PROTECT HOME INDUSTRIES OUTLINES TRUE POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT. Operation of Smelters North of the International Boundary Means Work and Prosperity, - Rossland, February 17.���Christopher Foley, the labor leader who unsuccessfully contested the bye- election in Yale-Cariboo district as a straight labor candidate against the nominees of both the old political parties, and who has since been appointed by the Laurier government as the representative of labor on the Chinese-Japanese immigration commission, was interviewed by a Tribune ' representative 'yesterday. - upon the present railway struggle iu East Kootenay,. and its bearing . upon tlie mining, and smelting in-* diistry-1- in Southern "^British** Co- lumbia. _ - .. ' ^ ' ,-'. * \> ;In-the" course of'the interview'Mr.' Foley-was -careful ��to_ say that he could not speak, officially, on- behalf ~of- organized ^"labor " in Southern * * - ** ., - , British Columbia, but from* the fact < thatThe is a' close student' of,.most public questions, and .that his leadership is recognized by organized, labor from Ythe Boundary,., to .East Kootenay,,his^eiews "upon the-pres- ent complication's in the.coal fields,, and what he considers to/be the duty bf the government in the matter, become of interest. ..- <- As to the broad question as to what should be, the' policy of the government with respect to the development of the mineral resources, __ Mr. Foley said he agreed with the views advanced by John Houston in his interview which appeared in the Montreal Star. He - maintained that the charter for the proposed line of railway from the Fernie coal fields should be refused by the government,'not because it was desired by "James J. Hill, nor because it was being -opposed by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, but be- -cause the interests-of-the-country^ demanded its refusal. He held that the construction of such a line of railway would be prejudicial to the welfare _of the province, because, being a part of the Hill system of railways, it would be operated solely in the .interests of United States railway systems, and its chief business would be the carriage into the state of Montana of the coal and coke which the smelters of British Columbia required for the reduction of the ores qf the province; and from the present scarcity of which the British Columbia smelters were forced to curtail their operations. From - a provincial, as well as from a labor standpoint; Mr. Foley said he was convinced that the true policy of the government lay in the direction of encouraging in every manner possible the smelting industry of the province, and in any measures taken to promote this end the government could count upon his hearty support. As matters stand it was manifest that the province did not commence to receive the full benefits which should accompany the development of its mineral resources. Instead of being reduced somewhere in the province the great proportion of the ores of the silver-lead camps was diverted by small feeders of United States railways to United States smelters, and from a purely labor standpoint the province suffered. He was aware that the class of labor generally employed around smelters was rather difficult of organization, but much progress along this line was being made in some of the States, and the same results might be expected in British Columbia as the industry became established. In any event the operation of smelters north of the inter- iiational boundary line meant work, and it followed that the more demand there was for labor in British Columbia the better it would be for the laborers of the province. One of the first essentials to the profitable operation of smelters is a cheap supply of fuel. At present this supply is - drawn., from the Fernie coal fields, and, as is generally known,''the present capacity of- the coal ^company'-has not proven equal to the demand, and it is just possible that for some time to come the demand would keep pace with such increased output as .the coal company could make. Threatening as it did the future Jcoal -supply of th^vBritish" Columbia smelters/ Mr." ^^^^^^^ie consideration of the 7fi^^^^^^^^syears tiine^to'ineet the^demarids' -,of" the local smelters. '������If this coal is!to-be diverted 'from the smelters of 'British Columbia an interval of one, and possibly ^two^or three years, must elapse before any othersource. of supply which may exist' Jcan^W opened up. If some one'must await the practical demonstration^of the coal resources of East Kootenay,- should the people of the province be put to the inconvenience and de-' lay in order''that the', shareholders of the Crow's Nest Pass Coal ��� Com-" pany may make inordindte^profits through thVsale of the 'jcoalj.meas^ measures already'opened to James -negro, astonished the court. -The- judge stated .that Hull had been .killed, while 'attempting^to escape" from Newell's stockade and that he was, not a convict, .but_was- held, a prisoner-under a labor contract that gave the landlord every right' ever claimed bya"r_aster~over slaves. _ Hull had .run-away and:.gone, home, where'he was arrested at the' instance of Newell by^ a -"constable^ and; by_ that-constable- taken_to^ Newell's stockade instead of -to the' jail and turned overf-to*, Newell's- guards. -.Later, when-.-he^again attempted to escape* he Y was killed., JThe'^judge said?'he-' was -informed Ttliat not, only, men ��� but/women and. children were heldMnVthis:bondage."

