NO 121 MOB LOOSE IN VANCOUVER —. ■ i Japanese and Chinese Quarters Visited and Windows Are Smashed, But No Violence Done—Lieut.-Gov. Dunsmuir Burned in Effigy Outside City Hall-Police Helpless (Special to Tlie Dally Newe) Vancouver, Sept. 7.—As this article ie heing written a mad mob Is running wild In several quarters of the city wreaking destrlction to property on every hand. Police admit they are powerless to cope with the situation and although all available men are massed in the affected districts, the mob I. pursuing its work ot destruction. The temporary rule of the mob is the result of an anil-Japanese mass meeting called to meet In the city hall this evening, The building could not begin to accommodate the great crowd and an overflow meeting was Inaugurated at the doors. Under the inspiration of the speeches some of which bordered on incendiary, the lower element of the crowd broke loose, and with one impulse formed Into a mob. With the cry of "Down with the Japanese," they marched to the quarter where this race dwell and started a riotous demonstration. All along Powell street, fully a quarter of a mile, they pressed, hurling stones and bricks at every window, threatening danger to the Japanese occupants. These, who had remained within doors generally during the night, cowered in fear under the furniture of their room., not knowing what the next move would be. Then the crowd took up the cry of "Down with the Chinese," and the procession headed for that quarter of the city. Here the sarnie policy of destruction to the property was followed on every side, and the massive plate glass windows of large blocks were (broken, not a single house in the district escaping the wrath of the mob, and the few Orientate who were not under cover, hid themselves in fear and through the broken windows the occupants of stores could be seen crouching on the floor. No word could be said against the destruction so fierce was the ardor of the mob and advice of cooler heads was hooted and jeered at. A hurry call waa Mot for the police reserve and though every available man wa. sent the rioters simply laughed at their efforts. As fast as a rioter was seizer this mob snatched him from the police and took him off in a cab. So far no personal violence has been inflicted, but the property loss is probably up in the thousands. It Is understood thnt consul Morikawa has already been appealed to and asked to demand redress of the government. The mass meeting began under auspices which, if ihe Incidents ab-v. noted, bad not occurred, would have be.n most sensational. A crowd numbering over three thousand, marched behind several bands of music through all the principal street*, of the city. In the middle of the procession was an effigy of Dunsmuir with a banner stating that this was to be burned before the city hall. The cool heads of the movement protested against this action but without avail and before tbe procession filed into the hall the burning of the effigy took place in front of the building, the crowd shouting and cheering as the figure was consumed by flames. Within tha hall the meeting was o_ a more temperate character and among the speakers were several of the most prominent clergymen of the city. Revs. G. S. Wilson, H. W. Fraser and R. MU'iken, W. Von Rynes presided and among others were G. M. Woodwarth, president of the conservative association; A. E. Fowler, o£ Seattle, secretary of the anti-.xclusion league, and Mr. Young, organizer of the American Federation of Labor. Oddly enough, while the mob wa's doing its work outside, several of the speakers deprecated strongly the incidents occur- ing at -.elllngham in connection with the recent driving out of Hindus. The police have thrown a cordon around the Chinese and Japanese quarters and no person Is allowed to enter. In this manner quiet ls being gradually restored but there Is 'still fear of further outbreak and the flre department haB been called out to aid in breaking up any further demonstration. Complaints have come to the police station by the hundreds, coming in bo fast that the officers could not take them over the 'phone. One case of personal Injury is reported In the Japanese quarter. An old man was sitting by a table when a rock came through the window striking him ln the face and knocking out several teeth and severely Injuring htm. It Is thought that other similar cases will he reported tomorrow when the Japanese emerge from seclusion. The civic officials and the real leaders of the anti-Japanese movement deeply deplore the mob incident and say they will do all in their power to get at the leaders of the riot. The police were successful in landing only two prisoners in Jail, the present charge against them .being merely malicious mischief. It took the entire force of reserves to get these prisoners through tlie mob. FORT WILLIAM TERMINAL BIO li.ir__VEMENTS UNDERTAKEN BV C. P. R. MILLION TON DOCK IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED.

