Oailj Edition No. 214. Nelson, British Columbia, Monday, January 16, 1899. Ninth Year WAS TOSSED ABOUT m. Experience of the British Steamer Melrose. HAD A NAREOW ESCAPE Gomes Into Port With All Her Pumps Working and Three Inohes of Water in Her Hold. Boston, Mass., Jan. 14:���Tbe Britii-h steamer Melrose arrived here today from Barry, Scotlntid, after a most tempestuous trip, during which she narrowly escaped foundering iu mid-ocean, owing to a leak in one of her ballast tanks. Ab it was, the steamer came into port with all her pumps working and three iuches of water in her hold. The ship leaked about six inohes au hour and will be docked here for repairs. The Melrose left Bary ou Deoember 23 and thtee days latter it was found that she waa making water in her No. 1 hold through a balleBt tank. He bilge pump was started and for a time it kept the water down, but Ihe increasing westerly Kales with fearful Beae, probably opened the plates, for the leak, inoieased until Jau. 11, when there was six feet of water over the tHnk. Matters now were decidedly serious and it became a question whether the pumps, lhe ballast and hand pumps bav ing beeu brought luto notion, could free the vessel or at least keep Ihe water from gaining. The situation became still more threatening when at midnight on the 11th,a terrific sea boarded the steamer and stove in the Mi I ah) ! aid door*, disabling the air and band pumps, The steamer stopped, falling off into the trough of the sea and telling fearfull) uutil she shipped fonr heavy Bliiuncl- ions, whioh luoke boards in the csi >iiig<. Had tbe bulkhead between tbe Nn, 1 and 2 holds gone down, ihe fluc must have sunk. A tew lepairs were, however, effected and aliln imb leaking over eight inohes an hour, the pumps then began lo gi.in on the wati r uud the Melrose readied port in -nlely. The si earner on the llltli met the Beveie onld Wavi which passed over tbe country on (h- 11th and 12th and great musses of ice formed on the rigging. Frequently the rooking of Ihe ship would break off huge chunks of ice ami many of the crew had narrow escapes from being struck, whiei no doubt w(itiltl huve severely injured, if not killed them. There were six incbe^ of ice on tho main deck when Bhe arrived, while tbe riggiug was heavily loaded. GERMANS AKE INDIGNANT. Objects to Statements Made as to Their Financial Conditions. Berlin, Jan, 14.���Considerable iudig- nation; in evincod at the unfavorable reports emanating from Loudon concerning the economical and financial conditions of Germany, especially tbe statement that leading English banks recently declined to accept Prussian bills for a largo amount. This statement is declared to be utterly untrue and calculated to unfavorably impress the German houses with rospect to the impending loans. The National Zeitung points out that the present financial tightness is solely due to the extraordinary expan sion of German industries which has absorbed immense quantities of capi- tul, adding: "This led to a raise iu the rate of discount and a Blight decline iu Prussian and Imperial loans." RHODES AND HIS RAILROAD. London, Jan. 14.���Mr. Cecil Rhodes, the former premier of Cape Colony, and managing director of the Chartered South Africa Company, arrived in London from Capetown today.

Mr. Smith says the British Parliament would probably consent to give the Commons the power of passing mensure by two thirds or three fifths majority over the Senate vote. Tbe Globe ndds: "All Mr, Smith's amendment would do, would be to lessen tbe Senate's power of obstruction, but it would leave tbe main question still to be settled. We see uo way of settling it satisfactorily, except by abolition." BECOMING EPIDEMIC.

George Gourand, who of his own motkm, asitmed the leadership of the American wing of the Anglo- Americau movement in London. Colonel Gourand first came forward on the arrival of General Lord Kitchener, of Khartoum, in England. The Colonel went to Dover to greet lum and is the most co; spicuou.-i figure iu the kinetogoope pictures of the event shown in the music halls.

