N. Ford, says: England has fairly got out of the South African slough this week, and is benefitted by the change of scene. The treaty with Japan is the flrst question which has filled the public mind to the exclusion of everything else since Kruger's ultimatum was dispatched. The effect of a fresh topic of absorbing interest has been a distinctly invigorating stimulant to national pride. It was needed after the protracted period ��� of occupation with the harassing guerilla warfare, at once diflicult and inglorious, like the American operations in the Philippines, and it has come with the stir made in the world by lord Lansdowne's treaty, and tlie consciousness that England has again assumed the responsibilities cf leadership in the far east. Singularly enough, the strongest attack upon the new diplomatic policy has come from the stronghold of sentimental optimism. The Spectator, taking counsel from its own nervousness complains that Russia has been proclaimed frankly as an enemy, and that England has been left incautiously in the unexperienced hands of the Japanese. A more practical reason has been urged by Henry Norman, <uirt the Manchester Guardian, namely that Canada and Australia, which have been legislating against the Japanese, will be embarrassed by the new alliance, but_t.his is minimized by the favorable expressions by leading colonial journals. Lord Rosebery's criticism, that the treaty ought to iiavo been made long -ago, has even greater weight, for it is not clear whether the barn door has not been bolted after the Russian nag has broken tlie halter and found secure pasturage in Manchuria. Lord Salisbury's judgment, in taking lord Lansdowne up stairs after the failure of the war ollice. lias been fully vindicated. The treaty with Japan is a great stroke, and destined to make lord Lansdowne famous, and also to revive lord Salisbury's interest iu public affairs and keep him in office. It also marks a great advance in what may be described as the world processes for creating diplomatic trusts in the interests of commerce. The Manchester school began half a century ago with the theory of non-intervention in foreign affairs, and ended with the laisses- faire policy of trading everywhere with the least possible interference, and with absolute free play of competitive forces. This treaty is proof that the freedom of. commerce cannot be secured hy irresponsible trading, and that powerful governments must guarantee and "safeguard the principle of the open door in the interest of the collective commerce of the maritime world. It -is^aninternational-coinbination-or-trust,, with England and Japan as the managing directors, and the United States and Germany as silent partners. The departure of prince Henry for America has been too well advertised by the foreign offices at Berlin and London. Everybody in touch with official diplomatic life here is amazed by the indiscretion involved in the publication of the documents and details, ordinarily kept under seal. Veterans in the civil service, trained in the art of holding their tongues, do not conceal their disgust over tlie chatter about the Washington conference a week before the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, and the stark naked candor with winch everybody concerned blurts out matters which ought to have been regarded as state secrets. The synical comment is made that trained European diplomatists are out rivalling the processes of yellow journalism, and that all the conventions and properties have been violated for the purpose of convincing Americans that in the crisis of Spanish- American affairs Germany was less hostile and England less friendly than either, has been represented by self interested partisans. The controversy is regarded hy old hands as discreditable alike to both diplomatic services, and a dubious compliment to the intelligence of the Americans who knew well enough the trend of foreign affairs at the period They also intimate that the Americans themselves can hardly hope to escape being stung when the wasps nest has been stirred up, and wonder how president McKinley's memory will be vindicated from the undeserved reproach of deceiving congress, and making an unjust war when Spain was prepared to "���rant every concession. It is manifestly unfortunate that, the graceful compliment paid to Americans by the German emperor in sending prince Henry on a mission of good will should have been marred hy the unseemly strife between British and German officials and tne press to prove that "Codlins the friend not Short" when the three nations ought to have full employment in so-operating on? with another along the lines oi such conventions as the Anglo-Japanese agreement for defence of the world s commerce. The debate in the commons on amended procedure has already become ted- iou*" There is indifference outside of the house respecting the new method of ministering to the comfort and social arrangements of the members and no real enthusiasm among government supporters. Sir John Kennaway Sterling, who often plays the part of the candid friend with great effect, has denounced the demand for an apology after punishment as revolting to the British sense of justice. This was more effective than Mr. Redmond's forcible warning against reprisals directed against the Irish. It is not unlikely that several compromises like Mr. Wanklyn's amendment, respecting the question, will be adopted. The admiralty programme is the only important disclosure of government apart from the treaty with Japan. This is scarcely larger than that of Germany for the current year and fails to satisfy the belligerent imperialists, who point to the greatly increased araments of Russia and France. It is, however, costly enough for the unhappy chancellor of the exchequer, with the war chest needing to be replenished, and with the mortality among millionaires exceptionally low. Lord Rosebery's speech at Liverpool continues to bear evidence that, so far as the Liberal reunion is concerned, his thoughts are still attuned to the hymn "Lead, Kindly Light." His oratory is chiefly remarkable for caution and adroitness, except on the Irish question, on which he is emphatic and outspoken. He makes it plain that he will not. attempt to lead or rally the party unless it cuts loose from Gladsone's home-rule policy, and appeals for the support of the country without and embarrassing alliance with Kruger's national champions and allies. This is what he described as the process of cleaning the slate. The only fresh problem for the new slate is temperance, and his figures are set down faintly. Possibly it is a concession to sir William Vernon Harcourt to mention temperance even vaguely. Lord Rosebery does not yet succeed in conciliating the Radicals, but he is obviously coming on. The main fact is that he is deliberately courting support and knows his own mind. This means much when there is no other leader in sight. The weather has remained unusually cold and bracing. There is a steady increase of private entertainments, and the fashionable restaurants are very gay after the close of the theatres. Invitations to the next court will prob- ablv be restricted to the officials and diplomatic sets, and not likely there will be another one before Easter. Preparations for the coronation go on ouietly. Arrangements for tne pageant exceed anything ever known in Europe before. While the lines of the Victorian ceremonial will be followed, picturesque features will