m. 7. xyyiwu ������xx-ysiim^i ESTABLISHED 1892 MOOT) AT MOBBING, NOVEMBER 25, 1901 DAILY EDITION THE GERMAN ATTACK ON CHAMBERLAIN MAY MAKE HIM PREMIER OF ENGLAND-NEWS REVIEW OP THE WEEK. ' NEW YORK, November 24.���I. N. Ford, special correspondent of the New York Tribune, in his cable, says: There is a preceptible hardening of public feeling here against Germany. The remark is heard on every side that tha German agitators may succeed in making Mr. Chamberlain prime minister if they persevere in distorting the obvious meaning of a harmless phrase and in holding him up to ridicule in indecent cartoons. Those behind the scenes smile grimly over the fatuity .with which German agitators have run a tilt against the English statesman, responsible in a large measure for the recent entente cordiale between the two countries. Singularly enough, Mr. Chamberlain was a strenuous advocate of the dual agreement in China and of closer relations with Germany, aud is now singled out for an aheged deliberate affront to the fatherland. A singular feature of the German outbreak against England is the neglect of tbe govern- ��� ment at Berlin to bring pressure to bear, upon the press and public meetings. This points io .cooler relations between tlie British and German governments, caused by tho recent Mitylene incident or some othor passage of secret diplomatic history. There are two natural effects of the German agitation, which happily appears to be subsiding. One is a sympathetic-movement in England toward Prance and Russia and away from Germany, the other is the promotion of cordial relations between .England and the United States. There is, indeed, danger that the sentimentalists may go too far. The Spectator, for example, while the pioneer of enlightened judgment respecting the revision of the . Clayton-Bulwer treaty, overshoots tho mark in suggesting British and European sanction for the Monroe doctrine. That doctrine, like the canal itself, will be stronger and safer under exclusive American ownership and control. SOUTH AFRICAN MATTERS. The Johannesburg conspiracy is the most important disclosure of tho South African dispatches. It involves another series of military trials and executions, and does not encctigrage hope of a . speedy settlement- of the race feud. The censorship allows the passage of little news from the land. Private letters from men in thc employment of the mining companies report a stagnant condition of that industry and a general feeling that the war may last another yeai-. ENGLISH POLITICS. There are no leads of open water beyond the ice pack in which both political ships are drifting. Al! the oflicers been forecasting the conversion of the trunk lines of railways into electrically worked lines with the trains of lesser magnitude, dispatched more frequently and at higher rates of speed, resulting in substantial gains in economy and the purity of smokeless atmosphere. He laid stress upon tlio necessity of ;work- ing passenger and freight trains by the same system of electric traction and predicted the gradual abandonment of steam propulsion for the railways of tho United Kingdom, in which ��1,300,000,- 000 have been investi:d. Sir William Preece's earnest plea for a rational telephone system, has also attracted widespread interest, owing to the defects in the existing service. MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. Details of the remarkable frauds of the clerk Goudie of the Liverpool bank ore coming out slowly. The system by which he manipulated ledgers and concealed an embezzlement of ��170,000 cannot be explained by the officials until every accomplice is under arrest. Bank book-keeping in England is a maze of red tape, with daily cheeks and balances which do not always operate as safeguards. Santos-Dumont is ovenun with callers at the Carlton hotel, and will be entertained by the Aero Club on Monday night. There will be a brilliant, banquet to sii Thomas Lipton, the same right at the Hotel Cecil, lord Tweed- mouth presiding. The stewards ofthe Henley regatta received strong protests from the colonies against the exclusion of Canadians and Australians from the contests on the Thames and the London club voted against the prohibitive policy of barring out foreign crews. .The controversy raised by Mr. Grenfell's proposal has been a spirited one, with vigorous warnings against anything which might be considered unsportsmanlike. The decisive vote by which the stewards rejected it yesterday and decided against alteration of tbo lules was ir. line with the traditior-al Enlish love of sport. at 10 o'clock in the morning all the men who went on striko last Tuseday went to work again. Cars were shunted from track "to track and the purling of locomotives gave everything a different appearance from what has been for the last few days. The first train to leave the yards tinder the direction of the, old men left at 1 o'clock and the men lined up along the track cheering. The headquarters of the strikers were deserted all day, giving evidence that the strike is over. . Riots Cause Cabinet's Resignation ATHENS, November 24.