Daily Edition No. 531. Nelson, British Columbia. Wkdnesday, September 27, 1899. Tenth Year HALF A MILLION The Bank of British North America COLLECTOR SUSPENDED Department at Ottawa After Investigation Suspends a Bevelstoke Collector. Vancouver, Sept. 26.���The City of Seattle and Cottage Oity arrived at So- attle ou Sunday, from Lynn canal. Nearly 400 passengers wen on the re- turuing liners. The combined gold dust cargo of the two boats probably reached $550,000. The Bank of British Noith America, of Dawson, had a single Klondike shipment of nearly $400,000 which came on the Seattle. It was consigned through the Aluska- Pacific express company, an adjunct of the Northern Pacific, to the Seattld Government assay office. From the steamer tho gold was removed under police escort from the City of Seatth to tho Northern Pacific's depot express office,and later in the day was conveyed to the assay establishment. Vancouver, Sept. 86.���Chief Inspector MoMichael, of the Customs department, Ottawa, lias made an investigation of the amount at the Revelstoke eustoms office. As a result of the inspection the Revelstoke collector was suspended for irregularities. OBJECT TO THE POLES. walks that reach so far heavenward aud have nothing to keep pedestrians from stepping into unknown perils he- low on dark nights will be remedied. The Board decided that a railing would ho put on the sidewalk on tho south side of Si lira street, between Hondryx and Oednr. Several other minor matters were disposed of. Board of Works Wishes to Improve the Appearance of City Streets. The City must he oonsnlted when poles are erected in the streets and the request of the telephone company for permission to erect more poles, which came before tne Board of Works at a meeting held yesterday led to the Board coming out in favor of putting the poles in alleyways instead of along the streets. To the ordinary citizen there would appear to be no objection to such a change,as poles ou streets are always ungainly, hut the rights of the telephone company and the expense to which it would be put in making the change aro to be considered, so the Mayor and the chairman of the Board of Works wore appointed a committee to go into the matter with the company and see what oould he done to bring about the desired result. A petition from D. Morris and others for the grading of Baker street from Railway to Slocan was read, but the Board appreciatedjthe fact that a policy of retrenchment had to be inaugurated some time or other, and decided that there were ho funds available for the purpose. F. J. Bradley and others petitioned to have their properties on Victoria street, east of Josephine, supplied with a sewer, and it was decided to start on this work today. The question of allowing Mr. Madden to put in au area on the sidewalk to supply au entrance to the barber Bhop which will occupy the basement corner of bis new block was left over until the receipt of further information. There seemB to be a whole lot of mysterious things mixed up with this matter, and it is the intention of the City fathers to se'tle all of tne'n at ouce. The tenders for a fire alarm system were considered, but again the matter of no funds came up. However, it was agreed that there was no objeotion to a company putting in a system on a rental basis. The Board recommended that the Clarke Hotel he compelled to connect with the sewer on Victoria street, and that the City Engineer be instructed to stop any further discbarge into the Ward Rtreet drain. The Oity Engineer was also instructed to start work on the sewer on Kootenay street from Mines Road to the lane in Mock 28, and from Kootenay along lanes on blocks 15 and 28 on Stanley street. This work will he done by day labor. Two mon will he dispatobed to the fume to make a ditch to run water to Cottonwood Lake. One of those very objectionable side- WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY. Seattle, Wn., Sept. 26.���Supt. Prit- cbell, of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic survey, announces that he will make a new and somewhat novel use of wireless telegraphy. Next season the U. S. S. Pathfinder will be sent to Alaskan waters to survey the islands of the Aleurian groups near Unimak pass. The islauds, Pritchell says, have nev- or been correctly located on Government oharts and maps. The Pathfinder was built a year ago at Elizabeth, aud is equipped with the latest appliances and instruments, inoluding apparatus for the new system of telegraphy. Several islands of the Aleutian group lying between fifteen and twenty miles apart, near Unimak pass, have been selected as a field for the use of wireless telegraphy. By means of the system the difference in longitude of the islands will he determined to a fine point. TROUBLE AHEAD. Auckland, Sept. 26.