The week In mining hai been feature- loss and rather confused. The restoration of peace in tho coal fields and the prospect of a continuous supply ssf cu_l have removed one threatening difficulty, but labor troubles ln the Houndary have more than offset the gain so far as that district is concerned. Negotiations for Sheep Creek and Lardeau properties have been in progress for some tlmo but none are yet completed. The stock market for lhe paat week though showing no great advances or declines was very steady and active. The settlement of Uie labor trouble caused the llrltlsh Columbia and Alberta securities listed on the Spokane exchange to be In great demand with Blight advances lu nearly every stock. With the waning of tho Cobalt boom. Western stocks are again becoming favorites on Eastern exchanges. Of the coal stocks Alberta and llreck- enrldge & Lund, while showing no greal advance, were firmer and ln more demand. International on the other hand gained 3 to 4 cents with every probability of a greater advance next week. Western Oil Con. again became a favor Ite, being in demand at from 15 to 20 cents advance over last week's prices, and with every Indication of a greater advance In the near future. Dominion Copper was steady throughout and gained about $1 per share at the cloBe. n. C. Copper was erratic, advancing one day and dropping tbe next, and during the week changing but slightly. Cariboo McKinney reacted with but little demand. Consolidated Smelters were offered freely at low and attrac- llce prices. Rambler Cariboo and Sullivan remained quite unchanged.

London, May 11.���Germany's flat refusal to discuss any proposal for the limitation uf armaments hue deprived The Hague conference of Its chief Im- poriaiicsi. lt will now, of course, be Impossible to accomplish auy practical result In this direction, and it Is doubted in diplomatic circles if the subject will even be raised for academic discussion. The German authorities bave faced squarely ihe reproach that their atUlude will earn llie,11 the reputation for disturbing tbe noble word peace from sheer love of war or from military ambition or other self-seeking motives. Chancellor von Luclow says ln lhe clearest language: "There are in England, France, Italy and American plenty ot friends ot peace and civilization wbo believe they will best promote peace lf tbey allow no illusions to arise, and if, while pursuring ideal alms, they do not lose sight of realities. I lately had tbe satisfaction ot finding an utterance in this sense even ln a Social Democratic Journal, lienor lute Ihan never. It is impossible to subject Germany lo pressure .even to moral pressure." lt was a maladroit move on the part of the premier, Sir Henry Campbell- llaiiiieiiiinii, to announce the Hritish views on this subject in a partisan publication a month ago Instead of submitting tbem to tbe conference itself. He accomplished nothing, except to arouse German suspicion and give Prince von Huelow an opportunity to velo In advance a proposal which would have carried a far greater weight lf only submitted by a majority of the powers. Moreover, he succeeded in focusing upon Great Hritain ail tbe German anger and resentment, with the result that Anglophobia has been fanned to a whiter beat in the Kaiser's dominions than ever before. Even Herr RasBer- iuan, the leader of the German Liberals, has declared thut Germany would accept no dictation In regard to armaments, and be advised England to make a note of it. Herr Wiener, the leading Radical In the Reichstag, described the proposal to limit armaments as a diplomatic means of weakening the position of Germany. An Act of Benevolence. E. F. Gigot has received from the manager of the Hudson's Bay stores at Victoria a donation of $25 for the woman ln Nelson who has been left ln Indigent circumstances. The name of tbe "donor ls not given.

The Grand Forks team has beeu practising for some time and will put a strong aggregation ln the Held on this occasion. Nelson will also have a good team. Scot- ty Williams and Harry Jamieson will be seen tn the line-up, which Ib a guarantee that the match will be a good one. Shortage of Coal. The railroads aud smelters still complain of a shortage ot coal. While the strike has been settled, the output Ib not as great as it was before the strike. This Is caused by a Bborlage of miners, many of whom left as soon as the strike was declared, and It has been found Impossible to All their places. Slocan Mining Notes, About 60 men will bo put to work on the Reco In another month. Placer mining on the rich gold Bur- face showings around Poplar will shortly commence.

Diplomacy���But Fear German Resentment. Paris, May 11.���The French press received with general satisfaction the announcement lhat negotiations are in progress between .France and Japan, looking to an undei standing guaranteeing the political and commercial interests of the two powers In the Far Eaet, aa relieving Fran;* of the danger of the loss of Indo China and as serving all the nations with Interests In the Far East. Tbe papers also recognize in the approaching understanding a triumph for British diplomacy. Tbe Petit Pari- sien says it considers tbat the entente involves "Japan's renunciation of the new Munroe doctrine of Asia for the Asiatics," and tbe Gil Blaa, while maintaining that the agreement Is not directed against any particular country, contends that It constitutes "a warning for the power wbleh Is excluded." The Gaulola ia exercised lest the entente "create Inquietude fn America and facilitate an American-German rapprochement," while tbe Eclaire says It fears that "the new combination against Germany will not serve the cause of peace."

