TO BEPBESENT
LAfiOB PABTI
Candidate to Be Nominated
for Nelson
Choice of Standard Bearer
is Deferred
The independent labor party In thla
city will put a candidate In the Held
at Ihe coming provincial elections. This
was decided last night at a meeting of
the party called to consider the advisability of doing so, and the question
was finally decided in the affirmative
after two votes were taken, the final
vote standing 11 to 8.
The first vote showed 15 In favor of
running a candidate and 12 opposed. A
motion to make this decision unanimous
was defeated. Later a motion to reconsider tho question was carried and
the second vote was as stated, the
smaller number of votes caBt being accounted for by the fact that many left
the hall during tbe long and desultory
discussion on various minor points tbat
intervened between the two ballotlngs.
The meeting was held in tho Miners
Union hall, and was called to order at
8.30 o'clock by John Matheson, the
president, who took the chair. Charles
McKay was elected secretary pro tem.,
and at tho request of tho chair read the
platform of the independent labor party,
which Is that adopted by tho party at
Sandon when William Davidson was
nominated for the Slocan riding.
Tho principal planks call for government ownership, the taxation of land
values to the exclusion of the products
of labor, universal franchise, and the
initiative and referendum.
About 30 of the 60 odd present then
formally accepted the platform by signing tbe following pledgo:
"I, whose signature appears below, do
affirm tbat I am not at the present time
a member of either the conservative or
liberal parties, or pledged in any way
thereto, and desire to become a member
of tho independent labor party, and do
hereby subscribe my name to that
party's platform."
Tho secretary then explained the objects of the meeting. It was to decide
whether the party ssiould nominate a
candidate at the coming elections, and
if not, which of tbo two present parties
should be endorsed.
It was moved by the secretary and
seconded by Mr. Phillips that the party
should put a candidate In the field, ln
the discussion that followed widely
diverse opinions were expressed. A. B.
Sloan thought it would be foolish to
run n candidate, as the party was without funds and organization. 0. H. Bell
did not think that the party could consistently endorse either of the other
two parties.
The secretary, Charles McKay, made
the longest speech on the question. Although ho had made the motion for
parliamentary convenience, he was opposed to it. Of tbe 1)00 votes ln Nelson
only 100 were labor votes, and many of
these had been already pledged owing
to the lateness of the Independent labor
party in taking the field. He believed
in making a fight if there was a fighting chance, but he could see none here.
An educational campaign was of questionable advantage. He believed the
best interests of labor would be served
by endorsing either the liberal or the
conservative candidate, of course exacting favorable terms and pledges.
William Ebbs did not address himself
to the motion, but made a strong argument for organization, enthusiasm and
unanimity among labor men. "I have
been told," said Mr. Ebbs, "that two
great corporations are putting up the
campaign funds for the two great parties
In this light. If this is true, and I believe it Is. where do you come in?"
The voting followed. Only those who
liad signed the membership roll were
allowed to vote, and in the result tbe
motion was carried by a majority of
three, 15 voting for and 12 against. A
motion to make the previous vote unanimous was defeated.
Nominations were then called for, and
after a long interval Mr. Ebbs nominated Charles McKay, who, however, refused to allow his name to be considered on the ground that his health would
not permit, and also that be felt there
was no chance of winnrng, and therefore
could not put his heart ln the fight.
No other names were put in nomination, and the president called for a
discussion on the question of raising
funds for carrying on the campaign.
Several subscriptions were offered, but
the speakers continually referred to the
previous question and the discussion he-
came heated and at times peraonal, culminating ln a motion by T. H. Rankin,
ono of the 15 who voted for the original motion, that they should drop the
whole thing and go home. On the
suggestion of the chairman this was
modified to a motion to reconsider the
previous question, and ln this form was
carried.
After further discussion the original
motion was again put and again carried
by the same majority, the vote this
time being 11 to 8.
After this there seemed no prospect
of getting any further, as no one had
any suggestions as to what should be
done next. A motion to adjourn indofl •
nltely was voted down, but a subsequent
motion by Frnnk PhilllpB to adjourn to
meet at the call of the executive committee was carried. The committee was
instructed to get matters In shape so
that business could be proceeded with
promptly, and the campaign Inaugurated
ut tbe next meeting.
in spite of the fact that there was a
division of opinion on the question ot
the advisability of running a candidate,
every speaker announced his intention
of actively supporting by work and financial assistance any candidate the
party should nominate.