be added, and the costumes will be more varied and brilliant. Indian rajahs will appear with splendor of colors, and there will be a great company of European princes. The number of guests of the crown from the colonies, courts, and friendly powers will exceed the splendid array witnessed at the jubilee. No-thing is done to cheapen., the ceremonial, and everything points to an unexampled imperial fete. The army estimates disclose a reduction of 40,000 men on the pay roll in South Africa, and a material reduction in the general cost of service. This is an official indication that the Boer operations are regarded as well nigh at an end. Details of the loss of colonel Crabbe's convey disclose a larger Boer success than the earlier dispatches admitted. Dewet's force, originally estimated at 2000, has been reduced by later dispatches to one quarter of that number and figures given for the remaining burghers in the -Orange Free State are equally elastic. General Kichener is concentrating his efforts upon the capture of this force, with Dewet and Steyn as the shortest and most effective method of ending the war. Bishop Hartzell, according to the latest advices from the Gape, has heen preaching with great force to Dutch and English congregations in Cape Colony on the moral aspects of war, taking the British side with almost passlonated earnestness, and appealing to the Boers themselves, after their resistance, to be brave and acknowledge defeat and desist from warfare, which could not be justified on the grounds of expediency or necessity. The Anglican bishop also boldly predicted the reunion of the warring races in South Africa, as speedily as the north and south had been drawn together after the civil war. Lord Rosebery's fine speech.at Liverpool is regarded hy his own partisans as the closest approach he has yet made to committing himself to the resumption of the Liberal leadership. The Radicals enjoy his vigorous condemnation of the inaptitude of the government and his repudiation of the Chamberlain proclamation, of last September, but do not profess to understand how the Liberal party can be brought abreast with the times merely by the throwing overboard all the principles and politics with which it has recently been identified. Champion Heavyweight NEW YORK, February 15.���It required the utmost strength of twelve men to carry to the grave the casket containing the remains of Dennis Leahy, whose funeral has just been held. The dead man weighed 700 pounds. His enormous weight had been acquired within the past ten years. When he turned the 500 pound mark two years ago, a physician pronounced his increase in size due to fatty degeneration of the heart, and told Leahy his death was only a question of time. Firemen Rescue Bodies CHICAGO, February 15.���The firemen who groped their way through fire and smoke and dragged six dead bodies into the street from the Bennet hospital at Ada and Fulton streets late last night, carried on their heroic labor in the belief that they were rescuing persons who had been asphxiated and not until the flames had been subdued did they learn that they had been in the dissecting room of the Bennet Medical college and that the rescued bodies were from the dissecting table of the Bennet Medical school. Several of the cadavers Were,; clothed, having been brought to the school in that condition. One cadaver was incinerated. The dissecting room and laboratory of the college were destroyed involving a loss of $5000. A score of patients in the hospital were badly frightened, but. none were injured. The firemen had 'supposed that the building was used exclusively as a hospital. EUROPE MUCH WORKED UP STILL GUESSING GOVERNMENT SAT DOWN UPON EDITORS THEY WERE ALL FAVORABLE TO SPAIN UNTIL THEY WERE GIVEN THE KEY Significance of Henryls Visit LONDON, February IC���Prince Henry's visit to the United States claims a larger share oC public Interest in Europe than any other approaching event. The reiterated protests that it does not bear any political significance serve simply to confirm the opposite conviction in the European mind. Everybody is finite willing to accept the repeated declarations that prince Henry has not been instructed on any diplomatic mission save to the American people at large. The mission, the success of which Is practically assured, has in the European belief greater political importance than any event since the consummation of the Franco-Russian alliance. It is not what prince Henry does that European chancelleries will watch with keener interest than any other development in international relation ship now pending, but what the Am- oiican people will do. Not to put too fine a point on it, Europe is anxiously waiting to learn what e'ffect German blandishments will have upon the hearts and minds of the nation where every man is his own secretary of state. It was first marvelled at, but is now generally understood to the old world that prince Henry's purpose might have been gained if he had not visited Washington and had not met a single member of the executive government. More than ono foreign minister wishes he had been the one to discover this fact before the kaiser. They have been taking belated advantage of this knowledge in thoir efforts to convince the American people of the good will of their respective countries during the Spanish war. it is only the diplomatic rule which requires, the consent of all concerned to the publication of international communications which protects certain of those Who have been protesting too much from exposure in a very embarrassing light. There Is a wholesome disappointment among some continental statesmen who realize now that it is worse than useless to attempt to hoodwink American public opinion in this matter. There has been some apprehension in England lest prince Henry's visit should prove detrimental to Anglo-American relations. This has largely disappeared, the only remaining effect being perhaps a slight augmentation of anti-German feeling in this country which is now deep, Ineradicable, and certain to bear fruit in future hlstorv. It finds such expression as a long article in the Spectator urging an Anglo-French understanding and arguing that it is imoossib'.e to ever remove the antagonism of interest between Great Britain and Germany. Russia is silent. Russia is always silent, I'-Nt there is no less interest in St. Petersburg than in other capitals in prince 1-len- rv's visit. There is reason to believe that some regrets are felt in certain quarters in the Russian capilal over the drastic course pursued In retaliation against American action on the sugar bounty. It is bv no means impossible that when this riuestion arises again, as it must presently, that a more conciliatory attitude will be adopted by the czar's representatives. Russia rarelv makes a diplomatic mistake, and her statesmen aro quite clever enough to correct one. Yerkes on the Sick List LONDON, February 15. ��� Charles Yerkes, who has heen reported to be seriously ill, has been confined to his room as the result, of a chill, but he has transacted business daily, and is improving. Mr. Yerkes expects to be out on February 17th. ������ ������Jeffries and- Fitzsimmons������ NEW YORK, February 15.���Robert Fitzsimmons and James Jeffries signed articles here today to meet in a 20-round glove contest on some date between May 10th and 20th, for the championship of the world, the winner to receive 60 per cent and the loser 40 per cent of the purse.

