Paris, Nov. 15.��� The court of cassation yesterday examined Generals Zurlinden and Chanoine, wbo recently successively resigned the portfolio of minister of war, aud it is said that their evidence was highly important in upholding the attitude tbey have held throughout that Dreyfus is guilty aud that a communication of Ihe secret, dossier would compromise the safety of state and the good relations of Franco wilh foreign nations. Gen, Zurlinden who is now governor of Paris, has decided, it is reported, to send Lt.-Col. Picquart before a court | martial on a charge of having com- inuuloated to his counsel, M. Lebois, a chapter of the Dreyfus dossier containing the letter about "that canille," since known to bo a forgery through the confession of the late Colonel Henri. CAUSED AN UPROAR. Paris, Nov.

Ou July 1!), 18117. the dHiOUdanl and thc other owners of the claim entered into an agreement to sell it for $80,000, and the sale having been completed the plaintiff sued fo recover his share,one sixlli of tbe pur- "hase money. The defendant resisted payment nn the ground that after tbe agreement* the plaintiff allowed his free miners' certifloate (o lapse, aud therefore, by section nine of tbo mineral act, the interest of the plaintiff in the mineral claim and his share of iim purchase money vested iu the defendant, At the trial Mr. Justice II ving gave judgment of non-suit. The plaintiff appealed and the lull court have nnw allowed his appeal with costs, holding thai there was a distinction between the purchase money and the olalm itself, Ibe hitter only being covered by section nine. FIGHTING THE CUSTOMS. J. C. Fraser, of Rossland, Welcomed Home. J. S. 0. Fraser, manager of tbo Bank of Montreal at Rossland, who for the oast month has beeu laid up at. the Halcyon Hot Springs suffering from inflammatory rheumatism, returned home yesterday morning, and was given a most hearty reception. A delegation of his friends, headed by tho Hon. O, H. Mackintosh, Mayor Wallace and Ross Thompson, met him at the station, and, with a band in attendance, escorted him to a carriage which was waiting for him. On reaching tlie Allan House, Mr. Eraser thanked his friends in a few suitable words, aud, after they had drunk his health, thc company dispersed. In reference tn lhe dispute between George Hermann i& On., nf San Francisco and lhe local customs authorities, mentioned in yesterday's issue, Mr. Harron, representing the San Francisco firm, yesterday informed a Miner representative that, acting under legal advice, he was about to sue the Canadian customs authorities for heavy damages, but thai tbo differences between tbe linn and their Kelson customers had been amicably settled.

HE WAS FORCED TO OBEY The Empress Dowager Will Held a Eeoep- tion of the Ladies of the Diplomatic Body. Pekin, Nov. lii ���Li Hung Chang has memorialized the dowager empress begging to be excused from the appointment to consult with the viceroy of the province of Sluing Tung as to iho steps to he taken fo prevent auy further overflowing of the Yellow river, pleading age's infirmity as his excuse. Ho had a special audience on the subject with the dowager empress today, aud the latter, while thanking him for his services to the throne, requested the Chinese statesman to pro- cei tl to tho Yellow rivor without d,lay. In snmc quarters it is believed Li Hung Cliaug'n appointment is due to ilie ennui;*,- of Yung Lu. who replaced Li Hop;: Chang iu the Tsuug Li Yamen early in September, and to tbe animosity ul' Kung Vi, ihe head of the council of Stale. On the occasion of her birthday, the empress dowager will receive the ladies bt tbo diplomatic body in accordance witb a promise which sho made to Prince Henry of Prussia. THE COPPER SITUATION. Tlie Strong Position of the Metal At ^-acting Attention of Speculators James Lewis & Sou's mouthly report en ores and minerals dated Liverpool, Sov, 1, gives tho following resume of the copper situation : Tho critical political and financial position has failed to exercise any ad- verso influence on the value of copper during tl.e past mouth, and Standard lias gradually advanced from ��52 10s io ��64 liis.0d.,temporarily falling hack from ��511 2s.(id. to ��52 15s. botween the 10th and Uith, and from ��uil los to .�����58 2s.

