Ottawa, J une 16.���Somewhat better progress has been made-this week with the serious business of the session, but if on the one hand the legislation on the order paper has"been'-put-forward .a few. stages, other matters have developed which give every indication of lengthening out considerably a session which has already fully run the average length. The principal item under this latter head which has materialized this week has been the charge made by .Mr. Monk of Jacques Cartter against the militia department of purchasing worthless emergency rations for the South African contingents, to which reference was made last week. When the worthy member first launched his tirade against the minister of militia; he; was evidently not prepared for the very prompt manner in which he was taken up by the government, and promised his committee of inquiry if only he would lay before the house something definite to inquire into. MODIFYING klS CHARGES. So specific, was the challenge that Mr. Monk had no alternative but to accept itf and in due course his indictment was presented; It was at once seen that'the honorable member had mostymateriaUy^. niodified.=v;his .accur sations, for instead of fraud, malfeasance of office and .sundry other high crimes and misdemeanors,.which were either definitely charged or broadly insinuated in his first harangue to the house, the most serious accusation that he dared definitely make against the minister - was one, of "gross and culpable negligence." But this is serious enough, of course, and the government, after a frank and convincing statement by the minister, which puts the affair in such a position that the opposition is now getting little comfort out of it, promptly implemented their promise of a committee of investigation. The. opposition now has one more chance to squander public time and money in a wild-goose chase aftel an election cry. Their success at this sport has not been strikingly manifested in the past; it remains to be seen what luck awaits them this time. ^^_.iSNsro)_"7Bisi^^ The ingenuity of oppositionists is elected by a majority twice as large as the biggest majority ever obtained by a Tory in that riding, and thirteen times greater than . that secured by his predecessor over the same opponents two months ago. These are a couple of samples of the nonsense which is being talked about government disintegration. It is to be feared that thc Tories themselves are not getting much comfort out of signs no more convincing than these. Another writer,���a fairly representative sample of his tribe,���incautiously remarked before the election last week in British Columbia that "Joe Martin declares he will have no Laurier in his," and that "Mclnnes of British Columbia has shaken the dust of Ottawa off his feet." In view of the fact that Premier Martin has been so emphatically repudiated by the electors of British Columbia and that Mr. W. W. B. Mclnnes found it necessary to very emphatically assure'the electors that he was not a Martinite to secure his election, it may uot be unreasonable to ask for a clearer explanation of how the British Columbia local election is a condemnation of therLaurier administration ?

VICT9R1A B.C being severely taxed these days to discover those signs of disintegration in the ranks of the liberal party which are being so earnestly hoped for, but which so obstinately refuse to manifest themselves. Because half a dozen or so supporters of the government in the present House of Commons have intimated their intention of retiring when their present term expires, we hear the old familiar cry that "the Grits are on the run." A typical sample of this is the case of Mr. Speaker Bain, who has, it is well known, been anxious to retire from public life for some years past, and who is now unhappily compelled by failing health to carry that desire into effect; but even his twenty-eight years of faithful service, during which his political conduct has never once been called into question even by his most bitter opponents, does not protect him from the miserable insinuations of small politicians. So, too, the intimation that the minister of customs may not offer himself for re-election in North Grey, is taken as an indication that he fears the result of a contest there; whereas IT IS PERFECTLY WEM, KNOWN By every man who makes any pretense of being informed of the facts that Mr. Paterson only sought the suffrages bf the electors, of North Grey because the constituency happened to fall vacant by tbe death of the sitting member at the time of his entering the government, and he was then Great Commoner Makes Some Pertinent Observations. London, June 20.���Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, addressing a meeting of the Women's Liberal Unionist Association, said the colonies tia-d seen through the haze of the South African anti-bellum negotiations when Sir Henry Campbell-Ban- nerman, the Liberal leader of the house of commons, and others were mystified. Now that the war was concluding, he "added, all were unanimous that whatever the final settlement may be, it must be final, and should not leave .behind it the seeds of further mischief, and make a repetition of ' the trouble possifeiiJ?