C, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 3, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS SAME OLD MINE-OWNERS NOT CONTENT WITH PROFITS OF 27 PER CENT. England's Chancellor of the Exchequer Loses Patience With Their Blue Ruin Cries. London, May 2.���There was a large attendance in the house of commons today, in anticipation ot the discussion of new export tax on coal. The government is standing firm, and is taking strong precautions to secure a majority. The full house and galleries had to wait until nearly 6 o'clock for tlie beginning of tlie coal tax debate. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Liberal, led with a severe, almost violent, arraignment of the government. He said the tax would throw the coal trade into chaos and confusion. It recklessly disregarded existing contracts, and was a most unbusinesslike way of dealing with a great trade. It was an extraordinary and vexatious piece of bungling. It was nonsense to say tlie foreigner would pay tlie tax because he would not; do without coal. The government of Italy had answered by taking coal from America instead of this country. Thejtrade of France was equally divided by tliis country, Germany and Belgium. The chancellor of tlie exehpquer, sir Michael Hicks-Beach, interrupting said : "AVe are beating others." ���'Then go on beating them," said sir William Harcourt, "why throw a shilling into "tlie scale against this country. Sir William cou- . tended that it was class legislation, and that the tax would ultimately come out of tho miners' wages. The chancellor of the exchequer admitted that tho -tax, like every tax, was an obstruction to the trade. The real question was, could the export trade in coal bear the tax? ,It_,epuld. .En'glish coal was of a high quality, there was much of it, and it could not be got in any other country. Thus, to a large extent it was free from competition. The chancellor submitted masses, of statistics which he has summarized as showing that 225,000,000 tons were mined in 1900, on which, after deducting ��18,000,- 000 iii: wages'.more than in 1897, left the coal owners a net profit of ��29,000,000 ou a capital of ��110,000,000. He had some difficulty in keeping his patience when deputations talked to him about the unprofitable condition of trade. He had proposed the tax for merely one year and it would be on those who were able to bear it. There was considerable excitement on the Cardiff coal exchange today. - Tire^pauci t jTof=f FeeTJoaMffd isjJbselr to selling at any price. Some firms are suspending their charging operations, pending developments. Lord Cranborne, the '" foreign under secretaryj said rumors have reached the government from various sources of the intention of Germany to increase the duties on steel and 'other goods. The government was alive to the importance of such information; but, in tlie absence of definite knowledge of Germany's intentions, the ministry was unable to make any statement in reply to the members suggestion of withdrawing free trade from Germany. The chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, replying to Mr. Chauning, (Liberal) said of the war loan ��30,000,000 had been allotted as follows: To the Roth- tihild'8 ��11,000,000, J. P. Morgan & Co., ��10,000,000, and the bank of England ��9,000,000. Will Earn Spending Money. New Youk, May 2.���Cornell men in large numbers will be seen at the Pan-American exposition this summer, says a Tribune special from Ithaca. They will push wheeled chairs for tired sightseers, act as exposition policemen, become Waiters for the summer, run soda water fouuteuns, act as clerks in stands of various sorts, or assist exhibitors. A representative of the exposition authorities has signed contracts with more than two hundred students. The Tobacco Trusts Deal. New York, May 2.���It is announced, says a special to the Times from Tampa, Florida, that negotiations, which have been pending for three months between the American Cigar Company, a branch of the American Tobacco Company, and the Havana-American Cigar Company, owning the largest clear Havana factories in the United States, have been completed in Tampa. All the factories of the latter company will pass into the possession of the tobacco combine. The Havana-American Company is a recently formed consolidation. It owns clear Havana cigar factories at Tampa, Key West, Chicago, New Orleans, New York and Bingham- ton. It is capitalized at ten million dollars. . EMPEROR WILLIAM IS MAD -, Over Canal Bill's Failure. Berlin, May 2.