NELSON: WEDNESDAY MORNING AUGUST 22 J900 PRICE FIVE CENTS DISCUSS CHINESE AFFAIRS Washington Cabinet Meets. "Washington, August 21.���The cabinet session today practically opened the consideration of the momentous questions growiug out of the capture of Pekin and the war in China. Until today's ses- siou the absorbing question has been tho safety of minister Conger and the legationers at Pekin. Now, however, that has given place to problems of a more intricate-and far-reaching character touching the very existence of the Chinese empire, and the part which the American government is to take in the reconstruction of that country. The meeting today was devoted entirely to the Chinese situation. Several questions were awaiting attention. First of these was the application of Li Hung Chang for the appointment of minister Conger or some other commissioner to negotiate for the cessation of hostilities. The decision arrived at was to reject tho appeal, and a reply of this character Avill be sent to minister Wu to be forwarded to Li Hung -Chang. Tho moving cause for /this action is that the American government is at present A*ery much in the dark as to whether there is an existing , government in China. With the capital in . the hands of the allies, the emperor and empress dowager fugitives in hiding and the entire governmental fabric paralyzed, there is no evidence of au authority adequate to conduct negotiations and secure results which will bo final and binding. It was stated by members of the cabinet that the Chinese establishment, instead of being a government, appears to be an enormous, headless affair without knowledge of what is for its best good' aud without power to enforce its wishes. With the recognized ruler in flight, no one seems to know why anybody is directing its affairs. As China is an absolute monarchy without any legislative branch, the emperor and ;��� empress "dowager ��are",-all-pu\,verrii'Jr and practically they are the empire of China. Under the present remarkable conditions, the United States will act with extreme caution ii^Vhatever steps ifc may take to- v&rd a solution of the pending problems. In the meantime, there is reason to~believo that the United States and the powers interested will keep their armed forces on the ground, so that order may be maintained and at least a semblance of stable government brought out of the existing chaos. The-reply of the United States government to the appeal of the viceroys of Nankin and Hunan that no indignities be offered the emperor and empress dowager is a formal acknowledgment of the receipt of the communication with a satisfactory assurance thafc no jndig_ni_ties_=__win^be^_offered���the- persons of their majesties. The ^reply is couched in the polite language of diplomacy, but it is understood that it does not in any way commit the government to a-efrain from imposing on the emperor and empress dowager auy penalty that subsequently might be decided upon in case ifc is proved that they were directly responsible for tho recent atrocities. This question of fixing responsibility where it belongs and imposing any punishment that may be deemed fitting has not received formal consideration as yet. The answer wifch which the two viceroys' appeal is mefc, accordingly is a diplomatic assurance that the rights of the emperor, and empress dowager will be protected, but does not impose any barrier to a proper punishment such as may be sanctioned by civilized usage for any offense which hereafter may be held to call for an'accounting. This is the interpretation given the reply by the cabinet officials tonight. The question of responsibility will have to be worked out slowly. The cabinet had before it a message from minister Conger received last night. After the meeting the state department made public portions of the dispatch as follows: "United States Legation, Pekin (undated) via Che-Foo, August 20.���To the secretary of state, Washington.���Saved. Relief arrived today. Entered the ci fcy with; little." trouble. . I do not know where the imperial family is. Except the deaths already reported, all Americans are alive and well. jDesperafce efforts were made last night to exterminate us. Mitchell, an American soldier, a Russian and a Japanese were wounded: a German killed. (Signed) Conger, by Fowler, Che-Foo." It had been hoped that minister Conger's advices, as well as those from general Chaffee, would be ample by this time, in order to afford the Washington officials full opportunity to deal wifch the perplexing questions raised by the Chinese disturbances. General Chaffee has not yet been heard from and the Conger message was not as complete as tho authorities had desired. Ifc was stated today that messages may be sent from here to the United States' representatives in China specifically calling for more detailed information. Aside from the consideration given to particular questions raised by the Conger dispatch, the appeal of Li Hung Chang and that of the southern viceroys, the cabinefc also had time to look over the broad field of Chinese affairs. Thereiwas no effort, however, at this early stage to outline a general policy. Thafc will come later and will be, to a considerable extent, the growth of the government's action upon the various issues that may be presented. �� attackIecunITchinese Missionaries' Story. New York, August 21.���Dr. G. P. Smith, medical missionary of the London mission, who was attached to the hospital at Tien Tsin arrived in the city today on his way to England. He gave the highest praise to the troops of all nationalities who took part in defending the foreigners. '" He left Tien-Tsin some time before the city was captured, bufc he was there all the time np to July oth. The fighting began on June 17th. On the 10th he said the Chinese could easily have overwhelmed the foreign settlement if they had attacked the Manchu college. The .foi*eicn_trp.ons_J;hen. numbered not much over 200, aiid-that part of the" line of'defence was left unoccupied. Dr. Smith also said: "I have seen ifc stated that the allies- began the "attack, bufc that is incorrect. The allies sent an ultimatum, demanding the surrender of the Manchu college by 3 p. ni. on June 17th. At 2:30 p. m. the Chinese opened fire. They fired afc Gordon Hall, where they knew the women and children were gathered. The first shot struck the building, but low down and the Chinese could not see it. Then they elevated the gun and they did not get the range again that day. The Chinese got information from spies all the time. Some spies even let carrier pigeons loose from the foreign section. The hospital was not injured at all, though shells struck all around us. We prayed that none of the Avounded iri the hospital should be hit, and none of them were." ' Inquiry as.to Lee and Dickson. Lieutenant G. S. Beer received a telegraphic messagef rom lieutenant- colonel Benson, D. O. C, yesterday asking him to wire information as to the next of kin of W. J. G. Dickson and A. S. Lee, Avho went to South Africa Avitli the first Canadian contingent. This is generally thought to indicate that the men have been killed or died in hospital. Mr. Beer telegraphed to ask Avhether Dickson and Lee were reported dead. The reply Avas that colonel Benson had not been advised as to this fact. Seymour Gave No Quarter. Berlin, August 21.���General attention has been attracted by an interview published here in the Frankfurt Frankfurter Zeitung between that paper's correspondent at Tokio and lieutenant von Krohn, who Avas wounded in. admiral Seymour's expedition. Lieutenant von Krohn says: "At the beginning the Avounded Boxers were sent to the hospitals at Tien-Tsin. but ib was seen later that this was a mistake, hence an order was given to kill all Chinamen able to stand, and not even to spare the wounded, but particularly to make absolutely no prisoners whatever." Sailors' Strike Ended. Marseilles, August 21.���The strike of the sailors, Avhich began here about ten days ago, came 'to an end this afternoon, when 2��n agreement was reached. Work will be renewed on all the steamship lines tomorroAV. | HOW THEY CAPTURED PEKIN Details of the Tight. Pekin, August 14.���Via Che-Foo, August 21.���The American and Russian flags were planted on the east wall of Pekin at 11 o'clock this morning. The Indian troops entered the British legations at 1 o'clock and the Americans at 3 o'clock. There was a joyful reception from the wall. The emaciated tenants could have lasted but a little longer. They had only three days', rations. The Chinese had been attacking furiously for two days. 'Four thousand shells fell in the legation during the siege. Sixty-five were killed and 160 Avounded. ��� The Japanese began the" battle before daylight and they are still fighting about the north wall, Avhere part of the Chinese are defending the imperial cifcy. The Japanese casualties have not yet been ascertained. The Russians had five killed and 12 wounded. The Americans and British had a few wounded. The plan wa3 to make a general attack tomorrow and' the troops were arriving at camp five miles east last night. They were completely exhausted .and slept in the cornfields in the rain. - The generals, however, alarmed afc the sounds of a heavy attack on the legations, pushed forward inde-' pendeutly, the British, Americans and French on the lef t of the river and the Russians and Japanese on the right. Beginning at 2 o'clock this morning the Japanese diverted the brunt of the resistance to the northern city, their artillery engaging the Chinese heavily there. The Americans and British met with little resistance until they entered the city, Avhere there was street fighting. Reilly's battery attempted to breach the inner wall. The troops finally entered the foreign settlement through the canal. The Chinese had continually violated'the armistice. The food supply sent to' the legations - by the empress dowager was sufficient for one~aay.~-"~T~~~-~~ "'" - - - -"- :: -" ELECTRIC LIGHTS ON AGAIN Work on the .Dam. The electric lights on the circuit supplying the business portion of the city ,were in operation last night, and the city engineering staff hopes to keep the system in Avorking order until the repairs to the dam are complete, and all the circuits once more in shape. They propose to replace the section of the- dam which went out, with the change that the new portion will be at an angle of aboufc 35 degrees, so that the Avhole will have a purchase on the rock bluff in the center. The city engineer does not believe-that- he_will_find���rdck~~at~ the east end of the dam, although several feet will be excavated to find a solid basis if possible. Failing a rock foundation the crib work will be heavily weighted and padded with clay on the face to prevent; leakages. The leak Avhich caused the trouble had been known to exist for some, time before the crisis occurred and great efforts tad been made to stop the hole. On several occasions, when the men left at night, the dam was perfectly water-tight, bub next morning, the Avater would be going through as before some distance beloAV the woodwork of the structure. The theory is advanced, that the water seeped through a substratum of gravel. The city engineer, however, guarantees to build a dam which will last. .Russia Borrows Money, London, August 22.���It is reported in Odessa, according to a dispatch to the Daily Express, that in consequence of the strain upon Russia's financial resources owing to the Chinese campaign, a specially accredited representative of the Russian minister of finance, M. De Witte, has concluded or is about to conclude an arrangement with a syndicate of all the great insurance companies in the United States for a loan of 300,000,000 roubles. Wild West Show Not Billed. Milavaukee, August 21.���A special to the Sentinel from Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, says: Vavra, a special policeman, shot Charles Triangle, an artilleryman of the Wild West show, during an argument tonight. The affair caused a riot. Vavra escaped to a saloon under the protection of marshal Lindner and policensKan 3IerrilI, who were seriously injured. The mob of the Wild West show broke into the saloon just as VaA'ra left it and completely demolished the interior of the building; ' ��� Vavra's house was also Avrecked. An appeal was also made to colonel Cody (Buffalo Bill) who quieted the mob. Everything Avas quiet at midnight and no further trouble* was expected. r Hop Fiend Suicides. London, August 22.���An inquest held at Liverpool yesterday inquiring into the ci'rcur-stances attend: ing the death of Kslly, a shipping clerk, revealed the'fact that he came to England from Pasadena, California, Avhere his wife and child now reside.

