CORROBORATED BY STATE'S EVIDENCE. (Special to The Dally News) Boise, Idaho, July 26.—All unprejudiced observers claim tbat senator Borah's address to ^e Haywood Jury this morning was one of the greatest legal arguments ever heard in any court. Borah subdivided his remarks under the following heads: 1st.—Did a conspiracy exist 2nd.—Was the defendant a member of that conspiracy? 3rd.—Is Harry Orchard telling the truth? 4th.—Is there sufficient corroborative evidence to connect Haywood with the conspiracy, aside from Orchard's con- As evidence of the conspiracy, Bora'i lobit up Be,c_t iaoi and ct-cuhifitaiiC- _u.- roundiug itie murder vl Ste.neaber^, Uie tact tliat tne assassin was an expert In committing the deed and ar- ranging his gateway, the fact that ne evidently has associates, the letter from Haywood to Mrs .Orchard at the same time Orchard and Simpkins were plant- lug a bomb under tbe sidewalk for Steunenberg, the fact that a great labor leader like Simpkins was in Caldwell under an assumed name and associating with Orchard, the fact that Bill Easterly In Silver City had received letters and telephone messages from Orchard, a; Thomas Hogan, the fact that Marion Moore hau carried a letter for Orchard to Alaska to deceive Mrs. Orchard, tb* readiness with which Orchard confided ln Copley, another Federation leader, his connection with the Bradley affair, the fact of the unsigned letter ln Pettlbone's handwriting to Orchard in tho Caldwell Jail, the draft of $100 from Haywood to Jack Slmpklns on December 21st, the fact that this 9100 was paid to attorney Miller on January 4th; Fred Miller's telegram to Orchard on January3rd; Simpkins telegram to Haywood on January 4th; Miller's starting for Caldwell, and turning back; the subsequent retainer of $1,500 paid Miller to defend Thomas Hogan; the close Intimacy of Orcnard with the Federation leaders; the registered letter and telegraph money orders from Pettibone to Orchard, under assumed names; all these, said Borah, were facts proved outside of Orchard's confession, showing a conspiracy to murder Steunenberg. Borah put Haywood, Moyer, Pettibone, Simpkins and Orchard in the list of conspirators. He said one had confessed, one was a fugitive from justice and a third dare not go on the stand to testify. A feature of Borah's address was his readings from the Miners' Magazine, and his comments thereon. Borah swept aside all Colorado matters as immaterial. At the evening session Mr. Borah occupied an hour and twenty minutes. He took up a number of features of the case, showing how Orchard had been corroborated very fully with respect to his intimacy with the officials of the Federation. Taking up the Independence depot explosion, he said it Gad been settled that Orchard did set off that mine. Orchard declared Steve Adams assisted him. There was just one man who could give Orchard the lie If he had testified falsely; that was Steve AdamB. Tbe latter was here in the control of the defense. They ware defending blm for a murder in the northern part of the state, but they did'nt put mm on the stand.to <.-_.__wii?-. Orchard. . Mr. Borah mane a vory powerful presentation of the future of the matter, declaring there was no reason, consistent with that of the claim of Innocence of these men, why Adams ahould not bave been put on the stand to testify relatle to these Colorado -natters; but, like Pettlbone, his tongue was silent. Again Borah took up the plea of justification for violence made by Mr. Darrow, and he UBed this aB a terrible whip with which to lash the defense. Haywood declared o nth. ■ and that men Uk. justices Goddard and Gabbert were corrupt tools of capital. Darrow had pleaded that violence on the part of working men against the employing class was justifiable. It was therefore easy to understand how Haywood and his co- defendant would plan acts of violence in carrying on their so called war. Mr. Borah said that in Idaho there was no known method of adjusting difference., excepting those provided for by the statutes ln the orderly procedure of the courts. The senator's cioBlng was strong. He _poke in low tones, calling the attention oPthe Jurors to the great duty laid upon tbem. If the case had not been proved, he said, the defendant must go free, but if It had been proved, justice must be done In .he name of an outraged state whose laws had been broken and whose authority had been defied, Judge Wood announced tbat there re mained some instructions to be settled, these having just been handed In, and he would charge the jury at ten o'clock In the morning. (Associated Press) Boise, July 20—Servitor Borah continued hie argument for the prosecution In the Haywood trial this morning. As earily aa 7 o'clock the court house doors were be- «e!ged by hundreds seeking admittance to the limited court room. Inaide the court as the next the last day of the trial began, Haywood -ftt surrounded by his fam'ly. Hla invalided wire, wtiOBe helpless conation and pallid face have attracted so much attention and sym- pfltry, sat immediately ot his right and next to her was the gr«y haired mother, who yesterday could not restrain the tears, which wetted1 to her eyes as Clarence Darrow made the last plea for the life of her son. The prisoner's daughter and s'stcr were .also in the family circle. Mrs.. Frank Steunenberg, the wife of the murdered governor, and her stalwart son, Julian, were early in the o:ut room and when they had been shown to seats Inside the attorney's rail, found' themselves w'th- in seven or eight feet of Haywood himself. Attorneys from many cities in the west constituted a large proportion of today's b'g assembly. Senator Borah began by reviewing brier- ly the points made in the opening hour ot hi- address to the jury last night. He said he woul go briefly over the trail or blood left by Harry Orchard, taking fl"st the murder of governor Steunenberg, nnd harking back over some of the meet Important Incidents, developed ln the testimony. "I hardly need telJ you sensible mtn," declared the pleader, "that Pinkerton detectives 'had1 nothing to do with the assassination of Frank Steunenberg. That is one of the mnst absurd of the many absurd things, brought Into the case by the learned counted fo* the defense." Senator Bovnh In 1 y'ng the fminrtition for his argument cf c.nsp!r_cy, pl.t-d out that Orchard went to C ldwall f om Denver and f.esh from ass cat on with the officers of the Western Federation nt Miners, who regarded Steunenbere as nn enemy, Harry O chard left Denver with crime in hla hea't. said the spe.iker. tho Impelling, compel.'ns force came from Denver. "George Pettlbone helped Orchard pack his utensils in his trunk. Why Is Pettlbone not here to deny it? H's s lence is n confession of his guilt. Pettibine's absence Is nn absolute corroboration of Orchard's testimony." 