ItcUum ESABLISHED 1892 SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 18, 1902 DAILY EDITION MUST HAVE FUEL FEDERAL CABINET MUST FACE THE ISSUE. MININO AND SMELTING INDUSTRY IS DEPENDENT UPON CROW S NEST COAL. ��� VICTORIA, January 17.���The daily Province of Vancouver, the leading Liberal paper of British Columbia, publishes a long- special from its correspondent at Fort Steele today, in the course of which it says: "As every one knows, East Kootenay contains some of the richest silver-lead deposits on this con tinent, perhaps in the world. The task of developing these properties has been beset with many difficulties. Labor troubles at one time tied up the district, but peace now reigns and tnough wages are high, it is thought more economical to pay big wages than to precipitate fresh strikes. The price of lead ore in the United States is so much greater than the price in eastern Canada, China, or the United Kingdom, and that market is so much nearer the base of operations here, that with free trade between Canada and the United States every pound of lead produced in the Kootenays would go across the line and yield a far higher profit to the mine owner than he can possibly get today in those lower and more distant markets. Unfortunately congress has levied a duty of 1 1-2 cents per pound on lead in ore, with a duty of 2,1-8 cents per pound on pig lead. Thus our product is virtually excluded from its nearest and best place of sale, a state of things which reduces the value of every silver lead mine in the country, as compared with what its value would be if it were on the American side, at least,to the extent of $10 per ton of ore. Under the Dingley tariff, American smelters are at liberty to smelt Canadian ores in bond, on condition that they export 90.per cent of the resulting lead. For some time past, however, the smelting trust in the United States has refused to buy Canadian ore, simply because it is unable to control the output of lead in the United States and has more on its hands than it can get rid of without bringing about a reduction of price, namely $3.50 per .100 pounds, which it pays for the product of American ores. Our Canadian ores have therefore to be smelted at Nelson and Trail, or at Everett, Washington, and San Francisco, these two American smelters being the only ones within reach that have not been absorbed by the smelting trust. Hitherto, for this reason, the smelting charge, or as it is called, the cost of freight and treatment paid by the Kootenay mine owners, has been somewhat high, but was reduced the other day from $19 to $15 per ton. This reduction has been forced by the fall in the value of silver and lead, which amounts_all round to no less than $20 per ton of ore. The freight and treatment charge could be still further reduced if we had cheaper coal and coke. The cost of coal and coke represents 25 or 30 per cent of the ^whole=cost=of-smelting-!ead-ores,-and-aU least 50 per cent of the cost of smelting the gold copper ores of the Boundary country. The entire fuel supply of the Kootenays comes from the Crow's Nest. The Crow's Nest Coal Company, organized by certain persons in Toronto, is the pioneer of the industry and has had to spend a great deal of money in experimenting and obtaining a knowledge of the peculiar local coditions. On this account the Kootenay mine owners are quite willing to pay it enough to yield a fair return upon the capital invested. But the present price of $2 per ton for coal and $4 for coke on the cars at Fernie is without doubt too high, ln any event it is essential that the Crow's Nesl Coal Company should cease to have a monopoly of the fuel supply of southeastern British Columbia. There is no hostility to the, existing company. It deserves and is given credit for the enterprise it has displayed. But the time has come now that we have entered upon a period of depression, to terminate its monopoly and introduce competition. The situation is aggravated by the fact that James J. Hill has come into possession of a large interest in the Crow's Nest Coal Company. There is no coal or coke so good as this on the American side of the line at any point within convenient distance of the American smelters. Mr. Hill is building a line from Kalispel, on the Great Northern, to Fernie, which will be completed in July. He will then, it is said, secure the controlling 'interest in the Crow's Nest Coal Company. He "would scarcely spend the money to build a road to Fernie unless he was sure of becoming master of the mines. With this road finished, he will at once begin to feed American smelters with coal and coke, and, of course will be in a position to "hold up" the Canadian smelters, and, in truth, drive the smelting industry of British Columbia into the United States. This but adds to tho necessity of establishing competition with the Crow's Nest Coal Company and of establishing it at once. It has taken that company three years of hard work to ship a thousand tons of coal daily. A rival company would require at least, six months or more to open its mines,, get its machinery in working order, and be ready to compete on anything like an equal footing with Mr. Hill and his Kalispel road. It so happens that there are Wreck of a Steamer. LUDINGTON, Michigan, January 