FIRST OREAT NOVELIST. Bicentenary of Birth of Fielding Celebrated in London. London, April 22.���The bicentenary of Henry Fielding, thc earliest of England's great novelists, was observed today by literary societies throughout the United Kingdom. In London a notable dinner was held under the auspices of the Society of Somerset Men. Sir Arthur Canon Dyle occupied the chiar and several score of literary and dramatic celebrities were ln attendance. It was Just two hundred years ago today that Fielding flrst saw the light of day near tbe town of Glastonbury. He was sent to Eton and studied for a time ln Leyden, but bis life was careless und the remittances from his father small and Irregular. His subsequent career was as interesting as that of any of the subjects of his pen. By the time that he was 20 he was writing for the stage, and making some headway, but his Income waa uncertain and hia habits reckless. In bis 27th year he married a beautiful and amiable girl who brought to him a dowry of several tbouaand dollars. He determined to settle down, but bis love of pleasure and display overcame him and be soon squandered all the money. He was over .0 years old when he produced his second and most famous novel "Tom Jones." His third novel, "The History of Amelia," was published when he was 45. Two years later he died of dropsy, while on a visit to Lisbon. CLOSING IN BOW Shortage of Fuel Bringing Industry to Standstill���Real Estate Boom Continues. Grand Forks, April 22.���Word hss reached here today that unleas the coal miners' strike Is settled at once the Great Northern and C. P. R. railways will be compelled to suspend traffic through the Boundary dlatrlct, owing to tbe lack of fuel for the engines. Already the Granby company has had to blow out two of the eight furnaces and should the railways fall to haul coke from the eastern markets at once the entire reductions works will be Idle, one week's supply being all that now remainB at the smelter and no fresh supplies are now coming in from any quarter. Great consternation exists here Just now among the city officials owing to Ihe fact that the city council has Just passed a strong resolution forbidding any of the city officials from frequenting any saloon barroom during the hours tbey are working for the city. I)n.' Evans, one of the crew in the freight train wreck on the Great Northern railway near Oroville, Wash., a couple of days ago, who received s.-rl- ous Injuries in the accident, died this morning in the Cottage hospital; the other four Injured men will likely re cover. A number of Important real estate ileuls have been completed here during Iho past week for city properties, among which was the purchase of Mr. Charles Brown's fine dwelling situated at the head of Winnipeg avenue, tho new owner being Mr. David Whiteside; the sum paid for this property Is reported to have been $5,000, while several other residential properties changed hands for sums aggregating 120,000. Track laying on the North Fork extension of the Kettle Valley railways is now completed as far as the little railway town of Niagara, some eight miles north of Grand Forks, and it is fully expected that the rails will reach Lynch Creek in another two weeks' time.

Ottawa, April 22.���The duel between Mr. Foster and Mr. Aylesworth ls still the chief topic ln parliamentary circles, although the whole session has been full of sensations. The patently deliberate purpose of the Insurance Commission as organized and Instructed by Mr. Aylesworth, to kill Mr. Foster politically, la admittedly without a parallel in the history of the Canadian parliament. There was a question on which the Commission spent a great deal of time and which Mr. Aylesworth debated at ���great length, whether all the directors of the Loan company understood the nature of tbe transactions. It had been suggested that one or two of them, whom the commission and tbe government does not wish to -condemn, aa they are party friends, did know tbat Mr. Foster and other co-directors were concerned In the Land company. But Mr. Foster produced tbe records showing that every detail was set forth in tbe documents presented to the full meeting and mentioned ln the minutes. One director told the Commission that he could not remember agreeiug to or hearing some of tne resolutions adopted and Mr. Aylesworth without making a Btatement himself, repeated the statements of the Commissioners, casting doubt on the records. Mr. Foster went through tbe whole record showing conclusively that all the proceedings were endorsed by all tbe directors, and that each of ihem had or waa ln a posi sion to have full knowledge of every detail. This land transaction proved to be altogether safe and exceedingly profitable. Tbe cumpany has got all its money back with Interest and |40,000 bonus together with $30,000 or $40,000 profits on management of the lands. Very little was said by Mr. Aylesworth respecting the Trust company's British Columbia investment. Mr. Fowler deult with it fully. Reference to his Bhare of the discussion will appear ln a future letter, lt Is enough to Bay that no question aroBe In the British Columbia investments In which Mr. Foater was accused of a personal interest. It is true that an examination of Mr. Fowler's books by the commission dis- closed the fact that Mr. Foster had borrowed $2,500 from him, and the commissioners went out of their way to say that out of the profits "Fowler paid Foster at least $2,500 and probably $7,000." This misrepresentation Is an Instance of what Mr. Foster called the "abandoned maliciousness" of the finding. It wsb in regard to such statements that Mr. Foster spoke of the reiiort aa "a damnable record, full of falsehood, to the utter abandonment of all sense of honor, all truth and manly conduct." ,. _ But Mr. Foster's language, though used by a man speaking under the sense of personal Injury , was not Btronger than that of his