THE Appeal Made by the Wife of Pretoria's Military Governor, Who Waa a San Francisco Girl. New York, April 16.��� On behalf of the thousands of destitute women and children, many of them orphaned by the war in South Africa, Mrs. Louise S. Maxwell, wife of major John Grenfell Maxwell, the military governor of Pretoria, has appealed to America for aid. Mrs. Maxwell's husband has charge of the Boer refugees, who have been driven from their homes and farms by the war. She says that 22,000 of them have been collected in the city provided for them by the British.- Many of them are forced to sleep under tents iu the open air, aud the winter is approaching. She says she has done what she could in South Africa to procure help, but that England's millions have been drawn upon heavily- for the maintenance of the widows and orphans of the British soldiers killed in the war. In a letter, written from the military governor's office at Pretoria on March 13th, Mrs. Maxwell appeals through the Herald for aid. Sho says that contributions of warm clothing addressed to the military governor, Pretoria, South Africa, will be most -. gratefully received' and distributed among,them. _ Mrs. Maxwell before her marriage was Miss Louise S. Bonynge. She was born in San Francisco, where her father, Charles W. Bonynge, made a.fortune out of mines. General Maxwell"was appointed provincial governor of Pretoria last October "; by lord Roberts. ^ ,!.._.��-_,.'; -L. i J* . - Work Begun on Government Buildings. Excavation work 'was yesterday begun on the new postofficie-custom "house buildings, corner of Ward and Vernon streets. There are about 3400 yards of earth to be removed, but the present contract calls for only about 900 yards. This is beiug dumped in the hollow in front-of the Hume Hotel,, and will/ be a great improvement to that part of. Vernon street, filling a dangerous and unsightly hole. The scoops just shave the office of weighinaster Jackson, which will have to be removed at once. "Now that work has begun it will be pursued to completion without any unnecessary delays. Bounding Up Gamblers. The city police have been making ���an effort"to���round-up-the-p'rofes" sional gamblers who live, thrive and have their being in Nelson. They succeeded in securing one of the number, who was yesterday brought before mayor Fletcher and admitted, in legal phraseology, that he had. no peaceable profession or calling, and that lie made a living by gambling.

FITTING SENDOFF TO A GOOD STEAMBOAT MAN. He Beceives Many Handsome Presents Expressive of the Best Wishes of a Host of Friends. The banquet tendered to captain Troup last night was one of thS largest gatherings of the kind ever held in Nelson. The spacious dining room of the Phair -hotel was well filled by-friends of the guest, including nearly all the prof essional and business men of the city and a number of the railway and steamboat officials, with whom the captain is deservedly popular. Shortly after nine o'clock the hotel corridor was ^cleared and possession taken of the dining room where a recherche supper was served, including all the delicacies that could tempt the appetite or entice the palate. At the head of the table sat mayor Fletcher, with captain Troup to his right and superintendent Downie to his left, and other prominent C. P. R. men���railway and steamboat���and prominent citizens facing the good things provided. Three rows of'tables extended from .top to bottom of the room with every seat filled. Captain Troup saw some very active service on the Columbia river, and the old navigators of that great-stream tell stories ..of hazard and. bravery which will always-be associated with the name of Troup.. "When a difficult piece of work had to be undertaken,- rapids to be cleared or surging gorges to be faced, tlie man at the helm was invariably captain Troup, and the immunity from accident enjoyed'by- boats under his commahd.is always cited .as "Evidence; of ^ hig^kill. aud4-!.them~. "of -the - latest?. ��an"d clear .'/judgment.*' Captain "John Irving of' the" C' P. N. Company recognized in him a, man of cool deliberation and skill, and induced him to abandon the Columbia in favor of the Fraser river service���a service in Which he is well and favorably known, and for a time he commanded the Yosemite, plying between Victoria and New "Westminster. About 1882, captain Troup left the C. P. N. Company to take charge of the Mara line of steamers on the inland lakes, and during railway construction, and .in command of the old Peerless, ran between Savonos Ferry and what was known as Eagle Pass, then a lively little town near Sicamous, along the Thompson river and Shuswap lakes. He was always a man of great energy, and oue winter w hile the-Peerless-was-tied-up-in���the-ice,- he took a sub-contract on the road, then nearing Kamloops, and as a contractor he is said to have been a success. Having put in some rough times in this upper country, he returned to the Coast as superintendent of a line of steamers on Puget Sound for the Southern Pacific Railway Company. Here he remained until about 1892, when- he returned to the Mara service, _ which had extended its operations to the Columbia river and Kootenay lakes. Subsequently this line was bought out by the C. P. R., and by the new company the valuable services of the captain were retained, and under his supervision operations were extended to the Okanagan and Slocan lakes. "With the growth of traffic his responsibilities were increased, till with the steamboat department he was