(Special Correspondence)
Boise, May. 16—When court adjourned today the jury box in the Haywood
murder trial had been fill-fed on examination for cause and the slate had exercised one of its preempiory challenges.
Tne examination of the talesman
called to take tbe place of the man excused had not been finished when adjournment was taken.
Tomorrow morning there will be na
session, an adjournment having been
taken to admit of the attendance at the
funeral of Judge Edward Nugent, father
of John F. Nugent of counsel for the
defense. Judge Nugent was on the bench
of this court iranyi years ago; the attorneys of boll: sides will at end in a
body.
The name of Harry Orchard came in
the proceeding.*- for the first time during the day. It was on -the examination
of Samuel Wingate, by the defense, he
having been passed by the state last
week. After the confession of Orchard-
he said he came to a conclusion, but.
not a. conclusion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused, nor as to the
guilt oi innocence of Harry Orchard.
The juror said he could not sit on the
trial of Harry Orchard and render a
fair and impartial verdict,
"How would the opinion affect you
as a juror?"
"I would be prejudiced against that
witness."
"You know you don'
lieve all a witness says
ardaon.
"No; I thought I had to belie]
they say," was the reply. "Well, I
could not believe Orchard under oath,"
exclaimed the juror.
Richardson explained that it was not.
necessary for the jury to believe all
any witness said. He said he merely
had to follow the rules laid down by the
court.
The juror thought he could follow the
rules laid down by the court providing
the court did not order him to believe
tbat one witness. Juror said he did not
belong to any union labor organization.
He did not belong to a citizens' alliance. He had one time, 16 year sago,
served as a juror on a murder trial.
The juror was passed by the defense
for cause.
Senator Borah asked permission to
reopen the examination of the juror
by the state for cause.
"I understand you to say," said Borah
"that you have a deep seated prejudice
against any /testimony Jthat Orchard
might give in this case "
"I could not help it."
" We challenge this juror for direct
bias," announced Borah.
"We rVsist," exclaimed Richardson.
"The juror had a perfect right to mas
against any particular line- of testimony.';
The challenge it allowed, ruled the
court.    "Call another juror."
The defense noted1 an exception.
After several witnesses had been excused because of having formed opin-
oins that were fixed, A. P. Burns, a carpenter and S. T. Russell, a farmer were
passed by both sides.
( Then they went back to the case of
juror Henry who yesterday denied he
had held certain conversations with a
man named Lovelace, in which he expressed the opinion that the accused
men were guilty.
Lovlace was put on the stand to tcs-J
1 tuy. He said that Henry staled to him
that if Moyer, Haywood and Pe".tibone
bad not been mixed up in the murder
of Steunenberg they would never have
been arrested.   On examination by Borah Lovelace said he came here directly
from Chicago.   He said that he first
became acquainted with Henry in April.
Lovelace said he commenced the conversation with Henry. He talked about
socialism.
g   "Are you a socialist?" asked Borah.
'    "Yes."
.   "You began the conversation?"
L    "Yes; * I talked about labor troubles
and told him 1 did not believe the West-
fern Federation of Miners had any 'ln-
| ner Circle" and did not believe the members were responsible for any murders.
Then  he spoke about the Homestead
troubles.   Then we talked about these
men."
k      You brought the subject up?"
1/    "Yes."
«    "What did you say?"
<-   -«|  said the men were not given a
Bf,uare deal."
•   "Why did you tell him tbat?"
"He was running down socialism and
|   I was sticking up for it."
jj     "What has socialism got to do wlih
.these il.-lVndai.ts?"
y   "I presume they are socialists."
|   ''You mix up socialism with organized labor?"
"Not exactly."
In answer to close and persistent
questions, the witness said he reported
the conversation to Mr. Workman. He
admitted Workman was employed to
learn all he could about the jurors.
He had reported to Workman .the previous day. He said he was in the court
room for the purpose of hearing the
answers of various jurors to questions.
Henry was again examined by Borah
as follows:
"Mr. Henry, you have heard Mr.
Lovelace's statement, what do you say
about it?"
regarding the Homestead strike, I
merely told him of what one of the
strikers at Pittsburg told me he had
done there." He said Lovelace brought
up the conversation, that he had no recollection of telling Lovelace that the
defendants must be connected* with the
Steunenberg murder or they would not
be under arrest."
. In. answer to Darrow's question,
"whatj do you mean by 'radical' ?" the
juror replied, "When a man says he can
get out and kill off half of a town in
half a day, I would call that a radical
statement. Debs, I call radical.
(Laughter throughout the court room.)
In answer to a direct answer by Darrow, Henry admitted that he did -say
something to Lovelace to the effect that
the defendants must have been mixed
up in the crime in some way or they
would not have been arrested.
"I think that's all," replied Darrow.
"The court will allow the challenge,"
|said judge Wood.   Henry was excused.
William Godall, a coal dealer was accepted to take Henry's place and that
filled the box. William Vanorsdale was
peremptorily challenged by the state.
Before the seat was filled court adjourned.
INDIGNANT MACHINISTS
MEMBERS' OF I. A.   OF M.  MAKE
STATEMENT
DENY   PUBLISHED  STORY   ABOUT
ALLEGED STRIKE
The members of the I. A ofi 11. engaged in the local shops of the C.P.R.,
are indignant over what they term a
false published statement of their position in connection with some troubles
of the order which appeared in the
evening paper last night.
A deputation consisting of R. D.
Graves, William Johnston and Wilson
Jordan called- at The Daily News office last night and requested the -publication of an authoritative statement
of the real facts, and of a denial of the
published statement referred to.
The spokesman of the deputation
said: "The statement published in the
evening paper tonight regarding the
C.P.R. machinists is false in* many respects. There has been no strike. The
machinists were never called out and
so could never have obeyed the order
We object stiongly to the statement
credited to us that 'They knew very
little of the reason for it'; that is for
the so called strike.
