He said the report had\nnever been adopted and that It did not\ncorrespond with the evidence taken before the committee on oath.\nThe premier replied there was no objection to the course' suggested except\nthat ot the expense for printing. The\nhonorable member (Oliver) could, if he\nmade the application, have the originals ln his possession for use. He suggested that the application was frivolous.\nMr. Oliver retorted that while he did\nnot want to put the country to the expense Of printing, but aa the premier had\non a previous occasion ottered to have\nIt printed, and now consented to the\nsame course, he would Insist on it being done.\nOn a division the motion was lost\nby the vote ot all the government sup-\n1 porters, aided by some of the opposition members,\nI The premier afterwards repeated his\nI statement of willingness to print the\nreport.\ni Mr. Jardlne called attention to the absence ot the attorney general yesterday,\nwhen his presence was necessary for\nIhe purpose of advising the house on a\ni point which arose on the. Factories act,\nand which had to be referred to the\nspeaker. 1 ,<\u25a0<\nThe premier answered that the attorney general was In the supreme court\non a very Important case which his professional duty needed his presence In.\nThe premier was ready to take the re-\naponslbllty for the absence. So far no\nloss had been occasioned 'by it and he\nwould be back on Monday.\nI Ur. Oliver said the house was entitled\nI to ask for the attendance of the attorney\ngeneral on any matter before It. The\npremier suggested ln reply that If Mr.\n\u25a0 Oliver would attend at the attorney gen-\n| eral's department, he would And his colleague would be very glad to give advice.\nMr. Hawthornthwaite agreed that no\nloss had been sustained by the absence\nof the attorney general. (Laughter.)\nReplying to Parker Williams, the finance minister said the vote last session,\not 115,000 for Immigration, had been expended as follows:\nGrant to Salvation Army toward construction of Welcome hotel, Vancouver,\nI2S00; grant to Salvation Army for expenses connected with immigration $500;\namount advanced as loan to Salvation\nArmy tb assist ln bringing domestic servants and farm laborers, 15000; payment\nfor writing bulletins, 2200.\nThe house went into committee and\nhaving disposed of the three bills having for their object the separation ot\nthe offices of land and works, proceeded\nwith the remaining clauses of the University bill.\nDuring the course of the discussion\nevidences ot educational rivalry were\nconstantly cropping up. Mr. Henderson,\nwho had a long string ot amendments\non the order paper, reiterated his previous objections to the constitution of\nthe senate. He said that Toronto university waa for a time a political football, because of a similar mistake made\ntn Its constitution, which was altered\naftep a great deal of loss and annoyance\nto the province. We were, he asserted,\nabout to fall Into the same mistake. It\nwas found necessary in Toronto to remove from the senate the mlnlsler of\neducation land Jhe pupenlntendent f>'\neducation, as the appolnttees of the lieutenant governor ln council, and under\nthe new scheme the senate and graduates had five appointees, tbe lieutenant\ngovernor in council had three and tbat\nwith the president made nine.\nMinister ot education Dr. Young said\nthat Mr. Henderson had not studied the\nbill. In Toronto the situation was a\nfederation ot universities, and not the\ncreating of a new one, as was the case\nin British Columbia. Here the hoard\nwould be entirely distinct trom the academic body, the duty ot the senate being entirely academic He had intended\nthat the academic Interest should have\nthe controlling vote ot the educational\nsystem; the senate had practically dual\ncontrol, In Toronto the academic Interest was practically In control ot everything, but thla was avoided In the present measure.\nOn a division ot the committee the\namendment was lost\nAfter this decision the discussion became technical in character, relating to\ndegrees and various university details\ndealt with In the 99 sections of the bill.\nA point was reached however, at Section 91, which excited aome sharp exchange* between the provincial secretary\nDr. Young, and aome ot the members.\nThe section provides that every Incorporated theological college hereafter affiliated with the university may, not-\ntszEStaer\nwithstanding such affiliation, * have\npower to''confer the degree's of bachelor\not divinity and doctor of divinity, provided that such candidates tor such degrees must be graduates in arts of the\nuniversity of British Columbia or of\nsome other university recognised by the\nuniversity for that purpose. To this Mr.\nHenderson, Mr, Monroe and the leader\nof -the opposition objected, as raising\na barrier between this university and\nthe colleges.\nMr. Young'said these objections re-\n\u2022flected no credit to the objectors to this\nbill; Columbia college always came into\nopposition to any educational scheme Introduced Into the'house.\nThe leader of the oposltlon said his\nhonorable friend's criticism was not\nquite fair. The section objected to was\nnot to be found In any other university\nact and would perhaps be a bar to affiliation with the university. Columbia\ncollege was now affiliated with Toronto\nand doubtless would be anxious to join\nthis university. It was not, he urged, In\npublic interest to put barriers in the\nway like this clause.\nThe clause was allowed to stand over\nand after almost completing the bill,\nwhich took the remainder of the sitting,\nthe committee reported progress.\nThe work ot the session in passing\nbills ts well advanced. There Is, ot\ncourse, the Irrigation bill to come down\nbut this ts the only measure of importance expected. Next week will probably see budget brought down.\nAT MARBLE BAY MINES\nTROUBLE IS LOOKED FOR OVER\nCLOSE DOWN\nAUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND\nMINERS SENT IN\n(Special to The Daily News.)\nVancouver, Feb. 14.\u2014Possible trouble\nmay result at the Marble bay mines by\nreason of the sending ot a lot of Australian and New Zealand miners to that\ndistrict today.\nThe old men were laid off and the\nmines closed down some weeks ago because of a payday being passed, through\ndelay tn the malls containing the\nchecks. -*\nFormer employees, who are members\nof the Western Federation, are still on\nthe Island and will meet the new men,\nwhy have no union affiliations.\nAL0NGTUNNEL\nTo Be Driven from Greenwood to Phoenix\nTHREE MILES IN LENGTH\nWILL TAP VEINS OF MANY GOOD\nPROPERTIES AT DEPTH-CITY\nCOUNCIL AT GREENWOOD SUPPORT SCHEME -t PROJECTORS\nRETURN.

