C, MONDAY MORNING, MAY G, 1001 PRICE FIVE CENTS CRANBROOK VERSUS NELSON AN EXCITING FOOTBALL GAME PLAYED YESTERDAY. Visitors Defeated, by Eleven to Five, but Kicked Rugby Fair and Square. The return game between Cranbrook and Nelson was played yesterday under favorable circumstances. The weather was all that could be desired, the attendance was large and enthusiastic and the players were in good form. Saturday was the origiual fixture for the match, but owing to a few hours' delay in making steamboat connections fche Cranbrook men did not arriv6 in time, so that the contest was reluctantly postponed until yesterday. The constitution of the team is pretty much the same as when the players last faced the ball in the East Kootenay burg a few weeks ago. On that occasion, however, they had befcter ground to work over, with the result tliat very little blood was observed to flow. Yesterday the ground was dry and hard, aud almost every fall meant at least a skin abrasion. Sticking plaster was in great requisition and tlie services of the medical men among^the spectators^ were more than once called upon. Hut there was nothing very serious in the accident line, and nob one of the players was knocked out. True, there were cases of shattered teeth und the infliction of accidental wonuds which under other circumstances might be accepted as bad conduct marks. In football undor . fche Rugby rules everything goes, und the man who enters fche contest knows what he has to expect. Of fche two teams, the Nelson men certainly, had tho advantage of weight and in a scrimmage tliis counts.- Thoy also' showed befcter combination- work.. The game started punctually at S-.'iO, and Cranbrook winning the toss, played against the sun. The teams lined up as follows: Cranbrook���Full-back, A 13 Feu-' wick; three-quarters, P. Herehimer, N. A. Wallinger, M. A. Beale, T. Fen wick; half-backs, M. J. McDonald, II. IJ. Haines; forward-!, M. M. Robinson, A'. K. Watt, M. B. Edwards, A. C. McDonald, It. Wilii- mott, Quille and Holmes. Nelsou ��� Full-back, F. Lynes ; three-quarters, W. R. Seatle, O. Nase, F. A. Macrae, A. Jeffs; halfbacks, G. C. llodge, F. Pui leu; forwards, E. V. Thompson. A. V. Ma- ��� sou, A. F. Sargeant, T. II. Forbes; C . B. Winter, G. Sbillwell, aud II. Houston. Ffoin-the-moment- tho-ball���was - set in motion the home team showed a lively pace aud gave the Cran- brooks to understand that if they were to win, the battle would be a tough one. After some very pretty passing between the Nelson three- quarters, Macrae secured a try, but the place kick failed. From this point Cranbrook began to stir up, and a more evenly contested game was the result. With the visitors working the ball up the ground, Beale secured ifc from a scrimmage and put a line :fcry which Avas converted into a goal amid loud applause. Just before half-time tho Nelson threesuarfcers again gofc in some good work, whieh ended with Nase securing a second try, but the kick was once more a failure. In the second half Cranbrook appeared to tire, and the Nelson men had it pretty much their own way, Cranbrook defending but never looking daiigerous. For a long time, however, they managed to keep their own line uncrossed until from a dribble, by the forwards Houston secured a third try. The place kick was taken by Lynes, and ���although at a very difficult angle, he sent the ball home, thus giving Nelson tlie victory���11 to 5, on 1 goal and 2 tries to 1 goal. Cranbrook played well but their forwards worked badly iu the scrimmage and failed to gain control of the ball, while the Nelson men "heeled" out, aud were well supported. Macrae and Nase did splendid work for the home team, and Wallinger and Beale for the visitors. _��� . Saratoga Lake Disaster. Ballston, New York, May 5.��� Farquhar McLennan, aged 24, and Charles M, Arnold, aged 17, em ployees of the Idlewild Paper mill, were drowned Saturday in Saratoga lake four miles east of this village. The two left their homes in this village early in the morning to spend the forenoon fishing. They rode their wheels to the lake and procured a boat from J. J. Hay- ward. They went on the water about 8 a. m. and that was the last seen of them alive. About 4 p. m. Harry Earle and Beecher Saunders, lads from this village, discovered a large flatboat bottom upward about a quarter of a mile out from Stony point apparently anchored. They informed Hayward and he recognized it as the boat Arnold aud McLennan had taken. Search was then made by dragging the lake and about 10:30 p.m. McLennan's body was recovered. Search with grap- ling hooks was continued for Arnold's body until noon today without success. The waves were then running so high in the wind that it became dangerous to pursue it and it was temporarily suspended. Both were expert swimmers. A young man named Ilogman from Saratoga says he was fishing on the lake Saturday forenoon aud saw the two men in a boat at a distance. About 11 o'clock the wind blew so hard that he rowed ashore, noticing that tlie men were not then on the lake aud thought they had gone to land. Coroner McCarthy has the matter in charge .and sent McLennan's body to his mother's house. He was a member of the I.O.O.F and unmarried. JACKSONVILLE HOLOCAUST Americans Leave Pekin.