^ The opposition wanted to know when a general electionwould be called:* ''"He was unable to gratify their natural curiosity,' but whether the election took place tomorrow, or was postponed indefinitely, it would be one of the most momentous presented to the people of the United Kingdom during a. century, involving, as it did, the question of the future of South Africa and the future" of the empire.' Referring to cdntinen tal criticism, Mr. Chamberlain, after remarking that England always expected this, went on to say: "But there are quarters whence even a note of disapproval would be a matter of serious concern. I refer to pur colonies and the United States. I think we are happy in that we have their good opinion and approval. It is true this good opinion of the United States is not unmixed with other sentiments. I will not now enter upon the causes, partly political and partly sentimental, which have led certain Americans to sympathize with wh^V~tlieyncairarepublic7 although" its whole existence and practice has been one perpetual denial of the principles upon which tlieir own great republic is founded. I believe the great majority of the Americans recognize that our claims in this war are as high and unselfish as those which Animated themselves in the Spanish-American struggle. They fought them for justice and liberty, not for their own subjects, but for those whom they believed to be the victims of oppression, and we did not enter into quizzical disquisitions or technical discussions, but recognized that they were carrying out as Anglo-Saxons a great work of civilization and humanity. Now we are asking their sympathy, and we believe that in the long run we shall get in the final seal of their approval." London, June 20.���Several thousand Russians are now under the vails of Peking with artillery. The attack is being made on two sides, in order to divert the attack of the Chinese on the foreign legations. On June 16th, the Chinese troops commanded by Tung Ching, fired five European buildings. Rumors that all foreigners were killed are unconfirmed. Admiral Seymour's column is now on an arid plain, without food or good waterj and surrounded bv hostile forces. A United States transport with 1,200 troops from Manilla landed at Taku. Admiral Kernpf with an effective fleet of gun-boats is enroute for Tien Tsin. The ninth infantry has sailed from Manilla to China. The Russian government declares her movement is only to assist other governments in the defense of common interests. The attitude of apan is equally conservative. The British flag is reported. visible at the south gate of Peking and is presumed to indicate the arrival of Seymour. The* summoning'of Li Hung Chang to Peking is regarded as a change of front on the part of the Manchus op- * posing foreign powers. The Boxer movement is however spreading all over China. London, June. 20.���The war office publishes a long list of casualties hitherto not reported, from engagement with the Boers. The wires are cut to the rear and there have been no advices from Lord Roberts since June 16th. The Boers are gathering in force nearFricksburg underDevilliers. They are trying to break Rundel's lines which extend forty miles. Roberts is arranging for the retraasportation of part of the army. _C. P. R.TELEGRAPR. R. E. Gosnell, having been called away to the Coast on business, has requested E. Jacobs to act in his stead in collecting specimens of Boundary district ores for inclusion in the display the Provincial government intend making at the Winnipeg Exhibition, to be held shortly. Mr. Jacobs will be glad to receive from mine managers and others interested three or four specimens, not to exceed two pounds each in weight, from the different mines in the district. These maybe addressed to him and left at The Times office or Imperial Hotel, Greenwood. It is desirable that name of mine and of company owning it, depth from which ore came, width of ore body and average assay value accompany each lot of specimens. The upper story of the Naden-Flood block is being brought out flush with the street, the work being in charge of Smith Bros. & Travis. Company's Officials Pay The City a Visit- Jas. Kent, general manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway company, Montreal, and his son, C, S. Jenkins, general superintendent, Winnipeg, Jas. Wilson, superintendent for. the Pacific Coast, A. A. Goodehill and George Hodge, Montreal, were a party of telegraph and railway officials who arrived by last evenings regular train and registered at the Armstrong. Mr. Kent was making his first visit to Greenwood and was astonished at the size and importance of the city. The party left by today's train and will return home via the Crows Nest railway. Yesterday Thos. Skinner one of thc English directors of the C. P. R. and R. Marpole the Pacific Coast superintendent were in the city. Yesterday, the men at thc Old Iron sides engaged in stoping, were temporarily laid off, simply because the bunkers are full and there is uo place to put the ore. There is now 8,000 tons in