Capital\nPEKIN, Feb. 26\u2014The government is\npreparing an elaborate reception for the\ndelegation which is coming here under\nthe leadership of Tang Shang of Nan\nking to notify Yuan Shi Kal of his election as president of the republic. The\npeople, however, seem to be Indifferent\nrespecting the momentous visit. Telegrams have been received from various\nsections of the country embodying proposals with respect to the future capital. It is believed that Yuan Shi Kai\nIs secretly inspiring this with the object of dividing the south on the matter of the location of the capital.\nWhile Yuan Shi Kai realizes the Im\nperativeness of uniting the country, he\nis proceeding confidently in the knowledge that he possesses the means of\nconverting or politically defeating his\nopponents. Apparently the country ls\nvery much in favor of Yuan Shi Kal as\npresident Many soldiers who are not\nRepublicans have given their full adherence to the president elect and Yuan\nholds the confidence of. both Manchus\nand Chinese, which probably Indicates\nthat the suspicion that he was double\ndealing was unwarranted. The new\ngovernment has decided tbat the.country shall hereafter be officially styled\nthe \"Great Republic of China,\" the word\n\"great\" being Intended to Include Thibet, Turkestan, Mongolia and Manchuria. It has practically been decided\nto convert the Forbidden City Into a\ngovernment enclosure where all the offices will be situated.

Great interest waB taken in the\nevent owing to the recent decision of\nMr. Justice Charbonneau declaring the\nHebert marriage valid in the eyes of the\ncivil law.   His grace said In part:\n\"The, agitation carried on from one\nend of the country to the other, the\nmore or less violent articles' appearing\nIn several Protestant newspapers\nagainst the wise and beneficent, but\nevidently ill-understood legislation of\nthe Catholic church and the deductions\ngathered from a recent Judgment of the\ncivil courts Impose upon me the duty to\nraise my voice, not for the purpose of\ntrying, to interpret the text of the hu-\n| man laws but ln order to solemnly af-\nfirm the ever immutable principals of\nI our faith touching the august sacrament of marriage as well as the sacred\nlegislation of the church which neither\njurists, atheists nor the finding of civil\ntribunals can ever abrogate or modify.\n\"Have we ever seen a Catholic priest\ncelebrate the marriage of two persons\nbelonging to other than the Roman\nCatholic faith? No, indeed. If Protestant ministers had acted ln this manner\nand if they had declined to celebrate the\nmarriage of Imprudent and guilty Catholics upon the simple presentation of a\ncivil permit, without making Inquiries\nus to age and other   conditions,   -we\n\\ would never have had to deplore these\nscandals which so greatly trouble our\nl society.  ,\nFaithful Will Remain Loyal.\n\"If govarnments make laws for the\nvalid and legitimate celebration of marriage, and if these laws contradict\nihnse of the church, the latter can in\nno way be afraid for the reason that ths\nfaithful and all those to whom the laws\nof the church apply will remain loyal\nunless they want to be excluded from\nher sacred Jurisdiction.\" He then quoted\nthe He temere decree and proceeded:\n\"So here ls this ne temere decree with\nwhich a somre has been created\nthroughout the land and whioh they\nrepresent as an attempt to destroy the\npeace of families and the liberty of conscience. A marriage celebrated outside\nthese essential conditions, the conditions mentioned in this decree, is consequently null, both as regards conscience and religion. It is a very easy\nthing, however, to render such a union\nvalid, .as they have only to present\n'themselves before a competent minister.\nShould they, however, refuse the case\nIs submitted to the ordinary of the diocese. The latter has but one sentence\nto render and that ls to declare the\nmarriage Invalid according to the canon\nlaw.\nMarriage Belongs to Church.\n\"Marriage, like all other sacraments,\nbelongs to the church and consequently\nlt belongs to the church to direct everything that concerns the validity ot_ marriages. 