If re- the tlie ALDERMAN HILLYER WANTS AN Expression of Opinion "by the People. Alderman Hillyer's music hall bylaw was not reconsidered at last evening's meeting of the city council. When the bylaw was called alderman Hillyer made a speech explaining his object iu introducing the bylaw, and added since thei'e liad been considerable opposition rjiiscd against its passage he would prefer that the bylaw be submitted to the people and their verdict taken as to whether there should be a music hall in Nelson or not. Alderman McKillop called alderman Hillyer's attention to the fact that it would be impossible to conduct a music hall under the terms of the proposed bylaw and make any money out of it. The conditions imposed by the bylaw were such that anyone who attempted to run a music hall under them would luive to evade its provisions to make any money. Mayor Neelands welcomed the proposal to submit the bylaw to the people jis a happy way out of the difficulty, lie said that he hud been in favor of the bylaAV but lie had found that from two- thiids to thice-fqui tlis of the people of the city were opposed to it. In view of this the only vote he would give upon the matter wouid be in favor of submitting the bylaw to the people. This was agreed to without dissent, and those in charge of petitions against \/\ the bylaw filed cut of the chainbei agjiiu ' without presenting. Alderman Becj-'s bylaw for closing the biuber shops on Sunday was then cjilled for reconsideration aud final passage. Aldeunan Hillyer, who fought the bylaw jit every pievious stage, switched over and moved the reconsideration and final adoption, which was agi'eed to. The effect of this will be that from now on it will be an offence for jmy one to shave or be shaved iu a barber shop in Nelson on Sunday. The reports of the finance and public woiks committees were lejul and adopted. The former lecommended the payment of the current accounts. The leport of the public woiks committee le- commended (1) the construction of tv sewer in the alley from Cedar street east iu block 30 and through blocks S and 15 in Addition A; (2) that an estimate be obtained as to the cost pf necessary sti'eet lights on tho alternating system ; itnd (li) that sewer connection be made fiom the city hall and fireball, and lavatories be placed in both buildings. The belated communication of tlie Nelson Tramway Compar*y with iexpect to the closing of the present roadway from the .eastern limits of the city to Oak street in the Hume addition wjis read. Alderman Hillyer expressed the opinion that the council should do something to prevent the tramway company from closing up the road. He moved that the mayor appoint a committee to go into tlie matter Jind see what arrangement"- could be made. The mayor, however, took the view that it, was a nuitter outside the province of the city council Jind if the business men of the city were interested in keeping the load open they could deal diiectly with either the tiam- way company or the Nelson &Forb Shep- pai'd Railway Company. A sc'jond communication was read from the tiamwtiy company protesting against the manner in which the company's track ou Water street and at the corner of Stanley street and Mines road was being nndermined respectively by the local gas company and the city waterworks extension. This matter was referred to the city engineer. With respect to the employment of provincial government prisoners hi the breaking-of " stone-for- the-city~streets,~ mayor Neelands reported that government agent Turner stated that in the event of the city paying for the services of a guai d and supplying the tools, the labor of the prisoners could be utilized L; Mie city for one month on trial. Macdonald & Johnson wrote asking for a settlement of Mrs. Gilbert's account iigaiust tho city for hospital treatment. The communication was laid over for two weeks awaiting the action of tho provincial government. Fred Elliot wrote jiskiug the city for #5 spent in fixing up the recreation ground after the use of the same by the circus. -As the city had a, guarantee from J. E. Amiable that the ground would bte left in good shape, he "will bo i.sked to pay the amount or stiind suit. The Waterous Engine Company wrote offering the city a discount of five per c >ut off the list price for engines if the machine was ordered by telegraph befoie the company's annual stock taking. The engine will not be ordered for the pi'esent. 