HANGS IN THE BALANCE SULTAN ABDUL HAMID TRYING TO SAVE HIS THRONE MASSACRES GO ON IN ASIA MINOR VICTIMS NUMBER 10,000 CONSTANTINOPLE, April ,21—The conflict between Mussulman piety and the political ideas of the west have brought the Turkish people to the verge of civil war. Zeal tor the faith has been unloosed. The committee of union and progress will probably only postpone this armed struggle between tho devotees of the teachings of the prophet and those who are urging the teachings of Western Europe. The cabinet debated the situation for four hours today giving special attention to the negotiations which the ministers have taken In hand on behalf of the Sultan with tlie military members or the committee, among whom are Husni Pasha, the commander of the third army corps, his division commanders, and Izzet Pasha, chief of the general staff. The Sultan's primary demand is to remain constitutional sovereign with all the spiritual powers or the caliphate, with liberal allowances ror his household, while he also aBks for a variety or minor guarantees which it would not be difficult to grant. Tho demand of the committee of union and progress is that the Sultan offer on resistance whatever and submit unconditionally. The Salonika committee, which ls the backbone of the whole progressive movement, is largely military and i.ils important civilian members are with the army. Some or the members or the cabinet, including Kl- taat Pasha, the foreign minister, are active constitutionalists. Tewflk Pasha, the grand vizier, who personally is most agreeable to the Sultan and to military men, adn who is looked upon as both benevolent and honest, haB taken the negotiations looking to a compromise. He has not been able to proceed very far In these negotiations up to the present owing to the uncertain conditions which have prevailed ln the last few days both within and outelde tire capital. The grand vizier and his cabinet are quite prepared to resign, If tlie committee, asks for their withdrawal from offlce. Indeed, they are anxious to resign and have' only been held in office by the feeling that they may be able to avert a civil war or prevent acts of violence, which would bring about unwelcome intervention by the powers. "The committee," a vague term to represent influential men of modern spirit, is with out definite lints. Its adherents who have exercsed a voice in Its affarls are divided among themselves. The radlca (faction Insists that there shall be uo compromise and that the Sut- tan must be deposed.

DENIER FACT Captain of Captured Vessel Complains AN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR FISHERIES PROTECTION CRUISER KESTREL BRINGS PRIZE TO VANCOUVER FROM HALIBUT FISHING GROUNDS. HAD TO USE HIS GUNS. (Special to The Dally News.) VANCOUVER, April 21—The fisheries cruiser Kestrel arrived here this rooming with the gasoline schooner Levi Woodbury, Capt. Sinclair, or tbe Standard fishing company of Seattle's halibut fleet. The schooner was captured off the north coast, of Vancouver Island on Sunday morning after the most exciting adventure In the history or the protection or provincial waters rrom poaching. For the first time Commander Newcomb of the Kestrel was compelled* to bring his machine guns Into play and as the vessel lies at the wharf here she shows evidence of the markmanshlp in rent sails and splintered mast. inaugural opening rd" 1250 miles or the vessel with dories out between cast and west Haycock islands, which are onl yfive miles apart, hence well wlth- .ln the three-mile limit ne steamed toward the schooner and got wltbln three miles before being noticed. Her captain then got under way and his dories cut their gear. Having picked up the small boats he started ln tun pursuit tinder toil speed of the engines and all sail spread, out to the Pacific. Tne Kestrel with full steam followed and a lively race ensued in which the cruiser gradually caught up. Newcomb signalled with his siren to stop but as no attention was paid he fired three shots in front of the schooner's bows, but without result. When abreast Newcomb commanded the captain through a speaking trumpet to stop but wus only laughed at. Then the Nordenfeldt gun wns called into play with two shots at ihe upper rigging. The effect of these made the captain halt. Capt. Sinclair refused to take a hawser on his vessel and an officer and the crew of the Kestrel had to. board the vessel. Sinclair then refused to have the engine started and the Kestrel was obliged lo tow the schooner all the way to Vancouver. At the time of the capture the vessels had got over four miles trom the land. Capt. Sinclair made a statement to the American consul here today that he was not. rishlng at the time of the seizure, merely making a passage in the open sea. Representatives ol the fishing company are now on their way here and if Sinclair's statements are adhered to representations will be made to Washington and it is probable the matter will become an international affair. The captured craft is worth about ?3000. Her cargo of halibut was sold to a local company today and the money turned over to the Doiti. inion officials.

