IU.���Justin McCarthy, who is in Amerion leoturiug in the interest of Ireland, and who spoke in Atlanta ou "Victorian Ago of English Literature." has been BUUbbed and criticized by Atlanta Irishman because of his views favoring an Anglo-American alliance, as expressed in his lecture Saturday night. Ho declared himself in favor of such an alliance and today many lending Irishmen, of this city, are severely criticizing the visitor. It was proposed to honor Mr. McCarthy at a banquet in Altanta but Irishmen put ou the committee 0f arrangements decline to serve, giving as a reason (hat no true friend of Ireland oan favor an English alliance with (ho United States. Tho dissatisfaction resulted iu tho banquet and other entertainments conloinplatcil being called off, The incident has stirred the Atlanta Irish colony (o the greatest pitch. Mr, McCarlhy addressed an immense audience nt the Grand Opera House where his utterances were enthusiastically received by Americans bul ooolly listened to by many Irish peoulo in the house. Among ullui things hjy**nid: "i am an'advocate of a olpse friendship and an understanding between the two great English-speaking countries of the world. 1 believe Unit it would le li good thing for Ihe world. The people of England are friendly toward the United Btules. Evon the war of tho Amerioan revolution was a war of ministry and not of a people against the colonies. The Earl of Chatham and bis associates represented (be feelings of England ai that lime and il was the stubbornness and madness of the king and bis closest advisors which led England into the war with her colonies, if the lwo countries form an alliance Ihcy will shape Ihe destinies of tin; world. The iulluence. of American free Institutions will bo felt in England aud will aid home rule for Ireland." It is this language to which the Atlanta Irish object. James Guillcspio. who is among those who refused to serve on the banquet committee, said: "It is true I was oue of the committee to entertain Mr. McCarthy. On account; of his views on the proposed English-American alliance, (he com- inilleo decline to act. The Irishmen of this country are a unit against the tnuoh-talked-of alliance. They sec that England is on her knees begging for an alliance, and it has always been the motto of palriolic sons of Ireland that England's difficulty is Ireland's opportunity. The hope (;f all Irishmen is to see America steer clear of entangling alliances with England." HE LOST HIS EUASON. A Result of the Winnipeg Hank- Robbery.���The Mystery Unsolved, Winnipeg, Deo. ID,���One of the clerks of the Unison's Hank, a member of a prominent Toronlo family, who has been subject lo periodical attacks of deiuenla, shortly after the robbery lost his reason, and was taken to his friends in Tomoto. The supposition thai he was under surveil- auce of detectives preyed upon him so heavily in to bring upon linn an unusually severe attack of his affliction. It was this IIQcidout which gave rise to the baseless rumor that a clerk of tho bank had gone demented and confessed to the perpetration of the recent robbery. Tho detectives are still at Work upon the case, hut no trace of the missing niouoy lias been found. GEN. GARCIA DEAD. The Cubau Patriot Passes Away in Washington. Washington, Dec. 12.���General Cal- ixto Garcia, Ihe distinguished Cuban warrior and leader, and the head of the commission elected hy tbo Cubau assembly to visit this country, died here Sunday morning shortly after 10 o'clock at tho Hotel Raleigh, where tho commission has ils head- .quarters. The sudden clningn from tho warm climate of Cuba, with I ho hardships he bad there endured, to tho wintry weal her of New York, was responsible for the pneumonia which resulted in bis demise. Ho contracted a slight cold in New Vork which did uot assume an alarming stage until tho enrly part ot last week.