Maju, President of theCotiri of Cuss tion. ti synopsis of the evidence which he says he would have giveu at the Dreyfus revision inquiry if safe conduct had beeu grunted him. He admits his relations, during 1891-95, at the request of Colonel Bandberr, Chief of the information bureau at a foreign uget cy. The Court claims that he supplied the Colonel with important Information enabling him to combat the intrigues of an individual, well known, but whose positioi made it unsafe to act openly against him. Esterhazy adds that he was warned a month ahead, of Matthew Dreyfus' intention and denounced it at the instigation of Colonel Picquart, Subsequent to this, he had closest relations with his superiors and acted thiorigh- ou t on their instructions till January 7th, 1808, wnen, he claims, the war ministry suddenly assumed a hostile attitude towards him, Fresh proceedings, the Count as- seits, were instituted at ihe instigation of his cousin, with a view lo getting out of the way and preventing him from testifying before the Court of Cassation. In conclusion Esterhazy sins: "Alone, exiled, abandoned by those who should have defended me, I li,.ve resisted the most tempting otfeis ������ind have refused to say, or write, a word about my chiefs. I hope the ���stin will be spared me of having to appeal to the tribunal of public opinion fiom the decision of the Court of Cessation."

SEND MANYTELEGEAMS It is Because He Voted to Grant a Li quor Licer.Be to Abe K. Johnson. Beaten at every turn and now in the last stages of despair, the Houston- Turner people are credited witi an effort to force the resignation of Police Magistrate E. A. Crease, because��� and for this reason alone���he did his duty as a member of the Board of License Commissioners in voting to award to Abe N. .Tohdson a license which the Mayor of Nelson had promised him (Johnson) and had afterwards denied him. It has long been known that Mr. Houston \v :s not quite pleased with Mr. Crease as Police Magistrate. He could not do with him ns he could with others associated with him, and there is little doubt that Mr. Houston would at any time have been more than pleased to have Ind���speaking politically���Mr. Crease's scalp. Mr. (���rouse's action at the Saturday meeting of the License Commissioners���an account of which will he found elsewhere���was the last straw. It had iiee.n hoped by the Houston-Turner peo;ile thnt Mr. Crease would vote against rho Johnson license, but in lhis they wero disappointed. He voted with Mayor Neelands, and as he was already on record in the minute books. Mr. Turner, the third member of the Commission alone voted in the negative. 11 comes to The Minor on what seems to be very good authority that immediately after the conclusion of Saturday's meeting, John A. Turner, John Houston and other friends of Robert Lemon, who bad hoped to secure the Mnllotte license, despatched telegrams to Victoria demanding the head of Mr. Crease. It is now generally believed, and hardly to be doubted, that it was in the interests of Mr. Lemon, that Mr. W. A. Macdonald was removed from the Board of License Commis- -ioners and John A. Turner placed thereon. With Mr. Houston re-elected Mayor, whatever action Mr. Crease night take as a member or the Board, would make no difference, ns Messrs. Houston and Turner would be in the majority and Houston could dictate bis wants. They were not looking for Hamilton George Noelands in the capacity in which thoy found him Saturday, and as no pressure they can bring to bear can secure his removal, Mr. Crease is the one that must now go. Therefore they began a move which thoy hoped would result in the removal of Mr. Crease. Mr. Turner, of course, as Government Agent here, is tho leader in the movement He lost no time Saturday night iu getting to work aud it is said that in addition to his messagos several wero sent by I riends of his und Messrs. Houston aud Lemon. The messages had hardly beou transmitted, however, before tho alleged action was known to the friends of Mr. Creasu. The wires became overheated so swiftly did the messages follow each other. Hon. J. Fred Hume must have had a messenger at his door every minute throughout Saturday and yosterdav. Some of the messages were exceeding warm aud Mr. Hume now knows a groat deal more about the situation here than ho did When he arose Saturday morning. At any rate, he knows that a majority of the very best and most highly respocted citizens of Nelson���some of them his strongest supporters���object most strenuously to Mr. Crease's removal as Police Magistrate.

