C, SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1905\n&\n*e\nPROCESS IS\nSUCCESSFUL\nDr. Hendryx's Equipment\nis Installed on Reliance Property\nBit Gold Mint Now on Solid Basis With\nPerfect Equipment-All Interested in\nNines Delighted With Outlook\n-The success ot the new Hendryx cyanide process has been demonstrated ln\nUrltish Columbia within ten miles of\nNelson. Ore of a comparatively low\ngrade Is being profitably treated in tbe\nanil! of the Reliance Gold Mining com-\nipatiy, the percentage of values saved\nIbeing over 1)5. Before he would risk\nithe reputation of his process and machinery, Dr. W. A. Hendryx had the\nmine examined by an expert in 'hla interest to satisfy himself of the quantity and quality of the avallahle ore,\nand of the equipment and management\nof the property.\n'Having been satisfied on all these\npoints Dr. Hendryx forwarded the machinery, and has been in Nelson or at\nthe mine for tbe last three weeks superintending the Installation of the plant\nand putting it ln running order, with\nall the latest Improvements he has\nadded.\nOh Thursday a large party of directors and officials of the oompany paid a\nVisit to the mine and mill. The party\nincluded A. H. Kelly, president and\nmanager, T. A. Noble, John Blssell'and\njyvld S. BiBsell, of Pittsburg; D. C.\n'Johnson, of Spokane; W. P. Tierney\nand It. S. Lemile of Nelson, directors;\nH. 8. Lydick, ot Pittsburg, a stockholder, and W. J. Elmendorf, of Spokane, consulting engineer and a representative of The Daily News.\nA start was made from the Stratheona\nat 7 a.m. The mill was reached at 9.15,\nwhere Dr. Hendryx and D. Lay, mill\nsuperintendent, joined the party aud\nconducted them through the mill.\nThe equipment and arrangements of\nthe mill are ideal. The force of gravity\nis employed from the first operation to\nthe last, and efficiency and economy-together, are the result.\nThe ore ls received ln a bin at the\nlower terminal of the aerial tram, 1700\nfeet in length. The coarse ore passes\nover a slanting grizzly, then to a Blake\ncrusher, and then, with the ore that was\nalready line, passes between rolls, 36x14.\nFrom the rolls, the crushed ore falls to\nthe feed bin, from which, still by gravity, It Is passed into the Chilian mill.\nThere it is reduced to pulp and mixed\nwith a cyanide solution. The liquid\nthen passes over amalgratlon plates on\nwhich nearly 60 per cent of the gold Is\nsaved.\nThe liquid solution then passes\nthrough a series of ton storage settlers\nand thence convoyed by laudera to the\nHendryx agitator. After from six to\neight hours in the agitator the remaining gold values are on the plates .that\nare contained in it. In tbe agitator the\nsolution is continually exposed to the\nair by the revolution of the propellor,\nwhich hastens- the separating process.\nThe solution and the tailings pass\n(rom the agitator to a decanter, from\nthe bottom of which the tailings are\ndrawn away to the creek. The then\nclear solution of cyanide passes to a\nsump tank, from which by centrifugal\npumps, it is returned to the storage set-\ntiers, and from there to the original\nstorage tank, so that the same solution\nis available for use again.\nIn the evening the agitator was stopped and two plates from It .were shown\nto the visitors by superintendent Lay.\nOn each was a rich deposit of gold.\nThe amount of cyanide required for the\nprocess ls never more than a pound to\na ton of ore and averages two-fifths of a\npound. As the same solution may be\nused repeatedly, with small additions,\nand as the cost of cyanide is 23 cents a\npound, It may readily be seen that the\nprocess ls a decided success, economically as well as mechanically.\nMr. Lay has Increased the sensitiveness of the plates ln the agitator by\nusing galvanized plates for the purpose.\nDr. Hendryx Is making a further improvement \nrace, say tbey are absolutely unaccustomed to choppy water, never going out\nexcepting when bhe water Is smooth.\nAt the annua] meeting of the N. P.\nA. A, O. It was decided to hold, the\nnext regatta at Nelson between July 16\nand August 1. The question of adopting\na permanent course somewhere on the\ncoast was lald-over until next year.\nA. Whealler, Nelson, was elected\npresident of the association, and C.\nWragge, and J. W. Banlield, delegates\nfrom the Nelson Rowing club.\n*^'\u00abW\nWITTE WILL\nNOT YIELD\nReturning Non Possumus\nto the Demands of\nthe Japs\nDIVIDEND ON ARLINGTON\nERIE MINE HAS MADE $15,000 FOR\nSHAREHOLDERS.\nIS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION TO\nKEEP UP RECORD.\n'A dividend on the Arlington mine at\nErie Is announced to be paid at once.\nTho profits out of which the dividend\nwill he paid amount to ,$15,000, which\npermits the payment of a shilling a\nshare on all the stock that has been\nsold.\nThe mine has not paid a dividend for\nseveral years. Much of the work on the\nproperty has beeu devoted to development. The mine Is now in a satisfactory position from every point of view.\nAs plenty of ore Is in sight for shipment, and development . work Is well\nahead, there is no reason to doubt tbat\nthe Arlington will remain on the shipping and dlvlend paying list for a long\ntime to come.\nZINC EXPERT^ ARRIVING\nRAILWAY COMMISSION GOING TO\nCONVENE) IN WINNIPEG\nBOUNTY ON STRUCTURAL STEEL NOT\nTO APPLY O STEEL BAILS\nOttawa, Aug. ll-Thc government will\nsend an export to British Columbia to\nstudy the zinc deposits there in order to\nfind out their extent and to advise as to\nwhether they can be profitably operated.\nThe militia department has given Instructions to the department of justice to purchase the property on the opposite side of\nthe Fraser river from New Westminster\nto be used as a rlflo range for tho locnl\nmilitia, and a competitors' building is to\nbe erected upon the Lulu Island range.\nCaptain J.

