Mineral Production of British Columbia in 1900 $16,407,645 O-.L Mineral Production of Kootenay Iq 1900 i^$10,562,032 NINTH YEAR NELSON, B. C, MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 15, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS BRITAIN EXPECTED TO YIELD WILL AMEND CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY AS DESIRED. There Is No Difference Between Britain and Germany Over the Manchuria Convention. New York, April 14.—In a despatch dated London, I. N. Ford, correspondent of the New York Tribune, says: "The Washington reports that the state department intends to revive negotiations for a revision of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty are not discussed by the London press. Nothing is known about the matter at the American embassy, and there is no official at the foreign office who is authorized to discuss the subject. There are - at least two facts that can be stated with confidence. First.—That the foreign office before, the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was negotiated, was anxious to make concessions which would be accepted by the senate and that the convention was supposed to embody what the American government wanted: and what the senate would sanction. Second.—That lord Lansdowne was supported by the cabinet without dissent, and while the convention in its original form had been negotiated in a spirit of neighborly accomodation and good will, there was not the slightest disposition on the part of any member of the government to discuss the alteration made by the senate. The inference which may be drawn from, these facts is that the foreign office will take up the subject again in a friendly spirit, ^whenever it can be assured that the leaders of the seriate arid the state department are in agreement • respecting -the . <form q,od nature,of the -concession "desired;by' the' United' States -.for, the purpose of facilitating construction of the -.canal.-.*.--' There is no. ground for the belief that the foreign oflice here and in Berlin have been estranged by differences of interpretation respecting the bearings of the Anglo-German agreement upon the Manchurian convention. If the Nankin viceroy has received from the British government, as reported, an appreciative letter respecting liis opposition to the Manchurian convention, it has been because it was considered expedient to compliment him, and not because there has been any difference of views with Germany. An experienced diplomat has told me that, while England and other powers are under obliga-c tions to the patriotic viceroys for saving the situation, it is dangerous to offer them ostentatious sup- ^portT^Foreignei's-were-not^popular" in China before the Boxer rising. They are even more obnoxious after the temples have been looted and when indemnity claims are pressed by garrisons in occupation of the capita], The viceroys who have thwarted the intrigues of Russia will be embarrassed and discredited if they are thanked or patronized by European powers. Colonel Harry McCalmont, popular alike among turfmen, yachtsmen and members of parliament, arrived in London from South Africa, where he has been serving with the Warwickshire militia. He will be warmly welcomed at Newmarket and in many London clubs. The fact that 1500 British soldiers have been besieged over three months without anybody's knowing anything about it is striking proof of the utter inadequacy of the news service in South Africa.^ ■ The King Is Politic. London, April 14.—The king's toleration in making a .. new precedence for a special audience for a Roman Catholic delegation, has tended to deaden agitation for the revision of the coronation oath. It is not improbable that the Roman Catholic cathedral at Westminster may be finished in time for the consecration in coronation year, although an immense amount of difficult work in the ornamentation of the interior will be required. Can't Disturb the Old Man. London, April 14.—Legal obstacles will undoubtedly prevent the exhumation of the body of sir Francis Cook, despite the desire of Jady Cook to resort to that method of disposing of rumors against herself. While the.home secretary has not officially refused her request, he has intimated that there must be more than rumor on which to grant a permit for the exhumation of the body in face of< .the evidence of physicians and others of sir Francis' natural 'demise. In view of the rumorsLthat lady. Cook, -owing to alleged occurrences there, was unwilling to visit her former home at $i£h\uond,' she has decided to The Nelson BIX-i jmpany. Twelve new new recruits have been enrolled in the Nelson Rifle Company anil the prospects of a good season's tv ork are bright. The company; hasj-always enjoyed a dis-' tinguished reputation for efficiency, arid it is; the desire of local militiamen that this shall be maintained. Many of the older members joined the regular forces by volunteering for active service in South Africa, which reduced the establishment to less than twenty active . members, but withfthe recent additions and the prospects of more to follow, it is expected: that the full strengths of forty-fiyie rank and file will soon be attained. The rifle ranges are to be put in order at once and regular practice resumed. Nothiug definite is yet known as to when the Jong-promised drill-shed is to be started. , '__ 3 The-Highlander at Work, Work has been resumed