TAB YUKON
Labelle and Foumier Under
Sentence of Death
Will Be Hanged at Dawson
In January
Dawson. Y. T., Nov. 11.—Awaiting the
gallows, Poter Fournler und Edward ha.
Belle, condemned murderers, who for
years wore friends, now regard each other
Iu their Dawson prison ceils ns enemies,
nnd eaoH complains of the other as an annoyance. Between them they killed three
men, Beaudoln, Bouthllette nnd Con-
Mtuntlne, June 23rd, 100 miles above Dawson, on tho Yukon. The law has convicted each of murdering a man and with
this the pursuit of justice rests.
Foumier malntaineu to the last that
La Belle killed all three of tho victims,
and La Belle maintained that Fournler
did the murderous work. This was the attitude of each hefore the trial, und the
testimony of each on tho witness stand.
Foumier claims In addition that La Belle
killed Glhnult, a fourth man, below Eagle
on the American side of the line, but
as the men are under sentence of death
for two specific findings of murder against
them, the oase of the fourth victim will
not be sifted.
In their prison life. La Belle and Four-
nler have no Interest In common. Although In early years they crossed the
Chilcat mountains, struggling side by side
nnd came Into the Yukon basin to seek
wealth, and In vicissitudes continued together until they were condemned us
murderers, they now are estranged In
their prison cells and arc singularly different In their behaviour.
Founder asks for no spiritual consolation. La Belle does. Foumier has sworn
and blasphemed boisterously, but he has
subsided to some degree of late. La Belle
has been more and more quiet, us though
stunned by the condemnation Upon him.
Several  men condemned, for murder in
tills   territory   have   been   pardoned   by
Ottawa after prayers for clemency from
this quarter.   But In these instances the
r men  wero convicted of murder resulting
( apparently more from an Impulse of passion or the overpowering force of liquor.
In   the  case  of  La  Belle   and   Foumier
- '.-Imr  teems 1iunod on   tho greed   for
' money,   and   to   have   been   cokl'blooded,
, heartless  and  deliberate  and   little  hope
j" Is entertained of pardon.
To   the  justice of  the  men  condemned
' it must be said' both wore convicted, aside
(from the testimony of (lie two principals,
on   circumstantialv evidence.     Each   man
denied  doing the. deed,   but  both  placed
themselves in the:-tight of accessories after
the  fact by acknowledging having taken
money off the victims and concealing the
[ news of the crimes.
The story of the trial of La Belle has
been  given  in detail  In  previous corres-
\ pondence.   While hla story was filled with
the  plot and  Incident,  his  trial  and  his
I testimony wus tedious as-compared with
; the trial and testimony of Foamier.
Foumier was on trial for seven hours.
Three minutes after the jury went out It
returned and rendered a verdict of guilty.
The work of the court and the jury has
seldom been so swift, so conclusive and so
) positive   In   connection   with   a   case   of
', clrcumstanllnl   evidence   In   the   modern
I history of criminality.
La  Belle  was on  trial   five  days,  ind
' was on the stand a day and a half hlm-
' self,    Foumier  was  on   trial   only  one
day,  with a total of seven hours before
tbo  bench.and  In  the witness  stand  not
more than an hour.
The story of tho various witnesses
against Founder was of little more value
In the case than to prove the man had
been with the three victims on the way
down tho river; that he afterwards wns
In Dawson with La Belle and had some
' of the goods nod money of the victims
hero. Even this the defendant admitted
himself.
Founder, when he took the stnnd,
talked freely but without effect. He reviewed the trip up the Yukon, tho meet*
Ing with tho three victims, nnd the trip
to the Island where the murders were
' committed.   Then ho continued:
"Landing on the Island, wo had supper
ntid went to bed. Bouthllette wns at our
feet. La Belle was next to the door of
the tent. Between 4 and r> o'clock La
Belle awakened mo with a stick of wood
and went away.
"In fifteen minutes Constnntlne got up
nnd went out. I heard a shot. La Belle
came hack and said Constnntlne hnd shot
n rabbit. He stood at the door. Beau-
doin went out, and another shot wns
heard. Soon Bouthllette put his head out
i and La Belle shot him.
"La Belle then called me out.   Coastan-
tlne wns lying on his stomach near the
bont.   We searched his body and took $100
j and his gold watch, nnd.shoved the body
In the river.
"We got $25 from Bcnudotn, and then
threw his body In the. river. From-Bout hi*
leltc's body we got $35 and his watch, and
threw him in the river,
"La Belle then proposed we burn the
1 clothes. He did, nnd then threw n valise
In with them. We kept the blankets nnd
brought them to Dawson.
"Some blood remained on the boat, and
nt La Bctle's suggestion I washed It off
with n rag1.
"I had no revolver and used none. La
Belle had his rifle, nnd kept It as a memento. Ho said he had killed three men
with it."
Revolver shells were found on the Island
with the rifle shells, nnd Founder wns
proved to have possessed a revolver not
long before the murders.
Fournler testified he hnd some difficulty
In Keeping La Belle from killing Ous Le |
Hereaux in Dawson. He then described
the trip, as in his previous statement
weeks ago, frqm Dawson to Circle with
La Belle, and again claimed that La Belle
killed Gullbault above Circle. In the trial
of La Belle the defendant stated Gullbault had gone down the rover when he
saw him last with Fournler and another
man.
"We wero going to Seattle," said
Fournler, "when we reached Whitehorse
from Dawson, and decided to return to,
Dawson, and on the way down the river
La Belle killed the three men."
Fournler admitted that he knew the
murders were to he committed. He knew
he snld, that when La Belie struck him
with the wood it wns the slgnul for the
murders.
"I did not say I wns looking for the
rope fifteen years ago," protested Fournler on the stand, "but that I was looking for the luck we got. I know I am
just as guilty as La Belle, but God Almighty knows 1 never shot those men."
As Fournler spoke ho stretched his hands
dramatically.
During the trial Fournler was In a matter of fact, yet nimble mood. He showed
not a qunver ns ho Identified the clothes
of the dead man and was fully ns self-
controlled In the stand ns La Belle had
been. Fournler was Intensely dramatic
nt times, and once or twice opened his
arms and addressed the gnllery witli the
words, "I am telling tho truth." He once
nsked La Belle from the box why the latter did not tell the truth.
"Perhaps never again shall any of us
listen to such a tnlc as hns been related
to us by this man," snld the firm and dlg-
nfiled judge Craig, ns he sentenced Fournler immediately after the trial.
"It la Impossible that any human being
made In the imnge of God could be guilty
of such a crime," said his lordship when
he Instructed the jury. "Fournler helped
to rob and do away with bodies. This he
admits. He also admits he knew the murders were to be committed, yet he did not
worn the victims; he remained in the
tent, and, he claims, was silent while the
murders-were progressing. But the surgeons testify the men were not all murdered with the name weapons," The)
judge pointed out that he who aids n
murder Is as guilty as the perpetrator.
The judge advised the jury its verdict
of guilty bad been just; that no other
could have been rendered.
Founder came to his feet with a click
of the heels to receive sentence. He did
not show a tremor. Ho heard the sentence
In  firm  silence,  and said:
'What's right Is right. I thank you
very much, Judge, for what you have given me. 1 have always been n little man.
und will tuke my medicine like a little
man.
Fournler spoke in strange boldness the
same way in the jail next day. lie is
rational, but some feci perhaps a degree
of peculiar Insanity has made the man a
heartless fiend.
La Belle is to hang January 10th nnd
Founder January UOjfh.

PROTECT TRADE.

and others iu the government service belong, has sent Its several members, through
the society's monthly publication, a statement of tho consideration which makes
the building of cruisers for the service
abroad a necessity, especially in Central
and South American waters.
The communication deals with German
trade relations there, and goes seriously
Into the amounts of the present capital
invested and the future possibilities. It
does not contain the least strain of jingoism but concludes with a carefully phrased paragraph s.'iylng that "Germans must
make up their > minds whether the business already created shall be protected
und extended or permitted to languish.
If Hie former alternative Is accepted the
navy must be. Increased by sufficient
cruisers to adequately protect trade."

