Ct MONDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG MINE HAS A FORTY-FOOT LED3E OF FREE MILLING ORE. May and Jennie on Forty-nine Credited With Being a Richer Property Than the Ymir. Although the officers of the company developing the May aud Jennie properties continue to preset-vo tlie greatest secrecy with respect to the manner in which this Forty-nine creek property is developing, much continues to leak out iu support of the contention of many that the May aud Jennie will develop into the greatest free- milling mino iu British Columbia. People who believed that nothing good could bo found on Forty-nine, looked upon the bonding of the May and Jennie group as one��of the mining ventures in which all mining operations would be performed upon.the bank accounts of confiding investors, aud they regarded the erection of a large mill on the property as a process of rubbing it in. In cho face of this adverse opinion, howover, work upon the property has been pushed ahead systematically, and the May nnd Jennie now" ranks third in Nelson district as a labor-employing property. Since all information as to development is carefully withhe'd, ifc is difficult to verify the rumors as to tho extent and richness of the May and Jenuio ore bodies as opened up. A prospector was in Nelson yesterday, however, who visited the company's workings ou the Gold Bell claim, arid at this ^poiht he asserts the company has tapped a ledge at depth, .which on "his own, measurement ..was forty feet wide., The. character of Lhe ore ihthisrledge differs from that encountered in the first workings, and'so far as he. could seo tho entire ledge matter was free milling, from which gold could bo panned. ' All the company's assaying, however, is done oh the ground, and results kept as quiet as possible, but This Tribune's informant .states tliat there we're portions of the big ledge whicli" he was told went as high as $100 to tho ton. If tliis is correct, it no doubt accounts for the reports heard from time to time thafc the owners of the May and Jennie have a bigger property than the Ymir, and should stimulate interest in Forty-nine creek property. Frank O'Brien has returned from a trip to the Arlington mine near Erie. He reports that the 30-ton ���mill���whicli���the���owners���of���the Arlington aro erecting "will be complete and iu operation by tho first of June if tho balance of tho machinery now on the way arrives -within the expected time. The mill is being installed more with a view tb thoroughly testing the ore bodies of the Arlington than anything else, aud will be connected with the mine by a tramway, construction upon which is also well advanced. May Be Hanged in July. Fred Collins, who was sentenced to death at the Golden assize for the murder of -Arthur. Dardo, known as the "Banjo Kid," was brought to Nelson last evening in charge of constable Bowers of Fort Steele. The murder, whieh took place in Peterboro on October 9lhu, was the outcome ;of a drunken row, hi whicli the Kid used a bottle on Collins' head, aud in return Collins shot the Kid in his room in a Peterboro hotel. The defense entered at the..'.'. tt'iel was insanity, it being claimed that the blow received by -Collins the night before'thb, killing, unhinged his mind. If the law is allowed.to take its course Collins will be hanged on July 20th. Getting Beady to Leave. . Pekin, May 19.���General Chaffee at midnight last night issued his' farewell order ending tho American relief expedition in China. The American troops will board the transport next Wednesday at Taku arid Thursday will leave direct for Manila. M. Pichon, tlie French minister, left for homo tliis morning. A meeting of the foreign ministers will be held tomorrow, but it is not likely that much will be accomplished, as some of the ministers have not yet received instructions from their home governments. The ministers, commenting upon the blame attached to them by the people for their slowness, say that as a matter of /act they are powerless to act without orders from home. One of the foreign ministers told the correspondent of the Associated Press yesterday, that he had been instructed to co-operate with another minister. He found, upon consultation with his colleagues, that their instructions were absolutely different from his. Consequently co-operatiou was practically impossible. The Servian Mix-up. Belgrade, May 19.��� All rumors regarding the abdication of king Alexander, the resignation of the cabinet and tho banishment of queen Draga, growing out of the recent, sensational experiences of the Servian royal family, are. declared to be without foundation. Professor Cantacuzeneof Bucharest, who was summoned with. Dr. Wertheimer of Vienna, announced that queen Draga presents all the symptoms of false or nervous pregnancy and that the rapid development of the symptoms were brought about by the advice given her majesty by Dr. . Caulet who, in urging her to lead a sedentary life, encouraged the queen in the opinion that she was enciente and produced au abnormal condition calculated to mislead both herself and her entourage. - The two specialists declare that queen Draga is sufferiug from netritid, '.but that her condition is not serious. A Fatal Accident. Youngstown, Ohio, 'May 19.