Within the past few days certain things have come to light tha*. arc placing tlie Grit candidate and his supporters In a peculiar and erabar rasslng position before the electorate, especially In regard to their professed friendship for Labor. John McKane, the Tory candidate, has resurrected a petition that YV. A. Galliher Bigned against theeight hour law. Galliher at first denied it, but the charge has since been proven against him to the hilt, nnd it has cost him scores of votes throughout the district. A. L. Sifton, one ofthe principal Grit spielers, has also liecn proven to have act ed in direct opp-sition to the Labor cause. Galllhcr's petition reads thus: Nelson, B.C., April l, 1899. To the Hon. .Minister ol .Mines, Victoria, B.C.: Sir.—We,the. undersigned business men of Nelson, respectfully beg to ask you, as our representative, to do everything in your power to prevent the disaster which we foresee to us and the district in which wearr interested, through the enforcement of the legislation passed at tho last session of the legislature affecting the hours of underground labor in metalliferous mines. Prom our intercourse with miners in the neighborhood of the town, we are convinced that thoy havo been ■atistied with tho wages that they have been earning and with their labor; and from our knowledge ofthe conditions, we believe that they are better oh" than the miners of the United States, from where many of them have come to better their*circumstances hero. Wi* have invested our money in this place and have it iked much on its growth and prosperity, from the increased working ol present mines and the d ivi lopment uf now Ones; and if, as we believe to bo the case, the interference of the free right of contract of employer and employee is persisted hi, we anticipate i hat pn sent operations will be greatly reduced, and that the open ing of new mines and the development of the country generally will receive a heavy blow from the frightening away of capital, which is known to be ver> timorous whore there is danger ol labor troubles. The rcsultswhich weanticipate would be sn ruinous to us, win Be business is dependent upon the prosperity and i growth ofthe mining Industry and [ to the district as u whole, that wo cannot too stn ngly urge upon you to leave nothing undone, or to take any action, however strong, or unusunl, to prevent any Interference with the state of things which Ins hitherto existed hero with regard to the relations between employer and em* ploj eo, Yours obediently, Signed W.

KniTou Drills Sir,—You have doubtless learned through the press that a movement has been begun for the establishment of a Chamber of Mines for Southern British Columbia, and tothatertd a provisional organization has been effected by the friends of tin-movement. We are endeavoring to get every mining and milling company, mining men, merchants and others in the whole district to join in the moVement. Yi'e think, the time is most opportune for it, and if all those interested in mining will do so, we are certain it will give a great impetus to the mining, milling and smelting industries of the district and cause a large amount of capital to be invested in mines and kindred industries. In the course of two weeks a general meeting (of which due notice will be given) of all those who have already joined the movement and those who signify their intention to do so, will be held, when a permanent organization will be made, officers elected, the membership fee fixed, and all other matters looking to making the Chamber of Mines a useful channel for the dissemination of news relating to the mining industry of the district and be the means of attracting large amount of capital for investment in it.

Wherever Mr. Holden went he found the pamphlets of the great railroad. He found them in Russia, in Norway, in Turkey.

Duluth, Minn., Nov. 24.—Arrangements are now being completed for the construction of steel ships on the lakes, on a large scale for ocean service. These ships will not be limited in size to the length ol the new canal locke.but will be built at any length wanted by buyers. Six or seven large and completely equipped yards on the lakes are in the scheme. The large ship builders have now drawn plans for ships of from 350 to 650 feet in length, but of no greater width than 43 feet, which they have submitted to ocean ship owners. They have also submitted their designs to the bureau of navagation and it has approved them. Tbe plan is to build in sections, ships of a greater length than the present locks will carry, join them together in the ship yard, and run them down the great lakes to Montreal and then put them together. The hulls will be built complete at the lake yards with a bulkhead at both sides of the centre line. The space at the centre between the* bulkheads will framed but the plates will he bolted temporarily. When completed there centre parts will be taken off and the ship launched as two boats. Then the rear part containing the machinery will hitch on to the forward end and one end will tow the other. It is the expectation of lake builders that they can complete not only with the rest of Ihe United States, but with foreign builders.

