PARTICULARLY SEVERE ON AN ARCHY AND ANARCHISTS. RECOMMENDATIONS. f. WASHINGTON, December 3.���The following is an abstract of president Roosevelt's message to congress: "To the senate and house of representatives: The congress assembles this year under the shadow of a great calamity. On the 6th of September president McKinley was shot by an Auar- - chist while attending the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo and died in that city on the fourteenth day of that month. Of the last seven elected presidents, he-is "the third who has been murdered and tho bare recital of this act is sufficient to justify grave alarm among all loyal American citizens. Moreover, tho circumstances of this, thc "third assassination of an American president, has a peculiarly sinister significance ,. Both presidents Lincoln and Garfield were killed by assassins of types unfortunately not uncommon in* history, president Lincoln falling avic- . Urn to the terrible passions aroused by four years of civil war and presideut Garfield Lo the revengeful vanity of a disappointed office seeker. President McKinley was killed by an utterly depraved criminal belonging to that" body .., of criminals who object to all governments, good and bad alike, who are against any form of popular liberty if il is guaranteed by even the most just and liberal laws, and who are as hostile to the upright exponent of a- free people's sober will as to the tyrannical and irresponsible despot." TO SUPPRESS ANARCHY. '- ��� President Roosevelt, after eulogizing the late'president as a public man of honesty and integrity, a gallant soldier and a man broad of nature, takes r\p the question of anarchy.. "The Anarchist is everywhere,", tho message says, "not merely the enemy of system and of progress, but tho deadly foe of liberty. If ever Anarchy is triumphant, its triumph'"-will last but for one reel moment to be succeeded by a great gloomy night of despotism. No man or body of men preaching Anarchistic doctrines should" be allowed at large any more than if preaching the murder of some specified private individual. Anarchist speeches, writings and meetings are essentially seditious and treasonable. I earnestly recommend to congress that in the exercise of its wise discretion it should take into consideration the coming into this country of Anarchists or, persons professing principles hostile' to all government and justifying the murder of those placed in authority. Such individuals as those who not long ago gathered in open meeting to glorify the murder of king Humbert of Italy perpetrate a crime and tir^laws"^lrdffla^h"sure^their=arigorous*= punishment. They and those like them should be kept out of this country, and if found, here they should be deported to the country whence they came and far-reaching provision should be made for the punishment of those who stay. No matter calls more urgently for. the wisest thought of congress. Anarchy is a crime against tho whole human race and all mankind should be one against the Anarchist. His crime' Should Vn made an offense against the law of nations, like piracy and that form of man stealing known ns the slave trade, for it is of far blacker infamy than either. It should be eo declared by treaties amongst all civilized powers. Such treaties would give to the federal government the power of dealing with the crime." PROSPERITY AND TRUSTS. The message refers to the abounding prosperity of the country and says ot industrial conditions: "The tremendous and highly complex industrial development which went on with accelerated rapidity during the latter half of the nineteenth century brings us face to face at the beginning of the twentieth with very serious social problems. The old laws and the old customs which had almost the force of law were once quite sufficient to regulate the accumulation and distribution of wealth. Since the industrial changes which have so enormously increased the productive power of mankind, they'are no longer sufficient. It is not true that as the rich have grown richer the poor have grown poorer. On the contrary, never before has the average man, the wage worker, the fanner, the small trader been so well off as in this country at the present time. There is. a widespread conviction in the minds of the American people that the great corporations known as trusts are in certain features and tendencies hurtful to the general welfare. This springs from no spirit of envy or uncharitableness, nor lack of pride in the great industrial achievements that have placed this country at the head of the nations struggling for commercial supremacy. It does not rest upon a lack of intellectual appreciation of the necessity of meeting changing anu changed conditions of trade with new methods, nor upon ignorance of the fact that com- j lunation ol capital in the effort to ao- j ry\ complish great things is necessary when the world's progress demands that great things be done. It is based upon sincere conviction that combination and concentration should not be prohibited but supervised, and within reasonable limits controlled, and in my judgment, this conviction is right. Corporations engaged in interstate commerce should be regulated if they are found to exercise a license working to the public injury. The first essential in determining how to deal with the great industrial combinations is knowledge of the facts, publicity. In the interest of the public the government should have the right to inspect and examine the workings of great corporations engaged in interstate business. Publicity is the only sure remedy which we can hoav invoke. What further remedies are heeded in the way of governmental regulation or taxation can only be determined after publicity has been given by process of law and in course of administration. The first requisite is knowledge, full and complete, knowledge which may be made, public to the world. Other means of regulating trusts are federal supervision over alL-corpor- ations doing an interstate commerce business and the creation of a cabinet officer to bo known as secretary of commerce and industry." The immediate enactment of the Chinese exclusion act is recommended. LABOR UNIONS. t Referring to the question of labor- unions, president Roosevelt says: "The chief factor in the success of each man, wage worker, farmer and capitalist alike, must be the sum total of his individual qualities and abilities. Second to this come the power of union, combination or association! with othe^\j Very great good has and will be accomplished by associations or unions of wage workers whon managed with forethought, and when they combine insistence upon their own rights with law-abiding respect for the rights of others. The display of these qualities in such bodies is a duty to the nation, no less than to the associations themselves. Finally there must also be in many cases action by the government in order to safeguard their rights and interests of all." IMMIGRATION LAWS. , "The present immigration laws," the message continues, "are- unsatisfactory. Anarchists and all persons of low moral tendency should be excluded and careful educational and economic tests applied to all "immigrants." TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY. "Regarding tho tariff and reciprocity, president Roosevelt says: "There is general acquiescence in our present tariff system as a national policy. The ilrst requisite to our prosperity is the continuity and stability of this eco^ noiiiic policy. Nothing could be more unwise than to disturb the business interests of the country by a general tariff change at this time. But apprehensive uncertainties are exactly what we most wish to avoid in the interest r i our commercial and material well being. Our experience in the past has shown chat sweeping revisions of the tariff are apt to produce conditions closely resembling panic in the business of the world. Yet it is not only