LONDON, February 13.���The detailed accounts which have reached here of lord Kitchener's combined movements to drive out the Boers from the enclosure of blockhouse lines, show that the conflict was very picturesque and that it was the most exciting incident of the whole campaign. Although apparently [���surrounded by an impenetrable ring of fire and steel, the Boers dauntless brav- jjery and dashing charges resulted in the " majority's escape from the meshes of lord Kitchener's close drawn net. The British commander's scheme was /the most extensive ever carried out luring the present war. it consisted of la continuous line, more than fifty miles n length. Lord Kitchener, who person- jtlly. directed the operation, was in close touch, day and night, with every detail uf the movements. The Boers, though iard pressed, shrank from attempting to ���ross the railroad, where armored .rains, equipped with powerful search ights, patrolled the line throughout the light. The train lights were supple- nented by stationary searchlights. The lattle at Heidelbron, Orange River Col- ny, raged from 9 o'clock on Friday ight to two o'clock on Saturday morn- tig. Throughout the five hours a fear- .il range of fire from rifles, cannon and om poms swept along the British lines l.-om Louemspruit, to Heidelbron, southwest away to Lindley and Kroonstadt, i holding Dewet's Boers, who made related attempts to break out of the *cir- le of the troops. From behind rocks ud dongolas, the Boers kept up a vig- rous Are. Simultaneously were the loers repulsed, leaving dead, wounded nd prisoners in the hands of the: Brit- ���h. At the outset of the preparations the oers-realized that the operations "were ot* merely an ordinary indrive, but a fjiov.ement threatening them with total nnihilation. General Dewet assembled is whole force and discussed the situa- 'on with the commanders, with the re- nlt that the Boers were split up into "tree forces. On Thursday night five hundred Boers eaded by.Van Collers, rushed a force f the Imperial Light Horse, about one iindred Boers getting through.

This is rather an interesting state of affairs, in view of the fact that there is more coke being shipped to the United States than to Canadian points, and emphasis tlie fact of the invariable preference given to coal and coke orders from United States institutions tributary to the Great Northern railway. A distinct earthquake shock, which was of several seconds duration, was felt, here and at other points in the Kettle river valley at 6:30 yesterday morn- in*;. The Grand Forks board of trade has adopted a resolution requesting the associated boards of trade of the Kootenays to take such action as will result in obtaining what is known as better terius for British Columbia from the Dominion. Killed the Entire Family NEW YORK, February 13.���Philemon Crelin, a special policeman at Milburn, near Orange, New York, did fearful work tonight with a revolver at his home, shooting his daughter and himself, and causing the death of his wife. His own wound and those of the girl are almost certain to prove fatal before morning. Tuesday night. Crelin had a quarrel with his wife, and tried to stab her with a carving knife. His daughter interfered and save her mother's life, but the father at this time threatened to kill his child. Tonight, when Crelin went off duty, he brought a revolver home with him. While all the facts are not known at present, it seems likely that he first shot the daughter. She was struck by two bullets,, one of which entered her abdomen, and the other the left breast. Crelin, it. is thought, then attempted to shoot his wife, but she was suddenly seized with a hemorrhage of the lungs, and fell to the floor dead. The officer then shot himself, the bullet striking in the region of the heart. The daughter's name is Mrs. Mary Ferguson. She and her three children made their home with Crelin.

Coming From the United States WINNIPEG, February 13.���"I do not believe, that in stating that the total number of American settlers who "will cross the line into western Canada this year will be 50,000, that you the giving anything but a conservative estimate," said C. W. Speers to a reporter of the Free Press last night. The Dominion colonization. agent returned to the city yesterday from Crookston and Hallock, Minnesota, where he had been addressing meetings attended by agriculturalists,'called in the interests of emigration. The meetings at both of these places were very largely attended, many of the farmers of the states across the border having driven sixteen,, miles. The halls were packed, and they listened to what was told them of the resources in western Canada until 2 o'clock in the morning, many having to stand during all that time. "The farmers," said Mr. Speers, "were eager not only to know about western Canada, but wanted to know just how they should invest their money and leave the states at once. They were given straight facts to lead them, and found them convincing enough. I advised them to-wait until the weather moderates before crossing the line to settle, but many are anxious to get an early start, so that if won't be long before the first arrivals reach here." Mr. Speers states that, the settlers will come from all parts of the republic, that Minnesota will be especially well represented', and that Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, and in fact from every agricultural state, where land is becoming crowded, a pouring out'of farmers seeking for new homes and broader fields will be seen. A feature of this class~of immigration"is"that'a"large"per^ centage will have ample means to make a splendid start in the new country. James P. Bogue, chief clerk in the stores department of the C.

The following is the speech from the throne.: Honorable gentlemen of the senate, and gentlemen of the ho.use of commons.���In meeting you again, at the commencement of another session of parliament, it is my flrst duty to express the deep sense of our gratitude to divine providence for the many blessings which Canada has received during the past year, and particularly for the exceptional bountiful harvest in Manitoba and the Northwest, territories, lt was very gratifying to note the cordial reception tendered by all* classes of the people to the prince and princess of Wales on the occasion of their visit in September and October last, the only regrettable feature being the limited time at their disposal, which prevented their visiting many important centres of population. It is, however, a great satisfaction to know that their royal highnesses enjoyed their tour through Canada, and carried away the most pleasant recollections of their visit to this part of the empire. The assassination of president McKinley has elicited a universal feeling of sympathy and sorrow throughout the civilized world, and though Canada has happily so far been free from crimes of this character,. it's close proximity to the United States may make it advisable to join our efforts to the efforts of the United States and other nations, to provide by legislation for the adequate punishment of those, who, either by speech or writing, incite fanatics to the perpetration of such horrible crimes. The returns of the late census will be laid" before you, and while the absolute increase in the number of popuation is not so great as might have been expected, the evidence or growth in wealth and the general tokens of prosperous development are highly satisfactory. There is good reason also to believe that the increase in population during the latter half of the decade has been greatly in excess of the average of former years, and that in the near future, we may look for a much more rapid growth than occurred during the period covered by the last two censuses. Application having been made by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for approval of an increase of its capital, to meet the demand for additional rolling stock and other improved facilities for handling the growing traffic, my ministers availed themselves of the opportunity to stipulate that the long pending question of the power of the governor in council to regulate the tolls of. the company should be submitted to the courts for judicial decision.

