In few places are the lines\nmore than a mile apart and they are so\nclose before the Japanese left that loud\ntalking In the Russian trenches can fee\nplainly heard.\nThough the Russians became quiet,\nearly in December they have renewed\nthe bombardment of tho Japanese centre\nana left in the last fortnight. The\nJapanese usually He low in their\ntrenches and remain silent. Often several hundred shells will be fired In a\n' Jay without doing any damago although\noccasionally a shell strikes an exposed\ngroup or kills some careless soldier.\nAlmosfcevery hour of the day or night\nartillery is booming and rifles are popping somewhore along the lines. The\n(Russian ibombardment usually (begins\nIbefore noon and continues until sunset\nbut It is often resumed from midnight\nto the 'breaking of day. Frequently\nsorties are made by the companies or\nby detachments when the lighting becomes severe. Both armies are using\n\" hand grenades, as one of their regular\nweapons for close lighting. Recon-\nnoltering forces constantly patrol ih\u00bb\ncountry on both flanks to guard against\noffensive movements and to protect\nauxiliary lines of communication.\nThe Russians obtain quantities of\nsupplies from Slnmlntin where the\nChinese branch railway ends and they\nnfust protect the roads leading to that\npoint while the Japanese guard the\nhighways to the Yalu river. The barren\nsurface of the land and the remarkably\nclear atmosphere make surprises almost\nimpossible. The fields are without\ncover and the hills are bare and rocky.\nThe only rover for moving troops Is\nthe deep ravines which seam the country. There is Beldom a cloud in the\nsky, and the nights are bright and starlit. The weather continues to be evenly cold. All the soldiers on the front\nline live In underground huts, heated\nwith charcoal.\nField marshal Oyama, general Koda-\nma, his chief of start, and general Puk-\nnshlma, occupy an ordinary Chinese\nihouse In a small village. General Kur-\nokl's headquarters is a similar establishment while the attaches live on a\ncomparatively luxurious scale in a foreign Russian building.\nThe soldiers beyond the line are\n, quartered' in Chinese houses and In\n1 structures of corn stalks and earth. The\nChinese share their dwellings with the\narmy and receive rent for them, besides, getting good prices for all produce\nand extra wages for their labor.\nThe transportation department hires\nan army of carts, animals and coolies,\npaying four times the normal prices,\nand skilled labor commands corresponding rates; The prices for coal and\nwood, however, have risen proportionately.\nThe women nnd children who deserted\ntheir homes during the Russian, occupancy have gradually returned until\nalmost the normal population Is back.\nlAilthough they at first regarded the\nJapanese iwlth distrust, good relationship has now been established.\nThe roads are at their best- in the\nwinter time, Mug hard and smooth \u00bb\u00bb*\nconsequently the transport department\nIs taking advantage of this condition to\naccumulate suppplles.\nCharcoal burning Is one of tlie army's\nactivities and tho sparse timber Is consumed at a rate which Is likely to leave\nthe company almost bare in the spring.\nThe Chinese do not object to this because the timber Is bought and not confiscated. The smoke of kilns Is seen\neverywhere.\nThe Japanese soldiers are clothed In\nfurs and heavy overcoats and the\nequipment and supplying of the army\ncontinues as it has since the Japanese\nlanded In Korea nearly a year ago, to\nbe almost above criticism.\nBUROLAKIBS AT VANCOUVER\nTwo Safes Blown Open and Small Amounts\nSeortred\nVancouver, Jan, 2\u2014The safes in tho\ntemporary depot of, the Groat Northern\nrailway and H.