Critehctt, who was making Ihe transfer of tbe station, had been in the ollice all evening wilh Mr. Williams and Operator Morris McC'arly. Shortly after II o'clock Mr. Oritchotl left Hie ollice. and a few moments later Williams aud McCarty. who were standing Willi their backs to tbo ticket window, were sttirlled by a oommaud coming from behind them, to throw up their hands. At first, however, they bo lieved it to be an attempt at a joke by an acquaintance, and paid no attention to Ihe first or second command, The third was accompanied by Ihe click of the revolver and four arms went up as one. The robbers immediately asked that Ihcy bo told Ihe combination of tho safe, but as Williams bad not yet been given it ho could uot comply with (lie request. Ono of the robbers thou Btopped to Ihe safe aud tried the knob and was surprised lo find (lie sale door unlocked. While the second highwaymen covered with his revolver Ihe two thoroughly frightened employes, the firsl kicked to pi Goes the two wooden drawers of the safe and appropriated everything contained therein. Whal amount of booty wai secured it is imposiblo to say but nothing was lefl behind. The robbers did not molest the personal property of either Williams or McOarty, but left with tlie remark: "Hoys, you are all right." The robbers WOrft safely away before (he alarm was given but Deputy Sheriff Terry is on their track.

True to its history traditions and the Emperor's great aims, the German nation, while protecting to the fullest its every right and interest, aud miudful that its future depends npnn its strength and the sharpness of its sword, will nevertheless halt when universal aims of humanity, or the maintenance of tho world's peace and commerce aro involved."

Paris. Dee. 12. ���In tho Chamber of Deputies today, M. Gronsset, Radical Socialist, interpellated the Government Qii the directions of the general staff in the Dreyfus affair. He read extracts from newspaper articles which aro alleged to have eniinatod from mombers of tho geueral staff which caused a violent uproar, during Whioh the Dcnnties rose and rushed at one another and engaged iu a serios of fist fights. M. Groussot ountinned his remarks In the midst of the tumult and recalled an article in the Intran- sigiueauste referring to letters from Emperor William and an Interview between Count Yon Minister, the German ambassador, at Paris, and M. Casimii'-Porior, tlie former President of the Republic Count Dcmun, the Conservative leader, lure interrupted tbo speaker and desired that the house be consulted as to whether the discussion should be allowed to continue. The Premier, M. Dupuy, said that as head of the Government, he protested with the utmost energy against Ihe language of tho speaker who, he added hail not measured its possible effect. (Applause.) M. DorouJede, Revisionist, shouted- "Como off the Tribune!" This caused a redoubleiuent of llio uproar. When semi-quiet had been restored, M. Gronsset said iho center of resistance to (he revision of the Dreyfus caso was no longer the ministry of war, it was elsewhere. As to the secret documents ill the case, he pointed cut that they had been ridiculed by Emperor William himself (loud protests). M. Deschene, Republican, invited the speaker not to mix foreign sovereigns in the debate any more than ho would mix the President of the Republic iu (hem. M. Gronsset continuing, spoke of the articles in newspapers in which it; was hinted thai Russia and the Czar worn mixed up in tho Dreyfus affair and he also alluded to the recent seini- oliicial nolo relative to the minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse. being obliged to e.viilain certain statements lo the German ambassador, (Violent Interruptions) relative to tho kilter's daughter (Uproar and Hoots). Russia. Gronsset said, was next mixed in (be affair. The Bpeaker said he pointed out these matters in order to show that a press campaign had been inaugurated by interested persons to prevent the discovery of the truth, M, Groussett concluded- with demanding whether the government was disposed in permit the confer of resistance to the law lo pass from Ihe ministry ot wur to ihe general Staff of the military government of Paris, whether il would any longer tolerate Ibis attitude' of ringleaders and whether il would govern for the Republic] or fur I lie Jesuits (Applause from the Leftists and violent protests elsewhere, i The ministers of war, M.

