G.--The Star's Lol-\ndon cable says: The Australian ministers clearly mean business at the\ncoronation conferonee regarding trade.\nMr. Wise, attorney general of New\nSouth Wales, suggests an Australian\nrebate on customs duties on all goods,\nllritish and foreign, imported in British bottoms. The idea of Including\nforeign goods in the preference is to\navoid contravention of the most favored nations clause. Mr. Barton, the\nfederal premier of Australia, approves\nthe suggestion and Mr. Sedden, the\npremier for New Zealana, is willing\nto give a customs rebate on British\nand not foreign goods imported to\nNew Zealand in British bottoms.\nIt is thought these early colonial\nadvances are made in the hope of\nstrengthening that seotion of the\nllritish cabinet which would welcome\nsome measure of British reoipiocity\nwith tha colonies, as part of the forthcoming British Budget. In budget\nmatters, however, Sir Michael Hicks-\nIleach has hitherto been supreme and\nhe has always flouted the preferential\nidea. Though the Canadian government is not known in the best informed circles here to be taking any fresh\nstep in regard to fast mail service, the\nsubject was much discussed at last\nnight's dinner of the Canadian club.\nThe impression seemed to prevail that\nncthing adequate or effective cau be\ndone until the C. P. R. is invited by\nthe Canadian government to undertake\nthe project with an increase of the\nsubsidy beyond the $750,000 already\nenacted by the Canadian parliament.\nNo doubt is felt that tbe British government would assent to co-operate in\nany inceased subsidy if the C. P. H.\nwere directly concerned. Sydney has\ngained many influential lriends lately\nas a terminal port. Its adoption in\nplace of Quebec would necessitate only\nthree instead of fonr steamers. It is\nsnggested that the Intercolonial railway would poshibly be transferred to\nthe C. P.

So far the detailed statement of the claim has not been delivered and until that is done how this\namount is arrived at can only be\nguessed.\nReferring to the initial proceedings\nlhe Viotoria Colonist says:\nA writ for the sum of $94,000 has\nbeen issued against the New Vancouver Coal company, of Nanaimo, for\nan alleged infraction ot tbe Railway\nAct. Behind the scenes in this claim,\nwhioh is one made for forfeitures and\npecnalties under chapter, Victoria\n31, sections 100, 300, 303 and 304 of\nthe Dominion Railway Act, and\namendments, is a strange story. The\nplaintiff, as given by the writ, is\nCharles William A. Neill, of Victoria,\nwho, as the writ says, sues on behalf\nof himself and His Majesty tbe King.\nAs a matter of fact, Neill says he sues\non behalf of someone else also other\nthan His Majesty the King, and this\nsomebody prefers to remain in the\nbackground.\nNeill is the runner for the Dawson\nhotel, and according to the story\ngiven by him to a Colonist reporter\nyesterday, all ho knows of the action,\nis that he signed some papers at the\nrequest of a man, whose name, he\ndeolared, he did not know. According\nto the stoiy then told by Neill, tbe\naction is being taken in his name on\nbehalf of another, an unknown as far\nas he is concerned.\nTho action is taken to clai^n the\nsum of $04,1100 as forfeitures and\npenalties because of the alleged failure of the Now Vnancouver Coal company to file returns showing the\namount of business, accidents and\nother details, as required by the\nstatutes of the Railway Act above\nquoted with the Dominion government. A similar action, and for an\nequally large amount, has been taken\nagainst the Nelson Electrio Tramway\ncompany, Neill being again named\nas thc plaintiff in the writ; but, as\nhe says, all that he knows, is that he\nsigned some papers, and tbo action as\ntaken by another whose name he says,\nhe does not know.\nMORE MEMBERS DESIRED.\nMatters  Before   Council   of    Nelson\nBoard of Trade.\nThe council of the board of trade\nmet last night with President Holt in\nthe chair.