���As a result of the demonstrations against the proposed translation of the gospel into modern Greek, the Grecian cabinet has resigned. This action was taken in spite of king George's efforts to induce the cabinet and M. Theotokis, the premier, to remain in office. M. Thetokis considers the responsibility of an official inquiry into" the riots should be left to another cabinet, in order that the truth may be established "beyond suspicion. The party of M. Theotokis will support the new cabinet. ALL FOUND DEAD BODIES OF THE EXPLORING PARTY BECOVERED. THEY HAD SUCCUMBED TO THE DBADLT WHITE DAMP OF THE MINE. NOVEL CASE TO BE TESTED ~of~tlie��� LiberalsbTaftTre-agfeed���in-ide^ nouncing tha incompetence of the ministry in the various stages of the war, and the futility of concentration camps, the devastation of the country and the - proclamations for bringing hostilities to an end. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, sir William Harcourt and Mr. Morley go further and advocate specifi***: terms of peace and the dismissal of Mr. Chamberlain, but Mr. Asquith, sir Henry Fowler and sir Edward Grey do not acquiesce. The .National Liberal Federation may pass a resolution1 in favor of the removal of Mr. Chamberlain as a step towards peace, but the country is not prepared to desert the colonial minister, cspe^aiiy when under foreign fire. Otherwise, thc Liberals are without a definite policy and at thu mercy of the drifting pack. The ministers themselves are making little progress under the grinding pressure of the endless war so far. They are united in rejecting tho precedent offered by lord Canning's proclamation of amnesty during the Indian mutiny, but are without resource for accelerating the slow processes of the war or reducing the cost of the campaign, which is. staggering British tax payers, if not humanity. The only practical method of getting Mr. Chamberlain out of the colonial offic3 is the one employed when lord Lansdowne was conducted with pomp from the rear office to the foreign office. No associate aspires to succeed him in the colonial office and there is no vacancy yet in sight-in the treasury. If sir Michael Hicks-Beach succeeds in producing financial proposals which his colleagues can accept there will be no cabinet changes and tne .viow drift will continue with weekly soundings reported by lord Kitchener. ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION. Londoners are hoping that metropolitan legislation will not be, neglected. The prospect of the passage of the water purchase bill is not bright, but a long series of electric transit measures awaits the sanction of the parliament. The two penny tube can bo expanded into a new inner circle if the Central London acquires additional powers, and Mr. Yeikes has a doaen fresh irons in the fire if parliament will work the bellows for him. Scores of electri_ schemes will be presented to parliament. The London county council has two enormous projects.

This is the .first case in which the cc-nsrtUutional- iiy of the treasury ruling that consumptives shall be prevented frcm landing as immigrants -will ��� be passed upon by the courts. Thomas Boden arrived here from Ireland November Oth on the Lu- cania. His wife and child ,were with him. He has relatives who live in Philadelphia. They are able to guarantee that he would not become a public charge and he had monsy of his cwn. The authorities at Ellis island were satisflod on that score, but .they declined to ad- lnit him because examinations by physicians of the marine- hospital corps showed he had tuberculosis of tho lungs. He appialed to the treasury department and a re-examination was ordered. The Treasury department ordered that Mr. Boden be sent back on the next Cunard line steamer, the fJtruria, which salied Saturday. Francis Tracey Tobin, a lawyer of Philadelphia, hns obtained a writ of habeas corpus. The act of congress under wliich it is proposed to ,-xclude Mr. Boden is framed to prevent the admission of "''persons^stiffefinj^frorr. a~lrathsome or dangerous, disease." Mr. Boden claims that the majority of physicians do not regard consumption as contagious. HEAVY WHEAT SHIPMENTS Largest on Record. FORT WILLIAM, November 24.��� Since Sunday iaorningj one week ago there has been shipped from this port over 2,500,000 bushels of wheat. This includes the vessels that are now in the harbor that will load today and tonight. There is now lying in the "harbor carrying capacity for 7.10,000 bushels. It includes the two steamers Princeton and Black of 210,000 and 230,000 respectively. The Glengarry and Minnedosa with 80,- 000, the ��� Rosedale 80,000, the Ottawa 110,000. From September to November 21st, there has been shipped from here 8,712,357 bushels of wheat. Add to this the amount that will go out tomorrow and there will have been shipped more wheat than was' shipped during the whole season of ravigation of .188!), which was the largest year yet recorded up to now. Grain men expect that there will be a total, shipment yet during "the navigation of at least three millions, which make a total of over twelve- millions shipped out since- September 1st. Championship Football Gamr. ?i!S3 MONTREAL, November 24.