the bunkers and at least double that amount stoped out in the mine. Shipping will begin early next week and as soon as the present overflow is met, work will be resumed. J. Lukov, the Copper street merchant, collected S10.10 among his immediate friends for the India Famine Relief Fund and forwarded the same to James Crosby Brown, the treasurer, in Now Yfork. As the cause is a most worthy ''one, others should follow Mr. Lukov's example. m -j y*> THE GREENWOOD WEEKLY TIMES. ftt^iiiiiSiimxmxfmitm^y meekly Csrsies. PUBLISHED BY The Greenwood Times Printing and PuWishlng Company, Limited. ��������� Duncan Ross ' _ Editor. SATURDAY, JUNE 23/1900, GIVE THEM A CHANCE Two years ago the people of British Columbia said they were tired of Turner and they turned him out. Iu the turning, Semlin was turned in. The most striking feature about Semlin and his party was that they were opposed to Turnerism. Their political strength was of a negative order and they soon became the prey of one Joseph Martin who had positive and personal strength. The political whirl- a-gig brought Joe out on top. Now when the people turned out Turner they did not expect to have Joe Martin on their hands and when they got an opportunity they turned down not only Joe Martin, but fairly wiped out of existence Mr. Semlin's party because tliey made little use of the opportunity given them in 1898. When the people have to make so many changes iu so short a time and there is not a wender- ful variety to choose from, it is not strange that Turner should be thrown to the top. He does not appear as star in the company this_ time but he has given to the play what little reputation it possesses and he is better known than his leader. We think that the leaders of the present government must realize the fact ' that their own virtues did not place them in power. They are creatures of fortune who have profited by the vices of Joseph Martin. They have no mandate from the people in regard to ques- ��� tions of public policy nor have they a certificate of public confidence in their ability to give this Province a wise and progressive administration. They are an experiment���something to fill the gap. Their success must depend upon their own efforts. There is not a member'of the government but what is personally honest and who has the best interests of the Province at heart, but if the government does not wish to run up against public opinion they will steer clear of what is commonly known as Turnerism. They will remember,; that Victoria is not the only city in the Province and that Vancouver Island is not the whole Province; they will no longer allow a public office to be regarded as a private snap; they will give land-grabbers and charter-mongers a wide berth; they will realize that it is more profitable from a political, as well as fro.m a public, point of view to encourage the development, of the Province by the judicious expenditure of money where it is needed rather than throw away the public funds in building roads io every f arm.house in the rural districts t on the Coast; they will be wise to appreciate the danger of. continuing to disfranchise populous mining districts ���while a mere handful of farmers return two representatives, and. they will. take advantage of the very earliest ol>]wtunity~to^^ that has been done districts like Boundary. ' The resurrected Turner party comes into power with the distinct advantage of having some acquaintance with the errors and vices of Turner, the "tin- regenerate, and they are thus able to avoid those things which brought down the retribution of an angry electorate. The people are tired of politics and will be willing to give the government a chance, but they have written large, "Remember Turner! and Semlin! and Cotton!' and Martin!" And the fate which befell the politicians in the past few years should serve as a warning to those who find themselves entrusted with the administration of Provincial affairs. PUBLISHING A DAILY. column to.a six-c6lumn paper, is still in the field, and intends to remain there, believing, as do all the other business institutions in the city, that the depression is only temporary and that in a short time there will be a decided change for the better. The publication of a daily when Conditions were not as favorable as were confidently looked for has been rendered possible by a generous support of the Greenwood business men. .On the olher hand there are business men who fully appreciate the value of a daily paper to the city and have nothing but words of encouragement for the publishers but who do'their advertising in outside newspapers and get their job work done elsewhere. There are business men who" say they cannot afford to advertise but they are taken in for every fake advertising sc'.ieme that comes along and are generally the victims of cvery'agent for an outside newspaper. A public interest attaches to the publication of a newspaper. A daily- paper retlecta the character anci stat- ibility of a town. The merits of the paper are generally dependent upon the support it receives. A city of live enterprising business men liberally patronizes the home