It had been suggested that the government might have an interest in the construction of the proposed mammoth graving basin at Hunter's I'ofnt. plans and specifications for which have been prepared, but the secretary said he was not aware of any part tho government was taking In the building of this dock. When completed It will he of sufficient size to accommodate any two battleships at one time. Chicago, July fi.���A despatch to Ihe coord-Herald from Wnrsaw. lnd., Bays: iBeml John O. Rockefeller and a dozen WEEK'S MINING RECORD Repor-tg of Strikes Suppressed for Business Reasons���Quotations on Stock Markets. Nothing new has developed in Kootenay mining circles during the last week. at least no new developments have been reported. It is known that, although the report of rich strikes at dept in tlie i;u .- luuri mine lias Deen denied, recent developments have been more than satisfactory. In several Ainswortli properties rich strikes have been made but deilnite information has been withheld for business reasons. Sandon, which has been a quiet camp for many years, at last, shows signs of revival. The depression in Sandon has not boon a��*�� wholly Q�� chiefly to the loss of pay-streaks. Suspension of activity on account of litigation has played a very important part. Most of the law suits are now settled and the end of the long-drawn Slocan-Star case is in sight. Sandon men speak hopefully ugain, and it is within the range of possibilities that even the present season will see a marked renewal of activity. The stock market for the past week, being broken by the holidays, was hardly as active act usual, though prices remained Arm with a slight advance In one of two securities. International Coal, after feathing $1.03 per share on Saturday last, dropped again to about 85 to !M, and during this week fluctuated a few points between these figures. Alberta Coal H Coke remains Arm at the present high quotation, though with but little bUtineM transacted. Cariboo-McKinuey was more active thftll for some time, but SHOWS only a slight udvance. Operations by the leasees of this property will commence shortly .and it Is quite possible that these shares will lie In demand at higher llgures In the near future.

Canadian C.oldllelds Syn. also sold higher, hut dropped with the Consolidated shares.

