OFFERED CONDITIONAL REDUCTION OF TWENTY-FIVE PER CENT IN RATES GRAND PORKS, February 10.���[Special to The Tribune.]���It is reported here upon excellent authority that the chief business, which recently took Messrs. Graves and Flummerfelt, of the Granby smelter, to Toronto and Montreal, was the very important matter of securing a reduction in the cost of coke. And what is of even greater importance to the Boundary district is the assurance that the local smeltermen were successful in their mission and that in consequence of their visit the smelters of the Boundary will effect a saving of $1.25 upon every ton of coke used.. As was outlined in The Tribune some weeks ago, in an interview with Paul Johnson, of the Greenwood smelter, the high price ot" fuel was becoming a very serious consideration in the treatment of the low grade ores of the Boundary, and| one which received a very decided emphasis when the copper market began to break. In this interview it. was pointed out by Mr. Johnson that fuel in the smelting of the Boundary ores constituted 65 per cent of the cost, and that the fuel charges were the main consideration for the reason that any further economies in smelting must be effected in them as labor charges had been reduced to a point which admitted of no further reduction and the retaining of capable smelting men. In the course of his interview it will be remembered that Mr. Johnson said if a reduction of ten per . cent could be effected in the cost, of fuel it would mean a saving of $14,400 a year to the Grenwood smelter. For this reason it is-pleasing to be able to sr.-'.that the management has effected a saving in the cost of fuel, not' of ten per cent as was hoped, but of sixteen per cent. From a trustworthy source your correspondent is informed that while in the east Messrs. Graves and Flummer-; felt lai'V the seriousness of the present cost of fuel before the management of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company land that of the Crow's- Nest Coal Company. The smelter men it is said had no difficulty whatever in securing the ear of the railway management and an offer was made forthwith to reduce the freight charges on the coke 25 per cent if corresponding reduction could be secured from the coal company on the charge for coke on the cars at the coke ovens. With the management of the coal company the work of the smelter managers was more difficult, but with the railway company's offer of a sweeping reduction in the transportation rate staring them in the face they were in the end forced to yield and an understanding was arrived at that the charge to smelters for coke should be reduced from $4.75 f. o. b. to ?4. The railway company then more than met the coal company and cut its transportation rate from=*?3^to*=?2:50rthus=making"-the=cost- of coke to the smelters $6.50 instead of 57.75. February 1st, warning the tariff extremists against endangering the tariff bill by insisting on further increase in tho duties, feels surer of his position with the country behind him, in checking the landed interests' demands. The agrarians were also particularly feeling the pressure of industrial and financial opinion that the government's firm stand has convinced the moderates that they must acept the bill as it is or get nothing. It is understood that the chancellor intends to get the tariff bill' out of the way as soon as possible, in order that the general elections of 1903 may be contested on other issues than bread usury. The results of the bye-elections have disheartened the Conservatives. According to a statement emanating from Conservative sources, some of the Conservative members in the close districts have informed the party managers that they can not make a fight against a battle cry of bread usury after the reichstag is dissolved over the tariff bill. would be returned to China, or handed over to any other power, were entirely unfounded. The decision had been reached from the view point of naval opinion, in favor of the course adopted. RUSSIA MUST CLIMB DOWN Greenwood Local News GREENWOOD, February 10.���[Special ��� to The Tribune.]���Mayor Naden is receiving congratulations on the birth of his first son, which occurred today. Rev. Dr. Whittington, who is visiting the Methodist churches in the district'spent today in Greenwood. C. L. Foster, who came from Rossland last week, is .now accountant in the Greenwood branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, succeeding L. F. Ferris, transferred to Vancouver. R. Helme Nelson, district superintendent of the Dominion Express Company, arrived here on today's train. No More Trickery Goes WASHINGTON, February 10.���The negotiations between the United States government and the government of Russia, relative to Manchuria, are progressing with the exhibition of a great deal of energy on our part, though the exchanges are in the kindliest spirit. The attitude of the Russian government in this matter has shifted materially since the beginning of the negotiations.- A treaty was drawn up originally between Russia and China, providing for the evacuation of Manchuria by the Russian troops who have been in military possession of the country since the early days of the boxer outbreak. This contained a great many rather complex guarantees in Russia's favor, but a singularly objectionable provision was one placing the Russo-Chinese bank in practical control of the commercial and material interests of Manchuria. It was quickly perceived that the provision executed, practically would exclude Americans from competition in Manchuria, which is very valuable as a market for. our manufacturers' cottons.. .Tht;,. ef ore Russia's attention was directed to our existing rights under the treaty with China and also her own promise made directly to the United States government during tlie early days of the Russian occupation of Manchuria. Apparently our representation were effectual, for the objectionable proviso touching the Russo-Cninese bank was withdrawn from the treaty, and' that convention, save in some minor respects, was regarded as unobjectionable. However, it has been discovered that the Rusian "government, following a practice known in European diplomacy, has drawn up a secret agreement, with China, conferring upon the Russo-Chinese bank all the powers contained in the original treaty proviso. Therefore the United States government has re-* newed its objections, not only addressing itself to the Russian government, but making a very strong protest to the government of China. It is expressly declared that in so doing our government has acted independently, though is it a matter of common knowledge that the commercial powers'whose interests in Manchuria are almost as considerable as our own, have addressed similar representations to both China and Russia. Was a Million Short DETROIT, February 10.���Vice president Frank C. Andrews, of the city savings bank, which has been in the hands of state banking commissioner George Maltz, since this morning, was arrested- late this afternoon and arraigned at 9:30 o'clock tonight, on the charge of "wilfully, fraudulently and knowingly" securing from the bank, without security and without the knowledge of the other directors, a sum exceeding $1,000,- 000. He was released on $10,000 bail, and his examination was set for February 21st. Cashier Henry C. Andrews, through whom F. C. Andrews is said to have secured the money by means of overdrafts and certified checks, is seriously ill at his home with nervous prostration. DAILY EDITION C. P. B.JIVIMD PRESIDENT'S CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS MANAGEMENT WILL SPEND OVER $22,000,000 ON THE SYSTEM'S IMPROVEMENT Smallpox Among the Indians VANCOUVER, February 10.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The steamer Tees arrived this evening from the north. News was brought of another outbreak of smallpox abong the Naas river Indians. Three were sick in the village of Is-An- One, and one death had occurred. The disease was brought from Ketchikan. Among passengers by the Tees were five men who were lost among the mountains of the northern end of Vancouver island. They started from Quatsino, for Alert bay, with one. day's food, and for the remainder of the trip through the snow they had nothing to eat. The weather was mild, however, and they did not suffer from the cold. PATERSON'S HEAVY LOSS Ead Week for the Boers LONDON, February 10.���A report received today from lord Kitchener, at Pretoria, shows last week to have been the liveliest one, with the heaviest, losses on both sides for several months :' past. Lord Kitchener gives the Boer casualties as 69 killed, 17 wounded, 57 surrendered, and 574 taken prisoners..

