LONDON, January 9.���The stinging rebuke administered to Mr. Chamberlain, the British colonial secretary, by chancellor Von Buelow, in the reichstag at Berlin yesterday, as a result of the former's reference in his speech at Edinburgh, October 25th, last, to the con-, duct of the German army In the war with France, 1870-71, has markedly increased the bitterness of l_nglish-G.r- man discord. The St. James Gazette, which calls count Von Buelow a "swaggering pharisee," says "His offensive speech has brought the growing irritation between the two countries into a dangerous sphere. Even if Von Buelow had been the head of a Republican ministry, dependent for its life on a fickle popular opinion, there would have been little excuse for his gross perversion of facts and breach of international comity." The St James Gazette concludes with expressing the belief that the "Pharisaical impertinence of the German press is profoundly distasteful to the kaiser, who is manfully striving to stem the torrent, which is bearing his empire toward the Niagara of disaster," and warns Germany that, both eastward and westward of her there is a menace which holds her armed to the teeth in sleepless vigilance, and when the expected catastrophe, in southeastern Europe, leaves her alone, between the upper and nether millstone, she may bitterly regret loss of the good will of this country, which she is now flinging away with both hands. Von Buelow's words cannot fail to be hailed throughout Europe as "a snub to Great Britain," says the Pall Mall Gazette in an editorial headed the "Retort Discourteous." The Globe accuses Von Buelow of "deliberately pandering to the lowest and most illinformed elements of public opinion in Germany." The Globe then lectures emperor William for not "checking the stream of foul lies and obscene caricatures in the German press." The Westminster Gazette alone depreciates regarding Von Buelow's speech as "a cause for further disturbing the relations between Great Britain and Germany." -���Such~comments_as these_JiuotejLabo^ are bound to further inflame the public, already angered, in consequence of the snub administered by emperor William a few days ago in the North German Gazette, the chief mouthpiece of the German government, in which a note appeared saying that the statement in the English press to the effect that the German emperor had pressed the prince of Wales to attend* his toirthJay celebration, was untrue, and explaining that, "king Edward had suggested the visit and that emperor William had sent an invitation." In the reichstag yesterday, after cou.it Von Selberg Wernigerode had denounced recent references of the British colonial secretary to the German army, count Von Buelow made a speech. He said: "The last speaker alluded to a reference an English minister recently made to the German army's conduct in the Franco-German war. Should ���e, however, wish to adduce examples from abroad, it is advisable that he should proceed with caution, as otherwise he may incur the risk of not only being misunderstood, but also of hurting foreign feelings, even though, as I am ready to assume, there was in tlie case of the present instance, no intention of so doing. It is quite comprehensible that a people which has become so thoroughly a part and parcel of its glorious army as in Germany, should revolt at any appearance on the history of our glorious struggle for national unity being misrepresented. Such a critic, in the words of Frederick the Great, concerning traducers of hims-if and the German army, is 'simply biting on granite.' " Irish Land Leaguers. DUBLIN, January 9.���John Redmond, chairman of the United Irish League, announced today that William Redmond and Joseph Devlin of Belfast, will sail for the United States at the end of the month, to complete the work of organizing the league in America, in accordance with a decision arrived at by the preliminary meeting held in its headpuarters yesterday. Mr. Redmond and Devlin are going to the United States at the urgent request of the Irish league of America, which Is arranging their tour of that country. Body Snatching KINGSTON, Ontario, January 9.���Thieves last night broke into a vault in St. Mary's cemetery. Division street, and stole the remains of Mrs. Hughes, Miss Haley und Miss Mary Croliey, of Kingston. VICTORIA, January 9.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The legislative assembly has been called3 to meet on February 20th, which is one day earlier than last year. The result of the municipal election in Vancouver is said to have some significance, as the defeated candidate for mayor was supported by J. F. Garden, M.P.P., and captain Tatlow, M.P.P., both of whom are opposing the Dunsmuir government. The successful candidate was supported by the News-Advertiser, which is edited by ex-finance minister Cotton, and it is intimated that Cotton may be asked to join the Dunsmuir government as finance minister. EVERYBODY IS GUESSING At the Political Situation. VICTORIA, January 9.