Lon'don, April -i.���Tiie war offico has posted :i dispatch from lord Roberts reading as follows : Bi.okmkoxtuIiV, April 2. -2:30 p.m. ���In continuation of my telegram of March .'Usfc, there has been considerable delay in getting accurate returns of the casualties, its tho action took place 22 miles hence. The telegraph cable has been interrupted several times, doudy weather has intcifsired with signalling and although there has been no engagement since, the force is continually iu touch with the enemy. "There were many acts of conspicuous gallantry displayed during the day. *Q' battery remained in action under a cross-fire at 1300 yards for some hours, the officers serving the guns as the casualties reduced the detachments. Several gallant attempts were made to bring in two guns, the teams of Avhich had been killed, but at each attempt the horses were shot down. The Essex, Minister, Shropshire and Northumberland mounted infantry and Roberts' Horse covered tho retirement of the guns fiom that position to the oiossing of the drift found by the cavalry two miles further south, and withstood the determined attack of the enemy, who, in some cases, advanced 'within a hundred yards. '���'U' battery of the Royal Horse artillery was suddenly surrounded in the drift, and the officers and men were all made prisoners without a shot being fired. Rut major Taylor and a sergeant-major succeeded in escaping in the confusion. Five guns were captured at the ' Sji%Jic time. Further details tomorrow." Lord Robei ts' dispatch seems to linally dispose of the earlier le- port of the guns, and the fact that the Beers remain in occupation of the watei'woiks is taken as an indication that they intend to make a stand sufficiently long to cover -the withdrawal oi" the guns .and wagons to a place of safety, although the absence of definite information regarding the movements, of general French's* cavalry makes" it difficult to estimate the chances of their recapture. intelligent young Puerto Ricau, arrived today on the Caracas, and wtis arrested on the charge of a violation of the contract labor law on complaint of an organizer of the American Federation of Labor. Kruz came here under contract with au American firm who declare their intention of fighting the case. BOER VERSIfW OF BATTLE Their Casualties.

According to the ,icpOrts of the wounded who have arrived here, lighting occnri'ed all along the line. The federal troops had positions on the side and top of tho mountain, " while the~British positions were-on opposite side of the hill. The Biitish charged repeatedly, but Were repulsed. The latest reports say that tho federals Mere holding their own, but the final result of the ^fighting is not known hero. The federal loss was nine killed and wounded.