���The Ot- . tawa College team ahd Argonauts of Toronto played for the Canadian football championship Saturday,, afternoon on the ;Montreal grounds-In the'pres- tlme limit the "teams were tied, each great one and at the expiration of the ence of 2500 people. The game was a having a score of 12 Although the Argonauts had the ball on thc college line when time was called they refused to continue and also declined to play off on Thanksgiving day. President Clax- ton has since ordered them to do so and if they refuse the championship will go to Ottawa by default. It was expected that Saturday's game would prove quit9 an easy thing for the Toronto men, but Ottawa showed up surprisingly strong and had they adopted the- tactics they used at the end earlier in the gama they would probably have won out. TEST OF SUBMARINE BOAT Fifteen Hours Under Water. Furious Gale at the East NEW YORK, November 24.���The storm of last night and today did considerable damage. Windows in the upper part of the city wero blown in and a few roofs taken oft. The greatest damage was along West street, fronting the North river, where numberless cellars wero flrodorl. The rapid transit tunnel was florded in many places. The Western Telegraph Company reports having suffered most in the Poconomo mountain district, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. Sleet had broken down polos and wires for nearly a mile. Some of the Long Island wires were broken. The Postal Company reports its heavy damage across the river between Suffern and Guttenburg. Both companies expect to have all repairs made by morning. The wind here blew from 36 to 40 miles an hour this afternoon. The gale sent shipping scurrying to shelter and safety. In spite of.dropping of anchors and putting out of additional hausers, many small boats and other craft were damaged or driven ashore.- The^wind blew over the rivers and bay during the morning with grea.t fury, and to add to the trouble there was an unusually ,high tide, which caused tho flooding of numberless cellars along the water front and great damage to merchandise. A Sea Captain Suicides. ��� MOBILE, Alabama, November 24.��� The British b-_rk Birnamwood from Rio Janeiro, in charge of mate Poe, arrive 1 today and reported that on November lSth t.he captain, named Morris, killed tho vessel's steward. The .body was buried" at sea. The captain kept his cabin, pacing up and down. When informed that Sand island light was sighted, November 22nd, he gave the mate the course, picked up a sea lead and jumped overboard and was drowacul. Strikers Return to Work- NEW YORK, November 24.���There was a rush of business at the Harlem river yards of the New York, New Haven & Harifcrd railroad today, jCor , NEW YORK, November 24.���In the presence of a big crowd which assembled to witness the emerging of the submarine boat Fulton that craft rose from the bottom of the bay this morning at 10:30 o'clock with all well and greatly surprised to find thero was a storm raging. The test of the Fulton's staying powers was highly satisfactory, not only to the officers of the company that built her and the naval officers present, but to those who went to the bottom in the boat. They report there was not the slightest discomfort to them during their more than 15 hours of submersion beneath the surface. Captain Cable of thc Holland Company, who was in command, said tho boat could have remained down for three months if there was food enough on board Although there was but six feet of water over the top of the turret, those on board folt nothing of the storm. Through t.he night there was a slight rolling motion to the craft, but this was ascribed to the regular motion of the water and not to tho disturbance which was rolling the waves high on the shore. Rear admiral Lowe and lieutenant Arthur McArthur refused to go into any discussion of the performance of the boat except, to say that they would be satisfied to stay down-longer. Members of the crew say they experienced no difficulty in breathing and that the air was all that could be desired and much superior and better than an ordinary closed room in which are several persons. Every part of the machinery worked to perfection during the night. The men ato two meals while under water and enjoyed them. Most of them obtained three or four hours' sleep. BLUEFIELDS, West Virginia, November 24.