The\nindependence and Integrity of Korea as\na fully independent empire has been\nfully recognized by all the powers and\nthe inviolability of this fundamental\nprinciple was confirmed by article 1 ot\nthe Shlmonosekl treaty and hy the\nagreement specially concluded for this\npurpose between Japan and Great Britain on January 30th, 1902, as well as by\nthe Franco-Russian declaration of\nMarch 16th, 1902. The emperor of Korea,\nforeseeing the danger of a possible conflict between Russia and Japan, addressed early ln January, 1904, a note to all\nthe powers declaring his determination\nto preserve the strictest neutrality.\nThis declaration was received with satisfaction by the powers and was ratified\nby Russia. According to the Russian\nminister to Korea, the British government charged the British diplomatic\nrepresentative at Seoul to present an\nofficial note to the emperor of Korea,\nthanking him for his declaration of\nneutrality. In disregard of ail these\nfacts, ln spite of all treaties, In spite of\nlis obligation, and in violation of tbe\nfundamental rules of international laws,\nit has been proved by exact and fully\nconfirmed facts that the Japanese government\n\"(1.) Before the opening of hostilities\nagainst Russia, landed its troops in the\nindependent province of Korea, which\nhad declared its neutrality;\n\"(2.) With a division of its fleet, it\nmade a sudden attack on February 8th,\nthat is, three days prior to the declaration of war, on two Russian warships\nin the neutral port of Chemulpo. The\ncommanders of these ships had not been\nnotified of the severance of diplomatic\nrelations as tho Japanese maliciously\nstopped the delivery of Russian telegrams by the Danish cable, and destroyed the telegraphic communication of the\nKorean government. The details of this\ndastardly attack are contained and published in an official telegram from the\nRussian minister at Seoul.\n\"(3.) In spite of the international\nlaws abovo mentioned, and shortly before the opening of hostilities, the Japanese captured as prizes of war certain\nRussian merchant ships ln neutral ports\nof Korea.\n\"(4.) Japan declared to tho emperor of\nKorea, through the Japanese minister\nat Seoul, that Korea would henceforth\nbe under Japanese administration, and\nshe warned tho emperor in caso of his\nnon-compliance Japanese troops would\noccupy the place.\n\"(5.) Through the French minister nt\nSeoul, she summoned the Russian representative at the Korean court to leave\nthe country with the staffB of tho Russian legation and consulate.\n\"Recognizing all the above facts substitute a flagrant broach of International\nlnw, tho imperial government considers\nIt to be Its duty to lodge-protest with\nall tho powers against this procedure of\nthe Japanese government, and lt Is\nfirmly convinced that all the powers\nvaluing the principles which guarantee\ntheir relations, will agree with tho Russian attitude. At the same time the\nImperial government considers it necessary to Issue a timely warning tbat\nowing to Japan's illegal assumption ot\npower ln Korea, tho government declares\nall declarations which may be Issued on\nthe part of the Korean government to bo\nInvalid.

No intention exists\niu official circles to take up the Russian note on the subject with the view\nof pressing action by the powers, and it\nIs said that nothing effective could be\ndone in this direction.\nAttention is called to the occupation\nof Korea by Japanese troops in spite of\nthe declaration of Korean neutrality. It\nis suggested in diplomatic circles that\nFrance, which has been- charged with\nthe protection of Russian interests in\nKorea, should properly make objection\nto tho Japanese action. But nothing of\nthis kind has been done.\nAt the Korean legation here today lt\nwas said that Korea had declared her\nneutrality from the outset and that\ntherefore if the Japanese occupied Korean territory and proposed marching\nthrough Korea on their way to Manchuria lt was not with Korea's consent\nbut bocause she was unable to prevent\nIt. The legation officials added that the\n50,000 stands of arms recently ordered by\nKorea still remains in France.\nNothing is known at the French foreign offico regarding the report that the\nRussian ambassador to Great Britain\nhad gono to St. Petersburg with important proposals from king Edward in the\ndirection of peace.\nSo far as Russia is concerned it is\nsaid that she would be willing to accept\novertures on a reasonable basis, but lt\nIs believed that Japan, having engaged\nin the war, will not withdraw until she\nhas conquered.\nConcerning the dispatch ot French\nnaval and military reinforcements to\nIndo-Chlna lt Is announced authoritatively that the' steps taken 'are simply\nIn accordance with the program adopted\ntwo years ago.\nTALK IS CHEAP.\nRussian Authority Says Japan Will Be\nDriven Into the Sea.\nSt. Petersburg, Feb. 23.\u2014\"The war\nwill end In August or Septembor In the\ncomplete defeat ot the Japanese,\" was\nsaid to the Associated Press today by\na high authority ln Intimate touch with\nIho Russian war plans, whose opinion\ncan bo taken faithfully to reflect the\nbelief In tho highest official quarters. He\nadded, \"How the Japanese hope to succeed when our army in the east is\nstrengthened to a point equal or superior in number to that of our adversaries\nwo aro honestly unable to comprehend.\nIt will not be difficult to place two, four\nor oven six hundred thousand additional\nmen in the field if necessary. When\nour forces nro concentrated and ready\nthey will finish by driving the Japanese\ninto the sea. Frankly it seems to us\nthat tho Japanese either have utterly\nfailed to appreciate Russia's resources\nor have counted on tho aid of Great Britain or the United States, neither of\nwhich ever contemplated becoming Involved. So far as Great Britain Is concerned we do not believe any hallucinations existed there. We think the British statesmen, who did bo much to\npush Japan Into war, realized that with\nJapan's defeat they would accomplish\ntwo things for Groat Britain. First\u2014To\ngive Russia a check. Of course the war\nmust impede our progress temporarily.\nSecond\u2014To crlpplo Jnpan's maritime\npower, which was beginning to be\ngreatly felt on tho Pacific coast. It can\nbe said With tho utmost positiveness\nthat Russia will bide her time. Sho\nwill act on tho defensive until she is\nconfident her weight ot numbers will\nlcavo no doubt as to the result. Reinforcements are going forward at the\nrato of 3,000 per day. Probably some\ntime will pass beforo Russia feels pro-\npared to assume the offensive.\"\nWAR THE ONLY POLITICS.\nToklo, Fob. 23.\u2014Tho plan arranged\nfor tho emperor and imperial head-\nquarters to move to Kyoto has beon\ntemporarily abandoned, and it Is now\nthought bettor not to remove until aftor\ntlio closing of tho special session of the\ndiet early In April.