A SPOKANE ELOPEMENT.
ROYAL CANADIAN REGATTA
ARGONAUTS TAKE FIRST PLACE IN
SENIOR FOURS.
WINNIPBOS WIN IN FINAL OF THE
JUNIOR FOURS.
[Special to Tbe Dolly News.]
St. Catharines, Ontario, Aug. 7.—The
Royal Canadian regatta was favored
with fine weather today though the
course was somewhat Blow. The regatta was a wonderful success, there
being probably a larger crowd than
ever attended a Canadian regatta before.
The senior fours brought out the Dons,
Wlnnipegs, and the Argonauts. The
Argonauts were a heavy crew selected
from their eight, well boated, and tbe
condition of the water favored them.
The Winnipeg crew rowed an old boat
too weak to carry them properly, and
this was made worse by the condition
of tbe water. The Argonauts took first
place by four lengths.   Time. 7:51.
The first heat of the Junior fours between Detroit, .Ottawa and Winnipeg
was won easily by Winnipeg. Time, 7:59.
The second heat of the junior fours,
between the Argonauts, Toronto, Dons,
was a runaway race for the powerful
Argonaut crew.   Time, 8:08.
The final of the junior fours was the
last race on the program, and as the
first and second crews ot the previous
heats were allowed to compete, there
were four starters, Dons, Argonauts,
Winnipeg and Ottawa. The excitement
ran high between the Winnipegs and
Argonauts, and a good deal of money
was bet. The Winnipeg contingent
were not discouraged at the defeat of
their seniors and accepted everything
that was offered. They won out, with the
Argonauts second by two lengths.
Race summaries: Senior fours, won
by Argonauts, Winnipeg second, Dons
third.
Junior fours, first heat, Winnipeg first
Ottawa second, Detroit third.
Second heat, Argonauts first, Dons
second. Toronto third.
Final heat, Winnipeg first, Argonauts
second.
Pair oars, Detroit first, Argonauts
second.

Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, Aug.
7.—The Shamrocks raced in many kinds
of wind today, running and reaching in
a shifting breeze. Shamrock ill. outsailed her pacemaker by two minutes
and six seconds In sailing 15 miles to
tbe outer mark and in beating back by
four minutes, and nine secods, a total of
six minutes and fifteen seconds, elapsed
time. The starting time was: Shamrock
I., 11:28:45; Shamrock HI, 11:20:28.
Within three minutes the challenger
overtook the old boat and begaa to
leave her astern. The wind was softened, but at noon the old boat caught a
freshening stroke of wind from the
west and smothering her spinnaker and
setlng balloon jib cut down half tbe
challenger's lead before tbe latter felt
It. They ran for half an hour without
spinnakers and then set them again.
The challenger gained slowly. At the
turn she gained a lead of a quarter of
a mile and once close hauled for the
windward threshing a stiffer breeze
began to draw away. Half way back
the yachts were sailing a pretty race
in a ten-knot wind and the challenger
crossed tho lino while the old boat was
more than a mile away.
Summary—Shamrock III. 11:29:28;

The Rev. J. R. Campbell, pastor of the
London City Temple, was with sir
Thomas Lipton on board the Erin today. Proposing a toast to sir Thomas
at luncheon he said, after wishing him
success, and referring to his popularity
In America and England, "An American
statesman told me today, that without
being a politician, sir Thomas was doing
a vast pile of work. That he was helping to foster friendly feeling between
the two great nations. I trust that England and America will never be engaged
in any more serious warfare than that
waged for the possession of a cup."

THE
IN
No Immediate Prospect of
an Outbreak
END OF STRIKE IN ODESSA
RUTHLESS   METHODS OF RUSSIAN
GOVERNOR.
SERIOUS  FOOD RIOTS NARROWLY
AVERTED.
London, Aug. 7.—The Times this
morning prints a dispatch from Kieff,
Russia, dated August 1st, which says
that general Arsenleff, governor of the
district of Odessa, and the mayor of
Odessa, together with a committee of
Influential citizens, have induced the
tramway strikers to resume on the distinct understanding that their grievance will be considered and concessions granted.
General Arsenieff received instructions on July 30th from St. Petersburg
enjoining him to refrain from active Interference with the men, provided they
maintained order and obeyed the police.
In the event that the mob became recalcitrant he was directed to have tiie
troops fire blank cartridges, and then,
if necessary, three rounds of ball cartridges.
The correspondent says the strikers
made no serious attempt to resist the
police and that general Arsenleff's actions in the alleged riots are freely condemned, as unwarrantably precipitated.
He says: "This collision caused a feeling of pain and indignation over the
ruthless methods of Russia's strong man,
Von Plehve, to whose above mentioned
instructions it was due."
The Standard's Odessa correspondent,
under date of August 2nd, says that all
the trades have now resumed work,
that the strike is practically ended, but
that the city will remain under martial
law for at least another ten days. The
strikers did not get all they demanded,
but in most cases, were met with fair
spirited compromises on the part of
the employers. According to the correspondent the local Odessa papers
on the day the dispatch was sent, announced that the governor had issued a
statement to the effect that he had
summarily convicted 71 persons and had
sentenced them to three years' impris- |
onment for disturbing public order. Tbe
names given include many Jews and a
few foreigners. The strike ended just
In time to avert serious food riots, as
the high price of provisions led to popular threats to storm the bakeries and
flour mills. There have heen a few
fatalities, but no serious disorders. It
is stated that while the strikers were
trying to prevent a train starting Saturday night, four of the strike leaders
were run over and killed.