"The real facts of the case are simple
and easily understood by anyone who-
really cares to know them. On Tuesday last we decided to take a vacation,
and discuss the situation,* and so notified- the foreman. All yesterday we held
an open- session in the Miners union j
| hall and only closed our meeting last
evening. The question involved was
one of discrimination on the main line.
Before noon yesterday we received
word that a satisfactory solution had
•been arrived at 'and, our vacation will
now cease and we will go to work in
the morning. We did not go out on
strike; and as a fact did not go to the
shops today at all, as the foreman knew
on Tuesday night we would not
"The deputation desires to express
the opinion that it is poor policy for
the union worldngmen of the city to
support a paper which caters to any
corporation or company to such an* extent as to falsify a plain situation for
the purpose of currying favor, as was
done in this particular instance.
"Finally, the deputation desires to
express the opinion that the members of
the I. A. of M. are sufficiently posted to be fully conversant with all matters pertaining lo their craft to be guilty
of the views credited to them of being
in ignorance of the real situation at any
time. Further that what concerns any
individual member of the organization
is the concern of all, whether they live
in Port Arthur, Nelson or any other
place."
The deputation in conclusion expressed the hope that in future more care
would be taken io ascertain the real
I facts of any case which might arise,
before publication and so avoid poisoning the mind of the public against organized labor.
INDIAN SCHOOLS -IN WEST
Toronto, May 15— The question of
carrying on Indian schools in the west,
which has been a matter of conference
between representatives of the Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian*,
churches, was considered by the foreign-
mission of the latter body today. A
scheme which calls for the creation of
an advisory board has been agreed-
upon by the conferring denominations,
and already submitted to the Indian
department for approval. The Presbyterian committee approved of the principle, and the matter was referred to
the assembly for action.
A deputation from the Chinese union,
of Toronto, advocating the settlement, of
a central place where Chinese could
meet for services on Sunday, was received. The matter will receive consideration.
TO KILL
THE CZAR
Conspiracy Discovered by
Soldier of the Guard
He Had Been Bribed to Assist and Recognising Tbat tie Was Su* pecteo, Broke
Down and Confessed AH Id Police.
St. Petersburg, May 15—A terrorist
conspiracy, directed against the life of
emperor Nicholas, the existence of
which has been suspected for some time
past, has been revealed by the arrest
at Tsarskoe-Selo of a soldier of the
guard regiment.
Today the man confessed) to the acceptance of a bribe to assist in the murder of his majesty.
According to the details of the plot
the existence of which has been confirmed by one of the highest officials
of court, suspicion was directed to the
soldier by the fact that he was seen to
have in his possession coniderable sums
of money. He was at once placed under
observation. When he noticed that he
was being shadowed he became panic
stricken and sought the authorities;
then broke down and voluntarily made
his confession after which he begged
for protection.
All the threads of this conspiracy,
[which is radically different from former attempts of this nature, are not yet
in the hands of the secret -service men.
A few underlings have been apprehended, but the real instigators of the
crime and the men who furnished the
blood money have not yet been identi-
fid. It is thought that the money used
is part of the proceeds of several political robberies committed during last
fall and winter. -Many of the participants in these so called expropriations
have been arrested and executed, but
the loot was never located. The police
officials maintain a mysterious silence
when questioned regarding this conspiracy. They refuse either to affirm or
deny the story and limit themselves to
stating that there are indications that
the men arrested last week in this city
were connected with this conspiracy.
This statement coincides with information obtained in revolutionary circles,
where it is declared that the men apprehended last week were occupied
with the reorganization of the fighting
bands of the revolutionists which the
police succeeded last year in -breaking
up, and that the authors of the present
conspiracy must be sought outside of
St. Petersburg.
RUEF PLEADED GUILTY
FRISCO'S   ERSTWHILB   DICTATOR
ASTONISHES COURT
HIS STORY MADE EVEN VETERAN
REPORTERS WEEP
DROP IN S. 0. DIVIDENDS
New York. May 15—The directors of
the Standard Oil company today declared a quarterly dividend of $9 per
share. This compares with a dividend
of $16 declared three months ago.
San Francisco, May 15 — Abraham
Ruef, the acknowledged advisor of
mayor Schmi-lz and the recognized dictator of municipal affairs in San Francisco, pleaded guilty today to the charge
of extortion in judge Dunne's department of the superior court.
Sentence will be pronounced on bim
twO weeks hence.
After a conference with his four attorneys in judge Dunne's private chambers this afternoon and after they had
withdrawn from his case because of his
resolve to change his plea and avoid
trial,-Ruef, to the utter astonishment
of the prosecution, arose in court and
announced; in.a dramatic address, that
after long and earnest consideration he
had determined to withdraw his plea of
not guilty and enter a plea of guilty,
He then asked that the jury be dismissed and the trial abandoned.
Ruef read his statement from a manuscript which he had prepared in the
presence of his attorneys a few minutes
before judge Dunne's court opened.
He showed by his voice by his expression, by his gestureless attitude,
and by the tears that again and again
flowed down his cheeks, the great emotion and utter humiliation that he suffered. The pathos of the scene communicated itself to the crowd that thronged the court room. Tears sprang to the
eyes of veteran reporters, who have
been Ruef s life long acquaintances and
■whose papers have conducted, against
him and his political associates, a long
and bitter campaign for the purification of municipal affairs. Ruef was
several times all but overcome by emotion. When he reached the final words
of his address. "I desire to withdraw
my plea of not guilty, and enter the
contrary plea," his voice sank to a
whisper. But so tense was the silence
•that it was heard in every corner of the
room. Though- Ruef has formally declared himself to be guilty of the charge
on which he was brought to be tried,
he nevertheless proclaimed his innocence. He confesses that he is guilty
i of having connived at corruption in municipal affairs, but he denies, with all
the emphasis a man in .his unhappy po
j sit loo can command, that he is not
guilty of the crime of extortion charged against him. He declares that his
sole motive in accusing himself in open
court was to save the lives of those
who are nearest and dearest to him,
his aged father and mother, his maiden
sister and a niece.
