PRICE FIVE CENTS r li THREE CANDIDATES SPEAK Hall a Martinite. ���> One of the big guns in the present political campaign was fired at the opera house last night, when the three candidates in the running faced a crowded house. Tho gathering was representative and had evidently determined in advance to hear all tho speakers of Llie evening patiently am! fairly. The oider was excellent, although the audience waxed warmly enthusiastic at times. At 8:30 the diop cm tain of the stage was hoisted. On the platform were seated John Toye, who officiated as chairman, Aichie ^ Leiteh of Ciaubiook, W. A. Macdonald, John Houston. Dr. Hall, John Elliott and Frank Fletcher. Mr. Toye opened' the meeting briefly, urging upou the audience tho desirability of preserving good older and according each of the speakers a fair hearing, adding that while all could not look or think alike they could at least agree to li=ten patiently ��nd discuss their conclusions later While none of the candidates had any cause of complaint with the reception whicli he received, it was manifest that the great body of the meeting was in sympathy witli candidate Houston. There was applause for each of the other candidates as they advanced to speak, but when "candidate Houston was called upon the applause was almost deafening. It may also be fairly said that candidate Houston made by long odds the most telling address of the three candidates, and, though he consumed more than the time set by the chair, he was in sympathy with the great majority of his heaiers throughout, which was attested both by the frequency and volume of applause Avhich marked his periods. Carsjidate Fletcher was the first candfHate called upon. He explained in opening that lie was the candidate of the Liberal Oonserva- x i ve party, and then proceeded to enlarge upon tho merits of the Conservative parfcy as an organization." 1 fe then gave a short sketch of the \political history of the province since the overthrow of the Turner government, tbe ci cation of the Semlin administration, its subsequent defeat > and the calling of .Joseph Martin to form a government. Although a party line candidate he admitted fchat there was M>me difference of opinion with inspect to the introduction of party lines in the present contest. This, lie said, arose from the fact that the present contest hud been brought about sooner than had been expected and the forcing of. premier Mai tin into the contest, With, respect to his two opponents lie said he knew where one of them ttood���-John Houston. Tie was the representative of tho Provincial J'arty. Of Dr. Hall, he was known ��� as-. IndependentJjiboral, but the spcuker said he could nofc place him after that. Thus occasioned much laughter. With respect to candi- d ite Houston, he said he had been -u ell treated by the people of Nelson. He had served as mayor of the eity twice, aud was now serving a third term, and it was a position to which there had ahvays beeu a good salary attached. He then proceeded to discuss fche standing of tho Provincial Parfcy and its chances of success in the present contest. He said that there were only fifteen P 'rovincinl candidates in the field on Tiik Triucxii'sshowing, and only three of them were m ell known. Supposing all of them were elected, he said there was no possibility of the party forming a government. Taking up the Conservative candidates, he said there xyeve 38 of thenr in the field, and as an evidence of their. ,probable success at fche polls, he read an ox- 1 racfc from the Vancouver Province in which the,electors were' advised to vote for the straight- Conserva- t i ves in order to down Joe Martin. The candidature of Dr. ,Hail was then referred to a, second time, the ppeaker remarking that by some he was placed' npon the Martin ticket and by others upon one of the other tickets, but as the doctor would speak he might he able to locate himself. Personally tho speaker thought a man's candidature should be so well defined that there wonld be no mistake about it. Touching the matter of fche eight-hour law Mr. Fletcher sit id thafc Mr, Houston had accused him of insincerity- He said this was unfair because Mr. Houston could not tell Avhere he stood upon' the eight-hour law. He then explained that lasfc year he took tho position that the law was upon the statute books and that the best thing to do was to make the best of it. He did not care two straws whether Mr. Houston said he was a new convert or not. In his opinion tho eight-hour law was not an issue. He did not think that, whoever was elected, there would be any set of men so foolish as to touch the eight-hour law or the penalty clause. Mr. Fletcher then read one or two paragraphs from his printed platform in connection with which he said, if elected, he would be in favor of making some amendments to the Mineral Act. Touching the Chinese and Japanese labor questions he expressed the opinion that the efforts made by the Semlin administration at checking the immigration of the Chinese and .Japanese had been mere waste of time and money. As far as this cheap foreign labor matter was concerned he thought it was an imperial question, but, if pressed, the rights of the province would