A  MAJ'TIN MEUTING.
The first meeting of (he political
campaign, in the Silverion district, was
held iu McKiunohs' Hall on Wednes
day evening. It whs a meeting of the
supporters snd sympathizers of the
piesent Government and was for the
purpose of electing delegates tt attend a
convention to be held, which will ■ om-
inaie a candidate fur the Slocan Riding
to stand in the interests of Joseph
Mm tin's Government. There wet*
suine twenty persons present several of
whom avowed support-era and the rest
more or less in sympathy wilh the
movement. J. A. McKinnon presided
over the meeting and acted asohsirman.
After a lew short addresses and several
animated discussions, in which the
chair took a prominent psrt, four delegates were chosen to attend the convention which is to ne called chortly.
The delegates chosen were: Messrs J.
A. McKinnon, J. I MrInto_.li, W. 3.
Horton and J. Mcltobbie.
Considering the serious object for
which the meeting was called those

During the week a fmce of men wero
put to work on the Four Mile wagon
road putting that thoroughfare into a
Qtato of repair. A largo amount of
heavy hauling is done over this rond,
wagons passing over it daily loaded with
from four to six tons of ore. The force
now engaged hy the Government are
repairing tho wjrst parts of it and
filling in the worst umd holes with rock.
The keeping of thia rosd in n passahle
condition is of vital im|ioitsnce to the
town of Silverton and the many mine-
ou tiers of this district and the Governments action in putting men to work
upon it is highly commendable.
Silverton's ore shipments for tho week
consists of three carloadB, all of which
was sent out by the Wakefield Mines
and consisted of one car of clesn nre nnd
two nf concentrates. Early in May it la
expected that the Vancouver will commence steady shipments lo the smelter

to fall into line st any time. Owing
to the bad slate of the trail to the Hewett
mine that propeity will not bo able to

Leeuw     Kop,   April     .33.—The
Boers   retired    so     quickly   from
their     positions   here    that    they
left a quantity   of ammunition and
many  rifles 'behind   them.    When
the Warwickshire regiment took the
farm house at the foot of the ridge,
the  Boers'  pom-pom   inflicting  no
damage, the  Welsh   regiment  advanced   along  the  Warvvickshires'
left  and   approached the ridge, experiencing a cross fire.
When the Boers fled, they were
pbliged to move for some distance
along the skyline, and the artillery
planted a shell with great accuracy,
It burst just above the Boers, rolling over three horses.
It appears that Gen. Dickson met
with   opposition,   the  Boers firing
their  rifles  at long  range.    Their
position   was one of great  natural
strength.    Gen.   Pole-Carew's   admirable   disposition    of   his    force
thoroughly puzzled the  Boers, who
were unable to see the  direction  of
the attack owing to a deep spruit.
The British artillery was   unable to
join  in  time lo  reply to  the  Boer
gun, which was shelling the mounted infantry vigorously.    The shells,
however, burst   300 yards high and
did no damage.
It is stated that Gen. Dewet holds
the waterworks with a strong force.
The Boers who held  Leeiiw  kop
trekked to the  eastward.    General
French sent out a  body of cavalry
to the south and a few  shots were
heard, but apparently the Boers  do
not hold strong positions anywhere

London, April   24.—All attention
is centered    on    the   interesting,
though complicated,situation on the
southeastern portion of the Orange
Free   State,   from   which developments of the most importance must
ensue in the near  future.    General
Rundle, apparently, has  found   the
Boers confronting   him   at Dewets
Dorp stronger than he cares to en
gage, so he is marking time   pen cl
ing the arrival  of support.    While
Gen. Rundle is  preparing to strike
Dewets Dorp, Generals Brabant and
Hart are pushing along the frontier
of Basutoland, whence they will  be~
able to frustrate any attack on Gen.
Rundle's right, and Generals French
and Pole-Carew are hastening from
Bloemfontein to  bar  the Boer line
pf retreat.