0. F. Efcter wrote Jislcing the city for compensation, through the road along the pipe line from Cottonwood creek being made impassjible. The matter was referred to the city engineer to report upon the condition of the road. The smelter band made a verbal quest for financial assistance from cify. The matter was referred to city solicitor. The bylaw amending bylaw No. 15 which imposes a tax upon fire insurance companies wjis called for reconsideration and filial adoption. The bylaw reduces the annual tax, which tire insurance companies doing business in this city sluill I jay, from $200 to $100. The reconsideration was moved by alderman Hillyer j ^piis PUBLISHED AT* NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA. TUESDAY MOENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1899. DAILY (BY MAIL) $5 A YEAR; WEEKLY, $2. and seconded by aldermali McKillop, the general opinion of the council being that tho insurance companies had uot reduced rates iu the business portion of the city as gi-eatly as they should have done. Alderman McKillop's bylaw amending the waterworks bylaw so that it conforms to the provisions of tho Municipal Clauses Act with respect to the installation and 'maintenance of service pipes from the,city inaius to the side lines of private property was put through its several readings without dissent. Baring in England. London, November 6.���Ardor won the Brownlow nursery stakes, Rumbling NEWS BY MAIL AND TELEGRAPH A telegram has been received by superintendent Hussey at Victoria from police officer .Tames Bain tit the 150-Mile House, stating tluit McBi ide, the man who robbed a safe in Cjiriboo of about $5000 some time ago, has been captured. Officer Bain expresses no doubt as to his having the right man. The mines at Rossland shipped 0106 tons of ore last week from five mines, namely, War Eagle 2550 tons, Le Roi 233(5 tons, Center Star 930 tons, Iron Mtisk 270 tons, and the Virginia 20 tons. The ore was worth in the neighborhood of '$100,000. II.M.S. Crescent will convoy the Sardinian to Capetown. At Sydney, Cape Breton, the captain of the Sardinian wjill receive instructions to this effect. The Crescent is the flagship of the North American squadron. The Dodge telephones arc to be placed in Toronto business houses for $2.50 a month and in private residences for $9 a year. Vancouver is having a rather warm time with the police, council, gamblers tind the sky pilots. The chief of police, according to resolutions passed at a special meeting of the council last week, will either have to stop .all gambling in the city or quit his job. The chief had better quit. Of the half hundred men imported from Seattle and other places to work in the Payne mine, only two have gone to woik. Both were Italians. The Yiile Lumber Company of Greenwood has ceased to exist. It is understood tluit the Kootenay-Boundary lumber trust; so long talked of, will take over the business next week. Ten of the thirteen Ccour d'Alene miners who were tried in tlie United States court at Moscow, Idaho, for "obstructing the United States mails when tlie Bunker Hill and Sullivan mills were blown up last spring, weie found guilty. The ten convicted men are Dennis O'Rourke, Arthur Wallace, Henry Mar- oni, John Lucinetti, C. R. Bnrres, Francis Butler, Ed Abinola, P. F. O'Dounell, Mike Mtilvoy, Louis Salla. Those not convicted wei'e F. W. Garrett, Fred Shaw and W. V. Bundren. An appeal will be taken to the circuit court. State elections occur in Ohio, Nebraska, Kentucky, and a number of other states tomoriow. The indications point to a decided Republican victory. The pros- peiity of the country, coupled with the unpopularity of the anti-expansion principles clnirapioned by Democratic leaders, tells the story. It is understood that a company has about been formed in Greenwood for the purpose of erecting and operating a $20,- 000 brewery in Eholt.���The favorable po-- sition of Eholt in relation to the various mining camps and towTns of the Boundary no doubt dictated the choice of Eholt. The man Quigley, arrested Jit the Loop lust week by provincial constable McLeod on a charge of murder committed last summer at Lacombo, Albei'ta, was let go a few days ago, the authorities there having sent woul that there was not sufficient evidence to hold him on the charge. Quigley's sister, wife of the murdered man, has made a confession which alters tho complexion of the case, hence the release of Quigley. Fifteen people were injured by au explosion at the carbide works iu Ottawa yesterday. Among the injured is chief Provost of the firo brigade. The origin of the explosion was due to fire.

