_:_t-i5_S__;,jiS:-'i'j ESABLISHED WASAMUBDEREB SCHEEPERS DESERVING OF NO SYMPATHY FRIDAY MORNING*; JANUARY 24, 1902 SECRETARY BRODERICK INFORMS PARLIAMENT WHY HE WAS EXECUTED LONDON, January 23.���The war secretary, Mr. Broderick, was,, asked by William Redmond, Irish Nationalist, in the house of commons today why commandant Scheepers, who was captured by general French in October last, was executed last Saturday at Graafreinet, Cape Colony. The secretary replied that Scheepers was shot because he had been convicted of various offences against the usages of war, including seven cold-blooded murders of natives, and the Hogging of a white man. Mr. Broderick added that the fact that com- mandan Scheepers was a prisoner of war carried no exemption from trial for . murder, or other violations of the rules of war. o Mr. Balfour, the government leader in the house, partially parried an interesting question put by Mr. McLaren, Liberal, as to whether any proposals in behalf of the leaders of the Boers, with a view of bringing about a settlement of the war, had been received by the government since the negotiations between general Kitchener and general Botha. "No proposal of that kind," said Mr. Balfour, "has reached us on the part of any one able to speak for the leaders i. of the Boer forces." The evasive reply of the government leader was taken to be a confirmation of the reports that proposals had been received from' the Boer delegates in Europe, but. had been rejected. The debate in reply to the speech from the throne was resumed in the house of commons today by John Redmond, who moved an amendment raising the whole question of Irish grievances. He declared that .instead of. remedying the admitted wrongs, the -government had fallen back on the old methods of coercion. The Irish people would yet teach Mr. ,. Wyndham, the chief secretary for Ireland, to repent his rash refusal to grant the, reasonable demands of Ireland in regard to the compulsory sale and purchase of land. There was no country in the world where crime was less frequent than in Ireland. Yet the coercion act had been resurrected, after a decade, and had been ruthlessly applied to scores, including members of the house of commons, who had been un- justifably imprisoned, and trial by jury : had been abolished. The whole intellect of-Ireland was against the government, and in such circumstances resistence to the government was a duty and re- " hellion became merely a question of , expediency. Though a hundred years had passed sinced the union, English rule in Ireland still rested upon force and corruption, and the Irish would never be well satisfied until they were masters of-their own country. Hon. P. Hayden, Irish Nationalist, seconded the amendment. *"i^Repryin~g^to=*^Mrr^Re=dmondp^Mrr Wyndham traversed almost all of his statements and declared that no_gov- ernment expected to settle the "Irish question, but only hoped to do a little toward improving it, and that the land act of 1881 was too drastic a measure, having produced a litigous war which had ruined many people. The chief secretary for Ireland said that the strongest argument against introducing compulsion into the purchase and sale of land was that such action would provoke every landlord and every tenant to fight from court to court on every disputable point. He reiterated his conviction that thej-jower of the United Irish league was declining; that it had only 74 branches, and that it was having a prejudicial effect upon economies. The present agitation, declared Mr. Wyndham, was the work of a few determined persons, and no man who was not a cur would hesitate to take such steps as were open to him to suppress this wretched form of bullying the government. Mr. Wyndham said he was determined, while dealing justly with Ireland, to fight for liberty and the protection of property. tion of Wk prince. The press will be cared for as far as the limited space will permit. It is now proposed to take the distinguished visitor as far north as Milwaukee on one side, and Boston on the other. Tlie prince will arrive in New York on Saturday, and will spend his first Sunday in America in that city, paying a visit to Grant's tomb. He will go to Washington early Monday morning, and while there will live at the German embassy. A special guard of honor, consisting of a detail of United States engineers will watch the embassy as long as the prince remains there. The second Sunday will probably bo spent at. Chatanooga and a visit will be paid to the great national park at Chickamauga. The third and last Sunday of the prince's stay in America will be spent in New York. ing their, duties on that occasion. Whitelaw Reid will head the special embassy, and on the Invitation of Mr. Reid general Wilson and captain Clark will spend several days at his residence near New York city for the purpose of agreeing on a program for partcipation in the coronation ceremonies. Captain Clark later visited the capital and was presented to the senators by senator Proctor. The presentation occurred ln the senate marble room. The reception was informal and most cordial. DAILY EDITION THE LAST CHANGE LEDGE Struck at Depth of 1600 Feet After eighteen months' steady1 work, and an expenditure of close on to $50,- 000, the galena ledge has at last been struck in the long tunnel at the Last Chance and a fine body of ore opened up. The galena tunnel is without doubt the finest cro6S-cut ever driven in the province of British Columbia. It is 1,800 feet long, 7x0 in the clear, and runs to tap the galena ledge which outcrops very strongly on the surface^ but has never been prospected below 50 feet. It was the heaviest mining gamble ever taken in the Kootenay. The tunnel crossed the ledge about three months ap-o in a barren spot and was driven 150 feet past it before the managers decided, about, a month ago, to raise and drift on a slip which looked as though it night be a vein. On Saturday the ore was struck at a depth of 1,600 feet, and a new record made for long tunnel work in the Slocan.���The Ledge. Money Returned to China WASHINGTON, January 23.-Secretary Hay today handed to minister "Wu a draft on the United States treasury for $376,600, being the value of the silver bullion captured by the American marines at Tien Tsin. Inasmuch as minister Wu is charged with the payment of salaries of the Chinese consuls in the United States, and with defraying the expenses of the Chinese legation in Washington, in Lima and Madrid, it is believed that this money will be applied to such purposes. DID NOT EARN DIVIDEND BOSSLANfi STRIKE UNION IS TREATING WITH THE L�� ROI IT IS EXPECTED T&AT A SETTLEMENT WILL BE REACHED SHORTLY Henry's Gifts to Americans BERLIN, January 23.���*Prinpe Henry of Prussia selected at the court jewelers today about fifty presents for Americans with whom he' will come specially in contact',during his.visit to the United States. The presents include several gold and silver boxes set with diamonds. They have the emperor's monogram, encircled with diamonds enamelled on the lids, beautiful silver cups with ''Hohenzollern" enamelled on them; gold and ' silver cigarette - cases on which his majesty's autograph is traced in small diamonds, and small compasses, enclosed in gold and silver boxes, with "Hohenzollern" enamelled on them, besides larger and more valuable gifts. A number of cuff links, brooches and scarf pins with the initial "H" in diamonds, are also included among the presents. The latter are intended for less important persons. Official secrecy is maintained as to what the emperor and prince Henry will present to the president, rear-admiral R. D. Evans and Miss Alice Roosevelt, though it is well known that his majesty will send Miss Roosevelt a jewelled bracelet and prince Henry will probably offer the president a fine hunting gun, with interchangeable shot, and rifle barrels, and its accompanying equipment. An Insurance Trust NEW YORK, January 23.���A provisional agreement has been signed whereby the Imperial Insurance Company, the Alliance Assurance Company and the Imperial Life Insurance Company are to- be amalgamated, cables the London correspondent of the Journal of Commerce.

