Vancouver, September 20.���The hi sfc issue of the Yukon Sun says: .'Tom Honey, Georgo Gordon and' TfaiTy Thompson havo arrived at D��iw_on -from.--tho Stewart river country. They traveled pretty well all over, and are more than pleased with all they saw. About r>00 miuers will winter thero, and the country will be pretty thoroughly prospected. Owing to the damp nature of the country, summer prospecting is mado very difficult. The flies are reported as bad. Game of overy description is very plentiful, and no. lack of fresh meat Avill be felt. The, party .amongst; other things enjoyed bear and moose moat,-while, fish, ducks, etc., wore to bo had on every hand. Mr. Kurwash journeyed to the head waters of the McQuesten in company with Tom Heney. They visited" Dublin gulch and all the working . creeks. Although nothing startling has as yet beeii struck, still all the party are convinced that before the coming winter lias passed a good strike will bo made, and all that has been predicted for this country will be verified. Dredging ou tho bars will be carried on very extensively. ' This form of mining has been most successful throughout the headwaters of the Fraser, and iu fact all over the Cariboo country. Several large syndicates have representatives and engineers on the Upper Stewart, who will report on tlieir findings very shortly. HEART - TO - HEART TALKS . Witli British Electors. Loxnox, September 20.���The manifesto of Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of "state for the colonies and lnember of parliament for West Birmingham, has been issued to his constituency. ISe says: "Our opponents assert that wo deliberately provoked a war for which we had made no preparation. The first statement is untrue, and tho second greatly exaggerated. Tho war was forced on us by a sudden invasion, while the negotiations, which were conducted with tho greatest meditation on our part, were proceeding." Mr. Chamberlain then reviews the causes of tho war briefly and the immense and successful exertions of the war oflico at considerable length. Arthur J. Balfour, first lord of tho treasury and government leader in the house of commons, says in the courso of his manifesto to tho electors of'.blast Lothian and: Ross- shire, that the Boers base a hope that the war in South Africa may be fruitless to the victors on the -poRsible=advent'of=the=home=rulersx to power. ._ c, NO DEFINITE ACTION TAKEN Ey Labor Unionists. No definite action was taken by the N'elson Trades and Labor Council last night with regard to placing- a candidate in the field to contest the aproaching . dominion election. The meeting last night was well attended and much of the evening was spent in discussing the question of Chinese labor in Xelson and other points of importance to or- organized labor. A communication was read from the Minors' Union at Ymir, recommending the council to endorse tho action of the Rossland union in regard to a labor candidate, and suggesting a convention of organized labor representatives in Nelson at an early date. The matter camo up for discussion at7a late hour, and the council concluded to leave the question open until Tuesday night, Avhen further consideration will be giyon. The date suggested for the convention is October Oth. United States Casualties. Manila, September 20.--A .corrected list of the casualties sustained by the American soldiers on Monday last, in the engagement at Sinoloa, situated at the east of La- guna de Bay, between a force of 1000 Filipinos and detachments of the 15th and 17th United States iufautry regiments, shows that 24 men are dead, including .three who have died from the effects of their wounds "since the fighting, aud tho missing, and that 19 are wounded including captain J. B. Moran, of company "L" of the 37th regiment. The total number of "Americans engaged is now announced at 13-1. The cneiny's casualties have not been reported. STRIKERS ARMY INCREASES Complete Suspension Predicted. Hazel/ton, Pennsylvania, September 20.���In the absence of president Mitchell from headquarters today, Benjamin James, who is next in charge of the striko in this region, issued the daily bulletin from the United Mine-Workers headquarters. It is as follows: "The reports received at headquarters today have been most gratifying. liar wood, Coleraine and the Star washery at Udenreid, shut down this morning, the men deciding la.st>'evening to .strike with their fellow men. This is . a gain for the mine workers. At Jeddo, where John Markle tried to inftehce the men to go back to work, they remained firm. Eight hundred . more men are on strike in this district today than on any previous day during tho strike. The suspension in the Wyoming and Lackawanna valleys is now complete, the only mine which worked the fore part of tho week being closed, lie- ports from district No. 0 (the lower anthracite) show there has been large accessions to the strikers ranks, great inroads having been made on the Philadelphia & Heading employees. The situation over the entire anthracite field is such that we have evory reason to believe that in a few days the suspension will be general throughout the three districts." Paii.aoei.pmia, September 20.