���The political atmosphere was somewhat disturbed by the visit early in theweek of five of the disaffected and .erstwhile supporters sjf the government. They came to Victoria to take part in a conference, but by whom suggested, or with whom they conferred a mysterious silence, is being preserved. Rumors of all kinds are plentiful, but the net result was the calling of a convention at New Westminster, in which they expect every member of the provincial legislature who is not in accord with the Dunsmuir administration to take part. If the man on the street is to be believed, the calling of another New Westminster convention was necessitated by the fact that seven into five will not go, and there are only five cabinet positioas available, and as Island members who conferred with the Malnlanders were too modest to forego their own claims \o recognition, somewhat of a deadlock looked possible. It is understood that Mr. Bodwell received the situation by suggesting that he would prefer to choose his own cabinet, and that in any event it would be very unwise to leave no position-open with which to reward some waverer whose support might oe needed. In one way their visit might strengthen the government immensely. Each and every one of them gave a certain influential politician to understand that they would not consider those against them who were not openly with them, and that though they might be willing to accept his assistance as a follower, in no other capacity could he serve them. As it is understood that he expressed his willingness to lead them, should they succeed in overthrowing the government, and 3S it is well known that he has most discreetly refrained on every occasion from hurting the feelings of his erring brethren, such base ingratitude came to him as an overwhelming shock, and another most strenuous orator will be in evidence on the government side in the forthcoming campaign. But, singular to relate, Mr. Bodwell's declaration of leadership did not receive that warm reception from his chosen future associates, which the "little Lib- eral_-clique_fondly^exp.ec_teA_^he_Coa-v servative members of the opposition received a pretty plain intimation from the local Conservative leaders that the recognition of Mr. Bodwell's -laims would be answered by their party repudiating any connection therewith. As prominent Conservatives pointed out, Mr. Bodwell is virtually discredited with his own party, and for a few provincial Conservatives to take it upon themselves to hand over to Mr. Bodwell the destinies and welfare, and, incidentally the patronage of Conservatism in this province, in order that he might therewith regain for himself and his insignificant following the prestige which they once enjoyed in the Liberal ranks, was altogether too much of a good thing. E. G. Prior and the majority of prominent and influential Conservatives look upon Mr. Bodwell's candiaature with very mixed feelings. Mr. Bodwell brought every influence to bear to _ecure their support, but with little success. These few, who in the flr_t instance agreed to support him, are beginning to realize that they have possibly made a mistake in pledging their support to a gentleman who has shown such a facility in the past for supporting his own party actively, only when he wished to use it, and they are becoming lukewarm in their enthusiasm. But Mr. Bowell's Liberal supporters are becoming more apprehensive than even his Conservative friends. So bitter is the feeling engendered by his candidature amongst the Liberals of this city, that the "little Liberals," seeing themselves in a hopeless minority in their support of him, are beginning to fear that the efforts they are making on his behalf will be punished by the party with political oblivion. The Liberal executive met on Thursday evening to take action in regard to the Vancouver convention. Most of the "little Liberals" are members of this executive, and one of them attempted, in the inter ests of Mr. Bodwell, to question the advisability of having a convention at all, claiming that he saw in it, or behind it the Machiavellian hand of Joseph Martin. Had not a very staunch and respected Liberal quieted matters by having it referred to a general meeting of the association, to be held on the 13th of this month, the meeting would have ended in a row. This is not comforting to Mr. Bodwell's supporters. Hoping against hope, they have been deluding themselves with the idea that he would be endorsed by the Liberals of the province. When those do not oppose him ignore him. The growing weakness of Mr. Bodwell, however, will not excuse the government from strengthening their policy and their administration, and if they wish to retain public confidence, the premier must infuse new blood into his cabinet. This is demanded by his supporters in the house and country alike. They feel that a vigorous and progressive policy is necessary to the province in the present juncture, and with able advisers at his back, the people realize that no man is more able to give it than James Dunsmuir. THE EMPRESS IS RADICAL Exercising Her Censorship. PEKIN, January 9.���-The dowager empress of China asserted her complete supremacy today by giving an audience in the most sacred hall in the forbidden city. The rules of the dynasty forbid women to enter this hall and the dowager empress has never before violated its sanctity. The emperor will receive the foreign diplomats in this hall. Officials believe the dowager empress to be paving the way to be, present on this occasion in order to prevent any communication between diplomats and tlie emperor except under her censorship. The dowager empress is preparing to send letters to the ministers of the foreign powers here, expressing her desire for the maintenance of friendly relations and her unwillingness to receive advice in audience. Progressive Chinese officials explain that the dowager empress disapproved of Boxerism, that her wishes in this matter were overruled and her edicts gar.bled. It is possible that general Tung Fuh Siang, the notorious anti- foreigner, whose decapitation has been ordered by the dowager empress in an edict, has already been beheaded. The Tartar general in Kan Su province, who was ordered to carry out this sentence, has telegraphed that he has imprisoned Tung Fuh Siang in his yamen and asks for instructions. To this message the dowager empress replied, ordering the Tartar general to carry out her edict. =An^Advocate of-Protection.