leader, Mr. Borden, who held up to scorn and ridicule tho malicious attempt which had been made to Injure his associate, it wob not so strong bb some of the expressions used by several other members, Including Mr. Bennett, Mr. Fowler, Mr. Lennox, Mr. JackBon, Mr. Porter, Mr. Boyce, Mr. Le/urgey and Col. Sam HughoB. Several of the members referred to the previouB record of Judge McTnvUh, the chairman of the commission. A few years ago he was appointed by the Robs government on a -commission to Investigate the notorious and scandalous West Elgin election crime. The commission, as members state, submitted a report whitewashing every act in that Infamous carnival of crime. Thero were many exciting scenes during tho debate, though no government supporter -except the minister of Justice ventured to say a word lu support of the charges made agalnBt political opponents. Slanders either open or Insinuated from the government benches have already brought sufficiently dire consequences to the government ranks. One minister has dieappeared, another Ib In exile, and ministerial members are nainfully unoertaln where thc next blow may fall. Meanwhile Mr. Foster can congrntulato himself on the fact that he has the loyal support and the ��r" confidence of his own party In the House. Perhaps never In the history of parliament was a speaker applauded more often, and more heartily than the member for North Toronto during his ad- Mr. Fielding announces that the com mission will cost $105,000, Mr. Shepley the Inquisitor, was paid $100 a day and haa already received $8,000 on account. He Is to have a general fee In addition, and strange to say the amount of thla Is not yet settled although his wofk was done mime weeks ago. It la suggested that he la to be paid by political results. His -associate,. Mr. Tllley, got $50 a day and expenses and has received $4,000 on account. To the Actuary $50 a day and expenses was paid, and he had two assistants at $20 a day each. The pay of the commissioners was $30 each per day tnd expenses and they have drawn $6,500. Col. Sam Hughes moved tbat the Item bo reduced by $30,000 but the motion waa rejected on a straight part vote. FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY. Southern Roada at War With Interstate Commerce Commission. Washington, April 12.���One of the most Important cases which the United State supreme court has had to deal ln a long time came up for argument before the tribunal today. Tbe caae is one In which several of the prominent southern railroads are aligned against the Interstate Commerce Commission. The direct question ai Issue Is the right of the railroad companies to advance the freight rate on lumber. But there ls a far broader queation Involved than this direct issue of lumber ratea. Thla is the scope and power of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The case has been pending since April, 1903, when the Central Yellow Pine Association, composed of manufacturers of that product In the territory eaat of the Mississippi river and west of Georgia, waa formed for the purpose of fighting an advance ln freight rates. They alleged that the advance was unreasonable In Itself and the product of a conspiracy among all the carriers of yellow pine in the South. The matter waa taken before the Interstate Commerce Commission. About the same time a similar action was begun by the Georgia Sawmill Association agalnat tha railroads ln that territory. In Feb-, ruary, 1906, the commission decreed that the advance waa unreasonable and the railroads were ordered to desist from further demanding of lt. But tbe railroads were not satisfied. They gave a supercedea bond of $500,- 000 to repay the shippers for an excess of chsrges ln the event the decree stood, and then appealed their caae to the United States circuit court of appeals at New Orleans. This court upheld the decree of the commission. The railroads then took an appeal to the United States supreme court. Should the decisions of the lower courts stand unshaken, the ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission will be justified, and the right and power of that body will claim another precedent. At the same time the lumber shippers of tbe South will have won a rate on shipments which ln a year's aggregate of business will mean a saving computed to be more than $1,000,000. PROSPECTS OF HOU Oreat Northern Railway Company Buying Mora Coal Fields In That Vicinity. Robert Stevenson, the mining pioneer of the Simiikameen and Cariboo,- ta expected to arrive ahortly In Princeton from Spokane, where he has been seriously 111 for some months. Mr. Stevenson hss a host of friends scattered over the country among whom he Is always a welcome guest. His reminiscences of early day privations and encounters with wild animals and hostile Indians, besides of his marvellous feata of strength and agility would make material for a large biography. He has some fine mineral holdings In this section which await shipping access. Last winter he sold his ranch above Princeton, carrying the coal rights, for $14,000. Major Anderson, of the Great Northern bought It, It is Bald, for the railway company. Mr. Stevenson Is nigh the allotted span but all hope ho will break that record and live many years to enjoy tbe fruit of bis efforts and the prosperity now dawning.���Simiikameen Star. The ranch with coal rlghta referred to, adjoins the site of Ashnola. and Is only one of many properties of the same character ln the Immediate vicinity. It ls on the strength of these properties and the certainty of their development ln the very near future that W. C. McLean has determined to lay out the tow nof Ashnola at once and make Improvementst that will render It a dealrable place of residence. Mr. McLean ia convinced that the Great Northern Railway Co. will develop Its coal areas and provide transportations facilities during the present year. Another Blof for Liberty.