��� Two men are dead aud three are expected to die as the result of an accident in the Bessemer depart-' /ment of' the National Steel Company's plant today. The-accident was caused by the cover of a mammoth converter letting go and allowing thirteen tons of molten metal to flow oyer the mill. - The dead men are Hungarians. SAYS SUPPOSlN'^obW'tvGO Mayor Replies to Dr. Hall, Nothing has yet been done in the matter of removing the friction which exists between tlie medical health officer and some bf tiie other doctors in the'eity. Mayor Fletcher, was seen yesterday by a Trihune representative, but aside from his intimation that Dr. Hall had got off wrong with respect tb the reporting of suspected cases ho ,had no information to give out. In speaking of Dr. Hall's letter the mayor remarked that Dr. Hall, appeared to be amazed at what he had said at the recent meeting of the board of health with respect to the reporting of cases of infectious .diseases; buLafter reading the. doctor's letter he found nothing in it to make him change his opinion or in any way affecting the truth of what he had said. The mayor remarked that the doctor and himself appeared to be working under different authorities. The. doctor cited the health regulations of 1S9G, ���.which were framed prior to Nelson's incorporation, while he had cited the Health Act whicli was . passed in 1897. Dr. Hall, having been a member of the city council, should have been aware of the fact that the city possessed a health bylaw, section 10 of which is practically word for word with section 74 of Provincial Health Act, 1897, and reads as follows: Wliouuvur any phyHioiuii known that any porson whom lie la called upon to visit is infected wilh smallpox, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhus or l-yphoid tu\ ur, or cholera, such person shall (.subject iu rn o o( refusal or neglect to tho pun-. allitH provided for by sub-?ection *? of section !���;) within Iwontj-f jur houi\-3 give .written nolico thereof to I he mcdioal health olllcor (if any) of the munio pality or outlying district in which such disen��\ d person is, and, if there be no med- ic;il lioali li ulllcer, then to tho local board. "The doctor seems very much concerned,", added mayor Fletcher, "about the dignity of the profession., I am afraid the profession is very much degraded in every community that boasts of a. health officer. If Dr. Hall, or others who have- complaints to make, would take the moro dignified course of putting them in writing to the local health board, instead of airing them in the street or in private, there would be less friction and not the same opportunities for exaggeration and misrepresentation. Tlie doctor's insinuation against some, of the city's paid officials, without making a definite charge, places a value on his opinions wifch reference to those matters whicli needs little comment." WILL NOT AFFECT NELSON SYMPATHETIC STRIKE BEPORT OFFICIALLY DENIED. Trouble at the Le Roi Company's Smelter at Northport Will Not Involve Canadian Smelters. ��� The minors curreut on Saturday to the effect that a strike was pending among the smelter men which would result in shutting down the Nelson aud Trail smelters are altogether incorrect. Some trouble has cropped up at the LoRoi company's smelter at Northport, and the alarmists immediately started the report that a sympathetic strike would be made at Nelson and Trail. Concerning the trouble at the Northport smelter there are two versions. The company's story is that the members of the smelter union were endeavoring to secure tho discharge pf the foreman, who was not a member of the union; but the" union men claim that there is an organized attempt being made to break up their union, and that in any event it would suit the purpose of the Le Roi company to keep the smelter shut down for a time, and place the responsibility for the shut-down upon the union. The Northport union does its banking in Rossland, and a trip of the union's officer's to. make a deposit furnished the grounds, for the .report that their mission to this side was to secure a sympathetic strike of.the custom smelters at Nelson and Trail. - .' James Wilks, who in the absence of Chris Foley looks, after his work as a member of th'e executive of the Western Federation, was seen by a Tribune representative last evening with respect to the Northport situation. He said-he had not