NELSON: SATURDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 15 J900 PRICE FIVE CENTS EXODUS FROM GALVESTON AU Anxious to' Get Away. Galveston, September 14.���The first real attempt to clear away tho great mass of debris piled along the beach front for a distance of soveral miles was begun today. Advertisements were printed in tlio News, which appeared this morning, asking for hundreds of men and boys to do this work. A multitude responded. They were formed into squads and promptly put to work with police and deputy sheriffs in charge. It is hoped that a vigorous prosecution of the work will lead to the early recovery of bodies still in the debris. That there are many there is no shadow of doubt. An Asso- ciited Press representative traversed the beach for some distance, nnd the stench at different points was absolutely sickening. Everywhere little groups of men, women aud children, some of them poorly provided with rainment, were digging iu the ruins of their homes for what little household property they could save. In many cases those seeking their former residences were utterly unable to find a single remnant of them, so hopeless is the confusion of timbers and household furniture. The exodus from the city was heavy today, and hundreds more who were eager to leave were unable to secure transportation. Moro hopeful reports were received today touching the water supply. Chairman McMasters of the chamber of commerce has charge of the water relief work. The company was serving some of its customers today. The water continues to run by gravity pressure. Assurances have been received by the l-ailroads that they will do all in their power to reopen communication and their ��� present plan seems to concentrate,all forces on the work of reconstruction of one bridge. Crews are coming down the Santa Fe railroad from Arkansas and Sb. Louis with full equipments to restore the line. KRUGER IS NOW LOCKED UP No One Can See Hiin. ^'-London, September 15.���Accord- i.p_; to the Lorenzo Marquez correspondent of the Daily-Telegraph, Mr. Kruger is virtually a prisoner in the residence of the district governor. This is at the instance of the British consul, who protested against Mr. Kruger using Portuguese territory as a base for directing his executive. The French consul has been forbidden access to Mr. Kruger,as have also the latter's own officials. The district governor has notified Herr Pott, the Netherlands consul, that he (Potts), who acted as the Boer consul_ar_agent_at_Lor__ enzo Marquez, cannot be longer recognized as a representative of the Transvaal, which is now British territory. , "I have had au interview with the American attache, who is homeward bound," says the correspondent, "and he is of the opinion that hostilities may drag on for .a considerable time, as the Boers in their despair, threaten to fight to the death. Acting president Scalk- berger arrived here today (Friday), to confer with Mr. Kruger, but he was not permitted to see him and he returned immediately to the Transvaal." ��� Trio of Murderers Lynched. St. Louis, September 14.���A special to the Post Dispatch from Memphis, Tennessee, says a masked mob of between sixty and one hundred men broke into the jail at Tunica, Mississippi, early today and took out three negroes, whom they strung'up to a tree within 100 yards of the jail. Not a shot was fired. The dead negroes are Frank Brown, who shot Frank Cheshire, a prosperous planter at Oak Landing; David Moore, who shot Dan Bosell ten days ago, and William Brown, who with confederates shot young Whiteman at the state levee last month. ' Troubles With Cotton Operatives. Manchester, September 14.���The general opinion is that the spinners will stop universally during the first fortnight in October.' Some producers are having recourse to Egyptian and Peruvian cotton to complete their contracts. Mr. Maw- desley, leader of the operatives' union, is still disinclined to take a gloomy view of the situation. He thinks that the demand for cotton goods throughout the world is good and that the crisis has reached its height. In his opinion with the arrival of the new crop the trouble will diminish and bo over before winter sets in. Ho declares that the federation proposal of stoppage could not be adhered to on an organized scale. BIG CONSOLIDATION SCHEME Miner's Interesting Prediction. Montreal, September 14.