Tho closing value is ��5-1 8s. 0d. for cash and ��54 16s. for threo months' prompt, nfter payment of ��54 17s. Ud. for 14 days and ��55 2s. (id. for three months' prompt earlier in tbe day. The stroug statistical position of tbis metal is beginning to attract the intention of speculators as well as eon- sinners, and transactions in warrants havo recently been on a largo scale. The publio stocks continue to rapidly diminish, and are uow 0007 tons���or nearly 25 per cent.���less than ou tho lst January, while shipments from Iho Uuired States are still on a re ilnced scale, the market there beiug very firm in view of the small stocks bold by the Lake companies, and the early closing of file lake navigation. Consumption both in Europe and America is exceptionally large, and promises to continue so for some time lo come, considerably exceeding the supplies, which show no corresponding increase. Whereas tbet imports into England and France to date this vear have exceeded Ihose nf last year by 5500 tons, tho deliveries havo increased 1(1,7(15 tons. lOleelrnlytie Copper is only obtainable for forward delivery, aud even for that I.ul little is available.

THE BODY FOUND. The Remains of W, B. MacPhorson Found iu tbe Mountains. A telegram was received in tbe eity yesterday evening from Mr. G. B. MacPhorson slating that a body supposed to be that of W. B. MacPhorson, his brother, whose mysterious disappearance was reported in The Miner, liad been found near the sixth siding on the Crow's Nest Pass railway. The government agent at Nelsou was notified to bavo an undertaker prepare to leave with a cofllu on Hie first steamer via Kuskonook. A later telegram was received cancelling the previous one and stating that, the body would be taken east to Montreal today as it had been identified as that ot the missing man. The mott likely theory of the sad occurrence i i that the deceased wandered away from camp and was lost iu the mountains and perished of the cold. Philippines. SPANIARDS OBSTINATE It is Said That the Spanish Government is in Acoot d With the Peace Commissioners in this Attitude- Madrid, Nov. 15.���According to semi-official statements,"tho Spanish peace commissioners will maintain their present attitudo in regard to the Philippine islands and will certainly not accept the propositions of the United States. Further, if tho discussion does not re!urn to the limits of the protocol, as viewed by the Spaniards, the Spanish commissioners have decided not to sign a treaty of peace. It is also learned from the same sources that complete accord prevails betweeu the Spanish government and its peace commissioners. WILL NOT BE PUT OFF. Washington, Nov. 15.���Tho government has renewed and strengthened its determination that the Spanish evacuation of Cuba and the American occupation shall not be deferred beyond January 1 noxt. This conclusion has been communicated to the Spanish government within tho laat few days in answer to au urgout request thnt the date of the evaouatiou bo put off because the large number of Spanish troops remaining ou the island which, it was represented, could not bo moved before January 1. Not beiug a subect which could bo treated by the commission, rs nt Paris or at. Havana, the ro- (|i^ib.'*',,'jn fi'Vwardcd m Wt'.siiingt'iii through the French embassy, which received also and forwarded by cable the refusal of the government to put off the date of assuming American control. DON CARLOS' LOAN. Madrid, Nov. 15.*��� The Imparcial commenting ou the loan which Don Carlos, tho pretender to the Spanish throne, is said to have raised in London, says: "Evidently the English are Jabetting an outbreak of civil war in Spain, witb the object of leouriug additional territory in Gibraltar." Tho Imparcial adds: "The Americans employed the same methods to become masters of Cuba." ' IF SPAIN REFUSE. San Francisco,Nov. 15.���Major General Merritt is qnoted as saying it "would not surprise me to see negotiations between tho United States and Spain broken off. If the work of thc commission proves fruitless it means a renewal of the war. If Spain refuses to accede to further demands it will show she has secured substantial hope of assistance or Eurcpean intervention. It is said Germany may take a hand in this matter, England will follow suit and then look for France to put ber finger in the pie. " SPAIN MAY ASK A PRICE. Washington, Nov. 15.���The officials of the state department do not expect that tomorrow's meeting of the peace commissioners in Pairs will be tho last. Ou the other hand it in not ex dected that the Spaniards will come with unconditional acceptance of our last demand. Still substantial progress may be regarded as having been achieved if tho Spaniards show a (lis position to discuss in any phase the position of thn Philippines to the United States, even iu conuecfiun with a money Indemnity, The amount uf that indemnity after all, it is believed, will be the principal point of difference between the two sides. Inquiry has been mado into the char actor of tho projectors of the remarkable syndicate scheme for the purchase of tho Philippines for a sum of fr 100, - 000,000. The result has been to show that thoy ore responsible parties ami it is scarcely to he doubted that tbe projoet has been put forward as a means of enhancing the nrioe whieh the Spaniards may demand for the relinquishment of the Philippines, In other words, tho Spaniards might claim justification for demanding a sum as largo as $200,000,000 if tbey could point to the fact that a syndicate stood ready to pay double that price for the islands.