Hardy A Co., Advertising luid\nPress Agents, 20 Fleet Street, London, E.C.,\nEngland.\nA QUESTIONABLE   FLOTATION.\nIt Is practically a foregone conclusion\nthat there will be a big rush into the\nLardeau district tbia spring. The probabilities are that a great deal of money\nwill he Invested ln promising mineral\nclaims In that district. From all that\ncan be learned no metalliferous field in\nNorth America offers better inducements for legitimate mining undertakings than the Lardeau.\nThis being the case lt Is all important that anything of a wild cat nature\nshould bo quickly exposed and all attempts to mislead tho Investing public\npromptly frowned down.\nThe Daily News has been favored\nwith a copy of a prospectus of \"Tho\nLucky Jack Mining Company, of Seattle,\ncapital stock 11,500,000, Incorporated\nunder the laws of the state of Washington.\"\nWith tho exception of a Mr. Harry\n.Mcintosh, of Rossland, the board of\ndirectors is composed exclusively of\nSenile men.\nNow Ewtlc money will be very welcome In the development of tbe Lardeau\ndistrict. We want to gee a lot of It go\nInto that Boction, and we believe that\ngood investments can be found for a\nvery large sum. But we do not want\nto sat th* pseple of Seattle, or any other\ncommunity on the American continent,\nput their money Into mining ventures\nof an extremely doubtful nature, at least\nnot without a clear knowledge of what\nthey are about Long shots sometimes\nprove winners and may be Seattle investors are willing to take unusual risks\nIn their mining speculations.\nTho prospectus of tho Lucky Jack\nMining Company states that the company own \"the Lucky Jack No. 2, Riverside, Lake Shore and Michigan mineral\nclaims, all duly located in the Poplar\ncreek camp, west Kootenay district, British Columbia, consltlng of 200 acres of\nmineral land.\"\nTho prospectus continues: \"Lucky\nJack No. 2 adjoins the famous 'Lucky\nJack' on tbe north and all concede tbat\nIt has tho extension of the rich 'Lucky\nJack' vein, which has already yielded\na fortune. . . On the surface of the\nclaim, rich float and vory promising\nquartz ledges have been discovered, and\nespecially ln the railroad cut, crossing\ntho Lucky Jack No. 2, rich quartz showing free gold Is everywhere in evidence.\"\nIt is quite patent that the idea of this\nprospectus Is to soil Btock on tbe good\nname of the original Lucky Jack. This\nmay be permlssable, so long as Investors\nclearly understand that Lucky Jack No.\n2 is not the original claim of that name.\nThe statement that \"all concedo tbat lt\nhas the extension of tho rich 'Lucky\nJack' vein\" might pass if some definite\ninformation concerning the \"all\" wero\ngiven. As a matter of fact no work\nhas been done on the Lucky Jack No. 2,\nNo ono knows whether or not there is\na quartz vein on It. But the worst feature of tho whole huslncsB Is tho fact\nthat thero Is grave doubt as to whether\nor not tho promoters of the Lucky Jack\nMining Company have any tltlo to the\nmineral lands thoy aro asking Seattle\npeople to Invest In. As will bo seen\nby statements In another column tho\nallegation Ib made that prior records\nhave been mado on these lands, and In\ntho event of those records being sustained the Lucky Jack Mining Company\nwill own no Lucky Jack No, 2 at all.\nAnother quotation from this prospectus will pretty clearly show tho questionable nflturo of the undertaking.\nThis gem reads:\n\"If you wish to make money and\nmake it quick, with but very little Inverted, BUY THIS STOCK.   Buy lt now\nThe Sunlight way of washing requires little or no\nrubbing.    You   should  try\nunlight  Soap.\nWill not injure\ndainty fabrics.\nJilOUlU\nt\nwhile it ia cheap. In another few\nmonths you will have made a handsome\nprofit on your investment. You cannot\nlose. This Is a legitimate mining Investment.\"\nAs was above stated, there are\nsplendid openings for Investment ln the\nLardeau district. Undoubtedly the\nPoplar creek section possesses remarkably rich quartz ledges. There will be\na big rush there in the spring and in all\nlikelihood a lot of gold will be taken\nout. Seattle investors could probably\nfind no better field in which to utilize\nspare capital, but they will do well to\nexamine into the situation carefully\nbefore purchasing heavily of the stock\nof the Lucky Jack Mining Company.\nFOULING ITS OWN NEST.\nThe Ymir Mirror claims that lt has\nbeen placed under a boycott by the\nYmir Miners' Union, and that as a consequence the business men of that town\nhave withdrawn their advertisements\nfrom the paper.\nThere may or may not be something\nIn this. The squabbles of the Mirror\nand the Ymir Miners' Union are no concern of ours and we do not propose to\ninterfere ln any way between the disputants. But the Mirror ln its wrath\nagainst the union declares that Ymir is\na place to be avoided like a plague, that\nIt is in the grasp of a band of demagogues who are making life Intolerable.\nThis is a very silly statement and will\ndo no harm where the people and town\nof Ymir aro known. Unfortunately\nstatements of this kind have a habit of\ntravelling far afield and quite erroneous impressions might be formed by\ntho outside world regarding the town\nand district of Ymir.\nIt can fairly be said that there is no\nmore prosperous, peaceable, law abiding\ncommunity ln Canada than Is to be\nfound within the limits of the town of\nYmir. This town is the centre of a rich\nmining district. It promises to grow\nrapidly ln commercial Importance and\nIts business men are as up-to-date and\nenterprising as any ln British Columbia, i    |i\nThere Is an excellent hospital there,\nand it Is ln connection with that institution that the Mirror has fallen foul of\nthe miners' union. So far as we know\nthere is really nothing for the Mirror to\nworry about in connection with the hospital. The allegation is made that the\nunion will not properly account for the\nfinances. Our Information Is that the\nunion has been financing the hospital\nfor some time post, that lt Is the principal contributor to its funds and that\nat any time Its books have been open\nto those concerned for Inspection so for\nas hospital finances are concerned.