The best informed circles at the war office which\nare in possession of unpublished portions of despatches taken by the torpedo\nboats to Che Poo indicating the state of\naffairs In the beleaguered garrison, accept the news ns true and it Is not too\nmuch to say that It was received almost.\nwith a sense ot relief and the fact that\nthe remnant of the heroic defenders Is\nnot reserved for sacrifice at a final\nstorming and perhaps to be subjected to\nhorrors and excesses, does not meet\nwith a word of criticism in Russia.\nEven In defeat general Stoessel's wonderful defence of Port Arthur has earned for him an imperishable name In\nRussian military annals.\nEver since confirmation was received\nof the destruction of the Port Arthur\nsquadron, it has been felt ihoth at the\nadmiralty and at the war office that\nthe main reason for the sacrifice of the\nlast man In the defence of the fortress\nhad gone, and the progress made by the\nbesiegers during the paBt fortnight, culminating In the capture of Wantl (Signal) hill, which broke the chain of Inner eastern forts made it certain that\nthe end was at hand.\nIt was considered almost certain,\nhowever, that Stoessel would not surrender without the emperor's authorization, and it is thought that he pro-\nfeably asked to be allowed to communicate with his majesty through Tokio.\nAs the emperor Is In the south of Rus-\nBla the nature of any despatches forwarded from Che Poo, describing the\nterrible straits to which the garrison\nwas reduced' are not published here.\nThe report that general Stoessel, In\naddition to confirming the death of\ngeneral Kondratenko, had announced\nthe deaths of generals Fock and Smirnoff, had a bad effect. The news was\nreflected on the Bourse by a fall in imperial four per cents to 89, the lowest\npoint since the war began.\nAt the admiralty a good deal of confusion existed but it Is not admitted\nthat tho fall of Port Arthur will alter\nthe plans of admiral Rojestvensky,\nsuch an event being fully anticipated\nwhen the Russian second Pacific squadron left Russian waters. The squadron Is not ibound for Port Arthur, but\nfor Vladlvostock. Nevertheless, the\nfeeling is one of gloom and a decision\nto order Rojestvenstty to await further\nreinforcements 'before proceeding would\nnot greatly surprise shrewd observers.\nThe political effect in Russia of the\nfall of Port Arthur Is awaited wlfh the\ngreatest Interest. The hour of grief of\nloyal Russians Is almost sure to be\ntaken advantage of by the discontented\nelement to make demonstrations\nagainst the government. The revolutionary party has already decided to\nuse the occasion for a general demonstration.\nJIAiPS ARE MAGNANIMOUS.\nConquerors Recognize Marvelous Defence of Garrison. ,\nTokio, Jan. 2.\u2014A despatch from the\narmy ibefore Port Arthur received at\nnoon today, says:\n\"The enemy's forces occupying Kek-\nwan mountain and \"Q\" fort, following\nan explosion at 12.30 o'clock this morning, opened a sudden and fierce rifle Are\nwhich was suddenly stopped.

In military\ncircles the opinion Ib expressed that the\ndiscussion covered only a few questions,\nincluding allowing the garrison to\nmarch out carrying their arms, permitting the garrison to return to Russia\nwith or without their officers, and requiring their parole not to take any further part in the war.\"\n\"YOU OBNBRAlLS FIGHT\"\nSaid Stoessel When Men Could Not\u2014\nFortress Was Exhausted.\nChe Foo, Jan. 2.\u2014(Mldnlght)-Cpm-\nmander Kartow of the Russian torpedo\nboat destroyer Vlastnl, In an interview\nwith the Associated Press corresponds**\ntonight said:\n\"Port Arthur falls of exhaustion-\nexhaustion not only of ammunition hut\nof men. The remnant of the garrison\nleft have been doing the work of heroes\nfor five days and Ave nights, ibut yesterday they reached the limit of human\nendurance. '\n\"In the casemates of the forts one saw\neverywhere faces black with starvation,\nexhaustion and nerve strain. You\nspoke to them but they did not give\nanswer, only stared dumbly.\n\"The tack of ammunition alone would\nnot hnve suggested tho seeking of terms.\nScant ammunition had become common\nIn the fortress and during the month\nmany of the forts bad nothing to return the enemy's Are with. The Russians sat In the casemates firing not\nmore than once to the 200 shots sent by\nthe Japanese. When the assault came\nthey repulsed the enemy with bayonets.\nBut the men themselves having existed\nfor t|iree months on reduced rations,\nwere so worn out that It is marvellous\nthat they stood the final strain so long.\nYesterday general Stoessel would still\nfight. His wound which was received\nearly In the siege had been bothering\nhim but his determination to fight while\none man stood had not been diminished.\n\"But we cannot fight,\" said his general. \"Our men cannot move. They\nkeep standing, they cannot see the bayonets at their breasts. We can order\nbut they cannot obey.\"\n\"Then you generals light,\" said Stoessel, closing his fists.\n'\u25a0'He seemed fanatical on the subject\nbut finally he was brought to see reason\nby the insistance of his subordinates,\nadmirals Lochinsky and Wiren, generals Smirnoff and Pock and many others\nwho sometimes with broken voices urged the step which all dreaded so long.\n\"I am sure Port Arthur would have\nsought terms a month ago had It not\nbeen for general Stoessel, who with bull\ndog tenacity, steadily refused to permit\nsuch action to be taken. Ho had told\nhis emperor that he would never surrender and he meant to'keep his word.\n\"The greatest loss suffered by Port\nArthur occurred a fortnight ago when\nmajor general Kondratenko was killed.\nOfficers and men alike regarded him as\nthe brightest star in Port Arthur. When\nhis death became known the emotion of\nthe soldiers \\vas plainly noticeable.\nGeneral Kondratenko was\" seated iu\nthe casement of the fort discussing with\neven other officers tho best way of\ncountermining against the Japanese\nwhen an 11-Inch shell burst, killing\neverybody In tho casemRle.\n\"General Nogl has taken Port Arthur\nwith his artillery and his tunnels.