30th and Slat. The disaster which befell the great lumber booms early on the morning ot the 15th of June last, has been far- reaching in consequences. The Immediate result was a scarcity of lumber, but one of the remote effects has been to delay the arrival ln this city of large quantities of Alberta bluestone from the western lands and mine company's quarries up river. Hon. W. F, Finlay, minister of agriculture of Alberta, leaves tomorrow for Medicine Hat, Mr. Finlay will spend two days at bis home at Medicine Hat and will then leave with his family for Ireland. He will make one or two stops between Medicine Hat and the Atlantic, and will sail for Ireland on August 9th on the Empress of Ireland. Mr, Finlay will be absent for two months on private business, BANK CLEARINGS YELLOW_PERIL MacPherson and Morikawa in Open IS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST EFFORT TO REDUCE FREIGHT RATES INTO NELSON HiBIGHT COMMISSION TO BE ASKED TO ADJUDICATE The special committe of the beard of trade appointed for the purpose of looking Into the matter of discrimination In the freight rates against th:_ city met last nght in the 30,000 club and came to the eoncluson that the question had beet be taken up at once with the freight commission and that 8. 8. Tay.jr be Instructed to present the Nelson case at a time convenient to' the commiss.on which will be in Vancouver at the end of the month. There were present F. Starkey, H. G. Goodeve, W, H. Jonee, E. K. Beeston, A. iW, Dyer, G. .V. McBrlde and P. Cl.o-pn.an, Mr. Beeston presenting the case on which he had be.n at work since last November. Air. Beeston's report was a mn-.-. of figures, going Into the case In detail, showing not only the abstract rates but concrete Instances wherein Nelson was discriminated against !n favo. of Vancouver and other points. The immediate matter, however, com'ng up before the committee was a report from the expert cmp.oycd by the commission dealing with Vancouver, being a report on caie No. 10. before the commission, eastbound rates from Vancouver vs. westbound rates from "Winnipeg. This report dealt cleverly w'th the whale matter in an exhaustive manner and strongly favored Vancouver. The argument was based on the seaborne rates showlnp that Vancouver had a right to lower railway rates s'nee the railways were obliged to meet the seaborne freight. The case for Vancouver Is that the commission should establish a rule thnt no point between a point In Alberta, say Macleod, and the coast should be charged a less freight rate than the through rate to Vancouver pnis the local rate back to that point. The effect of th's would be to entirely do away with wholesale business li) Nelson and would still further increase the cost of living in th's.city, already higher than In any other c'ty In r- trust until be should have found employment. Immigration,^ officer Monro thought this an amicable arrangement between the consul and the men. but your correspondent noticed that when an Immigrant attempted to pass without depositing any money, he was quickly yanked back on tbe steamer. J^ews of the action was hurried to Mr. MacPherson, city solicitor Cowan, and the trades and labor men and in a few moments the wharf was the scene of angry altercation. Mr. MacPherson demandod - that the levy on the men cease at once and that the amounts taken he refunded. He told Dr. Monro that It was a flagrant breach of British Justice and the immigrants were liable to believe that the dominion authorities were getting the money. Morikawa attempted to explain but MacPherson and Cowan insisted on the point and finally the consul yielded and the men were given their money back. Morlzan, wbo bad charge of the contingent on the Kumeric, stated that the men came over on their own account at the Instance of the Honolulu agency and would he placed here by local agents. He said tbere were seventy- five thousand Japanese in Hawaii, many of whom were dissatisfied with the wages and conditions, and they expected to come to Canada as long as no head tax or restriction was Imposed. It was probable tbat another steamer would brlug fifteen hundred more shortly. Only eight of the Kumerlc's passengers were rejected. As far as can be ascertained locally, lt Is understood that over half of the immigrants will be sent to the prairie sections of the G. T. R. Others will locate .on the Fraser during the cannery rush, a Targe number being taken di rect to Steveston tonight. The liberal association has declared Its stand on the Japanese question by the passage of tbe following resolution: "Whereas a large Influx of Japanese labor Into this province is detrimental to our beBt Interests and threatens to unsettle all labor conditions, therefore be It resolved that this executive strongly urge upon the dominion government the necessity of taking immediate action by arrangement with the government of Japan, otherwise to restrict such immigration, and further that this executive strongly approves of the steps taken by R. G. MacPherson, M. P., ln the matter." This resolution was wired to Laurler. A sidelight of the number of Japanese about Vancouver was revealed today when postoffjre officials, stated, referring to the appiica.lon uf Japanese at. a locsl branch office, '.ha: n}ne thousand Japanese sire now receiving their mall' In this city. *************************** ♦ ♦ ♦ NBW CvAST HOTEL. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ (Special to The Dally News. ♦ ♦ Vancouver, July 26.—A build* ♦ ♦ ing permit was taken out ehre ♦ ♦ today for the construction of a ♦ ♦ sixteen-story steel frame hotel ou ♦ 9 Hastings street to cost a quarter ♦ ♦ of a million dollars.

