There are, it is claimed, a sufficient number of elected members of the\nhouse desirous of avoiding an immediate\ngeneral election, with those who hold the\ntime unripe for a division on party lines\nuntil the natural retirement of the present legislature, to rally round the present opposition leaders and carry on\naffairs until the prescribed date for an\nappeal to the people..Should the government be defeated so soon as tt meets\nthe house, and ;the opposition have\ndefinite pledges of 20 in the present\nhouso of 38, it Ib therefore urged that\nthe opposition leader must be summoned, and should this occur tt Is freely\nstated that nine of tho members now\nsupporting the administration will come\nover on the assurance that when the\ngovernment goes to the people at the\nnatural close of this legislature, it will\nbe upon party lines.\nBRITAIN STORM SWEPT.\nTerrific Gale Does Great Damage.\u2014\nPassenger Train Blown Over.\nLondon, Feb. 27.\u2014A gale of almost unprecedented violence swept Great Britain\nthroughout the night and did considerable damage. * Telegraphic communication northward of Leeds was entirely\nInterrupted, the continental service was\nInterfered with and large numbers of\nships were forced to seek shelter in the\nharbors.\nMany minor wrecks occurred and the\nlifeboats and rocket apparatus were\nbusy all along the coast.\nAt Ulverston, Lancashire, a passenger\ntrain was blown over, a number of passengers injured and ten cars wrecked.\nThe gale swept over Ireland north to\nsouth.

Tt.\u2014Ore shipments from\nthe Granby mines ln this camp have been\ncut In half from the dally rate of 1,500\ntons, which has been maintained for sev*\neral weeks.

In the meantime negotiations ure still ffoliiR on to secure coke\nfrom the Union collieries at the coast,\nand it may he possible to secure some 5,000\nor 0,000 tons, or enough for a month's run\nat the smelter.\nAt the present lime the Granby mines\nare employing tho largest force of men\nthey have had for some months\u2014about 360\nIn number, and superintendent Williams\nannounces that, even If thc smelter Is\nforced to dose for a while on account of\nshortage of coke, he will need nearly the\nentire force to do somo development work\nthat he has mapped out, and which he has\nnot been able to get at recently. Tlio\nindications, therefore, are that this camp\nwill not be directly affected seriously by\nthe coal miners' strike.\nO.P.R.

The\nwholesale trade of the country in fact\nis ln a generally prosperous condition.\nThis Is reflected by the satisfactory condition of collections by tbe large distributing bouses here. The sorting trade\ncontinues active. Payments on paper\nshortly to mature are expected to be\nfully up to expectations. Values continue to be firmly maintained. The only\nexception is a reduction ln one line of\ncotton goods wrapperettes tbls week of\n15 per cent, made to keep out American goods.\nA number of country buyers are in\nToronto this week and many more are\nexpected next week for the spriiig millinery openings, although the buying\nfrom travelers since the first of the year\nhas been on a liberal scale, current\norders are large and well distributed.\nPrices are firmly held by the manufacturers in the expectation that they will\nbe fully taxed to meet the increased consumptive demands ot the country. This\nyear, owing to the expansion in general\nbusiness and the promise ot a still further increase In trade, the banks are\nestablishing many new branches, and to\ndo this they are increasing capital.\nBusiness in general at Quebec during\nthe past week has been fairly good. In\nwholesale circles payments are reported\nsatisfactory. Orders for the coming season continue to come in. In shipping\ncircles the outlook Ib very encouraging\nand It is reported that tbe allotted space\nhas already been taken up and there is\na demand for more. There has been no\nfailure ln the district to speak of.\nAt Hamilton this week there has been\na steady flow ot orders to tbe wholesale\ntrade for spring and summer goods.\nShipments continue on a large scale, giving ample evidence of the growing importance of the city as a distributing\ncentre. Values of staple goods as reported to Bradstreet's are firmly held and in\ncases where tbe wholesale trade have to\nrepeat they will as In the case of firms\nIn other trade centres have to ask higher\nprices for some leading staple lines. Tbls\nIs stimulating the demand for the\nretailers, who wish to get orders placed\nat current prices.\nIn London this week, as reported to\nBradstreet's, there has been a good demand for staple goods. Orders are large\nand well distributed for spring and\nsummer goods, and the proportion of the\nmore costly lines is figuring well in cir-\nrent business, when compared with previous years. Payments are very fair for\nthis season.