- MONTREAL January 9.���The Star's London cable says: "Sir Robert Giffen, ex-president of the statistical society, who has long been associated with the Gladstonian school of finance, significantly suggests in the Times today that income tax be reduced from 14d to lOd in pound, which would mean a loss of ��10,000,000 to the national exchequer, and that ��20,000,000 be raised by indirect taxation, including a tax of one shilling per quarter on wheat and one shilling per load on lumber." The Westminster Gazette, the pillar of free trade, says: "If we could be certain that this is not the thin edge of the protectionist wedge we might agree." The St. James Gazette (Tory and protectionist), says: "A grain tax, touching the central article of our commercial creed would raise opposition, which advantage thus gained would not make it worth while to provoke." The chancellor of the exchequer will, it adds, "regard sir Robert Giffen's agitation as an indication of the reserve to be drawn upon in case of necessity in addition to, instead of substitution for, present sources of revenue. Greenwood Local News. GREENWOOD, January 9.���[SpeciU to The Tribune.]���On Tuesday night deputy grand master, T. M. Gully, installed the officers of the Boundary Lodge of Oddfellows, Greenwood. Between seventy and eighty brethren were present. The installation was follow3d by a banquet and social gath3ring. The directors of the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling Company, owning a group of fourteen mineral claims :"n close proximity to Greenwood, adopted resolutions authorizing the London and Canada syndicate to accept the offer of an English comapny to take over the local company's, assets, on condition that the former provide a minimum capital of $100,000, to discharge the latter's liabilities and leave a large oalanco for development work, the local company to receive 50,000 paid up, 10 shilling shares. A special meeting of the shareholders is called for the 25th instant to confirm the directors action. Superintendent Downie of Nelson is in the city tonight. LIQUOR QUESTION BOTHERS The Premier of Manitoba. WINNIPEG, January 9.���Following the interview which appeared in this morning's Telegram, the provincial government's organ, with premier Roblin, regarding a referendum to the people on prohibition. Mr. Roblin was seen by a Telegram reporter yesterday, with reference to the various interviews that have appeared in the press relating to his announcement on the Liquor Act question. He said that his statement was evidently differently understood and differently interpreted by nearly every one. Some had apparently understood the meaning he had intended 1,o convey. Mr. Roblin was asked if he had seen the interview with Mr. Banting in the morning Telegram, and if he Svould say whether Mr. Banting was correct in his interpretation. "Yes," said Mr. Roblin, "I have read Mr. Banting's interview, and he is substantially correct." "But Mr. Banting believes ihat a referendum should and will be held." "That is what the government think, also, and in my interview, on Monday, I plainly led up to that conclusion, and I was so understood by many. Mr. Banting gives many sound reasons for this step." -���'''....' . Mr. Roblin's attention was called to his reference on Monday to the importance of action by Ontario. "I believe what I said of the importance of co-operation, and the action Ontario takes will have a great effect in facilitating, or otherwise, the operation of the act in Manitoba. If Ontario is going to take action, it would be in the best interests of all concerned for this to be known before anything is done in Manitoba." "But y'/J will not wait longer than this session to find out what Ontario intends to do." "Certainly not," answered Mr. Rod- lin. "The enforcement of the act will be submitted to the will of the people as soon as possible after the close of the session.- Provision will be made for this at the coming session of the legislature, but as I said before the government will not alter the act in any way." Piatt Drops His Libel Suit NEW YORK, January 9.