17. ���Tho Pere Marquette Railway Company steamer No. 3 struck the bar at the mouth of the harbor early today while attempting to enter, in a high southwest gale, and was scuttled in nine feet of water. The nine passengers and the crew of thirty were taken off the wrecked craft by a life saving crew with their breeches buoy apparatus. The No. 3 lies 150 feet from the end of the north pier and 20 feet from the shore with the waters dashing over her decks. She is already a mass of ice. The accident occurred before daylight. Passengers and crew were rudely awakened by the succession of shocks as the steamer pounded on the bar. Singnals of distress were immediately blown and the life saving crew quickly responded. Running their mortar out on the pier, the life savers shot a line to the wreck. Over this line nine passengers, four of whom were women, and the crew of thirty were safely taken in on the breeches buoy in two hours. Great, waves broke over them and all were drenched by the icy waters. Cruel Treatment Denied LONDON, January 17.���A blue book, which was issued this morning on the subject of concentration camps in South Africa, contains further detailed explanations from lord Milner, the British high commissioner, and lord Kitchener, as to the causes of the excessive death rate in the camps, and refutations of the charges of cruelty. Lord Kitchener emphatically denies commandant Schlak- burger's charges of forcible removal and exposure of pregnant women, and other only four available places for mining in the Crow's Nest. At two of these, Michel and Coal Creek, the existing company has started mines and it will soon begin to mine at a third point north of Morrissey creek. The only remaining point lies on the south side of Morrissey creek and is embraced in the area reserved by tho Dominion government for the purpose of "homing a club" over Messrs. Hill Jaffray and Cox. Though they profess to deny it, these gentlemen naturally enough, wish to get possession of the deposit south of Morrissey, which would give them absolute control of all the Crow's Nest coal measures. They could not very well ask 'Mr. Sifton to convey the land south of Morrissey_tO themselves, that is, the Crow's Nest Coal Company, so they are trying to induce him to convey it to aii allied company, masquerading under another name. Failing in this, they will insist that Mr. Sifton shall not lease the the land south of Morrissey at all, but lock it up and keep it out of the market in order to shut off competition with themselves. As may be imagined, the Kootenay mine owners do not relish this prospect. The coal deposits at the Crow's Nest are perhaps the sole factor in lead mining, in which we have a distinct advantage over the Americans, lt is our one ewe lamb, and to see it carried off by Mr. Hil 1 in the interest of the American smelters, is more than Canadian human nature could endure. No one supposes, however, that Mr. Sifton will allow him self to be jockeyed into consummating the Hill monopoly in mat fashion. The Canadian Pacific railway, whose Crow's Nest line traverses the coal measures, is not at liberty to mine, being debarred from doing so by an agreement made four years ago with the Crow's Nest Coal Company, when no one had any idea that Mr. Hill would ever appear upon the scene.. It is obvious, however, that the only effectual 0 competition against Mr. Hill that could be established would be a competition carried on by a rival coal company on such friendly terms with the C. P. R. that the two together would leave nothing undone to cut prices and give Canadian smelters a good article of coal and coke. As it is, the Canadian smelters declare with one voice, that the Crow's Nest. Coal Company is shipping its best coal and coke to the United States via Leth- bridge and supplying them with infer ior stuff at anexorbitant figure. Happily, the subject is not mixed up with party politics. Mr. Jaffray is president of the Toronto Globe, and Mr. Cox a Liberal senator, but they are not the whole Liberal party, with the cabinet thrown in. As already said, no one h_s the slightest desire to injure them or their company. All tuat the Kootenay mine owners ask, and it is a reasonable request, is that honest competition shall be set on foot so that Mr. Hill shall not have it in his power to discriminate against Canadian, and in favor of American smelters and also that the present high price of fuel may be reduced, now that we are obliged to curtail outlays of all sorts because of the heavy fall in the value of silver and lead. No doubt Mr. Sifton will do what is right and do it at once. It is essential that the new coal company, who ever may compose .it, should start development work without delay, in order that it may begin shipping to Canadian smelters as soon as Mr. Hill's road is finished, otherwise the process of wrecking Canadian smelters or discriminating against therii may be carried so far as to leave the situation far beyond the hope of recovery. Last session the Dominion parliament voted a bonus of $100,000 a year for the establishment of a lead refinery in British Columbia. At present, our lead bul- lioiv^has-to^be^sent-for-refining-to-San^ Francisco. The proprietors of the Trail smelter have begun the erection of a refinery there