ITS POSITION IN .REGARD TO THE WEST KOOTENAY COMPANY IS DEFINED. C. S. Drummond'of thc British Electric Traction Compahy, and chairman of tho London board of the Nelson Kleetric Tramway Company, had an interview with the members of the city council last evening, when the affairs of the local, company, were talked over. Coming as it did upon the eve of thc voting upon the by-law authorizing the expenditure of .fl.50,000 for tlie installation of a power plant on Kootenay river, it is unfortunate that The Tribune is not in a position to give a toil r.ccount of thc interview. .A representative was present at': the meeting, but he was informed that the desire was merely to have a talk over matters witli the tramway people, and that a report of the proceedings was not contemplated; Had the interview been of an ordinary nature it would have been .passed over without further notice, but from information gleaned from those in attendance it appears that thc interview was a most extraordinary one, in that it brought to light thc fact that thero is and lias been no Feai clashing of interests between tlie city and tho ��� tramway company; that there is nothing to pre- k vent tlie tramway company from selling ����������� electric power to the city, but on the contrary that it is .willing and anxious to dispose of power; and that the installation of a city pi.-.nt on Kootenay river would be welcomed by the tramway company rather than be regarded as a death warrant. lt is because The Tribune believes the information given by Mr. Drummond, is important, and that it should ��� be as widely disseminated as possible in" view of thc voting on the by-laws today, that it endeavors ,to give "the'" gist of Mr.- Drummond's remarks. They may not be complete, but they are as complete as the opportunity for securing the information would permit. The one thing which struck most of Mr.! Drummond's: auditors was that there has been considerable misplaced sympathy on tap in Nelson for the tramway company. He did not attend the meeting of the city council to make a poor mouth. He did notiintimatethat tlie action of tlie ratepayers of the city In refusing to accept the jug-handled power contract with the !West Kootenay Power & Light Company should be punished by the closing down of, the tramway, nor did he intimate that today the employees of the tramway company would be out in force working in the interests of the West Kootenay Power & Light Company, as they.were when the power contract by-law was submitted to the ratepayers. Shutting down t.he tramway is apparently one of the hist things Mr. Drummond has thought of. He intimated to tho members of the council that the ^T3ritish-Electric"Tra"ction-Co"mpany~h"ar<P tramways in operation in all parts of t.he globe, and that its investments in such amounted to something like $30,- 000,000. This being so, he intimated that it would not be very good business for so large a company to shut down and admit its failure and the loss of the $1.75,000 that had boen embarked in the venture. He admitted that there had been some disappointment in connection with the -tramway venture. The city, for one thing, had not made the progress that was expected of it. He did not wish to create the impression that Nelson was standing still. Such waa far from being the case, as he had noted very marked improvement in the city since his former visits. But there had not been the growth that was.expected, and consequently the business of the tramway company was not what it had been anticipated. He was of the opinion that if a better understanding was arrived at tlie tramway and the city could be of mutual assistance. He did not wish it to be understood that the tramway eompany was wedded to the -West Kootenay Power & Light Company. If it was wedded to anything it was wedded to the City of Nelson. One way in which the tramway company and the ci.ty could be of mutual advantage to each 'oti.vji' was l'or the city to purchase from the tramway company the surplus power which it did not use, but which it was obliged to pay for to the West Kootenay Power fe Light Company. This suggestion pretty nearly floored a number of the aldermen who remembered the ^statement of the local oflicers cf the company that it was not at lib' erty to sell any power to thecity. Their incredulity was soon overcome, however, as Mr. Drummond stated that it was he who had made the bargain with the West Kootenay Power & "Light Company; that he had the power to sell power to the city under it; and that he was prepared to exercise that power and sell the city such electrical energy as it might need up to 1.00 horse-power if the city wanted it. To say the aldermen were surprised with the turn matters have takeii as between the West Kootenay Power & Light Company, the tramway company, f^and the city, is putting it mildly. It is understood that Mr. Drummond will make the city an offer to sell power which will be laid before the council at its next regular meeting on Monday evening. As intimate in the course of his interview, the offer will be to sell the city just such power as it may need up to 100 horse-power at a rate as favorable as the best rate quoted by the West Kootenay Power & Light Company, that is, $3.75 per horse-power por month. If this is clone, the West Kootenay Power & Light Company will speedily cease to be a factor in the municipal politics of Nelson. Insist on Bein-? *Oann<iians. TORONTO, December 19.���An exciting incident took place tonight, at a dinner given by Canadian manufacturers. Wilburn Robins of Walkerville, Ontario, delivered an address on imperialism, and referring to French Canadians objecting to their being called French said there were no English Canadians and why French? They were all Canadians. He appealed to French Canadians to drop the word "French." Mr. Roland of Montreal replied and said the French flag whenever shown was always enlivened with the Union Jack. The last gun fired for British connection would be by French Canadians. He was loudly cheered. ��� ��� eastern'mnadian NEWS BYLAW NO. 102 And a Rise in Real Estate Values Will Follow.

