The council of workmen's delegates, or the strike committee, are manifestly encouraged by the extension of the strike in St/Petersburg; various organizations, including the bank clerks, telephone girls and some of the professional leagues have voted to join the movement- Moreover It is certain that the workmen's council have received my- Bterlous supplies of funds and consequently they present a bolder front. Practically all the pretexts based on economic demands have beeu abandoned, but the eight hour day demand figures in the oratory at meetings in order to hold the workmen who have no thought except improvement iu their material condition. The workmen's council have returned a scornful reply to count Witte's pergonal appeal lo his "brother workmen," ridiculing the government's profession of solicitude for the workmen and renewing their demands for the immediate abolition of martial law in Poland, etc. Count Witte's attempt lo negotiate directly with the strike leaders has come to naught although lie offered concessions in the case of the Cronstadt mutineers, in the event of their being condemned to death, but the leaders refused all compromise. "All or nothing" was their response. The text of the resolution adopted being as follows: "Tho council of workmen's delegates expresses astonishment at the emperor's favorite, who permits himself to call the workmen of St, Petersburg his brothers. The proletariat Is not related to him in any •way. "Count witte appeals to us to he compassionate of our wives and children. The council iu replying invites the workmen to count the widows and orphans who have been added to the ranks of thc workmen since the day count Witte assumed power. "Count Witte reveals the benevolent intentions of the emperor towards thc •working classes. The council reminds the proletariat of 'Bloody Sunday.' "Count Witte begs ns to give tho government time and he will do all possible for the workingmen. The council knows count witte has already found time to give Polaud Into the hands of the military executioners. The council does not doubt count Witte will do all possible to strangle the revolutionary proletariat. "Count Witte calls himself a man who is benevolent towards us and wishes our good. The council declai'03 lhe ■working classes have uo need of tbo benevolence of a court favorite but demand a popular government on the basis of universal and direct and secret road battalions. The resumption of traffic on this road insures supplies for the capital. Profound depression over the situation exists in the liberal camp. Many leaders now believe they made a fatal blunder in rejecting count Witte's request for their cooperation with the government in working out reforms, as they thereby practically surrendered the leadership of the antl-govermnent movement to the radicals, with whom the liberals have as little sympathy as they had with the old regime. The result is that the radicals, intoxicated by their taste of power, aro trying to drive the country into anarchy. Liberal sympathy is rapidly alienating itself from tbem and rather than the present state of demoralization, a large portion of the better classes would almost prefer repression. A mutiny in the Manchurian army is the latest sensational rumor in this city. According to the report the emperor has received a despatch from general Linevitch, telling .him of a revolt among the troops which was only suppressed after a regular fight ln which many soldiers were killed or wounded.. Forty-two officers are reported to have been shot for participation in the conspiracy. No confirmation of the rumor is obtainable from the officials of the war office. Dzereula, Caucasus, Nov. 17.—A railroad switch was thrown open here today resulting in a collision between two military trains. Fifteen -soldiers were wounded. Alter the collision the trains were fired upon from the hills, the soldiers defending themselves behind the railroad embankments. Kutals, Transcaucasia, Nov. 17.— The assistant manager of the railroad depot was shot and killed here today. The assassin escaped. Poti, Transcaucasia, Nov. 17.—The railroad employees here have struck. The rails have beon torn up and thrown Into the Black sea. Many of the telegraph wires are cut. Kallspe, Polish Russia, Nov. 17.-— Martini law is rigidly enforced here. Suspicious persons are forced to leave the city. Warsaw, Nov. 17.— Temporary governor generals have been appointed for ten governments of Russian Poland. They will bold office while martial law is in force. Kleff, Russia, Nov. 17.—Meetings have been prohibited by order of the minititfcu- Of the Ulterior'and Uie railroad station and shops ure under military guard. Warsaw, Nov. 17.—Regular railroad traffic has been resumed throughout Poland, the strike of Uie railroad men having ended, The normal life of the city has been resumed. The banks and stores have opened and the foctoriea are in operation. When the telegraphers appeared tor work today they were informed that ihey were discharged for participation In the strikes and that their places had been filled. The imperial ultase on the land question Issued today, although it wipes out about $40,000,000 of the peasants' arrears of debt, which under ordinary circumstances might have been received with Joy, is another disappointment. Tho promises of additional lands are too vague to calm the agitated, starving peasants, who in the valleys of tho Don and Volga rivers are again inarching, pillaging, burning and murdering. No confirmation has been obtained of yesterday's report of a false emperor, leading the peasants of Penza. The mill and factory owners at a meeting just held while offering to make some concessions in tho matter of Uie ihours of labor, generally to teit hours, took a Anal decision thnt unless the mon resumed work on Monday, they must close down indefinitely. Should the men be locked out in the fnce of winter 1t would only make the situation more desperate. The news from other provinces shows that practically no movement hns been started there in support of the general etrike but there is a deep suspicion that this may simply he the lull of preparation. The social democrats and revolutionaries are keeping their plans dark. Their organizations have ramifications throughout tho country and at a signal they might again be able to bring tho industries of the country to a standstill. The manager of the local branch of the Credit Lyonnaise, said the report that the bank is refusing to accept Russian securities as collateral on account of the unsettled condition and tho heavy falling off in prices on the bourse Is untrue, but It Insists upon having larger margins. Other banks av-a also adopting the same course and Caere is a noticeable disposition on (he part of all the banks to reduce their commissions; Troops have taken possession of the Moscow railroad station and the road Will be reopened by means of the rail- Warsaw, Nov. 17.—A bomb was thrown from a window of a house In Wolska street al a Cossack regiment tonight.