In   the   meantime   the   burgher
forces occupying  Thaba  Nchu   are
in a position to fight a delaying ac
tion,   giving   the   Boer  farces   at
Dewets Dorp and Wepener time tJ
retire in case of defeat, and it seems
as   though   Gen. French must dispose of this Thaba   Nchu  force before he   can 'reach   the  rear of the
Boer forces opposing Generals Rundle   and ^Brabant,   otherwise    his
flank would be open to assault. The

THE JAPANKNK INVASION.
Nearly 3000  Came to   Victoria Since
,1::'.- January   1   'liie t'untie.
Victoria Colonist.
Altogether a total of 5026 Japanese have been brought from their
own country by the steamers touching at this port from the orient since
January 1. Of these, 2245 went on
with the ships that brought them,
leaving 2781 dropped at this city,
to be accounted for.
The reasons for the present  rush
are given in many forms,   while the
Japanese in   relation   to American
life, trade and conditions  comes  in
for equal variety of criticism.    It is
said the Japanese are leaving their
own country in consequence of the
reported imminence of Russian war;
then again it is asserted the closing
of Ihe gates of Hawaii  has  turned
the volume of plantation  immigration hitherward.     The  opening  of
the fishing season accounts for quite
a number.and the initiation of large
railway   works   on   the   American
roads probably explains  the  presence of a larger quota.
On the authority of a railway and
steamship man of prominence  it   is
asserted that not more than 15 per
cent of the incoming Japanese remain   in   British  Columbia,   while
quite 65 per cent go through a week
or two after landing to  the   United
States.      The N.   P.   R.   employs
them along its line,   working. 4000
at present; the G. N. R.   has   1000
or more and will  soon   treble   this
number; the C. P. R. gives its road
work to white  men,   and  this  explains the predeliction of the brown
people for both or either of the rival
lines. B
Then   comes   another   question.
Speak to the Japanese, and  he will
tell you that more than half of these
arriving Japanese were here before,
or else had   relatives   here.     They
travel more and spend their  money
quicker   than  do  Iheir rivals,   the
Chinese, and in the latter respect do
more perhaps for  the  country that
doesn't especially want them.
After   the  fishing season of last
year, according to one of the  customs  officials  close   in touch with
the interesting subject,   more than
4000 Japanese  went    back     from
British Columbia, visiting, their aggregate wages amounting to $600,-
000; while workers in the Cariboo
and  other  up country mines  went
home with many  thousands   more.
These   men    returning   form    a
large proportion of the  present  arrivals.    They also explain  a point
raised by the Japanese  consul   and
which otherwise would  seem  unin
telligible.    Japan,   it   seems,  does
not allow unrestricted emigration of
her people.    One hundred and sixty
in any month is the  limit that  may
be sent  to Canada, although those
who have previously been here may
naturally return just  when  it suits
their business or convenience.

of age,   and   Karl   Dullman,   all
of    whom     are    charged      with
having   attempted   to    blow    up
lock 24 of the Welland canal Saturday night.
The general impression is that
this gang has been operating as the
hirelings of capitalists to cripple
the'Welland canal in order to divert the traffic of the upper lakes
from Montreal to Buffalo.
A detachment of the Forty-fourth |
battalion   is   guarding   the    court '
house   to  prevent  any  attempt of
a mob from Buffalo, which, it is reported, is preparing to liberate the
prisoners.
The court   house   this  morning
was crowded when the hour of trial
arrived.    Among those  present  to
give evidence were American government  secret service detectives.
After   the  reading   of   the charge
against the accused by Police Magistrate Logan,   Solicitor McBurney,
on behalf of the three accused,asked
for immediate trial, but the magistrate refused and remanded the case
for eight days.    The prisoners were
taken  to Welland jail this   after
noon.

French's arrival near the Modder

morning.
"The mounted infantry under

are expected.
London,    April    25.—The  indecisive actions and slow progress   of
Generals Hart and Brabant are relatively unimportant, when compared   with  the progress of General
French.     It is now evident   that
Lord Roberts  wishes   not  only to
defeat the Boers but to pen them in,
as at  Paardeberg.    For  this end,
40,000 British   troops  are  concentrating in the southeastern  part of
the Orange Free State and are operating a ccording to carefully de-
I vised plans, in which delay may  be
as much due to strategy  as  to necessity.
The success   of  this   important
movement almost entirely  depends
on General French.  If he can sweep
down from the north   with   the  rapidity of execution  which  he displayed at Kimberly and Paardeberg,
he will effect the same  swift,  sudden transformation which   followed
the cavalry evolutions two months
ago.    According to   the   last   accounts he was pushing on   successfully.    Every day the Boers remain
at     Wepener    improves    General
French's chance of success.
To     put     a   girdle   round the
t wenty-fi vethousand Boers estimated
to be in the southeastern part of the
Orange Free  State,  Lord  Roberts
has evidently taken   large chances,
The British critics differ   regarding
the result,  some declaring it is already impossible for the Boers to
•escape  from the net.     There is a
.general impression that the advance
upon Pretoria will be taken up with-