���The dead bodies of the lost party of eight men who entered the west mine of the Pocahontas Collieries Company on Friday morning last at 11 o'clock were recovered at 12:45 o'clock today. At 7 o'clock this morning a rescuing party numbering 40 persons, entered at the main entrance, bratticing the mine as they went in-order to improve the circulation of the air. They had reached a .distance of 3000 feet from the entrance when they encountered such, quantities of white damp that it was impossible to proceed further. Retracing their steps they decided to make another attempt from the Tug river entrance, some six miles across the Flat Top mountain. They went in this entrance about 10:30 a. m. and after going about GOO feet tound the dead bodies of A. S. Hurst, chief inspector; Bob Odham, sub-inspector; and Frazier G. Bell, mining-engineer,'all huddled together." From their positions they must have met death suddenly and without pain. All- of them were lying face down, with no sign of a struggle. Hurst had made a pillow of his coat; in which his head rested. The bodies of the other-members of the party, superintendent of mines Walter O'Malley, Joseph Cardell," superintendent of the Shamokin Coal and Coke Company, and R. E. St. Clair, second assistant inspector, were found several hundred feet back in the mine, three of the bodies lying some little distance apart. The bodies of Joseph Cardwell and St. Clair were lying "with arms clasped around each other cold in death. The bodies of O'Malley, St. Glair and Price were discolored and bruised' about the facel showing signs of a struggle, it being very plain to see they made a desperate attempt at retracing their steps to better air, but already "had advanced too far into the deadly white damp to escaiie alive. Insurgent Fort Captured. MANILA, November 24.���Captain Edward P. Lawton's company of the Nineteenth infantry has attacked and captured an insurgent fort on Bohol island (south of Cebu, in the Viscayas group). This fort was surrounded " on all sides by a precipice and the only entrance to the grounds was guarded by a stockade, with a line of entrenchments behind it Captain Lawton sent sergeant McMahon and 20 men to climb the precipice and attack them from the rear. Sergeant McMahon's party ac- --complished=their=task=after=three=h"ours'" arduous climbing through the thick undergrowth of brush and vines which covered the almost perpendicular cliff. They took the enemy by surprise and drove them from the fort. As the insurgents escaped they had to pass the balance of captain Lawlor's company at a distance of 150 yards. Here the enemy suffered terrible losses.. The insurgents defended themselves with both cannon and rifles. The cannon were captured. The smaller ones were removed, while tho larger ones wore buried. closely. It is set fourth in an Illuminated, missal of ,the fourteenth century preserved in the library of the abbey. ,The question of incense has not yet been settled, but an evangelical paper is certainly wrong in the statement that anointing oil will be dispensed with, and the holy communion omitted. Precedents for both go back to the Saxon kings. Baltimore Press Feeders Strike. BALTIMORE, November 24.���Two hundred press feeders and helpers employed in about fifty of the job printing offices of this city quit work today. Their number will probably be increased by the pressmen, who will quit work in sympathy with the others. Shops in which union labor is employed are the only ones interested in the strike. Dickinson at Constantinople. CONSTANTINOPLE, November 24.��� Mr. Dickinson, the special diplomatic agent of the United States, who has been conducting the negotiations for the release of Miss Ellen Stone, arrived here today from Sofia. COLON WILL BE BOMBARDED Usual Notice Given. - COLON, November 24.���As the result of an exchange of notes between the' United States gunboat Machias and the General Pinzon Ignacio Feliaco;'"com-; manding the Pinzon, which has 600 on boaj;d has officially notified the American, British and French- warships now in the harbor that he intends "to bombard Colon at noon tomorrow (Monday), thus giving 24 hours' notice. The various consuls are notifying their respective fellow citizens that refuge may be had on board the warships. To bombard thc town of Colon it will be necessary to fire across the railroad track- and railroad employees will probably refuse to work. Lieutenant commander McCrea of the Machias is senior naval officer and he"' awaits instructions' from Washington regarding the threat to bombard. There is much excitement in. Colon. The afternoon passenger train which should have arrived' here at 6 o'clock had not arrived at 8. Heir to $33,000,000. NEW YORK, November 24.~John Dobson, an employee of the Standard Block Sigual System Company, of New York,-living on the Hackensack Plank- road, New Durham, New Jersey, has re-" ceived word from a firm of English lawyers that the courts, after many years' litigation, have decided he is the sole heir to an estate said to be worth $33,- 000,000. When Dobson's paternal grandmother died twenty years ego she left all her property, an estate in the suburbs of London, to him. Other heirs contested the will and the estate has been tied up in the courts ever since. At the time of Mrs. Dobson's death the property was not worth as much as it is today. The growth of London during the past twenty years has made the estate one of the most valuable in the vicinity of the English metropolis.