New York, Nov. 17.—Jacob Sohlff of this city, lias received the following cablegram from lord Rothschild in Loudon: "The Russian catastrophe, according to details from Russia loday, is far greater than expected, outrages, murder and whole sale rubbery and incendiarism continue in 14 towns. The relief fund has undertaken a task tuo great for it to grapple with." WEEKLY BANK CLEARINGS Vancouver and Winnipeg Leading the Procession.

PAY DAY AT^EVELSTOKE LARGE SUM DISBURSED TO C. P. R. EMPLOYEES COLUMBIA RIVER DIVERSION IS NOW UNDERWAY. (Special to The Dally News) Revelstoke, Nov. 17.—Yesterday was C. P. R. payday. The payroll of the company at this point amounts to about ¥50,000 per month, divided as follows: Trainmen, $11,000; engineers and firemen, $15,000; shopmen, $15,000; maintenance of way men, $5,000; office staffs of depot, mechanical foreman, storekeeper and engineer's offices, $4,000. It figures out at GOO men at an average of $100 per month, principally because of the high wages paid the engineers and trainmen. Of this 500 the shops employ about half, and arrangements are now being made to still further in crease its capacity and consequently, its number of hands. No account is taken in this payroll, which Is the regular one, of the extra track-laying and improvement gangs engaged in and about the new station and yard now fast nearing completion. The station will be the best in the interior, and the yard, perhaps the biggest west of Winnipeg excepting, of course, the Vancouver water front tracks.

FIREPROOF WORKS BURNED Martin's Ferry, Ohio, Nov. 17.—The Riverside Bridge company's plant waa burned early today. The loss will exceed 1200,000. All the buldlngs, which were Iron and steel and regarded as flre ■proof, were completely destroyed. St. Petersburg, Nov. 18.—(1,48 a.m.j -—Though, according to surface indications yesterday; the outlook for the Speedy ending of the strike was gloomy, the revelations made at a meeting last night of the council or workmen's delegates showed that a large portion of tlie workmen were breaking loose from the control of the leadens, and were anxious to return to work, anil a plebiscite will be taken today in which the various factories probably will reach a decision to abandon the strike on iftondny. At 'the meeting of the council, which was held In tlie same hall where father Gapon, Gorky and other leaders denounced the emperor on the eve of January 12, (Red Sunday), delegate after delegate from different factories arose ami reported that the workmen, under the Influence of the ultimatum issued by tho employers, announcing that the factories would be shut down indefinitely unless work was resumed on Monday, and with the pleading of their wives and of the conservatist workmen ringing in their enrs, were demanding that the strike should be ended. This precipitated a hotly contested debate between the radicals and the moderates who declared that the strike in the first Instance waa a strategical mistake and that it would be a graver error in tactics to attempt to force the men to remain in liue. One fiery speaker, who mounted the balcony from which father Gapon, In disguise, had delivered his last address in that hall, thundered his denunciation of those who wished to discontinue the struggle. After a long discussion, a motion lo call off the strike was rejected, aud It was decided to call meetings of workmen in the factories today to lay the situation before them and to abide by their decision. The leaders, however, were determined not to permit tlie strike to die without a final demonstration Of their power to render St. Petersburg a "dead city." In the meeting the advocates of the strike laid stress upon thc oncouraging news from the interior which they said they had to place hofore tlie worttmon today, but last night's despatches showed little confirmatory evidence of such news. Tlie news from Moscow is even less encouraging. The railroad* are still running and the telegraphers have ilittly refused to consider a strike for political aims. The workmen's committee have addressed the following appeal to thc soldiers and sailors: "Comrades and brothers.—For a long time we bave misunderstood each other. Your officers taught you to regard us as enemies of the fatherland aud as criminals whom you should shoot, beat with your whips, and butcher with your bayonets. "Our struggle for the people's freedom and ihe people's well-being has been depicted to you as a revolution against the fatherland which you are obliged to suppress. Many of you believing this have shot down your own brothers, tilling the streets of our town with their blood. "The ease is now altered. The eyes of many of the soldiers and sailors have been opened. They understand that all of us are brothers and that we are sous of the nation, whose common enemies are your comniandena and those In power. They understood that the liberty of the people Is their own liberty and tho good of thc people, their own good. "The men of the Black sea fleet and at Cronstadt stood against their-commanders and signified that they wanted to lead tlie lives of men, that they wanted liberty, and Ihey associated themselves With the cause of the people. A hundred sailors at Cronstadt have been handed over to a court martial, and may tomorrow be executed. "The workingmen of St. Petersburg struck, demanding the release ol! our soldier and sailor brothers and the abolition of court martinis and the death penalty, ls it possible that you soldiers and sailors will not arise and help your brothers at Cronstadt? Ts It possible that you wll