ESABLISHED 1892 WHO WILL IT HIT MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1902 WEEKLY EDITION IMPORTANT QUESTION ON THE ORDERS IT WILL DISCLOSE THE COMBINATION FOBMED IN EUROPE AGAINST THE STATES NEW YORK, January 18.--Thc London correspondent of the New York Tribune In a special dispatch, dated London 1 a. m., says: Henry Norman, whose practical knowledge of foreign affairs and American relations renders him a most unusual member of the commons, will bring out an important diplomatic secret at Monday's session. He will ask the under secretary of foreign affairs whether at the outbreak of the war between the United States and Spain if any communication was received from the Austrian or any other government relating to a proposal for a joint collective action by the European states and what was the nature of the reply made by the British government. The question was postponed on Friday, at the special request of the government, but unless all signs fail lord Cranborne will answer it decisively on Monday and probably agree to lay the papers before parliament. It has been an open secret in diplomatic circles in London and Washington that a proposal for collective action was made by Austria and strongly supported by one or more European powers, and that "the British government rendered the . United States a most important service in blocking the coalition and even threatening to join fleets with the Americans against it. Apparantly the British government: now has reasons of its own for bringing to light the precise nature and extent of the service actually rendered to the United States in a critical emergency. At any rate, J have the strongest reason for believing that Mr. Norman's industry will be rewarded -and a question of exceptional' '- interest to both countries will be answered completely. The motives of the British government for wishing to have the facts laid bare at the present moment can only be conjectured. Posibly a reminder, of the useful services of England, at the time0 when Americans had no other friends among the Europeans, is considered timely. The trial of Dr. Krause resulted in the severe sentence of two years' imprisonment, after protracted delay and numerous changes in the form of proceedings and the invalidation of the main counts of the indictment on technical grounds!. The prosecuting authorities have not come out well, but have avoided the original blunder of sending the prisoners to the Transvaal for military trial. The house of commons has lost by death, sir Ellis Ashmead-BartJett, an eccentric member, never really in touch with it and never receiving full credit ^forjiis, courage of .conyjc^^^ bine ability. I, _L Ford, London correspondent of the Tribune, says: Lord Roseberry's Chesterfield speech has not been displaced by th�� king's speech as an event of potential force in politics. The peace movement in Holland and Belguim, whether genuine or illusive, must be attributed to the sugestion of lord Roseberry that the ministers would be prepared to listen to the earliest proposals of peace from the Boer leaders in Europe. There Is no evidence that overtures of peace have been made to the British government, but Messrs. Kruger, Fischer and Leyds are manifestly anxious to create the impression that they will discuss the matter if they receive adequate encouragement. Two opinions are tenable respecting De Kuyper's journey to Brussells and London and the conference of the Boer leaders at The Hague. One points to the conviction of Kruger's colleagues that the war cannot be maintained much longer and the time is fast approaching when the claim of independece must be waived and a large grant for rebuilding the mines and stocking the farms be substituted for it. The other implies a distrust of the sincerity of all the peace talk at Brussells and The Hague and credits the Boer intriguers with a crafty desire to lengthen the war and bring reproach upon the government for disregarding lord Roseberry's advice. The ���Second is more reasonable, but the ^capture of Botha or D,ewet may bring about genuine peaee negotiations any day. ,_ Lord Roseberry'"- speech also produced the direct effect of promoting both the reunion of the Liberal forces and Radical counterplots The amendment to the address, which Frederick Cawly will move next week, is open to two interpretations. It may be a laborious and well balanced attempt to bring the two wings of the Liberal party together ln a single division of the lobby, or it may be a back bench intrigue for committing the Roseberry policy, which will discredit its followers. Each view is plausible and a correct conclusion cannot be drawn until Mr. Crawly's amendment is voted upon. If a Liberal reunion is in the air, lord Roseberry has many enemies plotting against him in the dark, "he truth remains that his Chesterfield speech has been fraught with important consequences. The atmosphere has been created both for the reunion of the Liberal party and for peace negotiations. The king's speech has left the diplomatic political situation unchanged, whereas the Chesterfield speech still has promise and potency of momentous results. The South African situation has been cleared by the meeting of parliament and an important stress of blue books. The dispatches of lord Kitchener and lord Milner reveal substantial progress in the working of railways, the re-open- ng of the mines, the contraction of the field of hostile operations and the pacification of the country. There are also official denials of the Boer charges of barbarism and inhumanity by soldiers, if the contradiction of anything so credible be needed, and detailed information respecting the concentration camps and treatment of Boer women and children. The cumulative camps and treatment of this mass of authentic information is, that