SECONDED BY SCHOFIELD
(YMIR) — A. B. M'PHILLIPPS
(ISLANDS) LIKELY TO SECURE
THE NEW PORTFOLIO,
(Special to The Daily News)
•Victoria, Jan, 17—Press Gallery Legislative Assembly—Attorney general Bowser
gave notice of an act to regulate Immigration, re-enacting the Natal act as before,
except the typographical errors.
Hawthornthwalte's resolution Imp'aching the lieutenant governor, recites the
passing of the act; the refusal of his as*
sent; that the lieutenant governor waa not
advised by the premier to refuse; that the
lieutenant governor mado in his private
capacity a contract with the Canadian
Nippon company, to procure 500 coolies for
his mines; that as the action or the lieutenant governor was unconstitutional and
tends to destroy confidence In constitutional and responsible government. Resolved
that this house emphatically condemns any
such unconstitutional proceedings and hce-
by applies to the governor general to Investigate into all the various matters and
charges und should the factg prove to be
as staled In this resolution, that lie dismiss forthwith Hon. James Dunsmnir from
the office of lieutenant governor of the
province of British Columbia
Oliver asks a return of the timber lands
-now under lease; how many acres of timber lands were held under special license
between December, 1933 and Dcemper, 1W,
are special timber licenses iransferrable;
how mitny have been transferred.
Hawthornthwaite'B resolution will place
the premier ln a tight place nnd while
Hawthornthwalte's support by vote will
Include only a small following, tho opposition will use it as ammunition and a
lively fight Ib anticipated.
ThB supreme court oraendment act provides for continuous sittings in Vancouver
except during vacation and public holidays.
McPhllllps (Islands) will probably get the
new portfolio of minister of lands and
works, although many think nn up country member should get It.
Taylor moved the address in reply to the
King's speech. He reviewed the hi tory of
Immigration legislation since 1886, when
the first head lax ot $50 was Imposed, to
the present tax of (uOO. The government
claims that under the B.N.A. act power
Is vested In the legislature to deal with
certain mutters of immigration acts, but
these were disallowed when passed, the
federal government claiming It only has
that power. The Japanese treaty as ratified In 1907 provided for the unrestricted
Immigration of Jnpanese, but FI her *uted
in 1903. that an agreement existed to restrict it to 400 or BOO annually, but 10.COO
have come In. He claimed that the agree*
ment should have been embodied. In the
treaty, but wns not. The premier of Canada did not understand the needs or the
province and our liberal members ot parliament should have voted against It. Win.
Templman nnd Ralph Smith, who when
members of the assembly protested,, against
this immigration, voted for the treaty without raising their voices against tile immigration feature. All did tho same; except
Kennedy, who In the end voted for the
adoption of the treaty. Eastern Canadians
do not understand the labor question here,
but the B.C. men did and are responsible
for the deplorable occurrence ln Vancouver, published throughout the world, which
blames the people/of the province. The
provocation was Indeed great; steamer after steamer arrived flooded with, human
that B.C. should be fined for entering ».
Touching on the premier** stand on better terms of which he gave the history, he
complained that a certain section of the
press handled the question disparagingly.
The premier wrung from the authorities
nt Ottawa the admission that they had to
hear any Individual province's claim for
equitable consideration. It was never the
intention of the fathers of confederation
thut B. C. should be fined for enerlng It.
Since 1871 this province had paid 20 millions over what It had received 111 return,
resulting In high taxation. The intention
of confederation was that If such questions
between tho province and the federal government arose or between the province,
they could be taken up at Ottawa.
Fielding said that B.C .came to Ottawa
with a grievance. The grievance exists
and Fielding's province (Nova Sootlai had
threatened to accede under similar circumstances. British Columbia would not attempt to go so fnr as It could depend upon
Its local government getting recognition.
Turning to finance Taylor compared the
state of 1903 and the present, and predicted
ln the neighborhood of $1,000,000 surplus in
the present budget.
With regard to timber he pointed out that
In 1906 mlllmen and tho industry were subject to hardships and that the action of
tho government In providing security of
title for 21 years led to an improvement
and sb a consequence the Industry produced In revenue during tho yenr 91,260,000.
The government, feeling that aufftclont
revenue from lumber had been obtained,
felt Justified In reserving from location
any further timber. Over six and a half
mllllan acres of timber lands wero leased
under special llcenso, sufficient for many
yR« to come,
With regard to mining, Mr. Taylor said
a fall of prices ln 1907 of metals, particularly copper, and some labor troubles, led
-PROVINCIAL
to the closing down of mines and smei.ei-s,
fortunately now adjusted. The coal mines
produced last year about four and a half
millions and tho industry Ib ln a moat
flourishing condition. The Crow's NeBt
Pass Coal company has doubled Its capacity and new mines were to be opened up
at Hosmer by the C.P.R. The speaker
next touched on civil service reform, surmising that a superannuation fund would
be created by a system of Insurance by
members of the service added to a nucleus
from the government of 11000.
The proposed alteration In the fiscal year
would bring the estimates more in conformity with the time the money Is available,
the spring being the bost period for public works. The new surveys would be of
great use, but expensive. Owing to extensive settlement the time had arrived for
these.
Under the present act, before commencing cutting mlllmen must make tt survey
of their limits and frequently find fractions
of a strip running between their lines, some
short, some long, and If not located, are a
sourse of danger from forest fires. The
adjoining holders, Mr. Taylor said, should
be allowed possession of these fractions.
With' regard to the renewal of licenses,
mlllmen paying In advance should be allowed a small concession. Give them 30
days after licenses elapse In which to renew. There should be no forfeiture of Investment because of neglect to renew ln a
short time. He asked the government to
take these Important matters Into consideration,;
Schofleld, Ymlr, seconded the motion. He
praised the work of the Irrigation commission. Fruit grown on Irrigated land, shown
In Vancouver, was of the highest quality,
values of lands were Improved by Irrigation, Instancing his own neighborhood. The
proposed bill providing for the distribution
and storing of water and Irrigation was
much needed.
With regard to surveys, Shcofleld said
that last year 291 square miles were surveyed and topographical maps made. Topo-
graphlcals were the foundation ot ull other
maps, giving the nature of the ground,
whether mineralized, etc., and were a prime
need. They could be made for ?5 an acre,
and wero most necessary.
The university bill, he said, would be of
great benefit to those coming after. Inasmuch as provision would be made for
practical subjects nnd It would not be confined to the usual courses.
As work done In the latter part of September costs 10 per cent more than ear lor
In the year, the wisdom of n change In the
fiscal year was shown. The department of
public works requires an additional minister, having moBt of the work. From
1903 to 1907 the mineral production was
25 1-2 million. The department of mines
was admirably conducted and the success
of the Industry was largely due to the
friendly way capital and labor have met,
As long ;ih this policy was pursued there
was no doubt the industry would flourish.
Charities and hospitals, he pointed out,
have received needed help and the Children's aid society Is doing a vust amount of
good, only appreciated by those seeing it.
Hawthornthwaite on a question of privilege culled attention to the closing down
Indefinitely of the Protection und Brechin
mines, Nanalmo, laying off 250 men. A
number of these were biought out from the
north of England hy agents of the company, also by representations of agents or
the government. Steps should he taken to
furnish employment for them, government
work If necessary.
The premier suld he appreciated the motive of Hawthornthwaite In his statemopt
of the Intent labor conditions at Nunulmo
and the hardships that might ensue. Probably an improvement might come in the
spring of 1908, as it did In 1907. Fortunately
the fact that the extension of the Esquimau und Nanalmo railway to Albemi, wus
to be carried on forthwith, would permit of
employment being given these men. In
respect to government wo k, he could not
call to mind any new rouds or works, but
should It be In the power nf the government, he assured tho house that no time
would be lost In undertaking them. Ab to
men brought out by agent* or the government. It was true, that the government
had been seeking to bring desirable Immigrants to British Columbia, but certain
statements made by Hawthornthwaite last
year as to Immigration, were absolutely
without  foundation.
House then adjourned until 2 p.m. on
Monday.

