What It Will Cost Upton to
Win the Cup
He Favors Use of Sea-Going
Schooners in Future
New York, July 7.-A Sandy Hook calm
familiar to cup racers prevented more than
a brief trial of the two Shamrocks today,
but one hour's windward work In a very
light wind afforded tho new cup hunter an
opportunity to demonstate again her wonderful drifting qualities. Pointing higher
and footing faster, the new boat worked
out to windward of the old one and 45
minutes after tho start was an eighth of a
mile to windward of her. Then the wind
died away and the trial was abandoned.
A special to the World from Washington
Bays: At the recent luncheon In the
White House In honor of sir ThomaB Lip-
ton, interesting statements were made concerning the cost of challenging for and defending the America's cup. Sir Thomas
caused much surprise when he said that
if he should win the cup this time it would
represent an Investment of considerably
more than 12,000,000. If he again failed to
win it, he said, ho had still more millions
to spend on tho effort to lift It.
Sir Thomas said that It would cost him
a little more than 11,000,000 to compete for
' tho cup this year. This was partly due
he explained, to the fact that he had
brought over his two challengers and had
hod both of them In commission for
months. Bach yacht had a crew of sixty
men, the best to be had, and tho cose
of keeping them In commission a month
repesents a small fortune.
Sir Thomas did not say what Shamrock
III. cost him to build but Intimated that it
was cIobc to $500,000. To the cost of the new
yacht must be added the cost of keeping
the other in commission and the expense
of the Erin, In which her owner entertains
In lavish style. The combined expenses
of his trial for the cup this year, sir
Thomas said, would reach $1,000,000 and
probably moro. His two previous attempts
to get the cup cost him a little more than
that figure. In contrast with the cost of
tho challenger, it wns stated by one of the
members of the party that the Reliance
syndicate had Invested but $300,000 ln the
defender and that this amount was expected to cover all expenses.
Following the question of tho cost there
was on itifqt-nial discussion as to tho advisability of adopting sea-going schooners
In future cup races. Sir Thomas strongly
favors this Idea, although he hns said that
he will abide by the decision of tho New
York Yacht club. It wns a sea-going
schooner which brought the cup to this
country.
The British ehnnged the stylo of tho contest In an effort to regnln the cup, by sending over a cutter to compete for it. Thnt
style of yacht was new on this side of the
water and It was met with a sloop from
which the present ninety-footers have been
evolved. They are built for wind nnd not
for weather, nnd Reliance nnd Shamrock
III, ore believed to represent the very
highest degree of perfection In that direction. Llttte change, It Is snld, could be
mado In building yachts along these lines
for future cup races.
More than that, the yachts aro so expensive that only millionaires can build
them and their value Is gone when the
last race of the series Is sailed. Everything
Is sacrificed to speed nnd they cannot even
bo rebuilt so that they can be used for
cruising. Therefore, win or lose, sir Thomas
LIpton considers that the time Is ripe for
the adoption of schooners which can brave
nny sea and can cross the ocean under
their own sail, Instead of having to bo
towed across.
With the Introduction of schooners It
Is thought many wealthy people would
build boats to compete for the honor or
defending or challenging for the cup, as
they could be subsequently used for ocean
cruising. The races would then become
more a test of seamanship than they are
now, and air Thomas believes the Interest
In the contests would be greatly stimulated.
The distance could be increased and the
races could be sailed In any kind ot
weather, for the rougher the weather the
keener would bo the sport.
THE LEAD BOUNTY.
Public Opinion Is Unanimous That Mining
and Business Generally Will Benefit.
NatifrnJly the dominion government's
lead bounty of $15 a ton for the next five
years with a maximum bonus of $500,000
In any one year, as announced In these
columns yesterday morning, has been the
chief topic of conversation about the city
for the past tweny-four hours, as everyone
Is directly or Indirectly Interested in tho
matter.
A canvas of local mining and smelting
men showed an unanimous approval of
the action taken by tho federal government, while business men and others unite
In the opinion that the result of the bounty
will be greatly stimulating to business of
all sorts and cannot fall to benefit the
community at large.
Some of the points brought out in Interviewing Nelson residents showed that
the general opinion was that before acting the authorities had posted themselves
very thoroughly on the various aspects of
tho lead Industry and while dealing generously by the producers, havo placed effective safeguards and conditions about tho
bonus so as to Insure tho very best return from It to the mining Industry and
the community it so largely supports.
When the bonus Idea was first mooted
It was strongly urged here that It would
not result in new capital coming into the
district, or In the older properties being
placed in a position to obtain funds for further mining and development, as there
would be no certainty as to how long the
bonus would be granted for. The statement that the bounty will be paid for tho
next five years has turned those who first
opposed the policy, around, and now they
are quick to admit that their strongest
objection has disappeared under the terms
announced.
Mining men say that while some properties may be able to open up at once, the
owners of others will first have to make
new financial arrangements before starting, but now that a definite arrangement
has been announced, they will be able to
accomplish this where It was Impossible
to do ho before the terms of the bounty
were known.
As one mining man put It, "Those of us
that have the stuff will now be able either
to get to work at once or to make arrangements to do so."
It will take a little time in many Instances as there are few Idle miners in the
country at the present time and tabor every
where throughout the district will be ln
extra demand.
It Is generally conceded that the details
of tho arrangement wjll work out smoothly
and no clash between the mining, smelting
and transportation Interests Is looked for.
It Is stated that a meeting of the lead mining association will be held very shortly
cither In this city or at Sandon and a circular will be Issued to all engaged ln the
silver-lead Industry In this section of the
Kootenays dealing with the bounty question.
While some of the low grade properties
may not open up—at all events at present
—there can be no doubt ns to tho general
good offect of the bounty primarily on all
silver-lend properties, and incidentally, to
the business Interests of this community
at large. The result will be to bring
about mnny long pending mining deals and
to grcntly steady and stimulate the local
financial situation.
The figures announced of 75 cents per
hundred pounds or $15 per.ton, with a maximum of $500,000 in any one year mean that
In round numbers It will take 33,000 tons
to exhaust the bounty in nny one year,
or more than has ever yet boen produced
in British Columbia In the best year on
record, nnd supposing the price of London
load to remain stationary at 111, It will
mean a price of £14 to the producer and
this according to his own statement should
be satisfactory to the mannger of the St.