It is probable tbat this\naction will result in the further postponement of the consummation of this\ntreaty.\nThe powers in opposition to the\nManchurian treaty aie now beginning\nto recognize the force of the representations of the Chinese plenipotentiaries that China is making the best\nterms possible for herself and incidentally for the equal rights of the\nother nations in China and are shifting their protests to Russia as the\nresponsible party. Paul Lessar, the\ni.ussian minister hero, is endeavoring\nto maintain the transparent diplomatic fiction that the Manchurian\ntreaty and the Russo-Chinese bank\nagreement are not related. He has\ninformed his colleagues that the Russian government bas no official\nknowledge of the negotiations of the\nRusso-Chinese bank.\nThe Russian agents are playing their part with the greatest regard\nfor appearances, while M. Lessar is\narranging the treaty with China. In\nthe light of the statements of Chinese\nufficials which were repeated yesterday, namely that Russia insists upon\nthe simultaneous signing, of the Manchurian treaty and the bank agreement, the representations of M.Lessar\nfail to carry weight. The native\nnewspapers are filled with stories that\nRussia is trying to gain her ends by\noffers of heavy tribes.\nGermany remains a disinterested\nspectator of the affair. The correspondent here of tne Associated Press\nhas seen a draft of the agreement.\nThis provides that China shall build\nall railways ana develop all mines in\nManchuria. If Bhe is unable to command the capital, she shall apply to\nthe bank. If the bank is unab'e or\nunwilling to entei into arrangements,\nChina may apply elsewhere for capital. The final clause stipulates that\nthe agreement shall in no wise impair\nthe existing rights of other nations,\nwhioh clause is ralpably nullified by\nthe preceding conditions.\nDANISH ISLANDS CEDED.\nTerms of Treaty By Whch Tbey Pass\nto United States.\nWashington, Feb.

It is set forth, however, that\nthe consummation of the cession dees\nnot impart the transfer to the United\nStates ot the financial claims now held\nby Denmark against tbe colonial\ntreasures of the islands, it being\nagreed that these claims are altogether extinguished in consequence of\nthe cession.\nThe title conveys to the United\nStates tbe absolute feo and ownership\nof all public, government or crown\nlands, public buildings, ports, harbors, fortifications, barracks and all\nother public property of every kind\nand description belonging to the government of Denmark, it being, however agreed that the arms and military stores existing in tbe islands at\nthe time remain the property of the\ngovernment and shall, as soon as circumstances permit, be removed by it.\nMUST DEFEND\nTHEIR RATES\niSult Against White Pass Railway  Must  Oo to\nTrial.\nINTERNATIONAL COMMISSION.\nInquiry to Be Made Into the Diversion\nof Water From the Great Lakes.\nWashington, Feb. 6.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdSenator Piatt,\nNew York, today introduced In the\nSenate a joint resolution providing for\nthe appointment of a joint commission\nby the United States and Canada to\nexamine and report upon the diversion of the waters between tbe two\ncountries.