Ottawa, July 6.���It is now pretty clear that when Sir Wilfrid Laurier comes home he must find a new minister of railways and u minister of public works. Mr. Hyman has resigned and the vlndl: cation of Mr. Emmerson has been indefinitely postponed. Mr. Emmerson was Interviewed In Toronlo after the libel proceedings and intimated that he would take no further interest in the matter. There Is no probability that anyone else will Inierest himself in Mr. Emmerson's viu.1.ration, and as the case has been postponed until next January at the earliest it Ib not likely that it will ever be heard from again. it was three mouths on Monday since Mr. Emmerson wrote to Sir Wilfrid Laurler his letter of resignation in which he said: "Mere gossip is difficult to meet; but when the medium of the press has been sought to name me as one of your colleagues In a slander, false on its face, I have directed that proceedings be taken against certain newspapers for the purpose of vindicating myself, not only against the direct charge but also against the Insinuation involved therein, aud 1 am conscious that I am In a position to be exonerated in the eyes of the country and yourself. My object In taking these proceedings is to vindicate my character aside from al) political consideration." To this communication and the notice of resignation Sir Wilfrid Laurier at once replied: "My Dear Emmerson:I have come to the conclusion that the course which you take is, under existing clrcum- sUuices, in Ihe public Interest. You owe It to yourself, to your colleagues and (eUnAs. tn clear your character of the charges leveled against it. tou could well ignore mere insinuation, but direct and specific charges you do well to face as soon as uttered. I will place your resignation In the hands of His Excellency." This correspondence took place April 1st, and on the day following Mr. Emmerson made a statement In the house declaring that the statement in the press concerning his conduct in tile St. Lawrence Hall In Montreal were absolutely false, and that he was relieved to lie at last uble to meet his traducers face to face. He asked the house and the country to await the verdict and suspend Judgment "awaiting the day when I can meet face to face those who have been striking me under the belt, and In meeting them I have this confident assurance that I shall be able to to vindicate ny nonor. to vindicate my character." Mr. Emmerson announced that he had taken civil action against the Frcderlcton Gleaner, the Halifax Herald and the Toronto World. Afterward he instituted criminal against Mr. Crocket, the mannging editor of the Gleaner. Without going Into the history of the criminal trial or suggesting In any way what the verdict would have been It may be said here that Mr. Crocket declared tho statement true which he had made, aud contended that publication was made In Ihe public Inierest. The prosecution declared that the SI. Lawrence Hall statement was not true and that publication would be an offence even If tho statement were true. Mr. Crockett brought as witnesses three employees of the hotel and one or anothor Inn, with a guest who occupied the next room in the St. Lawrence Hall to the one In which the events were said lo lave taken place. The Judge ruled against the legnl objection of Mr. Eni- merson's counsel Io tho plea of Justification .and was ready lo proceod with the trial. At this stage the prosecution re- fusocl lo go on. the trlnl was postponed, witnesses were sent home and Mr. Em- morsoii went off to West Vlrglna declar Ing thai ho look no further Interest in Ihe proceedings. There may be ground for the view that Mr. Emmerson was not treated by his lender with the same consideration that wbb extended to Mr. Hyman. Mr. Hyman's name was mentioned In the house In connection with the "wine, women and graft" discussion. Sir WlllAi Laurler stated that rumors had been brought to him concerning Mr. llyninn's conduct. They were of such a character thai he sont a friend to Mr. Hyman to ask him If they were true. The friend brought back Mr. Hyman's statement thut Ihe ihnrgos were raise. Later, when Mr llvtnan handed In his resignation of his office, Sir Wilfrid did not accept it. Now Mr. Emmerson did not wait for Sir Wilfrid to send a friend to him. He went to the premier himself and declared the charges raise. He told Sir Wilfrid that he was going to court to prove them falae. Yet Sir Wilfrid accepted his resignation and told him |Ui the letter |al>ove quoted that he oug'it to face the direct and specific charges "as soon as uttered." Mr. Emmerson has not faced them out, neither did the other minister. There appears to be some discrimination in this treat ment of the two ministers, though In the end It has come to the same thing The department or railways will not be held open until next year, and a minis ter of public works must be found. While it is ihe c-ommun opinion al Otiawa that ex-1'remler Pugsley. of New Ilrunswick, will succeed Mr. Emmerson in the cabinet, it is not at all certain lhat he will be minister of railways. In seeking any cabinet position he has in his own province to meet the vigorous rivalry of Mr. Carvell, the member for Carleton. who demands the vacant portfolio from his province, and is said to have the support of the whole Liberal delegation of New Ilrunswick. Mr. Carvell is able to say that lie Is a Liberal of long standing, while Mr. Pugs- ley's connection with the party began suddenly when Sir Wilfrid took office. In the winter of 189G he was the candidate in King's county, supporting the Tupper government. In July he was a supporter of Sir Wilfrid. Mr. Carvell is not allowing this to be forgotten, and Sir Wilfrid's colleagues are made acquainted with the posibility that at the first crisis, Mr. Pugaley might again change sides. There is great trouble still over the succession to Mr. Hyman. Tho gove- ernment is admittedly weak In Ontario. It was beaten In the province in 1��00, and though the constituencies were readjusted in 11102, It was beaten again in 1904. Sir Wilfrid has no longer the support of the Ontario local administration. The London conspiracy case has weakened his hold and shattered the machine and the exposures of graft .have alienated may Liberals. Sir William Mulock. the most influential minister he had in Ontario since the retirement of Sir Oliver Mowat, has disappeared and the premier has found Mr. Aylesworth more a weakness than a strength. Sir Richard Cartwright and the secretary of state are of no political va'ue. and MTV Puterson. though a painstaking official, seems to carry no weight with the constituencies. All kinds of suggestions are made as to a possible Ontario leader, Including the promotion of Mr. MacKenzie King, deputy minister of labor, to the iiosltlon of a cabinet minister and leader of his party in Ontario. Another view is lhat Sir William Mulock should be called back from the bench. All the suggestions agree that no Ontario member of parliament is equal to the emergency which has now arisen, and that Mr. Aylesworth is a ridiculous failure as a party leader and a public man.

The plaintiff is suing to recover damages sustained fc*by himself and son, Wilfrid Legris. resulting from und due to an assault upon the said Wilfrid Legris, while in the dormitory of the defendant college.