The human body is composed of countless millions of cells. These cells are constantly dying and new ones aro being created. 'Dead cells arc removed from the blood by tbe bowels, kidneys and skin. These great eliminating organs filter this waste matter from the blood, and thus purify the blood. If there Is Constipation, or non-action of the bowels—If th kidneys aro strained or weakened—If there Is defective skin action—4hen the dead cells aro not removed from bhe body. The blood thus becomes loaded with Impurities, and we suffer for it. The only way to purify the blood is to cure the skin, bowels nnd kidneys. When these organs are healthy aud doing their work as nature intended them to do it, waste matter Ih promptly removed and the blood is kept pure and rich. "Frult-a-tives"—the famous fruit liver tablets—act directly on tbe skin, the bowels and the kidneys. ".Frult-a- tives" purify the blood because they keep the whole body strong, vigorous and healthy. 50c a box, H for $2.59, or trlol box, 2Gc. At dealers or from FruIt-a-Uves Limited, Ottawa.

It is a phychological fact that you can't smite and feel blue or grouchy at the same time, and Billiken's smile Is so irreslstably contagious that you simply have to smile with him In spite of yourself.

THOMSON .as-vf* Bookseller and Stationer _ho §au_ iJew*. Published at Nelson Bvary Morning Except Monday, by News Publishing Company, Limited W. O. MoMORRIS Maiager ELECTIONS AND THE G. T. P. The half yearly meeting of the Grand Trunk Hallway company held In London yesterday proved in many ways interesting, one of its most remarkable features being the declaration of Sir Charles Rivera-Wilson that the result of the Dominion elections last fall afforded testimony of the country's approval of the government's policy in regard to the building of the Urand Trunk Pacific. Sir Charles is probably quite sincere In this belief but had he been in Canada last October he might think differently. Had he been here he might, for example, have seen the whole weight and influence of the Grand Trunkrall- way as well as of the contractors and others financially interested in the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific thrown openly and unreservedly into the fight to secure the government's return. He might also have learned something of the wholesale bribes of public works that wero offered the electors to secure the return of the government supporters and likewise would have been In a position to In- torm himself regarding the race and creed cry that was worked to such excellent advantage in various sections. Had he also been in close touch with the Grand Trunk management in Canada and with the manner in which construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Is being carried on he might have learned the source of at least a very large portion of the Immense fund that was used ln the government's Interests in a way that would not for a moment be tolerated in the old country. much as Sir Charles might like to think that the result of the elections ln October last was an endorsation of the government's Grand Trunk Pacific policy, the tact remains that this was not an issue in the campaign. The opposition was as fully pledged to the completion of the road on the original terms as was the govLrnment. What tho opposition was not committed to, however, was the loan of $10,000,000, which is now being put through. The tact that this loan was desired and would be given was kept secret by both the government and the Grand Trunk people until the election was over, although both knew at the time what was going to be done ln the matter, providing Sir Wilfrid was returned to power. The opposition was not given an opportunity to take a stand on the matter, nor were the people allowed to pronounce upon It. Had the granting of this {10,000,000 been made an issue In the election and the government been returned, Sir Charles might now be able to say that the result was an endorsation of the government's policy in regard to the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific. At the time of the election it was generally agreed toot whether or not the original agreement was a wise one, the country had been so far committed to it that it could not turn back, no matter which political party was in power. The government's Grand Trunk Pacific policy therefore was not an Issue in the elections, although aa things now turn out It snould have been. White Sir Charles is on the subject of the relation of the government's return last October to Its policy regarding the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific there is one aspect of the matter which the people of Canada would be delighted to have him take up. It is as to the relation between the support given the government by the Grand Trunk railway and those financially interested in the building of the Grand Trunk Pacific and the bill now before parliament to loan the company $10,- 000,000 upon terms that are entirely in the interests of the latter. Does blr Charles see any relation between^ the two? Or does he want to? KOOTENAY LUMBER TRADE. The following is from the last Issue of the Western Lumberman, published at Vancouver: "According to advices lumbermen In the Kootenays are pleased with conditions now existing in getting out logs, and the prospect tor an increased market for the manufactured product. "The conditions last year in the Kootenays was of grave consideration. The shipments of united States lumber into the prairie particularly affected the mountain trade, as their chief output Is In tho lower grades, which are affected materially by tho United btates imports. On the coast, the profit is chiefly made out of the higher grades which are not imported to any extent from the other side of the line. "Were the Canadian markets held for Canadians, however, there would be little