TELLURIDE, Colorado, November 21. .���Nearly 100 men were probably suffocated to death in the Smuggler Union miue in Marshall basin as the result of the fire which consumed the buildings at the mouth of the Bullion tunnel. Twenty-two miners are known to be dead and scores of others are either dead, or seeking safety in the remote parts'of the mine until the place shall bo cleared of foul gases and smone. Fire broke out in the tramway bunk-, house at the mouth oi tne Bullion tunnel, the principal opening from which the property is worked;, andj spread rapidly to the boiler and engine house and blacksmith shop. The tramway terminal, with its gieat ore bins, and sev-eral smaller buildings, were soon wrapped in flames. A strong draft blew the smoke from the burning buildings directly into the tunnel; and the mile of drifts, upraises and stopes connecting with jt began to fiill rapidly with smoke. In the excitement of trying to control th'e fire on the outside buildings the mine was forgotten and before the situation was realized the workings were fast filling "with" dense smoke. By this time the buildings about the mouth of the tunnel were all ablaze and nothing could be done to stop thc smoke from going in. As soon as it was possible-great bodies of rock were blown down into the tunnel mouth and the opening stopped, but not until the workings had been filled and the smoke was working its way through thc shafts to the surface, a mile or more up the mountain from the tunnel houses The day shift, somo 200 men, had gone into the mine and reached their stations before the fire started. It is known that some of the'men escaped through the" old. Sheridan tunnel and also through the eld Union workings, but they are thought to have been the small part of the force in the mine. The Smuggler Union is the largest mine in the Telluride district, the output being about two-thirds of the total from the camp. Only a meager report of the disastrous fire at the Smuggler Union mine near Telluride, .Colorado, has been received by the local oflicers of the company. It is not known here this morning whether the loss of life will reach 100. as feared, or whether any bodies havo been found in addition to the 22 which were recovered and identified last night. The damage caused by fire and the loss of buildings is estimated at $18,000, but the mine will have to be closed for at len.l a month. Persons who came into town today from tho Smuggler Union mine, four miles distant from Marshall Gulch and the mountains, said the workers had almost abandoned hope of finding any of the imprisoned men alive. Every entrance to the property is the scene of active work and in vain repeated attempts are made to enter the mine. The men are . forced back helpless and strangling from the foul smoke which fills the tunnels and levels. Notwithstanding the dangers and difficulties the officers declare the efforts will be continued until every body has been le- '-covered and v/ill be hastened as-rapidly as possible in the hope that many may be found alive. Telegraph and telephone wires were destroyed by the fire and the only means of communication is by messenger. DENVER, Colorado, November 21.��� At a late hour today twenty-three bodies all told have been recovered from the Telluride mines. An attempt was made today to enter the ninth tunnel north, but on account of. the density of tho smoke it was impossible to do so. It is stated by "one of the officei'S of the company that.only three or four men are missing and that the total number of dead will not exceed twenty-five. Later.-���The number of victims of the terrible disaster in the Smuggler Union mine "yesterday is now said to be 29 witli a considerable, portion of the mine yet unexplored. Besides the twenty-two bodies taken out and identified- last night, seven were located this Afternoon iii-the north end ofthe ninth level, but the gas is still too strong to permit the searchers to reach them and their identity is unknown. - Grief Made Him Turn Forger INDIANAPOLIS, November 21.���John "Verrall, the Englishman who walked into the police station last night and, after admitting $12,000 worth of! forgeries committed in varic-us parts of the country, said he wanted to give himself up, told the policemen he had lost his wife two years ago and since that time he had "gone bad." He gave a dozen names used in various cities in embez- rlement and forgery, ni admits embezzling $300 from manager W. N. Mayers of the Western Newspaper Association of St. Louis. The forgeries for the most part have been in small amounts. fie turned oyer a. check signed by the Built England's First Locomotive ST. LOUIS, Missouri. November 21.��� Captain John Lawson, who built th^ first locomotive engine in England and who was the oldest engineer in the United States, is dead here. Captain Lawson was born in Manchester, England, August Sth, 1805. When still a boy he was apprenticed.to George Stevenson, the inventor o�� the locomotive engine and under his direction built the first engine. He served as a locomotive engineer on the various railroads in the country for many years, principally in the east and south, abandoning the line of work to. go into the steamboat business. He made a fortune in the Cumberland - river trade. Captain Lawson will be buried in Paducah, Kentucky, where he lived for 56 years. THE DOMINION OF CANADA Happenings in Brief.