���S. SS. C. Miner, president of tiie Miner- Graves syndicate of mining and smelting properties, has arrived home from the west and made some highly important announcements. Within tbe next six months the Knob Hill, Old Ironsides, the Grey Eagle and the Granby Consolidated will be consolidated into one company, with a capital of fifteen or twenty million dollars. The next is that following this consolidation, steps wiil be taken to build a refinery at or near Grand Forks, which will save at least 4�� cents in every pound of copper smelted. The capital required will be about $1,000,000, and it will probably start within 18 months. Mr. Minor says that although their.; furnace, which was started the'othcr day,, was only calculated to smelt 25 tons a day, the capacity is now 200 tons, and when the second furnace starts next week the daily capacity of 'the Granby will be not less than 600 tons. Four additional furnaces-will be erected very soon,' for the proposed consolidation will easily supply 2000 tons of ore daily. . "What is the value of the ore you are now treating?" Mr. Miner was asked. ."I am not at liberty to answer that question, being in the position of a business man who does not care to publish his daily profits to the world. _ I may say, .however,, that when ore.reports are published they will be found eminently satisfactory to our shareholders. We are not sorting the ore, and there is a good profit out of ever ton that is going through the smelter. I will go further and say that we have been successful in .demonstrating the fact that ore as low as $5 can be treated at a profit." ANOTHER LE ROI AGGIOENT Four Miners Injured. Rossland, September 14.���A serious accident at the Le Roi mine, just before midnight last night, resulted in the injury of four men, Larry McEIvey, Charles Hensley, Owen Bigland and Mike Sefik, who were at work in the sinking of the big shaft, about 60 feet below the _800-foot_le_vel The_skip-fell-from- the 300-foot level, and its weight of several tons gathered terrific momentum in the descent. , It tore away all obstructions till it reached the machine bar at the bottom of the shaft. The four men were imprisoned beneath it, but were promptly released. Sefik's wounds were slight. Bigland got an ugly scalp wound. Hensley had his collarbone broken, and some of his fingers were so badly crushed that they had to be amputated. MeElvy had a leg broken and may have suffered internal injuries. His condition is critical. Benefit for Battered Cyclists. New Haven, Connecticut, September 14.���The bicycle races at the Colliseum board track tonight, which were given for the benefit of Charles Miller, the six day champion, and Archie 3IcEachran, the champion of Canada, who were injured in the smashup Tuesday night, were a success financially. There were two motor paced races, one championship and one amateur. The former was won by McEachren in 9 3-10 minutes, and the amateur was won by Frank Cad well of Hartford in 9 minutes 28 2-5 seconds. The Nuns Were Saved. New York, September 14.���Rev. J. F. McCarthy of Newark, N. J., assistant pastor of St. Patrick's Cathedral, today received a special dispatch from Galveston to the effect that all of the 24 Newark nuns, at the Catholic convent of the Sacred Heart, at that place had been saved. MEN WHO MADE SACRIFICES To Serve Their Country. Ottawa, September 14.���Private H. Cowan of the first Canadian contingent, recently invalided to England, is lieutenant Harry J. Cowan of B. Squadron, Manitoba Dragoons, Portage la Prairie. He was through the Paardeberg fight and tho march to Bloemfontein, where he was taken ill with enteric fever and had a close call. He is a son of Dr. James Cowan of Portage la Prairie, one of the wealthiest men iu Manitoba and the Northwest. Captain P. Whimster and lieutenant Cowan of B. squadron, Manitoba Dragoons, resigned their commissions to go with the first Canadian contingent. Captain (now sergeant) Whimster was taken ill before Paardeberg, but managed to struggle to the finish of Cronje, when he had a bad relapse and has had a hard fight to pull through. Both Whimster and Cowan are first-class shots and fine officers. It was largely due to their work that B Squadron' of the Manitoba Dragoons received the highest' marks of any cavalry squadron in Canada for general efficiency in the camp of 1897: Sergeant Brothers of Strathcona's Horse, who was wounded on Tuesday, was a very successful miner. He went into the Yukon with the Northwest Mounted Police, and after obtaining his, discharge took up raining. When the call for the Strathconas came he sold a claim reputed to be worth $30,000 for $12,000, and, taking" with him a young law student in Dawson, now an officer in- the Strathconas, they made a rapid trip-out over the ice to Bennett and thence to Vancouver and Ottawa.. He has a fine record in the Mounted Police. GENERAL WHEELER RETIRES Served in Three Wars. Chicago, September 14.