Tbe captain and 13 were drowned.\nThis evening official confirmation of\nthe news, whicli came originally through\ntbe naval authorities at Esquimau, was\ngiven out by the C. P. H. authorities.\nThe company's statement follows: The\nHuang Ta), it is understood, is a gunboat of the second class. She served as\na dispatch boat at tbe battle of Yalu\nRiver and was one of the very few tbat\nescaped falling into the hands of the\nvictorious Japanese on that historic\noccasion.\n\"The R.M.S. Empress of India, 0. P.\nMarshall, R.N.R., commander, sailed\nfrom Vancouver on Monday, July 27th,\nand was running from Shanghai to Hong\nKong when the accident occurred. Early\nlast evening the liner came up with\nthe Chinese vessel, the two being on\nparallel courses for Hong Kong. The\nEmpress was naturally traveling much\nthe faster of the two. When tbe Chinese gunboat was off the Empress' starboard bow, the captain of the cruiser\nsuddenly starboarded bis helm and\nturning to port attempted to cross the\nbows of the liner.\nThe Empress Immediately reversed\nher engines, trying to avoid being\nrammed broadsides by the cruiser. The\nliner sheered off sufficiently to catch a\nglancing blow from the bows of the\ncruiser instead of receiving tbo direct\nImpact of tbe war vessel, which would\nprobably have cut her in two. The\ncruiser struck the Empress near the\nBtarboard side of the bridge, nnd In\nsliding aft carried away some of tbe\nupper works of the liner. As she drifted\nback, the steamer was still working her\nengines to stop, and still steering to\nBheer off from the warship. The result\nwaa that the starboard propeller of the\nEmpress smashed the side of the warship as the latter passed her stern.\nThe warship sank in 19 minutes later.\nEvery effort was made by tbe crew of\nthe liner to save the Chinese crew of\nthe cruiser, and 153 were taken off.\nThirteen were drowned, it is believed,\nand the captain is said to havo been\namongst the victims.\nThe Empress proceeded to her destination, where she arrived this morning,\nand will be dry docked as soon as possible.\"\nKAISER WANTS MORE SOLDIERS.\nBerlin, Aug. 18.\u2014There seems to he\nno doubt that the government, under the\n-impulse of the emperor, is determined\nto ask the retchstag for an Increase in\nthe permanent military establishment\nby about 39,000 men to be organized into\ntwo army corps, thus raising the standing army to about 647.000 officers and\nmen.