been fully iuformed with respect to the situation,- but f irpnr sucli..knowledge. as he had the ciirjrent repdrts were very wide of the'truth', both as to" tho causes for the trouble aud its probable exfceut. Upon one poiut, however, Mr. Wilks could speak definitely. There was no ground for the report of a sympathetic strike at Nelson and Trail, and in this respect any trouble which may be brought about at Northport would have no bearing whatever upon the Nelson aud Trail smelters. Personally, Mr. Wilks said, he did not favor sympathetic strikes, such as were suggested, arid with respect to the Hall Mining' aud Smelting Compauy he said the officers of the union were fully satisfied with tho treatment received, and throughout the entire Nelson district the relations between the unions and the mining companies were more _cordial_than_ever_lbefore,_and_iiu marked contrast with the conditions prevailing at Rossland between the union and some of the employing companies. Tlio Smelter-Men's ^ Union at Northport, with which'.the present difficulty has arisen,~was organized by Mr. Wilks and is ~'a very strong organization, and at the request of its members Mr. Wilk| Twill leave Nelson today for- Northport. ��� . , Passed His - Last Gold Brick. OakIjAND, May 19.--r;peserted by his partners in crinie^raen in rthe making of whose fortunes he was instrumental, "Big "Foot" David Gordon, reputed the cleverest gold brick man "of America,' became a maniac at San Quentin. From the penitentiary he was transferred to the asylum for the insane at Napa, where he died April 2nd, and was buried in'the asylum graveyard. Gordon was* one of the most remarkable criminals of the age. With his pals in the Eastern States he is credited with having cleaned up millions in the gold brick business, and it was not until he came to the'Coast and established headquarters iu Oaklaud-that the police finally landed him behind .the bars. It was early in 1890 that the Oakland authorities were advised that a trio of the gold-brick men were making headquarters here and fleecing bankers from the country towns. Chief of police Hodgkins, then on the detective force, found that in a few months the men had. cleaned up something over $100,000, and on April 22, 1890, he arrested Gordon at Fifth- and Market, San Francisco. A few days later Gordon's pals, Root, alias Raymond, and Joseph Leeke, alias Wood, were taken into custody after a hard fight in Alameda, where they were iu hiding. Chief nodgkina had evidence that the men buncoed banker Little of Dixon out of $10,000; S. A. Hofstra, a prosperoiis rancher of, Santa Clara counts', $18,000; banker Richards of Napa, $10,000, nnd a prosperous mining man from Sacramento counts', $25,000. There were others, but they refused to give testimony against the accused. Leeke, who acted the Indian in the gold-brick game, could not be identified, and was released. Gordon and Root were held for trial, and Root forfeited $7500 bail to escape an appearance before a jury.' Gordon was finally convicted and was sent to San Quentin for 10 years. Prospective' Mining Boom. New York, May 18.���-Evidence is not lacking, says the Tribune's correspondent, that there will be, a South African mining boom before many weeks. o Johannesburg is gradually filling, the mines are reopening, ���* and arrangements are making for the reorganization of the government of the town. The reopening of the "Kaffir Circus" would have at least one good result. It would engross the attention of the capitalist class and allow it less leisure for meddling in the government of the new, British colonies. Some of sir Alfred Milner's recent appointments .iu the Transvaal have excited much criticism. The eight powerful groups of capitalists have been represented too conspicuously in these appointments, and a feeling of distrust has been created which tends to retard the pacification of South Africa." It is said that general. Botha, as soon as he learned that sir Alfred Milner was about to leave South Africa, sent a mounted: messenger to gen-, eral Kitchener with a view to the reopening of peace negotiations, General Botha wanted to communicate with Mr.; Kruger, but lord Kitchener said he could' have no dealings with the. ex-president. TELECRAMS IN BRIEF FORM From Various Sources. ST. ALBANS, Vermont, 18.��� -Two hundred anil fifty ..machinists and metal workers employed in the locomotive department of the Central Vermont Railroad shops struck here today, a.nine hour work day having been refused by tho company. ' * VIENNA, 18.���A story is current here that queen Draga of Servia took poison when the king discovered the situation caused by the conflicting statements regarding her health, and that the queen is dangerously ill from the effects of the poisoning. ELIZABETH, New York, 18.