remain hand in hand wilh the murderers of your brothers at Cronstadt? "Let not a shut be fired by you against Ihe people down with your blood thirsty commanders. Long live a free government and a free people" The council have broken off all negotiations with count Witte. The ringleaders of the Cronstadt mutiny have been sent to Sohltsselburg fortress where they will stand trial. At the navy department it was stated that there Is no intention to try the great mass of mutinous sailors, the outbreak being regarded more as a drunken riot than as a mutiny and for which the officers themselves were largely respon sible. Only the leaders will be tried and their punishment will be as light as possible. The bulk of them wll be sent to sea on a punitive cruise. \ The United States charge ^d'affaires has received notification that the U. S. cruiser Minneapolis, now at Cherbourg, after leaving that port will proceed to Copenhagen and if he thinks it advisable she will continue her cruise to the Baltic sea in order that she may be avaflable to meet any emergency. Mr. Eddy, however, is notifying the state department that the Neva will be icebound in ten days and is advising against the sending the cruiser here, The despatches from Poland indicate a break in the ranks of the strikers. The Vienna-Warsaw line is open and street cars are running at Warsaw. Should thc strike collapse in Poland it necessarily will weaken the movement here. M. Namehaiff, the minister of communications sent a notification yesterday to all the railway employees and officials to be at their posts today ready -to resume work otherwise they will be dismissed from the service. In some quarters the belief is expressed that martial law will be proclaimed in St, Petersburg loday. It is expected that the emperor and grand dukes insist on this step against the counsels of count Witte. The empoyers during the day finally informed the workmen that they had decided against tlie eight hour day, and general Dcbulin prefect of police lias issued a proclamation calling on the inhabitants not to yield to the demands of the strikers for the cessation of work, which demands. It is pointed out, are sometimes accompanied by threats. it is the intelligent middle class, however, which fs beginning to really support the government In its efforts to restore something like order and public tranquility. Many of tlie liberals, who fought, the government actively before the proclamation of the emperor's manifesto, nre now convinced that their leaders blundered frightfully by refusing to lend their support to count Witte in hii difficult task because he had declined to accept the unqualified conditions laid down by them. They see that now It is too late that they missed the great opportunity of becoming the loading Influence, and that they, by their inaction have become a negligible quantity. The leadership, which they fondly imagined they possessed has passed over to the extreme socialist cement, with whoso extravagant program for the levelling of all t-anloa they have nothing in common . They realize that the restoration of public tranquility is an immediate necessity, as otherwise tlie gov- ermont will soon have to chose between ropresaiouaand anarchy. The new party of "law and order," which has lately sprung into being with organizations in St. Petersburg, Moscow and the Baltic provinces and elsewhere has as Its principal plank the rallying of the sober and conservative forces of the nation to attain long expected liberties, The exodus of foreign residents, who are afraid io remain during the winter, continues, Most or them nre going byway of Finland, as all accommodatbn on the boats which will sail before the close of navigation has been engaged, Many members of the English and German colonies, and about hair of iho small American colonies are leaving. ANOTHER C. P. It. RUMOR. Canadian Road Said to no. Anxious to Get Into Tacoma. Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 17.—A rumor that will uot .down and that is believed by prominent business men In this city Is to tiie effect that the Canadian Pacific bas secured options on the lnterur- ban railway and ou the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumber company's site near the Puyallup river. The Canadian Pacific is known to be anxious io get into Tacoma, It is generally conceded that it has obtained right of way as far south as Seattle, under the guise of an electric railway company, Tlie St. Paul Mill company has been buying laud, it. is saldfl across the bay near Brown's point and it is rumored that an option has been given on the present site. Thc St. Paul mill location is the finest iu the city lor railway terminal yards. The Interurban property joins the property supposed to be owned by the Canadian Pacific in Seattle, aad could easily be made to join with tlie St. Paul mill property. NOT WILLING TO SUBMIT. Ac- Korea Still Entertains Dreams of tual Independence, Seoul, Korea, Nov. 17.—Marquis Ito, In a four hours' audience with the emperor yesterday, submitted the Japanese program for a protectorate over Korea. Tills provides for tlie political status of Japanese residents of Korea, open ports and the turning over of the management of Korea's foreign affairs to Japan. Today the emperor laid the Japanese proposal before the cabinet, lt lfl said that if tbe Japanese proposal is uot accepted complications will follow and that the Korean government will eventually bo obliged to submit. The emperor and the court are not yet willing to recognize their loss of independence. CONTEMPT OF THE LAW.

