(Special to the Optimist) Winnipeg, July 12.���(Delayed in ransmission)���Sir Wilfrid Laurier ar- red here thia morning and was wel- rnied by thousands. The occasion was double fete, Sir Wilfrid and his party aveling on the first passenger train rer the Grand Trunk Pacific from urt William. The Premier appeared to ��in excellent health and chatted gaily his hotel with many personal ac- jaintances. It was a continuous recep tion, in fact, for all the time he was in the hotel. In the afternoon he was escorted around the city and noted with expressions of pleased surprise its growth and prosperity. He spoke of the coming world's fair in his conversation with the mayor and other officials, and said he had no doubt of its success as the hustling men of the west were of a character to command success in all their undertakings. The revised figures for the elections were handed to nim. These show the return of fourteen Liberals and twenty- seven Conservatives. Sir Wilfrid declined to express any opinion upon the result, smilingly observing that he desired to hear as little as possible of politics upon this western vacation he was taking. He had quite enough of politics at Ottawa.

LONDON HORRIFIED OVER INFAMOUS CRIME (Special to the Optimist) London, July 14.���Not since the infamous Whitechapel murders has London been so aroused and become so worked up as it was yesterday on the discovery of a body, believed to be that of Mrs. Howard Crippen, formerly a noted singer. Mrs. Crippen was lost to sight to her friends and neighbors last February, and upon the disappearance'of her husband, who is an American druggist, he was charged with her murder. The police in the course of their investigation into the mystrey, yesterday discovered two bodies in the dark cellers of an old house at Islington, which had Body of Noted Singer Suddenly Comes to Light. Her American Husband Charged With Murder Makes His Escape��� Leading Detectives of Europe and America Hunting for Him. been occupied by Crippen up to the time of his disappearance. Beneath the cement floor the Islington police came upon a body believed to be that of Mrs. Crippen. Decomposition had set in and the authorities were not able positively to establish identification. Nothing has been discovered as to the other body except it is that of a woman. Scores of detectives have been detailed on the case and the police of Europe and of all the leading American cities have been requested to arrest Crippen on sight. This action leads to the belief that there is definite information in the possession of the'police that Crippen did murder his wife and probably the other woman whose body was found on his premises. SIX HUNDRED ARE DROWNED TWO LARGE STEAMERS COME INTO COLLISION Accident Occurred Saturday at the Mouth of the Dneiper, and Official Statement is Now Made of the Number Lost in the Disaster. (Special to the Optimist) Odessa, July 14.���An official statement was issued this morning regarding the collision between the steamers Lovki and Wampos at the mouth of the Dneiper It states that the impact was so terrific that one of the boilers of the Lovki exploded, causing the vessel to sink immediately. The accident occurred on Saturday, and the report states that no less than six hundred passengers on the Lovki were drowned. BLIND PIGS SQUEAL Were Caught and Now Make Charges Against the Police A special meeting of the Police commissioners was held this morning for the purpose of discussing a number of charges made by some of the Comox blind pig men against the chief of police and staff. The commissioners believed the charges to be for the most part, of the usual class made by men whose sins have found them out. The blind pigs have been caught and are beginning to squeal. One particular charge will, however, be gone into thoroughly and particulars of it will appear later. A. FREDRICKSON WAS DROWNED BOAT CAPSIZED IN RIVER AND MAN WAS CARRIED AWAY Helping Two Other Men to Take Rails to Their Work���Led Boat Down Stream by a Rope���Boat Turned Sideways and Capsized. A few days ago the Optimist published a dispatch from A. L. McHugh's camp at mile 145, of the drowning of K. Fredrickson. The full particulars, as sent down by the contractor to Foley, Welch and Stewart, here, are given below: "Re K. Fredrickson the man who we wired you drowned today. Fredrickson was employed by a station gang here and was taking some rails to their work in a boat together with two other men of the same gang. The water was swift and the men were letting the boat down stream with a line attached to shore. Fredrickson was in the boat while his partners were on shore holding the rope. By an account given by the men, they were proceeding in this manner when the boat turned crosswise of the the river and instantly capsized, throwing Fredrickson into the water. He sank and was not seen again. His body has not yet been receovered. Paris, July 14���(Special)���A bill has been introduced in the chamber of deputies having, for its object the adoption of Greenwich time in France. It is intended for the special convenience of tourists and will undoubtedly be passed, as is everything tending to cater to the immense tourist trade. FALL OF FIVE THOUSAND FEET FIVE INTREPID AERONAUTS ARE DASHED TO PIECES Were Mangled Beyond Recognition��� Prince George of Saxony Makes Successful Trip in the Government Dirigible Parseval With Six People. (Special to the Optimist) Cologne, July 14.