The ball game on Saturday between the "commercial men furnished lots of fun:for.those who.had a tip that the | contest.was to come off, and- got down to the Recreation grounds'.in time. The contest -was, between teams captained by Messrs: Fullerton and Smith, ��� and [������at" the outset it was ^understood that |<.pne, but drummers were eligible,- but /when the teams lined up it was seen [that several ringers were being played [by both sides. Smith's men went to bat first arid proceeded to .take all kinds of liberties with Blackwood's best cut-yes, piling iip .Ave. runs-in-their first inning. It was a game in which anything that got past the pitcher, was good;for one or more bases, and 'in wliich base run-' ners 'could romp from first home without the slightest difficulty.. Early- in the game Donaldson, who was playing center for Smith,'undertook to catch a fly-and-received a bad cut on the finger, and from this time on the fielders' on both sides from common consent agreed not to have -'anything to do with' the ball untili.it stopped going. In then- second inning the Smith men made an even half dozen runs, and . from this on assumed an air of confidence which victors only are; supposQd to wear. With Doherty in the box the Fuller- j ton men were unable to do much for [the first; two innings, but when .Captain Smith 'put Neelands on the slot things commenced to come their way, and- even .Carley at second steadied down and discarded- his ;grandstand play for more earnest work. In the third and fourth innings they managed to whitewash the Smith' combination, and by intimidatin-*: the scorer and keeping their heaviest haters always facing the pitcher, had 11 men-over [���'the plate at the end of the fourth inning, being within two of the leaders. With victory now within' his. reach, 'Fullorton decided to'take no ,further chances with Davidson.,who had,been Ylaying .a very ragged. gairie at' third,* "md who was of very doubtful assistance at the bat. He forthwith gave him his release and-.signed on David-, son, junior. The", advantage of the chance was made manifest at once. On his first time at bat Davidson, jr., rapped the ball out to center for two bases, something his "paw" had been utterly unable to do. This happened ���in the last part of the sixth; and the example of-the youngster became infectious. So much so, in fact, that the nine men had each a bat twice around, of which number 13 crossed the plate and the game, was won. The score in detail is appended: AB. R. BH. PO. ���A.

LONDON, J une 23.���The British public is only just beginning to look upon little prince Edward, the seventh anniversary of whose birthday occurs tomorrow, in the- light of 'the future king. The importance of his place in the machine of state-is somewhat magnified by the absence of his father. According to present plans, prince Edward will be a sailor, going upon the training ship. Britannia in a few years. His> present education consists of a few short daily lessons given by Mme. Brick, for many years companion to the late duchess of.Teck. The king is said to;be- strongly opposed to stuftiing children with too much 'knowledge. His recollection is keen of [ how unpleasant it was. to be a "walking dictionary tat twenty. A. story is going the ^rounds of young prince Edward's precociousness. At a juvenile party in the presence of the duke of Cornwall he was-given toys of wood, for which he solemnly������ thanked his playmates with an old fashioned expression, whereupon -the duke of Cornwall -exclaimed, "The little wretch,* he speaks better than I do," which is hot far wrong, for the'Tduke.of Cornwall' is notoriously; nervous and' unfitted for public speaking.