London, August 22.���In the news that reaches London - this morning direct from Chinathere is nothing to confirm the report that the empress dowager has been run to earth. The foreign envoys, according to the Shang-Hai correspondent of the Daily Express, are proceeding to Tien-Tsin. }The same correspondent avers tha.t-.the sacred city Avas entered on August 15th, two days earlier than rear-admiral Bruce reported.- 7 "The flags of the allies," says the Shang-Hai correspondent of the Daily Mail, ...wiring yesterday, "are floating over the' imperial palace. Street fighting,; however, continues. Considerable assistance in' the capture of Pekin -wasRendered by'4000 "ami cu- -liti w v _������ Christians:.;, -The. legations Avere enabled to hold out by purchasing ammunition from the Chinese." The American action in refusing to .deal Avith Li Hung Chang in the peace proposals meets wifch -unanimous approval afc the hands of the morning papers. The Standard says : "We imagine that the other powers Avill take the same course, at any rate until earl Li produces satisfactory evidence of his authority to negotiate." The Daily Chronicle says : "Mr. Conger has at last opened the eyes of the state department to the real character of the orientals." -. The Daily Express prints this morning, a long letter said to have been wrifcten by vice-admiral Seymour in which he stoutly defends his action_in_ady_ancing_to_the-reIief- of the legationers. Among other things admiral Seymour is said to have written : "Two or three times our prospects were very dark and disaster seemed probable. Yet I never regretted that I had started, as I could not have respected myself if I had not done so." Referring to the difficulties of controlling mixed troops and their characteristics, he says: "The Germans were admired most, but for dash aud go none surpassed or perhaps equalled the Americans. The French had no particular rapprochement with any other nationality. The Germans and Russians Avere inclined to hold together, but the Arnericans were AVith us always." Maner Won Easily.

