DAILY EDITION BY MAIL FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR WEEKLY EDITION BY MAIL TWO DOLLARS A YEAR NINTH YEAR THE TRIBUNE: NELSON B. C. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS THE NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL ACT EXTRAORDINARY POWERS CONFERRED ON TRUSTEES. Tho City Council Denied Representation ��� but Called upon to Provide Funds. A letter was yesterday received by city clerk Strachan from Mr. Smith Curtis, M. L. A., asking an expression of opinion from the city council oh the proposed new Public School Act, more particularly on .sub-section 2, section 7 and section 14. According to the former a person to be qualified to act as a school trustee must be the registered owner of property of the assessed value of $500 or more, over and above any registered incumbrance and a British subject. To this property qualification no particular objection appears to be raised. Section 14, however, repeals section 33 of the old act. The last named section provides tliat the board of school trustees shall ou or before the 1st day of February iii each year give an estimate of tlie expense of school maintenance for the current year, whieh shall be met by the city treasurer, but should this estimate provide for extensive additions, alterations or buildings, the city, council may refuse to sanction same, in which case a bylaw covering such proposed expenditure is to be submitted to the ratepayers for their approval. If the ratepayers approve, then it is the duty -of the city treasurer to provide'the funds. Section 14 of the new act practically takes the whole business��� except so far as the paying of the monies is concerned���out of the hands of the city council,; and would enable the-.board of;-school trustees,* with of "course the consent of the ratepayers, to undertake the building, altering or enlarging of schoolhouses. No-provision is made in the act to have the city council represented on the school board. To this there is a very strong objection on the part of the mayor aud aldermen, who contend that the city council who have to provide for the ' maintenance of the schools, should be represented on the school board. In view of the. fact that Nelson has, petitioned the government to be declared a separate school district and thus have control over the schools, such a provision as 'that -made in the new act would upset the'whole project. It is felt, that' the city council should have a voice in school matters, as such an arrangement would have a tendency ^tOLCiirtail^expenseS���without-inter-- fering with the efficiency of the establishment. This view of the matter will be presented to Smith Curtis on behalf of the corporation of Nelson. _ Disease of a Mild Type. Phoenix, Marcli 19.���[Special to Tlie Tribune.]���A disease diagnosed to be varioloid or a mild form of smallpox has broken out in the Granby bunkhouse, there being several cases. It is said to have been found first on a man named Pope, who came from Spokane about a month ago. Dr. R. AV. Jakes, provincial health officer for the.Boundary, has quarantined the building in .which the cases were first discovered and is doing everything possible to prevent its spread. There were about 160 men sleeping in the Granby bunk house. There is no varioloid whatever within the limits of the corporation of the city of Phoenix, the mine buildings being on the outside. The eity council is active, however, and with the,city health officer, Dr. Gordon, is' taking steps to prevent the. spread of the disease. The cases thus far are of the mildest type and it is not believed there will be any serious consequences. Alarm in St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, March 18.��� Alarm pervades, high circles here. The police . have notified house owners to have their dvorniks or house police report for duty and hold themselves in constant readiness. A sotnia, or company of Cossacks, passed the Moscow gate this morning on their way to Tsarskoeselo, 17 miles south of St. ^Petersburg, to which place the czar has just removed. The police said they would escort the czar back to tlie Winter Palace and' that he would return by carriage instead of by rail. It appears probable, however, that the Cossacks were merely sent to Tsarskoeselo as a precaution, since his majesty is more easily protected there than here. It is apparently confirmed that three students were killed yesterday. The Cossacks rode into the crowds ou the sidewalk and many faces were cut open by their knotted whips. Students and working men threw rubber shojes; canes and snow balls at the Cos^^fo^Jt is reported that one Cossa&f||^fe4 i ~. i*L*,/Vli**: ���E^K��*offia��!*"�� KANSAS CONVICTS AT BAY HOLD FIFTEEN GUARD3 AS HOSTAGES IN A MINE.