which will cost $50,000. The plant will be added to as the production of lead increases. Mine owners will, it is said, get the full benefit of the bounty of $5 per ton, which will be of great assistance to the industry. But it would be a manifest contradiction for the government to pay this bounty for refining with one hand if with the other it was helping James J. Hill to throttle mining and smelting in this province. accusations of rough and cruel treatment and says: "I offered Botha to leave the families and relatives of fighting burgers in undisturbed possession of their farms if Botha would agree to spare the farms of families of surrendered burgers. Botha emphatically refused, saying: 'I am entitled to force every man to join, and if they do not join, to confiscate their property and leave their families on the veldt.'" The blue book gives its statistics for the month of December last when there were 177,017 inmates of the camps, and 2380 deaths, of which number 1767 were children. TEBBIBLE HAYOC CROWD OF WORSHIPPERS KILLED. _!__ More Exiled Boers. HAMILTON, Bermuda, January 17.��� The British transport Montrose, has arrived here from Capetown, with another detachment of Boer prisoners. PRINCE HENRY SAILS TODAY For Fair Columbia BERLIN, January 17.���The secretary of the imperial admirality Von Tireptez, and the chief of emperor William's personal military staff, general Von Plessen, are to accompany prince Henry of Prussia on the latter's visit to the United States. The other members of the prince's suite, besides vice-admiral baron Von Seckendorf and adjutants Von Schwind and Von Egidy, whose names have already been mentioned, will be captain Von Trotha, the emperor's general aide-de-camp, captain Von Mueller, commander Von Grumme, who is also aide-de-camp of the emperor's, and staff surgeon Reich. . His majesty definitely made these selections after conferences this morning. Admiral Von Sechendorf, in giving the correspondent of the Associated Press these names said: "The emperor personally, is making all the arrangements that can be made on this side. The details as to how prince Henry shall spend his time in the United States are left to secretary Hay and Dr. Von Holleben, but our general idea of the dates is this: "We arrive on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm, February 22nd, at New York, and not at Hampton Roads as first reported. Prince Henry will go an board the Hohenzollern and will stay there till the launching of the emperor's new yacht, which, we think, will probably be February 24th.. We go to Washington to see the president, and, perhaps, stay there several days. Then we make the most of the next few days in seeing other cities, returning to New York for two more days before we sail for home on the Deutschland on, March 8th. This general design, as you see, fills about four weeks, one week in going each way> and a fortnight in the United States, it was suggested to admiral Von Seckendorf that two weeks was not enough for the prince to see much of America, and that he ought to spend a longer time in the United States and go west and south, to which the admiral replied it would be difficult for his royal highness to spend a much longer time there though the Deutschland sailing can be delayed a day or two if it seems desirable. An invitation from Chicago is mentioned, I see, but I am unable to say whether it will be accepted. That will be left to your people." Regret was expressed at the fact that the emperor could not visit the United States. "He would like to go," said admiral Von Seckendorf, "but we cannot spare him for so long a journey now." The admiral was asked if it was possible that the emperor might visit the United -States^at^some-future^time.���^It-would- please him greatly," answered Von Seckendorf," it is not an impossibility." BERLIN, January 17.���The Lokal An- zieger today prints the following: "Emperor William has commissioned prince Henry to meet the prominent New York yachtsmen and invite them to participate in the Kiel regattas, beginning June 2'th. Prince Henry will also ask the president to permit the United States Mediterranean squadron to be present at Kiel during the regatta week, so that American seamen may participate in the barge races. Prince Henry bears a valuable present from emperor Willian for Miss Roosevelt. WASHINGTON, January 17.���William W. Downey, a member of the firm building emperor William's yacht, called at the White House today. It was decided that the launching shall occur at 10:30 a. m. on February 25th.- Trial of Dr. Krauz Continued. LONDON, January 17.���The trial of Dr. Krauz, the former governor of Johannesburg, on the charge of inciting Cornelius Broecksman, the public prosecutor of Johannesburg (who was executed by the British authorities in South Africa) to murder John Douglas Foster, an English lawyer, who was on the staff of lord Roberts, opened at the Old Bailey today. If the prisoner and his friends were suspected of a design to explode dynamite in the court the precautions against the admission of unauthorized persons could not, have been more stringent. Everyone was closely scrutinized and compelled to produce a card of admission. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. * Premiers to Visit Canada.