��� Everything quiet and orderly i.s the report that comes from tho strike region. A few more mino workers joined the strikers' ranks today, but not many.- The temper of the mine owners- on- .the question _.o��. arbitration is _��� indicated in interviews and statements given out today, very much against the proposition. Nevertheless, lather Phillips came hero from tho Hazelton region tonight and is with archbishop Ryan in consultation on the subject of the quick settlement of the strike by arbitration or any other honorable means. Protestant clergymen in Ha/.Ieton havo also taken up the matter, and Avill endeavor to bring the opposing elements together amicably. Coal scarcity is more keenly felt today, aud although the Reading company is mining and shipping its usual quota r>. anthracite, dealers are finding it hard to get as much as they need. Tho tonnage of the other great coal carrying companies is gradually diminishing, and in the natural order of things, unless the strike is sottled will soon cease altogether from this district. THE LAW AND THE COURTS Miner's Suit for Wages. Argument was heard yesterday before the supreme court of British Columbia in the appealed suit of Anderson a's Godsal in which the plaintiffs-sought to recover wages for work performed at the Little Phil mine near Ainsworth. The outcome of the case has been awaited with keen interest, because of tho fact that the decision would establish a precedent on the point as to whether development work in a mine is an improvement within the meaning of the Mechanics' Lien Act. The judges were evenly divided on the appeal yesterday, and the case will havo to be reargued before five supreme court judges. Sheriff Tuck has seized the.Sylvia mineral claim on the summit-of Jim Crow mountain and the Royal Irish at the head of Sandy creek to satisfy a judgment of $134 secured by John Hirsch against George SI. G. O'Driscoll. The claims are aunouueed for sale on the 29th inst. Forty Passengers Lost. London, September 20.���A dispatch from Athens to Lloyds, giving further details of the disaster to the Egyptian mail steamer Char- kieh, now ashore ou the Island of Andros, one of the Cyclades, says that forty of th�� passengers and crew were drowned. RUSSIA NO LONGER TRUSTED Morrison's Suspicions Confirmed. London, September 21.���Such Pekin dispatches as appear this morning tend to confirm tho suspicions regarding tho attitude of Russia already expressed by Dr. Morrison, the correspondent of the Times at tho capital. The Daily News prints a telegram, almost identical with the advices to the Daily Express from Pekin, but adding that in the opinion of the correspondent the Russians only desire to induce tho othor powers to AvithdraAv. The Morning Post's Pekiu representative, wiring September 13th, expresses the same opinion, lie declares that M. de Giers will not go unless the other ministers go also. The Russian legation, ho asserts, had prepared to go, bnt reversed its determination pending further instructions. This delay ho thinks is due in all probability to the non-departure of the other legations. "General Chaffee," continues this correspondent, "has directed a distribution of rice to the poor. This plan is a good one but its application is somejvhat premature. What is ehiofly needed is.security of trade so that necessities' may be purchased." "The American commander has expressed his disapproval of further expeditions against the Boxers. The indecision exhibited in this respect is only sham. The settlement is not possible until the Boxers and their official accomplices are vanquished. Numerous schemes arc on foot for catching the Boxer leaders, but tho task is very difficult as they always keep out of the way. BELCIANS CET THEIR MONEY Out of Dominican Bonds. Santo Dominoo, September 20.��� Tho Belgian consul has notified his government by cable that he has received $350,000, in addition to the sums previously received, "from "the goA'ernment of San Domingo on account of the Belgian bondholders, and that he has resolved to deposit the funds collected, after deducting tho amount of the Belgian government's outlays, for the final settlement between tho parties interested. Belgians hold $0,000,000 dollars of Dominican bonds. ' They recently, notified the government of San Domingo that they Avould not accept the contract made with the Santo Dominican Improvement Company, proA'iding for a commission to adjust tho matters in dispute. The American minister at the same time Avas notified by the Dominican government that the interests of tho American bondholders would bo protected. Tho C. P. R. Award. ^^Winniprq���Sepfcombor_20."