-iturraril Hlootlon Sanu, liny.
The date for the election in this
constituency has been definitely set
tied at lust. A proclamation has
been issued by Returning Officer
MoDonald—a copy of which is posted
up at the postoflice—fixing nomina
tions for Monday next, Nov. lit, at
Revelstoke, and the election on Dec.
fl. That is the same date as in the
Burrard constituency. Thu extreme
limit ofthe law has been reached, as
it calls for holding tlio deferred elections in 80 days from the general
contest. The polling stations in this
vicinity are Slocan Junction, Slocan,
Silverton and Now Denver. All voters registered under the provincial
law may vote at any polling booth
within the provincial riding wherein
thoy are registered. It. A. Bradshaw
will have charge of the polling booth
here, as on former occasions.
Since the dcflnlto date of the elections wns announced, jiolitics have
been warming up somewhat and a
keener interest in the probable result
is being evinced. Through this section the Independents are working
unceasingly, while their opponents
are passive. The vast majority of
thc voters through the Slocan favor
Chris Foley, and his lead will be
large. In this town it is confidently
expected he will have at least 05 of
a majority and the indications point
to the vote of the place becoming almost unanimous for him. Among
the mines the Independents are carrying on an active campaign, while
in town many of the business men
announce themselves as favoring Foley. Candid te Galliher's meeting
here on Thursday won him no votes,
but rather turned the tide more
strongly in fitvor of the Independents.
Throughout the riding thc most encouraging progress is belli,.' shown
hy Foley, and his chances for election are daily growing brighter.
There is a tendency in some quarters
to array capital against Labor, but if
that issue is raised, it will make Foley's election a walk over.

S. S. Fowler, engineer of the London & B. C. Goldflelds,which controls
the Enterprise mine, on Ten Mile,
is at present In England. In n re
cent interview in England Mr. Fowler
said: "There is  very   little  to siy
rom this and the former shipment,
and the figures wore 209.40 oz to the
ton. Altogether the last shipment
netted $1188,86,' which speaks eloquently for thc richness of the property. By a mistake in the marking
nt the mine, seven sacks of low grade
mineral was mixed with the high
grade ore, considerably lowering the
average of the latter, which should
have been about710 oz. The figures
on the Hampton ore hold the record
Iq the camp.

THF CHIN-FSB  PUZZLE.
Sir Robert Hart's statement recently made that the trouble in
China is only just commencing
seems unfortunately true. The latest cable from English correspondents on the spot state that the empress dowager will never consent to
the executions demanded by tbe
powers and that it is equally vain
to expect any moderations in the
forcible demands made by the allied
powers. The Chinese court are reported as preparing for further
light far inland to the province of
Szechinen, where with an imperial
army of 14,000 men they will bid
defiance to Furope. In the meantime Russia is seizing large slices of
territory and these are unfailing
signs of a good sized row between
tbe allies all round.

which]already has a force there is

Lord Bolierl** He port
London, Nov. 10.—Lord Roberts gives an interesting report to
the war ofliee.    He says:
"Gen. Knox states that he takes
no credit for the very successful en
gagement of Nov. G which was
due, in the first instance, to the
determination of Legallais never
to lose touch with the enemy.
Affain, secondly, to the able way
in which Delisle handled the firing
line after Legallais an Ross were
wounded.
Smith Dorrien reports that two
days fighting mentioned was very-
hard. His force consisted of 250
mounted troops from the mounted
troops from the Fifth Lancers, the
Royal Canadian and Dragoons and
mounted rifles, two Royal Canadian artille-y guns, four guns ofthe
Fight-Fourth battery and infantry
of Suffolks and Shropshires.
Our casualties the first day were
six killed and twenty wounded,
chiefly Shropshires. who fought
splendidly.
The next day the Boers tried to
seize the strong position on the
banks of the Kamoti, from which
they were beaten out Nov. (>, but
were prevented by Col. Evans, the
Canadian mounted troops and two
of tbe Eighty-Fourth gun galloping two miles, and seizing it in the
nick of time. The rear on the return march were defended by Col.
Lesand with the Canadian dragoons
and thc Royal Canadian guns undei
Lieutenant Morrisey. Smith Dor
rien says no praise can be lo high
for the devoted gallantry these
troops showed in* keeping oft' the
enemy from the infantry conveys.
In the afternoon an event unprecedented in this war occured when
some 200 mounted Boers suddenly
charged Ihe raar guard to within
seventy yards, when they were
stopped by the Canadian dragoons.
During the fight id of the Canadians
fell into the hands of the enemy,
who treated them kindly and released them after removing their own
dead and wounded, during which
operation the Canadians were compelled to lie on their faces in order
that they might not see how heavily Ihe Boers had suffered. Our
casualties were two killed and
twelve   wounded.