[Special to The Dally News.]

Revolutionists Lack Funds
for Campaign
London, Aug. 7.—Confidential official
reports received at the foreign office
regarding Macedonia have caused the
British government to adopt the view
that the situation is not very serious
for the moment, although sufficiently
so to warrant the taking of precautions.
The Porte is looked to to re-establish
order In Macedonia, and the British officials do not believe that tbe Turks contemplate an attack upon the Bulgarians.
As far as officials representing the
Balkan states are aware, the Macedonian committee does not possess sufficient
funds to inaugurate a successful revolution, but It is hoped by continuing the
existing lines, to ultimately bring about
the interference of the powers which
signed the Berlin treaty.
According to dispatcheB from Vienna
last night the Macedonian central revolutionary committee had flxed August
31st as the date for a general rising and
had appointed Borrls Sarafoff commander of tbe revolutionary forces.
Borrls Sarafoff, whose name has been
prominent in recent uprisings In Macedonia against the Turks, has been
described as the most romantic figure In
the Balkans. He was popularly believed, and stated to be the real Instigator
of the abduction of Miss Ellen M. Stone,
the American missionary, from the Vilayet of Salonica ln September, 1901, ln
order to procure through her ransom
funds to enable the Macedonian revolutionary committee to organize the insurrection in Macedonia.
The London papers print mail letters
descriptive of tho Macedonian situation
dated the latter part of July, which Indicate that the committee was vigorously
preparing for an uprising with the close
of harvest. The members of the committee, according to these advices, have
been vainly hoping tor an outbreak of
war between milgarraltna TurKey, or
some other sensational occurrence, such
as a massacre of Christians, to give
them an opening, but nothing has happened, and although the situation is
critical, It Is just possible tbat tbe committee may still further postpone ther
date of the outbreak.
Meanwhile the Turks are more ready
than ever to strangle any rising at its
birth. The imperial troops, poorly
paid, and poorly fed, exasperated by
the prolongation of the crisis and the
necessity of incessant duty night and
day, owing to the threats of the Turkish population to pillage Bulgarian
houses, and murder their occupants as
revenge for the depredations of roving
Bulgarian bands, are preying on the
peasantry and would Indulge In barbarities upon the slightest pretext.
According to these mall advices, despite the combustible appearance of the
situation, It Is declared that an unanimous insurrection of the Macedonian
people is quite impossible, as the Turks
have the advantage in numbers and
arms over tbe Bulgarian bands, and any
attempt at such an Insurrection would
merely he the signal for the massacre
of innocent peasantry. Tho Times'
Sofia correspondent says that the Bulgarian government 1b determined to
maintain a loyal attitude toward Turkey
by preventing ammunition for the Insurgents from passing across tho Bulgarian frontier to Macedonia.
Constantinople, Aug. 7.—News received here as to the extent of tho Bulgarian revolutionary movements ln the
Vilayet of Monastir is conflicting. In
consular dispatches from Monastir,
which were received this morning, the
opinion is expressed that the insurrection broke out a fortnight earlier than
its chiefs intended, and before the bands
were in readiness presumably, because
the leaders were disconcerted by the
active preventative measures adopted by
the authorities. Tlio Bulgarian inhabitants In a number of villages have lied
to the mountains for refuge. Tho railways have asked that the troops guarding the lines be quadrupled, but this
would entail the employment of 20,000
soldiers, and In view of the impoverished treasury tho governor will find
it impossible to comply with tbe request. In spite of reports to the contrary, it Is confidentially believed in
well informed circles that the Porto In
conformance with its formal declarations will apply regular troops to suppress the Insurrection as it is well
aware how Important It Is for Turkey
to avoid excess, such as certainly would
he the outcome of the employment of
undisciplined Albanians or other irregular soldiers. The diplomats here entertain no doubt that the Porte will continue its present policy of fighting the
bands with regulars. Of the eight batal-
llons of Infantry dispatched to Monastir three will occupy tho heights of
Perlsterl to the westward of Monastir
and one will go to Fiorina, a town of
11,000 Inhabitants. 17 miles southwest
of MonaBtir. The Porte has sent categorical Instructions to the vails of the
Armenian provinces of Asia Minor holding them personally responsible for any
Kurdish cxccbs and ordering vigorous
measures to lie taken to prevent fighting. The British vice-consul nt Bitli
has been ordered to proceed to Musht
80 miles south of Erzeroum, where the
Armenian massacres between Kurds and
Turks occurred in 1894 to investigate
the situation there.

