Higgins & Elliott, barristers, of this city, had entered an action against the White Pass & Yukon railway for damages, and the return of freight and passenger rates paid by their clients, as the tariff of the company had not been approved by the Dominion government, as required by the Railway Act, and further because the tariffs were unjust and extortionate, there were those who looked upon the action as a bluff. Now that Mr. Justice Martin, of the supreme court, has decided that the plaintiffs have a right of action against the company under the Railway Act, the feeling is gaining ground that the suits are yery serious, and should they be decided against the company there will be no telling where the matter will end. Already three writs have been issued on behalf of the Upper Yukon Consolidated Company, Joseph Clearihuw and J. St. Clair Blackett & Company. The latter writ was issued yesterday, and in it the claim is for $40,000, making the amount so far sued for $300,000. Other writs are to be issued, one for $100,000, by the Victoria Yukon Trading & Transportation Company. The aggregate claims in the writs to be taken out in Victoria will total three quarter of a million dollars. Messrs. Bodwell & Duff, have accepted, a retainer to act as chief counsel in all the cases in which Messrs. Higgins & Elliott are solicitors for the claimants. Messrs. Bodwell & Duff have also been retained by parties having similar claims against the company, and in all cases the two legal firms will act together. It is expected that the cases wiU'Corae to trial at the assizes to be held during March. H. M. S. Egeria which returned this morning from a trip along the coast in search of the missing Condor, is being held in readiness to proceed on another trip should the admiralty consider it necessary. Among shipping men no hope is held out for the missing warship. While on her cruise along the coast, the Egeria was aground ror twelve hours, but suffered no damage. She ran on a submerged rock, but being a wooden vessel her hull was not damaged. weeks if it was to be had. The state-n ment that the Amalgamated has sold such an enormous amount of copper that it has practically fllled up the consumers for the next six months to come, cannot be true in view of the fact that the demand still continues as it does. One peculiar feature of the market is that lake, electrolytic and casting copper are all quoted at or very near the same price. So far as casting copper Is concerned, there is practically none on the market, for at the recent low prices the demand for it was so enormous that it was all bought up by consumers. Railroads, machinery manufacturers, and those who use casting, absorbed every pound they could find, and would gladly get more if it was in exictence. It is certain that the worst of the copper trouble- is over, and that law of supply and demand will now exert its natural influence on the market. We look for higher prices in copper in the immediate future because of the great demand.���Western Mining World. found the charred body of Terrence O'RIelly, father of assemblyman O'Rielly of the thirteenth district, in a corner of the building. SYNDICATE'S NEW OFFICERS Greenwood Local News GREENWOOD, February 11.���-[Special to The Tribune.]���Judge Forin arrived here today to preside in the county court tomorrow. The case is that of Wickwire vs Wartman, judge Leamy declining to sit, having before his appointment as judge acted in Wartman's interests. The case involves Wartman's right to cut timber on Wickwire's mineral claims, which Wartman thinks are part of his pre emption. George Br"Paur,"accountant"*for^the British Columbia Copper Company, had a narrow escape from serious accident today. The blast furnace house is being extended and one man, employed on this work, was removing part of the roof building. Just as Paul was leaving the furnace house on the feed floor level, the workman threw down a sheet of corrugated Iron from the roof, lt barely missed Paul's head, striking him on the foot as he walked. Although Bomewhat scared, he escaped injury. Mrs. Leamy, wife of judge Leamy, was taken suddenly ill whilst visiting at a friend's house last night. For a short time her condition was alarming, but she rallied sufficiently to be removed to her own home. It Ib reported that she is much better today. i Remembering Mary's Victims LONDON, February 11.���An interesting ceremony has taken place in the vault of St. Peter's church, in the Tower of London. The ceremony was the erection of a tablet recording that within the walls of the vault were deposited! two chests containing the remains of many distinguished persons who had been beheaded on Tower Hill, and which for a time were interred beneath the floor of the chancel and nave. The removal of these remains, which includ- : ed the bones of lady Jane Grey, her husband, lord Guilford Dudley, the duke of Northumberland, and the duke of Suffolk, all executed during the reign of queen Mary, was carried out forty years ago. Copper Will Advance During the week the copper situation has improved very materially and it gives every promise of a still greater improvement in the near future. The recent demand for copper has been simply enormous, notwithstanding that the surplus on hand a few weeks ago has evidently been sold and distributed among consumers. It is apparent that consumers the world over held off from buying copper until the present low prices were reached. They then came into the market with an unprecedented rush to make up for the past deficiency and to lay in a supply for the future. Millions of pounds more copper could have been sold during the past few Property in Good Shape The annual .meeting of the Imperial Development Syndicate was held yesterday afternoon. The business of the meeting consisted in the consideration of the several reports and the election of officers for the ensuing year. A, H. Gracey, manager of the syndicate's affairs, presented a highly encouraging report of the development on the Imperial and Eva groups since they were thrown up by the London and British Columbia Goldflelds. In describing this work it was explained that a prospecting shaft had been sunk on the Highland Mary, in about the centre of a large outcropping which gave an indicated width to the ledge of 60 feet. Whether this one. large ledge or a couple of smaller ones converging at this point has not been determined as yet. In the sinking of the shaft to a depth of 50 feet, however, it was put down on a good body of ore which filled the width of the shaft, but the full extent of which has not been determined. An average assay of this ore body is said to indicate a value of a little over $13'to the ton. From the bottom of this shaft a crosscut was run for several feet which cut another body of ore���of a width of ten feet. This ore gives an indicated value o $9 to the ton. The manager expressed himself as highly pleased with the recent improvements.. . _ ... ��� The election of officers resulted as follows: George Gillies, Toronto, president; Dr. E. C. Arthur, vice president; W. W. Beer, second vice president; H. Bird, treasurer; A. H. Gracey, secretary and manager. These together with Messrs. A. L. McCulloch, J. L. Stocks, W. P. Tierney, T. J. Duncan and P. Lamont, constitute the board of directors. Court Martials Illegal ST. LOUIS, February 11.