The coal mines in the province of Sii.osi, China, have recently been carefully studied by a European expert. Hisrepoit states that there is sufflcent coal in this district alone to supply the world at the present rate of consumption, for several centuries. The province is nn interior state, .nd begins about 100 miles north of Pekin, exteouiog north aud south GOO miles and east and west about 150. It is therefore not so large aa Cojorado. The .water-blast, being turned ont by the Hardware Department of William Hunter Co, are pronounced by mining men who are using them or have seen them in oi«ratioo, as the best blast for mhie ventilation yet introduced into British Colombia.

ROBERTS' FAREWELL SPEECH Seaton Attacks His Relatives with an Axe—Some of the Injured May Recover. Seattle, Dec. 9.—Wm. Seaton, aged 22 years, formerly of Decatur, III., attempted last night to exterminate an entire family of his relatives at South Park, nine miles from Seattle. With an axe he smashed in the heads of four people, leaving them for dead, then he shot one man in the back and attempted to kill a deputy sheriff. Before being captured Seaton was shot twice, but not fatally by Deputy Sheriff Kelly. The only one kilted outright was Seaton's uncle, Daniel Richards. Seaton smashed in the head of his sister, Mrs. Roy Clarke, but her recovery is hoped for. The other two victims were Mertle and Hazel Hop- good, aged about 10 years, children of a former husband of Mrs. Clarke. The skulls of the little ones were crushed and then the bodies were thrown into a manger in the barn. It was supposed they were dead, but a later report from the county hospital says that the skull of one of the children had been raised and there are hopes of recovery. The other child will undoubtedly die. A man named Kennedy, who got it Seaton's way after the tragedy, was shot in the back, but not seriously. Seaton fired three times at Kelly before Kelly brought him down with two shots which took ef feet in the head and arm. Seaton told the following story: "I was disgusted with the actions of my sister and after I had struck her in the head with an axe I came to the conclusion that. I • might as well make a clean sw»e*p.-"I smashed the skulls of the ehfltliVrt and then threw their bodies tmq'flie manger.

The cables relating to the challenger have been of such a speculative character I have paid no attention to th'em. It really makes no difference after all what boat comes over after the cup, as it cannot affect our activity in regard to the defence. "We are going to get out the very best boat possible.

"We are now working in the shaft, which is down 40 feet, and intend to continue shipping. M. E.

Chicago, Dec. 11.—The question of the constitutionality of the Blaine extradition treaty, between tireat Britain and the United States, signed by representatives of the two governments in i"';9, and which, it is asserted, has never been passed upon, is to be brought before the United States supremo court in the cases of Fred Lee Rice, Frank Rutledge and Thomas Jones, who were arrested in Chicago last June on the request of the Canadian authorities, charged with being fugitives from justice. The specific ch-irges again;t tie three men included complicity in several bank robberies in Toronto and other Canadian cities. President McKinley issued a warrant for the requisition of the three men, but action was prevented by a writ of supersedeas, issued by Judge Kohlsaat of the the United States district court, and since last June the men have been confined in a county jail. Next Wednesday attorneys representing the prisoners and the British consul will appear before the supreme court at Washington, and bail for the prisoners will be asked pending the consideration of the Blaine treaty. Should bail be refused the prisoners, they may remain in jail here for :t year before the case is passed upon. It was in the cell of Fred Rice that a revolver was found, concealed in a basket of"grapes some three weeks ago, and since that time the men have been closely watched. RIoplug Huaband Drop* Dead at Sight ofDeMrted Wire. Vancouver, B. C, Dec. 10.— The mysterious death in this city, of a man known as William T. Wilson, and the subsequent investigation into its cause, has brought to light a strange story of sin and of swift and tragic retribution for I a great wrong. The man whose body now occupies a marble slab in the morgue has been identified as William Boulton, scion of a well known English family. To conceal his whereabouts from the family he had deserted, he assumed a fictitious name, thinkirg that his identity would be safely hidden under the name of Wilson. When the man was found dead there was at first no one to identify him, except the women who was known here as his wife. Today, however, several witnesses swore that his name was William Boul- ton. Among the witnesses is the wife and other members of the family whom Boulton deserted. The Boultons resided, until a few months ago, in England. Then the home was broken up by the sudden departure of the husband, who fled the country with a woman other than his wife. The eloping couple came to Vancouver some time ago and engaged apartments at a prominent hotel. They gave the name of Wilson and seemed to be ideally happy. "Mf either gave a thought to the deserted family in far-a-way England, it was certainly not a thought of apprehension. The lovers believed firmly that Mrs. Wilson was nursing her sorrows in loneliness, where the guilty husband had left her, thousands of miles away on the other side oftthc*world. But retribution found Boulton, if not his companion, and in a manner sudden and terrible. Withont a word of warning Mrs. Boulton abruptly appeared on the scenejand confronted lur guilty husband. What passed between them in that last interviews ill never be known, unless Mrs. Boulton chooses to tell, for a few moments later Boul- ton sank to the ground a corpse. The autopsy surgeon declared, after a close examination of the body and its organs, that death had resulted from fright and from no other cause. Another dramatic feature of the case is that the husband of the women who was known here as Mrs. Wilson, accompanied Mrs. Boulton on her journey across the ocean and across the continent. The deserted wife ard the deserted husband made common cause nnd together joined in the search for the runaway. LEAVES FOR HOME Lord Roberts Sailed for Btig- I nd This Morning.

