Galveston, September 11.���The White Cotton Screw Men's Organisation held a meeting last night and tendered their services, that of 500 able bodied men, to the public to clear the streets of debris. Big forces were at work last night, and the situation is much improved far as the passage of vessels i.s cerned. The city was patrolled last night by regular soldiers. No one was allowed on the streets without a pass. Several negroes were shot for not halting wheu ordered. It is reported that three of the citizen soldiery were shot by negroes. The steamer Lawrence arrived here this morning from Houston with water and provisions. A committee of 100 citizens were aboard. W. G. Van Vlack, general manager of the Southern Pacific, arrived here this moruiug. He thought it would be possible to establish mail service from Houston to Texas City tonight with transfer boats to Galveston. The dead-bodies have decomposed so much that it is impossible to send them to sea for burial. The water has receded so far, however, that it is possible to dig trenches, and bodies are being buried where found. Bodies are also being burned where it can be done. Work on the waterworks is being rushed, and it is hoped to be able to turn a supply on this afternoon. The relief committee met at 9 o'clock this morning. The city needs feed for horses. ,It is also badly in need of disinfectants. A barge load of lime at this time would be a blessing. Brasoria county has offered armed men to protect the city. . Houston, September 11.���Latest estimate . from . the Post correspondent, just back from Galyeston, places the number of dead at 5000. UNITED STATES WILL WAIT j- No Hurry to Negotiate. Washington, D. C, September 11.���From the formal statement give/v, out today it appears that the state department is not yet ready to begin direct negotiations with Li Hung Chang. It does not question his credentials as a plenipotentiary, but simply leaves the matter in abeyance. Probably this is because all the powers have not. yet returned the responses to the Russian note, and it is desired to' avoid making the United the first among the powers to abandon the harmonious action, and strike for itself toward the settlement directly with China. Also it may be deemed well to wait to hear from Mr. Conger, who several day_s_ago__>\as__.invited- to express his opinion about quitting Pekiu. Minister Wnwas at the state department today. It was understood his first call was, in part, ..at least, to secure transportation for Li Hung Chang from Shang-Hai to Taku on a United States vessel. His later call was to receive the answer of the department to the application, as well as to the communications1 respecting Li Hung Chang's functions. The answer returned by the state department to the latter communication apparently made it unnecessary at this time to pursue the inquiry as to the ship. If Li may.not enter into negotiations at present there is no occasion to transport him to Pekin. These Messengers Traveled. New York, -September 11.���Henry Ownden and Ernest Morton, two Canadian Pacific messenger boys arrived in the city Monday evening from Montreal. They made the trip on their bicycles. According to their story the bOys left Montreal at 4 o'clock Saturday morning.. The boys passed through Pittsburg, Whitehall, Saratoga and Albany, and then followed the Hudson river to this city, arriving at 6:30 o'clock Monday evening. The boys were on the road 62�� hours, including a five hour rest at Blue Stores, New York. They claim to have broken the record.- ____ Arresting Naturalized Japs. Vancouver, September 11.��� [Special to The Tribune.]���It looks as if some steps were being taken by the provincial government in the matter of the fraudulent naturalization of Japanese. Several of the Japs have. been arrested, upon whom naturalization papers were found which had been fraudulently secured. Chinese Patriotic Fund. Vancouver, September 11.��� [Special to The Tribune.]���The British Columbia Chinese today cabled $20,000 to China to assist in defraying the cost of raising a reform army for the purpose of protecting the Chinese emperor. WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE Than an Export Duty on Ore. The following, scheme of taxing the output of metalliferous mines was laid before the Dunsmuir government at the last session of the legislature, and had it been adopted a step would have been taken in the direction of protecting or encouraging home industries. It may be argued that four per cent is an excessive rate; but if such a tax would result in the treatment of all our ores within the province, surely no one could deny that the people of the - proA'ince would be greatly benefited. The people of Kootenay have .been clamoring for years for ' an increase of duties on lead and lead products, but their demands have been unheeded by the powers at Ottawa. They should begin work nearer home. -While the attack on Ottawa should not be abandoned, siege should Tie laid to Victoria. The Dunsmuir government can be captured by effective work. If two per cent is not too high a tax for the mine owner to pay who treats, or has treated, his ore within the province, then the mine owner who prefers to ship his ore to the United States for treatment should be made pay a little extra for the privilege : The Scheme. There shall be assessed, levied and collected quarterly from every person owning, managing, leasing