As regards the preparation of\nsubjects the government are sensible\nthat such a commlsbion would greatly\nfacilitate the work of the conference\nand at the same time enhance the dignity and Importance of that assembly.\nThey cannot, however, wholly divest\nthemselves of tbe idea that such a commission might conceivably interfere with\nthe working of responsible government.\nThese matters will be held in abeyance until the meeting in 1907.\nPremier MeBride aud finance minister\nTatlow of British Columbia had an Interview tills afternoon with sir Wilfrid\nLaurier, deputy minister Gourdreau and\nclerk Venning in regard to the fisheries.\nThey afterwards left for Montreal and\nwill proceed home by way of Toronto.\nPHOENIX MAIL SERVICE\nXew Arrangement Not at All Satisfactory\n\u2014Last Slute Worse Than First\n(Special to The Dally News)\nPhoenix, Dec. 5\u2014Much Indignation is\nfelt among business men over the recent\naction of the postofflce ilepiu-tnit-nt in asking for bids Un- carrying mails to ami\nfrom tlie B., V. & E. station here, und\nat the same time, when asked, slating that\nthe plan ls not lo give Phoenix any mail\nservice whatever over the C.l'.H., when\nthe new service is 'ml on.\nWhen lhe department, two or three\nwelts ago, finally announced that tho service asked for would be given, no one\nthought for a minute thai lhe service on\nthe C.P.R. would-be discontinued, ami\nconRequenllv residents of tho city are much\nworked up over tho matter, and the Ottawa\nOfficials are likely to hear from Ihem hy\nwire shortly.

His\nmajesty appeared to be in good spirits,\nTills is a great holiday here and all\nthe factories and mills are closed. The\nworkmen took advantage of the holiday\nto hold numerous meetings, the principal of which was held in a large hall\nknown as the Salute, and which was attended by over a thousand persons.\nFather Gapon was In the audience, but\nhe was not recognized. When his name\nwas mentioned by the speakers it was\nreceived with great cheers, Among\nthose at tlie meeting were several social democrats who urged upon the\nworkmen lhat their economic salvation\ndepended upon the realization of the\npolitical program outlined by the socialists. Tiie workmen refused to listen to\ntiiese appeals, which wore received with\nshouts of \"enough, enough.\"\nThe strike of tlie post and telegraph\nemployees appears to ow no nearer a solution. The streets are still occupied\nby troops. Tlie striking telegraph op-\norators attempted to hold a meeting today in the building of the Imperial\nEconomic Society. The president of tlie\nsociety was informed that ihe meeting\ncould not be held without Llie authority\nof the prefect of police, and he drove\nto the prefect to obtain lhe desired\npermission. Meanwhile thc Cossacks\nentered and demanded that the meeting\ndisperse. Tlie strikers refused to obey\ntho demand, whereupon a commissary\nof police ordered the Cossacks ami the\npolice to disperse the meeting, which\nthey did, beating all who remained with\nthe flats of their swords and with their\nwhips. This affair apparently has\nstrengthened the determination of the\nstrikers to stand firm until their demands are granted.\nThe Novoe Vremya ascribes the strike\nof the telegraph operators chiefly to the\nabsence of provisional regulations for\nthe application of the emperor's manifesto pending the meeting of the state\ndouma.\nA guard for the American embassy,\nconsisting of marines, under a prominent army officer, iTom^Bie United\nStates cruiser MluncapolisBylved here\ntoday. ^w\nAlthough there appears to ue no foundation for the prevailing fears that au\noutbreak is mminent, tlie population\ncontinues in a state of anxious suspense, The garrison lias now beeu reinforced by forty-two balallions of infantry, fifteen squadrons of cavalry and\ntwelve machine gun batteries.\nThe government, it is reported, narrowly frustrated a plot whereby a\nthousand armed men hud arranged to\nraid the state treasury. One of tho conspirators betrayed his fellows, it is\nsaid, whereupon the leaders-, knowing\nthat their attack would he repulsed by\nthe troops with great slaughter, abandoned it.\nTlie extension of the strike of telegraphers to the postal system is complete and the paralysis of business is\nincreasing the danger of a financial\ncrisis.\nThe strike of tlie Moscow telephone\noperators who cut their wires and tore\ndown tho poles, has severed the last\nmeans of communication with the ancient capital. The present conditions\nare unbearable. Sympathy for tlie poorly paid post and telegraph employees\nis now turning into indignation against\nthe strikers and the public is supporting a formidable movement which has\nbeen started by all classes to throw off\nlhe yoke of the revolutionaries. \"The\nlaw and order party\" took tlie lead,\nwhich is now being followed by the\n\"society of strike breakers.\" But the\nmost important movement lias heen\nstarted under the leadership of father\nGapon, the former idol of the workmen,\nwho since his residence abroad lias been\nconvinced that Russia is not prepared\nfor a republic and is appealing to his\nold comrades to cut loose from the\nrevolutionary agitators. The latter already charge that father Gapon has\nbeen bought and that he is a traitor to\nthe cause of the people. Father Gapon\nhowever, is sincere, and his influence\nIs undoubtedly as great as ever.\nThe Socialist Workmen's organization\nhas definitely resolved to remain a\nspectator of tho present .struggle unless the unexpected should happen. One\nof tho leaders explained today that the\norganization was husbanding all its resources and Strength for the final struggle, which ho expected would take\nplace about the first of tlie year and\nthat lu the meantime it was spending\nail Its energies to spread its propaganda among Its enemies throughout the\nempire. \"We have already proved too\nstrong for the government to defeat us,\"\nsaid this man, \"but we know we are not\nyet strong enough to defeat the government; when the time comes, well, the\nstrike will succeed.\"\nThe mutiny at Voronezh, which is un\nderstood to have been suppressed after\nconsiderable bloodshed, lias been followed by a much more serious outbreak\nat Kleff.\nStockholm, Dec. 6,\u2014The Aftenbiad\nsays that two war vessels will be despatched to St. Petersburg to protect the\nSwedisli people there and to bring home\nthose who wish to return.\nBucharest, Roumania, Dec. 5.\u2014Many\nwealthy refugee families from Odessa\nand Kishineff have reached Jassy.