a great anti-Boer agitation on the continent can have no raison d'etre when these store houses of official information are opened. The only fact which tells against the management of the concentration camp is the high mortality, but the explanation ot the medical authorities is that in the circumstances it could not be anything else, and that everything has been done to minimize the suffering and promote health and comfort of the homeless families. The latest dispatches from lord Kitchener indicate a steady progress in clearing the country and a remarkable increase in the mobility of the British columns and create a strong impression that the fighting is nearly over. The debate on the reply to the address from the throne has opened with a long list of amendments and will piobably drag along for a week. The. government's majority reached a low level on the amendment of the hous-. ing of the working classes, since the Tories and the Unionists found it impolitic to oppose it, but the result was an accident, due to the bad whipping. The government is, indeed, in much stronger form than its supporters had expected. The ministers are standing together and an armistice between Mr. Chamberlaiin and sir Mfichael Hicks- Beach has been arranged. The government has been greatly strengthened by the resolute attitude toward Germany, and it has become a patriotic duty for the solid men of the city to flng garlands in the path of Mr. Chamberlain. Cynics have charged him with playing to the galleries in appealing to the anti- German spirit, always existing in the English commercial classes. A more accurate-view is. that the outbreak of German criticism at the expense of the British soldiers and ministers, has-been bitterly resented and that both Mr. Chamberlain and the government have commanded popular homage by a display of the old-time Anglo-philistinism. The preparations, meanwhile, for prince Henry's visit to the United States are fully recorded by the London press, with an occasional comment implying that the emperor is wooing Uncle Sam with unwonted ardor; The more discreet moralists confess that the British government has done everything in its power to conciliate American feeling by the substantial concessions of the canal treaty and otherwise, and that Germany, with her well-known talent for imitation, is sensibly adopting the same line of action. The feeling on the stock exchange at the close of the past week was decidedly happy. Whether or not this was merely the upward end of the financial see-saw is hard to say; but, unless some unexpectedly discouraging ^news..arriyes from South Africa, there_is a good prospect for a continual upward movement. Money has been easy during the past week and there is every prospect that th bank rate of discount will be reduced to 3 1-2 per cent during the next fortnight. This reduction is rendered likely in view of the large government loan which is regarded as inevitable in March or April. It is also probable that there will be a Russian loan, in Paris, in the spring, and naturally the Bank of England will endeavor to stregthen the London monetary position as much as possible at that time. The peace rumors, which were circulated as diligently on the stock exchange as elsewhere, have helped tho boom, but the latest Boer statements emanating from the continent, indicate that these rumors were circulated largely for the benefit of the stock exchange. American securities did not share largely in the recent upward movement, but Grand Trunks were firmer. South American generally were dull, with the exception of Urugay bonds, which responded to the improved political outlook. Spanish fours were weak and Rio Tints eclipsed in sympathy with the break in copper. Everybody appears to expect an immediate resumption of prosperity in South Africa with the close of the war an immense gold output. Persons of conservative, .opinion, however, agree that any general laying down of arms, for some time to come, is not likely, and that the long deferred peace, with its accompanying prosperity, is likely to have to wait the slow process of arbitration. terview with a representative of the Associated Press today, denied that he bad tried to go to England for the opening of parliament Colonel Lynch said he had not left Paris for the good reason that he appreciated the fact that he was not allowed to reach his goal, the house of commons. He had some time ago contemplated going to the opening parliament, but, said he, jokingly, "I could not think that a nation that considers itself one of sportsmen, would be so unsportsmanlike as to seek to reach me in cold blood when it might have had me in warm blood in the Transvaal." Colonel Lynch added that his future movements would be governed by the counsels of the Irish party, in which he has every confidence, and by the wishes of his constituents. '" ��� ��� BOUNDARY'S CONTRIBUTION TWENTY MILLION REPRESENTS VALUE OF OUR MINERAL OUTPUT Provincial and Federal Taxes: GREENWOOD, January 18.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The following figures show the cash receipts at the office of the provincial government agent, Greenwood, during the calendar year 1901. Prior to last year revenue derived from liquor licenses was not credited the local office, but appeared as revenue received at Victoria, Rossland, or, before the Boundary was included in the Rossland riding of West Kootenay, at Vernon. Even now the figures given below do not show all the revenue the provincial government derives from the district immediately tributary to Greenwood, since all taxes from real estate and personal estate, timber dues, ore tax, and other revenues are credited other offices as part of their revenue receipts. The, following,, however, shows in part the revenue the province derives from the district.

