PRICE FIVE CENTS SAME DISPUTE OVER AGAIN The Mayor's Authority. There was anothor long discussion at last evening's session of tho city council over the question, whether or not mayor Houston was Iho chief magistrate of tho city. Tlio question was introduced by . the following resolution which was moved by alderman Hall, seconded i by alderman Irvine : "Resolved that all public works ml ready or hereafter ordered by the ���city council, and the purchase of ..���all labor and material therefor be placed directly under the control of the public works committee; and that all instructions given to -th'e'city engineer-be in writing and signed by a majority of the public works committee." When the mayor read the resolution he said: This question might as well come to ahead now as at any other time. The mayor has unrestricted authority to direct and order the city's business. This resolution seeks to take this control out of the hands of the mayor and place it in the hands of the public works committee. For this reason. i t conflicts with the Municipal ���Clauses Act and I am obliged to rule it out of order. I do not take this action with any desire to be at ���outs with the council, but I shall insist that the prerogatives given ���.meby the Municipal Clauses Act shall -not be set aside by any resolution 'of the council. I have secured an ^opinion from the city solicitor upon the question at issue between certain members of the council and myself and it bears -out my contention. Now if the council wishes tio override my ruling and the opinion >-ot.the eity solicitor, well and good. Alderman Hall���-I havc spoken to the'eity solicitor and he informed mo very differently. Mayor Hous>ton���Well, I took the precaution to secure an opinion in writing, which I may as well read to the council, Pear Sir���In _in->wer to yout? of this dale asking my opinion as> to j oui pow'ei sin lcgaid to the iVtulution of eiiiy snhoidinatc ofllrors under s,ub seel ion d ol Miction 11 of the ,u,t.

Alderman Arthur���Under the .'Act the council has power to pass a .'by/law to "regulate the duties of officials. Mayor Houston���The council has no power to pass a bylaw that, - would conflict with the Municipal f Clauses Act. There must bo some jJiead to the eity affairs and the' .council cannot delegate the powers roonferred upou the mayor to auy (other oflicial or member of the - council.���If the-members of_the council are set in their determination to endeavor to set aside the authority of the mayor let us have ii case stated and the question , ettled by the court. It is very uoying as matters stand for the ���or to go to a foreman ou the ���ei and hear him say that a member of the council instructed *"IU t0 tl�� a certain thing.

I do not believe that any taxpayer in Nelson, who is without prejudice, will say that I liave neglected the city business. Neither can the members of the council accuse me of usurping the powers of the council. There may bo members of the council who do not like me personally, but that should not enter into the question of the conduct of the city's bubiness. J cell you plainly, gentlemen, if you intend to persist iu this conflict I will carry it to a court of last resort. ��� Alderman Hall replied that it was not his intention of causing any disturbance. He had not introduced the resolution as the result of auy ill feeling. As a member of the public works committee he felt that he was in a measure responsible. He desired merely to fix responsibility. He wanted to know where the responsibility of the public works committee ended. Mayor Houston���Then before you took any such action as this you should show that the action of the mayor has brought about loss to the city. Alderman Hall in reply said that the public works committee had asked the city engineer for figures upon certain work, and received a reply from him that he had. been taken off the street work. The result was the committee did not secure the figures. ��� Mayor Houston���Owing , to the fact that there was more or less friction between the mayor and the city, engineer, due to the interfer-. ence of certain members of the council, and in order that tiie street work could be carried on without friction I'ordered that the .street work should be looked after by1 the assistant city engineer, the work being sufficient to require the entire time of one man.'". ' The city engineer was placed in charge of the sewers and waterworks and the general supervision of the city- works. The assistant engineer was also instructed that he was free to consult the city engineer upon street work whenever he desired. I have also asked the eity engineer to_make an estimate for the guidance of the council upon the work ordered at the last sitting. S do not know whether he