Springfield Has Its Fire SPRINGFIELD, February 10.���The largest fire in the history of Springfield I; broke out in the Champion chemical ���plant of the East street shop today at 9 a. m. An hour and a half later twelve manufacturing plants were in ruins. The latest estimated loss is $500,000. Tlie fire was started by the explosioi; of some chemicals in the Champion chemical plant. Fear Bread Usury Cry BERLIN, February 10.��� The agrarians last evening cheered the earliei part of chancellor Von Buelow's speech but their enthusiasm was replaced ir, gloomy silence when he announced thai the new tariff bill represents the government's utmost limit of assistance to ag- ) riculture. The chancellor, having tested public opinion through the note published in the North German Gazette or, Will Not Pay Radcliffe ���DENVER,=February���10.���It���is���announced that attorney-general Post has decided that William Radcliffe has no just claim against the ctate of Colorado or tlie government of the United States for the destruction of his property by Are at Grand Mesa, and that governor Orman will reply to this effect to the communication from secretary of state Hay on the subject. The attorney-general's report on the incendiarism at Grand Mesa, which has been forwarded to secretary Hay, details the causes of the bitter feeling against Radcliffe among the inhabitants of "that region and shows that the state made every effort to fix' the responsibility for the burning of Radcliffe's property, but failed to apprehend the guilty parties. Secretary Hay will be told that tho state is sorry for Radcliffe's loss, but that is all it can say in extenuation. It is said that should the British ambassador, lord Pauncefote, press Radcliffe's claim for $55,000 damages after receiving the governor's communication, evidence will be produced showing that Radcliffe is not a British subject, having applied for citizenship in the United States and received his first papers. Withdrawal of Troops LONDON, February lO��� In the house of commons today, tne war secretary, Mr. Broderick, confirmed the report that the government had decided to withdraw the British troops at Wei Hai Wei, and proceed no further with building fortifications at the point. In the house of lords the under secretary of the colonial offlce, lord Onslow, referring to the government's intention to withraw the British troops from Wei Hai Wei, added the information that the government had no intention of giving up so valuable a colony as Wei Hai Wei. It was extremely useful as a small arms store for gunnery practice or as a sanatarium. The navy and military officials there had every reason to believe that Wei Hai Wei would become increasingly useful and valuable. The Chinese regiment at Wei Hai Wei, lord Onslow added, would be gradually disbanded. It has been found that the position could only be fortified at great expense. The colonial oflice took over the administration of the place January 1st. The rumors that Wei Hai Wei Will Approximate $8,000,000 PATERSON, New Jersey, February 10.��� The tierce conllagration which burned its way through the business center of Paterson yesterday, has completely spent its force and is dying out in the ashes and broken bricks of its ruins. The firemen, who hurried from other cities to save the endangered city, have returned to then- homes uiid several companies of the local department have been ordered to their homes for rest and refreshment, which they so much need. Conservative opinion is inclined today to cut $2,000,000 from the aggregate loss ot* $10,000,000 agreed upon yesterday, and $8,000,000 will probably be accepted finally as the actual cost of the tire. ... , ,. ., Probablv no fire of equal magnitude and widespread destrucliveness ever produced an equally small casualty list, dozens of" firemen'and volunteers who labored with them were , slightly injured by falling bricks and Umber, burned by fire brands, 'of temporarily overcome with smoke, but only a few ot them needed any surgical operation ror medical attendance. The small casualty list is explained by the fact that people had ample warning and time to abandon their homes before the flames came upon them. The fact that the great silk mills escaped the ravages of the flames is most important, as silk making is the principal industry of the city, and if they - had been swept away the suffering among the working class would have been great. Another important industry is that of lor comotive building, and it was generally important that these works escaped the flames. All the banks of the city are open for business today, having made their headquarters in the Paterson Saving Institution, which was only slightly damaged by the fire. The fire made no headway during the night. Fanned by a strong wind it burned up fitfully in places during the early hours of the morning, but whenever it showed threatening strength the firemen turned their streams upon it and beat it down. The firemen were completely exhausted after more than thirty hours' of continuous service, but they remained at their posts and will go on until nothing further remains tobe done __. There was comparatively little suffering on the part of those rendered, homeless by the fire, and the armory, churches, and public shelters opened their doors to applicants during the night. Practically every home that escaped the flames was thrown open in a spirit of broad charity and nearly every refugee found shelter in the house of some friend. All of the banks and trust companies announced that their safes and vaults had proved strong enough to preserve the securities, monies and records loclced in them at the close of business on Saturday, Many of those whose homes and business places were destroyed, were ruined financially and must give up, but the majority will be able to start afresh. PATERSON, February 10.���A feeling ot confidence in the future pervades the minds of citizens of Paterson tonight. Mayor Hinehliffe has the matter well in hand, and to an offer of assistance which came from mayor Low of New York, an answer was returned containing thanks and the assurance that Paterson is managing the cure of those in need. Money and securities said to amount to $3,000,000 were safely recovered from the two huge vaults under the ruins of the First National bank late In the afternoon. Hooks, papers, bullion and paper money was found to be uninjured. Buried beneath the ruins of the city hall were found the safes which belonged to the city controller's ollice and in these also the legal papers, documents and public records were found unharmed. The greatest tangle in the city affairs will result in the tax oflice. So far as can be ascertained all tho records of the department have been destroyed. There is a set of books lost which showed the valua- . tion, etc., of each piece of property in the city, but the assessors have their field books from which all this can be duplicated. It is said, however, that it is almost certain that the records showing who had paid their taxes and who had not are all destroyed, and that there is not anything in existence from which the information can be obtained. The work of clearing up the burned district has not yet begun, but the firemen were busy until night with ropes and dynamite tearing down the shaky, walls that endangered those who had to be inside the burning area. President David Young of the street railway, in whose barns the fire is said to have started, today said that a.s the result of a careful investigation he could positively state that the fire did not originate iu the barns. His search for a cause showed him the fire had started in a shed back of the barns, which did not belong to the trolley company. Fire in a Theater CHICAGO, February ]0.