ESABLISHED 1892 THURSDAY MORNlKGr, JANUARY 30, 1902 WEEKLY EDITION SCHLEY'S APPEAL PUBLISHED BY THE NAVY DEPARTMENT that if "this testimony was all false they should so have announced, and if all or any part of it was true, the said applicant was entitled to the benefit of it, and by declining to consider or pass upon it, they have deprived him of his common law and constitutional rights." GROUNDS UPON WHICH THE APPELLANT ASKS FOR REVERSAL OF COURT'S FINDING TALK ON CANADA'S FUTURE WASHINGTON, January 29. ��� The navy department has made public admiral Schley's appeal, delivered to the president about a week ago. The departments "comment" will be published in a day or two. Admiral Schley appeals to the president, as the chief executive and commander in chief of the army and navy, "vested with power to regulate and direct the acts of the several executive officers thereof" and he asks that the president review the findings of the court. He asks this on three grounds, on each case basing his appeal on the findings of admiral Dewey, as opposed to the majority report. These three grounds are set out compendously in the "petition" which fills about eight printed pages of.a pamphlet and is signed by admiral Schley and Messrs, Rayner, Parker and Teague, of his counsel. Attached to the petition are the three exhibits "A," "B" and "C," each made up of copies of extracts from the testimony made by the court of inquiry and intended to confirm the statements of fact made in the petition itself. In this latter document the first ground of appeal is the holding of secretary Long in his endorsement of the court findings that "the conduct oi the court in making no finding, and rendering no opinion on these questions (that of command and credit for the victory) is approved���indeed, it could, with propriety, take no other course, evidence on these questions during the inquiry * haying been excluded by the court." o On this point the petition says that the secretary of the navy was in error in stating that the court excluded testimony to show that, as Dewey said, Schley was the senior officer of the battle of Santiago, was in absolute command and entitled to the. credit due Jo,-j the victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish, ships. The petitioner asks the president tc annul secretary Long's endorsement or that point, and that to specifically ap- . prove admiral Dewey's statement, declaring that Schley was in command He says that only in this way can exact justice be done to him under the precept. The second ground relates to the alleged withdrawal of the squadron at night from Santiago Bay, and the character of the blockade and the propriety of commodore Schley's conduct in the "premises. This was one of the points: upon which admiral Dewey'*specifically dissented. The petition recites that findings 01 the court to the effect that the flying squadron did not withdraw at night, and declares that, by this statement the court obviated the necessity of expressing its opinion as to whether 01 not a close or adequate blockade was* established and the propriety of com-, modoi-e Schley's conduct in the prem- =ises.���=It=-is--declared���that_=under__this. specification���the eighth���more than a majority of all the witnesses were examined and about one third of the whole period of the inquiry was consumed in its consideration, yet "notwithstanding the facts herein set forth, all of which appear upon the record of the said court, the concuring members, thereof have failed utterly and entirely to discharge the most, important duty imposed upon them by the terms of the said specification, which duty was to report their opinion upon the questions of whether or not a close or adequate blockade of said harbor to prevent the escape of the enemy's vessels therefrom, was established and the propriety of commodore Schley's conduct in the premises." Therefore admiral Schley asks the president to annul the secretary's endorsement wnich "makes valid the failure of the majority member? thereof to report their opinion upon that portion of the said eighth specification." And it is also said that there be substituted therefore admiral Dewey's holding that "the blockade of Santiago was effective." Otherwise, the petitioner declares that he will be without a finding or opinion upon one of the most important specifications. The third ground recites admiral Dewey's opinion, to the effect that the passage from Key West to Cienfuegop was made by the flying squadron with all "possible dispatch, having in view the importance of arriving off Cienfuegos with sufficient coal, that "the delay permitted him to get information and finally that the passage from Cienfegos to n point off Santiago was made with as- much dispatch as possible, while keeping the squadron a unit. The petition declares that this opinion is the only cne justified by the evidence and factr before the court and it is asked that tlK secretary's approval of the majority findings be set aside and annulled, ir- each instance where it is at varianc with admiral Dewey's opinion and thai the latter's opinion should be approved for the reasons thereto set out in the bill of exceptions, filed with the secretary of the navy. Finally, it is reiterated that the majority rejection of Schley's testimony and that of his witnesses, though he was on the stand for many hours and subjected to the most searching examination "by doing so they have perverted the ends of justice." It is finally stated A Stoat Imperialist TORONTO, January z..���Honorable George E. Foster delivered an address on imperialism last night: He held that the best the future held for Canada was national- life in conjunction with the old country that gave her birth. Some people, he said, seemed afraid of the word imperialism, but there was no reason why under true imperialism Canada should not hold all her present power, and at the same time be a closer component and integral part of the British empire around the world. , The two great reasons why imperialism was a growing power were sentiment from within and pressure, from without. The power from within was. a strong loyal feeling to institutions, form of government and general lines progress and civilization typified by-the mother country. The outward pressure was the hostile sentiment with which almost every country in the world regarded Great Britain. lines west of Chicago have designated certain representatives to constitute a standing committee whose duty it shall be to meet at least every Tuesday and, when necessary, oftener, with a view to considering the situation. The committee .which will take the place of the recent four terminal point committees is composed of the following officials: J. N. Johnson, third vice president of the Rock Island; A. C. Bird, third vice president of the St. Paul; H. R. McCulloch, third vice president of the Northwestern; Durias Miller, first vice president of the Burlington; Paul Morton, second vice president of the Sante Fe, and S. M. Felton, president of the Alton. In pusuance of the "general announcement" of all lines to make only open, published rates, the Western Trunk line commission has issued a joint through freight tariff embodying the cut rates which have pertained to the products mentioned since June 30th., 1901. The new tariff bears the signatures of the general freight agents of 23 lines west of Chicago and is a cut of about 10 per cent on former published tariffs on packing house products and dressed meats from Kansas City, Omaha, South Omaha, Council Bluffs and Sioux City for the middle states and the seaboard territory. TWENTY MILLION INCREASE TO BE MADE IN C. P. R. CAPITAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGREES TO IT BUT THE STOCK MUST BRING FADE VALUE Fishermen Opposed to Traps VICTORIA, January 29.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The fishermen today presented their memorial to the commission which was the closing evidence before professor Prince and his associates. They asked that no changes should be made in the present weekly closed season, that purse, seine and drag nets licenses be issued only to bona fide white fishermen and Indians; that no licenses be issued to canners; that there be no limit to sea fishing nets; and that no trap licenses of any kind be granted to any one or introduced by the government.

