New York, January 27.���Isaa N. Ford, the London correspondent of the New-York Tribune,, in his special cable letter this morning gays: Londoners, since the queen's death, have been appalled by/ the inadequacy of all methods for giving expression to their sense of the loss sustained by the empire. For this reason, the king's decision that the most impressive scene of a stately military funeral sbAUbe enacted in the capital is we,|Hf<>Ein-<,.-,Sy-* When the last medical lid^^_^w^��4Rfe came from Osborne* the theatres [were closed, church bells were tolled here and there for a.few minutes and the streets were, silent.. Next Ciine the king's entry, with the proclamation'accompanied by medieval mummery "which . was carried through with a rush an hour before it was. expected.. Beyond reading the black-lined daily papers Londoners had no means' of expressing their devotion to the" memory^ of- - ttieir ^lamented' sovereign?; If the houses and shop-fronts had-been heavily draped with black, like the streets of American cities after the death of president Lincoln or president " Garfield,' there would ��� have been a partial -> consciousness" that the queen's capital wasf not neglect- ' ing her in'death, but-"narrow strips of black in -window-panes make a meagre "display^of public grief, and this is ttie traditional English- idea of nationaVmourning.1 *' vv . " Tlie passage, of /the^rpyal.cortege^ over the route to Baddington from Buckingham, so often traversed by thejqiieen in life, will enable a vast, concourse ,of spectators to stand-' with uncovered heads and pay the last tribute of-reverent homage. > It will be an impressive antithesis to the queen's jubilee/ ,A mighty fleet with minute guns will witness the opening of the,.stately obsequies and emperors, kings and princes will mourn together at "Windsor at the close, but midway Londoners will claim their queen and empress . for themselves, and* watch in silence the solemn pageanfeg Strangely enough*- while. London^ . is,waiting for tliis military funeral and'is unwilling to take note of ~,aught eke, the young queen of Hol- ' land, whose career in its opening scenes,offers so striking a parallel to the early life of Victoria, is.ap- _^proaching_her_niariiage_Ywith_her. prince consort. Tomorrow the banns for her mariiage with duke Henry will be publicly called aud in honor of the happy event that beautiful city, The Hague,' will be splendidly illuminated and they will drive through the streets with Wilhelminaand receive the ovations of the-joyous multitude. The raar- . riage festivities will begin two days after the burial of Victoria and there will be a week of light-hearted Dutch gaiety with gala nights'at the theatres, diplomatic receptions, serenades in front of the palace and ca unique ceremony in the church attended by many princes. The marriage is popular because, like Victoria's, it is a love match. Wil- helmina's subjects would have been better pleased, if the bridegroom * had not been a german prince, but duke Henry has a manly presence and an air of distinction' and has already won the hearts of the queen's subjects. i. The king's ringing order to the navy is fresh proof of his capacity for saying the right thing in the right way. He has informed the Masonic officials that ,he will remain grand master. The duke of Connaught is also a Mason, but not the duke of Cornwall. The duke of Clarence was a Mason. The health of the duke of Cambridge now at Osborne is most infirm, and thi*.*��:��eeu'9 >death greatly disspir- ited him- It was with him as a cousin of her own age that the young queen danced at the first ball at Buckingham palace after her accession sixty-four years ago. /Emperor, .of.Germany Is Popular. The German emperor, whose dispatch to president Kruger was the signal for ordering but a flying squadron five years ago, is now for Englishmen the most popular continental sovereign. If he had not acted .well during the Transvaa war and also become England's ally in China, his devotion to the queen would have removed all traces of former prejudice and resentment. He is now cheered almost as heartily as the king and his virtues are extolled by the English press. Yesterday h'e met the German crown prince at Portsmouth, and the Hohenzollern, now lying' off-Osborne, .will speedily have'* a great German squadron behind her to join- the British fleet in a final tribute to the queen.' If the emperor