Greenwood, August 15.���Additional mining plant and machinery is being received at several Boundary Creek mines. Two 100-horse power horizontal return tubular boilers, together with fittings, smokestacks, etc., reached the Mother Lode mine near Greenwood, last week. These will supply power for the 35-drill air compressor and large hoisting engine now being manufactured in the East for this mine. A 10-drilI air compressor with Wheeler's surface condenser, an air receiver, two 80-horse power horizontal return tubular boilers, an 8 by 12 hoisting engine, and other plant have since been received for the Knob Hill mine. - With these also came an S by 12 hoist for the Old It onsides and a 70-horse power boiler and two S_\ Little Giant drills for tbe Snowshoe. These three mines are neighboring properties situate in Greemvood camp and all are being actively developed. The Knob Hill aud . Old Ii onsides are under the control of the Miner- Graves Syndicate and the Snowshoe i.s owned by an English organization known as the British Columbia (Rossland and Slocan) Syndicate, of which Anthony J. McMillan of Kossland, is managing director and chairman of the syndicate. G. S. Waterlow, of the well-known Loudon publishing house of Water- low <fc Sons, Limited, is expected to reach Greenwood next week to visit the mine, which is being developed under the direction of J. W. Asfcley, C. E., consulting engineer to the syndicate. The bricklayers have coraplated the work of arching in the long dust chamber at the British Columbia Copper Company's smelter neat- Greenwood. Nearly all the work that could be done to buildings, ore bins, trestles, etc., prior to-the receipt of the sampling and smelting plant lias beeu finished, so thab the arrival of tlio plant' is" now being impatiently awaited. -Paul Johnson, superintendent of the smelt'cr, should by now be in Canada on liis return from a visit to Europe.

New York, August 15.���The American Bible Society has received a letter from its agent in China, Rev. John R. Hyker, D. D., dated Shang-Hai, July 2. He says: "There has been a strong undercurrent of. feeling in Shang-Hai for the past fortnight. Probably 50,000 people have,left the city. Every steamer for. the south is crowded. Extra -.boats had to be put on to accom- tinodate the passengers. A great many left on native boats for Soo Chow and other cities on the grand canal. For a boat whicli could be hired in ordinary times for $8 as much as $75 was demanded and re- pejyeid. The officials, both native and foreign? have tried to stampede but tljey havp only been partially successful. Two weeks ago we were practically without protection, except suoh as could be given by our local volunteer forces, Now we have 11 men of war in the river and more are expected. I do not like to see this panic among the natives, for among a stolid people |ike the Chinese it is not without good cause. There are two other, to me, ominous signs. The place is simply over-run with Buddhist priests. Those wore the forerunners in the north and we fear their sudden appearance here in large numbers bodes no good. I find that a large proportion of them are from Shan Tung and Chili Li." IMPORTANT NEWS EXPECTED REPORTED TO BE IN PEKIN Russians Act Independently. London, August 10.���5 a.in.��� "The allies are reported to have reached Pekin Monday," says the Shang-Hai correspondent of the Daily Express, wiring yesterday. He adds: "Chinese official news confirms this statement but without details." A Paris message repeats this, but the statement, especially as it emanates from China, must be accepted with considerable reserve. Other Londou morning papers, basing their remarks upon AVashington dispatches, which, with the exception of the foregoing from Shang-Hai, form the latest news regarding the advance are divided in opinion, some saying the allies must have already reached Pekin aud others preferring to believe that the relief will not be accomplished uutil the end of the week. Telegraphing from Yang Tsung on August 0th, a Daily News special says:7'Sir Alfred Gasclee hopes to keep. the.enemy running and to follow him right into Pekin." Ngan Ping was occupied without firing a shot, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express from that place dated August 11 th. "It is believed," the message adds, "that generals Tung Fuh, Siang Ma and Chang are entrenched, 40,000 strong, at Tung Chau. The allies may avoid Tung Chau, pursuing the route northwest from Chia Kia Wan. Tung Chau appears to be about twelve niiles from Pekin. A dispatch to the same paper from Shang-Hai, dated yesterday, says the officials profess to be willing to hand over the foreign ministers, their families and servants, but will not permit tho departure of native Christians. "The Russian government," . continues . the telegram, has notified Li Hung Chang of its willingness to receive M. Degiers outside the Avails of P^ekin thus avoiding tho entrance of the Russian forces. This independent action is calculated to erabarras the other powers. Japan demands that general Yung Lu shall meet the allies outside the city gates and deliver the ministers and all the native Christians." Jimmy Michael Reinstated. Nkw York, August 15.���The board of the National Cycle Association today issued- the following : James Michael having made a satisfactory settlement with the management of jthe Pleasure Beach track, Bridgeport, Connecticut, aud also agreeing that the postponed =race=with=John=^Ne!son==wiIl=take= place August 22ud, is hereby restored to good standing, for not riding to win iu a handicap race and an attempted deception.