paper, fills its advertising pages and enables the publishers to improve it from time to time. By working together they can advertise the stability of theeity bv making, a healthy looking daily. By expending their money on. outside newspapers they can starve out a home paper arid tell the outside world that their city is not progressive enough to support a newspaper. Business nieii very properly complain when money that should be expended with them goes into the coffers of Timothy Eaton or some other outsider who has clone nothing to build up Greenwood. A newspaper has a similar right to complain when it finds that preference is given to outside newspapers. There are times in -the history of a city when the disadvantages of depression can be materially lessened by a proper exhibition of local patriotism. By a determination to do everything that will promote the city's interest and maintain its standing, the citizens can succeed in tiding over a few months of hard times. coal miners on the Island will be satisfactorily settled so long as the head of one rival company is also the leader of the government. Out of the political quagmire Turn- eeism has been resurrected. It is laborr ing under the distinct disadvantage of having. Dunsmuir for its sponser. Do we see in Joe Martin's recommendation to the governor the genius of a Machevelli ? Of all the men returned on Saturday there is not one who would not give greater satisfaction and less material for the machinations, of the demagogue. Dunsmuir as premier will divide the electors as no other man could. He is an Island man; all his interests are on Vancouver Island -and rightly or wrongly the sectional cry will break out-afresh. Rightly dr wrongly he is considered an enemy of the labor interests and a glorious opportunity will be afforded the political charlatan to trade upon the prejudices of the laboring classes and weaken their position by dividing their strength. The interior, which is now the most important part of the Province, turned down Turner and it will not be wedded to Dunsmuir. The lieutenant-governor has again chosen a man who does not represent .public opinion in this Province. THE SITUATION IN BRITISH -COLUMBIA. THE NEW PREMIER. The publication of a daily in a small ���city generally proves more profitable to the cily than it does to the publishers. The difficulty in.niaking both, ends meet in publishing a daily paper does not arise because the field is too limited, but rather .because people do not properly appreciate a home paper avid spend on outside newspapers what the local paper could justly expect. Already the Graud Forks Daily Gazette has ceased publication, because the publishers believed they had contributed sufficiently to the public interest at a loss to themselves. The Republic Miner has changed owners since it first appeared as a daily, and has been considerably reduced in size with a view to making the paper pay. On the other hand, the Greenwood Times has been enlarged from a five- Lieutenant-Governor Mclnnes has made another mistake. He staked his official life on the result of the general election and lost; consequently he should have insisted on Martin's remaining in office until he (Mclnnes) resigned and his successor was- appointed. The verdict of the people on Saturday last was that Mclnnes could not be entrusted with the task of choosing men to lead the government of the Province, and he should have heeded this verdict and deferred action until the appointment of his successor. A man occupying Mr. Dunsmuir's position is often not half as bad as he is painted. Personally Mr. Dunsmuir is a most estimable gentleman, but the very fact that he is the head of a* gigantic corporation like R. Dunsmuir & Sons makes*; him an unsuitable and djuigerous man to have as premier of this Province. Mr7DTTns1nu}f;is largely interested in the E. & N. Railway that carries an enormous land grant; he is head of several coal companies that employ thousands of men. His coal companies are quarrelling with a rival and powerful coal company, and the Province is directly interested, as titles to valuable coal areas are in dispute. " No matt ;r how well fitted Mr. D.ms- muir may be for the position, and even his qualifications are a matter of grave doubt, his interests are so large and so likely to clash with those of the Province, that we believe he should not even be a member of the legislature let alone the leader of it. The same principle holds good in reference to federal politics. It is detrimental to the best interests of the country to have a gigantic corporation like the Canadian Pacific Railway company represented in the Commons and Senate by several men who are mouthpieces of the railway company. Most people, will agree that there are times when the public interest and those of big corporations clash, and the public interest is often sacrificed because in what is supposed to be the people's parliament are found the company's representatives. ��� There is certain legislation which the people insist upon having and which because of his heavy personal interests Mr. Dunsmuir is likely to oppose. He has