A  MISUNDERSTANDING
I'I he Irono Incident Had Boon  Disto ted.
Tone of tho Press Changing- Some
Kecent Press Comments.
Berlin,    Aug.    111.���The    Associated
ll'ross correspondent lias  had an interesting interview on the subject of   tho
Spanish Amerioan war, with a gentle-
Ihiun, who,   in the  absence  of  Baron
Ton liulow, is acting  as chief  of   the
Foreign office,and who may be recorded
B8   voicing   in   this   conversation   the
Wmcral   offloial   viow   of   the   subject
llisoussed.   The gentlenian   began  by
gaying    Baron Von Bulow  cautioned
no on leaving  that no expression of
Eprarioi<*contrary to Germany's  policy
\( neutrality was to   be   promulgated.
Chat wn mean to observe   a neutrality
hf this description, I think   the   world
l.nows.    From   the   start    the   foreign
Lfflce has made it an invariable rule to
lay   nothing that eould be interpreted
Is   offensive   to   either   side,   and   we
liave iu no way tried to   influence   the
llernian press ill   favor of   the United
I'tiites except on ft single occasion.    Al
���rst there was   SO   much   hostility Oil
lie part of the German press   towards
United   States   that   we   took an
larly opportunity   to arrange   for the
ppearauce  of  articles of a different
one.    Almost   the   only nihility existing between   Germany   and  Spain   is
lounil in tho monarchical institutions,
vhile tho bonds uniting Germany and
llie United States are numerous,
It is true that at the commencement
If the war Germans were much influenced by tho fact thai n powerful
liition was attacking a weak one.
[his was a strong strain upon German
Healism and the sense of justice which
lliaraeteriy.es the German people. The
liere fact tliat you were the aggressors
In this case somewhat prejudiced the
Ircrman mind against you, quite irre-
Ipectivo of tho merit of the controversy. Besides it must not be for-
lotten that Germans in the matter of
ilitical education are somewhat un-
Bpo. It is not long since they became
J homogeneous political unity. It is
lartly due to this fact that Germans
���ro given to reaching hasty conclusions
In questions of politics. Hence, sprang
I groat amount of public comment in
livor of Spain in the early stages of
Bio  war.   Such  talk, however, ought
not to be quoted against; tho (li-inmi
government in regard to which there
has Iun, I think, no just cause of
complaint by Americans. As a matter
of fael during the pasl fortnight the
tone of ih" German press bus been
much moro favorable to the United
Slates and hardly anything hostile has
been nppeared in any of the important
papers, while the number of journals
openly friendly has considerably in-
creasi d, The papers uow point out
ihai authorities at Madrid and Manila
and the Spanish press were largely responsible for the excitement arising
out of the Irene incident, as they misconstrued this ami preceding incidents,
in a manner that necessarily aroused
suspicion in the Dnited States.
A good sample Of the average cdi-
torial articles now-a-days is furnished
by tho Ijokal Anzeiger, until recently,
ne of the most violent ant i-American
sheets in Berlin.
In an article printed today the
Journal draws a parallel between the
Turku-Grecian and the Spanish American war, and says that the differenco
between the two cases lies mainly in
the fact lhat Greece was Ihe attacking
and not like Spain the attacked party.
This the Lokal-Anzoiger goes on to
say, was only a formal difference. For
Spain aftor annoying, injuring and
provoking a powerful neighbor for a
long time bad finally engaged in a war
in which she had not the necessary
strength to defend her possessions,
and had only imposed sacrifices upon
herself as she WOS* bound to lose. If
on lhe other hand she had sold theso
colonies, she would have realized a
large sum.
" ily her unreasonable attitude." tho
Lokal-Anzeigor contiuues, "Spain assumes as large a measure of responsibility as Greece. Both the Spaniards
and Greeks are blind, and are full of
conceit and vanity. "
The newspapers here today discuss
elaborately (lie new situation and the
changed conditions growing out of the
war. The conclusion reached is that
the United States, must hereafter be
reckoned as a great naval power and
lhat Germany will be obliged once
more lo increase her navy in order to
. hold her own wilh other powers, The
Deutscho-Zeitung discussing the an-
; ncxalinn of Hawaii and the plans of
theJUnited States as regards the Archipelago says:
This means a change in Ihe balance
of power ill the South seas regarding
which Germany cannot afford tube
silent.