London, April 21, 6:18 p. m.-~
The war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts:
"Bloemfontein, April 21.—Run-
die's lorce came in contact with the
enemy yesterday,' four miles southwest of Dewesdorp. They occupied strong positions covering the
town. The yeomanry and mounted
infantry seized another position,
which enabled Rundle to drive the
enemy off and occupy the high
ground the enemy hud been holding. Rundle advanced this morning early and is now again engaged
with the enemy. Our casualties
yesterday were two men severely
and Lieutenant O'Connor and seven
men slightly wounded."   '
Fight With Besieging Boera.
Bloemfontein, April 20.—Continuing their march ori Friday, Generals Chermside and Rundle came
into contact with the Boers near
Dewet's Dorp at noon. Fighting
continued until dark, and was principally carried on by the artillery,
which temporarily silenced two
Boer guns. The British comman d
the hills for miles around the Boers,
who are reported to hold strong positions, but are probably retiring.
The casualties on the British side
were slight, and most of them occurred among the yeomanry and
mounted infantry. The firing was
at long range. None of the British
troops were killed.
Boer* Strongly Belnforced.
Maseru, Basutoland, April 21.—
The Boers around Wepener have
been reinforced and are now
stronger than ever. The firing of
cannon and rifles, heard today in
the direction of Dewetsdorp, was
looked upon as meaning that relief
was approaching. Heavy firing is
hourly expected. Two large Boer
forces left the vicinity of Wepener
this morning, one going in the direction of Dewetsdorp and the other
towards Rouxville.
The Boers are excited and jubilant in consequence of President
Steyn's assertion that foreign intervention is certain and that it is the
only thing to continue the struggle
for a short time. Generals Dewet
and Olivier are inspiring the burghers with inflammatory patriotic
speeches.
Several houses have .been filled
with the Boer- wounded and others
have been sent tb Ladybrand.
Field Cornet Bouwert, who surrendered to. the British and afterwards joined the Free Staters, has
been arrested by the Boers. His
wife offered ^600 bail for his appearance. . It was refused.

Wepener and had captured us
prisoners, including the chief artillery officers. The report adds that
the British from Aliwal are destroying farm houses.
The Irish brigade paraded this
morning in front of President Kru-

Boshof, Orange Free State, April
21.—At midday yesterday General
Methuen's field force at Swartzkop-
jesfontein was ordered to return to
Boshof. Its convoy extended over
six miles and with the escort took
up a position on a hill commanding
the road just in the nick of time, as
a force of 2000 Boers, witn two
guns and a pom-pom, suddenly appeared in the vicinity and fired
heavily. The British however held
them in check until the colujnn
reached a point of safety, when they
retired. The British had several
casualties. The Boers fought de-
terminedly and must have advanced
to within 300 yards of the hill,
whence a concealed detachment of
the British opened a heavy fusilade
on them.
Bracing Up Boera With JLlea.
Kimberly, April 20.—Boer official notices have been found placarded at Campbell and elsewhere,
saying that in the recent battles the
Boers captured 18,000 troops, 18
cannon and 800 wagons,and setting
forth that the burghers were full of
valor, that the outlook was bright,
and saying confirmation had been
received of the report that Russia
had invaded India with two and a
half million men. Another official
Boer notice appoints Gen. Lieben-
burg to command Griqualand West,
and warns all burghers to join under
penalty of punishment in accordance
with the martial law of the Free
State.