Mr. -Teller,-of_-Golorado,_-called_-up_his--res^ olution introduced yesterday providing for the intervention of the United States government in behalf of commandant Scheepers of the Boer army, sentenced to death by the British South African authorities. Mr. Teller said that since introducing the resolution, however, he had been informed by the Associated Press that the death sentence upon Scheepers had been executed last Saturday. He had been criticized by senators, he alleged, for Introducing the bill, "lt is said," continued Mr. Teller, "that the resolution might be offensive to the government of Great Britain, but if the Geneva convention means anything, it means that we should intervene in such a case as this." Mr. Teller read the articles of the Genevea convention applying to the case and said: "It was the business of this government to have ascertained the facts regarding this case, and to have protested against this execution." In view of the execution of commandant Scheepers, he asked that the resolution be postponed indefinitely. Showing Some Consideration MONTREAL, January 23.���The Herald's London cable says: "Lord Strathcona in reply to a deputation from the Bristol chamber of commerce, advocating the claims of Bristol as a terminal port for the new Canadian mall service, has proposed to lay the matter before the Dominion government. Lord Strathcona will be a guest at-the Royal Navy Club's banquet on February 4th. Great Britain was never more desirous of strengthening commercial ilnks with colonies than she is at present. The decision of the Manchester Liners Company to increase the service with Canada gives great satisfaction in Lancashire. Criticism of the Le Roi No. 2 The B. C. Review, a London mining journal which gives considerable attention to Kootenay mining ventures, in cemmenting upon the report and financial statement of the Le Roi No.. 2, says: "The balance sheet of the Le Roi No. 2 from June 1st, 1900, to September last has now been issued, and accom- panyipg it is a somewhat intricate report by the auditor. This report bears out the statements we made in our issue of June, 15th, when we wrote: "The announcement of a five per cent dividend by the Le Roi No. 2 was somewhat of a surprise to the market, and was not unnaturally regarded as a piece of financial diplomacy in view of the approaching proceedings in regard to the liquidation of the B. A. C. It is obvious from the returns issued by the company that unless the ore values in this mine are very substantially higher than the Le Roi the mine has not earned sufficient profits to pay ��30,000," as it now transpires that the total profit earned up to September 30th last only amounted to ��27,275! There is one poinf that needs explanation, viz; the payuienfe Of ��30,000 as dividend, although 12,000 shares owned by the B. A. C. were only partly paid up. The directors, it appears, received ��1,500, being 5 per cent of the profits of the company���which had not been earned! It is stated that the Le Roi company had claimed $6,000 against the Le Roi No. 2 for development work done, which claim is not admitted by the directors. There appears to be some slight discrepancy here, as Mr. Frecheville states, that work costing $20,000 has been done by the Le Roi in opening up the Josie and No. 1 claims, a piece of generosity on the part of the parent company_for which they only desire to charge the Le Roi No. 2 less than one-third if the cost. The uncertainty in regard to the smelter charges on the Le Roi No. 2 ores shows that those in charge of the smelter were either incompetent or unbusinesslike. They commenced by charging $5 a -ton for freight and treatment, aftewards raising it to ?6, ahd later making a further addition of $1.98 per ton, which the present directors consider to be $1.38 too much. The company appears to have managed its indebtedness to the Bank of Montreal, but the position of affairs as shown in the balance sheet shows that some time must elapse before another dividend can be distributed. Was not a Condor Boat VICTORIA, January 23.���The ship's boat, found by Indians off Barclay Sound, as reported by the revenue cutter Grant, was not one of the Condor's boats, nor that of a warship. Investigation by captain Davis of this city, pilot of the Grant, showed that tho boat was a double ended, clinker built ship's boat, such as those on a coasting vessel. It was intact but bore no marks. No orders have yet been received for the Egeira, although constant inquiries regarding the Condor are made at the admiralty.

AVilson and captain Clark, who will represent the army and navy at tho coronation of king Edward, talked with the president today in a general way concern- OccasienedTuf Surprise ~" NEW YORK, January 23.���According to a London correspondent the decision of the isthmian canal commission in favor of the Panama canal route does not occasion surprise in London. The Pall Mall Gazette says: "The French company could not well help themselves, since they succeeded to an inheritance which had been mortgaged beyond redemption by the rascality of another organisation. When the United States takes the business in hand it will not tolerate party politics which takes the explosive form of a pitched battle and the killing of a governor." ROSSLAND, January 23.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The vote of the members of the Rossland Miners' Union was taken today upon the "question whether or not the strike should be called off so far as it affects the Le Roi minj.. The voting was by ballot and the result has not been announced so that it can only be said that up to the present the strike has not been declared off. A The result of the balloting Is known only to the members of the-union's executive and it is not expected that any announcement with respect to the same will be made until after some further negotiations .with the^management of the Le Roi mine. : ^rppi. tjiat it is assumed thfit $e"wi0"!e fe'apefvii Of securing some concessions.. The voting today in nor way effects the striks so far as it applies to the lie Roi No. 2, the War Eagle, Centre Star: and some of the other properties in* the camp. The union is treating with the Le Roi management only, and with it only in so far as the mine is concerned, as whether the strike is lifted at Rossland or not the situation at the Northport smelter will remain the same. , ROSSLAND, January 53.���[Associated Press.]���The result of the ballot taken today, as to calling off the strike against the Le Roi mine, is not known tonight Members of the union have been informed that the executive committee will publish the outcome in due time. A straight majority of votes cast is all that, is required to discontinue the strike and it is generally conceded that the affirmative was^ strongly supported. Union men take this view of the matter and are looking forward with satisfaction to resuming work. Concerning the contemplated. settlement of the. union's,difficulties with .the management of the' I_e Roi mine, The Evening World this afternoon says: At the regular meeting of the Rossland Miners' Union held last evening, a full attendance of the members were ���niesent. -������: The executive commitee submitted a report of the .negotiations which had. been carried on with the mine managers in regard to a settlement of the strike. A definite proposal being in the hands of the committee in regard to the conditions the Le Roi company would be willing to extend in case a settlement could be affected, a resolution was moved that the executive committee of the union be empowered to negotiate and complete a settlement with the Le Roi management on the conditions imposed. ��� A vote by secret ballot is being taken today on this resolution, poll being opened from 10 a. m. to 7 p. m., in order to allow every member an opportunity to express his opinion. Much pleasure was expressed at the courteous and friendly manner in which the represen- tatives"i6fiithei'unionaihad"b-en=ireceived during the negotiations leading up to ithe proposal. WESTERNERS GIVE TROUBLE the emperor. The replies to these addresses were deliverd by prince Ching. The emperor was silent throughout the adience and remained stolid and impassive. Formerly the emperor replied to the ministers in Manchuria, and the prince interpreted what he said. Today the emperor appeared as an automaton, and secretaries of the foreign ministers who were present report that ho looked weaker. The ministers of the foreign powers entered the forbidden city at the main gate, leaving their military escorts outside. At the second gate they entered yellow chairs, like those furnished for the princes and secretaries. They walked through the inner courts of the forbidden circle and their cortege retired from the city by the east sate.