In the -course of a long conversation
this afternoon with a representative of
the Associated Press in the house at
2849 Filmore street, which for the last
month or more has been his prison,
Ruef said:
"I shall not mislead anyone. Never,
never in the wide world could I have
been convicted on this charge. No one
knows as well as myseHL Then why,
one may ask, did J plead guilty? i
pleaded guilty to save the lives of those
who are nearest and dearest to me on
earth."
Ruef 3 eyes filled with tears when he
said this. He turned and gazed out of
•the window. When he had master d
himself, he went on.
"Last night I gathered my family
about me in this prison house of mine
and prepared them for the act I had
determined upon. That would mean one
day of uneasiness, one day of sorrow.
To go on would have meant months of
agony and death. I do not know what
my sentence will be. For myself I do
not greatly care. I say that no man
possesses physical nerve more than 1
do. I could face a crowd of 5000 or 10,-
000 men, every one with a rope in his
hand and calling for my life. I could
face them calmly and meet my end
without flinching; but the suffering of I
those I love I could, endure no longer.
"I believe that with my presonality,
leaving out of the question the feelings
of those who love me and have stood
■by me, I could spend five years in San
Quentin prison almost as comfortably
as in an hotel or at a summer resort.
But if the step I took this morning had
meant five or fourteen years, the fear
of that would not have deterred me.
"I have made no confession. I know
much; some things I shall tell, some
things I shall not. Wherever an innocent man has been forced info corruption against his will, that man* I shall
protect. Wherever! a man, be he high
or low, has entered into corruption with,
his eyes open, that man I shall expose.
"I shall not say at the present time
that mayor Schmitz is guilty of the
charges that have been brought against
him, or that he is innocent.. I will say
this, that I wanted to break away from
Schmitz before the election a year* ago
last November, and said to him': 'I am
sick of the whole thing and I want to
get out. I cannot stand for all these
union bums you have gathered around
you and will appoint. They would eat
the paint off a house.'
"In answer the mayor begged me to
stay with him, and put up tho argument
that these fellows must be allowed' their
share or we could never hold the machine together; There was too much
Struth in that; i stayed* with • Schmitz
and I stayed with the machine that I
at great labor and pains had built up
and assembled. I found then that I had
taken a step away from the high and
clean ideals with whloh I originally entered -the political field. I found, in
short, that to hold the machine together
I had to permit and connive at corruption. In the state of affairs existing
it was necessary. But I, myself, never'
asked a dollar from a man, never took
a dishonest dollar from the public.
The things that 1 did were things that
hurt no one."

owing to the publication of a dispatch

Interviews with leading grain merchants and members of the produce'
section of the bourse here resulted in
ascertaining that a feeling of great uncertainty prevails. The dealers generally are disposed to regard the present
want of speculation as being an exaggerated one. All will admit, however,
that the United States holds the7 key
to the international situation, but the
tendency is to the belief that the situation, and the reports of European
shortage are exaggerated, the spring
showing being too little advanced to
be estimated as a factor in the general
yield.

CHEERS FOR GENERAL KUROKI
•Famous Japanese Soldier Given Warm
• Welcome to United States
New York, May 15—General Kuroki .
and his party, incudlng vice-admiral
Ijuin, arrived at Jersey City, this afternoon and were met by a reception committee, headed by Japanese consul general Uchida and composed of Japanese
merchants.
Major general Roe, head of the state
militia of New York with his staff was
also present at the station to welcome
the general.
There were also about 100 Japanese
young men. The general and his party
doffed their hats in response to the
ovation they -received. On the way to
the 'boat the crowd pressed forward trying to shake the general's- hand, but
the party continued on its way. As the
ferry boat pulled- out of its slip the
crowd gave the party a parting cheer
and general Kuroki stood on the after
deck waving his hat. On arriving 'at
Manhattan, the visitors proceeded to the
city hall to pay their respects to mayor
McClellan.
VICTORY FOR UNIONIST
London, May 16.—At'the bye-election
held at Wimbeldon on yesterday,
Henry Chaplin, unionist and ex-
president of the local government
board, -whose candidacy was opposed
[by the woman suffragists, was elected
by the great majority of 0,964, out of '
a total vote of 16,562. Mr. Chaplin was
Joseph Chamberlain's first lieutenant
throughout the latler's protectionist,
campaign, and it was largely on that
issue that he was elected. Baron Russell, the candidate of the woman's
suffragists, was heavily handicapped
iby the fact that the liberals declined
to support him.

Recent visitors to Nelson from the east
who i-a::.p Vtest over ihe C.P.R. main
line and want right through to the
coast, expleas surprise (hat Nelson
makes so little effort to Induce eastern
travellers to book by the Crow's Nest
loute when journeying westward. One
gentleman, who went throegh to Vlc-
| joria. expressed the opinion that he
would Just as soon live in Nelson as in
j Victoria and for seme reasons would
have preferred tbe interior town to the
.oisi to.'.a. Bu; hiving been taken
rhtouuh to Victoria, he bad Invested
there and would, (or a time at least,
fcave to live there.  He thought if some
systematic effort were made to induce
people from Manitoba, seeking homes
in this province, to adopt the Crow's
Nest route, a far greater percentage
would finally locate In the Kootenay
country than is the case at present. It
was pointed out to this genteman that
the solution ot this question rests largely with the C.P.R. If the big railroad
company would assist In the matter of
diverting traffic this way, Nelson would
gladly do Its part, but without the active co-operation of the railway company, it was well nigh impossible for
Nelson to undertake the heavy expense
of adequately advertising in the east the
advantages to intending settlers of visiting the Kootenay districts before going to the coast.