\nMoreover at the solicitation of the union\nthe government auditor has been requested to audit their books and make\nhis findings public. However, tbe\nMirror may have a real grievance\nagainst the union, it may feel that\nproper publicity has not been given the\nfinances of tbe hospital and in that event\nIt Is fully Justified in frankly expressing its disapproval. But to herald to\ntho world that the town is a plague\nspot, controlled by demagogues, Is worse\nthan silly. Ymir is all right. It la a\ngood town, and the Mirror, when lt gets\nover the soreness occasioned by Its tiff\nwith tho union, will be the first to acknowledge the fact.\nRESUMPTION OF DIVIDENDS.\n^iMMlvi^MWWl.'il\/ ii) \\m\\mmLt\\b\\Li\\livbiMli;\nI    Kitchen Requisites    I\nA number of tho mines of this section\nare beginning the very welcome practice\nof paying dividends. In some instances\nIt Is old companies resuming the habit\nand ln others it Is new ones which are\nmaking a start. It was announced a short\ntlmo since that the Granby Consolidated, tho largest mining and smelting\nenterprise in the province, would hereafter pay regular dividends. This company had been mining for several years,\nopening up Its property and securing\nofflcicnt and expensive mining and reduction plants, and for a time during\nwhich the metals were low in price Its\nsuccess was thought by some to be problematical, and the announcement that it\nwas paying was, therefore, warmly welcomed.\nFollowing on the heels of the recent\nannouncement of the profits made by\nthe Centre Star comes the news now\nthat the Le Rol will soon be tn a position to resume the payment of dividends. The Le Rol, which has paid\n51,306,000 In dividends and ln this respect\nlias a better record than any other gold-\ncopper mlno tn the province, is now\nmaking profits at the rate of (50,000 a\nmonth and will toon pay regular dirt-\nKitchen Requisites\nFlour, Bread, Cake, Tea and Coffee Tins\nA well appointed kitchen Ib the good housowlfo's pride.

This great mine has distributed $1,438,000 ot its profits among its\nstockholders which places It at the head\nof all the mines that have mado dividends ln British Columbia.\nThe announcement made on Monday that the Le Rol No. 2 had made\nlarge profits last year and that it was\nabout to pay Its shareholders a shilling\non each share Is more good news along\nthe samo line.\nThen, too, there Is the Sunset, which\ndistributed Its tenth dividend among its\nlucky owners last week, consisting of\n$6,000. This company has distributed\nso far $60,000 in profits among its\nowners and has large reserves of high-\ngrade ore ln sight and it is said has\nthe capacity to pay many more dividends. \u2022'\nOther mines might be mentioned,\nsuch as the Providence, which paid a\ndividend of 10 cents a share last November, the Rambler-Cariboo, which has\npaid $200,000 to the owners of Its shares\nand Is getting on Its feet again, and\nother mines.\nAll of which goes to show that the\nmining Industry is getting Its second\nwind, has accommodated Itself to the\nchanged conditions, and is perhaps In a\nbetter state than ever, which promises\nto make 1904 the banner year for aggregate production. The Boundary will\noutput close to 1,000,000 tons, Rossland\nabout halt as much, while the Slocan\nand east Kootenay' will, under the Influence of the lead bounty and tbe ex-\nloltatlon of the zinc deposits, show a\nmarked Increase ln production over last\nyear.

Men are as sentimental as\nwomen. They think they must have a certain brand because\u2014well, because they do.\nOfttlmes they can't tell tho difference between old whiskey and new and still they\ninsist on their brand.\nIn tho matter of \"owning your own\nhomo\" a good healthy sentiment dominates many minds.\nWhen a man buys a thing for its business usefulness, or to sell again, ho may\nwith good grace affirm \"that there Is no\nsentiment In business,\" but when it comes\nto personal matters sentiment Is a great\nbig factor.\nInstances might bo multiplied indefinitely\nto provo the fact, but let us assume it to\nbe true. How does It affect advertising?\nFirst, by educating the public that certain brands of goods nro tho proper, the\naccepted kind. This must bo dono by suggestion rather than by direct nfflrmatlon,\nThat subtle influence must be present which\nproduces a mental deslro and lively appreciation for tho article advertised, Tho\nwriter who can most vividly picture the\nlittle personal features of goods, their\nbeauty, the good standing they will produce for their possessor, their excluslvc-\nness, their distinction from common wares\nhas learned a lesson that hns business\nvaluo. Telling how Ion gan article will\nlast, how strong it Is nnd how well It Is\nput together Is all right, but nil these\nare points of a material nature. While\ngiving attention to this side, don't overlook the personal side\u2014the pride side.\nTho problem of human nature Is tho\ngreatest one. Many people can give accurate descriptions, but bold-faced facts\nseldom produco deside. Bear ln mind that\nyour customer won't admit that ho is Influenced by sontlment. Let him delude\n\"himself if he wants to, but do proceed\nupon tho theory thnt almost nil men. and\nall women nro sentimental nnd govern your\nadvertising speech accordingly.\nMake peoplo underntnnd that your goods\ncarry dignity with them\u2014stand tag.