���Advices from Samoa,under date of September 20, received here today, say quiet prevails there, but the feeling among the whites is that there is trouble ahead. It is added thnt Von Buelow, the former Lieutenant in the German army, who organized tho forces of Mataafa, has been going about the country interviewing the Mataafa chiefs. This was objected to by the British and Americans as likely lo accentuate the hostile feelings. The correspondent of The Gazette at Samoa has received cable instructions to remain at Apia. THE EARTHQUAKE. Washington, D. O, Sept. 26���A report received by the coast survey shows that the earthquake recently reported in Ynkatat Bay, was also felt in Prince William Sound. At Orca the shocks ccourred at half hour intervals, beginning at 2 :!I0 p.m., mean local time, on Sunday, Sept. 8. They were still continuing at 8 p. ra. on that day when the report closed. No damage was reported. BROKE AWAY. Seattle, Wn., Sept. 26���Advires received here slate that while the transport Viotory was at Dutch Harbor a band of horses numbering 400, belonging to the Government.en route to Manila, broke away from their keepers and stampeded. Seventeen were killed by jumping over a oliff. RIOT IN SPAIN. Ferrol, Spain, Sept. 26.���There has been renewed rioting here. The strikers' women and children attacked the men at work in the arsenal. Stones were thrown and revolver Bhots fired. The gendarmes charged and dispersed the mob. A number of persons were injured, including tho cammander of the irouclad Cardinal Cisneros. Troops are now picketed along the leading streets. GOOD RETURNS. Vancouver, B. C, Sept. 26���Mr. R. T. Ward, of Hosefly, visited Ashcroft last week and left with the Bank of British North America a substantial amount of gold from the Horsefly mine. The Horsefly gold mine bas so far this season shipped $25,000, the expenses having been only about $8,000. MOTOR OARS. Vancouver, Sept. 26.���Messrs. Armstrong and Morrison, who are tbo ohief movers in a local syndicate organized to place motor cars ou the Vanoonver streets, exhibited their first automobile in the city yesterday. GOLD COMING TO THIS SIDE. New York, Sept. 26.���Lazard Freres have engaged $1,000,0000 gold in London, for shipmont to America. MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT ILL. Vancouver, B. C. Sept. 26.-G. R. Maxwell. M. P., returned from Government business in the north today, seriously indisposed and under the doctor's and trained nurse's oare, ARE WORKING FOR PEACE Premier Schreivner Telegraphs in the Interests of Peace. SAYS THE IRISH AHE IN BONDAGE. Manifesto Issued by the Irishmen in Johannesburg- lution Passed Asking For the Recall of the Colonist Forces. -Reso- New York, Sept. 26.���The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The markets here were idle and heavy tolay, on account of Mr. Chamberlains's curt and emphatic dispatch to the Transvaal, which was interpreted in siiiiie quarters as meaning war. Pieterraaritzburg, Natal, Sept. 20.��� The troops that were yesterday moved from LadyBmith to Dundee, inoluding Leicestershire regiment, ^the Royal Dublin FiiHiloeis, 200 mounted infantry and the 18th Hussars, will form a new camp at Glencoe, their places being filled by others en route from India. The movement was executed so smartly and unexpectedly that the Boers were unaware of it, until it was actually accomplished. , Loudon, Sept. 26.���The general feeling including that of the pro-Boers, as indicated by articles in the afternoon newspapers today is that tbe published despatch of the Secetary of Stare for the Colonies, Mr. Jos. Chamberlain, to the British High Commissioner in Sooth Africa, Sir Alfred Milner, may clear tbe way for peace if the Boers desire it. In any event it is pointed out it* affords further delay, whijh, in the case of Great Britain, is certainly advantageous, as it gives the time for the reinforcement of the garrison at the Cape. The papers generally, however, express the hope that President Kruger will see his way to meet Great Britain's viev, and the Westminster Gazette, which is not an anti-Boer paper, says: "President Krnger and his advisers still have a chance of seouring peace with independence." In the meanwhile the despatch of troops to South Arica proceeds uninterruptedly. Three field batteries arrivod at Birkendead today aud will embark for Durban, Natal. A cablegram from Capetown says: "Quantities of stores and ammunition are leaving here daily. The movement of troops to Natal is merely a precautionary measure to Beoure the coal mines, and is in no wise in the nature of a menace. There are no Imperial troops on the immediate border. Rumors of collisions should be received with caution." Capetown, Sept. 26.