Six Tame Rounds to a Draw. PHILADELPHIA, January 17.���Lew Ryall and Young Kelly, both of this city fought six tame rounds to a draw tonight. , MEXICO CITY, January 17,-One of the most terrible catastrophes ever recorded in tho state of Guerroro is reported haye occurred late yesterday afternoon when an extremely violent earthquake, which was felt at Chllpaningo, caused a great loss of life and injuring many persons. Details from the stricken district are very meager, but scattering reports received here indicate probably 300 persons were killed and as many more Injured. It is known that the state capital, the parish church, many business houses and residences are in ruins and there is niuch suffering as a result of the awful seismic disturbance. One of the edifices that suffered most was the federal telegraph office, which explains the scarcity of news that'has reached this city. The telegraph lines and apparatus were badly damaged, but the employees, all of whom were Injured, quickly proceeded to erect an improvised telegraph offlce on the outskirts of the city. The number of deaths were greater ln the parish than in any single place, as the crowd of worshippers were gathered there for tne afternoon service. The solid masonry wall toppled down on the' worshippers. The war department has ordered the troops in the neighborhood to co-operate In the work of��� rescue. "Until this work is completed it will be impossible to learn the number of victims. It Is believed that this Is the most destructive seismic phenomena that has occurred in Mexico. The greater part of the people of Chil- paniclngo are now camping out under trees around, the town, which is five days' journey from the national hospital. Tho earthquake shocks were felt in many other cities and towns. In Mexico. City the earthquake took place at.5:17 yesterday afternoon and was of such violence as to shake the most substantial buildings. The flrst movement was very sharp. It was folowed by an easier oscillating movement north northeast to south southwest. The duration was 55 seconds. The damage in the city was only slight. Reports received here tonight state the shock was very severe at Chilapa. No casualties are so far reported from there. In.durance the Chilpanclngo. was less prolonged than ttiat of Mexico City, having lasted 50 seconds against 55 seconds at the capital. The earthquake was also very heavy at Iguadida, in the state of Guerroro. destroying the parish church, and many buildings in the city and neighborhood. Among the latter was a sugar mill of general Prisbi, an' American. The mill had just been completed and fitted up with American machinery at a cost of $200,000. The property loss is immense throughout the state. Progress of Marysville Smeter.

The town has also a waterworks system and a volunteer fire department. The photograph of i he smelter building shows that it is nearly completed, and a commodious office building has b-sen finished and is ready for occupancy. Close,to the smelter Is a saw- niill, which has a daily capacity of 15;000 feet of lumber per day. This plant has been ln operation for 3o?ne time and is cutting all the lumber and timbers that are being used in the construction of the new works. Superintendent J. S. Austin is now In Denver, Colorado, purchasing machinery for the plant. It Is expected that he will return from thera next week. Work on the smelter is being rushed and the officials here say that they will te ready to "blow in by the 1st of June.

OAKLAND, California, January 17.���Jack O'Brien of New York was given the decision over "Young" Glbbs of Cleveland at the end of the 15th round last night, lt was O'Brien's fight all the way through. " PHILADELPHIA, January 17. ��� Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher, who were her-* aided to fight six rounds before the Industrial Athletic Club for the champion ship, of Ireland, were stopped' by referee Roecap in the middle of the third round of ono of the poorest exhibitions ever given In this city. The ,men were arrested early In the evening and bound over in $5000 bail to keep the peace, and this damped their vigor and reduced the steam of their blows. There was not a blow struck which would have rocked a cradle. When the bout had progressed for about two and a half rounds amid incessant yells of "take them off," referee Roecap stepped to the side of the ring and said that he had been asked to refree a contest. "This is not a contest," ho concluded, and the men took their corners and the contest was over. Both Sharkey and the president of the club attempted to address the angry crowd, but neither were permitted to speak. The spectators were worked to such a pitch that they broke chairs and benches in/their desire to get even. It was little satisfaction for the 4000 spectators who had paid from $2 to $5 for seats. : PHILADELPHIA, January 17. ��� Tom Sharkey and Peter Maher, the pugilists, and James McFarland, an official of the Industrial Athletic Club, under the auspices of which organization the Sharkey- Maher fight took place tonight, were arrested late this afternoon on warrants charging them with conspiracy to commit a breach of the peace. They were held in $5000 bonds to keep the peace and appear in court tomorrow morning. Bail was furnished. The warrants were sworn out by J. D. Barnitz, a citizen who represents the law and order