LATEST DEMONSTRATION  IN LONDON  BY   WOULD-BE VOTERS
Loudon, Jan. 17.—The arrival of the
ministry in Downing street this morning to attend the first meeting of the
cabinet before the assembling of parliament was made the occasion of a public demonstration by the women sffra-
glats. The police anticipated trouble

bell-Bannermnn and five arrests were
made berore order waa restored. Some
of the demonstrants resorted to a novel
method to prevent being carried off by
the police. They had attached to their
belts stout chains which, when they
Bdw the police about to lay hands on
them, they quickly threw around the
Iron railing in front of the building.
The police had to break these chains
by force before they could get the women away.

— REASONS WHY CANADA
SHOULD HAVE ITS OWN MINT-
KING'S REPORT UPON THE
VANCOUVER  RIOTING.
(Special to The Daly News)
Ottawa, Jan. 17. — Today's session
commenced by the premier Baying, in
anBwer to R. L. Borden, that pobU
inaBter-geueral Lemieux would make a
statement regarding his mission to
Japan on Tuesday. While no announcement was made it Ib expected that Mc-
Kenzie King's report of the investigation into the Vancouver troubles will
be brought down on Monday.
W. H. Bennett, Slmcoe, introduced tbe
question ot original documents m the
public accounts committee this morning
und after discussion, which at one time
threatened to grow acrimonious, Hon.
Pugsley promised the desired papers,
which refer to dredging contracts, and
which will be left in charge of the clerk
of the committee as long as Bennett desired.
'Knowles, Assiniboia .West, on a question of privilege, quoted from the Morning Citizen, tne toilowing extract trom
a speech by A. C. Mucdouuell, Toronto
Boutn, made before the Borden club
last Thursday evening ub an example
of how the government does things.
Macdonnell went on to say that the liberals have suddenly realized there was
a great frost. The western members
knew nothing of it, but the liberals
wanted to corrupt the electors of the
west and so passed a resolution on this
Plea, providing aid for settlers whose
wheat was frozen. He (Macdonnell)
thought help would be given for no
other purpose than to win the votes
of the less Intelligent electors. Knowlea
denied that any such resolution was
passed. He had had personal interviews with Calder, acting premier, and
Hon. Motherwell and knew something
or the situation. He resented Ihe statement that there would be corruption In
connection with the distribution of seed
grain. He characterized the charges as
savage and absolutely unfounded.
Knowles said he did not know If hid
quarrel were with tho newspaper office
or Mr. Macdonnell. The latter was not
present, but Dr. Uoche, who was also
present ut the meeting, denied tho accuracy of the rerort. He thought that
In the absence of Macdonnell It was only
(air to say that the report of his remarks did not convey their meaning.
Macdonnell. made the same statement on
Ihe floor of the house lust Thursday,
when he stated In the house that Ihe
government could uso Ibis distribution
as a political lever to purchase votes as
won as grain. Nothing more than this
was said hy .Macdonnell.
E. Norman Lewis, Huron West, gave
notlvc of a bill to amend tbe criminal
code respecting assaults ou women aud
children. It provides not only for adequate punishment for assailants of women, but provides tho death penalty lor
any man who criminally assaults a
child under 14. He also gives notice
of a bill to amend the Criminal Code regarding offensive weapons. The chief
provision Is that anyone convicted of
committing bodily harm with an offensive weapon shall be punished by not leBs
than two or more than five years Imprisonment at hard labor and In addition shall he whipped not more than
thrice with 10 stripes at each whipping.
Boyce, Algonia, complained that G. T.
P. contractors had been making purchases of'ties In Montana, while there
were plenty to be had In Canuda.
Hon. W. S. Fielding promised to look
into the matter. He agreed that it Important they should be bought in Canada, but moro important that they
should be bought quickly.
James, Conmee, said Ihe Canadian
supply is ample but not available, owing
to Ontario  timber  laws. '
Public works supplies were then taken
up and the opposition criticised the expenditure on the British and Canadian
mint, which will cost, when completed,
half a million dollars. The conservatives argued that the coinage would
cost moro than under tho old system.
Hon. w. S. Fielding admitted greater
cost but said it wns worth something
to maintain tho national dignity.