���Established precedents of the United States army were overthrown and the freedom of nearly 200 men now confined in federal penitentiaries was assured by a decision rendered in the United States court of appeals today in the case of Peter C. Deming, a former captain of volunteers, against Robert M. McClaughrey, warden of the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. Deming was imprisoned on the sentence of a court martial composed of nine regular officers, convened by general W. R. Shatter, on March 29th, 1900. The opinion of the circuit court, written by judgeWalteKSrSanbornr-is that the court martial which sentenced Deming acted in violation of article 77 of the articles of war, which provides that officers of the regular army shall not be competent to sit on court martial for the trial of officers and soldiers of other forces. The essential questions, as stated in judge Sanborn's opinion, is whether the volunteer army is the same as the regular army, or whether lt is one of the "other forces" mentioned in article 77. The opinion establishes the fact that the volunteer army is at all times distinct from the regular army. Deming will be released from the Fort Leavonworth penitentiary within CO days. He was commissioned under the act of 1899, providing for the enlistment of soldiers for the Philippine war. The charge against him related to his accounts. The court martial dismissed Deming from the service and sentenced him to three years in the penitentiary. This sentence was affirmed by the secretary of war and approved of by the president. International Chess Kesults MONTE CARLO, February 11.���The sixth round of the international chess tournament was begun here this morning. At the first adjournement this afternoon, the following results had been recorded: Popiel had disposed of Nap- iers, and Schlechter and Marco, and Janowski and Eisenberg had drawn. The following additional results were registered this afternoon: Mason lost to Pillsbury, Maroczy beat Reggio, Marshal worsted Mortimer, Wolf and Teichmann adjourned their game, as did Tschigorin and Albin, while Mieses and Gunsberg drew. Was Burned to Death NEW YORK, February 11.���Running at top speed down Broadway this afternoon, a runaway horse dashed through the window of a one-story building, tip- set a stove and set fire to the place, in which were two men. One of them, with escape cut off, was burned to death. The other was cut about the head, and almost blinded by the flying glass, managed to escape through the front door. The house was destroyed and when the I firemen searched through the ruins they | Strike on Government Job VANCOUVER, February 11.���[Special to The Tribune.]���J. Ward, proprietor of a hotel at Shoal Bay, was brought here today and paid $300 fine for selling liquor to Indians. This is probably the largest fine ever collected in the province for a like offence. The carpenters and caulkers who were working on the construction of a government fisher cruiser in the Wallace yards went on strike today on account of two non-union and objectionable men having been employed at the work. A meeting was held this morning, but no settlement made. SQUATTERS FIGHT RIVAL WATCHMEN SHOOT TO KILL . Switchmen's Strike MISSOULA, February 11.���The swltch- mena' strike, which was Inaugurated here yesterday in the yards of the Northern Pacific railroad lias assumed a grave aspect. Ijast night the switching crew, out of sympathy for the day men, quit work, and conductors or brakemen have refused to make up or handle any trains unless the switching is done by the regular crews of the yards. The cause of the trouble was the discharging of two men who refused to work with a r6ad engine without side board attachments. The switchmen declare they would violate a state, law if they complied with the order of the railroad company. The statute in quest provides that ihe trainmen and yardmen who are injured while working in the yard with the engine without side board attachments are alone held responsible for such Injuries and collect no damages from the company. A Bate War CLEVELAND, February 11.���The ore carrying rate for 1902 has not yet been fixed. It is said that the United States Steel Corporation and M. A. Hanna & Co. are seeking to establish a rate of 75 cents between Duluth and other points. Cleve- . land vessel owners and representatives of the vessel owners are demanding. 80 cents as a minimum, with 90 cents a ton If possible. The situation is unusual, tn that the shippers' combination ignores a precedent in refusing to acknowledge the rate fixed by early charters. . . * SPEAKER BOOTH RESIGNS FATAL ENDING OF A DILUTE IN CAPTAIN STREETER'S LITTLE COMMONWEALTH the canals does not appear so great as the Chicago committee fears.

Duty Reduced on Print Paper OTTAWA, February 11.���Judge Tascher- eau, who was appointed some time ago to Investigate the charges made by the Canadian newspaper publishers to the effect that the Canadian manufacturers of newsprint had organized a combine, .has made a report which bears out the 'assertions made. In consequence the government has, under a provision of the tariff act giving it power to reduce duties when a combine is known to exist, reduced the duty on newspaper from 25 per cent ad valorem to 15 per cent. CHICAGO, February 11.���During a fight with Winchesters this evening, between the followers of rival claimants to property lying along the lakeshore drive, the most aristocratic boulevard in Chicago, Frank Kirk, a watchman for one of the claimants, was shot through the head, receiving injuries, from which he died. The property in dispute consists of land lying east of the lakeshore drive, and between it and lake Michigan. Captain George W, Streeter',? who has for many- years been a thorn", in the side of north-side property owners, because of his propensity to settle jon vacant ground and then claim in the' courts the right of a squatter, has erected several small shanties upon this ground, and claims that in as much as it was not originally included in the government survey of the state of Illinois1, it did not belong to the state, but was public property, open to settlement. He claims to be the first settler, and callsi tlie ground "the district of lake Michigan" and denies that the officials of the city of Chicago, or the state of Illinois have any rights upon it. ��� Between Streeter and his men, and the watchman employed 'by;.the property owners along the lakeshore drive, there have been frequent fights. Henry Cooper, a lawyer who has been active in his opposition to Streeter, accompanied by policeman O'Malley, went' up on the ground of the "district" and was at-, tacked by Streeter, who knocked him down. Several of Streeter's followers covered O'Malley with revolvers, and he was ordered to leave or be shot. Shortly after Cooper and O'Malley had left the ground, a pitched battle-broke out between three of Streeter's. followers, W. McManners, William Blbckl and John -Keeldtke, .and" two -watchmen^ employed by Cooper, Frank Kirk and; Samuel Porteous. Kirk and -Porteous were standing just out out of a small shanty of their own, and one of the first shots fired struck Kirk in the top of the head. New and Finer Buildings PATERSON. New Jersey, February 11.��� Preparations to rebuild the district that was swept by fire on Sunday last are already beginning. The owners of some of the largest buildings which were destroyed expect to commence the erection of new and finer buildings as soon as the ruins of the old ones can be removed. Militiamen are still on duty In the streets but the regulations have been relaxed and citizens are allowed to pass freely through the lines of sentries. There has been no disorder and the soldiers have had com- rarattvely easy work in guarding the property. Street car service was resumed in different parts of the city and the city schools were reopened today. Handicapping Canadian Sealers SEATTLE, "Washington, February 11.