A Firslrliiss Show. The moving picture show given last Wednesday by Ihe Cosgrove Company was uiuch enjoyed by the large number who attended. The scenes shown were np to date and many in number, and were presented much more distinct!}' than the ii-miI run of moving picturea The illustratrd songs were particularly enjoyed and the view ot the First Contingent marching in Quel ec moved the audience iuto patriotically singing "The Soldiers of the Queen." At llvmen's Altar As one way of surprising his friends F. F. Liehscher went to Ncl-on last Wednesday and on the following day was quietly married to Miss Margaret Martin of B:ston, Mass., Rev.

Tommy's Pop—The way it's acted tny son. Drawn From Mure, There is something iu the individuality of the typical prorpector of tho mountain trail that cannot be lound union,; the more thickly populated sections of lhe country. Those who are familiar with him and have seen him as he came into camp will not soon forget that fur- away look in his eyes and fragments of llr boughs and dried huckleberries in his whiskers— sock leu nnd hsppy. Vou may smile at him, perhups ridicule him, or worse, pity him: but did you ever think, you who have studied upon the factors that go to make up this mysterious problem of human life—what part is played by the bewhlskered man? Let un follow the crooked trail of this old prowlers of the hills from the time when he first hails Irom the old farm down east, young and free, bubbling over with spirits and energy, and wilh un air about him that marks him as n tenderfoot. He has just blown out of the home nest. His wings were a little stronger than his brothers', who chose to stay in the Kiiiu-hine of the home and the fragrance of the orchards. It has only been a (.w ihivH, perhaps, since he bade them good by. Tr.e wholesome words of advice that bis honest old father gave him ■till ring in his ears, and the doughnuts, the carawayseed cookies, the needles and thread and the variegated patches that Ins thoughtful old mother gave him are still in his grip. The bonny face of his sweetheart haunts his mind, her cabinet phitograph is bursting his inBi'de pocket and his coat is still damp where she cried her farewell on his shoulder. He intends to make u foituiie in a few months and go back to her. He wil| write her every few daya in hie most graphic style, volumes of Into resting matter. He tells her uf the bright prospects in view, ofthe wonderful opportunities at land. He tells her lo be true to bin. for a few short months and he will return to her laden with riches and honor that his own energies will surely bring him. Let us fol'ow him on his first trip as a gold hunter. The wilds of nature seem a paradise lo him, for the hills and tor- em are new pictures, and what poelic fancies he may have are not yet blunted nor wom out of him by hardships. His cnmp eqinplineni consists of a multitude of unnecessary things, and it takes him half a season to pi.ck them into the hills aod the other hulf to bring them out. His cooking i.s something awful, yet he is particular about flies and bugs and it would actually make him sick should he boil a mouse in his coffee pot or swallow a handful of ants in his tea. The old timers watch him with interest. He makes Ida first bannock, but words cannot desciibe it. With sublime courage he proceeds to eat. If he lives he is all right, for a tenderfoot that can eat his own cooking and survive, the trail to fortune is his. He docs not find time to prosiiect much Ihe first year; but lire talked with some old veterans ot '49, and in an amazing short time knows all a- hout Ihe business. To hear him talk •'formation" you would imagine he had been present at the creation, and to hear him go over a lingo of ponderous geu'og- ical words, he haa committed from his little four * bit "Prospector's Guide," would actually make an old prospector homesick. But he is initiated. He has played the first card in the greatest game of life. The wheel spins round. So far he has drawn a blank, but he Writes to his sweetheart to defer his return another year. Her letters still come, but not with the sane regularity as when he first left home. To he sure they are still ciowded with affectionate epithets, but they seemed more studied and less genuine the' at first. Another year rolls around. He goes out wilh the snow and returns with it but with little to show but a luxurious growth of beard and a few choice specimens of "float" that he found "just where his grubstake played out". He b sure he can find the ledge the coming season. The snow coo ea and goes. The rivers fill and empty. Again Jack Frost, that breezy advance agent of winter, hangs his yelloiv posters on the birch and lamarac. Our prospector comes in a- gain to "hole up" like a winter hear in his w inter cabin. He bas drawn another blank. His wages against the game are heavy The passion has enslaved him Ho will prowl away his life in the hills or strike it. He may have a few prospects by this time. All he needs to do is tn blow off the capping and the mountain will be full of the richest sort of ore. His 11.1'aiis are inesgie, hut he has picked nu some valuable pointers. He has learned that a mo"ntaineer who would starve with a gun, a frying pan and flshline, would deserve the ridicule of his comrades Ho has learned lo play jokes on his stomach—promises it pie 1 and slips io a "flap-jack." He will work this prospect if he has to go on half rations. Bo be hammers away a few yearn of his life in a dark tunnel. He I'Msae* the contact and runs nnder tlie cropping* Ordinarily he w<luld become discouraged, pack bis cayuse Snd leave. But