It appears that the C.P.R. is not anxious to divert traffic over the Crow's
Nest branch from ih» ma n line and consequently little or no effort Is made to
acquaint travellers with the advantages
of the former route.
The wide circulation of well prepared
folders, placed for distribution at all
eastern ticket offices and leading hotels
would serve "a useful purpose. Polders sue has have just been prepared
by the 20,000 club are too expensive for
free distribution on a lavish scale.

OCBAiN PORT
The Georgian Bay canal commission*
has practicaly completed, at a cost of
some $600,000, a thorough'survey, of IwL
proposed il foot Waterway-from Geoa^
gian bay to Montreal via the French
river, lake Nippissing and the Ottawa
river. The detaile<i, report of the com-'
mission giving full and reliable details
as to the whole cost of the completed
canal, the location and character of the
structural works required, the Water
powers available, etc., is now in course
of preparation and will be presented to
parliament next session.
For the first time the country will
then have reliable and adequate information as to the cost and feasibility of
this great project which has been before the public for half a century
The engineers of the commission have
not compiled the final estimate as to
the whole cost of the canal but from
the information now available it ls -safe
to say that the total expenditure required for a continuous and fully navigable waterway with a minimum depth
of) 21 feet from Georgian bay to tidewater will be close to $100,000,000. The
report, when presented will also show
that from an engineering standpoint,
the enterprise is entirely feasible With
no very great engineering difficulties
to surmount. The only question for
parliament to consider will be whether
the benefits which will accrue to the
dominion through the construction of
a waterway, making Fort William an
ocean part and shortening the present
•distance by water from Fort William
to Montreal by over 400 miles will justify an expenditure larger by $15,000,-
000 than has been spent on the great
lakes and St. Lawrence waterways system. The engineers have been able to
solve the chief engineering problem of
the canal, namely the question of maintaining a sufficient water supply across
the height of land between lake Nipis-
slng and Trout lake; it has been found
practicable by conserving the flood waters of the Ottawa river to maintain
a continuous and adequate supply
of water during the whole season of navigation without having to excavate
from Trout lake to the level of lake
Nipissing, which would have involved
the expenditure of a vast sum.
| One of the most interesting features
of the report will be the statement (that
it will be easily possible at a moderate
expenditure to considerably reduce, the
flood level of the Ottawa river and increase the low water level by a series
of dams and control of tributary waters.
•This would result In increasing wonderfully the value of the water powers now
available, would prove of great benefit
to the lumber industries of the Ottawa
valley and would also serve to materially raise the low water level In Montreal harbor. It is estimated that with
the completion of the canal there would
'be 500,000 horsepower available along
its course, almost as much as is available at Niagara. With so much cheap
power available and with its great resources of iron ores and timber the Ottawa valley would doubtless become one
of the greatest manufacturing centers
of the continent.
Referring to the early construction
of the canal sir Wilfrid Laurier recently said that if he had the money to do
so he would hegin work tomorrow.

Yesterday's press dispatch stating
that the seditious movement amongst
the" Hindus in Madras province, India,
was spreading very rapidly, is but another link in the long chain of cable
advices received during the last month
indicating the approach of a serious
crisis in Britain's most populous dependency. It can no longer be doubted
that events in. India are assuming an
aspect which the most unsensational
minds in the public and the press
throughout the empire recognize to be:
grave. A correspondent of a coast paper, who interviewed several natives
of India in Oakland, Cal., elicited some
very startling statements, the value of
which must, of course, be struck with
a dug regard for the fervid language
of the East Indian,
"In two years'- time we will drive
the English out of India," said the
Hindu spokesman. "We will not be
alone in the undertaking. There" is
now a thorough understanding among
the great mass of people from Japan
in the east to Turkey in Europe. Our
slogan will be 'India for the Indians
and' Asia for the Asiatics.' Wfe realize
that it is pot the power of a few thousand British soldiers th$t is keeping
the great population of India in subjection, It is our own ignorance of
our power and the bitter caste prejudices that have kept us divided through
■ all the centuries.' Through education
we have learned the trick whereby
England conquered us and kept us in
subjection, fighting her battle for commercial expansion, and it will be by
education that we will emancipate ourselves. It is true that we shall -have
to use force, for we know, that England
Will not surrender the richest possession
on the face of the earth without drawing to. the limit on her vast resources.
Yes, we are coming to this country
and Canada for certain specific purposes, but we meet with scant cordiality in any, of the British possessions.
We are npt permitted to laud In Australia or New' Zealand, and Canada
only tolerates us on account of the
head tax on the Chinese, it is true
that We are not- well received in the.
United States, and we understand; the
reason why.
"We are about in the same position
that the people of this country were
lu prior to the great American revolution, when you thrashed tho British out
of America, Yes, thanks to the. spread
of education, we are aware of those
facts. You cannot blame us if we come
h,ere te study conditions and acquire
knowledge from your people with a
view of doing in the near future what
you have admirably succeeded- la doing
in the past. We dq not doubt our
ability to succeed in our task. We
have hundreds of thousands of Hindus
who have passed through the ranks of
the British army in India. We have
thousands now serving. Then, when
the time comes, the connecting links
of sympathy will manifest their importance. Japan, China (with its hundreds of millions)T Burmah, Afghanistan, Balloochlstftn,: Persia, Egypt,
Turkey—all will be there to see fair
play.
