New York, August 20.���TJie Tribune's London cable letter deals extensively iu a discussion of the business and South African war situation aud tlieir political ramifications. ��� Ifc says in this connection in part: "Opinion on the far eastern question, which has oscillated during the last few weeks from the depth of despondency to optimism and back again, may uoav bo said to be inau expectant mood. People are waiting to make up their minds, ancl while some think the Chinese crisis is practically over, others suggest thafc ifc has just begun. "Meanwhile the Chinese minister here has unbosomed himself at some length, and exhibits a not unnatural indignation at the manner in which he he has openly been branded as a liar in a newspaper and by various highly respectable Chinese experts. He insists that the main trouble is due to the missionaries, and thafc there will be no peace in China as long as they are permitted to work among the native population. "Mr. Chamberlain's publication of the letters from Labouchere and others to Boer leaders is generally regarded as rather a good piece of electioneering, bufc I believe that it was nofc intended to publish the collection jusfc now, bufc to keep.it back till the eve of the general election when the bolt might have been shot with more effect. Mr, Labou- chere cleverly forced the hands by publishing his own letters himself. By the date of the elections the impression produced by these documents may have worn off. Tho letters from the Cape statesmen are an emphatic indictment of the Kruger regime while on the other hand the Liberals contend that these letters also prove clearly that there never was a general Afrikander conspiracy against Great Britain. Lord Roberts' last proclamation, declining .to .recognize the.neutrality of. non-combatanfc burghers, is generally, approved, though there is an inclination to complain that ifc is not sufficiently drastic. Thus Punch has published a cartoon in whjeh lord Roberts is upbraided for hisS^'Xcossive generosity, and a Conservative newspaper has been openly recommending that he should adopt Weyler's Cuban policy and carry it out thoroughly. Ifc is true that this suggestion is made in only the Sfc. James Gazette, a journal which has lost the' high reputation it once enjoyed and is now edited in a very irresponsible fashion. "Similarly, the death penalty visited upon the wretched young German lieutenant, Cordua, has been received with shouts of satisfaction, and .there was hardly a hint any where thafc clemency should have been extended to the rash young man. Undoubtedly Cordua, in breakingTijaparole.and conspii__ ing against the British authorities, rendered himself liable to the severest punishment under martial law, bufc ifc is also true that his plot against lord Roberts was really originated by the Spanish police officer Garo, by whom the whole idea was suggested to Cordua. Ifc is urged, however, that au example was really necessary to teach the Boers not to engage in secret conspiracies and violate their oaths. " I fancy the impatienco against the Boers is rafcher moro pronounced with the classes than with the masses. The prolongation of the war has interfered with business, caused stagnation in' finance aud clouded the whole political future with uncertainty. The prevailing doubt about the general election is highly inconvenient to members of parliament, candidates and supporters of the two great parties generally. With the populace, however, mingled with animosity against the Boers there seems to foe rising a certain good-humored fo'erance and even admiration for these tenacious foes. Dewet has strongly appealed to the sporting instincts of the British nation, and headings like this: 'Transvaal JEfandicap; Dewet Still Leading,' __re not uncommon in the cheap newspapers which appeal to workingmen. "Dewet's progress eastward now seems effectually checked by Baden- Pow;ell, who has got across the line separating him from Lydenburg and Barberton districts, and the great guerrilla leader has fallen back, and is now making for the Orange Free State again, probably intending to attack Roberts J columns. According to the commander-in-chief, Dewet has only 300 men with him, but this may be underestimated. ������j "Meanwhile, and quite without reference to Dewet, the Boers are in considerable force in the Transvaal. Boor officials have been re-established in Zoernst. Litchenberg, Pofc- schefstroom, Klerksdorp and Rust- enburg, so that practically the Euglish have abandoned the occupation of the country from Mafeking almost to the outskirts of Johannesburg." ENTERPRISE REPORT ISSUED Regular Shipments Promised. The report of the directors of the New Zealand Minerals Company has been issued in London. This company is interested with the London & British Columbia Gold- fields iu several British Columbia properties, notably the Whitewater aud Enterprise. In referring to their British Columbia interests, the directors report progress as follows: The Whitewater Mine.