Toronto, Oct. 23.—Letters received here yesterday from officers
of the first Canadian contingent go
to show that the departure of tha
regiment from South Africa . was
preceded by a'regretable misunderstanding, owing toCol. Otter assuming the responsibility of intimating to Lord Roberts that the whole
force was willing to remain till the
end of the war without consulting
the regiment, which was at that
time broken up in small detachments   and   stationed   at    various
points.
When the men learned of Otter's
action in pledging them   to  remain
without their knowledge they  were
angry and stated  that they  would
have willingly consented to remain
had they been asked,   but  objected
to Col. Otter giving a   promise  off
hand.    So strong was  the  feeling
that eventually all the men who had
volunteered    were   ordered   home.
The  remainder,   consisting  of   the
permanent corps, were grouped  together and  now  form   a  company
which remains under Col. Otter.

Indians Dying
They Caught No Salmon
This Season and the
Country (Flooded
Vancouver, B.   C,   Oct.   23.—-A
special from   Agassi/,   B. C,   says
that two hundred Indians are starving at    Pemberton   Meadows,   150
miles north of Agassiz.    An  Indian
rider brought tbe news  today  that
fifty Indian families are  dying  and
lhat it is doubtful if supplies can be
sent to them  quick enough to  save
their lives.    They have  caught  no
salmon    this  season,   their   potato
crop has failed and their stock  has
been drowned by   the floods.    Recent heavy   rains  have  caused  the
Harrison river to overflow its banks
and the whole country   is said to be
flooded.    Conditions are said to be
worse now than  during  the  disastrous floods of 1894, when   the district was  under  six   feet   of water.
Supplies are being rushed from Vancouver to lhe stars ing  Indians.

Deported   Lot ot a Toronto *Uu Who
Subscribed #10,000,
Toronto, Oct. 22.—Sir Wilfrid
Laurier's emphatic denial of H. H.
Cook's statement in regard to the
offer made him of a senatorsbip on
receipt of $10,000 is likely to be
followed by a decidedly ^interesting
development. Mr. Cook says his
statement with reference to the offer
of a senatorship was true in every
particular. He said he was careful
not to make his charge without being able to support it by facts.
In connection with the question
of trafficking in senatorships, a
a pretty straight story comes from
a friend of a prominent Toronto
capitalist, who stated personally
that he actually subscribed the
necessary $10,000 for a seat in lhe
senate and was bounced out of the
position.

Washington, Oct. 23,—The president has jssued the following proclamation:
"In tbe fullness of years and honors, JoluVSherman, lately secretary
of state, has passed away,
"Few among'our citizens have
risen to greater or more deserved
eminence^in the national councils
than he. The story of bis public
life and services is as it were the
history of the country for half a
century.
"In the congress  of the   United
States he ranked   among  the  foremost in the house and later  in   the
senate.    He was twice a member of
the executive cabinet, first as secretary of the treasury and  afterwards
as secretary of state.     Whether  in
dehate during the dark hours of our
civil war, or'as the^director  of the
countryVfinances during the period
of rehabilitation, or a trusted counselor in framing   thc   nation's   laws
for over 40 years, or as   the   ex o-
nent of its foreign policy,    .s course
was ever marked by devotion to the
best interests_^of  his   beloved   land
and by able   and   conscientious   efforts to uphold its dignity and   honor.    His countrymen will   long   revere bis memory "and sec  in him a
type of patriotism,   the   uprightness
and the zeal   thai   go   to   moulding
and strengthening a nation.
"In fitting expression of the
sense ol bereavement tbat afflicts
the republic I direct that on the day