���Friends of "United^State^^ announce that he has reconsidered and abandoned his determination to sue McClure's Magazine and William Allen White for libel. Piatt took exception to an article about himself written by White and published in last month's issue of McClure's. In a character study of the New York boss covering a dozen pages, Mr. White, a hard hitter in his most amiable moods, handled Piatt with the very thinnest gloves. Apparently stung this time beyond endurance, thn hitherto imperturbable Piatt at once cried out he had been grossly libeled and would seek redress in court. That was several weeks ago. It appears that Piatt has since been consulting friends here and in Pennsylvania, and it is hinted that largely upon the advice of the latter has he been induced to suspend legal hostilities. Russians Blame the Consul. ST. PETERSBURG, January 9. ���- Charlemagne Tower, United States ambassador to Russia, discussed the fights at New Chwang between sailors belonging to the United States gunboat Vicksburg and Russian soldiers at length today with count Lamsdorff, the Russian foreign minister. After this conference, Mr. Power said that no open questions remained in connection with this matter. Opinion here inclines to put the responsibility for all the trouble at New Chwang on the failure of the American consul there to try and punish the American sailors when the first instance of disorder occurred and is inclined to find fault with the administrators of New Chwang. Found Guilty of Murder. NEW YORK, January 9. ��� Henry Schaub, who last June killed his wife and infant daughter at Newark, New Jersey, was today found guilty of murder in the first degree. Schaub was crazed by drink when no murdered his wife and child. the derelict had been seen off there yesterday and Indians at San Juan told of going out to it.

PANAMA DEAL IS REJECTED WALLA WALLA OFFICERS AT FAULT- CAPTAIN BENOIST OP THE MAX GIVES HIS STATEMENT OF THE COLLISION. French Company Out of It. WASHINGTON, January 9. ��� The Hepburn Nicaraguan Canal Bill passed the house this afternoon by a practically unanimous vote, only two members out of 310 voting against it. The opposition, in committing the government to the Nicaraguan route, attempted to secure amendments to lodge with the president the discretionary power to purchase and complete the Panama canal if it could be purchased for $10,- 0000,000. The test came on the first vote when the advocates of an alternative route polled 102 against 170 votes. At each succeeding vote their strength dwindled until Mr, Cannon of Illinois, under whose leadership the fight was made, was unable to get the ayes and nays on a motion to recommit. All other amendments failed and the bill passed exactly as it came from committee. None of the votes, except that on the final passage of the bill, was a record vote. _ The debate, which preceded the taking of the final vote, was made memorable by a clash between Mr. Hepburn, the author of the bill and Mr. Cannon, chairman of the appropriations com- mitteer On 'several previous ���occasions������ they have measured swords over canal legislation. Two ��� years ago a similar bill was passed by a vote of 224 to 36. The bill as passed today, authorized the president to secure from the states of Costa Rica and'Nicaragua on behalf of the United States, control of such a portion of the territory belonging to said states as may be desiraDle and necessary on which to excavate, construct, and protect a canal suitable to the wants of modern navigation, and appropriates such a sum of money as may \)i necessary to secure the control of said territory. Section two authorizes the president, after securing control of the needed territory, to direct the secretary of war to construct such canal from the Caribbean sea at a point near Grey town, in Nicaragua, by way of lake Nicaragua, to a point on the Pacific ocean near Brito and also to construct proper harbors at the termini of said canal and to make necessary provision for the defence of the canal and narbors. Section three and four authorize the SAN FRANCISCO, January 9.-The official investigation into the cause of the collision between the steamer Walla Walla and tho French bark Max last Thursday was commenced today before the local inspectors. Captain Benolst of the Max submitted a written statement to the effect that at the lime of the accident his mate was on the watch. The lookout reported the lights of a steamer on the starboard bow. The mate thereupon notified him and he went upon deck and seeing the light of the steamer, he went into his cabin to dress. "While so engaged the collision occurred. The lights of his room were burning brightly. Immediately after the steam- ' er was struck he rushed on deck. As the forepart of his ship was filling rapidly he was to busy, in giving orders for the closing of the compartments to pay any attention to the other vessel. He ordered a torchlight, however, to let the steamer know where he was, but not seeing anything of the latter fifteen minutes after the accident he concluded that she had proceeded. Shipping Fatalities. VICTORIA, January 9.���The steamer Queen City from the west coast, reports that a large schooner is afloat off the Vancouver island coast upside down. The missionary at Cloose reported that president lonTake^suchn-un'eys-as^may be necessary and to employ such persons in constructing the canal as may to him seem wise, and directs that in the construction of the canal the river San Juan and lake Nicaragua shall be used as far as they are available. Section five authorizes the president to guarantee to the governments of Costa Rica and Nicaragua the uso of the canal and harbors upon terms to bo agreed upon by all vessels of said states and by citizens thereof. The last section makes a nrnsent appropriation of ?10,000,000 to carry on this work and authorizes the secretary of. war to enter into proper contracts for material and work as may be deemed necessary therefor, such work and material to be paid for as appropriations may be made from time to time. The section fixes the aggregate cost at $1 SO,000,000 to bo drawn from the treasury on warrants of the president.

