C, WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, 1901 PRICE FIVE CENTS GENUINE HYPNOTISM SEEN i lx AND PRONOUNCED UPON BY AN INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE. Painless Dentistry���Pulsation and Temperature Controlled���Hypnotized By Telephone. A party of well-known citizens enjoyed a genuine performance last night, given by E. Sutcliffe, to demonstrate the bona fides of the science of hypnotism. Nelson has been visited by hypnotists from time to time, but as some at least of those on the platform were in the employ of the "professor" many people are disposed to believe that there was some collusion between the operator and subject. There could be no such suspicion as to last night's tests, as all parties concerned are residents of the city. Shortly after 8 o'clock five volunteers had assembled at Mr. Sutcliffe's store, and from there they proceeded to the ��� office of the Lethbridge Coal Company on Baker street, accompanied by alderman Selous, Dr. Quinlan, Dr. Symonds, Messrs. Melville Parry, Dixon of the Kootenay Electric Supply Company, Beaven of the Bank of Commerce, Winter of the Bank of Montreal, Martin of the Kootenay Supply Company, and other prominent citizens. Mr. Sutcliffe gave each of his subjects a number and going to Dr. Symonds' office, across the street, called them in consecutive order to the 'phone and put* each in sound hypnotic sleep. . Then returning to the coal office he ranged his subjects in line, commanding the one to look at th'e back of the other, and in this order marched - them down to Robie's. Here, in the presence of the gentleman above named���a critical and exacting committee.���he put his subjects through a varied performance, such as orchestral work', drilling under the impression that they were going to South Africa,, etc. One subject delivered a very practical address ou temperance, in the course of which he, laid it down as bad policy for a man to "gin-up a friend who would not giu him up." Another hypnotized orator predicted that hypnotism would take tho place of medicine in a few years from date. When taken from under the influence none of the subjects had the remotest idea of what they had been doing or saying. One of them had a troublesome tooth and was anxious-to have it drawn, provided the operation could be performed without pain. He was taken to Dr. Quinlan's office, hypnotized, and the doctor abstracted the tooth, his pa- tient_nob_experiencing_a_sensation of pain. The doctor declares that the tooth was one of the worst and hardest to deal with he had ever encountered. Another very interesting test was that made in pulsation and temperature. The pulsation of the subject was raised or lowered at the will of the operator, as was also the temperature. Dr. Symonds made the tests and announced the variations which occurred. Then Mr. Sutcliffe invited those present to name any hypnotic test thoy might have seen and undertook to duplicate it. A few were^ried successfully. Not in a single instance did he fail. The committee pronounced the performance ah Entire suc'Ces and are determined that Mr. Sutcliffe shall give another entertainment if they can persuade him to do so. This was genuine hypnotism., its annual session in Miners' Union Hall yesterday, under the presidency of James Wilks. There was a large and representative attendance, but as the proceedings were conducted with closed doors, the public will not know what went on until the business concludes. However, among other topics discussed yesterday was that of the proposed bonus to a refinery. No definite decision was arrived at when the meeting adjourned to meet again this morning.

But one of the couple appeared before the magistrate, and she was fined $10 and costs, but being of the colored race she did not blush, perceptibly, when found guilty of- the charge preferred against her.