During the day Mrs. Nation was arrested three different times on charges preferred by the proprietor of the cold storage plant. She was released each, time, and at 6:10 o'clock is marching down Kansas avenue at the head of 500 people, apparently bent on another raid. Steamer's Fate in Doubt. St. Johns, Newfoundland, February 17.���There is now a decided conflict of opinion with reference to the identity of the wreckage near Bacalieu. All who went to the scene on the government tug Ingra- ham assert that the wreckage shows no indications of having belonged to the steamer Lucerne. On the other, hand, the agent who went to the scene insists with equal posi- to know what forces they can spare. ���In commencing his letter to general Chaffee count Von Waldersee says: "Owing to the unsatisfactory nature of the negotiations for police, and also to circumstances rendering such a course desirable, it will probably be necessary to resume military operations on a large "scale, especially toward the west." ~- It is not thought likely that general Chafee One of general' Buller's brigade commanders in the Natal campaign,asserts with an air bf confidence cthat hostilities will be at ari.end.by* Julyifst, and that the" final, skirmishes,will. occur Jn.Stan- derton district^ Tnis forecast inayi not -be ^much more trustworthy than scores of guesses that have preceded it, but a spirit of optimism' now prevails among, British officers and the end oLthelwar-is currently believed -to be^i inYsiglit.

General French is clearing the eastern district of the Transvaal and forcing BothaVscattered * commandoes back upon the Swaziland frontier, and general Kitchener'himself is at DeAar directing 'the series^of large mounted' columns in pursuit of Dewet. - _ - French's operations^ while not decisive, "are more harassing, for',he has captured a portion- of- an ammunition v convoy and droves of cattle'and many horses' and in clearing the country he has cut a wide swath from Belfast to Ermelo. Dewet,-with Plummer's 'Australian bushnten close behind, him, has struck'the railway north of DeAar and lost a portion of his ammunition aud supplies���His object lin invad-i ing Cape Colony has probably been to attempt to concentrate Herzog's, Kritinger's and his own forces and instigate a general uprising among the Dutch by the capture ��� of .some important stronghold on the lines of communication. Kitchener is where, he can mass his.mounted forces' and the colonial defense troops and set one column after 'another in motion against Dewet. Old soldiers here do not believe the Boers will escape, but Dewet is a Wily fox. As for the disaffected districts, they are converted from disloyalty by the looting of their .property and the confiscation of their horses and cattle.. The campaign has been ended prematurely by the military experts so many times that they are warned against expressing an opinion with emphasis, but without doubt -they have valid reasons for being greatly encouraged by the results of ,the last fortnight's work. General Hunter, whose services in South Africa have been brilliant and successful,'has returned to England in impaired health, and has received a warm welcome from his military friends. He divides the honors with lord Roberts, having never been beaten and having compelled a large force of Boers to surrender. About twelve hundred troops.-including drafts of mounted infantry and yeomanry, embarked at Southampton yesterday for South Africa. The reinforcements from England to the colonies will number 30,000 by the end of April. Aftermath of Parliament's Opening. The king and queen have gone quietly to Windsor today in plain carriages without a guard of honor. This is a sign'that the period of royal pageants and town shows has .ended and that London is settling down to normal conditions of prosaic existence. An interval of "peace and quiet would be welcomed by all classes, except possibly the smart set, who find it difficult to reconcile themselves to a state of public mourning jWithout other sources of pleasurable excitement 'than 'theatres or small dinner parties with the game of " bridge " played sub-rosa. .- Military parades and the state functions at,:.St. Stephen's, interfere with., business and interrupt the course of trade. Sober'minded people are'glad to have a release from the -unnatural excitement . and -��turmoil in^the streets. The splendors- of court pageantry, have not blinded the eyes; of .thoughtful, spectators-to the public responsibilities either of royalty or pf parliament in a .period of war * when , military operations are dragging and the burdens of taxation are steadily increasing. ' The arrangements for the historic tableau in the house of lords caused! much irritation among those who were entitled to be present,-but were displaced "by four ^hundred peeresses and smart- ladies in dia:, monds.-Tlie majority'of peers were turned out of their own house and only one commoner out of six managed to enter the overcrowded hall and then after an unseemly scramble and a rough and tumble struggle like a street mob. ~ The -grumbling among the commoners has not yet ended and even those-who are ^not nursing their.bruises are declaiming, against the conversion of a stately function into a peeress matinee and a jeweled masquerade of smartness and urging that -the, traditions-of the college of heralds would be better, honored in the breach /than. in the'observauce.,\There may^ have been.another, diarist-like ,Greville present, jto note clowiL what was going;on behind the scenes and the, comments,which the peeresses were - whispering among themselves while their-diamonds were flashing'. \, - j- -v-iC'l- THE UNION MINE DISASTER OFFICIAL.