Spain's Friendship Treaty MADRID, February 17.���The queen regent will sign a treaty of friendship with the United States tomorrow. Fatalities in Naples NAPLES, February 16.���It is reported that eight persons were killed today by the collapse of two mansions. Committed for Trial TORONTO, February 15.���Bertha Gen, charged with murdering an infant, has been committed for trial. Legislature to Meet ST. JOHNS, February 15.���New Brunswick legislature has been called to meet on March tith. LONDON, February 15.���The dispute regarding the attitude of the powers towards the United States prior to the Spanish-American war continues, to take up columns of the London daily papers. As pointed out by the Associated Press, when the under secretary, lord Cranborne, made his first statement, official opinion is much divided as to the advisability of that step. Since the later developments, the opposition to further disclosures by the British government has been strengthened into a determined resolve not to disclose the secret documents relating to the negotiations of that period. Lord Cranborne's statement of Friday, which was the result of cable dispatches exchanged between lord Pauncefote and the foreign office, is probably the last word Great Britain will have to say on the subject. It would be impossible, however, to overrate the irritation expressed in Downing street at the German publication of the documents relating to the incident, though implicit belief is expressed that American public opinion is not likely to be influenced thereby. Privately the foreign office officials declare that lord Cranborne's two replies, especially his answer to the first note, effectually established Great Britain's attitude, even if lord Pauncefote is charged with secretly combining against the United States, which is indignantly declared to be an utterly absurd and false suggestion. Aniong the American residents in London during the1 month of May, 1898, it is recalled, however, that an intense pro-Spanish feeling existed on many sides, especially in society where women, connected with government officials, appeared wearing Spanish colors. In this and many other ways London became none too comfortable a dwelling place for Americans, for the press teemed with anti-American editorials. Cessation of the latter was due to a remarkable occurrence which the Associated Press is able to announce for the first time. After Dewey's victory and when the English women were not so gaily_displaying Spanish rosettes, lord Salisbury took the almost unprecedented step of communicating with the editors of the leading Consevative dailies, urging them to desist from irritating the United States, pointing out how vital it was to Great Britain's interest that the side of the United States and not that of Spain should be advocated In the English press. As a result public opinion was reversed and the government was thoroughly, supported in its subsequent undoubtedly genuine efforts to strain its neutrality to the point of helping the United States. Prince Henry En Route KIEL, February 15.���Prince Henry of Prussia^started^for"Bremen-at^8:30 this morning to begin his voyage to the States. BREMORHAVEN, February 15. ��� Prince Henry sailed for New York at 3:30 p. m. Previous to sailing in conversation with a correspondent of the Associated Press he referred to the report that he had written a letter to admiral Dewey apologizing for the eon- duct of the German squadron in Manila bay during the war with Spain. "It is all untrue," said the prince, "I have never written a letter to admiral Dewey in my life." The prince could be seen from the shore when he stood on the bridge of the Kron Pinz, in an admiral's uniform, and lifted his cap in response to the cheers of the assembled crowd. Commander Beehler, of the United States, navy, the United States naval attache at Berlin, bid the prince bood bye for the United States embassy. SOUTHAMPTON, February 16.���The Kron Prinz Wilhelm arrived here this morning. Prince Henry's voyage to England was uneventful. In conversation today he expressed great pleasure at visiting the United States and added: "Why the last man I shook hands with on German ground was an American, the Berlin representative of the Associated Press." The Kron Prinz Wilhelm sailed for Cherbourg at 3 p.m. Boer Emissary to America BRUSSELS, February 15.���It is said that the desire to keep the departure of Dr. Mueller, the former consul in the Orange Free State, in Holland, for the United States secret was so keen that the Boer emissary booked his passage under an assumed name. According to information from a responsible Boers quarter Mr. Kruger's letter to president Roosevelt, of which Dr. Mueller is the bearer, does not appeal for intervention, but expresses regret that he is unable at present to personally congratulate president Roosevelt on his accession to ofiice and concludes with a gratified allusion to the numerous invitations to visit the great republic which- have arrived and are still arriving. Besides re-organizing the Boer propaganda in the United States, Dr. Mueller will direct, his efforts principally to obtaining government prohibition of the exportation of articles regarded by the Boers as contraband of war, thus indirectly eliciting an opinion on the war from the United States government. THE HAGUE, February 15. ���The members of the Boer delegation have left The Hague and have not announced their destination. It is rumored that they have started for the United States. Two Trainmen Killed CONELSVILLE, Pennsylvania, February 16.���Two were killed in a collision of two freights on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie railway near here last night.' EARLY MINING IN EGYPT Some Recent Discoveries To the people of the western world, Egypt is famous chiefly for mummies, obelisks, crocodiles and deserts. That the land of the Sphinxes was ever in much repute as a centre of mineral wealth will be news to most folks outside the charmed circle of the archael- ogists. The fact is, however, if we accept the statements of those who ought to know, that there was once a time, aeons ago, as Mr. Kipling would say, when mining was an important industry in Egypt. Of gold mines it is known that there were many, and there are very good reasons for believing that deposits of coal were found and coal miners were at work in Egypt in the early morning of the world's history. Of the coal mines not much has yet been learned, but. it is known that the gold mines were rich enough to produce all the gold which Egypt could use, with enough over to supply all the rival kingdoms of western Asia. The facts about the mineral wealth of the land of the Nile have been only recently made known through the publication of the reports of the engineers sent out by companies of British capitalists to explore the ruins of the ancient mines and to prospect for new veins of gold. Of course, the archaeologists have known of the riuns of the mines for some time, but their knowledge, for some reason, or other, was never very widely diffused, and it was left for the practical, interested-only-in-the-present prospector to spread ine news. From these reports it is quite possible to conclude that before long there may be a rush to the gold fields of Egypt, as there was to those of California and Colorado and South Africa. To be sure, no striking specimens of pay ore have yet been found, but the reports of the engineers have been