MAKES A COOP SUGGESTION For Control of Corporations WASHINGTON, January 23.���The industrial commission, after years spent in investigating the industrial condition of the country with the view of making recommendations calculated to assist in the solution, of the problem of the times, has completed and sent to the printer its final report. It is expected that this report will be sent to congress within the next few days. The final document will be" a volume of about 1000 pages, and will be a review of the evidence centain>dm the previously publish.ed eighteen volumes. In this last Jflw.me th.e various questions which have peep considered in the course" of the in- OUtry aye discussed under separate headings ai*d recommendations are made. On th- question of. trusts the commission followed closely upon tho recommendations laid down by the president in his annual message. Supervision by the national government Is recommended. The most radical specific step suggested in that direction by the reports Is that the books of all corporations be at all times subject to inspection, as are the books of national banks. This, it is claimed, would go far toward protecting the public against impositions ln the way of capitalization and other, devices. The commission discusses "government ownership of railroads and the telegraph lines, but does not recommend such a departure from present methods. Condemned the QounpU'-s Action GRAND PORKS, January 23.���The Grand Forks board of trade tonight adopted a re- s/elutipn expressing regret at the action of the retiring city: council in voting itself a bonus of $1200: These officers wore elected: 13.

Commission's Enquiry Opened NEW YORK, January 23.���The state railroad commission today began its investigation of the recent accident in the Park avenue tunnel of the New York Central rail- w,a7', ln which seventeen persons were killed.

Several Will be Discharged HALIFAX, January 23.���The western men who form a portion of the Second Canadian Mounted Rifles, in camp at Willow Grove, are in condition approaching insubordination. In the flrst place the men are put out because the eastern contingent, though they arrived in Halifax after the western men, were sent away flrst on the Manhattan. Just as soon as they sailed they began drawing $1.25 per day, while the western men are still receiving 25 cents per day. On Saturday the men were given a few hours down town. A few of them imbibed a little too freely and as a result got into the ''cooler." The discipline at the camp is, most severe, and as a result ten more men have been discharged during the past two days for trival breaches of discipline. It is just possible the Victorian's departure may be delayed, on account of the ugly feeling which.has broken out between some of the men and the officers, until the most turbulent can be'weeded out and replaced by new men. The number which may be so discharged is said to be in the neighborhood of fifty.

January 30th. Several changes were decided upon, and in other matters the moral support of the executive is pledged in the convention to secure changes sought. The body of the circular, giving the decisions arrived at, follows: Editors at convention���The executive at its former meeting decided to admit to the convention as members thereof Liberal editors of newspapers supporting the Ottawa government. About a dozen editors in the province were noti- * fled by the secretary and in response thereto two applications for admission in that capacity have been received. It was, therefore, resolved that the application of editors for admission, which must be received by the executive in advance, will be passed upon by the credentials committee, which will have the power to admit or reject any applicant who is known not to be a supporter of the Liberal cause. Inequality of representation���In respect to the Greenwood: Liberal Association's protest against the inequality of the representation, which is based upon the present representations in the legislature, the following decision was arrived at: "Recognizing the justice of the demand of up country constituencies for increased voting power at conventions, we recommend that the voting powers of each constituency-be based on the number of votes cast at the last provincial election; the final decision of the question to rest with the convention." The executive will press upon the convention the adoption of the above principle. The number,of delegates to be elected will in any event remain as at present (three for each member of the legislature), but the convention will, if it recognizes the justice of the claim, allot to each constituency the voting strength which it would undoubtedly have had at the convention had there been a redistribution of seats according to population. This is as far as the executive thought it wise to go; The Rossland and Nelson district Liberals will have the support of the executive in pressing their claim upon the convention, which we have every reason to believe will act in the best interests of"the='Libei'al^cause"in-this-as-in=all other matters. Date of meeting.���In response to a request WINNIPEG, January 23.-Thousands of people were unable to gain admittance to the big auditorium rink tonight, so great was the interest taken in the second match, for the Stanley cup hockey championship between the Wellingtons of Toronto and the Victorias of this city.

Captured a Counterfeiter SAN FRANCISCO, January 23.���Ulysses G. Blair and his.wife' have been arrested for passing counterfeit coin. In their hand- somo home at Fruitdale was found a com-' pleto outfit for making bogus dollars. Blair admits his guilt and says that his wife as- '" sisted him in passing the.coin, getting rid, .he says, of 'about' $60*0 "per month. -Both San Francisco and Oakland have been - Hooded with spurious silver dollars, the most perfect counterfeits that have been seen in this part of the country.