No word has been received at Ottawa from the war office regarding the second Canadian contingent, but a reliable authority says the delay is no indication tliat the offer will not be siccepted. Newfoundland's offer to send half her constables witJi the second contingent was warmly z-eceived tit Ottawa. MANY BUMOBS, BUT 10 NEWS THE BOERS SEEM TO BE GETTING THE BEST OF IT IN NATAL. London, November 7.���Tho war office announced .at midnight that no despatches had. been received beyond those already made public, and that nothing further, would be heard before noon today. Thus, not a solitary official item of news has been posted for nearly forty- eight hours. This luis given rise to a crop of rumors: that Ltidysmith's ammunition is exhausted; that general White is mortally wounded, and that both facts are being concealed; and tluit other unlucky happenings have taken place. For all of these reports there is absolutely no foundation. At the same time the Britisher has had little to stimulate him within the last twenty-four hours except the news of the confident attitude of the Ladysmith garrison and its slight successes last Thursday aud Friday. Advices from other parts of South Africa Jire distinctly unpalatable, and everything points to a critical sitiuition in Natal and the northern portions of Cape Colony, likely to grow more acute until general White is either relieved or decisively defeats the Boers. Nobody dares to think of capitulation. Rather than that, he is exjaected as a last resort, if Ladysmith becomes untenable, to make a desperate effort to cut his Avay through the Boers back into lower Natal and join hands with the garrison there, which is now almost certain to be reinforced by the first arrivals of the army corps from England, to be pressed forward to renew' touch with him. It is generally assumed, however, that general White, with the aid of the naval guns, will be able to cope with any bombardment, and the idea that the Boers could take Ladysmith by assault is scouted as absurd. The defense then depends on the uninterrupted working of the naval guns. Right here rises the important question, upon which the dispatches have thrown little light, whether the naval guns, which themselves only arrived tit the last moment, have with them sufficient ammunition to reply to a bombard ment lasting possibly several weeks. If not, it is hardly likely that works exist in a small town like Ladysmith for easting the special shell needed for the 4.7 gun, and, moreover, there i.s no mention of stores of lyddite at Ladysmith for recharging these shells. Meanwhile* vague remarks in the dispatch pbintrto the impending' arrival 'of' further big Boer guns from Johannesburg, to be mounted among the hills within range of Ladysmith. Such considerations explain the anxiety felt regarding general White's movements and position, not only by the public, but in official circles. The British retirement to Estcourt has given the impression that it is intended to make a stand there. Estcourt is the last important town between the Boers and the capital of Natal, and if the Boers sweep past Estcourt, nothing can stop them from laying siege to Pietermaritz- burg, which cannot be expected to make a protracted defence, while its fall would be a tremendous blow to British prestige throughout South Africa. Already the British regiments out of Colenzo have given the Boers au opportunity to make a bid for the active support of the disaffected Dutch in Natal by proclaiming the annexation of the upper Tugela section. Thus far, the Dutch colonists seem to have confined their sympathies with the inA'ading Boers to a platonic emotion. Except for surreptitious assistance, there is no evidence that they have yet joined the Boers in any appreciable number. The British newspapers publish a list of the transports due to arr ive at Capetown from today. According to this, some 20,000 men should l each the Cape by the end of next Aveek; but the admiralty issued a warning last evening to the effect that no disappointment must be felt by the public if the transports should not arrive at the dates mentioned, dates which, the war office says, are " based in many cases on too sanguine expectations."

Before the evacuation AA'as decided upon, the enemy decided to cut off our outposts. The Durban light infantry tind a forciTof Diiblin~firsileers~Aveire sent to the relief of the outposts, and a brisk fight ensued. The Boers Avere lepulsed, leaving thirteen dead. Twenty Boer horses were killed and the others stampeded. The chief motive of withdrawal, hoAvever, Avas that the long range guns of the Boers has made the position untenable. No orders Avere received for retirement. While retirement Avas in progress the Natal volunteers of Fort Wyleh had great difficulty iu getting JiAAtiy their nine-pounder in the dark. They Aveie advised to spike tlie gun, but a. ere exceedingly tuiAvilling to do this, ic-jolving to make a determined effort to take it Avith them. While they Ave re running the gun on its carriage <1oavii a hill the ropes broke, and tlie gun aud carriage ran on, the latter being smashed at the bottom of the incline. Nothing daunted, the plucky fellow, undertook to ctmy the Aveupon itself, Avhich had not been damaged, and they got it here safely. The Boers shelled Coienso camp at daAA n today, being apparently luinAVtvre of tho evacuation. They looted the stores,, but did not harm the bridges, saying they AA'ould Avant the railway themselves. The Avomen and children here are croAvding the trains bound for Pietermar- itzburg and Durban. Estcourt, Natal, November 4.