Va., June 23.���This entire section has just been visited by a flood the extent of which in all probability will exceed that of Johnstown in 1889, so far as loss of property is concerned! - Early yesterday morning, shortly.,after midnight, a heavy downpour of rain began, accompanied by'a severe electric storm'and steadily increased in violence until 10'o'clock a. m., then stopped for several hours arid began again with renewed violence! This' continued throughout the entire day and night and at 10 o'clock this morning, while the storm has ceased,; the towering clouds would indicate a downpour at any moment. Many miles of-the Norfolk:& Western.tracks and bridges are entirely destroyed and communication is entirely cut off west of Elkhorn, so that it is impossible to learn the full extent of loss of life arid property, but the officials of the coal operations located - in the strickens district have sent out messengers to Elk- horn,; the terminus 'of both telegraphic and' railway communication',Sand have received a: report that a - conservative estimate as to the loss of life will reach 200. Some of the drowned \ are among" the most prominent citizens of tlie cor.l fields. The Pocahontas, coal field - is located in; a basin with high mountains on either side, Elkhorn creek flowing through the center of the basin, which ranges from one-fourtli1 to one mile in width. From Enni, W. Va., to ���Vivian, a- distance of 16 miles, miners' cabins, coal company's commissaries and coke. plants line this basin. Elkhorn creek, being fed, by numerous- small streams, comingu from the. mountain sides, rises very rapidly and this waterspout came so suddenly that the basin between the two mountain ranges was flooded before the terror-stricken people realized what was upon them and were carried down by the his family is said to be safe. Passenger train No. 4 "of the Norfolk & Western railway reached Vivian about 8:30 a. m��� met the flood and .was unable to proceed further; "' The waters reached such a depth ...that-tthe', coaches had to be abandoned, the: passengers being rescued by means of ropes strung from the windows of the-coaches, to'the tops of remaining coke ovenssome distance away. Between Elkhorn.and. Vivian yard, a distance ��� of :10 miles, 100 cars are said to be washed., from the tracks and many of them-carried'down stream. A rough estimate .places the number of bridges washed - away . between Bluefield and Vivian yard, a distance of 28 miles, at from "15 to'20 feet, and from present indications' it will' be impossible to get relief into the stricken district, and with those who escaped with their lives, homeless and without food, indescribable suffering is inevitable. On the Clinch jvalley branch of the Norfolk & Western railway between this city, and Norton, Va., communication is entirely, severed west of Tazewell, Va. - Reports come from that point of great loss of life and property through the entire section. '���- - Three miles west of Tazewell ,on the Higginbotham .farm, the home of Paris Vandyke, a farm hand, was, swept away, -carrying with it Mrs. Vandyke and four children, two of the Vandyke children, John, vvaged 17, and' Charles, aged 5, being drowned. Mrs. Vandyke with the two 'remaining children Edgar * and Laura, were found at 9 this morning in.a.dying condition one mile from, where the home stood, by Mr. .Vandyke, who. was absent at the time of.' the; j cloudburst. While a rescuing party was searching for the Vandyke family they found the body of a white womalrvwell clad float- ing'down Plum creek.- No one thus far has been able to Identify her, and it is supposed the body has 'been washed .down from some distance. ���' A report from Willens Mill, a small .station between Bluefield and Tazewell, says that three children. Christian nr.mes unknown, belonging to Raleigii Brush, were drowned early; yesterday morning. There is no telegraph station at Willens Mills,: and it is. impossible to ascertain particulars.

Ymir Jttines Report c- a Big '��� Saving Through the Cyanide'.Treatment of the Company's Tailings. Lord Pauncefote Explains It. LONDON, June 22.���:In a tentative, "easy-going sort^fTw^y^tKe^cabinet^has' begun to consider the Nicaragua treaty matter. Lord Pauncefote has explained many things to lord Lansdowne, the feveisn secretary, and the latter is once more grappling the problem. It is needless to say that the foreign office has no intention of hurrying and in the course .of a'month or so'it may come to a decision. This will be the form.of. instructionfr to lord Pauncefote, who will return to the United States. The instructions will probably not be officially communicated to the state department until congress shall reconvene or the attitude of the senate in the matter shall bo definitely known. Lord Pauncefote will probably be permitted to interpret his instructions pretty broadly, and they should show signs of being, elastic enough to provide for any contingency except a direct refusal on the part of the senate to recognize, the validity of the Clayton- Bulwer treaty. Lord Lansdowne is as persistent as ever on this point; aud, however willing he may be to abrogate it, he wil vigorously maintain the potentiality of ..- the "Clayton-Bulwer treaty until such time as both signatories shall have agreed to its abrogation. A high official .in the course of conversation with, a representative cf the ��� Associated Press said* "Americans seem to, think we. are, trying to. delay the construction of this canal, but this is entirely wrong. We are just: as anxious as they to see it completed and are willing to do almost everything to further that end; but we do .not want to see a treaty we made in good faith torn up like a piece of waste paper, and we still consider that we are entitled to some quid pro quo for the relinquishing of our treaty rights." A recent special cable dispatch announcing thr.t the Nicaraguan matter had been practically settled and that Pauncefote, in consequence, would riot return to the United States has caused amusement. It is utterly unfounded.. On the highest authority the Associated Press is able to state that lord Pauncefote will remain ��� ambassador to the United States for the rest of his days, or so long as he cares to retain his position. Reports from Ainsworth are to the effect that the Highlander vein in the .Stevenson tunnel has now been cut for a distance of 37 feet and that the hanging wall has not-yet been reached.

