Lords Debate Reform LONDON, March 18.—Last night Lord Rosebery's resolution was carried without a division. Lansdowne accepted the principle of reform but refused to surrender entirely the hereditary right of the peer to bis seat.' He challenged Mr. Asqulth to let the country decide between the cabinet plan of veto first and reform, later, and the lords' plan of reform first. He disapproved the suggestion that there should be a great number of representatives of dominions overseas in the imperial parliament. **I do not think the colonies would Bend their best men to attend regularly your lordships' house " he said, "I do not think they would be grateful for the amount of representation, which from force of circumstances we should be able to give' them." Lord Crewe Ironical The Eearl ot Qewe In a bltlngly Ironical reply declared that the government favored the bicameral' system. He pointed out that the lords had always participated In the reform of the commons and that the latter would therefore want a voice in thereform of the lords. The object of the peers was to go on exactly as they had done with regard to Liberal measures but with less exposure to criticism. They wanted, victory to be more* creditable but equally certain. He chided Lord Curzon for declaring that sympathy of the colonies was with the lords. Speaking with, the authority of the secretary for colonies, he had never heard that point of view before. He finally declared the proposed scheme of reform was a mockery of the LiheralB. Nothing Doing "'■ , Tbe opinion ls that nothing will come of' Lord Rosebery's proposals, which -will be further debated next week. Many backwoodsmen are known not to favor tampering with the hereditary principle.

As a result n* his survey,, of this season's prospects he was in splendid spirits and predicted a general expansion of business from one end of the country to the other, fa this, he was sure, the Kootenay-Bqundary districts would have their full share. Lumber "We on the prairie Will take every foot of lumber you can cut," lie said, ''the only trouble Is that there are not enough mills in the country to cut as much as we want to *hruy.

I WILL ADJOURN AlbcrtaGovernmentShows no f Wit at all of Opposition Exorbitant Salaries by Waterways EDMONTON, March 18—The government made a final and complete surrender to the insurgents In the legislature yesterday afternoon by granting them what they were already preparing to demand, a temporary adjournment of the house until the royal commission and completed its enquiry into the Great Waterways deal. When the legislature adjourns again lt will stand adjourned until Thursday, May 26, when it will again he called to hear (he report of the commission and transact such other 'business which lt has been unabte to .transact up to date. Humiliating Predicament The premier gave notice of a motion to this effect in the opening of the house yesterday. An effort is being made with the night session last night and triple sessions today to clear up as much of the legislation as possible before adjournment All public bills are being withdrawn and only private bills will be proceeded with. Saturday morning, afternoon and evening If necessary the house will consider 'the public accounts, will go into supply to vote estimates totalling something like 92,000,- 000 sufficient for Uhe past two months and for the interim until the house again meets. The 'Mils passed will be assented to by his honor, then will come adjournment and immediately after Easter the opehlne ot the. Inquiry into the railway deal' which was the bone' of contention in tihe most sensational session ever held by any Canadian legislature. Win All Along the Line iThe insurgents have gained all tbey asked for. The government has showed no fight In anything, granting concessions aU along tbe. line.hv Jhelr. anxiety, to avoid a division, Premier Rutherford further made the statement that no money would 'be paid to the railway company on their guarantee until the investigation was over. It waB also promised that no portion, of the route to a further extent than Battenburg, 23 miles from Edmonton, iwonld be apimw. ed hy the government until the Investigation ls finished. Extravagant Salaries Smith withdrew his resolution asking that operations be stopped on Hie road in view of the premier's statement. He demanded, however, that something be -done in order that the government may have a check on all expenditures of the road. In the discussion that ensued Smith made charges that exorbitant salaries were being paid to officials ot the company. He said he understood tbat the consulting engineer. Dr. Waddell was paid 125,000 a year aud he compared this salary to that of the chief engineer of the Grand Trunk Pacific who got $10,000. He said that he understood that the general manager was getting $50,000 a year and that the president of the road was getting $60.- 000 a year. These were certainly exorbitant. Exorbitant Estimates Holding in his hand Waddell's estimate of the cost ol the road he quoted estimates of $12 an acre for right of way. This was exorbitant for the country through which the road was passing. Most of the land was Dominion government, and therefore would .cost nothing. He quoted »1 a yard tor loose rock and »2.40 for solid rock work. He oompared this with the Grand Trunk Pacific figures at Wolf Creek, a much harder country, which were on'y 65 cents tor loose rock snd J1.25 for solid rock. The Waterways' figures were out of all proportion. PROMOTION 18 ANNOUNCED FOR DESERVING OFFICIAL F W.