Those British and Japanese residents of Pekin, whose opinions are worthy of consideration, believe the the alliance assures peace, and will effectually check the dismemberment schemes of the other powers. The chief objection raised by the diplomats of the oposing interests is found ln the clause of the alliance which contemplates possible intervention in the event of internal disturbances in China territory. These diplomats are telling the Chinese officials that tho new treaty amounts to an attempt to establish an Anglo - Japanese protectorate, which threatens China's independence. Chinese officialdom, including prince Ching, the president of the foreign office, professes hearty approval of the treaty.

I am pleased to inform you that the display made in Canada of her products at the several expositions at which they have been exhibited during the last years has attracted much attention, and has already resulted in many inquiries and orders for our goods. I may also congratulate you on the satisfactory continuation of the revenue, and on the steady and continuous expansion of the business of the country, as evidenced by the increased volume of exports and imports. With a view of still further facilitating and devoloping our trade with other countries, it will probably be found expedient to increase the number of our commercial agencies, and parliament will be asked to consider the desirability of making additional provision for that purpose. I have also pleasure in informing you that the governments of Australia and New Zealand have accepted an invitation from my government to attend a conference in London next June for the consideration of trade, transportation, cable and other matters of intercolonial concern, and it is hoped that the meeting may lead to an extension of Canadian trade with those important portions of his majesty's dominions. I have further to advise you that my government having caused inquiry to be made, has reached the conclusion that the establishment of direct steamship service with South Africa, would enable Canada to secure in that country a profitable market for her varied products, and to that end, will endeavor to arrange for such a service.

The chief business transacted was the en- dorsation of the resolution passed at the meeting of the executive board, in respect to the pig lead industry, pre-1 viously reported, with instructions to the delegates attending the meeting of the associated boards of trade at Kaslo, during the present month to emphasise the importance of this matter at the forthcoming convention. The following resolution, submitted by the Greenwood board of trade, was', on motion of W. W. Beer and Thoburn Allen, accepted and submitted for approval to the Kaslo convention. "Whereas, the welfare of'a. large portion of Southern British Columbia depends upon the development of the large bodies of low grade ore; and, whereas, the present cost of fuel appears excessive, and should if possible, be reduced; it is therefore resolved that . the associated boards of trade of Southern British' Columbia in convention assembled, is strongly of the opinion that the welfare of certain parts of Southern British Columbia, the Boundary section in particular, demands cheaper fuel, and earnestly urges upon tho Dominion government the advisability of doing everything within its power to encourage the opening of new coal fields either by individuals or companies, and in every other available way reducing the cost of fuel." It was arranged that a circular letter should be mailed to every business man and merchant in the city urging upon them the importance of assisting in the work of the board of trade. The motion to hold the meetings of the board of trade quarterly instead of monthly was held over until a subse- auent meetin.��-.

Prince Henry and Mayor Low KIEL, Prussia, February 13. ��� Mayor Low ot New i'ork, has cabled to prince Henry of Prussia saying that Herr "Wie- gand, director general of the North German Lloyd line thinks that unless the Kron Prinz SVilhelm sails from Bremen, earlier than 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, she will not bn :ib! ��� to arrive at New York, owing to Hi-- u:.;;> weather that prevails at this season 1,1 the year, until late in the afternoon of February 22nd, too late to allow .sufficient time for tho ceremony of the municipal welcome and tho presentation to the prince of the freedom of tho city of New i'ork.

