St. 'Petersburg, Nov. 16.-A difference has developed between Great Britain audjlussin over the laripgua)\ ol the article in the North Sea convention relative to the question ol responsibility. At tile foreign office it is said that Russia does not' desire lo in any way recede Irnm the basis of the agreement', but site pro- n poses a modification of the language i.ubniittod in tlio English text. The Admiralty it Is understood contended all along that the international commission should eonlhrc its Inquiry to the • establishment ol tbe question whether torpedo boats wore oil the Doeser Hank and whether in any event tlie Russian .Ships' wure justilied in firing. I liy the government to conic West. Tlic intention is to bring out another party iu 111(15 to giue incite demonstrations to tlie Mirers on the Atlantic coast, and these will come to Vancouver. Mr. Cowle came over Irom Nanaimo on Si, .inlay and left for tlic East on Sunday afternoon. After bin trip of inspection, he was quite confident tbat the Nanaimo herring is fully up to tlic standard of the Scotch lisli, and that il is capable of being cured in a* variety' of ways so as to make delicious and valuable food. The llsh l*re were a little smaller than on the Atlantic coast, bul this was in their lavor, as when loo large they become coarse Owing to the run being just started, he did not see thc her(ing lo the best advantage. Comparing the methods in vogue in Ilritish Columbia with thoso on the Eastern coast, Mr. Cowic says thc barrel used for packing is much superior bcrc, Being perfectly i solid and• walcr-lig|it.

Stocssel asking the St. Petersburg authorities for instructions as to whether he would continue holding out, awaiting relief, or make immediate arrangements with the Japs for surrender upon tlie most advantageous terms possible. This rumor cannot be confirmed, but it is obvious that only despatches of the highest importance would impel Gen. Stocssel lo risk the loss ol a warship by sending her out upon such a mission, in lace of the rigid blockade maintained oil Port Arthur by the Japanese fleet. The captain ol the Rastoropny has notified thc Chinese authorities tiial. be will disarm. It is beliuvcd thai this decision was arrived at after communicating with St. Petcrs|ipirg. There is reason to believe tbat .Ia|H anese cruisers have Llrnr. watching Hilio port although a steamer which has I just arrived, saw no Japanese war vessels. The Rastoropny brought a number ol copies ol tllc Nova Krai, a Port Arthur newspaper. In one of tllc iss.as it is stated that while a (Associated Press Despatches.) Jarpancse destroyer was laying mines on Nov. 11, she was surprised Wy thc . battleship Retvis-an and sunk! LATER. [ Che Foo, Nov, lfl.—The Russians have blown up the torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny. Thc torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny was ol 210 tons displacement, was 200 leet long, ami had a speed ol 20 knots. Her armament consisted ot one 12- poundcr and three .(-pounders, and she had two torpedo lubes. She was launched in 1001. WORD FROM PORT ARTHUR. St. Petersburg, Nov. 10— Despatches from Gen. Stocssel, commander ot the Russian military forces at Port Arthur, and Rear. Admiral Wi- rcn, in command of the Port Arthur squadron, brought by the Russian torpedo boat destroyer Rastoropny to Che Foo, have reached tlie Emperor, but have nol yet been made public. The great importance ol tbe infiirint.t,ioii is apparent frnm the|_ct that tbe torpedo lioat destroyer was deliS^ra'lely sacrificed in order tto gel the communications from the beleaguered garrison. The only word which lias reached llie Admiralty, ia a telegram from the captain ol the Haistoropny, announcing his armi/val with official despatches. An attempt of the Japanese to repeat tto Rycs- pitelni incident, in these waters lis confirmed. The captain reports that the Rastoropny will be disarmed and1 hauled out to prevent the .possibility ot the Japanese entering the harbor and lorcibly towing her out. | Tto commander ot the Rastoropny 'in an interview of his adventureous voyage, said: "We lelt Port Arthur at midnight in a blinding snowstorm. I Tlie boat was navigated through all the dangers of floating mines without a mishap. On reaching tlie open sea, we saw a Japanese cruiser and 'some torpedo boats in the distance, but we were steaming rapidly through the storm with lights extinguished and passed then unnitic- ed. We reached Che Foo without any mishap of any kind," | The commander of the torpedo boat destroyer was optimistic with reference to Port Arthur. He declared all the fort, remained in Russian hands and that the garrison was confident and in good spirits. llie former Russian governor ol Port Dalny, M. Sakharoff, died recently at Porl' Arthur of enteric fever. KAISER AND THE BISHOP! SAUSAGE SHOW.