London, July 26.—The divorce court today handed down a decree granting lady Bagot of Rugley, formerly Miss Lillian May of Baltimore the restoration of her rights as a wife. Lord Bagot was sued on the ground that as allowance of 14,000 to his wife wM hot sufficient for her maintenance and that of her baby daughter, Barbara, He left his wife soon after the christening of tbelr child. It Is understood that lord Bagot before his marriage signed an agreement that all the children born of the union should be brought up In the Roman Catholic faith, but Jurist- held tbat such a contract was not binding. Counsel for lord Bagot announced today that the defendant did not propose to resist the claim. In the event of lord Bagot not obeying the decree of the court, lady Bagot will be In a position to sue for divorce on the ground of desertion. SENT TO PENITENTIARY. Italian Given Two Years and a Half For Stabbing—-Fernie Inquest, (Special to The Daily News) Fernie, July 26.—Joseph Qualtire, the Italian who seriously stabbed a fellow countryman named Frank A. Marasco on Tuesday, was today arraigned before his honor judge Wilson in tbe criminal court and charged with unlawfully wounding. The evidence of all the witnesses was strongly against the accusal and he was found guilty and sentenced to two years and six months in the New Westminster penitentiary, his honor expressing his intention of dealing severely with cases of tbls nature. At the perllminary bearing the case was prosecuted by chief of police A. Sampson, and in the criminal court H. W.

He was 88 years old. CLEMENTS IS PROMOTED C. P. R. AGENT AT GRAND FORKS GOES TO COAST. FAREWELL ____CE_>TION IS GIVEN BY I. 0. O. F. Grand Forks, July 26.—A. L. Clements, C. P. R. agent in this city, has received news of his promotion to an important position in Vancouver. Mr. Clements has been in charge of the local station ever since the rofcd was built to this point, viz., in 1899. He has beea an excellent servant for the company, and an energetic and useful citizen, having done good work as an alderman during 1905 and 1906. Mr. Clements leaves for Vancouver early next week. The rapid development of traffic at the Vancouver end of the C. P. K. has ^necessitated a re-organization of the methods and it Is understood that the Grand Forks man will have the oversight of all work in connection with the yards, a position similar to that of superintendent of terminals on the American ^vstems. Mr. Clements Is one of the charter members of Gateway lodge I. O, O. F.. and last night a very pleasant function took place at the lodge rooms when the members bade good-bye to their active and efficient financial secretary. Noble grand master Hadden presided and a large number of ladles were present. A musical program was enjoyed and Mr. Hidden and mayor Hammar made felicitous addresses, emphasizing the loss which would be sustained in Bro. Clement's removal and eulogizing the work he had done for the order. Mayor H .m- mar then made a presentation of a beautiful silver service to Mr. and Mrs. Clements, and the latter was handed a lovely boquet of flowers by little Mlsa Massie. Mr. Clements responded effectively and assured those present that Grand Forks and Gateway lodge would have a warm place In his affections. After refreshments Bro. Fred Clark, tbe only remaining charter member paid a high tribute to their retiring brother and the gathering broke up with the singing of Auld Lang Syne. PEACE CONFERENCE. ment takes the view that it is powerless to act In the matter. Should any of the Japanese be found to belong to the criminal class, or to be infected with disease, they will be subject to tbe same penalty as other Immigrants and be liable to deportation. But so long aB they are healthy and of good character there Is no machinery under tbe law by which their entrance could be barred, even If as announced by sir Wilfrid Laurier in the house of commons in January last, the policy of thb government was not the exact reverse. C. P. R. DENIAL. Marpole Says Company Has Not Imported Japanese. Vancouver, July 26.—R. M. Marpole, general executive assistant of the C. P. R. today gave out a. categorical, denial of the allegation made last night at a meeting of the Japanese Exclusion League tbat his company had entered into contracts with two companies for the importation of twelve thousand Japanese to British Columbia for railway work within the next six months. "There ls absolutely no truth whatever in the statement," declared Mr. Marpole today, "and you may say that I give an unqualified denial to the report. The company has never entered into any such an arangement, and has not the slightest Intention of replacing its white malntenance-of-way employees with Japanese—such a proposal would be absurd." Captain C. Gardiner Johnson, president of the Canadian Nippon Supply company, a corporation engaged ln general trade between Canada and Japan, denied that his company had any contracts with the C. P. R. or any other corporation for the importation of Japanese labor. This company has been mentioned as one of those having contracts with the C. P. R. "N"o such contract exists between our company and the C. P. R.," said captain Johnson when Interviewed today. "You mny state a-- emphatically as you oan that our company has no contract with the C. P. R. for twelve thousand, or for even a single Japanese laborer. If the labor men would only think the matter over for a moment they would realize that no such contract could be made, as it would be an Infraction of the Alien Labor law. By applying to Japanese consul Morikawa the labor men can easily ascertain the falsity of the report that tnousands of Japanese are being brought here under contract."

