Heedful of public opinion and mindful of the honor with .vhicn a large number of my very distinguished compatriots invested me when they generally selected me to become enief of this cru- _ado of redemption, I come to my country's aid quickly and with diligence, i bring with me all the necessary munitions of war to strengthen our will and render it irresistible. At the same time, I hope to serve as a bond of union between all Venezuelans who desire to save our beloved country from ruin. Countrymen, the sole use of all our arms shall be for the liring of joyful salutes, bearing tidings of contentment and happiness to our homes.

Traitor to all his duties, this unfortunate man has alienated from Venezuela the good will of the countries of tlie world, and his diseased brain has led him to bring about a misunderstanding with Colombia. Countrymen all, lot uc remove this faithless magistrate, who alone is responsible for the misfortunes of Venezuela, and united into bond."* of sincere brotherhood, let us at once re-establish interior peace in our country, harmonious relations between Venezuela nnd foreign powers, and let us liring about the respectful observance in our land of every man's rights and the strict accomplishment of every man's duties.

PARIS, January 2.���-The fashion of dining at some smart restaurant is rapidly increasing in peculiarity, judging by the series of brilliant evenings at the Ritx aud Palace hotels given during the last week. The dining rooms have been crowded with the pick of Parisian .society. ': On Wednesday a very smart dinner was given at the Ritz by the marquis de Paradas, in honor of "he infanta Eulalie, who was charmingly attired iu a cream guipure toilette. The high- necked corsage showed the slightest transparency at the necK in front, while an embroidery of gold thread on the lace draped front was repeated round the hem of the skirt. An accompanying large black picture hat completed a pretty toilette. " Another table was the comtesse Tor- by, elegantly dressed in black spangled embroidered net over white satin; a pretty white toque of draped tulle, trimmed with the fashionable flower of the moment, the edelweiss, and white plumes, was a becoming complement.

This report and the resolution:! were adopted after considerable debate. Tho resolutions adopted read as follows: Whereas, this chamber has consistently favored the establishment through reciprocal concessions in tariff rates of closer trade relations between the United States and tho commercial countries of tho world; and, Whereas, the national reciprocity convention, in its present session in Washington, adopted a resolution commending reciprocity through tariff modifications where it can bo done without injuring any of our homo interests ol? manufacturing, commerce, or farming, thereby rendering any application of reciprocal tariff concessions impracticable: and, Whereas, tho national reciprocity convention in a. second resolution commended the establishment of a new commission, to which shall bo referred all. reciprocal trade agreements, thereby anriuling and "dlsi-ogar(iiiig"ii;lio-*ivaluable"and^beneficinl- work successfully accomplished by the present commissioner plenipotentiary, and the negotiation ot tho important treaties whereby a great part of the trade of the countries would bo thrown open to us; therefore, be it; Resolved that this chamber hereby ox- presses Its disapproval of the action taken bv tho national reciprocity convention in Washington on November 20th, as subversive to all attempts to bring closer trade relations with out sister nations and open now and wider markets for our products; and bo It further Resolved, that, the chamber views with apprehension tho policy advocated by the reciprocity convention as likely to Invito hostile legislation on the part of other nations against this country, to tho great detriment of its commercial interests." Tuberculosis Not Contagious. NEW YORK, January 2.���Dr. S. Knopf, the well-known authority on tuberculosis, tonight addressed the academy of medicine. He said thai, contrary to the opinion of the United States government, tuberculosis was not contagious. A man with well- defined tuberculosis could do his work dailv if tho proper precautions wore taken and' the sputum removed and destroyed. The government, he said, hud-stamped all or those afflicted with the dread disease with a stigma that was not proper. Dr. Knopf declared that the exclusion of immigrants because of alleged tuberculosis symptoms and tendencies was wrong. They were in the major portion of cases well provided not only to care for themselves but their families as well. Decorations to be Discarded.