has complied with these instructions or not. Alderman McKillop read several' sections of the Municipal Clauses Act, defining the powers of the council to regulate certain matters aud argued that they took priority over the sub-section .quoted 'by the mayor. After some further talk upon the sections of, the Apt referred .to by ttlderman McKillop, mayor Houston observed that it was useless for the council to waste time in discussing the matter. It was evident that many of the aldermen were set in their opinions. The easiest 'wa,y out of the difficulty, therefore, would be to take the matter into court.' Alderman McKillop here' expressed the opinion that the resolution offered was out of order. His opinion was that the power eould only be delegated by a by-law. Mayor Houston���Do you claim that you could pass a by~lawr to prevent the mayor" from suspending a city official? Alderman McKillop���No. Mayor Houston���Well, then, do you contend that the council can pass a bylaw taking the direction of the city affairs out of the hands^ of the mayor? Alderman Hall expressed the opinion that if the trick could not be turned by a resolution it could not be accomplished by by-law. Alderman Irvine said that he had seconded the resolution for the purpose of bringing the matter to a head. Tie did not agree with the mayor's view of the powers of the standing committees. If their powers were so restricted he did uot see why all their work could not be done at the council meetings. As the result of the present oonfliet the members of the council were being laughed at, aud he supposed the mayor was being treated in a similar maifucr. Ho avus open to conviction, however, lie did not think that tho resolution eonllicted with the statute, but if it did he would vote agaiust it. l A Idcrman Morrison said he agreed with alderman McKillop, that the matter would require a bylaw and that a mere resolution was out of order. Mayor Houston closed the discussion upon the question by ruling the resolution out of order; He said that the whole trouble arose through the policy of members of tho council listening to everybody and endeavoring to please everyone. They seemed to forget that they were elected by the people to discharge the business of the city to the best of thoir ability, and not listen to and be guided by gossip of everyone they met on street corners. The result was that it was easy for those who were opposed to individual members of the council to create disturbance. If the members of the council would attend council meetings solely for tho dispatch of public business, there would be an end to these wordy controversies, but so long as they paid attention to old women and gossip there would be the same trouble. The ruling of the mayor was not questioned and the resolution was dropped. Alderman Irvine, as chairman of the public works committee, reported as to the amounts expended upon street- improvements. The total to date he gave as $5,721.55. The street paving of six blocks was estimated at $11,800. This with other expenditures ordered would give a total of about $22,000. In addition to this there was the improving of Josephine, Silica, Carbonate, Mill and . Ward streets, making a grand aggregate expenditure Of $35,000. ' Mayor Houston commented upon the magnitude of the programme in comparison with the funds available and the council had to face the question whether it would issue debentures for street work or confine the work in a measure to the money available from current revenue.1 His own opinion was that while taxpayers would vote money for expenditures upon revenue producing utilities they were not in. favor of large debenture issues for street improvements which produced no revenue. The paving of Baker street was a work which all were in favor of, but for the present year he thought -it would, be advisable to spread what money there was available over needed repairs instead of Undertaking expensive street grading. On motion of alderman Arthur, seconded by -.alderman Wilson, it was decided to call for sealed tenders for the supply of lumber, tenders to be in by noon on May 7th. In the matter of the purchase of 1200 feet of Paragon hose committee reported that the committee authorized to purchase the hose could not complete the same as the company required a contract signed by the mayor and city clerk. Mayor Houston informed the council that,he had received offers from two other firms to supply the .city, with equally good hose" at 80 and 85 cents per foot as against 95 cents asked for Tby the company which was endeavoring to seeure the contract. He thought it well to inform the council as it meant a saving of $180. If, however, the council desired the hose mentioned and would authorize him to sign a contract tlieir, wishes