\nAt Victoria and Vancouver current\nbusiness Is reported to be fully up to\nthat of former seasons at this time,' and\nthe outlook for trade Is very promising.\nThere is great activity In the shipping\ntrade as a result of the large export\nbusiness being done In provincial products in lumber and in grain. There has\nbeen, however, some difficulty In getting\nwheat from Manitoba and to make up\nthe cargo of a large ship for Australia\nsome grain had to be brought from\nPuget Sound.\nBusiness at Winnipeg Is moderately\nactive. The wholesale trade Is now busy\nmaking spring shipments, which aro\nheavier than ever before at this season.\nThe shipments of farming Implements\nare particularly heavy and this indicates\nthat there will bo a large increase in thc\nacreage of cultivated land this coming\nseason. It.is believed that tho next\nwheat crop Bhould, with condltlonB as\nfavorable as last year, reach 73,000,000\nbushels, and Iho business outlook In the\nCanadian northwest was never brighter.\nWholesale business at Ottawa Is quite\nactive. The sales of spring and summer\ngoods havo been large. The sorting\ntrado In all lines continues very brisk.\nThe advances In some leading staple\ngoodB are partly responsible for Ihe\nactivity, but tho goneral Increase In the\ndomands of the country constitutes the\nprincipal factor in the expansion of\ntrade. Country remittances arc fair for\nthis tlmo of the year.\nBUSY SESSION\nOF CONVENTION\nMany Important Resolutions\nAdopted Yesterday\nLabor Problems Are to Be\nDiscussed\n[Special to The Daily News.]\nVictoria, Feb. 27.\u2014The delegates to\nthe mining convention, realizing more\nthan ever that the work is going to bo\nso comprehensive that they must lose no\ntime, have decided to meet at 10 o'clock\nIn the morning and at 8 In the evening,\nhaving the afternoon for committee\nwork. This new rule will come into\nforce at once.\nThe delegates were delighted this\nmorning when premier Prior addressed\nthem and frankly assured them that he\nnever approved of the 2 per cent tax,\nrealizing that It was inequitable in\noperation. He asked the association to\nmake representations to the government definitely outlining their views so\nthat the government in endeavoring to\nprovide a substitute for the tax would\nnot levy one. equally Inequitable.\nThe proposition to request the appointment of a dominion minister of\nmines went through with very little\ndiscussion.\nTwo resolutions went through at this\nmorning's session. One declared that\nthe collection hy the government of dues\nin respect to timber and cord wood used\nby the owners upon mines and mineral\nclaims for mining purposes should be\ndiscontinued. The other was a resolution asking for the abolition of code signals, but this waB modified to ask for an\namendment to the present code.\nAnother resolution to come up will\nask for smaller fees and less exacting\nrules with respect to boiler inspection.\nAnother declares that the rights acquired under a free miner's certificate should\nnot be forfeited should that certificate\nlapse.\nAnother resolution is as follows:\n\"That for the purpose of taxation a\ncrown granted mineral claim should be\nplaced in the same position as other\nmineral claims, nnd that exemption\nfrom the tax imposed by section 145\nshould be extended to all groups of\ncrown granted claims upon any of which\nclaims assessment work for the whole\ngroup may have been performed.\"\nStill another resolution will ask that\nBritish Columbia be represented by\ncounsel at the Alaskan boundary commission.\nThe convention favors tbe reducing ot\ncrown grant fees from $25 to $10, and\nwants the government to assist in the\nsuppression ot fraudulent wild-catting.\nThe convention also passed a resolution\nln favor of allowing prospectors to stake\nclaims tn the railway belt without payment of $5 an acre, and that prospectors\non dominion railway lands bo allowed\nfree use of surface rights.\nThe convention will tackle the labor\nvs. capital proposition. This was decided upon at the afternoon session,\nafter a sharp discussion. The committee on constitution brought in a report, a clause of which declared that\nlabor problems should be eschewed. The\ncommittee explained that this had no\nreference to tbe matter of settling\nstrikes, and many members pointed out\ntbat the country waB looking to the\nassociation to reach some basis upon\nwhich to settle these disputes. The\nclause was therefore referred back to the\ncommittee to further consider it, and\nconfer with the committee on relations\nof capital and labor. Although nothing\nhas been said in convention specifically,\nIt Is known that the outlook for a settlement of the Fernle strike through the\nmediation of the committee of capital\nand labor Is bright. John H. Tonkin,\ngeneral manager of the Crow's Nest Pass\nCoal company, ts a member of It, as well\nas Chris Foley, and labor and capital\nrepresentatives speak in the kindest\nterms of the fairness of each other. It\nwould surprise no one to see a settlement reached before the close of the\nconvention.