Beyond the immediate vicinity of Eureka creek nothing is known of the country, except that there is a large mineral belt unexplored in which both quartz and placers are liable to be tls- covered. It is claimed that Eureka creek is good-for one to one and one- half ounces a day to the man.

Dr. Leyds now denies himself to everybody. It is asserted that Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, on his return to The Hague from the London conference with Mr. Wolmarans, the Boer delegate, has sent another delegate to consult with Mr. Kruger and that another meeting will be held next Monday. In spite of Boer denials, a strong feeling exists here that some p'eae'e movement is afoot between Great Britain and the Boer delegates, but that there is difficulty arriving at any acceptable basis of terms, as Kruger and Dr. Leyds are reluctant to committ them- selves.-^It-is-declared^iD.-BoeT-^circles, here that a number of Englishmen sup-I posed to be officials of the British government, arrived at The Hague under assumed names last Saturday and were entertained at dinner by the British minister there. Andrew Lang Scores Kipling LONDON, January 18.���Andrew Lang joins the long list of critics of Rudyard Kipling's poem "The Islanders," with a scathing denunciation of the author's personality. Mr. Lang takes the character of "Stalky & Company" generally supposed to be Kipling 'himself, and holds him up to derision for his "Un- athletic brutality." Will Not Take His Seat PARIS, January 18.���Colonel Arthur Lynch, the newly elected member of the house of commons for Galway City, who is said to have fought on the side of the Boers in South Africa, in an in- Doubts the Bible CHICAGO, January 19.���_ne Record- Herald says: Professor Charles W. Pearson of the chair of English literature in the Northwestern university, which is conducted under Methodist auspices, has thrown a bomb into the ranks of Methodism in Evanston, the seat of the university, by giving out for publication a statement or his belief that bibilcal infallibility is a superstitious and hurtful tradition and that the biblical stories of Christ bringing the dead to life, of his walking, on the water and feeding the multitude with the loaves and fishes were mere poetic fancies, increditible and untrue. Professor Pearson declares that the policy of the Methodists is one of inactivity, obstruction and Jesuitical silence on the part of leaders of the church. He says that most of the present church teaching and that most of the Sunday school teaching is almost farcial and entirely inadequate. , The Followers of Fashion LONDON, January 18.���Considerable flutter was created here by the announcement that king Edward had appeared in a frock coat with deep turned up velvet cuffs. Hundreds of fashionable ones immediately rushed to their tailors and ordered similar garments in spite of their extraordinary novelty. Consternation now prevails, as it is learned that what the king wore was a fiock overcoat on which velvet cuffs are often worn. VICTORIA, January 18.���[Special to The Tfibune.]-YThe bureiu'of mines today issued a bulletin signed by W. F. Robertson, provincial mlherologist, giving the mineral output pf the province for the year 1901, as follows: "This estimate is based upon the actual returns of ;-a- number of the mines, and for those mines f-onVwhich returns have not as yet been received, the output is based upon their approximate known tonnage for 'the last year, together with the assays,of the ores from the same mines fof the previous year. You will note that these are not given as final statistics for the year, which can only be obtained after all returns are in and checked very carefully. These will be included in the annual report of the department, which cannot be out for about two months yet; I hand you these figures now rather than wait for the ���final statistics, as I believe the prompt publication of even an approximate official estimate, making so good a showing, will be of benefit!to the province, and is generally desired by investors in our mines. "I think you will find this estimate conservative, and very approximate, quite sufficiently, so to show the progress which has. been made in the mining industry during:the past year. In calculating the values of the products the usual course has been followed, and the average price'for the year in the New York metal market, has been used as a basis. For silver, 95 per cent, and for lead 90 per cent, of such market price has been taken. Treatment and other charges have not been deducted. Roughly speaking, the; increase, made in, 1901 over 1900 is 25 per/ cent on gross' value of output of the province. This will be a very agreeable surprise to many, as the circulation of reports giving a contrary impression has caused a very despondent view to be taken of the progress of the mining industry during 1901, which does -not seem to be warranter by the facts. There is an appreciable drop in .the placer gold production, owing to the sudden melting of the snow last spring causing freshets, and leaving a shortage of water during the latter part of the season. "The tonnage of ore mined from the lode mines in the past year is about 871,832 tons, equal to an increase of 317,- 036 over the year 1900, a little "more than 57 per cent. There has been an increase in the output of all the metals with the exception of lead, the low price obtainable in this province for lead ores having discouraged this class of mining except where accompanied with good silver values. The gross value of the copper output has increased 206 per cent over 1900, while lode gold has increased 36-percent-and=silver-14-per-cent. MORGAN'S FRESH INVASION To Facilitate the Panama Deal PARIS, January 18.���It is explained that if the sale of the property of the Panama Canal Company is concluded, juris-consuls will be appointed to decide whether a ratification by a French tribunal is required, or whether the vote of a general meeting will suffice. But in any case it will be a matter of form. No obstacle is anticipated on that score. "The attached forms shows the estimated production of the various metals and for the various districts. "Gold, placer, 43,204 ounces, value $892,500; gold, lode, 227,696 ounces, value $4,704,200; silver, 4,685,718, value $2,624,- 002; copper, 30,736,798 pounds, value $4,951,698; lead, 50,529,260 pounds, value $1,970,641; coal, (tons of 2240 pounds) 1,529,210, value $4,587,630; coke, (tons of 2240 pounds) 134.760. value $673,800; other metals, $309,030 value; total value, $20,713,501.

This is a matter which the council of public Instruction at Victoria alone has the power to deal with, and the secretary was Instructed to write suggesting the desirability, of the change. : Some time was spent in-discussing tho estimate of expenditure for the year, which. " has to bo presented to the city council at -its meeting today, as under the new arrangement the salaries" and the public school accounts will be paid by the city, treasurer. ._ ,: . .... f One of the reforms which will be adopted by the new school board will'be to increase the salaries of the teaching staff, which hitherto have been regulated by'the department of education at Victoria and. havo been " inadequate to the cost of living In comparison to the salaries prevailing elsewhere. It was decided that the checks for salaries will be issued the first Tuesday of each month. The regular meetings of the school board will be.held on the second and fourth Friday^of each month"at the.ofiice ��� of Dr. Arthur. . The existing arrangement will increase the labors of the school trustees, as they ..'will now havo all the w.ork connected with tho school management under their own . jurisdiction. All salaries will be paid by the city, except the $300 grant by-the department of education for high school purpose, and a per capita of $15 for every child making the required attendance based on the average of the six months preceding the- 1st of January, and every day that a child is absent from the public school, less, than the total required by the department of education to become entitled to-the-payment of the grant, will'mean a reduction of eight cents per day, hence the Importance ot avoiding the closing of the school and the reason for the board ��� urging the vaccination question upon the attention of the " city authorities. The total amount of income derived from the department of .educational purposes, based on the latest estimates of the per capita grant, will be $5000. All salaries are fixed by the school board, but all sums required for additional accommodation ln the matter of school buildings or repairs to same will be at the option of the council, pending an appeal to the ratepayers. It is the aim of the new board to Increase the educational facilities of Nelson to tho highest standard and without being extravagant to procure the best teaching talent available, to the end that Nelson may =bec6me"the"'cducationarcenterIofJthciKoot-��� enays. . v Former Governor Sent to Prison LONDON, Jan. IS.���The lord chief justice, baron Alverston, today sustained the contention of the defense of D. Krause' that the charge ot Inciting to murder must fall as there was no evidence that the letter in the case had reached Broccksmanj but tho question of "attempting to persuade" must go to tho jury. The trial of Dr. Krause, the former governor of Johannesburg, on the charge of Inciting Cornelius Broeeksman, the public prosecutor nf Johannesburg, who was executed by tha British authorities In South Africa for tlio murder of John Douglas Foster, an English lawyer who was on the staff of lord Roberts, opened at the Old Bailey yesterday. Dr. Krause was found guilty and sentenced to two years' imprisonment.

This company, which has already applied for pier privileges in the city, and formulated the larger part of Its plans, expects by the substitution of the turbine engine for that now ln use to secure a constant speed of 30 knots an hour in its new boats. Such a speed will mean that passengers can be carried from this country to Europe in a little more than four days.

