November .6.���A dispatch from admiral Caillard receiver! here tonight, but dated this morning, announces that his squadron is still lying before the island of Mitylene. No landing has ye.

A heavy sea is ruaning BOER FIGHTING STRENGTH Estimated'at 30,000 Men. : WASHINGTON, November C. ��� General Pearson, quartermaster-general of tho Boer army, now in Washington, says the,two South African "republics still .'have over 30.000 fighting men in the field. The Edinburgh Scotsman, a very reputable paper, estimates the utmost possible enrollment of the Boer forces, from, first to last, at S5,000, and believes there are not oyer 10,000 now in the ���field. If. general Pearson's larger estimate of 30,000 men still fighting is correct it m earis that Dutch rcc-rui ts from Cape Colony and Natal havo reinforced , the republican armies to the .extent of 20,000 men or more. * r --;-,, - ,: The Boers have never officially stated their own losses. Kitchener has reported nearly 12,000 men deducted from the fighting"strength of the Boers'��� for the nine months that ended on September 30th. last: The British government claimed to hold about ,30,000 Boor prison ers a t th e end of -the first: fif teen months- ot the war. According to British military reports about 1500 Boers were killed in action, 3000 died of camp diseases and 100G wore taken prisoners hy. the Portuguese and sent to Lisbon in the same fifteen months of fighting. This accounts for -17,000 fighting Boers in all, without allowing any to have been disposed of by voluntary surrenders, which British reports put at 3000 un to January 1st, 1901. If there" are 10,000 Boers still in arms, as the Scotsman estimates, the total enrollment of the republican armies from first.to last has been about 60,000 men. If the*Boer quartermaster-general is correct in his larger estimate of 30,000 Boers still fighting, the total number engaged in the conflict up to the present time is 80,000. The total population of the Transvaal and the.Orange Free State when the war began was 423,000. A liberal allowance of capable fighting men would be one in five of that total, which would give not quite the S5,000 fighting total which the Scotsman estimates. But the Dutch population of Cape Colony and Natal is at 1 oast 200,000, givingjinother .0.000_pos^ %i BI e���recri 1 i ts"f or"tlie~Boer ar mi es.

These figures indicate that the Republicans will be able to organize the house of delegates. PHILADELPHIA, November 6. ��� Practically complete returns from the state give Harris (Republican), for state treasurer 52,260 plurality and Potter (Republican) for supreme court judge 47,930 plurality.

A number of counties have not yet completed the returns of the vote on tho proposed, constitutional amendment?} providing for changes in the ballot law, hut the figures received from two-thirds of the state indicate that the amendments carried by a large majority, although the aggregate vote on this question fell far below that cast for the stat-3 candidates.

Several of the ministers of the powers have called to express sympathy. The Chines-, officials are somewhat uneasy concerning the effect his death"will have on the populace, and to guard against a possible. ~ anti-*for.Ign demonstration the Chinese generals have disposed their troop1? about the city in such a way as to com-_ mand the situation. Trouble, however, is extremely probable. The wife of earl Li and his two sons and daughters wera- with him. Thoy are distressed. Chinese ��� officials throng tho yamen. Telegrams, have been sent summoning prince Chine, who is now on his way tc meet the court,., and Chou Fu, provincial treasurer, from- Pao Ting Fu. The former will, assume the formal charge of govermental affairs, and Uie latter will act as governor of Chi Li until Li Hung Chang's successor,, who will probably be Yuan Chi Kai, is appointed. >' Robert Coltman, an American, who was one of Li Hung Chang's physicians, told the correspondent of the' Associated Press that when he was called to act with Dr. Velde of the German legation, No\ ember 1st, he found the patient M-ey weak from severe hemorrhages du-.�� to ulceration of the stmach. "Tho .hemorrhage v as readily controlled," said Dr. Coltman, "but owing to tho underlying condition of chronic gastritis with poisonous rauspa only the mildest liquid food could bo digestert. Yesterday he was cheerful and without pain, but at 2 o'clock this morning he became unconscious and wsvs no longer able to get rid of the collection of mncous which he hart freely expectorated. Death was expected, " owing lo the symptoms supervening upon gradual carbonic acid poisoning." Throughout the evening digitalis was frequently administered. Earl Li's persistent refusal to refrain from attending to government business aggravated his malady, while,the refusal of his family to permit certain measures customary in western medical practice fe:r relieving tho stomach contributed to hasten his end. =WASHINGT(0Nt=D=e^November-'3. ��� A cablegiam has been received at.the. state department from minister Conger at Pekin stating that Li Hung Chang is dying. Tho death of this distinguished Chinaman will not. it is believed he"-.*., affect the executions of undertakings imposed upon China in tbe protocol. Certainly the United States interests will not bo involved directly, for all that remains to be done at Pekin in which our government is interested is the preparation of trade and commercial treaties and their lines have been so clearly marked that tlm. work-to be dono Is almost mechanical and it is not 1'kely to be retarded by Li Hung Chang's death. Carrier Pigeons Are Spies. VIENNA, November C���The Austrian government has determined to trea*c cuirlcr pigeons belonging to anotlij-* power as t-pios.