More: There are few people in Nelson, if the city! had its own power plant on Kootenay river, who would not be in favor of "selling the street railway, company power at a merely nominal sum per. year.

If By-law No. 102 is carried today, it will be published in every paper in Canada and in many papers in the United States within a month. The announcement that Nelson has voted $150,000 to be spent in the' erection of an up-to-date power plant will show outside people that the people of Nelson have confidence in their-, town and in the country on which the town depends. Confidence begets confidence. The voting of $150,000 to erect a power plant on Kootenay river is notice to the provincial government that the city's application for land suitable for a power station is bona fide. Defeat the $150,000 by-law, and it is an intimation to the provincial government that the people j of Nelson are mere windy triflers; that they want to get hold of something that they do not want to use. The people of Nelson voted $15,000 in debentures in 1899 that were not sold. They again voted $76,000 in 1900 that were not sold. This makes a total of $91,000 of debentures that were authorized but which were not sold. Did the authorization of these issues of debentures impair the credit of Nelson? No! And no one knows it better than mayor Fletcher. What Some Canadians Propose.

LONDON, December 19.���Sir Thomas Lipton, in the long interview which he had with king Edward yesterday at which the America's cup races were discussed, unfolded his plans for the future. His majesty exhibited the keenest interest in them and at times offered suggestions. He expressed the opinion that it would be very hard to get a boat to beat the Americans, to which sir Thomas replied that ho Avas at least confident he could secure a yacht a good deal better .than the Shamrock II. When sir Thomas had finished explaining his reasons for this belief, the king appeared to be satisfied and heartily wished him success. Sir Thomas Lipton also conveyed to king Edward a recapitulation of president Roosevelt's friendly comments on the king and on England, which formed the gist of a conversation between sir Thomas and Mr. Roosevelt, while the former was in the United States. The king' was evidently much pleased. In turn he told sir Thomas how greatly he admired president Roosevelt's personality, which, unfortunately, he only knew by hearsay. The king takes great interest in the preparations for bu'.lding another challenger for the cup Avhich are believed to be already on foot. positively declined to run for the mayoralty chair.