There should be no need for a newspaper to have to ask such questions as tho foregoing. The reports of the Insurance companies to tlie government should contain a statement setting forth in detail tho salaries paid to all the principal officials, commissions of general ageuls, basis upon which commission Is paid to canvassers, the exact dividends earned by the capital invested In tho company and the actual earnings of the company from all sources, with a record of the investments made.

If, as the Globe and other eastern papers contend, there hag been no uils-manage- mont and no improper diversion of the earnings, then tho investigation will simply tend to tho glorification of Canadian Insurance institutions. The conditions exposed In the New York investigation have created a feeling of distrust in the public mlhd concerning all insurance companies and the best and surest way to allay that distrust, so far EDITORIAL NOTES. That R. B. Bennett, the defeated conservative leader in Alberta, was nut very sincere in his campaign ls clearly shown by his announcement that he is now out of politics. A man who gets cold feet so early in the game never had much interest in it and certainly is not the type of man for a political party to impose confidence in. The scrutiny of challenged votes In the Calgary election has heen completed and the official recount Is to take-place today. In the event of R. B. Bennett being counted in, it is understood that he will retire und allow Hon. Vt, H. Cushing to be elected unopposed . In an editorial devoted to the work of the Lord's Day Alliance, the Toronto Globe, in somewhat obscure language, suggests that the Alliance will in the near future endeavor to secure legislation not only for the purpose of compelling men not to work on the j Sabbath but with a view to dictating how the Sabbath shall he observed. Whilst the Globe does not opeuly endorse such a course it puts in a little special pleading for interference on tho part of the state along lines sympathetic to religious uses of the Day of Rest. There is much apparent confusion of thought in the Globe's article. The reader might fairly infer that the Globe believes that the non-church attendant is necessarily pagan and immoral, and the article certainly suggests the Idea that tbe pagan is non-moral. Ethics and morality are not creations of the churches, The Dominion W. C. T. U. have not only discovered the practice of polygamy In Alberta, tbey are now hot ou the scent of child-marriages in Manitoba. One member knows of girls of thirteen and fourteen being sold by their fathers to elderly men for sums ranging from ?25 lo $30. By the time the W. C. T. U. get through this fair Canada of ours will be proved to be a very sink of Iniquity. STRIKE ON I'OORMAN. Lessees Discover Free-Milling Gold of Good Grade. A strike of good ore Is reported from the Poorman mine at Granite, a few miles west of Nelaon. The new discovery consists of free-milling gold ore. Tbe operators are reticent about details but say that the ore is tbe best over found lu the mine. The Poorman has been worked on lease and bond many times, usually with only fair success. The present lossees, Messrs. Williams and Gough, have worked it before, and always believed in Ita value though lhe early buds were disappointing, y It Is said that the new discovery is quite extensive and that the average value carried is in the neighborhood of $25 to the ton. The strike has stimulated work in the Granite district, where already many properties were being worked uu a small scale. The Eureka, a cupper claim, which J. A. Kirkpatrick is working on a bond, is developing well, aud gives excellent promise. The ore has assayed as high as 15 1-2 per cent copper, and Mr. Kirkpatrick thinks the average of the best ore is about ten per cent. Shipments are kept up regularly to the Trail smelter. When work on the road from the mine to the Granite station is completed the shipments will amount to two cars a week. NOT GOING TO MIDWAY R.