���The miners' strike whicli took place in British Columbia continued from Juno 1st, 1S99, until well on into this year, during which time the ore could nofc be worked, aud the miue had eventually to be shut down. Prior to the strike, it was found that the work being done by the concentrating mill was so unsatisfactory that very large values were lost, and passed away in the tailings, rendering alterations to the mill equipment advisable. The principal part of these alterations was carried out during the strike period, which, with an improved method of mining recently adopted, will, it is expected, give a much more favorable result than has hitherto been achieved. Work at the mine was resumed as soon after the termination of the strike as possible, but owing to the difficulty of procuring suitable miners', it was not until -May that the mill was able to be in.,full -work, and even then'such was: only- practicable by putting "through low grade ore from the' dumps, which, moreover, did not give a satisfactory concentration. Owing to the strike, already referred to, it became quite impossible either to equip or start work upon the Enterprise (British Columbia) mines until March last. During the strike period, however, advantage was taken of the opportunity to ship to'the smelters the ore left in the bins by the former owners, upon wliich a net profit of about ��8,000 was realized. The result was. satisfactory in proving this ore to bo richer than anticipated. At the termination of the strike, work afc the mine was commenced, consisting of "geueral equipment and the usual preliminary works necessary for carrying out large and systematic shipments in the most econoni- _ical_manner.���^Shipments���of���an- experiental nature have already been made, aud it is expected that important and regular shipments will follow in the course of a few weeks, from which date good returns are anticipated. The directors are unable to recommend the payment of a dividend, but��at the same time they think that the shareholders, after careful perusal of the reports and accounts, will agree with them in believing thafc the company's intrinsic position is better than at any time in its history. KWANG HSU NOT CAPTURED Case Of Mistaken Identity. London, August 27, 4 a. m.���The latest news from Pekin indicates that the situation is unchanged. The imperial city is still invested, but has nofc yefc been occupied. The allies, when the last message left, were still refraining from aggressive action pending instructions from their governments. An attack from 30,000 Boxers was anticipated and to meet this the whole American and British forces will, according to a dispatch to the Morning Post from Pekin dated August 18th, be moved to the outer city wall. The Boxers were reported as coming from the south. General Dorward, in his report of the engagement outside Tien-Tsin on August 19th, when the Americans, British and Japanese signally defeated a large force of Boxers, killing over 300, says in a dispatch dated August 25th: "The lines of communication near Tien-Tsin are now free from danger. The enemy had been treating the villagers badly. Several decapitated bodies were found near their camp. The villagers are now flocking to Tien- Tsin at the rate of about a thousand a day. ��� As there is nofc more than a month's food supply, there is every prospect; of a famine shortly. This declaration that a famine is imminent, in consequence of the inadequacy of the provisions for the hordes of refugees at Tien-Tsin, adds a new element of peril to the situation." Shang-Hai advices say that the report of the capture of emperor Kwang Hsu by the Japanese was erroneous. It was a case of mistaken identity. The Pekin correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, wiring August 19 th, reasserts that "the empress dowager fled westward, and adds : "She has also a guard of 15,000. The mountainous character of the country would prevent artillery firing, and it is believed that she will not be pursued." The correspondent reports ..everything quiet on the date of his dispatch, but a telegram to. the same paper from Tien-Tsin, dated August * 24th, asserts that 1000 Russians, Germans and Japs had pushed forward from" Pekin with ��� the intention, ifc is assumed, of pursuing the empress. At a conference of, the ministers and generals, held at Taku Friday, ifc was decided, according to the Daily Telegraph, to refer the fate of the forbidden city to Europe. A Tien-Tsin dispatch to Berlin, dated August 23rd, says : "The Japanese troops are in possession of the wall around the innermost part of the forbidden city, but have not made their way to the imperial palace owing to the lack of government instruction." RACE RIOTS IN NEW YORK Negro Shot A White Man. New York,' August 26.