���The chancellor, count von Buellow, reported per-' sonally to emperor William yesterday, and complained of the intentional delaying of the canal bill by the majority of the government, and thereupon gave up further negotiations regarding the bill for the time being. The resignation of Dr. Von.Miquel, the finance minister, is now considered likely to be presented in the immediate future. Emperor William and the Prussian cabinet adhere to their intention to build tlie canal. The correspondent of the Associated Press understands that the purpose of tomorrow's joint session of the diet and house of lords is to close the session as expressing emperor William's displeasure at the failure of the canal bill in committee. The Lokal Anzeiger learns that the prorogation will be accompanied by a strongly worded declaration of the ministry. oeneral Von Hahuke, until recently chief of the emperor's military cabinet, has been appointed governor of Berlin. McCormick Clue a Trick. Washington, May 2.���The Washington clue in,the Willie McCor- .miek kidnaping case is about exploded. The detectives have practically concluded that the slip of paper, and the mysterious coincidence by which it came into their possession, are the result of connivance between parties in. New York, who had access to the McCormick home, and others. The gypsies who figured so largely in the matter have been driven from Alexandria county and are on their way to Pittsburg. Patrick Proceedings Adjourned. New York, May 2.���Albert T. Patrick, David L. Short and Morris Meyers, under indictment for the forgery of the will of the late millionaire, William M. Rice, were arraigned today before recorder Goff. Patrick was arraigned on the charge of murder in the first de- gree for causingjihejteath^j^Ricj^ "ItoberOITMoore, forthe defendants, said he desired to enter a demurrer to the indictment for the murder, and asked time to prepare it. Recorder Goff adjourned the proceedings until tomorrow. No plea was entered. Negro Murderers Convicted. Philadelphia, May 2.���Amos Sterling, colored, was today convicted of murder in the first degree for the killing of Roy Wilson, the young University of Pennsylvania professor. Professor Wilson was beaten to death with an iron bar on a street in West Philadelphia on May 19th last, and afterwards robbed. Two other negroes, Henry Ivory and Charles Perry, have also been convicted, and are under sentence to be hanged for complicity in the murder. Chinese Indemnity Cut Down. Berlin, M ty 2.���The statement that the totfil indemnity to be demanded of China amounts to ��05,- 000,000 has been officially confirmed here. Tliis amount includes all private claims. It is believed here that if China will now undertake to pay this sum in indemnity the evacuation of Pechili province can begin immediately. The Constitution's Measurements. New York, May 2.-���The Com- mei'cial Advertiser says the following measurements and description of the new Herresehoffcup defender Constitution, which is to be launched next Monday night, are from authoritative sources. The Constitution, it is learned, is of the samo over-all length as the Columbia, 132 feet, and also of the same length ou the water line, 87 ieet 7 inches. DUNSMUIR'S CABINET WOBBUNO It Now Looks as if Jim Hill Will Be Permitted to Do Business on His Own Terms. The Legislature Mig'ht Endorse the Railway Bill and then Defeat the Government. Victoria, May 2��� [Special to the Tribune].���The only business of importance during the afternoon session was on the report of. Martin's champerty bill. Martin moved to strike out certain words in section 2, which, if they remain, practically kill the bill. The house refused to strike them out by a vote of 10 to 17. At the night session the minister of finance moved thti second reading of the railvvay subsidy bill. He said the bill would be amended iu committee, but failed to state in what way. This caused dissent. The opposition, led by Martin, favor the bill as introduced; but Smith Curtis wants it amended. The Helfacken bolters also want it amended, and Oliver, Tatlow and Hay ward pressed the finance minister for particulars. He was between the devil and the deep sea, and for a time refused to state iu what way the bill would be amended, and the l premier, was equally opposed to" making any such committal. For a time it looked as if the minister of finance would chuck up the bill,rather than make definite statements as to amendments, but he finally made them, and the debate was adjourned till Monday on motion of Martin. The bill would, undoubtedly pass as introduced, but the V., V. & E. crowd, of whicli Helmcken is the leader in the house, are determined to amend it to suit the V., V. & E. subsidy hunters, and the