D. McNicoll, vice-president of the Canadian Pacific railway, a member of the board and of the executive of that great company, second only to Bir Thomas Shaughneesy, came ln to Nelson last night on his way back to Montreal. Mr, McNicoll was seen by a representative of The Daily News and said at once that he was on a pleasure trip through British Columbia and had hiB wife and family with him. He could not neglect Nelson, which he visited first 16 years ago and again as late as 1905. Asked as to whether tliere was likely to be a car shortage this winter, Mr. McNicoll replied that he did not thin- the car shortage would amount to anv- tnlnk in particular. Cars were always short and .oinetlmes the shortage came lu sjiaaui- iiiu lie \wis uolng .',_ be.*t i" unt.mu 1.. lie had got every shop in Canada, whicli would lake' the Job- working tor lilm and ue was sure thut the output of the C. P. R. In this regard was greater than of all the other companies, the government included, put together. Every day Montreal was turning out 2S wooden cars and from li to 10 steel. There was an output this year of over 6,000 cars and this rate nnd been malnialned tor a long ' time past thougn at the present minute cars were being got out at about double that rate. The company was also building many more passenger coaches, the same running into much money. Something like J10,000,000 had recently been expended in this direction by his company. Also he was putting out a locomotive about every five days. In addition he was buying more from all over the continent. The total number of locomotives ai_—I to the rolling stock for the year ending in the fall was upwards of 200, Including the 70 built by the C. P. R. shops. Mr. McNicoll denied tbat the occasional howl for cars had any real excuse. "For instance," said he, "your paper published a special from Phoenix the other day ca..»ng attention to the shortage of cars at a certain large Boundary mine. Well, we attended to the matter at once and rushed cars to the spot with the consequence that wo have now received a telegram from that mine asking us to send no more oars, they had all they could use. Aud," concluded Mr. McNicoll, "that Is the way we always find these car shortages turn out." ' With reference to the building of new lines in this province .Mr. .McNicoll said that the company had authorized more; work than could possibly be carried, out this year. There was no desire to keep the province back. The new line had nearly been completed Into the Nicola valley and the C. P. R. engineers were busy looking over the ground with a view to a rapid extension beynd Midway t the coast. As to the Kootenay Central railroad Mr. McNicoll aald tho matter was in the hands of Mr. Whyte anu mat he had nC. seen that gentleman since his trip over the Kootenay Central proposed route ln an automobile. He would not say whether the hopes ot the Kootenay people were Justifiable or not as lo work beginning early upon that extension. "You see," said the vice- president, "tne papers have not been signed as yet and we people do not like making statements until everything is really completed. It might amount to a promise or might be considered as a promise and we might find ourselves In a difficult position-In consequence." Mr. McS'lcoll ls -delighted with- his tr.l. uir_ g.i t-e p.evince. He thinks that everytnlng Is going very well all over the country and that the coast, especially the isiand, is making great strides. "Why," declared he, "they are making a new Albernl and before scarcely anything Ib built they are asking J1.100 for a hundred foot lot with a 30-foot frontage on the main street." Mr. McNicoll 18 much interested In fruit raising and says that when he came here first 16 years ago he recommended the planting of fruit trees and ls glad to learn that shipments which amount to something are now being made. Spoken to about the lack of refrigerator cars or ventilated cars, at least, Mr .McNicoll thought that this would easily be arranged now that tbo shipments had grown to be so largo that Ihe car could be reasonably filled. The only protest made by Mr. McNicoll on the province was the fact that he could not get served with the native fruit, tie could get oranges and bananas but the raspberry and the cherry were absent trom the tables. U'hey were too cortimon to serve apparently although they were Just the things that the touriBt came here for. ' _ut, • laughed Mr McNicoll, " that Is the same all over Canada. One has to go to Nova Scotia to get upper lake white fish anl to Ontario to pel coast cod. while 1 suppose I will have to to t^ the uriiric tft fiiid out what B. C. fruit Is li'.ic." ___.

The reports of large numbers of Japanese flocking Into the province cannot but be regarded with grave alarm, British Columbia does not want a rep- Itltlon of the anti-Mongolian agitation of past years. It was hoped that the findings of the Royal Commission of enquiry into the question of Mongolian Immigration had Anally disposed of that vexed question. So far as Chinese immigration is concerned the recommendations of the Commission and the prompt action of the Laurler govern ment did prove effective. At the time of the preparation of this report an arrangement existed between the dominion government and the government of Japan whereby the migration of Japanese to Canada was restricted to limits to which little or no exception could be taken and in view of imperial considerations lt was then considered Inopportune to recommend the enactment ot more stringent regulations. Of late, however. It would appear that the restrictions mentioned have been ignored or evaded. We are of the opinion that it ls more a case of evasion than of bad faith upon the part of the Mikado's government. It ls not clear that there Is any large migration of Japanese to Canada direct from Japan, The bulk of those now coming Into the country are being Imported from Honolulu, to which place there has been practically, free and unrestricted migration. Agents ot big Canadian industrial and railway corporations are at work engaging Japanese in large numbers ln Honolulu for employment In. Canada. These Japanese can migrate from Honolulu to Canada without any special authority so to do from their home government.