CIRCUS TRAIN TELESCOPED
TWENTY-THREE MEN KILLED AND
TWENTY INJURED.
A    TERRIBLE    DISASTER ON THE
GRAND TRUNK.
Durand, Michigan, Aug. 7.—Wallace
Brothers' circus trains were wrecked In
the Grand Trunk yards here early today
and 23 men, mostly employees of the
circus, were killed outright. Twenty
more were injured, some fatally.
The show was travelling in two sections over the Grand Trunk tracks from ■
Lansing to Lapeer, and the accident, it |
Is said, was caused by failure of the
second section of the train to stop on
time. The second section of the train
crashed Into the front train at full
speed. The engine of the second and
four cars of the first section were completely demolished. Much valuable property was destroyed, and the loss to the
circus people will probably he very
heavy. Some of the victims were railroad people attached to the train. These
include trainmaster J. McCarthy, of the
Grand Trunk. Some of the animals were
killed. The scene after the collision
was appaling. The wreckage was strewn
about and plied high. The shrieks of the
injured and the bellowing of the
frightened animals could be heard above
the hiss of escaping steam and the excited shouts of the rescuers. It was
some hours before the injured were rescued from the wrecked cars. Some of
them were in terribl agony, and it is
thought that more will die.
A wrecking crew was on the scene tn
a very few minutes. All the physicians
and trained nurses in town were sent
for, and those of nearby places were
rushed to the scene on hand cars. The
hotel Richelieu was converted Into an
hospital and scores of volunteers with
stretchers were in readiness. The dead,
many of them so terribly mangled that
identification seemed Impossible, were
laid on grass a short distance from the
scene. By 6 o'clock a corps of 12 physicians was at work. Four of the injured died at the hospital.
When the wrecking crews had finished 17 dead were lying on the grass
waiting removal to the morgue. The
circus performers on the rear of the
moving train all escaped Injury. Wallace Brothers say that their loss will he
very heavy, but havo given no estimate
of it as yet. This Is the second wreck
that the wnllace shows have suffered
within a month.
Engineer Percy, fireman Collier and
head brakeman Benedict, who was also
on the engine of the second, say that If
the brakes had worked there would
have been no collision. Fireman Collier
and brakeman Benedict jumped, but
engineer Percy remained at his post
trying to get the brake to work, until
his train was within less than 100 feet
of train No. 1, then he jumped. He was
shaken, as were the fireman and brake-
man. None of the crews of the trains
were hurt.
General manager McGuigan, of the
Grand Trunk system, was on his way
from Chicago to Montreal, and arrived
on the scene on the passenger train at
7 a. m. He immediately took charge
of the work of clearing the track and
caring for the injured and dead.
The official report of the accident la-
sued this afternoon by superintendent
W. G. Brownlee says:
"The proper danger signals were displayed by the brakeman of the first section, who had been sent back three-
quarters of a mile, with lantern, fusees
and torpedos. The engineer of the second section answered the signals and
claims to have made application of the
air brakes, but found that the train
was not charged with air and was unable to stop, colliding with the rear end
of the first section, demolishing the rear
cars and one coach, in which canvass
men or laborers were asleep, two stock
cars, one containing camels and elephants and the other horses. Trainmaster McCarthy, chief special officer
Large, special officer Foley and foreman of locomotives Hazel! wero reading in the caboose. The first two were
killed outright and the others wero seriously injured. Nineteen circus employees
were killed instantly nnd three were
seriously injured. Two of them havo
since died. Nino more wore seriously
injured and there were numbers badly
scratched and bruised. Engineer Percy
states that the air brako worked all
right at Lansing, whero he took water,
and that ho hnd no occasion to use it
again until ho was flagged west of
Durand, when ho found the train was
not charged with air. The five sleepers
In tho rear of the second section were
found standing about two coach lengths
from the end of the train after the accl'
dent. The draw head in one of the
cars was jammed in, indicating that It
had heen broken apart by the accident
and rebounded when the train stopped,
which Is evidence that the brakes were
not applied."
Tbe dead are: James McCarthy, trainmaster Grand Trunk road between Port
Huron and Battle Creek; A. W, Large,