already declared his opposition to the eight-hour daw; it is scarcely likely that he will favor legislation looking towards the restriction of cheap coolie labor nor is it probable that questions of vital interests to the THE CABINET. As was predicted, the old Turner party is on Lop, and already two mem. bers*.of the Turner government have been called by Hon. Mr. Dunsmuir and have accepted office. Hon. J. H. Tur- uer is a highly respectable business man and was a greater success as. minister of finance than as leader of the government. Hon. D. M. Eberts while in office exhibited some ability and a large amount of indolence. In opposition he shook off his lethargy and the exhibition of ability was considerably increased. f he keeps up the pace developed in opposition, the chances of .his proving an efficient attorney-general are considerably, increased. As usual, the Island already has the majority of the cabinet positions. We would uot be at all surprised to find that its completion would be brought about by the appointment of Mayor Garden of Vancouver as minister of public works and that of J. D. Prentice as minister of mines. It is a cabinet that will give anything but satisfaction in the" interior. Its only redeeming feature is that it serves to save the Province from the blighting influence of Joseph Martin. , REDISTRIBUTION. On June 9th "there were 1,110 votes cast in Boundary- district alone. Boundary elected no member. It was a portion of the Rossland district. Both candidates were from Rossland, and their nomination was engineered by Rossland. In Esquimau district less 700 votes were polled, and two members were elected; in Southeast Kootenay about 900 votes were polled^and one member was elected; in East Lillooet 209 votes were polled,., one member elected; New Westminster polled 1,170 votes, one member; North Victoria, about 380 votes, one member; South Victoria 467 votes, one member; Slocan-l,188.v.otes,_a^ejra^niber;___?__��* Yale 997 votesy one member; Comox 628 vote.s, o*ae member; West Yale 503 votes, one member; South; Nanaimo 474 votes, one member; Cowichan 304 votes, one member; Cariboo about 900 votes, two members. A careful- perusal of the full returns; show that there is scarcely a single-meinber constituency in xhe Province with a larger voting population than Boundary, and there arc several constituencies with two members that have a smaller voting population. There can be no excuse for delay in redressing what is a palpable injustice. Boundary should be granted representation at the very first session. We cannot but think that the people of British Columbia judged wisely in rejecting the Martin government and the Martin programme. We grant that Mr. Martin did good public service in Manitoba, and that Liberals can have no quarrel with his record in the Federal parliament. But Mr. Martin is a destructive rather than a constructive statesman, and a new country requires constructive rather than destructive legislation;; Then Mr. Martin has faults of temper that unfit him for leadership, and we do not think it can be successfully argued that he is more scrupulous than many of the politicians whom he holds up as the creatures of corporations and the slaves of financial interests, The truth is that Mr. Martin loves power and is ready to take the easiest road to the place he covets, and is indifferent as to tbe character of the instruments he employs to serve the purposes of his ambition. There were good features in his c;im>' paigu programme, but he was inconsiderate, reckless and revolutionary in his m-.tho.ls, and uo one could tell in what spirit - he might carry on the government of the Pacific Province. ���British.:Columbia needs capital, and he practically advertised himself as a foe of capital. -British Columbia has many interests iu the earlier stages of development, and these were unfit to bear the radical and Pooulistic legislation furthered during his career as Attorney-General aud threatened ,in case of his success in the elections. British Columbia needs a government whose policy will tend to reconciliation between capital aud labor; Mr. Martin's policy tended to strife aud disin- - X* tegration. British Columbia needs commercial stability; Mr. Martin's programme and methods threatened a long continuance of commercial instability.���Toronto Globe. * the Lind-creek system the moment the water supply runs short the amount expended on it becomes a total loss to the city. Yours truly, -.. cTE. Shaw, C. E. The letter from C. M. Shaw, G.E., appearing iu another column should be carefully read by all rate-payers in the city. There has already been too much money expended on costly experiments- in the city, and the city should pause before undertaking such an important project without being sure of its success. Mr. Shaw makes out a good case against Lind creek. The Rossland board of trade, in taking the initiative in securing the removal of Governor Mclnnes, are doing the Province a service. It is not a question of politics at all. It is a question of'business, and a business institution like the board of trade have a right to interfere. A. F. & A. M.