society of this city. More than a dozen witnesses were subpoenaed, most of them sporting writers on Philadelphia and New Yorks papers. About halC a dozen of the witnesses were examined and the magistrate considered that sufficient evidence had been elicited to warrant him in holding the prisoners. The men ���promised that there would be no knock out, '* no violence and no Infraction of the state laws regarding prize fighting and that they, , would.' engage - only", in ,a sparring : contest. This promise was accepted by the police magistrate and the bail was fixed at $500 for the three men. He said If they' lived up to the promise they will be discharged on their appearance in court tomorrow, morning. At the commencement there was a tiresome wait of 40 minutes. The fighters insisted on seeing their money before entering tho ring and It was 11:40 when Sharkey; made his appearance. He was followed a.' moment later by Maher. Both men wero greeted with tremendous applause. Seated close to the ring were champion James J. Jeffries and former champion Robert Fitzsimmons. Little time was wasted In formalities, the men quickly donned the gloves) and at 1.1:45 the fight began. In Sharkey's corner were Dave Sullivan, Jim Buckley and Al F. King, while Tim Callahan, p'eter Lowery and Mike Campbell were behind Maher Round 1.���The men sparred for a few seconds, Sharkey being the first to lead, Maher rushed to a clinch. They merely tapped each other. There was loud cries oC "take 'em off," and many of the spectators, started to leave the building. There was not a blow In tho first round hard enough, to jar the teeth of a featherweight. "When the men took their corners there was hisses: and cries. Round 2.���After fiddling for a few moments Maher led a light left on Sharkey's stomach. Sharkey slapped Maher over tho face with the open glove and the two mere wrestled over tho ring. Sharkey led his left and Maher ducked Into a left uppercut. Tho men-con tin ued-their-glovo-tapping-an $15 and $20, at $5.

Savings Bank Branch CURRENT RATE OF INTEREST PAID. THE BEAR'S OWN STORY Without Moral or Point. Alexander Tremblay, the famous hunter and trapper ot* tlie Parry Sound district relates the folloAviug bear tales: Two years ago last, spring he was returning to his shanty after buying a quantity of supplies. These he packed and carried them on his shoulders in tlie Indian fashion, with a supporting strap around his brow, the bundle projecting high above his head. Walking slowly along the main trail Avith his head bent, his sense of smell warned him of the presence of a bear. He looked up quickly, and saw a fair-sized bruin of the black variety some twenty paces in front of him. The bear regarded him Avith wondering gaze, apparently doubtful as to Avhether his form, with the big pack looming boldly above him, Avas really that of the man's, or that of some new animal. Tremblay on his part was mentally debating as to the best course to pursue under the circumstances. And so they halted for Avhat seemed to the man to be "a leetle cternitee." The bear was on its hind feet, standing straight "1>, waved its paws in an aimless fashion, and finally drew one across its eyes, as though to clear his vision. Then it dropped to all fours and backed slowly to a little stone-capped knoll on the side of the road, sat down and waited. ��� Tremblay concluded that, boldness in this case was the better part of valor, and continued to walk, conscious that, bruin was still trying to form an opinion as to Avhat manner ol" animal this could be. On passing the knoll Tremblay turned and gave vent to a series of shouts. Bruin's head was sharply raised, his Avhole attitude betokened startled conviction and fear. "Scratch my fur, but it's man after all," he seemed to be saying to himself, as he plunged into the thicket arid disappeared. * An amateur sportman during tlie spring season spent a few weeks with Tremblay and met Avith an adventure which, while ending happily, and furnishing a hearty laugh, he has no wish to repeat. He borroAved one of the trapper's dugout canoes, and started off on ono of the small lakes of the Parry Sound district in search of game, his Aveapon being an old, but hitherto reliable musket and a tomahawk. Fortune Avas against him, and after unsuccessful explorations of several points at which he landed, he commenced his return journey in the late afternoon. Within a mile of the home shore he saAV what he at first thought to be a piece of clothing floating in the Avater. He paddled toAvards it. and his heart beat fast with anticipation AVhen he discovered it 'to "be a-good-si-ed black' bear. Bringing1 the'canoe alongside ^ruin*,. lie i'eached o'utV placed the muzzle of the musket against the ajumal's head and pulled the trigger. But, alas, for visions of glory, bear steak and a good hide, the weapon missed flee. Again he "tviedrand-again^the-muskct-refusea-to. act up to its reputation. Meanwhile the bear, evidently tired of swimming, had apparantly arrived at the qonchis- ion that he would go to shore as assistant crew of the dugout. Placing his paAvs on the dugout he proceeded to climb aboard, A dugout is ant (o play queer tricks unless properly handled, and the young sportsman, having no desire to take a hath at that time, and realizing too. late the bear's Intention, confined himself to preserving the equilibrium of his