London and he will make a very full
report to his directors on his return.
Mr. Hill Is a mining man of experience.
He was consulting engineer for the

that he will make known the exact,

"I hope the coke supply will keep up

Washington, Nov. 29.—The appearance
In Washington of I. Seilgman, a member
of a New York financial house which
has engaged extensively in international
syndication, taken In connection with
the associated press despatches printed
today from London relative to Venezuela finances was viewed In official circles here today as indicating the exlst-
ance of a syndicate with the purpose of
floating all of Venezuela's many debts
and thus averting the imminent danger
that the country now stands in, of a
seizuer of her custom houses by foreign
powers.
The assumption is that the prospective syndicate wishes to ascertain before closing a bargain with Venezuela
whether or not the United States will
Insure the meeting of Venezuela obligations which 11 would assume In the matter of repayment of the loan.
The United States government, It can
be stated on authority, is extremely
desirous that Venezuela settle her troubles with Great Britain and other foreign
countries without incurring the seizure
of any Venezuelan custome houses hy a
foreign power ns n means of collegtWH
just debts. This is regarded as the cou- '
tlngcncy to be avoided if possible be- ,
cause It is realized that serious friction
might follow between the foreigners and
the Venezuelans, and what in the beginning might be declared to Is omerely
a temporary occupation, but would, end
by a claim of permanence of which the
United States must take notice and
which It must contest. Therefore If any
responsible financial body Is willing to'
pay off Venezuela's foreign claims and
so relieve the country from the danger
of occupation such a move would be
welcomed by the state depnrtr*out.

The belief that the steamer has met

ignited, swept with a roar up the gangway, carrying death and destruction.
Timbers were torn out, mine cage blown

Miners working near the scene of the
lecident made a rush for the foot of the

The faces of the dead men were man-

wives and mothers gathered about the
mouth of the shaft as the dead and injured were brought to the surface and
Llieir grief was pitiful.
THE   NEW   DEFENDER.
Keel of Yankee Yacht Ready — Upper
Works Started.
Bristol, R. I„ Nov. 20.-Tho lead keel for
the new cup defence yacht was laid bare
In the boatshops here today and was pronounced by the designer to be Jn perfect
condition as regards form and outline.
The great mass of lead weighs about
100,000 pounds. It was planned at tlrst
not to uncover it until Monday but the
casting cooled sufficiently to allow of the
removal of  the clay protection  about  it.
Preparations are nearly complete for the
actual commencement of work on the upper portion of tho yacht. The nickel-
steel frames are already being bunt in the
ulucksmlth shop and the bronze keel Islets ure complete.

Chicago, Nov. 29.—With a deafening report a boiler In Swift & Company's plant
exploded shortly after 10 o'clock tbl*
morning. Thirteen lives were sacrlflceA
and scores of employees, visitors anA
others were Injured. Huge boilers wen
sent through the roof of the structure
and hurled hundreds of reel. Nobody
within the boiler room survived to teU
the story of the accident and It may never
be known what caused the explosion.
A careful investigation today, however,
convinced the experts that the explosion
was caused by carelessness on the part oX
an employee whose own life was sacrificed.
Five minutes after the explosion nothing remained of the building but a pile
of twisted iron, bricks and mortar. Sheet*
of flame were springing from the ruins
and the spectators realised that It would
be impossible to save the lives of those
who were caught In the wreck. The explosion was of such force that adjoining
buildings were wrecked, torn, and twisted
like toys. Men, women and boys who were
working in adjoining departments were
hurled through windows to the ground.
Many of them escaped but with slight
bruises but the most of the victims were
hurt to such an extent that It was necessary to remove them to the hospitals.
Many were taken to their homes. The
list of dead Includes Albert M. Bushnell,
the purchasing agent.
A dozen patrol wagons and as many
ambulances were sent from ell parts of.
the city. Extra calls for Are engines followed and soon the flames were being?
fought from every side. While the Ore
was still burning, policemen, firemen and
employees of the packing firms begau
digging in the ruins.
Many bodiep, bruised and mangled
were taken from the ruins and sent to the
morgues. A boy scalded from head to
foot and bledlng from' cuts and bruise*
staggered toward the office of the general
superintendent, Mr, Young, The boy, who
was Mr. loung's personal messenger, had
been so badly disfigured that Mr. Young'
did not recognize him.
Many theories were advanced as to the
responsibility for the disaster. One Inspector declared that the explosion had
been caused by cold water Injected Into
the boiler, but a majority of the Investigators held to the opinion that tbe catastrophe had been caused by low water.
Nothing definite was learned, however,
and as al) the men in the boiler room wer*
killed, It Is not likely the cause of th*
accident will ever be known. It Is not
thought the loss to swift ft Co. will
amount to more than $60,000, as the building in which the boilers were located wee
the only structure to be entirely destroyed.