The presence of"*>forking men among the rioters rendered the demonstration more dangerous than any known in a generation. After reading the manifesto, the students threw their crumpled copies into the crowd aud raised a flag inscribed "For Liberty." The students also shouted "Help us get our rights," and the mob responded with cheers. The official Messenger, which published a report of the recent disorders in various Russian cities and of Sunday's outbreak in St. Petersburg, says of tho latter: "When tlie crowd numbering 3000 became turbulent the Cossacks and police were summoned. The demonstrators retreated to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Kasan, pelting the Cossacks and police with various missiles. The students attempted to display red and white flags, bearing various inscriptions, on one side of the cathedral and the crowd came into violent collision with the Cossacks aud police. A portion retired into the cathedral,' although services were going on, behaving noisily and smoking cigarettes until ejected. Altogether 330 male students, 377 women, mostly students, and 44 other persons were arrested. A police commissioner ,with 20 policemen, four Cossacks and- thirty-two rioters, male aud female,- were wounded. - The $3,000,000 Stock Issue.. Montreal, March _ 19;���The directors of the Dominion Iron and Steel Company met today and made an allotment of the issue of $3,000,- 000 sevenper cent cumulative preferred stock. The issue of 30,000 shares was subscribed for nearly three times. Holders of common stock who applied for preferred received one share for each five shares of common held by them. Applications up to twenty-five shares received the full amount asked for. The balance of 30,000 shares was allotted to' other applicants, twenty-five shares allowed to each. There were about 1500 applicants. Applications of American capitalists amounted to $3,000,- 000. __________ _:__Russia _Weakens.i London, March 20.���Dr. Morrison wiring to the Times from Pekin says: "Prince Ching received me ���today and confirmed the information as to Russia's modification of the Manchurian convention. The Chinese minister at St. Petersburg officially reports that Russia has agreed to eliminate the clause granting her exclusive privileges in Mongolia and Turkestan.and also to modify various other clauses objected to by China." Status-of Free State. Washington, March 19.���The status of the Transvaal or Orange Free State in the eye7of tlie government of the United States probably will be for the first time fixed when a consul-general shall be sent out to Pretoria to succeed Adalbert S. Hay, who has just returned to Washington on leave of absence, but without the purpose to go back to Pretoria. It is said that so far as known there has been absolutely no official declaration on that point- No Improvements. Montreal, March 19.���The city council today voted down the proposed loan of $300,000 for permanent improvements urgently required. Failure to secure the money will leave Montreal's streets in an awful condition next summer. Voting down of the loan, which required a two-thirds vote, was brought about by sectional jealousy. - . ' Seven GunnerB Killed. Bomhay, March 20.���Seven gunners were killed by the explosion of a Howitzer shell at Secunderabad, India, today. Leavenworth,' Kansas, March 19.���In th�� Kansas state penitentiary coal mine at Lansing 234 prisoners who went down into the mine on Monday morning "have mutinied and are holding fifteen guards as hostages. They refuse to let the guards come to the surface until warden Tomlinson. promises to give them better food: " They threaten to kill the guards, if their demands are not complied with. The mines are worked by the worst class of convicts and among those who have mutinied are twenty life prisoners. Warden Tomlinson has refused to grant their demands. Many complaints litiye been. made by the prisoners, because lof the grade of food furnished them, and to this dissatisfaction have been added allegations of mistreatment. No outbreak was attempted, however, until the men- who .had entered the miue refused to return until their demands should be granted. They killed othe mules used in the mines and are living on this meat. Serious trouble is apprehended if it shall bo found necessary to send deputies into the colliery.' There was great consternation this afternoon among the families of the guards who are held by the convicts. All the penitentiary shops have been closed and the convicts have been locked in their cells in order to have all the guards ready to handle the convicts should they attempt to rush from tlie mine. Tlie convicts have threatened to wreck the mines, but the threat- is laughed at' by warden Tomlinson, who says they would not attempt this, as such action would endanger their lives. He says he will starve them out. A communication was received from one of the guards to- day.'stating they were hungry and tired, but so far as he could learn all were alive. The first outbreak in the mine took place shortly after the noon meal yesterday and was started by the convicts in division No. 8./ Of the 19 men in this division 16 seized the guard and overpowered him and announced that they had decided to strike. They told the guard they had decided to mine two instead of three cars of coal as a day's work in future and that they proposed to have better food. This; guard was left in. charge ot two of the con-" =victs=in-the=mutiny while thexithers" marched to the " adjoining division, and called the convicts there to join the revolt. Convicts were soon marching through the mine from one division to another, swinging their lamps and picks. So far as can be learned no opposition pf any kind was offered to the convicts. The officers being unarmed were helpless and the life of anyone would have been forfeited had he tried to check the mad spirit of the convicts. Guard McShane," one of the 15 hostages, was hoisted to the surface tonight, the striking convicts permitting it because of his ill health. He reported that the prisoners have been careful to avoid any violent act. The other guards, he said, are in good condition and> ^JLU hold out as long as the jcgnVic'ts remain mutinous. An hour later a signal came from below and a convict not in sympathy with the strikers was pulled up. As the cages were half the distance from the bottom of the shaft the: prisoner was forced to climb four hundred feet, crawling up on the shaft timbers to reach the cages. The convict said the men in the mine had had nothing to eat since noon yesterday except some corn coffee whieh was made from' corn used to feed the mules in the mines. The mules, he said, will be eaten unless the strike is ended, soon. Late tonight another convict was hoisted to the surface to confer with the warden. Warden Tomlinson still says, he will force the convicts to (surrender unconditionally, much as he regrets starving his own officers. Leavenworth, March 19.���Tlie The No Popery Oath. London, March 19.���In the house of lords today, lord Salisbury referring, to the question raised by the "no popery oath" taken by the king, said he must regret very much that language of such iudecent violence had ever been placed in the king's anti-Roman Catholic oath, but if it was modified or repeated, a great many .people, perfectly sincere though not very wise, would say that such action meant supporting ,, transubstantiation. He proposed on behalf, of- the government that a committee be appointed to consider the declaration required for the sovereign ;bri' his accession and whether its language could be modified advantageously without diminishing its efficiency as security for the maintenance of. the Protestant succession. - The matter will be considered' Thursday.

