'.The Tribune.]���the folowing cable message was received in Rossland this morning: ���-, LONDON,- August 23.���Whitaker Wright, managing director of the Le Roi Company, tendered his resignation yesterday. The extraordinary general I- meeting of shareholders will be held on Thursday next. Proxies antagonistic to the present management are being received by thousands'. It is altogether probable a clean sweep of the entire management will be made. The British Columiba and Northport officials are generally discredited." Edwin Durant, formerly oflice manager at'the Le Roi head7oflice here, arrived in New'York on the Cimeric on [-Tuesday last and started on his way west immediately. He is expected in Spokane tomorrow. Kenneth Chisholm a,nd John Freeman, two miners working in the shaft of the Green Mountain mine, have been injured,; Chisholm by a piece of steel entering his eye and Freeman by the ore bucket falling on hitn. Ton more of the non-union men at the Le Roi smelter at Northport left on the south-bound train today. Both furnaces at the Northport- smelter went cold at 10 o'clock this morning, and were. not free this afternoon. Peters and Hankers, two of the scab junk men at North- port who were out on $400 cash bail, have failed to deposit the amount and the officer ���went after them this afternoon. Unless the money is forthcoming both men will be jailed. Bernard MacDonald returned from Spokane this afternoon. Union Men Rejoice. NORTHPORT, August 23.���[Special to The Tribune.]��� President Ben R. Shed of the Northport Mill and Smeltermen's Union, recived a-, message from tho Rossland Miners' union, this afternoon informing him that a cablegram"had just arrived from London- wliich stated that Whitaker Wright had just resigned from Lis position of managing director of the 7'Rossland Great Western'mines and allied companies. This'ail'ects Northport very greatly, as the smelter here is controlled by the corporation:of which Mr. Wright has been the director. It also indicates that governor Mcintosh has won his great fight against. Bernard MacDonald; the local manager'of the company's British Columbia property. The union members are rejoicing, as they are.' confident that governor Mcintosh. .. will recognize their organization. Secretary' Conway, of the union said tonight: "The treaty of peace will soon be signed." . Manager Kadish of the smelter was told of the cablegram this evening. He laughed and said: "I wonder what their.story will be tomorrow." He would hot say anything further on =="ther=subject7^ ��� ' The Reason for It. l' CRANBROOK, August 23.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The chief topic of conversation the past two days is the sensational rise in Sullivan stock. It has jumped from 7 1-2 to 13 bid and more offered. Naturally there is a disposition to guess what is back of this move, and yesterday the secret leaked out when John Hutchinson, one of the leading mining brokers of the district, said that he had had standing orders for Sullivan stock for three months past, and imparted the information that the directors of the Sullivan mine had decided to 1'iiild a smelter. This will, mean a big -thing to Southeast Kootenay, since it will furnish the means of a-eiium? tli .ore virtually on the ground. The location Js not given out, but there is little ���doubt that it will go to Marysville, a town with a name only at the present lime, on the junction of Mark creek and the St. Marys river. Temporary Shut Down GREENWOOD, August 23.���[Special to Tlie Tribune.]���After a most successful run of six months it has been found necessary to shut down for a few days the furnace . at the British' Columbia Copper Company's smelter at Greenwood, to allow of the brickwork forming the upper part of the furnace being renewed. The furnace was olown out yesterday afternoon and today bricklayers commenced to make the requisite renewals. ' It is claimed for this single- furnace, which has a nominal capacity of 225 tons, that it has the best average record known in the history of copper smelting. During five months it has -treated -i daily average of 371 tons of ,ore. Latterly the average has open .higher, that for the month of July having been 385 tons per day. The closing down of the smelter has involved a isimilar temporary suspension of all ore producing work at the Mothsr Lode ;mine, Deadwood. camp, practically all the ore bins at the mine and smelter being full. A few men continue at timbering and other'work requiring attention at the mine, but most of the mine .employees have been laid off until Wednesday or Thursday of next week The most definite assurances are given bj" the general manager of the company wliich owns both the mine and smelter that operations will be resumed on as early a day next week as it shall be possible to complete the repairs to the furnace by. Tho smelter will still continue to receive all the ore the B. C. mino will send in so the mine will not bo inconvenienced by the temporary stoppage at tho smelter. Ymir Gossip. , YMIR, August 23���[Special to The Trubune.]