���The official life of a gallant old warrior, the hero of three wars and a fighter who fought as gallantly for the United States during the Spanish- American war as he did for the Southern Confederacy in the '00s, expires this week, when, by reason of the fact that he has reached the sixty-fourth . anniversary of his birth, brigadier-general Joseph Whealler, who for several months has been in command of the department of the Lakes with headquarters in Chicago, will be retired from active service. "It is a grand record which "Fighting Joe," as his soldiers loved to call him, leaves in the war annals of America. At" the outbreak of the civil war he threw himself heart and soul into the cause of his native~Soutli"and_at~the conclusion" of hostilities he emerged from the smoke and din of battle one of the most conspicuous figures of the Confederacy. Laying aside his sword he joined with equal enthusiasm in reconstructing the South and repairing the waste of war. For a number of years he represented his home state of Alabama iu the national congress, and only resigned to take up the cause of his country at the outbreak of hostilities with Spain. By his dash and indefatigable energy he made a new record for himself during the brief Cuban campaign and later saw a year's service in the Philippines. Six months ago general Wheeler was appointed to fill a vacancy in the list of brigadier generals caused by the promotion of brigadier general Otis to the vacancy in the list of major-generals, caused by the statutory retirement of major- general Merritt. General Wheeler enjoyed the distinction and honor of being the first American army officer to receive such high commission after reaching the voluntary retiring age. NELSON LOCAL NEWS. The rifle association will practice at the ranges this afternoon. Members may obtain rifles at the armory this morning. The program for the annual shoot is issued and makes an inviting list of prizes. The last addition is the corporation match in which the prize of a $65 pair of binoculars with $59 in cash added, will be competed for. The proposed visit of the Nelson fire department's racing team to Corbett Denies the Charges. Queenstown, September 14.���A representatiAre of- the Associated Press, on board the Cunard line steamer Campania, today handed to James J. Corbett a number of dispatches relating to the charges made against him in New York. He read them and said: "It is ridiculous to say that my fights with Sharkey and McCoy were fakes." Corbett and Marguerite Cornell, the actress, were booked as Mr. and Mrs. Martin. Her mother was with her. Sp kane will probably be called off for various reasons. Among others the Spokane people did not send a list of the events for wliich Nelson was eligible and no practices were held. The time now is almost too short for the team to get in shape. BIC BATTLE IN PROCRESS French Engages the Boers. London, September 11. ��� Lord Roberts reports from Machadodorp, under date of Wednesday, September 12th, that general French was heavily engaged ,with the Boers in the hills west of Barberton and general Hutton had gone to general French's support. New York,- September 14.���A dispatch to the Tribune from London says : Tho flight of president Kruger .to Lorenzo Marquez may enable general Botha to open negotiations -with general Bailor and bring the war to an end. President Kruger, however, may return to Kumatipoort; or if he stays at Lorenzo Marquez Botha may continue the struggle,- dividing his forces into small .bauds. All conjectures based on Kruger's arrival in neutral territoiyare premature, since the door through which he is reported to have retired from the Transvaal remains open. If general French has occupied Barberton and the British columns, are advancing toward Kuraatipoort the door may be closed withirra.week and Botha released from all. obligation to keep his burghers in'.tlie field. The closing scenes of the protracted campaign "tend to illustrate the truth that; without a" neutral base the-Boers are helpless. If the British government had-allowed president Kl'uger to purchase Dela-' goa bay when he was anxious to do so he -vvould not how have," a place of refuge in the present emergency, nor would his presence