Wclb on the\nKootenay Central Railway\n(Special totTho Dally News)\n; Press Gallery, Legislative Assembly,\nVictoria, Feb. 27.\u2014After the house\nrose this afternoon the estimates were\ndiscussed ln a conservative caucus.\nSupply will be brought down tomorrow\nand the government expect to prorogue\nat the end of next week.\nThere was only a short session of the\nlegislature this afternoon and apart\nfrom a speech by W. 0. Wells (Columbia) ln reference to the Kootenay Central Railway, nothing of any Interest\narose. i \u25a0\nSeveral bills were advanced a stage\nand the Columbia & Western Railway\nbill was read a Hrst time.\n* In connection with this bill, it is stated that the members on the government\naide of the house favorable to the re-\n. cognition of the claims of the Midway:\n* Vernon'Railway for a subsidy, will\naot allow it- to go through its second\nreading until these claims are satisfactorily disposed of.\nIt Is supposed that Ave feembers ot the\ngovernment Bide are prepared to take\nthis stand, but Shatford has been called to California on account of the Illness\nof his father, and as he is known to\nbe favorable to the Midway it Vernon,\nthe government's position is strengthened to that extent. \u25a0\nMr. Well, continuing the \"\"adjourned\ndebate on Or. King's resolution calling\nfor certain papers In connection .with the\nKootenay Central Railway company,\n\u25a0aid that his object in asking adjournment waa simply that he might get\nfurther Information as to the real status\nof the company, there being a great dlf-'\nference of opinion as to what their position really was. In order to arrive at\nthe exact position of the company, as ft\nstood today, he briefly went over the\ndifferent statutes affecting the statu, up\nto thla time. In 1901, the company obtained Ita charter by an act of Incorporation from this legislature. During the\nsame session an act was passed by the\nlegislature granting aid to several railway companies under a schedule which\n-comprised the Kootenay Central, entitling that company to a subsidy of\n04,000 a mile. One of the conditions\nunder this subsidy was that the company was to commence construction by\nJuly 1, 1902. Thi. would seem a very\nlimited time within which the company\nwaa to put itself into a position to assume actual constriction, as It is well\nknown what serious difficulties often\nhave to be contended with, and ln surmounting these a few months dr a year\nwill pass by, leaving the company unable to .assert its claim to any subsidy\nwhich may 'be so provided. Thi. is evident by the fact that in 1903 the government brought down I special legislation for the Midway and Vernon railway, and for the Pacific Northern and\nOmineca railway, not only extending\nthe time for construction, but granting\nadditional subsidies as well. It may be\ncontended that this was the time that\nthe Kootenay Central should have secured similar legislation, but there are\nvery substantial reasons why It did not\"\ndo ao. Assurances were then given by\nthe government that at a future session\nsimilar concession would be extended to\nthe Kootenay Central. This Is confirmed by the fact that the directors of the\ncompany met premier Dunsmulr, attorney-general filberts and the agent-general ln London, and received further\nassurances from the premier, culminating In a letter from him, an extract of\nwhich Mr. Wells read, as follow.:\n\"Although I cannot make a definite\npromise, I feel satisfied that If substantial people took the matter up the legislature would renew the subsidy, increasing It to I60OO a mile. With this modification, however, that ln lieu ot cash,\nthe province would give 3 per. cent 60\nyears debentures\u2014inscribed stock of the\nprovince, payable to the company entering Into the contract, upon completion\nof each 20 miles of road.\"\nNow this, said Mr. Wells, Is a pretty\nstrong assurance, given direct from the\npremier, upon which any company under the same circumstances could rest\neasily, feeling sure tbat when the proper time came it would be dealt with,\nwith every degree ot consideration. The\ncompany, however, did not stop here\nand In further evidence of their good\nfaith and determination to carry out\ntheir project secured a charter at Ottawa, and following this, a subsidy under the dominion statutes. An Important condition of thla subsidy, waa that\nthe company ahould be compelled to\nexpend $100,000 within a specified time,\ncentring, he believed, during the coming\nsummer. Thla expenditure la now being\nIncurred and by the time apeclfled will\nreach the .urn of 1160,000 spent In actual work. It la a mlatake Indulged In\nby many, and I may aay by the goors-\nment, that this expenditure I. being Incurred by the Canadian Pacific