rides through the streets of London bn Saturday only the solemnity of the funeral pageant will ��� prevent an extraordinary, demonstration of popular* enthusiasm. This is his birthday and his present from king Edward has been a baton as field marshal- of the British army, for which he has thanked the duke of Cambridge, the oldest field marshal, and in order to Wffi^iaQ.t&te timely recognition of lfP%$wiw of his devotion to the -^dr^&��-"^^^io9t famous field marshal in the service will spend Sunday with him at Osborne. Other motives are assigned for general Roberts' visit; notably the arrangements of the details of the military funeral in London and at Windsor, but .that would be a matter within the" range of "ordinary Aldershot tacticians. The German** emperor ^wlien he came'" to * England a?year 'ago, was 'bent- upon''seeing 'Mr. .Chamberlain, and "had - two protracted meetings with him. ' Lord Roberts is, the - Englishman who now interests him for, it ~ is from the. commander-in-chief in South Africa that he can learn yiie' principal lessons of the Boer cam-" paign and their bearings upon 'defensive ' -warfare!!, " The campaign 'has fallen out of view - during the- last week-.of mourning." Nothing of real importance has happened in the field. The- Boer commandos?1 are still moving about without ap parent! .motive i,ih ^��!ape ;_'Cqlony,'t Hei-tzog making westward ,for ** the sea"and Kritsinger,,, further east, hanging about the' approaches of Mersel -bay." - Colonial volunteers are massing against them and barring their progress." . Griqua-** laud has v been- very , quickly cleared. Knox- and" Cunnigham have been successful in various skirmishes and the threatened Boer raid into Natal has**��� been, deferred. The capture bf a British train at Fourteen Streams and the derailment of a -pilot" engine near' Balmoral are the freshest of the Boer exploits, but hostilities are on. a small scale. A. combined "attack of several commandos upon the Del- agoa Bay line may be the result of a Boer council held at, Ermelo and general Kitchener expects it, for he is reinforcing the garrison east ^of Pretoria. " v- ��� "' ' * parliament virtually retains the privilege of regulating the expenditures of royalty and maintaining the dignity of the monarchy according to its own ideas of propriety. The transfer of the ; queen's private estates at Balmoral, Claremont Park, Osborne and elsewhere, has been excepted by two Victorian statutes from the operation' of the regulations of the hereditary crown estates. Taxes and rates have been paid on these private properties, which were left at'the disposal- of .the queen By will-and could not^be merged with the mass of the crown estates inherited from generations of kings.- Osborne has probably been left to princess Louise,of Bat- tenberg, but the disposition 'made of Balmoral is in doubt. The queen's wealth, has always been grossly exaggerated. The value of her personal property" finder the control -of the executors will be moderate, although the veil' of secrecy, may never be removed. She paid her father's debts but received a *��� lai ge bequest from the prince consort. Her savings dur-_ ing her reign have not been nearly so large as ordinarily supposed. As the queen . was an income taxpayer her private estates presumably are liable to the usual death duties., - . his' HONORS FOR THE KAISER IS' NOW A FIELD-MARSHAL " " ENGLAND..'-, OF The'Emperor Gracefully Acknowledges ��� ��� - the Compliment in a Letter ' ��� ~ . to Salisbury. 5'i -=*- Tho-Crown-Eevenues; Referring to the possible action of parliament i in arranging a civil list for the crown aud providing a suitable establishment for the heir to the throne, Mr. Ford says : Parliament after reassembling on St. Valentine's day will be called upon to rearrange the civil list for the crown and to provide a suitable establishment for the heir .to the throne. From the time of Charles II. there has been a' series of te*_> tative efforts on the part of parliament to substitute a definite' grant to the crown for certain portions of its hereditary revenues. William IV accepted a civil list of ��435,000 in lieu of the interest of the crown in the source of public revenue, and there was a similar settlement when the queen's reign opened. The state is virtually a tenant of the crown lands, under a life lease of estates placed under its control, and in, return pays a life income to