WHV AMERICANS GET BRITISH CONTRACTS. Perth, Scotland, Sept. 7.—War secretary Haldane ln a speech delivered at Abernethy today threw som; light on the reasons why army contracts for meats and horseshoes had been given to Americans. When he assumed office he found that protectionist principles had got Into the army administration and that the nation was paying a deal too much for many things. He found, for example, that there was a clause tn the contracts for the anny rations that the meat must be home bred and home fed. The tenders were so low that lt was impossible to supply British meat on them but still they were much higher than It this clause had been absent. Foreign meat was supplied, in spite of the clause, by Instituting free trade and throwing open the door for outside tenders. The soldiers were supplied with the same good quality of fofcign meat as before but the nation was saved f.om 1250,000 to $500,000 on this contract alone. This sum waB the cost of maintaining a batalllon of troops and an additional battalion was preferable to a pretended supply of beef grown ln this country. Referring to the horseshoe contracts Mr. Haldane said there was such things as understandings among the manufacturers of this country when the war offlce was the bird to Ibe plucked. He threw this contract open, saved from 16 to 17 per cent on the price and got a quicker delivery by taking American horseshoes, and tbls in spite of the fact that better wages are paid ln America than In this country.

WEIOURNED No Documents of Lumbermen Forthcoming G.P.WELLS ON THE STAND INVESTIGATION INTO ALLEGED LUMBER COMBINE PROCEEDING AT EDMONTON—DENIAL OF EXISTENCE OF ANY ILLEGAL ORGANIZATION. Edmonton, Sept. 7-Tlie preliminary hearing of the case against the ^'enr-ers fr>. the Alberta Retoll Lumber Dealers' association was continued before inspector Worsely yesterday at the barracks. Three witnesses were examined, the secretary of the local lumber dealers 'association; A. M. Grogan, secretary of the provincial association, and George P. Welts secretary of the Mountfl|n Lumbermen's association, who has been succeeded1 in this office by Mr. Anstle. Mr. Bennett made the same objections to the evidence of tills witness as he did to the previous day to thnt of Mr. Grogan. Mr. Wells, like Mr. Grogan hnd destroyed all the documents that were submitted to the parliamentary committee. When court adjourned last evening Mr. Woods asked for the documents of the former secretary that lie might go over them and so shorten the examination of tho witnesses by traversing1 only essential grounds. Mr, We Is staled that he had nothing, that all the letters and documents had been destroyed. Ills successor na 'secretary wns present nnd Informed the court that the Mountain Mills association kept no minutes of their meetings. Bylaws had been drawn up but never adopted and that his productions to submit to the court Would be .small, but he wou.'d oheerfu'Iy -hand them over for the Inspection of the deputy attorney genera! In order to expedite tho tni-tnesa before the court. Mr. Weils swore the local organization Was merely a conference but it eoBt $10 to Join. He suld the organization had no connection with the provincial orgnnlzn- tion, Although th*2 were nil members. Mr. |Grognn in reply to n question (by Mr. Woods admitted thnt he burned at.* papers besides those mentioned In yesterdays' evidence n tho preliminary report-. • "* .burned a stack like that, of these," snld he. Indicating n height of one and a hv.it feet. "What documents have you in your possession?" "We haven't any. Wo burned them up as they were received." "Why did you do that?" "We hnd nl use for tbem." "The Ottawn Investigation has taught you n lesson?" remarked Mr. Woods. Mr. Wet's was then put on the stand. lie lives In Nelson and wn. secretary of the Mountain Mills 'association, but resigned in June, before the documents enme back from Ottawn. ■Asked whnt nbout the documents he burned; he snid lie never talked with Grogan iu reference to burring the documents. Ho snld he retniued whnt were necessary for his successor. He destroyed the minute books; he thought It wns dead matter and quite unnecessary, so were the bylaws nml price lists giving the reason for the organization of the retail association. Tlie witness gave it ns his opinion that the targe mills by opening up yards In Alberta made the small mills hot. They thought tho big mills would eut prices, hence the association was necessary to control the prices. Mr. Woods read from the books of the Mountain association nnd minutes thnt no shipments be mnde to Minneapolis. Mr. ■Woods wnnted to ftnd1 out whether this minute wns carried or not at the meeting at which it wns mnde. Mr. Wells gave lt as his hest recollection tbat the minute was dropped. The witness further stated that there was a general understanding nmong the members of the nssoclntfon that they should on.'y deal with legitimate dealera "That position hns been communicated to tbe Alhertn association?" "Yes, I have no doubt they understand that." Mr. Woods then rend from Mr. Beckers' report to the Alherta association, who (Becker) stnted thnt a committee of four, Including Mr, Wells, waited1 on Mr. Boyn- tnn of the Elk River Lumber compnny of Fernle. The witness remembered having a talk with Mr. Rnyntnn nnd ndvlsed him it wns bad business principles to break the rules of the association. Tbe witness further admitted thnt Mr. Becker's report na read In Ottawa evidence was correct and thnt he must hnve received In- formntlon from the Mountain nssoclntlon. ♦ ♦ ♦ CLIFF HOUSE.