���The Orpheum theater on Washington street, opposite the city hall, was damaged by fire this morning to-the extent of J'iO.OOO. The flames spread with such rapidity that three attaches of the theater, who were In the building when the lire started, were overcome by smoke and severely burned beTore thoy could bo rescued by the firemen. None will die. This is the third time within six . months that the theater has been on lire. I MONTREAL, February 10. ���At a meeting of the directors of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, today, the usual dividend of two per cent on the preference stock for the half year ending December last was declared, and a dividend of two and a half per cent for the same period was declared on the common stock. The following circular was issued by sir Thomas) G. Shaughnessy, president of the C. P. R., to the shareholders after the board meeting today: '. "The extraordinary expansion of the company's business during, the past six or seven years, and the apparent certainty that' the volume wi.ll continue to increase year by year, renders it essential that the company, should, with the least possible^ delay, provide such additional rolling stock and other facilities as may be required for the prompt and efficient handling of its traffic. "The gradients and alignment on. the busy sections of the system -should be substantially improved, so that the large and increasing tonnage may'be moved with the economy requisite for the best results.. "In view of the present and* prospective, net earnings of the company, the directors feel justified in proposing that the money required for these ���: purposes be i secured by an issue of ordinary capital shares, rather than by other means, and therefore they recommend that the ordinary capital share be increased by/* the amount of $19,500,000. The directors consider that it is due to the shareholders of the common stock that they should be given the privilege of subscribing for the new stock at. par, in the proportion of thirty per cent of their respective" holdings;. of the- oiif-standing common, shares, on the closing of the books in London on Tuesday, February 18th, and in New York and ^Montreal on Monday, March 3rd, 1902, and a resolution to that effect will be submitted to the shareholders for their approval. ��� "It is intended that the money thus raised shall be expended for the following purposes: _Locomotlves, cars and other equipment, ten million dollars; enlargement of construction and repair shops at Montreal and at other points on the system, two million dollars; reduction of grades, improvement of alignment, and second track where required, six million, five hundred thousand dollars; additional grain elevators, terminals, business and passing sidings, and other facilities, such as are. being provided from month to month to meet the requirements of the company's business, four million dollars. "These estimates overrun the amount of the contemplated issue of stock at par, and therefore to make up the bal: ance, and in order that the. company's property may be benefitted to as full an extent as if the shares had been sold at a^preniium^on^the-open-market,--it-is proposed that an amount equivalent to about 15 per cent of the issue, or. three million dollars, be appropriated from the surplus earning funds, to be expended for the purpose above mentioned, in. addition to the proceeds of the sale of capital stock. After appropriating this amount, and providing for payment of the dividends just declared on the preference and common shares, there will still be eight millions, six hundred thousand dollars in the surplus earnings fund. "The subscription price of the new stock will be payable at the Bank of Montreal, London, New York and Montreal as follows: Twenty per cent, or twenty dollars per share, on subscription; twenty per cent, June 27th, 1902; twenty per cent, August 27th, 1902; twenty per cent, October 27th, 1902; twenty per cent, December 27th, 1902. No interest or dividend will be allowed on the payments made previous to July 1st, or advance payments, but all shares fully paid as above stipulated will take rank for dividend with existing shares for the half year ending December 31st, 1902. "No fractional shares will be issued, but rights may be assigned, and for this purpose a blank form will be provided. Holders having rights for fractions of shares should make such adjustment of their holdings by purchase or sale with other shareholders direct, or through brokers as will make whole shares." en or published, which threaten to kill or advise or instigate any to kill the persons named. A new feature In connection with the law is that the secretary of war is authorized and directed to select a detail from the regular army to guard and protect the person of the president, "without unnecessary display," and the secretary of war Is also authorized and directed to make special rules and regulations as to dress,' arms and equipment of such guard and to publish only such rules and regulations as he may deem proper. - German Eoyalty and the President BERLIN, February 10.���Emperor AVilliam and prince Henry this morning expressed concern at the news of the illness of president's Roosevelt's son and received telegraphic replies to their messages of Inquiry from Dr. Hollenben. the German ambassador at Washington. The ambassador assured the emperor and pz*ince Henry that the younger Roosevelt was no worse. AVholesale houses here are filling orders from New York for German flags, ribbons of the German colors, hat bands with prince Henry's name on them, and German navy belt buckles, buttons, etc., and the photographers are printing a large number of portraits of prince and princess Henry and the emperor and empress, to supply the American demand. that captain Simpson of H. M. S. Egeria, to whom captain Tozler of the Grant handed over the ship's boat, picked up by Indians on the coast, immediately identified the boat as one from the missing war ship. No othor wreckage was found on the" coast. To get the boat from the Indians captain Tozler had to give them his dress sword. The Egeria continued the search out to sea, and captain Simpson also intended to make a search of the Scott islands off the northern end of Vancouver Island, watch have not been visited in several years. The Egeria is now expected at Esquimau at any time. CANADIANS KICK DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR COUNCIL TOOK NO ACTION Postponed Business to Dance A short session of the city, council was held las't evening. The chief business of the session was the opening of the applications for the position of fire chief, which "were twelve ln number. The "following are the names and addresses of the applicants: T. Acherman, Westminster; H. E. Campbell, Vancouver; Charles Gummings, Rossland; Thomas Deasey, Victoria; E. B. Irving, Nelson; J. A. Lester, Vancouver; T.-.'W.. Lillie, Nelson; John C. A.

