Part of their report it as follows: 'Our services being acoepted by both partial, we took up the duties of a conciliation board. After teveral interview! had been held between the I'boord of conciliation, theoompany and committee representing the trackmen, we succeeded in obtaining a basis of tettlement which we believe to be ba reasonable and fair under the present condition of the strike tituation and recommended that lt be accepted by tbe trackmen, explaining to them that the terms submitted were equal to those obtained by any of tl.e otlier organization! in their flnt .Sorts lo obtain recognition. After the terms ot tetilement had been fully explained to tlle trackmen and a rote taken by them, the following letter wat presented to the board of conciliation by the chairman of the trackmen: "Montreal, Aug. 15���Mr. Charles Pope, Chairman of Conciliation Cs-iu- iniitee: The terms of settlement pro posed by tha General manager of tho CP.lt.

We believe a board of arbitration com- pond ot lair-minded men would render a decision mora favorable to tl.e men wo represent than has been prepare I by the general manager; therefore we will request the members of the con dilation committee to recommend that the matter be settled by arbitration, " Hoping it will bo continent with thst views of the members of your com snittee to comply with thit request, and thanking you for the effortt made to bring about a proper understanding and fair settlement, we are very truly yours, (Signed) "J.

" We, as a board of conciliation, feel that our duties as mediators have ended and that nothing further oan be done by us unless President Wilson, of ths B.K.T.O.A., will agree to leave the olty within 24 hours and not to interfere in any way with either committee, and will give authority to ths trackmen's committee to declare thetrike oS, wbtn, In their judgment, a reason able and fair bails of settlement oan be effected."

Ai the obstruction was round a carve the engineer in oharge of the train wat unable to tee it until too late to avoid a collision, tnd the engine and flnt four oan were derailed as a result of the contact. Fortunately no lots of life resulted, and the Engineer, Fete Righter, was the only man to sustain nny serious injury; his leg being fractured a little above tho ankle. Mail Clerk Allan, who received a slight cut on the head, was tl.e only other person injured. The Company sent a special train and two doctors to the spot directly the news of the accident was received, and at 6 o'clock on Monday evening, the passengers, mail, etc., arrived at Vancouver on thu relief train. Pete Righter was also brought down by Dr. Weld to St Paul's Hospital. Pete Is one of the oldest drivers on the line, and is Very popular all along the line. At every stopping place on the way to Vancouver, a large number of Pete's friends were waiting to know how "Pete* was, and Lt the depot his car was surrounded by those anxious to be assured that their friend was not in any danger. During the evening Dr. Welti and the surgeons in charge ot the injured man found that the fracture was so serious at to necessitate the amputation of the left foot, which was removed from about two inches above the ankle. At a late hour the patient was reported to be progressing as well as could bo expected. Many enquiries were made at the Hospital and ot the officials as to Pete's condition, as not only is he an old engineer, but he also holds the diatindhn ot having brought the first train into Vanoouver.

LaBlanc, pilot of the tteamer, makes the following statement concerning the wreck of the Islander: ��� Capt. LaBlanu aaya that he sent the* watchman back to report nud asked1 how she wus making. The watchman said, "She is filling." Capt LaBlauc's account of the events which followed is given in his owu words by tlie Colonist ns follows: "I realized that we must put tho steamer ashort at once, and after ordering ths helm hard a-starboard I rang for both engines to go full speed ahead. As I did so, I told Capt Footu that it was our only chance to put her on tho beach. Capt. Foote did not seem to realize the danger and he said to me, "I dou't think we'll beach her here, for the bssach i* too steep. We'll run her back to Hilda Bay, and the ship can be saved if we put her ou there.'1 'Seeing at that time that the steamer was settling duwnby the head, I urged Capt Foote not to go to Hilda Bay,but to beach the steamer right where she was, which was about three quarter.. of a mile, or it may have besn u mile, Irom shore, uu tl.e e.sst e..d of tl... south shore uf Douglas l-.la.id. Capt. Foote though, seemed to think that the vessel might be ;_oi lo the better beach at Hilda Bay, but thou seeing for himself how the steamer was taking water, he ordered her to the beach at once.