or working a mine, and paid to her majesty, her heirs and successors, four per cent on the assessed value of all ore or mineral bearing substances, raised/ gotten or gained and which have been sold or removed from. the premises of any mine in the province, subject if the output thereof be smelted, milled or treated within the province, to the following rebate or refund, to be obtained upon a verified statement from the owner or manager of the mine, certified by the assessor of the district, and forwarded to the minister of mines. (a.) On the gross value of the output of any mine (mineral) so dealt with as aforesaid, up to the amount of the first five thousand dollars thereof, the whole of said tax: (b.) On the gross value of the output of any mine (placer or _dredgin_g)_so_dealt_with as aforesaid,= up to the amount of the first two thousand five hundred dollars thereof, the whole of said tax: (c.) On the gross value of the output of any mine (mineral) in excess of said five thousand dollars, or (placer or dredging) in excess of said two thousand five hundred dollars, one half of said tax: (d.) In this section the words "smelted, milled or treated within the province" shall not apply to ores which may be concentrated within the province if afterwards exported for further treatment. Will Care for the Eefugees. Cape Town, September 11.���In the Cape house of assembly today, the premier, sir John Gordon Sprigge, replying to a question concerning the fate of the refugees who have not been permitted to return to their occupations, said that if charitable funds failed, the government would see that the refugees did not starve. London, -September 12.4-The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail, referring to the question put to the house of assembly regarding the refugees, says: "The distress among them is very serious. Large numbers, mostly Americans, are living in caves on the sides of Table mountain, owing to their inability to pay rent. Bubonic Plague in Glasgow. Glasgow, Scotland, September 10.���An official bulletin, issued today, shows that an additional case of bubonic plague has been reported. There were today 10 cases and 112 cases under observation. KASLO MEN_ARE ARRESTED Local Mining S _uabhle. Kaslo, September 11.���[Special to The Tribune.]���A sensation was caused here this evening by the arrest of James D. Carlyle, who claims to be manager of the Lodestar Mining Company, and O. A. Sutherland, secretary of the board of trade, and holder of various other offices. Both are among the best known citizens, and their present position is due more to lack of thought than anything else. They are charged wifch unlawfully breaking into the office of the Lodestar company and stealing therefrom a ledger, cash book and journal. S. S. Connauton was mauaging director of the company. He went to Vancouver last week and left the affairs of the company in charge of mayor McAnn.. Next day Carlyle took possession of the steamer Marion, belonging to the company. When McAnn protested Carlyle produced a cablegram from president Blythe, dated Liverpool, England, appointing him managing- director, ' succeeding Connauton. McAnn claims that the appointment won't stand. Shortly before one o'clock this morning the chief of police found Carlyle and Sutherland in the "Lodestar company's office. The arrests are the result of the nocturnal visit. Had they waited till daylight, and then after due notice entered the premises it is difficult to see what action could have been taken. Carlyle when interviewed declined to make any statement, but appeared to think he had .taken the only course open to him. He said he notified several people, of his intention to enter the office. He has consulted Wheller & Martin. The preliminary hearing will probably be held before police magistrate Carney tomorrow. The Lone Star Mining Company owns claims up the Duncan river aud up the south fork of Kaslo river. It" is an English concern, and ,Mr.- Blythe, the president of the company is much interested in establishing a smelter here. .The present trouble arises out of disagreements between Carlyle and Connauton. Carlyle is said to^be a brother of the president, but dropped the name of Blythe on coming west. The legal fight will all turn on whether Carlyle was legally appointed manager or not. dinner was givftti by Edwin Dnranfc, on behali' of the British American Corporation. Then the workings of the Le Roi were visited, . where stopes of ore 105 feet wide were shown them. In the evening a grand banquet was tendered the governor-general at the Kootenay House. There were 75 present and the affair, was a great success. A number of interesting speeches were made in responding to the toasts. The party leaves for Nelson tomorrow. ANOTHER CABINET SHUFFLE French Ministers to Resign. Paris, September 11.���The Journal says, on the authority of a deputy who recently discussed the situation with several of the cabinet ministers, that a portion of them are in favor of the cabinet resigning in a body before the assembling���of���parliament;���on-the- ground that the government has accomplished the task for which it was constituted, that the Dreyfus affair is ended, that the defence of the republic has been placed on a firm basis, that the exposition is about to be closed, and that it would be best to resign in order to clear the political situation. The cabinet resignation, it is ; further: asserted, will do away with numerous interpellations on strikes, accidents at the exposition, and other incidents which threaten to cause stormy debates in the chamber, and president Loubet could then form a cabinet of Republican concentration, not including any of the present ministers. A decision, it is believed will probably be taken at an early meeting of the cabinet. The Eossland Reception. Rossland," September 11.