Gilchin, iu charge of the supplies of the public works department in the Yukon, in an interview, said that the telegraph system between Atlin and the outside world would be completed and in operation by October 1st, and that by the same time the line which the Dominion government is to extend from Dawson to Fort Cudahy, on the international boundary between Yukon Territory and Alaska, on the Yukon, would be ready for use. The latter will be about fifty miles long. The system is to be constructed in the Yukon basin and serving the chief points of the far north. Expect Hamilton Soon. London, August 15.���The war office has received a dispatch from lord; Roberts announcing that colonel Hoare was holding out at jjiancls river last Friday. Lord Roberts considers that general Hamilton's cavalry must now be within forty miles of Elands river. Appointed Minister to Teheran. London, August 15.���Sir A. H. Harding, British consul general at Zanzibar, has beeu appointed British minister afc Teheran. from allied armies, told him that a very strong Chinese army uii Ulster Conger, some coining from the consular officers and general Chaffee besides those which came- direct. The message transmitted thorugh minister Wu was entirely deciphered in the department. During the course of a conversation today between seoretary Hoot and baron Speck von Sternburg, the German charge d'affaires, Mr. Root gained considerable iu forma tion concerning the route wliich has yefc to be traversed by tho Baron Sternburg Tsung Chow was place and if the should make a stand at this point the international forces would find it quite difficult to overcome the forts and walls. Ifc is expected that the German force now on its way to Cliina will land in the vicinity of Lin Lu wliich is directly east of Pekin. The advantages of this point are found in the fact that ice will not interfere with the moving and coming of ships with supplies. Word came early in the day to the navy department that general Chaffee reached Towa, about 20 miles from Pekin. This occurred Fricjay or Saturday, though the dispatch from general Chaffee, sent through admiral Renipy, was not sufficiently definite to locate the exact time of reaching Towa. But in any event three or four days have elapsed since then and there has beeu time for a still further advance toward the imperial city. Ifc was announced, both at the state and war departments that any communications from minister Conger or the United States consuls concerning affairs in Chiua Rapid Advance of Allies. Berlin, August 15.���The German government now admits that the advance upon Pekiu is well under way, having received official confirmation by dispatches today. The foreign office is greatly astonished at the rapid advauce of the international troops, but surmises that the Chinese will make one more desperate stand before the allies reach the capital. This evening the Berlin papers contain a statement that prince von Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, is about to resign. As a matter of fact, he has taken hardly any share in Germany's warlike China policy, although under the terms of "the constitution of the empire the chancellor is responsible to the nation in that connection. After diligent inquiry the correspondent of the Associated Press is able to assert that prince von Hohenlohe does not' intend to resign in the near future. Several leading papers, however, express dissatisfaction at what they call emperor William's "personal, regime" regarding China and the "figure head ism" of Hohenlohe. The Berliner Tagoblatt says this condition of things gravely injures the importance of, the chancellor's office. All'the papers, including the Berliner Post, the Kreuz Zeitung, the Deutsche Tages Zeitung, the Berliner Tagoblatt, the Frankfort Zeitung, the Schlcsis Zeitung and the Hanover Courier, demand the summoning of the reichstag iu extra session. - * " - * The actual dates" when the additional 25,000 men will leave Bremer- haven for China have now been fixed. Eight steamers will sail on August 31st, September 4th and September 7th, carrying also much artillery, including howitzers and shells. Washington, August 15. ��� The tension on the Chinese situation is intense throughout the day, for it is appreciated by the officials ��� that the crisis has reached an acute stage which cannot be continued niauy hours without bringing