Buying German Warships BERLIN, January 9.���The Klelnes Journal, .which sometimes prints exclusive news, publishes the following dispatch today from Hamburg: "Nicaragua is making extensive war preparations. She has purchased German warships and has bought cannon, rifles, and ammunition, amounting in value to 1,500,000 marks, through the Nicaraguan minister at Berlin, senor Roeha, a certain Hamburg bank loaning the money for the purchases. The object of these preparations is that Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador intend to attack Guatemala and Cost Rica and compel them to join the proposed Central American union. Senor Rocha is reported to have tried to induce the Prussian war ministry to supply Nicaragua with arms, which the ministry refused.to do." . Inquiries made here fail to confirm the statements contained in the dispatcih of the Klienes Journal. ...'.������ . : / COLON, Colombia, January fl.-Kxeneral Alban, the commander of the Colombian forces, has received news that president Zelaya of Nicaragua, has invited the other four presidents of Central America to attend a conference at Corinto.

Kloss, pastor of the First Congregational church at Webster Grove, has caused a sensation by suggesting in an Interview that women should propose marriage. There are nearly 300 members of the congregation, and last year there were only about a dozen marriages among the members. Dr. Kloss is disposed to blame the woman. He says they are too timid and that there is no reason why they should not do the proposing themselves. "The idea seems to always have been that women are dependent on the men," Dr. Kloss says. "There is no reason why this opinion should not be removed. Let them become men's economic equals, and then they can do the proposing themselves, instead ot waiting for the men to come along and ask them to become their wives. Right now women do not usually let men propose to them until they are ready, and there is no reason why they should not have and exer- icisenlie=same-right--of-proposing-as_men."= Will Build Large Refinery.

AMONG THE POLITICIANS. ���J- * tttt" NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS BY CARRIER. * + * * * * * * * On Saturday next, subscribers whose Tribunes are delivered _T carrier will be expected to pay the carrier TWENTY CENTS, the subscription price for the current weekl Nelson does not want men in oflice who are unable to satisfactorily explain sudden changes of front on questions of civic interest, no more than it does men Who are notoriously reactionary in their ideas. Men who are honestly in favor of municipal ownership of public utilities would not seek to entangle the city in a partnership with a corporation to carry on the business of electric lighting on a percentage basis. They would not do it at a lime when the corporation to be taken into partnership was doing its utmost to prevent the city acquiring rights and privilege-cmfwyp ioa o[ptrtg rights and property interests that would place it in an independent position. Vet this is exactly what Frank Fletcher has done. Elected mayor pledged to do hi. utmost to put the public utilities belonging to the city so that they wouid be independent of the West Kootenay Power & Light Company, he, before his term of ollice had expired, attempted to foist upon the people art agreement with the West Kootenay Power &. Light Company that was so manifestly unfair to the" city that it was repudiated by the people. Now his newspapsr mouthpiece says that it is absurd to charge him (Fletcher) with being anything else than a believer in the soundness of the principles of municipal ownership of public utilities. The people of Nelson care little for what Mr. Fletcher says he believes in; but they do care a whole lot about what iie practices. They want as mayor a man who will do what he says he will do. '. One of the Fletcher "push,*' who has an office near the corner of Baker and Ward streets, remarked yesterday: "That letter of captain McMorris's, published in The Tribune this morning, has hit our crowd hard. We never thought ho could write." "Bob" Winerals is slated for city clerk if the Fletcher crowd win the election. He was Nelson's first chief of police. It is admitted the Fletcher ticket is weak as compared with that of their opponents. Captain , McMorris is admitted to be as able a man as Haroid Selous, and "Tom" Scanlan is more than a match for John Hamilton or John Elliot In the East ward, "Dick" Drew and "Johnnie" Irving and "Chris" Morrison easily hold the "age" over John Paterson and W. G. Oillett and "Blake" Wilson. In the East ward, the Fletcher men say they have no show of electing any of their candidates, but they hope to be able=-to-trade-Paterson= and=Gillett-l"or- votes for Wilson. In the West ward they are "plumping" for Seljus, having no confidence in Hamilton or Elliot. A Front street wholesaler remarkcl: "No; I won't vote for you, or anyone else who is supported by Houston or The Tribune." ��� It seems the Fletch-r crowd are not satisfied to allow the school trustees to be elected by acclamation. It was understood that Dr. Hall and Dr. Arthur and Mr. Swannell would servo as trustees, and