encouraging enough to lead the capitalists who sent them out from London to direct that the work be continued. Among the corporations organized for the purpose of finding out something about the gold deposits in Egypt is the Victoria Investment Corporation, of London. This company was organized for the purpose, not only of locating new mines, but also of searching out and reporting on what was left of mines that may have been yielding pay ore in the times of the Pharaohs and the Ptolemies. The first expedition sent out by the company in 1900 was in charge of Charles A. Alford, said to be one of the best- known mining engineers in England. The story of the discoveries made by Mr. Alford and his associates were told by him not long ago in a paper read before the Institue of Mining and Metallurgy of London. At the request of the Engineering and Mining Journal, Mr. Alford made an abstract of the paoer and this was published in the journal a fe^llayiTago- AmdngOther-things Mr. Alford says: "Professor A. H. Sayce, the well- known Egypttologist, is of the opinion that the eastern desert, between the Nile and the Red sea, supplied gold, not only to Egypt, but to Assyria, Babylon, Persia and the other countries of western Asia. The ancient records, as now interpreted, indicate that mining was carried on as early as 2500 B. C, and there was still some mining done as late as the time of the Ptolemies. ***** ��� "To the eastward of the belt of cultivation along the Nile is a sandy waste, part of which can be seen from the river, but this in no way represents the whole country between the Nile and the Red sea At Kcneh, in latitude 26 degress north, the sandy zone, which forms the true desert, is but twenty miles wide, while in the latitude of Assouan is it fully 150. ' , ��� .! ��� "To the east of this, and bordering the coast of the Red sea, is a chain of lofty and rugged mountains, fifty miles wide, several of whose peaks attain an altitude of 8000 above the sea, and the general altitude of the divide of the watersheds is from 1500 to 2000 feet. It is this belt of country that forms the mining district. , . , .. "The crystalline rocks, which constitute the mountain districts to the east, are of the oldest geological series met with in Egypt. The larger mountain masses are usually formed of a horn- blendic granite, with pink orthoclase, which gives the whole a strikingly red appearance when seen from a distance. "Surrounding these, in the lower ranges, and covering very extensive areas, is a rather fine-grained gray granite passing in places into gneiss, and that into mica schist, traversed by dikes and intrusions of greenstone, fel- site, porphyry, and a very fine-grained white, elvan fr-*-**^. It is in these rocks that most of U12 auriferous quartz veins were found to occur, and the more the granite was cut the more frequent and more promising the quartz veins appeared to be." Right here Mr. Alford disgresses for a moment to speak briefly of the coal deposits. He makes the definite and positive statement that deposits of coal have been found in Egypt and spurs the imagination with the suggestion that since gold and coal have been found it may not be shooting wide of the mark to suggest that something even more valuable than gold or coal may be found in the country's bowels. Diamonds have been found in South Africa. Almost everything, from buried temples to mummies, have been found in Egypt and who knows but diamonds also, may be found in that end of Africa? Barns' $10,000 Handicap SAN FRANCISCO, February 15���The- $10,- 000 Burns handicap at a mile and a quarter will be decided at Oakland thfs afternoon. From the present outlook twelve horses will face the barrier. Taking into consideration the weight, class recent trials 'and form of the horses, it looks as if Nones, Articulate and Scotch Plaid are the horses most worthy of consideration. Black Diderot appears to hold the balance of the field safe because of his ground work, his good consistent racing in the east and his courage. Nones will probably make the Ryan entry, consisting if himself and Obia favorites. Nones will be ridden by " Nash Turner who came to the coast especially for this race. Many of the best known jockeys in America will be represented in the event. The rest of the field comprises Greyfleld (coupled with Articulate), Corrigan, the Fretter, Fragible, Horton and Eomic. BRITISH TRAPPED GREEN TROOPS DRAWN INTO AMBUSH BREAKS WITH THE IRISH Rosebery's Sensational Speech LIVERPOOL, February 15.���Lord Rosebery received a great ovation at the Liberal demonstration held here last evening. His lengthy speech, the principal oiie of the evening, was attentively received and heartily applauded. He failed to throw any light on the war policy, but he strongly emphasized his hostility to the Irish party and his desire to utterly alienate it from the Liberal camp. During his remarks lord Ros<4bry said that the greatest change .in heart and head undergone during his five years absence from public life was in regard to the Irish uroblem. Mr. Gladstone's bills were dead and burled, though tho statement cast no reflection on the great statesman who had originated them. The members of the Irish pary had indignantly repudiated any connection with the Liberal party, and he believed they had acted wisely. It was both to their interests and to the Interests o�� the Liberal party. The Irish leaders had played their full hand. They had demanded an independent parliament in Dublin, and he thereupon cried "Halt." This remark was greeted with applause. Continuing lord Rosebery said: "I am not prepared at any time or under any circumstances to grant them such a parliament. No sane person would ever consent to handing over the destinies of Ireland, situated in the very heart of the empire, to a parliament controlled by those who have expressed the earnest wish that we might be overthrown In battle. The Irish question is too large for any one party. It will need the energy and patriotism of both parties to deal with it. These are my personal sentiments, but I wish to make them perfectly clear on returning to public life." Regarding the war, lord Rosebery said that he thought the reply of lord Lansdowne, the under secretary for foreign affairs, to Dr. Kuyper, was fitting and dig- nilled, but he thought the government had acted wrongly ln declining to reckon with the Boer delegates in Europe und allow them to send a delegation to South Africa. THEY SUFFERED HEAVY LOSS BEFORE THEY COULD MAKE THEIR WAY OUT Rich Strike on Ruby Group GREENWOOD, February 1C���[Special to The Tribune.]Information received here is that ore has been struck in the upper tunnel of the Ruby mineral claim near Boundary Falls. The Ruby group Is under bond by F. W. Hayes, president of the First National Bank of Detroit, Michigan, and associates. Two tunnels are being driven, for the purpose of reaching In the upper cut at depth, the hcute of high grade copper- gold ore op.ened near the surface. This object appears to have been achieved In the other tunnel which is being driven at a vertical depth of 150 feet below the upper one. The recent strike has much improved the prospects of the Ruby group, which Is , believed-to-be-the^only. mining-property _in= the district ln which Michigan men are Interested. O. E. Williams of Boston Is here visiting the Montana & Boston Copper Company's property, the Sunset mine. It is stated he Is considerably Interested In this property. .