There wns a If! trade in coffee and cake during thc interval arid people sat around and chatted and laughed till the programme wns resumed, Encores were frequent I for the singing and Instrumental music were cxccptionsally good. Mrs. Watson accompanied the singers very skillfully on -the piano and like the bazaar, the concert was thoroughly successful. New York, Nov. 10.—A Berlin despatch to thc Times says: "Bishop Benzled, ot Met?., has been called to Rome, the-German government having made a complaint against him. Some months ago the Bishop caused a sensation by publishing an edict prohibiting the burial of Protestants in the joint comiiiunial cemetery at Famcck, near Strasslwrg. A little afterwards, Emperor William received the Bishop at Strass'llurg. lie said: "You have asked for an audience Bishop. I am greatly dissal- islied with you. You have cursed n German cemetery. Rcinem-IUcr that the Emperor will never allow intolerant curses of that kind, your duly is to bless, not to curse.'' The Bishop said to had withdrawn the edict and the Emperor added: That is very fortunate lor you. Let me tell you that you are to serve God ac- cordflig to your, conscience, hut you must also serve the Kaiser and tl.e Fatherland. It necessary the Emperor's hand can to strong as iron."

D NICHOLSON, Prop LADYSMITH" MtDGER STARS OF THETOkSK <f_S . A ■ Majjor Dclmnr is the bright star ol the trotting world for 1904, especially because he lowered the colors ol Lou Dillon. Second only to Major Delniar stands. Sweet Marie,- the 'wonderful California mare, who is without a doubt the greatest racing trotter the world has known, and before, another ycair ban passed she is more than likely to he hailed as thc champion, in this connection it is interesting to recall that this, brilliant performer was called a quitter last year, and with reason, lor she gave evidence time and again ol cither taint hcartcdness or lack ol endurance that has made her record ot this season the more remarkable* After her wonderful display of sameness at the Lexington track, when aire outgamed thc other entries1, including' Tiverton the horse that beat her in the Charter Oak, she was stamped as being not only a speed wonder, but a marc possessed af thc stoutest of hearts, as well as a constitution ol iron. But the season that gave Sweet Marie pre-eminence as n racing machine marked the downfall of the sen national Lou Dillon, unquestionably the fastest of trotters, Last year, Lou Dillon was queen and Sweet I Marie a fast marc, but a qfuitter. This year Sweet Marie fought her way to thc top through her game ncss, while Lou Dillon displayed either a faint hcartcdness or a weakness of constitution that has related her to thc class of horses that have great speed hut nothing else. In discussing her race with Major Delniar for the gold cup at thc Memphis meeting the Horseman says: "lyiiy was It that the little marc, which had so decidedly defeated (Major Delniar a year ago, was unable to even force him to trot a couple ot. miles, to wagon in record time? Thi only spot for an excuse is found bad in July when the mare did not. di herself justice at Detroit and was n lew day- later taken dangerously ill with fever at Cleveland. She recov ereil quickly from this sickness aril', was brought along during the bat ancc ofthe season with tlie one idcr iu view of defeat ing Major Dclma' In thc race for thc gold cup. To tfiii end, all her exhibition dates wen cancelled. "Lou Dillon was prepared lor thi race with tlie greatest care am skill. Millard Sanders and Charles, better known as 'Doc' Tanner hut' a record ol the trial miles of feed ing, etc., which was so successful lust Vycnr in bringing the mare ti tlic track in record breaking condi Irion. The preparatory work for the cup race was based on this, and there is no question but she was pre pared with tlie greatest of care am! skill by two ol the. best conditioner! in the country. A couple ol weeks previous to tllc race tllc marc war tried out, trotting a mile in 2.01 J, and repeating in 2.03. She came out ol these workouts in as good condition as thc most critical could wish. On Eriday previous to the race she Trotted a mile in 2.115 anil asked II she had her extreme speed she stepped an eighth in l.'U seconds. On the day previous to the race site impressed tho visitors to the track as having all her 'hawklike sliced,' as one, of them expressed it. To better understand her con tion the work given her since the race should be considered. On Thursday she was worked a mile in 2.05, and on Saturday one in 2.01}, with the tractions in 30_, 1.01} and 1.31 J llctore tlic race and