London, April 29.���The first step in Lhe direction of the consolidation of-some of the biggest transit and "shipping-interests has-been .accomplished by the purchase, by J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., of the Leyland line steamers. A deposit on" the purchase money has been paid. The purchase of the Leyland line is tantamount to its consolidation with the Atlantic transportation. The Leyland oilicials in confirming tho sale, said the official statement would'be issued tomorrow. It is understood that the shareholders will receive fourteen pounds ten shillings for each ten-pound share. The Leyland line, whose fleets will thus pass into the control of Americans, is one of Great Britain's great shipping institutions, and the result of the consolidation of the steamship company with the largest tonnage in the world. . Smith's Death Was Accidental. ==^EoNDON^i5ril_29."^^The"coroner's jury, which has been investigating the death of Billy Smith, the Philadelphia fighter, who was fatally injured on April 22nd, at the National Sporting Club by Jack Roberts in a ���contesCfor the 120 pound championship of England, and who died April 21th, today rendered a verdict of accidental death. The coroner minutely examined the club'oilicials and some disinterested spectators of the contest. The hospital surgeon, who atteuded Smith, said that the appearance of Ih-) pupils of the hitter's eyes disproved the story that he had been drugged. Out of the thirty bouts which have taken place at the National Sporting Club this year, this is the first in which a contestant has sustained serious injury. American Cotton Shut Out. Tacoma, April 29.���The steamship Copack brings^ news that tho shipments of raw cotton from the United States to the Orient will be greatly affected by immense purchases of Bombay cotton just made by the cotton spinners' union,, embracing the largest cotton manufacturers of Japan. Then* agents have bought 250,000 bales to be shipped within the next few months. Of this quantity, the Nippon Yusen Kushia will carry 100,000 bales at twelve rupees a ton. Many manufacturers intend to mix Bombay with American cotton,-while others will, use the former exclusively. Ifc is laid down in Japan cheaper than American cotton. Boers for Bermuda. Hamilton, Bermuda, April 25.��� There is considerable excitement at present in Bermuda over the ex pected arrival of 1700 Boer prisoners. The British government has leased Barrell's island, one of the largest islands in the sound, and within a quarter of mile of Warwickshire, for one year with the option of relinquishing on a month's notice. Tusker's island has also been inspected, but up to April 24th no definite settlement has been made in regard to it. The army officials are very reticent and nothing can be learned from them on the subject. The blacksmiths of the town have been sounded as to their ability to construct several hundred yards of iron fence, very strong, close and high, with spike points, and as the plans which one or two have seen are said to be the plans of one of the islands, very little doubt is entertained as to the object in view by the government. REPORT OF CITY AUDITOR SAVED BY PLUCKY FIREMEN Sensational New York Fire. New York, April 29.���With splendid daring, at the risk of their lives, two firemen today went into a burning apartment house at No. 1712 Amsterdam avenue and rescued two old women from what appeared to be almost certain. death. -The firemen were Matthew Cummiugs and John McClair of Hook and Ladder No. -23. The women rescued were Mrs. Elizabeth Niver, 65, and her sister, Mrs. Eliza" Moore, 80 years old. The fire was started by children' on the top., floor playing with matches. Firemen Cummings and McClair were told that the two women were in the building and they made desperate efforts to reach the fifth floor by the regular stairway, but the flames drove them back. They then rushed up to^the fifth floor of the next house and then over the fire escape to the front windows of No. 1712. McClair%waited outside and Cummings went in on his hands and knees through the dense smoke. The crowd,below watched gilently fur the firemen to reappear. - At length McClair was- seen' to' -reach in and take something from Cummings. . It was Mrs. Niver, who had been found unconscious in the kitchen. McClair hurried with her to the , street, while Cummings crawled back into the flames. Just as the captain of the compauy was ordering other men up to the rescue, Cummings was a :en to stagger to the wiudow carrying Mrs. Moore. She was unconscious aud Cummings was not far from it. The crowd cheered like mad. when Cummings made his way down to the street. He soon went back with his comrades and fought the fire. Mrs. Moore was burned so severely that she had to be taken to a -hospital. Her condition is serious on account of her extreme age. ��� Mrs. Niver was painfully scorched. IMPRISONED MINERS SAVED Three Will Probably Perish. Aurora, Montana, April 29.