As there were .two keys, it is said, to the safety box���one held by the railway company and one held by the political committee���no one* has been able to get the money. Mr... Murrell and Mr. Meysonburge were arrested and gave bond in- the sum of $5000, and were released. ^ ���: ��� ^-/ !'"

OTTAWA, January 29.���In view of the extraordinary rapid growth of the Canadian northwest in the recent years culminating in the harvest of 1901 which yielded over 60,009,000 bushels for export, the public wHL be quite prepared to learn that theipresident of the Canadian Pacific railway has asked the Dominion government to approve of a resolution authorizing the board of directors, with the sanction of the shareholders to increase-Hhe capital stock of that company to the extent of $20,000,- 000 for the purpose of enabling it to build new locomotives and cars, lay heavier rails, arrange in due course for the double-tracking of certain sections and provide such other improvements as may be found necessary to cope with the large increase .in traffic which has already taken place, as well as with the still greater increase confidently looked for in the immediate future. * The amounts applied to: each of these deT partments follows:' For new rolling stock, $9,000,000. Double-tracking,: $6;000,000. New plants for construction of rolling stock, chiefly at "Montreal, ,$1,500,- 000. \ New elevators, improvement of terminals, $3,000,000. Miscellaneous improvements, $500,000. Total, $20,000,000. The government on its part has been quite willing to approve of the issue of the stock. It is clear to the ministers, as to every one with a knowledge of the Northwest, that the constantly ; growing business of the Canadian Pacific requires an increased outlay of capital account, otherwise the interests of all concerned, of the farmers and merchants, no less-than of the company itself,; must suffer from congestion ^ofidraffici and from the impossibility: of meeting the requirements of "the multitude of new settlers going in every year chieflyfromthe' western; states. This, it is believed,;"ls the first time in the history of Canada that a Canadian railway has been financially strong enough to raise additional capital by selling its common stock. But to ensure that every dollar of the stock_is- sued shall be represented by a dollar in cash in the- betterment of the railway, the ministers have stipulated that none of the stock shall be sold below par. To further safeguard the public interests, the ministers have asked the company to agree, and the company has agreed, that in calculating the 10 per cent which, by the terms of its original contract with the crown, must be earned by the railway upon the amount of its actual cash cost before parliament of the governor-in*-council can interfere with its tolls, this new stock and proceeds of it shall not be included in the actual cash cost of the railway. Consequently although a much^ greater earning power will be obtained by the company by means of this additional capital, the amount upon which the percentage is to be calculated before the tolls become subject.to direct supervision by the government is left as it is at present. In reality, therefore, the ministers are by this provision hastening the time when they shall have the right to interfere and reduce the tolls of the company if found to be unreasonable. The position of the people of the Northwest and the Dominion at large relatively to the rates of the Canadian Pacific and their control by the people's representatives is thus very greatly improved. Again, ever since tho original contract was made with the company twenty years ago, questions have been arising in parliament as to the proper construction to be placed upon the section just spoken of, excluding the right of parliament and of the governor- in-counc'il to interfere with the tolls until 10 per cent has been earned upon the cash cost of the road. Having in view the large growth of traffic upon the company's lines, with the corresponding growth of net earnings, and the probability that both will continue to grow at a constant accelerated rate, it is obvious that the time i_ opportune for determining the exact meaning of that section. Accordingly the government and the company have agreed to submit a friendly reference to the supreme court of Canada, or, if necessary, to the judicial committee of the privy council in order that an authoritative interpretation may be obtained without further delay. Here, again, it will be seen, the position of the country with respect to the C. P. R. and government control of its rates in the near future has been distinctly improved. The expenditure within Canada during the next three or four years of twenty millions, raised n Europe and the United States, will of course benefit all. The plants of the company at Montreal for building cars and locomotives are to be enlarged at once. Something like 5000 men will be employed in the shops there. Last fall, although orders had been placed in the United States, as well as in Canada, the company found it impossible to procure a sufficient supply of new rolling stock to meet the unexpected requirements of the Northwest harvest, which, owing to wet weather, did not begin to move until later than usual. Hereafter, with these new facilities for manufacturing rolling stock, the company will be in a position to provide an adequate supply for any emergency in the shape of a bumper crop that may arise, and Canadian labor will profit by the construction being confined to Canada. The double tracking of portions of the road will be an undertaking of considerable magnitude, notably on the portion of the line between Winnipeg and Fort William, but the company in its own interest will make haste to complete it, and here, too, the large expenditure involved will benefit Canadian interests. It is confidently believed that the arrangements here outlined will meet with the public approval. If the em- ploymentoof additional capital will be advantageous to the C.P.R., the country as a whole, though more paticularly the Northwest, will profit indirectly, whilst the importance of the conditions attached to the issue of the stock can hardly be over estimated from a public point of view. New York's Big Banquet NEW YORK, January 29.