HOPE OF SETTLEMENT. All the Interest of Kooteuuy and Alberta will be centred tomorrow on the conference at Ferule between tlle coal mine operators and their employees. Several representatives of other interests will be there to use their influence with both parties to the conflict. The situation Is the most serious that bas confronted Kootenay In all Its history. If the hopes of a settlement of the ipiarre] and resumption of work In the mines fail, the freight aervlce ot the C P. R. will be discontinued at once and within a week the passenger ser- vlrn will be, if uot discontinued, at least seriously interrupted and delayed. Idleness of the coal mines will necessarily mean the cessation of freight service, the closing down of smelters, the stopping of shipments from metalliferous mines, and the interruption of every Industry that either Imports material or exports products. At lonst DO poi* cent, of the workingmen of Kootenaj* will be out of employment. Are the causes of the disturbance commensurate with tho damage it is doing and will do? The men are striking for an Increase of wages equal to about 10 per cent. But they say, through tlieir mouthpiece, Mr. Sherman, that they would not have been discontented with the present scale of wages if they represented face value. But tliey charge that, either from mallco or mismanagement, work haa been most uncertain, and men have lieen laid off so frequently that In Bome cases they have received ln the course of a month only half their nominal wages. On tbe other hand, by the operators or on behalf of them. It is alleged that they and their employers, the share holders, are weary of the dictation of agitators and are determined to resist all further demands. There Is probably in this particular instance a measure of right and wrong on both sides. But, though people are slow to realize It, the strike in East Kootenay Ib only one example of what Is happening all over Canada, from east to west. It ls commonly said and admitted that the cost of living has increased enormously ln the last ten years. Nothing is really more difficult of production now than then. But everything is more costly now than then. The one element In tho coat of production which hns Increased ls wages. Organized labor replies that as the price of everything that the workman must buy has increased his wages also must Increase or he is the loser. Ho does not see that he is himself responsible for the enhungod price of everything, partly by the higher wages which ho has secured, and partly by the almost continuous strikes which have greatly reduced production and materially altered the relations of supply and demand upon which finally the price of everything depends. The greed, the determination to "get rich quick," which has become the ruling feature of national character in North America, as much now in Canada ao in the United States, is the ultimate cause, but it is one that legislation cannot, and public opinion obviously will not, remedy.. In British Columbia the whole question Is complicated by the Contract Labor law. A virtual monopoly has been given to organized labor iq this province. When a strike is declared the strikers have no occasion to resort to terrorism to prevent its being broken. Government has made lawlessness for that purpose unnecessary by prohibiting employers' securing other laborers. In the endless game between capita! and labor democratic governments have loaded the dice In favor of labor. But It. Is not capital that Buffers. Capital can always wait. It is the non-striking consumers who are crushed in the game, ignored alike by capital, labor and government. If the coal miners' strike will reveal these facts plainly enough for all to see, force them on the attention of the lawmakers and those who elect them, lt will not be an unmixed evil. Vancouver City, the teaching profes sion, and the whole province, as well as his personal friends, have sustained a heavy loss in the death of James O. Shaw, late principal of Vancouver College. His quiet, almost secluded habits, have prevented his becoming known to many outside of tho city in which his work lias been done, but hundreds of pupils who huve come under his influence, and the few who have had the privilege of knowing hlm Intimately, will recognize that the province has lost In him oue of Its finest exponents of learning and culture. Mr. Shaw represented a type of scholarship all too rare ln America. He followed learning for her own sake and for the nobility of thought, feeling and purpose to be developed by lt. His personal kindll- noss and courtesy endeared hlm to all who knew him. If It is true, as reported from Ottawa today, tliat the resolution of Sir Wilfrid Laurler on the subject of readjust- .ment of provincial subsidies, has passed through CommonB and Senate in a defective form, and oue that cannot be presented as the basis of a petition to the British parliament, it will mean that Premier McBrlde's present visit to London has been made unnecessary and that, falling a fair settlement in the interval, he will have to go again next year, it is not a matter for regret however. There Is much useful work that the premier can do in England, it Is from the British Islands tbat we hope to attract settlers to British Columbia, and Mr, McBride