On the motion of aldermen Scanlan and Selous it was agreed to leave the selection of th fire chief until the adjourned meeting to be held during the present week. The report of the public works committee was presented," but was also received without reading until the adjourned meeting. The report of the health officer was received and was read by the city clerk. It consisted of several pages ~of closely typewritten matter, and contained a number of suggestions. It emphasized the Importance of providing an isolation hospital and equipping it with a competent trained nurse, also the necessity of better quarantine and.vaccination regulations. Regarding the water supply of the city the report urged the importance of connecting Cot- tonw-ood creek with the. Cotton wood lake. Reference was further made to the immediate necessity of providing filtering beds, which would be required in the future. The milk supply of the city was declared to be free; from tuberculine, which was ascertained by a. careful analysis and examlna--:' tion by J. A. Armstrong." 1 "Referring to the Japanese and Chinese element of the city it. was observed that their sanitary condition was greatly improved, but the wash houses on Victoria street and Cottonwood creek would soon become a menace to the city, as the former were not connected with the city sewers and the latter wore polluting the waters of the creek, and it was urged that steps to connect the same should be taken as soon as possible. The report showed that there had been 51 deaths during the year, several cases of smallpox, none of which were fatal, nine deaths from tuberculosis, four deaths from typhoid fever. On motion of aldermen Hamilton and Selous the report was accepted and submitted to the board of health. Application was made by Bullock-Webster for electric light connection. The superintendent of the city lighting returned the probable cost at $100,and the work was authorized to be performed. A resolution was moved by aldermen Scanlan and Drew that at the expiration of the time limit of sixty days after the serving of notice by the city clerk requiring householders to complete their sewer connection that the city officials be empowered to prosecute the same without further referring the matter to the city council.

No. 17 troop, from British Columbia, under captain G. C. Bennett, of "Vancouver, is the first to fall. They have already received the order to disband at once. Captain Bennett being'relieved of bis command. The men have refused to be scattered through the country among imperial troops, and interesting developments are expected. The cause of the trouble is alleged to be the glaring incompetency of the captain in command, or at least that is the reason given at headquarters. But the men are the sufferers, as their action, though natural, is considered mutinous. The military authorities have broken faith; with the Canadians in several instances. They promised that the Canadians*were to be kept together, and to -be ^fticered by Canadians. They'have broken faith w:ith regard to pay, and also regarding the pur-, chase of discharges, refusing the. Canadians this privilege.�� The first ana second ; Canadian'. contingents, and Strathcona Horse, did such brilliant work' here that; they have aroused jealousy'; among the British officers.

'Anti-Ritualists Have No Case LONDON, February-10.���In the king's bench division of the court of justice, the lord chief justice, baron Alverstone, dismissed the matter of the objection against the confirmation of the right reverend Charles A. Gore, as bishop of Wort-ester. The lord chief justice held that! the objectors (John Kensit and other anti-ritualists) had no right to interpose, pointing out that such interference, in the crown's prerogative to nominate bishops, has been tolerated since the reign of Henry VIII. Tha court suggested, however, that it might be advisable to modify the form of pub- 4ic^itation-in-the-case-of-the=conftrma-= tion; of the election of the bishops with a view of removing the temptation to raise objection at unsuitable times.

As might have been expected "the man-; agers.of tile large American railway systems have succeeded in [demonstrating, that given a monopoly in their respective territories they are in a positiion to pay a higher rate of wages and offer lower' transportation, rates' tfian~"tney could in districts where they were oblig- ^ed^to-TOeetWmpetitio^^ this is plain, as competition in a given territory means a doubling of operating expenses without any material increase in the volume of business. If therefore a railroad has a monopoly in a given district, anil secures double the business that would come to it with a competing, line, with no relative increase in operating expenses, it is manifestly possible for it to pay higher wages and quote lower rates than would it be possible with competition. But while this possibility of higher, wages and low rates ��� presents itself, it cannot be said that it is seized upon with any degree of avidity by .railway managements enoying such immunity from competition. At least the commissoiners enquiry failed to establish any such circumstance. It is here, however, that the Toronto Globe suggests the remedy of the commonwealth should be applied. It recognizes that monopoly is capable of great "economi.es, but, in order that the-people, as a whole shall share in such advantage, it points out that the one* thing required is government control of existing railways. This it suggests is. .Canada's remedy rather than the, expensive plan either of purchasing them.or duplicating them. The Dunsmuir government may have a frail hold upon the confidence of the electors of the province, as its detractors proclaim with such growing emphasis, and it may ill deserve that small measure of confidence so grudgingly conceded to it. But although such statements have been repeated week in and week out for several months, especially in that portion of the press which is Liberal in its leanings, it cannot be said that anything in recent political happenings warrants any such assumption. A Liberal convention was possibly the last place that tho3e friendly to the Dunsmuir government would look for support. Yet something approaching at least a temporary endorsement of the Dunsmuir goyernment was jthe logical effect ofthe convention's action in selecting Joseph Martin as leader. Joseph Martin for a few months -filled the position of premier of the province. He at present holds a seat in the legislature; and frankly says he expects to again be premier. But for some time past "Mr. Martin has been supporting the Dunsmuir government. He acknowledged the corn before his name was placed in nomination for the leadership,' and he supplemented the admission with the further statement that in all probability he would continue to tup- port the Dunsmuir government. He gavr. as his reason for such a course his own conviction that whatever might be said concerning the present administration it was preferable to any government which might be formed out of the Conservative bolters who were at present fighting it, despite 'such .-leaven'-as might be furnished by the inclusion of Victoria's eminent Liberal in the person of E. V. Bodwell. Having made this declaration Mr. Martin's name was placed in nomination for the-Liberal leadership. He was the choice of the convention on the first ballot, and forthwith was made the unanimous choice. It cannot be said, therefore, that is with, any degree of fairness, that the Liberals of the province are going "gunning"-for Dunsmuir and his government. THE CANADIAN REBELLION Likened to Boer Revolt The Times* report of Mr. Chamberlain'^ speech in' the British house of eomjmons on January 20th shows that the 'history of the rebellion in Canada in 1J837 is being considered in relation to the future of South Africa." The speech also shows the attitude of the goyernment as to peace overtures. Toward the end of his speech, on the Liberals* amendment to the address, Mr. Chamberlain said: -^I-now-come-to=the-ppsition-occupied- by the leader of the opposition and his friends. The right honorable gentleman has been endeavoring to fix on the government a policy which we have never expressed. He has said that our.policy is a policy of extermination, "-y crushing a brave race into the dust. It is perfectly ab"smd and rid/culou-; to confuse'a policy of unconditional surrender with a policy of extermination. The right honorable gentleman might think we were in the middle ages, when a policy of unconditional surrender meant that a town was to be given up to sack, that outrages on women and the confiscation of property were to be allowed, and the population decimated. ���If we ever used the term "unconditional surrender" we meant nothing of that kind1. > I am