���___i^,t_jk-��g^-isawrt'^p?,att_i-^^ ESABLISHED 1892 WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 5- 1902 DAILY EDITION BRITAIN'S REPLY INTERVENTION WILL NOT BE TOLERATED IF THE BOERS DESIRE PEACE THEY CAN LEARN TERMS UPON APPLICATION Shamrock to Mr. Post, provided he adequately fitted her out at his own expense for a contest with Columbia, if it is possible to send Britishers to man the Columbia. Frankly, I would rather see a race between the two yachts this season with American crews aboard of each, which, I think, would be a better test of the relative merits of the two boats." KNOCKING OFF 28 HOURS LONDON, February 4.���The British government replied to Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, that, if the Boers in the field desire to negotiate for peace, negotiations can be entered into, but only in South Africa. The British government adheres to its intention not to accept the intervention of any foreign powers. The text of the reply of the British foreign secretary, lord Lansdowne, is as follows: "You are good enough to lay before me, on January 25th, a communication from the Netherlands' government in which it was proposed that with tlie object of bringing the war to an end, his majesty's government might grant a safe conduct of the Boer delegates now iu Holland, for the purpose, of enabling them to confer with the Boer leaders in South Africa. It is- suggested that after a conference, the delegates might return to Europe, with power to conclude a treaty of peace with this country, and the Netherlands government intimate, that in this event, they might at a later stage be instrumental in placing the Boer plempoten- taries in relation with plenipotentanes who might be appointed by his majesty's government. The Netherlands government intimate that if this project commends itself to his majesty's government, they will enquire of the delegates whether they are prepared to make the suggested visit to South Africa. It may, therefore, be inferred that the communication I received was made on the responsibility of the Netherlands government alone, and without authority from the Boer delegates or leaders. His majesty's government have given it their best consideration, and whilst entirely appreciating the motives of the humanity which led the Netherlands to this propcsali they feel they must adhere to the position adopted and clearly announced by them some months after the commencement of hostilities by the Boers, that it is not their intention to accept the intervention of any foreign power in the South African war. Should the Boer delegates themselves desire to lay a request for a safe conduct before his majesty's government, there is no reason why they should not do so. But his majesty's government, obviously, are not in a position to express an opinion on any such application until they have received it, and are aware of the precise nature and grounds whereon the request is made. "I may, therefore, point out that it is not at present clear to his majesty's government that the delegates ietain any influence over the representatives of the Boers in South Africa, or have- any voice in their councils. They are stated by the Netherlands government to have no such letter of credence oi instruction of a later date than March. 1900. His majesty's government, on the- ="other"=hand^understood���that���all���the- powers of government, including those of negotiation, were now completely vested in Mr. Stein for the Boers of the Orange River Colony, and Mr. Schalken- ��� burger for those in the Transvaal. If this is so, it is evident that the quickest and most satisfactory means of arranging a settlement would be by direct communication between the leaders of the Boer forces in South Africa and the commander in chief of his majesty'? forces, who has already been instructed to forward immediately any offers he may receive for the consideration _f his majesty's rrovernment. "In these circumstances, his majesty's government have decided that if the Boer leaders would desire to enter into negotiations for the purpose of bringing the war to an end, these negotiations must, tako place not in Europe, but in South Africa. It should moreover, be borne in mind that if the Boer leaders are to occupy time in visiting in South Africa, consulting with Boer leaders in the field, and in returning to Europe for the purpose of making known the results of the errand, s period of at least three months would elapse during which hostilities would be prolonged, and much human suffering perhaps needlessly occasioned. I have, etc., (signed) New 0. P. R. Service Respecting the C. P. R. Company's new train service, by which it is proposed to make the run across the continent in three days, the Vancouver World says: About the first of May the Canadian Pacific will put into service a new overland train, to carry exclusively through traffic, which the officers of the company claim will be the most complete in its equipment of any transcontinental train, ever put into service on any road. The cars for this train will be constructed purposely for it, new throughout, the work of constructing them being now in progress at the company's shops at Montreal. The train will consist exclusively of sleeping cars, first and second-class, dining cars, observation cars and mail and baggage cars. There will be no coaches for the accomodation of local traffic for the reason that no local traffic will be handled by this train. Although the running time of the proposed new train has not yet been announced it is officially understood that it will make tlie run from Vancouver to Montreal in three days' time. The train will be run only three days of each week, leaving each terminal" on the run *on each alternate week day. The schedule on which the train will run is now being prepared. In the construction of the equipment for the new service a number of important improvement will be made in the cars. One of the most notable of these is the adoption of a new idea in observation cars, the cars which are under construction having sides almost entirely, of glass, similar to the- glass ends which are in use in the ordinary observation cars now in general use. ���lUie seats in these cars will face the- sides of the car, so it will not be necessary for the passengers to turn around in order too look upon the passing scenery. The sleeping cars will be a com-, bination of the Wagner and Pullman cars in the United States, combining, the most desirable features of each and including in their construction a number of new improvements. 000. This is a move to substitute coke for coal in the local market, and Chicago is expected to benefit by being freed from the smoke nuisance. Of all the plans suggested to rid the city of smoke, the most practical is considered to be the use of coke, and the only reason this has not been put in operation is the high price of coke. The Leiter process, however, promises to make coke as cheap as. the better grades of coal now used for manufacturing pur- noses. The coal lands secured by Leiter are located in Franklin county, near Benton, Illinois, 300 miles south of Chicago. It is the purpose of the syndicate to build a railroad from Benton to a point on the Big Muddy river, about twelve miles south, which will be the terminus of the road. At this point vast coke ovens will be constructed, coal shafts sunk, quarries for building stone opened and other industries started.