This is disputed by J. G. Devlin,\nH. P. Gibson and James Grant. Tbe\nprospectus of the Lucky Jack Mining Co.\nstates tbat the Lucky Jack No. 2 ad-\nJoins tbe Lucky Jack on the north, and\nit la alleged by the Lucky Jack Mining\nCo. that they have the Lucky Jack vein,\nand that there are ledges on the property with tree gold showings everywhere. It is also alleged ln the prospectus ot tbe Lucky Jack Mining Co.\nthat it owns tbe Riverside mineral\nclaim. The ownership ot both these\nclaims is disputed by Messrs. Devlin,\nGTan|t and Gibson. Mr. Devlin was\nBeen yesterday and made the following\nstatement in relation to the Lucky Jack\nNo. 2:\n\"I staked the Glasgow Fraction on\nthe 18th day ot July, and recorded lt on\nthe 30th of July.\"\nIn proof of this Mr. Devlin exhibited\na receipt from P. C. Campbell, mining\nrecorder, at Trout Lake, which bore out\nhis statement.\nContinuing, Mr. Devlin said: \"Tbe\nGlasgow Fraction claims all of the\nvacant ground lying north of the Lucky\nJack for a distance of 1,400 feet. The\nreason why a full claim was not staked\nwas that the Early Bird, still further\nnorth, had already been staked by me\nand there was only about 1,400 feet ot\nground vacant,\n\"There are no quartz ledges showing\nfree gold on the Glasgow Fraction, it\nis situated on tbe river bottom and there\nis a depth of from 60 to 75 feet of wash,\ngravel and boulders on lt. A shaft was\nsunk on the Glasgow Fraction to' a\ndepth of 35 feet and bedrock was not\nreached. The Glasgow Fraction Is the\nground which the Lucky Jack company\nclaims It owns under the name of the\nLucky Jack No, 2. I wish to state that\nI had this ground staked and recorded\nthreo weeka before John Y. Cole, who\nsubsequently staked the Lucky Jack No.\n2, came to Poplar creek. Mr. Cole arrived ln tbe camp at least three weeks\naftor I bad staked and recorded tbe\nGlasgow Fraction.\n\"I told John Y. Cole and so did others\nin tho camp that ho was on my ground.\nMr. Colo said ho waavery sorry, but he\ndid not know lt was located, but that\nhe would not record lt.\n\"So far as the Lucky Jack No. 3 lt\nconcerned ho has not a single toot of\nground, as lt Is all covered by my previous location of the Glasgow Frastlon,\nThe Glasgow Fraction wbb surveyed for\nme and my associates by P. Cummins,\nP. L. S. I also had a survey made of\ntho Early Bird, which abuts tbe Lucky\nJack No. 2 on the north sldo of tbo Lardeau river. Thero are no open cuts on\nthe railway track as stated ln tbe prospectus ot ths Lucky Jack Mining Co.\"\nJuua Oraat made the following\n\u2022CMtnent:    \"I ItaKe* lba Creek LtTtl\nmineral claim on July 13th and tbe Riverside on the 25th of July. Since then\nI bad tbe Creek Level claim surveyed\nln July by Mr. McKay, P.L.S., of Kaalo.\nIt Joins the Glasgow Fraction on tho\nnortheast. The Creek Level claim takes\nln nearly all of tbe Riverside claim.\nThis la one of tbe properties advertised\nln tbe prospectus ot the Lucky Jack\nMining Co. as belonging to lt. As I\nunderstand lt, tbe Lucky Jack Co. own\nonly a small fraction of ground.on tbo\nnorth side of tbe river, consisting of\nperhaps five acres.\n\"Any one Interested in the matter can\nverify all that either myself or Mr.\nDevlin, have said by sending to the\nmining' recorder at Trout Lake, wbo\nkeeps a copy of all recorda. By doing\nthis they can easily be convinced that\nour filings on these claims are prior\nlocations, and that the title to these properties are vested in us and not in tbe\nLucky Jack company, with the exception of the fraction of a few acres that\nI bave spoken of.\"\nMr. Devlin then said: \"My only\nobject ln making this matter public Is to\nprotect my interests. Besides I feel that\nI cannot atand Idly by and see people\npurchasing property from others which\nactually belongs to me. What I want\nla to see justice done, without any desire\nto harm anyone. Then, too, there Is a\npublic good to be subserved, oa tbe\npublicity given this matter will perhaps prevent Poplar creek from getting\na black eye.\"\nMr. Grant, who was standing by, said\nthat he endorsed everything that Mr.\nDevlin had said.\nIt la claimed, too, that tbe Lucky Jack\nMining Co. has no right to the name\nadopted. The Lucky Jack and the Lucky\nJack groups are owned by the Great\nNorthern Mines, Limited.\nVICEROY OF M FAR EAST\nSKETCH OP ADMIRAL ALEXIEFF,\nTHE MAN OF THB HOUR.\nA TOOL OF THE WAR PARTY AT\nST. PETERSBURG.\nAdmiral Alexleff is the subject of an\ninteresting article In tbe London World:\nWhen flrst the news reached Moscow\ntbat admiral Alexleff waa appointed\nviceroy ln tbe far eaat, there was much\nshrugging of Bhoulders, and many significant glances were exchanged. \"But\nwho Is this Alexieff, and what has he\ndone?\" men asked one another. They\nspoke ln whispers, of course, for it is\nthe fashion in that part of the world\nalways to speak In whispers when matters political are under discussion.\n\"What will the czar do next?