Admiral Von Knorr, commander-in-
chief of the navy informs the correspondent of the Associated Press that
during the approaching autumn and
winter the German navy will he more
strongly reprci inted in American
waters that at any time since IWII
when Germany took a leading part in
the settlement of lie Chilian I rouble.
Five warships, the Gier, Hela, Moltke,
Sophia and Nixo, carrying 57 guns aud
1684 men will l.e kept there.
MILES STOPS FIGHTING.
Washington, Aug. 18.���General
Miles has cabled the war department
that ho is in receipt of Secretary
Alger's orders to suspend hostilities in
Porto Rico.
Washington, Aug. 18.���Tho sudden
transition from war to peaco was reflected today in a complete dullness
ami stagnation in oflieial circles. Instead of the bustle and activity which
have prevailed for months through the
corridors of the war department and
navy, there was a calmness not apparent since the midsummer vacations of
last year. Most of tho Officials went
home early in tho day. There will he
a large amount of details to be worked
out from this time forward, the grad
ual reduction of the army and navy lo
a peaco footing; the establishment of
temporary and permanent administrations for our new colonial possessions, caring for the wounded and
prisoners, and the relief of distress in
Cuba.
The question which demands immediate attention is the appointment of
the peace commission which is to meet
at* Paris and the military commissions
to meet at Havana and San Juan. The
president conferred with Secretary Day
during tbo day relative to the peace
commission but it was said at the state
department late in (be d-y that the,
announcement of the commissioners
appointed might be deferred for some
days. It is understood that the president has fully determined upon the
personnel of the commission. Several
of lhe public men who saw him today
were satisfied that the commission
would be made up of Secretary Day,
Senators Allison and Gorman, either
Joseph H. Choato of New York or
Elihu llott. and probably a prominent
army officer. General Gorbiu is spoken
favorably of in connection with tho
appointment of the commission, The
military commissioners for Cuba and
Porto Rico are not receiving any attention from! the state department as
the military authorities will havo entire charge of these branches of the
peace settlements.
During the day the state department
received a call from M. Thiebault, secretary of the Frencli embassy for the
purpose of leaving a letter explaining
(he authority given by cable to the
French ambassador to sign the protocol. These assurances had already
been given verbally and in tho courso
of a few days the complete written
authorization from Madrid will bo filed
with the state department, Many congratulations keep coining into tho stato
department and to the Whito House on
the establishment of peace.
It is expected that the occupation of
Manila under the terms of tho protocol
will occur within tho next few hours.
It was at first thought that the navy
department bad a despatch boat at
Hong Kong ready to carry forward
the orders to Admiral Dewey and General Merritt, but, thu department declared today that there was no despatch
boat at Hong Kong, although one was
likely to reach there or tomorrow.
Meanwhile it is possible that Consul
Wildnian may charter a steamer and
send the order forward. He has general instructions as despatch agent and
it was said at the state department today that these instructions were given
iu tho present case.
General Greely is satisfied that no
use cau be made of the cable connecting Hong Kong with Manila as thero
are no cable operators al the Manila
end.
Acting Secretary  Alton  said  today
that the matter of establishing coaling
stations,    the   disposition of   Admiral
Cervera and other   Spanish   prisoners,
and like questions brought   up   hy tho
peace   settlement,  would   reeeivo consideration in due  timo but   there  was
no   immediate   necessity   for   passing
upon   (hi in.    Preparations   aro   being
made to   receive   the   battleships  and
armored cruisers now   under orders   to
come north.    Tho war department was
I busy all day with   matters  pertaining
I to the cessation of  hostilities.    Seore-
| tary Alger consulted the president  for
] some time but when   he   returned   he
said that   tho   military commissioners
; for Ouba and Porto  Rico would not be
announced   today.    There was no need
I for haste, he said, as by tho   terms  of
i the protocol ten days were allowed for
��� the selection of the commission.  There
I hits  been   somo  speculation as to who
will be   commissioners, and nearly all
the   more   prominent   officers  of   the
army havo been canvassed, both volunteer and regular, and   it   seems   to bo
generally conceded   that   General  Lee
will be one of the commissioners for
Cuba on account of bis knowledge of
he conditions in this island.
