That Is the Date the Allies Hope to Reach the Capital. (BY ASSOCIATED PBBSS.) London, Aug. :.'.���The Allies advanced toward Pekin .today. It is estimated thnt the expedition numbers ���-'0,000 men of all arms, with 17(1 guns. They hope to reach Pekin August It;. Because of the fact that the Chinese have agents at tbe principal European cable points in communication with the viceroys, the foreign commanders at Tien Tsiu have seemingly put an embargo on news concerning the size and composition of tbe forces advancing on l'ekin. Neither the Knglish Admiralty or the foreign Office have Intelligence from Tien Tsin later than Kriday, July 87th. Telegrams from Hong Kong and Shanghai indicate that restlessness is increasing in southern China nnd Ihe Herman mission at Nullum has been destroyed and the native city of Wu Chow is no longer considered snfe tor foreigners. At the llogue forts target practice is going on. Proclamations sent to the recruiting stations threaten olllcers who defraud thc troops. A third brigade was ordered to China from India today of tour nn- ��� tive regiments Comprising about Oi* mm men. A newB agency dispatch from Tien Tsin. dated July 3Bth, reports that Lleutenant-lieiieral l.inewitcb' has succeeded Admiral AlcxiclV in command of the Russian forces there. The Russians, the dispatch adds, were constructing armored trains in the Tlnn -Bin shops and Intended reconstructing the railway as fast as tbe column should advance towards Pekin, VICEROYS BLUFF CALLED. Shanghai, Aug. 8���Admiral Seymour on board the Britisli despatch boat Alacrity Started for Nankin today to consult with l.iu Kuan Vi. Viceroy of Nankin. Admirnl Seymour wired the Viceroy of his intended viBit and Liu Kuan Yi replied: "Am unwell cannot sec you." Admiral Seymour insisted upon making the visit and the Viceroy responded by wire: "I am instructing a warship to proceed down the river to escort the Alacrity to Nankin in case of misunderstanding in passing the forts." It iB reported that 50 missionaries have been massacred in the Shan Si province. Legations have been enjoying the protection of tin- Throne, are,one and all. unqualified falsehoods. The cumulative evidence is overwhelming that the whole affair has been throughout under tho control and direction of the Chinese I Iovernment. It now rests with the Powers to make the Chinese Government understand that it will In- held fully responsible for whatever happens in l'ekin. " "PEKIN IN EIGHT DAYS." Brussels, Aug. 2.���M.

'.'.��� A letter from Hong Kong, duted July '.'ml, whieli was received here today, represents that Li Hung (hang was preserving order in Canton by a virtual reign of terror, rendering him well bated by the disorderly elements, He had ruthlessly prevented anything in the nature of public meetings and thus effectually prevented any of thc various parties, all of them animated by hatred of foreigners, from coming together to plan n rising. During one week he had executed by Strangling or beheading seventy persons and it is asserted that during his Viceroynl- ty no less than 8000 were executed] All suspects, innocent and guilty alike, were thrown into prison Indiscriminately whidi in a majority of eases was tantamount to execution.

BEATON, Editor and Manager Nelson Daily Miner 1_2___^ _������__ Never mind his motive, but consider rather whether this sweeping restriction is desired by the people of the Province. If it is, let the Hill pass; if not, knock il out, In coining to a conclusion, however, there are inunv things to consider, and a few of tbem oughl to stand as a fatal barrier the measure FOREST FIRES, A Canadian Forestry Association was formed Bome months ago at Ottawa. This was a sort of Sequel to the establishment ofa Forestry bureau in connection with tin' Department of the Interior, It was not until after much pleading and protesting by the few who take an interest in the ques- tion that the Qovernment i sented to this step. It had to be driven to it. Soon after the bureau was organised, witli an excellent chief In the person of Mr. B. Stewart of Colllngwood in charge, u public meeting was held ami an Association formed, Intended as a help to thc bureau in protecting the forests we have and in encouraging tree planting where tbey arc not. Sir Henri July wns elected President, and a better choice could not have been made. Mr. Bostock was chosen us Vice-President for liritisli Columbia. A few evenings hence, In Vancouver, a meeting will be beld witli the purpose of establishing B brunch Association in this Province. This is a move in the right direction, provided, that is, that the promoters of thc meeting do not content themselves with the mere act of organisation, Sir Henri Joly is at the back of it. however, aud ns long ns he kas health of body and vigor of mind he will take good care that the Association is something more than a name. Tlie movement comes opportunely. There has been a long spell of hut and dry weather, and throughout the greater portion of the Mainland the conditions arc favorable for forest fires. Iu uot a few districts are fires raging, with more or loss severity und, consequently, with more or less destruction. Wc in this locality havo au object lesson at bund in the tire thnt for two days past lias been threatening the destruction of Ymir. Up to tbe present writing it is believed that the danger has been averted, but any moment may come word that the little town has been obliterated. That a calamity such as this can be prevented by a Forestry Association formed at Vancouver we should not care to say absolutely, but If by Forestry Associations nnd other active agencies the people of British Columbia do not awaken to nn inter- eBt in forest preservation there is nothing on earth more certain than that this Province will lose heavily in one of the richest of itB natural resources. The Ymir fire had some origin; it did not start itself. It is the business of the Qovernment to And out how it did start and to punish the person responsible for it. The burning of several scores of buildings may be a small matter; but thc destruction of large areas of valuable timber ( not, and the menace to human life in thc destruction of a town isniost seri- oms of all. Thc country mny stand thc loss of personal property und the interruption to business that follows, but the individual sufferers are apt to be loss complacent under the iilllic- tion. It is because our Governments have not heen earnest enough iu preventing these constantly threatening disasters thnt Forestry Associations have become necessary. Whether these can stir onr Qovernment tu 11 proper interest in tlie matter wc do not know, and it may be dangerous to wait to see. There is in session in Nelson today n Congress of Associated Hoards of Trade, and here it has a question ready lo hand for its consideration, of at least equal Importance with any other that enn possibly engage its attention, Perhaps it may think it wortli while to represent to the (ioverninenl at Victoria thut there arc many In the Province who Bee with regret and alarm the forest destruction that is going and that .-,1] object most strongly tu the constant risk to their own lives niul property. to The Victoria Times says that Lord Minto is not an orator of the stamp of Lord Dufferln. No; but in acknowledging his welcome at Winnipeg showed that be could give quite as neat a turn lo a compliment and say a pleasant thing witli quite as great a charm. Lord Minto may have something of the brevity of a soldier, but c is liy no means without tlie grace f a courtier.