possible, but eminently desirable, to combine with the stability of our economic system a supplementary system of reciprocal benefit and obligation with other nations. Such .reciprocity is an incidental re- =sult-=o��=the=&*Ei*n=establishmfint^anjilj)i'fiss= ervation of our present economic policy. It was specially provided for^ in the present tariff law. Reciprocity must be treated as the handmaid of protection. Our first duty is to. see that the protection granted by the tariff in every case where it is needed is maintained and that reciprocity be sought for so far .as it can be safely done without injury to our home industries. Just how far to go must be determined according to the individual cases, remembering always that every application of our tairff policy to meet our changing national needs must be conditioned upon the cardinal fact that the duties must never be reduced below the point that will cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. The well-being of the wage worker is a prime consideration of our entire policy of economic legislation. Subject to this proviso of thc proper protection necessary to our industrial well-being at home, the principle of reciprocity must command our hearty support. Tho phenomenal growth of our export tjrade emphasises jilie* urgency of the need for wider markets snd for a liberal policy in dealing with foreign nations. Whatever is merely petty'or vexatious in the way of trade restrictions should be avoided. The customers to whom we dispose of our surplus products in the long run, directly or indirectly, purchase those surplus products by giving us something in return. Their ability to purchase our products should, as far as possible, be secured by so arranging our tariff as to enable us to take from them those products which we' can use without harm to our own industries and labor or the use of which will be or marked benefit to us. It is most important that we should maintain the high level of our present prosperity. We have now reached the Point in the development of our interests where we are not only able to supply our own markets,' but to produce a constantly growing surplus for which we must find markets abroad. To secure these markets, we can utilize existing duties in any case where they are no longer neded for the purpose of protection, or\ in any case where the article is not produced here and the duty is no longer necessary for revenue, as giving us something to offer in exchange for what we ask. The / whicli are so desirable will naturally be promoted by the course thus required by our own interests. Thc natural line of development for a policy of reciprocity will be in connection with those of our productions which no longer require all of the support once needed to establish them upon a'sound basirv and with those others where, either because of natural or economic causes, we are beyond the reach of successful competition. I ask the attention of the senate to the reciprocity treaties laid before it by my predecessor. Legislation for the restoration to the ecean of the American merchant marine is urgent. Attention is called to the fact that foreign vessels are subsidized, but no specific recommendation is made to congress for a subsidy law." FINANCES. - - Regarding the nation's finances the message says: "The act of March 14th, 1900, intended unequivocally to establish gold as the standard mci.ey and to maintain at a parity therewith all forms of money medium in use with us, has been (Shown to: be timely and judicious. The pries of our government bonds in the- world's markets when compared with the . price of similar obligations issued by other rations is a flattering tribute to our "public credit. This condition it is evidently desirable to maintain: "The wisdom of the interstate commerce law has been shown," the message continues, "but the means devised for the enforcement of its provisions are defective. The law should be amended." ' AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT. Attention is called to the work of the department of agriculture during the past fifteen years. "It lias accomplished results of real value in upbuilding domestic and foreign trade. It has gone into new fields until now it is in touch with all sections of the country and with the island groups that lately, came under our jurisdiction whose people must look to agriculture as a livelihood. It is searching the world for grains, grasses, fruits and vegetables specially fitted for introduction into localities in the several states and territories where they may. add materially to our resources. By scientific attention to soil, survey and possible new crops, to breeding of new varieties of plants, to experimental- specimens to' animate industry and applied chemistry, very practical aid has been given our farming and stock-growing interests. The products of the farm have taken an unprecedented place in our export trade during the year that has just closed. Public opinion throughout the United*.States has moved steadily toward a just appreciation of the value of forests, whether planted or of natural growth.'The great part played by them in the creation and maintenance of national wealth is now more fully realize- than ever before. Co-operation in the preservation it tbe forests and .the reclamation of the vast expanse qf arid lands in the west is now recommended." NEW POSSESSIONS. Considerable space is given to the new island possessions of the United States. "Porto Rico is, thriving as never before. In Cuba such progress has been made towards putting the independence of the island upon a firm footing that before the present session of congress closes this will be an accomplished fact, and a greater measure of material prosperity and government honesty and efficiency has been attained in the Phil- =i]Tpi*he-r'tiran=evei-=before=ih=its"history7ii= Referring to the insurrection in the Philippines, the message continues: "The insurrection has become an affair of local banditti and marauders, who deserve no higher regard than the brigands of portions of the old world. Encouragement, direct or indirect, to these insurrectionists stands on the same footing as encouragement to hoc-tile Indians in the days when we still had Indian wars. Exactly .ts our aim is to give to the Indian who remains peaceful the fullest and amplest consideration, but r.o have it understood that we will show no weakness If he goes on the war-pa*ih, so we must make it evident, unless we are false to out traditions and to the demands of civilization and humanity, that while wc will do everything in our power for the Filipino who is peaceful, we will take the sternest measures with the Filipino who follows the path of tho insurrecto and ladrono. The highest praises are due tc the large number of the natives of the islands for their steadfast loyalty. The Macabees have been conspicuous for their courage and devotion to the iiag. I recommend that the secretary of war be empowered to take some systematic action in thc way of aiding those of these men who were crippled in the service and the families of those %vho were killed. The time has come when there should be additional legislation for the Philippines. Nothing better can b". done for the islands than lo introduce neutral enterprises. Nothing would benefit them so much as throwing them upon industrial development. The connection between idle-moss and mischief is proverbial and tbe opportunity to do remunerative work is one of the surest preventives of war. Of course, no business man will go into the Philippines unless it is to his interest to do ko; and it is immensely to the interest of the islands that he should go in. It is necessary that congress should pass laws by which the resources of the islands can be developed, so that franchises (for limited terms of years) can be granted to companies doing business in them and every encouragement be given to the