���Lord Minto and party had a very, pleasant time today. In the forenoon they took carriages, accompanied by the mayor and eity council and the reception committee.^. The party halted at the corner of Columbia avenue and Washington street. Here the school children were assembled and sang "God Save the Queen" and the "Maple Leaf," and lord Minto made a neat speech. He heartily thanked the mayor and the citizens for the many courtesies shown him and his party. Then a drive was taken around the city. After this the party proceeded to the Centre Star mine, and visited the 400 foot and other levels, and were driven .over the surface of the I War Eagle. In the afternoon a U. S. WILL AVOID A CLASH In. the Chinese. Trouble. Washington, September 10.��� The developments __". the day in the Chinese situation,still point to a speedy withdrawal of the United States troops from China. General Chaffee has added the weight of his opinion to that already entertained by many officials here. It probably is significant that the general's statement on this point was given publicity by the administration. No confirmation is at hand here to the report that'Great Britain and Germany haye joined in. an agreement'to "remain together in Pekin, regardless" of the attitude of the other, powers.'.- Should this be true, the fact "would doubtless hasten - the" -i rearward movement of the, "American troops, for there is a firm determination to avoid becoming involved in any clash between the powers, such as might reasonably' be expected to follow the execution of this reported British-German programme. If there has been further responses to the -Russian note relative to evacuating, their purport cannot be ascertained./ -This delay no longer interferes with the' execution of the American policy. The part of the problem relative to the. withdrawal that remains unsolved is the best means of securing guarantees for the attainment, of the few objects set out in secretary Hay's note of July 3r,d, which haye not yet been secured.'-'Possibly guarantees must be robtained from two sides from , the Chinese ���government as to the security of American treaty rights, and the creation of a claims commission which shall provide for the payment of indemnity for the losses suffered by American citizens and for the expenditure on account of the Pekin relief expedition. Then it is entirely possible that it may be regarded as necessary, if any of the allies refuse to leave Pekin and persist in a war of conquest, that the interests of the United States in the matter of trade of the "open door" and of all rights now guaranteed to the United States in China by treaty be made a matter of special agreement between the United States and these waring powers. It does not follow that because the "United-States troops are to be withdrawn this autumn from China that United States interests will be left completely at the mercy of other powers. On the contrary such" disposition will be made of these troops that they, with others if necessary, can be returned to China in short order. To this end the entire army of general Chaffee will be quartered in some of the pleasantest and most salubrius portions of the Philippines. If they are wanted again in China they can be transported inside of a week, thoroughly refreshed and fitted for effective action. Minister Wu has not been clothed with powers by his government to effect a settlement of the Chinese trouble directly with the Washington authorities. The officials are inclined to believe that no such large power as this will be conferred upon him, though he may, as do the Chinese ministers in Europe, play a most important part in the preliminaries to the institution of -regular negotiations through commissioners for a final settlement. Gold Discoveries in Lardo. Kaslo, September, 11.���[Special to The Tribune.]���A very important find of free milling ore has been made in Lardo, which up to the present has not been thought to possess gold as well as silver ledges, The discovery was made on Lake Creek, on a claim belonging to the Gold Hills Mining Company of Toronto. Assays of $12 and $19 have been obtained. If these values are maintained the company will have a big thing. MORE MURDERS REPORTED In Chinese Missions. Tien-Tsin, September 3, via Nagasaki, September 10.