General Brooke and General Henry
are mentioned as probable commissioners for Porto Rico. The subject of
mustering out a part of the volunteer
forces has been considered, and it is
probable the total force will be reduced
to 15,000 meu. This mustering out
will begin at once. Garrisons of both
regular and volunteer soldiers wil! remain in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. Manila and Porto Rico
will bo governed llirough the army at
present, and probably the authority
which the United States exerts in
Cuba will be by tho same method,
This state of affairs is likely to continue until congress mels. It is the
understanding of the war department
that the Spanish soldiers in all places
over which the United States exercises
authority will be virtually prisoners of
war, and under the orders of the United
Statos officers in command. Tbe war
department is now exercising every
effort in the direction of the care of
the sick and wounded soldiers and is
pushing forward plans to make the
troops more comfortable.
RUSSIA AND CHINA.
Russia i.s   Intriguing  for the Removal
of   Sir Robert  Hart.
London, Aug. lli.���A special despatch  received here today says:
The China Gazette that states the
Russian government has Li Hung
t 'hang's promise,made during his visit
to St. Petersburg, that China would
place the Imperial customs under Russian control whenever the interests of
the two countries demanded the
change. Li Hung Chang is said to
favor M. Pavloff, tho Russian charge
d'affaires superseding Sir Robert Hart,
a inspector general of Chinese customs. The emperor has issued several
striking decrees ordering the viceroys
and Tartar generals to coueert measures for the formation of a new navy
under foreign instructors, and urging
thc provincial governors lo abandon
their time-honored Chinese ideas in
favor of western methods, and to encourage the development of the country
on European lines. Tbe Russians have
obtained control of large tracts of
land along the route of the proposed
Nu-Chwang railway.

PORTO   RICAN   SUCCESSES.
Playa del Este, Aug. 18, 8 p. in.���
The American warships New York,
Brooklyn, Oregon, Indiana, Iowa and
Massachusetts will sail tomorrow for
Tonipkinsville unless the navy department decides that they shall wait for
the troops from Santiago de Cuba. On
Thursday evening the Scorpion conveyed to Admiral Sampson Washington despatches from Playa del
Este that it was rumored that Captain
General 1" co had escaped from
Havana, possibly on the steamer
Mouserrat. Commodore Watson was
communicated with and (he Dixie and
Yankee were sent to Bahama channel
to head off Blanco. Admiral Sampson
at once decided to go to the western
extremity of Jainacia to intercept
Blanco, should he attempt to escape in
that direction. The flagship made lli
knots an hour despite (he foulness of
her bottom and arrived off Jamaica
yesterday morning and cruised around.
Ou Thursday evening Commodore
Watson instructed Commodore Schley
to go to the southern blockading line
and warn thein of tho rumored escape
of Blanco. While leaving tho harbor
the Brooklyn in endeavoring to gat out
of the way of u transport went hard
aground and did not* get off until yesterday afternoon, when she was hauled
off by the Oregon. No damage was
done, but it was too late for her to
perform in the mission on whieh she
was sent. The Vixen was sent after
the New York but returned in the
afternoon.

FOSTER   ON   GRIT   RULE,
The Hon. George Foster's address,
delivered on Saturday night at tho
Fire Hall,was well worth listening to,
and that for many reasons. Mr. Foster is a very ablo man, a fluent and
entertaining speaker and a past master
in that art of juggling with figures
which some politicians mistake for
statesmanship and able finance. He
performed some peculiarly daring feats
in that particular form of acrobatics on
Saturdayevening thinking, presumably,
that living so far away from Ottawa
the people of Nelson had neither heard
nor road [of the complete way those
statements had been refuted by Mr.
