eSSfesss^sSfaasSsassad^^ m&on ESABLISHED 1892' THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY fc| SPLIT WIDE OPEN TEMPLEMAN BOLTS CONVENTION THE EXECUTIVE OFFICERS EXCLUDED BY THE CREDENTIAL COMMITTEE'S REPORT VANCOUVER, February 6.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The Liberal convention met this afternoon at 2 o'clock and adjourned until evening, after four hours session. Senator Templeman occupied the chair, and the meeting was very lively. In the morning a caucus of Vancouver and the interior had been held, at which it was resolved to object to the extra Cassiar delegation which -. came from Victoria headed by captain John Irving, the regularly elected Cas- ..siar delegation being also present. It was agreed to object to members of the provincial executive taking seats as delegates, to the method of calling the convention, and to the executive appointing a credential committee for the convention from among its own number. At noon another caucus was held/at which it was agreed that credentials ought to be passed upon by regularly accredited and elected delegates and not by members of the executive, about Whom there was a question of the right of sitting in the convention itself. In opening the convention, '���remple- lnan said the provincial executive had appointed a credential committee to : pass on delegates, about whom no dispute existed and at a later session, Nanaimo and Cassiar, and at other places which had sent two sets of delegates, could be considered. Frank Burnett, Vancouver, proposed a resolution appqihtng a new committee ':'��� on credentials from among the- delegates, one from each district. , The charman held that the meeting had not yet organized and refused to put the motion. . , ":'-'���'. Mr. Burnett���-"Then Twill put; it.'' ������- The chair���-"I'wHI "put'^if this" *way."' All in favor of. the chair being sustained say 'aye.' .(cries of aye.') ; The chairman���All against say 'no.' (noes voted.} The chairman���"I think, the chairman is supported." Many cries of "no, no." A standing vote was taken, resulting in the chairman declaring,, "the chair is not sustained. I am _ compelled to submit Mr. Burnett's resolution." The credentials committee was accor-. dingly. elected and the meeting adjourned. VANCOUVER, February 6.���The Liberal convention today all but broke up in a row similar to that which ended the previous convention. As It was, twenty odd Victoria delegates left the hall, including Bodwell,-Duff and. other prominent Liberals, together with senator Templeman, E. B. Davis and all other members of the provincial' executive committee. .The session was altogether a remarkable one. When the meeting opened in the evening J. C. Brown, chairman of the credential committee, stated it as the decision of the committee that all "present'shouldTetirerand'conie'in'agaii-r on roll, which was approved by the committee, being called. The roll excluded the editors of the Liberal papers, the members of the provincial executive, and tjie second Cassiar and Nanaimo. delegations. Half of the audience agreed .to retire and walked towards the door, while the others remained seated. This was as far as they got and for two hours of heated discussion the meeting remained divided, half standing, half seated. Finally a motion was passed to exclude the members of the executive, the editors, and that the delegates, about whose credentials there was no question, being alone allowed to vote. Senator Templeman then vacated the chair, and some forty men left the hall. George R. Maxwell, M. P., was then elected as the new president of the pro- . vincial Liberal Association, with T. S. . Baxter secretary. Sir Wilfred Laurier's nomination for honorary president was endorsed by "Joe" Martin, who declared that he and Laurier were very friendly, after which the meeting adjourned until tomorow. In the course of the evening's proceedings there was a very sharp passage between senator Templeman and J. C. Brown, the defeated finance minister in ' the Dunsmuir cabinet. It developed that the casting vote of the latter in the credential. committee had been needed to exclude the executive. Senator Tempi e- .man in one of his retorts said he had f'jbeen Liberal when Brown was too cow- hardly to be one. fer to the United Staes of the financial claims now held by Denmark against the colonial treasures of the islands, it being agreed that these claims are altogether extinguished in consequence of the cession. The title conveys to the United States the absolute fee and ownership of all public' government or crown lands, public buildings, ports, harbors, fortifications, barracks and all other public property of every kind and description belonging to the government of Denmark, it being, however, agreed that the arms and military -stores existing in the islands at the time remain the property of that government, and shall, as soon as circumstances permit, be removed by.it.

Colombia's Internal Troubles COLON, February 6.���The rumor that the steamer Libertador, now operating in the interests of the Matos revolution against president Castro of Venezuela, had been sunk at Puerto.

