the upper Skeena country, particularly at* regards mining and land and predicts a big boom. PLENTY OF LABOR Not only from the coast but from Alaska have laborers been recently making for thia port. Two batches from Cordova, one of them numbering forty, came in during last week, being part of the thousands working on the Northwestern railway there that have been let out owing to the near completion of the contract. By every boat there have been a few scores landed and it was learned at the office of Foley, Welch & Stewart this morning that there was no dearth of labor although many of those sent in for the railway construction work had chosen to work on the city grading. One thing which makes the contractors slow to put on more men than present requirements is the difficulty facing them of getting in the winter supplies. The water continues at a low stage and there is at present no hopes of being able to get in all the supplies now stacked in the warehouses awaiting transportation. i THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST THE IROQUOIS POOL English and American Billiards Eight Tablet Centre Street For Quick Sales LIST YOUR PROPERTY WITH ���THE- 0.

HAYSTA JUST MAN Resigned Presidency of Southern Pacific Because of Injustice In the course of a strong, denunciatory article on railway stealings by iniquitous freight charges, published in Hampton's Magazine, Charles Edward Russell tells why Charles Nt, Hays resigned the presidency of the Southern Pacific in these words: "t will now recite for your entertainment a little chapter of history showing that these abuses are not only flagrant and intolerable but firmly rooted. "C. P. Huntington died in 1900. "At that time, one of the American railroad executives most talked about for sagacity, energy, skill, knowledge and results was Mr. Charles M. Hays. "Mr. Hays was selected to take the place of Mr. Huntington as head of the great Southern Pacific system. He remained less than a year when, to the amazement of the railroad world, he suddenly resigned. "Everybody knew there must have been some truoble and all railroad men knew that the trouble was not with Mr. Hays. Almost at once he was snapped up by the Grand Trunk, of which vast and extending system he is still the chief commander. "Mr. Hays never publicly explained his dissatisfaction, but according to close freinds of his he began, soon after he took the Southern Pacific, to examine the freight tariffs by which the company gathers the interest on all these securities. "Mr. Hays is known to be a just man. It seemed, clear to him that the rates were indefensible and ought to be adjusted. He undertook to adjust them. The power behind the railroad that, being greater than all law and government, had for many years thriven upon these exhortions, objected to the changes Mr. Hays desired. Mr. Hays insisted; the Power insisted. Finding that the Power was supreme and that he could not do justice, Mr. |Hays resigned." HOTEL ARRIVALS. New Knox Hotel A. E. Desantles, Dawson C.