incoming of business men of every kind." OCEAN CABLES. The message continues: "I call your cordial relations with other nations 1 attention most earnestly to the crying need of a cable to Hawaii and the Philippines and to points in Asia. Ws should not defer a day longer than necessary the construction of such cables. It is demanded not merely for commercial but for political and military considerations. Either the congress should immediately provide for the construction of a government cable, or else an arrangement should be made by which like advantages to those accruing from a government cable may be secured by contract .with a private company." - v'ISTHMIAN CANAL7. './,;���> "No single great material work which remains to be undertaken on this continent is of such consequence to the American people as the building of a canal across the isthmus connecting North and South America. Its importance to > the nation is by no means limited merely to -its material effect upon oui' business prosperity, and yet with; the view to'these effects alone it would be to the last degree important to us immediately to begin. While its beneficial effects ..would perhaps . be most marked upon the Pacific coast and the gulf and south Atlantic states, it would! also: greatly benefit other sections.���*, It is emphatically; a work which is for the. interest, of the entire country to begin and complete as soon as possible. It is one of those great works which only a great .nation can undertake with prospects of success and which .when done are not only permanent assets in the nation's material interests, but standing monuments to its constructible ability. I am glad to be able to announce to you that our negotiations on this subject with Great Britain, conducted on both sides in a spirit of friendliness and mutual good will and respect, have resulted in my being able to lay be&re the senate a treaty which if ratified will enable us to begin preparations for an isthmian canal at any time,-^ and which guarantees to this nation every right that is asked in connection with the canal. In this treaty^ the old Clayton- Bulwer treaty, so long recognized as inadequate to supply the basis for the construction and maintenance bf a necessarily American ship canal, is abrogated. It specifically provides that the United States alone shall do the work of building and assume, the responsibility of safeguarding the canal and shall regulate its neutral use by all ��� nations - on terms of equality without the guarantee of interference of any outside nation from any quarter." The signed treaty will. at once be laid before the senate and if approved the congress can then proceed to give' effect to the advantages it secures us by providing for the building of the canal.' DESIRABILITY OF PEACE. "The tru.e-aim of every, great nd free people should be selfrespect in pea'ce and this nation most "earnestly desires sincere and cordial .friendship with all others. Over the entire world of recent years wars between the great, civilized powers have become less frequent; wars with barbarous or semi-barbarous people come in an entirely different category, being merely almost regrettable but necessary international police duty which must be performed for the sake of the welfare of mankind. Peace can only be kept with certainty where both sides wish to keep it; but more and more the civilized peoples are realizing the wicked folly of war and are attaining that condition of just and intelligent regard for the rights of others which will in the end, as we hope and believe, make world-wide peace possible. The peace conference at The Hague gav'e us definite expression to this hope and belief and marked a stride Joward^ their attainment This same ~peace^conference���acquiesced���in==fOur= statement of the Monroe doctrine as compatible with the purposes and aims of the conference. The Monroe doctrine should be the cardinal feature of the foreign policy of all nations of the two Americas, as it is of the United States. Just seventy-eight years have passed since president Monroe in his annual message announced that "the American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power." In other words the Monroe doctrine is a declaration that there must be no territorial aggrandizement by any non-American power at the expense of any American power on American soil. It is in no wise intended as hostile to any nation in the old world. Still less is it intended to give cover to any aggression by one new world power at the expense of any other. It is simply a step and a long step toward assuring the universal peace of the world by securing the possibility of permanent peace on this hemisphere. During the past century other influences have established the permanence and Independence of the smaller states of Europe. Through the Monroe doctrine we hope to be able to safeguard like independence and secure like permanence for the lesser among the new world nations. This doctrine has nothing to do with thc commercial relations of any American power, save that in truth it allows each of them to form such as it desires. In other words, it is really a guarantee of the commercial independence of the Americans. We do not ask under this doctrine for any exclusive commercial dealings with any other American state. We do not guarantee any state against punishment if it misconducts itself, provided that punishment does not take the form of the acquisition of territory by any non- American power. Our attitude in Cuba is a sufficient guaranty of our good faith. We have not the slightest desire to secure any territory at the expense of any of our neighbors. We wish to work with them hand in hand so that all of us may bo uplifted together, and we rejoice over the goon fortune of any of them. We gladly hail their material prosperity and political stability and are concerned and alarmed if any of them fall into industrial or political chaos. We do not wish to see any old world military power grow up on this continent, or be compelled to become a military power ourselves. The people of America can prosper hest if left to work out their own salvation in their own way." NAVY REQUIREMENTS.- "The work of upbuilding the navy must be steadily continued. No one point of our policy, foreign or domestic, is more important than this to the honor and martial welfare and above all to the peace of our nation in the future. Whether we desire it or not, we must henceforth recognize that we have international duties no less than international rights. Even if pur flag were hauled down in the Philippines and Porto Rico, even if we decided not to build the isthmian ctnal, we should need a thoroughly trained" navy of adequate size, or else % be prepared definitely and "for all time to abandon the idea,that our nation is among those whose sons go down to the sea in ships. Unless our commerce is always to be carried -in foreign bottoms we inust have war craft to protect it. Our people intend to abide by. the Monroe doctrine and to insist upon it as tne only sure means of securing the peace of the western hemisphere. The navy "offers; us the only means of making our insistence upon the Monroe doctrine anything but a subject of derision to whatever nation chooses to disregard it.