���A number of incipient race riots between blacks and whites broke out here today, the cause being the shooting on Saturday night of John Bren- nen, a messenger boy aged 20, by John Davis, alias Lamplighter, a negro. Brennan was one of a crowd of whites who taunted Davis, and bullets from the black's revolver lodged in his stomach and chest. He is in hospital and likely to die. The shooting was done at 62nd street, and becoming noised about, the rough white element began to search out negroes. Before daylight this morning James Arnold, colored, while passing 64th street and Amsterdam avenue, was attacked by a crowd of whites and shockingly beaten. "Tie was treated at a hospital. Shortly afterwards, about two^^cksawaj^^he^gang, doIeli==eut7a_similar_ experience to Alexander Balentine, colored, who was passing quietly along. In neither cases were arrests made. At 9:30 o'clock this morning, a crowd of whites, confessedly led by Frank MePyke, 21 years old, went to a five-story tenement on 60th street occupied by negroes with the avowed purpose of cleaning it out. The had about demolished all the windows, and incidentally cracked a head or two, when the police swooped down on the gang. MePyke and another man were arrested. At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon Joseph Doyle, 18 years old, filled his hat wifcii stones and took his stand afc 59th street and 11th avenue. He succeeded in inflicting scalp wounds on two colored men before a policeman clubbed and arrested him. Officer John J. Clearey placed William Hopson, a colored man, under arrest for "being sassy." He rashly undertook to take his prisoner to the station though West Sixtieth street. That street between the west end and Amsterdam avenue is called "Cuckoo Row," and here colored people live by the hundreds. The fact that one of their race was in the hands of a policeman was enough for them, and as a result a half dozen of them thought they would release Hopson. Clearey used his club and then drew his revolver. By threatening the first man he held the mob at bay until other policemen came to his aid. They arrested George Meyer, also colored. Clearey said he started the attempted reficue. Meyer resisted arrest all the way to the station. Other arrests were made. AMERICAN RIGHTS IN CHINA Will Not Be Sacrificed. Washington, August 26.���Russia, Germany and Japan have not declared war upon China either separately or in concert. This statement is made upon authority of the highest, character. What those nations may do within the next forty-eight hours or withiu the next fortnight is a question which lio one in Washington is prepared to answer. A brief dispatch from Che-Foo, conveying a rumor current there 3 thafc Russia,., Germany and Japan had joined in a declaration of war upon China, aroused some interested comment among Washington officials and' among diplomatic representatives of foreign governments resident - here. In neither official nor diplomatic circles, however, was the rumor taken' seriously. No information of such action has reached either the department of state or the legations of the governments primarily interested. That fact alone is accepted in official circles as a sufficient refutation of the rumor. > Officials of- the state, war and navy departments were at their desks today, bnt-up to the hour of closing for the day not^a word had been heard from minister Conger, general Chaffeeor admiral Remey. Since the dispatch from consul Fowler was received late last night the department of state has received no advices from any sources iri China except a brief cablegram from minister. Conger, inquiring bow he should route his messages. The text of the dispatch which, it was explained/was A*ery brief and purely administrative in character, w;as not made public. The war department has received no dispatch from general' Chaffee known to have come directly from him for about a week.' Cablegrams signed "Chaffee" have been received, but as they .contained .only lists of casualties'.jit is; assumed they were sent by some subordinate officer in general Chaffee's name. From no official source has the department learned of-the departure of forty Americans from Pekin for Tien-Tsin,* as reported in a special dispatch to a1 Loudon newspaper under date" of August 19fch. Advices from General Chaffee are expected hourly, as the military line between Tien-Tsin and Pekin, which has been interrupted, presumably is being, or has been repaired.- Imperative instructions were sent yesterday to the commander of the United States forces at Tien-Tsin to have the lined restored at once, under the protection of a cavalry detachment. A suspicion exists here that the delay in messages both'from and to Washington occurs between Che-Foo and Shang-Hai, rather than, Tien-Tsin. =FwmujQheiFocuitoJ==ShangrHai==the telegraph line is in control, of fche Chinese authorities- and it is expected that they are not so prompt in transmission of messages as they might be. Late in the day a dispatch was received at the Japanese legation from the foreign office of Japan, conveying the latest and most authentic information of the situation in and around Pekin. In a measure the advices were of a disquieting nature, as they indicated that the Chinese had rallied their forces and were preparing for an attack upon the allies in Pekin. This would account for tho lack of advice from general Chaffee. As made public by minister Takahira, the dispatcli from the Japanese foreign office at Tokio is as follows; " An official telegram, dated Pekin, August 18th, was received at Tokio from general Yainaguchi, commander of the Japanese forces, to the following effect: 'The capital is now cleared of the enemy. A cavalry regiment which had been sent to Wan Shau (where the empress dowager's palace is located) reports that the imperial family, who had left Pekin on August 14th, stopped for a short rest at Wan Sbau Shan and left for the west under escort of general Ma and his troops, consisting of aboufc 500 horsemen and twenty