Through\nthe publication of inspired editorials\nand dispatches tbe attempt was made\nto crenU a hostile sentiment towardi\nlegitimate enterprises which are ailing greatly in the development of British Columbia. For a time tho floodgates were stopped probably through\nshame at being exposed when engaged\nin work which waB next door to\nnefarious. Still uot one of these ex-\nnosed journals has yet shown any\nsigns of repentance nor hove they offer,\ned any explanation of their conduct; on\nthe contrary, one or two of them have\ncommence- to reiterate some of the arguments of the former crusade, for a\ncause which has not even oue legitimate leg to stand on. The public\nthink, however, from the very complete exposure of tlie attempt to deceive, tbat no self respecting journal\nshould havo tho hardihood to recommence the crusade on the saino lines,\nbut still this has aud is being done.\nOne of the alleged dispatches, whicb\nwas prepared by the agent of the C.\nP. R.| who is ono of the most talented\nnewspaper men in Canada, was pub'\nlishcd in the Vancouver Province and the Nelson Tribune, and ro\nprinted in the Rossland Miner, purported to have been sent from Fort\nSteele. The Fort Steele Prospector\nmakes the following satirical remarks\nconcerning this alleged dispatch\n\"Marconi has made wonderful steps\nin wireless telegraphy, and perhaps\na rival of Marconi is working a\ngrapevine from Fort Steele to the\ncoast. From investigation we are\ncertain that no such reports aa published in tbe provincial papers were\nsent out from Fort Steele.\"\nThc explanation is simple. All the\ndispatches and editorials wore prepared by the individual who spent a\ncouple of weeks in the Kootenays.\nThej were typewritten and distributed\naround among tlie papers which are\nunder the influenco ol tho Canadian\nPacifio railway, with instructions to\nfire tbem off at certain dates. As per\nschedule they were duly discharged.\nThey were so much alike, however,\nand as the same language was used in\nsome of the sentences, it led to a\ncomparing of notes, and a realization\nof the true inwardness of the crusade.\nThe editor of tho Kamloops Sentinel\nwas offered some of tbo typewritten\narticles for publication io his paper\nby trusted agents of the railway oompany and he, acting in the interests of\ntve people, ana doubtlesB anery at\nthe idea that anyone should think him\nso ignoble that ho could be induced to\ntake part in such a selfish campaign,\nexposed the whole plot, making It ono\nof the most complete fiascos ever\nwitnessed.\nWANTED\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdA F1UE CHIEF.\nThe city of Nelson is advertising\nfor a chief for the fire department. A\nnumber of applications have been\nreceived for the position. Western\ncities arc built of inflammable\nmaterial and a number of them have\nsuffered from the dire offcits of large\nconflagrations. Within the last voir\nor two Now Westminster and Sandon\nwero virtually swept out of existence\nby large Hies and many of thoir citizens, who were ailluent, were reduced\nto poverty by reason of these disasters. Nelson has so far escaped a\nserious conflagration. Precautions\nhave been taken in time against flros\nby maintaining a paid flrejdepartment,\nby establishing fire limits, inside of\nwhich the erection of wooden buildings is prohibited,and by furnUliingan\nadequate water supply. It has been determined by the city authorities that\ntbe chief of the lire department shall\nbo as competent a fireman as can bo\nsecured for tho salary paid. What is\nwanted is a firtt class, experienced\nfireman, a cool, resolute man, who\nwill not lose his bead dining the excitement which attends tho suppression of fires. He must be a good disciplinarian and at the same time bo\nable to command the respect of his\nsubordinates to tbe extent that  thoyj\nwill look up to him and obey all his\neo't'mandi the moment tbey are given,\neven in the fare of great danger.\nPieferably the position should be\ngiven to a home fireman, but if no\ncompetent man can be secured at home\nthen a selection should be made from\nthe applicants from other communities. Too desire is to secure a\nthoroughly competent man and the\nposition should be awarded to the best\nqualified among the applicants. Tho\nplace is ono that should not bo\nfilled by a weakling.\nFIRST AID TO INJURED.\nThe question of flrst aid to thc in-\njored continues to be agitated by the\npapers throughout the west. In conversation with those connected with\nthc mining industry, including mine\nowners and workers, the opinion is\nunanimous that something in the\nnature of a system should be adopted\nso that suffering may be alleviated\nand lives tometimes saved before tho\narrival of a physician after accidents\nhave occurred. One suggestion is\ntbat the physicians whom the mine\nemployes pay should ou the occasions\nof his visits to mines, or at any other\nsuitahlo time, give instructions to\nmen selected lrom among the employes, as to what should be done in\nthe way of first aid. In a short time\na number could be instructed in thi\nway,who would be of groat service to\nthose who are so unfortunate as to be\nInjured. The mine owners should, it\nis thought, supply the bandages, temporary splints, ten n in nets, and medicines It is understood that one of the\nphysicians ot Nelson intends within a\nshort time to deliver a lecture on the\nsubject of \"First Aid to the Injured.\"\nEDITORIAL NOTE?.\nThe productive life of tho Klondike\nis to be extended considerably by the\nexploitation ol the quartz mines. Re\nports from Dawson say that the two\nquartz mills, which have been put up\nthere, cannot handle all of the ore\nthat is offered for crushing. Many\nquartz mines have been opened and\nrich ledges found. There is a demand\nfor more stamp mil la.\nSchwab, the steel magnate, is cutting a wide swatb in Europe.