London, August 21.���Truth tomorrow Avill publish correspondence^ advisiug that paper of the seizure at Pretoria of a compromising letter from Montague White, former consul-general of the South African Republic in London, to secretary of state Reitz, dated August 4th, 1899, and tAvo letters from Henry Labou- chere to Mr. White dated August 2ud. 1899, and August 4th, 1899, which Mr. White appears to have enclosed to secretary Reitz, and a letter of Joseph Chamberlain's, the secretary of state for the colonies, inviting Mr. Labouehere to' offer explanations or observations thereon and Mr. Labouchere's reply. ��� Mr. Labouchere's letters are brief and amount to advice to the Transvaal to- gain time by acceptance of the proposed commission to settle the franchise question, etc., together Avith an expression of opinion from sir Henry Campbell-Banner- man, the Liberal leader in thechouse of commons, and the Liberals generally, that the British cabinet proposed the appointment of the commission Avith a view of giving Mr. Chamberlain a chance to "climb down," and that the cabinet was determined to have no war. \ He also said: "The paper has a great opportunity to give Joe an* other fall. The great thing is to" gain time. In a few months we shall be hoAvling about something else in another political world." Mr. Labouchere's reply to Mr. Chamberlain admits that the Tetters are' genuine, but declines to recognize Mr. Chamberlain's "pretension to ask for an explanation'-' on a matter concerning which he is "only responsible to parliament and my constituents, and invites Mr. Chamberlain in the pursuance of "his new diplomacy," to publish all correspondence between the "colonial office and the governors of Natal and Cape Colony and between .the governors and . military commanders in South Africa, so that the public may. be able to form a sound opinion on the whole business, including .fcb*�� jnnripmmtp preparations and. initial reverses, arid also and especially the HaAvks- ley correspondence."

