ANOTHER CHAPTER OF IMPRESSIONS IN SOUTH AFRICA The smoker was ar- give Lee a chance to The smoker at tlie opera house last night in honor of private Alexander S. Lee was successful in many respects. About 400 citizens turned out to honor the returned volunteer and they were enthusiastic whenever tlie khaki-clad figure was iii evidence. -The entertainment was .arranged on a few hours' notice and the audience seemed willing to put up with delays whieh would not have been tolerated had the facts been other than they were ranged to give J-iee a meet old acquaintances and relate a portion of his adventures under the British flag. This he did and the,audieiieo was satisfied.'-'Refreshments were served and the proceedings lasted until a late hour. Mayor Houston took the chair in opening. He welcomed private Lee home on behalf of the citizens and referred , amid applause to the manly way in whicli the Canadian volunteers, particularly those of tho lirst contingent, had upheld the honor of .Canada while fighting for the Empire in South Africa. Their deeds, he said, had reflected credit on themselves, and upon the colony which sent them forth. He introduced private Lee who received a splendid reception. Rev. William Munroe, pastor of the Congregational church, followed with a neat , speech, in the course of which he paid a glowing tribute to the ' Canadian vblunteers-^and^-the Em* - pi re >for-which they Kad-fought." -• Private Lee contributed "two speeches during the evening. Iu the first he devoted himself to" de- ... ...scribing the movements of thejDan- - adian contingent after it left Cape Town to the point where they reached Pretoria, when he left with captain, now major Hodgins to work on the railroad division. The second address dealt with some of tho incidents along the line of march, such as the emergency ration episodes, water supply, etc., most of which h.ave already been touched on in Thfj Tribunr. Hearty cheers were accorded Lee at the conclusion of each speech and this was repeated during the singing of "Soldiers of the Queen," when he stood at attention on the stage. The balance of the program was contributed by Messrs. Dick Slugg, Albert-Steele, C. Hislop, Winter, /Smith, R. Thompson and others. — How^DewetHTook="Bevenge. in running over his' experiences in Africa private Leo gives several incidents of further interest. Among these is the story of the Boer gon- ei-al De wet's revenge, ft was currently reported among the British troops that Dewet's continued persistence was not because ho hoped to secure any special successes against the British, but morely to gratify his private revenge. The British had burned Dewet's farmhouse, and when tho Boer general learned of this he said: "I'll destroy a million pounds worth of English property to even up." He started ,in and how well he succeeded is known to all who have followed the newspaper reports of the recent course of events. One of Dewet's acts which the troops felt more than anything else, was his burning of the mail train at tho point where the railroad from De Afi' to Johannesburg crosses the Vaal river. It was the first mail sent north after the troops left Bloemfontein for Johannesburg and contained four months' letters and papers for 70,000 men. Dewet wrecked the train and, set fire to the whole outfit. Private Lee came back over this road and states that for two square miles arouud the bridge the ground is covered with half charred papers. It is estimated that several hundred thousand letters and papers were burned in pure watonness as the Boers made no attempt to read the letters or profit by any of the correspondence. This hurt tho soldiers feelings worse than a good licking. According to Lee, modern war fare must lack all the picturesque features of the conflicts of early days. He has been under constant fire for three days and never saw a Boer during that period. In fact the first Boer Lee set eyes on was one who came into camp to surrender. He says the regiment would march into a" position, lie down and, receive instructions to fire at the skyline of a kopje a mile distant. Furthermore they never knew how many men wero engaged on either side. The British army was dogged by spies, and they were so adept at securing information that nothing was divulged save what was absolutely necessary and that at the last moment. Thus it was that the Canadians would go into an engagement not knowing whether there wero 1000 or 100,000 more British in the same fight. Two° regiments might march along the veldt within two miles of each other and each be profund ly ignorant of the other's location for a week. There were no grand stand plays, and if the men had enough to eat aud drink, with sufficient time to sleep, they were satisfied to let well enough alone. The people in Nelson were much better informed as to the general course of events than were the members of the contingent. In fact the latter were profoundly ignorant of all that was transpiring outside their immediate