word of momentous importance, changing either for good or evil the entire course of events. One of the new developments today Avas the statement that messages are being received from minister Conger wliich are not transmitted through any of the United States officials in China or through the Chinese minister here, but direct to the state department. The messages come by way of Tsi Nan. Some of them can not be fully deciphered and for this reason tho statement cannot bo definitely made that the dispatches sent by the government to minister Conger are received by him. Nothing could be learned of the contents of the dispatches received, although it was stated that there nvasTqui teTTlttmlbef Gold Shipments Unprofitable. New York, August 15.���Foreign exchange bankers reported today their inability to obtain from the Bank of England such concessions as would make further shipments from this country now profitable. A banking houso with important Paris connections knew of no inducement offered by the Bank of France to attract gold to that country by tomorrow's steamer. Hard Fighting afc Elands River. Caimo Town, August 15.���A mes- songer from colonel Hoaro, commanding fche British garrison at Elands river, who reached Mafeking Tuesday, reported thafc the garrison was still holding out when he leffc, although colonel Hoare had sustained sixty-seven casualties. General Hamilton wifch a force of cavalry has been sent to relieve the garrison. Started for Pekin. Berlin, August 15.���An official dispatch from Taku, dated August 12th, announces that captain Pehl, command.ing the German warship Hensaw, and captain Hecht of the German warship Hertha, have started for Pekin with 250 men. It is added that 100 Austrians have also gone in the same direction. Missing With $800. Victoria, August 15.���Eli Frank, formerly a merchant in Victoria, is missing Avith $800 whicli he collected in Dawson for Lenz & Leiser of this city. He failed to come to Victoria on bis return from Dawson. The police traced him to Portland, but lost the trail there, would not be made jmblic. It was explained that this 'was in no way due to any desire tp'keep from the public information lof any important character, but ��� was based solely on the fact that the crisis involved so many possibilities of extreme hazard to the eight hundred legationers in Pekin, that the greatest caution must be observed against disclosures' which would further imperil those in danger. The actual developments of the day consisted of the Remey dispatch heretofore alluded to, aud one from consul-general Goodnow at Shang-Hai. ...The state department'declined to make known the contents of the Goodnow dispatch. The cipher experts were busy wifch a dispatch from consul -Fowler, afc Che Foo, which wa-j so unintelligible that it had td'be returned to the telegraph company to be repeated. So far as could be deciphered it appeared to repeat a message sent by minister Conger to Fowler, telling the latter that the situation was growing more critical at Pekin, and that' the Chinese authorities were seeking to compel the legationers to . leave the city under Chinese escort.1- With the army at Nafcowa, it-is felt that any one of several conditions might be presented in the near future. The Chinese officials concurred in the belief expressed by the Chinese minister at London , that there would be a speedy* and sudden change and a peace'within the next few weeks. On the other .hand, baron Speck von Sternburg regards Tung Chow, midway between Natowa and Pekin, as the real battle ground, and secretary Root; is inclined'to accept this view. Some of the Japanese officials believe that .when the allies reached Tung Chow they would find the city deserted, as it was recalled that the tactics of withdrawal had occurred in" 1860, when the British-French expedition reached Tung Chow. The message of the. French minister at Pekin, M. Fichon, to the French foreign office was at first regarded here as identical with the last Conger message,, which -the state department has not made public. But without disclosing the nature of the Conger message, the officials made sufficient comparison between the Pichon and Conger dispatches to show that tliey were not identical in language or general statement. On the contrary, it was clear that each minister was forwarding to his government his own advices on the situation; and that there had not been a consultation between the minister's before the two dispatches were forwarded. The arrival of president McKiniey tomorrow is looked, forward to with great interest in view of the gravity of the crisis. The presidential party will be here early tomorrow morning, aud an extended conference between the president, secretary Root, acting secretary Adee and others is likely to occur ej___ly_Ji_Jbliejlay. TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON A Michigan Railroad, Grand Rapids, Michigan, August 15.