���Rev. H. Young and bride arrived homo on the 4:30 train yesterday afternoon and were met at the depot by a crowd of wellwishers. In the evening at the Presbyterian church a reception was given the couple. The roll of fare was talking, with a little music and ice cream and cake on the side. The music was furnished by Messrs. McRoberts, Daly and Coffey, while the ladies handled the refreshments in a very cool manner. On behalf of the Masons of the camp, Lawyer Burne presented the pastor with a good sized purse, and P. Daly on behalf of the boys handed him over another roll. The Ladies' Aid society presented the pastor and wife with two handsome oak chairs. The meeting came to an end by all present wishing the newly wedded couple health, wealth and prosperity and that their trail through the wilderness of coming years may be ��� paved "with good paying rock, and their troubles may be ''|ittle ones." Mr. and Mrs. Young will reside in Mr. Desbusay's bouse until the manse is completed. Ymir Miners' Union can now boast of a membership of nearly 350. The jurisdiction extends from the limits of Nelson to the boundary line. There are only some half dozen unfair miners in the camp, and they are branded forever with,a big S. Travelling passenger agent Carter of the C. P. R. was in the camp yesterday, and was shown the sights by John Buck- worth. A 10-stamp mill is installed at the Fern mine and is working satisfactorily. A number of .miners will be put to work next week. The Fenio is under lease to Mr. Nichols, a Montana- mining man. Fishermen have had great luck the past few days, most of the big strings being caught in the neighboring camp of Erie. Messrs. Lovell and De Harris returned Wednesday with1 900, Judge Buckworth had a basket of 120 and Charley Archibald had so many-, he wouldn't count them. Al Parr, secretary of the Miners''Union, sent out; some men yesterday morning to do development work on , the Pathfinder, owned by..him and associates. The Pathfinder is. n free..' milling proposition and is situated on the north fork of Clear creek, adjoining the Summit and Dumas. - Recent assays range from $20 to $36. - : . D. McLachlan, the hardware man of Nelson, Charles H. Wolf, ore buyer for the Granby smelter, Grand Forks, and A. R. McKinley, a' safe man from Toronto, were, doing the camp yesterday. There are about 45 pupils attending the public school, and Miss Urquhart, the teacher, has troubles of- her own these days. ., .' J. Morley Hoag, H. M. Porteous, Nelson; and William Berry, traveler,"' of Hamilton, registered at the Cosmopolitan yesterday. At a meeting of the Ymir Liberal Association held on the 19th instant, Dr. A. C. Sinclair of Rossland was unanimously endorsed for the vacancy in the Dominion senate to represent the Kootenay as the census returns gives British Columbia another senator. Outside of Victoria we did not know there was a=man=in=iBi*itislwColumbia=at=present=i eligible for the senate, for when he gets old and only in the way he is usually sent to the old man's home at Kamloops. If Kootenay is entitled to a senator, by all menas let the doctor get the appointment, for he has been a great service in years gone by to the Grit party. The lumber has arrived for A. B. Buckworth's cottage he is erecting on Second avenue and carpenters were put to work today. When completed it will be by far the handsomest dwelling in camp���and Ymir lias some good ones. It is said that bedbugs are so plentiful up at the Ymir mine that the boys before retiring for the night have to picket their clothes to keep the bugs from carrying them off. Strange, is'nt It; but true. The bakeries of Nelson make regular shipments of bread to this camp. We don't see any reason for this for there's a flrst class bakery in town that turns out punk like our mothers used to make, and is far superior to the Nelson article. Pilgrims, patronize home industry. To Welcome Prince Chuan. NEW YORK, August 23,���Chinese merchants in this city and Chinese consul Chou Tsz Chi have already commenced elaborate preparations for the reception of prince Kwan Su, who is expected to arrive in this city in about a month. He will first visit Berlin, where he will convey to emperor William an official expression of China's grief at the murder of baron Von Ketteler. the German minister at the hands of the Boxers in the streets of Pekin last summer. He will then go to Paris and London. All Chinatown is talking about the coming visit and will celebrate as they have never celebrated anything before. Consul Chou is to have 5000 Chinese at the pier to receive the prince. Wu Tang Fu, the Chinese minister at Washington and his entire staff will come tp the eity to welcome him. City and state officials will be asked to take part in the celebration. Prince Chuan will be escorted to the Waldorf- Astoria. A reception and dinner will be given in his honor.

REVISED LIST OF DROWNED UNFORTUNATE PASSENGERS AND CREW OF THE ISLANDER. Nineteen Bodies Have Been Recovered. Purser Places the Number That Were Lost at Forty. adjournment of the first session none of the participants would give out any information of the proceedings further than to say that the leaders had been called together for the purpose of having the situation thoroughly explained to them; to have some action taken looking to the aid of the.strikers morally and financially by all. of the organizations represented. The conference ended tonight at 9 o'clock and the conferees left for tlieir homes. VANCOUVER, August 23.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The steamer Hating arrived , at .10 o'clock this morning from Skagway. Five hundred people met the boat here, and many anxious inquiries were made. The only Islander passenger who came down was Lister Gill, of the Hudson's Bay stores here, who went down with the ship., He was struck by a plank and his head is still bandaged as a result of the accident. He was in the water three hours when rescued. Five bodies were brought down by the Hating, the remainder being buried at Juneau. The bodies were those of Mrs. J. H. Ross and child, Mrs. Ross of Seattle, Dr. John Duncan. and captain Foote. 7 Governor Ross started out from Dawson immediately on receipt of the news,and came down by the Hating to accompany the remains east. H. ,H. Morris, of the Bank of Commerce," came down, but contrary, to a former report was not a passenger by the Islander. Purser Bishop places the death list at 40, made up as follows: PASSENGERS. E. Mills, Mrs. Dr. Phillips and child, J. W. Bell, Dr. John Duncan, Miss Kate Barnes, Mrs. Minnie Ross, A. W. Jery, J. Dahl, M. J.

