A Dainty and Attractive Display of thc Spring Fashions at the Madison M.lli- nery Parlors. The;iadies of Revelstoke this week have enjoyed iu the shew of millinery at the Madison Parlors a treat such as has never been surpassed either in Revelstoke or in many business centre.- of much gi eater pretentions. The display was very rich and varied and I be artistic designs in hats and toques weie so beautifully modelled as to call forth encomiums fiom the- most, lastidious. Amidst uhe charming and bevvildei- ing array thu hat which was perhaps the one most admired was a large picture hat made of black insertion straw, faced with tucked tulle and trimmed with tulle edged with narrow Saleucienie.s lace and-.finished under lhe Ini111 wilh n handsome black tip and jet ornament. Another design was a very handsome toque wilh gold and black over a soft-rolled brim ol white tulle finished with ribbon crown, the loops being caught, witli a handsome jet oruain-Mit and large black pompon flowers at the side. A third especially effective hat. wait Leghorn faced wilh black silk velvet antl sott luce edge trimmed with black chilfou and tips, finished at the side wilh n handsome long gold buckle. Again one particularly admired was a lame black hat, faced with black tucked chiffon, tlie upper biim of black and gold lace, a handsome black flower crown, with yellow centre triiiiiueil with black chiffon and osprey caught with gold and steel buckle. A dainty finish was a long black chiffon tie which was very effective. : ' A white chiffon hat wilh folded brim and caught with gold bunds, trimmed with lace run witn black baby ribbon and pink and white roses, was also .1 centre of attraction. Some .of -the. dainty effects in new flowers are tinsel roses and among'the new tiiminings gold and black aie very much in demand. , R. XV. Northey of Rossland went through to the coast last night.

Provincial Health ofiicer, in his leeent report upon typhoid fever and sanitation matters has the followinglosay lespecting the methods adopted by the Chinese market gai dt;ners: ���������'One more matter which I fear is entirely tnisuiidei.slood in this country is Chinese guldens. I found that in neiirljr all the families in whicli typhoid, infection* occnied it was the custom to get vegetables from Chinamen. Now, it is not generally known, hula fait, that vegetables can, and often do, cany infection. Of coiuse, most vegetables are purified by boiliug, but many���������such as salad and celery���������are served raw, This, 110 doubt, is the cause of iiKiii' trouble than is generally- supposed, and, therefore. I thought it my duty to visit some of the guldens, supplying Victoria. I only vibited Chinese guldens, and niu satisfied that, should the pal ions do the same, they will make a change. In manv of them pigs me kept. There-is no pietence ol keeping the place clean. The pens me simply an .'illumination, the yards jusl as hul. In two instances, I saw oif.il lying around, and fiom its condition must have been theie for some days. Such .tie some of the surroundings wheie niaikel, vegetables aie kepi. This is had, but nothing compared to the dirty habit all these Chinamen have of pieserving tlie urine for the fertilization and whitening of vegetables." Each garden has a barrel always full of urine; which is allowed to decompose so that, plenty of ammonia, develops. The vegetables are then finely sprinkled with - this. Outside this disgusting practice, the health aspect is grave, because these vegetables, unless cooked, will carry typhoid orother'diseases,-just' us sure as mill; or water. I would recommend thai, this matter be actively dealt with." - . "' , The large number of private' resi-. 'dents in the city who are accustomed' to put chase their vegetables from the Chinese peddling vendors who call with such persistently at ehir side doors, should carefully consider the above lepoi t.