FREEDOM FOR FINLAND DRAFT OF NEW CONSTITUTION ADOPTED BY FINNISH SENATE PEOPLE WILL HAVE ABSOLUTE CONTROL OF THE FINANCES B-_8K-.AT.Tj ATHLETES Toronto, Sept. 7-Jnck Thoney o' the Toronto ball team, was given a trial at 100 and 170 yards todny In preparation for ht. race with Rowntree of tbe Tecumschs. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—An Associated Press correspondent has obtained a draft of the next constitution for Finland, which -was submitted recently to the emperor by the Finnish senate for presentation during the current session of the diet at Helsingfors. This document, which is designed to replace to antiquated constitutions of 1772 and 1789 the ukases issued by emperors at various periods, and other precedents, In part legendary, under which the grand duchy of Finland has been governed, is the fruit of 12 months' labor on the part of the senate. It begun with the sanction of his majesty and co-operation of the governor general. It ls of the utmost importance to the grand duchy. It effects sweeping changes in the regime now in force including a series of notable concessions in the imperial prerogative which fundamentally reshape the relations of the grand duchy to the empire. In this constitution the status of Finland Is defined as that of a semi- sovereign state, bound to Russia by a personal tie only, the Identity of the emperor duke. The sovereign is obliged to govern Finland exclusively through its Finnish subjects and this measure means the banishment from Finnish territory of the Russian army and gendarmes; who now occupy the fort-fled posts. Upon bis slice's ion to th_ throne the emperor duke tikes an oath of ley- ally from hts Finnish subjects. Treaties with foreign powers in so far ns they nffect tho Interests of Finland, require the consent of the diet, nnd the supreme court of Finland created by the constitution and empowered to Judge the constitutionality of the laws. Tlie most weighty Innovations relate to finances, and In this field the people secured fu'. control. The emperor surrenders exclusive privileges of levyng customs duties nnd of allotting disbursements of onlnnry taxation which he hitherto hns enjoyed. Hereafter the right to levy taxes, expend the revenues, raise state loans, Impose n customs tn-ff nnd call the 'men of Finland to military service, will depend upon the concurrence of the diet.

(Special to The Daily Newa) Vancouver, Sept. 7.—The World tonight prints a sensational article to the effect that Dun.muir's action in ignoring the Natal bill was taken at the instigation of the dominion leaders but with the full consent and advice of premier McBride. The main declaration reads as follows: "Information now in the possession of the World, throws a curious light on the matter. It is asserted on what Is deemed competent authority that when McBride reached Ottawa he Interviewed the secretary of state, Hon. R. W. Scott, and said the bill would be disallowed by his advice, and suggested that the Ottawa authorities in turn reciprocate, facilitating his mission to London to the extent of allowing him a free hand to make the best bargain he could of it. Scott was so surprised that he wired to lieutenant-governor Dunsmuir for confirmation nnd got It. Bowser's Act was, therefore, disallowed at the request of the premier of this province." The article goes on to state that Templeman is in possession of later and certain telegrams disclosing the full arrangement and that these will be produced when the proper time cornea. On receipt of the foregoing a telegram was sent Hon, Wm. Templeman asking him as to the accuracy or otherwise of the World's statement. The following reply was received: "Victoria, Sept. 7.—Do not know what Vancouver World has published about lieutenant governor's refusal to ass_»t to Act, ostensibly intended to prohibit Oriental Immigration, and therefor* cannot either confirm or deny accuracy of its statement.