government is afraid that if they leave the party, the party will have to rely on Martin for support in the future.' Such a contingency is not relished by some of the goyernment supporters, and the result will be that Helmcken and his bolterfollow- ing will get what they want, no matter what the people may lose on the deal. V., V. & E. wire pullers and lobbyists are as numerous as flies oil a molasses barrel, and it looks as if they would carry the works. of the nine-year-old Rosenfield boy was taken from the river near Port Snelling. Rosenfield is alleged to have abducted the children when they were with -their mother at Minneapolis, secured a rig and driven with them to the river, where all are supposed to havo been drowned. There is little difference in the draught, the Columbia drawing 19 feet 7 inches, and- the Constitu-, tion a little less. The Constitution, however, is wider in the midships section by a fodt and a half over the' Columbia. This is greatly to the advantage of the new boat when she is heeled over. 1 Gomez Out of the Race. New York, May 2.���The Tribune says: From a statement made last night by general Domingo Mendez Capote, chairman of the Cuban commission, which is.now in the city, it appears evident that Maximo Gomez will not be a candidate for the presidency of the new Cuban republic. Instead T. Estrada Palma, who was the head of the Cuban junta in this city during,the war, is.the .favorite.-candidate .for. this, oflice. The three men who have been mentioned for the presidency, according to Senor Capote, are generals Gomez, Palma and Maso. With Gomez out of the race the contest now lies between Palma aud Maso, and according to those who are familiar with the Cuban situation the nomination and election of general Palma is practically assured. Both senor Palma and senor Maso were leaders in the war against Spain for Cuban independence and thus have the support of the common people. But general Palma is also said to have the support of the moneyed and industrial classes and would prove a more acceptable man. Chili's Conscientious President. Valparaiso, May 2.���President Errazuriz has issued a decree in which he declares that important personal motives prevent him from fulfilling his constitutional functions until after next June. He explains in a letter directed to the governor of the presidency that in, view bf the fact that senor Jerman Riesco, a relative of his, is a candidate for jthe presidency, and of the disability imposed upon the president by republican principles when a relative is a candidate, he would send a message to congress soliciting leave of absence until June 25th. It has been previously announced that owing to ill health president Erra- zuriz would turn over the presidency of Chili to prime minister Zanartu. _^ Another Bank Man Suicides, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, May 2.���Despondency over the murder of his friend, cashier Charles W. Ryan of the Halifax National Bank, of Halifax, recently in an attempt to prevent Henry Rowe and Watson Keiper from robbing the bank, today caused John Kohler, cashier of the Millersburg National Bank, of Millersburg, to take his own life by shooting himself iu the head with a revolver. Railway Men on Strike. New York, May 2.���Three hundred men employed by the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railway in their shops at Dover; New Jersey, struck this afternoon. Latest Thing in Comets. Santiago de Chili, May 2.���A brilliant comet was seen after sunset this afternoon in the western sky. METHODISTS' CONFERENCE Arranging for the Meeting. The district Methodist conference has been in session in Rossland for the past couple of- days, and much of the business to- be brought before the ' general' conference of British Columbia, to open in Nelson next week, was outlined. The district includes all that territory from the Crow's Nest' Pass to Greenwood, including Slocan and .Sandon, and is considered of such importance that the annual conference of the whole province is to be held here this year. The date originally fixed for.the big gather- jng.of JVIethodists-jvas MayJJth, but this has been extended one day, by which arrangement j clerical and lay delegates from the Coast cities can attend without being absent for two consecutive Sunday's from their -pulpits and pews. On Tuesday next the prominent members of the church will be billeted as far as possible among the members of the congregation here, and should this source prove inadequate, then the hotels will be called into requisition. From 75 to 100 representatives ! of the Methodist church throughout the province