Eugene, the largest lead mine in the province.
A NEW NATIONAL HIGHWAY
ROAD AND   ROLLTNO STOCK    WILL
COST  $125,000,000.
GOVERNMENT RETAINS  THB FULLEST MEASURE OF CONTROL.
Further particulars aro now to hand of
the dominion government's plans for the
construction of tho Grand Trunk Pacific
railway:
Tho cost of tho transontlnental line will
It Is estimated, be about $100,000,000. Of
this sum the section to be built by the
government will involve an outlay of about
1)5,000,000. The expenditure upon construction by the Grand Trunk will be about
$55,000,000, and ln addition about $25,000,000
will be required for equipment and terminals. The total cost Is therefore likely
to approximato $125,000,000.
Tho cost of the transcontinental line will
lng the prairie section will bo at least
$30,000 a mile. In the mountain section it
will approach $50,000 a mile. The roadbed
and equipment will be of the most substantial, with 80-pound steel rails, massive
bridges, and embankments and stone culverts. The company have spent probably
$00,000 up to date In making surveys, and
will be In possession by the end of August most likely of detailed Information as
to the character of the country between
Winnipeg and North Bay. The company
understand that the trunk line will run
direct to Winnipeg, and not north of lake
Winnipeg, with a branch to the city as
has been suggested.
Tho country secures another transcontinental line without a dollar of outlay
In the form of cash or Ian dusbsldles. The
dominant feature of the policy of state
ownership of a line from Winnipeg to
Quebec and the maritime provinces Is that
the government will retain to themselves
tho amplest power for all time to extend
to all railways the right to use this railway, nnd on terms to be fixed by the government or the railway commission or
other governmental machinery. While
therefore It is proposed to arrange with
tho Grand Trunk to take the lease of the
government line to the extent of doing the
local traffic and Its own through traffic and
maintaining the railway, still tho rights
and powers to bo granted under the lease
will be subject to the paramount power of
the government at all times to maintain
the character of the railway as a national
highway open to all railways.
The numerous advantages of the proposed arrangement are obvious. Tho early
construction of the undertaking Is assured.
The control Is given of Canadian traffic by
an alt-Canadian route from ocean to ocean
and Canadian maritime ports will bo built
up. Canada wilt be freed from any dependence on the United States for bonding privileges, and will be rendered commercially Independent of that country.
Frolght rates will be cheapened between
the new districts of Canada and the old.
Tho vnrious provinces may be expected
to make railway connections with the
main trunk line by branch lines from St.
John, MJontrenl, Osttawa, Toronto, and
Lake Superior points, thus serving all
parts of tho older districts of Canada, and
affording the widest facilities to eastern
merchants and manufacturers to ship to
Manitoba and points westerly. The now
west will be brought Into close union commercially and sentimentally with the cast.
Tho government line will also serve as a
great colonization road through new Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Furthermore, It will develop the great agricultural, forest and mineral resources of the
country to be traversed.

Stamp Mills the Chief Requisite at Poplar Creek
KASLO, July 7.—(Special to The Daily News.)—M. Kerlin who has been so fortunate in locating
good mining claims on Poplar creek arrived here this morning for a supply of provisions. Mr. Kerlin is
very much elated over his good luck and shows some specimens of very rich appearing quartz from his
ground one hundred yards from the railway. Ho is having somme assays mado and will immediately return
to the ereek to open up the ore bodies.
He says: "We have found some of the best mining ground that I have met with in my experience in
actual mine work and operating of over thirty years and you can rest assured that given a limited amount
of capital, it won't take much, and a few stamps that the Poplar, Tenderfoot and Cascade camps are going to
bo wealth producers far beyond the anticipation of the most sanguine.
"The trouble heretofore with those who havo been working in the district has not been the want of rich
ore but because they did not understand tho character of the oro met with. The silver and gold are both
present in incredible values and the beauty of it is that all the values can bo saved with stamp mills. The ore
is freo'milling and of a character very similar to that of the famous Drum Lummon. The assays on our ore
reported already are correct and I am testing the whole lead with hope of being able to begin shipping very
soon, as it is my opinion that all the lead will stand shipping and smelting charges with a good profit, but
what we want is stamp mills. Nearly all those who have gone in lately are building camps and preparing
for active operations.
"Dan Cosgrove made a strike on a parallel lead to ours that shows gold to nearly every pan of crushed
quartx, and two Swedes have three claims beyond Cosgrove from which they are taking ore from a voin
twelve inches wide that runs two thousand ounces in native silver and from which they pan gold. The ladies
have good claims and aro a great acquisition to Poplar creek camp."
A number of men, among them P. Kelly, left here today on the steamer Hercules with supplies to begin
active work.    Trains are to be running on the Lardo branch Saturday next.
Liberal Caucus Approves the Lead Bounty
OTTAWA, July 1.—(Special to The Daily News.)—There was a largely attended caucus of the liberal
party at Ottawa today at which Mr. Archie Campbell presided. It was generally understood that the Grand
Trunk Pacific project would come up for consideration, but as tho premier had an engagement and was not
able to wait to have it discussed it was left over until Thursday next.
The proposition to give a $15 per ton bounty on lead went through without any opposition.
A grant of $15,000 was also agreed to in response to the application of Canadian newspapers for a
bettor cable service. The applicants will be required to put up a similar amount before the $15,000 is available, as Fielding told delegation he would put up dollar for dollar with them to the extent of $15,000.
The proposition to grant $500,000 to tho shareholders of tho Chignecto ship railway was discussed
and there was very strong opposition to it. The matter was not finally disposed of. The discussion was favorable to the granting of somo assistance to the iron and steel industry and will bo given on lines already
expressed in this correspondence.
Senator Templcman said yesterday that in giving a bounty of $500,000 per year for five years,
$2,500,000 in all, to aid the lead mining and smelting industry of British Columbia, the present act giving a bounty for refining of lead would be repealed. The bounty for refining last year was $5 per ton.
This year it will be $4, decreasing thereafter one dollar per year.
The refinery at Trail generously waived its claim to the bounty in order that tho bounty of $15 could
be secured for mining and smelting, being ready to take its chances of securing all the bullion it could refino
after the industry of mining and smelting was again established on a permanent  basis.   The   proposed |
bounty should place the lend-ind-natry on prosperous footing during tl\e j»»««ent"7tmi mill Will make good ;
times in Kootenny for n good many years to come.
