tondon, April 20.—While the offlelaln
th-ro minimize the importance of king*
Edward's tour of the Mediterranean, It
■cannot be denied that the visits to Oar-
.agena ami Gaeta were more than ex-
■chau-ges of courtesies between the mou-.
:archs of three great ixwers. The presence of sir Charles Hardlnge, permanent under secretary of the foreign offlc j,
and king Bdward's personal advisor in
foreign afl'airs, stamps the meetings as
being more than acts of civility. Si"
■Charles* joined the king upon his nm-
jesly's departure for Biarritz and has
Ibeen at his side ever since and besides,
he has hnd conferences with the foreign ministers of Spain nnd Italy.
That The Hague peace confereuce haa
been one of the subjects discussed cannot he doubted, but lt probably will lie
found that the main interest lies lu another direction. As a prominent diplomat expressed It today:
"Recent events point to the restoration of the Mediterranean to its old primacy by which the relations between
the great powers wefe determined."
What king Edward is aiming at seems,
well-informed persons contend, -to he a
Latin union, supported by Oreat Britain
for the maintenance of the status quo
tin the great Inland sea. Whatever connection Italy has with the plans must
havo arisen since king Edward's departure from England, as It was not until
.after his arrival at Malta that his ma-
jn«?ty Instructed the foreign office lo arrange a meeting with king Victor Em-
sinanuel. Whether there will be ot-har
.conferences has not been made public,
but it Is certain that king Edward's
itour, wliich commenced wilh a friendly
.call on king Alfonso at Cartagena, has
;been gathering importance as It pro-
■gresaed and the British, with the greatest confidence in the diplomacy of thoir
■king:, are looking forward to announcements of agreements, such as that entered into with France.

Ottawa, Ajsril 20.—Tom Godfrey, o[

received a letter from secretary U_viil-
ssiii, of tbe Quebec Rugby union, requesting him to ill—uss the feaslblllly
.of playing a game between the Rough

Use attention of lhe club officials In a

The following loiter wns received by
Mr. Davidson from William Unmak,
who Is American rcisresenlatlve of the

Dear Sir,—I have been appointed offs-
,clnl risprcBontallve nf the Queensland,
Australia, Rugby ts'mu In the United
States. Queensland is sending a representative team ovsss* here to play Call-
fiirnln, British Columbia, nnd other
learns, I would like to plus'u the matier
before your uiiliin with a view of Ihe
t.-in playing u series of International
matches In Qneben province with representative teams. I am also In commuu-
Issatlon wilh Kingston, Winnipeg, Hamilton, etc. I would very much Uhe lo
;talie the team east In Canada, as 1 am
mure thew will there meet teams able
■.to give them a good, strong, friendly
night. They will be a strong team in
every department of the game. Queensland was the only Australian slate tbat
had the honor ssf defeating the last
English Hfteeu that toured Australia.
Tbe expenses for such a long trip will
be very heavy and if you are in favor
of the international matches with the
Australian team. I would like to hear
what your union could tlo in the way
of financial Inducements. The Vancouver union nnd the British Columbia
union have lioth mnde very substantial
cosh guni'anlees and a hadsome gate
percentage as well. The California universities have nil made extraordinary
Inducements und It Is due lo Ihese In-
_itui-iiH thai lhe team Is coming over