��� All the machinists and employees in the shops of the Central Railroad of-New���Jersey���here���went-oufc-on- strike today for a nine-hour work day at the same rate of pay that has been given for a ten-hour day. The company had answered their demands by saying it could not grant their requests. LONDON, 18.���At the Gatwick spring meeting today, Sherness, with J. Reiff up, won the Prince's handicap of 100 sovereigns. Sweet- sounds was second and First Principal third. Eight horses ran. Cyncnal was first, Faisand-Or second and Claqueqe third in the race for the Marlborough stakes of 500 sovereigns. .-," Immense Railroad Profits. San Francisco, May 19.���The Southern Pacific continues to make large gains in earnings. It has averaged more than $0,400,000 per month in gross earnings so far the present fiscal year. The latest statement on the subject,-issued by chairman E. H.-IIarriman. of the executive committee shows the receipts and expenditures for the first nine months of the present fiscal year, or from July 1, ,1900, to March 31, 1901, inclusive. During that period the. )gross receipts amounted to $57;708,277, an increase of $5,581,440 over the same period of the year before. Operating expenses were $30,294,641, an increase of $2,052,551. Net earnings aggregated $21,413,580, or an increaso of $2,928,895. Mr. Harriman's statement of Union Pacific earnings for the same period shows gross earnings of $32,842,044, an increase of $3,184,140. Expenses,including taxes,amounted to$18,372,908, an increaseof $2,357,- 289. The surplus amounted to $14,409,130, an increase of $820,858. A PUZZLE FOR THE POWERS HOW THE CHINESE INDEMNITY IS TO BE RAISED. Boers Being Gradually Rounded Up. Ford's Weekly Review of European Conditions. New York, May 19.���In a dispatch dated London, 1 a. m., I. N. Ford, correspondent of the New York Tribune, says: The China situation remains enveloped in fog, and there are no signs that - it will , be cleared speedily. The principle of indemnity has been accepted,-but ways and means by which it can be paid'baffles the ingenuity of. the financial experts. The Chinese proposals for the payment in thirty annual installments covered by a moderate increase of the maritime customs are not satisfactory to Germany, but there is no ground for suspicion that the' Berlin government is raising objections capriciously for the sake of prolonging the occupation. The German emperor and "count Von Waldersee are evidently eager to bring about a settlement, as they are weary of the negotiations, but they insist upon having a full guarantee for the payment of the money with in-. , teres t. The Chinese government is not in haste and there is practical reason for delay. The Manchurian dynasty represented the anti-foreign feeling before Pekin was occupied, and there is no evidence that its influence has been impaired by the disaster which" has befallen the ' empire. It has succeeded in regain; ing prestige by allowing the negotiations to.drag along, and offering resistance to the demands of- the ; powers, and by 'exhausting their. . patience, " It has recovered in' this -way the.reputation,of being*hostile to foreign influence and of standing tenaciouslyvfor Chinese interests. ! / " ������ ' " - Slowly Approaching the.End. - The arrival .of' sixteen hundred voluuteers at Southampton aud the cordial welcome - offered to two companies at St. Martin's town hall and the lower hamlets are incidents indicating that the war is slowly' but surely coming to an end. Dis: patches from South Africa point'in the same direction^- The. best sign is - the waning sympathy for the Boers now in the field on purposeless operations. < Bands of guerillas are still holding out, but the commanders are no longer hampered by treacherous spies and they have increased facilities for finding out what is going on and for making captures of-men, arms_and_stores.���A-fresh- incursion of Boers in Cape Colony is explained by the necessity of obtaining supplies. If the remainder of commandoes are not overtaken when pursued the British gradually deprive them of horses and wear them out by driving them constantly from place to place. The refuge camps are filled with women \vhose fathers, husbands and brothers are prisoners and whose ardor for the Boer cause is yielding to intense longing for the return of the burghers. Lord Kitchener's work cannot be called brilliant, but it is done thoroughly. District after district of the Transvaal and the northern section of the Orange Rivor Colony is being swept and tho Boers are being harassed by constant movement. King Edward's Tact. Since the royal family is out of everything this year, there . is, no season. "The king, instead of setting the style for country-bouse and week-end parties and increasing the atteudance of smart people at the race course,'; is now engrossed in state" affairs,7 