Railway\ncompany, whereas the very opposite la\nthe case. In fact, there Is a grave misapprehension existing, not only In the\nminds of the people, but evidently with\nthe government that the, Canadian Pacific have practically taken over the\ncharter of this company, with all Its\nrights and privileges. ThlB la what may\nhe understood from some of the remarks\nmade by the premier yesterday when he\nassured the house that the early construction of this road might be looked\nforward to. The fact ot the matter Is\nthat the premier presumed to have\nknowledge of certain facta which no one\nelse had any knowledge of, not even\nthe Candlan Pacific or the Kootenay\nCentral people, and upon that the premier took the extraordinary position that\ninasmuch as the road was to be built by\na subsidiary company of the Canadian\nPaclflc, that It would not be entitled to\nany aid. If the premier haa any knowledge of such facts as would warrant him\nmaking such a statement to this house\nhe Bhould take' the house at once Into\nhis confidence and state what they are.\nBut the real fact ot the matter Is, it Is\nonly a presumption on his part, apparently for the purpose of letting the government out of what should be considered a solemn obligation on their part\nMr. Wells said with utmost confidence,\nknowing what he was talking about,\nI that no such contract existed between\nthese two corporations, \u2022 which guaranteed the construction of the Kootenay\nCentral. There unmistakably was an\nunderstanding that the C. P. R. would\naid the Kootenay Central In its financial matters, either by guaranteeing\ntheir bond, or otherwise, but this was\nbased positively upon the condition that\nthe Kootenay Central should receive\naid from both the dominion and provincial governments, without which it-\nwould be impossible for them to render\nany assistance no matter how much disposed they might be to do so. So lhat\nthe position of the Kootenay Central today Ib that unless there Ib some further-\nassurance that aid will be granted this\nwhole scheme will fall to the ground.\nMr. Wells stated that the fixed\ncharges upon tbe government? for a subsidy would probably mean 130,000, Including a sinking fund, a rather insignificant sum which would in a short\ntime be fully compensated for by additional revenue, to say nothing ot the\nImmense advantages accruing from the.\ndevelopment of the country. Mr. Wells\nfurther stated that he could not understand the attitude taken by the premier\nin the face ot his remarks at a meeting\nheld ln Fernle in the summer, ot 1901\nwhen a railway policy was promised at\na summer session, which It waa Intended should be held, and when the position\nand the claims of the Kootenay Central\nwould receive due consideration. 'The\npremier had really no more knowledge\nof the facts surrounding this whole\nQuestion today than he had at that time\nand had no more reason to tell thla\nhouse (hat we could look forward to the\nearly completion of this road, Independently of any assistance.\nA letter was also read by Mr. Wells\nfrom the premier to .Mr. Pitts, of Windermere itt reply to certain resolutions\nforwarded asking that aid should be\ngiven to the Kootenay Central. Here,\nsaid the member for Columbia, was a\nstill further assurance of the premier,\nand It would only be consistent on hi.\npart that these assurances should be\ncarried out, If they meant anything at\nall. ThlB company was not iu a position today to demand ot the government\nthe bringing down of legislation putting\nit in the same position as the Midway &\nVernon railway. But it has, nevertheless, an absolute right to demand of the\ngovernment that the assurance, given\nby its predecessors, and the assurances\ngiven by the premier as well, that substantial aid shall be given, and tbat\nwhenever a railway policy Is brought\ndown Involving assistance to railway\nconstruction In this province, the Kootenay Central will be entitled to the consideration of the government This Is\nreally the position which the premier\nshould take Instead of the one which\nhe advanced to this house when speaking to the motion,\nMr. Wells stated tbat It was of the\nutmost Importance that all the petitions\nwhich have been pouring In upon the\ngovernment should be brought down,\nshowing as they would, not only the Interest which the people of Columbia valley are taking, but the agitation which\nhas been going on there now for some\nyears. Following this tt was the duty\nincumbent upon this government or any\nother government, to deal fairly wtth\nthe Kootenay Central,\nThe motion tor the return of the papers was then adopted without further\ndebate.\nFATAL EXPLOSION\nBirmingham, Feb, 27-A report has reach,\ned tills city that nn explosion In the mines\nat Piper.

