Victoria, Jan.21 ���Tho cruiser Phaeton is to onll at Astoria for further orders from the admiral, after searching for traces of the missing Condor along the Vancouver Island, Washington and Oregon coasts. If the Moana now due brings no advices, the Phaeton will then proceed to Honolulu. Capt. Simpson of thc survey ship Egeria, now in command or this station, said today tbat in his opinion the Connor had broken down, and being a poor sailor she would not make the speed of an ordinary sailing vessel, if having to fall back entirely on her canvas. Ue does not think that the Condor has gone to the bottom, and reasons so from the fact that sailing vessels have taken as long as forty days in which to make the Jvoyage, turning up ultimately without mishap. The Condor could not carry a great deal of coal. Tne Phaeton, which has now gone in search of her, is capable of storing away about 1,100 tons in her bunkers and the Condoi could not And room for little more than a fcurth of this amount. The Phaeton is as fast as a mail steamer. On the trial yesterday morning, her engineers succeeded in getting 111.2 knots out of her machinery. Her best performances were a little hotter than 18 knots per hour. Other thin the naval officers, some of whom aro also pessimistic, the im pression prevails that the warship has been lost. She is one of the typo of small craft recently built by tbe admiralty, in which service writers arc showing defects She was a vessel of the model of the lost sloop Wasp whioh was lost as the Condor has probably been. She left port and was never heard of again. The last hope held out for the safety uf the missing boat's crew of the wrecked steamer Bristol, was shattered this morning on the arrival of the steamer Amur from the north. On tho up trip.a searoh was made, thc steamer cruising around both Green and Cray islands in the expectation of some evidence of the lost ones being found, but without avail. It was night time when the steamer arrived off the sceno of the disaster, but in order lo assure himself of whether or not tho men were in the vioinity, dead or alive. Captain McLeod remained by until after daylight. Nothing of the liritsol herself could be Been, not a panicle of wieckage was found in the locality, little if any having come to the surface. Tho mainland was only threo miles distant and here as elsewhere there were no signs of life a,hore. A number of cannery steamers from Ketchikan also searched without avail. Capt. (iaudin, local agent of the department of marine and fisheries,lias �� pair of binoculars for presentation to M. I), Clarke, lighthouse keeper at Entrance island, at the entrance of Nanaimo narbor and his assistant John lloberts.

Grand Porks, Jan. 21.���The police authorities here havo been notified that Mrs. Annie [lamer,who lied from here to escape sentence on a charge of procuring, is applying for a writ of habeas corpiiH at Republic in order to obtain her discharge from custody. The argument was to havo boen heard at Republic today. Police Magistrate Johnson,of Orand Forks, stated today that he was communicated with by telephone by the prosecuting attorney at Spokane, and that the latter stated that the Blue Ooose would bo brought to trial at Spokane on a similar charge, should the efforts to bring, tho prisoner back to Canada prove unsuccessful. It is conceded that the offense in not an extraditable one but prior to the habeas proceedings,it was thought the woman would consent to return here for sentence. B. J. Taylor, father of Mrs. Sim Galloway, Ihe victim of the machinations of Mrs. Hamer. and Oaliowav, it said to favor bringing the woman to trial in the American courts. Police Magistrate Johnson today formally sentenced Oalloway to six months in the common jail at hard labor, the term to begin after the prisoner lias served the 23 months' term imposed in the County court by Judge Leamy last week. COL. PRIOR WAS WARM. Challenges Riley to Provo That He Tampered With a Witness. Victoria, Jan. 21.���At a political meeting held last night at Eqnimalt, Geo.Riley, Liberal candidate, charged Col. Prior that he and Thus.Earle and Robert Cassidy had offered an elector, who was a witness against Prior and Earle in Sn election petition, $250 to leave the country. Tonight Prior at a meeting held at the Victoria theatre characterised the statement as a deliberate falsehood nnd put up an accepted cheque for 9500 in the hands of thc chairman, challenging Riley to put up a like amount and produce evidence before Rev. K. C, Rowe, Methodist minister, and if he failed to prove his charge, forfeit the $500 to the Jubilee hospital. Further, tbat if Riley failed to accept this challenge Prior would take action against Riley and the Times newspaper for criminal libel. ON MANY CHARGES.

