Your special correspondent after visiting the properties of the Carnes Creek Consolidated Gold Alines Limited, a report of which appeared in a recent issue of your paper, paid a visit to the Standard Group and thoroughly inspected these properties. He afterwards had an interview with Mr. Geo. W. Beach, the managing diiector of the company, which owns these properties, who very kindly fiir: uished him with details of the work whicli he contemplates doing on these claims. , The Standard Group is owned by the Boston and British Columbia Copper Mining and Smelting Co. whose head office for this Province is Revelstoke. Tlie properties consist of the Standard, Criterion. Black Bear. Iron Chest, Contractor, Monitor and Iron Hill mineral claims. The company also hold an option bond on the Winnebago and Commander, adjoining mineral claims. They comprise altogether four hundred and fifty acres of land. The Standard Group is situated to the north of Carnes Creek on tho middle south fork of Downie Creek in the Big Bend district of West Kootenay, aud is distant from Kevelstoke tvventy- two.miles as the crow flies and about fifty miles by trail. Five miles of trail above Carnes Creek has h-jen in course of construction and will be completed next spring, thereby considerably lessening the distance by trail to these properties1 besides being a much easier grade than the present one. Theionntry rock is chiefly schist, cut by diorite dikes. In tlie schists occur narrow bands of limestone.. The veins are carried in or along the dikes. As far as is known there are about, nine veins on the property, sik of which ate copper and gold, bearing; the others carry arsenical iion with gold. The copper-bearing veiiis show large croppings. Most important, however at present are the two., veins known'asrllie Standard.veiifNo.-Jpand No. 2." No. 1 is the larger and more piomiMng of the tvvo. They are np- pioxiimilely GO feet n pari, unci in depth will pioliably form 'one very large vein. Tbe 'veins, have a geneially noi thvveBterly course ant! a dip of about 45 degress to the mu tbeast. The development done as yet i con- si-is of several shoifc ciosscuL tunnels ,ircl one .-.ljiift, about fifty leet deep. These tunnels .mil also the shaft are on the Standard claim. Upon the other claims are a number of small cut*. Thr- veins are tiaccable for long distances, across the. ntnperty. The Stand.ud No. 1 is a. very thick vein showing on the croppings above tunnel No. 1 fully twelve fct. Across the hill near tuniu'l No. 2 it i.s more than double of this in thickness. ,,Vein No. 2 appears to be split near the sui- f.ice,'Llie tluee sections of the same, in ciosscub No. 2 show ing -i combined thickness nf about, six feel. The bottom of t he shaft shows a good vein of threo feet. A ! irge pari of the min- ei'.il exposed in tho ciosscut, of No. 2 tunnel is highly mineializi'd. The cropping and cuts on tho veins show extensive mineralization. The comp iny have a force of eleven men, in charge of Messrs. Wilcox and Rumens, working on the pioperties and intend to.increase it to_fourteen immediately. It. is their intention to thoroughly develope the property. The method pursued vvill be tunnelling and upraising. The present No.. 3 tunnel vvill strike the vein within 30 or 40 feet, which vvill then be diifted on westerly for about 000 feet towards* the present Standaid shaft. A new crosscut tunnel ha< been commenced at it lower point, which will strike the Standard vein at a distance of about, 375 feet.. The vein vvill then he drifted mi westerly for about 1000 feet towards the Standaid shaft,. The depth gained on this lower tunnel on the dip of'the vein nt the point of the shaft vvill be over COO feet. Upraises vvill then he made in the drifts on the vein to provp the ore bodies. The cost of Ihis work as outlined vvill be approximately $30,000. The company liave shipped up Iheir supplies for the winter nml it is their intention to have at least two- thirdtTnf this work completed Within the next ten months. Before launching out on this extensive work lhe company weie caieful to obtain the very best expert opinion on these pitiperties. They vytire fortunate in this ipspert in securing thp services of Mr. Leo Von Rosenberg of New York. who. after making a thorough examination, fully believes in the future of-these propeities. He