NELSON: FRIDAY MORNING AUGUST 17 1900 PRICE MVE CENTS I fi Ll HUNG CHANG'S APPEAL Wants Advance Stopped. Washington, August 10.���The department of state makes public tonight the communications exchanged today between the Chinese minister, Mr. Wu and the acting secretary, of state. The following memorandum was handed to Mr. Adee by Mr. Wu at 8 o'clock this morning: "A cablegram from Li Hung Chang, envoy plenipotentiary of China, dated August 15th and received by minister0 Wu at " p.m. The allied forces are ap proaching Tung Chow. I have memorialized the imperial government to depute an armistice with the several commanders on the spot. 1 will also shortly proceed to Pekin. '���The powers being fully aware of the embarrassing position in which their majesties, the empress dowager and the emperor, are placed, are earnestly requested to telegraph instructions to their respective ..'commanders to stop their further advance to the capital so as not to cause alarm and fear to their majesties and calamities to the people. For such an advance would shake tho foundations of the Chinese empire and wound the feelings of all her people, high and low. Please communicate this cablegram at once to the secretary of state." " The followng memorandum iu reply Avas handed to Mr. Wu this afternoon : "Forseeing that there would bo insufficient time after receiving a reply to our memorandum of August 12th, to get instructions to the relief column before it had reached I'ekin, wo sent on the same day to the general commanding the American forces in China the following dispatch: " 'Adjutant-general's office, AVasli- ingtou, August 12th.���Fowler, Che- Foo for Chaffee, r Tho secretary, of war directs me to inform you that Li Hung Chang, appointed, by the Chinese government to negotiate Avith the powers, requests the cessation of hostilities. We have replied" that avc are ready to '"enter into an agreement betAveen the poAA'ors and the Chinese government for a cessation of hostilities on condition that a suflicient body of the force's composing the relieY'expedition shall bo permitted to enter Pekiu unmolested aud to escort the foreign ministers and residents back' to Tien-Tsin, the movement being provided for aud secured by such arrangements and dispositions of troops as shall be considered satisfactory by the generals commanding the allied forces. Wo have communicated this to all the powers. The Japanese government take's the same position. Wo have not heard from the other poAvers. (Signed) Corbin.' "Two days ago, in vieAv of the rapid progress of the relief expedition, AA*e sent the folloAving: 'Fowler, Che-Foo (for Chaffee). In anticipation of the acceptance by =-the Chinese-government of-the^con- ���j ^itions iu our reply to them, cabled you on August 12th, if the Chinese authorities communicate their willingness to deliver the ministers and the persons under their protection to the relief column at Pekin, under arrangements which you consider safe, you are authorized to make aud carry out arrangements in concert Avith the other commanders, Avithout referring it here. From informal communications with tho representatives of other governments here, avo believe that all take substantially the same position. The question Avhether you should insist upon entering Pekin and going to the legations, or Avill receive delivery at the gate of the inner -Tartar.'city or at the outer wall, taking the risk of the ministers passing through the city Avith only a Chinese escort, you and the other generals must determine. By order, secretary of war, Corbin.' "We are advised by minister Conger that the attacks by imperial troops upon the legations in Pekin Slave not ceased. While these attacks continue, Ave cannot stop the advance of our forces toward Pekin. If such attacks cease the above quoted, information will be jinoAved to stand and they would seem to provide for all the action required under the circumstances stated by earl Li iri his dispatch.