\nAfter long debate this evening a resolution was adopted fathered by S. S.\nTaylor, of Nelson, that in place of the\n2 per cent tax, a fair tax be levied on the\nnet annual product of mines.\nThe convention also asked for the appointment of a dominion metallurgical\nexpert to examine into the mineral\nresources of the province.\nA goneral disposition is shown to\nhave the next convention of the association at an Interior point. If this be\ndecided upon, Nelson almost certainly\nwill be selected, with Ihe understanding\nthat It shall come to Vancouver the\nfollowing year.\t\nVictoria, Feb. 27.\u2014The following resolutions were adopted at today's session\nof the mining convention:\nResolved, that the collection by the\ngovernment of dues In respect of timber\nand cord wood used by the owners upon\nmines and mineral claims tor mining\npurposes should be discontinued.\nThat boiler Inspection, as at present,\nis productive of groat hardship, and that\nthe legislature be urged lo amend the\nsame as follows:\n1. To reduce tho present excessive fees\nso (hat samo may conform to those prevailing In other provinces.\n2. Conformity with goneral practice\nIn other provinces nnd to accept certificate of reputable boiler Insurance companies.\n3. The present rules adopted for cal\nculating the strength and safe working\npressure of boilers are unusually and\nunnecessarily severe, and these rules\nshould be altered to conform to general\nengineering usages ln Canada and the\nUnited States.\nThat It is the opinion of this convention that the law relating to free mining\ncertificates should be amended, so the\nfailure to keep up a free miner's certificate shall not work a forfeiture of the\nrights acquired under it\nThat for the purpose of taxation crown\ngranted mineral claims should be placed\nin the same position as other mineral\nclaims, and that exemption from the tax\nimposed by section 145 of the mineral\nact should be extended to all groups of\ncrown granted claims, upon any one of\nwhich claims the assessment work for\nthe whole group may have been performed.\nThat the government be urged to\nimmediately obtain all necessary Information and advice from both miners\nand mine owners to amend the code ot\nmine signals so as to make as perfect\nand safe a code as possible.\nThe placer mining committee worked\nuntil nearly midnight last night, and has\nbeen busy again today getting Its demands ready for the convention. The\nlist of recommendations is a lengthy\none.\nThe reception committee, representing\nthe citizens and the local mining assn\nelation, contemplate taking the delegates\nfor a drive around by Oak bay and\nDallas road tomorrow.\nThe Vancouver delegates are trying\nto arrange to have the delegates allowed\nto stop off in that city for a few days\non their way home.\nBOUNDARY SHIPlSTSCOOD\nIN   SPITE    OP   LACK   OF   Fl'EI,    AT\nTHE SMELTERS.\nTHE   GRANBY   MINES   ESTABLISH   A\nNEW RECORD.\n[Special to The Dally News.]\nPhoenix, Feb. 27.\u2014This week's ore shipments from Boundary mines nre notable\nfor two things.

The\nconditions of productive industries and\nbusiness are considerably worse than\niu November, the date of my last report,\nand growing worse each month. There\nhas been some revival In sugar and\ntobacco prices due to expectation of\ntariff laws. The Interests of Filipinos\nIn sugar and tobacco are extensive, and\nthe failure of the bill will be a blow in\nthe face of those Interested. A number\nof tobacco factories will have to close,\nand many sugar haciendas will be put up\nfor sale at a sacrifice If the bill does not\npass. Customs receipts have fallen oft\nthis month one-third, showing a decrease\nof the purchasing power of the Islands.\nGeneral business Is stagnant.

Her champion bantam weight, Andy Token, was\nbeaten cleverly and decisively by Harry\nForbes, the champion bantam weight of\nthe world. Forbes had the better ot\nevery round with the possible exception\nof the seventh, in which he held his\nown. Tokell was something of a disappointment. He showed himself a strong,\nrugged fighter, with a world of force\nbehind him, but his blows could not\nconnect. Tokell's face was almost In\nribbons, while Forbes had hardly a\nscratch. Forbes fought always on thc\naggressive, and from the second round\nto thc end there never was a doubt of\nthe result.