of the I'nited States display the national flag at'hatf mast and that tbe

shall pay in like manner appropriate
respect for tbe illustrious dead for

Nelson, B. C. Oct. 23.—[Special]
Three years imprisonment was tbe
sentence    imposed    on    Wm.    R.
Hocking,   ot   Cranbrook,   charged
with  bigamy.    Hocking  was  married  at  Salt Lake, Utah, in   1895.
They   afterward   separated, and in
i8y8, he received a Salt Lake paper
in   which  was  advertised  the  fact
that he had been  made the defendant in  a suit  for  divorce instituted
bv Winnie  Hocking,  and that if no
counter plea  was entered within Go
days  the  decree   would be granted 1
by default.
Hocking asserted lhat he took no
action   and  thought   the matter of
his firrt  marriage was disposed of.
Later, in 1899, he   met  Miss Montgomery and  married her.    A damaging piece  of evidence was given
by the second  wife who testified at
Moyie  that   Hocking  once said to
her in a fit  of passion: "Vou have
no hold on  me."    The  prosecution
held   this  statement   indicated that
Hocking knew his second marriage
was not bintling  and therefore bigamous.
In reply to the query as to whether he  had  anything   to  say before
sentence was passed Hocking made
the  neatest  speech  ever  delivered
from the prisoner's box in the court
louse.    He urged his honor to deal
leniently   wirh    him,     maintaining
strenuously    that   be   was   wholly
guiltless   of  any intention  lo break
the law  or  wrong the woman who
bad become his wife  at Cranbrook.
He was anxious   to   have an opportunity   to   see   Miss   Montgomery
before being   taken   to the penitentiary   in  order   to   turn   over what
money and   valuables  he possessed
to her   and   would   also,   if the law
permitted, marry her at tbe earliest
possible  moment  in   order that her
unborn child might have a name.
Hocking's   remarks   were   neatly
worded and  created   a  marked im-
j pression.    The   sentence   of   three
years was then passed and  the case
closed.
Uncoil lusted    by    Low  Freight   auu
Treatment Rates at Trail,   ._    ,
While   in the Boundary,   a   lew-
days since, J. G. Sullivan, eugineer
of construction in British Columbia,
for the C. P. R..   said to  a Gazette
representative that  the company in
tended to  handle  the  freight busi-
ness of that  section  and improvements won'-d be made in the service
as fast  as  they  were found necessary.    The tonnage at   present was
very fair and  constantly on  the in-
crease.
The low freight and treatment
rate offered at Trail was proving an
incentive to the development of
mining property in the Boundary
and he expected to see large num.
bers of the mines on the |shipper's
list before many months.

The Chenoweth murder case was

Hocking trial, says the Nelson Tribune. Four crown witnesses were
examined before court adjourned tor
tbe dav, H. A. Mac Lean conducting
the prosecution and A. H. MacNeill
of Rossland cross examining for the
defense.
A   startling   announcement   was
made by Mrs. Wright,   one  of the
crown's witnesses, who stated positively on oath that   since   the   preliminary   examination    before    1 he
magistrate at Rossland in May  last
her husband  bad  been   approached
by two Chinamen who   offered him
$300 to bring evidence which would
secure the conviction   of little   Ernest Chenoweth.     This   testimony
will   doubtless   have     a     material
bearing on thc case  as   supporting
the contention of  the   defense  that
Mrs. Chenoweth's Chinese  servant
was murdered   by   his   fellow-conn.
trymen at the instigation   of Ml&h-
hinders,or a secret society of similar
nature.
Tbe extreme youth   of  the  lit'1**

In lhe   recent   history   of   Canadian

years of age.    Had the lad been under seven years he could   not  have

Agree to Maintain   China's
Territorial Integrity.
TERMS OF THE ALLIANCE
Want the Ports   Kept   Open   to
the Peoples  of  All
Countries.
London, Oct. 20.- -Germany and
England have formed an alliance to
maintain the territorial integrity of
China and to keep the ports open.
The terms of this important agreement of the two countries, which
was arrived at between Lord Salisbury and Count von Hatsfeldt, Cer.
man ambassador to England, are
officially given out as follows:
"The German government and
Her British Majesty's government,
being desirous to maintain their interests in China and their right under existing treaties, have agreed
to observe the following principles
regarding a mutual policy in China:
"Firstly—It is a matter of joint
permanent international interest
that the ports on the rivers of China
.should remain free and open to
trade and to every other ligitimate
torm of economic activity for the
peoples of all countries without distinction, and the two governments
agree on their part to uphold the
same for all Chinese territory, as
far as they can exercise their influence.
"Secondly — Both governments
will not, on their part, make use of
the present complications to obtain
for themselves any territorial advantage in the Chmese dominion,
and will direct their policy towards
maintaining, undiminished, tbe territorial condition ofthe Chinese empire,
"Thirdly—In case of another
pov.fr making use ol the complications in China, in order to obtain
under anv form whatever such territorial advantages, the two contracting parties reserve to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding regarding
the eventual step to be taken for
the protection of their own interests
in China."
The lulled Mair*.
Washington, Oct. 20. — The
United States will closely adhere to
the principles contained in this
agreement, and if Russia can be
brought to accept its terms as binding upon herself, there can be no
doubt, according to the official view
liere, that a substantial movement
will have been achieved toward a
final settlement of the Chinese
trouble.