called upon to look after the railway branch also. Having faithfully filled these multifarious offices, he was recently transferred to the Coast as superintendent of the old 0. P. ;N. line of steamers'taken over hy- the C..P. R. The captain's presence, in Nelson today is owing to the winding up of his private affairs here, and the citizens took the opportunity of giving him some tangible evidence of their esteem in the form of a banquet, presentation and address. After the cloth was cleared the toast list was started with "Oiir King," which was received to the good old national anthem tune for the first time in the Phair dining room. "The President of the United States and Friendly Nations," followed. "The Maple Leaf Forever" having been sung by Messrs. Caldwell and Lawrence, "The Army and Navy" was toasted, and received by the singing of "The Red, White and Blue." "The Guest of the Evening" was received with, the greatest enthusiasm. He was declared "A Jolly Good Fellow" in song, cheered to the echo, and given several "tigers." ��� . Mayor Fletcher in proposing the toast remarked that'their gathering that evening was. one of gladness, mingled with regret���gladness because their old -^friend, captain Troup, was with them, and sorrow because that gentleman was severing his connection with Nelson. He was a pioneer of steamboat life in this party of the country, when the steamboat was .the-': only means of getting in or out. ; He was always courteous and obliging, and did everything in his power to accommodate the traveling public, and at the same time serve faithfully the interests of the corporation he' so ably represented.' This fact was fully.apprebiated, so that the district' under the.1 supervision of captain Troup vfras known the world oyer as a pleasurable .one in whieh to travel. "This condition of affairs was'due tb captain Troup as much, if not 'more, than to the company which he represented (cheers). Captain McMorris then presented captain Troup with a magnificent cabinet of silverware on .behalf of the steamboat branch of the service. The cabinet-is of solid'polished oak, containing 167-"pieces, and when it is stated that it was supplied from the establishment of Jacob Dover, the fact is a guarantee that, every article is genuine.' The cabinet and its contents weigh 200 > pounds, and is without question the best thing of the sort"ever ssen Jn British. Columbia.. It is-xonly- a week ago since * Mr. Dover got the order for the presentation,, so that it is highly creditable to the house that" at so short a'notice so grand' a collection ,'of articles could "be" furnished. Ib ;includes'kriives, forks, spoons, etc., 'for every dish known', every one of most- approved design In making the presentation, captain McMorris, of the Kokanee, said : It is indeed gratifying to me, sir, that I have -been delegated to address you on the part of the Columbia Kootenay marine department. My only regret is that one better has not been chosen, as I realize my inability to do justice to the matter in hand. On occasions of this class it is customary to extol the virtues and gloss over the failings of the honored guest. On this occasion, however, there are several weighty reasons why we should' depart from the time-honored custom, chief among which is the fact that time will not permit even a passing reference to the many virtues of our guest, and common courtesy, the stock-in-trade of the C. P. R. employees, prevents even the thought of-a-failing, The growth of the fleet since the year '92 wheu our guest first assumed the superintendency, has been little short of miraculous, and fully in keeping with the needs of the district. Tliat year the fleet comprised four steam- vessels��� three on the Columbia river and one on Kootenay lake ��� and river. At the present time- there are fifteen steamers in commission,- well- equipped and thoroughly up-to- date in-all their appointments, all pf them collectively and each separately a fitting monument to captain Troup's skill as a designer.- ' In the official relationship existing between our guest, and the officers and crews of the steamers there has ever been on his part a kindness and courtesy evinced that has won for him the respect and esteem of all. We have found him always pleasant of "approach, and when solicited his. counsel and advice have been freely given and in a manner which would not offend the most sensitive. When mistakes occurred on our part:he was just and; generous in his dealings���more inclined to leniency than in exacting 'full penalty for the offence. By his tact and courtesy, coupled with the many other excellent traits of character, he endeared himself to. the hearts of all who served him, and thus made duty a pleasure rather than a task. Taking all these facts into consideration we have deemed it fitting at this time to express our feelings and at the same time in some tangible manner show our appreciation of his many .good qualities, and we therefore ask captain Troup to accept in the spirit in which it is offered, the accompany ing cabinet of silver. Amongst us regret at his departure from this division is universal. We have no doubt of his success in his new field of labor, and we tender him our sincere good wishes and hearty congratulations on his advancement to a wider sphere. We would ask him to convey to his partner in life our kindest regards, and would wish them both long life and health to enjoy the blessings of Providence. [Cheers.] Captain Troup in rising to reply was accorded an almost