are expected to be in attendance. Rev. J. A. Wood, Kaslo, presided over the district conference which yesterday closed at Rossland, and reportsJsubmitted showed progress^ Henry Dawson, in whose house Edwards was killed, was found dead in the public road. The other two were shot in the cabin. They are supposed to have been implicated in the murder of Edwards. The negroes are terrorized and are fleeing to the city. Nelson Gun Club. There was a very small attendance at yesterday's turnout of the gun club, and it is probable that it will be the lasc shoot of the season unless members show a more lively interest. There were but four to score, and with 25 birds each the points made were as follows : C. D. Blackwood 20, C. D. Goepel 10, P. Nelson 15, and S. Nelson 14. It was expected that the half holiday would have brought out a large number, of competitors, but the reverse proved to be the case as the attendance was the smallest bf the season. The Purest Guess Work. Editor Tribune: Your issue of this morning contains a special from Vancouver concerning certain action which the approaching B. C. Methodist conference is "determined to take." For the information of any who may take an interest in the matter permit to say that the conference is made up of delegates from all parts of British Columbia, half of whom were only elected this afternoon. It will be seen that all prediction as to what will be done is the purest guess work. J. H. White. Nf��lsonT B C Mav 2. 1901. in almost every branch of operation.

Edward Dawson, a nephew of \ Accident to a Footballer. F. A. Eden, while practicing football at the recreation grounds yesterday afternoon, had his shoulder blade dislocated in a scrimmage and was knocked out. The team was practicing for the contest with Cranbrook, which is fixed for Saturday, and the play was severe. The accident occurred while trying to force the ball from the group, but is not of a very serious nature. Arrested on Suspicion. The local police yesterday received a telegram from Sandon describing a woman wanted for theft. The name given was Mertle but a person registering at one of the city hotels as Marksham, and hailing from Rossland, answered the description and was placed under arrest. She is held in custody pending the arrival of an oflicer from the city under the hills, who is expected to identify her today. Boat Club Regatta. The committee of the Nelson Boat Club held a meeting last evening, when it was decided to proceed with the purchase of two lap- streaks without delay. It was also decided to hold the regular club regatta on Saturday, June 1st: Tlie membership of the club is growing .steadily, and a good season may be confidently predicted. One of the Bodies Found.

St. Petersburg, May 2.���Starvation and typhus are increasing among the village population of Bessarabia. Seventy per cent of the farmers of that. district have lost all their horses and have no seed. ROYAL ACADEMY PICTURES Painting of Queen Victoria. London, May 2.���The first press view.of the Royal Academy today revealed two striking features which were absent from former exhibitions, viz: paintings dealing with queen Victoria's death and funeral, and incidents of the Boer war. Benjamin Constant's picture of the queen has ' a whole wall to itself, with a background of black" and purple. It will undoubtedly be the picture of the year. Lord Dundbnald's dash on Ladysmith, and pictures of other engagements iu South Africa, make bright contrasts to the rows and rows of landscapes and portraits. Of the latter Sargent sends nine, tlie.most striking of which is the daughters of Mr. Wortheiraer. One of the most charming pictures hung is "The Flower Girl," by an American, J. J. Shannon. The queen's , funeral in London was done by John Charlton, and the naval cortege at Portsmouth by W. L. Wyllie. Both are remarkable pictures. Sidney Cooper,' the father of the academy, and other old-time academicians, including sir Edward Poynter, with a marble group, and sir Alma Tadema, with a classic Helena and Hermia. will all be found in their accustomed^ places'. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "If it is not by any means a great academy, it has at least enough good pictures to keep it up to the average." Spokane Strike Settled. Yesterday the men who went out from the work on the Spokane Club building all went back, with the exception of the plasterers' laborers and plasterers. The laborers could not get ��� back, because their officials had called them out, and they were unable to return until a meeting of the union was held, at which time they should be allowed to return to their work.