Alleged ' "Gainsborough" Thief LONDON, February 6.���'The police here have just been informed of the death, a few days ago, of Adam Worth, Sultan's Brother-in-law Outlawed ' CONEirANTINOPLE, February 6.��� The sultan's brother-In-lw, Damad Mahmud Pasha,, has been sentenced to death. Mahmud has long been prominent in the. young Turk movement and was recently expelled from Greece at the behest of the.sultan. Muhmud went to Rome and the sultan requested his expulsion from Italy. It was refused hut-Muhmud proceeded to Paris where he remains in safety. All the sultan's blandishments have failed to-induce him to return to Constantinople, so the crim- ina court was.instructed to issue a warrant for Muhrhud's- arrest, and to try the fugitive by default, with the result- that he was "condemned to 'death.. '" Damad Mahmud .fled-from Turkey on December, 1899, taking with him his wife's jewels and all the money he could collect. He-was accompanied by his two sons, princes Sabaggedit and Luth- .falla. Learning that he had gone to ^France-=the^-Turkish=goyernment^tele-= graphed the.. French minister of foreign affairs, M.. Del Casse, asking for the ar-'. rest of the fugitive and his return to' Constantinople, on * the charge that he was implicated in a plot to assassinate the sultan. This accusation, however,. was generally discredited and it was believed the refugee was the victim of intrigue. Mahmud subsequently declared at Paris that the charge that he appropriated money and accepted bribes was a calumny, and that he was a patriot and was being prosecuted by political intriguers. Mahmud is about 50 years of age. ��� The sultan, after Mahmud's flight, decreed the divorce of his sister. Mahmud realized two. million franee jtist before his departure, but his principal estates were confiscated and he and his sons were officially proclaimed renegades and outlaws. ���'���' PEKIN, February 6.:-V-The British, American" and Japanese^rhinisters here have renewed their opposition to the Manchurian arrangements between China and Russia. It Is probable that thisv action will result.-in the further postponement of this treaty. The powers;, in the opposition to the Manchurian treaty are now beginning to recognize the force of the representations of the Chinese plenipotentiaries, that- China is making the best terms possiblei for herself, and incidentally "^for the equal rights of the other nations in China, and are shifting their protests to Russia as the responsible party. ;Paul "Lessar, the ���Rusian minister here, is|endeavoring to maintain the transparent diplomatic fiction that .'the Mahchvjrian treaty and the- Russo-Chinese ban***! agreement are not related. . He has. informed his colleagues that the Russian government has no official knowledge, of the negotiations of the Russo-Chinese bank. The Russian agents are playing their part with the greatest regard : for appearances, while M. Lessar- is arranging the treaty with China.- In the^ light of the statements of Chinese"'officials, which were repeated yesterday; i-namely, that Russia0 insists upon* the simultaneous signing of the Manchurian treaty and the bank agreement, the representations of M. Lessar fail to carry: weight. The native newspapers are filled with stories that. Russia is trying to gain her ends by offers of heavy bribes. ���; Germany remains a disinterested'. spectator of the affair:^-. '_'*���;������ v..".^.'..V,} :iv,v- . '":.'"

Mr. Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, added the information that if the leaders of the Boer forces proposed to accept lord Kitchener's negotiations for a settlement, the proposition would be forwarded for the consideration of the government.

An official of the Hotal DIeu hospital says the patient was brought there In a most distressing condition early in January.

This was through a package addressed to a brother, with whom the hospital authorities had placed themselves ln communication. How he got to Montreal, and what he did before discovery In the woods, nearly dead, is a mystery. ^__ MORGAN'S LARGE PROFITS COLONIAL PREMIERS OFFER PREFERENCE POPULATION BY PROVINCES HIS TOUGHING TALE OF WOE Russell Challenges Unionists - DUBLIN,' February 6.�����rhe election for a member of parliament in the east division of county Down, to succeed Dr. J. A. Rentoul, Conservative, elected without, opposition in 1900, who was recently appointed a judge in the city of London, has resulted as follows: James Wood, land purchase candidate, 3574; colonel R. H. Wallace, unionist, 3,429; Wood's majority, 147. The result is that the opposition gains a seat in parliament and is the first fruits of the Russel compulsory land purchase. campaign against the government.

He said they had beaten the landlords and the government and the "entire parliamentary deadheads of Ulster." Overcome hy Goal Gas ERIE, Pennsylvania, February 6.��� The entire family of Grant Shirley, a Lake Shore brakeman, including his wife and five children, were overcome by escaping fuel gas at their home last night.

Earned Good Dividends CLEVELAND, February 6���A bottle of carbolic acid, a touching good-bye letter to his aged mother and the ability to apply a little dramatic art to good effect are the stock in trade of a clever swindler who has been operating in several cities' in Ohio and the eastern states during the past few weeks. .A few days ago a scene of the most tragic interest was enacted in the Russel street Baptist church, at Columbus, -where-the-Rev.-Codville-was^conducting- a revival meeting. A man, who gave his name as John Kinney and purport-, ing "to come from Cleveland, arose, from his seat during the progress of the meeting and rushed forward with a bottle of carbolic acid in his outstretched hand. He begged the pastor to take it, saying that he had bought it with the intention of ending his own unfortunate career, but that in passing the church he had heard the strains of music and had stepped in to join in a farewell hymn and prayer, before closing forever the drama of his own life. The minister's words and the sweet music had spoken to. him as they had never appealed to him before. They had worked a miracle .of peace within and he had decided not to take his life. He also produced a farewell letter to his mother, a document couched in the most pathetic terms. ' A collection was taken up, tears were shed in plenty, and with a heart full of gratitude and a pocket full of coin, the smoothest swindler. that ever invaded the state left for Cleveland. The affair got into the papers and its publicity led to an interchange of correspondence between pastors of divers churches throughout the state who had similar experiences with the man with a penchant for suicide. Chief of police Corner, of this city, was notified yesterday and is looking-for Kinney. The man has also operated under the name of Stahl. He worked his tearful story to good effect in Dayton on January 21st. He is also said to have been successful in taking up a liberal collection from a congregation in Brooklyn.Jn the latter city he relieved a church member of a suit of clothes after the latter had taken him in. His dramatic art is said to be worth going a long way to see and the touching epistle to his mother, in which he tells her of his decision to ring down the curtain on the last act of his life, is couched in phraseology that would shiver a heart of oak. Another Census Bulletin [ OTTAWA, February 6.���The census '.bulletin number three has been issued by chief census commissioner Blue. It contains the population of the provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotiat Prince Edward Island, and Quebec, by census districts. It also contains the census of the several incorporated cities, towns and villages of the four provinces. ','"-. ������ In New Brunswick the rural population was 253,835, as against" 272,362 in 1891. The total population of the province was 331,120, as against 321,263 in 1891. -In Nova Scotia the total population was 459,574, as against 450,396 in 1891. The urban population was 129,383, as compared with 76,993 in 1891. In Prince Edward Island the population was 103,259, compared with 109,078 in' 1891. The rural population was 8S.304, as against 94,823 In 1891,- and the 'urban population was 14.955, as against 14,255 In 1891. In Quebec the population was 1,648,898, as against 1,488,535 in 1891. The rural population was 992,667, as against 988,820 in 1891. It will therefore be seen that with the exception of Quebec there is a considerable decrease in the rural population in all four provinces.