Lord Cranborne added the information that Manchuria was no more excluded from the scope of the agreement than any other province of the Chinese empire. The substance of the agreement lord Cranborne also said, was communicated to Germany. Air. Norman said he objected to the'British-Japanese treaty on. the ground that it was evidently an anti-Huasian threat, and that it tied Great Britain to the wheels of the-Japanese policy, whereby she might be forced to go to war against her own interests. .Lord Cranborne explained that the contracting parties were only bound to undertake mutual defense' -of their interests when the danger was due' to the aggression of others, aud the power called upon to help the other must judge whether the conditions of the treaty had been fulfilled. The Liberal leader, sir Henry Campbell- Bannerman, thought that the identical interests of Great Britain, the United States and Japan could have been sufficiently secured by an interchange of notes, instead of by an explicit undertaking of this kind. The government leader, a. J. Balfour, said that there seemed to be an impression that something hostile to peace was behind the agrement. That was not so. The treaty was strongly for peace. Because the most adventurous nation would shrink from attacking Japan with the knowledge that. Great Britain would also have to be encountered. The treaty, was not unfriendly to other nations, lt would, Mr. Balfour hoped, have a sobering effect on the continental schools of thought, which imperilled the world's peace. Continuing, lord Cranborne said Russia had recognized Japan's special position In Corea, by the agreement of 1SUS, and almost every power had endorsed the principle of the open door and the territorial integrity of Cnina. The new treaty, therefore, was merely along the lines already accepted by almost every ��� power. Great Britain's commercial position in China was of most importance, and who could say what its importance would become in future with China's infinite capacity for expansion. Britain's commercial position, though great, was not unchallenged. Spheres of influence did- not suit her. She wanted the whole of China open to industrial enterprise. The government was bound to take every care in. safeguarding its commercial rights in the Orient. Japan's special interest was governed by her geographical position. Her army and Great Britain's navy were acting in concert, and were peculiarly able to maintain the'fore- going policy. Lord Cranborne said, in conclusion, that he would supplement his earlier statement regarding the United States by saying: -"Throughout all the negotiations in China, her relations between Great Britain and the United States were marked by the greatest cordiality. At almost every crisis, and in the case of every small dilli- culty which during negotiations at Pekin, the United States and British representatives had always acted together, .There is no doubt that in tills agreement we shall command the full approval of the United States." This statement was received with cheers. LONDON, February 13.���The foreign secretary, lord Lansdowne, in the house of lords today, made a somewhat similar re-' .ply_on^lhe_subjecUoL=the-duaLalllance,^to the ���ne made in the house of commons by the under foreign secretary, lord Cranborne. The object of tlie alliance was three fold, the maintenance of the status quo, the policy of the open door, and the main-, tenance of peace in the far east. No other power's interest In the far east were at all comparable with those of Great Britain and Japan. While il was true that the alliances of Great Britain with other powers had been regarded heretofore with considerable suspicion, he frankly declared that the government was not going lo be deterred in these considerations. They saw on all sides the tendency of the great powers to form groups, and the ever increasing naval and military armaments, involving ever increasing burdens on the people, la these days wars broke out with a suddenness, which was nol the case In former years. So, the country, adopting without reservation tho doctrine that all alliances must be avoided, must be endowed with an extraordinary amount of self sufficiency. There wa.s much greater danger in leaving great questions of International policy to a vague, hasty understanding, than embodying them explicitly in an agreement, the purport of which can be understood. Great Britain desired to protect Japan against what she conceived to be the greatest peril Ihat might menace her, namely, a coalition of the powers (igalnst her. The agreement would compel Great Britain to. come to the rescue of a friendly country, whose obliteration, by the coalition of the powers, Great Britain could not under any circumstances tolerate. The treaty was not connected with the government's decision regarding..Wei Hai Wei, but the maintenance of the independence of Japan and the protection of Corea were of the utmost importance "t6" Great Britain as well as Japan. Lord Rosebery expressed general approval of the treaty. He said the effect of the treaty would be felt in a great part of Europe and iu the rest of tho civilized world. LONDON, February M���The statement of lord Cranborne. under secretary for foreign affairs. In the house of commons, that the substance of the Anglo-Japanese agreement was communicated to the United States before publication, has excited renewed discussions a.s to the attitude of the United States.

In replying Mr. Chamberlain disclaimed any intention of making political capital out of the occasion, but he said he thought he might, on behalf of the government, make an appeal for national support.

He ' had'-not' thought it necessary to- stoop to iheet the imputations- of national greed, lust of territory or personal ambition and criminal motives, suggested by the; insignificant, majority, since the war, as he had the approval of the sister nation across the sea,. .In regard to the immediate causes of the war, con-, tinued Mr. ' Chamberlain, it was not' only- imposible' for a great nation to allow its subjects to be humilitated, oppressed, its engagements., broken and ..black races oppressed, but the very existence of the empire was involved and the government "was pledged to continue until the danger from which they had' escaped was forever averted. . ��� After a reference to shallow observers abroad, who foretold Great Britain's down fall, Mr. Chamberlain concluded with paying a glowing tribute to the colonies, who throughout the war had.: demonstrated ,their intention ^to share the obligations, as well as the privileges of the empire. It "was a long step toward the consolidation wincn' was now within measure of practical, accomplishment. ,He. did not envy the statesman -who-woukLbe-willing-to-corn--. promise the issue, for which the empire fought. The nation was not vindicative to its enemies. If they surrendered today they would be welcomed as . friends tomorrow. The expulsion of those who caused the war was only' a measure of self preservation. Similarly, immunity for treason was not humanity, ��� but was cruelty to the loyalists and to the Boers who, now in thousands recognizing the futility of the struggle, were aiding Great Britain to end the war. In justice to those who had died and as security for the survivors, they must mako the Boers recognize that they are defeated and take from them the best possibilities of repeating the attempt. To do otherwise would be to invite the contempt of foreign countries, whose affection it seemed impossible for . us to gain, but whose respect at any rate they,, were able to secure. A luncheon followed the reply of Mr. Chamberlain to the presentation address. Comments on the Treaty* . ST, .THOMAS.

The problem of dealing with the federal government's coal measures in the Crow's : Nest overshadows in importance every other question that can come up before the associated boards of trade. Whether the provincial government's tax upon the output of the mines of the province -remains as at present, or becomes two per cent net after deducting the cost of mining, as well as freight and treatment, matters very little if any impairment is permitted to the fuel supplies of the British Columbia smelters which must reduce the low grade ores of Boundary if they are to be marketed. The question, at issue is whether the position of British Columbia's smelters will be best secured by giving the Crow's Nest Coal Company a complete and lasting monopoly of the only available coking coal in the Crow's Nest, or whether this end will be best attained by giving the local smelters the advantage of competition in their fuel purchases. :��� We are shewirig a very pretty line of newest designs in Valentines ranging in price from 10c to $2.50 each.