They use that word unpro-\nfanely and convincingly, declaring thnt\nthe horrors witnessed were beyond any\ndescription. There was not a single\nspot In the town which was safe from\nshrapnel. Many of tho hospitals were\nhit and the wounded refused to stay at\nthem. Some went Into the streets over\nthe heaps ot debris, exposed to the bitterly cold weather and some staggered\nback to the front, hulling stones and\ndefying the Japanese till taken prisoners or death came mercifully to end\ntheir sufferings.\nThere were Ave days and nights of\nthis state of affairs. The stock of ammunition which had been carefully husbanded for months was almost gone\nand it was all too evident that the Japanese were about to grasp the prize\nwhich had cost her an army of meu and\ncountless treasure.\nThe capture of 203 Metre hill by tho\nJapanese was the garrison's first vital\nwound. Then came the enpturo of\nRlhlung, Sungshu and Panlung mountains. General Stoessel had announced\nthat he would flght till the last. \"His\nplight last night,\" said captain Karlow,\ncommander of torpedo boat destroyer\nVlastnl, \"looked like the last.\n\"There was no stopping the Japnncse.\nStoessel had killed a Japanese army\nand exhausted his ammunition, but,\"\nadded captain Karlow, \"they became\nmore furious, ferocious and fateful then\never .

Emperor\nNicholas is in the south of Russia and\nhis ministers are for the time being in\nthe dark as to what despatches have\nbeen sent to him from the front.\nToklo was the scene of. rejoicing,\npeople of all ranks finding in the outcome compensation for all the sacrifices\nof life and money ontailed in the 10\nmonths' siege.\nTo what extent the fall of Port Arthur will make for a treaty of peacejs\nan open question. There is an encouraging note in the expression of baron\nHayashl, Japanese minister in London,\nof the hope thnt In some way It will\nfacilitate peace though the pacific note\nIs not in the words of the minister\nwhich call attention to the fact that the\narmy will now be free to go north\nwhere they will offset. the reinforcement which Kouropatkin has been receiving from Russia since tho battle of\ntho Sliakho.\\\nThe spirit of tlie Russians may be\njudged by the statement of the secreary\nof the embassy at London that the campaign will be renewed with fresh vigor\nin the spring and Hint, the nation will\nnot lie content to permit Port Arthur to\nremain In the bands of the Japanese.\nBoth In Paris and London the opinion\nIs that the squadron under admiral Rojestvensky, which started from Llbau\nfor tho far east three months ago, will\nhave to retrace its way home, as adherence to the original plan would Invite\ndisaster without probability of effecting\na junction with the warships at present\nin the harbor at Vladlvostock;\nThat Japan may not be permitted to\nretain Port Arthur without a dispute Is\nshown In the fact that Paris newspapers are already reviving the claim\nmade In 1891 that the holding of that\nport by Japan would bo a menace to\n.European powers.\nNegotiation of Terms of Surrender Concluded.\nToklo, Jan. 2.\u2014(10 p. m.l\u2014\nThe toxt of general Nogi's telegram, announcing the capitulation of tho Russian forces at\nPort Arlhur, is ns follows:\n\"The plenipotentiaries of both\nparties concluded their negotiations today at 1.30 o'clock.

It was the one topic of discussion from the street corners where\ngroups were sheltered from the driving\nsnow, to the comfortable service clubs,\nthe legations and the residences of officers and cabinet ministers.--\nEverywhere the utmost admiration\nwas expressed for the defenders and the\nattacking army and the probability that\ngeneral Nogl has made concessions to\nthe gallant general 8toessel Is received\nwith much satisfaction. '\nThe announcements of the fall of the\nRussian stronghold created little Bur-\nprise In official and diplomatic circles\nwhore It had been discounted by recent\nevents. It was krtown as early aa last\nOctober that notwithstanding the brave\nshowing In the official despatches, general Stoessel's resources were nearly at\nan end.\nNowhere, not even at the Russian embassy, waa there a doubt concerning\nthe generosity of the Japanese in the\narrangemont of the Anal terms. In\ndiplomatic circles the main question\nwas that of the effect ot the surrender.\nThe conceMiMjtM that It .might tend'\nIn the direction of peace but none dared venture to say that peace Is In sight.\nIt is believed it will do more to bring\nout suggestions fnrora foreign governments. At tho foreign office It was\nstated that the British government's attitude Is unchanged, that while peace\nIs most desirable, affairs have not yet\nreached a stage where any of the foreign powers could hope to offer its good\nofdees with the assurance that it would\nbe considered a friendly act by each of\nthe belligerents. At the Russian embassy the determination to prosecute\nthe war to the bitter end was expected.\nIn fact, it was confidently stated that\nRussia would only regard tho surrender\nof Port Arthur in tho light of a fresh\nincentive and would spare no efforts\nfor its recapture.