Washington, Nov. 15.���Great pressure is beiug brought to bear on the war department to bave the volunteer troops now in the Philippines returned to this country. Nearly every state having troops stationed at Manila has asked through its governor or through representatives iu oongress that these troops be sent liome. This pressure (tomes through relatives and frieuds of the volunteers aud was started by tbe troops who have been writing homo. Some of theso letters published iu slates papers at tho homes of enlisted men have created a wave of sympathy for the volunteers iu the far east. While they do uot recount very great hardships, excopt amoug those "who are ill, they do show that life is vory obnoxious and tlie duty of policing in the city of Manila and remaining inactive is very disagreeable It is said at the war department that thero is no way of relieving the troops from duty ia the Philippines at the present time. Tlie uncertain conditions that exist in the island of Luzon make it utterly impossible to get along with a smaller number than is stationed thore at present. Gen, Otis lias been askod by cable if troops could bo Bpared and has replied iu tlie negative. RECIPROCITY. The Sub-Committee Hurd at Work -on the Schedules. Toronto, Nov. 15.���The Globe's spocial correspondent at Washington wires: The reciprocity sub-committee is hard at work on the draft of schedules submitted on bohnlf of both countries. Mr. Clarke Wallace is here, representing the Canadian manufacturer's association, and had an interview with Sir Richard Cartwright yesterday morning. It was au agreeable conversation, but not as far as the work of the commission is concerned. Some little ray of light may bo shed upon the proceedings at New York tonight, when Lord Hersoholl and Mr. Kasson, American commissioner of reciprocity,speak at the Chamber of Commerce banquet.

Last week a number of meu at Sandon said to have their disposition to liceuse developed by long residence iu tbe Coeur d'Alenes country,where violence frequently sets tbe law at defiance, undertook to introduce westeru states methods into this proviuce. Rounding up a lot of Ohiumen, they drove them out of town, severely maltreating some of them it is said. It is highly prohable that the men who engaged in this outrage will have a taste of British justice that will uot be palatable. They come from a country whereiu all men are declared by the constitution to be free and equal, but where brutality has overridden that well-meaning injunction and rendered it as naught They are in a country that makes no boast about freedom aud equality, but wo fancy that the meaning of these terms will be forcibly impressed upon tbem. It doos not matter who the man is who becomes a deui zen of this country, whether China man, Japuuese, Hindoo or Mohamma dan, yellow, red or black, the law stands between him nud violence and ensures him tlie same considerate treatment as auy white man cau claim, and authority based ou tlie law will exert itself to the utmost to protect him from cruelty or wroug at the bands of anyone. Lawless men from the states have no rights of domicile here auy more than a Chiuamau or other foreigner has, so long as he defers to the law of the land, aud should they undertake to drive out auyone whom they do not like they commit a crime for which aud law provides penalties tbat will be enacted to the letter. Reckless characters who have made the Coeur d'Aiene miuing couutry a hell upon earth, who have resorted to assassination, wbo have murdered from ambush mine owuers aud mine superintendents, who have not hesitated to shoot and to slay fellow white men and to destroy their property with dynamite, must leave their evil uatures behind them when they eome to this country. If they do not and engage ia violence here to eveu so insignificant an object as a Chinaman, they will find tbat the law which is a dead letter in the region whence they came, is here strong and relentless in pursuit of an offender. There must be no violence of this kind hero, and if anyone engage iu it he is oertaiu to bo put away for a few years penitentiary reflection. We have enough confidence in the courage of judges and jurieB iu British Columbia or in any part of Cauada, to know that they will not suffer auyone to be subject to outrago, as these Chinamen have been, without makiug it extremely unpleasant for thoso responsible. To rough lriiuds this may be a commendable way to deal with the Chinese evil, but it is utterly foreigu to British ideas of right, aud it is upou those Ideas that tlie province will be governed or it will not be governed at all. ience by auyono, and supplies