November 21.���The Evening Times publishes today a story which is a confirmation of the story published in the San Francisco Call to the effect that a conspiracy had bee.n planned covering the entire Northwest Territories for the overthrow of Canadian rule and the establishment of an indepen- denfrepublic.���The-Times-in_its-article lays great stress on the story obtained from Fred Clark, formerly a stage driver in this city, but who has been in the Yukon for some time, who admits a knowledge of the order of the "Midnight Sun," which is supposed to have been organized for the sole purpose of the rebellion. It is claimed that the order was originally organized in strict secrecy in Dawson in 1000 and from there spread along the Yukon, with branches as far as Circle City on one hand and Skagway and Atlin in the other direction. It is claimed that men came to Seattle in the interests of the uprising and .solicited support in the way of financial contributions. The Times says that no arms were bought. The total membership of tho order of the Midnight Sun is pjaced at 1500, although the members confidently expected outside assistance that would bring the total of the insurgents to almost 5000. The Times said that in the early days of the organization a circular was issued and secretly distributed to disaffected miners on the upper Yukon in which 19 different causes were given as bfing the reasons for anuprising. These dealt with defective mining laws, corruption of officials, royalty, liquor traffic and gambling, delays in the court of British- Columbia, Alien Act duties, miners' and loggers' licenses, recording fees and boundary disputes. A similar circular was handed to business men of Skagway, in which they were solicited to support the enterprise, and for a time Clark made his headquarters at the latter place conducting a junta of the order. The plotters, according to the Times, anticipated no trouble, in getting together men enough to overpower the mounted police at different towns of the interior. The raid was to be started on the border and as fast as a town was overpowered a government' was to be installed. The officials were to be secreted and held as hostages. The raid was to be started immediately after the close of navigation, and the telegraph lines to Dawson were to be cut in different places. Thc leaders are said to have believed that the Canadian government would bo a month getting men and that at least it would have been compelled to make terms with thc insurgents before they laid down their arms.' The conspiracy is said to be dead owing to ihe publication of its secrete. WASHINGTON, November 21.���The secretary'of the navy received the following cablegram from captain Perry, commanding the battleship Iowa, dated Panama today: "Everything quiet. No further interference since notification with transit and telegraphic communl- cation^.Colon is in possession of the insurgents." COLON, Colombia, November 21.���The city of Colon was perfectly quiet all yesterday and last night; It is claimed on behalf of the liberals that there has been no unseemly behavior. Foreigners are being respected and protected and transit across the isthmus is uninterrupted. The postoincel, .prefecture,, all the' other government offices and nearly all the' commercial houses were closed yesterday. Colonel Barrera, the commander, of the liberal forces, lays that he has notified the. district representative of the department of tho inter- ��� ior and other former officials of the government .that .he has appointed a commission to take over their offices formally today. Senor Espriella, a promin-. ent lawyer and counsel for the Panama railway, is a member of the comis- sion.The feeling of the community-can-' not be regarded as antagonistic to liberalism. ' , The existing conditions have created no panic, but it is recognized, that. for the' liberals to hold Colon' while the ���conservatives are in possession of Panama creates a state of affairs which cannot possibly continue. Colonel Barrera admits that tho government troops here r-.umbered less than 120 men. It was at first reported that twelve or more men had" been killed and that about thirty had been wounded. Th9 bodies of more dead men have been discovered. The inspoctor_\o�� customs escaped on thn steamer. Several prison-" ers who were' captured by the liberals have since been released. General Zaldana commands 200 liberal troops at Gaturi railroad station, about six miles from Colon. The liberals say they are in possession of all the railroad stations between Colon and Las Cascada. which is' nearer to Panama than to Colon. Both sides used Remingtons and Mausers. The former caused the highest death rate. A liberal trooper, who was shot in the neck with a Mauser bullet, is "reported to be doing well. No immediate attack on Panama is contemplated. Colonel ' Barrera is waiting the arrival at Colon of the Tib- erian chief, Domineer Hazin, when definite plans will be formulated, General Searria commands the - government forces at Panama. General Patino, tho original commander of the liberal force which captured Colon, is said to have -intended-to-capture-the-Colombian_gun^ boat General Pinzon in person and some say that the general was drowned in an effort to reach her in a boat which capsized. Colonel Berrara denies this. But there is no doubt that the capture of the General Pinzon was contemplated. The United States gunboat Machias, it is understood, will not interfere with any of the fighting, but will protect the railroad and foreign interests. The government at Panama is still busy erecting breastworks in the vicinity of the railroad property, in tho direction of which tne, liberal attack is expected. The mayor of Panama started in a launch belonging to the canal company yesterday morning to report the state of affairs to general Alban. Since the mayor's return to Panama it has become rumored that he found the general at Chorrera, who decided to take his forces back to Panama by land and reinforce the garrison there. Certain sources of information have it that the canal company's largest