to procure their release from imprisonment for intimdation, on habeas
cm pus proceedings came before Mr.
Justice Irving today and was dismissed. A. H. MacNeill, K &, and G. E

Tbeir chief contentions lav m two
points, namely, tbat the man alleged
to be intimidated was not going to or
from his work, nonce the offence did
not come nnder the section of the
criminal code under which the information had been laid, this the judge
disposed very summarily ; second, that
lhe prisoners having been released on
bail after conviction by the magistrate and having been again tried by
the County court judge had beon
taken in oharge without a new commitment being made out. His Lordship declined to concede tbat this con
tcntion was well taken, so Beamish
and Colistro will have to serve their
terms of imprisonment.
The appeal of Al. Geiser against his
conviction nnder tbe Alien Labor Act
was also dismissed, ln thiB T. M.

Fishermen     Transform     the   Harbor
Into a Forest of Lights.
St. Johns, Nfld., Oot 23.-The
celebration tonight in honor of the
Oukn and Duchess of York, was exceedingly enthusiastic. The weather
was clear and the tewn faiily blazed
with illuminations and fire worku.
Tiie Onhir, Crescent, Diadem, Niobe,
Pliosperine, and Charybdis were electrically lighted. Fifteen sealing
steamers moored in n Ion*,- line showed festoons of maroon lnnlerns, while
8(10 fishing vessels were similarly
decorated making a veritable forest of
twinkling lights spread over the
whole hnrbor. From the hills surrounding the city UO bonfires flamed.
A thousand torch bearers paraded the

where the Ophir was moored. Five
hundred fishing boats paraded the

Loyal.
LI Hung Chang Finds Means
to Hinder the Missionaries.
Pekin, Oct. 23.���There is stong opposition among conservative Chineso
officials to Wu Ting Fang, Chinese
minister at Washington, retaining a
foreign mission. Those who take this
view consider tbnt this popularity
abroad is u proof that bu is not sufficiently loyal to tho interests of China.
It is probable that he will be recalled
and given a position on the new board
of foreign affairs where his linguistic
and legal attainments may he utilized
under the eye of government.
Washington, Oct.23.���Mr. Wu Ting
Feng, the Chinese minister, listened
attentively as a reporter repeated to
him tonight the Pekin dispatch telling
of opposition which has developed
there to bis continuing as a ropiosen-
tative of China abroad. Be manifested no Halo suprise at tho statements
it contained and appeared non-plussed
at the conclusion druwn tbat his popularity* in the United States was any
evidence of any lack of loyalty to the
interests of bis government. Mr. Woo
said it always had been his effort to
do the very best he could in behalf of
his conntry and his people. He declared ho had not received any intimation
that his government was dissatisfied
with hiin or that he probably would
be recalled. He declined to be drawn
into an extended disouBsion of matter.
Pekin, Oct. 23.���Li Hung Chang and
Prince Chlng continue to deal jointly
with the questions currently sub
milled by the ministeis of tbe powers.
They still sign themselves aa pleni-
potentarieg although it was supposed
by the foreign envoys tbat their duties
in that capaeity ended with the delivery of the indemnity bonds. They
are holding the ministers of the
powers to a strict enforcement of
treaty stipulations requiring
foreigners to give notice of an intcn
tion to go into tbe interior in order
to afford an opportunity for making
protective arrangements. This stipulation has been laigely Ignored of late
years and its revival and vigorous
enforcement wonld chiefly hamper the
missionaries.
ENTHUSIASM OVER REDMOND.
Cork, Oct. 23.���The scene at tho
station immediately prior to John
Redmond's depart ure today for
Quecnstown on his way to America
was one of extraordinary enthusiasm.

down the ba-ners erected to exolude
the publio from the platforms, planted flaming tar barrels in front of
saloon carriages in which Mr. Redmond was seated and played "God
Save Ireland," and the "Star
Spangled Banner."
Addressing the crowd from the platform of the oar Mr. Redmond referred
to the attacks which the London
Globe had published for whioh they
were summoned to tbo bar of parliament characterizing these as scurrilous attacks upon the Irish party. And
now, boiling witb rage, he exclaimed,
this paper is grossly insulting our
brethren in America and asserting
that we are going to the United
States to get subscriptions from
American murder clubs. Tbis shows
the blind unreasing hatred and tbe
opinions held by representatives of
the British government notwithstanding the faot the long list of officials
and public mon in America from the
president down bave been representatives of our race.
WHY MINERS HESITATED.
London, Oct. 23.���"It has transpired, " says a despatch from Paris,
"thnt the French government warned
each member ot the miners' commit*
ie whioh adjourned at St. Etienne
ithout making publio the result of
deliberations, that if it ordered a
te under the present conditions
meinbor would render himself
liable to a sentence of death for inciting a ciivl war and   that   tbe govern-
tee
strike
each
ment would prosecute if necessary."
This action it is believed caused the
committee to temporize.