'\u2022\n(Special to The Dal'y News)\n.phoenix, Feb. 14\u2014The news from Greenwood that efforts are being made towards\ncarrying out a project that has long been\nmooted In the Boundary, namely, the driving of a long deep tunnel to tap, the mines\nof Phoenix,\" has created no little Interest\nhere.\nLast week Edward Ford Johnson of Chicago and Dr. S. Peacock, a mining engineer of the same place, were in the Boundary, accompanied by Richard Armstrong,\nformerly a resident of Giand Forks, but\nnow of Chicago. Mr. Johnson is the secretary of the Crescent Mines, Limited,\nowning the crescent mine in Skylark camp,\nabout two and a half miles from Phoenix. The gentlemen examined the Crescent, which has lately been supplied with\na modern elect-le machinery equ pment\nthroughout and is now stoplng Oi'e'wlth a\nview of beginning steady -shipments und\nwere much pleased with the appearance\nof the property. Col. T. L. Dlckuson of\nChicago, lg the president of the Crescent\ncompuny and the largest shareholder, having worked the mine since It was acquired\ntwo or three years ago from H. H. Sliall-\nenberger of Spokane, it being In the high\ngrade belt, and having already been in the\nshipping list.\nBut the Chicago men were also ln the\nBoundary to Investigate the feasibility of\nthe running of a deep tunnel front some\npoint ln the Greenwood valley towards\nPhoenix. They Interviewed the Greenwood\nboard of trade and the Greenwood city\ncouncil and with n good deal of encouragement. The -latter \u2022. wganlcatlen - considered\nfavorably the bonusing of tho project to\nthe extent of $50,000 to be payable la debentures to be issued by the city as follows: Five thousand dollars on completion\nof the first 2000 feet of tunnel; $10,000 nt\ntbe end of 4000 feet, and $15,000 when 0000\nfeet have been completed, which will drive\nthe tunnel past the Crescent mine or one-\nthird of tbe distance to Phoenix.\nWith this encouragement, It la understood that the Chicago people are satisfied, and are prepared to finance the proposition. The intention Is to organize a\ntunnel company, the estimated cost of the\ntunnel when It reaches ns far as Phoenix\nbeing around $3,000,000. This would be at\na depth of some 2000 feet, the tunnel being over three miles long, according to the\nestimates. The gentlemen have, moBt of\nthem returned to Chicago to report, and\nIt Is understood that they will return In\na month of two, when something definite\nIs likely to tr.inspirc and a beginning of\nthe work made.\nResidents' or mining men of Phoenix\nhave not yel been approached on the\nsubject; as far as heard from, but few\nthink that the tunnel Is likely to reach\nthis place for many years. Nevertheless\nthey are pleased to see the work undertaken, for, If !t Is driven but G000 feet, it\nwill tap many high grade leads In Skylark camp and be of great assistance to\nmine owners In that htctlon. In the past\nthe high grade mines surrounding G.een-\nwood have sent out ore valued at something\nover a million dollars, and this under\ntho greatest difficulty, as it had to be hauled several miles to the railway for shipment to th? smelter.\nNotwithstanding the fact that It Is not\nknown yet what the attitude of the big\ncopper producers of Phoenix would be to\na proposition of this kind, If the tunnel Is\ndriven but one mile of the three, It will\nbe of Inestimable benefit to the mining\nIndustry, not say of great benefit directly\nto the c'ty of Greenwood itself.