states:���������'��������� The surface indications are exceedingly favorable and itis '-fair to expect that huge and good ore bodies will be found in depth;"'also "I li'elieve that with-proper" development the propel ty wiH become a large producer, and together vvith the smelter to be erected, when the oro supply vvariants it', the enterprise will be a large and well paying one" This coming from such a sotiiee means volumes |for the fiitinc welfare of this mine. It may be said here that the Boston and British Columbia Copper Mining and Smelting Company intend to erect a smelter in all probability near Revelstoke, and aie at present negotiating for.a site for the same on IheColumhia river adjacent to ReveNtoke. If thev .ne siicccs1-ful in.obtaining this land the construction vvill commence next summer. It is also thc intention of this company to build a steamboat to ply on the Columbia river between Kevelstoke and Laporte, What vvith the work nowgoingon at the Standard at the Rosebery and at 'Laforme, (which latter camp I shall deal with in another issue of the Herald), "a smelter in the course of construction next summer at Revelstoke and a (steamboat plying ou the upper river, everything bids fair to see the Big Bend district, largely developed and more generally brought to the notice and attention of the outside world next season. The importance of the steamboat item of the company's programme hus been frequently and fori ibly discussed in the columns of the Hekald. In my opinion it is a project of first-class necessity to the development of the district and one which should receive the heartiest support from every man of business and common sense in Revelstoke. To my mind the Big Bend vvill never amount to a hill of beans until thu steamboat scheme becomes an accomplished fact- Then the steamer will perforin the office, which it hus hitherto filled all over Kootenay of pioneer transput tation, until the district develops sufficiently to bring in the iron horse If our Boston friends- put the steamer on, as I have no doubt thev vvill, they will not only earn a gord dividend on tlieir investment, bnt should receive the support and gratitude of everybody interested in the progress of Revelstoke and the development of the Big Bend district. The Machinists' Strike. Winnipeg papers to hand this week confirm the opinion expressed at the time hy the Hekald that, the decision of the general committee to call the strike off was the result of a consent on the part of the C.P.R. officials to recognize the Machinists' association and deal vvith thnn as an organized body. At a conference held on Friday afternoon General Malinger Whyte announced the recognition of the union and tiie general committee called the strike off at all points on Saturday at noon. The questions involved iu the schedule presented by the machinists were the subject of two conferences between the genernl committee and Master .Mechanic Cross, who also represented the company and was vested with full power to negotiate vvith the men. These meetings were held nn Saturday evening and Monday morning, when terms of agreement were drawn up and signed. The Winnipeg Telegram of Monday says: " The happy tei initiation of the troiible was welcome news to the citizens generally vvho have taken a deep intetest in the contest from the first. The men are lo be congratulated'upoii the manner in which they have conducted their case throughout and the action of the officials in acceding to their demand for recognition is commended from all sides." Smashup near Shuswap The Kamloops Standard has the following account of the smashup at Notch Hill a week ago yesterday : " On Friday evening last," at 10 p. m. a bad accident occured .eight miles east of. Shnsvvnp. The west houiid freight "was coming' down., the- hill,' when one of the wheels broke and a general smash up ensued. The way side is now decorated with. lumber,' cheese, glycerine and other useful .products, besides cars in such a condition that they will have to be carried home. iLnckily Iheie, were no lives' lost, although Mr. GoodfellovV only stepped off the defective car just a second before its wheel gave - way. Not as iiiubh damage vvas done to tlie track as might be expected, hut trains were delayed twelve hours." VICTORY AT GLENCOE Four Thousand Imperial Troops' Drive Back SIX THOUSAND OF THB BOERS C.P.R.

