APRIL 8,   I9|(i\nNO. 302\nISSUE JOINED\n\/^\nOpposition to Monopoly\nin Insurance\nUnderwriters Also Submit\nEvidence\nInquiry Into Conditions in\nThis City\nThe issue between the flre underwriters and the ordinary insurers waa\njoined at tbe two sittings of the royal\ninsurance commission at Nelson yesterday. At the morning sitting the\nNelson board of trade lined up with\nthe, opponents of the draft bill proposed by the underwriters, on the\nground that the legislation would tend\nto strengthen or establish a monopoly.'\nThe board's case was presented by F.\nA. Starkey, and Mayor SelouB gave\nreasons why he regarded the fire Insurance rates charged Nelson as excessive. The representative of tbe underwriters, though not on the stand\nduring the morning, \/were prominent ln\nexamining the witnesses. In the afternoon Mr. Giles submitted the case for\nthe underwriters, and Mr. Anstie supplemented the case for the lumbermen,\nas presented by himself the previous\nday. There were a number of spectators, chiefly insurance men and members of the bar.\nIt is probable that today's proceedings will wind up the sessions for the\ninterior, as no outside witnesses are\npresenting themselves.\nThe two hour morning session opened at 11 o'clock, with R. S. Lennle, D.\nH. Macdowall and A. B. Erskine sitting as the commission, A. W. Robb, A.\nWaring Giles and J. H. Lawson jr., being present on behalf of the under-\nwaters. -        ,\nWelcome to Commiiilon.\n. - Thp^tas\u00ab|tto\u00abi\" w*b P. A .^ttjvkey,\npresident of the Nelson board of trade,\nand of the Associated Boards of Trade\nof Eastern British Columbia, Before\nbeginning his evidence, Mr. Starkey\nsaid he wiBhed to extend a hearty welcome to the commission, on behalf pf\ntbe people of Nelson and the Kootenay\nto thank the governtaent for Its action\nin appointing the commission, and to\ncongratulate the government on Its\npersonnel.\nIn acknowledgment, Commissioner\nLennle, the chairman, said it was a\nhappy circumstance that up to the\npresent, no criticisms of the commission had been uttered. The\" commissioners bad started out on a certain\ncourse, which they intended to continue. It would give him pleasure to\ntransmit to the government the sentiments of the board-of trade and people, as expressed by Mr. Starkey. The\nquestion tbe commission was charged\nto investigate was an exceedingly important one. They hoped to have testimony adduced at Nelson that would\nmaterially assist the commissioners in\nforming their conclusions,\nCharges Monopoly.\n' In beginning his testimony, Mr.\nStarkey said the Nelson board of trade\nopposed the proposed insurance bill as\nsubmitted, on the ground that It would\nassist a monopoly. The board of trade\nhad endeavored to secure a reduction\nof rates, but without avail. In 1908 a\ngreat effort had been made, but the\nunderwriters submitted demands that\nwere thought ridiculous, and the matter fell through. Some of these demands were for hydrants every 260\nfeet, an augmented police force, nine\nmore men for the fire brigade, a new\nsteel, flume, dam and Intake pipe,\nand other demands.\nPermanent Commission.\nThe Nelson board of trade did not\nWish to make recourse to a foreign\ncountry, but it felt obliged to object to\nany legislation Increasing the (monopoly\nof the home underwriters. The board\nbelieved tbat a commission ought to\nbe appointed, with powers similar to\nthose of the railway commission, which\nwould regulate the Insurance companies. , Thla plan, In the opinion of\nthe board, would be the most satisfactory method of administering this\nnecessary control. \u201e\nChairman Lennle read the correspondence between the Nelson board\nof trade, and A, W. Ross, secretary of\nthe British Columbia Flre Underwriters association, in 1908, embracing the\nnegotiations for a reduction In the Neleon rates. Among the grounds enumerated by the board, aa reasons why\nthe rates should be reduced, was that\nthe fire department had been taken out\nof politics. The correspondence*showed that the underwriters offered a reduction of 0 1-10 per cent, on brick\nbuildings, if the city would make -tbe\nimprovements already enumerated. The\ncorrespondence was dropped by the\njj Nelson .board, Mr. Starkey explaining\nto the commission that the city found\nthe :|fiprovements would cost $9000,\nwhich was prohibitive.\nMr. Starkey claimed that the underwriters had unduly discriminated\nagainst NetBon, placing it in almost the\nlowest possible   class of community,*\nClass \"C,\" to which was added a penalty of 10 per cent.\nHow a Rate li Fixed.\nThiB Introduced the question of how\nthe underwriters arrived at a given\nrate, and It was discussed more or less\nall day. Mr. Ross stated that there\nwas no Class \"C\" which was the term\nMr. Starkey had used, but that the\nrate for Nelson was based upon Book\nIII. This was the standard also for\nVictoria and Vancouver. The latter\ncity's rate was Book HI. iless 15 per\ncent.\nMr. Ross then explained in detail the\nprocess of fixing a rate. Nelson being classified as .to lbs character, as\na Book III community, the rate for the\ncity, if it were a standard city, would\nbe 1 per cent, or fl on the hundred.\nThe Book III schedule would then be\napplied, and ln every case of departure from standard, a certain number\nof points penalty would be added.\nWater supply, water pressure, the existence or absence of a duplicate main,\nthe size of the police force, the size of\nthe fire brigade per 1000 population,\nand its character, whether paid or volunteer, the number of hydrants, the\namount and character of the flre apparatus, windy locality, proportion of\nbrick and frame buildings, exposure,\nand numerous other factors, general or\nspecial, affected the rate. For example,\na standard ctty had hydrants every 250\nfeet, and had a pressure in the flre\nmains of 80 pounds. Owing to various failures to come up to the standard, the Nelson rate for a standard\nbuilding, which consisted of the basis\nrate plus tbe sum of the penalties,\namounted to $1.10. This was the system on which all insurance rates, in\nevery community, were built up. In\nthe case of individual buildings In\nNelson, the Nelson rate of Book III\nplus 10 per cent would be the rate\non a standard building, departures\nfrom type being penalized in the same\nway.\nOne Standard City.\nIty* answer to Com-mtssloner Lennle,\nMr. Giles, president of the British Columbia Underwriters association, stated that there was one standard city in\nthe Dominion\u2014Walkerville, Ont.\nCommissioner Lennle asked what\nwas the difference between having\nhydrants every 250 feet, and having\nthem 300 feet, if in the latter case\nthere was plenty of hose, as was the\ncase in Nelson. Mr. Ross replied that\n250 feet was the standard requirement, and It could not be departed\nfrom. Hydrants were also cheaper\nthan hose in the long run, for their\nonly cost was the first cost.\n,^omml\u00ab&.,1on<,r Lennie\u2014Why   cannot\nyblfjfopa-ft fi-oSfi the 250. feet standard\nin such a case?   There is no one to\ncontrol you.\n... No Deduction -Unless Charge. ,\nThe chairman also asked .if the underwriters had raised the Nelson rate\nbecause there had been politics\nln the flre department. Mr. Ross explained that the removal of the flre\ndepartment from politics could not he\na cause for lowering the rate, for no\nincrease had previously been made on\nthat account. Every deduction in a\nrate presupposed a prior charge on account of some departure from standard. He read from his correspondence\nwith the Nelson board of trade, showing various respects in which the city\nwas not standard.\nCommissioner Lennle asked if Nelson's 10 year immunity from serious\nfire was not a ground on which some\ndeductions should be made. Mr. Giles\nreplied that If the Immunity continued\nlong enough, probably it. would become\na factor' in the rate. But there was\nno provision in the schedules for\nreckoning that point, and it had not\nyet arisen in the history of fire insurance ln Canada.\nMr. Ross stated to Commissioner\nLennie that, with changes In conditions, changes were made in the rate\n\u25a0for a particular city from time to time.\nHe was unable to state when the rate\nfor Nelson was last re-adjusted.