COME AND SEE THEM. C.B. HUME &C0 In another column will be.found the declaration of .incorporation of the Revelstoke- Hospital Society taken from-the-B.-C. (-razette.=_The purpose of the society is there stated to be "lo establish and c maintain . a private hospital,for the treatment of disease." The expression "private hospital", is intended of course to convey the idea that the institution is not under government or municipal control but is -.undertaken - hy .private* persons formed into the society with the above title. It is obvious that the activity of* this society .is not "necessarily limited to the erection nf the proposed hospital building and the maintenance of the institution" theiein. They can go to'work "and open a hospital in town here tomorrow if they choose to do so. They can , rent -a building suitable for the purpose and commence operations right away. There is work right to their hands now, if they choose to do it and as things now'stand they are the only people,- wbo can do it. Right now in this town there is more than one serious- case being trealen in private houses and hotels, which should be cared for iu 11 properly appointed hospital.* Any day a railway or mining accident may bring half a dozen or more victims of some unforeseen catastiophe to be treated in town, whom tn send all the way to Kamloops or Golden would be to pronounce their death warrant. Il is for tlui trustees to consider these undoubted facts and the very serious responsibility in which they stand with regard to them. As far as the Herald knows, since the last hospital meeting no further steps have been taken to get subscriptions for the new hospital or members into the society. The Herald hopes to see a little more energy put into the work of the society and would suggest a meeting of members ������t an early date to discuss the advisability of starting' work at once in a rente.l building, the appointment of a committee to solicit fresh subscriptions, the filling of the ranks of the society witii inembeis and such like matters.

It -is lecorded that in her efforts to obtain exclusive iurisdiction.over the marbles this yonng lady not only kicked and sci .itched her little brother, but also spat at him.' - - v Paterfamilias, in administering a lecture apropos ofthe fracas,' passed lightly over the scratching and biting, as being perhaps manifestations of sex, hut the spiting struck him as 't specially heinous offense. , "My dear child," he said, reprovingly, "I can't see where you accquire such extraordinary habits, unless the devil himself 'puts them into yonr head." . ��������� ���������'1 think it was the devil who made ,me bile and kick," said thi.s sedate little minx, reflectively���������"but the spitting," she added���������"that was entirely my own idea."

The Height of Elegance A Report, Which Will' Probably be Soon Confirmed, That Superintendent Duchesnay is to" Receive Promotion and to bs Succeeded by Mr. Kilpatrick. There is a rumor prevalent, which the Herald hits good reason to believe is based on solid foundation that about the middle of the piesent month Supt. Duchesnay will receive promotion ancl will leave Revelstoke. It is further rumored that the new superintendent of this division is to be Mayor . Kil- patiick. The Herald gives this announcement as a rumor, which theie is good grounds for believing to be true, although there is no official eonfii m.'ttion obtainable. Revelstoke will hesotry to lose Mr. Duchesnay. since that*, geutleiuan has duriug his stay amoiiK us made friends in every direction by his unfailing courtesy aiid, willingness to oblige. On the gentleman, who is named as his -successor the Herald - need hardly dilate.. Revelsloke has enjoyed the advantage of his services on ihe city council now for three year's and at the last election r pat him in the chief magisti-ate's chair : by a sweeping majority. We know a', good man, when we can get one arid theie is uo doubt that the C. P.

The coal is certainly of no value in the ground, and until it is dug up and shipped the country realizes nothing on- it. "-In other words, it is not the coal, but the labor that counts. If 10,000 men", - instead of 900, can be put to work in * the Ciow's Nest so much the better for'. B. C. It is immaterial, .to -British Columbia where the coal goes to, so. long as it is paid for. It would be just as reasonable to ask Nanaimo or Cape Breton colleries to refuse to sell to the United States as to - ask.1 th'e .'Crow's Nest Pass , Company to do the same. " The company is now producing 1200 ' tons a day, but there is no -reason" why " it should not pioduca 10,000 or 20,000-��������� tons a day���������or for the matter, .of r that; - 100,000. Itsj capabilities are unlimited. "... The labor required for tbis production' must directly benefit Canada. .The - coal fields can not be moved. across the ��������� line. If the Canadian smelters did not get their fare share of the coal mined the government always has the , privilege of curtailing exportation*-, until tbey do. So much for tbe coal-. company. . * - , As to whether or not the Hill-Mor-" gan-Rockefeller syndicate should get their charter, this is entirely- another question. Cauada has already done far too much for railway companies.: Had it built the Crow's Nest lino ;as a "' government work and then given the free use of it to anyone and everyone requesting running rights over it, the government would have been ahead on the deal. Thatistosay.it cost. Canada, more to have the C, P. Rebuild the - Crow's Nest Railway than it would"- have cost to build it as a government' work." By hiving a charter to Hill the. ' Dominion government would, ".to' a" greater or less extent, repeat the error of the C. N. Hy. Hill would get the " statutory bonus and 'the people ab ." large would have lo pay for the road,"'" directly or indirectly. -..