*; We desire the peace which comes as; of right to the just man armed; not the peace granted on terms of ignominy to the craven and the weakling. Four thousand additional ' seamen and one thousand additional marines should be provided, and an increase in the officers provided. It is not necessary to increase our army beyond its presentsize at this time, but it is necessary to keep it at its highest point of efficiency. The .individual units who as officers and enlisted . men compose this army, ��� are, we have good reason to believe, at least as efficient as those of any other army, in the entire world. It is our duty to see that their training is of a kind to insure the highest possible expression of power of the units when acting in combination. THE INDIAN. ��� "In my judgment the time has arrived when we should definitely make up our, minds to recognize the' Indian as an individual and not as a member, of a tribe. The general allotment act is a mighty. pulverizing engine to break up the tribal mass. It acts directly, upon the family and the individual. Under its provisions some sixty thousand Indians - have already become citizens ofthe United States. We should now, break up the tribal funds, doing for them what allotment does for the tribal lands; that is, they should be divided into individual holdings. A stop should be put upon the indiscriminate permission to Indians to lease their allotments. The effort should be steadily to * make the Indian .work like any other man on his own ground. -The marriage laws of the Indians should be made the same as those of the whites." President Roosevelt endorses the' Charleston and the St. Louis expositions and praises the work done by the Pan- American exposition at Buffalo. '- CHINESE MATTERS.. Continuing, the message says: "Owing to the rapid growth of our power and our interests on the Pacific, whatever happens in China must be of the keenest national concern to us. The general terms of the setlement of the questions growing out of the anti-foreign uprisings in China of 1900 having been framed in a joint note addressed to China by the representatives of the injured powers in December last, were promptly accepted by the Chinese government. After protracted conferences the plenipotentiaries of the several powers were able to sign a final pro- ^tocol^with-_the_Chinese,pjejUpotentig1'ie!l on the 7th day of last September setting forth the measures taken by China in compliance with the demands of the joint note and expressing their satisfaction therewith. It will be laid before the congress with a report of the plenipotentiary on behalf of the United States, William Woodville Rockhill. to whom high praise is due for the tact, good judgment and energy he has displayed iri performing an exceptionally difficult and delicate task. The agreement reached disposed in a manner satisfactory to the powers of various grounds of complaint and will contribute materially to better future relations between China and the powers. Reparation has been mado by China for the murder of foreigners during the uprising, and punishment has been inflicted on the officials, however high in rank, recognized as responsible for having participated in the outbreak. Official examinations have been forbidden for a period of five years in all cities in which foreigners have been murdered or cruelly treated and edicts have been issued making all officials directly responsible for the future safety of foreigners and for the suppression of violence against them. Provisions have been made for insuring the future safety of the foreign representatives in Pekin by setting aside for tueir exclusive use a quarter of the city which the powers can make defensible and in which they can, if necessary, maintain permanent military guards, by dismantling the military works between the capital and the sea, and by allowing the temporary maintenance of foreign military posts along this line. An edict has been issued by the emperor of China prohibiting for two years the importation of arms and ammunition into China. China has agreed to pay adequate indemnities to the states, societies and Individuals for the losses sustained by them and for the expenses of the military expeditions sent by the various powers to protect life and restore order. Under the provisions of the joint note of December. 1900. China has agreed to revise the treaties of commerce nnd navigation and to take such other steps for the purposo of facilitating foreign trade as the foreign ^powers may decide to be needed. The "Chinese government has agreed to participate financially in the work of bettering the water approaches to Shanghai and to Tien Tsin, the centers of foreign trade in central and northern China, and an international conservancy board, in which the Chinese government Is largely represented, has been provided for the improvement of tho Shanghai rivor and the control of its navigation. In the same line of commercial advantages a revision of the present tariff on imports has been assented to for the purpose of substituting specific for ad valorem duties and an expert has been sent abroad on the part of the United States to assist in this work. A list of articles to remain free of duty, including flour, cereals and rice, gold and silver coins and silver bullion has also been .agreed upon in the settlement. During these troubles our government has unswervingly advocated moderation and has materially aided in bringing about an adjustment which tends to enhance the welfare of China and to lead to a more beneficial intercourse between the empire and the modern world; while in the critical period of revolt and massacre we did our full share in safeguarding life and property, restoring order and vindicating the national interest and honor. It behooves us to continue in these paths, doing what is in our power to foster feelings of good will and leaving no effort untried to work out the great policy of full and fair intercourse between China and the nations, on a footing of equal rights and advantages to all. We advocated the "open door" with all that it implies, not merely the procurement of enlarged commercial operations on the coasts, but access to the interior by waterways with which China has been so extraordinarily favored. Only by bringing the people of China into peaceful and friendly community of trade with all the peoples of the earth can the work now auspiciously begun be carried to fruition. In the attainment of this purpose we necessarily claim parity of treatment, under the conventions, throughout the empire for our trade and our citizens with those of all "other powers." The message concludes: "The death of queen Victoria caused the people of the United States deep and heartfelt sorrow, to which the government gave full expression. When president McKinley died, our nation in turn received from every quarter of the British empire expressions of grief and sympathy no less sincere. - "Indeed from every quarter of the civilized world we received at the time of the president's death, assurances of such grief and regard as to touch the hearts of" our people. In the midst of our affliction we reverently thank the Almighty that we are at peace with the nations of mankind, and we firmly intend that our policy shall be such as to continue unbroken these international relations of respect and good will." IT WILL BE A FINISH FIGHT PRICE OF SILVER There Will Be No Lack of Funds. " James Wilks, vice-president of the Western Federation of Miners, John Keiley and James A. Baker, members of the executive board for districts Nos. 2 and 6, respectively, arrived a few days ago from Denver, Colorado, in which city the headquarters of the Federation are located. It is a well-known fact that the full executive board of the Federation has been in session recently for about two weeks, and also that one of the most important questions that came up for consideration was the strike situation at Rossland and North- port. The above-named gentlemen upon being pressed for an interview ^rade=*tlie=following-=joint=statement:= The strike situation at Northport and Rossland has been presented to the executive board, and has been fully considered in all its details by that body. The Federation is fully aware of and highly appreciates the splendid stand maintained by the members of Rossland and Northport unions in this strike up to the present time, and they can depend upon every assistance, financial and otherwise "being afforded them . to conduct their campaign to a satisfactory outcome. We have carefully gone over the whole situation