PHENOMENAL SMELTING RECORD Made by Paul Johnson at Greenwood. GREENWOOD, January 2.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The tonnage of ore smelted at the British Columbia Copper Company's smelter at Greenwood since it commenced operations last February aggregates 117,565 tons. Substituting a few days running in February for those shut down for repairs in August, the above-named quantity represents the ten months' run of a single furnace of the nominal capacity of only 250 tons, and it gives a daily average for the whole period of 384 tons. During recent months though the daily averag. has steadily increased, having been 394 tons in September, 408 in October, 409 in November, and 422}^ in December. The. last month's run was a record one, and totalled 13,098 tons. The last figures are remarkable and constitute eloquent testimony to two prominent facts : First, the particularly favorable nature of the self-fluxing ores of the Boundary; next, the skill of Paul Johnson in designing, constructing, and operating a smelter to produce results that are regarded as phenomenal in the history of copper smelting. CHINESE ARE ANTI-FOREIGN Strong Feeling Manifested. PJ-KIN, January 2.���Several recent occurrences tend to discourage the hope that the dowager empress has learned a lesson of reform from the events of tire past year. Foreigners r.re disposed to take a pessimistic view of the outlook. General Yung Tu'_ determination to organize two anti-foreign corps to offset tiie commands of the pro-foreign Chinese leaders, is particularly disquieting, and is evidence of the continued domination of Yang Tu's influence, whicli is bit- terb" anti-foreign. Other incidents considered significant are the: suppression of the only independent newspaper, in this city by order, of the governor of Pekin, and the closing of the industrial school here, recently organized by philanthropic Chinese, also by the governor's order. Proofs accumulate that prince Ching's arguments persuadsd the dowager empress to trust herself within range of the legation forts. Officials arriving here describe the dowager empress and gen- eial Yung Tu as being extremely nervous and suspicious lest the foreigners rae planning to entrap them after their ai rival and punish them for encouraging Boxerism. The foreigners will probably view the court's re-entrance into Pekin from the wall near the legations. The Chinese officials have been sounded by the ministers as to whether they will enforce the old -justom of restraining foreigners from witnessing imperial processions. The replys are not encouraging. The treaty gives the legations a strip of wall commanding a view ot" the gates of the imperial city, and tlio, members of the Jpreign. community, are planning to assemble thereon. " ft will be a great innovation. A Remarkable Gift CHICAGO, January 2.���One million dollars is tho sum said to have been offered by Robert LeBaudy, a French multi-millionaire, for the establishment of a French industrial school in connection with the University of Chicago. It is proposed that it shall be the greatest institution of its kind in tho world. Th.? tender was made to president Harper through M. LeBaudy's agent, Emile Ridel, of the French army. Dr. Harper promptly replied it was the very thing the university desired, and the preliminaries were settled _t once. The new '���liool Is to be an integral part of the University of Chicago, and the necessary buildings, for which M. LeBaudy will furnish the money, will be located on the campus of that institution. M. LeBaudy, it is said, will also establish an endowment fund. The students will consist of U00 graduates "of French colleges, to be selected by the government, and 200 will be sent over each year. They will come on scholarships, all expenses of transportation and living being defrayed by France. A Popular Appointment, NEW YORK, January 2.-���According to the London correspondent of the Tribune the appointment of lord Marcus Beresford to care for tho king's thoroughbreds is extremely popular. The royal racing stables, after a period of enforced rest, will, it is now expected, resume their old activity. The king takes the keenest interest in racing. Lord Marcus Beresford will have the management of the Wolfordon stud farm as well as the Newmarket training stables. Marconi is Lionized. MONTREAL, January 2. ��� Signor Marconi was tendered a luncheon today - Mr. Fielding, at which sir Wilfrid Laurier, sir Sandford Fleming, sir Sluiughntssey, and other prominent men were present. It is believed that a Marconi station for warning vessels will bo put up on Sable island. Tonight signor Marconi was a guest of the governor-general at government house. CANADIANS NOT SATISFIED FREE STATE FORCED LABOR Want to be Officered by Canadians. TORONTO, January 2.���The Evening Telegram's special cable says: "The Express today says that 'a letter from the Canadians at the front who have joined Baden Powell's constabulary show there is great dissatisfaction among tho men on account of Canadian troops being split up. making them half English and half Canadian. It was understood when colonel Steele left Canada that he would command all of the 1200 Canadians fhat went with him, but instead he was given command of division B only, one which had no Canadians in"it. He >vas refused the Canadian troops that^vere.in -^division, and soon lifter the volonol :'_oiug ordered north tendered his resignation rather than go away with unreliable recruits instead of his own reliable Canadians. One letter declares a storm is brewing, and will come before long, and either ���Monel Steele and a few of the Canadians will go back lo Canada inside of six months or colon-1 Steele will have his own way and get control over his men from Canada. Wants a Law Carried Out WASHINGTON, January 2.���W. R. Matchett of this city, representing the government of Liberia, today made a formal request of secretary Long that action of congress, as embodied in the act of April 17th, 1S6C, oroviding for the relief of Liberia, be carried into" effect. That act whicn was introduced in congress by senator Summer and representative Banks, both of Massachusetts, provides that there shall be ^transferred to the government of Liberia one of'the* gunboats of the United States navy acceptable to the government of Liberia, ard which in tho opinion of the secretary of the navy can be spared conveniently for the purpose. The secretary t is empowered to enter into contract 'vith a representative of the Liberian government for the sale of the vessel to Liberia at a valuation to be fixed by the secretary of the navy, and to be paid in annual installments not exceeding ten in number. Nothing was done in connection with tho legislation until president Cleveland came into power, when secretary Herbert set aside the ol 1 wcoden warship Swarta tor the use of the Liberian government. For various causes, however, the order for the transfer of the vess3l was never carried into effect. A Grave Charge Against Eussia. LONDON, January 2.���The Times tnis morning publishes three alleged sacred documents communicated by Dr. Ular, a prominent student of Chinese affairs, who recently returned to Europe from Manchuria and Mongolia, which go to prove the existence of a bargain negotiated between the late Li Hung Chang raid Russia through the medium of the Russian prince t-khtomsky. Under the tenns. of this bargain thc; Boxer move- n-nt, whicli it is hinted was fomented by Russia, was to be turned against the foreigners, Russia engaging to protect the dowager empress against the western powers-in .cturn for permission to cccupy-Manchuria and a very free hand ir. Mongolia. Commenting editorially on this matter, the Times says it sees nothing in the recent history of Russian act;on in the far cast inconsistent with the story contain-d in the documents supplied by Dr. Ular. More Warships Ordered. GLASGOW, January 2.���The British admiralty has invited Clyde shipyards to tender bids for the construction of two battleships, each of 10,600 tons, five armored first-class cruisers, and two protected cruisers.

