NELSON, B. C, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS a NELSON JOBBERS KICKING AGAINST EXPEESS COMPANY'S COMPETITION. Surplus Goods Shipped Into Nelson aud Sloughed Off at Prices Local ' Merchants Cannot Meet. The wholesale houses of Nelson are registering a vigorous kick against the Dominion Express Company on the ground that the company is competing with them in trade". Tiie charge which the wholesale men make against the express company is that it imports goods and retails thorn���in fact it is in the commission business, and enters into competition with houses making this their particular field of operation. The Dominion Express Company, they complain, engages in tliis branch of business and pays no license for the right of so doing. The company receives large consignments of . goods for sale and peddles them around to retailers for whatever they cau get���satisfied apparently if it can secure a price sufficient to satisfy express charges iu excess of the quotation at which . the merchandise is received by it. - If the Dominion Ex-. press Company is to stay in the wholesale or. retail trade its rivals would like to have the fact kuown; - but if so, they assert that the company should pay into - the city treasury $250 per . aiinum, the license fee charged to persons selling goods in Nelson produced outside the city. ��� ... This is the contention of the local wholesalers. Instances of tin- . due interference - with local ,trade are quoted-ngainst the express company. A few'days "ago the com-, pany received"a"large - consignment of eggs and sent a man out, tb procure a customer for them. He'was, as usual, successful in his mission, and whsn the -firm by whom the' establishment alluded to was - usually supplied, called for its accustomed order, the fact was announced that the express company had supplied the want. Twelve months' ago a similar state of affairs existed and the merchants raised a protest. The result was a temporary cessation of operations on the part of the express company, but now it is said to have entered into the wholesale trade with renewed vigor. Tliis is the story as told by the wholesalers and jobbers. A representative of The Tribune yesterday called on Fred Smith, the local manager of the Domin- ^ionJSxpi'ess^Gompany.^and^asked- for an explanation.- Mr. Smith did not deny the case as above represented. "It is true we receive goods," said Mr. Smith, "and that we dispose of them in the interests of the "company and the consignees." "What is your margin of profit?" was asked. "We don't look for profit ou the goods," was Mr. Smith's reply. "All we ask is that the price'-we get is sufficient to pay that fixed by the party sending them, plus the freight charges." ' "Who are the goods consigned to ?" was asked. "They come to this office," said Mr. Smith, "and we try to sell them for the parties concerned." "And if you do not make a sale��� if they be perishable goods and are . lost���who suffers the loss, the express company or the parties forwarding the goods?" "The parties sending the goods," said the agent. "We don't take the risk." "But would you recover the freight charges in case what you receive as<security be rendered unsaleable by reason of being too long on hands ?" Mr. Smith.replied that the company wouid try to "do so. He thought it rather an advantage to the consumer that goods could be supplied to retailers at a lower figure than the wholesale houses charge. "The wholesalo houses incur some risk in handling perishable goods. You run no risk," was suggested. To this Mr, Smith said that his company was not in the wholesale trade, and simply handled the goods to oblige customers. The subject is one which will be brought under the notice of the board of trade at its next meeting. The attention of the civic authorities has also been called to the fact that the Dominion Express Company is doing business without a trader's license. Nelson's Business Blocks. One of the largest and best photographic pictures taken in Nelson is now on exhibition in several of -the local stores. It is by WaddsBrothers, photographers, and represents the Kirkpatrick-Wilson- Clements block, corner' of Baker and Ward streets. A score or more of Nelson's prominent citizens are "in the group," with the tram car iu the distance and a general air of prosperity which would do credit to any business quarter in the busiest and most populous cities in the Dominion. So clear is -the photograph in every detail that the names of the different office holders in the block are clearly discernable on the window panes. The photograph is a work of art.

