He Took an Active Part in the War tween Japan and Japan and Met With Many Misfortunes. Be- New York, March 11.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdJames Howie, the Au_erieau who tried to blow up the Japanese fleet during the war with China, has committed suicide, according to advices received here today. Howie's adven- tureous career reads like a romance from tlie middle ages, and his exploits during the Chinese, war made him known Lire world over. At the breaking out of hostilities Howie offered his services to the Chinese and was quickly accepted. With a comrade named Brown he was sent as a spy to Japan. They visited a number oi\" camps, arsenals and navy yards, and secured a mass of valuable information, but fell under suspicion in Kobe and were at once arrested. They were shrewd enough, however, to have no incriminating, evidence upon them, and the Japanese were obliged to release them, first making them take an oath not to give aid to the Chinese. Disregarding his oath Howie escaped from Japan and made his way to China, where he conceived the daring plot that made him famous. It was his plan to set adrift a quantity of explosives that would be swept by the tide around the Japanese fleet, and then to fire them by a cannonade from a distance.. He loaded a fleet of a dozen junks near Chee Foo with high explosives, but before the work was finished a premature explosion wrecked his hulks and his hopes. Howie took an active part in the defense of 'Wei-Hair Wei, ami at its capture fell into the hands of the enemy. Ill health and misfortune affected his mind and a few months ago he started on a voyage to Shanghai, hope- ihg to restore his health; but brooding over his hard luck made him violently insane during the voyage and lie was heavily ironed. Breaking from his guards one day, he plunged overboard and was seen no more. ;-- EXPELLED FKOM CUBA. PUBLISHED AT NELSON, B. O. (WEWT KOOTENAY DISTRICT) TUESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 14, 1899.

Tried to Prevent a Parade. Havana, March 14.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdWhen the civil governor of Havana learned of the preparations lot an outpouring of the people in honor of general Gomez yesterday, he directed the police to prevent the parade.. They tried to do so. The chief of police withhis mounted inspectors and police- meu, by twos and threes, fittempted to turn back the various societies that were marching towards the residence of geueral Gomez. At first little attention was paid to these efforts. When a policeman seized a flag or made an individual ai'iest, the others in the line would simply march on, jeering and yelling, \"Down with\" the police,\" \"Long live Gomez,\" \"Death to . the assembly.\" A mounted inspector took an American flag away from a man who was parading, and was immediately surrounded by a menacing crowd. He clubbed one ot the demonstrators till the blood flowed, then dismayed by the savage yells of the wounded man's companions, he withdrew to another point. The chief of police was mocked by the crowd in the Tacon Walk, and when near Delos Quinta Milias the demonstrators began to shove the policemen, pulling their coats and attempting to take away their clubs. There were more than a hundred policemen within three blocks but they did not act together; indeed, they were thoroughly \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*< scared, and one policeman ran to Central Park, where the regulars were camped.

Ni_r.S0iy, March I4thj '1800: To the Editor of the Tribunes Will y<_u allow me space in 'The Trjbui\\e to ask that some good men, with influence, go and see the acting mayor regarding; the condition of the streets. As the acting mayor's time is taken up with office Jwork, he might be induced to get the chairman of the public works committee of the old couucil to look after the matter. He, certainly, has been in the town long enough to know where the streets are, and is wide awake when he travels along them. There is a hole in front the Hume hotel that is dangerous at night, and the sidewalk in front of the Kootenay hotel is unsafe. There are ridges in the streets in front of Turner, Beeton & Co.'s and the office of the Hamilton Powder Company. These ridges are dangerous to teams. The city wharf is also in a dangerous condition. It is not safe to drive over in daylight, let alone at night when the boat from Kootenay Landing arrives. I think the present council should be put aboard bucking bronchos and get stirred up. They put me in mind of the farmer that had his hen-roost robbed of chickens by a fox. The hen-roost was fixed by the farmer, but the fox dug a hole underneath and got in. The farmer then hung a bell in the hole to scare the fox oif. The fox, after ruuniug away once, returned and examined the bell. He scratched and the bell rattled, and he looked up and said : A groat bipr mouth and a great long tongue, A heap of fiiHS and nothing done. Respectfully, J. M. Linehaugii.

FORM A COALITION To Unseat Minister of Mines Hume Take the Scalp of Attorney Genera- Martin. and A petition has been filed against the return of Hon. J. Fred Hume as representative of Nelsbu riding; bub the petitioner in tlie case is not W. G. McCandlish, who performed a like, service for the local political machine once before. There is something odd about the McCandlish petition. It was engineered by the self-asserted chiefs of the locdl Tory, party, and left Nelson last week ; but it was not filed, because the petition of another political faction was filed ahead of it. The petition which has been tiled was signed by James Smith of this city,, and filed by Gordon Hunter of Victoria, who is waging a fight against attorney-general Martin and also against the Laurieradministration. '-:.-;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The fact that there are two parties anxious to secure control of the Nelson election petition, indicates that something more is sought after than the unseating of Mr. Hume. The chances are that there is;a desire on the rjart of both factions to use the Nelson petition as a club over the head of attorney^general Martin. The members of the local Conservative party are very much in the dark over the filing of the McCandlish petition, but they are now of the opinion that their leaders have been used as tools in the hauds of designing Grit politicians at Victoria, and they are very sore thereat. It looks a_s ifan effort will be made to put the electors of the Nelson riding to the expense of another election, in order that some;of the dissatisfied politicians at the Coast may wreak their vengeance upon attorney-general Martin, and the odd thing is thatthe Tory machine is being used to secure the ends of the dissatisfied ;\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Grits..