STRANGE IF TRUE The story published by the Vancouver World to the effect that lieutenant-governor Dunsmulr's assent to Bowser's Immigration bill, generally spoken of as the Natal Act, was refused at the re. quest of premier McBrlde In order that he might use this as a means of facilitating hla mission to London, He almost Incredible. Upon receipt of the telegram from our correspondent, covering thts story, we immediately wired Hon. Wm. Templeman for confirmation and received a reply to the following effect, the full text of Mr, Templeman's reply is published elsewhere lu this issue: "Do not know what Vancouver World has published on subject of governor's refusal to assent, therefore cannot either deny or affirm accuracy of Its statement. "All I can say is that it ia within my knowledge that the Ottawa government did not In auy way attempt to Influence the lieutenant governor, who acted altogether on the advice of his ministers." If there be any vestige of truth ln the World's statement, certainly no more cynical action lies to the credit of any politician of any party tn the history of Canadian politics. It means tbat premier McBrlde connived at the Introduction ot a bill to prevent the Influx of Japanese, a bill that he knew would appeal strongly to the electors of Vancouver, which constituency he was then about to open for the reelection of one of his followers, W.

We have done what was possible to ascertain what measure of truth tbere is in the World story In tlie time at our disposal. Mr. Templeman's reply to our query makes It clear that the Ottawa government did not advise tbe lieutenant governor to refuse assent to the bill, which to a certain extent gois to substantiate the authenticity of the World's statement. We took this course, because the charge against the premier Is so serious tbat we should be adverse to accepting it, save on the most unquestionable authority. If true, It means that premier McBrlde sold out this province's opportunity to prohibit the influx of Japanese and other undesirables for the removal of three meaningless words, "final and unalterable" from a British statute. An advertisement appearing elsewhere in today's issue is of more than ordinary interest. The Michel townsite Is being placed on the market. There has been a good deal of dissatisfaction'in the past over the fact that Michel was a closed town, that no lots could be purchased therein and that the coal company could, in effect, dictate who should or should not live and do business there, This cause of complaint will now be removed, But more important in our opinion than the throwing open of the townsite Is the fact that the coal com- St. Isidore, Que., Aug.

Wheeler ls just, down from Alnsworth with a party of the directors of the __rao property some of whom had never seen the mine previously. They were well satisfied with what they saw and have no doubt, as to the future uf the Krao. There Is no attempt being made ut present to ship and indeed it is probable that uo ore will be shipped for a year to come. In the meantimo the levels are all being opened up one by one and the property put in such shape thut when the time lo ship does arrive th.re will be no Ui£EleuHy In making lhat shipping continuous. Some good ore is being tak.n out of the Maeairo and a little leasing is going on aL the Number One. Otherwise Alnsworth is rather quiet just now, says Mr. Wheeler, Up Woodbsny creek i litre are several smalt properties being worked nnd Mr. Wheeler himself is opening up the Gallagher, rather a peculiar property, about six miles back from the lake. Tlie ore ls a carbonate and runs from 87 ounces, the smallest silver assay, upwards, most of it going around 137 ounces to the ton. So far tho shafi is down CO feet and In that distance only two shots have been put In, so soft is the ground. It is a case of shovtlling rather than of picking. Eight tons or ore have been gathered up, looking like sand, and shipments will be made just as soon as rawhiding becomes practicable.

Some samples of ore have been If.light down from the Boston a, property now being opened up about nine miles up Kokanee creek which runs 20 per cent zinc and 70 ounecs In silver.