TO GUARANTEE PROTECTION CHINESE WANT TO GET BID OF , ALLIED TROOPS. This Is Said to Be' the Basis for the Withdrawal of 10,000 French ��� Troops. Washington, April 23.���-It is understood here that the Chinese plenipotentaries at Pekin, prince ���Ching and Li Hung Chang, are prepared to give a guarantee to the powers for the protection of ' all foreigners in China if the ^foreign troops now stationed there are withdrawn. This is understood to be the.basis of the withdrawal of 10,000 French troops, and it jsj^arn: estly hoped among Chinese officials that this will be followed by a similar movement on the part of the other foreign forces in China. Pekin, April 23.���Many applications have been made to Mr. Rockhill and general Chafee, by Chinese of all degrees, for the .detention in China of the American troops until the general withdrawal of the troops of all the powers. Many of those who are making this request think the withdrawal of the Americans will make the others remain longer. There are also people who do not desire to see any of the soldiers go, fearing anarchy and an uprising against foreigners. Field marshal von Waldersee has made application that the gate of the forbidden city be guarded by jGernian=troops=after=the^departure= of the Americans. General Chafee replied that American soldiers will continue to guard the gate. At this the Germans are indignant, saying this impugns their honesty, and that if the United States desires to do her share of policing the city she should leave behind enough troops for that purpose, that merely a few men belonging to the legation guard should control the gate that would be within the German quarters cannot fee allowed. If general Chaffee, persists in this course diplomatic representations will be made in the matter. The ministers of the foreign powers are meeting daily. They do not at present show a disposition to reduce the claims, which many think to be extremely reasonable. The Father the Murderer. Chartres, France, April 23.��� Suspicion in the brutal murder of five children, which occurred here yesterday, falls ,upon the father of the murdered children. It is suggested that the father murdered his children in a fit; of drunken madness. The knife' with which* the slight wounds on the father were made belongs to the house, and a bloodstained jacket found on the premises belongs to Briere, the father of the murdered children. Briere has been arrested. Will Ensure for the Province^All the Advantage of Public Owner- r m ship Respecting Roads Built Under It. Victoria, . April 23.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The government today introduced by message a bill defining its railway policy. The bill authorizes the lieutenant-gov- ernor-in-council to borrow any sum not exceeding $5,000,000, to bear interest at the rate of 3 1-2 per cent, the money so' borrowed to be used for the railway subsidies and the construction of a bridge across the Fraser river. The railway subsidies will be in aid of the construction of the following railways/in a sum not exceeding $4000 for each mile of railway, of the uniform gauge of four feet eight and one-half inches, viz: 1. For a railway from the Coast, in the neighborhood of English Bluff, near Point Roberts, via Chilliwack and Hope, to Midway, Boundary Creek district, approximately three .hundred and thirty miles. 2. For a railway from the present terminus of 'the Esquiraalt & Nanaimo railway to the northern end of Vancouver island, approximately . two hundred and forty miles. 3. For a railway from Rock Creek to Vernon,' to connect' with the Shuswap & Okanagan railway, approximately one hundred and twenty-five miles. - . 4. For "a railway from the Coast, at Kilimat, to Hazelton, approximately one hundred miles, 5. For a railway from Fort Steel' tdGolderi, approximately-'oiie hun-' dred and fifty miles;. Section 15 of the bill reads : "It shall be lawful for the lieutenant- governor-in-council to cause to be built a bridge across the Fraser river in the neighborhood of New Westminster, at a cost not exceeding five hundred thousand dollars, for the purposes of railway, vehicular and passenger traffic, and for the purposes aforesaid to enter into contracts for- the construction of the said bridge as may be deemed expedient, subject to submitting same to pubicl competition, and after.construction to enter into any agreements that the lieutenant- governor-in-council may deem expedient in connection with the user of said bridge by any railway or ' other companies, persons or firms, with power to fix a tariff - of tolls." Section 10 reads: "The lieutenant- governor-in-council may enter into all agreements with any persons or company undertaking the construction of any railway to which a subsidy is hereby attached, which may be necessary or convenient for the due construction and operation of such railway, which agreements shall, in every instance, in addition to other matters therein provided for, contain the following provisions, viz : (a) That unless work is commenced on the railways mentioned in subsections