The approaching convention of the, Liberals of the province, which has been taken in hand by the members of the provincial executive, gives promise: of being the most important political' gathering in the history of British Col-' umbia, and one which may leave its; impress upon the politics of the province. First and foremost, it is expected- that a stand will be made by the Lib-' erals upon the question of party lines! in provincial politics. All that is necessary to secure an outspoken pronouncement upon this question, and one; committing the Liberal organization irrevocably to the adoption of party _-Jincs,._=is-1a--fair--representation-;Of���the mining and interipr sections of the pro-1 vince in the convention. The men who! control of the Liberal machine on the! Coast are aware of this, and the sus picion has taken hold in many quarters! that an effort will be made by them to muzzle the convention upon this issue, at least until after the Victoria bye- election has been pulled off. Their rea-; son for this is manifest. The machine Liberals are behind the candidature of 10. V. Bodwell, the recognized head of! the Vancouver, Victoria & Eastern rail-; way forces iu the legislature. This fac-j tion ir. made up largely of Conserva-) fives who bolted on the railway issuej Inst session. There are the elements; here for a very lively convention, but! tho ginger has yet to be added. This will he furnished by Joseph Martin.. The nod well wing of the Liberal party1 has always opposed Martin's aspirations,; and "Joe" has a chance in the coming- convention to play even with those who; have crossed him so often. He knows' better than anyone else how a pronouncement in favor of the adoption of party lines would cut the ground from! under Bodwell's feet, and those who are intimate with him say if there is a way to secure it that Martin will find the way There will, therefore, be three divisions of the party in the approaching convention if it is at all representative. These will include the Martinites and the anti-Martinites, whose fued is no less bitter now than it was two years ago, and as a third division, the great body of the Liberals in the interior, who, if they so will it, can! take the destiny of their party out of the hands of the warring factions. If they decide to do this the issue will probably be forced upon the selection j of a leader for the province. At the present time the party is without a rec- osnized provincial leader, and when it ccdiios to naming one, the interior Liberals, who chafe under the control of the machine-men at tho Coast, and who U4. the same time aro not content to in crease prestige of Martin, will probably select one of their own number. Tf this course is decided upon it is said the honor will probably fall upon W. A. Galliher of this city, the representative in the commons of the important district of Yale-Kootenay-Cariboo. In his favor it is urged that he has no entanglements with either the turbulent factions of the party on the Coast, and that he also stands high in the estimation, of premier Laurier and his ministers. The statement issued by the provincial mineralogist, giving the mineral output of British Columbia for the past year, is very encouraging. It places the value of the output of the mines of the province for the year 1901 at $20,- 713,501, showing an increase of 25 per cent over the previous year. Those who were led to believe that the mining industry had stagnated during 1901 will be surprised at the figures, and more so when they are analyzed, for while the increase in the gross output of the mines has increased but 25 per cent during the year under review, the increase in the output of the lode mines increased 57 per cent over the output of the previous year. Lead was the only mineral that did not show a gain in the aggregate value of its output. The silver- output of the province increased 14 per cent, the lode gold output increased 36 per cent, but the great gain was in the copper output, consequent upon the' operation of the big companies at Phoenix and Greenwood, the increase of the copper output being no less than 206 per cent.

The cyanide works are well placed for treating the tailings and for getting benefit of the water power. The buildings are completed and the vats being erected. It is hoped they will be all finished during January, and the general expectation is that they will increase the profits by at least ��1000 per month after the first month or two, when tho zinc boxes will have been thoroughly coated with solution. Generally, I am convinced that the mine is exceptionally good, and it certainly is a much better and bigger one than I had any idea of; and as soon as the capital expenditure is finished there is no doubt that the dividends can be considerably increased and maintained. Very little more capital expenditure will be required when the cyanide works are finished; but there is no doubt in my mind that the recommendation of Mr. Fowler and his assistants, and confirmed by Mr. Wether- ed, to the effect that not only the cyanide plant but also- the electric plant should be worked by water power, should be carried out; and now that the flume, carrying the water to the cyanide works has been built, the only cost would be that of moving the dynamos from the mill to the cyanide house, and this,'-I think, should be undertaken at once, i. e., as soon as the weather permits. I do not think there is any probability, of the flume being frozen, but it might be well to defer shifting the dynamos until the spring, and untilo the flume has been tested.

WILL GONT DURING THIS WEEK Biff Dividends Expected Allen H. P. Stoneham, one of the directors of the West Australian Goldflelds, a company which is heavily interested in the Ymir mine, has recently ^forwarded-to^London^a^letter^giving-his opinion of the Ymir and its possibilities as a dividend maker. While on his way to Australia Mr. Stoneham paid a visit to the Ymir and he makes the prediction that the property will pay dividends equal to 25 per cent during this year, and an additional shilling in the pound during the year 1903. In the letter giving his opinion of the property Mr. Stoneham says: "I managed to find time to visit the Ymir mine, am very glad I did so. I spent two days at the Ymir, the first day going over tho workings of the mine Itself and also through the mill, and the second day I visited the tho cyanide works and the long tunnel, which hits been driven nearly 1800 feet, with a view of cutting the reef at a depth of 1000 feet. The tunnel will probably have to be driven about 400 feet more before the reef is cut; and as the reef has been proved to a depth of about 350 feet from the proposed point of intersection, and is both wide and rich at that depth, there is every reason to believe that the reef will be met with in the tunnel. The lowest workings in tho shaft are about 620 feet from the top of the shaft, but as the shaft opens on the hill side, and the reef outcrops some 50 feet, above the shaft, the reef has really been proven some 770 feet from the surface. The so- called 1000-foot level, where the tunnel will intersect the reef, is really 1150 feet from the outcrop. Almost all the ore hitherto taken from the mine has been taken��� (a) From above the top of the shaft and below the outcrop; (b) From the shaft down to the 300- foot level; (c) A very little from the 400-foot level; but neither of these levels is anythjng like exhausted yet, and indeed can hardly be said to have been touched; for there is an immense quantity of ore left in them, and the reef in the face at each end is somewhat above 30 feet wide. In fact, it. might quite truthfully be said that the mine is hardly touched yet, and there is enough ore provided to keep the present stamp mill supplied for several years to come; and when the tunnel has opened up the reef at the so-called 1000 feet it will, beyond a doubt, be necessary to double the present mill. The mill is about one mile by road from the mine and the cyanide works half a mile below Last Year was a Good One As an indication of trade iri any country the earnings of the railroads are supposed to be a good barometer. What the two great Canadian railroads, the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk, have earned during the past year, therefore, might be expected to show to some degree the expansion of trade throughout the Dominion. Both roads can boast of large increases in gross earnings, the Canadian Pacific even more than the Grand Trunk, but it has been a prosperous year for both roads. The financial year of the two railroads ends on June 30, but for purposes of comparison the ordinary year may be taken. From the figures given out each week as official by the railroads, the gross earnings of the Grand Trunk in 1900 were ?27,55G,376, and in 1901 they were $28,993,687, an increase of $1,437,- 311. In the same periods the Canadian Pacific showed gross earnings of $29,- 944,000 "for l-6ff^r$-C053;0-0"W"I90l7 an increase of $4,109,000. The net earnings of the Grand Trunk are not available, but in the case of the Canadian Pacific they are for the eleven months of last year and for the twelve months of 1900. During 1900 the net earnings of the road were $11,857,585, and the eleven months of 1901 they $12,151,893, so that, leaving month of December to to to to to 9\ Special Low Prices on all Dress Goods, Silks, Underwear, Ready-to-Wear Suits, Skirts, etc. A few Silk Blouses at cut prices.

