KELSOK, B. a, ��� WEDNESDAY MORNING; MAY 8, 1901 PRICE ITVE CENTS NELSON ASSIZES OPENED ONLY TWO CRIMINAL CASES ON THE DOCKET PRESENTED. The Hearing of Which Will Be Commenced Today���Murder and . Cattle Stealing. A court of assize, nisi priuf, oyer and terminer, and general jail delivery was opened in Nelson yesterday by Mr. justice Drake, when the following were sworn iu as a grand jury: T. Criddle, foreman; H. It. Bellamy, A. G. Gamble, F. ��� Irvine, G. Kydd, H. B. Macdonell, N. T. MeLeod, 0. G. Miller, R. Robertson, W. P. Tierney, W. J. Wil- " sou and John.Deane. His lordship, addressing tho jury, said that this was the' first grand jury called together in Nelson under their new king and ruler and since the death of her gracious majesty queen Victoria, whose beneficent reign had made her loved and respected in every quarter of her vast empire and throughout the civilized world; aud in no quarter of the empire was the late sovereign more respected than iu British Columbia. He hoped that loyalty would ever characterize the people of this - western portion of the empire, and that ifc would be as conspicuous under the. rule of Edward VII as it was while Victoria occupied the throne. His lordship referred to the war in South Africa, now happily drawing to a close, and to the havoc it' ' has wrought ' in many homes throughout , the united empire. Canada had suffered her full share , of this loss, and might well feel proud of the heroism displayed by her sons, whose' achievements any nation .might well feel proud of. "Although we may grieve for those ' who have laid down, their lives in" the cause of the empire," ~add*ed his' lorddhip,: "the incident" shows that, .-British subjects are British subjects the world over, and are ever ready to "respond to the call to duty and patriotism and serve under tbe flag which is ever ac cepted as the emblem of liberty aud peace." His lordship complimented the jury on the fact thafc there were but two criminal cases to go before - them.' One was for cattle stealing, the scene of the crime being the neighborhood of Craubrqok. A couple of cattle had been stolen from a rancher there' and portions of th6" carcasses found under circumstances which would lead to. thb suspicion that the man accused of the crime was the guilty-,person 'The evidence was largely circum- ���s tan tialrbu if snclrasri tfwas ifc'wonld - i>e presented to the jury, and if they believed that a prima facia ��ase had been- made out it was their duty to find a true bill and leave the case in the hands of a. petit jury, The second casa was more serious, being one of murder���the effect of %vhat appeared to be a drunken spree. They would have to satisfy themselves that a prima facia case was made out, and on this point it was necessary that at least -seven of their number should agree. His lordship briefly = reviewed the evidence as it would bo presented and left the, case in tho hands of the jury. The jury retired, and after a brief absence returned true bills in each case. While the graud jury were out his lordship heard arguments in the case of McMillan vs. Sandilands. The case has been before the court on previous occasions, and was last adjourned so as to allow of Thomas Leo Peel being made a party to the suit. The last heard of Peel was ��� that he was in Mexico, aud ib was contended by W. A. Macdonald, K-.C, tha,t every effort had been made to have him brought into court. Mr. Macdonald asked to have the case further postponed. The motion was opposed and decision was reserved. The court adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning, when the .criminal cases will be taken up.

Ten Missionaries Confined. ; Berlin, May 7.���In L the reichstag today baron von Hodenberg, the Guelph leader, interpellated the government on what steps had been taken to secure the release of the German missionaries now held prisoners by the British in South Africa. He averred that ten missionaries were confined in Pretoria and that there was not the slightest charge against them and that their property had been seized. Baron von Reichsoff, the foreign secretary, said he knew of only two cases where the German missionaries had been imprisoned by the British. One of these missionaries, it was alleged, had an understanding with the Boers and at the j instance of the German embassy he I was paroled. .The second, missionary thus imprisoned was-accused of agitating in the interests of the Boers, and. ho had been released through the efforts of the German consul. ! ��� Baron von Reichoff referred to the refugee camps as "a kind of- imprisonraent ' affecting whole classes of the population.*' He declared that the British authorities assigned military exigencies as reasons for their measures, but that their procedure had in many instances involved unnecessary hardships and^r worked injuries which might have been averted. A general debate on the interpellation followed. Dr. Bacheu, leader of the. centrists, said: "Christian Englishmen have been^ able to - reconcile it with their medium of, dignity not even to spare the missions. This wrong must be redressed."'