Pitts, Ah Yet, Chimanan; Miles Jacobs, Hugh Porter, P. Buskholder, captain Foote. These make 19 out, of the 40. Twenty- one still missing. An.inquest was held at Juneau on the body of Dr. Duncan and the following verdict rendered: "We, the jury impaneled and sworn in the matter of the inquest upon the body of Dr. J. A. Duncan,.deceased, find that he came to his death on August 15, 1901, by the wreck of the steamer Islander and by the evidence produced we find that we can blame no one for the accident." Purser Bishop will probably come down by the steamer Danube. Search for bodies is still going'on. The marshal-at Juneau has endeavored to capture Indians charged with looting the bodies of the wreck victims.. HE DIED LIKE A COWARD CASCADE POWER COMPANY WILL TRANSMIT CURRENT FOR POWER AND LIGHT NORDSTROM HANGED YESTERDAY AT SEATTLE. SUMMARY OF SITUATION In the Great Steel Strike. PITTSBURG, August 23.���A summary of the steel strike situation tonight shows about the following conditions: This city���Star mill, two mills running. Strikers say five more men left the plant and joined their ranks, but the management positively deny this statement. Painter mill, four mills running. Fire lighted in Bar mill furnaces, but failed to start. Pennsylvania Tube Works, mill idle. Machinists say they will quit tonight. . All Carnegie mills funning full. McKeesport���Dommler plant idle and no attempts will be made to start it before next week. Everything else closed down. Irondale���Mill running with same force as every day, making two turns and assurance from the manager that more men will be added to them. Wellsville ��� Situation is unchanged. Twelve mills running. Lisbon���Fires started in tin plate plant. Manager George Evans says that everything is ready for starting soon with plenty of men, Strikers voted today to remain out and mills strongly picketed. Wheeling���Everything tied up and no apparent effort to start any of the mills. Bellalr���The National Tube Company idle. The plant will, it is said, be started next week by a full loree of men. No advices have been received by the Amalgamated officials from either Belleville or Joliet and the situation at these points is considered by them to be unchanged. A conference of the leaders at the offices of the Amalgamated Association today was the leading feature of the strike during the day. Officials of the organization seemed pleased with the way things are moving and one said somewhat mysteriously,: "In another six days you will see a deoided change in the strike that will tell with greater effect on the trust and aid in hurrying the outcome.' Just what this change is to be was not said, but it was inferred strongly that the coming events hinged upon the conference that was taking place. Two sessions were held by the conferees behind closed doors. After the Broke Completely Down and Had to. Ee Tied to a Board to Keep Him Upright. SEATTLE, August 23.���Charles ' W. Nordstrom was hanged here today for the murder November 27th, 1891, of William Mason. Shortly arter<, 9:30 o'clock Nordstrom was taken to a room adjoining the death chamber. He wept contiunally. It-required the utmost efforts of four men to keep him on his feet. When he was taken into the death chamber he broke down entirely, crying in a childish voice and praying that his life be spared.,Then he collapsed entirely and fell to the'floor. Efforts to raise him and keep him on his feet were; frustrated. Finally sheriff .Cudihee ordered that a board be brought and to this Nordstrom was tied. It-required six men to 7 hold him ��� for the operation. Several times I"Jordstrom seemed to speak, but. his-'"words were unintelligible. The six men who held him' raised his body on end and with great effort .succeeded in getting himv on the scaffold. There he Was placed upright while four men stood-on the-four sides of the trap and held him Nordstrom worked during the fall of 1891 for Thomas Mason, a rancher near Cedar Mountain in this country. He had a dispute about the amount of wages due him. The sum involved was <?3.S5. On the night of the murder William Mason was sitting down- to supper with 'his father/Someone fired a, shot from outside the window. Young Mason .pitched forward and died within a short time. Investigation showed the' print's of the murdeder's feet as he stood beside the fence corner and rested his rifle on the top rail. The murderer was tracked over a "long stretch of< country. Several. days 'later: Nordstrom, with a Winchester rifle of the same caliber with which the victim,was murdered, was arrested on the railroad track near Cedar Mountain and on trial he was convicted.

The motion of the Dominion government to wipe out about $190,000 of trust funds which were to b** credited against portions of a debt of the Dominion of Canada, due by the respective provinces, was refused QUEBEC, August 23.'��� It is not expected that the duke and duchess of Cornwall can reach Quebec September 16th, the date scheduled. In order to reach Quebec in time the Ophir would have to travel at the rate of 30 knots an hour, and even if the Ophir were callable of attaining this high speed she could not be pushed for such a distance. It is therefore believed that tire royal party will not reach Quebec before September 22nd. To Phoenix and Other Towns, as Well au to the Mines, in the Boundary Country. Southeastern British Columbia has great mines, and no section in the world is making more rapid strides in developing water power' for the transmission of electricity. The. plant of the "West Kootenay Power & Light Company on Kootenay river, 12 miles below Nelson, is one pf the noted plants of America. Electrical current for both power and light is transmitted to Rossland, a dis-r tance of nearly ,40 miles. .Another plant is under way at Cascade, on the main Kettle river, and when completed electrical current for power and light will be transmitted over 20 miles' to Phoenix, which has. the same relative position in the Boundary that Rossland. lias in the Trail Creek country. Both are towns amid working mines. The plant at Cascade is owned by the Cascade Water, Power & Light Company, Limited, of which J. Roderick Robertson of Nelson is general manager. The following description of the-work already done and ���to-ibo done is authentic: The plant is situated on the main Kettle river at Cascade City. The river at this point runs through a rocky gorge in a series of rapids and falls for a distance of about half a mile and has, a natural fall in that distance-of 121 feet. For the development of the power a dam lias been constructed at the head of the gorge, wliich raises the water to'a height of 36 feet above the' natural level, thus giving;a.,- head of 156 feet at low water. The dam is constructed of timber '.- crib work filled with rock and is 40 feet thick at the base and. slopes back to a width of 24 feet on the top. The total length of the dam is 400 feet and the totalheight from the base to the .