'Such was the doctrine of the\nCatholic church. before the Protestant\nreformation and such will It be tn all\ntime. If, however, our separated brethren have rejected It, If they have made\nmarriage a simple contract submitted\nlike all others to the civil power which\nmay be dissolved or governed at its will\nlet them at' least allow us to remain\nfaithful to our secular traditions and In\nthe name of that liberty whioh they\nclaim for themselves let them permit us\nto act according to the convictions of\nour faith.\n\"Whatever happens the holy laws of\nthe church on the marriage question\nwill always continue to bind the conscience of Its children and these alone\nin .the eyes of the church will be worthy\nof the title of husband and wife who\nwill have contracted a marriage according to her forms and rulings,\"\nPrepares to  Meet  Possible\nBritish Strike\nWORKERS MAY GET\nMINIMUM WAGE\nGovernment Organ Is Hopeful\nof Settlement\u2014State Operation Urged\nNORFOLK, Va., Feb. 25.\u2014The British\ngovernment has begun buying coal at\nthis port and four British steamers\nhave been chartered to come here and\ntake it to Gibraltar, where it Is to be\ndiverted to the British admiralty. The\nfour steamers are expected to take approximately 25,000 tons. That the British navy ls ln urgent need of this fuel\nwould seem to be made apparent by the\nfreight rate which the government has\nundertaken to pay the steamers, which\nls $5 a ton. This Is only 40 cents less\nthan the ocean rate to San. Francisco.\nSmall  Hope of Settlement.\nLONDON, Feb. 26.\u2014One of thc largest mine owners In England, who has\ntaken part ln the conference with the\ngovernment, expressed the opinion tonight that the only hope of preventing\na coal strike which will involve more\nthan 800,000 miners is for the government to persuade the men to postpone\ntheir notices.\nJames Haslam, the Labor member for\nDerbyshire and the agent of the Derbyshire Miners' association, has stated\nemphatically that this ls impossible, as\nthe miners haye decided to stand together and the Welshmen will persist\nin laying down their tools on Feb. 29\nunless their demands are acceded to,\nMr. Haslam added that the Derbyshire\nminers could settle the whole question\nin' 24 hours, but they could not break\naway from their fellow-workers in\nother fields.\nWelsh   Labor   Leaders. Fighting.\nIn other quarters a more optimistic\nfeeling prevails based on a lack of harmony among the Welsh leaders, which\nmay lead to a postponement of the notices. It is understood that Premier\nAsquith and Chancellor Lloyd-George\nwill endeavor to induce the miners at\nTuesday's conference to hold their notices In abeyance temporarily and the\nowners to deal with all questions which\nhave arisen, except that relating to the\nequal wage, at once, leaving the matter\nto be negotiated later. In the English\ndistricts, in case of a strike, the miners\nwill be permitted to keep the mines\nclear.\nChronicle Is Hopeful.\nLONDON, Feb. 25.\u2014The Dally Chron-\nicle says that the premier, the foreign\nsecretary, the chancellor of the exchequer and the president of the board\nof trade are expected to attend the\nmeeting of the miners' federation on\nTuesday and that unless the federation\ndeclines to hear him, which Is not like\nly, Mr. Asquith will address the meeting. The Chronicle expresses the con\nftdent opinion that the strike will be\navoided nnd that the battle for a minimum wuge is virtually over, only the\nworking details requiring adjustment.\nIt believes that If the coal owners refuse\nto concede a minimum wage the government Is likely to propose legislation\nto establish the principle of a minimum\nwage and the reference of the details\nto an arbitration commission.\nUrge Drastto Methods.\nThe Daily Mall, in an editorial, urges\nthe government to take drastic measures to prevent the coal strike and suggests that the government might appoint receivers to work the mines and\nrender an account to the mine owners\nafterwards, or by the compulsory purchase of all the coat already above\nground bring pressure to bear upon the\ndisputants and secure a delay In which\nto discover whether by the granting of\na minimum wage or in other ways a\nmeans can be found to solve the problem.\nThe Daily News believes that the\ngovernment's negotiations with the\nmine owners give hopes of a settlement\non the basis of a minimum wage and\nthat the Welsh owners have been persuaded to acquiesce ln any settlement\narrived at on the English side.\nC.