Just where the increases of both roads comes from it. is rather difficult to say. The ordinary annual reports of the two roads do not show where the revenue-producing territories arc. The Grand Trunk has a rich territory in Ontario, but it also docs a very large through business from the western States, at low rates, it is true, but still revenue-producing, the railway company says. The query, therefore, in regard to the Grand Trunk is, does it derive its paying revenue from Canada or from the traffic that it secures from its American territory? There is a rather different condition of altars to be considered in dealing with the earning power of the Canadian Pacific Railway, as its earnings are supposed to typify the prosperity of the country. The Canadian Pacific earnings come to a very considerable extent from business in Canadian territory. It would look as if the increase the past year in earnings was due altogether to the extraordinary crop in the northwest. The net earnings of the road in 1900 were $282,579 less than in 1899, due to the partial failure in that year of the western crop. This past year the west has come to the rescue of the company, for there were resources of revenue in Ontario that under ordinary circumstances were to bo relied upon, but which failed the company. Among these may be mentioned the partial failure of the egg trade, both to the old country and to the Pacific coast, and also the almost entire failure of the apple crop, both of which cut off a most lucrative source of -revenue. It is to the west, then, that the Canadian Pacific appears to be indebted for its increase of revenue, despite a possible loss in Ontario. In connection with the earnings of the two companies, the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific railway, it. is interesting to note that the former today or.orates directly 4179 miles, and the latter 7156 miles. 1 Six of the World's Great Men A fortune amassed by the manufacture of dynamite and other death dealing agents of warfare is now being devoted to tho apothosis of iieace. On December 10th, the fifth anniversary of the death of Nobel, the Swedish inventor and philanthropist, intellectual Europe^ met in Stockholm to award the generous bequests Alfred Nobel left those who, within the past five years, have achieved the most for the advancement of the arts and sciences, and for the amelioration of the horrors of warfare. To assure an impartial decision the deceased benefactor had made a wise provision. In his will he delegated the right to make awards to several learned bodies. To the-Swedish Academy of-Medicine was charged' the responsibility of choosing between the candidates for the scientific awards; judgment of physiology and medicine was left to the Caroline Acadamey of Medicine; the Academy of Stockholm, an institution similar to tho French Academy, was to pass oii literature; and a committee of five members elected by the senate and house of tho Swedish parliament were con- stituded a body to decide which workers in the holy cause of peace were most entitled to reward. Abovo all it was specified that national prejudice should in no way affect the awards, that no preference should be exercised in favor of the Scandinavian states, but-that the worthy men of all nations should stand equal in the eyes of the judges. Tlie results prove how faithfully the commission did their work; the six prizes were distributed to four countries���France Switzerland, Germany and Holland. Sully Prudmore of Paris, received tho ���award for poetic philosophy; Roentgen, the famous German physician, was awarded first honors for the discovery of the "X- Ray;" Van T'Hoff of Amsterdam , for chemistry; Dr. Hehrlng of Berlin, for discoveries in medicine; and Frederick Passy of France, and Henri Durant of Geneva for greatest services in curtailing the sufferings incidental to warfare. -=-'i-hese-six=inen_will_divide,iabetw.enn^lhemi the revenue that has accrued on $10,000,000 within th past live years. The money will now be invested again and an award made every year. Willi tho possible cxcoptlon of Dr. Beh- ring, all the successful candidates are men of international fame, and while, of course, thero were some inevitable disappointments the general opinion seems to be that each has come into an honor he has well merited. Pruilhomin'e is really the French poet luareate. Though not so well known in the United States and England as Rostand and some of the younger dramatic poets, he enjoys an unquestionable supremacy among his own countrymen. Besides Prudhomme the French academy also forwarded the names of Edmond Rosin ml, Vallery Radot and Frederic Mistral; none of these, wore, however, considered against the venerable dean or French poesy who was selected not only because of the brilliancy or his technique, but because of the inspiring nobility ot his sentiments. The justice of the award to Dr. Roentgen will hardly be disputed. No discovery or the last decade has heen more far reaching in its effect than the "X-Ray." It is true that other scientists had wrestled wJHh this problem prior to Roentgen, but to him goes the glory of having brought it to a successful finish and of having demonstrated its applicability to everyday surgery. Jacobus Henricus Van T'Hoff, who carries oft the prize for supremacy in chemical science, is a famous Dutch savant, who holds chairs at the universities of Berlin and Rotterdam. So popular is he in his native land that recently his twenty-fifth anniversary as doctor of sciences at the university of Utrecht was celebrated by a great demonstration in Rotterdam. Dr. Behrinc of Berlin, is a member of that noted group of physicians that include Dr. Koch. Ho was selected by the Stockholm conference because of his discovery of a vaccine for croup. The fame of Henri Durant dates from 1R5i). In that year, in the battle of Sol Torino, when under Napoleon TIT. Italy was finally wrested from Italian control, the Red Cross Society began its work of mercy. Durant founded the society and under his management it has found recognition from all civilized governments, and is now as much a part of the military service a.s the medical corps. It was fitting that Frederick Passy should share the peace prize with such a. man. Passy is the founder of the Peace League and secretary of the society of the Friends nf Peace. He has devoted his life to opposing warfare, and has written many papers' on its barbarity and uselcssnoss. Tn advancing his propaganda he has addressed every parliament in Europe. It is significant in planning his rewards for tho world's benefactors, Alfred Nobel had thought only for the peaceful arts. He prepared no la.urels for military brows Indeed, he emphasized his hatred for the soldier's calling by remembering the men of peace, those who work to lessen the horrors nf war and even abolish it altogether. Tt is significant that the wealth that Nobel left, came lo him mainly through his Invention of the most terrible explosive known tn modern warfare���dynamite. This discovery was partly the result of an accident. Tn 18S5 while experimenting with nltro-glycerine he caused some dis- ' carded material to bo dumped on a sand pile preparatory to its removal later on. During the night the liquid nitro-glyccrine leaked through and mixed with the sand; when Nobel came to examine the mixture next day lie found that chance had revealed to him the combination he had vainly been searching for for twelve years. The result was dynamite. But the fortune thus founded on. an agent of destruction has been put to gentle uses. In life Nobel aided men in the arts of battle; in death he has become a mute apostle of the glories of peace. The Largest Wheel Ever Cast Tlie largest commercial wheel ever.cast has just been set up in liie shops of Us makers, the Robert Pool & Sons Company of Baltimore, to be tested before it is shipped to its owner, the Calument & Heela Mining Company of Michigan. Its height, or diameter, rather, is IS foot, and with its supports it weighs more than 1,000,000 pounds. It is to be used to carry away the refuse from stamp mills. Tho wheel is known as a sand Wheel. Upon' the inner surface of its rim will be arranged G50- buckets, eacli measuring 4 fed. (i inches by *J feet. As the mighty wheel revolves each bucket will scoop up its capacity of earth and refuse, which it will, dump in a trough at the top. ��� The order for the wheel was given in June, 1000, and work upon it began a month later. It is expected that in two months more il will bo ready for shipment. Hence it will havo taken one and one-half years to build it. Tlie shaft of this great moving mass of steel came from tho Krupp gun factory. It is S2 inches in diameter and 27 feet long, with a 2(j inch hole through the center. Its weight is 12,000 pounds. Tn building the wheel tlie work was laid out in twentieths, and when the makers were ready to put the segments together thoy found that the work had been so skillfully done that every piece fitted to perfection. Several pieces of machinery had to be specially invented and made in order to produce certain portions of the wheel. So carefully is the work of setting up being done that a magnifying glass is in constant use to determine the accuracy of tho bolt adjustments, etc. So accurately has tho wheel been balanced that it can be easily operated with a small screw and by ono man. AVhen in actual use at the mines it will require the force from a 700 horse power electric motor. ^Ifor-.y-t-1.rs*-Wi 11 bo required_to move the structural work to its destination.