COLLECTIONS^ PREPARED Committee on Exhibit for Winnipeg Satisfied With Results���Will Leave on Tuesday. The respu'nBe to the appeal for contributions for the exhibit to be sent to Winnipeg was not very generous. However, Ihe committee gave up hoping for spontaneous offerings, and began soliciting with excellent results. A very fair collection Is now available and will be shipped to Winnipeg Tuesday morning. Samples of grasses and clover, of excellent size and quality, were contributed by Messrs. McDermld and Mciinrdy. from their ranch at CreBcent Valley, and by others from Columbia River lands . They are being prepared for shipment- today by Messrs. McPhee and Hyslop. In the city no difficulty was encountered In gelling an excellent collection of fruits, belli preserved and fresh In alcohol. Thai pari of the exhibit will lie at least equal to anything hitherto sent from Nelson. Secretary Ebliutt Is quite satisfied with the collection of photographs he has secured. They are of all kinds and sizes, representing benullful scenery, sceni'S descriptive of the mining, lum- boring, and trull-prowlng Industries, and scenes suggestive of successful sport with rod and gun. The exhibit will leave Nelson Tiles day morning, Monday being devoted lo packing and shipping. The men in charge will be amply supplied with advertising literature, as far as It applies to Ihe district generally. Auto Race Authorized. Trenton, N.

ISSUE WFINITE British Parties Divide on Fiscal Reform eial world Is keenly sensitive, and if consols and the stock exchange can be taken as a barometer the political situation would be described as threatening. LABOR MEN DISAGREE Unions Issue Rival Manifestos���Conservatives Officially Pledged to Preference. London, July 6.���The radical trade union M. P.'s manifesto against the colonial premiers and the preference which has been in all the papers Ib the best evidence of the uneasiness with which the ministry and the whole ministerial party watch the rapid growth of the Imperial preference movement. It is to be answered by a counter manifesto by influential trade union leaders who take Ihe opposite view. Another striking evidence of the strength of the preferential cause with British opinion is the fact that Lyttel- ton, as the official spokesman of the whole Unionist opposition, has chosen the preference situation as the ground for a full dress attack on the ministry. The Times speaks of the trade union manifesto as amazing In its Ignorance of facts, superb In its dogmatism, and utterly parochial in its point of view. It shows an entire failure to realize the standpoint of the working class populations in other parts of the Empire and is directed- against the bona fides of the colonies and their spokesmen. The Times adds: "Deakin uud iiis colleagues probably realize that 22 members represent on this point no more than a fraction, and we hope a very small fraction, of their countrymen.'* WAR AND PEACE Hague Conference Sits While Sign* Point to Many Conflicts. London, July 6.���A congress of all the nations of the earth is sitting at The Hague seeking to devise means to inaugurate universal peace. To the east of it Russia is in the throes of what perhaps may be described as a passive resolution. To the south of it a considerable section of France is in active insurrection. To the west ot It Ireland has started a fresh campaign for the overthrow of the existing scheme of government. The rustle of the wings of the angel of peace Is already drowned by the clamor of strife, but the seeming mockery of the spectacle has nbt the gloomy significance which many cynical pessimists see in It. It has been one of Fate's favorite ironies to make almost every peace conference to be preliminary to the outbreak of a serious war, and diplomatic circles have been disturbed this week by graver uneasiness that that caused by the three specific popular movements refrred to above. This was hinted at by M. Clemen- ceau, the French prime minister, when he informed the chamber of deputies thut If his ministry were overthrown Its successors would have to deal with more serious matters than the insurrection In the Midi. The diplomatic world Interprets this as an allusion to the situation created by the latest agreement between England, France and Spain in regard to the Mediteranean and the Atlantic. This measure la naturally calculated to Inflame still further Germany's resentment against the great cumblmitlon which now circumscribes that country's ambitions. It is well understood that Emperor 1 William will not hesitate to give expression to his Indignation in decisive action the moment he sees an opportunity to break the diplomatic cordon which surrounds him. He has entered i\ protest against the Franco-Japunese Far Eastern agreement, but his action lu regard to Iho new Mediterranean understanding bus not yet transpired. It Is difficult to see what effective action Germany can take at the present moment. A general conflagration In Europe could hardly result to her advantage. Herlln advices are to the effect that the insurrection In France Is being keenly watched und that Count Von lluolow's visit to the Emperor at Kiel on Thursday was directly connected (herewith. The German foreign office deuies strenuously that any diplomatic crisis Is pending, but this Is done as a matter of course In any situation. Germany within a few years has resumed the policy of pinpricks against France In regard to Morocco, which France is resenting as vigorously as during the regime of M. Ilelcasse.

