C, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS POWERS INSIST ON PAYMENT WILL NOT REDUCE DEMANDS UPON CHINA. French Version of the Puzzle Has it that Russia and Japan Have an Understanding. Paris, April 15.���The correspondent here of the Associated Press is informed from a trustworthy source that the outlook for an early settlement of the Chinese indemnity question is less promising than a week ago. The negotiations between the powers bring out conflicting ideas and interests, and are likely to be very protracted. The proposition of the United States to limit the total indemnity to $200,000,000 is the only one under discussion, and is not regarded with favor by more than one government. The others consider the suiu too small, aud are disinclined to reduce their claims to the figures the United States desires. A Washington dispatch published in London affirming that the United States proposes that the^ indemnity be divided between the powers in proportion to the number of troops which participated in the relief of legations at Pekin is regarded as incorrect. No such proposal has reached the French government, which considers that the entire expense incurred as a result of the whole operations carried out must be taken as the basis for indemnity. " It is believed that the claims of individuals will be first presented and paid. This matter will be expedited as much as possible in order to allow an early resumption of_ commerce and work on other foreign enterprises. Nothing'is shown here of, the-reported inten-t "tion" of the emperor to" return' to" Pekin without the dowager em- press, and no faith is placed here in the reported hostility between Russia aud Japan. French information indicates that concilia; tory" negotiations are . proceeding between these two countries, with the prospect of a thorough understanding regarding the position of both towards Manchuria and Korea.

An Art Gallery for Prague. ��� Vienna, - April 15. ��� Emperor Francis Joseph has fulfilled the loug cherished desire of tlie population of Bohemia by ordering the establishment at Prague of, a modern national art gallery, towards the founding of which he himself has donated 2,000,000'crowns.

The list includes in addition to An- tonin Dovrak, the Bohemian composer, Yarostav Vrehliczky, the Czech poet, and professor Gampers, of the university of Vienna, the translator of the works-of John Stuart Mills. Venezuela Wants a Loan. - New York, April 15.���In the course of a special article on the eituatiou in Venezuela, a correspondent of the Tribune says : The Venezuelan government is trying to negotiate a loan of $30,000,000 in Jfew York, and the matter is now being considered by one of the well- known life insurance companies. Notwithstanding the -government Venezuela ha9 had much of the time for the last fifteen years, the nation's receipts always exceed its expenditure, and the government can pay the interest on all its debts if it so desires with perfect ease. Ayall, the leader of the campaign against the New York and Bermuda Asphalt Company, has' been nominated vice-president of the republic. OFFICIAL CIRCUMLOCUTION -And the Government Creameries. A local wholesaljBfirm wrote to the minister of i&^M&%Zf3miV;.ra, could not have an opportunity of handling a share of the product of the government creameries of the Northwest territories. Several weeks having elapsed without any acknowledgment of the communication, the firm again wrote the department, and received the somewhat unsatisfactory reply that their first letter had not reached its destination. Another .copy of the original document was then for- waided and only yesterday was this acknowledged, through the commissioner of agriculture and dairying. This official conveyed the intelligence that there was no butter available, in September last, according to the* superintendent of the dairy at Calgary, and that "when we have butter to offer, we are glad to sell it to whatever firm will give the best price." The firm in question are anxious to make a bid on 'the product of the creameries, but have not been afforded, an opportunity of so doing. They contend that at the time they were- apprised that there was no .-butter,- available, the article was beiugi supplied freely by anotjier-^firm,' j and they reasonably think:, tbat^ they should be in a positioiT.tb- -geitf the butter, providedtheir price; is' ' as good or better,thanVthatflaid by_ KITCHENER IS SATISFIED WITH THE PROGRESS HIS MEN ARE NOW MAKING. His Army Now Includes 250,000 Efficient Troops, of Whom 60.000 are Well Mounted. The Chinese and'Public Health; * A Chinaman was'brought up "at the police court yesterday morning and charged with keeping unsani- taiy premises, thereby endangering public health. This particular Chinaman herds with a number of his fellows in a building at the rear of Riblet's iron works, and uses the lot as a dumping ground for all sorts of refuse matter. There is no drainage, so that a stagnant pool of serai-liquid matter has accumulated. The case has been frequently reported upon, but not until yesterday were steps taken to have the nuisance abated. Eight days were allowed the offenders to clear the place and connect with the sewer. A closer inspection of Chinese premises would be in the public interest. London, Apiil 10.���The British newspapers and magazines commenting on the alternating periods of.,hope and apprehension which characteriz6 the later, stages of the South African campaign, compare these^with the later stages of the American war of independence, as though to emphasize these fluctuations. While the letters of responsible correspondents in Pretoria depict the situation in a rather despairing mood, the Pretoria representative of the Daily Mail sends today a dispatch of the most hopeful character. "The next six weeks," he says, will see a resumption of active campaigning. Lord Kitchener will renew his sweeping movements. He has an army of 250,000 efficient troops, including 60,000 mounted men, with a good supply of .horses, '40,000 - having been Secured in Cape Colony alone.