Western Federation of Miners. District Association No. 0, Western Federation of Miners, opened Furious Driving. Owen Thomas and Philip Wade were yesterday fined costs of court and received a sound lecture from mayor Fletcher on the dangers of furious driving on the public streets. Their plea was not that their horses had had too much oats, but that they were pacers and hard to hold in. Of late there have been numerous complaints as to the speed at whicli drivers urge their horses along crowded thoroughfares and over street crossings on which pedestrians are supposed to enjoy safety. " - ' A Mammoth Scheme. The London county council is becoming the greatest exemplar in the way of big social schemes. Glasgow used to show the way; but it will soon be left behind. The housing committee of the London county council has just prepared a scheme which dwarfs all previous efforts at housing. It is proposed to purchase an estate on the outskirts of the city, and on this land to build 5779 cottages to accommodate over 42,000 -persons;���If the���projectj-which_is" to cost ��1,530,858, is ' carried out' this will really be a model town. The cottages, which are to be of .a varied architectural tppe, will each have a small garden. A public garden of about two acres and a quarter in extent is to be provided on the banks of the river Moselle, which runs through part of the ground to be dealt with, and doubtless other amenities will be given. The whole scheme of the committee has been drawn up on a self-supporting basis. The further development of this hugej housing proposal will be followed; with interest by the whole country. Work in Mines to Resume. . Cape Town, April 2-^Lord Kitchener has granted permission to three Rand - mining companies, which latter* will be increased to seven, to resume work with fifty stamps each, provided the maximum wages paid to miners be five shillings a day, equal to the wages pf the regular troopers, to prevent discontent among the latter. The remainder of the miners' ordinary pay will be devoted to a fund for the benefit of the families of residents of the Rand, killed in the war. The Transvaal chamber of mines has issued a circular objecting. to these wages and the conditions of work. St. Petersburg, April 2.���The superior councillor of the Chinese legation, Chu We Jte, is continuing the negotiations as charge ' d' affaires regarding-the Manchurian agreement. The. illness of the Chinese minister, Yang^Yu, is now admitted to be due to apoplexy, which will incapacitate him from work probably for a long period. It is said that the loss of half his estate through the destruction of a Chinese bank, combined with political caies, is undermining his health. Unofficial observers scarcely understand how a doubt can be possibly entertained abroad that China will ultimately accept the Russian conditions after it shall be apparent that no power is willing forcibly to interfere, For, as it is urged, while Russia' undoubtedly prefers to carry through her plans as made; her diplomatic position would suffer as little as her military position from China's refusal to accept what Russia regards as moderate conditions of withdrawal; The correspondent here of the Associated Press knows nothing about Russia's plans in the event of China's refusal to sign the agreement, which is certainly not anticipated here now. But a Chinese refusal could easily cause Russia to drop all negotiations. She might say: "Very well, this ends the matter. We desired to leave Manchuria, but yoii prevent our leaving on terms consistent with the promotion-of our railroad and qthey. interests.": It might easily happen that Russia would regard as an actuality the contingency mentioned in the August circular as a possibility, that is, that the powers by warning China against accepting the Manchuria arrangement yesterday rendered impossible the withdrawal of Russia. that the capital would be $32,000,- 000 in common and preferred stock and debenture bonds. Of the debentures $1,000,000 would remain in the treasury. The same authority declared the report to be substantially correct in its mentioning as those interested in the new deal J. Pierpont Morgan, August Belmont, W. Seligman, J. Seligman and the president of several of the most extensive banking houses in New York city. Plague in San Francisco. Washington, D.C., April 2.���The plague situation at San Francisco is summarized in a statement published in this week's issue of the public health report of the marine hospital service, which is just out. This statement shows there have been ten cases of the plague in San Francisco officially reported since the beginning of the year. All of them were fatal.

Port of Spain, Island of Trinidad, via Haytian cable, April 2.���The United States auxiliary cruiser Scorpion has been ordered to convey Francis B. Loomis,- the ' United States director at Caracas, Venezuela, to San Juan de Porto Rico, where he will embark on a steamer for New York. President Castro is personally hostile to Mr. Loomis, because the latter has protested strongly against the non-payment of~large sums due to Americans after the president had solemnly promised to pay the Americans before any other foreign claim. Mr. Loomis discovered that the president was secretly paying German claims. The Eight-Hour Day. London, April 2.���As a result of the disaffection existing among the Lanarkshire miners and engineers, 2000 of whom are idle, owing to a strike for an eight-hour day, some of the ironmasters took,, st^ps to damp down their furnaces tonight and the steel makers will stop their mills. The railroads, enabled by the slackness of work, are sending engineers and shunters to. some of the mines. Some of the smaller collieries have declined the^: eight- hour day demanded by th6 strikers. Foreign Competition Hurts. London, April 2.���The president today at a meeting of the Barrow Steel Company, the duke of Devonshire, lord president of the council, took a pessimistic view of American and other foreign competition. He said the total orders for rails given to British makers in 1900 did not reach 50. per cent of the orders giving during the preceding four years. Competition did not account for the absolute decrease. Either less rails were required or buyers were waiting in expectation of lower prices. The Salmon Trust.