DIG LEGACY OF DEBTS New London County Council Tackling Problems of Financial Reform ���Heavy Burdena. London, May 11.���Reform of the local government of London is already bearing fruit. Tbe new county council has already affected such economies that a reduction in the rate ot taxation is announced. One of the chief scandals of the municipal ownership administration waB in connection with the worka department, which was wasteful beyond words. The new council has decided to obtain private estimates on all important works, and if their own engineers figured a higher cost, then to award the Job to the private contractor. This action was taken in regard to a sewer, which Is to cost $1,600,000. The reform members of the new council met yesterday to decide what to do about the great electric scheme, Involving an expenditure of ��26,000,000, which was adopted by the old council. This contemplated a municipal monoply ot all electric supplies under municipal management. It was decided to promote a scheme for the consolidation of all London electric enterprises, Including the erection of four great generating stations. Tbe council is to have power to lease the undertaking to tbe Consolidated companies, under proper safeguards. Including a limit of cost of two cents per unit of power. It was agreed that under no circumstances would the council consent to operate the undertaking. Roome Scarce. The scarcity of dwelling accommodation has become so great that the parlor of the old Wavorly hotel, which has been used by the Unlversly Club for Its monthly meetings, has been rented. As announced elsewhere, tonight's meeting will be held ln the hall ot St. Paul's church. Methodlet Church. Tomorrow will be children's day at the Methodist church, tn the morning there will be a "chalk talk" on "Bricks: How Made and Bought." In the evening there will be a sermon to young men on "A Committee of Investigation." TH1RB TERM BOOM Roosevelt Says Decision Fioal TALK NAY BE USEFUL Testimonials of National Esteem Hay Help to Secure Continuation of His Policy. Washington, May 11. ��� President Roosevelt cisuractertzes as "absolute nonsence ie talk of nominating and electing blm for a third term. Mr. Ro aevelt has talked freely with several oi the callers at the While House on this subject. He made lt plain, however, that he will not come out In any formal statement on the subject of a third term. He considers that what be said immediately following tbe election In lbu-i, and wb-.i be said subsequently, should suffice. He thinks he should be taken at hla word and let lt go at that. In any way, the agitation for a third term Ib of considerable advantage to him at the present time as a political asset and will aid him in keeping control of his campaign to force the adoption of hla policies sat the next con- tion. It will also continue to keep blm as the dominating influence ln tbe Republican party and give blm a strong leverage in naming his successor and dictating the next party platform. Those who were present yesterday when be talked about the "third term" sentiment and stated that from his standpoint It would be "absolute nonsense" for him to give lt any encouragement, were convinced tbat be meant every word he eald, and that he would refuse the nomination if it were tendered him by the national convention. The president practically concedes that be Ib playing a big game to force the adoption of his policies by tbe next Republican national convention. To bring this about, the third term furore is not proving a hindrance. Wltb a widespread demand for his re-nomtna- tion, he will be in an excellent position 10 reject the office, but insist tbat a man be named wbom he considers will carry out the ideas be stands for. For this reason he will not object to being kept in the forefront as the favorite of the United Statea for a time as a means of blocking the plans of other candidates In whom he ls not interested. The president regards most ot these candidates aa having been put forward to assure the selection of delegations from the states that will not Insist on waiting for the next national convention. The third term boom he believes Is also of Inestimable value as a rallying cry for all his supporters or the supporters of his policies and so he ls willing to let lt go ahead without any further formal Btatement or denial on his part. As a matter of tact the president ls laughing quietly tn hla sleeve at the assurances he is constantly receiving from senators and members of tbe house that they want him for the next Republican candidate. He does not go so far as to impeach the sincerity of their motives ln telling him that their states and districts want him to run again, but he generally knows how near the senator ln question is up for reelection, and with the members of the house, they have to face their constituents every two years, and he thinks that explains a lot of telegrams. When the president makes bis speech at Indianapolis on Decoration Day he will take occasion to outline his policies all over again. It ls understood tbat Income and Inheritance taxes and the federal regulation of corporations, to prevent over-capltallaatlon, will be a leading feature. * New Machinery. The Kootenay Marble Works has added a new planer to thetr plant on Front street. This piece of machinery will save a great deal of labor and will turn out better work than was done by the old method. It ls now being placed ln position and will be In operation within a few days. TESTING SUBMARINES. American Naval Manoeuvres Showing Valuable Results. Newport, R. I.. May 11.