Victoria, April 2*1.���British Columbia is again in the throes of a political crisis, brought about by the government's bill to borrow five million, dollars to subsidize railways in the province. Many of the government supporters wanted it explicitly stated that the subsidy for the line from the Coast-to-Midway would be given to a company independent of the C. P. R., but the government bill leaves it to the government to say what company the subsidy shall be given to, the object being to make the best bargain possible. Joe Martin, leader of the opposition,is supporting the government bill, and he is being followed by Messrs Brown, Mclnnes and Stables of the opposition party, while Martin's lieutenant, Smith- Curtis of Rossland, has deserted the opposition for the stand taken by his former leader. He walked out of opposition caucus last night. On tlie other hand, Messrs. Helmcken and McPhillips of Victoria, and Garden of Vancouver have openly come out in opposition to the government's policy, which they formerly supported, and tomorrow Mr. Helmcken will movo a want of confidence motion, favoring the construction of the Coast-to-Kootenay railway by an independent company. This will show how the house stands on the question. With the support of three .members of the opposition it is expected that-the government can carry its bill. **.*****************.*.****** vt 4444444444444444444444443* <n 9* 9* * 9* * 9* 1�� <!�� 9* f 9* 9> * 9* * m 9* * 9* f 9> f m f * QUARANTINED FOOTBALLERS Arrive From Cranbrook. Two of tlie five Nelson footballers who have been quarantined at Cranbrook for the past sixteen days, returned yesterday. Those left behind are now enjoying liberty, aud taking in the sights and sceues of East Kootenay from a new aspect. For the past couple "of weeks all they saw of Cranbrook was from tho balcony of the Cos- " mopolitau hotel, and although from this vantage point the view was good, it' was not comprehensive enough for."the Nelson men who played the draw. T. A. Eden and 1<V II. Forbes were tho returning members of the team yesterday. They look well considering their incarceration, and speak highly of the attention paid to all the suspects by mine host Small, of the Cosmopolitan. "We have had five meals a day," said one of the arrivals of yesterday. "Breakfast at about 11 o'clock, lunch at 2, dinner at 5, supper at 9 and at about 1 or 2 in the morning our appetites were again, appeased. We all gained several pounds in weight during the term of quarantine, but none of us volunteered for further detention service. We made things as lively as was possible under the circumstances, and had few dull moments. Sport? Yes, we had ���lots-;of "it; We"_liatl~quoits7"carilsr billiards, fireworks, lassoing and a variety of improvised games. From the hotel balcony we made a strenuous effort to collect a $1 fine from every passer-by and occasionally l.issoed a reluctant contributor. Some of us are now really handy ab throwing the rope���fellows who have never been on a cattle range iu our lives. There wero . 35 of.us , all told, in the hotel, and a jollier lot 1 would not ask to meet. All were vaccinated, fumigated, subjected to chemical baths, and baths that were pot chemical, but there was no discipline. It was a free-and-easy from the day the doors were closed on us uutil yesterday when the portals were again opened. The Cranbrook people treated us decently and I hope the Nelson people will reciprocate when the Cranbrook boys come oyer here on the'4th of next month to kick bnll with us. We left behind us Tiny Thompson, Allan Sergeaunt and Harry Houston. They will likely be here tomorrow. Ye3, we are all well," said the returning quarantined footballer. Mining Records. The following are the mining transactions recorded yesterday: J ilin Reilly transfers to George D ivis his interest in the Gem, on Beaver creek ; certificates of Avork to John Callaghan on the Humming Bird, at Erie, and to Matthew Nelson on the Champion and Viking Fraction. ' There Avere; two new locations���the Schley, one mile from Erie, by Jack Sutherland, and the Avondale by Peter Batiste. Certificates of improvement . were granted to A. H. Kelly, E. C. Arthur, and J.P. Rogers on the Julius Cassar, five miles south of Nelson. EARLY GLOSINC IN NELSON During the Summer Months' A movement is on foot to have the business houses of Nelson close their doors on one day in the week during the summer months at 12 o'clock noon. There appears to be a very general feeling in favor of such a scheme, and about the only point left undecided up to a few days ago was as to the particular day of the week which would be most convenient for early closing. This has been practically settled, aud. Thursday named. The store assistants of Nelson are a hardworking body of men and, women, proverbial for their courtesy and business tact. Their hours are long ���from 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning until 0, 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening. The strain is too severe to be endured the year round; and if the tension cau be relieved without any inconvenience to the public, it is only fair that for the summer months at least, a half holiday should be declared. When it is generally known that no business will be transacted on the Thursday afternoon, people will readily accommodate themselves to the arrangement, and this the more-willingly when by so doing they have the consciousness that they are contributing to the happiness of others. An"agreementrbinding_the_mer- chants to close' their respective places of business at 12 o'clock noon on Thursday, during the months of May, June, July and August is now being very liberally signed. It provides that if- all those engaged in auy one particular branch of business do not sign, the agreement shall not be binding upon the others in the same line, and should any one of the signators fail to comply with the conditions set forth, the others in that particular business may consider themselves released. This is a fair and square proposition and as. such it is being freely endorsed. Those-'-,' who have signed up to date are: Kerr & Co., Fred Irvine & Co., Hudson's Bay Co., J. A. Irving & Co., George Bell & Co., McPherson & McCamraon, William Hunter & Co., Nelson Hardware Co., The Wallace Miller Co. Limited, Emory & Walley, J. A. Gilker, Lillie Bros., A. Ferland, Morrison- & Caldwell. The agreement is in the hands of K. C. Beaton, and can be 9igned by any individual or firm willing to comply with the terms. The Tremont Stuffed Managerie. The windows of the Tremont House were yesterday an unusual attraction. Al Tregillus spent some weeks in the hills last fall with a rifle, and succeeded in potting some rare specimens of the feathered tribe as well as a good-sized mountain goat and a lynx. All of these he has had stuffed, and now they are on view. The goat aud lynx are beauties of their species. Two well-developed horned owls and one pigmey are nicely mounted. Then there is a crested merganser, a raven, a wood-duck, a loon, a red thorold and a fish hawk���aU very fine specimens of their sort. With such an exhibition of the prowess of a local sport, the windows of the Tremont are rendered very attractive; ' Mystery to Be Dispelled. Victoria, April 24.���Dr. Fagan, provincial health officer, leaves this week for Langley, to further investigate the case of the -young man Holloway, who was found dead last year in his cabin, with a gun shot wound in his body. The coroner's jury decided that it was a case of suicide, but _ the young man's relatives think differently, and the authorities have consented to further investigate the case.