there are some characters who will keep driving away, feeling certain that the next, shut will expose the long looked fnr treasure. He will have to go "off shilt" fur good some time and he will leave a solitary ttinnei with country rock in its face as a pathetic monument. But we will imagine that our hero, if we may call him such, waa wise enough to quit after a few years and start nut once more for the hill«, where, perhaps, ihere ih a new excitement: where every one Is striking it rich. He will get in on the "ground floor" this time. When he arrives at the new camp he finds that thu "good things" are all staked.. so Im prowls around the edges until winter drives him in again. He begins to feel a little old; he has staked about all he had but his life, and he haa risked thst many times. He feels a twinge of rhen- niiitism in his limbs snd the demon dyspepsia has taken up its abode with him. He imagines he is getting queer, and pei- hups he is. He knows he ia "cranky." He wonders some times if he is not gel- ting "sour dough" on his brain us wttJ as on bis overalls. He can't get along with a partner any more and not infrequently it is all he can do to get along with himself. So he goes out alone with dog and cayuse. He begins to hold interesting conversations with himself aid grows to think he wants no better company. Sometimes by the camp lire, when in a retrospective mood, he reviews tin- past. How long it seems since he lett the old home. Several years have elapsed since be heard from his relatives, and his sweetheart's letters have long ceased to come. He has surely played the game reckless- 1 y. There does not seem to be much left for him. Of course he lias that old tailed photograph, but it is broken mil defaced, and there is an old soiled envelope that contains a tangled lock of hair and a tew broken flowers. He imagine* sin- is still tun- to him. He must "strike ji," and return to his old life. So he oli.nln up with renewed energy. SoroeliuieH he cat dies a glance of tlie gilded wings #.t fortune as she beckons him from mine distant peak, and he struggles to thiri, like the end of the rainbow, it is still in advance. When he comes in Ihere Im little diversion for him hot the society ni the bar-room. Here, by, administering a few dosea of tbe prospector's elixir, Im can restore youth. But, "everything comes fo Mm *V» waits." He "strikes it" at list: be bus stumbled onto it at last by accident. It is cropping before him in all ita magnificence. Hie practised eye tells him that it is a fortune: he is not exc-ted: lie takes it ccol ly. He haa lieen thoroughly trained to lake things as they come. He may even I e careless in staking it properly. He goes out and proceeds to get drunk and spread the news. Ho sells out for a ban limine sum ; runs over the census and calls up the township to lhe bar. He buys the most stylish clothes Hat he knows anything about The tall silk hut. Ihat crowns his wrinkled visage would hardly pass under the boughs that linns over his old trail and his cayuse wouUI lie frightened ioto a stampede should Im catch a glimpse of bis geneious expanse of snowy linen. He al enistes the a (lection of his faithful dog by taking a Tnr*.- ish bath. He squares with his old companions as a good fellow and buya u induce car ticket to his old home. He iinth.- ipatea a great ovation in his honor: he thinks of the happy smile with which his sweetheart will greet him. When he arrives at tbe depot of his old town he is surprised tbat the mayor ia not there to meet him. He wonders what has become of the old brass band that, used to play on the Queen s Birthday As no oue meets him. he starts afoot In find the old town. He gets tangled in the suburbs of the town and the lane-i and cross lanes are problems dillicult to solve. He finds what he thinks is tlm old trail; he looks for the old blazes but they are gone. When he finds llu- old homestead his brothers seem glad to sen him, but they hardlv take time tu talk In him. They bave hardly missed a day if hard work since he left. Thev haw hoarded the pennies till they have oul lected a few dollars. His father ami mother bave long since taken up iheir a ho. In in "the little quiet village in the hill." He calls on his sweetheart: she has been married many years. She has grown fat and plain. Her reception of him is anything hut flattering; she surveys him critically and curiously, aid perhaps wonders how .much he paid for the store clothes he is now wearing. He :s satisfied. He takes the shortest trail back to the old camp, leaving the proverbial I'.ttr.-! calf still feeding at tlie manger. His wealth isa burden to him hiuI he proceeds to dispose of it. Afer hiring a theatre for a few nights and tn - ing to break up a brewery or two, wu lim! him once more taking the trail with a smile and a grubstake. This mail's trail through life may have lieen a crooked and tiresome one and his iinhtuied bones may lie at the end of it, hut he cut it himself. What has he done for the world? What may have eome to him >»' fortune was oue of Nature's hidden treasures. It was not stolen or wrung from the toils of others. He has added to the wealth of the world. He was the scout Of progressiva solitary sentinel at Ihe outposts of civilisation. Cities will spring up where his camp flres once smouldered; steamboats will plow thu streams where he once poled hia rude dugout, and great railways follow hia blazes, {n the great play of liie, where courage, fortitude and honest endeavour are the parts moit commended, csn it not be said thai this man has played his part and played it well ?—Frotu The IM- ena Independent.