would be met. The motion was then made that the mayor sign the contract. On motion of alderman Irvine, beconded by alderman Wilson, Robert Lillie was recommended'as engineer for the rock crusher for 30 days. Alderman Arthur had an amendment to this - resolution that the other applications be'eonsidered. It was supported by aldermen McKillop and Hall, but was lost. The council decided to collect arrears owing from churches and societies upon cemetery plots. It was decided to pui'chase 4500 feet of lap welded steel _pip_e_ from H. J. Evans & Co., and also to ascertain the relative eost of different pipe for the upper portion of the city. A number of communications were received and referred to the several committees* FIERCE FIRE WELL FOUGHT Much Damage Done. Nelson had what looked like a serious fire yesterday when the new Burns block was scorched. The origin of. the fire is shrouded in mystery, but it had secured a good start when discovered and for a time the fate of the entire building was doubtful. After a fight lasting over two hours tbe flames were extinguished and the occupants of "the building had au opportunity to estimate their losses. P. Burns & Co. figure that it will take $7500 to mrtke good' the damage to the premises, tho Imperial Bank will have a bill of $400 to foot for painting and kalsomining destroyed by water, and The Triune Association ^suffered" heavily through water damaging valuable stationery. - The" Burns company carry $30,600 insurance, $10,000 of which was taken ou t on Monday, the Imperial Bank was insured; for $2000 and The Tribune is protected by $6000. , At 12:30 one .of,., the carpenters ;engaged on the building returned from lunch and noted jets of smoke bursting from the elevator shaft at the rear of the-block and also from air!holes' beneath tiie eave 'trough- ing. He. notified^he jfire brigade which, responded^-^with ''-.unusual, .celerity, a number'Of ^the members being.at dinner intlie hall. By the time the first line of hose had been laid, the smoke had grown in density and it was .apparent that the proposition? ^ would be ser-> ions. The "h'ose\ Avas carried through The Tbibunb office from the rear door aiid an effort made to reach the scene of the trouble through the hall and passageway leading into the Burns storage compartments. This task proved difficult of execution owing to the thick clouds of ��� acid smoke Avhich poured out of the passage and drove back the fire fighters. It AA'as suggested that an, opening be made through the Avail-ui to ^compartment blaze was great, the air was so vitiated that lanterns would not burn and the smoke was particularly trying. Even with respirators the men could only stand the work for a feAV minutes at a time, aud firemen Archibald and Bradley AA'ero completely prostrated. No light penetrates to the storage department from the outside aud it Avas difficult to work to advantage in the. narrow passages running knee deep iu--'water." J. J. Chambers and other members of the brigade had their'faces scorched aiid blistered by the heat. The members of the fire department worked splendidly and tlieir efforts Avere enthusiastically seconded by volunteers who took hold Avith a will and were in the thick of the fray throughout. The volunteers did yeoman- service. Soon: after the fire brigade returned to the fireball, P. Burns & Co. sent a cheek for $250- to the' chief for distribution among the., members; The walls of the refrigerating room were a foot .or more thick and packed with shavings and; mineral wool. It was feared that the fire might smoulder in the walls and a watch was kept" up all -night. Firemen Foot, Huston and Porter AA'ere on dirty until morning. The origin of the fire is unknoAvn aud Avill probably never be discovered. ' The men Avorking on the building Avere using candles for lighting purposes and it is suggested that a spark .��� from , a candle may have fallen into the shavings -and smouldered there until fanned into" a blaze. It is agreed on all sides that had the fire occurred at night the result might easily have- been the complete destruction "of the block.. ' - Girls Must Talk. New Yoiuc, April 24..���Twenty- five girl employees of II. & J Bau- niau at 518 Broad Avay and 80 and 82 Crosby streeb went on strike today because of orders given by a ncAA' foreman. The girls range from 11 to 20 years of age and have earned from $5 to $8 a Aveek Avorking by the day ou ladies' wrappers. Contractor Margoles, the new boss, told the girls that hereafter they must give $1 deposit for repairs for their seAving machines, and must clean up' the machines and fix up imperfect Avork in their own time after G p. m. They were also ordered to be silent at their Avork. The change meant a half hour's extra Avork each day. The girls determined to strike Avhen Margoles refused to moderate the new rules. Four of the girls are picketing the streets near the Bauman factory. Extraordinary War Rumors, New York, April 21.