boisterous 'reception. He said: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I have had a great many difficult tasks allotted to me, but never one so difficult as that I now undertake. ��� A voice���Go it (laughter). Captain Troup���I will (renewed laughter). " My feelings on this occasion you naay well understand: They are both sad and pleasurable ���sad because. I am to sever ties which I have formed here, and pleasurable because I see around me so many friends that I have' known for years, and men whom I feel and know are friends (here, hear). Ib is a pleasure to know and feel that a demonstration of this_ kind could not take place except I had. steadfast -friends in the com-, munity who are sincere in their de-; sire to give me a friendly shake of the hand and wish me Godspeed (cheers). ' ,If the fact of my having lived in Kootenay has had anything' to do with the development of the country I am thankful. My work, I assure you, has been a labor of love, It was"in March,1892,that I came to-Nelson to remain here. It was a bright sunny day, as many of you will remember. It had been a long winter aud there was a big delay in the train getting in from the,outside. We came up the Columbia from Little Dalles,. on to Lytton, to the- Kootenay .river, where we found John Hamilton and others waiting for us.'. We took the train and. got into ~ Nelson .without any mishap, and in those days to get in-without mishap, as Mr/Hamilton will tell you, was something inew (laughter). ' Here*we-'found" ' friehdrPhairjwaitingi foiMis^tp-give - ' us the glad hand,<as he has done so'; often since..' Since coining here my ambition , has been tp improve the 'service and bring ib up to. a proper, standard. I would be bashful "in. bringing this subject up were it not for the fact that the mayor and captain McMorris have alluded to it: The steamboat service was improved more than any other branch of the service for years. The good words spoken for the steamboat service here, - the good things written about them-by correspondents from the east, have had very much to do in making this country known and in bringing people to ib. .[Hear, hear, and applause]. Captain Troup told the story of the arrival of Clarke Wallace ��� aud some friend from the east at Revelstoke, and the surprise expressed by them at finding suchcomfortabler up-to-date steamers plying on inland waters in British Columbia. Tourists would not travel if they had to suffer inconvenience and discomfort. Many present would remember the old "Dispatch" and "lllecilliwaet." Compare these with the "Rossland" and "Kokanee" and the development was apparent. "This development has not been brought about," added the speaker, "without many hard days' work, persuasion to get the company to build the boats, and many a sleepless night on my part. From the very first I had great faith in Kootenay, but as far as Nelson was concerned, I sometimes had my doubts. In this particular, however, I have changed my mind. Nelson is a good place to tie up to. [Hear, hear, arid applause.] . That opinion I formed long ago, and I have no reason to change my mind. [Applause;]. I regret leaving Nelson, but you know that when connected with^-a big corporation a man has to go where his services are required. In looking over the past, I cannot but draw attention to the marked growth of this country. In 1893,as inany of you remember, the steamer Lytton was the only one in commission between here and the main line. She had two carloads a week and made two trips. During* the last three days of my superintendence here we handled from western points one hundred carloads per day. [Applause.] If that is riot growth I don't know what, is. [Cheers]. Captain Troup proceeded to say that he regretted leaving a growing country such as this. True he was going to more populous districts, but he liked the vim and go of Koot enay. [Applause.] As regards his connection with the railway branch of the service, he said that this was same what new to him, but with the kindly services of such old and experienced hands as Mr. Guteilus, Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Lawrence and others matters were made easy for him. His steamboat friends had' been good enough to allude kindly to his connection with them, and their kindness was fully appreciated for although he had occasion to have many of them "on the carpet" at one time or another, he was glad to know that they realized that it was done in the discharge of his duty, and while he might appear to have been harsh, they understood his motives were right and just. He gave some pleasant recollections of his connections with steamboat and railway men and assured all present that their tokens of esteem would be ever valued' by him and Mrs." Troup. [Applause.]" Mayor Fletcher presented on behalf of the citizens generally a beautiful cut glass . liquor set mounted in silver, a pearl-handled carving set and a set of fruit and fish knives of sterling silver. These articles were also from the establishment of Jacob Dover, and were of the Highest degree of art and utility. With the presentation was a suitable'address.. ~ _ ( '. . Several songs, speeches,- recitations, good wine and excellent cigars made the remainder of the meeting pleasant, and at an early hour this morning captain Troup had a farewell shake of the hand from all his assembled friends and many earnest wishes for his future success and happiness. �� BOUNTY RESOLUTION KILLED WANT A SHARE IN THE SPOIL LITTLE OOUNTBIES HAVE BILLS TO PBE8ENT.