���Tho Sot, i African News today prints a despatch from Pretoria saying the alleged ohange in the British jmblic opinion nnd the alarming roports subsequent to the mooting of the Cabinet aro considered hopeful signs. There is no official news from Bloomfontein. There is not the slightest doubt, though, about the attitude of the Orange Free State. At a meeting of tho Scndinavians there it was unanimously deoided to support the Government. Only 20 members of the Free State R-iad are in town,nnd it Is thought the Legislature v. ill dissolvo at any moiu��iit. The Jews at a meeting resolved to support the Government, and have oTered to equip and provision a police corps ot 200 men. Piet Krnger, grand- ion of the President of the Transvaal, in a letter to the Volksraad, asks whether or not it is the Government's duty to inform the Imperial Govern ment that any further landing of troops will be considered a casus belli. There iB feverish aotivity in all departments, and the despatoh of riders carrying instmotions to towns removed from the telegraph lines is continuous. recall the Colonists' forces ou the bolder, us their presence there is inimical to peace and is calculated to cause trouble with their fellow Afrikanders. Johannesburg, Sep. 26.���A manifesto has been issued here hy a number of Irishmen urging the Irish to strike a good blow at England, which has held the "Irish reople long in bondage." A telegram from Premier Schreiuer, Johannesburg, was read, saying the Government was working for peace. The meeting, notwithstanding, passed tho resolution, which was supported by two Justices of the Peace. London, Sept 26.���The Times todny has a despatch from Pietenmiritzbnrg, Natal, reporting that a meeting wheh has aroused a strong feeling among the Royalists was lie! I by the Afnknu- ders. A strongly worded resolution was passed aikiug tbe Government to Pretoria, Sept. 26.���The indications at the agency of the Transvaal Government in this city point to the belief that war is inevitable. Preparations are being made for removing the furniture frcm the headquarters, and the gloomiest impression in regard to the outcome of the crisis seems to prevail. Mr. Montague White, Consul General of the South African Republic in London, wished to return to Pretoria, but was informed by his Government that in the event of war he would be more useful at Brussels. DEWEY ARRIVES. Olympia off Sandy Hook.���Health Inspector Aboard New York, Sept. 26.���The Olympia, witb Admiral Dewey on board, arrived and anchored in the lower bay at 7 :40 this morning. Soon after noon a health officer left quarantine on a tug to board and in- soect the Olympia. Many vessels putting out to sea steered close to the flagship. Among them was the Cunard liner Amania. .Inst, after Aurania passed a launch from the Erin, with Sir Thomas Lipton on board, went alongside the Olympia. Tbe despatoh boat Dolphin, with Rear Admiral Sampson or his representative on board, hailed Dewey's ship shortly after one o'clock and fired the admiral's salute of 17 guns.

OTIS.'' RELIEF BY MOUNTED POLICE. Vancouver, Sept. 26.���Steamer Tees arrived from the north today, bringing news that Colonel Steele,of tbe Mounted Police, has despatched relief to the victims of the Mackenzie River trail, by Corporal Skirvrng and a small party whom he took into the wilderness from Ponupine month about a month ago. The expedition which is to verify reports as to the destitute condition of the Maokenzie River men, will go up the Porcupine to the portage to west ' Rat River, tben over the mountains to the Peel Portage to the Mackenzie, aud follow that river down as far as Fort McPherson. The men are provisioned for six weeks and have thoroughly competent guides. Their mission has been undertaken in consequence of the very distressing reports that have reached Dawson from the Fort Mo- Phorson country during the past six months. THE AFTERMATH. Washington, Sept. 26.���Consul Aynie reports to the State Department from Guadaloupe that tbe loss of property from tiie tropical hurricane amounts to at least $5,000,000. Forty deaths and over 200 seriously wounded are reported form vuiiouB parts of the island. Tho city is a mass of wreckage, while the harbor front is lined with wrecks of large and small boats. The Consul says the fiuit crop is a total loss, and that famine threatens the island. He says the series of misfortunes which the island has passed through, earthquakes, destructive tires and a financial crisis, probably will force the colony to appeal to the out side world for assistance. CHARGED WITH MURDER. Ogden, Utah, Sept. 26.���Tom Top- ham, a saloon keeper, is in jail,charged with murder, and Charles L. Webster, a cigar manufacturer, lies dead in his residence as a result of a quarrel over borrowed money, which took place Saturday. Webster said he had borrowed $5 from Topham and repaid him.

Seattle, Wn., Sept. 26.���Steamer Alliance arrived from St. Miohael this morning with 158 passengers, including Count de Carets aud Captains Richardson and WTalker, United States Army.