the name of T. Chase Casgrain,

to Sir Charles Tupper. Mr. Casgrain is one of the most pleasing
personalties among French Canadian politicians and a fluent speaker in both languages. The object of his selection would of course
be with the view to offset Laurier's
influence in Quebec. Mr. Casgrain is a member of a big legal
firm inthis city.
Dual  Lt-ademhip
Toronto,-Nov. 13. — It looks as
though the announcement of Sir

says that no official communication has been received from Sir
Charles and tbe cpaestion ot discussing his successor is therefore
premature.
He assumes that Sir Charles
Tupper would wait until he met his
supporters at Ottawa and submitted the question of retirement to
them before announcing his withdrawal.
In local political circles it has
been suggested that in the present
emergency, a dual leadership for
the dominion may prove the salvation of the Conservative party and
a precedent such as the MacDon-
ald-Cartier combination is regarded
as satisfactory. The names coupled
with that combination are those of
Hon. T. Casgrain (French Canadian) from Quebec, and R. L. Borden, iFnglish speaking) from Halifax.

"Rundle reports skirmishes with

IDLF MINING CLAIMS.
Round about Rossland and other
mining centers in the Kootenay lie
many hundred duly staked out,
practically idle, mining claims.
Some of these have been stocked
and crown gtanted in past years,
but have remained unworked ever
since and the shares have been scattered all over the continent, the
holders patiently waiting for something to turn up. Assessment work
is done annually in a peilunctory
way upon others, but in a vast majority of cases the claims are restaked by their owners when they
run out.
During the time he was provincial
mineralogist Mr, Carlyle pointed
out the effect of the law in the three
cases mentioned and suggested a
change. He advocated practically
a continuous working of claims
within a reasonable limit and, in default, forfeiture to the government.
The claims so reverting to'be sold
by public auction annually. The
provincial house recently passed an
act by which defaulting partners in
mining claims, who do not pay
their share of current expenses may
hi advertised out, but this only
touches on the edge of the question. Under the law relating to
placer claims provision is made to
open unworked ground for location
by any other than the original locator. If some means could be devised
which would not act too harshly
upon discoveries ot real merit where
the owner is without means to develop his find, which would either
induce the owners to work their
properties or, in default, bring them
into the open market and allow
others to go on with the work,
Rossland camp and the whole district would be immensely the gainer.

THE CARLISTS.
A member of the Carlist committee, now in Washington, says
the Carlist uprising]*>eported so
extensively from Spain during the
last few days is not a Carlist uprising at all, but merely an outbreak of socialism and anarchy.
The gentleman bas been a member
of the Carlist committee for the
last sixteen years and is booked
for a high place under the government in case Don Carlos succeeds
in overthrowing the present Spanish throne and setting himself up.
He says their are no Carlists in
in Southern Spain, where the present disturbance has chiefly taken
place. There are a lot of men
there who call themselves Carlists.
but thev never have been recognized as such. They are merely disturbers of tbe peace and are against
all forms of government. The real
Carlist all cU'ell in Northern_Spain,
where they have a splendid organization and abundant arms and ammunition, Within the last twenty
months sixty thousand Mauser
rifles have been taken to northern
Spain by Carlists. These guns
were bought in Germany and paid
tor by Don Carlos himself, who
is an immensely wealthy man.
'fhe real Carlist uprising will
not come before next spring, probably starting in Match. Don
Carlos promises his followers that
he will take tbe field then and lead
them. They, however, have little
faith in him and are now actively
trying to get him to renounce^his
rights to the Spanish throne in la-
vor4of his son, Don |Jaime, who is
in Russia and is a fighter. Carlos'
princess also favors this plan, believing her son better fitted than
his father to lead Ihe revolt to a
successful conclusion.
The latest alleged Carlist uprisings have been by hands ol
eighty or a hundred men, but when
the genuine uprising starts next
spring the smallest army will consist of 10,000 men, and that number can be put into the field at any
time in three days notice.

Toronto'* tia« Plant,
Toronto, Nov. 0.*—A iroticn was
made before the board of control

the same for the benefit of the citizens. The value of the plant and
real estate is estimated at $2,-
500,000.
Between tile Two Countries
New Vork, Nov. 9,—As a result
of the continuance in power of President McKinley and Sir Wilfrid
Laurier it is expected that another
attempt will shortly be made to
bring about a complete settlement
of the questions in dispute with
Canada. Officials of the administration say that the president and
Secretary Hay would be glad to
have the epiestions disposed of, but
it is felt here that Canada should
make the preliminary move looking
to their reconsideration. The Alaskan boundary line has been only
tcmporaril) determined, but tbe
president would prefer that it be
finally and forever fixed,
Special Reciprocity Commissioner
Kasson is extremely anxious to negotiate a reciprocity treaty with
tireat Britain relating to Canada,
because such a treaty will settle
many points affecting thc products
ol the two countries, and will be
mutually beneficial.
The fisheries question is also likely to be a source of trouble, and it
is deemed important that it should
be terminated in a manner satisfactory to both nations.
Officials of the navy are especially desirous that the two countries
shall determine the size of the naval
force each will maintain on the
great lakes. Several years ago
congress authorized the construction of a gunboat for the lakes, and
tbe board of construction prepared
the design for the vessel. Pending the modification of the Rush-
Bagot agreement of 1818, the president desired that the contract tor
the vessel be not awarded.
With the close ol the elections
the excitement attending the getting out of a newspaper in the quiet
town of Nelson will not be over by
a long shot. The Economist has
something pointed to say to the
Miner quill pusher, and the Miner
man says he has not written himself
out on the subject by any means.
The fighting editor of the Tribune
has consented to act as master of
ceremony, hold coats, pass bricks
for both parties, secure medical attendance for the victor and help to
bury the vanquished. We are,
with others, eagerly awaiting the
announcement as to the exact date
of this contest before placing our
bets on the result.     Silverloniau.