The menace to. the. welfare of_British~ Columbia, which is conveyed' in the application for" the Hill railway charter is so serious that British Columbians, in the desire to combat it have thrown, to -the winds tariff and trade theories which 'they have conscientiously advocated for years; and thus' it happens that lifelong free traders are found openly advocating'export duties upon coal, and railway conditions which a few years ago they would have denounced as monopolistic. There is neither fawning, friendship for 'the < Canadian Pacific Railway Company, nor jingo- hostility tp its great - American rival, in the opposition which is being raised against the attempt of James aT. Hill to run his railway feeder from tbe state of Montana into the East Kootenay- coal fields. It is plainly the fight of the united people of a great section for their self- preservation, and if in the present instance they are advocating the cause of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company it is because, in spite of previous differences with this gigantic' corporation,' they realize that the interests of the Canadian railway and their own interests are identical, and because' they1/unanimously repent; the attempt whichis being made by. the Crow's Nest Pass CoAl'-Company,iand its- allied American railway and industrial trustsv'-to'secure a snap, verdict1 agaihst'th-emin' the' Canadian ' parliament. v wonder was not that'the members of the -government had not done more to'discoui'age Chinese immigration,' but' that' they had done anything. ��� ONLY FOUR'CASES'REMAIN - j *r ' In the Supreme'.Court- Out of the' ten cases, that were set down for trial at the session, of the supreme court -which has been- in session since last Tuesday, only four remain to'be" heard."

"- " ''Mr. Drewry- retnrned,-from.-'the - east-:l«£st week.-where he** had'been for some time on important mining*: business. In speaking of bis trip - he" said he "worked, to., bring about the negotiations "'between 'Messrs.* Gooderham. and Blackstock and - the O: P.R. Co. for the purchase of, the Trail smelter. He "said, the deal' was practically completed, and'in less than 30 days the Toronto 'company wouldUakeover-the-plant'. ■ _ Mr. Drewry, in speaking of'-the' present smelter situation, expressed: himself as in favor-of ^'havingrefln-' eries established here at once.-; "It will'have to come^to* this, and'the sooner the better," said he. -"Arrangements ,are being- made at the present time toward this end,. ,The government should give a "bounty on every ton "produced.^and" by so' doing place us on the same footing as the American smelting .and Refining companies.-'- The "bounty should be,granted for at least three years."' The Dominion, goverment has.been petitioned, and no doubt some action will be* taken at the present session.. The present number of smelters is sufficient j, to treat. only. 40. - per cent of the silver-lead ores produced, but if proper legislation was framed and the. enterprise encouraged, a number of new smelters would be erected, when theh'there would be no difficulty in securing treatment for all ores mined." He said 'a refinery would probably-be built at Trail. "I "refineries are not "built here," said-Mr. -Drewry, '-'the silver- lead industry wiirin a'short time be paralyzed. The present trouble is the cause of many-silver-lead mines 'shutting down, ,as it is impossible to find a market for their ore." In speaking of the money market of Eastern Canada Mr. Drewry stated that it was very close< and that very little money could be obtained for British Columbia mining purposes. . Last Week's Smelter Operations. The receipts of ore at the Hall Mines smelter during the past week amounted to about 800 tons, exceeding the receipts of the previous week by "about 300 tons. Notwithstanding this large amount only half of the properties sent in ore that usually do so. One reason for such few shipments coming in is that two or three of the big shippers have shut down. This is due to the trouble that has arisen between the smelters and the silver- lead producing mines which is now making the outlook for some of the mines decidedly blue. The largest quantity received during, tlie week just'passed was 350 tons, which came from the Highland mine at Ainsworth. During the first of the. week- 150-tons were-sent down, and* yesterday 200- tons moro ^ere'Mceived^ y. The Arlington; oh''.Springer creek, waa the next in line, having sent in about 200 tons. This amount is just doable*that-of the week-before. The manager of the mine, W.F. DuBois,' waswere received.