THEY HECKLE MR. BiLFOUR Irish Members Question Him About War Expenditure. Ministerialists and Imperialists Applaud Spirited Reply. London. Jan. 31,���Right Hon. A. .1. Balfour's spirited rebuke last night to the Irish Nationalists in the House of Commons for an imputation on the louylty of Canada and Australia was warmly applauded in ministerial circles. Connor O'Kelly, M. P., for North Mayo, asked whether any steps bad been taken to induce the colonies to pay their shares of the coi>t of the war. Balfour, the leader of the house, evoked loud ministerial and Liberal imperialist cheers by a grateful acknowledgment of the contributions the colonies have already voluntarily made in men and money. He said the imnutation conveyed by the question was uncalled for and was expressed iu quite unnecessarily offensive language. W. Redmond, M. P., for East Clare, asked what the colonies had paid The speaker rnled him out of order. Mr. Redmond, whose wife is an Australian, shouted : "Why not ask Australia to pay as well as Ireland?" which evoaed loud cries of "Order." The iucident illustrated the solidarity of tbe Ministerialists and Imperialist Liberals in appreciation of the parts Canada and Australia huve played iu the war, although Mr. Chamberlain has criticized the Liberal press for insisting that colonies have some say in Sonth African settlement. PHILLIPPINE TARIFF BILL. Senator Lodge Warns the Senate Against Mortgaging the Future. Washington, Jan. 21.���For nearly three hours today the Senate had under consideration the Philippine tariff bill.

The debate was opened Dy Mr. Lodge, chairman of the committee en tbe Philippine. He sketched in a free handed way the reasons which had actuated the majority in presenting the measure and urged strongly its enactment into law at an early date. He explained Tiith some minuteness the nccesaity for the legislation embodied in the bill and conclundod with an appeal to the Benate and to congress to deal with questions relating to the Philippines as they might arise and to keep clear of vague word:, and vaguer promises which were likely to be misinterpreted and to raise false hopes in the minds of the Filipinos. In an impassioned peroration he besought co ogress not to give loortgagoi on an unknown future. DEMAND REPARATION. M. CAMB0N ON DIPLOMACY Interesting Address to New York Bar Association. Objects Sought and Progress Made ln Recent Years. of the prize laws robs the combatants of that attribute which does them the j most honor���disinterested sacrifice in their Country's cause. While much still remains to be done, said the ambassador, each day sees the nations grow more considerate to one another and their mutual intercourse It is a notable fact, he said, that after the recent happenings in China, France sent to the Chinese government tbe works of art whioh had heen shippoa to her, while President Roosevelt has just rostored to China the sum of 8370,000 which had been seized in Tien Tsin. Such generous proceedings would have greatly astonished our ancestors. He was followed by Mr. Beck who spoke on the suppression of anarchy. CAUGHT IN FIRE TRAP.

Loudon, Jan. 21.���No confirmation is obtainable here of the statement that the Allan line is included in the plan now being submitted to J. l'ier- pont Morgan for a gigantic trust of trans Atlantic steamers, although steamship authorities here sny that doubtless the Allans and likoly most British firms would sell thoir ships if sufficiently big prices were given. Albany, N.Y., Jan.21.���The feature of the twenty-fifth annual meeting of the New York State Bar association was the gathering in the assembly chamber this evening of a distinguished audience that filed every inch of available space in it to greet the French ambassador, M. Jules Cambon, and the Hon. James M.Beck, assistant attorney-general of the United States. M Cambon's subject was "Relations between Diplomacy and Publio and Private Law." M. Cambon had chosen a most Interesting subjection. He opened his address by saying tbat there were few callings which are more misunderstood by the public than that of a diplomat. It is readily assumed in some quarters, he said, that the prime function of a diplomat is simply to serve oa all occasions of international courtesy while in others it appears to be the idea that the paths over which the diplomat travels are deep and dark and that consequently diplomacy, in its essence, is inturigue pure and simple. It would be difficult to conceive a grosser error, said the auibns, sador The fundamental duty of diplomacy, the ambassador said, is to enforce respect for the provisions of international law aud to foster their continuous development, thereby rendering essential service to the ad- tancement of civilization and strengthening the social bond which links together the nations of the world. Little remains, he said, of tbe events which brought about tbe congress of European nations at Varis in 1855 after the war in the Orient, yet its rulings have left a lasting trace on international law. The full portent of the new principles proclaimed by the conference at The Hague, he continued, is not altogether understood as yet, but those principles are destined to become engraved on tbe conscience of humanity, In this connection, he paid a tribute to Lord Pauncefote, who took such an active part in the conference at The Hague. M. Cambon entered upon that phase of his subject which touched private interests and thc relations between nations as regards the application of their private laws to foreigners. While we are free to admit common rules in the domain of public law, he said, we are forcod to acknowledge that nothing is moro mutable than private law and the rule of diplomacy is to understand the divergence of these laws, to seuk to reconcile them and thus to endeavor to protect the rights of private parties even in a foreign land. He pointed out that France was tne first nation to enter upon this field, when, in 1700 she concluded witbj Sardinia a treaty which allowed the execution in France of judgments properly rendered In Snrdinia. In certain countries, ho continued, ihe mode of organization creates at times unexpected obstacles to tbo carrying out of the international agreements and in this connection he called attention to tho fact that thc individual rights of the states which form the United States nt.tlmes complicates thc task of tlm government with a foreign power. It seems, he said, that since thc status can have no individual intercourse with foreign powers, the federal government, which alone pussescs the right to negotiate on their behalf, should be empowered to see to the complete execution of the agreements which it bus made. We must aim, said M. Cambon, in concluding his address, to destroy all those barriers between civilized nations which maintain between them a certain indefinable spiiit of latent hostility, a lingering vestige of old barbarism. Iu time ol war private property Bhould receive thc same protection in naval an in land campaigns, said tho ambassador, and he gave it as his opinion that the maintenance HOCKEY AT WINNIPEG i Toronto Club Defeated In the Stanley Cup Series. CONSIDER SILENCE WISDOM. Secretary Hay Will Not Discuss Joint Note on tho War. Wabington, Jan. 21,-The State department will not be drawn into the controversy which has sprung up between the European powers respecting the efforts made by them to pre vent the United States from going to war with Spain. Lord Camborne's statement in parliament yesterday is recognized as absolutely correct so far as it went, but there are chapters in the story which he did not touch upon and it is recognized here as inexpedient to develop all the facts even now, lest animosity spring up without sufficient reason. The frank statement of Lord Cranborne touching Austria's earnest efforts to prevent war caused uo resentment here, where it is realized that thero were dynastic and sympathetic reasons that justified, or at least extenuated the Austrian purpose. MAYOR LOWE'S WELCOME. New York, Jan. 21.���Mayor Lowe tonight announced that on the day of the launching of the German Emperor's yacht he will give a dinner to President Roosevelt and Prince Henry at the Metropolitan club.