Turner, Waugh\nand Dr. Westwood.\nTho proceedings were breezy enough\nto be interesting, but were thoroughly\ngood humored, and the business of the\nevening was put through in a manner\nsatisfactory to everyone. Many of the\ndelegates favored a short, sharp campaign, and for that and other reasons\nadvocated that the actual nomination of\na candidate should be deferred for a\ntime. The Phoenix delegation, however,\nwas solid against this proposition, and\nwith the aid of Mr. Morrison, of Fife,\nsucceeded in convincing the convention\nthat tbe nomination should be made at\nonce, and a resolution to that effect\ncarried ia tho end without a dissenting\nvoice, 'it was agreed that tho first\nballot should be open, without nominations, and it was taken accordingly,\nwith tbe result that Nell McCallum was\nfound ta bo the choice of tbe convention, receiving 20 votes. On motion of\nDr. Westwood and T. J. Hardy, of\nGreenwood, both of whom had received\nsubstantial support on the ballot, though\nboth hid positively declined to consider nomination, the selection of Mr.\nMcCallum as the party candidate for the\nconstituency was made unanimous, by\na standing vote. Brief speeches were '\nmade hy delegates from all pints of the\nriding, expressing hearty concurrence in\nthe choice made, and assuring Mr. McCallum uf support and election, H is\nnot too much to say that the convention\nwas a unit, and the genuine enthusiasm shown not only by Mr. McCallum's\nfellow delegates from Grand Forks, but\nby the representatives of Fife. Cas- |\ncade and Phoenix, is the best possible\naugury of liberal success.\nAfter the nomination, ihe convention\ngot down to the work of united organization of tht constituency, and an association was formed for the filling, composed of one representative from Cascade, four from Phoenix, and six from\nGrand Forks] who met subsequently and\nelected W. H. P. Clement president and\nE. H. Mortimer secretary, Considerable\nother routine business was transacted,\nand matters of party interest were discussed. Strong resolutions were passed\nexpressing confidence in the liberal administration at Ottawa, and at 1,80\no'clock, after a six-hour session, the\nconvention broke up, with cheers for\nsir Wilfrid Laurier, the party, and the\ncandidate. The visiting delegates left\nfor home this morning, satisfied that\nthe convention had done good work, ami\nconfident of Mr. McCallum's election.\nThe candidate is an old timer in this\ndistrict, and Is well known throughout\nthe constituency.. He Is very largely\nInterested in mining and other proper-\ntics; and hns taken a prominent part\nIn public affniis. Ho wns for two years\nmayor of tbe city of Columbia, prior to\nits amalgamation with Grand Forks,\nnnd Is at present a leading member of\ntho Grand Forks city council. He hns\nmany friends among the conservatives,\nand will certainly poll the full strength\nof the liberals. It Is tbe openly ox-\npressed opinion of prominent men In\nall parties that tho liberals have mnde\na wise choice, and some, at least, of\nMr. McCallum's political opponents do\nnot hesitate to say that he will he tho\nfirst member for this constituency.\nBOSTON WANTS TO BE (1O0D.\nBoston, Mate., Aug. 18.\u2014Former representative Frederick C, Gllpalrlck, of Boston, appeared boforo governor Bates today nnd presonted a petition, bearing the\nIflignaturoB  of 2,000  citizens   asking  tbo\ngovernor to put a fltop tn pnol selling and\nother forma \u00ab( gambling at tbo race tracks.\nOF (MM\nHore Resolutions Passed at\nMontreal Conference\nUnity of the Empire is the\nLeading Feature\nMontreal, Aug. 18.\u2014At this morning's\nsession of the congress of the chambers\nof commerce of the empire, the resolution of the Orillia board of trade that\nit should be the aim of Imperial statesmen to endeavor to reach -an arrangement which would make it possible for\nBritish publications to compete on even\nterms with foreign papers, was adopted.\nThe resolution of the Montreal board\nof trade was also adopted. It was to the\neffect that freer Interchange between\nthe peoples of the empire, of newspapers and periodicals published therein,\nwould do much to strengthen imperial\nunity and that association of Ideas and\nalms upon which such unity must be\nbased; that such interchange would be-\nlargely promoted by a reduction of\npostal charges on such matter; that this\ncongress therefore prays his majesty's\ngovernment to reduce to the domestic\nrate the charge on newspapers and\nperiodicals published in tbe United\nKingdom and posted to the colonies;\nand this congress also urges those colonies which have not already done so, to\nmake a similar reduction in postal rates\non their publications.\nAnother resolution dealing with light\ndues as proposed hy the Cardiff chamber\nof congress was also adopted.\nA resolution urging his majesty's\ngovernment to resolutely maintain and\nextend our commercial treaty rights;\ntbat tbe consular service should be reorganized and strengthened, on lines,\ncalculated to make It more effective\nfor the promotion of the trade ot the\nBritish empire, was read by Joseph Walton, M. P., who argued that a most\ncriminal apathy existed In the minds\nof the British government in regard to\nthe extension of British trade with\nChina and Japan.\nHe said the British trade with China\nand Japan had declined, while the trade. .\nof tbe United States with these countries bail Increased. He also argued\nthat Canada had suffered because she\nhad given preferential treatment to British goods, which had resulted In Germany excluding Canadian goods, and yet\nBritain had done nothing.\n[The above report was all that the\nAssociated Press gave out last night,\nand repeated enquiries of Montreal\nfailed to obtain tbe balance of the story.\nTbe account given is merely part of the\nmorning session, and presumably the\ncongress met In tbe afternoon and\nevening but If it did no report of the\nfurther proceedings came west according to the Associated Press agents.\u2014\nEd.]\nCARIBOO   CONSOLIDATED.\nClean-up This Tear Was Only j-18,000 on\nAccount of Want of Water.\nVancouver, Aug.