today challenged to adopt the policy of lord Durham in Canada. It is to me a very extraordinary thing that gentlemen who talk about the precedent of Canada have evidently not taken the trouble to read the history of those times. They speak as if there were some similarity between the two cases. The honorable gentleman for Blland discriminated���and laid great stress upon the discrimination���between the judgment of lord Durham and the conduct of his majesty's present government, and he forgot to tell you���because, perhaps, he did not know���that the policy of lord Durham was a policy of unconditional surrender. When the rebellion was put down nothing but an unconditional surrender was accepted, but let me for a moment in two or three words remind the house what took place in Canada. The Canadians had great grievances, which the Cape rebels had not. The Cape rebels had every liberty, every right, every privilege which the Canadians desired or which they have since acquired. There was justification���or an excuse���for the conduct of the Canadian rebels. There was no justification of any kind for the conduct of the Cape rebels. In the case of Canada there was justification, which was admitted by. subsequent legislation. The wrongs of the Canadians were subsequently redressed, but they were redressed on the initiation of this country, and not as terms or conditions of surrender. Mark the difference. What we are going to do in the future, and we urge that it should not be made a term or condition of surrender.^ That was exactly the case in Canada. But the rebellion in Canada was a triuing matter. It did not put this country or Canada itself to any considerable loss. The first rebellion lasted 22 days. Lord Durham, after that rebellion was put down, refused amnesty to the leaders. What penalty have we put upon any man who has taken a leading part in the rebellion? Nope. Nobody has been shot for treason; people have been shot for murder and for other military offences, and. people have been condemned to long terms of penal servitude for similar offences, but I believe the sentences upon those who have been guilty of treason, pure and simple, have in almost every case been extremely light and lenient. Then lord Durham not only refused amnesty to the ringleaders, but he banished some of the to the Bermudas, it is rather curious how he anticipated the present state of things. "A Nationalist member���Cromwell sent Irish to the Bermudas. We also have banished some of the leaders to the Bermudas.- But. the government of the day rejected lord Durham's proposal, and lord Durham resigned in high dudgeon because his proposal to banish the Canadian leaders of the rebellion to the Bermudas was not accepted by the government of the time. Immediately after his departure, or nearly so, a renewal of the insurrection followed. A gentleman who, I believe, was universally recognized as a sober- minded man, in writing about the matter, said to lord Glenelg that it was excited by the recollection of past impunity and the hope of future amnesty. After all, in proportion to the number engaged, it seems to me that the severity which was carried out on that occasion has exceeded anything which up to the present time has taken place in South Africa. For on the whole I find that 25 persons were executed and 158 leaders were either banished or transported to New South Wales. I doubt whether we have reached those numbers at present, and certainly w<* are dealing with a very much larger poula- tioni That is the historical parallel to which the honorable gentleman opposite appeals. I accept the parallel, and certainly I can justify anything that we have done from that. Another parallel has been brought forward, again with the least possible acquaintance with the facts. No one has ever' contested the magnanimity of the United States in dealing with the rebels at the time of Lee's surrender; but what were the terms. The terms were unconditional surrender. In the first place, whilst the lives of the soldiers were spared, no political conditions whatsoever were laid down. The United States government were free to deal with them as they pleased, and afterwards it is perfectly well known that they considered' themselves. free to deal with the ex-president .of the confederacy on a criminal charge. There was universal confiscation,=affecting--~every^owner^.of. property. Then, again, politically, representation was withheld from them for a number of years���I think it was ten year's. When it was granted to them it was granted to their former slaves at the same time, so that they were placed under the political supremacy of their former slaves. I beg the house to contrast that with what we are doing. We certainly shall be less hard than the United States of America. As I say, we do not propose ���wc shall not propose���any general confiscation. But we decline to be bound at the time of surrender to any special conditions which may embarrass us in the future. The course or the principles which were adopted by the United States of America, although they did not immediately lead to harmony, did lead to harmony in the end., and after a puriod which was a mere trifle in the life of a nation brought about a complete reunion. I say we have every indication of the same result will follow in the case of the Boers. It Is no slight thing that at the present moment we have 2000 men who are native burghers of the Transvaal fighting on our j-ute against the men who are' -still in the field��� (cheers)���fighting' because they believe the latter are enemies of their country. Only the other day we received a communication from the prisoners in the Bermudas expressing their entire disapproval of the continuance of the war. I speak of these as indications. In Ceylon it was suggested that the Boers should join the British forces in India. At once something under 200 men gave in their names to fight in our pay and under our flag, and we were shown that if we had been willing to go on with the proposal, which we rejected on various grounds. 800 men would have been willing to follow the British flag. If-that is going on among the prisoners, if it is already going on in the Transvaal, why should we assume that after peace has been made the great majority will not, recognizing their defeat, be willing to settle down as peaceful citizens? One other word. There is the question of amnesty. It is said that we ought to grant a general amnesty. When peace is restored it is wise to offer the largest possible amnesty that, can be offered in view of justice to those who have suffered, in view of our own future security and in view of tho general policy of nations in such circumstances. 00 ' 00' 00 ' 00' 00 ' 00*00 '00 t**'-^ ��� *��*"fc. ���><��v- <ST^I **<--^ ��� "^ ��� *"<��^ to �� NEW SPRING AND SUMMER DRY GOODS { to 9\ 9) 9\ 9\ to 9\ to Just received a large importation direct from manufacturers the following lines of new spring and summer dry goods.

There will be no extermination of the people. The utmost that will be done will be to deal with those who have committed military offences or ordinary crimes; and to deal in a more lenient way, probably by reference to the franchise, with those who have shown themselves worthy to use it. These are our views as to the settlement that can be made and as to the spirit in whjch we shall approach it. I believe these views are the views of the vast majority of the people of the country. In answer to a question Mr. Chamberlain said: No sentences of banishment have been promulgated, and leaders captured since September 15th are for. the present being detained like ordinary prisoners of war. Notices have been published in the Gazette of the new amounting in all to 105, having been commissioner that certain persons, amounting in aoll- to. 105, having been/ captured under arms since September 15th, have come within the provisions of the Jaigh commissioner's proclamation of August 7th. The necessary legislative measures for giving effect to the proclamation after the end of the war must be taken later. KOOTENAY.... COFFEE OO. ���******************.******.

Purchase of Telegraphs Every telegraph company that was in existence in 1S8G, and every telegraph company that has been organized since that time, has filed with the postmaster- general of the United States its written acceptance under seal of the terms of the act of congress of July 24, 1886, agreeing thereby, in consideration of the right if way over post roads and through government land and under or across navigable waters, to transmit messages at rates to be fixed annually by the postmaster-general, and to sell its lines to the United States at a price to be fixed by arbitrators, one to be appointed by the postmaster-general, one by the company, the third by these two.