Today Is flower Sunday at the Methodist church which has been beautifully decorated for the occasion. Both morning and afternoon will be devoted1 to the children who will bring gifts of yet more flowers. The addresses on both occasions will be given by Rev. Stuart Mulrhead of the International Sunday school association. George P. Larsen Is In tho city in bhe Interests of the Spokane fair. He has been negotiating with T. a.

It Is iproboble that aome of the ore which Is exhibited at the NelsOn fair will be afterwards sent on to Spokane. St. Joseph's day anil boarding schools reopened after the summer vacation on Tuesday, bhe 3rd instant. The attendance ihas been larger than other years. For want of room In the school several pupils for the junior olasses could not be admitted this term. It Is sail-factory to note that St. Josephs' eehool can provide for the educational wants of so' many young ladles from the neighboring cities. Most of the boarder, come from Greenwood, Fernie, Rossland and Cranbrook. NEW DYNAMITE TARIFF Protest Being Raised by the Explosive Sellers of the City. The new tariff which the Canadian Pacific railway issued on September 1, dealing with the handling and transportation of high explosives seems calculated to work a hardship upon the small mines and the ranchers of the country. The Ashdown Hardware company, who have several orders for stumping powder and dynamite, which they are unable to fill will take the matter up with the board of trade. In the meantime the local officials of the Canadian Pacific, appreciating the situation, are using their best endeavors, with the authorities to get a modification of the new rules. Under the old system double first class rates were charged on dynamite and high explosives generally but the shipper could send any number of cases he chose, the railway exacting a minimum charge of $5. Under the new ruling the railway will still accept any number of cases but the minimum charge is the double flrst class freight on 5000 pounds. For instance the rate to Slocan City, double flrst class, is $1 a hundred pounds. Thus under the old tariff a buyer ordering terrcase., each being 50 pounds, would have had to pay $5 and this was considered sufficiently onerous. But his case Is today far worse. He can order ten cases if he cares to but he will nave to pay the freight on one hundred, or $50, Take the case of a rancher at Granite, a few miles out of the city, who wants two or three cases to clear up his ranch. The double first class rate ls 42 cents a hundred and under the old tariff he would have had to pay $5 just as if he had to buy 24 cases. Today he must pay $21 freight on those three cases. Most of the smaller mining properties in the vicinity of Nelson don't use more than 10 cases for a season's work. It Is about all that can be comfortably packed Into the mountains. Even larger properties usually buy not more than 10 cases at a time for fear of the explosive deteriorating. Thus, it is claimed, the new tariff will cut down the sale of powder and as powder is necessary for the development of the country tt will also keep back the country just to that extent. ALARMIST CROP REPORTS Montreal. Sept. 7—A special London cable says, Lord Strnthrona Issued tn the press today a .engthy official statement to counteract what he calls the "alarmist emp reports, without justification," He quotes as from tbe minister of the Interior, n number of authoritative estimates nf the wheat crop reaching SO million bushels, which at the increased prices now ruling, would yield a greater cash equivalent thnn the 1MB crop. Some Canadian securities advanced somewhat nn this reassurance, although the trade still botlevea there must be some explanation nf the hardly less authoritative reports of an entirely different con.clej_.on.