THK   SULTAN'S   NRW    STAND-OFF
He Denlei That   American  Claimant*
Are Preferred Creditor*.
Washington,April 23.—The state
department has received through
Lloyd Griscom, the United States
charge at Constantinople, the reply
of the Turkish government to
the latest representations of the
United States touching the American missionaries' claims.
It is gathered that the very brief
outlines of the Turkish response
cabled from Constantinople, to the
effect that American claimants must
take their position along with those
of other nations, do not convey accurately the tenor of the whole note,
though it is admitted that it does
set out clearly one portion of it.
The opinion prevails in diplomatic
circles here that, assuming that the
Turkish government has insisted on
including the Americans' claim with
the others, it has played a diplomatic card of some strength, as it
places the United States in a position of seeking to extort better
terms from the Turks than are to
be accorded to the claimants of
other nations.
The state department has determined not to abandon the preferential position respecting its claims
that it has secured through the sultan's own promises, so it is anticipated that an energetic response tb
this last note will be sent to the
portt through Mr. Griscom.

Victoria, B. C, April 21.—C. P.
Dam and Capt. Hecklman of Nome,
formerly of Seattle, who left there
January 24, and came by the Kat
mai route, arrived in Victoria as
passengers on the Cottage City this
morning. They brought out the
U. S. mail and completed the last
stage of their journey in company
with J. D. Morgan and John-Fredericks, also from Nome, but formerly of San Francisco, who had
left fully a month in advance of
them.
It has been a quiet winter at
Nome, according to Mr. Dam, and
while there has been considerable
scratching of the country in all directions, no really notable new discoveries have been reported since
the last advices from the camp were
sent forward.
The great difficulty of the Nome
camp has been during the now ending winter, and still is, the scarcity
of fuel. The cold is piercing and
the problem of getting sufficient
wood to keep the cabin holders
from freezing has become very
erious. For miles east and west-
of Nome all the wood had been
gathered up before January and
consumed, and miners' meetings
were talked of for the purpose of
compelling a sharing up by those
who thriftily had gathered a store
of wood, when it was available for
the purpose of ground thawing.
Stealing from the piles having
grown common, it had become the
practice, even before Mr. Dam
started out, for the wood owners to
mount guard day and night,
rifle in hand, over their
property. The current price
of beach wood on January 20 was
$40 and $50 a cord (of most inferior
quality), while coal was quoted at
from $125 to $150 per ton. There
is a fortune in it for the first steamer
that lands fuel in the camp this
spring.
Good reports continue to reach
Nome from the Port Clarence district, Norman Smith, the United
States deputy mineral and land
surveyor, and Charles L. Cole be
ing among the latest to return from
the port. Each had staked and
recorded a number of claims.
At Norton Bay, Christmas was

These included the killing of a man

The Cottage City brought upwards of forty passengers, many of
whom were from Dawson, having
left there as late as the third of the