���The worst wreck in the history of the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad occurred about 5 a. ra. to- day, at Pierson, 29 miles north of Grand Rapids. The northbound Northland express, which left the city at 4:05, collided head on with passenger train No. 2, due here 0 a.m. Nine lives were lost and many passengers were injured, some severely. Both engines and the baggage care were completely demolished. When the trains* met, day was jusfc dawning and the fog was so thick that the engineers could nofc see more than 100 yards ahead. The trains were to. have passed at Sandlake, two miles south of Pier- son at 4:53. No. 2 was evidently late and trying to make the siding. The Northland express had the right of way, and was scurrying .along at nearly full speed. -Either the engineers blundered in their orders or were unable to sec signals on account of fche fog. A telephone message from Pierson says the engineers and firemen of both trains were killed as well as five other persons. . The express train was made up largely of Pullman cars. Ifc was the finest train on the road. They carried a Grand Rapids coach, a day coach, several sleepers from Cincinnati and the south and a Buffalo breakfast car and baggage cars. ' �� ' The killed as far as known are: W. H. Fish, engineer on the southbound traiu; Gustave Grootveldt, engineer on the northbound traiu; M. Letts, conductor of No. 5, and Levan, baggageman on No. 5. The .firemen of both engines are supposed to be dead. Six bodies were taken from the wreck, and it is believed that the bodies of several others are still buried in the mass of broken iron and wood.- Eight persons thought to be fatally injured were taken to a hotel at Pierson. The men are at work endeavoring to reach the dead and injured who are still imprisoned. Several physicians accompanied the wrecking train to the scene. The railroad detectives caught several thieves at work at the scene of the disaster. locking and steering. He says of his associates: "Strange men I found those people���these off-scour- ings of the earth. Of course, profane, evil, yet under this rough exterior I found often a marvellous amount of mental capacity. Poor fellows! they all wanted to get away from the life, but they never did." Attempt on Chinese Minister. New York, August 14.���A special dispatch from Paris to the Evening Telegram today says: An artful attempt at poisoning by the use of perfume, whicli recalls memories from Lucrezia Borgia, is exciting all tho gossips of Paris. Thursday the Chinese minister, Yu Keng, received a letter. Ifc was signed Julie Czerwinska, and contained some dried flowers which the writer asked him to accept. The secretary of the lcgation,_Arv mani'de^Pai'mar^peuM^tliT^etter- and was immediately overcome by tho deadly odor emanating from the flowers. He fell in a faint. His faint was accompanied by sickness and vomiting, in fact his sickness had many characteristics of poison ing, and onlyby prompt treatment was ho relieved. Mile. Czerwinska has been arrested. She appears to be mentally deranged. Before the examining magistrate*' sho claimed to be fche victim of a Polish ��� princess, who vowed to tako hideous vengeance for some mysterious wrong done her, presumably by tiie flower-sending Julio, who is being carefully watched by alienists.

Boston, August 15.���Rev, Charles Merriam, of the Highland Congregational church of Lowell, Massachusetts, a Yale graduate and a former editor of the Yale News, in an old suit of clothes and a flannel shirt, with h(s belongings strapped in a blanket, left his home on May 11 th, and roughed it for three months, going from Boston to Portland, Maine, and from there fco Colorado. He has just returned to his pulpifc. He mingled with the laboring folk, working as a deck hand on a canal boat and resorting to conventional travel only when he had to.

