Q. MacPherson\nand Ralph Smith in the house last evening severely scored ThomaB Earle for\nhis attitude In connection with the\nChinese question. Mr, Earle moved\nthat no contractor or sub-contractor on\nthe Grand Trunk Pacific should employ\nChinese.\nMr. MacPherson pointed out how Mr.\nEarle had shown very little consistency during his political life so far as\nChlneso were concerned, Mr. Earle was\ncontractor on the E..& N. railway and\nan employer of Chinese labor, the road\nbeing practically built by Chinese. All\nthe time conservatives were In power\nMr. Earie never did anything to help\nwhite labor. Now that there was no \u2022\nchance of Chinamen coming into the\ncountry on account of the $500 poll tax,\nthe opposition said no Chinamen must\nbe employed on the Grand Trunk Pacific\nHe declared that this was not an Issue\nln British Columbia. The question wbh\nas to whether Mr. Earle was for or\nacainst the railway. Tho people of British Columbia know Uiat but for conservatives they would not have had these\nhordes of Asiatics. For his own part\nhe thought a railroad receiving public,\naid should not employ aliens, as British\nsubjects should alone be employed. He\nwould, however, support the amendment.\nMr. Smith said lhat Mr. Earle's contract on the E. & N. railway amounted\nto over one million dollars and that the\nwork was largely done by .Chinamen.\nA man who had done this was not the\nproper person to move such an amendment. After pointing out what the government had done to prevent the Chinese coming Into Canada, Mr. Smith said\nlhat what was wanted wns a law which\nwould Include all companies nnd parties.\nIf Mr. Earle -wanted to support British\nColumbia he would vote for the Grand\nTrunk Pnrific.\nSir Wilfrid Laurleii In the bouse today staled (hat It was the In ten lion of\ntiie government to insert In the general\nrailway law an amendment providing\nthat a majority nf the board of directors of oil the railways operated In\nCanada Bhould be British subjects.\nAMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY.\nIt Much Regrets That Uncle Ram Is\nIncreasing His Navy.\nBoston, Mass., May 18.\u2014\"To extend\nand complete for the whole civilzed\nworld as speedily as possible the pacific Institutions, which are ultimately\nto displace war, and establish universal and permanent peace,\" Is the ambition of the American peace society, as\nannounced in its 76th nnnual meotlng\nheld here today.

MacNoill was not\nsure Just what happened, ho thought the\naetion of tiie two men was simultaneous\nas far as iio could make out. Clark on\nthe other hand, was positive and had\ndeclared that the accused was well started\nfrom the group of men he had been talking to, ou his way to the Ross house,\nwhore he boarded, when the deceased\ncame out of the Vmlr hotel and a.moment\nlater tho encounter took place. Then tfio\njudge told the listening Jury that as a\nmatter of law tlie evidence offered hy the\ncrown would not Justify them hi finding\na  verdict ngainst  the accused,\nHis lordship warmly congratulated Mr.\nMcA<nn on the manner in which he had\npresented llie evidence, lt was the business of the prosecuting counsol to see\nthat all the evidence wns presented to the\ncourt and Jury and Mi-.

The deceased had come\nto his death In what was termed chance\nmedley, a matter that, of course, the licenced would greatly regret hut for which\nit would be difficult if not Impossible to\nblame him. He hoped the accused would\ncontinue to enjoy the reputation of being\na creditable citizen of his country.\nThen Campbell was discharged and a\nmoment later was being congratulated by\nhis brother and friends who were In\nwaiting, and the Ymir homocide case was\na thing  of  the  past.\nRex vs. Edward Aho, alias Edward\nMoi'lUn, charged with manslaughter in\nthe killing of Andrew Johnson, was then\ncalled and the following Jury sworn la\nto try the case: Onslow Newllng, foreman, H.

Afier payday on October 22nd last, when a lot of\nthe employees hail been, drinking and\nquarreling together, some words passed\nund the accused and the deceased went\nout of the building together. A Utile\nlater Alio returned alone and Is .said to\nhave exclaimed, \"Now he is ready, 1 saw\nhim fall to the ground.\" Jobnscn was\nfound Inter with a wound in his forehead\nprobably caused by a stono or a bottle.\nHe was taken to the hospital and operated\nupon, but died a month later from In-\nllamation of the brnln.