Property Loss Will Reach Several Millions and 10,000 Citizens Are Rendered Homeless. Jacksonville, May 5.���A devastated city greeted the smoke-enshrouded sun today. The fire which broke out at noon on Friday, and was aided in its work by a southwest gale, spent its force by 9 o'clock last night. The damage is enormous. One hundred and forty- eight blocks were swept by the flames, and as far as known seven persons lost their lives. A report was in circulation this morning that a party of 20 persons, driven to the docks along the river, had been forced to the water and that all attempts at rescue by boats had' been futile. The river is being searched. The losses by the fire will not be known for a week. The path of the flames was thirteen blocks wide and nearly two miles long. Practically all old Jacksonville was destroyed, nothing having been left but a few suburbs and the riverside, the most fashionable part of the city. It is believed the fire "was the largest on record in proportion to the size of the city. The street car service has been at a complete standstill for the day. Last .night the city was in darkness. The electric light wires were interrupted and the gas plant destroyed. A conservative estimate places the number of homeless people in the city at 10,000. Most of. these spent the night in the parks, on the docks aud on barges, while some slept beside the few belongings they had managed to save'from the general wreck. The board of trade and other commercial bodies had meetings this morning to take action looking to the alleviation of the suffering. It was expected an appeal to the people of the United States, calling for aid, would be issued during the day. Leading business men and insurance agents estimate the loss of property at from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000. The St. James hotel, which was destroyed, had been closed since April 19th. The loss on this building is $175,000. Among the buildings destroyed are the Auditorium, board of trade, St. James hotel, Windsor hotel, the Seminole club, the Bailey metropolis, the city hall and market, the Gardiner, the largest officebuilding -in"thecity,"aud"the"Hubbard building. Dr. H, R. Dean, a prominent physician, has reported to the police the loss of his two children, Helen and Francis. He believes Helen will be found but that Francis was burned to death in his office where they had sought safety. Dr. Dean fainted in the street after an all night's search, and in falling was seriously injured. W. B. Barnett, president of the First-National bank of Jacksonville, also fainted ,during the'fire. He fell into some smouldering ruins and was severely ' burned before ������ resejued. Tiie terrific strain, adde'd^to the warm weather, is .telling,'ron-., many, of those who are actiy,e in rescue work. A number of cases of prostrations were reported. Mayor Bowdon said to the Associated Press, representative tbis morning: "-Say to the world that the loss to Jacksonville is greater than ever before inflicted by fire upon a city of the south. But her wealth survives in her people. I estimate our loss in property at fifteen million dollars. There is no hint of lawlessness; our people of every race and condition have shown the most helpful spirit to each other, and I cannot find words of commendation strong enough to express my admiration of the work done. The progress of the fire was so rapid, and the heat so intense, that it was only the helpfulness and obedience shown that prevented a terrible loss of life. I have no doubt the meeting called by the municipal authorities and board of trade will be largely attended, and steps will be taken to deal with the situation in the most effective way." Money is pouring in from all Florida cities by wire and express. The Times-Union and Citizen has headed a fund which is growing rapidly. Ifc is admitted generally that the situation is a serious one, and that help will be needed from the outside. Savannah, May 5.���J. A. Ferris, conductor of the Southern railway train .number 36, worked for three hours in the flames, and saw much of the suffering and desolation wrought by their devasting fury. " Practically the entire residence section of the town is iu ruins" said he, " and of the, business section only four or five blocks remain. Thousands of* people are homeless, and.in want, and many of them are'leaving the' eity. During the time the fire was raging the entire population ofi Jacksonville was abroad. Most of. them N were engaged fighting flames-or in striving to remove to a place of safety their belongings. Every wagon aud cart that could be found - was pressed into servics^ and these heavily leaden with'J- all sorts of furniture and personal property, were passing in a long' line across the river. The houses and barns burned like tinder, anda scarcity of water increased the difficulties of the firemen. I worked for three hours doing all I could to save property. When ruyj duty compelled me to leave the city the fire seemed to have about' burned itself out. The misery that has ��� beeu wrought passes description. Jacksonville, May 5.