���The Commercial-Advertiser's financial cablegram says: "The markets today Avere all fiat, from mines to consols, and business was meager. Adverse rumors were current, including the extraordinary Avhisper of an impending Avar with France over Afriean disputes after the exhibition." No. 1, but the scheme wasabaudon ed on the recommendation of one of the men employed about the building who said the wails Avere so thick that the job Avould be a long one. More hose Avas brought into play, all tiie stock from the Observatory street station- being requisitioned and brought down the hill on" the gallop. Three loads Avero taken to the roof Avhence the fire Avas vigorously attacked. The cover was removed from the main skylight Avhich is located just OA'er the passage running between the Burns office and the refrigerating rooms. At right angles to this passage is.a long alley extending to the elevator shaft at the rear, and on Avhich open small rooms, half a dozen in number. On the skylight being opened a thick black column ,o�� smoke ascended, followed a few moments later by vicious spurts of ilame. At this point _thc fire ass_umed i ts most serious aspect, and many officials and citizens concluded the fight Avas lost. The nozzles of two lines of hose Avere introduced into the skylight and such effective play Avas made on the point from Avhich the flames came that the blaze avus driven buck. This enabled the men Avorking beneath to get into tho alley, and it avus found that the fire was principally located in compartment No. 1. i'Yom ihi-s time tho fire fighters made good progress, ancl at 1:30 the fire was to all intents over. Meanwhile The Tribune office suffered severely from AA'ater. A substantial portion of the Avater from three lines of host1 poured through tlio matched board .ceiling, falling on tho stationery and presses beneath, and then to the floor, through Avlneh ib penetrated to the bank premises. The floor in The Tkiuune office Avas quite two inches under Avater Avhen a score of Avilling hands grasped brooms and forced the Avater doAvn the front stairs. A number of rolls of oilcloth were procured from Fred Irvine & Company's Store aud lined to cover the machinery, stock, desk and type, as a result of Avhich considerable extra loss waf> avoided. Manager Lay of the Imperial Bank took the precaution when matters looked blue to remove the books, pupeib and A'aluablcs belonging to tho bank to a safe distance. Oilcloth Avas used to protect the desks and furniture in the bank. Whoa the firemen succeeded in penetrating to the immediate vicinity of tho fire their position Avas precarious. The heat from the ROBERTS' NET CLOSING IN Are Close to Wepener. London, April 21.-11:15 p.m.��� The Avar office has issued the fol- loAving from lord���Roberts : "Bloemfontein, April 21.���Generals Brabant and Hart yesterday turned" the position occupied by the Boers, who, tried to prevent their 'moving northward and got into heliographic communication Avith colouel Dalgety,' commandant of the , besieged garrison at Wepener, avIio reported all were well.

"The mounted infantry under general Ian Hamilton occupied the Avaterworks at Sanua& Post. As tho enemy are holding the neighboring hills in some strength, the ninth division, consisting of general Smith-Dorian's and general Mue- Donald's brigades, has already been dispatched to support Hamilton.

New York, April 21.���The Herald's Peking special says: The attitude of the present empress dowager and her advisers is strongly against the "open door" policy and there are many poAvorfui interests close to the throne that go so far us to advise expulsion of all foreigners, even at the cost of the entire foreign trade of the empire. The anti- foreign sentiment is A'ery strong, llubsia, Avith the largest force closest at hand, is feared to a greater extent than otlier nations, and tho United States is probably disliked less than any other power press dowager feara fur of the Mandm dynasty. The Man chus are in a minority, and Avith Avaniug military prestige could not stand out against an enlightened China. Tliey were frightened by the recent reform movement, and believe that an open China and a wakening of the better class of people to the true conditions that exist would mean their undoing. JOHN KEEN IS A CANDIDATE Arthur R. Browne Dead. Kaslo, April 24.���[Special to The Tribune.]���John Keen has resigned his position as mining assessor and collector, recorder and registrar of the county court in order to run in the provincial general elections as a; straight Conservative candidate in the Slocan.