A single Boer broke away from the house and the British started to pursue him. The Boer climbed a kopje, the British following. Immediately a heavy fire was opened upon the British on three sides. The British found themselves in a trap and in a position where they were unable to make defense. Eight British officers made a gallant effort and defended the right with carbines and revolvers until they, were overpowered. The British had two officers and ten men killed, several officers and forty men wounded before the force was able to fall back under cover of a-block house. LONDON,.

DURBAN, February IC���Mrs. Dewet, in an interview said that two of her sons were fighting with their father. She regretted that the government had not per- mited her to communicate with her husband, and said she was certain he would never surrender. Mrs. Dewet declared that she would rather see her husband die than submit. . Locomotive Went WronR LITCHFIELD, Illinois, February 16. ���Two killed and five were injured today in a rear end collision between the Diamond special of the Illinois Central road and a freight train, near here. The collision was remarkable in view of the fact that the passenger was ahead of the freight, and moving at a rate of 12 miles an hour, when the freight ran into the rear sleeper. Some troble with the locomotive mechanism of the passenger train was delaying her. Vicount Hinton Disinherited LONDON, February 15.���Lord ��� chief justice, baron Alverstone, refused today to re-open the case of Poulett vs Pulett, in which viscount Hinton sought to oust his step brother, the youthful earl of Poulett from the family estates.

The Sandon Paystreak, in commenting upon the action of the recent Liberal convention with respect to the establishment of a government refinery, modesty directs attention to the circumstance that it was the flrst newspaper in British Columbia to advance the theory of a government refinery, as a means of relief for the depression existing in the mining sections of the province in consequence of the hostility of the United States smelter trust. From these premises Sandon's enterprising journal proceeds to argue that the government at Ottawa made a mistake in the offering of its refinery bonus. It is doubtful it even those who are in accord with the ^Paystreak's government refinery scheme will agree to this proposition. At the time that the big delegation went from the mining centres of the province, to urge the granting of the refinery bonus, there were no two opinions but that the mining industry would be greatly stimulated by the operation of a Canadian refinery. It was a case of a refinery i-*SJ��ing to promote the lEfibia's chief in- . chance tion, should convince almost anyone that even in conjunction with the altogether exceptional facilities of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company in carrying the venture through to a successful issue, and with the government bonus thrown in, the conditions in British Columbia are not any too alluring lor the operation of a refinlngplant. It will probably be conceded that neither the provincial nor the federal government, nor any private corporation, could turn so much "to account by the successful operation of a refinery in Canada as could the Canadian Pacific Railway Company through the resultant business it would bring to its railway system. Yet the launching of the refinery project has presented no inconsiderable difficulties to the officials of the Canadian Pacific, and such being the case is it not fair to make the deduction that, had not the arrangement been made with the railway company, the coming of British Columbia's refinery would have been delayed for two or even three years longer? So far as British Columbia was concerned recent developments have shown, not that it was the case of a government refinery or one operated by a private corporation, but of a refinery operated by a private corporation or none at all.

GREAT BRiTAI.-fsl.EW FLAG The consideration of the' recommendations of the finance committee will doubtless constitute the chief business to .come before the city council at its meeting this evening, and it is altogether likely that the tax rate, fpr the year will be agreed upon. In speaking of this a member of the finance committee remarked on Saturday that the indications were for a rate of 23 1-2 mills upon lands. He explained that the present bonded indebtedness for the city required 17 1-2 mills of this, and the remaining 6 mills would be required for school purposes. This rate will be a material increase over that of the previous year, but it is low in comparison withother pjaces^when^UJs,remember ed that in Nelson improvements are practically exempt, the tax rate upon them being but 2 1-2 mills upon 50 per cent of their assessed value.. It is understood that the members of the finance committee were averse to any increase in the tax rate upon improvements, but it will be open to the council to make a departure in this respect, and spread the increased rate over improvements as well as lands, It will be noticed that there is a difference of 4 1-2 mills between the rate on lands f-Jntlmated now, and the probable rate .ed some weeks ago. Just how _o accounted for will probably >wn at the council meeting Whether it is due to the enchment, which it is as decided upon, or lilt of the rumored e committee to [of a new issue be seen. Of spoken of, a explains that 'ended some- current ac- waterworks The idea of re committee properly be d if the pro- ���atepayers, the is to be paid Colonies Receive Recognition The design for an ensign which shall adequately represent Great Britain both at home and beyond the seas seems assured. The king has received with--favor the suggestion that a new (lag was needed to keep pace with the growing empire, and a finished design for the same will be submitted to his majesty next week. C. D. Bennet, the cousin of the distinguished colonial governor was entrusted with the responsibility of preparing the design. He has succeeded in giving colonial possessions full representation, without sacrificing the chief feature of the old flag���the cross of St. George��� which is in itself a familiar emblem of England's power in every quarter of the ���rlobe. The following is a description of the new empire flag, given officially: On an absolutely white ground is embroidered a golden sun, typical of a race on whose domains the sun never sets, shining on a large red cross of St. George, representing, of course, the empire at home. In the left hand corner is an imperial crown, the' sign of one great empire embracing all creeds, tolerating all beliefs, but under one great imperial idea. Underneath the crown, on a blue scroll, is inscribed the Latin rendering of the motto: '"The empire on which the sun never sets," which is the proudest boast of every Englishman: "Imperium oul nullus Solis occasus." In the right hand top corner of the flag will be placed the particular device representative of the empire beyond the sea. For instance, the flag to be used in India will contain the Star of India in the right hand top corner. The flag as used in Australia will contain instead the device of the new commonwealth, while the " Canadian and other colonial governments will add to the design their own badge, for use on all "empire flags" in their particular part of the world. The design has been warmly commended by several persons high in authority to whom it has been exhibited. It now remains for his majesty to place the final seal of approval. ��� Mr. Bennett has notified the king that the design awaits his majesty's pleasure, and it will probably be exhibited to him next week. Should it be approved by his majesty, the new design will become "official" without delay. To the king himself is due the idea. His majesty has realized that the present national emblem does not fully express the dignity and importance of the empire. When the prince and princess of Wales started on their tour, nearly a year ago, they were especially instructed to carefully note every shade of colonial opinion on the subject, whether a new flag was desired and what each colony expected. Everywhere the answer was the iSjune^T^Give u^j^ej^f^^' TWhen the popular verdict was repm*"t��rn;o^the* ,king, his majesty at once signalled a desire to have a proper design prepared. After weeks of toil the design is ready, which many people believe will eventually be flying at the mastheads of our warships and over British possessions at home and abroad.