Fielding.
Mr. Foster trotted out for inspection
and review several of the pet* grievances which tho conservatives cherish
against the liberals. The chief of these
is the able way the Laurier government is handling tho tariff question.
The liberals, during the last Dominion
election campaign, announced their
intention of treating the matter of the
tariffs on quite a different* principle
from that on wliich tho comervatives
had acted. Free trade they said was
their goal, and in the meantime tariffs
should, so far as possible, be maintained for revenue purposes only. Ou
the accession of Sir Wilfred Laurier to
power, tho conservatives hoped and
apparently expected, that the liberals
would he foolish enough to sweep
away the whole system of tariffs at
ono fell swoop, and anticipated a
great accession of strength to themselves as the result of the consequent
general dislocation of business The
liberals, however, most unfeelingly
declined to play into the hands of their
opponents. They knew that great and
radical changes must be effected
slowly, if them are to be beneficial,
and they refused to product* by a
violent upheaval of tho economic conditions of tho country thoso results
which eould lie more wisely obtained by gradual and systematic
even though changos, tho operation should occupy some years
before fully consummated. Tho
preferential duties in favor of British
merchandise a aro step in tho right
direction, as are also the substantial
reductions to bo found in many other
sections of tho tariff. It is true that
tho duty on certain articles has been
raised, but they are articles of luxury,
such as tobaccoand, thc incroaso is for
revenue purposes, aud not for the protection of any particular industry,
aud tho pre-election pledges have consequently not been violated either in
the letter or in the spirit.
Mr. Foster complained also of the
increased revenue derived by the pres
ent administration. It must be very
mortifying to the honorable gentleman
to see his successor dealing in surpluses where ho had been accustomed
to contemplate deficits, and he has
our deepest sympathy in the matter,
but surely a surplus is a queer kind of
an argument to use against a government ! Throughout his address Mr.
Foster, though undoubtedly entertaining, was the reverse of candid. What
could be disingenuous than his statement that the liberals had introduced
the American spoils system? While
we do not intend to discuss the system
itself, the facts in this particular case
are well known. For eighteen long
years the conservatives were in power,
and for eighteen long years all liberals were debarred from all posts in the
gift of the government. The conservatives had rigidly adhered to the
rule of making partisan appointments
for eighteen years, aud with what de-
gioo of justice can they blame the lib-
erls, when they at last obtained office,
for removing the ban that had lain
for so long upon their followers? It
was but a righteous retribution, and
the logical result of the actions of the
conservatives themselves.
Mr. Foster referred to the bonus
granted by his government for tho
smelting of silver-lead ore, and said
that they had paid out nothing under
the grant because there were no sniel-
ters then in operation. Ho pointed to
the Trail and Hall Mines smelters now
in full blast and scored tho liborals
for not having paid out any money under tho grant, and said that they had
consistently refused to consider any
claims for the bonus. He also implied
that those smelters had started up in
consequence of this bonus, which will
be news to Mr. Heinze and the Hall
Mines Co. It may interest Mr. Foster
to know that the Trail smelter has
never yet treated silver-load ores,
neither has the Hall Mines smelter
(with (he exception of 700 tons smelted
this spring) and thus his story of the
liberal government persistently refusing to pa}- the bonus is palpably untrue,
whilo his claiming the credit for tho
establishment of copper smelters by tho
grant of a bonus for smelting silvor-
lead is ridiculous. If this is the way
Mr. Foster perverts facts, intelligent
persons may bo pardoned for the incredulity with wliich they received
his extravagant statements on Saturday night.