Included in the celebration will be several notable banquets. The prince of Wales is to dine Avith lord Salisbury,- Avho will entertain the ambassadors at his house in Ailing-" ton street: There will be no great party at the foreign office, but it is probable that the omission will be supplied, by a large reception at Lansdowue iioiiso, at Avhich all the members of the royal family Avho are then in London Avill be present. Boer Commissioners Fail. : Londox, April 24.���The Vienna correspondent of the Times says: The Boer peace commissioners Avill not be. received either at Vienna, Berlin, St. Petersburg or Rome. It is well that" the "United States should know how the mission has fared in Europe, and the temper of Europe toward the United States which is constantly, manifested on the continent is a factor to be reckoned Avith, as the United States will doubtless discover at the next leiiewal of commercial treaties. IT IS NOW ONLY A FOOT RACE ?! I S Boers Must Move Fast. London, April 25.-5 a.m.���The reports that tlxe siege of Wepener has been practically raised were apparently premature. The Boer attack upon colonel .. Dalgety's northern position as described from Maseru, was probably a final attempt to rnsli the garrison before? securing a safe retreat, and as col-; onel Dalgety successfully repulsed;^ the attack little further anxiety is felt on his account. -:;%-sk Lord Roberts has now spreadit'aM, net with some 40,000 or more irien:S| and 150 guns, covering the -AvholelP western semi-circle around Wep^ ener, while general Hamiltonhaisi occupied the waterworks, practiS cally without opposition.

It is well- known, that when a member of Mr. Semlin's^ government, Mr. Martin Avas opposed to making the eight- hour laAV operative, and noAV ho Avoiild rather see _a_Tvell-kn_OAvn _re^ pcaler elected from Nelson than a man who believes the eight- hour laAV .should no longer be made a political issue. This is a fair sample of premier Martiu's much-advertised sincerity for the interests of tho meu avIio Avork for wages. Martin is not mh- eere in any issue, not even govern- ment ownership of raihvays, for he ii not in favor of building any rntl- Avay, cither by tho government or by private capital, that does not begin or end at VaneouA'er.

London, April 21.���A late arrival from the Cape brings with him the following story concerning Cecil Rhodes and a commandant Avhose name figures daily in the dispatches from _the front. The general in question is noted for his irascible temperament and sinee the' beginning of hostilities in South Africa he has made himself particularly disliked by reason of his overbearing manner. As Cape commandant he is naturally monarch of all lie surveys, and not the least of the horrors of Avar is his temper Avhen by chance he is thwarted or his conduct is questioned. One day, so the story goes, a special train drew up almost outside his door. It consisted of one reserve saloon draAvn by two engines/ and naturally tho general Avail ted to know where it came from, where it was going, avIio AA'as in it, and AA'ith that object ho sent hisorderly to a man avIio Avas leaning out of tho window. The information was refused and the demand Avas met with a request that the commandant should go to blazes. Tiie general fumed, stamped, sAvore and threatened, but the train glided slowly out of the station, and for some hours the geueral remained in ignorance. Then some one informed him and he immediately dispatched the folloAving telegram to the general commanding the lines of communication : "Mr. Rhodes passed through here this morning and failed to report himself to me."

George Hunt, one of the defendants in the "breach of the Indian act case" in which the accused were charged with biting dried-np bodies, and other dreadful things during a "dance of the Ilamatas" at Alert Bay, is a half-breed of considerable note, being the son of a former lludsons Bay factor, and highly [^Connected by marriage with wealthy British Columbians. He is also known to scientists aiid students of Indian life, all over the American continent, and was making a: comfortable competence in writing descriptions of British Columbia Indian life and customs for. scientific magazines in Washington, London, San Francisco aud New York. In fact, George Hunt, who first became known to the world as the manager of the British Columbia contingent of Indians at the world's fair in Chicago, is looked upon as au authority on Indian customs iu British Columbia, aud hi.s name appears in that connection in a great many magazine articles. It is then little wonder that let- iers are being received iu the city from scientists in different parts of the continent, asking if it is true that George Hunt has been accused of then crime of eating dead human bodies. A noted AVashington scientist writes that he cannot believe that tho mild mannered man ho saw iu Washington, and gained so much information from of great interest, could so far forget the white man, and remember the Indian, as to take part iu such dreadful orgies. 4 It is said, however, that George "Hunt was simply taking notes as a , 1 eporter at tho Hamatos1 dance at which the dead bodies were said to Is now prepared to. issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W.T. have been eaten, but being a policeman, who was supposed to have stopped tho proceedings as unlawful, the law ignored him iu his capacity of reporter and arrested him for standing by and permitting such practices without protest. 'Very briefly, Ilamatas' dance is as follows: Several young bucks starve for several days and roam tho Avoods dressed in grotesque fashion. While in the woods they originate some peculiar" cry or war song, which is repeated by the Indians at the rancheree. When the young bucks or Hamatas are driven wild with hunger, they return to the village, and the dance commences. Dried up human bodies are placed near the bonfire around I which the Indians collect, and the | Ilamatas bite pieces out of them. Then the Hamatas go among the klootchniaiis and braves arouud tho camp fire and attempt to bite pieces from tlieir legs and arms, and those who submit to being bitten, retire to a secret chamber after the dance where the chiefs aiid prize donators congregate, aud are there presented with prizes iu value according to stoicism.