For the past week the almost summer weather has rendered It possible for the farmers to get on the land and the opportunity is everywhere being taken advantage of.

Slow, sluggish and impure blood will produce an inactive, unhealthy body, a body that will seriously handicap the keenest mind or most active brain. Why gamble with your happiness and your success in life ? You must know if your blood is impure. Dull eyes, sluggish brain and a pimply, blotchy skin are Nature's indications or blood impurity. Banish them-not by doctoring the effects, but by removing the cause—purifying the source. Nzws BLOOD PURIFIER* purifies and enriches the blood—removes the cause of all sorts of skin diseases and tones up the entire system. Nyal's Blood Purifier banishes that feeling of langour —that run-down, listless condition and consequent loss of appetite. The liver is stimulated, the blood enriched and the whole system responds vigorously to the beneficial effect of this excellent remedv. We strongly recommend Nyal's Blood Purifier because we know exactly what it contains. It is the good, old- fashioned German Blood Purifier of our grandmothers —made more effective and palatable. Nyal's Blood Purifier was compounded for just one purpose— to purify your blood—and it does its work well.

The annual review .of conditions ln the province by the president of the Vancouver board of trade it atnrayis looked fonward to with -much interest aa an authoritative pronouncement. In the review published a Dew days ago we read: £ Wett Kootenay and Boundary The legal difficulties of'the Slocan Star mine being over that district will Bhow renewed energy and various Boundary properties having been equipped with improved power and machinery we may hope that, .bar unforeseen drawbacks 1910 will be a good mining year. • Eatt Kootenay Aa to the situation ln Bast Kootenay the Cranbrook Herald says: Cranbrook Herald: Business-men and in fact all residents of this district, In relation to which Cranbrook Is a leading point, are looking forward to what ls to 'be more than a, passing boom, namely an extended period of prosperity, which will give an Impetus to the progress ol the country and will bring it again Into world wide prominence. Up to date methods will make possible the handling of the Immense bod- lea of mineral laying in.watt tor men to uncover and convert Into commercial channels, with heavy rewards both for themselves and the locality of their operations. Today, other fields, being, If not exhausted, placed under the control of corporations, the attention of mining men Is diverted to other parts for the employment of their ayatematloaUy. organised brains and capital. So with the almost assured placing of Cranbrook upon a through Une of railway for coast traffic, the attention of the whole commercial world will be drawn' to whatever natural resources U may pot- set and it Ilea within the scope of every business man interested ln the future of Cranbrook to help, by placing before hia connections, business or otherwise, on: the outside, facts and figures of the wealth to toe drawn upon by this district. ' lil BRITISH COLUMBIA M FISH AND GAME Protective Association Organized on the Coast—To encourage Co-opera- , tlon of Sportsmen Inspired by a desire to improve the hunting and fishing conditions in the province a number of Victoria Ntmrods gathered at the St Francis hotel this week and organized the British Columbia Fish and Game Protective association. The objects aB outlined in the constitution are to assist in the protection of fish and game ln British! Columbia and to promote and 'encourage field sports and -good fellowship among sportsmen. Behind the announced objects of the association, however, is a desire to amend the game acts with regard to fishing. Just at present tihe provincial Game act is ln statu quo, owing to a conflict ibetween the federal and provincial governments over the control of the waters of the province, both claiming ithe right to make regulations for them. The association -members 'believe the province is the proper party to deal with its fisheries and It hopes to be strong enough some day to give weight to the claims of this (province to control its fisheries. The present Dominion act which is in force Is not suitable for various .parts of the province, the regu- -lations which may apply to tihe coast at certain seasons not suiting the Inland waters, and it Is to make an. act to fit these local conditions that tlie association will lend its services. These officers were elected: President, 3. H. J. Saunders; vice-president H. G. Byrne; secretary-treasurer. J. R. Turner; executive committee, D, Adamson. J. Farmer, H. Travis. Mr. Cmlckshanks of. Mission, who /was present at the meeting, announced that any. three members having a letter from the president of the association would receive permission from him to shoot over hts pre* serves at wnv time, Mr. Bryan Williams, the orovinclal game warden, was an interested visitor at the meeting.