BRITISHERS' CREAT PLUCK Boer Brutalities. Bushman's Kop, April: 2.���Hearing that, the waterworks were deserted, the correspondent of the Renter's Telegraph Agency rode forward today. Arriving at the crest of the hill, a volley was fired at him and a moment later a man appeared at the top of the crest. Calling on hini to stop firing, and saying he wa's unarmed and desiring to talk with him, the correspondent discovered that this man was an American who declared that he accompanied the Boers only as a sightseer. He said that never during his whole life had he witnessed such magnificent pluck as that shown by the British on Saturday, and he asserted that not only himself, but the Avhole Boer army were profoundly touched with . admiration at their gallant behaviour. It appears that the Boers never doubted their ability to capture the whole British force, aind were dumbfounded at the courage displayed and at tho masterly way in which the force was able to escape from the death trap. The correspondent's informant refused to give any information regarding the Boer forces or their movements, ���but it appears that the present force was detached from Kroonstaadt, joined the Ladybrand force, and again went north to Thaba Nehu, one portion following the other and meeting colonel Broadwood's retreating force. The burghers engaged consisted of Sehoe- man's commando, which was accompanied by many foreigners. Coni- fnatulant John II. Blake Avas present with the Irish brigade and other foreigners. The fight was marked by many acts of individual courage. The QUEEN IS IN IRISH WATERS first man to warn the British of the ambush" was a sergeant of the army service corps, who shot a Boer dead with his revolver. A Household cavalry man, who was sum- monded to surrender, threw his rifle in"his captor's face, knocking him over, and escaped. The Boeif, undoubtedly shot sev-��� oral of the prisoners and also killed some of their own meu, who advanced to demand the British surrender. Bushman's Kop, April 2.���Later -' According to the testimony of eye witnesses the Boers shot some of the prisoners; but the confusion was" so great, the fire proceeding from all directions and the Boers firing upou the convoy, in which their own men were killed, that it is impossible to say exactly what happened.- -Explosive bullets-have- been found in the bandoliers of some of tho Boers who were captured. The enemy pursued the British for mile", killing, wounding and taking prisoners. One squadron of tho Sixth Dragoons, which Avas the first in the action 110 strong, mustered at the end only ten mounted. The Boers seemed to be in great strength throughout the district and are signalling ou al! sides. A large body is reported moving houbhwest of Bloemfontein in the direction of the raihvay. Duplicate machinery is aA'ailabJe to replace that which the Boers dostioyed tit the Avafeerworks. The British troops are in urgent need of remounts. Enthusiastic Reception. Duiimn, April 4.-12:20 a.iu.���In spite of the rain that was falling aud the huge puddles of Avater under foot, the arrival of queen Victoria in the Royal yacht,Victoria and Albert, off KingstoAvn was the occasion for much enthusiasm, although this did not take an organized form oAying to the fact that her majesty came several hours ahead of schedule tiine. The passage of the channel was smooth and the queen suffered no discomfort, although she expressed regret at the premature departure from Holyhead, wliich was OAving to a fear that the threatening Aveather conditions might cause her Irish subjects disappointment. It had beeu officially announced that she Avould reach-Kingstown at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, instead of 2 p.m., but at the latter hour, the Victoria and Albert loomed up through the haze and rain and Avas greeted by the thunder of 21 guns from each ship of the British channel squadron. Thousands had poured into Kingstown regardless of the pelting rain, "which luckily ceased about 5 o'clock, and they braA'ed the cold winds and mud until midnight. The celebration was confined to an illumination aijd to a few fireAvorks here aud there. A shining, shaui- rock stood out against the blackness of Dublin bay, and from the Jackies clustered on the decks of the squadron came strains of "God Save the Queen," which were taken up Avith a Avill by the crowd, and Avhen "Soldiers of the Queen" floated across the quiet water, the spectators on-Kingstown pier joined in with c qual fervor. Although all political conditions are represented in KingstoAvn there AAras no attempt at a counter demonstration. In fact, the evening's fireworks, singing and cheering AA'ere 'not marred by any ^hostile note, and the entry of the queen 'into Dublin today (Wednesday) Avill probably bes a. repetition of a similar friendly celebration. Mrs. Catherine ^leyers,. aged 32, Avife of a coal driver liA'ing in this city, this afternoon killed her two children, a daughter three years old and a son one year old, by throwing them into a cistern under the flooor in the kitchen. Sho threw herself into the cistern, where the bodies were found at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. Meyer left a note addressed to her relatives, .which AA'as Avritten rather hastily, but said in substance that she owed a grocery bill.of one dollar and that the grocer had refused to trust her for any more supplies. . The letter said nothing about committing suicidef and it is supposed that she was temporarily insane and brooding over her f:\ilurp/to obtain credit at the grocery Avhen she committed the shocking tragedy.

London, April 4���0.40 a. m.-~No news has yet been received of the expected battle between general French and the Boers. There is now but a remote prospect of the recapture of the guns. The Daily Chronicle, whose Cape Town correspondent joyfully predicts that the Avar Avill be1 over in three months, says: "in order to re-establish our position in the Fiee State Ave need a brilliant success won on the scene of our latest reverse." It is announced from Springfontein that the censorship has again curtailed the dispatches, therefore important de- opments must be impending.

Ottaava, April 3���[Special to The Tribune].���Colonel Prior asked in the house today for the correspondence shoAving^ why colonel Vince, New Brunswick, and colonekWhite, Guelph, were left out of the staff corps by the minister of militia, although selected by general Hutton for the same. The'reasons given by Hutton were that they Avere dabbling in politics. This reason was afterwards countermanded by Hutton on instructions fiom Borden, who said ibab they AA'ere too old and had been on the retired list and in the case of colonel White he had lost part of one hand and AA'as maimed. Borden gaA'e these reasons again today, stating that Hutton had no authority from him to pay that politics had anything to do with it. Besides this Boi den read two letters, one from colonel Ayl- mer who is uoav in command, and one from colonel Foster s-tating that Hutton had instinctcd them not to go to Borden's office if the minister asked them, aud if lie (Hutton) gave them permission at any time to do so they Avould be required to go to hiinjind_tcll_whatever Borden said.