a, b, c, d and e of section 8 hereof .on or before the first day of July, 1902, and is duly and diligently "prosecuted to the, satisfaction of the Iieutenant-gov- ernor-in-conncil, all right and claim to the aforesaid subsidy granted by this act shall be cancelled and forfeited. . (b) That the aforesaid subsidy shall not be payable until the railway is completed ,and in running order, to the satisfaction of the lieutenant-governor-in-council, nor until security or guarantees, satisfactory to" the lieutenant-governor- in-council, is .deposited for the continuous maintenance and operation of' the railway, and no subsidy shall be payable or-paid until after such completion, and the giving of such security or guarantee. (c) That four per cent per annum of the gross-earnitfgs of the railway" shall be paid to the province, and such sums of four per cent shall be' a first charge upon such gross earnings. (d) -That the railway obtaining the benefit of any such subsidy shall be constructed wholly and as a continuous line within the province. (e) That the lieutenant-governor- in-council shall have absolute control of the freight and passenger rates or the charges by the railway and that, notwithstanding in" the event of the railway being or becoming subject to the jurisdiction of the Dominion government, the same shall be deemed a contract between the province and the company. (f) That the railway may. be ac- [ quired at any time by .the province at a valuation to be determined by arbitration under the provisions of Arbitration Act, provided, however, that in considering the valuation no sum shall be entertained by the arbitrators for the franchise belonging to the company. (g) That the conditions of this section may be varied at any time, and from time to time, and as often as the lieutenant-governor-in-council may deem advisable, always provided that control of the. subject matters referred to in this section by the government of British Columbia be not abrogated." (h) That in the event of a charter being granted by the Dominion government for a line of railway over or parallel to the route proposed in this act, that the foregoing conditions shall, be assumed and carried out by thie company so incorporated as a "contract and obligation of said company prior to any other charge thereon. ' (i) That such terms . and conditions for the proper carrying out of all the clauses of any such agree- mentand penalties and forfeitures to arise upon failure of the railway in respect thereof shall be imposed as the lieuteriant-governor-in-coun- cil may deem advisable. .(j) That such other terms and conditions may be imposed as the lieutenant-governor-in-council may deem- advisable.���'- *' / ��� - From^ the above it will be seen that a long step iri the direction "of, government control and ownership of railways is made. The bridge at New Westminster is to be owned by the government, and ��� the rates on all the railways bonused are to be controlled by the government, and a percentage of the gross earnings paid into the provincial treasury. This bill will be opposed, so it is rumored, by McPhillips and Helme- ken of Victoria, Garden arid Tatlow of Vancouver, Murphy of West Yale, and Hayward of Esquimalt, who, at this" session, are strongly auti-C. P. R. and as strongly pro- Jim Hill. The Opposition will also no doubt oppose it. Night sessions commenced tonight. Marine Engineers Hopeful. Cleveland, April, 23.���A revised wage scale was today submitted to to the officials of the; United States Steel Corporation vessel interests by the executive committee of the Marine Engineer's Association. The scale is now under consideration by the steel company, and it is generally believed will be accepted. MA��OR=Pl^rS-ON-FINANGE Why Sandon Is in the Hole. Mayor Pitts of Sandon was in town yesterday. His worship is about to sever his connection with the city under the hills and locate in the Similkameen country, at what particular point he will not say. The calendar of Sandon now reads from the date of the recent fire, and a sad story it tells. In speaking of the municipal finances mayor Pitts said :' "The chief _ source of revenue is from liquor and traders' licenses, which amounts to about $0000 per annum, and real estate, which enriches the treasury to the extent of some $3000. However, since the fire, the whole aspect has been changed. The city was swept by flames, and among other important things that were destroyed was the assessment roll and all the public books and accounts, A sum of $10,- 000 was subscribed by way of relief fund for the fire sufferers, and with this, their only available asset, the work of reconstruction was begun. Immediate wants having been supplied, the surplus..was applied to clearing up the townsite and the laying of sidewalks in the newly platted city. The rebuilding of the flume ran away with $2000 of this, and the sidewalks with $1000. Then there was nothing left���only the mayor and board ofalderirien��� and their job was a very unenviable one. They had to start anew, with nothing in the treasury, and