be recognized and some meant, found whereby the Chinese and Japanese would be excluded from the province. When candidate Fletcher had concluded his remarks the chairman thanked the meeting for the patient hearing wliich had been accorded to him and then called upon candidate Hall to address the electors. Candidate Hall said he came before the meeting as he had been fiom the first, an Independent Liberal. He confessed that there had been a great deal of misconception with respect to his candidature and the recent meeting of the Liberals. It had been said that he was turned down and that he had persisted in running after his friends had said that they did nofc want him. He said he did not believe there was a man in the audience who would accuse him of this. With regard tot the meeting that had been held it was an annual meeting of the Liberal Association. He said his name had not been before the meeting as a candidate. The resolution which was voted down was that1 the association .should postpone for ten days the matter of bringing out a candidate and that a conventionale called to decide whether or not a party man should be brought forward. In the discussion upon this motion fche question was asked whether .the party .would be able to win if a Liberal candidate was brought for- ward and it was *then thafc his name was mentioned, the statement being made fchat if he would consent to stand the Liberals would win the election. With respect to his candidature fche doctor said that lie had been endoised by the Liberal Association of ymir. He furthermore said he would be willing to have a Libeial convention called representative of the riding, and if he was not fche choice of the majority of the Liberate, if they would not endorse his candidature, he would withdraw from the contest and forfeit his $200. provided Mr. Houston would do the same. This was received with uproarious laughter. Dr. Hall then devoted himself to fche campaign figures quoted by Mr. Fletcher. He said Mr. Fletcher had stated fchafc there were 38 Conservatives in fche field. He then asked Mr. Fletcher if this included all the Turner candidates. Mr. Fletcher replied thafc ifc did. Tho doctor then said that he had known the Turner government for tho past 20 years since he was a boy on his father's farm. He then criticized severely the Turner government's policy, especially in connection with fche grant to the E. & N. Raihvay Company. He added further that as Mr. Fletcher claimed allegiance to the Turner party the position of Mr. Turner upon the . eight-hour law was ,- -of interest. * He . "said Mr. Turner had stated publicly in the present campaign that he was nofc in favor of fche eight-hoitr law, and fchafc he would be in favor of repealing fche penalty clause. Another matter,worth noting was thafc while in some portions of the province the attempt was being made by the Conservatives to conduct the election upon straight' party lines, there was a distinct pledge on fche part of the Turner Conserva* tivos nofc to do so. The only meaning which could be taken' from this in the event of an alliance befcweeu the Conservatives and the Turner- ites was a continuance of tho old Turner government. This was borne oufc by the fact fchafc in no constituency where there was a Turnerite in the field was there a throughout the province there were 18 Turner candidates and 17 Conservatives. Support given to candidate Fletcher was therefore support given to the Turner government, since the Turnerites by reason of their pledge against party lines would swallow the Conservatives. Touching the candidature of Mr. Houston, Dr. Hall said he was before the electors as a Provincial Party candidate. Personally he himself had always been a supporter of the Provincial Party, but this year he thought the party was going out of existence and things were in such a muddled state that he thought it was necessary to get down to party lines. Dr. Hall then touched upon the classification of Ralph Smith as a Provincial Parfcy candidate. He said fchat Ralph Smith was an independent labor man. The doctor further said that Mr. Cotton was not sound upon the eight-hour law and, therefore, that Houston could not support him. The manner in which the Martin candidates were classified in The Tribune did~ not suit the doctor, and he pointed out that on one page of The Tribune it was stated that premier Martin had failed in his pledge to have his candidates in the field in every constituency, while upon another page of the same issue it was shown thafc premier Martin had thirty-two candidates in the field. This, the doctor said,' showed how unreliable The Tribune was. He might have explained thafc there are thirty- eight seats in the legislature as against thirty-two candidates credited to premier Martin; that for four of the thirty-two seats two Martin men were doubled up; thafc in several others the Martin candidates were wobblers who, like himself, were difficult to place; but he did not. Touching on the nine nour resolution which came befoie the city council, the doctor said he considered the request for nine hours was fair and that he proposed a resolution and supported it in the council. He said candidate Houston