���All American records for quick diving were broken yesterday when the submarine Octopus went through a series of extraordinary testa In the Covington Cove ln a nasty ses with a thick fog and a wind that blew at a rate of 40 miles an hour. The principal thing was to determine whether the Octopus would be able to be submerged quickly should an enemy be sighted running at tull speed on the surface propelled by gasoline engines. The Octopus received the signal, Immediately the engines were stopped and power waa furnished by storage batteries. The submarine sank to a depth of 20 feet so that the deck was at a depth of 16 feet. All thle was accomplished In four and a half Inmutes. A Becond test reduced the time to four minutes. NO COMMERCIAL VALUE. Sir WliTiam Ramsay's Chemical Work Scientifically Interesting. London, Hay 11���Sir William Ramsay, of Cambridge university, wbo ls reported to have succeeded In accomplishing what no other chemist has been able to do, the production of copper by the synthetic, or combination process, from the elements sodium, lltlum and potassium, was questioned yesterday, but he declined to either affirm or deny the report. From another source lt was learned that Sir William, who has been carrying on experiments for months past, has produced interesting and valuable scientific results by treating copper with the emanations of radium. It Is declared, however, that these discoveries have no commercial :alue. GRANBY WILL RESUME Only Waiting fer Coke Supply���Labor Troubles Not Serious���Other Boundary Newa. Grand Forks, May 10.���It ls unofficially stated today that, the Granby smelter will resume operations again and be running in full blast before the end of the present month. The plant will, It is understood, not start up again until a sufficient supply of coke has been secured to warrant a steady run of the eight furnaces. No serious difficulties are anticipated from any existing differences regarding wages between the company and ita employees aa lt ls understood that things will be settled satisfactorily all round. A mining man arriving here from Greenwood today is authority for the statement that nearly all the high-grade properties In that camp are- being forced to greatly reduce their force until the present labor difficulties are ended; he also states that a systematic form of prospecting the Strathmore property would now be carried on by means of diamond drills, It being proposed to bore a -series of holes 1,500 feet deep at various places on the property. In spite of the fact that the price of lumber has advanced aa well as the workmen's wuges, a great deal of building will be carried on here this summer, already several doxen handsome buildings have been contracted for and It is fully expected that several business blocks will be erected during the next tew months. Both forks ot the Kettle, river are now booming and trom the preeent indications the high water this year will fully equal that ot 1898. All the low lands in the valley are being flooded and there ls considerable hustling among the residents ot these sections to move their families to places of safety. Great volumes of water���are coming over the smelter dam and both rivera are tull of floating driftwood. New Match for Burns. New York, May 11.���A despatch from Los Angeles says Bill Squires, of Australia, and Tommy Burns were matched there yesterday to box at Colma for the world's championship on May 30th. James W.

WAR NOTWANTED Mexico is Patient Wltb FUN BUT NOT HOSTILE Minister of Foreign Relations Talks of Situation aad Hopes lor Settlem-pit. Mexico City, May 11.���Mexico will not go to war with Guatemala over the question of the extradition of General Jose Maria Lima, charged with complicity ln tbe assassination of General Manuel Lasandrio Barillas, formerly president of Guatemala, who was killed ln the City of Mexico. This tact waa today officially communicated to the Associated Press by Minister of Foreign Relations Marlscala. This decision of the government is Irrevocable. Minister Marlscala modified his statement to say that any overt act or direct Insult by the Cabrera government would completely change the attitude of the Mexican government. He added that no such contingency was expected to arise. For the third time Mexico has addressed Guatemala In regard to the affair* In the latest note the government pointed out the extreme patience wltb which lt had acted and wanted President Cabrera of the light in which he would be placed before the world In case of his refusal to acquiesce ln Mexico's request. Until a reply ot this ls received no cabinet m-aetings will be held. What will happen ln the event tbat the reply to this latest and most urgent note. If unfavorable to the government, la a matter which the state department refuses to discuss la detail. Minister Marlscala stated that relations between the two countries might be broken off, but even this, he satd, would not be construed as a proposal for war. This was as tar as Minister Marlscala cared to be quoted, but trom an official source aa high as thst of the head of the state department It was learned that tbe decision of the Mexican government unravelled one thread ot the tangle In which the Guatemalan affair ls bound. President Estrada Cabrada of Guatemala played his last card when he sent a note to the Mexican government demanding the extradition of Dr. Emlle Leon, Colonel Francisco Orla. snd Dr. Louis Felipe O'Brien. It was charged that he had positive proof, in the communication, that those three men were Implicated ln the recent attempts to assassinate him. Mexico regards this movement of Cabrera as an undignified political trick.. EASTERN PAPERS OBJECT. Deputstlon Protest* Against Changs In Postal Ratea.