B. Mc\nCoil, who had in hand the opposition to\nthe measure In,.the shape of an amendment of length which1 dealt with, the\nvarious clauses of the Miller bill, began\nto strike the vital spots of the legislation of the member for South Grey with\nthe dagger of his amendments. On the\nfirst clause being put Mr. McCoill moved\nthat lt be struck out.\nFirst Clause Killed\nAmid a scene of great excitement\nIreadB were counted, there being no\nregular division as the house was in\ncommittee, but a standing vote. The\nfirst clause was killed by the narrow\nmajority of 78 to 77. It was then that\nthe death knell of, the bill began to toll.\n**   Another\" Assassination','\"J\nOn section two Mr. McColl made a\nsimilar motion that it be struck out.\nMr. Miller moved an amendment io this\nthat the clause be changed with respect\nto the meaning of the word \"place,\"\nwhich has been such a feature of the\ndiscussion. Mr. Miller's amendment was\nnegatived by 87 to 74 and clause two\nwas struck out by S5 to 75.\nTrench Canadians Solid\nThe votes were not by any means\nconfined to party lines. Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier, Mr. Fielding, Mr. Lemleux and\nMr. Patterson voted with Mr. Miller as\ndid Mr. Borden and many other Conservatives particularly from Ontario. The\nThe French Canadian vote, hotwever,\nwas almost solid in opposition to the\nbill.\nReport Progress\nAfter becoming seized, of the feeling\nOf the house in regard to his bill, Mr.\nMiller conceived tbe idea of putting it\nout of its pain with his own hand by\nmoving that the committee rise. This,\nof course, if carried would have meant\ninstant .death. It also meant that it\n\u25a0would defeat the aims of those who\nreally desired to better the law with regard to race track gambling and the\nshortening of the terms of meetings\nby substituting the McOoll amendment.\nMr. Fielding suggested that Mr. Miller\nshould change his motion to one that\ntbe committee \"rise, report progress and\niask leave to sit again.\" This would\nleave a slight breath of life iu Its body\nwhich might have been fanned into\nactivity at some remote period. There\nwas opposition to Mr. Miller's first motion on the part of those who desired\nto go on with the bill substituting there-\nEon* the McColl amendments but finally\nafter much contusion Sir -Wilfrid Laurier suggested after the Miller motion\nmere'y to rise had been declared lost,\nthat progress be reported. Mr. McColl\nagreed with this suggestion, remarking\nthat It might be possible for the two\nparties to get together in the future and\ncome to an agreement on legislation\nalong the lines of his amendments.\nThere were some stirring exchanges\nbetween Mr. Lancaster and Mr. Miller,\nthe former accusing the promoter of\ntlie bill of being insincere in his efforts\nto regulate gambling by his refusal to\naccept Mr. McColl's amendments.\nDid Very Well \/\nSir Wilfrid Laurier stated that every\none wanted an early prorogation and he\nthought that the house had done very\nwell with two days' talk on the matter.\nHe could not, however, promise that a\nfurther opportunity for anti-race track\ngambling legislation would be given tills\nsession. He did not think tbey should\nbe asked to do-more than was done. In\nthe event of the two sides effecting a\ncompromise something might possibly\nbe done. The premier, however, could\nnot say anything definite on this -point.\nEveryone should bo anxious to facilitate business.\nLoud Cheers\nThe motion to report progress can-led\namid loud cheers, especially from the\nFrench Canadian contingent who have\nwaited faithfully for two days to give\nthe conge to this measure.\nBill Hopeless\nThe result of tonight's vote showed\nthere was no hope of the Miller bill as\ndrafted becoming law.   To save this\nbill from being entirely swallowed up\nby the McColl amendments and to prevent these amendments from carrying\nMr. Miller quit'the saddle, thereby calling down several strictures on his conduct from those who really desired\nsome restrictions of the race track betting, which the McColl substitute bill\ncontained.\nGalleries Crowded\nTbe galleries were crowded all day\nand the debate -which -was a repetition\nof arguments on both sides was listened to attentively. The Miller bill had\nthe effect of dividing up the parties pro\nand con as a -bill seldom does and tonight's voting was spectacular In its\ncurious mingling of Grit and Tory\nAfter the premier's word nothing more\nwill be heard of the Miller bill this session, as the promoters have strenuously\nfought the McColl amendments. There\nis a general feeling of relief that the\nmatter has been disposed of.\nAPPOINTMENTS ARE\nANNOUNCED\nNelson   Agency   Not   in   List\u2014Fernle,\nGolden, Cranbrook and Trout\nLake Officials\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nVICTORIA, April 7\u2014Included among\nthe appointments to the provincial service announced today are:\nGeorge F.