It is like expecting a boarding school boy to play in a county eleven."���Private Letter. -Fenced by your careful fathers, ringed by your leaden seas. Long did ye wake in quiet, and long lie down at ease; Till yo said of strife: "What is it?" Of the Sword: "It is far from your ken:" Till ye made sport ot your shrunken hosts and a toy of your armed men, Yc stopped your ears to the warning, ye would neither look nor heed��� Yo set your leisure before their toil, and your lusts above their need. Because of your wltles* learning and your beasts of warren and chase Yo grudged your sons for the service and your fields for their camping place, Yo forced them glean in the highways the straw for the bricks they brought; Yo forced them follow in byways the craft that yc never taught. Ye hindered and hampered and crippled; ye thrust out of sight and away Those that would serve you for honor and those who would serve you for pay. Then was the judgments loosened, then w.as your shame revealed, At tho hands of a little people, few, but apt in the field. Yet we were saved by a remnant (and the land's long suffering star), When your strong men cheered in their millions, while your striplings wont to the war. Sons of tho unsheltered city���unmade, un- hnndled, unmeet��� Yc pushed them raw to the battle as ye picked them raw from the street. And what did ye look thoy should compass? Warcraft learned in a breath? Knowledge unto occasion at the flrst far view of death? So! Yo train your horses and the dogs ye fed and prize, How are the beasts more worthy than the souls you sacrifice? But ye said: "Their valor shall show them," but ye said: "The end Is close;" And ye sent them comfits and pictures to help them harry your foes, And ye vaunted your fathomless power and flaunted your iron pride Ere���yo fawned on the Younger Nations for the men who could shoot and ride! Then yo returned to your trinkets; then ye contented your souls Willi tho flannelled fools at the wicket or the muddled oafs at the goals. Given to strong delusion, wholly believing a lie, Yo saw that the land lay fenceless and ye let the months go by; Waiting some easier wonder; hoping some savin-; sign��� Idle��� openlv idle���in the leo of the foro- snent line.