��� Rescuers reached three of the five miners, who had been entombed in Rosebud mine since last Thursday, at 2 o'clock yesterday morning. Two were rescued alive, one was found dead, and tlie other two- are supposed to be lifeless. Grant Shard had been mangled by falling rocks and earth, and undoubtedly died instantly. Faint taps on the iron rails announced that two others were still alive. They were William Shane and George Foster. A large boulder had Foster pinioned by the foot, and in that position he had remained for a day. He was nearly famished when reached by the workers, but was revived by the aid of stimul.aits. The work of saving him was tedious and risky, as the drift was just large enough for one man to. work in lying on his side, clawing dirt back'.to another, then another, until the whole string had been passed. When taken out it was discovered that Foster had a crushed leg and foot, but he will probably recover. At 10:10 a.m. the rescuers were near William Shane, who wa3 pinioned by the foot with a dead man underneath him, Shane was scarcely able to talk. His arm is. broken, and it is feared that he may lose his mind. He was removed at 11 o'clock after an imprisonment of sixty hours and fifty minutes. The other two aro probably dead. Five thousand persons were about the shaft all day and night. SUBMITTED TO THE COUNCIL LAST EVENING. Proposition Bespecting Flour Mill for Nelson Indefinitely Postponed as Applicant Wants too Much. There was a full attendance at the meeting of the city council last night, mayor Fletcher presiding. The finance committee recommended a* number of payments, whicli were approved and checks ordered to be issued for same. The auditpr presented his quarterly statement of receipts and disbursements to March 31st, showing : Receipts Sl8.fti5 94 Expenditure 21.408 11 Kxcoss of expenditure ��2,530 17 Tlie outstanding accounts receivable on March 3lst were as follows : Scavenger rates Sl^G 90 Real estate taxes : . 2,917 94 Sewer rentals 1,019 70 Electric light rates 2,324 37 Water rates ��� 2,476 11 The rates paid in advance were : Water. Light.. 81,178 75 2G25 Total '. 81.205 00 3 ~"I am unable to give the amount outstanding for licenses," added the report, "as with the present roll we cannot have a corresponding ledger account." The auditor complimented the staff on the system of book-keeping, but recommended several alterations. Among the items in the detailed statement were $709.50 for fire department maintenance and $514.00 for equipment, the latter amount covering the expense of the team of horses recently purchased; the police department $892.00; and the scavenger department.- $991.70. As against the latter sum, however, there were earnings amounting to $1,129.63. Donations and subscriptions are set down at $1,469.60, and debenture . interest .at $4,375.00. Sewerage connections cost $1,100.27,; electric-construction. $337.00, and maintenance $1,303.79. As against this the receipts from this source were $4,838.50 for rates and $33.90 supplies sold. The report was referred to the finance committee. - B. Friel wrote acknowledging the receipt of the city's letter of the 15th hist., aud undertaking that if the council granted him the necessary site and water powea and exempt him from taxation for ten years, he would build and operate a flour mill in Nelson with a capacity of 100 barrels per day. Alderman Paterson thought the proposition rather indefinite. The writer did not say what size of a site he required. Alderman Selous���He seems to bo enlarging on the proposition. First he wanted a mill^site and water" power. Now he wants a graded road and exemption from taxation for ten years in addition. Mayor Fletcher���He asks for a mill site, with sheds, facilities for railway tracks and exemption from taxation. Alderman Madden���That might take an acre of land. Mayor Fletcher���Next thing he'll want is his passage paid to Nelsou. Alderman Paterson���The matter was referred to the board of works, but we wanted something definite from him. Alderman Selous moved that the writer be informed that it would be necessary for him to discuss the matter personally, but that the council doubted if it would be worth his while to come here, as his terms were such that the council could not comply with them. This course was agreed to and the clerk instructed to write Mr. Friel accordingly. The Kootenay " Electrie Supply Company wrote asking for tbe privilege of tendering for supplies for the extension of the service to the fire hall. A petition was read asking that the Kootenay Lake Telephone Company be allowed to string a wire to connect with the Methodist parsonage. There would be a big meeting of the Epworth League in Nelson on May Oth, and telephone service would be very desirable. Manager Hodge of the telephone company said there were several applications for new service, and the compauy was unable to comply because they were under orders to remove their wires in certain districts. . Alderman Selous thought the council had acted leniently with the company in extending the time for tho removal of the wires in outlying districts. There was an order to have all the wires removed, and the removal of those on Josephine street was to be undertaken at once. Alderman Irving moved that permission be granted to mako the connection petitioned for. This was seconded ' by alderman Hamilton and agreed to. J. Keith Reid wrote advocating his scheme for installing power, but the communication was tabled. A number ��� of < applications were read for sidewalks and sewers in different sections of the city, and re ferred to the board of works. The telephone question was again raised by manager Hodge asking for some definite ruling, when the mayor pointed out that at any time the council wished they could order .the removal of '..the wires.0 The matter was leffc in, the hands of the mayor and superintendent of the electric light service. It was agreed to raise the sidewalk to curb level at the Houston block, and - some routine business having been transacted the council adjourned.