BULLER'S RETIREMENT.
Sir RedverB Duller has been relieved
of the command of the First Army
Corps and has been placed on half
pay. This is a consequence of lhe
injudicious speech which he made on
October 10th, after the luncheon given
in his honor by the King's Own
Ritles, dealing with the dispatch to
Geueral White al. Ladysmith. Tbe
speech was intended as a self justification. It was not necessary for General Buller to make the explanation
concerning his message to General
White from C'olenso. The accounts of
tbe speech which have so far roar-lied
here conveys tbe idea tbat while he
did not advise General White to sur-
le nler Ladysmith, he gave tbe terms
winch might, be accepted in the event
of a surrender being determined on.
In addition to this he informed General White that relief conld not be expected inside of a month. It must be
said that General Iluller did nut make
a biilliant success of his campaigning
in South Africa, bnt this much may
be brought up in his favor. He was in
command of the British forces there
and had arranged a plan which is
still accepted 8B correct. In order,
however, to hasten to tbe relief of
Ladysmith and to check the Boer
movement in Natal, whioh were unexpected contingencies, he was oom-
pelled to change hia whole plan, and,
leaving the western and central operations to others, he took personal
charge of the relief expedition. It is
chaiged that he pushed his advance
with too much recklessness and rapidity and he has been berated for
frontal attacks from exposed positions,
but then it must be considered tbat he
was ahout the first British commander to experience what it means to light
men armed with the latest weapons
and in doing what he din, he simply
followed tbe methods whlob bave
enabled British pluck and dash b*
win many a battlo. Those wbo followed him later in South Africa received the benefit of his experience and
profited by it. If General Buller sacrificed men in these attacks he was
spin red on by a launalilo desire to
save the command of General White
beleaguered by an overwhelming
force in Ladysmith. It was when he
had failed to break through tbe cordon
oi Hours aronnd Ladysmith that ho
Informed General White of the sanation and sent the dispatches alluded
to at the dinner.
Whon he failed to affect the relief
of Ladysmith, according to bis own
story, fearing that General White,
owing to starvation and the decimation of his command, would be compelled to surrender, in a spirit of
generosity, he offered to share tbe
lespousibility of the suirender with
General White. The surrender was
avoided and ultimately General Buller
forced his way into Ladysmith and
relieved the famishing garrison.
For explaining his action and for
defending himself the wai oflice
has retired General Buller on
half pay. It Is evident that in Great
llritain the war oflloe will not tolerate explanation*, of this character
from ollicers, even where given In
tne defense ot a reputation. A contra
versy like that which is now on be
tween Admiral Sampson and Admiral
Schley over who was entitled to the
most credit for tbe destruction of
Admiral Cervera's Meet would be im
possible in England as the war oflloe
wonld quickly discipline tbo principals. General Holler's retirement
waa in the inteiet-t of discipline.
General Buller has paid dearly fur his
explanation and doubtless now regrets
that he spoke his mind so freely. II,
will have many friends In bis retire
ment, for the reason that although
he was unfortunate in Month Africa
ho was noted for his bluntness and
his bravery and was every ready to
make a "frontal attack.''
WILL MAKE PAPER IN B. C.
A company has been organized al
the coast with a capital of half a million dollars which purposes manufacturing pulp and paper. Should tbe
purpose of the company be carried out
to a successful issue, as doubtless it
wili be, another important indastry
will be added to those which already
e.viHt In the province, as this la the
initial enterprise  in   tbis particular
line of manufactulng. There is considerable spruce and other timber at
the coast suitable for the manufacturing of pulp. To show tho growth of
the pulp industry in the older portions of Canada to which it is confined at present it might be mentioned
that ln th9 paBt 20 years it has assumed considerable magnitude. The
industry was first mentioned in the