February 6.���The remains of ''Father" Pal Irwin, who died in tho Hotel Dleu hospital hero recently, after Underwriting Paid $58,500,000 NEW YORK, February 6.���The syndicate, v headed by J. P. Morgan & .Co.,; which -did * the underwriting of the United. States Steel l Corporation, made ai net profit" of $56,500,000, -j : according to the^ Evening- Post's Interprets,-v tion of the report made last Wednesday by' the company. ��� - ' - ".*..'��������� - ' The Post says the syndicate undertook- the conversion of the-stocks to be: com-' 'prised In the amalgamation; it supplied the requisite cash, leaving no less a sum than $25,000,000.-actually at the disposal of the. syndicate managers. It took certain risks, but Its eventual profits were so enormous as to justify the ru3h for subscriptions when the p.lan was proposed. The calculation Is. extremely interesting in view of the general process of industrial amalgamation -and conversion now*.in.progress. What the report said on this: point "was as follows: f "At the rates offered in the circular dated March 2nd. 1901, the syndicate acquired the common and preferred stocks of the seven companies (other than the Carnegie company) as above mentioned, and thereupon sold-and transferred the same to this corporation under the contract of March 1st, 1901. The syndicate delivered to the holders of stock of the said seven companies in the aggregate 2,694,909 shares of common stock and.2,61(S,957 shares of preferred stock of this corporation. The syndicate acquired CO per cent ($96,000,000) of the stock of the Carnegie company and $159,450,000 face value of the 5 per. cent bonds of the Carnegie company by delivering to the holders therer of said $303,450,000 in cash; and the syndicate acquired the remaining 40 per cent ($64,000,- 000) of the stock of the Carnegie�� company by delivering to the holders thereof 982,- -771 shares" of preferred stock and 902,790 shares of the common stock of this corporation. .,���', :. . ., :, : The steel'.underwriting syndicate is not only remarkable for the enormous financial responsibility- assumed by its members by the relatively small proportion of the subscriptions called In for payment, and the" extent of the profits,, but also for the fact' that the public has been placed in a posi-' tion to ascertain, from an official source, a rather accurate idea of the size of these profits. ,' ���'. .'.-, . ; . . '.���'.':' .. ' " Thus the United States Steel report says' that for itsiservices in. underwriting .the.' ��� organization';-of ^the";company" '-..there- was" paid over 649,987 shares..of the .preferred, stock and G49,988 of the common stock.Tak-U ing a valuation of 90 arid 40 for these shares' respectively, the syndicate received $84,500,- 000, for which it contributed $25,000,000,000, 'cash-to the corporation, and its!other ex-< penses are reported at $3,000,000. ' i ���Deduction of this $28,000,000 leaves, a, net: profit to. the syndicate of $56,500,000 plus the- dividends received on its shareholdings.' Against this net profit accruing to the syn-. dicate, J. P. Morgan & Co., are understood to make a charge of 20 per cent for their. ��� services as managers of the syndicate, or' $11,300,000, leaving $45,000,000 as the apparent" divisible profit to the syndicate, and J. P.. Morgan & Co.were, of course, the largest individual subscribers. In Wall Street the profits of an underwriting syndicate are usually reckoned on the total sum for which the members are liable. Thus the steel syndicate profits are roughly 22% per cent on. the subscription of $200,000,000. On the amount paid the profit is ISO *?cr cent. Probably J. P. Morgan & Co. assuming that they subscribed $50,000,000 to the syndicate, made a profit of $25,000,000 on the Steel Trust underwriting. There is, of course, no telling at what price the syndicate sold its stocks, but probably an average of 90 and 40 is near enough to the actual, figures. The bankers' syndicate which underwrote ��� the steel issues will in short clear the largest profit ever made on an undertaking of that kind in this country. The transaction was the largest underwriting affair yet at- ^temptedrMnvolvingHhe'possibility'df having to pay' $200,000,000 on "demand at any time within fifteen months. Only one-eighth of this sum was ever called, so a single payment of $25,000,000 in all was the extent of the actual demand made upon the subscribers. ��� Schooner Had Bough Trip NEW YORK, February 6.���The schooner Charles Noble Simmons, which sailed from Norfolk on February 3rd for this port, with a curgo of coal, was towed Into the harbor today by the steamer Indiana, with her caplaln disabled and her crew frostbitten and suffering intensely from the hardships they had experienced. Almost from the start the Simmons encountered bad weather. The wind from the northwest, blew hard, and tho weather was bitterly cold. The spray which flew over the decks and rigging covered everything with ice. On Monday the gale assumed hurricane force and carried away the fore and main booms. Capt.uin Green was knocked unconscious by the falling wreckage, and remained in that state until noon today. The mate navigated the schooner to a position off Fire Island, where she was anchored to ride out the gale. Then the mate became Incapacitated by his sufferings, and the crew were prostrated by the intense cold, besides having their hands and feet frostbitten. The steward was the only person on board able forduty. The schooner remained at anchor with the wreckage strewn about the decks until noon yesterday, when the steamer Indiana hove In sight and came to her assistance. WILL GIVE CUSTOMS REBATES TO IMPOSTS ARRIVING IN BRITISH BOTTOMS > MONTREAL, February 6.���The Star's London cable says: Australian ministers clearly mean business at the coronation conference regarding trade." Wise, attorney-general of New Zealand, suggests an Australian rebate of customs duties on all goods, British and foreign, imported in British bottoms. The idea or including foreign goods in the preference is to avoid a contravention of the, most favored nation clause. Barton; federal-premier, Australia, approves - of the suggestion, and Seddon, -premier, for New Zealand, is willing to give a customs" rebate on'British, but" not foreign goods, imported:to New/Zealand in- British bottoms. It is thought these early colonial advances are made in the hope of strengthening that section of the British cabinet which would welcome some measure "of British reciprocity with the colonies as part of the. forthcoming British budget. In budget matters, however, sir Michael Hicks-Beach has hitherto been supreme, and he has always flouted the preferential idea. Though the Canadian government is '-not-known, in the best Informed circles here, to- be taking any fresh step in regard to a. fast mail service, the subject 'was much discussed at last night's dinner of the Canadian club. The impression seemed to" prevail that nothing adequate or effective can be .done until the C. P. ;R. is invited by the Canadian government to undertake the project, with- an increase of subsidy beyond the $750,000 already provided by the Canadian parliament. No doubt is felt that the British government would assent to co-operate in any increased subsidy, (if-the G/ P. R.*.