An Indian Missionary Rev. father Eummelen, of the Okanagan mission, is paying Nelson a visit. He reports his Indian charges are doing well, and havo acquired the art of farming and fruit growing to a degree even beyond his anticipation. The aborigines also raise some of the best horses in the Kootenays, and are second to none in the matter of training, not alone for the saddle, but for harness. His parishioners are among the happiest and most advanced of the Iudian tribes bf the province. NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT Association Football. A meeting of those interested in Association football, will be held in the Hume hotel tonight at 8 o'clock to consider the question of establishing a club to work under these rules in Nelson, There was a good organization of association men last season, but they seem to have disbanded, leaving the field to the Rugby players. It is confidently expected that those favoring the milder treatment of the ball will .succeed in organizing tonight. BOLTEBS HAVE NOT BEGEIVED CONCESSIONS. ' Another Government Caucus Was Held Yesterday, But Like Others Was Barren of Besult. Victoria, April 29.���Finance Minister Turner delivered his budget speech in the legislature this afternoon. Contrary to expectations he made, no reference to the government's railway policy, in fact it is understood that he was unable to, as although the caucus of government members lasted until two this afternoon, no arrangement was arrived at with the bolting members. He however stated that this was probably the last time that he would deliver the budget speech. It is the thirteenth time he has done so, being finance minister that many years, with a break of but one year, and a member of the legislature for fifteen years. He is going to London as agent general for the province. Brigands as Emigrants. Nkw York, April 29.���The Herald says: "Italy is still making of the United States a dumping ground for her criminals and paupers. This fact has been forcibly called .to the attention of the local authorities by the arrival at this port of three Italian, brigands, whoso depredations made tliem a scourge to the province in which they were reared. These three outlaws who encountered no obstacle to bar them from entering this country, are now in Kansas City, Montana, whither they went on ��� some mysterious- mission of crime. Warning has been sent- by police commissioner Murphy to the Kansas City police who now have the Italians under strict surveillance. _ Commissioner Murphy- learned that -wlien-the-outlaws concluded to visit the United States they made terms with tbe local authorities of their province, and were* assured immunity from arrest. 'Then they levied blackmail upon the merchants who were more than willing to contribute a travelling fund, As a result -the three arrived in New York, appearing as well to do immigrants. Much Suffering in the North. Port Townsbnd, April 29.���Jacob Bush, who has spent three years in Alaska, returned from Valdez on the steamer' Senator today. Just before sailing from Valdez for Juneau, Mr. Bush says, a courier arrived at Valdez from Sunrise City, stating that a snowslide had occurred at that place on April 2nd, in which twenty or more lives were lost~ancl a number of_hbuses"buried" beneath the snow and ice. The courier leffc Sunrise City shortly after the slide had occurred, and could not give full particulars. Mr. Bush says Valdez is crowded with idle men who are anxiously awaiting the commencement of work on on the government trail-to the interior, lie reports that the hospital is full of sick men. Algiers Has Its Boxers, Ai.gikks, April 28.���It now appears that the revolt at Marguerite was provoked by Hadji Denaisna, a Ilarabout, who had preached the extermination of foreigners. Many of the inhabitants owed their conveisioii to stimulated conversion to Islamism. Sixty Arab rebel prisoners have been brought here, but no chiefs have been as yet captured. The mayoi of Marengs has appealed for troops, reporting that armed bands of Arabs arc descending upon the town, but the government believes that they are only fleeing from the pursuit of the troops from Marguerite. Longshoremen Strike in Quebec. Qurciiix:, April 29.���The Quebec ship laborers are out on strike. The Great Northern railroad, which has contract with Leyland line to ship five million bushels of grain from Quebec during the season, offered the men twelve dollars a week. The men refused and the company advertised for and secured about eighty men. This morning while they were at work three hundred strikers appeared and ordered the men out of hatches. They obeyed, and the loading of the Belgian is now at a standstill. The police were called out but as the non union men all quit when asked to do so, there was no trouble and the services of police were not required. The Quebec ship laborers organization is very strong financially, and can put up a long fight. Match Ended in a Fizzle. Boston, April 29.