with the officials of the union and have made all necessary plans and preparations to continue the fight indefinitely until justice is done, and the union laborers at Rossland receive $3 per day, the same rate of wages that Is paid in every other camp in Kootonay and Boundary. We have no desire to assume an air of bravado upon this matter, but we wish to say with the strongest possible em- for an indefinite period, and our mem- cial position to maintain the struggle for an indefinite period, tnd our members being so firmly Impressed with tho justice of their demands, and being fully satisfied that every honest and unbiased mind that is to any extent familiar with the situation will acknowledge their right to receive the wages they ask for, they are determined to stay with the fight until a satisfactory adjustment is effected. In this position they will be supported regardless of expense to the fullest extent of their power by the Western Federation of Miners. VT* Any advantage which the company console themselves with, in the fact that they have non-union mon in their employ at present, we know to be more fancied than real. We are satisfied that the companies will never accomplish results satisfactory to themselves and their shareholders with incompetent, non-union men. The mine managers know just_as well as we do that they will not secure a competent class. of mine and smelter workmen so long as a strike is on at their works. They also know that as soon as the strike is declared off, they will not experience the slightest difficulty in securing as competent a class of workmen as can be found. The strike will he declared off when the reasonable requests of the unions are acceded to, hut not before. AND BAD ROADS STOPS ORE SHIPMENTS , FROM TEE ARLINGTON TEMPORARILY-NO REDUCTION IN FORGE INTENDED. J. Frank Collom of the Arlington and Speculator mines arrived in Nelson yesterday on legal business. Mr. Col-' lorn says that the road to the Arlington has been in such a shape for the past three weeks that "the hauling of .ore over it has been out of the question.- This, however, is not occasioning the. management of the Arlington any concern, as with silver as weak as it is shipping is no very great object, especially in view of the fact that an- ad- vance in price may be expected with, the beginning, of; the new year. "With ore of the grade of tue Arlington product an advance bf one cent an ounce in the price of silver means at least ?20 to the car, and it therefore becomes , an object to the company to hold its ��� output when there is_ a chance of tho * market making four or five cents in the price of silver. Personally Mr. collom. - says he is in favor of holding-the output of the Arlington until January "and" the advisability of following such a course will be considered by the "com-- pany. If this course is adopted it will not make very, much difference witB. respect to the force' employed at the mine, as the-development work will be kept well advanced so that everyuadvan- tage could be taken of an advance in the price of silver.' The*-*'force at the'mine now numbers about eighty men" and this number will be kept at work all winter. On the Speculator mine the force consists of about "twenty men. This number will not be increased until spring, when surface work can be resumed. The .property is developing well, but the work done upon it so far has been largely of an exploratory nature with a view to determining ^.the best manner in which to work the "group. From such work as has- been done Mr. Collom is of the opinion that the pro-, perty will eventually be worked.'through"' a shaft, a start upon which will be made in the spring. Connection was made ou Friday last between the base line tunnel which is being driven on the group and the upper workings. The' connection was made some 700 feet in from the mouth of the tunnel and tapped a column of water 90 feet' hicrh which was standing in a shaft, in addition to a large body of water in thc 300 loot drift above. The miners had an idea that they were about to make the connection and they got out to the mouth of the base tunnel before the last blast was set off and thus got out of harm's way. Although Mr. Collom is best known by reason of his connection with the Arlington and Speculator properties, he has greater claims to prominence in connection with the jjevelopment__of_J*he mineral resources. '���*-"������ - "i fj *" * HHLI t "*-���" -3 V -i* & ��� ���& ^ & e - Ys * -> _8S_f S < :e^aflBff -t-U&fli 1 *<T>i> air -y -r. , ---*' jcgk ---^ -JSffifM I'.'i of Kootenay in that he was the organizer of the company which "completed and operated the smelter at Pilot Bay; ~ and also opened up the Blue Bell mine, Kootenay's historic lead property. Although every dollar that those interested put into this enterprise was lost, Mr. Collom is still of the opinion that the chief cause, for failure was the fact that the enterprise of operating the smelter at Pilot Bay was several years ahead of tho times. Had the business been properly handled Mr...Collom.,is.of the opinion that the promoters of the ;en;terpriso could have controlled thea smelting industry of the province and have forced railways to it instead of being sidetracked as has since been tho case. When the smelter at Pilot Bay ' was first projected it was the opinion of president Van I-Iorne oi the Canadian Pacific railway that the big Canadian road would build through to Kootenay lako via Crawford Bay. The possibilities of the Crow's Nest coal fields* in the way of cheap fuel were known-at this time so that the smelter seemed assured of transportation facilities as well as a cheap fuel supply. The construction of this piece of railway from Marysville in East Kootenay to Kootenay lake via Crawford creek is now- regarded as among the probabilities for the immediate future, but the mine on which the smelter depended almost wholly was demonstrated to be of little value, and the smelter stands as a, monument to the pluck of the men who assumed they could not only mine and smelt the load ores of Kootenay, but work np the lead into commercial pro- . ducts as we!!. Franklin Farrell, who purchased a fourth interest in the mine, was interested in the smelter: project which at . first was a separate concern from the Blue Bell. Farrell spent about $fi0.0*vy - on the erection of the plant before he lost faith in the scheme and quit. Th". mine without the smelter was of little value and it was at this stage that " Mr. Coilom was set at work to form a company to carry the enterprise through. A deal was made with Farrell by which he was given about 50 cents on the dollar for what he had sunk in. smelter construction and sufficient [Continued on Fourth Page.] J . ���J^"*^*******-*^*****^^ ���.ttW-WW-WXfc^WWMffww^VWitt*, IUW.V-U-*-** tt-w-n'tuSfc^Kuvti^ _-.tf> , ,._.-*. i-;-\-C.

He (the minister of education) then assured the member for Nelson that Nelson' would receive fair treatment, and on' that understanding work on' the high school building was commenced, the city council, to their credit, agreeing to. bear half the cost of the building. The' city council of Rossland absolutely refused to bear any share,of the cost of the new school building at that place,' and the minister of education,' after, making a trip to Rossland,', agreed to pay the entire cost of a new frame building, estimated to cost $10,000. The member for Nelson characterized the action of the minister of education as unfair to Nelson, a city that had will-, ingly undertaken to bear a share of the cost of a new building, 'and has since insisted that Nelson be'.treated". as other cities have been treated. It is true, the present member for 'Nelson 'may''not have as much influence with the goV7 ernment as mayor Fletcher has; but if the latter has so much influence with the government, why has" he not secured title for the city to the site for the power station on Kootenay river?

