Newsl New Denver, Oct. 20.—A well attended meeting of the electors of New Denver waa held In Bosun hall last night to greet W. A. Galliher. the liberal candidate and coming member, and to hear his presentation of the policy und intentions of the liberal party. W. S. Drewry occupied the chair and In a few well chosen words pointed out the good work down by** Mr. Galliher towards obtaining the load bounty and so putting to work so many men who would otherwise be.idle. This Mr. Drewery explained was one of the many reasons why he was .supporting Mr. Galliher. ., Mr. Galliher on rising to address the meeting was greeted with apiause and ih a speech that lasted nearly two hours, fully explained tho liberal government's policy In connection with the .Grand Trunk Pacific railway and contracted Ihe firm stand and definite policy ('presented by them with the many nnd varied schemes propounded by the opposition and which chameleon-like changed their aspect to suit their locality. He showed conclusively that the proposition of sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues was a sound business transaction and calculated to bring forth good results. He then went, on to'slunv how the growing time of Canada was taken advantage of by the able and brilliant, liberal cabinet so that instead of deficits, surpluses were the order of the day and that Canada instead of going backward was on the top wave of prosperity and still going onward. Of his own record, he was* sat tailed to say, he was not ashamed having obtained tp the neighborhood of $6,000,000 for his constituents in the past four years and he felt sure that tbe electors of Kootenay would not be 111 pleased with this .record and he wus willing to leave the issue in their hands. The audience was an apreclatlve one and followed Mr. Galliher elosely throughout. The presence of several ladles was a noticeable feature show1--" ing they, too, were Interested. The meeting broke up with a hearty vote of thanks and three rousing cheers for Mr. Galliher and It is Quite evident that this time New Denver will do Its duty and give a handsome, majority for Mr. Galliher on the 22nd November and so_ help to swell the majority over all, : which he is sure to get. } Si.

The heavens have* interposed to put a stop to bloodshed. -.Rain, Impassable roads and - exhausted armies are factors sufficient in themselves to explain the cessation nf hostilities, and tiic.se conditions are aggravated by a dense fpg overspreading tlie w^ole of the theatre of war. Behind this pall ei.ther side would lie able to change the disposition of the whole fore- in. absolute secrecy; but the obscurity renders absolutely dangerous any attempt at a forward movement. When the curtain of mist is lined the fighting may be-re- sumed under (totally changled Myll- tlons. Associated press correspondebts al the Russian froth record the successful repulse .of a nigh I atack upon Russian outposts In the early hours of October 19th', The Russians pursued ilie .lapanese and capt <\ a' gun, which. under cover of the fog, 'bey were aide to remove. The wild flight of rumors continue In st. Petersburg, the rout"or capture of Japanese divisions, or battalions and scores of guns, alternating with alarmist stories of general Kouropatkin's retreat on Mukden and all arc egualjy untrue. The wnr office declares ' that there have been no serious, developments since the cajiturc of Lone Tree Hill last Sunday ami authorizes the Associated Press to deny the'report thai a Russian battalion had beon annihilated trying torecross the Taitse* river. A prominent general said: "It is absurd to suppose tbat a battalion was still on tin* other side of th.e Taitse river when Mie whole of tbe eastern flank had "withdrawn sixteen miles -north of the- river, "As to the stories of genera!

This corps la stationed at Vilebek. and belongs to the military district of Vilna. which is going'out as a part or the second ManchuHan army, under tbe command of the chief of the Vilna district. general Grippenberg. The' corps will .probably leave in December for Harbin. Emperor Nicholas has received no report from general Stoessel. the military commander at Port Arthur, since October 10th. A correspondent of lhe Russky Lietok sends to that paper a graphic account of the fighting by general Bflderllng'a corps on October 12th. when the Russian right flank was broken. It now develops that disaster was averted solely by tbe timely-arrival of general Sko- lieleffVfith Siberian corps, composed almost entirely of reservist a and many regiments which were experiencing their first taste of actual war. The correspondent telegraphs ihat general Oku's desperate onslaught forced hack gen' eral BUderllng and drove in Stakho- vitch's cavalry, which was guarding Bilderling's right. The situation was most critical, but the 6th corps, which had been, held in reserve, promptly came up and supported liilderling nnd things assumed a brighter aspect. Tbe fighting,wa_ exceedingly furious. Two reserve corps regiment,1-;, which had nevel* before been under flre. bore the brunt of the Japanese advance and obstinately held their ground. The following dav the battle was resumed with the fullest intensity. The Japanese threw themselves headioiig against, the. positions of the fith and 17th corps. The fighting continued the whole day, despite a terrific downpour of rain and a fearful thunder storm. A Japnnese battery dashed out Trom general Oku's right nnd opened a deadly fire upon the Russian trenches until the 10th artillery brigade came into action, and in a'few minutes dismantled tbe Japanese guns. A squadron of Japanese cavalry met a similar fate while charging some Russian Infaptry. Two other reserve regiments covered themselves with glory by 'boidlv attacking the Japanese and dislodging them from their trenches. These regiments lost nearly every officer. Colonels Basilica and Pononinrcf were wounded, and general Laming, the commander or the division, was also wounded, but the colonels nnd general remained in the field, dressing their wounds* ' QUIRT ON JAPANESE FRONT.

Tlie United Slates department having assumed at the beginning of the war the care of Japan's interests, Jmve transmitted the Japanese protest-to the .TTnVt- . d stales embassy at St. Petersburg for presentation to the Russian government, ii is understood here that the Chinese clothing was not.'used by the Russians to deceive the enemy, but simply to make good the failure of the Russian quartermaster's department to supply much needed warm clothing upon the 'sudden advent of cold weather in Manchuria.