���The annual banquet of the New York board of trade and transportation was held tonight in the ball room of the Waldorf- Astoria hotel. The function this year has a double object in view: First, to do honor to the memory of William McKinley; secondlyto encourage the closer union of capital 'and labor. Among the guests were two former members of president McKinley's cabinet, Charles Emery Smith, ex-postmaster-general, and John W. Griggs, ex-attorney-general. Then there was United States senator Hanna, colonel Myron T. Her- rick and Charles A. Moore, all close personal ��� friends of Mr. McKinley, Oscar S. Straus, president of the board of trade and transportation, was chairman. The menu crd bore a figure of "Commerce" beckoning, and figures of the employer and the employee clasping hands. The souvenir consisted of- a papier mache weighing scale, on one side of which was an anvil with sledge and angle resting against it, while the other side was a bag labelled $1,000,000. The first toast was "The President of the United States" drunk standing and in silence. "William McKinley and his Policies" was the first toast to be responded to, and former postmaster-general Charles Emery Smith was the speaker. Mr. Smith in^ the courser of his speech, which was a1 tribute to the late president McKinley, said: He was called to great deeds and he rose to the'full height of .opportunity. He ruled iri^dhe" of 'three distinctive epochs in the development of the republic, and he dominated his era as Washington and Lincoln dominated theirs. If we believed 'that a divine hand picked and fitted them for their great work in the revolution of the American union, the guidance of an over ruling providence is no less plainly stamped on the life and the mission of William McKinley. First of all, "a man of the people, and preeminent in understanding their temper, he was the incarnate and refined, genius of the popular will. No less a leader of leaders, he was equally skil- full in swaying the councils and shaping the action of political chieftains. He moved amid mighty events in a creative and convulsive period and he left his deep and beneficial impress on the nation's history and the world's progress." Want to Become Americans NEW YORK, January 29.���A special correspondent of the Tribune at St. =ThTmluir^riwriI���sWds^thi^ in connection with the reported transfer of the islands to the United States: What puzzles the average Danish West Indian more than anything else is the impression, which seems to have gained ground in America and elsewhere, that he objects to the transfer of these islands and that a plebiscite is necessary. Apart from the fact that there are so many different nationalities in the Danish West Indies that it would be a matter of great difficulty to arrive at a just conclusion in case of a plebiscite, and if it were possible to take a vote, under such circumstances, it would be in favor of the transfer. There may have been a feeling against it some time ago among a few of the natives owing to senttmeni nnd partly to the statements made by the antisale party about the miserable condition of Poro Rico under American rule. Now that the truth has come to light about that island, and every mail brings further reports of its progress, once again, as in 1S67, our people are looking forward to the change, believing that there can be nothing save prosperity for these islands should it take place.

JOHNS, Newfoundland, January 29.��� The colonial government has undertaken to renew for the present year the French shore modus vlvendi, which expired the 31st of last December. Air. Chamberlain, the British colonial secretary, wired the colonial government a request for this action last Saturday, urging his desire to dispose of tlie Boer war before reviving negotiations with France respecting the Newfoundland shore. The colonial cabinet In acquiescing to Mr. Chamberlain's request recorded the fact that it was done as the colonies contribution towards the solution of the imperial problems in South Africa. Newfoundland being unable to send men there took this means of testifying her co-operation in the imperial policy, and is confident that the redress of her grievances will be the next undertaken. It Is generally understood that this is the last time that this measure will be renewed, and that it is only done for the foregoing reason.

Dr. Kuyper, replying to a question on the subject, confirmed the accuracy of A. J. Balfour's statement in the British house of commons yesterday, regarding the Dutch government's offer to help in bringing about peace in South Africa. The premier added that he was prevented by courtesy from disclosing any details concerning the note, so long as the British government had not published Its contents, or until a reply to It was received. The Boer delegates disclaim any knowieuge ot tne contents of the Dutch note to Great Britain. LONDON, January 29.���The Hague correspondent of the Daily Mail says he ia able to announce on authority that tho Dutch note to Great Britain, after rehearsing the earnest concern of that government at the prolongation of hostilities in South Africa, offered its good oflices in bringing them to a close. To this Holland asked, whether Great Britain would permit a Dutch commission to proceed to South Africa to enlighten the Boer leaders in the Held as to the real position of affairs, ana more especially since it is understood that there is- not the slightest chance of Intervention on tho part of any European government, and that the prolongation of hostilities is useless. The Dutch government expressly announces in this note that it possesses no authorization whatsoever from the Boer leaders, either in Europe or, South Africa, to take tnis suggested step, but that it appeals to Great Britain on the ground of common humanity, for military; permission for the Dutch commission to accomplish its mission of peace. Such permission would bind neither the British government to the discussion of terms, or tho initiation of any negotiations, nor pledge the Dutch government for the success o�� its self-imposed task. It is understood that Great Britain is waitir.g for lord Kitchener's views on this suggestion, and is willing to grant the request for the safe conduct of the Dutch commission, if lord Kitchener offers- no objections, though it is not hopeful of any practical result from" the effort.