The Developments In the Curious Chicago Poisoning Case of Local Interest It is confidently believed that Frank H. Smiley, who today made a confession of his connection with lhe death of Marie Diefenbach, at Chicago, was in Rossland for a period of three months this year. As the dispatches yesterday shotved, ths victim was one of the confederates, who, after securing heavy life insurance in Canadian and other companies, feigned death, the inten- tention being to replace her supposedly lifeless body with another corpse. She was to have shared in the proceeds of the policy, but the plotters wanted it all. The means of death was effective instead of being a sham. Registered at a Rossland hotel in the early part of the year was a man by the name of F. H. Smiley. He was here nearly three months and nobody knew his business, although it was generally believed he was a detective, and it is known that he possessed a doctor's certificate, although he has never practiced. The fact that his mail and general correspondence was from Chicago, today caused inquiry to be made from the chief of police of that city, but up to the hour of going to press no reply had been received, Chicago, Oct. 9.—Frank M. Smiley the detective of the Mooney and Boland agency, who was one of the men arrested yesterday in connection with the death of Marie Defenbach, August 25, has made a full written confession of his part in tihe crime. His confession,i f true, implicates with him Dr. August Unger and Frank Wayland Brown, assistant manager of the Mooney and Boland agency, the other two men under arrest. When the case goes on trial, Smiley, it is announced, will turn states evidence. States attorney Deneen expects that all three men dill be convicted of conspiracy to defraud the New Vork Lif* Insurance company, and the two benevolent orders, the Canadian order of Foresters and the Knights and Ladies of Security, but it is very doubtful whether any charge of murder can even formally be made on the evidence available. At least one other man connect- nected with the Mooney and Boland agency is now under surveillance for suspicious actions at the time of Miss Defenback's death. It is not improbable that several other conspirators may be connected with the crime, Overlapped the Lines A Serous Blunder in Strnging Dawson Wires. Victoria, Oct. 9.—Passengers arriving by the Tees state that, through mistaking directions, two parties working on the government telegraph line to Dawson have over- 'apped, the distance which was passed between the two ends of the line being over a hundred miles. It is feared this will prevent completion of the line this year. Dawson oflieials estimate that the recent order of the government will throw 8000 claims open for location in the Klondike, An Indian woman, whose husband was tried at Vancouver and acquitted on the charge of murdering a boy in the Cassiar. district, committed suicide by hanging herself on tbe steamer Amur on the way north. Hiram Brown, furniture dealer, of Grand Forks; the Cariboo Lumber Co., carrying on business at Clinton; John Tobin & Co., Ltd., tea merchant, of Vancouver and Halifax; and S. F. (Juinlivun, contractor, of Cascade, have assigned. James M. Dunn and the company, in which he claims a declaration that he wus induced by the defendant Dunn, representing himself to be the secretary of the company, to buy 11,000 shares in the company on May 3, 1897, upon the representation made by Dunn that company owned an undivided half of the Sunset mineral claim, being lot 970, group i, Kootenay district, and a declaration that the said undivided half i.s the company's property. The plaintiff also claims judgment for the amount paid for the shares, $2200, and that the shares may be cancelled, and the register of members rectified. He also asks for an injunction restraining the company Irom enforcing any call in respect of the shares, and for damages. THE COAL MINES The Army and Navy. Two Hundred Million Will be Asked for Their Support. New Vork, Oct. 9.—More than $200,1100,000 will be asked for the support of the army and navy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, says the Washington correspondent of the Herald. Secretary Long has been carefully considering the estimates of his department, cutting them wherever feasible, and Secretary Root is sharpening his pruning knife so that it will be in condition lor use in war department estimates when he returns Wednesday. Chiefs of bureaus ofthe war department are estimating for expenses on the basis of an army of 100,000 men. Under the present law all volunteers and regulars in excess of about 30,000 men must be discharged before July 1. 1901 and Quartermaster General Ludington is making arrangements for the transportation home of the volunteers beginning next month. It will be necessary to recruit regiments to fill the places of the volunteers in case more troops are authorized, and when they are ready for active service they must be transported to Manila. So Quartermaster Gen. Ludington has asked for considerably more money than he needed for the present fiscal year. The Lenora Mount Sicker Copper Mining company give notice that they intend to build a tramway from their mine around the north end of Mount Sicker to a point about 500 yards from Westholme station, on the Esquimalt & Nanaimo railway, in a southerly direction; thence to an easterly direction to a point on Osborne Bay, and also to build, construct, equip and operate a tele phone in connection with the tramway.