Nov. 23.—Ex-President Kruger landed here at 10 o'clock this morning from the steamer Gelderland. The Krencli GreOtiUKi Marseilles, Nov. 23—The weather was beautiful and the Boer leader received a magnificent demonstration. He appeared to be in good health and repeatedly took off his hat In acknowledging the acclamations of the people. What Kruger Siiiil. Replying to the addresses of welcome of the presidents of the Paris and Marseilles committees J Mr. Kruger spoke in Dutch *and in a low voice, but he accompanied his words with energetic movements of his hat, which hejield jn his right hand. After thanking the committees for the warmth of the reception accorded him and^ expressing gratitude for the sympathy he had received from the French government, he spoke of the war as being terrible and barbarously conducted by the British. He said, "I have fought with savages, hut tbe present war is even worse. We will never surrender, we are determined to fight to the last extremity and if the republics of tbe Transvaal and tbe Orange Free State lose their independence it will be because they have lost every man and child." The Gelderland was sighted several miles out at 8 o'clock in the morning and Dr. Leyds and Messrs. Fischer and Wessels, an interpreter and Mr. Van llammcl, immediately proceeded to tbe Dutch warship in a steam launch and soon afterwards boarded her. A conference of the Boer leaders ensued. The Gelderland remained behind the island of the Chateau d'lf, when she steamed into the outer harbor, firing a salute of twenty-one guns to which a shore battery replied. Mr. Kruger cannot but be elated at the warmth of his reception bv the people oi Marseilles today. Prom the moment the white, twelve- oared barge left the side of the Gelderland with ex-President Kruger sitting in her stern, surrounded by the Boer representatives, the storm of cheering never ceased until he entered his hotel. The fighting declaration which Mr. Kruger made at the landing stage dispelled at once any impression that he might accept a compromise trom the British government. His announcement was greeted with a roar of cheers and cries of "vive Kruger," "vive les Boers," "vive la libertv." He repeated the sentiment from the hotel balcony, where, replying to the storm ol acclamations from the solid block of thousands of people, Mr. Kruger said the reception given him today would do much to sooth the wounds of his heart. The Boer, he said, would never sacrifice their freedom. They would rather be exterminated to the last man. Two DnltM III AiiM-ricM. London, Nov. 34.—Two dukes will soon arrive in the United States.

All sorts of rumors arc current about the jocky club investigation into Lord Durham's charges against Lester Reifl among which is the allegation that a well known sportsman bribed jockeys with large amounts, during the past season, with large profits. Whatever the truth of the charges, it is certain that the investigation has developed into a far largor scope than when it commenced and now involves grave issues, in which English as well as American jockeys and owners are concerned.

Gosnell, secretary ol the provincial bureau of information, prints the following notice: "In order that the government may be in possession of definite information with which to supply those seeking investments in this province, I am instructed to invite particulars from those who have properties for sale, and who may feel disposed lo forward such particulars to this ollice for the purpose in question. |„ view of the proposed early reorgan- ization of the agent-general's 0ffice in London, England, the desirabil. ity of having on file a list of fKtni and other properties for sale, wjtri full and accurate/letails, is obviom The fullest particulars are desired not only of the properties them, selves, but of the locality in which they are situated, and the conditions affecting them.

Loiittusi'ti Lord tin,„r London, Nov. 24,—Mr. Frank Green, London's new Lord Mayor takes a'^very practical and friendly view of tbe American competition of the city's trade and transport*, tion.

Regarding placing the government loans in ^America, patriotism naturally compels me to say that Knglish financiers should have tht first chauce; but if Americans -give better terms, why, let them have them by all means. All things being equal, I see no reason vli Americans should not be alluded to subscribe to the loan which ,*. likely to be asked for at the resumption of parliament, and if by open competition she can secure tht bulk I am sure no hard feeling will exist in the city.

M. Vandervelde, the Socialist leader in the house, declared that Sipidio's extradition was illegal and that it had been secured by the interven- | tion of King Leopold, who was prompted thereto by a desire to pro pitiate Great Britain. M. Vanderheuvel, minister ol justice, in defending the government's action in the case, declared that Sipidio had been surrendered to the Belgian authorities by France in virtue ol the Franco-Belgian COO* tion ot 1898, which provided that each nation should surrender to the refugee minors who had doled without discretion, New York, Nov. 23,—American dispatches, says the Tribune's London correspondent, indicate that the Chinese situation is regarded more seriously in Washington than it is in London. The theory that the British government will join tier- many in impossible demands on China is not supported by the fact as understood in diplomatic circles in the British capital. The two powers are working together, but clearly the British government will not persist in demanding an impossibility when the interests ofthe mercantile community in England require the restoration of the normal trade relations with China at the earliest possible date. Premature action by the United States government in withdrawing from negotiations will retard that settlement. Tbe Herald bas a Washington dispatch which says Tien Tsin, Nov. 21, via Shanghai, Nov. 21,—There has been considerable tiring recently in the neighborhood of Tien Tsin, and owing to a report, that the German quarter of the city would be attack- ed,last night the German troops were held in readiness for action at an iustant's notice.

The hold up occured at 7:30 o'clock and was brought about by half a dozen men. The bandits had built a huge bonfire on the track, undoubtedly figuring that it would cause the engineer to bring the train to a standstill. He, however, scenting an attempted tobbery, opened the trottle and sought to rush their fiery obstacle. Several burning ties caught in the pilot and I soon brought the train to a standstill. Instantly three masked men ordertd the engineer and fireman to leave the engine at once. Another robber went on lhe side ot the car, hailed the conductor and ordered hi in to remain inside. Each older was obeyed. While the four robbers were standing guard and occasionally tiring a shot to frighten the passenger, their two accomplices entered the express car and ordered messenger Samuel Havory to "step aside or get in the corner." The large safe was charged five times with dynamite, each explosion making a terrible noise tnd tearing off portions oi lhe car.