FIRED IN  SELF DEFENSE
EXPLANATION OF THB SHOOTING AT
EVANSVILLB.
SIX  DEAD  AND  TWENTY-FIVE ARE
SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Cincinnati, Ohio, July 7.—A despatch
from Evansville, Ind., says:
Captain Blum, of company "E," mado
the following statement of the shooting:
"The mob crowding up at the corner of
Fourth and Division streets forced the
guards back to the jail gate and would not
bo beaten back. A man in the lead fired
a shot which struck a soldier. Then the
firing became general from the mob and
tho soldiers fired In return. Orders to
cease firing were given the soldiers almost
at once, ns tho crowd turned In flight. No
order to fire was given by myself or an
officer, It was done spontaneously and In
self defense. The mob had been repeatedly
begged to go back. Boulders and bricks
were thrown long before the firing commenced and one soldier was knocked un-
conslcous. The men were given orders to
fire only In self defense Officers and soldiers greatly deplore the shooting but they
feel they acted only in the line of their
duty."
Six shot dead and twenty-five Injured,
four fatally, is the outcome of the race
riots that have caused a reign of terror In
this city during the past four days. At
10.30 last night the Evansvllte company of
national guards, assisted by 200 special
deputy sheriffs sworn In during the day,
while guarding the county jail ln which
were sixteen negro prisoners, poured a
deadly volley of buckshot and bullets into
a crowd of several thousand peoplo led by
a hundred armed rioters, which was pressing them back amid jeers and threats, accompanied by stones nnd missies. When1
the smoke cleared away thirty-one wounded and dead lay on the pavements.
THE HUNTER V.
Tho New Company That Will Steadily
Develop This Promising Property.
The first meeting of the British Columbia
Standard Mining company will be held on
Friday afternoon next at the office of S.
S. Fowler, In this city, for the purpose of
electing officers and transacting other Important business.
This company has been formed for the
purpose of acqulrng and working the properties of the Standard Development syndicate, including the well known Hunter
V. mine The provisional directors of the
new company are J. Lalng Stocks, J. J:
Campbell, J. Johnstone, J. Carmlchael,
and W. Davis. Other local mining men
who are largely Interested In the company
are S. S. Fowler, A. H. Gracey and R.
Hedley. The Hunter V. which tho new
company will develop on a large scale Is a
property that has been coming rapldy to
tho front of late and by next season wilt
probably bo one of tho large shipping
mines of this section of the Kootenays.
Last winter a shipment of 400 tons of ore
was sent to tho smelter on which good returns wero received. Since then the fnlrly
large force of men employed on the property has been kept steadflv at development work, with most gratifying results.
The work carried on this summer has
consisted chiefly of a series of open cuts
to trace the ledge into other parts of the
group besides that on which the original
shafts had been sunk. This has resulted
In showing that ore of the same character
as that originally found exists ln paying
quantities all across the property, tho
assays on ore brought In on Monday running from 100 to 160 ounces of stiver to the
ton, this being taken from a number ot
open cuts.
Tho property Is situated about three
miles south east of the Nelson & Fort
Sheppard railway, on the divide between
Hidden and Porcupine creeks. As a mining property it differs considerably from
any other in the district, being described
as an Immense deposit of limestone in
which high silver values are found, the
native silver being in large flakes easily
perceptible to the naked eye. It Is probable that the new company will build a
tramway from the mine to the railway,
which will make possible the handling of
the oro on a very economical scale. The
ore at present mined averages $16 per
ton. Owing to the character of the ore very
good terms have been secured from the
smelter the average cost of treatment being about $4 per ton.
FISHERMEN'S DEMANDS.
Fraser River Canners Will Not Pay Price

tho original offer, namely, IB cents for July
nnd 14 for August. The canners state that
when the run commences they expect to
have plenty of men.

Lubbeck.)
A FIRE AT SLOCAN  CITY.
Captain and Crew of Steamer Slocan
Render Prompt Assistance.
[Special to The Dally News.)
Slocan City, July 7.—This morning at 7
o'clock tho Arlington hotel, the leading
ono In the city, took fire nnd had a very
narrow escape of being completely destroyed. The steamer Slocan was about
leaving the wharf nt tho time, but fortunately captain McLennnan observed tho
smoke, nnd immediately laid hose and had
tho pumps of the steamer working on tho
flames, which, with the assistance of tho
Slocan fire brigade, soon had tho fire under control. Tin' Iobs Is placed at about
11,000. The cause of the flro is unknown.
But for tho prompt action of captain McLennan and tho crew, tho building would
doubtless have been completely destroyed
and possibly mnny other buildings along
the main street as well.

EAST KOOTENAY MINES.
Directors Report On tho North Star—Work
On the Dupont and Other Claims.
It Is reported thnt oro has been struck
In the shaft now being sunk at the North
Star mine.
Wm. Myers Is hnrd at work developing
the Watson mine at Victoria gulch,
Moro men arc steadily being added to tho
forces at the placer mines on Wild Horse
and Perry creeks, and the Indications are
that more will bo needed In the near future.
The directors of the North Star company
in their annual report to the shareholders
Bay ln part: "Development work has been
carried on during the year, but so far has
not resulted In the disclosure of any large
additional ore bodies, although Indications
are very encouraging. About 8,400 tons
were shipped during tho first six months
of the year, but shipments were discontinued after the first of December, awaiting the result of'an appeal to the government for protection to the lead mining
Industry of Canada, as the directors felt
they should not continue to sacrifice the
valuable ores of the company until the result was known. Shipments will be resumed when your directors are assured that
the snme can be made profitably. A dividend was paid for the quarter ending 31st
August, but on December 1st the directors
decided that It was In the Interests
of the shareholders to suspend payment of
further dividends In order to keep the
company ln a strong financial position and
enable them to continue development work
tq a depth and ensure the full exploration of the property,"
James Nelson has completed a season's
work on the Dupont, and reports considerable Improvement ln the appearance of the
vein. Work was done In an Incline to follow down a shoot of ore that had been
passed over In tho drift. As evidence of
the Improvement he has brought down a
quantity of or* which represents an average of eight feet of the vein. Some of
the pieces shown were galena carrying
values high In silver, and also gray copper. There were pieces of quartz that
showed gold. The greater^ quantity, however, was spar and Iron sulphides carrying gold In paying quantities. Such a
condition of ores and vein in a localty
where mining was 4n active progress would
readily find capital for Its development.