The Arrangements Made to Provide Vessels With Fuel. London, Oct. 20.—The London Times'. Russian correspondent says the arrangements for coaling and provisioning the Russian Baltic fleet have reached a very interesting stage and Indicate tbe manner of Its going tp the far east. The fleet Is apparently [to keep together until the ■colliers. nowJoff Cadiz are picked up. It will then divide, the torpedo and small craft going via Suez aud Aden to Singapore and ihe large warships making for the cape. The big Hamb.irg- American boats, which have loaded and are loading Welsh coal at South Wales ports, will under the present arrangements go in advance of the squadron some to Aden and some to Zanzibar to coal the vessels arriving by the Suez and Capo routes, and other German vessels will go straight to Singapore in order to coal the concentrated squadrons when they arrive there. The Cape route is the way by which the big ships will, go which is clearly indicated by such Incidents as the purchase of the British steamer Maori King, This steamer recently arrived at Liverpool fro_n the fiver Platte with about 60,000 pounds sterling worth of frozen meats. She has been Intercepted without unloading by French intermediaries and sailed last night for the Cape with her cargo of meat.

Thu satisfaction of having the washing dune early in the day, and well gone,'-belongs to every, user of Sunlight Soap. lor! The last numljcr _f the Now York 3'*ngincerlng and Mining Journal contains a valuable article on the possibilities of the iron and steel industry in ' British Columbia, contributed by William Blakemore, ot this city.. •] .Mr, "Blakemore asks: Is lt liosslble 1p establish a steel-making Industry In British Columbia which would servo the west with appreciably cheaper iron and steel and realize a profit on Its product? Six conditions, he says, are demanded lor the success"'ef such an enterprise. 1. A sufficient market; 2 Transportation; 3 a Bultabl".' ore; ' flux; '6 fuel j ti an assembling point 'of the raw material where It can be converted economically. . ' These conditions Mr.. Blakemore believes exist today. As to. the market, he estimates that •with the railway mileage now under contract-antl to be completed within the next live years)'west ot Winnipeg,'there will be a demand for nol less than i'00',000 tons of steel rails'annually, besides the demand for light rails, for mining purposes, wtych may he estimated at 3,000 tons annually. In addition he believes that the British Columbia product would find a ready market in Iho western states. The question of. transportation, Mr. Blakemor'e|Wys,'involves a decision as to the assembling point of the raw material and its conversion Into the finished product. He .thinks tliat this point must be Kootenay lake, In the vicinity of the landing, whence there would lie direct communication with all point, in Kootenay nnd the "Northwest. In the matter of supply of suitable ore,. Mr. Blakemore points out that gen- Heaters Do You Know? Queen Stoves Air Tights Hut Blasts Oaks i.

'This property, known as Iron Mountain, Is situated on . the Crow's .Nest railway, 30 miles east of Kootenay lake, and Is len miles lon^. u contains-at least Ave v^tns-of the highest grade hematite, varying from live feet to twenty feet thick, and, on a moderate, estimate,., 100,000,000 tons of nre. This property w'_ purchased hy the C. 1\ R, upon llie advice ol W. N. Rose, a well known expert of Maro.ue.tte, Michigan, hut after proving IU extent ho further development work has heen dope. Suheequettt prospecting In that region has shown Ihat the veins extend at least thirl y miles north In unvarying regularity and It has heen satisfactorily demonstrated that th.lar'gt deposits exploited1 by George McMillan/hear the head of Crawford Bay, arc an extension of the Kitchener todies. In Mr. Blake- moro's opinion this solves the* question of quantity ;of ore: ' As to flux there Is an unlimited quantity of limestone1 in the mountain ranges east and west of Kootenay lake, which could be delivered at Kootenay Landing. With regard to fuel Mr. Blakemore points out that Kootenay Landing is about 150 miles from Eurnle, the headquarters of tbo CroW's Most Pass iCoal Co., which produces the highest known grading of smelting fuel, both coal and coke'. The cost of tula coal at Kootenay Landing would be $3, and of tho coke $. per ton. Mr. Blakemore concludes his article with a summary of the prices at which the various raw* materials required for the production-of steel could he got together at Kootenay Landing and Bgures that pig iron can bo manufactured there at a cost of froni $10 to J12 per ton In normal times. Jt "The market and the natural resources aro ready to-hand; lt only requires capilal and brains to convert a great possibility Into an assured success." Mr.' Blakemore's article will serve to impress upon all of us who are Interested In tho building up of southern British Columbia that these great Iron deposits bave received far too little attention. Systematlc'efforts should be made to Interest capital ln the establishment of steel works In this province and prohably no better start ln that direction can be made than by giving the widest publicity to well established facts con- comin(__hc Iron resources of east Kootenay. -A. tramway proposition.

A DYNAMITER. Ferguson Man Charped With a Serious Offence. Henry Oann, 'of Ferguson, was brought down to this city yesterday and lodged in the provincial jail to stand his trial_ oh rather an unusual charge. From the evidence taken before justices 0. B. Batho and A. O. Cummins, who committed the accused for trial ou October 14th, It appears that on September 22nd dynamite was worked Into some kindling wood belonging to a woman of the town at Ferguson, with the result that when the woman started- a flre In the kitchen stove, an explosion took place; smashing the stove to pieces and doing other damage, hut not Injuring the woman or any one else in the house. Mamie Turner, tlie woman In question, accused Gann of deliberately boring holes ln the kindling wood; putting dynamite therein and causing the subsequent explosion. Gann will probable be tried at Trout Lake before judge Loamy on November 8th and.ln the meantime will remain In custody here. Wash greasy dinhes, pot_ or pans with Level's Dry Soap a powder.