This inspection, which was superintended by the duke, was to enable the cos- turners to get the exact tint of the crimson velvet and tho position of the ermine and miniver and other details for the all-important making of the robes, on which work will now be started in earnest. The British museum has been besieged by those who are searching for news of the dresses and regulations of previous coronations. Queen Alexandra has ordered from Delhi a quantity of tho finest embroidery, for which the former capital of India is so famous, which will adorn her majesty's robes at the coronation ceremonies. This action, which has produced the greatest satisfaction, is duo to the.good offices of the vicerine, who when recently in England, showed the queen some priceless Delhi embroideries and so stimulated royal Interest as to cause the present order to be given. . .,:_ Eva Ray Hamilton Again. WILKESBARRE, Pennsylvania, November 24.���One hundred dollars, the forfeited cash bail of Eva Hamilton, widow of Robert Ray Hamilton, has been turned over by the court to a committee of. lawyers for dispolsal. The woman came into prominence twelve years ago, when she attempted to force upon her husband a child that was not their1 own. Hamilton," who came from the old revolutionary family,- felt the exposure of his wife's trick keenly and disappeared. Later he was found dead in the west while hunting. Shortly after the exposure in regard to the child Eva Hamilton attacked her nurse, and later attacked her father, William Steel of Monroe'Township. She was arrested and gave cash bail to appear for trial, but has nipver appeared. Today the bail was declared forfeited. It probably will be used'to purchase law books for the Bar.- Association.

CINCINNATI, November 24.���Leonard S. Smith, president of a manufacturing company, recently received a letter at his home in Avondale, a suburb, threatening the abduction of his six year old child unless he would place $5000 in an envelope and leave it at a point designated at a certain time. Mr. Smith left the envelope as directed, but it was filled with blank paper. Two men appeared, but did not take the envelope. They were not arrested. The child is being guarded. More Serious Than Reported. LONDON, November 24.���This morning's dispatches from South Africa show that the recent fighting near Villicrs- dorp, southwest of Standerton, as to which lord Kitchener reported nothing beyond the attack on 100 railroad pioneers, was really a serious affair. It seems that Grobelaar's commando succeeded in surrounding and capturing a British force of 100 British pioneers. Subsequently colonel Remington came up with reinforcements and after heavy fighting compelled the Boers to retire and to release their prisoners. The British losses included major Fisher killed and three officers wounded. The casualties among the men have not yet been reported. No Traffic in Coronation Seats. LONDON, November 24.���American millionaires may buy'up steamship lines, provide London with an electric transit system, organize the iron and steel industry into gigantic combinations and capture. an occasional Gainsboro, but society draws' the line at traffic in coronation seats. Not even the era of good feeling has prevented acrid strictures on the reports that American women are having coronation robes made, their husbands having bought seats from British peers. The social flat has already gone out that no American woman "shall enter the abbey unless they have previously married peers. The suggestion has been made that the attendance at the abbey shall not exceed ten thousand, but nobody has seen the plans by which so large a numfoar cai. be accommodated. Many erroneous acccuiits have been published of alteration in the consecration service. The i order followed in 1838 will be followed LONON, November 24.���Once more has Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary approved his right and title to be the most thoroughly hated British statesman. The storm now raging in Germany over his animadversions on the Prussian army has had a powerful reflex in Great Britain, where regardless of party ties, Mr. Chamberlain has been severely criticized for uselessly "putting his foot into it." On all sides may be heard iterated expi essions of opinion by British business men and politicians; who, while they perhaps believe Mr. Chamberlain was correct ir. what he said, denounce the uttering of such sentiments. It is recalled that Mr. Chamberlain's utterances regarding the czar and tho Anglo-American-German alliance has been the causes of tho only serious outbreaks of anti-British feeling on the continent in recent times. It is no exaggeration to say that the financial world of England would be delighted to have Mr. Chamberlain muzzled when intending to speak on England's foreign relations. As might be expected, Mr. Chamberlain simply takes the whole affair with his usual cynical indifference. He is staying quietly at Birmingham and is not exhibiting any particular interest in this storm he has raised. xyy\$$gm At the colonial office a reporter ofthe Associated Press was informed that Mr. Chamberlain did not care to enter into any controversy and would stand by what he said. If the German papers continue to misrepresent him it cannot be helped, according to Mr. Chamberlain's point of view. At tho other government departments also the belief is the whole agitation will die a natural death and that everything will come out all right. There is no doubt, however, that by the latest break Mr. Chamberlain has seriously, perhaps irreparably, damaged his reputation with the better classes in England.