Thinks Them Scarcely Human. WASHINGTON, December 19.���"History affords no parallel of a whole people'thus practically ���'turning ��� war traitors, and in tho genius of no other people was- ever found such masterful powers of secrecy and dissimulation, but, it is needless lo say that no powerful state was ever erected or ever can be erected on such Immoral or unenlightened foundations.'' This slaie- ment is made by general Chaffee, .military governor of the Philippines, in review cf a number of conrtmartlals in the Island--, the records of which have been received Ml the war department. The case which hi ought forth Uns comment was one in whicli seven natives were tried jointly on u charge of inurd ;r. The accused were soldiers in the Insurgent army and alter defeat hy the Amorioa-i army lu the Held, abandoned even Ih-.' show of open opposition and look up tholr residences at I'ay- tay, a placo prolecled by nn American gat- rison. Then, following Ihe proclaimed policy of llio Insurgjiil chiefs, they proceeded to ���ng.inl/.c seereilv ,i lulu band. When .-iiilliorizatioii had boen given to vs- lahllsh civil govjriuneiil the band came forward under the leadership of a resl- ueni padre and were elected municipal olll- cors of Taylay. Then ensued a remarkable attempt to serve two masters. In all lawful mutters they served with due appeai- ancc lo the American government, while at the same lime I hey labored secroUy lu ihe interest** of the insurgents. This dual form of government, says general Chaffee existed everywhere in strongly garrisoned cities like Manila, as well as the .smallest cities. The municiiJ.il officers of Ta.\ lay next ontered upon a sesies-of murders and continued thei;' work until the number of- mysteriou.s disappearances led to I lie discovery of the perpetrators by the American aulhoiitles. '-One undeniable truth," says general Charfee, "stands out in this case as in hundreds of like cases of murder, that the average native of these islands has not iliore than the merest rudimentary concopti-in of his Individual rights and duties as a man, and no ono knows this a.s well as the chiefs who use him for their nefarioii-i purposes." Six ul' tli-j seven natives were .sentenced lo be hanged, but general Chaffee commuted the sentence of three of them lo imprisonment at hard labor for life. The seventh nati/e, Leonardo De Posey, a regular ordained priest, asked for and was granted a separate irial. At his trial De Posey, who was held to be'tlie chief ag*int in lhe Taytay murddrs, took advantage of tiio loophole whicli appeared to be afforded by his iiosltlia as priest by contending that while the participators in the wholesale nuii'dors in Taytay would confess the same at confessional he was compelled by his .sacred olllco to keep silence. General Chaffee pronounced this defense of no value, saying, lhat "tlie confessional does nol lay up >n any man, priest or layman, the obligal'on of suppressing knowledge of crimes belig committed by third parties.'' General Ch.ift'c conllrmed the sentence of death impDsed by the court mar- tlal whicli tried De Pos-.*iy, but commuted the sentence to LO years' Imprisonment at NKW YORK, December in.���The sale*of- a -slock exchange seat for f":i,000 is reported to have Ijien made jcsteidav This Is the highest ni ,<_e on record, the last Iwo sales having been .{71,000.

SALINAS, California, December 19.��� The northern bound Sunset express No. 9 of tho Southern Pacinc, due to arrive cat San Ardo at 12:50 a. ni., and the Sunset express No. JO, from San Francisco, due to leave San Ardo at the same time, were in collision this morning. The trains are scheduled to pass at Uplands, a few miles south of San Ardo. Tho southbound train left Salinas seven minutes late and through some error met the northbound train head on, one- half mile west of Uplands, between San * Ardo and San Lucas, rioth trains were completely wrecked, the engines being thrown from tlyj tracks and several'of. tiie cars telescoped. Train No. 9 was", partly destroyed by fire. It is reported" that ten or twelve persons were killed-' and fifty injured. The southbound train* was crowded with passengers, every' seat being taken and some persons be- - ing obliged to stand, 'unong these on the train -wer.e SO discharged soldiers on their way east, and ....���= All-American. - base ball team from the" east on their way to Los Angeles. The track is completely blocked aud no trains can pass the wreckage today. The Sunset-limited and two freight trains, are being - held at Bradley. The train dispatcher at San Luis- Obispo said the cause of the accidents was due to t.he failure of the north- -" bound train to stop at Uplands to allow;,. the other train to pass. A special train with doctors on board has been sent from here to the scene of the accident., The baggage "and chair cars of the north- - bound train are said to have burned. .'- SAN FRANCISCO, December 19.���--'���' News of tbo collision between Southern k Pacific tiains at Uplands on the coast road is very meager and conflicting. At - first it was reported that at least ten ~ people were killed and fifty injured. <A' passenger on one of the trains telephoned the Associated Press from San Louis that only three were killed, a fireman and baggageman and his helper, 'and that four Italian laborers were injured, none of them fatally. Later another passenger wired that there were three killed and 30 injured, many of them fatally. This dispatch is probably authentic. General manager Krutschnitt of the Southern Pacific Company was a passenger on the northbound train. Night Report. SAN ARDO, California, December 19. -Southern Pacific train No. 9 for San Francisco, and No. 10 southbound, collided between here and Uplands about 1:30 o'clock this morning. The trains were to meet at Uplands, but it is'claimed the air brake on No. 10 would not hold and it crashed into No. 9 before ^tlioJattei^train^could-be-stopped^smash- ing both engines, two baggage cars and one mail car into kihdling wood. The cars took fire immediately and were destroyed. Some mail and express packages wero burned. The killed are: Fireman Will Garland, San Francisco, jumped and was caught under the engine; assistant express messenger, name unknown. Four Italians, two brakemen, a fireman and engineer Jack Coffey were injured. Several passengers were slightly injured in tho chair car and smoking cars. Considerable caslt was shipped on the Wclls-Fargo cur. A safe containing tho bullion is still in tho flames.' The loss to the railway company is said to bo about $10,000. rSJiffiS' '���&!��$ "KM Fatal Gas Explosion. PITTSBURG, December 19.���Ten men wore burned to death and four injured by an explosion of gas at tho Soho furnace of Jones & Liiughlin, Limited, Second avenue, near Hrady street, today. The explosion was caused by a slip iu the furnace, the gas and ilames blazing upward through the bell. Tho men were on the furnace platform S5 feet abovo thc ground. There wero 19 when the explosion occurred, and 15 of them were caught in the flames. Two of them escaped with slight injuries. The other four were the regular men employed as top fillers and escaped without, injury. Tbe explosion was caused by the gas becoming encased in a crust of cinder forming at the bottom of the furnace. A wheelbarrow containing ore had been sent up to the men and when they went to dump it into the bell of the furnace they pushed it over too far and it rolled into the hopper. The barrow weighed 000 pounds and was too heavy for tho four men to raise. The fifteen laborers were then sent up to assist them. Had it not been for the barrow accident, no one would have been hurt, as the regular men knew how to protect themselves at such times, as similar explosions are of frequent occurrence. When the ox- plosion occurred burning heaps of cinders settled around the men almost knee deep. Their shrieks were terrible in their frantic efforts to save themselves.