Bennett accused the government of
retiring deputy minister of public works
(lobell to make a place for J. B. Hunter,
The minister of public works, Pugsley, said there was no truth In this.
Gobell wns anxious for superannuation
and Hunter was well qualified for the
post.
New regulations are gazetted govern-
In gthe leasing of school lands In the
west for coal mining purposes. Heretofore 20-year leases have been permitted, with a rental of 30 cents an acre
and a royalty of 10 cents per ton. Henceforth the term shall be 21 years, the
ground rent shall he $11 an acre and
tho royalty shall be five cents a ton.
The lessee must commence active operations within a year. No person may
lease more than 640 acres.
The Gazette contains notice of an application  of   the  Bank of Commerce
for permission to increase its capital
stock  by  $5,000,000.
Hon. L. P. Brodeur goes to Stanstead
on Monday to take part ln the bye-election there.   1
The Hon. George P. Graham is in
South Huron in the interests of McLean,
liberal candidate for the commons.
A deputation representing the Independent Order of Foresters, including
B. C. Stevenson, supreme chief ranger,
and other high officials, Is ln Ottawa interviewing Fielding and the superintendent of insurance regarding the new
insurance bill before parliament.
The foresters object to the clause requiring all new insurance done hy fraternal societies to be based on the nation fraternal tables of mortality. The
enforcement of this clause, according to
Stevenson, would practically put three-
fourths of the Foresters out of business
in Canada.
The deputation asked that the clauses
of the bill dealing with fraternal Insurance be held over for a year in order
that all societies he glevn an opportunity of discussing the clauses with a
view of making suggestions, etc. Fielding promised consideration of the request.

WASHINGTON IS ALARMED
DISTRIBUTION  OF JAPAN'S  FLEET
CAUSE   OF   ANXIETY
HIGH-HANDED   ACTION   OF JAPAN
RE  PROPOSED  RAILWAY
Tokio, Jan. 17.—The foreign office Is
lu receipt of a despatch from Washington pointing out that there is much uneasiness in America in consequence of
sensational reports emanating from Europe concerning the distribution of the
Japanese naval fleet. While not Inclined to treat the matter seriously the
Japanese officials have assured the Associated Press thut the governments of
the various countries are lu possession
of ull the facts connected with Japan's
distribution of their warships through
Lhelr attaches at Tokio.
Admiral Sato, minister of marine,
said today that he waa willing to make
a full statement if It would in any way
allay u sentiment, but he considered the
rumors from Europe hardly worth attention.
It is conceded among the flounders of
Japan that the difficulties in the budget
are entirely duo to two causes, overex-
peudlture for the army, the navy and
nationalization of railroads, which Is
now considered to have been a vital
error in national finance.
The diplomatic relations between
China and Japan over the proposed Sim-
[ntln-Auluinien railroad have reached a
stage wherein Japan has ussumed a
most linn uttltude and has nssured
China that a railroad parallelling the
South Manchurlnn shall not be built,
because it violates both the spirit and
the letter of the Pekln treaty. A British
syndicate has proposed to build the railroad. The correspondent of the Associated Press has been Informed by the
authorities at Tokio thut under no circumstances will Japan permit construction to commence. In reply to the
question:
■'What will you do about It?" a member of the cabinet replied:
"We will stop you."
That Japan would not permit the construction of the proposed railroad was
intimated to China more or less forcibly
nearly three weeks ago.
The reason given for this refusal, according to despatches from Pekln, are
that a parallel line would Injuriously affect the Japanese railroad and the Chinese rejoinder that the line would not be
built neater the Japanese line than is
customary in loreign countries, Is held
by the Japanese government to be untenable.
This step by Japan, according lo
Pekln exasperated Englishmen who had
capital Invested in the line and It was
characterized In China as another evidence of tlie monopolistic attitude of
Japan   in  Manchuria.
Shortly after the first announcement
ot the Japanese attitude, exception
thereto was taken by Oreat Britain. In
view of the official action taken by the
Japanese, that government was considered to have committed a violation of
the understanding of equal rights that
affected  British  interests,