Civilization is Disgraced, LONDON,. January ?..��� Captain Guy Burrows, who has just returned from the employ of the Congo Free- State government after six years service, declared in an interview today with a representative of the Associated Press that the conditions prevailing in the Congo Free State were a disgrace*to civilization and far worse than ever before. He pictured atrocities of the most horrible character perpetrated on the natives by officials and whites who had concessions of rubber land. As a typical case of the means employed by the Free State government, captain Burrows corroborated the statement of an American missionary, to -iie effect that the' officials employed .five hundred cannibals, to whom they issued rifles, to "massacre and capture unarmed natives who had rebelled against their brutal methods." "I have sworn testimony," said Burrows, "of the Belgians handing over natives to cannibals for the express purpose of being eaten. Forced labor prevails everywhere, and t-hotgun rule is the truest discription of the present administration. The companies deriving wealth from the collection of rubber are all more or less state enterprises, as a third or half the shares in them are invariably held by the government. Latterly king Leopold and the government have made some show of action against the agents of some of tbe Upper Congo companies, but only minor officials are ever touched, and ".he so-called reforms are mer,ely intended to throw dust in the eyes of the public, whose indignation has been aroused by the stories of this reign r.-f terror. While -"he present systems .for. _the__collec.tion_of_.rubber.t-nd the re cruitment of natives continues the Congo Free State will remain a disgrace to the white man's work in Africa." . The Public Pleased. NEW YORK, January 2.���A dispatch from London to the Herald gives the following account of the manner in which London received the new king Edward stamp. There was an enthusiastic demand and a ready supply but king Edward coins were missing. Many people got up early and went, considerably out of their way to make purchases I" the pretty new penny and half-penny stamps. Quite a number of ancient pil- atelists waited until midnight on Tuesday at the general postoffice, and began asking for tho new stamps which were ���n sale immediately after twelve o'clock struck for New Year'." Day. In the majority of cases the stamps were promptly affixed to letters and post cards which were forthwith postod at "'he nearest letter box. Hotel and Theatre Ablaze.

The loss is estimated at ?30,000. Destructive Fire at Portage la Prairie. PORT AG 13 LA PRAIR1K, Manitoba.

QUEBEC, Quebec, January 2.���William A. Schwartz, for twenty years consul-general of Norway and Sweden In Quebec, died this morning, aged 76. MAY BUY TELEGRAPH LINES Congress Likely to Take Action. WASHINGTON, January 2.���Senator Mason of Illinois shortly after the reconvening of congress will introduce a bill providing for the purchase by the United States government of the telegraph lines now operating in the country. Representative Jackson of Kansas has already introduced such a measure at the other end of the capital, 'but the significance of senator Mason's bill is that he is the chairman of the committee on postoffices. lt is not likely that he would make a move in this direction unless he thoroughly understood the attitude of the administration on the question. His proposed action becomes ali the more significant when taken into account with the fact "that the next postmaster-general, Henry C. Payne, is known to favor government ownership of telegraph lines. Mr. Mason was not willing to talk m the subject today. He seemed surprised that his connection with the matter should have become known. "It is true," he said that I favor the government ownership of the telegraphs, i hey ought to be a part of the postal system of this country just ?.s they are in Europe. The wires, like the mails, are simply a' means ot* communicating intelligence, the only difference being that the telegraph is quicker. The question of the p'roposed purchase has been brought to my intention, and I know that the subject will receive attention at this session of congress. I am contemplating the introduction of a bill providing for a postal telegraph through the purchase of the existing lines." It is una"erstb&d that Mr. Mason's bill provides for the issuance of bonds by the treasury department in sufficient amount to pay for the property of the existing company. The bonds are to bear 2 or 2 1-2 per cent interest; and to run for twenty-five years. It will also provide for the extension of the service, gradually to all of the postoffices of the country, a reduction in the rates, anu for the creation of a sinking fund from the earnings of the "lines with which to pay the bonds. The bill is also to provide that the bonds may be used by the national banks for deposits in the treasury as a basis for their jcir- =culatlonT~~" _______________________ The Nihilists Are at Work.

BID-HOT BATTLE .���,.*?.' NOW SAID TO BE ON BETWEEN RIVAL ROADS. GRAND FORKS'S HOT AIB LINE UP AGAINST HILL'S GBEAT NORTHERN, Billiard Expert Dead. CHICAGO, January _.���Kugeiie Carter, the billiard expert, died today of lung trouble. SPOKANE, January 2.���Reports are current that the Great Northern and "Hot Air" lines to Republic are about to become involved in lively litigation over right of ways through certain mining properties in Republic camp. Th�� flght is said to be waxing so warm that an extra session of court is to be held in Republic, commencing tomorrow, to settle some of the difficulties now existing between tne two roads. ���The fight between the two lines now seems to be centered on rights of way through the properties belonging to the Lone Pine-Surprise Mining Company and the Quilp. The Hot Air line, otherwise known as the Kettle Falls & Re- P-blic road, was the first to survey its route and make definite location. Across the Quilp and Lone Pine-Surprise definite location was made for a spur to reach the ore bins of these two properties. Following this the Great Northern in surveying its line to Republic, made a survey across these two properties on its direct line without any 'spur. The reining companies were' at first of the opinion that the two lines were not conflicting, but would run on different sides of a gulch. This, however, was discovered to be a mistake, the two roads having surveyed almost the same ground. Then came the trouble. The Hot Air line claimed the right of way by priority of location, and also by a grant from th( mining companies. The Great Northern makes its claim by grant from the companies. The mining companies are willing that both roads should run to their ore bins, but nuitber road wants its r'.val to tap these sources ot revenue. This-is where the fight is now centered.'- The Hot Air line, it is said, has already applied for an injunction against tbe Great Northern, which, of course, is to be fought by Hill's end. The two roads could not very well run along the same side of the gulch without interfering by reason of the fact that it would be necessary to make two cuts, one above the ��� ether, and the company on the upper cut would find no small amount of trouble in removing the dirt, which could i ot be dumped over the side for fear of filling in the cut below, while the opposite side of the gulch does not give gcod access to tne ore bins. Each road would like to keep the other from reaching these ore bins. The Great Northern system has an unlimited backing, and will try hard to freeze out the small short line. On the other hand it is reported that the short, line is backed by the Canadian Pacific, and is ready to meet any onslaught from Jim Hill's system.' In fact, it is claimed by many that the Hot Air com-_ 'pany"is"plannihg"tol;r^r^up=tMF"title-' to its right of way dispute with the Great Northern and bond its line, the bonds to be taken by the C. P. R. Thera seems to be no doubt Ihat the Hot Air line made the first definite location ot the right of way. Reported. Alive and Well. .