had not supported this in the council ov in The Tribune. �� Mr. Houston's reply to this had been fchafc he had taken action, along this line before when the wharf question came up so fchat the contractors would be obliged to pay fche current rate of wages fco carpenters for nine hours' work. The doctor said he had hunted up the minutes of the cifcy council and he found thafc this resolution had been moved by Dr. Arthur and seconded by alderman McKillop. Ifc this matter he said ifc was therefore clear that Mr. Houston's memory had failed him. The doctor then came back to the endorsation of his candidature at Ymir. He said thafc he had been endorsed hy fche miners' union and he had the same under fche seal of the union���fche Ymir Miners' Union. Ifc raised quite a titter of merriment when the limited nature of the doctor's endorsation slipped out. He also added thafc he had been en- dorsedTby_the Liberal associafcion=~- also of Ymir. As to his position with respect to premier Martin he said that if the premier brought in good legislation he would support such legislation. Ho would do fche same thing for fche Conservative parfcy or any other parfcy that happened to find itself in power. He then read a eouple of planks from his platform and suggested certain amendments to the mineral act whereby assessment work could be pel formed upon trails instead of upon mineral claims. Ho said lie was also in favor of a survey being made of the country showing the mountains so that agents in London could point out to capitalists just where the mining properties were.- ' ' W..A. Galliher, upon the conclusion- of Dr. >HaIl's remarks, asked the chairman whether he would be permitted to ask candidate Hall one question. The candidate con-' sented to answer the "question and the chairman thereupon gave'his consent. Mr. Galliher, in ��� putting question, said he eousidered-.it only fair to Dr. Hall, and .to all >vho might be called upon to cast their ballots that candidate Hall should answer the question which he proposed to put. He then said: If, Dr. Hall, when the house meets, a vote of wanfc of confidence in the Martin government is introduced, how will you vote ? The question staggered the doctor, bufc he made the best he could of it. He said: The question i.s just this. If premier Martin has nineteen members present in Victoria when the house meets, Conservative in the field, and ] and my vote would either Globe Trotter Due. Paris, June 1.���Henry Gilbert, the Frenchman who is making a tour of the world on foot, is due and is expected to arrive here on throw the government out of power or continue it in power aud give ifc a chance to carry on the government of the country; I say I would nofc dare to say to half the people of the province that the government which they had shown confidence in should be deprived of thafc confidence. I would say we will make terms; we ill give Martin a chance. If, he savers I will be the first to 'vote want of confidence." The answer was regarded as satisfactory. Candidate Houston followed Dr. Hall. He made what all conceded to be the best speecli in his career. It was straightforward; no trimming. It was a complete answer to the jibes of his opporjnts aud an ample justification of his position before the electors. Lack of space prevents its appearance in this issue and ifc will be published tomorrow. W. A. Macdonald closed the meeting. He made a good speech, but did not touch upon the attempt at disfranchising those 489 electors, which was made by the local Conservative Association as supporters of candidate Fletcher, nor the part which he personally ..took in fighting against the placing of this large number of duly qualified voters upon the list. FIGHT NEAR JOHANNESBURG Gallant Gordons.Again. , London, May 31.���il:02 a. m.��� The war office has received from Roberts a dispatch, dated Germis- ton, May 30, 9 p. m., saying: "The brunt of the fighting yesterday fell upon Ian Hamilton's column. I have sent him, as already mentioned, to work' around to the west of Johannesburg in support of French's cavalry, which was directed to go north near the road leading to Pretoria. I have not heard from French yet, bnt Hamilton, in a report which has jusfc reached me, states that aboufc one o'clock in the afternoon he found.'his&tf ay strongly blocked by the enemy posted on some kopjes and ridges three miles south of the rand. They had two heavy guns and some field guns and pom-poms. "Hamilton forthv* ith attacked. The righfc was led by the Gordons, who affcer cup tin ing one extremity of the lidge wheeled round and worked along it until after dark, clearing ifc of the enemy, who fought most; obstinately. The One Hundred and Fourth led on the other flank, and would 'not be denied,- bufc the chief share in fche action, as in the casualties, fell to the Gordons, whose gallant advance excited the admiration of all. "Hamilton is now afc Florida, due wesfc of Johannesburg, and French is a mile further to the northeast. The Gordons, the cavalry, the mounted in fan tiy, and the Seventh division aro holding the heights of the town. The Eleventh division, -with.-batteries H- aud G and-tho heavy artillery, are south of Johannesburg.