DAY AND NIGHT
The Struggle Near Wepener Continues
in Rain Storms.
Amazon* Anionic the Boer*.
London, April 21.—A letter from
a nurse in a hospital at Capetown
says the medical officers, for sanitary reasons, forced a number of
Boer prisoners to bathe in the river
behind the hospital. Several of them
absolutely refused to strip and,
when forced to do so, it was found
they were women in men's clothes.
The writer adds "quite a number of
the dead on battlefields have been
found to be women similarly disguised and, wo rse than this, it has
often been these women who were
guilty of atrocities, killing the
wounded, etc., mentioned in the
dispatches."
Boer Camp, Thabanchu, Orange
Free State, April 27—Fighting continues day and night at Jammers-
burg drift. The English trenches
are so full of rain that the men have
been obliged every now and then to
clamber to the banks, only to be
shot down. The Boers were so
drenched on Saturday that they
were unable to sleep, so they started
a debate on the subject of the good
to be derived from virtue and courage. The discussion lasted most of
the night, shells at intervals interrupting the speakers.
Robertson's lower mill is reported
to have been captured April 21, and
it is said that the Cape mounted
rifles have lost during the siege 120
out of 500 men. The British prisoners defy the burghers to capture
Colonel Dalgetty's camp, even if the
British are not reinforced. A surprising number of relatives are fighting on opposite sides  at.  Wepener.
Boer Movement Fall*.
Wakkerstroom, April 22.—Evening.—After yesterday's shelling, it
was expeeted that the Boers would
open again, but Colonel Brabazon,
with the yeomanry, made a thorough scout to the left. The Boers
endeavored to turn the British right,
but the movement was detected by
the yeomanry and mounted infantry,
and the guns opened fire and drove
them off, greatly extending the position. None of the Boers' guns
were in action. There were no
British casualties. Many of the
Boers are moving southward.
motive of Boer Mo vement*.
New York, April 23.—Isaac N.
Ford cables to the New York
Tribune from London:
"Light has been thrown upon
the mysterious opeiations in the
southeastern section of the Free
Stite. The Boers have been less
intent upon raiding the main British line of communications than
upon holding possession of the
granaries between Wepener and
Ficksburg, and drawing off General
Roberts' forces from a direct advance northward. They have from
Wepener to Harrismith a base well
stocked with good supplies and
well suited for guerilla warfare.
Reports of the strength of their
forces in the mountainous districts
are exaggerated, but with the advantage of a hilly country and roads
impassable for British artillery, a
few commandos can do much to
harass the flank of General Roberts'
army. It now seems probable that
General Roberts has adapted himself to these tactics and, without
abandoning his direct line of advance, may swep the eastern border as he goes and carry out a wide
turning movement. Otherwise the
relief of Wepener would have been
left to Brabant and Hart, who are
advancing northward through Rouxville.
Two strong divisions are approaching Wepener through Dewetsdorp and it is conjectured that
there may be another one headed
directly toward Ladybrand. The
British preparations are made on so
large a scale that the relief of the
small colonial force at Wepener is
likely to prove an incident rather
than the main motive. When tha
garrison has been rescued, Ladybrand may be occupied and Ficks-
burgapproached. The large British force will be in the right quarter
I for turning  the  Ventersburg-Sene-