there be a source of any. uncertainly respecting the possibility of. his return to the Transvaal. The purchase" of that neutral .Jhasej; ten years, ago would probably have prevented "the outbreak of war, since the Boers have depended from the outset upon having the .door open for their own gold to go out and for supplies to come in, and also upon having a bridge for retreat when they were in the last ditch. The news, however, is too indecisive to justify premature talk about a last ditch. Buller is press= ing on after Botha over the mountains, but has captured abandoned stores rather than commandoes in arms, and French is still a long way from Kumatipoort. . The official record of the opera- tions conducted by generals Methuen, Barton ^and Hildyard aud the generals in the Free State proves the territories occupied are swarming with guerillas and discontented Boers who are unwilling to abandon the struggle. This is -not-oneoi-the-worst"featnres"bf"the~ situation. Resentments caused by tho campaign and embittered opposition to British rule will have to be stamped out by strenuous and rigorous police work for a long period. Nothing New From China. Washington, D. C, September 14.���There was no developments in the Chinese negotiations today with which the public could bo made acquainted, Tho whole matter still being in tho diplomatic phase, and therefore not calling for military orders. The situation has lost something of the acuteness owing to the change in the attitude of the Russian government as indicated in yesterday's dispatches. It is stated that the control of the situation would simply pass from the state department into general Chaffee's hands, and it would be for him, after, conferring with the other military commanders; to determine when and how and to what extent the American forces shall be withdrawn. TALKINC Of PEACE NOW Li Hung Chang's Views. London, September 15. ��� "Li Hung Chang will bo taken on board a Russian warship at Wu Sung, and received by Russians at Taku," says the Shang-Hai correspondent of the Morning Post, "and he will be accompanied by the Chinese minister of railways." According to the Shang-Hai- correspondent of the Times, wiring Wednesday, earl Li ^considers that the preliminary difficulty of the negotiations consist in the necessity, which he realizes of denouncing prince Tuan and his accomplices to the throne. He is of the opinion that it would be advisable for the allies to take the initiative by compiling a. list of those held chiefly responsible, and by formulating their demands accordingly. Other Shang-Hai dispatches locate the empress dowager on September 8th at Hsing- .Chou, two days march from Tai Yuan Fu. The Times has advices from Pekin, dated September 1st, saying that 5000 Russians had arrived there during the previous three days. The Paris correspondent' of the Morning Post says:, ."France and Russia have agreed to demand the complete disarmament of China, including the razing of the Taku forts and the fortifications and arsenals elsewhere." - The Russian legation to Pekin, according to a Taku special dated Tuesday, was then preparing to move to Tien-Tsin or to some other point, owing to the difficulty of communicating with the home authorities. "' Hong Kong, September 14.��� Orders have been issued for the third brigade to proceed to Wei Hai Wei immediately. SPEAKERSHIP CANDIDATES For the Commons and Senate. - Ottaava. September. 1.4. ��� Two names are prominently "mentioned in connection with the speakership of the senate and the house of commons. For the commons, a French-Canadian will undoubtedly be selected. There is an unwritten law that this office shall be filled by a French-Canadian - and a member from the English-speaking provinces alternately.- For two parliaments in succession the speaker has been chosen from Ontario, so that the claims of the French-Canadians cannot be longer ignored. Always assuming that the Laurier government will be returned, the position of speaker of the commons will go either to Raymond Prefontaine, M. P., or to deputy speaker Brodeur, with the chances in favor of the -latter.