Francis Bolton of\nLondon. From* which it will be seen that\ntlie king of the heavens and tils two consorts were not neglecting his interests.\nThey could not associate him with any\nother dieties because about that time tbe\nglory of the gods and goddesses of\nmythology was badly faded, Ibut they landed him In the hands of a baronet, which\nwas apparently the nest best tilling. -\nHarry Bird managed a mine In France\nfor a while and then enjoyed, while acting for Sir Francis, two brief experiences\nof the tropics. He went twice .to Mexico,\nbut frljoles, enchiladas and chill con\ncame did not appeal to him much after the\nroast beef and Yorkshire pudding of old\nEngland; the climate was too hot, the\ntowns were too smelly and Bird did not\nstay.\nIn 18S7 he crossed the herring pond and\nlocated at Moose Mountain, He built a\nflour mill and .bartered beads and blankets\npowder and lead in exchange for furs and\nbuffalo meat with the Indians. If he had\nstayed long enough he would have been\na young Hudson's Bay company, and In\nthe ten years or so he did remain at Moose\nmountain he did something the Hudson's\nBay people haven't done yet, and that was\nto establish a village. He called It Con-\nnington Manor, a pretty name, though It\ndoesn't sound like a place in Canada,\nHe began to assist ln the building up of\nNelson and Kootenay in 1699, when he\nopened a real estate and Insurance office\nhere, handled investments of various\nkinds and secured the agency for the C.\nP.

In the matter of railroadB he\nfavored government ownership, but\nrealized that the public did not yet approve of this principle.\nW. H. Hayward took strong exception\nto Orientals being allowed to own land\nIn the province. It certainly was, he\nsaid, a very penny wise and pound foolish policy for British Columbians to say\nthat they wanted no Orientals within\ntheir borders and at the same time to\npermit these people In a measure to become part of their own body political\nby allowing them to purchase land. It\nwas a matter that should be taken up\nwith the Dominion government at once.\nGreenwood Will Benefit.\nJ. R. Jackson said that the construction of the Kettle River Valley road to\nthe coast would give Greenwood direct\ncommunication with Pacific ports.\nWhile conditions in mining there had\nnot been of the best during recent\nmonths, he could say that with the\npresent outlook continuing In the coal\nfields they might anticipate an early revival In the Industry.\nH.

FORT STEELE. B. C. Feb. 25\u2014Although it is still the last month of winter, It may be said quite truthfully that\nhere at least spring has come. There\nwas an unusually heavy fall of snow\nearly ln November, with a few days of\nkeen zero weather which was followed\nby a thaw, putting the runners, about\ntown at least, into temporary retirement. Gradually, however, the snowfall\nIncreased, and the merry sleigh bells\nwere again heard. But the temperature\nkept well above zero with plenty of\nbright sunny days until Dec. 29, when\nthe mercury took a sudden drop and\nkept below zero for the first 12 days\nof January. The lowest point touched\nhere was 32 below. . There was also\nquite a heavy fall of snow, which kept\nthe sleighing continuously good until\nnow, allowing logging and tie cutting\nand other operations In the woods to\ngo on briskly and without hindrance.\nFort Steele has to Its credit therefore\nto date at least six weeks of Ideal winter weather, during which the average\nfrost record was from 12 to 20 above\nzero, never at any time falling below,\nand very frequently even at night\nshowing no more than two degrees of\nfrost or none. People, therefore, are\nfully justified ln claiming that taken\nall In all nowhere can a better climate\nbe found than right here ln the Kootenay Central valley.\nThe Kootenay Central has already\nmade a beginning on its future work,\nthe carrying of freight\u2014coal, hay and\noats for the contractors. Ballasting of\nthe roadbed has not yet of course heen\ndone and cannot ,be until the frost Is\nfully out of the ground. Rip-rap work\nhas begun, Burns & Jordan having se-\noured this in addition to their grading\ncontract northward.