From', the press reports received it is evident! that the machine will be unable to; con-:; trol the party. The trouble began with i the first question raised, respecting the! formation of the credential���-. committee. -. It was part of the executive's plan.tot name the credential committee, in^ which event by the seating of certain .��� rival delegates from different points it might:have been able1 to.maintain'rcon- trol. The first motion made; which-emin- ated from the Vancouver delegation, up- SGt this calculation. It called for the formation of a credential committee made J'P-^f^pne^delegate^from^each^electorali district. This senator 'Pempleman-. who was in the chair, refused to put*.. This raised a storm of dissent and" the chairman forced a vote upon whether the chair should or should not be sustained. Those opposed to the executive were in the majority and the vote went against the senator. Following this the recommendation of the Vancouver delegation was accepted. The effect of this will be the throwing out of captain John Ir- ving's Cassiar delegation, as well as the set of Nanaimo delegates favorable to the executive. The decision of the Grit government of Ontario, to follow in the footsteps of the Tory government of Manitoba; in demanding a referendum upon the prohibition issue, has presented- the political press from making very much capital out of the embarrassment of the respective provincial administrations; The bye election in Lisgar, Manitoba, which takes place on the 18th instant, is being looked forward to with considerable interest by politicians of all dent in politics, must bid farewell to whether or not, Richardson, an independent in politics must bid farewell to public life or not. Richardson was elected one as a straight Liberal, he was later elected as an independent over a straight Liberal, and on Tuesday he will figure in a three-cornered fight with Liberal and Conservatives- candidates opposing him. Although the Liberal press is doing its utmost to discredit Richardson's strength, the returns in the previous elections show that he has been a very considerable political factor in the past. In the general elections of 1896, when he made the race against Rogers, who had the patronage of the . Conservative government, Richardson secured a majority of 54, the vote standing 2657 against 2603. When the general elections came around again Rich- jardson made the fight against Winkler,- "The Embassador of the Times" A writer in the New York Tribune declares that while William Fullerton, the new Paris correspondent of the London Times, may live up to the traditions of I/Estrange, Oliphant, and the other clever men who have represented the Thunderer . on the banks of- the Seine, he doubts if the American writer will ever attain the position occupied by his predecessor, M. De Blowitz, for the past thirty years in the! Parisian world, and in French and international political life. The latter's achievements, the latter adds, are familiar to 'every government of the civilized; world,! and there are few statesmen or diplomats of the past thirty years who are ignorant of the extent to which tne late king Al- phonso was Indebted to him for his restor- : ation to the throne of Spain, of the manner in.which on three separate occasions open breaches between Prance and Ger- ' many were averted, largely by his agency, of his.share in bringing about the Congo; conference, which led to the - creation of; ,-.the Free State, under the suzerainty of; king Leopold, and of the powerful support' . Which he' gave to .the Spanish commissioners at the time of the negotiation at Paris:- of the treaty of peace between this coun-! try and Spain, after'the close of the war": in 1898. ' ' " ���. '��� Monarchs and statesmen have frequently! chosen him as the means of conveying to' the world messages and explanations which1 they' were anxious should be known in an! :authoritative manner. "When Thiers was' ^president'.,of..the French republic, he was! "so thoroughly' used to using De Blowizt's: dispatches as the safest way- of co'mmuni-; ���eating his views to the public, not.only of! foreign. countries, but likewise of France; herself, that the leading organs of the1 Parisian press would either, await the ar��� rival of the Times in order to ascertain the' /attitude'of their chief magistrate on the' .".questions', ofI'the day, or else would have 'the contents of the Times telegraphed to .them from London. Later on other French; statesmen were wont to make use of M.. De Blowitz in the same .manner. Only one1 -.of them not only declined'to hold a conference with M. De Blowitz, but was his ; openly declared foe. That was Gambetta, ���and.had it.not .been for the fact that M. De Blowitz was.a full-fledged French citizen by naturalization he. would undoubtedly nave been expelled from France at the time Gambetta became premier and minister of foreign affairs. The- circumstances of the naturalization ^of^Mf^De^Blowitz^redound-to-his-creditr He had been established for* eight or ten years at Marseilles when the war of ii/70 broke out. Following the crushing reverses sustained by the French at Sedan, a general call to arms was issued. M. De Blowitz, who was among the first to respond, enlisted in the national guard at Marseilles, and at the same time took steps to secure his naturalization as a French citizen. The fact that he should have chosen that particular moment to give up his Aus- , trlan nationality for that of a country so stricken as France was sufficiently unique to excite U'linirallon on the p.irt of a people so emotional as the French, and his demand for naturalization elicited from the authorities to whom it was addressed Ihe remark "a nation that In the midst of such catastrophes can recruit citizens like yourself need not despair." A.s a national guardsman M. Do Blowitz took- a prominent part in combating the Commune Insurrection at Marseilles, nnd when general Esplvent de la Vlllcbolsnet ultimately crushed the rebellion, M. De Blowitz was dispatched bv him to Versailles to make a report of the whole affair to Thiers. He was created a knight of the legion of honor, and promised tho appolnt- ;tnent of French consul general at Riga. lt was-while waiting for this appointment at Marseilles that Fred Marshall, long the English secretary of the Japanese legation at Paris,- brought about a meeting between De Blowitz and Oliphant. The latter, on learning of the little man's intimacy with Thiers, requested him to obtain from the president an interview for the Times, which De Blowitz proceeded to do with such success that Oliphant immediately invited him to become his principal assistant, and to abandon all thoughts of goin-j abroad in a consular capacity for the French government. When about a year later Oliphant resigned from the Times to come to this country as a member of the sect of Dr. Harris, at Portland, New York, De Blowitz succeeded him as principal correspondent at Paris, a post which he has retained until now. Of course M. Do Blowitz has had enemies, and to some of them may be traced the report that he was not wholly incorruptible. But it Is claimed that there Is not the shadow of foundation for any such suspicion. His wife, who left him her entire fortune at her death, was an extremely rich woman, added to which he received a princely salary from the Times, as well as a large allowance for entertainment, under the head of "table money." His nickname of "Ambassador of the Times," has been something more than a mere empty title. For he has certainly been treated in the official and diplomatic world of Paris as the representative of a groat power rather than a mere correspondent, and French cabinet ministers, foreign ambassadors, and statesmen have been wont to gather around his hospitable board in the Avenue Marceau to meet royal princes and even crowned heads. PLANS FILED BY THE G. P. R. Tor Coast-Kootenay Road Arrangements are being perfected by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the construction of aline of railway connecting Spence's Bridge on the main line and Midway, the present terminus of the Columbia & Western. Plans were recently, filed showing the route of this new railway. After leaving Spence's Bridge it will take a southerly direction, passing through Nicola and Ashen Grove to Princeton, the chief town in the Similkameen mining district. The railroad will then take an easterly route towards Penticton, at the foot of Okanagan lake, and from there will climb the divide separating the Okanagan river from the west fork of Kettle river. It will follow the valley of the west fork of Rock creek and thence to Midway. While the contemplated railway will not make the most direct route from the Coast to Kootenay, the company contend that it will afford as quick and easy means of communication between the Coast and Kootenay as can be secured by any competitive route. The railway will pass through distrcts that have only been waiting transportation facilities to ensure rapid development. Similkameen is rich in copper deposits and coal measures. The country to the north, Nicola, offers many Inducements to the cattle man and agriculturalist, and the country tributary to the west fork of Kettle river is rapidly coming to the front because of the richness of its mineral resources. In this connection it may be stated that there is an unconfirmed rumor that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company will secure the Midway & "Vernon charter and build this line in order that the west fork may be more fully opened tip. The C. P. R. company had evdently the building of this road in view for some time. During the past summer a big barge was built on Okanagan lake. It was not needed for ordinary traffic on the lake and the supposition is that Princeton will be made a base for supplies and the barge used for conveying freight from the terminus of the Shuswap & Okanagan railway at the head of the lake to Penticton. #' **i INDIVIDUALITIES The record for a long distance run with an electric automobile is that of M.

