GREAT PROGRESS IN SENATE SOME CHANGES MADE IN DUTIES ON LEATHER GOODS WASHINGTON, Aug.3—The complete collapse of all important opposition to the conference report on the tariff blli was evidenced today when the senate agreed to vote on that measure at 2 o'clock next Thursday. Half an hour after an unanimous consent had been given to the adoption of that course, a general disinclination on the part of senators to speak brought an early adjournment until -noon tomorrow. When the senate met today the lack ofi interest in the proceedings was very evident. This had been caused by an agreement on the part of tho western senators to vote on the conference report and to correct the bide and leather schedules hy menns of a concurrent resolution to be acted upon separately. hue form of the concurrent resolution wns agreed upon in an inforin/al conference held in senator nld- rich's committee room today. Instructions are given by this resolution to tlie enrolling clerks of Ihe senate and house to change tlte language of the proviso reducing duties on boots nnd shoes and harness. The change will make dutiable at 10 per cent boots and shoes and upper leather of which is made wholly or In chief! from the hides or skins of cattle, including calf skins. A similar change wilt be made in relation to harness, saddles and saddlery. The effect of the amendment is to make the reduced duties on boots and shoes and saddlery and harness apply to such articles as are composed of leather from the hides and skins of cattle and calf skins, instead of confining the reductions to articles made fj*om hides which have hitherto been dutiable.

