April 1—A Chronicle despatch, from Melbourne says the report .of the offer of a Dreadnought is premature. The federal premier, Mr. Fisher, continues to refuse to make such au offer on behalf,of the.federated states and the premiers are still divided, the Victoria -and New South Wales premiers being willing and the others unwilling. The Standard's Sydney oorrespon- ■dfant states that in iho -event of tlie other states not joining New South Wales and Victoria, they WH1 give a Dreadnought themselves. The Chronicle liberally appreciates Laurler's fine spirit in offering to spend the remainder of his life stumping the country if necessary to impress upon the Canadians the urgency of the unassailable lulainteiufyicg of the empire-■ The Standard 'chinks'tho creation of a Canadian navy would be far more useful to Britain than an alliance wtth second class naval powers. ■MJ3LBOTJBiN*E, April 1. — Premier Fisher, speaking to tile question of defence, said the purely voluntary System of defence had absolutely broken d«\Vn and the government felt that the time had arrived to institute some form of compulsory training, commencing with uoys of ten and' ending at twenty, tin addition to three torpedo destroyers of Uie river typo already ordered, it was pro-posed to obtain in three years' lime four ocean going destroyers and sixteen more of the river class. If it were possible to build those vessels in Australia, this would give lhe motherland the help she rad a right to expect from her ■wealthy and progressive son. Mi". Fisher added: "When I was asked to offer a Dreadnought 1 said that was not policy, it as merely a spectacular display, and probably tlie admiralty would say they did not need a ship for (this year's programme."

TURNING OUT WELL. Big Shoot of Ore on War Eagle Ful filling Expectations. The big shoot in the 900-foot level of the War Eagle Is helng developed nnd is turning out very well, says the Rossland Miner. A sill floor Is being iput in and the ore so far talcen from th s shoot is of an excellent grade and there is evidently a large body of It. The development of the fifteenth and sixteenth leveels of the Centre Star is being proceeded wtth but has not progressed far enough as yet for results. The outlook on the levels between the fifteenth and twelfth ls encouraging.. The mine sent to the smelter last week 3,460 tons of ore, Now that the weather Is settling nnd the open season close at hand, there Is considerable talk about leasing, and it is probable that .several properties will be leased in the immediate fufture. • It fs understood that two or three parties are seeking to lease the Evening Star, The Evening Star last wek Was under lease to Andrew H. Heldler, and he extracted 877 tons ot ore trom It. It Is thought tihat the mine, economically managed, can be made to pay a good profit to lessees. Other parties are negotiating for properties in the South Beit, In the neighborhood of the Blue Bird, which has outputted a considerable amount of a good grade of ore and which is now being operated by lessees. Good reports como from the I. X, L. and some pockets of nugget gold are being found by the. lessees. Work con- tiues under a lease on the O.K. and the reduction of ore will be commenced just as soon as the quartz mill can be placed in order. THREE YEARy SENTENCE MAN WHO BURGLARIZED THE ARK IS CONVICTED HAD BIG COLLECTION OF JEWEL RY ON HIM. J. McLaughlin, who was cleverly captured by Constable Frazer at Ymlr on Monday last as a result of information gathered after much patleut investigation on the part of the city police in connection With the burglary at the Ark second band store last week, was brought up before police magistrate R A. Crease yesterday monrnlng. The prisoner pleaded guilty to the charge of house breaking. The magistrate remanded him until 2 p.m. when a sentence of three yours in the penitentiary was given, His Worship in passing sentence addressed the prisoner and pointed out that the offence was very serious and that he was liable to a sentence of 14 years, hi view, however, of the fact that he. tlie prisoner, had pleaded guilty to tho charged the sentence would be one of three years Imprisonment. The articles stolen from the store which were recovered by tho police were six pipes, one razor, seven watches, three pairs of blankets, two pairs of boots and two purses. In addition to these goods the police found in a valise left by the prlsc-nor at Ymlr station two maple loaf brooches, twelve sets of cuff links, two gold watch chain swivels, one maple leaf pin, several cases for watches and rings, five gold, silver, gun metal and nickel watches, one brass watch movement case one silver watch case, one gold filled case, three round shaving mirrors, four shaving brushes, one packet of hairpins, six squeezes for tobacco ponchos, one tortoise shell comb. five cakes ot Taylor's shaving soap- nine balls of thread, four tablets of toilet soap, seven ornamental ladies* hair combs, seven watch movement cases, two gold brooches for holding ladies 'watches, a case containing cloven gold filled watch chains, two com pass charms, one gold ring, a quantity of watchmaking tools, a number of boot laces and a varied collection of small articles. These goads are believed by the polco to be the result of several other burglaries iii which McLaughlin lias been engaged and Chief Young has therefore sent a lull description to the police in various parts of British Columbia anil the States- Constable Ellis will leave with the prisoner for New Westminister this morning. Bert Tnggart, who was arrested tor having some of the property stolen from the Ark in his possession was discharged. It is likely that Nelson will very soon have a bad reputation among the "tough" fraternity for since the time that Chief Young took charge of tlie police force early last year in only one case has the committer of crime "escaped being brought to book and pay-* ing the penally. Tlfls'cme case was the theft of $2 from the candy store of S. H. Seanoy and certainly could not be described as a -serious matter. KEEP HOLIDAY. Soft Coal Miners Celebrating Eight Hour Day.