Subsequently upon Anderson's returning west, aud visiting\nLarsen at Spokane, this agreement was\ncancelled, Larsen deciding that it was\nnot advisable to accept cash from the\ncompany..\nWhat alternative arrangement was arrived at to Induce Anderson to forego\nhis share ln the, $40,000 .was not disclosed. Anderson said that Bodwell\nknew of this agreement, and waa not\nsure that he, Bodwell, drew up the\nagreement In any event he saw It before It was signed.\nW. & Gore, formerly deputy chief\ncommissioner was examined.

The demand upon\nretail yards has left their supply somewhat scant, and there is every reason to\nexpect a good spring trade. Price cutting Is now little heard of, while on the\nother hand advances are in some Instances being asked. The quotations of\nthe mountain manufacturers of British\nColumbia are now more In line with\nthose of the coast mills, but considering the cost of production, are still low,\nand a further advance seems fully warranted. The stocks at the mills, however, are quite large, and it Is doubtful\nwhether any change will be made in the\nnear future.

J. Balfour* was\ntoday elected to the house of commons\nlor the city of London by a majority of\n11,340 over his liberal free trade opponent, Thomas Gibson Bowles. The vote\nwas a strictly party one, the candidates\nreceiving fewer votes than were cast for\nthe conservative and liberal nominees at\nthe general elections, when tho conservative majority was 10,300. Mr. Balfour,\nwho is not well, was unable to appear at\nthe Guild Hall where the votes were\ncounted, but was represented by Miss\nBalfour, who, in a speech, thanked the\nelectors on behalf ot her brother. Tho\nresults of the election was a foregone\nconclusion. There was no celebration.\nThe election figures were: Arthur J.\nBalfour, unionist, 15,474; Thomas Gibson Bowles, liberal, 4,134; unionist majority, 11,340. At the recent election the\nsuccessful candidate A. G. H. Glbbs,\nunionist, polled 16,tI13 votes, while his\nliberal opponents, P, O. Schauster and\nsir John ftldgeway polled 5313, and\n5064, respectively.\nThe bye-election was robbed of much\nof its expected excitement by the illness of Mr. Balfour, whole doctor has\nordered him to remain iu bed. Mr. Balfour's health has not been satisfactory\nfor some time and Is complicated by\nweakness of the heart. Yesterday evening, after a meeting ln the city, he suffered from an over-friendly buffeting on\nthe part of the great crowd of people\nwho desired to shake hands with him.\nExhaustion led to a chill and the doctor peremptorily cancelled all the former\npremier's engagements.\nDEATH OF SANDFORD .MILLS\nOld Resident of Nelson Succumbs to Pneumonia\u2014 Funeral Today\nIt was with general sorrow und regret\nthat citizens learned yesterday morning\nof the death of Sundford Mills, which occurred at S o'clock iu tho Kootenay Lnko\ngeneral hospital, where lie was takn Sunday afternoon, suffering from pneumonia\nand -bronchitis.