The congress finally, however,\nhas agreed to accept the principles of\nThe Hague convention in regard to\ninternational arbitration. This result was attained principally through\nthe strenuous exertions of the United\nStates and Mexico.\nMiss Stone, the American missionary captured by brigands, has been a\nfew days over five months in captivity.\nShe was captured ou Sept. 3rd of last\nyeai. The sum of $61,000 has been\nraised by popular subscription to pay\ntho ransom demanded. So far, however, United States Consul Dickinson\nhas been unable to obtain her release.\nConsul Dicliinsoif4 and thc board ol\nforeigu missions have tbe sum demanded for Miss Stone's release, but\nnotwithstanding al! their efforts thby\nhave been unable to secure the desired\nend. Perhaps, if thc United States\nsent a warship or two to take possession of a Turkish custom house, following the example of France, the\nSultan might bestir himself to secure\nthe release of the unfortunate woman,\nwho must be weary ol hsr captivity.\nThe Dunsmuir government is mak-\nlnga desperate effort to prolong its\nlife,but does not appear to be me ting\nwith any alarming degree of success,\nsays the Nelson Economist. The truth\nis, no one has any faith in Mr. Dunsmuir or his cabinet, and no number\nof fair promises will restore the government to favor. Premier Dunsmuir\nand his government have been given a\nfair trial, and if anything has been\ndemonstrated it is that he and his\ncabinet have been most conspicuous\nfailures from the standpoint of statesmanship. They have undertaken nothing and consequently it is not surprising that they have not accomplished anything. The country is in\njust as bad shape as it was nnder tne\nbenign rule of Cory Ryder and Joseph\nMnrtin, and no beneflcient change\nmay be expected until Dunsmuir's\ngovernment is turned ont.

The\n.silver Mountain road is impassable at\na point close to New Denver and it ia\nnecessary to unload and reload at tho\ndangerous point. It will consequently\nbe a month yet before all the ore ls\nsent from thc whurf.\nTlie Hartney, says the New Denvor\nLeilge, intends to send out a carload\nof ore tiiis week. The Hartney is\nlooking well. The long tunnel being\ndriven to tap the lead ISO feet below\nthe upper workings will reaoh the\nledge in about 85 feet, when, If the\nore body encountered above is found,\nstoping ground will be opened up and\nthe mine made a steady shipper.\nA few days more work will complete the upraise on the Nettie L.\nThis will give a depth from the surface of over 4nU feet and about 259 feet\nclear of stoping ground, says the\nTrnut Lake Topic. Besides the lead\nfrom which the ore was takon last\nyear and which ls likely to furnish a\ngreat portion of the 8t)0 tons which it\nis intended shall be got out before\nsleighing breaks up. Tbe men work-\nin? on tho upraise havo beon following on Ihe footwall a streak of from\nii to 18 inches of fine ore. Answering\n0 question put to him by J. J. Sulli\nvan, Wm. Pool, the manager of the\nmine, Baid that he expected to 6end\nout before sleighing breaks up from\nBOO to 1,000 tons of ore. Continuing\nhe said tbat It was the. intention of\ntho company to keep on shippin ore\nall summer, this being rendered possible by the fact that a good wagon\nroad was now constructed to the\nlower workings through whioh all the\nore mined in the future will be\ndelivered.\nThe completion of the new upraise\nbesides employing a greatly inoreased\nforce of men means greater expedition\nin getting out ore. LaBt year the\ngreat bulk of tbe shipments had to be\nwindlassed from the stopes to the\nupper tunnel, now, all ore mined will\nbe dumped into chutes penetrating to\ntlic loner tunnel and delivered from\nthese to the ore-house by car, a method\ninfinitely more expeditious than the\nformer.\nThe opening up ef spring and tbe\ncommencement of navigation ought to\nsee awaiting snipment at Trout Lake\nat leeast 1,500 tons of ore furnished\nby the two principal mines of the district, the Nettie L. and Silver Cup,\nand before the end of this year lt is\nnot too much to expect that at least a\nthousand tons more will be added to\nthis amount, tbe contributions of ull\nthe other developing properties,\ntogether with what tbe Nettie L.\npeople will mine in addition.