for i hens to have iss return lo Australia
without playing some of the reprcBen-

The  total  amount  of receipts  reported
from the local and foreign mines for the
pant  week were 43.0-5  tons nnd  for the
year to date 414,310 tons.
The Daily News is authorized
to state that the men have expressed; confidence in deput y
minister of labor, W. h. Mackenzie King, who was requested'
toy their representatives io come
ito Fernie. Recent meetings between tlte operators ami representatives of the employes have
heen very cordial and both seem
prepared to act reasonably anil
facilitate an early settlement of
the existing dispute.
(Special to The Dally Nows)
Fernie, April 20.—The situation in the
trouble between the Coal company and
employes remains unchanged. The
fans and the pumps at the mines are
still in operation but no miners are
working and not an ounce of coal is
coming out. The result of the meeting
between the operators antl the union
officials whicli is to be held on Tuesday is awaited with anxiety, though the
general feeling is that a soluiion of the
[.resent difficulties will be found and
that operations will soon be resumed.
While a great many miners are applying
for their time upon careful investigation at the railway offices it is tound
Lhat no considerable number have left
the camps permanently, and should
work be resumed nl an early date the
tonnage would not be -Gcreae-stl to any
appreciable extent. Viec-presidciii Lew-
Is or the U. M. W. of A. will be here on
Tuesday and the public feel confident
that, with his broad views and thorough
grasp of Industrial disputes, he will be
able to accomplish much in Ihe way of
an early settlement.
Rossiand, April 20.—Tlie last of tin
coal mines to close down in B. C. and
Alberta, was the Pacific Coal company's
collieries at Bankhead. Alberta, wuere
the men quit today. W. H. Aldridge,
managing director of the Pacific coal
company will leave tomorrow for Fernie to attend the conference of miue
operators aud employes held for the
purpose of endeavoring to end the dispute. The C. P. R. has given notice,
owing to shortage of coal because ot
the trouble, that It will handle no more
freight and today refused small and
large shipments of freight, consigned
from Rossland to Greenwood, Trail antl
other points. The road has only enough
coal for lis passenger trains. Tf the
trouble continues for any length ot
lime it will completely paralyze the
mining, smelting and lumbering industries of the interior of British Columbia, and inflict large financial losses
upon the people. A. B. Meckenzle, secretary of the Rossland board of trade,
was interviewed here today In regard to
the coal mine trouble and situation, and
In response to Inquiries said:
"I cannot understand the statement
made by the Hon. Rutlolphe Lemleux.
minister of labor, In (he bouse at Ottawa yesterday, tliat there was no coal
strike or lockout. There is certainly a
strike in all of the coal mines in eastern British Columbia and Alberto. I
see the statement Is made that the difficulty has arisen out of the posting of
certain notice-. So for as the facts now
appear the only notices posted were by
the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company ai
Fernle and tho international Con! &
Coke company at Coleman. As there are
nine independent companies Involved,
the collieries being located many mile*--
apart, no notice posied by one company
could cause the men to quit work on
others, If there were not. some reason
for quitting work other ihnn the notice
referred lo.'
Mr. Mackenzie further said that n<
Rood purpose could lie served by the
board of trade sending a representative
as proposed, to lhe conference of mine
operators and mine employes to be
held at Fernie on lhe 23rd Instant. Tin-
parties who will necessarily be there ure
fully alive lo the Importance of the
question!-; Involved and are both anxlour
to arrive nt a settlement of their differences. Until they have failed to agrcp
It would be Injudicious for others, no

Orand Forks, April 20,—At a largely
attended meeting of the board of tarde
this afternoon strong resolutions were
wired to the minister of labor, and (he
member for Yale-Cariboo. It was also
unanimously decided to send n de-egalc

need of a settlement of the coal situation.