THE COURTSHIP'S SHADOWS The phenominal wheat ci:op of the Canadian Northwest last year is proving a great advertisement for the Dominion, and present indications are that it will result in drawing a large army of settlers from the less productive lands in the western states of the American union.. For months past the federal government has had, its emigration agents at work telling the people of the neighboring states of the wonderful richness of the lands in the great west which await their coming. But all .their efforts would have been in vain were it not for the bountiful harvests which last season rewarded Its hardy argonauts. They are coming this year thousands _strong. From the western states. of the union alone their number is conservatively stated at 50,000, and to this army may be added those who will, come from the worked out lands; of the eastern provinces and states, as well as those from Europe. Truly Canada's great west is beginning to fill up, and with the right sort of people, those.who may be counted upon helping themselves. A year ago, when James* J. Hill's connection with the Crow's Nest Coal Company was but a vague :Buspicion, his railway schemes in Southern British Columbia were heralded throughout the province as heaven sent blessings to deliver the country from the thraldom of the Canadian Pacific railway. The people were told that it" mattered not who offered their deliverance, so long as it was offered, and a determined effort was made to save' the province whether its people* desired saving or not. To this end boards of trade were packed, and resolved accordingly, and even the provincial legislature was not immune. When the time was ripe a gun was placed at the head of premier Dunsmuir and he was commanded to heavily subsidize Hill's philanthropic railway schemes or take the consequences. But A Story of New York "This is Mr. Anderson." In tho hall of the Athenaeum Club an introduction was being affected. There Is, of course, no such club in this city. For that matter there Is no such person as Mr. Anderson. Both exist, but under other names. Journalism is precise, but there are occasions when precision ceases to be permis- sable. This is one of them. For the purposes of the present chronicle it is not only necessary to mask not only the club, but the characters in it. The reason presently will appear. At the time���and that time was not later than the Sunday before last���a young man was actively engaged in making his uncle acquainted with his future father-in-law, The latter is the person whom I have christened Mr. Anderson. The uncle I baptize Harry Marquhar and the nephew Reginald There, barring the heroine, you have what I think 1 have described as the dramatis personae. The heroine will be produced in.a minute Yet not of course in that hall where the three men were standing. Six weeks previous Reginald had crossed the ocean. On ine way over chance or the chief steward placed him side by side at the table with Mr. Anderson's daughter. The girl was pretty as a picture and from the documents in the case I have no doubt but that she was���and for that matter still is���as good as she was pretty. Moreover, she was endowed with superior health and manner, and although reticent she could listen to anything worth listening to with glimpses of teeth as perfect as Reginald could have remembered to have seen before. To provoke these glimpses Reginald said whatever entered his head, and it fell out that in the wide leisures of the voyage companionship became pleasant to them both, so pleasant, indeed, that neither felt that it could terminate with the voyage, both concurring that it would be pleasant to take a long trip, in which not chance nor the chief steward, but' matrimony, should place them side by side. That was natural. The girl was very fetching, and Reginald, who is alarmingly good looking, enjoys the formidable reputation of being one of the best dressed chaps in town. To me it is always a pleasure to look at him. Then also he comes of what is known as the best people, those people who are still the best people in spite of plutocratic invasion. Such things count with a girl, particularly, if she have money and social aspirations. Miss Anderson had both, Apart from her other charms she had nothing else. She lacked that local perquisite to success which is called position. Hosts and hostesses never thought of asking her to their entertainments for the excellent reason that in this great city where the few are obvious and the many obscure, she was an entirely unknown quantity. In Boston it is not long since a young man revolving in the upper circles of Beacon street became engaged to a haberdasher's daughter. Another young man circling in the same orbit became engaged to a stableman's daughter. In each instance the status of the father was clear. The statu.1-: of Miss Anderson's father even lacked such clarity as that, lt was totally undefined. When, therefore, last week, as a result of circumstances hereinafter related were announced that one of the best known young men in town was to marry an absolutely unknown heiress, there were suppositions, as there always are, in plenty. It was supposed, for instance, that Mr. 9} to to to 9} to to to 9\ Fred Irvine ���**& $ >�� Just received a large assortment of ladies' and childrens' night dresses, chemies and drawers corset covers white skirts, infant and children's dresses.