The department is therefore disposed to facilitate captain Hobson's desire to be placed on the retired list.

The count of Turin, who is expected in New York In a few weeks, is a brother of the duke of Aosta, and a cousin of the king of Italy.

In *S97 his countrymen went wild with enthusiasm about him, when he defended the honor of his brother oflicer by fighting a duel with prince Henri of Orleans, who had Impugned the courage of the Italian army men and aspersed their valor for having let the Abysinnians put them to rout. Professor Davis, traveling under the management of Thearle <<i Hanford of Chicago, delivered a series of lectures in Huron, South Dakota, last month upon liquid air, in which he claimed that It was a panacea for all blood disorders.

This will give a depth from the surface of over 400 feet and about 259 feet clear of stoping ground. Besides the lead from which the ore was taken; last year and which will probably furnish a great portion of the 800 .tons which it is intended .shall be got out before sleighing breaks up. The men working on the upraise have, been following on the footwall a streak of from 9 to 18 Inches of fine ore. Answering a question put to him by J. J. Sullivan, AVilliam Pool, the man ager of the mine, said that he expects to send out before sleighing breaks up from" SOO to 1000 tons of ore.. Continuing, he said it was the intention of the company to continue shipping ore all-summer, this being rendered "quite possible by the fact that a good ; wagon road was now constructed to the lower workings through' which all the ore mined in the future will be delivered. ' The completion of the new upraise besides employing a greatly increased force of men means greater expedition in getting out ore. Last year the great bulk of' the shipment had to be winlassed from the stopes to the'upper tunnel, now, ail ore mined will be dumped into chutes penetrating to the lower tunnel and delivered- from these to the. ore house by car, a1 method more expeditious than the former. The opening up of spring and the cora- mencement of navigation ought to see awaiting shipment at Trout Lake at least' 1500 tons of ore furnished by the two principal mines in the district, the Nettie L and the Silver Cup, and before the end of this year it is not too much to expect that at least a thousand tons more will be added to this amount, the contributions of all the other developing properties, together with what the Nettle L. will mine in addition. This with the opening up of the new railroad is likely to create a prosperity jvhich wjH amply reward those who have waited so long and patiently for the much talked of boom.���Trout Lake Topic.

Were Shocking but Merciful Was civilization wise when it abandoned the axe as a means of mortal ex- ecution, and substituted, flrst the rope, ��� and then, in some countries, the garrote, and a few of the American states, the electric chair? Is death by such methods quicker, surer and more merciful than upon the block? To these questions an American physician of reputation answers "No," and as he recently witnessed an execution in which the old-fashioned axe was used, and carefully noted the results as compared with those achieved at a Kentucky hanging, his word must be received - with a good deal of consideration. In Prussia where the old-fashioned execution was witnessed, a condemned criminal is led to the fatal, block and his head chopped off with identically the same sort of an axe as that which was used to put a period to the career of . Charles I in the tower of London on that fateful 30th of January, 252 years ago. Practically the only difference between the twentieth century execution and that of the time of Cromwell is that; the condemned is not put to death ., publicly. In many parts of the German empire ; the guillotine has taken the place of the . gallows and the block, but in Prussia, old-fashioned justice clings tenaciously to the old fashions,.and neither the rope nor the automatic knife nor the power of electricity has been able to displace the broad-axe as the law's official implement of death. The only concession to modern'sentiment is in the gard of "the executioner; This functionary.does not, as in earlier times, dress in doublet and hose and hide his ensanguined , identity behind a frightsome mask. In- . stead, he appears at the execution garbed in a frock coat of sombre hue and correct cut, and he wears upon his head even when delivering the death stroke, a tall silk hat. His three assistants are similarly attired. Why this garb was ��� chosen no .one can say authoritively. It is one of those things the origin of which appears to have been forgotten with the originators. But it is the lawful customs, prescribed in the regulations, -which apply also to the 12 civilian witnesses who must attend an execution, with the result that a stranger witness is unable to say until the axe has fallen which of the other 15 silk-hatted, frock-coated individuals grouped about him is the man who lives by death. . It is not often that a stranger is admitted to an execution in Prussia. Dr. Henry Wesley, of Baltimore, who has '��� just returned from a year's tour in Europe, was, through the influence of certain high officials in Prussia, chosen as one of the twelve civilians invited to witness the mortal finish of one Franz Deppe, who had been sentenced to death for murdering a 7-year