LONDON, February 4.���In the house of commons, yesterday evening, major Arthur Lee, Conservative, said that Great Britain had been offered the services of the chief horse expert of the United States armyj as advisor in the purchase of American horses for the British army. -The revelation was made during a heated debate on the remount question, when major Lee said, that, being military attache at Washington he was not informed that there was any intention of buying horses in the United States. He aTtded: "I learned from the American newspapers that British officers had been sent out to buy horses but I was not informed who they were, nor was I asked to: give them as much assistance as my position implied I was competent to give. . At the time I had the opportunity, through the good will of a high official, of getting the services of the chief expert of the United States army, as advisor. I cabled the suggestion to the war ofiice, but I received no reply." The whole debate on this question in the house of commons caused widespread indignation. The ministerial press-vigorously charges the war oflice with absolute incompetency, if nothing worse, and demands a searching inquiry. The Globe suggests that the war secretary, Mr. Broderick, ascertain the identity of the officials responsible for pigeon holing and not acknowledging the communication, for the purpose of summarily and "ighominiously dismissing them. .-''���. The supporters of the government are shocked, not only by the revelations regarding the inefficiency of the war offlce, but more so. by the official tone of Mr. Broderick's" and Mr. Balfour's defenses. .The former claimed ��� merit because he did not suppress the investigating committees report altogether. The Times points out that "It is all right and honorable that a minister should defend by all legitimate means the department he represents, but he is carrying chivalry too far when he implies the right to defend by the suppression of information which dearly concerns parliament and the people to know." The St. James Gazett referring to the further investigation proposed, urged the need of fixing the responsibility of individuals, saying: *'*The nation has been swindled, and it is right that the swindlers, who ever they are, should be brought to book promptly.''

Slavin gave an exhibition, one of his opponents being a colored man. named E. F. .Padmore.

YOKOHAMA, January 24., viat Victoria,'February. 4.���There was much ex- t-pectation here over the arrival ofthe Shinano Maru, a steamer belonging to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, from Seattle- It is understood that.she.was bringing back F. S. Mayer, who is wanted hers on a charge of forgery. Mayer, who Is a Chicago-man, lived here some years, and married a beautiful Eurasian girl by whom he had two. children. He ia a bright young fellow and threw himself into several" enterprises, among; them being the business managership of a foreign, local paper, and the secretaryship of a steam laundry company. Maher lived at a good pace, in the meantime speculating, and circumstances led to the proprietor of the local paper having the books experted, when, it was found that Mayer had taken liberties with the-funds in his control to such an extent as to render, himself liable to penal servitude. Personal considerations, however, effected! a compromise, Maher giving some collateral for his indebtedness and the newspaper proprietor refraining from prosecution. Then it was announced that Mayer was returning to America with his family, and they duly sailed. They had hardly reached America, however, when it was discovered that as secretary1 of the laundry company, he had manipulated the shares so as, it is charged, to obtain some thousands of dollars from the-, .Russo-Chinese bank. The. latter put the cable to work and was soon informed that Mayer had been "arrested in Minneapolis, whence .he would be brought back to Yokohama on the arrival of extradition papers. In some way the rumor became prevalent that he was on the Shinano Maru, the boat which after starting on her last trip for Seattle, put back with her .cargo on fire. 'This was not the only bit of bad luck on her voyage, for as she was nearing Yokohama she ran aground in a heavy fog on a sandy spit, and stuck fast, being only got off in 24 hours, after discharging her cargo into lighters. In the meantime it was ascertained that F. S. Mayer was not on board, so that public expectation, mingled with much sympathy for the wife and family, is still on the alert. J. H.

