Unless this policy is adopted a great rebellion is certain." t( A Six Inning Game Which Furnished ��� No End of Amusement for Appreciative Spectators. The ball game yesterday between the lawyers anil the employes of the provin- v cial government' offices resulted in an easy victory for the lawyers, much to the surprise of the people who thought they were in the know. The government men were supposed to have got into fine shape as the result of several weeks' practice, but what is causing the greatest wonder today is just the kind of a game they would have played had '���'. they entered the field witli no practice at all, as the members of the lawyer",' team did. The general opinion was that tlie government men were going to have a ��� walkaway with their battery of Laing ,' and Henderson, but the result of the game will show that the batters on the lawyers' team did most of the walking on charities. Laing got credit for an. even dozen strikeouts, but ho "was. as > wild as a hawk, keeping: Henderson jumping around in the almost hopeless ���endeavor to connect with his delivery. ' In addition to sending 10 men to first on balls, Laing had six wild pitches charged up against him, all of which occurred while the lawyers were cir- ;''��� cling the bases, and he also sent two of the lawyers to first- by hitting them. Tom Henderson was the only member of the government team who made anything like a creditable showing. When he was younger he was quite a ball - player and a little of the game still sticks to him. He made a trio of er- ���v rors, but the company he was in, 'no doubt,7 accounted for them, as errors seemed to be infectious.; At the bat he made the best showing of all. He was :\inly up three times. Twice in succes-,- sion he rapped the ball out for two bases, and the third time up he drew a base on balls from Elliott. Tom's two hits, with a.couple of scratch hits by .Simpkins and Tuck, were the. only: hits secured by the government iuen; during the same. - 7^...yxy^, -.. .^..; Jack * Elliott-did: the;twiriiiig'-fbr the .-Inv-yers. and after the first innings did very effective-work. He got nine strikeouts, and sent but six .of the government men to/.flrst on balls or being- hit by pitched balls. He was also fortunate in that he- received excellent support in the infield, and as Hendcr- - son and Jarvis "were the only government men to get the ball out of the diamond, this meant everything. The lawyers came out of the game with but two errors, Sherman's wide throw to third and Elliott's fumble of Mills' short hit between himself and Forin. Thr. lawyers' Infield also used their heads and always shut off the advanced men on the bases instead of playing for tlie batter. Of the outfielders Galliher was the only one who got a chance. It was a long fly from Jarvis' in the fourth inning, and Bill took it in like a veteran and then gracefully acknowledged the applause from the grand stand. Galliher also divided the honors with the J)_est_ofJ:heJawyei*s_at_the_bat._securin Cost of the War. LONDON, August 1.���In the house of commons today lord Stanley, the financial secretary of the war'oflice, replying to a duestion, said the cost of the war in South Africa from April 1 to July 31 was ��35,750,000, partly chargeable against the deficit of last year. The actual cost in July was �� 1,250,000 weekly. The statement was greeted with ironical Irish cheers. The chancellor of the exchequer, sir Michael Hicks-Beach, said if the war continued at the same cost for the next threo months it would necessitate spending the whole of the reserve he had provided for financing the 'third quarter, but he had reason to hope that this would not be necessary.

BALTIMORE, August 1.���The Democratic state convention, which met here today, declared that the purpose of the party if successful in the coming elections is to eliminate the negro from politics in Maryland if such a thing be possible under the constitution of the state. Upon this, the paramount issue of the campaign, will stand the candidates nominated today for state offices and those chosen in the various country and district conventions as candidates in the legislature of 1902, which body will, elect a United States senator to succeed George L. Wellington. That his successor in the event of Democratic victory will be Arthur P. Gorman is probable.'. The real business of the convention was the formulation and adoption of a platform upon which the Democrats could go before the people of the state with a reasonable show of winning. The combined sagacity of all the Democratic leaders in the state was called into requisition for this purpose and under the advice and guidance of Mr. Gorman the following declaration upon ��� the chief, issue was involved: The Democratic party represents more than 40,- 000 majority of the white people of Maryland. They, in common with their, brethren of other states in -which large masses of colored voters have been injected into the body politic, recognize that the peace, good order, personal safety ,and proper .development of our material interests depends upon the control of the commonwealth by its intelligent white residents. Without the aid of the 60,000 colored voters, the Republican party in Maryland would be a hopeless minority. We, therefore, without hesitation proclaim that the success of the Democratic, party will mean that while we shall deal with perfect fairness in securing all the. benefits of good government and full and free opportunities for education to all classes such action must be taken as to prevent the control of the state government from passing into the hands of those who have neither the ability nor the interest to manage public affairs wisely and well.