Another dam\nfor irrigation purposes ia being thrown\nacross Little Bull river high up on the\nbench above. On these works and In\nthe logging and tie camps up the main\nriver more than GOO men are employed\nln thla business being tributary to tbe\nnew town. Like everything of this kind\nundertaken by the big company, a num\nber of very neat and substantial build\nfngs have been erected. First of these\nis the long warehouse already filled\nwith dry goods, groceries and other\nsupplies for the campa; a fine largo office building and several excellent\ndwellings for the officials of the com\npany.

In the house of commons on\nFriday Sir Wilfrid Laurier urged that\nany aid given by Ottawa as assistance\nin the construction of highways should\nbe on the   same   basis as the subsidy\nn grants, that Is In proportion to the population of the provincea. The government declined to attach this stipulation\nto ita bill, and the amendment proposed by the leader of the Opposition\nwas defeated, although Mr. Borden\nstated that the terms of Sir Wilfrid's\namendment might possibly be adopted\nIn practice by the government\nThe allotment of the federal grants\non the basis recommended by the leader\nof the Opposition would not be satis-\n; factory to British Columbia, and would\nbe an injustice to the province. According to the last census the population of British Columbia is 302,768. The\npopulation of Ontario is given as 2,519,\n502. On the basis of population the\nfederal grant for fostering the creation\nof good roads would be nearly seven\ntimes as great to Ontario as to British\nColumbia.\nOn no ground except that of popula\ntlon would Ontario be entitled to greater assistance than British Columbia.\nSo far as area is, concerned, a point of\nprime importance where the construe\ntion of roads is concerned, British Columbia has claims for a grant larger\nthan any other province of the Do\nminion, for in extent it is the greatest\nof all the provinces, its area being 372,-\n630 square miles, while that of Ontario\nIs 260,862 square miles.

Ontario\nis already well supplied with roads.\nBritish Columbia has enormous areas\nstill without highways and whose settlement and development depend largely\nupon the building of roads. These are\nfacts that thc Dominion government\nwill doubtless bear in mind when the\napportionment of the federal grant is\nunder consideration.\nAnother important fact is that the\nconstruction of roads in British Colum\nbla is far more costly than in other\nprovinces. A grant that would provide\na considerable mileage of roads on the\nprairies would be merely a drop In a\nbucket In British Columbia. This fact\nis recognized In the case of railways.\nWhere the construction of railways ls\nthrough mountainous territory greater\nassistance is granted by the Dominion\ngovernment than when construction ls\ncomparatively inexpensive. Roads and\nrailroads In thla tire on all fours, and in\nformulating Its scheme for the assistance of road construction the government at Ottawa may be expected to give\nweight to the considerations which\nhave guided the federal policy ln affording aid In the construction of railroads.\nBRITISH  COLUMBIA'S  SPLENDID\nFINANCIAL   POSITION.\nIt must have been with a considerable degree of satisfaction that Hon.\nPrice Ellison, In the course of his\nbudget speech, pointed out the present\nposition of the province's finances, The\nremarkable strength that the financial\nposition of the province has lately attained is particularly noticeable, for lt\nshows that the beneficial effects that\nhave followed -the McBride govern\nment's administration of public affairs\nIs cumulative and that a continuance\nof the policy now in operation is likely\nto give even more satisfactory results\nin future years.\nMr. Ellison has good reason to take\npride in the record of the two years\nunder review. There was an accumulative saving in that time of nearly five\nmillions of dollara. On March 31, 1909,\nthere waa a balance of liabilities over\nassets of more than three and a quarter\nmillion dollars, while two years later the\nbalance was nearly a million and a half\ndollars on the other side of the ledger.\nIt Is a change that ls in the highest degree satlafaetory, and that becomes\neven more striking when the financial\ncondition of the province when the McBride government look office la remembered.\nThat the excellent management of\nthe province's finances la appreciated\nby the world at large is evident from\nthe relative price of the provincial securities, the bonds of BrltlBh Columbia\nbeing preferred by financiers to those\nof even old established provinces\nsuch as Ontario, Quebec and Nova\nScotia. It is an enviable position,\npeclally for a province whose development is of comparatively recent growth\nand in which public works are of a particularly expensive character, and lt ls\na position which could only have been\nsecured by able and careful administration. That the McBride government should be able to show a financial\nstatement so eminently satisfactory, and\nat the same time should have fostered\nso successfully the prosperity and de\nvelopment of the province, and should\nhave kept pace with the exceptional de\nmands due to the rapid settlement of\nthe country ia a record for which few\nwill refuse it cordial commendation.\nThis Date in History.\nRichard Jordan Gatling, the Inventor of\nthe Gatling gun, was born on thla date\nIn 1S18 at Hertford county, N.C.