At the last meeting of thc, council he Is reported as having said: " The present member for Nelson in the "local house had positively refused to " ask, for it. (Meaning an appropriation for school purposes for Nelson). "He had said that the city should not " be a mendicant in such a matter, but "should pay its way." When the scnool hill was up for consideration in the* house last spring, the member for Nelson said all municipalities, city as well as district, should take care of their own public schools, leaving to the province-the care ,of schools in unorganized districts. This view was opposed by members from New Westminster district, from Vancouver, and from Victoria. They all claimed their taxes were so high that they could not stand any additional burden. The bill as passed was, in a measure, a compromise. Cities were divided into three classes, each class getting so much per capita based on the average annual attendance. The law goes into effect on January 1st next. Regarding appropriations for school buildings for the current year, a list of the sums set apart for the cities in Kootenay was made up by the superintendent of education. On that list Rossland- was down for ?7500 and Nelson for ?5000. The member for Nelson insisted that the two cities should be placed on an equal footing, and he was told .that the reason Rossland was given $7500 was because her board of school trustees had asked for $15,000. The .minister.of. education yras.told that the peojjiieYk Wetepu werg aot angndMaitfsi provrlatiooa for wbooj Jjuildinga. jre_-( The four money by-laws tne city- council have under consideration should be treated on their merits. The first is one for $150,000, the money to be used in installing an up-to-date power plant on Kootenay river. It will not be for one moment argued that the present council can spend the money even if it is voted, .but the passage of the by-law will mean that the people of .Nelson are in earnest on a question that is of vital importance to the city. The city is in need of additional power to operate its electric lighting plant, and the power must be either .installed by the city or purchased from private parties. The installation .of a plant by,the city means that the city will take care of its own business, which it is amply able to do; and it also means that the city will be in a position to offer aid to existing industries (like the tramway ���companyiT-or-inducements-to-expected" industries, like the refinery. Without such a plant, the city can neither aid tho tramway nor induce any other industry' to locate here without voting them direct, cash subsidies, and how long could the city keep on voting cash subsidies? The second by-law is for $5000, the money to be used in installing a fire-alarm system. As the present council cannot possibly install the system, would it not bo fairer to allow their -successors a free hand not only in installing the system, but providing ways and means, for paying for it? The noxt councii may be able to install a fire-alarm system without borrowing a dollar, and if they can they should be allowed that privilege, for borrowing money on 20-year debentures means the payment of a large sum-in interest, and it is not good policy to pay interest v/h^n such payments can be avoided. Thc above argument also holds good as to the by-law for borrowing $5000 for an isolation hospital. Such a building may be needed, but as the present council can neither erect the building nor sell the debentures, the erection of the building and procuring the ways and means for doing it shouM be left to next year's council. No one who wants to see the city advance would willingly see oiir public schools in anyway handicapped. If money is required for the erection of buildings and for the maintenance of schools it should be procured, . but i6 it advisable to, .borrow $10,000 for that purpose at this, time? Little heed should be paid to any statement made by mayor Fletcher, either as an official or as an individual. He makes statements merely to justify his actions, and his actions are so inconsistent that his statements are absolutely worthless as a basis for argument. No good reason can be advanced by the provincial government for treating Nelson unfairly in the way ot api- s.on did as she agreed to do, which is to her credit; and if there were more cities in the province like her, the annual deficit of the provincial government would be smaller. But the government has not said they would not. increase Nelson's appropriation for the high school building, and it0 is more than likely that they will increase it to at least the proportions received by Rossland. If this is done, there will be no need of borrowing $10,000 or any other amount for school purposes this year, at least. The question of these four by-laws should be considered by the property-owners on their individual merits, and not because they are favored by mayor Fletcher and alderman Selous, or because they are opposed by alderman Irving and alderman Madden. The decision of the Western Federation of Miners to stand by tlie Rossland Miners' Union and the Northport Smelt- erfnen's Union was the only one that the Federation could take. If the Federation is one in which mine workers have confidence, that confidence can only be maintained by the parent organization standing behind the branch organizations when they are'in difficulties in which they are in the right. The management of the Northport smelter declared war against their employees because they were members of the union, and for rib other reason. The men were doing their work exceptionally well, and there was no disputes as to wages or hours. No self-respecting man will allow another to dictate to him as to his individual rights or privileges. At Rossland, tlie present'.strike is the' outcome of a system of "nagging" resorted to by the management of the Le Roi and War Eagle mines. The men came to the conclusion that trie "nagging" could only be stopped by a full recognition,of the union and the payment'of the' scale "of wages paia at every other camp in Kootenay and Yale. The Le Roi mine has started0 work with the aid of strike-breakers imported from Missouri, Colorado, and California;-but the men who brought on the strike have had to go, and Bernard ^McDonald, and Bela Kadish are no longer managers at Rossland arid Northport.. .The Federation is strong in numbers, having branch organizations in every metalliferous mining camp" between the Mississippi river and the. Pacific ocean. Its oflicers have the experience that -can only be gained in trouble. The troublous times in the Coeiir d'Al'eiies and in Colorado have taught them useful lessons. They know that force will be met by force���riot the force "of .the men with whom they are at^ difference,' but the force of ,the government. They, know, that fights, can' only be won by using public-opinion as weapons; and they know that tliey can only get the aid of, .public opinion when their cause' is just. Their opponents have the active" sympathy and support of. all the great mining companies and their numerous allies. It is a fight between mine managers and mine workers, in which the latter have only tlie advantage rof numbers. The mine managers have the spending of money that is the property of shareholders who seldom know the true inwardness of the differences that i i.i result in strikes and lockouts. The mine-workers spend the money that ^���^-^^^-^'AsS^^^^-^^S^^^^ m &��L:&��L&ZL��__:&0&S___:SLsLt_t:S_ztlt_il_i:^' fS^'00'00^S'00'00'000^^*00^^r^i^^r^.^s.r^ \\\ ^^^^^^^^t^^^.^^^^^-S^ to to to to to to to to to to ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK WE WILL SELL THE BALANCE OF OUE STOCK OF LADIES' MANTLES AND COSTUMES torn to to to to to to AND CHILDREN'S COATS AT HALF PRICE $ m lif\ WE WILL ALSO SHOW EXCEPTIONAL BARGAINS IN LADIES' FLANELETTE-WEAR j$\ to fl\ fj\ GOODS AND PRICES TO SUIT ALL fo to - to to _ to to ~~ ~ _ _ ZYYY~ ~YY " ~ ���Mj IjIJ ^ ^0h0 ^0 ^B0 * 36 Bakep Street, Nelson. to VL to ^'���&'^ii^&'.