To realize the ?13,000 odd; required for educational purposes, over and above the amount estimated as receivable from the provincial government for per capita, will require an additional levy of 11 1-2 mills if the whole of this tax is put upon the lands. This would give Nelson a rate of 28 mills upon. the assessed value of its lands, but with a merely nominal tax upon its improvements. It is optional' for the council to place the whole of tbiis tax upon the land values or to divide ;it between the assessed values of the land and the improvements. If this course is adopted it is estimated than an increase of 7 or 7 1-2 mills all round, upon improvements as well as lands, would meet the requirements. This would give a rate of 25 mills upon the lands and of 10 mills upon 50 per cent of the assessed value of improvements. With respect to the shifting of taxation from.lands back upon improvements it may be said that it is contrary to the notions of tax reformers. In Nelson the effect of such a change would be noticed chiefly in the taxation of Baker street property, where it would fall heaviest upon those who have added to the city's appearance by the erection of handsome business premises, and lightest upon the owners of Baker street shacks. {���The statement of city treasurer Was- son dealing with the receipts and expenditures of the city for the past year is an interesting document. Not by any means the least interesting feature in connection with it is the showing made by the city's electric light system. It will be remembered that during the efforts of mayor Fletcher to force the I West Kootenay Power & Light deal upon the ratepayers he repeatedly made the. statement that the . city's electric light system was not earning a cent, that.in short it had never earned a cent. This statement which the mayor said was capable of proof, was rather startling. It was challenged at one in the council, but those who disagreed with his worship had no opportunity of demonstrating by official figures that his statement was incorrect. They have their opportunity now m the city treasurer's statement, which has been certified to be the city auditor. The statement, it is true, is somewhat belated for practical purposes, but in spite of this it is satisfactory to know that the receipts from electric light services have been sufficient during the past year, to pay for maintenance, to p.ty all charges for extensions, to pay for extra power and supplies purchased, to provide-.interest-arid sinking fund charges . upon the whole of the electric light debenture debt, and over and above this leave the city a surplus upon the year's operation of ?500 in round figures, without taking into account the sum of f_022 which the city auditor has seen fit to carry forward as a good asset under the head of electric light arrears.. The city treasurer's statement' of receipts for the-year show that: there was re-" ceived- from the electric, light rates the :;;sum .of ,.?23,684:99, with $62.20 for supplies sold, making a total of $23,749.19. Against this there was expended upon construction account, $3410.82; upon maintenance, $8,228.75; and for supplies, $99; or a total of $12,456.94. If this amount is deducted from the total receipts it will give a balance of $11,290.25. to the credit of the plant for the year's operations. There is still however provision to be made for the interest arid 'sinking fund charges upon the $70,000 worth: of debentures which represents ,:the cost of the; electric light system up -ito'date. This calculated, at 9 per cent ''requires the further sum of $6300, jWhich,: if dediicjed from the sum of ,$11,290.25, shows the net earning of the ^electric light plant to have been but $10 'short of $5000. Put into other words the .electric light plant is paying for its maintenance, its extensions and its 'purchase out of its receipts and earning -4n addition a bonus of $5000 a year for 'the city. Most people under the cir- -.cumstances will incline to the belief *that the electric light system is paying, arid paying rather well. 1 The waterworks- system is another public utility which is managed by the corporation. Like the electric light system it has also proved a profitable investment though its profits have not 'been as great. For the past year the 'receipts from the water works service were $17,920, and the charges for maintenance and construction $8429, leaving :a balance of $11,491. There are debenture accounts against waterworks construction of $55,000, to which should also be added upwards of $30,000 which was spent upon waterworks construction out of the proceeds of Nelson's first loan of $50,000 for general purposes, frhis will give a total charge against waterworks of $85,000. To provide interest and sinking fund upon this amount requires $7650, which, deducted from the balance of $11,491, leaves the net earnings of the system over all charges $3841. When it is considered that for the next year or so the growth of this business will be less rapid than that of the past three years the city's profit margin is not unduly large, nor more than that which safe business principles require. This being so it is idle to expect any general reductions in the charges for water srvics which, in the charges for water services which, with those of other western cities.