PARIS, November 24.���-Lamar Lewis, a Boston youth of the "Chimmie Fad- den" type, has betaken himself to Belgium, the French police showing a disposition to lay hands on him. For two years he had been exciting the religious sympathies of American and English Christians here���chiefly pious old women and clergymen���by his mental struggles in search of the true faith. At first he was a Protestant and wanted to become a Catholic. No sooner had he apparently got settled In tho Catholic fold than ho wanted to be shown the way to become a Protestant Lewis lived exceedingly well, wore fine clothes and was able to borrow! money during the periods of religious instruction, and always got a lot of presents when he was finally received into the new denomination. From data collected it is calculated that he was converted at least thirty times.

One is the Trout Lake Topic. It wants a riding made up of the Lardeau and Trout Lake mining divisions and the Duncan river portion of the- Ainsworth mining division. Such a riding would have a population of about 1000. The Revelstoke Herald and Mail want a riding with Revelstoke as the center. Such a riding with thc Lardoau country cut off would have less than 2000 population. The Golden Era and the Canterbury Outlook want northeast Kootenay, with its less than 2000 of population, to remain as it is. The Kaslo Kootenaian wants a riding mado up of the Ainsworth mining division alone, which has a population of about 2500. Were the wishes of these six newspapers granted, 7i>00 of the population of Kootenay would have four members, and the remaining 22,500 would havo four. This is the kind of representation Kootenay and Yale and the lower Fraser country have been denouncing for ten years or more. Too short a time has elapsed since E. V. Bodwell announced his intention to run for office for the newspapers of the province to give their views on his candidacy. A.s far as they have expressed themselves, the V. V. & E. press ip solid for him; but it is noteworthy that his candidacy is not looked on with favor by a single newspaper other than the V. V. & E. organs. There are a number pf newspapers in the province that oppose the Dunsmuir govern ment, yet who do not favor subsidizing either the V. V. & E. or any other railway with money or land. These newspapers appear to be a unit against Mr. Bodwell. This is significant, inasmuch.atf it goes to show that the people, if they had a chance, would vote against Mr. Bodwell. The Tribune, is of opinion that Mr. Bod- ency in Kootenay on his policy as outlined in the Victoria Times. The people, outside of the few who hope to reap temporary advantages, are opposed to subsidizing railways and, getting nothing in return. If railways cannot be built without,, fip.ajicial assistance from the province, then-let-the-province use its credit in building the railways, and owning them after they are built. Ownership does not of necessity mean operation, but it' means something that is of far more importance to.- tho people, that is, control of rates. If the,Dominion government,- as is now. announced, is willing to,subsidize railways.in.this province, it is��� not at all likely.that the subsidies, would '-be, withheld- simply, because the construction of the-roads was undertaken by, the province.

She is built as strong as the best of workmen could make her, and in case of a storm we can always run her into the nearest harbor. "The advantage of such a small boat, is that we can go where we want, stop when we want and see any amount of pleasure. The feedom of traveling in such a boat is simply great, and we always see a fine time .with our little party. - ��� * "All of the ladies are eager sportswomen, and enjoy hunting and fishing as much as Ave do. They are all good .shots. My wife has often shot large gamo in the Adirondacks, and I have a hard time keeping even with her." William Edison is the youngest of Thomas A. Edison's two sons by hia first marriage. His wife was Miss Blanche Fowler Travers, daughter of Dr. Edward M. Travers of this city, whom he married in 1899, at the home of a relative of the bride in Elizabeth. The wedding was a very important affair in Elizabeth social circles. Mr, Edison is an electrician. . Thomas A. Edison, jr., is older than his brother, and is also an electrician. He has announced at various times that he had perfected plans to harness the sea, to snapshot a thought, to telephone across the ocean, had invented a wonderful lamp and' done other marvelous things calculated to make his eminent father look like "small potatoes." " Young Thomas Edison married Miss Tuohey in November, 1899 and there was much domestic discord following, the wife declares. She said her husband was a "high-flyer" and spent money like water and that he had a mountain of clothes shoes and other wearing apparel. Mrs. Edison is now playing at the Madison Square theater. The two brothers have elieady mapped out an interesting plan of pleasure touring for next autumn. A handsome 100-foot steel launch is beins* built in New York especialy adapted for cruising in the Florida waters. With the exception of the interior woodwork, there will not be a bit of wood on'her, and she will be far stronger and more seaworthy than the present boat. The new boat will develop a speed of only about eleven knots a hour. Her beam will bo about fifteen feet, and she will draw only about three and a half feet.

