Eleventh Year ELECTED DELEGATES Enthusiastic Meeting of the Conservatives of Nelson District. THE WANDERERS RETURN John Houston Pledges Sup- to Conservative Nominee. port Last Bight's meeting of the Liberal- Conservative Association of Nelson augurs well for the success of that party in this portion of the Yale-Cariboo district, li was a meeting whereat all nf the factions of the party were united, and nun who have not for some time affiliated with the Conservatives cheered with those who have never strayed away tlie names of Sir Charles Tupper and Hugh Johu Maodonald. Mayor John Houston was iilicof tlicse..'ind lie with Others signed his niUUC to the articles of the Liberal Conservative Association and pledged his support to the nominee of the Conservative convention in Kevcl- stoke tomorrow, no matter who that nominee may be. The meeting was culled for the purpose of selecting delegates to the convention and was largely attended. John Toye and Fred .1. Slnrkey were chosen respectively chairman and see- relary ami all who were present and lint members of the association signed their names to the articles ami became active members and actlvo Conservatives. The nominations for delegates placed before tbe meeting the following gentleman: J. B. Animhle, 9. 3. Bradley, Jacob Hover, .1. A. Klrkpatrlok, Peter La- i it, W. I'I. Mcl'andlish. C.

McCanillisli, ���'ind John Houston. M. P. P. After the selection of delegates, Mr. VY. A. Macdonald moved, and (I. L. Lennox seconded the adoption of the following resolution: "Resolved that this meeting of Liberal-Conservatives of the Dlstirot of Nclsnn expresses its confidence in Sir Charles Tupper as tlieir leader and hails with satisfaction the return of Hugh John Maodonald to Dominion politics, This meeting pledges itself to use all legitimate means toward tlle election of the nominee ofthe Liberal- Conservative Party for Yale-Cariboo, thus assisting In the downfall of the Lanricr-Tartc adminislration." Tlic resolution w'lH unanimously adopted by n Standing vote and three hearty cheers were given for Sir 1 harles Tupper and Hugh John Maodonald, bune has h.d something pleasant lo say of the Liberal nominee. A wondrous change has been wrought, however, Last night Mr, Houston joined the Liberal-Conservative Association, pledged himself to support Mr, Galli- her's opponent and cheered with others for Sir Charles Tupper and Hugh John Macdonald. He did it all, ton. of his own free will. No combination of circumstances forced him to aet as lie did. He has broken away from the Liberals and burned liis bridges behind him, lie has taken with him. too, a portion of his personal following, a following whieh would otherwise have probably supported Mr.Gal- lilicr. Mr, (lalliber has certainly been thrown down. A Montreal correspondent says: Regarding the entrance of Hon. Hugh John Macdonald into the Dominion campaign. Sir Charles 'Tupper snid: "I knew what I was about when 1 played the card that has caused so much satisfaction amongst tlic rank und file of the Liberal-Conservative party of Canada. 1 knew what wns iu tlie man, and I assure you, he will bring us a solid phalanx of Conservative members from Lake Superior to the I'aeilic ocean. The defeat of Mr. sifton iu Brandon by Mr. Macdonald is absolutely certain. " Sir Charles spoke most enthusiastically of his recent tour, which he declared had been a splendid success. "It would be impossible." Sir Charles Tupper said, "to exaggerate the enthusiasm und Importance of the meetings we addressed in Nova Scotia.New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. I have never in my life seen anything like the attendance, as well us the intense feeling thnt bus arisen in those three Provinces against the Laurier Qovernment." Speaking of Conservative prospects in Nova Scotia, Sir Charles said that the Conservatives will carry without doubt, thirteen out of the twenty seats, und without losing; u constituency will capture live seats now held hy the Liberals. The prospects In New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island are also splendid. Sir Louis Davies is lighting for bis politicnl life, and if be is not defeated he will not hnve n single follower from his own Province. It was nlso admitted thai Mr. Costigan's political days in the County of Victoria are numbered. COAL MINERS CALLED OUT Will Oult work Monday ln All the Pennsylvania Mines.