Witte answered\n\u25a0\"Certainly.\"\nThe newspapers this morning seem disinclined as u whole to express their opinions of the Japanese peace terms. Russian utturances at St. Petersburg and\nPortsmouth, pronouncing the terms unacceptable, are treated here as signifying\nnothing. It is pointed out that the French\ntalked the same way ln 1871.\nPortsmouth, N. H., Aug. 11.\u2014Russia's reply to the Japanese terms of\npeace wil be delivered by M. Witte to\nibaron Komura at 9.3U ociocic tomorrow\nmorn-lug. The reply is written, there\nbeing two texts, one in French, the\nother in English. On the n,o crucial\npoints. Indemnity und the cession of\nSakhalin, the reply Is absolute non-\npossumus. Oother points are accepted as\na basis for discussion, while stm others\nare accepted conditionally. The reply\nis rather long, because in enumerating\nthe conditions upon whicli discussion is\nadmitted and those upon which consideration ls declined, reasons and arguments are given. The Japanese plenipotentiaries are expected to ask for an\nimmediate adjournment to examine and\nprepare their reply.. Al. Witte will probably intimate that the Russian plenipotentiaries expect the Japanese to display as much expedition as they (the\nRussians) have shown in the preparation of their response. Monday, therefore, is expected to be the day on which\nthe real discussion will begiu. Neither\nside wants to Indulge lu diplomatic\nsparring. The time for fencing Is over\nand less than a week must decide\nwhether a basis of peace is possible.\nThe tactics of the Japanese are in-\nscrutalble. They have shown throughout the war their ability to guard their\nsecrets military, uaval aud diplomatic,\nand now not the remotest elite conies\nfrom behind their closed doors as to\nwhether they are prepared to make substantial concessions. Silence und secrecy are their watchwords. But if the\nconditions as submitted constitute their\nlast word, hope of peace may be regarded as having disappeared, if the\nfeeling rellecied in Russian circles is a\ntrue criterion, aud that no substantial\nconcessions on the main Issues will be\nmade is the belief in both Russian and\nJapanese circles. J\nTonight In the inner camps of both j\nplenipotentiaries the deepest pessimism\nreigns. M. Witte, It is positively\nknown, believes the prospects of an\nagreement are so remote aB to be practi-\ncall nil. He has no desire to prolong\nthe agony and instead of fencing when\nthe plenipotentiaries come together after the Japanese have had the opportunity to examine the reply, there ls\nstrong reason to believe he will not only\nwelcome but will Insist upon an immediate discussion of ail the proposed bases.\nThut the Japanese terms in so far as\nthey touch the main points will not be\nWithdrawn or materially modjlfled is\nhe opinion of the most competent\nauthorities on the ground who will talk\nfor publication, namely J. K. Matsu-\nmato, a member of the Japanese parliament, who ls here as financial emissary of Japan. \"The conditions in their\nbroad outlines,\" said ho tonight, \" have\nbeen substantially understood to us In\nJapan, and the Russians will be much\nmistaken If they Imagine the Japanese\nwill not insist upon the chief points,\nthe Indemnity and the concession of Sakhalin. To surrender either is impossible. If baron Komura should yield\non these points, public feeling In Japan\nwould be so strong that he would tie mur\ndered on his return to Japan. We must\nibe reimbursed for the cost of tbe war,\nand we have national claims to Sakhalin which we have never forgotten.\n\"Japan has no desire to humiliate\nRussia more than Is necessary, and even\nnow Is seeking to avoid wounding Russia's susceptibilities, but public opinion\nin Japan is absolutely so firm on the\nmain Issues that no Japanese statesman\ncould possibly dare to withdraw the\nterms which have been proposed as a\nbasis of peace.\"\nParla, Aug. 11\u2014The Japanese peace conditions produced a rather depressing feeling in ofllcial circles, the terms being considered somewhat hard. It ls, however,\nthe prevailing view that Japan's last word\nhas not been spoken. It Is pointed out\nthat she bus hitherto displayed a fervent\ndesire for tbo cessation of this undesirable\nwar and will likely relax some of her conditions laid down, and thus pave the way\nfor the Russian acceptance of them.\nShould the dittlcultles become acute, the\nAssociated Press learns mediatory influence will be exerted with a view of bringing the negotiations to a successful Issue,\nSt. Petersburg, Aug 12\u2014Japan's demands,\nas predicted, have served to amy the Russian government and people under the\nsame bunner for the first time since tho\nbeginning of the war, and It is evident\nthat M. Witte will ilnd almost solid support at his back which ever answer be may\nmake, to baron Komura.\nWith scarcely an exception every voice la\nraised urging government to hold out\nagainst Japan's principal demands.\nThe Russ tday declares: \"If these are\nJapan's conditions, all hope for peace has\nvanished.\"\nTokio Aug. 11\u2014The Japanese people arc\nfollowing tlie proceedings at Portsmouth\nkeenly but calmly. They aro hopeful of\npeace, but are Inslste1i| upon satisfactory\nconditions, and are prepared to continue\nthe struggle 11! the m-guiiatlons fail.\nGREAT RUSH TO MIDWAY\nONLY TENT ACCOMMODATION FOR\nNEWCOMERS.\nBIG BUILDING BOOM IS NOW\nPROGRESS.\nIN\nLondon, Aug. 11\u2014\"Reasonable and legitimate,\" is the general] verdict of the London newspapers on the Japanese peace\ntrrms, which are discussed entirely from\nthe text furnished by the Associated Press\nregarding Japan's conditions. The press.\nIn a chorus, urge Russia to accept the\nterms and avoid further bloodshed and\nensure a lusting poaco. All the newspapers\nurge entirely from a Japanese standpoint,\nbut It Is generally conceded that the fact\nthat the negotiations are now almost certain to continue Is in, Itself a long step\ntowards peace. The more conservative\npapers believe tbat the terms afford a\nchance for bargaining and suggest that It\nIs not Improbable thut the Japancso will\nfinally yield on tho questions of fishing\nrights, Interned ships and other minor matters. On the main questions of reimbursements and the cession of Sakhalin, how-\nover, there Ib no division of opinion.\nTho Dally Telegraph says: \"There Is\nboth an ancient and a modern precedent\non the side of Japan. Our allies mean\nwhat they say and they meant what they\nBald prior to the war. Is there going to\nbe a repetition of the blunder ot thinking\nthat Japan's irreducible minimum Is reducible?\"\nBerlin, Aug 12-The Lokal Anzelger's\ncorrespondent at Portsmouth cabled that\ntie asked M, Witte If the Japanese terms\n(Special lo The Dally News)\nMidway, Aug. ll.\u2014The rush to Midway still continues until there is not a\nvacant building in the towu and the river bank is dotted with tents which are\naffording homes to numerous people\nuntil such times as they can obtain lumber aud put up buildings.