To make the\nsituation especially unique, the Russian officers had applied to the Japanese authorities for a force to quell the\nuprising and one hundred Japanese policemen were assigned to the two ships\nas guards, while four torpedo boats\nfrom tlie Sazo naval yard took effective positions near the transports ready\nfor any emergency. The trouble was\nlargely sympathetic, the Russian soldiers although fresh from confinement\nof Japanese prisons, having learned of\nthe revolutionary uprising al home and\nbeing determined to participate, Political grievances were accentuated by\nthc fact, that inadequate preparations\nhad been made for the released soldiers.\nall being In rags and tatters, suffering\nmuch from oold and receiving such\nscant rations that starvation seemed\nprobable.\nThe day before .-.io Empress called.\nwhat had been served for six days' rations was eaten In a single meal iby tlie\nfamished men who swarmed the transports like bees in a uowo-mr ntve, When\nthe Empress sailed the trouble was under control but still regarded as so serious that a Russian warship had beeu\nsummoned from Shanghai and two\nothers were coming to convoy the ships\nhearing the hoiueboiind Russian troops,\nThe movements of all such have however, been suspended pending the restoration of order and authority at Vladivostok.\nThe official investigation of the Lien-\nchan massacres shows that it was not,\nas stated, provoked by tlie missionaries\ninterfering with a Chinese procession\nor \"so-called\" theft of a cannon., The\nevidence of Dr. Maehle and others shows\nthat the murders wero but part of a\ngeneral program of antagnolsm to all\nAmericans nnd against the Chinese government for protecting them, Tho\nbutchery wns directly connected with\nthe American boycott, Ihe originator of\nwhich, although dead, has just been\nfeted all over southern China.

Buford, who brought\nsuit to have just and lawful distribution of the society's surplus, were sustained in the supreme court today.\nBuford claims that in 1904 tbe society\ndistributed lu dividends among the\npolcy holders the sum of $8,001,908, of\nwhich he received $13. He asserts that\nthe sum whicli should have been distributed was $86,976,116, of which his proportion would have been $188. Justice\nScott in sustaining the demurrera gave\nleave to Buford to amend his complaint\nwithin twenty days.\nJustice Scott, in his decision Bald;\n\"Tho principal question suggested by\nthis complaint is whether or not the\npolicy holders of the defendant, society\nare entitled, as a matter of strict legal\nright, to the proportionate distribution\nof the entire surplus of tbo society over\nand above the legal reserve acquired hy\nlaw. A policy holder and the company\nby which he is insured bear to each\nother only tbe relation of two contracting parties, and the policy constitutes\nthe contract between them.\n\"The plaintiff's policy entitled hlni to\nparticipation In profits but makes' no\nagreement in terms as to the extent\nof such participation, or even that It\nshall be ratably with the participation\nof any other policy holder or class of\npolicy holders.\n\"The plaintiff, however, insists that\nthe charter of the defendant society\nmust be read Into the contract and\ntnat, if -.o read, it will sustain his contention. Assuming, without deciding,\nthat tho charter may be so read into\ntho contract, it fulls short of sustaining\nthe plaintiff's position. There is nothing in tho statutes which says that no\nmore surplus shall be retained than\nwhat is denominated the legal reserve.\nThere is nothing in the charter which\nwould justify a belief that, when Its\nfminers provided for setting aside a\nportion of the surplus to meet existent\nand prospective claims, they had in\nmind what is known as the statutory\nlegal reserve or that they Intended to\nlimit tbe officers to setting apart that\namount and no more.\"\nWashington.