Puerto Cortez, Honduras, June 27, via New Orleans, La., July C.���Within tbe last few days a new combination has appeared on the Central American checkerboard whereon President Zelaya has been manoeuvring for several months by means of revolutionary plots to consolidate the five republics' under one government. The new combination is reported to be Honduras, Guatemala and Salavdor. Their understanding was reached at Tegucigalpa, Honduras' capital. Its aim ia to defeat the consolidation. The first move of the new combination was to force the evacuation of Honduras by the Nicaraguan rtoops. Thereby Puerto Barries. Guatemala, has within the last week been relieved of the menace of the Nicaraguan General Estradas' army, which for many weeks camped in Honduras within a few hours of striking distance from Guatemala. Since the evacuation the defeated generals of former President Manuel Bon- ilia have been returning to their country and some of them have been invited on missions to Tegucigalpa, which is considered significant. It is reported that Zelaya did not yield to the demand for evacuation until his envoy, Gomez, who recently conferred with President Diaz, or Mexico, refused the request of Diaz to act with Nicaragua In an attack upon Guatemala. PROVINCES CO-OPERATE Joint Action Proposed to * Avoid All Grievances in CeHecMM of Sue- cession Duties. Toronto, July S.���The government of several of the provinces ot tbe Dominion have intimated their willingness to consider favorably the opportunity offered by Ontario for a reciprocal arrangement in reference to the collec? tlon of succession duties. New Brans- wick Is the first province to formally enter into such an agreement. Ita kid- ministration has passed an order-ln- council extending the provisions of tlie New Brunswick Act so as to harmonise with section 6, sub-section!}, of the Ontario Succession Duties Act. Thla' simply means that New Brunswick will nbt collect duties on the devolution of property situated In Ontirto on wkldi the latter province has already levied a tax, on condition that Ontario retrains from taxing the portion of an estate In New Brunswick. Thla plan la intended to prevent the double taxation of estates, situated partly in one province and partly In another, as Is possible under the present law. Provisions will, however, he made for cases in which the rate of taxation in one province exceeds that In the other. -The Ontario government will now have to pass an order-in-councll smlilar to that passed by the New Brunswick cabinet. Section 6, sub-section 9, of the Succession Duty Act says: "Where any property locally situate out of Ontario or any interest therein as aforesaid shall have paid any estate, succession or legacy duty or tax elsewhere than in Ontario an allowance for the amount so paid shall be made by this province, and the property upon which such duty or tax has been paid elsewhere shall be subject to the payment of such portion only of the succession duty provided for tn the preceding sub-sections of this section as will equal the difference between the duty payable under this act with respect to property in Ontario, and the duty or tax so paid elsewhere; provided that allowance for any estate, succession or legacq duty or tax payable elsewhere than In Ontario shall be made under this sub-section only as to any country, state or British province or possession where an al-owance Is made for the succession duty paid under this act on property situate in Ontario, passing on the death of any person domiciled elsewhere than In Ontario and the lieutenant governor- In-councll, by order-in-councll, shall have extended the provisions of this sub-section as to such allowance by this province so as to apply to such country, state or British province or possession." Passed Bogus Checks. Woodstock, Ont��� July 6.���Alex. Coulter, who said he lives a mile and a half wost of Toronto, was this morning sentenced by Magistrate Hall to five years In Kingston penitentiary on each of two charges, one of passing bogus checks on Garner ft Co. and the other of attempting to pass one on the Crown bank, sentences to run concurrently. When confronted with a record of five convictions in Toronto and one in Stratford, most y on similar charges, during the past three years, the prisoner, who had up to this claimed hli name was John O'Brien, admitted bis guilt and pleaded for leniency because of his wife and three children. He said that drink was the cause of his downfall and that he was crazed with liquor when he commit! ed the offence. . ��� ANOTHERSURPLUS Prwte Vis Big Credit NttCB A MILLION TO TOE GOOD Finance Minister Tallow Estimates -Splendid Margin oi Revenue for Fiscal Year. Victoria, July S.���The McBrlde government will be able to announce to the people of British Columbia a surplus of $1,000,000, the greatest surplus of any which the Conservatives have been able to pile np on the deficits of previous governments. The fiscal year ended on June 30th and the returns made to Hon. R. O. Tat- low, minister of finance and acting premier since that date, shoar that the record-breaking mark of $1,040,000 will be reached when the balance for the year 1906-07 is struck. This aplendid showing reflects unbounded credit upon the administration of the finances of the province by Hon. Mr. Tatlow. Aa Is well known, when ' he took hold of the finances the treasury was not only empty but obligations contracted by nrevloasr governments had to be met In order to save the credit of British Columbia. Not only was the situation saved at that time but tbe internal affairs ot the pprovtnce were thenceforth ao skilfully handled that annual surpluses have been resulting ever since. One factor of the situation which haa enabled the production of the million dollar surplus has been the Immense development of the natural reeoareee ot the province under the present administration. The vast timber areas ot the province during the past fiscal year produced over (800,000 ia revenue and the receipts from that source will next year run greatly In excess ot the million mark.