*." , ,. .c What the Dominion government should do.-and what the people of B.C.-*- would like to see them do, is to build this road as a government work. Ib should also expropriate the' "Crow's ���������" Nest Railway and the Crow's Nest coal fields and carry the whole business on as a government industry. The crowning error of Canadian history was in permitting these coal fields to pass into the hands of a private -company. A production of 100,000 tons -11. day���������and such a production is nob - an impossibility���������could, under govern- , ment owuership.-have been nride to pay the whole Dominion revenue. Handled over government railways ib would have left a handsome surplus to bedivided amongCanadians in all parts' of tbe Dominion in the form of a cheaper freight rates. If the government did its duty by the people ib would expropriate these railways and coal lands and operate them in the puhlic interest. It is a matter of only a very few"years until the government will be compelled to extend the I. C. R. to tbe Pacific coast, and the public' ownership of the Crow's Nest Railway and its branches would greatly facilitate this national undertaking." The government will also have to open a mint in the near future and there is no reason why it should not operate a. refinery in connection, thereby supplying a home market for Kootenay'a mineral production. , - This is the only logical and permanent solution of the smelter ami railway questions.���������Paystreak.

Airing himself in a London ballroom, he was pressed by his host to take part inthe worship of Terpsichore, bub for a longtime resisted. At last, moved by the statement that his supposed partner was exceptionally pretty and an heiress witbal, he relented. "Well, twot her out, dear boy," _ he drawled. He was promptly led up ' to tbe expected fair one, bub unfortunately she had overheard his remark. The introduction took place and the maiden, raining her pincenez, surveyed' him with a critical air for some score of seconds. Then, with a shrug, and a perfect imitation of tbe youth's lisping drawl, she said : "No' thanks, deaq boy; twot him back again."

All INCONSISTENT POLICY The remarks of R. L. Borden in 'me budget debate clearly define the eolicy of the Conservatives on the trade Question., -They have pronounc- ������___, in favor of an inter-Imperial preference ln trade. They desire to see tie products of the various portions of the empire protected within it3 bounds by a tariff high enough to' ' militate against" foreign competition. This policy is" of a far wider significance than a mere Question of Canadian industry or Canadian revenue. It affects every colony of the empire and il carried' into effect would' ��������� confer benefits incalculable opon Canada. Within thc bounds qf the empire there are industries and resources, of every kind so that protection based upon an inter-Imperial preference would virtually mean free trade within the empire and adequate protection for home industries. The Liberals'oppose this policy. They do not object to free trade within imperial bounds but thev desire-that \ it should be carried further so as to take in the the nations of the world and ..argue that the government of Canada has not the power to fix the trade policy of either Britain itself or other colonies. This may be true enough but tliere is no doubt whatever that the other colonies would he quite willing to meet Canada la s. scheme of mutual protection. The present time is yery opportune for the enunciation of such a policy. The federation of Australia does away with thc diffi- tulties of opening negotiations with a multiplicity of governments at the antipodes. The feeling in Britain against absolute free trade is rapidly SJining. It is felt there that tho industries feel the want of protection from foreign countries. Free trade frna destroyed to a great extent the asricoltural industry in England, thus sapping the great landed Interests which exert the most beneficent' in- ���������Silence ever-felt-by-a-nation--or-peop!e. Therefore statesmen of England are slowly but surely gravitating towards protection, and are believed to be ���������aot unfavorable to an inter-imperial preferential trade. tt can be seen at a glance the advantages that would accrue to Canada from protection in its favor in th'e markets of -the old land. The cattle of our Western ranches would oust the steers of Wyoming and Texas, and the stall- fed farmers' beef rrom New England, from their place on thc British mar- Vets and consequently Increase in value. Our lumber would take the ���������place of that now supplied hy the forests of Michigan and Maine and would command a higher price, while an embargo upon American wheat would raise the product of Canada greatly in value. It is true that Canada cannot djc-t tate thc trade policy of Great Britain or of sister colonies, but a grertt deal siay dc none in iniluencing lt-ana even to obtain its eventual ���������"'t'onsiimation. ���������*A.t*-the time of confederation none of the Canadian provinces had a right to dictate to the other and yet the scheme was. initiated anil carried to a successful-issue. One of tho planks of the Liberal platform of ISOS wns "tin restricted reciprocity" yet the carrying cut of that policy involved ���������what* the Liberals' now call "dictation" to n foreign government. The policy adopted on this p-ii.it by the Conscrvitives of Canada Is perfectly feasible and in accord with thc prowirs Imperial spirit.

