IHILIPPINO WAR HAS DISCLOSED VERY FEW INSTANCES OF RETALIATION WASHINGTON, February 19.-���Rescinding to an inquiry from senator pdge, the secretary of war sent to him large number of papers bearing upon e charge that cruelty is practised by ;e American troops on the natives of e Philippines. Senator Lodge pres- lted the documents in the senate, inong the documents forwarded are l5ie records of thirteen investigations such charges and the secretary says iat every report or charge of this dis- iption which has at any time been rought to the notice of the war detriment, has been made the subject of ���ompt investigation. He adds that in ibstantially every case inquired into, ie report has proved to be either unfunded or grossly exaggerated, lie iso says the department is now en- ���ged in conducting an investigation ito the charge made in the senate last eek that the "water cure" is the favor- e torture of the American soldiers, id especially of the Macabebec scouts, i force the natives to give information, id ���y--at a soldier who was with general unsioii had stated that he had helped ' administer "water cure" to 160 naves, all but 20 of whom had died. He telosed a copy of a letter received from -neral Funston, dated February 2nd, 102, in which he declares the statement to be an "atrocious lie without the ightest foundation in fact," and also letter from lieutenant Bafson, the jmmander of the Macabebee scouts ; the same effect. Presenting the other side of the pic- ire, secretary Root says: "The war on ���ie part of the Filipinos has been convicted with barbarous cruelty, common among uncivilized races, and with oneral disregard to tlie rules of civil- ed warfare. They deliberately adopted the policy of killing all natives, how- ver peaceful, who were friendly to our overnment, and in thousands of in- tances these poor creatures dependent tpon our soldiers for protection, have een assassinated. The Filipino troops have frequently J-.red upon our men from under the pro- ection of* flags of truce, tortured them 'o death when taken prisoners, or bur- ed them alive, both Americans and riendly natives, and horribly mutilated he bodies ���'of the American dead. That ���Vldicrs fighting against such an enemy, ���id , with their, own eyes witnessing '"uchS deeds should occasionally be regardless of_their order and retaliate by nijustiflable severity is not incredible. 3uch things happen in every war between two civilized nations. That such occurrences have been sanctioned or permitted is not true. A constant and effective pressure of prohibi- ion, precept and discipline has been maintained against them. That there has been any such practice is not true. Tli^^aMs^lffive^beeh^few^and^far^be- tween, scattered infrequently 'over a great area of country, and along the course of three years of conflict, through thousands of engagements, and among many thousands of troops. The war in the Philippines has been conducted by the American army with scrupulous regard for the rules of civilized warfare, with genuine consideration for the pris- ner and the non-combatant, with self- restraint and with humanity never surpassed, if ever equalled, in any conflict, worthy of praise and reflecting credit upon Ihe American people. BRITISH COLUMBIA REFINERY Philippino's Want Independence WASHINGTON, February 19.���Among lather questions pertaining to tho l-'liil- lirpines discussed by governor Taft to- Riiay in his testimony before the senate fccomniittee on the Philippines, was the lattitud-*, of the different religious sets Stoward one another. He said that gen- len.l.y th<* relationship is friendly and Ithat the e\ angelical churches were seek- ping to secure a foothold in the islands, all*' ieply to questions he said that, from ��2r, to 50 persons had been deported from ithe Philippines and that they were all I3eut tc Guam by military authorities [because they are considered irrescon- Jcili'ables, whose presence was injurious. IHe said that so far as the Philippine ad- Ivocates of independence had expressed (themselves all of them desired that the (.���United States should continue its pro- f'tectioE of the islands, in other words, Ithey wanted independence with a Unit- fed States protectorate. Liverpool Bank Frauds LONDON, February 19.���On the re- | sumption of the hearing of the charges growing out of the bank of Liverpool frauds today the defence was commenced with an examination of "Dick" ��� Burge, the pugilist, ono of the accused men. He testified that he made ��30,000 from boxing during the last ten years; that ho had known Lawrie Marks, the missing bookmaker for IS months and that he advanced him ��250 in October last, on the understanding that they were to divide the profits of Marks' business. Subsequently Marks informed .the witness that James Mances, an Am- eiieasi bookmaker, had a rich friend in j Liverpool and suggested that he, Burge, go there with Mances, and a lot of mon- ��� Corner Stcne Laid at Trail The corner stone of the lead refinery in connection with the Canadian Smelting works plant at Trail has been laid, and active construction work is under way. It had been the intention of the smelter town to celebrate the formal inauguration! of the new industry with a demonstration, incluling a band and speeches by the civic authorities and others, but this Was abandoned in favor of a similar ceremony later in the year, when the actual refining of lead is commenced. The Trail people regard the enterprise with keen interest, 'and are not a little proud of the fact that the flrst lead refinery on Canadian soil is to be erected in their city. The plant will be located on the grounds of and within a comparatively short distance of the main plant. Refinery and smelter will be connected by an electric tramway over which,the product of the furnaces will be conveyed for the final treatment in the refinery. It is difficult at this time to predict with any measure of accuracy when the refinery will bo in actual operation. The, company originally intended to start refining lead about May 15th, but as some time has been lost in commencing work on the buildings and the weather conditions at this season of the year and for the next few. months are somewhat unstable, the date of the opening of the refinery must be postponed a couple of months to be within the zone of safety. The necessary machinery is being manufactured for the Canadian Smelting Works in the east, and' much depends upon the speed with which the plant is delivered by the manufacturers. The plant now under way. at Trail is intended principally as an experiment. If it is demonstrated that the refining of lead obtained from ores mined within the Dominion can be done profitably, the business is to be extended by tbe construction of plants at other' points, probably Nelson, an East Kootenay point, or the coast. All these features depend in Jargs,measures..