Between $900\nand 11,000 In cash waa atolen from the\nsack, and not a single clue to the thief\nis in the possession ot either postofflce\ninspector Dorman or provincial constable Campbell, ln whose hands tbe caw\nhas been placed, and who has called the\ndominion secret service officers to hla\naid.\nOn the night of February 11th the\npostmistress at Van Anda made up her\nmall for Vancouver and placed the registered mall sack inside a larger sack\ndevoted to miscellaneous mall. The mall\nwas closed at 6 o'clock, and between II\nand 7 the sacks were turned over to the\nwharfinger by the postmistress.\nIt had been the custom of the wharfinger at Van Anda to deposit the mail\nsacks in a shed on the wharf pending\nthe arrival of the steamer Casslar en\nroute from Alert bay to Vancouver. The\nmall sacks were so disposed of on the\nevening of February 11th.\nAbout 10 o'clock the Casslar called\nand the wharfinger deposited the sacks\nwith the mall clerk. During the time\nthe Backs were in the shed on the wharf\nthe premises were under lock and key\nand the sacks themselves were locked,\nboth the large one and the smaller one\ncontaining the registered mail. When\nplaced on board the Casslar tho sacks\nhad not been tampered with, at least so\nfar as the wharfinger observed, although\nho did not pay particular attention to tbe\nfastenings. No matter how or where\nthe contents were abstracted, there was\nno violence, the sacks having evidently\nbeen opened with keys. This Ib the only\ndefinite clue.

It is obvious tbat the\ngovernment would be defeated upon the\nfirst vote taken, and the country would\nsimply have to pay a heavy bill of expense for the unnecessary recording by\ntho members of their lack of confidence\nIn the Prior administration. No other\nbusiness could be transacted unless some\nkind of a coalition government were\nfixed up, which Is neither probable nor\ndesirable.\nThere is just one effective way ln\nwhich to restore responsible government\nin British Columbia, and that is to bring\non the general elections at the earliest\npossible opportunity.\nPremier Prior could hand ln his resignation at once, but he would find some\ndifficulty In recommending a successor,\nthough it would be in order for him to\nrecommend Joseph Martin, who he has\ndeclared to be the leader of the opposition. There is precedent for his recommending Charles Wilson to his honor. In\neither event a straight party government\ncould be formed and the party lines\nissue squarely put before the country.\nIt will be useless for tbe present government to appeal to the country. That\nIs too well known for the premier to\ngive the idea a moment's consideration.\nPremier Prior's best course is to facilitate an early general election upon party\nlines. By so doing he would regain the\nconfidence of his party friends, and earn\nthe gratitude of the liberals. Nothing\nthat he can do will prevent the coming\ncampaign being waged upon party lines,\nbut he can by Judicious conduct now\nbring about what the whole province\nwants under conditions that will presage\na fair test of public opinion.\nSo many curious moves have been\npermitted by the lieutenant-governors\nof tbls province ln past political emergencies, that there is no reason to doubt\nthat premier Prior would be permitted\nto re-organlze tbe government on conservative lines, placing tbe premiership\nIn Mr. Wilson's hands, providing an\nImmediate appeal to the country followed.\nAtter all this would be the most direct\ncut to what the country wants, and so\nfor as we can see no Interest would\nsuffer, except perhaps that of the liberal\nparty, by reason of the fact that the\ntorles would control the election\nmachinery.\nHere Is an opportunity for Prior to\nclose his career as premier with lasting\nglory. He will bo recorded in history as\nthe statesman who opened the way for\nthe establishment of stable government\nIn the province. This course calls for\nsome personal sacrifice upon the part of\nthe honorable and gallant colonel, but\nhis military training will have taught\nhim that it Is a glorious thing to suffer\nfor his country.\nPremier Prior, what aro you going to\ndo about It?\nA GOVERNMENT UNDERTAKING.\nNo place ln western Canada Is more\ndirectly concerned In the proposed transcontinental railways than Edmonton.\nAll the projected roads are heading for\nthat point. Tbe people of Edmonton\nmay be deemed to be thoroughly alive\nto their own best Interests.   It Is of In\nterest, therefore, to note the prevailing\nsentiment there In regard to government\naid to private railroad undertakings.