NELSON, B. C., SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1902.
NO. 187
Labelle and Fournier Under
Sentence of Death
Will Be Hanged at Dawson
In January
i
Dawson, T. T.,' Nov. 11—Awaiting the
gallows, Peter Fournler and Edward La
Belle, condemned murderers, who for
years were friends, now regard each other
in their Dawson prison cells as enemies,
and each complains of the other as an annoyance, between them they killed three
men, Beaudoin, Bouthilette and Con-
stantine, June 23rd, 100 miles above Dawson, on the Yukon. The law has convicted each of murdering a man and with
this the pursuit of justice rests.
Fournier maintained to the last that-
La Belle killed all three of the victims,
and La Belle maintained that Fournier
did the murderous work. This was the attitude of each before the trial, and the
testimony of each on the witness stand.
Fournier claims in addition that La Belle
killed Gibault, a fourth man, below. Eagle
on the American side of the line, but
as the men are under sentence of death
for two specific findings of murder against
them, the case of the fourth victim will
not be sifted.
In their prison life, La Belle and Fournier have no interest in common. Although in early years they crossed the
Chilcat mountains, struggling side by side
and came into the Yukon basin to seek
wealth, and in vicissitudes continued together until they were condemned as
murderers, they now are estranged in
th'.ir prison cells and are singularly different in their behaviour.
Fournier asks for no spiritual consolation. La Belle does. Fournier has sworn
and blasphemed boisterously, but he has
subsided to some degree of late. La Belle
has been more and more quiet, as though
stunned by the condemnation upon him.
Several men condemned for murder in
this 'territory have been pardoned' b'y
Ottawa after prayers for clemency from
this quarter. But in these instances the
men were convicted of murder resulting
apparently more from an impulse of passion or the overpowering force of liquor.
In the case of La Belle and Fournier
the crime seems based on the greed for
money, and to have been cold-blooded,
heartless and deliberate and little hope
is entertained of pardon.
To the justice of the men condemned
it must be said both were convicted, aside
from the testimony of the two principals,
on circumstantial evidence. Each man
denied doing the deed, but both placed
themselves in the light of accessories after
the fact by acknowledging having taken
money off the victims and concealing the
news of the crimes.
The story of the trial of La Belle has
been given in detail in previous correspondence. While his story was filled with
the plot and incident, his trial and his
testimony was tedious as compared with
the trial and testimony of Fournier.
Fournier was on trial for seven hours.
Three minutes after the jury went out it
returned and rendered a verdict of guilty.
The work of the court and the jury has
seldom-been so swift, so conclusive and so
positive in connection with a case of
circumstantial evidence in the modern
history of criminality.
La Belle was on trial five days, and
was on the stand a day and a half himself. Fournier was on trialv only one
day, with a total of seven hours before
the bench.and in the witness stand not
more than an hour.
The story of the various witnesses
against Fournier was. of little more value
in the case than to prove the man had
been with the three victims on the way
down the river; that he afterwards was
In Dawson with La Belle and had some
of the goods and money of the victims
here. Even this the defendant admitted
himself.
[ Fournier, when he took the stand,
talked freely but without effect. He reviewed the trip up the Yukon, the meeting with the three victims, and the trip
to the island where the murders were
committed.   Then he continued:
"Landing on the island, we had supper
and went to bed.   Bouthilette was at our
feet.. La Belle was next to the door of
the  tent.    Between 4 and 5  o'clock La
awakened me with a stick of wood
rent away.
^Sfteen minutes Constantine got up
and went out. I heard a shot. La Belle
came back and said Constantine had shot
a rabbit. He*s£ood at the door. Beaudoin went out, and another shot was
heard. Soon Bouthilette put hi£ head out
and La Belle, shot him.
"La Belle then called me out. Constantine was lying on his stomach near the
boat. We searched his body and took $100
and his gold watch, and shoved the body
in the river.
"We got $25 from Beaudoin, and then
threw his body in the river.   From Bouthi-
lette's body we got $35 and his watch, and
threw him in the river.
"La Belle then proposed we burn the
clothes.   He did, and then threw a valise
in with them.   We kept the blankets and
brought them' to Dawson.
"Some blood remained on the boat, and
at La Belle's suggestion I washed it off
with a rag.
"I had no revolver and used none.   La
Belle had his rifle, and kept it as a memento.   He said he had killed three men
with it."
Revolver shells were found on the island
with  the rifle shells,  and Fournier was
proved to have possessed a revolver not
ioR£ before the murders.
Fournier testified he had some difficulty
in keeping La Belle from killing Gus Le
Hereaux in Dawson. He then described
the trip, as in his previous statement
weeks ago, from Dawson to Circle with
La Belle, and again claimed that La Belle
killed Guilbault above Circle. In the trial
of La Belle the defendant stated Guilbault had gone down the rover when he
saw him last with Fournier and another
man.
"We were going to Seattle," said
Fournier, "when we reached Whitehorse
from Dawson, and decided to return to
Dawson, and on the way down the river
La Belle killed the three men."
Fournier admitted that he knew the
murders were to be committed. He knew
he said, that when La Belle struck him
with the wood it was the signal for the
murders.
"I did not say I was looking for the
rope fifteen years ago," protested Fournier on the stand, "but that I was looking for the luck we got. I know I am
just as guilty as La Belle, but God Almighty knows I never shot those men."
As Fournier spoke he stretched his hands
dramatically.
During the trial Fournier was in a matter of fact, yet nimble mood. He showed
not a quaver as he identified the clothes
of the dead man and was fully as self-
controlled in the stand as La Belle had
been. Fournier was intensely dramatic
at times, and once or twice opened his
arms and addressed the gallery with the
words, "I am telling the truth." He once
asked La Belle from the box why the latter did not tell the truth.
"Perhaps never again shall any of us
listen to such a tale as has been related
to us by this man," said the firm and dig-
nfiied judge Craig, as he sentenced Fournier immediately after the trial.
"It is impossible that any human being
made in the image of God could be guilty
of such a crime," said his lordship when
he instructed the jury. "Fournier helped
to rob and do away with bodies. This he
admits. He also admits he knew the murders were to be committed, yet he did not
warn the victims; he remained in the
tent, and, he claims, was silent while the
murders were progressing. But the surgeons testify the men were not all murdered with the same weapons:" Thd
judge pointed out that he who aids a
murder is as guilty as the perpetrator.
The judge advised the jury its verdict
of guilty had been just; that no other
could have been rendered.
Fournier came to his feet with a click
of the heels to receive sentence. He did
not show a tremor. He heard the sentence
in firm silence, and said:
'What's right is right. I thank you
very much, judge, for what you have given me. I have always been a little man,
and will take my medicine like a little
man.'
Fournier spoke in strange boldness the
same way in the jail next day. He is
rational, but some feel perhaps a degree
of peculiar insanity has made the man a
heartless fiend.
La Belle is to hang January 10th and
Fournier January 20th.   Jv^x^
ROSSLAND'SORESHIPMENTS
OVER SEVEN THOUSAND TONS FOR
WEEK.
WORK RESUMED ON HOMESTAKE—
SILICA SHIPMENTS.
Rossland, Nov. 29.-The ore shipments for the week ending tonight show
an increase over the previous weeks'
production, and the increase for the year
to date over last year's output is now
over thirty thousand tons.
The £e Roi shipped 3,800 tons, the
Center Star, 2,040, War Eagle, 1,290,
Giant, 60. Total for week 7,190. Year to
date, 310,680, an increase to date over
last year of 31,747.
Operations have been resumed at the
Homestake mine in the south belt, with
a crew of fifteen men, which may be increased somewhat at an early date.
The Giant has reduced its working
force to one shift, but this is temporary, pending the completion of extensive plans for development.
The Velvet nas also suspended shipments pending the completion of important alterations and improvements to
its hoisting plant.
The Center Star mine has sent another considerable shipment of ore, about
four carloads or 100 tons in all, to the
bullion extraction works at Silica now
being used for experiments in concentration.
The War Eagle sends a hundred tons
to Silica next week for similar purposes,
the tests .being pushed ahead with expedition to permit of plans for a milling
plant being completed in time to commence concentration in the early spring.
THE  GRANBY  ORE  CRUSHER
Will Soon Be in Operation—Snowshoe's
Record Shipment.
Phoenix, Nov. 29.-(Special to The Daily
News.)—The 100-horse power dynamo,
which will drive the large ore crusher for
the Granby company here, which has already been erected at the Knob Hill ore
bins, arrived this week, and is being installed by the company's electrician. It
was furnishd by the Canadian General
Electric Co., of Peterborough, Ont. The
branch pole' line, from the substation of
the Cascade -power line, here, is partly
done, and the wire will soon be strung,
when the crusher will be placed in operation, with a total capacity §f 3,500 tons
of ore daily.
Word has been received here that the
second half of the 60-drill compressor,
the first half of which has already arrived, will be shipped from Sherbrooke,
Quebec, by. Christmas. This second half
wjll probably' be ready for use a month
later than the first half.
This week the Snowshoe. made the record shipment of any single week in the
mines history, sending out to the smelters
1.410 tons of ore. Thus far this year the
Snowshoe has shipped about 15,000 tons
of ore, and from now on the rate will be
somewhat increased, and as soon as the
Boundary creek smelters can .handle it,
the rate will be doubled.
Porter Bros., who have been at work
on a stripping contract for the Granby
mines, have at last completed the work
for the winter, and have stored their tools
and paraphernalia. They have uncovered
a large area of ore, and have removed
something over 15,000 cubic yards of material, and have deposited it away firom the
ore body.
GREENWOOD CURLERS
Will Have a Good Rime and Look Forward
To a Good Season's Sport.
Greenwood, Nov. 29.—(Special to The
Daily News.)—T. B. Winnett is erecting
in Greenwood a building 36 feet wide by
152 feet long, inside measurements. This
the local curling club has agreed to rent
for the season, Mr. Winnett undertaking
to provide a good floor of ice, to keep
it in good order and to light the rink.
The club has telegraphed for a second
set of stones and it is anticipated that this
favorite winter sport will be' available
to members in the course of a week or so.
The annual meeting of the club is to be
held on Monday evening, for the election
of officers, etc., and the energetic secretary is sanguine that by that time he will,
with the aid of two or three other enthusiasts, have increased the membership
to at least 50.
MORE CRUISERS WANTED
GERMAN     FLEET     SOCIETY ■   SAYS
WHAT IS WANTED.
NAVY    MUST    BE    INCREASED    TO
PROTECT TRADE.
Berlin, Nov. 29.-The German Fleet society to which emperor William and nearly all the cabinet ministers, naval officers
and others in the government service belong, has sent its several members, through
the society's monthly publication, a statement of the consideration which makes
the building of cruisers for the service
abroad a necessity, especially in Central
and South American waters.
' The communication deals with German
trade relations there, and goes seriously
into the amounts of the present capital
invested and the future possibilities. It
does not contain the least strain of jingoism but concludes with a carefully phrased paragraph saying that "Germans must
make up their minds whether the business already created shall be protected
and extended or permitted to languish.
If the former alternative is accepted the
navy must be increased by sufficient
cruisers to adequately protect trade."
OIL   IN   BOUNDARY.
C. W. Mortimer Will Install Boring Plant
at Once.
Grand Forks, Nov. 29.-(Special to The
Daily News.)—C. White Mortimer, British vice-consul at Los Angeles,•California,
has purchased ten acres, half a mile south
of this city, and will at once install a
drilling plant with the object of boring for
oil.
Mr. Mortimer has made extensive observations here on the accasions of his
several visits, expressing belief that Kettle
river valley is underlaid with oil. He is
extensively interested in California oil
wells.
STORM ON LAKE HURON.
Sailors Declare it the Worst in Many
I Years.
Alpina, Mich., Nov. 29.—The barge Bay
City, captain McDermltt, of Port Huron,
is. fast going to pieces with fifty rods of
the light house in this harbor. The barge's
anchor line parted in the gale and the
furious wind drove the craft into the
harbor and up against a dock where she is
beating to pieces now. The crew have
landed. The storm raging on northern lake
Huron is the worst in many years.       '
FOSTER ON TEMPERANCE.
Toronto, Nov. 29.-Hon. G. E. Foster
delivered an address last night in favor
of temperance. In opening he criticized
somewhat adversely the apt submitted to
the- people, and the latter part of his
speech was ,devoted to an arraignment of
the saloon.
GREATEST RACE ON EARTH
EARY DECLARES THAT THE NORTH
POLE  CAN  BE  FOUND.
BIGGEST   PRIZE   THE   WORLD   HAS
YET TO OFFER.
Washington, Nov. 29.—Lieut. Robert E.
Peary, the Arctic explorer, delivered an
address tonight before the National Geographical society on the subject of Arctic
exploration.
Mr. Peary speaking of future explorations said: "In spite of the amount of
work which has been done in the north
polar regions during the past few years,
the work is not complete. The head of
the Smith sound gateway to the pole is
the contact point from which to close thin
work. It is the point from which the poli
itself can and will be reached.
-"It may seem to indicate over confidence to state boldly that the pole can be
reached. Jhat, yet, is a fact, even though
the struggle for it. has been going on unsuccessfully for years. Each time we
have learned a little more. The man who
has the proper party, the proper equipment, and the proper experience arid can
start fresh from the northern coast of
Grinnel_ land with the earliest returning
light in February will hold within his
grasp the last great geographical prize
that the earth has to offer.
"The- north pole is the biggest prize the
worid has yet to offer. The race for it,
the greatest race on earth."
FIRE AT HALIFAX.
Halifax, Nov. 29.—The Larrigan factory,
of J. S. Henderson, Parisboro, was destroyed by fire_ last night, together with
20,00 pairs of larrigans. Hundreds of men
are thrown out of work. Loss, $40,000,
partly covered by insurance.
THE CABINET
Dennis Murphy Resigns His
Portfolio
West Yale Does Not Approve
of Prior's Policy
Vancouver, Nov. 29.—(Special to
The Daily News.)—The very latest
political surprise is the resignation
of Denis Murphy as provincial secretary vand minister of education, after less than a week's championship of the Prior government
and its policy, Mr. Murphy declares
that his action is dictated by personal and private reasons, but it is
significant that it was taken after
a hurried run through his constituency during which he had ample
opportunity to note the change in
feeling, especially among the railway men, toward him.
Mr. Murphy having accepted office and being sworn in, the writ
being issued in due course, he is
without a seat, while the opposition
cause is greatly- strengthened and
no chance is afforded £he government to take advantage of a disen-
franchisement delay as in the case
of North Victoria.
Stuart Henderson, like Mr. Murphy, an Ashcroft lawyer of the liberal faith, was last evening offered
the portfolio vacated by his townsman, and declined.
The opposition are still pressing
former premier Semlin to accept
their nomination, and meanwhile
other disturbing influences are
working busily within the cabinet
which may precipitate yet more
startling resignations before the
close of another week.
Just prior to his departure for
Ashcroft this afternoon, former
provincial secretary Murphy, in an
interview, declared his determination not to run again in Yale,
while reiterating his refusal to discuss his retirement from the government.
"I am done with politics now and
henceforth," was his remark. "I've
had enough."
He supplemented this information with an expression of belief
that former premier Semlin will
easily carry West Yale should he
consent to run.
It is now reported from Victoria
that the government in its desperation will forthwith postpone the
election in West Yale indefinitely,
opening North -Nanaimo instead
by making Mclnnes provincial secretary, and minister of education.
In Nanaimo it is said that Mclnnes cannot carry his constituency
even with railways for everyone in
his grip, the great majority of his
supporters having transferred their
registration to South Nanaimo district upon removal of their employment and their homes to Ladysmith.
Victoria, Nov. 29.—(Special to
The Daily News.)—It is likely that
Mclnnes will take the provincial
secretaryship, and in that event
his re-election is conceded. The
government contend that the writ
has not yet actually been issued
for West Yale, and that the bye-
election can be postponed.
RETIRES FROM THE CLOBE
EDITOR TO ENTER NEW FIELD  OF
JOURNALISM.
J. W. FLAVELLE WILL SUPPLY NECESSARY  FUNDS.
Toronto, Nov. 29.-J. S. Willison, editor
of the Globe, has resigned his position.
In an interview last night Mr. Willison
explains that the motive of his retirement from the managing editorship of
that paper is to enter the field of independent journalism. His relations with the
directors and staff of the Globe have been,
and are most cordial.    .
In his new project Mr. Willison will be
associated with J. W. Flavellg, one of
Toronto's big capitalists, who will supply
capital for an independent morning paper.
Mr. Flavelle is said to be ready to put
half a million into the paper which will
be absolute independent of all political
parties, and be conducted in no spirit of
hostility to any party. It will be absolutely independent of all business and corporate enterprises nor will it be the organ
of any individual or group of individuals.
MANAGER  MACKENZIE.
A Little Anxious About Coke—Good
Outlook for Winter.
John H. Mackenzie, general manager
of the Le Roi mine and smelter, spent
yesterday in Nelson on a short business
visit, returned home last evening
To a Daily News reporter Mr. Mac-
zenzie said that he had nothing to add
to the statement made by him this week
which has already appeared in these
columns. "My annual report," said the
manager, "is now in the hands of my
directors in England and it will be published early in Decembeirrtjp[itil its ap
pearance I do not care to say anything
further than I-have alread done, or to
discuss the proposed amalgamation with
Le Roi No. 2. Alexander Hill has left for
London and he will make a very full
report to his directors on his return.
Mr. Hill is a mining man of experience.
He was consulting engineer for the
great Rio Tinto mine and also had
charge of the copper company's properties at Keswick, California. I feel sure
that he will make known the exact
present position of the Le Roi No. 2 to
the shareholders just as soon as he gets
to London and the future policy of the
company will turn largely on this report.
"I hope the coke supply will keep up
steadily, if it does we can get on very
well at Northport and will before very
long start another furnace. I am anxious to do this at once as we have over
35,000 tons of ore in the smelter yards
worth half a million dollars that I wish
to turn into cash as quickly as possible.
"Outside of the coke question, which
is causing us some anxiety everything
appears to be working smoothly in Rossland, and I think the camp should have
a prosperous winter."
VENEZUELA'S MANY DEBTS
UNITED STATES   MAY BE   ASKED
FOR GUARANTEE.
SE.LIGMAN'S    VISIT    MERELY    A
FRIENDLY ONE.   .
Washington, Nov. 29.—The appearance
in Washington of I. Seligman, a member
of a New York financial house which
has engaged extensively in international
syndication, taken in connection with
the associated press despatches printed,
today from London relative to Venezuela finances was viewed in official circles here today as indicating the exist-
ance of a syndicate with the purpose of
floating all of Venezuela's many debts
and thus averting the imminent danger
that the country now stands in, of a
seizuer of her custom houses by foreign
powers.
The assumption is that the prospective syndicate wishes to ascertain before closing a bargain with Venezuela
whether or not the United States will
insure the meeting of Venezuela obligations which it would assume in the matter of repayment of the loan.
The United States government, it can
be stated on authority, is extremely
desirous that Venezuela settle her troub-
with Great Britain and other foreign
countries without incurring the seizure
of any Venezuelan custome houses by a
foreign power as a means of ^|||f|l|§|
just debts. This is regarded as the contingency to be avoided if possible because it isjealized that serious friction
might follow between the foreigners and
the Venezuelans, and what in the beginning might be declared to b emerely
a temporary occupation, but would, end
by a claim of permanence of which the
United States must take notice and
which it must contest. Therefore if any
responsible financial body is willing to
pay off Venezuela's foreign claims and
so relieve the country from the danger
of occupation such a move would be
welcomed by the state department.
TRINIDAD'S   GOVERNOR.
Claims British Vessels Have Been Seized
By Venezuela.
Port of Spain, Trinidad Island, Nov. 29.
—Sir Courtney Knolly's acting goyemor
of the Trinidad, believes that Great Britain
and Germany are preparing for joint action against Venezuela. The people of
Trinidad, he says, think it the duty of the
foreign powers to intervene in the matter.
Venezuelan gunboats have recently seized
four British merchant vessels in the Orinoco river and the protest made regarding
the seizures has not been heeded. An
American ship is now here bound for the
Orinoca and is awaiting a decision from
the Washington government as to whether
or not the blockade is effective.
FOUNDEREDJN^ MIDLAKE
CANADIAN  STEAMER  BELIEVED  TO
BE LOST.
THE    BANNOCKBURN WENT   DOWN
WITH ALL ON BOARD.
Sault Ste" Marie, Ont., Nov. 29.-The Canadian steamer Bannockburn, with her
crew of 20 men, is given up for lost by
local marine men.
The belief that the steamer has met
with disaster is strengthened by the fact
that the steamer Rockefeller, which arrived here today, reported passing through
wreckage off Standard Rock. This is supposed to be from the missing boat.
The accepted theory is that the Bannockburn foundered in midlake and went