���Carrying five intrepid aeronauts to their death the new new dirigible Erbsloeh started from Dusseldorf this morning, with Pascheid, the constructor of the balloon, two of his friends after whom the dirigible was named and two mechanics in the basket. When at a height of five thousand feet the gas bag burst by expansion and the five men were dashed to destruction. Their bodies were mangled beyond recognition. Dresden, Jjily 14.���Prince George of Saxony made a successful trip yesterday in the famous government airship Parseval IV. He had six distinguished passengers and they were all safely landed at Bittersfield. WOMEN WIN SECOND ROUND SUFFRAGETTE BILL OBTAINS A LARGE MAJORITY Passed Second Reading With Over Hundred Votes to Spare���Russo- Japan Treaty as to Manchuria Bound to Start Big Rumpus. (Special to the Optimist) London,. July 14.���The galleries of the house of commons were crowded with women last night, as it was known the Women Suffrage bill would again come up for discussion. There was a long and at times acrid debate upon the leading features of the bill, the premier concisely showing that if women were given votes it must inevitably follow that they would have seats in parliament, and, as they largely outnumbered the male population of the British Isles, the government of the empire must in time come under their complete control. The vote upon the second reading of the bill was something of a surprise, there being two hundred and ninety- nine for it and but one hundred and ninety against. This was a serious defeat for the government, but it is hoped this result will be changed when the bill comes up for third reading and final passage. There was a great crowd ol suffragettes awaiting outside parliament for the result. They waited quietly and when the vote was announced there were cheers but no disorder. Compulsory Wireless London, July 14���(Special)���The bill making wireless telegraphy compulsory on all British ships carrying passengers has passed its first reading. Wire for Fort George Fort George will soon have a telephone service to Blackwater, giving the new town connection with the government Yukon telegraph line. London, July 14.���The text of the B'jsso-Japan treaty, which has just been made public, shows that the open door has been shut in Manchuria. England and the United States are likely to make a strong protest. The situation is emphasized by the fact that this morning the British government issued orders to augment the fleet in the Orient by the addition of the battleships Triumph and Swiftwater. Britain Will Protest London, July 14.���The British government is to make a strong official protest against the new immigration laws which went into force last May. This is made necessary by the representations of all sorts of organizations and individuals interested in emigration, who claim that the law is too arbitrary and works an injustice that under it Britains are shut out of British territory to which they are entitled to free entry.

STATEMENT BY THE POSTMASTER MIDWEEK BOAT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE Local Postoffice Well Equipped to Handle Mail Promptly on Arrival ���With Grand Trunk Steamers Carrying Mail, All Trouble Ends. So much has been said in depreciation of the mail service of Prince Rupert that a few facts in that regard cannot fail to be of public interest. The principal ground of complaint is as to the delivery of mail at this port, there being no mail steamer from the south between Monday and Friday evening. This, it is believed will shortly be remedied by the Grand Trunk Pacific boats getting a contract to carry mail. One of these boats, the Prince George, will begin the carrying of mail on her first trip, arriving here on the 24th, and with the Prince Rupert and the Prince George added to the mail carrying fleet much will have been done to remedy the present inadequacy of the service. Also, the Canadian Pacific is putting a new steamer on the Prince Rupert run, so very shortly there will be one or more mail steamers in every day unless they unfortunately bunch up occasionally. As to the local service Postmaster Mcintosh thinks it presents few points to kick at. There are eight clerks employed and whenever a mail boat comes in, no matter at what hour of the day or night, they are on deck and the mail is at once distributed. Of course the wickets have tl be closed during that time that the whole force may be engage distributing. It could not be otherwise. It would be foolish to ask at the wicket for a letter until all that mail has been thrown into the boxes, and the opening up of the wickets is the sign that the distribution is complete. "There is no ground for the kick that while the wickets are closed a few tourists might want to buy stamps,' says Mr. Mcintosh. " There is a notice put out that in the interim and. at all times stamps can be purchased at Little's, just half a block away. Also, the hotels should apply for a license to furnish their guests with stamps. It costs nothing bu t the tiny trouble of filling up a form of application. "When a steamer brings in four days of accumulated mail there is an average of eighty-five sacks of it, and this takes some time to distribute. The weekly mail is about 175 sacks in and 150 sacks out. "In the office there is now good accommodation for the handling of the mail matter. It has been improved and enlarged recently but of course will need further extension to keep pace with Prince Rupert's rapid growth. Last week there was put in a new mail rack, which will accommodate seventy sacks for those many different destinations. The former mail rack had only accommodation for twenty eight sacks. This is now used in the