New York, Jan. 17.—A series of surprises brought the Thaw trial near a
crisis today. Both Evelyn Thaw, the
wife, and Mrs. William Thaw, the
mother were on the stand and just as
the former was about to relate (*new the
story ot her life, as she told it io Thaw
In Paris In 1903, district attorney Jerome
suggested that In the Interests of public morals, nil persons, save, those homed iatey Interested In the case, should

the recital of what he termed a "horrible tale." The motion included the representatives ot newspapers as well as
the public generally.
HOT CONTEST
Warm Hockey Game Between
Rossland and Nelson
HOME TEAM IS WINNER
.ONE OF THE BEST EVER SEEN IN
KOOTENAY ENDS WITH A VICTORY FOR THB GREEN AND
THE WHITE—PLAY WAS FAST
BUT  ROUGH.
Nelson won, nnd won on her merits, with
n score of 7-3 from a crackerjuck Rowland
team In the first hockey mutch of the season, played at the Stanley street rink lust
night, before the largest crowd that has
turned out to a game In this city, and it Is
safe to say that those who witnessed their
first match, will from now on bo enthusiastic supporters of the game.
It was a great game! Rough? Well just
a little that way; some of the Rossland
players proved themselves to be adepts In
the art of tripping and the body cheeking
on both sides was, to say the least, good
and stout. The first halt was f succession
of slashing, tripping and good hard body
checking, but the second half was cleaner
and a better brand of hockey.
Patrick and Archie Bishop made the natives sit up and take notice, and the former sent the crowd wild with soma of tils'
loap-the-loop dashes up the Ice. Archie
wns a very busy boy nt center, and both
were closely checked through out.
Neal and Rliance or Rossland proved to
he expert stick handlers and veiy foxy
players.
"Big Joe" Thompson, ns he Is familiarly
called, made good In bis new position at
cover and negotiated a few ri.she.-i that
didn't hurt   the  score.
It wus a great buttle for honors between
the goal keepers, and they were both kept
busy, but the general verdict was that
Harry Bishop Is still the same "little
wizard."
The Rossland  boys say they will give u
better account of themselves on their own
ice, but Nelson team supporters are quite
us anxious to see their team on that rink
ns Itosslund is to have them, so when the
return gume comes off "There'll be some-
thin' doln' nil the time." The line up was
ns follows:

made a wicked slush at ICemp and was
warned. ' Patrick grit tbe puck and mado

then Jumped on, with Ihe result that hH
ribs were bent a little. Rosslnud bad a
short session with the puck, but Hairy
Bishop made n beautiful slop. Neal went
to the fence for tripping and McCaUgltetty
got "time" for butting Patrick over the
head. The first half ended with the score
1-1.
At tlie start of the second half referee
Deacon called the players to tin center nnd
warned them against rough luetics, saying
that the first offender would go off for 10
minutes.
Nelson Started out In great style ami a
pretty piece of combination work In which
Steel, Kemp and Archie Bishop figured,

beautiful shot. Time 10 minutes. Nelson,

Rowland now got very busy and BOmo
excellent play resulted, making, dash after

and the Nelson defense were equal to the
occasion and relieved each onslaught. Joe
Thompson nnd Neal got In a mlxup and
were going to put each other out of business, but tlie referee called It off. Play
Marled agnln und Patrick mnde a dazzling
rush, which held tho spectator sp lltmund,
but was stopped When be got In dangerous
Quarters, by McCnugherty. Archie Whop,
not to he outdone, took a chance, and after
one of the most spnwitlonal minutes of tho
game, got through the whole hunch and
"cored for lite boys In green and white.
Time 3 minutes.
Nelson began tojhow better form and
played faster. Kemp, Steele, Bishop and
Bcllros came up the Ice and BeHrose tallied
Time 2 minutes.
Neal for Rossland was successful after
some brilliant comblnutlaon play In getting
the rubber past Bishop.   Time 3 minutes.
Just here Patrick went up the rink like
lightning and bad succeeded In getting
past everyone, when McCreary skated out
to relieve, and they both went down with
a crash, McCreary having to retire for 10
minutes.
When play started again Kemp mnde a
clean shot from the left side near center
and the elusive rubber slipped past McCreary, making Nelson one more to the
good.   Time 1 minute.
Rossland players now went nt it for

Thompson got a combination to work and
Joe landed the rubber in the net. Time 5
minutes.
Rossland tried hard again to tally, and
after several hot rushes, Dickson scored.
Time,  2 minutes.
Rossland again attneked Nelson goal aggressively and had several ctoBe calls to
a score. They worked hard and were
playing cleaner hockey than ln the earlier
stages but the Nelson defence was always
able to relieve and tbe 10th game was
scored by Nelson after as pretty a combination play as was seen during tlie evening,
being negotiated by Bishop, Bellrosc and
Kemp. Time 2 minutes.