If the\nbest returns from the new inrush are to\nbe obtained in this city, printers' ink\nshould be used judiciously to point out\nthe advantages of outfitting at tills point\nand a properly displayed advertisement\nin the local and Spokane press would\ngo a long way to bring business in here.\nNew arrivals here evjjy day .fjllBLently\ncome in late at nlght^tnd leai'gEor the\nnorth on the early steamer without any\nknowledge of the direct line to the Lardeau later in the Coy, and the fact\nthat they could obtain all necessary Information aiid^upplies In this city. The\nboard of trade should take the matter\nup at their next meeting.\nAN OUTSIDE OPINION.\nIt is sometimes well for our own good\nthat wo should heed the criticisms of\nothers upon matters which concern us\nmost, and though those criticisms need\nnot necessarily influence our opinions\nthey cannot but have at least some\neffect. It would be well therefore for\nsome of the opponents of the Grand\nTrunk Pacific railway scheme to read\nwhat outsiders think of the project.\nUnfortunately the political partisanship\nenters so largely Into every question\nthat even the greatest good of the\ncountry at large is not sufficient inducement to the average politician to sink\nthe little petty nothings that lead him\nto oppose a scheme or measure simply\nbecause it emanates from the \"other\nside.\"\nNo such pettiness, however, troubles\nthe Brooklyn Eagle, which discusses\nthe scheme with an impartial frankness that should be the emulation of\nmany members of the opposition. After\nsketching the origin and progress of the\nC. P, R., the Eagle says:\n\"A great wilderness has been opened\nup to settlement, hamlets became villages, villages grew into towns, and\ntowns developed into cities. What the\nfirst transcontinental road did for the\nlower sections of western Ontario,\nAssiniuola, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia the Grand Trunk line\nshould do for the northern portions of\nthese territories and for the fertile\nprairies of Saskatchewan. \"What the\nengineering difficulties may be we do\nnot know ,but they cannot certainly be\ngreater than those that confronted the\nengineers who pushed tho Canadian\nPacific so rapidly to completion. Tho\nCanadian government has profited\nlargely from Its investment ln the\nCanadian Pacific, although that investment was upwards of $100,000,000. It\nwill doubtless secure as great a return\nfrom the money that Is to be given to\nhelp the Grand Trunk people carry out\ntheir heavy undertaking. If we take\npopulation as a basis of comparison,\nCanada hns of late years gone ahead of\nthis country in the matter of railroad\ndevelopment.\"\nTho Eagle, continuing, estimates the\nresults of this line as so great that tho\nstates commercially will not only be a\nmatter of indifference to Canada, and\ninfers that she will not only never be a\nsuppliant for trade favors, but that the\nreverse may bo witnessed ns the domln-\nSunHght Soap will not injure\nyour blankets or harden them.

P.\nR. was completed, and yet only last year\nthe territory served by it, a territory\nwhich was described as a vast inhospitable desert, produced some 95,000,000\nbushels of wheat, 157,000,000 bushels of\noats and 35,000,000 bushels of barley.\nIt is the home of thousands of happy,\ncontented farmeds; it Is the granary of\nthe empire. The misgivings that were\nfelt and to which expression was then\nfreely given were then not unreasonable, but In the light of that experience\nit is not too much to say that the\nBrooklyn Eagle's estimate of the value\nof the new line is a correct and reasonable one.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nThe Tourist Association havo taUen\nprompt means to advertise the new Poplar creek goldflelds and the advantage of\nNelson as an outfitting point for the\nLardeau generally.

We have had the gentleman with us before, and know that\nmany good properties, since proved, in\nthe Lardeau, were at first turned down,\nby him and as practically no work has\nbeen done on the new discoveries, the expert's report on them should be received with caution. What is wanted, and\nwanted badly, is an official bulletin\nfrom Victoria based on the personal examination of the provincial mineralogist.

Last Friday a parly of 11 white\nmen working on the public road at\nBeaver creek, near Lamar, asked permission to eat a few melons In his patch.\nThey were told to help themselves. The\nmen began to cut and slash melons and\nvines. The negro warned them to stop\nand then went after his gun. Returning, he emptied his weapon Into tho\ncrowd, wounding nine out of the eleven,\nand then fled. A posse headed by the\nsheriff overtook the negro near a bridge\nover the Tamapoise river, five miles\nfrom Wodowe. He was ordered to surrender, but replied by firing his shotgun\nInstantly killing Thomns Ebert and\nRobert Ford, Sledge was accosted on\nthe road today by James Moore and\n\"Bud\" Wilson.