carts. The Japanese forces occupied the treasury in the afternoon, in which over 2,000,000 taels in silver and a large quantity of rice were found.'" Another dispatch, dated. Taku, August 23rd, states that as the Chinese troops and Boxers who had gathered at Nan Yuen were about to attack the foreign forces at Pekin, Japanese and Russian cav alry were expected to encounter them on the 20th. The dispatch further states that Chinese infantry, some 9000 strong wifch fifteen guns, are advancing northward from Shan Tung to rmake a rear attack on the allies. A copy of the dispatch was transmitted to acting sefcretary Adee at the state department, and by him was furnished to the president. While the news of a rear attack upon the comparatively small forces of the allies was not received with surprise, it generally was regarded as serious, as the foreign forces-are believed to bo abundantly able to take care of themselves against any force of Chinese likely to be sent against them. - In the absence of official information from China or from United States officers iuterest today centered in the diplomatic phases of the existing trouble. The rumor of a declaration of war by Russia, ifc is explained, may have grown out of the operations of the troops of the czar, in protecting the southern frontier of his empire, or it may have arisen from the reported statement of the commander of the Russian forces at Pekin, that his government was at war with China and therefore he must pro; hibit communication with Chinese! Neither the operations of Russia on the frontier nor the prohibition by a Russian general of communication with the Chinese would constitute, it is' said, a" declaration of war. Even his statement that his government had declared war would not make it so.' A declaration of war, it is pointed out by the best authorities, is a perfectly distinct and obvious proceeding. The understanding among .Washington officials of Russia's action is that the empire has declared the three provinces on its southeastern frontier in a state of siege. This is altogether different from a declaration of war. It corresponds to a declaration of martial law by Great Britain and to a sus- -pension of the right of habeas corpus by the United States. It is pointed out that Russia has two objects in her present operations in China, the rescue and protection of the foreign legationers and the protection of her frontier. The avowed object of the other powers is simply the rescue and protection of the legationers aud other foreign subjects. In carrying out her second object, Russia has seized New-Chwang. This was done to obtain a base of operations, from which the- frontier could easily be reached. Whether in the event of a declaration of war by one or more of the powers against China, an invitation would be extended to the United States to retire from China, as intimated in a dispatch from Che- Foo, is open to doubt and it is decidedly problematical, it is said, whether the invitation would be accepted even if it were tendered. The United States forces are in China protecting the personal and property^rights-of^the^citizens^of this country, and in addition the treaty rights of. the United States. Under the most favored nation clause this country has certain rights in Cliina, and it is said on authority to be the purpose of the United States to protect and preserve these rights. Iu any event, it can be said to be no parfc of the purpose of the United States to sacrifice any of its rights or privileges in the'.'Chinese empire. WARREN TALKS OF SPION KOP Boberts Beady For Advance. Nkw York, August 26.���Tho Tribune's 1 a. m. London cable on the South African situation is as follows: "Lord Roberts has leffc Pretoria for the first time in several weeks and sends a dispatch from Wonderfontein, 112 miles east of the capital describing the progress made by French and Pole-Carew in pressing back Botha's army. The good impression produced by this information yesterday was somewhat damped by a later message from the commander-in-chief, stating another little mishap had occurred to a part of general Buller's force, engaged with another of Botha's commandoes on Thursday. By some mistake, two companies of a British infantry regiment advanced far beyond tho firing line after an engagement was supposed to haveceased.and were surrounded by the Boers- losing nearly 100 men killed, wounded aud prisoners. " Dewet, however, is said to be retiring across tho mountain passes to the Orange river colony in a very crippled condition, and with only a few followers. " Sir Charles Warren has just arrived in London from South Africa and is in a communicative mood. The gallant general is by no means inclined to sit down quietly under the criticisms passed upon him, and opened his campaign by speaking freely about Spion Kop, on which he has already addressed a long and detailed explanation to the war office. He does not admit any responsibility for the occupation of that position, which, he said, he did not approve, but on the contrary suggested to . general Buller an alternative plan, which was the one eventually adopted by Buller. At the same time, general Warren says, when ordered to take Spion Kop he did so, and the troops could have maintained themselves there till the Boers" had abandoned the attack had not colonel Thorueycrof b unaccountably given the order to retire during the night. For this movement general Warren says that he was himself in no way to blame. It is evident there is likely to be a rather sharp controversy on this, as well as on several' other points between . some of the rival generals and their supporters when the campaign is finished, or possibly before." Cape Town, August 26.