-top".'is'50������feet in the deepest part of the channel tapering off to a height nf "' feet at the sides. About 10,000 cubic yards of rock were required to fill -the crib work. -The''7site-Jis' on ��� .a -solid ��� rock -bod throughout and the foundation timbers are solidly-bolted, tb the rock. The permanent water level will be 10 feet below the top of-the dani, and provision has been made to control the water level during periods of high water by a series of sluiceways, 12 in number, which .can be opened to a depth of 12 feet below normal level. This will give an area of about 2000 square feet of. waterway through which to pass the flood water. The sluiceways are closed by means of stop logs, 12 inches square, dropped one on top of the other in a groove provided for their reception. A steel rail track will be placed on the top of the dam on which a traveling winch can be run over the sluiceways for the purpose of drawing up the stop logs as the water rises during floods. This winch will be operated by hand or electrical motor. The site of the present dam was;chosen with the view that at some future time a concrete masonry dam could. Jje^eonstructed _b.e.lp_w_th.e_.p.r_es.e.nt the outside work, buildings, etc. is being completed for the early installation of the machinery at the power house at Cascade. The Columbia & Western Railroad Company are putting in a side track for the unloading of the machinery - and other material at Cascade, wihch will probably amount to over 50 car loads before the end of this year. A Bandit Nailed. HAVANA, August 23.���Lino Lima, the notorious bandit for whose capture dead or alive the military government offered a reward of ?1,000, has been' killed at. Masurijes in the province of Mantan- zas. The police assisted the rural guard and four other bandits were captured at the same time. The body of Lima will be photographed, for the purpose of identification. Lima's operations irf the province of. Mantazas and Havana greatly exasperated the military authorities for some years. For several months there was a standing reward of $500 for his head^ During the., latter part of July he sent word to the authorities that he would surrender for ?500 provided he would be allowed to leave the -island. On receipt of this the reward was doubled. Finally the bandit's mother asked acting governor Scott to promise to pardon him if he surrendered.' The reply was that if .he gave himself up he would be tried as a bandit and if he remained at large he would be hunted down and killed if necessary. THE STRIKING TRACKMEN ALMOST NORMAL CONDITIONS ON KOOTENAY BRANCHES. Bridgemen, However. Delay in - Rebuilding Trestle on Nakusp and Slocan Branch. 3* ' li structure, which can be" built without any stoppage of the plant whatever. During the high, water in June a. large boom of logs which were held by a sawmill company a few hundred yards abovo the dam gave way and about one million feet of logs were thrown against the dam in a solid mass and at a time when the water was at extreme flood without inflicting the sjightest damage to the structure. This unexpected test of the dam fully demonstrated its stability. The water is conveyed from the dam to tho power house, first by an open cut 225 feet long (from this point a tunnel 12x14 feet is driven for a distance of 410 feet through solid rock), thence by another open channel for a distance of 500 feet (at this point a concrete bulkhead will be placed and the water conveyed in a circular flume of 12 feet diameter to the power house). Thirty-five thousand yards of rock have' been excavated for the open cuts alone. The areas of the open cuts and tunnel are so large that no appreciable loss of head will occur and the water will enter the flume with a head equal to the level of the water in the' dam. The power house will be placed on a natural bay at the foot of the falls, where an extensive site has been excavated out of the solid rock. About 7000 yards of rock have been removed for this purpose. The turbines are of the horizontal type, two wheels in each case, and the generators are of the three- phase alternating type and step-up transformers are used to raise the current for transmission. The electrical machinery is of the latest and most up- to-date ��� construction of the Westing- house company and the power house a substantial fire-proof structure of brick and stone, being, according to tiie engineer's plans, 200 feet long by '15 feet wide. A right of way has been cleared from Cascade to Phoenix in Green- camp, a distance of 21 miles. The clearing is 132 feet wide. All brush and timber has boen removed. Two separate duplicate lines arc boing constructed of tho most up to date description, and every posibio means will bo used to ensure a continuous current boing maintained. The heaviest wire will bo used to ensure this. Tho main distributing station will ob a fire-proof structure of brick and stone. Poles are now boing distributed along the right of way between. Phoenix and Cascade, and all of Shamrock Didn't Experiment. NEW YORK, August 23���Owing to a ���misunderstanding of orders, the cup challenger, Shamrock II, did not have a trial spin outside Sandy Hook today. The original program was' to have the yacht towed to Sandy .Hook from, her anchorage off Stapleton," S. I., starting at 11 o'clock and then to have her go out on a trial spin over the America's cup course, but the forenoon was spent in putting battens in the new mainsail and making some alterations and repairs to the yacht's rigging. It was noon before this was finished, so that the Shamrock was not ready to" start until after the men had their dinner. At 1 o'clock the crew began hoisting the mainsail, captain vSycamore understanding that the yacht was to sail'out-to' Sandy Hook But sir Thomas Lipton and Mr. Watson : after a conference decided that it "would be better to tow the yacht with' the Erin on account of the strong breeze prevailing, which if the yacht sailed would make it a long, tedious beat down the main ship channelto Sandy Hook. Accordingly at2 p. m. the-tow began. At 3 p.-m. it was decided not to sail over any stated course and the boat returned , to her moorings. She showed.wonderful ability to work to windward under that Jsbort sail... The.Asociated - Press-, tug Unique towed her half "a mile until she was made fast to her buoy at 4 p. "m. Sir Thomas will see the Columbia-Constitution race off Oyster bay tomorrow. The Shamrook will not sail again until Monday, but she will get out every day after that except Sundays, leaving her moorings at 10 o'clock to take trial spins over tlie America's cup course. ���' Criminal Statistics. OTTAWA. August 23.-���The report of the criminal statistician for year ending; June 30th, 1900, shows that there were 249 more indictible offenses in Canada that year than in 1899, there being S-119 in 1900 and 8170 in 1899. Of this number 2S2S were, committed in the Ter-; ritories and the Yukon in 1899, against 322S cin 1900. In British Columbia there were 2362 in 1899 and 1994 in 1900. FRANCE IS IN A QUANDARY Over the .Turkish Affair. CONSTANTINOPLE, August 23.���The French ambassador, M. Constans, has today sent a letter to the sultan personally informing him that he would leave Constantinople with the entire stall of the embassy if the matters in dispute were not settled immediately. The letter has the nature of an ultimatum. It accords.the sultan the briefest time in wliich to comply with the demands. PARIS, August 23.