��� The Post-Intelligencer in a special dispatch from Unalaska says that no more startling action has been taken in the much talked of sealing question than the following, written by collector J. W. Ivery of Alaska to his deputy at "Unalaska: "I am advised that British vessels from Canadian ports engaged in pelagic sealing in and about Behring sea, are in the habit of calling at Unalaska and Dutch Harbor for protection in bad weather and the purchase of supplies and enjoying the privileges of the port until the season opens for them to engage in the unlawful and barbarous extermination of the fur seal herd in violation of the laws of the United States and the international agreement with Great Britain. Until further advised on the subject you ire instructed to cease the collection of tonnage dues on this class of vessels from all countries, and to refuse them the privilege of the port, water or fuel and treat them in all respects as vessels engaged in illegal poaching. Any such vessel arriving at your port shall be noti- lied to depart forthwith and in case of refusal to obey promptly, you shall seize and delay such vessel and call the United States marshal and revenue cutter to your assistance. Should you find from personal examination that any such vessel arrives in absolute distress you will allow her to obtain only such relief as will enable her to return to her home port." ' WILL REFUTE DETRACTORS hannesburg amounted to $4800. At one store in Middleburg Boers are spending about $400 a day for luxuries. Even the prisoners are treated a groat deal better than they would be at home, with the exception of being debarred from liberty. All have been sent to points where the climate is warm and. suitable for persons accustomed to living in the sub- tropics. Bermuda, Ceylon and St. Helena all have lovely climates, and British care and treatment seems to have agreed so well with the prisoners that they are taking the oath of allegiance in large numbers. Bermuda is coming to be one of the most popular health resorts to which Americans betake themselves, and the open air, care free existence the detained Boer leads contrasts wonderfully with the treatment heretofore accorded prisoners taken in war by any. other nation. Even St. Helena, for the fact that it is a dull, though perhaps not. nearly as much so as some of the lonely Boer settlements, is a pleasant place to while away existence in. There are no restrictions placed upon the actions of such Boers as want to enter into legitimate business, and many of-" them are con ducting enterprises of various kinds.

Levee in St James Palace LONDON, February It.���King Edward's first levee since his'accession to the throne was held in St. James' Palace at noon today, and was ail exceptionally brilliant affair. The prince of Wales, the . duke ��� of Connaught and other members of the royal family were present, and the gathering of the members of the diplomatic corps, cabinet ministers, and naval and military officers was unprecedentedly large. The king, who wore a field marshal's uniform, drove from Marlborough House to the garden entrance of the palace escorted by life guards. On his arrival there his majesty was received by the officers of .the household and was conducted by the lord chamberlain and lord steward^ to the royal retiring rbbnvr* where~thu- nang^ was =subse��� nuently joined by the other members of the royal family. A procession was then formed and proceeded to the throne room, where the members of the royal family took a position on the left of his majesty in order of precedence. The levee commenced with a reception of the ambassadors, who passed before his majesty ln order of precedence. The cabinet ministers, and others entitled to the privilege of being present, followed the diplomats and finally the general company, Including Messrs. Allison and Armour of Chicago and Charles Gibson of boston passed before his majesty. As prince of Wales, king Edward merely bowed to the presentees, or shook hands with Intimate friends, but today, a new feature was introduced. All those who were known to his majesty kissed his hund, though they did not kneel, This was customary when kissing the late queen Victoria's hand. The king himself selected those who were to kiss his hand, by extending his palm downwards, whereupon the presentee placed his own hand beneath his majesty's and kissed the king's hand on the back. The majority of the presentees, therefore, had to be contented with a simple bow. A cable message received here from the Transvaal announces that the output for the month of January was 70,340 ounces of fine gold, as compared with 52,897 ounces in December last.

Her late majesty's government never proposed, through her majesty's ambassador or otherwise, any declaration to antagonize the action of the United States in Cuba. On the contrary, her late majesty's government declined to assent to any such proposal."' Lipton Will Visit Chicago LONDON, February 11.���Sir Thomas Lipton will accept the committee's Invitation to be present at the Olympian games, to be held in Chicago in 1904, and If possible bring the new America's cup challenger to sail on the lakes. To a representative of the Associated Press sir Thomas said tonight: "I greatly appreciate the Invitation and the kind things president Thurber says about me. I�� nothing prevents it, I shall certainly be present at the games, and If the difficulties can be overcome, I will show the Chicagoians the challenger. If that is Impracticable 1 may build a boat for the .special purpose of competing on the lakes. At the first glance the problem of getting a boat the size of the challenger through Kitchener-Doyle Brochure NEW YORK, February 11. ��� The amount of interest displayed in lord Kitchener's and Conan Doyle's forthcoming brochure on the Boer question is enormous, says a correspondent, writing from London., Englishmen are thoroughly aroused -at the*-~aspersibns cast upon their honor by continental critics, and nothing short of a complete refutation of the calumnies will satisfy them. After this has been published, the matter, by the average Britisher, will be ended. He is no apologist and expects public opinion to square itself after he has uttered his disclaimer. There can be no doubt that American and' European' sympathies have been liberally played upon by a gang of self seeking, parasites of the Boer cause and that these men have done a great deal to fan the flame of hatred between the Dutch and the English races. They are mercenaries of any nationality, penniless adventurers, whose love or hatred can be purchased for a pittance and whose chief anxiety for the Boer's welfare is confined to collecting funds ostensibly on his behalf. These men have helped prolong the war and make terms harder for the Boers. Conan Doyle's volume will deal thoroughly with the question of the cencen- Jration cajrnps. To prove the absurdity "of tne'"statehvents^ma:de^in=^e"g��rd^to= them it will only be necessary to quote from the blue books already issued. These show that it was impossible in the case of the South African war to have made any different arrangements for the families of the fighting Boers than those now existing. When farmhouses are used as forts and military stores by one party, the other party is compelled