Eight hundred tons of ore shipped to the smelter is an encouraging showing for one week when it is considered that local smelters are uot yet ready to receive ore and that shipments from some of the big properties are being delayed until advantage can be taken of cheaper transportation rates for a short haul. The Knob Hill and Old Ironsides will probably ship to the Granby smelter this week, and this ought to double the total. It is only a question of a few months until Boundary takes a leading place among the big shipping districts of the province. LIND CREEK SUPPLY. To the Editor:^-I understand that a project is on foot to establish a system of waterworke for Greenwood, with L,ind creek as the source of supply. I aTn^ajtisfiM'thatthiswill'be'a^failure,- as Lind creek is a short stream, only about five miles or less in length, with a very small basin, or drainage area, and in dry seasons such as we are subject to in this district, there is scarcely any water in. it. I myself have seen it f.o nearly dry a couple of miles up from the mouth that it was difficult to find a place where a small tin of water could be dipped up, and I have no doubt there are plenty of "old timers" here who have repeatedly seen it in this condition, and after Anaconda got its share of the water there would be noth- left for us but the taxes. There is also every probability that the stream will be poluted by the pumpage from the mines in the same way that Twin creek is at present. I understand that the claim is advanced that the city has the power to prevent the polution of the creek; if this is the case why not put this power in force with regard to Twin creek and use the water from it ? thus saving an" outlay of about $30,000 on an experiment that has failure written on it. We will undoubtedly have to get our water supply- in the near future from Boundary- creek. This rut's through a granite formation in which no mineral frag been found, and it will therefore not be contaminated by drainage from mines. There is an ample supply of water for all purposes, and the outlay proposed on Lind creek would put in a pumping plant and reservoir which would supply Greenwood for some time to come, and later.ou the water could be brought from further up the stream by gravitation., still utilizing the reservoir and pipe line, and the pumping plant would always be on hand _n case of accidents or repairs to the Hume, etc., so that the plant will always be of full value to the city, whereas with u To /1* c Copper Mountain, Twenty Mile, Granite Cree, Rocne River, Tulameen, Big Soo and Nicola.

The people of Manilla seem pleased with the democratic course of.the commissioners and with their' habitually courteous demeanor. The earlier feeling of .disappointment is'.slowly disappearing. ' The United States forces had two engagement of importance last week. The troops under General Funston and General Grant organized an advance with parts of five regiments and two guns, against five hundred rebels in a mountain "stronghold east of Biacnabat^where-it was supposed Captain Roberts, of the 35th regiment, who was captured last month at S^an Miguel de Ma'yuma. was held captive.

Hughie Cameron has started a force of men on the Vernon claim in Camp McKinney. A. M. Law and W. G. Gaunce spent yesterday iu the Mj'ers Creek camp looking over claims on Buckhorn mountain.

Notwithstanding the' encouraging reports from the Waterloo mine the stock in this company is sinking daily. It was offered in Spokane the end of last week: at;. 3% cents per share. A Spokane broker says that insiders are ''bearing" the market with a view to crushing out small holders.

A divorce was granted to Clarissa H. Nichols yesterday from George"Crosby Nicfto^s. T|ie husband djd not appear. The wife, who is, apparently still in her girlhood, went on the stand and told how she had taught dancing and worked at other employment during the three years of their married life in order to provide for her support and that of the baby. The child-wife told an apparently . straightforward story of the desertion of her husband. There was no community property and the custody of the baby was given to the l young woman.���Spokane Review. Victoria, June 20.���[Special to The Times.]