The letter Is very long and\ngives a most realistic account of the 10\n(days' fighting that transpired before the\nJapanese were in possession of Mukden.\n'Whilst space will not permit of the reproduction of, this letter ln full, below\nla given the officer's account ot the\nelxth of the Mukden battles.\n., \"The sixth, the hottest and worst,\nIbloodiesL and most savage, of the whole\naoNea of the Mukden battles. The\nRussians held a line from Sansenho to\nNeagyoho, while we ranged ourselves tn\nand oil-out Gyorimho, which Is albout\nfour miles west of Mukden station. The\ndoggedness of that Russian defence!\n(Heavy guns and light guns, bandy\n\u2022mountain guns, and little dynamite -guns,\nfill joined in the bombardment of their\npositions, while the heroic Russian\ngunners replied shot for shot and shell\nCor shell. Attacks and counter-attacks\nsucceeded each other like the figures on\na fairy lantern. We fought with rifles,\nwe fought with bayonets, then with\ngrenades, and with shovels and picks,\nand even with fists. Why, it's no more\nnor less than a gigantic street brawl.\nOne of the battalion commanders was\nkilled and the colonel wounded severely,\nand one after another the company officers went down. Once when I whistled\nto the buglers and the charge was\nsounded, just barely 40 out of a battalion\nof skirmishers leaped to their feet, and\nthe rest remained still\u2014no cowards, but\ndead men\u2014dead at their posts. Tbose\nwho responded to the call had no right\nto do so; they ought to have been in\nthe ambulances. That day's doings\ncould never be told vividly enough with\nmy pen, and, perhaps, no words could\never do justice to the bravery of tbe\nmen, Russian and Japanese, and the\nhardships they endured. The Russians,\nfive or six times our number, charged\ntime after time so resolutely, up to our\npositions tbat some of them actually\npassed through the flrst line\u2014but they\nnever returned. These are tbe fresh\ntroops from the reserves\u2014determined,\nbecause of the knowledge tbat on their\naction hangs the fate of Kumpalkiu and\nbis army, Su that day success remained\nwith the Russians, m spite of all our\nenorts. Well, they ueserveu it. At\ntue suggestion oi au otlicer ot the stall!\ncorps we volunteered to rush the woras\nthe same nigiit.

At\nthe mens earnest request a deputatlou\nof oincers aud men wus sent to the divisional commanuor, who gave them tue\nrequested permission, hot without some\nhesitation. All the unwounded of our\ncompany ottered themselves to a man,\nand formed up\u2014in laet they all offered\nthemselves; but we were compelled to\ntake only the uuwounued.

It made me\nthink. I have seen almost all the Important actions since the war began, yet\nI am here still and about to lead my\ntrusted and tried heroes to almost certain annihilation.

IS ENDORSED\nUNANIMOUSLY.\nThe liberal convention, lield in Calgary at tlie close of last week was a\nbigiilyi successful and representative\ngathering, delegates being in attendance\nfrom every section of Alberta. The proceedings were marked by the entire absence of any discord, the delegates being\nenthusiastically unanimous in drawing\nup their platform for the approaching\nprovincial election.\nThe liberal platform is made up of 16\nclauses, dealing with the most important questions of the day, and includes\nan emphatic party deliverance on provincial rights. The full text of the\nplatform adopted is as follows:\n1. Resolved that this convention of\nthe liberals of the new province of Alberta, having been called for the purpose of organizing a provincial liberal\nassociation aud consisting of representatives from all parts of the province,'\nhereby expresses its adherence to those\npolitical principles which have ever\ncharacterized the liberal or reform party\nin Canada and elsewhere, and which\nconsist in the conviction (1) that the\nIntelligent opinion of the people is the\ntrue and just source of all political\npower; 2) that the administrators of\npublic affairs should he under continued responsibility to the electorate; t3)\nthat the true end of government is the\npromotion of the welfare of the masses\nof the people by the creation and preservation, so far as It is possible by the\"\naction of the state, of equal opportunities in life for every individual, by the\nvigorous repression of all encroachment\non the rights of the people on the part\nof monopolistic corporations, by amelioration of the conditions of life and the\nredress of injustice, by a steady orderly\nand progressive administration of affairs, and by watchful and continued attention to the wants of those new settlers, whose courage, industry and\nthrift are creating the prosperity of the\nwest.\n2. Resolved that this convention adheres to the principle of provincial\nrights, and is determined to maintain\nintact and unimpaired the full legislative and executive authority of the province of Alberta under the constitution\nof Canada.\n3. Resolved that this convention hereby declares its belief that the government of the new province should maintain an efficient system of common\nschools In order to meet the wants of\nthe settler, and to extend to the children\nof all classes of the population an equal\nopportunity to obtain a good primary\neducation that this system should receive liberal financial assistance from\nthe public revenues, and that all schools\nreceiving such assistance and supported Dy taxation should he subject in\nevery particular to the direct and continued supervision, regulation, and control of the provincial department of education.\n4. Resolved that In all provincial legislation and administration the destf*\nability of retaining or acquiring control\nof all provincial franchises should be\nkept steadily in view, and that while\nbusiness enterprise should he recogni^\ned and promoted in every legitimate way\nnevertheless no laws should he passed\nor acts done which would shackle the\nfreedom of the people iu respect thereto.\n5.Resolved that, Inasmuch as the progress and prosperity of the province will\ndepend almost entirely upon the development of Its agricultural and ranching\nIndustries, the provincial government\nshould assist these industries ln every\npossible way and particularly by the\nestablishment of a system of dairy instruction, by encouraging cheese factories, creameries, forestry, and fruit growing, 'by assisting the farmers and farmers' associations to improve breed of\nlive stock of all kinds, by assisting agricultural fairs, by encouraging the full\npreparation of all such products for the\nmarket in the most condensed and remunerative form, by the collection and\ndissemination among the farmers and\nranchers of the latest and fullest information as to the best available markets\nand by extending to them every legitimate assistance in reaching those markets with the least possible loss of profit through excessive freight rates or\nthe intervention of middlemen.