As was the case with the Union\nbank, the Borough was obliged to suspend during the panic of 1907 and was\nre-organized after the panic was over.\nThe new management was obliged to\nassume liabilities which have been a\nheavy load and the suspension of the\nUnion bank had a bad effect on the\nBorough, which was known to be in\nthe same position.\nSuperintendent Cheney would not\nventure an opinion as to ithe condition\nof the bank, or as to the position of\nthe depositors. This, he said would\nbe made known when the examiners,\nwho are now working on the bank's\nbooks have finished their work.\nBOSTON'S IGNORANCE OF\nCONTINENT'S GEOGRAPHY\nBOSTON, AprU 7.\u2014Nearly all the\nvisiting teachers left for Montreal in\ncharge of Mr. Walter Maughan, of the\nC. P. R.\nNearly every one spent the last day\nin Boston Inspecting the different\nschools. Great surprise was expressed\nby the visitors at the lack of knowledge of Canada and Canadian affairs\non the part of the pupils. Inspector\nElliott was informed by the senior class\nln the largest school here that Toronto\nwas 100 miles from tbe Arctic ocean,\nthat Eskimos came within 50 miles of\nthe ctty to kill seals and Polar bears,\nand that Quebec was the capital of\nCanada.\nThe geography In general use devotes a page and a half to Canada,\nand states that lumbering, fishing and\nagriculture In remote districts are the\nprincipal Canadian industries.\nPHYSICIAN DENIES\nTHAT KING IS ILL.\nBIARRITZ, April 7.\u2014Sir James Reld,\nphyslctan-ln-ordlnary to King Edward,\nwho accompanied his majecty professionally to this place said yesterday:\n\"The king has not had influenza,\ntherefore he is not suffering from Its\nafter effects.

Mr. Ro-\ndolphe Forget had for muscle his keen\nstock market knowledge. That of Mr.\nRobert E. Harris, K. C, rested largely\nln the education which leads to being made a King's Counsel. The fight\nwas for the control of the Nova Scotia\nSteel and Coal company, a corporation\nwhich until recently had jogged along\nIn that peculiarly contented way characteristic of lhe maritime provinces.\nThe skirmishing had proceeded for\nweeks, says the Monetary Times. The\naccumulation of proxies became the\nlirst consideration. Purchasers paid a\nhigher figure for the stock at every\ndeal. The market looked on and wondered. Certain Investors sold at a\nsmall profit, thinking -that someone\nmust have by then obtained enough\nstock. Next daj? a five points rise\ncaused regret. Some said that it was\na sham fight. The meeting at New\nGlasgow on Wednesday disproved that\nassertion. It was an encounter proper.\nThe generals did not mince words.\nLegal steel, clashed. The powder of\nmild expletives thickened the atmosphere. Retort cut many a wound and\nsarcasm rubbed In the salt. Finally\nthe law triumphed over- the stock-\nmarket. Now the stock market will\nuse the law to strike again for victory.\nAs to Proxies by Telegram.\nThe sensational struggle left control\nwith Mr. Robert E. Harris and his associates. Mr. Forget lodged a formal\nprotest regarding proxies by telegram\nand threatened to institute legal proceedings to upset tbe action of the\nmeeting.\nGauntlet Thrown Down.\nPrior to the gathering, Messrs.\" Har-\nrls and Forget conferred. The former\noffered to place three Forget men on\nthe directorate. Mr. Forget wanted\nmore. The reason given by the party\nseeking control was that although they\nrepresented about 33,000 shares of\nstock they were given only one representative on the directorate. Mr. Forget thought the company was moving\ntoo slowly. Many Quebec shareholders\ndesired further representation and the\ncorporation needed more capital. Control of the company was his until\nTuesday night, he added, \"Enough\nshares were borrowed over night to\ndefeat me. They were loaned by\nbrokers who were paid one-eighth of\none per cent, for the use of the certificates for toduy.\"\nMr. Harris Was Indignant.\nMr. J. N. Greenshields ,spoke in similar strain, which caused Mr. Harris to\nreply with some heat. Mr. Forget's\nstatement as to the borrowing of\nshares was denied. \"I know who\nbought all .the stock sold yesterday ,'*\nsaid Mr. Harris, \"and it was all paid\nfor. These other gentlemen (the Forget interests) have been buying stock\nfor about three weeks only. For five\nyears I have been at the head of this\nconcern, and what success has attended It. in that period you can judge for\nyourselves by the fact that those gen\ntlemen are casting longing eyes on our\nproperty and straining every nerve to\nsecure it.\n\"Not Usual    to    Elect   Lot of Stockbrokers.\"\n''Many false statements regarding\nthe company and its affairs, have been\nprinted lately, and these have emanated from Mr. Forget. There was the\nstatement that one of the directors,\nMr. -Qantley, had sold his stock to Mr.\nForget. That statement, which emanated from Mr. Forget, was false.\"\n\"I deny that absolutely,\" responded\nMr. Forget\n\"Anyway\/ said Mr. Harris, \".It is not\nusual here to elect a lot of stock brokers to control a company of this nature.\"\n\"What about lawyers?\" asked Mr.\nGreen shields.\nWanted to Run Special Train.\nMuch of the trouble hinged on the\nquestion of proxies. \"To how many\nproxies' am I entitled?'* inquired Mr.\nForget. \"Nine thousand four hundred\nand forty,\" replied Mr. Webster.\n\"I claim 9,845,\" replied Mr. Forget.\n\"Why were those 405 not allowed?\"\n\"They were proxies for shares for\nwhich proxies had previously been\nfiled In the head orflce of the company\nand of which no notice of reservation\nhad been given,\" replied Secretary McColl.\nShortly afterward, Mr. Forget received a telegram and he immediately\nasked President Harris If he would\nadjourn the meeting to permit gentlemen whose proxies ln his favor had\nbeen rejected to come here to vote.\n\"I will have.a special train here with\nthem all by tomorrow night If you will\nadjourn,\" he said. Mr. Harris did not\nlike this special train idea and said so\nin plain language.\nDIAMOND BROKER FALLS\nHEADLONG  TO   DEATH\nNEW YORK, April 7.\u2014Standing a\nfew feet from the window of his bedroom on (the fifth floor of a fashionable\nLennox avenue apartment house, Harry\nCohan, former diamond broker, fell\nheadlong and plunged to the pavement\nbelow.