"Russia is broken, no power at home
or abroad, and England will follow
[suit when the hundreds oi millions now
in abject slavery in India rise in their
might and direct them tp the seaports
of Bombay and Calcutta, where ,'ttiey
may take transport to tbe land of their
birth. Yes, in two years' time the
British will be driven out,"
■ Another Indian whom the interviewer
pointed to the result of the mutiny in
1887, to the improvements made in
weapons of warfare since then, and to
the Suez canal, said;
"We have certainly studied all the
points indicated. We have also studied
causes. The British did not suppress
the mutiny. . We suppressed1 it ourselves through caste prejudice. Prior
tp the mutiny the terriiorial system pf
enlistment was in operation; that is,
the several regiments were enlisted-
fr-om the districts, and as a consequence
there was a solidarity among the regiments resulting in the mutiny, After
the restoration of peace reorganization
was effected and the British diplomats,
with a view to preventing a recurrence
of a mutiny, organized regiments with
a certain number of companies of Hindus and Mussel mans, and in the Pun-
jau'b they Introduced,' the Pathan or Afghan. In this mere caste prejijdjpe
was the factor in maintaining discipline. It has worked* well. In the Suez
canal we have nothing to fear. The
canal can be put out of business in a I
few minutes, and Egypt is with us, We
I fully, realize that there are dark ■ times
ahead, and we are prepared to meet
alj exigencies. We are well aware of the
general unrest manifested in all European countries and- we know the
| cause. Our bitter experiences for the
past two years cannot be easily effaced.
We shall, therefore, move majestically
forward, keeping our objective in view.
'India for the Indians.' Here we will
draw the line, proceed in our own
province. The fortifications of Lahore
ment of greater knowledge. Allah will
be with us. Jandi Ka-wechi Kasani
Kiah. Under the flag we have taken
the oath."
Everything seems tp point to the imminence of a native outbreak near bail ore, and the authorities are taking all
the steps possible tp suppress it by force
pf arms. The political unrest is hourly assuming a graver appearance. Bands
of stalwarts armed with bludgeons, who
, have been enlisted by the leaders of
the sedition, are crowding into the native oily, and troops of all arms and
bodies of police, mounted and dismounted, are being drafted- into the
city of Lahore from all parts of the
province. The fortifications of Lahoer
have been subjected to a special inspection. * and the artillerymen have
been reinforced.
The origin of the unrest is to be
j found in tbe agitation for self government conducted by the Punjabi, a native journal.   Some/ime ago the pro
prietbf and -*<!u^r were sentence.-} to.
two years and six months respectively
1 in -prison for inventing statement's to
show that in murder' cases the British
government refused justice to natives
as against Europeans.' On an appeal to
the revising court tlie two years' sentence was reduced to six months.. Whet,
the prisoners were being taken to jai)
the military escort was pelted by a moo
anl isolated. Europeans were assaulted
on the Mail. The serious feature of
the whole affair Is that the Punjab is
full of first rate fighting paen. The
Sikhs are the most warlike race in*
India, and while they have not in
great nitobers taken part in the, rioting, they have not ranged themselves,
on the side of the government or
-spoken out against the lawless nets of:
the Hindus of other races.
Should an organized rising take place
its flrst objective would he tbe capture
of the great Lahore prison , and the
freeing of its 8,<KK> prisoners. The city
is one of the most historic spots in all
Hindustan. It has a population of close
upon) 160,000, the Mohammedans being
a very considerable element. It was
a walled city before the annexation of
the Punjab in 1849, but shortly, afterwards the ditch was filled in and the
walls cut down very materially for
sanitary reasons. The fort, formerly
the stronghold of Ranjlt Singh, is still
held by a small garrison .but the bulk
of the troops are stationed at the Mian
Mir cantonment, some five miles .southeast of Lahore,
The capital of the Punjab is 1,27?
miles from Calcutta and 1,230 miles
from Bombay. It has excellent railway connections, and troops can fo'"-
rushed to the city from both the east
and west coasts of India.

Nelson Transfer Company Importing
Two Carloads of Draught Horses.
George Ferguson, of * the Nelson
Transfer company, starts off this morning for Ontario, where he will select
and1 take over a couple of -carloads of
draught horses for the local trade out
here,
. Mr. Ferguson has been all over Al-
berta recently and in the Okanagan
country, trying to get a number pf
horses to supply the growing demand
in and ground Nelson, but he was unable tp secure heavy enough animals
and has -been forced- to go to1 Ontario
for the class of horses wanted,
8y the time Mr, Ferguson reaches Ontario most of the horses will have been
collected and he will pick out about
30 of tbe best and shi-p them direct to
this city. He expects to get here again
in about three weeks' time. The Ontario horses chosen will run firqm1 1,4$)
to l',600 pounds,; aind wjl-1 be 'suiti&Rl^
for logging -pamps, faming, dray-lug
and. general purposes. There is a
growing demand for draught horses in
this neighborhood, and (Mr, Ferguson
expects this first consignment to be
grabbed up, once they get here.
U. S. IMPORTS OF MEXICAN ZINC.
Since the effectiveness of the ruling
making certain foreign zinc ores non-
dutiable, there is reported to have been
a marked increase of Mexican importations hy United States buyers, says
the Denver Mining Review, who are
offering higher prices than formerly.
Evidence of this is shown by the recent
suspension of operations at several
Mexican -calcining plants, which were'
unable to meet the competitive ore
prices of the .American zinc purchasers,
iThe considerable tonnage of Mexican
ores previously shipped tp Eurppe has
also greatly decreased'.

(Modern Mexico.)
Mexico, the most favored of all the
nations in her dowry of precious metals; famous since the conquest by Cor-
tez for her stupendous production of
(silver, now bids fair to become even
more famous for her production of gold.