-on the success met with in connection with the plant on which construction work has just heen started. In the inauguration of the refining industry at Trail which leads the boards of trade at various points to recommend the central organization of Associated Boards to urge upon the federal government the necessity of placing such tariff restrictions upon the importation of lead products as will afford the Canadian lead producer a market for the refined products of his ores. The contention is that when the present lead tariff was framed there were neither pig lead nor refined lead products produce in Canada, and that since pig lead is now produced in much larger quantity than the consumption of the entire Dominion, and the refining of lead is about to be introduced, the government should take steps to afford the lead industry protection on the basis of the protection afforded similar industries. This question will be gone into at the Kaslo convention on the 26th instant.���Rossland MinferT"^"*1^^* ���Brandon Blaze BRANDON, February 10.���The Kelly house, on Gth street, was damaged by fire early this morning to the extent of $600 or ?G00. ABout 4 a. m. the rear of line building was discovered to be on fire by some young men loturning home from a party. The fire brigade was soon on the scene. Had it. i<ot been for the promptness of the brigade, the whole house might have heen destroyed as a keen westerly wind was blowing the flames against the body of the building. As it was the kitchen and bedrooms above were badly burned and damaged by water. The loss is covered by insurance. Fire is supposed to have originated in a burning chimney. She Is She, Is Not WASHINGTON, February 19.���The state department's advices concerning Miss Stone indicate that the Paris publication to the effect that she had been set at liberty is to say the least, premature. It is gathered, however, from rc-j-orts of the United States diplomatic agents that the woman ia likely to be released very soon and that the delay is explained by the requirement of the origands that they be given ample op- pi nuiiity to ensure their own safety. Arrest of a Jewel Thief MONTREAL, February 19.���Charles Savage, alias Will West, alias John Scott, who is wanted in Portland, Oregon, for stealing a trunk containing $10,000 in jewelry, was arrested here this afternoon on an extradition warrant issued by the Pinkerton detective agency. Strange Disappearance ST. JOHN, New Brunswick, February 19.���Miss Emma Sullivan 35 years old, disappeared from her home in a blinding snow storm on Monday night and has not been seen since. Embezzled $178 000 HELENA, February 19.���A special to thf* Independent from Great Falls, Montana, says that n. H. Matteson, who in January confessed to embezzling $75,000 from the First National Bank while acting as cashier, is now alleged to have taken $178,000, his operations extending over three years. The statement was made at a meeting of the bank directors yesterday and another complaint was sworn out against Matteson, who was out on $5000 bail, whose bail has_ been increased to $15,000. Matteson was not found guilty until late last night. He could not furnish tho new bond and he will probably be taken to Helena jail. The bank officers became convinced that Matteson was preparing to leave and that was the principal reason for having him arrested on a second charge and having the bail increased. APPEAL DEFUSED Change of Policy Predicted LONDON, February 13.���Rumor is again current that the chancellor of the exchequer has been tempted into contemplating countervailing duties on bounty-fed sugar. Officials, however, keep the closest secrecy as to that, and also as to the suggested preference lor colonial grain and timber. The Westminster Gazette's cartoon' today depicts Chamberlain and sir Michael Hicks- Beach skating together. Hicks-Beach soys: "Take care, Joe, isn't that a danger notice?" Chamberlain replies, "No, its all right, it's labelled" protection." The Birmingham post, commonly called Chamberlain's organ, repeats on what is calls "high authority" that assertion that the Canadian government has decided to lay a caDle across the Atlantic to facilitate the transmission of Anglo-Canadian news and promote commerce; The cable companies say that anything less than two cables would be useless. SMELTER DEAL COMPLETED Will Increase Boundary's Output GREENWOOD, February 19.���[Special to The Tribune.]���It is announced here today that the deal which has been pending for several weeks between the Montreal-Boston Copper Company, owning the Sunset and Crown Silver mines, and. the Standard Pyritic Smelting Company, for the purchase of the latter's smelter at Boundary Falls, has been completed.

PRESIDENT'S FINDING IS PUBLISHED SAYS IN EFFECT THAT NEITHER SAMPSON OB SCHLEY DID VERYMUOH WASHINGTON, February 19.���President Roosevelt's memorandum upon the appeal of admiral Schley was made public today. It says in part; "I have received the appeal of admiral Schley, and the answer thereto from the navy department. I have examined both with the utmost care, as well as the preceding appeal to the secretary of the navy. I have read through ail the testimony taken before the court, and the statements of the counsel for admirals Sampson and Schley. I have examined all the official reports' of every kind in reference to the Santiago naval campaign, copies of the log books and signal books and the testimony before the court of claims, and have also personally had before me the four surviving captains of the five ships/aside from those of the two admirals, which were actively engaged at Santiago. "It appears that the court of inquiry was unanimous in its findings of fact, and unanimous in its expressions of opinion on most of its findings of fact. No appeal is made to me from the verdict of the court.on.these points where it was unanimous. I have, however, gone carefully over the evidence on these points also, I am satisfied that on the whole, the court did substantial justice. It should have specifically condemned the failure to enforce an efficient night blockade at Santiago, while admiral Schley was in command. On the other hand I feel that there is a reasonable doubt whether he did not move his spuadron with sufficient expedition from port to port. The court is a unit in condemning admiral Schley's action on the point where it seems to me he most gravely erred, his "retrograde" movement," when he abandoned the blockade, arid his ^disobedience of orders and misstatements ot "fact in relation thereto. It should be remembered, however, that the majority of these actions which the court censures, occurred Ave weeks or more before the fight itself, and it certainly seems that if admiral Schley's action were censurable he should not have been left as second in command under admiral Sampson. "The point raised in the appeal is between admiral Sampson and admiral Schley, as to which was in command, and as to which was entitled to the credit, if. either of them was really entitled to any unusual and preeminent credit by any special exhibition of genius, skill and courage. The court could have considered both of these questions, but as a matter of fact, it unanimously excluded evidence offered upon them, and, through its president, announced its refusal to hear admiral Sampson's side at all, and in view of such exclusion, the majority of the court acted with entire propriety in not 'expressing-any-opinion-on-these^points.