=Rol)~ ert Strang, the deciding arbitrator selected to settlo the question of tho Canadian -Pacific Railway machinists' wages, in .connection with the recent strike, has givon his decision as follows: "The men from Fort William to Laggau to receive au increase in 'pay of 2 cents per hour. The men from Laggau to Kamloops, both points ex- clusiA'o, and West Kootenay to receive 1 cent increase. The men from Kamloops to Vancouver to receive two cents advance. The rates for young men avIio havo just completed their apprenticeship in the company's shops, aud all new men engaged, will be on the basis of tho schedule hitherto pre- A'ailing, but tho term of probation Avill hereafter be six months, instead of one year, for new men, and one year instead of two for young men avIio have just completed their apprenticeship. Getting His Ore on Hand. Greenwood, September 20.��� Paul Johnson, superintendent of the Greenwood smelter,.:.is..arranging to have ore shipped from the Mother Lode next week. There is. nothing new so far as the smelter is concerned, as all the plant has not yet been shipped, but ore from the mine will be hauled to the smelter, so that a good supply will be on hand as soon as the smelter is ready to blow in. Bank of England Dividend. London, September 20.���At the semi-annual meeting of the Bank of England today the governor, Mr. Stewart Gladstone, announced thab the. six months' profits were ��727,- 8f50. The usual five per cent dividend AAras declared. During the meeting cordial ' references were made to the co-operation of NeAV York financiers with those of London in managing the issue of the war loans. THE UNITEJSTATES POLICY Will be Announced Tomorrow. AVashington, Sep!ember 20.��� The status of the Chinese situation at the close of tiie day, according to a high authority, is as follows: "There aro now before the department of stato a "number of notes awaiting answers. .^These include tho German note, concerning the surrender of Chinese ringleaders, the original Russian proposition for tho withdrawal of troops from Pekin, which has not yet been acted upon as a finality, a memorandum from the Russian government asking as to the purposes of tho United States government, and a request by prince Ching that instructions- be sent to minister Conger to proceed-with peace negotiations at once. In addition there is a verbal inquiry from the French government as to the program of the United States. t These various communications havo accumulated' slowly, and an understanding ��� ,,'h'as now beon reached by the administration that there shall be a general clearance of the subject. This may he ex pec ted oithor lato tomorrow, or early the following day ....-It will clearly enunciate the programme of the7 United States on the various questions presented. "' There Avill be separate notes, according to the character of the communications addressed to this goA'ernment. ��� The German note-will be ansAA'ored bjr a note, aud the memorandum of inquiry from Russia will bo answered by a memorandum, while tho Krench verbal inquiiy will receive a A'erbal response. As to the contents of these several communications the authorities are'not willingitq-give any pqsitiA'o ifftimations,'thorigh as' Far as the German note is concerned the belief is almost general here that tho response of the United States government Avill amount to a declination to make the surrender of the offending Chinese a condition precedent to negotiations of any kind. Concerning tho Russian proposition for withdrawal, it is stated officially that it stands today the same as first presented, thero having been no modifications whatever on the part of HiissiH, up to the present time. Washington, September 20.��� Minister Wu has received the edict issued from Shang-Hai. appointing the-viceroys of Nanking and Wu- Chang as part of the Chinese peace commission. But'in view of the dispatch received from the A'icoroys today, tho minister has doubts that _tJjey_AV_ill_^ej_vo_on_the_j_omniission._ He says, however, that it Avill not be necessary for them to leave their present posts and go to- Pekin. They will be consulted by telegraph, and thoir concurrence will bo secured in all settlements and their signatures given to the final peace agreement. Mr. Wu says he is at a loss to account for the published report that his colleague, the Chinese minister at London, denied that Yung Lu had been appointed' Avith Li 11 ung Chang as peace en- A'oy. .Mr. Wu says there ean be no doubt about the matter as he has received no imperial edict appointing Yung Lu. MADE HOSTAGES FOR A CITY Dorward's Terms to Boxers. London. September 20.���The secretary of 3tate for India has re- ceiA'ed the following dispatch from general Dorward, in command of the British troops at Tien-Tsin, dated Wednesday, September 12th: "Occupied the headquarters of the Boxers ,at Tei Liu, twenty-five miles from Tien-Tsin on September 10th. The enemy lied to Sheng Fang. Tei Liu Avas destroyed, but the large neighboring city, Ching Hai, Avas spared on condition that Mr. Breen, a missionary, and two ladies and two children, who AA'ero known to be in hiding at Use Nan Hsien, would bo brought in safety to Tien-Tsin, Tho mandarin accepted the conditions. Shen Fang, thirty miles distant, is the last of tho Boxers' stronghold near Tien- Tsin." MAY MEET COST OF WAR Out of Mining Concessions.