���As deputy speaketvBrodeur acquitted himself creditably, and his qualifications for the office are undisputed. For the speakership of the seuate it seems to be pretty well settled that senator William Kerr, of Co- bourg, will be the choice. Senator Kerr is representative of that element of the Liberal party which complains that it has not its share in the government, and which there is every reason to placate. He is ossontially one of the old Liberals, a man whose political record is spotless, and whose appointment would be widely appreciated in the "party. Senator Kerr's great popularity, his calm judgment and name for strict fairness command him for the high office whicli he is likely to fill. NELSON'S MATTBESS FACTORY. * The building on Water street to be occupied by the Kootenay Wire Works Manufacturing Company is practically completed, and the firm will install their plant next week. The premises have a floor space of 4500 feet, and the company expect that business will necessitate an extension to the building next spring. The firm consists of Joseph W. Holmes, A. W. Nagle and J. H. Wilkinson. They have acquired the plant owned by the Trail mattress works, and this is being supplemented by an extensive shipment of machinery from Toronto, which will be to hand shortly. Machines will also be installed for turning out grill work and fancy woodwork. When the company com meuces operations next week em the staff being enlarged from time to time as necessity demands. The company will have every facility for placing a first-class product on the market. A special advantage is obtained over eastern manufacturers in connection with the supply of tbe excelsior used for stuffing mattresses. The best quality of excelsior is obtained from cottonwood, which is as plentiful about Nelson as it is scarce in most parts of Ontario and local manufacturers profit thereby. A. M. ESLER DIES SUDDENLY Was Well Known Here. Word was received in Nelson yesterday of the death of A. M. Esler of Helena. The death occurred at Altyn, some 50 miles northwest of Blackfoot, the nearest station on the Great Northern. Mr. Esler was developing a big copper property on the ceded strip of the Blackfoot reservation. He organized a company a year ago and had just completed a - big concentrator. Mr. Esler was known in almost every mining camp in British Columbia and th'e western states. He was one of the earliest operators in the Nelson district being interested with A. H. Kelly in the Dandy- group on Toad mountain, and with' colonel Topping in the Ollie. Mr. Esler was a pioneer of Montana and Utah. He built the first smelter in Montana, and" was intimately connected with the mineral development of this state and Idaho. Mi*. Esler was born in New York 05 years ago. He first went- to Colorado and Utah; and from the latter state, went to Bannock in 1864. He remained there until the spring, of 1865,. when he returned to New York city, where in the following winter he organized the old Legal Tender Mining Company. Returning to Montana in 1866, Mr. Esler began- development of the property of the company at Argenta, Beaverhead county, . where he erected a smelter.- InT866.Mr. Esler leased a smelter at- Jefferson_City, which I was' afterwards burned.. Mr. Esler then .operated for j some - time with ��� varying success around Wickes. He next went to the Cceur d'AIenes, where he became interested in a deal looking to the development of the property purchased . by-. the Bunker Hill and Sullivan company. Mr. Esler engineered that deal and had more to do with the development of the great silver-lead district than any other enterprise. Mr. Esler was long prominently connected with the Coeur d'AIenes. He became interested in the property afterwards secured by the Helena & Frisco company, a corporation that he helped to organize. That company was composed exclusively of Helena capitalists, who made a large amount of money from the mine. The company affcerwardssoldarcontfolling ih"ter~ est to an English syndicate, and was recently consolidated with other enterprises. He was long connected with mining enterprises in the Rimini district and in other districts tributary to this city.

Tien Tsin, September 12.���Tho expedition under general Dorward, against the Boxers threatening the Tien Tsin region, seized Tu Liu on the grand canal, without opposition, and the city was occupied without a shot beiug fired. Three columns converged there yesterday, after a two days march, and found that the place had already surrendered to one officer and eight Bengal lancers. General Dorward ordered the town burned after it had been thoroughly looted. The villages en route made peace offerings and in most cases were undisturbed. Apparently the Boxers have disbanded in that region and the whole country is quiet. The B. E. French! Company. On Monday the R. E. French Company will commence a week's engagement at the opera house.