FIELDING'S PROPOSITION FOR\nGOVERNMENT AID.\nSCHEME   MEETS   WITH   CORDIAL\nAPPROVAL.\nThe debate I\" tlio house at Ottawa on\nthe grant tor a Canadian news service\ndisclosed the fact that tho move met\nwith the strong approval ot both liberals aad conservatives. The telegraphic\naccount already published has given an\nIdea ot the scheme, which is now supplemented by a brief   account of the\ndebate as it appeared in the Toronto\nNews:\nMr. Fielding moved his resolution to\nassist In tho establishment of nn \"Independent and efficient service of telegraphic news\" to Great Britain for publication la tho Canadian press. He said\nthat the manner in which the Canadian\npress was served with cable aews from\nEurope, received by way of the United\nStates and colored hy American correspondents, to suit tho communities they\nserved, was eminently unsatisfactory.\nThere were not many Canadian papers\nendowed with the wealth necessary to\nget special cable reports. He had conferred with representatives of the press\nand they had assured him that they were\nprepared to form aa orgaulaztlon to give\nSchlitz Means\nThe best materials \u2014the best that money can buy.\nA brewery as clean as your kitchen; the utensils as clean.\nThe cooling done in filtered air, in a plate glass room.\nThe beer aged for months, until thoroughly fermented, so\nit will not cause biliousness.\nThe beer filtered, then sterilized in the bottle.\nYou're always welcome to the brewery for the owners are\nproud of it.

The\namount provided was $15,000 for each |\nof the first three years, ?10,000 for the\nfourth, and ?5,000 for the fifth. \"We\nassume the press would develop its\nstrength, and that in the course of a\nfew years they would get enough subscribers among the proprietors of Canadian newspapers to carry on the system\nwithout any further assistance from\nthe government.\" Tho government\nwould not exercise any jurisdiction in\nthe maintenance of the service. Of\ncourse, newspapers in large cities would\nhave to pay more for the service than\nthose in the smaller places. They\nwould leave to the gentlemen of ths\npress the work of carrying out the details. But it was conditional that the\nservice should he open to every newspaper in Canada, on fair and equal\nterms, and if not so they would not be\nentitled to the money.\nMr. Borden heartily endorsed the proposition. He was satisfied that Canadians had not received fair play in the\npast as to cable news, and on the other\nhand, the people of England had not\nheen properly provided with Canadian\nnews. If it was possible to assure the\npress of Canada fair and accurate reports of events in the mother country,\ngood service would be done. While in\nEngland some time ago he had been\nmuch disappointed himself with the\ndearth of Canadian news in English\nnewspapers. In many of them not a\nword appeared from Cannda, and If this\nservice would improve this condition it\nwas worthy of commendation.\nMr. Tarte was in favor of the\" scheme.\nMr. Fielding wished the scheme was\nas comprehensive as Mr. Borden had\nsuggested, and that it would provide\nEnglish newspapers with Canadian\nnews, as well as Canadian papers with\nnews from the mother country. If they\ncould do anything to induce English\npapers to give more attention to Canadian affairs it would he to the decided\nadvantnge of Canada.\nMr. Sproiile\u2014Will the Canadian service he independent of American lines?\nMr. Fielding\u2014Yes.\nMr. Sprotile\u2014What will he the cost\nper word, nnd what will he the likely\nnumber of words per year?\nMr. Fielding\u2014Whnt we mean is that\nthere will be a Canadian correspondent\nin London, who will give us a Canadian\ncable.

It woald be hard to judge\nthat from the dispatches as they would\nappear in the papers, as the journalists\ngenerally received the skeleton and filled\nit out in readable form.\nMr. Holmes gave the scheme his support, as did Mr. Marcil, who, speaking\nas a newspaper man, said he hoped that\nthe goverament would not overlook the\nimportance of having a braach of this\nservice established In Paris, as that city\nwas the central meeting place of the\ncontinent.\nMr. Fielding had no doubt that the\nnew service would have a reliable connection at Paris for French and continental news.\nThe resolution was adopted and the\nbill based upon It was read a first time.\nVERY REMARKABLE CURE OF\nDIARRHOEA.\n\"Abont six years ago for the flrst tlmo\nIn my life I had a sudden and severe attack of diarrhoea,\" nays Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. \"I got temporary\nrelief, but It came back again and again,\nnnd for six long yenrs I have suffered\nmore misery and agony than I can tell, it\nwas worse than death.