Japan to Canada Is being evaded and It is to this phase of tne question that the dominion goernment must Immediately turn its attention. The well understood will of the people of Canada Is that there shall not be any wholesale Immigration of Japanese cheap labor Into Canada and this decision of the Canadian people must be respected and no corporation, however large or influential, must be permitted to override Canadian public opinion. An Immediate and thorough investigation into the present abnormal immigration ot Japanese should be ordered by the dominion government and upon the facts thus ascertained action should he taken by the dominion authorities to preent any further influx. In discussing this question lt is unavoidable that some comment should be made upon the inactivity on tbe part of our provincial government in the matter of Intelligent action looking to the supply of white labor to meet tho growing demands of a rapidly expanding province. The provincial authorities cannot have been blind to the situation. They must have known that there was a scarcity of labor in many avenues of Industry and a wise, far sighted immigration policy, energetically pursued would have met the requirements and have deprived those who seek to flood this province with cheap coolie labor of any legitimate argument. The unmistakable aim of the big corporations is to create a big surplus ol cheap labor in order that wages may be reduced all around. This is a con- dltlon of affairs that cannot make for the general welfare of the province, or aid in Its development along healthy lines. But there ia real need of labor In many directions and this need might have been satisfied, without any glutting of the labor market, by a judicious immigration policy. The provincial government claim to have a large surplus, a generous proportion of this surplus might well have been expended in the carrying out of an immigration cam- paign^n the United Kingdom and northern Europe. No province in the dominion offerB such inducements to the white home seeker as BritlBh Columbia and yet by reason of the inactivity of our provincial authorities British Columbia secures comparatively few of the emigrants from the United Kingdom and northern Europe, who would make good citizens and materially assist In the upbuilding of our province. Building Program Will .be Carried out Without Any Change iParls, July 26-The Gil B'.is this morning publishes an Interview with vice admiral Ijuin. commander cf the J.ipanesa squadron new at Brest on the Japanese navy. Asked If Japan had not decided in view of recent happening.., to enlarge her program of nava. construction, tho vice- admiral replied: "We have a naval program for several yeais ahead and we shall execute It punctually and rigorously, as d> tb* nations of 'Europe, but this program has not been enlarged in recent m.nths and lt stands ns it d.d when or'ginated by the admiralty tost year." Continuing, the vice-admlra! said It was Inexact to declare that the Japanese loan w_uld be used for the Incro.ae of naval power and explained that this money would be devoted to the construction of railroads and other publlo works In Manchuria. "We are satisfied with the navy, and we believe this branch will be able to cope with ait eventuallt'es. The Japanese parliament, while refusing nothing for defense, holds ub rigorously to the naval appropriation, and these we never exceed. We -ire to bu'ld three warsh'p.. of the type of the Tsukuba, but more powerful and they are to be constructed in Japanese yards from material furnished by Japan's Industry." Vice-admiral Ijuin knows nothing of any (Intention on the part of Japan to build warships in China. "We are interested in al. things concerning the grandeur and power of the Aslat'c wees," he aaf-d; "but wo have not had to concern ourselves with the Chinese marine. China has not appealed to us and she Is not yet seriously interested An the reorganization of her navy." Just how suffering humanity would get along without hyglenlsts, is hard to say. These wise people delight ln alarming ordinary, everyday people about popular foods, and just now, strawberries have been placed under the ban. It Is announced definitely that strawbarrles, even. In moderate quantities have a bad effect on the consumer, rendering blm sulky and irritable. Hyglenlsts add that ladles are particularly susceptible to tbe strawberry disease, and this fact alone accounts for a great deal of trouble and unhappiness, the cause of which has never before been understood. The symptoms of the dread strawberry plague are: slight dizziness, a strong desire to be alone, and intolerance of being questioned. Think of the numbers of people affected by the strawberry disease, with the above symptoms, who until now, never knew what ailed them. It's all very simple when explained by the hygienist. What would we do without him? Edward Blake's announced decision to retire from the British house of commons, will not cause much surprise to those who knew the real state of this eminent Canadian's health of late. Wheu Blake accepted the Invitation to become nationalist member for South Longford in 1892 he was still on the sunny side of sixty, and there was hope that ten years of hard fighting might result in the establishment of an Irlso parliament on College Oreen. That hope remains unfulfilled, although much has been done since 1892 to bring the English and Irish peoples closer together. Mr. Blake is in his seventy- fourth year, keen of intellect as ever, one of the greatest jurists that America has yet produced, but enfeebled In body and sorely needing rest. It Is probable that Mr. Blake's friends will ere long be able to greet him as ln the old days, when the keen face and leonic locks were pointed out tb the stranger a1* those of Ontario's greatest orator. Some of the chief "dates" ln Mr. Blake's career may be of interest this morning. Born at Cairngorm, Ontario, October 13, 1833 ; called to the bar and began practice In Toronto in 1856; declining the chancellorship of Upper Canada in 1869; became liberal leader ln the legislature of Ontario in 1869; premier of Ontario, 1871; member of the Mackenzie government without portfolio November 7, 1873; minister of justice, May 1, 1875; leader of liberal party between 1878 and 1887 . EDITORIAL NOTES. Referring to the premier's home coming the Montreal Herald says: Without distinction ot party or race, or creed or origin, lt salutes the greatest of Canadians. As Canadians, and as citizens of the city wherein beats the very heart of Canada, the people of Montreal acclaim the man who has made Canada a greater power In the world of mart and commerce, a greater Influence in the councils of the greatest of empires, and yet more Important, an object of greater love and greater devotion tjj Canadians themselves.