The Bosun, at New Denver, has reT sumed operations, and is shipping ore steadily. The Street SprinUer at Work.' The street sprinkler made its first appearance for the season yesterday. Since the warm weather set in the merchants along Baker street have had ample grounds for complaint, the clouds of dust doing much damage to stock.

Iu the present instance the road was cleared in a couple of hours aud the engine again placed on the rails. Granite From Roberts' Quarry. A splendid block of granite from Roberts' quarry, a couple of miles east of Nelaon,was yesterday added to the collection of local building material in the office of architect Macdonald. The granite is easily worked and as it carries a big percentage of iron it .makes a'beautiful building stone. This is the material chiefly used in the C. P. R. bridge at Robson.

CHINESE MINISTER KICKING COUNTRY'S TRADE SUFfBRING FROM DELAYS. China's Expenses in Connection With the Recent Uprising Are Placed at Over $60,000,000. .Washington, April 15.���The Chinese minister has returned from Atlantic City and was at the state department today in conference with secretary Hay ou the status of negotiations at Pekin. The' minister is sdmewhat concerned over the delay in bringing about a final adjustment and also on the current reports that the indemnity will reach a very large figure which he bears will be beyond the ability of China to meet. When seen at the. legation during the day, minister Wu said in response to inquiries on' these subjects: "We'have been accustomed to hear that China was^ very slow, but -in this case many weeks and months are going by without any delay attributable to China so far as I have-heard, and yet without definite prospects of bringing tlie negotiations'.toaclose. This unsettled condition is very injurious to China, but the commerce of all the commercial nations of Europe, as well as American is injuriously affected by the present uncertainty of conditions in the East. What we need in the commercial world is stability and some definite understanding of what the conditions are to be. As to. the question of indemnities, I receive very little direct information. But ;i have'regretted to.see from some of the published report's "/'that the total of indemnities; is "reaching a very, large sum. ��� China's own losses-, will reach $60,000,000* iri" aggregate therefore China Will be shouldering aifeurdbn ;i^i^M|safe;^��'parti0ns,v. and "this wiirc^'e'afi^iP-'ffiV'^nc^;! try has passed through a most" try-* ing experience."