launch was loaned to the government last Sunday to convey general Alban and troops toward Chorrera and was sunk on Tuesday near Tobago. The political prisoners at Panama have been removed from their usual prison to a safer place of confinement at the farther end of Panama. United States consul Hezekiah Ag- uder, captain Perry of the, United States battleship Iowa and the secretaries of the government held a conference at Panama yesterday, -phe last named averred, that the. conductors of the train should not have allowed "armed liberals to embark on the train at Las Casadas. Captain Perry replied that the government should protect free transit on the isthmus and ought to have prevented the embarkation ofthe liberals. Sub- seqlently a letter was sent to the Colombian authorities by the American officials with reference to future action. It is not improbable that the Iowa will shortly land a force to protect transit. Trial of Mrs. Bonine." WASHINGTON, November 21��� The trial of Mrs. Lola Nina Bonine on tho charge of killing James Seymour Ayres, jr., was fairly launched today^ The preliminary presentation of the case on behalf of the government was made by assistant district attorney Hugh T. Taggart and after he had concluded a number of witnesses were heard. Mr. Taggart's statement consumed only about an hour and fifteen minutes and consisted for the most part of a review of the circumstances connected wifch the tragedy. Mr. Taggart stated the theory of the prosecution to be that Ayres was murdered by Mrs. Bonine and that she gained admission to his room in thc hotel through the window, reaching that by means of the fire escape. He attempted to show that she was piqued by his non-attention to her. Mrs. Bonine apparently was unmoved by his representations. The witnesses of the day did not throw any new light upon the killing. Mammoth Tobacco Combine. . NEW YORK, November 21.���Amove- ment of a significant character in the tobacco interest is attracting much attention in the trado and financial districts, says the Journal of Commerce. This movement is the project of a new tobacco combination which when completed is likely to have a capital stock of $50,000,000. William H. Butler, now president of the Universal Tobacco Company and formerly vice-president of the American Tobacco Company, in all- probability will be chosen president of the organization. Besides the Universal Tobacco Company, the nucleus of the combine, the more important concerns to" be taken over are the Havana Commercial Company, Henry Clay, Bock & Co., D. H. McAlpine & Co., and Weisen- berger & Co. The consolidated company is-likely to be incorporated under the law's of New Jersey within'a few weeks. President- Butler of the Universal ��� Tobacco Company declines to make known his plans at present. It is regarded that a "tobacco war similar to that now going, on in Great Britain may yet take place in this country. aro of the opinion that it is impossible under tho terms of the protocol for foreigners to continue to govern Tie.-i Tsin. Corea has secured the premises long 'occupied by the United. States" legation and will take possession thereof at the expiration of the American lease next spring. HONG' KONG, November 21.���The rumored death of Tao Mu, viceroy of Kwang Tung and Kwang Si,, is denied. It is now said the viceroy has resigned owing to the empress of China having refused to allow him to grant a concession for Honan island (opposite Canton) to certain foreigners, presumably on an application made by the American, German, French and Japanese consuls. The empress telegraphing the viceroy her reply to his request to grant this concession, ��� said: "Defend the boundaries; those are your orders." CASE IS DECIDED CENTER STAR VS. B. C. SOUTHERN.

VIENNA, November 21.���An official Servian statement just issued declares there is absolutely no foundation for the reports that queen Draga has been shot at, or that she has committed "suicide. A special -dispatch from 'Buda Pesth today says that a newspaper there asserts that queen Draga and king Alexander of Servia recently riuarrelled and the king slapped the queen's face. The latter thereupon drank poison, but her life was saved by physicians. INTEREST AT WASHINGTON In Isthmian Affairs. WASHINGTON, D. C, November 21.��� Save for two reassuring dispatches tro.n consul-general Cudger at Panama and captain Perry of the battleship Iowa lying off that port, neither the state nor the navy departments have received any advices concerning the situation on the '-isthmus���Great-interest _is_felt_here_as_ to the outcome of the Chorrera expedition, for it is realized that the result of the engagement at that point will be decisive in giving the conservative or the liberal element control of the isthmus. Secretary Long has not sent any additional instructions to the commanders of the Iowa and the Machias, believing tha too full instructions j-ometimes hamper instead of facilitate in such a situation as now exists on the isthmus, preferring to trust to the officer's own judgment in suiting their actions to the prime purposes of keeping traffic free and American interests fully protected. In a fey days the gunboat Concord will have reached Panama to relieve the Iowa, and the Marietta on the Atlantic side will be at Colon to take the place of the Machias. However, if the present situation continues all four of these vessels will be held on the isthmus pending futher developments. Greek Student Riots ATHENS, November 21.���The agitation against the proposal to translate the gospels into modern Greek was continued today. Twenty thousand persons assembled around the ruins of the temple of Jupiter Olympus and took part in the demonstration organized .by the students. A resolution was passed, calling on the holy synod to excommunicate any person who translated the gospels into modern Greek as now spoken. Eight hundred marines were landed to patrol the locality. Several collisions occurred and occasional shots were fired. The students still hold the university buildings. Matters in the Orient, PEKIN, November 21.