���Lord Roberts arrived yesterday" at Belfast, a few miles west of Machadodorp, where he met sir Redvers Buller, " general Pole-Carew and general,French. Everything is now ready for the advance. NELSON'S CHEMICAL ENCINE Will Be Tested Tonight. The Nelson fire department is now in possession of the modern combination hose and chemical wagon ~ ordered . for the brigade. It arrived on Saturday, and is now in place at the fire hall. It is a handsome piece of- workmanship, is up ."to specifications in,every.respect, and was delivered:.by: the* makers, the Fire Extinguisher company of Chicago, several days within contract time. The new apparatus is built on the lines of a hose wagon, the body being only about half - as long as the outfit formerly used by the department. The wheels are red with gilt trimmings, the box of perforated steel, finished in royal blue, and the railings are of polished brass, making a very attractive turnout. The wagon weighs stripped 2700 pounds, which is 100 pounds less than specified, and with 1000 feet of hose, 60 gallons of chemicals, and 10 firemen, the aggregate weight will be close to two tons. This fact will probably necessitate the purchase by the city of a new team of horses. The present pair are too light by several hundred pounds for thejyork.. J_i ThleWatteFof a new team has already been considered by the city council. The striking feature of the new wagon is the chemical section, whicli includes a copper cyclinder beneath the driver's seat and a reel just behind the seat containing 200 feet of one inch hose, with a small nozzle. The cylinder is charged with 00 gallons of bicarbonate of soda, a simple compound of water and soda, and a small receptacle containing a couple of gallons of sulphuric acid. By turning over thu cylinder a plug drops from the small drum containing the acid aud the combination formed is the best fire extinguisher known to science. The energy for discharging the fluid is contained in the elements themselves. A chemical engine is of great service in the early stages of a fire where the blaze can very frequently be put out without the damage which necessarilyc follows the use of water under heavy pressure such as ia obtained in Nelson. The thousand feet of hose carried'on the apparatus will enable the brigade to use more effectual means where the chemicals fail to have the desired effect. The old hose and ladder wagon will be reconverted by chief Thompson into a hand ladder wagon by removing the pole, trees, seat and hose box. Several ladders will be moved to the new wagon, and the old apparatus will be utilized in emergencies. The new wagon will be tested this evening between 6 aud 7 o'clock in front of the hall. Chief Thompson is arranging to have a pile of tar and oil barrels lighted for the purpose of determining the effectiveness of the chemicals. DEFINITE NEWS IS AWAITED With Growing Anxiety. 7 New Yohk, August 26.���A LonV-S; don cable special to this morning's V7 Tribune, filed at 6 a. m., has the ���>_[.' following on the Chinese situation':?; .Word has been received from .^ Shang-Hai to the effect that Japan-";, ese troops have overtaken the em-;;, press dowager and the Chinese ini- t-^f perial court eighty miles to ihe 7 southwest of Pekin.

Ifc ^ would certainly surprise many of those aquainted with Muscovite methods, if Russia consented to', retire, leaving Manchuria intact, especially as in the course of the next few months she expects to have nearly 400,000 men iu Eastern Asia. Reports of, fighting beyond Tien- -**o-| Tsin may help to account for the silence ��f Pekin, though it does not alleviate the anxiety, with which more definite news is awaited. The telegraph wires are still cut aud the railway is only working a little way beyond Pei Tsang. The engagement reported yesterday, in which a large force of Chinese was Jisp^i^edJbyiAmerican^Brifcishiand^-- Japanese, may or may not have opened the road. At any rate the transports with reinforcements are now rapidly arriving at Taku and troops are being pushed to the front as fasfc as they can be landed. International compliments continue to be freely exchanged by.the various commanders. General Gas- elee's last dispatch contained a tribute to the Japanese. Admiral Seymour has written a letter to admiral Courrejolles, in which he speaks in the highest terms of the conduct of the French contingent which took part in the naval expeditionary advance, and especially of their gallantry in seizing the Tien-Tsin arsenal, and now Englishmen are particularly gratified at captain McCall's very handsome testimonial to the .courage and ability displayed by Seymour himself. The mutual respect and esteem which the troops of the various civilized nations are beginning to entertain for one another is one of the most agreeable results of the Chinese operations."