at the Highlanderinihe Ainsworth camp, after a shutdown of some months. Last year the property-was thoroughly prospected by means of the diamond drill} so that the management know exactly what there is in the mine and where to find it. After boring in several places" and taking samples and notes of the Avork, Maxwell Stevenson went east with his data, and has just returned with the news that his principals are fully satisfied with the showing, and have given instructions that development, be proceeded, with on a very liberal rscale., ^Tliereiis. much- to" warrant ;the belief that the property will turn out agreat ( one and give an impetusto mining in this old camp. Not as Reported in The Tribune. The family of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Hodge is not as reported in The Tribune of Saturday. They have eight children and have been married twelve years. Of ■ the eight four are twins, the flrst being born in July, 1898, and the second in April, 1900. This is a record that Mr. and Mrs. Hodge need not be ashamed of, but it is not as good a one as is that of Mr. and Mrs. John Hamblin, foreman of the bookbinding department of The Tribune. Mr. and Mrs. Hamblin have been married three years, and they have three children, two of the three being twins. Rather Expensive Fumigation. ===DrsrHalI=andi Rose are~suing^the~~ city for $365 to recoup them for damage done in the fumigation of their offices in the K.-W.-C. block. A smallpox, patient in the early stages of the disease, paid the doctors a visit and the, case was immediately reported to the medical health officer. The sufferer was taken to the pest house and the doctors' offices thoroughly fumi-. gated with sulphur. The fumes in: jured the furnishings of "the rooms, and the surgical instruments to the extent claimed, hence the action. Still in Quarantine. Hugh McDermott, foreman at the Nelson Saw «fc Planing Mills is still quarantined at Bonner's Ferry. He was on a business trip, and as he is said to have passed through certain districts where smallpox exists, the health officer at the ferry quarantined Hugh for the safety of the public. The five ■ Nelson men at Cranbrook who are held as suspects in the Cosmopolitan hotel are reported to be enjoying themselves well under the circumstances. They are daily in receipt of telegrams from their Nelson friends offering condolences. The Latest Fish Storv Told. The Miner yesterday morning had a fish story. It told of a scarcity of fish at the Junction, and a certain bundle of netting which a local mau is said to have discovered in a Toronto establishment recently, labelled "Nelson* B: Ci" According to the Miner this netting is intended for use in the pools at the Junction. But the fact is that the netting in question was ordered by the Nelsou Tennis Club, to be. used in their j courts. 1 STEYN ADVISES SURRENDER HEALTH OF* EX-PRESIDENT HAS BROKEN DOWN. Report Comes From Paris That an Attempt Was Made to Stab Paul Kruger. Bloemfontein, April 14—It is reported that the health of former president Steyn, of the Orange Free State has broken down. It is also said * that he has advised all the Boers on commando to surrender immediately. Paris, Apiil 15.—L'Estafette publishes a report that an attempt was made to stab'Mr. Kruger. Capetown, April 14.—There is no increase in the progress of the bubonic plague here, although there is an average of five cases daily. Since the outbreak 393 cases .have been 'officially reported, of which 152 have proved fatal. Paris'," April 14.—"Among the Boer prisoners who recently arrived in Lisbon, from Lorenzo Marquez," says a special dispatch from the Portuguese capital, "was a young American by the name of Randolph Martinson, who described himself as the son of the president of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad. He was captured by the .British.'but-;: released as an American on promising not to fight again. -Subsequently he was arrested in Lorenzo Marquez at the request of the British authorities under suspicion of being a Boer agent. Mr. Martinson, on being brought here secured his release through the American charge d'affaires, and his father sent' money to pay his passage home., According to his representations, he was aide de camp to colonel John Blake, commander of the Irish brigade." London, April 14.—A dispatch to the Daily Mail, from Lorenzo Marquez, said that a Mr. Martinson, who was said to have resigned a post in the United States army to join the Boer forces, had beenx, sloped for Lisbon ou the Portsmouth transport Zaiere, which carried 103 Boer families, after; he had made an ineffectual attempt to obtain consular protection. The Census Commissioners. There wjas,a meetings of the census commissioners in Nelson ion Saturday, at which the work- now in progress" was discussed. From every section the enumeration was reported as going on satisfactorily. In East Kootenay one of the enumerators is quarantined as a smallpox suspect, which somewhat upsets the program of the commissioner for that division. Among other—matters—discussed at the meeting was the financing of the job. That circumlocution so characteristic of goyernment officialdom has delayed the arrival of cash, and in several instances the commissioners have had to advance money to their enumerators. Expenses are heavy, and it was unanimously decreed a grievance that* those responsible for the work should have „to pay put „of