C, TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS SUNDAY CLOSING ON GAMES THE RECREATION GROUNDS TO REMAIN IDLE Because Some People Object to Noise and Amusement on the Sabbath. There was a full attendance at the weekly meeting of the city council last night, and it looked for a while as if the session was going to be short and unimportant, but before adjourning a surprise was sprung in the form of a resolution forbidding games to be played at the recreation grounds on Sundays. And it carried. There was no report from the board of works, and only a very brief one from the finance committee. On going over the bills presented for settlement oue was challenged, being a charge of $5 per day for the services of a nurse who attended to the diphtheria cases recently. The woman had been 29 days in charge of the patients. It was decided to pay $75 on account, pending a settlement of tlie claim. A. Hiildes wrote asking that the stables bought by 'him*, from the city at $25 be taken back or rented tor $10 per month. It was decided to offer the applicant a refund of the money, namely $25. Several applications wero read From persons anxious to have crossings and sidewalks laid, and referred to the board of works. The cemetery by-law was once again laid over. A petition was read from the residents of Hume addition asking that a water main be laid, and setting forth that such service might be a source of revenue to the city. Referred to board of works. Alderman Hamilton moved that the use of tho. recreation giounds lie not allowed for,games on Sunday. In doing so he said that a great many people were opposed to Suuday games and the noise made at the recreation grounds when Sunday games were in operation. Id was further alleged that children going to Sunday school often spent their time in looking at the play. He understood there were available grounds at the park at the end ol* tlie tram line. If so, there would be no 'hardship*' in haying the Sunday games played there. Such an arrangement would overcome the difficulty. Alderman Irving took a similar view. If there was another place available outside the city limits Sunday games should be played there. The mayor���Would the moral =a9pect=be=ehanged=by-=having=the= games played outside the city limits? Alderman Hamilton���No, but it would not be so objectionable. The mayor said he understood that at a meeting of the tramway company they decided that the crowd ought to be brought out to their park on Sundays instead of remaining in town to see; a ball game. (Laughter.) Alderma-n Selous���I have passed that park scores of times and I can tell you that there is no place there to play a ball game. I think that those who favor wholesome, healthy recreation should have something to ���Buy also. I take the ground that it is far better for young men ito enjoy themselves there on Sunday than to mope about town and get into mischief. They are far better playing or watching a game than they would be in other places that I could name. If it is a question of noise���if that is what these people object to���t may say that the harsh, discordant sound of the church bell is in finitely more annoy- iing to me than the noise these (people complain of. Now, if we put up with this noise the least the Presbyterians and Methodists may do is to tolerate the little noise ���made at tlie recreation grounds. Every one of those young fellows will indulge in recreation, and you -won't get them to go to Sunday school. Alderman Irving���There is no comparison between the church bell and the noise made at. a ball game. Alderman Selous���It is infinitely more annoying to me and to others. The mayor���You cannot stop them playing ball there. One-third of the recreation ground is on other people's property. Alderman Gillett thought the games could be stopped. The mayor pointed out that in Boston and other advanced and well governed cities Sunday games were always indulged in in the public parks. Alderman Gillett���But there are no churches near. Alderman Selous���There are no churches near the recreation grounds. ��� The mayor���You can't prevent men playing quoits in their gardens, cau you? Alderman Solous did not favor one section of a community, and a 'minority, trying to control another section who were the majority. The next thing they would be wanting to do was to prevent people walking pn Sunday or going on the water. The mayor said he lived near two churches and the noise' from these places was very objectionable, especially when the baby wanted a sleep. . Alderman Selous���Oh, let us be tolerant. After some further discussion the motion was put and declared carried. Those who voted for were aldermen Hamilton, Irving, Gillett and Paterson. Against aldermen Selous, Madden and the mayor. ' The mayor���You ought to pass a by-law forbidding the running of street cars, on Sunday. It is not fair that people should be disturbed, as they certainly make a great noise. If there is anybody sick along the route it is most disagreeable. It is only reasonable to follow out these lines since: you have taken the matter of Sunday games and Sunday noises up. It is a subject I hope the council will deal with at its next meeting. Tlie council