Snaps at 75, $1 and up. Everyone who has ���seen our $12 tweed suits says they are bargains at the price, and have the appearance of tailor made garments. Budson's Bay Stores ��He f&vxbnm. A. J. Andrews, of Winnipeg, in the course of a recent interview on the question of public ownership of public utilities, said: "The Winnipeg people are practically unanimous in favor of the municipalization of all public franchises within their scope, that is, within the scope of tho municipality. We have found that the public ownership of our waterworks has been a decided success financially aud every other way. Unfortunately, the street railway company have a long term of their franchise yet to expire, but steps are being taken now by the city council to acquire the electric lighting plant and also that of the gas company. Most of the public work in Winnipeg is carried out on the principle of contract employment of labor, and although there are some enemies yet, it has been found satisfactory on the whole, and resulting in better work and at less cost. The elimination of contractors' profit has enabled the city to pay better wages, and there is no temptation to scamp the work." As to the transportation question, Mr. Andrews said : "In my opinion the transportation question transcends all others of a public nature in Canada today. The future of the west is inseparably bound up with it, and I believe the extension of the Intercolonial railway is the only solution of the difficulty. The most popular policy that could be. inaugurated by any political party would be the extension of the Intercolonial to Georgian - Bay and and the building of a line from Fort William to Winnipeg by the people. -We Canadians have got into the habit of building railways and then paying corporations bonuses for taking them off our hands. I cannot believe that any political party would ever commit themselves to such a suicidal policy as the handing over of the Intercolonial railway to a corporation. It would be turning back the clock of history. Every candidate in the ensuing Doininion^electioris should be obliged not only not to consent to the sale of the Intercolonial, but to insist on its extension to the west." THE BOXERS. not that they may enter the athletic arena, bufc that they may engage in a'perfectly lawful and recognized career. They are engaged as watchmen by wealthy residents, and as guards by travelers carrying a large amount of money, or to convoy specie for great distances. Such a guard or watchman insures perfect safety, for it places the property or person under the protection of the Ta-Chuan union, and thieves or malefactors dread arousing its vengeance. Not a single instance is on record where a member of the Ta-Chuan was faithless to his trust. The government recognized the union, and frequently employed it to conA'oy treasure. The father of prince Tuan, aud grandfather of the heir apparent, is, and has been for years, the official patron of the union. It is evident from this explanation that a member of the Ta- Chauu corresponds somewhat to the modern calling of private detective in our social arrangements. This is further confirmed, since in either case men may.be hired for specific purposes, and not always in strict conformity to the law. The history of. the United States contains instances where corporations, in fear of depredations by striking workmen, haA-e engaged a body of private detectives to repel any attacks upon their plants. A man in possession of a well-filled purse could, at Pekin, engage any number of Ta-Chaun members for purposes which would not bear publicity. New Placer Excitement. Seattle, September 1_.���-The steamer Eliliu Thompson, captain B. P. Whitney, has arrived from Nome. The Thompson brought 196 passengers and had an uneventful trip, with no serious illness on the voyage. The amount of gold brought down Avas not known, but it is said very little was on board. The Thomson sailed from Nome August 28th, making the trip in twelve days. She brought as passengers many persons avIio were nearly destitute. At the time sho sailed conditions Avere little changed^ there beiug about 15,000 people in'camp, and many of, these in poor Condition for the coming winter.