���The Americans and British are considering the feasibility of transferring their winter supply base from Tong Ku, to a point near Shan Hai Kwan, on the gulf of Laao Tung, wliich is free of ice and is also a railway terminus. The chief difficulty in the way of the project is the lack of troops to guard the railway. The British marines and two naval "guns have been withdrawn on shipboard. Thirty-five villages in the vicinity of Tien-Tsin have petitioned the provisional government for protection. Boxers are reported massing along" the grand canal. The latest reports received here from Pekin say the empress dowager is in the province of Shan Si, and that the Japs are pursuing her. A Christian refugee from Piao Ting Fu asserts he saw a large force of Boxers .between Pekin and Piao Ting Fu. He also confirms the news of the massacre (already reported) by provincial soldiers of missionaries at on August 15th. the American Fen Chow Fu, Mr. Atwafcer and his wife, with their two -children, Mr. Legren aud his wife, and Miss English, were beheaded. He confirms the report of the killing of 23 members of the English mission' at Tai Wuan Fu. At Tai Ku, where Miss Coombs was thrown into the flames of the burning- mission buildings, and where ten French priests were killed, all the members" of the American mission were exterminated. The men making a gallant stand until their ammunition ran out. He says there is no doubt that Miss Whitchurch and Miss E. E. Searell .were murdered at Hsiao, and he confirms the reported massacre of Miss French and Miss Palmer, as well as of hundreds of native Christians, in the Chi Shien district of the province of Shan Si. The same refugee, gives further details as to . the- condition of- the party of foreigners already reported as under siege August 25tli by Chinese regulars in the province of Shan Si, and says that the party consisted of four priests, five nuns, five European engineers and several missionaries,' and that they were surrounded by troops who had retreated from Pekin. ENFORCINC MECHANIC'S LIEN County Court Cases. An interesting mining case was argued at the county court yesterday before judge Forin, the action being Nelson vs. Fulmer et al, and Cross vs. Fulmer et al. The suit is to establish mechanic's liens against the-Beatricemine.���Judgment-was- reserved. The property involved is a well- known mine in the Lardo district, owned by F. Fulmer, J. Boucher and J. F.Boucher. In 1898 Beer Brothers, of Nelson, took a working bond on the property, which they afterwards assigned to one Briggs, as trustee for a Chicago syndicate. Briggs hired men to work the mine, carried on development and shipped a quanity of ore. Then the syndicate suspended operations, leaving a number of men with unpaid wages. Four liens were filed against the Beatrice, and the case was heard yesterday, W. A. Galliher appearing for plaintiffs and S. S. Taylor, Q. C, fo. the defendants. Technical objections were made to the affidavits filed by plaintiffs, and the position taken thafc under the arrangements existing between the owners and the parties working the property, the former were not liable. During the afternoon the suit of Lawr vs Byers was.tried^.. The defendant recently purchased;, lots 23 and 24 in block 70 from Mrs. W. F. Traves upon which two houses were in course of erection. Plaintiff Lawr did the lathing and plastering on the houses and filed a mechanics' lien to collect his accounts. W. A. Galliher appeared for plaintiff and A. Johnson for the defence. Judgment was reserved. Chamberlain's Manifesto. London, Sept. 11.���Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, in the form of a letter to the Durliam Conservative Asso ciation, issues an election manifesto. Referring to the settlement in South Africa, he said: "I should seriously fear that if by any cause the Liberals were now returned to office they would be ready to throw away, iu connection with the settlement, the position which has been so hardly gained by the sacrifices of war. I hope every elector who feels that the arrogant and arbitrary tyranny of the Boer oligarchy, culminating in an invasion of her majesty's territories, requires to be dealt with by a strong hand, will support the Unionist candidates at the polls. BURIED THE DEAD AT SEA Much Looting at Galveston. . Houston, Texas, September 11.���- The tug boat Brunswick, which arrived here last night from Galveston, brought additional details of the Galveston horror. The terrors of-Sunday were as nothing compared with-Monday. An attempt was made to bury the dead,- but the ground was full of water and it was impossible to dig trenches. Aldermen MacMaster and. S. Mor- risey secured authority to have the bodies taken to sea for burial, and a barge was brought up to the Twelfth street wharf for,' that purpose. The firemen rendered heroic service in bringing the. bodies to the wharf, but it was almost impossible to get other men to handle them; . ' ��� -- ��� During the storm and afterwards, a great deal of looting was done. Many stores had been closed, their owners leaving to look, after their families. The -waters forced in the windows and left the contents of stores and dwelling easy prey,.for the marauders. Ghouls stripped dead bodies of jewelry and articles of value. Captain Rafferty, commanding the United States troops here, was applied to for help and he sent in seventy' men, the remnant of the battery of artillery, to do police duty. They arV patrolling the streets under the- direction of the chief of police." An urgent appeal to the outside world-was issued, and those who respond are asked to send contributions to John Sealy, chairman of the finance committee; W. C. Jones, mayor. M. Lasker, president Island Cifcy "savings bank; J. D. Skinner, Galveston cotton exchange; C. M. McMaster, Galveston chamber of commerce; R. G. Lowe, manager of the Galveston News,7or Clarence Ousley, manager of the Galveston Tribune. At 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon a meeting of prominent citizens was held at the chamber of commerce for the purpose of organizing to relieve the suffering and to bury the dead. A burial committee was appointed, charged with collecting and burying all dead. Inquests will be dispensed with. A Hameline, a traveling salesman _whp_arrived_on_.the^-tugboat,-says- that only one house is left standing at Sherbrooke. The mainland is strewn with dead. New York, September 11.