The Cause of Much Uneasiness to Greenwood Citizens.
Greenwood, Nov. 29—(Special tb.'Thi
Daily News.)—A singular position in regard to the operation of the tax laws of
the province has been developed iri relation to certain parts of the town of Greenwood. Robert Wood, the first owner of
the townsite, obtained a crown grant for
a mineral claim an,d later, a crown grant
for the surface rights. Then he subdivided the land and sold it in town lots to
numerous persoris. These Iot^ are now
part of the town of Greenwood. In accordance with the law relating to the taxation of unworked crown-granted mineral
,claims demand has been made for the
payment of the tax of 25 cents an acre.
As Mr. Wood has now no interest in 'the
property he naturally does not want to
pay this tax and failing payment by some
one or other the mineral claim is liable
to be sold for non-payment of taxes. If
aold" th© purchaser will have the right to
mine on town lots and the owners of these
will have no recourse. In this unusual
state of affairs the Greenwood city council .has passed a resolution which, after
reciting the circumstances, respectfully;
recommends the provincial government to
pass legislation exempting from taxation
under the mineral act crown-granted nflm-
eral claims situate within the corporate
limits of a municipality, to which the surface rights have been granted and which
have been subdivided into lots and a
plan of same registered.
McCULLOUGH CREEK PLACERS.
Revelstoke Company Have Acquired the
Ophir Lease.
J. D. Sibbald, of Revelstoke, who is in
the city on mining business, states that
the prospects of the Big Bend oountry for
the next year are good. Not only is the
lumbering industry booming but there is
a marked revival of placer mining, and besides the companies already operating several new concerns will be going in next
spring. Mr. Sibbald is secretary-treasurer of the Revelstoke and McCullough
Creek Hydraulic Mining company, which
was incorporated this fall with.a capital
stock of $125,000. This company, which -Is
composed of Revelstoke business men, intend working the Ophir placer lease, which
they hold, on McCullough creek.
Owing to litigation, the Ophir, which
holds by lease all the water rights on
McCullough creek, was idle from 1889 till
1898, when it was sold by the supreme court
to an English gentleman who never attempted any practical mining.
All that the present company have done
so far has been to put on two men prospecting at a point immediately above the
old workings. In two days they took out
$126 In coarse gold, and this gold Mr.
Sibbald has with him, forming a most
interesting exhibit. After prospecting the
ground covered by the lease as thoroughly as possible the company were satisfied
that they had got Jiold of a good thing,
and are now making preparations to work
che property on an extensive scale by hy-
Jraulicing the banks as well as turning
ap the gravel of the creek bed. The gold
runs $18.70 to the ounce. ""The. purchase
price paid by the company was $65,000, of
which $58,333 was in fully paid up shares.