RICH POPLAR CREEK ORE
BROUGHT DOWN BY W. B. POOLE ON
VIEW AT THE HUME.
WORK TO BE STARTED SHORTLY
ON THE LUCKY JACK.
W. B. Pqple. the well known Lardeau
mining man, who has just completed a
deal for the purchase of the Lucky Jack
group at Poplar creek, arrived in the
city last evening.
Mr. Poole is one of the principal
owners of the Oyster-Criterion and
Ophir-Lade groups, and his visit here
is in connection with the extensive
plants now being put ln at these properties. Mr. Poolo brought with him
a number of remarkablo specimens of
ricii ore which have heen placed on exhibition in the Humo hotel cabinet,
where they are attracting a grout deni
of attention. One lump, which Is slightly
smaller than a man's band, Is fairly
glittering with gold, which sticks out
from it at every corner. Another large
sample tins little knobs of gold protruding which would weigh from half
an ounce to an ounce each. The rock
is a white or red quartz, full of fine
fissures in which the gold lies In
threads. Where these cracks croBS the
gold occurs in nuggets, and altogether
the samples explain a great deal of the
excitement now centering at Poplar
creek.
While very little work has been done
on the claims at Poplar creek, the
owners being too busy prospecting to
learn all they can about the huge treasure beds which arc undoubtedly located
there, this Is soon to be remedied. Work
will be started shortly on the Lucky
Jack with a largo force, and although
no definite arrangements have been
made as yet, a mill locnted on the claim
will be one of the first things to be put
in by Mr. Poolo to handle the ore taken
out in the course of development work.
Deals are talked of In connection with
the Magnusscn claims and two other of
tho richer properties so far discovered,
and if theso go through thoy will also
be developed at once.
Mr. Poulc is thoroughly familiar with
tho district, in which he has always had
tho greatest faith over sinco he first
went In. Ho hns been connected now
with nearly alt the first-class properties
In tho Lardeau that have como to tbe
front in the last year, and has studied
tho country closely.
On the Marquis und Gilbert claim,
where the first big discovery wus made
on Poplar creek, the owners have now
got a shaft down on the lead about 15
feet, and the values In the rock contlnuo
as gootl as ever.
Rumors are now going the rounds
that the Lardeau railway Is to be extended this season from Trout Lako to
Thompson's Landing, although the
foundation on which such rumors rest
is still very slight. Several of tbe contractors who took part in the building
of the lino aro reported to be on their
way up now to look over tbo ground.
The railway at present only runs ns fains Gerrard, connecting with Trout Lake
by a steamer In tho summer, communication being blocked, except by wagon
roqd to Thompson's Landing, during the
winter months.
Camborne and tho various rich mines
In the Lardeau nro as yet nil cut off
from railway facilities and nn immense
lot of unnecessary expense is being incurred In getting supplies and machinery In at present. Poplar crock bolng
south of Gerrard can bo reached from
Nolson by steamer and rail all tho yenr
round, but the other enmpB further
north are closed in by the ice for a greaL
part of the year.

Scene in New South Wales
Assembly
[Special to The Dolly News.]
Vancouver,* Aug. 7.—Advices by the
Aorangl from Sydney, N. S. W., thla
morning, tell of a disgraceful scene In
the colonial assembly, as a result of
which three members have resigned.
The trouble occurred while T. Griffith,
a remarkably peaceful member, waa
speaking on the censure motion.
John Norton had earlier In the evening greeted the attempts of opposition
members to catch the speaker's eye with
cries of, "Get back to your holes, you
rats." Some Interjection by Mr.
Brougbton, In the course of Griffith's
speech, drew from Norton the words,
"He's better than a rat," to which
Broughton promptly replied, "Yes, and
better than a social leper," after a pause
adding, "You're a social leper."
Members were Instantly on their feet,
when Broughton, looking   directly at
Norton, said, "You're a cur."
In tbe disorder that followed Norton,
almost unnoticed, crossed the floor of
the chnmber nnd struck Broughton several limes in the face with his fists. The
attack, which was Joined In by two other
members, caused great excitement and
Norton was immediately dragged away
by members and "named" by the
speaker.
Premier air John See, In moving to
suspend him for the remainder of the
sitting, hoped that such an Incident
would never occur again.
Mr. Carruthers said that the incident should help to put a stop to that
language, to which they were becoming
accustomed, and Mr. Mcdowan, leader
of the labor party, followed tn a similar strain. The motion was agreed to
and Broughton waa then adjudged
guilty ot contempt. An apology from
him was not accepted. The Incident
closed by Griffith, who had the floor,
concluding his speech with the dramatic
announcement that as soon as the debate was over he intended to place his
resignation in the hands of the speaker.
He had, he said, witnessed scenes ln
the houBe that would disgrace any back
country municipal council.