John Houston's action in pledging himself to the support of the Liberal- Conservative nominee for the Yale- Cariboo diatlrot in the ensuing genernl elections came like B thunderbolt from n clear sky into the Liberal camp of the Nelson district. During thu llouston-l'Tctcher election Mr. Houston was successful in securing 10 support of a large number of tl Liberals, who claimed him then to In ns good a Liberal as any in Nelson. As a Liberal, Mr. W. A. Oalllher supported bim nnd probably did more Hian any other one man, with the exception of Mr. Houston himself, to SO- cure lhat gentleman's election.

The document was the ollicial endorsement of the request of tho anthracite miners to strike. It was considered by Ihe untioiial executive board of the United Mine Workers last week, and when the board adjourned to indorse tlie strike all power was left in the hands of the president and secretary. The ollicial order to strike was .scut to the three Pennsylvania districts. The order is a simple recital Of the proi lings of the three bodies in applying tor authority to the national board to strike ami a formal announcement,that the application In indorsed und the strike ordered, Tl"' order says: ������Do not wait for any further notice tn strike, but cease work in a body on and after Monday, September 17, 1 Will."

It has been done not witli tin intention to criticise the Mayor or Council but rather as au aid to them in their consideration of a question which has worried them for some weeks past. Interviews witli some citizens ure published today. Others have lieen or will be secured and will appear in tomorrow's Miner. Everyone interviewed believes in Immediate action, nnd the majority are of the opinion tbat further tinkering with the present plant is a useless expenditure of money. Here are sonic ideas: ,1. II, Wallace, of Wallace and Miller: "I am surprised that some action has not been taken before this. Immediate steps should be taken to obtain ll proper lighting system, It is plain that Ihe city ban already wasted a large sum of money on the present plant. Although thousands of dollar" might be spent to belter this plant, it is my opinion lhat it will never prove satisfactory, and thnt was my idea when the plant wns lirst installed, ll appeals that satisfactory results could be obtained,if the plant was moved lo the rapids at Kootenay bridge where good water power could always be had. At the present time, owing to the fact tbat large sums have already been spent, if satisfactory arrangements could be made witb the Bonnlngton Kails people, it would be thc wisest step that could be taken. Wc hnve never had good street lights, and with the present plant it will be impossible to obtain tbem. It is tie Intention of our company to place gas iu our store, as we hnve not. satisfactory electric light service." James A. (iilker: "I would say that immediate steps should be taken to obtain a proper lighting system. The city by nil moans should control and derive'revenue from the lighting nf the city. Something should he done without further delay to repair the old dam or lmild a new one." Mnrtin O'Relllyi "'toe lighting service tit my store is far from being satisfactory, end if I am not given u belter service shortly, will purchase my lighting material from tlie (las Company. 1 am greatly in favor of tbe citv' controlling the system, but w,mid like to see it made a salifae- tory one. It Is quite disappointing to have in one's store a lighting service which is of no use. The City Council should make a move to do something at once." Horace Hume: "You eanm call it a lighting service. A CO! lamp would give a milch better service Homo Steps Should bo taken i ledl- ately. No, I am not in favor of getting power from Hie lloiinington Kails v ipany. The lighting service should be controlled by the cily. " James A. McDonald of McArthur A C, ; I am nol in favor of the pros ent System in the least and am sure that'll satislateory plant could be installed at Kootenay bridge at tllc rap ids. This would .give the city an unlimited power and could nol only furnish the number of lights, but would furnish power for u ufacturing purposes, which would add greatly to the building up of the town." ���lobn Kirkpatrick: "It Is well known that the present plant is perfectly unsatisfactory. Bomotblng must' be done soon, and why not do ii now instead of waiting two or three nu,nibs. Several propositions are fore the council and why do they not e-ivc them their immediate and careful consideration? 'the city should eon Ind the svstem but should have a pi per one to control. It will soon the winter season and time is toi short to be wasted." (100, (ino and :ii��l francos.