craft. If necessity demanded it he determined to fight With his tomuhaulc and take the chances of a ducking. Bruin, however, had uo thought of war. He simply desired to get to land with as little exertion as possible, and he squatted down- at one end ot" the dugout, while the sportsman, sitting as far away as possible, paddled toward tho fihore. The mail ��as< frightened and"Kept a" close Watch' on 'the' animal. The bear sal pprfectly quiet however and seemed to be "filled with the melancholy thoughts winch a brilliant;, sunlight followed by f,he falling*-hadows of night are apt to produce' in even the healthiest of. minds. At last the 'dugout Avith its strangly varied UYing freight struck land. The man "jumped out quickly the bears movements were more leisurely. On reaching terra Anna it nodded its head as though to convey a "Thank you old chap," and Avalked slowly aAvay. Tremblay, Avho had been looking for his young friend, was a spectator of the close of the episode. At the young man s request he made no attempt to slay the animal, but the forme;', Ay.hqso nervous sv-tphfwa-'yet'xths'ti'ui'ig by the.strange encounter, could not give a corrected story of the incident until he had rested and partaken of the evening meal. ' r��]*e sportsman referred to himseli tells the following' story of which he was an eye-witness, as illustrating one of'tho'manv fine traits in Tremblay's character. One year ago last spring the old hunter set a trap on the main trail, near to his shanty, at a point where he believed bears were in the habit ot ������rosriing. ''On the following morning," _ays the young man, "we found a sho bear in the trap, quite dead. Lying on her body Avas a cub Avith claw wounds on its back. Another sat near her head and his own head Was cut in attempting an escape. They took no no- THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE WITH WHICH IS AMALGAMATED THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA.

After removing the trap and before skinning the dead animal Tremblay took off his thick hunter's shirt, wrapped it carefully and tenderly around the cubs and carried them to his shanty. He Avashed their wounds, fed them some bread, all the time remarking, "Pore leetle fell'rs, pore leetle fell'rs." Then he made a. bed for them near the fireplace. No one would have given kinder care to a sick friend than he did to thoso cubs, and from his conversation and conduct I am convinced that he was actuated solely by kind-heartedness, and not by any thought of bringing them up for future gain. They died within two days, however, and Tremblay's soitoav Avas genuinely deep." VANITY FAIR. Bennet Burleigh, the noted English war corespondent, reports a suggestive conversation between a British officer and a Boer field cornet, under the ilag of truce. The former asked: "When do you think the war Avill be over?" "Oh," replied the other, "AVhen you people are able to catch a horse with an ox-Avagon; not before." Not long ago, AVhen Wu Ting-fang, the Chinese minister, Avas showing the portraits in the Corcoran Art Gallery, his guide pointed out a portrait of the late Li Hung Chang, "lt doesn't look like him," said the minister. "It's only a three-quarters vieAv," replied the guide. "It doesn't look three-quarters like him," returned Mr. Wu. On one occasion, governor "Dick" Oglesby went down to Joliet to inspect the state prison, and in one of the cells he found a very ugly man. "How did you get in here?" asked Oglesby. "Abduction," Avas the reply; "1 tried to run off Avith a girl, and they caught me." "I'll pardon you as soon as I get back to Springfield,' said the governor; "1 don't see how you could expect to get a wife in any other Avay.." A travelling man v/no drove across the country to a little town in Western Kansas the other day, met a farmer hauling a wagon-load of Avater. "Where do you get water?" he asked. "Up the road about seven miles," the farmer replied. "And you haul water seven miles for your family and stock?" "Yep." "Why, in the name of sense, don't you dig a Avell?" asked the. traveller. "Because its just as far one way as the other, stranger." Captain Richard Phillips Lary, IJ. S. N., who passed away a fortnight ago, issued a number of proclamations shortly after he was made first governor of Guam, which contributed materially to %he gayety of natipnss. Perhaps his most famous order was on the subject of matrimony, upon which subject the natives of Guam did not seem to have very definite ideas. Captain Leary reported that "the divorce court and the hymeneal altar are popular resorts. The.court_orders and the _merry_ wed ding bells are constantly and harmoniously ringing out their decrees." When he was plain professor Thompson, lord Kelvin invented a mirror gal- anometer and siphon recorder, which made submarine telegraphy commercially practicable. It is rolated that one day when he was engaged on his deep- sea sounding \vorlc, he was discovered by a visitor experimenting Avith a long coil of wire, "What is that for?" inquired the visitor, pointing to the wire. "Making sounds," replied tho professor. "Ah," said the guest, jocularly, "what kind of note does it give oil"?" "The deep C, of course," came tho answer, like a shot, accompanied by the well- known winkle in the professor's eye. Not so many years ago, there Avas a veteran teacher in the Boyd- High School, vv'ho often ma'ile his classes wince under the lash of his bitter sarcasm and ready wit. One day a little half-starved, yellow cur strayed into the school, anil tfio buys thought they saw a cluince to express their feelings toward ''Fussy," who AVas busy in another rooni- The frightened mongrel was picked up, quickly fitted Avith a pair of large Avire spectacles, and placed on the teacher's chair. "Fussy*' entered the room, walked to his desk, and then, turning to them, pleasantly said: "In my absence, I see you have hold a business meeting and elected one of your number chairman." General William Joyce ScAV.ell, who passed away at $vmfj_:������,, N.'