The result\nIs, of course, that thousands of youngsters are reared under circumstances\nwhich make proper physical development impossible. They live ln congested areas, where the overcrowding\nand insanitary conditions make decency, morality and good health an\nimpossibility. They grow up puny\nweaklings, and thus add to national\ndeterioration.\nDifference In Height.\nAnd it should be borne In mind that\nthe army and navy are mainly recruited from these children of the poorer\nclasses. A striking illustration of\nthe physical defects of children living\nin the large towns\u2014which, at the\nsame time, Is a forcible -argument in\nregard to the necessity for new conditions of housing and town planning\u2014\nis afforded hy a comparison between\nchildren of Port 'Sunlight and Liverpool, or those of Bournville and Birmingham. As readers are doubtless\naware, Bournville and Port Sunlight\nare two social experiments which\nhave been tried in connection with\ntwo of the greatest industrial concerns\nin the country. The working people\nare housed under ideal conditions, the\nresult being that at Port Sunlight,\nfor instance, the average height of a\nboy or girl of seven years ot age Is\n3 feet 10 3-4 Inches, and the average\nweight 3 stone 8 3-8 pounds. On the\nother side of the Mersey, however,\namongst boys and girls attending\n\u2022schools at Liverpool, the average\nheight Is 3 feet 0 5-8 inches, and the\naverage weight 3 stone 2 3-4 pounds.\nAnother Comparison.\nThe height of a Bournville boy of\neleven years of age averages 4 feet\n9 inches, that of a Birmingham slum\nboy of same age being 4 feet 2 Inches,\nthe respective weights being 4\nstone 13 pounds, and 3 stone 11\npounds. The chest measurement of\nthe Bournville boy, too, it might be\nmentioned, is three inches greater\nthan that of his little slum brother in\nthe Midland capital.\nSuch illustrations could be multiplied, but these two are quite suffi-\ni-ent for the purpose of showing here\nwhat an extraordinary effect environment has upon the children of the\ncommunity. And as the tendency at\nthe present time is for people to flock\nto the towns, resulting every day In\nmore overcrowding, it behooves the\ncountry to hit upon some measures\nwhereby the flood of people can be\nhoused under conditions which will\nproduce the best results \u25a0 for the nation. \u00bb.   ....\nDrink and the Race.\nThere is another reason for fhe deterioration of national physique which\nreaders may or may not regard as vital. In view of the fact, however,\n\u25a0that It is put forward by that eminent physician, Sir Victor Horsley, it\nis certainly entitled to serious thought\nand consideration. And it cannot be\ndenied that the figures he produces\nare very striking. At a recent lecture\nat Cardiff Sir Victor stated that he\nheld that the poverty of the people\nwas due to the parasitic growth of\nthe drink traffic. \"Poor people,\" he\nsaid, \"who spend their money in\ndrink had nothing left with which to\nsupport their children, whose physique, lt had been proved, was greatly\ninferior to that of children whose parents did not spend their money in\ndrink. The expenditure of the country on drink had leapt from \u00a3110,000,-\n000 in 1899 to between \u00a3140,000,000\nand \u00a3150,000,000 in 1907.\"\nAnd Sir Victor gave it as his opinion that the failure of the nation physically was due to spending not\nenough on grain, etc., and too much\non liquor\u2014\"to not spending enough\non food, and an enormous amount on\npoisonous drink.\" He further mentioned that although to build 10,000\nnew houses the treasury would have to\nproduce only an extra \u00a322,000 to provide for a small margin of interest\non rates expended, It was difficult to\nraise that sum, although nearly \u00a3150..\n000,000 per annum was being spent\non drink.\u2014London Exchange.\nFOR UPSET STOMACHS\nTAKE   A   LITTLE   DIAPEPSIN   AND\nFEEL FINE AGAIN\nDYSPEPSIA,     HEARTBURN,    STOMACH GAS OR INDIGESTION GO\nWhy not get some now\u2014this moment,\nand forever rid yourself ot stomach trouble\nand Indigestion?

It wbb good for several columns\nof newspaper space in Egypt. The\nnoise in Rome has filled at least six\ncolumns already ln each of our dally\nAmerican contemporaries.\nAn international episode at Khartoum, a public demonstration at Cairo,\na diplomatic explosion at Rome makes\na fairly good -beginning. One awaits\nwith growing interest the coming\nevents In Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg\nand London.\nHow will our contemporaries to the\nsouth find room for the news of the\nrest of the inhabitants of the globe\nwhen the climax comes, and the mighty\none at length sets foot once -more on\nthe soil of the United States itself.\nAnd what can he, himself, do then\nthat will not prove an anti-climax after\nall that has gone before? The uproar\nmust be terrific if it Is not to be disappointing.\nAnd then what? Many an anxious\nSenator, Representative and Political\nBoss must be painfully awaiting the\nanswer to that question. Is'it conceivable that Roosevelt will come home\nand sit down and say nothing on all\nthe stirrine political questions of the\nday?        ^\\\nWe trow not; ^ is a physical Ira-\npossibility. But what will he say and\nwhom will be hit?\nHIS  LOSS WILL  BE OUR  GAIN.\nIf it should prove true that Mr. Monk\nIs to leave the Conservative party,\neither voluntarily or Involuntarily,\nthere will be widespread rejoicing\namong Conservatives.\nOn almost every question -that has\ncome up he has followed whatever\ncourse he thought would strengthen\nhim with the electors of Quebec, regardless of the effect elsewhere.\nAs a result he has repeatedly Injured\nthe Conservative party in every other\nprovince, and results (ail to show that\nbe has done it any good in his own\nprovince.\nMis utterances have been quoted to\nthe detriment of Conservative candidates from Halifax to the Pacific,\nthough those utterances have been\ndiametrically opposed to the views of\nninety per cent, of the Conservative\n-members at Ottawa.\nHis politics have been Quebec politics of a kind so narrow that they were\ntoo narrow for the people of Quebec\nItself.\nMr. Monk -may have known some*\n-thing of politics as they were about\n1880 or 1886, but we are now living ln\nthe year 1910, and Mr. Monk Is wholly\nout of touch with tbe present genera\ntion, either In Quebec or out of\nQuebec.\nIf Mr. Monk cannot agree with the\ngreat majority of the Conservative\nparty as to what the general spirit and\nIntent of the policy of that party\nshould be, then tlie party should no\nlonger be associated in the public mind\nwith that gentleman.\nCompromises' with Mr. Monk have\ntime and again stood ln the way of the\nenunciation of a clear-cut, definite,\nprogressive Conservative policy, suited\nto the needs of the Canada of the\ntwentieth century.\nWe can pnrt with Mr. Monk with\ngreat cheerfulness.\nCANADA'S  LATEST  FIND.\nWe are continually being surprised\nby the discovery of hitherto unknown\nnatural wealth in Canada. The latest\nfind Is one of the last that was expected,\u2014coal in Ontario.\nIt is of course in the newer and\n-more northern part of the province\nthat it has been unearthed, near the\nroute of the Ontario government railway. What It means to the fuel supply of that province and to the revenue\nof the railway is too obvious for com-,\nment\nSurely it is a railway that was \"born\nlucky.\" Originally planned as a colonization road to serve some remote\ntownships, In tho very course of Its\nconstruction It laid bare the silver of\nthe Cobalt. Gowganda followed and\nnow there Is a coal field one hundred\nmiles long. Managed by a commission,\nfree from the abuse of party patronage which handicaps the Intercolonial,\nfree from the overcapitalization of so\nmany corporation railways, lt has been,\nin addition, the lucky recipient or one\nfavor after another from the goddess\nof fortune.\nTWO GOVERNMENTS IN ONE\nCOUNTRY.\nIf the proposed federation of tbe\nwestern miners with the United mine\nworkers goes through, the combined\norganization will have a membership\nof something like 600,000 or more.\nIncluding the families of these members and tbe people in other callings\nwho are dependent upon them, a total\npopulation of something like two or\nthree millions will be affected by -any\naction taken by the central council of\nthe organization.\nAnd that council exercises a power\nover its members greater than that of\nany government. It can say whether\nthe members of the union shall work\nat their occupation or not. No government undertakes to do that.\nLONDON BECOMING\nFREE  FROM   FORMER  FOG.\nNo winter visitor to the Imperial me-\ntropolle, remaining any length of time,\nbut made acquaintance, sooner or later,\nwith that undesirable quantity, a real\nLondon ' fog-. Those who foave experienced\nIts effect know how rapidly the atreeta became chaos and the feeling of absolute\nhelplessness which It engendered.