SOME DEEP SEA ROMANCES Mysteries of the Deep The most mysterious salvage story on record was published in the London papers on January 15th, 1894. It was as follows: Advices have been received of the arrival at Galveston, Texas, of the Norwegian barque "Elsa Anderson" having in tow the hull of an English- built brig, which had, apparently, been burned at sea more than fifty years ago, and which appeared on the surface of the ocean after a submarine disturbance off the Faroe islands. The hull of the strange derelict was covered with sea shells, but the hold and underdecks contained very little water. In the captain's berth were found several iron- bound chests, the contents of which had been reduced to pulp, except a leather bag, which required an axe to open it. In it were guineas bearing the date of 1809, and worth over a thousand pounds. There were also several watches, and a stomacher of pearls, blackened and rendered useless by the action of the water. Three skeletons were also found���one of a man nearly seven feet high. Now, the submarine disturbance is perhaps correct, for the Faroe banks are volcanic ground, and submarine volcanoes have been known to throw up volumes of hot water. But the wreck would have come up full of water, not empty, and nobody would be fool enough Co tow a useless wreck from the far north in the Atlantic to a port in the Mexican gulf. Perhaps, like other deep-sea romances, the true story will never be told. What became, for instance, of the crew of the St. Clair, a fine schooner, built at Plymouth in 1890? The steamer Delta picked her up at sea, with all sail set, and not a soul on board! There was absolutely nothingwrong with the schooner, and she made a fine prize for the Delta. In 1861 a French steamer found the ship "Marie Celeste" of Gibraltar, under full sail, and abandoned.: .The cabin- table, was set with a meal half-eaten; in.the sewing machine was a piece of half-finished work. The compasses were all right, the captain's and mate's watches were still going, there was abundance of food and water, and no signs of sickness or distress. flTie vessel had sailed from New York with thirteen pasengers, including the captain's wife and daughter, and now, after twenty- four years, their fate is still an absolute mystery. Then there is the story of the French Atlantic liner "Amerique." A British tramp-steamer found her in the Bay of Biscay abandoned, with nothing the matter, except that the cabin tanks had gone wrong, and there was wau-r on the cabin floor The furnaces were nearly out, but the English crew fired up, and took the splendid prize into Falmouth, making a small fortune out of the salvage. In this case the story is well-known. One evening, in fine weather, as the Amerique's officers and passengers were at dinner in the saloon, water began to run across the floor. A lady, finding her foot wet, screamed out that the ship was sinking. Officers, passengers, and crew seized with uncontrollable panic took to .the boats. They left the ship to her fate and were afterwards picked up by a passing vessel. In 1884 the "Clievden" discovered: a valuable prize on the high seas���a 1500 ton steamer abandoned between Rotterdam and London. Somebody had opened the sea-cock of the donkey engine, which was pumping water into her until she was in a sinking condition, and had been left to her fate. The "Clievden's" officers got $20,000 fpr turning off that tap and towing the vessel home. One of the querest treasures ever picked up at sea was the famous ancient Egyptian monument Cleopatra's Needle. This singly-wrought stone, over 80 feet long, was too big and too heavy to be carried home in a ship, so a vessel was built around it���a - steel cylinder��� which was towed by a steamer. In the Bay of Biscay the weather was bad, the cylinder got unmanageable, and the tow-line had to be cut. A passing tramp picked up the queer monster, and with great difficulty and danger, dragged into Ferol, and so won a reward "of $10,000. Another odd derelict was a gas float, 5U feet long, which, in 1S95, drifted out of the Humber, and was found at sea. It puzzled the finders, it puzzled the county court, it puzzled the judges of the high court of admiralty. Certainly it was a derelict, but certainly it was not a ship within the meaning of the act, and the reward for towing it home was only $70. There seems to be only .one case of a passenger being rewarded for the saving of a vessel, and he happened to rescue the "Great Eastern." The old giant of the seas was huge in size, but with all her bulk of 25,000 tons, she was helpless in a gale. Once, crossing from New York, she was within 280 miles of Cape Clear, when a big storm swept down un her.

So, with her crew of 400 people, 400 passengers, and a valuable cargo besides, not to mention a hull worth $500,000, she lay helplessly disabled and in mortal danger. It was in her, extremity that one of the passengers, an engineer, invented a piece of machinery which would bring the rudder under control.

TESTIMONY IS STARTLING Whittaker Wright Examined LONDON, January 15.���Not since the sensational failure of Truest Terah Hooley some years ago has any case aroused such widespread Interest in tho llnanclal ami commercial world as the examination of Whitaker Wright in connection with tho affairs of the London & Ulobo and British America Corporations. At an early hour on both Monday and Tuesday mornings a large crowd besieged the bankruptcy court and throughout the proceedings on both days the court was tilled to overllowlng. During the whole of Monday and Tuesday Whitaker AVright was In the witness box and, owing to the fatigue which he felt on account of his recent illness, it wa.s agreed that his' further examination should be postponed until Monday next. Registrar Hood presided, while Mr. G. S. Barnes, the senior oilicial registrar, conducted the examination of Whitaker AVright, the proceedings being watched by a large array of counsel, eminent in commercial cases, or on behalf of shareholders, creditors and other Interested parties. After a few preliminaries had been settled on Monday Mr. Barnes announced that he would at once call Whitaker Wright, and the groat financier stepped into the witness