The syndicate holding the bond on the Commonwealth, on Hooker creek, is preparing to resume work at- once with a good force of men. Work on this property was suspended two weeks ago on account of the surface water, .but this difficulty., to working no longer presents itself as" the snow is almost gone from the hill. The management of the Ymir mines have announced. by a circular. to their shareholders that as a result of the cyanlding experiments which have been carried on at the property for some months past, the company will be able to effect a saving of ?7000 per month. The results attained with the small plant were highly satisfactory, as 90 per cent, of the gold values were saved. The company computes the annual saving at ��17,000, or equal, to 8 1-2 per cent on the total capital of the company.. It is announced in London that the Athabasca mill will be shut down for two .months in order to allow development to be caught up with.

Few persons realize, when they are handling an ordinary siphon bottle, what a dangerous thing it r,eally is. The siphon bottles commonly used for vichy, soda water and other .efferves- cc-nt drinks are generally charged with a pressure of from 130 to 150 pounds to the square inch.' That means, in'plain language, that if a bottle so charged is allowed to slip from your hands, if only for a few fee.t, the jar is liable to cause a dangerous explosion. Byithe exercise of a small amount of care in handling the siphon, however, it will .be unnecessary to exclude it from the house. Many accidents might be averted if the fact that siphons won't stand any sudden jar nor extraordinary exposure to heat, nor even any sudden change of temperature, would only be remembered. Never grasp the cold bottle with the hand, as the sudden change in temperature thus produced is even more liable to cause an explosion than a sudden jar. So dangerous are these siphons considered to be by the-courts, if handled carelessly, that they always hold the bottler responsible for any damage caused by the explosion of one of them if even the smallest defect in the making of the siphon can be shown. Do not keep your siphons near the range, as the heat is liable to burst them, and when not in use, the best place for them is the ice box. When empty, the siphon is, of course, harmless. Drowned While Yachting. SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., June 23.��� Thomas Sloan of New York city, the colonel of the Old Guard, was drowned in a yachting accident off Keyser's island, South Norwalk harbor, this afternoon." . NEW ' YORK, June 23.���The London correspondent of the- New. York Tribune, -I. N. Ford, in a. dispatch dated London, 1 a. m., says:- Messrs. Merriman and Sauer left England yesterday . for South Africa materially consoled by the Queen's Hall demonstration for their failure to excite .pop-ular interest in their cause. Their f-.-ien.ds among- the active pro-Boers were "with them to the last, and there is much, organizing ability among them, but more zeal .than discretion. Many erroneous inferences have been drawn on the'continent from ^the=s**eeches~and_a,esoL'utions__of JMr. Labouchere's meeting a.nd -the Boer leaders in Holland have been greatly encouraged. The war ne*vs, meanwhile, has remained virtually unchanged. Dewet has apparently been crippled if not paralyzed by the loss of his convoy, which it is difficult for him to replace, and the advantage gained by tho Boers in surprising an isolated Australian detachment has.