Kaslo, May 31,���[Special to The Tribune.]���Ada'm Baird and Harry Sutherland are missing, and it is feared'they are dead. They left here some time ago to go into some claims above Baird's Landing, ou the Upper Duncan river, and nothing has been heard of them. Search parties have failed to find any trace of them. The two men were well known here. A< lam Baird was formerly with the K. Ii. & N. Company. time today. Gilbert calculates that Avhen he finishes he ���will have travelled 11,500 miles. He started from here Feb. 19, 1895. Two thousand pounds is involved in the undertaking, and among the conditions is one that no money is to be asked during the journey. He passed through Spain, Algeria, Palestine, Syria, Java, Armenia, Turkey and Australia before visiting America, Canada, Scotland and England. Many times his life has been endangered. WILL ENTER CITY TODAY Boer Rearguard Repulsed. Germiston, Transvaal, May 30.��� 3:25 p.m.���Johannesburg is practically in British possession. The mines are uninjured." Nine engines, a coal train aud a great quantity of rolling stock were captured. The remnants of the Boer learguard remained behind and fought in the streets of Germiston, but were easily cleared by the Grenadiers. The troops have not yet occupied Johannesburg. General French is now at Landsaagte. The Guards hold Elandsfontein and Germiston. The state entry into Johannesburg will take place tomorrow. The Boers have gone to Pretoria. The railroad from here to the Vaal river is uninjured. London, May 31.���4:20 p. m.���A special dispatch from Germiston, a suburb of Johannesburg occupied by lord Roberts, says several hundred Boers have sought refuge in a mine, where the British grenadiers have cornered them and barred all escape. begged me to defer entering the town for 24 hours, as there were many armed burghers inside still. I agreed to this, as I am most anxious to avert the possibility of anything like disturbance inside the town, and as bodies of the enemy are still holding the hills in the im- . mediate neighborhood, from which they will have to be cleared off beforehand. Rundle reports that he attacked a large body of Boers near Senekal on May 28th. He said his casualties were not heavy. Brabant reports that ou May 28th two of his patrols, consisting of two officers and 40 men, were cut off by the enemy and taken prisoners." Tupper on Yukon Question Again. Ottawa, May 31.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Sir Hibbert Tupper, in the house today, again discussed Yukon affairs. He moved a long resolution, which took over an hour by the speaker to read, and it was to the effect that major Walsh had used his position in the Yukon for his own benefit, and that he had grubstaked Indians, sharing the claims which they had located. Tupper's principal evidence was that Louis Car- bonneau, cook in*Walsh's employment, had located a claim on Dominion creekithe morning after it had been opened, and that he got this information at Walsh's camp. Tupper spoke in favor of increased salary for the judges in British Columbia, and Laurier said the matr ter would be considered. Miner Wrong Again. Editor, Nelson Tribune : My attention has been called to the publication in the Nelson Miner of my nomination as a Conservative candidate. This is a campaign lie industriously circulated by the Fort Steele Prospector in the^face of my published plafcform, and in, spite of my repeated declarations to the contrary upon every platform from which I have spoken during fche campaign.

OFFICIAL NEWS IS SCARCE Fatal Dynamite Explosion. - Chilton. Wisconsin, May 31.���A dynamite explosion" in the houso of August Brohoem near Forest Junction today, killed six' members^ of the family. The house was completely wrecked. Brohoem was a wealthy farmer aud ifc is not known what caused the explosion. Sooth Africans Booming. London, May 31.���The news of the impending surrender of Johannesburg and Pretoria caused general improvements in the markets here today. South Africans are booming. Elsewhere the public bought only slightly, waiting for official confirmation of fche war new.s. Roberts Granted Delay. London, May 31.���The war office has received the following dispatch from lord Roberts, under date of Germiston, May 30th : "In answer to a flag of truce 1 went to Johan- iiosburg this morning, the commandant came to see me. He Kruger Has Fled. London, June 1.���3 a. m.���Belated dispatches from Pretoria confirm the reports of the departure of Kruger with his cabinet and staff officials on Tuesday, and the selection at a meeting of citizens of a committee to administer the city provisionally. Since those telegrams left on Wednesday nothing has reached Lorenzo Marquez by telegraph fiom Pretoria. Possibly the wires have beeu cut, although the war office has nofc received a word about ifc. No one in London J harbors the idea fchat the Boer capital is nofc already in the hands of the British or about to be there. The possession of Johannesburg afc all accounts, as lord Roberts has telegraphed, is a fact. States attorney Smith did nofc depart wifch president Kruger, bufc' remained in Pretoria. The present; seat of fche Boer government, according fco a dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez, i& probably shifted further east. The Boers lately confronting lord Roberts appear to ha\ e gone east and also toward the Lydenbnrg region. The defenders of Laing's Xek, wheu their position becomes too warm, will probably go .straight north. When this concentration takes place theie will be twenty thousand men out. for a time, ..with scattered bands of guerrillas also. -The press dispatches from fche headquarters of lord Roberts differ in their estimate as to the number of Boeis who were fighting generals French and. Hamilton on Monday, but they all agree that the Boers retired and that the British casualties were slight. Much rolling stock and seven engineers have been captured by lord Roberts alone. The principal losses' in fche fighting have been sustained by mounted infantry, but the casualties have been trifling. Generals Fronch and Hamilton were engaged to the west of Johannesburg. The enemy fought a rearguard action, retiring from the south to the north of the town with pom-poms and artillery in the morn-, ing, and withdrawing their riflemen through the town. We captured nine engines, and over a hundred wagons. We succeeded in cutting the line in three directions and imprisoning-all rolling stock in Johannesburg.