Pao Ting Fu, Saturday March '30th, via Pekin, Sunday March 31st by post to Chee Foo.���Though Pao Ting Fu may be 'reached in a few hours by railway, it is practically unknown to foreigners now in Pekin. Marvelous stories and rumors pass as current facts, but are entirely without, foundation. After the reoccupation' of Pao Ting Fu an agreement was entered into between the allies aiid the Chinese that the former should not advance beyond the province of Chi Li and that the latter-- shojildlnot. go beyond ten miles inside of Shah ~ Shi province. The Chinese have frequently broken tliat agreement and have been attacked by both Germans and French in different parts of the province. Chi Li at present has 10,000 Chinese troops commanded by Liu Kluants, the famous " Black Flag leader, who are within twelve miles of Puo Lee, where there are 3000 French troops who are anxious to make an attack, but are restricted by positive orders from Pekin. M. Pichon, the French minister, having informed general Vyron, commanding the French troops, that he had received instructions from France to the effect that the. government did not desire aggressive action on the part of. the troops. Provided the Chinese shall not advance there is littlp chance of collision Early in March 150 Germans were attacked near the border and two men were killed. Two thousand soldiers entered Shan Si province through the Ante Suling pass, driving the Chinese beyond Shai Quan and then retiring to Ante Suling, where they are now in camp. French officers state that Shan Si has a different people from Chi Li province, the inhabitants being more arrogant and daring the foreign troops to enter. The French have large supplies at Chen Ting and Huo Lee, including camel trains. Pao Ting Fu ~ is entirely peaceful and its condition is better than that of auy other province occupied by the allies. Pekin, April 1.���Count von Waldersee has ordered the generals commanding the allied troops, and has requested.the other.;generals, to confer with the winter^ palace regarding the instructions to be given the ministers as to what military action is necessary to be taken under articles 9 and 10 of the joint note. Tien Tsin, April 1.���Captain Barret of the Burmah troops was assaulted with sabers by seven Frenchmen last night. He was not dangerously wounded, however. Exploring Vessel Launched. Kiel, April 2.���The ship built for the German Antarctic expedition was launched today. Professor von Richtoren, on behalf of emperor William, christened the vessel Gauss in honor of the famous German mathematician and scientist of that name. Washington, April 2.--The war department today received information from general McArthur that Aguinaldo had taken the oath "of allegiance to the United States under the terms of amnesty offered by general McArthur.' The dispatch conveying this information contained much more than was given to the public. The portion . withheld related to the future disposition of Aguinaldo and made suggestions as to what the late chief of the insurgents might accomplish. No official statement, could be obtained as to what finally would be done with the prisoner, but it was stated that he would be held for the present, but would be granted all possible immunity consistent with existing conditions. General McArthur has hopes that a great deal may be accomplished through Aguinaldo. During the time he has been a prisoner he has made quite a favorabls impression on general McArthur. - It has been suggested that under the terras of the notice of amnesty, the prisoner should be set at liberty at once, but there is a provision in the amnesty^ proclamation which says those who have violated the laws of war are excepted from its terms. Whether or not general McArthur has satisfied himself that Aguinaldo has not violated tlje laws of war,cannot be stated. Aguinaldo, having * been the head of the insurrection, undoubtedly can.be held until further investigation is,made or until .the, circumstances which- surrounds the1 situation in the Philippines make it' advisable to release him outright or otherwise dispose of him. These condicions and the general situation and Aguinaldo's relation to them were the subject of general McArthur's dispatch and are being considered by the authorities here who will have final disposition of the matter. The news of Aguinaldo's action was received with satisfaction by the war department, and the opinion was expressed that good results would follow among those who have been still holding out against the United States. The taking of the oath itself is regarded as giving Aguinaldo a status of loyalty to the United States quite different from those still in arms. General McArthur evidently has considered it exped- ient to have Aguinaldo take _this_ oath and apparently believes that reliance can be placed upon the age of officers to fill assignments in this country, owing to the drain that came from China and the Philippines, so the home coming of so many vesscN will be welcome. The Oregon and Newark, both of which have been on service in the far east a great while past, already are setting sail for the United' States to be completely overhauled and re- paired. Lopez Ib Anxious. Boston, Mass., April 2.