to burn them down. This is being done by the Boers. In other wars it has always been customary to turn the women and children out and then burn the villages. Had England done as Germany did in her war with Prance and as she herself did on the continent during the seven years' war, the families of the unfortunate burghers must have perished on the inhospitable veldt. Instead of allowing them to do this, the British soldiers have provided the concentration camps. They have been the best substitutes for homes possible under the circumstances.. In these camps every comfort is provided that one meets in the average home. Sentimental society Englishwomen have complained because the Boer women do not have porcelain baths and other flrst class luxuries. Everything that can be done to make these people comfortable under the circumstances is done. There is no harshness, except (and very rarely then) when women. openly violate the laws of hospitality. It must be remembered that a large pro- postion of the women and children only come into camp as a last resource. They are frequently taken with the men prisoners, or finally wander in after having followed the commandoes around for months in wagons, sick and starved, In various exhausted conditions from exposure and famine. It is to these almost dying refugees that the heavy death rate of the camps is largely due. These unfortunates are promptly administered to hy s-entle hands. They are nursed ha"'* in health, if possible, and given the best food. Schooling and recreation are provided for the children. The blue books clearly show that everything is done for these refugees that care and money can accomplish. Some representatives of an English society organized to help them recently sent out a quantity of clothing and $1000 to purchase milk. They found that the people were well supplied, one month's expenditure for clothing spent in Jo- MORE CONDOR WRECKAGE Her Loss is Certain VICTORIA, February 11.���All hope for the missing sloop of war Condor, which left here December 2nd, just before the big storm which wrecked the collier Mattewan, off Cape Flattery, and which had not arrived at Honolulu at the last reports from the islands, was. abandoned with the arrival of the survey ship Egeria, from a trip along the west coast of Vancouver island this afternoon. The Egeria went as far north as the Scott islands, off the north end of Vancouver island. At Clayoquot, "on the West Coast, her officers found wreckage from the Condor which shows that she must have gone down, or was smashed to pieces by the heavy seas. This wreckage included a deck grating marked with the broad arrow of the British navy, a signal box recognized as one from a British war ship, sheathing and part of a top mast. It is hardly probable that the ship could have withstood a storm which would wash these articles from her dieck. EASTERN CANADIAN BBIEFS LONDON, February 11.���An important parliamentary paper was issued tonight giving the terms of a practical alliance between Great Britain and Japan for the preservation of China and Corea. The paper covers a dispatch sent by lord Lansdowne, the secretary of state for foreign affairs, on January 30th, to the British minister at Tokio, sir Claude MacDonald, and comprises a signed copy of the agreement. In explanation the paper says the agreement may be regarded as an outcome of the events of the past two years. Throughout the Boxer troubles, Great Britain and Japan had been in close and uninterrupted communication and actuated by similar views. "We each desire," says lord Lansdowne, "that the integrity 'and independence of the Chinese empire should be preserved, "and that there should be no disturbance of the territorial status quo, either in China or the adjoining regions."

As soon as commissioner. ��� Matz took charge of the institution he began an examination of its books. It was found.that cashier Andrews permitted F. C. Andrews to overdraw his account $014,000. Other liabilities brought Andrews' total indebtedness to'the bank up to $1,15S,000. In addition to this cashier Andrews certified to checks for F. C. Andrews, which he had deposited In banks, to the amount of $GC2,000. At the close of his examination commissioner Maltz tonight Issued the following statement of the bank's condition at the close of business February 8th: Resources���Total loans and discounts, bonds, mortgages and securities, $2,363,093; overdrafts, $913,853; real estate, $10.SS9; cash in bank, $28S,697; other assets, $18,922. ��� Liabilities���Stock, surplus, and undivided profits, $225,212; deposits, $3,370,251. The exanmlnation showed that, the record ��� of F. C. Andrews' transaction was not kept in the regular way, but In a memorandum book. The first record between cashier Andrews and F. C. Andrews is on January 11th, but the examiners estimate that they have been going on for about six weeks. President PIngre explained how the certified checks were obtained as follows: "F. C. Andrews would draw a check for the amount he wanted, and have it certl- . fied by the cashier, Henry R. Andrews. He would present this certified check to the person with whom he was doing business and ask him to hold it out for that day, as the bank was not in funds to meet it. Per- . haps he would hold it for two and three* days, jind eventually when there was "money eri"tfUBh���ln���th'e^b"ank^to-'"m'eetr?the" check he would go In and take it out. There would only be a slip of paper in the drawer and the withdrawal would be put down as a cash item. AVith this money he would In person pay the certified check and tear it up. This was done time and again." Meeting the Mob Half Way It would seem that another serpent has got Into another Eden. Wo have been looking to the Evening Sun, edited by Goldwln Smith, as the exponent of English unde- - filed. Following the example of its editor, the members of Its staff have long expressed their thoughts in literary English rather than the Garden English used by tho daily press. But in this week's issue there is an odl- torla dealing with the commission that Is Inquiring into the weighing of butter and cheese, which contained expressions which caused us to sit up and glare at the sheet In our hands. In this article the Sun refers to a deputy minister as "the oldest and coldest fossil In the parliament buildings," says that had a certain ruling held so-and- so "would have had a cinch," and that "any Smart Aleck can "xplain away the workings," etc. Mr. Gold win Smith's paper goes on to say that in "this clash" the' Dairymen's Association should be good "to back the complainants lo win," and it concludes by intimating to Dan Derbyshire and others that "lt is up against them." All we have to say is that we did not know that Mr. Gold win Smith had so much hot stuff up his sieve. Now that he has started to sling himself and write to the people in the language of the country, maybe they'll begin to cotton to him more than thoy used to. The general push 6f people are dead scared of* a professor who writes like a classic. They aro afraid he is trying to give them the hinky-dlnk.���Toronto Star.

It is up to the federal ministers to determine whether coke for provincial smelting will be cheaper if the whole of the available supply is cornered by an interest, hostile to British Columbia smelting; or whether by introducing competition it would not be possible to very materially reduce even, the present price of coke and thus give a very desired stimulace to the development of the mining sections of the province.