mangled beyond recognition-
distressinJ1|enes.
Shamokin, Pa., Nor. 29.—Four men
were killed, three fatally and five seriously injured by an explosion of gas
<n the Luke Fidley colliery today.
Officials are of the opinion •tM|||I§v
explosion was caused by- a miners' carelessly opening a safety lamp, the works
oeing very gaseous the body of gas, once
ignited, swept with a roar up the gangway, carrying death and destruction.
Timbers were torn out, mine cage blown
ipart and brattices destroyed.
Miners working near the scene of the
accident made a rush for the foot of the
shaft and, several were overcome by
the afterdamp following the explosion.
They were rescued by the relief party
ient at once to the gangway.
The faces of the dead men were mangled beyond recognition. Anxious
wives and mothers gathered about the
mouth of the shaft as the dead and injured were brought to the surface and
cheir grief was pitiful.
THE NEW  DEFENDER.
Keel of Yankee Yacht Ready — Upper
Works Started.
Bristol, R. I., Nov. 29.—The lead keel for
the new cup defence yacht was laid bare
In the boatshops here today and was pronounced by the designer to be in perfect
condition as regards form and outline.
The great mass of lead weighs about
100,000 pounds. It was planned at first
not to uncover it until Monday but the
casting cooled sufficiently to allow of the
removal of the clay protection about it.
Preparations are nearly complete for the
actual commencement of work on the upper portion of tfye||y)(c.ht. The nickel-
steel frames are al^ady.'being bent in the
blacksmith shop and the bronze keel islets are complete.
MAD MULLAMr£>:EFIANT.

Aden, Arabia, Nov. 29.—A special despatch from Garrero^Spmaliland, dated
November 26th, announces that the mad
Mullah recently sent into the British camp
the train of supply camels captured from
colonel Swayne's column.
He was caaeful to return all the stores
unfit for use and accompanied his present