���The military government established over the native city of Tien Tsin continues in effect, the military commanders refusing to yield the collection of taxes to the Chinese. They also decline to submit the question of their control of the native city to the ministers of the foreign powers here, holding that continuance of military government there is vital to the maintenance of communication between Pekin and Taku. The ministers apparently regard the question as within their jurisdiction and some of them Approaching'a Climax. PARIS, November 21.���The. situation in the mining contest of France is again approaching a climax. The next day or two will see a definite decision upon the question of a general strike. The result of the recent referendum which, while it gave a majority in favo- on the actual number who voted, actually indicated that a very considerable number of the miners "were either opposed to a strike or not enthusiastic, impelled the federation officials -to put elf. a strike declaration on the plea that it was advisable to wait the.,decision, of" the "commission--'of the chamber of deputies engaged in 'studying the demands of the mineis. It now appears unlikely that the commission will satisfy these demands and the extreme partisans are endeavoring to force.the haad of the federation officials in favor of a strike. Already a partial strike has broken out in.a coal field of Nord, where a general meeting of miners voted yesterday in favor of a strike and-sent a dispatch to M. Cott, secretary of the federation, calling upon him to declare a strike, immediately. M!..Cott declines to assume the responsibility and"announces the holding of a final consultation of delegates of the various mining centers and the publication of the decision in the course of a day or so. In the meantime the committee of the important Pas de Calais district has published' a manifesto against the declaration of a strike until the commission of the chamber of deputies shall have concluded' its labors, and a similar feeling is evinced in other districts. Indications therefore go to show that the strike even if declared will be only partial and not general and that it is doomed in advance to failure. The Belgian and British miners who have been consulted have refused to consent to reduce the output, although they have promised to give financial aid. Consequently the opponents of the strike predict that the object of the -Frcnch-strikers-will-be-defeated-by-the- invasion of foreign coal, including American. The situation at present is that 4200 out of the 15,000 miners in the department of the Nord have struck and that about 10,000 have gone on strike in the adjacent pits of tho Pas de Calais district. The movement is spreading in the department of the Nord and it is asserted that all miners there will cease work tomorrow. Thus far complete order prevails, but an imposing' force of gendarmes, infantry and cavalry has been billeted in every coal field to cope with any disorder. of> mines under one management they, desire the water and place where .waten is to be used to be defined.

Queen Wilhelmina's Illness ANTWERP, November 21.���The Nieue Gazette todays prints a story to the effect that the illness of queen Wilhelmina of Holland was a sequel to a series of somewhat serious quarrels with her husband. Several reports of disagreements due to the prince consort's jealous, cold and-severe disposition have been current and have gained considerable credence. The young queen in- .heirts all the Orange obstinacy and dislike of criticism and rumors of royal unhappiness started some months ago. Although queen Wilhelmina has not left her room her condition has improved. The court physician visits her majesty only once a day She is still weak and requires a great deal of rest. The queen will probably be able to return to The Hague in about a month. Ground to a Pulp.

V, O, _Bw 1CL . ��� . ��� The Kamloops Sentinel has asked leading men throughout -the province to give their views on redistribution. Among those' who have replied are: Captain. Tatlow, M.P.P., of Vancouver, R. F. Green, M.P.P., of Kaslo; Smith Curtis, M.P.P., of Rossland, John Oliver, ri.P.P., of Delta, F. C. Cotton, ex-M.P. P., of Vancouver, J. M. Keilie, ex-M.P. P., of Revelstoke, editor Grace of the Fort Steele Prospector, and would-be- s'enator Sinclair of Rossland. Messrs. Tatlow, Green, Curtis, and Oliver practically agree in their views. All four favor passing a redistribution bill before any other legislation, and all four favor a redistribution of seats on the lines suggested by The Tribune, although, as Mr. Green puts it, the boundaries of some of the ridings are not to his liking. It is safe to assume that Messrs. Tatlow, Green, Curtis, and Oliver can be depended upon to oppose any legislation until a redistribution bill is passed. Messrs. Cotton and Keilie want all the census returns in before they give an* opinion, although Mr. Keilie, without these returns, denounces- the redistribution of seats as outlined by The Tribune as one that would " practically disfranchise the whola " northern mainland, restrict its influ- " ence in the legislature, and throw " all the patronage into the capacious " paws of a small area of country." The would-be-senator from Rossland is not expected to have any very Intelligent idea of the requirements of the people of the province in which he has been so short a time a resident, but he "con- " siders that it is most unfair that "Rossland riding with 16,000, and a "voting power ot of 3500, should have The plan' of redistribution - as outlined by The Tribune is so manifestly fair to all sections of theprovince-that the only James AE Keilie objects to it. It gave Vancouver "City 5 members, Vic-, toria City 4, Nanaimo City 1, New Westminster City"' 1, Rossland City '1, Nelson City 1, Cassiar 2j, Cariboo"'and Lillooet 3, the -west coast- of Vancouver Island 1,* Victoria'district-1, Cowichan district 1, Nanaimo district 1, Comox- district- 1, New Westminster district 4, Yale district' 5, and East. and". West Kootenay districts 6. -Such a redistribution leaves the house as