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. Krgardlnc the KnUrprls*. 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.

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. A Canadian contingent for China following the example of Australia which]already has a force there is probably the next'stepso far as the Dominion is concerned. A jury of twelve wise men and true al Woodstock, Out., has placed a valuation of $1.00 upon the feminine heart, such being the award of damages in the D?each of promise action of Elstone vs. King. As the plaintiff is upwards of 70 yeats of age, it is presumable that the goods were considered shopworn. 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. Ill Willi Fever. Capetown, Nov. 12,—Gen. Baden Powe|l, is ill with enlric fever. His condition is not serious.

Montreal, Nov. 10.—As wired in these dispatches* last ^evening, the name of T. Chase Casgrain, M. P. for Montmorency, is another name|mentioned as a likely successor 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 Charles TupperV'retirement from the leadership of the Conservative party is somewhat premature. Hon. John Haggart, chairman of of the Ontario Conservative union, 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. lu Mouth Alrl.a London, Nov. 13. — 1'nder date of Johannesburg Nov. 12, Lord Roberts telegraphs tbe war ollice as follows: "Rundle reports skirmishes with small parties of Boers in thc Harri- smith, Reit/ and Vrede districts recently. The commandos appear to be acting independently and with no bject except to give as much annoyance as possible to the British. Our casualties in these skirmishes were two killed and seven wounded. Douglas arrived at Venlersdorp on November 11 from Zerust, capturing during the march twenty-one prisoners and a quantity ot cattle and sheep.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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'. DRILL POINTS. W. S.