their own pockets sums which the government should have provided. Mining Records: The following are the ■ mining transactions recorded on Saturday: In consideration of $2500- Frank Lassey transfers to W. H. Hutchinson a half interest in the Flying Dutchriiany^a half; interest in the Phoebus, a quarter in Pilot Knob, a third in* Mars, a third in the Independence, two-fifths in the Venus, a third interest in the Boston, two- fifths in the Sphinx, three-fifths in the Keystone and Sunny Sun, and a full interest in the Venus Fraction, on Hall creek. W. S. Doyle transfers to R; A. SHutchinson his interest " in the Borinier mineral claim on Hall creek. Certificates of work were granted to Andrew Bostard on the Lawton, and to William McDonald on the Johannesburg and Transvaal. An affidavit was filed in the case of the Rover mineral claini advertising a defaulting partner. Building at the Hume Addition. Work was begun on Saturday on a two-story brick building on the site which for years supported the big board sign announcing "Lots ■ for Sale iu the Hume Addition." The building will be barely outside 1 the city limits, and will be but another of the large ones run up in this district of late. < If that old sign-bo»rd could but speak it would tell an interesting tale of the growth of Nelson. For years it stood almost alone, to be looked at by the teamsters as they drove to arid from the old Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway depot, or to be 'used as a scratching post by the Browsing cattle from the neighboring ranch. It did service as a sort of mile-post between Nelson and Bogustown, and stood the storm' well. Only once was it known to be blown down, and on that occasion it was promptly* put, in position. Of late, however, buildings have sprung up all around, no longer do freighters ply to the depot, and an electric car flies'past what used to be i a desolate and uninviting spot. '•- ' • PREACHERS ARE APPALLED WITH THE SOCIAL CONDITION OF NEW YORK. Fashionables Are More Interested in Jack-Pots Than They Are iri the Collection Plates, New York, April 14.—Too much gambling in society, and too few children, are the twin' evils that are attracting the attention of the pastors of fashionable New York congregations, says the 'Evening World today. - Many of these ministers are recent' additions to the religious and fashionable life of New York, and they declare that the conditions that they have encountered here appal them. The ministers have been counselling with each other, exchanging .confidences and experiences, and trying i to devise means of correcting the conditions' which they say prevail. They have'not decided what they will do, but they will not begin any public crusade, and they will not refer to the subjects in sermons. When a score of ministers who care for flocks that live up and down Madison, Fifth West End and Amsterdam avenues, began to talk over the subject confidentially they found that all had the same story to tell. Gambling among the members of their flocks was entirely too common/and the play_ wasr often for extra high stakes. s Many instances were told showing howl young men had lost much larger sums than they could afford, and had often been compelled to borrow small sums for railroad . fares I or temporary expense frorh their hosts. One of the ministers who attended the conference says: "It is my personal opinion that a igood- deal of tlreTnoney'pTifon the plates~insuch- liberal amounts on Easter Sunday came easy at the gaming table,; or if it did not, these.large gifts were made iu many instances. as balms to supposed guilty consciences. It is a very easy form of imaginary self denial! this giving of:money by people who have plenty, instead of personal service and to atone for dissipation. I am no longer young, and have seen conditions iu many cities, but I never" imagined conditions existing anywhere so bad as were described at our informal talk, and men who told what they knew beyond doubt to be true." A Call From Cranbrook. Rev. Havelock Beachman, B. ' A. of Winnipeg, is a guest, at.' Mrs. W. J A. McLean's, Victoria street. The reverend gentleman.has been acting as lociim teners iri the ■ Episcopal church at Trail, during the past four months arid is on his. way ' to Cranbrook, where he has accepted a permanent appointment. ; Before leaving Trail Mr. Beachman was presented with a well-filled purse by his congregation, and a beautiful set.of silver communion vessels by the young men of the church. ; The Nelson Gun Club. The weekly shoot of the: Nelson Gun Club on Saturday resulted in a score of 17 for Clarence Goepel, 12 for Pete Nelson and 11 each for Soren Nelson aud George Tierney. Each man had 25 birds,- but there was a fairly stiff breeze blowing which interfered with the sport. Several sweepstakes were decided after good shooting. Among the new members to put in an appearance were T. M. Ward and Fred Elliot. ANXIETY OVER THE BUDGET IT MAY CREATE AND DESTROY COLOSSAL FORTUNES. ' The Chancellor of the. Exchequer and Joseph Chamberlain 'Running Neck and Neck for First Place. London, April 14.