Bishop Dontenwille, Who Discourses on. the Advan- - tages of -Education. Right Rev. bishop Dontenwille. yesterday morning dedicated the new convent chapel of the-Sisters of'St. Joseph of Peace. There was a large gathering - of--interested friends to -witness the ceremony, and his lordship gave a very practical .address on the benefits of education properly directed. t A little over twelve months ago, on February 5th, the - good sisters opened their convent school in Nelson and met with such a liberal patronage that no time was lost in securing a site for ��� a more commodious building. - On the 20th January last the present convent was opened, and since that date it has been educating on an average 100 children, 13 of whom are boarders. The capacity of the school rooms is : about 200 pupils, and forty boarders can . be accommodated. /A The "dedicatoTy^sefvices^wefe^o^have taken place some weeks ago, but owing to the illness of one of the sisters they were deferred. Yesterday was. St. Joseph's day, the patron saint of the order, and the occasion was availed of as a fitting one on which to dedicate the premises to the service of God. At the appointed hour the neat little chapel was well filled and the bishop, assisted by Rev. father Ferland, proceeded to bless the building with the usual ceremonials, the sisters and choir chanting the psalms. After episcopal mass his lordship briefly addressed those 'present, pointing out the educational facilities which such . institutions afforded. The work wasfa labor of love with the Sisters bf St. Joseph, and one which was ever earnestly and faithfully performed. The convent building was a credit to the city of Nelson, and a* monument to the energy and faith" df the people. He dwelt on the advantages of education properly directed, adding that to build up a nation-it was necessary that the heart should be impressed with righteousness as well as the head stocked with knowledge. Training the young in the paths whicli they should tread was a work of great importance, and in this particular the people of Nelson were fortunate in having such facilities for attaining this end. He appealed tb all present to aid the sisters in their good work and bespoke for the convent a long and useful career. His lordship will remain in Nelson for a week, during which time there will be some special services in: the church. Final vows will also be taken by a couple of the sisters during the bishop's stay. Berlin, March 19.���-During course of the debate today third reading of the budget reichstag, replying to prince marck's criticism of count Buelbw's recent speech that chancellor had insisted too much on Germany's interests in Manchuria, and that Germany's interest would have suffered even if -Kiao C'hou had not been leased, count von Buelow said Germany had the greatest interest in preventing friction between the powers now negotiating in China. Moreover, in eastern Asia Germany had many interests to safeguard. In Shan Tun province she had millions invested. Above all, Germany had to insist on adequate compensation being given for the murder of baron von Ketteler. That was.a question in which the honor of Germany was engaged and in which she had vital interest. In the course of his speech the chancellor said: "I have left no room for the slightest doubt that no German political interests exist in Manchuria, but at the same time I have stated it must naturally be our desire that China'must not too surely dimiuish ;"her capacity for satisfying the. just claims of the powers for compensation. . That is not misunderstood in any quarter.- Two hours- ago I received a de-' spatch from St. Petersburg, according to which count Lamsdorf, 'the' Russian minister bf foreign -affairs^ has expressed his satisfaction to the German-ambassador withvmy statements ih regard to the Chinese question." ; 'The chancellor gave figures illustrative of "the importance of the trade between Germany and east Asia, amounting to , 80,000,000 marks. A hundred million marks are invested in Shan Tung province. Germany therefore has the greatest interest in preventing the Chinese trade from becoming the booty of a single power or several powers without her participation. Count von Buelow also declared that the center of gravity of Germany's policy remained in Europe and that she had ho intention of allowing it to be' displaced while protecting her interests in Asia. Subsequently prince Bismarck declared he had been misunderstood. He really desired to assist Itlie^hahcelloE It was obvious that German honor must be vindicated. The chancellor jokingly thanked prince Bismarck for the way he had supported him in-his China measure. Later the house agreed to the proposal of the budget committee to include in the next budget a credit for 20,000 marks towards instituting chambers of commerce abroad, although baron von Dich- tholf, the foreign secretary, deprecated their institution, declaring that if the establishment of such chambers in America would be of any appreciable value Great Britain, would long siuco have established them. .