HANDOUTS.
Tbe impression is prevalent that
a newspaper is a sort of "associated
charities," and there are more people on this earth waiting for "handouts," than would .stock :i good
sized wood yard. Business men
want "pull's," and the man who is
trying to sell stock wants ";i good
word" for his property, and another
man with a scheme wants it presented to the public "as 1 news
item,you know," and the fellow that
figures that he can make a little
money for himself by guaranteeing
a concert company wants you lo
".keep it hot," and the man with
the fancy show window, who does
not advertise, says the paper is "no
good," because mention of that
particular window is not made in
the editorial column, and another
man who does not advertise just
wants you to make a note of the
fact that he has tnov<*d to a new
place of business, and the church
entertainments, societies, clubs,
picnics, parties, dances and the like
that want free notices, are something awful. Of course, we are not
unmindful of the fact that there is a
reward in the hereafter, for all this,
but a fellow is expected to pay a
few bills here below. In nine cases
out of ten, the various schemes
above mentioned are money making
propositions for somebody and
they should pay for their advertising
just as the manager of the theatre
pays for his. Sometimes people
bring "complimentary" tickets in
consideration for which they want a
half column write-up before the
show and one of equal length after
it. We don't want tickets, so don't
bring any. We want cash. If,
when Saturday night come*?, we
tried to work off on the printers
part cash and the balance in tickets
to a pie social, the typographical
union would justly support their
objections.
A newspaper has space for sale,
just as a merchant has merchandise
for sale, and there is no more sense
in asking a paper to print a three
or four inch "free" notice for a
meeting than there is in asking a
livery man to lend you a hack and
driver to take you there. Every
line of type in a newspaper represents cash paid to printers. Don't
forget that

ting that such  an  occasion   should
receive  due    recognition.    Nature
bas endowed this province with   resources  of   untold  wealth, which,
directly    or    undirectlj,   is    today
redounding to  the  betterment and
benefit of every individual   who has
chosen to make his home within   its
confines.    More  keenly  is  this  to
be appreciated,   when one  stops  a
moment to reflect  on  the reverses
which have visited other  communities,   beset   by storms,    droughts
failures and ike misfortunes.  Here
where      employment     is     plenti
ful, and the wage is fair, one is  apt
to lose sight  of conditions  in  less
favored countries, where the  means
of maintenance  for the family and
schooling for the little ones is  more
limited.    The  people  ot   Kootenay
can truly join in one voice of thanksgiving,    for  the bounty and plenty

Buffalo, N. V., Oct. 22.—A special to the News from„Corry, Pa.,

"A horrible murder and suicide
occurred here early this morning.
About one o'clock two shots were

was paid to them, however, until
this morning, when the dead bodies
of Harry Bettis and Daisy Blyden*
berg were found on a seat under a
tree. Both were shot through the
temple. The revolver with which
the deed was done was clenched in
Bettis' right hand. It is thought by
many that the deed was premeditated.
Tbe young couple attended chin ch
last night and spent a pleasant
evening together at Miss Blyden-
berg's home and later called on
friends. When bidding them good*
live, they said; "Well, good-b\e,

Ered Vuengling, who left several
mementos in Rossland when he

"One more checker has been
added to Ered Vuengling's already

departure, but reports reached the
tenderloin that the young spendthrift was settling down in Biitish
Columbia and doing a fine business
there. But the reports were not
quite accurate, for Deputy Marshall
Bernhard had a warrant in his pocket for the young man's arrest a
week ago, and he was looking high
and low for him.
"Vuengling avoided the tenderloin and that was where Bernhard
naturally sought him. But he
caught him yesterday morning in
New street just after he walked out
of the Hoffman House cafe.
" 'Is this Erederick D. Vueng-
lin?' asked Bernhard.
" 'Ves.' replied Vuengling, all
unsuspecting.    'Why  do you ask?'
"'Vou are my prisoner,' was
Bemhard's answer.
"A few minutes later Bernhard
had his man before United States
Commissioner Alexander in the
federal building.
" 'What have you to say?' asked
Commissioner Alexander of Vuengling.
" 'Not one word,' replied the
young man.
" 'I request,' said acting Cousel-
General C. Give Bayley, of Great
Britain, 'that the prisoner be held
till extradition papers can be made
out. Then we can arrange for the
return ot the prisoner to British
Columbia.'
"The commissioner granted the
request and committed the millionaire's son to Ludlow street jail to
await a bearing on October 22.
"A few years ago Vuengling was
one of tbe most widely known men
about town. His father owned one
of the biggest breweries in New
Vork, and his pocketbook was always open to his boy. So Vuengling went the pace. He aspired to
be the best fellow in the tenderloin,
lie was—while bis father's money
(lowed freely enough."