IF YOU WANT Pure Groceries at Honest Prices TRY THE g&he f&vibxxm+ j In the supplementary estimates : which were put through the legislature on Thursday night a vote of ! $3^500 was passed to defray the expenses of a mining and water commission. The circumstance that but little opposition was encountered may be accepted as evidence that assurances were renewed from the government that the eight- * hour law is not to be included in commissions held for investigation. The member for Nelson objected to the vote, but even his objections were along the line that the vote was simply a waste of money. TtTe ventured the prediction that a similar amount, spent in an assay offlce at Victoria for the purchase of the gold of returning miners from the jNorth, would accomplish much more ^ood. The government now has its TnE gold output from the properties around Nelson is beginning to climb np to respectable proportions. The Ymir mine easily holds first place, dropping seventy stamps for the month of July. During this period 4650 tons of ore were crushed, yielding a gross estimated value of $239,500,of which sum the officers of the company say about $25,000 will represent the company's profit upon the month's operations. The Athabasca company comes second with a crushing of 400 tons, and a cleanup of $17,100; and the Granite third, with a crushing of 104.0 tons, and a gross return of $9550. All three of these properties are yet in their grst stages of development, yet their aggregate monthly output already amounts to the very considerable total of $66,000, and at the present rate of progress it will not be long before their annual output will reach the million mark. Sir Charles Tupper's talk about preferential trade with Great Britain has not taken much root in the Dominion.

The returns of the Triune's maiden shipment of ore to the Trail smelter has been given to the Eagle. There were 380 sacks of ore;1 the gross weight of which was 42,180 pounds, the net weight 39,695 pounds, or 405 pounds less than 20 tons. The ore sized up in these proportions: Gold, $237.58 ; silver... $4,9S5.95; lead, $589.90. Total gross value, $5,813.45,' or, figuring on a 20-ton basis, $290.07 to the ton. Transportation aud smelter charges amounted to $436.65, leaving the net proceeds $5,376.84, or on a 20- ton basis, $20S.S4 to the ton. It costs $10 a ton to pack it to Ten- Mile, $15 to haul it to the Lauding and $22 a ton for freight, transportation and smelter charges to the C. P. R. The shipment was accompanied by A.

It is safe to say that every ton of Triune ore shipped this season will net at least $275.00 a ton, after paying $47 a ton for freight and treatment. The Triune, it must be remembered, is only about ten Sveek's old, and the lessees have over 200 tons blocked out after having driven less than 125 feet of tunnel. _ &&&&&&_&&&^&&&_i:&&i_U&&_��&G_:__US^& Aci^.^'^'^^'^'^'^'^'^'t^'^'^'^'^'^ ���^^^���*?-.t?,*��v*v'^'.'?- Uf to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to ffl ffl w, ���i-i-**: ^���^���^���_*>-^-4��-a'a,-a'-^,^,^>,^'>>,^'^'^-'^B',-s-*^>,-s��*�����*^'-Sfe*>��- l 0'0i9^9:9:9^9:9-0i9^9:9^9;9;9i9^9i9i9i9^9^9^9r9:^Di IRVINE CO.

This represents the penalty which the province pays for its failure to provide adequate means for the arbitration of labor disputes, and it is a penalty which may be imposed every year until legislative measures are taken to avoid it. Mr. Houston has succeeded in effecting a settlement of the dispute between the city and the provincial government as to the payment Cameras At the Rifle Ranges. Three members of the rifle association went to the ranges on Saturday morning and had splendid shooting, the light and wind being much better than the average. H. Bird put on 06 points out of the possible 105, thus making the-highest score of the season. D. Lewis made 90 and A Carrie 85. A high, wind prevailed during the afternoon, which had the effect of cutting down the scores considerably. The following is the result of the afternoon shoot: F. R. Stewart, 78,' S. P. Shaw 74, W. E.