���The political crisis has about come to a head and there seems no reasonable doubt that Lieutenant-Governor Mclnnes: will be dismissed. Today private telegrams from Ottawa stated tie had been asked to resign 03' the federal government on the grounds of general dissatisfaction and its understood that Sir Henri: Joly bf Quebec would succeed him. Last night the government secretly stated that Mclnnes had refused to resign, for as he put it in his telegram to Ottawa, he would not recognize the right of a Tory convention to advisethe Liberal government at Ottawa how to act. This of course- refers to' the resolution passed by the great majority of the members of the legislature asking the dismissal of Mclnnes. As federal politics have been barred out of provincial issues, this wiU bring things to a head, for the leading Liberals are as strong against Mclnnes as> are the Conservatives. While returning members from the convention are inclined riot to talk, yet iti* learned that in view of the strenuous opposition of oome of the Mainland members, Turner agrees to drop out of the cabinet after the first session, and it is generally understood that he will be given the post of agent-general of the Province atLon(ioa. Qapden of Vancouver says he wil} not accept a place in the cabinet, and it is understood that this refusal. is because he fears he might not be reelected if he went before his constituents again, as must all members when they accept ofliee. Dunsmuir Is assured of general support, and the latest report is that McBride of Dewdney will be taken into the cabinet as commissioner of;lands and works, and Green of Kaslo wiU be made minister of mines in place-of Smith of Lillooet to appease the dissensions of the caucus. One thing seems certain, and that is that Mclnnes will be forced out of the gubernatorial chair in short order how. ministry, while wholly unsupported in the legislature and giving him such an unwarranted time to complete his cabinet, and his completion of the same by gentlemen unendorsed by the electorate, was contrary to the principles, usages and customs of constitutional government, and detrimental to . the best interests of the Province; and after having been emphatically con demned by the electorate at the late general elections, respectfully request the premier of Canada to lay these facts before the governor-general of Canada, humbly suggesting that the usefulness of His Honor, the lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, is gone." The convention met again at 9 o'clock and did not break up till midnight, | when an adjournment was made until j 10 o'clock tomorrow, AH members! were sworn to secrecy, but several' points soon became public, The discussion was very spirited and several apologies were made, ��� I Several Mainland members main-1 tained a strong opposition to the Duns- uiuir and Turner government. Many refused to become members of what would be like the former Turner administration, Tlie discussion wound up with a speech from Richard McBride, .Dewdney, the tenor of whose remarks was: ''You see how \\ is, Mr, Dunsmuir, and wh.Y we cannot give you all the support yon ask," A resolution was passed that Laurier should have raised the Chinese tax to $500 while he was about it, should have included the Japanese and made provision for an act similar to th*. Natal act, Victoria, June 18.���Victoria is sore. Lberts and Turner are looked upon as traitors to Dunsmuir, If Dunsmuir has nerve he wiU throw both overboard and come out on top.

AGAINST McINNES. Vancouver Convention Take Action Against Lieutenant-Governor: The following telegrams were sent to the Nelson Tribune in connection with the Vancouver.conventionr: Vancouver, June 18.���Cojitary to general expectations, the opening session of the convention of the late opposition of the provincial house was an exceedingly unanimous ojie. There were very few members, of the opponents of ex-gremier Martin absent, ^nd every one present, f��o.m ByenverBims. muir and his two cabinet ministers, already chogen, down to the end of the long list of private members, signed a resolution addressed to the government at Ottawa, saying that it was in the interests of the Province of British Columbia ...that Governor Mclnnes should, resign. Captain Tatlow of Vancouver gave out this afternoon that he intended to .move this resolution just as soon as the convention convened at 4 o'clock. It was a tentative resolution proposed to test the feeling of the members E.x-speaker Booth was in the chair this a.ttrnoon, and ex-minister Pool ey was the most aggressive supporter of the resolution. After an hours' discussion Dunsmuir, Turner aud Eberts retired, believing that their oaths of office prevented them from further participar tion. When everyone else had agreed' to the resolution objection was made to the ministers not signing also, so the "latter yielded to the lobbying solicitations of Mr.- Poqley and reentered the room. The three ministers then signed tjie petition for the removal of the governor although t..ey excepted office under him. MINERAL ACT. Certificate of Improvements.