at-present with 38 members. "The- changes on the Island are tbat Esquimalt 'and Victoria district, with-a population bf less than 3000, are given" one member instead of- four, as at present, aiid'Nariairho "district is given one*-instead' of two- members, as at present. The Island'would therefore have' five members from city-constituencies-and'Ave from rural'districts. The sparsely settled. northern districts would have five members, they now have six, Lillooet losing one. The city of Vancouver would gain one. The city of New Westminster and the district of New 'Westminster would have five members; .as^ at present. Yale district would'gain two, which'would go to the Boundary, which is now* tacked. onto the Rossland riding of West kootenay. The cities of Rossland and Nelson would each get a member. The Revelstoke, Golden,, and Slocan ridings, which now have three members would get four; South-east Kootenay would get two, which would be a gain of one,, and Nelson and Trail Creek mining divisions ���',-* would: - get. one. . The northern part of the Mainland, which Mr. Keilie prates.so.much about, would have three members from Cariboo and Lillooet, two from the-main line of the Canadian Facific, and, three from the more central portions of, Kootenay arid Yale. The south would have two in Southeast Kootenay, one in. Nelson, one in Rossland, one in- Nelson-Trail Creek, and twoMn-the-Boundaryror~seven"members~ in-all, to which might be added the member for the western portion of Yale. If a redistribution of seats should -be made as outlined above, no section of' the province would be unfairly treated, and no section would have such a preponderance of .votes as to give it undue political power. to to to to to to to to '.V. to to to to to to SB Baker Street, Nelson. to to ffflV' ���**��������� W MMXVVl. 9^0VMX\0S0%0m JL"* ^sM.KT\SAA.e Ellison and- P.'

The twelve- membersnamed.above can force any'government-made up "of anycombiriatidn^of the present member-' ship - to- pass" a-, redistribution measure,- and The1 Tribune" is of opinion" that" they wili'do'itr- - Representative government, if it means anything, must mean that one man is as good as another. It cannot possibly mean that one man shall have the same representation in parliament as twenty men. It cannot mean-that one section of the province with 1000 people must have double the voting strength of another section with 5000 people. It surely does not mean that a village like Esquimalt and a country district like Lillooet which have representation to which they are not entitled/that they must-always have such representation. It cannot niean that an uninhabited wilder ness',. nb riiauer what may be its probable hidden wealth, should be given a member merely because some politician wants a "safe" seat. Representative government means' that one man is as good as another, and not that one man .or one section is better than another man or another section. " Iff the members of the legislature will only drop self, a redistribution bill could be passed within a. week after the legislature meets. But how,, many of the members can do this? Captain Tatlow of Vancouver can evidently do it. John Oliver of Delta can do it. Robert F. Green of Kaslo can be depended on to do it. John Houston' of Nelson will not vote for any government that does not bring down and pass a fair redistribution bill before doing anything else in the way of legislation. Messrs Clifford and Stables of Cassiar should be of the same way of thinking, as should be B. C- Smith of JSasH Kootenay. Price Tlie letter bf mayor' Andrews of Winnipeg to '-Mr. '.Borden, ��� m' .

MARRIED HIM THREE TIMES Novel Matrimonial Experience. On an Atlantic liner bound for Liverpool, a handsome woman, still young, is taking her fourth wedding trip and, spending the first quarter of her fourth honeymoon with her flrst husband, whom she married for the third time. If this woman, for the fourth time a bride, though having had but one husband ence, and one liusLand threo times, wero to be given her names in their actual chronological order, she would be called Mrs. Grace Snell-Coffin-Coffin- Walker-Coffin. She chooses to ignore one of her husbands and objects to the repetition of the other's name,' so that she is simply written down on the steamship's passenger list as Mrs. FrmiK Nixon Coffin, just as she was seventeen years ago when she began marrying Mr. Coffin. The name Snell she avoids when she can, because it has painful associations and is apt to provoke questions. She is the daughter of Amos J. Snell, the Chicago multi-millionare, who was murdered in his home thirteen years ago, and whose murderer has never been found.. Why has Mrs. Coffin .married four times, andthree times married the same man? Sho answers in one word "Destiny." "Circumstance, chance, fate, whatever you choose to call that which is quite outside ourselves, and yet controls us," she adds. It was seventeen years ago that Miss Grace Snell, when sixteen years old, first married Frank Nixon Coffin. Ho was a man of many occupations Once he taught a dancing class. It is said that he was once Mr. Snell's coachman and that it was while he was such that Miss Snell eloped with him. He denied this, but there are old friends of the Snells who hold persistently to it. At any rate, Frank Nixon Coffin was penniless and it was equally certain that this fact made no difference to sixteen-year-old Miss Snell, because she ran away with him and married him. . They lived together for two years. Then the wife applied for a divorce. She accused him of incompatibility of temper. The courts freed her. Thoy went their different ways, she v live in the old Snell horastoad, where her father had been murdered, ho to follow his different vocations, and to forget the luxury in wliich ho had lived as the son-in-law of a multi-millionare. They had one child���a boy. While he was in Boston at school the lad fell ill, and his mother hurried.to his bedside. In his delirium ho called constantly for "Fapa! Papa." The physicians in attendance begged that he be humored, for the end was near and the little follow