As has been stated before the fuel item constitutes sixty-five per cent of the total cost of smelting low grade ores of the Boundary. The profit margin upon the mining and smelting of these ores has heretofore been so small as to create considerable anxiety. In view of this, the announcement that a reduction of sixteen per cent has been effected in the cost of coke, must give renewed encouragement to those who have invested so heavily in the Boundary's development. By the recent arrangement between the Canadian Pacific Railway Company and the Crow's Nest Coal Cb1ml)^rIy;"the~former has agreed to haul coke from the ovens to Boundary smelt- ing points for ?2.50 per ton, and the latter has agreed to furnish it to the smelters at $4, making the cost to the Boundary smelters, laid down, $6.50 instead of $7.75 as formerly. With respect to the smelter fuel situation, however, it may be be said that each week's experience but emphasises the responsibility of the federal management in the matter of safeguarding the interests of British Columbia's smelters to the fullest extent, and in no other way can the same measure of protection be given to such interests than in protecting their fuel supply. This is a consideration which should not be lost sight of for a moment by the federal authorities in determining upon a line of action with respect to the disposition of the coal areas which the Dominion holds in the Crow's Nest. While few will be inclined to quarrel with the rate charged by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the moving of coke from Fernie to the Nelson, Trail and Boundary smelting points, yet it is by no means certain that, taking into consideration the increased cost of labor in the west, even the present price of coke is not capable of still further reduction. This is a matter of much more importance than appears at first sight, since the greater economies effected in smelting the greater is the mineral area available for exploitation, thus multiplying many times over the ore tonnage capable of profitable treatment. The problem, if such it could be called, which the federal authorities have to solve in connection .with the Crow's Nest coal controversy, is whether by perfecting the monopoly of the Crow's Nest Coal Company in East Kootenay it will best promote the infinitely greater interests of the mining and smelting industries of the province; or whether in the protection of such important industries they should not give . Powers Desire Britain's Influence LONDON, February 11.���Special reasons just now cause the rulers and statesmen of Europe to desire a speedy, ending of the war in South Africa. The stalking horse of intervention is no longer in evidence, but from the capitals of all the great powers indirect pressure is being brought to bear upon the Boer representatives in Holland and Belgium to avail themselves of the only terms of peace the British government will grant. The.motive is not so much a wish to help the burghers as a wish���which is especially strong in Vienna and Rome��� to free Britain's hands, so that her voice may be more potent in the councils of Europe. This view of the situation is entertained in influential quarters in London. Ever since the war began the relations of the continental powers toward one another have shown symptoms 'of increasing disturbance. The nicely adjusted equilibrium which had existed since the triple and dual alliance were instituted seems to have been lost. Signs of fresh strain in the Balkan regions have appeared on the horizon. Europe is never allowed to be without an Eastern crisis for many years at a stretch and it would appear as if the difficulty in the remoter Orient was hardly adjusted before there is a menace of trouble in a region where to two at least of the greater powers complications would be even more unwelcome. "=Rival=ambiti6n��"In=th%'"hSar^'East"=afi*r again threatening to tax the resources of diplomacy to the utmost. Despite the assurances from Vienna that Russia and Austria are agreed that, whatever happens in Servia, it shall not imperil European peace, these two powers are by no means agreed as to the best methods of carrying out their self-appointed task of guardians of the peace in the Balkans. No secret is made of the fact that their views on this point are almost diamerically opposed, and .it is a matter of common note that Austria is trying to secure Britain's support in her policy. Meanwhile the new German tariff threatens the very existence of the drei- bund, and the speech Sunday night of prince Von Eulenberg, the kaiser's friend and ambassador at Vienna, is interpreted by many good judges as all but foreshadowing the doom of that famous pact. As for "leaving Italy out in the cold" recent utterances of Italian statesmen to not indicate any burning desire to renew the alliance with the two German states. It is strongly felt at Rome that no renewal of the political convention should be tolerated which did not also confer substantial commercial advantages on all the members of the combination. Unless some compensating benefits are bestowed upon Italy, she may decline to renew the arrangement.' France, it is certain, can, if she pleases, offer to Italy commercial inducements of the most alluring character. By the bare suggestion that the drei- bund, long the dominating factor in continental politics, may he eliminated a vista of wide possibilities is opened up. It is not too much to say that there is at least a prospect that a new triple alliance on an altered footing might be constructed or a different grouping of the whole continental system be evolved. This sentiment has repeatdly found expression in German and Austro-Hun- garian official circles. It is one of the commonplace of the Italian press. It is the hope that Great Britain's voice might introduce a calming and moderating influence into these distracted councils which underlies the nervous anxiety of the continent to see an end of the Boer war. Even in the Russian journals begin to sing the, tune of Vienna and Rome. If by some means, no matter what," MORLEY & LAING B00KSELLEES AND STATI0NEES BAKER STREH.T. NELSON. B. O. Showrooms Mason & RUch Piano?. be found from the South African war, then, and then only, would things in Europe return to the paths of peace from which the events of the past two years have forced them far astray." Britain, however, will not listen to the siren songs of those who would tempt her, even when the war is out of the way, to become involved in the calculations and combinations of the continent. She replies to all such seductive appeals: "With dual or triple or quadruple leagues and alliances, whatever their component elements, we have nothing to do. We have definitely renounced all attempts to maintain the balance of power or to secure an equilibrium of forces among the great naval and military states of the continent. We have elected to stand alone as far as Europe is concerned. Isolation, with all its drawbacks, has at least one advantage. It will probably prevent us from being dragged into war over territorial ambitions or international jealousies in whicli we have no direct or immediate share. Our reliance continues to be upon the strength and unity of the peoples of the empire." ���J* -i- ���!��� -$* -$- -i- **!���*}��� *\* -h ���*����� Annual Whitewear Muslin and Lace Sale New grass linen suitings and trimmings.