J. DBANB\nADVERTISE NELSON\nThe executive committee of the 20,000\nclub appoiuted at the public meeting in\ntho opera house on Monday night have\ntheir work cut out for them if they are\nto achieve a marked success this season,\nnnd a marked success this season can\nonly be obtained by adopting a plan\ncovering the next three or four years\nin its working out.\nThe members of the committee will\nnaturally meet with some obstacles at\nfirst and with good people who will be\nlukewarn In their support of the work\nundertaken or even opposed to it. One\nlias only to recall what happened in\nNelson a very short time back to under Btand t lie position often taken by\n\u25a0well meaning citizens when a new move\n]\u2022* first talked of. When the Nelson exhibition was first spoken of plenty of\npeople smiled in a superior sort of way\nand suggested all manner of reasons\n\u25a0why such an undertaking could not succeed. Others were either Indifferent or\nexceedingly lukewarm in their support\nand U those who really founded the\nFair had relied entirely on public opin\nion ns it existed almost to the day the\nfirst exhibition was held, Nelson would\nnot have a Fall Fair today.\nFortunately those who were behind\nthis particular enterprise had plenty of\npluck as well as plenty of good business\nenterprise and, undaunted by the want\nof enthusiasm of some of their fellow\ncitizens, they persevered with the undertaking, we all know with what excellent results. Would any resident of\nNelson desire to abolish the exhibition\nnow?\nThe Publicity committee will probably\nbe told very much as the originators of\nthe exhibition were, that their best laid\nplans can not succeed, that advertising\nthe oitj\" and district is quite unnecessary, and finally that someone else,\nmodesty preventing the mention of\nnames, could do the work much better.\nOnce, however, let success crown the\nefforts of the real workers and the good\ncritics will tumble over each other to\nJoin in the procession, just as they did\nln the case of the exhibition. The publicity scheme appears to have been\ntaken up in the right spirit and the promoters are losing no time in preparing\ndetails. Their efforts should be promptly and loyally backed up from the sjart.\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nSo Anderson and Larsen were to receive the modest sum ln cold cash of\n$40,000 from the Grand Trunk Pacific\npeople, ln the event of the Kaien island\nlands becoming the railway's western\nterminal. .That I* what Mr. Anderson\nTHE\nROYAL BANK OF CANADA\nTOTAL ASSETS, $36,873,676 I\nHEAD OFFIGE: HALIFAX, ITS.,\n..$3,000,000 Reserve Fund $3,437,162\nCapital..\nSAVINQS BANK DEPARTMENT ,\nAccounts ot firms and Individuals opened on the most favorable terms.\nThirteen Branches In'British Columbia. \u2014\nSpecial attention to out of town 'business.\nT. 6.

Clark, K.C., of\nToronto nnd J. B. Tyrrell, of Dawson.\nThe secretary H. Mortimer Lamb, in his\npaper, calls attention to the present-necessity for the establishment of a federal department of mines, in the hope\nthat ttie institute, if his views are endorsed, will take official action In bringing jto the notice of the government the\nclaims of the mining Industry for recognition in this regard.

This will probably\nhave thc effect of excluding an annual\nImportation of about 10,000 tons which\nare now shipped Into the United States\nfrom Mexico and British Columbia.\nThe decision of .the government on\nthis matter is the direct result of aglta-\nAUCTION SALE\n\u00bb -....- .. , _,\u201e\nThe Auction Sale will be continued this afternoon at 2:30\nand every afternoon this week until everything is sold.\nStore open from. 8 a. m. to 2 p. m.\n| Everything at Your Own Prices.

A vigorous campaign was at once\nInstituted with thc result above, an-'\nnounced. Quite naturally the smelters\nof zinc ores are not in sympathy with\nthe ruling and will probably bring a\ntest suit to determine the legality of the\naction. While it is unforunate that the\nproducing and consuming interests are\nnot a unit on this matter, it is probably\none that will work ont its own solution\nIn time. If the producers are at present Inclined to put the price of concentrates too high, and have no foreign\nores to compete with they may And a\nfalling off in the demand for their article owing to a smaller export trade\nwhich will be taken care of by the producers which they exclude from the\nUnited States. In this way a general\nlevel should bo reached on which both\nproducer and consumer may stand.and\nwork at a profit.\nUndoubtedly tjie increase in the zinc\nindustry in the western slates has come\nat a most opportune time, and it Ib possible that the producers of this one-time\nrejected ore have become over-confident\nln their prosperity and have failed to\nconsider the future and* all Its possibilities. It must he admitted, however, that\nowing to the Increased use ot the metal\nand the fact that it is replacing other\nmetals in a number of industrial applications, the future looks exceedingly*\nbright and the producers, of the ore can\nscarcely be blamed for an optimistic'\nview of the situation.\nGREENWOOD MINING DEAL.\nOwners of Strathmore Mine Get American Capitalists.

For some time past the\ndevelopment of this property has been\nhandicapped for want of sufficient funds\nand after consultation a majority of the\nlarge shareholders decided that it would\nbe in the best interests of the company\nto form an alliance with some successful aud financially strong corporation.\nThe directors immediately took steps\nto interest American capitalists, with\nthe result* that the Strathmore was sold\nto the Helen Mining Co., of Chicago.\nThe Strathmore shareholders have transferred their shares to the Helen Mining company and have received Helen\nMining company shares in payment, so\nthey now hold interests in both the\nStrathmore and Helen mines.