can bo had in plenty. The hardships encountered by early miners are never heard of and to be on this ground is fortune. There is no similar auriferous region anywhere else in the world, it is safe to say, nnd prospecting and mining in this region have become very important aud profitable businesses. Hitherto the country has been free to all without regard to nationality. Men from all parts have goue iu there, secured claims, either sold them or washed theni up and departed with their wealth, withoot the country being oue dollar the richer. It is tbo fashiou to denouuee the Chinese for making money here and taking it out of the country, whereby no one save themselves benefit. There is little difference between the methodB of Chinameu and those of the foreiguers who go iu to the gold fields to secure all the gold they can and carry it away to foreign countries. The question arises should not Canada profit by her inestimable wealth in placer deposits, the like of which are not presented anywhere? Shonld we not take a lesson from the Americans and reserve these gold fleldB for ourselves and other British subjects? Should we permit all this wealth to go out of the country and forever away from us, as we have been doing ? These are questions that are most pertinent at this time and the Victoria Colonist in declaring for restrictions which will give tlie benefits of the placer country to British subjects only, takes a position that will commend itself to every one who has marked tbe unsatisfactory effects of the present policy.

"British Columbia ought to retain her placer mines for Biitinh Bubjects," says the Victoria Colonist aud there is much in the utterance to commend it to the atteution of parliament. The time was when prospecting and mining were businesses fraught with bo much hardships that those engaged in them were considered fully entitled to all they found. The gold that they sought was usually in regioiiB difficult of access and never in such quantities to more thuu reward tlie tinder fer his trouble. Therefore no restrictions to speak of were put upon plcacer miners and men from all parts of the world could engage in it without question, though it was looked upon as u vory haphazard way of makiug a livelihood. But all this lias changed reoeutly. It has been found that there are large areas of exceedingly ricli placer ground i.i the northern part of this province aud discoveries are rapidly extending. They an so easy of access that the jour- Bey can be mado without lucouven- COMMUNICATIONS. MR. THOMPSON'S DISMISSAL. Editor Daily Miner, Sir:���I had not intended writing anything re Mr. Thompson's reported dismissal but his friends keep up such a roaring that it is necessary for some one on our side of the fence fti speak so that the publio may not be misled. The facts are that the recordership bere was vaoaut and the government very wisely preferred to fill it with a friend rather than a political enemy. Mr. Thompson's services as clerk were then unnecessary and were done away with. Had the government chosen to appoint Mr. Thompson they would have loft the support of their party bere, and the percentage of the other Bide they would have won over would have been very small. Some politicians here seem to hnve obtained a bad stomach-ache as a result of last summer's election, and they are ready in their sinking condition, to grasp at every straw that comes along, borne claim tliat it is not this aiiuir at all that is irritating them, but thut they fancy they cau discern 11 "nigger" somewhere in the brush. Their public meeting was a flat failure. Those present \Vere asked not to voto ou Mr. Kerr's motion,as to vote for or against it would imply that Thompson had been tired unfairly. As a result ouly uineteen voted out of au attondauce of bplween 50 and Gu. These were reported as 14 foi and five against. One of their party stated at the publio meeting that the officials hore were so polite that you could get more information from them iu half a minute than you oould get ut auy of the otber Kootenay offices in uu hour. I know the statement is uot true iu regard to this office, but if it be true tbat they are more courteous here than in other offices, I hope the Lord will be merciful to the poor fellows who have to deal at those other offices. If these parties had always received civil treatment they would have accepted such treatment from Thompson us a matter- of-course aud not made such a howl about ie. I would say to the government, fire every official who bus not common-sense enough to treat the public civilly. Yours truly, JOSEPH IRWIN. New Denver, Nov. 14, 1898. THE JANE COOMBS CO..