PROGRAM IS SENSATIONAL them the benefit of competition in the I says the Novice Vremya, "an issue could Export IJuties on Everything The Seattle Times publishes.a sensational dispatch from its Victoria correspondent in which he makes an attempt at outlining the policy of the present Dunsmuir opposition when it succeeds to the government of the province. The Times correspondent says: It is alleged that the opposition members of the British Columbia legislature are formulating a plan to raise money to do things with. They expect to wrest power from the Dunsmuir government next month. They believe this to be a foregone conclusion. Some of them claim that black bankruptcy stares British Columbia in the face and they propose to save the province from wreck and ruin financially by levying tribunte on United States industries just oyer the line. Their plan is based on the supposition that the Pacific states must' have British Columbia coal, cedar and iron and they propose to place a tax on each of these products of British Columbia to be rebated if the raw material is used for manufacturing purposes in. British- Columbia. They claim that at present the government, by not allowing cedar to be shipped to the states from leased or license-held lands, compels loggers to cut the export timber . from, lands held by a few friends of the government who possess 44,000 acres of freehold, and from the railway belt on Vancouver island. Thus the government's friends are enriched and the government coffers depleted. ^^It=is'Wop'6s~e"d=td"allo'*w"cedar'=t6'"ibe"-,"cut from leased land aud to put a tax of $3 a thousand on such timber. This tax will be equal to the duty put on shingles going into the states from Canada, and if the duty is put up by the United States, to put up the tax to correspond. In 1902 it is estimated that 25,000,000 feet of cedar will be cut off the freehold land for shipment to the Sound, on which a stumpage tax of $1 will be paid to the owners instead of 50 cents royalty to the government as formerly. They propose to raise by this means from the mill men on Puget Sound ?75,- 000 a year. Again they claim that the Montana smelters must have Crow's Nest coal and they would put a tax on this article of 50 cents a ton, and as 2000 tons a day will leave the British Columbia coal fields for the Montana smelters, or approximately 600,000 tons a year, they would raise from the smelter people or the American owners of tihe Crow's Nest Pass fields, the neat little sum of $300,- 000 a year to do things with. In this connection they compute that if a tax of 50 cents a ton had been got for all coal mined and sold on Vancouver island enough money would have been raised to pay off the national debt. It is said that 16,000,000 ;tons have been sold to date. Iron, it is claimed, would be another source of revenue, and the Tacoma and Irondale smelters would be easy marks. They quote a statement in the press' made by a stockholder of the Pacific Steel Company, as follows: "Several years Homer H. Swaney started;,to systematically prospect, this country' with a view of ultimately establishing an iron and steel business on the coast After several years of investigating he came to the.conclusion that the accesible and valuable deposits of iron ore were those upon Texada island and Barclay Sound, British Columbia. These properties he secured partly by lease." It is proposed to place a tax of $2 a ton on this iron, to be rebated if it is used for manufacturing purposes in the country. Thus it is thought that the Pacific Steel Company will have to come over here. As it is stated for the first few years CO.000 tons a year will be exported, $120,000 will be raised from the United States on iron, making a grand total on cedar, iron and coal of half a million dollars a year. 9} 9\ to WV, 36 Baker Street *^. i<fck ���"'���k *v<v ���"��������� *^-* ���'���'���ifcL *^ ���'^.���'������"���n ���><*! ���^r*'*^. ���'<������������<�����''<<������������<. ���^ ��� 4* 4* 4* *T* *I* *I* 4 4* *I* *t** *��- -\- ��� *.* *I*V Infant's long dresses 75c up Infant's long skirts 75c up Infant's long slips 75o up Infant's long foot blankets.

A notice, written in.a bold script, and hung inside the glass, was the object of the crowd's curiosity. It read. XT THE'OPENING OF THIS BANK TODAY MR. T. FILLMORE BALLAINE'S BALANCE WAS $l(i,0S7.63. For two'weeks a similar notice, had appeared regularly on' the window of the l-.l- i.uL'j-.ay I*.ation iianlc. It began on Monday morning and the few that glanced at it learned that T. Fillmore Ballaine hud S,a2aU.U( therein. Just who T. 1< illmore Ballaine was no one seemed to know, and just, why the bank should maite public a mat- tor regarded as a business secret none could guess. 15ut each one who read it puzzled over it and looked up at the notice the next time he passed the Elliot National. On 'Tuesday the notice read $1007.01), and on Wednesday it read $1207.09 in the morning, but was replaced a;, ihe hour ��r cl��s- ing by a new notice winch read oOU.OJ. -by- Thursday the aftair was in the. l'aper.-- and the daily balance was the topic ol the. town. All day Saturdav a big crowd stood. at the window and discussed Mr. L.'illsune w balance of $(W02.0!i, and passed comments thereon. At tho hour of closing a new notice proclaimed that Mr. Ballaine had !>!���..!)!).-��� 09 therein, and some wag in the crowd, passed his hat, saying: "Let's make it even ���money." On Monday morning Mr. Bal laine was surprised to find that some one had loft a deposit of ninety-one cents to his credit and that his balance stood at an During the second week Mr. Ballaine's bank balance climbed more slow y, but every increase was hailed with delight by the crowd in front of the window, who knew neither Mr. Ballame nor the secret of his peculiar advertisement, yet who thoroughly enjoyed both. Not until AVed- nesday of the second week did not notice in the window credit Ballaine with $S000. Then a man in the crowd offered to bet a hundred that it would touch $10,000 by Saturday. For a moment the crowd thought he must bo Ballaine and guyed him unmercifully, but some one recognized him as a local sporting man and his bet was un- ���' Thursday was the 10th of the month and Mr. Ballaine evidently paid a few bills, for on Friday the balance in the window went down to $7432.87 where it hung until the close of business on Saturday. Then the clerk put up n new notice and the crowd cheered when it read the figures $10,- 007.G2. On Monday morning a portly man, ruddy of face, grizzled and grumbling, pushed in the crowd and read the notice. With a grunt of disgust he entered the bank. The cashier recognized him <.* one of his heaviest depositors, and greeted him pleasantly. '���Good morning, Mr. Penny." 