- " ' Four thousand fresh troops^ will embark for South Africa in' the next few days. NELSON TO BE THE SEE CITY Proceedings of Synod. The Anglican synod concluded its labors yesteiday afternoon and the meeting wound up last night with a most successful reception in honor of the clerical and lay delegates. The most important feature of yesterday's business was an unanimous resolution recommending the bishop to designate Nelson as the see city of the diocese of Kootenay just organized. This his lordship did amid great applause. A generous offer was placed before the synod in the shape of a communication from a citizen of Nelson; who volunteered to give sufficient land to form a site for an Episcopal residence. A standing committee was formed to canvass the diocese for the Episcopal endowmaut fund, the Nelson members being Rev. H. S. Akehurst and George Johnstone. Committees on Sunday observance and Sunday schools were also appointed by the bishop. A large portion of the afternoon : sitting was spent in discussing the constitution and rules of order which were passed through all stages and adopted. A telegram was drawn up and forwarded to the governor-general for transmission to general lord Roberts, congratulating the latter on the success of the British army under his command. ' - Votes of thanks were passed to - the citizens of Nelson, the C. P. R., the rector and church wardens of St. Saviour's and the ladies of the church. After the synod adjourned the first meeting of the executive of the new diocese was held. The committee organized and transacted routine business. The reception to the synod in Fraternity hall last night was attended by all the clergymen and " many of the congregation of Sfc/ * Saviour's church. A committee of the ladies had the arrangements in hand and served dainty refreshments during the evening. A pro- grain of vocal and instrumental selections was rendered.

The Tkihune, however, has no objection to answering "Anti-Martinite's" question as to Dr. Hall's candidature.

B B B B B B B A few weeks ago the Xelson Miner proclaimed that party government [was the only solution- for the political problems of - British Columbia. It was then championing fche cause of the Wilson Conservatives. Within the pa-sfc few days the politicians who control the Miner shifted their position, and wifch ifc the Minor's policy. They have agreed to made a common cause with the Turner Conservatives. One of the terms of this agreement is that there shall be nn straight parfcy government; another is that the penalty clause in the eight-hour law shall be repealed, or the law amended in such a way thafc its provisions can be evaded by contracting out. Frank Fletcher accepts the change. He is as Avilling to support u coalition government as he was to restore confidence and save the country by supporting a straight Conservative government. If any such arrangement prejudicially affects the eight-hour law, then so much the worse for the eight-hour law. In hi.s platform ho says thafc ho opposed fco any change in the law; bufc he is willing to form an alliance j Candidate % Hali/s campaign committee has purchased a portion of the columns of the Nelson Miner for political purposes. The Fletcher- Hall combination is now in perfect working order. On the second page of the Miner the Fletcher committee pleads for Fletcher and slanders Houstou; while on the fourth page the Hall committee abuses Houston and pleads for votes for Hall. Ix their purchased portion of the Nelson Miner the Hall campaign committee endeavors to mislead the electors into believing that candidate Hall is upon the same platform as Ralph Smith. This no doubt has been attempted without the knowledge of candidate Hall. In view of the fact that he personally solicited the assistance of Ralph Smith in his candidature, and was refused the desired assistance, candidate Hall would hardly presume to say that any sympathy existed between Ralph Smith and himself in the present contest. Tbe answer which Ralph ' Smith made to candidate Hall's request was, that'lie (Ralph Smith) was a labor jnan first, and a Provincial Party man after, and that as there would bo a Provincial Parfcy candi- in the field in the Nelson riding he would accord his support to such candidate. Candidate Hall may paint himself the "workingman's friend", bufc it is too late for him to creep in under Ralph Smith's skirts. The Vancouver World in its revised tabid of provincial nominations .places candidate Hall in tho Martin government column. The World is tho personal organ of premier Martin and when ifc claims a candidate it i&,on3y fair to assume fchat some understanding exists between the candidate and premier Joe. The World's action bears oufc the assurances given in Ymir as to candidate Hall's connection with Martinism. Ex-Queen Xiliuokalini.