vicinity. Judging from private Lee's experience there is nothing very terrible about a modern battlefield. He was under fire many times but -never saw, a man, Briton or Boer, killed, nor did he ever to his knowledge fire a bullet which killed a Boer, although his Lee- Enfield rifle was practically worn out by use. The lirst dead man he saw in the campaign was at Paardeburg when he happened across two dead Boers in a trench. Lee says the lyddite used by the British had a terrible effect. On one occasion a shell was exploded over a Boor position and the defenders driven out. When the British entered they found 00 Boers had been killed by the lyddite and it was presumed that as many more wounded were carried off. Russia Has Money to Burn. -' Wasiji*votox, November 0.—M. Bouttowski, finance secretary of the Russian, embassy, has returned from St. Petersburg, where he had an opportunity to confer with the Russian minister of finance, M. _Dewitt,_and_ to learn_from_the authorities the satisfactory condition of Russian finances. On his return Mr. Bouttowski was somewhat surprised to see it reported that Russia was seeking to place loans in the United States and advised the most responsible American financiers in New York that no such investment was contemplated. The rumors continued to circulate, however, so Mr. Bouttowski gave the Associated Press tho following official communication which he received from the imperial minister of finance of Russia: "in view of the rumors which began to circulate again in tho foreign press about the suggested negotiations by 'the Russian government of a loan, the ministry of France considers it necessary to declare once more that the Imperial Russian government is neither contemplating nor disposed to negotiate loans of any kind, the ordinary revenues and the free cash reserves of the treasury being more than sufficient to meet all expenses, not only ordinary but also the extraordinary, necessitated,by events in the far east." . ' France Would Have Acted Early. Paris, November .9.—The Chinese yellow book which was distributed in parliament today shows that early in March M. Delcasse, the French minister of foreign affairs, urging a combined naval demonstration in view of the agitation in China, was opposed by a majority of the powers, lord Salisbury saying that in view of the uncertainty it was preferable to let the situation ripen, pointing out that the government of the United States had already declared it would not participate in a * naval demonstration, which was contrary to its policy. Count von Buelow, German minister of foreign affairs, under date of April- 4th, also thought the trouble in Shan Tung province had completely calmed down. M. Jules Cambon, the French ambassador at Washington, under date of April nth, replying to M. Delcasse's enquiry as to one American vessel with a British and German ship being sent to the gulf of Pechili said the. - Washington government thought that the growing agitation of the secret socities justified precautions which ought to take the character of a joint demonstration of tho powers, as minister Conger requested. Secretary Hay thought the fears manifested in China were exaggerated. M. Cambon on June 8th reported a conversation with secretary Hay, who said minister Conger wns only .instructed to do what was essential to protect American interests. Mr. Conger did not desire to amalgamate his action with that of the united powers. Typhoid in Montreal. Montreal, November 9.—An ou t- break of typhoid fever in two convents situated in this city has been traced to the milk supply obtained from a farmer named Choquette of Beloeil. There are twenty cases so far in the two institutions." An examination showed that one of Choquette's help had typhoid in his family and that one of the man's men had actually milked cows while, suffering from a mild attack of the disease. An example is to be made of Choquette. SIR CHAS. TUPPER RETIRES ON A CHARGE OF FORGERY CHARLES CUMMINGS ARRESTED AT GRAND PORKS. Is a Real Estate and Mining Broker and Well-Known in . Nelaon.

Montreal, November 9. — Sir Charles Tupper today announced his retirement from public life. He arrived in town this morning from Halifax and met a number of prominent Conservatives. Sir. Charles had offers of half a dozen safe seats, but declared that his defeat iii Cape Breton afforded him an excellent chance of retiring and he intended spending the:remainder of his days in his own family. Sir Charles expressed, the hope that Hon. George E. Foster would secure a seat in parliament without great delay. The choice of his successor will be made by Conservative members. The names most prominently mentioned are Hon. George E. Foster, sir-C.-II.-Tupper and-AIr.—CasgraiiiT- Sir C. H. Tupper came up from the Maritime provinces with his father and left later for the Pacific coast. He attributed the' Conservative losses in the lower provinces to the fact that the Acadian, vote went soldidly for Laurier. Engineer Instantly Killed. .