box. Tall and stout, quietly, yet well dressed, Whitaker Wright looks the very embodiment of a city magnate. As soon as Whitaker Wright had been sworn, Mr. Barnes at once began his examination. After eliciting that Mr. Wright was managing director of the London ��V- Globe, British America and Standard l_x- ploration Corporations and that all three concerns were in the same ollice. witness was led up to the formation of the London & Globe Kinance Corporation. Witness explained that it was a continuation and amalgamation of two other companies, each of whiehhad a capital of ��200,000. The purchase price payable by tho London & Globe was ��1,600,000, the capital being ��2,000,000. AVitness stated that there was no reason for the increase of capital; he had opposed tho increase but had submitted to the wish of the shareholders. AVhen questioned regarding payments for the introduction of directors, witness, declared with emphasis that he had never paid anything for introductions, nor had he ever given qualifying shares to directors. The promotion of tho British America Corporation was- then dealt with, witness stating that the profit to the Globe was about ��350,000. Hon. C. H. Mackintosh was the vendor to the Globe, the consideration being .1*100,000. That sum was not mentioned in the British America prospectus, witness laying the omission on the shoulders of the corporation's solicitor, who, he naively remarked, should bo responsible for the technical part of the prospectus considering the heavy fees they drew. Continuing his criticism of the British America prospectus, Mr. Barnes contended that it should have stated that only "options" were to be purchased, to which the witness replied that the ordinary investor knew thoroughly what he was purchasing, and that had all mentioned in the prospectus been property, the capital would have run' to many millions. Witness contended that the solicitors were responsible for tho phraseology and mentioned that neither tho option on the Alaska Commercial Company nor the first on the Le Roi was exercised. Regarding the financial condition of the Globe, witness admitted that at times it was short of capital and had borrowed large sums from the British America Corporation, while in the next breath he declared that tho British America had always been a mill stone around the Globe's neck, as they had never had anything but litigations and trouble out of it, and could not get any of their money back. AVitness explained that the Globe had always bought shares in its promotions when they were weak, and sold when they were strong, that being, in witness' opinion, sound business and the habit of the exploration com- ^panies._The-companies--jointl>-prornoted=Dy^ the Globe and British America were the Le Roi, ISast and West Le* Roi and Columbia- Kootenay, for which comparatively large sums had been paid, and upon the promotion of which the parent companies made a profit of ��450,000. - The balance sheets of the Globe then came In for criticism bv Mr. Barnes, who contended that just before their issue the indebtedness to the British America was wined out bv the transfer of certain shares, which were afterwards immediately ro- tiansforred. On this point witness appeared rather liazv and declared that if such shares appeared to the credit of the British America thev had heen bought to make a profit. AVitness was also unable to make clear the reason for certain loans he had mado to the Globe previous to the issue of a balance sheet, and which were also immediately after its issue repaid. The British America balance sheets were not criticised, witness being unable to remember many details, which led the receiver to remark that the same policy ot "window dressing" appeared to have been pursued bv this company previous to the issuance of its balance sheets. The dotation of the Le Roi No. 2 wa.s then dealt with, this concern having a capital of .-fiOO.OOO, the public subscriptions amounting to about ��250,000. Some laughter was caused by witness' explanation of the famous "corner' in No. 2's Following Us usual course the Globe bought heavily and actually contracted for about 2o,000 more than existed in the hands oC the public. This action was not deliberate with the intention of making a corner, and no one was more surprised than witness himself. AVitness stated that one day the Globe accountant informed him that No. 2 shares were being offered in thousands and that he was frightened about a collapse, and asked for instructions. Witness toWh-m to buv up all that was offered. What.happened?" asked the oilicial receiver. AVhit- taker Wright: "What happened presently was that the price advanced." (Laughter.) On this speculation the Globe made about ��125,000 profit, while witness himsc sol MOO shares at a profit ol ��50.000. l-I * n.ui onnllPd for that number of shares, thinking that" he might get n small proportion, but instead of that he received them .ill. He paid .-25.000 for them, and when the market advanced he sold them fpr ��(5,000, a pro it of ��10 per share. But. witness con- Being asked to explain a statement made it n meeting of the "British America Cor- nointion tlat he had no hesitation that SrTth n "wen y-rour hours ho could form a syndicate to take over the securities hold Mr Barnes then turned to tho huge speculations of the Globe, which proved its undoing. Wiincss stated that tho result was "irnnlv disastrous, as thoy had paid out no ie"s than ��1.000,000. At Iho time tho gigantic speculation was started the Lake View was paying ��i per share per annum in THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE WITH WHICH IB AMALGAMATED THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