LEADER Of LABOR PARTY KBIR HARDIE, M.P., INTERVIEWED AT TORONTO BRITAIN TO HAVE A THOROUGHLY INDEPENDENT PARTY Kelr Hardte, M,P. for Merthyr-Tydvil, In the Imperial house of oommons, now on his way west, waa interviewed In Toronto. Mr, HArdla haa been In poor health and waa ordered on a long voyage by his medical advisor. "I have long Intended to visit India and AustraHa," ho told the World, "and »o I decided to make thla the opportunity." He anils from Vancouver for Yokohama and will cover tho far eaat, returning next yeai1 by Canada and tho United States, when he expects to devote considerable time to matters of interest to labor men and socialists. •For Kelr Hard e ls leader of the British Independent Party, the I.L.P. of politics the steadily rising force whioh, very much moro portentous than Elijah's cloud, has not yet met with the regard of the English partisan Ahabs. In the modest, qutet-vploed sonsie-rook- lng Scotchman one would scarcely expect to discover the center of a nation compelling movement, but ln the solid earnestness and Imperturbable conviction of Kelr Handle's address one become- conscious of unsounded depths. On the platform the fountain of those deeps aro frequently broken up and with irresistible sweep. "In what respect," Mr. Hurdle waa asked "doea tho labor party differ from.th* liberal party ln England," "The I.L.P. represents the Interests of the working classes and the liberal party represents the capitalist-.*' was the fcply- This was the oause of the division of voting atrength in recent bye-elections as In Jarrow and Colne Valley in Yorkshire when the laborites won these seats over both the liberal and conservatives. 'These two elections show that our power Is increasing. Our rigid independent work in parliament haa gained the confidence of all reformers. Ten per cent of the present liberal party members are aa- cdallstic, and 25 per cent have no strong opinions and would Juat as soon as not vote with us," "What then Is the policy of your party?" "Wo formulate no policy. We simply go straight ahead and follow our own line of action." "But that Implies a policy in Itself?" "Our policy is to create a separate party entirely independent of all others," Mr. Hardle would not admit that there was any division among socialists when questioned as to the shares of op'nion and the variety of views expressed by many so-called, "There is only on true socialism. It means the abolition of private property in land and in Industrial capital. Be particular about industrial cup'tal. At the present time we produce goeds to make a profit for the capita.-sts, irrespective of whether auoh product'on benefits the community or Injures it. Under socialism production would be for use, and hired labor would give place to associated service." iMr, Hardle Is no protectionist and when he returns desires to make clear the effect of preferential tariff, "I do not believe that such a policy would be for the best interests of the working mnn of Oreat Britain, but at the same time I realize that ln a time of trade de- pj'.ss'on the movement might beet me a formidable one. In order to meet lt and put every difficulty In the way ot its success I am anxious to interest the worklngmen of aU the colonies but especially In Canada in an organized and oo-opem- tlve opposition to the scheme. He observed that trusts and the growth of huge personal fortunes occurred under free trade aa we'l as protection. "You will find capitalists under both, but protection makes the growth of the trust easier. Trusts are inevitable under either. The question Is whether the monopo.y be one for private or for public Interest^," was his summing up on this point, "Ideas rule the world," was a phrase of contention thirty years ago. It Is the essence of Mr. Hardle's philosophy. He haa a sublime faith in the power of. right thinking and one ga'ns a clue to the source tjf hla calm resolute a&suranco, Wat (Wlhltmah fronted the universe In this spirit of reliance on tho eternal fitness. "Yes; we rely on the power of our Ideas. Wo sever waste a breath ln denouncing anyone. Simply educate the peopre and the results will follow. Tho MP. Is holding 2500 meetings a week and dlstrthue- Ing literature. The Miners' trade union will Join the labor puty next year. That Is the result of propaganda. No, we do not negotiate. We do not mind render-, but go to the people direct. When they understand they aet In their own Judg- mentment." Mr. Hrtrdle believe* that lt Is only by this reliance on Ideas and prlnc'ples of each member personally that a really Independent party can be formed. He finds that the socialist and trade union elements ln the labor party work together quite smoothly and there never has been any friction. Nineteen of the 31 members of the parliamentary labor party are srclal- Ists, and the movement grows steadily. With respect to emigration from England Mr. Hardle objects to any forcing of the people from their own lands. He quotes statistics to show that there is plenty of , arable land In England for the subsist .nc" of its population. Patlsh councils shou'd be given the right be th'nks to c-mpel tho j landlords to wll their land at reasonable prices for small holdings. Tho county | councils have the right now, but do not act upon it. wh'te the more popular parish bodies would take action. !