London, September 20.���Lord ���Roberts telegraphs from Nelspruit, Vaal River colony, under date of Septembor IS, that the town was occupied on the previous day Avithout opposition. He adds that ho is in communication Avith general Buller and is able to send him supplies. Lord Roberts further says general Buller reports that the bulk of his opponents are now mercenaries and Capo Colony rebels. London,' September 20.���Lord Roberts cables from Nelspruit, on the Pretoria-Delagoa Bay railway, not far from Kooraatipoort, tho frontier station, under date of Wednesday, September 19th, as follows: "Of 3000 Boers Avho retreated from Koomatipoort before the British advance from Machadodorp, 700 have entered Portuguese territory.others haA'e deserted in various directions and the balance are reported to have crossed the Koomati river, and to be occupying the spurs of Lebombo mountain, south of the raihvay. A general tumult seems to have occurred when they recognized the hopelessness of their cause. Their Long Toms and' field guns have been destroyed and nothing is left of the Boer army but a few marauding bands. Kelly-Kenny is engaged with oue of these whicli occupies a. position at Doornberg. WILL SETTLE ALL DISPUTES Commissioner Martin Leaves. Victoria;' September 20.���According to information from Skagway, Mr. justice Mortin, special commissioner to the Porcupine" district, accompanied by Lewis J. Seymour, secretary; .1. D. Grahame, government agent and gold commissioner; W. A. Robertson, provincial mineralogist for British Columbia; Robert Cassidy, of this city; Robert Patrick, clerk and eon- stable, and \\\ 11. Vickers of the British Columbia provincial police left for that district on Wednesday last. Chief of the main objects of the commission is to confirm aud ratify the rights of miuers to claims located under the United States laws in tho strip Avhich has been tho subject of the modus A'ivondi between Great Britain aud the United States, thus securing to American citizens as well as British subjects, indisputable titles which Avill be registered with captain Rant, the sub-mining recorder at Pleasant Camp, Dal ton trail, after investigation by tho commission.