���While the oilicials of the foreign oflice decline to confirm or deny the dispatch of the Associated Press from Constantinople announcing that the French ambassador has sent the sultan a letter which has the nature of an ultimatum they admit having received a telegram from M. Constans which has been laid before the council now sitting at the Elysee palace. Only three ministers were present. The premier, M. Waldeck Rosseau. the minister of agriculture, M, Dupuy, and the minister of public works, M. Baudin, are absent from Paris. Tlie correspondent learns that M. Constans has been given a free hand. Any step he finds proper to take will bo fully indorsed. The foreign minister, M. Delcasse, if he deems it necessary, will withdraw the French embassy from Constantinople, and Munir Bey, the Turkish ambassador, who is now in Switzerland, will be notified not to return to Par,is, in whicli case Munir Bey probably will withdraw the legation to Berlin, as he is also accredited as minister to Switzerland. In regard to the Turkish situation it is stated that no naval demonstration is yet contemplated, but the sultan will probably be seriously inconvenienced by the closure of the Turkish embassy here, which is the center of the espionage maintained to watch the numerous young Turks and other disaffected Ottoman subjects and voluntary exiles who make their headquarters in Paris and who will have a'Trec hand if diplomatic relations between Franco and Turkey are completely broken off. It has been suggested that the French government issue riders for the bourse to cease dealing in Turkish securities. But it is not likely that this step will be taken, as it would only injure the French bondholders. The entire Turkish group fell on the bourse today, in some cases going down 10 to 12 francs. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company is meeting with better sucecss on ��� the Kootenay branches in its fight with the, striking trackmen than it is. on the main line of the Pacific division. More, men have gone back to work on' the. Kootenay branches than on any section on the main line of the Pacific division and the main line trackmen inconsequence are not inclined to acceptv'the statement of the,railway officials with respect to the number of men who ' have returned to work on' the Kootenay branches. From Medicine Hat.through to the Landing and in fact upon all the ��� branches east of Kootenay lake the railway officials assert that the strike of the trackmen is nowipractically.lifted and the road is now well covered'with men putting the track in shape. .The ' greatest difficulty has been met with in respect to the bridgemen! Some of ..them, have gone back to work but a" number of them still remain out and there ap-_, pears' to be no immediate prospect'!of~ their faling into line. The action of " thev bridgemen has* naturally had the ��� effect of delaying the replacing' of the long trestle which was burned out on the Nakusp & Slocan branch. This trestle is about 560 feet long with an average height of about forty feet, so that it is no small job for the company -i to tackle with the differences existing , with the bridgemen. Work upon\ it, -^ however, is reported to be well under.*'. way,-there being a foreman and ten men". Z at work upon it. Eighteen cars of tim-1 ���-. ber have been delivered on the ground. V~ The foundations have been set foi*. about'- twenty bents and the frames are up, ,, for a number. It is expected that the trestle will be complete'd in about a~, week or ten clays. > i , The breach between the representatives of the other railway brotherhoods and president Wilson of the Trackmen's union appears to be wideniiigand-there <- i snow very litle chance of concerted; ac- . tion so long as president Wilson is per- ' niitted to direct'the-affairs of-the strike^- The members of, the conciliation",' committee, composed of members of the various other railway organizations have seen fit to publish the terms of settlement which they arrived at ������.with the company and which were rejected as unfair to the .tracumeu by president Wilson. This they claim was necessitated by reason of the misrepresentations of the terms of settlement by president Wilson. From this statement it appears that the break with president Wilson occurred over the measure of recognition which the railway company was prepared to concede to the track-' mens' organization, rather than over the question of wages. From tho statemejSit issued by the conciliation committee it appears that the railway committee was prepared to recognize the trackmen's union provided it was restricted to the foremen and first and second men on the gangs of one year's service with the , company, and provided that the schedule. and^conditions^o.fJhe-J*irganizatloH were not made to apply to the other men employed on the sections or on extra gangs. The basis of settlement also provided that the company should reinstate all the men in their old positions provided such positions had not been filled under promise of permanency during the absence of the strikers, but in such cases the company agreed to give the remaining men the preference in filling other similar positions as near to their old location as possible. This clause was to apply to all save those who had been guilty of acts of violence. In connection with the above the conciliation comniittco secured from vice president McNicoll an assurance that should the question of the responsibility or workability of the trackmen's organization be questioned by the company, and the company be unable to agree on that head with the trackmen, that the parties to the dispute should leave the question at issue to the decision of the five leading brotherhoods of the road, and any other questions growing out of the terms of the settlement were to be similarly referred. These terms were recommended to the trackmen by the conciliation committee and although they were favorably received by a number of the trackmen's committee president Wilson exerted sufficient influence to bring about their rejection. Lehigh Valley Train Wrecked. ITHACA, N. Y., August 23.���The Le-. high Valley passenger train which left Auburn for Ithaca at 4:50 p. m. on the Cayuga Lake division was wrecked north of Kingsferry, 20 mies north of Ithaca, at 8 o'clock tonight. The engine ran into the lake. Fireman Fitzgerald of this city is missing and engineer La- franco, also of this city, was injured. The track where the accident occurred runs near the edge of Cayuga lake. A. heavy rainstorm loosened a large boulder which rolled down on the track just beyond a sharp curve. Neither engtneer nor fireman had time to jump, but stuck to their posts as the engine plunged into* the lake. It is thought fireman Fitzgerald is pinned beneath the locomotive'. Engineer Lafrance had his arm badly- crushed, but managed to get clear of t.ho wreckage and swam ashore. Passengers were badly shaken up,, but none seriously injured,. IM mmu �� 2?