&Y^'^'&'^'^'&'&'^'0*'^'0i*'4��' v|v -'^���^'^'^������^���^'^���^������^���^���'^���j��'^'^.^^>*^,>^* 'V*^^���^*SJ^'-Sf������SJ'i^r-��^ *^k --S^-55 ���'5 ���^������8f' *22r:*^^*��^ |f# ^\S'^^fS'00^fS'00'00'0^'00'00'im0'00^00^^*S0^^^*^'^ Frcm this, it would seem that tioiih the mine-owners and the mine workers are up a&ainst the 'Missourians. The Missouri soft-lead ihine-owners are unwilling to curtail their output in order, to restore normal conditions, because they are making money through conditions being abnorrnal. The Missouri mine- workers hire themselves out as strikebreakers'in our mines, rather than see fellow riiine-work'ers get the rate of wages' that prevail'throughout the silver-lead mining districts of British Columbia. The mine-owners and -mine- workers should .form an" organization to fight the Missourians. . Had a Thrilling Experience. Thomas Cottrell Collins, the traveling agent of The Tribune," has been long in Kootenay. In fact-he traded with the Indians years before "Charlie" Oleson they themselves earn. It is often an unequal contest; hut once such contests are brought on, there appears to be only one way in this country to settle them, and that method will be resorted to to settle the strikes at Rossland and Northport. The mine- workers and smeltermen will win in the end, because they have right on their side. The reports of the conference that is now being held in New York between the American Smelting & Refining Company and the lead miners indicate that there is little likelihood of an agreement that will result in bringing about better conditions for the silver-lead miners of either the United States or British Columbia. The former are now getting four cents a pound for their lead and the latter aro getting $1.40 a hundred. The former are getting four cents because the American Smelting & Refining Company have been maintaining the market, but they can do so no longer with a surplus on hand that is estimated at from 40,000 to 50,000 tons. A cut In the price of lead would mean a heavy loss to them, and they are trying to get the mine owners to agree to curtail their output. The western mine owners are willing to do this, but the soft lead miners of Missouri are unwilling. They can probably make more money with lead at two cents than the western silver-lead mintl^j. can. at four cents, and '��� knbwirig that they have .the "cinch" they propose, to keep it. The American Smelting <& Refining Company say they will stop purchasing American ores altogether and get a supply from the silver-lead mitts of British Columbia. This threat will probably bring the Couer d'Alene mine- owners to terms, and cause them to curtail their output until such tint, is the Airvericain Smelting & Reli.t.ng Ci'in- settled at Ainsworth. ."Tom" never goes anywhere without haying a'hair-breadth escape or a, thrilling .experience; arid his recent trip through the,Slo'can was not;,an exception. Nearly all the mines in the Slocan are reached by trairiways, some of ��� them aerial rope arid others surface. Their use is not generally all- lowed because of the danger,.but men will risk-the danger rather, than take the time .to walk any where from a mile to five miles up a steep trail. VTom" has faced dangers ever-since he left Nort|i Carolina, and he^ would rather ride four miles in a tram'-bucket-than walk half a" mile on a plank sidewalk. Hp was at the Ivanhoe mill, and he wanted tb get to the mine without walking. The boys gave him peririissibri to take, a seat in a bucket, and, phoned to th'e boys at the upper end to.be ready to receive a newspaperman.. The r bucket moved slo.wly along until,it got, right -over-a7200-root-gorgerwhere-it-stoppe<*Jr and. "Tom" began to wonder if ,he was hung up for the day, which .was rather a cold one. After a stop of, about tten minutes the-bucket began to move along again, and kept moving right along until it got within a thousand feet of the mine, where it stopped the instant the whistle blew for dinner. It stopped, of course, between two towers, and "Tom-" yelled to the man in charge to move it up to a tower. This the tram man did, but he didn't stop it until it liad passefl tlie tower by six or seven feet, just far enough to make "Tom" go hand-overhand and spoil a new pair, of buck driving gloves to reach it. Arrived at the mine, "Tom" was creeted by; a nuriiber of the boys who knew him. and who evidently knew who was in the bucket all the time. Thc joke had to go, because "Tom" is a practical joker himself. . ARCHITECTS. A. C. EWAKT.���ARCHITECT, ROOM 3, Aberdeen Block, Baker Street, Nelsoa. DRAYAGE.

WASHINGTON, December 3.���The senate listened to the first message of president Roosevelt today and adopted a resolution directing the appointment of a committee to co-oyerate with a like ���-��� committee from -the house to consider by -what token of respect and affac- tion congress might express the sorrow of the nation upon the. tragic death of the late president McKinley. The message was delivered soon after the senate met. The reading occupied nearly two and a half haurs and was listened to with marked respect by the senators. The first portion relating to the Buffalo tragedy excited, the most profound interest in the senate. At the conclusion of the reading of the message Mr. " Foraker, senior senator from Ohio, presented the McKinley resolution and as a further mark of respect, the senate adjourned. Not in many years have the members' of the house listened with such rapt attention to the reading of the annual message of a president of the United States as they did today to the reading of the first' message of president Roosevelt. Every word was followed intently from the announcement of the tragic death of president McKinley, the opening sentence, to the expression of the closing wish that our relations with the world would continue peaceful. The reading occupied two hours, hut not over a dozen members left their seats until it was concluded. Several times there was applause and at' the conclusion there was an enthusiastic demonstration on the Republican side. On motion of Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio) that portion of the message relating to the death of the'late president was referred to a committee to consist of one member from each state to join a similar committee pf the senate to consider and report by what token of- respect and affection it may bo proper for congress to express the deep sensibility of the nation on "the tragic death of the ' late president. The speaker apnointprl a committee headed by Mr. Grosvenor, and then as a further mark of respect the house adjourned. The Socialists Capture Northport NORTHPORT,, December 3.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Today's municipal election resulted in the election of the following members of the Socialistic ticket: Mayor, George Stillinger; coun- cilman-at-large, Fred Blair; councilman for two years, Henry "C. Rugaber and George Foster; city clerk, Henry Charles Thompson; city treasurer, Floyd C. Smith; health officer, John R. Connolly. Of-the citizen's . nominees Justin Baird was elected councilman-foi���two*=yearsi and John A. Kellogg, city attorney. The Socialist victory is due to the clever work of John G. Harkness, who organized the Socialists here this summer. He secured the registration of every Socialist, and yet. worked so quietly that the nomination of the Socialist ticket after the close of registration came as a complete surprise to the old parties. It is probable that the showing made by the Socialists today will give them considerable prominence in Stevens county politics next year. Greenwood Local News.