Byers & Company, agents for the Giant Powder Company, have decided to have a powder day, and Wednesday has been decided on as the most convenient. Orders can be placed for powder at any time, but will be filled on Wednesdays. In a circular issued hy the powder company in this connection it is pointed out that this course was forced on the powder company chiefly through the action of the Nelson city council in refusing the use of the city wharf and other slight concessions. H. C. Killeo.i, the engineer in charge of the public work which the provincial government has in hand in thc in ��� terior of the province), has returned from Kast Kootenay, where he laid out the work for a bridge at Michel and one across Perry creek near Old Town. He leaves this morning to inspect the road from Deer Park on Kootenay lake to the Blue Bird mine, a dis- j tanre of three miles.. This Toad Tvas i fount jointly by the owners of the Bins, Bird group of mines and the government, and the company is now taking in a concentrator to its property over it. A meeting of the new labor party which has been organized in this city will be held in the Miners' Union hall on Friday evening for tho purpose of electing officers. John Fitzgerald, the Fernie man committed to stand his trial by stipendiary magistrate Armstrong upon a charge of attempted murder, was brought to Nelson last evening by constable Henderson. Fitzgerald is charged with having used an axe on his man, but the victim of the assault is now out of danger. ' . "* J. M. Cameron, the Socialist, whose mission it is to organize branches wherever he can, did not meet with very much success in the Slocan. He doubtless owes his failure to Tom Mulvey, one of the pioneers of Slocan, who met him on the platform and put the visiting Socialist to rcut. Tom claims to be semthing of a Socialist himself, but he has no room for the Socialism as advocated by Cameron. As nearly as can be learned Tom is a Socialist of the Edward Bellamy school, and he poured a broadside of rhetoric into the Sccialism as preached by Cameron until there was not enough left of the new propaganda to wad a^ gun, and Slocan as a result will have to get along without it. , NELSON, B.C. KASLO, B.C. ESTABLISHED 1892 SANDON, B.C. Gus Theiss and his two partners are meeting with great success in their placer mining venture on Perry creek. Their ground is about a mile above Old Town, a point>more or less famous in the old days of placer mining on Perry creek*. They are now down about eighty feet and are drifting along the bed of the old channel of the creek, and are taking out on an average of $20 a day for the tthree men. Their plant is about the most perfect of its kind ever seen in the province. They have a water wheel attached to their flume which develops sufficient power to run their hoist, and the, water after driving the wheel is 'utilized to wash the "gravel through their sluice boxes. A number of other mining ventures on the same creek are.said to promise good results. H. BYERS & CO.