BONSPIEL IS ARRANGED
WILL START ON  TUESDAY MORNING,   JANUARY   21
WILL     PROBABLY    OCCUPY    THE
WHOLE OF THE WEEK
At a meeting of the executive of the
B. C. Curling association, held yesterday afternoon at the Hume hotel, final
arrangements were made for the Bonspiel next week. It wus decided, that
as several of the rluks could not get
here on Sunday evening, that there
would be no use in attempting to start
play till Tuesday morning. In consequence wires were sent to the Boundary
advising Hie links coming In from
there that they would lie expected In on
Monday night and arrangements for
their reception were being made accordingly. The play is likely to last all
through Hie week. Whether it will or
will not finish on Saturday night entirely depends upon the number of rinks
present. However there are six sheets
office available, four at the lower and
two at the upper rink.
The drawing will take place on Monday night and will he entirely in Ihe
builds of G. A. Hunter, who has undertaken the secretarial duties of the bonspiel. Among the rinks coming are two
from Greenwood, McMytin and Dill.
From Phoenix there will he at least ono
rink, thai of Morln, From Grand Forks
the outlook is not as bright but Norman Mclnnes Is doing his best to bring
across u rink from the Gateway City,
From Rossland there are three rinks
expected and from Cranbrook a couple.
Kaslo will also send down u rink but
from Sandon there are no expectations.
These, all arriving, will make a total
of visiting rinks of 10. in addition there
are three other possibilities. The ranchers on the arm are talking of sending
down a rink, if the Nelson club will
lend them stones. This, of course, has
been promised, hut whether the ranchers will be able to come to the scratch
or not remains to lie proven. John A.
Turner, who is at the const, is thinking
of bringing up a rink of old Kootenay
residents and from Edmonton, J. Rue
has promised to do the same thing.
However, as the strength of the Nelson
Curling club Is close on to 100, there
will be no difficulty In gelling rinks
to place agalnsl each and every one of
the visitors.

WAGE SCHEDULE -SETTLED
(Special lo The Dal'y Newsj
Edniouton.Jan. 17.—At a result of a
conference between representatives of
the miners and mine owners of Edmonton district, which was concluded yesterday, n scale of wages for miners in
this district lias been fixed. The new
scale Is a lengthy one and gives in detail the wages for the different phases
of mining. Roughly speaking, the waves
lor miners will tie jl per ton at the
face of the mine. It is estimated by
the mine owners that it coats the mine
operators another $1 per ton to deliver
the coat at the mine mouth and stilt
another Jl for hauling the coal. This
makes tlie aggregate cost of coal to the
owner, $11 per ton. The present market

ACADEMIC HONORS IN GLASGOW'S
UNIVERSITY SOUGHT BY WELL
KNOWN STATESMEN-LIBERAL
LEADER'S POSITION UPON
HOME  RULE.
London, Jan. 17—Sir Henry Campbeil-
Bannerman, the prime minister, and lord
Curzon of Kedleaton have just been selected rival liberal and conservative candidates for the lord rectorship of Glasgow
university. A piquant contest Is expected
to ensue In view of the fact of lord Cur-
zon's recent complaint that be nas been
debarred from entering the house of lord*
by the ordinary channels by the refusal
of prime minister Campbell-Bnnncrman to
allow him to take his place with all tlie
other viceroys of India on the benches of
the upper house. When this statement was.
made it was supposed that when Curzon
retired as viceroy of India he Intimated
that as an ex-viceroy, lie wished to bo
made an English peer, and sir Henry refused to recommend   him.
It is believed tlie liberals have another
home rule hill in contemplation and that it
has received what Is regarded as the slgnl-
tleant support of Alexander Ure, solicitor
general ol Scotland. This afternoon Mr..
Ure addressed the students, of Glasgow uui--
verslty on the contest for the lord restor*
ship of the university. Ho remakreu that
the premier's name would be associated
With ipany great reforms.
"Home rub/' suggested a voice in tha
audience.
To this Mr. lire replied: "I fervently hope
and I am convinced that my ciiief shared
the hope, that ids mime will be associated
with tlie grunting to our fellow countrymen In Ii eland full and unfettered control
of their own affairs."

UP-TO-DATE NEWS SERVICE
It will, perhaps, not be out of place
at thla time to refer briefly to certain
features of The Daily News' news service that should commend themselves
to the residents of southern British
Columbia. Readers of The Daily News
are the only newspaper readers in British Columbia who, upon the day of publication, can follow the proceedings of
parliament at Ottawa and of the legislature at Victoria of the day previous.
It is ,of course, true that the Victoria
papers publish the dally proceedings of
the legislature, hut neither paper publishes a dally report of the proceedings
at Ottawa, The Vancouver papers take
a very concise telegraphic summary of
the legislature proceedings, but no
Ottawa report. No other daily paper
west of Winnipeg attempts to give its
readers anything like jthe mn-to-daite
news service given by The Dally News
ami this may fairly be said to be one
of the reasons why the proprietor of
The Dally News does mot own real
estate within the city limits. The policy
of this paper is to put hack into the
paper every cent of earnings. Until
quite recently that course was unavoidable its it was frequently necessary to
put up far more than the earnings.
Now that revenue is more closely on a
piir with operating expenses a policy of
expansion Is being pursued. The paper
has been enlarged, new machinery has
been Installed and every effort is made
to give subscribers better value for their
money than Is given hy any other newspaper in tlie west. To those who judge
a newspaper, merely by Us size, The
Daily News must still be a very trifling
affair, but lo those who look to their
dally paper to keep them informed of
what Is going on ln the world and particularly with regard to matters of special interest, such as the proceedings
of their representative bodies, The Daily