May Eclipse the Klondyke SUPERIOR, Wisconsin, February 15. ���If reports of the gold discoveries in the Sturgeon Lake district, north ol the Canadian Pacific railway, have not been exaggerated, that section of the .Dominion is going to surpass the Klondike and the goldfiiclds of the African Rand. Explorers, prospectors, miners and mining experts who have been in the new district, which is not far from Port Arthur,1'report that it is the richest yet discovered in western Ontario. The district was first discovered two years ago by Pete King, an advenurous and well-known explorer of that locality. Samples of gold quartz from his discoveries were practically one-fourth ���rold. These, specimens were enough to set the tide of prospectors toward that locality, and several hundred have gone into that country, some of them, according to the reports, meeting with success. Several mining companies operating in western Ontario also sent agents into the field, and the discoveries of the latter have been rich enough to warrant the companies abandoning their working in the western Ontario region to the Sturgeon Lake district. The discoveries of two years ago, while rich enough to satisfy the most avaricious, have been thrown into the shade by discoveries made last fall, the particulars of which are just becoming known. This confirmation of the rumors of two years ago has been sufficient to start a stampede to the field, and there is a rush on now to see who can get there first and pre-empt a slice of the gold-bearing soil. Up to this time the most important developments have been made on what is known as the Steele property, owned by a company of Saginaw lumbermen. The ore body of this mine is said to be ���^���^���SS'iisli^^ ^&^'^^^S^S^2 -?.-?��� -*-0*'t-*''I*?-**--?������*-00*'.00.00.ps*.00. fi&.ta*.

The vein or reef has been opened up by cross-cuts on the surface, some of them over 200 feet in length, and so rich in ore that by throwing a bucket of water on the vein anywhere in the cut the gold can be seen in the rocks for several feet around. It is estimated that several million dollars worth of gold quartz is now exposed and ready for the stamp mill. The Saginaw people have purchased other claims said to be even richer than the Steele mine. A Wisconsin company has opened the rich vein discovered by Pete King, and is now taking in a stamp mill. This company is also negotiating for two locations on a remarkably rich vein discovered last fall. The vein is an immense reef, seventy-five to eighty feet. in width, extending through a belt of porphyry for an indefinite distance. Along the foot wall of this vein there is said to be a pay streak four feet in width, two feet of which will run very high. An English company is opening up some claims in the northeast bay of the lake, and the ore from the vein is so rich that, the management cannot estimate the average values. Dazzling specimens of gold quartz are exhibited. Near the English company's claim is a location where two prospectors put into use an improvised stain]) mill, consisting of a chain attached to a sapling at one end and a stone at the other, using a flat rock as a mortar bed. The ore from this vein is of such . richness that the prospectors in a few days were able with this crude device to obtain a large amount of gold. For several months rumors have been afloat that rich placer fields have been found in the Sturgeon Lake country, but little credit was given to the reports. It now turns out, however, that the reports were well founded. The full extent of the gold-baring reefs of the =Sturgeon-"Lake^country-"there-iis^seem-= ingly no doubt that a large portion of the exposed surface of these reefs has .decomposed, leaving the accumulated .gold lying on the surface ready for placer mining. Sturgeon lake is about fifty miles north of the Canadian Pacific railway and is now reached by stage from Ignace station, but the Ontario government has surveyed a wagon road from Bonheur, which touches the road at a distance of forty-three miles from the railroad. With the development of this district (he Canadian aPcific railway will build a branch line to the lake. The lake it- pelf is about fifty miles in length and has been little explored. The country is covered with a dense growth of brush and trees, the surface is covered by large areas of glacial drift, and exploration is carried on under difficulties. These conditions encourage the belief that the discoveries yet to come will exceed in value and extent all heretofore made. Testing the Coinage PHILADELPHIA, February 16.���The annual tests of tlie coinage have been commenced at tlie mint by the assay commissioner. Specimens of all the different shipments ol* coins were examined, one in every thousand in the ease of gold coins, and one in every two thousand in the case of silver coins, having been reserved for that purpose. The tolerance, or limit of divergency, allowed by law is one and a halt' grain for silver and halt' a grain for gold. Jt is the important duty of the commissioner to see that these limits have nol been exceeded. The members of the commission first examined the scales which were to.be used by them for weighing; the coins. The standard weight used is the troy pound of 57U0 grains, tlie government being in possession ol* a duplicate made in London in 1^11. The duplicate ris kept with greaI, formality in the dual "charge of the director of mints and superintendent of tho Philadelphia mint. Each oilicial has a key to one of the two locks of the box, making it impossible to open it unless both act in conjunction.^Inside of this box is still another containing a third, in which the standard pound is securely screwed. After the commission has ascertained that its means for weighing were in first class order the work of testing the gold coins began and continued throughout the clay. Samples from the output of. the. Philadelphia, San Francisco, and New Orleans mints were taken from carefully sealed envelopes and weighed. Tomorrow the committee on assaying will test the fineness of the gold. It is expected that the tests will continue until Saturday. As a going concern the business carried on by the EXPRESS CIGAR COMPANY, under the management of the late A. B. Gray.