A Miuer representative yesterday had a talk with Mr. Ewart, the architect who has designed the new theatre which the Allen Bros, are building ou the comer of Victoria and Ward streets, and, while not large, the building seems admirably calculated to fulfill the purposes for which it is being erected. The building, the lower part of whieh will bo occupied by stores, has a 50 foot frontage, and a depth of 78 feet. Tho stage, which will bo amply large enough to accommodate auy company likely to come here for some years yot, will be 25 feet by 48, tho prosjeniuui arch beiug 22x1(1. Tho desigu also provides for six dressing rooms, two of which opon off the stage, and also two lavatories. The stage will bo fully equipped with trap doors, aud electric light plugs. Oue of the traps is made especially lurge to admit of scenery, aud other large stage proportios, beiug hoisted through instead of being brought through the Auditorium. Tho height from the stage to the gridiron is 88 feet, which will allow of the sconery being hoisted up. The auditorium which will havo a level floor to permit of dunces beiug held in it. will be 48 feet by 42, and is calculated to sent 400 poople comfortably. Tho gallery which will run around threo sides of the auditorium, is designed to sout 800 people, and will be fitted with opera chairs. The niuiu entrance to the theatre will open on Ward street, hut thero will also be a large stage ontrauce, five feet wide, opening on Victoria street. The building, which will be fnime built of the most substantial character, will be supported on a stone foundation. It will bo lighted by electric light, aud heated hy hot air. Thore will also be a cloakroom ou oither sido of the uu.iu entrance for the conveuieuco of f.t'.eBts at dauces, entertainments to which thu building is peculiarly adapted. Tho basement will be occupied by threo stores. Two of which will open on Victoriu street, aud tho other ou Ward street. Tho dimensions of the two stores fronting on Viotoriu will be 18 feet frontage by 48, and that on Ward street 20 by 48. The work on tho building is being pushed, and while it is yet impossible to fix the tlie dute of its completion, it is hoped that no long timo will elapse beforo Nelson has a theatre worthy of the town iu whicli it is situated. A Copper Metallic Wire Direct From Nelsou to San Francisco. The Inland Telephone and Telegraph compauy has completed its copper metallic circuit between Nelson and Han Francisco, the connection being com ��� pleted yesterday By the courtesy of Mr. G. C. Hodge, district superintendent of the company,a Miner ropreseu tative was enabled ' to hold the first regulur conversations held over the wires betweeu Nelsou and Portland, exchanging greetings with Mr. F. O. Millard, the district superintendent at Portlaud, Oregon, and with the re presentative of the Oregonian. Spokano wus then rung np, and the editor of the Spokesman Reviow sent his compliments to the people of Nelson, and to the Miner," saying that such au easy means of communication was cause for congratulation to both cities, and inquiring about the latest happenings in Nelson. The new line, wliich is a No. 10, B. & S. hard drawn coppor metallic wire, works very successfully, and the conversation with Portland, although the speakers were 800 miles apart, was carried on without difficulty. A subsequent conversation with San Francisco oflice was uot so satisfactory owiug to a thunder storm whicli was ragiug in California at the time. The British Columbia end of the line is operated by the Canada Western Telephone and Tolegraph company, which connects with the Inland Telephone company at the boundary liue. Constable J. E. Agnes, of the North West Mounted Police in the Ciow's Nest Pass District is now a cripple for life. .Some weeks ago he was complaining of a swelling in his left heel but paid little if nny attention to it. It kept gradually getting worse, however, until finally it became neccessary to remove him to the mounted police hos- at McLeod, A few days ago it was found necessary to amputate the foot in oider to save his life, which was done.