the renovation of palaces and the-raihor details of in- vestitude and decorations. He will receive sir Alfred Milner at Marlborough House precisely as queen Victoria welcomed lord Roberts at Osborne and will set the seal of royal approval upon the public appreciation of the high commissioner's services. This is new proof of the king's desire to follow his mother's example just as his decision that hpr birthday shall be celebrated and not his own, and is fresh evidence of his tact. The king's influence on public affairs is likely to be more potent than hers because he is more neutral- in politics. While lord - Salisbury and Mr. Chamberlain are singled out for the honor of escorting,sir Alfred Milner to Marlborough House, their relations with the king are official and impersonal. The king is. not likely to consider lord Salisbury's wishes when he persists in retiring from office and the selection of , his successor is necessary. Nobody knows whether Mr. Chamberlain stands as high with king Edward as he did with queen Victoria. The king is a true non-partisan, and has no favorites among statesmen and politicians. The Cup Challenger. The sporting press today take doleful views of the chances of the Shamrock II for winning the America's cup. All conclusions based upon the performance of the yacht are premature. Captain Sycamore was not satisfied with the sailing arrangements even before Mr. Fife's* boat ran away from him, and he also suspected that Mr. Watson's boat was leaking. Experts , who have" been favored with a close inspection of the new yacht when she was docked at Southampton assert that there "are no secrets 'of construction, and that she is simply an enlarged Solent 30-footer with a deeper fin and with the bulk of .lead at, the forward end of it. Sportsmen describe Mr. Watson's boat as unfit for racing during -the recent trial,' but are not confident that she cau be tuned up against the older Shamrock" for a convincing demonstration of" superior speed. 0 . __L Miscellaneous Notes. " The reports of scientific parties observing the eclipse of the sun are still incomplete and are less satisfactory than had been hoped,- al- , though some successful photographs, of the corona have been taken. The death of lord Rosebery's .mother, the duchess of Cleveland; at the advanced age of 82, is re-, ported rfrom Germany. She was Ithe author of "The Roll-of Battle Abby", and was- an.industrious reader, lord Rosebery inheriting from her his strong literary abilities.

She is resting well." At 9 o'clock the following bulletin was issued: "Mrs. McKinley's physicians report that she has had a good day and progress since morning is satisfactory." President McKinley is in receipt of cablegrams from the king of England, president Loubet of France and many other European potentates inquiring as to Mrs. McKinley's conditionr-^-Among���the "^callers-today on president McKinley was Calvin S. Titus, the first American soldier to mount the walls of Pekin, who returned Friday on the transport Sheridan. ��� ��� To Race Today. South AjMpton, May 19. ��� Sir Thomas Lipton said to a representative of the Associated Press tonight: ���'Everything connected with the Shamrock II is now in proper condition for a thorough raciug trial. I am determined that the challenger and the former challenger shall fight it out in a manner to test their respective abilities beyond all question. Both yachts will be sent out tomorrow for a long day's racing on the outside course, aud an endeavor will be made to test them on every possible point of sailing in whatever weather offers. .The trials will be continued daily, and the Shamrock II will be driven as hard as possible, with the double purpose of pfeoving her speed and of deciding any weakness.'.' ��� Turkey Will Apologize. Constantinople, May 19,���Ahmed Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of foreign affairs, called upon the ambassadors and notified them of Turkey's desire to reestablish the status quo on the postal question and her intention to send a high functionary, probably the foreign minister himself, to apologize for the violations of the foreign mail bags. The ambassadors met yesterday at the residence of the German ambassador to determine what attitude to adopt in view of the complete submission of the sublime porte.

If it is, it is a notice that should meet with the approval of the people. Governments should -be willing to help those who actually do something to open up and develop new sections of the country. This is the policy adopted by the government of this province; a policy that is approved by the people, however much it may be denounced by ther few whose one idea of provincial development is. centered in the building of the Coast-to-Kootenay railway, a railway that if built would not - touch any point in Kootenay. .