Admiral Seymour Readies Peking.���Russians Will Act Independently���Legations Said to be ' Safe. ��� The Situation in South Africa. London, June 21.���The advices from official sources are meager concerning the situation in China. A dispatch from Chaugha says: ''Admiral Seymour arrived at Peking Sunday afternoon. The Chiuese, with a large force, made five attacks, aud were repulsed with a loss of 500 to the Chinese. Our loss was slight." The exact state of affairs in Peking is uncertain, as no news has been received from the legations. The Italian consul at Shanghai wires that the legations are safe, but that the rebellion is spreading far and wide. "United States Consul Fowler, at Chee Foo, says the mission at Fan Chow v was looted. The Chinese general carried off the missionaries to an unknown place. Fowler chartered a steamer for the rescue of the American and British missionaries at Yang- tse-kiang. The British cruiser Undaunted ar rived at Woo Sung yesterday. Advices from Berlin are that lhe Germans fix the responsibility for the trouble wholly on the Chinese g-overnment. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says the Russians will act independently of Admiral Seymour at Peking. This presages trouble. The Russian loss at Taku was greater than that of the other naval forces. London, June 21.���The British are resting at Machadorp. Kruger is still at Alkamarp. An informal truce of five days is in force between General Botha and Lord Roberts. General Methuen routed Commandant Devvett at Heilbruen on Tuesday. General Kitchener had a narrow escape from capture in the engagement at Leeuw last Friday while sleeping ou a repair train at 3 o'clock in the morning by Dewett with a force of 900 Boers. Kitchener escaped ou his horse. Lieutenant Governor Mclnnes Dismissed [From Ottawa. - SIR HENRY JOLY SUCCEEDS Will Leave Ottawa For Victoria Immediately���Coast is Jubiliant Over Mclnnes' Dismissal. VANCOUVER CONVENTION. Dunsmuir to Have Temporary Support of Mainland Members. The Nelson Tribune yesterday had the following dispatch from Vancouver : The so-called opposition convention closed harmoniously tonight. The Mainland gave in, temporarily at least, to,the Vancouver Island delegation, this being the only way in which, as one member put it, ex-premier Martin could be effectively extinguished. The convention unanimously agreed to support Premier Dunsmuir and his government in passing all necessary legislation at the coming session, with the understanding that there will be a thorough reconstruction of the cabinet after the session, which takes place early in July. This will be a very . short one, lasting only about ten days, for the voting of supplies, and- no contentious bills are to be brought forward. This leaves the millionaire-coal king practically master of the situa- ��� tion. There was a fear this afternoon that Governor Mclnnes, who has been asked to resign, would dismiss the 3 ministers who had been unfaithful to him iu asking the governor general for his dismissal and thus playing into Joe Martin's ha-nds by precipating an- . other serious situation-. Just before adjournment an important resolution was passed to the effect 7 that members of the legislature there assembled agreed to the principal of the eight-hour law. There was no arrangement, although "that wasmootedf that Finance-Minis-, ter Turner and Attordey-General Eb- erts should resign as a necessary preface to the reconstruction of the cabinet. Mayor Garden of Vancouver may be nominated premier in the reconstruction of the cabinet. Later.���Mayor Garden has definitely refused a portfolio under the present adminstration. He has, however, agreed to supporting Dunsmuir as a temporary measure. Mclnnes tonight refused to resign, uot being willing to be bound by a Conservative convention. THE DISMISSAL OF McINNES. The Laurier government had an unpleasant duty to perform in the dismissal of Lieutensnt-governor Mclnnes but no other course was open to them since he interfered in matters over which he properly had no control and was fast establishing personal government instead of responsible govern ment. The issue of the last campaign was not as Gordon Hunter suc- cintly put it, public ownership of railways but private ownership of government. Lieutenant-governor Mclnnes' has had to form three governments in two years. Two of them were dismissed, one with a majority at its back, and another he refused to permit to meet the legislature to see where it stood. A *=olid vote of the legislature was recorded against' the selection of Martin as premier, yet Mclnnes refused to obey this and called upon him "to form an administration and afterwards dissolved the legislature to permit Martin appealing to the province. The result was that Martin met with an overwhelming defeat, and now 25 of those who were elected out of a house of 38 members have passed a resolution asking for the dismissal of the lieutenant governor. What is peculiar about this is that three ministers whom Mclnnes has just sworn in, and whose bounden duty ought to have been in that case when they did accept office to have defended their governor, have instead signed a resolution demanding his removal. These ministers were Dunsmuir, Egberts and Turner. Under the circumstances no other course was open to the Laurier government, and while it is always unpleasant to take drastic measures with a man who has been in public life for a quarter of a century, he alone is responsible for his dismissal. * McKIEEY THE 1AH.