Alt Join in wishing him success. Hotel Sold Bam Miller who was one of the first settlers ln the camp has sold bis hotel and will move to New Westminster ln a short time, where he will reside In the future. Sam leaves Ymir with a record for square dealing that need not be ashamed of, and his many friends wish him all manner of success. The new proprietor is a recent arrival from Australia, a Mr. Downing, who with his family,will be a future Tmlr resident. The McLeod sisters, Misses Maggie, Etta and Jessie spent a day iu town this week visiting their slater Mrs. J. McLeod. . ; The firm of the DesBrisay Jobbing company In Ymir is no more. D. E.

Tattle and wife are spending a few days in Nelson this week. Dick Turner of Nelson is spending a few days In town visiting his brother and family, Mr. and MrB. W. J. Turner. Good Ore Showing Price ft Burgess have struck a good body of ore on the Iona group on Jubilee mountain. This property ts favorably located for the transportation of their product to the cars, being a little further from town than the Yankee Girl. Keep your eye on the Iona. Rumor has it that the Yankee Girl has encountered better values lately than at any time past. With the opening of spring the prospects for the future of the camp are looking anything but bad. The Yankee Girl continues to show up ln splendid shape and arrangements are on foot to Install machinery end equipment for the handling of their ores ln a more satisfactory manner. This mine certainly has the ore, and lt Is hoped that the promoters will, soon place the property on a 'basis where lt belongs. The Dundee Is only wafting for wagon roads to become passable to get lumber on the ground for buildings necessary for the prosecution of contemplated work. There ls a good chance for the Iona to soon be in the list as a shipping mine, and -Clarkson Bros, are already receiving more orders for forest -products than thev can get cars to handle. The prediction made by many that this Is to be a red letter year for Ymir appears ln a falf way to 81, Granville St, Vancouver/ P.O.