North Fork of Kettle River'Iraprovem'ent Company. It is alleged that after he had been notified,by the provincial government of £he cancellation of the franchise, he'showed E.;Sprag- gett, lumber merchant, a, telegram purporting to have been received from C. C. Young of Boston and in which Young offered five hundred dollars for Cummings quarter interest in the franchise. Mr. Sprag- gett, being unaware of the circumstances and being' interested as a sawmill owner on~the_Kettle river, was offered the quarter interest for the same figure.^; He .accepted the terms .and;- \\\ ":^i_^^^ym^{itx_t\^ j alleged, Jassumed-aii '"obligation of Mr. Cummings'"amounting to one hundred and twenty-nine dollars. Subsequently he learned that the franchise was valueless- and that the seller had been so notified by the provincial government prior to Spraggett's purchase', - Acting upon the advice of It.- A. Dickson, his counsel, Mr. .Spraggett demanded and obtained restitution. Mr. Spraggett, who had been handed the alleged dispatch .from Young to Cummings, submitted it to the local agent of the Spokane Northern Company, who pronounced it a forgery. .The telegram, it appears, was typewritten on a blank form of that company. The facts having been brought to the attorney-general's attention the -present. proceedings were ordered .to be instituted. Japanese Way in Battle. ^-"When-th"e~allie"s^laynSn"der~~tl!e~ fire from the walls of Tien-Tsin, and to show an inch of- head'meant death, occurred a striking incident, says Harper's Weekly. The Japanese held a row of huts along a canal leading to the south gate of the city, about half a mile away. An interval of 250 yards between two rows of these houses was.a. zone of death, and the Japanese forces occupied both sides of i t. No one knows how many thousand Chinese rifles covered this area. A Japanese officer galloped up to.the shelter of the nearest house and started a soldier with a verbal order across the open zone. Within .30 yards he fell dead. Another soldier, without an instant's hesitation, dashed out with the repeated message, and his body fell at his companion's feet. Instantly, like clockwork, as if tho whole Japanese army were available to be slaughtered, the officer sent forward another white-uniformed, brown-vis- aged messenger. To the relief of the onlookers he got safely through. Sugar Prices Reduced. Montreal, November 9.—Refined sugar prices here were reduced 15 cents per hundred today. The reduction is due to a decline in New York prices. Granulated is now quoted at $4.85. and in protecting the convoys and infantry from these attacks on the return march.

London, November 9.— What is possibly the most brilliant of all public functions in -England, the lord mayor's banquet, took place' this evening. It was a memorable' event to Americans by reason of the following remarkable utterance of lord Salisbury, who in the presence of 900 guests, including United States ambassador Choate, the -members of the-British cabinet and many of the leading men of England spoke as follows of the American elections: "We believe that the cause which has been won is the cause of civilization and commercial honor. We believe their principles to be at the root of all' prosperity and' progress in the' world. Therefore, we claim that we have as much'right to rejoice in- wlmt has' taken - place as the distinguished "gentleman (referring to Mr.-Choate):. who sits at my side." This waS'followed by loud and prolonged cheering whicli made the. golden plate on the oaken shelves shiver. • - . Lord Salisbury's, "incursion into the internal politics of the- United- States was preceded by an apology, in the course - of which ho said: "One of the circumstances which gratifies me most .during the last year is the very hearty friendly feeling < displayed between this country and - the United. States. I hope Mr. Choate will forgive nie- if there is any irregularity in the. expr.ession.-c;.„„.-,^J.jj^£.-£J. _j: "It is quite .wrong for a'secretary of state to make any observations in respect' to the. internal' politics of another country, but I am* soon to give up my office, and in view of this abandonment, which is close at hand, I hope Mr. Choate will forgive me for expressing tho supreme satisfaction with which all of us have heard of what has recently taken place in the United States." Mr. Choate replying a fewminutes later to the toast of the diplomatic corps, declared that lord Salisbury had stated with such truth, simplicity and earnestness, the result ot the election that lie (Choate) woulcj not attempt to add to it, although he would venture to congratulate the.noble lord upon the fact that his remarks, had