\nFor the past ten years those have not\nbeen waning who predicted that, eventually, the ores from the Phoenix hill would\nsome day be taken out of a long and deep\ntunnel. At one time such a tunnel was\nproposed to be driven from the valley near\nGrand Forks, n distance of some five or\nsix miles, more or less. But It wus not\nconsidered seriously at that time and was\ndropped. A few years ago wide publicly\nwas given to a plan of the Granby company\nto run a tunnel a mile or two long from\nDendman's gulch, almost due north of this\ncity, which would reach the Granby mines\nat a depth of some 1500 feet. Nothing official wus given out about tho matter,\nhowever, and nothing came of it. Again a\nyear or two ago, there was talk of the\nsame company running a tuancl from\nFourth of July cieek, to reach Ita ore\nbodies at great depth.\nThese plans, however, have evidently all\nbeen shelved, as In the last year or two,\nhundreds of thousands of dollars have\nbeen spent by the Granby company in\nequipment and appliances to take its oro\nout right here in Phoenix, the two railways having also spent a large amount In\nIncreased trackage fucllltes for tho Granby mines.\nA long tunnel from Greenwood has often\nbeea~dlscusscd In the past, and sermed to\nbe feasible If the co-operation of the big\nmining companies and railway companies\ncould be seemed to this end. Whether\nth'i has now been secured, does not appear,\nbut there seems to be much likelihood of a\ntunnel project that will be extremely useful to the high grade, ore p oducers, being\ncarried out on a smaller scale.\n\u00bbMMMII\u00bbWMMMIIMM\u00bb\nVIEWS OF JAP CONSUL\nSATISFIED'NATAL ACT WILL BE\nDISALLOWED\nLOCAL AUTHORITIES ADVISED NOT\nTO COLLECT FEES\nVancouver, Feb. 14.\u2014C.

Macdonald (Toronto) general\nmanager of the Confederation Life insurance company, continued his criticism of the government lire insurance\nbill before the commons banking and\ncommerce committee this morning. Macdonald suggested that the limitations of\nInvestments Included ln the bill should\namended by abolishing the stipulations\nthat tho bonds to qualify for Insurance\nshould be In existence ofr five years,\nthat the period for which debentures\nand preferred stock must pay interest to\nqualify as an Insurance investment\nshould be changed from seven to three\nyears, that the period for which common stock must have been paying Interest to qualify as Investment be changed\nfrom ten to five years. Macdonald sug-\ngestbd the widening of the geographical\nfield for Investments. Section 60 of the\nbill was a provision to forbid companies\nemploying Insurance funds to underwrite\nthe purchase or sale of securities or\nproperty of any kind, and he thought\nthis should be amended bo as not to\nprevent different Insurance companies\njoining hands to take up an Issue of city\nbonds or debentures,\nHon. .Mr. Fielding agreed to this suggestion.\nSection 82 of tbe goernment bill provides for the repeal of all insurance acts\nand all provisions In existing charters\nwhich are Inconsistent with tbe provisions of tbe new law. This would give\nall insurance companies absolutely uniform powers of investment, but Macdonald said that the bill as It stood might\nwipe all insurance charters out of existence.\nSection 86 prohibited the Issue of estimated dividends or any surplus on Individual policies. The companies asked\nthat this bellmlted to Canadian companies and that its enforcement be postponed until 1909.\nM.

If they would notice little vices\nthat the child is acquiring and check\nthem before they result In something\nserious, a great deal of crime among\nyoung children would be stopped. In\nmany cases the children grow up and\nthe parents are the last ones to know of\nthe company and the habits of their\nchildren; and, when things that are\nwrong are reported to tbem, they do not\nbelieve them and pass them over lightly.\nWere they to Investigate these matters\nthat are brought to their attention, It\nwould save a lot of trouble.