—The London correspondent of the Tiibunei I. N. Ford, cables the following: The chancellor of the exchequer' had made no sign, and the country does not know whether sugar will be taxed or corn laws imposed, or a few simple l sums' in addition be worked out in the taxation of; in- comes, tea, tobacco and spirits. ■ It may be a commonplace budget, with feeble ''expedients- for widening the area of' taxation, or it may be the most important budget'since, the corn laws were repealed. In any event the political effect of the budget speech must be consider-, able. There ' will be a" revival of Liberalism if imported food be taxed, whether sugar or corn," and there will be demoralization on the government side if the chancellorr of the exchequer continues ' to finance the Avar feebly, and fails to readjust the burdens of direct or indirect taxation. There are also personal elements in the political equation. The present cabinet has nominally been directed by'lord Salisbury, but Mr. Chamberlain .will be the strongest force in regula'tirig its policies. '■ 'Sii; Michael Hicks Beach has ,been? the only member of the cabinet capable of offering resistance to the will of Mr. Chamberlain. Treasury. has been the stronghold of old toryi'sm, where the secretary for the colonies- could not exert the pressure} of superior political [capacity. ' 'Sir Michael Hicks • Beacht ,+and : Mr: Chamberlain have been anti-pathetic ever since the present government was formed, and( their divergencies of opinion have widened during recent months, while they have remained colleagues with lord Salisbury as prime minister. It is doubtful if, they can work together when the arniability of Mr. Balfour ib transferred to the upper house; Mr. Chamberlain cannot lead the commons if sir Michael Hicks-Beach remains at the head of the treasury. His .budget speech will be a decisive proof of the chancellor's capacity or incapacity,as a ^financier, and will ,have a direct bearing upon the political fortunes of Mr. Chamberlain. If it exhausts the patience of the country, the ascendancy of the masterful will of Mr. Chamberlain will be complete, and the way, will be opened for his leadership of the commons, and _for the revision_of_the tariff-system in the early future on the lines of imperialism in the business relations of the mother country and the colonies. There will be a feeling of relief when parliament reassembles for the budget speech. Budget gambling, based on rumored changes in the tariff, has become a source of serious disturbances. Tea, tobacco, and spirits have been taken out of bond in immense quantities to forestall increased taxation, and enough sugar for 18 months' supply has been dumped into England from Hamburg, Boulogne, Antwerp, aud Rotterdam. Unless the sugar duties can be made retroactive, the treasury will draw little revenue from this source during the next fiscal year, and if the chancellor declines to levy them, the speculative movement of the importers may involve some business failures. The grocery, ■•'• confectionery, and allied trades, have been holding meetings to protest against the taxation of sugar, and to advocate the inalienable right of the British workingman to have cheap marmalade aud jam on his breakfast table. Income tax-payers can only stand and wait, when they have no resource for agitating against their crushing weight of direct taxation. The budget speech will be the signal for a reaction against the prevailing dullness. Already there has been a revival of social activity, for an unusual number of west end weddings have brought fashionable idlers back to London. ■< ' A New Five-inch Gun. New York, April 14.—Remarkable results have been attained with the latest model five-inch gun, the testing of which is in. progress j at' the Indian Head proving grounds, 'according to dispatches from Washington. ..Rear admiral O'Neill, chief of ordnance, tias been informed by lieutenant Strauss, in charge of the proving grourids, that the gun had developed a .maximum velocity of 3330 feet a second,... with less than 17 tons pressure. This velocity was given to a 50-pound projectile. The great superiority of'the new weapon over the five-inch gun on the Kearsarge will be understood when it is known that, the maximum velocity attained with a 50- pound projectile fired by the latter is 2050 feet per second. With a 00- pound shell, a velocity of 2990 feet a second has been attained with the latest' model. --The muzzle energy obtained was 3724 foot,tons. In the recent trials with the 50-pound _projee.tiIe^a,.-muzzle energy of 3918 foot_ tons was obtained. Rear admiral O'Neil has determined to use tlie 00:pouud projectile. More Than China' Can Pay. , Washington, April 14.—The last advices to the state department from Mr.( Rockhill contain further details respecting the amount of the indemnities claimed from China by, the powers. It appears that' these claims have been much exaggerated in some statements, although the sum total is still farin excess of the amount of] money it is believed here that .China can raise. It is the belief, of the state department that the total claims should not be allowed to exceed $150,000,000 or $200,000^000. According to information received liere the British claim, so far" 'as, formulated, is resonable iu amount' as compared "with other'. claims. ' In' fact theTJriited States /and Japan represent, in these negotiations, the moderate element whose desire js to,, prevent 'the imposition! of ^charges that-shall destroy the Chinese government and result in the division of the empire.".' , - * . " ", Death Before Blindness., New York, April.14.—A,World's special 'from < St.' 