All pltiitcrerH arc icqueKted to meet in the Kl- liot block at 8 o'clock on Thurmlay evening, Uio ;£ your paper, you will give me the hospitality of space in your columns. You say that the foundation of Liberalism can best 'be secured by supporting the 'straight Conservative ticket, aud 1 ■amJt'jlfy assured you must beliovo this or you as a supporter of the r ILaurier government would not take 'J hat ground. Bnt, sir, ifcjs because 1 believe as earnestly ns you do that Liberalism will behest secured liy returning the Provincial Party to power that I intend to support t !.<" Provincial Party. Among thab parly there are and have been Liberals, and in the coalition 'which must necessarily come to pass in oider to permit oi" a satisfactory government in the province Liberals can only hope to iind a place in this Provincial Party. They will be allowed no consideration by those who now dictate the policy of Wilsonisiu. - The party whicli Mr, Carter-Codon leads has represented and will continue to represent Lib-' mil opinion ; ifc gives a place in its j-aijks to a fair proportion of Liberal cabinet representation, aud by i I h past actions deserves both consideration jind confidence. Jthas a fdr record of past services of a. .satisfactory order to refer to, and though it failed in obtaining for "the""country-a" just-redistribution" bill it must be acknowledged that no other party would have done any better in that direction. ' The Wilsou "party aro soliciting Liberal support iu Vancouver, yet lliey affront the Liberals by fac-. tions opposition in other constituencies. 1 do not think that any .sober and sane reasoner among the Liberals can hope for tho slightest i-onsidewition should the Wilson party be returned. The return of a Conservative Wilson ticket to powttt' now will mean the return of rt Conservative member to the Ottawa house at tho nest Dominion election* which 1 eoiwiclpr to be a ronMimmalion most sincerely to be deprecated.' Now. sir, you have a j ight to your opinion, and you have a right to give advice it is believed t o tend to tho same end that 1' also desire to attain. But, I tun assured, I am confident in my own mind t Jmt the right line for those Liberals j o pursue who wish to restore re- <,pousiblo government in British •Columbia is to cast their votes for .'■li'. Carter-Cotton and for two labor iMiididates. The rea«on I urge support to the labor candidate? is this: The principal danger thafc threatens this piovince is tho alarming immigrant m of Oriental laborers, who will rooii outnumber the present governing white classes These Mongolian foreigners must be taxed to raise the necessary revenue for government ; they will not fail soon to obtain British nationality. As British subjects and taxpayers they cannot be denied tlio franchise. But a few years more and their yot-e. will outnumber the votes of Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. Sy Atlin, B. 0., and Dawson City, N. W. Tl: the white population and British Columbia will cease to be a white man's colony. It is idle to shut our eyes to the natural sequence of results following a continuance of the present state of affairs. The solid phalanx" of white workmen who will be ruined by this Mongolian invasion are the best men to fight this danger, and in Mr. Ralph Smith I personally believe I see a man who will lead the labor candidates with moderation and ability. There is more of the broad principles among the labor association than of private and personal interests. It is the personal factor which weakens most other political parties who are in the field. ;>-Reas-. oning on these lines I take the liberty of differing with The Province in the line of action they urge, the electors of .Vancouver to pursue, and I submit for your further argument the reasons I have come to this decision. Fai,k Warbn. Vancouver, May 28th. Killed in the Le Eoi. John Maikson, a Swedish miner at the Le Roi mine, met his death suddenly there Wednesday. He was engaged with his partner in" tending an ore chute from a stope on the GOO-foot level. The finer part of tho debris caked together over the top of the "chute forming a bridge. Maikson stepped upon it with both feet, and began stamping to break it down. His partner helped him in his endeavor,' out was careful to keep one "foot upon the collar brace. The bridge suddenly gave way. Maikson being in a stooping position, fell head foremost and was buried in the tumbling mass so that his feet alone were visible. His partner fell also, but with an arm stretched before him, and ifc was" buried to the shoulder. Having the use of the other arm he was able by energetic scrambling to keep clear of the loose ore as it rapidly fell around him.1 He-had, however, a very, narrow escape for 'his life. Wheu John Maikson was extricated, which was done with as little delay as possible, it was found that fche breath had lei'fc his'bddy. The pressure seemed principally to be upon fche small of his back and stomach, ancl was-sufficient to exhaust the lungs and keep fchem empty.

The American and Canadian agent of one of the big lines learned today that the Allans proposed to merge the Allan State Line and all of its other Trans- Atlantic- service under the single head of the Royal Ulster Steamship Company.