The Tribune has outlined a plan, ol redistribution of the seats in the provincial legislature. TI_�� plan as outlined does not increase the present membership of the house, and it gives cities liko Vancouver, Victoria,. New Westminster, j Nanaimo, Rossland, and Nelson*a mem-i her for each 5000 of 'population. This would leave Victoria's representation as it is (4 members), New Westminster and Nanaimo as they are (one member each), give Rossland and Nelson tiie representation of New Westminster .and Nanaimo (that is, one member c;_.ch), and increase Vancouver's represent-'.tion by one (that! is, raise it from.foTtr to five.)

Mr. Kellie's ideas are given in the appended letter: REVELSTOKE, November 4.���To the Editor-of The Tribune: A close scrutiny of your forecasts of a redistribution measure shows tip many startling, and objectionable features. When you advocate 14 members for Yale-Kootenay district we cordially support the proposition, but when you propose throwing the Revelstoke and Golden "ridings into one will* one representative, and favor tbe amalgamation of Kamloops and' West Yale ridings with only ono re-presentar tivei we have no hesitation "in stating that, it is the supreme essence of unqualified double distilled gall. Following ou. another theory advanced by The Tribune that' 3154 of a population- should constitute a riding in Kootenay and Yale districts (outside of the big centers of population), thait principle applied to Lillooet, Cariboo and Cassiar would only entitle those; ridings to two members. ��� If "it takes 3154 of a population to constitute a riding in thickly set.cied portions of Kootenay, the same should be applied to Cariboo, Cassiar, Lillooet and Vaacou- ver'Island. It is a poor rule that cannot be universally applied to all sections of the province. Cassiar, Cariboo and Lillooet with that principle in vogue would lose four representatives and West Yale and North Kootenay two, a loss of six sctats north of a line drawn across the mainland from east to west 100 miles north of the boundary line, only leaving four members to represent that enor4 mous area. The carrying out of The Tribune's suggestion jvvould practically. give=southeast*=British_C51uh;blaT.2"rept resentatives out of the 14 that would be alloted to Yale-Kootenay. Whether intentional or otherwise the concentration of such a political power in the &ns p-tfbr ^iHyf^u^e4 ~. O/fvL^h south would practically disfranchise the northorn portions of the mainland, res4 trict its influence in tho legislature and throw all the patronage and prestige in-- to a comparatively small portion of tho province. One stands appalled at the unmitigated nerve. displayed by ThS Tribune ir. its advocacy of s-uch an iniquitous measure: 12 members working in unison In the interests*-* of southeast British Columbia would dominate the legislature and carry any measure, and smash any government that failed to meet their demands. That section has been coddled nnd nursed and have had all the resources of the provincial and dominion governments at tlieir Deck and call for years to the neglect of other portions just as promising, just as rich in mineral and destined to become just a3 populous when favored with transportation facilities.