Thence he went to Newfoundland as a missionary and after serving for some time as vicar-general of the diocese, he was called to Rome, where he rose to the highest offices of his order. His brilliancy as a scholar, and especially his profound knowledge of church polity, led in later years to his appointment as papal delegate to the Dominion, of Canada. Mgr. Falconio is excellently fitted for the suggested mission and would be acceptable to the American hierarchy. Kootenay Deserves Consideration. Itossland World.

Mead of Albany, who read his annual report. He made the following reference to tho present condition of the order: "While we havo just caiue for congratulation aud rejoicing that our increase in numerical strength during the past year i? without parallel in our history, I find cause for greater rejoicing that a spiiic truly fraternal pervades and animates the entire fraternity. The vestal fires upon the altars of Freemasonry have been well guarded and maintained, and the craft in love and unity have been pursuing their labors unvexed and undisquieted by wars or tumors of wars, steadily going forward in the accomplishment of the objects of our fraternity." New York, May 7.���The routine reports of regular committees were read and adopted, and committees for the conduct of the work of the session appointed.

Mrs. George Cornwallis West asserts that ifc belongs to her, and Bernard Baker, owner of the vessel, declares that it is his property. The flag is now in lady Randolph Churchill's (Mrs. George Cornwallis West) possession. It seems that while the Maine was still in service as a hospital ship Mr. Baker gave orders thafc the flag should be surrendered to no ono without an order from himself. The officer in charge of tho ship a few days later sent it to lady Randolph upon her request. He was dismissed for disobedience, and Mr. Baker requested lady Randolph to return the flag to "him, which she, in spite of more importune requests and demands has failed to do. Lady Randolph claims that the flag i9 her own, but has intimated her willingness to send ifc to the United States government .to be placed as a relic in some national museum. Morgan's' Schemes. - Nkw York, May 7.���J. P. Morgan remains an ogre for the sensational British press, says the Tribune's London correspondent, and Mr. Carnegie's forecasts of the development of American industrial resources are printed in the largest Lype. The consolidation of the railway and shipping interests of the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, wifch the possibility that one capitalist can fix through rates and ocean transportation, is now- a stock theme with financial writers in England, who display remarkable credulity in accepting elastic statements of the ulterior purposes of American multi-millionaires. At tlio same time they deplore English inability to form counter com binatious. It is reported that Mr. Morgan is having two steamers built exclusively for first-class passengers between New York and England and on a scale of magnificence exceeding anything hitherto anticipated. The Cup Challenger. London, May 7,���The Shamrock Tf lay afc^ller^ioorings^t^da^to=al5= low her crew to tauten her rigging, stretched by the trial spins, and alter her running gear. The mainsail is not considered quite satifac- tory and orders to supply another have been given which will probably be used the next time she goes out. Captains . Sycamore and Wringe speak highly of the new boat, but Sycamore is a little cautious. He says' it would be a mistake to gauge a day's sailing like yesterday, when nothing was intended but an informal trial. Neither of them had been sent along at full speed. From captain Sycamore's remarks it is considered that ho considered the cup challenger, had ii good deal in hand. Nicaraguan Possibilities Nkw York, May 7.���It is understood that the engineers who have been making test borings aud surveys for a route for .the Nicaraguan canal, some of whom have just arrived here from Greytown, believe that a canal across Nicaragua costing less than $25,000,000 is possible. The work would include about fifty miles of embanking and the cutting of rock for eighteen miles from lake Nicaragua to the Pacific ocean. The total length of the route is 181 miles. The highest ridge which it would be necessary to cut through is slightly more than 300 feet high. Great care has been taken to avoid sand. English Miners in Trouble.