Arthur returned Mouday night from Brooklyn where he had been holding an inquest on the body of Andrew Carlson, whose body was found last Sunday hanging from a tree between tin lake and Corykendale's camp. It appears from the evidenco adduced that Carlson had been despondent for some time, thinking that everybody was down on him aud circulating stories calculated to do him harm. On Saturday night he left the camp, aud was never seen alive agaiu. The body was found banging from a brauch barely four feet from the ground. Tho heels were resting on the grouud, and tho body only a fow iuches above it. An examination revealed the fuct, that the unfortunate man had torn a large handkerchief into strips, knotted the strips iuto a rope, and endeavored to hang himself with it. The improvised rope broke, so the suicido took off his leather sos- Jobn Gibson has succeeded in acquiring some miniature bagpipes. He is now the happiest man in town.

For lo* �� had wrilton it within my heart. rrh' incoming tide, with iin incessant flood, Dashed o'er the letters, leaving level Band. But as the expended foam crept Blowly buck Into the Ht'othinjf waves it bore her name And mingled it forever with tlie Hurge. Tho billows murmur it along the shore, The wild waves echo it in every beat, The tempest shrieks it 'ncath the midnight sky, While jealous mermaids wonder whence li came, Aud Boamewa, as they sport upon the waves, Hear it and call their matos by that sweet name, Aud I forever hear within my heart The murmur uf her namo borne from the sea. ���J. K. I., in Chambers' Journal. NELSON MAEKETS. AMID ROMANCE. The fact that he wm ���rtt'.l-n-g a bicycle Ihould havo kept him to remembering that ho was not living ln au age fit romance but he forgot it, and to livo ln the midst of a mutter of fact world nnd forget that lt is such Is what makes most of tho trage dies of that world. There woro oxouses for him, of course ���the first thnt bo was young; tho second that he was care free, and the lust nnd, as the nursery rhyme has it, tho best that ho hod come from tho early spring of New York to that of southern California. Ho had ridden through willow paths along the gravel roads that a month before had been tho bed of tho Hue Gabriel. He hud crossed the shallow gleaming branches of the stream time and again. Ho had loomed from tho green swell of tho divide over tw green a valley, where wild flowers were thick on the ground and where peach and almond trees made pink and white patches. Just across the valley tho mountains were half covered with snow, but the air wus warm from the sea and the sky was bright blue. So there was excuse for his forgetting tho bicycle and thinking the world a place for romance. A plnco for romance, but there can be none without a woman, and there was no woman. He coasted down the Incline of the dl- Tide and made for tho Monte road by tree bordered byways and paths. There was not a tluke of dust in the splendid uir. All kinds of picturesque, old world things ought to happen. In a garden of tills sort man ought certainly not to be alone. Some nymph should oome dripping and glittering out of the /.unj.'i, somo slender figure Bhould push its way through the high, green burley und the fluffy branches of tho peppers and stand beside him. He forgot tho barbed wire fence between tho barley field und thc road, the grasses and flowering weeds and tho peppers hid it, but tho tsanja rippled nnd purled on, the barley waved In the wind from tho sea, and lhe sun gleamed ou an uninhabited world. Then a bell rang out just ahead by the roadside, and the silence of the spring high noon was filled with tho voices of children and young girls. 'The woman entered the garden. Sho wns neither nymph of the znnjn nor sprite of the Held, only n black gowned schoolgirl, who stood on the schoolhoufio steps und waved u liandkcrehiel at the passing tourist. Tlie tourist wns u man und young, which wus ull the schuolgirl cured about. The girl was pretty und willowy, which wus till the man cured about. Ho raised his cap und motioned to a clump of trees down the highway. Of courso she would understand. It wjls all a part of the ro* mance and tlio eountry, and sho understood. She left the calling, screaming children and her older companions and strolled toward where he sat on tho grass undia' the trees. It was out of sight of the schoolhouse. Ho watched her black, lithe iigm-e moving through tlie flecked sunshine tliat ciuno iu through the plumy branches of the peppers. They were all alono in thu midst of spring and the garden, birds were singing from the earth, thu sun was shining from the sky and tho soft wind blew from the sen beyond