Slocan City, Jan. 4, 18U& The Country is growing tired of these academic discussions of the Senate. The latest outbreak was caused by the Premier's plan of reform, given out at a meeting in Montreal a short time ago. His proposal is that when differences arise between the Senate and the Commons, there shall be power to hold a joint session of the two Houses, when the majority of both shall decide, That is Mr. David With Kitchener to Khar- Mills's plan, announced some time ago. It is the plan which they think of adopting in the Australian [)octor Thorne New Books. toum, by Stevens, $1.50 KOOTENAY SUPPLY CO. Groceries, Provisions, Mining Sup plies, Mining Drill Steel. WHOLESALE P. O. Box 214. Vernon street, Nelson, B. C Mail Orders A Speciality. There is doubtless a right sid and a wrong side to every question, but the strange thing is we can never agree as to either. For example, we find The Record,of Rossland, strongly objecting to the proposed legislation to exclude aliens from working our placer mines, and strongly approving the intention to prohibit the employment of Japanese in the mines of British Columbia. There are others no doubt who will quite as strongly support the legislation against aliens and oppose the discrimination against the Japs. Others again will support both, and still others oppose both. And all will govern their conduct by what they most conscientiously believe to be their duty as good, loyal citizens of the Province. Here are wide differences of opinion, and experience teaches that they cannot be reconciled. They cannot all be right; in the face of so many differences, indeed, it is obvious that many of them must bei n the wrong. One would think there should be no difficulty in coming to a'right judgment overthe proposal to exclude Americans from our placer mines. If not a proper thing to do, we should not support it. It can scarcely be proper when so directly opposed to every tradition of the British race. We do not refer to the politicians, who will do anything to enrry favor with the voters; nor do we refer to the voters whose highest conception of public duty or public policy is their own self-interest. If we exclude Americans, merchants on the Coast may get more complete hold of the Atlin trade. Is it worth while to commit an act that is wrong in itself to secure this object? The merchants who will be benefitted will say it is, for they are actuated purely by selfishness; and the politicians who hope toget votes by it will do the same. But why should honest, disinterested men support a proposal to go back a hundred years in our civilization, to enact legislation that will put our Province on a par with China? Some of the American States do it to us, it will be said. But that is no reason. We are poor creatures if we feel obliged to demean ourselves by being unneighborly because we have unneighborly neighbors. On no principle oi right can such legislation be justified; and aside altogether from principle, we shall be greatly mistaken if it does not prove had policy from the point nl material interest alone. The legislation against Japs is cran less defensible than the other. ! It is not only opposed to British I principle, but is contrary to British policy. Our Mother Country has made herself great and glorious by scheme of federation. But it wi not satisfy the Canadian people, for the reason that it would render the Senate an entirely subordinate body, I and therefore a useless one. The chief organ of the Liberals continues to advocate complete abolition. Mr. Goldwin Smith suggests an amendment that would enable the Commons to over-ride the Senate by a two-thirds or three-fourths majority These discussions are purely academic. The constitution of lhe Senate is not a live issue; the public thought is not disturbed by it, and the only persons who manifest interest enough to become excited over the question are a few of the leading partisans who for the moment feel disappointment at being checked by the Senate. The great body of the people do not recognise that there is the least necessity for a change, and if they were asked to pronounce on it would vote to retain it just as it is. It was intended to be a check on the Commons, and it would be a remarkable thing indeed if it were to be abolished or weakened merely because it is serving the purpose for which it was created. When the Canadian people desired to escape from the deadlock of 1864, they asked for a Federal union with a constitution similar in principle to that of the Mother Country. They got it, and they are satisfied with il. There are two Houses, of co-ordinate powers, one elective and the oilier nominative. The latter corresponds, as nearly as our circumstances will admit, to the British House of Lords. And the incomparable Gladstone, in lln height of his power and popularity was never able to excite the British people against the House of Lords. Neither Sir Wilfrid Laurier, nor any other person can excite the Canadian people against the Senate. The Senate displeased the Liberal party by rejecting two or three of its measures, hence the cry for its mending or ending. The Senate, like the House of Lords, is not expected to resist the clearly expressed will of the people. If lhat Teslin railway deal, for instance, had the support of the country, it was the duty of the Senate to agree to it But the Senate did not so believe, and accordingly it rejected it. It was precisely for sueh a purpose it was created. If the Laurier Government thought the Senate mistaken and were eager to rebuke it they had the remedy in their own hands; they could have appealed to the people, and if sustained the Senate would have had to yield. But the Government knew better; they were afraid lo challange such an issue, and ever since their most active partisans have been venting their disappointment by scolding the Senate. They might us well whistle against the wind. Linnet, H. Rider Haggard. Grant Allen. Britain's Roll of Glory, D. H. Parry. Fights For the Flag, W. H. Fitchet Deeds That Won the Fmpiie, W. H. Fitchet.