This is, of course, the belief in a general way of many modern enthusiasts in-the.field of hygiene. At more or less regular intervals .the cry goes up that kissing is barbarous and unnecessary, that, a hand- shako ought to satisfy "every exigency of. human affection, and that the poets ought to be deprived of the chief stock in trade of the conventional sonneteer. These campaigns, however, are usually the outgrowth of theory. There are facts, it now appears, which adorn the tale with far more startling emphasis.* It is not so many weeks ago that a Chicago girl died from a kiss. Her lov.r had an attack of scarlet fever. While convalescent she went to see him. The^e was little prudence in their manner of greeting, and the next week the girl herself fell ill from the malady that had been transmitted .to her through her lover's lips. It was a tragedy in the end. And tho girl's-parents successfully sued ' tho incautious lover for heavy damage.?. A single kiss has been known to cause not one death alone, but many. A ley years ago a whito woman, a waitress in a restaurant at danger', near Salt Lake City, permitted a negro to kiss her puo- licly. Witnesses of the episode were so *.-.* enraged that they commenced a five- days' campaign against all the negroes;, in the city, who,'of course, look the part, of their colored comrade: Thirty-six white men were either killed or wound- nd, to say nothing of eighty-negroes, and at the end of that time the waitress astonished everbody by marrying her colored lover., This by no means settled matters, for the inegroes thereupon joined forces with the white men, and the newly married couple, only just succeeded in escaping from the city with their lives. .. On two occasions kisses have cost the lives of many brave soldiers. The beautiful duchess of Gordon in 1794 raised the famous Gordon Highlanders by giving a thousand recruits a kiss and a golden sovereign apiece. This method of recruiting proved so successful that tho . regiment was raised to its full strength in a few days, and the duchess placed her son 'in command. The men were then sent out against the French, and ���in-tlip-vpr-y-first-_l*iat.tle^in--which_-they_ took part more than 250 fell either killed or wounded, so that it can be truthfully said that they paid for the duchess's kiss with their lives. But prior tc this, in '171., a war was brought about by a thoughtless kiss on the part of a young Bavarian prince of somewhat reckless character named Ferdinand. During a visit to a neighboring state he inadvertently kissed a beautiful member of the royal household, princess Thyra, ignorant of the fact that she was already affianced and that her betrothed happened to bo stand- ing near and witnessed the incident. High words ensued, followed by blows, ..and a duel was arranged, which led i.o diplomatic relations between the. two nations being discontinued. Ultimately a war broke out which, although ;t only lasted barelv six weeks, resulted in the demise of more than 1,000 men before peace was finally declared. One of the most fatal kisses ever known was that given by a young Spanish sailor to his fiancee nine years ago, for it brought about tne decimation of si town.' The Madonna, a Spanish vessel, put into tho little seaport of Can- tlalo, on the coast of Florida.-flying tho yellow flag, and was accordingly ordered to remain in-quarantine, for more than one member of the.crew exhibited symptons of bubonic plague. But the sailor in question disobeyed orders and nut off in a boat for the shore one evening where, having sought out his fiancee ' whom he had not seen for some ���vli'rs he embraced her. A fW davs later the effects of the -ki��s becan:e painfully evident, though Sf S"t returned to lus sh,P by stealth the game night The girl sue -cumbed to the plague J^c�� spread through the town po rapidly tnat moie than 200 persons &ffd out of a total population of 3,500. Secretary Long on McKinley. Secretary of the navy Long writes' Jj) ���-.the November Century of the persona). ���charar.tetis.ltes of president McKinley, with whom his relations were v?.y intimate. Mr. Long-says of the late president that he had no enojni.es. because "he would not cherish enmity .>r mako letilution.*" "I never saw a man wilh such aw -even and unruffli-d temper. iDnring -tli-* years in which 1 was with him, under the strain of war, iu heat of the congestion of. closing congresses, under the* pressure for place, .1 never heard him utter an impatient word. He never scolded nor whined. He never showed irritation i-either at the cabinet board nor, so far as I know..in separate conversation with its members." Mr. Long likens the late president to his great predecessor Lincoln in'many ways. Lik& Lincoln ho was, he tells us, accustomed to preface tho serious* business of. the cabinet meetings with, humorous anecdotes of fine quality. His personal habits were extremely simple, and uiiriHsiimiug. Mr. -Long r.poaks , of him as tho "very ideal of serenity and deliberation," and says that only once. did-he see him in a state of nervous excitement. That was during the events- leading up to the Spanish war, which ' he mado every effort o avoid. His ex-; citement manifested itself in his repeatedly sitting for a -moment then rising and sitting again. It is Mr. Long's opinion that Mr. McKinley met greater problem?, of ad- : ministration than any other since Lincoln's time, and that on the -whole ho was more fortunate in escaping bitter;*J criticism than his predecessors,, a-ndi notably more so than Lincoln. But we must* no fcrget that Lincoln was at' th* head;of a nation divided against itself,, while "McKinley was the chief magistrate of a united people waging war of liberation ..gainst a foreign foe.��������� New York World. Presidential Limitations. For a president to accept an invitation to dinner is an impropriety. This was the rule respected by Washington. Adian.s and perhaps the other early presidents. Frequent informal call:, upon members of the cabinet were* only deemed perfectly proper. But lat-jr presidents have called upon and dined with whoirisc.'Ver they have seen fit For each member of the cabinet to formally entertain the president and his wife at dinner each winter has now become an established social custom. The prtsident must not leceive any but intimate -friends on Sunday. This was another rule of the early days. =Even--=today^=reasonable=eonsideratton.= for the chief executive forbids disturbance of his Sabbath rest, and few officials pay him a Sunday call unless they be upon tlie most intimate terms with him. The president never pays a first call except upon the arrival of the head or v. foreign slate in Washington. When, president Dole of Hawaii and president Iglesias of Costa Rica visited the capital a few years ago. president McKinley paid the first call upon each. Happily they were quartered at hotels Had they been guests at legations of their countries a social complication might have arisen. The president must not nr-t.pr any foreign embassy or legation. This is au- ether unwritten law. The official residence of an ambassador or minister accredited to Washington is foreign territory, technically if rented, but actually if owned by its government. It is considered improper for the chief exfcutive to go aboard a foreign warship, even when anchored in our harbor, and flying tlie colors of a friendly state. Every nail and splintor of such vessel is considered foreign territory. A president of the United States must not make a formal call upon any one except a president-elect, an ox- president, a president, of a foreign state or a reigr.ing monarch visiting our capital. This is an ancient law laid down in Washington's* time. . Carnegie Declined a Baronetcy.