-.lreen a temporary gain. :': ~t Evidence that the British are gradually wearing down, the resistance of the Boers Is unmistftlrable when the enormous losses reported by general Kitchener in men..ammunition aud cattle are added up. There may he fresh surprises, but the fighting resources of the wonderful Dutch warriors are apparently well ni__i. exhausted. istrates or grand ju��*i���� may cdtt��id er it their duty to do after an exfttnin.a- tion of the prima facie evidence, A Pe��ar charged with a crlmlm-i offense can toe tried only by the house i rt lords. By the irony of the privileged -.vder, the most uncompromising radical * among the peers, if committed by a l nagistrate and indicted by a grand jury, -would be left at the mercy of the Tory lords serving as judges and jury. The . procedure is 'so unusual that the radict d�� are disposed to assert that whatev er becomes of the bigamy case, earl R ussell will be Instrumental In bringing - about an abatement of the privileges of the peerage. Whoever reads the full report of the procedure in the Cardigan c *ase will not be at a loss to forecast what would he the effect upon public opink m if a similar travesty upon justice ana", common sense were to be enacted \Wlth pomp and ceremony. The lords in ,that instance, with stately ceremony, solemnly acquitted lord Cardigan beet uise he had been indicted for shooting at ^Harvey Garnett Phlpps Tuckt-tt, ^whereas the witnesses for the cro\ *a had identified him with Harvey Tuck'- ett. It is not strange that the_ peerage*, has been screened from criminal -prosecution for 60 years, when the dignity of the privileged order depended upon a thread so slender. The upper house, with its immunities froin-ordinary criminal jurisdiction, comes out-well-after an Inspection of the records, only four peers and peeresses having been tried for felony by their peers since.the reign of George II. and only three Irish peers iri the 18th century. The best precedents for earl Russell would be the trials of lord Cardigan for dueling arid; the duchess of Kingston for bigamy, each of whom was accultted. English Politics. The Unionist press is jubilant over the wrangling now In progress among the Liberals, -and is forecasting the break up of the opposition. Undue stress is laid upon recent speeches ahd divisions. Mr. Asquith and Mr. Morley will remain where they are under the leadershjp���bf Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman and the factions will go' on quarreling among themselves until the war in South Africa is brought to a close. There can be no unity on the Liberal side while this' source of disturbance remains, but Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman is!a convenient figurehead until the real leader capable of rallying the, party with real authority comes to the front. Mr. Asnuith has infuriated the Radical hotspurs, but displayed his strength of character and the \ courage of his convictions and thereby improved his own chance*-* for succession to the leadership ,when~ South 'Africa'no longer holds the neld. The.gov-. ernment is. delivered from critiefsm tjp- the guerilla warfare- on the' Liberal' sjide -.and -it<-. is, vulnerable -at many; 'points. The war has been neither well managed nor well financed,-and the military reorganization scheme ���'is an artificial pretense. The session'has been wasted, and there will be-"a meager record of legislation. There is no effective center of ministerial vigor unless it i be the colonial office, where Mr. Chamberlain keeps everything in order, even when laid up with the gout. The approaching, colonial conference promises to be most important, with points of divergence between Canada and Australia, but Mr. Chamberlain" can be depended upon to intervene, at the right moment as a judicious peacemaker.