ceosus of 1881 which gave the following figures in connection with it*
Capital invested, 892,000, wages paid
$15,730, value of products, 803,000.
Ten years aftewards the census of 1891
gave the following figures: Capital'
invested, $2,900,907, wages paid
$292,099, value of products, $1,057,810.
A comparison of these figures shows
for the ten years an increase of 310
per cent, in the capital invested, of
1940 per cent, ln wages paid, of 108
per cent, in the value of the products
turned out. The figures for the decade between 1891 and 1901 are not
available, but it is ceitain that the
inciease was stiil greater than in tbe
previous ten years.
There iB a good market for paper in
the province and in this the British
Columbia manufacturer of paper
should have almost a monopoly,owing
to the costly haul across the continent. The rate per carload lots on
paper from Toronto and Montreal to
Nelson is 81.70 per hundred pounds,
in less than carload lots 82..Il per
hundred pounds. The rate for the
transcontinental haul to Vancouver
and other Pacific coast terminals is
less, as tbe Nelson consumer of paper
is compelled to pay the rate through
to the coast plus the haul from the
coast to Nelson. With a factory-
making paper at the coast the local
consumer could land his paper here
considerably cheaper in both carloads
and less than carload lots than at
present.
There are two paper mills in Washington, one at Everett and the other
at La Camas. They find ready market
for tbeir wares in the cities in Oregon
and Washington and the surplus is
exported to Australia, Mexico and tbe
Orient, and eleBwhere. The B. C. paper makers will find a market in these
same countries for the surplus output
So far as pulp is concerned there iB
a good market for il is Japan, where
it is necessary to impoit it for paper
making as tbe home demand of
pulp is not equal to the production.
Considerable pnlp is made in Eastern
Canada is now sent to Japan, but
with a factory at the Pacific coast the
supply would be largely secured from
there.
Tbe outlook for the new paper and
pulp enterprise is bright and tbe
newspapers, which are large consumers of paper will warmly welcome the
advent of the industry of paper and
pulp making in British Columbia.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Affairs in China are resuming their
normal condition, according to the
statement of Commissioner Rockhill,
who has just returned to the United
States. The recent disturbances, re-
dorts of which attracted some attention rather on account of tbe general
lack of information than for any
other reason, are declared by Mr.
Kookhill to havo been exaggerated.
There has boen no trouble over the
railway from thc coast to Pekin since
the Tien-Tsin affair. News still
comes of local disturbances, but tbe
aocounts represent the authorities as
having them well in hand. Commercial interests seem to be tilting
charge of tbe country, at least as far
as the foreigners are concerned, and
one of the outcomes of the situation
will be the completion of commercial
iigrcftnents with China. The existing
treaties will probably be revised, and
more ports will be opened to the
world's trade. It will be a rejuve
nated empire with which the outside
world of tho opening century will
have to deal,���Uradstreets.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall
and York traveled from one side of
Canada to the other without having
any of their possessions stolen. It is
all the more regrettable, therefore
that on tbo eve of their departure that
an incident should occur in tho harbor
of Halifax whioh will throw a cloud
oo thc reputation of the people of
that city and leave at tho last inn
ments of the visit a bad impression ou
tho minds of the royal party. The
pmse and the natch of Prince Alex
ander ot Teck, brother of tho Duchess
of Cornwall, was filched by someone
from a stateroom on the Royal yacht
Ophir. The dispatch adds thai Mali
tax society people wore on board the
yacht ou the dav Hint the larceny was
committed. lt is not possible that
some society lady anxious to secure a
sovornir of the royal visit became a
kleptomaniac for the nonce, but then
it would be n keepsake which sho
could not sh ,����� without confusing thai
she bad been gnilty of larceny.
Halifax society ninst be torn from
center to circumfeience by the
incident.