TOURISTS TO COME Canadian Pacific Railway Will Build Hotel and Will Advertise Scenic and Other Attractions of District Around Nelson and of Kootenays generally. F. W. Peters Submits Company's Plans to the Board of Trade, which Endorses them. "1. Tliat the railway company will immediately commence to and will continue to advertise the resources of ihe Kootenay district, Its attractions tor tourists and opportunities lor investment in the same way as is done for tlte main line. "i!. That the railway company will establish and maintain as formerly a district passenger agency at Neison. ".'.. That the railway company will construct and maintain at some point between Nelson and the townsite of Proctor, and tlie townsite of Balfour a tourist hotel of tlte class and character of those established on tlte main tine: such hotel to he similar to those flrsl constructed and to be capable of enlargement and to be ready for occupation for ihe season of 1010, "4. That the tiuestion of improvement of tJie_ railroad service between Lethbrldge and Kootenay Landing, and Spokane and Kootenay Landing will he at once tuken up with the passenger department with a view to making such immediate and future improvements as tlie traffic demands and the placing of tourist cars on the .regular trains. "5. Tbat tlie question of settlers' rates on effects and laiidseekers' rales will at once be taken up with tiie traffic department, "ti. That the question of rates on the Kootenay lakes shall at once be taken up with tiie passenger department." The above was tlie announcement of the Canadian Pacific Railway company's plans for the development of a tourist traffic through the Kooienays and also in regard to some other matters made to the board of trade last evening by P, \V. Peters, assistant to the second vice president, speaking on behalf of the company and with the direct authority of its president, Sir Tliomas Shaugbnessy. The company's adoption of this policy is the result of the negotiations which have been carried on for some months past between the board of Hade and tiie'company in reference to the company's genera! policy so far as this city and district are concerned, lu the negotiations represented by F. A. Starkey, president and E. K, Beeston, secretary, while Mr. Peters latterly performed a similar duty for the C.P.U. After Mr. Peters had submitted the plans of his company, a resolution was piissetl by the board accepting them as a satisfactory outcome of the negotiations between the board and the company. The result of the adoption M' this policy on behalf uf the C.P.R., it is felt, will not only benefit Nelson and the Kootenays generally hy bringing tourists through by lhls route, hut will also result In the more rapid development of the country through the Interesting of moneyed men passing through In its immense natural resources and should lead to targe Investments of outside capital iu mines, fruit lands and timber. The meeting at which the C.P.H.'s plans for the development of the city aud district were presented to tlie board of trade was perhaps the most largely attended In the history of the organization, over 50 of the city's most representative business men being present. The chair was occupied by President Starkey, and Mr. Beeston, tbe secretary, was present, Mr. Starkey called tlie meeting together promptly nt S: :i0 o'clock and lost no time In coming to the point in regard to tlie object of the meeting. After Mr. Beeston had read the notice caning the meeting, Mr. Starkey explained, for the benefit of those who were not in close touch witli hoard of trade affairs; the progress of the negotiations which had led up to the calling of the meeting. Some time ngo lie and Mr. Beeston had been appointed a committee to deal with the C.P.R. In regard to matters whicli were under discussion and last meeting be had asked that the matter be left In tbe committee's hands. This had been done and tlie result was that the mat- tor was now settled, Mr. Starkey then called upon Mr. Beeston to read a detailed report, setting forth the negotiations and what had been accomplished. This report was laid on the table and Mr. Peters called upon to lay the company's proposition before the members. Mr. Peters, in opening, referred to the portion of the report which said that the negotiations with the C.P.R. iiad heen left in the hands of the president and secretary, and remarked thnt he could bear tribute to the fact that they bad been left In good hands so far as Nelson ami the Kootenays were concerned, lie had never had to face such a strong presentation of a case for improvements and concessions anywhere as In the present case. in the case of a company like the C.P.R., with interests stretching from tlie Atlantic to the Pnciflc and across both oceans, there were naturally many things to engage tbe attention of the management. As a result it was possible that the interests of some sections, might at times be neglected. In the past perhaps Kootenay had not received the consideration it deserved. Personally that was his opinion. The company had not done what it might to bring in tourists anil, through them and othef sources, t3 direct money into Ihe country. His present trip and the one before, however, had given him nn opportunity to look into conditions here, with the result that he now had something to lay before the board. The company's present transportation facilities provided a satisfactory freight service throughout this country, while the passenger service, given by the boats on Kootenay lake, were distinctly in the interests of travel. This was his opinion arrived at with a full knowledge ot local conditions. The company, however, was prepared to do what it could in addition to develop traffic through the country, and he felt that the result would be highly satisfactory to the countrv generally. In regard to the wlut-f lie might say that with a view to coming to an understanding that would be satisfactory all around, the company had waived Its objections io certain terms of the lease and that matter was now-settled. It was the company's intention not only to repair the present wharf, but also to build a railway wharf alongside it, extending their track out to the end. This would be the company's only wharf in Nelson and the boats would tie up there on arrival in the city and there remain until their time of departure. Passengers would embark direct from the boat onto the train and vice versa. There would not be the same running around from wharf to wharf that there was at present. The company was under obligation to tho city council to provide accommodation for all other transportation companies desiring to use tlie wharf aud at a maximum rate fixed hy the city, while pleasure craft and small boats , would have the same access to the wharf that, they had at present. This matter having been disposed of. he had taken up with the president of tlie board of trade, and later with the management of the C.P.R., the development, of a tourist trade through the Kootenays. and also some other demands made by Mr. Starkey. He might say that he had arranged that the company's general advertising agent should visit Nelson with him on the present trip, but. unfortunately he had been delayed and would not reach here until this evening. This official wtis now on his way here from Banff, and on his arrival would commence work securing data upon which would be prepared well-illustrated literature advertising Kootenays' attractions for tourists. Tlie Kootenays would be advertised to the same extent as the main line. The literature would show intending travelers the advantage of either going or coming by the Crow's Nest route, instead of traveling both ways by the main line. The company would also restore to Nelson what the city should have, a district passenger agent located here. At present the ticket agents in this part of tlie country were compelled to apply to Calgary for instructions regarding extensions, etc., of tickets. More Important still, however, the company was prepared next season to erect and maintain a tourist hotel to the sizo and extent that the traffic warranted, and the building would be enlarged as necessity demanded. Other questions upon which assurances had been asked included better passenger rates for land seekers and better freight rates on settlers' effects. These were matters with whicli ho was not familiar, but he would undertake to lay both matters before the traffic department. He had also been asked for an assurance of belter service generally. This, lie thought, was pretty good already. The reputation of the uompnny was that the improvements In its service keep pace with the growth ln traffic. When the company established a tourist hotel in this district it. would be to its interest, even more than at. present, to maintain a service wh'ch would Induce people to travel this .way. In regard to this mntter he could give a general assurance that the service would be kept up to tbe highest standard ni' efficiency that the traffic warranted. As to Ihe question of passenger rates on the Kootenay lake boats, that was a matter that wa3 to have come before the railway commission at its last meeting here, but was dismissed as tlie complainant did not appear. The commission, however, had given permission to reopen the ease, and it could thus be taken up again. Sometimes tbe management found that the rates the passenger department were charging were not justified and mat ters were made right. This particular complaint he would lay before the passenger department. He desired to say that lie had the authority of the president of the railway to submit the proposals tliat he had just made and, if accepted by 'he hoard as satisfactory, they would he carried out to the letter. He could fairly say that when the company set out to do anything ii generally succeeded, and that this would apply to the building up of a tourist traffic through this country. The company would bring people through here unless the people objected to coming. This, he did not think, however, would be the case. He knew many tourists who bad already traveled this route and all had spoken in the highest praise nf it and most of them had been enraptured by it. These people had all taken the trip on their own initiative, and not as the result of tiny ad- ' vertislng done by the C.P.R., so very Increased travel could be expected us a result of the company's new policy. The mountains naturally at tract ed many, but he did not think anything could be finer than a trip down the Arrow lakes. He might point out that the bringing of tourists through this country would naturally attract attention to tho country's mining, lumbering and agricultural resources and would result fn the Investment of money here which otherwise would go into ventures in other places. What he was offering was not in the way of a bargain, but was a business venture pure and simple on the part of the C.P.R. Tbe company expected to reap it profit from the diversion of tourist traffic through the Kootenays. He hoped that the company's proposals, as he had outlined them, would be acceptable to the board and that they would result In great benefit not only to tlie city nf Nelsnn, but also to the whole of the Kootenays as well as proving profitable to the company Itself. If these proposals were satisfactory to the board tbe company was willing to -bind itself by exchange of letters or In any other way desired, lie might say, before concluding, that, the hotel would not necessarily lie in Nelson. Already the hotel accommodation was latin excess of the city's-present needs, far better than was to he found in any other city In the country twice the size of Nelson. Tne company would have- no hesitation iu referring fn its advertising to the two big hotels already in operation in Nelson. An hotel outside the city might serve the same purpose as one in it nnd might bring just as many people here. The exact location or the liotolc, however, was a matter of the future. Mr. Beeston then, at Mr. Peters' request, read a memorandum setting forth as above an outline ut the policy cf the company proposed to adopt In regard io the development of a tourist "traffic and aiso what Mr. Peters undertook to do in regard to other matters. Mr, Starkey, in referring to the matter, said there was no doubt but that the company's plans would result In great benefit to the country, perhap: the least of which would he that arising directly from the tourist, traffic. People, however, who perhaps otherwise would scarcely ever bear of the Kootenays antj certainly would never know anything of it or its resources, would he brought through and would be Interested to a great or iess extent in its milieu, timber and fruit lands and wouid In many cases invest. As far as 'tlie hotel was concerned he might, point out that If it were erected anywhere close to Nelson " would draw a large weekend trade not. only from this hut also from surrounding cities, and this traffic alone*, would go a long way towards paying expenses. In their dealings with the C.P.R. he and the secretary had done nothing to create any ill win on the part of the company. They had treated the matter as one of business, and had been met in the same spirit, Some of the ?">0 a month men, it was true had t^ot wrathy and hnd talked "f moving the C.P.R. shops from Nelson, but no attention should he paid to such people. Mayor Selous then moved the acceptance of "the C.P.R. proposals and Mr. Peters' assurances fn regard to other matters. In doing so he said he was acting as a private citizen of Nelson. There was one matter on which he desired to express himself in the same capacity and lhat was in regard to the site for the hotel. It should he In Nelson. If it were iocnled anywhere else it weu.d benefit the plane where it was built and not the city. It was to the advantage of the C.P.R. as owners of the hotel, to have it Incited in Nelson, as it was to the interests of the people of Nelson to have It here. Nelson offered all the advantaees in the way of boating, fishing, mountain climbing, etc. that did any other spot in the country, nnd possessed many that no place else did. By all means the hotel should he In Nelson. Mayor Selous' resolution accepting the ofder of the C.P.R, was seconded by ,T. M, Lay and passed unanimously. Before ft was, however, W. W. Beer asked Mr. Peters if he could give a guarantee that tlie shops would nol be moved from here and the latter replied that in order to be absolutely fair lie could not. Tlie shops here had been established under the conditions of today. If conditions changed at any time the company womd have to he governed by these changes. He could not say that there ever would be any change, but at the same time neither could he say there wouldn't be. A resolution moved hy James Johnstone, seconded by S. A. Kelly, was then passed adopting the report of Messrs. Starkey and Beeston and on motion of Mr. Kelly seconded by Mr. Johnstone, a vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Peters for his presence and for tlie frank and fair way he had met the board and submitted to it the company's plans. To this Mr. Peters replied briefly, reiterating his previous statements that the company would do Its best to carry out its undertaking and pointing out that it rarely failed in anything it undertook; T. G. Procter moved, seconded by E. W. WldJowBOn, a vote of thanks' to Messrs. Starkey and Beeston for their work, In responding, Mr, Beeston. on behalf of Mr. Starkey and himself, said that they were repaid for their work In regard to this matter by the fact lhat the board had adopted their report and approved ofi the policy adopted by tho C.P.R. as a result of their negotiations. He could assure the hoard that the negotiations had been of an extremely delicate nature. The C. P. R. officials had In some Instances to take them into their confidence, while they also had to deal with the suggestions made from time to time by members of the bonrd nnd others. All, however, was now settled and he imped in a way that would prove satisfactory to all. 1-in desired to thank the member;-! for ibe indication of their appreciation. This concluded the business and the meeting then adjourned. TWO YEARS' AGREEMENT TABER OPERATORS AND MEN COME TO TERMS SETTLEMENT MADE IS ON MINE RUN BASIS (Western AsRoclntp-1 Press.)'