New Vork, Nov. 9.—The operations to crush thc Tegal rebellion,
which are about to be begun and
prosecuted with extreme energy,
are to be of a thoroughly comprehensive character, the plan of campaign having been prepaied by
General McArthur last month after
a council of officers. The plan bas
received the unqualified approval
of the war department without
material modifications. It ^involves
extensive naval co-operation, including all the regular warships of
the station as well as the numerous
gnu boats, purchased from the
Spanish, which are to be distributed in flotillas, each with a larger
one as a llagship. Admiral Remey
is on the tlagship Brooklyn and has
just returned trom China to Manila
to assume person.;l charge of the
operation afloat, which Admiral
KemplT in the Newark, already at
Cavite, has been mapping oul in
conjunction with General McArthur.
The Chinese seem to have
studied out a very ingenious scheme
to make the foreign powers practically pay their own indemnitee in
the shape ot increased import duties. For ways lhat are dark and
lor tricks that are vain the hcathei n
Chinee is still  peculiar.

of the papers declare that Mr. McKinley's triumph following the victory of imperialism in Great Brit

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10th, 1900.
KIHTOIIIAI.   UKOFIMNUH.
Work for Foley.
One of the old parties has been disposed of, and now it remains for the
Independents to polish off the other
in this constituency at an early date.
Candidate (ialllher was pleased
with his reception here, but admitted
the meeting was Candidate Foley's.
So were his other meetings up tho
Jake.
Candidate   (lulliher    showed   his
".friendship" for tho Labor enuc by
aefueing to endorse a single plank of
their platform when it was presented
.-to him on Thursday night.
The Liberals showed their friend-
ship for Labor by nominating candidates in opposition to tlie Independents in Toronto, London, Winnipeg,
Vancouver and Yale-Cariboo.
Neither Candidate MacNeil nor
Candidate Galliher have a word to
say against Candidate Foley and his
platform. Unable to condemn it.and
not willing to endorse it, how can
they expect the support of the working man!	
Candidate Foley's platform is
above reproach, for neither Grit nor
Tory can bo found to condemn it.
They tacitly admit its strength and
justice, bnt because of party ism are
•loth to support It and its advocate,
Chris Foley. By their actions they
also admit tbe weakness of their own
cause. Consistency, thy name is not
Grit, neither is it Tory.
Candidate Galliher says Candidate
Foley, if elected (as if there was any
doubt on tbat score), would be isolated in Parliament. Where does Ralph
Smith and A. W. Puttee come in?
Were Galliher elected, be wonld be a
mere tool in the hands of those who
now have too large a majority. Foley is no bump on a log, as tbe Grits
will find when he goes to Ottawa,
Laurier shows his appreciation of
British Columbia Labor by awarding
.to Quebec henchmen the contract for
'imlldlng the drill hall at Vancouver
and the postoflice at New Westminster. These contractors import
French laborers to work on the
-buildings. Frenchmen' have been
.brought in to operate tbe government
vessels on the coast, and Frenchmen
have been brought in to construct
the government telegraph line
through the Cariboo country. What
a slur upon thc ability of local mon.
The Liberals, by their franchise
act of 1898, have given tlie right to
vote to a horde of ignorant Japs and
•Chinese. These creatures have be-
'come naturalized largely through
fraud. They are ousting the white
man from many branches of labor,
.and are sending their earnings out of
•the country. They have no claim
upon the country and yet they are
given tho franchise. On the other
band, we have thousands of Indians
in the Dominion who have a claim
upon the country as natives and natural Iwrn British subjects, yet they
are refused the franchise because of
.their alleged ignorance. Whatsoever
money they earn is spent in the land
'.wherein they live, and they interfere
but little with thc white toiler. And,
to their credit be it said, they seldom
figure in the calendar of crime. Is it
■consistent of the Liberals to give thc
franchise to the Mongol and refuse it
to the Indian ? Is there any differ-
•enc-e in the status of intelligence be
tween the two? The reason of it all
may easily be learned from the machinations of the cannery and lumbering monopolists on the coast.
Wherein has Labor benefitted by the
law in question. Candidate Galliher
himself condemned this rotten legislation while herc,and yet he asks the
•wo'1-ing.wen to support tho Libera
party,   if it'.