We wish succees to Mr. Borden and his followers in the statesmanlike Ftand they have taken on the great question and which' if properly followed np will undoubtedly end in s,nc- ���������c-essful consumation. I I I remember an occasion when the scientific world received a veritable "message from Mara." which excited tbo liveliest interest and astonishment. I am not now referring to the admirable play which we have all enjoyed, and whose title is expressed by t.he words just written.. I am thinking of the meeting of tho British association, which was held at Plymouth in the year 1877. This particular meeting, otherwise memorable from the circumstance that th? marvellous instrument, which we know as the telephone was then first made known to somo of us. was by a singular coincidence tho occasion on which ono of Iho most striking astronomical discoveries of the century was first announced on this side of tho Atlantic. It was on August 11, 1877, that Professor Asaph ].Iall. using tho great refracting telescope in tho observatory of Washington, discovored two minute satellites revolving abaut' the' planet of Mars. Having taken another couple of night* to verify and complete his observations, he dispatched tho tolesram to Europe.which was read at thc British association. My reason in now referring to this matter of somewhat ancient history is to call attention to tho dato when discovery was mado. I should not perhaps say' the date���������-I shoui.l ss.v rather tho month, of the year. Asaph Hall's famous observation was made was in August.and this is a fa.t which all who deairo to see wonderful sights in Mars should lay to heart. They need never expect to obtain very nt-. tentive hearing from tho astronomical world unless thay a.ro ahlo to say their- observations of the planet have been made ln or about the month of August. No not, please, lot it inferred from this statement that Mars is in a favorable position in August every year. This, is. lndoe4. by no means "the case. For example. Mars is not at thc present moment in a reallv good position for observation; but next August is cannot bo observed at all.- Perhaps a tew words ot explanation will bo necessary. The earth and Mars and the sun come into line.' with the earth between the' two other'' bodice, ancn every two years-and two months, or'to be more" accurate, once everv 780 days. When thia is tho case Mars in said to be in opposition and comes on tho meridian at midnight. The planet is then in general much nearer to us than when he occupies in-_t.h*_r position. If tho orbits of tho earth and of Mars were each exact circles then the distance' between the earth and Mars at each opposition would of course be always the same: and accordingly every two years adn two months the planet would bo in a. good position for observing and even- one of those periods ot good seine; would he .equally advantageous with every other. But. the tracks of the earth and of Mars arc elipsis. *iut Circles. Mars, in fact, departs! so considerably from a." circle that the distance from the earth to the Dlanot at tho time of opposition Is in, some cases, twice as great as it is at other times.' We know, of course, that if the distance of an object ba ..c-ublcl the apparent size it present*, is" xc- duced ono fourth, and conseciuentJy the features or. S-Iars are seen four times as well during favonb'o op] o- sitions as they are at unfavorable. We thus obtained u iruide as to thc occasions on which the planet can be seen to the greatest "possible advantage. Thc point in the earth's track whicli approaches most closely to the orbit of Mars is that which our earth occupies on August 2G in each year. On that particular dar- the earth passas between the sun and the point in the heavens in which Mars must be situated when he Is nearest to the sun. In like manner, on February 22 in each year, the earth passes between thn sun and that point in the heavens in which Mars must be situated when he is at the greatest distance from the sun. We can now readily obtain the principles which will guide us in determining whether an opposition is or is not favorable to the study of the features of the planet. If it should happen to take place on February 22 "it would be about as unfavorable as possible, for-if-thefopposition-happenedT:it-any other time of the year, the earth and the planet would be nearer together. We thus see that we have by that date alone u very fair test as to the,-'*xpellence of any opposition of Mars'aor the purpose of a minute scrutiny of its surface. The nearer that date is to August 26, the better the opportunity, while the nearer that date is to February ?.