A press dispatch from Grand Forks last evening probably furnishes the key to the action of the Grand Forks board of trade In decided to place the Crow's Nest coal question upon the agenda paper for the consideration of the associated boards at their approaching conference in Kaslo. It now transpires that while the organs of the Crow's Nest Coal Company have been repeating in expressive unison that there has been no shortage of fuel for British Columbia's smelters, that at least one smelter ���that at Greenwood���would have beun obliged to close down but for the fact that it was allowed to divert supplies of coke consigned to the Nelson and Granby smelters. Little wonder then that the members of.the Grand Forks board of trade, having regard for tne welfare of an industry upon which all their hopes are pinned, desire a thorough ventilation of . the Crow's Nest coal situation. Nor is it surprising, that the business men of the chief city in the great copper district should view with uneasiness a condition which retards smelting in British Columbia in the interest of rival smelters in the United States. It doubtless carries its own warning to them, and they may be pardoned for speculating as to what they are up against. If, with the possibility of future competition staring it in the face, the Crow's Nest Coal Company diverts so much of East Kootenay's coal and coke to the smelters of the United States that the British Columbia smelters are obliged to borrow from other Emelter reserves, or close down, the people of Grand Forks, which depends the premier called~thlT~blufif~aird~foF~a year at least one portion of the province has worried along without Mr. Hill's all saving competition. The other portion was not so successful. In it Mr. Hill's scheme has slowly developed. From a suspected interest in the coal measures of the Crow's Nest his holding has manifested itself until he now admittedly holds the controlling Interest in the Crow's Nest Coal Company, and with a line of railway in course of construction to connect the coal fields with his trunk systems of the United States, he is slowly perfecting the greatest monopoly in the Dominion of Canada. The one thing lacking is the last available site for the economic working of the Crow's Nest coal area, which has been applied for. Thus, within a year, the complexion of the Hill invasion has completely changed. What the people now want is protection from their self constituted deliverer. They want the' right to work out their own salvation, and they ask the federal government to see that they are not hampered by the further diversion of the coke of the Crow's Nest from the smelters of their own province, or by such disposition of the federal government's coal areas as will perfect Mr. Hill's present monopoly. . Young Theodore Out of Danger GROTON, Massachusetts, February 13 ��� Young Theodore Roosevelt passed a good night and this morning his condition is such that it was announced that the president would leave for "Washington this afternoon. The crisis of the disease in the night has passed successfully, the left lung has cleared to the satisfaction of the doctors and the boy is now considered out of danger. "Kid" Broke His Arm SAN FRANCISCO, February 13.���In boxing with his sparring partner, Mike Donovan, "Kid" Lavigne broke one of the bones of the forearm. This makes it impossible to carry out the fight between Jack O'Brien of New York on February 23rd. Roberta Appointed Speaker HALIFAX, February 13.���Thomas Roberts, M.P.P., was last night chosen speaker o fthe Nova Scotia legislature. Anderson was in Chicago pork, in Montana mines, in Mexican rails, in Texas oil and the Lord knows what not. Such were the suppositions. Presently you shall have tht facts. Mr. Harry Harqunar will supply them. Could I really tell you who he really is the statements which are to come from him you would accept without question. But his identity 1 may safely leave to your penetration. __.Mr.__Harquhnr is an old New Yorker. There are not many left. He"is~one'6f"themr- He led cotillons on the historic nights when cotillons were known as Germans. It was he who originated the epigram that it is a bore to bo in society and a tragedy not to. He has been everywhere, seen everything known every body. He has been interested in a number of ladies, now dead and departed, and at balls and dinners has related the fact to their granddaughters with comparative calm. He is not only an old New Yorker, he is an old beau. As such he has two manners, one extremely gracious, the other extremely remote. The Sunday before last In the hall fo tho Athenaeum club he wa.s displaying the latter. "This is Mr. Anderson, ur.cle Harry." At the introduction-Mr. Anderson raised his hat, stretched out his hand and smiled. Mr. Harquhar smiled also. Hut he did not think it necessary to acknowledge the introduction in any other way. Me simply smiled. He kept his haL on his head and his hands in his pockets. Mr. Anderson is a large man with a face like a brandled cherry. It was a dull red all over except on the forehead whore there was a white scar. He mumbled something about the pleasure he was experiencing. Mr. Harquhar made no reply. Reginald said something to the effect that lie was glad to bring his uncle and his future father-in-law together. Mr. Harquhar did not appear to have heard him. He was still .smiling'. But in that smile there was a gleam as chill as the point of a sword. Before it suddenly tho scar on Mr. Anderson's forehead flamed. He dropped his hand, replaced his hat and stalked to the door. Reginald saw him out and returned to where his uncle was standing. "Have you lunched, Reginald?" the uncle asked. "No? Very good. Then lunch with me. Mr. Anderson has given me an appetite." "In that case," Reginald retorted angrily, "1, can't say that you seemed very grateful." At this Mr. Harquhar smiled as he had smiled before, 'faking the nephew by ��� the arm he led him to that whicli to my way of thinking, is tlie most elaborated breakfast room in New York. On Sundays men don't go much to clubs, and tlie Sunday before last this particular room was empty. "Suppose we sit here," Mr. Harquhar said, indicating a table by the window. "What would you say to a rougout a la Sandanaple, and a glass of Moselle, Archibald?" he added. Turning to the head waiter he said: "Will you see, please, that the ragout has saffron in it and that the Moselle is not iced. Now," he resumed, when the waiter had gone, "Mr. Anderson is.quite well off, 1 think you said." '.'Ten million," Reginald answered shortly. He was angry still. "His daughter, I presume, will come in for it all. Well, ten million is just enough to entertain on. Nowadays o. penny less and you arc pinched. Lorrilard said that no man could live like a gentleman on less Ihan a thousand dollars a day. At 3V". per cent ten million will about, yield that. I (.