The Globe thought it would bo advantageous to secure contrul and thereby assure themselves of ��500,000 per annum, engineers were engaged ai a high ilgure to examine the mine, one ninn receiving ��10,000. The reports were favorable, so all available shares were purchased, immediately after the rate of production dropped from S0.00O to 10,000 ounces per nionih, and the shares fell from 20, the purchase price, to 12 or 13, and bad war news caused a further decline. This broke the market and they hud to lind ��1,000,000, -witness personally putting up ��300,000 or ��100,000. ��� Some further merriment was caused bv witness' unintentional purchase of .1*60,000 worth of Standard shares. His stock broker told him the market was weak and witness told him to buy all shares on offer. That evening the Globe accountant told him they had had a "royal day" in Standards, and had sold 50,000 shares.-The next day witness found that he himself had been the purchaser. Air. Barnes then took the witness back to the balance sheets, requesting specially an explanation for the surrender by the Globe of 250 000 British America shares out of the 500,000 assigned to the Globe on the Dritish America notation. Witness said that he Kail* opposed the surrender, but had complied eventually, as the majority of the directors favored such a course. Mr. Wright, was questioned at considerable length on this point, and admitted that the corporation's solicitors advised that the surrender was not legal. Nevertheless the surrender was carried out. Witness was asked in detail for particulars of various speculations, Mr. Barnes endeavoring to show that some of the as-, sets had llgured in the balance sheet twice and also that the same assets did duty in both the Globe and British America statements. These transactions were of great magnitude, deals Involving ��200,000 or ��300,- 000, being referred to by witness as small matter*. Renewed interest was shown when- Mr. Barnes said that he would pass to the question of shares issued to directors in order to qualify. This action witness defended by staling that directors could not get to buy shares in auxiliary companies at their promotion. Tho shares were given for services rendered, but could not be sold, the said directors acted as trustees. Lord Dim- moro's <<ase was referred to and witness explained Ihat he went to New Caledonia on behalf of the Globe in a sort of diplomatic capacity to arrange matters with the French government. For these services he received a-'certain amount of cash and the shares. ���. ' Probably the most important part of the whole of the examination was next investigated, namely, the subject of "Press calls," nnd on this point witness wns examined at great length on both Monday and Tuesday. At the outset witness stoutly denied that ho had been in the habit of paying largo sums to the press, and also declared that since 1S9S he had never signed a single press call. Since that date a reporter or pressman had never been admitted into his rooms, and he had not paid a single penny to the press at the time of tho various 'notations. AVitness admitted that he had given advico to people to buy and sell shares of the various companies. A contract note was put In showing that on November 2lith, 1901, a number of shares were sold bv he Globe at 5'/s. and on the following dav repurchased at 5%. making a loss to the corporation of ��SU75. Witness declared that he knew nothing of the matter and had never seen the contract note. AVitness reiterated his previous declaration that he had had no dealings with.the press, but added the important omission that he had told the chief accountant that he might do as he liked in the matter of the press. The proceedings were then adjourned until yesterday. On Tuesday Mr. Barnes resumed his questioning in regard to "press calls," and witness made some important admissions on the subject, but threw the onus on tho chief accountant. He explained that It Is well known that the press would not render any assistance to a company or publish its quotations unless it receives some consideration. AVhen the Globe decided to do away with press calls it always set aside certain shares for "market purposes." These were dealt with by th^Globel.sOjrokt- -res=uhder-lhsfructions_fr6m the chief accountant. The contract note referred to witness declared to be an honest purchase and sale, and opposed Mr. BaVnes' contention that it caused a heavy loss to the Globe. Witness then gave the names of some of those who benefitted by the deal. They were connected with the "Financial News," ���'.Financial Times," "Citizen" and some Australian papers. Questioned whether "Truth" did not get a share, the witness stated that the owner of "The Citizen" was one of tho editors of "Truth," nnd they got it that way. (Laughter.) Witness once more asserted that ho had nothing to do with the matter; tho whole business, was arranged by tho chief accountant. The examination on this matter was continued at great legnth, many other names and papers being mentioned, including the "Dully Mail" and the "Empire," the representative of the latter being described by witness as such a "very active journalist that ho would give us no peace until hu got h'.s share." (Loud laughter.) The examination regarding press calls occupied the remainder of Tuesday's session, and, as already mentioned, the proceedings wore then adjourned until Monday next. As might have only been expected several of the newspapers referred to in the examination as having received a share in various transactions have published denials, in most cases the announcements state that the persons referred to are no longer connected with the journals, or else that tho "transactions of course were without the knowledge or sanction of the management!"

BOER SPY'S TRAGIC END ' Incident of Roodekraal Drift We Avere lounging under the verandah of an hotel in Bloemfontein smoking and yarning when I first noticed the scar on Watson's cheek. "Narrow shave, that," I said, pointing with my pipe to the scar. "Yes, too close to be pleasant," replied Watson. "There's a bit of a story attached to it, if you care to listen. It will at least pass the time away until it gets cool enough for a walk." "Fire away," I answered, for Watson's yarns are generally worth listening to. Watson moved his chair closer in the shade, lit his pipe, after a few preliminary AVhiffs, proceeded to relate the folloAvins story: "It occurred," he said, "the morning after the fight at Roondekaral Drift. 1 was intelligence officer to Methuen's column at the time. The fight, was a pretty sharp affair while it lasted. The Boers were entirely surprised and left the major portion of their convoy in our NELSON BRANCH, BURNS BLOCK.