could only die in peace if his father was with him. The mother telegraphed at once to Franit Coffin and he took tne first train for Boston. He arrived in time Lo take the little fellow into his arms and hold him there until he died. The parents wept together over the body^ of-the young boy, who had died, and they married again. Their newly wedded life happened to have its home in one of Chicago's hotels, the Virginia. It was not long before it began to be whispered about the hotel that the second union was moro bitterly unhappy than the flrst. Ther ? were bickerings, reproaches, sadness and anger and tears. And so there came a time when they refused to dine at the same table. Then, after a fiercer outburst of temper than usual, Mr. Coffin left thc hotel and ordered his trunks sent aftor him. Mrs. Coffin sent for the chief clerk, and told him that on. no account should Mr. Coffin's cards be sent up to her. The name of the chief clerk was James C. Walker. He promised faithfuliy and sympathized respectfully. Mrs. Coffin in tears thanked him. "I never want to see Mr. Coffin again. Never." "You shall not, if I can help it." said the clerk. Mrs. Coffin found his sympathy soothing.. She discovered that he had a fine, though untrained, singing voice, and she insisted upon his going abroad to cultivate'it. She -loaned him a generous sum for that purpose. While he was gone Mrs. Coffin again applied for a divorce from the obliging Chicago courts. Again she alleged incompatibility, and this time she complained bitterly of Mr. Coffin's ungovernable temper. She secured hei- second decree. The chief clerk was abroad l'or a year. When he came back he married Mrs. Coffin, and on their wedding day she gave him ?S0,000. He went back with her to Europe on ��� their wedding journey. After her third "trial trip" Mrs. Coffin-Walker settled down in Waukesha Springs, Wis., where tho bridegroom' became manager of tho Fountain House. When the early days of the honeymoon were over Mrs. Walker began to see that her new husband not only had the familiar "ungovernable temper," but jealousy as well. He was not jealous of any of her flesh, and blood admirers. But he was jealous of the creations of her brains. His wife wrote novels. /jid the bridegroom was -especially, SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. Present rate three per cent. GRANGE V. HOLT, Manager Nelson Branoh. jealous of Alexander Patton, the hero ���of a story which she called "The Return of an Expatriate." This is a leaf from the romance: "'Alexander Patton!" The name awoke memories. The man had loved her oncfc, honestly, almost insanely. She could close her eyes and see his white face as he pleaded; she could hear, too, the laugh with which she answered him. Yet she liked him well���better, in fact, than any man she had met before or since���infinitely better th^m the flashy scoundrel she had used as a weapon with which to strike her father -dead; more consumingly than the wreck for whom she was immolating herself. Why had she refused him? Pride, of couiso; an idiotic, stiff-necked j.ride. There had been in her, too, the desire to run counter to her father's wishes, for she knew that the speculator liked the resourceful, strong employee whoin he had introduced to his home. Five years had passed since he went from her���five years, long, leaden and full of misery. And now he was at the top of, fortune's wheel, rich, powerful, courted, and she at the bottom, poor, unrecognized, almost in hiding. ' "Try as sho would, however, she cculd not - fancy him in high estate. To her mind's eye he was still young, obscure and pleading thickly and passionately." Mr. Walker hated Alexander Patton, One day,,he threw the novel and two, basketfuls of manuscript into the fire. She begged him to leave but one, her favorite, "Tho Pre-Sanctified," but that followed the others into the grate. Then Mrs. Walker left her husband. Cn explanation she said, again to her friend, tho divorce* court: "When Mr.' Walker learned that a firm of Chicago publishers had accepted a story I sent tlieni without his knowledge there was war at Waukesha's Fountain House. He threw all of my manuscripts into the flames, every one of them. Having no more of my innocent manuscripts within reach of destruction, he beat me with his fists,.kicked me about the room and all but killed me. "His desire to kill the creation of my brain I could undersand on his prudis-i plea that they would bring criticism on their author and certain elements of society, although I don't believe that any fear of scandal or disgrace was his real motive. "What caused his rage was jealousy. But it was not ordinary jealousy. He was jealous because of the creatures figuring in my story���jealous of them because I had lavished on them all the affections and tenderness bestowed on a child by the mother who gives it birth." The court granted a, verdict on the ground of extreme cruelty. Mrs. Walker had been heard to say, "I shall not be single twenty-four hours after I am free." She proved to be a clever prophet. On October 23rd she married her flrst husband the third time "quietly." The re-marriage was made at St. Chrys- ostom's church, in Chicago, by the Rev. Thaddeus A. Snively. The divorce had been granted by judge James Dick six weeks before. At noon A. J. Stone, her brother-in-law, appeared in court as attorney in fact to.secure the permission for Miss Snell, lately Mrs. Walker, formerly Mrs. Coffin, to become Mrs. Coffin again. This is a form necessary in Wisconsin, where there is a law against divorced couples marrying again within the year without the consent of the court of records. The court willingly granted this consent. At 2 o'clock, in response to a telegram, Mr. Coffin went to Miss Snell's country home, near Waukesha. They came together to Chicago and late in the afternoon secured a license. Accompanied by a few old-time friends thoy drove to St. Chrysostom's church and were made "one" again and again. They were married in an Episcopal church by an Episcopal clergyman, who would not discuss the bearing of the case upon the Episcopal divorce