a fire- swept waste to reorganize. J. M. Harris.the townsite owner,had some sidewalk built, but the main cost of the work has to be done by the ratepayers. Debentures to the ex tent of_$15?000 have been issued, butTthislias been swallowed up in necessary work. The city has been run most economically, the clerk and police magistrate offices combined receiving but $85 per month, the chief of police a like sum and the chief of the fire department, who also acts as policeman, $100. A new assessment is being made, which will show a substantial increase on the old one, seeing that a better class of buildings are going up. But with the fire went all the books of the corporation, so that outstanding accounts had to be wiped out, which left the corporation in pretty bad shape. ������ ��� ��� ' . Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted. H. Watts, an expressman, was yesterday summoned before magistrate Crease charged with allowing his team of horses, to wander on .the public thoroughfares, not having any person in charge. There is no pound in Nelson, but there is a powerless pound, so that wandering animals have no check, on their depredations. Tlie owner of the offenders iu this case was fined $10 and costs, which it is hoped will be a warning to others. Suspicious, of Japan. Yokohama, April 23.���Korea, it is understood, will pay Japan the million yen still owing, out of the new French loan of five million yen incurred for railroad building. The Japanese newspapers suspect Russia has had a hand in the French loan, regardless of the convention qf 189(5 by which Russia and Japan should jointly lend money to Korea if necessary. The Korean foreign minister appears to have been ignorant of the loan negotiations until the last moment. THE COFF-BURNS CONTEST Date Not Yet Fixed. The Nelson Athletic Club has perfected arrangements for a boxing coritest between Charles Goff and James Burns of Rossland, and has posted $000 with The Tribune to cover expenses in connection with the affair. The date for the contest has not yet been fixed, but it will be on or about May 10th. The contest is to be limited to twenty rounds, and as the men are said to be handy a good exhibition may be expected. The Nelson Athletic Club has made arrangements with the Canadian Pacific Railway'.Company for reduced fares from all local points, and a special train will be run from Rossland to accommodate the Rosslanders who desire to see the go. -.^ ��� A Dishonest Hungarian. Police constable Black yesterday brought over from New Denver a young Hungarian named Rubenez, who confesses to having raised a check on a local merchant from $7 to ��17. The fraud was very clumsily executed . and was readily detected. Rubenez is a young fellow of not more than 18 years of age, and has been employed on railway construction. - He expresses his desire for a speedy trial, and will be accommodated. Caught in the Storm. A crew of the Nelson Boat Club were having a spin in one of the racing boats yesterday, when they were overtaken by the storm and obliged to put ashore at Five-mile point. As the water was too rough to launch their craft again, they simply beached her and took to their heels, making Nelson in time that would do credit to professional sprinters. They had left their coats and vests in the boathouse, and were obliged to make town in shirt-sleeves. Salvation Army Social Work, Ensign Andrews, engaged in Salvation Army social worki is paying Nelson a visit, and last night conducted a very successful-meeting at the barracks. He is promoting what in army phraseology is known as grace-before-meat box work, but to ordinary mortals the proposition is one to introduce collecting boxes and to collect therefrom, the donations of a generous public. Several of these boxes have been placed in Nelson and have, within the past three months', enriched the army treasury to the extent ot $20, which the ensign says is phenomenal for a city, of Nelson's population. It was announced last night that the children's annual demonstration would be held on Monday evening, and for the occasion a varied and select program has been arranged.

There was a rather serious stabbing affray in Nelson a couple of days ago which has not yet received the attention of the police magistrate. A number of boys were in a boat on Sunday, while other kindred spirits were ashore. Those on terra firma made a target of their friends in the boat, and several stones took effect. The oarsmen pulled ashore and at once proceeded to administer a wholesome chastisement to their wanton assailants. In the melee a knife was drawn by a lad named Crossett and used effectively upon an associate named Howell, who received some half-dozen stabs, none of Which were of any serious moment. Young Crossett has been in the hands of the police before��� the charge being the stealth of a sum of money from a drunken man. On that occasion he refunded the stolen cash and was let off with a caution. * - Nelson Quoit Club. The final game of the first draw in the button series was played yesterday between J. H.