will now have au opportunity of studying conditions for himself, and determining what measures are necessary to attract them. Seven Juvenile offenders were dealt with in the police court this morning- It is of coure regrettable that children of tender years have to be publicly reprimanded and punished. In some cases perhaps parents are hardly able, from absence or other cimcumstnnces, to exercise the care of their children,that they owe to the children, to themselves and the community. Bui children indulged in lawlessness are almost certain to graduate into the class of professional criminals. Only prompt and effective deterrent punishment at the outset can save them. Under the circumstances either to shield or pardon the ofTeuders would be not kindness but cruelty. The grievances of fruit growers on the West Arm, and of the Nelson Wholesalers' Association, will remain in abeyance for a time. While there ls no freight, there can be no freight rate disputes. We congratulate our esteemed morning contemporary, The Daily News, on the completion of five years of useful existence, and wish It many more that may be profitable as well as useful. BLUNDER IN RESOLUTION Important Clause Omitted From Petition on Subsidy Readjustment ���A Year'a Delay. Ottawa, April 22.���In the address to the King, which has passed the Commons, respecting the proposed increased subsidies to the provinces, It is believed an error has been made. The address purports to be based upon resolutions which were agreed to by representatives of tlle several provinces at a conference at Ottawa last November. The following resolution, which ls to be found on page 4, has been omitted: "The populations us ascertained by tlie last decennial census to govern except as to British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and as to these four provinces, population to be taken to be that upon which, under the respective status, annual paymeuts now made to tbem respectively by the Dominion, are fixed until the annual population is by census ascertained to be greater, and, thereafter, the actual pop ulatlon ao ascertained to govern." The omission waa discovered by Senator Ferguson after the address was sent to the senate. As submitted by the government It would only nilow Manitoba a per capita allowance until 1911 on a population as ascertained by the decennial census of 1901 Instead of by the quinquennial census of 190C, and estimated Increases In population within the present quinquennial period. The Iosb to Manitoba in five years would be somewhere between $500,000 and ��G00,000, while Alberta and Saskatchewan wot||d suffer proportionately, part of the minister of justice to stralgthen out the tangle. As the ad- dresB deals with financial matters the senate cannot amend it. The orror. moreover, not being one which occurred in the Commons, but In tho department Old Curiosity Shop If you want to buy or sell anything, go to the Old Curiosity Shop.

Applj HABBY WILLIAMS, WTSr Ilaf HotsL It would require some Ingenuity on the of justice, cannot be corrected by an Interchange of messages between them. Apparently the only course open for the governmenl Is to begin de novo in Commons, hut in that event Speaker Sutherland may feel himself bound by his recent ruling against .Mr. Bourassa's secoud motion regarding "Wine, Women and Grafe" charges. Further, the passing by the Commons of another address would be a violation of principle that a Bdcond mol lon having tlie sanie object as the one already passed cannot b<> accepted during the same session of parliament. It will be Interesting to observe how the government will wriggle out of the difficulty. TIMBER NOTICES.

Under the caption "Labor Notes by a Labor Man," In Saturday's issue of The Morning Albertan, of Calgary. A. B. R. contributes the following plain Btatement on the coal miners' strike, Itn causes and probable course: In this trouble between the coal miners and operators of Alberta and southern British Columbia, there are many things that the average citizen does not understand, aB there must be in all coal mine troubles. And It Ib unfortunate for the mlnerB that it is so, for those who know something of the bUBiness and what the men are up against are the readiest to sympathize with them. Hut there is one outstanding fact which should be lost Bight of by no one, and that Is that the miners are greatly dissatisfied with the conditions under which they have been working, and the way ln which they have been treated by Ihe operators. This was shown conclusively by the overwhelming vote In favor of a strike and the fact that the men did not even wait to get the consent of their union before going out. These men have not gone out for the mere pleasure of loafing. They have had too much loafing already this winter. President Sherman stated at a public meeting in Calgary some time ago that during the time when the whole West was Buffering from want of coal, the miners were experiencing the slackest season they had ever known. This was caused hy lack of cars to convey the fuel, and the men were being laid off continually. This Btatement by Mr. Sherman was corroborated by the memorandum isBued by tbe Frank board of trade last fall, which Btated that the mines in that district had been working only about half time.