���W. W. Cleveland, on whose premises the fire originated and who is one of the heaviest losers, dropped dead from excitement. A stalwart negro carrying a trunk on his head from a burning building went crazy" from horror of the situation. Ho- ran around in a circle with the trunk ou his head until he sank exhausted and died. Women ran through -the streets tearing" their, hair and clothes, and in several in-, stances had almost denuded them-' selves when they were caught by. friends and' led to places'.. of.' safety. Horses hitched to'trucks could not be cut quickly enough.vand' many ran wild through the demoralized, throng., At'night..tlie-military was'1 ordered oii'fc to' guard the- household goods piled high in the streets., Jacksonville, Fla,' May 5.��� The hunger of 10,000 homeless people was satisfied today upon the arrival of the relief trains- and boats bringing provisions' from neighboring towns. A commissary was established in the center of the city and thousands were fed during the day. The relief fund is growing hourly and every mail brings offers of assistance. Today an order was promulgated under martial law requiring all merchants whose stores were spared by the conflagration to open their doors and to sell to all who asked. It is estimated that 3000 persons have left the city aud every outgoing train is crowed with refugees. To- _morr_ow_the_Times-Union-and���Citizen will establish the total property loss at $11,000,000. Rumors of loss of loss of life are on every hand tonight and the river has been closely watched today. Many persons have confirmed the report of loss of life at the Market street wharf. Martial law is being rigidly enforced and the town is quiet tonight. Russian Operations in Manchuria. St. Pktkrshukg, May 5.���The papers have published details of the recent operations in'Manchuria. It appears that the north Manchurian division under general Zerpitski fought over twenty engagements, losing altogether 24 men killed and 7 officers and 01 men wounded, two officers having died of their wounds. A quantity of guns and rifles were captured. The total result of the operations is that of three bands which at the beginning of the/year menaced the peace of Manchuria two have been annihilated according to the Russky Invalida and a third after sustaining a number of defeats is now being pursued by the Russian division. CHINA ANXIOUS TO SETTLE Legislative Proceedings.

The railway subsidy bill will be the main question in the house tomorrow. LONDON, 5.���There are further indications that the coal owners and merchants are waivering in regard to the advisability of urging the miners to close the pits.

Conger, who has lately returned to this country furnishes an article on tha Chinese situation which will appear in the coming number of Leslie's Weekly. Mr. Conger says in part: "Unless matters have changed very materially since I left China, six weeks ago, the powers will reach some conclusion iu regard to China very soon. China is perfectly willing to do anything that the powers agree upon���that is anything within her ability to accomplish. Of course the powers must not demand an indemnity whieh China will be physically unable to raise. It is not certain that finally some nation may not de- .mand territory of China in lieu of a money indemnitjr. It is perfectly certain that if any nationdoes make this demand the partition of China will follow and this will inevitably cause much dissension between the powers. Personally I am very much" in favor of tiie continued existence of China as an empire governed by her own emperor. It will save us and the rest of the world lots of trouble if the integrity of the empire is maintained. The empress dowager has done much harm. She is not, however, entirely to blame for "the Boxer uprising. Among her counselors aud near to . her were many men of- strong anti- foreign feeling, and she listened, only too willingly to what they said, her owiivprejudices coinciding with' theirs.. As far, as; the punishment of; ���the"-Chinese "officials is "concerned, China-has already done all that she could, lu some cases officials whose punishment was demanded were moro powerful than the government, and then of course the punishment could not be enforced. Except in those cases everything was done as the powers demanded." 