Interest In this\nevent has steadily increased since the announcement was lirst made that the fmn-\noub show was -coining, and prepai atlons\nhave been mude to handle the rush which\nIs expectei(*at the box office. It ls known\nthat this city is to hove the original hig\ncompany which has been identified with\nthe remarkable success of the piece, and\nthat the vast production gotten up\nfor the New York and Chicago run will\nbe brought here Intact. This is said to he\nunusually massive aud extiemely beautiful, exceeding everything of a similar kind\nwhich has been offered in this countiy.\nThere Is no doubt whatever of the extraordinary popularity ot \"The Royal Chef,\"\nInasmuch as It Is known to have drawn\nenormous audiences all over the country\nduring the past three seasons, 'inere Is\nalways conspicuous merit ln a performance\nwhich makes such a record and this musical show may safely be anticipated as an\nentertainment of the most wholesome, enjoyable and merit oi ions character.

Page.). -\nStarkey stated that though the rates\non particular properties had changed\nwhen buildings had been improved or\nreplaced, the general rate had not been\nchanged for a long period of years.\nOne Case of Reduction.\nMr. Ross stated that the rate on\ndwellings hnd been reduced from $1\nto 75 cents, by the Underwriters association, on his recommendation, and\nthat this reduction also extended to\nfarm property, 'which was the lowest\non the Pacific coast. The underwriters\nhad made this reduction without any\nagitation on the part ot the public.\nTo Commissioner Erskine he said lt\nwas not a case ot following the lead\nof the United States companies, the\nBritish Columbia underwriters made\n\u2022the move Independently. To Commissioner Lennie he said he had recommended the reduction because he\nfound they were making money out of\nthe previous rate, and believed that it\ncould in fairness be reduced. No demand had heen made for it.\nAmerican Comparison.\nA letter was placed in evidence by\nMr. Starkey, by James Johnstone of\nNelson, who wrote'that when living In\nWest Virginia he had been charged\n$10 per $1000 by a certain company,\nwhich In British Columbia charged him\n$20. No further details were given,\nbut Mr. Starkey said Mr. Johnstone\ntold him the British Columbia risk\nwas a much better one ln every way.\nMr. Gtlles asked what the taxes were in\nWest Virginia, Commissioner Lennie\nsaid that the information the commission had was that taxation and all\nother conditions were much more favorable ln British Columbia, for the insurance companies, than in any ot the\nstates.\nMr. Starkey said he had only just\nlearned from Mayor Selous that the insurance companies paid no tax In Nelson, except $5 every six months. He\nhad supposed they paid $100 a year.\nMunicipal Taxation.\nCommissioner Lennie\u2014Do the underwriters make a lower rate for Nelson on account of not being taxed\nhere?\nMr. Ross replied that in the case of\nevery tax laid upon the Insurance companies, they \"loaded\" the rate to get\nthe money back. The rates of course\nhad to 'bear the expense of operation.\nIt was a straight business proposition.\nMr. Starkey\u2014That ls why we want\nto regulate these gentlemen. If a city\nwants to build a sidewalk, they should\nnot he able to escape taxation by that\ndevice.\nCommissioner .Lennie said that the\nevidence given before the commission\nat the coast was to the effect that if\na permanent commission was appointed, to which insurers could appeal from\nthe rates exacted by the Insurance companies, there was no way (that the companies could be compelled to accept\nbusiness at the rates the commission\nmight fix. Mr. Starkey held that ir\nthe government could regulate the railways by a commission, lt could regulate Ithe hisuran-tte. compamltest To\nthis, Commissioner Lennie pointed out\nthat that was for the Dominion.\nCommissioner Macdowall pointed out\nthat in the case of the railways, it was\neasy to enforce the orders of a commission, because the property of the\nrailways could be seized. But the headquarters of many of the insurance com- ,\npanles were in England.\nCommissioner Lennie wished to discover when there bad last been an adjustment of the general rate In Nelson,\nand desired information about the K,\nW. C. block, as a representative build-\nling. T. D. Stark, the agent, agreed to\nhave the Information ready for today's\nsession.\nMayor on Stand.\nHarold Selous, mayor of Nelson, then\ntook the stand, in opposition to some\nof the features of the proposed i Insurance bill. Mayor Selous thought he\nrepresented the unanimous sentiment\nof the citizens, In objecting to any reduction of competition In fire insurance, competition being the only safeguard that the. people had. He also\nobjected to any limitation of the present power of the municipalities to tax\ninsurance companies. He strongly approved of the proposal for a commission or bureau with power to look\nInto insuurance matters, though recognizing there were dlfftcltles in the way\nof a' commission modelled after the\nrailway commission.\nMayor Selous said he knew of no\ntown ln the province that had such a\ngood water pressuure and general protection against fire, as Nelson. He\nasked how many towns had alternative\nwater supplies. The small fire loss\nwas almost wholly due to the excellence of the flre protection. Some\nbuildings had burned to the ground,\nwithout setting fire to adjacent buildings but 15 or 20 inches distant in\n20 years, no fire had ever been communicated from a burning building to\nanother building, In Nelson.\n' Nelson's Immunity.\nHe gave an estimate which he had\ncarefully compiled, of the amount annually paid In premiums on property\nin Nelson, placing the amount at from\n$50,000 to $60,000. The flre losses ln\nNelson for the past nine years totalled\n$85,134, made up as follows: 1901, $1,-\n307; 1902, $3218: 1903, $20,669; 1904,\n$12,3<i7; 1905, $57; 1906, $666; 1907,\n$2407; 1908, $34,243; 1909, $10,120. The\npremiums paid in the last eight years\nhe estimated at from $300,000 t<? $350,-\n000.\nMaking comparisons wtth Vancouver,\nhe showed that Nelson had in proportion a larger flre brigade. Vancouver's flre pressure was 80 pounds,\nwhile In Nelson there waB difficulty in\nreducing the pressure to 180 pouunds.