Victoria, August 15.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The principal event in the legislature today was the fighfc over the report of the railway committee, which was. against granting a charter for another road through Canadian territory to the Alaskan coast. The governmeufc took the same view on the ground that ifc was unwise to build up American towns on territory which is in dispute between the two countries. Mclnnes attacked premier Dunsmuir to the effect that his opposition was thafc of an interested party, who would benefit by an all Canadian railway from a British Columbia port iuto Atlin, avoiding the border line. The reprisal of the government is in line with the position of the Dominion government. 1'he mining committee today recommended that in quartz claims the cost; of a survey, irrespective of Avhen ifc Avas made, should be allowed as part, of fche assessment Avork, and thafc delinquent co-owners may be dispossessed by advertisement instead of by an action in court.

In have been a Tho govern- witli a large its majority upon terms, the precise nature of which are largely a matter of conjecture. Lieutenant-governor Mclnnes anticipated the convention ���which had been called to meet at Vancouver for the purpose of deciding upon a leader and forming a government. This convention ���was united upon one point only��� opposition to Joseph Martin���but when it came to selecting ministers for the new government, each and every member present considered that he had some special claim upon a portfolio. It was to a convention' of this temper that premier Dunsmuir and his two colleagues appealed for support. He received it, but upon terms, and the terms will be worked out with the close of the present session. What will happen after this is a matter for speculation. The most probable outcome appears to be the division of the house upon federal party lines. As to the desirability of this, public opinion has very greatly changed within the past few weeks. Many who opposed the introduction of party lines during the recent contest are now prepared to welcome it, and the new converts to tlio innovation may be sufficiently strong to bring it about. UTILITY OP SECOND CHAMBERS. statutory authority, except that of the supply bill, witli which the second chamber never interferes. The problem of the day is "not to check the house of commons, but to increase the power and authority of the house of commons, and to prevent its being encroached by the executive. There is also danger in the growing tendency of the executive to look beyond the house to the press, or some other agency, for the promulgation of public opinion. The press has, of course, its own legitimate sphere of usefulness, but it can never rightly take the place of parliament, with all its safeguards for full, free and orderly discussion. Many persons read only one newspaper, or one class of newspapers, and so never see more than one side of the case. No matter how bad a parliament may be,'it provides a forum where a false assertion can be instantly denied or a fallacious argument can be answered. Nothing can take its place, and it is a matter for regret that there is a growing tendency to curtail its power and authority and to increase that of the executive. A good deal of the argument whicli is advanced in favor of second chambers as checks is somewhat belated. It belongs to a time when it was feared that the democracy, exulting in its newly acquired power, would elect representatives full of schemes for upsetting or recasting the fabric of society. A senate full of sober-minded and experienced statesmen would reject these or delay them until the "sober second thought" of the people would have time to assert itself. Such is the theory, and nothing could be farther- away from the facts as Ave find them today in Great Britaiu, in Canada and in the United States. The check that is required today is not on legislation, but on executive power. Take the case of Great Britain. How little has parliament to do with the great affairs of the empire, with the goA'ernment of India, with the government of Egypt, Avith foreign relations, with the question of peace or Avar. . How helpless is parliament in the face of such a ��� Situation as has arisen in China, where the action of Great Britain must be determined by events as tliey arise. What member of parliament, however powerful, can arise and say that Britaiu ought to be allied AA'ith Germany against Russia, or the contrary, or what alliances ought to be made when the crisis of tho hour is past? On all these matters the execu- -tive-mustHbo���trustee It -pai-liamont- sorving the purpose only of a forum for discussion, and able to exercise its poAver only if it chooses to go so far as to vote want of confidence in the executive or to refuse supplies. Again, if the government Avere to adopt the rashest and most unwise measures in regard to India, or Kgypt, err Cliina, or South Africa, measures which might mean ruin to the empire, what would be the checking value of the house of lords? Its veto extends only to statutes, and 09 out of 100 of tne acts of a government require no Cameras Kodaks AND AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS' SUPPLIES OF ALL KINDS. CANADA mm ���ft BOOK CO. NELSON, B. C.