64,000 NEW SETTLERS. Spokesman Review. The St. Paul Pioneer Press estimates the westward movement of homeseekers this season afc 04,000. The figure includes all passing through Sfc. Paul for Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. "Immigration agents speak witli pleasurable satisfaction of the per- _manent-character-of���the-immigra- tiou this spring," says the Press. "Many people have made the western trip principally for the purpose of investigating^ but less than 10 per cent of fche travel went through on return tickets. The substantial result of the spring immigration will be about 5S,00U new settlers in the west and northwest. These come from Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, East and West Virginia and numerous eastern, central and southern states and are solid, substantial citizens. With tlie westward movement has also been a large sale of railroad lands." To tho etsimate of the Pioneer Press of the St. Paul gateway immigration can be added that of the Union Pacific, Rio Grande Western and Denver & Rio Grande, said to have been in many cases nearly as large as that of the two northern roads. The total would be well up to 100,000 new settlers for the country west of the Missouri. W. D. O'Brien, who succeeded F. E. Elmeudorf as general director of the immigration movement in the interests of the Spokane chamber of commerce and the inland empire, is home after over a mouth's work at St. Paul. " The work has been decidedlg successful." he said yesterday afternoon, "and the venture was certainly a paying one. "The wave of immigration that went through St. Paul was tremendous. Homeseekers were of all classes and conditions. They responded readily to the approaches of the ' representatives, but the nature of the work had to be explained anew every week." Mr. O'Brien is authority for the statement that the excursionists to come on the first and third Tuesdays of May and June will b looked after iu local interests'as far as the distribution of literature among them is concerned. This work will be done by the news companies with whom there is an agreement. The homeseekers' trains of May and June will leave Chicago, coming through St. Paul. Dates are May 7 and 21, June 4 and 18, one day to be added in each case for the . Sc. Paul time table and two days more for the Spokane end. "Amelia's Mansion" Sold. Salt Lake, May 5.���The Gardo house, known as "Amelia's Mansion," built by Brigham.Young for his favorite wife, Ameliti Folsom Young, and for years occupied by her, today passed out of the hands of the church. The property was sold to Colonel F. E. S. Holmes of this city and probably will be occupied by him as a residence. The historic mansion, which is just opposite the Bee Hive, was built in the days when palatial residences were a novelty in Salt Lake. It was' vacated' by Amelia Folsom Young after the death of Brigham Young and for a time was occupied by the late President Woodruff. The property was sold in the name of President Snow as trustee for the church. HOPELESSLY OVERMATCHED BOER COMMANDOS ARE GRADUALLY BEING DECIMATED.

Dallas, Texas, May 5.���The repository of the Southern Rock Island Plow Company here was destroyed by fire last night aud the loss is estimated at about $250,000 with probably $150,000 insurance. The fire was caused by lightning. Tlie Sy verson Lumber Company of Chehalis, Washington, is a new firm tliat is commencing the erection of a sawmill a mile west of Adna, on the South Bend branch of the Northern Pacific railway. The firm comprises H. Sy verson of Portland and C. Wilson of Chehalis. Tlie mill will cut 30,000 feet daily. After careful inquiries, the German foreign office empowers the Associated Press to assert that Germany has not acquired a coaling station on the island of Margarita, off the coast of Venezuela through the agency of the German cruiser Vinita. The contract has been awarded at Missoula, Montana, for the Clark flour mill for $9250. The mill is to be 50 feet by 32 aud four stories high. New York, May dispatch to the New York Tribune dated London, 1 a.m.,' I. N.

There can be no exultation over the results of a' conflict in which fche . Boers are hopelessly overmatched," and the English press does not attempt to exagerate the importance of insignificant incidents nor .even take note of what is going on. It is simply regarded as a bit of'. rough work which must' be' put' through by mechanical means. "' Cattle, horses and ammunition are now scarce among the Boers" and this is a clear indication that the end is drawing near. It is probable that the commandos in the field do not exceed more - than two or three thousand men all told/ and that the bands of guerrilla*", are not over two hundred strong.*; Neither Botha nor Deweb has beeu, actively employed for a longtime!

The moral'drawn by these martinets is that" con- ' scription under a ^modified form must be introduced ' or the militia will be decimated., This is practical evidence that Mr. Brod- erick's scheme is regarded by the army as a half way house to conscription. The weakest point in the scheme has been discovered by a group of imperialist; unionists, who intend to force debate upon it. ��� This is thafc the war office doe's nothing to develop the auxiliary forces of the colonies, whieh have been of inestimable value during the war. These imperialists hold that there ought to be a conference in London of military representa-, tive3 of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Natal and Cape Colony, fog^ the-"adoption of" measures for the recruitment and organization of a permanent colonial, force for the defence of the empire. Gilbert Parker is taking an active interest in the matter and will probably move an amendment at an early date. %A- 77^ '..;���>��� .\ ������&_ '���'m.