KU-AOIB\nPREMIER AT TORONTO\nSIR WILFRID'S ADDRESS TO THE\nUNIVERSITY STUDENTS\nCANADA'S RELATIONS WITH THE\nMOTHERLAND\nNILflON, B. 0.\nThe following pen Bketch of sir Wilfrid\nLaurler as he appears today and of the\naddress he made at the Toronto university\" dinner last week, taken from the\ncolumns of the Toronto News will be\nread with interest.\nOver a generation ago sir John A.\nMacdonald waa a guest at the annual\ndinner of the University of Toronto, but\nit was when the' tide had turned against\nhim, and before he had evolved that policy that was to bring it back, returning\nin greater flood than was its ebb.\nTwenty' years afterwards sir Charles\nTupper was the students* guest,, but it\nwas when the sceptre of power had been\ndashed from his grasp never to return.\nTherefore, it remained for sir Wilfrid\nLaurier to he the flrst premier of the dominion to dine with the students. Their\nappreciation, of the honor was more\nknown to him in no halting terms in the\nTemple building last night.\nWhile the grey hairs were fast turning to white; while the face showed\nsigns of the struggle that ten years had\nbrought ; the more intense, the greater\nthe outward triump had been\u2014in tlio\nlines that had grown deeper and a certain pallor that overpspread the countenance; there was no abatement of the\nsoft, silvery flow of words that seemed\nbo easily, so simply to fashion themselves Into the eloquent ' periods that\nbrought forth storms of applause; It\nwas not as the flow of onrushiug waters,\nturgid, rampant, waving, but of tbe\ncurrent, swift, smooth gliding, aiiudst\nsilent, but deep add powerful.\nPicturesque in look and picturesque\nin language was sir Wilfrid Laurier, but\nit is the quaintness of the accent of his\nbirth than draws the llrst attention\nfrom his opening word. Is it fact, or is\nIt fancy that leads one to think thut\nthe slurring of tbe '%\" the throwing\nforward of the emphasis, and others of\nthe traits ot his mother tongue are\ngrowing more marked as his years advance? But save this accent, there Is\nnaught else to withhold from sir Wilfrid\nLaurler the meed for a complete mastery of the English tongue. In no\nother element Is tbls recognized more\nthan In the nicety of his exresslous, tlie\nfine distinctions of his choice of words.\n\"We do not yet make commercial treaties,\" he told the students; \"it is uot a\n'right,' not a 'privilege,' but a \"convenience' tbat we may have as soon us we\nlike.\nBut a description of the premier's\npowers of oratory would be unnecessary and trite.\nThe address of sir Wilfrid Laurler\nwas, as indeed were all those of the\nevening, absolutely devoid of party politics. Spending but a couple of sentences ln graceful acknowledgment of\nthe occasion of his visit, he at once\nmounted to a high level of thought, with\nmuch earnestness drawing a vivid picture of the evolution of the relation between the parent state and the colony,\nuntil the Canada of today was reached,\nwhere, he declared, \"we have no grievance, all our relations with Great Britain are perfectly satisfactory; if the Institutions have to be changed the change\nwill be in the Hue of union\u2014union for\nthe wlifle, coupled with autonomy for\ntbe parts.\"\nIt was undoubtedly to the presence of\nthe students that was duo the analogy\nthe premier drew of the Roman empire\nwith the British, and there was a bright\nlight In the eyes of professor Hutton,\nwho sat next the speaker, as he thought\nof the renaissance, at least of the Latin\ntongue, that would result from theso\nhistorical allusions, in an age whore\npracticality runs rife.\nThe despotism, concentration, absorption of all parts ln a single mass of the\nearlier empire, were portrayed in the\nlurid light of its fate, a crumbling to\npieces, and, sot over against this, tho\nfreedom, the decentralization, the autonomy of the British empire that would\nlive for ever.\nBu t it was not with his oloquent\ndrawing of the contrast between the\nmother land and the crumbled Roman\nempire, nor between Canada as the colony of that mother land, and the Roman province, that wrought his nudience\nto their highest pitch of enthusiasm; it\nwaa the quick turn from the leaf of\n\"profane\" to sacred history, as he put\nln the mouth of Canada the words of\nRuth the Moabito to Naomi, in all their\nquaint simplicity and depth of feeling:\n\"Whither thou goest I will go, and\nwhere thou lodgest I will lodge; thy\npeople shall bo my people and thy God\nmy Gofi.*''\nAnd when he had drawn tho picturo\nof the position of Canada today and\nthe Ideal that waa set before her, he\nturned to the students and Mid: \"It\nHAIR NATURALLY ABUNDANT.\nWLeii It 1* Free of Dandruff, It Grtmn\nLuxuriantly,\nHair preparations and dandruff cures,\nas a rulo, arc sticky or .Irritating alfnira\nthat do no earthly good, Hiilr, when not\ndiseased, gro-sys naturally, luxuriantly.\nPundruff if* tho c-nise of nino-dentlis of\nnil'hair trouble, and dandruff Is caused\nby a germ..