old girl. The execution took place in Flensburg, which is in, Sj;hlesburg-HoIsteln,,near the Danish frontier. Deppe had been convicted on evidence purely circumstantial. He vwas a sheep herder, and a beetle-browed, repulsive looking man of medium size and of a low order ot* intelligence. He was of extraordinary strength physically, however, and it was expected that his finish would be marked by a remarkable . scene when the executioner's assistants undertook to strap him to the block. , The executioner, Herr Reindell, who travels from place to place in Prussia as his services are needed, had been warned to be on his guard with Deppe, and he had cautioned his assistants,- all burly men themselves, to be ��� ready to seize and bind at word. It was , this situation which interested Dr. Wesley in the case. The execution was scheduled for July ftth. On the evening of July 2nd. Dr. Wesley received from the Kreis-artz, or district surgeon, a card of admission to the jail courtyard which read: CARD OF ADMISSION To the vard of the District Prison Friday, July 5th, 1901 6 a. m. sharp. Dr. H. Wesley The First State's attorney pro tern. SCHROEDER. Flensburg, July 2nd, 1901. Accompanying this card was a note 'fro-ji the nobleman from whom it was obtained, and which prescribed the garb to be worn. It read as follows: My dear H.���Inclosed I send you card of admission for the execution. You must, under no circumstances, speak of this, as the time of execution must be kept secret. Dress, black coat and high hat. Yours, VON F. It was lacking just ten minutes of the hour of six when Dr. Wesley presented himself at the prison gates. His card was taken by an attendant, and he was led through the prison to another gate opening upon a small courtyard. Here he fond the first state's attorney and the second state's attorney, accompanied by their secretaries, standing besides a small table, upon which were spread the legal papers in the case, and which contained also r crucifix and two candles. The attorneys wore their robes of -black, with velvet skullcaps. Behind them were grouped the other witnesses who had arrive*' earlier, and the prison guards, who wore swords. Near one end of the table ���was the head block separated from the body block by a space of a foot and a half, the space being filled in with a zinc kettle, the purpose of which may be guessed. On the other side of the block was a smaller table covered with a white cloth, and under this cloth was the axe���the handle ready to the hand of the headsman. At the end of the courtyard near the great gates which were open for the condemned's passage into eternity lay an open coffin, partly filled with shavings and sawdust. "I had nerved myself for a most brutal exhibition," Dr. Wesley said in telling of the beheading. "I recalled a hanging I had witnessed in Frederick- ton, when the stethescope told me 16 minutes after the drop fell that the condemned man was alive and breathing. The horror of that time was sure to be eclipsed, I thought, by this execution, and I was more than half sorry I was there. The faces of all the officials and witnesses and the prison guards were pale and their attitudes tense and expectant. There was no whispering, no movement, nothing but a strained waiting for the dreadful moment. ' ?fhe prison bells tolled the hour, and upon the stroke the great doors at the end of the courtyard swung wide to admit the condemned. On One side of him walked the prison inspector, on the other side a priest. Deppe halted for a moment and looked defiantly down the courtyard. He was clad only in trousers and undershirt, with his coat thrown loosely across his shoulders. Urged by the inspector, he marched up to the table presided over by the state's attorneys. The priest fell back a few paces and the executioner stepped over between the block and the table covered with the white cloth, from which point he eyed Deppe rather nervously^ I thought. The proceeding was extremely solemn and decorous. "Taking up the papers in the case, the first state's attorney read aloud in a dry, rasping voice the findings of the trial court and jury, and the sentence of death. During the reading all .the prison officials stood at attention, with the right hand to cap visor. Deppe stared dully into the face of the reader, as one without the faintest interest in the record. The affirmation of the sentence by the court of appeals was read in the same unpleasant voice, and then the paper which contained the refusal of the emeperor to extend executive clemency,, and which ended with the words, "Given on board our yacht the Hohenzollern." The state's attorney held this paper out before the doomed man, and pointing to the signature, 'Wilhelm, I. R.' 'You see?' he said. Deppe only shrugged his shoulders. "After a moment's impressive silence, the state's attorney said: 'Now, Deppe, do you, in the face of immediate death, desire tp ease your conscience by free confession? Or uo you still stick to your lie? The prisoner spoke then for the first time, "I have nothing to confess,"- he said. "Then came the dramatic moment, The state's attorney raised his hand; and said to Herr Rendell, 'Do you duty.' The executioner waved his hand at his assistants. On the instant one of them seized the coat... and tore Capital (paid up) - $2,600,000 Rest - __ -_ $1,860,000 HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO, ONTARIO.