'Petersburg, says:' 'A sensational 'tragedy has .caused intense excitement here. Captain Hecker of the Imperial Guards suspected professor Herman Dohuberg, the famous oculist, of attentions to his wife. Ilecker called on Dohuberg, accused him and gave him the option of blinding himself for life or being shot Dohnberg chose death and Ilecker killed him on the spot". Hecker's punishment probably will be light. The czar has a«ked for a special report on the whole circumstances. The Bill1 Against China. Berlin, April 14.—The correspondent • of the Associated Press hears tonight from an authoritative source that the Chinese indemnities for war expenses, exclusive of claims of private individuals and missions, have been fixed as follows: . Russia, 300,000,000 marks lab"out_$00,000,000;;"_FnmceT"200rr 000,000 (about t $05,000,000); Germany, 210,000,000 marks (about $00,000,000); , England, 90,000,000 marks (about if22,00.0,000). .France will also present claims for the.in- demnity. of the Italian mission. An American Jockey, Won. Cologne, April 15.—In the races here today the spring' handicap was won by C. Beit's chestnut filly Ordennan/., with Hehnorage second, and Easter Monday third. The winner was ridden by J. H. (Steets) Martin, the American jockey. Lester Reiff, ou Wyvern, ..was fourth, and Johnny Reiff, on Mara- brino, was sixth. Their riding with the short stirrups made a sensation. . Decay in Westminster Abbey. London,' April 14.—Some alarm has been caused by the fall of au IS foot pillar "in Westminster Abbey. The pillar stood in the side chapel, northeast of the chancel. It fell with a tremendous crash, was shattered1 into small pieces and damaged the tomb of. Lord Norreys. Investigation showed that a similar column in the same chapel was very unsafe. Stejjs have been taken: to insure stability. Dawson's Week of Sport. Victoria, April: 14.—-The sports of Dawson are arranging a big carnival to take place there commencing July 1st and lasting a week. There will be horse races, trap shooting, and, if it can be arranged, a bout between Sharkey and Slavin. Charles M. Bowes is coming out to arrange the attractions. The prizes offered will be large enough to take men front the outside to the Klondyke.

The investigation of thq Cook charges by tiie senate ha1:- Kuoved the Toronto Globe to renew its agitation for the abolition of ths np- per chamber. .The Globe argues that whether there is or bus been corruption in the matter of senate appointments, the system of appointment is bad in any case. As matters stand the appointment of senators is simply an addition to the patronage of the party that happens to be in power, and it is significant to say the least that in the great majority of ciases the men ���who have been appointed to sena- torships have beeu men of means. Iu fact it is impossible for.a.man of limited means to accept a senator- ship 'noi matter how deserving he may be ���' 8f-. the honor. While ;it may be expecting too much co look for the abolitiou of the senate, something in the way " of senate reform may be expected. It would be possible to limit the term of appointment, or it might be made an elective body, with di-n- . tricts so arranged that its members would not be a duplicate of the members returned for the commons, and in any case the property qualification should be reduced. If the ; Couk charges result in auy of tho-c thiugs being accomplished the failure of the Ci-ok senate negotiations will prove a bletsing to the Dominion. ^ W. L.

The stock which the United States Steel Corporation issued in exchange for the various companies it has taken over ,is in the hands of the original holders of the stock. . Vital Statistics of Great Britain. ... London, April 14.���Some interesting points are found in the annual report of the registrar general of births, deaths and marriages for the United Kingdom. In 1899 the marriages reached the highest number recorded since 1870, aggregating 202,234 or 10.5 per thousand. There were 37,124 illegimate children born. The deaths mimbered 5S1,799, equal to 1S.3 per thousand, and there were 2844 suicides. This is the first year on record that not a single death from hydrophobia has been renorted. fact that most of the English jockeys have adopted the American style of riding or to the immature conditions of the American mounts. One of the interesting results of the American invasion is the appearance on the turf of a new racing saddle with sliding stirrups, wliich is warranted to give a jockey an American seat without effort on his part. The stirrup straps work on much the same principle as the V-shaped American.siispender fasteners, and the inventer of the new saddle claims that it automatically changes the rider's seat from front to rear, and vice versa, giving all the advantages of the American style of riding. Big Shipping Syndicate Formed. Seattle, April 14.���Lyman C. Smith, the millionaire typewriter man of Syracuse, New York, is the head of a syndicate of capitalists which closed a deal for the purchase of a number of steamships on the Atlantic coast to be used in the Pacific trade, with Seattle as-the home port. The syndicate purposes to build in its own shipyards in this city a number of sailing vessels suitable for the "lumber trade: of the Pacific coast and, China, the Hawaiian islands and Australia. In the enterprise $1,000,000, it is stated, will be immediately invested and additional capital placed to insure the success of the' syndicate's operations on a large scale. J. W.