Aug. 3—Three alienists in the supreme court today made ii unpleasant for Harry K, Thaw, who killed Stanford White and was adjudged insane, but now demands his release from Mattewan asylum, ns n mentally normal man. All three testified that he was insane and when Thaw look the stand briefly after some disconcerting testimony he was plainly ruffled and nervous but. Mr. Jerome dismissed him after a Hew comparatively unimportant questions. Of the alienists who testified. Dr. Austin Mint. Hi*. William Hirsch and Br. Baiter, the last named gave most important testimony. He is superintendent of Mattewan and is the only alienist to appeal* as witness in the rase without compensation.! .Instlce Mills called attention to the fact ami took a hand In questioning him. Dr. Baker said thai in his opinion Thaw is not only insane now but. a dangerous person to he at large. Tt was shortly after this declaration that Mr. Jerome called Thaw to the stand. He was pale and apparently shaken. The district attorney put in evidence some rather incoherent notes written by the prisoner and asked him to explain them. After parries hack ami forth and laborious (-"cnl a nations i>,_ Thaw of certain writings ho said "And I want, you to know. Mr. Jerome, many of these notes you call suggestions, were written nt the renue'-f nf my lawyers." Mr. Jerome pointed his finger at Thaw and said: "Do you mean to sit there and tell us. who observed yon in both trials, that yon did nnt know more about the case than your lawyers did*' "I do," was the quick reply. Dr. Austin Flint, called next, described a paranoiac as a person dominated bv certain de.usion^. whose mental and physical state might not lie etherwH" affected, except In so far ns Ibese delusions influenced him. Tbe procress nf the disease was usually very slow, he said. It rarely caused death nnd ex- cent In the last singes the patient mtglil retain bis faculties unimpaired. Parn- nolacs, he concluded impressively, never recover. Dr. T-Tlrsoh varied the general verdict by declaring that Thaw was n "dieenev- ate paranoiac." Charles Morschnuser.

