Provincial Loan Taken Up London, Mar. 30:���The new British Columbia loan of $7,500,- 000 has been underwritten at 99. It bears 44 per cent interest. Miss Margaret Crawford, of the Hospital nursing staff, is recovering from appendicitis, for which Dr. Wrinch operated suc- sessfully. The Harris residence, near the Hospital, was endangered by a fire which caught in the roof on Tuesday. With the assistance of members of the hospital staff the blaze was extinguished before much damage had been done. A fire alarm was sounded on Wednesday morning. Some April Fool jokerhad placed coal-oil tins, filled with shavings, on the roof of C. A. Sandberg's cabin and set fire to them. The resulting blaze caused the alarm. No damage was done. F. M. O'Brien, who is now identified with the B. R. Jones Co., was up from Skeena Crossing on Thursday. He is enthusiastic in speaking of the prospects of the mineral district tributary to the Crossing, and believes the development of the Rocher de Boule mines will bring prosperity to the embryo town. F. C. Fuller, of the Royal Standard Investment Co., returned on Monday from Manson creek, where his company has large hydraulic holdings. It is understood a crew of miners will be sent in shortly, to begin the season's work on the Royal Standard leases. Indian Agent R. E. Loring returned a few days ago from Gitwangak and Cedarvale. At the latter point, he says, he saw robins, bees, and butterflies on March 19. Cedarvale ranchers are looking forward to another prosperous season. J. W. Graham and others have planted large numbers of fruit trees. A. S. Gray, the "Potato King" of the Skeena, is preparing to test various cereal crops. Shooting Affray At Francois Lake As a result of a dispute between J. F. Hall and William Behnke, two ranchers of North Francois lake, the former is in custody, charged with shooting and wounding Behnke. It appears that the men had a quarrel, following which Behnke proceeded to remove his belongings from Hall's cabin, in which he was living. Hall, after threatening his erstwhile comrade, fired at. him as he was leaving the premises, wounding him in the leg The prisoner will receive his preliminary trial before L. Forde, J. P., at North Francois. Constable Fairbairn went up on to day's train, with Hall. Prisoner Escapes Thomas Pekel, who was in custody on a charge of house-breaking, escaped from the lock-up on Thursday morning. The jailer- had unlocked Pekel's cell and proceeded along the row, when the prisoner quietly slipped through the corridor door, which he bolted on the outside. He seized a rifle and got away. The police hope to recapture the fugitive before he gets out of the district. Bert Schooling expects to leave tomorrow for a vacation trip to the coast cities. Among the week's visitors to Hazelton were J. Crossitt and S. Watts, of Tassoo Harbor. MAY REDUCE TARIFF ON FARM MACHINERY Ottawa, April I:���It is expected that the budget announcements of the Hon. W. T. White, minister of finance, will be made on Monday afternoon next. Undoubtedly the most interesting feature of the budget speech will be that portion which deals with the tariff, for there is already considerable speculation as to the probable changes which will be outlined. The fiscal proposals which will be contained in the budget are, for obvious reasons, kept a close secret, until the minister himself announces them. Speculation only is therefore possible as to what the budget will contain in this respect, The impression is growing that there will be a reduction in the duties on agricultural implements and the measure of this reduction is estimated at various figures. At present the average duty enjoyed by the industry is seventeen and a half per cent. It is considered probable that the government will reduce the duty to twelve and a half, or even ten per cent. A galaxy of Liberal spellbinders will appear in Hazelton on Tuesday evening next, when a public meeting is to be addressed by H. C. Brewster, former member for Alberni, who is the leader of the party in this province; by "Honest John" Oliver, the former leader, and by T. D. Pattullo, ex-mayor of PrinceRupert. The trio is on a pilgrimage through the district. BRITISH PREMIER TO TEST E RULE Asquith Takes Step Which Necessitates Appeal to His Constituents���By-Election to be Held within Two Weeks ���Officers Insist on Resigning London, Mar. 30:���A series of sensations in the House of Commons this afternoon in connection with the army crisis reached its climax with the announcement by Premier Asquith that he himself would assume the portfolio of secretary of war vacated by Colonel Seely today. He added that, as provided by the law, he would retire from the House of Commons until his constituents in East Fife re-elected him. The Premier's absence from Parliament will not last longer than two weeks. His election for the Scottish division he has represented ever since he entered Parliament is regarded as a foregone conclusion. The decision of the Premier was wholly unexpected. It momentarily overshadows the retirement of Colonel Seely, Field-Marshal French and Adjutant - General Ewart. Politicians, however, were brought back to the original cause of the ministerial crisis by the admissions of Viscount Mor- ley in the House of Lords, which confirmed many of the Unionist charges and gave the imforma- tion that Viscount Morley himself intended to retire from politics. "Colonel Seely's resignation has been accepted," was the expression employed by Premier Asquith in announcing in the House of Commons today, that his war secretary had paid the penalty of his indiscretion in adding to the cabinet document the two paragraphs which have aroused such feeling as to threaten the existence of the entire cabinet. Mr. Asquith made his promis ed statement on the army crisis. The Premier said: "After full consideration Field Marshal French and Adjutant- General Ewart have persisted in their desire to be relieved of their offices. In the public interest, I deeply deplore the decision of these gallant officers, and I cannot speak too warmly or gratefully of their ability, loyalty and devotion with which they have served the state and the army, and will, I hope, continue to serve." The Premier proceeded to tell the House that Colonel Seely had informed him, to his great regret, that he was bound to take course and resign from the secretaryship for war. Mr. Asquith then sprang his sensation on the House. He said: "In the circumstances and aft* er much consideration, I have felt it my duty to assume the office of secretary of state for war, although I have taken the step with the greatest reluctance in what I believe to be a great public emergency." Premier Asquith added that Sir John French and Sir John Ewart had asked him to say they were in entire accord with the statement he had made to the House of Commons on Friday. In announcing that King George had signified his approval of his assumption of the war portfolio, Mr. Asquith concluded: "1 have taken the law to the highest legal authorities to obtain their opinion, and all the lawyers are agreed that I must resign from the House of Commons. I, therefor, in accordance with the law, retire from the House until my constituents shall have given their approval to my acceptance of this office." Local and District News Notes H. W. Sharpe, of Kispiox, was' in town for a few days. R. W. Whaley, of Vancouver, is a visitor at Skeena Crossing. Geo. W. Wilson, of Los Angeles, was in Hazelton this week. Jas. A.