NELSON DAILY MINER, MONDAY, JANUARY 16, 1899. i JOHNSON AT UST Board Awarded It To Him Saturday. TURNER FOUGHT HARD Police Magistrate Orease Sticks to His Former Record and Votes With the Mayor. Tho city of Nelson Ims paid its debt to Alio N. Johnson, It remained for Mayor Neelands lo carry out the prom Ise made to Mr. Johnson by John Hi 11s- tnn, when the latter was mayor, anil which promise was made in his official capacity as iniiyi r. The Board of License Coininisiiners Ha'iirilny after noon awarded Mr. Johnson Ihe license transferred from Mrs. Mellette, anl Mr. Johnson Immediately opened his saloon. It was up u motion of Mayor Neelands lhat this action was taken. He was supported by Mr. Crease uud opposed hy John A. Tuner, the third member of the commission, who has been Interested in securing the license for Mr. Lemon. Thismatt-r was the first taken up at the meeting. Alayt r Neelands after culling the meeting to order uskeil for the reudiug of the minutes of the hist regular meeting of the Board and of the special meeting of Dec. 27 at which was rescinded the resolution passed at the previous meeting transferring the license to Mr Johnson. His Worship then moved that the minutes of the special meeting, iu so far ns they related to the Malletto license, be expunged from the records and that the minutes and records of the meeting of December 14 be restor ed to rend ns they read originally. Mr. Crease seconded Mavor Neela ds' motion, explaining as he did so that he had supported the original motion when Mr. Johnson had heen granted the transfer and that he had refused to act wilh Mr' Houston ond Mr. Turner nt the special meeting when the former action hail been rescinded. On principal he was opposed to the granting or transfer of a license for a saloon on linker street, but there were peculiar exigiences in this particular case. It WS8 hut justice lhat Mr. Johnson should secure the license; the circumstances in the case compelled him to act us he had. In reply to Mr. Turner's question as to what effect the passage of the resolution before the Boprd would have, Mayor Neelands said that it give Mr. Johnson the license he had been promised by the ex-mayor. Mr. Turner then addressed the hoard ut some length. Such action as was proposed, he said, would be illegal. He had consulted the Attorney Gen eral of the Province, he claimed, ad had been Informed hy him that the stand was Ihe proper one. He argued too, that Mr. Johnson's application snould have been accompanied by ii petition. It was only a menus of ovad- ng the law which provides that a license cannot be granted without a petition and lie did not believe that the residents in the vicinity of Mr. John sou's saloon wanted it there. Mr. Neelands intimated that there were other blocks ou Baker stroet in which saloons wero and still others in which saloons could bo placed, and he did not believe that this should bo used as an argument ngainst Mr. Johnson. W. A. Galliher, an behalf of Mr. Johnson, also addressed the Board, pointing out that the Board would be acting strictly within its authority iu granting the transfer to Mr. Johnson. The provisions of tbe Municipal Clause Act, Mr. Galliher said, with regard to the transfer of a license from ono jerson to nnothor or from one place in another, did not provide for the signing of a petition by the property owners in the immediate or adjacent blocks ns is required in the eases of now licenses. A solicitor also appeared on behalf of Mr. Loniou. At tho conclusion of the argument Chairman Neelands put the motion which wus carried by his own vote and that of Mr. Croase, Mr. Tumor voting in tho negative. Tho minutes of Dec. U were therefore restored to their original shape. A resolution renewing all existing licenses, among them that of Abo N. Johnson wus then adopted and Mr. Tumor was defeated. The application of Robert E. Lemon, who had hoped to get the Malletto license, was then presented but ub there were uo vae.mt licenses to grant, Mr. Lemon's application was ordered returned. During