AND Eastern papers have been discussing with a great deal of warmth the proposal to send Canadian troops to uphold the prestige of the empire in South Africa. The Montreal Star has been most active of all the Imperialist journals in arousing the broader pauiuusm and caning upon' the government at Ottawa to profer Canada's services to the mother countiy in the present crisis. The Govcru- mfcutwas disposed lo hang back, tor whatever reason we know not, and several prominent Liberal papers boldly opposed the.sending of troops -.It'..has been more than .i.iiu:cl u.at French influence, was at the bottom of the premier's luKewarmness ana unfortunately too much color is lent .to"this view,by the sneet's at England and the open sympathy .-.villi the Boers which the French press of Quebec has indulged in. The Herald does not believe in saying anything which might prevent the genuine fusion which all good citizens hope may one day occur between the two great races of uns Dominion and the less said about the present l.ench-Canadian attitude toward the Empire the better. The Imperial compaign of the Star and:: other Conservative papirs has at least had the effect of forcing the government's hand. Premier Laurier and Mr. Tarte have at the 11th hour realized that it is dangerous to trifle wuu, or attempt to repress, the natural sympathies of Britons '��������� and the government organs have announced during the past few days that a. Canadian regiment will be held in readiness for active service in the Transvaal. It was such stinging and well deserved taunts ��������� as the following In the- Star that made the government's leaders jump into line: "Laurier says: 'Let us put off tue question unul we see what turns up.' "loday'tke press of Russia, France, Germany and Spain may point to the Canadian government's refusal to act as proof that there is uo British empire. "The foreign enemies of England ���������wanted this act of Laurier's to urge Kruger to hold out and to Tight in the sure hope that he would get allies. - " ��������� "If the news had been flashed around the world, 'Canadian troops are ready to* sail for the Transvaal'; Australian troops arc redy for th:: field,' what would have been the influence "and the inference? "Would it have produced increased Tespect for the empire, or a stimulated desire tc.attack it? ���������"; '"i ne foreign enemies would liave immediately said, "If we fight England we have to count on her colonies. If we strike the British Motherland, up will rise her great brood of possessions all over the world.'' "Canada is the greatest of England's colonies arid should have led the way. "The government of Canada can meet in council and without parliamentary? sanction can vote millions ������������������for��������� eontracts_to_ena.ble contractors to subscribe to election funds, but.lt . refuses .to vote a dollar to send ' a regiment to the Transvaal. "Canada can spend S250.000 for wharves in a few doubtful constituencies where the wharves tvill not be used, but it has not a cent to give to uphold the fiae* that protects us against the whole world. "Sir Charles Tupper has clearly intimated to the government cf Canada that his party will strengthen its :'��������� hands. But what is wanted is action, action, patriotic? action, not talk;and subterfuge. "Of whom is Laurier afraid in this Transvaal matter?" .������ To show thai French Canadian sentiment looks at this Question from a standpoint which Britons find it hard to understand, it Is only necessary to read such articles as ..the following, which appeared in La Presse, of Montreal: "Our "Warriors "The latest news announces to us that In Ontario there are 20,000 individuals, having nothing to do. who are ready to join and serve in the rear guard ln the Transvaal war. Those' 20,000 braves, of whom that excellent 'bombast,' Sam Hughes, Is the grand master and provisional col onel, demand that they be clothed, thai they be fed and that they be furnished with an insurance policy cn ineir lives. ;"--������, yes! , "There is some good patriotic job in that question. They are cute, the warrriors Who wish to cut old Kruger's whiskers, "Hardly three weeks ago the Western farmers were demanding men for the reaping of their harvest. Actually tliero are not enough laborers to push thc extensive work3 , which have been started bv the government, the railways, the wharves, etc. Little fjar that any of these fighters would prerent themselves to work with a pie!, rnd shovel.. "They nre much cuter than that Ine Imperialists. They will be clothed and 'he Canadians at large will pay for it; they will make a trip and .lean Baptiste will pay for it. "Oh. thev will ho: kill anybody��������� do not be -afraid. - if they succeed in their trick, those sustalners of the Old Crown, they will go very far��������� as far as the Cape, passing the island of Maderia, where good wine is to be had; via the Azores, where one ran suck the juice of the fruit, and The Transvaal ultimatum," fixing the hour at winch. President Krugar had made up him mind to let slip the dogs of war, says the Free Press iu a. very excellent article, was the natural climax of the events preceding it, and the crowning proof lhal the Boors have all along been resolved upon fighting. They are expected in some quarters to .wait for Groat Brilain to strike the