been made after instead of before the election. (Laughter.) Except in its reference to the United States, the speech of the premier cast an extraordinary gloom over the gorgeous banquet. Following directly the colonel commanding tho City' Imperial Volunteers, lord Salisbury startled his hearers, who caught tho drift of his remarks, by satirizing the Avar fever, although praising the courage of tho soldiers and declaring that the passionate admiration of military valor evidenced by tho populace must produce a. change of attitude on the part of the outside world when viewing English chai- acter. Then with lowered voice and almost trembling accents he went on to speak of the price of victory and the ravages of death, dealing especially with the queen's bereavement in the loss of prince Christian Victor. Finally, with bent head and hands .clasped he uttered a hope, almost a prayer, that lord Roberts might be spared the sorrow now hanging over him by reason of the critical condition of his daughter. Tears sprang to the eyes of. the women and the men moved uncomfortably in their seats. Tho premier then reviewed tlie events of the last twelve months. Mr. Kruger and the empress of China, ho went on to say, had forced war upon Great Britain. He maintained that tlie British war oflico deserved great credit for tiie way in which it had handled these emergencies. "Despite nebulous and fictitious attacks, we should be glad to improve all the defects of tho war office and our utmost efforts will be devoted to that task, but 1 should rather deprecate any unnecessary examination into what has occurred. You will not add to the enthusiasm of our troops by-so"i doing."' * -" ' • r , ;;..v'^f _ He dilated-upon the strengthened* ties between ,the mother ..counti^ "and the colonies" during-the',-year? and poked fun at the delay ~corise$ qiieht upon the European'-concern- when dealing with China.',yit was* not appropriate for - him/ he de? clared, to comment upon negotia-? tions while in progress, but he" said? he would make an exception Jin tfiet case of-the Anglo-German compact^ "This," ho remarked' ."represents*"" the feelings of most if notralli'tliel powers allied.

The one industry on which the prosperity of this -constituency is almost wholly dependent is mining ; and Ave believe ��� that our mining industries are as'fairly entitled to protection as the manufacturing industries of: Eastern Canada ; therefore, we advocate that the duties ion lead ^and4ead^prodnctsgbeJncueased,,Sj^that_they^shall:be_asIhiKhas those now,, imposed by the United.States on the.same articles. That the output of -the -precious metal -mines is largely increasing,. therefore, we.favor the establishment of a mint, so .that the. specie in circulation shall be:that of our own.instead-pf that.of a foreign country.

From the position they take on every question affecting the welfare of tho city it really sisoms as if they had made up their minds that we shall always-remain as we are now. Let any individual or set of individuals propose anything :to-place us in the line of progress and we are met with the argument that somebody will close up his place of business or that the wrath of some corporation will be visited upon our poor,unfortunate isolated heads. Surely we have not yet reached the limit of pur growth; surely, our commerce is destined to expand yet a little more. We hope,, and certain men with money to invest seem to believe' that by open- up a new route they will add to their own wealth and increase the resources of the city. That the time will come when we shall receive the connection they propose to give us is beyond doubt; and the only question for tho ratepayers to consider is whetlieritwould be worth their-while to contribute something to hasten-tho consummation which we believe the great majority of them desire, and would be benefited by, while they yet live. At the meeting Saturday night Mr. Rodwell drew a very glowing picture of some of-the possibilities of the future for ' the commerce of the Pacific coast. In the light of the history, of tho last few years it was not. overdrawn. Now that the great nations have obtained a foothold in China we-may look for an unprecedented era. of expansioirand we should bo prepared to take full: advantage of .it. "We know that we have nothing -to thank the O..P. R*. for.