\nMr. Giles greatly surprised the mayor\nby claiming that a high pressure was\na detriment, the larger volume of water often being more destructive in Its\neffect on stock than the flre.     The\nstandard pressure was 80 pounds, -and\nno deductions could be made for a\nhigher pressure. Similarly a water\nsupply could not be better than the\nstandard, that was to say, a second\nwater supply, if the first was standard, would not affect the rate.\nThe mayor said it was hardly necessary to remark that a competent brigade sought to put out a flre with the\nleast water possible. The Nelson\npressure was\" sufficient to tear the roofs\noff buildings. But tbe fact waa, that\nthe pressure was often of as great ser-\n.vice in putting out afire as the water\nitself.\nMayor's Experience.\nTo Commissioner Lennle he stated\nthat the companies had promised a general reduction some years ago if the\ncity would put on more men, and install a Oamewell alarm. The conditions had been met, and the agents\nhad Informed him that the general reduction had taken place. In his own\ncase, however, he had policies on five\nproperties, and the premiums on three\nhad advanced, so ever since he had regarded suggestions for reductions of\nthe rates with a certain amount of\nskepticism.\nThis reference to Mayor Selous' personal experience was seized upon by\nthe underwriters' representatives, and\nby reference to records, it was shown\nthat the rates on the Selous block, on\nthe corner of Victoria and Stanley, had\nchanged from time to time, according\nto the class of tenant, a higher rate being paid for a carpenter, for instance,\nthan for a baker, who was also moderately high. It was agreed that the\nmayor should look up the details, and\nfurnish full Information about the\npolicies at the afternoon sitting.\nCity's Water Supply,\nAsked by Mr. Lawson to state what\nchanges had occuurred since 1908\nwhich might be a ground for reduction\nof rates In Nelson, Mayor Selous stated that one man had,been added to the\nbrigade. He admitted that but little\nwater was\" received from Anderson\ncreek by the wooden flume, which\nleaked badly, and said It could not\nseriously be called a second source of\nsupply at present. It was the original source of supply, but the present\nsupply was piped from Cottonwood\ncreek hy a steel flume.\nMr, Ross said duplicate mains would\nbe a ground for lowering a rate.\nTo Mr. Lawson, Mayor Selous said\nhe had no objection to bringing in\noutside companies, by requiring them\nto register. .To Commissioner Lennle,\nhe approved the proposal for government investigation of fire losses. He\nthought the object of the insurance\ncompanies was to get rid of outside\ncompetition. While he desired to see\nevery safeguard thrown around the insurance carried by British Columbia\npolicy-holders, he felt obliged to oppose the bill.\nTbe matter of the Nelson rate again\narose, and Mr. Lawson stated that the\n10 per cent, added to the rate of Book\nIII was for other items than flre record.\nDefies the Corporations.\nMr. Starkey stated his opinion that\nthe 10 per cent, was only a way to tax\nthe itown. He would assure those gentlemen that lie was not afraid of the\ncorporations, and could fight, and the\nmatter\"would be fought through. If\nthe government did not heed the advice\nthe insurance commission would give,\nit would hear from the board of trade.\nAfter hearing Mayor Selous' evidence,\nhe was all the more convinced that\nthe rates in Nelson were too high, and\nhe demanded from the underwriters\n\"C\" class straight, without the 10 per\ncent. He would suggest that the government cause statistics of the insurance in every town to be kept, showing the gross premiums, and the fire\nlosses. He hoped no step would be\ntaken toward more monopoly, unless a\npermanent conwnlsslon were created at\nthe same time.\nMr. Lawson was glad to know Mr.\nStarkey was a good scrapper.\nAfternoon Sitting.\nWihen the afternoon sitting opened,\nMayor Selous was prepared with ammunition to back up his statement\nabout his five properties. He found\nhe had understated it, and that he had\ncarried eight policies oj* the five properties, the premiums <m seven of the\npolicies advancing in 1899.\nThe underwriters matched records\nuntil they were able to announce that\nIn six of the cases, Mr. Selous had previously been paying less than the tariff\nrates, and that the advance had been\nonly to the tariff rates. For the previous year he had been that much\nahead of the game. The pdd policy\nwas an unsolved puzzle.\nMayor Selous^was much surprised at\nthe denouement, and was at a loss to\naccount for the cut rate which he had\nenjoyed for some years prior to the\nadvance. This, however, did not affect\nhis argument that rates were too high\nnow. A scrutiny of the records showed that rates had heen reduced on\nthe Brokenhtll block, and this was a\nblock on which there had been practically no Improvement. This reduction was justified, but there should\nhave heen a far greater reduction on\nall other properties.\nCompetition and Rates.\nSuch reduction as there had heen,\nhts worship claimed, was not brought\nabout by improvements the city had\nmade In Us service, but by the competition felt by the companies.\nMr. Ross\u2014Don't you know that competition does not enter Into the question of rates?\nCommissioner Lennle\u2014Do you say\nthat competition has never figured In\nthe making of rates?\nMr. Ross\u2014Not a particle. The rates\nare fixed on certain definite principles,\nwhich, like the laws of the Modes and\nPersians, never change.\nCommissioner Lennie\u2014That Is your\npractice toward individuals, but how\nabout communities?\nMr. Ross contended that the same\nprinciple was tn force. In answer to\nCommissioner Lennle, he -said there\nwas no standard population for a\nstandard city, but the various services\n\"THE FINEST IN THE LAND\"\nGANONG'S\nChocolates\nEveryone eats them.\nEveryone sells them.\nKNOWLER & MACAULAY\nBritish Columbia Agents\nwere worked out on the basis of a unit\nof 1000 population.\n\u25a0Mayor's Parting Shot.