MOST COMPANIES JOIN Thee or Four Individual Operators Who Have Not Conceded. Hazelton, Pa., Oct. 9.—The A. S. Vanwickle estate, operating the Colesain and Milnesville collieries, and Calvin Pardee & Company owners of the Lattimer mines, posted notices today offering the 10 per cant advance in wages to their mine workers. There are only about four other individual operators in this region that have not yet offered the increase, among them being G. B. Markle & Co. These firms, however, are expected to make the wage concession within the next few days. Negotiations between the Vaqui Indian emissaries and President Diaz, for the settlement of the hostilities between the Vaquis and the Mexican government, have failed to accomplish anything. Fighting continues and the government troops seem to be making a slow but steady advance into the Indian country. The laws of British Columbia pro teet lawyers from competition, by compelling applicants to comply with the rules and regulations of the law society. Within the past few days several legal firms of Rossland have received, from Toronto, cases of letterheads andother printed stationery, which they can buy there cheaper than in this city. If they would go to Toronto to Toronto to practice they would perhaps do business on a cheaper basis in many other respects. BI6 STRIKE AT SEATTLE /More Than Qne Thou* sand Unionists Have Quit Work. Seattle, Oct. 9.—From 1100 to j200 trade unionists are idle. Work was stopped on over 20 residence buildings and six large brick business blocks under process of construction, and a threatened paralysis of nearly the entire building in the city is the result thus far of the fight between the Trades Council and Builder's , Exchange of Seattle, a fight that has been brewing for several weeks. Placer claims in Cariboo can be laid over from November 1 until June 1, 1901. Victoria proposes to have a twentieth century exhibit of all the resources and products of the district tributary to the coast. The interest in the differences between the powers seems to have temporarily subsided and has given place to the elections, which, just now, are commanding attention in the English speaking world. In the I'nited States, ^the people are talking of nothing but the outcome of the presidential contest which takes place in November. The general elections in Great Britain are now proceeding,and in the Dominion we are preparing for a political struggle, which will take place sooner or later. The British army headquarters at New Orleans are to be closed soon. Since August, 181.9, 15,000 horses and 42,000 mules have been shipped to Capetown, as well as large quantities of forage and other supplies, the pay therefor being about $10,- 000,000 in English gold, Nelaon Conaervallvea OrgaulM. The Nelson Conservative association met last night to discuss organization for the approaching campaign. The following committee, for the purpose of completing a scheme of organization, was appointed: John Toye, convenor; VV E McCandlish, Jacob Dover, J E Annable, John Houston, J A Kirkpatrick, F Starkey, W A Macdonald, H R Cameron, J Fallon, D M Carley, Freeman Lake, J Elliot, Cyril Archibald, Chris Morrison, W Irvine, A Kerland, Frank Fletcher, J A Irving, C Hillyer, D McArthur, Fred J Bradley, Thorburn Allen, H G Neelands and C H Seweli. The officers of the association are ex- officio members of the committee. Gen. A. W. Greeley, chief of the United States army signal service, who was at Nome during the disastrous storm of September 15 and 16, says the loss of private interests was variously estimated at $500,000 to $750,000. Over 3000 persons were rendered homeless. CAMPAIGNERS ATTACKED Depew's Republican Enthusiasts Assaulted By a Chicago Mob. Chicago, Oct. 9.—Bloodshed followed in the trail pf Chauncey Depew and his three mile escort of Republican marching clubs last night. The last company in line was charged by an organized gang of men, who had concealed themselves in the dark recesses of an alley. The rioters were repulsed by the marchers, but not until four or five of the republican marchers had been injured, some quite seriously. Tha most seriously injured were Michael Ball, found on the street unconscious after the struggle, his nose was broken and his eye out. He was struck on the head with a brick, George Hughes suffered a contusion of lhe skull. The men who precipated the riot escaped.