llrst blow. But the ultimatum proved their 'determination to ho the aggressors in the war which their aggressions upon the Out- latidcrs have brought upon them. Whether President Kruger was led to that determination by the consideration that the best cluinco of denling the British a, heavy blow will be lost if the arival of the British arniv corps is waited for, or was forced ti it by the dilllculty of restraining tho fighting ardor of the Boers, there is no certain means of knowing.. iiiat both explanations are probably true is indicated by the fact that without waiting for the time limit, the Boers crossed the frontier and war was do facto begun. Onco it was certain that the Boer forces had set foot upon the tongu.;- liko. frontier of Natal, it was taken for granted that as much of that strip as extends from Laing's Nek; at iis northernmost point ,down '���������, to Newcastle, would . fall into their hands. They will thus be ? in possesion ? for a'time of a portionof the 'tongue of isatal, measuring 30 miles from the tip southward. -Farther downthan Newcastle, the, towns of ''.Dundee and Ladysmith have British garrisons, which may be .depended upon to give an account of .themselves. _~ rush across Natal from the Orange free ".������������������'; ���������---''' Uuuauary.". upon Ladysn ��������� 'hicli is 50 miles soulli of Newcastle, has been all along regarded as a card for an early Boer move. The garrison at Ladysmith was accordingly reinforced on Tues- I day by thc Gordon Highlanders and ' a contingent of Indian troops, and, ' so strengthened, was regarded as able to hold that point. Dundee, which is some 20 miles north of Ladysmith and 30 miles south of Newcastle, was garrisoned last week with about C000 men, that. force' being held suflicient to stem a Boer inroad from the Ziiluland border��������� across northern Natal" from the cast, as the expected inroad from Ladysmith would be from the west. Repulsing of these flank attacks is necessary to the success of the British -operations. Until the "British reinforcements arrive, Dundee and Ladysmith will assuredly be posts of danger for the troops garrisoned therein. ��������� When Sir George Colley tried to enter the - , ransvaal in 1SS1, he made Newcastle his advance base of operations, and pushed on to Laing's Nek. where he vvas checked. The Boers immediately, by flank attacks from the -mountainous borders, east and west, began to cut off his communication with Newcastle, ail made him turn back and 'fight th** losing fight lhat ended in the disaster of Majuba hill. When Sir Redvers Bullcr takes the field with the British forces now on their way to South Africa, and advances towards Laing's Nek to enter ihe Transvaal, be will make sure, as he advances, lhat al! behind him is safe froin all danger cf flank attacks.

TEA DRINKING A GOOD THING The fact that tea drinking, like smoking, is novv almost universal goes a long way toward proving it a general blessing. Tea is a stimulant. Under some circumstances it is as powerful a stimulant as whiskey. Rightly prepared and used in moderation it is unquestionably a good and a beneficial thing. So many cranks are apt to rise up and condemn every- thlng-in-tho-nature-of-stim.ulanis-t_.atJ it is gratifying to he able to give the opinion on lea of a distinguished an- alyist and scientist in the person of Br. Goodfellow, of London. .He.says: "The physiological effects of drinking property prepared tea in moderation are those of stimulating the nervous system, an increase of circulation, aud an. activity of thc sweat glands. The tea acts as a general rouser to the brain and higher nervous centres, and the increased circulation produces perspiration, so that the familiar saying that a cup of tea cools is scientifically- correct, as the increased How of perspiration leads io loss of heat from the body.'' Lest this should lead weak- minded people to become confirmed tea drunkards, It must be added that over-indulgence in lea is as dangerous to health as is the excessive absorption1 of alcohol. Above all things-, tea should'never.be. allowed. .��������� to boil, nor should it be taken immediately after the principal: meal of the day. Dr. Goodfellow '.'proceeds to say: "When tea is properly prepared and not taken to exeesii, it is practically non injurious,- ;ihd in these days of high pressure and quick living it is a question 'whether., some such form of harmless stimulation is not a.necessity in order to meet the conditions of modern life. "When tea. is badly prepared its use may become injurious. Badly prepared lea contains an excess of tannic acid, and this body acts most injuriously upon the digestive system. Many attacks of indigestion are brought on by drinking so-called 'strong' tea*at meal times.,! Tea drinking.when carried to excess/may also produce, in those who are predisposed to nervous complaints, palpitation of the heart, hyper-excitability, sleeplessnesE and nervousness, and those who are naturally of a.n excitable nature and suffer from n'ervoiifi complaints should bo careful not to carry tea drinking too far." These words of wisdom are well worth reading, remembering and acting upon. They arc from a high competent, authority and aro probably bomo out by the experience of overy intelligent person who likes a good cup of tea. Day ob wrath's.done comin' soon!