For many generations the quest of the
Spanish fortune hunter had been for
the paler metal, which realy constituted the standard of value throughout
the civilized world; gold was almost
treated with contempt in the presence
of the enormous quantity of silver
mined. All the energies of the Spanish
invaders were devoted to the search
for" silver, which was more easily found
and reduced to bullion. Some 'idea of
the disparity in the production of the
two metals during the Spanish occupancy may be gained from the coinage
statistics of the various Mexican mints.
■From 1537, when the flrst money was
issued, to 1821, the coinage of silver
| amounted to $2,081,217,785,095, while
that of gold only amounted to $68,874,-
968 . Since 1821 the coinage of silver
has been increased to $3,563,178,979.34
and that of gold to $131,573,256. These
amounts do not include the coinage
between March 31, 1*905, and March 31,
1907, which will increase" the- totals
very materially. The ratio of increase
in the production of the two metals
since 1821} is largely in favor of gold,
of which was produced in the period
as much as was produced in the previous 300 years, while of silver but
little more than half as much. The
greater portion of this increased production of gold was made in very recent years.
How foolish this neglect of the yellow metal -was by the older prospectors
is being demonstrated at the present
day, when gold mines far exceed ng
In Value any of the 'Spanish antlgua
silver mines are being discovered and
developed. Expert mining men have
said that the time is not far distant
when Mexico will be the first in the
production of gold as she is today flrst
In the production of silver. Her deposits
of gold are the wonder of all- who are
mailing scientific exploratons of our
mineral resources. The marvel grows
each year that it has reserved for the
20th century operators to open up these
long hidden storehouses of the yellow
metal:
The richest and largest deposits of
gold thus far found lie in that region
of Mexico where the three states of
Chihuahua, Sonora and Sinaloa meeti
In the mountain fastnesses of the Surra
■Madre, on the western slope, are be ng
worked today several gold mines of
fabulous1 richness that have been discovered within ten years.
This section has long been famous
for its great silver mines and its gold
placer workings. This district of Alamos, in the state of Sonora, border ng
on Sinaloa and Chihuahua, has been a;
great producer of gold for generations,
principally in placer, though much
gold in recent years has been found
in its copper ores, which are found In
great abundance and richness. It has
j been discovered that as greater depth
is being attained, the gold values of
these copper ores rapidly increase,
which has led many of the ablest mining experts to make ihe prediction tiat
many of the copper deposits ii> -this
section would turn into gold mines entirely at great depths.
The district of Alamos, like all rich'
mining sections in Mexico, has its conditions of great gold and silver mines
abandoned by the ancient workers because of Indian wars, revolutions, the
invasion of water and suffocation with
foul air, which, for lack) of -modern
mining machinery and scientific equipment and handling, the owners could
not prevent. Many of these abandoned
antiguas are being reclaimed and profitably worked with up to date min ng
appliances, under the management of
skilled mining engineers.
The northeastern section of the state
of Sinaloa has long been famous for
its gold deposits. The placer, deposits
along the rivers Choix and Fuerte have
yielded vast .amounts of gold in the past
and are attracting the attention ofi
American capitalists at the present
time. I n this section of Sinaloa is
found the celebrated Guadaloupe de los
Reyes mine, which since 1800 has
produced $85,000,000 and still yields ore
averaging $100 per ton. For years this
mine was the source of many quarrels
and numbeVles -bloody fights between
two families who claimed its ownership. The noted Vega family * longj
held possession, their great wealth and
political power ennabling them to control not only this very rich mine, but
the whole state of Sinaloa.
Not far away, in the neighborhood
of Cosala, lie the celebrated Golconda |
gold mine and the Saragossa silver
mine, which is famous for its beautiful
specimens of virgin silver, ore very
much like the rich specimens found in
the Nipissing mines, in the Cobalt region of Canada. Another famous old
mine near Cosala is the Estaca, -that
was once extremely rich. Tradit on I
says that its owners were so rich and
realized such fortunes from its possession that they ued to lay down silver bricks for their ladies to walk upon
on their .way to church, which were
then taken up again by their servants,
a piece of extravagant gallantry evidencing as well the possession of un- j
limited wealth. Another celebrated
mine, the San Jose de Gracia, which j
has produced many millions,- is also
located in- this region. Many more
mines of - extreme richness that were
once great producers are to be found
fin this .interesting mountainous region
now lying idle and waiting for capital.!
scientific equipment and skilled management to put them Into operat on
again, tb make them yield ten fold
greater than ever before.
Rich as are the gold and silver mines,
quartz and placer, of Sonora and- Slna- j
loa. their production cannot rival those j
of Chihuahua in this section.   In this
zoO is iooated the famous.Batopilas
mine, from which o'-% $160,000,060 has
been* taken. TbiS mine is controlled
by the Shepherd esiate. Many millions
have been spent in opening up the
mine;., tunnels- thousands of feet in
length have been constructed, and
great prosperity is assured this ancient
property for many years to come.
The.iluvia de Oro, probably the
richest gold mine on the -continent, was
found in this corner of Chihuahua less
than five years ago. The richness and
quantity of its ores is •something marvelous. Ore running as high as $30,000
per ton has been taken out. On one
occasion $60,000 worth was dug out in
less than two hours. But little has
been said about this great discovery,
as no stock has ever been offered for
sale and probaTily never will he. The
company owning it is a close corporation "and made up of a very few St.
I Louis and New York capitalists, among,
them B. F. Yoakum, the well known
raiiroad man .chairman of the Rock
[island railroad system, and H. E. Carey,
to whose energy and ex-pert mining- <i '-
ganization is largely due the discovery
and successful operation of this great
property.
I The discovery of the Lluvia de Oro-
will compel a new statement -concerning the deposits of precious metals in
Mexico. The golden age has been
ushered in and some day silver will
have taken second place in Mexico.