Ottawa-, Apiil 3.���[Special RAILWAY CIRCULAR WHICH Affects Nelson Jobbers. The following joint circular has been issued by the Canadian Pacific, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, aud Spokane Falls & Northern railways: Agents at destination Avill not distribute carload shipments of property among two or more consignees. Ageuts will not send notice of arrival to more than one party, and-will make only one expense bill for the charges on the entire carload. In case one party will not accept notice of the arrival as consignee and pay the charges on the entire carload and take delivery of same, agents are required to make separate notices and expense bills, and correct the way bill and collect on each shipment at the less-than-carload rates. The carload rates under this classification are not applicable:-on freight consigned to railway agents, or to company's cartage agents for delivery to various parties." The enforcement of this rule by the raihvays means a great deal to local jobbers, preventing, as it does, the distributing of carload lots among the smaller consumers, a custom which prevailed until recently, and admitted eastern jobbers into direct competition Avith the local: firms. This reform was promised several months ago by the raihvays concerned. The circular, "which is quoted from above, Avas receiA'ed yesterday by the local agents, giving them more precise instructions in the matter. NELSON LOCAL NEWS.

The forger who victimized Nelson merchants Several months ago, by forging the signature of J. A. Hon- oyiaan to checks for different amounts, was in Nelson, again last Aveek and repeated his previous performance. This forger is probably tho cheekiest crook that has operated in Kootenay. Upon the occasion of his first visit he forged the signature of J. A. Honey man of the local foundry to sevcral_eheeks,~ induced local merchants to cash them, and before the forgery Avas discovered got out of toAvn. Most crooks are satisfied Avith victimizing the people of a city once, but this one apparently is not. lie evidently considers the people of Nelson easy game, for he not only returns to defraud them by forgeries, but even duplicates his performance by forging the same signature that he used upon the previous occasions. So far, three forged checks haA-e been reported to the police, all for small amounts. The latest issues are in the same handwriting as the firs-t the chief difference being that the forger used the name of George Murray last Aveek instead of George Burbank as before. Of the three checks reported so far, ono Avas cashed at the Athabasca saloon and another at tho Lakeview hotel. Not one of tho three persons avIio cashed the forger's checks have anything like a distinct remembrance of him, so the police are rather much at sea. On both occasions the checks were cashed on Saturday night, aud this time the thief netted nearly $10. One of the victims avIio is a friend of the chief of police, told the chief he thought Mr. Honeyman had made a mistake, as the check AA-as drawn on tho Avrong bank. The chief glanced at the check, and then expressed the opinion that it Avas the victim Avho had made tho mistake. Horton Law Repealed. Ai.hanv. Ncav York, April 2.��� Governor Roosevelt has signed assemblyman Loomis' bill repealing the Horton laAV. Two Other Cases. Judge Forin presided at a criminal sitting in the court house yesterday, disposing of three cases in which the defendants had applied for a speedy trial. II. II. BoAvden Avas sentenced to tAA'o years' imprisonment, EdAvard Clayburn received a similar term and Thomas Sanderson was discharged. The first case taken up Avas that of Bowden,. who was brought into court by chief of provincial police Webster and acting officer Beer/by Avhom Bowden was arrested in Spo-��� kane. - After the charge, that of. stealing $600 from the Hall Mines smelter, was read, Bowden pleaded guilty. W. A. Galliher, the prisoner's counsel, made an eloquent appeal on his client's behalf, placing stress on the fact that Bowden's record Avas clean, and soliciting the clemency of the courb. Judge Forin remarked briefly on the serious nature of the crime to Avhich Bowden,��� had pleaded guilty, and then imposed the sentence of two yairs' imprisonment in the penitentiary. The prisoner received the sentence stoically. S. S. Taylor, Q. C, re- % presented the crown. Sanderson Avas thpn arraigned - and pleaded not guilty. The charge against him. was that on the day folloAving the accident in February last on the CroAv's Nest road, east of Creston, he stole a money packet containing $150 intended for the agent at Creston. C. P. R. detective Jansen sat beside S. S. Taylor, Q. C, who conducted the prosecution, and W. A. Galliher & P. E. Wilson appeared for the defence. The.express messenger to whom the package of currency had been com mitted, and other members of the "ereAV of the wrecked train gave evidence. His honor decided that the evidence did not AVarrant a conviction " aud discharged the prisoner. Clayburn, the last of the trio, was,placedjin the dock and pleaded not guilty to the charge of stealing a sum'of money supposed to be, about $170 from a roomer at the Clarke hotel. It Avas demonstrated in evidence that the informer had indulged freely in liquor on the 28th of February and had gone to his room at night Avith the money on his person. Clayburn �� AA'as seen in his room during the eA'cning and about midnight went to a sporting house and Avas flush of money, although up to that tinie.he had been broke. When arrested he threw several bills into the gutter aud "at - the police station said: "I did not steal that man's money," although nothing had been said to him"about the charge on which he Avas arrested.. These suspicious facts A\-ere ' dAvelfc on by judge Forin in his review of the evidence. The sentence of tAA'o years' imprisonment in _the_penitentiary was then passed The police authorities state that ' the offence of "'rolling" men, that is relieving them of their money Avhile helpless from drink, is more common than is generally understood, and expresses the hope that the sentence meted to Clayburn may have a salutary effect, Mark Twain on Copyrights. London, April 3.~~The select committee qf tho house of lords on the copyright bill mnc today, and Samuel L. Clemens (Maik Twain) Avas examined. He expressed the opinion that the copyright laA\'s of Great Britain and the United States were uoav so nearly Avhat they ought to be that they only needed one, commercially trifling, but morally gigantic, amendment in order to become perfect.