David Mills, in reply to an address from tlie Calgary Liberal association last wcclc, made, the-follow-!" ing references to the past, present and future of the North West: , "In regard to that portion of your address relating to my work while minister of the interior, I may say that when the government of Alexanr der Mackenzie was in office. 1 pre'- pared a measure at his instance for the government of these Territories. I then took .the ground that although it was necessary, at the beginning, to hnvo ajipointed council for the Territories, it was most 'desirable at tne very outset to provide thai the settlers in the Territories should have power to elect their representatives as the country progressed,, and that the persons so elected should, "r course of time, supersede those an pointed, and that the council should thus 'at, tho very earliest possible moment be entirely composed of lite persons elected by lhe votes oC thi peoplo. "Mr. Mackenzie acquiesced in that view, and thus': It was that you became empowered With the rights -jf local self-government. 1 have always take an'interest, in the Nortli i ...������������������.������������������,.,..,,.. West counlry, because 1 never was without confidence in its possibilities I visited Manitoba in 1S77, and then reached the conclusion afler a ti-'p through the prairies, thai It was one of the most fertile divisions, of the country, and .iny visit to various parts of the Nortli West in 1SS7, and 1S113, and again at the present lime, confirms the, opinion tliat I had previously .formed; You hnve a country here nearly as large as Russia.lliat is capable of sustaining a vory large population. Goldwin Smilli onco called Canada the ragged edge dr. off? llio. United States. ? No one is ol that opinion now. Only In recent vears the older provinces of Ontario and Quebec have discovered lari.'.e t-rclions of territory norlh of tlie height of land where people can sel- '..ic whov du .not eorne to the North West Territories nd llio adjoining provinces. These lands arc capahlo of settlement, and ot growing good crops, up the shores ot the Hudson s bay. As ,to this western part of th > Dominion'.' 1 sho no reason why. wilhin the next 25 years, you shou'd not have many times the population you now liave here.:" Tlie minister of justice hero pointed out lhat what the North West required was population ready and willing to till the soil. The towns wiil always take care nf ^jomselves, h*- said. They will always secure plenty of people if the farming region in the district whore they arc situated is well settled. As to the European'population, which was now coming from lhe continent, and taking up farm lands in the North West, the minister said he had no fears that they ,woulil not be absorbed and become good Canadians. 'I no no v severs come to tins country with no prejudices in favor of tho laws, language, or political institutions '.C the countries from wliich thoy como but with a desire simply to bctttr their condition, and to have.thc protection ot the English laws and lh~ enjoyment ot English institutions. "WTe have at present time." con tinned' the minister, ' hopes, wliich I believe are capable of realization, of a great future for this country, and ils ability to remain a portion of thc British empire, as much so as anv other portion of the empire���������as of the United Kingdom itsolg. I congratulate the people of the North Wesl on the bright prospects tbat lie before theni. and before the Dominion as a whole." :S-;6pm''P-fervisLnotZhel^ nerZ stdries'^t?

Much discontent' exists here owing to tlie presence of suspected Boer adherents. Troops arc kept uiider arms, and volunteers arc ordered to sleep booted and spurred ready for .instant action. The telegraphic line between Krati- ihnn .and Maritzaan has been cut and a strong command of Boers has occupied ._.e Kraaihan railway siding. Tho foregoing report is considered lo be correct, as late last night the war oflic had news of -a British advance from Ladysmith and was hourly expecting further intelligence. Tho Times Capetown-correspondent u=seits that the so-called Irish brigade which is fighting for the Transvaal i . a fraud, and that scarcely any men who are known to be Irish are in it. He added -.that Irishmen in the colony strongly resent the form i- tion of the brigade. Narrow Escape for Cecil Rhodes Capetown. Oct. li.���������Cecil Rhodes had a narrow escape from capture while on his way here. His traiii was delayed and he crossed the Mod- " der river three hours after the expiration ot the ultimatum, while the Boers -were only .'five miles distant and their spies actually on the platform. Rhodes lay low and was not recognized." Had- he been his, capture would have been easy,-as tho line .is not defended. He believes the strength of.the enemy has been greatly exaggerated and that they will not attack thc entreachments : The chief cause of anxiety is. the ignorance of their artillery strength.