Price   Ellison   in  Budget   Speech\nMakM tSomc  Instructive\n, Comparisons.\nTestimony to the strong financial position of British Columbia and to the\nbetterment of condition!* during recent\nyears ls given by Hon. Price Ellison,\nminister of finance, who in the course\nof his budget speech spoke as follows:\n\"A study of these figures will, sir, I\nthink, bring home to the house more\neloquently than anything I can say\nthe extraordinary progress of the province during the period under review, the\nyear ending March 31, 1911,\n\"Omitting the item of land sales, the\nIncrease In the revenue tax marks the\ngrowth of the population, the heavy\nsurplus In registry fees tells the tale\nof further capital coming Into the country to seek investment, while the\ngrowth in timber licenses. In royalties\nand taxes on coal, and in fishery and\ncanning licenses presents a picture of\nthe rapid exploitation of the country\nand of the growth In industrial enterprises.\n\"And it is reasonable to hope, from\nthe statistics which are already within\nmy knowledge, that when tho time\ncomes next session to compare the estl\n\u25a0mates for the year ending March 31,\n1912, with the public accounts for ths\nsame period which will be put Into your\nhands, Mr. Speaker, in January next,\nthe same flattering tale of substantial\nand ever-Increasing progress, and of\nactual receipts over estimates will be\ntold again with greater emphasis than\nI am able to declare today.\nProvincial Debt.\n\"On March 81, 1911 the bonded debt\nof the province Btood as follows:\n\"Four and a half per cent debenture\nstock, Loan act 1887, $881,210.\n\"Three and a half per cent Inscribed\n\"Three per cent Inscribed stock, Loan\nacts 1891-3-5-9 and 1902, $8,981,91\n\"Three and a half per cent Dyking\ndebentures, acts  1897-8-9,  $475,000.\n\"Three per cent treasury debentures,'\nLoan act 1903, $12,000,\n\"Total, $10,790,146.\n\"Deduct accumulated sinking fund,\n$2,018,581.\n\"Railway guarantee bonds. $8,771,\n\"Nakusp & Slocan Railway Aid act\n1894,  $047,072,\n\"Total, $9,418,637.\nRemarkable Progress.\n\"But taking the available asset of\n$8,526,047 surplus cash then in the bank,\nand other outstanding assets, such as\nthe martgagee on the Shuswap & Okanagan and the Nakusp & Slocan railways, loans on creamery associations,\nnnd other minor loans detailed ln the\nbalanced sheet, the balance of assets\nover liabilities ls shown to be $1,497,694,\nns against a balance of liabilities over\nassets amounting'to $801,644 on March\n31, 1910, and against a balance of liabilities over assets amounting to $3,-\n294,577 on March 31, 1909.\n\"Thus, Mr. Speaker, In two years not\nonly has the balance In the public accounts lately put into your hands\nswung round for the first time since\nconfederation, from the debit to the\ncredit side, but the change represents\na total accumulation of savings to tho\nextent of $4,792,271 In two years.