\n6. Resolved that this convention is in\nfavor of a strong economical and business administration of public affairs\nwith prompt attention without unnecessary routine to the wants or the people\nin all parts of the province.\n7. Resolved that inasmuch as the\ntrue development of the province and\nthe prosperity of its citizens depends in\na very large measure upon the enjoyment of proper facilities In all parts of\nthe country for easy access to markets,\nand Inasmuch as the rapid influx of population and the establishment of new\nsettlements render it Impossible and also\nunwise that the new local improvement\ndistricts with their limited powers\nshould be called upon to provide such\nfacilities without material assistance\nfrom the provincial revenues, therefore,\nthis convention declares its belief that\nthe government should adopt without\ndelay a vigorous and practical policy of\nbridging the more important streams\nand of maintaining a first class system\nof main thoroughfares to all market\ntowns, the cost of which should he largely met out ot the public funds of the\nprovince.\n8. Resolved that Inasmuch as the provinces westward of the Great Lakes are\n\u2022peculiarly interested in the establishment of a new route to the seaboard alternative to that afforded by railways\nto the Atlantic coast, and Inasmuch as\nthe creation of two new provinces out of\nthe Northwest Territories gives the first\nopportunity for co-operation with this\nend in view, therefore this convention is\nof the opinion that the earliest possible\nsteps, should 'be taken to secure joint action hy the governments of Manitoba,\nSaskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, in order to ascertain definitely\nand finally the feasibility, of the Hudson Bay route as an outlet for our commodities, and to decide upon the best\nmethod of constructing a railway by\nthat route to tide-water, \u2022 whereby the\nlong land haul may be diminished by\none half, and the ocean voyage to .European 'ports also materially decreased.\n9. Resolved that this convention recognizes the great importance of the\nmining industry in the commercial life\nof the provinces, and believes that the\nprovincial government should foster and\nencourage this industry In every way.\n10. Resolved that this convention regrets the necessity which existed for the\nintroduction into the Alberta Act of a\nclause continuing the exemption of railway lands from taxation, and Is in favor of the government urging upon the\nfederal authorities the advisability of\nremoving the restriction at as early a\ndate as possible.\n11. Resolved that this convention believes that the new provincial government should take the earliest possible\nsteps to induce the federal government\nto set aside a sufficient part of the public domain as a permanent endowment\nfor a provincial university, and an agricultural college in connection therewith.\n12. Resolved that inasmuch as the\nrevenues provided for the province under the Alberta Act are sufficient to\nmeet all the present requirements of\nthe province and are subject to large\nincreases from time to time in proportion to the growth of our population,\nthis convention declares its belief that\nthere should be no necessity to incur\nany provincial public debt, or to pledge,\nalienate, or hypothecate the assets of\nthe province to meet any real public\nneed.\n13. Resolved that In all the municipal legislation of the new province the\ngovernment should be careful to give\nfull opportunity to municipalities to retain or acquire control of all public\nutilities whenever they desire to do so,\nand to protect them in every possible\nway against the encroachments of private corporations.\n14. Resolved that this convention\nhereby expresses its belief that in the\nestablishment of ull public institutions\nand the erection of all public buildings,\ndue attention should be paid to the requirements of all parts of the province,\nand that in selecting locations for the\nsame the government should consider\nthe public convenience and the quick\ndespatch of business.\n15. Resolved that this convention believes In the vigorous administration of\njustice by a firm enforcement of the\ncriminal law, and a simple method of\nprotecting civil rights.\nThe officers elected were:\nA. C. Rutherford, Stratheona, president; vice-presidents. C. W. Cross, A.\nR. Dixon, W. H. Gushing, A. B. Mc-\n\u25a0Donaldt; secretary-treasurer. Charles\nStuart.\nMAIL'S EMPIRE LESSONS\nHOME POLITICS VIEWED FROM\nIMPERIAL STANDPOINT.\nBRITAIN IN THE SEA WITH THE\nBRITAINS BEYOND.\nTho London Daily Mail's twenty-fifth\n\"Empire Lesson\" is devoted to a review\nof the present political situation in\nBritain, and is entitled, \"Thoughts on\nthe recent crisis\" referring to Mr. Balfour's defeat in the house of commons\non a question connected with the' administration of Ireland.\nThe article is as follows;\nThe political crisis of last week-end\nhappened very opportunely. Following\nhard upon the trail of a series of hy-\neleclious that for three years have consistently either gone against the gov-,\neminent or seriously reduced the majorities of its candidates, and coming so\nquickly after Mr. Balfour's appeal to\nUnionist members of parliament for\ntheir regular and untiring support, the\ndefeat of the ministry after an eight-\nhour's debate on an Important question\nof Irish administration, and in a comparatively full house, was universally regarded as an event that called for exceptional treatment. Few political occurrences of recent years have given\nrise to more excitement or speculation;\nand it fortunately fell at such a moment\nas to give patriotic and thinking Britons ample time to think the situation\nout carefully before any definite pronouncement as to the Intention of the\ngovernment was made.\nThe thoughts and desires of average\nBritishers\u2014and under that head are Included the vast majority of the adherents of both political parties\u2014trend all\nin the same direction. That there is a\nnumber who are influenced solely by the\nparty label we know; but after all they\nare the minority, and may for our present purposes be ignored. The rest are\nBritons Ilrst and liberals or torles after;\ntheir first desire is for a policy\u2014no\nmatter from which party it emanates\u2014\nwhich shall unite Britons and exalt the\nBritish empire.