There is a mill and extensive\nbuildings on tho ground, over $100,000\nhaving been spent ln opening the property up.

O. C. The\nInspection took place at the tramway\npary at 4.30 p. m., and there was a large\nattendance of spectators, mostly ladies.\nThe condition of uniforms and arms\nwas satisfactory, hut the drill was\nhardly up to the standard, the mnrcii\npast being rather ragged, and the officer\nand men were not thoroughly familiar\nwith compnny movements.\nTho skirmishing work done at tlio\nranges was better, ball cartridge was\nused and a fair average of marksmanship shown. On tbe whole the work of\nthe corps was all that could be expected under the present unfavorable conditions.\nSpeaking to The Daily News after the\nInspection, lieutenant-colonel Holmes\nsaid: \"I am very much disappointed\nthat the drill hall has not yet been\nturned over to the militia department.\nThe possession of such a home would\nbe a great factor in improving the state\nof the service here, and I trust that it\nwill soon be done.\"\nTHE  CARIHOO  COUNTRY.\nWant of Water Severely Felt.\u2014Cariboo\nCompanies Compelled to Close.\nJames Wattie, of Valleyfleld, Quebec,\nwho has been visiting his son, Kenneth\nWattie ,for the last two days, leaves\nthis morning for the coast. Mr. Wattie\nwas one of tho pioneers in the Cariboo\ncountry, having gone in there ln the\nearly sixties, and ho is now returning\nafter paying a second visit to Barker-\nvllle and other camps of the district. Ho\nstated that the present season was proving a bad one owing to tiie shortness of\nwater experienced everywhere, it being\na record dry summer all through Cariboo.\nThe Cariboo Hydraulic and other\nlarge companies closed down on August\n1st, as they could not obtain enough\nwater to work with, and this means a\nsuspension of operations till next\nspring. This is the more unfortunate\nas the properties were never looking\nbetter than they arc at present, the\nworkings now being Into good paying\ngravel, and everything In shape for a\nprofitable run. Mr. Wattle was somewhat disappointed with the litlle apparent progress that had heen made In that\ndistrict since the sixties, considering the\nrichness of the deposits there. The\nlack of communication with the outside\nworld has of course been largely responsible for this, and the long period that\nhas elapsed without any of tho earlier\npromises of steam transportation being\nmado good has tended to make the rrsl-\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\n3\nWE COVER\nTHE COUNTRY\nEwert\nBros.\nWo are meeting with a degree of success In our Diamond Department whicli fs\ntruly gratifying.\nWe offer the trnde values, opportunities\nand prices of which every customer\nshould by ail moans tako ndvantngo.\nThe mngnitude of our operations nnd\ntho wide field wo cover mako price advantages possible.\nDo not fail lo consult with us before\npurchasing.\nWe ofTor everything ln Diamonds and\nmake a specialty of tho latest stylo set-\ntin gs,\n.fowolors and Engravers\nNclson-Rossland-Trail\nT.

This summer there were only\n50 working days, through lack of water,\nand as part of these were consumed in\npreparations, but little was done. Next\nyenr if there Is even an average amount\nof water available ,the properties can\nbe worked to their full extent all season\nand big returns will be made.\nGreat   bargains   In   blouses   and   white-\nwear at the Hudson's Bay.\n%\nis\nis\niu\nis\nHi\niii\nib\nib\nib\n\\b\nib\nib\n,  iff\nI Patenaude Bros., opticians 1\nH\u00a36e.C.*:.fsSS.f\u00abft \u2022 m333333&33**\nIt is a great satisfaction to\nenjoy good eyesight, and also\na great affliction not to be\nable to enjoy the beauties of\nnature on account of defective vision.\nThe greater majority can be\nfitted with glasses that will\nenable them lo enjoy sight\nseeing once more.\nj&ffiS\nPoplar Creek!