���It i.s reported that the Boeis lost 800 in killed, wounded and captured in Thursday's battle on Tatham's farm, near Ladysmith. Noon.���A reliable messenger has just ai rived from Ladysmith, passing the Boer lines during the night, avIio repoits that hejiA-y fighting occurred on Thursday around Ladysmith. The hottest engagement avjis ou George Tiithain's farm, on the Orange Free State side of Besters. The British drove the Boers back to their camp. Tho enemy suffered great loss, and thirty mounted Boers were captured. .The fighting a\ as rcbumed on Friday, the Boei'S filing from Nosdwathsham, a hill near Pepworth's farm. Again they were diiven back Avith loss upon their camp. A large force under John Wes&eis, Avith artillery, has taken up a position on the left of Beacon, locating on the Woodhouse,,Picciones aud Langva- racht farina, facing Besters, aud a small command is now encamped on the soutli side of Pieters station, commanding the railway. The Boeis haA'e torn up the culverts of the railway near Pieters station and haA'e burned the Avooden partitions. No damage has yet been done at Coienso. The houses, stores, ra.il- Avay and iron bridges remain intact. The messenger says he heard that the Boers Avould be in Coienso today (Saturday) and that the volunteers AA'ere leaving. Much regret is felt at the unnecessary alarm being created at Maiitzburg, -when there is no need for it. The Natal naval corps Avith guns Avill return to Maritzburg today-t3 reassure the inhabitants: False in Every Kespect. Berlin, November 7.���Commenting upon a rumor from Amsterdam that Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic representative of the Transvaal in Europe, had declared that the intervention of France, Russia and Germany in the Ti'ansvaal avjis now assured, the KolnizeheZeitung says: "We do not know Avlnit Dr. Leyds may havo said, but the matter of his supposed statement is false in every respect. Neither France or Russia luis shown the slightest inclination, either Avith or Avithout Germany, to settle tlie South African question on the oider of the day." Awaiting Keinforcements.

Victoria, Novembei 0.���[Special to The Tribune].���Alderman Kinsman made a sensational .statement to the city council tonight that the object of the residents of Victoria West in inviting the mayor and aldermen to a public meeting on Thursday next is to tar and feather them. If not the Avhole board, he felt sure that this treatment was in store for himself, and he advised refusing the invitation. This suggestion carried, though other members repudiated any fear of tar. Victoria West people are indignant at the closing of the Craigfiower road,which incidentally will improve alderman Kins-, man's property. SIFTON'S ASSISTED IMMIGRANTS In a speech made in Winnipeg last Aveek minister of the interior Sifton, in extenuation of his policy of bringing in pauper immigrants from Europe, had this to say: " Up to tho time he took office he never heard any objection to population. Now, however, a certain section of the press had objected to the immigrants and had tried to find reasons against them. As to the Doukhobors and Galicians, they had only been brought here after careful investigation by good men, and he AA'as perfectly satisfied, and Avorrld stake his reputation that they Avould make good settlers. He Avanted it taken down that he had said that in five years there Avouid not be a Avholesale man in Winnipeg who Avould say that the policy of bringing in tliese people Avas a mistake. There had come in 7303 Doukhobors at a cost of $7.01 per head; 15,909 Galacians at a cost of $4 91 per head; Avhile all the immigrants of the last three years cost on an average $9.03 per hejid, so that they had spent more upon white settlers than foreigners." The sequel is furnished in the folloAV- ing item from the Medicine Hat NeAVs of the same date: "The coal miners at Leth- bridge, according to the Macleod Gazette, threatened to go on strike last week, AA'anting an increase of Avages. Sixty Doukhobors were ready to take up the Avoi-k if the miners Avent out. Ten members of the Northwest Mounted Police have been, since the first of the AA'eek, under orders foi Lethbr idge service." And further illustrated by the folIoAV- ing from the Toronto Star: "The National Council of Women, at its closing session in Hamilton, Ontario, yesterday, decided *co raise a fund to loan to the Doukhobors. Mrs. Fitzgibbon related her experience on a recent visit to the Doukhobor settlement, and said money Ava.5 badjy needed to help them along." "* City's Financial Statement for October. TLl.Ct.IPlb.