He was given ao enthusiastic send off. All the ships in the harbor were decorated with flags. Prior to his departure he made a speech in which he adjured his hearers to hold out the hand of fellowship to those who have been their enemies. "When blessed peace is restored" said the field marshal, "You will tell them that we are all one in one country, that we have one interest and that we honor them. They have been fighting for a wrong cause, having been induced to do so by their misguided leaders, nevertheless we honor them for fighting for the liberty we ourselvss so thoroughly believe in. And now, in the spirit of liberty, truth, justice and freedom, we are prepared to extend the privileges which every Englishman values to those who have been fighting against us." Arthur G. Dunn, a ywdejaa, aged 22, was instantly killed in the Grand Trunk yards at London yesterday while engaged in coupling cars. The Royal and Canadian Electric companies will soon amalgamate.

ESCAPED DEATH Tlirlllluic Experience ol a California -tlluer Redding, Dec. 10.—Robert G. Wright, a young miner of Redding, knows the terror ot being in a narrow shaft with a heavy charge of dynamite approaching the point of explosion. Through rare presence of mind Wright managed to save his life, though the big charge exploded within 5 feet of him. Wright had been working iu a shaft on a claim near town, lt w;is down sixty teet and the miner placed a charge of dynamite, lighted the fuse and rapidly climbed the timbers toward the surface When thirty feet above the sputtering fuse the timbers gave way and he tumbled down to the bottom of the shaft. John Weir, who was handling the windl.is. heard him shout to lower the bucket qickly, but before he could do this he heard an agonized scream: "To late!" Weir began to descend hastily down the shaft when the explosion came. He pressed on through the smoke, supposing Wright had been However, Weir TIME CARD OF TRAINS. Double Dally Train Service.

What has Colonel Otter done any mure than the other Canadians who volunteered for active service that be should be entitled to [dip his hand into the public purset Nothing! He, like the balance,, has done his duty as a soldier; nothing more or nothing less, and we are proud of him equally with the balance. If Canada bas money to give, which we trust she has for this purpose, let it be given to those of her soldiers who are in actual need of it. Make no discriminations amongst her soldiers, alt of whom are equal in the eyes oi God, of the Law and of tbe people. There was landed a, tew days ago a Canadian soldier from South Africa, a young man who at the call of his Queen laid aside his business interests •nd went out to fight, willing to lay down his life in her cause if necessary. In embarking he marched proudly •board of the vessel with his head erect In returning the other day, he was led off the vessel by a comrade and in a abort time, unless be has rich relatives, he will become a public charge. This man was shot stone- blind while fighting bis country'* battles and i.t is such as he wbo are entitled to receive monies from the public purse. And until such time as such as he are amply provided for, any one should be ashamed to aik that public money be given to another able to provide for himself. . _.