Later on the children get to smoking cigarettes and reading trashy novels.\nThe parents do not discover these things\nuntil it Is brought to them forcibly, and\nthey then threaten the children and try\nto put a stop to it, but they do not. The\nchild has alreadp acquired these habits\nto such an extent that only fear, of the\nparents might check It. If he continues\nthe company that he acquires these habits from he will commence sneaking and\nlying, and there will be but one result.\nHe must have money to satisfy these\nhabits, and to keep up his end of the\nfast company\u2014the finish is ln prison.\nThe amount of crime committed by\nyoung people is alarming, not only among\nboys, but among girls ranging from 11\nto 15 years of age. Our Investigations\nhave convinced us that there would be\na great many less criminals If parents\nwould study the habits and company of\ntheir children and try to have more\namusements for them, instead of the\nchildren running the streetB In search\nof pleasure.\nThe conditions of life and the general\nevil surroundings to be found ln a city\nof the size of Seattle are all wanting\nhere, and there Is therefore less excuse\nfor the existence of petty stealing and\nminor crimes of a like nature. The police\nauthorities and the churches should\ncombine with parents in making the local juvenile depravity referred to dls.\ntinctly unfashionable In Nelson.\nEDITORIAL NOTES\nThe Natal act will be promptly disallowed when it reaches Ottawa, as ot\ncourse premier McBride and attorney\ngeneral Bowser very well knew when\nthey Insisted on the passing of the act\nwith Subsection P to Section 3 struck\nout. This section read: \"This act shall\nnot apply to any person, the terms of\nwhose entry into Canada have been\nfixed, or whose exclusion from Canada\nhas been ordered by any arc of the parliament of Canada.\" Had this provision\nbeen left ln the Natal act there Is every\nreason to believe that It would have\nbeen acceptable to the dominion au\nthorities and would have been allowed\nto become law. As the act now reads\nIt is clearly In conflict with the British\nNorth America act, and will be disallowed as a matter of course, as Mr. McBride has known all along. Presumably,\nnow another trip to the foot of the\nthrone and more fireworks will be in\norder.\nAUSTRALIAN TRADE\nOttawa, Feb. 14\u2014J. S.

The new\ntariff averages about 5 per cent higher\nthan the old one but on no one line is It\nprohibitory. If Canada can secure the\nadvantage of the preference granted Oreat\nBritain, Mr. Larke believes the dominion's\nposition will be materially improved over\nthat which It now occupies under the old\ntariff on many lines of, goods which Aim-\ntralla must continue Importing, but Larke\nadds that the greatest Impediment to Canadian trade Is the inability of Canadian\nmanufacturers to fill orders.\nTO BUY B.

BIO CITY\nNew York, Feb. 14.\u2014There are writer-\nfolk who wax mildly pathetic in discoursing about the bread line, seek to\nextract facetious humor from the city\nhall \"lovers' line\" and point with puffed-\nup pride to the line of gay lights that\nmark the Great White Way. But there\nIs another \"line\" ln New York, more\nghastly, but none the less important\u2014\nthe death line. \\\nThe average New Yorker thinks little\nof death. He Is too busy. The \"innumerable caravan\" gains many recruits\nthereby. Conditions menacing to life\nand limb\u2014conditions that would not be\ntolerated iu any other city in the world\n\u2014the Gothamlte dismisses with a weary\nshrug. What is one life, or a dozen,\namong so many millions, if he but escape unscathed?\nSudden death grins at every passerby\nand is greeted with derision as a familiar toe.\nThere are many ways to live in New\nYork. So ,too, there are many ways to\ndie.\n'IDanger\" looms terge of signs in\nfront of scores buildings iu course of\nerection. The hurrying crowds rush by,\nheedless of the warning.\nAn elevated train is blocked. The\npassengers \"brave the perils of the deadly third rail\"\u2014to quote the highly original reporters\u2014and now and then one is\nsacrificed to the passion for haste. What\nof it?\nA considerable proportion of the hose\nof the New York fire department is rotten and would be useless in case of a\ngreat conflagration. Many lives have\nbeen lost as a result of this fact, many\nmore may be lost. Who cares?\nNumerous ferry boats and other craft\non which thousands travel dally are inadequately provided with life preservers\nand have little protection against fires.\nShall New Yorkers become excited\nabout that?\nIn the opinion of men competent to\nexpress an opinion ou the subject, a\nrepetition In New York of the Boyers-\ntown disaster is not only possible but\nprobable, such are the conditions existing at many playhouses. Will New\nYorkers curtail their amusements because of that fact?\nThousands of signs swing Insecurely\nalong the streets. Occasionally one\ncrashes down upon the head of a pedestrian. Is that a Justifiable homicide?\nEverywhere there is danger. Life\nmeets death on every street corner. It\nis the travail of a world-metropolis in\nthe borning, with Death the midwife at\nthe accouchement\n'Some day, perhaps, New York will he\nfinished, and human life will assume a\nsanctity which it does not now possess.\nMeanwhile, the pale horse is a much\noverworked steed, and carries to the\nUnknown Beyond many a soul sacrificed\nto cupidity and negligence and haste.\nNew York's death line Is a ghastly\nreality, but it is perforce unobtrusive,\nso that it may not interfere with the\nsacred rights of business, the passionate\nquest of pleasure and the ancient privileges of graft.\nJUST A JOKE\nLaval Students Carry off Silverware\nFrom Ottawa Hotel.\nOttawa, Feb. 14.\u2014The Laval students\nfrom Montreal who visited Ottawa yesterday left, on the Grand Trunk railway\nspecial at 2:30 this morning, but the\ntrain was help up for 15 minutes by the\npolice and searched for silverware taken\nby tbe boys as souvenirs from the Russell house!