" This is certainly an age of trusts. During the past few years the concen- trationists have invaded many fields, and wonder has sometimes been expressed as to how much further the work of consolidation of interests could be carried. But it is evident that the end is not yet, and, if the dispatches which come from Toronto can be relied upon, it is not unlikely that the people of the Dominion may yet become reconciled to seeing the hall mark of the trust upon their religion. The same spirit of economy which has resulted in the unification, of interest in the commercial and industrial world is now at Avork upon the problem of bringing about a religious trust. For years the advanced thinkers of the several Protestant denominations have been giving ^th"o^r=hTO_t'i^eWhWir^ttenHonTo the" waste of men and money involved in the conflict of the different shades of Protestantism to force the propagation of their own peculiar brand of salvation, but it was only last week that something in the way of a satisfactory solution was arrived at in Toronto. This Avill result in representations being made to the church courts of the different, denominations at their next meetings suggesting joint action with a view, to eliminating unnecessary competition in tlie home and foreign fields, and it is not unreasonable to suppose that in time the principle will be amplified so that two churches will no longer divide the business of one, that funded church debts and mortgages will become unknown, and that devot churchmen may accept places upon church boards of management without the imminent danger of an early collapse as the result or' financial worrv. The conflict between the federal government and the British Yukon Railway Company, over the question of freight and passenger rates, has disclosed the rather interesting fact that this line of railway in the far north is probably the best paying piece of road on the American continent. This doubtless explains the readiness of capitalists to embark their money in the many northern railway schemes which are being projected at Washington, at Ottawa, and in the commercial centers of the Pacific coast. Some of these have for their object the opening up of the United States' poses- sions' in Alaska but the greater number of them aim at reaching out for the profitable trade of the Canadian Yukon. One harrier, hoAvever, remains in the way of these northern railroad builders, and that is the reluctance of the Dominion government, to authorize the construction of any road which is not all Canadian. While the wisdom of this ' course cannot be questioned, having in view the commercial interests of the Dominion, it is likely to delay for some time the prospect of northern railroad investors earning 20 per cent net upon their money as the British Yukon shareholders have been doing. Of this pioneer Alaskan road some 90 miles are in Canadian territory, and upon the company's own showing, this mileage, the construction cost of which Avas returned at $2,936,936, the earnings for the last fical year, ending June 30th, 1901, Avere $846,321. Against this total the company sets out that its operating expenses were $283,530, so that its net earning upon the Canadian section were $562,- 790. Of the total earnings the freight receipts wero $708,532, which was earned upon 38,208 tons of freight, disclosing the company's charge to average $18.54 per ton. This is certainly fitting return for the men who had the pluck to fin- anceithe^firs-=Tailwayiiin^theinorthrand- even with the reductions insisted upon by the federal authorities they will continue to a have a good thing. REASON WHY BRIGGS MOVED pany. One thing led to another. Mrs. Pease saw that she could play the thing to the limit, and George became a veritable beast of burden. Kerosine oil was 2 cents'1 a gallon cheaper at the big department store than it was at the corner grocery. Mrs. Pease used kerosine in the kitchen. They won't deliver kerosine in the great store's wagon because it slops on things. George Briggs carted the stuff home himself in the elevated train. Once, going around a curve, the can keeled over, the cork came out and Geogre's new $S trousers were a sight, and smell to boot. He put the $S down on the lost side of his account, and still kept his good nature. Once George Briggs' conscience troubled him for a month. He Avas the possessor of an awful secret, which he felt was his dutv to share with his fellow boarders, but which he did not. Just as he Avas preparing to leave the office for the day the telephone rang, and over the Avire Mrs. Pease spoke to him pathetically. There was a bundle at the department store which should have been delivered hours before. She must have it before dinner. It was very carefully done up. because she had told them to Avrap it closely, and it wouldn't be much bother if good Mr. Briggs would only call for it and bring it home with him. George went over, secured the package, which had a handle sticking out of a great quantity of unmarked paper, and started home with it. He boarded an electric car, and to get tho package out of the way, he stuck it under the seat. It happened that tne electric "radiator" was on full blast, and pretty soon something sprung a leak. There Avas a grease flood on the floor and some of it on another pair of George's trousers. He grabbed the offending bundle and got off, because the floor was afloat and the passengers were wrathy. George tore the paper off the package and found that he had a pail with a leak in it, and a large label Avhich declared the stuff to be butterine. He dropped the Avhole thing in the gutter, bought five pounds of the best creamery at a grocery, had -ft- Avrapped ,up carefully, went home,, gave it to the landlady and never said a word. George Briggs Avent on his way for a long while. He knew that his fellow- boarders considered him a fool, and at times the satisfaction that he believed a man should feel because he does things for others was as great as he thought it-should be. One night two weeks ago George Briggs went home late. It was just one o'clock when he turned into bed. Not five minutes later there was a rap at his door, and the pleading voice of the widow Pease was heard: "Oh, Mr. Briggs! I hate to disturb you; but I've- got to on an errand of life or death. Won't you please dress and go with me?" There was a sort of half-sob in the landlady's voice that roused all the sympathetic in the boarder's nature, and that's saying a good deal. He lighted the gas, three on his clothes, and put himself at Mrs. Pease's disposal. They passed out into the cold night and walked five blocks on Thirty-ninth street. "We'll have to take "a cab," said .the_widoAV.__-L-want=tO-:goJ-o__-_oP.d-and_, Harrison streets, Avay over the Avest side." The cabby said it would be four dollars.