whip the British whenever they were
ready to risk a second defeat.
C. P. R. LAND SALES.
An Increase of $85,925 in Prices Has
Been Obtained.
Winnipeg, Nov. 29.—C. P. .R. land sales
for November, 1902, amounted to' 14,668,783
acres for $598,787.99. For November.of 1901,
they were 15,192,289 acres for $512,863.94.
Although the acreage sold was less than
for the corresponding month in 1901 by
523,506 acres the amount obtained was
.585.925.06 more, owing, to the increased
value of the land.
A CRAZY POLITICIAN
Wanted to Blow Up Italian Chamber ot
Deputies.
Rome, Nov. 29.—A former politician named Finelli, having in his possession a
loaded bomb was arrested today in the
neighborhood of the chamber of deputies.
Finelli, on being questioned, said that he
meant to throw the bomb among the deputies. It is believed that the prisoner is
not an anarchist, but is insaae.
A TEHBIFI
EXPLOSION
Thirteen   Lives  Sacrificed
Many Injured
Swift and Company's Plant
Badly Wrecked
Chicago, Nov. 29.-With a deafening report a boiler in Swift & Company's plant
exploded shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning. Thirteen lives were sacrificed
and scores of employees, visitors and
others were injured. Huge boilers were
sent through the roof of the structure
and hurled hundreds of feet. Nobody
within the boiler room survived to tell
the story of the accident and it may never
be known what caused the explosion.
A careful investigation today, however,
convinced the experts that the explosion
was caused by carelessness on the part of
an employee whose own life was sacrificed.    . .s|^f|
Five minutes after the explosion nothing remained of the building but a pile
of twisted iron, bricks and mortar. Sheets
Of flame were springing from the ruins
and the spectators realized that it would
be impossible to save j the lives of those
who were caught in the wreck. The explosion was of such force that adjoining
buildings were wrecked, torn, and twisted
like toys. Men, women and boys who were
working in adjoining departments were
hurled through windows to the ground.
Many of them escaped but with slight
bruises but the most of the victims were
hurt to such an extent that it was necessary to remove them to the hospitals.
Many were taken to their homes. The
list of dead includes Albert M. Bushnell,
the purchasing agent.
A dozen patrol wagons and as many
ambulances were sent from all parts of
the city. Extra calls for fire engines followed and soon the flames were being
fought from every side. While the fire
was still burning, policemen, firemen and
employees of the packing firms began
digging in the ruins.
Many bodies, bruised and mangled,
were taken from the ruins and sent to the
morgues. A boy scalded from head to
foot and bleding from cuts and bruises
staggered toward the office of the general
superintendent, Mr. Young. The boy, who
was Mr. Young's personal messenger, had
been so badly disfigured that Mr. Young
did not recognize him.
Many theories were advanced as to the
responsibility for the disaster! One inspector declared that the explosion had
been caused by cold water injected into
the boiler, but a majority of the investigators held to the opinion that the catastrophe had been caused by low water.
Nothing definite was. learned, however,
and as all the men in the boiler room were
killed, it is not likely the cause of the
accident will ever be known. It is not
thought the loss to Swift & Co. will
amount to more than $50,000, as the building in which the boilers were located was
the only structure to be entirely destroyed.
APPLICATIOiMS REFUSED
THE PAYNE .COMPANY WANTED TO
TAP McGUIGAN.
WATER   COMMISSIONER   AGAINST
THE PROPOSITION.
Kaslo, Nov. 29.—^Special to The
Daily News.)—An interesting case came
before commissioner Chipman this afternoon in which A. C. Garde applying
on behalf of the Payne mine was opposed by the Rambler-Cariboo Company,
represented by Mr. Zwicky and J. C.
Ryan, represented by C. W. McAnn.
The applicant asked leave to tap Mc-
Guigan creek for water for further
power to run the enlarged concentrator
plant on Payne ground.
The application was refused by commissioner Chipman after hearing the
evidence which proved that McGuigan
creek did not contain more than sufficient water for the use of the McGuigan properties, and the commissioner did not think it fair to that
basin to divert any water for outside
use:
J. C. Ryan holds a prior right to three
hundred miners' inches of the creek,
which is still in force.

PRIOR'S PERPLEXITY.
Premier Prior lias struck a pretty
nasty snag thus early in bis leadership
of the government. His cabinet, which
was completed the other day Willi a
flourish of trumpets, has been disorganized by the resignation of Denis Murphy,
after just one week's tenure of the portfolio of provincial secretary.
Murphy adopted the very unwise plan
of accepting a portfolio before consulting his constituents. When he had taken
the fatal step, and bad thereby vacated
his seat in tbe legislature, be visited his
r const it tients to ascertain whether or not
j they approved of his course, and would
j re-elect him.   The result of bis visit Is
(shown in his resignation from the cabinet.
Tbe electors of West Yale whilst desirous of securing cabinet representation
! were not prepared to pay so high a price
for the honor as acceptance of the Prior
]»licy would entail.
What will Prior do now?
Hb can get Mclnnes, perhaps, to accept the job but then little Willie bas
no cinch in bis constituency, and he
may not be prepared to run the risk of
defeat.
It looks as if Prior's premiership will
be short, and not particularly sweet.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
A London despatch says that so sanguine has the widespread Canadian
prosperity made the average Englishman that the general comment in London on the Grand Trunk's new enterprise is that there is plenty of room for
all, especially if it is Intended to open
up new northern districts In the Northwest and British Columbia. It further
says that the company will have no difficulty in raising whatever money Is necessary though some cautions Anglo-Canadians fear least Canada is Inclined towards mortgaging the.future too heavily in the expectation that the present
booming times will become permanent.
It Is not easy to understand what these
overcautious people have in mind but
unless some very unexpected events
happen so far from he present "booming
times" failing to be permanent, tho indications are that they are only beginning, that Canada is but at the very
threshold of a long deferred era of permanent prosperity and well-being. If
the scheme Is so favorably regarded in
London, where perhaps much of the capital required for the venture will be obtained, the only thing that remains to
he obtained Is the legislation granting
the powers required for construction.
Now that the colonial secretary has
.set out for South Africa to see for himself what the conditions are and to endeavor from what ho shall learn to hit
upon means and methods of successfully
dealing with them, it is interesting to
note In what light his visit is regarded
by, the Boers themselves. If What "The
Friend," the Boer organ nt Bloom fon-
says Is to be relied upon, they
meet Mr. Chamberlain more than
journal says: "Speak-
side of tho ex-republicans
right to speak—we
shall work for llie prosperity and liberty
<;f Smith Africa, sincerely believing that
recnminatlbn on either side can only
load to Injury. Our great aim und object will be to weld the two nations peopling this land into one. We want it,
to put it in the words of the lion, secretary for the colonies, to be a happy
abiding place for all to live in—not for
one section for one race or for one political party, but for all," Should this
spirit lie manifested in truth, the way
is already well paved for arriving at a
good understanding that will lead to
a united people, and the healing of all
wounds caused hy the war and the unhappy events that brought it about.
FRUIT INSPECTION.
Ontario Growers are Shipping Inferior
Apples Into Kootenay.
The dominion fruit inspector, Maxwell Smith, has returned from a tour of
inspection of the Slocan district, having
having also covered the Crow's Nest
this week. Mr. Smith reports having
had the same trouble at Fernie and
Michel with Ontario apples that he had
at Nelson. One shipper, out of a lot of
twenty barrels, had only six that were
up to the specifications. Others had
about half iip to the standard and the
others below. Ail barrels and boxes
found containing fruit not of the quality or size demanded by the label on
the outside Mr. Smith stamped "Falsely
Marked." As the law demands that
such fruit must be sold from such boxes
or barrels without concealing or erasing
the marks, the fine for 'each mark erased being $40. He said he was surprised
at the quality of fruit many of the
Ontario growers were sending out, as
he did not believe that it was their best
by any means. In each case where he
had to stamp fruit as above mentioned
he notified the shipper by wire of the
circumstance, and also informed him
that in case of repetition it would involve a prosecution under the clauses of
the Fruit Marks Act. He found a small
quantity of British Columbia fruit that
was not up to the standard along the
Crow's Nest.. Mr. Smith does not deal
with diseased fruit, except as to whether
it has impared the quality of the samples tested, but this part is being closely
looked after by the provincial Inspectors, aud some of the Ontario shippers
will havo a whole pile of trouble on their
hands before tbey get some of their
late shipments straightened out. San
.lose scale and other extremely bad fruit
diseases are reported to have been found
in the shipments received in the Kootenays from Ontario during November.
Mr. Smith had very encouraging views
of the future of fruit growing in the
vicinity of Nelson, and said he had been
surprised to find how many fertile pieces
of land there were along the lake. It
was his belief that in a few years apples would be raised in quantities here
that would be the equal of any grown
in the province. The climate was well
suited for apple culture, and also the
soil. The provisions of the Fruit Marks
Act on which Mr, Smith is laying special stress are these:
Every person who , by himself or
through the agency of another person,
packs fruit in a closed package, intended
for sale shall cause the package to be
marked in a plain and Indelible manner,
before it is taken from the premises
where it is packed;
a) With the Initials of his Christian
names, and his full surname and address;
b) With the name of the variety or
varieties; and
(c) With a designation of the grade
of fruit which shall include one of the
following six marks: For fruit of the
first quality, No. 1 or XXX; for fruit
of the second quality No. 2 or XX; and
for fruit of the third quality, No. 3 or
X; and the said mark may be accompanied by any other designation of
goods provided that designation is not
inconsistent with, or marked more conspicuously than any of the said six
marks which is used on the package.
No person shall sell, or offer, expose
or have in his possession for sale, any
fruit packed in a closed package and
intended for sale, unless such package
is marked as required by the next proceeding section.
No person shall sell, or offer, expose
or have in his possession for sale any
fruit packed in a closed package, upon
which package is marked any designation which represents such fruit as of
No. 1 or XXX, finest, hest or extra good
quality, unless such fruit consist of well-
grown specimens of one variety, sound,
of nearly uniform size, of good color
for the variety, of normal shape ,and not
less than ninety per cent free from
scab,, worm holes, bruises and other de-
fectsM.qnd properly packed.