('., Sept. 14.���The Provincial Police are working on what promises to prove to lie a murder ease at Saanicli. On opening up tlic little school there a few days ago tlie teacher discovered marks of blood on the floor. Instead of reporting the matter to thc police, the lloor was cleansed and nothing said ubout it. Thc police got wind of the mutter and arc now working on the ease. Chinamen living in the vicinity say Japs had a row in the building and that one was murdered. The Dominion Government telegraph line being built into Dawson has now reached llazellon. The first message ever sent Ironi that point reached Victoria yesterday, The Liberal convention lias heen set for the loth instant. Local retail dealers have commenced an agitation against trading- stamps and will petition the council to put. a heavy tux on companies which handle them. The apparatus for the new technical school to he established here has arrived. The school trustees are now looking for a suitable building. Two Swedes who were brought down liy Indian constables on the Queen City to New Westminster, charged with selling liquor to Indians from their sloop, claim to have found a very rich area of coal lands abutting on tlie sea to the north of Port Simpson. They say the Beams look very good. They decline to lell the location, for, 'as they have a prospect of staying down this way for some lime, they do not, want others to get in ou tlieir tiuil. A. D. Drummond, of the Provincial Police, formerly on the local stall', and now stationed at Telegraph, who arrived by the steamer Queen City, tells of some rich copper finds about six miles from (llcnora. A line copper borite ore has been found there he says, by one of the prospectors of the Cassiar Railway Co. Tin- ledge is eight feet across. 'The ore is strikingly similar lo that, found near White Horse on the Yukon, THIS IS TERRBILE, , Berlin, Sept. 14.���Sir Frank Lascel- les, the liritish ambassador who has just returned from a month's vacation at Hamburg, says the Dowager Kin- press Frederick will not come to Berlin for the winter, but will go to Italy again. Before going to Italy she will visit Queen Victoria if able to do so. "I saw the Dowager twice, "said Sir Frank Lacelles "and slie is certainly not a well woman, although her appearance is not worse than it was a year ago when her health wns lirst affected. She has grown lame on one foot and needs assistance when walking." SOLDIERED TOGETHER Judge Forln and Lord Minto Were comrades In Arms.

The prizes were works of urt. worth respectively 1,- .Tuilgc Forin renewed nn old acquaintance Wednesday when he shook bauds with Lord Minto shortly after His Kxelleneies arrival in tlie city. During the rebellion in the Northwest in 1885 tlie judge saw much of Lord Minto and evidently learned to admire him very much. "It is over 15 years since I met him," said the Judge to a Miner man this morning. "He was then chief of Btaff to (leneral Middletou in tlie Northwest Rebellion of 1SS5. I was with Colonel (liter in the Queen's Own. a regiment that has lately had the distinction of Lord Roberts accepting the position of honorary colonel. Lord Mclgiind. as Lord Minto wus then known.was considered a rattling good .soldier. His faiuiliaritv with the men of the west, the cow- puncher and Mounted Police qualified him to. judge of tlieir ellieieney for service in South Africa, lie is an ardent admirer of tlie Canadian troops. As a soldier of wide experience he also sees sonic faults, but is ever kind to them. He it was who interested himself in getting Charlie itoss. tlic celebrated scout into service in South Africa. Itoss was chief scout for Colonel Otter in 1885. Lord Minto is familiar with this type of western men and if his advice had been followed I have no doubt we would have had thousands of these line plainsmen and rough riders iu South Africa. As Sir Charles Dilke said : Send out 10,000 rough riders, cow punchers ami colonials.' I am quite sure Lord Minto has the same view. Thc War Offloe should i suit, such men as Lord Minto, he is practical and bus bad wide colonial experience, Canada to him is no vast unpopulated frozen north, but a country of boundless possibilities. Another matter which 1 had the opportunity of speaking about was the record of our Canadian soldiers iu South Africa. Lord Minto takes a personal pride in their work, lie knew they could do tbe work und of one thing I am positive, that is, that the report Lord Minto wished to break onr regiment up into units is false. He was a strong advocate of keeping them together, he knew tbey could do Canada credit and predicted it. liis prediction!are more than fulfilled, As be says. 'When you sec Ihe Canadian regi lit continuously associated with such eruek regiments as the Gordons and Seaforths you may depend they are doing line work.' Vcs. His Exoellenoy lias great faith in Canada and its people. " .Tames Steers.of Ihe tug Procter.narrowly escaped drowning in Kootenay Lake below Pilot Hay yesterday afternoon. Only for the heroic aetiou of Captain I). (Ieorge Kurtz he would have lost his life. The tug was taking a barge of fifteen ears to Kootenay Landing and us it nearcd Rhinoceros Point the barge was struck by a heavy sea and management became exceedingly dillieult. The crew was forced to draw the barge by a tow line, aud while getting the tug into position Steers was caught by the cable anil thrown into the water. In a desperate struggle, and although Incapable Of swimming, lie caught the tow line which kept bis head above water Captain Kurtz plunged to bis rescue. There was only one man left on the tug, and at the cries for help from the men in the water, he lowered the life boat but In the heavy waves it was washed away and lost, lie could do nothing to help as be had to steer the tug and keep il running full ahead to keep thc cable light and the men out of the water. Captain Kurtz lushed Mr. Steers to the cable and pushed him along it until the barge was reached. Several times during their stay in the water of over an hour, Steers ericd to the captain to let him die. After the men were freed from their perilous position there was only one man on the tug to run and steer It, Other serious accidents might have happened had not the Moyie wbieb was passing al the time gone to their rescue. Those who saw tbo affair say that Captain Kurtz did an heroic dood and should be presented witb a humane medal. RACING AT DONCASTER.