LOST IN GOODWIN SANDS Nelson Opera House THURSDAY 3Qtll JANUARY No more convincing evidence of the material progress of the Dominion could he desired than is contained in the information that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will, at tlie approaching session of the house of commons, make application for the increasing of its capital stock by $20,000,000. This large sum of money, it is explained, is to be devoted principally to three ends, providing the required increase in rolling stock, double-tracking such portions of the system as threaten to become congested, and the building ol additional elevators for the more expeditious handling of the grain crops of the Northwest. Prom the press dispatches it is evident that the federal executive has intimated it Avillingness to grant the request of the company upon terms, which the company in turn has signified its readiness to accept It is said to be the aim of the company to ���manufacture in the Dominion every- Midnifiht Bide to the Morgue George Briggs Jived in Mrs. Pease's boarding house for threo years. He'd be Jiving there yet if Mrs. Pease had been .able to properly discriminate between the free horse and the one that is hired at the livery. Tho landlady has one of the best boarding houses on the far South Side. Slie keeps a good boarding house because slie knows it pays. Slie is wise enough in her generation to realize that if she gives a person a porterhouse steak and makes 20 cents out of it, she is better off than if slie gives him bash and makes only a dime. All Mrs. Pease' boarders, bar George Briggs, were content to pay their bills, tako advantage of the good things in the house and let Mrs. Pease as severely alone as possible. The landlady never asked Chris Butler, the hoard of trade man, nor Jim Raymond, the jeweler, to do errands for her. She had asked them, but they turned her down, and when George Briggs came there to live they told him that Mrs. Pease Avould attempt to work him, and that if he wanted happiness and contentment he must do as they had done. The trouble with George was that he wasn't built that way. He simply had to do tilings for others. George Briggs always thought there must be something out of joint Avith the times when a day passed and he was not asked to do an errand for the widow Pease. One day it was, "I know, Mr. Briggs, you'll pay my gas bill for me when you go downtown. If paid at the main office it will save me 5 cents." So George would tuck tbe bill in his pocket and pay it at the corner drug store, chipping in the extra nickel himself. He was charitable enough to think that it never entered into Mrs. Pease's head that his oflice was five blocks from the headquarters of the gas corn- such was Mrs. Pease's memory that all thought of the four dollars would go out of her mind before they had gone a block. ' With nothing else to do, George's thoughts reverted to a little account book Avhich he had in it two items of ruined trousers, five pounds of butter, $10 of borroAved money, one* or two gas bills and innumerable car fares, amounting in all, without the night's cab bill, to about $50. They reached Wood and Harrison streets finally. "Where do you want to go?" said George to Mrs. Pease. "To the morgue," she answered, wit.li a sort of a half gasp. "Tlio morgue," echoed George, in a hollow voice. "Yes," she said, and held out a clipping from an evening newspaper, George read it under the dim cab light. It was this: "The man whose body was picked up in the river had a light mustache, light hair, and an old and deep scar on the right temple." "I fear it is Henry," said Mrs. Pease in a broken voice. George didn't know who Henry Avas from a side of solo leather, but he Avas air sympathy. "It may be some way- wa'r'cl son Unknown to me," he thought to himself. "Bear up, Mrs. Pease," lie said, "the morgue is a grewsome place at night, and if some shock awaits you ���you will need all your strength." He led the trembling woman round the shadoAvy corner of���ihe great hospital. The November wind was moaning a dirge. They had great difficulty in securing admission to the dead-house but George's whisper to an attendant that it was doubtless a case of an aged widow seeking the body of her only son finally gained them an entrance. Out of pure sympathy George Briggs threw his strong right arm around the ample waist of the widow and supported her in tho awful death chamber. The attendant turned on a flickering gas jet. The beams of the light fell fitfully on the upturned features of a dead man. The widow Pease gave one look, and then wailed: "I knew it! It's Henry, r knew 1 should lose him." "Your son?" asked George, in a soft whisper. "My son? No!" said the widoAv Pease, History of the Death Trap " Tho last vestige of the 99S-ton four- masted NorAvegian Iron sailing ship Mersey, with her cargo of 1400 tons of South American dye-wood for the Yorkshire factories, sank beneath the Goodwin quicksands. She -truck the sands nearly opposite Deal. The crew were saved by the lifeboats, but nothing could be done for the ship. A few hours' rolling on these shifting sands began to swallow her pipcemeal; hull and cargo sank foot by foot, until nothing but her masts stood up from the water. She had disappeared in .three days, and left no trace. Many a score of vessels have gone before her into these depths, but not often so rapidly. Sometimes a mast will stand for a long time, like the finger post pointing the way to destruction. Thus the largest sailing ship Hazelbank, wrecked in the same way and on the same spot, kept a mast standing until the recent gales washed it away. Old tradition says that what is now the Goodwin sands was once the fertile island called Lomea, in the possession of earl Godwine. .From him it passed to the abbey of St. Augustine at Canterbury. The sea always wanted it, and when the abbot, in the extermity of his piety, used the stones intended for the sea wall to build the steeple of Tenterden church, the sea got its chance and utilized it by swallowing the fair isle of Lomea. The final destruction Avas in 1099, the year before the 1_deatlu_oL__William_:Rufus._^_But^the^sea. had been gnawing at Lomea all through the century. Now the sands are ten miles long, stretching northeast and southwest, and one and a half to three miles broad. They lie opposite Sandwich and Deal, and the average distance from the mainland is five and a half miles. They form a natural break water to the Downs. At low tide in summer time the sand is firm enough for cricket. The deadliest day's work of the Goodwin sands was on November 20tb, 1703, when thirteen men-of-war and 1200 oilicers and men perished there. The sands will hold neither lighthouse nor beacon, but there are four tine lightships and many buoys. ,'. Herr SI cinor. Conductor.

Novel Suit Entered A most unique suit has boon commenced in Seattle against the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The plaintiff is captain E. E. Caine and he is acting as trustee of the Pacific Clipper line, which in 1S99 had under charter the steamer Cleveland for a voyage to Nome and return. The papers in the suit set forth that in 1S99 the Cleveland Avas en route from the north for Seattle and that among her cargo she had a valuable shipment of gold dust consigned to the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The gold was valued at $381,208. On the voyage down from St. Michael the steamer was delayed considerably by gales and as a consequence she ran short of fuel. To bring his vessel into port the master of the Cleveland spared none of his Avood- work of his steamer and accordingly considerable repairing had to bo done when Seattle was reached. According to the plaintiff it is customary in marine usage to levy on the cargo for loss incurred in burning up the wood work of a steamer when it is necessary to bring such vessel to port after her fuel has ran out. A demand was made on the bank for payment of its pro rata share of the damage, but the cash was not forthcoming, hence the suit. The amount claimed from the bank is $1,- 372.25.