^ The matter has, however, been raised by the president of the court. Moreover, it is the point upon which admiral Schley in his appeal lays most stress, and which he especially asks me to consider. I have therefore carefully investigated this matter also, and have informed myself upon it from the best sources of information at my command." The president~then quotes statements given at various times by the commanders of the five ships, other than the flagships of the two admirals,, which were actively engaged in the fight. Summing up. he says: "The question of command is in this case nominal and technical. Admiral Sampson's ship, the New York, was seen at the outset of the fight from all other ships except the Brooklyn. Four of these five captains have testified that they regarded him as present, and in command. He signalled, "close )n," to the fleet, as soon as the first Spanish ship appeared, but his signal was not seen by any American vessel. He was actually under fire from the forts, and himself fired a couple of shots, at the close of the action with the tor- pelo boats,, in addition to signalling the Indiana, just at the close of the action. But during the action not a single order from him was received by any of the ships that were actively engaged." add Schley "Admiral Schley at the outset of the action hoisted the two signals of "clear ship," and "close in" which was simply carrying out the standing orlers of admiral Sampson as to what should be done if the enemy's ships attempted to break out of the harbor. Until after the "close of the first portion of the fight, at the mouth of the harbor, and until after he had made his loop, and the Spanish ships were fleeing to the westward, not another Anmerican ship notices a signal from him. When the western pursuit had begun, the Oregon, and the Oregon only, noticed that he repeated one of his signals of command. The captain of the Oregon then regarded him as in command, but did not in any shape or way execute any movement or any action of any kind whatsoever in accordance with any order from him. "In short, the question as to which of the two men, admiral Sampson or admiral Schley, was in command at the time, is merely nominal in character. Technically admiral Sampson commanded the fleet, and admiral Schley, as usual the western division. The actual fact, the important fact, is that after the battle was commenced not a helm was, shifted, not a gun was fired, not a pound of steam was put on in the engine room aboard any ship, actively engaged, In obedience to the order of either Sampson or Schley, save on their own two vessels. "It was a captain's fight Therefore the credit to wnich each of the two is entitled rest on matters apart from the claim of nominal command over the squadron; for so far as the actual fight was concerned, neither one of the other in fact exercised any command. Sampson was hardly more than technically in the fight. His real claim for credit rests upon his work as commander-in- chief; upon the excellence of the blockade; upon the preparedness of the squadron; upon the arrangement of the ship's head-on-on a semf-ctrcle around the harbor; and the standing orders in accordance with which they instantly moved to the attack of the Spaniards when the latter appeared. For all these things the credit is his. "Admiral Schley is rightly entiled, as is captain Cook, to the credit of what the Brooklyn did in the fighting. On! the whole she did well; but I agree with the unanimous finding of the three admirals who composed the court of inquiry as to the "loop." It seriously marred the Brooklyn's otherwise ex-> cellent record, being in fact, the one grave mistake by any American ship that day. "Under such cicumstances, it seems to me that the recommendations of president McKinley were eminently proper, and, that so far as admirals Sampson and Schley are concerned, it would have been unjust for him to have made other recommendations. Personally- i feel that in view of captain Clark's long voyage in the Oregon, and the condition in which he brought her to the scene of service, as well as the way in which he actually managed her before and during the fight, it would have been well to have given him the same advance-.- ment that was given Wainwright. But waiving this, it is evident that Wainwright was entitled to receive more than any of the other commanders, and that it was just to admiral Sampson that he should receive a greater advancement in numbers than admiral Schley. There was nothing done in the battle that warranted any unusual reward for either. In short, as regards admirals Sampson and Schley, I find that president McKinley did substantial justice, and there would be no warrant for reversing his action. "Both admiral Sampson and admiral Schley are now on the retired list. In concluding.this report,the members of the court of inquiry, admirals Dewey, Benham and Ramsay, unite in stating that they recommend that no further,1 action be taken in the matter. With this recommendation I most heartily concur. There is no excuse whatever, from either side, for any further agitation of this unhappy controversy. To keep it alive would merely do damage to the navy and to the country." THE BOY WAS BURIED ALIVE Victim of Indian Superstition SEATTLE, February 19.���The steamer Dirigo, which arrived from Alaska yesterday, brings news that the Chil- koot Indians near Haine's mission, Alaska, on February 5th, buried alive one of their tribe, a boy 15 years of age. The boy had been converted to Christianity Jjy^Miic^A. Sellon, a Methodist_mission- ary, and in a burst of religious zeal de- nounced the mummeries of the tribal Icht, or medicine man. This act aroused the anger of the superstitious old men of the tribe. Recently 14 native residents of the village of Kluckwan died of consumption and Icht spread the belief that the boy was in league with the evil one through his knowledge of the white man's religion and caused the deaths. The disappearance of the boy from school aroused the suspicions of Mr. Sellon and he started in search of him. At the outskirts of the village he found tracks leadiig to a fresh grave. Digging down he found the boy still alive, his bloodshot eyes rolling in in- spnc* agony, his hair torn off in handfuls from his head. His finger nails were tern off in his efforts to escape from his horrible prison. The boy was lifted from the grave and carried to the village, where he lived for several hours, howling and crying out like a maniac, finally dying from the effect of suffering and the fright. The Icht who is responsible for the crime is Skun Doo. an old offender, who spent a term in San Quen- tin penitentiary for causing an old woman to be starved to death in 1894. Supply Americans With Arsenic TORONTO, February 19.���Ontario is able, so far as raw material is concerned, to produce arsenic enough for all America, and this will be done if the bounty on the production is granted, says .Joseph James, of Hastings, who is acting in the interest of foreign capitalists. A bounty of $12,000 is asked from the provincial and $24,000 from the Dominion government. Should these be granted a plant capable of turning out 2,282,400 tons of arsenic annually will be put into operation immediately. Blacksmith Shop Burned FREDERiCTON, New Brunswick, February 1!).���Emery Sewell's blacksmiths shop at Upper Madgeville, was destroyed by fire early yesterday morning, tlie loss being $5000. No insurance. Interesting Liquor Case WASHINGTON, February 19.