He was caught in the very act of paying bad dollars to a bookmaker, and over one hundred similar pieces wero found in his parlor. Todav tha man and., wife will be arraigned before United States commissioner Heacock and charges of making and distributing spurious money will be placed against them. from the Victoria Liberal Association the date of the meeting of the convention was adjourned one week, from January 30th to February 6th. The Victoria Liberals are in tho middle of a Dominion election and stated that they could not call a meeting lo select delegates before the 29th (polling is on tho 2-th). without interfering with other arrangements and possibly injuring the prospects or the Liberal candidate for election. This adjournment for one week for this reason will, we trust, be approved of by all parties. The credentials committee.���No change wus made in tills regard. The necessity for a credentials committee to begin Us work ns soon a.s possible after the delegates arrive In Vancouver on February 6th. must be. apparent to everv person. The selection of two sets or delegates, as at Nanaimo, emphasizes this fact. All those matters may be considered by tho convention after it is convened if it dems it wise to do so. The executive has onlv one object In view���to make the convention a success in order that tho Liberal party mav become united and strong, and that thereby the cause of good government may be promoted. Says Paterick is Innocent ST. LOUIS, January 23.���John T. Milliken, a wealthy chemist, mine owner.and capitalist of this city, who is a brother-in-law of Albert T. Patrick, tho lawyer on trial in New York on the charge of murdering millionaire William Marsh Rice, today made a statement to the Associated Press in regard to the report that he had been offered a bribe to have Patrick compromise the will of 1900. He said: "A short time before I was called to New York and offered $50,000 by certain attorneys to have Patrick compromise the will of 1900. We declined to accept any offer that would not exonerate Mr. Patrick of the charge of murder and stop the prosecution. A reply of such character was made to our refusal that led me to believe we could get $250,000 if we would compromise. We again declined, as no one was in a position to deliver what we wanted and the negotiations ended." Mr. Milliken declares belief in Patrick's innocence and said he would defray the cost of the defence.

Negotiations looking to the settlement or" the strike at the Le Roi mine are being reopened. The- sentiment of the members of the union, upon the question of lifting the strike so far as it applies to the Le Roi mine, was taken by ballot, yesterday but the result of the voting will not be anounced until the completion of the negotiations with the Le Roi management. From the published report of the meeting of the union it is evident that a settlement of the union's difficulties with the Le Roi management be expected. EXPECTS RISE IN COPPER It is evident that the warring factions of the Liberal party in Victoria" have not buried the hatchet. Joseph Martin has made his peace with can- , didate Riley, and av'11 support him, but he will not consent to be yoked up with senator Templeman. Both he and the senator have given to the press their i espective versions of th. demand made by Martin upon the Victoria executive, with respect to the sending of Victoria representatives to the approaching Liberal convention. In his effort the senator did his best to make it appear that the executive had turned Joseph down. This . Jcseph in turn characterizes as untrue, lie admits that the senator did his best to turn him down, but infers that he -_--__>'���__ -P-P-t strong enough. Martin -claims^ to have received from candidate Riley satisfactory assurances that delegates will be sent to the convention, which is equal to saying that the senator no longer controls the Liberal machine. If what Martin says is true, there is trouble ahead for Bodwell in his con- . test for the vacant Victoria seat in the legislature. Victoria cannot play fast and loose with the approaching convention. If the Victoria organization is represented in the convention it will . have to be bound by the findings of the convention, and one of these it is confidently predicted will be the adoption of party lines in provincial politics. This would probably bring out colonel Prior as a candidate against Bodwell in Victoria, and would cut the half-and- half following of Bodwell in two, if it did not result in the complete retirement of the champion of the Hill forces in the legislature. It is understood that such a combination of circumstances would not be distasteful to "fighting Joe," and-it is not unlikely that they will be brought about. The split in the labor party at Nanaimo has assumed serious proportions - and has resulted in the complete estrangement of Ralph Smith and J. H. Hawthornthwaite. One of the causes of rupture is Ralph Smith's position with rtppect to the Bodwell campaign, which is unsatisfactory to Hawthorthwaite in that he sees in the return of Bodwell interests the domination of the corporation influence in the legislature. He further charges Smith with making the cause of labor secondary to that of the Liberal party since his removal from the provincial to the federal arena. Hawthornthwaite stands for a middle of the road policy with respect to the two political parties and in his seat in tho legislature expresses his intention of opposing the Dunsmuir government ns well as the Bodwell faction. The The Mining Journal's View The London Mining Journal, which enjoys the reputation of being very conservative, in a recent issue holds out hopes of a gradual advance in copper during the present year. The Journal's comments upon the probable future of the copper market present the European phase of the question and are.interest- in*r: During the flrst quarter of 1901 the course of the copper market was practically uneventful, and with the contraction of the continental demand values fluctuated in a downward direction until "cash" standard sagged away from ��72 17s. 6d. to ��67 10s. In the second three months values remained at something like a uniform level, and the market was favorably influenced by rumors as to a projected arrangement for a,limitation of production between the Amalgamated and Rio Tiiito; but these satisfactory tendencies were entirely destroyed by the steel strike in the United States, which for the moment entirely paralized the copper consuming industries. No sooner Avas this ever than rumors were set afloat regarding the situation of the Amalgamated Company, as revealed in the statements of an ex-employe, pointing to the existence of huge secret stocks, and though little attention was paid to this at flrst, it soon became evident -that-the-company���was���burdened^Avitlr enormous stocks, and the unsatisfactory situation of the concern was further confirmed by the announcement of a reduced dividend. Meanwhile the restriction policy has been carried out so rigorously that the Anaconda mine- were practically shut down*, and many thousands of miners were thrown out of employment at the Butte and other mines. Prices slumped tremendously. In September they fell from ��68 2s. 6d. to ��60 10s., and still the battle Avaged fiercely around the situation of the Amalgamated Company. Tlie position continued to be involved in an impenetrable cloud of mystery. Explanations were rife as to the cause of the sh mp, and Avhilc some put it down to the difficulties of the Amalgamated, others ascribed it to the manoeuvres of the Amalgamated themselves, Avho vere trying to bring about the ruin of the Spanish concerns. However, this might be, it was clear that the American combine was- playing a desperate game, either against the underselling of its rivals, or, in its turn, trying to crush its competitors by depreciating the metal. Probably wc shall not have long to wait before knowing the true causes of these extraordinary manoeuvres, the most curious and incomprehensible that have marked the history of the copper trade for many years past. For the moment they continue to seriously affect the position of the metal, less on account of the nctual position of copper, for the statistical position is by no means unsatisfactory, that of the mystery which is hanging around the operations, of the company, and is proving such a powerful factor in dealings of the bears. The close of the year has seen copper in a state of collapse, and the price has dropped to ��49���that is to say, a figure at which the majority of producers must find it impossible to work at a profit. As the situation cannot get much worse we can reasonably look forward to an Improvement in the early future. We are the more disposed to believe this as there are recently been further talk of a re-opening of negotiations between Rockefeller and Rothchilds for a restriction of production under conditions more favorable to the Spanish companies, and it is stated that the majority of the directors of Rio Tinto arc now favorable to an understanding with the DELICATE TINTS The newest "thing" in. correspondence papers is This paper is unlike any other.