The Manchurian problem is very harrassing to the Japanese government and people. Their ideas regarding far eastern politics have crystalized perceptibly during the last twelve months. The present program of count Lamsdorf is unendurable to the mikado and his advisers. When Germany seized Kalo Chao and Russia took Port Arthur, the Immediate storm and stress of those events obscured some of their ultimate bearings. Finally Japan began to see if a Japanese foothold on continental Asia constituted an intolerable menace to Chinese integrity���;,.* was the creed of Russia and Germany���then the establishment of these powers on the same continent a few years later must constitute an equal menace, according to Japan's creed. This conviction Is brought home with renewed improssivoness now that the permanent absorption ol* Manchuria into tho Russian empire seems imminent. Russia's persistence about a convention with China is regarded by Ihe .lupaneso as evident that she is seeking some advice to elude the engagements by which she has found herself in the eyes of the world. They think Nicholas wns quite sincere when he promised tn evacuate Manchuria .���is soon as peace and good order was restored. Cut they believe that the business pf Russian statesmen now is to interpose something plausible between the czar and the fulfillment ot that, promise. Upon this basis do the Japanese account for the present tactics of Paul I.essar, the Russian minister at Pekin. In London foreign office circles much the same view is taken. Russia, it is pointed out, has no practical need of any convention with the Chinese government as to the Manchurian provinces. She is in possession and whatever modus Vivendi she chooses to elaborate, there, is no one to challenge it. No doubt her shrewdest course would be to act on the points of the law were it not for the promises she has made. As things stand she must find some way of nullifying her assurances to tlie world that she would evacuate Manchuria���assurances practicaily given to the United States. Apparently the best means, as St. Petersburg sees the situation, would be a RusKo-Chinese convention removing tho whole subject into a different sphere. it is unsupportablo to Japan that she should have been forced out of Manchuria hy Russia, Germany and France merely to make room for Russian aggression there. The spectacle has raised her Indignation to a dangerous point, and n display of her real sentiments may be looked for a.s soon as circumstances favor it. Mr. Lessar's assertion that there is no connection between tlio Manchuria, agreement and the Russio-Chinesc bank agreement is received here with a smile of incredulity. The disclaimer is pure Muscovite. London papers point out that when an attempt was made some months ago tn establish a branch of the bank in Berlin, .the Russian and German press referred to the Institutions as practically a department of the Russian government.* Under tlie terms of the bank agreement China is to build all the mil ways and develop all the mini's in Manchuria.: but. if lummy runs short, she must apply to tin- bank.

Indifference is tantamount to encouragement for Russia. But tlie London -and Washington governments long ago had indubitable proof that Germany would under no circumstances antagonize Russia's scheme in the fur east. Germany could not oppose Russia seriously in Asia without imperilling her own interests in Eu- r'Jiic. l'*or the United Slates and Great Britain to rely on German support in controversies with Russia is w build on sand.-Fortunately they are under no compulsion to seek that support. Their interests In the far east are largely identical with those of Japan, and their natural combination is with her at all stages, as it is today in Pekin. BRIGGS THE CRiCKET KING Dies in Oheadle Asylum John Briggs, the famous Lancashire professional, one of the most popular cricketers that ever lived, died at Cheadle asylum two weeks ago, at the early age of 39, from the effects of paralysis which lirst seized him during' the progress of a test match between England and Australia at Leed;-s in 1S31). Born at Sutton, in Ashfield, in Notts, the nursery of so many famous cricketers, Briggs was only 10 when he first appeared for Lancashire, a county of which he was one of the mainstays for nearly twenty years. As a slow bowler on a sticky wicket,' he was at his best unequalled, in addition to which he was a fine, free batsman, and one of the best cover points that ever stepped in the held of play, indeed, with the exception perhaps o�� Lohmann and Peel, Briggs may be said to be the linest all round cricketer of the present generation. Briggs' finest batting performance was scored in 1&S5 when he scored 1SU runs against Surrey at Liverpool, and with the assistance of Pilling established a record, which stood for some years, by putting 173 runs for the last wicket. Several members of the Australian team which visited Great Britain in 1SSU, said of Briggs that he was the most difficult bowler in England to play on a bad wicket, and this opinion was fully borne out iii the test.match at Lord's, when in a, great measure, owing to his efforts, England won a single-innings. He made six visits to Australia, where he was uniformly successful and played in more test matches than any other cricketer. John Briggs was as good a bowler as he was a. batsman, and as smart in tho Held as in either of the other departments. Withal he was very- zealous, lie scored a century for Lancashire on his wedding day. Attached to that event there is a little romance. Mr. Briggs was engaged to be married and the day was approaching when he was invited to form one ol: the team which that year (ISS-1) was going to Australia. Briggs was then only XI, and its was a great opportunity. He hesitated about accepting the offer until he had consulted tlie lady who was to be his wife. She advised him to go. He did, and proved himself a veritable Trojan. On New Year's Day, against the whole Australian team he ran up a score of 121, the lirst time he had ever reached three figures in a first class match, in recognition of the feat the organizers of the tour presented the young player with ten guineas, which he forthwith spent in purchasing a ring for'his fiancee. Brfggs was one of the very few first class cricketers who performed the "double hat" trick (taking six wickets with six balls). It was at Parklield. With five balls of the last over before luncheon interval he clean bowled five wickets. After lunch he took his place to bowl the last ball of the over, and with it sent the bails spinning. Mann's_ Railway Program : Donald D. Mann, of the firm of Mackenzie & Mann, has arrived from the east. Ho is in 'British Columbia for the purpose of discussing railway matters with the government at Victoria. "I. have come directly through from Winnipeg," said Mr. Mann, "you may say 1 am here lor the purpose of talking over railway questions with the members of the government at Victoria, and considering matters In connection with proposals in which we arc Interested, i expect to be in Victoria for a few weeks and then return lo the east." Mr. Mann went on to say, in reply lo further questions, that he was not In a position to stale tlie nature of the negotiations, or what lie expected would be done until the questions had been talked over al Victoria. "In .Manitoba everything is looking particularly prosperous," he said. "Our line is doing a splendid business. General trade ihere aud in the east could not be belter.*' Mr. Mann was asked regarding plans for the Canada Northern's proposed extension Into Uritish Columbia, and lo the Pacific terminus at Kitiniat. "We.feel that the busiiiess and territory south'of the Canadian Pacific and along the boundary will be looked after very well by the Canadian Pacific and Great Northern. The natural competition of business between the two companies will cause one or Ihe other t-o build lines to all districts needing railways, and the development of those sections can bo safely left to them. .The northern railway is what we want now, Of course we have the charier for the Coast-Kootenay line, and we are now building twenty-eight miles of that as a connection, and naturally intend to go on with construction. Railroad Accidents In Russia during tho year 1899 there were 750 railway collisions and 135 canes ot* derailment, and yet in all these accidents only forty persons were killed outright. Altogsther, there were 1226 persons killed by railways in Russia during that yeai, most or them being struck by trains or being employees who lost their lives in their way of duty. In the United States during 1900 eight passengers and 197 employes were killed. In Canada seven passengers and 137 employes were killed in 1900. Wc do not make as good a showing as that of the United States, considering the amount of railroading done in tiic two countries. In Canada the number o! Passengers killed per million curried has stoadily dodinRl from 2.11 in 1X75 to 0.:':*���; in I Dm), but the ���-.���mmtag': in Ununited States is yet lower than ours, being 0.20.