It is now nearly four months since
Mr. A. E. Hodgins was empowered to
organize an volunteer company in
Nelson. A mess room has been secured, the company roll is full and the
men drill regularly and enthusiastically. Everybody in Nelson connected
with tho South Kootenay Rides has
done his duty, and the remissness of
the militia department i.s consequently
the more to be deplored. It was only
tlie other day that the officers' commissions were gazetted, and the Miner
learns that* neither uniforms nor rifles
havo yot been supplied. A stand of
arms was recently sent to the coast,
but the authorities thero havo refused
to send any to Nelson, and up to the
present no more have been forthcoming from headquarters, If a thing is
worth doing at all, it is worth doing
well, and how can the authorities expect the men to keep up tho necessary
interest in the company if they do not
possess the most rudimentary equipments. Moreover, (he men are prevented from becoming efficient. How
cau a man learn to become the master
of his weapons, if ho is uot supplied
with the arms? Whether it is rod tape
or forgetfulness that has caused the
delay The. Miner is not in a position
to say, but if tho department wishes
the volunteer movement in this part
of tho country to bo a success, it
hud better wake up before it is too late.

Merely    Alters,   But   Does    Not
Destroy  the Pretty Fable.
If it is true that lliero exists any
serious clisagreemenet in tho cabinet
over tlit; policy of taking to ourselves
definitely the Philippines, Abraham
Lincoln's manner of dealing with a
debuted question supplies tho model
for procedure now, bays the New York
Sun. According to the luto Beu Holli-
day, he, Holliday, wns invitod by the
president to bo present whilo the cab
iuet considered n certain important
measure. Tho discussion was long,
thorough and very earnest, and at its
conclusion it was plain that the cabinet was a unit. At tho proper timo
the president said: "Gentlemen, wo
will vote.    Thoso in favor say Ayo.''
"Aye!" said tho president.
"Those opposed sny No," continued
the Lincoln, and every member of tho
cabinet voted No.
"Tho Ayes havo it," asid Lincoln;
und ho lived to facilitate himself upon
the firmness of his judgment.
If upon tho question of the keeping
of the Philippines the entire cabinet of
tho present- day should voto No, it
would ho tho duty of President McKinley to have his "Ayo" prevail.���

GEORGE E FOSTER^t5wrussr��
, UbUilUij   Iii    lUiJlUU the United States and whicl
Ex-Minister of Finance Discusses Political Questions.
THE POLICY CRITICIZED
Mr. Foster States lhat tlio Liberals  Have
Not Fulfilled Their Anto-Eleo-
tion Premises.
f tho old
actieed in
hich had been
discarded years ago. The tiarty having been in the cold shades of opposition for eighteen years were naturally
very hungry for oliiee. In many eases
competent civil servants were dismissed for no other reason than to
provide positions for Grit party heelers.
The speaker elosed an address of an
I hour imd'ii half with an eloquent peroration, in which ho reviewed the
progress whieh the Dominion had
made since 18(17, eulogized the great
fathers of confederation, and stated
that Canada today iR the peer of any
country ou earth, in undeveloped
natural resources, quality of her institutions and the prospects of tho future.
At the conclusion of Mr. Foster's
address, it. was moved by John A.Turner, and seconded by A. K. Hodgins
uud Alderman Hillyer thut* tho thanks
of tlm audience be tendered to the
honorable gentleman for his able address. The motion was carried unanimously after which Mr. Foster
briefly replied, nnd the meeting dispersed, everyone being well pleased at
having hud the pleasure of hearing the
ex-minister of finance discuss tho
political questions of the day in such
;ut able manner.
1898      PROVINCIAL
'.898
Hon. George E. Foster, minister of
finance in the late Dominion Federal
cabinet,arrived in the city on Saturday
after a visit to mining properties in
the Slocan country, iu which he is
interested.
On Saturday evening Hon. Mf. Foster
addressed a public meeting in tho Fire
Hall, which although hastily called
was well attended. He is one of the
leaders of the conservative party in
Dominion politics end is a very fluent
and logical speaker and an able debater. His discussion of the issues of
the day was listened to wilh interest
and attention. Mr. .lohn Elliott was
appointed chairman and introduced
the speaker as one of the leading
statesmen of Canada.