���The treasury department has decided a case involving the light of a citizen of the United States to import whiskey from Canada in certain sized packages. Canada prohibits the importation of whiskey in casks of a less capacity than. 100 gallons. The tariff act of the United States, approved July 24th, 1897, provides that any spirituous liquors imported into the United States in any 'packages, or from any country under whose laws similar sized packages are denied into the country, shall be forfeited to the United States. This means that Americans who desire to import Canadian whiskey for their own consumption must bring it in in hundred gallon casks. WANTS HAHMHY MEETING OF COMMITTEE OF THIRTY-SIX A COURT MARTIAL ORDERED For Surprised British Officials NEW* YORK, February 19.���A special cable to a morning paper from London says: "General Kitchener's details'of the operations In South Africa during January are published today ln the official gazette. Referring to the Tweefonteln mishap he says a court of Inquiry was held on the affair, which In my opinion was not satisfactorily covered by the explanations put forward. Considering the warnings this force received directing them to be on the alert, and the preparations made by them to meet a night attack,' seem, as far as1 I can judge, at present, to have been most defective." Incidentally general Kitchener mentions that major Colenbrander met a party of natives under chief Llnchwe, 2000 strong, marching In an endeavor to recapture the stock which had been stolep. the previous month by commandant Kemp. As there were Boer women and children In the neighborhood, deplorable results might have occurred. Major Colenbrander ordered the natives to return, and they obeyed, much to the relief of the Boer families scattered in the district. To People Palestine LONDON, February 19.���Leaders of the Zionist movement anticipate Important developments as a result of the visit of Dr. Theodore Herzel of Vienna, founder of the Zionist movement and president ��� of the Zionist congress, recently held at Basle, Switzerland.

Dr. Herzel's demands include a charter granting some simple form of home rule and opening the sultan's crown lands tot:Jewish colonization. A representative of the Jewish colonization association, which was endowed by the late baron Hirsch with a large sum of money, is also.at Constantinople, which Is taken to signify that the trustees of the baron Hlrsch funds are about to concentrate their resources on Palestine. It Pays to be Courteous CHICAGO, February 19.���Lleweln Mason, a conductor on the Chicago & Alton railway, has just received assurance that courtesy to the travelling public sometimes has Its reward.

What disposition is to be made of the Nelson public library? This was. the chief question discussed at the annual meeting of the association last evening. That the library is appreciated by the citizens was shown by the reports submitted, but it developed during the course of the meeting that several of those who have been instrumental in keeping the institution going for the past three years"would like to shift their responsibility. Suggestions under this head were numerous. One was that the city council should be induced to take the library over. Another was that an effort should be made to. tap Mr. Carnegie. Each of these suggestion were discarded, however. With respect to Ihe jSrst there was little hope held out; that the members of the city council could be induced to go into the library business, 'that is for the present. As to the easier method, that of appealing to Mr. Carnegie, it found few supporters, the general opinion seing that if the local library could not be maintained, without Hying distress signals to the steel king, that it had better be shut up. There was one other suggestion, and it will probably be acted upon. There is an effort being made by the membership of the several churches in tlie city to organize an undenominal Y. M. C. A., and it was suggested that such association when completed should take over the library and realing rooms. Obtaining these as a going and well-patronized concern the Y. M. C. A. would only have to obtain a proper gymnasium, with baths attached. The amalgamated��� concern, thus complete, would prove an undoubted success. This step is a practical one and would relieve the directors of the library of their onerous task. of British Columbia, who are protesting against Mr. Hill's methods, would do any different if they occupied the same commanding position, cut. it is generally, recognized in British Columbia, though it apparently has not dawned upon some of the people of eastern Canada, that the prosperity of this province as,a whole'should be of greater concern to the government at Ottawa than the successful operation of Mr. Hill's railway, systems in the United States. If the men who constitute the government at Ottawa will give the smelters of southern British Columbia the advantages of competition in the purchase of their fuel supplies, the people of British Columbia have assurances of cheaper coke. They desire this *'cheaper coke because none know better than they how important reductions in the cost of smelting are in the development of their great mineral resources. 'At the present time the only available supply of coke for smelting purposes is. controlled by an individual whose business interests prompt him to promote smelting south of the international boundary rather than in British Columbia. It is in the power of the, federal government to bring into being, upon terms of its own, a coal company whose interests will lie in the direction of encouraging home smelting. The question is simply, under -which condition will the mining and smelting industries of British Columbia profit most? MORLEY &LAIM B00KSELLEES AND STATI0NEBS BAKEK 8TREK,T. NELSON. B. V. Showrooms Mason & Rifoa Pianos. The eastern papers appear to know all about the Crow's Nest Coal Company and its management. It is now denied in the east that James J. Hill has a controlling interest in tne company. Whether a majority of the stock of the Crow's Nest Coal Company stands in the name .of James J. Hill at present does not materially affect the people of southern British Columbia. What they complain of is that James J. Hill controls the policy of the Crow's Nest Coal Company, and that owing to the fact that Mr. Hill's interests are all south of the international boundary line, he as a good business man makes his greater interests his chief consideration, and that through the operation of this very excellent business rule, our mining and smelting industries are discriminated against in favor of mining and smelting interests south of the international boundary line. Nor is it likely that any of the mine-owners or smelter managers British Columbia suffers from, the indifference of the people of the other provinces, and no portion of it more than the mining districts. Aside from the; knowledge that its shore line constitutes the terminus of; the Canadian Pacific railway, and that some people of Toronto and Montreal lost money in Rossland wild-catting and stock gambling, very little is kno-arn in the east of British Columbia or its possibilities.. This condition is peculiarly unfortunate at a time when' British