tho meeting Mr. Turner and Mr. Lemon's solicitor referred to Mr. Crease's connection with tho matter, In justice to Mr. Orease, tho facts as they transpired, should bo given, At the meeting ef Deo. U there nu presented to the Board a request from Mrs. Malletto that her license be transferred to Mr. Johnson, Mr. Johnson at the same t����(B making implication OH his own behalf. On motion of Mr. Macdonald, seconded by Mr. Crease, the transfer was made. Mr. Houston who was then chairman, refused to issue tho license, in spite of the fact that it was shown lie had promised Johnson the license and had told him to go ahead and prepare to open his saloon and he (the mayor) would give him a permit to run until the License Commissioners met. Johnson subsequently opened up and was summoned for the sale of liquor without a licenso and fined by Police Magistrate Crease, Mr. Crease holding that the transfer was not complete without the sanction of tho Mayor, which sniicliou tbe Mayor hud refused to give. On Dee. ^2 the removal of Mr. W. A. Macdonald, who was a license commissioner, was affected and Mr. Turner appointed in his stead. On Dec. 2" n hurriedly called meeting was lield anil Mr. Turner and Mr. Houston caused to lie entered in the record book a resolution purporting to annul that Dart of the minntes of the regular meeting of Dec. 14. Mr. Crease took no part in this action, although being present, because of its former action and the promises made by the Mayor to Mr. Johnson. His action on Saturday went no farther than adhering to tbe position taken by him at the original meeting and simply restored to Mr. Johnson whatever rights ho may have anqnired hy reason of the former lotion, Fifteen ears uf freigh sou yesterday from th Crow's Nest Pass roi d. is destined lor other arrived iu Nel- ��� east over Ihe j A poll ion ��� f it towns in lhe Provinci son. but several ears are for Nel- .lletci'olegiail Id-purl (Observations taken by A.

Only two mines are shipping at present, the Vancouver and the Wakefield, the Oomstock Jlines holding back awaiting the completion of their concentrator and the Emily Edithmiue although sacking ore daily has not as yet commenced to'ship. When their output commences to come down our shipments will be more than doubled. Silverton ore shipments during the first two weeks of January, 18!)!), aggregated 123 tons thus: Jan. 2, Vancouver, mine 2D tons Jan. 1 Fidelity mine 3 tons Jan. ti, Wakefield mine 20 tons Jan. 9, Vancouver mine 10 tons Jan. 11, Wakefield mine 20 tons Jan. 13, Vancouver mine. ... 20 tons Total 123 tons Shipments during Dec. 30!) tons. # # �� E. Mansfield, who is managing the Jaker group is at thePhnir en route to the properties. Bis headquarters are iD Slocan City but ou account of the snow he has to reach the properties by way of the Molly Gibson nnd over the divide. Work on the Joker group is progressing actively. A shaft has been sunk 70 feet and three feet of ore has been struck, There is a hundred tons nf ore on the dump and a good value of gold is shown. * * * Mr. J. M. Williams, a West Australian Mining expert is at tho I'hair. This is Mr. William's first visit to British Columbia, but he has visited every other prominent mining country in the world. He has come lately from London aud is representing British capita), lie did not state the name of his company but it id one that has as yet no interests in British Columbia so considerable good to this Province mny result from his visit. "British Columbia is as yet but very little known in London" said Mr. Williams to a Nelsou Daily Miner reporter yesterday, ''it is only in the offices of private companies lhat one can see samples of 15. 