The\nadmiral and Mrs. Schley when they\nappeared were greeted with cheers and\nshouts of \"Hurrah for Schley. \" Everybody joined in the shouting and the\ndepot attaches crowded about the admiral and insisted on a hand shake.\nAt the gates the crowd increased and\namid deafening cheers the admiral and\nhis wife the former with his bat oil',\npassed through two solid lines of people. A lieutenant and squad of police\nwith difficulty cleared a passageway to\nthe carriage, which was in waiting.\nThrough a mass of vehicles that had\nbeen drawn up by curious drivers, the\nhansom pulled into Pennsylvania avenue and proceeded directly to tho\nShoreham hotel. There were groups of\noheerers all the way and a cavalcade\nof cyclists formed a voluntary escort.\nAUDIENCE WITH PRESIDENT.\nThe admiral stayed only a few minutes at the hotel and then drovo over\nto the navy departrment, where without any preliminaries, he reported directly to Acting Secretary Alleu. Tbe\nlatter accompanied him over to the\nWhite Houso, reaching there at 4:50.\nTbe president gave him a cordial reception. The president thanked the\nadmiral, as he had Admiral Sampson,\nfor the success of that memorable engagement of July 11 and took occasion\nto say tbat it was that battlo whieh\nbrought about the surrender of Santiago. The president thanked him on\nbehalf of himself and the nation for\nhis brilliant services on that day and\nasked him to describe the battle, which\nthe admiral did at length.\nTho president then entered into a\ndiscussion of the work of the Porto\nRican commission, to which the admiral has been appointed.

Although considerably better\nhe is not well, and said tonight that\nho expected tn leave here tomorrow to\nvisit relatives in Maryland, which\nprobably will consume several days,\nafter which he will go to Connecticut\nto remain until about to start for Porto\nRico.\nTbo admiral during the evening\ntalked briefly of some of the incidents\nof the fight which led to tlie destruction of Cervera's squadron.    Ho said :\n\"It is my opinion that the Spanish\nadmiral might have escaped wilh possibly one or two of bis ships had he\nadopted different tactics in coming out\nof the harbor. Had he diverted the\ncourse of his ships, sending some of\nthem east and others to tbo west, it is\nmy belief that he might have escaped\nwith one or possibly two of his vessels.\nSuch a course would naturally compel us to separate our fleet and some of\nCervera's squadron might have reached\nHavana.''\ntbe California coast and taking UO\nskins, the schooner anchored on February 12 in Warmea bay in the Sand-\nwhich islands. After replenishing her\nwater and stores, she sailed from there\nto Hakodate, which port was reached\non May 22.

His\nold supporters will stand by him\nagain, and many of those wbo voted\nfor Mr. Farwell in the last election,\nwill, for reasons previously pointed\nout in these columns, cast their votes\nthis time for Mr. Hume.\nThere has been some criticism of the\ndelay in issuing the, writs for tho by-\nelections. The explanation, however,\nis simple and obvious. Apart from\ntho fact that tho outgoing ministers\nleft the departmental affairs in a\nmuddle, there was a period of several\ndays during which the various departments were without heads, and tho\nConsequent accumulation of routine\nwork makes it desirable everything\nshould be straightened out by the now\nministers beforo their enforced leave\nof absence for the purpose of ii. loting\ntheir constituents is taken.\nWe obscrvo that many of our oon-\ntomporarics in speaking of the probabilities of another appeal to the\ncountry, urge that tho election should\nbe fought on party lines. Whilo such\na COlltingenoy is probably inevitable\nsooner or later, any immediate actiou\nof tbat kind is to be depreciated in\nthe best interests of the province. The\nprovince has hitherto beeu governed\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nand wo will confess, badly governed\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\noutside of party lines. The result\nhas been that tho best men of tho\nprovinco have, irrespective of party\npolitics, joined together in au endeavor\nto oust the incapable occupants of\noffice. They have succeeded and aro\nnow installed in their place. Should\nthe party cry bo raised now, those who\naro at present working amicably together for the good of the province\ncould no longer so work, and the process of regeneration would bo interrupted.