These ores would well pay for handling
and smelting were there a smelter In East
Kootenny, but the owner's operations are
limited to the assessment work only, and
developments arc necessarily slow.

Rome, July 8.-1.26 a. m.-It Is hoped that
the pope's strength will be maintained as
he has already taken somewhat more
nourishment, seeming to prefer the folk ot
an egg with small sips of a stimulant,
especially brandy.
3.15 a. m.—Pope Leo is now ln a troubled
sleep.
Rome, July 7.—An operation was successfully performed upon the pope this
afternoon puncturing the pleurisy which
had complicated the pneumonia with
which he was suffering.
Pope Leo remained sitting ln bed during
the whole time of tho operation without
need of support The pope went through
the whole affair without emitting any feeling of pain. He was extremely pale almost diaphanous and somewhat tremulous. As soon as the operation was over
his holiness felt much relieved. Dr. Mas-
ton! at once administered a cordial.
The pope afterwards expressed a desire
to see tho liquid which had been extracted
from his thorax. The pontiff then asked
for minute explanation ot the apparatus
used In the operation.
"It Is a most ingenius instrument," he
said, "but your band Is also very clever.
That is why the operation was successful
In not giving me any pain.  1 thank you."
After half an hour's peaceful and apparently refreshing repose the pope awoke
and inquired about the doctors. Hearing
they were both ln the next room he said:
"I thought they hod gone. What do
they stay here for? What are they plotting?"
Dr. Lapponi re-entering the room said:
"We were preparing bulletins regarding
tho operation, saying' it was successful ln
all respects."
"Well. Well," replied his holiness, "I
wish to see myself these bulletins ln their
exact text."
Ha then went on speaking about the
causes of his Illness. "I would like to
know" be said, "from what It comes. I
think I havo always followed Dr. Lapponl's
advice."
"Not always, your holiness," replied Dr.
Lapponi   gently.
"Well," retorted popo Leo, "you could
not expect to remedy my old age."
After a short silence the pope turning to
Dr. Mnzzonl sold:
"In the last consistory I appointed as a
cardinal a fellow-citizen of yours, cardinal
Lallnnl. who comes from the Manches. Do
you know him?"
"Yes, your holiness, I know him. I hope
that that will not be your last consistory."
"I am afraid so," sighed the pope sadly.
After which his head fell upon the pillow
as though extremely tired, being again the
prey of exhaustion. The happy, and cheerful expressions of tho pontiff at the moment when he was In the very shadow of
death astonished tho doctors.
The pope himself seems to glory in his
ability to present a calm and bright demeanor.

TWENTY-THREE KILLED.
Washington, D. C, July 7.—Twenty-three
persons wero killed and nine persons injured In a head on collision tn the Virginia Midland division of the Southern
railway at Rockflsh, Va., about 3 o'clock
this afternoon. Passenger train No. 33,
leaving Washington at 11.15 a.m. today for
Atlanta, Ga., dashed Into local freight No.
68, both engines, baggage, express and
second class passenger coaches of No. 35
were wrecked. Tho coaches were occupied
chiefly by colored people.
It was first reported that baggage master
Payne of train No. 36 had met his death
In the wreck. He was caught under one
of the coaches but was rescued and possibly will recover.
It Is now said to be almost certain thnt
of those killed 19 were colored persons ns
tho second class coach which was telescoped, was occupied exclusively by them.
Later advices from the scene of the
wreck are that the freight train which
was on the main track hnd been there for
six minutes longer than the orders directed when the collision occurred.
FROM THE TERRITORIES.
T. P. Hardy, formerly mayor of Greenwood, arrived in tho city Inst evening on
his way home to tho Boundary after a
three week's trip through tho Bnttleford
country. Mr. Hnrdy states that the tldo
of Immigration still continues to flow Into
tho northwest, the incoming settlers now
being largely Americans. On the train
that ho went north from Calgary on,
there were six passenger coaches, and
each one was crowded to the doors, and
this had boen the case with every train
going north. All tho rivers wero overflowing through tho exceptionally wet summer experienced so far, but as this presaged an unusually good crop all tho farmers
seemed well satsfied. The principal difficulty experienced by the settlers at present
was tho lack of lumber. As fast ns lumber Ih shipped In It Is taken by tho small
towns which are springing up In avery
direction, nnd the individual settler, purchasing In comparatively small quantities often finds It almost Impossible to get
any lumber nt alt Outside uf this tho great
bulk of tho settlers seemed to be getting
along very well After the hnrvest hns
been gathered In the Pnkotas, Minnesota,
nnd other western states another still
greater Immigration Is expected from the
south Into tho territories. Mr. Hardy leaves
this  morning  for home.

RIGHTS    OP THE COMMON   PEOPLE.
The Rossland Miner has apparently experienced a change of heart and Is now
not so enthusiastic over the McBrlde government. What has arisen to disillusion
the Miner i'8 do not know, but It has
come to the conclusion that the present
leaders of the conservative party are not
likely to do the great things It predicted
of them quite recently.
Tho Miner now seeks to encourage the
organization of an Independent party which
will work for the rights of the common
people—particularly the prospector, the free
miner, and the business man. The Miner's
category of the common peoplo Is too circumscribed. Why docs It not include the
farmer, tho lumberman, the fisherman,
and tho hardworking professional man?
But why start a new party to look after
tho interests of tho common people? If
liberalism stands for anything It stands
for the advocacy of popular rights. This
hns been the guiding principle of liberalism
In all ages and ln all countries. In Canada
the history of tho liberal party is a story
of persistent and consistent effort ln the
direction of securing to the peoplo control
of public affairs. The memorable fight
waged by tho liberal party against the conservative oligarchy In pro-confederation
days must be familiar to every school boy.
In later days, ana'unacr ohnnsa^ conditions secured by the adoption of liberal
principles of government, the work of the
party was necessarily less strenuous, but
it was continued along similar lines, the
object being always to secure the greatest
measure of popular control of all branches
of tho administration. Since the liberal
party came Into power In 1896, the principles advocated In opposition have stead*
ily been kept to tho front and as opportunity has permitted reforms have been
Instituted calculated to secure to the masses those rights which the liberal party
havo always contended 'for.