Athletic Association Dance on 13th The committee in charge of arrangements for the Athletic Association basket social and dance on April 13 has outlined an attractive program. The dance will start about 8 p.m., the concert numbers being interspersed between the dances. The sale of baskets will begin at 11:30, and dancing will continue after supper. No admission will be charged, everything being free except the baskets. These will be sold without any effort to disguise them, so those who wish to get the inside track should be prepared to identify the baskets they desire to buy. Invitations have been sent to the ladies of the district, but, aside from these, the dance is in no sense an invitation affair, all residents of Hazelton and district being welcome. St. Peter's Church Services will be held at 11a.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Good Friday. The evening service is arranged especially for the children. Lantern slides, illustrating the Story of the Passion, will be shown. Adults welcomed. A warm invitation is extended to all to participate in the services on Easter Sunday.

The hotels at Hazelton are are being renovated, in preparation for the increased business which spring always brings. Football is now attracting the attention of Hazelton's sport-loving citizens. Nineteen players turned out for practice last evening, and it is probable that this season's team will be quite as good as last year's speedy aggregation. George Milburn, a popular member of the staff of the Ha- zelton government office, has' been promoted to the position of government agent at Quesnel.; F. J. Hall is acting as senior! clerk, pro tern.

Recently a branch of the Overseas Club was formed in the settlement, its first entertainment being a smoking concert, held on St. Patrick's Day at the Rogers ranch. An enjoyable programme of songs and stories was concluded by the Canadian and British national songs. Uncha lake men have accomplished a great deal in the im- Trainloads of Wounded Mexicans Arrive From Battlefield of Torreon Chihuahua, Mexico, Mar. 30:��� Evidence of the severe fighting from which the rebels suffered at the hands of the Federals outside of Torreon, was brought here with the first trainloads of rebel wounded. Sixteen coaches filled with soldiers distressed with the ag-)ny of their wounds, wrapped in blankets and bent in all shapes, reached the city as the vanguard of a long line of wounded, scattered along the railroad, 300 miles outward. Among the wounded three lieutenant-colonels and twenty minor officers had arrived by night. They reported a total of 1,000 wounded on both sides, with an unknown number of dead. General Trinidad Rodri- gruez, probably fatally wounded, and General Maximo Garcia, seriously wounded, were left at the front. All accounts given by the men were that the Federals surprised General Villa, who, instead of frightening the Huerta forces on his approach, found the Torreon garrison entrenched and prepared to stubbornly resist. These accounts show that the first fighting resulted in a victory for the Federals and loss of courage among the rebels. After five days' fighting, Villa had failed not only to enter Torreon proper, but had not taken Gomez Palacio, a suburb.