adjourned till Wednesday morning.. The Old Country Gold Find. . A few days ago there appeared in This Tribune an accouut of a gold find at Leith, in England. The gold was said to run 30 ounces to lhe ton, but as it was found iu the digging of a cellar, exploration ceased. That- is the way they "prospect" in old England. The Daily Graphic iu alluding to the iind, says: "The accounts of gold found at Leith would, perhaps, have excited less surprise aud even incredulity, if more people had been familiar with the annual blue books issued by the board of trade on mines and quarries in the United Kingdom and the colonies. According to the last blue book just issued, there were, in the precediug year 3047 statute tons of gold ore exca- vavated in the United Kingdom, which were estimated at the diggings as worth about ��10,000. The ore actually produced 3327 ounces��� rather more than an ounce a ton- valued at ��12,086. What may excite almost as much surprise is that iu the same time 191,927 ounces of ^silveiwwere=smelted=in=the=same- period, with an estimated value of ��21,942. Aluminum, copper, lead, iron, sodium, tin and zinc were the other "home made" metals, and their value at the average market price was put at ��18,314,750, so that the old country is not used up yet. _^^_ "Twa Hours at Hame." At a meeting of the St. Andrew's Society the other night arrangements were made to secure the appearance in Nelson on the 20th instant of Gavin Spence and Miss Flora Macdonald, a pair of Scottish entertainers who have won renown wherever they have performed. They are not alone good singers but they introduce character sketches which are said to be very clever. The proceeds of the entertainment, after expenses are paid, will be devoted to local charities, A committee consisting of George Kydd, J. Gibson and J. K. Strachan has been appointed to look after all details aud these gentlemen promise a great treat. Eighteen Months for Forgery. The New Denver Hungarian with tlie peculiar name was brought before Mr. Justice Drake yesterday morning, having elected for speedy trial on a charge of raising a check from $7 to $17. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labor.. The offender is a young man of about 20 years of age, and pleaded in extenuation of his offence that he was hard up. The judge, however, did not accept the plea, and imposed the year and a half, pointing out that foreigners who will raise checks are better in prison than at large. THE ASSIZES OPEN TODAY CRIMINAL DOCKET CONSIDERABLY REDUCED. Only Two Cases to be Heard and , These From Outside for Murder and Cattle Stealing. The assizes open in Nelson today before Mr. justice Drake, and the criminal docket, which looked a heavy one a couple of weeks ago, has been reduced to two cases���one murder and the other cattle stealing. The murder case comes from the Boundary country, and the cattle stealing from East Kootenay. Matthers vs. Mansfield has been adjourned by consent, and Brewster, charged with house breaking has elected for speedy trial and will have his case heard at Greenwood. A couple of days will probably suffice to dispose of the criminal business, and Mr. justice Drake will take up any" civil business ; which may offer on Monday next, instead of on Tuesday as originally fixed. The civil list is rather heavy. The first nameon the docket is that of McMillan vs... Sandilands. Osier. vs. Moore is an old rembrant of litigation. It has been on for many months, and had its origin in a claim for commission by plaintiff for the sale uf some mining properties. Defendant Moore is now back in Nova Scotia, but may be on hand in time for the trial. La Blanc vs. Lambert and McBeath vs..Emerson are cases which are likely to occupy a good deal of time. "l Cordingly vs. the Guardian, Scottish Union and Queen fire insurance companies is a local case to which considerable attention attaches. It will be remembered that the plaintiff conducted business as a furniture dealer at. the west end of Bttker street. "The premises took' fire, and as a result Cordingly was. arrested on a charge of arson. He was, however, acquitted, but the companies in which the stock was insured refused to recognize his claim for damages. Hence the present action. Peters vs. the Nelson Electrie Tramway Company is another local case of importance. The plaintiff was engaged as motorman by the company, but on his initial run the car got derailed, and he lost an arm in the accident.' He subsequently entered the employ of the company and did not enter proceedings for compensation until he left the service. Fenwick vs. the British Columbia Southern is an action to reebver $1500 for damages sustained by ^M^rT^f'th^allegM'hTfgle^t'pirtlre" part of the company to maintain its plant in safe working order. These are the only cases entered up to date, but there will probably be a few others before the assizes terminate. Mining Records. The following are the mining transactions recorded yesterday: Certificates of work'were granted to W. A. Connell on the Essie, to John Deserieu on the Red Fly, to P. G. Johnson on the Mattie B, to N. Hartman on the Air Castle and Silver Crest, to Rice Kellogg on the Reuben and to J. Shuttleworth on the