Unfortunately our horses were completely exhausted, otherwise very feAV of the commandoes would have succeeded in getting away. However, we accounted for the majority of these pretty soon after- Avards. We bivouacked on the ground of the fight, and the next morning I saddled up early intending to have a look around to see if I could pick up any stray information. I interviewed some of the Avounded, but, as you know, the Boer is not a very voluDle talker at any time, and 1 soon found that it was as hopeless a task to gam information from them as to get a civil answer from a newly appointed staff oflicer. I gal-* loped over the ground, and spied a small eminence Avhich commanded a. good vieAV of the surrounding country. I had just reached the top, and was adjusting, my glasses, when flip-flop, came the report of a Mauser; and simultaneously the glasses were knocked from my hand, and I felt a stinging sensation in my cheek as I dropped to the ground. Sheltering my head against a convenient boulder I peered round the side, and looked in the direction from which I judged the shot had been fired.* A scarcely perceptible haze of smoke hung in the air, proclaiming the hiding, place of the marksman. I covered this spot with my carbine, after noiselessly releasing the 'cut-off and shoving the bolt home. Presently I perceived a slouch hat and a part of a jacket, which I allOAved to develop into a face and upper part, of a man, then I fired, and had the satisfaction of seeing him tumble face downward on the ground. I walk-' ed over ��� to. where he lay, first inserting a fresh cartridge, for experience has taught me never to count a Boer dead till I have seen him buried. He was stone dead, however, when I reached him; my bullet had struck him right over the heart. Presumably he had mistaken my sudden drop to earth, and must have been convinced that his shot had gone home. If so, it was a fatal mistake for him. I turned him over and it was then that I discovered the reason of his close proximity to our camp. He had been, wounded in the fight of the previous day, a mass of clotted blood was visible over the ankle of his veldt shoes. Doubtless he had intended to crawl' to my horse, after accounting for me, and make his escape in this manner. During my examination I observed a bundle of papers sticking out from the inside pocket of his jacket, and these I appropriated, intending to peruse the contents on my arrival in camp. I rode back and reported the occurrence to the general, and subsequently Ave went through the papers together. Prom them we gathered that the dead man had been playing a double role. While ostensibly a guide in the British army, under the intelligence department, he was, in reality, a Boer spy. We gathered also that the commando were actually on their way to attack.a small British post nearby, Avhen we providentially came up with them. Notwithstanding their diminishing numbers, they endeavored to carry out this programme. Fortunately we Avei*e-_able_-to-Avarn=4he-gamson=^by��� a- heliograph message. Reinforcement were sent for, and the Boers for once found the tables turned completely upon them. As I intimated previously, very few of the tAVo commandoes escaped this time, as the commandant of the garrison was enabled by our timely warning to lay a counter tray for the Boers. Had it not been for my. fortunate discovery, the attack would in all probability have succeeded, as the place was insufficiently garrisoned, and moreover, tlie Boers, thanks to the traitorous guide, were furnished Avith a capital sketch of the Avhole position. Some weeks after this I was engaged in watching the movement of certain commandoes, Avith a view of ascertaining the reason of a rumored concentration. I had been directed to take up (luui'tcrs at a small farm, near our lines, occupied by the wife of one of our own corps. I went over early in the day, and aviis met at the door by a remarkably pretty woman, little more than a girl, Avho seemed stahgely out of place in this desolate country. I was proceeding to state the reason of my visit in Dutch,. Avhen she burst out Avith a merry, ringing laugh, "I am English," ,<l_{> said, "ii3 you are, if I am not greatly mistaken." I'assented and apologized for my dulleuss in not perceiving that she was from the old country. Although I had already breakfasted, I could not resist a proffered cup of coffee from such a charming source. During our conversation, the tenor of Avhich Avas naturally turned to the Avar in general, she asked me if I had ever met her husband. "I couldn't say," I answered, "as I have not the pleasure of knowing your name." "Of course, not," she replied, "but wait, 1 have a photograph of him." She returned in a moment Avith a photograph, and as she handed it to me she remarked, "I am Mrs. Mayo," then she stopped suddenly, "but I see you have not met him." I stammered out something about the face being familiar, for in the photograph I saw a counterpart of the man I had killed on the morning after the fight at the drift. Watson paused for a moment, and then Avent on, "I could not bring myself to tell her that the man she called 'husband' would never return to her again. Nor did she ever know his true character. He was reported in the casualty list as 'killed in action, Roode- kraal drift, intelligence scout." ��� ^^Sm\ _^M^^^E _^^^^^k _^^fl^^�� __t^_m\ _^fl^^S _^^I^Bfe ^^^H^fe ^^IB^fc 4^^^^Bt j^m^m^mm^ 0m^Bmmm^ 0^mMmm^ ^^fl^^^^ 0*^^Bb *^^mmm%^ ^^^mmmW ^m^&utfmT *4fl^hV ^flB^^^ f^^^ktf^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^B^ ^^^^hP' *^IB^V ^^^^hl^ ^m^m^mm^ ^^m^mmm^ ^^^kft^ ^^1^^^^ ^mmmmmw* 4^M^^V ^B^mmm0 ^^^^^^^ 4i^few ' m��� to 9\ to to to to to to to to to ���******************************************************************^ 1890-E1STABI-ISHBD IN NBLSON-1902 ���# ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft ft $ charge this month.