Aug. 3—Down in Victoria there will be "things doing" from the SOth to the 25tll of September. Those dates embrace the capital's exhibition week and that signifies live days of unalloyed pleasure. The show will have its educational value industrially, agriculturally and commercially; it will give tin1 visitor some Idea of the progress the west has made during tlie past 12 months In all these lines, but. perhaps more than all else. it will furnish Victorians and the thousands of strangers within their gates an opportunity to spend a thoroughly good time together.

An airship will make a flight every afternoon. It will sail over the grounds, circle about the city, and returning, make an ascent a few feet from the spot at which it started.

If, of the two people it takes to make a bargain, you are ONE, how much would it be worth to you to find the other one. Would it be worth the cost of a classified ad? Would it be worth the cost of a small —but determined— 'campaign of want advertising ?" The "other one" necessary to "make a bargain" is found, in nine cases out of ten, through advertising — often through want advertising, and, in this city, USUALLY through want advertising in THIS newspaper. "The other one" watches the want ads. pretty closely —but, of course, has to be convinced. If your offer is "right," that will be an easy task.

PREACHESASSASSIMTION INDIAN MALCONTENT WHO ADVOCATES EXTREME MEASURES KRISHNAVARMA ADVOCATES THE KILLING OF ENGLISHMEN Krishnavarma, the editor of tlie "Indian Sociologist," who is accused of being in a lurge measure responsible for the recent murders of Sir William Curzon Wyllie and Dr. Luleiica, in London, recently moved his paper's office of publication from , London to Paris, in order to be better able to preach political assassination among the COO Indian si intents In England. He argues thnt it is better lo assassinate Englishmen at home than abroad as It would only'embarrass France to kill them in lhat country. In that connection he is quoted as saying, in the course of an Interview ln Paris: "Should we embarrass them by assassinating an Englishman1 here we should expect no better than to be escorted to the frontier. "In France there are very few Indians. In England there are no less than 600 Indian students, and should we move definitely to clear the way for the freedom of India, It will be Englishmen in England who will lie removed, and not Englishmen in Prance. Then there will be no excuse on the part of our hosts for Inviting us io leave the country. "I have many friends In England, some old college chums, of whom Lord Morley is one. I like Englishmen personally, but in this campaign I have completely lost sight of the personal element. It is our duty to remove any man who stands in tlie way of India's emancipation. "For years I have closely studied every phase of International law, nnd I know the exact position of myself and colleagues In Pni-is in relation to the government of France. "I have given all my friends In India tlie choice of throwing themselves In with ns heart and soul and giving tip everything else, or, on tbe other hand, of keeping entirely clear of us nnd our work. "Our organization Is such that It can only embarrass outside sympathisers and bring severe reprisals on them. We shall break none ot the laws of France, but will be active enough in England. "Our organization is now perfected. We are strong and we are sincere. Every man Is true, and has forsaken all for the one great end—the freedom, the absolute freedom, of India." Killing No Murder The "Indian Sociologist" contains in its July issue an article by Krishnavarma justifying murder In the form of "political assassination." He says: "At the risk of alienating the sympathies and good opinion of almost till our old friends and uc<|uaintances in England, and of some of our past helpmates In India, we repeat that political assassination Is not murder, and that the rightful employment of physical force connotes "force used defensively against force useu aggressively," as aptly expressed by the late Hon. Auberon Herbert in his Herbert Spencer lecture, at Oxford. In 1000." After this subtle attempt to turn a phrase torn from its context, to Ills own use, Krishnavarma adds: "In our contention that political assassination Is not murder, we have the support nf International law, according to whicli political offenders have not sinned against the morality of the universe, but against the absurd laws of an antiquated political system, like the one now prevailing In India." Krishnavarma's praise of murder is conveyed in the following wily words: "We are not here concerned with the question how England, in her own territory, should deal with persons who commit political assassination, and whom she, of course, regards as murderers. "The chief object we hnve In view is to point out that all unprejudiced men treat political assaslnators not as criminals in any way, but often regard them as benefactors of their race. Krishnavarma litis for some time supported India bouse, at Highgate, where young Indian students for some time past lived rent free. Krishnavarma, who wears gold spectacles and the dress of an English clergyman. left England for Paris IR months ago. The young Brahmin who attacked Sir William Lee-Warner gave India Iiouse as his address. Krishnavarma in December hist proposed to his friends to erect a memorial to t'nm- young Indian "martyrs," three of whom were In fuel hanged fn India for participation In the Muzaffer- pur outrage In May of Inst year. Although his suggestion to erect a memorial was not carried out, Krishnavarma founded four "martyr's memorial scholarships," in ihe names of the four murderers. The Paris correspondent of a London paper Interviewed Krishnavarma on tlie recent tragedies. "Of course," he said, "you must not expect me to make a declaration about yesterday's accident." This lie said, smiling affably. 'You mean yesterday's murder?" I said. "No," said Krishnavarma. "If you object to the term accident, let us call it yesterday's act of self-defence. "From ihe point of view of myself and Indian patriots, the English are robbers who have camped on our land, and everything we do to turn them out Is an act of justice. "I do not wish to talk about tt. My sympathies are quite well known, but If I gave too clear an expression of opinion the French government might. at tbe request of the British government, ask me to leave the country, and I am very comfortable here in Paris." Krishnavarma then began to talk about Sir William Curzon Wyllie. with whom he had been on very friendly terms. When Sir William was British resident In Oudb, Krishnavarma was a member of the council of ministers, lie received numbers of letters from Sir William Curzon Wyllie. and remarked, still smiling, that he bad no complaint whatever to make against him. Regarding Dr. Lalcaca, who was killed tit the same time, Krishnavarma said that was very probably a mistake. "But I want you to understand," he said, "my attitude with regard to England and the English. We Indian patriots consider that the English have taken our country from us, nnd we consider ourselves justified In using every means to drive them out. We do not think any means too great." "Even murder?" I asked. "I refuse," said Krishnavarma, "to call It murder. It Is merely political justice." "Then," I said, "do you regard tlie deatli of Sir William Wyllie as justice?" "That Is a question I refuse to answer," was the reply. "I dare not answer, for the reason I gave you just now. But I do not consider his death a murder, t consider It an act of self- defence and absolutely justifiable."