Savings Bank Branch OORKKNT RATE OV INTKRK8T PAID. ONLY A HARE IN THE SNOW H. A Bryden in Chamber's Journal On a bitter winter's morning- ol" the year 1537, Thomas Goodwin, peasant, rose, from his pallet, shifted tho sheepskin coverlet over his wife and babe, and in half darkness began to array himself for the Held. Thomas awoke in no happy mood this nark January morning, lie was out. of work and nearly starving; his wire lay abed wilh her first child, now only ten days old. Do what he could he did- not know where to turn for a day's wage or food must bo cot somehow. Thomas ���"'--'"��� win, strong of thews, a giant in'S^.-rre, and a willing worker, was just now, by no fault of his own ln a hard case. The constant growth of the wool and the spread of sheep throughout Kngland had ruined the yeoman as it had ruined many of his kind. At Michaelmas he W had given up the struggle, and his small >' patrimony had been acquired by the neigh- of the great lord of Ihe manor, sir Edmund Wing, knight of thr shire. Sir Edmund was one who jumped alertly with the spirit of tho time, lie was zealous, nay, a searching I-'rotestanl; and Thomas Goodwin had lallcn under his displeasure for thai, in his slow Saxon way, he had not turned liis cloak of religion over ciulck- fly. The nickering firelight fell upon the woman's race as she sat up in bed and took ihe porringer from her husband. Where was he going she asked him. To Tliorue- 'fiekl, a neighboring' village, he uns-vered, to see If by any chap.ee lie might get work there. Thomas Goodwin tramped steadily through the snow. Crossing a belt which lay between him and the more.open country, he presently entered upon a spreading stretch of grass land���now sheeted ln with snow���whicli formed a corner of the park of the great lord of the monr, Sir Edmund Wiuff. Just before he came to tho high stile which gave exit from the park to the arable Yields beyond, Goodwin suddenly halted. Something in. the snow arrested his [attention. ! A great hare had come loping down the park, picking its way delicately through 'the snow covering, passing beneath the stile and moving out over the. Molds be- r.'yond. The man's hungry eyes were riveted on those delicate footprints. If he could Out secure that hare his wife would fare "sumptiously in the rich Mesh and broth jfor two days at least, even if he himself ' picked a bone or two. Thomas looked around���not a figure showed anywhere on the whole landscape. The keepers he well knew were on the .other side of the park, looking to the feeding of the deer,-.which in this hard season wero being helped with the comforts of hay and straw. It was a risk, but Thomas 'mind was,, quickly made up. The snow would be again tailing in an hour or two and his footprints and tho hare's would he obliterated. This was a sequestered corner" of the park, seldom visited by the knight or his servants, He was like most peasants of that period, skilled in woodcraft, and had a pretty ���shrewd idea whither the hare, was making his -way. The instinct of the wild creature ���warned it of a heavy snow fall about to descend, and the animal was now on its way to some warmer and more cozy corner for shelter. The tale so plainly told ln the snow, came to an end just as Thomas Goodwin had expected. Passing a thick piece of bracken, below a sheltering wall of dark grreen'grose, the man's "keen eye noted the brown skin of a great doe hare, nestling snugly In the form in-which she had so recently ensconced her self. His eye carefully avoided hers, but just as he passed her he gave one swift whirl of the crabtree staff, which, crashing into the skull.of the hare laid her instantly dead. Within an hour the hare was skinned and simmering in an iron pot, while Thorn as and his wife, wonderf u 11 y ..bright-. ehed by this unexpected piece of good for- 'tune, were devising fresh plans for the future. But 'Goodwin's successful raid on the hare had not entirely been unperceived. ���fpst as Thomas had crossed that corner and caught sight of the hare and halted, sir Edmund Wing had entered his dining hall, and before falling to breakfast happened to be surveying the landscape. At that moment a llgure came Into view, grossing the corner of the park. It was a :lull dark morning, but. sir Edmund Wing had a sharp eye, and ho noticed that the "iguro stopped and looked around before passing on. The knight's brow contracted. Presently, after an Interview with ills ���toward, ho called for his outdoor gear, fowiird the end of the avenue sir Kdmund .urned away from the well trodden path md plunged across the smooth while waste .hat lay' before him. lie plowed his way steadily for nearly wo furlongs. And then he suddenly came ipon the traces he expected to find. The ootprints told a clear tale and the knight's >road brow knit ominously. Mere hnd a aire passed. There had a man halted, razed, and, taking up the tracks, pursued lis quarry. Ten or fifteen years before, In the fif- eenth year of the reign of the present king lenry, the knight hud busied himself for he passing of a statute whicli provided I'or ust such an offense as he now saw delin- aled In the snow. Thus ran the statute: 'None shall trace, kill or destroy any hare i the snow, in pain of Ss Gd for every such 'ffensc,' which penalty assessed in scs- ions shall go to the king; but in a Leet, o the lord thereof." The knight now sot himself to follow the ootprints of this man. Who was the varlet vho dared Ihus to break tho law on his ind? He marched briskly on the snow and resently came upon the scene of the fi'are's death. Tho quick eye of the sportsman saw eadily the whole tragedy in little. Sir idmund cleared away with his staff tlie now which had carelessly kicked up by [Thomas Goodwin to cover up the traces of lis capture. There, as he expected, were he signs of death, a red, circular stain or :wo. where the hare's blood had dripped *n the spotless snow. Meanwhile the dark, leaden sky had bo- come more overcast. Flakes were beginning co descend lightly, tho forerunner of a ighty fall. He folded his clonk more tightly about him and entered the woodland, still following the man's footprints. In little more than half an hour he stood before the cottage of Thomas Goodwin. The snow now fell in thick blinding flakes. For the last ten minutes all footprints had been obliterated, but sir Edmund now kn?w v here his quarrv had taken refuge, and he had struggled through the rising hurricane straight for the mud hovel where were starved Thomas Goodwin and his wife. Without word or knock of warning Hip knight of Cleathercote lifted the latch and entered the poor dwelling, vigorously shook the snow from his person and looked around him.