Herr Richter protested against .the recent expulsions from North Schleswig as being unworthy of a great people aud expressed the hopo that the negotiations with Great Britain for a commercial troaty wore progressing woll. Tho Radical leador also said no unnecessary obstacles should bo plucod in the way of the importation of American products. He then advocated the new army bill, but Said it was of such proportions that ii did not harmonize with the sympathy expressed iu tho speech from iho throne on the subject of tho (V.ar's disarmament proposals. Iu conclusion Horr Richter severely criticized ihe treatment of the Lipnn Det- tnold question nnd demanded that Emperor .William's telegrams should bo countersigned by the responsible ministers. Count i'osadowsky-Webner, Imperial Secretary of State for the futerioi referring to alleged uneasiness as to the condition of public affairs, said lhat in his opinion tho situation both ut home and abroad was favorable. In any event, ho could aver that there was no uneasiness among the Federal Governments of the Empire which wen; entirely of one mind on all important questions, Regarding Herr Rfnhter's allusion to ministerial responsibility lie said nothing was douu without the responsibility of tho Imperial Chancellor and that during Emperor William's absence in the east, public affairs had beeu continuously disposed of. Tim lateness of dale for convening the Reichstag was due. lie said, to the necessity of thoroughly preparing the proposed bills. Regarding tho expulsions, he pointed out that tbo power vested In individual slides for tho performance of such acts could not lie limited. He then explained the necessity for legislation to protect men who are willing to work against tho intimidation of strikers, and concluded by declaring that tbe settlement of the Lippo-Detmold succession rested with tho Bundesruth, which bad not yet reached a decision. Baron Von Bulow, the Foreign Secretary, dwell at length upon foreign affairs, lie said the Eastern union ut the present moment was peaceful and much less threatening lo I lie peaeu of the world, though he did not mean in imply that tho problem was Battled, Discussing Emperor William's ro- cent lour, Baron Von Bulow said that ils lOBUlt had disproved nil stories disseminated as adventurous plans and opposing claims. German Pro- lesianis would allow uo one to dispute their right lo have a house of God in Holy places. The desire of thu Emperor, be asserted, to dedicate the Church of the Redeemer himself was an act of piety to his ancestors as well ns a matter of personal religion. Tbe jour,ie/ also showed other gov- ernnieiil.i, the foreign Seoretary continued, that (ieimany does not wish lo injure the well intended rights of there anywhere. Neither in tl.o East or elsewhere did Germany oppose French interests, Referring to tho expulsions from Prussia, he said: "In- liTiintiunal relations will be in no way disturben,since the expulsions were an aol of .sovereignty, which in certain special cases could not be avoided." With.regard to Germany's relations to Great Britaiu, Baron Von Bulow said thero wore various matters in which Germany could proceed in company with England, and that will ingly, without prejudice to and with ihe fullest maintenance of other valuable relations, Then turning to Germany's attitude toward tho llispano- Ainerican war, he said: "Our duty has been to lake care that Germany's relations with neither Spain nor America should be disturbed, Germany has no special interest in Cuba and it was uot tor Germans to judge who was right or who was wrong. Therefore, the German Government has scrupulously observed a loyal neutrality. Never during the war did the government show or evon feel any inclination toward unwarranted intervention. In a straight forward manner within the bounds of strict neutrality, and without prejudicing our relations wilh eithc belligerent, wo did everything in our power to prevent injury to German shipping and trade.

Tho result of the investigation into the Ainsworth disaster is that, so far as tho evidence before tho Board goes, the captain and crow of tbo ill fated vessel did all that was possible under tho circumstances to savo the lives of the passengers and the freight on board the vessel. Thus all the damaging rumors to tbo contrary that have been circularod, aro discredited by the Hoard of Trade. At the nn cling of tho Board of Trade last night in the ahsiuce of the Prosidenl, Mr. Frank Fletcher took the chair, whereupon tl letter from the committee in charge of tho investigali' n was handed iu, and then the secretary reread tho statements of B. J. Long, George MoFariaud, M. G. Cuiuthiiigs and J, Brett, whioh were produced at tho last nice ting, and Ihe account ,.f tin1 accident and several letters whioh appeared in Tho Miner were also read. Mr, T. G. Proctor, one of the committee, then recited Ihe evidence he had gathered from tho officers and crew, which wcnl to prove that the boat was not overloaded, as she had but sovon cords of wood, about four ���' :j: jf freight, and 89 persons aboard at the time ol the nbcfflent. i he evidi nee he adduood also showed that both the machinery aud hull hud lieu examined ami pronounced sound by the Canadian und United States llUtllOritieS, thai every effort had been to recover the bodies of tho victims, and that everything possible had I,ecu done to save the cargo which, through being under water, was practically impossible to get at. Mr. II. B. Thomson then banded in statements procured by Mr. H. J. Long from scleral of the passengers, which be bad received shortly before the meeting. Mr. Noil Campbell slated lhat thero was no one a! tho wheel when ho eamo on deck as she keeled over, lhat no orders were linen, and that (ho eiiptuiu and purser were the Oral to get in tho lifeboat. Ho further said that when in shore lie had suggesled lying tho stranded vessel to ihe shore, which would have saved her cargo, and that seven of Ihe crew wore under tho iulluence of liquor, Nathaniel Latham also sevi rely scored the ollicers and men. and considered the cargo might have been saved. W. E. Gorman lated lhat tho second mate threatened to knock anyone on the head with an oar who tried to got in the boat, but promised to como back for Iho others, lie saw .1.