Keystone Fraction. --New records were: The Cumberland, by C. A. Hanna, situate between Rest and Burnet creeks, about four miles from Erie; on the Cumberland extension, in same district, by M. D. Clements, and on the Monitor on Iron mountain, by Cyril H. Green. There were no transfers br sales recorded. The Footballers' Night Out, The Nelson team who defeated Cranbrook on Sunday were showing the visitors around after supper, when, through the over- zeal of a police constable, they came to grief. Nelson men say that while in Cranbrook the freedom of the town was voted them, and nothing was left undone to make them happy���even those of them that were quarantined. Hence when the East Kootenay contingent came over here to play the home club strained every nerve to reciprocate. They seemed to think that they should enjoy some little latitude, but the police thought differently and have issued sum- j monses for disorderly * conduct against a few of the footballers. The matter is very bitterly discussed by all lovers of sport in the city. *: Over One Hundred Thousand Dollars. At a meeting of the directors of the B. C. Permanent Loan & Savings Company held at? the head oflice, 321 Cambie street, Vancouver, B. C, on Thursday, the 2nd inst., eleven loans were granted amounting to $12,200.00, making a grand total of $103,950.60 granted in less than ten weeks, which is at the rate, of over a half a million dollars per annum. The income of the B. C. Permanent Loan & Savings Company, of Vancouver, B. C. for the month of April, amounted to $21,518.90, and during the same month the amount of $29,559.70 was; paid out on account of loans. i YACHTS TRY CONCLUSIONS "Back From the Lardeau. P. Chapman has just returned from a trip through the Lardeau iu the interests of A. Macdonald & Co., and gives a very encouraging account of the country. The building of the railway from Lardo to TroutLake is giving a great impetus to mining and trade generally, and the people are jenjoying a very busy time. Mr. Chapman reports that the good people of the Lardeau are great admirers of Nelson, and that they are preparing some beautiful samples of ore to add to the collection in the board of trade rooms here. Fancy Dress Concert. There was a full dress rehearsal of the children's faiicy dress concert last night, which was witnessed by a number of privileged people. The little ones showed up in great style and gave the undoubted assurance of a big success for tomorrow evening���the date fixed for the performance. Among the attractive features are a good night drill, the fairies' revenge, a glimpse of the Brownies and a mother goose party. The concert is given in aid of the Presbyterian church building fund. ;._, A Distressing Case. The old man Markell is still held in custody pending medical examination. His is a peculiar case. It is not charged that he is a dangerous lunatic, but yet he is hot able to care for himself. He is hardly a case for a lunatic asylum and has not been long enough in the country to qualify for admission to the old men's home at Kamloops. Markell spent most of his time in Kaslo and only paid Nelson an occasional visit since 1892. Preparing for the Contest. Charlie Goff had his last sparing exercise in the fire hall yesterday, and says he will not put on the gloves again until he meets Jimmie Burns in the ring at the opera IrousenbirFridSyTfiiglrtT==Bufnsl3onr tinues in training and his trainer avows that his man was never in better condition. Both contestants will put on the gloves in the best of form, and will show some smart and scientific work. Only Two Drunks in Court. There were only two drunks in police court yesterday morning. The first was a new offender in this district at least, and was fined $5 and costs. The second was a somewhat old offender and in his case the fine was raised to $10 and costs whicli brings it up to $12.25. He is a local expressman who goes on a periodical. Health Talk. An illustrated health talk to mothers and daughters will be given at the Fraternity hall, on Saturday, May llth, at 3 o'clock p. m., by Miss Ball, of the Canadian- Viavi Company. Collection will' be taken up to defray expenses. " .. s' " The hotels of the city were filled to overflowing last night. The opening of tlie assizes' today has brought to town a number of the legal profession as well as parties engaged in litigation. J. C. Bradshaw, the popular C. P. R. conductor, is receiving congratulations all round on the increase which came to his family circle on Sunday in the shape of a new baby boy. A meeting of the grocers of the city will be held in the Miners' Union hall this evening at 8 o'clock to consider matters dealing with the trade. CUP CHALLENGER PROVES HER SUPERIORITY. Wind Conditions Were Favorable and the Race Was Interesting Throughout. Southampton,May G.