Showrooms Mason & Rlccta Pianos. Amalgamated. It is also said that the newly formed Copper Range Consolidated Company with a capital of $28,- 500,000, which Avill compete with the Calumet and Hecla, will probably enter the combine, and if these arrangements are carried out the Amalgamated Avill have succeeded to a very large measure in controlling the production of metal, and this may see the beginning of another upward movement in values. The situation, hoAvever, is an extremely difficult one, for though a system of regulating production at a time when the supply tends to enormously outstrip the demand may be expedient, and even necessary, the experience of the last six months has shown that the controlling of the market by powerful combine is calculated to have serious and dangerous consequences. Speculation is inseparable from an attempt to "control" a metal, and to this extent it is to be feared that it will always have a disturbing infl- ence upon the market. On the other hand, it is clear that the production cannot go on increasing without seriously affecting the position of the companies, many of whom are even now unable to make a profit, and it is probable that, the struggle between the Amalgamated and the European producers Avill result in a compromise : which, while giving the latter a certain freedom of action, will result in an arrangement for the maintenance of something definite known about the character of these arrangements, one of the chief elements of blind speculation will be removed, and the copper market Avill settle doAvn on a steadier bssis. The gradual recovery of trade may also be expected to have something to do with the ha**dening of copper, for the reorganizing of the manufacturing industries on the continent will certainly result in an increasing demand for the metal, and though the progress may not be rapid, it will at least have a steadying effect on the {copper market, and will prepare the way for a recovery from the exceptional depression of the past year. ST0RYETTES In an after-dinner speech at the London Savage Club, recently on the purity of the English tongue, Winston Churchill ' remarked: "I have written five books���the same as Moses���but I will not press the comparison." ��� It is said that when Theddcus, some twenty years ago, was painting his famous portrait of tho pope, his holiness exclaimed: "How old you make me look." "But, are you not old?" asked the artist. "Ah, yes," said the pope, "but the papacy, the idea which I represent, is always young." One of the briefest naval dispatches ever penned was captain Walton's message to his chief, admiral Byng, after the defeat of the Spanish fleet off Cape Passaro in 171f>, and it ran as follows: "Sir���1 have taken and burnt as per margin, going for Syrar cuse, and am, sir, your obedient servant, J Walton." Charles the Second once granted an audience to the curtly Quaker, William Peniv, who, as was his custom, entered the royal "preseiice With hi.*> hat on. The humorous sovereign quietly laid aside his own, which occasioned Penn's inquiry: "Friend Charles, why dost thou remove thy hat?" "lt is the custom," he said, "in this place for one person only to remain covered." An attorney named Else, rather diminutive in stature, and not particularly respectable In his appearance, once met Joseph Jekyll, the noted English wit and humorist and solicitor-general. "Sir," said he, "I havo heard you have culled me. a pettifogging scoundrel! Have you donii so, sir?" "Sir," said .lekyll, with a look of contempt, "I never said you were a pettifogger or a scoundrel, but 1 said iittle Else.' " Charles Stewart, a British lawyer, has published a book of remlniscenses, in which he tells the following story of Tennyson, whom he found self-conscious and accessible to (lattery: "A little niece of mine was one day standing beside his chair; he lifted her up and placed her on his kmV* for half a minute, and put her down, saying: 'Now you can say you have sat on Tennyson's knee.' " An Irishman who was charged with stealing a watch from a fellow citizen, stoutly denied the impeachment in court, and brought a. counter accusation against his. accuser for assault ahd battery committed with a frying pan. "Why did you allow tho prosecutor, who is a smaller man than yourself to assault you without resistance?" asked the judge, "had you nothing in your hand to defend yourself?" "Bedaii, your honor," said Pat; "I had his watch, but what was that against a frying pan?" or ��__ _0^ _<n_ _Z_ 00' ^ ' 00' 00 ' 00' ���0 ' 00 00 .00.00.0���* .00 .00.00.00,00.00.00.00.00.

Oppose Cuban Concessions AVASHINGTON, January 23.���The Cuban reciprocity hearings before the ways' and means committee today were devoted chiefly to the cane sugar interests of Louisiana, which are opposing the proposed concessions to Cuba on the grOuild: that it Will cripple the sugar production of that state. A number of the large planters and manufacturers of the state were present, and the allied interests in beet sugar and tobacco, which are similarly opposed to concessions to Cuba, were, also numerously represented. The opening statement in both of the Louisiana interests was made by J. D. Hill of New Orleans, an extensive planter. He asserted that the sugar trust was behind the Cuban movement, and presented statistics to show the result of concessions to Cuba, making the sugar trust tlie real benificiary, constituting that institution a collossal monopoly in Cuba.

HE QUESTIONS PROHIBITION What Professor Short Says The January issue of The Queen's Quarterly contains an article in the prohibition issue which is generally conceded to come from the pen of pro- '���" fessor Shortt It is as follows: The decision of the Privy Council in the case of the Manitoba liquor act has . doubtless determined the right' of the Province to pass prohibitory liquor laWs. It has not, however, determined the wisdom or expediency of passing .- such laws: Moreover, in the light of some recent discussion, it seems necessary to point out once more that pro- .' hibition has as little connection with true temperance as persecution for her- * csy has with true religion. It is coming to be admitted by even ..the most intemperate advocates of pro- ' hibition that unless the great majority ' ol the people of a country are already .' of temperate habits prohibitory liquor laws have little chance of being enforc- ' ed. But, when once the great majori- , ty of the people have risen to a condi- ' tion of moral self-control, as regards the .;. use of intoxicating liquor, it would seem V quite unnecessary to cast a slur upon [ their moraltity for the sake of coercing SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits.