���Sixto Lopez was informed today that Aguinaldo had taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. Senor Lopez asked for the particulars. Upon being informed'that only the bare fact had been cabled over, he said : "I think there must be some conditions attached co the announcement that Aguinaldo has taken the oath. It is very important. You must giye me time to think it over." - PROVINCE AND DOMINION CROW'S NEST SOUTHERN PEOPLE CALLED DOWN. Must Guarantee Protection to Columbia Smelters or Get Charter���Other News. British No Japan Gets Snubbed. Yokohama, April 3. ��� Leading Japanese newspapers assert that the Russian government has replied to Japan's protest against the Manchurian convention to the effect that Russia does not wish to enter upon a discussion with a third power ��� relative to her negotiations with China; that the proposed agreement is purely temporary and not intended to_impair the sovereignty of China or to injure the interests of other powers; that the contents of the agreement immediately upon its conclusion will be communicated to the other powers, who will undoubtedly find them acceptable; and, finally, that if any of the provisions are not acceptable to Japan, Russia is prepared to discuss the matter in a friendly spirit. Russia's reply to Japan's protest against the Manchurian convention, says the Yokohama correspondent of the Daily Mail, is regarded' as uns'atis factory and further vigorous representations will follow. Prince Konoye at Sumoro, ��� president of-the house of peers, in the course of an inflammatory speech, openly discussed the probable re-, suits ofaiwar.. between. !Japan "and Russia and said that' Japan could count upon the friendly neutrality of Great Britain and Germany. He declared 'that the United States would not interfere and that France would only cause uneasiness by the employment of her Annamese forces and by a naval demonstration off Formosa. This, he predicted, would be the limit of French actions and therefore Japan's vastly superior army would be enabled without great difficulty to drive Russia out of Manchuria. Victoria, April 2.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The Crow's Nest Southern crowd ran up against a snag today. It was rumored that they absolutely refused to give tho government any guarantee that the smelters would be treated fairly; and they even, it is said, went so far as to say that��they would not accept a charter with any restrictions whatever; that they wanted a free hand to do as they pleased. Wheu the order of the day reached ��� the Crow's Nest Southern bill the attorney general objected to the speaker leaving tho chair and the- bill was not considered. This taken ih connection with the action of the minister of railways, Blair, in the railway committee at . Ottawa; ��� clearly shows that the Crow's Nest , people will be required to give , guarantees that smelters in British Columbia must be protected. This may not be patriotic, but it i.i business. .

''k\- [ %%& -'-y* department authorities say that offences against the articles of war refer to murders and like depredations. Only recently five Filipino officers were executed for such offences. It was not known here whether Aguinaldo was responsible in any case for such offences, though from the fact that general McArthur allowed him to take the oath of allegiance it is assumed that the commanding general does not hold Aguinaldo to be chargeable with the violation of the articles of war. It is .'Believed that general McArthur.will keep the ex-leader under his eye and avail himself of the good offices of Aguinaldo in loyalizing the remainder of the insurgent forces. Should the capture and submission of the Filipino chieftain mark the beginning of the end of the war in the Philippines, as expected, the effect on the naval representation in Asiatic waters would be a very considerable reduction of our naval force in the far east. There are at present about 57 of our naval vessels on the Asiatic station, a greater number than ever has been mobilized there and including some of the finest battleships, cruisers and ironclads in the American navy. A good many of them will now be sent home. It is probable that the European station, with headquarters in the Mediterranean, will be revived and also that the re-creation of the old South Pacific station will follow. There has been a. marked short- International Canoe Race. Boston, April 2.���The plans for an international canoe race between boats representing the Royal; Canoe Club of England and the Winchester Boat Club of Winchester took definite shape today when the following challenge was mailed : To~tlfe~honorary secretary of the Royal Canoe Club���rSir: At a meeting of the directors of the Winchester Boat Club of Winchester, Massachusetts, held on March 29th, 1901, it was voted to challenge the Royal Canoe Club to sail a series of races for the sailing challenge cup of said Royal Canoe Club, subject to the' rules and conditions governing such contests, in the year book of 1990 of said Royal Canoe Club. At the same meeting it was further voted that the Winchester Boat Club be represented in this series of races by Hermann Dudley Murphy, member of the said Winchester Boat Club. Therefore I hereby make such challenge in behalf of the Winchester Boat Club. I have the honor to remain, very truly, yours C. F. A. Siedhofp, Secretary. Chinese Expect It. London, April 3.���The Chinese expect after all that the Manchurian convention will be ratified in the course of the next five days, says the Tien Toin correspondent of the Standard, wiring Monday. The southern viceroys and governors are incensed and threaten rebellion if the court yields. The northern Chinese are more ignorant and indifferent. . The Tartar general at Feng Tien, Manchuria, has issued a proclamation assuring the people that the Russian occupation is only temporary. The Chinese troops at Feng Tien are wearing Russian badges and the town is occupied by a strong Russian force. Paris, April 2.���Surgeons today operated on an abcess under the tongue of M.