In addition to the foregoing all mining disputes Avhich aro brought before tho commission Avill be promptly and finally dealt with. Big Amalgamation. Nrw York, September 20.���In its forthcoming issue, tho Electrical RevieAV Avill say that the American Telephone Exchange, which now includes the American Bell Telephone Company, the Telephono, the Telegraph and Cable Company of America, the Western Union Telegraph Company and the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company, according to persons in a position to know, Avill be consolidated into one big company, to bo known as the National Telephono S_ Telegraph Company. It is said the connection will bo accomplished before the end of the present year. Something New in Imperial Edicts. London, September 20,���The Chinese minister here,, sir Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, has received an imperial edict Avhich orders the Boxers to-be exterminated, and says the missionaries at Pao Ting Fu are ,to be escorted (by the imperial troops of the acting viceroy, and delivered to the commanders of the allied forces at Chang Sing Tien and Till Kon Chiao. NO COMPROMISE SOUCHT In the Coal Miners' Strike. Hazlkton, Pennsylvania, September 20.���There was little activity today around the United Mine Workers' headquarters, from whicli place the coal miners strike is being directed. Most of the union officials spent the day in the J outlying towns, meeting the strikers and giving them instructions. No OA'er tures have been advanced on cither side, and there is at present no indication that auy will be put forth soon. The strike officials aro still at work getting the men out, aud they say they will not cease their activity iii that respect' until every operation in the anthracite region is tied up.' The operators' though badly crippled are.today as confident of success as they -, have heretofore been. ������ The production of coal in the Hazelton region is groAA'iug smaller each succeeding day. One of the best proofs of this is the report of the superintendent of the Hazleton division of the Lehigh Valley railroad, which handles' the coal from all but sixcolleries in this region. This report shows that the shipments havc fallen off to less than tAvo thirds of the normal quantity during tho past four days. 'There is no denying the fact that the inhabitants of this region fear trouble. Most, if not all, of the coal mines are protected by_ extra watchmen. Rumors areafloafthat the sheriffs of. Luzerne,' ��� Schuylkill aud Carbon counties, which adjoin, each other at-'a- point two miles south of here, are swearing in depu- . ties, by the. score. ' 'When the sher- ifls are'approached on the subject they say. there is no trouble, and that they are not. lookiug for any. Certain it is, however, that these officers are keeping a watchful eye on the situation, and they can be quickly found if their presence is needed anywhere. Number forty shaft of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, east of this city, was the center of numerous petty acts of violence during the day. Before six o'clock this morning a handful of Hungarian Avomen wanted to whip three coal and iron 'policemen for persuading breaker boys to go to work. The police, however, managed to get out of their difficulty Avithout a fight. Shortly after that a mine worker says he was shot at by an unknown person, but not hit, Avhile on his way to the shaft. 1 .ater in th_e_day_ an Italian was badly clubbed. Tonight two of the mine workers on their Avay home from the shaft Ave re attacked and badly beaten. Asido from these incidents, quiet prevails throughout the region. The striking mine Avorkers say they are doing their best to prevent disturbances. ALBERT WESTFALL KILLED In the War Eagle Mine. ��� Rossland, September 20.���Albert Westfall, a diamond drill operator employed in the War Eagle mine, was instantly killed at 2 o'clock this afternoon by being struck by the skip. He was standing on a platform near the 250 foot level, Avhen the skip was coming down the shaft. Apparently not noticing its approach, he carelessly stuck his head out to look down where foreman Warden Avas, a few feet below him, and was hit by the full force of the skip. His neck was fractured. Westfall was a natiA*e of Oregon, and was about 32 or 33 years of age. He leaves no family. Tho C. P. R. Bluff.

The situation in tho state ia excellent so far as Mr. Bryan and the state ticket are concerned. The condition in the states of Connecticut and Now Jersey exceeds the expectations [had before; this, my last visit, and I am hopeful that-Mr. Bryan will carry these- states.

The coal fields ol; tho United., .States should nnt be so exploited as to make millionaires of a few citizens, and serfs of many thousands. Tho slate has found it necessary to regulate railway companies; why should it nob regulate coal companies as well? It is not necessary to.assail the coal operators. Tho wages for the laboi' in the winning should come out of the coal. If the stato will fix the minimum wage, the coal operators will sec to it that the consumers and not themselves pay. Consumers of coal are.no more entitled to the preference of securing it under cost than are the consumers of any other commodity to like preference. This is the principle of the New Zealand Arbitration Act, which is now receiving attention in the districts affected by the strike. Had it been in force there would not be the large army of toilers face-to-face' with want; business interests throughout several states would not be .jeopardized; nor would tho .-million .'-consumers be forced at tho present time to pay a famine price for coal. That Charles 11. Mackintosh of Rossland was not nominated at .iovolslo.ee was not because ho did hot want the nomination. lie wanted it, and wanted it handed to him.