-", thc worse tho opportunity. For an opposition of Mar*-, to take place at the .most unfavorable time Is a snmc-wliP.t rare occurrence fr. dirt'-- owever. har.nen iii i_>77. .when the opposition occurred on Septemho. ."> which was onH- 10 days after the best conceivable d.i!<*. It was' the kuo-iv ledze of this eircurast'in'"-.* whirl, induced Professor Asaph ir.ill*-to-tako' advantage of this evcoDtional opDor- unlty. and ^o undert.-ilce that, narofu": search in" 'ths* sa-Celliti"- of Mars wr_i_.h*'*was orownrvl with such "<���������- rrfarl'a.ble success. .Those of r.st *-yhn remember the -iDpearnncR' of Mara" as -i clorious rucldv^nrh in the autumn of 1877 will pn=*ily apnrp-Matp. the significanc" of azt oppositini which occurred at thy rishi timo Vv'--> had they are to be seen now. when tho opposition is about as bad as lt could he. If theso wonderful things , had. veritable existence, it would not be in January or February that we should bo reading of thorn; for, as already remarked, in such months as theso we can never oxpect important observations to be mode -of Mars. No one who has ever looked at the glory of that planet In an August or September opposition, and its comparative feebleness when the opposition occurs ln less favorable months, will hesitate for a moment in viewing with very gravo doubts any statements of alleged signs in the planet at tho present time. I do not, indeed, go as far as to say that it is absolutely imposRlblo for a discovery to be mado about the globe of Mars at a February opposition, but the imsrobability of such an achievement is so exceedingly great that an unusual amount of testimony of the very strongest kind would be required to outweigh the presumption against it. -Por this reason alone, eveu if there were not many others, astronomers attach no importance whatever to to certain statements about Mars which havo recently obtained considerable circulation. Whether there aro Inhabitants on that plant we have not tho slightest idea. Even if there are inhabitants it would bo extremely doubtful whether they ure conscious of the existence cf tills earth or feel any desire to communicate with us. But we mav be certain that if there arc 'inhabitant.*! on Mars, and if they have been =o ill advised as to have chosen thc present time for making efforts to cause some demonstration which b1ir.11 bo perceptible' on this earth, then their astronomical knowledge must he in a deplorable condition. They have chosen as the occasion for such efforts the very worst possible opposition. If the Martians are Intelligent they ought to know that a signal to he perceptible two miles off has to be four timed rs big a-a a signal perceptible one mile of?, and that consequently they would be making an utterly foolish waste of their powers if they attempted any communications at a time po inappropriate as the present. ' WRONG BODY . Fnneral Delayed Denver, Col., March 20.���������Tlie funer-" al[had to be postponed because' tho wrong body was* in the coffin. The mourners were on hand, the undertaker' was solmeuly- watchful, the guests were sympathetic, but, when the coffin lid was lifted another face than the one expected confiont- the beholders. ��������� ��������� Tho funreal was fo have he^n lipid at Colorado Springs. The exchange of dead bodies was made at Denver. Who made thc mistake is a matter of dispute between the Denver undertaker and the assistants at the semi- charitable home in this city.'with the burden of proof on the home. The body to be buried was that oi n 10 year old boy. The lad died here and the body was turned' over to the undertaker with instructions to have it in Col- orada Springs by Sunday morning, as thc funeral was to take place then. Tlie undertaker's assistant received it from the home and -dressed it according to instructions. Owing to a "delay tht-y came near, missing the scheduled train nt ���������( o'clock, but with a little haiits and some rapid driving tbey succeeded iii getting the body lo the Union station in time for the train. When the train arrived at the Springs the body was taken oS. It lay in the freight depot till next morning, when it was taken to the residence of the father of the boy. Tbe coGin was put in place in the parlor of thc- sorrowful home about an hour before the time scheduled for tho last rites. When the lid was taken from the coffin it was readily seen thnt a mistake had been made. A wrong body had been shipped. ' Telegrams were sent to the undertaker telling ot the great mistake. The latter replied that tha mistake had not been noticed till he rpcetved the telecram. He was: willing to make amends, but under the circumstances, ittle could be don<->.