registered letter department. New sorting boxes for local mail have also to be added, and there is much to show that the postoffice department is at last waking up to the fact that Prince Rupert is quite a place, and now on it is likely to accede at once to all reasonable requests for the improvement of the service." Awakening of China Nanking, the old capital city of the Chinese Ming dynasty, on the Yangtsze River, is this summer inviting the nations to the inique spectacle, of a Chinese world's fair. The exposition opened on June 1 and will remain open for six months. This first "White City" in China will be a creditable imitation, though on a smaller seale, of the well- known expositions of Europe. Nanking has a larger inclosed area than even Peking, the walled circumference being twenty-five miles, says the American Review of Reviews. The exposition will occupy a space of 500 by 400 yards, and will be situated about half way between the outer wall and the center of the city, near the Sanpailo station of the Nanking City Railroad. The entire enterpirse has been generously conceived on modern lines, both in regard to architectural design and landscape features. HOTEL ARRIVALS. Premier Hotel E. L. Peck, Georgetown Robt.

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS NOW IMMENSE SUMS INVESTED IN CANADA BY AMERICANS In Consequence of Uncle Sam's High Tariff Millions Are Being Poured Into the Dominion��� Ready for Reciprocity. Detroit, July 12.���"The investment of United States capital in the Canadian provinces last year exceeded by $60,- 000,000 the bonded business between Canada and Great Britain," said James Simpson, president of the Board of Education of Toronto, who has been appointed a member of the Dominion Government Commission which will tour the world for a year seeking information to better Canada industrially. Mr. Simpson is representing the Toronto Star, with a delegation of fifteen city officials, investigating Detroit paving and the Detroit boulevard construction. "The investment of American capital in Canada last year was $226,000,- 000," he said. "It is just one indication of what Canada is doing to place herself alongside the leading nations of the world industrially. Our trip around the world is to the same end. We will investigate educational matters primarily, but with a view to bettering the vocational features of our educational system with special regard to the industries of specific provinces. "In Canada now the government has no direct control over the school system and the provincial schools are away behind other countries in the practical training which they give. It is by special request of the provincial school authorities that this commission has been appointed. There are eight men on the commission and we are given a little more than a year for investigation before making our report. "The investment of American capital in Canada in past years has been largely in branch factories of the large American corporations, but last year a big increase was due to the Cobablt development. The American money invested in Canada last year is due to the American tariff. Canada has profited largely by the retaliatory duty, but Canada now is ready to tear down the barriers on both sides for free competition. The tendency on both sides seems to be a better trade relation reached by a reduction of duty." There is nothing like the oil of good temper to keep things from getting into knots and for making them run smoothly. SAMUEL MAY&CO, BILLIARD TABLE MANUFACTURERS. fstablished Forty Years.

Kinman's Bonded Property Shows High Grade In Prospect Shaft- Prospectors Who Are Doing Their Assessment Work on Hill Claims. With the summer's development work on Fourmile hill now under full swing an immense improvement is being shown on the prospects that had a little work done last year, and some fine ore is being found on claims on which the first assessment is now being worked. The Herald man went over a part of the hill one day this week and inspected some of the showings. On the Attridge property, under bond to E. L. Kinman, of Vancouver, a prospect shaft is being sunk and the high grade streak of ore is widening with every shot. The vein is about four feet wide with well defined walls. The claims owned by Jas. Dyer of Rossland and Tom Stevenson are looking well. On one of them, an extension of the Attridge claim, a shaft is being put down. The vein is about the same width as on the latter property and the ore is much the same in appearance. On another claim, on the north side of the hill, they have a good showing of galena ore, but no work has been done beyond surface stripping. D. L. Purvis is finding fine-looking galena, but hasn't enough work done to indicate the value of the property. Other prospectors are performing assessment work, Jas. Smith of Rossland among the number. Their claims were not visited but they were reported to be engaged in surface work. With the exception of the bluffs facing Bulkley valley, the whole hill is covered with earth from two to eight feet deep, and a great deal of work is required in tracing the leads. It is only about fourteen months since the first claim was staked and but little work was done last season, consequently the greater part of the hill is practically untouched. Fourmile hill lies close to the railway line. From the top of the hill the partially completed grade appears to be not much more than a mile distant. The elevation is from 1200 to 1500 feet above the Bulkley river.���Omineca Herald. No Council Meeting The council will not meet tonight.