THE SCHOOL BYLAW. pne -week from next Monday tlie biierty owners nf Nelson will volo on a bylaw authorizing tbe issuo of city debentures to the extent of ���$110,0011 to provide Hciiool uccoltiniuduUou. There Is little argument about the matter. Those who believe in public education, und ulsu believe In Neluon, take for grant-ad that nil others have the same faith, nnd ciiiiiiofctniceive of on- position. Those who de.s|iino popular education or doubt of the future of Nelsou, naturally refrain from expressing opinions tliey know would be unpopular. The advocates of the school cannot nf ford to lake things for granted. They huve two -enemies to contend with. They have ihe resolute, though comparatively silent, opposition of a few who have no sympathy with free education, eienien tary. BOCOndary or university, and con sider money spent for il us wasted; anil they have the indifference of a class probably larger, who have no children of school age, who believe in education in a general wa,-, but lake little Interest in lt, and who in the present circumstances think chiefly of Increased taxes. It should be unnecessary tu remind all qualified voters that it requires three-fifths of the vote polled to curry a money bylaw. If the vote is very light, a small number of opponents may defeat the bylaw and do irreparable damage to Nelson. It iB to the credit of the citizens that they are ashamed of the public school buildings. They are not shown to strangers and no views of them are Included in advertiBlns matter. Descriptions of them avoid mention ot the buildings and praise the staff. No one will seriously deny that such ��� state of affair* is damaging as well as discreditable to the city. Every effort is being made by local organizations to promote the progress of Nelson by Improving the city uud by attracting settlers. Nelson hus long been the most attractive residential city in the interior of Hritish Columbia. Surely it is the desire of all that that position should be maintained. The residents wanted for Nelson are families of a good cIusb. To the heads of all such families the first consideration invariably, in muking choice of location, is the facilities for the educutiou of their children. Nelson cannot afford to offer facilities Inferior to those of every other city in the province and that is her present position. Pretences of dispute as to whether the city should vote $50,000 or $110,000 may be ignored. Nine out of twelve- men elected by the city believe that the larger sum is required. The choke is not between $50,00(1 and $60,000. It is between $00,000 aud nothing. We are confident thut lf the vote on the bylaw is anywhere nearly representative, the bylaw will he carried by o decisive majority. SIR WILFRID'S SPEECHES. The Dally Canadian bus frequently been tuken to task liy Liberal or nondescript papers for failure to duly admire the grcutness of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and J. A, Macdonald, For the sake of argument we have conceded thnt Sir Wilfrid is a graceful and charming speaker nnd as an ornamental representative without a superior. We would glady have continued to believe so, but some, two especially, of Sir Wilfrid's latest speeches have been rather a shock. Probably it ls impossible for thc style not to Buffer from the poverty of the matter. At the -Guildhall, on April 16th, when the colonial premiers were given the freedom of the city of London, thore was an opportunity for comparison. Sir Wilfrid wns thc only speaker of the day who even ln his own country had lieen acclaimed as an orator. His speech on that occasion was below the level of all the others. It was full of absolutely meaningless repetition and unsuccessful straining after rhetorical effect. His latest speech at the luncheon In Westminister Hall, which our contemporary quotes ln full, is even worse. The first two sentences begin "In these modern days." ln his reference to the scene he say: "this hull ,thls old historic building." That Is not happy, It is not particularly euphonious, and it is commonplace. Lord Maoaulay exhausted the rhetorical possibilities of Westminister Hull In his introduction lo the trial of Hastings. "Masters of craft und eloquence" in not a very happy epithet for the great statesmen or Britain. The only thing iu the speech thul conveys any meaning, thai Is nol Utterly commonplace is the closing phrase "Imperial amity bused upon local autonomy." Observe "amity"; Sir Wilfrid won't even say "unity." The "cheers," "loud aud prolonged cheers," bear eloquent testimony to the generosity uud polite- ness of Uritish members of parliament The birth of an heir to the Spanish throne is rightly u mutter for rejoicing not only to Spain bul to all friends of the peace of Europe and the world. The monarchy is more popular In Spain now thun for many decades before, and Spuin's relations with all her neighbors are excellent. The popularity of Queen Victoria will cement the traditional friendship "f Spain and Hritain born of Spanish gratitude for Urltisb aid against .Napoleon, lt may also be hoped thai the British Influence of a half-English ruler