Major Two Studies Ut a iat, E Flat Minor Two Preludes, B Flat Minor and D Flat Valse A Flat Andante Spfanoto and Polonaise E Flat —t-'hopln Etude, G Flat Moskowskl Volkslled Mark Hambourg The visit of Mr. Mark Hambourg, like the recent visit of Miss Marie Hall, has heen a great event ln the musical history of Nelson. Like her among the younger violinists of the day Mr. Hambourg among the younger piano virtuosi Occupies a very distinguished place. Ever since his lirst public appearance as a young boy at Moscow in 1888, he has steadily advanced In public estimation and now his extensive tours have given him a world-wide reputation. A Russian by birth and by training- he stands in what has In later times become an increasingly glorious musical succession. HIb appearance as he steps on the platform recalls that of the great Anton Rubinstein, and his bearing and manner throughout are remnlscent of the same master. He was heartily welcomed by a select and appreciative, but hy no means too large audience. If Nelson desires to have the greatest artists here, she will have to make It worth their while. It will be easy for them to omit the city in arranging their tours. The opening Bach-Tauslg Toccata and Fugue at once revealed the presence of a master whose command of the keyboard and breadth of style enable him to Impart Interest to the most abstruse music and to set forth with perfect clearness ideas which are apt to remain obscure when presented by ordinary performers. This was followed by a rendering at once delightful and astonishing of the great Sonata Appassionata of Beethoven, itself a touchstone of greatness In pianists, Mr. Hambourg treated It throughout with highly poetic feeling and with a dar- Ing which made his rendering intensely interesting. The fire and passion of the opening Allegro Assal, the exquisite meditative pathos of the Andante Con Moto and the brilliant and moving appealingness of the closing movement, which was taken at great speed, were all presented with remarkable accuracy and intelligibility and with a power of execution, which left nothing to be desired. At the close of this part of the program Mr. Hambourg was repeatedly recalled, and it was evident that full sympathy was established between the audience and himself. IThe next part conveyed a revelation of the meaning of the works of Chopin the inner beauty of which shone resplendent. The facility with which Mr. Hambourg presented the series of pieces almost concealed the technical difficulties which have to be encountered in rendering therm. The audience fascinated' by Uie magic of composer and executant felt as If they could listen to their witchery for hours. Again and again recalled Mr. Hambourg gratified them witih a rendering of the Berceuse marked by infinite digital dexterity and by extreme delicacy of execution. The third part of the program involved a heavy strain on the muscular and nervous energy of the artist after all that had gone before, hut in spite of thia Mr. Hambourg achieved an additional triumph. The display o£ amazing execution and tonal power in the Moskowskl Etude, was followed bv the -satisfying rendering of a charming Volkslled by himself and then came tiie familiar strains of Mendelssohn's "Midsummer Night's Dream" music as woven together in new combinations by the fertile fancy and Inspiring executive genius of Llszl' Mr. Hambourg"* great powers, were ifully equal to this undertaking and the audience listened enraptured. Repeatedly recalled at the close he gave aa an encore Iischtticz- sky's La Source. No more could be de- imanded of his good nature, ibut it was pleasant to learn that Mr. Hambourg has discovered the presence ln the inadequate audience of many music lovers to whom he found It agreeable to play, though he had been obliged to meet, them nt the close of a long and fatiguing day's travel. It was also pleasant to be Inrorme^that the beauty of the scenery of Kootenay lake had In some measure compensated him for the Inevitable tiresomeness of the long journey from Lethbrldge.

This entire program will be put on at the matinee this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The program at tlie Empire theatre tnta evening includes some Hrst class -films, chief among which ls a splendid picture of "The City of Naples," showing Neapolitan types and the various Industries in vogue there.

"Pond Recollections," a good picture of unusual Interest. A good program, affording Its patrons very great pleasure, was put on at the Arcade last night. "The Girl Spy" Is a beautiful picture, showing a fascinating story of daring deedB, and Ib by the Kitlem company of New York. "A Trip to the Wonderland of America." Words of description are trivial and weak compared with a glimpse of this wonderland of the- world. "Any Port In a Storm," "Four Men From Dobbinsville," and ".7.15 p.m." are highly amusing subjects, great laughter accompanying their portrayal, the last one also affording much amusement to the youngsters.