Tlie dinner will be given by the mayor personalis',and the guests will be, in the main those whom the official proprieties of the occasion indicates. DXNASTIC REASONS URGED. Why Austria Tried to Prevent the Spanish War. Vienna,Jan. 21.���Inquiries made by the Associated Press at the Austro- Hungarlan Foreign office confirm the essential points of the stattnents mado by Lord Camborne, the British Foreigu under-secrotary, in the House of Commons yesterday. The dynastic relations of Austria witb Spain, the Queen regent being an arch-duchess of Austria, led Austria, before the declaration of war between Spain and the United States, to begin a peace propaganda, which was carried on not only in England, but throughout Europe. France was ready to seeonu tbe efforts of Austria. Ocrmanv aud Russia maintained a passive attitude. Great Britain was at first disposed to sign the proposed note,but aftei a con- lldeiitul report from Washington declined either to sign such a note ns the Austrian ambassador proposed, or to tako any further steps. Afterwards Anstria and France made direct representations at Washington, hut teased their efforts after the declaration of war. SCULEY AND SANTIAGO. First Copies of This Work Just Off the PrcsFes.

Winnipeg, Jan. 21.��� The drst game in the series for the Stanley Cup and the Canadian hockey championship, was played here this evening between the Winnipeg Victorias, delenders, and the Toronto Wellingtons, champions of the Ontano Hockey association. The result was 5 to 3 in favor of the Victorias. Thu weather was mild and the ice soft, two conditions under which the Ontario champions are accustomed to play. An enormous crowd filled the Auditorium rink and sympathy was about equally divided. The teams lined up as follows, with W. MacFarlane, of the Winnipeg club as releree'.

Seven minutes later the Wellingtons added another and the score was 2 to 0 against Winnipeg. Then followed end to end play for 15 minutes and the Winnipeg men scored just bilore the bell rang for bait time. Tho Victorias settled down to work in the second half aod made the figures 2 to 2 in five minutes after play was resumed. Another goal for Winnipeg two minutes later made the score 3 tu 2, but the Toronto boya again caught their feet and evened things up seven minutes later, leaving tho tally three all. The Vlc^jrias scored again in four and a half minutes and made the game safe by sening in another shot in ten minutes, a few seconds before time was called, and the game ended 5 to 3 In favor of Winnipeg, The Wellinglons clearly had the best of thc play in the first half, but conld not stand tbe pace set by the Victorias in the latter part of the game. The second match in the series will be played on Thursday night. CURTIS REACHED MONTREAL. Disappointed That British Columbia Has Not Cabinet Representation. Montreal, Jan. 21.���Wm.