WASHINGTON, 5. -- Father Rooker, secretary of the papal legation at Washington, confirms fche report that he has been designated chamberlain to the pope. The appointment; carries the title of monsignor, and renders its bearer a member of the pontifical house, but it will not have the effect of taking father Rooker from Washington. CHICAGO, 5.���President Fish, of the Illinois Central railway, last night, after a conference with W. J. Hanrahau, vice president and general manager, issued a circular announcing a pension plan for the' forty thousand employees of the company. The plan is more liberal than has been adopted by any other road. The company starts with a gift of $125,000, and in addition will each year make an appropriation of an amount not to exceed $100,000. NEW YORK, 5. ��� Some fifty cases of general Frey's loot from China, including fche imperial bronze lions confiscated by the French government have reached Pekin, addressed to the French minister, pays a Herald dispatch. The returned loot was paraded through the streets and stored at headquarters. The preliminary to the formal act of restitution caused an immense sensation among th�� Chinese, but they entertained small hope thafc the example of Franco will be followed. MUSKEGON, Michigan, 5.-Four little children were burned to death yesterday in a farm house, six miles from the city. The victims were Thomas Wertman, aged .'>; John Wertman, aged i; Jennie Koor, aged i years, and Hennecheg Koor, aged 8 months. Mrs. Wertman who was alone in the house with the children, went out to the well for a pail of water, aud when she returned found the house in flames. The fire burned so rapidly she could not enter the house to aid the children and they perished. UPTON'S BOAT IS SPEEDY Eaces Away From Its Bival. Southampton, May 4. ���r While the challenger, Shamrock II, was preparing today for her first sail the American line steamer St. Louis passed her. There were a number of Americans on board who closely scanned the challenger.. On passing the yacht the steamer slowed down and saluted. The crews of the Erin and the Shamrock, who were engaged in their respective duties, cheered the St. Louis heartily. During the forenoon the breeze steadied and hardened until a fiue crisp northeaster was blowing sufficient to l'aise the white caps. The jibs and stays of the challenger were hoisted at an early hour, and when the word was given to raise the mainsail, the speed with which it was hoisted from the deck, demonstrated the swiftness of the appliances adopted. . The sail is made of dark sea island cotton, and fully justifies the expectation of its being the largest on record. The cup challenger started 6a her first trial "spin"* this;,'morning : under excellent conditions. The sun shone brightly and warm, and a' steady northeasterly breeze was blowing. Keen interest is shown in the tiial, and a large number o'E yachts and steamers, crowded with passengers, accompanied the challenger. The Shamrock IT. started shortly afterwards, with sheets well off, her best point of sailing, but when they got together and fairly started, the challenger commenced to pull out in fine style, and had a good lead as the boats came abreast of -Cal- shot castle. The distance of the spin was short, but the 'manner in whicli the boat sailed suggested that the Shamrock I. had little chance of proving a serious opponent in the trial races. __ , __ __ ,_ __ ,_ ,��� __. w��. <*��. ��^ .<����..-����.. ��^ jar . &0 .*#*.00 ./90. 0& .#0.00 .00.00.0f> .(&? .0* .e&W .&0. 0?'gi0, .'"a**^ -J2&-JS; '^'^ ���JS^St ���.T8L,2fr 'nS?'^ 'M&a*l*��& l*&*^ -���� '&��.'