Butto, Montana, and Virginia City, Nevada, two of the greatest mining camps that th'e* world has had, have never had a strike. But at both places the miner's union is given full recognition. If like recognition was given the miner's union at Rossland, is it likely the result would be any different from what it has been at Butte and Virginia? There seems to be differences of opinion as to the eillcacy of compulsory arbitration. Reports from New Zealand are conflicting. But, then, no radical change was ever made that did not meet with the disapproval of a portion of.tho people. There are people in Nelson who would, if they could, have British Columbia again made a Crown Colony. Thesa people believe that the crown colony system of, government is better than representative government; but somehow the majority of the people do not think so. The majority of the people In New Zealand believe that, compulsory arbitration will prevent strikes. The present laws may not be perfect, and their defects are being magnified by the reactionists. Few laws are perfect when first enacted. It is only by trial that the deletes are found, and this is probably true of; the compulsory arbitration laws of New Zealand. f��^'fy^teag^^a-ti^^��ft;a3'�� ..-x_;;?zi&r__''?SA -^ f NELSON LODGE, NO. 23., A.

In every other mining camp in Kootenay, there is the minimum of friction, and there is no good reason why like conditions should not prevail at Rossland. The ore at Rossland is of higher grade than that mined in the Boundary; the mines havo competitive railways over which to market their output; supplies are as cheap as in any sections of the country; and there must be advantages in working mines where employees can have tlieir own homes in the neighborhood of good schools. Sure- i With every province in the Dominion except British Columbia represented in the Laurier government, is it any great wonder that the interests of British Columbia are overlooked? The minister of the interior, who is a member of parliament from Manitoba, is supposed to look after the interests of the West, but the Rocky Mountains Is a wall that he is not big enough to see over. British Columbia will continue to be oyer-taxeel and overlooked just as long as she is without a seat at Mr. Laurier's council table. Anyone would be better than no one. Even the member for Vancouver would be tolerated. The Ymir Liberal Association is a versatile organization.,, One day it is used to boost the Liberal party, and tho next day is donig its level best to further the alms of the Laborites. Its latest is a boost for Doctor Sinclair of Rossland who Js a Candidate for the appointment of senator from a province In which he has been hardly long enough to warm a chair. R. C. Clute of Toronto, chairman of the royal commission appointed to investigate the Chinese and Japanese immigration question, is coming in for a good deal of abuse from newspapers, like the Rossland Miner, because he has had the hardihood to say that Samuel Robins of Nanaimo is a worthy citizen of Britis'h Columbia; If the Rossland Miner's Union wins out in the, fight against Bernard McDonald and War Eagle Kirby, ex-governor Charles H. Mackintosh will once more be Duke of Rossland. Ho has ;di- rected the fight from the Rossland end of the line/while others managed it in London. The Lardeau Eagle is still'harping on "trips" and "jollies" and "long green" in connection with the attitude of The Tribune in regard to the trackmen's strike on the C. P. R. The editor'of the Eagle in reiterating these words week after week simply proves himself_a_ma^ "licious slanderer and dirty cur. / To Meet Old Friends. NEW YORK, August 23.���H. S. Brooks one of the graduate managers of the Yale .Harvard team, and who has just returned from England, where he made arrangements for the track and field sports return matches between Oxford and Cambridge and Yale and Harvard, says the Englishmen aro very confident of victory. "Everything was most harmonious," said Mr. Brooks, "and the Oxford and Cambridge folk look upon the next as the second of a series of regular contests. Several of the men who competed in the former matches promise to be important factors in the one to come, and are looking forward to the. visit with much pleasure, as they anticipate meeting, as they expressed it, 'their old friends.'"