���The first big wrestling match for years in Boston, ended iu a fizzle tonight to all appearances, though Harvey Parker, of Brockton, was given the decision over Ernest Roeber, the world's champion at Graeco:Roman. The decision had to be given as it was because Roeber refused to continue wrestling at the ��nd of the first hour, claiming that his understanding was that an hour was the limit for a bout if no falls were taken in short time. M'CLELLAND KNOCKED OUT He Lasted Twenty Bounds. Louisville, April 29.���Jack McClelland of Pittsburg, was knocked out in the 20th round tonight by Dave Sullivan of Brooklyn. ��� The fight brought out one of the most scientific and vicious ever seen in Louisville, and when McClelland got the knock out, niue out of ten men in the house thought Sullivan did not have steam enough to knock out.a child. For a dozen rounds the Pittsburg boy had inflicted the severest punishment on him, and at least four times the gong sent Sullivan to his corner very weak and groggy. Throughout, however, he fought like a bull dog, and took punishment that would have put out many another fighter a dozen times. In the 20th both came up apparently fresh, McClelland led off with a right swing/Sullivan clinched and stepped back upper cut twice, then led a hard right which sent McClelland to the floor for eight seconds. McClelland got up and clinched, Sullivan trying again to get in the knockout blow. McClelland landed right and left lightly'L Sullivan then upper cut him twice, landed left, crossed with the right, "and'"McClelland-~was���outr,-rfalh��fir- heavily to--'.tbe floor, his head striking first. Before the fight it was announced that one month from tonight Terry McGovern would meet the winner of the Sullivan-McClelland contest before the Southern Athletic Club, under whose auspices tonight's contest occurred. Belief at Last. Henry Gallard died at the general hospital last night. He was a man of about 05 years of age who came west some six months ago. Shortly after his arrival in Nelson he was stricken with bright's disease, and was admitted to hospital. He has since continued a patient at the institution, but nothing could be done to mitigate his sufferings, from which he was relieved last CANNOT BLUFF DUNSMUIR WILL NOT AMEND HIS BAIL- WAY POLICY. Says Four Per Cent Clause Gives Only a Fair Beturn Upon Government's Assistance. * -3-i��rtt* ' ��� >V>-pi&__ Victoria, April 29.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The political situation remains unchanged. Premier Dunsmuir is determined that the.' railway subsidy bill shall be considered withoutany material change. He says that four per cent of the .* gross earnings is only a fair return" on the amount advanced \>y the ' province to aid in building t ho five - railways specified in the bill. This ex|>!p.-s=k��i from an owner and oper- ator of railways should haveweight. This is the one point in the bill that ' the people should throughly under- ; stand, so that they may iu the ' future hold their representatives to . strict account for their vote?. The speeches on the budget to^ ��� day were wholly devoid of interest." The fiuauce minister stated that he would probably retire from office at the end of the session, and Smith- Curtis of Rossland delivered a sort of semi-farewell, address ns if he had been in public life in British Columbia for a number of years, instead of a few months. He with-" out question imagines himself the only great political factor in - the province. Tatlow also . made a declaration, stating that he would hereafter be < ",^g|| independent.

Victoria, April 29.���A rich strike of silvatiite ore has been made on Mount Sicker, about 50 miles from this city. Similar ore in small quantities had been found on the Lenora mine, but this later strike is on the Tyee whete the men ran through a three-foot vein.

Condor, which arrived from the south on Sunday, did not have any yellow fever on board, all patients having been landed at Panama. One slight case occurred after the vessel left Panama, but the patient was better next day. The disease was contracted at Tuiuaco, Colombia. The vessel is still in quarantine aud is being fumigated. A Prospectors' Union. A movement is on foot in Nelson to start a prospectors' union. The prospectors claim that they should have somewhat of a monopoly of the work, seeing that they pay an annual license. As to exploiting the hills in search of minerals, they enjoy all the latitude they seek, but they contend that when assessment work is to be done they are entitled to a first show. As the law at present stands, $100 worth of work must be done as a year's assessment, and they state that unexperienced men cut prices and scamp the work. Another Big Bailway Bridge.