If the man had had anv sentiment of pity in his heart it would surely havo arose at that moment to rebuke him. But in sir Edmund's heart, In the stead of pitv, only a tierce resentment burned. The smell of cooking whicli had greeted his nostrils told him quickly what had become of the hare. A bloody knife on tlie table and the skin completed the chain of evidence. The man, who had been stooping over his cooking pot on the rude stone hearth, had straightened himself as the knight entered, and making a clumsy obeisance, now looked at him ruefully, tongue-tied and Willi fear. "So," said the knight in a harsh, angry voice, "tis as I had expected, you are the man who steals my hares, snares0 my pheasants, and 1 dare wager, slays ray deer. 1 have watched every move in your knavish lawbreaking, and by my troth you shall suffer for it." "Your honor���reckon I was tempted. I killed de hare, 'tis true, hut 1 been't a poacher by nalur' as some be. We starve; de wife be sick and weakly. A man must live. 1 cannot get work, and dis bitter weather do try us sorely. I cannot see my wife and babe die for lack of victual. What be a man to do?" "Do?" roared the knight angrily. "Why, take that hare from t^io pot, put it into Ilia sack, it will do to feed my dogs, and come to the manor with me. I'll teach theo knave to steal my game from my park right under my very nose.'' "I won't part with do food, asking your honor's pardon, and that's flat." Sur Edmund uttered a tierce oath, strode lo tho hearth, kicked tlie pot over with his boot and Curios'*,* trampled the piece of half cooked tlesli Into the fire and ashes. In a sudden impulse ot frenzy, Goodwin snatched the long knife from the table; the knight's back was towards him. With all tlie energy of his huge frame and the frantic hatred, of despair and passion, he drove the weapon deep between Iho ribs of his enemy and destroyer. A gasp or two, a. convulsive struggle of the limbs and chest, and in a few seconds tho knight of the shire lay there as much clay as the walls of the hut around him. Tho man and woman looked at one another with eyes in which sickening horror and tlio birth of a haunting fear struggled for tho mastery. "AVhat���what shall ns do?" he gasped. The woman, pale, and trembling as she was, had the readier wit. Her instinct of self preservation wa.s the keener. "Put him under the bed until nightfall, and clean that knife." Goodwin did as he was told, shuddering at his foil task, tidied up the cottage, destroyed all trace of the hare and then opened the door and looked out. Once, indeed, a sharp knock came to the door, and a head was thrust inside, and a blue-faced forester Inquired, "Hath sir Edmund been seen this way today?" Goodwin answered "nay," and the man passed hastily on. It was a fearsome moment but nothing came of it. That evening, Thomas Goodwin, fastening a long coil of rope about his waist, and carrying on his back a ghastly burden, staggered through the forest, and after incredible exertion reached a huge oak tree in the woods more than a half "mile away. This oak ho had known in his boyhood, when, to his vast delight, he had found at tlie crown of tlie massive bole a great cavernous hollow. He reached the tree, fastened a running noose under the armpits of the now stiff corpse, and then, with the free end of this stout rope in his grip, climbed from branch to branch until he had reached his resting place. Then, with tho exertion of all his mighty strength, slowly, slowly he drew the grisly burden up toward him. The man's iron sinews cracked and stretched, yet the task was achieved, the rope loosened from the heavy corpse, and then the body of sir Edmund "Wing finally vanished from tlie eve of the world. With a dull, crashing thud it reached the bottom of the hollow tree. Sir Edmund Wing's murder was never discovered. The countryside was searched, the greatest anxiety prevailed, but the snow and oak tree effectually ballled every effort of the searchers. ^=--IU^was=belIe.ved=that���during-^that- wild tempest, the knight had lost his way,, had either fallen into the neighboring- river or perished in a snow drift in some deep bottom or pit. The search in time was abandoned, and the wonder of tho knighl's disappearance finally faded into a mere memory. More than 200 years later, when the old oak had rotted lo pieces and some bones wore discovered in its recesses, the Wing family had died out, and the estate had passed inlo tho hands of dillorcnt owners and the mystery was forgotten. The shock of that dreadful day and night killed Goodwin's wife, who died and was buried a fortnight later. The man and Ills child lived on, and they slill make their .homes within sight of the pleasant South Downs. And il is a curious fact that a hare in that family is looked upon as an unwholesome or poisonous food; and to this day not a man or woman of the blood will partake of 11.

LAY, Manager. m to to to 9) to MARTIN'S POSITION DEFINED "I fully by Mr. Monopoly and Freight Bates The wide attention given to recent utterances by James J. Hill with regard to railway competition shows that the public have learned Ihe futiltiy of many schemes formerly advocated for dealing with the freight rate problem. If we were confronted with the alternative of uncontrolled monopoly, as at present, and competitive lines, the latter would no doubt be preferable; but it is within tha power of the Canadian government to create a commission with power Lo regulate rates, and that would no doubt bo preferable to Ihe illusory advantages of competition. Mr. Hill pointed out to the caltle raisers in Fargo, North Dakota, that without competition rates had been reduced faster there than any place in the country. This seems to be substantiated by the following from a skelch of Mr. Hill in Harper's Weekly: "' "It has been said a hundred times, but it can be said again, that James J. Hill, from the time he was working on the railway to the present moment, when he is working on problems bigger than any monarch ever thought or attempting, has, while working for himself, made the Northwest. Everything was there, to be sure, except inhabitants and a way of getting in and out. He made his work transportation. He built railroads; lie absorbed other railroads; he reduced rates as wages rose, until now rates arc lower and wages higher than anywhere else in the world." That a railway enjoying a monopoly can give cheaper rates and pay higher wages than under competition requires no argument. But will it do so? A railway will not charge as little, but as much as It can. A monopoly enables a railway to charge low rates, but It also enables it to charge high rates, and if there is no restriction or control the latter course will naturally be be followed.. Tho best policy in most parts of the Dominion is a monopoly enabling the railways to charge low rates, and a commission to compel them to do so.