One of the prison officials accounted in a measure for the dread certainty of the executioner's stroke by telling me that the blade and handle of the axe were hollow, and that the. hollow space was partly filled with quicksilver. This metal, flowing into the blade, on the downward stroke, added to its weight and assisted in driving it through flesh and bone. "Judging from my own observation, I should say that all the years that have elapsed since beheading went- out of fashion in other parts of Europe, we have not been able to-produce a substitute which is at one an .the same time so terrifying and so merciful to the condemned as the old chopping block. It. is better than hanging, more certain even than electricity and more sudden that the garrote. It has also that quality of horror which serves better .than any other method ever devised,' except, perhaps, the rack, to hold the criminally inclined within bounds."��� Detroit Free Press. to to to to to to 9\ to to **** 189Q���ESTABLISHED IN "KP1L8QN- 19Q2 | Jacob Dover The Jeweler Nelson, B.

CASCADE'S WATER POWER it from the shoulders of the condemned man's back and stretched his neck out upon the block, holding it with all the force of which his ' strong arms were capable. As the neck came into position, Herr Reindell whisked the white covering from the table beside him with his left hand, and as he swung around with the same motion the axe flashed into play and descended upon the bared neck just above the shoulders. It was done so quickly and so clear and clean was the cut that the condemned man's head was cut off and by the hands ^of the assistant, who had not released his hold upon it, was' laid besides the block while we were straining to meet the climax. "Herr Reindell, with a back swing from the block, laid the axe upon the table and drew the cover across it, saying at the same time: 'Mr. First State's attorney, the sentence has been carried out.' "It was true. The head was off, the dead man, almost before he knew it. There had been no struggle, no distressing battle against a fate that could not be beaten off. Deppe was taken as much by surprise, as were the witnesses, and if he intended to resist he had waited just that one instant too long. By the prison inspector' watch exactly 27 seconds and no'more elapsed between the time when the stae's attorney said: Do your duty,' and the time when Deppe's head was laid upon the floor besides the block. "Instead of a bloody spectacle it was a clean execution. The trunk of the :lead man fell toward into the space between the block table and the block. What blood there was ran out of view into the zinc receptacle. When the arteries had ceased to flow Herr Reindell signed to his assistants to lift the body, and it was placed at once in the coffin. He himself lifted the head by the hair, and laid it beside the trunk, i card bearing the address of the anatomical institute of the university of Keil was tacked upon it, and the corpse was taken away. "While I was still marveling at the celerity of the execution an attendant came from the prison with a bowl of streaming water and a napkin. Herr Reindell dipped his fingers daintily into the bowl, dried them upon the napkin, bowed politely to the state's attorneys and the witnesses, and withdrew. His Will Be Soon Utilized ?rhe development of 3000 horse-power on the Kettle river at Cascade, 15 miles east of Grand Forks, will soon be an accomplished-fact The work has been in progress for nearly two years. Electrical power will be conveyed by wire to the various mining camps, thus reducing the cost of mining development. Several of :the smelters are also figuring in utilizing the same energy. Spring will see the plant. in operation; The cheapening of power as compared with steam will permit the handling of mineral bodies that now cannot be worked. The Cascade power is controlled by the London &British/ Columbia Gold- fields Company, of, London, England. At Cascade, the Kettle river rushes through a rock gorge for a distance of half a mile, and has a natural fall of 121 feet. A dam 400 feet long and 50 feet high has been constructed at the head of the gorge, which ��� raises the water 36 feet above the natural level, thus giving a working head of 156 feet at low water. The permanent water level will be 10 feet below the top of the dam. Provision has. also been made to control the water level during periods of high water by a series of sluice ways. From the dam the water is to be conveyed to the power house, first by an open cut 233 feet long, thence through a tunnel though the solid rock a distance of 410 feet, the tunnel being 12x14 feet,-thence to an open cut in the rock a distance of 500 feet; from this point, where a concrete bulkhead will be built, ithe water will be conveyed though a circular flume 12 feet in diameter to the power house. About 35,000 cubic yards of rock have been excavated from these cuts. The areas are so large that no appreciable loss of water will occur, and =th~e"~*w��ter~~will^ente^ head about equal to the level of the water in the dam. The power house is nearing completion. It is a fire-proof structure of stone and brick, 215x45 feet in size, and is situated at the foot of the falls, 2000 feet from the dam. Electrical machinery of the most improved pattern, together with six tur^ bine wheels of the. horizontal type, are now being manufactured especially for this plant. At tho outset the horse-power developed will be 3000, but later it is expected that a maximum of 0000 horsepower will be reached." A right of way has been cleared from Cascade to Phoe-: nix via Grand Forks, a distance of 21 miles. This clearing is 122 feet wide. Two separate duplicate lines are being constructed. The poles have already been erected. A. heavy copper wire will be used for the transmission of the electrical energy. ..^ We believe In giving every person one dollar's worth for every one-hundred cents.