that two other citizens could be induced to offer themselves as sacrifices for the common good. This arrangement was not at all satisfactory to the Fletcher "push." They do not wait anyone on the schcol board who is not a supporter of candidate Fletcher. This is a narrow view to take of a question that should not be mixed up in ward Coal Mines Regulations. The amendments to the Coal Mines Regulation Act, passed at the last session of tlie legislature, are to come into force on the 15th instant. These amendments were enacted to provide additional protection to miners and others working in coal mines, and they provide that no person shall be employed as a coal miner, fire boss, over-man, or shot lighter in any coal mine who is not in possession of a certificate of competency, granted by a board of five examiners, which board shall be composed (at each mine) of the following: One appointed by the lieut.enant-governor-in-council, two appointed by the owner or manager of the mine, and. two coal miners, actually working in the mine who shall have had at least three years' experience as working miners, and be elected as members of the board by the miners actually working in the mine. It is further provided that in order to obtain a certificate the applicant must satisfy the examiners that he is sufficiently conversant with the English language, and with the acts relating to coal mining and the rules and regulations, to render his employment safe. If a shot lighter, fire-boss or overman that he has a good knowledge of the character and use of explosives and is fully competent to perform his duties. Before subjecting the men to the examination necessary lo the obtaining of certificates it was deemed advisable to hold a conference of mining inspectors and mine managers to settle the form of rules and regulations governing ��xamination, for although a majority of the applicants would be found able to undergo written examinations, some miners, in every other way capable, are unable to write the answers to the questions and must therefore be examined orally. For the purpose of settling these matters definitely invitations lo a conference were sent out by the government to the coal mine inspectors and managers, and in response a number of these gentlemen arrived in Victoria yesterday arid met premier Dunsmuir. Hon. D. M. Eberts, acting minister of mines, and W. T. Robertson, provincial mineralogist. Among the inspectors and managers present Avere: Thomas Morgan, Nanaimo, inspector; F. D. Little, superintendent Wellington Colliery Company; Thomas Stockatt, general manager of the Crow's Nest Coal Company, Fernie, and Thomas Russell, manager New Vancouver Coal Company, Nanaimo. The mining men found that the rules and regulations drafted by the government fairly covered the ground und beyond a few very trifling suggestions no changes were deemed necessary. As one of them said last night, the government and the officials of the department of mines had evidently worked with a desire to carry out the spirit as well as the form of the law, and had succeeded admirably. Yesterday's conference will result in the immediate distribution of copies of the rules and regulations to the various coal mines, and the appointment of the nao- essary boards of examiners to whom the details of the examinations will l>e entrusted. The Trust Not Dead. When president Schwab of the Steel "Consolidation" declarer! that the trust HP longer exists as a business proposition, and that it (lied because it ,,was founded upon evil principles, among them being the throttling of competition, he must have overlooked the Standard Oil Company. That benevolent consolidation or capital is working right along on the original line of the trust, restricting production, controlling prices and throttling competition wherever it can. In the village of Chardon, Ohio, Mr. Rockefeller's hundred-million-dollar corporation is engaged in a strenuous effort to ruin a poor oil peddler, who refuses to buy his stock from Mr. Rockefeller. The peddler pays a license fee and has a legal as well as a moral right to earn his living by selling oil, Mr. Rockefeller denies the right of anyone to earn a living by selling other than Standard oil, and besides, Mr. Rockefeller needs the money paid by the citizens of Chardon village for kerosene. Therefore the Standard Oil Company orders its Chardon agent to throttle competition and drive peddler Hossler out of business if it takes eight years arid costs more than all the oil he sells ?s worth. In the course of the fight it develops that the Standard Oil Trust has no legal right to do business in Chardo'i, and Is violating the law by peddling without a license, and its agent is arrested. These are the tactics and the ways of the trust���the methods which have made Standard Oil detested wherever its name is known. Much of the popular hatred of trusts in the abstract is due to the nefarious practices of the Standard Oil Trust, and while that Incorporated appetite for other people's wealth exists and thrives by throttling competition, Mr. Schwab will fail to persuade the people that the trust is a "dead proposition."���Philadelphia North American.