DEADLY NEW YEAR'S BLIZZARD AT, CAPE NOME. 'Gold Digger" Confirms the Stories Which Found Their Way Out Some Time Ago. Seattle, April 24.���Partial confirmation of the rumors of death in Alaska by freezing has been received. The Nome Gold Digger, of January 20 th, says : "Dr. Pel ton, one of the best known and most esteemed young pioneers of Alaska, was frozen to death on the trail on the night of January 1st, near Solomon. He came from Oakland, California, and was 33 years of age. '���Dan Anderson left Dexter for Nome about four weeks ago, and has not yet been heard of. It is 'feared that��he perished in the New Year's blizzard. "W. F. Baum perished while carrying assistance,to a sick miner. He was a native of Mobile, Alabama, and had seen service iu the Cuban war. "This .afternoon United States "marshal McLean brought into-town the remains of a man from Solomon. Later the body was identified as that of Alexander Snow. "A story was told at the chamber of commerce meeting on Mon- dey night of sixteen men and a woman being huddled together, iu a mained and mutilated condition from frost bite, in a cabin on Pilgrim river, unable to lie down because of the crush, and with starvation facing them. Generous individuals and companies donated money and food. An appeal to the military was resolved upon, and within two hours au emergency supply was flying over the trail by moonlight, drawn by swift dogs. The next day a number of the victims arrived in town and told their story. Some of them were badly frostbitten-and���had-endured��� severe hardships. "Dr. Tam was frozen to death on Saturday, January 19th, and two unknown men were found dead near Marys Igloo." Petty Larcenies in Nelson. For the past few weeks a gang of petty thieves have been operating in Nelson. They appear to devote their attentions to small things, and to depend upon the multiplicity of articles gathered in to pay them for risks inc&rred. They visit saloons, arid steal the counter towels, get into lavatories and carry off mirrors, soap, and everything they can lay hands on, and appropriate odd boots displayed out- by shoe. stores in thg hope of pairing them in the next scene of operation. The petty nature of the pilferings seems to be the protection which the operators enjoy. No man cares to prosecute for the loss of a couple of towels, a small mirror, or a cake or two of soap. .A few of the offenders are Spotted. The Nelson Quoit Club. Yesterday's games at the grounds of the Nelson Quoit Club were as follows: Clements 31, Hardie 8; Wallace 31, Hunter 11; McMorris 31, Irving 13; Beer 31, Watchorn 13; Morrison 31, Turner 23; Telford 31, Watson 10; Irwin 31, O'Shea 11. Will Raise Some Quarantines. Victoria, April 24.���The provincial health oflicers have decided to raise the quarantine in Kootenay towns, all fear of smallpox there having passed. The quarantine against the state of Washington will be continued, as, Dr. Fagan says the disease is still prevalent there. Cincinnati, April 24.���What is believed to be the crest of the flood sweeping down the Ohio- river reached here today. The river rose an inch per hour all night, and a stage of 50 feet was reached shortly before 0 a. m. This is six feet above the danger line for the business sections aud eleven feet below the line where the .water enters the tenements along the water front. The city is surrounded by a backwater on the - east and west, and also along the south side, but it is estimated now that the stage of 58 feet will be reached here. -The highest poiut will come today and relief will soon follow. The conditions on the Kentucky side have not changed. The relief that is in sight here clears everything for the 480 miles up to Pittsburg, and the rivermen say that the lower Ohio valley will not suffer so much, as the tributaries below here are not so high as those in the upper valley. Cincinnati, April 24.���Besides the heavy loss .by flood in the manufacturing and wholesale districts, many laborers are idle, and about 1000 people, have been rendered homeless. The loss in the timber and tie districts along the Little Kanawha is estimated at a quarter of a million. At Charleston, West Virginia over 106 people : were rendered homeless, and the loss of timber in Elk, Poca, Cauley and Coal river, has been very great. "The Kanawha and Michigan railroad has beenun- able, to run between' this city and Point Pleasant < since Saturday." Three bridges were .washed away, and the roadbed washed out at many places. Two adjacent towns to Huntingdon are submerged. The water in many instances being at the second story. Over a "thousand people are homeless in the district, and many are destitute. Iu Harvey. not half a dozen inhabited houses are left. All the towns in this valley that are lighted by natural gas are in darkness and without fuel, as the natural gas main burst near Gallup, Kentucky. The damage in this section is estimated at over $600,000. At Mariotta, Ohio about ��� 150 families are homeless. At Point Pleasant, West Virginia over 200 families have been driven from -their���homes The -court- house-is- full of colored people being fed by the city. The large brick and tile works have been greatly damaged. At Ripley, Ohio, boats are used on Second and Third street's. The city east of main street is covered with water, but only about 15 families moved to the second stories and the condition is improving. At Marysville, Kentucky about thirty families have moved to the second stories, and some have vacated. At Aberdeen the condition is much worse. A Bill That Is Long Overdue. London, April 24.���In tlie house of commons today the deceased wife's sister bill passed its second reading by 202 to 155 votes.