Columbia requires the co-operation of the other provinces in the framing of legislation "calculated-to-promote^its-deyelopihehtr If, in its effort to secure the cheapest possible coke for its smelting industry, British Columbia could count upon even the interest of the people of the east, the issue would not remain very long in doubt. A condition which requires a province, with but six representatives in a house of over two hundred, to combat unaided powerful corporate interests for every concession it receives, is not conductive to rapid development. It is this condition which threatens more seriously than enything else the successful, issue of the present demand for consideration for British Columbia's mining and smelting industries. NEW LEADER FOR TAMMANY Lotus Nixon's Previous Record When New York woke up on the morning of January 23rd and found that, as the Sun put it, Richard Croker had veritably leparted Wantageward; it rubbed its eyes and turned a concentrated gaze upon its untried successor in the seat of the mighty, and Lewis Nixon found himself famous or at least the most talked of man in New York. As is_ the wont of our metropolitan newspapers with their complexities of political complexion, there was a medley of comment, when the news emanated from Tammany hall that Croker had resigned, and opinions expressed about the clubs and at the city hall were equally diverse. Many of those whose utterances are usually listened to attentively, openly scouted the idea that Croker had gone for good. They pointed to his past record, to his previous prima donna, positively-the-last-appear- tince methods in 1894, and to the fact that he promptly re-apeared when the star of political hope again beamed brightly over Tammany. The Herald prefaced its account of the resignation with the couplet: When the devil was sick, the devil a monk would be. When the devil got well, the devil a monk was he. And even those papers which nominally accepted the statements of Mr. Cro ker in good faith, hedged with unobstu- sive, but damnatory, "ifs" and "perhaps." Mr. Nixon, however, seems to have no doubt but what his is sole helm- man: of the Tammany bark. He briskly took possession of the well-worn desk at Tammany hall which John Kelly used and from which Mr. Nixon's immediate predecessor has laid down the law to the motley crowd of visitors for many years, and in his salutatory speech he said: "I will not" take an executive position and be a mere figure-head." There is something of a contrast between the careers of Richard Croker and Lewis Nixon. The former is now fifty- eight years old; he was born in Ireland, his father being a blacksmith, and afterward an employee of the Harlem car stables; his education was derived solely from the public schools, and in the streets and political headquarters of New York city. -He has been a factor to be reckoned with the Tammany hall for twenty years. On the other hand, Lewis Nixon is but forty years of age, and in his veins runs some of the bluest blood of old Virginia (a fact that has already been thrown up to him by opposers in Tammany less gently bred , his father being a colonel in the state militia, and his 'mother belonging to a well-known old family. Mr. Nixon graduated from Annapolis in ISS^at the head of his class, thence lie went to England, where he pursued a special course in ordnance, architecture, and engineering in tne Royal Naval college at Greenwich. On his 'return to this country he assisted in building some of the first of our modern'vessels of war, the Chicago, Boston- and! Atlanta, the later designed and made plans for the peerless Oregon. In his ! ship-yard at Elizabethtown, New Jersey, the new Tammany leader employs over eight hundred men. His first active connection with politics dates back only about four years. Mr. Nixon's profession, by the wa>, is concerned in a rather charming bit of romance. Some twenty years ago, at an Annapolis ball, he met and danced with a demure and pretty Florida girl named Sallie Wood. In the course of the; conversation she told him that she thought, the government ought to name oj'.e; oFTts" vessels, for her native state of Florida. With the masculine generosity in promises he assured her that her' lightest word was law, and that it should be so "even if he had to build the-ship himself." His promise was fulfilled when the monitor Florida was ���launched a few years ago from the Nixon ship-yards, and christened by Mrs. Lewis Nixon (nee Wood). There is no question but 'hat the honorable Lewis Nixon had a hard row to hoe. Defeat has made many a gap in the! once solid Tammany ranks, and' there is hardly a district without some unplastered sore which demands skillful i attention from headquarters. The announced intention is that every district in town shall be visited, and a vigorous and defined policy of reconciliation will be pursued. ^_ ^^t=th1^'Pres01ub"banWet^at_D'elmbn'=" ico's the other night, Mr. Nixon responded to "Abe" Grueher's facetious auestion: "Does the man who holds the, tiller own the cargo?" with, "The man who holds' the tiller and steers a straight course delivers his crew and cargo where he wants them," which surely has a brave and determined sort of a ring. By the way, sir Thomas Lipton's regrets were, in my opinion, cleverer than anything anybody said at the banquet. His cablegram was short and to the point: "I am very sorry am unable to join in shifting ballast with you tonit-ht. Expect you will require all time allowance on home run. Wish you successful function, jolhest of evenings. Will toast your health in the best cup I can lift on this side." Though the speech from the head c. Tammany was given by far the closes-, attention of any Press club aJd.es-s, it was by no means the cleverco', a*id, in fact, Mr. Nixon is not regard ii as- that sort of a man. Everybody adnvl'i that he is bright, straighlfqrwnrj, and a man of honor, but there are few who seem to have implicit confidence in his ability to put Tammany on its feet, and bring victory to the organization. Apropos of the pi'oposal to "reform" Tammany a pert question is going the rounds: "Can the ��� tiger change his stripes as easily as his head?" "We want to find out just where we are at," said a member of the Tammany hall general committee one evening last week as he walked up the steps of the big red building in East Fourteenth street. There was a meeting of the general committee of Tammany, in which the last election and its disastrous results were discussed and plans were formed for an effort co- gain a victory at the next election. Tho Tammanyites all said that they recovered from "that dazed feeling" caused by tho crushing defeat last fall of the wigwam of the fusionists, and announced themselves ready to make another fight when tho time comes. Besides the regular members of the general committee who were present, there were in attendance many men who are prominent in the inner circles of Tammany. Congressman William Sulzer was the chief sppaker of the evening, and he gave an exhaustive history of the organization. The speaker prefaced his address with ' *���* Fred Irvine & Go. to Just received a large assortment of ladies' and childrens' night dresses, enemies and drawers, corset covers white skirts, infant and children's dresses.