���The Shamrocks had a second spin this morning and the result supports the view that the cup challenger is vastly superior to the old bftat when close hauled, but the older boat can travel equally fast when sailing before the wind. Afresh, squally northeast wind promised just the conditions captain Sycamore desired to supplement Saturday's light breeze trial. The Challenger set a club topsail and the Shamrock I set a much larger club topsail. They had the wind aft down the water. The challenger went out under mainsail and topsail only. The Shamrock I set a jib at" the start. The challenger ran out ahead, but the Shamrock I catching a breeze soon began to overhaul her. The challenger set a jib and staysail, but though the. breeze here was light and the water smooth the Shamrock I held close astern, losing nothing from Nettley to Calsho. There they hauled into the wind and reached along iu a fresher breeze, the challenger leading by half a minute passing the spit-light. After clearing the spit light they reached off for a few minutes, and the challenger drew away from the other fast and steadily. The boats bore away for Cowes to take sail- maker Ratzy on board. (, Both were then ranged in. line, off the Squadron castle and the Erin gave the signal to go. The challenger was ^yell placed to windward, but apparently she desired to give the Shamrock I the advantage of start, - for the new boat -was deliberately reached off across the stern of the other boat, and took up a position half a mile away on her lee quarter with the intention, it seemed, of trying whether she could make up this on the stretch out to Lyming- tou. Both sailed far enough off the wind to keep their sails full, and the challenger footed much faster than Shamrock I. In the course of half an hour she had drawn ahead and was wide Under the lee bow of the former challenger. She then threw around and just failed to cross ahead of the Shamrock. Passing close astern of the old Shamrock, the Sliamroek II was luffed up and pointing wonderfully high and sailing fast for a few minutes, she was able to pass the old boat wide to weather and bear =away=across4iei^bows^a=fact=Avhich= gave ample proof that she was not pushed to her full strength. Previously the Erin had gone ahead aud stopped, forming a mark for the boats to round. The challenger might easily have been there first, but she bore away and waited for the Shamrock I to round the mark, following up two minutes later. All the way down the Shamrocks had a good ten knot breeze and a strong tide, with little sea. Under these conditions the Shamrock I was no match for the new challenger. Jib and topsail were sot as the boats ran back to Cowes. All the way back they had a strong tide and a stern wind, whicli fell lighter. The booms were well set and the wind well astern. Going free in this manner, the new yacht was quite unable to catch Shamrock I, aud for five miles there was no change in their positions. A big reaching jib was tried on the challenger, but the Shamrock I held her distance, and at the finish of the spin the gap between them was practically tlie same as when they started. Little "Tatters" Tired of Life. Nkw Youk, May (5.���Henry Kreig, 8 years old, of west Thirty- eighth street, and Thomas O'Neil, 0 years old, a playmate, left home to go to Sunday school. When the O'Neil boy returned alone the Kreig parents asked for an explanation. The O'Neil boy said that they had gone to the river i\. the foot of west Fourth and were playing on tlie barges there when suddenly he heard a splash; when he looked around Kreig was nowhere to be seen. The Kreig boy's father is confident that the boy was drowned. The father says that he has had very little work during the past winter; times were so hard that he was not able to buy his son suitable clothes, and lie was very ragged. On several Sundays the boy stayed away from Sunday school because he said the other little boys made remarks about his rags, calling him "Tatters." This time when he was told he would have to go he left the house in obedience to his father's command, but it seems that he could not face the comments of his companions. The Jacksonville Holocaust. Jacksonville, May 6.���S. A. Cottery, who was employed at the Gardner shipyards, almost lost his ,lifei in trying to save the people who rushed down Market street to the river when the flames were at their fiercest. He says he succeeded in getting twenty persons across the river, but as many more were either burned to death or drowned at the pier. Thousands of people worked Saturday and last night. The firemen have not been relieved. The debris is still burning, and streams of water are being poured into the flames and embers all the time night and day. - It will be several days before a car can pass into East Bay street. Ten military companies are still on duty to prevent vandalism. Martial law probably will be enforced at least another week. The weather is much more comfortable today and the work of rehabilitation is being vigorously prose-0 cuted. Jacksonville, May 6.���An estimate of the total loss by the fire as given out by a former tax collector this afternoon is as follows: Public buildings, $1,088,000; stores on the north side of Bay street, $495,000; stores on the south side of Bay street, $880,000; stores on Forsyth street, $40,000; stores' on Main street, $309,000; residences, promineut, $778,000; residences, 1500 small, $2,000,000; residents' personal effects, $2,300,000; stocks of goods-in large stores, $1,030,000; stocks in 200 smaller stores, $550,- 000; street railways, $30,000; pavements, $100,000.