\nMayor Selous concluded his testimony. He contended that his statement about the advance In his personal rates held good, though \"these\ngentlemen, by some form of legal\nverbal Jugglery,\" explained It to their\nown satisfaction. \"Whenever the insurance companies had us \u2022 in a cleft\nstick, they were unmerciful. When\nthey gave concessions, lt was because\nthey were forced | to that step,\" was\nhis parting shot.\nMr. Anstie's Statistics,\nW. A. Anstie, secretary of the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers association,\nsubmitted the statistics which Commissioner Lennie had asked him to\nprepare. He estimated the total amount of Insurance carried by the interior lumbermen in unlicensed companies as one-third of the total amount\ncarried by them, this one-third being\ncarried at a -saving, over tihe rates of\nthe board companies, of from 15 to 25\nper cent, of the premiums on lumber,\nand of from 15 to 75 -per cent on\nplants. He stated to Mr. Lawson that\nthe lumbermen commenced to place\ninsurance with unlicensed companies*!\nfour or five years ago. To Commissioner Lennle, he said that In several\ncases lumbermen insured in both board\nand unlicensed companies.\nThe representatives of the underwriters asked for a number of details, which Mr. Anstie said he did not\nfeel at liberty to furnish, as he did\nnot know whether the lumbermen concerned would wish the facts to be published. The insurance men were disposed to complain of this.\nQuits on Secrecy.\nCommissioner Lennie\u2014It seems to\nme that several things have been withheld already, hy the Insurance companies. We asked you for information\non certain points, which you had, and\nyou said you would not give it to\n\u25a0us.\nThe Insurance men were sure there\nwere peculiar and special reasons for\nthe large percentage saving claimed in\nsome cases, If they only had the details\nto work on. Mr. Anstie stated that one\nfirm carried all Its Insurance In outside companies, and by a process of\nelimination of the Insurance men identified it.\nThey then stated that in that particular case the mill had never given the\nboard companies a chance to quote\nrates, so the lumberman's estimate of\nhis saving was purely guess work. They\nalso argued that probably some of the\nlumbermen were comparing their present day rates in outside companies\nwith the rates they paid years ago in\nboard companies, which would not be\na fair comparison. Perhaps, also, the\nmill was insured with board companies,\nand the yards with outside. Mr. Ross\nsaid there was a certain amount of\nsaving, but the figures given were too\nlarge to be accepted.\nSaving Admitted.\nMr. Anstie\u2014That admisslcn is all I\nwant.\nThe secretary of the lumbermen\npointed out the position in which the\nlumbermen would be placed If the advantage of this competition was denied\nthem.\nMr. Ross said the board companies\nwere on the map for adjustments, and\nhad men travelling all the time on that\nwork, but this was not forced on them\nby competltiton. Competition was a\ngood governor, however.\nMr. Anstie said the competition in\nthe lumber business was so keen that\nthe business was carried on on the\nsmallest margin of profit of almost any\nbusiness.\nMr. Ross\u2014Where does your competition come from?\nMr., Anstie\u2014Prom ourselves, and\nfrom'our neighbors to the south.\nMr. Ross\u2014Your association isn't\nworking right.\nMr. Anstie\u2014We have not yet attained the perfection your association exemplifies.\nIllustration.\nMr. Anstie gave a hypothetical case,\nwhere he had taken a mill worth\n$100,000, with a production annually\nof 5,000,000 feet, on this side of the\nline, and an exactly similar mill on\nthe other side, with all conditions\nequal. He figured that on a 5 per cent,\nrate In British Columbia, the American\nmill would save 60 per cent. In premiums, the British Columbia mill paying $1 per 1000 feet on its plant, and\n45 cents on Its lumber.\nThe underwriters answered that\ndoubtless in practice it would be found\nthat exceptionally favorable conditions\npermitted the lower outside rate.\nMr. Anstie offered to get signed\nstatements from 40 lumbermen testifying to savings of from 15 to 75 per\ncent. He had purposely estimated a\nsmall eut of lumber, as for years the\nInterior mills had never achieved their\ncapacity.\nAs Mr. Anstie left the stand, Mr.\nRoss said the outside companies doubtless based their rates on experience,\nbut they were assuming an extra liability that some day would have to be\nreckoned with;'\nMr. Lawson put in -as evidence a disclaimer from Lloyds, published in the\nLondon Times, of any connection wtth\nMEAGHER \u00ae> CO\nSeasonable\nSale\nOF\nStylish\nRaincoats\nThese raincoats are decidedly\nsuperior In style and quality and\nare suitable for dry or wet weather.

Mr. Giles said Manitoba -\"--required $5000, and the Dominion $50,000. The value of these deposits as security was open to question, he thought, as tbey had no relation to the business done. They would\nibe small protection in the case of a\ncompany doing a very large business.\nOn the other hand, one or two instances were known of companies being wrecked by the deposit they were\nrequired to make.\nStandard of Capital.\n'Another point discussed by Mr.\nGiles was the placing of a standard\nfor capitalization, and the amount ot\npaid-up capital required, before a company could do business. He thought\nthat not less than $25,000 in paid-up\ncapital ought to be required of a new\ncompany and a subscribed capital of\nfrom $125,000 to $150,000. A company\noperating on this capital was safe so\nlong as it accepted only reasonable\nrisks, and isolated them. On that\nbasis, the larger business It did, the\nsafer it was.\nHe also gave his views on re-insurance, particularly with reference to the\ncommission it is customary to allow.\nln  concluding  his    testimony,   Mr.\nGiles stated that all charges laid upon\nInsurance companies had eventually to ]\ncome out of the pockets of the policy-\nholders, as the rates had to bear   all\nexpenses.    Anything tending toward a ;\nreduction of premiums was advisable,\nand anything tending to raise    them\nwas inadvisable.   He suggested rellev- j\ning the insurance companies of muni- j\nclpal taxation.\nThe final session of the commission\nwill open this morning at 10:30 o'clock.\nG. O.