President John K. Pollock made a most efficient and acceptable chairman and in opening (he toast list briefly explained the object of the banquet, at such a time, welcomed the guests from sister towns and asked them to convey to the citizens of their respective cities the deep, sincere and heartfelt appreciation of. the people of Fernle for the magnificently generous manner in which they had responded to their appeal for help when their homes and industries had been erased from the map of British Columbia one year ago. The toast, to the king was as usual "the first on the list and was honored with enthusiasm, the audience accompanied by the orchestra, singing the national anthem.

McMORRlH Manager TOURIST TRAFFIC FOR KOOTENAY There will be general gratification, not only in Nelson but also throughout the Kootenays, over tbe announcement made by Mr. P. \V. Peters, assistant to the second vice president of tlie C.P.R., as to the company's plans ln regard to tills city and district. The carrying of these inlo effect will mean that n portion of the constantly increasing tourist traffic whicli the C.P.R. is now handling over Its main line In this province will be diverted to the Kootenays, whicli offer scenic and other attractions lo the tourist unsurpassed In any part of Ibe world. For the next year or so il will take considerable advertising 10 accomplish the ohject sought, but the C.P.R.. when it takes any project of lhls kind in hand, never does tilings by halves. A stream of tourists through this country may, therefore, be expected next summer, and their numbers will increase year by year as the traveling public become aware of the opportunities for sightseeing and for tlie enjoyment of nature generally that the Kootenays offer. Every tourist who visits this country will become in himself tlie means of advertising among his friends and acquaintances the country's attractions and will In this way he the means ot directing others this way. One of the ways in which iho C.P.R* undertakes to adopt for the development of a tourist traffic through the Kootenays is by advertising In differ- on ways what the country has to offer the traveler and pleasure seeker. Another purl of the scheme is the erection of a tourist hotel to cater to the comfort of those whom the company's advertising may bring this way. The she of this botel is one of the matters that have not yet been decided. Ii must, however, be In some place easy of access from the regularly Traveled route and at the same time be so situated that ii will be a headquarters from which short trips can be taken to ibe various points of interest in the country, including the fishing streams and pools, and the distdicts where big game abound. The site of this hotel is a matter, however, which can be left over for the present, although not for so long a time that it will be impossible for the company, after selecting It, to erect the building In time for next year's trade. As was pointed out several times at the meeting last night the diversion of tourists tills way will not only afford a direct benefit, but it should also result In the Interesting of capital In ali of tlie country's industries. The re-establishment of a district passenger agency here Is also a matter that will directly benefit the city and district. There are several matters whicli Mr. Peters la to take up further with tlie management of the road and it is lo be hoped with equally favorable results. Tlie announcement of the adoption by the C.P.R. of this new line of policy in regard to Nelson as well as to the Kootenays generally is the result of negotiations between tlie local board of trade and the company, whicli have been in progress for some time. In these negotiations the board of trade has been represented by Mr. F. A. Starkey, president, and Mr. E. K. Bees ton, secretary, while Mr. Peters has acted for the C.P.R, The satisfactory outcome should be taken not only as evidence of a desire on the part of the C.P.R. to assist in the upbuilding of this city and in the development of the district, but also as reflecting the manner In whicli tlie claims of the city and district were presented by Messrs. Starkey and Beeston, to whom credit is due for what has been secured. G. T. P.