tho Valley. Tlie simwy mountains were fur away, and the world on tho other sido of theni yet further. Her nume. she said- was Alicia. How sweet tho sound of tho vowels, how different tho stern Xelson to which ho had to confess! liut even ihat was pretty when she said it. How old was sho? She waa 16. The heroines of the poets were that age. Whero did she live? Some vague way over thoro among thc puik blossoms. He remembered that whoa he was u chlftl those questions had always begun an acquaintance: "What is your name? How old ure you? Whero do you live?" All the wisdom he hnd .accumulated In thu years between then and now had vanished. Ho did not want it. He forgot that ho had meant tu roach tho hotel of the valley by lunelieun time. Ho wns not hungry, but Alicia was. Sho put hei plump brown hand into her pocket and brought out a newspaper roll. Insido of thc puper thero were a tortilla aud boiled meat. Shu ute these while sho talked to him, und when she had linished sho started to draw the buck of her wrist across hei mouth, but remembering the teachings of school und tl.e presence of thu foreign young man shu look out hur handkerchief. He had meant In ask for that handkerchief, the white signal which hud fluttered ln the uir, but he suw that it was grimy aud Ink spotted. So he aakod for the wire ring she wore Instead. Alicia parted witb It us though it hail been very precious. Then she brushed the crumbs from her black frook and stood up "I must go now," she suid, with an accent that kepi the words [rum being ooinmonplaoe. "First toll mu whero you live," he asked. She pointed over to tho patch of feathery pink, "ln the white house in them trues." "What is your lather's namo?" "Mateo Maiuelo," sl.eanswered, wind lng ono of her heavy braids around her hand "1 will eome to seo you tonight," hu told her. "Yes. "'she murmured, with musical in difference, as she went, leisurely up the pathway and never onco looked book. Tiiu mun rode on lo tliu hotol and returned to real life us he tusked if a valise and a trunk hud eome unii if there wcru any letters for Nelson Cameron. There was one After he hud had his luncheon he sut on tho long piazza, from which tho snow cupped mountains could be seen tltrough tho climbing roses, und read it, but tho letter wus dull, und the memory of the brown hair and eyes thut had al way*, seemed tho most bcuutiful in tliu World puled beside that of two soft, black braids uud two orbs as soft nnd as black. There wns avuguu promise thut tho owner of thc browu huir and eyes might bo in California, too, ere' long. Cameron was not so pleased as ho tried to think he was. He begun to imugiuo the meeting of that nig!:t lt camo about. Old Mnnzclo and his fat. black wrapped wife did not object to him ln the least Ho walked for hours up And down thu moonlit road with Aliclu's jbaud lu his and went trum her���* lord [Continued.! Hi^'i Handed Methods uf a Number uf Lawless Meu. A gentleman who lias recently re- turued from a trip through the Slocan, iiiii rmed a Miner reporter yesterday, tlmt a great deal of feeling had been aroused in tha Slocan by the expulsion of the Chinese in the mines. The facts, bo far us he had heen ablo to ascertain, w ere us follows : A number of miners got together and decided to drive tho Chinese out. A committee, accordingly, went to tho mines and rounded up the Chinamen to tlie number of five, marched thom into Sauilon where they tnrned tliem over to another committee, who found them beds for the night and ordered them to leave town in the morning. Throe of tliem did so, but two returned to their jobs. One of these wns employed at the Payne mine, and, when a deputation came to turn him out* a secoud time, the manager stood in the cabin dcor, gun in hand, and refused to give him up. Public opinion in the Slocan, onr informant went on, was strongly opposed to the action of tbe miners, not because anybody liked Chinese, or approved of Chinese labor, but because of the lawlessness of tho methods employed. It was also freely asserted that the miners in question were n comparatively small clique of Coeur d'Aleners, who had caused trouble iu their own country, and were now trying to run this. The Chiuese in question were employed as cooks aud dishwashers, not as miners. It is reported that several arrests will take place in consequence of the action takon by these miners. 