News is becoming more of a necessity
every day. The proof of the wiBdom of
the policy pursued by The Dally News
must be found in its circulation returns
and as each succeeding month sees Its
circulation increase and become more
widespread we are convinced that the
people of southern British Columbia appreciate a live newspaper and that The
Dally News is really filling a want.
EDITORIAL NOTES
The Dally News learns that there are
two prerequisites to the securing of
a house to house mall delivery, a popu
lation of ten thousand or over as well
asV» post office revenue of $20,000 per
annum. Nelson city fulfils the latter
of these two requirements but not the
flrst. It la an Interesting coincidence
that New Westminster city should be
ln exactly tbe opposite position, the
population of that city exceeds ten
thousand, but the post office revenue Is
only In the neighborhood of $15,000 per
annum, hence the Royal City has no
house to house delivery. Nelson's population is steadily growing and ft is not
unreasonable to anticipate that before
many years elapse it will reach the
mark at which the house to house delivery of mail will be In order.
 HEID'S DAMAGE CLAIM8
St. Johns, Nfld., Jan. 17—Railroad contractor Reid, promoter of the Reld-Ncw-

competing with one ot bis'lines which
has been ln operation for sovernl years.
Tbe litigation between Reid and Newfoundland has existed for some time, due to dls>
agreements over contracts.   Reid baa al
ready obtained several millions of dollars
from the colony as damages due to tne
government amending a railway contract
made with him In 1898. The contractor
has also a claim of $550,000 against tht
government for rolling stock furnished.

DOUMAMEMBERSAPPEAL
UA3E» TO COMB UP AT REASSEMBLING OP PARLIAMENT
DEPUTIES NOW AT LIBERTY—LOSS
OF POLITICAL RIGHTS
t. Petersburg Jan. 17.—Execution of
the sentence of three months imprisonment Imposed on each of the 167 members of the first douma who were convicted of treason in signing the Vibotg
manifesto, and which to have become effective on Monday, has been delayed
by an appeal from the sentence to the
senate,1 the highest tribunal in Russia,
parliament will convene on Thursday
and the appeal of the ex-legislators will
be among the first matters considered.
If the sentence is ratified by the senate, there can be no further argument
of the case and the convicted men will
either have to serve out their sentences
of flee from Russia. The former deputies are now at liberty without bail as
the goevrnment considered it inadvisable to order their arrest until the case
Is finally settled. While the sentence imposed is mild, It will, if sustained be
a severe blow to the constitutionalists
since it carries with it the loss of all
political rights. Among the distinguished men who will thus be forced to retire from political labors are prince Cho-
lonsky and prince Durosoff, the jurists;
Ivan Petrunkevitch, who flrst formulated the demand on the czar for a constitution; prince Dmitri SkakoffBky, former secretary of the douma, and Vladimir Naboukoff, leader of the constitutional democrats. The trial of the accused men began on December 25 and
was concluded pn December 31, last. The
prominence of the defendants, it Is believed, led the government to exercise
clemncy as It was feared that a severe
sentence would lead to a popular upheaval.
The committee work of the third douma Is now nearly completed and that
body will begin active legislative work
when it reassembles after the holiday
vacation, which will end next Thursday.
The only legislation passed at the first
session was a famine appropriation of
$7,500,000. This has been devoted to
the relief of a dozen provinces and an
addition aproprlatlon will be neccessary
when the douma meets next week.

Cured Senator Costigan
"FRUlT-A-TIVES"-is the finest
^ooooooocw^ medicine ever produced"*
Ottawa, Ont., Jan, 8th, 1906.
' I have been a dreadful sufferer from chronic
'constipation for over thirty vears and I have
been treated by many physicians and I have
taken many kinds of proprietary medicines
. without any benefit whatever. I took a pill for
a long time which was prescribed by the late
Dr. C. R. Church, of Ottawa, Also for many
months I took a pill prescribed by Dr. A. F,
Rogers, of Ottawa. Nothing seemed to do me
good. Finally I was advised by Dr. Rogers to
try "Fruit-a-tives" and after taking them for
a few months I feel I am completely
f well from this horrible complaint   I
1 have had no trouble with this com
plaint now for a long time, and I can
I certainly state that "Fruit-a-tives" Is
the only medicine I ever took that
did me any positive good for constipation. I can conscientiously
recommend "Fruit-a-tives" to the
public as, in my opinion, it is the finest
medicine ever produced.
JOHN COSTIGAN.
The thousands who know the Honorable
Senator  from   New  Brunswick,   know that
nothing short of a complete and wonderful cure
could induce him to write
such a testimonial  as the
above letter.
1' Fruit-a-tives" was the only
remedy that gave Hon, John
Costigan any permanent
relief.
"Fruit-aJives" accomplished
in three months, what tlie leading
physicians failed to do in thirty
years.
or "Frail Uvew Tablets'*
"Fruit-a-tives," is the only real cure for Cons-
tipation—because it is the only remedy that invigorates the liver—strengthens the bowel muscles
— regulates the kidneys —
and improves the skin action.
"Froit-a-tives"is a wonderful
combination of fruit juices
and tonics in tablet form-
pleasant tb take and absolutely certain to produce an
easy and natural movement

THE
POINT
IF YOU\WANT a good suit or overcoat this wlner buy of a house that

BUY OF A HOUSE that sells at one
and the same price to everybody.
ITS FAR BETTER economy to buy
a good, well made garment at a fair
price than it Is to stray oft to some sensational sale that advertises men's
$20.00 suits for $7.99.
SUCH   PURCHASES   are   always   a
disappointment,
THE MAN who comes here for his
clothes, will always wear good
looking, stylish, well fitting clothes, and
he'll never pay one penny more for them
than they are worth.