The only delegates present at the session were representatives from several garrisoned towns on the east coast and they feared to give information to the Americans. The commissioners assured them that the increased American forces would cope with the rebels and that a vigorous campaign would be instituted in Samar. -The only���American-troops-now���in- Samar are seven companies of the First infantry. Previous to the arrival of the commission yesterday a party of insurgents fired down from the hills back of Cat Balogan. Some bamboo guns were captured today.

Nkw York, April 24. ��� Once again peace rumors are in tlio air, says the Tribune's London correspondent. Mrs. Botha has been in correspondence with lord Kitchener and as a result it is believed that the British commander-in-chief has agreed to receive three Boer generals���Botha, Delary and Viljoen��� within the next few days.

Croasdaile, one of the delegates to Ottawa from Nelson on the refinery bonus proposition, returned yesterday. He was met at the boat by a Tribune reporter, and in reply to questions said: "I believe we made a very favorable impression, and that the importance of the subject was forcibly impressed upon the government. All that could be said from our standpoint was said, and I believe a very favorable impression was "created. We got no definite promise, but the ministers were .-unquestionably interested, and were anxious for information. " Was there not a statement of the case presented, as drafted on the part of the mine owners' association and boards of trades of the Kootenays?" asked The Tribune man. "Yes, I believe there was," replied the returning delegate. " There was a . number of good speeches -made in support of our case, but we could elicit no definite promise. However, I believe a very' favorable impression has been made." Attention was also called to the* inequality'"of the -duties levied upon lead products coming into Canada, and it was pointed out that the schedule of lead duties stands as it was framed many years ago when there was no production of lead in the Dominion, and the government was asked to revise this tariff and put it upon an equitable basis by an increase of the duty upon pig lead from 15 to 20 per cent aud upon dry white lead from 5 to 25 per cent. Off to New Westminster. William Fell, whose name has been prominently before tiie public for months past iii connection with police annals, was yesterday examined by Dr. LaBau and pronounced insane. An order was con- sequently-issued-forhis removal-to- the asylum at New Westminster, and police constable Heavener left yesterday evening with Fell in charge.