Another Big Copper Amalgamation. Nnw York, April 10.���The Tribune is authority for the following: Ib. can be announced on the best authority that all the preliminary arrangements have been made for tlie acquisition of the stock of the Boston & Montana Copper and Silver Company, and the Butte & Boston Mining Company, by the Amalgamated Copper Company. There is a general belief among those well informed on tlie copper situation that the foregoing plans are only preliminary to a much larger expansion of the amalgamated company, which aims to take in, eventually, the rich mines of northern Michigan and Arizona, as well as those of Montana. This would give the company a practical control of the copper situation in this country, with the exception of ihe Heinze holdings'in Butte.

TBE HUM'S BIT C01MT Baker Street, Nelson. tea That there is an absence of sympathy, between the Englishmen who furnish the money for the development of Kootenay properties and the Englishmen who manage the s lid properties in Kootenay, is apparent from the proceedings of the second annual meeting of the-Ymir Gold Mines, which took place in London on March 25fch. This doubtless explains why, after so much complaint has been made by local mine managers against the imposition of the two per cent tax, ,so little should be heard of it in London, where the investors meet to listen to the report of their year's oper- tions. At the recent Ymir meeting there was not one word in condemnation of the tax which in Kootenay the people are assured is cr.ush- - ingthelifeoutoftheminingindustry. What is the explanation ? - Can it ,be that the men in England who have invested their money in the development of properties are fairer- minded than the men who have been entrusted with their development ? It looks like it. The directors of legitimate mining companies probably realize that they are business men, and that when they meet their shareholders they are expected to talk business and not politics. They probably ^ realize that the government of the province of British Columbia must receive some return for the vast sums which it has expended in building roads, trails, and b/idges to open up the country, and for the administration of the mining districts as they are created; and they as business men are not inclined to put forward any plea for taxation .exemptions ' for themselves and their property, which could only have the effect of increasing the tax burdens of the the people engaged in every other commercial pursuit or calling in British Columbia. In short it may be taken, that, when one gets right close to the actual English investor, he will be found willing to pay his way, and the government of Brit- Columbia asks nothing more. Telegraph advices from Victoria indicate that no response has been made to the government's call for tenders for the construction of the ���new Coast to Boundary road. This of course can only be surmise, but self-interest will prompt Nelson's merchants to hope that it is true. Direct rail connection between Boundary and the Coast means loss of business for Nelson's wholesale men, and loss of business is unwelcome to all wholesale men, whether they do business iu Nelson or Victoria. . _^ Canada may not be entitled to a front pew in point of the number of men she sent to South Africa, but Canada has no cause to blush when earl Roberts' honor roll is read over. In it no less than forty-five Canadian names appear. This is an off-year for charter mongers. It begins to look as if all railway charters granted by the provincial legislature this session yrUl contain a proviso to the effect that the charters shall not be given force of law until their promoters give satisfactory security, in the way of a cash deposit, for absolute control by the government of the freight and passenger rates. Gave Chamberlain a Stab. London, - April 16.���Denouncing the South African war, at a meeting held at Cannington last night, Mrs. Richard Chamberlain made a lively .attack on the colonial "secretary, Joseph-Chamberlain. "It is all very well" she said, "for men like my brother-in-law Joseph, to say farm- burning is all right, but how can he know anything about farms' or farming ? Who was his father ? He was a little screw maker, ��� a very respectable profession, but it does not teach much" about farming. It is no good sending out screw makers or anything of that sort. The war was not made for England, but for Johannesburg capitalists wfio could not' speak English." Morgan Will Buy the Picture. London, April 16!���It is announced by Onlooker, a- society paper, that it is practically settled that J.-Pierpont Morgan will "secure for ��25,000 the Gainsborough picture recently recovered in Chicago. The.Agnews deny, that the sale has been made, as it cannot be definitely closed until the return here of sir Thomas Agnew, who is abroad.

