Ckaniihook, April 11.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd[Special to tho Tribune.]\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Business in Cranbrook is maintaining its usual activity, though some oC the good citizens think it is quite dull for tho simple reason that there has been nothing sensational in a commercial way or otherwise for a week or two. As an illustration of tlio business conditions it is a fact that one of the principal mercantile establishments' receipts for last month was more than $1000 greater I ban at any previous time in its history- and it is one of the oldest establishments in Southeastern Kootenay. Others are doing as well apparently, and It'Cranbrook is happy even if it is \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd' \"dull times.\" No trace has yet been discovered of W. AV. Barker, the missing engineer, who installed the North Star tramway. Ifc was leported yesterday that traces of a newly made excavation had been discovered, and that a large number of crows were hovering arouud it, so it was deemed possible that the missing man might be interred there. As the location was at a point not far from the North Star mine and the search party has not been heard from at this writing, the leliability of the rumor has not been established. There has been considerable trouble on tho North Star branch road duriug the past week, owing to the settling of tho track, and a train went oft' the track a few days ago and was not able to return until the second night following. Nobody was seriously hurt. _ The A. F. & A. M. were out in force last Saturday evening, the occasion being the institution of Cranbrook Lodge of Free Masons, \\J.

Ottawa, April IL\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd[Special to The Tribune].\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Lieutenant-governor Mclnnes of British Columbia has at last taken the only course open to him, and that is to dissolve the legislature. There were but two things that he could do, either to call tho legislature together or bring about a dissolution at once. To call a hostile legislature in his case would be useless, and he has dissolved parliament. If premier Martin succeeds the governor is safe, but if not he will have to go. He took his life iu his hands wheu he called on Martin to form a government. The writs have beeu issued aud the election will take placo on June 9th. The reason that it does not come off sooner is that the voters' lists will not be ready until the 1st of May.

Thefts of Beer Stamps. - Nkw York, April 11.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdAVithin tho past few weeks two mysterious robberies of beer stamps, by which the government' has lost $16,000, havc occurred. One of these thefts occurred while the stamps were in transit between the treasury department and the general post office at* AVashington. , The other was between the postofiice and the internal revenue office in Chicago. The stamps stolen in AVashington were worth $10,000 and 'those in Chicago $0000. Revenue agent Thompson learned that the stamp thioves had made arrangements for the sale of a large quantity of stamps to a brewer's agent at Astor House. Late today Thomas Blaney, a saloon bartender, was seen to enter the hotel with a big brown paper parcel under his arm. He seemingly failed to meet the purchaser and ,was afterwards arrested by agent Thompson.

The members left by special train this afternoon, accompanied by a motley following of Frenchmen and Germans, 100 in all. The departure , only occurred after many stormy interviews with the Portuguese authorities. The members have no passports and no credentials beyond a letter from Miss Clara Barton, to the effect that she knows some of them personally and believes them to be genuine, but many have openly expressed their intentions of fighting. The Boers are paying from \ufffd\ufffd30 to \ufffd\ufffd10 sterling per month for such recruits. Thirty-five thousand Boers, with ninety guns, are concentrated on the range of hills between Kroonstadt and Wynberg. The whole line is fortified and is almost impregnable.

OUTPUT OF COAL DOUBLED CLARK IS TURNED DOWN ROBERTS STILL INACTIVE Commanders Changed. London, April 12.-4:15 a.m.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd There is little fresh intelligence from the seat of war in South Africa. It looks as though lord Roberts may be preparing to send a strong foice to clear the Boers from behind him. A Capetown dispatch says ho will not move for another week, owing to the necessity of gathering stores and supplies. Sir AVilliam Gatacro's sudden removal is the theme of much speculation. Tho curt manner in which it i.s announced, causes much comment. The general impression is that it is connected with the Reddersburg affair, although there are many who consider that there must be something much more serious. The war office has received no news of the death of colonel Baden- Powell, and utterly discredits the rumor. The operations in Natal have not yet been fully explained. There appears to have been an attempt to outflank the British at Elandslaagte and to sever them from their base at Ladysmith. The duke of Marlborough has arrived at Bloemfontein.