So deep was tlie cut yesterday that it was deemed advisable for the safety of the public to erect a paling on tho Ward street side of tlie plot. As depth is attained stiffer material is encountered, and it is thought it may be necessary to use powder before long to loosen up the ground. Should Get the Limit. Montreal, April 24.��� Arthur Hamel tliis morning in the police court confessed tho the theft of $275 from his father. The father is an old man, a laborer, and has been years saving up the money.

Murderer Briere's Motivo. Ciiartres, France, April 24.��� The bodies of the five murdered children of the farmer named -Briere, who were killed on April 21st, were interred this afternoon in a common grave. The bi.-liop of Chartres, the municipal officials, and a number of strangers followed the bier. Briere, who claimed that - the murders were coram it ted by - two tramps, but who is suspected . of; having killed the children* himself in a fit of drunken madness, has not yet confessed, but the authorities are satisfied lie is the murderer. One of the most- conclusive evidences of his guilt was discovered by accident/ He I" planned and carried out the crimes-, iu the most cold blooded manner, -; and upset the furniture to convey - the idea thatthe alleged murderers ". had ransacked the house for. rob-'- bery, but in overturning a drawer he broke a. bottle of ink ar.d the doctors in dressing,, his _ wounds found his fingers stained with ink. "~ Tlie motive for the murder appears "a to be that,Briere wanted to marry '���_ a widow who had refused him on -- .acpount of his large, family." The crime has caused a tremendous sensation throughout France. TALK CANAL MATTERS OVER Pauncefote and Hay Confer. Washington, April 21.���LoiJ Pauncefote, the British ambassador, was in conference with secretary Hay at the state department today for au hour. In view of tha approaching absence from Washing-, ton of secretary Hay the ambassador was desirous of disposing off pending matters of business, but/ the important subject of discussion was the canal project. Secretary Hay has been at work ever since -congress-adjournedl-takiug���souud^��� ings with a view to learning justs what could be expected of tho senate in case he should submit another treaty to that body. But for reasons heretofore explained, up to this time he has not been able to secure a satisfactory view of the legislative field. This is iu large measure due to the reluctance of some of the leading senators to commit themselves frankly in advance to certain ideas respecting the canal. Therefore lord Pauncefote, as he goes to London before Mr. Hay returns, can present to the English officials only a partially developed picture of the situation here, though he may be able through his long experience in Washington to support, the ideas he has gathered from secretary Hay with some views of his own that may afford the British government the information it requires as a precedent to initiating fresh negotiations for a new treaty.