MINERAL PRODUCTION OF B. C. Wm. P. Robertson, provincial mineralogist, has issued an estimate on the amount and value of the mineral products lor British Columbia for the year 1901, which places the yleid at $20,718,501, against $10,344,751 lor the year 1600 and 112.393,181 for 1899. Roughly speaking, Mr. RcbertBon says, the gain in 1901 over 1900 was 25 per cent. In dollars and cents the increase of 1901 over 1900 is 84,363,750, which is a substantial and encouraging gain. A few other comparisons fiom the figures may not prove uninteresting. The quantity of placer gold decreased, as in 1900 $1,278,724 wbb produced, while last year only $892,500 was won by the placer miners. The quantity of gold outputted by tbe lode miners was increased over a million. In 1900 the production of gold from thc lode mines wbb 83,453,38 while in 1901 it was $4,704,200, an increase of 30 per cent. Silver iu the same year increased from $2,309,200 to $2,024,002, or an Increase of 14 per cent. Copper showed the greatest increase a? in 1900 $1,615,289 worth was mined, while in lflol the value of the copper output was 84,951.008. The gross increase In the valuo of the copper production was 2Ufi per cent. Reduced to tons and leaving out the fractions 4,998 tons of copper were produced iu 1900 and 15,308 tons in 1901. This shows that tho province is beginning to be a factor in cupper production, and that in a year or two it will have to be taken Seriously into consideration by the combines that aro endeavoring to control the price of the metal. Lead, owing to the low price of the metal, showed a falling off as in 1900 the production was worth $'!,091,887, while last year it was only 81,970,641 In 1(100 the output of had in tons was 31.697, while in 1901 it was only 25,264 tons, a falling off ot 6,415 tons. This is explainable in the first place by the low price in lead and as consequence of this the closing down of such mines as the .St.Eugene, Sullivan and North Star in East Kootenay. Then, too, a number of the mines in the Sioean which were operating did not push work with the energy which would have been the case had the price of silver and lead beon higher; in some instances ere was saved after boing extracted in tho hope that the prices of metals would rise. Coal also showed an increase. In 1900 1,439,505 tons were extracted, while in 1901 the quantity wns 4,587,- 630 tons. In 1900 tin ro was 85,149 tons of colre manufactured and in 1901 there were 673,800 tons. The market for Coke both and coal is enlarging. Thc tonnage of ore mined by the lode mines last yonr was in the neighborhood of 871,832 tons, uqual to un Increase o' 317,0311 tons over tho year 1900,'or a little more than 57 per cent The increase in the vnlnc of thu output of last year over the previous one ol the lode minufl was only 25 por eent., while the innreso in the ton rage was 57 per cent, roveals that ore of lower grado is being extracted This is because the decreasu in the freight and transportation charges,the improvements that havu been wrought hy the addition of machinery a more economical method of working, the building of new wagon roads, etc., have made it pnshible tn extract and reduce ore of a lower grade than whs formerly the case, nnd this is being done in the face nf a considerable fall iu the price of hilver, learl and eoppor. Another point which tlie figures ie- veal is that the trend is toward lode gold-copper mining and to a certain extent againBt silver-lead mining. This Is shown in the increase yield of gold and copper arid the decrcH.se in thc prod notion of lead and the Small Increase made by silver. This is but n temporary condition, however, and one that will adjust itself. With the decrease in prmlnetion there will naturally result n cniiMimptinn of the ampins stocks ul the two metals and then ass Copper, too, is under a temporary Icloud, we believe, largely as a result | of stook manipulation, hut should soon emerge from under the effect of low prices. The consoling feature of Mr.Robert- sen's report, however, is found In the fact that notwithstanding the serieB of staggering blows which the mining industry received during the year 1901, in the shape of the strike in Rossland, the diop in silver from around 60 to 55 cents, the fall in lead till our mine owners are receiving but $1.20 per cental for it, tho drop in copper from 17 to 12 centB and other truubles, the industry has gone on serenely and that 1001 shows an increase on the grjss value of the production of 25 per cent, over 1901. Should we do no better than thia in the present year and make a clear increase of 25 per cent, it would not be a bad showing, but we believo that the increase will be considerably larger. Matters have reached their worst, so far as the price of metals are ooncerned, and any change that may take place in the situatiun should be for the better. HUDSON'S COMPANY.