To make the province of British Columbia prosperous, something must be created Avithin the pro- A'ince. Fifteen years ago all southern British Columbia Avas a Avilder- ���ne.ss. A railway has peopled that wilderness, and the people have created something. What has been done in tho southern jiortion of the province can be done in the north- eru'portion, for the northern portion is less a wilderness today than the southern portion was fifteen years ago. The Canadian Pacific Kail way AA'as built largely by money advanced by the goA'ernment, but it is owned today by the company's shareholders, the government having no proprietary interest in it. No bettor opportunity could be had ', than has the province of British Gol- urabui today to make a beginning in ��� goA'ernment OAvnership of railways. Immense undeveloped stretches of country, known to be rich in natural resources, without any roads of "any kind, extend from the Pacific Ocean eastward to the western boundary of the Northwest Territories. Through it are feasible routes i'or >a trunk raihvay, %A'hieh could be fed by branch roads. Such a road Avould be to the'North Avhat the Canadian Pacific is uoav to the South, Each Avould have its oavh territory, and there could be no conflict or compc- -���ti tion.���The building of-such a road- by the pro\Tince would attract more attention and capital to British Columbia than a thousand Earl's Court Exhibits, and, Avhat is of far greater importance, it would de- A'elop resources that Avould sustain a large permanent population, Avith- o it which the province can have no lasting prosperity. The province has a number of men aspiring to leadership, but none of them can -sec beyond the limits of their respective ridings; all arc either engrossed with issues that are sectional or factional. What is Avanted is a man with biains to lead and daring to execute. Has the province such a man? It had one, but ho is dead. Theodore Davie Avould havo dared, and he would have found means to execute such a work; a Avork that Avlien completed would go far to place British Columbia in the front rank of Canada's great provinces. to a couple of Johnnies as they discussed the political .situation on Baker street, yesterday. That o. I. c. talked sense. In Nelson riding the politicians are all at sea. The paity-line Conservatives haA'e several men anxious to make the race; so haA'e the party- line Liberals; but the bulk of the voters of both parties do not Avant to make a party-line fight AA'ith the material offering. The Independents are sawing Avood. AT THE PARIS EXHIBITION POLITICAL POINTERS. "Theie n?'e enough independent men in Biitish Columbia to defeat any combination that can be made by party politicians if only they are led by men who mean business," rcttiailced an old-line Conservative Buildings Not Ready. Paris, April 3.���Noav that the exposition buildings are practically completed, it is found that the tower of the Turkish pavilion Avill so obstruct the vieAV of the adjoining American national pavilion that commissioner Peck has deemed it imperative to make another strong effort to secure its removal. He AA'rote ioday a A'igorously worded protest to the director-general of the exposition, in AA'hich he said ��� that' the , Turkish pavilion would seriously impair, not only our own building in Avhich \A'e take great pride, but the effect of the Avhole embankment of the" Seine on AA'hich are erected the pavilions of other nations. Regarding the Sunday opening question, commissioner Peck has received a petition signed by a mass of American exhibitors, Avhose exhibits are situated in the' park of "Viueennes, requesting permission to remain open ou Sundays,' Sunday being the only day in the week on. which they expect a large attendance, owing to the park being out of the AA'ay for most Parisians. They therefore Avish to show the machinery in motion on that day. Commissioner Peck has decided to clo^C- the _ national _paviliou_ on Sundays. Although it is less than a fortnight from the dtite of the opening of the exposition the grounds are covered with fragments of Avood Avork, stones and other rubbish and the authorities haA'e lighted upon a novel scavengering scheme. Tho minister of Avar is to send ten thousand soldier^, Avho are iioav being drilled for the purpose, to SAveep like an army through the grounds and buildings on April 12th for tiie purpose of cleaning up till debris. The state of unprepared- ness of the exposition was brought up iu the chamber of deputies this afternoon, Avhen 31. Gustav Chapuis, Radical-Republican, introduced a resolution inviting the government to postpone the opening. He said that in view of the present state of the AAorks, the inauguration on April 11 th avjis simply a bait'to draw provincials and foreigners to see palaces which Avould not be ready until a month later. The minister of commerce, M. Millerand, replied that the organizers had met with all sorts of difficulties Avhich had delayed the progress of the work. Nevertheless, he said, no exposition had ever beeu so ready as this one at a similar period. Continuing, M. Millerand said: "I affirm that ou the evening of tho 13th all the palacc�� will be ready and that the majority of tho exhibits will also be ready. The inauguration has been decreed for April J 1th, and France cannot at this hour withdraw from its signed engagements. The imitations have been sent out, and it would not be understood Avhy the exposition, Avhich is ready, should not be opened on time." M.