They confirm the report thafc the besieged Belgians are now safe afc Pekin. They found several thousand Boxers about the ruins of Lu- Kow-Chiao and Chang Tsin Tien stations. The bridges have been damaged and the rolling stock destroyed at both places. The damage done is considerably greater than afc Fang Tai. The members of tiie rescue parfcy saw several bodies of Chinese tearing up the sleepers, and in one case a mandarin was looking on. They further report that" the- missionaries _ and "others escaped from Pai-Ting-Fu in boats. The imperial raihvay director is endeavoring to fasten the blame for the damage at Fang Tai on the foreign employees, principally the British, whom they say should not have left their posts. The foreigners, however, did. not leave until they saw Li Kow Chio station, five miles away, in flames and an attack had actually been made on an engine from Fang Tai, whicli was running on fche Lu-Han line in an attempt to rescue the Belgians. The- foreign men of war have ariived here today, five'Russian warships and two Russian gun-1 boats, one Frencli warship, two British warships and one Italian warship. They are all landing mon.. Germans Take a Hand. Bmrlix, May 31.—The latest news from China has given rise to nmch anxiety here. The German commander ac Tsing Tan has been ordered to act in conjunction wifch the naval authorities of the other powers as circumstances may require. The landing of marines at Taku to go to Pekin was ordered. The report from the United States that 20,000 Russians are advancing to help the Chinese, is baseless. No power is sustaining China. We know Russia will nofc separate herself from the others. A cable arrived today from Tsing Tan saying the German cruiser, Kaiser- in Augusta, havipg tftken on board an additional officer and 30 ix}ar}nea sailed for Taku, the German gun? boat Illis following. German naval authorities, ifc is understood, consider ifc important to land large To tiik Electors of 'ihe Nelson Hiding : Uoiitlomcn—As the unanimous choice of a duly constituted convention of the Mippoitcra of the Provincial Party in the Nels,on riding, I am before you ius a candidal* for representative of the Nolson tiding in tho ncxr provincial legislature. In this connection I desire to bolicit jour vote? and influence in my behalf. Believing fchat every man aspiring for membership should place himself on rccoidon the main issues I take thia opportunity of stating that I om in favor of legis- l.ition upon (lie following lines: 1, Representation in the legislative assembly should bo based on population, with such iiioditf- caliona as will give sparsely settled districts proportionately larger representation than fities and thickly settled farming districts. 2. All legislation should bo goneral, and not special? A beginning lias been made in this direction by the enactment of laws Tinder which cities can be incorpoiatcd, companies formed, and water records obtained. These should be added to by tho passage of 11 goneral railway in-A corporation act, and ono giving municipalities the saumpouerj to acq una water records aa aie now accorded private coi porat ions. .V Public lands should be kept foractual settlement, and land subsidies should not be granted to aid the building of railways that when built are owned by corporations. 4. Government ownernhip of raUwajn is no more .1 theory than municipal ownership of public utilities. Both biws been tiicd and found to \v01kfor tho public good when capably and honestly managed ; bufc 111 making a commence incut in'government ownership of iailways in this provinco, a section should be selected in which the government would have a free hand, and not in sections where competition would be met 5. Prevention of ihc landing in this province of Chinese and Japanese laboier-., and the discouragement of the cmploj ment of those already here by ev cry fair means possible. ti. Positive, not negative, iaws should only be passed. If the piinciplc of a law is good, the jaw should bo effective. The cight-hoiu day for men woi king undei eiound in metalliferous mines is now generally accepted as legislation in the righrdirecUon. I would~oppose any legislation that would lcpoal tho penalty clause, 01 in any other way impair the effectiveness of the law as ib now stands. 7. To give immediate efroet, by legislation, to a resolution similar to that know mis tho Mil loch lesolutloii, icconOy passed by tho Dominion House of Commons, vt Inch prov ides for the payment of fair wages oh public woiks or vvorKH aided by government subsidies.