Baseball league magnates are beginning to recover from their state ot coma and will on Saturday attempt to get the organization In running order. . « » A meeting has been called by C. J. Eckstrom, of Lethbrldge,' sucesaor to President Fleming, to be held at Moose Jaw. It ls expected that the work of getting the league's affairs Into shape will be completed. "When one looks over the situation it is brought to light that It is high time action was taken. It Ib only the matter of a couple of montrs before the season opens ana If the officials wish to avoid obstacles which arose at the eleventh hour last year they will have to take hold of the project In a businesslike manner and put their energies to the wheel. One of the most objectionable features last season, -and one which detracted greatly from the success of the league, was the Incompetent staff of umpires. Winnipeg fans have been somewhat unfortunate in this respect ln the past, but never, previously did they have foised upon them such undesirables who masqueraded In the garb of arbiters, Not only did the league suffer on the whole,* but here In Winnipeg the game was .developing into a Joke. Moreover, such unsatisfactory conditions put the followers of the diamond sport In a dlsgrunt- GIVE BEST RESULTS BECAUSE'THEYRE*THE'BEST TESTED FOR GERMINATION TESTED FOR PURITY STEELE BRIGGS SEED (°» Toron to. Haniilton.&WiiiiiLpe^ LIMITED New Westminister News NEW WESTMINSTER B.C. February 19—Tremendous activity ts now reported by local realty dealers foe property tn New Westminster and vicinity. The land registry returns tor the past eight days show property to the value of $600,000 to have changed hands. On February 1st 11,000,000 worth of property was transferred on that day alone. A flurry in Sapperton property has been noticed lately. A block of land on Columbia street and adjacent to the Sapperton school was sold this morning for $16,000, H. 0. Major being one of the sellers. Workmen at present are engaged at Sapperton in erecting a $30,000 -meat packing plant for the Prince Rupert Meat company, and also a gang ate preparing a site for the factory of the Western Canada Bag, Envelope & Boxboard company. The announcement has been made that a paper factory will be erected soon near the Fraser River Mills, by Messrs D. Smith, Davidson and Wright and the new Royal Columbia Hospital to cost $100,000 will 'be built this year ln Sapperton.—Province, Feb. 20. For two years we have been steadily urging our Clients to buy property in Burnaby, close to Westminster, between the B. C. Electric and the Great Northern Railway between the Cities We started in with 33 foot lots at $100 each, they advanced to $150, then to $200, then to $250, and on the first day of May every lot we have left In our Burnaby Addl tlons will be advanced to $300. They are still the greatest snap between tbe two cities at that price and before next .fall there will not be a lot in this neighborhood at less than $500 and probably $1000. There is more actual development going on right in thiB district than in any other place outside the two cities and the prices of lots are the lowest. Before two months we believe everything will have doubled. The municipality is spending $60,000 In streets through and around our subdivisions. The Canadian North* ern will soon be building. The new B.C. Electric car line Is being rushed, manufacturing sites are being secured almost daily, they will employ several thousand men. There Is no other city In Canada with the population of Westminster where property Ib as low considering her wonderful natural resources and immediate prospects. If you do not buy now you will have to pay more; every day you delay you are just losing money.

AUTOMOBILI8T3 KILLED BY FALLEN TREE Peasant Causes Fatal Accidents to Avenge Death of Child— Nqt Yet Arrested / MUNICH, March 17.-Investigation into the death of Argentine Consul Ueorger and four .friends, who were killed ln an automobile accident, appear to show that the car In which they were riding after nightfall crashed Into a tree, which had been deliberately felled so that It lay across the road. A series of accidents have occurred In the suburbs lately through •uitoniobillsts driving Into logs and other obstacles placed In their path. The police have evidence indicating that th© accidents were planned by a peasant who sought at once to avenge the death of a ohlld who had ibeen killed by a machine, ■and to Impress the government with the necessity of adopting more stringent ordinances against fast and inconsiderate driving. The peasant has not been arrested yet. SQUABBLING OVER DETAILS , OF RAILWAY LOAN PARIS, March 17.—Henry P. Davison, of the banking house of Morgan & Co., ls expected In Paris tomorrow in connection with the Hankow Sze Cltiien 139,000,000 railway loan tangle. The members of the French group do not conceal their Impatience over the hitch in the negotiations, which they attribute to English haggling. The four groups have agreed upon the pranclple of equal division of money and material, but the English are holding out for what ls described here as certain petty advantages. The squabble at the present stage ls declared to be made all the more ridiculous by the fact that the Mchang Chengtu extension covered hy the proposed quadruple agreement is still a mere project which neither the Chinese imperial government nor the provincial authorities have yet approved. Moreover, It is by no means certain that tbe concessions will ever be granted, as S*»e Chuen province ls the most anti-foreign division of the empire, and a Chinese company backed by a capital of $1,-100,000 has, already undertaken to build the road wpot from Ichanif. Ori the other band, the Canton-Hankow and the Hankow Tchani cooceRHlons belonging respeo tlvoly to the' Entrllsh and German financiers*, are accomplished facta.