(Forty miles south of the Lluvia de
Oro lies the Cal abaci 11 as mine, another
gold property, discovered about six
years ago, which bids fair to rival the
Lluvia de Oro. The mine is of great
.extent in the width and. length) of its
ore deposits and is very high in value,
often above $500 per ton*. One ore
chute now being worked miners of that
section believe will produce millions.
The same people who managed the
Lluvia de Oro are also developing this
property. They have gone about their
work very quietly, such a thing as publicity for speculative purposes being
absolutely wanting. No shares of, this
mine have been offered for sale. The
mine has produced over $500,000 in
the -course.of- the' development work
alone. The ore, like that of the Lluvia
de Oro, is a cyaniding proposition, and
a cyaniding plant of the most scientific
character Is being successfully operated.
This region is of a most beautiful
character, the scenery of the grandest
description, the climate perfect, temperate the year round, no extremes of
Alaskan cold and equatorial heat; ample water and fuel, a spot where work
goes on every day. Railroads are
rapidly pushing their way into this
long neglected region, and some day
there will he a great rush here wlhen
the world wakes up to a knowledge of
its marvelous mineral wealth. A few
American capitalists have, as will be
seen, already pre-empted some of its
richest deposits, thus identifying themselves with the development of the
region, •■»?£?¥

TO BOYCOTTVODKA SHOP
WOULD MEAN A SPEEDY SETTLEMENT OF SOME? RUSSIAN EVILS.
BY  DEPRIVING  GOVERNMENT OF
REVENUE FROM THIS SOURCE.
The New York Independent points
out that the vulnerable point of the
Russian government is its finance, and
proceeds to show how the revolutionaries may quickly obtain their end by
quite peaceful and entirely praiseworthy
means.
With a heavy war debt to pay, with
a constant drain upon the treasury for
maintaining the semblance of order
and ferreting out nests of revolutionists, with a large part of the country
devastated by famine, and with commerce and manufacture crippled 'by
strikes and hard times, the Russian
government would be practically bankrupt if it were not for one branch of
the revenue which has brought in increasing instead of decreasing returns
—that is, the tax on alcoholic spirits.
Marie Antoinette showed a psychological insight for which she has never
received credit when she asked* of -those
who told her that the peasants had no
bread, "Why don't they eat cake, then?''
That is just what the Russian people
are doing now. Deprived of the necessities of life, they have taken to its
luxuries. Thrown out of work, they
devote themselves to play. Travelers
tell us that the capital was never more
gay. The higher classes are lavish* in
expending money on balls, theaters
and dinners, and the lower classes are
imitating them so far as their means
permit or farther, by indulging more
than ever in gambling and .drink. From
the latter habit the government reaps
a double harvest, the internal revenue
tax upon liquor, and the retailer's profit,
for Count Witte, the Tillman of Russia,
made the sale of vodka a government
monopoly. In 1906 the vodka shops
yielded a net profit of i5284.219.000, and j
the minister of finance, in presenting
the budget -to the douma, ' estimated
that this year the revenue from that
source wuold be $362,500,000. To this
must be added the revenue, from the
tax on spirits, which in 1906 was $15,-
407-,000. Tobacco can also be classed
with vodka as a similar and not indispensable luxury. The tax on this
produced $24,339,000 in 1906. Altogether
this makes nearly a third of the total
ordinary revenue of the Russian government, which in the same year was
$1,013,929,000, The first douma broke
with the government because it demanded that the crown domains be
given to the public, yet the revenue
from the lands and forests of the state
was onl y$38,392.000, less than a tenth
of that derived from the liquor traffic.
Evidently, then, the Russian people
have in their own hands a more powerful weapon than assassination,
strikes or mutiny. In a perfectly
peaceful manner they can, if they will,
throw the government into bankruptcy
and force it to grant their terms. When
the czar dissolved the douma most of
the members went to Viborg and called
upon the peasants to revenge them by
refusing to pay taxes. By this act
J they put themselves in a revolutionary
attitude and ruined their political careers and risked their lives and fortunes, because it gave the government
an excuse to prosecute them in the
courts and cut thm off from the second
douma. By this act they accomplished
nothing, for the peasants do not pay
any direct taxes to amount to anything.
If instead of their jeu de paume oath
.they had signed the temperance pledge
and called upon the peasants to. do
likewise, they might have accomplished
something. • It is claimed that nine-
tenths ox some such fraction of the
peasants are, in favor of the revolution.
If so they ought to be willing to drink
water for a while for the good of the
cause.   It would also cool their blood.
'Probably If would not be necessary
J for them to abstain for more than a
month or two. A week to show their
power, as they did in the strikes of last
year, might be sufficient, for the mere
threat of depriving the revenue of
something like $400,000,000 would produce a greater effect upon foreign bondholders than the pleadings of revolutionist emissaries and the resolutions
jOf American mass meetings. Let Uje
terrorists organize Bands of Hope and
lodges of Good Templars instead of
bunds and conspiracies.. Let them import and circulate temperance tracts
instead of anarchistic'literature. Let
them manufacture ginger ale and soda
pop instead of bombs. So long as the
peasants and workingmen of Russia refuse to boycott the vodka shop, which
is their worst enemy, both nationally
and individually, tbey will ' not gain
the sympathy to which the righteousness of their cause entitles them.

GOOD FIELD FOR INVESTMENT
Trout Lake Mining Review Tells of Opportunities in the Lardeau
As a field for investment the Trout
Lake district offers inducements which
are unexcelled in the province.
Surrounding the lake and tributary
to it, are vast stretches of virgin forest
in which are to be found the finest kind
of cedar, pine, spruce and hemlock. Reliable cruisers, who have covered ,the
ground, estimate the merchantable timber at not less than 700,000.000 feet.