���W. H. Baker, vice-president of fche Postal Telegraph and Cable Company, of New York, today received the following dispatch from W. H. Ordway, auditor of the Texas branches of the company at Dallas: "Superintendent English reports manager Crowe and family at Galveston safe. Chief operator Johnston lost wife and children; night chief Jefferson and family safe." Germany Has No Designs. Berlin, September 11.���At the German foreign office general Chaffee's dispatches to Washington, declaring the necessity of troops remaining in Pekin, have been noted with setisfaction. Speaking with reference to the statements that attribute to Germany ambitious -schemes on the Yang Tse Kiang, a foreign official said today: "Such statements are absurd, as Germany has landed only 500 men, whereas Great Britain and France have each landed. Germany's action there is wholly precautionary for the protection of the lives and property of Germans." India Gets .Needed Rains. London, September 11.���Baron Curson of Keddlestone, viceroy of India, has cabled the Indian office that good rains have fallen in Madras and Central Bengal and on Gangetic plain, relieving all present anxiety regarding the autumn crops in these territories. The total number now receiving famine rations has fallen to 4,334,000.

An undated dispatch from Tien- Tsin-rep"orts"tlm_"it was delayedbjT bad weather. Shang-Hai correspondents confirm the assertion of Dr. Morrison, the Pekin correspondent of the Times, that the military parade through the imperial palace was a Russian triumph. As the result of Dr. Morrison's account a timely reinforcement of the opinion is beginning to be expressed in the London papers to the effect that in spite of all her talk about the evacuation of Pekiu, Russia has made no sign of withdrawing, but on the contrary is continually shipping fresh troops from Odessa to China. ��� The Shaug-Hai correspondent of the Morning Post says it is considered certain that Li Hung Chang has bribed Russia and Germany to evacuate Pekin.

Poker a Game of SkilL Jacob Mendall was charged at the police court in Hamilton last week with keeping a common gaming house on market square, crown attorney Crerar prosecuting and George L. Staunton, Q. G, defending him. The complainant was .Abel Lustick of Rochester, who testiQed that he had lost $10 at poker in Mendall's rooms, Mendall having received a rake-off of five cents every time the cards were dealt. In view of a decision given several years ago by the late judge Muir, and arguments by the crown attorney at that time, magistrate Jeffs decided that poker was not a game of chance, but a game of skill, aud that it was not illegal for a man to keep rooms for the accommodation of persons who wished to play cards, if the players were all treated alike, and the bank not kept by any one of them.:' The crown attorney protested against such places as Mendall's being allowed to continue*;, A NEW LAMP. Ottawa Citizen. A powerful incandescent light has been perfected by Mr. V. L. Emerson of Ottawa, that uses coal oil or naphtha as f tier and far exceeds in brilliancy any light yet produced. The light is steady, soft and white and a small table lamp with this light will give more light than an ordinary arc light and does not nicker like arc lights do. The cost of operating the light is said to be about 1-6 of a cent per hour. There is no gas holder or accumulation of gas to affect insurance. No water is required to operate the light as is required with all other types of gas machines. One jet of this light is said to be about equivalent to about ten burners of light produced by the best gas machines or city gas and the expense of producing a light is no more than is required for operating an ordinary coal oil lamp. The entire lighting apparatus is portable, and an apparatus that will light a store or residence as light as day may be carried in the hand. ��� A complete plant that will produce a thousand candle power may be installed at a prico not exceeding $25, while a street lamp producing two thousand candle power will nofc exceed $30. The apparatus produces the light by atomizing oil and mixing it witli atmospheric air. The air and gas produced from the oil are sprayed on a Aim that is chemically treated so that heat will not affect it. The action of the air and the oil-gas on this Aim produces an intense in- candescency. The apparatus works automatically after once' started and does not require the care of an ordinary coal oil lamp. Six 16- candle power electric lights will not give sufficient to make a shadow, in the presence of this light. Arrangements have been made whereby Ottawa capitalists will form a company to manufacture the new incandescent of light as perfected by professor Emerson. Andrew Holland and other experts in light, who have examined this new illuminating medium, state that it far surpasses anything else ���for-the���purpose���of���producing-an- artiAcial light. Mr. Emerson is now engaged in getting out several styles of lights for factory and store lighting, which SALE BY TENDER UNDER JUDGMENT ACT.