'When the liberals took office they suc-
escded to a conservative administration
that had controlled tho administration for
eighteen years. They were therefore confronted by condltons that could not be
radically changed off-hand without causing grave economic and social disturbances.
But carefully and persistently reforms
have been Introduced and slowly but surely a healthier condition of affairs Is being
brought about ln the dominion. Of course
there are those who would liko to have
seen the liberal government proceed with
less caution, would havo welcomed the immediate putting Into effect of certain reforms and new methods of administration.
It Is questionable though If Canada would
havo enjoyed the long period of prosperity
It has experienced since 1896 if the government had pursued that kind of a policy.
Reforms have ben Introduced quietly and
with tho utmost discretion so that the
smooth working of governmental machinery has not been Interfered with and
at the samo time great advantages havo
been secured to the peoplo.
In almost every department of government it is poslblo to point to reforms ot
very great moment, all of which have been
worked out gradually and without flourish of trumpets.
In the postofflco department wo havo
soon the abolition of tho sweating system,
tho reduction of tho letter rate, and an
Improvement In the still inadequate remuneration of the postodlco employees.
In tho department of public works we
have scon tho Introduction of tho principle of the standard wage, a reform In
Itself of very great and far reaching Importance. In tho department of railways
wo havo seen business methods applied
to tho operation of tho Intercolonial railway, so that notwithstanding reduction
In freight rates and increase In the pay of
employees that undertaking Is now on
a paying bnsls. Wo have Just had a further example of progress in tho determination of tho government to undertake tho
construction of an Important section of tho
new transcontinental railway from Monckton to Winnipeg and we further know
that to ensure to the people protection from
exorbitant freight rates tho government
has created a railway commission with
largo powers.
The reforms In tho department of the Interior have been ho numerous nnd so bonc-
flclal  Hint there Is no need to enumerate
JA /urns (U-n/h <ii*h/<l*<s 'hw&iCtva* c jt> c/mu
thorn, but the liberal methods adopted in
the disposal to bona fido settlers of dominion homesteads and timber privileges
Indicate tho policy that has prevailed.
Tho fiscal reforms affected by the minister of finance are eloquently testified to
by the improved trade conditions and tho
closer ties now binding Canada to the
mother land.
It would be an easy matter to extend this
list of things done indefinitely, hut sufficient has been said to justify the contention that there is no need for the Rossland
Miner to look beyond the liberal party
when It wants to assist in establishing
ln office ln this province a government
that will work for the Interests of tho common people, The Miner probably overlooks the fact that the liberal party in
this province lias never had control of the
administration. In tho legislature just
dissolved tho conservatives predominated
in the proportion of 22 to 16. In the Semlln
administration liberals were more numerously represented on the government
benches and a very distinct ndvancc was
made In tho direction of popular legislation.
Granted n strong liberal government, tho
Rossland Miner will find that those rights
of tho common pooplo which today cause
It so much axiety will bo fairly and fully
conserved. This Is not meant to Imply thnt
the liberal party Is perfect, that it has
mado no mistakes in tho past, or that
there are no sinners in Its ranks. The liberal party is just as liable to err and Is
quite as llkey to havo within its midst men
who are corrupt as Is the conservative
party. The liberal party however, here,
as elsewhere, stands for popular government, whilst the conservative party stands
for government by the few for the benefit
of the few.
The Rossland Miner can best serve the
cause it professes to havo at heart by assisting ln the return of liberal candidates
In every constituency ln southern Kootenay
The conditions attaching   to   the   lead
bounty aro admittedly framed In the best
IntnrcHtu   of   the mining   Industry.    While*
dealing generously with the lead producers of British Columbia the government
has endeavored to encourage Canadian
smelting Interests and at the same time
provide adequate machinery to protect the
mine owners from the possible greed of
olther smelters or transportation companies. It is to be hoped that mining will now
be prosecuted with even greater vigor than
was tho agitation to securo tho relief
granted,,
TO  SUPPLANT COAL.
Valuable Fuel Properties of tho Eucalyptus Tree.
All trees and plants are storers of the
sun's energy' but all do not possess this
property in an equal dogree. The eucalyp^
tus appears to have it in greater measure
than other trees, as was first noted In 1882
by D. E. Hutchlns, of Cape Colony, and
sir A. Brandls. Mr. Hutchlns has been
again directing attention ln Nature to
this feature of the tree, which he believes
will make It moro valuable as a fuel than
coal.
According to Mr. Hutchlns, a eucalypt
plantation in tropical mountains, such as
In South Africa, under favorable circumstances, stores up about one per cent of
tho solar energy received on the unit of
area, and it is considered much cheaper
In some parts of Cape Colony to plow up
the land and plant a forest of quick-growing trees than to import coal.
In 1882 Mr. Hutchlns and sir A. Brandis,
as result of their experiments, discovered
that eucalypts planted on tropical mountains produce fuel at the rate of 20 tons—
dryweight at 60 pounds per cubic foot—
per acre per year tn perpetuity. The
eucalypt plantation reproduces itself when
cut without further expense, and Its dry
tlmebr, heavier than coal, has an equal
or a higher thermal power, bulk for bulk,
than coal. This result was obtained as a
measurement of the maximum yield of
eucalyptus globulus on the Nilglrls, southern India. If a chance tree on a chance
mountain ln a chance soli can produce tho
equivalent of 20 tons of coal por aero per
year, It seems not unreasonable to suppose, Mr. Hutchlns suggests, that by selection double this or 40 tons, can be produced. A powerful sun, a heavy rainfall,
and a very rapid forced growth are the
essentials of such a production of wood
fuel. A glance over the rainfall map of
the world shows these conditions are fulfilled over about 8,000,000,000 acres of its
surface, which is between one-fourth nnd
one-fifth of the total land surface of 35,-
200,000,000 acres. One-half of this area under forest might thus yield the equivalent
of 1GO,000,000,000 tons of coal yearly, which
Is more than 288 times tho world's present
consumption of coal, assuming that conl
and eucalypt timber aro of approximately
equal heating power. On this basis of the
actual forest yield of tho present day, wo
have half of this, or the equivalent of
80,500,000,000 tons. In Germany, one-fourth
of the total area Is under forest, and taking tho German standard of one-fourth forest, on the basis of the present maximum
yield we should obtain 40,250,000,000 tons;
while If the maximum forest yield bo converted to an average forest yield there
would still romnln a yearly product of 20,-
175,000,000 tons, which Is rathor moro than
thirty times the world's present consumption of coal. Thus It Is seen that the yield
of firewood from tho world's tropical and
extra-tropical forests, whorovor they are
fully stocked nnd scientifically worked,
will yield the equivalent of from 30 to 122
times the present consumption of coal, or
I
'Let the GOLD OUST twins do your work

even up to 243 times tho present consumption, if by cultivation tho present timber
yield can bo doubled, as It might bo without difficulty.
HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.
(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.)
In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 18S9, the editor of this paper was
among the many seekers after fortune
who made the big race ono fine April day.
During his traveling about and afterwards
his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which together with
the severe heat, gave him a very severe
diarrhoea which It seemed almost Impossible to check, and along ln June the cose
became so bad he expected to die. One day
one of his neighbors brought him one
small bottlo of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.
A big dose was given to him while he was
rolling about on the ground In great agony
and In a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for
a fortnight. That one bottle worked a
complete cure and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel disorders
being at hand suggests this Item. For sale
by all druggists and dealers.

CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM
(Adopted at Revelstoke,  Sept. 13th, 1902.)
1. That this convention reaffirms the
policy of the party ln matters of provincial
roads and trails; the ownership and control of railways and the development of
the agricultural resources of the province
as laid down in the platform adopted ln
October, 1899, which Is as follows:
"To actively aid ln tho construction of
trails throughout the undeveloped portions of the province and the building of
provincial trunk roads of public necessity.
"To adopt the principles of government
ownership of railways In so far as the circumstances of the province will admit,
and the adoption of the principle thnt no
bonus should be granted to any railway
company which docs not give the government of the province control of rates over
lines bonused, together with the option of
purchase.
"To actively assist by state aid In the
development of the agricultural resources
of the province."
2. That In the meantime and until the
railway policy above set forth can be accomplished, a general railway act be passed, giving freedom to construct railways
under certain approved regulations, analogous to the system that has resulted In
such extensive railway construction In the
United States, with so much advantage to
trade and commerce.
3. That to encourage the mining industry, the taxation of metalliferous mines
should be on the basis of a percentage on
the net profits.
4. That the government ownership of
telephone systems should be brought about
as a first step in the acquisition of public
utilities.
5. That a portion of every coal area hereafter to be disposed of should be reserved
from salo or lease, so that state owned
mines may be easily accessible, If their
operation becomes necessary or advisable,
6. That in the pulp land leases provision
should be made for reforesting and that
steps should be taken for the general preservation of forests by guarding against
the wasteful destruction of Umber.
'7. That the legislature and government
of the province should persevere ln the
effort, to secure the exclusion of Asiatic
labor.
8. That the matter of better terms In the
way of subsidy and appropriations for the
province should be vigorously pressed upon the Dominion government.
9. That the silver-lead Industries of the
province bo fostered and encouraged by
the imposition of increased customs duties on lead and lead products imported into Canada, and that the Conservative members of the Dominion House be urged to
support any motion introduced for such a
purpose.
10. That ns industrial disputes almost
Invariably result in great loss and Injury
both to the parties directly concerned and
to the public, legislation should be passed
to provide means for an amicable adjustment of such disputes between employers
and employees.
11. That It Is advisable to foster the manufacture of the raw products of the province within the province as far as practicable by means of taxation on the said
raw products, subject to rebate of the
same in whole or part when manufactured
In British Columbia.

Cholera Infantum
There is no danger whatever from this disease when
taken in time and properly treated.   All that is necessary
is to give
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
after each operation of the bowels more than natural and then
castor oil to cleanse the system. It is safe and sure. When
reduced with water and sweetened it is pleasant to take.
HOW NEW POPE IS ELECTED
A POPULAR ACCOUNT OP THE CONCLAVE AT ROME.
TWO-THIRDS   OP    THE     CARDINALS
MUST AC REE.
The clocion of (lie primate ot Christendom has been fittingly termed tho supremo
administrative net of tho church, and Is
necessarily fenced around with elaborate
nnd extraordinary precautions.
Upon tho death of tho pope, the government of the church devolves upon the
college of cardinals till such time us his
successor la elected, nnd n smnll executive
council undertakes the work of administration, the president being tho enmer-
lengo, or chamberlain, of the holy Roman
church. This high ofllcial at once takes
charge of tho vatlcan nnd then proceeds
to verify tho decease of the popo. Going
with various prelates and other ecclesiastical dignitaries to the doatli chamber, he
taps the brow of tbe deceased pontiff threo
times with a small silver hammer, and
thrice calls 4ilm by his Christian name.
Receiving no reply, he turns to those present and announces, "The pope is indeed
dead!" Ho then takes possession of the
tlsherman'a ring, which hns been removed
from tho pope's linger, and subsequently
breaks It in the presence of his fellow cardinals, at tho first meeting of the sacred
college
The next days are occupied in the funeral ceremonial, which are of the most
eiaborato nnd ("lately character, and last
about a week. Tho body of the deceased
pontiff lies In state in St. Peter's, where
vast multitudes nssemble to take a Inst
look nt the face of the father of Christendom,
The actual entombment takes place nt
night on the third or fourth day, nnd It
affords one of the most Impressive scenes
that can be Imagined, The church is
closed and is only lighted by the torches
carried in tho procession, as the body Is
horno from tho chapel of tho blessed sacrament past the high altnr ot the chapel of
the canons, where It Is deposited In a coflln
of cypress wood, which Is enclosed In lead
and finally placed in a casket of oak or
chestnut. In tho inner coffin are laid
purses containing coins struck In various
years of tho lato popo's reign, and n brief
history of his chief acts inscribed on parchment and enclosed in a metal tube. Tho inner coffins nro sealed by tho cnmerlengo
nnd other high officials.
The tomb Is situated ln a niche ln the
wall ovor a door on the left-hand side of
the chapel. Hero the body reposes until the
tomb to bo erected to tho pope's memory
by the cardinals whom ho created is ready
to receive It If It happens that at the
death of tho pope tho coffin of his predecessor Is still In this provisional tomb, it
Is removed to the crypt under the church.