Mr. Tindley says that Atlin is not much good as a placer country, as the hydraulic interests have killed the placer diggings. But it would astonish the world as a gold and copper producer by hydraulicing and quartz mining. STORY OF BOER CRUELTY a small minority into artificial sobriety y-quite lacking in the elements of per- ..- sonal virtue. If a people were falling ��� in the moral scale, steadily losing their .:; self-control and becoming more and .'. more intemperate, there might be some / excuse for reverting to prohibition as ' a last resort,*-, in order to save the people from themselves and consequent destruction. But it is admitted that in _uch a social condition prohibition : could not be enforced, without, surrendering to some alien power all the more - important social and political liberties. When we look back upon the social history of Canada and consider what great progress our country has made /.in the matter of temperance, it seems increditible that anyone should lose i confidence in the efficiency of the instruments and methods which have ac- ; complished so. much, under far more unpromising conditions than those >. which prevail today. To the Methodist church, more than - to any other agency, is due the credit . for having stemmed the tide of drunk- "'* eriness and brutality which prevailed in f'many*- districts ' of English -Canada in their earlier days. An appeal was made, simply but strongly, to the better elements iu human nature, and the appeal was not in vain. Slowly but surely intemperance, itself the result as well as the occasion of other social evils, was reduced, and the whole moral tone of ' the country elevated. It is true that many of those who wrought so earnestly for ' temperance in the earlier stages of the country's betterment longed for that shorter method with dissenters which prohibition seemed to promise. But,'''fortunately for the spiritual progress of the people, they continued to promote a moral end by moral means. It would* surely be a great pity if, under ^"m-"ch^m6re~favofable^conditionsrIfth'ei successors of-those devoted social reformers should, in their conflict with the evil of intemperance, abandon "the whole armor of God-' and resort to the primitive .bludgeon of prohibition, ln vain shall we seek a short-cut to the goal of all moral progress by methods which' virtually deny the fact that man Is a spiritual being, and can only be developed by spiritual, not mechanical, ni qcesses. Quartz Mining at Atlin H.' Finley has arrived at Vancouver from Atlin for the purpose of raising ��� capital for the working of his quartz claims on Atlin lake, 30 miles from that city. Mr. Findley's account of these claims are more sensational than anything that has come down from the Klondike since the beginning of the boom. He says that he and his associates own seven copper claims in the locality mentioned, and that, one of these claims has a lead of. 600 feet in width and the ore averages 6 per cent in copper, ?10 in gold and $2 in silver. In. places enormous deposits of pure native copper outcrop. He also shows specimens of free gold ore from another . .of;.the. claims. Across the lake from these -properties Clark, the Montana copper king, has taken, up three claims, and the White Pass railway are surveying for a smelter on the portage between Taku and Atlin lakes. Frank Breeze, son of J. D. Breeze, Vancouver, has also struck it very rich on Pine creeks, where he and his partners have exposed ore on their hydraulic claim running $1,000 to the ton. They are running their ore over the plates of the Featherstone mill. The extent of the deposit is not known, but has been proved far enough to put a big fortune in sight for them. The Boulder creek hydraulic claim, owned by the Delemare syndicate, is proving up wonderfully rich. Mr. Delemare when leaving for France stated to a certain mining engineer that if he Wished to work his claim on Boulder creek in a certain direction not yet explored, during his absence, he could take out what he could get in gold and have it in exchange for developing the ���property. The man struck it rich at Surrendered Prisooers Shot The London Times contains the following official correspondence on the conduct of the Boers at Bakenlaagte, a synopsis of which has already appeared in telegraphis dispatches: From lord Kitchener to the under sec- : retary of state of war: Pretoria, November 9, 1901. Sir: I have the honor to enclose a report by major-Young, D. S. O., Royal Field Artillery, respecting the conduct of the Boers to the officers and men wounded in action with colonel Benson's column at Bakenlaagte. I have, etc., KITCHENER. From major N. E. Young, D. S. O., Royal ��� Field Artillery, to the Military secretary, army headquarters. Pretoria, November 7, 1901. Sir: I have the honor to report that in accordance with your instructions I have seen the wounded officers and men of colonel Benson's column now at Elandsfontein. Out of a total of 147 wounded noncommissioned officers and men seen by me, 54 had not been in the hands of the Boers. Of the remaining 93 men, 18 informed me tl*.ey had nothing to complain of, and in some cases they had met with kind treatment of ah active nature. All represented that the commandant and those in subordinate command had protected the wounded in their immediate neighborhood. Seventy-five non-commissioned officers and men made complaint of ill- treatment of a more or less serious nature; nearly all of these had been robbed of whatever money they possessed, also of their watches and private letters. A very large proportion stated that their boots had been removed and in those cases where the leg had been broken this caused intense agony. One man| trooper Jamieson of the Scottish Horse, whose arm was shattered, suffered terrible pain from the way in which his bandolier was removed; his arm has since been amputated. Many had been deprived of other articles of clothing, hats, jackets and socks, in some cases being left with an old shirt and a pair of drawers only. One man, gunner Masham, 84th battery, Royal Field Artillery, was de-- prived of ��3, a watch and chain, and his warm jacket, and shirt; the process of removing the latter was Srery painful, as he was shot in the chest. Sergeant Ketley- of the 7th Hussars, attached to the Scottish Horse, states__that after having been wounded in the head aud" hip, he was shot with his own carbine in the arm by a Boer who was kneeling over him, because he was unable to raise his arms when ordered to do so. There are two evidences���private Prickett, King's Royal Rifle Corps, and corporal Gower, 4th Battalion King's Royal Rifle Corps, 25th Mounted Infantry���to the fact that a man named privato Foster, of their corps, was killed at five yards' range, though ho had put up his hands in token of surrender and was unarmed. There is a consensus of evidence that the wounded lying round the guns were fired on by Boers, who had already, dis- iarmed them, for a long period after all firing in their neighborhood from our side had ceased. This was done whenever a wounded rean moved, and in this way captain Lloyd, a staff officer, who had been wounded in the leg, met his death. Corporal Atkins, whose fingers had been shot away, states that he was ordered to show how to work the gun, but got AUCTION SALE AUCTION SALE AUCTION SALE AUCTION SALE AUCTION SALE AUCTION SALE Capital (paid up) - S2.600.000 Rest - - - $1,850,000 HEAD OFFICE.