-"The-iron ore from'.tlie Iron King ..group at .SlocariVJunc? tion, to be used for fluxing purposes, is being sent in much larger quantities, as this week over 150 tons .were shipped. It is quite probable' that the amount will be. in- creasedto over 200 tons at an early date. > Slocan Junction Iron Mines. The mining of iron ore in this district has received little , or no attention until late, but now 'considerable importance is being attached to the industry. , It is said that_ a deal is about closed for "the iron ore property <• owned by Mike Egan, situated on - the south side of the river at;,Slocan Junction.y With others,1--William - Hudson)" V -well- known mining^ 'man of- this city>_is said to be one - of-* the' purchasers. It is intended to start work on the" property at,a&*early date and the 'ore will' be* shipped.!to,the,Trail smelter for fluxing, purposes. The -property contains* immense mineral deposits-"and the" ledges -• are 'so located .that its /development' will incur comparatively small expense. - The Iron'.King, group"-at" Slocan Junction was thought to be of little value until aJfew weeks, ago but now its value is greatly? increased, and'over.100-tons per week are .being_-sent to'- the* Hall; Mines smelter. Within the .past two weeks several -new locations have been'made and; development will •probably',be started upon'them .shortly.,. The iron ore from Kamloops, where all .the" ore -was formerly obtained by the smelters bf southern British Columbia/ is now in little demand and doubtless the shipments from there will" soon cease entirely. This marks a new era in this district, as in all probability before mauy years this industry will' develop into large proportions/. Roller mills may be established and the iron industry will flourish. The vicinity of Slocan Junction has every' facility to make this undertaking a great one. Wages Were- Paid.■_ The money to pay off the men whewere employed at the-Molly Gibson mine before operations were suspended has been advanced by the directors in the east, and on Saturday each man received - a check for. the full amount. . Arrangements are being made to resume work at an early date. In discussing the affairs' of the company one of- its officers informed Tub Tribune that $75,000 has been raised in the East to further develop the mine and build a smelter. No more ore will be shipped, however, under the present conditions, as the advanced smelter rates has convinced the company that it will be more profitable to concentrate their class of ore. The Chapleau. The only tiling new that has developed concerning the shut-down of the Chapleau mine on Lemon creek, situated in the centre of the Kilo group, which is owned by the Warner-Miller syndicate, is that the two companies have amalgamated and that work will be resumed with greater activity at an early date. This is merely a revival of an old rumor and may be taken for what it is worth. Russian-Chinese Railway. St. Petersburg-, February 17.— It is reported from - Nagasaki that an agreement has been concluded between China and the Russo- Chinese bank-for the construction of a railway from lake Baikal, Siberia, to Port Arthur. The bank in return for constructing the line, gets the right to work it for thirty years. The same informant asserts also that a. line - is projected from Kiakhta to Pekin. That "every man or -woman should have'a hobby'.' is a gdodVold saying, but that "every v'maniror woman should have a hobby *that pays" is better. The .dog is/and/it is safe to predict always ^svill be,HHe most popular pet of man; and'there is; consequently;- -always "-a ready- market for a good dog of any breed. A really first-class animal,* of a fashionable breed will command practically ariy< price his owner sets upon him. A man in the suburbs of New York last year cleared over' $1000 from'the.sale of his puppies, the produce of, his-two female dogs. Thisu,was,the