Captain Walker commanded the St. Michael and the Capo Nome forces now in charge of Lieut. Cochran of the 7th infantry. Captain Walker spent several weeks at Cape Nome before hie rotnru. He declared the district one of groat riohnpBs, but says 1,200 or 1,500 people must leave before the close of navigation to avoid distress. Should all the population attempt to puss the winter at Capo Nonio, he believed there can but be shortage of both provisions and fuel. The beach wood supply is already running short. Captain Walker said men who come in from Dawson caused the meeting of miners which were dispersed. There was talk that the army stood in with the corporations and rich individuals. That is a bundle of absurdity, We did as wo thought proper. It was our duty to break up the meeting. REPORT CONFIRMED.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE THAT 13 THE QUESTION ABOUT THE MUSIO HALL. Aid, Hillyer's Proposition Has Stirred up Quite a Bit of Discussion Pro aud O011 Tln-re not iiuieb to talk about l,8Se days ao Aid. Hillyer's proposal in tbe City Council to allow a music ),all to be established in Nelson, provided a fruitful theme for conversation yesterday. A Miner man drifted around ami attempted to sound public opinion regarding the suggestion. Tlier' were nil sorts of arguments, pro and con, but it, seemed to be that the majority were in favor of opening such a place of amusement. "We should not countenance the opening of a place that would appeal only to the licentious," soirl one prominent merchant. "My experieuce in this oountry in that a music hall cannot lie couducted on a plan that will reflect nny credit on the City in which it is located. Mind you, I do not think that musio hnlls themselves are harmful, for where they are well conducted they provide much innocent amusement and assist young men to spend pleasant hours when otherwise they might be spending their time iu a much worse fashion. But, I think that Nelson is not yet large enough to support a music halt on tbe proper scale, aud until it is, we should do without one." "Why, certainly," said another citizen, "let tho boys bave a nn.sic ball- I have always been unalterably oppos cd to a comiqus, as it is known in this country, foi it is demoralizing, and in it the music is made to play a second fiddle to the bar receipts Of course, the mure high toned a place becomes the less of n dividend payer it is. But I have noticed the growth of a good many places in this western country, and I think Nolsot) is now ripe for the opening of a thoroughly first class musio hall. In wandering around the town at nights I have seen many single men. who spend most of their tiinn around salions, simply because they have no better pluce to go to, T.t becomes the duty of tho City to, so far as possible, pro-idn this class with some sort of amusement to keep them out of mischief. A music hull does not necessarily mean anything particularly terrible. It can be a very bright and attractive place, it can havo good performers wlio can sing well, and perhaps it can procure a young lady who can dance well���there can bo nothing objectionable in that. Now if I go to a theatre, no matter how good the show may be, I can always go out between the acts and get some liquid refreshments���what objection can there ho to my having them while the show is going on? Tho only possible objection lo a music ball is the fact thnt beer will be sold during performances, but those who attend could go out and get it anyway. It is much more eoni- foitable to sit in the sent and listen to n good song while sipping a claret lemonade through n straw than it is to rise directly after the song and (ramp across a muddy street to secure the same beverage. Now if we are going to have a music hall let us have one in which there will be no beautiful young ladies of uncertain' ages persuading yming gentlemen of tender years to imrcliase liquid refreshments, I think the authorities are quite capable of seeing thnt such a place is properly conducted. Of oourse, if it is too vulgar to appeal to some citizens they nan stay away" The arguments advanced against the establishment of a music hall on any lines were numerous, but thoy seemed to consist wholly of objections on the ground that it was demoralizing and beneath the dignity of the City to countenance. Why it should bo demoralizing the objectors did not know, but hascd their objections ou the experiences of other cities. There is no saloon licenso open iu Nelson, so it wil be necessary to put a by-law before tho people to see if thoy wish to grant another license, and incidentally to approve of the opening of a music hall One thing seems to bo eertain.and that is that if a musio hull t! started it will bo by Nelson money, as there are many property owners in the City who are willing to put their money into hucIi nu enterprise nnd do away with the necessity for outside people doing so. ence was the impact of the wheel against him, which knooked him fairly prostrate on the wnlk. The shock was very severe, and tbe Cartain has been suffering severely from it since. The cyclist, instead of stopping to apologize and see if any injnry had boon done, went ou bis way laughing merrily, and evidently considered vhe matter a huge joke. It was a scurvy thing to do, and showed the absence of any part of good breeding on the part of the rider Such leukless riding ns this should, by some means or other.be stopped. The Captain will, if he finds his booiish assailant, probably mete out swift justice to bim. Meanwhile some other luckless occupier of (he sidewalk mny be run over by this gentlemanly (?) rider.