Phoenix, April 20.—Regarding tlie
situation of Boundary mines nnd smelters, bb affected by the conl situation In
the Crow's Nest Pass and Alberta, the
following sums up the cose ns far as the
till me large companies oneratlng in this
section is concerned.
The Oranhy Co. hns about a ten davs
coke supply nt the smelter for operating
.six furnaces of the battery of eight. Tho
C. P. R. having refused to accept ore
for shipment, the Oreat Northern Is doing It all. and yesterday took out some
2300 tons of Ornnby ore,   This railway
will probably be able to handle the
Granby output as long as the stock of
coke lasts.
Manager Thomas, of the Dominion
Copper Co., who was here yesterday,
staled that Sunday evening his company would be obliged to blow out the
two furnaces at Its Boundary Falls
smelter, having neither coke nor ore,
nor being able to get either hauled, It
is his Intention, however, to keep the
full force of miners nt work, though
some of the muckers will be laid off.
There is plenty of development work
tliat he wishes io go ahead with and will
proceed with that work from this on,
gelling the mines In better shape to
maintain even heavier shipments in the
future, with the new furnace, now about
installed, also to feed with ore.
The B. C. Copper Co. is. In some respects, in the best position of the three
large smelting concerns in the Boundary^ Manager McAllister states that
he has coke sufficient to last for thiee
weeks, if he can persuade the C. P. R.
to raise the present embargo on freight
of every kind, manner or shape, and
haul Mother Lode ore the short throe
or four miles requisite between mines
and smelter. It Is understood that, to
enable tho company to do Ihis, tho B.C.
Copper company has offered to let the
C. P. R. have 15 cars of coat which the
former has at its various mines and
smelter, provided lhe railway will use
thai coal to haul B. C. Copper ore. It
Is not. known yet how the matter will
come out.
Manager Blesol, of the Snowshoe.
like all other mines served only by the
C. P. R., has had to suspend shipments
entirely but will proceed with development, as usual, and put the mine in the
best shape possible for increased output when ore can be handled again,
having considerable new work on hand,
as well.
All of the mine managers will keep
all the men possible at work, and ot
tlie 2000 men, approximately, employed directly ln the mining and smelting
Industries in the Boundary, thus far
there Is no record of any being laid off.
Of course, some of ihe muckers ore
likely to receive a vacation before long.
Not a pound of general frelgh is being handled by the C. P. R. in this section at. present, the company declining
to receive anything whatever.
(Special to The Dnlly News)
Ottawa. April 20.—In the house during tlm discussion on the coal sltua-
ilon in B. C. and Alberta, In which the
western members called for immediate
action to prevent a recurrence of such
a state of affairs as prevailed last winter, Borden declared that if necessary
he government itself should take pvei
the operation of the mines.
In a letter received from Eckstein,
the board representative of the miners,
thnt gentleman says: "As Indicated in
my letter, the situation here Is very
■■Stave and requires the utmost tact as
well as promptness of action on the part
of the board to avert tlie closing down
of nearly nil tlie mines in Alberta and
those of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company. Notwithstanding (he efforts
wliich have been made by the executive
officers of Ihe United Mine Workers ol
America, and also hy myself to all .y
their fears, a large majority of tne nieii
seem lo view the notice served by the
respect Ive operators of an Intended
''linage of conditions to (nke place on
May 10, as capable of coming into operation on Hint date. I am told that such
changes of conditions would create
about n 20 per cent reduction in wages.
These nol ices have been printed on
cardboard and posted up iu conspicuous
places nnd have been very generally
read by the men. They do not read
anylhing outside of the notice and
therefore take It for granted that whai

Paris, April 20.-A despatch received
hcre from Brussels says the Journey of
king Leopold to Paris has   been postpones! until iMonday.   This trip of the
king of the Belgians has arousel much
comment and speculation   in political
circles.   The explanation thereof, which
finds the most credence, but whioh, is
impossible of confirmation, is that king
Leopold win offer to cede the Congo
Free state to France at this interview
with president Fallierles.    France had
enjoyed the right of pre-emption In the
Congo up to lhe slgitlm; of the treaty
of Berlin and this treaty gave king Leopold power to dispose of the Congo state
during his lifetime,   11. has always been
his majesty's intention to turn over the
Congo lo Belgium, but exasperated by
the opposition   of the Belgian   parliament to his views concerning the future government of the state, lt Is said
he would prefer to   hand   it   over   to
France than abanslon his position.
The king Is unalterably opposed to
annexation of the state to Belgium, and
for tho time being seems complete master of the situation. His refusal to per-
mlt the Congo administration to furnish Information concerning the finances of his African state to the parliamentary commission of the country of
which he is the constitutional king,
practically checkmates tlse parliament.
Public opinion In Belgium is divided
on the question. There Is a natural antipathy on the port of many to Belgium
embarking upon a colonial policy.
There Is a large body ot stockholders in
tho concessionary companies who are
content to receive big dividends and no
question asked. Tho commercial class
generally reap Indirectly large profits
from tlse wealth coming out of the Con-
so. and the mass or the people. da„lesl
by tho prodigality of the monarch, his
manifold gifts, the magnificent structures he is constantly building, are In-
dllterent or on the slslo of the ng.
Nevertheless, sentiment In favor of annexation grows constantly.
In parliament the majority Is strongly
convinced that the destinies of the Immense black population of the king's
African possessions, comprising 900.000
square miles, demand that a civil administration amenable to public oplulon
nnd a cabinet responsible to parliament
should be substituted for the Irresponsible will of one man.
Whether the stories of atrocities and
awful exploitation of the helpless blacks
are exaggerated, tho existence at various times and places of the most revolting abuses has been established, and
the advocates of annexation argue that
it Is impossible to prevent their recurrence as long as Ihe administration and
exploitation of this vast territory and
population Is conducted secretly with
the aid of half savage black native lev-
lee.