GERMANY AND MEDIATION Various Press Opinions. FITZ WILL JIOTBE BOUGHT Refused a Big Offer. Neav York, August 21.���The World tomorrow will say that Bob Fitzsimmons has been offered $100,'- 000 to lose his fight Avifch Sharkey and fchat Fitz treated the suggestion Avith contempt. The proposition is said to have come in a letter from Montreal Avhich Avas signed "R. S.," and Avhich Fitz declares he knows to be genuine. The Avriter assured the ex-champion he was worth $180,000 iu cold cash_and gaA'e.bank- refeicnces. He explained Iioav much the sum named Avould mean to Fitz and endeavored to show how no chances Avould be taken by accepting it. The Canadian said lie Avas eager to arrange matters in order that he might begin making bets at 10 to 8 odds. In speaking of the offer, Fitz said : "I am money proof. To show I speak the truth, just before my fight with "Corbett at Carson City, I Avas offered $75,000 to lay down and I preferred the SAVeets of victory to defeat and ill-gotten gains. Two bankers tried to buy me there, and they had the money ready to pay over as soon as I consented. I refused to talk Avith them at all just as I refuse to meet the man who offers me $100,000 to bunco the public this time." Fitz declined to make the letter from the Montreal person public in its entirety because he did not care to compromise a friend even though on evil bent. Mysterious Wreckage.

Li Hung Chang's latest request to Washington ' for mediation, a high official of the German foreign office said to the correspondent of the Associated Press today: "Germany is waiting' to see what an- sAver the United States will make. If Washington is convinced that earl Li represents any responsible Chinese-government, it could, of course, undertake a mediatory role for the establishment of peace, but Germany is confident that..in any case' the United' States will not separate themselves from the con-' cert of the powers." . Asked if China now offered a' satisfactory indemnity for the murder of baron . von Ketteler,' the German minifA<p��,-w}K��<-.h��r.G*>rm��.riVr wouidf be willing to make peace. The official replied : - "Matters have not yet advanced far enough to go into that, but there is no question of territorial conquest or of inflicting heavy blows, but merely of reestablishing orderly conditions in China." The German papers are discussing what is to be done next. The Vossische Zeitung asserts that Germany will not go beyond the other powers in demanding expiation for Avrongs��done, but will go as far as the rest. Ifc says that "the demand of satisfaction must not degenerate into a brutal cry for vengeance." The VorAvaerts, a Socialist organ, sharply blames the government for refusing all information concerning its future policy in China. _^ ���TheBerliner'Post'iriaintains'that ifc is premature to think that diplomatic negotiations alone are now sufficient to secure satisfaction, for the murders in the past and guarantees for the future.

The effect of a division of this kind would in a measure depend upon which of the two old political parties secured the co-operation of the labor members. In the present house they practically hold the balance of power as against the two contending parties for Dominion supremacy. Ifc is the knowledge of this which makes the party managers careful about making a move. With the stories that come from China, of the British and American soldiers fighting side by side, the tail-twisters in the United States can make but little headway in creating an anti-British sentiment. Admiral Seymour's report, that for dash and go none of the European troops equalled those of the United States, will not be without its ef-. feet upon the American people, and his inference that they were the only troops that cordially co-operated with the British, discredits the impression of bad feeling which the -J 1_LX\- U-JWIU i-lCVIO -CtUWL-Ljjv ��� . ._, Sunday's Colonist small advertisement !; ��� ��� - .

There is no longer any man in provincial politics who can boast of the personal following which was enjoyed by the late John Robson or the late Theodore Davie. The present government depends not iipon one member of the cabinet, hut upon three or four of them. It is a combination of the Turner, party, the Mainland Conservative party, the Cotton party and the Labor party, and represents nothing more than a truce-for the present session. The very uncertainty as to what will succeed it makes the position of the present ministers insecure, and strengthens fche position of the ad- contains a which may mean a great deal to the people of Vancouver Island. It is signed by the Wellington Colliery Company and is to the effect that five hundred white miners and mine laborers are wanted at the Wellington, Extension and Comox mines. These mines are all controlled by premier Dunsmuir and it looks as if one of the greatest election promises will be kept. Mr, Houston has received an assurance from the finance minister, that the amounts owing to the merchants and business men of Nelson by the provincial government, in connection with the recent smallpox scare, will be paid out of the -grant"of"$6000"fdf-the expensesTof the provincial board of health.