\nFirst secretary Poklewsky-Koziel in\nthe absence of ambassador Benckendorff\ngave voice to that sentiment when ho\nBald to the Associated Press that he felt\nsatisfied* that the surrender of the fortress would only serve to unite all\nRussia in the determination to put forth\nher whole strength in the spring with\na view to retrieving the situation.\nThe general tone at the embassy\nformed a striking contrast to the cheerfulness and activity prevailing at the\nJapanese legation.\nMinister baron Hayashi was the recipient during the day of hundreds of\ntelegrams of congratulation from all\nparts of Great Britain and other countries, and official despatches confirming\nthe 'Associated Press news, from Toklo\nwere received at frequent intervals.\nMinister Haynshl was Interviewed but\ndeclined to discuss the probability of\npeace negotiations. He, however, said:\n\"The fall of Port Arthur will at any\nrate end the horrible slaughter In one\npart of the theatre of war, and I Bln-\nceroly hope that In some way It will\nfacilitate final peace.\"\nBaron fluomatou, Don In-law nf mar-\nquls Ho, and former Japanese minister\nof the interior, said: \"Now that we\nhave again got Port Arthur wo will not\nnllow any other power to hold It after\nwe havo beaten Russia; and I am now\nmoro than ever confident that Japan\nwill be victorious. I do not expect the\nfall of Port Arthur will make much difference with tlie progress of tho war,\nthough Japan will undoubtedly be In a\nhotter position.\"\nIn British naval circles the prevailing\nopinion is that the recall of the Russian\nsecond Pacific squadron has now become an absolute necessity.\nPARIS SEES A BOGEY\nlost In the attack more men than the\nwhole Russian garrison combined.\nAll the newspapers hero eulogize the\ncourage and presistenoe displayed on both\nsides and some of thorn regard tlio recoil\nof the itUHKlan Paclllc squadron us being\na possibility.\nWORLD MUST\nADMIRE HIM\n I\nLord Roberts' Fulsome\nPraise of Stoessel's Splendid Defense\nESCAPED TO TSINGAU.\nThree Vessels Leave Port (Arthur and\nReaclTChlnese'Port\".\nOhe Foo., Jan. 2.r-The torpedo -boat\ndestroyer Smirlt and Bolki, and a transport, left Port Arthur last night, tho\nlatter carrying 800 wounded soldiers\nand, according to a report from Tsin-\ngau, succeeded In reaching that port.\nThe departure of the ships was decided\nupon at the council of war at which it\nwas determined to negotiate for a surrender of the fortress.

Tlio newspapers discussed the matter ut some length and In\na tone of sadness. The Russian otllcluls\nhere learned the situation from the Associated Press despatches from Toklo,\nwhile the Japanese legation received a\nbrief official summary of the progress of\nwhat occurred.\nTho prevailing French view Is summed\nup by the Tenuis which says that the\nhistoric defence of Sebnstopool has now\nbeen surpassed by Port Arthur adding a\nglorious page to military annals which\nwill long remain unchallenged.\nContinuing, the Temps points out that\nthe surrender will exert a tremendous\nmoral effect favorable to the Japanese.\nTlie Japanese, tho paper says, tire now revenged for the loss of Port Arthur after\nthe Chtno-Japanesc war.\nFrench military critics regard the surrender of Port Arthur as rendering general Kouropatkin's position Increasingly\ndangerous as the besieging army of SlUHKI\nmen Is now released and will relnrorce\nthe Japanese army In the north. It Is\nexpected that vice-admiral Rojestvensky's\nstpiadron will proceed no farther In the\ndirection of the sent of war. The hope\nIs expressed in otllolui circles that the surrender of Port Arlhur will hasten peace\nbut the prevailing view Is that the fall\nwill accentuate Russia's resistance.\nSome Paris Journals assert that Japanese occupation or Port Arthur will constitute a menace to all Europe, which the\nchancellories should prepare to meet.\nSt. Petersburg Reports That Destroyers\nMay Make Such Attempt.\nSt. Petersburg, Jan. 2.\u2014Willie all is\nstill conjecture here regarding the proposed terms of the surrender of Port\nArthur the feeling at the*, war office Is\nthat In return for abandoning further\nresistance and surrendering the fortifications and guns general Stoessel should\nreceive the honors of war and be allowed with the garrison to return home on\nparole. No surprise was created by tlie\nreport that the ships in the harbor had\nbeen blown up. The Instructions that\nthey were not to be allowed to fall into\nthe hands of the Japanese were imperative.\nThe admiralty displays reticence in\nregard to the purpose of the torpedo-\nboat destroyers which escaped from\nChe Foo to Singtau but there is reason\nto believe that arrangements will be\nmade with the help of colliers t* havo\nthem try to proceed south in an attempt\nto join admiral Rojestvensky's squadron hut if the conditions are adverse it\nIs realized that they must be disarmed.\nHAVE SHIPS PENNED UP.\nLondon, Jan. 8\u2014General Stoessel's defence of Port Arthur has excited the admiration of earl Roberts, commumler iu\nchief of the British forces. -It has been\na magnificent defence,\" said the veteran\nlighter.