\nThere are now before this country definite proposals, formulated by an imperial statesman of no mean ability,\nthat Great Britain shall respond to tho\nunanimous appeal of British states oversea and join them in a great Imperial\ncustoms union. The answer of the liberal party to this, is that there has been\nno appeal made from oversea, and that\neven If there had been, to respond to it\nwould lend to irretrievable disintegration rather than to closer and more sympathetic union. They go so far as to\nback their arguments by pointing out\nto the British working man that a tax\nof two shillings a quarter ou corn would\ndrive him to starvation, and to the British farmer\u2014what there is left of him\nafter sixty years of \"Free Trade\"\u2014 that\ntbe price of corn would be so reduced\nby the Increased production of and importation from Canada and India that\nhe would be ruined, That appears to\nus to be a two-edged sword that cuts the\nwlelder's throat both ways.\nBritish world supremacy, which has\nbeen ours lor the best part of three hundred years, and which is ours to retain\nfor three hundred more, will in these\ndays of great and growing empires only\nbe maintained If the permanent unity\nof the British people is assured. Great\nBritain alone, Canada, Australia, 'New\nZealand, or South Africa, alone, could\nnever hope to retain unassailable the\nsupremacy that the United Kingdom\nwon in days when empires, as they now'\nexist, were unknown; and for that reason the closer binding of the British,\npeople is a condition essential to the\nmaintenance of the empire's supremacy,\nand one which, when It is achieved, will\ngreatly simplify the conduct of our relations with foreign powers.\nAt the present moment these relations\ngive every .sign of complicated cordtal-\n.Ity. The British government is authoritatively, reported to be at this moment negotiating an extension of the\ntreaty with Japan. At the same time\nwe are on most excellent terms of friendship\u2014-for which we paid heavily enough\n\u2014with France, who Is the ally of Japan's enemy. Germany and France are, it\nseems, fated to be everlasting enemies-\ncovert enemies, perhaps, hut enemies\nnevertheless; while one of the probabilities of the future Is an alliance between Germany and Russia. Then\nagain, M. Witte, the peace plenipotentiary whom the czar ls sending to Portsmouth (New Hampshire) to negotiate\nwith the Japanese representatives, is\nstated to be empowered to conclude a\ntreaty with the nation with whom at\npresent his country is at war. Simultaneously we have proposals for an\nAnglo-United States amalgamation, or\nsomething equally stupid, while a prominent United States administrator has\nbeen writing of the possibilities and\nblessings of a monstrosity which he calls\nan \"Anglo-American Navy.\" That\nwould be a> delightfully cheap navy for\ntho United States.\nIf these facts prove the general desire of the nations oPthe world for alliances they also demonstrate fairly\nclearly what the real value of alliances\nis. A very little thought will give an\nidea of the absurdity of the situation.\nImagine Russia allied with Germany,\nFrance and Japan, while Germany Is at\nloggerheads with France and Japan; and\nGreat Britain at the same time allied to\nJapan, while Germany is ostentatiously\npreparing a fleet to contest with us the\nsupremacy of the seas. The whole situation is ludicrous, and abounds with Incongruities.\nAt the best an alliance with a foreign\npower is but the registration of the\nwhims and fancies, combined with a\nthought for the necessities, of the moment. Allied with a foreign power a\nnation loses a certain large proportion\nof its individuality and independence of\naction, because it must perforce shape\nits policy, not according to Its own\nneeds alone, but with a view always to\nthe position and circumstances of its\nally. Mere friendship, even, may lead a\nnation into a peculiar position. We are\nfriendly with Japan, and so have withdrawn our fleet from the western Pacific. We are friendly with the Uuited\nStates, so we have denuded the eastern\nPacific and the western Atlantic of fighting ships. We enjoy an entente cordiale\nwith France, and so reduce our strength\nIn the Mediterranean. This Is a great\nadvantage, our legislators ten us, because it enables us to concentrate our\nfleet in home waters and to keep a\nwatchful eye on Germany and a strong\narm ready to strike; but it makes us\nwonder what would happen should the\nkaiser suddenly become imbued with a\ndiplomatic friendly feeling towards us.\nThero would then be no place left to\nwhich we could withdraw our ships.\nFriendship with foreigners Is a very\ndesihable thing; to trust in It Implicitly\nIb another matter, for a superficial acquaintance with history will show that\nthere is but one nation that abides honorably by its treaty obligation. In any\ncase the state of flux in which the\nworld now Is provides ample warning\nagainst too great or too simple a confidence.\nGreat Britain wants nothing so much\nas alliances, but uot with foreign powers, with whom, after all, there can toe\nlittle community of interest and still less\nof kindred sympathies. British blood\nmarks Britain's allies, and Infinitely the\nbest policy for the empire is one that\nwill strengthen and cement the bonds\nthat bind in one firm, immutable whole\nBritain in the sea with the Britains beyond. That is the policy for which\npatriotic Britains hunger. They know\nit is not knidly regarded by the leader\nof the liberal party; they cannot ascertain with certainty whether the conservative leader is sympathetic or not. He\nclaims to be, but there his sympathy appears to end. Of one man, however,\nthere Is no doubt. Every day fresh adherents are flocking to the' Imperial\nstandard of Mr. Chamberlain, and even\nnow the great majority of the conservative party actively support him. The\nbrake on the wheels of progress ls a\nparty leader to whom party Is above\ntrue patriotism; but the spirit pf the age\nIs irresistible. Either it will carry him\nalong or It will trample him underfoot.\nIt will not always, nor for long, be his\ntool.\nCOLIC AND DIARROHEA-A REMEDY\nTHAT IS PROMPT AND PLEASANT\nThe prompt results produced by Chanv\nbej-iiuln'8 Oollc, Cholera and Dlarrohea\nRemedy together with Us pleasant taste\nr 0 P U 3.16 Easy terms\none of the finest\nIMPROVED\nRANCHES\nin the Boundary Country\n640 ACRES\nwell fenced, good buildings, fertile soil,\nand plenty of water.\nFive acrea bearing orchard, 100 acres\nIn crop, will make an ideal home and an\nexcellent investment.\nApply to\nFrederic W.