J., which resulted, it is charged, in King Humbert's death, was Ma- zotti, who is reputed to be usually the secretary of anarchist meetings, When questioned as to his testimony said : "I told the commissioner that tbere were several anarchist organizations in Patterson. But they were divided on the question of killing the heads of governments, although as a rule they do not question the killing of kings, as a matter of policy. The purpose of our organization is to advocate the abolition of all government restriction and substitution of individual liberty." To ii|,|,,,_., Powell, Monckton, N.

Hi1* views as to the lessons nich our army has or should have irntare somewhat startling at first pecially the suggestion tbat what army needs to make it most jcient is not an increase but a (taction in numbers. |lle says the first lesson is that army should not be left to the lolessional warrior, with a modern He even brave man makes a good bldier. He also says that the lunger of an invasion of Great Iritain is absolutely nil as with a loderately efficient rifle,and without he assistance ot the Ileet or the Irofessional soldier, the able bodied lopnlation could defend Great Britain against the united forces of Europe. The war has proved the hmendous advantage of defense |ver attack and a country of tJgerows would be the most terri- |« entanglement an army could fander into. As the war has further demon- trated that intelligence nnd good sooting are the prime factors in baking good soldiers, the army Ihould be reduced to 100,000 men, •very one of whom should be intelligent and a good shot.

The Boundary country is now assured of lower freight and treatment rates on its ores than Rossland, with all its tonnage, seems likely to get at present. The Greenwood smelter has announced that after December 1 it will receive ore from mines in that section at a charge for freight and treatment of only $4 per ton—$1.50 less than is being charged by the Granby smelter at Grand Forks. Should the pyritic process prove a success even this rate is likely to be reduced 50 cents. FRANKLIN SHUT DOWN. Strikers Succeed in Clos- lug the Big Mine— Coyle is Dead. Shenandoah, Pa., Cct. 5.—Advices received here early today state that the North Franklin colliery at Treverton operated by the Reading Coal and Iron company, is idle, the employees having failed to report for work. There was no disturbance. The mine employed about '**) men and boys. Edward Coyle, a miner, aged 50 years, one of the victims of the riot here two weeks ago, died today. While the riot was in progress Mr. Coyle left his home to look after the safety of his children when a stray bullet struck him below the heart. A widow aeid large family survive him. WOK TIIII-KK7-KIHST PRIZES Rowland mineral Exhibit at eh. spa kan* Frnli Fair. British Columbia did nobly with her mineral display at the Spokane exposition, having won the big gold medal for the best collection exhibited from any state or province. Rossland also did well, winning first prize for her gold and copper ores, first prize for the district exhibit, and first prize for the industrial exhibit, the latter won by the British America Corporation. Messrs. Orde, Hanauer and White are to be congratulated for their untiring efforts in making a success of the exhibit, which was largely due to the generous contributions of our citizens (ami city council, and the kind assistance of Messrs.