The placards protest against the imposition of the house tax saying it is only exacted in order tb meet the indemnity, to be paid the powers, and proceeds: "If money cannot be obtained, why not make war on the foreigners? China is not yet defeated. It is only the government's eyes, which are blinded by disloyal ministers. If we refuse to fight, then it is a case of being greedy to live, yet fearing death. How can the carefully studied military arts be used except against foreigners? How can we otherwise employ our regiments? During 1900 much money was collected through lotteries, gambling and general taxes, but they were never satisfied. If the house tax be collected we will demolish the chapels and drive out the Christians.

She was well-known in social circles and had been ill for several months. It is believed despondency, resulting from tho condition of her health, was responsible for the act. Mrs. Price spent the afternoon at Point Defiance Park with a IC-year-old companion. Returning: she left the car at Proctor .-treet and loitered about the bridge waiting for another car. Her excuse was that she desired to avoid the crowd on (he first car. Suddenly Mrs. Price asked her companion to look up the street a ail see whether any person was approaching. When the girl turned her head again Mrs. Price had disappeared.

It is believed Mrs. Price crept through an opening in the rail beside the footpath alongside the bridge and leaped into the gulch. A widower and small son survive her. Frank Watson and W. W. Greenwood of Spokane will leave today for the Fisher Maiden property on Slocan lake. The owners of the Fisher Maiden have agreed to ship- four cars of high grade ore to the Granby smelter at Grand Forks, anc} the shipping of this will be the first matter to receive the attention of Messrs. Watson and Greenwood when they arrive at the property. The Fisher Maiden is a high grade dry ore with its chief values in silver. There is a considerable quantity of ore on. the dump at present and the proposed four-car shipment will be made entirely from the dump without sorting. There is a small force of men employed on the Fisher Maiden in development. They are at present engaged in running the No. 4 tunnel, and only such ore as is met withJ in development is being taken out.. The work done so far has shown the ledge to be a strong one, 12 feet of which is well mineralized, with a paystreak, of several inches carrying high silver values. There is at present a great demand for the class of ore produced by the Fisher Maiden, but the owners do not intend to commence stoping until they, have their development well in hand. B. C.

Instead the-syndicate is said to be looking for an extension of time in which to more thoroughly prospect the property. There are a large number of interests represented in the bond and some difficulty may be expected in securing a unity of action with respect to the extension of the bond, although what is known as the Fowler interest has agreed to the wishes of the syndicate for a 30-day extension. Lem Luther of Ainsworth was in Nelson yesterday. He has been employed all winter in running a tunnel in on the Jackson Basin-group in the Slocan, he and Alex MeLeod having the contract for the work. Luther says that things are on the mend in the Whitewater camp. The Whitewater is starting up at once, and it is said that within a couple of weeks there will be a full force of men at work. The Whitewater is said to have made a contract with the " ville last night over the report that enough men to start two mills were coining from Apollo. Trains were closely watched and the river front patrolled all night, but no new men arrived. Surprise at Washington. ' WASHINGTON, August 1.���The break in the Venezuelan cabinet caused by the resignation of senor Pulido, the war minister, caused considerable surprise in diplomatic circles .here. The real situation apparently is not understood and especially the proposition to deliver his passports to senor Rico, the Colombian minister. This act ardinarily is regarded by diplomats as tantamount to a casus belli and officials here are at a loss to understand the reason for consideration of such ��� a step, as it is said that the relations of, the governments of Venezuela and Colombia are cordial. There .appears to be some inconsistency in the reports of the battle whicli has taken place near San Cristobal between the government troops and the rebels, the dispatches from Port of Spain declaring that the government troops sustained defeat, while a telegram received at the Venezuelan legation here today from the consul general of that country at New York announced the defeat of the revolutionists in the San Cristobal encounter. .