The genial alderman from the West ward was not supposed to know anything at all about electricity except what he was told by his friend, mayor Fletcher, but ho was said to be exceedingly well posted on isolation hospitals. However, there arc nothing but surprises in this world, and one of the surprises is that alderman Selous is really an expert electrician and not an expert on questions that pertain to the erection and operation of isolation hospitals. One of.the arguments that was used by mayor Fletcher and alderman Selous when the late-lamented by-law was be- =fore=the=people"^or^c^nsideWti��irrwas= that.if the by-law was defeated the. street cars would stop running. The bylaw was defeated. The street cars did not stop running. Is it not strange that this prediction of mayor Fletcher and alderman Selous did not come to pass? These two worthy officials are still in the business of predicting. One predicts that the city could not sell $150,- 000 in debentures and thc other predicts that if the debentures oould be sold city engineer McCulloch could not build the power plant for tho amount he estimates it would cost. The people are getting a trifle tired of people who are unwilling to tlo anything but make "blue ruin" predictions. They want men in oflice who will do things. The interference of corporations in municipal elections have a tendency to degrade and corrupt the electorate. The West Kootenay Power & Light Company, Limited, of Rossland has not a .dollar.invested in Nelson; it has boycotted our merchants, because they were unwilling to do its bidding. It is not seeking an eatrance into Nelson for ���.any,love it has for our-people. *It is 'seeking an entrance because its man- agfement knows that there is money to be made in supplying power and light in a permanent and progressive town. If there is money to be made in that, way for the West Kootenay Power & Light Company, it is hot unreasonable to believe that there is money in it for the City of Nelson, seeing that the city in also in the business of selling power and light. Money made by the West Kootenay Power & Light Company goes into the pockets of the few shareholders of the company, none of whom reside in Nelson.- Money made by the City of Nelson .wes into the pockets of the people who live in Nelson. with much attention. The railway projects, especially, aro receiving careful study here, as it is generally believed that oh their success will depend the future of Russia in her inevitable struggle for the mastery of Asia. The Kreuz Zietung draws attention this morning to the projected railway from Tashkent to Orenburg, the flrst sod of which has just been turned. Judging by the ceremony of turning the first sod, at which the entire garrison of Tashkent was present, with th'e minister of war and numerous generals, the railway when* finished will serve iri the first instance" for military purposes. Russia will then possess- uninterrupted railway communication' between her military centers in Europe and the Afghan and Persian frontiers.' At the present time any attempt to increase the body of- her troops in Central Asia is attended with the greatest difficulty, owing to the fact that they must be transported across the Caspian, and that means transport wholly inadequate for an emergency. With railway communication 'direct from Russia to Tashkent, it will be* a comparatively easy "matter to throw huge bodies of troops, say on to Kushk. Troops will be able to proceed from Moscow to Kushk without the necessity of ��� changing carriages, and generals operating there'could reckon on regular enforcements. Not only will the railway serve an important strategic purpose, it will be also important commercially. Kirghiz Steppe, oh which the railway "enters after leaving Orenburg, swarms with cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. Gold and silver are also said to exist there, and, more important, than all, thc coalfields aro of considerable value. Russia; with her latest railway plans, will bring her Asiatic possessions nearer, strengthen-her political power in Asia, open up new markets for her industry, and make sensible progress against England in thc struggle for supremacy in Asia. The Kreuz Zeitung is curious to know whatJBngland^in- "tends to do as a. cpunterstroke. * Effects of the Wyoming Storm. CHEYENNE, Wyoming, Decembor 19. The Union Pacific, the Colorado & Southern (north) and the Burlington (eastward) are practically at a standstill as a result of the present storm in Wyoming and Nebraska. AU trains on the'Union Pacific are compelled to spend hours in snowdrifts waiting,for the rotary plow to make openings so they can pass through, and to make matters worse a Union Pacific rotary plow puslicd-by two big compound engines slashed its way to rear of train for Sherman. Thc wreckage caught lire and a caboose and nine tourist cars were completely destroyed. The work of clearing the track is slow and tho blockade may last for an indefinite period. On the Colorado & Southern, 21 miles north of Cheyenne, a passenger train was derailed. The accident, has completely tied up trafiic on that branch. No trains have come in over the Burlington branch from Hol- derbridge for two days. A drift derailed an engine about 100 miles east of Cheyenne and the wreckers have not yet succeeded in getting it back upon the rails. In addition the branch is now snowbound for a stretch of more than 50 miles. from American residents here. He represented himself as a Cincinnatian, as a former employee ot senator Foraker and as a friend of John McLain, clerk of the Republican national committee, and said, he was here for his health.