But most of tho\nwriters think the defence was a tactical\nerror and that the fortress exercised a\nfatal fnselnatlon for the Russian army\nand fleet. But had Russia abandoned Port\nArthur at tho outset she would probably\nhave been able to crush the Japanese ad- \u25a0\nvanec In Manchuria. On the ether hand,\nIt Is agreed that Its enormous strength,\ncompelled the Japanese to waste their\nj&hergles for many months and prevented\nthem from employing their full forces\nagainst Kouropatkin, and that the Immedl- -\nato effect will be to revolutionize European ideas of the value of the permanent\nfortresses.\nAnother point exciting keen Interest is\nIhe status of Wet Hal Wei. which according to treaty was only to be held so lonB\nas Russia remained In possession oE Port\nArthur. The Idea ts, however, that Great\nBritain will continue in possession as admiral sir Cyprian Bridge holds this view,\nand thinks th i.-a s nothing to pn\"*ent\nGreat Brltalri from making -a fresh convention with regard to the port.\nSH00TERSJVIN TURKEYS\nCAPTAIN GORR TOOK NINE OUT OU'\nTWENTY-FOUR\nEVENTS CLOSEL1' CONTESTED-PROCEEDS TO K.L.G.

LAMBERT oY CO.\nNelson, 7.\nRossland, 7.\nNelson may seo much more skillful\nplaying before the season Is over hut It\nis doubtful if the fans witness a more\nevenly or a more stubbornly contestea\nmatch than that between Nelson and\nRossland which marked the opening of\nthe hockey season at the Nelson rink\nyesterday afternoon.\nIt was an auspicious opening in every\nrespect, in fact much better from every\npoint of view than was anticipated or\nthan any ono had reason to expect as\nthe weather had not been conducive to\nfast ice and had given neither team any\nopportunity for practice. Nevertheless\nit was a game well worth seeing. It\ncannot 'he said that it was not fiercely\nfast considering the conditions and although the want of practice militated\ngreatly against perfection of combination, rendering tlie character of the\nplay much of the lime more of tho\nshinny order than clean cut combination hockey, still the scrimmages themselves so fiercely hot and rough that tlie\nspectator could scarcely understand\nwhy half the players were not knocked\nout, added interest and kept the result\nconstantly in doubt.\nIn the first half it looked considerably\nas if Nelson would prove the winner as\nat the end of that half'the score stood\nA to 2 In favor of the home team and\nthe visitors seemed to tire, hut they\nrallied when the second half openod\nand by lightning work tied the score\nwithin three minutes from the time\nplay commenced. Nelson immediately\nrecovered the lost ground and from\nthat time it was give and take until\nwithin a few minutes of the call of time\nwihen the visitors made a spurt and\ntwice landed the puck on the flags in\nexactly two minutes of play, thereby\nevening the score.\nAlthough the Nelson team had hardly been on the ice together, at most, not\nenough to benefit greatly thereby, it\nmay fairly be said that the home team\nhad the better of the combination work,\nalthough both sides were ragged in that,\nrespect. It was noticeable, however,\nthat Nelson had a strong forward line\nwhich should make an, excellent showing when the men shall have had sufficient practice to perfect their team work.\nThere was not much of spectacular\nIndividual achievement, if a remarkable long shot for goal 'by Rdbertson of\nthe home team and a whirlwind rush\nby Howarth of the visitors which netted\na goal, be excepted. Those two instances were pretty bits'of work. Robertson standing within thirty feet of\nthe visitors' goal, stopped a long lift\nfrom Rossland's cover point and lifting\nthe puck straight and swift, ovor the\nheads of all the players, landed it In the\nnet. Howarth's effort consisted of taking the puck at about center, dodging\ncleverly the Intervening players of the\ndefence and winding up a lightning\nniBh on the flags by a sure shot for goal.\nOthers who distinguished themselves\nby clever work were Deacon at point,\nand Armitage at center, for the home\nteam, and Hood at center and Wilson,\nrover, for the visitors.\nThe attendance was gratifying, being\nas large as the rink could accommodate\nwithout crowding and the close exciting\nplay kept the crowd In a ferment of excitement.\nCD. Blackwood officiated as referee\nand gave excellent satisfaction. The\nother officials of the game were: Timekeepers, chief Guthrie, of Rossland, and\nO. W. Mclirlde, of Nelson; goal um\npires, Charles Longhurst and R. S. Irwin.\nThe teams wero lined up as follows:\nNelson Position Rossland\nGreyerbeihl Goal McCreary\nDeacon Point Donohuo\nRobertson Cover Jameson\nN. Thompson ..Rover...J Wilson\nBaker Center Hood\nArmitage R.W Grierson\nJ, Thompson ...L.W Howarth\nHalves\u201430 minutes each.1\nIt was a few minutes after 3 o'clock\n[When - iteferee Blackwood's wfojstle\nstarted the game In motion. Rossland\ncarried the puck swiftly into Nelson territory but it was safely returned, and a\nscrimmage ensued In Rossland's left\ncorner. Howarth finally secured tho\npuck and in combination it was carried\nto Nelson's goal where Hood shot a goal\nin just five minutes of play.