Such of the officers who fell into the hands of the Boers met with similar treatment to the men. Lieutenant Bircham, King's Royal Rifle Corps, informed me that while traveling in the same ambulance with lieutenant Martin, King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, since deceased, the latter told him that while he was lying on the ground with a shattered thigh, his leg was twisted completely round, so that the spur could be more easily taken off. Even the late colonel Benson was not respected, though he was protected for some time by a man in authority, even his spurs, gaiters and private papers were removed. I forward herewith two specimen rounds of ammunition taken from the bandolier of a wounded Boer by private Robertson, 2nd Scottish Horse. They are Mauser cartridges. I attach statements taken down by me from the officers and men in rela- ion to the most serious cases. ; I was impressed with the idea that the statements made to me were true and not wilfully exaggerated, so simply were they made. There seems no doubt tl*at though the Boer commandants have the will they have no longer, the power to repress outrage and murder on the part of their subordinates. ��� N. E.

Thousands at Stake j If it is true, as has been reported,1 that the Crow's Nest Coal Company in-; tend to attempt to avoid the workings of the law so far as it effects the inter-, ests. of the government in the one-fourth1 share of the Fernie townsite, it is well enough for the people to be on their guard. Under the law of the province the government is entitled to one-fourth of every townsite laid out since this clause went into effect, unless the lands were crown granted prior to the pas-, sage of the law. The Fernie townsite is subject to these provisions, and it is understood that when the governmnt selected one of the best blocks in that town as its first choice, the coal company signified a willingness to pay the price paid by. the original purchasers which, of course, would cut off the government from the benefits of any in- -creased valuation. Naturally; the coal company is in a tight box, since it sold the lands in the townsite under contract for deed. So far as the property owners are concerned, they are protected by their contracts with the coal company, and it is simply a question.between the coal company and the government. It has been intimated that if a settlement' is not reached satisfactory to the coal company, it proposes to attempt to secure legislation that will give it the relief sought���in other words, to have the government pass a law that will beat the government out of the increase in values in the town of Fernie, to which the government is justly entitled. It has been reported that the coal company is making good the deficit =on^the-Nelson-Miner-and=one-or-two other papers in the province. If it is to be interested in much legislation this winter, this fact may account for its journalistic ambitions.���Cranbrook Herald. ��� Price Will be Lower J. H. Turner, agent-general for the province In London, in a recent interview confirmed the statement that Hon. Mr. Prentice was not going over to float the loan, whicli task will consequently be undertaken by Mr. Turner. Mr. Turner also confirms the announcement that the loan will only bo for a small amount���some ��400,000, which will be just sufllcient to clear off tho province overdraft. Mr. Turner is now engaged on the preliminary work, and expects to issue the prospectus in the spring, the brokers and other financial authorities having expressed the opinion that it will be tho most opportune time for the flotation. At present Mr. Turner i.s unable to give any definite statement ns to the issue price, but it will be considerably below that of the previous Issue, viz., 90, and will, ln all probability not be above 90. At the present time British Columbia 3 per cents are quoted at 91 to 93, which Is an advance of two points over the quotation of a month previous.

It is understood that the claims in question must be based on alleged acts or omissions of the government or otti- cials of the nation against which the claims are brought to tbe detriment of tlie personal interest of a citizen or citizens of a nation which undertakes to press the claims. Tim project looks to the making of a treaty whereby tlio signatory nations will oblige themselves for a period of live years to submit such claims to the permanent arbitration court of tlie UagiK^ The treaty, if adopted, will in fact be tantamount lo a compulsory arbitration convention applied exclusively to pecuniary claims. The United Slates delegation is willing to agree to this plan under certain conditions, it Is recognized that it would, in many respects, bo advantageous to Airerieans residing in some Spanish-American countries, of which the most protracted diplomatic, correspond- on co fails to secure settlement. Tliere are some hitches, however, to tho final approval of th project in committee. One is that the Mexican delegates desire the insertion of a clause to the effect that'claimants, before having recourse to Tho I-ln^ue court, must prove that thoy have exhausted all legal means of redress In tho country against which the claim is brought. Again, it is recognized that The Hague court may not be open to all nations of America, and for certain cases it may be necessary to create a special tribunal. The composition of such tribunal causes some perplexity. It is hoped, however, that these difficulties may be disposed of so as to enable the project to be reported by the committee to the conference before adjournment. GREAT NORTHERN SYSTEM.