It seems that the postmaster is not at fault. ��� as the following letter goes to show; \ but his letter shows that the officials,' who make the postal arrangements for. this country are a set of blockheads: To the Editor of The Tribune: My" attention has been call'ed to an-article in your issue of the .th instant, in .vhich . you make charges regarding ' the' for-' ���warding of mail from this office to Nel-. son, Avhich are not founded on facts. This office makes up a direct pouch daily for Rossland but for no other point in British Columbia, in which is placed mail for Nelson and air other Kootenay points. The only other way we can ���send it is? to place it on the south-bound pouch of the Northport & Spokane Railway Company, in which it would be carried to Spokane, and there pouched back on the return trip the following j3tisirieRS in the city by the k'ke. Ore is again moving ovor the K. & S. railway at a lively rate, but this does not benefit the city so much as does the activity up the forks of Kaslo creek and in McGuigan basin, Eill of vhich territory is directly tributary to Kaslo's merchants. The recent tax sales have put several thousand dollars in the city treasury and all of thj property not bought in by ovhers has been bought in by the city.

As Mrs. De Wet seemed unable to understand hint, tho officer placed a dozen egg's in a circle on the table with a half crown in the middle. The eggs, he explained, pointing to a portrait of De Wet on the wall, was her elusive husband. It was an excellent object-lesson and it was perfectly successful.

A Slot Machine Restaurant Tho automatic buffet at Earl's Court seems to be the first step toward the disestablishment of the barmaid and tho v/aiter.

It does not smile or thank you, and you cannot flirt with it; but, on the other hand it docs not expect a tip. All the customer has to do is to propitiate the gold in thc machine witli the requisite penny or pennies, and straightway he gets the cup of tea or coffee, the lemon-squash, the sandwich, the slice of cake or the bread and butter, or -whatever else ho may want to cat out of the dozens of eatables and drinkables that are displayed for his choice. If ha prefers some!..tea-!'brewed to his own taste he puts,.fourpence in the slot and takes out a little tray with a supply of sugar ahd cream and dry tea in a pot ready for infusion with the boiling water from an adjacent tap. For the present the buffet is conducted on teetotal principles, but the invention can also be relied upon to measure out strong liquors with the steadiest hand. ��� London Truth. ���_ Almost 30,000 Majority.