Neinethy, according.to a dispatch from Vienna to the Daily Express, drank a virulent poison instead of the colored, water supposed to be used on the stage. Mme. Nemethy fell before the horrified audience and died an hour later. Hoav poison came to be substituted for the colored Avater has not yet been ascertained, but it is believed, the correspondent asserts, that Mme. Nemethy was quite ignorant of the deadly nature of the drink. Actress' Tragic Death. London, August 10.���While performing at the Royal Opera House, .Buda-Pest, the well knoAvn opera The latest dispatch from minister Conger was scanned with eager interest, but it brought little information beyond that already.in hand. In one respect, hoAvever, it gave the government strong encouragement, as it Avas almost a categorical answer to the inquiries of the state department. This AA'as the first definite knowledge that the goA'ern- ment Avas in direct touch with its miuister. Knitter Would Have Peace. London, August 10.���A British correspondent recently released from captivity at Nooitgedacht asserts positively that Mr. Kruger Avishes peace, but that the fighting commandant insists upon continuing the war and would prevent his flight by force if necessary. The burghers, according to the same authority, share this view. The Transvaalers have .ninety guns at Machadodorp with abundant provisions. Steyn Reported Dead. London, August 16.���Former president Steyn, according to a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Lorenzo Marquez,' dated; yesterday, is reported to have died while endeavoring to reach Kruger, as the result of a severe wound. Colored Cavalry for China. San Francisco, August 16.���The transport Warren sailed today with the Ninth (colored) cavalry for Taku by way of Nagasaki. WASHINGTON VERY ANXIOUS Chinese Negotiations. Washington, August 16.���At the close of a day of intense anxiety the department of state tonight j made imblic the latest correspondence betAveen the United States and China, constituting not only ;a remarkable series of state papers,, but at the same time dispelling all doubt and uncertainty as to the American policy- in the present critical juncture. The urgent and most pathetic appeal of Li Hung Chang submitted early in the day that the victorious march of the allies stop at Tung GhoAv, and that the military commanders on the field be instructed to arrange an armistice at that point was met with a response that general Chaffee already had been given complete instructions empoAvering him to carry out an arrangement in con-; cert Avith the other commanders for the delivery of the ministers and persons under their protection to the relief column, not at Tung ChoAV as had been suggested, but at the imperial city of Pekin. Furthermore, it was made known to China that general Chaffee's instructions left him a free rein as to Avhether he should insist upon entering Pekiu' and going to the legations or should receive the delivery of tho legationers at the gate of the inner Tartar city or at the great outer Avail. In short, China, through her peace envoy," besought a halt and an armistice at Tung CIioav twelve miles- from Pekin, Avhereas the response of the American goA'erninent AA'as that if there is to be a halt or an armistice it must bo at the Avails of the imperial city. The conclusions of the government Avere announced after an extended, cabinet meeting, and Avere embodied in the following official statement: At the same time, the authorities gave out the latest dispatch from minister Conger received today through the Chinese minister Mr. Wu. It will be V observed that the American memorandum of the reply gives Li Hung Chang practically nothing beyond a repetition of the two-dispatches heretofore sent to general Chaffee. Thus there can be no misunderstanding "of the issue. Li Hung Chang's appeal for an armistice at Tung Chow is rejected, and the continually reiter- ated^dMrrand'of ^thTfTJflited- S tatesT that the ministers be delivered to the allied troops at Pekin is reinforced. PEKIN RELIEVED AT LAST Situation in Cliina. London, August 17.-3:15 a.m.��� A cablegram to Vienna from Hong Kong announces the capture of Pekin, but the Austrian government, like other European powers, is still without confirmation of the report. An official telegram, dated Taku, August 14th, has been received at Rome, Avhich asserts that the attack on Pekin began on Monday, that Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, has opened communication Avith the relieving force and that the allies have established their headquarters at Tung Chau. The Chinese officials in Shang- Hai are reported as admitting that the allies inflicted a heavy defeat on the Chinese imperial troops around Tung Chau on Sunday, and then marched direct on 7 Pekiu. That, if true, carries the Japanese official advances announcing the capture of Tung Chan, one step further. The western poAvers, according to a, dispatch to the Daily Express from Kobe, have accepted the proposals formulated by tfapan for arranging an armistice dependent upon the immediate delivery of the foreign legations to the allies or the granting of permission to the allied forces to enter Pekin and to guard the legations. Upon this