The Rossland Miner places the value of the ore mined in that camp at $3,700,000, or $700,000 more than the estimate of The Tribune. As the Miner is on the ground and should be able to get figures that are approximately correct, still we believe The Tribune's total is one that the country need not be ashamed of. The Tribune will spportthe candidacy of John A. Kirkpatriek: for mayor of Nelson for th�� year "*!*02, nnd will do its level best to elect bim. John A. Kirkpatriek has announced that he is willing to make the race for mayor at the coming election. Mr. Kirkpatriek has helped make Nelson. Successful in all his own business undertakings since coming here in 1892, he has shown his faith in the town's future by investing what he has made in >i"_iness in the Kirkpatriek-Wilson- Clements block, one of the finest buildings in the interior of British Columbia. . Ho has the time to devote to the duties ' of the office; he has the ability to conduct the city's business on business lines; has no enemies to punish or friends to reward; has a clean record as an alder- ' man, as a business man and as a citizen. ' Tlie people of Nelson will make no mistake in electing John A. Kirkpatriek r__mayor,^for_r_he^cani_be_.dependedJ=.on^toi look after the city's interests first���a trait that cannot be too strongly developed in those who occupy the highest civic position within the gift of the people. A number of names are mentioned in connection with the ofiice of aldermen for the East and West wards. In the East ward alderman 1j ving, ex-alderman Malone, ex-alderman Morrison, R. W. Drew, J. H. Matheson, and Robert Robinson have friends and adherents, and any thiee of these gentlemen could be idepended on to work for the best interests of the city. In the West ward alderman Madden, ex-alderman Irvine, captain D. C. McMonis, W. P. Tierney, and W. C. McLean have supporters who would do their best to elect them. All . these gentlemen have faith in Nelson and believe in its future. They have confidence in the town and in the country that has made tho town. No one of them believes in going into partnership with outside corporations in order to carry on our public utilities. Instead, they believe the City of Nelson should be in a position through its public utilities, to extend a helping hand to private enterprises that will make payrolls within the city limits. Any six of the eleven names mentioned above would be representative, not of a class, not of a faction, not of a party, but representative of the people of Nelson. The Tribune has estimated the yield . of the metalliferous mines of Kootenay and Yale at $10,000,000 for the year end- ind December 31st, 1001, and the Miner estimates the yield at. $13,000,000, a difference of $3,000,000. The Tribune hopes that the estimate of the Miner . is right; but, taking the information that is obtainable as a basis, $10,000,000 will be found to be nearer the mark than ��� $13,000,000. The Tribune estimated the i value of the Boundary ore at $6 a ton, ��� the Rossland ore at $10, the Nelson ore A Bit at the Soreheads, . What insane folly induces either Kootenay or Boundary papers to "knock" their district for the purpose of aiding a few coast "heelers" to make a point on the govsranient is a closed volume to us. There is not a section of the province that is not doing remark- ably well, the condition of silver, lead and copper markets taken into consid- ��� ation, to say nothing of the strenuous efforts being put forth by both home and outside papers to knock the resources of the province. Banks ��� are establishing branches, railways -are building, smelters are being c-re'eted,1 mine's arc shipping, and the people are eating three square meals a day with a surplus laid by to purchase turkey and cranberry sauce, plum pudding.and mince pie on Christmas. The doctor's are wearing store clothes and the preachers are so dealt by that their spirits have arisen to such an extent that they preach more of the love of God ana less of hell-tire. Last but not least anyone who has a pain nowadays can establish a newspaper and work it off while incidentally- earning his bacon and beans. So what under the sun is there to occasion the gloomy forebodings of newspapers. Editors like he of the Grand Porks News and others of his kidney ought to be banished to Kamschatka, where so much of their time would be taken up doctoring chilblains that they would have no leisure to indulge their pessimism at the expense of the country.��� Trout Lake Topic. A Boycott of Intellect. ^"The^Daily'Chro'iicle^bf^Londbh^has" succumbed to the argument that the male writers employed on the paper need protection from the women, and has reduced the salaries of the latter by one-third. The men waited in a body on th3 proprietors and complained that "the rapid advance of women in the practical work of daily journalism was a menace to the profession.*' The same cry is heard in other newspaper offices in London. The dispatch which brings this news omits to say what ratio the pay of women bears to the earnings of men eir ployed as newspaper writers. It is not much of a strain on'the imagination to suppose that the women have to work for what they can get. Nor is it a wild supposition that a cut of a third in their pay might reduce their earnings below a living wage. Some of them may be widows with children to support, and others may be spinsters whom nature has disqualifl.l for matrimony. Seldom is man too ill-favored to many, and some of the -gliest men are married to the sweetest and fairest of women. What is the matter with the London sir Galahads of the pen? Are they not witty enough, keen enough, stable enough, and busy enough to compete with the women who have to put up with less wages? Why not marry some of the poor girls and let them keep house? Instead of deducting a third from their pay, why not draw lots among the single men and decree so many marriages?���New York Sun.