DEWAR The Liberals of Nanaimo will ~have a man "of "money, for their candidate in the approaching federal election. William Sloan - enjoys the advantage of being immensely popular, and the possessor of a well filled sack which he secured as a pioneer of the Klon- dyke. A three cornered fight caused Nanaimo to go Liberal in 1800, but this year the Liberals consider themselves so well hooked up that they have no fear from an even break. The Kaslo Kootenaian in discussing prospective Conservative candidates for Yale-Cariboo says that Alexander Lucas will be the Kaslo nominee before the Revelstoke convention today. Rossland will probably have a quartette of favorites in O. H. Mackintosh, mayor Goodeve, Dr. Bowes and D. B. Bogle each of whom it is said; is willing to serve his party. From the number of men whose names have been mentioned in connection with the Conservative nomination for Yale-Cariboo it is evident that the extent of the constituency has no terrors for the ambitious politician. The political contest in Yale- Cariboo would take a sui'prising turn should the Conservatives nominate "Harry" Bently of Fernie. It is doubtful if there are two greater Writing, of "The Revolution in China and its causes," R. Van Bergen gives considerable information as to the Boxers. Any intelligent man who has =liv_ed__at_Eekin foi six_months. knows of these so-called Boxers," and has, knowingly or not, employed one or more of them. By the term "intelligent" is meant a man who does not suppose that every human being must necessarily understand his own language, but admits the fact that there are other tongues, and also that, when he travels or resides in foreign countries, it becomes him to familiarize himself with such foreign languages. Every resident of Pekin employs a watchman or doorkeeper, and that person is, in every instance, a member of the Ta-Chaun (literally, "Big Fist"); or, as it is now called, "Boxer," Society. Properly considered, it is not a secret society, but bears a great resemblance to our labor unions. Its purpose is mainly benevolent, namely, to provide for old or disabled members. The society, of the Boxers is made up of men whose physical and muscular strength has been trained purposely from early.youth, DEBENTURES FOR SALE ���The-City of-NelsonrBrilish-Columbiurhas authorized the issue of debentures for the following purposes: $15,000 for extending the Water- Works System.

Further details regarding the Arctic expedition of the duke of Abruzxi, on board the Stella Polaris whose safe return was reported from Thomson, Norway, show that the expedition last year, through Nightingale sound and the British canal, reached as far north as 82.4, but, finding no wintering harbor, it returned to Teplitz bay, Prince Rudolph's Land, where the Stella Polaris was fro/.en in, about September 1st. The cold increased to 82 degrees, Celsias. On March 11th, the advance was renewed, and ten men started north. After ten days' marching, three started to return to the ship, which, however, they never reached. Their fate is unknown. A second party of three men passed the 83rd parallel after a march of 20 days, and then returned to the ship. A third party, led by captain Cagni, with two Alpine guides and an Italian sailor, reached latitude S6.33, and was then obliged to return through lack of food. It started with 6 sledges and 45 dogs, and returned with 2 sledges and 7 dogs, having subsisted for 17 days exclusively on dog flesh. On August Sth the Stella Polaris started homeward. She traversed the British canal in a single day, and then drifted about for a fortnight in a severe struggle with drift ice, before reaching the open sea.

The duke is only 27 years old, but with his yacht Bona he has won fame already as a daring traveler. Not long before he started on the present voyage he climbed Mount St. Elias in North America, on the boundary line between Alaska and British Columbia, a peak deemed almost inaccessible. His companion on that trip was the Caviliere Umber to Cagni, a captain in the royal Italian navy, who was also his aide-de-camp in the Arctic voyage. His other comrades were Dr. Cavalli-Mollelli, lieutenant count Quarani of the navy, a member of an old Venetian family and a great linguist; two able-bodied seamen of the Italian navy, Giacamo Cardenti and ^Simone Camepa, and four mountain guides. All the inembers of the expedition; were supplied with an Eskimo equipment for the polar season. The collection of the scientific instruments and apparatus was large. The duke planed his own trip and directed the preparations with scrupulous care. He left nothing undone which would help to insure success. He fully expected to reach the Pole. The duke decided to try a different means from that of Nansen, and in his preparations he took exceeding care to make ready for a long advance and retreat on terra firma or the ice. The Stella Polaris carried 20 sleds, each weighing 48i pounds, and every sled was to carry eight alluminum boxes packed with stores and a cauoe. The runners of the sleds were shod with britannia metal, and had protective, removable wooden soles. Forty pairs of Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street J. M.