A Chinaman's Logic. Chicago, March 19. ��� Fu Ling Fang, Chinese minister to the United States, delivered "the convocation address of the University of Chicago at the students theatre this afternoon before the faculty of the institution and an audience that packed the theatre to the doors. Dr. Wu took for his subject "Chinese Civilization." His defence of the civilization of his native country in comparison with that of the civilization of the Occident was much applauded: ' : He said : "True it is that China's isolation has served to strengthen the nation's character,.and give it a marked individuality, but this has not been gained without great losses. The most. serious is that the nation has not been able to AN OFFICIAL OF THE CZAR STATES THE CASE. profit by the trials, experiences and achievements of the rest of the World. This is especially true with scientific knowledge, and mechanical inventions. It must be admitted that today China is centuries behind the age in her knowledge of chemistry, electricity, steam navigation, rapid transit and other arts and sciences. But does civilization consist of railroads, telegraphs, telephones, "electric lights, battleships, rapid fire guns, magazine rifles anda thousand and one things which are regarded as necessary for a progressive nation.

He also suggests conditions agreeable to him. The statement reviews3 the refusal of Mr. Scannel to match The Abbott against Boralma. Mr. Law- son says: "I will accept his proposition to race Boralma against either The' Abbott or'Lord Derby for the. sum of $250,000, although I think it is more than, any horse should race for, upon the following conditions: .

The report of the service for the last fiscal year, says the consul-general, shows a deficit of $401,001; 9G27 postoflices were in operation; 17S,299,500 letters were posted, and money orders aggregating $10,209,OOS were issued. The money orders showed an increase of $1,741,071 over JS99. The people of the province of* Ontario posted moro letters and postal cards than all the rest of Canada together. Longshoremen Strike.

Every tentative move to address" the Russian government on the subject of our pour parlers with China has been categorically declined. Russia is a great power and has no right to hold negotiations with any other government and no other power has a right to interfere. Soundings made in a friendly spirit have received" a friendly answer, but, plainly stated, Russia cannot receive inquiries regarding the above pour parlers." -The results thereof will doubtless be made known later. The informant of the correspondent of the Associated Press admitted that the power rebuffed was Great Britain. He was , not willing to discuss details respecting Mongolia or Turkestan, but he repeated that Russia abides by. the august declaration and desires to safeguard the railroad and - her thdusand-kilometer-long frontier. The informant of the correspondent ridiculed the talk of a militarv conflict at Tien Tsin. He said: " There is a misunderstanding about ' certain lands which the English authorities pretend belong to the ; railway com pa"ny."'Russia- has. ex> ~ ^pressed her willingness-to examine the question. If the claim of ownership before the Russian occupa- , tion is established that will end the discussion. If diplomacy is unable to settle the controversy,'Russia is willing to submit it to arbitration, perhaps to The Hague tribunal or to some other arbitrator. After England captures Dewet-, perhaps, she will have the courage for a military conflict in another quarter of the world. While he is promenading around the British forces it is hardly probable that England will seek trouble elsewhere. The Wheat Tariff. Montreal, March 19.���The Star's London cable says : "Muloek has ,been^conferring-=with-=the=colouial��� office and other departments. Ho leaves London on Thursday and expects to pay two or three visits on the continent on his way to Marseilles, where he will embark on the Himlays for Australia. Special interest attaches to Mulock's visit by reason of the expectation in certain quarters that the chancellor of tho exchequer may restore Sir Robert Peel's registration charges of one shilling per quarter on wheat and by exempting Canadian and other colonial wheat and make some imperial recognition of Canada's preferential tariff." A British minister of the crown when asked whether the chancellor was likely to take this step said: " Every British ministry is in superstitious dread of raising the revenue in any shape on wheat." Sir Charles Tupper returned to London Saturday after a visit to Germany. Vancouver Mass Meeting.