The figures in themselves are interesting, but it remains to be seen what their possibilities"are for public entertainment when the opposition critics get at them, and ! give point to the proverb that while : figures cannot lie politicians can. ' Probably the first point of interest in connection with the finance min- \ ister's statement is his guess as to the population of the province. This he places at 150,000, and for *���" them lie provides a total expendi- ; " ture of $2,475,335.50, with an estimated revenue of $2,140,751.05. 'This by some figuring can be -brought to show au expenditure of if 16 per "head of the population, a statement which will probably remain unchallenged since it possesses no particular merit. It is when ���" the revenue is reached, and politicians commence to juggle with the figures, that the disparity grows and the air becomes heated. People who are quite content to divide the expenditure of the province by its population, and arrive at its expenditure per capita, are by no means prepared to arrive at the taxation per capita in the same way; and The Tribune will venture to predict that during the week the taxation per capita will be variously stated at figures ranging from $4 to $71. Those who are interested in showing provincial taxation in its most onerous light will at once divide the population by five, to arrive more closely at the number of taxpayersin the prov- ���ince.���Theurdividingthetotaln-eve- nue by 30,000 taxpayers, they will show that the people who pay taxes pay at the rate of $71 per head. Just why politicans should make taxpayers feel bad, by making their burdens seem greater than they are, is something which has yet to be satisfactorily explained. Against this class, however, must be placed tho optimist, who, to arrive at the per capita tax, skims off the $117,- 051,05 which the province receives from the federal exchequer, and as interest upon sinking funds; also the $1,103,100 received from land, timber und mineral concessions, as well as licenses of various kinds; and then brings out the direct taxation at $590,000, which spread over a population of 150,000 gives a rate of $4 per head. Thus it will be seen the very simple statement of the finance minister, iu the hands of industrious legislators, can be made to show that British Columbia, has the most prodigal or the most economical administration iu Canada; and the side of the house the member is ou will very largely determine the view he will take of provincial finances. iucial revenue, or poll tax, is $200,000, and .his estimate from succession duties $100,000. This does not suggest that the chief industry of the province is being taxed to death. For every dollar the mines pay, the wage-earners pay two dollars and a half, and the estates of the dead are called upon to pay one dollar and twenty-five cents. , - The United States smelter and lead trust, which a few weeks ago was so anxious to rescue the silver- lead mines of the Slocan from the clutches of tlie Canadian' Pacific Railway Company, and force it to. deliver ore at . its smelters at a cheaper rate, has at last come out in its true colors, and is'putting the screws on the lead mines of the western states which have no other market for their lead ores than the smelters controlled by the trust. The trust has the American mine- owners by the throat, and it has submitted new terms upon which it will purchase their ores. Under these tho trust lowers the settling price for gold values and increases treatment rates. Here is a specimen of the treatment accorded the- producers by the trust:���"Ore containing $30 " worth of mineral, aud paying $10 " per ton freight, will be required " to pay $17 per ton treatment " charges, thus leaving the mine " owner $3 per ton out of which to " pay the cost of mining and in- " terest upon investment." This emphasizes the necessity for immediate action on the part of the federal government in tho matter of granting some substantial bonus upon the production of lead mined smelted, and refined in Canada, if the lead-miningJndjisjiryLj3f.British. >���> Saturday April 13th was the third anniversary of the B. C. Permanent Loan & Savings Company of Vancouver, B.C., and the financial statement just issued shows that the assets of the company have increased from $136,835 02 on April 13th, 1900 to $292,853.22 on April 13th, 1901. This is a remarkable increase for theshortspaceof twelve months. Tho subscribed capital has increased from one million to one million five hundred thousand dollars, and. mortgage loans from $129,525 to $203,175. The most startling increase has beeu made since January 1st of the present year. At that elate the assets were $230,297.11 and in a little oyer three months have increased to $292,853.22. Duriug thelast twelve months the permanent paid up capital of the company has increased from $22,278 to $0S,367 and the value of this class of stock has increased from $107 to $117 per share, and a further advance is expected in a few days.

Will Not Make Any Changes. London, April 20. ��� A representative delegation from the miners of the United Kingdom met the chancellor of the exchequer, sir Michael Ilicks-Ueach today, and asked for the withdrawal of the export tax on coal. The chancellor replying, controverted the suggestion that the tax would injure the export eoal trade. The tax, ho said, would ultimately be paid by the foreigners, and therefore the collier owners could not pretend it was necessary to reduce the miners' wages ou that account. Many South Wales miners are enjoy ing. a holiday today as a protest against the tax. Demonstrations took place at various points.