At the annual meeting of the Lake ofthe Woods Milling company yesterday a divident of 10% on the paid up capital stock was deeiared. Oeneral Laurie Carries Pembroke In the Conservative Interest. London, Oct. 5.—At 6 p. m. 431 members of parliament had baen elected, as follows: Ministerialists 294, Liberals 79, Nationalists 58. In the Pembroke district Lieut.- Gen. John Wimburn Laurie, Conservative, was returned by a vote of 2769 against 2667 for his Liberal opponent, Mr. Terrell. NhK.HHOItlM. 11 IMW. The returns from the first ship- ment of ore from the Humming Bird, on the north fork of Kettle river, are reported to have been over $19 per ton. Five hundred tons of ore are said to be on the dumps now. The Chapleau mine on Lemon creek, Slocan, is being equipped with a 10-stamp mill, which will be ready to begin work in about three week. The property is owned by a French company and two of the directors, the Vicompte de Gram- mont and Marquis de Dusmet are now on their way to inspect the property. L'p to date 1100 feet of tunneling and shafting have been done and it is claimed that 13,000 jons of high grade ore are in sight. At the annual meeting ofthe Sullivan company, held in Spokane yesterday, the chairman announced that recent work had proved the ledge to be a fissure vein and not a blanket as hitherto believed. The mine is now shipping 50 tons of good grade galena ore da'ly. T. G. Proctor, who went to Silverton to supervise work on the Silverton Boy, paid a visit to the Emily Edith and says regarding thc latter property that if the lower levels cow under way open up as good ore bodies as those shown by the upper workings the property will make one of the best silver-lead mines in the Slocan, A lorce ef 40 men is employed. Mr. Rammelmeyer, formerly a resident of Rossland, is manager. A deal is pending on the Royston group, which adjoins the Venus, on Morning mountain, and shows three feet of free milling ore. The Venus company has decided to erect a 10-stamp mill at once. The Bosun mine, near New Denver, has shipped $170,000 worth of ore in the past two years and has paid from the grass roots. More development is going on now than at any time in its history and the shipments iast month were 20 tons larger, being 140 tons in all, than in any month since work was started. The mill on the Mountain Lion, in the Republic camp, is said to be saving 70 per cent of the values. Unless the mill does better the ore will probably be shipped to a Boundary smelter. The Cariboo of Camp McKinney has declared another dividend of one and a half cents, per share payable on October 31 to shareholders of record September 30. A new chute of ore has been opened on the Okanogan claim, belonging to the Cariboo group, which appears to be 350 feet long without a break. A cyanide plant is to be added to the mill at once. The Morning Glory, at Republic, i.s shipping to the Grand Forks smelter. Oaldner Won on Pointa.

A landing party from the British- armored crutserjAurora has occupied Ching Wan Tao. An order has been sent to Shanghai for the immediate delivery of a plant for the construction of a branch railroad from Tang Ho, on the Gulf of Liao Tsang, to Ching Wan Tao, also for the erection of a pier to which ships may be moored, t is expected that the work will be completed within two months, thus securing facilities for a winter port. It is reported that the Russians are moving from Shan Hai Kuan towards Chin Chau. The Germans have demanded possession of the railroad between Tien Tsin and Pekin, and the Russians have agreed to let them have it. The Germans will shortly begin to repair the road between Yang Tsun and Pekin, Ll WILL GO TO PEKIN. Russians Evidently Have the Whole Say With Him. Tien Tsin,Oct. 3.—Li HungChang and M. De Giers, the Russian minister to China, had a lengthy conference today after which it was announced that Li Hung Chang would depart for Pekin tomorrow. Li Hung Chang will be accompanied by the Russian admiral, a Russian guard and his own guard. Peaceful conditions prevail. The failure of the Russians to rebuild the railway to Pekin is causing talk among the commanders of the restoration of the line to the English owners for reconstruction andjoperation. The sick among the Americans are being sent to the hospital ship Maine, w h'ch will sail soon for Nagasaki and Vokohoma. .11 Ol NT HAKI.lt Hill Ml V IH Third Monument DI»eoverrd-«ovcrn- nieut Surveyor* Will Deride. Chicago, Oct. 5.—A special to the Record from Tacoma, Wash, says: A new boundary marking has justj'been discovered in the disputed portion of the Mount llaker district by the surveyors of a railroad. They found the monument in the vicinity of Chilliwack Lake, in the middle of a wide swath which was years ago cut through the timber. If the boundary follows the line of this ol d swath Red mo 'untain and all of the disputed strip is on the American side. This is the third boundary mark to be discovered. It is expected that the report of the Dominion surveyors will be made in a few days and the boundary dispute will then be on a basis different from a miners' squabble. The Canadians claim the line is south ol the present location and the Washington authorities will be asked to make a sure survey at once.