A very fair example of the way in which this open-door labor policy works was furnished in connection with the building of the Great Northern spur at Rossland a few weeks ago. For this work men were imported from the United States utterly regardless of the Dominion's Alien Labor Act, and the onus was then upon organized labor in the province to prove that the men so imported were citizens of the United States. In some sixteen cases tliis fact was established and the men were deported, but in overy instance in which this fact could-not be proven, the men were allowed to remain. The only effect these deportations will have will bo that of impressing upon railway contractors the necessity of importing under contract men who are not citizens of the United States. And what will be the effect upon the labor market of Kootenay, if, ia connection with the building of the. British Columbia Southern railway, one thousand Italian laborers are brought into the district; men who when the railway work is over will enter into active competition for such employment as the mines of the district afford for unskilled labor? If, as the. promoters claim, the British Columbia Southern railway is to be built without subsidy of any kind, it is not likely that any restrictions as to the employment of labor will be imposed at Ottawa. This will force organized- labor to the Alien Labor Act for its protection, and as at present framed it keeps out the most desirable class of labor and admits the most dangerous. The people of Victoria have served their members in the legislature with notice that they are expected to vote the V., V. & E. railway subsidy or resign their seats. ' There are some mine owners and mine managers in Kootenay who would like to have the mining. industry of the province placed upon ,the level? of the salmon canning business! If they.-had ' their way the mineral wealth of the province would furnish neither profitable employment for its people, nor returns for government expenditures incurred for its development. YESTERDAY'S NEWS IN BRIEF. The Tribune has made arrangements for the publication of the full news report of the Associated Press, including the afternoon as well as the morning service. This will give The Tribune the best telegraphic service in the province, an advantage which will speedily assert itself. E. V. Bodwell is anxious that the V,, V. & E. railway should give the people of British Columbia the advantages of competition with the Canadian Pacific railway, but he is very much opposed to the C. P. R. giving the people of the province the advantage of competition with the V., V. & E. for that provincial subsidy of one million dollars. Those who imagined that American labor would be given employment as the result of the displacement of the Japanese from the Great North- ery railway system have had their dream rudely shattered. The Japanese are to go, but their places are to be taken by Italians, and orders have been placed with employment agencies ih the big cities of the cen- . tral states for the moving of 2000 Italians to the west. This is said to be the largest order ever placed for railway labor, and it is taken to indicate considerable activity in railway construction. Should James J. Hill secure his charterfor the Crow'sNest Southern ' railway, British Columbia will doubtless experience the effects of an open-door labor policy in "connection with the open-door for railways. This will mean the flooding of East Kootenay with cheap ; labor, and unless material amend- . ment is made to the Alien, Labor.

London, April 2.���Under date of Pretoria, April 1st, lord Kitchener reports to the war office as follows: Plummer has occupied Nylstroon and French has captured three generals of the lower Pongola. Thirty- one prisoners have been captured in the Orange River Colony. There were no casualties. 1N Leader Shot. Cape Coast Castle, Gold Coast Colony, April 2.���The leader of the men belonging to the West African regiment who recently mutinied because they had not been returned to Sierra Leone at the time they understood they were to lie sent home has been courtmartialed and publicly shot. The rest, of the mutineers have been shipped to the island of Sherbo, 40 miles from Sierra Leone. Miners Locked Out. Hazelton, Pennsylvania, April 2.���The six hundred men employed at the Oneida colliery of 5 Coxe Brothers & Co. have been locked, out. When the men went to the mines this morning they were sent home again. The company wants the miners to report earlier for work, but.the men refuse to do so. No move has been made for a settlement. Leased to British Syndicate. New York, April 2.���According to the Express, says the London correspondent of the Tribune, 71,- 000 square miles of territory in the Chinese provinces of Shan Se and Ho Nan, rich in iron, coal and petroleum, have been leased tb a British syndicate. If there should be any truth in the story the contented attitude of lord Lansdowne in the face of Russian designs on Manchuria would surely, be accounted for. Balfour May Succeed Salisbury. New York, April 2.���The retire- mentof lord Salisbury from public life is much nearer than is generally believed, says the London correspondent of the Tribune. There will be a new prime minister before .the session ends and the ministry may be changed at one or two points. One forecast may be repeated with confidence, as there is high authority for it. This is the speedy appointment of Mr. Balfour as prime minister with an elevation to the peerage. Carnegie to Start Theaters, NEW York, April 2.���According to a World despatch from London the Daily Express is informed that Andrew Carnegie purposes to endow a theater in New York and another in London for the elevation of the stage, provided a working plan can be devised which will prevent the management from falling into the hands of extremists or faddists. Mr. Carnegie's wish is said to be to establish an international theater with a stage on either side of the Atlantic that companies and Hon. Qeo. A. Cox, President. Robt. Kiigour, Vice-President.