Mr. Brcdeur, Interviewed in Paris, declared that the a.'.- red route was of the utmost importance to the empire commercially and strategically. The route Ivul great advantages of the Suez canal route. "I heard nothing'' ho said, "to lead me to believe there is any tendency on the part of the British government or any section of the m'n's- tertalists to disavow the approval given by lord Efgin at the conference. I understand a committee of ministers Is oris der- ing the project, leaving the question of subsidies to be considered later by a con- ferrence of the governments concerned. I cannot for a moment believe that ether sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman or any member of the liberal puty has any intention of opposing an undertaking of such great value. I noticed a member of the cabinet said recently that the government would not entertain any p~op:a__ for but- tress'ng British shipping at the expense o_ the tax payers. I can on'y say that Canada has spent millions ln diverting trade from the west via the St. Lawrence to /Grffittt BrftaJn, .wTJlch otherwise wouW have gone to the United States." • The morning Tribune says sir Wilfrid Laurler's speech at Quebec la we'l worth recording, especially regarding the preference and the efforts of some ministers to force the hand of the British popie. The Dairy express referring to the Can- ad'an Pacific and Hudson Bay land policy, says the movement to merge the land assets of these two great c.ncerns and distributing the shares so created in the form of a bonus to the shareholders would doubtless be immensely popular, dry wood nmengst your minister's and If you do net 1 -ten to the public clamor for hla resignation from the cabinet, the country will ask you to explain your cond;-( scansion, which borders on complicity. "L'Evenement measures well its wo:ds and it Is with perfect knowledge of the responsibility :t assumes when we denounce your colleague and' demand his Immediate retirement from the federal ministry. Do you demand of us befora acting that we place a spec'flc accusation In your hands? That is e'ementary Justice, and L'Evenement ls ready to give It as soon as you ask for it, nnd also if you wish It on the one condition that, instead of dragging us before a juy, as wa_ unjustly done in the case of Asselln, you engage yourself to give the public without delay what they demand in the case of your m'-nlBter of m'lttia and defence. Be assured, however, that your minister must and wi.1 leave the government. "Emmerson who was less guilty than he, had to get out and although he hopes to again take his place in your government you cannot, you dare not, take him back. Why then keep sir Frederick Borden?" FRENCH PAPERS PROTEST Open Letter to Laurier Strongly Opposing Sir Frederick Borden Montreal. July -6-L'Evenement addresses an open letter to air Wirfrld Laurier demanding the resignation of air Frederick Borden aa minister of militia and defence. "It Is rumored," says the Quebec paper, "that this gentleman is to be appointed high commissioner at London, replacing lord Strathcona and Mount Royal. We hope you will look twice before making euch an appointment and that you will listen to the numerous protestations which are pouring In upon ycu from the lower provinces. In order to represent In London the dominion and her vast resources the man appointed must be above suspicion, and you cannot Ignore the fact that your minister' of militia is not above ail suspicion. As a matter of fact, It would be a shame for all Canada to have such a man represent us In London at the present time. Save us, therefore, this humiliation.

YORK GINGER ALE. YORK SARSAPARILLA. YORK SODA. YORK POTASH WATER. YORK APERIENTIS (the perfect Unlive). York Springs Dry Ginger Ale is perfection as a Summer-day beverage, because it does more than merely allay thirst for the time being. It quenches thirst; and it braces and stimulates the whole body, with no consequent reaction. York Springs Dry Ginger Ale gets its keen pungency and sparkling crispness of flavor from pure, selected Jamaica ginger-root, combined with other pure vegetable aroma- tics, and ideally pure York Springs Water, lightly charged with purified carbonic add gas. There is only a trace of sweetness about this delightful beverage,—it has the "sec" of fine champagne, and is almost as invigorating, although there is no alcohol in it. Chilled slightly, sipped slowly, a glassful of York Springs Dry Ginger Ale instantly refreshes parched throats, lessens the heat of the blood, cools the brain and body, and withal puts tone and vim into the system,—the effect of the ginger it contains. Not even the finest imported ginger ales, though these cost much more, excel York Springs Dry Ginger Ale in absolute purity and actual quality. Not one of them vies with it in the delicious piquancy and snap of its inimitable flavor. Everyone does not know how good a summer drink such a Dry Ginger Ale really is. Try It for yourself,—it is certain to please your palate.