LEFT $10,000 FOR HER DOG Bequest of Wealthy Recluse, New York, April 14.���For the care and maintenance of a little black and tan dog, which lay at her feet when she wa,s dying, Miss Ellen Anne Griffin left $10,000 by her will. The furnished room in; which she died in East Eleventh street was small and plainly furnished, but Dandy Jim, as the dog is called, wore a jewelled blanket, the only article in the room indicative of the wealth of the woman. ��� Miss Griffin was worth $150,000, and had for years been a recluse. Her costliest gown was made of calico, and she was a familiar figure in Union Square, where every policeman knew her and her peculiarities. She was the daughter of Charles Alexander Griffin, a prominent New York" lawyer fifty years ago, and the grand daughter of George Griffin, at one time the ..leading criminal lawyer of New York, and ; a writer of ability. She was born 58 years ago. Her most intimate friend during her school days was Ellie Vanderbilt, grand daughter of commodore Vanderbilt. -When a young woman Miss Griffin fell in love with a cousin. Her parents would not permit her to marry him.' Her grief over this, r which was great, was intensified by the death of the young man not long after. The death of her mother led her finally to take to the room near Union Square. She never again saw any of her old friends, her only companions being Dandy Jim and a canary bird. Last week it became evident that Miss Griffin's end was approaching. She sent for a lawyer and made her will. She appointed him her executor, and left her property to her nieces and nephews. To Mary Mac- Giveny, the housekeeper, Miss Griffin left $10,000 for the maintenance of the dog until the end of his days. :: ���' : '���" ��� .''��� Golden's Murder Case.

Anaconda, April 14.���Six hun- ��� dred men . employed by the Anaconda Copper Mining Company, at this place, are affected by the strike which was " inaugurated six weeks ago, with indications pointing to a protracted struggle. The moulders' union has joined the strikers and the foundry department of the Anaconda company has been shut down. Since the strikers' interview with president Scalleu, of the Anaconda mining properties, in which they were told that no concessions would be offered the union, the men have assumed a more aggressive attitude, and as a consequence the machinists employed in the new Washoe works struck today. The machinists employed by : the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific rail- Way have made similar demands, iand ".submitted an ultimatum to 'master mechanic Harrity. Three or four Butte mines have closed as a result of the trouble. JAPAN TALKING BUSINESS WILL ASSIST CHINA IN QUIETING MANCHURIA. An Immediate Answer is Demanded in Order to Check the Russian Ascendancy. Pekin, April 14.���Komonra Yu- tarow, the Japanese minister, accompanied by geueral Yamatgohi, the Japanese commander, recently called upon prince Ching and notified him that the return of emperor Kwang Su to Pekin was urgently desired. Prince Ching was informed that the emperor's wishes would be respected by the foreign troops, and that every courtesy would be shown him. It was pointed out to the Chinese plenipotentiaries that the < emperor's return was of the'; highest possible importance, as affecting the maintenance of the integrity of the Chinese empire, and that he should come accompanied by every available soldier, by at least 20,000 men if possible. These troops, it was further contended by the Japanese minister, must be sent into Manchuria,! as the Russians reported great dssturbances there, and it was not right that the task of quelling the trouble" should be thrown upon the shoulders of one nation. Finally, prince Ching was assured, that if the 20,000 Chinese troops could not suppress the disorders in Manchuria, other powers would send an international force to cooperate with China, which all the powers regarded as a friendly power. No reply having been received to this communication, Li Hung Chang was' today notified to the same effect, and told that emperor Kwan Su must give an immediate answer. The preparation which the Japanese here are making for an early start indicate that they still expect war between Russia and Japan. Vessels arriving at Taku from Nagasaki report the mobilization of the Japanese fleet and the continuance of preparations on-board ship for the anticipated struggle. Plans -of Arctic Explorers.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-15 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
