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. »ue« lor IMvone.

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.

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.

The tonnage at present was very fair and constantly on the in- crease.

The first poll of the committees in Nelson gives these fig. ures for tlie electors of that city, MacNeill, Conservative, 336; lial- liher, Liberal, 280; Foley, Independent Labor, 210. The Chenoweth murder case was opened at the assizes yesterday at- ternoon at the conclusion ot the 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** prisoner, whose head barely reaches to the top of the prisoner's box, coupled with the gravity oi the alleged offense, makes the trial unique in the annals of Kootena) courts,and the case is not paralleled In lhe recent history of Canadian justice. Chenowctb is hardly eight years of age. Had the lad been under seven years he could not have been tried for murder, but between the ages of seven and fourteen years the law holds a boy responsible lor crime provided it can demonstrated that the defendant is capable of realizing the nature of the offense he commits and theconscquenceswhn.li may arise therefrom. At yesterday's sitting the fact ol the Chinaman's death was established and medical evidence submitted as to the cause of death. fhe physicians called could not determine whether the deadly build was fired from within or without the room in which the body was found. It was also brought out that on the day previous to thc murder two suspicious looking Chinamen were seen about tbe Chenowctb bouse, THE TWO POWERS 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. Oom Paul Leaves Africa The Gelderland Sails for Europe with Kruger Aboard* Lorenzo Marques, Oct. 20.—The Dutch cruiser Gelderland, with Ex- 1'resident Kruger on board, sailed at noon today.

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 Imprisonment for Lifetime Verdict of the Jury in the Goebel Shooting Case. (By Associated Pre**.)

THANKSGIVING DAV. In acknowledgment ofthe bounties and blessings bestowed upon the people of the Dominion of Canada, the governor general has, by proclamation, designated Thursday, October 18, as a day tor thanksgiving. Its observance was noted by a general cessation from business, and all banks and public institutions were closed. Perhaps nowhere, more than in British Columbia, does it seem fit. 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 which they enjoy and in gratitude to Him who has spared to her loyal subjects our beloved Sovereign Majesty, Queen Victoria. God save the Queen. OOUrt atJNelaou The case of Regina vs. Albi was before Mr. Justice Walkem in Nelson today, but no result had been reached up to the time of going to press.

Funeral service over the remains will be held in this city and at Mansfield, Ohio. |ohn Sherman was bom in Lancaster, Ohio, May 10, 1S23. In 1844 he was admitted to the bar. He was elected to congress where he took his seat December 3, 1855. He was president of the first republican convention in Ohio. Mr. Sherman was a United States senator from 1841 to 1877, and again from 1881 to 1897. The author of many important laws, he had long been known as a famous statesman. In 181,6 President McKinley appointed him secretary of state, hut soon alter taking up the portfolio ill health compelled him to resign. \ l'ark Tragedy Buffalo, N. V., Oct. 22.—A special to the News from„Corry, Pa., says: "A horrible murder and suicide occurred here early this morning. About one o'clock two shots were heard in the park.

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, you will never see us again." A letter was found on Mr. Bettis addressed to his mother, the contents of which are yet unknown.

IN NEW YORK JAIL Rossland Defaulter Caught - Will be Extradited THE SON OF A MILLIONAIRE Fred Yuengllng, Defaulter, Arretted at the Instance ol Lion Brewing Co. Rossland Rossland, B, C, October 22.— Ered Vuengling, who left several mementos in Rossland when he hurriedly departed as manager of the brewery, has been brought up with a sharp turn. He will be extradited and returned to British Columbia on the charge of embezzlement. Vuengling went it thick and fast while here, and when he departed^he borrowed right and left and jssued~checksVhich have been framed. Of hiirf^the New Vork World says: "One more checker has been added to Ered Vuengling's already checkered career. Hero of the tenderloin and son of the millionaire brewer, he nevertheless spent last night iu Ludlow street jail. He was locked up there yesterday morning accused of embezzling $387 in July of last year. His accusers are the Lion Brewing company, of Rossland, British Columbia. "The young man bobbed up in New Vork a week ago after four years absence from town. An irate father was to blame for his sudden 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."

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.

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.