Hill and the Great\nNorthern are conneoted, to bave fights\nwith the Dunsmuir government. Word\nhas been received heie that the Craw's\nNest Ooal company and the authorities are at loggerheads. The cause is\nthe allotment of lands in the coal\n(own of Fernie.\nUnder the law the government is\nentitled to one-fourth of the town,\nthe company to tho rest. The^com-\npany asked the lands and works department to go ahead with its locating some time ago, but from causes\nnot at present mado public that course\nwas not adopted. The company could\nnot wait for red tape at Victoria so it\nsold property in the town and gave\nguarantees tbat it would hand over\nthe title in due course.\nThe other day the government started to make its choice of blocks and\nlhe first selection it made waa of the\nblock on which the Royal hotel stands\nand on which also are the handsome\noffices of the coal company end other\nvaluable improved properties. Tbe\ncoal company, of course, suppose that\nthe government would be willing to\nhand the blocks over in return for the\nmoney received from the lots. Bnt to\nIts indignation the lands and works\ndepartment declined to take that\nt'ourso,   but claimed  instead that  lt\nSome Difficulties That Have Been\nExperienced in Times Past.\nThough the ice on Arrow Lakes\nhas been heavy this year, its thickness\nls not a record since steam navigation\nwas started on the lakes, and now the\nsteamers are better equipped to contend with tbis obstacle than they over\nwere before.\nRelating what has taken place in\npast years, Capt. Gore said that up\nto 1803 the supply of provisions for\nNelson for the whole winter had to\nbo brought ir. in the fall and tbe vos-\nsels were laid off. Iu 1804 a scow was\nfixed up as a ice breaker and though\nthere was difficulty navigation waB\nkept open. The scow was only 24\nfeet wide and was shod with Iron. It\nwas so narrow that the broken ice\ngrated against the sides of the vessel\nand damaged it much, besidos imped-\nng its progress. Tbe iron plates\nbecame dislodged so often that they\ncarried a gang of carpenter? along to\ndo repairs when needed. The iee was\nonly seven inches thick that year and\nthe vessels wore kept running witb a\nlair degree of regularity.\nThe worst year Captain Gore remembers was that of the winter of\n1897-8, whon iee to tlie thickness of 1\ninches formed. For three days the\nmercury at some time or other went\ndown to 25 degrees below zero and\nthe cold weather continued for upward of three weeks. The wind seems\ntorconcentrate the cold air at the narrows and ice forms there whon cold\nweather is not though of at any\nother part of the Kootenays. That year\nthere was much wind, which impeded\nthe vessels while the snow Inthe water\nand ou tho iee raised the ice breaker a\nfoot higher than its usual level. The\nbreaker previously in use had been\nwidened lo 38 feet making it much\nmore effective and another had been\nbuilt to avoid towing one for about 20\nmiles. Coming down one time the\nwind impeded the vessel aud the ice\nformed so fast that be was frozen in.\nUe was obliged to lay up one day and\ncut wood and the next would fight\nthe ice. It took bis steamer 17 days\nto make 20 miles at a point opposite\nFire Valley.\nJ During tile past cold snap the ice\nwas \\2 inches thick but as the ice\nbreakers are of a better pattern and\nwider than the steamers tbe vessels\nhad always been able to make the\ntrip in fairly guod time. At one part\nof tha triu it takes the vessels three\nhours to make 15 miles, whereas it is\nusually done ln abont an bour and a\nhalf, so that the steamers bave been\nirom an hour to two hours late. There\nare now three ice breakers employed,\none at Arrowhead, another below\nNakusp and the third oppoeite Fire\nValley. The snow of Sunday night\nwas an additional hindrance and that\nnight a part of the engine gave way\nwbich caused the only important\ndelay of the winter. The obstacles\nwere not now so great but tbeie would\nbe ice to contend with for some time\nyet.\nThere has been Borne trouble in\nkeeping tha way open to the Molly\nGibson landing and all day Wednesday a steamer was engaged at that\nand yesterday 100 tons of ore was\ntaken down.\nAt Kootenay landing the steamer\noccupies all its spare time breaking\nice and when tied up at the whari the\nwheel is kept goirg to drive the loose\nice out into the stream and by which\nit is carried away by the current of\nthe river.