PRIORI PERPLEXITY.
Premier Prior has struck a pretty
nasty snag thus early in his leadership
of the government. His cabinet, which
was completed the other day with a
flourish of trumpets, has been disorganized by the resignation of Denis Murphy,
after just one week's tenure of the portfolio of provincial secretary.
Murphy adopted the very unwise plan
of accepting a portfolio before consulting his constituents. When he had taken
the fatal step, and had thereby vacated
his seat in the legislature, he visited his
constituents to ascertain whether or not
they approved of his course, and would
re-elect him. The result of his visit is
shown in his resignation from the cabinet.
The electors of West Yale whilst desirous of securing cabinet representation
were not prepared to pay so high a price
for the honor as acceptance of the Prior
policy would entail.
What will Prior do now?
He can get Mclnnes, perhaps, to accept the job but then little Willie has
no cinch in his constituency, and he
may not be prepared to run the risk of
defeat.
It .looks as if Prior's premiership will
be short, and not particularly sweet.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
A London despatch says that so sanguine has the widespread Canadian
prosperity made the average Englishman that the general comment in London on the Grand Trunk's new enterprise is that there is plenty of room for
all, especially if it is intended to open
up new northern districts in the Northwest and British Oolumbia. It further
says that the company will have no difficulty in raising whatever money is necessary though some cautions Anglo-Canadians fear least Canada is inclined towards mortgaging the future too heavily in the expectation that the present
booming times will become permanent.
It is not easy to understand what these
overcautious people have in mind but
unless some very unexpected events
happen so far from he present "booming
times" failing to be permanent, the indications are that they are only beginning, that Canada is but at the very
threshold of a long deferred era of permanent prosperity and well-being. If
the scheme is so favorably regarded in
London, where perhaps much of the cap=
ital required for the venture will be obtained, the only thing that remains to
be'obtained is the legislation granting
the powers required for construction.
■ -'•     --•-■:. **>d
Now that the colonial secretary has
set out for South Africa to see for himself what the conditions are and to endeavor from what he shall learn to nit
upon means and methods of successfully
dealing with them, it is interesting to
note in what light his visit is regarded
I by the Boers themselves.   If what "The
j Friend," the Boer organ at Bloomfoh-
tein, says is to be relied upon, they.
\ will meet Mr. Chamberlain more than
half way. That journal says: "Speaking, from tha side of the ex-republicans
I —as we have every right to speak—we
shall work for the prosperity and liberty
of South Africa, sincerely believing that
reenmination on either side can only
lead to injury. Our great aim and object will be to weld the two nations peopling this land into one. We want it,
to put it in the words of the hon. secretary for the colonies, to be a happy
abiding place for all to live in—not for
one section for one race or for one political party, but for all." Should this
spirit he manifested in truth, the way
is already well paved for arriving at a
good understanding that will lead to
a united people, and the healing of all
wounds caused by' the war and the unhappy events that brought it about.
FRUIT INSPECTION.
Ontario Growers are Shipping Inferior
Apples Into Kootenay.
The dominion fruit inspector, Maxwell Smith, has returned from a tour of
inspection of the Slocan district, having
having also covered the Crow's Nest
this week. Mr. Smith reports having
had the same trouble at Fernie and
Michel with Ontario apples that he had
at Nelson. One shipper, out of a lot of
twenty barrels, had only six that were
up to the specifications. Others had
about half up to the standard and the
others below. All barrels and boxes,
found containing fruit not of the quality or size demanded by the label on
the outside Mr. Smith stamped "Falsely
Marked.". As the law demands that
such fruit must be sold from such boxes
or barrels without concealing or erasing
the marks, the fine for each mark erased being $40. He said he was surprised
at the quality of fruit many of the
Ontario growers were sending out, as
he did not .believe that it was their best
by any means. In each case where he
had to stamp fruit as above mentioned
he notified the shipper by wire of the
circumstance, and also informed him
that in case of repetition it would involve a prosecution under the clauses of
the Fruit Marks Act. He found a small
quantity of British.Columbia fruit that
was not up to the standard along the
Crow's Nest. Mr. Smith does not deal
with diseased fruit, except as to whether
it has impared the quality of the samples tested, but this part is being closely
looked after by the provincial inspectors, and some of the Ontario shippers
will have a whole pile of trouble on their
hands before they get some of their
late shipments straightened out. San
Jose scale and other extremely bad fruit
diseases are reported to have been found
in the shipments received in the Kootenays from Ontario during November.
Mr. Smith had very encouraging views
of the future of fruit growing in the
vicinity of Nelson, and said he had been
surprised to find how many fertile pieces
of land there were along the lake. It
was his belief that in a few years apples would be raised in quantities here
that would be the equal of any grown
in the province. The climate was well-
suited for apple culture, and also the
soil. The provisions of the Fruit Marks
Act on which Mr. Smith is laying special stress are these:
Every person who , by himself or
through the agency of another person,
packs fruit in a closed package, intended
for sale shall cause the package to be
marked in a plain and indelible manner,
before it.is taken from the premises
where it is packed;
a) With the'initials of his Christian
names, and his full surname and address;
b) With the name of the variety or
varieties; and
(c) With a designation of the grade
of fruit which shall include one of the
following six marks: For fruit of the
first quality, ^No. 1 or XXX; for fruit
Of the second quality No. 2 or XX; and
for fruit of the third quality, No. 3 or
X; and the said mark may be accompanied by any other designation of
goods provided that\designation is not
inconsistent with, or marked more conspicuously than any of the said six
marks which is used on the package.
No person shall sell, or offer,
or have in his possession for sale, any
fruit packed in a closed package and
intended for sale, unless such package
is marked as required by the next pre-
qeeding section.
No person shall sell, or offer, expose
or have in his possession for sale any
fruit packed in a closed package, upon
which package is marked any designation which represents such fruit .as of
No. 1 or XXX, finest, best or extra good
quality, unless such fruit consist of well-
grown specimens of one variety, sound,
of nearly uniform size, of good color
for the variety, of normal shape ,and not
less than ninety per cent free from
scab, worm holes, bruises and other defects, and properly' packed.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
New York, Nov. 29.—Arbiters of fashion
of the old school used to consider it the
acme of bad taste to mix the seasons In
dress. The modish woman of today shows
how completely her ideas are at variance
with those of her grandmother by combining: all sorts of materials, no matter
how Incongruous as long as the effect is
pleasing.
Two greater extremes than chiffon and
fur or Jnce and fur can not bo imagined
yet these materials constitute many of
the smartest wraps und gowns of the
season. For instance an afternoon toilette In white beaver shows inlet panels
around the bottom of the skirt of plaited
chiffon draped with lace and secured at
the top with tiny heads of ermine nestled
among half a dozen or so tails. Certainly
the fur-bearing anlmuls are prodigies In
the matter of caudle appendages, If
one Is to Judge by fashions for muffs and
buns and the trimmings supposed to be
mude from n single animal, show anywhere
from two to twenty tails, varying In
length ns many inches.
The bodice of the white beaver gown In
question Is distinguished by almost Puritanical simplicity; but this is gained by
the unpretentotia manner In which the
decoration Is arranged. The front shows
a yoke of chiffon embroidered In silver
leaves and bordered with a narrow band
of Oriental embroidery Introducing pale
blue, coral and golden brown as the color
scheme.
The sleeves, which fit closely to the
olbow, have an undercut! of white sntln
gathered into a grndunted wristband
overlaid with embroidered chiffon nnd
embroidery
Completing the costume Is an immense
Gainsborough hat of white beaver trimmed with sweeping white ostrich plumes
above and beneath the brim.
Black nnd white though much affected
by women of chic are relieved by a touch
of color. This, however, appears only at
the neck or vest, with the suggestion repeated in the cuff. The fashionable woman has n realizing sense of three things
—her station, her own age, and her own
points—and this mny be snld to be the
secret of her success in dress. And it may
be added, to the credit of the American
woman, that though her station be not of
high degree, she Is blessed with an cx-
uqlslte taste and talent for "manipulating"' materials that help her to appear
smart even though her gowns be inexpensive.
The great demand for fur has only served to make It more costly and the novelties introduced almost defy Imitation. Ermine, however, which Is specially popular
for evening wear may be duplicated with
excellent effect by using heavy white
velvet upon which are sewn Imitation
ermine tails. These are sold by the yard
for a nominal sum and are easily embeded
In tho velvet surface.
Squirrel, which is probably the most
popular of tho new furs comes in various
grades, thus obviating to a groat extent,
the necessity for duplication. The most
expensive skins come from Siberia in the
Sncamlna district near the Arctic circle
and are darker and richer in effect than
the Tabolski or Kazan squirrel, though
the latter have a reddish tinge that Is especially attractive.
Gowns developed In rough cloths are constantly growing in favor. SSIbellnes, mm-
ol's hair effects and clievolts find expression in many very chic tailor-made gowns.
A model of Fifth avenue design, though
strikingly Parisian in effect has a seven-
gored skirt with,silk stltchlngs on either
side of each pressed seam, with several
rows of the same stitching at the hem
reaching up one-third the length of the
skirt. The bodice Is a blouse with broad
reveres which are stitched with bands
of silk edged with the thlnest bands of
fur. At the back, where the blouse extends below the waistline In postillion effect, the jointure of the tabs Is concealed
beneath two brilliant cut steel buttons.
The woman to whom expense nnd durability count for something is appealed
to by a gown of cream white cashmere
T/lth white satin blouse In combination
with narrow bands of sable. The most
economical wny of arranging the fur Is
to place a row or two on either side of
tho vest, with a suggestion at tho throat
and wrist.
Less expensive still are the various silk
braids with an edge of fur. These are
hnndsome and enslly within the rench of
the woman of average means. Combined
with stitching, fagotttlng or n garniture
of lace and fancy buttons, they lend nn
nlr of elaboration which is really gained
for a nominal sum.

NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
New York, Nov. 29.—Arbiters of fashion
of the old school used to consider it the
acme of bad taste to mix the seasons in
dress. The modish woman of today shows
how completely her ideas are at variance
with those of her grandmother by combining all sorts of materials, no matter
how incongruous as long as the effect-is
pleasing.
Two greater extremes than chiffon and
fur or lace and fur can not be imagined
yet these materials constitute many of
the smartest wraps and gowns of the
season. For instance an afternoon toilette in white beaver shows inlet panels
around the bottom of the skirt of plaited
chiffon draped with lace and secured at
the top with tiny heads of ermine nestled
among half a dozen or so tails. Certainly
the fur-bearing animals are prodigies in
the matter of caudle appendages, if
one is to judge by fashions for muffs and
boas and the trimmings supposed to be
made from a single animal, show anywhere
from two to twenty tails, varying in
length as many inches.
The bodice of the white beaver gown in
question is distinguished by almost Puritanical simplicity; but this is gained by
the unpretentous manner in which the
decoration is arranged. The front ,shows
a yoke of chiffon embroidered in silver
leaves and bordered with a narrow* band
of Oriental embroidery introducing pale
blue, coral and golden brown as the color
scheme.
The sleeves, which fit closely to the
elbow, have an undercuff of white satin
gathered into a graduated wristband
overlaid with embroidered chiffon and
embroidery
Completing the costume is an immense
Gainsborough hat of white beaver trimmed with sweeping white ostrich plumes
above and beneath the brim.
Black and white though much affected
by women of chic are relieved by a touch
of color. This, however, appears only at
the neck or vest, with the suggestion repeated in the cuff. THe fashionable woman has a realizing sense of three things
—her station, her own age, and her own-
points—and this may be said to be the
secret of her success in dress. And it may
be added, to the credit of the American
woman, that though her station be not of
high degree, she is blessed with an ex-
uqisite taste and talent for "manipulating" materials that help her to appear
smart even though her gowns be inexpensive.
The great demand for fur has only served to make it more costly and the novelties introduced almost defy imitation. Ermine, however, which is specially popular
for evening wear may be duplicated with
excellent effect by using heavy white
velvet upon which are sewn imitation
ermine tails. These are sold by the yard
for a nominal sum and are easily embeded
in the velvet surface.
Squirrel, which is probably the most
popular of the new furs comes in various
grades, thas obviating to a great extent,
the necessity for duplication. The most
expensive skins come from Siberia in the
Sacamina district near the Arctic circle
and are darker and richer in effect than
the Tabolski or Kazan squirrel, though
the latter have a reddish tinge that is especially attractive.
Gowns developed in rough cloths are constantly growing in favor. Zibelines, cam-
el's> hair effects and chevoits find expression in many very chic tailor-made gowns.
A model of Fifth avenue design, though
strikingly Parisian In effect has a seven-
gored skirt with silk stitchings on either
side of each pressed seam, with several
rows of the same stitching at the hem
reaching up one-third the length of the
skirt. The bodice is a blouse with broad
reveres which are stitched with bands
of silk edged with the thinest bands of
fur. At the back, where- the blouse extends below the waistline ih postillion effect, the jointure of the tabs is concealed
beneath two brilliant cut steel buttons.
The woman to wnom expense and durability count for something is appealed
to by va gown of cream white cashmere
Vith white satin blouse in combination
with narrow bands of sable. The most
economical way of arranging the fur is
to place a row or two on either side of
the vest, with a suggestion at the throat
and wrist.
^Less expensive still are the various silk
braids with an edge of fur. These are
handsome and easily within the reach of
the woman of average means. Combined
with stitching, fagottting or a garniture
of lace and fancy buttons, they lend an
air of elaboration which is really gained
for a nominal sum.

serted with, an erect aigrette are among
the latent diesig]ns in hair arnaments,i
while enamelled wreaths and bunches of
the small varieties of blooms enamelled
in natural tints add to the collection of
the season's novelties.
There are several novelties in evening
toques, but the prettiest is a little round
velvet affair trimmed with frosted leaves
and buckles of carved ivory.

the traffic on the main line, especially
between Winnipeg and Fort William, is
enormous.

ELIAS ROGERS HERE.
Managing Directorof Coal Company on
His Way to Visit Mines.
Elias Rogers, of Toronto, managing
director of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal
Company, spent yesterday in Nelson and
left last evening for Fernie to inspect
the company's-mines there. Mr. Rogers
left Toronto about ten days ago and
went-to Victoria via the states, stopping
at several points on his way west. From
Victoria he came to Nelson. After inspecting the mines he will return east
at once.
To a Daily News reporter Mr. Rogers
said that he understood the mine at
Fernie in which the recent accident occurred was just about ready to resume
work and he expected vne output of coke
would be substantially increased and be
steadily maintained from this time on.
There are plenty of coke ovens.available, there being about double the number of ovens set up that are required to
fill all present demands. Mr. Rogers
said that the company had expended a
large sum on capital' account, a million
last years, and a like sum in this present year. One trouble they had to meet
was that the demand from the mines
and smelters was rather irregular and
conditions of mining were altogether
different to those existing in tbe eastern coal fields. He thought the interests of capital and labor were and should
be indentical, but he leared that if constant trouble between thetwo arose in
British Columbia that it would eventually frighten capital out of the country.
He thought all matters had been satisfactorily arranged at, Fernie and that

NOT READY YET.
"D. J. Robertson, the Nelson undertaker,
was in town this week taking a good look
at Sandon. He may be able to bury Nelson, but Sandon has scarcely reached
that stage yet, although the tariff notions
emanating from Nelson would probably
make it a fit subject for a coroner's inquest."
The above from the Paystreak may be
well intended but Nelson is still very much
alive and although R"obertson & Co, have
a new hearse added <to their branch here
we are glad to say that funerals aft not
plentiful and we trust they will not be
any more so by the importation of an up-
to-date vehicle.