W_hy should the proposed lead refinery be built outside of Kootenay? Nelson cau secure the refinery if only her people will pull together. No point in the piovince is more accessible to all tho silver-lead districts, and no point has better transportation facilities. Tho City of Nelson could afford to subscribe for $100,000 of the share capital of a company thafc meant'business. Newspapers like the Slocan City Drill and the Kaslo Kootenaian say the laws enacted at the last session of,the legislature were of no importance. The members of the legislature should be congratulated. If the laws enacted are of no importance, no harm can result from their enforcement. W 00 .00 . 00 .00 . 00 .00 . 00 If James J.

Limited. j The proposed railway from Midway to the Coast is no more important to the province than either of the other four mentioned in the Railway Subsidy.Act. Jits importance rests almost wholly on the fact that it is a "political" railway. Its charter was obtained by politicians, and they sold .it for a price to another crowd of politicians. -These politicians, in turn, hired another crowd of politicians to secure provincial and. Dominion subsidies that would go a long way toward covering . the cost of its construction. They failed to secure these subsidies, and now, according to their newspaper organs, the province of British Columbia is on the verge of rPn" . A 'par more important railway to Kootenay is the proposed railway through East Kootenay from north to south. When built it will open a country in every way as promising as that between Midway aud the Coast. /Yet, .how many newspapers in Kootenay are pre dicting blue ruin if it is not bnilt at once? Evidently this railway, which will, benefit Kootenay when built, is hob a "political".railway. Another railway which is not "political" is the proposed railway from Vernon- to Midway. If built it would give transportation facilities to the farmers of one of the finest ranching _ districts' of ��� the province. It would give the farmers, stock raisers) and fruit growers of the Okanagan valley .easy access to the mining camps of Southern Yale and Southern Kootenay��� mining camps whose food suppies come largely from points in - the neighboring state of Washington. How many newspapers are predicting that the business of the province will, of necessity, be at a stand- stil until this road is built ? L Not one I Up north, where there is not a mile of railway, but where is said to ,be varied and great natural resources, only awaiting capital to transform them iuto dividend-paying industries, one of the proposed railways���is���subsidized.���Were���it- buil t, the - trade of both ��� Victoria and Vancouver would be largely increased, for they could have no coihpetitors. Yet never a word is said about the building of that road- by the newspapers of Vancouver or Victoria. SLOCAN MINING NEWS. Vancouver Island is a most important portion of the province. It has immense deposits of coal ^aiid other minerals, vast areas of forest, and large tracts of fine farming land. It has less than one hundred miles of railway in all. One of the roads mentioned in the. Railway Subsidy Act, if built, would traverse the Island from end to end. The building of the road could have but one result���the bringing of trade to Victoria. But how many public meetings have been held in that city to influence legislative action regarding its building? Was there one? The Island road, evidently, is no more "political" than either of the other three above mentioned. Reports from the Wonderful are most encouraging. The Sandon Mining Review believes that this property will turn out to be one of the big mines of the district. The' following-named mines shipped from . Sandon- last week: Slocan Star 120 tons, Last Chance 20, American Boy 20, aud Colonial 20. The Payne has cut down the working force to 40 men, all of whom are employed on development woik. J. A. Baker of Slocan City goes to Denver, Colorado", as delegate from the Slocan City Miners' Union to the annual convention of the Western Federation of Miners. According to the Silverton Sil- vertonian the mine*? that ship from Slo'can lake points have marketed 2786 tons of ore this year, of the approximate " value of- $200,000. Last year the total shipments were 4930 tons. Electric power may be used for operating machine drills at the Reco and other mines near Sandon. J. M. Harris is said to be willing to put in the required plant. P. L. Morgan was injured in a 'cave at the Queen Bess mine on Friday. ' The Sandon Paystreak is authority for the statement that a good strike was made'in the upper tunnel of the Donnelley mine on Wednesday. Rumor has it that J. A. McDonald's ice cream parlors on Baker street are the finest in the city. rxzzzziaxxzxzxxxxxxxxxxzzxxxzzxxxxxxxxiixxx :xxxxx: xxxxx; Women's Summer Underwear Summer Underwear in Cotton, Lisle, Wool and Silk, with 'either short or long" sleeves.