Bryan had to state if he had ever suffered from any fever, and if so, what kind. He Is said to havo written: '���Yes, had two severe attacks of presidential fever, followed by severe chills, but I have fully recovered from both." It is said that at certain seasons in Scot- alnd, when the fishing is not very brisk, the fishermen act as caddies, and are easily recognized by their costumes, a woolen jersey and trousers braced up to the armpits. One of these was asked his name by thd gentleman for whim ho was carrying, and the reply was: "Weel, sir, hereabouts they mostly ca' me 'Breeks,' birt. ma 'maiden' name is 'Broon.' " After preaching a sermon on the fate of the wicked, an English clergyman met an old woman well known for her gossiping propensities, and ho said: "I hope my sermon has borne fruit. You heard what I said about the placo where there shall be Wailing and gnashing of teeth?" "Well, as to that," answered tho dame, "if I 'as anything to say, it be this: Let them gnash their teeth as has them���I ain't." An English treasury official' was once sent over to London to inquire into the expenditure of fuel in the courts. He was received politely by the late lord Morris, the famous Irish lawyer and wit, who said he would put him In communication with tho proper person and rang the bell. When tho elderly female who acted as court- keeper appeared ho remarked, as ho left the room: "Mary, this is the young man who has come about the coals." Lord Coleridge was driving toward his court ono morning in his brougham, when an accident happened to it at Grosvenor square. Fearing ho would bo belated, he called a cab from tho street rank, and bade the jehu to drive .him as rapidly as possible to tho court of justice. "And where be they?" "What! A London cabby, and don't know where tho law courts are at Temple Bar?" "Oh, tho law courts is It? But yo.tr said the courts of justice." jSlr Adam Ferguson describes a shooting ramble ho had one day on tho high grounds near Galashiels with sir Walter Scott. It was an exceedingly windy day, and coming to a farm houso In an exposed situation they went up to it, but could get no admission. At length a female voice wa:i heard within and Ferguson called out: "What's come of the men?" "Oh, they awa o'er to tho Windydoors," (a real place so named). "I think they might havo been content with their ain doors," said Scott, In his dry, droll way, as ho turned his pony's head. A new volume of reminiscences by Dean Hole quotes the following extraordlnay prayer as offered by a loyal but certainly Injudicious English clergyman on behalf of queen Adelaide, tho wifo of William the Fourth: "Oh, Lord, save thy servant, our sovereign lady, the queen; grant that as sho grows an old woman she may become a new man; strengthen her with thy blessing that she may live a pure virgin, bringing forth sons and daughters with the glory of God, and give her grace that she may go forth before her people like a he goat on the mountain." ��� On-a=recent:ivIsItHoiStr=Eouis"arehbishop Ryan, a noted Philadelphia prelate, rode in p. carriago to tho parochial residence with bishop Glsnnon, who is rather dimu- nitiva in size and of slight build, especially in tho stomachic regions, while archbishop Ryan is very tall and robust. As they alighted from the carriago archbishop Ryan said to his companion: "Bishop Glen- non, I was onco asked to explain tho difference between an archbishop and a bishop. I answered (and the archbishop extended his arms in a sem-circle from his own healthy body, at the same time glancing rather sharply at bishop Glennon), " 'The difference is In the arch.' " A man was once condemned in Afghanistan to have his ears sliced off as a minor punishment. Ho had a powerful friend who was much attached to him. This friend begged tho late ameer, in duly submissive tone_, to allow him to perform tho operation, a favor whicli was granted. However, tho amateur asked tho ameer which portion of each ear ho wished to have removed. Tho ameer accordingly touched them lightly. Whereupon tlio Ingenious��� and courageous person preceded to quote a; passage in tho Koran which said that anything touched by a representative of the Almighty became sacred. The despot smiled grimly and forgave them both. What Ontario Has Left. The blue book shows that only 22,- 863,578 acres, or 17 per cent of Ontario, have been sold or leased. This leaves 103,130,422 acres, or -3 per cent of Ontario undisposed of, and in the possession of the crown. Much of the crown land is barren, or too rough for cultivation, or too far north. Put a vastly greater area of good soil or good timber remains untouched than has yet been disposed of. Nor, at the present rate, does Ontario seem likely to be fully settled for a century yet. Since 1894���seven years���only 1,223,j86 acres have been sold or leased by the crown, at which rate the balance of the good land of the province will not be all disposed of for several centuries.���Ottawa Journal. According to a story that Is going the rounds ot the Italian papers, the tenor, Tamango, gave a large supper In his villa at Verese the other day, to which ho Invited all the local authorities and many of his friends. In tho invitation it was Intimated that "while waiting the hour of sun- -per, which is fixed at 11 p. m., there will bo music to begin at 9." Ono of the authorities replied thanking him, adding, however, that ho would some at eleven punctually. Tamango, justly Indignant at such a slight to his voico in favor of his supper, answered: "As the supper is only offered as a reward to thoso who have tho patience to hear mo sing, and who want to be indulgent with me. I pray you to renounce tho supper, and come to dinner with me tomorrow at noon, assuring you that I will not sing." J;: In the great campaign of lSGfl. ono of the arguments used against Lincoln was that he had served but one term In congress, while .senator Douglas had for manv vears enjoyed a national reputation. This point was urged in a heated discussion, overheard, between an ardent .supporter of senator Douglas and a German voter, who favored Mr. Lincoln. Tho former thought to overwhelm his opponent by saying: "Who is this Lincoln? Nobody over hoard oi him until senator Douglas brought lilm into notice by holding joint debates with him. Senator Douglas, on tho other hand, Is a great statesman. Why, ho has had his eyu on tho presidential chair for the last ten years." Vot Is dot you say?" was the reply; "you sav Meester Douglas have had his eyo on tho president chair for tho last ten years." "Yes, that Is just what I said." "Veil, you jest tell Mr. Douglas oof he keep his eye on dot chair shoost a leedle longer, ho will soo old Abo Lincoln sitting down in It."