The stamps on the document amounted to $6000. A serious fire has gutted the Oxford wing of Welbeck Abbey, Nottinghamshire, the famous seat of the Duke of Portland. The full extent of th»» damage cannot be estimated at present. The priceless pictures and furniture were saved. The steamer Santana with 265 passengers and $500,000 to $600,- 000 in Klondike and Nome gold arrived at Seattle today. Corpses of those killed in the great storm at Galveston are still being recovered at the rate of 15 to 20 a day. It is now certain that the dead in that city will exceed 6,000, beyond the city 1,200, on the mainland more than 1000. Captain Duncan brought down to Nelson on Wednesday from the Granite mine, another $7000 gold brick, the result ofthe last clean-bp. The police authorities of Montreal have been requested to look out for Wm. R. Atkins, late sergeant of the Provincial police at Victoria, B. C., who absconded from that city with $1200 last June. The liabilities of Wm. Levack, the cattle dealer and butcher of Toronto who assigned a few days ago, are now piaced at over $100,000. The House of Providence at Dun- das, Ont., a home for orphans and old people, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. All the inmates escaped without injury. They will be housed in the drill hall until more suitable quarters are found. Mrs. Jane Brotherton, a widow 65 years of age, while attempting to take a short cut through the railway yards at Toronto junction, by crawling under freight cars, had her head severed from the body by a car running over her. Death was instantaneous. An explosion at the Bury powder mills, near Shamokin,. Pa., last night caused the death of two men, Daniel Burke and Daniel Halebusch. Richard Dewitt was so badly burned that he is not expected to recover. THIRD PARTY USELESS. Yellow Feverat Havana Havana, Oct. 4.—The yellow fever situation is not improving. During the month of September 257 cases were officially reported, with a mortality of 25 per cent. Eighty-four cases are now under treatment and 28 new cases have been reported during the last 48 hours. Until Febrvary Havana cannot be considered secure against a yellow fever epidemic.

BY THE POISON HOI I I:, Charle* Athcrtou Suicided In Spokane -l.'sed to Work Here. Charles Atherton, formerly an employe of the Columbia & Western railway, committed suicide in Spokane on Wednesday by taking poison. The only cause assigned for the rash deed was temporary nsanity due to despondency. He had made an attempt on his life with a revolver on Sept. 25, shortly after his arrival in Spokane and just alter a three days' spree, for which he was kept four days in jail. Atherton worked for a long time for the Columbia & Western and was well known in Trail, Robson and Rossland, as well as Nelsor He was a quiet fellow on the whole but went on periodical sprees after which he was frequently in the habit of threatening to commit suicide.

NO TROUBLE TO QUOTE YOU RATEfc AND GJVE YOU A POINTER Regarding The Eastern The Victoria Colonist, which may fairly be regarded as the official organ of Premier Dunsmuir, in the issue of Sunday last, withdraws its attention from Fed. ral politics and enters into a lengthy discourse on Provincial affairr, probably inspired. Nothing tangible is given but enough is said to show that Premier Dunsmuir is about to euter upon a new and progressive stsgo in his administration. A new policy in which there will be no room for partisanism is to be launched, presumably at the next session at Victoria. In its editorial upon the subject the Colonists says; "Under the circumstances above net out, wo Submit thnt it ie lime to consider how aline of action can lie matured which will give lull effect to what has heen so anspieiously inaugurated. .Vr.

In this Riding the election is held at the time appointed by the Returning Officer, the only limit being that it must be within eight days ofthe nominations. This exception of the Riding from the general law is necessary because of the remoteness and inaccessibility of many of the subdivisions which have to be supplied with ballot boxes etc., some of which, perhaps, cannot be supplied in time.

Great interest is lieing taken in the opeaing of the Colville Indian Reservation whieh tho U S Government haa oi:- nonnced will take place shortly. The country is said to bo of extreme fertility, and a rush similar to that which took plase when Oklolionitt wss thrown open to settlement is being looked for. The Reservation is in the noitborn port of Washington State, and close up to Iho Canadian boundary. The prini'ipa) places in the neighborhood are Molson, Chesaw, mid Bolster which nre wHIiin a few miles of tho Boundary line, nnd thev are most easily reached ly the Canadiun Pacific Railway's new Boundary Creek extension to Midway, ihe distance Irom that point being only 19 miles lo Bolster, 20!,. to Chesaw and 23j£ lo Molfon by a good wagon road. In lhe past difficulty has been experienced in getting shipments of freight to those parts owing to lack of Customs facilities, but this will now le completely overcome as the United Stales Government has just assigned a (.'iistini Officer to Midwav to facilitate the transfer of American freight to those points.