The Vancouver World says ' James J. Hill has nothing to gain by retarding mining in British Col- ambia, from whose mines he expects a considerable tonnage for his ���ail way system. Aside from the i doubtful policy of even placing it n the power of Mr. Hill to retard ���yhe growth of any industry in British Columbia, it may be pointed out ihat when he has perfected his cor- ucr on the coal fields of East.Kootenay, Mr. Hill's interests will lie in *,vhe direction of smelting every pound of Slocan galena in the United States. If Mr. Hill secures his railway charter and taps the coal fields of East Kootenay his railway interests, even aside from any understanding he may have with the United States smelter trust, will call for the moving of the coal and coke to American smelters, thus insuring his railways the entire haul, as against giving business to the Canadian Pacific railway in moving fuel to the British Columbia smelters. Then, again, the closing of the British Columbia smelters would make business for Mr. Hill's railways, since it would give him the moviug of the Slocan ores to United States smelters, as well as tho East Kootonay fuel, and also give the added business of moving the lead bullion from the United States smelters to the refineries. So loug as the Slocan" ores are treated in Canadian smelters Mr. Hill's railways get none of the fuel tonnage, none of the ore tonnage and none of the bullion tonnage; but if he can close the Canadian smelters he can get it all. This simple presentation of the case should satisfy any reasonable person, that upon tho basis of Mi-, Hill's interests, it is not altogether safe to entrust the future development of British Columbia to his keeping. Capta in Cm viz Phillips- Wolley has given his evidence before the Chinese and Japanese immigration commission. Put into a few words captain Wolley says he considers the presence of Chinese inimical to the health and general welfare of the white population, and from a labor standpoint he regards the Japanese as more dangerous than the Chinese, owing to their remarkable powers of application. Captain Wolley says he would favor exclusion of both races, but if the welfare of the empire would be involved in such a course he would be prepared to sacrifice British Columbia. "y.'

The only sale course for "the legislature to pursue is to defer action upon the charter until a royal commission can inquire into the effect the granting of such a charter would have upon the mining and smelting industry of the province,/ Mayor- Fletcher has transmitted to Messrs.

Companies backed by the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific railways are now asking the provincial legislature for charters granting exclusive rights to build a railway from Boundary tli rough the rich mining and agricultural districts wost to the coast. The final result as to which company will be successful is a matter of dollars. Tho Great Northern was able to carry a resolution at tho meeting of the Associated Boards of Trade which, if concurred in by a majority of the legislature, would make the whole mining region of southern British Columbia tributary to the Hill system. When this can be done with representative business men, a majority of whom aro British subject?, it is not unreasonable to presume that if the C. P. 11. really wants a charter that they will go to as great lengths in their endeavors to convince members of the legislature as the Great Northern Railway Company and the Crow's Nest Coal Company did with some of the delegates to the,.meeting, of ne Associated Boards of Trade. flew Spring Underwear Just Received from Factory our new up-to-date stock of HATS .

Slocan View of the Trick. Sandon Mining Review. Senator Cox, who is largely interested in the Crow's Nest Pass coal mines, must be a versatile genius. He urges a charter to the Hill railway to the coal fields, and ,then says the export of coal to the American smelters can be stopped by an export duty on coal���all of which shows he is more or less of a humbug as well as a man of versatility.

"city council upon the proposed amendments������ to the Public School Act. The communication recites that in the opinion of the council section 14, which deals with the expenditures of the school board, should be amended so as to give the city council representation on the school board-or control of the board's expenditures. Section 7, which deals with a property qualification for school trustees, is unanimously approved. : Au amendment is suggested to section 6, which would provide for a new election of the whole board.

Nelson is particularly interested in-this phase of the school bill, since unless some amendment is secured the city will not only be-asked to shoulder the present school maintenance expenditures, but also to meet an initial expenditure of $15,000 for necessary schoql buildings. ���*m*W**#****t&t***f&**X: We are offering'at lowest prices the best grades ol Ceylon, India, China and Japan Teas.