Davys and Miss Hannington have volunteered to sing, Mrs. Bruce White will render a violin solo, and George Kydd will also sing. A representative of one of the wholesale houses in this city remarked to a Tribune reporter yesterday that their sales for the month of January of this year were $1000 in 3xcess of Ihe; same period a year ago. Another firm's record is practically the same amount, and these figures taken Into consideration along with the customs re- "turns for the same month indicate an improvement in the volume of trade. The shipments to most of the Crow's Nest and Boundary points ; are growing. A well known mining man also remarked that in the vicinity of Nelson there are no less than fourteen properties making preparations within the next three months.

Action Against Nelson Tramway A writ for the sum of $94,900 has: been issued against the New Vanvouver Coal Company, of Nanaimo, for an alleged infraction of the Railway Act. Behind the scenes of this claim, which is one made for forfeitures and penalties under chapter, Victoria 51, sections 299, 300, 302 and 304 of the Dominion Railway Act, and amendments, is a strange story. The plaintiff, as given by the writ, is Charles William A. Neill of Victoria, who; as the writ says, sues on behalf of himself and his majesty the king. As a. matter of fact, Neill says he sues on behalf of someone else also other than his majesty.' the king, and this somebody prefers to remain in the background..,. ���.'; Neill is. the rtinner; for the Dawson hotel, and according to the story given by him to a'Colonist reporter yesterday, all he knows of the action, is that he signed some papers, at the request of a man, whose-name, "he declared, he did not know. ^According- to the story then told by Neill,, the action* is being taken in his name on behalf of another, an unknown as far as he is concerned. The action is taken to claim the sum of $94,900 as forfeitures and penalties because of the alleged failure of the New Vancouver Coal Company to file returns showing the-amount; of business, accidents and .otherv:a\etails, as required by the statutes of thevRailw.ay.: Act above quoted.with taes"Pqm,lnibn goyernment. -���������A similar action, and for an equally large amount,���has-,been -taken against the Nelson .Blec^}.C;Tramway..,Company, Neill being again named as the plaintiff in the.-writfcjfeu-k as-he^says, all-that he knows, is 'thal:jhe''signed.'Some.papers and the action;v4.s taken...by. another whose name he-says,he does not know, in his name.-Victoria- Colonist Fashionable WashinRton Nuptials VVASHXNGTON,drebruary"6.���Helen Hay- eldest -daughter of 'secretary of state Hay^ and Payne Whitney'of New York,' son of ex-secretary of tlfe-navy Whitney, were married today at noon at the church of the Covenant. The wedding was the most notable social event of the season.in Washington, being celebrated .in the presence of the highest officials in the land, including the president and his cabinet, and of what is recognized as the best of -New York and New England society. The Hay family has heen in mourning since the death of Adalbert Hay, but forthis one day the mourning was put aside: and the wedding was celebrated with all. the.pomp and clrcum-! stances ihat would have characterized It otherwise. - Mrs. Soffel's Condition Worse PITTSBURG.

Her wound seems to be healing, but she takes very iittle nourishment and her mental condition is described as approaching collapse, Harry Biddle, the brother of the men whose bodies were buried yesterday, says the grave will be.pro-, tected from vandals by armed guards. Today he made formal application to be appointed executor of the estate of Edward, and Jack.

The application was dismissed. In the case of the Imperial Mines vs the Valparaiso r Mines, and Payne vs Wilson, a joint order was made, by consent, for discovery. In the case of Macdonald, Grifiin.

The following scratch game was also played during the day: Deacon. W. Irving, Richardson, Stanley, (skip),' 16;-against R. Weir, McPherson, Tamblyn, Dr. Hall (skip), 13.. The suggestion made in the last issue of the Tribune to dispense with the Dominion D'ly sports and leave the annual celebration for the regatta, appears to have found favor with quite a number of Nelson's citizens. One of the most prominent ones remarked vesterday that the idea was a commendable one, as it would be impos- slbli* for th? citv council to support both, and as it was inevitable that each would petition the council for financial assistance, lt was preferable that any assistance rendered should be undivided.