M'LACHLAN BROS. 11 I DAVIS FOR CHIEF JUSTICE, For the place, made vacant by the death of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court McColl, E. P. Davis, K. C, of Vancouver, is strongly endorsed by the members of the bar of the province as well as by many others, and it is very probable that the appointment will be tendered him. Mr. Davis Is one of the very best lawyers in the province aud for the past eight or nine years has enjoyed a splendid practice. He has always been a hard student, is of quick perception, and has a wide acquaintance with nearly every branch of the law. In court practice he has been very successful and there have been but few important oases in the province in the last few years in which he did not take part. In the Centre Star-Iron Mask suit, in which largo interests were involved, he wbb the senior counsel for the Centre Star company. On this cause, although it never came to a final issue, still large sums were spent by both sideB for expert testimony and in it legal proceedings were takon for the fiist time in the province on the question of extra-lateral rights. Both parties to the action want into the contest to win and money for a time seemed to have hut little value to them. The caso whioh brought Mr. Davis first prominently before the public was in 1891-2, when charges were preferred again.it Commissioner Herchi- mer of thc Northwest Mounted Police. These were for alleged misfeasance in office and the case was a celebrated one. The inquiry was made by a Dominion commission and Mr. Davis, wbo was then practicing his profession at Calgary, defended Mr. Uerchiraer. Tho inquiry lasted for some months and owing to the great skill and ability displayed hy Mr. Davis, Mr, Herchimer was acquitted. This was a result which was not expected when the trial began. Shortly after this Mr. Davis went to Vancouver, His triumph in the Herchimer case had been heralded theie and he was shortly afterwards in possession of a lucrative practice,and, ns he had the ability to sustain the reputation which had preceded him he soon found himself in tho front rank of the British Columbia bar. Mr. llavis possesses a great sense of fairness and has what tho attoncys call a judicial mind. This is one of the chief reasons, perhaps, why they favor him so strongly for tho chief justiceship. The Minor believes that no butter man could be uhosen in the province for the vacant plaoe on the bench. . The Hudson's Bay Stores ASTHMA CURE FREE!

The following brief tabulated sum roary gives the general details of the metals values: 4,991.507 ounces oi aold at S20, equals $99,880.14, or $7,00 ,,er ton; 8,832.02 ounce of silver at 55c equals ..857.94, or 34c per ton; 303,- 012 lbs of copper at 15 l-2o equals $54,871.51, or $3.85 per ton���gross value, $158,9511.59; average value per ton, $11.28. In addition to the aoove 1,039.1785 dry tons were shipped to the Trail smelter; this netted from the smelter ��U,084.07, or an average value ol 87.01 per ton of 2,000 pounds. The gross value of the ore shipped to Northport, together with the net amount received from the Trail 3mel- ter, make a total of $170,593.00. In order to arrive at the net estimated profit over treatment I have deducted $6 fur all freight and treatment charges. This is made up as follows: Treatment at smelter, S4.50; freight to Birellter, SO.75 ; average cost per ton of ore for realization of matte, $0.75��� ��0. Therefore freight and treatment charges on 14,088.042 tons are 884,-I 528.25, making net estimated profit over treatment charges, etc., for a ores shipped during the month $88,065.41. Mine . expenditure���The total expenses on mine account for mouth of November was $50,071.93, and has beon apportioned ns follows: Cost of breaking ore including handling seconn-clnss oie dump, $409.79, (4;,087.61; charged to exploration, $024.85; charged to capital account��� machinery $14.57, surface improvement 87S7.40,iniue equipment 81,557.50 ���$8,859,47. After deducting the above irom the estimated net profit for treatment leaves a balance of estimated profit $35,393.48, The average cost per ton for breaking ore and delivering snme on cars for the mouth is f).40 after deducting the cost of handling second-class dump, 8409.79, and the cost of handling, fieight and treatment on second- class ore dump ore is $3.75.

Work is progressing on tlie dredging of the slip at Kootenay Landing and it is expected that the work will be completed within a fortnight. The rutting alrealy made is proving of considerable assistance in facilitating the landing of the steamers at that point, as owing to the extreme low water stage reached this winter.rauch difficulty was being experienced.

Finally they met an acquaintance and told their tale of woe. It appeared that their parents had gone on a visit to Rossland that morning, and being loft alone the daughters had gone to the hockey match blissfnllv unconscious that the spring lock of the door bad fastened them out and the latchkey was inside. It was not nntil they returned from the rink that the loss was noted, and not boing well acquainted in the city thoy did not like to wake any of their neighbors tip to break in. They finally decided lo come down town ami if unable to get. a key to go to an hotel for the night.

Perrier. formerly of Ferland and Co., returned last evening after an absence of five weeks. While sway he visited Toronto, Montreal, New York, Boston and other cities in the East, It is understood that a tew days ago a number of professional gamblers came to Nelson in their itinerary, but so far have kept well under cover.

It is safe to say that tho majority of bald men of today would gladly revive the old, dignified custom if they could.