In the meantime tho vatlcan Is being
prepared for the ossombly of tho conclave
which Is to elect tho new pope, All the
cardinals are summoned to attend, and tho
rule for six hundred years hns been to
commence tho work of election on the
tenth day after tho death. This worked
well enough when all tho cardinals wore
resident in Europe; but now that members
of the sacred college nre scattered throughout tho world, It is obviously impossible
for them all to arrive in time, and Plus
IX. authorized the conclave to commence
work as soon us two-thrds of Its members
were asembied, without waiting for the
rest. As Leo XIII. was camerlongo at the
timo, und took a leading part ln drawing
up these rules, It.mny be assumed that in
tho new laws that he bus laid down for
the conclave this principle has boon maintained. Many of the ancient rules have
been modified, as a result of the changed
position of affairs created by tho loss ot
tho temporal power.
Tho 'conclave Is now held In tho Vatican
though tho cardinals arc empowered to
assemble elsewhere If they think fit Several large suites of apartments are allotted
for the accommodation of the cardinals
and their attendants, who, together with
a largo staff of conclavists, or officials employed In various ways, are shut in by a
door which bears four locks; two on the Inside, tho keys of which nro kept by the
cardinal camerlongo, and two on the outside, which are controlled by the marshal,
prince Cbigi.
Tho rooms are divided by temporary partitions Into cells for tho cardinals, each
cell having an outer apartment, which
Is occupied by a chaplain or other attendant. When it Is remembered that a large
number of persons aro thus enclosed—In
1878 there wero nearly two hundred and
fifty—It will be apparent that the task ot
housing them all is no light one.
In addition to the chaplain and personal
attendant that each cardinal brings with
him, there arc a sacristan with 6 sub sacristans; a secretary with two assistants; a
prefect nnd five masters of ceremonies;
two physicians and a dispenser; several
barbers; a number of cooks and domestic
servants; and a few mnsons, carpenters
and plumbers, In case of any repairs being
urgently needed.
On tho day for opening the conclave, a
mass of the Holy Ghost Is sung in St.
Peter's, a sermon preached, and the cardinals enter the Vatican In solemn procession. Tho Vent Creator Is sung, and they
then lake tho oath to observe the apostolic
constitutions, after wlUJoh rthey go tjo
their cells, which aro assigned to them by5
lot. All tho -other conclavists then take
onth not to meddle ln the election nor reveal any secrets that may come to their
knowledge.
Later In tho evening the bell rings, and
tho order, "Extra omnes!"—"all outsldo!"
—Is given, nfter which the door Is locked
by the camerlengo from within and the
mnrshall from without. The camerlengo
nnd three other cardinals then mako a
tour of Inspection throughout the building
to seo that everything Is In order nnd tliat
no strangers are present,
The door of the conclave Is that of the
Sala Regla, at tho top of the marshal's
staircase. All other doors giving access to
that pnrt of tho Vatican have been previous
ly walled up. Beside this door are four
turns, similar to those sometimes seen ln
the walls of kitchens, through which correspondence and food aro passed. One of
these turns Is closely guarded by bishops,
another by prothonotarles, the rcmnlnlng
two being In charge of prelates of the papal
tribunals.
The cnrdlnnls nre at liberty to receive
letters on personal or family matters, but
not communications bearing upon tho election. To ensure tho observance of this rule
nil correspondence passing through the
turns, either from within or without, is
read by the guardians, unless It Is marked
"private," In wheh case Jt goes direct to
the secretary of the conclave, and Is read
by the chiefs of orders—certain cardinals
who are responsible for the direction of
each day's business—who, If they think
fit, may read It to the whole college.
Newspapers and books are admitted without restriction, and a cardinal may go to
the turn to speak to anyone, but only In
the presence of its guardianB.
Should a cardinal arrive after the conclave has assembled, he has the right of
admission, and the marshall without communicates with the camerlengo within,
and arranges a convenient time for the
door to be unlocked. The new arrival Is
met by the whole college who have assembled ln the royal hall to welcome him,
and advantage Is taken of the open door
to admit fresh conclavists and any articles
that may be needed, as well as to pass out
anyone who through 111 health or other
reasons finds it necessary to leave tho conclave.
The door can also be opened to allow a
sick cardinal to pass out, but he Is not
allowed to re-enter. Owing to the age and
infirmities of many members of the sacred
college, it Is not uncommon for some of
them to bo taken HI, especially ln the case
of a protracted conclave In the unhealthy
months of the summer, when malaria is
apt to be prevalent In Rome. Occasionally
cardinals have died In the conclave.
The day's routine Is almost monastic In
Its regularity. The first day of the con-
clavo begins with the community mass at
eight o'clock, ln the Pauline chapet. This
mnss Is celebrated by the dean or senior
cardinal, and at It all the members of the
sacred college communicate. Afterwards
they return to their cells to take the morning collation.
On all other days, each cardinal says
muss In his cell at whatever time suits
him best, but all who are not unwell assist also at the community mass, which is
said every morning by the bishop-sacristan.
At Its close all proceed to the hall of election, where the morning voting takeB place,
About noon, all return to their cells,
where dinner Is served separately to each,
and the short siesta, common in southern
countries, follows. After this those who
feel disposed to take exercise In the corridors or pay visits to each other's cells,
until three or four o'clock, when all assemble for the afternoon scrutiny. This is
followed by transaction of miscellaneous
business of the conclave by the various
officials, and If anything very Important
arises a meeting of the college may be held
to discuss It Towards nine or ten o'clock
supper is Berved after which the bell
rings, and the order, "In cellam, domini"—
"In your cells, my lords"—gives the signal
for retiring. But a good deal of visiting
from cell to cell goes on, nnd the conclavists— who nre not always ns discreet
ns their masters—wander freoly about the
corridors, discussing the affairs of the day.
If a cardinal wishes to be alone, his servant places at the door of the cell two
bars of wood, somewhat like a St. Andrew's oroai, as a signal that his eminence Is not visible,
Tho voting takes place in the Slxtlne
chapel, which Is entered from the royal
hall, which In Its marvellous mural decorations is only next in beauty to the chapel,
to whih it serves as nn ante-chamber.