���an remember when twelve thousand a year wa.s regarded as wealth. Times have changed, but not customs. Always, it has been considered ns easy to marry a ricli girl as a poor one, besides being, as major Pendennls remarked, much more comfortable. By tho way, you know Bob Roberts, don't you?" "The faro king?" Reginald answered. "What about him?" "Nothing," Mr. Harquhar replied. "He occurred to me in connection with old New York. The papers, you may have noticed, have been dripping with recently. But they don't seem to go very far back. But it is my misfortune to do so. "A quarter of a century ago there were only a few faro banks in this city. One or two may have been square, the others were not. They were patronized by underlings, aspirants to the rogue's gallery, criminals sometimes in embryo, sometimes in fact. Tlie dealer was of a type that has gone. He wore diamonds and dressed entirely in black. "Had you seen one standing in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel you, of course, would have known what he was, but to the average countryman lie represented the supreme expression of the apathetic man- about-town. In those days Bob Roberts was of that type." "Here is the ragout," Reginald interrupted, vaguely bored. ������ "But there was," Mr. Harquhar proceeded, helping his nephew to some truf- iles and game, ������there was nothing apathetic about Roberts except in appearance sake. He was a great hand at making a stranger feel at home and in then taking that stranger's home away. A gift such as that is likely to lead to curious experiences. More than once it led him to jail. "But he had other adventures. On one of these sumptious April days of ours, which are not of tlie spring nor yet of the summer, but a commingling of both, a girl passed in front of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where he stood. "Whether or not she gave him so much of an invitation as the quiver ot an eyelid, 1, for one, do not know. What I do know is that he followed her, joined her and accompanied her to her parents' home. To make a long story short In a week she was " "1 think I will take some of that Moselle," Reginald interjected, with a yawn. "Help yourself, dear boy. Where was I? Oh, yes. In addition to the girl, if I remember rightly her name was Arabella, or something similar, Bob Roberts had other equally interesting friends. . There wus, for instance, 'Johnny Slope,' a plumber by trade, by practice a thief. There was 'Banjo Pete,' a lively young fellow who, after failing in the minstrel world had initiative in the art of illumination with dark lanterns. There was also George Percival, a connection, I have understood of the Percivals of Washington Square, but who had developed a great knack of =-(lnding^lhings.-b.efore.jhey-werejqst.^^^^^ "These pals of Roberts' were all Interested in faro. Through their aid and through the aid of others similarly accomplished, he was duplicating joints, triplicating them all over the city. "Meanwhile in the quarters over which Arabella presided, occasionally there were festivities. That brisk young Pete would bring his banjo, play he was Mr. Bones again, crack wonderful jokes and sing a rattling song. 'Johnny Slope'���Mr. Slopely in private life��� would sometimes come with his lady, sometimes with his father, as nice looking old gentleman as ever cracked a crib. And there, too, with his high-bred face, Percival would lounge by the hour. "I'd like a bit of bread, please," Reginald again Interrupted. "Now, it so happened," Mr. Harquhar reaching a plate to his nephey, continued, "that in the progress of one of these festivities Bob Roberts was called away, and did not return until all the guests had gone, except Percival. "He was then just In time to hear Arabella call for help, to see Percival with one arm about her waist, the other across her neck, lie saw that. He saw red, too. With a spring he was upon him. But Percival dropped the girl, picked up a bottle and struck at him. "When Roberts recovered consciousness Arabella had washed the blood away, but not the scar. Twenty-live years have not eliminated it. It was visible when he was talking to me ln the hall here a few minutes ago. Have another truffle." "What?" Reginald cried. His anger had gone. His boredom also. "Do you mean " "That Mr. Anderson and Mr. Bob Roberts are one and the same? Why, of course I do. But I haven't finished. There is an epilogue to the story. A fortnight after the bottle incident, Percival was found, a pistol at his side, a bullet in his heart. But examination disclosed another bullet, which from a distance had entered the back of his head. There were surmises, but even the amateur detectives of the local press were unable to invent a clue." "And you say," Reginald muttered. "You say that " He did not seem to get any farther. "Why, of course I say that," Mr. Harquhar retorted. Did you not hear me? Or would you wish that 1 should tell it all over again? 1 as you know, have never married. Yet were I to do so, I would want to know something about my bride's people. But you are of a later age. The modern young man proposes and leaves it to others to investigate. Yesterday, on receipt of the nolo in which you acquainted me with your engagement, I called on my old friend, inspector Byrnes. It is the summary of this conversation which I have related to you." "I will chuck It," said Reginald. "It's a beastly shame, too, a nicer girl never lived." "Then why should you? Since she Is, as you say, nice and tolerably plutocratic to boot, why should you break it off?" "But you forget that " "f forget so little that I can remember when the idea of visiting the sons and daughters of that Wall Street thug. 'Jake Strop,'' would have Ij^en unspeakable. Yet today everybody visits them. I myself have done so. I found, them, too, very amiable and well bred. 1 can remember when acquaintances of mine were asking, 'Shall we receive the Rotterdams?' And a little later those same acquaintances asking, 'Will the Rotterdams receive us?' " "You think then, uncle Harry ' "1 think that Bob Roberts, or Mr. Anderson, as he calls himself in private life, is not a man for you to associate with. He is not a man whom you should, have received in this club. Indeed, 1 should be very sorry, to have the committee learn that you had. But he is no worse than 'Jake Strop.' he is better off than the original Rotterdam, and so far as I am able to judge his manners in the hall are better than Jim Fisk's. The one objection to him is that he is not dead and damned, or rather not dead and forgiven. But if I am correctly Informed he will soon be In Sing Sing. There he will be out of your way and no one here will suspect that Miss Anderson is tho daughter of Bob Roberts, the faro king. Suppose you call a hansom and take me up to see her." Whereupon Reginald, swallowing a cup of coffee and such misgivings as remained, obeyed. Thus it came about that a few days ago you may have read In the papers, and in conjunction with a great number of others were mystified in reading that a well- kno.wn New York polo player was engaged to a western heiress of whom society had never heard, and concerning whom, were it not for the veiled indiscretions of the present chronicle, society would be no wiser than before.���New York Exchange. ���$��� .j. .j. .j. .j. .j* ��*��� .j. .j�� ��**, .i. ,j. .?. .j*.