\nThis sentiment is well expressed In the\nfollowing resolution unanimously adopted at a recent public meeting in Edmonton:\n\"Whereas thc parliament of Canada\nand the several provincial legislatures\nhave given under the heading 'Aid to\nrailroads,' donations of money, land\ngrants, bond guarantee, tax and other\nexemptions the value of which especially\nin the case of roads constructed in\nwestern Canada amounts to more than\nthe cost of the roads so aided, and\n\"Whereas notwithstanding those enormous subsidies and the excessive rates\nlevied hy these roads on the traffic of\nthe territory which they were chartered\nto serve, these railways have utterly\nfailed to meet the transportation requirements of the country, in consequence of which tho people have suffered great loss and hardships and a condition of things wblch Is exasperating\nin the extreme, and very detrimental to\nthe progress and prosperity of western\nCanada, and\n\"Whereas, the government of Canada\ncan finance the construction of railways\nmuch more economically than any private corporation, and\n\"Whereas, the the only real solution of\nour transportation problem lies in the\nownership and control by the people of\nsuch a system of railways us should\nensure traffic facilities, and shall regulate traffic rates over the whole ofrthe\ncountry:\n\"Therefore, this meeting respectfully\nurges the government of Canada to proceed at once to extend ample railroad\nfacilities to the west by developing our\npresent system of government railroads\nby extending the Intercolonial railroad\nfrom Montreal to the west and eventually to the Pacific coast, as suggested by\nthe Hon. A. O. Blair, present minister\nof railways, and in conformity with the\nalmost unanimous desire of the people of\nwestern Canada.\"\nIf the people of Edmonton take this\nstand in regard to a matter that vitally\naffects their welfare, it will be well for\nthe Nelson board of trade to carefully\nweigh the merits of the various transcontinental projects before committing\nitself to the endorsation of nny scheme\nwhich seeks to secure from the government of Canada or the province aid ln\nthe form of cash or land subsidies.\nBRADSTREET'S LOST.\nImportant Decision Against Well-known\nCommercial Agency.\nMr. Justice Irving has given his\ndecision in a case of unusual Interest to\ncommercial men, as It binds agencies\nlike Bradstreet's in the conduct of their\nbusiness in Issuing reports on the standing of merchants. Last year J. A. Mara,\nof Vancouver, brought an action against\nAndy Reosbach, of Rossland, for money\ndue and joined as defendants other\ncreditors of Reosbach's, among them the\nLion Brewing company. BradBtreet's\npublished the issuance of the writ naming Mara as plaintiff and the Lion Brewing company et al as defendants, the\naction being described as a foreclosure\nof mortgage. Later the brewing concern\nbrought an action for damages against\nBradstreet's, alleging that the report issued by the agency left the Inference\nthat Mara was suing to foreclose a mortgage on the brewing plant and that the\npublication placed the brewing company\nin an entirely false light before the community and injured their credit and\nstanding.   The action was tried at Ross-\n\"Ut the GOLD DUST twins do your work.\"\nEDITORIAL NOTES.\nOur special correspondent at the convention of the mining association in Victoria telegraphs that there ts good prospect of a settlement of the strike at the.\nCrow's Nes Pass Coal company's mines\nthrough the mediation of the committee,\nequally composed of representatives of\nlabor and capital, appointed to consider\nand submit for the approval of tbe convention a scheme for the adjustment of\nindustrial disputes in this province, Mr.\nTonkin is a member of this committee,\nand labor is represented by that stalwart advocate, Chris Foley, among\nothers. If the assembling of the convention should result in the settlement\nof the Fernie strike and nothing more\nit will have accomplished a very great\ndeal.\nToday candidates for the aldermanic\nvacancy in the east ward will be nominated. If there be any sincerity in the\ncry for economy and efficiency, of\nwhich so much has been heard recently,\nW. O. Gillett will be elected by an\noverwhelming majority. Not because\nJames Ollker cannot be relied upon to\nadvocate both these principles, but\nsimply because W. O. Gillett has the\nqualifications which will materially\nassist in putting them Into practice. He\nwill bring to the council board expert\nknowledge which It now lacks. This is\nthe chief and an unanswerable argument\nin favor of Gillett's election over Gllker.\nAs private citizens there is practically\nno choice between them. Both are\nworthy of the confidence of their fellow\nelectors. The question Is, who can\nrender us the best service? For the\nreason assigned above the answer must\nbe, W. G. Gillett.\nA Montreal correspondent informs us\nthat ex-minister Tarte Is preparing to\nrun candidates on a kind ot liberal-\nunionist platform as soon as promising\nvacancies occur in the federal house,\nand on a very large scale at the next\ngeneral election. Mayor Cochrane, of\nMontreal, will be a protectionist-liberal\ncandidate in the St. Lawrence division.\nWe opine that this report may he taken\nwith a grain of salt\nInteresting developments at the trial\nof the North victoria election petition\nmay be anticipated. Attorney-general\nEberts, In tho course of a West Yale\ncampaign speech, said the North Victoria\nelection was the most dishonest election ever held In British Columbia.