- rZDhat* it discriminates against Victoria-.was - made clear by the intimation that its cars may be taken to any part of- the island where there fire rails laid except Victoria. That it is an. ������> -ndvantage to a place to have freight brought into it without breaking bulk is proved by the fact that loaded cars are delivered at every place along the Esquiraalt Si Nanaimo lino except Victoria. We do not think Victorians . should allow such a state of things to exist, aud we believe that at the first opportunity: they - have ' they will take effective-measures- to-put- an end to it. We-alUwant to :see . the.. C. P. N. Company flourish. It dias been a usefuMnstitutiou to" Victoria in the past and it will be-still more useful in the future. - There will be plenty of business for 'all even when �� competition becomes - much keener than it is at present, and; the' record of this pioneer* company proves that it will be more - than --able^to^hold^its^.owriTtagainsteallT comers. - Dressmaking. Degraded. A pessimistic '.'''Parisian'--; prophet has-declared:that the Atogue. of{the tailor-made gown has degraded the art of...dressmaking.until there is.no longer ambition enough left in .its high priests to inspire them to noble efforts. The great men of the^past, such, as Worth, Felix and the first Doucet, in the opinion of this discouraged observer, will find HO successors. For one of the conditions precedent to a successful tailor-made Is that it be the handiwork of a man, and usually of one who has had experience in making the clothes of his own sex. Earlier masters of the craft never had to impart the slightest suggestion of masculinity to the gowns they made. The writer attributes this state of affairs as muph to the moral influence of the tailor-made as to its present vogue all over the world. It is a cheaper kind of ..gown than well. dressed women ever wore before t and it has made -them economical in their expenditures. It can be worn almost any- . where outside of a ballroom, and tlie" majority of women have . be- poine indifferent as to the little proprieties of dress which they for* merly observed so carefully. Nowadays they; take thei r afternoon drive in a 'tailor-made, and in the -same attire pay formal calls. The elaborate costumes for afternoon wear have therefore disappeared almost entirely before the triumphant march of this new garment, which is crushing out by its utility all the graces and beauty of dress that used to interest women and 'TiHE^MKOF BRITISH COLUMBIA NELSON Is-now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U.

Duchesses and shop girls look alike nowadays to a degree they never did before, as the tailor-made cau be brought within the reaclrof almost any purse, whereas the gowns made by the. former masters in the profession could not. 'Its influence, declares: this French-writer, has reduced to half a dozen: the number of women in Paris who spend twenty thousand dollars a year on their dressing, and-;that is crime enough in the eyes of the great dressmakers to put the tailor- made under a ban forever. ��� ��� ALL .MODS SOLD 25 PER CENT CHEAPER THAN ANY OTHER HOUSE IN NELSON. Latest Up-to-Date Stock. Purchased Direct from the . Manufacturers. The Ogden Gateway. Salt Lako Tribune. From Omaha come the; usual rumors thnt the Oregon gateway is to be closed. The story has been repeated each month since July, IS97, but the business has been increasing to such a great extent that the ��� owners of the Oregon Short Line-have no doubt .seen for themselves the advantages of an -open gateway policy, advantages which would- be immediately lost if the gateway were closed. But taking it -for granted that the Omaha rumor has some truth-in.it this1 time; for sake of argument that there is some talk of the gateway being closed an excellent counter argument is a situation that has arisen in the last few months, The Burlington has -very recently completed an all-rail short. line ��� from, Denver to the Black Hills of Dakota ; also to Billings, Montana. At the Iatte��' point it has effected through freight arid passenger ��� service in connection'with tlie Northern Pacific for Butte, Helena, Spokane, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma, Alaska, Nome and the - Orient. Therefore, the Oregon Short Line is not the only northwest road which can be used by the middle routes. If- the Ogden gateway were closed today -the Burlington tomorrow could ;. offer at Denver direct connections for the Pacific Northwest. ���Its offer��� could and would be accepted by .the Santa Fe, Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Colorado <fc Southern, Denver <fe - Rio : Grande and Colorado Midland. This would throw the Coloradofreightandpassenger traffic ' between that state and the Pacific Northwest to the Burlington. Thousands of. passengers and tons of freight would be turned from Utah and the. Oregon Short Line, but the Union-Pabiflc would not be.the ���gainer ofcone passenger or one ton ��� of freight. .That is the new sit.ua-.