The Cologne correspondent of the Daily Mail reports that the body of prince Galatzin had passed through St. Petersburg. The correspondent says that this is the first intimation that t?ie prince had been killed." 'The telegram printed above appeared in virtually ill the papers on the Pacific coast, including British Columbia, on either Friday or Saturday last. Yet how many who read gave move than a passing thought to the intelligence conveyed, or recalled a personal acquaintance with of remembrance of the remarkable personality most concerned? For the death of prince Galatzin closes the dramatic and romantic history of one of the greatest travellers, philosophers and students that St. Petersburg has sent into the virtually impenetrable countries of oldest Asia, and Vancouver is not without some local interest in him, since it was here that he reappeared to the so-called world of civilization that had given him up as sacrificed to the prince emerged from mysterious Thibet, which country he was the first European to thoroughly explore, and returned for a brief space to the centres of European learning and culture. He was at that time a man of striking personal appearance, perhaps sixty years of age, but well preserved���an empty right sleeve suggesting the story of one of his grim adventures beyond the farthest outposts of the unknown world. He saw but few during his stay at the Vancouver, en route to Paris and St. Petersburg, but those few will never forget the flashing of his keen grey eyes or the hypnotic quality of his grave voice as he related a narrative of personal experience that carried speaker and fascinated listeners well into the hours of morning all unconsciously���a story such as Rider Haggard's glowing imagination could scarce have conjured up. Trusting to memory solely for the tale. It was during the early sixties that the prince had taken leave of Russia, his destination, the unknown and thus alluring home of the Thibetans between which the upper India native had set the mighty Himalayas as an impenetrable wall. The prince's party at. the outset included some half a score of noted scientists, equipped and financed for a year or two of exploration in the face of opposition. As British civilization and influences were gradually left behind in the advance toward the terra incognita, these science a score of years before ...... That was in the early "ninties" when difficulties grew and multiplied with strange persistence. Guides and servants disappeared with beasts and burden between the setting and the rising of the sun; innumerable obstacles to progress were interposed by petty potentates; ignorance of general, languages and written authority was encountered daily; sickness and mishap appeared to interdict the plans of the explorers, one by one of whom gave way before the form of late, until camping one night within the shadow of the mountain mon- archs, in a valley fit to the garden of the gods, the prince at length found himself alone save for a few complaining, hesitating hill men who on the point of open mutiny protested with all the eloquence resourcefulness of Oriental argument against a further inroad. The camp was made and prince and people slept. . . In the morning the few remaining horses were found dead. At once the guides and servants read in the dire circumstance fresh evidence of the anger of the gods. Not so prince Galatzin, who grimly sought a more prosaic explanation of the mystery and quickly found it. The beautiful valley from end to end was of a rank and deadly poison grass. But still the natives making up the party could not be made amenable to reason and willingly advance. Sternest measures followed, and one dead man and a threatening revolver induced the party to obedience. Death valley was crossed that day. And then as though by magic, difficulties that had-been crowding in cum- alative strength appeared to have an end. A strange, intelligent and friendly people gave the white traveller welcome. He trod the streets of unfamiliar villages, : the inhabitants hastening everywhere to facilitate his progress and anticipate the necessities of the party. The stages of the country advanced to do him honor and reverence; the rulers provided him an escort and provision suited to a personage of highest rank and state. Thus did he make his way by stages to the grand lamassary of Lassa, the' home and. heart of Buddhism, where enthroned among his counsellors and in mystery Skoolak received the homage of many million priests of high and low degree, not as Buddhist pope alone, but as the divinity incarnate in the earth. It was prince Galatzin's fortune to meet and freely talk with this remarkable head of the. religions in Greater Asia���not once but frequently and without embarrassment���to tell him something of the "civilized" world, and to be instructed" in turn in the borderland of knowledge in which the Buddhist priests are known masters���such mental sciences as western people have neglected, and whose very mention suggests even today, the thought of magic and deepest mystery. Incidentally he learned as time went on the secret of the sudden end of his vexations���the beautiful valley of death in which his beasts had met their sudden death had- centuries before been sown with poisonous vegetation as a protection against unwelcome curiosity; the legends of the people invested with scancity-any-who--might-.pass,-=of-whon*u he was the flrst; and the less credulous philosophers and priests felt it but pol- ilcy to gratify the impulse of the people and welcome as half-divine the unbidden stranger rather than cast discredit on the tales that they themselves had framed and sanctioned. And so Galatzin lived among the 'hibetans ��� studied their arts and sciences profound���learned to love the people of his adopted country���a country which he avers approaches in love of the arts and sciences, encouragement of physical grace and beauty, and high morality Greece in her palmy days of greatness. Much of the history, intermixed with legendary lore of this artistic white race in the Himilayan fastnesses, prince Galatzin learned through his beautiful and highly accomplished wife, to whom he was devotedly attached. He was happy with her and among "her people, he declared, yet still he could not forget the very truly western impulse to tell the world" best known to himself his great discoveries, and so his troubles "recommenced when he intimated his intention of returning beyond the great valley of his own land and his own people, to the enjoyment of his own scientific and philosophical exploration.- At first he merely hinted at the possibility of his return; the suggestion excited so many indications of resentment that he forbore. Then he began very cautiously but systematically to prepare for a secret departure, only to find when his plans had been matured that the inquisition system of espionage of whose intricacies he had but guessed the merest fraction had long before laid bare all his intentions to those determined to thwart them. His friends and dear ones in his Thibetan home suffered at once the penalty of his indiscretion; he himself only succeeded in making his way back into the world of the barbarians after such adventures as singly turn white the hair and shake the reign of reason. Even the tortures that later were meted out to Savage-Landor in the same little known world were in some respects accentuated to try to mettle of him who had twice tempted all the anger of the gods of an ancient people. Those were the experiences that prince Galatzin cared not to discuss in after days.