The idea is said to havo been suggested by Richard Mansfield's recent declaration that an endowed national theater is necessary for the preservation of the drama. It i9 further stated that Mr. Carnegie has been consulting with actors, managers and critics and may soon be expected to make an announcement.. Awarded Substantial Judgment. Buffalo, April 2.���A verdict of $13,500 was reported to justice Kenewick this morning by the jury in the suit of Mrs. Charlotte A. Bridgewood against Prank H. Brown, Lewis H. Cole, Helene Stephens Cole, Louis F. Stensgard, and Thomas W. Pelham. The jury was out all night and did not agree upon a verdict until 9 o'clock this morning. In 'this action Mrs. Bridgewood sued to' recover the value-of $8000 worth of property in Hamilton, Ontario, and interest on the money. She alleged the defendants had defrauded her out of the property by inducing her to trade it for land in Johnson county, Kentucky, the title to which was.net good. Fraud-was alleged in. her complaint and justice Kenewick held it was for the jury to determine if there had been, fraud. Destruction of Forts. Pekin, April 1.���Regarding the destruction of the forts the generals are practically agreed that those at Taku, Shanghai, Kuan and Tien Toin must at least be rendered useless, while the north fort at the entrance, of the river..Taku must be destroyed entirely on account of the fact that ever since it was built it has caused lower water on the bar, having diverted the course of. the stream.' ' The merchants have frequently complained to the consuls, but no government has liked to ask China to destroy a fort at the entrance to an important river. This, however, can now be done as a matter of military necessity and will give foreign merchants intense satisfaction as the river thus in a short time will be navigable as far as Tien Tsin. China's Trade. Pekin, April 2.���Sir Robert Hart, inspector general of Chinese customs, has sent to the legations' commissioners comparisons for the past five years. These show a. great increase in American trade, particularly in flannels, sheetings and jeans and a corresponding decrease in British trade. They also show a great falling off in the American ikerose>ne"=tfadeTi=^RTi^iS==has a- greater part of the business in oil and th s merchants are Russian, dealing especially iu cotton goods and oil, while owing to the closed door policy Manchuria will be lost entirely to international trade. - Rir sia WiU Have Free Hand. New Vmrk. Anvil 2-rrThe China question has again fallen into the background, says the London correspondent of the Tribune, since nearly all well informed men agree that mither England iior Germany win in erfere with Russian designs in Manchuria and that' Japan can be placated by concessions in Korea. The indemnity is now under discussion between Germany and England, with the probability that the compromise agreed upon between them will be received by the powers after protracted delay. Canada at the Fan-American. Buffalo, April 2.���E. B. Elder- kin, special live stock commissioner of the Dominion of Canada for the Pan-American exposition, and A. P. Westerville, secretary of the Dominion Cattle Breeders' Association, held an extended conference with superintendent Converse yesterday with reference to the Canadian exhibit. Mr. Elderkin assured a News reporter that Canada could be counted upon to make a considerable showing at the exposition.

St. Johns, New Foundland, April 2.���The steamer Ranger with 30,- 000 seals and the steamer Labrador with 20,000 seals arrived here this morning. The steamer Algerine, which while returning from the ice fields with 21,000 seals was forced into Bonavista harbor last evening owing to a terrific storm, has also arrived at this port.