Why justifiable ? The mine managers of the Slocan are disputing Avith the mine Avorkers over ji question of Avages, tho workers demanding $3.50 a day and tho managers willing to pay but .$& Surely tlie diU'ereiices call be ad- jvisted without bringing an undesirable class of people into- the country. Were a difference to arise betAveen the managers and the dealers iu poAvder, or the dealers in mining timbers,: or the dealers in drill steel, over the price of any of these articles, Avould the managers be -justified in purchasing inferior poAvder, or timbers, or steel ? They Avould not be, find they ai'e not justified in importing men into the country that do not make laAv-abiding residents, and Avho seldom become citizens. The Tribune is of opinion tluit mayor Neelands erred in stating that, the city was not concerned in the closing of the road leading to the Nelson & Fort Sheppard depot. The city is concerned- jn, eA'eryroad and trail leading-to' aud from the city, for it is over these roads and ti'ails thatthe people of Nelson either do .business themselves or got the business of, '���men AA'ho Jire dcA'clopiug mines ^tributary to Nelson. The Nelson & Fort Sheppard railway haf;'been an important factor in the upbuilding of the town, and every facility should be giA-en the people avIio of necessity must transact business over that road. The ti'amway people,- no doubt, are acting like hogs iu closing tlie i*oad to the Nelson & Fort Sheppard de- pot���but they tire not acting in any AATay different from corporations that get what they want from a city for nothing. The city should see to it that u road is made, so that traffic Avill not be interrupted betAveen the toAvn and the rail- Avay depots and made at once. The Greemvood Miner, in discussing the threats of minijig-broker McCiuiig of Monti'eal to test the constitutionality of the eight-hour Ijiaa. is in error when it States tluit the supreme court of the United States has pjissed on a like issue and has decided that eight-hour laws ptissed by several, states were unconstitutional. W it is not an error, why has not A. W. McCune of .Salt Lake, Utah, who is a ptirtncr of mining-broker McCuaig in -the Payne mine, in the .Slocan, had the Utah eight.-hour law up.set by the court of final resort iu the United Slates? Tlie truth is that tho supreme courts of the seA-erjil slates litive passed on such laws; some of them declaring the Ijiav to be constitutiontil, AVhilo others declared just the opposite.

Their masters make an absurd statement, and they take it up and repeat it so often that they imagine they are making statements of fact. Patriotism Used For Party Purposes. Toionto .Star. The reA'erses suffered by. sir George White have already given rise to ji demand for a second Canadian *coi7tingent, but it is just as Avell not to ovei'do tho thing or the world may get the .idea that Canadian patriotism i.s of the frothy A'ar- iety. Tho proposal is a Conservative trick, designtited to put the government "into a hole." Of course the gOA'ern- ment Avould justly refuse to raise a second contingent at this stage of eA-ents, and the opposition Avould Avhoop it up for tho old flag and denounce the Liberals as traitors. Contingents fi'oin the colonies Avere not AAranted or 21c- cepted by Britain merely as a matter of of numbers; they Avere designed simply to show the Avorld the loytilty of the colonies, aud jis a hint of Britain's vast re- seiwe strength. Hawing sent contingents, the ejnpjj-e's object has been accomplished. It is pertinent in A'iew of this agitation for a second contingent based on the ejirly British defeats,- , to 'recall the fact that the bulk ..of the Biitish forces are still : Jit sea, and tluit long Jigo it Avas admitted that early in the Avar British reA-erses Avould be the J'ule. The expected has happened, but there is no use of ���groAving. hysterical over it. The Boers hiiA-e 20,000 men at Ladysmith, tind general White had 12,000, and it is nsit- urjil that the British should not Avin a A'ictory. But Biitain has euroute, Jibout to start, over 7.5,000 troops, and they.Avill be more than sufficient, according to present prospects, to cope Avitli- the Trans- .vaal .forces. It is time to cease using patriotism as a party dodge. A Menace to the City's Existence. Sandon Paystreak. The latest phase of the sti'ike situation ���the importation of Italian laborers���is a menace to the existence of the city of Sandon, and, for that'matter, to the in- dustrial- Avelfare of every other community in the Kootenay. It is' fill very well for the Mine Owners' Association to take Avhatevei" stand they choose on inatters political, but a. hen they undertake to displace British subjects ������with these ignorant, degenerate Jiliens they OA'erstep the mark and threaten the business of many Avho are dependent for their Arery-existence oii'the high-class Avorkmen who ., have built, the Slocan. Such a programme Will not be quiescently accepted,by the citizens of- the Slocjtn, and if the mine OAvners find, the affair jis- sumihga national importance and theni- .seh'cs held up to execration throughout tho length and breadth ofthe land they may sooth .their Avounded sensibilities Avith the reflection that A\'hat"e*.er they may suffer at the hands of an outraged, public and ji disparaging press luive been brought on by their own actions.