On a grassy hillside, four miles from the busy, mill-buzzing town of Ware, in the western pai"fc of the state of Massachusetts, an army of one hundred thousand frogs will next season be. croaking. And all this to satisfy tlie demands of college laboratories and to find delectable dishes for the palate-weary, mayhap.- One hundred thousand frogs in one town has caused the" inhabitants to protest. Mr. Merrill, who is starting the frog farm, makes this statement about it: "I don't see why the people of this town make so decided a stand against .the project," said he, "for the farm will be located several miles from the town, and surely the singing of the frogs will not be audible to them." Mr. Merrill was the only one who . referred to the music of the frogs as singing. "The origin of this frog raising," he says; "dates back a good many years, for there are already two frog farms, ��as they are called, which are recognized as successful business ventures. One of these is being operated in California and the other in Florida ' "There is a great difference, liow; ever, betvveeu this methods employed lriftiiesotwo farms and the way in which we expect to raise frogs. One has very little notion of the vast numbers of frogs which are annually used in this way," said he, "for"the prevailing idea is that the only market for frogs is the =tableW=Harvard=colIegie=jalon^lVsel, annually ten thousand of these little animals for dissecting purposes, and other institutions, of learning throughout the country use proportionate numbers. Great difficulty has been experienced by those who secure the frogs in getting them, and for the past three years the Harvard frogs have all come from South Carolina.' It seems to me that a frog farm, "a place where frogs could be bred, would be a paying investment in this part of the country, for the average price paid per frog is ten cents. - " The frog-raising business is as yet in a very rudimentary state. All that .4$ known about ffogs is that they'iiVe in water and mud, and it stands to reason that if .the eggs of a frog are placed in stagnant water, which is filled with crustacea and the lower, forms of animal life for food, the frogs will hatch and a proportion of them live. Now, one of the main obstacles which confronts us is that it is in the winter that the frogs are most wanted by the colleges for scientific purposes. The frog hibernates in the mud, far below the point which is reached by frost, and when winter really sets in Mr. Frog is in a, natural stronghold, from which it. would require - great labor to remove him. .For that reason we avoided swampy land for I the site of our farm, for in winter this would freeze tight,, and al- ] though most people would imagine, that a swamp was just the place to I raise these animals in, we consider [ifc the worst possible. "These frogs we will place in a tank especially prepared* for their SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rate three per cent. ��� GRANGE V. HOLT, Manager Nelson Branch. reception, as soon as they are brought to the farm, and here they will hibernate wheu winter comes. Tlie mud at the bottom of the tank will not freeze, owing to the fact that the water will be kept deep enough so that it will not freeze solid. This will eliminate all the labor which would be necessary if we were to plant the frogs in the marsh. When we receive an order for some frogs the water will be drained from the tank, leaving the muddy bottom exposed to view. Blocks of mud will be dug up and- taken to the 'thawing-room,' a well heated chamber in the house which we are erecting on the farm, 'and left to grow warm. / '���When the heat reaches the frogs themselves they will soon come out from the mud, and after tliey have been well washed and crated, they will be in excellent condition to ship to their destination. Of course, we expect to injure, perhaps kill, a great many of the animals in digging them out of the mud, but in that event we can sell the legs to hotels and markets, so that the actuaMoss will be small. I always thought the song of' a. frog was musical and soothing. I am going to live among a whole cohort of them, and I have never given the noise question any serious thought.; I will guarantee to sleep through all their singing. A great deal of interest has been attracted by the newspaper notices whicli told of the undertaking, and I have received a great many communications from all parts of the country requesting that I lay out my plans."