Russell, one of the members for Halifax in the Dominion House, eon- tributes a four-column paper to The Toronto Globe on what he is pleased lo call "Tbe Imperialism of sir Charles Tupper." The comment that lirst suggests itself on wading through it is that thc Doctor is either not as honest as be might be in dealing with public men with whom he does not agree, or he is singularly dull of comprehension. The purpose of tlle article is to show, lirst. that Sir Charles Tupper is inconsistent in his present professions of imperialism, and, second, that his tive in suggesting a Canadian contingent for the South Africa war was to embarrass Sir Wilfrid Laurier. With most readers it will be Sufficient to dispose of the latter aspersion by simply characterising it as stuff and nonsense. If the Premier hnd had the wit to accept the suggestion of a contingent as tlie splendid stroke of policy he afterwards conceded it to be, there could have been no embarrassment either to himself or to his party. It was because he hesitated, and hemmed und hawed, and listened to the protestations of tlie rebellious Tarte, that he found himself in trouble,and unless Sir Charles Tupper is possessed of hypnotic power he could not have anticipated any of these surprising manifestations of spirit. The suggestion of insincerity, intended to operate as a trick, is an unworthy one in itself, although possibly quite in keeping with tlic disposition and qualities of the Liberal member for Halifax. Tbe other matter is one of an entirely different complexion, and questions of Imperial connection and Imperial preferential trade are cer tain to command a good deal of nttcn tion in tlic approaching contest it is as well that there should he a clear understanding of it. Wc have seen that the Liberal papers are already endeavoring to create the Impression that Sir Charles Tupper is not as loyal to the cause of Imperialism as lie pn fesscs to be, and we shall probably discover before many days that those same papers arc freely quoting nn old Bentiment rescued from the dust heap of forly years ago to prove thai heart he is au en . my to tlie Imperial connection ami would prefer to havi none of it. ilr. Ktissell lias Lighted on a letter written by Sir Charles, reply to the late Joseph Howe, when the quest ion of Confederation was rag ing in Nova Scotia, in which he took the ground that neither the money no the men of Hritish North America should be spent in wars beyond the seas. Here is Inconsistency for you, thinks Dr. lfusscll, for this is the man who was in such a hurry to n 111- mi'nil that contingent in the Fall of last year. The Halifax member docs not stop to consider that a great many things may change in forty years. During that time Canada bus developed from a few struggling, scattered, disconnected Provinces of three millions of i pie into a united and pros* porous Dominion of twice the population, During that time the relations between the Mother Country and the Colonies have undergone a complete revolution. What would have been a hardship and oppression in I hose struggling Provinces of forty years ago became an expression of filial gratitude and affection last year. I'sc Is made. too. uf si,- Charles 'Cupper's determined opposition lo the resolution offered nt a meeting of the Imperial federation League some twelve or fourteen years ago, to the effect that tin lollies Bhould be lav ed for thc defence of the Umpire, an opposition Hint was largely instrumental iu breaking up the League. The spirit of this resolution won 1.1 al-,,, embrace thai Parliamentary union of the Empire vvhleh the Canadian Premier la undersl I to favor, h'or thai Opposition all Colonists will forgive him and even applaud bim. It was quite a mistaken view in maintain, as the authors "f that resolution did. (hut Canada had done nothing for Im perial defence. The project of a Canadian I'aeilic railway was largely con- Ived as an Imperial enterprise, and we hnve spent many millions upon it. We nre spending millions in the maintenance of u militia force. In other ways, more or less direct,we are helping the Umpire, Hut thut is not the real point of the matter. Unless the present Colonial relations are to be utterly destroyed, and we are to be merged into a Parliamentary union, lireot Imperial taxation is out of tlie question. Hotter, as at present, to leave it to our good will, our affection, our loyalty. Referring to the incident of tlie Federation League in a recent speech. Sir Charles well explained it in the following: "I do not