So far the work done la mainly\nlead separation on the ores of the tfiue\nBell mine.\nG. O. Buchanan, lead Bounty commissioner, says that the work at Pilot Bay\nIs the moat Importtint and Interesting ot\nall recent developments in the mining industry In the Kootenays. He considers\nthat the volume of the work and Its value,\nare at least equal to what is being accomplished at the Sullivan mine and the\nMarysvllie smelter.\nC. Fernau, interviewed on the subject,\nsaid that the product of the smelter is now\najbout 100 tons of lead concentrates a flay,\naveraging about 78 per cent.\nImprovements arc ibeing made constantly\nand the output will probably be increased\nln the. early future.\nA very' Interesting feature of the work\nIs a new process adopted by Mi*. Fernau for\nseparating Iron from other'ores. It la\nsomewhat simpler than the Ding machine\nused In G. Alexander's separator at Kaslo,\nand la believed to be equally efficient.\nIn the Ding process Iron Is extracted\nfrom the stream of ore flowing down the\ntable by a wheel with attached bars magnetized by an electric current, revolving\nrapidly just above the table. Particles of\nIron are attracted to the bars and deposited at the side where the magnetic\ncurrent does not operate.\n\u25a0Mir. Fernau's arrangement substitutes\ncolls of magnetized wire along the sides of\nthe table for the revolving wheel. As the\npulverised ore runB down the tatoie, the\nIron in It la drawn: to the sides, while the\nother ore, lead or zinc, goes down the\ncenter.\nIn reply to a question as to the source\nof his ore supply, Mr. Fernau said that he\nwarf prepared now to receive custom ore\nfor treatment, and had already received\nsmall quantities, but that the smelter was\nrunning chiefly on Blue Bell ore.\nTURN DOWN CARNEGIE\nLively Debate Held In'the Churchmen's\nMonday Night on Proposed Library\nA lively debate wait held in the Churchmen's club Monday on the question or\nthe proposed Carnegie library, resulting\nIn the maintainors of the negative being\nsustained by a narrow majority. The\nspeakers in favor of the Carnegie library,\nMessrs. W. Ebbs and G. Johnstone, dilated upon the benefits that were to be\nderived from a library tor educational\npurposes and the asset it would be to a\nfirst class city, such ao Nelson aspired to\ntoe. As to the question of \"tainted money\"\nboth speakers averred that money was\ntaken for money and the use to which It\nwas put purified the source.\nOn the other side Messrs. H. E. Croas-\ndalle and A. W, Dyer said It had yet to\nbe shown that the city wanted a library,\nthe support given to the one already existent being woefully poor, only 100 dil-\nferent people attending during the whole\nof 1806. Further, that money should not\nbe taken from a man who had deliberately\nvilified Canada, nor money that came\nthrough the exploitation of men, women\nand children. In reply Mr. Ebbs-declared\nthat the lack of support ot the present\nlibrary was an added reason for a better\nand new building. People who didn't \"He\ngoing to the old postofflce. did like going\nto the new, because It was well lighted.\nAs for \"tainted money.\" Mr. Ebbs reiterated that everybody was after the dollar, that nobody cared whence It came and\nthat after all Carnegie compared favorably\nwith his class, thc world not being so\nparticular today as It was -10 years ago..\nAfter the ddbate >F. W. Thomas, travelling secretary for the Brotherhood of Bt.\nAndrew, addressed the club on his travelis\nover -tne length and breadth of the dominion, congratulating Nelson on its new institution and promising to advertise its\nexample to other Canadian cities.\nThe evening opened and closed with some\nbanjo selections from \u25a0Messrs.