C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 28,1903.\nTHE FAMINE IN SWEDEN\nPATHETIC SCENES DESCRIBED BY\nA CORRESPONDENT.\nPEOPLE    BEAR    THEIR    HUNGER\nWITH RESIGNATION.\nLondon, Feb. 19.\u2014I nave now reached\na point 45 miles within the Arctic circle\nand to Bend this message necessitated a\ndrive of 40 miles to the nearest telephone office, from which it would be\ntelephoned to Haparanda, writes the\nDaily Mail correspondent at Pajala,\nSweden.\nI crossed tho Arctic circle on Friday\nnight in n blinding snowstorm on the\nway from Matarengl to Korpllombolo.\nDuring a sledge tour of the district I\nnoted on all sides evidences of a starving population. The tempeniture on\nSaturday was 6 degrees below zero,\nFahrenheit, which was considered a mild\nday in this locality.\nThe population consists of about 2,000\npersons, scattered over a wide area.\nPractically nine out of every ten are ln\nwant, and are barely existing on the\nstarvation allowance of the relief stations. The majority of the people have\nnot tasted meat since the autumn, and\nhave had but little of the sour skimmed\nmilk which constitutes, with a hard,\nblack Swedish barley-meal bread, their\nmain sustenance. Many cattle have had\nto be killed on account of the lack of\nfodder. The relief food ln this district\nwill give out shortly, and if more is not\nthen forthcoming the people must inevitably starve.\nThe local sheriff and the pastor told\nme on Saturday that they estimated It\nwould require about *C7 to supply an\naverage family of six with just sufficient\nfood to keep them alive until June which\nis the sowing time. During the same\nperiod fodder for each cow would cost\n\u00a39. Both the sheriff and pastor regard\nthe Immediate future with the gravest\napprehension. All relief food has to be\ncarried about 70 miles after leaving the\nrailway.\nDuring my journey on Saturday I\nsaw some most depressing sights. In\nmany cases a family of eight are living\nin a small hut such as would not be used\nfor sheltering cattle in England. They\nhave scarcely any furniture, and their\nbeds are but a heap of rags. Despite the\nterrible cold, these poor people are too\nimpoverished to be able to afford proper\nwindows, and the chinks between the\nlogs are often very Inadequately stuffed\nwith moss and paper.\nOne may imagine the horrible condition of these single-roomed dwellings. In\none hut ln Korpllombolo I saw two\ntea Cups wound round with string. They\nwere the only crockery in the place. The\nhuts are picturesque to look at, but they\nhide a woeful amount of destitution and\n> hopeless misery.\nIn many cases babies are so emaciated\non account of their mothers being too\nweak to afford them sustenance that ln\nall probability scores of them will die\nbefore the summer. The nearest doctor\nto Korpllombolo lives at a distance of 49\nmiles.\nI visited two villages ten miles apart\nln the forest. In one hut I found seven\nmotherless children. Their father walked\nto Gelllvare, over 100 miles away, to find\nwork some nine months ago, but has\nnot returned, and ln the meantime the\nchildren have been kept alive by the\naid of the neighbors, as poor as themselves. The little ones are in charge of\nAnna, the eldest girl, who Is only 13,\nand the youngest Is four. The older\nchildren are stinting themselves for the\nsake of the younger. The same poverty\nprevails in all the huts around.\nIn the other village I found a woman\nmelting snow for drinking water, of\nwhich the supply Ib very short. The\nbread had nearly given out, and the villagers were overwhelmed with joy when\nsupplied with some more. Several\nstarving folk begged for food from me\nat Korpllombolo. I gave them bread and\nmeat, and an old woman, nearly blind\naad barely able to .walk, wept tears of\njoy when given meat, of which she had\nnot eaten since the summer.\nAnother woman became almost hysterical with joy when given preserved\nmeat, and expressed her thanks in the\nform of blessings in Finnish. Korpllombolo Is now one of the poorest districts In the Norrbotten province.\nThe people are bearing their hunger\nwith dumb resignation, which Is most\npathetic to witness.\nSLOCAN CITY.\nOre Shipments Coming Out Next Week.\n\u2014Local Mining News.\nAbout 12 tons of ore from the Meteor\nhas been brought down to the wharf at\nSlocan City for shipment to the Hall\nMines smelter and the Ottawa has now\nanother carload ready which will go out\nearly in the week. During the past\nseven days no shipments have been\nmade.\nThe force on the Fisher Maiden has\nbeen increased to 20 men..\nArlington stock sold last week as low\nas 20 cents.\nThe Ontarlo-Slocan Lumber company\nhave staked three fine timber limits on\nEvans creek, embracing some of the\nmost magnificent timber ln the district.\nPat McGuIre, recently in charge of the\nIron Horse, has secured a lease on the\nupper workings of the Enterprise mine,\non Ten-Mile. His lease extends over\nsix months and covers all ground down\nto the No. 3 drift. In No. 3 tunnel there\nis a pretty good chute of ore, and he will\nstope that out. When the snow goes\nthe upper end of the group will be exploited.