He said\nthat when the declaration was taken John-\n*on had said nothing about dying, tn\ntbo declaration was ruled out and the\nJudge lectured tlie Finn Interpreter very\nseverely on his action in the matter.\nThe orown called Dr. Bonnell, John\nl'rossl, Ellas Pttrrkl, police constables Edward Kummer and n ,h, Henderson ami\nWilliam Powoll, The evidftuoo dlscloHod\nthat on  the night of October 22nd  t;.e\naccused, the deceased and a number \u2022*!\nothers Indulged ln a series of lights at\ntheir hoarding house in Michel, all or\nthem being more nr Ichb under tbe In-\nflueneo of liquor.

This was at night time.\nAbu returned alone shortly and made\nthe statement \"Now be Is ready\" or \"It\nIs ready,\" and when some one asked who\nwas ready, replied that he had seen him\nfall lo tbe ground. A eonstuble and foreman Towcll testliled that later when Aho\nwas brought into Johnson's presence, tbe\nlatter exeluimed \"that man fixed me,\" or\n\"tbat man bit me.\" Abo promptly denied the charge and made no attempt to\nleave tbe country to avoid arrest or to\navoid meeting Johnson after the assault.\nOthers who were In the scrap generally\nhave since left the country, notably one\nPohnl. After lingering for a month Johnson died and tbe post mortem showed that\ndeath resulted from a blow on the fore-\nbead  received on the night of the row.\nMr. McAnn summed up briefly but\nthoroughly for the crown, making the most\nof the evidence against the accused. Mr.\nHerchmer iu a speech of some length told\ntbo jury that while there was but little\nevidence to Incriminate his client, the\nInjuries in puestlon might easily have been\nself- indicted or have been done by parties\nother thn.Ti the prisoner, whose conduct\nsince the trouble had been that cf an Innocent  man.\nTh\u00abR*!earned judge will charge the jury\nthis morning at 10:15 and then the two remaining cases of Rex, vs. Wilcox a.nd Rex\nvs. Glllier will be taken up.

A comprehensive\nreview of the church work during the pastorate of Rev. E. H. H. Holman was\nread. This disclosed the following facts:\nThe pastorate began on September 1st, lira\nand since tbat time some <new plans have\nbeen inaugurated, which the pastor considers was beneficial to the Nelson church.\nThe salient features of the administration of Mr.  Holman are as follows:\nFirst\u2014A social club was organised on\nJanuary 1st. called Everybody's club, the\npurposes of which are for tho athletic\nnjid personal self Improvement or th.-\nmembers. The membership of the club\nis now 07. Its effect has been to interest In ihe church a number of young men\nand women, who hitherto had no strong\nor particular church affiliation. The pastor believes that affiliation wllh the club\nhas heen beneficial, morally and in othor\nways, to those belonging to it ami has also\nextended tlie influence of tbe church, as\na percentage of the club members have\nbecome  members of  the  congregation.\nSecond\u2014Throe names hnve been added\nto  the  church   rolls.\nThird\u2014A congregation has been organized in connection with Hie church which\npermits those who are not ready to Join\ntbe church Itself, but who are Interested\nLn Its welfare, to affiliate themselves with\nIts work. This was organized March lf>lh\nand bas now a membership of G7, It is\nanticipated thai tbe membership In this\ncongregation is a stepping atone towards\nthe   conversion   of   Its   members,\nLastly\u2014Through the Influence Of the\nmembers of this congregatlcn. who have\nleft Nelson to work In other portions of\nlie province the influence of tbe church\nhns been extended through most of the\ncamps of the Kootenays, which is evidenced by the huge number of calls Mr.\nHolman Is receiving from visitors from\nthese various places. His whole end and\naim being to extend the Influence of the\nf'ongregntionnl church in this section of\nthe province. The attempt bas been made\nto   adapt    Institutional    m\u00abMlii ds   of   th*\nchurch work to the needs of a constantly\nshifting population like that whicli Is to\nbe found In this section.\nIt was evident from the way the trustees talked that Mr. Holman has their\nfull sympathy and cooperation In the work\nhe Is carrying on.\nThe trustees are Mrs. J.