trouble in disposing of the entire Kootenay product. "The opposition, of course, comes from the farmer, There may have been a reason for free lumber years ago, but there Is no reason for It now. "ihe plants established in the Kootenays, it is claimed, could supply with rough lumber Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, to say nothing of the output from the coast. Kootenay buys grain and bay and farm produce In the prairie provinces, and lt Is only fair that the farmers of these provinces should buy their lumber from those wno consume their products." The people of Kootenay will generally endorse the remarks of the Western Lumberman, but there ls one thing the article tails to point out. It Is that while American lumber is allow- to compete on even terms with the product of the Kootenay mills on the prairies, the Kootenay market in grain and hay and farm produce is reserved tor the prairie farmers by a substantial tariff wall. In other words, the people of the Kootenay are paying the cost of protecting the prairie farmer* and are getting nothing in return. How would the farmers on the prairies like tn see the duties on farm products such as they ship to the Kootenays removed with the result that this market would be supplied from the south instead of by them. If they can appreciate what this would mean to them, and will apply it, they will be able to realize the position in which the lumbermen of the KootenayB find themselves as uie result of the free entry of rough lumber into the Canadian prairie country. EDITORIAL NOTE8. Premier AsqulUi shows by his Introduction of a bill for the desestablish- ment of the church ln Wales that courage is a quality In which he is not lacking. A despatch to the Toronto Telegram says: "Hon. William Pugsley will not resign. Instead he will make a statement." This apparently Is Mr. Pugs- ley's intention all right, but will the country be satisfied with such a course? The following Is the resolution moved by Hon, C. J. Doherty in the house of commons which the govern- ment voted down. "That ln order to lift the cloud of suspicion that rests upon the administration of the various departments, to satisfy the demand of the country for honest and businesslike methods, and to purge the public service of inefficiency, reckless waste, and corrupt practices, it is advisable and necessary in the public Interest that a thorough and untrameled litre* tigatlon be made by a competent business commission into the workings of all the great spending departments of the government." Despatches would indicate that Hon. Joseph Martin ls not likely to meet with any greater success in the by- election in Stratford-ln-Avon than he did in Vancouver last October, but a little thing tike another defeat will not bother Joseph. He Is getting used to them now, tor previous to October last he had several defeats to his credit in this country. Athletic Club Raided NEW YORK, April 21—When eight men, arrested last night in a raid on the Longacre Athletic elb during the progress of boxing bouts, to which do- tectlveB had bought tickets, were arraigned in court today, Lawyer Fuclis appeared for the accused and said they had been illegally detained. 'They have not," promptly delcared Magistrate House, "all these fight clubs In the city are organized to evade the law against prize fighting and they all violate tlie law, yet the magistrate continues to discharge prisoners taken tn raids on these places, and Judges in special sessions throw them out. No wonder the people hold such courts In disrepute." The men were remanded for examination next Wednesday and their ball renewed.

Y., April 21.— The water in the lower river continues to rise and there is grave danger of extensive damage to property. The ice jam is as solid as it was a week ago and Hoods are resulting because the water is held back hy the ice blockade. Alarm ls felt at Niagara-on- the-Lake, Ontario, that the water may submerge more of the town. The water is 'now upon the sidewalks on the road leading to the docks and it is impossible to enter the Michigan Central station or the American and Lake hotels without the use of a row- boat. Several small houses in the low lying portion of the town are also Inaccessible, except by the use of boats. Conditions between the whirlpool and the mouth of the river are much worse today than they have yet been. The river is packed as full of Ice as possible and when it moves out it is feared lt will sweep everything along the banks with it, including the Canad'an government lighthouse at Niagara-on- the-Lake and the United States life saving station ut Fort Niagara, Col, James R. Price, in charge of Iho Buffalo office of the United States engineers corps, declares that he has been absolutely helpless to vendor any assistance at Lewiston und Youngs- town. He inspected th*j conditions en Sunday and found the ice at the mouth of the river at least 75 inches in thickness and that a boat would be powerless, dynamite, ho said, would be useless. It would make about as much Impression, he Bald, as if exploded in sott dirt. He saw absolutely no way to relieve the conditions and said that It was simply past human Ingenuity. The water that is now pusslng over the falls is breaking up in the lower river, WASHINGTON, April 21.—The general government can do little to assist ln relieving the serious conditions growing out of the ice gorge in the ■Niagara river. There are no funds available tor purchasing explosives to destroy the ice jam. Under the general regulations engineer oflicers have authority to give their services and those of tbe government plants ln saving life and property. Following a despatch from collector Merrltt at Buffalo the war department called for & report on existing conditions from the engineer's office at Buffalo and his reply Indicated that the ice is too soft tor blasting.