IMPERIAL DEFENSE Australian Press Opinion on Present Conference Deliberations (Canadian Assoclute-1 Press-..) MELBOURNE, Aug. 'A—Tlie Age declares that tin* defence conference deliberations cannot lead lo a successful conclusion unless Britain makes full and intelligent provision for diversified interests and local aspirations of colonies. Australia is unalterably deiermined to build its own navy and train its own citizens by compulsory cadet service, hut. continues The Age: "Australia first and foremost demands the service of both our soldiers and ships and we can-v not permit another voice in their control. In an imperial crisis Australia would gladly place the entire armament at Britain's disposal but only by consent, not by compulsion."

BRITISH VIEW^OF TRADE WHAT LONDON PAPER SAYS OF CANADA'S COMMERCE UNITED KINGDOM DOMINION'S MOST IMPORTANT MARKET LONDON, Aug. 8.—Two facts emerge Very clearly from a study of tbe return Just Issued uf Canadian trade In twelve months, says The Standard. The first la that.' the United .States is the coun-ry whicli has at present the largest commercial interest ia Canudn; and Ihe second Is lhat the I'nited Kingdom is the country In whicli Canada is must profoundly i*on- eehied for tbe sale of her produce. The figures supply much food for reflection. The Canadian Imports for 1008-!) iiuioutued to 70 i-l million dollars from tin* United Kingdom, and no less than ISO million dollars from the United Stales. The exuous were I'M million dollars to '.he failed Kin Ed "in ami 03 1-2 million dollars to the United States. Compared wltli tbe previous twelve months there wus, In sympathy wiiii tin* industrial depression prevailing all over the commercial world, a decline of Iffl million dollars of Imports and 18 1-2 million dollars of exports. Canadian Imports from the t'nltt'il Kingdom fell by 2,1 million dollars, nnd from '-he I'nited States bv Hi) 1-:' million dollars, On the other hum]'the exports tn the United Kingdom fell by no more than a million dollars, l>m to the United Slates hy l'l millions dollars. Thus, in the past year of acute panic and industrial depression tlie United Kingdom hns sustained her demand for Canadian produce, whereas the neighboring country was compelled lo reduce her im- iports by about 15 per cent. We (juote these figures us demonstrating tlte thesis we are constantly upholding, Hint li is to tllle United Kingdom thnt Canada does ,now und for a very eonslileruhle Mine must continue to look as her hest, mas: reliable und most profitable market. On the other ban, we recognize also Hint there nre in the Canadian miltket such potentialities, so great u possibility nf expansion for British manufacturers, that tho mother country should lone nn opportunity of seeorlng nn iii-niniriTiie-ii wilh Canada which would give British manufacturers a decided advantage in that mark«-t for those goods in whicli active competition wltli foreign goods exists. We are mindful of the fact, and we know that this country Is not a little grateful for it. thai Canada already gives n substantial preference to British over foreign goods. Many trades which were almost ex tin- wished in 181J7. when the preference was first incorporated In Hie faun.Han tariff, have since been revived, and have ginwn to considerable dimensions. Other trades have not, however, been so fortunate. Chief among those is tlte group of iron goods and machinery of which ihe exports from the United Stales to Canada In Hie last ten yeili'S hnv increased nenrlv three-fold, or rrom 18 to 3S million dollars. It is no exaggeration to say Hint scarcely ono of the items comprised In this group could not have lioen supplied from :h" homo country. To hi'ing about ibis fa- suit ll might he necessary to extend considerably the preference on these article**, Wo believe, however thai Mils enlarged preference would not he required formnio than a short period, it Is necessary only to deflect the present channels or trnd • from foreign Into Imperial directions. Contiguity, appetite, fashion hnve nil helped to establish the United States in the Canadian market, A supreme effort minnow oust them from the position, vhlch, however, thev must hold (he more firmly the longer this arrangement is deferred, Tn om* pows pages last week we reported the notable speech of n "Winnipeg delegate to the lo'perlnl Press conference, in which our manufacturers were urged to hpjutr ourselves in tbe tnntie- of securing n hotter niace lu the rapidly growing markets of the Dominion, The latest trade returns form n striking commentary upon Mr. Nh-hols" words spoken at Manchrstf****, tl furnishes nlso ao urgent reason for the provision upon om- shle nf pome praoticnl response to the preference already given us bv P'-nml".