LAY, Manager. their The Nome Gold Fields. Engineering and Mining Journal. It looks very much .as.if some of the schemes for mining the shore deposits of the Nome district in Alaska aro being prepared without counting the cost, and with very little knowledge of the true conditions. A good deal is said of the probable returns to be obtained by mining beyond the low-water mark, aud Ave hear of some dredging outfits which are to be prepared for use during the coming season. Now dredging for gold is not altogether as simple an operation in practice anywhere as it is on paper; and at Nome it is going to be very risky Avork. To try to operate a dredge in shalloAv water, on a sloping beach, Avhere there is always a heavy swell, and where there is no protection whatever from frequent and A'iolent storms, is not merely a difficult matter'; a wreck is only a question of time, and probably a very short time. To work by sinking shafts and running tunnels out under the ocean bed ia likely to be a costly and difficult task. The building of coffer dams and caissons which will stand against the-.waves Avill also be costly. Altogether the problem of working these shore deposits is not an easy one, and it is by no means certain whether gold Avill be found in quantities wliich will pay for the risks to be incurred. People should hesitate and investigate carefully before going into any of these schemes', or undertaking to transport heavy machinery to Nome. �� -: England as a Republic. Cromwell- and the parliament cut I off Charles I's head because he did not govern England according to tiie'. constitution and the will of parliament. Chamber's Book ^ of Days tells, in the following words, how the self constituted champion of liberty dealt with the remains" of the parliament on April 20th, 1653, when it had ceased to agree with him. The next parliament was called when Charles II succeeded to the throne. The incident is described thus: ��� -..-,��� - "Cromwell, having ordered a company of musketeers to follow him, entered the house *in plain black clothes and worsted stockings' and, sitting down, listened for awhile to their proceedings. Hearing at last the question put, that the bill do pass, he rose, put off his hat and began to speak. In the course of his address he told them of their- self- seeking and delays of justice, till at length sir Peter Wentworth interrupted him with a remonstrance against such language. Blazing up, he said, 'We have had enough of this ���I will put an end to your prating.' Stepping into the floor of the house, and clapping on his hat, he commenced a violent harangue, which he- occasionally emphasized by stamping Avith his feet, and' which, "came mainly to this: .'It is not fit that you should sit here any longer ���you have sat too long for, any good you have been doing lately. You shall now give place to better men.' 'Call them iii!' he exclaimed; and his officer Harrison aud a file of soldiei-s entered the house. Then proceeding, 'You are no parliament. Some of you are - drunkards'���bending a stern eye upon Mr. Chaloner; some of you- lire���-', a word expressive of a worse immorality, and he looked here at Henry Marten and sir Peter Wentworth���'living iu open contempt of God's (commandments. Some of you are corrupt, unjust persons��� Iioav can you be a parliament for God's people? Depart, I say, and Opera House April 26th and 28th at 8:30 o'clock Matinee April 27th at 2:30 o'clock Comic Opera H. M. S. FULL OAST let us have done Avith you. Go!" " He ]ifted_J.he mace from the table and gave~it to a musketeer to be taken away. He caused Harrison to giAre his hand to speaker Leuthal aud lead him down from the chair. The members, cowed by his violence and the sight of the . armed meu, moved gloomily out of the house. 'It is the Lord that has caused me to do this,' he said. ' I have sought that He Avould rather slay me tfian put me upon doing this work.' Sir Harry Vane venturing a remonstrance, 'Oh, sir Harry Vane!' exclaimed, the lord- < genertl; the Lord deliver me from sir Harry Vane! 'When all had gone out, ho came out too, and locked the door."

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-04-25 |
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. |