result of successful mating, as neither of his" bulldogs had ever won on the 'show bench.' ! For several years another man living near New York-has regularly made $750 a year from a small but ! fairly select stud - of Irish terriers; and with a good kennel' of fox terriers a Chicago man'has made over $10,000 in the past "few- years.' Dogs, then", maybe said to be pets that pay. Dogs "are judged by a firmly' laid down standard for each breed, and a certain -number of marks are given for each point the dog "possesses; if his ears are "right; for instance,* full marks* are given- for; that ■'point,' and" so on through all the points of his breed. A printed set of the 'p°m*ts of any breed is easily obtainable, *as also is a colored-plate of an ideal dog possessing >all.the standard*points, and a short study of' these will* soon enable the novice to -know a good dog -jvhen "hev sees i it, and a few, visits to a show where good dogs of 'hi? selected-breed are- beingY'exhibited will soon put him in'possession" of all the" knowledge requisite,, for making his hobby profitable. . •' J The best paying dpgs to~keep are the fox-terrier, collie^.Welsh* terrier, and bulldog; ,as'" they -■ are, always readily sold; bub almost any' breed, judiciously-managed, will pay.'- '-- / Hens will pay as hobbie3, but ducks, geese'andi turkeys twill < not. The same' remarks apply to >hens as to dogs;.a colored plate showing the .color and markings of each breed is to.be obtained <,f coin the office of- 'any'of the-poultry,papers, and" by' careful, selection good results are quickly and easily obtained. The profit from good-hens is easily un- derstood'when it is known that for a dozen eggs. from a prize hen for setting purposes. $8 is the" usual price-. * The eggs _ from '"smaller' winners command $2 a dozen; Leghorns, both white and brown, are the most easily obtained, as they are perhaps in .the best state of -culture of any of oiir.fowls today, but competition in this breed is -very keen. ' Goo'd birds of any breed will1; pay, Kow- 'ever, but the Silver Wyandotte* is perhaps the best to keep, as it is an all-round. bird, good alike for laying and table purposes;- one woman in New .England last. year made After Siock=Takihg ************************** I have still a larger stock onT,ihand than I wish tp carry, therefore I will offer a discount of 10 per cent on the price of every article.

The lucky number in The Palm's drawing contest is 184. The holder, of this number is therefore entitled to the saddle-pony offered as a prize. •" L**' '' Annie Howard of Kitchener, who. is confined in the provincial jail for keeping a disorderly ^ house, and who was badly cut in several places witli a knife by her husband, had -to have her hand and arm operated upon yesterday afternoon. The operations were performed by Drs. LaBau and Symons. The annual meeting of the subscribers of the Public Library w i 1 be held iu St. Saviour's Sunday school at 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening. The principal business before the meeting will be the election, of directors for the coming year. On the 28th instant the officers will give an entertainment and in addition to a good musical program W. H. "Dowsing of Spokane will give "An Hour in Wonderland." Lieutenant G. S. Beer received information from Ottawa yesterday that the number of men taken from British Columbia for Baden-Powell's constabulary could not exceed 200. This number can easily be obtained as more than that have already sent in applications. This will probably shut out those" in'the Boundary country who have made application. Just how>many 'would be taken from Nelson the message did not say, but Mr. Beer expects to receive further details in a few days." -__ RETURN OF THE CHAMPIONS Nelson Hockey Team at Home. *; . The Nelson' hockey teanrreturned from Rossland" last evening * and brought with them the $100 silver ;cup trophy, donated by the citizens ot Rossland, and also brought the championship of British Columbia. The "game-which gave them the championship, was that against Rossland on Saturday night. They played Phoenix on Friday night and won by 4 goals to 27' Rossland played Revelstoke on Thursday and the ' former won by 0 goals to 1. When,'the game- was called on Saturdays night -'the "rink "was1 y crowded with spectators.