STORY OF THE CITY DAILY By David Graham Phillips Six years ago the circulation of all the daily newspapers of New York City was under rather than above 1,000,000 a day. And New York was then a marvel of newspaper production and newspaper reading. Today at least 2,000,000 pour from New York presses; and large circulation figures, five years ago grudgingly conceded to three papers, are claimed, and claimed honestly, by eight or nine. A decade ago or less a circulation of 10,000 or less would have been regarded as notable. Today an "East-Side" newspaper, published in the Hebrew,German-Russian jargon called Yiddish, has a daily circulation of -10,000. Four English newspapers circulate about 100,000 each; a fifth circulates r-uO.OOO; two others have circulations little below 000,000 and often exceed it.

Below the line of illiteracy, an- up among tho scholarly and secluded, tlie passion lias spread and continues lo spread, if newspapers were not so freely tosse- about Hie circulation ligures of the largest _)u\v York papers mignf be much greatei than tiiey now are. As for the making of newspapers, it long since became a raging fever. The presses are going day and night, and behind UK- presses are the worn, restless editors, writers and artists, toiling heedless ot uit hours for sleeping and eating, wearing out body and mind m me effort lo feed am. stimulate the public appetite. In the bis newspaper ollioes the fever is so hign thai to an outsider it looks like delirium, utmost like insanity. Even the staid "conservative" newspapers which a few years ago were content with a small class circulation and were proud of their deliberateness, art now affected and are exhibiting signs which become only the more apparent as they loudly rebuke the "yellows' _jj.ii.ji. protest *Ttgitiusr"th-~dege"iieracy of the times. What is the explanation ot this revolution in both the reading and the making ol newspapers in New 1'ork City, and, in u less degree, in all the American cities.'. The answer i.s, the rise of the aggressive one-cent illustrated newspaper, clamorous for circulation and appealing in every number to every class, from tne day laborer to the scholar, from the scrubwoman lo tht woman of fashion ,,.������������ And of all the "signs of the times, none is more important than this sign, carolull\ read to its full meaning. Therefore, a detailed look into tlie operations of tweniieui century journalism," one of the nicknames of the new one-cent journalism, can hardly fail to be instructive and may be interesting ami even amusing. First, there is the plant���the mechanism bv which this new and tremendous trumpet of publicity produces its effects. Second, there is the product-the voice otjiub- lleitv. Third, there is the power���the e.iooi of that voice upon the enormous and iu- crc.'isin'r audience. Let us take the two great one-cent newspapers of Now York for example. One of them occupies seven Moors ol a huge ollice building. The other 1-^?. n, ,' in nine buildings so widely *VilT'1^ ";" it would take several hours to visit them ail yet intimately connected by telephones an.l pneumatic tubes. That paper pays about $100,000 for rent, and has among it.* expenses $100,000 a year for leased tele- BTo keei>resSuch ft newspaper going without loss the business office must lind about *���',- 000,000 a year, about $57,000 a week There are just two sources of revenue���the sale of newspapers and tbe advertisements. By the sale of newspapers perhaps one- fourth of the total expenses are met���Jla.uou to $18,000 a week. The average price to the news dealer or news boy for Iho clail*,. morning and evening is about half a mill over half a cent, and for the Sunday ju_* under four cents. This sum does not, as a rule, met the cost of the white paper. On that alone the larger the circulation tin more money Is lost. White paper is tho greatest single problem, the greatest single anxiety, to the big one-cent newspaper. To produce the paper which is used by either one of the largesl New York newspapers ten acres of spruce forest must be cleared and swept into tht* paper making machines every twenty-four hours. Obviously a difference of a tiny fraction of a cent In paper may mean prosperity or the reverse. The object is to keep tho cost of the white paper in each copy near tho selling price of the newspaper��� whenever possible, below it. And this means not only great watchfulness as tr waste and as tn keeping down the "returns"���that is the excess of copies printed over copies sold���but also great care m keeping down the number of pages in thr wcok-ilav morning and evening editions. To raise ono of these newspapers from twelve to fourteen, or from fourteen t" sixteen pages, means to raise its cost for lb" edition $'.">') at least, if this raise i.- made everv day, morning and evening, for six davs. thai week the addition to the white paper bill will be $5100. The white paper costs from $1S,000 to $20,- THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE WITH WHICH 18 AMALGAMATED THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA. HEAD OFFICE: TORONTO.

SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rate three per cent. GRANGE V. HOLT, Manuger Nolson Branch a week. The income from tlie sales is from ���slti.ouu lo .JIS.OUO a week. Advertisements are therefore the foundation and most of the superstructure of the business of one-cent journalism on a colossal scale. _"rom them must come an income of more than ^,000,000 a year, or about $40,000 lo $15,000 a week���not in order that tile paper may make a prolit but in order that it may not actually lose money. The advertisement rates vary in the various big papers, ranging from $30 a column to ?7u and JfSJ and $!W, higher for the evening than for the morning, higher for the Sunday than for either. Higher for the display advertisements than for the classified, such as '���Help wanted." At an average of $70 the column, about 30,000 columns of advertising a year must be got for the morning, the evening and the Sunday together in order that expenses may be met. Speaking very roundly, one-half of all this world would go into the Sunday editions and the other half would be divided between the 313 morning and the 313 evening papers���one-half in 52 papers, the other half in 020 papers. It is thus apparent that the Sunday edition is the backbone of the big one-cent newspaper. Because of its higher price there is sometimes a prifit���small, but still a profit���in its white paper. Because of its larger circulation���about equal to the combined circulation of the morning and evening editions for one day���there is a much higher rate for advertising and a greater demand for advertising space, lt sometimes happens that $35,000 will be taken in from advertising and sales together for a single Sunday. The in-take for advertising alone in a Sunday special number has gone beyond $30,000 in at least three newspaper offices in New York. If it were not for these great Sunday papers the profits of every large newspaper in New York would be almost wiped cut- in several instances wholly wiped out. The morning and evening editions often do not pay for themselves. The commercial value is in ��� large measure their ihlltience upon the circulation and profits of the Sunday paper. And for that they are indispensable. Assuming that the circulation about meets the white paper bills, there remains, in not too round numbers, $10,000 a week, of income for advertising, that is expended upon the making of the paper���upon tlie gathering of materials and the use of machinery for the ink impressions on these miles upo.li miles, tons upon tons of paper. The largest items of expenditure are the commercial and mechanical���$1000 a week for tlie business office, $1000 for the stero- typing department, $1500 for the press room, $2000 for cable and telegraph, $3000 for the circulation department, $7000 for the composing room, etc. In all perhaps $15,000 to $1S,000 or $20,000 a week will be spent in these ways. "Incidentals" under that general head are such items as $150,000 to $200,000 a year for postage. ,.,,.���, There is no business in which skilled labor is so well paid. In the World, "Jour- na and Herald establishments, for example, there is not a full grown man working full time who gets less than $1500 a year; and many of them got $2000, $2500 and $3000 a year. Pressmen, sterotypers, compositors, all are backed by strong unions which are intelligently managed in the main, and not only know what they want and what they can venture to demand, but also how to demand it. A newspaper must come out every day; these particular newspapers must come out every few hours. And they must have intelligence in the purely mechanical departments. For example, it will make a vast difference in the sale of a paper whether it be clearly printed or not; and that point usually depends on the way paper and ink are fed ��� into the presses. An incompetent press room force would wreck a big newspaper in six months. Three facts or groups of facts will, perhaps, give a better idea of tho proportions of the mechanical department of a news- paoer than would a detailed description. first: The press room of any one of these biggest newspapers has a capacity of 750,000 eight-page papers an. hour���printed, cut, folded, counted, ready for the mailing and delivery rooms. Second: Ono hundred tons of metal are kept in stock for making the sterotyped cylindrical plates from which the paper is printed. Seventy tons of metal are used for making these plates for the Sunday, paper, ln printing that_ paper alone im less than. "lI00T'Ii';te"s_m-enised,e"ach weighing- about 50 pounds. Third: Each of the big New York newspapers publishes on Sunday enough papers to make a weight of from 200 to .275 tons: and about thirty extra large express cars loavo New York every Sunday-morning before dawn with upwards of 500 tons���1,000,- 000 pounds���of paper for out-of-town readers of New York's Sunday newspapers. Of tho $57,000 a week which we set out to account for in a general and necessarily inexact way there remains between $IX,00u and $25,000 a week���a million to a million and a quarter a year. This sum is expended upon the editorial and news departments��� in tlio salaries and expenses of reporters, artists, correspondents, news editors, cartoonists, editorial and feature writers. The man of highest salary will probably be the editorial manager with his $15,000 to $25,000 a year or more. Then will come half a dozen news editors with their assistants, and an editorial editor with bis assistants��� these with salaries ranging from $0000 to $15,000 or $20,000 a vear. There will be onu or two famous cartoonists at from $12,000 to $15,000, several editorial writers and correspondents of reputations, with salaries ol" $SOO0 or $10,000. Then there are the artists, reporters, copv readers, and feature writers who are paid from $2000 to $0000 or $7000 a year. Not long twenty of the principal editors and writers and business office men of a one-cent newspaper were assembled at a luncheon. The business manager, whose salary was not far from $15,000 a year, whispered to his neighbor that the "talent"' at that table was costing the proprietor S170.000 a vear. an average of $S500 a year the man. If livo of the men of lower salary had been absent tho average would have been above $10,000. There are three separate staffs���the morning, tho evening, and the Sunday���the last devoting itself to getting out the Sunday supplement��� the black and white feature supplement, the magazine in colors, the ccmic weekly in colors, sneet music, children's games, etc. The morning and evening stnffs aro subdivided into day and night forces, these divisions persisting throughout tbe establishment, including tlie business office and the various mechanical departments, in all. counting the out-of-town correspondents both at homo nnd abroad, there are about 100 persons regularly on the editorial and news payrolls alone. And to those must be added scores of retained correspondents���who can be called upon when needed. SVe have now noted In bare outline the colossal structure reared upon the demand for an article which sells for half a cent on week days and four cents on Sundays and whose usefulness to its purchaser ends a few minutes after he buys it. At every step we have seen ruinous possibilities of extravagance���a business manager, hy conceding to tho manufacturer an eighth of a rent a. pound on white paper, mnv disrupt the finances for the year; a circulation manager, by over-ennfidenee. may send out too many papers and cause costly "returns" amounting easily to hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. TCut more dangerous to an institution of this kind than extravagance is economy. There must be boldness, eagerness to take IMPERIAL BANK 03J" 0-___CT.A-D.A.

So it happens in these newspaper offices tho pendulum is constantly swinging from reckless extravagance to panic-stricken economy. One week, through special effort on some news feature, the telegraph of cable tolls will rise from an average of perhaps $2000 to $10,000, to $15,000, even lo $20,000.