New Vork, Oct. 22.—Lord Salisbury's diplomatic success in making
terms with Germany and intervening in the China negotiations without authority, silences all talk about
his retirement from the foreign office, says the Tribune's London correspondent. The most industrious
cabinet makers now admit that he
cannot be sparred from the office
and that he must be allowed to
hold it and the premiership as long
as possible. Lord Landsdowne is
now relegated by the rumormong-
ers to Dublin. Lord Balfour of
Burleigh is named for the war
office, and Mr. Richie for the admiralty. Mr. Wyndham and Mr.
Brodrick are promoted to the cabinet. Each day produces a new
combination from the friends of
ambitious or restless statesmen.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2ftth, 1900.
KDITOltlAI.   CltOl'lMNOS.
In light of recent devclopments.the
cry of "Turn the rascals out," is especially applicable to thc Canadian
Senate.	
Socialism seeks to preserve to mankind the natural products and advantages of thc earth.    It opposes
monopolies.
Workingnieii sliould ever carry
this principle Into practice! He just
to all men, particularly to yourselves.
Yon have a candidate from your own
class, standing in your defence add
lighting for your cans;', Rally to his
support and help on the wheels of
progress.
The Independents arc vigorously
working throughout the riding, active missionary work being especially
carried on at tho mines. Foley's
majority will, it is admitted by nil,
lie a record-breaker in thc Slocan.
Ro strong is his cause, that no attempt
nt organization has been made by
his opponents, which is, in itself, an
.admission of defeat for them.
It were folly to credit thc present
Liberal government with thc monopoly of friendly acts and feeling toward Labor. The Conservatives would
have done as much were they as
favorably situated. The govern
•nenCs actions arc but reluctant testimony to the growth of the Independent Labor Party. Send Chris Foley
to Ottawa and he will assist Ralph
Smith in reminding the dominant
party of their duty to the "poor laborer."
A Severn blow has been dealt the
Liberal party by the strong public
protests of L. If. Cook, cx-M.P., and
thc Vancouver Liberal Association.
Thc former accuses his party of being false to their platform, and al
leges that he was asked to pay *?10,-
000 for a senatorship. The Vancouver men assort the government has
failed in its promises to British Columbia, especially in regard to the
Mongolians. If their own friends
condemn them, then why should Labor be asked to support Lnurier's
party ? Labor can best serve itself
by electing its own candidates.
Labor is content to take one onward step at a lime. Man's existence
is a struggle at the best of times, and
any reform calculated to benefit him
in any way has been achieved only
through seasons of struggle and trial.
In this province a breathing spell is
permitted after the victory of the
eight hour law, but the struggle is
to be waged anew for compulsorj
arbitration. Prizes hardly won are
thc more highly esteemed, and arbitration will come in due time. Tho
evolutionary process now taking
place In British Columbia will ultimately result in a condition of affairs
strongly akin to that prevailing in
New Zealand—no strikes, no tramps,
and business stability.
England is the birthplace of responsible government by the people, and
all nations have honored that "right,
tight little island" by adopting its
principle of parliament. Canada Is
one of these, but how Car short of the
ideal it has conic is seen in lhe make
up of the Senate today. We have no
hereditary aristocracy, so tbo upper
'chamber, instead of being made elective by tlie people as il should have
properly been, has been made the
mere tool of the dominant party in
power, which has filled thc soft seats
of the Ben ate with friends of iis own
for political gain and effect. Ho***
debasing this proceedure has become
is seen in the statement of II. II.
Cook, of Toronto, who, if he had pill
up a purchase price til $10,000, could
have obtained one of tliodovoted sen
ntorial positions. Shame upon n
party that would permit of such a
scandal, and thrice shame upon 0
people that would submit to such machine politics, it la high time for our
people to act for themselves,
promises to be a swell affair.   The
attendance of outsiders will be large.
Jimmy Kodgers was showing some
big potatoes here Friday. They
came from A. G. Watson's ranch
down the river, and seven of them
weighed 11 pounds.
Last week's business nt thc depot
was the. heaviest in the history ofthe
town. Among other items no less
than 10 ears of general height was
received for local merchants.
The sensation of tho week has been
the arrest in Nelson of Ernest Mansfield, on account of wages duo the
workmen at ('amp Mansfield, He
spent several days in the provincial
gaol ore thc necessary funds arrived
from France.
Officer Browning has been given
warrants, by thc Arlington people,
for two recently discharged employes
who arc charged with putting caps in
the blacksmith forge at the mine on
Tuesday. The caps went off, jarring
up a couple of workmen. The men
arc supposed to be in Nelson.