He asked the soldlois to he ready for all emergencies, for none knew how greal a fire so small a spark might kindle. London, Oct. 17.���������According lo the latesL despatches on Monday from Durban tho Boer force that invaded Natal is estimated at 1G.00O men; A portion occupied Newcastle and . 1- vanced to D.umhauser, but retired back to Iguaane, owing to defective transport service. This delayed indefinitely thc assault of the Boers cu Natal. Tho invasion was started iu tin ee columns last Thursday through' tho Bolhas ' pasi.- Laing's Nek and Walkerscroom. Several thousand natives asisted in 'dragging . the guns over tne mountains. .The British' troops at Ladysmith and Dundee were disappointed at the retirement, -s they were looking forward to an open engagement. ., Funking an Engagement The news that the Boers had arrived at Daunhaitser raised hopes that they would risk an engagement in tho opon, but it is now ascertained that the detachment which reached there was only a small' advance body of Commanding General Joubert' main column. The advance of the Boers- was) accompanied . by some .looting of stores at Newcastle and Gagano. A lefugeo assorts lhat Commandant Vilkjocn's . command contains a surprising number "of Hollanders', Germans and Englishmen. It is assumed the refusal ot the Boers to accept a battle in Natal last week when General Sir George Stewart ��������� White advanced and endeavored in n. cl , ���������ii*��������� ���������*��������� ti 1*'tj������������������i���������,���������: draw them through the Van Rienenes Wm T.

On the ."her terview says: "I maintain that this war is being forced on the Boers by men who have never forgiven Ma- juba'hill. In my opinion owing'to Groat 'Britain's unpreparedness,' hostilities during thc next two months will resemble the international yacht Tace' off Sandy Hook: As there" cannot be" any serious fighting 'during that epriod it will be as dull as yacht races without wind.' We have plenty of time, therefore, to count, the cost and reclcon up the guilt of a contemplated - wholesale homicide in .ho Transvaal. Long before Christmas, I take, the fool' fury .of the Jingoes will have evaporated." Heavy Expenditure , Airesidv the government has expended .���������5.000.000 in naval and military pretentions,- the orders placed with contiactors- this week alone amounting to ������600.000. The authorities, anticipating a serious-reduction in the output of South African coal -i.iines. have ordered 5000 tons ~*f "Kngl'ih steam coal to be sent to the T-npe ror tiie use of warships. . ��������� Canadian Contingent for the War Ovtawa, Oct. 14.���������In view of . the urgent reasons for prompt action, the m.nisters decided yesterday afternoon to'carry out the arrangements which had ue'en .previously arrived at. ,- A i~^miimnclsUiony--from���������the^imperial au.iiorities *of the-home government agreeing to receive into thc army in South Africa a contingent composing a number of units .of 125 men-.each and certain officers, the highest of which will be major.

ENORMOUS TRAFFIC Inadequate Supply of Freight Cars to Meet the Grain Demand Montreal, Oct. M.���������Railway companies are experiencing an unprecedented demand for cars. Though the C.P.R. and the G.T.R. have made large additions both in passenger aud freight rolling stock, in anticipation of the very large increase in the general freight carrying business this autumn, they now find that with every car in use and with all those than can be obtained from the car companies, they are still short in roiling stock. This car famine is just as bad in the States as in Canada. Apart from the good crops in the great west of both countries the general freight business increased enormously over the last season. Anticipating a very large increase in the grain crop 'in Manitoba and thc North Wesl me' C.P.R. company increased the equipment of its western division between Winnipeg and Fort \\ Miani and the West. Through thc grain areas of Manitoba and thc i.AV.T. something like (1000 cars of grain crops have heen harvested a few weeks ago. The company ha_.~ moved 000,000 bushels of, grain up lo ���������v-e--ion'ay from the elevators In Manitoba and the North West to theii elevators at Fort William. According to estimates furnished tho company by Ils agents, there was in the elevutois In the district no less than .V...0,000 bushels of grain which will have to be moved east to make room for supplies from the agricultural districts. By utilizing its passenger steamers as freight boats the company has been ablo to move from the elevators at' Fort William to the cast and to the seaboard S.uOO.OOO bushels of grain placed in the elevators there Wring 2.500,000 bushels at present at Fort William. The company expects with its present equipment lo be able to move to the east froin Fort William something like a quarter milion bushels daily. o ELEVATOR COMMISSION Winnipeg.