neither party to the dispute has evinc-

Is desired Is that the busnesB men delegated to confer with the representative* of the operators and of the employee, should forcefully present to them

EDITORIAL  NOTE.
Willi this Issue The Dally News enters
upon Its sixth year of publication, me
past live years have heen of th lean
variety and It has been a problem ol
cuiislsleralile magnitude to make both
ends meet. As n matter of fact, that
problem was not satisfactorily solved
until within tbe past tew months, when
something like equilibrium between operating expenses and earnings was established. The wretched, but very expensive, telegraphic service supplied by
i he C. P. R.. moke II a very costly business to puss,ish a live dally newspaper
in the Kootenays, ns this service has to
lie supplemented by "specials," from all
over the country If our readers are to ho
kept propes-ly informed as to what is
doing. The outlook for the Immediate
future is more hopeful and in order lo
keep pace with Improved conditions.
The Dally News expects shortly to make
certain mechanical Improvements thai
will permit of the publication of n more
attractive looking paper. In the course
of a few weeks we shall he moving Into
new nunarlers and a new press will bc
Installed that will permit us to publlsn
an eight-page paper daily, sloing away
with the Inconvenient and hy no means
attractive Insert now in use. We arc
stating but the plain fact, when wc say
that The Daily News expends mow
money lor telegraphic news than any
other paper ln the province. It has
been the policy of tho management,
since the first issue of this paper, to
endeavor to give the people of Kootenay a live newspaper and to that end an
expense has been incurred thnt past
conditions, so far as available business
returns were concerned, did not warrant. But we had an eye to the future
and this expenditure has been justified
by a steadily growing circulation, so
that today there Is uot a section of the
Kootenny couniry where The Dally
News is not eagerly looked for on the
day of publication by every person who
desires lo keep abreat of the news of the
day.