claim that she has discharged her whole duty. I said you must leave it to the free,unfettered judgment of the Parliament of Canada to deal with questions of that kind, and that uo power iu the world outside of her Parliament should lay an impost on tlie free people of Canada. Let the hour come, I also said, when it is necessary for Canada to stand by the Mother Country, and she will not look in vain." That is the only possible attitude. It will be a bad day for the present connection and all other connections when one different from this is taken. A manipulation of election returns in our morning contemporary of yesterday is too curious to be allowed to pass without remark. It was said that thi' minority of the Provincial electorate "runs the Government," and iu proof the figures of twenty constituencies represented liy (Iovernment supporters were taken, showing an aggregate of 10,844 votes. Against these eight others were taken, with 10,075 votes. The oilier ten arc not accounted for. which is certainly very singular under the circumstances. Hut the strangest thing is that two of the eight, Kevelstoke and Slocan, are represented by members who support the (Iovernment and consequently help to "run" it. If thc figures for these are deducted from the 1 ().(!"'>, and added to tlie 10,844, our contemporary's position is at once disproved, without reference to the remaining ten, a majority of which is in the (Iovernment column. The paragraph is altogethe so singular as to suggest the idea that Mr. Houston has not yet recovered from the excitement of bis visit to the Coast. Those who nre so cocksure that the I'nited stutes would retaliate against (Ireat Britain, If she were to give preferential treatment to the Colonies, would do well to explain why thnt country does not retaliate against Canada for onr preferential in favor of (ireat Britain. Exactly the same provocation would exist in the one ease as it does in tlie other. The I'nited States docs not and wonld not retaliate, for the very good reason that Imperial trade relations are a domestic affair, and against which foreign complaint could not reasonably lie.

"There wore nearly BOO.OOO Republican voters so confident In 1802 that President Harrison would be reelected that they did not take thc trouble to go to the polls. Thoir negligence, due to over-Confidence, cost the Republican party tho election. The Republicans are confident, and the Democrats arc making a desperate effort to win. The national committee knows tlie plan of battle of the Democrats. We know they aro planning to recapture Kentucky. Wost Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, carry New York and Indiana and elect Bryan. "1 admit that New York is doubtful, in the sense that the Republicans can not set it down as certain to give its electoral vote to McKinley. We must light for New York. The Democrats are going to make a desperate light to carry thc state. Thoy have advantages they never before had in a national campaign. Thoy have Greater New York and Tammany has control of over ��90,000,000 public revenues. "We know that Croker has made a deal with Bryan. lt_ is foolish for mo to talk about our winning in Now York without the biggest kind of a fight. "We have a fight on our hands, and unless we aro willing lo light as hard as our opponents wo arc in danger of getting whipped. " LACROSSE CHAMPIONSHIP. Toronto Telegram: The lacrosse championhlp of Canada implies tlie lacrosse championship of the world. The league which is made np of Montreal, Ottawa, Cornwall nnd Toronto clubs has clung to the belief that its members could decide the championship of the world. That belief has been mildly disputed by adherents of the C. L. A., an organization whioh educates players who can hold thoir own with the best men in tho Montroal or the Ottawa teams. The theory that Montreal and Ottawa produce players of higher grade than the outer barbarians has luen utterly destroyed by the performance of thc Now Westminster team. A team which travels over throe thousand miles and defeats the Montrcal- ers and Shamrocks and Capitals in quick succession, and draws with the Torontos, has a better title to the championship of the world than any other lacrosse organization on earth". If the championship of the world goes to the I'aeilic ('onset it will still remain in Canada. Eastern Canadians who might have preferred lo witness thc triumph of their own representatives, must acknowledge the remarkable achievement of the Canadians from the hanks of the Eraser River.