CURRENT RATE OV INTEREST ALLOWED. A Day Is Sufficient. Quito recently some members of parliament have been doing duty on one of the men-of-war of the Mediterranean squadron to learn, by actual experience, whether the jackies are rightly and sufficiently nourished. They suffered the trial of eating just what the men eat' and performing duty with the men in order to be able to report to the nation, whether the sailors who grumbled knew their own feelings about the matter. The report unofficially stated that the time from noon of one clay to early the ��� next morning was too long a time for the men to go without any food "except a hearty tea" at four or five in the evening. The members of parliament, who were in the habit of taking a gluttonous meal at seven or eight or nine o'clock in the.evening'and :wlio lia'd habituated their stomachs to expect a stuffing.between those hours found themselves "faint" from want "of the accustomed stuffing when they attempted to subsist on the sailor's rations. .-->������' During the past year some experiments have been carried out in Venice which prove that the present ration of the British sailor, is about three times as much as his body can profitably digest, and that most,of the ills he suffers come from the Strain upon his body caused by its efforts to get rid of the superflous two-thirds of "grub." The results of these experiments show that Ijiiigi Cornaro was right in his assertion that twelve dunces of solid food per day like that commonly consumed Vis as much as ��� the average man can eat and remain perfectly healthy, i This7 quantity is about one-third of the usual ration given to soldiers and sailors. During the time that the investigating memebrs of parliament were making preparations to undergo a trial of sailor's rations, a report of the Venice experir ments was made tothe British war office by an English physician and also a request to continue the experiments with a body of soldiers, if a number of them could be induced to submit themselves to experiment. The physician-reported that the experiments were conclusive as far as Venetian subjects were.con- cerned, and that they showed a way by which one-third the food comonly^given as rations could be made to completely nourish the body, completely satisfy the appetite, and, at the same time, give to the eater an amount of good taste for his gratification that he had not previously enjoyed. The physican also offered to demonstrate that the excess quantity of food usually taken by the average person provoked more or less strain upon the whole human organism under the most favorable conditions., frequently caused a predisposition of disease, and nearly always resulted in putrid decomposition of the various excreta. A commission of army physicians reports that the probable cause of enteric fever among the South African troops was'putrid excreta. After two or more months of consider- _ation,_tHe-war^office.rei*lied-to^th.e^Vene^ tian physician that his report was in spirit of cheerfulness, religion and good sense, as are the natural concomitants of temperance and sobriety.' He died at the age of 98 (100?). His case is an evidence that those who have suffered the- results of sensual excesses may, not only with safety, but witli advantage, adopt the opposite extreme of ascetic abstinence; but it does not show that persons with unimpaired constitutions, living regular lives, would be the better for it. A proof of this is the rarity with wliich his system has been persisted in, compared with the frequency with which his books have been read.' ^ "The first three of these treatises were published during his life, .(Padua, 1558), and all four have since been frequently reprinted in the original and other languages. An English translation of the *Sure Method' has gone through more than thirty editions." 7 Cornaro assures his readers that he never knew what it was to enjoy life and food until he adopted his regimen of temperance. He had spent a fortune ' in high living, so that he certainly knew the difference. But by recent experi-��� ments it has been discovered how Luigi got much enjoyment out of his small rations. The recent experiments referred tp have consisted of nutrition tests, made upon subjects of dill'e'rent charr acteristics and various habits of life, and the results obtained have been-compared with the ordinary experiences of peoples of different countries arid ^various occupations. Individuals differ ��� so greatly and Nature is so deliberate in her methods, thatthe* experiments can not be hurried to a conclusion. -.... Cornaro reached a minimum of 12 ���ounces of solid food a day���only about a fourth of which he had been consuming. Later in life he took even less. He does riot tell us S0j but it is natural to infer that he did riot bolt, his food. He chewed and sipped it as long as possible, to get .-all;the taste out of it. In doing- so, he conformed' to Nature's requirements, and thoroughly insalivated his food. Try it yourself. Select 12-ounces of the sort of food that pleases yotu most, but in simple variety. Divide it into four rations a day, and of three ounces .each, as Cornaro.did; and fix the feeding time to suit your fancy. You will probably sit- down to eat your" three ounces of favorite, fare with an appetite born of waiting and expectation. You will! linger over each morsel so as to prolong the pleasure of it. At first you may' not be satisfied with your three ounces, for your organism is habituated to stuffing, but in ten minutes after the three-ounce meal you will notice that appetite is more perfectly satisfied than usual. .':��� That is what happened " to Cornaro, Without doubt, but he failed to dwell upon this feature of his experience, and lence it is that so few have persisted in practicing his advice.- It was the key to his secret which he forgot to leave behind. Nelson Branch���Burns Block, 221 Baker Street. J. M. LAY, Manager. ted/has been cleaned at such enormous expense. It was by suspended cable from the hills at each end of the lake oyer which a traction engine drug huge scoops. The fish were taken out during tne cleaning-process and then replaced, and now the lake is bounteously stocked with carp, eels, pike, perch, trout, roach and dace. Since it has been cleaned James Clifford, an old Oxford fisherman, made the banner catch by landing a 37- pound pike. The next stop is made on the edge of, the forest that has made Blenheim such a rich estate. Not one tree can be cut down by any of the Marlboroughs, such is the law, and so it is that nature has had her way in this wilderness of her own creation for hundreds of years; and by the same token it" has followed that successive dukes, though reputed wondrously rich, have had their resources badly crippled because they could not carry out their personal desires and convert this verdant growth into valuable lumber. The coach passes through this forest and then returns to the Kings Arms inn in Woodstock before returning to Oxford. The simple townsfolk of Woodstock adore, the graceful young duchess, who takes a womanly interest in their quiet lives and they look in wonder upon: the merriment now rife in stately Blenheim. About this time of the year the duke entertains the Oxford Cricket club, interesting to us because so many representative Americans are there. 'There is still anothr point of interest which tourists to Blenheim should not neglect. One mile and a half distant from Woodstock is Wotton, a typical.English village, the most secluded and quaint in its simplicity of any little hamlet in England. Here is one of the largest old country rectories in all England, ��� with shaded avenues, where the nightingales sing and < other rare birds build their nests.,' The old church, old mill, old trout stream and old inli are ���well worth visiting. The inn stands at the junction of four cross-roads, utterly secluded, no house near, and still this quiet place is not without its tragedy. Fifty yards from the house is a green cross, cut out'in the turf, kept watered and trimmed, marking the spot where a villager committed suicide because he could not meet a small debt;���San Francisco Examiner. ���- ������ ����� to to Established In Nelson 1890.