Vernon Harcourt (Liberal) and Mr Chnmlserhin, the colonial se're.ary.over Lsjird KiioKtSner's p����- clamasion. Sir William charscterlxed it. at a "iniiithievout document, the aspiration ot neither Lord Kitchener nor Lord Milner. but of the minittry ot Natal.* He declared the Government lu arming naiivet waa reverting to* a practice which hail left thi darkott Main on the history ot war between England and Aintrict. The new policy ot the Government promised to be neither creditable nor effeotive and wat in contravention ot all the fundamental principles of the St Petersburg conven tion. The oountry would weloome a statement on the status of the war on which they were spending ��5,000,000 a month although it wit declared end ed at the cloie ol the last setsion. l'3I.ONIAr. SBC1U5TA11Y BEPI.IBS. Mr Chamberlain said the war ttatus was clearly indicated hy Lord Kitch euei's weekly reports. He, himself had gone out of the prophesying business, but he assured the speaker that the Government's attitude was the only method ot ending the war. The colonial secretary declared that tho use ol native troops was no new polioy. It h.d been pursued without adverse criticism. The Indian troops iu China hnd been co operating with the troopt ol five ot the highest civiliz'd powers. Regarding the banishment of burghers Mr Chamberlain laid Great Britain had aright to enaot what laws she chooses for the government of a country acquired by, conq-iest. Tne Boers must be taught that they cannot longer carry on 11 guerilla warfare at no personal risk while Great Britain fed thsir women and ohlldren. He compared the conditions In South Africa and the Philippines and said ti.e polioy of America as del.rcd byGeneral Me- Ailhur's proclamation would certainly he lhe policy uf Great Britain if the campaign degenerates into a war of banditti. Rxgni'ding the,devastation policy Mr. Chnmh rlnin said it was nothing compared with General SI.er* man's campaign. He htd talked with Gen. Sherman himself and Sherman justified his action on the ground of humanity; Mr Chamberlain also said there wat no foundation trr the report that Lord Kitchener was coming home .un. ASQUiTii.

Palliser, August 21���The failure ot government by parties, ns in Canada, the Old Country and other civilised nations, has caused this publication ot a lot cf literature advocating radical changes and reforms in the administration of publio affairs. It it pointed out that party government, with all it* rivalrvs jealousy, and international strivings, expends fat too muoh energy and vitality in offensive and defensive operations that have no bearing tor the permanent good nnd stability of the Oountry. A man has only to look about him and read the paper* tu bt Impressed with the necessity for reform. For instance, Ottawa authorities framed the alien labor law a (ew years ago, today it is openly violated by th* C.P.R. in the present trackmen's strike by importing foreigner* from thn United States. This law is an utter failure, because the vary Government that passed it has not. the courage to enforce it. In England there is n law for tbe peer and another for the peasant, as witness the recent trial of a nobleman by lords instead ol n trial by jury in the regularly constituted court* ot the country. This criminal was not treated as Jabei Bailout or Hoolsiy beoause ol his noble (?) and titled pedigree. In some o( the United States where justice cannot be obtained the people were driven to the extremity ot being a law unto t hemsolves - hence there is lynch law with a vengence. There ia nothing that breeds discontent so readily aa the partial administration o( jitstice-in making fish of one and flesh of another. Irrespective of position, person, or corporation the law was made for all alike, and the Government that makes any deviation from this fundamental priuciple.is signing its own death warrant and iaclulating a spirit ot rebellion in the people. The manual laborer of today has enough to harass and irritate him in his struggle lor daily bread without having the law administered in ft discriminating manner agaiust htm, and the Government that leagues with railway or trust lu oppression ol the poor is ooinmitiln-i a sin that will bring in its train a swift and dire reward. As aii illustration of the, tactics o( some C. P.R. officials, in tbeir efforts to secure men to take the place o( striking bridgemeu, eight men wer* induced through misrepresentation to leave New Brunswick,'where ihey were em- jsloyed on bridge work and come to Britisli Columbia. They were told there was no strike ol bridgetnen here, and were guarantees! three month*' work and a free pass baok home it they would accept. On Arriving nt Field their tickets were collected and they were told to begin work on Otter mil bridge. Meanwhile the men learned ot lho bridgetnen's strike nnd on arriving at Ottertail manfully refused to become scabs, and so informed the foreman. In thi* inttancethe grossest deception was used to lure these men. away from home and their employ ment there, whioh conduct is deserving of th* severest censure i( not o( pro** oution by law ot tho offender. Th* meu report that none of the striking trackmen have returned to work on thn division where they were employed, The bridgemeu did not strike in N. B. Miss A. Allan I* confined to her home wilh so injured foot. Gtoricus weather! Ths thermometer registered 83 degrees ot beat in ths shade one day last work, it being the wannest dnv of the season.

Ths Cssr tt Russia has accepted tht inritniiop of President Lsjobtt to view tht French naval mansavsrs. Ths C. P, R. bus obtained a judgment ordering striking foremen to vacate section houses. Tht end ol ths strike seems to be in tb* distance. Cassitc's census returns were lost on tht wrecked steamer Islander. The work will havt to bs dont all over again. Edmonton district orop* will bs ths largest on record. Ths yield o( ostt in western Alberta is placed at 2,000,000 bushels. Count Von Waldertee mads a vstled allurion to Britain in a recent speech as being among ths nations whose "nafnes paled in China." The Manitoba Government estimate the season's grain in ths provinoe is placed at: Wheat, 48,867,000: total uli grains, 85,491,000 bushels.

There is great rejoioing among tht striking steel worker! at Pittsburg ovsr tht action ot ths employees o( ths National Tubs Co, in joining ths strike. It adds about 1,800 men to tht force of ihes'riktrs. Tht unsatisfactory arrangements madt for distributing the harvesters on their arrival in Winnipeg is said to be the cause of recent dissatisfaction It is believes! by offlolal* that 20.0CO men are require 1. ��� Th* strike situation on the C.