About a year ago Mayor\nHouston put a stop to this temporarily,\nand less than two months ago Ohief of\nPolice McKinnon did tho same thing.\nNov,-, however, there arc more piano\nspeak 'players at work making life miserable\nfor the respectable residents of the district in question than ever before.\nThis nuisance must be stopped entirely, no half-way measures will do;\nnud unless the chief of police fakes (he\nmatter in hand forthwith tho case will\ngo beforo the police commissioners.\nThe writer has no desire to interfere\nwith the unfortunate women in any\nway, merely to request that what has\ngrown to be an unmitigated nuisance\nbo at once abated.

THE MINER   MONDAY, AUGUST 29,  1898.\nSAW II\nDiii OUT\nBad Luck Haunts a Midway\nLumber Man.\nWASHED   OUT   THRICE\nPowers and Lequiune Lose 300,000 Feot of\nLumber\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdHas Had Bad Luck Prom the\nStart- Very Little Savod.\nA despatch from Midway dated\nAugust 25, states that the Midway\nlumber mill owned by William Powers\nand Bernard Lequiune, was utterly\ndestroyed by fire last night. The lire\nevidently started near the boiler furnace, hut was not the result of any\ncarelessness. Mr. Powers himself fully\nrealizing the danger he was exposed\nto, carefully raked out the lire from\nunder the boiler, cleaned away all the\nlitter and saturated the floor of the\nboiler houso with water after work\nwas stopped last evening. He supposes\nsome loose cinders ecasped his notice,\nbut it is singular that they should have\nsmouldered until 0 o'cloek, about\nwhich hour the fire broke out.\nHe had until two ov threo days ago\nemployed a night watchman, but finding the man asleep one morning he\nhad discharged him. After supper\nlast night he looked towards the mill\nfrom the boarding house and all then\nappeared safe. At II o'cloek a roaring\nsound was beard and a bright glare\nseen at the mill. Ho quickly did the\nflames take possession of the entire\nmill and nearly all of tho lumber piles\nthat practically nothing was saved\nother than the boarding and bunk\nhouse, the. horses and about $1000\nworth of lumber. The plant had lately\nbeen added to and thoro wus between\n800,000and 400,000 feet of lumber piled\nin tho yard. As llu- mill was situated\nup Boundary creek about a mile and a\nhalf away, the residents iu the town\nfor some time thought that another\nbrush fire had started up so did not* at\nonce go tu tlie scene of the disaster.\nHowever, Mr. Powers says that had\nthero been plenty of help immediately\navailable little more could have been\nsaved since there was for some time\nafter the fire broke out a strong broeze\nblowing from the mill right over the\nlumber piles, so that these were all\nburning almost, immediately. When\nthe lire had been effectually cut off\nthe Midway company's irrigation\nditch, which flows through the mill\nyard was dammed and thc lower part\nof tho yard flooded to prevent the sawdust and refuse there from conl inning\nto burn, and so endangering tlie\nrescued lumber.\nMr. Powers has had a particularly\ndisastrous experience in conneotion\nwith his lumber mill operations.\nFor three years his mill was located\nin the town of Midway on the main\nKettlo river. He erected piers each\nyoar but the early summer freshets\ncarried his logs down river. Finding\nthat he could not hold the logs in (he\nriver ho last fall removed his mill In\nBoundary ereek, but when this year's\nfloods came his dam went out and once\nmore his logs were gone. Nothing\ndauntod he started to haul in more\nlogs, when fire burned 100,000 i'eet of\nthem as they lay piled in a draw abovo\nthe mill. Now an almost clean sweep\nhas been made and the hitherto plucky\nmill owner begins to think very seriously that the fates are against hint\nand that ho cannot possibly suet-cod\nwith a lumber mill no matter how he\ntrios. Only three or four weeks ago,\nwhen his partner, Mr. Lequinne,\nwho runs a sawmill at Kelowna,Okanagan, B. 0., was over here, Mr. Powers suggested to him that he tako over\nthe whole business as luck seemed to\nbe against himself, but Lequinne encouraged him to stick to it, as there is\nnow a good local demand for lumber.