LAURIER AND ONTARIO.
The redistribution of seats In Ontario
Is not pleasing to the conservative press
of that province. Certain papers wilfully ignoring tho fact that a shameless
gerrymander was perpetrated ln Ontario
by the conservative government in order
to "hive the grits" now resent very bitterly the attempt being made by a liberal government to undo that wrong.
Fair arguments with which to oppose
the bill now before parliament not
being available, resort is bad to appeal
to racial animosities. One conservative
paper seolts to prove that sir Wilfrid
Laurier has always been animated by
hostility to Ontario. In support of that
baseless assertion it charges that when
the provincial boundary question was
up for discussion, "bo protested against
the settlement by law. Instead of by
compromise, on the ground that a legal
decision would give the province more
territory than his own narrow view
led him to believe wo ought to Jiave."
In tbe light of historical facts the
accusation is absurd, and independent
newspapers like the Toronto News
frankly point out that the opposition to
the ratification of the boundary award
came mainly from the Bleus of Quebec.
Sir John Macdonald willingly or unwillingly, surrendered to their demand, and,
aB we know, threatened that not one
acre of land, one stick of timber, or
one lump of mineral in the disputed
territory should ever belong to that
province. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was bitterly attacekd In Quebec because he
stood for the ratification of tho award.
He wns denounced by the Bleus as a
traitor to his race and his province. So
strong a feeling against ratification was
roused In tho French province that
many French liberals deserted Mackenzie, and Blake and Laurier ,and voted
with sir John Macdonald and tbe Bleu
contingent. But sir Wilfrid Laurier
stood firmly by Ontario. In one of his
speeches he said: "If you deny Ontario
the boundary she claims, she may deny
Quebec her northern boundary, and
those sectional cries, which at one time
were thought to be forever destroyed,
would be renewed. The question having
been settled, ought to remain settled.
Thero Is no occasion to open It anew.
I do not fear the appeal tbat will be
made against me in my own province on
the vote I Intend giving. I have no
hesitation in saying this award Is binding on both parties, and ought to be
carried out ln good faith. The consideration tbat the great province of Ontario will be made greater, I altogether
lay aside as unfair, unfriendly and unjust."
It will be hard to convict sir Wilfrid
Laurier of hostility to Ontario upon
this, or, Indeed, upon auy other question. The charge of racial bigotry or
of dislike for the English provinces
does not lie against the prime minister.
In his long war against tbe Ultramon-
tanes, in his attitudo on the Ontario
boundary, in tho battle against the
coercion of Manitoba, in the adoption of
the British preference, ln the dispatch
of contingents to South Africa, he has
voiced British rather than French-
Canadian feeling. Only in his attitude
toward tho two Rlel rebellions has he
represented the dominant sentiment of
his province, and no one now denies
that the hnlf-brecds had substantial
grievances. These grievances probably
did not justify armed revolt, but they
were hardly less serious than the causes
which provoked tbe abortive rebellion
of 1837 ln Upper Canada. It Is significant that sir Wilfrid Laurier is persistently attacked by his political opponents ln Quebec on the scoro of ex-
cosslve consideration for the English
provinces and neglect of the interests
of his French compatriots.

marks a new development of Canadian
policy toward railway enterprises.
Tbat tbe government baa safeguarded
tbe country's interests in every particular where attack might be anticipated
Is abundantly manifest. The security
for the bond guarantee is to be found
in mortgages which may be foreclosed
by the government In case of default.
The company, in consenting to government control of rates has placed a tremendously powerful weapon in the
hands of the administration—a weapon
which can for all time be used to protect the people against extortion by this
company or by Hb rivals. The running
Powers over tbe line reserved to other
companies mean, for one thing, that the
country will bo protected against the
demands of these companies for subventions to new roads. The O. T. P. is
bound to provide shipping accommodation at Canadian Atlantic and Pacific
ports. It accepts the proposition of the
government that the aid extended to it
is given for the purpose of encouraging
the development of Canadian trade,
and the transportation of goods through
Canadian channels, and It binds itself
to loyally live up to these conditions. It
agrees to purchase all material possible
in Canada, and to deposit five millions
of dollars with the government as guarantee for the carrying out of its pledges.
Heretofore tne railway promoter has
gone to parliament with demands, too
often granted, which meant that tbe
country, or the country and the bondholders should build the proposed road.
All that the government has attained in
the past under the policy followed has
been the opening up and development
of the country. The G. T. P. proposes to
open a new territory to settlement, and
to give Canada a new national highway.
It might not unreasonably ask that the
policy followed toward less Important
enterprises he pursued in its case. But
instead of doing so, the government
strikes out on new lines, bolder, more
patriotic, more businesslike. It says to
the company, "Yes, we will assist your
very worthy enterprise. We will build
part of the road, and Instead of giving
it to you as our predecessors gave $35,-
000,000 ot government built road to tbe
C. P. R., we will retain it ourselves. We
will not give you an acre of land. We
will not exempt you from a dollar of
taxation. We will make you pay interest on the cost of the road we propose to
lease to you. We will retain absolute
control of your charegs of freight carriage. We will compel you to give running powers over your whole line to
any company we designate. We will
Insist that you carry your freight to
Canadian ports, and there furnish shipping to carry it across tbe ocean. We
will take mortgages on your road and
rolling stock as security for the fulfillment of your obligations. We will insist that you deposit with us five millions of dollars as earnest of your good
faith. And If you agree to do all these
things we will guarantee your bonds to
a sum equal to three-quarters of the
money you invest—a guarantee which
we are convinced will Impose no liability on us—and we will give you a
bonus which wo estimate will approximate thirteen millions of dollars, or
rather less than the surplus of dominion
revenuo over expenditure last year."
Here we have a new national policy
ln truth, A policy in Its very essence
Canadian, that makes for Canadian
solidarity. Canadian development,
Canadian commercial independence,
Canadian nationality. A policy that, in
the large, must commend Itself to the '
Canadian people, for It proposes to ac-