KINGS IN CONFERENCE KING EDWmRD SPENDS DAY PRIVATELY WITH CZAR RUSSIAN MINISTER ON INTERNATIONAL MATTERS COWES, Aug. I!—Kins Edward, accompanied by his guest, the emperor of Russia, who arrived here yesterday, Is spending tbe day cruising on his old cutter the Brftxahla, and In the meanwhile M. Iswolsky. the Russian minister of foreign affairs, count Beckendorf, Russian ambassador to Great Britain- and sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, are discussing matter.*! of diplomacy aboard the -admiralty yacht Enchantress. With the exception of the cruisers forming bhe escort of fhe Russian emperor, the great fleet that was hero yesterday has disappeared and tbe roadstead remains In possession of tiie racing yachts assembled for tbe regatta. LONDON, Aug. 3—The Daily Telegraph's Cowes correspondent had an interview yesterday with M. Iswolsky, the Russian minister nf foreign affair!, who spoke of the admirable International situation which had resulted from the friendship of the ruling houses of Great Britain and Russia and of the two mighty empires whicli yearly were growing closer together and forming one nf the most powerful guarantees of the peace of Europe and ultra-Europe. M. Iswolsky referred at some length to Anglo-Saxon co-operation in Persia. Questioned as to the withdrawal of tho Russian troops from Persia, M, Iswolsky said that H was a great expense to keen the two contingents there and they will be recalled as soon as permanent order was restored and the administrative machine was working smoothly. He further expressed himself as highly satisfied with his conversation here with sir Edward Grey, the British foreign minister. He -said tbe understanding between the two countries was grottnded'on a firm basis and while they hnd no conflicting interests they had increasingly powerful Interests in common. With regard to the situation in the island of Crete. M. Iswolsky suid he had good hopes that the difficulty would he smoothed out to the satisfaction of all parties. Tlie correspondent adds that the Russian emperor's entourage was chiefly impressed with the emneror's favorable mention of the dnma in his toast on- Monday night. They see in It their monarch's unchangeable determination to maintain the existence of the representative institution he created. They consider this the most significant thins* that has occurred during the visit, of the emperor to Cowes. BASEBALL RESULTS.

Eagle Block Baker Street A Talk On Corsets To bo beautiful is the rightful desire of every true woman, her beauty is tho supreme gift of nature to hcmanlty, Beauty lias innny attributes, and Ir has long been an open question whether fairness (if face or perfection of figure has the grea'test power of attraction, The majority of women are endowed with a beautiful figure, bin Oar too many ruin their appearance by confining the most supple parts of their body in badly made, badly constructed and unhygienic corsets, Upon the style and fit of the latter article depends to a very eon- siderable extent the whole question of grace of movement and perfection of figure. The first quality that the perfect corset should possess Is thnt of giving sufficient assistance to tho [muscles of the waist in th«Hr work of supporting those soft parts of Ihe body which under present conditions of life so certainly require it.

INEUSON :=s B' C* BOBBY KERRWELCOMED OLD COUNTRY PEOPLE ADMIRE CANADIAN RUNNER nnu, and lei Kerr THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM RACE AGAIN The question as to the'proper relative merit oi our visiting sprinters this year is a very open one." says tlie London Sporting Life. "The running of R. E. Walker and N. J. Cartmell at tlie championships was most convincing, It is true, ami on that showing Bobbie Kerr could scarcely he placed on a level with either ot tlie others. Yet no more than a week goes hy before we Hnd Kerr beating Cartmell a yard in ihe 1UU and a loot in the 22D ai Birmingham; nur can It be said that there was any lluke about the matter. The 100 was run In 10 1-5 seconds on a very dead grass course, ami the furlong in ^21-5 seconds, a pertormance equal to Cartmell's at Stainlord Bridge. So it is quite clear tliat lor some reason or another we did not see the best of Kerr on championship day. "After Saturday's results, many of ns would like to see htm meet Walker again, say, at such a distance as that of last Saturday, 160 yards, fori still believe that the South African lias something In hand at short sprint distances. Whether he will du anything ai 22tf yards Is mi open question, but Walker could run a fair quarter a year ago, and there ts little doubt as to his staying power. Perhaps the greatest race between ihe trio would be a straight 220, and if they could be brought together at such a distance I shomd like to be there to see the eon- test. On a good day the present record would assuredly go by Uie board. I "The new ground at Abergavenny was opened on July a. in the iuvita* I lion sprint, 100 yards, Walker beat Cartmell, who was placed on tlie quarter-yard mark, a foot in 10*^-5 seconds. But it was two days after a championship. On Salurday Walker fully redeemed his reputation at the polytechnic meeting, ln the open sprint he failed to win his heat in 101-5 seconds, but it appeared to me that he took matters easily in tlie last 20 yards, ami anyhow, 10 1-5 secondB was quite equal to evens at Stamford Bridge. Of Walker's 150 yards one can only speak In the highest praise. Though palpably slowing in the last dozen strides, he did 15 seconds flat, and beat E. W. Haley by five yards. "It seems that P. J. Roche and W. Murray were selected for the sprint and furlong. When the Irish pair heard that Kerr was available they, ln a sporting spirit, offered to stand down, •ach In one event, Murray ln the sprint Lindsay's Dancing: Pavilion Eagles' Band Every Tuesday Night Wilkinson's Orchestra every Wed.