CAPTURE OF AN AMAZON Had Led Troops for Tears MANILA, January 19.���General Chaffee in the annual report which has just been received sums up the situation from the military point of view, saying that the provinces of Batangas and Laguna, in southern Luzon, and the islands of Samara, Mindoro and Cebu, constitute the disturbed area in which bodies of the insurgents in force are to be found. General Chaffee says the prolongation of guerilla warefare is due to the physical character of the country and the nature of the warfare carried on by the insurgents, who pose as friends and act as enemies in the same hour, to the humanity displayed by the American troops, of which the insurgents take advantage and to the fear of assassination, on the part.of those natives who are friendly disposed towards the Americans, should they give the latter information concerning the movements or the whereabouts of the insurgents. Municipal and provincial governments are being organized. These governments have not yet received a practical trial. They constitute the only certian and reliable method of ascertaining the progress of the Filipinos toward self- government. According to the opinion of the army officers, the disaster to company "C" of. the 9th infantry at Balangiga, Samar, when 4."! men were killed, is attributed to the great confidence of these men in a territory which they assumed to be pacified. In the same report judge advocate Groesbeck says the suppression of brigandage will probably be one of the most trying problems of the future. If the military arm be left free to "deal with the marauders, there is no doubt of their final suppression, but the presence of the civil government complicates the situation considerably. With the civil and military authorities work ing in harmony, says judge Groesbach, no evil results should be anticipated. A report has been received that a dugout canoe in which eleven men of company "I" of the second nfantry, were travelling, is missing and probably lost. It is believed the men have perished or were captured. An important capture was made in Laguna province, Luzon, when eight men of the 8th infantry captured a woman insurgent named Aquda Kaha- bagar. She commanded an insurgent force of 800 men, three hundred of whom carried rifles, while 500 are armed with bolos, and for six years past she has been leading insurgent bands against the Spaniards and the Americans. WASHINGTON, January 19.���The Philippine question will be precipitated on the senate tomorrow when the committee on the Philippines, which has had the house Philippine tariff bill under consideration, expects to report the measure. The bi.ll, with its comix tte amendments, will be sent to the printer, and senator Lodge, chairman of the committee, will give notice of his intention to call it up on the following day ad ask for its continued consideration until fully disposed of. There is a general acquiscence of Republican senators in this programme. There are other important measures to be presented at the proper time, by administration senators, but the present agreement is to pass the Philippine bill first, as being of the most immediate importance. A long discussion of the bill is expected by the Republicans and promised by the Democrats. Tomorrow senator Prye will report the ship subsidy bill, but he will not attempt to secure consideraton for it, for the present and probably not until after the Philippine bill shall have been disposed of. The report of the committee on the inter-ocean canals is expected later in the week, but may be delayed. The consideration of that question in the senate will also wait on the Philippine bill. During thr week senator Nelson will Make renewed efforts to secure the pas sage o" his; bill for the creation of a depai tn ent of commerce.

DETROIT, January 19.���Four buildings, each four stories high, located in: the heart of the wholesale district, of this city, collapsed tonight without any apparent cause, and all that'now remains is a small heap of smoldering ruins.

One building was occupied by: the Maddocks Glove Company and the; Imperial Gar- Company. The loss on; the stock of the glove company is esti-: mated at $25,000 and the loss to the; Imperial Gas Company at $15,000. Noj one seems to know what caused the- collapse of the buildings.

After securing the; money and the cash, drawer they rushed: down the stairs into Douglas street, where a policeman gave chase, firing several shots: after them. A riot call was turned Into the: police station and a wagon load of officers rushed to the scene. One of the robbers: ran out of an alleyway into the arms of; a policeman and the other was found in a hall .way.

All of the stolen money was found on them, the cash box having been emptied and its contents thrown into the street. Americans all Agog WASHINGTON, January 18.���The corn-5 mittee charged with the arrangement for the reception and entertainment of prince Henry today decided that it would be impossible to yield to the request of many cities to have the prince visit them.

A STEAIGHTPOEVAED PLATF0BM. ._rr Engineers Will Not Strike WASHINGTON, January 19. ���The great lakes engineers, who are delegates to the national convention of marine engineers, which will meet here tomorrow, decided at a conference that there was no occasion, for a strike on the great lakes so far as their demands are concerned. The question arose as to whether engineers, as members of the association, would be permitted to operate vessels owned by the steel trust. These have signed contracts for the coming season with the trust at the association scale and a decision was reached that there was nothing in the contracts to prevent the engineers from carying out their agreement with the various local associations in the vicinity of the great lakes who will be notified after today's decision.

Cigars for Eoyal Smokers Tho crowned heads of Europe have their cigars mado expressly for them by th6 largest factory in Havana, according to the Cigar and Tobacco Journal. King Edward and emperor William are the sovereigns to whom money is no objecct in comparison with a Rood smoke. The English king favors a long and fat cigar about eight inches long. The kaiser prefers a much smaller cigar, one measuring six and three-quarter inches In length by thirteen-sixteenths of an Inch in diameter. These cigars are on sale to the general public. They are made up in lots of 1000, which is the regulation order received from tho royal customers of the Cuban factory. Nevertheless, a few of these prize Havanas aro kept on hand for sole to travelers as souvenirs, and in that way many a connoisseur Is able on special occasions to enjoy a royal smoke. As might bo supposed the cigars are made from the choicest leaves and by the best workmen ln the factory. The men who roll the cigar for king Edward receive 25 cents for each cigar thoy finish. These cigars are worth $1 each in Havana, and if offered for sale in New York, with the duty paid, each would cost $2.30. It is only a few weeks ago that the secretary for the king of Kng- land sent the factory a draft for ��200, with an order for a thousand cigars. The cigars made for emperor William cost 25 cents cacli in Havana, and in New York they would be worth 78 cents each at wholesale, These cigars are not put In boxes like ordinary "weeds," but are shelved in biAiches of ten or fifteen In beautiful cabinets built to accommodate the entire number ordered. A Daring Hold-up OMAHA, January 18.���Two robbers held up a dozen mon in a gambling room over the saloon of Cliff Cole, at Fourteenth and Douglas streets, early today and secured (he cash box and $200 In money from tho customers nf the place.