Already there is a cloud hovering, over the wedding of queen Wilhelmina to prince Henry���not any domestic difficulty, of course, but "Heintje," as the Dutch call him, is very unpopular. - Prince Henry does not receive one penny from the Dutch civil list. He is, therefore, a gratis consort, general' and admiral. But as he sacrificed a career in marrying and staying in the Netherlands, the queen can afford to support him���and she does. Yet the Dutch grumble, although the consort costs them nothing. On the whole the prince is not a bad .fellow, either. He is about twenty-- |four years of age, has light golden' 'hair and his complexion shows that he is not afraid to go but in all kinds of weather. Though he is homely and his manner is ungraceful, he looks honest.. He has a will of his own, but he will have little use'for it in his present position. He has a itork^dj^it^y^air.^and^ "asTtlie Dutch people hate the very look of drill', thi9;is against him. They have nicknamed him "Jagei','.': -which means-a hunter, and also a:hotel errand boy:���Other nicknames, are - "Coachman"* 'and "Englishman;" Tlie principal reason, for his unpopularity is"- said to be jealousy. As hard-working people are inclined to be jealous of the penniless husbands of great heiresses,-so the Dutch are jealous of their queen's mate. They adored her, and thought she belonged to them alone, until this man robbed them of her-affections,1 as they look at the matter. A few* days after his arrival at The Hague Heintje dismissed a few'of the queen's most trusted servants. Her people were disappointed because she did not defend them. ..He came very near dismissing an old coachman who had driven the queen ever since she was a baby.* Another charge against him is that he shot at Loo, a tame pet deer of the young queen. That's how he got the name of "Jager," no doubt unjustly. The Dutch say that he imperiled the queen's life by compelling her to sit on the box seat of' a mail coach and driving her through the city with four fiery, untrained horses. The coach was wedged in an alley aud ifc took a number of men to pull it out backward. The Dutch would not forgive Heintje for exposing the life of their beloved queen in this manner. From this drive originated the nicknames "Coachman" and "Englishman," A Soldier's Indian Ward. Little Zintka Lanuni, the little Unc-Papas Sioux waif found by the A Costly Wager. Had James Buchanan Fleshman of Philadelphia lost a bet which he made some months ago with Samuel P. Iluhn he would have been $2,212 richer than he is today. True, he won a $1000 election bet, but by the terms of the wager he gave a dinner last week at the Hotel Flanders that cost him, says the Philadelphia Press, $3,112. Said Mr. Huhn- five months ago: "One thousand dollars that Quay will be defeated for the senatorship. Has any one the nerve to meet it?" "I don't know, sail," said Mr. Flesh- man, a southerner, "if I have the nerve, but, sab, I have the thousand." The bet was made, the winner to give a dinner. The champagne, cigar and cigarette items alone cost $1080. A Cuban Treasurer.