CURRENT RATE OK INTEREST PAID aTroclaiviatiqn that is full Of Higli-Sounding Platitudes. Nisw York, November (5.���Tlie consul- general of the Orange Free State in tliis city gave out today the full text of president Sfcoyn's proclamation culling on the Orange Free State Boers to support the Transvaal. The proclamation readh as follows: " Burghers of tlie Orange Free Slate : Tiie time which we had so much desired to avoid, the moment when we jis ft nation ai'e compelled, with arms, to oppose injustice and shameless violence, is Jtt hand. Our sister republic to the north of the Vaal river is about to be attacked by an unscrupulous enemy, who for many years litis prepared himself and sought pretexts for the violence of which he is now guilty, whose purpose it is to destroy the existence of tlie Afrikander race. "With our sister republic we are not only bound by ties of blood, of sympathy and of common interests, but also by formal treaty, which has been necessitated by circumstances. This treaty demands of us that we assist, if she should be un.-ju.stly attacked, which we unfortunately for a long time have had too much reason to expect. We therefore passively look on while injustice is done her, tind while tilso our own dearly bought freedom is endangered, but are called as men to resist, trusting the Almighty, t firmly believing that He will never permit injustice and unrighteousness to triumph. Now that we thus resist a powerful enemy, with whom it has always beeu our honest desire to live iii friendship, notwithstanding injustice and wrong done by him to us in the past, we solemnly declare in the presence of Almighty God that we Jire compelled thereto by the injustice done to our kinsmen, and by the consciousness that the end of their independence will make our existence as an independent sttite of no significance, and that their fate, should they be obliged to bend under an overwhelming power, will goon afterward be our own ftxte. Solemn treaties havo not protected our sister republic agftinst annexation, against conspiracy, against the claim of tin abolished suzerainty, against continuous oppression and intoi-fereuco, and now against a renewed attack which aims only at her downfall. Our own unfortunate experiences in the past have also made it sufficiently clear to us, that we cannot rely on the most solemn promises and agreements of Great Britain when she has at her helm "a-government prepared- wr trample-oir treaties, to look for feigned pretexts for every violation of good faith by her committee. This is proved, among other tilings, by tho unjust aud unlawful British convention, after we liad overcome an armed and barbarous bltick tribe in our eastern frontier, as also by the forcible appropriation of the dominion over part of our territory, where tlie discovery of diamonds had cjuised the desire for this appropriation, although contrary to existing treaties. The desire Jind intention to trample on Our rights, as an independent and sovereign nation, notwithstanding a solemn convention existing between this state and Great Brittiin, have also been more than once, and are now again shown by the present'government, by giving expressions to public documents to an unfounded claim of parii- mountey over the whole of South Africa, and therefore overthis state. With regard to the South Africjin Republic, Great Britain has moreover refused until the present to allow her to regain her original position iu respect to foreign affairs, a position wliich she liad lost iu no sense by her own faults. The original intention of conventions to which the republic had consented under pressure of circumstances had been perverted and continually been used by tlie present Bi'itish administration as a means for the practice of tyranny and of injustice, and among other things, for the support of a revolutionary propogtinda within the republic in favor of Great Britain. And while no redress has been offered, jis justice demands, for injustice done to the South African Republic on the part of bad British government, and while no gratitude is exhibited for the magna- mity shown at the request of the British government to British subjects who had Is qow prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin,, B. C, and Dawson City, Yul^or* District. forfeited under the laws of the republic, tlieir lives and property, yet no feeling of shame litis prevented tlie British government, now that gold mines of immense value have been discovered in the country, to make claims on the republic, the consequence of which, if allowed, will be tliat those who or whose forefathers have saved the country from barbarism and have won it for civilization with their blood and their