Washington, April 11.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe senate committee on privileges and elections today decided by a unanimous vote to recommend the adoption of a resolution declaring that Hon. W. A. Clark of Montana, is not entitled to occupy his seat as senator from that state. The decision was reached after a two hours' sitting, at which all of the members of the committee were present, except one. The absentee was senator Caffery, and he wired his vote in opposition to Clark. The ballot was not taken until all the members present had expressed themselves upon the question, some of them speaking at some length aud all expressing different shades of opinion. Senator Harris indicated a most pronounced leaning toward leniency for Clark. He did not express, any doubt that there had been a lavish expenditure of money in Clark's behalf, and while not condoning this course, he spoke in terms of strong condemnation of the tactics pursued by some of Clark's opponents, referring especially to congressman Campbell and ex-senator Whiteside. He said that whatever Clark's offenses were, they were but little worse than the methods pursued by Campbell aud AVhiteside, aud their efforts to expose tho senator, and he insisted that if the report was to be antagonistic to Clark it should at the same time relate in full detail the course pursued by the two principal witnesses against him. > Senator Pettus practically agreed with senator Harris. - There were many expressions in the committee favorable to senator Clark from a personal point of view and.m^ve than one senator gave \"*''' \"- .Jeer,, t-e doubts-to -whether he hau actual personal part in the knowledge of the expenditure. Others expressed the opinion that the senator was in a certain sense the victim of environment and of , habit. - Tho outlay of money in past elections in Montana was dwelt on as one of the explanations of the liberal expenditure in this case. Senator Turley dissented fromv the view that Clark could have been informed of the fact that money was used to promote,the election and he made one of the vigorous talks in favor of an adverse report. The fact that Clark and his representatives had failed to make their reports to the state authorities of Montana as required by the state Saw was also urged against him in the discussion of the committee, as was the fact that he and his representatives had destroyed all of their vouchers showing where the jnoney had been used and to whom paid. When attention was called to the fact that this course was usual with campaign managers, the statement was met with the contention that, while this plan might bo more commonly adopted than it should be, still there could be no reasonable excuse for it after the AVhiteside exposure.' it was then known there would be a contest, and the argument was made that every scrap ot\" paper bearing upon the election should have been preserved after this development in tlio case. Senator Clark was at the capitol when the announcement of tho ac- tion of the committee was made known. Ho was surprised at tho result, but refused to make a statement until after consultation with his friends and attorneys. The senator bore himself with his usual composure. His face appeared somewhat flushed, but his voice was calm and his manner collected, and he discussed other business affairs as if nothing had transpired. Hklbna, Montana, April II. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Senator Clark's son, Charles AV. Clark, said tonight: \"There is absolutely no truth in the rumor that my father will resign, and I do not know the origin of it.\" Charles Clark received a telegram from the senator today, saying: \"Committee report will be adverse, but do not worry about that. I will bo vindicated here and in Montana.\" This is taken to mean that semi tor Clark will cuter the fight again and seek to be returned to the senate. Mines at Fernie. Frank Gibbs, local manager of the Brackman & Ker Milling Compauy, returned yesterday from a short business trip to Fernie, where he says everybody anticipates a busy aud successful summer. He says that owing to the temporary close down of the AVest Kootenay smelters, most of the Crow's Nest Coal Company's coKe contracts in the district wore cancelled, aud that now their coke goes almost entirely to the Montana smelters. The new manager, Mr. AVilson from Philadelphia, is having a new tunnel driven and another trestle built. The result of these improvements will be to double the present output of the coal. It is also the intention of the management to immediately start building' 120 more coke ovens. CITY LOCAL NEWS.

That German Spy. PakI's, April 11.- It now appears that Leon Gaffot, who was arrested on Sunday according to the Le Petit PaiNien, charged with having relations with Germany, wib a clerk in a big establishment and was arrested on the charge of offering to communicate the German war office a number of very important military documents, lie was dis- coveied thiough tho return, on account of insufficient postage, of a letter he had sent. Its contents were thus ascertained and the letter forwarded to the minister of interior, where a trap Avas laid into which Gaget fell. A search of his apartments revealed a statement of the amount of money he had received f i om Germany totalling 25 inaiks. The prisoner claims he intended simply to make money out of the German government by communicating bogus documents. Sensible French View. Pa 11 is, April JI.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdThe question of the transport of British troops across Portugue=e toriitory to Rhodesia with tho permission of Portugal, Mas brought up in the chamber of deputies today by two interpellations. The minister of foi'oign affairs, M. Deleasse, in refusing to discuss the matter, said Franco had declared her neutrality at the opening of the Avar, but that she Avas not expected to guarantee the neutrality of other poAvers. France could not be expected to undertake alone such a guarantee while the other powers held back. There AA-as no reason 'to suppose that Fiench capital invested in Mozambique would be endangered, but if such an event occurred the government Avould not fail to furnish protection.