Continuing, Mr. Sulzer told of the origin, evolution and present development of Tammany hall, beginning with the genesis of the name and ending with comment on existing conditions in the orgaizatioh. Referring to the purpose for which Tammany hall was founded, the speaker said: "The object was not to afford relief to indigent and distressed members of the association." The organization was incorporate! in 1805, and its inception was apotheozised by the orator in the.following words: "Tammany drew its first inspiration from the revolution. It stands today, and has ever stood, for all that great struggle accomplished. ' Its mission is human liberty, its cause the right' of man." Mr. Sulzer told his audience that two weeks after George Washington took the oath of office as the first president of the United States Tammany hall was brought into being. He spoke of the illustrious membership of the succeeding years and! referred" to the great national characters that had been its f'lfnds. : "Andrew Jackson���the hero of New Orleans���loved Tammany," said Mr. Sul- zei. He sat by its council fires and diew from its teachings the inspiration to defy the monopoly of the United States bank, to destroy nullification and ��� to r leserve the union and the constitution." The speaker then dwelt upon the Tammany infuence in national politics, and referred to its loyalty to the union during the rebellion period. It had always stood, he,said for the rights KOOTENAY....

It recognizes honest ecort, appreciates ability and rewards industry. "My friends, in our leader, Mr. Nixon, we have an honest, a fearless, an intrepid chieftain.

A Story Prom the Slums Chl ��� chi ��� tewl ��� wi ��� wl ��� wit ��� chi nlii��� chi voices innumerable mingled In a bewildering medley ot sound, and two violet eyes opened upon the flood of golden sunshine. Slowly they wandered from the pink roses on the wall to the curtains at the windows and down to the greon and brown carpet on the iloor. Gee whiz! I've struck it rich, I have," jilpctl a weak, childish voice. The lifting of tho latch changed the expression of wondering admiration to one of sharp questioning. Miss Hope Ray opened the door a little way and looked In, pushed it back further and stepped" into the apartment. "Good morning, little boy," she said in a hearty, breezy tone, "1 guess you are most starved by this time, aren't you?" "Yes, I be," repiied the dinumitive voice whoso head appeared above the white co u n terpane. "Did the birds wake you up?"' "Uunno." "You were so tired and sleepy last night that 1 didn't ask you your name. Won't you tell me now?" "Pole." "What else?" ��� J'ete. *ju-;' Pete." '���What's your father's name?" "Ole Pete." 'Ms that all?" "Dunno," Pete paused for a moment, then burst out in a half defiant tone, ������When the cops was round thej* said they wa.s after William Peters, and Mike Regan said that was my old man." "Where is your father now?" "I'junno. Guess he's layin' low." The dark violet eyes glanced at Miss Ray furtively and then turned quickly away. ���" "Where is your mother?" "Hain't got none;.never had none." Miss Ray looked down on the thin, wizened face with its hard mouth and the close cropped head and the fanlike ears prominently flanking the bony cheeks. There was nothing suggestive of the winning innocence of childhood.- She turned away, reluctant to admit her dislike, but repelled in spite of herself. Every center of population, however small, has its contingent for whom the temptations of life are too strong or the difficulties of existence are too groat for its members to keep pace with its virtuous and thrifty fellow citizens. Farmingdale was no exception. It had its slums where the stragglers in the march of civilization congregated. In the hovels down by the river where poverty and shiftlessness flaunted their presence by unmistakable signs Miss Ray was a familiar presence. Sirs had often reached a helping hand to these faltering brothers and sisters and had learned to recognize the marks which Bin and suffering make on the human faces, but in all her experience she had not come in contact with anything so unlovely as this little creature she had taken under her roof. AVhat was the meaning of that Ishmael look? Was it an accusation? The slain Abel hajmUng_J^e^jwiJ^^^ ~5v.-arfe~d and embittered childhood? Was it a protest against social conditions that made these weak ones bear the brunt of the mistakes of their fellow-beings? Could she endure this continual reminder of the misery she could not relieve. Her cousin John's letter had not prepared her for this. She went down stairs and took it out again. Perhaps sho had not read between the lines and the chief thing in his letters was what ho sometimes left unsaid. New York, May 3rd.