August 1.���The third day of the great strike opened with no decisive change In the situation, although the outlook for a settlement has improved. Tho City Front Federation, which controls the men now out, has submitted a series of proposals as a basis for the re-establishment of peace. Dispatches from various cities show that the strike is affecting cities along the coast. The steamer Columbia, which was to have sailed this morning for Portland with a full cargo and 200 Epworth Leaguers, has been held on telegraphic orders from Portland. The vessel was loaded by non-union men and it is feared her arrival at the Oregon port will precipitate another '.strike there. Contrary to their previously announced intentions the sand teamsters and stablemen have decided not to i*;o out, as the Federation thinks it can win without their aid. The fact of the sand teamsters remaining at work is expected to prevent the strike extending to the building trades. Now the Longshoremen.

DOGS AND MEN IN MONTREAL Judge Brents at Walla Walla, Washington, has declared the Sunday Closing .Law of that state unconstitutional as '.far as it refers to business houses other .'than saloons. The decision is based on - common sense. All people do not think alike on the Sunday Observance question. Some prefer to observe Saturday i as a day of rest and others Thursday. -These people have a perfect right to ' close their stores on Thursdays or Saturdays and keep open other days of the weok, provided they do not try to coni- ' pel others to do likewise. Sunday is by common consent observed as a day of rest; but those who prefer to work on that day and observe some other day as a day of rest should have that privilege. The announcement hy The Tribune that the smelter at Trail would be kept running as long as dry ores could be procured acted as a tonic on business 'men throughout the silvor-lead districts of Kootenay. Kootenay is a great mining country, and its silver-lead mines are v/liat made it and what it depends Create a Lively Scene. The Montreal Star of last Saturday contains an account of a dog fight and its results, which is interesting, and is given below in full: There was such a mix-up of dogs and humanity the other morning at the corner of Windsor and St. Antoine streets as has not been witnessed in this city for many a long day. It all started 'with a big white and hrowii-rac- u rfi. Bernard, who was standing quietly en- joyjng^th^sjmlighji-^iufi'pnt. 0_tLajliuig "store. It was half-past eight in the morning and the scene was calm and peaceful. A short, stout man came down the hill, followed by a bull dog. Whon the bull got opposite the St. Bernard, the big fellow growled, and in a twinkling there was a mix-up for your life. The bull was a little slow on the go in, but managed to get one of the St. Bernard's forepaws well down his throat, and proceeded to perform an amputation. The L��:. Bernard was not idle during the preliminary stages, but was slowly removing a large bunch of flesh and collar from the bull's neck." There was another big bull dog crossing St. Antoine about this time, and he immediately went over and took a hand in the argument. He tackled bull dog No. 1, of course, who now had all he could do to handle the St. Bernard and his new antagonist. The yelping of the three animals as they rolled about in a heap and tore away at one another, made a great sensation in the vicinity and a big crowd speedily collected. Crow bars -were produced to pry the animals apart and some one talked of exploding a dynamite cartridge in the middle of the bunch. An employe of the owner of bull dog No. 2 ran across the street with a bucket of water to pour upon the struggling animals, when the water went by mistake over the owner of bull dog No. 1, who was poking his fingers in his dog's eyes, hoping he would spit out the mouthful of St. Bernard which by this time was pretty much his own. Infuriated by this treatment, the owner of No. 1 dog got busy and knocked out the newcomer, who discreetly picked himself up and retired. Meanwhile the owner of dog No. 2, asleep when the combat flrst started, heard the row, and recognizing his dog's voice in the fray, rushed to the street in his nightshirt with a little tack hammer in his hand. His appearance in this neglige costume made a sensation, but the owner of bull dog No. 1. was mostly anxious as to what he was going to do with the tack hammer. So, as the new arrival lifted his little hammer to crack a dog's head, he was surprised by a blow which knocked him sprawling into the street, nightshirt and all. So he, too, retired from the field. The dogs were Anally disentangled, bull dog No. 2 ran across the street to his owner and dog No. 1 followed. This was where the owner of dog No. 1 made his only big mistake, and that was when he followed his dog into the shop. There were sounds of heavy thuds, and when the man came out he was in a worse plight than were any of the dogs after the battle. He had a hole in his ear,- another in his nose, and was generally pretty badly chewed up. These, it was subsequently discovered, were made on the intruder with an ice pick. Alto- together, it was as warm a time as has been seen in that vicinity for many a long day. Troubles in Colombia. KINGSTON, Jamaica, August 1.���The British steamer Texan, from Liverpool July llth for this port by way of Colon, has arrived here and brings information of the reports of severe fighting along the railroad for miles out of Colon Sunday and Monday last. The rebels attacked the government troops with determination and forced them back. When the steamer left there was great excitement among the residents of Colon, and they are leaving that city in alarm. The Colombian government has found it impossible to get a crew for their gunboat, but is placing guns on board of her. The English and American crew have deserted to a man. COLON, Colombia, August 1 (via Gal- rveston).���The report that the rebels have captured, three towns is an exaggeration. The facts are as follows: The rebels on Friday, Saturday and Monday raided at night time Gautun, Bohio and Bascobispo, three small railway stations without protection towards Colon, looting the Chinese shops of provisions, clothing, etc., and kidnaping several persons, withdrawing immediately afterwards. One woman was shot. The government has since garrisoned the three stations mentioned and is pursuing the rebels closely. Four trains are crossing the road daily as usual. -J��w��w^��'. %f'0" If 00*00'0S>-00'00'00'000-00 ^gj&^aqy *0!&iQK0 * 00' 00 '00*00 ���H5 (^x & jsr-s'-ezx.s!-' 4g*_*r>* ^4j__^ Tiittii- -i***-^' .