'Heard about your remarkable window and took a look. Strikes me as being ridiculous. Don't see how you came to allow It, said Mr. Penny, removing his silk hat and wiping a moist brow. ���'Air. Ballaine obtained permission from the president." said tlie cashier smiling. "Did, eh? Who is this man Ballaine?" "A young lawyer. Very bright rellow, quite original in his methods. This plan was his own. lie brought influence to bear through his frieiul-* to obtain the necessary permission from the prewtdent. It has proven a. remarkable attraction to the public' "Friends, ch? Who aro they?" NELSON BRANCH, BURN8 BLOCK. A goneral banking business transacted. Savings DeparUnont,���Deposits received and interest allowed. Drafts told, available in all part of Canada, United Statos aud Kurope. Special attention given to coll ns. J. M. LAY, Manager. The cashier enumerateu some of the most prominent younger business men of the Buget Sound metropolis. "All right," interrupted the capitalist, with the air of a man who had heard displeasing news. "When the young man comes in tell him he wins." Then he left the bank. The cashier smiled, for he knew what Ballaine's "winning meant," and he reported the conversatios to the president. But the crowd outside knew nothing of this and only gaped as usual at the sign. That day it dropped to $9587.02 and remained there for ten days, when it jumped to $51,587.62, a sudden gain of $42,000. That night the evening papers proclaimed the sale of Mr. Penny's famous water front ���property."for a fabulous sum, and conveyed the interesting information: "The deal was consummated by T. Fillmore Ballaine, an attorney in the Times building, whose commission on this deal' alone i.s $12,000." ��� ��� ��� Next day many people looked up at Che big window of the Elliott Bay National Bank, but there was no trace of Mr. Ballaine's balance. .In .its accustomed place hung a sign which read: ASSAY OFFICE VALUES PAID FOR GOLD DUST AND NUGGETS. But the public had become curious and the newspapers, were worried into doubling their efforts at solving the puzzle; to no purpose, however, as Mr. Ballaine frankly told the reporters to go to blazes, and Mr. Penny was the most silent man on Puget Sound. There matters rested for a time, but when certain society people began giving pink teas and linen showers for Miss Penny, the society glri on the Times added suspicion to speculation and safely arrived at the facts. Th story as told in The Times was widely road, for therein lay both romance and solid business success. The story related the coming of Mr. Bel- iainc to Seattle, where he opened an offlce as an attorney and proceeded to get acquainted. Without, waiting for business to come to him he went about making business, and with the small capital given him by his father* on which to begin life he bought and solid, and at the same time made friends and studied men. Then he met the charming daughter of Penny, only child of Penny the pioneer, Penny the owner of docks, street car lines, of untold acres of tide-flats, of bonds, of bank stocks, of a bad temper, and a delight of a business encounter with a strong., mind. With Miss Penny the younguattbr- ���i.ey prospered; but with Mr. Penny the sign never seemed to be right. . ��� ��� In the fiuie't of his oflice the young attorney planned assaults on the father, having already won the daughter's blushing permission to do so. Pie knew that the battle must bo a commercial one, but as the weapons were all on his adversary's side, he tigured that he must capture Mr. Penny with Mr. Penny's own ammunition. ��� That took nerve, but nerve dwelt, within the Ballaine tent and prospered there. The scene between Penny and the young Ballaine, when the latter asked for Miss Penny, was one of tlie most delightful con-. fiicts of the former's business career. Mr. Penny heaped up conditions which he felt the young man would never be able to comply with, and ns Ballaine met the mone by <>no tho elder Penny warmed to the contest. He rather enjoyed being bp.sted in the preliminaries as he felt sure of the main issue. Character? The young man named the best young men in town as his associates. Family? The Ballaines were known in Vermont before Pennys were coined. Prospects? The young man had his profession, some real estate, mining stocks enough to paper a boarding house, three thousand in the bank, and a nerve that was worth 160 cents on the dollar. Out of the question? Not at all; the girl loved him and he was merely, calling on her father to arrange matters. "No young man can marry my daughter until he has $50,000 of his own in the bank.". "That's easy. "What will you take for your tide lands, Mr. Penny?" Tide lands were Mr. Penny's proud distinction. He held the bulk of the best acres in Seattle. Ballaine was striking at the very pearl of the elder man's possessions. ^No^oneJiad-ever^suf-ceedod^in^getting^him^ to put a price on them. "No joking," said the young man. "How much?" Mr. Penny's soul expanded In an ecstacy as he named a price. "I told you not to joke," said the young man severely. "I want a thirty day option on those tide lands. Name a reasonable cash price. Mr. Penny knew that the Great Northern wanted the lands but would not buy because some one who held a strip between ilie Penny acres and the road's proposed new depot, would not sell. But Penny did not know that tho young man facing him had secured an option on the much discussed strip. The option had cost him dear, but ft was the key to flic whole battlelield. So Mr. Penny, thinking to. tantalize the young man, named a reasonable cash price. ������I'll take an option at that price for ten days," said Ballaine. '���[ want $10,000 for tho option," replied Mr. Penny. "I'll give you a month to get Hint sum, and when you bring tne the cash I'll give you the option." "That's fair," said Ballaine, rising to leave the room. "Keep me posted," shouted Mr. Penny as the younger man disappeared through the door. ' ��� .... "I will,' said the retreating voice pleasantly, and then Mr. Penny heard a ringing laugh come back through the long hall. For the lover had been struck with a sudden inspiration. That week Balalne authored a dozen voting men, personal friends, leadera in the town's commercial life, at a dinner. At the proper moment he told them his plan and thev helped him win the president of the Elliot Bay National Bank lo bis aid. A telegram to St. Paul offering the Penny lands under the Ballaine option, and the heretofore unpurchasable strip with it, brought a prompt acccimtiice, and for two weeks the young man sold his property right and left to secure the required $10,- 000, while the notice in the window kept Mr. Penny, and half the town also, posted as to his surcess. lie could have borrowed that amount, but he had a larger game on foot which spurred him to win on his own p-erits. His office became crowded with men who desired to sell or buy some bit nf real properly and do it quickly. The sign in the window was an advertisement that thousands of dollars spent in the usual way could not have equalled. Men went to Ballaine to sell knowing he had the cash to buy the coveted corners for them. By- prompt buying and selling wnilainc took commissions from both sides and the balance on the window climbed. AVhen it reached the $10,000 mark Mr. Penny capitulated. The word which he left at the bank that morning brought the young man promptly to his office. The young man carried a certified check for $10,000. ���'I don't want your check," said the elder man. "I want you to tako that sign out of the bank window. "Not just vol," said Ballaine. "Not until my commission for selling your tide lands to" tho Great Northern has been added to it." "The road won't buy them, and you know it. That little slrip by the depot will block Ballaine ignored the statement.