DOHERTY OFFERS RES OLUTION STATING INVEST1GA TION OF OTHER SPENDING DEPARTMENTS OF GOVERN MENT TO BE NECESSARY. (Western Associnted Press.) OTTAWA, April 1—On the House going into supply C. J. Doherty moved a resolution which, recalling the censure of the civil service commision of 11107 upon which the marine department, was investigating declared that the report of the Cassels commission with Lhe attached evidence amply sustains the charge of official negligence and wastefulness and corrupt dealings in that department and affords ample grounds for the conviction that similar methods prevail in other departments. That in order to lift the clouds of suspicion from the administration of the various departments and to satisfy the demand for business like methods, it is advisable and necessary to make ;i thorough and untranimeled investigation by a competent business commission into the workings of all great spending departments. Speaking to the motion, Mr. Doherty referred to the work of the civil service and (.'assets commission nnd said he failed to understand in view of the commission's reports its to lhe lack of conscience, why the government delayed so long in broadening the field of investigatious. The reports made it clear that It is Incumbent upon, those in charge of lhe spending deportments to not only follow the ex ample of the mininster or marine but to go farther, linn. L. P. Brodeur, the minister of marine, declared that from the first he had endeavored to put the department on proper footing and pointed out the patronage system of purchasing supplies had prevailed in ihe department since confederation, lie considered the lime had arrived for this to change nnd all supplies should bo purchased by tender from the -people prepared to quote the most. reasonable lerms, Regarding Mr. Doherty's demands for an Inquiry into all departments, the minister of marine thought it unfair to brand members of the public service as robbers. There must bo justification before action was taken. The marine department was different, as there were good reasons for holding an inquiry. In closing Mr. Hrodeur alluded it) pathetic loiters from the mothers, sisters and wives of the guilty, which made his duly So onerous. T. W.

The figures relating to the number of accidents on th railways of Canada during the year ending June 30 last have recently been issued and are quite interesting. They show that during the year there were 441) people killed in this way and 2.241 Injured. as compared with 598 killed and 2,152 injured the previous year, a decrease of 140 In number of persons who lost their lives and an increase of 196 in the number who sustained injuries, of the total number killed 28 were passengers. while 345 patrons of the road were injured. In the year ending June 30. 1007. there wore 70 pasaeoSera killed and 352 injured. The figures are especially interest- nig as illustrating tlie hazardous nature of railway work. Of the total number. 449. killed by the railways last year. 224 or exactly half were employees, while the injured number, ed 1793 out of a total of 2.347- This Is a decrease of 25 in the number killed and an increase of Gt»7 In tlie number of injured! us compared with ihe previous year.

This is a matter that might very well be urged upon the government at Ottawa by the people of Kootenay and the interior generally. SHOULD DO SAME HERE. The stand taken by The News some time since that, instead of extending the close season for trout iu the interior, forbidding the catching of any trout under eight inches long and the sale of any weighing lass than three pounds, the government should establish hatcheries for tiie propagation of fish and in this way prevent their extinction is fully home out In an ai- dress delivered by Mr. W.

The hatcheries on Lake" Erie are operated by he American and Canadian 'governments and by the states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Thfe extent of these hatcheries may be gathered from the tact that the state of Pennsylvania alone turns out 250,000,000 fish per annum, and it is especially interesting to note that this is done at a coat of only 85,000 per year. Surely 250,000.- 000 is an excellent return for such an amount of money.