Mr. Cook was effusively greeted by his newly-found allies of tho Conservative party, and by somo of those with whom he had formerly been associated in Liberal ranks. His face wore a nervous smilo as he towered over every other figure in tho room. Chas. Marsh was present as private counsel for Mr. Cook. Mr. Ritchi<2���������Were you a candidate for appointment to the'senate? Mr. Cook���������Yes, from 1896 down till tho failing of Sir Oliver Mowat's resignation. The first interviews I had were after-Sir David MacPherson's death, with several members - of the government. My interview with Sir Oliver Mowat was not very pointed, that is Sir Oliver gave me no definite promise of support. Sir Richard Cartwright I next saw. ��������� He told me there was one gentleman who had claims on the party over me, but that Senator Ferguson was at ttiat time very ill and'could not-last long,'and' that in caso of hia -demise - the other gentleman , anA I could; take- seats .oh the floor of the senato at the, same- time. Sir Richard did not tell me who the gentleman was; but "I knew it was George A. Cox of Toronto. Sir Richard said this gentleman had more recent claims on party than I had, and I quite agreed to this. Mr. Ritchie���������What was the nature of the claim? Mr. Cook���������It related to the elections. Mr. Ritchie���������Was it in connection with the stump? Mr. Cook���������No! Senator Cox never took the stump. ' Mr. Ritchie���������How was it then? Mr. Cook���������He assisted in money. Reference was then turned to the matter of private correspondence between Cook- and_M. C. Cameron,' now dead, copies of which Mr. Ritchie produced. Mr. Blake objected to production of alleged copies until it was .ascertained whether or not the originals were to be had. This objection, however was overruled and the letters were read. Correspondence began August 24, 1S5G. and related to efforts Cook was putting forth to secure 'the appointment. Cameron had seen several ministers on behalf of Cook and referred to the claims of the various candidates for appointment. Mr. Comeron showed him a letter in Toronto from Sir Richard Cartwright which Cook read. Mr. Ritchie ��������� Do you, remember what the letter said? Mr. Cook���������It said that .Cook must surely do" something in this connection, that is, in connection with the senatorship. I asked Cameron what something meant. He said it meant 510,000. I was indignant at the proposal and said I would not pay one cemr"as~T~deservedi the "appintment'iif return for my services'to the party. I met Mr. Cameron in the course cf the week following, and was accompanied by my solicitor.S. C. Biggs.' Mr. Cameron then repeated his offer, which I declined to accept. My efforts to seure this appointment then ceased until after the next vacancy occurred. Mr. Ritchie���������Did you get possession of the letter from Sir Richard Cartwright? Mr. Cook���������N'oi- Cameron said Sir Richard .had told him iiot to part with it. Sir Mackenzie Bowell���������Were you suro or Sir Richard's handwriting? Mr. Cook���������Yes; I would swear to it. 'Mr. Ritchie���������Did you' renew your correspondence with Cameron? Mr. Cook���������Yes; and I received a" letter in reply stating that IJ. Jhad refused to play the cards and therefore lost the game. I understand this referred to my declining to put up 310.000. Mr. Cameron said in his letter that he intended leaving the government to select tho men " for office as they chose.- Tn December, 1897, and May, 1898, I again saw Sir Richard Cartwright with regard to a senate vacancy. I told Sir Richard that Ar. C. Cameron had demanded $10,000 from me on a former occasion for a call to the senate. Sir Richard replied: "Well, Cameron wanted to get some money for Ttdrty pin poses, and took thjs means of obtaining it." Mr. Ritchie���������Who was It had mentioned that amount? Mr. Cook���������r think Sir Richard aairt Cameron suggested that amount. Sir Mackenzie Bowell���������Sir Richard bad not objected to the offer being mndc? Mr. Conk���������No: he knew Cameron wns going to make it? ' Correspondence wa3 then produced between Cook and Cartwright which comprised requests from the former right aloiis;, after the offer from Mr. Cameron, which showed that Cook was far from being discouraged as far back as 189G. It was not till July 30, 1899. that Mr. Cook announced in a letter to Sir Wilfrid that he was no longer, a candidate for appointment to tho senate. Mr. I-titcliie���������Did . anyone ever suggest n proposition to you besides Mr. Cameron? Mr. Cook���������No one. I-have, joked wlth-JMr. Sutherland,. Dr. "Landerkin and others, with regard to'the'$10,000 Dr.' Landerkin���������I guess tho $10,000 was a joko all around. Mr. Marsh here jogged the witness' memory in regard to a conversation he had with W. T. R. Preston just beforo the Kerr appointment. Mr. Cook���������Yes; Mr. Preston came to my office saying ho had instructions from Ottawa to tako .