some day will lead Spain a little faster aloug tlie path of industrial progress. Like the case of Harry Thaw, the trial of the Western Federation of Miners officials Is evidently to be the occasion for a vast auiouut of Irrelevant gossip. Stories aboul prisoners, witnesses and counsel, rumors of ohanges of jiliin and the like. The Daily Canadian will as far as possible eliminate such stuff from its reports. As the case now stunds the tedious tusk of selecting the jury will probably not be completed till near the end of next week, and not till then can any evidence be offered. Ex-President Koosevelt .the title he is determined to enjoy soon, will be a remarkable figure. His influence is personal und almost independent of his office. It seems a defect in the American constitution that the services of u man ln the prime of life, in whose ability and integrity the whole nation believes, should be available only a limited time. Britain and her colonies enjoy the life service of their greatest. Wbat Is the appropriate term for the local anti-C. P. R. ebullitions���dementia juurnallsticana, or common hysteria? Boxers' Fiery Cross. London, May 10���The Tien-Tsin correspondent of the Standard sayB that the doors of houses in the native quarter have been smeared with blood, afs was done on the eve of the last Boxer rising. The jieople are greatly alarmed. The native newspapers warn the authorities that there Is great danger of a revival of Boxerism if the smearing is allowed to continue. S. S. FOWLER Mining Engineer.

AFTER ASCENSIONTIDE Teaching of the Nature and Function of the Holy Ghoat���Services Announced for Tomorrow. To morrow will be the Sunday afler Aactmiiluu Duy. No holy days occur during the following week. Ascensiontide und the following week Is the Beason chosen In Canada by nearly all the religious bodies for making aiipi-uls for support of Home Missions. In the history of the openlug up of Canada, far more than In that of the United States, of Australia, South Africa or any other of the new nations, the riimtler preacher and missionary haB lieen an Important (lRiiri'. It Is often referred to as a disgrace lo Canada that liiiuiii-iai assistance for Us religious bodies Bhould be sought in the old country where tlie average of prosperity is lower than In Canada. Hut no othor counlry has had anything like Canada's problems to solve and, on the whole the effort has been successful. There ls no doubt that the maintenance of law and public morality, in whicli Canada has undoubtedly excelled all other countries ln their pioneer periods, has been greatly assisted by the frontier preachers. The influence on the Kootenay, for example, of the life and work of men like the late Rev Henry Irvine and Rev. Father Coccola, can hardly be exaggerated. The gospel for tomorrow contains Christ'B teaching to the disciples of the comlug of the Holy Ghost, and of the time of trial and adversity through which the early church was to go. The following services are announced for tomorrow ln the churches of Nel son: Church of England���St. Saviour's, corner Ward and Silica streets.

NOTICE 26th, 1903, while en route from Ceylon, where he had been ln command. He fought with distinction in Afghanistan, in the Boer war of 1881 aud also In the recent Boer War, in which lie commanded the Highland Brigade, and he also figured consplciously in the fighting against Arab! Pasha in Egypt and the Mahdi ln the Sudan. The publication in the Machester paper Ib to the effect that "Fighting Mac," as Sir Hector was known ln military and Scottish circles, is still very much alive, and is now organizing a powerful army for China. The most circumstantial story bearing on Sir Hector's alleged survival emanates from Johannesburg from a man who recently arrived there from the Far East. He asserts tbat he saw "Fighting Mac" at Nanking, China, last year, putting his astonishing declaration In the following form: "I knew Hector Macdonald very well, hoth ln Egypt and South Africa. 1 was In Nanking in December last. I saw a battalion of Chinese soldiers being drilled in European style on a space in the centre of the city, and, feeling curious, 1 walked up to where three officers were standing. One of them was Sir Hector Macdonald. He was clean-shaven but otherwise he had altered very little since the occasion of my last meeting him in Pretoria. "I was almoBt breathless with astonishment. I was about to speak to htm when his eyes met mine. He turned rapidly round to one of the other officers and said something quickly in Chinese. "The officer, almost springing at me, shouted: 'Leave this ground at once, or we will put you where your friends won't find you in a hurry.' I left Nanking that night for Shanghai, and I found that the fact that Sir Hector Macdonald was In that country was believed by a great many English people." Ab strengthening the story, it Is pointed out that no inquest was held on the body alleged to he that of Sir Hector Macdonald; but in official and other quarters little attention has been paid to the matter. The paper's Johannesburg Informant, officials believe, waB mistaken in his man.