The empress saw New York, April 23.���A man who called himself count Leo de Melville, who is said to be known ' also as Leo Talquin, was arrested , here on Friday night last at the request of the Chicago police. He was arraigned before a magistrate on Sunday aud was remanded until today. A Chicago detective searched this city today with requisition papers, in which the man is said to be wanted iu Chicago for bigamy. - The New York police say. the prisoner was employed as-a waiter-.' under the name of Talquin. Chicago, April 23.���Count Leopold de Melville, otherwise known as Leo Talquin, is held by the New York police on the charge of bigamy'' sworn to by a brother of one of his ": Chicago wives. - His arrest has', brought to light in this city a- romance whose unfolding reveals the count as a hero of more than one hundred love affairs. He is declared to be the husband of an assortment of wives who number a recently deserted��� wive in Chicago,, estimated last night at "fifty or so." V As a duellist on many a blood-, stained field of honor in Europe,- <���* the count became celebrated nearly; a generation ago. His duels were ^ always fought for love, and the ' wounds received in the onsets he '��� probably ��� bears , on his face arid'-"- body. , He at last broke altogether ^ with his father, a nobleman high in . the court arjd councils of the king "' of Belgium, and came to this ' country. '. Sucli was this narrative rendered last evening at his residence in this city "by Mrs. Hannah Hensonde - Melville, who- married count de Melville on August 21st, 1900, aud lived with him until about three ' weeks ago. .A- few days bef ore- April 1st the count eloped with a- young woman from Riverdale, whom it is alleged he married in this state and then took with him to New York. Within a few days of the elopement the young lady's brother discovered that de Melville had a wife in Chicago���Mrs. Hannah de Melville���with whom he had been living at the time of the elopement. His sister in New York was made acquainted with her brother's discovery. There was a scene be- tweenJihelelouers. after whicli the _ "ill Iff f r �� *J.i '- -4 r ";.����� % ~-'Xf.-.\\ - Mil �� rrs'l *��� r i** ��� . .��^j-i ���-Jftl young woman returned to Chicago. When placed under arrest in New York the count was reported to have told detective Burke that he had so many wives that he had not been able to keep track of their different names and could form no idea as to their realnumber. To make such an admission, the countess thinks, would have beeu unlike the count, who is said to be habitually cautious and taciturn in dealing with strangers. But she freely vowed that in her opinion he had several wives living, and added that she would not be surprised if the number should be found to reach fifty. With this latter number to his credit the count would be found to have thrown into the shade the records of the two most celebrated Chicago bigamists, Bates and Farnsworth, siuce Bates was able to muster only five at his trial, and Farnsworth about the same number, although Farnsworth told the police here that the number of his living wives here was forty-two. Before the end of the week the count will be brought to Chicago to face his accusers. . Sandon Picking Up.

Baker Street, Nelson. The Dunsmuir government's railway policy, which was transmitted to the legislature by message yesterday, will take'British Columbia farther along the road to government ownership of railways than any of the other Canadian prov- ��� inces. It is a policy designed to ��� promote legitimate railway construction through, districts in which ��� the demand for railways suggests the probability of their ultimate ��� successful operation after they are built, and as such will commend itself to all save the salaried shout- . ers of railway bonus hunters. By it the government provides liberal assistance for such lines of railway ' as the present requirements of the province seem to demand, and in . return for such assistance it stipu- ��� lates that it shall have absolute " control of the freight and passenger rates, and also receive four per cent upon the gross earnings of the . road. " When .it is' remembered -��� that transportation companies ai e , essentially monopolistic in their ,' nature, the importance of govern- , ment control of transportation rates becomes obvious if the systems in question are to be operated ;' with any regard to public interest; ' nor can'it be shown that a govern- . ment, representative of the people of the province, would be more in- ��� clined to deal harshly with the transportation company accepting public assistance, than would the . officers of such company deal with the people of the province iu fixing the rates they should pay for the use of their state-aided railway. As , to the government's proposal to ^_take_four_per cent upon the gross ' earnings of such state-aided rail- ' ways, it is worthy of note that all of the objection comes from the men who are boosting Jim Hill's railway enterprises. No doubt it ���would please Mr. Hill beyond measure to take from the government of British Columbia $1,320,000, as a .. cash bonus for the building . of his projected railway from Midway to the Coast, without conditions of any kind, but the desires of Mr. Hill must be subordinated to those of the people of the province.' He is not the only railway builder in the province, and if the terms proposed by the government of the province are not acceptable to him he is under no necessity to accept them. In the railway programme outlined by tbe government that portion in which Mr. Hill appears cuts a comparatively small figure, : and it is up to him to do business upon a business