SAD CONDITIONS IN CHINA THE INDEMNITY QUESTION ONLY SECONDARY. One Million People, It Is Estimated, Have Lost Their Lives Through Violence or Starvation. - New York, May 0.���The latest mail from China, says a Washington special to the Tribune, haa brought to the state department new proofs of the terrible arid perhaps irretrievable conditions which exist under foreign military ruling in North China, involving a situation not hitherto realized even in Washington and utterly unappreciated in the United States generally. The character of the iufoi ma- tion which has now come into the administration's possession is summarized in the following extracts from a communication from one of the most trusted officials.in the ser- > vice abroad and mailed from Pekin a month ago. The question of rais- - ing the indemnity, though one of the most serious for tlie Chinese government, is not paramouut. AU the people who are likely to know declare that the Chinese can stand no greater burden of taxation than iri the past, so the question resolves itself largely to reducing the expense of collection, which in China involves radical reforms. Another proposition for meeting the iudem- " nity is to grant lucrative mining and industrial concessions to for-, eigners, but that means bartering their independence and laying up endless trouble for the Chinese, who are quick to recognize the wrong. If the whole horror of the murder and pillage done between Tien- Tsin and Pekin comes to be understood in America and Europe the sum of it is so'great as compared to the number of Christians' who have suffered at the hands of the Chinese, rightly or wrongly, the Chinese are held to be the injured party. Lancers impaling little children by the wayside in the streets of Pekin are some of the well authenticated horrors, and to some foreign soldiers a dead Chinese Christian is just as satisfactory as a Boxer. They neither know nor care for such trifling distinctions. The allies, even if they could agree, could not set np an administrative machinery of their own for - the empire. They must restore the ' power to some native party, and the quicker they do it the better for China. The Chinese estimate that one million of their people have lost their lives by violent deaths-or���from���starvation���about��� Pekin and Tien-Tsin since the allies came. Well informed people do not regard the estimate as exaggerated. The North China News of March 28 endeavoring to tell why such a situation as the one alleged can exist,says: Simply because Chinese civil authority has been suppressed and driven away and nothing substituted for it. The country between the sea and Pekin has been devastated and the people have been killed indiscriminately or driven out of their homes to become bandits. We should have thought that one of the first acts of the foreign administration after Pekin was relieved would have been to strengthen the Chinese civil authority and make it responsible for the preservation of order. But what magistrate can be expected to remain at his post and exert himself to put down opposition to foreigners when at any. moment a foreign lieutenant with a handful of troops may come to him and demand a sum of money on pain of having his town or village burned down in case of refusal. Total Losses Against the Boers. London, May 0.���The war office today officially gives out the total number of deaths iu the South African war at 714 officers and 14,2(34 men.

Someof the church people object to Sunday ball in the recreation grounds'be- cause it proves a formidable rival to church services. The tramway people also object because sinners who enjoy Sunday ball on 'the'recreation grounds are not obliged to patronize the tram cars. It was therefore not difficult for the two forces to unite upon a common line of action to prevent Sunday ball in the recreation grounds. The matter was discussed at a meeting of the St. Andrew's Society on Saturday evening, when stirring speeches in favor of Sunday observance were made by tramway stockholders present, and last evening the resolution was launched in the city council which in effect says, that, ���to please God and the tramway Company there shall be no more Sunday ball on the recreation grounds, but that a suitable place for. such games can be found at the foot of the tramway company's track in Bogustown. THE SEAFARERS The merchants of Nelson should get together and talk over the Thursday holiday wrinkle if they do not wish to drive trade away from the city. Complaint against the innovation is general. It comes from people who desire to buy and from those who desire to sell. Nelson's merchants do considerable business with outside points, and it is a trade whicli will grow if no obstacles be placed in the way. What -effect-will���ThursdayJs=closing-have= upon the Kaslo trade?* Will the people of Kaslo time their visits to Nelson stores so that they can buy Nelson goods without being obliged to lay over an extra day?