THIRD FAM ACCIDENT
•GEORGE   MINGHDLL    KILLED    IN
LOCAL SAWMILL
DEATH    DEEMED    TO  BE RESULT
OP PURE MISCHANCE
The third fatal accident In a fortnight
'Occurred yesterday forenoon. The dog-
.ger at the Yale-Columbia sawmill fell
■front the saw carriage just before 12
.o'clock und was instantly kllletl, his
head being crushed between the car-
.j'iage and the 'buffer at the lower end
>of the run. The unl'oHuitato young man,
'George Mluehell. was only _:i years of
.ag_ ami was well known as n bright,
1 •energetic young fellow who bad been
•hiiii'- three or four years with his pros-
wnt employers, The maimer of the ao-
', -ildent is at once ti|-.parent to anyone
•conversant with the method of running
ahe mill but the exact circumstance
•was uot aeen by anyone. There are two
men on the saw carriage, one at either
'end. Tho carnage runs between the
-WW nnd the skid behind on whloh the
Jogs are placed. To prevent it running
r*ii:-> far in either direction buffers are
•pkiced on the line. .Tito carriage, which
If. moved by steam power, Is brought,
.down to ihe logs, one Is rolled upon its
front eiigo and Is gripped by an apparatus and brought along lo the saw, so
■.adjust-d tbat a slab is taken off.   Run:
uing the carriage forward again the log
in this manner Js cut up plank by plank.
It is not able to run too far beyond the
saw as the buffer at that end stops it..
In front of the two men on the carriage is the log and at either hand are
ihe levers by which the machinery [o
catch the log are moved. There is no
rail on the carriage at either end or
back. It is therefore possible to fall off
at either end or at the back.
Deceased was standing between bis
two levers at the lower end of the carriage some three feet or more from the
end when last noticed by his companion. He was somewhat short armed,
being a man of medium height, nnd had
said that the stretch between the two
levers was too much for lilm and he
therefore hud held on by one lever and
a peevy, loosely standing ready in a
socket. What Is thought to have happened is that the carriage ran against
tlie lower buffer causing deceased to
lose his balance, trip against the gthue
rail of the gripping device, alongside
bis left foot, and fall lengthwise, his
head and shoulders thus overhanging
the edge of the carriage. Thla, in the
interim, had rebounded from the buffer,
which Is fitted with a strong _prh.<r,
and again moved to word It. It was during and because of the rebound tliat
Mlnchell Is supposed to have fallen. On
the second impact, which was but momentarily fwparated from the flr_t, the
head of the unfortunate youth was
caught and crushed.
Deceased  lived  u few  minutes after
the accident but never regained coo-
Mlousness, probably never knowing
what had happened to him. He had no
relatives In this country, having a
mother in Cape Colony and a sister on
her way to Mexico.
The coroner has decided Mia. in view
of the circumstances Uie death could
not be considered otherwise than a pure
accident nnd is therefore not holding
an inquest.
To prevent further accidents of thla
description a rail is being fitted partly
along each end of the saw carriage and
by widening the saw carriage and lining the wall of the "building at the
back it will hereafter be almost impossible for any one to fall from tho carriage from ends or back.
CURED OP RHEUMATISM
Mr. Wm. Henry of Chuttnnoona, Tenn,,
had rheumatism In her left arm. "The
strength seemed lo have gone out of the
muscles so lhat it wits muscles so thnt lt
muscles bo lhat it was useless for work,"
he ays. "I applied Chamberlain's Pain
Balm and wrapped the arm In flannel at
night, nnd to my relief I found that lhe
pain gradually left mo and the strength
returned. In three weeks the rheumatism
disappeared and has not since returned,"
If troubled with rheumatism try a few ap-
plloallons of Pain Balm. You are certain
to be pleased with tbe relief which il uf-

tranBferrable sort. When in doubt what
to wear fl 1s safe to select a lace waist

out* of the cheap, elaborate sort that too
many women wear, for a lace waist of
this .son is one ot the most hopelessly common looking ffonnen.s In existence and

claims to good taste. Tho only desirable
waist In the lace class that ea„i ho bad
ready made at a low figure Is built, of
net,  either  plain   Brussels*,   point  de  Paris
or the square mclised "filet" not (hat Just
now holds the lead In fashionable favor.
These waists can be had In excellent models at wry mode.rnte prices and can cosily
bo made distinctive by tlio addition of
trimmings of velvet ribbon, bits of embroidery or perhaps some sort of cloth
that mutches the skirt worn.
Very dainty petticoats are of cambric,

raised Valenciennes flowers, ibe leaves
veined in slmded fllose'.ls, to lhe full blow-*,
flowers of shaded pink and nacre sequins touched with bronze, and made over
a white silk foundation, vel edi in softost
blush rose. The corsage, which was cut
very low, was almost  entirely of embrold-

of knotted heseda sntin. The blending of
o.)lor Is perfection.
Necklets and bracelets of! coral arc at-
fer-ted by decided brunettes or blondes.
The smartest necklet is formed of a. series
of coral carvings strung together with
gold links. The medallions represent rosea
or leaves and are delicately and skilfully
wrought.
A China blue rajah has a beautiful cut