The case of the prosecution against earl Russell was disclosed in the Bow street proceedings yesterday, which ended with the 'committal of the earl to await the action of the grand jury. The validity of fhe divorce obtained by the earl in Nevada' will be attacked without reference to the question whether a marriage contracted under English law can. be dissolved by the processes of American. The prosecuting authorities clearly hold that the divorce secured in Nevada was illegal under the laws of that state and under recent decisions, of the United States supreme court and consequently that the earl contracted a bigamous marriage, even under a strict construction of the American law. It is expected that the trial by the house of lords Will follow rapidly the indictment by the grand jury, as parliament is in session, but there is a possibility that the defense will ask for delay in order to obtain evidence from Nevada respecting the various alleged irregularities in divorce proceedings.

In this connection the Field says: "We are aware that British sailors know no fear, but to say that experienced men "would delight to cross ��� the Atlantic In a cutter like the Shamrock I. is the wildest absurdity. We contend that such a race would be no test of the strength of the yacht or of seamanship, because if the weather were fine the strain would be less than in a choppy sea of the channel, and if the weather were foul the yachts would assuredly be wrecked. Mr. Thomas Lawton's assent Is probably due to disappointment in other quarters, but we would be gratified to find that the owners of the Constitution decline to be drawn into a game of bluff at such an early stage of the proceedings." Surrender of Cailles. SANTA CRUZ, Province of Lagima Island, June 24.���General Cailles surrendered here today with C50 men and 500 rifles. Oaths of allegiance to the United States were administered to the former insurgents. ���x77&iS��iM7 VANCOUVER, June 23���[Special to the Tribune.]���An atrocious series of murders occurred today at Ladner, a village at the mouth of the Fraser river; opposite Steveston, about 20 miles from here. All the details that could be learned tonight were that a Chinaman had entered a shack in which five other Chinamen were lying asleep. It ap- ^ pears that without making any noise to awaken the sleeping men, the murderer attacked flrst one and then another with an ax. The flrst Chinaman was killed before the others awakened. The cries of the second which the bloodthirsty Chinaman attacked awakened two others and in the darkness , they attempted to rescue him. These , three men were cut by-the fellow in all parts of the body and so badly injured that they will all die. The fifth succeeded ln stopping the murderer before further damage had been done, although the fifth man himself * was seriously Injured. 'He finally laid out the murder-crazed Chinaman ,by .hitting him on the head with a.board. , ''���''%��J&�� Then the fifth "man himself collapsed ' ^r.tfm and the'whole six were found-lying in y '* "^"^ pools of their own blood early this morning by other Chinamen who happened to pass that way. The scene was a frightful one that met the gaze of police officers who mode thei flrst investigation. There was blood and torn clothing strewn all over the floor from one end.of the little room to the other. One Chinaman was quite ' dead and from their wounds surgeons believe that not one of the other three can recover^ The details as given are related by the fifth man, who is in the hospital. " Little is known so far of the cause of the terrible murders. There appears to have been a standing grievance between the murderer'and the five men he sought to kill, the trouble having occurred over a Chinese woman who recently arrived there. The murderer recovered'early' today from the wound that prevented (, him from killing the fifth Chinaman, -and this evening was brought up to Westminster' jail. He maintained a^ < stolid indifference of' the results of his~ . crime. Other Chinese in Ladner say he has manifested crazy fits for several days. .-. : ��� ��� -. ":.

THE HUHSONTOY COMPANY Mr. Chamberlain said his majesty's government has represented to the Queensland government that the bill in'question is open to objection on grounds both of principle and of policy; first, because it embodies a disqualification based solely on place of origin, and would therefore exclude British subjects in India and elsewhere, not on account of any moral, educational or physical deficiency, but solely on difference of race and color; secondly, that, it is offensive to Japan, a friendly power, inasmuch as it not only excludes natives of' that country from employment, but also places them in the same category as Asiatics generally, without any consideration being paid to their state of civilization.

One of these obnoxious conditions reads as follows: "2. The ' " company has given ��� security to the " satisfaction of the lieutenant gover- " nor in council: That the lieutenant . " governor in council shall ' have the "right from time to time to'fix the ". maximum rates of freight and passen- " ger traffic, and the company, shall " not charge rates higher than those - " so fixed. That xin the event of- the " Dominion legislature bringing this "railway company.under the exclusive " jurisdiction of the parliament of Can-' '.' ada the foregoing conditions shall be '.' carried out by the .company as a con- " tract and obligation of said company " prior to any other charge thereon." But the most obnoxious condition of all reads as follows: "And whereas it is "desirable to secure for..the smelters " and refineries in the counties of Yale "and- Kootenay~in���the_saId^provinee7= " an adequate and sufficient supply of " coal and coke; Now. therefore, this " agreement witnesseth, that .the par- " ties hereto mutually covenant and " agree as follows, that is to say: 1. "If at any time hereafter it shall ap- " pear to the lieutenant governor in "council that there is-reason to believe "that a supply of coal and coke for " use in tho counties of Yale and Koo- " tcnay is not furnished by the company " at all times, now or hereafter, in suf- " ficient quantities to the smelters and " refineries in' said counties, the lieuten- " ant governor in council may, by or- " der In council, refer such question to " arbitration under the provisions of "tho Arbitration A'ct arid 'amending " acts." Sixty days have not elapsed since the charter with the obnoxious clauses was granted, and word comes from Victoria that the owners of the charter, using- G. G. S. Lindsay, K. C, of Toronto, as their spokesman, say that "the frequent trampling under foot " of provincial rights by companies, -' which, having secured valuable con- " cessions from the province, placed " themselves, beyond its jurisdiction " and control through" the medium of " a Dominion charter, had weakened " the faith of the public in all railway " enterprises. Our company saw a *; chance of proving its bona fides and " at the same time assisting the gov- " ernment and people of British Colurn- " bia to establish an important prece- " dence in railway legislation, abandoned its application- for a Dominion " charter and will carry out the under- " taking under the provincial charter."