RUSH FOR SAFETY
Scranton, Pa„ Jan. 17—Three girls were
killed and seven others seriously Injured
In a tire today In the building occupied by
the Imperial Underwear factory. About
200 girls were employed in the building
and there was a panic when the alarm of
fire wns sounded. Florence Wnterous was
caught in the burning building and died
In tlie flames. Mary Buckley, who with a
number of other girls, jumped from the
fire escape, was killed. All were burned
nnd suffered from broken limbs and Internal   Injuries.
The fire Is supposed to have been started
from the upsetting of a glue pot ln the
warehouse of the Economy Furniture company in tbe basement of tho building,
which was of four stories. The flames
spread rapidly and most of tlie girls on
tbe third and fourth floors fled to the
fire escapes. These got as far us the second storey and there they Jumped to the
street. Many of tlie girls fell down a narrow stairway of the building. Some fnlnt
nnd there wns n jam on the stairs which
threatened serious consequences, but the
firemen were able to get them all out safely
before the fire reached that portion of tlie
building.   The loss Is J76,0OQ.

supply themselves with the ingredients
and, the sufferer will have no trouble to
obtain them. The prescription Ib as follows: .Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce, and
Compound Syrup of SarsaparMa, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle.
The dose Is one teaspoonful after each
meal and at bedtime.
Recent experiments, even In severe hospital coses, prove this simple mixture tho
rmdy for rhumatlsm because of Its positive action upon the ellmlnattve tissues
of the kidneys. It compels these moat vital organs to filter from tlie blood and
system the waste Impurities nnd uric acid
which are the cause of rheumatism. It
cleanses the kidneys, strengthens them and
removes quickly such Eymptoms as backache, blood disorders, bladder weakness,
frequent urination, painful scalding and
discolored urine. It nets as a powerful
stimulant to the entire kidney and boldder
structure, puts new life lino them Hid Invigorates tlie entire tract. It makes the
kidneys clenn the blood. The Dandelion
will tnke care of the liver trouble and constipation  and  Is  fine  for the  stomach.
All the Ingredients, states a well known
druggist, are of vegetable extractor!, making It a safe and harmless prescription at
any   time.
Those who suffer and are accustomed
to purchase a bottle of patent medicine
should not let a /little Inconvenience interfere with making up this prescription.
Wherever this becomes generally known
states a large eastern publication, it ruins
tho sale of tlie patent medicines and so
called rheumatism nnd kidney curs wheh
Is Us best endorsement of virtue.

One often hears the expression "my child
caught a severe cold which developed Into
diphtheria," when the truth was that the

COMMONS ANDTHELORDS
APPROACHINQ   POLITICAL   CRISIS
IN  GREAT  BRITAIN
COM1NO   SESSION  WILL  WITNESS
PINAL   STRUGGLE
Justin McCarthy, the well known litterateur, contributes to the New York
Independent a timely letter dealing with
tho question that will be the big Issue
of the coming session of the imperial
parliament.   He says:
"The session, which will open somewhat earlier than the usual time tills
year, will be given up mainly to the
carrying through of the educational
measure and to what we may hope to
be that final struggle with the house
of lords, which has arisen directly out
of the government's cheme for education
reform and the manner in which the
hereditary chamber lately dealt with the
ministerial plans. I do not suppose that
anywhere throughout these countries
there was felt a serious doubt as to the
determination of sir Henry Campbell-
Banuernian and his colleagues to bring
this struggle ut once to Its conclusion,
hut if there had been any such doubt
it must have been altogether banished
by the recent speech of Mr. Asnulth,
the chancellor of the exchequer. Mr.
Asqulth announced in the most clear,
precise and emphatic words that the
government was determined to fight this
battle out to its end in the approaching
session, and by means of the general
election, which Is certain to follow, unless the lords should entirely give way
to the government on the momentous
Issue to be offered to the decision of
the general election. Nor Is it to be
supposed that even If the lords were to
give way merely so far as the education measure was concerned the liberal
government would then be content to
let the business of parliament go on as
before and take no Immediate steps for
the reconstruction of our legislative system. Such a course would merely be
to put oft the actual struggle for the
time, with the certainly of its coming
up again before very long and then
requiring the  llnal  settlement.
"The determination of the liberals is
to complete at once the whole constitutional struggle and to deprive the hereditary chamber once and for all of Its
autocratic and absolute power over the
decisions of tho chamber which represents the great majority of the people
in these islands. Such Is the clear purpose of Mr. Asqulth's recent speech,
and I may tell my American readers
I hat Mr. Asqulth is not by any means
what could be cnlled an advanced liberal ,in political views. He ds tool
what I should describe ns a strong radical. He has always been regarded as
one of the 'Moderates' of the liberal
pnrty, to adopt the phrase which has
lately been coming Into common use,
and he has been rather pushed along
to present place ln the movement than
has demanded for himself a position in
the van of liberalism. I should feel
rather Inclined to describe him as a
brilliant man of the world rather than
as an enthusiastic and advanced Radical or as a political leader of any order,
for some of the great roforms with
which the liberals havo recently been
Identified were pressed upon htm rather
than led by him. But he Is unquestionably a man of great aud varied capacity,
endowed with most brilliant gifts of
ready argument and eloquence, and ln
his capacity as chancellor of the exchequer he has proved himself a very master of finance. It will, there tore, be
easily understood that such a man is
not in tho least likely to overstate the
determination of the government to
bring the claims of the house of lords
at the earliest possible moment to the
decision of the national constituencies.
"Although Mr. Asqulth has never been
a liberal ot the advanced order, - yet,
when prevailed upon to give his support to this or that advanced measure of
liberalism, be has never, as some other
men of his time have done, backed out
ot any course on which he had once been