Q.

C. Elliot of Ymir, coroner, resulted\nIn an all day session at the city hall and\nAnally, after a nearly exhaustive hearing\nof tho evidence, th\u00a9 Jury rendered a verdict\nwhich declared that Clparro came to his\ndeath through an unavoidable accident;\nthat the police department was to bo congratulated in the person of sergeant Arthur\nPltehfoi-d and that the lire department was\nto be thanked for Its efficiency In keeping\nVie flre to the place of Its outburst.\nTne jury empanelled was W. A. Jowett,\nforeman, J. O. Patenaude, J. A. Kelly,\nR. Weir, A. J. Kerr, and P. Lamont.\nAfter viewing the remains at the morgue\nthe jury was taken round to the Grandview\nhotel and shown over the scene of the lire,\nIncluding the rooms which were occupied\nhy the men that escaped through the\nWindows and the spots outside where they\nwere alleged to have fallen.\nAfter convening at the city hall the first\nwitness called was John O'Loughlin, who\ndeposed that he was the owner of the\nhotel and lived upon the premises. About\n2:80 on the morning of August 9th he\ndiscovered the flre by an alarm being given\nby Mrs. Plummer, who roomed behind\nhim on the street floor. Tho flre was burning at the back of the building. When he\ngot outside the flre was all over the back\nto the roof and coming up the side. Witness could not see where the flre originated. The flre was worst at the back.\nThe kitchen was ln the north corner of\nthe building, on the floor Immediately below the street level; the dining room was\nalso on that floor, Witness said that coal\nwas used in the kitchen range and sometimes ln the morning It would still be\nalight, Witness saw the range last at\n10 o'clock at night. The fire was still\nalight as usual.\nDeceased occupied room 14 on the top\nfloor, the fourth room from the front of\nthe building on the east sldo. The window was about 26 feet from the ground\".\nThere was no flre escape to the building\nexcept the series of verandas and steps\nconneottng at the back of tho building.\nThe door of room 14 Is about 11 feet from\nthe front stairway; 30 feet from the back\nstairway.\nWitness found deceased lying at tho\nnorthwest corner of the building about\na foot back from the corner, along the\nwest side. He was lying head down. Ho\nlooked as If he had Jumped from the end\nwindow on that side or from the buck\nveranda. Had he Jumped from his own\nwindow he certainly must have been seen.\nThere was plenty of people around. Witness picked up tho deceased and took him\nacross the alley and got some water.\nDecensed sat up and spoke. Witness\nfound deceased about 20 minutes after\nhe got up. A hack was called and deceased was sent to the hospital.\nBy the foreman\u2014When Mrs. Plummer\nwoke witness there was no fire visible,\nonly smoke, The front stairway was\nablaze. Witness could not get up to warn\nhis boarders. Thero were nine people upstairs including his brothers, Ave of these\ngot out by the front rooms. Gas, oil and\nelectric light were used ln the house. In\nthe kitchen and all through the house excepting the bedroom, electric light was\nused. In the bedrooms, excepting two\nlamps were used. The brother of witness\noccupied one of those rooms, fronting\nthe street. Chief Llllle Inspected the\nbuilding several times and seemed satis-\nfled. Nobody since; that would be a year\nor more ago. Witness hud never been\nnotified that an act wns ln existence providing for lire escapes In each room. The\nGrandview had been used as a. boarding\nDr.-Price's\nCREAM\nCONTAINS NO ALUM, LIME OR AMMONIA\nMade of pure cream of tartar, it safeguards the health\nof the family.\nPrice Baking Powder Go,\nCHICAGO, U.S. A.\nhouse since its building, five years ago.\nSergeant Pltchford of the police force,\nstated that he was on duty on Lake street,\nHis first glimpse of the flre was from the\nrear. The whole of the rear of the building was on Are. He saw two men hanging from the second window from the\nfront on the east side. Neither was the\ndeceased. Witness got the ladder from\nthe combination truck. One fellow dropped\nbefore the ladder was up, he broke his\nleg. Tho second slipped down the ladder\nand his fall was broken hy witness. Witness was of the opinion that the men on\nthe top floor could have come down the\nfront. The reason they did not was probably because they lost their heads. The\nladder was short but the man who slipped\ndown it could have been reached had he\nwalled another second.\nLeone Clparro stated that he was the\nyounger brother of Manlio Clparro, the\ndecensed. His brother, while going to the\nhospital told witness that he had been\nalarmed by the flre; that he had opened\nthe door and the flumes were In front of\nhim. He went to the window and could\nnot see below because of the flames whicli\nburned his face and hair. He jumped out\nand crawled, away to the bushes. The\ndoctor prevented his brother from talking any more. Deceased told him to go\nbuck for his cont which contained $100.\nHe could not find It; It was probably\nburned up. His brother 'had' occupied room\n14. Witness and his brother had been\naway from Italy for about a year. They\nhud spent ten months In Winnipeg and\ntwo weeks and a half hero and were going\nto Rossland the next day. There was another mnn in the room with the deceased.\nHe slept with him. That man must have\ngot out on the other side of the building.\nHe was In tho room when tha deceased\njumped out.\nOscar McMillan testified that about 10\nor 15 minutes after tho flre started he saw\na man at the flrst window of the top floor\nfrom the back on the weat side. A cloud\nof smoke hid him and the next witness\nsaw, n few minutes afterwards, was a man\nbeing dragged away from the foot of the\nbuilding below the window. Witness did\nnot see the fall; he heard some one cry\nout) \"There, he jumped!\" The bank of\nthe building was all ablaze.\nThe Inquest then adjourned until 2 p.m.\nAt the afternoon session the first witness\nculled was Dr Rose who attended Capnfrro\non the night of the accident. Ho described\nthe condition of tho deceased nt the time.\nHe had a compound fracture of the thigh\nand other injuries. He was hardly In a\ncondition to talk Intelligibly of what had\nhappened. He did not soem to know exactly what had occurred. Ho died of the\nshook of his Injuries nearly 24 hours nfter the accident. His room mate Is now\nIn tho hospital suffering severely from\nburns. He Is the man who sat In the window. Witness wns told this by the injured man in the hospital. Tho deceased\nwas not ln a condition to crawl any distance after he fell, nothing like even 20\nfeet; certainly not from the other side of\nthe building.\nRobert Schoppert, who was a boarder\nnt the Grnndviow hotel, rooming In the\nInst room baok on the east side, next to\nthat of deceased, was awoke by the flre,\nHe opened his door and flames wore In tbo\npassage. He closed it, smashed open the\nwindow, jumped out on the porch, which\n-he found afire below, stood on the rati of\nthe porch and jumped for a tree behind the\nbuilding, caught a branch and descended.