$10,000 for a senatorship from me. I forget whether Ue said Sir Richard Cartwright or the government had told him to seo me, but I told him I would not pay the money. Mr. Preston then said that If I did not pay the money I could not have tho appointment. The government was very anxious, Mr. Preston said, to give Cook the appointment, but could not do it without the payment of $10,000; thay wanted the money for party purposes. Mr. Blake���������How was it you did not remember this conversation with Mr. Preston when Mr. Ritchie asked you in the flrst place? Mr. Cook���������I did not think of it at the time. Mr. Blake���������Your memory must bo very defective nnd may bo equally at 1 fault in other connections. Objection was made to a cross- examination which would necessitate disclosing tho names of Mr. Cook's chief witnesses hut this was not upheld. It was announced that the two chief witnesses to support Mr. Cook's main charges nro Frank McDonnell and Mr. Hancock. Just before the committee adjourned, Mr. Blake put a further question with regard to Cook's conversation with Cartwright, touching the Cameron request for $10,000. Mr. Cook said he asked Cartwright whether- that gentleman had authorized Camsron to make the offer. Mr. Cook said that in reply Cartwright told him tho money was wanted by Cameron for party purposes and ho (Cartwright assented to it.r ,. In further cross-examination Mr. Cook qualified the word assent - as applied to Sir Richard and'said the minister had not used the word'assent. o London, March 25.���������PririceEs Beatrice may become Queen Consort of Holland by virtue of her marriage to tho Grand Duko Weimar to whom ehe is eng&ged if Queen Wilhelmlna' does not give birth to a child.

J., while its. inhabitants were asleep this morning a'nd reduced ' 11 buildings, stores _and residences, to ashes. The conflagration was extraordinary in its.character and its origin. ...,,,-.-" ,, The village is" in "a valley":alqhg the' line of the Jersey Central ' railroad. An immense freight train was coming east at 6:30 a.m.. It, was com-', posed - of a string of coal cars and. 18 'tank"' cars. High- above the village the track of the railroad ran along the side of a mountain. They descend as they approach the village, but 'even at the station are considerably above the main street, which runs up to tho depot at a steep incline. ��������� A few ��������� miles west of the village while coming down the incline around the mountain, the train parted. Tho engineer on the forward end .'pulled open the throttle of the engine and tried to race away from the section, which" was increasing its speed every second. He managed to keep clear of the racing cars until he got opposite the depot at Glengarden, when the second section smashed into the first., ' The first section, composed of, coal cars,' was going at a high rate ot speed .and none of its cars were jolted off tho track. The forward cars, one of the oil tanks of the railway section, was hurled sideways across the track and the tank cars behind were piled up the top of it in every way. , The first crash caused" the oil in one of the tanks to explode and ignite and the terrific heat caused .the other cars to explode" one after the other. The .incline running from the depot to Main street acted''as a sluice for the burning oil and it poured into the chief thoroughfare of tho village, setting fire to everything it touched. Houses, fences, trees, shrubbery* and barns .were reduced to ashes in an incredibly short time.. Villagers awakened by the explosion rushed from the' oncoming flood of blazing oil, carrying children in their arms. Some risked their lives to free, howes, cows and dogs in outbuildings, but other unfortunate animals could not be reached in' time and were burned. JWithln flve minutes after the first explosion tho flowing river of oil had "reached, the Masonic temple in the heart ofthe village and 10 minutes later that structure was enveloped in flames. -���������TEen--huildihg-after*-building*4g-- niled after the oil reached them, and within half an hour- the area of 400 feet square . was a mass of flame. From the wrecked oil cars the - oil also flowed down the incline of the railway ..track, making a long line of. fire that destroyed the ties and twisted on bent rails. Loss-$85,000 to $90,000.