alter, Lou Dil- loh liad all her speed. Not one bit of fault could he found with her preparation. Was it racing luck that she was apparently not herself in the second race ot her life? Or was if possible she (lid not like being beaten lo the half in 1.03}? "IMaj. Delniar is not new to tho racing game. He won honors as the thrce-ycmr-olil in competition with others of his age. Later he raced against the best in his class, and won and was heal en as fortune tavwed. A year ago, the mare started hi the llrst race ol her lite, caught MaJ- Dclmar when he was acknowledged oh ami with the advantage nf thc pole beat blm decisively. On the day ol the race Maj. Dclmar was a champion in appearance, trained to, the very second, had the fortune to draw, thc favored position next the pole aim rclused tn even be headed after the word was given." Granting that Lpu Dillon may not have liecn herself that day, it must be admitted that the work ol the marc just belore and immediately after that race lent color to the belief that It was Maj. Delniar and not sickness that beat her. FINDING OF JjBOfSR <_rOLD ir- News was received at Krugors- dorl recently, .says South Africa, of 'tr„6 discovery in the bushvcld beyond Louis Tricltardt's Drift and thc Spe- lonken of the famous buried treasure .which was secretly removed Irom the Pretoria mint just belore Lord Roberts' forces entered the.capital, and which formed the romantic issue in the tragedy culminating in the " execution of ex-Policeman. Swart?.. Thc treasure, which consists of bar gold and coin, approximately amounts to 00,000*" dunt-e.; _-d Is 'valued it a quarter ol % million sterling.. The story of its burial and discovery is sensational in .extreme. It is n history ol- blood and crime no [ewer than six men having lost their lives in the burial .and the subsequent search lor the gold, which has Iastcdr since the declaration or peace. Ol th. orhjiifal pa'rty which, was despatched to hide the gold,' not a single soul isaliyc today. It appears that some twenty-tour hours belore ihc. occupation ol Dretoria hy the imperial forces, orders wore'received at the mint from the late President Kruger and Mr. Hcitz, .tlie then State Secretary, to remove the greater portion of the ' 'gold ■ which was extracted front the Robinson, Roso Deep, Ferrcira and other mines lo thc secluded spot in tlie bushvcld jcyond Pietersburg. It was known by the old Trans- ,-aal ollicials that a wagon with rout mules, accompanied by six rpccinlly selected burghers, left Pretoria at midnight with the gold and .anquished into the veld. The crx- .loliceman Swart- and the man whom he murdered, and for which he riiffcreil the last penalty, werc among the. party. After burying the gold four of the Wardens ot the treasure. rejoined the commandoes; hut a luck- ess fate seemed'to have pursued Ji'em, and they werc all killed utter *ard. For some time the search ippcarcd to have died out, and it .vas only through second or third land knowledge that a Krugcrdorp ryndicnte ol six, including ex-Clencr- ■Is Kemp and Cellicrs, cx^'olicc- iieutcnaiit Van Kyi, W. D. . .Smith, .mil the _.'."_• Kemp, a cousin of thc •x-gcucraMouiid out that there was state treasure buried in tbe Inish- ,-eld. The party made repeated exploring, rips into tlie Low Country, in the had season 'to escape observation, mil most o.f theni were stricken with malarial fever. Each member took a inherent direction with tlic under- Handing that il any lound thc treasure it was to be split, uo into ciijual iroportions. Only one iiiciii|ri'r, however, found the burial place, and iic was cx-Qcneral Cellicrs. The site was between two peculiar trees. A red flag as a sign, was stuck up on one of the trees, with a carcass of a mule iu between. 0/ c of the ribs of the mule being imbedded in the soil where the gold was buried. On returning to PlctorsbUrg,' cx-Ucncral Cellicrs was prostrated witli malarial fever in the hospital, and while lie was hovering between..life and death he divulged part ol his secret to oilier members of thc syndicate, who, however,, alter repeated search ings, tailed to find the spot. Some differences ot opinion followed, and ultimately thc syndicate broke up, deciding to severally go their own way. The Government authorities, getting wind og the whole affair, approached an ex-state official residing at Krugersdorp, and he supplied them with certain information and apian ol.tho supposed site. While the (loverninent were acting on this information, Mr. S. J.' Kemp, cousin of the ex-general, had revived u systematic search, with the result ol the discovery. ——o 'The Diver,' and 'The Mighty Deep.'