\nW. Harrison and W. Davidson have\nreceived their returns from the two tons\nof ore recently sent to the Hall Mines\nsmelter from the Dayton. Their flrst-\nclass ore returned $39.80 in gold and 286\noz. silver, while the second-class yielded $16.40 gold and 127 oz. sliver. The\nmelting snow has forced the men from\ntheir workings on the vein, and a crosscut has been started from the side lower\ndown, so as to get under the surface nt h\nof water.\nTHE LONDON UNEMPLOYED.\nLondon, Feb. W.\u2014Tho great problem of\nthe unemployed, which is regarded as almost as serious ln London today as was\nthe case ten years ago when riotous dem-\n4 onstratlons were of frequent occurrence,\nWas thc subject of n nntlonnl conference\nheld today at Guild hall at the instance of\nthe Independent labor party. The participants included delegates from loon! authorities throughout the United Kingdom and\nrepresentatives of the chief workmen's and\nemployers' organizations. Tlie conference\ndiscussed general principles which should\nregulate municipal and other admlnjla>\ntratlve bodies in dealing with the problem.\nBefore adjornlng preliminary Bteps were\ntaken towards the formation of a permanent committee to give effect to the decisions of the conference.\nGENERAL  BOOTH'S  TOUR.\nCloses In Now York Next Week\u2014Has a\nConvert. In Senator Hanna.\nNew Yoork, Feb. 27.\u2014General Wlllam\nBooth, the founder of the Salvation army,\nafter having completed a tour of the\ngreater part' of the United States and\nCanada, has returned to New York preparatory to departing for home. As a\nfitting climax to his tour he has arranged\nto hold n monster farewell meeting m\nthe academy of music on Sunday and\nanother In the Metropolitan opera house\nnext Tuesday. Senator Hanna has accepted an Invitation to preside over the\nmeeting to be held ln the Metropolitan\nopera house.\nGeneral Booth was signally honored during his stay In Washington. The veteran\ngeneral and his party were the guests of\nsenator Hanna, who arranged a dinner nt\nthe Arlington hotel attended by members\nof tlie cabinet and of both houses of congress. He was entertained at a luncheon\ngiven by the president ln the White Houso\nand he was Invited to deliver tho invocation at thc opening of thc day's session of\nthe senate. In a newspaper Interview\nsenator Hanna expressed himself In regard to the work of the Salvation army\nas follows: \"I hnve been ln touch with\ntho movement of which general Booth\nis the head for many years, and I am In\nfull sympathy with It. I have observed\nthe good results In my own city, where I\nhave been In close- contact with the efforts\nand consequent results, and I have nlso\nnoted the outcome of the work of the Salvation army throughout bhe country. It\nIs a noblo work, being conducted conscientiously and faithfully by a devoted\nband. I nm glad to cooperate with them\nIn every way, and I nm glad to pay tribute\nof my esteem aud consideration to the\nman who Is nt the head of the movement.\"\nPaine's Celery Compound\nRapidly Repairs Wasted\nPuts it in Firm Condition\nFrom tbe System\nThe tissues of the human body are rapidly wasted by fevers, and great quantities of waste poison aro poured Into the\nblood. The rapid break down of tissue\nand thc charging of the blood with poisons,\nbring unfortunate victims to a condition\nof weakness and helplessness that tf pitiable to behold. Thousands of young and\nold who havo just passed the critical stages.\nof typhoid, inflammatory, gastric, typhus,\nintermittent and other forma of fevers,\ndemand the closest attention and best\ntreatment If life Is to be saved\nWith true candor, honesty and earnestness we suggest and urge the use of nature's nerve food and nourfsher, Paine's\nCelery Compound, the only medicine' in\nthe world that has proved its value as a\nbuilder of wasted tissue, a bracer of weak\nand Irritated nerves, a never-falling blood\npurifier and enrlcher.

They have seven\nchildren, six sons and one daughter, the\noldest being the crown prince Wllhelm,\nnow ln his twenty-first year, and the\nyoungest princess Victoria Louise, who\nwill soon observe her eleventh birth day.\nIt Is pleasing to note, In view of the royal\nscandals that so frequently agitate the\ndifferent courts of Europe, that, no matter how bitter the criticism directed to-\nward's the emperor's political policy there\ncan be nothing but praise for his clean\nnnd wholesome home life and Its complete\nfreedom from every trace of scandal since\nhe led his consort to the altar.\nA Good Morning Heal Is Assured\nWhen Tou Use\nMalt Breakfast Food\nTHE ONLY FOOD THAT SUPPLIES\nNEEDED ENERGY AND STRENGTH\nTO BODY AND BRAIN.\nDelicious and appetizing Malt Breakfast\nFood supplies in full measure the needed\nenergy and strength to body and brain\nfor each day's work.