Nkw Fork, April 3.-���The most important canal legislation of the session passed the senate today. It Avas senator Ford's bill removing the limit of $50,000 for which corporations are permitted to capitalize for operation on the canals. This bill has been earnestly urged by Erastus Winian and other capitalists, in the interests of the large steel canal boats, and as vigorously opposed by the smaller boat oavii- ers. A final effort AA'as made today to save from defeat the bill appropriating $200,000 for a survey of the canal, but it is believed that no pressure can bring it about. Commander Unknown. London, April 3.���The Avar office informs the Associated Press that it has no information as to avIio commanded the Boers in the affair leading to the capture of the British guns, but it places no reliance whatever in the supposition that a United States attache, or any one connected Avith the United States government, took part in it.

THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Savings Bank Branch OUKHK.NT KATI! Oh' 1NTKKKST 1'AID. MEN OF THE DAY. Following is a short sketch of Cecil Rhodes : Cecil .1. Rhodes, British South African financier and Imperialist, was born ab Bishop Stort- f'ord; July oth, 1S53: son of au English clergyman. He entered Oxford University, but in 1S73, following medical advice in a serious lung trouble, went to the Cape and made, his abode in Natal. There he continued his studies, returning to Oxford and taking-his degree at Oriel College. The great rush to the diamond mines had begun in 1S70; the next year 10,000 miners encamped in Kimberley, where nine-tenths of all the diamonds have been found in an area less than four miles. 'Rhodes staked the little that he had in a few claims most fortunately selected, plodded laboriously at the head of his little gang of Kafiirs, and soon had such success (his gains are reported at millions of pounds before 1809) that he was able to turn his immense ability, as nh organizer to the combination of all interests in four chief mines into the consolidated De Beers Mining Company. Ia IS99, when he had finally accomplished his great work, he had united the interests of -12 companies and 50 private owners. The capital of the DeBeers is ��20,000,000;' annual output ��3,000,000, of which one-, third is clear profit; annual divi- " fclkid, 25 per cent. When the great' Transvaal gold fields were opened soon afterward, the firm of Rhodes Sc Co. was prominent in their exploitation. As an ardent Britibh imperialist, he laid plans wliich led to the "formation of the British South Africa Company for opening and administering Ma-ah- "onaland and , other Bccliuana countries. Entering political life, he was Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. elected to the Cape parliament aud in 1890 was made prime minister, Mr. Schreiner, the present premier, being his most trusted helper. When Rhodes was very credibly charged���though the charge never gained full legal evidence���with complicity in the Jamieson raid, and even with being its organizer, his premiership ended. He is popularly supposed to possess vast wealth. His intimate friends doubt this, saying, that he has no love for possessing money, but, instead, a contempt for meu who make wealth their chief object. His delight, they say, is great in making money, and then equally great in .spending it. He has announced theories wliich even savor of socialism, to the effect that a man's large wealth is not chiefly his, nor even his family'0; it should all go to the public service���to the state in some form or another. What is wealth to the individual who inherits it? A burden too great to be borne."-1 He is probably tho most ardent of living British imperialists, ready to pour out mouey like water to bring all South Africa under British sway, inasmuch as he regards "the English-speaking race as the chosen instrument for bringing in a state of society based upon justice, liberty and peace."

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-04-04 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