O THE BLOEMFONTEIN FRIEND Beceived by a Local Man. ��� It. W. Day is in receipt of u Bloemfontein newspaper, the'Frieud, which is a curiosity iu its way. Ifc is a four-pige, eight-column sheet, about twelve inches longer than The Tribune, and is printed partly in English and partly in Dutch, the latter playing an important part in the advertising columns by way of 'proclamatie, or proclamations. Of course the news is chiefly of a warlike character, but there is little in it that the readers of Thb Tribune have not had filtered through telegraphic dispatches and extracts from war correspondents. The -advertisemeuts-are-more-like-the- ordinary dodger seen in this country than anything else, but they contain some interesting reading. Au hotel mau atKroonstad for instance "Wants'to buy all sorts of liquors." Here the hotel man generally wants to sell all sorts of liquors. Then .there is an - undertaker who guarantees "orders attended to with thegreatestprompitude." One would naturally think there would be no delay in filling orders of this class. His brother of the monumental works will furnish "inscriptions in any language or style," including Irish. He aliso supplies porcelain wreaths. A. shoemaker particularizes his establishment as "next to the poor school," which would lead one to believe that they have as poor schools in the Orange Free State as in any state in the union, The Bloemfontein infant school advertises ''kinder-ga?ten for children*1'of* four years ahcl'upwards"���ho limit after- four; Ivenuit-geving '(which being interpreted, means notice) is liberally used in calling attention' to all sorts and conditions of things from horse stealing to church services or the sale of double barrelled rifles. A lady undertaker alludes to her late lamented as her "hitherto," and notwithstanding His. departure for regions unknown, announces her determination to continue the undertaking business aud give satisfaction to all concerned��� inferential I y, including the corpse. That the editors of tlie Friend are busy men may be judged from an advertisement which read?: "Wanted���Oflice boys for the editors of this newspaper. White boys only need apply." There is something - new about the 'advertisements but the news is stale. , EARL ROBERTS' DESPATCH ALL BUT IGNORES THE SEBVICE OF GENERAL BULLER. While Nearly all the Division and Brigade Commanders Eeceive Complimentary Paragraphs. de- the London, April J fi.���Another spatch from lord Roberts, on subject of the South African campaign, dated April 2nd, 1901, has been published in tho Gazette. -It largely concerns the transport service, and says the mule transport consisted of what are called in South Africa as buck wagons, carrying a load of 300 pounds drawn by ten mules, each with two native drivers. After mentioning the serviceable wagons made iri Cape Colony, and the frequent retiring and other re-- pairs which .the English made wagons required, lord Roberts said: "Six buck wagons were imported for trial from, the United States. These proved to be superior to any other pattern made at the Cape or by any other British manufacturer. The wheels were made of hickory the bodies of black walnut, and the "metal work of steel. The superiority of these vehicles was doubtless due to the fact that mule wagons are largely used in America for the cjirriage of goods as well as for military transport. .The manufacturers have therefore learned by practical experience what' is the best type ot wagon, and what are the most suitable materials. The best mules, lord Roberts thinks, are the Cape mules, and the next Lest tlie Indian mules. The mortality among the oxen was ���greater-than among the mules. Lord Robert.", in his dispatches, goes over all" branches of the' service, and -iu viewing the hospital department mentions the American hospital ship Maine, fitted out and manned by,the splendid generosity of private individuals and a committee of American ladies. Lord Roberts' heads eleven pages of special "ment ion, by acknowledgments of service' of sir Alfred Milner and general" Ivitch'eneiC Paragraphs complimenting almost almost all the division and brigade commanders follow, including gen-, erals White, JMe'thiien, Baden-Powell, Kelly-Kenny, French, Arthur, Paget, and Pole-Carew. General Buller is mentioned first after the staff officers, but in merely formal terms without commendation. Tlie following Canadians are mentioned for meritorious service: Colonels C. W. Drury and W. D. Otter: lieutenant-colonels L. Buchan, T. B. Evans, F. L. Lessard and S. B. Steele; majors B. Belcher, A. M. Jarvis, G.. Ogilvie and Coudin; surgeon-major A. M.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-17 |
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. |