ENGLISH RAILWAY RATES Serious Discriminations. > Sonic, interesting- information with regard to rules 'that l_ni*Misli railways charge for tho carriage of produce from looal points, in comparison with tlie freight on the same class of goods brought from America to tlie old country, is given in the course of a review published in Ihe London Chronicle on a. book entitled "The Ruin ot* Rural Kngland: A Warning," from the.pon of Sir. John Wesley Martin. The reviewer is Dr. Augustus Jcssop. _"rom the remarks of tho latter it would appear that Mr. Martin has attacked the methods of the English railway companies with considerable vigor, sp far as their freight charges are concerned, and he points t» these as one reason for a decadence in agriculture. Another reason, Mr. Martin alleges, Is that "the agricultural industry no longer offers a future to those who remain on the soil." The tenor of Mr. Martins remarks on the railway problem may be gathered from these extracts from the review of Dr. Jos- sop, and they are strikingly like tlie complaints of discrimination at present being made in Canada. '"Assuming."' lie says, "that the statistics quoted are to lie accepted as accurate, there is cause for uneasiness in Ihe outlook. We are assured that tliilry years ago there were .lsi,!>Uti miles of railway laid down in Great Britain, at an average cost of .C.-J 1.000 per mile. At the end of 1000 the mileage stood at 21,1100, but the cost of the additional OOUO miles amounted to the enormous sum of more than £100,000 a mile, but this money lias not been spent in building new lines, but in carrying on a war among themselves tthe railway companies) for outside traffic. In order to secure this they have built Meets and dock's, acquired harbors, multiplied their rolling stock * * * veil knowing that the money so expended would, from"-'a business point of view, prove unremoperative. "What explanation can bo offered for a policy which at the first blush would seem lo be suicidal? The competition between the great trunk lines has been so keen and fierce Ihat the temptation has ben growing to acquire at all hazards the carriago of foreign imports from the American or continental seaboard, nnd delivering them not. merely at such ports as Liverpool, Southampton or .Harwich, but carrying them on to our great centers of population —London, Manchester, • or Birmingham— such through rates being charged as reduce the land carriage to a figure which is out of all proportion lo the freight demanded for the transit of our home-grown commodities. "Tako the following as illustrations of the working of the process: (1) The freight for meat across the Atlantic from port to port is las a ton, but to secure the carriage of this meat, say from London to Liverpool, a preferential rate of 25s per ton is charged for the railway carriage. 'Preferential'— for .we are told that from intermediate stations adjacent to Liverpool the rate for. home-grown meat is actually double, viz., 50s per ton. (2) Hay is now brought to London from the' American seaboard at 15s per ton, but from stations in mid-Essex, only forty miles distant from London, il cannot be put on the market for less than 15s 2d a ton, while the vexatious delays in forwarding this Essex grown hay, as shown by Mr. Martin's figures, are almost incredible. (3) Fresh meat imported from the continent, and landed at; Southampton, can be delivered in London at 17s lid a ton. The same meat if put on the train at Blshopstoke (six miles nearer to London) by the English farmer is charged £1 7s per ton. (4) Eggs shipped at Calais are delivered by the Southeastern in London at 2(js, but if those same egges are delivered at Dover without going on to London the same freight is charged. So that il at 2Gs. but if those same eggs are dellv- from Dover to London for nothing! "These are some few incidents out of -a-greaUmany_given__in-this--curioiis-boolc,- which go very far to prove Mr. Martin's contention that our home produce is heavily handicapped in Ihe competition with the. foreigners, and that the railway companies aro playing a desperate game of war with one another, which is waged at the expense, not ol* the foreigner, but at the cost of the producer at home. He, poor man, can probably supply a great deal more corn or meat or eggs or butter than ho does, but he cannot do this at a profit when the cost of carriage in his case Is double that which tho foreigner pavs. Under such conditions competition is"impossible."

Not to dwell on a number of "-mall revolutions in Central America, we may begin with the unpleasantness between CoJombia and Venezuela, which led the procession of disturbance.

Bui there was war within war, for- in uotli republics rebellions were in progrcss that in Venezuela being really sanguinary, and widely extended. But for Venezuela troubles do not come singly. For many years the interest on a foreign loan, said to amount now to ?1j,- 000,000, has oeen unpaid.

And of all other liuropean ".-o\v- evs Germany would be the most e-is pt-cted, for it has got into the min Is oil A Bold Doctor's Convictions. There is a story going the rounds that- one Dr. Philippe Marechal, a French scientist, wants to pass laws restricting the wearing of corsets by the women of his native land. Dr. Marechal is a bold man, and he has the courage of his convictions. Paris is. the stronghold of the corset; all the good ones comes from there. ■Women cross mountain chains and perilous seas to get-them, arriving as it were, sacks, and leaving, as it were, sylphs.? They,are the choice products of the city by the Seine, that one buys as one buys a mackintosh in London, corals in Naul'es, and cuckoo clocks in Switzerland., Yet from the inner walls of the citadel Dr. Marechal has lifted up his voice and denounced the corset and all who barter-.in it;in the market place. •'■■■..-: ■"■.'.'■" The world is so used to his denunciation that it goes by without even pricking its ears. No one pays any more attention to the warning note than they did in Niuevah to Johan sitting under his gourd, dismally prophesying general ruin. But Dr. Marechal does not. simply satisfy himself by saying that all womenkind are detsriorating because they persist in wearing garments injurious to health. He evidently knows there is no good in Vnat. What he wants done is a law pa.-sed forbidding the wearing of-a;corset by any woman under-thirty. His idea is that the industry should be taken under the supervision of the government, and, when the victim goes to the corsetiere, she shall not only have to give her measurements, but her age as well. How it will be ascertained that she '•_ telling the truth, Dr. Marechal will have to decide. When you are thirty in Paris, you-look eight- ^eenr-and^when^you-^iook^-thirty^heaven- knows what age you are, but Methu- saleh would be a boy beside you. When a Frenchwoman has got to chocs'- between giving up her corset or owning to the three decades, she is certainly between the devil and the deep sea. Dr. Marechal is not as naif as he sounds. Me evidently intends to keep his countrywomen from weaving the deleterious garment until they are at least fifty. His crusade includes other things— high heels, pointed toes, long skirts, and tight collars. He does not seem to think that women can be reasoned with on these matters. Th*y can only be restrained in their folly by tho passing of laws. The Hindoo widows have- to be forcibly checked from burning themselves on their husband's biers. So the modern women of all civilized countries, having been shown tho iniquity of their manner of dress in many and devious ways, and still persisting in their errors, can only be deflected from their pernicious course by the interference of the law. Dr. Marechal has arrived at the conclusion that there is no use telling them that a corset is an unnecessary evil. They have Deen told that for centuries in books, on the stage, from the pulpit, by doctors, by dress-reformers, by the inventors of patent health- waists, by elderly ladies whose figures are past repair, and it has been of no avail. They have gnnc on down the ringing grooves of .inanges wearing all form."* of it, from the east-iron cages, which were the mode in queen Eliza- beth'sday, to the ribbon' girdles of modern Paris, and have suffered and been strong with the courage of martyrs. Scientists hold that this wierd and eccentric pleasure taken by women in wearing uncomfortable and unsightly articles of apparel, like tight belts or shoes with very nigh heels; their love of brilliant and sparkling articles of adornment, such as jewels and beads; and their inexplicable affection for headdresses adorned with feathers and which never accurately fit tueir heads, are proofs of the woman's close aflilation with the savage. Men, it is urged, do not delight in uncomfortable clothes; they show no desire to be adorned with bead; and they do not clamor for feathers in their hats, but they prefer them severely untrimmed and of a size and shape to set firmly upon their heads. Man is thus much farther from the savage state than woman. There is a close relation between the aborigine—who is Capita! (paid up) - $2,600,000 Rest - - - $1,850,000 HKAD 0-__CK. TORONTO, ONTARIO.