0. ores aud there are no signs iu London thut the Government of this Province has done anything to advertise its mineral resources. The opportunities to do so by representaling ore displays at the show this summer at the Crystal Palace and at Paris in 1900 should not bo missed. However, I think that this year will see the investment of a great deal of British capital iu British Columbia as the attention of the monied men of the Old Country is being gradually turned to this country. But good advertising of whut you have to offer should do an immense amount of good." # * # D. W. Moore and U. A, Ciuriieham o theTiuil smelter uud 0. F. Smith of KoBsland are three well known mining men ut the Hume. Oue of the principal reasous that more mining property does not change bauds is the unreasonableness of so many owners, says the Mining and Metallurgi cal J"iiraa'.Capital is constaotlyjieekinir opportunities for investment; but i-i tin majority of instancfs,runs up against the snug whioh overturns so many possible sales i. e., Ihe man who has millions in prospective, but only hundreds in Bight. Why a capitalist should lake any mor< Chances in mining lln.n in any oilier business proposition is hard to discern. Hardly a claim, prospect or miue is oi the market today, that is not placed bigl above its actual value, said a prominen buyer recently. Tho difficulty arise* from the owner's igeoinnoe of u mine't "idue. The Boouer it is understood that claims and prospects are not mines, and even where ore has been developed, that investors will not generally pay for mine than there is in sight, the sooner will mon transfer be made. Ihis leads up lo what is termed "ore iu sight" upon which point bo many have bill, little idea. Ask some miners what they have in sight, and you will probably meet with the repulse that they have a shaft dowu 4(1 feet* and, as close as they can estimate, about 40,00(1 tons of ore in sight. Now by what method of calculation this is arrived at is hard to determine. Another will claim to have, say, iu figures, about 150.000 worth. Ask him what he will sell for, and he will tell you there is no doubt as to the ore going through to China, nnd he thinks that 8100,000 woultr- be about the right figure. He gives no Consideration to the fact that values con- tuiued iu the ore iu a mine and bullion returns are matters to be considered. That it takes money to erect mills, develop water, build roads, etc In other words it takes money to mine. While legitimate mining, as a rule, pays abetter interest ou the money invested than any other business, it is neither just nor right lo expect impossibilities. Ofleu- imes a mine, from which every available pound of ore has been sloped, will be placed ou the market at a high figure, and the bullion returns will be shown of pnBt productions. As well might a merchant pay a high figure for au empty store simply bcoause in days gone by it has done a g od business. Let the miue owner consider theBe matters. Let him be truthful of what he has to sell. For the investor will take accurate account of stock, and if hi.^ shelves are not empty und his price is in keeping with what he has to tell, be may dispose of his pro e.rty. * * * MINING fflANSFEltS THEATRICAL CLUB. Organization Will be Completed and Acive Worked Start This Week. This wei U will sec the organization of an amateur theatrical society in Nelson. Such a club has been spoken of for Rome time and judging by the number of people who wish to become members and lie identified with the movement these ea.'i be no doubt but that it will be successful. A city situated as this is must rely pretty well on its own citizens for whatever amusement is required and a theatrical society, capable of (living high class productions in nn attractive man ner, will be n very welcome addition to ihe city organizations. A meeting will be held this week to complete the formation of the club, and active preparations will be maih nt once for the first production which will probably open the new opera bouse, row in course of construction If the completion of the opera house is delayed too long a play will probably be prepared and produced in one of the halls now available. The time and place of the organization meeting will be decided today. Where no oonslieration is named in trunsfei the nominal sum ol it Is lu lie understood. "Crown Point"- L iwcrcnce.