A right arm severed at the shoulder��� the marks of crucifixion spikes through ���the left hand suggested one incident of the escape in which two dread years were occupied. . And when the Chinese coast���Hongkong-Yokohama���and Vancouver in turn were reached it was to find that the world���even his world, the world of science-^-had so changed, that he and his previous services were all forgotten. Publishers doubted if there would be "sale" for so fantastic a chapter as he had to offer, unless it was presented as "fiction." This he declined in scorn to* assent to, and those to whom he told while here the skeleton of his wierd and gruesome past have since been waiting the translation into English of one short work out of the riches of his Thibetan experiences which was given to St. Petersburg in the Russian in 1894. A year or so later there came a rumor that the little volume had been suppressed by the Russian government. The Russian government doesn't usually give detailed explanations as to why it "suppresses" either books or men. And then a lapse of years, and this short paragrph, carelessly prepared for careless readers of the Associated Press.

Discussing trie Treaty VIENNA, February 13.���The Anglo- Japanese treaty of alliance is the feature of today's news in the Austrian newspapers, and Russia's probable action is widely discussed. Tho concensus of opinion among those who are generally in touch with Russian views is that the militant Muscovites will endeavor to revenge themselves by stirring up disorders in Afghanistan, while the Russian government will lie low awaiting the moment when Papan, having organized the military forces of China, will join hands with the latter and drive out all Europeans with the exception of the Russians, who by that time will occupy an impregnable position in Manchuria. Some of the papers affect to see in the treaty, at the time when prince Henry of Prussia is starting for the United States, "Great Britain's reply to Germany's approach- ment with the United States." QBE AT NORTHERN SYSTEM. There will be a general meeting of the members of the curling club this evening at the board of trada rooms for the purpose of selecting rinks to attend the annual bonspiel of the Kootenay Curling Association at Sandon, from the 17th to the 22nd Instant. A sleighing party, composed of sixteen young people of the city, drove out to the residence of S. E. Oliver on Wednesday evening, about a mile and a half out of the city on the government road recently- opened up wesL of the city. The evening was spent in games and dancing. A couple of games of curling were played at the, rink yesterday. The game in the afternoon was: Brown, Miller, J. F. Weir! Richardson (skin), 12; Astley, Watchorn, Beer, Carrie (skip), 8. The game in the evening was: Shaw, McPliorson, Bunyan, Morrison, Richardson (skip), 9; Deacon, Dover, Fletcher, Turner, Cameron (skip), fi. An alarm of fire was sounded about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. The blaze .was located In the roof of the Chinese laundry on Victoria street, opposite the city hall. The department soon had a stream of water playing and in less than five minutes the fire was extinguished. At the time the fire broke out there being thirteen or fourteen Celestials sleeping in the building. CANADIAN BANE OF COMMERCE The annual statement of" the Canadian Bank of Commerce, ;\vh(ch-appears in another column, will be pleasant reading to tlie many .shareholders scattered throughout the several provinces of the Dominion. The statement speaks for itself, but in connection with it a summary of the remarks of president Cox, in moving its adoption at the last annual meeting, will not be out of place: "Before discuss!!*--- the re*>ort of the di- LEAVE Depot 9:10 a.m Mount'in 10:30 a.m. DaUy LEAVE Kaslo 7 a.m. Nelson 6:00 p. m.

Nelson 10:30 a.m. Daily rectors which has just been laid before you you -will permit me to express my very great regret at not having been present at the last annual meeting. My absence, as the vice-president explained, was unavoidable, and you can readily understand my disappointment at not taking part on an occasion of such unusual importance. At that time the results of the steps we had taken in amalgamating the Bank of British Columbia were explained, and I am sure that you all felt that our course had been amply justified. In addition, however, to that large and exceptional transaction we had to report a year of prosperity and .'lahdsome earnings. Owing to the change in the date of the annual meeting, we now have only a period six months to account for; but you will be gUid to see by the statement in your hands that our growth and prosperity have continued, as tlie profits of $4rl,5!)o for the six months amply demonstrate. Our deposits keep up the steady growth of recent years, at May 31st they were 518,001,59^, at November 30th the-^.were *51,- 0V9.3C5, showing a growth "in six months of i*3,G*M,7G6. Our note circulation has largely increased, but a comparison between iiOth of November and 31st of May is not instructive. At the latter date our circulation was $5,446,773; on 30th of November it was $7.2fifi,2f,i*. an increase of $1,819,493. But, as you know, this is the lime of year when the circulation is large, and the figures just shown are, therefore, misleading. Our circulation this autumn, however, reached a maximum of $7,711,000, and this is $941,- S10 higher than the maximum joint circulation of the Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Bank of British Columbia during the previous year. "The increasing responsibilities devolving upon the executive officers will be more clearly realized when I remind you that at the close of 188? (the year in which the present general manager entered upon his duties) our total assets were less than $20,- 000,000, while at the present time they are over $70,000,000. Our deposits have grown during- the same period from less than $10,- 000,000 to over J��1,000,000; and our circulation from less than $2,500,000 to over $7,000,000. Our total number of branches in 1887 was 33, while they arc now 07; and with the exception of Monteral and New York, all of the former wore located in the province of Ontario, whereas at present, as you all know, we have branches tn British Columbia, California, Washington Territory and Oregon on tho Pacific coast, the Yukon territory in the north, and London, England, in the east; all of which ontails much additional labor and responsibility upon our executive officers, and to them we are much indebted for thnir constant care and attention to the inteiests of the bank." To Stamp Out Small Fox CHICAGO, February 13.���Every employee of every railroad entering Chicago from the president to the messenger boy, will be vaccinated between now and Monday or lose his position. Every car which arrives in the city from every direction will be subjected to fumigation for six hours under the directions of the health department of the. city before other passengers are allowed to enter It. The precautions were agreed upon at a meeting of the general managers of the railroads entering Chicago. The Chicago & Alton railroad and the Illinois Central began to put them into effect yesterday. The other roads will begin today. All will continue the measures until the smallpox epidemic, which is raging the Northwest and the Mississippi valley states, shall be stamped out. . JeffrieB and "Denver" Martin PORTLAND, February 13.���At a meeting of the managers of the Pastime Club of this city yesterday, it was decided to offer a purse of $15,000 for a 20 round contest between champion Jeffries and "Denver" Ed Martin, the contest^'o take place sometime in May. A certified check will be deposited by the club as a guarantee of good faith on the acceptance of the proposition by both men. Insurgents Sought Protection PANAMA, Colombia, February 13.���The Colombian government fleet which' left Panama yesterday morning, met the insurgent warship Padilla olt Agua Dulce at (j o'clock and fought her for an hour. The government gunboat Boyaca was struck and slightly damaged. The Padilla was hit three times and sought protection from the insurgent guns ashore. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to H. BYERS & CO.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-02-14 |
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. |