SALISBURY MAY NOT RESIGN In Return For This De Giers Would Consent to Sweeping Reductions in the Powers Indemnities. London, May 5���Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times, from Pekin on Thursday, says: "M.'De Giers has addressed a letter to the financial committee of the ministers of.the powers, urging the economical advantages of giving to China a conjoint government guarantee, to enable her to raise a loan with which to pay the indemnity. He argues that in order to pay ��05,000,000, China will need to issue a loan of ��75,000,000 at 4 or ah per cent, He asserts that if the total indemnity is * reduced to ��40,000,000, as the United States suggested, China with an international guarantee, would only need a loan of �� 13,000,000. lie suggests that the loan could be secured on the customs, or by an increase of the import duties. The letter" is instructive as showing Russia's willingness to interfere with the imperial privileges, such as the Manchurian pensions aud tlie grain tribute. Ou the* other hand it shows Russia's willingness to throw the burden upon the foreign import trade, iu .-'which she has practically no interest. Tlie letter further shows Russia's apparent readiness to join Great 'Britain and the United States in a reduction ot indemnity in return for a conjoint government guarantee. Pekin, May 5.���-A majority of the foreign ministers will leave Pekin next week for the western hills to spend the summer, taking with them military guards for their protection, their intention being to come to Pekin for the purpose of holdingmeetings and attend- ing to necessary business. Missionary Owen, of the London mission, says all reports received by his mission from the provinces show ��� them to be in a deplorable state. Discontent and intense hatred of foreigners prevail, and worse conditions than existed before tlie siege are threatened. The departure of the troops, he predicts, will _be"signialized=by"{irmassacre���o father native Christians. "Those eligible to see the facts and reporting otherwise to their governments," says Mr. Owen, "are as wilfully blind as before." GERMANY'S CABINET CRISIS No Room for Independent Men. Berlin, May 5.���In well informed quarters the representative of the Associated Press hears the sensational news that emperor William wants count Zedlis Truetscher to become Prussian minister of the interior. The count is now chief president of Hesse-Lassau, in Cas- sal, and was formerly Prussian minister of education. It was under his administration that the famous school law was framed at the instance of the emperor. This law, however, was dropped eventually, because of the intense indignation it aroused in Liberal circles, whereupon the count resigned. He is still a great favorite with the emperor, the conservatives and the centrists. , His being summoned here is generally interpreted as a sign that re-actionism will reign in the cabinet. Count Von Buelow, it is considered certain, will avoid everything that might offend the centre and the conservative parties, and no change in the system will be inauqurated since the- government needs both tlie conservatives and centrists in the reichstag. The Associated Press hears further thafc baron Von 'Rhein-Baden, minister of the interior, will succeed Dr. Von Miquel as finance minister. Theodore Mueller, national liberal HIS HEALTH. IS GRADUALLY IMPROVING. Parliamentary Predictions and General Criticisms hy Political Prophets. New York, May 5.���-Lord Salisbury's health is reported to be slowly mending. The . members of his family in office are striving to create the impression that his courage and interest in public life has been revived, and that he,has no intention of retiring. He will not lack their encouragement, for their own importance as ministerial figures depends upon his retention in office. The word has been passed around the government benches that the prime minister will remain in public life until the coronation aud that Mr. Chamberlain will not leave the colonial office un til the South African question is settled. Old Tories are greatly relieved and are grateful to sir Michael Hicks-Beach for holding his ground and resis'tiug Mr. Chamberlain's influence. They assert . that Mr, Chamberlain could not keep the majority together if he were in command iu the commons, and that Mr. Balfour could hot be spared from the leadership. Political experts agree that "snaviter in mode" is more important than "fortier in re" when a large body of followers needs to be kept under discipline and a faction-rent opposition to be coaxed into good behaviour^ Mr. Chamberlain is a hard fighter, but is not tactful. Mr. Balfour's amiability oils the wheels of legislation. He can pay a great compliment to Mr. John Redmond for the sake of being relieved of a vexatious obstruction, and he never hurts any friend or foe without privately expressing his regret. The liberal leadership in the commons has been deficient in sagacity. Sir William Vernon Harcourt's assault upon the coal tax has not been well supported and sir Henry Campbell-Banuerman haa made a "tacticalTmstakFl^ of censure respecting the scheme of army reform, and in converting the military reorganization into a party question. It would have been better if he had allowed Win- stou Spencer Churchill to move an amendment and had lent his aid. Mr. Churchill will now be compelled to drop his' amendment and all independent critics of the war office un the government side will walk out of the house when the party motion of censure is voted upon. Sir Henry-Campbell Bannerman lacks political instinct. Foreign affairs remain stagnant. There are rumors from Rome of the impending resignations of Cardinals Rampolla and Ledochowski, but these are probably whiffs of idle gossip. v Deserved to be Killed. Little Falls, New York, May 5.���John Wallace of the town of Warren was arrested last night by sheriff Strobel for killing Benjamin Hoyt, who had killed Wallace's ���wife. Wallace was taken to Herkimer jail this morning and makes the plea that the killing of Hoyt was in self defence, as Hoyt had drawn a revolver on him. Tenement House Horror. Chicago, May 5.���Seven persons were burned to death while asleep early today in a tenement house at South Chicago. A freight train of 05 cars which was standing in front of the building and which it is claimed the crew refused to move blocked the firemen, who were unable to get near the building until it was too late. The train crew were arrested and are being held without bail. SAVINCS BANK DEPARTMENT. THK CURKENT KATK OK IMTKKKST ALLOWED. Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street. J. M. LAY, Manager.