���Toronto Globe. Has a Strong Following Liberals who are inclined to quarrel wiUh the decision of the recent Vancouver convention, in making Joseph Martin the- leader of the party in this province will find little solace in the press reports of the Liberal gathering. From the telegraphic summary of the proceedings it. was made to appear tlhat Martin won by a bare majority. This, however, was far from being the case. There was but one ballot taken, and as is usual in such cases there were a number of complimentary votes. There were but t'aree candidates who received a vote greater than that of their home delegates. These were Joseph Martin, and W. W. B. Mclnnes, and J. C. Brown, two of Martin's staunchest supporters Previous to the voting upon the question of leadership Mr. Martin took occasion to make a statement. He said hie intended to bend his course in the house entirely in the interests of the Liberal party, having been elected as a straight Grit. He supported the present government last session, toward the end of it, and possibly might support it this session, because he preferred it to a straight Conservative government, which be believed would be formed, if the present coalition were defeated. In other words, he preferred Mr. Dunsmuir and his associates to such a government as Messrs, Helmcken, McPhillips, McBride, Garden, Tatlow, and others might form, even if leavened by the presence of B. V. Bodwell. He would take his position in the house entirely untrammelled, and would agitate for the passage of a redistribution bill before any other legislation was allowed to come up in the house. John Oliver, M. P. P., said: endorse the statement made Martin." c The question of electing a leader was then taken- up for consideration. Many of the delegates from the Upper Country were desirous that the choice of a leader should not be made at the present convention, and a vote by ballot was .taken on the point whether or no the election should take place, which resulted in G5 for and 25 against. The election was accordingly proceeded with. Ballot papers were distributed, the roll was called, and delegates stepped forward and cast their votes into a hat, held by the scrutineers. The result of the count was declared as follows: Joseph Martin 47 W. W. B. Mclnnes. 17 J. C. Brown 8 G. R. Maxwell 4 James McQueen 4 John Oliver 3 Richard Hall 3 Stuart Henderson 1 Spoiled Ballot 1 Mr. Martin, having a clear majority over all of 7 votes, was declared elected, and upon motion of W". W. B. Mclnnes, seconded by J. C. Brown, the election was made unanimous. There__was considerable, cheering at the announcement of Mr. Martin's election, and the enthusiasm was redoubled when unanimous endorsation was given it. The new leader was called upon for a speech, and in responding, acknow- legded the honor that had.been conferred upon him. He had been an active politician for a long time, and had experience what might be called a varied career. In some respects his party had been good to him. He had declined high positions offered to him. by the Dominion government, positions which promised relief from care, but there was no position which could have been offered him in connection with his {sojourn in British Columbia which could have been so acceptable as that received at their hands, although that position had no great comfort in it from a worldly point of view. It mean great responsibility, and probably a continuation of that abuse which he was so much accustomed to. He asked the hearty support of all the Liberals of the province, and believed he would get it. He would endeavor to so conduct himself that not only those who voted for him, but those who voted against him, would never have cause to be sorry for. casting their choice upon his shoulders. In political matters he was sanguine, and, like his friend Mr. Brown, believed victory would soon come. If it did not he would not be discouraged. While prepared (having been chosen by them to represent the Liberals of the province) to act as the premier of the province, still if the decision of the people be otherwise, and their opponents were chosen, he was just as prepared to stand up in the house and fight as leader in the opposition. It was not necessary for him to speak of his platform, as that had been decided by themselves. Within the four corners of that platform were the principles upon which the campaign must be fought. He was absolutely bound by that. Not only would he advocate these principles in the campaign, but after they were elected would see that they were fully and completely carried out. The campaign of the new Liberal party was to commence tonight. He discredited the idea of some of their friends who had left them, that the convention would not be accepted by the 9} 9> to ft ft ft % Jacob Dover The Jeweler Nelson, B. C.

When those gentlemen had time to think matters over, he thought they would conclude it was best to fall into line with the convention. When they felt prepared to fall into line and accept what was done in convention he would welcome them gladly. Personal jealousies must be eschewed where there was a common opponent to fight against, in the Conservative party of the province. . There was perhaps one advantage in his selection for the leadership, in that he occupied a seat in'the local house;",, and also had at his back four gentlemen who were prepared to help him in every possible way, and take advantage of the situation there and work it in every possible way to the advantage of the Liberal party. _ He was not in a position to give details, but could say that he thought he saw his way clear to bring things round in such a way that they would not get the worst of it at any rate.

Millward's orchestra will leave for that place, this morning and also a number of the local members of that fraternity. Owing to the illness of judge Forin's eldest daughter, he has been compelled to cancel the arrangement made to attend the sitting of the court at Greenwood today in place of judge Leamy, who is ill and unable to discharge his official duties. Owing to a slight railroad accident at Revelstoke Mr. Justice Martin wired to the deputy registrar yesterday that he would be unable to reach the city on time to open the sitting of the supreme court this morning, and it has therefore been adjourned until tomorrow morning. The junior hockey team will play a return match with the Rossland juniors at the rink this evening, commencing at 8 o'clock. The following are the Nelson men: Goal, W. Davidson; point, P. Greyerbiehl; cover point, N. Stewart; forwards, H. McLean, Roy Sharpe, Roy Moie, and Bert Wallace. The police are In receipt of a communi- -cation-from=the=father-of-a-young-man-of-= the name of Sebastian Short, who left London, England, in March, 1900. The last that was heard of him was on October 10th of last year, when he was residing with a man of the name of Spring Rice, Panse, Assinaboia. He is then reported to have loft for the west, having purchased a ticket for Vancouver or Victoria. The conversazione and dance at tho Phair hotel in the interest of the publio library, was a decided success. About sixty couples were present. During the llrst part of tho evening Mesdames Davys, Bruce White and Hannington and George Kydd rendered vocal and instrumental selections. Tt Is expected that a. substantial sum will be at the disposal of Ihe library committee for the continuation of the work. A very plcasnnt socinl was held In (lie parlors of the Congregational church last evening, when a short program wns rendered by members of the choir and others. Mrs. Murray sang ln her best style "The Brook," by reo.ue.st, which was well received. Miss Manhart sang "Last Night," and Miss Manson rendered a nice song entitled "O! Promise me," which were well received. A short address was given by the Rev. W. Munroe. A communication was recently received In the city from P. J. Russell, who Is now residing in Seattle, reporting the arrest and conviction of a man of the name of Sullivan, who has been found guilty of passing forged checks in a very similar way, and for about the same amounts, as was done In this city on several occasions during the last two years. Mr. Russell, who was "bit" by one of the fraternity, Is of tho opinion that Sullivan was the man who operated in Nelson. The Spokane Review publishes a sensational story from "a man who knows" to the effect that Wluttaker Wright has again secured control of the Le Roi mine. This story, improbable as it appears, may be true, but if the man who knows all about the Le Roi affairs is no better posted concerning them than he is respecting the movements of the late J. Roderick Robertson, his story is not worthy of serious consideration. He rounds out his Le Roi story with the statement that at the time of his death Mr. Robertson was on his way to London in connection with tho Le Roi reorganization.