Agents for Giant Powder Co., Truax Ore Gars, Canton Steel. is in Nelson. It is understood that his visit is in connection with the Mexican property. ��� A. H. Gracey has returned from a visit to the Imperial and Eva groups on Lexington mountain in the Lardeau. He has a crew of twelve men at work on the property and the force will be maintained all winter. D. Wilson, inspector of schools for Kootenay district, is now out of the hospital. He came to Nelson three .weeks ago suffering as he supposed froni a broken arm, but it turned out afterwards that his shoulder was dislocated. W. H. Aldridge and D. W. Moore of the Trail smelter, H. E. Macdonnell, general freight agent of the Canadian Pacific, W. F. Newell of the Selby smelter at San Francisco, D. C. Johnson of the Everett smelter, and J. J. Campbell" of the Nelson smelter, left this morning for St. Paul. As the existing contracts run out' at the end of the year, and all of the smelters represented by the above mentioned persons have been handling Kootenay ores, it is presumed that the present visit may have its effect -on smelting contracts in Kootenay. All of the smelters mentioned are operating outside of the United States smelter trust and It is not unlikely that such arrangements will be' made as will place it out of the power of; the big smelter trust to hamper the silver-lead mining industry of this province.' x- The statement that the recently organized assayers* institute has elec;ed its officers is iuconect. All that has been donu is to place certain members in nomination and before any election takes place tha assayers on the coast will be invited to put in other nominations. The institute has beer, formed as the result of the failure of the provincial government to carry out the act recently passed by the provincial legislature which provides for the examining of assajers and the fining of these who practice without a certificate. So far the enly result of the a��_-ajers' examinations that have been held has been -.he sale by the government of certificates to the successful candidal es, which are of little use so long as persons not proR^rlj^.certiftcated^are^allowed^to.carnyt en business as assayers. The enforcs- nr-ent of the act of the legislature is said to be the chief object of the assayers of Kootenay in organizing their iistitute. The shareholders of the Dundee company have heard nothing of the rumored deal on the Dundee. Although the mine is said to have few equals in view of prospective value, the affairs of the company are in somewhat of a tangle. This is due to the former deal which did not go through. This deal it is understood was promoted by some London stock brokers who, it is alleged, ag.-.-eed to purchase the stock of the Dundee at 25 cents per share and also put ?200,000 in the treasury for development purposes. This flotation is said to have failed owing to the unsettled state (f the London stock market upon the outbreak of the trouble in South Africa, and a suit was to have been stated by -the Dundee company against the London men for damages ftr breach of contract. Nothing has ever been heard of the suit and it is suggested that tha iecent deal in Du 1- dee is but a revival of the old one whijh ;rissed fire. The work that is now going on at lhe property is orly such as would be necessary for its irspectioa and it is being carried on by a crew of nine men under the foremanship of Tom Flynn of Ymir.

The sugar duties will be doubled and countervailing duties against bounties added unless the ministers are alarmed by the anti-British . agitation in Germany, which is seriously embarrassing the government in Berlin. Otherwise all surmises are guesses in the dark. The borrowing powers are still ample, although the Boer war has sent down consuls from 112 to 92, but a large proportion of the military expenses falls upon a limited class ot; income payers which cannot endure increased burdens. PERSONALS. W. H. McKay, one of the pioneers of Bossburg, Washington, is in Nelson on mining business. Rev.

The importance of registration should not be overlooked. Householders who often pay more revenue to the city than property-owners must make a declaration as to their qualifications and hand it to the city clerk this week; if they do not they cannot vote at the next city election. The element that was defeated at the polls on Tuesday last are a.gain at work, and with the same object in view. Mayor Fletcher and alderman Selous are both J. P.'s, Charles Augustus Waterman, adjutant or the West Kootenay Power & Light Company force, is =roadr-tax=collector.=i=It=is=an=easy-mat-= ter to obtain a householder's., declaration when the road-tax is heing collected, provided, always, that the party paying the road-tax is likely to vote the right way, and the two J. P.'s above- named are never far distant The scheme is a good one, and is being worked for all it is worth. The West Kootenay Power & Light Company know that if the City of Nelson builds a power plant on Kootenay river, that there will be no show for it to gain an entrance into Nelson in the future, and the management of that company is making every effort to prevent such a thing happening. One way to prevent it is to elect a mayor and council who will do as the present mayor and council have done. This question means much to Nelson. First. It means that an outside corporation is attempting to interfere in our local affairs, and that these attempts are being aided by nine out. of ten of the managers of outside corporations resident in Nelson. The influence of these men must not be overlooked. Second. It means that tho growth of Nelson is to be retarded so as to enable tha West Kootenay Power & Light Company to have a monopoly of selling electric power in the vi��mty of Nelson. Third. It means that the investment of the city in the electric lighting business is to be rendered valueless. Fourth. It means that the people of .. elson must do as they arc bidden to by men who take their orders from places outside of Nelson. So far the people of Nelson have been true to themselves. Let them continue to be true and the gang of grafters who are now at worlc will get a repulse that will settle them for good. But there is only one way in which this can be accomplished; at the ballot-box. The ballot-box can only be reached by having your name on the voters' list.