Roderick Robertson should seek at the present time to create a division in the ranks of ,the delegation now at Ottawa for the purpose of urging upon the federal government the necessity, of bonusing the output of a silver- lead refinery./ For many months it has been apparent that the lead smelting industry of Kootenay has been at ��� the mercy of the United States lead trust, which through its domination of Kootenay smelters controlled the silver-lead mines of the district as well. Mining and smelting are inseparably associated, and after carefully considering the condition which confronted them -the people of Kootenay decided that the best way out of present difficulties would be to secure a bonus upon the product of refined lead sufficient to enable the . Canadian, smelters ' to operate independent of the foreign trusts This,' it was explained, would assist the silver-lead mine-owners, as well as the smelters and refineries, since it would ensure them a competitive market for their ores, instead of a market in which the TJnifcecTStates lead trust would.fix their prices, which was inevitable in view of the probable forced suspension of the Canadian smelters. This apparently was satisfactory to everyone save J.Roderick Robertson, who was given no place on the delegation. lie contends that everyone else is wrong and that he is right. The government assistance in his opinion should go to the jnines, in which he is interested, in- steacfof to sinelters and~~refiueries in whicli he has no interest, and he forthwith constituted himself a sort of minority delegation aud posted off to Ottawa to mold the genuine delegates aud the members of the government to his way of thinking. The unfortunate thing is that there should be any division upon a matter fraught with such great importance to the people of Kootenay. There is always more or less difficulty in securing such concessions as Kootenay now requires from the federal government, and these difficulties will,now* be increased by J. Roderick's presence in Ottawa. This will not be occasioned by any arguments he can advance in support of his contention, but simply .''beca'use his presence introduces dis- njC^rd into the delegation, and furnishes the ministers with an excuse for delay���something which ' maybe well nigh fatal to Kootenay lead smelting interests. Taken all in all it is to be regretted that the refinery delegation could not get away to Ottawa without Kootenay's Jonah. y^ ' Prominent mining engineers are a great deal like prominent mine- owners;we know of���they secure their prominence through absurd talk in newspaper interviews. A '���prominent" mining engineer has been unearthed who declares that ���''Joe" Martin's bill legalizing cham perty will do the province much- harm with English investors. This is a new source of danger. If the men who presume to speak for them are to be believed the English investors whom British Columbia requires so' badly are opposed to paying fair wages to the men employed in their mines, opposed to any legislation limiting the number of. hours which shall constitute a day's work, opposed to the payment of any taxes to the government, and opposed to-the legalizing of a practice which has been followed in British Columbia since the inception of mining. Evidently British Columbia cannot hope to secure English investors until it will consent to permit them to make the terms under which they will carry ���on mining, and incidentally- give them power to frame the laws under which the people of the province in which their mines are situated shall live. ��� ��� The organ's of the East Kootenay coal, railway and smelter. combine are now- directing their' abuse "at ministers Blair and Tarte; because they refuse to grant.the Crow's. Nest Southern ' railway charter without any restrictions' whatever. They assert that the combine has never given any evidence of a disposition to treat Canadian concerns unfairly; but they altogether ignore the fact that so far the combine has refused to give any satisfactory guarantee- that they will treat Canadian concerns fairly after their charter is granted. Vancouver must be full of dead- beats. It must. be so or the grocers of that city could never show a black list of 800 persons. These 800 names do not represent all of those whom the grocers find~diffi~ culty in collecting accounts from. It is made up solely of those who could pay, but who won't. The figures are interesting. The 800 dead beats represent as ' many household. This is possibly the heaviest percentage of dishonest people in Canada. Victoria has a wash-house bylaw, under which it is hoped the Chinese wash-houses will be forced outside the corporation' limits. This bylaw makes it illegal to sprinkle clothes by spraying water from the mouth. It also provides that wash- houses shall have cement on brick floors, must be 25 feet from the street line, and must be ten feet away from any other building. By the same method Nelson might rid itself of many Chinese wash-house nuisances. That the officers of the Rossland Miners' Union are responsible for all the friction in that camp is not the opinion of Hon. C. H. Mackintosh. In the course of a recent interview he gives -some of the camp's domineering mine managers a shaking up, and adds that from their talk a practical observer would suspect that a strike would suit their payrolls. Manager Cronin of the St. Eugene mine says his company's shutdown has been caused by the" price of lead. For the first three months of the year the St. Eugene declared a dividend of ��105,000, or at the rate of 12 per cent upon the par value of the company's stock.

THIRD AVENUE, ROSSLAND. Staking Placer Ground. Greenwood, April 15.���[Special to The Tribune.]���During the past few days Rock creek and its tributary streams have once more become the mecca for placer gold hunters in search of claims. The excitement is principally due to operations of a local company that lias acquired leases and is now working below White's- bar on this creek. Within two weeks the company will commence "booming," and a profitable clean-up is anticipated. Tn consequence placer land along adjacent ' creeks is being' staked rapidly, especially along Baker creek, the-south fork of Rock creek where' pay dirt 'is found. Alex. Broomfi'eld, Bart 'Ingraham and others liave'acquired leases on the former'creek,'and'A. D. Sykes, J. G. Billings/C.5 H'. Fair and Sproat have recorded -on :'the south fork. Since'^its'"discovery in the early sixties?; Rock creek placer diggings, under most primitive methods, are reported.' to have yielded over a quarter of a million ih gold. Miners are apparently well satisfied that if bed-rock can be reached much more will be discovered; During the summer extensive operations by "booming"creeks will.beprosecuted. On Baker'creek returning prospectors say there is much rich dirt that will yield handsomely. Placer mining is also in full swing below the fa.lls on Boundary creek .where sluicing is being carried on and good results are looked for. Considering Freight Sates.

Ellsworth, Maine, April 15.��� News is at hand of the thrilling experiences of four women on the freshet-swollen Union river, at Mariaville, yesterday afternoon, in which one of the number lost her life, and the other three were at one time threatened with a similar plight. The women, Mrs. Eugene Jellison, Miss Carrie Parson.", Miss Carrie Jellison, and Mrs. Emma Tiueworthy, attempted to cross the river in a small boat, all bridges being closed to trailie on account of a flood.

She caught hold of oue of the supports of the bridge and partly stopped the headway of the boat, but the current was. too great, and the craft was carried-on. Mr. Jellison was left hanging to the bridge. She hung for a moment then . lost her hold and sank.^Mrs, Jellison's efforts had reduced the speed, of the boat sufficiently for Mrs. Trueworthy to get a firm hold of a projecting piece of timber under the bridge, and she succeeded in stopping ib until a line was made fast. Mrs. Jellison was- 30 years of age. A husband and four small children survive her. Her body had not been recovered afc noon today. Italian Paupers Not Wanted..

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-16 |
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. |