\nTho flre was coming up the back way.\nThomas Sargent, chief of the flre brigade,\nstated thnt the flre hail was warned by\ntelephone of the flre; that ho went down\nto the scene and laid one line of hose from\nthe corner of Josephine and Vernon streets.\nThe wagon taken down was the combination\u2014hose and chemical. There was an\nextension ladder, extending 18 feet, which\nwas used to save the two men on the\neast side by sergeant Arthur Pltchford and\na member of the brigade. When the wagon\nleft the hall tho Grandview was on flre\nin the basement, on the north end, along\nthe roof und was bursting through the roof.\nOn arriving at tho Bcene witness took\nohnrgc on the enst side, while the assistant chief had another line of hose on the\nwest side. The men on the east side had\ndropped before the witness had returned\nfrom the hydrant; had they held on for\neven 20 seconds there would havo been\nno broken leg; as It was the ladder broke\nthe fall of the second man. Tho room\nwhence the man was taken\u2014the man who\nspeaks seven languages-was a room on\ntho west side, opposite to No. 14. JJ\nwould seem that the occupants of No. 14\ngot out of the building on the west side.\nWitness knew nothing of the man who\ndied. He heard of him during the Are and\nsearched for him afterwards. He had no\nhope of saving the building and thought\nhe would he doing well If he prevented tho\nspread of the flre. The flre probably started in the kitchen where the greatest damage was done. The fire wont to the north\nend, up to the baok and then Into the\nbuilding through the rear doors. It was\npossible at any time to use the front stair-\nwav, though full of smoke. The rear\nstairway was impassible and would have\nbeen Impassible even If of iron. A rope\nin each bedroom would have been a help,\nif the occupant kept his head. Had the\noccupants, however, kept their heads, they\nwould have escaped down the front stairway Instead of using the windows.\nBy the foreman-Additional ladders were\n' sent for. Witness believed that, the deceased was out of the building before the\nflre department got to the scene.\nF. D. Morrison, assistant chief, said that\nthe deceased had not come out of the\nwest side of the building after witness\nhad gone there. Deceased must have\nJumped before the *hoBe wagon got there.\nOne man waa rescued from the top window\nhy the witness. He was the man who\nspeaks the languages. The man was sitting In the window before the' ladders\nwere put up* Those ladders came on the\nBecond wagon. The window below was occupied by Roy Sharpe, who said it was as\nhot as he could stand. The window below\nthat was pretty well a solid sheet of flre.\nIt was that which scorched the man who\ngot down the ladder. The hose could not\nbe played Into that window for it might\nhave knocked down the ladder.\nThis conoluded tho evidence presented by\nchief Jarvis and as the Jury thought that\nthey had sufficient before them, they retired to consider their verdict, which after\nthree-quarters of an hour's deliberation,\nwas thus given:\n, \"We find that the deceased, Manlio Clparro, died from Injuries resulting from\nburns and from a full from the burning\nbuilding known as tho Grandview hotel,\nVernon street, Nelson, for which accident\nno person Is to blame and\n\"This jury strongly recommends that the\nproper authorities forthwith enforce the\nprovisions of the not known as the Fire\nEscapes act, and particularly clause No.\n4, which demands that ropes shall be placed\nIn each sleeping apartment and\n\"This jury highly commends the conduct\nof sergeant Pltchford for the prompt assistance at the fire In question and also\nthe efficient work of the flre department\nIn confining the flro to tho building In\nwhich It originated.\"\nCHINESE ON TOP.\nPolice Magistrate's Decision on Laundries Reversed With Costs.\nHis honor judge Porln yesterday handed out his Judgment in the Hip Chong\nappeal. The learned judge reverses the\ndecision of the police magistrate with\ncosts against the city.\nIn the course of a lengthy written\nJudgment the court says:\n\"This is an appeal from a conviction\nof the police magistrate of the city of\nNelson under which the appellant waa\nfined $25 for operating a laundry without having the same connected with the\nwater works system of the said city contrary to the provisions of By-law No.\n120, being the \"Laundry Regulation Bylaw, 1902.\"\n\"The material part of the by-law in\nquestion is the first provision contained\nIn paragraph 3, which reads as follows:\n'That all laundries or wash houses operated within the city of Nelson shall\nbe properly connected with the water\nworks system.'\n\"The facts are: That certain Chinese\nlaundrymen have wells dug on their\npremises and are using this water for\nlaundry purposes. The effect of this\nconviction ls to deprive them of the use\nof their wells, and compel them to use\ncity water.\n\"It was agreed by the counsel for the\nrespondents that It makes no difference\nas to the quality ot the water, as the\nprovision compelling connection with the\ncity water works system is a reasonable\nway of ensuring public health as to\nlaundries and is a reasonable condition\nprecedent to carrying on laundries.\n\"If the municipality had the power\ngranted by the legislature to compel\nconectlon with the city water system\nthen It might be a reasonable thing to\ncompel laundries to connect, but In the\nabsence of this power the appellant can\nnot be compelled to connect with the\ncity water system.\"\nMORE GERMAN CAPITAL.\nLessees of Molly Hughes Take Bond on\nCalifornia Group.\nThe California mines, near New Denver, have been bonded for 16 months to\na syndicate of German capitalists represented In British Columbia by William Brenner. The owners of the property are P. Burns, W. J. WllBon, F.\nM. Black and several other local stockholders .\nThe negotiations have been in progress for nearly a month, W. J. Wilson\nrepresenting the vendors and Sharp &\nIrvine the purchasers. The purchase\nprice originally agreed upon has been\nIncreased in consideration of a larger\ninterest and more gradual payment.\nThe sum Is a very satisfactory one for\na mine only partially developed.\nW. Brenner will manage the California group, operating It in conjunction\nwith the neighboring group, the Mollie\nHubes, which he secured several weeks\nago. The principals In each case are\nthe same, a group of German capitalists\nwho havo confidence in British Columbia mines.\nMr. Brenner returned to New Denver yesterday. He will put a force of\n12 men to work on the California at\nonce, and will probably .Increase the\nforces at both mines in the near future.\nWARNING TO MOTHERS\nToo much care cunnot be used with small\nchildren during the hot weather of the\nBurner monthB to guard against bowel\ntroubles.