kal line of entrenchments   and for
clearing the eartern frontier.■
London, April 23.—General Rundle is evidently advancing towards
Wepener, every step being closely
contested by the Boers. From the
republican side, there is a good deal
of interesting news today. A Thabanchu dispatch, dated April 20, reports the arrival there of Commandants Dewets and Villiers and an attack upon 3000 British under General Gatacre. The latter, of course,
is a misstatement, and probably
General Rundle is referred to. The
British, it is added, occupy some
kopjes, but their left wing was
driven back. The Boer loss was
one killed and five wounded.
Brl tlab Patrol Captured.
From Brandfort comes the news
that on April 21 a British patrol of
ten men ventured to that place
and suffered the loss of one killed
and two men captured, including
a Free Stater, who was leading
the party.
A Pietoria dispatch dated April
21 says the latest official news was
that fighting was proceeding within
half an hour's march ol Dewetsdorp
with no recruits.
To Take Care or Boer Prlaonera
The Transvaal government, it is
added, is to be allowed to send a
clergyman to St. Helena, and also
a neutral consul to watch the interests of the prisoners, in the same
manner as Mr. Adelbert Hay guards
the interests of the British in Pretoria.
A proclamation has been issued,
prohibiting the working of the
mines on Sunday, and inflicting
punishment on managers paying
over a pound a month to natives.
From Ladysmith today comes a
dispatch saying all is quiet and that
Boer guns are silent.
No New* of Roberta' Advance.
There is nothing from Bloemfontein to indicate the progress of the
preparations for the main  advance.
At Capetown a government contractor named Ball has been arrested for harboring three escaped
Boer prisoners, dressed as clergymen. The prisoners were sent
back to Simonstown, whence they
had escaped.
Canadian* Are with Roberta.
Toronto, April 23.—The Globe's
correspondent with the first contingent cables from Bloemfontein under date of April 21 as follows:
"The Canadians moved this afternoon to Springfield, six miles east
of this place. John A. Ewan has
arrived here."
Ewan is the Globe correspondent
with the second Canadian contingent. His arrival at Bloemfontein
indicates that the second contingent
will take part in the movement toward Pretoria, which has probably
commenced.
Hoapltal Ship Maine Arrive*.
Southampton, April 23.—The
United States hospital ship Maine
arrived here from South Africa this
afternoon, unexpectedly early, with
Lady Randolp Churchill on board.
Immediately after the vessel was
moored, the Netley and other officers
boarded the Maine, ard within an
hour all the wounded men were removed in ambulances and placed on
board a train bound for Netley.
A Bid for 10,000 Army Horses.
Chicago, 111,, April 21.—An
English army captain and a special
commissioner called upon a firm of
horse dealers at the stock yards
yesterday to ascertain what they
would charge for 10,000 horses for
the English government for service
in South Africa. The firm submitted estimates in the neighborhood
of $100,000, and they were sent to
England by cable.
Toronto, April 21.—The imperial
officers sent out to purchase remounts for the army in South Africa are meeting with success and
expect to have the first consignment
ready for shipment from Montreal
by May t.
TRUSTINROBERTS
No One Questions Justice of His Criticism of Buller.
London, April 21.—It is marvellous to note the wholeheartedness
of the English public trust in
Lord Roberts in his criticism re
garding the engagement at Spion
Kop. Not one paper has attached
to his criticism of General Buller—■
his predecessor in the command—
one iota of unfairness or selt-ia^er-
est. This, perhaps, is explained by
the universal recognition of the fact
that the field marshal has little to
gain by this campaign, and that he
gave up all to which long and brilliant service entitled hirn, in Order to
serve his country. Whatever the
outcome of the Boer war, Lord Roberts' name would stand in England's military annals as one of the
most successful and best-loved of
her commanders. This fact is ever
before the public, and they believe
their commander-in-chief in South
Africa to be miles above any jealousies or rivalries that might actuate
other generals.
Democratic. King Oscar.
The visit of King Oscar of Sweden to England, though undertaken
incognito, has attracted a surprisingly small amount ol interest. The
spectacle of that monarch—burly,
despite his 71 years, and standing
head and shoulders above his fellows—pushing his way past the station barricades to shake hands with
the Swedish workmen, who had
cheered him as he entered the London depot, can for impulsiveness be
scarcely exceeded in the actions of
the most democratic ruler.
Turkey Baying Blj; Gun*.
The possibility of trouble between
the United States and Turkey has
attracted passing comment in England, though the average newspaper
reader is much more interested in
the Croton dam situation. In connection with the former subject, the
Birmingham Post is responsible for
the statement that Turkey has
placed several important commissions with the Krupps, to be completed before the end of the year,
which include better machine guns
than are at present used by any
European power, and 10,000 mau-
sers, which, immediately upon their
receipt, will be delivered to the
Turkish first army corps.
Simla Show* Hindsight
Spain is apparently scared by a
post bellum publication showing
how many authorities thought the
United States would have been well
advised immediately to attack the
Canaries, for Premier Silvela's ministry is now sending to these islands
a number of heavy guns for defensive purposes. One ot the most
frequent comments heard in English naval circles is that America
should have captured the Canaries
at the outbreak of the Spanish war.
BLOODY WKRK'D WORK IN LI'ZON
1 n_;ll-l>  Capture Camphor monopoly.
Tacomi, April 23.—Oriental advices just received state that Samuel
& Co., an English firm, have outbid
Americans and other foreign firms,
and secured the Formosa camphor
monopoly for ten years.
American*   Accounted  Tor   Kino   lill-
plno* With Slight Lo**.
Manila, April 23.—The last week
has been the bloodiest of the war
since the first day's fighting around
Manila. Authentic reports, mostly
official, show a total 01378 Filipinos
killed, 12 officers and 244 men captured and many more wounded.
Thc number of them is hard to
guess. Considering that the Filipinos entirely lack hospital facilities,
a great majority of the wounded will
dit.
Probably the week's work finished
1,000 insurgents. The. American
total loss was five killed, i(> wounded. Two sergeants and one private
were killed in ambushes, while
escorting provision trains.

We are in receipt this week of a

of Slocan City, jn which he makes
some astonishing charges against tbe
Independent candidate, Mr. R. F.
Green. We do not feel like taking the
responsibility of publishing the letter
as the charges are such as,' in fairness
to Mr. Green,.should be made at one
of his meetings, where he wijl hav<_ an
opportunity of replying to them m
once. W11 bin a few days, Mr. Foley
should have an opportunity of meeting
Mr. Green upon the platfonn and can
then advance against that gentleman
whatever charges he may see fit.