Harding, 4 prominent banker of New York, spent yesterday In the city. "Thla Is a marvelous country," he said. "It la the first visit te this section ot the continent and I have been greatly surprised at the conditions. There seem to be unlimited possibilities. In this western country, and for the thrifty man It looks aa if a fortune could be quickly amassed. "Though not very well acquainted with Winnipeg, from Ita general appearance I should say that it had all the earmarks of a great city. A most noticeable feature, and one that the citizens of any city might well be proud of, Is the splendid width of the streets. They appear to be kept In a fairly good condition, but nothing like the streets ot Vancouver. In the latter city I think some of the cleanest In America will be found. "I note that thla city has got a number of fine-looking commercial buildings, while the residences are first-class and seem to be above the average that are found In a place of thla size. "Great credit Is due for the festivities of the holiday passing off without any. fatalities. Amusements are to be found here in great numbers and 1 have no doubt that they are well patronised. Wherever I went on Monday I found great crowds of people, who, while en- Joying themselves, kept great order. "The trip through British Columbia was h magnlcent one. (The grand scenery and mammoth rocks form a picture that one will not easily forget. I have been reading quite a bit about the crop outlook In Western Canada, and from observations see no reason why the peop'e should apprehend any danger. Districts In Saskatchewan and Alberta looked most promising. While the growth In Manitoba seems to be slightly behind those provinces, I might add that the grain presented an appearance every bit as good.