The exposition Is\nto be a striking exemplification of the progressive spirit of new Japan. More than\na dozen buildings have been specially\nerected to accommodate the largest collection of exhibits ever shown ln Japan. In\naddition, to native products, there are exhibits from China, and also from Europe\nand America. Though America Is not so\nwell represented as It might be there are\nattractive exhibits made by several large\nfirms of Canada and the United States.\nDUKE OF BIRMINGHAM.\nContinental Rumor of Elevation of Chamberlain to the Peerage,\nLondon, Feb. 27.\u2014It has been seriously\nannounced In more than one continental\npaper this week that on his return from\nSouth Africa Mr. Chamberlain will be\nraised to the peerage as the duke of Birmingham, For a variety of reasons the\nreport is regarded here as without foundation . in the first place, It is believed that\nMr. Chamberlain, like several other men\nprominent in public life in recent years,\ncares little or nothing for a title.\nCHINESE gQMESTICS.\nTheir  Employment  In  Ontario  Becoming\nMore General at Low Wages.\nChinese labor In Ontario and the eastern\nprovinces has, up to the present time, been\nemployed almost exclusively, In connection with laundry work. We have read\nof the Chinese in British Columbln being\nemployed as domestic servants, snys the\nToronto Star, but apparently have imagined that such an evil woutd never come our\nway. So long as the Chinaman confined\nhis operations to the laundry and did not\nintrude his personality into our houses,\nthere was a disposition to tolerate him.\nIt seems, however, to bring self-respecting, high-spirited Canadian girls down to\nthe condition of \"slaveys,\" with all that\nIs implied In that degrndlng term\u2014Is to be\nsolved by the Introduction of Johnny\nChinaman Into regular domestic service.\nTho Kingston Times mnkes the assertion\nthnt already in that city men from tlie\nCelestial kingdom are engaged in washing\n.scrubbing, sweeping, and cooking, and\ndoing such other work as is necessary for\nhome comfort. U Is further asserted that\nso satisfactory Is their service that arrangements arc being made for other\nChinamen for similar positions. In other\nwords, the alleged scarcity of female labor\nfor domestic service Is to be remedied by\nthc employment of cheap Chinese labor.\nOne of the chief recommendations for the\nChinaman as a kitchen or housemaid Is\nthat the wnges he asks ore not exhor-\nbitant.\nSuch a move will doubtless be popular,\nnot only among weiilthy people In the\nlarge houses, but even more so among that\nportion of the community perhaps best\ndescribed as the salaried class. ThlB\nclass scorns to work for mere wages. They\n\"draw a salary\" and must keep a servant.\nIt is among this class that the servant\ngirl question has been the great problem.\nThey write letters to the newspapers, and\nare forever complaining of the high-handed treatment they are compelled to submit to from the terrible servant girl. This\nclass of poor, persecuted respectability,\nwhich regards the Idea of servant girl\nunions as the height of impertinence, will\ndoubtless hall with delight the prospect\nof securing Chinamen as domestic servants \"at wages that are not exorbitant.\"\nSo please, Mr. Clute, and Mr. Ralph\nSmith, don't talk any more about excluding the Chinese. Let ua have servants\ncheap.\nA GUARANTEED CURE\nFor All Forms of Kidney Disease.\nWe the undersigned Druggists are fully\nprepared to give the following guarantee\nwith every 60 cent bottle of Dr. Pettln-\nglll's Kidney-Wort Tablets, the only remedy in the world that positively cures all\ntroubles arising from weak .or diseased\nkidneys:\n\"Money cheerfully returned If the sufferer\nIs not relieved and improved after use of\none botle.

I think the price will\ngo higher in March, but if it will remain\nover the \u00a312 mark it will help us here\nvery much, provided that we obtain the\nneeded tariff increase for which we are\nworking. A combination of these two\nconditions will mean that the silver-lead\nindustry can he worked on the old\nbasis, and that there will he a return\nof old-time prosperity all through this\ndistrict, and particularly In Nelson.\nUnless we obtain the tariff change, however, the rise on the London market will\nnot benefit us very much.\"\nLUCKY BOY STRIKE.\nThe big strike on the Lucky Boy a\nfew days ago was made while sinking a\nshaft.