Gentlemen : I write this testimonial from a sense of doty, having tested the
wonderful effect of yoar Asthmalene, for the cure of Asthma. My wife has
been afflicted with spasmodic asthma for th-*- past 12 yeHrs. Having exhausted
my own skill as well as many others, 1 chanced to sec your sign upon your

My wife commenced taking it about the first of November. I very soon noticed
a radical improvement. After using one bottle her Asthma bus disappear!il
and she is entirely free from all symptoms. I feel that I cnu consistently recommend the medicine to all who are afflicted with this distressing disease.
Yours respectfully, O. 1). l'HELPb, M. D.

cam: residing in this section and particularly by the American miners. As
editor of the Salt Lake '.Tribune awl
of the Territorial Enterprise and other
papers Judge Goodwin made a record
for himself that -was second to no
writer in the west. He perhaps understood the men who make up the
mining communities better than any
other writer in the United States, ne
wrote for them in a manner
which they understood and appre
eiated. This was because he haa
spent the belter part of hia life among
them and seemed to know them and
their dominant characteristic better
than they did themselves, Besides
this he took a broad view of national
afTaiis and graced every subject that
he wrote upon. Ilis editorial on the
death of llaifield, entitled ""What
Shadows Wo Arc," was a splendid
composition and is <*uoted by writers
of today, its diction being magnificent
and the sentiment retiected thc sadness
of tlie nation for the great loss which
it bad sustained. Jndge Goodwin In
his valedictory editorial takes a philo-
bopmcal view of his retirement from
the posi'.lon of editor and saya old
type in newspapers must make way
for bright new face;, tint still there
ia something tnounifnl about the
retirement of the veteran editor from
a paper wbich he has done ao much to
build up, for Judge Goodwin  wm the
life and   soul   of   the   Tribune for
number of years.
BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE.
Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for bruin, another for muscles,
and still another for hones. A correct diet will not only nourish a particular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other pait. Yet, however good your food may be, its nutriment is destroyed by indigestion or
dypepsia. You must prepare for tbeir
ppearance or prevent their coming by
aking regular doses of (iieen's August
Flower, the lnvorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifies the blood, and
makes you feel bnoyant and vigorous

INhlSTS ON IKS RI'.HTS.
Mr. Ilillyer (lets No Eavors From the
Citv and (Jives None.
A blockade occurred at the city
wharf yesterday which oaused considerable string language to be used by
the teamsters and others who were
affcotorl. The replnnking of the wharf
has now reached a point between the
plank dtiveway leading to tlie Nolson
sawmill and the solid ground. Yesterday it was not possible to get the
wharf coverel for the passage of
teams at the usual time for the steam,
ers to leave owing lo the change that
is being made in thc grade. There is
a private road running through the
premises of the sawmill and connecting with the wharf but as enoli teamster in turn tried to drive through it
he was turned back by Mr. lllllyyor,
the manager of tbe company, who told
tbem emphatically tbot there wus 'No
thoroughfare" over that road foi any
bnt his own teams. This necessitated
all the freight being carried by band
across the beams and along the whole
length of the wharf out to the steamers. As there was an exceptionally-
large amount of goods going out yesterday this was no light matter, but
nil appeals made to Mr. Ilillyer were
fruitless. When questioned by a Miner
repoiter as to his reason for refusing
the temporary use of his road Mr.
Ilillyer said that, he had over .75, (IM)
invested in his plant, employed on an
average 45 men, and paid very high
taxes, yet the city couuou had made a
point of not giving him any business
at all. They would not encourage a
home enterprise in the slightest, way,
but made a point of sending their
orders for lumber abroad. Now tbey
closed up their own wharf and expected to get free running right over his,
but he did not mean to allow it. Mr.
Hillyer further stated that ail pusson-
gers and mail could cross his dock,
and all fieight oould go aoross his
dock provided it did not interfere
with his business, Ue had no quarrel
with the public but he had a grievance against the oity. It is his intention to keep up the "No thorough-
fa re" sign until the oity authoiities
deem tlio matter of sufficient Importance to come lo him and request that
tne street be opened. Thus the matter stands nt present.

J. linlliip, of Balfonr, oame into
Nolson yesterday in his steam lannoh
Nuider, for tbe purpose ol laying in
hupphes.
Tbe fine weather has had the effect
of keeping up the boating on the lake,
there being as many boata hired now
every day as in the height of summer.
The tug Surprise yesterday brought
iu a barge load ot lumber for the city
wbarf from Ihe mills at Pilot Bay;
and the Vedette brought in some

The Ladies' Aid of the Congregational church intend to hold a supper

Tbe Kootenay Wire Works report
that business is very good indeed
with them, and that they get ail the
business they can handle. Tbe ship
ments so far this week were to Fernie, Ulairmore, Kaslo. Kevelstobc,
Veinon, Armstrong, and Orand

At Emmanuel Congregational cburcb
yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Miss
Mary Elizabeth McKinnon. of Nelson,
was married to A. Uarvin, of tbe
Fern mine, by Key. W. Munroe. The