satisfied that ln his recent speech he expressed his own determined and final
resolves as well as that of all his colleagues. Therefore the whole British
Empire and, indeed, all peoples outside
that Empire who take any Interest In

Interest to the now near approaching

HAD INFORMAL MEETING
NEW CITY COUNCIL GETS DOWN TO
BUSINESS
TAKE  UP  POSITION  OF THE CITY
POWER PLANT
There was an Informal meeting of the
city council last night, at which the
power plant situation was discussed
with a view of possessing the minds of
the newly elected city officers with the
details of the matter as far as they
had gone up to the present. It waa
finally arranged that the whole council
-should go out to tlie plant today and
have a tboroough look over the place,
also visiting Bonnlngton, and thus get
have a thorough look over the place,
o[ the West Kootenay Power company,
returning in the evening at (i o'clock.
City engineer Lawrence and electrical
engineer Drown will accompany the
mayor and aldermen, as will also the
city solicitor. W. A. Macdonald. The
electrical engineer will remain at the
plant over Sunday, when a shut down
will he taken in order that Mr. Brown
may be shown all the working parts of
the plant as far as possible. On Monday evening, the council, having seen
the plant, will be in a better position to
consider proposals made by the Allis-
Chalmers-Bullock company with a view
to a settlement.
Tlie various aldermen were duly
sworn in at 8 o'clock in the city hall
and took their places around the board
lor the first time in all cases but that
of D. C. McMorris, who was given the
seat at the lea hand of the mayor as
the senior member. The others were
aldermen Steed, Patenaude, Hale, Kerr
and Procter.
The proceedings were opened by the
clerk reading the original contract
which was signed on September 11,1905,
in which ihe company, agreed to have
the machinery shipped within five
months of that date. The various details of the building of the plant, fresh
in the memory of the citizens of Nelson, were then gone through up to the
time of the test, in February last, This
was a failure and the plant was not
taken over, city clerk Wasson declaring
that not one part of the machinery had
been accepted by the city although it
had been generally understood that the
governor alone was defective. Then
came the history of the expert of the
company and his subsequent wire that
a new governor would be shipped.
The late electrical engineer Dickson's
report was read, setting forth ln detail
tlie reasons of the city's refusal to take
over the plant, the wiring of the city
and the connections made with the
power plant.
Then followed the later assertion of
the company that the governor was not
in fault and their request for a shut
down of 30 days at the city's expense
so that the gates, which were declared
to be tn fault, could be satisfactorily ad-
Justed, the request being refused by the
late city council.
This brought matters down to date,
and electrician Brown was called upon
to supply some further details. Mr.
Brown said that one of the things asked
for by the Allis-Chalmers-Bullock company was that stop logs should have

been provided. Mr. Brown said that
there had been no such provisions in
the plans. The stop logs meant the
building of a dam In the tailrace so that
the surge of water should not come with
such force against the draft tube. Also
the building of a gate which would
block the outlet of the water coming
from the building. If there were such
a device ft would mean that the city
could at any time, high water or low,
Pump out the water within the building
and repair any defect in machinery
under the water. As It is no such thing
could be done except at a period of low
water. A pump and machinery had been
provided for this purpose but they were
useless without the stop logs. The stop
logs could have been put in when the
plant was building at a cost of about
$400. It might cost ten times that
amount to put in the stop logs now.'
Referring to the draft tube which had
broken away Mr. Brown maintained
that it was never securely fastened. It
had been shipped so late hy the company that no fastening could be applied
at its lower edge, which was under water. It had broken away at the flange
from which It hung. To set it in place
would mean a week's Bhut down,, it
everything went well, longer If the plans
were not absolutely accurate, and the
cost would he from (800 to $1000, put-
side the shut down.
Aa to the governor, Mr. Brown was
of the opinion that It was Inefficient. It
had been claimed by the company that
the fault lay with undue friction of the
gates, which the governor Is supposed
to automatically control. He did not

some suggestions made by himself the
company had nearly eliminated the friction and if the same course were kept
up, a couple of weeks would probably
remove the friction complained of alto*
gether. Still that did not mean the
governor would work. The specification called for a variation of eight per
cent in the governor when there was a
variation of 100 per cent In the load
and for a variation of only two per cent
with a variation in the load of 25 per
cent. The variation in the load at the
plant today is about 15 per cent, whereas
the variation in the governor is upwards
of eight per cent, six or seven times as
much as it should be according to the
specification.
Alderman Procter remarked that all
the90 details were very interesting but
would be understood better after the
members of the council had actually
seen the plant in operation.
It was then generally conceded that
the discussion of the evening had
served Its purpose and that the council
ought now to go to the plant itself. The
meeting adjourned, to assemble this
morning at the C. P. R. Btation at 9
o'clock.