Probably the Miner of Nelson, which is now supposed to be supporting the Conservative nominee aud at the same time trying to make a "subsidy I deal" with tho Liberals, will explain why Mr. Mackintosh sent that telegram.

If Off. .lie Coal Supply Were Cut Toronto World. We are not prepared to say'it would not be good "policy on the part of Canada to put a. high duty on anthracite coal. Canada is not without resources of its own. A high duty on coal would compel the delinquent Ontario government to develop Niagara I'Yills power and make it accessible for all Western Ontario; Thousands of tons of coal are .'imported into Toronto every week to run our trolley ears, light our streots, pump our,, water and perform similar services. There is no reason why a pound of coal for these purposes should bo imported, rf the government would allow the power available at Niagara, Palls to be utilized, the number of coal trains running from Buffalo into Canada would decrease 50 por cent. As for coal for domestic uses, a duty on tho United States product would develop a trade between tho maritime ports and western Ontario. ^'^i&C'.eee^C^^^^eeee^c^^^^^^^^ Xif _ iti iti ffl to to to iti iti to to iti iti to to to to vii to to to iti w, NEW FALL GOODS ARRIVING DAILY LADIES' GOLF CAPES IN ALL THE LEADING PLAIDS NEW DRESS MATERIAL SUITINGS IN ALL THE�� LATEST SHADES FLANNEL AND CASHMERE BLOUSE WAISTS DRESSING JACKETS, WOOL SHAWLS, UNDERSKIRTS, ETC.

Procter, acting as the agent of tho Manchester, .England, capitalists whom ho represents in British Columbia, has taken working bonds on two silver-lead properties and has commenced development on both. A small crew ol." men has been at work on the Elgin group for some little time with very satisfactory results. Tho Elgin is located on Procter creek, which enters the lake near the Outlet hotel. A number of years ago claims were staked on the creek and a little work was done. The locations were in an entirely new district, however, and attracted by brighter prospects elsewhere, the camp was deserted. An old government trail to the camp has been opened and work will be continued all winter. Specimen? of. clean ore from the property assay 100 ounces ��� silver and 05 to 70 per cent in lead. The second property being worked by the syndicate is the Alice, near Creston, which was bonded to Mr. Procter by George Alexander. It is two miles from Work-will nomramiet. shortly on the concentrator for tho Highland mino at Ainsworth. J. A. Sayward Sc Company have shipped a large quantity of timber for the building. B. C. Riblet came in from Sandon last night.-71 To states that an important strike has beon .made on the Rcco, and that the find was tho sole topic discussed there yesterday. Development has been under way on the lower level of tho property for a year, and the last ore body was located yesterday. The strike was rich galena and is regarded as one of great importance to the camp. The Wilson Brothers Avill call for tenders within a few days for 30 or' 40 feet of sinking on the main shaft of the Bird's Eye. A crew of men left yesterday for Forty-nine creek to work on the Northern Light property recently bonded to the Imperial Development Syndicate. A'. H. Gracey, the syndicate's engineer, Avill go out to the claims to lay out the work today.. ---_____. DAVIS WAS A SCHOOL MATE The Best Man in 3000. It will be of interest to Nelsonites to learn that S. S. Taylor, Q. C, of this city, was a classmate and intimate friend of Webster Davis, assistant secretary of the interior for tho United States, who has gained great notriety during the last few flays through the charge that lie solicited recruits iu the United States to fight m the ranks of the Doer forces a gainst the British. In isSOandJSS7 Mr. Taylor was a student at tho University of Michigan. Davis attended the samo institution, and the two were room mates, and presidents of rival university societies. During this period they formed a friendship which lasted for several years after thoir school days ended. Mr. Taylor describes Davis as a quiet, self-contained chap, with ability which caused hiiii to be .acknowledged as tho cleverest student of the 3000 atthe university." Davis had a genius for oratory, and Mr. Taylor believes that tho anti-English views Avhich led him to espouse the Boer- cause, were the growth of years. RIFLE MEET ARRANGEMENTS Made Last Evening-.