The Late'Edward Murphy. (Toronto Globe.) The death of Edward; Murphy, for7 'mer-ly of Newmarket, at;-his residence, Bernard avenue; leaves, a great void in Catholic circles in this city. Born in the County Cavan, Ireland, in 1837, he came tb Canada in early boyhood, where he ' became connected with railway ��� building and other public: works .and at the'age of 18 was oh the engineering staff of the Grand Trunk railway; ���< He spent his active manhood as general' contractor, and constructed some.of.the largest ocean piers and government works in eastern Canada. He resided for many years in Newmarket, where he became an active supporter of the Conservative party, and their candidate for the provincial legislature in 1879. Mr. Murphy was a man- of unsullied character and enjoyed the confidence and affection of a large circle of friends. He was a fervent Roman Catholic and for many years a member of St. Basil's parish. One son, Edward N., is mining recorder of the Goat River Mining division, British Columbia. Why Royal Sanction Was Withheld. In the house of commons Patrick O'Brien asked the secretary of state for the colonies why the royal sanction had been refused to an act passed by the Queensland legislature, prohibiting the employment of Asiatics and other colored laborers in sugar mills receiving financial help from the government. , The undersigned have received in- ttructions from the Ontario Powder- Works to offer for' sale by public auction in the stable building on Hall street, bewteen Baker and Vernon streets, and known as the Reynolds stables, ir the City of Nelson on'" TUESDAY, JULY 30th, 1901 At 1 O'clock P.

' This has been an off season for trapping along Kootenay lake. It has been marked by a growing scarcity of marten as well as by a number of accidents to trappers. Bear were fairly plentiful but a slump in prices has operated against the pelt hunters. There is no change in the loc_l .i;.u- ation with regard to the trackmen's strike. Within the past two days ihe meu have shown that they have an excellent organization, and the strike order is now generally being regarded. So far nothing but the best of feeling has been manifested and thero is not even a hint of trouble of any kind. The people of no town in Canada pull' better together than the people of Nelson when questions are up for consideration .that benefit the town. It lis true, that there is a disgruntled element, in Nelson, as there is in all towns, but in Nelson that element is without property and without- influence.. They are deadbeats and deadheads. ��� It has been suggested that a fat man's race be one of the features at the .celebration, and that the lirst prize be the 42- pound crate of jam, and th? t.cc.- ond prize the box of cigarettes.

Peter Kennedy has a two months' term on a conviction for petty theft, and has also to stand trial upon a. more serious charge of theft. John Smith, the third man, has also been committed,on a charge of theft. The secretary of the Nelson gun club has received word that,the Revelstoke gun club; will send a team to Nelson to compete in the trap shooting tournament on tlie second day of the celebration. This, it is expected, will revive the interest of the members of the local .duty, and bring out a better attendance at the" meetings. There were but live at the traps on Saturday, and shooting at 25 birds tlio highest score made was that of E. Criddle, who secured 17. The other scores were: Goepel 15, Boucher 13, Pollock 12, and S.

A stove set too close to the partition had strated a small blaze, and when the" firemen arrived the rooms were filled with smoke. The ch.emlc-.il was used, with the realist that the fire was put out without iho *;hghtest 'Uam-ige from water. Had tiie department -"-en obliged to use water r-msiderabl*- damage would have resulted to the stocks of Fred Irvine & Co. and W. F. Teetzel & Co. As it was, the loss aside from the damage by, smoke will not exceed $14. . Southwest Miners' Association.