Following the lead of thc curlers the ihockey players of Nelson Intend to organize for tho winter without delay, A meetiug for that purpose will he held in the Hume hotel next Tuesday evening at S o'clock. While it is not expected that the hockey season can begin for at least a month under the most favorable circumstances, it is imperative, If there Is to toe any hockey in Nelson during the coming winter, that prompt steps .should be taken to organize and prepare. The chief problem to be faced is that of a rink. It is generally understood that thc Stanley street rink will receive do support from a curling club as it did last year, skaters may trust to tbe weather for ice on thc lake aud river. Curlers aro amply provided for hy the four rinks in Agricultural hall, Dut if a hockey club is to exist it must have a closed aud covered rink, suitable for matches, Nelson has always supported three hockey clubs, senior, intermediate and junior, hut tho two latter cannot he expected to contribute any material sum to the support of the rink. The burden will fall on the senior team. The problem will be one of the chief subjects for discussion at Tuesday evening's meeting. Apart for the flnanacial burden to be (borne, the prospects for the year are exceptionally good. Practically every anembor of last year's victorious team will be in the city during tbe winter and will be in the game. Interest in hookey throughout Kootenay and Alberta has been steadily increasing for many years past, and tbe Nelson team will not have to travel far to meet worthy i'oemen. Their old opponents of Rossland will certainly ho In thc game again, as strong aud as resolute as before. Along the Crow's Nest line, hockey should nourish. Cranbrook and Fernie in East Kootonay, and nearly every town in southern Alberta supports a creditable hookey team. Plneher creek has held the honors for the last three years and lias proved too hard for even the Nelson team. With every prospect for good sport ahead, there Is little doubt that the home team will be accorded all the financial support necessary to maintain Uie rink. The committee requests that not only all hockey players bill all who are Interested In the national winter game, should attend tbe organization meeting next Tuesday, DEATH OF IIK1R APPARENT Count of Flanders Dies and is Succeeded By His Son.

The Dally News has already published a summary of the new education act, and a synopsis of the circular subse- qently issued by the education department. As tbe matter Is one that concerns every citizen of the province who is not a resident of an incorporated city, and is the time for facing the new responsibilities is drawing near, a reminder is not out of place. Circulars are arriving from Victoria in bundles, addressed to men not connected with the schools at all, but who are expected to be sufficiently public- spirited to assist the government in educating tbe people to the performance of their new duties. Thomas Morley has received a number of circulars which he will be pleased to distribute to all interested. Among the warnings contained in tbe circular, the following should be carefully studied by all rural residents; Trustees holding office at the time this Act comes into force shall continue in office and perform all the duties of trustees under this Act until their successors are elected in accordance with tho provisions of this Act. It is the duty of tbe secretary of trustees to post notices calling for tho first meeting for the election of trustees under this new Act. These notices to be posted In at least three conspicuous places in the district, one of which must he the school house. At least ten days' notice must he given of all school meetings. The first meeting for ihe election of trustees under the new Act will be held on Thursday, January 11th, 190C, and thereafter tbe annual general meeting shall be held on the Thursday following the second Monday in January. It shall be the duty of the board of trustees of each rural school district forthwith after the holding of any meeting of such district having power to vote money and at. which money is voted, to furnish the assessor of llie assessment district or of tbe district municipality in which the rural school district, or any part thereof, Is situate, with a list of all persons resident and non-resident who own real estate In such district, and of all residents or tbo district liable to be rated In respect of personal property or income, and of all corporations, firms as aforesaid, and persons, not being residents, liable as aforesaid to be rated ln respect of real or personal property or income in tbe district, together with Uie nature of such property. It shall also be the duty of the board of trustees to fiirnisb to such assessor a statement of the amount determined upon at snob meeting as tbo amount to ho raised in such school district, which statement shall bo certified by the secretary of such hoard. A new prerogative assumed by the education department is contained in the clause; The trusters shall, upon notification from tbe council of publie instruction of the inefficiency or misconduct of the teacher, give such teacher thirty days' notice of dismissal.

To make the best Bread you must have the best Flour. When the dough is flat, sour, heavy, •will not rise,—when the bread is soggy, tasteless, indigestible—then you have cheap and inferior flottr. You may use pure fresh yeast, faithfully adhere to the old-time successful bread making traditions, the methods usually successful—but the baking turns out badly—simply because you have not used the right kind of flour. Royal Household Flour is purified and sterilized by electricity, it is therefore uniformly pure and wholesome. And because it is thoroughly purified it will yield a sweet, wholesome, light sponge that will bake into flaky, deli- ciously flavored, nourishing bread or pastry.