POOR PROSPECTS FOR THE YACHT RACE. New York, Oct. 16.���������The prospects for the international yacht race are not ot the best. Today's show no improvement. ��������� Another gratifying statement has been issued- by the Dominion department of finance. The capital account was reduced a million dollars during the last three months. Col. S. B. Steele, commander ot the North West Mounted Police, in, the Yukon, arrived in Vancouver last week, having come down from the north by the Humboldt. He left the capital of the Klondike on Seo- tember 20th. Colonel Steele is retir- ine* i-'-om the command of the Yukon police, and leaves in the course of a, few days for Ottawa. Believing that the summons to the Canadiau capital means a termination of his services in the Klondike, the people of t-u. it district, Americans alike, have joined in ai petition to the Canadian government asking that he be restored to official life in the Yukon. And Others in Speeches Delivered at a Bowmanville Meeting Monday Bowmanville, Ont., Oct. 17.���������Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Mr. Mulock and Mr. Fielding were the loading speakers at an enthusiastic Liberal meeting yesterday afternoon. Dryden and Logan spoke briefly. Minister Mulock spoke at considerable length, dwelling on the increased prosperity of the country under tho Liberal rule and on the successful settlement of the Manitoba school issue by the Laurier government. This led liini to .speak of tha present campaign of the Conservative press in arousing racial hatred in tho matter of the South African contingent. Premier Laurier devoted his speech largely to the general questions of the day, congratulating the audience on the prosperity of the country, defending the position of the government on tho prohibition question and trade matters. Referring to tlie matter of the contingent he expressed regret at the attitude of the Opposition and read a cablegram, the governor general had received from Right Hon. Jos. Chamberlain thanking tho government for offering to send ono thousand men. He also announced that he had received n cablegram from Lord Lansdownc, the secretary of stato for war, staling that the Imperial government could uot allow an exceptional course in the caso of Canada, as 'compared with the other colonies and the Imperial government would therefore bear the expense of all lhe colonial troops after they wero placed in South Africa.

Tliis man Tarte must wish by this time that somebody had stepped on him long ngo. Even as short a while ago as the 12th he and his reptile elitors were doing their utmost to minimize the effect of the despatch of the Canadian contingent nnd rob it of ^he significance which it undoubtedly possesses as a solid proof of the unity of the empire. Here is tho kind of stuff his particular pet organ vvas getting olf on that date: *' In the Ottawa correspondence which La Patrie vvill publish this evening, the statement, presumably dictated by Mr. Tarte, is mnde that absolutely nothing has been done by the government vvith regard to the ......1: ������r .. .,_._tllii_,_i_.l In Ilia TpMfie. tunity of advancing Canada's interests and showing that the loyalty so loudly professed by himself was sincere. 1 hope thatall that is possible will ypt he clone by the government to repair the hlunder they have made and lo enable Canada to occupy the position to which it is entitled among the other loyal colonies of the Empire. - Sir Charles added tlmt. .any steps taken by the government to 'this-.' end would have his heartiest support. sending of a contingent to the Transvaal, the statement of the Toronto Globe to the contrary. The article says the government would be pleased to favor tbe volunteering of a, timnhpr of the militia, but does not believe that, public sentiment vvill favor the expenditure of any money by the government for that purpose." Lb Temps, the leading French- Ciuiadian newspaper, was ill-advised enough to take up the silly cackle as follows: "The Canadian government- does not take part officially in the African war. It vvill not raise any troops for Great, Britain, but only.facilitate individuals vvho may desire to go.atid fight the Boers. Not a single man, fibtone^ cent nor any official contribution oil- Hie, part of Canada to a war against the" liberty and independence of a brother nation���������such is tbe. decision nf the Liberal cabinet of Laurier. He deserves well of his native country." All* this- eager contention to make little of the Canadian contingent from au Imperial point of view vvas as false as it vvas foolish. The whole affairs of r loyal Canadian regiment are being hanJIlnd by the Militia Department of the CauadKiti Government, which will clothe, equipNtransport and pay the soldiers, of vvhomSt^consists. until it reaches Cape Colony>\The officers, who will command the regiment, are selected by the Canadian Government and derive tlieir authority from the Canadian Militia Act. Tarte and.his little gang of disloyal Quebec scribbler^ must be sorry they spoke. It is quite safe to say that had the Laurier government lieen senseless enough to follow out their ideas.