The Miner staff is clearing out. The editor, manager and reporter, all leave this'week. What then? A childrens'entertainment will be held at the opera house on Wednesday next, which promises to be a success.' The medical men report the health of the city as decidedly good. "Disgustingly quiet," as they put it. The park was very liberally patronized yesterday, the electric tram cars being crowded on many of the trips. There was a special service for young people at Emmanuel Baptist; church yesterday evening. Music was made an important feature. ' ^ The sidewalk opposite the Houston block and Queen's hotel was finished on Saturday, being raised to the curb level. It is a great improvement.

As the date approaches for the Burns-Goff contest interest iu the event increases, so-that on Friday night there will not be a vacant seat*in the opera house. A 24-foot ring has been arranged for on the stage and all tlie scenery removed so that spectators may enjoy a good view from any part of the house. Both men are in splendid form and are working hard, so that a really scientific exhibition may bo looked for. On Saturday there was a big crowd at the fire hall, where GoJf practices. Among others who put on the gloves with the big fellow was Billy Armstrong, champion lightweight of British Columbia, and some splendid sparring was enjoyed. The heavy and lightweight will again have the gloves on this afternoon'. Burns and his trainer have a daily bout in the garret of the Hume hotel, and many favored spectators visit the apartment.

STORES AT jsrEnnQoisr KZ-A-SLO 3^.3STIDOI>T EARLY CLOSING IN NELSON Tha Experiment Not a Decided Success. The early closing in Nelson has not proved to be tbe great success which was claimed. On- Thursday last the stores closed their doors at 12 o'clock noon, having dulyjnotified their customers that their orders could not be filled after that hour. However, the city is admittedly the headquarters for trading, and scores of people from outside points were in oh Thursday to make their purchases. It was an annoying experience to them to ' find every house of business closed, thus necessitating a return .trip or staying over night./Such inconvenience as this is riot calculated to. improve the trade of Nelson. Several other points are rivals for trade, and anything calculated to divert it should be avoided. It now transpires that: a great -many local merchants were induced to sign, the early closing- agreement somewhat under"-'false pretenses. They wereanformed tliat others in the same line of business were enthusiastic in the cause, and hence expressed a willingness to conform with the general feeling. ,v.Oii comparing- notes, however, it is found tliat there was not that unanimity represented, and how there is a feeling to revise, tbe plan.,. It is . contended that the store clerks can get an evening off any time ,.they wish, and that the general closing of the stores one afternoon each week ,is detrimental to trade... Business at present in Nelson is not too .brisk, and even a half day's suspension increases tlie strain. The ,early .closing movement ig not likely, to last.. It is not business when, a .man has to refuse to,-supply;-an old customer, with goods simply because his store is supposed ,to be closed during business hours. . Already a few complaints have been registered on this score—a few;-.more will kill the early closing movement. ,in Nelson. Competition is top keen nowadays .to-turn, .a.,-'cash 'customer from the. door,. arid if ouljsidei s realize that business is suspended in Nelson for one afternbon in Ithe week they are likely to^'giye'the :city a wide berth on that particular day. Can Nelson afford this? (TheReeling is that the early closing. movement was forced, and; that it is premature. PERSONAL. FISHING TACKLE IS NOT A NEW VENTURE WITH US.

Irish emigration is still on the increase, the official figures1 for last year, which were recently issued, showing tlie total to be 8347 in excess of the number recorded in 1899, says the London Express. Of the 47,107 who left Erin in 1900 to seek better fortune elsewhere all but 1 SI9 were natives of the country, 23,295 being men and over 20,000 unmarried women and girl?. The Irish-born emigrants exceeded the previous year's total by over 4000, the non-native emigrants falling off by 700.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-05-06 |
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. |