canon. Another clergyman, more talkative, said: "The Episcopal church does not oppose the reuniting of the same persons who have been divorced, In fact, the church is glad to reunite the couples under such circumstances." "We are glad, too," said Mrs Coffin in congratulating her friends. "Frank and I feel that those dreadful divorces were really only little quarrels, after all. It seems to us that we have always been married from the first." Mrs. Coffin imputes her first marriage to love, her second to mutual sympathy, her third she calls contemptuously "a regrettable mistake," her fourth to the "habit of marriage to the same man." Her friends arc less general as to reasons. "Mr. Coffin, whatever his faults, never burned my books," they quote her as saying. ' tie always encouraged my writing and seemed proud of it. I can go on with my literary career now." Mrs. Coffin has thrown away the two decrees in the name of Coffin and bearing the seal of the divorce court, and has saddled the third to the certificates bearing the name of Coffin and signed by a clergyman, and she says she is confident of happiness with this her first, second, and fourth husband. Mrs. Coffin, the daughter of a multimillionaire, has inherited a great deal of her father's wealth.

She is still a handsome woman, radiant and blithe hearted, in spite of her many trials on the troubled sea of matrimony. ; The murder of her father, Amos J. iSnell, is one of the mysteries of criminal annals. He was one of the richest men in Chicago. Though unpopular because of uncertain infirmities of temper, he was credited with being an honest man and,, in a hard way, a good one. His fortune was founded by the building of an old plank road out of Milwaukee avenue, through the town of Jefferson. It was the only road leading from the northwest into Chicago, and Mr. Snell reaped a harvest through his toll gates. Time and time again they were burned by the farmers who objected" to the ��� stiff ,tolls, but all to no avail. They were invariably rebuilt the rext day. The money earned in this way he reinvested in real estate, which, with .the rapid -growth of r Chicago, increased in value in the same ratio. He built a fine stone house at Washington boulevard and Ada street. Here it was .that the mysterious murder occurred on the night of February Sth, 1888. It is supposed-that about 2:30 in the morning ho heard burglars tampering with his safe in the library. He went down stairs tb investigate and was shot at the lower landing. The servants said they heard the report, but "were too frightened to give an alarm until daybreak. Some burglar tools were found upon the floor. There were small footprints, as though made by .a woman or a boy in the snow. Those were the,only clews, but they led the'police to Willie Tas- cott, an elevator boy in the Palmer House. When they went to his room they found that he had escaped them by an hour. '' Then began a man-hunt that has lasted thirteen years and is still unsuccessful. Two thousand men have been arrested on suspicion. Multitudinous, absurd clews have been followed in the hope of winning,the $50,000 reward, offered by the family. But the Snell murder remains a mystery. But probably the strangest of all is this third marriage to the one husband. m Dis Debar Had Many Titles.

The meeting of the Nelson board of trade which was called for last even- nig did not materialize, as there was no quorum. The special committee appointed to interview the retail grocers with a view to inducing them to withdraw a portion of a circular which their association had issued was to have reported. It is likely now that the i-etail and wholesale grocers will have their differences threshed out before another meeting of the board is held. on the clearing of the right of way has already commenced and the grading outfit will be shipped from this city on Monday. Henry Boie, the well known railway contractor, who for several years was connected with the firm of O'Leary Brothers, will have charge of the work for Mr. Tierney. In addition to the grading of the right of way Mr. Tierney's contract calls for the grading of the smelter site. The preliminary work to smelter construction is being pushed for all it is worth, there being upwards of 100 men already employed on it. Of these there are a number engaged in making the brick for the smelter, and another gang is employed in getting out tlie lumber necessary, the company having a small sawmill in operation. It is not likely that a line of railway will be built from the co-n- pany's mines to the smelter, a distance of five miles, but this is conditional whether the company finds it to its advantage to build a railway or a tramway. .'..*'���.*' Dan Bloom, the man who made his escape from the city lockup on Wednesday evening is how looked upon by the police as being much smarter than they gave him credit for. They are now convinced that upon his last visit to the second hand jktbres Bloom not; only disposed of four suits of clothes which were stolen from the Canadian Pacific railway baggage car, but succeeded in lifting a coat from the second hand store as well. Silver King Mike did not miss the overcoat- from his store until yesterday morning, and by this time Bloom had made good his escape, but his description of the lost garment tallied closely with the coat which Bloom was wearing at the time of his arrest. There was a rumor on the street yesterday morning that the local'tramway company had decided to suspend operations at the' end., of the present month, but the rumor so far lacks confirmation. Some months ago the local directors of the tramway company sought a conference with the city authorities with a view to seeing what could be done to help them out of the hole in which they found themselves in view of tho long? price which the company was obliged to pay the "West Kootenay Power & Light Company for p'ow��r, but so far as could be learned at the time nothing came of it. Under its bylaw the tramway company would forfeit its charter in the event of the suspension . of. operations for two months in any one year.. i. * H. G.