.)'., on December _7t.h,' was a generous friend and an equally good hater, as Avas shown by his treatment of colonel Scovel, \yho had dared to dispute nis authority in Camden politics. On. lime, when the colonul thought he had smoothed things over sufficiently to make it possible, he ventured to ask Scwell to send him a pass to San Francisco. The pass came by return of mail. "But, general," Scovel exclaimed, at an early morning call at the West Jersey railway oflleo the next day, "tlie pass is only to San Francisco. There is no return coupon Avith it." "Sir," the general rontral, "I'm willing to send you to California, but I'll be if I'll help you to get back ;igain."

A couple of days later, the steamer returned, and some seventy miserable- looking natives, each firmly bound Avith a strong rope, were marched off and turned over to the general, with a note from the president, which read: Dear General���I send you herewith seventy volunteers.

Curtis says: "James Gordon Bennett, of the NeAV York Herald, Avho spends a good deal of time in Venice, has a white gondola trimmed with gold, which he uses as a ���runabout Avhen he comes here, and creates a great sensation because all. the other gondolas are black. They look as if they were draped in mounring, the bodies being painted a dull black and the upholstering being black broadcloth, such as is used in coffins. This has been the rule since the fifteenth century, and was adopted in order that the citizens might escape the surveillance of the spies of the government, because one black gondola cannot be detected from another. Many of the private gondolas are handsomely upholstered, and the costumes of the gondoliers are picturesque. They handle tne awkward-look- ing boats with Ayonde*-ful" skill with a single oar, which, they use standing. They seldom lift it out of the water, and do not pull, but push, 'feathering' to return the blade. The movement looks very easy and simple to those who have uot tried it, but the person who has once attempted to navigate a gondola will not be apt to try it a second time. The accuracy with Avhich a gondolier can guide a boat Avithout a rudder is "marveloliis^for'they^pa-S^through^the crowded canals in an almost miraculous manner, Avithout disturbing the passengers or colliding Avith other boats, and are able to stop suddenly when going at a considerable speed. You hire a gondola in Venice just as you do a cab in any other city, the tariff being fixed by law.

Tho American minister heard of this, and upon c_a.mina.tion bought the entire lot. It contained soup tureons, tea, coffee and chocolate auts, plates f.nd platters, besides spoons and Knives and forks of all d-wnc tions, covering in short three hundred and thirty-eight pieces.

Much clamor and confusion has been done nwnv with at the Metropolitan opera house In Now York by the installation of an illuminated carriage call system, whicli sig- rals to waiting coachmen a half mile distant. The proper numbers are dashed from a conspicuous place commanding the si retches of pavement where the carriages, cabs and automobiles fcunerly crowded and .lammed the cros.-.ing.s after opera hours. Operators stationed at tho entrance .���ire given numbered checks, and, without the aid of the -nan with tho fog-horn voice, calling one's vehicle now is only a matter of switching a series of- levers, arranged somewhat like a typewriter board. The figures from 0 to 9 can be shown in the three largo apertures, so.that cai-riage calls may be numbered up in the hundreds and changed every few seconds. The principle of the device is something similar to the shifting advertising legends written in col- oi ed incandescent lights. This innovation does away with all shouting for carriages, and gives the coachman no excuse for delay or confusion, as lhey are able to read their numbers against the sky a half dozen blocks away. Poultney Bigelow says ho has sampled a large number of hotels in his time--even in Greece���but for barefaced dishonesty in making bills, the English landlord takes flrst place. "After charging twice what lnr- meals and rooms are worth, he takes on a further charge for service, another tor lights, another for bath, another for fire. In short, my experience of country inns in England���and I can speak with some authority���is that I pay as much a day at a shabbv little country inn in "England where" the food Is poor and ill cooued, tlio attendance inferior, and the bods poor, as I would at a good hotel ln Springfield, Massachusetts, or the very dest In f"wif7crUnd or Germany. Indeed, it must have struck tho average American that the inco sparable Baedeker hardly ever finds it possible to recommend an English hotel." Twenty-two Persons Drowned.