Mr. Buchanan did not hesitate to say lhat any influence ho may\nhave In deciding the question at issue\nwill he in favor of an increase in the\nduty on zinc.\nTlie facts in relation to the zinc industry as affected by tariff, are these:\nTho duty on zinc Imported Into the\nUnited Slates from Canada, is practically prohibitive, thus excluding Canadian made zinc, from that market, whilo\nthe Canadian duty on zinc coming from\nlho states is only nominal aa compared\nwith the American duty. The result is\nthat the 1700 odd tons of spelter an-*\ntnually manufactured in Oajnada, all\ncomes from the states, and because of\nthe low duty, which is only about 5 per\ncent, ad valorem, would continue to\ncome from that couintry even after\nzinc began to be produced 'here, if there\nwere no change in tlio tariff, for the\nreason that it would bo cheaper to buy\nthe spelter in the states antl pay the\nduty, owing to the difference in the\nfreight rate which would be in favor\nof the American article.\nWhat th\u00a9 advocates of an increase\nin tho duty desire, is an increase to\nabout 25 per cent, ad valorem, which\nwould be sufficient to secure to lhe\nwestern zinc industry of Canada the\neastern Canadian market for speller.\nTho eastern manufacturers, wlio like all\nother like institutions, fall in their patriotism when their pockets are affected,\nwiil doubtless oppose thc movement,\nbut tho present government has shown\nan inclination to foster home industry\nin like matters and there seems uo good\nreason to believe that anything but justice will be done in this cose.\nIn minister of tho interior Frank\nOliver, the movement is expected to find\na valuable friend. Mr, Oliver when\nhere during tho recent campaign, went\nInto the subject at some length with\none of the most prominent zinc men in\nCanada, who chanced to he here. He\nalso saw what tho Canadian Metal company is doing and became greatly impressed with tho merits of the proposal. As Mr. Oliver's attitude toward\nWHOLESALE H0U8E3\nPRODUCTS\n9-TABKB.Tl &.

P, Downey.\nin conversation with a member of the\nDully News staff last evening Mr. Botterell said: \"The expansion Of Industry In\nBritish Columbia ut present as far at least\nus il affects our business, is us great as ln\nany part of Canada and thut is saying a\ngreat deal.\n\"We have now four main offices in Canada, at Montreal. Toronto, Winnipeg, and\nVancouver. To meet the growing demand\nof tho country we have Just completed\nthe building of a new factory al Vancou-.\nVOl' at a cost of $250,000.\n\"In this province especially the growth\nduring the lust year hns been remarkable.\nIt is no exaggeration to say that the orders for machinery for mines and mills\nof various kinds have equalled those ol\nthe three yenrs before. Among our largest orders lately have been, a large turbine pump for the Granby company, extensive machinery for the HUlcrest Coal\ncompany and a complete equipment for a\nworkshop for the Daly Reduction company\nat Hedley. Those are nil large concerns.\nSmaller companies are ordering in proportion, and the business Is expanding very\nrapidly. Every purchaser wants the most\nellieieiit and modern machinery.\n\"I think tlie outlook for next year should\nbe very bright, as il is evident that many\ncompanies throughout the province, and\nespecially in lhe interior, have been making provision for mining operations on an\nextensive scale. As far as I am in a position to know, the properties on which\nwork will be done have already been\nproved, and development has been delayed\nonly on account of luck of capital, whioh\nseems now to ho available.\nFOR THE HOLIDAYS\nC. P. It. Cheap Excursion Rates to Eastern Canada\nThe Canadian Pacillc railway announce a\nlow round trip excursion rate, ilrst class,\nfrom Kootenay to Montreal and all eastern Canadian points, except points north of\nGravenhurst and west of Penil.roolt.

Tho club has won every year\nand still holds the championship of Kootenay, It has always been u strictly amateur 'body, the members generally bearing\na considerable portion of their own expenses.\nWith a heavy rental for the rink and\nconsiderable repairing to be paid for, as\nwell as expense for maintenance und band\nhire, the club's prospects of profiting by\nthe Investment are noi very bright, front\nhowever. Is not thc aim. If Nelsons athletic prestige can be maintained, good\nsport provided for tho citizens in matches\nwith visiting teams, and a commodious\nskating rink provided for men, wmui-u anil\nchildren, the achievement Is worth some\nfinancial risk. The first enterprise will be a\ntrip to Spokane, for which the players will\nreceive a pari of their expenses from the\nhome team. Later there will be home and\nhome matches with Rossland, Fernie and\nCranbrook and other clubs.\nMembership tickets in the club and season tickets for the rink are being ottered.\nNELSON CHORAL SOCIETY\nGood progress hns been made with tho\npractices of Haydn's Creation which oratorio is lo be produced bv the Nelson choral society as early as possible after Christmas, The vocalists are now well grounded\nIn the various part numbers and the solo\nwork Is well in hand.