THE CHINESE WISH BRITAIN TO AID
IN CURBING RUSSIAN DESIGNS
IN MANCHURIA.
Premonitions of a Gigantic Struuele.���
Praying for War.
London. March 2C.���The Chinese
minister. Sir Chieh Chen Lofenm Luh,
called at the foreign office yesterday
afternoon and urged the British government to bring pressure to bear in
order to prevent Russia from securing
tho necessary signatures to the Manchuria agreement. The government
was still in tho dark last nieht as to
whether the agreement would be
signed or allowed to lapse when the
ume expires which is today (March
62). The officials of the Japanese
legation are inclined to believe that
rtussia- will succeed in getting the
necessary signatures.
The situation is still moro complicated owing to the fact ascertained by
a representative of tho Associated
Press that there are 2 secret treaties,
ono of which is to bi sinned at St.
Peteresburg dealing with Russia's control of the military situation In Manchuria, and anotner to he s'.&ned at
Pekin dealing with her cull powers.
The Chinese appeals for sunport have
failed to produce any direct ri'-nonse
from Great Britain or .-.pparently
from any other power to St pptoi��-
Tmrg for Russia pprsisto.iu adheres
to her contention that thc secret agreements concerns no one but herself and China. On this ground
Great Britain's request for copies ot
the agreement was abruptly declined.
It is explained at the foreign office
hore that it would be dangerous and
useless breach of procedure to endeavor to enter upon expostulations
with Russia which would only be
based upon information supplied by
the Chinese. in other words the
copies of such treaties and alleged
modifications of them recently given
to the powers are worthless documents and will remain nucn until
Russia herself chooses 'to communicate the terms of the actual treaty
and modifications.
To" the 'fear of domestic revolution
is added.the,dread of war with China

Chronicle, .professing to be able to
give an outline of the negotiations
betwen Lord Kitchener and General
Botha, says:
"Tho chief ��� obstacle to a settlement
was Lord Kitchener's refusal to grant
complete amnesty to the leaders of
the rebels in Cape Colony. He offered solf government on tbe lines, of
Jamaica immediately upon the cessation of hostilities, with a legislature
partially electod by the burghers.
"The government agreed to provide
��1,000.000 to compensate the Boern
tor their property destroyed and
articles commandered by the Boers
on commando, provided the signature
of the officers who commandered thc
goods was forthcoming. He also
offered to grant loans on easy terms
for rebuilding and restocking farmsteads. Moreover . he agreed that
children should be Instructed in English or Dutch at the discretion of the
parents.
"The government undertook to
make no claim on .church property,
on hospitals or upon private investments. No burgher of either state
was to be allowed to possess a rifle
except by special license. .
"General Botha was generally in
favor of these condtlons, but he dissented strohgly from a proposal to
give the full privilege of citizenship to
properly domiciled and registered,
blacks. He was also * greatly concerned about, the position the "Jewish
capitalists * would occupy ' in the
country" and 'fold that ' Jews and
Christians would'enjoy equal' rights,

matter of'concessions: " ,.'_-.

be replaced by a civil administration, but it is tho desire of his majesty's government as soon us circumstances will permit, to establish
a representative government on cessation ot hostilities, a high court Independent of the executive .shall be
established to administer laws. Land,
church, property trusts, and orphan
funds shall be respected. English and
Dutch languages shall be taught in
pnblic schools and in law courts. Legal
debts ot the state to the amount of
��1.000.000 shall be paid, even if contracted during hostilities to .-the extent that creditor proves he has
siven value. The - government does
not intend to extend the franchise to
Kaffirs in thc Transvaal and Orange
River Colony before representative
government is granted. The conditions regarding assistance to burgher
farmers, fire arms, etc., are the
same as those in Kitchener's replies
to Botha.
Milner adds, that he agrees to the
above except as to desires for modi-
cation regarding British subjects in
Cape Colony and Natal in ihe Boer
army, who. if they returned to those
colonies, would not be able to be
dealt with under the laws of those
colonies passed to meet circumstances; He adds: - . ( "