the sovereign as the civil list. Theoretically, the new sovereign has the right to resume possession of the crown lands when he ascends the throne, but practically he has no choice but to make the best arrangement possible for compensation for a fresh life tenancy on the part of the state. The civil list of William IV was cut down to 385,000 pounds at the opening of the reign of Victoria, bat this was increased after her marriage and she retained the revenue of the duchy of Lancaster, and the prince of Wales that of the duchy of Cornwall. The hereditary revenues -of the crown 'under economical management have" greatly expanded -in- value, so that the sovereign^, wpiildY be; theoretically entitled to a larger civil list, but - Cowes, Isle Jof Wight, 'January 27.���This - morning emperor William received from'the hahd-of- the duke,- of ConnaugHt his* sword on his appointment" as field marshal of the'British army. -"In ;the presence Jof thejiouseholds' of" king- Edward and the" dead queen, as well as .a number of British' and German naval officers, ^ his majesty expressed great delight at the appointment. He will entertain king Edward and the members of the royal family at tea on" the imperial yacht Hohenzollern. Today, he celebrated his birthday at Osborne and '^received 'congratulations'from the members of the Ger-. man embassy in London. , ~ ��� '. Cowes, January 27.���After ��� the memorial services in - Whippingham church today emperor William and the crown prince went direct to the Hohenzollern receiving a salute of 21-guns. His majesty took luncheon there, --the guests including lord Kintole, lord Carrington, who is attached to_his_majesty'sji_8taff_jvhile_ in England, the members of the German embassy and others. Crown prince William proposed' the emperor's health, which was drunk with "Hochs." The kaiser then drank the health of king Edward, the entire company standing. Then his majesty donned the uniform of a British admiral to receive the visitors who might call to tender congratulations. Among those who** called were king Edward in the uniform of an admiral, the duke of Connaught, prince Christian and other royal personages, lord Roberts and Mr. Broderick, all in full uniform. Tiie emperor received the king at the gangway. The yacht was'rolling heavily, owing to the gale, so that the queen and the royal ladies were prevented from accompanying the king. After tea had been .served the royal party returned to Osborne .house, where emperor William and the crown prince immediately returned the* visit and dined with the king, :' In addition tq the'sword of a field marshal the king has presented to emperor William, already a Knight of the Garter, the insignia of the order in diamonds. The fact that this gift was ordered by the late queen with the 'intention of presenting it on the occasion of the kaiser's birthday gave a pathetic interest to the presentation. Emperor William learning of the king's intention to appoint him a field marshal sent the following telegram to lord Salisbury: "The king, my august uncle, confers upon' me the rank :of a field marshal in his army and informs me that my appointment will' be published on my birthday. ' 1 hasten to apprise you of my deep apprecia tion of so signal la" mark of majesty's affection for me and I rejoice to think that I shall be numbered among those of the highest rank in his majesty's-gallant army. ; " V "WlIaTalAM R." The emperor-'sent a facsimile of the dispatch to'lord 'Roberts. Lord Salisbury replied as follows: "I beg-with _ most profound respect to- tender to" your imperial majesty my thanks'for your telegram and -my,, sincere congratulations upon the/anniversary of your" majesty's ��� birthday and upon the appointment to-the exalted rank of field marshal, "-which my august, sovereign,, the 'fking,- has~'.been' pleased to confer-upon your imperial majesty? and Ilam convinced that your acceptance of the office will give the liveliest' gratification to all classes-of-: the nation j who have been- deeply- touched by the consideration and -, kindly * feeling exhibited r���in.j your gracious visit upon this^solemn" occasion." ." -��� Lord Roberta ^responded in the following terms:- : '-��� J " I have the honor to acknowledge the ^receipt ,o_'"-' your majesty's gracious telegram giving me joyful tidings that. ; his majesty king Edward has 'conferred upon your majesty the, rank of field marshal.