They report satisfactory progress with the mill now being put up. The stone crossing at the south side of Baker street at AVard street having been completed work was yesterday started on the north side crossing. ' The window awnings on several stores along Baker street were let down for the first time this century yesterday. They gave the thoroughfare quite'R summer appearance. Jake Sisson, who has been in the ,geueral hospital for the past couple of weeks, is about again. He had an operation performed while in the institution, the second of recent date. Collector MeLeod started out with his receipt books yesterday morning and succeeded in -doing a good day's business. He has all the city rates and a good deal of arrears to gather in. Street rumor has ifc that a prominent" member of the Canadian Pacific railway's Kootenay staff is considering an offer to enter the employ of one of the United States railway systems. There are several Nelson meii over in the Boundary country just now and their friends are fearing the rigors of the quarantine. Not a few of the number left for brief business trips to Phoenix within the past few days. One of the cars on a freight train from Procter got off the "track just within the city limits yesterday morning. Conductor Cleary was in charge and the replacer was quickly put in operation and the car again got on the-rails. H. F. Macleod, registrar or the Kootenay district, received notice from the deputy attorney general yesterday of the appointment of J. H. Nolan as chief clork in the Nelson registry oflice. C. D. Jarvis will also be employed- temporarily as a clerk. The curling stones and other properties of the Nelson Curling Club have been removed from the rink and stored for safe keepiug-until next season. ''There will be a meeting of the club some evening this week to wind up the business of the season, when the secretary-treasurer will have the privilege of reporting a very satisfactory balance sheet. Robert Seaton, who sustained a serious accident while working at the Molly Gibson mine oh the 16th November last and who has since been in the general hospital, was discharged yesterday and leaves this morning for Seattle. Seaton is on crutches and will probably not be able to do without them for some weeks to come. A meeting of the Nelsou branch of the Mine-owners' Association was heldyesterday-for-the -purpose - of- considering the resolution passed by the city council on Monday evening, which recited that before granting the Hill railway charter the provincial legislature should appoint a royal commission to inquire into the effect of such action. The meeting was attended by a couple of mine owners, a few who hope to become mine owners, and a few who somo time since were em-, ployed by mine owners, but tho result of their deliberations was not made public. Flour Mill for Nelson. A meeting of the board of public works is called for Friday, when seveViit" petitions for public improvements will "be considered. Among other matters to come before the bdkfd is" au application on tlie part of a Regina miller for a mill site and Water rights on the flat below the city electric power house.' If these concessions be made the gentleman in question undertakes to put up a 200-barrel mill this summer, and to operate the same continuously. Ifc is claimed for the ^project that the water at present running to waste from the dam will be sufficient to run a mill, and that with flour ground in Nelson the price of this commodity would be considerably reduced���at least $1 per hundredweight. The freight on grain from the wheat growing districts of the Northwest to the mills at the Lake of the Woods would not-be less than that which would land it here in Nelson. If this be so, the manufacture of flour iu Nelson ought to materially reduce the price to con- i j sinners. 1 Smelter Trouble the Cause. With reference to the shutting down of the Highland mine at Ainsworth the management of tlie company assign as their sole reason that with prevailing prices for silver and the existing smelter charges they could not run at a profit. Mr. Laing Stocks said yesterday that everything at the mino was in good shape and that it never looked better. The mill was running smoothly and treating 100 tons per day, and with an addition of two moro jigs and two extra whifllers its capacity would bo doubled. Two months ago when the property was taken over, the outlook was most encouraging, but the fall in the market and' the smelter difficulties had altered the conditions completely. There is enough' ore, on the dump to keep the mill going for a couple of months yet, after which time, unless conditions alter materially, operations will be entirely suspended. Mr. Stocks declares that with a refinery in this country conditions would be completely changed and many mines afc present closed down would be running at full blast. He added that it was probable his company might be obliged to send its ore to Swansea for treatment, as they could have it handled cheaper in the old country after paying freight charges, etc. "The Highlander has been run most economically" said Mr. Stocks1 to a Trihune reporter. "Five men have been handling 100 tons of ore daily ���tramming, milliug aud everything for shipping. We have only one man at the tram. The machinery is all of tho best up-to-date and if under such favorable conditions we cannot work afc a profit, there is no course open but to close down." About forty men have been laid of.. A LIVELY SMALLPOX SCARE ^ELsonsr KASLO s-A.isr3DOJsr Of Short Duration.' A weary traveler over the Crow's Nest line arrived at the Hume hotel yesterday afternoon and having duly registered repaired to his room. He looked a sick, man, and thinking a diagnosis ..of hjis case might not hurt the gentleman or the reputation of tho house for caution in accepting guests^, coming from an infected area,.a. doctor was summoned. Dr. Symonds promptly responded. He saw the traveler, a Frenchman, and had a talk with him, the result'of which was that the case was. pronounced one of fatigue and. rest was the simple remedy prescribed. The hotel corridor was a busy spot at the time and the tables in the billiard room we're having the balls rattled over them in the presence of a large number of interested spectators. All saw or heard of the visit of the doctor and of the sick mau. Just then Dr. LaBau, the medical sani- tarV officer, put in an appearance and requested to see the new arrival^ Immediately there were whispdrs of smallpox and quarantine Guests_about^_to._leave_the_ house promptly seized their baggage and made a hasty retreat; all interested in billiards and pool promptly ceased and the room was cleared; the office was quickly left; without one of the many who a moment before ' were deeply engrossed in the newspapers and conversation, and the Hume hotel generally presented a very unbusinesslike appearance. All had cleared out in anticipation of quarantine proceedings. However the uneasiness on this point ' was soon dissipated���the new arrival was pronounced to be free from contagious disease. But ifc took a couple of hours to appease the agitation which the'"'incident occasioned. When the old-patrons of the house returned to their rendezvous, they of course avowed the greatest contempt for the" man who would be easily scared: The Nelson Quoit Club..... The first general meeting of the Reason of the Nelson Quoit Club was held last night. There was ,a good attendance of. members' and. considerable enthusiasm was manifested. The providing;' 6f suitable grounds for practice was discussed and several suitable sites suggested, a committee being appointed to report. It was decided to hold the first match of the year on Good Friday, the contestants to be teams to be selected by the president and vice-president, who will captain them. respectively. The season's ��� work js started under very favorable auspices. Persons wishing to join can do so- by paying an entrance fee of $1 and handing in. their names to J. H. Wallace the president, or G. Nunn, secretary. i STOVES! STOVES! STOVES! HEATING STOVES, COOKING STOVES, AND STEEL RANGES " "B6?

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-03-20 |
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. |