SIMPKINS.- District Registrar Supremo Court of British Columbia. will give from 1000 to 10,000 candle power. A number of prominent concerns, as well as individuals, have already placed orders for lights, and the new company will start out in a short time with a large number of orders on hand. The machinery for the manufacture of the light will be of the most modern kind, whicli will enable the company to produce a superior lighting apparatus at such a price as to place it within the reach of all. Heating and cooking apparatus will be one of the specialties of the company, so that the lighting apparatus will supply both heat and light. Mr. Emerson has only perfected his lamp within the past ten .days, and is making application for the patents in Canada and the United States. He claims that cities may be lighted with this new lamp in a cheaper and better manner than with electric lights. The hollow base of the poles may be filled with coal oil whicli is conveyed to the lamp above by small wires, and a sufficient supply may be poured into the pole at any one time to last a month. By a clockwork arrangement the lamps are lighted automatically. Any of Mr. Emerson's lamps may be made to give a more powerful light by pumping air into the oil chamber with an ordinary bicycle pump. Only one such lamp is now in existence, and that is in use in Mr. Emerson's house, 61 Primrose avenue. It has such an intensity that it may be seen from a long distance away. By reason of the lamp's brightness Mr. Emerson's house may be at once located, as it was last night by a reporter who was groping hi3 way along the dark streets on Primrose hill. Mr. Emerson explained the method of operating his lamp. He had in the room an acetylene lamp and six 16-candle power incandescent lights. He made it plain that his light was much more powerful than the others bj' a series of interesting experiments. He placed a radiometer, a light measuring apparatus, beside the incandescent lights. The> delicate wings barely moved in recognition of the light's power. The acetylene lamp caused them to travel about four revolutions to the second. The coal oil lamp made the wings revolve with such rapidity that one could not be distinguished from the other. ., The coal oil lamp was extin1 guished and the-room seemed dark in comparison, despite the fact that the electric lights and acetyline lamps were still burning. Mr. Emerson showed how clearly colors were brought out by this light. Professor Emerson has also perfected at his laboratory a complete new plant for, the treatment of sawdust for the recovery of valuable products. Two extensive plants will be constructed in the United States this year according to this system. It will bo remembered that one of these plants was tested in Ottawa last year .and reported on in the most favorable terms by professors Ruttan and Nicholson of McGill university, and has since demonstrated its coramer? cial practicability. j-^'-f _r'_? _>'^'^;_-'^'^_��'^'^,-��'C,lS,C,C,C'__['^,fl-i,__l,g,Sl,<----^ -s^-_<-A-_>-a-_��-_��-_--_>-_��'_��-_��-_>-a-a��-_>-ai-����.^-_>-->-��-_i._>._��._>.s-.