London, May. 0.���There was unusual animation and attendance iu the house of commons today, when the last installment of the coal tax resolution debate was opened by sir Edward Grey, Liberal, who defined the measure as harsh and oppressive. Lord Cranborne, the under secretary, informed Mr. Dillon, Nationalist, that the withdrawal of a portion of the troops "in the province of Pe Chi Li was in contemplation, and that so soon asc China should comply with the more important demands of the powers a larger reduction would occur. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary,'' informed a questioner that no gold had been produced in the ZEransvaal stamps started stamps started today, since- January_l,Jbnt_50. May 4 and 100 Nothing was heard in the council meeting last evening of the system of special assessments for necessary public works. It is now generally admitted that the recommendation from the public works committee is an ill digested measure, which if it is to receive further consideration ���will require material amendment. It is hinted, however, that the recommendation will find its way into the big safe, along with the bylaw to regulate the mayor, and in time be forgotten. The Dunsmuir government received three- offers for the building of the projected railway from the Coast to Boundary, and is now being held up by its supporters in order that the subsidy may be secured by the company which promises the least return for it. How the President Views It. Nkw York, May 6.���A. L. Trues- dale, president of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, when asked yesterday about the strike of the company's employees at Scranton, said: "I understand that all the men employed in the car repairing, blacksmith and paint- shops to the number of 1000, have struck because we suspended an employee. Their action was very unjust, because the man grossly disobeyed the company's rules in quitting work and leaving the grounds without a permit. I am not informed whether the men will go back tb work or not. If they do not their places will probably be quickly supplied. Their going out will make no real hardships for us for several weeks to come because our rolling stock is just now in first- class condition." Fatally Wounded His Young Bride. Beli.kont, Pennsylvania, May 0. ���Jessetta King of Milllieim today shot and fatally wounded his bride of two months and when an officer attempted to arrest him King shot himself through the heart and died almost instantly. Tlie couple quarreled considerably during their brief married life. Mrs. King spent most of the timo during the past fortnight at her parents' home. Yesterday she returned to her husband and another quarrel ensued, when the young wife declared she would leave him today for good. This morning Mrs. King made ready to depart and the husband, unable to persuade her to remain, secured his revolver and shot his wife in the body. King then went to his father's house, told him what he had done and angrily declared he would return and finish the job. In the meantime Mrs. King managed to make her way to squire Musser's office at Milllieim, and a constable was sent to arrest King. He met the angry husband on his way to Millheim, aud when King saw the officer he immediately shot himself, dying iu about ten minutes. Mrs. King is still alive, but the doctors say she cannot recover. Jealousy was the cause of the crime. A Murder Mystery. Chicago, May C���The Tribune says the body of a man' found in the slip at Morgan street and the South Branch is believed by the police to show a murder committed during a strike last winter. The man is thought to have been Bert Shaw, formerly of Greene, New York, and a member of Local Union No. 7 of the Woodworkers. The police think Shaw was concerned iu the strike at Ganger's planing mill and that he was murdered and thrown into the river. There were signs of violence on the body. A. union card and a letter of recommendation from a manufacturing company of Greene, New York, were found in his clothing. The police think the man was killed about the time of the murder of the non-union man Farrass in November, 1000. They believe the man met death at the hands of the same gang.

The deal includes all the leading mines in the Hocking valley coal fields and a number in the Lunday creek district. The transfer has been engineered by agents ot J. P. Morgan.' Hernandez addressed president McKinley on behalf of his own chief magistrate, extending the latter's congratulations and president McKinley paid a high tribute to the president of the Mexican republic aud charged the emissary to convey to his chief expressions of warm regard and personal . esteem and best wishes for the continued prosperity of our sister republic. The president's speech was very happy, aud was especially notable ou account of his injunction to the people not to be alarmed about "imperialism." There was, he said, no imperialism except the imperial power of tlie sovereign people of United States. The governor of Chihuahua also warmly welcomed the president to the border. The exercises in tlie plaza were preceded by a military parade. The ladies of the cabinet crossed the railway Rio Grande Juarez, where they were tendered a breakfast by Juan Ochoa, a prominent Mexican banker. Mrs. McKinley did not attend the breakfast, but enjoyed a short drive during the morning. At noon the presidential party resumed its journey westward. Hill Denies It. New York, May C���James J.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-05-07 |
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. |