Nelson and Coast Men Have Secured Large Tracts of Supposed Coal Bearing Lands. ^'Ah The coal measures of the Prince-, ton section of the Similkameen dis-,_ trict; which were practically ignor- ��� ed for several years owing to, the lack of transportation facilities, are now receiving their share of attention from the mohied men of the province and their agents. Speaking of these coal measures a recent visitor'describes them, us foi; lows: The most important of the coal' measures are those immediately-' surrounding the town of Princeton.- Here is a well defined coal basin, probably comprising an ar����a of 50 square miles, every acre of. which has been located during" tlie past month. No less than six other representatives of capital Avere in camp . at the same time that I was locating and acquiring coal , lands. Among those represented were: * Messrs. P. Burns, T.. G. Holt, Rv Marpole, E. V." Bodwell, It. G. Tatlow, captain Tron p, George McL. Brown, J. E. Saucier and \ other residents of British Columbia. This coal deposit has long been known to experts, but no attention*" was paid to it on account of the . lack of transportation facilities, , and the news that the railway was to be built caused the stampede to ���? take it up. Alex. Sharp, the coal expert, having been for many years identified witli the-Diins-~ muirs, is most .enthusiastic over ' the showing; and he acquired 8000 acres of land- for his principals, ^ Messrs. Burns, Marpole,, eft. al. So strong was Mr. Sharp's faith in the district that after taking up the coal lands he immediately departed for the coast for the"purpose of securing a diamond drill for prospecting. The measures contain three seams of coal, one of seven feet, another of fourteen feet, and a third of thirty-five feet. The first, seam is a lignite, the second- bitum- - inous and the third and thicker, a seam as far as can be determined at present appears tobe an anthracite. Shareholders Amalgamation. Rossland, May2.���Fifteen shareholders of the Knob Hill Gold Mining company attended the special' meeting held in this city today, when a resolution was adopted? approving of and consenting to the proposed amalgamation with the other mining properties of the Miner-Graves syndicate. H. N. Galer of Grand Forks, acted ap sec- retaryr=the=chairman-=being-J7-AT��� MacDonald of Rossland. G. W. Wbrster treasurer of the Granby smelter is the liquidator.

The ease with which Great Britain's chancellor of the exchequer refuted the hard-luck story of the colliery owners,who were protesting against the government's export duty upon coal, illustrates theimpor- tance of the government having in its possession statistical information concerning all the great labor employing industries of the country. Had it not been possible for sir Michael Hicks-Beach - to lay before the people of Britain an exact statement of the profits accruing to the colliery owners' from their operations, it is difficult to estimate the suffering aud hardship which they might have forced upon the people in their efforts to evade payment of the tax which, in the opinion of the government, the necessities of the country demanded their properties "��� { should pay. When the export tax ;'/'' �� of a shilling a ton was first announced, a shout of protest went t i up from every coal mining district '\ , in England and Wales. The col- 1 ' liery owners announced that 'any ' -. '" such imposition would drive them, ,i>Tout of the foreign markets; and ' the working miners seeing nothing \- [but reduced wages in store for ' . themselves immediately made pre- ' . parations for a gigantic strike, as , their protest against a government '/' ; measure which threatened their ��� earnings and their employment as , well. But it is not likely there will be any strike."," The British people are very fair-minded in determining domestic issues, and they will doubtless agree with the chancellor of the exchequer, that. rnlliwry owners whose _oper^ ations yield them a return of over twenty-seven per cent upon their capital invested can more readily pay the tax of one shilling a ton upon their coal exports than can their wage-earners pay their half penny a pound upon sugar. The prospects now are that the colliery owners will accept present conditions without further protest, and without attempting to take the tax out of the hides of their employees; because miners who have no reverence for their country's necessity will probably show less in the matter of preserving any twenty-seven per cent profit margins. Goldwin Smith, who has the faculty for disagreeing with almost everybody else, is now endeavoring to put the people of Canada right ��� upon their lesson in connection 1 with the war in South Africa and ��� the bearing it will likely have upon ' the future relations of the Dominion with the rest of the empire. Put ��� into a few words the deduction of i Canada's eminent scholar is that if the Dominion is to participate in the wars and adventures of the empire, it must learn to walk and not be carried by the mother country. He points out that so far Canada has shared in the excitement, the glory and the honors of the war, but ihe people of Great Britain have been called upon to pay the foilL This condition cannot be ex- WALL PAPER We can interest you in AVall Paper.