Ho also blamed (lie captain, whom he snid wus cal ing supper at the time of tho acci- iliui, but tlie behavior of Engineer Kane was most creditable, .lames Lamoille tostlflfld that he was the lu-i man in Ihe life boat, which contained in is.

Captain Lean then told his story in person, lie told it straight for- wardly and to the satisfaction of (hose present, who cross-examined him closely. Referring to Mr. Campbell's lory, be said that (lie latter bad shown himself lo bo a crank vyhilo ii I oard, and had beeu officious and had bad lo be called down severely, and he I bought he was actuated by pique, Tlie captain had got into tho boat lirs!, because if she had not been gotten loose before the snip went over. she would have been ID feet under water, lie did not give orders as there was no one to give their) to, two out of the four practical sailors having been drowned, and ho was obliged lo personally disengage tho life boat, Everything was over fivo minutes after Ihe alarm was given. They were obliged to threaten tho passengers, so as to make them get into the boat one by ono, and thus avert I another catastrophe, Ho went with the Brsl boat, as with him thero wero i only three practical men. They had nothing but planks for oars, the soa was rough and Ihe large boat required j careful handling, It was evident too I by then tbat tho Ainsworth would noli sink.

It was unanimously agreed however, tbe regulation was necessary, though ono 3, inch connection with each bouse would bo sullleient, and, on the Mayor stilting that "tbe matter will adjust itself, if discretion is used," the mutter dropped. Tbe Mayor stated that he had staked (100 miner's inches of water on tbo head waters of the Salmon River on behalf of the city. Tbe questions arising out of tbe freezing up of water pipes wore then discussed at some length, and thu Mayor stated that the practice of letting taps run nil night wns not only il- legul, but fraught with danger to tho city. If, during a cold snap, 100 consumers allowed their tups to run all night, tbe waste of water amounted to more than the flow of the creek, with the result that tbe supply of water in the reservoir got low, and there would be insufficient water supply in caso of fire. No action was taken in tho matter. MININO TRANSFERS Whoro no consiieratlon is mimed in transfers the nominal sum of tl is to be understood. Dec. 10.��� Lucy (fraction)���E. O. Nelson to J. Ostin, U.

Nelson, (Continued from Kir���t Page.) and knocked everything to pieces in no time. He did not know what caused tbo disaster. It could not huvo been a leak. Probably a plank was suddenly sprung. The crow were not drunk. Tbe rule of tho boat was that the men should not be treated and bo bad given orders to that effect to the steward who was a now baud. Tho crew was a now one, and bo wus about all the time, and would havo noticed any signs of intoxicalion. Mr. E. J. Ma'thews, manager of the Ainsworth, then detailed tbo efforts tbivt bad boou made to save the cargo, and Und Ihe bodies of tbo victims, quoting in tbis latter respect tbe report of tbe constable at Ainsworth which appeared in The Miuer, and which testified that all possible) efforts had been mado without succoss. Mr. Campbell was a windy gentleman, and he had treated his offer of salvage as an irresponsible boast. Before retiring Mr. B. .1. Mathews thanked the Board for the opportunity of presenting his caso. It was tbe general opinion of those present tbat tho written testimony, Which they bad had no opportunity of testing, was conflicting aud in some instances absolutely incorrect, and it was tbo unanimous opinion that Captain Loan bad acted for tbe host under the circumstances, and was deserving of praise rather than blame. At tbe samo time it seemed desirable that the origin of tho disaster should be cleared up. It was accordingly moved by Mr. T. G. Proctor, seconded by Mr. H. B.Thomson: "That this board after investigating the matter cannot reasonably attach auy blame to any person connected with the steamer, and that the cause of the foundering of tbe stoamer remains a mystery, and, further, that tho captain used good judgment iu his behavior in rescuing passengers. Nevertheless, this Board is of the opinion that, in cases of accidents of this kind, where there hns uoen considerable loss of life, tbe Government should miiko tbe fullest investigation as to the cause thereof." Copies of the resolution will be sent to the Attorney-General and to Iho Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and, after tbo Secretary had read a letter from Mr. B. M. Armstrong, (ontroller of the P. O. Department, to the effect that the request of tho Board to mails to East Kootenay would receive 1 rompt attention, tho Board adjourned.