Second Bed-Bock Discovered- PORT TOWNSEND, Washington, January IS.���The steamer Dirigo has arrived from Skagway, bringing fifty passengers, some of whom are from the Klondike. They report that much excitement prevails at Dawson over the striking of a second bedrock on Eldorado creek, thirty feet below tho first. The gravel ran from $1 to $5 to the pan. Circle City, once one of the leading camps in the north is now deserted except by storekeepers, all having stampeded to Good Pasture, creek In the Tanau country, where rich gravel has been discovered. The White Pass & Yukon railway is blockaded and passengers have to bo transferred across a big snowslide a mile and a half wide and 100 feet long, which covers the track to a depth of eight feet. Mine Workers in Convention INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, January IS.��� Several hundred delegates have already arrived here to attend the 13th annual con- vntion of the United Mine Workers of America, which opens Monday morning. Fear is expressed that the convention will be un- wieldly, as it is expected that there will be over 1000 delegate's," making it the largest convention ever held by 'organized labor. President Mitchell will preside. Ben Tillett, the famous English labor leader, will arrive tonight, to be the guest of the miners' union. President Gompers of the American Federation may also visit the city. It is understood that the miners will present a demand for an increase of at least 10 per cent over the wages they at present receive, but it is almost equally certain that the operators will make a stubborn resistance, as many of them claim that they are either operating at a loss or very small profit. The miners will also ask for an extension of the run of.mine bosses to the districts where the screen basis now' prevails. This has been in. controversy for a long time, and will be an important feature of the convention. "Anagreement now exists as to wages, made here two years ago a:#l ratified at the joint conference at Columbus last year. The fact that the miners havo failed to unionize West Virginia may prevent thcln from getting an Increase at the present time, as the operators of J'ennsylvaiila, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. claim that the West Virginia operators who pay non-union wages aro able to undersell them. The union in West Virginia will probably receive considerable attention, ns the miners are determined to'unionize the state. President Mitchell, vlco-president Lewis and secretary-treasurer Wilson will probably be elected without opposition. Tho national executive board of the miners met here today to take up grievances that will be presented to the convention. The joint conference between the miners and operators begins January 30th. -*-4 ,-^'-S'8'^'^'S^'S'a'S,S'a'��'S'a��*^*a*^'i>'>'>'>''-��'>-->'->-->-->-->'^-'^-^-*^ to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to IK ESTABLISHED 1892 3 -&��� # Portland Cement Fire Brick Fire Clay- Sheet Iron T Rails Ore Cars Blowers Exhausters Pumps Graniteware *Tinware HARDWARE AND IRON MERCHANTS HEATING STOVES COOKING STOVES AND RANGES 7 _* NELSON, B.

Papers have just been prepared in this city. The suit will be to secure title to Cumberland island, off the coast of Georgia, which Mr. Carnegie aud his sister-in-law have made a beautiful park and mid-sea home. The fact that the' Stafford heirs had any claim to the property was discovered by an accident. In tne papers on file in the case it is alleged that Robert Stafford bought the island now in dispute in 1848." He had $300 at that time, and went to the island to raise cotton. In the second year of his work there he 'was married.r His wife was Elizabeth Barnaby, famed as "The White Slave." She was employed by a Georgia planter, and her ancestors were white, but she had been sold into slavery, and an action .was pending at the time to secure her freedom. Robert Stafford fell in love with her, purchased her freedom and made her his .wife. It is the descendants of this woman and Robert Stafford who are now contending for the ?2,000,000. The Tyee Smelter Project The tenders for the building of tho aerial tramway, which is to connect the Tyee mine with the Esquimau & Nanaimo Railway, have been received, and are now under consideration by the managers. It is also stated by the Ladysmjith "Leader" that all details connected with the erection of the smelter are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. In a very short time now operations will be commenced on the site near Ladysmith and the same eiier- May Make the Purchase WASHINGTON, January IS.���The supplemental report of. the,;.isthmlah canal commission on the proposition of the Panama Canal Company^ to . dispose of. Its property to tho United Statos for .$10,000,000 was delivered to president Roosevelt this evening. Tho members of the oommlasion refuse to discuss the nature of the report, and like reticence was maintained at the White House, but it was stated on excellent authority that the report unanimously recommends that the offers of the Panama company be accepted. The report, it is stated, is very voluminous, going into all phases of the question nnd attempting to meet the objections that legal complications, will arise out of the purchase or that there will be any international difficulties should the deal be consummated. The report was completed about C o'clock this evening, .and after being signed by the members of the commission was carried by admiral "Walker, chairman of the commission, to secretary Hay! who transmitted it to the president. The latter will send the report to congress the first of the week, probably Monday. The report goes fully into the steps that must be taken in order to insure a perfect title to the United States, for. in addition to the present Panama Ganal Company, the old organization and ' the Colombian government must be reckoned with. The report finds, however, that the new company can give a clear title. It is stated that when the commission made its recent report fav- "ibring~the-"Nicaraguaniroute=no-offer^tO'sell- to this government had been made by the Panama company. The offer of 840.000,00 made in behalf of the company by M. Lam- pre, it is said, changed the situation completely. Rossland Strike Rumor ROSSLAND, January 18.���Considerable interest was excited here today by an announcement from various members of the miners' union that at an emergency meeting of the union this evening steps would be taken to discontinue the strike. The report was circulated so assiduously by well-known union men that it was generally taken for granted there could be no doubt as to the result of the deliberations. The expected did not happen, however, for within a few minutes after the meeting opened the executive asked for an adjournment to Tuesday or Wednesday or next week on the ground that manager Kirby of the Centre Star and the War Eagle mines had not yet been seen was taken, and matters are still in statu auo.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-01-20 |
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. |