B., August.10.r-- New Brunswick is notorious as a supporter of governments and there is no reason,to.'.believe..thatAit. will. |'belie its reputation iii the elections jpwhieh are, now at hand. .-,-Conserya- ii tives all through the. province are boasting of their ability,,.to,.hold, their own, if not jto capture a hostile constituency or two. '^ They are merely whistling to keep their courage up. In,their hearts they know that the outlook is far from promising. Well informed Conservatives whose enthusiasm lias not impaired their judgment, frankly admit that the opposition, stands no I chance of making ,a gain, that it will ;be performing a great feat if it carries seven of the fourteen seats and that the probability is for even less.''.. Wl��ere Blair threatens more than one Conservative seat ^is, in his abil? ity to profit from his operations in the provincial field. Men -who were entluisiastic 'Conseryatiyes in Federal 'contests vstbbd by the government, of A;;G| Blair at Fredericton. 1 Among such, in fac.t, were,.. his ���3 strongest supporters. They were ��kno\yn." as Blair..'.men,, and,; their, friendship for , Blair .did -not.���;.,die with his'i'emoval to Ottawa. ��� IJpqn many of tliese njen the minister of Irailways mayTna^ppirot even as he ^cLk} in the days of his provincial ad- ,-ministration. In a provincejwhere political lines are so faintly drawn, where .political, principles aVe all but obscured, a personal following Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, ,B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. is of great value, and this Hon. A. G. Blair undoubtedly possessses.. By reason of the double influence which he can exert as a member of the Laurier government and former premier,, of New Brundwick, Blair will be able to put some powerful i(Mnd_idates=in=the=fieldf===An���illus-^ tration. of this strength is to be seen in the report, which may be taken for reliable, that Dr. Pugsley of St. John, will contest a constituency in the Liberal interests. Pugsley is au able man, suave, plausible, sociable; "Sweet William," thoy call him. He was a Liberal in Alexander Mackenzie's time, a Conservative while Sir John Macdonald was in power, and soon after the formation of the Laurier government became a Liberal. Pugsley is a Blair man, and it will be due to Blair's influence if he enters the field on be: half of the Liberal. party. .He is everywhere conceded a strong candidate. He may run in Kings, Dom ville going into the senate. This will make for the Liberals a sure constituency out of one which otherwise might be placed among the uncertain. In this manner Blair will operate all over the province. The strongest men will be induced to take up the fight of the Laurier government, and this argues no small success in the Liberal cause. In the elections of '90 the Conservatives won nine out of the fourteen seats. That contest came off with Blair behind the scenes. It will be strange if the score is not more favorable to the Liberal party in the coming elections, with Blair fighting in the open, and with all the influences Ottawa and Frederic- ton' can command.

Nkw York, August 15.���The Sun's correspondent at Pretoria says: "There is a strong, feeling here that immediate political measures should bo taken to bring the war, which is now degenerating into a series of marauding raids to a close. ,) "The number of burghers in the field is certainly diminishing, and those who are still fighting are held together partly by compulsion and partly by a feeling that there is no sufficient reason why they should surrender. They are also influenced to a certain extent-by the. large numbers of foreign adventurers now fighting -for them, not. 65 per cent of whom were in the country before the war." The correspondent interviewed several of the leading- Transvaalers on this subject, and they expressed, the opinion that Great Britain should annex.the country at once. Reasonable time should then be allowed to the genuine burghers to surrender their arms. If they failed to do this, the penalty should be confiscation of their property. Notice should be given to foreign adventurers that any of their class wifch arms would be sent to prison for long terms, and any foreigner using arms wifch fatal effect would be punished with death.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-08-16 |
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. |