IT WILL HIT THE TRUSTS \ One Effect of the Canal. ���The"London "Guardian," a noted English wisekly'- o�� long established reputation, writes in a recent issue thus: "What will be the effect of the opening of a trans-Isthmian canal on the commerce of the world in general and, more especially, on the .ommorlcial position ot Canada and the United States? This Is a question worth ���asking, but not easily answered. That the eastern states will prolit by a short cut to the Philippines and the Chinese ports Is suftlciently obvious, and it would soein to follow that sooner or later they must obtain the lion's share of the trade with the Far East. Canada, though her transcontinental railway will lose muuh��of its Importance as a connecting link between \Vesi ���ind East, will certainly gain something: the factories of Ontario und the furnaces ot Sydney���destined manifestly to become a Plttsburg-by-the-sea���should lind a murket for their product on the further shores of the Pacltlc. As yet the cities of the termini of the Canadian Pacllic railway and the Iron trails that traverse the breadth of the 'United Slates are afraid'that much of the trade which they now enjoy and all, or nearly all, of that which they hoped to gain in the future, will be lost to the new Cor- inths of the Isthmus. San Francisco has already entered a formal protest against the opening of a direct route to the'Uri.nt, and, but for the fact that Seattle and Victoria now share between them the lucrative AJaskan trade which was onoe monopillzed by the capital of the Pacific .slope, they, too, would have prophesied evil to themselves. The same fearlessness, long since proved baseless, caused the construction of the Suez canal to opposed in this country. Even if the cities on 'the Coast���a term applied lo the seaboard from Alaska to Mexl- ��� co by all classes of Pacific adventurers- lose something at the outset, this direct -and immediate loss will be insignificant compared with the gain which must eventually follow the shortening of the sea .journey from the ivorts on either side of the Atlantic, and the consequent disintegration of tha graat railway monopolies of the United States. The American railway ���corporation���the retiarius of the trusts��� . has long held the west in a triple woven net, and the construction of the inter- ��� ocean canal���president Roosevelt's best ��� weapon against those trust makers, who .- tire also landlords���will bring about a vast ' increase in the prosperity of the fruit growers of the Pacific states and of the farmers throughout the American Northwest." Such tho confused and confusing rhap- : sody in which a usually well informed and . as a rule eminently cautious English weekly Indulges in regard to the supposed gen- ��� oral benellts to be conferred on Canada and the United States by the opening ot the ; Nicaragua canal.- In the course of this the ' "Guardian" unwittingly exaggerates alto- : gether the" main position, whilst ignoring the significance to this and the neighboring coast and seaboard of the facts of the : greater nearness of British Columbian and Washington state ports to central points ��� in the Orient than any points to be served by tho canal, and is also unaware that our ��� recognition of the vast inherent productivity of this Pacific seaboard and its tributary territory enables us to look with the utmost complacency, so far as our future material interests are concerned, ��� upon any scheme of trans-Isthmian can- : alizatlon. The reference of the sharing between "Vlc- 'toria and Seattle of the "lucrative Alas- ��� kan trade," meanwhile affords a curious ' Instance of the half knowledge of the case. possessed by the "Guardian" writer, as he " is evidently unaware that the best of the Northern trade of Pacific America is not now with Alaska, but with the Yukon, ��� as also we of Vancouver share In lt to a Tstcadily^lncreaslii'g-=exten|t-^vlth_ii__Seat.tJel : and Victoria.