Her long life���a strangely sorrow- burdened���one is ended. From her earthly dominions, she has gone to receive a crown that shall be eternal." At the First Baptist church the services were held in the morning and there were a large number present. The interior of the church was tastily draped with flags and mourning of black and purple. The choir rendered special music which was quite appropriate for the occasion. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Morgan took for his subject "The Immortality of Love" and during the sermon many kind*words relating to her majesty's life and glorions reign were spoken. At St. Paul's Presbyterian church the memorial services which were held in the evening were., equally as well attended. The pastor, Rev. P. Wright delivered a most eloquent sermon and throughout much praise was attributed to her late majesty. He. also told of the deep heartfelt grief which not only hangs over the British empire but is manifested throughout the entire world. The choir furnished most excellent music. The draped portrait of the queen and a number of British flags added, to the solemn surroundings. At St." Saviour's church very impressive memorial services were -" -a Kitchener's Reports".

Lord Kitchener confirms the re-^ port that 'the British train with troops and'inilitary stores on board was waylaid and captured at Slijpklip, near Fourteen Streams, last Friday, but says the Boers retired on the.arrival of the armored train sent in pursuit.

President Shaugiinessy, of the Canadian Pacific railway, is in the west endeavoring to effect a flanking movement on his great American rival, "Jim" Hill. One report has it that Shaughnessy will offer a ten cent rate on wheat from Manitoba to lake points, provided the government and people of the prairie province will cast in their lot with the Canadian Pacific in the present struggle for supremacy. Those who are desirous of seeing the Chinese' and Japanese evil checked in this province will be pleased to note that the provincial government has set in motion the machinery for the enforcement of the Labor Regulation Act' which was passed at the last session of the legislature. The provisions of this Act recite that it shall be oillegal for' any company which is confirmed in any special privilege by the legislature of the province to employ in any capacity upon any work such as the building. of any bridge, making or operating any. railway, tramway, turnpike road, telegraph or telephone line, the con- , struetion of any,harbor or any like work, any person who is upable to read the Labor Regulation Act in porno European language. Tiie official Gazette contains notice that all .provincial*-, constables are ap- - pointed officers, for the enforcement of the Act so that there should be a speedy correction of the abuses which are complained of in several portions of the province. The good town of Silverton has got into a tangle with .the Presbyterian Church of Canada through a write-up which the local missionary gave his portion of the home mission field in The Westminster. Write-ups of home mission fields are ever a source of trouble when' they find their way" back to the field;referred to, and. the people of Silvertpn^are^not likely to.make any exception to the rule. The missionary says several hard things about Silverton, much the same as other missionaries have said' about Nelsou, but the telling does not improve the temper of its people. The local paper has taken up the fight, and says the town suffers from too many missionaries; that there are four working in the vineyard, while 'there is not work enough*for oue; and that in any event Silvertonians size up well with their missionaries. ������ - Smelter in the Market. ' Manitoba Free Press. President Shaughnessy, of the C. P. It., interviewed by .a reporter of the Free Press this morning referred to the question of the sale of the Trail smelter. In reply to tlie query as to who is now the owner of the smelter, the president said: "The C. P. R. company still retain possession of the smelter and reports that it has been sold are unfounded. It is certainly true that the smelter has been placed on the market and for these reasons : The C. P. R. purchased the smelter as an experiment and to bring about a cheaper handling of the products of the mines in the vicinity, both in the transportation and the treating of them. We were made to understand that the then proprietor, Heinze, was asking too much. They asked us for cheaper rates and we were willing to do this but had nothing to guard against an increase in smelting charges. We took over the smelter and built a railroad. - The original charges were, I believe, $11.50 per ton. We reduced that to $8.50, including treating and freight, and _vgain reduced it down to $50.50 per ton. We were told that when thit\ was brought about the output front the mines would be about 2500 tons per day. It has never been more than 700 tons so far as I know, arid when a further reduction in our charges was asked for, we decided. to put back the smelter on the market and let the mine owners see if' they could get cheaper rates than we were able to give. This is the whole matter." "It is reported that Mackenzie & Mann have out-bid the Gooderhara- Blackstock syndicate," said the reporter. ''Mackenzie & Mann have nothing to do with it," said > the president, "and, as I said before, we still own the smeltei-." TO INSTRUCT RAILROADERS A Unique School. A special car with a staff of instructors of the. International. Correspondence School, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, arrived in Nelson on Saturday night. It is now on a sidetrack near the Union depot, and will remain here until Wednesday, during which time the instructors will deliver lectures both morning and evening of each day. Although _ this school teaches over thirty branches of study, the instructors who have just come to the city only impart knowledge in connection with railroading. There are. now on the continent of America tf6ver 50,000 students in connection with the railroad department of this school. This is one of six cars, which travel over every system of the continent and stop at the various centers to deliver lectures to the railroad men. There are a large number of railroad men in Nelson and vicinity who will attend the lectures. - A. G.' Kiuyori, late of the Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, is the instructor,' and D.