\nThe teams quickly faced off and there\nfollowed nine minutes of the hardest\nkind of rough and tumble hockey imaginable. At the end of that time, Jameson of the visitors lifted the puck two-\nthirds the length of the rink to save tho\nsituation for Rossland, when Robertson\nstopped the flying rubber with his hand\nand facing about, in infinitely less time\nthan it takes to tell It, sent the puck\nlike a ride ball over the heads of alKhe\nplayers, straight Into the net.\nIt was just four minutes from the\ntime the puck was in. play again, until\nBaker emerged from a mix up and tore\ndown on the enemy's flags, shooting a\ngoal.\nSome fierce work followed the next\nface off. The puck went up and down\nthe ice so rapidly as to render It Impossible to keep in touch with it, but\nit eventually \"encountered the stick of\nWilson of the visitors who succeeded in\npushing it lo Nelson flags in four minutes of play.\nThe visitors were unable to do any\nmore business in the first half. They\nseemed to weaken and had It not been\nfor a number of clever stops by Mc-\nCreary at goal the score would have\nibeen decidedly different as there were\nseveral hot shots straight for the flags.\nIn three and five minutes 'respectively,\nArmitage nnd Baker scored, ending the\nfirst half.\nSiiore\u2014Nelson 4, Rossland 2.\nThe second half opened with Rossland In possession of the puck after the\nface off and it was hardly a minute\nbefore Howarth shot successfully for\ngoal. In two minutes more he repeated\nthe operation after one of the best, exhibitions of combination the visitors put\nup in the game.\nTho score was tied and Nelson realized it was necessary to get down to\nlousiness. The players exerted themselves to the utmost but only succeeded\nin preventing the visitors from scoring\nby the narrowest of margins on two occasions. Then there was a rally. The\nhome players carried the puck In combination down tho ice and J. F.\nThompson shot a goal in four minutes\nof play.\nRossland continued to threaten the\n.home goal but the shots of tho visitors\nmissed and at the end of four minutes\nmore shot a goal.\nAfter the face off the puck was in\nplay tho longest period of any during\nthe gnme without a goal being scored\nand there were innumerable terrifying\nscrimmages in which it seemed as if\nmore than ono player must be injured,\nbut happily all escaped, and eventually\ncame Howarth's opportunity. The puck\nwas passed to him by Grierson and alone\nhe made his splendid rush up the lco for\na goal.\nRobertson scored again after seven\nminutes play and, Hood and Wilson for\nthe visitors alternated in scoring, each\nin a single minute's tuny.\nFrom that time the efforts of- both\nsides to land on the net were futile and\nthe game endod a tic.\nIt, Is expected that the tie will be\nplayed off at Rossland next Monday.^\nSUCCESS OF B. C. FRUIT\nREPORT OF AGENT GENERAL TURNER ON LONDON EXHIBIT\nOLD COUNTRY MERCHANTS WANT TO\nHANDLE OUR APPLES\nHon J. H. Turner, agent general for British Columbia in England, hns written to\nr. M. Palmer, of the bureau of provincial Information, regarding' the exhibit oi\nBrltiah Columbia fruit at tlio colonial fruit\nshow of tins Royal Horticultural sooioty,\nheld at Vincent Hquuro, Went minster,\nLondon, S.W., from December ]2 to ic Mr.\nTurner says:\nR. M. Palmer, Esq., Victoria, B.C.;\nDear Mr. Palmer\u2014Tho colonial fruit'show\nof the Royal Horticultural socltey was\nopened by a private view to tlio press\nand Invited guests on Monday, 12, at ii\np.m., inn! to the public on the l.'JUi, closing last everihfg;\nThe show as a whole waa not so good\nns was expected; owing to the fact that apparently the governments of tlie other\nfruit growing provinces have not taken It\nup very thoroughly. Nova Scotia had,\nhowever, ie good, though rather small\nexhibit. What purported lo be at ilrst\nOntario, but wns. afterwards changed and\nlabeled Dominion of Canada, was about the\nsame slue an Nova Scotia. The fruit was\ngood. I believe the fruit was sent by tho\ndominion commercial agent, Bristol. 'Ihe\nNova Scotia apples were, I thought excellent, but British Columbia caino far ahead;-\nthere was much more of It, and the apples\nlooked wonderfully attractive, We hud\nsecured, 1 think, far the best position In\ntho hnil, having practically a largo raised\ncompartment of the hall all to ourselves.\nAs you know, tho fruit had been lying\nhero for a month, and 1 felt a little nervous about It, and personally saw most of\nthe cases nnd a selection mado from each\nfor the tables. It really wus the great\nlealure of tlie show, next lo tlio West\nIndian, display of tropical fruits of all\nkinds. It Is really ignite remarkable what\nnil attraction there seems to be about\nBritish Columbia fruit hero now; our section was crowded nil day.' There wus a\ngreat demand for bullet inn, of which wo\ndistributed hundreds. When It was known\nthat British Columbia bud again received\nthe highest award, the gold -medal, wo\nwero heartily congratulated on nil hands.