The Masons of the city have decided to givo a ball in the opera house on the evening of February Cth. DEEP MINING IN AFRICA Miss Mary Walker of Winnipeg, formerly principal of tlie Dufferin school in that city, arrived in'Nelson last evening on a visit to her sister, Mrs. F. C. Winkler. There was a special meeting of tho S. O. E. last evening when a number of the members were exalted to the 'White Rose degree, after which a social time was spent. In the Bunyan series last evening the Fox rink defeated that of J. H. Wallace by a score of 17 to 7. The game was much more ever) than the score would indicate until'after the end of the tenth end, when it stood 10 to 7. The rinks were composed of the following: AV. Clayton, J. Spry, Dr. Hall and J. H. Fox; and J. O'Shea, D. S. Stanley, J. F. Weir and.J. H. Wallace. The meeting of tho club to consider matters in connection with the Winnipeg bonspiel will be called at 7:30 o'clock this evonin*r. The members of the board of tho Nelson library havo decided to give a conversazione and ball at tho phair hotel on the evening of February 11th for the purpose of raising funds.for the library, for which tickets will be sold at $1. It has.been arranged.to have a concert program from S:30 to 10 o'clock to be followed by a dance, music for which will be supplied by Herr Steiner's orchestra. The receipts of the library during the past year have not come up to those of former years and the board has taken this means of raising the wind. It Is a case of getting the money or closing up the library.' A meeting of the members of the Baptist, church was held in tho church last evening to consider the resignation of the Rev. J. Xi. Morgan, which was rendered early In the month of December. It appears that a call has been extended to Mr. Morgan from, the Baptist church of Rcssland, and asj church affairs do not appear to be as prosperous as thoy might be in Nelson, he has' decided to sever his connection with the; Nelson church, of which he has been in charge one year. The resignation was accepted, although no provision has been; made to fill the vacancy. Mr. Morgan has tho matter of accepting the call to Ross-; land still under consideration. : Grand Musical Festival The oratorio "Stabat Mater" by Rossini, which has been under rehearsal for production next Thursday in the grand musical festival at tho opera house, promises to bo capably and efficiently rendered. Tlie chorus has been selected from the church choirs of the city and individual singers and has no connection with tho Nelson Operatic Society. The surplus, if any, will bo devoted to the funds of the Presbyterian church choir, who have assumed tho responsibility for the whole festival. It is to be hoped thai lovers of this class of music will take advantage of this opportunity and attend In largo and appreciative numbers. The "Hallelujah chorus" from the "Messiah." and Mrs. Parry's solo "Ave Maria." by Gounod, are gems In themselves, not to mention the instrumental pieces to be given by the orchestra under Herr Steiner. Tho plan opens at McDonald's confectionery store on Monday. DEATH PENALTY PROVIDED For Active Anarchists WASHINGTON, January 23.���Tho details of a bill restricting" anarchy and anarchists was practically-determined on today by a special committee of members of the house judiciary committee appointed to consider this subject. _ne language of some of the provisions is yet to be settled, but all of the essential features of the forthcoming measure are determined upon. Tho measure will provide the death penalty for an attempt to kill or assault the president or any one in line of succession for the presidency. An accessory before tho fact is to be treated as a principal, and an accessory after the fact is to be punished in a less degree than a principal. Any person who counsels or advises or advocates tho assaulting or the killing of any officer of the United Slates shall be fined or imprisoned. No alien who advocates an overthrow of organized government, or who is affiliated with an organization holding such views is to be admitted to the country. Provision is also made for the punishment of those conspiring in this country against a foreign ruler. The special committee will probably report to the house Is expected soon thereafter. Findings of Peace Conference MEXICO CITY, January 23.���The project for an international court of claims is the most important that remains to be decided bv tho Pan-American conference. The object of tha project is to provide a tribunal for settlement of pecuniary claims brought against any one of the signatory nations by the citizens of any other when the government of the nation to which the claimant belongs has failed, through Its diplo- | Conditions Favorable to It The publication of the recent statistics concerning the gold mines of the Transvaal enables 11s to form some estimate of what financial return Great Britain may expect {or the expenditure of so much blood and treasure in South Africa, writes a Cape Town correspondent. During the eight months ending in August, ISOii, subsequent to which the oncbreak of the war interfered with the active working of the mines, they produced ��12,485,032, at which rate tho year's production would have been ostensibly ��1S,727,548, but by means of the progressive monthly production shown it would have actually amounted to twenty millions sterling or over ono. hundred million dollars. Of this enormous output 71 per cent, was obtained from what is known as the central section, extending a tnije ahU'a half west and about eight miles east of Johannesburg, while a* j>er cent was derived from tlie deep level properties within that section. The total gold production of the Witwatersrand was 2Hy�� per cent of that ot tlie entire world. The increased production of gold elsewhere woald not have changed this rate had tho war not interfered with mining operations. With the close of the Boer war we may expect to see these mining operations resumed on an extensive scale and within a year after these have,'been "resumed an output of gold exceeding twenty millions sterling may oe confidently expected annually. Had the Boers been loss patriotic or less positive of their ability to wreck British aspirations concerning the assumption of sovereignty of the Eldorado they may have mado up for national losses by personal gains, , The output pt gold which may reasonably, expected for tne-.coming lew years has been carefully estimated by mining engineers intimately acquainted with the resources of the South African auriferous lilanc. .'...��� As has been the case Tin. the past the rate of production will be' steadily increased, and it will take twenty-five years fo exhaust this astonishingly productive region. There is now estimated to be in all the Witwatersrand some , $800,000,000 worth of gold, a quantity equal to nearly three- quarters of tho entire supply existing'in the world in 1S90, which, according to Mulhall, was ��l,23r>,000,000; the total gold production of the world for. 396 years, dating from-the discovery to the year;lSSS having been ��1,- (102,000,000^ the balance having been lost in various ways, in shipwrecks or else converted into jewelry, plate, etc. By the increase of crushing plants and the development of deep level seams it is expected that for the three 6~r four years following the resumption of work in the Rand mines the output may reach the enormous amount of ��25,000,000 annually. Even with the possibility of some of the largo companies finding it unprofitable to develop.their mines further, it is estimateu that the increase due to. greater explolta-' tion of the deep levels and known reefs will keep the annual output on a continual increase. In spite of tho over estimate of properties that has been made In many instances, where tho payable ore was not of such extent as estimated there nas been a remarkably even general grade of ore maintained since the discovery of.the gold fields. Ill the deep level areas the result has been so satisfactory as to inspire tho belief that some of the deepest mines in the world; will bo located here. A depth of 6000 feet,; or considerably over a statute mile, is* itall,-ed"ofroriginers1"ha.\Mng"already"satisliOd themselves .that payable ore can be found at a depth of 1000 feet. The conditions of mining in the Transvaal are certainly favorable for mining at; a great depth. In the first place the dryness; of tho soil precludes tho influx of any great' amount, of water, while in regard to temperature the country Is exceptionally fav-: ored. the Increment, according to tho increased depth. 11s far as ascertained, being exceptionally low. In tho case of the Robinson deep mine, it is about 1 degree Fahrenheit for 212 feet of vortical depth. With the exception of tho additional costs of haulage, pumping and ventilation there aro no factors operating against mining on the Rand to a depth of Stain feet, or over a mile and a half In depth. Nor will the cost of operating at such 11 groat depth materially affect tlie opera- linns. The results of actual naernllnni thus fnr havo justified all these assumptions. For every mllo In length along tho course of the reefs down lo a vortical depth of MM feet, for tho dip of these reefs Is nsti- 10(10 foot for Ihe dip of these reefs it Is es- llmnlpd Ihat gold to the value of about ��10,000,000 will bo extracted. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to _-'''a,^'^,'&'^,ft'��'^-.--*--<--��_&_��_^ _&���.__���_-._����� _^ .

The grain drying company, of Cassel was one of the most prominent German industrial undertakings, but had for a long time been sharply attacked in the financial press owing to its methods of doing business.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-01-24 |
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. |