Ranged around the. chapel are the thrones
of the cardinals, each surmounted by a
canopy In token of tho Joint sovereignty of
the members of the sacred college during
the vncancy of the Apostolic See. The
dean, or senior cardinal, occupies the first
throne on the gospel or north side of the
altnr, and after him In order of senorlty,
come tbe cardinal bishops, priests nnd
deacons, the junior cardinal dencon sitting
on the trone nearest the altar on the
Epistle or south Bide.
Before each throne Is a small table, supplied with writing materials, while ln the
middle of the chapel are six other tables,
provided for the use of any cardinals who
may be afraid of being overlooked by their
neighbors while filling In the voting papers.
All tho tables are provided with sealing
wax' and tapers for use ln closing the
papers ln the manner to bo described.
There are three methods by which a pope
may be elected—those of acclamation, compromise, and scrutiny. In the first case,
all the cardinals leave their thrones to do
homage to one of their number, who—subject to his own consent—thereby becomes
pope. Here there is absolute unanimity,
but no Instance of election by acclamation
has occurred for about three hundred
years.
The method of compromise is only adopted ln the case of an extremely protracted
election, when these seems no prospect of
a two-thirds majority agreeing upon any
one candidate. Tho cardinals then appoint
a small committee to settle the matter and
pledge themselves to accept its decision.
The usual method Is that of scrutiny, or
ballot. The rules are that every cardinal
present must vote, no one can vote for
himself, a two-thirds majority Is necessary for an election, and tho voting must
be absolutely secret
It is to secure the Inst of these conditions
that a very Ingenious voting paper haB
been adopted. It is divided into three compartments, in the first of which tho cardinal writes his own name, in tho second
that of the candidate for whom he votos,
and in the third a motto and number.
The first and third' compartments are
then folded twice and sealed down at both
sides, so that only the middle compartment
can bo seen by tho scrutineers. The back
of the voting paper, behind tho spaces for
the name and motto of the voter, Is covered with fancy printing that the writing
may not show through.
Although the Instructions for filling In,
folding and sealing these voting papers
are most clear and precise, a surprising
number of mistakes sometime occur. At
the conclavo that elected Leo XIII. sov-
ernl papers In tho first scrutiny were rejected because Improperly scaled; In tho
second scrutiny one of them was utterly
illegible; and in the third one of the electors was found to havo voted for cardinal
Nobody!
At each assembly of the conclave, throe
cardinals aro elected ns scrutineers, and
three infirmnrlans. The duty of tho latter
Is to take tho votes of any of the cnrdlnnls who may bo confined to their cells
through sickness.
In voting, the electors In order of seniority go to the altar, where each kneels for
a few moments in private prayer. He
then rises and holds his voting paper over
a lnrge chalice which stands on tho altar,
and audibly tnkes oath that he Is voting
for the man he sincerely believes to be the
most suitable; after which he places the
paper on the paten and lets It slide into
tho chalice.
The next business Is to count the votes.
The chalice is shaken to mix the papers,
which are then counted into a second chalice, in order to see if they correspond In
number with the cardinals present. If they
do not, they are burnt, and a fresh vote
taken.
Each voting paper Is taken from the
chalice by tho first scrutineer, who looks
at the name voted for and hands the paper
to the second scrutineer, who, after looking at it, gives It to the third, who reads
the name aloud. All the cardnals then
make a mark against that name on their
lists.
When all tho votes have boon read out,
the papers are pierced and threaded on a
string. If no ono has obtained tho necessary two-thirds majority, a second vote Is
taken, which is known as that of accession.
This is done In order that, if any enndidate
has received a large number of votes, any
cardinal who may please may transfer
their votes to him, and bo bring about an
election without further delay. No one can
vote again for the same person, but each
Is obliged to hand In a voting paper,
though he need not insert anyone's name in
it
The votes thus acceded nre now added to
those previously given, and if no candidate has secured the necessary majority,
the papers are mixed with somo damp
straw nnd burnt in a small stove, placed
in the chapel for this purpose. The appearance of smoko from the flue Is the signal to the people outside that the pope is
not yet elected.
When either by scrutiny or accession, It
appears that someone hns received a two-
thirds majority of tho votes, the papers
are re-counted, and n various ways examined to see that everything is In order.
Should the majority be exactly two-thirds
of the total votes recorded, the papers are
opened and the names of those voting in
the majority examined, ln order to mako
sure that tho elected cardinal did not voto
for himself.
If atl is proved correct, three cardinals
are chosen by lot to act as revisers, and
these re-count nnd check tho voting papers.
When thoy certify thnt the pope Is elected
the papers are burnt, but without any
damp straw.
The secretary of the conclave and the
master of ceremonies are now summoned,
nnd the dean proceeds with them to tho
throne of tho newly-elected pope, and asks
If ho Is willing to accept the ofllce. Should
he consent the canopies over'all the thrones
but his own are at once lowered, in token
that the temporary joint sovereignty of
tho sacred college is at nn end.
Tho new pope now proceeds to the altar
nnd, nfter spending a short time In prayer,
is conducted to a vestry, where ho assumes the usual papnl dress, after which
he returns to the altar nnd receives the
homage of the cardinals.   This is some
times known as the "adoration," and the
absurd notion has gone abroad that divine
worship Is paid to the pope. It need hardly
be added that this Is utterly untrue.
Later, the election Is announced from
tho balcony of St. Peter's by the senior
cardinal deacon, and the new pope's first
public act Is to give the apostolic benediction to tho city and the world from tho
loggia of tho cathedral.

not be known exactly until Mr. Shannon

A CONSERVATIVE CONUNDRUM.
A little green dodger was recently circulated In Kaslo announcing a meeting of
the locat liberal-conservative association
It read as follows:
"A meeting of the liberal-conservntive
association will be held tonight at 9 o'clock
over  Stephenson's  drug  store.
"All supporters of the candidature of Hon.
R. F. Green are cordially invited to attend.   C. W. McAnn, President."
It will be noted that two classes wero
invited by the circular, liberal-conservatives and supporters of nn apparently self-
nominated candidate. The question arises,
are the second class not conservatives, or
do not the conservatives belong to tho
second class?
This Is a conservative conundrum and
not Intended as a liberal-conservative Joke.
The meeting was held but nothing was
done ns many who came left Immediately
they realized tho mixed nature of the
gathering.