"There," she said, half an hour later, ar she tucked a bed quilt under the arm of the Boston rocker and propped Pete back sc that he was just in line with the window, "vou're as snug as a bug in a rug. I am' going to leave you to watch my wonderful city." ', Pete looked out on the stretch of meadow ���Just bright with the first green of the yea* und at the mauve tinted hills beyond. "Humph' Ain't no city here. Guess the old girl is I>1 lifting." "Old girl"���that has just described Hope Ray The tiny wrinkles around the brigh* brown eves and the grey that showed here and there in the brown hair bore testimon*. io the passage of years, but tho dimple: that came and wont and the curves aroune* her winsome mouth and the rounded omi belonged to the springiime of life. Pete leaned back among the pillows. T: a dim way he recognized the beauty before him. The freshness, the bright coloring the breezy expanse, stirred his amused fac ulties, but to his untrained eyes these ha<: no meaning. He- did not know that, behlnr' Iho line of alders a little brook slippcc along its gurgling way over the stones nor that tiio patches of yellow in the grass SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rate three per cent. GRANGE V. HOLT, Manager Nelson Branch. were dandelions jubilant in the sunshine, nor that the wreaths of snow caught among the gren branches of-the trees were the blossoms of (lie dogwood. He coulel not te.-il that the black specks crawling back and forth across the hillside was a man plowing, nor that the sharp caw caw that came over the wide sweep was the crow that was cutting its dark course above the lields. Soon the wideness, the roominess tired him and he shut his eyes. Ciii ��� chl ��� chi ��� tewl ��� wi ��� wi ���wit chi ��� chi ��� chi vibrated through the room. The sharp stlccato notes were close beside him. He looked out again and his glance fell on the big pine by the side of the house. So close was it that it had escaped his notice. He did not see the wonderful beauty and symmetry of the old tree ris-' ing in gradual lines to a towering height, a perfect development from years of un- trummeled growth, nor the grace of its e:ono shaped upper branches outline against the blue sky as they bent beneficiently earthward. It was the numberless brownish gray bodies darting in and out between the level branches that caught bis eye. Those the city bred boy recognized. They were the same little creatures he had seen flut- tring down from the roofs and hopping about the pavements; the same, yet in their new environment they seemed different. Tha freedom of their movement,. the noisy joyousness, their bustling activity impressed him as something new. He fol- leiwed the .wavering flight of a little figure until it was lost in the distance, then another nnd another. Ho'watched one returning-with a long straw in its bill. Tie leaned forward and along the branches ho could make out many heaps of dried grass. "I thought you'd Ond it," said Miss Ray. close to his elbow. "That's the city. See the houses the birds "are building?" "lie. them bird's houses?" Pete did not usually deign to ask a question. "Why, yes, those are bird's nests. Don't you know what bird's nests are, Pete?" ��� "Nop; never saw nun." A boy who knew nothing of that miracle of the spring, who had never 'felt the fascination of the mystery hidden in the shell, was incomprehensible to the ordinary country woman. She knelt down beside the window and pointed out the nests that had been built on the broad branches. She told him of tho growing store of eggs, the brooding mother and*'the.awakening of life within the shells, the tapping of the little prisoners on the walls of their prisons until they had freed themselves and came out, liny untledgcd things, into new existence. Pete listened, casting searching glances out of the corners of his eyes at Miss Ray. Incredulity slowly gave place to confidence. '"Wttel," he said, as she had finished, "I guess she hain't given me no bluff." ��� The old pine was dear to the heart of Miss Ray. Away back in the days when she had built her playhouse beneath it and furnished her pantry with bits of broken china which she had begun to study its varying moods. Into her loving knowledge of it and its inhabitants she slowly led Pete during his convalescence. At first she. called his attention to the most obvious things, the incidents of the domestic life, tho neighborly visltlngs, th-3 timid llutterings of the' young-birdsr"the^industry^of^theiifamily= providers. Together they listened to what (he birds might be saying. "There," she said, "there goes Mrs. Hop- about down to call on Mrs. Stay-at-home. They arc both great gossips. 'Would believe it?' Mrs. Hop-about is saying, 'young Mrs. High-flyer has hatched out one of her eggs. I really expected she would settle down in this way, and Mr. High-flyer is too happy anel excited to know what he is about. Such a time as they are having over that birthing! One- would thing an egg had never been hatched before. That's just the way Hop-about acted, but now he calls them scrawny little thing'*.' " Pete's birds talked in the language of the slums and they gave hints of a drifting life lidding shelter in garrets and cellars, In ���.mused areas, under doorsteps, of hunger that snatched at any scraps, of pinching cold, of hard words and harder blows. .Miss Ray taught him to hear In the sough of the wind through the dark branches the whisperings of the coming storm. She showed him the tree .transformed by the morning sun, when in 'its' moment of supreme beauty it was touched by the first lenig beam of light and sent back responsive gleams from each sparkling needle. Then it was that yielding to the magic of that touch it gave up.the secret of Its own wonderful arterial structure and stood warm, radiant and glorious. The poetic nature which lies near the surface in childhood was moved. Fete looked up with eyes that understood. The tree had opened a way for him into new life. AVith a growing keenness of comprehension he followed her. Nature is bene- ficient. Though the child bo impressianable the linos are not draw so deep as to be in- -���flacable. The harsh and unlovely past began to be crowded out by the new and beautiful present. Gradually his strength came back. His circle of existence widened. He wa sout over tho stone walls and into the lields and woods beyond, or the brook held him and he wiwllel lie for hours under the alders watching the minnows darting in and out through tho flickering shadows. "I do declare Hope," said Mrs. Bates, the next door neighbor, "I guess yer taldn' as much comfort out of it as he does. You'd never know he was the same fellow as used to go crawling around with his clothes hanging on him like a scarecrow. He is as freckled as an adder and his cheeks are beginning to stick out like a chipmunk's. I've brought over this basket of green apples.