The vague, disconnected reports of The Hague peace conference supplied by the Associated PreBS, have so far conveyea to American and C|Mdlai. readers the sale idea that A__Mcan delegate Choate was running the autre show. It will he remembered that recently our despatches contained a brief announcement that Great Britain's delegate presented a proposal re limitation of military expenditure, but the cable report contained no adequate account of the debate nor of the effect of sir Edward Fry's speech and the outcome. The London Weekiy Times just to hand contains quite the best summary of the Hague peace conference proceedings published by any newspaper and from it we reproduce dr Edward Fry's speech on the subject of military expenditures and the subsequent proceedings, which redounded so greatly to the credit of the British delegates: Sir Edward Fry said: Monsieur le President, I have the honor to submit to you on behalf of his Britannic majesty's government a proposal of the highest importance. When his imperial majesty the emperor of Russia convoked the 'first peace conference at The Hague he proposed as the flrst object of Its labors "to seek without delay the means of putting an end to the progressive Increase of armaments on land and sea, a question the solution of which is manifestly becoming more and more urgent In view of the fresh extension which has been given to these armaments," After having taken cognizance of the report of the first committee of the conference, which had been entrusteded with the examination of the question, the conference unanimously adopted the following resolution: "The conference considers that the limitation of the military charges which now weigh upon the world i_ greatly to be desired for Ihe promotion of the material and moral welfare of humanity." Count Muravieff, in his memorandum of August, 1898, addressed to Europe in the name of his majesty the emperor of Russia, said: "Financial burdens constantly on the Increase affect the public prosperity at Its source; the intellectual and physical forces of the peoples, labor, and capital, are to a large extent diverted from their natural appllcition and are un productively consumed. Hundreds of millions are devoted to acquiring terrible agencies of destruction which, though regarded today as the last word of science, are destined tomorrow to lose all value In consequence of some fresh discovery In the same field. National culture, economic progress, the production of wealth, are paralyzed or thwarted in their development. Moreover, the more the armaments of each power increase, the less do they fulfil the object which the governments had in view. Economic crises, due in great measure to the system of armaments a outrance. and the continued danger which lies In this massing of war material, transforms the armed peace of our time. Into a crushing burden which the peoples have more and more difficulty In bearing, It therefore seems evl- dents thai. If this situation were pr..- longed, it would Inevitably lead to the very catnnlysni which lt Is desired to avert, and the horrors of which cause aM humanity to shudder at the thought of It." These words, so eloquent and so true when they were flrst uttered, are today still more forcible and more true. For Monsieur le President, since that date military expenditure upon armies as wil as upon navies has considerably increased. Thus, according to the most exact Information wliich I have received, this expenditure reached In 1S98-—that Is to say In the year which immediately preceded the flrst conference at The Hague —a total of more than £251.000,000 for the countries of Europe, with the exception of Turkey and Montenegro (regarding which I have no information., the United States of American and Japan; while in the year 1906, the similar expenditure of the same countries exceeded a total of £320.000.000. It will thus be seen that in the interval between the two conferences annual military expenditure hag been augmented by the sum of £69.000 000, or more than 1725 millions of francs, which Is an enormous increase. Such is this excessive expenditure which might be em* ployed for better ends; such Monsieur le President, la the burden under which our populations are groaning; such Is the Christian peace of the civilized world In the twentieth century. I will not apeak of the economic aspect of the question, of the great mass of men who are compelled by these preparations for war to leave their occupations, and of the prejudicial effect of this state of things upon genera] prosperity. You know thla aspect of the question better than I do, I am, therefore, quite sure that you will agree with me in the conclusion that the realization of the desire expressed by the emperor of Russia and by the first conference would be a great blessing for the whole or humanity. Is this desire capable of being realized? This is a question to which I cannot supply a categorical answer. I can only assure you that my government ts a convinced supporter of these bigh aspirations and that it charges me to Invite you to work together for the realization of this noble desire. In ancient times, Monsieur le President, men dreamed of an age of gold which had existed on earth in tbe distant pais; but ln all ages and among all nations, poets, sibyls, prophets and all noble and Inspired souls have always cherished the hope of the return of this golden age under the form of the reign of universal peace.