From the latter city he will probably return home via Montreal, where he will further confer with contractor Reid respecting railway matters. The colonial legislature will convene May 23rd. This date admits of premier Bond reaching here and. preparing the program of measures before the house opens. The Dunsmuir government's rail- policy, which was announced in the legislature on Tuesday, may be taken as notice that hereafter all railways shall be built upon terms dictated by the government, instead of upon such terms as are most acceptable to the persons who propose to 'build them. The government's present railway programme contemplates the building ' of some 945 miles of railway, which when built will to all intents and purposes be government roads, since the government shall have control of all rates, and will recoup itself for assistance- granted by a charge of four per cent upon the gross earnings of the roads assisted. It was not to be expected, in view of conflicting interests, that any policy the government might bring down would be acceptable to all; but it must be conceded that, in the present instance, the government by its announced policy has succeeded in pleasing- the very great majority of the people. 'Although the present railway programme covers what may be termed the four corners of the province, the only objection taken to it is with respect to the assistance to be granted to the road from Midway to the Coast, which embraces all told about one-third of the total mileage to be provided for. Nor can it be said that this objection was unexpected. The men who are raising it, in the interest of James J. Hill's Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern- scheme, have from the first insisted that special treatment should be meted out to Mr. Hill, and that under no circumstances * should he and those who are associated with him be placed in , competition for their charter and subsidy with any other railway company. Few of them, however, ' have the temerity to frankly state their position in the controversy, and instead of openly challenging the government's right to secure by competition the best bargain it can for the construction of the roads desired, ��� they confine themselves chiefly to the work of creating the impression tliat the government policy is designed for the purpose of preventing railway construction instead of encouraging it. To this end they direct particular attention to the condition which provides for the payment to the government of four per cent, upon the gross earnings of the road assisted. This, they say, is an effectual barrier to any company availing itself of the government subsidy, since it would be impossible to secure the money necessary for construction witli such four per cent as a first charge upon the road's earnings. To refute this it is only necessary to refer to the agreements which the government of the province already has with the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the equipment and operation of the Shuswap & Okanagan railway and the Nakusp & Sloean railway. With respect to both of these roads it may be stated that the government of the province de frayed the entire cost of construction, but conceding this the fact stands out that the roads were equipped and are being operated under an agreement whicli gives the province, not. four per cent of the gross earnings, but forty per cent of thegross earnings. Having therefore such agreements, which have beeu in force for several years, does it not seem reasonable to expect that in cases in which the government of the province provides one- fourth or one-fifth of, the cost of construction, that it will be able to secure the building of railways under a condition which insures for it the return of four per cent upon their gross earnings? The opponents of the government's railway policy will scarcely assert that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company either takes or is taking any the worst of any agreement which it may make with the government for the equipment and operation of state - aided branches. The contention of Mr. Hill's advocates proves nothing, save that their principal is either unable, or unwilling, to offer the province as advantageous terms in return for the use of government money in his railway enterprises as other railway concerns offer. This may be rather unfortunate for Mr. Hill, but it can hardly be regarded as an effective argument to plead before a legislature which appears bent upon having railway competition above all things. The Dunsmuir government has lost nothing by the new line of cleavage which its railway policy has produced in the legislature. In _drawing_Martin,-Brown,���Mclnnes and Stables from the opposition, in exchange for McPhillips, Helmcken and Garden, the government may fairly claim to have swapped wind for brains. ' The feet of Smith Curtis, in. walking out of the opposition caucus Tuesday evening, did not present so striking a feature as the feet of the caucus itself as it proceeded to walk over the government side of the house.

London, April 24.���The apartment formerly occupied by John Brown in Windsor castle, which has been closed for eighteen years, has been reopened and will be redecorated and converted into a billiard rOom.

This is a risky country to make a speech iu. Senator Dundurand went up to Toronto and made a good speech there from a loyal French- Canadian standpoint, but he lucklessly intimated that the majority of French-Canadian country priests used to be Tory organizers. Now he has had to issue a letter to the Quebec press explaining what lie explained to Ontario, and as his letter to the Quebec press says he was talking to "the fanatics of Ontario," the senator may have to address a letter to Ontario explaining what ho was explaining to Quebec about what he first had to explain to Ontario.

A Harvard Professor Stands Charged With the Murder of His Brother-in-L&w. Cambridge, Massachusetts, April 21.���The government lost its first critical point, in the admission of evidence against professor Eastman, of Harvard college, who is on trial in the superior court charged with the murder of his brother-in- law, Richard Grogan, junior, when judge Gaskill this afternoon stated that certain evidence, in the form of repetition of statements alleged to have, been mado by Grogan as he was dying, was not admissible iu a certain form which tended to convey tlie opinion and not the fact as to whether he (Grogan) had been killed or murdered. The point raised by Mr. Elder for the prisoner was one of intense interest, as ib was being argued by Mr. Elder on the one side and attorney-general Knowlton on the other. The point raised apparently was unexpected by tha attorney-general. It came out in this fashion: Lottie Brough- ton, a ' witness, was asked to repeat what she had heard Grogan" say, her testimony having already gone beyond the point where it had been shown that Grogan was wounded. Mr. Elder interposing, said he anticipated the answer to be, "Charles, you've murdered me,"-and to it he objected as incompetent evidence on the plain ground on whieh Grogau's opinion was not a speciGc declaration of the dying man. On the same ground he objected to evidence also presented which in effect "was an opinion and not a bare statement of fact. Attorney-general Knowlton immediately took the opposite ground and the exposition of the law by the two attorneys was so keen that the issue was "taken by judges Gas- kill and Aikin into a conference which lasted an hour. The decision was given against the government in almost every particular ; the exposition being, that the identical ^ words objected to were allowed to stand in the direct testimony of Mr. Titus, a druggist, who saw the struggle between Grogan aud Eastman and heard the former speak immediately after having been shot. The entire day was full of sensational evidence. FORGET THAT WAR 18 GRUEL SOUTH AFRICANS COMPLAIN OF HARSH TREATMENT.