basis or quit. British Columbia is tired of being gold-bricked by charter mongers and speculators, and its people will welcome the new railway policy of the government from one end of the province to the other. The Dominion blue book dealing with tlie last general elections furnishes much interesting information concerning the voting strength of the several provinces and their representation in the federal parliament. If the vote cast may be taken as a fair approximate of the yoting strength of the respective provinces, the most striking feature of the government return is the excessive representation of Quebec as compared with every other province in the Dominion save Prince Edward' Island. Whether or not there were local conditions which accounted for a light vote throughout the province of Quebec, the fact stands out that, based upon actual voting, the other "provinces would be entitled to increased representation aggregating 44 seats, or close upon GO per cent of the entire representation of the French province. With five elections by acclamation���three in Ontario, two in Quebec and one in New Brunswick���there were all told just 952,- 496 votes cast, or an increase of 110,896 over the votes cast in the preceeding contest. The vote by provinces was: Ontario 426,083 Quebec 237,239 Nova Scotia .< 107,836 New Brunswick G8.3I!) Prince Edward Island " 21,129 Manitoba : 41,789 Hri' ish Columbia 20,451 Northwo t Territories 23,018 ' These figures show that, with three elections by acclamation in Ontario, as against two in Quebec, the premier province polled 4631 votes ��� for each of its 92 members, as against 3050 votes in Quebec for each of its 65 members. The votes throughout the other provinces per member were: Nova Scotia 5391, New Brunswick, with one uncontested election, 4882, Prince Edward Island 4261, Manitoba 5969) British Columbia 4408, and the Territories 5904, Based upon the vote cast these figures would entitle Ontario to twenty-four additional members, Nova Scotia to nine, New Brunswick to four, Manitoba to four, British Columbia to one, and the ~TeTritories_to_two7 It musfbelcoii^ fessed that the showing made by British Columbia does not come up to what was expected of it, but the fact that two out of the six seats in the province were contested some weeks after the general result was known no doubt tended to keep the total vote down to lower figures thau would have been attained had. all the contests taken place at the samo time. Dr. Pagan of the provincial board of health does not like the manner in which the Nelson papers have criticised his actions as secretary of the health board. The doctor demands a triple-headed apology from the Nelson Miner, while the correction of The Tribune's article is left to the finer feelings of.the editor of this great family journal. ^ Dr. Fagan may be all right as a provincial health officer, but the people of Nelson have no confidence in the board whose servant he is, and its secretary can please Nelson best by confining his meddling in health matters to other portions of the province. From the time of its inception there has been friction between Nelson's people and the health board, and recent experiences have not tended to remove it. Nor is this difficult to understand, when it is remembered that the board was created chiefly for the purpose of discrediting the political opponents in Victoria of J Just 500 More Chinese. Victoria, April 23.���The steamer Empress of China, due tomorrow from China and Japan, has on board 500 Chinamen. To guarantee ttie head tax of $100 on each, the C. P. R., owners of the steamer, have deposited with the ��� Dominion government $50,000. For each Chinaman who can prove he was in Canada before, $100 of this amount will be returned to the company. This is the first large crowd of Chinamen to arrive since the head tax was increased. Some of them are bound for Mexico, and no.doubt many will make their way to the United States. Government Elevators for ; Montreal. Montreal, April 23.���The harbor board has received a telegram this morning from Ottawa saying the government was prepared to loan the board one million dollars, at 3| per cent, interest, for the erection of elevators.

O CITY LOCAL NEWS The remains of the late Harry Flanagan were yesterday interred. All attempts to communicate with his friends in the east failed. There were two drunks before police magistrate Crease yesterday morning, and a fine of $5 and costs was imposed in each case, with the alternative of one month's imprisonment. A regular northwest blizzard held sway in Nelson yesterday afternoon for half an hour. The wind* blew high aud low, the rain fell charged with snow, and trafiic to and fro, it ceased; pedestrians shelter sought, who mackintoshes bought, that they should not be caught, and fleeced. Professor Payne, the hypnotist, will open a three nights' engagement at the opera house tomorrow night under the auspices of the fire brigade. The professor invites professional and representative men on the platform so.as to prove the genuineness of the performance. Ohio Strikers Win. COLUMHUS, Ohio, April 23.���A /strike of 2500 miners over the dead work scale in Ohio sub-district No. 75, which commenced yesterday was practically ended by the signing of the miners' scale by Schenick & Co. of Bellaire, Belmont county, today. This action it is believed will be followed by the other operators along the Ohio river. Plenty of Money Offering. London, April 23.