Johnson Covers Jeffries' Money NEW YORK, Aug. :(—Sani Berger, manager for J. J. Jeffries, expressed considerable delight and said: "Well, 1 guess there'll be a light," when Informed this evening that .lack Jolinson had posted $5,000 in Chicago today to bind a match with Jeffries for the heavyweight championship. In regard to the report that Johnson wants Jeffries to agree to the time and place for the mutch before the latter goes abroad, Berger said: "How can Jeffries name any time or place for the light, particularly a place before a bid has been received from a promoter. "We would like to know when and where as well as Johnson, but we are not mlndreaders. If Johnson means business," he continued, "he should come here to New York as soon as the bids for the light, are in and he and myself will go over them, and anything that looks reasonably good to us both we will accept. "Jeffries Is dealing with Johnson and the public In good faith. He only wants what Is fair and reasonable. Any other champion—and Jeffries Is the real champion—would have demanded 'At) per cent of tlie gate or purse, but he is good enough to say that Jolinson shall have a loser's end. No, I won't say how much It will be, but it will repay him for, training expenses, oven if it does not'for the betting—he will surely bet." Brian Mawr Wins NARRAGANSETT PIER, R. I..

BELL TALKS OPTIMISTICALLY OF THAT CAMP John P. Bell, who has spent the past few days In Nelson us a guest at tlie Strathcona, returns to Erie tbis morning. Mr. Bell Is an old-timer In British Columbia, having In 1887 lo- cated in Vancouver, in which city he resided for eight years, utter which he came to Kootenay aud lias since lived in this district continuously. Speaking to a representative ot" The Daily News last evening, Mr. Bell recalled the Tact that In 1891 he, wltli a iv man named Billings, who iiad come io Kootenay from the Similkameen, was going to Trail. At a point just below Trail they had occasion to swim their horses across the Columbia river just where there is at present every prospect of a steel bridge being constructed In the near future by the provincial government to span the Columbia. "Should this bridge be constructed," said Mr. Bell, "It will be one of the llnest In the interior; as it will need to be about four-fifths of a mile in length. There Is an Island just below Trail which would render It an easy matter to spun the river." He stated that the members of the legislature from this district were at present working for Its construction and he felt sure that they would have little difficulty in securing the necessary aid from the provincial government to ensure its speedy erection. Should the bridge be constructed it would assist in opening up a good mining and ranching country and would not only prove beneficial to the residents of tiie district directly adjacent to Trail, but would be of great value to the residents of tbe valley between Trail and the line of the S., P, & N. railway. Referring to the country around Erie, Mr. Belt said that the district generally showed signs of great advancement. Several of tbe mines were being worked on an extensive scale, while the ranches looked remarkably well. During the present week a lease and bond bad been taken on the Second Chance and the Juno by a local syndicate. These were Iwo promising claims and the bondholders were confident that they would net good returns. The Second Relief and the Arlington continued Mr. Bell, were being worited .extensively, while tlie Gordon, a property situated one mile to the south of Erie, was being developed wltli good results, S. L, Myers wns working tbe Wafer, which adjoined the Second Relief, and Messrs. McDonald and Bellenger bad completed a trail to the Lucky Boy claims, from which they expected to rawhide next winter. The wagon road between Erie and Salmo was now almost completed and would open up a large tract of ranch land In the neighborhood. Por this road the residents of the district were Indebted to J. H. Schofield, M. P. P., and Harry Wright, government agent. Mr. Bell expressed great faith in the possibilities of the district around Erie Just Received our first car of new crop ' if Alfalfa Hay Also hnve a good supply oil Bran, Shorts, Middlings, Dairy Chop and Oil Cake Meal.

GOES UP IN SMOKE Big Fire Burns Box Cars and Much Coal HALIFAX, Aug. 3—The coal sheds of the I.C.R., more than a dozen box cars, halt a dozen coal hoppers, 700 tons of coal and other property more or less valuable went up ln smoke this afternoon at the I.C.R. yards, Richmond. The good work ot the I.C.R. fire department, handicapped though It was by Insufficient equipment saved the Bur- rounding property especially the round house, from destruction. The fire had gained considerable headway before the city apparatus arrived, when good work wus done hy the men. The engines were all taken from the round house, cars were hauled to sidings further ttwary from the fire. The D.A.R. train was deluyed until trenches were dug under the rails for the hose, when It went in nnd the Sydney train went out. The delay of the D.A.R. train was slight.. The damage is estimated at $7000. New coal sheds, are being built at-the new roundhouse so the loss Is not serious. Rainier Beer !■ the But Beer. Mlnard'e Liniment Curet Soldi, Etc.