WASHINGTON, August 1.���Senor Don Augusto F. Pulido, charge de affaires of the Venezuelan legation, to-day received a telegram from the Venezuelan consul general in New York, general Esteves, confirming the report that the 5000 revolutionists were defeated in San Cristobal on July 29th. PORT OF SPAIN, -Island of Trinidad, August 1.-���The Venezuelan.minister of war, senor Pulido, who is the leader of an important political party, has resigned after a violent scene in the cabinet, during whicli the minister refused to accept orders of president Castro to recognize the revolutionists in Colombia as belligerents and to deliver a passport to senor Rico, the Colombian minister. .-.';��� Senor Pulido denies that the invaders of Venezuelan territory are Colombians, as president Castro claims, but insists that they are revolutionists. The resignation of the war minister has caused a profound impression here. The situation is critical. The government troops have been defeated in their first encounters with rebels near San Cristobal. 7 Other uprisings are taking place in the interior- of the .country.

BERNE, August 1.���An investigation of the report published in the United States that the anarchist, Galliotti, who was arrested at Viedokon last night by order of the prosecutor, was charged with being connected with the alleged attempt on the life of queen Maria Pia at Aix Les Bains, shows there is no foundation for the story. The public prosecutor's office is authority for the statement that Galliotti was arrested for disseminating anarchistic writings in Switzerland. The prisoner, who was born in 1871 at San Sofia, in the vicinity of Florence, Italy, is known as one of the most fanatical anarchists. He has undergone several terms of imprisonment, but there is no record of his having been engaged in any attempt at assassination. . The Speedy Dueschland. NEW YORK, August 1.���The Deutsch- land arrived in port this morning with more laurels to her credit. This time she made the greatest dailv run from noon of July 29th to noon of July 30th��� a distance of G01 knots. She also increased the average speed westward to 23.07 knots. This run was made over a distance of 31-11 miles. The Deutsch- land left Cherbourg at 0:59 o'clock on tho evening of July 20 (Greenwich time) and passed Sandy Hook lightship this morning, August 1st, at G:ll (11 hours 11 minutes, American Greenwich time), making the total distance in 5 davs 1G hours-and 12 minutes.