\" waa alao\na question they asked one another that\nday, And with a keen anxiety that told\nits own tale. Evidently the faith of his\nmajesty's subjects in his statesmanship\nis none too great, however devoted to\nhim personally they may be. Such of\nthem, Indeed, as are business men, financiers, and the like, have no faith at\nall ln him, lt seems; for among them his\nappointment of admiral Alexleff as viceroy was, at the time it was made, not\nonly criticized, but openly attacked as\nno appointment made by a czar was,\nperhaps, ever attacked before. . . Up\nto tho time' when the present crlBls\nbegan, probably not one Russian in\n10,000 had ever heard admiral Alexleff's\nname. In military and naval circle be\nwaa knows, of course, but only just aa\nacores of other men were known; for\nhe had made no special mark In tbe\nworld, and no one then dreamed that\nhe ever would. He had been promoted\nagain and again, lt is true, but only\nstep by step, In the ordinary way, which\ndepends on length of service, not on\nmerit. Among his brother officers he\nwas popular, among bis marines too;\nwhile among his superiors he was held\nln esteem as a man who could be relied\nupon In all circumstances to execute\norders. He bad already at that time\nseen a considerable amount of service,\nand bad bad bis share of hard fighting,\ngiving proof the while of personal\nbravery. Still, there was nothing to indicate then that he was of the stuff\nof which men are made aa a rule, who\nplay a great role in the world. Besides,\nhe had neither wealth nor influence at\nhis back, a fact, that, of course, told\nconsiderably against his chance of ever\nscoring a signal success; for although he\nbelongs hy birth to the noble class, lt\nis only to the petite noblesse, which Ib\nnot of much account now ln Russia.\nThe admiral Is a clever man, however, although he is certainly no genius;\nhe has keen eyes, a clear head, and\nconsiderable skill in the management\nof his fellows, especially such of them\nas hall from the east. He knows to a\nnicety exactly how to deal with the\nhalf civilized; how to combine threats\nand cajolery, when to use flattery, and\nwhen to use brute force. He Is haunted\nby no untimely scruples in bis dealing\nwith them, a fact that not only Increases\nIlls prestige among 'them, but gives\nhim a certain advantage over moat westerners. In his eyes, whether there are\na few thousand more or less yellow folk\nin the world Is a matter of no importance whatever. Were he told to put\na whole eastern province to the sword\nhe would do so without a moment's\nhesitation. Not that he is cruel; on the\ncontrary, he is by nature humane rather\nthan otherwise; only, for one thing, he\nlooks on yellow folk as beyond the pale,\nand, for another, he holds strongly that\nit is not for him to question tbe orders\nhe receives. For, strangely enough,\nconsidering his preBent position, admiral\nAlexleff's most marked characteristic is\nbis lnstictive obedience to hla superiors.\nNo mediaeval monk was ever more\natrongly Imbued with the conviction tbat\nhe must do exactly what he was told to\ndo than la .this twentieth century viceroy. And this conviction Is a valuable\ngift for one who wishes to make his\nway ln the world 1n latter day Russia;\nespecially when, as ln tbe admiral's\ncase, it is combined \"With another gift-\nthat of Interpreting the orders of his\nsuperiors precisely as they wish them to\nbe Interpreted. \"You need have no fear\nof Alexieff,\" a Russian who knows him\nand his ways well exclaimed, when some\nof hit fellow countrymen were rending\ntha lisav.M wltb their cries at the Iniquity of making Ha   Tteeroy;  \"the\n^i)^^^^^)'-^^)^)*^^^^^^)^!)^^^^^ \u2022\nTHE DAILY NEWS\nHas complete facilities\nfor the execution of high\nclass book, job, and newspaper printing.\n*?\nMagazines, catalogues\nand commercial work.\nRuling of every description a specialty.\nBook Binding\nWE OAK RULE, PRINT AND BIND\nANY KIND OF\nHOTEL REGISTERS\nBLANK BOOKS\nCITY ASSESSMENT\nAND TAX ROLLS\nWE CAN BIND IN REGULATION\nSTYLE.\nLAW JOURNALS\nAND REPORTS\nWE MAKE A SPECIALTY OF PUTTING\nUP IN NEAT, STRONG AND\nINEXPENSIVE COVERS\nMUSIC\nMAGAZINES\nTRADE JOURNALS\nPAPERS AND\nBOOKS\nWe Guarantee First-Class Work\nln Every Department\nPHONE\n144\nTHE DAILY NEWS\nNELAON\nB.O.\npeople you have to fear are those who\ngive htm his orders.\"\nIt was the Chi no-Japanese war that\ngave Alexleff his chance. He was military attache at Toklo when It broke out,\nand he already knew more ahout Japan\nand her resources than perhaps any\nother European; for he is a hard worker\nand he had for years before been interesting himself in eastern affairs. The\ndispatches he Bent home attracted the\nnotlco- of the czar, and, what waa more\nimportant, the notice of the two grand\ndukes, who wield most Influence in\nRussia, Vladimir and Alexander Mik-\nhailovitch, as well as of many members of the so-called war party, who\nwere delighted, of course, to find him\ndrawing attention to the rapidly increasing power of Japan as a danger for\nRussia. They realized at once what a\nuseful tool he, with his Intimate knowledge of the eaat, might be, if only he\ncould be induced to throw ln his lot\nwith them. Consequently, when he returned home they gave him a warm welcome, and when they found he was pliable, they took him under their spMlal\nprotection, going out of their way on\nall occasions to Impress on the czar\nthat he was a man of marked ability\nwho might be trusted to do great things\nfor Russia. It was about this time that\nM, Besobrasov first appeared on the\nscene, and no sooner did he appear than\nhe set to work to capture Alexleff, as\nhe had already -captured the grand duke\nAlexander. . . Admiral Alexleff had\nbeen hoodwinked almost as completely\nas ths caar himself; tor M. BeaobrasoT\nbad taken possession of Mm practically,\nand had made him understand clearly\nthat it was not to the czar that he must\nlook for his orders, but to a certain\ncommittee made up of grand dukes and\ngenerals, of which he, Besobrasov, was\nthe secretary. It was this committee\nhe must in all things obey, he was told,\nlet the czar say or do what he would.