<-pe-i-l to The Dally News)
Press Gallery, Legislative Assembly,
Victoria, April lit.—In the legislature
this afternoon Hawthornthwalte on the
ground of the matter being of gave public importance had the question discussed of alleged strike breakers being
brought to Victoria by the Salvation
Army and being now in destitute circumstances. He introduced it on the
ground tihat ten ship carpenters arrived
the night before and more were coming and that this was the result of an
agreement entered into between the
government and the army. He read a
statement by these men that they had
been misted by the army ami would not
work here, having been assured no strike
was on and were brought out for the
marine works.
Hawthornthwalte wanted the matter
Investigated by ihe government and a
return made 1_ the men for their loss.
He made a hitter attack on the government's policy ln this matter.
Tatlow denied that there were any
arrangements between the government
and the army. Negotiations had been
conducted but no arrangement was
made and the government was in no
wis© responsible If the statement- were
true.
When the motion of Hawthornthwalte
that, the house adjourn until an Investigation was put. only the socialist,*- ami
Jar-dine voted for It
Hawthornthwalte expresses the intention of pushing the matter still further
and bringing in a resolution delaying
business, If something be not done.
In committee the bill to confirm nn
order in council authorizing special license*- in Southeast Kootenay caine up
for discussion hut was laid over again.
■Macdonald thought that there were
features in the bill which meant repudiation in case of those who applied as
early as 1901 and yet were refused by
the government the statutory privilege
then in force. Longer time should be
given to allow litlagUon to be disposed
of, those interested could not be expected to comply with the act by putting ln expensive machinery while the
mater was in litigation. The bill stood
over.
The university bill passed third rending at, the evening session.
On report in the afternoon MacGowan
(government) spoke against lt He
contended that the bill was 111 considered before being Introduced. He also
objeoted to commercial Intei-Wta being
overlooked by rejecting provision for a
commercial faculty. He also thought lt
was not fair to the royal Institution
provided for last session.
He voted against the bill, but Munro

THE LAURENTIAN MIN Is. has a complete plant and equipment, including —-stamp gold mill, cottages
for employees and other necessary improvements.   The mine is ln successful operation and producing gold.
EMINENT CANADIAN GOVERNMENT GEOLCIQISTS AND O'lHE- MINING ENGINEERS declare that

and that the rich ore should contimue ln depth several thousand —et.

"Anthony Blum is destined' — be one of America's mining millionaires. A short time ago a contract was
let to sink 60 feet on one of his mining locations. At a depth of 25 lVei or thereabouts phenomenally rich
ore was struck, which produced the greatest excitement The contractors endeavors— to keep the matter a
close secret until Mr. Blum (thois In Boston) could be communicated with, but as is the case In the history of
all great discoveries, the news leaked out, and now great preparations are being made to thoroughly prospect
the unexplored territory of the district on the advent of spring. Independently of the rich strike at 25 feet, the
quartz, which is of a dark blue color had a fine grained texture, has panned very freely right from the grass
roots."—Wablgoon Star.

FOOTBALL ENTHUSIASM
One Hundred Thousand People Witness Pinal In English Cup Ties.
London, April 20.—Fully 60,000 enthusiastic admirers of football arrived
In I-.union today from as early as 3
o'clock In the morning on special trains
to witness tho final game ln the English cup ties at the Crystal Palace between Bverton. Uie holders of the trophy, and Sheffield. With the contingents from the south the managers estimated that fully 80,000 perosns came
to Ijondon to see tho game. The metropolis furnished Its full quota, bringing
the total up to about 100,000. By tbe
time the game was opened the standing
room waa packed. All the seating capacity at the groundH was sold a week
ahead.
Sheffield kicked off and -cored a goal
within 20 minutes. Everton then became the aggressor hut Sheffield  put
up a fine defence and lt was not until
just before the end of the first half that
the holders of the cup were able to
equalize matters.
At what is known In football here us
"three-quarter time" the score was unchanged. During the last quarter bot'i
sides put In their best work. There
were many exciting rushes but tlie
teams wore so evenly matched that
neither was able to score for some time.
Then one of the Sheffield forwards got
the boll and with a well-directed kick
won a second goal. Everton was unable
lo score after Lhat and Sheffield captured the coveted trophy. The defeat ot
the holders of the cup, who wore strong
favorites, led to the wildest Bcones of
excitement. Lord chief justice Alver-
storie presented the cup to tho winners.