W. Prentifi- and Wm. Waldie have been doing assessment on the Aim Lincoln and the American Eagle. They finished the work Saturday. These claims lay about six miles from Nelson, on Eagle Creek, between the Qranite mine and the Kootenay River. The property is a gold-copper proposition, and samples taken from the ledges run very high. * * ��� He came in from tbo Slocan last night and said this to The Miner: "Miners winked in the Slooau for seven years in perfect harmony with their employers, The rate of wages was |3.fi0 for ten-hoar shifts, nnd *! a day for board, During tbe panic of '98, when uo doubt labor could bave been procured for a less wage,the mine owners did not take advantage of the Situation, but raid the same rate right Moim. Tbe asking of the same wages for two hours less work has broken up the harmony between labor and capital. It will never be restored while tho present conditions exist. Mine owners now working are doing so under protest, fully believing that they are entitled to Letter treatment in a country still young in mining. Tiny claim that it would have been better tii have deferred experimental legislation until the mining business in B.

SHOOTING OV MR. BENNETT. Further Particular of the Snd Death of the Young Missionary. Mr. W. W. West, writing to Tho Miner from Pilot Kay. gives the particulars attending the death and funeral of Mr. J. K. Bennett, the young mis- sinnry, which was reported in The Miner of the 23rd inst. Mr. West says: "I took the residents of Pilot Hay over to the funeral in the Haly. The funeral was largely attended, aud the eh arch and casket was literally covered with flowers. "��� Mr. Bennett and Mr. Shaw went out gunning from Ainsworth on Thursday, the 22nd inst. When abont il miles from the Highland mine they wero descending the mountain to a creek for water, with Mr. Shaw about 200 yards in advance. Mr. Bennett must have slipped, holding the muzzle of the gun in his hand, using Iho gun as a walking stick, when it went off. The report of the gnn brought Mr. Shaw bark, where he found __.' Bennett lying with his head down the hill and his left arm blown entirely off. He wus bleeding badly, aud Mr. Shaw used his shirt for a bandage. After doing everything in his powei for the wounded man Mr, Shaw went to tbe No, 1 mine for help. It was over two hours before he procured assistance and returned with a oot. Mr. Bonnet by this time had lost nearly all of his blood, but he wns taken as quickly as possible to Kaslo, to the hospital. It was night when they arrived, but iu just a few hours afterward he was brought hank to Ainsworth a corpse, aud laid out in his own church. The large attendance from all points ou the lake showed with what respect and esteem he was held everywhere he was known. THE SAMOAN CLAIMS. May Be Settled on a Basis Adopt d By Great Britain. Washington, Sept. 86. --The three Governments interested in Samoa, Great Britain, Germany and the United States, have been considering the claims arising out of the bombardment last summer in which the American forces under Admiral Kautz and the British forces under Captain Ktnr- dee participated. As a preliminary step the British Government has siguilied a pnrpi.se to adopt in this case the principle observed iu the damage done by the bombardment of Alexandria, Egypt, namely, that private property destroyed as a necessary incident to prosecution of naval and military operations would be paid for. While applying this general principle, the adjustment of the various claims is yet to he made according to the circumstances of each. The olnims are being considered undor the main heads, viz: Those arising from the joint naval operations of the British and American forces; and second, those growing out of the operations of the Samoau natives, chiefly the followers of Mataafa. It is understood that the British and German authorities are agreed upon the genoral principle that the bombardment and naval claims ahould be reimbursed. This, however, it is assorted, imposes no obligation on Germany to slime iu meeting tbe claims as the German forces did not participate in the bombardment, It. is saia also that no proposition has beeu made to have Germany pay a part of tho Samoau damage by tbe Mataafa forces. The course of the United States has not yet been fully determined, as to claims arising from naval depredations. So far as known, all the claims under consideration aro for property loss, there being no present basis for hing New, Novel and Original. 0 "The Cat Serenade." 0���''The Tennis Quintette." 0 -''The 3-Legged Sailor. and a GRAND CAKE WALK by the Entire Company as interpreted by America's Four hundred.