Tho carnival at the rink last night was a great success both in the attendance and the variety of costumes. The favorite representations were the Indian and tramp. Many historical and literary characters were represented. The sudden thaw seriously mitigated against the enjoyment of the skaters, as the Ice was very heavy.

Ho reports mining operations in the district as particularly active. The Arlington mine is shipping more ore than ever before. The Second Relief mine has been closed down for some time owing to .the flume having frozen up. It is expected that it will renew operations as soon as the weather permits. H. R. Stovel, assayer at the Arlington mine, near Erie, arrived in Nelson yesterday. He reports everything as running well at the mine. The thermometer dropped to 16 degrees below zero, but there was no freeze-up with the flume and the mill has been running steadily. The mine continues to look remarkably well and is keeping up its shipments of two cars of high grade ore and concentrates daily. A man of the name of Boeley, better known as "Red," was taken in charge by the police yesterday and placed in the city lockup. Immediately following his incarcer- atfon he became boisterous and had to be placed in close confinement. For a time it was feared that he was graduating for the asylum. Dr. LaBau was called in and examined the prisoner and reported the case as one of too much booze, with an approach to delirium tremens. A. Macodnald, of the firm of A.

An accident occurred last evening at the skating rink to Miss Hembroff, one of the Ladies in costume at the carnival. During the exhibitions ot" the costumes she tripped on the ice, and the gentleman who was skating with her fell over her. The lady fainted and had to be taken to an adjoining residence.

JOCKEYS FLOGK TO EUROPE Do Better Than in America Turfman believe that something should be done to keep the crack jockeys in the game as long as possible. Spencer, it is said, will not ride here again, as he will go to England, where he can receive plenty of mounts even if he has grown too big to work regularly here. Nash Turner will stay here and ride occasionally for AV. C. Whitney, by whom Turner has been pronounced "the best jockey in America." Lester Reiff, who is under the ban, could not get many mounts here because of the existing scale, AVhile in England he would be kept busy, provided, of course, the English stewards should see fit to reinstate him. Taral is going to Austria again and so are a number of other American jockeys who And that they can thrive in Europe. Good jockeys are very scarce, as some of our best owners know from experience, so that it is a wonder that the proposed changes by the California and Chicago are being commended wildly. Harry Cochran will not ride for Mr. Whitney this year,"it is said, unless he can sign a contract which will stipulate that Mr. Whitney cannot send the . boy to England. Cochran has already refused to sign with Mr. Mackay because he was asked to exercise horses in the morning, thereby illustrating the growing independence of the American jockey, which is somewhat amusing when the average boy's career is thought of. A jockey's development begins as early as his fourth year. From that time until he is eight years old he does nothing but. lead horses around the track. Never in that time is he allowed to get into the saddle. The modern trainer holds such a tedious apprenticeship indiapensable. He has an exalted regard for the horse and looks upon him as an exquisite and delicate mechanism to handle which requires infinite skill. When a 'hoy enters a jockey school he shuts the world behind him and proceeds to devote all energy of body and mind to his profession. The early training of these boys is thorough, severe and relentless.*- They sleep in a loft over the horses. Summer and winter they are awakened before the sun begins to throw its rays up from the east. They jump into their clothes and wash the sleep out of their eyes at the stable pump. Then for two hours each boy "exercises his string," which means walking a number of thoroughbreds upon the track until they are warm. After breakfast���and the food at a jockey school is of the most nourishing sort���the boys exercise another string and then do chores until the dinner hour. In the afternoon they ride horses up and doAvn ���' in easy jogging trips on the track, and then have several hours for recreation, going to bed at 8 o'clock sharp. Tlie :trainers encourage the boys to indulge in swimming-, running, ball playing and-boxing so that they may be rugged in health, and thereby be able to stand the strain of reducing weight later on. Extreme youth and brightness are the cardinal features of.jockeys in this country. For some reason it is believed that a rider, after reaching manhood, deteriorates, because he gains weight and losses courage, but this is hard to believe. While jockeys are being developed, the trainers ��� watch them narrowly. "They study the boy's hands, feet, body and eyes; explain the peculiarities of horses and school the youngsters to forget, there is such a thing as fear. But the trainers cannot develop the intuitaveness which has-maae the Reiffs, Sloan, Maher, Henry and others what 'they are. They must be born in the boy and he must know what to do with it. The growth of these boys is remarkable, especially when it is considered that in the space of eight or ten years they become proficient enough to command salaries of $15,000 a year or more.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-02-05 |
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. |