Micbae) Smith, who was arrested at
Robson for larceny in Republic and
afterwards discharged and tben was
persuaded to go 10 Northport when he
thoiglit bo was going to Robton
again, has been up for preliminary
trial at Republic. Tha magistrate
ther6 concluded that Smith had been
illegally arrested at Northport and he
was discharged. lie decided that the
Kheriff had exceeded his power in tak
ing Smith into tbe United States as
be bad.
COFFEE DID IT.
Would Have Been Fatal if Kept Uo.
ColTee I ! Ob how I did want it
after the nervous strain of pnblic
work. Something warm to biace me
np was all the breakfast I graved, but
every time I drank it, I suffered tbe
dying sensation that follows it the
heart fluttering and throbbing of the
throat and ears.
I had no strength to throw away in
that way, so decided hot water must
do for me.
One morning 1 came to broakfast in
the borne of some friends in Pueblo,
Colo., just in time to see the mother
pouriog some rioh deep yellow colTee
into mugs for the two little boys,
(hie little chap had thr'ist his fingers
in the mug and waB licking tbem
with sucb approving smacks. This
opened the way for me to say, 'Are
you not afraid of the effects of coffee
on the little folks?' The mother explained that it was Pcainra Food
Coffee made at Battle Creek, Miiol-
gan, and remarked, 'We think there
is nothing like It.' Tben abe explained how the new coffee had
weaned them away frum tbe use of
the old-fasbioned coffee, and tea
because it is so wholesome,' I drank
lt there for the first time, and was
delighted, not only with the delicious
flavor, but the after satisfaction it
gives. One day I was speaking with
our .family physician's wife abont
I'ostum, when her daughter remarked,
'Yes. Mamma, we are out of Postum,
and I have used coffee for the laat two
mornings snd it always brings that
tired feeling and troubles my stomach
and bowel*,,but Postum makea me ieel
alright..'
in one home they served Postnm in
tucb a way that it was tasteless. I
have found that Postnm boiled sometimes five minutes, and sometimes ten
is nothing more than spoiled water,
bnt when it is made with two heaping
teaspoonsful for ench cup, and boiled
fifteen or twenty minutes it becomes a
tried and proven breakfast favorite,
and for refreshment and wholesome
nourishment has not equal.;" M. M.

All the sportsmen coming in from
the flats near Kootenay landing report good sport, altnongb owing to
the continued fine weather it is not
easy to get near the birds which aie

probably the largest secured this
season.
The opening up of thc nine between

At the police court yesterday morn
ing the cases of the Chinamen charged
witb breaches ol the health by-laws
came up before Magistrate Crease. In
the first of these cases objection was
raised to the charge by A. M. Johnson that tbe law as it stood bad no
meaning, and therefore there conld be
no conviction made under it. Tbe
objection related to By-law 100, an
amendment ot by-law 75, iu which it
was stated that certain words in tbe
first and seventh line, Bhould be
atiuck out and others substituted
therefore. As it happened tbe words
refeired to were not in the seventh
line but in the sixth. The magistrate
adjourned the case till this morning,
to consult certain legal rulings in
similar cases. Iu the otber case, in
which a Chinaman was charged with
having allowed an accumulation of
rubbiBh at his back door, he stated
that it had been all cleaned up. His
ease was also adjourned to allow the
health olllcer to examine the premises

NO DEPORTATIONS.
R.    E.    Williams,     the     Government

Among tbe   arrivals   at   the    Hume
last   evening   was   R     E.    Williams,
Dominion  agent,   wbo   bas   been   in

BRIGANDS MAY GIVE UP.
Constantinople, Oct. 23.���Cold rains
are falling in the district where the
brigands who abducted Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the American missionary, are
concealed and a prolonged stay in the
mountains ia believed to be almost impossible even for tbe brigands. Hence
it ih considered likely tbat they will
hasten to release the captive aa soon
as they can secure the ransom and to
disperse to tbeir homes. No word has
come from the missionaries today,
though W. W. Peet. treasurer of missions heie, to whom tbey ooinmum-
cated, is still most hopeful. Mr. Peet
is not expecting newa until he is
asked to forward the gold,which it iB
esimated will weigh between 300 and
400 pounds.

Special Features of the
Florence   Hot   Blast
Our New Idea Deflector Fire Pot greatly increases the heating capacity of the stove, and in connection with the deflector ring forces the
heat to the floor. The base is hot, the floor being warmer than w'th a
base burner.
The Hot Hlast Attachment takes in the cold air through a duct at the
rear of the fire pot, the heated air being discharged in a circle at the top
of Are pot, over fire, thus consuming all the gases and products of combustion. It can be operated in connection with the front draft door, or
(independently, by a screw register in the rear of base, insuring complete
control of the ste ve with nearly perfect combustion.
The large Hot Air Circulating Flue on the back takes the cold air from
the floor and ejects it. .ntensely heated, through the top adding greatly
to the heating capacity.
Where the stove is operated according to directions we guarantee it to
consume all the gas contained in soft coal, thus deriving the benefit of
all the heat in the fuel consumed, causing a truly remarkable saving of
fuel over any other stove on the market. The stove will hold fire from
2\ to 48 hours without attention.