Mr. Foster on rising wus received j Washington 2
with applause. He began by cougratu ,
luting his audience on the signs of
prosperity and progress which he saw |
in Nelson and predicted a bright future j
for the commercial metropolis of the j
Kootenays.
Ho then proceeded to discuss Dominion  political   questions   dealing with I
the turitt', on   which   issue he claimed '
that   the  liberal  party on  obtaining rowly escaped with her Iif
power had gone back on all their unte-
electiou promises nnd hud   adop
policy of tirotection
party.

WAS A UNION SPY.
Mrs. Elizabeth Stiles, who died in
Madison, Ohio, the other day, was a
Union spy during the civil war. She
was captured by the Confederates during the  siege   of   Richmond and uor-
id the
the conservative party. Prior to the election on
Juno 28, 1806, the liberals hnd never
wearied of denouncing the national
policy and declared that if elected
their policy would be "Free trade as
they have it tu England." They won
the election but found thut lhe only
true tariff policy for a young country I
like Canada was thnt inaugurated and j
carried out by the conservatives. On j
tho tariff and on the Manitoba school
question the conservative had a well
defined polioy nnd tbo peoplo of the i
country knew exactly where to lind it. j
The liberals were elected entirely upon '���
their promises and not on their past
record. Since tho election they hnd
repudiated nearly every promise made I
previously. He was a linn believer iu j
party polities both in Dominion anil
Provincial matters, Under it a better
class of candidates come forward for i
election. For eighteen years the liber- I
ais made charges of extravagance
against the conservatives government,
and accused them of increasing the
national debt of the country lo an unnecessary extent. During the six years
from 181)0 to 1898 the debt bud been in-
oroasd |2,600,000 per year; during lhe
two years rule ot the liberals the delit
had been increased by $8,775,000 per
yoar. Under conservative rule the annual expenditure was little over $86,-
000,000, while tho flrst year of tho liberal rule the expenditure was over
140,000,000, for the fiscal vear lSUS-!) it
will reach $111,000,01)0. In this way he
claimed that the liberals had deceived
tho electors of Canada and hud obtained power under false pretenses.
Some liberals claimed that the party
should have credit for
gold in the Klondike, (he good crops
of Manitoba and the growth of tho
cattle industry in Alberta, but what
had they ever dono for tho Kootenay
country. In 1895 when the Kootenay
was just coming into prominence, tho
conservative government passed an act
granting a bonus of five cents per ton
on all silver-lead ore smelted in the
country and appropriated thu sum of
$15,000 for that* purpose.
Up  to  June  28, 1898, nn claim   for
the bonus   was   niade   und   since that
LEAD   US   NOT ASTRAY.
Cur historic policy of isolation and
: of non-intervention, excopt  so far as
relates to tlie integrity of the Ameri-
i can continent, a polioy builded iu the
i corner-stone of the republic, has made
, us the happiest, the most ideal of na-
| tions.    Washington    and   the   fathers
t'orsaw lhe temptations to which we
i would bo subjected and they conjured
jus to beware, of thein. In such a timo
'as this, when the war   fever   quickens
our pulses, let us take care no delirious
dream of imperialism leads us to
lour own destruction.���Philadelphia

been almost arranged when the conservatives went out of power. With regard to the Crow's Nest Past Puss railway contract he stated that the conservative government hud arranged for
its construction on terms which would
not have cost lhe Dominion more than
$1,000,00(1, but on assuming the reins
of government the liberals had repudiated the contract and the new arrangements will cost the country over $���!,-
1100,000 in a straighl subsidy to the C.
P. It.
The contract entered into by Mr.
Sifton for the construction of the Teslin lake railway was au outrageous
one, and had the senate not thrown out
the bill, the choicest gold lands in the
Yukon would have been granted to
Messrs. MacKenzie and Mann for
building a tramway which began nowhere and ended 150 miles beyond. As
an evidence of the wisdom of (be
action of the senate, a road is now
being built from Skagway to open up
the country and will not cost tho'.
Dominion one cent in subsidy.