P., ot Lyndoch, Ontario, arrived in Buffalo at 11 o'clock this morning and,;was met at the station by a committee of the Merchants' -Exchange. ' Mr. Charlton was tendered a standing luncheon at noon on the floor of the Merchants' Exchange. Mr. Charl-; ton spoke of "Reciprocity with" Canada," a topic in which the exchange has been taking an active interest, and in the interests of which the exchange sent a delegation to appear before president Roosevelt. He sums up the tariff situation as 'follows: The condition of trade matters between the two countries may be suriimarized as follows: "The Canadian tariff is one-half that of the United States. Canada buys from the,. United States threefold' as much,' as her sales to that country of farm produce and general imports. Canada has opened for herself other markets and the chief market now for her products is Great Britain. Canada derives ner chief supply of manufactures from the United States. The condition of trade between the two countries is so inequitable that great dissatisfaction prevails in Canada, and that country will not be contented to remain in a position where she buys enormously with offering tariff impediments to the entry of imports .from the United States, .and is practically excluded from the market of that country. The American tariff can be.copied by Canada arid ��� a kind of reciprocity thereby be secured that will minimize American trade and give it the shrunken proportion now characteristic of the Canadian exports to the United States.

George O, Madigan, provincial inspector of boilers, has returned from a trip of inspection to East Kootenay points. He reports that Thomas R. Stockett, the new manager of the Crow's Nest Coal Company, is abandoning much of the work that has already been done1, ���on the coal seam at Michel and proceeding upon entirely new lines. It is also said that virtually all of tbe boilers and compressor machinery at the property" is to be replaced, The litigation over the ground comprised in the Native Silver fraction, which lies between the Arlington and Burlington mineral claims in the Slocan, came up in a couple of chamber motions made before the chief justice yesterday. In the case of rManley vs. Collom, an action to determine title to the ground in dispute, an order was made upon the application of the defendant approving "of security of costs for th'e appeal which is to be taken to the supreme court of Canada; and in the case of Manley vs. the Arlington Company, an action to stop the defendant company from working the ground in dispute, an order was made for the examination by the registrar of D. H. Harrington, late foreman of the Arlington property. PRICE OF SILVER, [Continued From First Page.] money to complete the plant was raised. The mine, however, did not come up tb expectations. Instead of being the big lead property which the experts reported it, and which the surface indications led everyone to believe it was, it turned out to be.nothing more than a series of small stringers oJCVjlow grade galena. There were still possibilities for the smelter ;as a customs concern, and the management was equal to the business,0 but the mines that could have been drawn upon refused to ship to it. Few of those who were interested, in the venture had any idea of what they were up against until the final smash came, when it was shown that all that had been put into the venture and all that could be borrowed on the strength of such an investment, had been lost. Oddly enough one of the heaviest holders of stock in the venture with Mr. Collom was R. P. Rithet" of Victoria, who is now associated with him in the Arlington mine, so that both bid fair to pull out considerably more than even on their investments in the district even taking into consideration the length 61 time that has elapsed between the two. A Compromise Likely. The hearing of the plaintiff's case in the action of George vs. the Wallace- Miller Company occupied the whole of yesterday's sitting of the supreme court, which was presided over by his lordship chief justice McColl. The case is the result of. a falling out of the principal shareholders in the Wallace-Miller Company. When the business of the firm was put into a joint stock company an inventory was taken, as a result of wh'ich the Wallace-Miller Interest was credited with $7,000 worth of stock in the new concern- whicn was organized and the plaintiff, P. W. George, was taken in .as a partner, he putting, In $12,962, thus giving him virtually a one third interest in the business. Through the failure.of the stock holders to agree the present, action was commenced by George with a-view to securing a winding-up of the company affairs and an accounting .from ;the date of the organization of the present company. Yesterday's portion of the hearing of the case was confined .to the examination of the plaintiff as to the causes for his dissatisfaction witn the manner in which the business of the company was being carried on, and the reading by his. solicitor of the correspondence between the parties with a view to securing a settlement of the differences before the suit was brought. This correspondence showed that offers or suggestions were made on both sides for buying or selling of the conflicting interests, but no basis of valuation was arrived at and in the end the action was commenced. When the reading of this correspondence was completed the chief justice suggested a further conference between the parties to the dispute. He said that in view of the circumstances disclosed it was a most extraordinary one, coming before him in the manner in which it had. It was evident that the members of^theicompany.^who^w-ere^reallyupart^ ners, could no longer get along together, and it was necessary in the interest of all concerned that some arrangement should be arrived at. The case was not before him at present as to what he should do to settle the diaerences, and for this reason he would say nothing on that point, but if it were he said he would determine in five minutes upon what should be done. If the counsel in the case desired it he would be willing to meet them, though not in his judicial capacity, and talk the matter over. If this was acceptable, without expressing any opinion as to the previous attempts at settlement, he would adjourn the court until the following day. The suggestion of the court was accepted and the case was adjourned. BUSINESS MENTION. Silver King miners, who were burnad out yesterday, can save 50 per cent by buying their clothing at A.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-12-04 |
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. |