But there is much uncertainty in the speculation for it is generally agreed that the race will be a hard one for it will be under new conditions over a grass track five laps to a mile in the open air. There will be no sharp turns. smoky "atmosphere and no overpowering steam heat to weaken the stamina of the men as has been the case in the Marathon contests at .Madison Square gardens. Athletic sharks predict that Shrubb and Dorando will set tlie pace, while Longboat. Hayes and Maloney will rim under waiting rrders. St. Ives is un unknown quality as be lias never been seen here in a race, but reports from Princeton say that lie looks like a dangerous factor of^he contest which will in all probability draw the largest crowd that has ever witnessed the full running of a marathon race in this country, The polo grounds seat 35,000 people this season because ol' extension of the bleachers to completely surround the field.

Five aspiring young ball players who liad hoped to land positions on the Vancouver baseball team for the coming season had their visions of future greatness -shattered today, when they ■were released by Manager Dickson on the advice of Captain Lou Nordyke. Two outfielders, a pitcher and two in- flledres were included in the bunch. They were Leo Puchell and Horace Scott, outfielders; Jimmy Miller and Paul Colbert, inflelders, and W. P. McKinney, pitcher. Manager Dickson hardly figured on four of the quintette any way, but he was surprised that Scott did not show more class. Scott hit like a fiend in North Dakota last season and had an average of .350. He did not show the class, however, and Captain Nordyke. after looking him over decided that he would not do. He told this to Secretary Vic Lord at Prosser and the latter passed the information along'to Manager Dickson who immediately ordered their release. Gotch and Hackenschmidt. CHICAGO, April 1—Frank Gotch, champion wrestler of the world announced yesterday that he had signed Articles to meet George Hacken schmidt in January in Melbourne, Australia. Gotch says that he has accepted an offer of $13,000, win, lose or draw to meet the Rusian Lion whom he defeated here last year. , MAY MEET CHAMPION. Moran's Showing Entitles Him to Meet Nelson. NEW YORK, April 1—Hecause of tlie splendid showing of Moran in the Moran-Murphy bout, there seemed to be a general desire to see him mix up with Nelson. Moran never put up a better fight In his life than with the Harlem boxer. The fact that Murphy had five pounds the better of the weight cut no figure with Moran. who weighed a trifle more than 128. Although Murphy is fully as clever as Nelson in ring science, he could not ward off Moran's fast and never-ceasing attack, with the result that he received the worst beating of his career. If Attell would agree to meet Moran at 126 pounds ringside, or 125 pounds at six o'clock, it is thought that the Englishman would he stronger than the American and would possibly win decisively, just as Driscoll did. Hut Attell, according to his friends, will take no such chances. Attell is anxious to meet Nelson, too, and thinks be can outpoint the Hattler for the excelent reason that In a 15-round go in California just one year ago he held the champion lighl- weight to a draw. Nelson has been telling the sporting public public that he Is ready to meet all comers, no coolr barred, at. the lightweight limit., and Moran says that he will give the Battler a chance to show that he is on the square. It is the opinion in some quarters that Moran will be making a serious mistake if he agrees to fight anybody at less than 120 pounds. He is growing and in his present form it is believed that he can make things hum with Nelson or Attell. unless he is compelled to weaken himself in order to secure a match. Will Fight on Sight. BOSTON, April 1—Jim Jeffries, in an interview today promised to make quick trouble for .Tacit Johnson if the black champion makes good his intention of coming here next week to talk business face to face. Jeff declared that if he did meet Johnson the latter would get but little out of tlie financial end of the affair, which makes it apparent that if the big fellow does consent to take on Johnson he will do tho dictating. "Why not make it winner take all, Jeff?" said one of his friends. "I think he would not meet me on those conditions," said Jeffries. "There will be no need of a referee or a ring," continued Jeffries. "if Johnson persists In coming and seeing me next week there will be a new champion in quick order If he does come near me."

Children Take Chances Playing Round C.P.R, Depot. Superintendent Purvis,.of the c. P. B., will take steps to the more thorough policing the Nelson station. In convetsa- tlon Willi a Dally News reporter Mr. Purvis mentioned two nuisances which ho wanted to put an ond to. One of these, and the moro Important, Is the habit of ra number of children have of playing jn-bout the station at night when trains are arriving, bothering the alighting passengers by running up to Litem and calling out the names or hotels, thus confusing the seeker for accomodation, and, anil wlilch is very serious, running the risk oil .gelling under tho wheels of Incoming 'engines. Mr. Purvis believes that It Is only a question of time, If allowed to continue before this habit of the children will lead to Urns of lll'e. The youngsters are likely to fall across the track Just iwheu a train Is running in, Another nuisance he will Insist on sur- pressslng is Hie offence of smoking In the waiting room. It Is contrary to the .Hallway •ai-l and the offender ls lluiblu to u line of (10 dollars. WILL ENTERTAIN MEMBERS Young Conservative Club Will Honor Messrs.