A new law firm will hang out its shingle in Nelson on May 1st. It will be composed of E. C. Wragge of this city and A. Whealler of Kaslo. The firm will virtully take over the law business of Messrs. Bowes & Ward. The annual meetiug of the local company of '.. t Rocky Mountain Rangers is being arranged for Monday evening next. An interesting report will be submitted by the secretary reviewing the brief but successful career of the organization. The two Morris tubes for rifles arrived in Nelson yesterday for use by tlie Rocky Mountain Rangers. The tubes are inserted in the barrel of the rifle, reducing the bore to 22, thus enabling indoor practice when under ,ordinary circumstances the standard cartridge would have to be used. ;; '' ' ' ** The business of the Kootenay Cigar Manufacturing Company has been purchased by S. A. Kelly, who will continue it under the style of the Kootenay Cigar Company in thei present'premises on east Baker street.' The new firm will keep up the reputation of the firm's leader, the Royal Seal cigar, which has made the Kootenay Cigar Company famous throughout the interior of the province. Report Credited in Washington. Washington, April 21.���The report from Rome that Mgr. Diomede Falconio, now apostolic delegate to Canada, has been selected to succeed cardinal Martiuelli as delegate to the United States, is believed here. For some days his name has been connected by rumor with the succession to that office. London, April 21.���J. K. Merri- man. former treasurer of Capo Colony and now a representative of the Afrikander Bund, speaking at a meeting of the league of Liberals today against aggression and militarism, said military law, the abnegation of all law, had been established in Cape Colony. The newspapers had not heard of the treach - evy and espionage going on. Respectable people were .committed on the evidence of natives alone. They were brought up and fined for harmless observances, alleged seditions, and the town guards harried thorn. These things created greater irritation and indignation than actual violence. The press was deliberately stopped, and four editors had been sent to jail. The fruits of this policy would be bitter, as the memory of these insults burned the hearts of the people. Mr. Merriman detailed instances of the punishment of the Dutch under military law, usually on the testimony of natives and employees. He mentioned an instance of a cheeky girl being fined for saying things against the town guards. '- Martial law and the censorship throughout Cape Colony prevented the people of England from knowing the hardships of the Dutch. As an Englishman, Mr. Merriman said he viewed the policy pursued in Cape Colony with the blackest dismay. If. persisted in, South Africa was lost to the British empire. The only thing that could save it, was recognition that the people wanted self govesnment, and were determined to have it. Mr. J. W..Saner, the former commissioner of public works of Cape Colony, . said the camps in which the Boer women and children were kept were guarded by sentries with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. The majority of the women had been placed in them against their will. Their household had been. burned and their possessions had been taken. He had tried to get the..military authorities through the government of Cape Colony, to permit two or three hundred women and children camped at Port Elizabeth, to be liberated, as food and shelter had been promised them by the town, but the military authorities refused the request. '_ Resolutions opposing annexation and crown government were adopted. Greatest Leper Colony Known. Manila, April 24.���It is estimated that there are 25,000 lepers in the .Philippines, and it is planned to iso- late them all on one island. Major Mans, the medical inspector, captain Ahern of the 9th infantry and captain-quartermaster Morton, compose the board of officers appointed to select a suitable island. They have visited Busanga, Cuiltona, Cogayou, Dejolo and other islands, and have made a report but it has not yet been acted on. Express Train Through a Bridge.

Ronne, April 24.���The matriculation ceremony of the crown prince of Germany took place at noon today. The hall was filled with a brilliant company of military officers, civil officials, university authoritiesandclergymen. Emperor William and the crown prince stood at a table ou whicli was the roll of the university aud the prince's card of membership. ��Professor La Valette welcomed the emperor and referred "to the years his majesty spent at Bonne, and the brilliancy with which he had fulfilled the bright hopes of whichhe gavepromise in youth. The strong arm of the emperor, said rector La Valette, secured Germany's frontiers, and art, science,- trade and commerce flourished under the wise protection of their genial emperor. Just as the emperor, as a student, had won the hearts of all, so would the crown prince soon learn how truly and warmly all hearts beat in unison with his. The crown prince then entered liis name on the register and the rector grasped his hand and greeted him as the youngest member of the university,* at the same time expressing the wish that he, like his father, would unite serious study with the buoyant spirits of youth. The rector concluded with calling for hochs for the emperor, which were vigorously given. The emperor shook hands with the rector and greeted several other persons. His, majesty, the crown, prince and the suite,, subsequently joined ih a procession to the gate of the university, aud left amidst the hochs of the townspeople and students. .

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-04-25 |
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. |