\none.    Tho story goes on as follows :\n\"At this timo a runnin' boac from\nthe Johnny Bull was hiyin' there too,\nwith a little middy, no bigger'n an\nIrish fairy, in the stum sheets. And,\nas we was layin' about us, we heered\nthat there middy pipe out, in a voice\nlike a penny trumpet\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\n\" 'Say, you fellars, our ship was in\nChina when your man Tatnall came in\nand cut us out, don't ye know? We're\nready to help. If yoir'll let your mon\ngo in, wo will, and d\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdn consequences !'\n\" 'Let 'em go!' says a voice in onr\nboar, and in they come like a torpedo-\nboat, full speed ahead.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe middy\nwas fust, bangiu' away wilh a telescope, which them infant mariners\nallers carried, and I b'licvc. took to\nbed with 'em. 'Twas fists and oars\naud boat-hooks agin knives and bay-\nuits; and 'twas all over afore you could\nspit. They piled them Dagoes up like\neordwood on the old Powhatan, and\ncheered each other tnd nut oil', fur the\nhull town was comin' down to murder\nus.\n\"Trouble? Lord, yes! There was\ntrouble enough. But it didn't amount\nto nothin'. Our crew and that British\ncrow weren't there when the port captain came oil'. We was up the coast\nin a sailin' cutter, and uo one couldn't\nbo indentitied, ami everyone aboard\nhad alleybys: and iln- ships was\nstripped for action, anyhow, and e< uld\nhave laid that there town in ruins in\nfour minnits by the watch.\n\"Wot's that? Can't see no point iu\nthis yarn, eh? Well, jist you go up\ninto tbe tighting'-top o' the foremast\ntomorrer mornin' and clean tlie ma-\nsheen gnu, and think orer tin- beauty\no' bavin' your fanibly stand with you\nwhen you're fightin' strangers. And\nmayhap, while, you're eleanin' and\nthinkin', a light']] break in dn your\nintelleok 'lougside o' which a sarch-\nlight won't seem liko a taller candle. \"\n1S9E\nPROVINCIAL      1S2C\ni\ufffd\ufffd\nExhibition\nPRESERVING JARS *4\nPints, Quarts and Half Gallons.\nunder llie direction nt\nThe Royal Agricultural and Industrial\nSociety of British Columbia.\nOCT. 5 to 13 Inclusive\nTea Pots all Siz^s\nPutter Crocks\nHAJOLICA & STONE WARE\nMilk Pitchers \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nBowls t\nPie ancl Pudding Dishes. j\nand a Full Line of CHINA & GLASSWARE.\nComplete Supply of .  .  .\ni\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd eonjuetioi, wim mo Groceries, Summer Beverages, Etc.\nCitizen&'GrandYearfuCelebration;quality   nequaled prices rigit\nFresh Fruit and Vegetables every morning.\n$18 000 \ufffd\ufffd ****** \ufffd\ufffd $18,000; Special attention to Mail Orders.\nThe Premium List is Hie Largos!\nover offorod Wesl of Toronto.\nKirkpatrickand Wilson, 5\ufffd\ufffdsi\nSt.\nic\n[ Py.-o-SpectacuIar Bombardment of  Santiago; rw.r\\    cr^r*\nde Cuba and Blowing up ol the \"Hainc.\"      j ASK     I O     SEE\n\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nFollowed liy on up-to-dato I* Ire u orks Hisnluy\n'  r !\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\nTHE WAR  EAGLE PROFITS.\nIf the Gooderham  syndicate repeats\nj wilh the Centre Star the success made\nj with tho 'War  Eaglo, it will he a very\nprofitable    venture,   The  Wav  Eagle\nwas bought for $700,000, trat other expenses brought the  cost   np   to  about\n$750,000.