Ff teen hundred oak cases containing clothing, food, scientific materials, two balloons and apparatus for the manufacture of hydrogen were included in the ship's stores, the idea7being_to_iPlant_these���cases.,at- convenient intervals for the home coming. ' No Imprisonment for Women. Austria is the one country in the world which never puts a woman in prison. Instead of giving a female criminal so many months in jail, she is sent, no matter how terrible is her record, to one of the convents devoted to the purpose, and kept there during the time for which she is sentenced. The convent is not a mere prison in disguise, for its courtyard stands open all day long, the only bar to egress being a nun who acts as portress, just as in other convents. New York's Long- Lead.

In Italy a man has just died whose passing bell was a relief to the community. Signor Traversi was an exemplary citizen, a millionaire���it's easier to bo that in Italy, with a coin worth only one-fifth ot a dollar���the father of two esteemed playwrights. An excellent person in his way, but the king of all "kickers." Traversi's great speciality was lawsuits.; He turned his back on his birthplace, Milan, because he was defeated in a tax suit, aud forbade its name to be mentioned in his presence. By way of revenge on the city he retained his box in La Scala, the famous Milanese opera house, but kept it ostentatiously empt3r and closed. When the old emperor William visited Milan in 1873 the city authorities forcibly opened the box and assigned it to some German 'officers, for the performances'in honor of the emperor. The ertipty box would be an insult; it was not to be thought of. Traversi sued-the city for damages. Having won a hardly-contested case, he had the verdict engraved on a marble tablet iti the wall of his country house. Traversi was just as famous in Naples, where he had a famous record as a long-winded litigant. The most famous of all his suits is the roast beef case. Having ordered that dish iii a restaurant, he was told that he. could not be furnished, as the supply was exhausted'. He protested that the restaurant was obliged tosfurnish everything ou the bill of fare. Then he went away, and soon returned with a notary and two witnesses, had .documentaly evidence of the absence of roast beef drawn up according to law. ' He sued the restaurateur, and after being defeated in two courts was successful iu the third. The publican was fined 25 cents, the price of a portion of roast beef. Traversi _left directions that his funeral should be of the simplest possible character, and forbade the announcement of his death. Appro- piiately jto the memory of such a man,,Traverses will is to be contested. ��� Hisuheirs- will fight over his wealth ..as bitterly as he ever contested'a case in his lifetime.

Tbe London Free Press has been comparing the Canadian murder record with that of the Uuited States in the last census year. In 1890/7380 persons were in jail in the United States on the charge of murder. In 1880 the population of the United States was less than 03,000,000 ��� say eleven times as large as Canada's population last year. If the'nuniber of murders in Canada last year had been as great as the number in the Uuited States iu 1890, in proportion to population, we would have had in the Dominion last year 275 persons charged with murder instead of only 25. The number of persons charged with murder iu the United States iu 1890 was 29 times as large as it would have been if the number had been iu proportion to the number of such cases iu Canada last year. These figures justify the comment of the Free Press: "To her sharp, prompt and sure justice, does not Canada owe her extraordinary .immunity from violent crime, as compared with the great and equally enlightened and progressive nation next door .to us?."

Major Thomas Marchand, the French soldier aud explorer who is going to China to join the allied troops there, is chiefly famous for the work he did in Egypt two years ago, which brought France and Britain to the verge of war. In Mai'ch, 1897, Marchand left Brazzaville, the capital of the French Congo, and steamed up the M'bomo River, hauling his boats over the mountains between the Nile and the Congo basins. In July, 1898, he reached Fashoda, and then hoisted the French Hag. After lord Kitchener had broken the power .of the Mahdists at Omdurman, he sought out Marchand and notified the. explorer that;he was on Egyptian territory. But Marchand pluckily refused to budge. There he stayed, in fact, until his government ordered him to move. . -t_i:��.S_.S_.S_.^i��iS_.SLS_\:SLSL Xif ffl to to Season for Fruits ^^_^^_3_^_��_a_a_��_S:^.. to ffl fi ffl ffl] to Our pleasure is in supplying the best of ''fruits.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-09-15 |
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. |