'"Well, Pete, when I used to pick blackberries I knew It'was time for school. I suppose you'll be going with the rest of the boys?" "No, I don't. The Gerrys can't ketch me. I alluz watches- out." "The Gerrys?" "Why, yes. Don't you know? The Gerrys, the fellers as nabs kids, and makes them go to school." The old Ishmaellte look was back again. "We don't have any Gerrys here, Pete," said Miss"Ray in a quiet, reassuring tone. "Don't you? Won't nobody make me go?" "You shall not go until you are willing." The subject of school was dropped, and Miss Ray bided her time. It was a theory of hers that there was a right time for everything.if she would wait for It. Pete went on in his old contented way, happy in the belief that nothing would interrupt the careless freedom he was enjoying. He was sifting on the back stoop one day, his chin on his hand, his eyes watching the feathery mare's tails high up in the sky. "Pete, Pete! oh Pete!" Miss Ray's frightened voice sounded "above the clattering of falling tinware anel crashing crockery. Pete ran into the kitchen. Stretched motionless on the floor by the side of an overturned chair and surroundeel by the wreckage of a fallen shelf, lay Miss Ray, with blood oozing from;'a wound on her face. Horror stricken he stoud for a moment looking down on her. He had seen people look like that before, just so had Baldy Smith's pal lain when Baldy knocked him down for claiming too much of the swag, and the doctor said he was dead. His heart began to beat again. He darted out of the room anel across the yard into Mrs. Bates' kitchen. ."Come quick. She's'killed," he. shouted. He was off and out in the street, leaving Mrs. Bates standing in the middle of the room speechless with astonishment anel alarm. Down the shady walk he fled, faster than he had ran since he fled from his drunken father pursuing him with an open knife in his hand. Now, as then, he saw the ground rising to meet him, felt the terrible throbbing in his head and his feet growing leaden. Dr. Parsons had just reached his plate across the dinner table for a second piece of his wife's apple pie. "I think, my dear," he was saying, but Mrs. Parsons never learned what he thought, for just then a boy, wild eyed and breathless, burst Into the room. "Oh! She's dead! She's dead!" he cried. "AVhat! Who?" exclaimed Dr. Parsons', springing up and grasping him by the shoulder. "She���Miss Ray���I ' he gasped. He-turned and fled with the doctor close behind him. The neighbors along the route for days afterwards told of their feelings as they saw the two hatless llgures tearing up the. street. It was a subject of general thankfulness that Pete's diagnosis proved Incorrect. Still Miss Ray's injuries were not slight, for the cut across her face compelled her to submit^to-a^bandage^over-hcr-eyes-and-a- sprained ankle confined her to the big lounge in the sitting room for several days. "I do declare Hope, I don't see how yer goin' to find yer special providence in this," said Mrs. Bates, who in her capacity of nearest neighbor went back and forth between the two houses like a shuttle. "There," drawing a long breath, as she deposited a plate of doughnuts on the tabic, "t just run over with these while they are hot. They hain't as good as usual, but I thought perhaps you could eat them while they are warm. I do wish you could see that boy of yourn with your white and blue checked apron tied around his neck. He's most as good as a woman about the house, and to think that ho was fetched up in wickedness!" But Pete was not regarding Mrs. Bates with feelings of favor. He resented the bustling little woman's'zealous care as an officious appropriation of services which by right belonged to himself. She ;could get but scant replies from him as he worked vigorously to forestall her In every household task. AVhen everything was ln order he ran over on his daily errand to the postofllce and came back triumphant with a letter. "Oh, dear!" sighed Miss Ray, "If you only could read it. I'll have to wait until Mrs. Bates comes in again." Pete made no reply, but the eager light died out of his face, He sat on the edge of his chair tracing with his toe the pattern ot the carpet. Tie-k-tock, tick-tock, the slow swing of the long pendulum In the old fashioned clock measured orf the seconds. Miss Ray heard the click of the latch and knew that she was alone. "Oh, yer all right, be ye," she heard Mrs. Bates saying a lew minutes later. I jus' stepped in to see if there wasn't something tho matter. I.just seen Pete running down the street as tight as he could go, and I didn't know but that he was after the doctor again. I've got to hurry right back because I left some pies in the oven." The old clock ticked oft an hour. Miss Ray wondered what had become of Pete; he didn't usually go away without tolling her. Another hour swung by in slow-moving seconds. Tt was strange that he didn't come back. Could it be A quick fear shot through her heart. Something was wrong. He was so sensitive. Her fear became a certainty. She saw him on the hot sunny road trudging back to the city.

The quiet of the house became intolerable. She sat up "and began tugging at the bandages over her eyes. A sharp twinge in her ankle made her sink back on the pillow with a groan. Suddenly small, boyish feet stormed through the hall, the door was thrown open and Pete rushed in. "I've begun. She's took me," he burst out excitedly. "I'll read for ye. I know some now." He caught up a paper and held It towards her, forgetting her bandaged eyes. "See here's O an' this with the arms Is T and this little crooked one is S, an' I am going back this afternoon." Miss Ray reached out her arms and drew him to her in a warm embrace. "Oh, you blessed by," she said, her voice breaking into a sob as her face touched the warm cheek. Pete was radiant. At that moment he was ready to go to school all his life. A day or two later his teacher called in response to a note to talk over the situation. Miss Ray suggested that owing to his inexperience it might be well to overlook any slight lapses and to take as little notice as possible of holidays which he might appropriate to himself without the usual formalities. Miss Marsh thought it could bo arranged. "Oh," she said when leaving, "I almost forgot about his name. He said he hadn't any except Pete. That would hardly do for the roll book, so I put it in Peter Ray." And thus Pete the waif, who had never known a mother's care, the outcast, the fugitive, ceased to exist, and into a world of tenderness, gentleness, and love, Into the prospect of a useful future and an honorable place among his fellow men entered that other boy, Peter Ray.

Title | The Nelson Tribune |
Publisher | Nelson, B.C. : Tribune Publishing Company |
Date Issued | 1902-02-20 |
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. |