The government In power should make official announcement, for a reasonable tune be- fDio the legislative ai-semb)}. meets, of all pio- posod legislation. Wore this done there would be fewer hastily pusHOd laws, laws which are too oftoii ngaiiiHt the public interest. All ot which Is respectfully submitted for your consideration. To the Electors of the Slocan Hiding: .'.'_' Gentlemen—With the dissolution of the legislative asscmblv, the duty again devolves upon the electors of the Slocan riding to choose a mem ber to represent them in the provincial legislature. It is my intention to become a candidate at the forthcoming election and with full confidence in the result'I again respectfully solicit tho suffrages of the electors of tho riding. while I may point with pardonable satisfaction to the manner in which I nave conserved the interests of the riding and sought to meet local requirements so far as practicao'c, I havo earnestly endeavored to forward legislation in the interests of the whole province, and such as would tend toward its material development. Constant in attendance at the sessions of the legislature, I havo been watchful that no vote of mine should be wanting for any measure beneficial to my constituents, or the province as a whole: nor have I been ^neglectful of the interests or the wage earner, but have, in some degree at least, been instrumental in placing their fair demands amongst the principles to be advocated by a great-political party. It is well perhaps that 1 should briefly state some of the principles which I have advocated and shall continue to advocate until they are incorporated in provin- • cial legislation. ' (1) I am in favor of an equitable redistribution of the seats in tho legislative, assembly, based generally upon 'population, buti with duo regard to. the interests and circumstances of outlying and sparsley settled districts.'"1 ■■': • (2) I shall advocate the government ownership of railways and other public franchises so far as may be practicable, and a general enactment by which companies desiring to construct railways may he incorporated without special legislation, and that railways bonused by the piovince may be under government control as to their rates and subject to purchase at government option. (3) I shall do all in my powei to as=ist and support the advancement and development of the mining interests of the piovince, upon whicli its piospenty is so materially dependent. (4) I believe in the principle of the eight-hour law and shall permit no interference with the law as it stands, and shall insist upon the retention of the penalty clause. (5) I shall advocate a liberal cspcndituic upon trunk roads and trails in the various districts of the province, believing that upon such expenditure the development of the vast rcsouiccs of the country matenallj depends. \& I shall advocate, and if elected assist in, the enactment of laws for tho pioper adjustment of disputes between labor and capital, by a well digested and equitably arranged sjetcmof compulsory arbitration. (7) I believe that Asiatic and oilier cheap labor is detrimental to tho best inteiestsot British Coliimbi*. I shall therefore advocate its restriction so far as it may be mtia v ires of prov in- cial legislation, and ihall assist in bimgmg such pressure to bear upon the f« deial govei nment as may induce that government to as?iht in tho work, and will most emphatically insist that no such class of labor shall beemplojed upon any public works undei taken by t ho piovince or upon such works as are subsidised bj.or 111 any v\aj subject to tho oontiol of the government. (8) I behev e that the educational system of the provinco may bo materially impioved and <.hall give my heartiest assistance in bringing it to tho highest state of eiUciency bj the establishment of iiounal schools and other instrumentalities that mavtond to the accomplishment of that obj'ect, (!*) I shall also advocate and assist in the development of the agnculLurul rcsouiccs of tho prov incc. (10) T believe that the moneys of the province should be expended upon some broad and general system vv liieh would ensure the greate-tamount of benefit f 1 om such expenditure. In thisiidinfj1 I havc endcavoiedto inaugurate such a system by having tho woik upon loads nnd UaiK placed under a responsible head, so that the appioprla- tion, necessarily inadequate wider existing circumstances, might bo beneficially and economically c.vpeiidcd.

On the other hand the club is very much alive and the only vexed problem t he team has to solve i.s that of securing iiholhcr organization against which to test their m ttlo. Correspondence has been opened with tne Rossland, JleLeod and Medicine Hat lacrosse c ubs with u view to seeming a game on Dominion Day.

It is inlorcs'ing to note that in comparing the contributions of employees on lines west of Winnopog with those east of the same point, it is demonstrated that the western men were the moie liberal of the two sections The Pacific div'sion, wliich includes Nelson, was particularly generous from the per capita stind- poinl. The Bon Ton restaurant closed up last night, tho owner having sdd his lease to tho proprietors of the second lu.nd store on Josephine street.

The school is now affiliated to the University of Cambridge, and pupils desiring to graduate through that college are prepared for examinations held annually in December. Applications for entrance to these examinations should be made to the sisters early in September so as • to allow them ample time to communicate with fche secretary in Londou. It is expected the new buildings AA'ill be complete when the children return after the summer holidays and the sisters will then be able to accommodate a large number of girls to any age. Accommodation is also made for a limited number of little boys up to the age of 10 so as to convenience parents living out of town. The new school will rest on a stone foundation with Avood frame, will measure. 80 by 35 feefc, and will toAver tAvo stories high. The plans are in the hands of the architect Mr. Curtis, through whom a complete description of the building will be given later. Some Past Staging.