Mr. Hunter for ihe newspaper men, argued that the article complained of was only fair comment, neither intended nor calculated to bring tho court into contempt or to influence its decision in any caso. He further raised the point that the judge referred to, Mr. Justice Martin, is not legally a judge at all, his appointment by the Dominion Government being invalid. Mr. Hunter, in support of this point, quoted from section seven of the Supreme Court Act, ns follows: "Any barrister of less than ten years standing and who has been in actual practice at the bar of tho court for ten years, shall be qualified to be appointed a judge of the court." He presented an affidavit to show that Mr. Martin had beeu admitted to tho bar of the province in 18(14, only four years ago. Mr. Justice Drako reserved his decision. Par Name of Company ' Vnluo.

S. FOWLER'S COLLECTION OF B- C ORE. Seyeral Interesting BpeoimenB to be For warded to tho Columbia, University iu Now York. Mr. S. B, Fowler has mado a most interesting and very fairly representative collection of specimens of Ihe ig- neoui rocks of Southern British Columbia, which ho is about to send to the Columbia University of New York. These specimens, us Mr. Fowler explained to a Miner reporter, are especially interesting to tho mining man as they represent tho rooks which contain the deposits of precious metals in this cnuitry. A olose acquaintance with these rocks would bo very useful to tho prospector, bnt is absolutely Indispensable to the expert who is called upon to give an opinion as to the probable permanence of oro bodies, whose outoroppiugs arf visible on the surface. By way of au instance of the expensive errors into whi 'h prospectors and others are often led through lack of acquaintance with these rocks, Mr. Fowler pointed to a pieos of white felsitc, faintly speckled with iron pyrites, which he hail taken from a dyke neai Sicamous. A man was busily employed in sinking on the dyke in question, and was very much surprised and mortified when informed that the mineral he was extracting was not quarts. This folsito occurs frequently in the Slocan in connection will) the mineral [InpnBits, and Iho collection also ooulaluou another Bpeoimeu from the Anloiue mine, and a piece ul quart/, felsitc from Iho QueUD. Bess. There were also Several specimens of gnbbro, the rock Iu which the boat Red Mountain, near ti i ii found, and also ore deposits Oil Bosslaud, have of diorile which the same and many The dinrite Is uf than the gnbbro. Another luterostiuc ml in dykes other localities, later occurrence speeimon was an "agglomerate" from the Qertrndf mine at Kossland. This rock is the result of the aecummuliiti if dust, nnd minute particles of rock, which have been subsequently indurated by various agencies. Thero was also a very interesting specimen from the Ooxoy mine, which showed distinct traces of its origin, pioces both of gabbro and quartz being plniuly discernible embedded in lava. There were also two specimens of hornblendic granite tnki n a few miles down the Kootenay Kivor, Their color nnd texture differed, showing thai one rock bad cooled much more rapidly than the oilier. Spa :e forbids an enumeration of ihe specimen!, bul Home molybdenite from the Ooxey, nnd samples of feldspar ami porphyry were also in the collect ion, As the object was to furnish spool- mens of ihe representative igneous rocks of the district, ihe various oris were not all represented, 'J here were, howe.er, samples uf chnlco.pyrite ore from thu Le Uoi and War Kajlo, pyrr- hotite from the Monte Uristo, and py. rite from tho Nicklo Plate This Inst was taken from a cross vein occupying j a fault iu the ledge.