The Northwest Mounted Police are preparing the most extensive system of patrols for Yukon territory the coming winter that ever have been maintained in the North. A patrol will lie made Irom Dawson to Fort rVlcPlicrson, at the uhuiI.Ii of the Mc Kcnzle river by way ol a pass in the Rocky mountains west ot Daw- sou, and patrols maintained regularly all winter between Dawson and Duncan, Dawson and White Horse, Dawson and Forty-Mile, Forty-Mile and Glacier Creek, White Horse and ihe Alsek and other places. Dctwccn Dawson and White Horse a patrol will lie maintained in such fashion that thc entire length ol the trail will he covered one day each weekr The rounds will he niado with sleighs drawn by horses, and the police will maintain a light express and mail service for their own convenience as well as lo cover the country for thc protection of thebco- ple. along the route. On the Yukon river a patrol will lie given each week between Dawson and Selkirk. Above Selkirk to iMin- tb the overland trail patrol will cover the river, nnd lieyong Minfo the trail runs so close to the Yukon that it is not considered necejuary to have a winter patrol an the Yukon. Hctwcen Selkirk and Dawson the same posts will be open along the river In winter as were maintained in summer, aud on the winter trail, posts will lie maintained at Grand Forks, Wounded Moose, Stewart Crossing, Grand Valley, Selkirk and Minto. Tho patrol lor Fort McPlicrson will leave Dnwson in January, make a trip to McPlicrson and return lielore ipring. Only one round trip will be made during the winter. Tim patrol will cover perhaps 500 miles, actual traveling distance. An Indian guide will accompany thc police. Two or three police will he detailed Irom Dawson on the trip. The greatest difficulty on the trip will be carrying sufficient feed fur flic dogs.

"A great deal has been written lately on the decline of Rugby in London, Eng., and in some districts it is unfortunately only too true.' Take London for instance, says an English writer: A few years ago, lila-~-licat.li and'Richmond could always command their two, three and lour thousand spectators at a match whereas now there arc only hundreds, and 'to many minds this falling off is entirely due to the uninteresting game played by the London teams. One must go with the tjnics, and if they would only try and develop the four three-quarter system, which was inlended to oprn out thc game more, and to do away with the old stereotyped forward game, it is rcrtain interest in the game would revive again, it is all very well for Rugby teams to say they can :et on without "gates," but look at the effect on the game! What is nore disheartening to tbe playcgs than to turn out before empty bem lies and with no encouraging cheers from supporters? There is no iloir-t that the Londoner is at a ^reut disadvantage as regards training and getting himself lit,, hut, sure- if a man is keen on the game anil lal.es any interest in his club there ire heaps of gymnasiums where this can be done with very little trouble, f thc Rugby Union would make a ule that all matches should last, rightly minutes instead of seventy, then men would get lit, for their own sakes. A league has been suggested, but It Is doubt Ini il it would improve matches. The games as friendliest are t;|itc bard enough at present, and a system of points might bring a lot. of rough play iutt: the game, which r.liould certainly be avoided. The only benefit would lie punctuality, and there again tbe Lou don clubs arc the worst offenders, What is wanted in Rugby Football is to have the ball continually handled among llie backs, and not as is chiefly the case now, lost, half the game in amass of forwards."

Drysdale, Stew enson Co., Ltd. , AMONG CANNIBALS. It has been practically decided to organize a British expedition consisting of a force of from 1,540 hi 2,000 men, to march through the country of the Niam Niam savages, a tribe of Central African cannibals whose deeds figured so prominently travellers' books ol a generation argii. The country, which situated some 800 miles southeast ol Khartoum, is within the sphere _f British influence, although the natives themselves at present render nn allegiance except to their own Sultitn. At present the entire trade ol the country, which is very rich in ivory, is in the hands of Belgian traders who give thc natives firearms. In exchange for tusks.

Description | The Ladysmith Daily Ledger was published in Ladysmith, in the Cowichan Valley region of Vancouver Island, and ran from July 1903 to December 1906. Ladysmith developed as a residential area for the employees of a large coal mine, and, in 1904, it had a population of approximately 4000.