The Northwestern farm- ��� cr, who'ls usually already separated from Ihe seaboard by long railroad hauls, will ��� not find his access to his best market? ��� cheapened to any material extent by th' Nicaragua canal and its competition, and the same remarks apply to the Pacific ��� Coast fruit grower. The latter will find ' his best markets near at hand at home ���and ln tho Northwest country, rather than In any distant region to be served hy the canal when, probably at leaBt ton years hence, when It begins Its work.���News Ad- vetlscr. ��� Christmas in the Hospital. Wo were strangely quiet that Christmas ' Eve In Ward B, Cape Town hospital two .years ago.. The young Englishman In tho northeast corner who had been grumbling -ull week at the "beastly nuisance of being penned up while all the other fellows were right In "the show," forgot the pain of the .hole made by tho Mauser bullet through the calf, of his leg. The old major, two ��� cots away, didn't swear al things in gen- ��� eral, as had been his wont. The almost convalescent lancer who had battled with en- steric and won stilled his clamoring for .something more to eat, and lay quietly humming some old English love song.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 9.���Jacob Miller, a capitalist of Seattle, who was on the Walla Walla with his wife, lays the blame unequivocally upon the officers of the steamer. He says that lie was on the deck a moment after the crash and then he saw the lights of the hark burning brightly. The night was so clear, he declares, that cvea if the Max had had no lights she could have been seen 1000 .feet away with the naked eye. Miller also makes the sensational charge of drunkness on board the Wal?.a Walla. J. W. Ettershank, the quartermaster, who was at the wheel of the Walla Walla when the Max crashed into her on the port side, saw the bark approaching, but shifts all responsibility for the disaster to the two officers he says were on the bridge���second officer Lupp and third, officer Hughes. "I have made my statement to the inspectors of hulls and boilers," said Bttershanks, "signed my name to it and swore to iv.s truth. It will surprise everybody, even the officials of the steamship company. All sorts of stories have besn published about the wreck, but they are all wrong. My statement is right. I was in the wheelhouse when the bark rammed her prow into us. "On the bridge were second officer Lupp and third officer Hughes. Johnson was station man, Wilson deck watchman. It was a clear night and we were casting north northwest at good speed. I saw the lights of the bark and knew that she was approaching us. All of us���Lupp, Hughes, Johnson and myself���knew that the bark was coming. I did not receive any orders, however, until half a minute before the collision. Johnson and the second officer yelled down to me: 'Hard aport' I worked the wheel for dear life, but the best I could do did not save us. The bark pushed her nose into us and I knew it was the last of the Walla Walla. "It was a bad ending to a merry new year on board, and I guess next time some of us will not celebrate half so much.

"I regret to slate that I do not," rejoined the Student. "In that case," replied the professor, preparing to resume with tho cmotation, "1 should advise you to get up early some morning before breakfast and learn it." Very amusing is the story of the latest Parisian duel. Two, rivals boxed .each others ears, and a mutual challenge to mortal combat followed. Accompanied by doctors and seconds, the foes, thirsting for each other's blood, drove out to the Bois early one very chilly morning. The spot was chosen. Coats were doffed, swords measured, the referee said: "Go, gentlemen," and tho fight began. But it soon dawned on the seconds that the combatants were less determined with cold steel than they were with the open hand. Both gallants exhibited an extraordinary circumspection in their play, and after twenty-four resumptions of the battle, neither had received a scratch. It was already past 1 in the afternoon, the seconds were r.hiv-aring and the doctors felt they were catching their death of cold, and there was no prospect of either combanant ever hitting the other. Suddenly one of the keepers of the. Bois emerged from behind a tree, and exclaimed crossly: "Look here, gentlemen, I have had enough of this. Here I have been for three hours looking at you two, and you are no further on with your fight than you were when you began. Now. duelling is illegal in this country. I don't mind winking at a duel for a reasonable time, but I can't go on allowing the law to be broken for three hours." Whereat the foils were put up, and the fight stopped to the Intense relief of everyone, particularly the combantants.

An amicable settlement of the question which involved about 40,000 men in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Syracuse, Utica, Rochester and Baltimore was reached through the medium of the committee of 3G appointed by the recent conference of the national civic federation in this city.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-01-10 |
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. |