They nrc- commodious, well provided with light and uir, with a floor of wood plunking, covered with matting. These are the cells which contained the Jameson raid prisoners and In which W. T. Slead edited the Pall Mall Gazette. So far as the provision of the prison authorities arc concerned, earl Russell will have an excellent bed, a washstand, a water ewer, chair, looking- glass, with cup and saucer, plate and callar of salt with oilier lirst class misdemeanants. Tho earl will rise at 5 a. m., take his exercise and breakfast, either on prison faro or cocoa and bread or on any luxuries that ho may have brought in from the Cottage restaurant outside. A. pint of malt liquor or a half pint of of wirio is allowed to each prisoner por diem. The >>rlco paid for accommodation in one of lhe private- rooms at Hollowell, with a common prisoner as orderly, is $1.50 per- week. Karl Russell will occupy tho room- in which sir John AVIlloughby was incarcerated for his complicity in lhe Jameson raid. Countess Russell, the second, has seen colonel Miilman on obtaining for the earl exceptional fare and treatment. The countess said: "I have provided him with specia! furniture, bedding, books, writing materials and everything to make him comfortable. As �� detenu in the lirst division, he Is not only entitled to his own private room, no hair cropping, a certain number of visitors, Iris books and his correspondence, provided il is open for Inspection of the gov ernor of the prison, but he has also the privilege of having his meals supplied from the outside. I have arranged with a llrm of confectioners in Holloway Road to supply earl Russell with his food. At first they seemed rather averse to tak- nig the order, for It appears that some first class misdemeanants they supplied with food on previous occasions had, neglected to pay their bills. I ma-uaged to persuade them, however, to take my order, and this is what they will send in to my huabtiud day by day: Ho cats only the plainest food and is easily pleased. For breakfast ho will 'receive' butter, eggs, coffee and dry toast. His lunch, will consist of steak, green vegetables stewed fruit and cream, and dry toast. He eats no potatoes and prefers dry toast, as he is afraid of growing stout. .Afternoon tea he will have to dispense with, for although he is a tea lover, the rules of . Holloway permit of prisoners enjoying only three meals a day. His last meal of the day, therefore, will be dinner, and as at present arranged the menu will be; soup, joint, vegetables as at lunch, fruit,- pie and cream and dry toast. Drink? AVell, he is. a teetotaler and prefers 'water. We were both very much surprised at his sentence., Wc never expected after his plea that it would be more than the merely nominal one of a day." a We have just received a Consignment of Descendants of Edward Ball of Brant- ford, Conn., who are blood relations of George Washington, will hold a reunion at Keuka Park, New Mexico, August 27, 28 and 29.

A woman who created quite a stir in Paris at the court of Napoleon the Third, the comtesse de" Castiglione, died here- not long ago. She lived in absolute retirement for the last 15 years, on a little apartment on the Rue Cambon. Interest in her has been revived by her will, the sale of her pearls, pictures, furniture, etc. In her "will she orders that her nurse shall see her dressed after death, "beau." The directions she gives as to how she is to be dressed I leave in French, as I know little about women's clothes: "Chemise de unit 1S57 batiste, den- telles et peignoir long, rave velour noir, peluche blanche. Le collier de perles, tl rangs,_^ranss_blancs_eL3^noirs,_col: Tier habituel q ue jai toujours porte avec le sou troue en fermoir cristal, chirfre (deux Ventrolaces) et couronne que toutes les habilleuses connaissent. "Feet and arms uncovered. My embalmed dogs, Toto and Zig, 'buried with me; at my feet the rosary of the mountain; the medallion of Lourdes at my neck, with the pearls." Her pearls were sold at the Hotel Drouot the other day. A necklace of live strands went for 421,500 francs (."ft>4,ii00J. Five additional large single pearls went for nearly ?15,000. One of the newspapers says this about the sale of her portraits: "To the surprise of the auctioneer and the experts, prices went up in the most exaggerated fashion. Portraits of the beautiful countess, under the strangest and most varied aspects, in satin and silk mounts, embroidered with gold, were disposed of. * * * The colored photograph of the countess's bare legs, up to the knees, showing beneath a turned-up petticoat, was knocked down for 70 francs." The countess had the reputation of having appeared more or less nude at a ball given at the Tuileries by the empress Eugenie. ��� Pierre de Lano, who has written a good deal about the court of Napoieon the Third, contradicts this assertion, saying in his book, "Las Bals Travestis," that it was not the countess, but Mme. Gortschakoff, who appeared at the Tuileries in the costume of Salambo, which caused so much talk. He has in his book some 25 aquarelles, one of them showing the countess' bare ankles and feet with rings on her- bare toes. He gives another of Mme. Gortschakoff, showing her entire figure in tights with a scarf around her hips. He further says that princess Metternich was one of the most daring in her costume. At one ball she appeared as a coachman bf those days, virtually tights from the waist clown, and sang a very risque song. He says that the empress Eugenie, while cold herself and careful in her dress, liked to have the ladies of her court' in such undress fancy costumes. The Napoleon women, First and Third, seem to have been a curious lot. The inner life of Josephine is now known, and when the immediate descendants of those of the court of Napoleon the Third die, many things that are now locked up will be .given to the world.