basis, the correspondent says, Japan has already begun to negotiate. Shang-Hai dispatches declare the Chinese had intended to make an attack upon the legations last Sunday, but whether the plan Avas carried out or not ���is not known there. Prom the same place comes the statement that vice-admiral Seymour and brigadier-general Creigh have joined in the protest against the Avithdrawal of, the British troops. All the morning papers which comment on the subject appeal to lord- Salisbury not to withdraw them, and dilate upon the serious result of such an action to British prestige. The American negotiations looking to a cessation of hostilities also received considerable attention, favorable and otherA\*ise, but all the editorials agree that to precipitate a withdraAval from Pekin after the delivery of the legationers would have a bad effect upon the Chinese mind. Revolution Practically Ended. Victoria, August 10.���In a letter from Panama dated July 29 th an officer of II. M. S. Leander says the vessel was to leave there two days after the letter was Avritten. The revolution, the Avriter said, had practically ended. In some of the states the belligerents Avere still fighting. The Leauder's crew had done nothing but ambulance work. The belligerents left their dead and=wounded=on=the=field^for=three" or four days, and the sailors found their task most unpleasant for there Avas an' awful stench from the putrifying bodies. In one day 130 Avounded were brought in. Many refugees came to the Leander. On July 21st general Lozada of the government troops was roAved out to tho ship. He returned ashore four days later and fought in the ranks as a private. '._._.'. Boer Officers in New York. Neav York, August 10.���Matthew Kane and Peter F. Oates, Avho were oflicers in the Boer army, arrived here today on the French lino steamer La Bretagne. When Pretoria surrendered they determined to leave South Africa for good. Oates said he saw president Kruger just before he left. He was in good health and had his headquarters in a railway carriage. These officers say that the war in South Africa has become guerrilla in its nature. They will settle in this country, and say that many others will do likewise as soon as they can get away from South Africa. Not Enough Gate Money. Minneapolis, Minnesota, August 17.���The ball game scheduled to be played here today with Kansas City was called on account of poor attendance. It will be played in Kansas City later. Allies Suffer From Heat. London, August 10.���General sir Alfred Gaselee, commanding the contingent of troops from India in China, has wired to the government from Ma Tow under date of August'11th, via Che Poo, August 15th, as follows: ^J'Arrived here this morning early, after a most trying night march. : The troops of all nationalities arn ��� suffering severely from the he*v��. Ten of our horses died yesterday from sunstroke. The. enemyis believed to be eutrenched north of Chang Chia Wan. There is no further news from the legations.'' General Gaselee sends tAvo earlier, i dispatches repeating advices already received by. the British government. HOUSE DISCUSSES BUDGET Turner's Speech. Victoria, August 10���[Special to The Tribune]���Fvha'nce minister Turner made his :\budget speech today, and the first night session of the session was held. The debate Avas finished early in the evening, and the house immediately went into committee of the -whole and pushed through the' various votes at a rapid rate. ..There were feAV speeches made, the opposition contenting themselves by letting a few of the leaders make the usual kicks against the government and not taking up time, Avitli the exception of young Mclnnes, who talks like a firebrand, but .makes ' himself so silly that nobody pays much attention. .. Turner went into the various figures presented in the estimates and pointed out the salient points. The chief feature was .that he was able to show an expanding revenue in part from neAV income, and the rest from a natural increase in the business of theproArince. He figured a net increase of $209,000. The change in the mineral tax, he said, would require the Jarger metalliferous mines to-pay.'a'greater percentage on their output, but Avould relieve the smaller properties. A higher import'will be placed on timber, the tax on large incomes will be increased and the iicav tax on the coal output Avill realize $70,000. This tax is five cents a ton in addition to, five cents a ton royalty. Turner showed how the stock of British Columbia in Loudon had dropped OAving to unsettled conditions. The large increase on public Avorks, $300,000 more than last year, was, he said, because the last government had alloAved public works to fall into disrepair. He dAvelt on the fine results of the government's expenditures in Kootenay, and intimated that the government would do what it could to secure an all Canadian railway into the Yukon. The railway committee reported favorably today on tho railway from Kitamaat arm to the interior. A bill to relievo the Canadian volunteers serving in South Africa from non-compliance with the mining regulations in regard to their claims Avhile theyare absent Avas introduced today amid applause from both sides^pf the house.