^it vvouid have been svvept_put of -existence in a torrent of national indignation, Debs Lectures on Monday Night. The noted labor leader and orator, Eugene V. Debs, vvill give his famous leet ine entitled " Labor and Liberty," on Monday evening, October 23rd. at 8 p.m. sharp, in Tapping's hall, under the auspices of the Revelstoke Trade and Labor Assembly. Admission by ticket 50c. for gents; ladies 23c. Tickets can be obtained at tho wicket on the night of the lecture, also from the members of the assembly and R. P. Pettipiece and James Gill & Oo.~ The Springfield Daily Republic Times says editorially : ��������� A man terribly in earnest and impressing one as having a mission, clean cut as to both figurii and speech: a student of conditions and with a marvelous ability to mnishiil -facts together in an argument; a. man from the common ranks and evidently intended by ii'������t ore as a leader; ti man whom the whole country hns already ���������heaid from, and, no doubt, vvill again; a man evidently sincere and vvith a desire for the elevation of a man and the amelioration of,the hard social and industrial conditions of the day; an agitator who does not seem to be a ranter, but practical, evidently honest and willing-tn concede sincerity of opinion to others who may not agree vvith him: a polished speaker and a man moved by deep convictions���������all of this, Eugene V. Dehs impresses his hearers as being. ��������� ��������� ��������� * He appealed to reason and not to passion. The cause of labor is elevated, and a better understanding between capital and labor reached by such logical, fair minded and reasonable advocates on either si'de ns Eugene V. Debs proved to be." Such comment by the daily press means something, and lhat something is'that a new apostle has risen' in the vvorld'to unite and.lead from industrial bondage, the hosts of toil; that he has taken up his task with such profound conviction of its importance and such keen sympathy vvith suffering humanity that even the voice of natural opponents is hushed in respectful silence or finds expression, in spite of class interest and previous training in praise of the noble words and work of this remarkable man. This would-be traitor Tarte thought it would seem that he had achieved a lead-pipe cinch on the Dominion ar.d had approached within' measurable distance of owning it. The climate of Quebec is favorable apparently to these kind of illusions. But it would be a mistake to suppose that' the .Et-eiich-C.inadians_of-_Qtiebec___sympa^_ thize with Tarte's anti-Imperial predilections. That province vvill furnish itsshuiaof French-Canadians to the South African contingent,'both officers and men, who may he trusted to give as good an account of themselves as the drafts from any other province. At Ronville. a Frenc.h-Car.Hili.in village about 30 miles from Montreal.- on the occasion of the annual fair the despatch of the contingent was warmly endorsed and the Queen hiHirtily cheered. We niu.-t not lump for a moment our loyal fellow citizen-, of * ij Quebec province with Tarte and hii littlejgang of feather-headed traitors. But the obvious lesson of this most reirrettable incident is that itbehooves all loyal Canadians whether in Quebec or British' Columbia, or any other province of the Dominion, to take excellent good care that on tbe very enrliest occasion this man. Tarte, shall be deprived of any further opportunity of miscbipf. The times are too critical for Canada to tolerate at, the bend of her affairs disloyalty to the Empire, such as Tarte has openly displayed in this matter. He has failed of his aim this time, but his i.ffence cannot he condoned hecause it happens for once to have done no harm. In another crisis, which may be n more serious one, Tarte inieht possibly carry his treasonable designs to a successful issue. ? Sparring Exhibition.