EDITORIAL NOTES.
Senator Macdonald has achieved fresh
notoriety. This thoroughly typical Victoria tory some time ago laid it down
as good conservative doctrine that Chinese were needed in British Columbia
to keep organized white labor In subjection. He made this declaration of
principle on the floor of the senate, in
support of his leader, sir Mackenzie
Howell's attack upon the bill to raise
the per capita tax upon Chinese from
$100 to $500. The senator has now gone
on record as being opposed to the construction of a new transcontinental railway, notwithstanding the fact that British Columbia stands to gain enormously
by its construction without having to
contribute a dollar in cash or an acre in
land to the cost. He has given notice
of a resolution condemning the scheme
in which the following passages occur:
"That this house should object in the
most unqualified manner to railways
being constructed and operated by governments. . . That the necessity
does not exlBt for the government proceeding with the proposed railway."
Here we have a representative and influential British Columbia conservative
giving away his party's real attitude
on the question of government ownership of railways. Senator Macdonald

NOT PRINTING BALLOTS.
Ottawa, Aug. 7.—An official of tho
government printing bureau says, in regard to the rumor that the bureau has
been engaged on a rush order for ballot
papers and voters' lists to prepare for an
election this fall, that no ballots have
been printed, and the staff has had so
much other work to do that the law has
not been observed as regards the printing of voters' lists. The Franchise act requires that lists be kept printed every

VERY REMARKABLE CURE OF
DIARRHOEA.
"About six years ago for the first time
In my life I had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I got temporary
relief, but It came back ogain and again,
and for six long years I have suffered
more mlBery and agony than I can toll. It
waa worse than death. My husband spent
hundreds of dollars for physicians' prescriptions and treatment without avail.
Finally we moved to Bosque county, our
present home, and one day I happened to
see an advertisement of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with
a testimonial of a man who had been cured by it. Tho case was so similar to my
own that I concluded to try the remedy.
The result was wonderful. I could hardly
realize that I was well again, or believe It
could be so artcr having suffered so long,
but thnt one bottle of medicine, costing
but a few cents, cured me." For salo by
all Druggists and Dealers.