���Applications for the new war loan continue to pour into the Bank of. England. The subscribers today though numerous, were mainly small investors. It is estimated that the loan was subscribed for six or seven times ( over, and it is expected that the list will be closed tomorrow as it is not desired to lock up too much money. Iu the house of commons today various members sharply criticized the budget increase of the income tax, and tlie chancellor of the exchequer, sir Michael Hicks- Beach, replied that more money must be raised somehow. None of the objections suggested a better way. He hoped that the additional taxation might bring home to the country the virtues of economy. The income tax resolution was adopted by 30(5 to 88 votes. St. Petersburg, April 23.���The universities were reopened yesterday. With the permission of the minister of public instruction, general Vannovski, the students held a meeting, and after a four hour's debate adopted the following resolution by a vote of 1501 to 228: "The students, confiding ih the government's benevolent intention, and desiring to give time to accomplish necessary reforms, resolve to beg the ministers not to - begin lectures in the spring, and therefore the examinations in the autumn, when they could be attended by comrades who are now excluded; because, in the contrary event, difficulties might arise in the universities whicli we wish to avoid." The students were entirely alone except for the presence of the chief Beadle. Ten addresses were made, most of them moderate and the temper- of the meeting was distinctly conservative. The meeting in a certain sense, was a continuation of that held Saturday, ,the same students presiding.but the more radical resolutions adopted Saturday were not accepted. The Saturday meeting had been forbidden but the rector eventually opened the hall, and four hundred students were present. They demanded the recall ^f'the^^b^nt^studeutsr^lt^is^be^ lieved that the resolutions adopted yesterday'will render those passed Saturday nugatory, and will receive respectful consideration by the government. One of the speakers yesterday related a conversation he had had on Sunday with senator Aescbaninoif, and the new assistant minister Meshcauinoff, who had emphasized the statement that the government could not receive categorical demands from the students, but had expressed the belief that if the students behaved moderately the absentees would be recalled during the summer. The university students will meet again today to receive the answer of the authorities to the resolution. Little Rock, Arkansas, April 23. ���It is stated that over $3000 was secured in the hold-up of the Choctaw, Oklahoma, & Gulf passeuger train last night near Iron Mountain crossing, four and one half 'miles west of Memphis. The train reached Little Roek half an hour late, at 0 o'clock this morning. Sidney Drew, the negro porter, who was shot by the band its j was taken to the St. Vincent's hospital, where his wound was dressed. His condition is serious. O. T. Meader, the express messenger, was badly beaten over the ��� head and shoulders with a pistol, but was.able to continue his run. The . passengers were not molested. Six masked men boarded the train at Bridge Junction, half a -mile west of Iron Mountain crossing. Messenger Meader started to pass from the first car to the second, when he was confronted by four men, in whose hands were two revolvers and two shotguns. Oue of the gang grappled with Meader and secured the pistol he carried in the belt around his waist. About this time the train began to slow up, aud soon came to a full stop. Then the shooting began. The two men who had boarded the rear of the. second car captured Sid- new Drew, the porter, and made him uncouple the cars. Under orders from two of the men who had mounted tho cab, engineer Johnson pulled the two baggage and express cars about a -,mile away from the train. ' ' When the engine stopped, George Ward, a boy,, who had beeu riding on the blind Jbaggago, car, sprang off, aud started into the woods. A shot from one of the robbers brought him back to. the train. 'Open the local ,safo)(or we will kill you," shouted the leader of the gang to the messenger. The messenger obeyed, and one of them placed the contents of the local safe in a sack. "Now you and the kid get into the car ahead," was the order. Meader did'not seem to move fast enough to suit the bandit, who had him in charge, and he - fell upon Meader with the but end of a revolver, with which the express messenger was severely beaten over the head and back. The boy,frightened almost.out of his senses, cowered in the corner of the car aud was not attacked. Meanwhile four of the gang were at work on. the through safe in the second car. About a pint of nitroglycerine was poured into the ed ges of the. door.... When everything was ready, a fuse was lighted and all left the car. A terrible explosion followed. The door of the safe was~blo^n=^ff=^nlI=^liuT"led the car. The the was blown c through the side of robbers then re-entered car, Fashionable Wedding at Three Forks. Three Forks, April 18.���[Special to the, .Tribune].���Arthur Mullen and Mrs. Ellen Burdick were married here today 'by Rev. father Qote.

Champagne was drunk all day to the health of the bride and, groom. Infantry Recruits Are Scarce. London, April 23.���The annual returns of recruiting for 1900 shows a total enlistment of 98,301, against 42,700 in 1S99. The recruiting for the infantry is regarded as unsatisfactory. In spite of tlie impetus of the war and the reduction in the standard of height, the number of enlisted infantrymen is below that of 1899, the recruits generally having preferred'the" "ahowierbrttuches of the service. m 4. 1. 9. 9. m m m m 9. �� 9. m 9. 9. 9. 9. 9. �� 9* m 9. * 9. 9. 9. m 9. 9. 9. 9.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-24 |
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. |