\nHe was told, too, that the sooner war\nbroke out between Russia and Japan,\nthe better pleased this committee would\nbe. Nay, It is even said that, ln order\nto give him a personal interest In\nmaking It break out, important concessions were secured for him not only in\nManchuria, but ln Korea. Little wonder\nthe air was alive with rumors of war\nbefore Alexleff had been viceroy a week.\nThe only marvel is that war did not at\nonce begin. . . Unfortunately, the admiral has been so long accustomed to\nobey the orders of the committee that\nlt Ib more than doubtful whether he\ncan now be induced to transfer his\nallegiance to his sovereign.\nKICKED BY A HORSE,\nWinnipeg-, Feb. 23.\u2014John Mclntyre, residing ten miles north of Neepawa, received a kick from a horse reccnly, which\nwill probably result fatally.

Bodwt-U announced, that ho hud con-\nuded the defendants case, at all events\nr the present. Counsel, for the second\nne during iho progress of tho trial hint-\nthat when he knew what theory us to\niex, course of vein, etc., tho plaintiffs'\naintalned he might otter evidence not\nrlctly ln rebuttal, so that if the plaints' take about the some tlmo to present\nsir case as tho defendants' havo dono the\nd of the extra-lateral rights case trial\nyet many days off.\nlo far ten days have been taken up ln\npresenting ono aspect of the case and it\nmay be taken for granted that the plaintiffs will present their contention with the\nsame elaborate euro that their opponents\nhave done.\nYesterday about CO oro samples moro or\nless wero added to tho court's collection\nby the defendants and every part of the\nmine's make up Is represented many times\nover in tho samples produced. There are\nglittering pieces of high grade galena, less\nshowy specimens of zinc blende, white\nquartz and Iron stained surface outcrop-\npings. Sections of country rock and selections of vein filling from all over tho work-\nl lngs. Slates, porphyry, and pieces of the\nI walls showing the sllckcnsldcs, and a mis-\n| cellaneous lot referred to In the evidence\nas sustaining the views of the experts.\nMora sketches and plans wero put ln\n| yeBterday, and today the plaintiffs will\nstart In to mako up a collection of plans,\nsketches and ore samples on their own\naccount, so that by the end of the week\nthe court should havo sufficient material\non hand with which to come to a definite\nconclusion, after hearing tne address of\ncounsel. About the only thing wanting at\npresent Is a scries of photographs, Including pictures of tho witnesses, models,\nplans, etc., which might prove useful In\nthe future ln more ways than one.\nThe evidence brought out yesterday waB\nrather uninteresting compared with that\nof the previous days. Much of the time of\nthe court was taken up ln tracing apparent contradiction of what Oscar White\nsaid on examination for discovery prior to\nthe trial and what he stated In chief In\nthe witness box. The alleged imperfections\n'of tho defendants' model and the Identification of any number of ore samples from\ndifferent polnto In tho Slocan Star workings also took much time.\nJu.it before the time for adjournment\nMr, Bodwall announced that he had con-\n22f!J!r\\,Er^-ntatl,n ,f th\u00bb \u00abefendanf\u00bb'\nMM tut Mr. :0\u00abt1i Mid ft* w-nN eiWne\nthe case for the plaintiffs' when court resumed In the morning, so that an interesting session may be looked for today.\nWhen tho court opened yesterday Mr.\nBodwell continued his examination in chief\nof Oscar V. White. The witness went into\nthe question of tho alleged mlstako in the\nmodel In tho neighborhood of No. 2 portal\nand the portal in the snowslide together\nwith tho apex line over theso points and\nadmitted that thero was a discrepancy, but\ninsisted that tho apex line was correctly\nshown as it really appeared. Asked about\nthe ore at point 27 on No. 5 level, he said\nit was galena spattered -with particles of\nspathic Iron. He was sure about the spathic iron, It was to be found all over tho mine\nwherever ore occurred. Tho walls flattened out at the curves In tho vein to about\n45 degrees.\nAfter the flood, or high water on Sandon creek, Harris had told him he had\nfound the outcropping of another vein on\nthe creek below whero tho Slocan ore vein\ncrossed. He had gone at onco and examined the place designated, but there was\nno Indication whatever of a vein crossing\nanywhere In the section pointed out by\nHarris,  or anywhere else below.\nWitness said he went with M. S. Davys\nover tho mine when he was making his\nexamination and he Identified the eleven\ndifferent places where Davys testified he\nsaw either tho foot or hanging wall of the\nvein or both. The hanging wall could be\nseen ln all the places mentioned and the\nfoot wall ln most of them.\nIn answer to Mr. Taylor tho witness again\nwent over in detail the eleven places where\nthe walls were to be seen on the turn In\nthe vein to the north as described gener-\natl by Davys.. Ho was in charge of the\nworkings whin the actual trespass on the\nHeber commenced. At tho tlmo ho did\nnot know he was out of his own ground,\nhe had Just run along tho course of the\nvein. Then counsel read extracts from the\nevldenco given by tho witness for discovery\nprevious to the trial and asked Mr. White\nto explain discrepancies between what he\nhad said formerly and what ho had sworn\nat tho trial, the cross-examination, being\ndirected chiefly to tho existence of ore at\ntho foot of the winze below level No. 5\nand the work dono In and around point B\nwhero the vein makes its second sharp\nturn, this time going- to tho south. Finally Mr. Taylor said, referring to tho\nwork done In and around point B: \"I may\nas well tell you plainly that we think you\nwere perfectly lost in this locality and did\nnot know where you were, and that you\nwent out Into the country rock searching\nfor the vein.