Gortschakoff, nor any further than did the pjrincess Metternich, perhaps her chief fame ought to rest on the part she took in smoothing over the difficulties between Victor Emmanuel, and Pius the Ninth, when United Italy took to Rome, September 20th, 1870. It is stated that the pope,was advised by the cardinals to leave Rome and go to Gaeta. He was asked���so general Estancelin is reported to have said���to intermediate between the two powers, and the pope remained In Rome, much to the gratification of Victor Emmanuel. The pope being pleased, made the countess a present of a magnificent tiara surrounded by amethysts and emeralds, worth,.not considering the value of association, the sum of $5000.; Victor Emmanuel gave her as a recompense a jeweled medallion, with his portrait in the center, and these words from the donor: "To the beautiful Nichette, her unhappy master." Why king Emmanuel called himself so is probably because, though fighting for United Italy, he was at heart a Catholic, and loved Pion Nona ;���' General Estancelin said that the countess kept a carriage from 11 a. m. to 11 p. m. at her; door, but he had never known her to use it. She never went out during the day, walked in the evening around Place Vendome accompanied by two dogs (perhaps v Toto and Zig) and, excepting her7servants,, he was the only one she had admitted, to her darkened little drawing-rooms during the-last 15 years. For 45 years he had been her friend. Her letters, he went on, have been destroyed, by diplomatic intervention of Italy. He adds ���that she was satirical, biting, of an extraordinary conversational charm. One of the Paris papers hints that she had a "flirtation" with Victor Emmanuel. A curious little story, so unimportant that I have left it to the last, is told. She hated her-mother-in-law. Her husl*and\- got her into a carriage, almost forcing" her, and they went to call on his mother. When crossing one of the bridges over the Seine, she suddenly pulled off her slippers, threw them out of the window into the river, and said: "You certainly cannot expect me to call on your mother in my stocking feet."���-Covington Johnson in San Francisco Argonaut. New Democratic Issues. CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, July 31.���-W. J. Bryan, who lectured here yesterday, was asked as to the importance of the silver question in 1904, and replied: "No man can say at present the part the money question will play in the next campaign. That will depend on conditions. But various phases of the money =,question,ar.e-constantlyrpresenting4hom-= selves, and the Democratic party ought not to recede from its position on this question, although other questions may be of more importance for the time being. Those who are so much afraid of the Kansas City platform seem inclined to return to the methods employed when the financiers filled the platforrh with glittering generalities ind then ran the administration in the interest of Wall street. As a rule the men who are opposed to the Kansas City platform have no positive or definite remedy for any evil." Asked if he would be a candidate for the presidential nomination again in 1904, Mr. Bryan said: "I have said repeatedly that I hid a candidate for no office. However, I will not enter into bond never to become a candidate. It would be foolish in any man to announce his candidacy for such an office at such a time, and it strikes me 'as a foolish question to be contrhually put to me by the newspaper men." m to to to to to to 5!>1 Established In Nelson 1890.

He states that the mines are now producing about 2000 tons of coal per day, but that the output will bo largely increased if not doubled before the. end of the year. Last year the gross output of the Crow's Nest Pass collieries was 20G,- ifOi tons, half of which was made into I =are^iiciw'=^ere^tihg^_a"^riSw^Soist and are also putting in additional compressor power, an electric light plant and a 75-ton concentrator, all of which will be run by water power. AA'e have a minimum water power of 100 horse power, which is now being installed and will be completed on November 15th. After the completion of these improvements we will be able to double our output of ore." Mr. McLaine said: "AVe resent the report that has been circulated that the stock of the Rambler-Cariboo has seen more manipulation than any other on tho local market with the imputation that the stockholders were being jobbed by the management. No member of the management has ever bought or sold any contracts for the stock. AVe have always held In our opinion that the mine Is worth a great deal more than the stock was selling for." BOYS, DO NOT GO TO PERU No Country for Poor Men. Speaking of Peru, B. C. Riblet of Nelson who recently returned from that,eoun- try says, "It is a good country to look at from the stern of a steamship." Mr. Riblet was down there erecting tramways for American mining companies, and spent several months in the country, making three trips from the coast to the mines, which are situate at an altitude of 17,000 feet. "There are no strikes in that country," said Mr. Riblet, "because those who work are generally in debt to their employers, often getting their pay in advance. Miners are paid $1.25 a day in silver, whieh Is 00 cents gold. They appear to be good and faithful workers, but, of course, are not the equal of the miners in this country. Carpenters, apparently because they are scarce, are paid $3 a day in silver. Laborers on railway construction are paid -10 cents gold a day, and appear to do as much work as laborers do here on the same kind of work." Mr. Riblet says. In his opinion, Peru is no country for men of small means. The country although credited with having rich mines is almost wholly without transportation facilities, and those who undertake to open up and work the mines must be backed by large capital. A. AV. McCune of Salt Lake, .who is interested in mines in tho Slocan, is probably iri Peru by this time, Mr. Riblet meeting him en [ -j-g-Sm-j HI. IB-Y TELEPHONE 27 &D OO.