While all this timber will not be manufactured at Trout Lake, the logging operations have to be carried on/'which
[will bring grist to the mill of the Trout
Lake business man. A large portion
will, however, be manufactured at Trout
Lake City by a company who will begin as soon as the snow is off the
ground to erect an up to date plant.
The mineral resources are now being
developed in a systematic manner. The
Silver Cup has proven to be a mine of
exceeding richness. As depth is attained, the ore shoots are proving to be permanent and of equal value to 'the surface showings. The lowest level of
the mine is now nearly 800 feet, vertical
depth, from the surface at which point
the ore body shows strong and gives
every indication of continuace.
Broadview development ares proving up large bodies of ore.which will
give employment to hundreds of men
in the near future. This company intends to put in their own reduction
works at some point on Trout lake
which will add materially to the prosperity of the district.
We are informed that a Spokane company will during the summer harness
up the immense water power of the
Lardeau river and supply electric power
to the whole surrounding country, on
practically the same lines as the West
Kootenay Power and Light Co.
1 Another industry, which as yet is
only in its infancy, but which has great
possibilities, is the ranching, market-
gardening and small fruits. The valley between Trout Lake and Beaton is
fertile and rich and will add- thousands
of dollars arinually to the wealth of
the district.
As a summer resort and for tourist
travel the Lardeau presents an ever
changing scene of beauty. ,
In the valleys and foothills are found
lakes and streams abundantly supplied
with all kinds of fish, while higher up
in the peaks and glaciers the hunter
can delight in getting after the bigger
game. Here the tourist can have a climate unsurpassed., No excessive heat,
no mosquito pests everything that is
lovely and nothing that is vile.

CALL TO *DB PEOPLE SOUNDED BY
FAMOUS HEBREW ORATOR.
FRANK OLIVER IN CALGARY
Minister of the 'Interior Talks* of Irrigation Projects.
Calgary, May 14.—In an interview today Hon. Frank Oliver stated' that the
government was taking important steps
in regard to irrigation in the provinces
of Alberta and Saskatchewan. At present they were investigating the district
north of Mdicine Hat, Bowen, the Red
Deer and Bow rivers. On the report of
engineers to a great extent it would be
decided whether the government
would enter upon the matter of irrigation or not. He stated further that
there are more applications in now for
irrigation propositions than there are
districts to be irrigated, but at present
the government was rather holding off
the applications. He stated furl her that
new coal regulations had been issued
the day before he left Ottawa. The new
regulations are in line with the announcement by Mr. Oliver some weeks
ago. In future no coal lands will he
sold, but 21-year leases will be granted.
Washington, May 15.—<Ra&bi Abram
Si mo n, j the famous Hebrew orator,
sounds a bugle call to his people in* a
warning that is fraught with profound
interest to Jew and Gentile alike the
whole world over. He is the pastor
of the Washington Hebrew congregation, and during his residence inj
Washington has -firmly established'
himself as one of the nation's* leading
•religious workers, cultured- preachers
and profound thinkers. With the material aid of several prominent Hebrews
he keeps that race fo the foremost in
every big liberal movement here and
in the country. A few words about his
early life may be of interest He was
born in Nashville, Tenn., and at an
early age moved to Cincinnati. Ohio.
There he subsequently graduated from
the Cincinnati university, and from the
Hebrew Union college, receiving from
the former the degree of A. B., and from
•the latter the enviable title of rabbi.
His first charge was in Sacramento,
Cal., where he was for some years! the
guiding spirit in the Society for ■ the I
Prevention of Cruelty to Children. {Later he was a pastor for five years in
Omaha, Neb., and from there he came
to Washington in February, 10W. , So
successful has he been as a rabbi thta he j
has been re-elected for another term of
five years. He is one of the leading
instructors at George Washington university; and is highly regarded by all
classes of the people. He was married
in 1896 to Miss Carrie Obendorfer of
Cincinnati in 1896, by whom he has two
sons',
v Discussing "Some Jewish1 Problems"
J and reviewing the persecutions which
the Jews have endured for the past
3,500 years, he says that the "Jew as
8 race is. passing: away. The greatest
difficulty with which the Jew had to
contend for the last 3.5 centuries is that
of ■ prejudice,. and that because all nations have objected to the Jewish interpretation of the Ruler of the Universe.
His history throughout all the ages
has shown him to be an intense individualist,, a believer in the unity ot"
God, and in this 'belief he will accept
no compromise.
"It is because of his 'steadfast devotion to the faith of his fathers that he
has been made the victim of a prejudice
unworthy of Christianity, and of manhood and womanhood. The Jew as a
race has practically passed away, and
he is today the. cosmopolite of the;
world. The pure blood of Abraham
does not run in my veins more than
lo yours. The Jews of today are descended from the two tribes, numbering
42,000,' who returned after their wanderings in Palestine. How. much purej
blood is left to their descendants, who
•for the past 3,500 years have been' put
to the vilest persecutions?
'Though it is said! a Jew is known
by his racial characteristics, his desire
to acquire money, his determination to
exact the pound, of felsh and an eye
-for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, the
world is beginning to realize that these
racial characteristics are rapidly passing away, and that the Jew is of that
country in which he resides, an Ameri-'
can, German, Frenchman or Russian.
These* nations, however, refuse to accept him because of his belief that God J
is a -unit. The time has come to think
of the Jew as a human being, and to
realize that all the persecutions to which
he has been subjected have done the
world no good.
"If the descendants of the two tribes]
who returned to Palestine are responsible for all the sins laid at their door
by Russia and' other countries of Eu- j
rope, what would be the result if the ten j
lost tribes were resurrected The task
of the Jew today is not to burden himself with the. troubles of his race, or,
following the dream of the prophets,
to return to Palestine, there to found
a nation respected by the world, but
to make that country in which he lives
his nearest and dearest possession." •