A pathetic incident was noted here. One of the ruined.members of the tenderloin narrated to the. bystanders that Bhe had been burned out in San Francisco, and that this second visitation of flre was uudoubi_„..y a visitation ot Providence, and, amid heartbroken sobs, which left no doubt of her sincerity, declared her intention of hereafter leading an upright life. Meanwhile the old soap factory, adjoining Mellor's blacksmith shop on Government street, was wrapped In flames, but the Inhabitants had had timely warning. Mr. Mellor had early removed his various implements to a place of safety, while the Chinese also had been busy. The sight of a Chinese woman bearing various strange Instruments devoted apparently to the mysterious of Mongolian cookery, aroused general comment. The flames spread across the street. First the grass took fire, thence the pollings were Ignited, an the fire spread to the heaps of old boxes antl lumber stored on the vacant corner lot. And here one of yesterday's many miracles were recored. The cottages on the north side of Herald street, ea.t of Government, were untouched, although the houses to tne uack of them on the south side of Chathame street were all consumed, as were tne houses from St. John's church east on the opposite side of the next block in the same Herald street. But thi- 13 not the history of one flre, lt 1- ra.her the account of many fires, though having a common origin. The roof of some houses were watched, other were not; the wind displayed strange freaks and it was not an uncommon sight to see one side of a block in flames while the other seemed to be immune. The flre started about 2.20 and at 3.30 all electric power was turned off. St. Jahn's church, all unnoticed, had burst into a blaze soon after three; but it was not until after four and the flre reached the south side af Chatham stree, above Government. It started with the little hardware store on the corner, and wiped out everything on the south side of the block. But the frame of the new building on tbe northeast corner of Government an. Chatham next the brewery was untouched, as were the buildings on the lower half of the block adjoining. All the rouses on the east half were destroyed, no th withstanding unusual efforts to save them. Thus almost the entire block surrounded by Store, Herald, Chatham and Governments streets, and most of the blocks immediately to the east are today a desolate waste wtth only a chimney standing here anil there to mark, the site of former human habitations. At 3.30 o'clock a spark Ignited the roof of St. John's church schoolroom building, corner of Douglas and Herald streets, and In few moment, the structure was a mass of flames, with WILSON'S FLY s: PADS kill Wt Attn*, th*** DIDCCItTI, utt-lekfMW*- «n c__mi irons Wllll->>:_■ Nelnon, B.C.

T. DAVIS, the recentpurchaser, we are placing on the market part of the BOURKE PROPERTY, at 13 mile Point, in blocks ranging around 10 acres each. The Bourke Ranch is on the WEST ARM OF KOOTENAY LAKE, within easy reach of Nelson, and is one of the best known DEVELOPED FRUIT FARMS in the Kootenay. The Price, $ 125.00 per Acre THE SOIL is the finest grade of fruit soil —the light loam that has made Kootenay famous. It is very level, is entirely free from stone, and ls comparatively easily cleared. There is plenty of water on the property, secured by a perpetual record of 20 inches. THE LOCATION is perfect—within an hour's run of Nelson by fast launch. As ' the ranch lies on the north shore of the lake, lt has a southerly and westerly exposure—the ideal exposure for fruit growing. THE PRICE is remarkably low. Small acreages no closer to Nelaon, and without the advantage of being in connection with a large developed property, are selling as high as $200 an acre. Property on the west arm is very much in demand just now, for the majority of the purchasers coming ln from the prairies are after lake front blocks NEAR NELSON. The fall will certainly see prices much higher than they are at present. THE TERMS are simple—half cash, balance in two equal annual payments with interest on deferred balances at 6 per cent. If you buy 10 acres, you pay $625 down, and the balance will atand ov .r two years , * If you are interested call and see us. Should you mean business, we will take you over the property, placing a launch at your disposal for the trip. Remember There Are Only Seven -7- Blocks As but 70 acres have been included, in the sub-division. These will go off like hot cakes, If you want to get in at all, get in FIRST.

Younc Teddle Litchfield, an English boy of 13 working in the Canada Drug store did something yesterday of whicli he may well be proud and which saved the city what might have heen a serious conflagration. He was sent In tie afternoon to get a can of gasoline from tbe storehouse of his employers, which ls situated behind J. J. Walker's Jew- elrv sure. To 566 his way atom th" boy lighted a candle and in --o_ie way the can of gasoline, which was open, ignited at the naked (lame. The whole riace ls full ot chemicals and would have made, according to chief Deasy, a bad flre. Litchfield did not lose his head but promptly seising the hesvy can threw It out of the door as It was, burning himself and risking a bad explosion while the can was in his hands. Unfortunately just outside the door, at the back of the store and near the lane was a quantity of excelsior and old packing cases which caught fire and burned fiercely for a few minutes until the fire brigade arrived upon the spot and quickly extinguished the mlnature conflagration.

The first business discussed was the proposal brought forward by the entertainment committee to have a series of winter entertainments form the Lyceum Bureau ot Los Angles. The secretary reported that a tentative canvass had been made of some of the usual patrons of the drama, music and educational subjects In the city and had met with a Tovorable reply. The cost ot putting on six entertainments would be about 81,200 and the proposal was to sell a course ticket tor $5 for the six, single tickets being charged a dollar each the holders of the season ticket to have the flrst choice of seats. From the favorable reception which the idea had met In the city It waa thought there would be no difficulty in getting from 150 to SP0 tickets sold; |b advance, Jhe course proposed ll to begin with the Kellogg- Haines vocal quartette of popular music which will bo here aoout Ute end of October. The next number ls the Bos- tonla sextette which Is of classical music and which will be here about the end of November.