\nI am confident that there will bo many\ngoing from hero to take up fruit bind In\nour province next year. But now tho\nLondon fruit mcrchunts have got strongly\nInterested. Tho socrctnry of the Army\nand Navy stores culled on me at the show\nto know If wo could sell any of the fruit.\nI replied thnt It bad been the Intention to\ndo so, but If a concern like the Army and\nNavy stores wished to make a specialty\nof It, I would have the whole carefully examined so that none but perfect fruit\nwould bo offered to the public, and thus\nmake up a few cases for them. This Is now\nbeing done und 1 hope to have the decision\nof the Army and Navy stores about it tomorrow. 1 called at the stores today and\nthey Informed me that they would like\nto muke urrauge men is for obtaining regular shipments next year. Now this Is of\ngreat Import am i>, us If the Army and Navy\nsiores moke a updololty of our fruit, tho\nother big concerns, such as Hurrod's,\nWhitley's and others, must have them.\nAt first their requirements will be only\nfor special dessert fruit, picked carefully\nand packed In an up to date way. Today\n1 have' a letter from Messrs. Garcia, of\nCovent Garden; they are probably tho\ngreatest and wealthiest fruit merchants\nhere\". I send you the letter. You will seo\nthat they are communicating with Balfour, Williamson & Co., who are their\nagents In Oregon, about the matter. I\nhave just called to dec Mr. Garcia, and\nfind that he knows nil there Is to know\nabout the trade, and wants to take It up,\nas you see be believes most In Newtown\nPippins and Spitz, hut also speaks highly\nof Ghnos. Tho fact Is, Newtowns travel\nbetter than any other apple; the few sent\nlook ns If Just picked. Air. Garcia Is also\nanxious to get pears.\nYou cun understand that such largo concerns as the Army and Navy stores and\nHarrodB would like to do business direct,\nand It can be arranged by me If the growers are Inclined to try the business next\nseason. Will you try to ascertain about\nthis and let me know, so Hint 1 cun advise you as to their requirements? I shall\nreport fully on all fruit we have shown in\nmy next letter, ns to Us packing, suitability for market, etc.\nWo havo sent two boxes of fruit to the\nking for the Children's hospital at Or-\nmond street. 'Hie show of English upples\nwas really ahead of all others, but not\ncompeting; they have had an exceptionally good year.\nIn a letter to tho Hon. R. G. Tutlow,\nMr. Turner states further that the secretary of the Royal Horticultural society\nInformed him that the winning of two\ngold medals In one year was, he believed,\nunprecedented In the history of the society.\nBank Building, Row Street,\nCovent Garden,\nLondon, Dec. 14, IBM.\nJ. H. Turner, Esq., Agent General for\nBritish Columbia, Salisbury House, Fins\nbury Circus:\nDear Slr-Tho Rev. Mr. Wllks, the seo-\nretnry of the Royal Horticultural society,\nhas asked tne lo express my opinion as to\nthe prospects of the English market for\napples from British Columbia. As ono of\nthe judges I bad an opportunity of inspecting the samples at the show on Wednesday evening, and I must compliment you\non the quality and condition of the fruit.\nThe distance from England, however,\nis so great that only two varieties of ap-\nipjes nre likely to give sufficiently remunerative returns to the grower or shipper,\nnamely, Newtown Pippins and Spitz.\nThe Newtown Pippins at the show wero\ncertainly some of tho flnest that 1 havo\nnver seen. We are in tho habit of receiving many thousands of boxes of Oregon\nNewtowns, and I feel sure that yours, If\nnonaged bv experienced people, will bo\nable to compete with them.

Froi Hume Entertained Carriers and\nMessenger Boys\nTho newsboys and messengers of the\nelty wero the guestB of J. Fred Hume to\ndinner at tho Humo hotel last evening.\nTho dinner is an annual affair. Mr. Hume\nextends an Invitation through the newspaper, telegraph und messenger otiicea for\nthe hoys to come. Tho invitation is Invariably accepted.\nYesterday afternoon they began to gather\nin tho office and corridors of the hotel\nat about 4 o'clock. Dinner had been announced for 6 but the extreme pleasure\nshown by his Juvonilo guests and their\nhighly developed capacity for making\nthemselves at home, induced the genial\nproprietor to order tho banouct to begin\na little after 6. The appreciation of tho\ngnosis was imtrlfilr.keri\u00bbde. They wasted\nno time In ldlo speech making or toasts.\nTi-ey had been invited to dine and they\ndid dine. Their program was composed\nmainly of turkey, English plum pudding\nand hot mince pie. It is needless to record tho fact thnt the guests did Justice\nin th<- fare. When they had done their\nbest and could only regret that their capacities were limited, they dispersed with\ncheers for their kindly host.