As the Inception of tho project took\nplace In Fort Steele, the route, naturally\nenough, is described In two sections In the\ncharter:\nFirst\u2014From Fort Steele to Elko or some\nother convenient point on the Crow's Nest\nrailway between Elko and Wardncr; thence\non either the east or west side of Wigwam\nriver, or by the most convenient route to\nthe international boundary line.\nSecond\u2014From Fort Steele to Windermere\nby either tho east or west side of the Kootenay river; thence to the town of Golden\non tho main lino or the Canadian Pacific\nrailway.\nAs for present convenience work has been\nstarted at the northern end of the line,\nIt may be well to begin our description\nof tho valley from that point also.\nGolden Is prettily situated at the confluence of tho Kicking Horso with the\nColumbia\u2014the latter'being navigable to Its\nsource In the Windermere or Columbia\nlakes\u2014and having many long settled\nranches at various points ln Its course.\nGolden Is at present nn Important business\ncentre, but Its Importance and its population will be largely increased on the completion of the K.C.R. The Windermere\ncountry is a specially favored region, alike\nas to climate, soil and scenery. Hero general ranching and fruit growing have\nbeen successfully carried out for many\nyears. Here also, notwithstanding many\ndisadvantages, mining has-been prosecuted\nwith profit and success. A success thnt\nthe future will necessarily greatly enhance. Here also nre tho celebrated Fairmont hot springs\u2014the site doubtless In the\nnot distant future of the favorite sanitarium of the eastern interior.\nAt Canal Flats, tho valley of the Kootenay ls entered, and here should be an\nexcellent site for a large sawmill, drawing Its supplies from the upper Kootenay\nand Its tributaries. The valley of the\nKootenny south Is well known, at least to\nIts present residents, as a country of great\nfuture possibilities, ns regards timber, agriculture, fruit growing and cattle grazing. The Intending settler need not expect to grow peaches or pineapples\u2014there\nIs but one \"banana belt,\" though, that being In tho speolnl keeping of the Cranbrook Hernld, Its existence may be regarded ub figurative only->but hy a judicious selection of location he may hope\nto \"Mve and thrive\" by the cultivation of\nmost of the hardier fruits, grains, vegetables and grasses. When irrigation can\nbe had it Is desirable, on the bottom lands\ncrops grow without; and even on the\nbenches grain and vegetables have been\ngrown without other aid than tho showers\nof Juno and July. This year R. C. Smith\nhas Just cut an excellent field of fall\nwheat and Col. Hendeson Is this week\ncutting an exceptionally good crop of\nbeardless barley.\nWhere the K.C.R. will cross Bull river\na most Important enterprise has been inaugurated by shrewd American capitalists,\nwhose plans Include the generation of\n\u25a0light and power for Eupply to adjacent\nmines and towns, the extraction of gold\nfrom the bed of the river and the building\nof a busy manufacturing town, But this\nwork deserves a fuller description than\ncan be given now. The Iron deposlta being uncovered at this point must prove\na very important factor in contributing\nto the growth of the town and the business of the new railway.\nThe survey for the K.C.R, strikes the\nCrow's Nest Bomewhat east of Jaffray.\nShould Elko be found to be the particular\npoint of Junction, here will be found an\nexceptionally desirable spot for the growth\nof another great manufacturing town.\nWith Its wonderful natural falls and railway connection east and west, north and\nsouth, what better slto for a great commercial and manufacturing centre could\nbe desired,\nI shall close this despatch by a brief\nbut apt quotation from a letter by a gentleman who \"biked\" the valley from the\nboundary to Golden and back:\n\"Nowhere In Canada can be found a moro\nplctureseipe valley, and It ls doubtful If\nthere is any that holds out better Inducements to the homeseeker who wishes to\nmake his living at agricultural pursuits.\nThe valley is one Immense park, on the\naverage about eight or ten miles wide\nbetween the picturesque and magnificent\nSelklrks and the towering snow capped\nRockieB. The'valley is not a monotonous\nplain, however. Besides the Columbia and\nKootenay rivers which drain the valley\nthere are innumerable smaller rivers and\nstreams winding in and out through tho\n\u25a0foot hills from their sources In placid,\nmirror lake.1*, or glacier > electricity; drat elaas\nbeard.