^ It was thought' that Rossland was sure of winning, as ' they' seemed to 'have the habit of carrying off the cup on all occasions. Perhaps this was the reason of tlie defeat. * Nelson had two superb players in J..Thompson jind B. Archibald, but there ■ were equally good men on-the Rossland team. The only goal won by Rossland was done by a hit from the back of the ice by O'Brien, and this .:was more than offset by two similar goals scored by the Nelson point, B. Archibald. The line-up was as follows: tion the cup was won by Nelson. Richardson!s and Tamblyn's rinks play off here to • see who wins it. C. Archibald won, the cup for scoring the highest number of points—, 24. There were seven prizes given, three of them going to Rossland. All the trophies are on exhibition in the window. of Neelands' shoe store. ._',.' -. -..-; .... .. . . . 0. P. B. Officials Here. A number of C. P. R. officials arrived in Nelson last evening. They are general superintendent Marpole of the Pacific division, assistant general freight agent F. .y. Peters, formerly of this'city, now of Vancouver; master mechanic F. E. Hobbs of Revelstoke, and general storekeeper R. E. Bowman of Vancouver.5 A. F. Armistead, ■'Mr. Mar- pole's private secretary, ' accompanied the party. They are stopping at the Phair. Mr. Marpole is on a trip of inspection through the Kootfcnaysy V>! In speaking bf the freight traffic at the Cqastf .Mr. Peters saicT that the northern "trade was rather quiet at present but'rthat better trade was expected in a month or so.' He said that'the' Oriental trade was excellent.' Since the company have bought out the C. P. N. boats the wholesale merchants of Vancouver and other points on the Coast are watching the action of the C. P/R. with a great deal of interest. The merchants, wish good accommodation and/a good service and Mr. Peters declares that that was'what' they were going to give. Mr. Peters is here on private business. Will Enforce Bylaw Now. The fire.limits bylaw is hereafter to be,. strictly' enforced., During the past buildings were erected without respect to certain provisions -of the* bylaw. Fire chief Thompson was busy on Saturday in inspecting' _the buildings," and notifying -. the owners, that, the' changes would have to'be made. After his inspection Mr. Thompson stated he'.found many.chimngys would .-have/.to be rebuilt. Any parties ,who-,build hereafter,, must first rfile*;a .plan of the structure witE'the §ity*' engineer. The .question of tearing-down the shacks oii various streetsfChd lanes throughout the city has, been discussed- by^the* fire wardens,,'and it .w;as 'decided' that they jtvbuld be _lef t standing until May*. 1, .when all.--would _h~ave to be removed, i &if"*'r~s1 . * ' RAILROAD AND STEAMBOAT ■uw _E=C. BTSBS 't will be> a train through this evening 'or not. For the past few days there has been a heavy thaw in' thatsection, and on Saturday it turned suddenly, cold, causing heavy-ice,to form. It is said that a small'landslide also occurred. The passengers and mail -are being-brought to-and-f roni-Nel- son via Rossland. * The road will be cleared as early as possible. The New Tug. The electric",light "plant of-the new C. P. B?7 tug' which was1 launched a week ago was put in by the Kootenay' Electric Supply & Construction Company and the work was completed on Saturday.

Bulger, who was superintending its construction, and who is at present at Vancouver conducting the launching of the steamer Dawson. , He is expected home *ih a 'day or two. When the tug is completed it will be put into active" service, that is, if the present heavy freight traffic continues. New-Freight Rates. The freight rates on general merchandise being shipped from Nelson to Sandon have been considerably decreased and the new schedule went into force on Saturday. The rates are now equal to those from Kaslo to Sandon. This puts the Nelson wholesale firms on 'an even basis with those'~of Kaslo andshonld be the'meaus of enlarging the wholesale shipments of Nelson to that district. The rates per 100 pounds of,-the ten classes of meichandise as they now stand are. as follows : 50, 45, 40, 33, 26, 24,20.' 19, 24 and 10 cents. Miscellaneous.