This brings the price for lake copper from 13 cents for elec- troylite to 12 7-8 cents, and for castings to 12 1-2 cents. The reduction from the price long held by the Amalgamated Copper Com puny is thus about four cents on all grades.

In the course ol" the debate today the Democrats were several limes Intuited with their failure to present an alternative proposition for the pending: measuio, but just before the vote was taken on tho passage of the bill, the attitude of the minority was defined in a motion to recommit, offered by Mr. Richardson, the minority leader. The proposition did not command a Republican vote and three Louisiana Democrats voted against it. The bill passed today imposes the Ding- lev rate on goods entering the Philippines from tho United Slates, lt also provides for tho collection of tonnage taxes on vessels plying between the United States and thc Philippines and that foreign vessels may ply betwen these ports until January 1st, 1903. .The dtitloK and taxes collected under the provisions of the bill shall go into the SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed ou doposits.

II is declared by the commission that outside of live provinces there is peace in the Philippines. Taking up the question of the political future of thc Philippines, it is. declared lhat the theory on which the commission is proceeding is that the only possible method uf instructing the Philippine people in methods of free institutions and self government is to make a government partly of Americans and partly of Pili- plnos, with ultimate control in American hands, for some time to come. Less than 10 per cent,of the people speak Spanish and the educated people under the influence of Si).ini.-:h teaching have but a faint conception" of civil liberty and the mutual selC- lestrnint required for its maintenance. The commission have already, however, established municipal suffrage in the pacified parts of the islands and have limited the suffrage lo those who can read and write Hnglish or Spanish or who own property of the Miluc of *$230 or have been municipal oflicers.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1901-12-20 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