Since bis appointment as Dominion inspector under the alien contract labor law, Edward Williams ,nas investigated eight cases of alleged violation of the law in this city. In all but two of these cases he found the evidence insufficient to warrant him in taking action. Two workmen brought here from Cleveland to work for the Hamilton Iron & Steel Company have been deported by him, the violation of the law in their cases being quite clear. This evoning Mr. Williams will leave for Ottawa and Montreal to investigate charges of violation of the act in those cities. From this it appears that his jurisdiction is not confined to the Hamilton district or even to this province. It is too soon yet to assume that the /intention of the Laurier govern- ment is to enforce the alien contract labor act as a permanent policy. The sudden determination to en force it and the appointment of an officer for that purpose, after the act has been hung up for years, may be evidence of a sincere desire ^on the part of the government to protect Canadian labor from the unfair competition of cheap imported alien labor. But the government cannot reasonably complain if its enemies charge it with having p,iit off action until the eve of the elections and then adopted it solely for the purpose of influencing votes. The only certain test of the government's sincerity can be made after 'the elections. If the Liberals are retained in power and if the gov- Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. 0., and Dawson City, N. W. T. erument then continues to enforce the act, there will be no reason to question its sincerity. In the meantime the enforcement of the act will do good. , That good is not to be measured by the num- ber of' laborers deported for yiola- "tioimof"tlie~~a^t7=It"il^tB=lje=liopeH= that few of such cases will be necessary. The object of the act is to prevent the importation of alien labor under contract, and if Canadian employers of labor observe the law there will be no occasion to put it in force. And it may be added that no excuse exists for the importation of unskilled labor into Canada. There is plenty of it to be had at home. With certain classes of skilled labor it is different. The Herald is warranted in saying that the law will not be used to prevent employers bringing iuto Canada workmen who are v'skilled in work that is not done by Canadian workmen because there has hitherto been little or no demand for it.

Grand Forks Gazette. T. W. Holland, secretary of the Grand Forks Townsite Company, has returned from Victoria, where he had been for some time looking after the interests of the bill^grant- ing a charter for the proposed railway between Grand Forks and Republic. He is much pleased over the granting of the charter and when interviewed on the subject said that as soon as a few preliminaries could be arranged the work of surveying the route would be commenced. Perhaps, he said, they might be able to get to work next week, but if not then the party would be in the field as soon thereafter as possible. Once the survey is completed the road will be pushed through' with-, out a moment's delay, as there is a crying need for its completion at The road presents no particular engineering difficulties, as it will follow the valley of Kettle river as far as Curlew, and from there follow up Curlew creek and the San Poil to Republic, a distance, roughly speaking, of 34 miles. The first work to be accomplished will be the building of the line from this city to Carson, and from there over the line to the great gold camp the road will be pushed ahead at a more leisurely pace, the first effort being to get the line from here to Carson completed as rapidly as rapidly as possible.

He worked iu the Lake Shore mine aud boarded at the Central hotel. There he met Miss Jane Montgomery, and as time passed the two became infatuated with one another. On the morning of the 13th of last January the couple- walked to Moyelle station, boarded the train and went into Cranbrook and were quietly married. They returned the following day and have made Moyie their home ever since. All went well until a few weeks ago, when Mrs. Hocking learned that ,her_husband-had_a-jvife-and^twr> children.living in Salt Lake City, Utah. Then the trouble commenced. A warrant was procured and Hocking arrested. At the preliminary hearing Hocking set up the plea that it was a case of mistaken identity. That he had a cousin Avhose name is W. R. Hocking, and that it was he who was married. He claims his cousin's surname is AVilliam Richard, while his is William Roland. Sufficient evidence was found, however, to bind him over to appear before the district court at Nelson for trial. Palace IVJeat H/jarl^et Headquarters ��� for all kinds of Fresh and Cured Meats.

T.H.BROWN Cyclists Badly Injured. Neav Haven, Connecticut, September 11.���As the result of a spill at the Colliseum board track tonight, Miller, the six day champion of the world, it is feared sustained concussion of the braiu, and Archie McEachern, of Canada, was also badly injured. The pacemakers on the motor tandems were all more or less injured. Miller and McEachern were riding in the six day race (one hour a night) aud coming into the last lap of the 32 miles McEachern's machiue sustained a puncture, and tho swift Canadian rider ran full tilt into his pacemakers. He was hurled high into the air and lauded among the spectators. The injured motor then started straight down the track into the path of the Miller motor, which was coming around the turn at a terrific clip, with the result that there was a collision and the men on both machines were thrown into a heap. Miller, who was riding very close behind his machine, was thrown into the air fully ten feet and landed on the left side of his head against the press box. His condition was considered to be so serious that he was removed to the hospital. Conservatives Meet. A meeting of the Liberal-Conservative Association took place last night at the board of trade rooms, John Toye, vice-president, occupying the chair. Matters of geueral interest to the party in connection with the forthcoming campaign were discussed. As the notices of meeting did not specify the election of delegates to attend the Conservative convention at Revelstoke on the 15th instant, it was decided to have a general meeting of the party on Thursday night in the rooms over Neelands' shoe store, to which all Conservatives are invited. .

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-09-12 |
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. |