Dockstcader of Sandon has been promoted to the general agency of the Sun Life Insurance Company for the Kootenay district, and will in future make his headquarters in Nelson. The meeting of the creditors of the Chap- leau Mining Company, which was announced to be held in this city on Friday last, will be held today after the arrival of (he Slocan train. One of the objects of tho meeting is said to be to take action regarding the government grant of $1)000 made to the Chapleau wagon road, and which has not yet been paid over. not be carried out by the people it was obviously impossible for their more radical platforms to secure favor. James Wilks was one of the chief speakers, lie expressed himself as unquestionably a supporter of the Martin platform, and paid a llatterlng tribute lo the sagacity of the newly appointed leader. Other speakers followed in a similar strain and judging by the trend of the discussion the quasi-Socialist platform drafted by the Liberal convention will receive the bulk of the Socialist nnd labor vote.

A lively meeting of the Socialist League was held yesterday afternoon at the Miners' Union hall, when the Martin program came up for discussion. There was some difference of opinion especially amongst the more ardent of the Socialists, but the concensus of opinion appeared to be that the Martin platform wns the best which had been put forth by the political parties ot the day, and that If the program could The Sandon papers have some hard things to say about the .Nelson hockey boys in cancelling their engagement to. play al Sandon last week. The Paystreak says: "it was certainly disappointing. The boys were all out the trouble and advertising, and the rink company lost what would have been the best gale of the season, while the betting "element, who had their money all done up in nice packages with an elastic band around it, failed to get into action." H. 13. Gilmour, M. I', for Vancouver, who arrived in the city on Friday evening's train, was In the city only for a few hours and returned to the Coast on Saturday evening. The object of his visit was to confer with a couple of mill men from Fernie, in regard to the sale of some machinery from the Waterous Company, of whicli he Is the agent. Mr. Kanonac, the Fernie man referred to, is the owner ol" a sawmill in the Fernie district and was accompanied by his manager, Samuel Thorpe, _both gentlemen returning to the Crow's "Nest on the Saturday morning boat. Mr. Gilmour was reticnt on matters political, but claimed that, one of the first acts of the legislature would be to pass a redistribution bill, and as the new I.ib-jral leader had pledged himself to support such a measure in the early part of (he session and as there was a unanimous desire for such a measure being passed before any appeal to the country wa.s made, it was more than likely that a reasonable redistribution bill would receive practically no opposition from any part of tho house.

Mr. Smyth is a strong advocate of protection for the lead manufacturing' industries of Canada. As he pointed out, at the present time "pig lead is shipped aU the way to Germany to be manufactured into white lead, lead pipe, etc., and then shipped to Canada to be sold as a manufactured product." These shipments aggregate about 13,000 tons per year, the system consequently adding materially to the cost of the manufactured article, besides depleting trade. At the St. Eugene the plant is kept in thorough repair, ready to start up at a minute's notice. The drift from the 100 foot level at the Lake Shore property is now in about 300 feet, which below the level of the lake, is easily handled. Recently they have also struck a nice chute of ore, containing four feet of solid galena in the No. 1 tunnel on the St. Eugene group. MAYOR BRADSHAW TALKS His Enemies are Active Mayor Bradshaw of Slocan arrived in the city on Saturday, in connection with the proceedings which are being taken to unseat him. Since assuming that position complications have arisen which would have practically compelled him to resign, had the proceedings against him not been commenced. It appears that for the first time in five years complaints of a frequent and irritating character have been made against him in his capacity as postmaster, which compelled the department to suggest his retirement from the position of mayor of the city. He says it is well known that those who are using their influence to unseat him are the same as those who are lodging the complaints with the postal authorities. The cause of the trouble appears to have arisen from the fact that the present occupant of the mayor's chair has been as good as his pledges, which he has endeavored to put into operation. The election, he says, was on a straight and clear issue, without any solicitation of votes on the part of the mayor or any undue influence of any kind, ln addition to this he declared from the platform, during the heat of the campaign that It was his intention to enforce the law. The issue of :the=olecstlon---was^that=if-heiwere=electedil*.ei should not lend his support to "a wide open town." On the strength of that pledge lie was elected, but immediately he attempted to put the law into operation the trouble bejran. At the last meeting of the council he notified the aldermen that he contemplated the step already alluded to, at the express wish of the postal authorities. Whether tills action on his part will stay proceedings he is not able to state, but in the event of the seat being declared vacant, either by his resigning or by being unseated, the "wide open town" element will not be permitted a walk over, as it Is the intention of the .supporters of the present incumbent to put up 11 light. The peculiar feature of tlie .situation at the present time Is that owing to the Incomplete voters' list there are only a few of the citizens who can qualify. Those whose names are mentioned as probable candidates are II. C. Smltheringale of the Slocan Drill, nnd D. D. Robertson, furniture dealer. The object of mayor Hradshnw"s visit to this city Is 10 appear before the court for the settlement of a time for the hearing of the petition, and the settling of the costs of the petitioner.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-02-17 |
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. |