THE ALL RED ROUTE Sir Wilfrid Laurler has developed a sudden enthusiasm fur a faster mail and pMsengor service between Great Britain and Canada and for ClQser Hade relatione that will thereby be made possible. This was the subject of his solitary contribution to the deliberations of the Imperial Conference, aud was the subject of his speech at the Dominion Day banquet in London. These circumstances together with others, such as the delay in filling the vacancies in the cabinet, the nomination of Liberal candidate.-, and general preparatory work, have Induced ifit- belief in some quarter! that Sir Wilfrid contemplates an early appeal to the country, it might be added that the expec tatiou ut' a financial stringency and pus Bible period of depression consequent on tbe Condition*, ibaf have led the ('ana dJan banks to shorten sail may hasten the government's action. Any administration would prefer appealing lor a "renewal of its mandate" during the full tide of prosperity to making such an appeal after the ebb has begun. Gen eral prosperity lias often been a gov ���ernment's only claim to re-election. It was so in Canada iu 1900 and in 11*04. In the latter year it was strength' ihu by a special appeal to the West for ap pro\al of the Grand Trunk Pacific scheme. Whether an appeal be made thin year or uext., or not until tin present parliament has run its full course of five years, it Ib evident that tbe All Red Route and improved trade relations with tbe Mothei 'and are to figure prominently upon the next CaiM dian Liberal programme. Who suggested either to Sir Wilfrid Laurier at the present juncture, it Is Impossible to say. Hut ft is hardly credible that either occurred suddenl> to Sir Wilfrid during the last hours of a conference in which Sir Wilfrid's single aim had been to assist the British ministers in blocking every effort of (be colonial ntutuamen to make or recommend any forward step. To consider first bis advocacy of the AU Red Route, no one can have forgotten that a contract had been made with the Peterson company in 1S96 by the government of Sir Charles Tupper for a fast Atlantic service at a cont to Canada of $375,000 per annum. The scheme now proposed, If it Is carried out at all. will cost Canada $1,116,000 a year. Why Sir Wilfrid should have been so opposed to a fast Atlantic service in 1896 as to cancel a contract already made, and be so eager for it now as to be willing lo pay exactly thre timeB as much for It. Is probably known only to himself. It can hardly be that he had any serious objection to borrowing his opponent's policy; he had already borrowed po much that a little more or less was of no con sequence. There is no 'hinge In conditions to warrant the contention that a fast Atlantic service is more (billable now than in J8!��G. Sir Wilfrid's belated advocacy of the scheme therefore involves a confession, which of course he will not make dire- tly, that he made a mistake in lfct*fi, and that Canada has lost for eleven years the commercial advantages that will accrue from such a service. On the question of closer trade relations his course is even more lncoher* ent and Inconsistent. For many fears. before 1806 Conservative statesmen had endeavored to direct Canadian trade to Britain, since nil i-fforts towards securing fair terms from the United States luid failed. Their efforts had been ridiculed by the Liberals who pointed to the adjacent "natural market" In America, and proclaimed their ability to secure the terras that had been steadily denied to Conservatives. Their efforts failed of course. The Joint High Commission has never dissolved but Its recess has lasted nearly ten years. The preferential tariff, the only step so far takeh towards promoting trade between Britain and Canada was Indeed carried out by Sir Wilfrid Laurier but It was first advocated by Sir Charles Tupper, and, of course, opposed by Sir Wilfrid Laurler, who was then s free trader. Free trade admits of no tariff, pr. f. tentlal or other. Sir Wilfrids present advocacy of a fast Atlantic service and of better trade conditions between Britain and Canada, will, of course, receive the support of Conservatives for the same reason as they support the policy of protection. They are part and parcel of the Conservative National Policy, to which Sir Wilfrid has been so slow a convert. If his contemporaries fall to perceive the absolute inconsistency of Sir Wilfrid's whole career as a statesmen, it can only mean that no one expected for a-moment that he would attempt to put bis own notions into practice, and that the Liberal professions of twenty years were consciously and deliberately dishonest. There is a tradition among Liberals that their leader was once an orator. But the most devoted can hardly claim, without a smile, that he is a statesman In eleven years of power he has never initiated one policy that is not an obvious Imitation of the measures of his predecessors, nor indeed done anything but copy, slowly and reluctantly, the policy that his whole career In opposi tion was spent in denouncing.

Duly and punctually, even self-sacrlfic- ingly, pHrfornilng all duties prescribed by the ceremonial lawn, they llv��'d to and for themselves, despising all others. Trusting to the ���efficacy of external conformity they neglected to cultivate spiritual virtues. Their conduct in human relations was unaffected by the creed Nelson Lsnd Diatrict.

Fred Ross, of Ross Bros., merchants, Edmonton, is in the city, Mr. Ross has been making a tour of the province, and while he likes the country generally. Nelson and the surrounding country suit him best. A Record Catch. The ladies' record for fishing on Kootenay Lake has been won by Mrs. Brun- ton. of Kaslo, who landed a 2')1J pound salmon trout. It was one of the finest fish ever caught in Kootenay Lake, and if dptured by her a few days sooner, Mrs. Biunton would have been the winner of the Rambler silver medal. Short Measure. Complaints have reached Nelson from Calgary and other Eastern points that most of the berries shipped East are short in weight and measure. If true, the practice should be stopped at ouce. It will be ruinous to fruit growers if the impression once gets abroad that they are guilty of systematic dishonesty in the matter of marketing their crop. Latest Publication. "West Kootenay, Its Resources, At- tiactlons and Advantages," the latest pamphlet of the 20.000 Club, will soon be ready, and will be a very creditable production.

Mr. McCallum was a great admirer of Joseph Chamberlain, whom he looked upon as the greatest and most daring statesman Kngland had produced during the past century. Mr. Chamberlain, he said, fought Gladstone In u manner and with a success which over-shadowed even tbe great Ix>rd Ileaconsfleld, and if he had but been a younger man, today it would have been better for the farmers and everyone In England. However, things would finally right themselves.

Fortunately, the best were coming here or going to other colonies nnd would still remain British subjects. He believed if England Introduced some measure of protection Us benefits would soon be recognised, and the principle would become nn firmly grounded as It Is on this continent.