The Empire League and the Navy League are already urging this claim of the empire upon the Dominion, and it is but a step until their exhortations will be seconded by the people of Great Britain. Then, if conscription is adopted in Britain, which is.nearer than most people' think, Canada will be called upon to defend her frontier of 4000 miles, and, in case of war with Russia, defend British Columbia from attack in that quarter. Nor can any compensation be expected in the way of preference clauses in Great Britain's tariff. Preferential duties, in the opinion of Goldwin Smith, are an illusion; 'arid in the recent war tariff of the English chancellor of the exchequer there are neither the-, signs....of protection nor preference. It imposes indirect taxation, but indirect taxation is not necessarily protection, =while-the=advoeates=of=preference= are rebuffed by the operation of the same .sugar tariff against the West Indies as against the rest of the world. Goldwin Smith's views are interesting in view of the recent squabble in the house of commons over Laurier's failure to secure preference for preference in trade matters, and coming from a man not in active politics may be accepted with less reserve than the colored utterances from Parliament Hill. The Evening World is the name of a new daily paper that has made its appearance in Rossland. The World will be issued in the interests of organized labor, and apart from labor interests promises to be independent in politics and municipal matters. American Version of the Hitch. Washington, May 2.���-It is believed here that the hitch which is said to have arisen at Pekin, over the proposition to increase the Chinese customs duties to meet the indemnities demanded by the foreign powers, is caused by the broaching by Mr. Rockhill of his plan for the abolition of the likin duties as a condition for his ac- quiesence in the customs increase. The United States government, has in the past admitted a readiness to permit the Chinese tb increase the custom rates, providing there was no discrimination between the powers. Minister Wu says that the present five per cent rate is totally inadequate toprovide a sinkingfund for a new loan. Governments Being Established. Batangas, Island of Luzon, May 2.���A score of insurrectionists fired into the town last night. No casualties were reported. The few outlaws remaining in the province have been nearly pacified. Tho commission has established a government at Sorsorgon, at the southern end of the island of Luzon, and has appointed captain J. N. Livingston, of New York, to bo governor. The conditions at Sorsorgon are regarded as admirable. The commission touched at Marin- ique yesterday, and fulfilled the pledge made that if the insurgents surrendered municipalities would be organized and a separate provisional government would be established at Marinique. Captain Brandholdt was a candidate for governor, but a native was appointed. The commission will go to Naddla tomorrow, after an eight weeks' successful tour. Eastman Threatened Grogan's Life. Cambridge, May 2.���The tenth dayof the Eastman murder trial opened this uorning with witnesses who testified concerning experiments with pistols, to ascertain the carrying power of certain cartridges in their discharge upon pieces of shirting. The most interesting witness of the morning was Mrs. Mary Anna Grogan, mother of the dead man. Mrs. Grogan said that on June 20th, Eastman came to the Grogan house, Richard was present, but went out soon after Eastman came in. Witness did not notice that they spoke. Ashe passed out Eastman said "His days are short." One of the two girls asked Eastman what he meant by it, and Lizzie, tbe wife of the dead man, told Eastman he must have been drinking. Lizzie and Mrs. Eastman became quite excited, and witness heard Eastman say again "His days are numbered." Rumor has it that J. A.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-05-03 |
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. |