He was located by the Canadian police through the Bertillon system of identification. Miss Helen Gould to Build LITTLE ROCK, January 17.���Miss Helen Gould and party arrived here today. The new shops on the Iron Mountain were inspected and a location for a handsome Y. M. C. A. building for employees of the Iron Mountain system was chosen. The purpose of Miss Gould's trip -south is to inspect personally the needs of the workingmen of the Missouri Pacific railway, in the hope of aiding their condition by establishing suitable Y. M. C. A. departments, with appropriate buildings, at concentrating points for the exclusive use and benefit of the employees. Slie will go to Texas points from this city to look over the situation in the Lone Star State. ginning, and promises well for the future. Tho Munger mill, situate on the banks of the Klondyke, is of the two-stamp, steam hammer variety, equal, it is said, to five stamps of the old gravity system. The machinery i.s all enclosed from the weather, and no difficulty was encountered from the temperature. The pulp, after running over the necessary plates and concentrators, is discharged into a six-inch pipe which empties into the Klondyke below the level of the ice, and through a covered way which it is believed will prevent all stoppages from freezing. The rock ground up by tlie mill so far, is from claims on the hill at tbe head of Victoria gulch, the claims having been acquired by the Munger mill people themselves. The snow has made the hauling of the rock a comparatvely easy matter, and no scarcity of rock is anticipated this winter. The results of tbe mill run are not yet being given to the public. Since the Munger people are buyers of quart- claims, it is not to be expected that their books will ever be thrown open to the public. But that is the least of Dawson's troubles. What we are interested in is that the mill shall continue to run, and other and larger ones be installed next year. In so doubly practical a country as this, the fact that the mill continues to run is sufficient guarantee of its being operated at a profit, and the existence of a profit is again a guarantee that profitable rock lias been found and is being worked. The mill has been hammering away all this week, though some small improvements to be made have caused a number of short shut-downs. The mill people" have little to say of results, but as an indication as to which way the wind is blowing, it may be mentioned that while the Douglas Island people charge $75 per ton for a test mill run, lt is said that the Muncer peoplo havo offered to grind and wash the Victoria Hill quartz of independent mine owners for the half of what shall be taken out of the rock. Tho offer was not made for publication but is said to have been a genuine offer to a. possible producer. The starting up of the Munger mill was not accompanied by the blare of trumpets, yet is self-evidently the most important event in tho life of the Klondike since the discovery of its best streams. Quietly and unobtrusively the proprietors have gone to work and at their own expense are furnishing the community with a means of demonstrating to the skeptical world the value of tho several thousand quartz claims of the district, if such value exists. Their confidence in the quartz is demonstrated, not only by volumes of printed assertion, but by commencing to grind on quartz from their own ground, where their only possible returns must, be from the rock itself. No bill can be presented for collection. Defalcations of a Methodist Treasurer GALT, Ontario, January 17.���Thomas McGiverin, who was arrested in Buffalo on a charge of grand larceny, was treasurer of the Methodist church here. A discovery was made by the trustees some time ago that he was short in his accounts. Investigation showed a defalcation of several thousands, money received for reduction of mortgage indebtedness having been appropriated and covered up by forged vouchers. Fort Steele Boys en Route The Winnipeg Free Press of the 15th instant says: "Yesterday afternoon there passed through the city a squad of thirty new recruits en route to join tho Canadian Mounted Rifles at. Halifax. The men wero recruited by major Howe of the Northwest Mounted Police and will replace a number of the Canadian Mounted Rifles dismissed by colonel Evans as unsuitable. They wero unexpected in the city and only a few were at the station to meet them. Prom Port Steele was a party of sixteen, and as this thriving burg had not a very largo representation with the llrst trainload of the Canadian Mounted Rifles, they made ur> for it by being pretty nearly the "whole cheese," as they put it, with this crowd.