\"\nThe witness warmly denied the Idea advanced by counsel and repeated hfs statement made ln chief that he knew he was\non the veVi when he directed the short\ncrosscut to be run to the southwest; that\nthe turn of the vein was already disclosed\nIn the workings before the crosscut wae\nstarted and that he went back and ran\nthe MO foot orossout whleD eventually cut\nthe TetB unttr Mtnio-a-efli trom Mb *tinw\nin Spokane, B. N. White. What he mlgh^\nhave done had he known just where the\nvein ran and just where the ore was to be\nfound was a different matter. He defended\nthe course adopted under the known circumstances at the time.\nAfter lunch another half hour was taken\nup in going over alleged Imperfections on\nthe model and then Mr. White said that if\nMr. Harris had got samples from the surface of tho Rabbit Paw which went one per\ncent zinc he could not explain it unless it\nhad been placed thero,\n\"Beforo concluding my cross-examination,\" said Mr. Taylor impressively, \"I\nwish you to state your exact relationship\nwith Mr. Cavanaugh.\"\nThero was a slight pause and then the\nwitness said with a smile, amid intense\nBllence in the court room: \"Why, Mr. Cavanaugh Is married to a niece of mine.\"\nMr. Taylor then took his seat amid an\naudible sigh of relief from the spectators\nwho apparently were not quite sure what\nwaa going to happen next. The learned\njudge made no note of the relationship and\nthe case proceeded.\nThe court asked the witness again to\nexplain why the work on tbe vein at the\ncurve B had been temporarily stopped\nand other work started and again Mr.\nWhite went oil over his story aa told in\nchief. >\nMr. Bodwell showed some Impatience at\nthe Importance allotted to the matter.\n\"What difference would lt make my lord,\"\nsaid he, \"if we bad lost the vein and started out to look for it? The fact is that we\ndid not, but If we did, the subsequent work\ndune has surely cleared all doubt away. I\nwill call on Mr. White to come up from Spo\nkano If necessary to clear the matter up\nas to why the long crosscut was run. I\ndo not attach any importance to the matter but will get Mr. White hero if possible.\"\nSurveyor Twlgg was recalled to Identify\nsome 20 specimens of what counsel called,\ntypical samples of Slocan Star ore, vein\nfilling and surrounding rock mostly taken\nfrom No. B level three days ago by Mr,\nTwlgg personally. The witness in addition\ngave his opinion as to the course of the\nvein, position of tho walls and character\nof the rock at some of the \"dangerous\"\npoints on all of which he was closely\ncross-examined by Mr. Davis, at whose Instance some 25 moro samples were produced and some of which were added to the\ncourt's collection.\nAlexander Lawson McKlIlop, assayer,\nstated that he had assayed a number of\nsamples sent to him sealed up by Mr.\nElmendorf. His certificate as to what the\nsamples severally showed, was identified\nand put in.\nHerbert W. Sharp, a miner working on\nthe Slocan Star, swore to the finding of ore\nat point 19 at the surface.\nTo Mr, Davis, the witness said ho was\na nephew of the Whlto's.\nMr. Drowry was recalled on tho question\nof the correctness of the model, Mr. Bodwell declaring that Mr. Taylor's contention was too deep for him to grasp. The\npoint was then settled to everyone's satisfaction. Mr. Drewry proving that the\nmodel correctly showed the true line of\nthe apex and Mr. Taylor still retaining\nhis view that some points were about 30\nfeet out of place.\nThen counsel had a little legal duel on\ntheir own account. Mr. Bodwell anL\nnounced that with tho exception of Byron\nWhite, whoso testimony could bo taken at\nany time, he had closed his case, but he\nmade a plea that under certain circumstances he should be allowed much latitude on the question of .putting in evidence\nIn rebuttal.\nMr, Davis said he would state what he\nproposed to prove at length and would\nthen allow his friend to call any evidence\nin advance to disprove the conclusions which\nwould later bo made by expert witnesses,\nbut ho would strongly contest counsel's\nright to put fn any evidence not strictly\nIn rebuttal onco his caso was closed.\nIn reply Mr. Bodwell, while thanking\nhis learned friend for such generous treatment, snld thnt. what Mr. Davis snld he\nwould prove nnd what his witnesses might\nsubsequently live up to were two quite\ndifferent matters and tho kind offer was\nreally of no assistance to him.\nMr. Davis\u2014\"I am not bound to do what\nI now offer.   You can accept or not.\"\nMr. Bodwell\u2014\"I respectfully decline to\nexpress any opinion In the matter,\"\nMr. Davis\u2014\"Oh, very well. I will commence my statement In tho morning.\"\nTho court then adjourned untlt 11 o'clock\ntoday, when the plaintiff's case will be\noutlined by counsel.\nIt should be stated that tn yesterday's\naccount of the trial Mr. Davys wns creditor\nwith commencing work on the Slocan properties In 1891.