Lowther     Holds     Remarkable\nPosition In  British  House ot\nCommons.\nOne of the moat interesting men in\nEngland and during the present unsettled state of politics one of the hardest worked is \\V, Lowther, the speaker\nof the house of commons, or as he ls\nbetter known ito the English public,\n\"Mr. Speaker.\"\nWe have heard much recently about\nhereditary legislators in the upper\nhouse, but here is an excellent example of a hereditary legislator in the\nhouse of commons. If you search the\nrecords through since the beginning of\nparliament you will hardly find a parliament in which a Lowther has not\nsat for Westmoreland or Cumberland.\nIt Is certain that they have been Important persons In the latter county\nsince there were any records at all,\nand the peerages In giving the lineage\nof the Earl of Lonsdale, the head of\nthe house, record the fact tbat a baronetcy was bestowed in 1G40 on Sir\nJohn Lowther,,M. P., for Westmoreland\nwho was the thirtieth knight of the\nfamily In almost direct succession. Hts\neon waB raised to the ireerage.\n. Mr. Lowther is a first cousin of the\npresent Lord Lonsdale, whose name Is\nknown all the world over as that of a\nfamous sportsman. Mr. Lowther himself Is something of a sportsman, hut\nhe has found time to win academic\nhonors as well. At Cambridge he took\nhonors in both classics and law, and\nhe was called to the bar in 1879, although he has never found lt necessary\nto -practice. In 1883 he entered parliament, devoting himself to public life\nas so many English gentlemen do from\na \"sense of duty alone.\nLowther a Unionist.\nMr. Lowther is a Unionist, but he\nhas been re-elected to his high office\ntwice by a Liberal parliament, it is a\ntradition of parliament that a speaker\nonce elected remains in oHIce until he\ndies or retires. As a rule he retires\nand receives a peerage and a hand-\nsom pension. Only once has a -speak-\ner once chosen heen defeated for reelection. That was in .1835 when Manners Sutton had shown himself so\nmuch of a partisan that the Liberals\nrefused to grant him another term of\noffice.\nThe office of speaker of tbe British\nhouse of commons is a very different\none from that of speaker of the American house of representatives. In the\nUnited States the speaker is frankly a\npartlzan, but in England he sinks all\nhis party feelings as soon as he ascends the speaker's chair. In spite of\nhis title \"Mr. Speaker\" never speaks\nand never votes. In the event of a tie\nhe would 'have a casting vote, but\nwould be expected to exercise lt in\nfavor of maintaining the status quo.\nHis title is derived from the fact\nthat the command from the king\ncalling on his \"faithful commons\" to\nchoose \"a discreet, wise and learned\nman\" specifies that he shall be their\nspokesman in dealing with their sovereign. Nowadays that duty Is undertaken by the prime ministry.\nThe present speaker has distinguished himself as a discreet, wise\nand learned man and also as the possessor of a saving sense of humor. He\nis always to be relied on to pour oil on\ntroubled waters, and he has tided over\nmany a difficult situation by a kindly\nJoke which put two politicians who\nwere ready to fly at each other's throat\nIn good temper.\nSPORTING NEWS\nPowtil Gets    Decision    Over    George\nMemsic\u2014Roller Is Victor.\nOAKLAND, April 7.\u2014Lew Powell, ot\nSan Francisco, was given the decision\nlast night over George Memsic, at Los\nAngeles at the end of a fifteen round\nfight.

Twelve miles east of\nGoshen, Weston met Jack Eldrldge,\nwho is walking from Boston to San\nFrancisco. The greeting between the\nmen was cordial and Eldrldge walked\nback a mile with Weston. Eldrldge has\nno attendant and carries no baggage,\nwhile Weston Ib equipped with an automobile and trainer. He is fourteen\ndays ahead of his schedule.\nBall Team In Wreck\nLOUISVILLE, Ky., April 7\u2014Again a\nrailroad wreck which more than once\nthis spring has interfered wtth the baseball training, overtook a major league\nteam today, the -players in this case\n'being the second division of the Boston\nNationals, piloted hy John J.'Dovey. At\nSaxton, Ky.. the L. & N. train on which\nthe team was en route from Knoxvllle,\nTerni,, -t0 Louisville, ran into an open\nswitch. None of the players or other\npassengers, according to the reports received here, were hurt, but engineer\nWilliam Rudolph was killed and the\nfireman and express messenger injured.\nLacrosse Guide.\nNoticing the general revival in the\nCanadian National game, a certain\nfirm down in Montreal has undertaken to publish an All-Canadian Lacrosse guide, the edition of which is\nunder the direct supervision of Clarry\nMcKerrow, of the Montreal Lacrosse\nclub. It will be devoted to amateur\nas well as professional interests, and\nwill contain rules and regulations of\nall the important leagues, together\nwith a number of photos, pointers,\netc. To date the only book edited has\nbeen an American publication, which\nwas of little use to Canadian clubs.\nCoast Lacrosse.\nJack Maboney is mentioned as the\nmanager of the New Westminster\nteam for the season of 1910, provided\nAid. Charlie Welsh stands by bis decision, to filve up the position. The\nexecutive has about decided to offer\nthe position to Mr. Mahoney, who was\nfield captain of the team for many\nyears, and who acted in that capacity\nwhen the champions made a clean-up\nof all the teams In the east in 1900.\nThe New Westminster club's executive will hold a special meeting this\nafternoon to discuss a number of important matters.

The\nColumbian also says that the mandate has .gone forth from the camp of\nthe Salmon Bellies that in the event\nof Lalonde playing on the Vancouver\nteam Tommy Gifford will ibe given\nhis Instructions to check Lalonde, regardless of what position the former\nCornwall man plays.\nLORD KITCHENER NOW.\nIN  8AN  FRANCISCO\nOn His Return to England After Tour\nof  Inspection  in Australia\u2014He\nTravels Incognito\nSAN FRANCISCO, April 7\u2014Lord Kitchener, commander ln chief ot the Brit\nish forces of the Mediterranean which\nale0 includes the far east, arrived last\nnight on the steamer Mariposa from\nTahiti.

One of tbe most remarkable feats in\nthe history of engineering has recently\nbeen accomplished near Mauch Chunk,\nPa. In order to save 400,000.000 tons ot\nanthracite coal, valued at 12,000,000,000\nbelonging to the L-ehlgih Valley Coal &\nNavigation comiMiny, which, has been\non fire for more than 50 years.\nFire 1700 Feet Wide\nNobody knows how the fire in the\nLehigh Valley Coal company's mine\nstarted. It was discovered on the mo-m-\nin-g of Feb, 15, 1859, in some abandoned\nworkings in what is known as the Mammoth vedn, at the east end of the Summit Hill basin in Panther creek valley.\nThe general shape of that coal basin\nhas ibeen compared to a man's hand,\nwith the thumb and fingers etxended.\nTne -tire started near the end of the\nthumb, which is 600 feet wide at the\nnarrowest part and 1700 feet at its\n-broadest point; and for 51 years it has\nbeen working its way slowly towards\nthe main part of tbe hand. If it ever\nreached there the work of devastation\ncould not he stopped and 400,000,000\n-tons of coal would be sacrificed.\nFormer Attempts\nAlready according to the best estimates, {25,000,000 worth of good anthracite has heen consumed. Various attempt-) have been made to extinguish\n'the flre. In the 60's it was \"proposed to\ndig an open cut with sloping sides\nacross its path and flood it, so that\nwhen the fire reached the water it\ncould go no further. This project waB\nfound to be too -expensive and was not\ncarried out. About 20 years ago an attempt was -made to cflil the mine with\nCulm and smother the flames in that\nway. But that proved a failure. The\nflre \"was subdued Cor a time, but burrowed through the barrier and continued\nburning.\nWall Cost $25,000,000\nFinally W. A. lAt&rop, president of\ntbe company, decided that the only way\nto protect the rest of the deposit was\n\u2022to build a solid concrete wall ahead\nOf the flames; and the work was com-\nmenced in December, 1908. It was recently finished at a cost of $25,000,000,\nbeing 1050 feet Ion?, 12 feet thick and\n247 feet deep or high, as you may care\nto put W-\nOn the north of tbe basin -where the\ncoal comes to the surface, an open cut\nwas dug.