THE BINDERY DEPARTMENT OB" THE TRIBUNE ASSOCIATION, LIMITED, 90pX&&M0B,2mUB0K, BOOK BINDING SPECIAL RjHED BUM *O0J(S $mWL IRIUD FOfiMS Victoria Boilermakers Strike. VICTORIA, November 21���Boilermakers employed by the Albion Iron Works Company went on strike today, refusing to ,work more than eight hours a day on the steamer City of Topeka, which the company is repairing. They claim that the steamer, being an American vessel, they have to abide by the rule of the American association for eight hours on outside work. Men were secured to take, their places and the company say they will have the steamer ready in the time prescribed by the contract. ; On the Coast. George H. Cowan of Vancouver, who has been in the city for the past couple of days, was approached last evening by a Tribune representative for his view upon the present political situation at ��� Victoria.*. Mr, Cowan is something of a politician himself,and is supposed to be fairly well iu touch with the moves of the other men in the game and for this reason his views may be of some interest. In the outset he was careful to say he did not speak for anyone but himself. He then expressed the opinion that E. V. Bodwell was the logical candidate of the forces that were opposed to the Dunsmuir administration. Being a Conservative he said it was but natural that he would like-to see a Conservative administration, but there was no prospect of this. One difficulty was that there was nc provincial Conservative who could claim sufficient precedence over the others to set,himself up as the leader of an administration. There were Conservatives who might be considered as leaders of factions, but none of them had sufficient strength to lead the whole party. Like a number of other prominent Conservatives, both inside and outside the house, he said he was inclined to support the Bodwell boom. The political situation he sized up m this,way: Bodwell will run in Victoria and be - elected. The government was anxious to delay the bye-election there as long as possible, but he was confident it would be forced-to issue-the writ and have the election before the legislature meets. Once in the house he figured that it would be easy work for Bodwell to bring about the--defeat of the government. In fact he felt confident that a man like Bodwell would develop such strength in the present legislature that he would be able to carry on the government without 'a general election. The new movement to his mind meant a strai^ut fight against Martinism and Dunsmuirism and its following would in a very great measure be made up of the members of the house who bolted the government upoa the railway issue. Mr. Cowen said he was aware that the two political parti js were in a measure committed to party lines, but he thought this little dim-, culty could be got around. Personally he was not in favor of party lines in provincial politics, and he was of the opinion that a stable government could be formed from tho present members in the legislature without respect to their federal politics. It will take a few months to decide just how near right Mr. Cowan is in conception of the present situation and his forecast* for the future, but in the "meantime his views are' interesting as those of a politician who loses no opportunity to keep himself posted. King Edward's Health and Edict. NEW YORK, November 21���Regarding the health of ithe king, the London correspondent ofi the Tribune cables that from the highest sources of information come the most reassuring accounts of the king's health. Those recently with him assert that he has no throat ailment whatever and that his general health and spirits are how better than for a long time. London tradesmen might have saved charges for insurance on their stocks in coronation year if these facts had been generally known. King Edward has checkmated the thrifty nobles and others who proposed to line their pockets with American and continental gold by the sale of their seats in Westminster Abbey for the coronation ceremonies, by decreeing that excepting in an official capacity only British subjects are to be present. He has decided'that the mere fact of any seat being sold dispossesses both the holder and the nominee- from the right of occupying it. It is understood that large sums have been offered, both in America and Europe, for seats on the occasion of the coronation. stated at the state department that up to this time no application has been made by the United States government to the porte for permission to send war ships to the Dardanelles to demonstrate off the Bulgarian coast, as reported in a Vienna dispatch this morning. It is further supposed that the status of Miss Stone's case remains unchanged so far as the department is advised. Meeting of Archbishops WASHINGTON, November 21.���The archbishops of the Catholic church in this country began their annual meeting here today in MacMahon haU at the Catholic university. The proceedings were secret. The meeting, which is the highest council in the church in the United States, considered matters affecting the work of the church in the new insular processions of the United States and the matter of federation of the Catholic societies which it has been, proposed to effect. Archbishop Keane of Dubuque, Iowa, and others stated that there was nothing to be made public at this time. There was another meeting of the archbisliops this afternoon, when the status' of thc Knights of Columbus< "was brought up for consideration. Killed by a Train.