NELSON'S NEWS OF THE DAY
Register your vote.
J. B. Anderson, deputy minister or
agriculture, arrived in the city last
evening from Victoria.
The Presbyterian picnic, whicli was
postponed owing to bad weather, will
be held on Saturday, August 15th, to
Kokanee park.
The retail dealers of the city have
agreed to close this afternoon from 3 till
6, so that their clerks may be able to
attend the lacrosse match.
Special services will be held at the
church of Mary Immaculate on Sunday
in honor of the coronation of pope Pius
X. Rev. father Caldi, of Spokane, will
preach at both morning and evening
services,
James Cronin, manager of the St.
Eugene mine, at Moyle, passed through
the city yesterday on his way to Rossland, but did not Btop off, transferring
from the boat to tho train. Mrs. Cronin
and children arc registered at tho Hume
awaiting Mr. Cronln's roturn.
At the Queen mine, near Salmo, work
Is proceeding steadily, and the property
is rapidly being got into shape to be a
steady and large shipper. William
Waldie is in charge of the small force
of men who have been employed there
for some months past, and which is
being added to as occasion warrants.
The lacrosse match this afternoon,
liberals vs. conservatives, will doubtless
attract a large attendance. The teams
are to be captained by two aspirants for
political honors and a third is to act as
referee. S. S. Taylor will captain the
liberal team, John Houston, the conservatives, whilst R. S. Lennie will be the
referee. Mayor Rose will face off the
bail at 3 o'clock sharp. The city band
is to be in attendance.
A meeting of tbe directors of the agricultural society was held last evening
to receive tenders for the erection of the
main building for tbe fair. That of W.
G. Gillett, being the lowest, was accepted, and the contract was awarded.
Work will be commenced on the building Immediately. H. Wright, J. Dover
and J. J. Malone were appointed a committee of three to see if arrangements
could be made to have tbe Labor Day
celebration of the Miners' Union held
here during the fair, in which event a
purse ot |500 tor a drilling contest will
be provided by the committee.
The Two Friends group at the head of
Lemon creek Is being rapidly developed
by a force of men under J. Moffatt, of
Nelson.   All around the headwaterB of
Lemon creek there is more   activity
noticeable than has been the case for
years.   Although the district is connected with the landing at Six-Mile creek,
six miles east of Nelson, all the business goes to or by Slocan City, as the
trail to Slocan is open, while the wagon
road leading to Nelson is blocked by
a slide that came down three years ago.
There was some talk early in the season
of the government opening up the wagon
road again, but the season in the bills
Js rapidly drawing to a close, and nothing has been done.   With tbe revival of
the lead Industry a lot of business will
go to Spokane that should come to Nelson from this camp owing to the condition of tbe road.
er your vote.
T. G. Procter brought in a string of
ten handsome trout from the narrows
yesterday morning, and other fishermen
who were out along the lake with the
early bird were also well rewarded for
their efforts.
Patenamle Bros, have had specially
manufactured for their trade a number
of very prettily designed pewter mugs,
bearing embossed views of the city. For
a souvenir of Nelson one of these mugs
would be hard to beat.
H. S. Rich, of Red Wing, Minn., and
W. W. Rich, of St. Paul, Minn., arrived
in the city last evening and are stopping at the Hume. Both gentlemen are
largely interested in the Cherry Creek
Gold Mining company, and are now on
their way to pay a visit to the property.
A meeting of Falrview liberals will be
held in the Baptist mission hall, Hume
addition, this evening at 8 o'clock, to
appoint delegates to the convention on
Thursday, August 13th, to select a candidate to contest the Ymir electoral district In the liberal Interests. All resident liberals are requested to attend.
A lodge of the Order of Railway Conductors for the Kootenay district Is to
be established in Nelson shortly. Most
of the railway conductors In this section belong to lodges located at main
line points and they feel the need of a
local branch of their organization. The
new lodge will start out with a good
membership.
The Virden, Manitoba, lacrosse team
are arranging for a tour through to the
coast, commencing next week. Among
the teams that they wish to arrange
games with Is Nelson, and it is very
likely that their challenge will he accepted. The exact date on which they
will arrive in the Kootenays is not yet
settled, but definite information will be
received within a few days.
The steamer Kokanee took up a large
number of prospectors and Investors
bound for the Poplar creek goldfields
yesterday afternoon. There was also a
considerable quantity of machinery sent
up for use at the various concentrators
and tramways now ln course of erection
in the Trout Lake district Nelson fs
now commencing to obtain a good share
of the trade of both districts, but there
is still room for much improvement.
The local company of Rocky Mountain
Rangers turned out for drill last evening, preparatory to the annual inspection by the officer commanding the district, which will take place In about a
fortnight. The company is in good
shape, although there Is still room for
a few more. The splendid quarters
provided at the new armory have added
greatly to the interest taken in the organization In the city, as the men have
now a good, well lighted hall for drilling in.
News has been received in the city
of the drowning of A. J. Widmaier and
Bon in Alaska. The news first appeared
in a paper published in Valdez and the
accident is stated to have occurred
through the accidental overturning of
a canoe on July 7th. Mr. Widmaier was
formerly proprietor of the Kootenay
Candy Factory, at the corner of Hendryx
and Baker streets. The son, who was
a boy of about seven years, lived with
him. He owned some property in Nelson and had resided here for some years
before leaving for the north last spring.
F. B. Weir, who was one of the Nelson riflemen who took part in the annual shoot of the British Columbia
Rifle Association held at Victoria on
July 21st, 22nd and 23rd, has returned.
He says that beside the three representatives from Nelson, D. Mackenzie, D.
McKay and himself, there were two men
from Trail and one from Rossland. The
meet was a most successful one and it is
hoped that it will lead to the formation
of an Interior association. There are
now rifle clubs at all tbe principal
towns of the interior, and if an association was formed taking them all in it
would lead to a great deal more Interest being taken in the Bport than is the
case at present.
Dr. Armstrong returned last evening
from Rock mountain, near Osoyoos,
where he has been investigating an outbreak of glanders among the horses belonging to the ranchers in that vicinity.
The infected district lies near the
boundary line, adjoining what was formerly known as the town of Nelson,
Washington. The coast paperB In
mentioning the outbreak have credited
it to Nelson, B. C, apparently being
under the impression thnt Nelson is in
the Boundary district. Dr. Armstrong
states that the disease is now well In
hand, and that no further trouble is expected there. It was found necessary to
destroy seven horses, not one hundred
and seven, as given ln some of the coast
papers.
Thomas Hyland, aged fifty-two years
and seven monthB, died yestorday morning at tho Kootenay Lake general hospital, from heart disease and dropsy.
The deceased, who was very well known
In Nelson and the Kootenays generally,
had been 111 for the past four monthB,
and had been an inmate of the hospital