They all entertain kindly feelings towards the young prince, who born\nand reared In exile, nevertheless managed\nto travel Incognito from one end of Spain\nto tho other in order to becomo acquainted\nwith his nntlve land.\nSupporters of the present government,\nhowever, see causo for satisfaction rather\nthan alarm In the departure of Don Jaime\nfor the scene of hostilities between Bus-\nNOTICE\nI can quickly aell for cash, without local\npublicity, your business, real estate or\npartnership, no matter whore located.\nSend me full particulars, prices, etc. Addresa, Chas.

From their point of view\nthe action of the czar ln assigning the\nyoung \/prince to military duty in the far\neast may be taken as an Indication of his\ngood will and sympathy for king Alfonso,\nsince by so doing he not only removes the\npretender to a remote part of the world,\nbut likewise forces the Carllsls In Spain\nto continue quiet owing to the absence of\nthe one man who might bo expected to\nact as their leader.\nShould Don Jaime succumb either to\nwounds or disease In the far east It is\nhis uncle, Don Alpbonse, younger brother\nof Don Carlos, who would become the\nonly remaining heir to the Carlists' pretensions. Don Alpbonse enjoys no popularity with the Spanish people and consequently, If anything untoward were to happen to Don Jaime there would virtually bs\nan end to the Carlist cause.\nMAN WITH MANY IDEAS\nTELLS   AN   ALDERMAN   HOW   TO\nSELL THB CITY BONDS.\nTHINKS LORD STRATHCONA MIGHT\nINVEST IN THEM.\nA couple of ratepayers cornered alderman Smith yesterday afternoon and\nthe conversation finally drifted around\nto the matter of the 1150,000 of 5 per\ncent debentures which the city Is endeavoring to sell ln order to erect an\nelectric power and light plant near Bon-\nnlngton Falls.\n\"Any immediate prospect of selling\nthe bonds \" asked the ratepayer with\nideas.\n\"Nothing tangible in sight so far,\"\nreplied Mr. Smith, \"we are still endeavoring to dispose of them.\"\n\"Something should be done ln order\nto improve the lighting service, as it is\npretty rocky at times. The times are ripe\n'for the erection of the plant. The\nwhole country is advancing and Nelson\nis growing with it and can easily afford\nto put ln the plant as it 13 an investment that would pay trom the time it\nbegan, operations. What Nelson now\nwants Is cheap power as well as better\nand cheaper electric lights. We are\ngetting a number of small manufactories\nhere and cheap power is essential to\ntheir existence. We must have the\nplant.\"\n\"But how are you going to get it If\nthe bonds cannot be sold?\"\n\"I have been laying awake nights,\"\nsaid the ratepayer with ideas, \"thinking how these bonds could be sold. At\nlast I have hit upon a plan that I\nthink will win. The bonds are a gilt-\nedge Investment, as Nelson is always\nable to pay 100 cents on the dollar of\nher indebtedness. Now there Is lord\nStrathcona, high commissioner for Canada, and one of the most patriotic\nCanadians that ever lived. I believe if\nthe matter was referred to him that he\nwould sell those bonds in a very short\ntime, even if he had to buy them himself. Has the city council eyer tried\nhim?\" I    i\n\"No; I am certain that he has never\nbeen approached,\" replied alderman\nSmith. : ' 1 i\n\"If the council falls with lord Strathcona, there Is lord Aberdeen, who was\ngovernor-general of Canada from 1893 to\n1898. Lord Aberdeen visited Nelson\nabout the time he was retiring from\noffice and he knows this town and Its\nresources like a book. Why, he has\nmoney to burn and would doubtless soon\narrange that little loan for us. What\nwould 1160,000 be to him? It would bo\na mere bagatelle. Has tho council ever\ntried lord Aberdeen? I'll bet dollars to\ndougtnuts that it has not\"\n\"I do not believe that the matter has\never been broached to lord Aberdeen,\"\nanswered alderman Smith.\n\"Then,\" continued tho man with Ideas\n\"tbere is Mr. Turner, the ex-premler of\nthe province, who Is now the agent-\ngeneral of the province ln London. I\nbelieve that he would bave only the very\nslightest trouble In placing this loan.\nHe is in touch with capital In England\nand should be able to place lt In a\ncouple of days. Nelson's credit should\nbe first class there. I suppose the city\nfathers never have even thought of approaching Mr. Turner, have they?\"\n\"Not that I know of,\" replied Mr.\nSmith, meekly.\n\"Well, they should have me In the\ncity council and I believe I could have\nthose bonds sold so quickly that It\nwould make the heads of the present\ncouncil swim,\" concluded the ratepayer\nwith Ideas, triumphantly.\n\"I believe that you aro right,\" replied alderman Smith, with great meekness. \"Please excuse me, as there is a\nman up the street that I must see.\"\nThen the seance broke up.\nOXFORD CAFE\nPHONE 208.\nMeals at all hours.