Magnificent Revenge. A few years ago, while Robert Stewart wa9 governor of Missouri, a steamboat man was brought in from the penitentiary as an applicant for a pardon. He was a large, powerful fellow, and, when the governor looked at him, ho seemed strangely affected. He scrutinized him long and closely. Finally, he signed the document that restored the prisoner to liberty. Before he handed it to him, he said: "Yon will commit some other crime and be in the penitentiary again, I fear.' The man solemnly promised that he would not. The governor looked doubtful, mused a few minutes aud said: ���'You will go back on the river and be a mate again, I suppose?" The man replied that he would. "Welly I want you to promise me one thing," resumed the governor. "I want you to pledge yonr word that when you are mate a'gain you will never take a billet of wood in your hand and drive a sick boy out of n; bunk to help you load your boat on a stormy night." The: steamboat man said he would not, and inquired what tho governor meant by asking him such a question. The governor replied: "Because,, some day, that boy may become a governor, and you may want him to pardon you for a crime. One , dark, stormy night, many years ago, you stopped your boat on the Mississippi river to take on a load of wood. There was a.boy on bonrd who was working his passage from New Orleans to St. Louis, but he was very sick of fever and was lying in a. bunk. You had plenty of men to do tho work,, but you ���went,to that boy witli a-stick of -wood in your hand-and drove -him with blows and curses outinto the wretched, night, and kept him toiling like a slave.until the load was completed, i ��� was.- that boy. 1 fere is your pardon. Never again be guilty of such brutality." The man, cowering,. and hiding his face, went out without a word. What a noble revenge that was, and what a lesson to a bully! Nelson Opera House THEM*C0Y...

HE CAVE, AWAY THE SNAP And Instruments Were Becovered. A drayload of band instruments was driven away from sheriff Tuck's office yesterday. The natural inference would be that the sheriff had prepared to celebrate a big Conservative victory, but this was not tho case. Tho horns and cornets were the result of a haul made under a writ of replevin, and thereby hangs an interesting story. -The fact that the trouble had arisen over the band instruments purchased bj' the old smelter band, used by tiie citizens' band last summer and then claimed by the re-or- gani/.ed smelter band is well known. The new smelter band retained Galliher & Wilson to secure the instruments for.them, the remaining members of the citizens' band having' declined to hand the outfit over. A-writ of replevy was secured and placed in the hands of -the sheriff, who executed the document, lie only succeeded in recovering, a couple of drums, some uniform caps aud music. Thebal- aiice of the outfit had disappeared and the sheriff could not locate them, so.lie made a report to this effect. The - instruments might never have been discovered had not one of themembers of the late citizens' band celebrated the Liberal victory ��� too.freely. In his enthusiasm he could not refrain from telling some acquaintances how. he had fooled the sheriff by burying the instruments beneath the floor in the old practice room where they would never be found. An inkling of this came to "the-ears of sheriff Tuck, who visited the band room yesterday morning with an axe, tore up a raised. portion of the floor and unearthed the whole outfit. Now the smelter band will commence regular practices. - - Takes Exception to a Report. Nelson, November 0th.���To the Editor of The: Tribune: I see by a report. in' .your paper that ��� the "Angerona" sunk at the city wharf fos.want;of someone to look after her.. I beg to. contradict that statement. She-was tied up about the end of last April, and do you suppose she remained there since and then 'sank, from no cause.' I am in a position "to state that the afternoon before she sunk she was in good condition and showed no signs of sinking.; The party who furnished you with the information that the water entered through the syphon holes, lays himself open_ to the supposition that he was the one who broke open. her engine-room (which was locked) and stole the wrenches -. and lanterns, as . ho evidently must have been aboard of her to: see where the water entered; I may state that the cause of her sinking is being inquired into;? as it is known that she did not sink from ordinary leakage. ��������� ��� C.

The company claims to desire the water for the purpose of furnishing power for a sampling and reduction works. The case of P. W. Medhurst has not licon disposed of as yet.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1900-11-10 |
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. |