tears will lose their control over the interests of the country, to which they are justly entitled according to divine and human love. The consequence of these claims would be, moreover, that the greater part of the power will be placed in the hands of those who, foreigners by birth, enjoy the privilege of depriving the country of its chief treasure, while they have never shown any loyalty but to a foreign government. Besides, the inevitable consequence of the acceptance of tliese claims would be that the independence of the countiy as a self-governing independent sovereign republic would be irreparably lost. For years Bi'itish troops in great numbers have been placed on the frontiers of our sister republic in order to compel her by fear to accede to the demands which would be pressed upon her, and in order to encourage revolutionary disturbances and the cunning plans of those whose greed for gold is the cause of their shameless undertakings. Those plans have now reached their clinuix in the open violence to whieli the present British government now resorts. While Ave readily acknowledge the honorable character of thousands of Englishmen who lotithe such deeds of robbery and wrong, Ave cannot but abhor the shameless breakings of treaties, the friendly pretexts for the transgression of law, the violation of international hvw tmd of justice, and the numerous right-rending deeds of the Britisn statesmen Avho Avill iioav force 11 Avar upon the South African Republic. On their heads be the guilt of the blood and may just providence award' as they deserve. Burghers of tho Orange Free State, arise as one man against the oppressor and the violator of right.

THE PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE OF THESE SHARES IS TO GO INTO THE COMPANY'S TREASURY TO MEET PAYMENTS UPON DEVELOPMENT ACCOUNT THESE SHARES AR.E DESIRABLE BECAUSE The Noonday is virtually a developed mine, The work done upon the property consists of a main tunnel, which has been run in on the vein for 225 feet, and the vein where cross-cut shows an average width of from 8 to 10 feet. The vein matter is made up of about 20 inches of clean ore, the remainder being composed chiefly of concentrating ore which samples 60 ounces silver. From the main tunnel level there has been shipped 520 tons of clean ore, which netted the company, after deducting freight and treatment charges, over $1000 to the car of from 18 to 20 tons. From the main tunnel an upraise has been driven for 100 feet and a stope 75 feet long opened up. About 150 feet below the main tunnel a cross-cut is being run. This tunnel is now in 125 feet and it is estimated that the lead exposed in the main tunnel will be reached in another 30 feet. A force of 18 men is at present employed upon the property, all but three of whom are employed on development. The company has another three cars of clean ore ready for shipment. Application for shares can be made to Messrs. Galilei- & Wilson Solicitors for the Company, Broken qill Block, Nelson strife, to which we are now driven, have care to commit no deed unworthy of'a Christian and unworthy of a Burgher of the Orange Free State. Let jus look forward with confidence to a fortunate end pf this conflict, trusting to that higher power without whose help human weapons are of no avjiil. May God bless our arms under his banner. We advance to battle for liberty and for fatherland. (Signed) M. T. Steyn, State President." Schreiner is to Blame. Toronto TolcKi'imi. Canadian admirers of Hon. TV. P. Schreiner, premier of Cjipe Colony, will not recognize that gentleman as ono of the chief causes of the present danger "to British power in Soutli Africa. The loyalty of Mr. Schreiner and his Afrikander government has been open to question throughout the earlier stages of the present trouble. The Salisbury government had to consider the Schreiner ministry and its objections to the landing of an adequate force in South Africa. Between the pro- Boer in South Africa and the pro-Boer Liberals iu London the hands of her majesty's government were tied, and any disaster due to the lack of adequate force in South Africa will be a result of these causes.

The compact that existed between alderman Hillyer and alderman Fletcher is becoming strained. The alderman from the West ward cannot be depended on in a'tight place, unless he himself is to be the beneficiary. The alderman faom the P]a=>t ward depended on alderman Fletcher to help him pass his music hall bylaw, but when the time for action ariived the smooth alderman from the West ward was absent from the council chamber. It is now said that alderman Hillyer will see alderman Fletcher in Jericho before he will support him for mayor. BUSINESS MENTION.