The testimony of a school teacher on this subject is good. The letter is long aud\nonly the important tacts will be given.\n\"While I was teaching school in\nIBM, a little girl in tlie household\nwhere 1 lived was very fond of drape-\nNuts nnd would eat all she was\nallowed. I noticed lhat she wns a\nremarkably bright pupil. There wen\nfive other Children, all of one family,\ntbat were so marked in tlieir work.\nThey were really the brightest family\nI ever knew, so I questioned to find\nwhat tlic.v were using. Thoy replied\n'Only drape-Nuts.' I learned upon\nfurther Inquiry that this was thair\nchief diet for breakfast and discovered\nthat tlieir luncheon consisted generally of Grape-Nuts with cream and a\nlittle truit.\nI had suffered from dyspepsia,headaches and general debility greatly\nand. I knew, my diet was nut well\nselected, I took up Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food and carried it to school for\nluncheon. I soon discovered a change\nin my condition and found that Grape\nNuts afforded more norishment than\nbread, meat, eggs or anything that I\ncould take in my basket. After\nluncheon I would feel strong and\nbright for the afternoon's work while\nbefore I had frequently oeen half ill.\nIn the spring of 1900 I went to college, rented a room and boarded myself, subsisting largely Ontlrape-Nuts,\nand I can not speak too hignly of the\nfood as a brain nourishcr. At the end\nof a year's schooling I obtained a\nposition in one of tho ward schools\nin this, a college town, and am well\nand happy.\nThe wife of the college principal\ntells me that there is no food that\nagrees with her as well as (Irape-\nNuts and thnt testimony v;ns repeated\nby a lady friend in my own home.\"\nName given by Postum Co., Battle\nCreek, Mich,\nuntil February\n15th from R.J.

Fred Hume this week received\nsome letters from England enclosed ln\nwhich were some of the first issue of\nstamps on which the head of King\nEdward in engraved. The stamps\nare considered to be imperfect and are\nto be withdrawn from circulation, so\nwill soon be quite valuable. The\nhead of the king shows a scar and\naccentuates his bnldnesBvery strongly.\nThe expression on tbe face is also\nanything but a happy one and the\nhead is turned towards the left wheu\nit should have faced towards the\nright, the rule being that the head of\neach successive monarch on the stamps\nshall look in opposite direction from\nthat of his predecessor.\nWork on the construction of the\nhalf-million dollar plant of the Cascade Water Power aod Light company\nis being pushed rapidly abead, everything being in perfect running order.\nIt was thought that the death of J.\nRoderick Robertson would cause some\nslight delay in the work, part of his\nmissiou to New York having been to\nconsult Hon. John Hogart, the famous\nNew York hydraulic engineer, regarding the plans, which had been prepared by that gentleman. Mr. Kobertson, however, had things so arranged\nthat, as he himself once said, if ho\nshould die suddenly everything oould\nbe carried right along without\ninterruption.\nThe ladies have arranged the following excellent musical programme\nfor the opening of the convcra\/.ione to\nbo held on thc evening of Munday\nnext at the Phair hotel!