Jacob Dover\ "The Jeweler." % By Charies Lewis Shaw The P. M. 0. called him the incarnation of Mark Tapley. We called him Johnny. He *#as an Irish-Canadian that had drifted over to South Africa on a hired transport loaded for and aft with horses and hay. A military doctor who knew that a man's brain was something more than so many drachms of grey matter engaged him for the front. And the doctor was wise. There are several men who have been returned to their regiments in the British army as fit for duty who would have gone down to posterity as part of the statistics of a mortality report, if it hadn't been for the army sugeon's horse sense. The manner in which Johnny Ryan sub- duedly whistled "The Hat My Father Wore," as he moved around the hospital cots when Bloemfontein was fever- stricken, and * they were burying soldiers by the trench full, or quietly lilted "Rosy0 O'Grady" in the night watch of a crowded tent, did as much to stop the death rate as the scientific treatment of the distinguished specialist whom he astounded one day by calling "Doc." There was nothing ghoul-like about the way he seemed to draw happiness from the pain, sorrow, and misery that he was brought in contact with. When his master, "the boss" Johnny called him, was once ordered to proceed, under escort, to half a battalion which was doing outpost duty up the Vaal river way, where enteric was getting in its deadly work, and at the first halt the subaltern found they had forgotten flour, and that it meant a couple of weeks on hardtack, Johnny consoled him by remark- ing'that it might have heen worse, they might have forgotten the officers' whiskey. When the first oflicer with a flesh wound in the left arm was working himself into a fever, and wanted to write a letter to his mother and his sister and several other delicate female relatives that he was going to die, and that he left his name to a grateful country, under a Conservative administration, Johnny told him of the joys of strolling along Adderley street, Cape Town, with his arm in a sling and being sympathized Avith by a considerable part of fashionable London who were following the enemy, and the young man is now engaged to a wealthy widow of a sentimental turn, who fell in love with the flesh wound. And the young officer has forgotten Johnny. Johnny will only ��_t a bronze or copper sort of medal _that the government wilinfiv^toTKaffif���guides, grooms, war correspondents, and mule drivers, but he did more to remedy the disasters brought about by the drawing-room and club room military education of the officers of the British army than any one man below the rank of general. And it was all owing to his Tapleian quality of looking on me bright side of everything. For instance, after the battle of Modder river, lord Methuen, who had cabled that his barren victory was the greatest of modern times in the history of British arms, then counted up his serious loss in killed and wounded, and looked around for the enemy's dead. The noble lord, the general of levees and Aldershot, couldn't find them. Johnny Ryan and several hundred others were put on fatigue duty, fishing for dead Boers who were believed to be damming up the Modder river. They found a few���a couple of dozen, I think. They were laid out decently and in order on the river bank, tnd in the evening Johnny was hovering around blithely whistling "The Night Before Larry Was Stretched" for he had been up to his waist in water all day, had caught a severe cold, and was as hoarse as a crow, and he whistled. Methuen and his staff trotted up to him on one of the countless inspections, rounds, and things that his soul delighted in, and the noble lord asked Johnny several question, and Johnny answered in a husky voice, that was appropriately like unto the croak of a raven. They were about wheeling their horses for the return to headquarters, and Johnny had answered the last question in a whisper that was barely audible, when Methuen drawled out in that Guard's drawl that makes you almost pro-Boer: "Ah, my good fellow, you have a very bad cold?" "Yes, general, I have a horrible bad one. But," and Johnny looked quite cheerful as he pointed to the row of dead a few yards away, "any one of them fellows over there 'ud be mighty glad to have it." Johnny Ryan looked on the cheerful side of tilings. Drop in Dividends "MONTRl. A I,.

P. R. Shops at Hochelafta The workshops which the Canadian Pacific Railway purposes erecting in the east end will be the largest in America, and, consequently in the world. Details have not yet been considered, but the object of the executive is concentration, and thereby economy in supervision and construction. It may be authoiritively stated, however, that it is the intention to build every locomotive and car for the company's service at the new shops at Hochelaga. That is to say, that alloex- isting erection shops, with the exception of the Carlton junction car shops, will be removed to Montreal. Of such magnitude of the undertaking, involving the expenditure of millions, that in all probability expert engineering advice outside of the company's engineering staif, will be consulted, both from Can- aoa and the United States. The negotiations for the purchase of land are nearing a satisfactory settlement. All the Montreal proprietors, it is understood, have met the ideas of the company. The company at first intended purchasing 600 acres, but have reduced the area to 350 acres, from North Nolan street, and including portions of the Hogan Alwyn, Labbe, Del- isle and of the Land Improvement Company's estates. The area selected by the company is splendidly situated for such works, being a level plateau, with stone, sand and blue clay foundations. It is said it will cost' the company in the vicinity of 750,000. The works will give employment to 7000 men.

He Tells a Great Story VICTORIA, ..anuary 29.���J. Hepburn left for J^ondon today to enlist capital in tho greatest mining discovery that tho world has ever known, tho rich conglomerates of Indian river, 2S miles from Dawson. Minors who had worked in tho South African gold Holds were attracted to Indian river by the similarity to the rich deposits of the Rand. Thoy carried their investigations further to the neighboring benches, and discovered that the escarpments of ,the Indian river valley wero composed of immense masses of conglomerates, identical in composition with thoso which have yielded so many millions in treasure in South Africa. A superficial prospect of the deposits satisfied the miners that they were gold bearing, and subsequent examinations at various points revealed the fact that the stuff carried from $1. to $200 to the ton. J. Hepburn of 'Victoria, who has secured an option on i;a of these claims, loft for London today to enlist capital. He says, that, without exaggeration, one of his claims carefully examined by a competent mining engineer will yield .$(;1,0011,000. Ho says that there are enough of the conglomerates to keep 20,000 stamps at. work for one hundred years. Coal has boon found within a short distance uf tho property.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-01-30 |
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. |