Such was the dream ot the Latin poet for bis age; but today the sense of the solidarity ot the human race has more than ever spread over the whole world. It Is this sentiment that has rendered possible the convocation of the present conference; and It ls In the name ot this sentiment that I request you not to separate without having asked that the governments of the world should devote themselves very earnestly to the ' question of the limitation of military charges. My government recognizes that It belongs to the duty ot every country to protect itself ngalnst Its enemies and against the danger- by which it may be threatened and that every g.vemm_nt has (he right and the duty to decide what Its own country ought to do for this purpose, it is, therefore, only by means of the good will, tbe free will of each government acting in its own right, for the welfare of Its own country, that the object of our desires .can be realized. The government of his Britannic majesty, recognizing that several powers desire to restrict their mlltary expenditure, and that this object can only be realized hy the independent action of each power, has thought It to be Its duty to Inquire whether there are any} means for satisfying these aspirations. My government has, therefor1*, authorized us to make the following declaration: The government ot Oreat Britain will be prepared to communicate annually to the powers which would pursue the same course the program tor the construction of new ships of war and the expenditure which this program would entail. This exchange of Information would facilitate an exchange of views between the governments on the subject of (he reductions which It might be possible to effect by mutual agreement. The British government believes tbat In tbls way it might be possible to arrive at nn understanding with regard to the expenditure which th° states which should undertake to adopt this course would he justified In incorporating In their estimates. In conclusion, therefore. Monsieur le President. I have the honor to propose to you tbe adoption of the following resolution: The conference confirms the resolu- 'lon adopted by the conference of 18.9 ln regard to the limitation of military charees; and. in view of tbe fact that military charges have considerably increased in almost all countries since that year, the conference declares that it Is highly desirable that the governments should resume the Berlous study of this question. The first Britlrh delegate then bowed and returned Mo his -ila_e ot t. _ front bench nm'd che.ru which were taken up In the galleries. M. Nelldoff at once followed, but,be remained rented In the chair while rendinR the declarations which hnd bert communicated In writing to him by Mr. Choate, Am.rlcn and Benor do Villa Urrutla, Spain as well n_ by Dr. Drngo, Argentina, nnd Senor Conahn, Chile. He began by rending: Mr. Chontels declaration. tn the course or the negotiations which preceded the present conform, th gnvrn- ment of the United States considered It to he Its duty to reFPrva the r'cht tn hrlnp forward here the ln.portn.nt subject of the flniiiiitton of armaments, In the hnpp of advancing In .ntnc .mnll decree t'm 'o'tv conception which Inspired the emperor of Russia in his flr«t appeal, Wltlle regretting thnt more progrens I. in the direction Indicated by .his Imperial majesty ennnot bc mnde nt till. moment, we are happy to think thnt there Is no Intention on the pnrt of the nation, to abandon his majesty** endeavors, and we request to be allowed to express our sympathy for the views exp.es.cd hy bis excellency the first delegntc of Great Britain, and to support the proposal which he has just mnde. (Cheers.), At this stane an Important Incident which seemed to have been unexpected by the majority of the assembly, took place, M. Bourgeois, Frnnce. rose In bis p_icc In the body of thc hn',1 and made the following di .'limitInn: Tn the nnme of the French delegation, I declare our support (je declare npnuycr exprewment) of tho proposal formulated by sir Edward Fry and upheld by our colleagues of the United States of America. The first delegate of the French republic, remembering thnt he wn* In 1W» t>ie Initiator of the voeu of the first conference, will perhaps be allowed to express the confident belief that between now and the meeting of the next assembly the etttdy to which thc conference Invites the govern ments in the name of humanity will be resolutely pursued. The declaration of the eminent first delegate of France created a profound Impression, and were received with subdued j applause. M. NeMdoff then proceeded to read the declaration of Spain, in which the first Spanish delegate, Senor de Villa Urrutln, recalled' the fact that his government, at the time when the present conference was convened, had reserved the right of discussing the question of the limitation of armaments, which had been submitted to tho former conference by the tsar, Senor de Villa TJrrutla regretted that circumstances had not permitted the nations to follow out this noble idea, He desired to give expression to the sympathies of the Spanish government with the views ex.-' pounded by sir Edward Fry, and to the hope thnt the endeavors of all the nations in this sense might one dny be crowned with success. M. Nefldoff then rend the declaration., of Argentina and Chile, communicated by M. Drngo and M. Concha In support of tho British proposal. The Argentine and Chilian delegates further communicated the treaty of disarmament which their governments hnd' concluded five years ago, and I to which practical effect hud already been given. M. Nelldoff read tlie text of the treaty and then invited the conference to express Its thanks to the Argentine and Chilian delegations, and, In particular Its appreciation of the work of M. Drago and M. Concha, who had themselves negotiated the treaty, having been in office In their respective countries nt the time. The assembly of the conference responded to tho Invitation of Its president with loud cheers. M. Nefldoff then rose and addressed the conference, ending with the hope tliat sir Edward Fry's resolution would be adopted unanimously. When the president sat down he hardly allowed the assembly a moment to express hy its applause tho general appreciation of his own eloquent and impressive speech. He desired to mako It clear thnt the British vo-U was at once carried and he himself led off the general Capping of hands in order tn testify that the conference assented unanimnus.y to the recommendation conveyed In his own concluding sentences nnd that the voeu was adopted by'acclamation.