"I'll not take your check, but I will give you all that you can make above a certain figure for those tide lands." "What's your figure?" Mr. Penny named a price much higher than the one he had named when he gave Ballaine the option. Ballaine promptly refused and demanded the option. "Do you want to ruin me?" demanded Mr. Penny in well assured alarm. "A moment ago you. declared that I could not sell. Now you are afraid I can. Your change of sentiment'is a compliment, sir," and the young man bowed. Mr. Penny, .thought it over for a moment, and then assured himself that the Great Northern wouldn't buy, even at the low price he had named, because that coveted strip was still in the way. He did not know that Ballaine had a telegram of acceptance from a railroad magnate in St. Paul, aiid he smiled as he handed Ballaine the written option. "After that option has expired," sail* Mr. Penny "you can frame it and hang it in your office. Keep your check; you will need it." Ballaine raced back to his offlce, and with his options and certain abstracts of title, went to the general western agent of the Great Northern at his office in Seattle. The; general agent, when he saw the papers in all their delightful completion, pounded on the table and called Ballaine a bully , boy. He wired to his chief in St. Paul and a reply came that set all the western division buzzing: "Bring your friend Ballaine east in your car as guest of road. He is a wonder. Offer him a position in our legal ��� department;" ��� On Ballaine's return to the coast the bank balance made the big jump which carried it up to $51,587.62. Mr. Penny was much surprised, but he signed the. deeds, .and accepted the price without a murmur. Then he invited Ballaine to go home with him to dinner. "Miss Penny's dower," said the Times in conclusion, "is said on good authority to be a quarter of a million. That means that the Ballaine bank balance will shortly take another jump.'' But the public never- again saw that balance on the window. Porto Rico Lumber Go.

Among the passengers on yesterday afternoon's train from Slocan were Miss Funk and William Lee of that city. Their mission was to get married. They are among the most popular of Slocan's citizens, so that it was impossible for them to keep their secret. The groom is the mining partner of "Billy" Harrington, a partnership that has paid'good dividends in the past and with more in prospect. Don't Like Its Name Since the Rat Portage board of trade took up the question of changing the name of Rat Portage to a name more in keeping with the importance of the town, several names have been suggested by citizens. Of course the change has its opposition, but principally among the old timers, whose opposition is very largely a matter of sentiment. Those who favor the change see many advantages to be gained by it. The name-"Rat Portage" it has been learned by experience among business men does not inspire interest, nor does its sound carry with it anything very attractive. The town is right in the route of hundreds of tourists every month, who are out for pleasure, but when "Rat Portage" meets their eyes on the time table it is passed over as a place of little or no importance. It has been the experience of dozens of business men from this town while abroad in other parts of the province and in the states to hear the name of Rat Portage sneered at by people who had merely heard the name and jumped at the conclusion that a town bearing sucb>a name could not amount to much. The name that seems to meet with most favor is "Keenora," and pretty and when understood, a name that is most expressive. The word originated some ten years ago, when a proposition was started^to'unite^Keewatinr-Norman-and^ Rat Portage. In order to settle any little difference that might exist as to the selection of a name it was happily suggested that the first three letters be taken from Keewatin, the first two from Norman and the first two from Rat Portage, and thus was formed the word Kee-no-ra. Its local application or meaning is, therefore, three towns. The name Avas not used as first intended, but was adopted some five years ago as the name for the Rainy River Navigation Company's fine steamer. The matter must be settled speedily is a bill is to be got through the present sitting of the legislature, and quite a lot of interest is being taken in the matter. McCune's Great Schemes The Peruvian government has granted to Alfred McCune and James Haggin, both Americans, permission to study for one year the plans of a concession: fjolr a railroad from Chancay, Department of Lima, or Huacho, on the bay of that name, to Cerro de Pasco, in the Department of Janin. Upon the outcome of an investigation into the feasibility of a railroad in the Department o�� Lima, Peru, concession for which the Peruvian government has just granted A. W. McCune and James Haggin, depends the 'expenditure of several million dollars of American capital in mining and railroad development :n that. South American country. A. W. McCune owns a controlling interest in the Salt Lake street railway system and is heavily interested in Utah and British Columbia mining properties. It is slated that Mr. McCune, James Haggin, and a number of New York capitalists have secured control of rich silver properties in Peru, for which over 200 years have been worked by the natives, the ore being packed out on tbe backs of men. It is the intention to build a railway from these properties to the seaboard, erect smelters and make other improvements, costing several millions. Nelson Juniors Again Defeated Last evening the Rossland juniors played a return match with the Nelson juniors at the skating rink In the presence of a large crowd of spectators. The puck was pined in position a few minutes after S o'clock, and it seemed at the outset that the local team had the advantage. About ten minutes after the game commenced the Nelson boys scored, followed about seven minutes later by a second one. Meanwhile the Rossland boys were playing heavily on the enemy's goal, but did not succeed in scoring until about ton minutes before half time. This was followed a few minutes later by another goal, which the umpire at first allowed and then declared was not a goal. This at once raised a storm of protest and the game was suspended for about ten minutes to thrash the matter out. which resulted in the goal being allowed. This left the teams two each, which remained even until half time was called. After play was resumed the game became a little more exciting, and about two minutes after the resumption of play the Nelson juniors were one ahead. The gallery became uproarious, which must have had the effect of setting the home team on the oft play, as that was all they were able to score for the rest of the game. About a second after the last goal made by the Nelson boys the visitors made a third goal. From this until the end of the game the Rossland boys scored repeatedly until the goals stood 0 to 3in their favor. The boys put up a good game all round and put up a much better combination game than some of the senior teams have been doing. Occasionally there was a tendency to roughness, but nothing serious of this nature occurred, and the boys on each team were liberally applauded. The following is the line-up of the teams: W.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-02-12 |
Description | The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune. |