VAN ANDA MINE TROUBLES. The Province. Steamer Comox came in last night from Port Neville, Shoal Bay. News of a somewhat startling nature was brought down by a passenger. It is no more nor less than that the Van Anda mine may close down. The miners working for the company have not been paid for some time, it is asserted, aud when they do get something in the shape of wages, get it in checks, which the0 banks refuse to cash. The Province's informant is to consult a lawyer in the matter, and states that the men say they are tired of working for their board, though they will not repeat their strike, of two years ago, but will simply quit. They are advised that they can get three months wages ahead even of the debenture holders, and think it is of no use losing any more of their time���particularly as the winter season is approaching. The system of management, according to the men, is to give them all the worst of it. They are never paid until their Lady operator���graduate electrician. For a few weeks at the Hume Hotel, room 15.

THE KRUGER PLOT. .Vow York World. When, at au early stage of the campaign, Oom Paul manifested concern at the growing number, of British prisoners then located on the race course in Pretoria, he had more reason for his anxiety than he or anybody else supposed. It now appears that his decision to form a new camp for them at Waterval, on the Pieterburg railway, added to the fact that pre-occupatiou by affairs of state and the general advance of the enemy's forces, then beginning, so engrossed his attention as to preclude him from continuing his visits to the race course, alone averted what would have been the most sensational development of the war���to wit, the capture of the president and of the fort commanding the Pretoria magazines by almost 2000 prisoners. What the upshot of the contemplated coup d'etat would have been is not easy to conjecture, for the conspirators had no idea that the war would bo prolonged beyond a few weeks. It was in December. Buller was on his way to the relief of Ladysmith, Methuen had started to raise the siege of Mafeking, and Gatacre was advancing to invade the Free State from the south. It was argued that in a few weeks the Imperial army would be investing the Transvaal capital. The daring plot originated among the non-commissioned officers, by Avhom it has now been disclosed, and the details have been made public in the South African news- - Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S.( Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. papers. It was carefully devised, and there seems to be little doubt that it could have been successfully carried out. The broad lines of the scheme were as follows: The president occasionally visited the race course in his state carriage ascorted by half a dozen Zarps. -N"oticeof~his"comiri"g_was generally' received by the guards, and became known to the prisoners, who hung around to see him. The next time the carriage entered the gates a couple hundred men were to be seen loitering about the avenues adjacent to the entrance. Others were to form small groups near the 50 sentries on duty around the course. Parties of a dozen men, each commanded \_y a non-commissioned oflieer, were to take, care of the tents in which the guards off duty wero reading, sleeping or smoking. Every man was to have some duty assigned to him, and to attend strictly to his particular busines. It had been noticed that whenever the president put in an appearance itdistracted the attention of the guards, and that some of the detachment in charge ot a Maxim which overlooked the race course opposite the gate and about 30 yards from it sauntered down to see what was going on. At a given signal, as the carriage entered the gates, it was to be sur- roiinded and the escort seized. Simultaneously a dash was to be made for the Maxim, the guards on and off duty���of which there were about 200���were to be overpowered and disarmed, and telephone connection with Pretoria was to be broken. It was argued that fear of hitting the president would prevent indiscriminate shooting by Boers who appeared on the scene. All this would have been the work of a moment, and within five minutes the force would have been dashing for the fort opposite the race course, and less than a mile away. The movement was to be Imperial Bank of Canada HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO. Capital Authorized Capital Paid up Rest $2,500,000 $2,458,603 $1,700,000 D. R. Wilkie, General Manager. E. Hay, Inspector.

Auy resistance by the few men in the_fort_"could~easily���have been overcome, and once inside, the 2000 men would have been masters of the situation. The prisoners had learned that many thousands of reserve rifles and a large quantity of ammunition were in the magazine directly below the defences of the fort," and that the storehouses of the fort were filled with provisions. With the president a hostage inside, it was agreed that the Boers would be afraid to shell or storm it, and iu any case the men were resolved to hold to it to the last. Pretoria would have been dominated by the guns of the fort. The authorities were to be informed that so long as the garrison were unmolested they would refrain from any overt act of hostility against the capital. It was intended, however, to co-operate with the British J. E. ANNABLE GENERAL BROKER investing army if on its arrival the Transvaal executive carried out its resolution to defend Pretoria. A strict injunction had been laid down that no personal affront should be offered president Kruger, and that he should be provided with every comfort and privilege that was not calculated to endanger the enterprise.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-08-22 |
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. |