It seeks to provide permanent employment at a proper wage, to shorten the hours of labor and to prevent public lands and property being appropriated by a crowd of greedy sycophants who have not the least right to absorb them. The spirit of true unionism is not confined to the manual labor. It can embrace all classes as long as they possess the natural human feeling to assist and benefit each other. It was this same spirit that animated the reformers of all ages. Men of the humblest as well as the highest ranks of life have been enlisted in the cause*-and under the banner of liberty and -freedom. The greatest social revolutions that have now passed into history have* ;been accomplished by these men and it is a matter * for great congratulation to know that the strongholds of coercionand tyranny are being undermined and that in the near future the spirit and act of true unionism will find* room to expand itself in every civilized country..

Since the Canadian Pacific 'has bought out the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company's steamers, which operated from Vancouver along the coast, it has beeu rumored that captain Troup was to be appointed to the position of manager of this system. When Mr. Troup was asked concerning the matter, he said: "I have nothing to say concerning it," and further than this he declined to give out any information. It may be that his trip to Montreal is -concerning his promotion. About Beady to Move. The new union depot is now completed except a few minor details, which will'be finished in a day or two. "The local C. P. R. staff, which at present occupy the frame building at the corner of Baker aud Falls streets, could have moved into their new office yesterday but owing to it being the last of the month, the time when there is the most business to transact, they have decided to remain in their old offices until after the first of the month. Tlie telegraph plant is being installed in the train dispatcher's office on the second'floor of the new building, and Mr. Hamilton, who at present has his office at the old station, will move into his new apartments in. a day or two. Resumption of Work. The work upon the coal pockets and sand store rooms which are, to be erected to the west of the new roundhouse has been retarded owing to more important business having to be done. Work upon the building was renewed on Saturday and a large amount of the frame was put in place. Operations will be .continued steadily until the building is completed, which will be in two or three weeks."

Cooke, who is now doing active service in South': Africa, having enlisted with -Strathcona's" Horse. The letter is dated from Bethulie hospital, Orange Free State on December 19th, 1900. It reads as follows.: , -* " "Just a few words to let you know, that I am still alive and intend to live. I think the Boers tried to put me out of action about three weeks ago, but they didii't make it stick. I got a nasty wound in the right knee, but I have nearly recovered. If I ever get a chance I won.'t do a thing to the first Boer that I meet after this. He will get it rubbed in good' and hard. Some of our' boys pulled" three Boers'out of a trench and dragged .them for half a mile by. ropes which had been placed around their-necks. It is needless to say that they did not live long. I don't feel- sorry for them any more wheu I see how mean they are. Why, they think nothing of - shooting you from a house or trenches where they are flying the white flag." A Reply rroin the Qovernpr-General. Ou receipt,of the news .of the queen's funeral on Tuesday morn": ing, Jauuary 22nd, the mayor wired a message of condolence from the citizens of"Nelson to his-majesty king Edward VII.'

January f^Otf^-To:-the mayor of Nelsons I am directed by the governor-general .to inform you that his excellency has - been commanded by his,majesty,therking, to express to-you and; the .citizens of Nelson his .- majesty^s -_ ;>heartfelt thanks for your kind .message of sympathy. .(Signed) .

The application forms to be filled in by those who wish to enlist in the Baden-Powell constabulary in South Africa will not be.ready for the public for some little time.

The< .words ''His majesty" will have ;to be ��� substituted for the words "Her majesty." Just when the new forms will arrive in Nelson is not known. - - OITY_LO0AL_NEWS. _E3I. _B"3TEGRS cfe CO, _^r_B__iSO_sr KASLO &J_J_TI3C3__T STOVES! STOVES! STOVES!