These men were noted for their prodigious strength and endurance. They cul- tr'vaeu the one-meal-a-day habit. Hi:- tory shows that abstemiousness has always been the habit of peoples that have accomplished much, and that with increasing gluttony and luxury nations degenerate, as England is degenerating now, as rapidly as gluttony can accomplish the decline. It is to bo presumed that the reader has heard of Luigi Cornaro. He flourished between 1467 and 15GC. and hence rounded out a century of life. He was contemporary with Titian, who was also a Venetian, and there is reason to believe that the great painter owed his 100 years' somewhat to the influence of Cornaro, for they were friends as well as fellow-citizens. ��� Here follows the "Encyclopaedia Britannica" account of his life: "Cornaro.'Luigi (1467-1566), a Venetian nobleman, famous for his treatise on a temperate life. From some dishonesty on the part of his relatives he was deprived of his rank, and induced to retire, to I^adua, where' he acquired the experience in regard to food and regimen which he detailed in his works. In his youth he lived freely, but after a severe illness at the age of 40, he began- under medical advice gradually to reducehis diet. For some time he restricted himself to a daily allowance of 12 ounces of solid, food and .14 ounces of wine; later in life he reduced still further his bill of fare and he found he could support his life and strength with no more solid meat than an egg a day. So much habituated did he become to this simple diet, that when he was about 70 years of age the addition by way of experiment of .two ounces a day had nearly proved fatal. At the age of 83 he wrote his treatise on "The Sure and Certain Method of Attaining a Long and Healthful Life,' and this work was followed by three.others on the same subject, composed at the ages of S6, 91 and 95 respectively. 'They are written,' says Ad- 'disdn, (Spectator, No. 195), with such aj FOIBLES OF THE WEALTHY Marlborough's Extravagance. J-ust think of being rich enough to pay $120,000 to have the mud cleaned Tiit^OfTT'liiiring poluFin order that the .vater might become clear enough to' iee the fish and thus make the angler's ���port doubly interesting. And all this by one man for his own special pleasure and, mayhap, occasionally, for the iniusement of a few- friends. Of course ���"his savors most strongly of American ������old and the spirit of lofty and spectacular extravagances that has grown up in this country with the fabulous fortunes of the last decade, but it was only .in incident in an English nobleman's ocheme of improvements in his country home, for ever since Consuelo Vanderbilt married the duke of Marlborough Blenheim palace and its surroundings have been of undiminished interest to Americans, and it was simply to make it even more attractive to his wife's country folk that the duke lavished so much money on improvements. Of course everybody knows Blenheim palace is in Woodstock, the place made, famous by Sir Walter Scott's novel, 'Woodstock," wherein the untimely fate of Fair Rosamond is so graphically described. It was a favorite estate of King Henry II, and there jealous Queen Eleanor instigated the pitiful suicide of her rival, Fair Rosamond,-in 1177. Woodstock is old and sleepy, but Blenheim is still there with the ninth duke of Marlborough in possession, and "Our Consuelo" its mistress. So once more old Woodstock comes to the front, and with American progressiveness claims its share of modern notice. A coach and four horses, driver and truiii'peter clad in scarlet, comes rattling into quiet Woodstock every clay, the sound of its horn waking the echoes in the sleepy old town. The coach is a new thing and is driven between Oxford to Woodstock through the historic park and ���*Tounds of Blenheim solely for the benefit of sightseers. The park itself, comprising 2,700 acres, is inclosed by a continuous wall 15 miles around. The route of the coach is over eight miles long and through the most delightful sections of the park. Up the long hills the horses are driven at a swift pace and sometimes, too, through such narrow glades that one trembles. The horn rouses into flight tens of thousands of rabbits, beautiful, soft, brown creatures, whose whito spotted skin dot the grass like moon daisies. These rabbits are famous, through England. The first stop is made at the lake, which, as before sta-. TELEGRAMS IN BRIEF FORM From Various-Sources.---.

During the past few days there has been an- unusual waste of water and as a measure of protection the mayor hfts decided tp cut off the water service through wfiiph waste is reported- A�� ^ spection of the services will be m**4e ��pr day and consumers should govern them'r selves accordingly. In addition to the waste which is complained of there is a heavy <1arln upon the supply from the local smelter and the o, p, h, and. to meet this the city engineer has deemed it necessary to taite in another small stream of water which is expected to add a few thousand gallons to the supply. P. J. Nichols, who has the lease on the Fern mine, is likely to prove that the Fern is all right when properly handled. He has started the mill on tho old dumps which were piled up under tht) former management and litis put through 150 tons of sorted ore so far, The ore that he is treating from the dump has a value of about ?7.E>0 per ton, of which Nichols is saving about one- half on the mill plates, the rest being in ,��he tailings.

The bulk of the work on the provincial end of the British Columbia Southern railway was jet on" Thursday and the men who_ took, the contracts upon it are now free to see Svhether they can .make money on the; prices fixed or go broke/While tlie. prices at which the work was let are said to be low there is one feature in connection with the work which commends itself to everyone and this is'that no attempt will be made to build the road out of the profits from the sale of supplies to the men employed upon the grade. As is usual in such cases the contractors expect to sell the bulk of the goods consumed upon the work, but this time the retail price of supplies is fixed at ten per cent advance upon the first cost to the contractors, and the sub-contractor's have also the option if they see fit of purchasing their supplies where they like. From the sub-contractor's point of view thin is a marked advantage over the system which obtained on every other piece of work which has.been carried out in the district, where for the most, part the sub-contractors' broke, perhaps a little better than even.;,on. the .contractor's prices, and went- broke on the prices charged for stores. ; In. addition to the very fair arrangement which has been made with respect to the purchase of stores there is the variety, whicli has been made in the classifications of the work. Instead of the arbitrary classification of rock and earth the sub-contractors on this piece of work are given six classifications: Earth, cemented gravel, loose rock, gumbo, hard pan, and solid rock. The first six miles of the work has been given to. Twohey. Brothers of Spokane. They have the first work on this side of the international line.