1 ISO A NEAT TRAP. (Continued From Yostorday.) try to rob the name. They have got all the tools they need, and today I found a satchel to put the mopey in." "So you think they are bank robbers?" was asked. "I am sure of it. Last night they were ln the back room till 11 o'clock, and they would uot let me go ln thore today. I guess they have cut a hole in the floor." For three months after the bank opened a watchman had been kept inside. Then some one growled at the expense, and ho was chnnged to the outside and given the whole block to patrol. For a minute or two, as Uncle Billy looked so confident, the president wondered if there was not something in it. Then he felt amused at the idea and said: "Well, Uncle Billy, you are our burglar catcher, you know. Perhaps you'd better sleep in the bank here for n few nights." "I'll do it, and I'll catch burglars, tool" exclaimed the delighted old man. It wus arranged that he should be left ln the bunk at night, and he wns given nn unloaded doublo barreled shotgun for a weapon and received many cautions. To give you a fair idea of what the robbers wero after I must explain that the safe, which stood outside the vault, was only for day use. At the close of business each day everything wus deposited in the vault, which wus of brick, with a heavy iron door, and supposed to be burglar proof. As Uncle Billy couldn't got Into the vault and no burglar inside could get out, the bank people laughed as tbey asked each other how ho was going to work it to capture anybody. Further, he was to be locked in the bank, with no way of getting out. On the second night of Uncle Billy's guardianship something happeued which Parkvllle Ib talking about yet. That day the firm of White & Gregg drew out their deposit, claiming they were going to buy a farm. That night at 10 o'clock, while Unole Billy was taking a smoke on his cot near the vault before going to sleep, he heard suspicious sounds in the vault. He listened and listened again and after a few minutes was satisfied that robbers wore within. They could have got there only through a hole cut through the floor of the office above. The old man was not a bit rattled. He had been appointed burglar catcher to the bank, and horo were the burglars. His idea was to catch them Instead of driving them off. It was a lucky thing for the First National that one of the officials with a key to the front door had left lt lying on a table. Uncle Billy saw it as he wondered how he would get out on the street. Ho saw tho night watchman down at the end of the block, but had no use for him. The way to capture tho burglars was to get into the rooms above, and the old man crept softly up stairs and tried tho door of White & Gregg's oflice to find it locked. He lifted the snsh of tho hull window, crept along on the cornice, and one of the oflice windows was found unfastened. He crept ln, tiptoed across two rooms and into the rear one, and he was not at all surprised at what he saw. A squnro hole had been cut in tho center of tlie lloor, an opening made through the brick vault, nnd the men had descended by a rope Unole Billy could see a light down there and hear men at work. His flrst move was to draw up tho rope. It wns not missed for several minutes by those below. When it was missed, a man was boosted up lo find 1 ho muzzle ot a shotgun Minis! Into his face and to hear Uncle Billy Bay: "You try that again and I'll blow your head off." The man dropped back, and next minute Unole Billy was hailed by White from the bottom of tho vault. He explained that he had discovered tho hole in the floor, made during his absence from the oflice, and had descended to investigate. Mr. Gregg was there with him, he said, and also a friend. He talked glibly and coax- lnglyahd asked the old man to lower them thu rope. When he refused, they offered him till, 030, ��60. Then they turned to threats, and, lludlng him still firm and determined, several shots were fired at him from revolvers. Ho waB on his guard against them and suffered no injury. Half a dozen times before daylight came ono of the trio was boosted up, but always to find himself so menaced lhat he was glad to drop buck. They could not get out of the vault by the loor, and Uncle Billy and his Unloaded shotgun prevented escape above. No burglars were ever caught in a neater trap, and this wus of their own making, and they hnd planned it from the day they rented the oflice. They wero held in the vault until morning and holp came, and Parkvillo will never hnvo another such Bcnsution. G regg and Whito turned out to bo two bad men, wanted by tho polico of three or four different cities, and tho third man wus still more prominent. They had everything arranged to tho smallest do- tail, but were brought to grief by a man who didn't know a bunk burglar from the mnn in the moon. The fellows got long sentences In prison, and I'nclo Billy got a pension for life and died less H>*n fire , yean ayo. v. B. Lkwis.