Grant, manager of construction of the Portland Canal Short Line Railway now under construction between Stewart and the various mining camps, is at the Hotel Vancouver. He has just returned from Toronto where he has been confering with Mr. Donald D. Mann, the principal promoter of the enterprise. Mr. Grant will leave for the North tonight. Mr. Grant feels confident that the fifteen-mile railway will be completed before next fall, enabling the various companies to get in supplies for the winter season, thus ensuring mining operations being carried on throughout the winter months. The Belle of Scotland a steamer laden with rails for the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Portland Canal road, is expected to reach Prince Rupert this week. There she will unload a portion of her cargo before proceeding to Stewart. The vessel sailed from Sydney, Cape Breton, several months ago, voyaging via Cape Horn. A large portion of the equipment for the mineral railway, including two engines, has reached Vancouver. It will be shipped north as soon as a few miles of track shall have been laid. Mr. Grant arrived at this city on the Prince Rupert this morning and corroborated the above dispatch. He continued his journey to Stewart, where he will remain all summer in active charge of the construction of the road. PERSONAL G. A.

LOST TRYING TO SAVE HIS WIFE SEATTLE CONTRACTOR DROWNED IN JERVIS INLET. ' DAVID HARUM " TO-NIGHT. Bill of Brandon'* Players in the Empress Theatre Were on Pleasure Tour in Launch��� Small Boat Caught in Whirlpool By Tide���Parties Now Searching For the Husband's Remains (Special to the Optimist) Vancouver, July 14.���W. S. Wiley, one of the leading contractors of Seattle, and his wile, were drowned Monday in Jervis Inlet, where they had been on a pleasure tour in a launch. Nothing was heard of the occurrence until yesterday when the launch being overdue enquiries were instituted. Itt ranspires that the two had left the launch, and in the small boat had gone up a creek to fish. While they were absorbed in the sport the tide crept up and the boat was caught in a whirlpool caused by the rising tide. It swirled them around and was in a few moments capsized. Wiley seized his wife and the two were carried down stream. The body of the woman was found washed up on the bank and it is assumed she was carried near there by Mr. Wiley who at the time was exhausted and drowned. Search is now being made for his body; that of Mrs. Wiley was brought here. last night and their family in Seattle notified. Mr. Wiley was head of a firm which is one of the largest of the country in the line of municipal improvements and similar work. It has now nearly completed the immense work of removing Denny Hid and regrading it. The firm also has under way the remaking of the ground used for the World's fair at Portland, Oregon, which embraces the tearing down of a mountain and the filling in of a lake that is eight miles long. Mr. Wiley was a man of about 40, in the full vigor of robust manhood, and took a deep interest in public and church affairs. Caterpillars Kill Grass ��� The fine grass plot in front of the Government buildings, the pride of Prince Rupert, is being eaten away by a plague of caterpillers. Thus the pests of civilization and urban worries are all coming to the new city. The Amateur Contest at the Empress Theatre on Friday night promises to be a hummer. The person who is between the devil and the deep blue sea is due to give his Satanic majesty some exercise. Brandon's Players made the biggest hit during their stay at the Empress theatre last night in "Cousin Kate." "Kate" and "Polly Primrose" are undoubtedly the parts in which Miss Russell excels. While there were only six in the cast of "Cousin Kate" they succeeded in producing more laughs than any other play by far. Tonight another big treat is promised, namely 'David Harum,' wilth Carl Caldwell, who followed William H. Crane in in the title role. The novel ' David Harum' is from the pen of Owen Wister, author of 'The Virginian.' It is a typical rural comedy of York state folks, and the character of David Harum' the banker and horse trader is the most homely ever pictured. He is the kind who would rather make ten dollars on a horse trade than one hundred dollars in his bank, but his quiet humor and big generous heart makes him a most loaveable character. The dramatization has followed the book very closely and it will be given an excellent sceenic production by the Brandons. Another production which the lovers of melodrama are looking forward to is "Jesse James" on Saturday night, when a drama founded on incidents in the life of the greatest of all outlaws will be given. "Do unto other people the way they would like to do to you and do iffirst."