\nTHB HOME HOSPITAL\nEditor The Dally News\u2014There have been\nso mnny false statements mado ot late In\nconnection with the starting of the Homo\nhospital nnd myself thnt I feol it my duty\nto put tho facts before tho public. I do\nthis In Justice lo the Homo hospital and\nthe nurses running it. it is absolutely\nfalso that I withdrew my support rrom\nthe general hospital because I did not like\nthe rules made by the board and started\nthe Home hospital. I was and am yet\nperfectly satisfied to bo governed by tho\nname rules aa oilier physicians (provided\nthe-rules are enforced with all alike) and\nI always complied with the rules. It was\nnot until defencoleFfi nurses, who were\nliked by all tho patients and public in\ngeneral, were dismissed without notice\nwithout being given a chance to defend\n A '\"-frfl*- wining being told\nwhy they wero dismissed that there was\nany talk of a private hospital. The said\nnurses, after being dismissed, naked tho\ndoctors If we would give them support\nIf they started a private hospital, and ull\ntho doctors hut two agreed to do so. 1\nnever had and have not now one cent\ninvested lu tho Institution. It is un enterprise of tho nurses running It and the\nfact that there are now in the hospital\na patient from Ymlr, one from Kovelsioke,\nono from Ainsworth and ono just recently\nleft the hnsjiit.nl for home in Blairmore,\nAlberta, proves that they have made a\nreputation for themselves outside us well\nas in the city. Very sincerely,\nGEO. A. B. HALL.\nDIED OF TYPHOID\nC. R. Bishop Contracted Fever While\nTaking Brother's Body Homo\nWord has been received in tho city thnt\nCyrus It. Bishop died on Monday, Dee.\n28. He came here the first week In December to take home far burial the body\nof his brother, Hartley Bishop. The latter, who was an employee of the CP.lt.\nhere, had died in the Home hospital after\nan operation for appendicitis, word was\nsent lo his homo at Bishop's Corners, near\nDunnvlllo, Clue. Cyrus Bishop came west\nand took his brother's body borne. On\nthu return trip he contracted typhoid\nfever, and died after less than a fortnight's\nIllness.\nREHEARSAL TONIGHT\n\"Erminio\" will be Produced Three Weeks\nFrom Tomorrow\nA full rehearsal of the cast und chorus\nfor \"Ermlnle\" Is called for tonight at 8\no'cldck sharp In St. Saviour's churoh\nschool room. As the first performance of\ntho opera Is to tako place three weeks\nfrom tomordow, it is important that all\ntho members be present at every rehearsal. The progress already made has been\nhighly satisfactory to tho inuslcui director and tlie manager. Much still re-\nmains to be done and every member is expected to do his part to make tho productions entirely successful.\nWHEN W, A. WA8 COLD\nThis Is a political story and It Is true.\n.It also thews a string vein ot lifimdr in\na man who Is usually not credited with it.\nWhen Hon. Thomas Greenwav was premier of Manitoba, Mr. W. A. Macdonald,\nthen of Brandon, now a resident of this\ncity, tho lender of the conservative opposition, ono day made a fundus onslaught on a grant of $100,000 to the Manitoba & Southwestern railway. The placid\nand apparently phlegmatic premier beamed\npleasantly as ono of his young \"cubs\"\nproceeded to defend tho grant. Tho chief\nlino of defence was that It opened up the\ncoal mines at Estovan, giving tho Mnnf-\ntoba farmers access to cheap coal, and as\n_*\u201e .t,. \u00bb..niUT> it.n* Waa nrnvn^ bv the fact\nthat at that very moment the coal was\nbeing used to beat the legislative chamber.\n\"That shows It is of very poor quality,\"\nsuM Mr. Macdonald.\nThen the placid premier, who appeared\nto see nothing, and saw and noted everything, woke up to renewed Interest in the\ndebute, and in a sympathetic voice-, as\ngentle as the cooing of a dove, he enquired, \"Why'.'

Cummings Will Report on Route\nInto the Flathead From Fernlcr\nJ. G. Cummings, provincial land surveyor, has completed ills preliminary survey of the Fetnle road Into the Flathead\nvalley. Mr. Cummings Ih preparing a tnl-\nnuto roport of his Investigations which in\ndue time will be laid before the Femlfl\nboard of trade, saps the Free Press,\nMr. Cummings naturally wishes to withhold the particulars of his Investigation\nuntil his report has been mado but tho\nfollowing general facts were gleaned. The\nparty, after several attempts gavo up the\nproposed route via Martin creek io Michel\nsouth fort and McEvoy creek. This route\nthoi.gh prevlo.isiy recommended by Air.\nClements presented serious dltHOUltlfifl\nwhich portended a heavy cost. Finally\nthey looked for an entirely new route, and\nin Mr. Cummings' opinion they were most\nsuccessful. They followed Coal creek south\nfork lo its bead waters and after crossing\nthe divide they found the headwaters of\nMcEvoy creek within a mile. This they\nfollowed to its Junction witli tho Flathead,\nthrough a comparatively levol valley whore\ntho road construction will prove to be\nqnlto inexpensive. Tho total distance- from\nFernle to the Flathead river by this route\nwill be about 22 miles, and tho total cost\napproximaloiy will bo about $15,000,.\nSIGNS OF FALL\nAs fall nnd winter conic un Clark's delicious Pork and Beans will be more and\nmore asked for.