LAY, Manager, proudly uplifted when he can wear an old silk hat several sizes too small for him, and which nas to be held in place by a pair of shoe "_ces tied under the chin—and the fashionable lady in her new* bonnet, which is daintly perched on tlie top of her neatl and held on by means of ornamental' pins and strings of ribbon. And who can deny that the same zest for a barbaric form of adornment does not actuate the native chief with a ring in his nose, and the society queen with diamonds thrust through holes in her ears? This is evidently Dr. Marechal's point of view. There is uo use of arguing or appealing to the intelligence of the simple, primitive femal- of the species. She must be restrained i;.y law. In India she must be.prevented from burning herself alive on her husband's funeral pyre, and in the more enlightened west, she must not wear a corset till she is thirty —or tail she says she is thirty, which is not exactly the same thing, but bears enough resemblance to it to pass. Dr. Marechal has not carelessly chosen this age. His accuation'.against the coi'sot is that it induces to rulmonary diseases, which generally develop before thirty. It is not that a .voman is supposed to have more sense after that. I fear that Dr. Marechal is of the opinion that a woman—in^ the "/natter of personal adornment—is without sense at any period of her career. Is it not odd, however, that this gifted Frenchman -tiould be skeptical of reforming his countrywomen in this particular. Americans appear to be the only women who have seriously tried to combine the rational and the beautiful in dress. This is the only country in which the short skirt is really an institution. If is the only country in which women wear properly wide, low- heeled shoes. And it is certainly the only country where one sees a reasonable number of normally large waists. The French: scientist might well despair of his country-women ■•with'-: their tiny, high-heeled, pointed walking boo'.s, their trailing dresses in the rain and mud of winter, and their amazingly slender figures. In England it is just as bad.. .For .many .years I was regaled with-fair'y^teles of the rational and sensible dressing of Englishwomen. Then, when I saw it, I-realized another allusion", was dead. They are even more frivolously and less hygenically attired than the French. Their heels are quite as high, their skirts are quite as trailing, and their belts are only a little bit larger than their ODllars. But after, all is said and done, is the corset such an instrument of'death and destruction? Can any one lay any very serious charges at its door? We hear a great deal of talk about it, but when it comes to- actual facts and figures, we don't seem to have much proof. Women have been wearing something of the sort according to the variations of fashion, time, and the mechanical arts, since apparel of any kind came into vogue. Of course there is no knowing what they might have been had they gone corsetless since the beginning of things. We might have been a race of giants by-this-time^with^'tho-glory-that-was- Greece and the .-.randeur that was Rome." We might have got even past that stage to the purely intellectual ones to which pessimistic people say ve are. tending, when we shall be nothing but brains, from which every unnecessary \1*%^: ___•__& to to 9) to to run uiuiiuii:ii_i:::::i:r-_ii:_i_i'iHEU DISPATCH IS THE SOUL OF BUSINESS This is always true, but uever more so than in the holiday season of the Jewelry business when the loss of a day in filling an order means the loss of a sale.

There is one curious fact to notice, and that is that the diatribe against the corset always comes from men. Now that so many woman are explorers into scientific mysteries, it is odd that more of them do not hold out the arresting hand to stay their sisters' flight down hill. But. even the women doctors are reticient on the subject.' Some, I hear, have been heard to •tdmit that a well- made corset was not ouch a deadly thing after all. Others of them don't say much, but they wear the article under discus sion, and their clothes always fit. Is it that vanity is so :leeply grafted in the feminine mind nothing will root it out, or iSrithat men are talking of something of which their knowledge is small? If the latter supposition is the case, one can only tell the story of the traveler and the Scotch farm servant. The traveler noticed that the servant was barefooted, and said to her: "My good girl, do all the Scotch farm servants'go barefooted?" To which she replied "Pairtly they do, and pairtly they mind their own business."—Geraidine Bonner, "in San Francisco Argonaut. CLASSIFIED ADS. ARTICLES FOR SALE.