Vyt is a remarkable thing about rckin that, in a city laid out on an Jnormous plan, with large avenues, jigh walls, beautified by pretty pa- [odas, elegant temples, large yameris >ntaining the imperial palaces aud jicred grounds, so little is done Ipward the comfort of pedestrians Tud of people riding on mules, Jiorses, camels or vehicles. The R'joroughfares are never repaired! lo that the streets are Hooded soon titer it begins to rain. You can- lot walk in the streets at such flines. The only means of travel Ihen is the peculiar spriugless Pe- ljin cart, by which one gets full of laud and filbh. The mule placed lief ore the cart has to wade through lhe morass and the wheels sink Keep into the mud. With the exception of open canals, traversing [jities, the Chinese do not drain ifheir streets. The laws and customs allow a ihinaman to have as many wives \. he can support, but only the first J/ife is regarded as the legitimate fiother of the household. She is le ruler of all the children, who idll mourn for her a hundred days. H^he husband, who can remarry as ��ffcen as he likes, does not show any lign of mourning for his wife to- ihe outer world, but a woman who marries again after her husband's Iceath is not considered respectable. Should she, on the other hand, corn- |uit suicide on her husband's grave, |hen a pailau, which is an ornamental gateway or arch, will be greeted as a sign of transcendent loyalty and virtue. But the great J Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. majority of Chinese do not adhere to polygamy. They have a proverb which says that where one woman reigns there is peace; two women -under the same roof signifies a. fight, and three women means intrigue and disorder. A most pjcuJLakJjhing^about^the^ Chinese is that thay do not know the value of time. We have had some convincing proof of this in the last few weeks. ��� The Chinese were, in no hurry to let us know that the diplomats and foreign residents of Pekin were alive. The manner in which the Chinese ignore time may also be noticed in another way. If a Chinaman announces his visit for official or other business, you may be sure that he will arrive from an hour to half a day later, sometimes even on the next day, without deeming it necessary to apologize for the delay. When the caller finally does arrive, there is generally a long exchange of polite phrases and words. Afterward, you drink tea and smoke pipes. During all this time you talk of politics and the weather, and possibly, just be- fore-the caller intends to leave, he will casually bring up the purpose of his visit.- A curious sight is to see wealthy Chinamen traveling on board of a coast or ocean steamer. They all retire to their cabins to. remain there during the voyage. Here they will eat, drink, amuse themselves and smoke opium, with the pungent odor of which the neighboring cabins are soon unpleasantly filled. On a voyage from Ningpo to Shang- Hai I once visited a Chinese steerage; there were over 700 men and women crouched on the floor, smok-- ing their peculiar water and opium pipes, the smoke of which filled the whole ship. It is always a great curiosity for a stranger to enter one of the public places, mostly Chinese tea-houses, where a kind of sofa arrangement for opium smokers may be found.

RICHELIEU TO SHIP STEADILY When Road is Completed. Henry Roy, manager of the London Consolidated and Richelieu mines, on Coffee creek, was in the city yesterday. He leaves this morning foi- the properties with David McBeath, who is taking' an outfit and gang of men up to commence work on the wagon road. The road extends from the mouth of the creek to a point nine and a half miles up, where a tramway from the mine will end. It is the intention of the company to ship steadily after the road is completed. The Richelieu property has been worked constantly for a little over three years and development has reached an advanced stage. Mr. Roy states that the company could work 500 men for a.couple of years more without exhausting the ore already blocked out. In'the course of development a large amount of ore has been taken out and is now on the dump ready to be shipped when the road is completed. The veins on the properties are not wide, but the values ai*e unusually high. The contract for the building of the road calls for its completion by October 15th, and to accomplish this it is probable that 150 men will be employed. The company had intended to build the road several months earlier but were delayed by waiting for the government subsidy. Had the road gone through earlier a concentrator would have been erected at the property, but this has been necessarily delayed until next year. By tramming the ore from the mine to the road instead of running the road through to the mine, the company's teams will be able to make a round trip daily. From 50 to 100 tons of ore will be shipped daily from the properties, and the staff will be increased to insure a steady supply. W. REINHARD, M. D. General Practice. SPECIALTY: Eye, Ear and Nose.

The Nelson Intermediate ball team defeated the Rossland Stars in a, closely contested game yesterday afternoon, the score being 9 to 7. A couple of hundred spectators witnessed the match and were delighted with the quality of baseball provided almost throughout the game. In two innings the play was loose and practically all the scoring was done in these innings. Eliminating this feature the game was as good an exhibition as has been seen on a Nelson diamond. The home team played snappy ball, and with 7a couple of exceptions fielded and threw splendidly! Chambers -was strong in the box and kept a level head at critical points. The outfield had: but little work. Nelson was stronger at every point, and . although the advantage, was islight the game was decided on the merits of the teams. Most of the Nelson Intermediates promise to become clever players and will be eligible for the senior team in a few seasons. The Rossland team were heavier than the home playersand played good ball, but manifested a disposition to lose their heads. "Thescore was: NELSON INTEKM KDIATE3. Alt. It. II. SH. TO. A. K.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-08-27 |
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. |