ALBANY'S STRIKE SETTLED IT COST ALMOST SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Both Sides Made Material Concessions and Both Claim Victory���Terms of Agreement. Albany, May 18.���The great strike is over. A thousand men iu five citie3 who have beeu idle for seven days returned to work at . noon. Forcy-six miles of track that was rusted for a like period, except where a guarded ear spotl over it, began to be polished by the schedule-running cars. Three thous.md members of the National Guard in soggy clothes from a drenching rain began preparations to go home. The strike has been of twelve days'duration and the total cost in all ways to date is estimated as follows: Loss of life, two prominent citizens; cost to company, $17,- 42-1.03; cost to strikers, $17,820;. cost county, $33,700. Total, $08,- 943.03. The agreement���entered into is as follows: First, the road will contiuuo to recoguize and treat with any committee of its employees repre=ent- '"Ing organized or unorganized labor , wl\en" they desire to be heard iu refeience to any grievances. Second, any nian who may bo suspended or discharged by the superintendent shall be entitled to appeal to the executive couiuiitloe of the company. Third, conductors and motortnen who exhibit their badges by pinning them upon the lapels of their cjats shJill be permitted to ride without payment of fare on all cars opei ated on a division on which conductors ~ and motormen belong. Fourth, inspectors ridiug on cars shall not be registered as passengers unless a pass is given. Fifth, the road will pay all employees for time lost when they have been suspended by the company and found not guilty. , Sixth, there will be no discrimination against auy of the men on. account of the strike of May 7th, 1901, but this shall not apply to those under arrest charged with the commission of unlawful or riotous acts until,, the. executive committee has given a hearing to such perspns and shall have decided that their is a leasonablo doubt of their guilt. * Seventh, the road is free to employ union or non-union men and to discharge them for cause. Eighth, the wages of the motor- men, conductors, linemen aud pitmen shall be 20 cents per hour, and of pitmen's helpers 17^ cents per hour. Ninth, the strikers agrde that in consideration of the several agreements herein contained, if kept by tho company, that the members of the said divisions will discharge their duty in au efficient, faithful and skilled mauner. v Tenth, to reduce as much as possible inconvenience to the traveling public, it is agreed tliat no proposition for a strike shall be acted upon by any division at the 'same meeting at which it is introduced, but that at least 48 hours shall elapse beforo such a proposition shall be voted upon. And if a strike shall be ordered it shall not take effect until at least six days, have elapsed, after notice to the, company, during which time the employeesshall continue their work. The non-union men brought here to fill the places of the strikers will unquestionably withdraw, although the formal agreement does not mention them. The company declined to agree to send them away, so a member of the directorate says, but ib is felt that service under the circumstances will bo so unpleasant for them thafc they will voluntarily withdraw.

London, May 19.���The despatches relative to the. possibility of the substitution of the Panama isthmian route are read with interest In Downing street. The Associated Press learns that agents of the Pau- ama company have not approached the British government, but if the United States should think it advisable to complete the Panama canal the decision would be hailed with no little satisfaction at the foreign ofliceas being an easy way. out'" of the present controversy. However, the British - officials are without auy accurate knowledge of the terms offered by the Panama people, and they incline to the belief that financial and other difficulties will probably prevent the Uuited States from adopting this solution of the affair. **lf it is advisable to abrogate the Clayton- Bulwer treaty on account of its being out of date,", said a high official, "how much more is it. necessary to annul the French shore agreement, which was made long before the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, and which has been a millstone around the neck of Newfoundland." Inquiries reveal the fact tliat negotiations to this end .are progressing, though slowly. For the first time iu -the late negotiation France is said-to be exhibiting a genuine desire to have the matter settled and though perhaps at the expense of concessions to other parties Great Britain will endeavor to meet her wishes. The result of the conferences between Mr. Bond, premier of Newfoundland, and sir Wilfrid Laurier, premier of Canada, regarding reciprocity with the Uuited States has not yet been" com: municated to the colonial office, though-colonial-secretary-Ghaniber- liiin sincerely hopes that the reports of Canada's assent to Mr. Bond's proposition are correct.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-05-20 |
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. |