WALKER Brooches FRANCO-CANADIAN TREATY. Fear That British Preference Will Be Made to Suffer. Montreal, Sept. 7.—A London cable says Paris telegrams today say that the French government refuses to publish particulars ot the Franco-Canadian treaty, owing to the special desire of the Canadian negotiators to keep the details secret at present. The Morning Post in an editorial says: "If the new treaty achieves its object it seems only too probable that the commercial policy ot Canada will gradually be more and more deflected from the lines established by the Institution of the imperial preference ten years ago. Germany is well known to be only too anxious to secure the benefit of the Intermediate tariff." Other commentators add that Germany ls likely to specially welcome the French precedent. ■ ' - KOOTENAY FRUIT LANDS A conversation heard on Baker street, Nelson, on August 30th, Is as follows: Q.

Winnipeg, Sept. 7.—President sir Thomas Shaiigh nessy of the C. P. R, and a number ot the directors, will visit tbe west again at tbe end of the month, on a tour of inspection. The construction of the branch from Kamloops to Edmonton by way of the North Thompson river will be considered, and superintendent Marpole of the coaat division of the road is at present gathering information which will he submitted to the president and directors on their arrival in the west. The construction of this branch ia regarded as a most important step, aud when completed lt will undoubtedly prove to be one of the greatest ond most potent links in the western system of the road. It will penetrate a country rich beyond measure, which has hitherto remained undeveloped ou account of the lack of railway facilities. It is probable that the party of officials who are to arrive in the weat iu a few weeks will traverse as much of the proposed route as is convenient, while they are in this country.

WELLMAN EXPEDITION Start Being Delayed By Northerly Winds. New York, Sept. 7—A special to the Herald from Paris reports an interview with Walter Wellman. The question whether or not that aeronaut would start for the pole will soon be answered. The wind is now blowing strong from the north, and the American explorer says that unless this was a south wind by September 15th, his attempt would he abandoned this year for the pole. "We cannot leave," .aid Mr. Wellman, "under present conditions for the north wind would drive us south of the archipelago, and an east wind up to Greenland. I want to reach the pole and not to commit suicide." If Mr. Wellman does not find a wind favorable before September 15th he will deflate his balloon and bring it to Paris and wait till August uext year to make his start. CHARGED WITH FRAUD.

There will be a special meeting of the Women's Hospita. aid at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon In the Presbyterian school room to make arrangements for refresh- menla at the fair.

Faulds Brothers Accent Challenge of the Sllverton Men and Will Drill. Much interest all over the district is being evoked by the drilling contest which Is likely to prove one of the best drawing features of the Nelson fair. The success of M-Glllivry and his partner at Sandon recently ln lowering the record of the Faulds brothers has created a spirit of emulation which is likely to bring quite a number of competitors to Nelson, especially after the action of the fair directorate in hanging up a substantial purse to the winners. So far the entries are confined to the three teams from Silverton and to the Faulds brothers of Greenwood, who yesterday notified F. Starkey of their entrance but it ls not at all likely that the other minim* camps will fail to be present. Rossland has 900 miners working and there is more than one team of good drillers amongst them, men who are to be feared, inasmuch as they are used to drilling in the hard diorite ot the Rossland camp, one of the hardest rocks in the whole countryside. Then Alnsworth Is also a likely competitor while the men of Ymlr and Erie and Salmo quite fancy them selves. Frank Phillips has promised to look after the competition and he will not fail to bring in all the men he can. The rules of the contest as to the dividing of the purse will be left to the competitors who will say whether the winner is to take down the whole $300 or whether there shall be first and second or more prizes. Also whether a fee shall be charged each team entering and if so If that fee shall be added to the purse. TRIAL OF PETTIBONE.