It has always beeu the custom\nJn the past for a French' Canadian to\nsecond the address, so that in tills case.\nthere has been a departure iu favor\nof an English-speaking member.\nAn order-ln-councll was passed yesterday appointing commissioners to investigate life insurance in Canada. The\ncommission will be Judge McTavIsh, of\nOttawa, (chairman); J. W. Langmulr,\nof Toronto, managing director of the\nToronto General Trusts Corporation,\nand A. L. Kent, of Kent & Turcotte, accountants, Montreal. ,\nA cable from London says that Judgment was delivered before tile imperial\nprivy council today on the appeal of the\nattorney general of British Columbia\nversus the Canadian Pacific Railway?\nSir Arthur Wilson delivered the judgment and in concluding said: \"It Is\nenough to say that the language of the\nC. P. R. Act must prevail over that of\nthe Consolidated Railway Act, which\napplies only so far as it Is not inconsistent with the special act, and it is clear\nin their lordship's opinion .that the power given to the company to appropriate\nforeshoreB for the purposes ol their\nrailway, of necessity includes the right\nto obstruct any rights of passage previously existing across that, foreshore:.\nThe appeal should be dismissed. The\nappellant will pay costs.\"\nHon. H. R. Emmerson, minister of\nrailways, says that the Intercolonial\nworkshops destroyed by flre last Saturday night at Moncton, N. B., will be rebuilt on the old grounds, and he intends to continue at the head of the\nrailway department.\nMr. Emmerson denies that politics\nnrevail in appointments to the Intercolonial railway, \"ln almost every\nbranch of the service,\" he said, we are\nbound to the rules and regulations of\nthe several brotherhoods with respect to\nappointments, pay and promotion W6\ncan scarecly move a step, except in accordance with these agreements, which\nSave been especially effective during\nthe last eight or ten years, and are: all\nthetlme becoming more general In their\napplication. The principle of .P\u2122notton\nlithe ono that governs. If there are\nany exceptions from the rules, to which\nI have referred they are the clerical\nstaffs and the laborers. But even in the\n?o?mer case Promotion has come to be\nihe governing principle. To those who\nSeg?ha[ the8 Iuterc61onlal should be\nlianded over to a commission, I say,\nwhat IB to become of responsible government' Are wo to cast to one side the\nSous privilege which we fought so\nhard to obtain? But even if we wore\nS, have administration by commission,\nand I contend that it is better to maintain the system as It is at present, the\ngovernment would still con lnuei to experience the effects ot popular dissatisfaction, would still have to submit to\ncriticism. The minister of railway* has<\ninaugurated economies \"which are already bearing fruit in increased earn-\nnKB and reduced expenditures. It Is\nalso about to institute other changes,\nwhich he believes will tend to still further improve the Intercolonial's financial standing. Is It unfair to aak thai\nin the meantime criticism by the press\nbased on the old condition of things\nshould be suspended? I think not Let\nthe policy of economy and of reform,\nwhich has scarcely been more than\nlaunched, be given a fair trial. If that\nJs done I feel convinced we shall be able\nto put the Intercolonial on a paying\nbasts, and at the end of two years convert a deficit into a surplus.\"\n'Mr. Eromerson's attention was drawn\nto the Grand Trunk Pacific's application\nto build branch lines to St. John and\nHalifax. Mr. Emmerson seemed to regard such plans as Inimical to the Intercolonial,' ami tie said that action to\nprotect the best interests of the government line would be adopted.\nRALLY FOLLOWS BREAK\nSTOCK QUOTATIONS DECLINE BUT\n.