Thomson was again at work in his happy vigorous style, meeting with the workers at the Yale-Columbia Co s sawmill. At the same hour j. J. Lowe unfolded the grace of the Good Shepherd to a considerable assemblage in the Empire theatre illustrating his divining words with picture and song. In the Baptist church In the afternoon there was a meeting of somo forty representatives of the various churches who were led In a bible reading by Dr. Granstatf. The subject was the second coming of Christ. The doctor explained that he had nothing sensational to say about this. He would follow the teaching ot scripture, ln the New Testament the second coming is bound up with almost every Christian grace and virtue. Some people Blight tne doctrine because they dread His coming. They are like the Irish housemaid who preferred to sweep a darkened room because in tbe dark the dust was Invisible. Prior to the reformation little emphasis was laid upon the doctrine or the Holy Spirit, the visible church bulking so largely ln people's mtnds and the doctrine of the second coming was obscured by the grandeur of the papacy. Latterly these two doctrines have become prominent in the evangelical churches. The second coming has been too much left to misguided enthusiasts. Careful scripture study shows a line of prophecies regarding Christ which have Old Curiosity Shop HALF PRICE—To close ont our wareroom for large stock of new goods we will sell 25 DINNER SETS at Half Price. First come first aerv 3*1. not yet been fulfilled, His second coming will not be in the disguise of humiliation hut in manifest glory passing description. It will be a coming not to make sacrifice for sins but as the judge of the earth. For this He is qualified as the Son of Man. He will separate the good from the had, to reign as King, and to establish what is rignt among men. Neither angel nor man can tell the time of- this stupendous event. Christ has not disclosed it. It will be preceded by a period of apparently Indefinite delay which will try the faith and patience or many. Tliere is ample room for difference of opinion regarding the signs or Christ coming on earth. But it is certain that all through its history the world belongs to Christ. The devil Is a usurper wherever he is at work. Christ Is the true King who is coming to His own. A generation will some day arise which will not pass away until it sees Christ In HiB glory. The church today requires these three things: First, to use tlie power ot prayer ln order to hasten the coming of the kingdom. Second, to hear witness for Christ and show compassion for the lost world. The church must get about and do things. Third, we must realize what It means to consecrate money ror the cause of God. The church has the means now of sending the gospel to all men if she be willing. Tile children were happy in the company ot Mr. Love in the roller rink ln the afternoon. His main subject was the curing of blind men by Jesus, ihe illustrations were of the usual high order. In the evening the audience was larger than on either Monday or Tuesday, fresh races appearing each night. Mr. Pugh sang again by special request the favorite song The Holy City. A noteworthy featture of this distinguished vocalist's rendering is the perfect distinctness with which he makes every word and syllable audible by every one of the audience occupying the large area. Taking a point or commencement from the prophet Jeremiah'B visit to the potter, Dr. Granstaff spoke of the re-making of Human Nature by God. The prophet was then not only discouraged but quite disheartened, uie Lord can't use an unwilling instrument The creature can say No to the creator. (Jod can't use an unclean instrument. The Christian worker must live a clean life. God can't use a discouraged Instrument, Jeremiah learned of God and could take up a broken and disappointed life and re-make It Ask why you have failed in the Christian life? Not because God has failed you. Has God made a mistake ln choosing for you the circumstances or your lire? Don't suppose this. He makes no mistakes. He placed you where He foresaw that yor nature might rise to its highest posslbilltlse. Be what you ought to be just where you are. There Is nowhere an omnipotent personality or a cruel fate predestining anyone to perdition. The fault lies In ourselves We let our wills and purposes antagonize God's will and purpose.