WASHINGTON, January 2. ��� It was stated on good authority at the capitol today that senator Quay will never return to his seat in the senate," says the Washington Times, "that he is preparing to retire from active political life in the neat- future. In a letter received at the capitol today, it was positively stated* that the Pennsylvania senator has decided to resign from tho senate. Mr. Quay has been unable to attend the sessions of the upper body except for one day since the fifty- seventh congress convened. He has remained in Florida and his health, instead of improving, has gradually grown worse. To return to Washington, it is said, would be but to Imperil his life. Senator Quijy has stated that he would have liked to remain her to attend to the legislation of which he is especially Interested, but that he found this Impossible. His friends say that under the most favorable circumstances he would hardly be able to serve out his term as United States senator. Mr. Quay has at present. It Is claimed, no desire to remain in public life, and will surrender as soon as he can do so and do justice to his friends. He can no longer take an active part in legislation, and as he has won all of his battles he is content to retire with present honors. It was admitted today by a senator who is close to Mr. Quay that the resignation will be sent to senator Pry before many weeks. As senator Quay is in Florida and senator Penrose ln Philadelphia, the above story could not be corroborated here tonight, but it was generally accepted among Mr. Quay's friends as being approximately correct. pany will make none, that made a year ago proving unsatisfactory to both parties and productive of the present trouble.

Schley the Favorite. ��� WASHINGTON, January 2. ��� The members of the American Historical Association were mute when rear admiral Sampson was named by the toastmaster at the luncheon in the congressional library today, but applauded loudly at the mention of rear admiral Schley. The character of the men composing the association makes the incident striking and suggestive. Charles Francis Adams is president of the organization, and among its members are scientists, literary men and college presidents.. One ���of the guests who was to respond to a toast, after the luncheon at. the congressional library this aft-rnoon, was captain Mal-an of the navy. Introducing him, the toastmaster explained that the association would doubtless have been happy to have been permitted to greet George Dewey. There was a hearty round of applause at the mention of Dewey's name and the toastmaster continued: "Or admiral Samjison." Not a sound was heard. The stillness was actually painful as the toastmaster hesitated an instant before continuing: "Or rear admiral Schley." Then there was a roar of applause that made the banquet room ring and drowned the speaker's voice. The cheers died away and broke forth again. Grave and ordinarily dignified'men of letters clapped their hands and shouted like a crowd of school boys or pleased first-nighters. The demonstration Avas remarkable in that it came from men by whom the history of the Spanish war will be written. Killed an Alleged Highwayman.

John Biomberg has resumed the proprietorship of the Grand hotel on Vernon street, and wants his old friends and patrons to know the fact. Tha dredger at Kootenay Landing has broke.down, which has put a stop to the work for a few days. A channel for about half the distance has been excavated. Martin O'Reilly is stock taking and expects to be through in about a week's time. As soon as he is through, he will begin moving to Fernie, whero ho has decided to locate. A special meeting of the Licensed Victualler;;' Association will bo held In the board of trade rooms this afternoon at 3 o'clock. All members aro requested to attend. Ex-postmaster Gilker now greets his friends as If he had not a oaro in the world. Postmaster Gibson Is already getting bald- e.\ although ho has only been postmaster two days. Married���At Spokane.

Claims to he the Original Discoverer. ^STrEOUISrJ anuary=2.^Jr GrReeh= of this city today presented to director- of-works Taylor of the world's fair plans and specifications of an airship, thf original drawings of which he claims were stolen from him nearly ten years ago by a Frenchman and taken to France, where he now claims they have been reproduced in th3 air craft made famous by Sanio_-Dum'ont. Mr. Reen _ays he is the discoverer of the principle which has lc-t-n used by the daring Brazilian in his (lights around the Eiffel tower. He has requested director Taylor to inspect his models and drawings, with a view to building and equipping *vi airship for experiments at the world's fair. Yesterday, on paying a subscription for tho daily edition of The Tribune, a business man of Nelson who has not In tho past been classed as a "Houston man." said: "t have been a resident of Nelson for four years, and during that timo 1 have not al- ' ways agreed with tho views expressed by ��� The Tribune; but I am now compelled to ��� admit that tho stand taken by The Tribune Tho Rossland amateurs will appear at the opera house this evening in tho laughable comedy Confusion. Tho Rossland people have played to good houses In their home city, nnd this, more than anything else, has induced them to give a performance in this city. Those who patronize the show may be sure of a very enjoyable entertainment and aside from this Nelson owes It- to tho visitors from Rossland, ln return for past favors, to see that they get a bumper house. Thomas Cottrell Collins Is back in Nelson from a trip through the Lardeau. He reports everyone at Ferguson and Trout Lake confident that they have the best mining district in British Columbia. The railway is within ten miles of Selkirk, which is situate at the east end of Trout lake. The force at work numbers about 200, and they will be employed at finishing up the grade, which will take about two months. The tracklaying crew has been taken off, and no more track will be laid until spring. A good story comes from Molly Gibson Landing. The ore coming down from the Molly Gibson mine Is very rich, and some of the pieces make fine specimens. A well- known ranchman was at the landing the other day, and asked the man in charge of the ore for a few specimens to send to a mining man in Montana. The specimens were given freely and upon being asked tho name of the mining man to whom they were to bo sent, the ranchman replied, "Whv, to my friend Marcus Daly." As Marcus Daly has been dead for over a year, the ranchman Is now treating the boys to keep them from telling the Joke that is on him. Telephones on Dining Tables There is a new quick-lunch telephone in Chicago, and the city has the honor through te Chicago Telephone Company of being the first in the world to provide diners with telephones while they eat. The broker, financier, merchant now eats his lunch placidly, certain that his place of business can call him up and talk back to it without, leaving his table. Three cafes of the city are already using the system, and it promises to be installed in all the popular eating houses within a short time. All the dining table now needs is a stenographer and typewriter to make man absolutely happy.���Chicago Herald.