LAW IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL Walla Walla Judge's Decision. AVALLA AVALLjV, AVash., July 31.���That portion of the state law which declares no wares, goods or merchandise shall be sold in AVashingtoii on Sunday is unconstitutional, according to the decision handed, down by judge Thomas H. Brentz of the superior court' this afternoon. That all business houses in Washington except saloons can be thrown wide open on Sundays without fear of complaint and law is the text of judge Brentz's decision. The verdict is oiie of the broadest ever delivered in the state. Its rendering lasted nearly an hour. A week ago Sunday Dor- soy Nichols of College Place kept open store because ho was a Seventh Day ��\.d- ventist, in .spite of the prosecuting .attorney's order that everything should close. Today ho was arraigned for thev alleged violation. John Sharpstein, his attorney, held that the text of the code involved unjust discrimination among business houses and was therefore unconstitutional. In a two hour argument. he cited precedents and quoted law. His contention was, sustained. The judge said in brief: "f confess 1 have no sympathy with the Sunday laws. I think an act which- is wrong on Sunday is wrong on every other day of the week. What- tho legislature forbids to be done on Sunday, to be consistent, unless it be acting from religious motives, should, be prohibited throughout the week. As already intimated in some of the police court opinions, the legislature cannot discriminate between businesses of the same class, naturo" or character. It cannot prohibit one and allow another to go on if. there be no material difference between them. The statute contains this proviso: 'This section shall not apply to drug stores, livery stables or undertakers.' AVhy the legislature should discriminate against those who trade in dr..sell goods, wares, and merchandise and in favor of 11 very I cannot discern. But it appears to me there is a greater discrimination further on. The law says: 'It shall not apply to drug stores.' Now the drug store is a store for the sale of goods, wares and merchandise just as a store is for the sale of other goods, wares and merchandise. I am strongly impressed that this law is a discrimination against a business that uif- fers in no particular respect from the other businesses that are allowed to be carried on; one that cannot affect the morals, the health or general welfare of the t-ommun- ity in any different respect from what they are affected by those other .businesses. I have given what I think is the law. It is because I-think the legislature has transcended its power, and whenever I am convinced of that it is my duty to declare the act invalid." The decision means an open town again, except for saloons. A .struggle is anticipated with those, who" will probably make a desperate attempt to win out, now that the merchants are on top.

The following is from the Northport News of AVednesday and shows how men are being brought in to run the Le Roi smelter at Northport, at which there has been a strike for over two months: ' Last Sunday morning, about 5 o'clock, a locomotive, passenger car and caboose containing .',S workmen for the smelter, five guardsmen and a boss, armed to the teeth with six-shooters and Winchesters, slowly pulled through the city from the south and did not stop until it reached, the water tank, which Is at the side of the smelter grounds aird just outside of the eity limits. The union had been apprised of their departure from Spokane at (j o'clock the previous evening, and consequently wero lined up a hundred strong, reaching from tho depot to the water tank. Just abovo the water tank at tho south side of the railroad track and on the ground is a hill about twenty feet high, on which stood about 10 or 50 armed smelter men, with manager Kad- Ish, wielding a six-shooter, in the bunch. It was a wild looking sight,- and the actions of the resident smelter men were about on a par with the wild scene. Union men who tried to talk with the men had six-shooters thrust in their faces and told that if thoy insisted on going on the train or proceeding further they would be bored full of holes. The union men were nervy, however, and stood their ground, advancing upon the new arrivals and talking to them. The union men were cool, peaceable and unarmed, and as soon as the new and old smelter men had reached their quarters the union men dispersed to their homes. Most of the new arrivals were direct from Leadville, Colorado. Sunday evening two of the new smelter arrivals came down town and told the union president that they would not go to work, and that 10 or 15 more of the men would come out the next morning. On Monday morning several of them came out, more are talking of it, "and the probability Is that by this time they have nearly all emit.