NEWS OF THE SLOGAN MINES Much Work Going On. Kaslo, August 16.���[Special to The Tribune.]���-Tom McGuigan was iu town the other day and announced that the American Boy Company is going to build a wagon road from, the high tower on the Last Chance trannvay to the mine. The American Boy ore Avill then be shipped down the Last Chance tramway. It is the intention to ship both in bulk and in sacks. Caleb Freeman left last week to start work on the L.-.D. fraction adjoining the Legal Tender on Noble S?ive mountain. The interest of A H. Williams, Avife of J. H. Williams, in the Bertha claim near the Dardanelles, has been seized by the sheriff to satisfy a county court judgment obtained by H. Giegerich, against Williams for $86. The sheriff has "also seized Philip McVicars interest in a promissory note for $2500 issued by the BritanniaMiningCompauy. Thisalso Avill be sold to satisfy a claim of H. Giegerich's for $643. T. N. Barnard of Wallace, Idaho, Avho is uoav Avorking the Irene, Eva, Mary and Sherlock, in the Upper Duncan for a United States company which he recently formed, returned to Kaslo on Saturday from the other side and went back to Lardo again on the Argenta Tuesday. He does not expect to come out from the mines until October. "I shall probably remain at the claims until we are forced to close down," he said to a Tribune reporter. Mr. Barnard is as enthusiastic as ever over his property, but he, like all others, greatly deplores the lack of railway communication which is keeping back one of the finest districts in the whole of British Columbia. Still, like the Ban - nockburn people and others, Mr. Barnard is getting ready so as to be able to ship as soon as the railway comes and it cannot be very much longer delayed. This season ' has seen some good work done in the Lardo Duncan and though there is_ little probability of any raihvay movement there this year the Avhistle of the engine should be heard next year. . James Mackay Anderson, western manager of the Gold Hills Exploration Company of Toronto, was in town for several days this Aveek. He reports that the company's properties in Lardo are showing up AArell. He has kept to the policy outlined early in the season, namely, of doing the assessment work on the very large number of claims that the company OAvns but at the same time particular attention has been paid to the Chicora group situated about three miles from HoAvser lake. From specimens of rock exhibited in the town it seems as if the Chicora has the ear marks of a promising property. Very encouraging work has also been done on the MerryKn_gland^Kroup_situ*L_ nected by a wagon road with the Rambler Cariboo and the* Dardanelles mines, a distance of six miles. A continuation of the wagon road up the mountain would reach several shipping mines and a considerable number of prospects, which are likely to become producers of ore if facilities [of cheaper access and transportation are afforded. The petition goes on: "If the government will contribute one-half of the cost of the Wagon road not exceeding 'two miles in length from the Rambler Cai'iboo wagon road to the Antoine basin, it will be possible to procure contributions fromt-the owners of properties interested to the extent of the remaining half." ated about seven miles from the Duucan river up HoAvser creek. There are three leads on this property aud Mr. Anderson is Avell satisfied with the season's work upon the group. This Toronto company is a pioneer of eastern corporations as far as the Lardo-Duncan is concerned and its operations, if successful, will doubtless help to bring more eastern Canadian money here. The local oflice of the Nelson aud Slocan Development Company has been moved from Nelson to Kaslo and Charles Caldwell has been appointed resident manager. E. L. Sawyer and his Toronto friends are largely interested in the concern, the chief properties of Avhich are the Pontiac and Tecumseh, recently purchased from Frank Heap. The company has put men to work on its just acquired properties and hopes to make a good showing Avithin a short time. Alex. Smith Avho has just got back from the Lardo states that the Bannockburn will be worked to the latest possible date this season ; that is until the suoav makes it impossible for men to remain at the property. A petition is being extensively signed asking for the continuation of the Rambler Cariboo Avagon road to the Antoine basin. J. C. Ryan takes an active interest in the matter and has been instrumental in securing a large number of signatures. The petition is addressed to the chief commissioner of lauds and Avorks and sets forth that the petitioners are interested in mining properties tributary to McGuigan railway station on the Kaslo and Slocan raihvay. McGuigan is con- CONCERT WAS SUCCESSFUL Interesting Program. The R. M.

Perhaps the best." event on the program was the Avr'estling match between Tom Davis and' Oat'a, the Japanese. Davis Avas in splendid condition, weighed in heavier than his Oriental opponent, and had the best of the bout, Avinning two out of three falls. The Jap had the short end as to age, weight, condition and skill,* but the match Avas in earnest from the drop of the hat and proved to be a pretty exhibition. The Jap played fair and took his defeat gamely, whil Davis' win evoked loud applause. Professor Parker contributed several clever sketches and stories to the program. Tom Davis and Dick Slugg boxed three clever rounds. The bout was declared a draw. Songs Avere given by W. J. Caldwell, G. R. Williamson, J. Devlin arid Jock Ness. The chair was occupied by W. A.

THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Savings Bank Branch CURRENT RATE OP INTEREST PAID. VERACITY IN RELIGION. In the last issue of tbe Independent Goldwin Smith replies to a recent criticism of his book "Guesses at the Riddle of Existence," in .which he makes a plea for;veracity ' in dealing with religious dogmas ') that is pertinent and timely. The book in question, it may be explained, takes the ground that mankind will soon cease to believe in any supernatural religion. During the transition period the race will experience "a bad quarter .of an hour," owing to the disappearance of moral sanction. But it will eventually get used to a purely materialistic basis of conduct and continue the evolution upward and onward which has thus far been the law of its existence. For putting forth this view the; Independent called the book "a withering one," both to those "who have faith and to those who are groping in the dark toward it." But Mr. Smith objects'to this condemnation of his views, not so much because they are untrue as because they will have certain unpleasant or regrettable results. "In the present situation," he says, "our salvation lies in asking, not whether the thing is withering or reviving, but whether it is false or true. If it is false it will not be found reviving; nor, if it is true, will it be . found withering in the end. . . . The theological forum abounds in temporizing apologists who in their not unnatural desire to save cherished' tradition would have us put up with half measures of truth. Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. Before me lies a new 'Life of Christ,.' the work of one of the most eminent writers of this school,- throughout which the question . whether Christ was God or man is studiously, not to say artfully, evaded. Instead of stating his own conviction the writer vouches the authority_o��i "tbeTNicene Fathers, in whose infallibility it is impossible to suppose that he can believe. What good can be done by this?" Mr. Smith's vieAvs of religion may be wholly erroneous, and yet the plea for veracity which he. makes here is sound in principle and should be especially heeded by Christians today. No one who reads current Christian literature can fail to notice how often the defenders of dogma against the arguments of unbelievers content themselves with saying that tne surrender of this or that doctrine or tradition would produce certain disagreeable consequences. Yet the only question really at issue is the truth or falsity of the doctrine assailed.. And in this age, when veracity is becoming more and moro the ruling passion of the race, it is the one queseion that has any interest for thinking men.. It is always easy to conjure up the appalling consequence that will follow the giving up of some, old law or custom and the adoption of some new theory. Within the memory of men still living hundreds of eminent divines were denouncing the theory of evolution and showing how it would destroy all credibility in Christianity. But evolution is accepted and taught today by many Christian ministers, and it is no longer considered inconsistent with a sincere belief in Christian revelation. As to Mr. Smith's assertion that a belief in the supernatural is dying out it is still only a theory, and it is denied by many others quite as competent as he to form a judgment in the case. But it is no argument against the theory to picture the Imperial Bank of Canada - HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO. Capital Authorized Capital Paid up Rest $2,500,000 $2,458,603 $1,700,000 D. R.

For, should it turn out to be true, it will come finally to be accepted anyhow. Two courses are open ��� to the modern defender ' of super naturalism. He can assume that it rests on a divine revelation =to,man.=In=that=case^he-is=under= no obligation to. bring-forward any proofs in its favor except the bare assertion of the divinely commissioned church and priesthood. Or he can assume that the supernatural dogmas of Christianity can be proved to the reason of man. But whichever of these courses he elects to take be must abide by the consequences of his choice. If he rests his case on a divine revelation he must not try to rationalize some supernatural dogma in order to make it more palatable to the reason. He must be content to say that it is divinely true, even though it transcends or contradicts reason. Or, if he contends that Christianity is capable of rational proof, like any other historical fact, he must abide by the laws of evidence, even when they make against the credibility of some doctrine which he; considers essential. He cannot declare that Christianity is ready to 'meet the severest tests of scientific investigation and then, when investigation appears to disprove some cherished view, take refuge in. the assertion that the view in question is part of "a divine revelation and therefore to be accepted whether it can be proved or not. Lord Wolseley Displeased; London, August 16.���Viscount Wolseley, field marshal and commander-in-chief of the British army, delivered today, according to the Daily Mail, the most scathing condemnation ever heard at Alder- shot. After witnessing yesterday's manoeuvres he declared the 30,000 men who participated were utterly unfit to send abroad, being badly led and badly taught. Many dis tinguished officers listened to these remarks, among them being general Montgomery Moore, formerly in command in Canada, but now commanding at Aldershot.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-08-17 |
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. |