Your directors recommend that a division at the rate of 5 percent per annum be made for the half-year ended 81st Deceiiiber, 1808; this will absorb the sum of \ufffd\ufffd15,000, leaving a balance of .G8735 3s. 4d. to be carried forward to next half-year, lu connection with the accounts, I may mention that we have reduced the charges account by _-_4540 since June, 1807. Before sitting down I will move a resolution as to the dividend. I have already briefly alluded to the revival that has taken place during the past year in the trade of British Columbia, and I may add that there is strong; evidenceof further and increasing activity aud progress this season in the commercial, the agricultural, and the mining interests of that country. The only interest that suf- ered last year was the salmon fisheries, from the fact pf a very short run of fish, and thus the canneries have been left with a large proportion of their supplies on hand, but which will be available, I hope profitably, this coming season. I am glad to be able to include the state of California in the improvement I have just referred to ; heavy rains have at last fallen, and business is resuming its active career there. The late war also restricted business both of an export and import character. The mining outlook all over British Columbia is satisfactory and encouraging, and the development in the mines has brought to view iu many instances, large bodies of ore of various minerals that promise a continuance of increasing output, and the completion of the railways under construction, and those projected, will enable many valuable properties to swell later returns. The prospecting work done in divisions not traversed by railways is also going on, and satisfies those best acquainted with the country that mining in British Columbia is, as yet, only in itsinitialstage Agriculture in British Columbia never appeared more favorable for success than at the present time. The increased demand for the past two years, and the good crops, have done much toward reestablishing the confidence of the farmer. The harvest of 1S08 was good, and this, following the previous year's large crop, has materially improved the agricultural interests of the country. On a review, therefore, of the whole position of things in British Columbia and in .California, I think 1 may fairly hope for the present year an inrproving and more encouraging future than we haye lately experienced, and I trust I may see these anticipations fully realized. I beg to move\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"That the report and statement of accounts, as now submitted, be received and adopted.\" (Applause.) The chairman: I have next to move\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd \"That a dividend be paid on the paid-up capital of the bank at the rate of five per cent per annum, free of income tax, for the half year ended 31st December last, payable on and after the 13th instant.\" T. G. Gillespie seconded the resolution, which was agreed to. The chairman:. I have great pleasure in proposing the reelection of my friend Henry J. Gardiner as a director, and I have no doubt it will receive your support. He is a most valuable and attentive colleague, and in every way I think we could not have a. better man to help us. (Hear,.hear.)'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"..\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Guy Oswald Smith seconded the motion, which was put and carried. The chairman: I have also to move \"That T. G. Gillespie; who\/ retires by rotation in accordance with the deed of settlement, be reelected.\" You will at once see the delicacy I have here; I cannot say more for my dear old cousin than that he is a good fellow and an attentive colleague and director; He is always ready to, help and he has a good head on his shoulders.

Nelson Shipping Seturns. \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd The trade aud navigation returns show that Nelson is quite a shipping point. During the past year the number of vessels arriving and departing from the port numbered 2208, their tonnage was 455,020 tons, and their crews numbered 35,254. There are now four known applicants for the position of. looking after the mineral exhibit of the province at the Paris exposition, and as the board of trade did not endorse any of the applicants at its meeting last evening, all have an equal chance. When the communications of Dr. E. C. Arthur, 0. M. Rosendale aud Jeremie Rob- illiard were read, J. A. Turner said that he had another applicant to place in nomination in the person of A. II. Holdich. Charles Hillyer said that he understood there were two or three other applicants who were desirous of securing the position, and in order that all might' have a show he would move that the board defer action upon the communications until its next meeting. H. B. Thomson supported the suggestion of Mr. Hillyer. He thought that with the applicants before them the members were placed in the position of judges aJ-'-a baby- show. He thought it must be clear to everyone that the more candidates there were the safer it would be to make a choice. A. E. Hodgins expressed the.opinion that the members of the board were treading upon dangerous ground in endeavoring to choose between the nine applicants. He thought that the only safe manner of dealing with the matter would be to forward the entire bunch of applications to Hon. J. Fred Hume with a general recommendation covering them all, and the secretary should also be empowered to forward any other applications which might reach him later. H. R. Bellamy was opposed to delay. He thought the board should look into the matter at once and make a choice instead of sending the applicants to Victoria in a body. The board should pick out one of the men, no matter whether it was the Frenchman or not. After some further discussion the board adopted the resolution of Mr. Hillyer deferring action till the next meeting. - The question of a suitable mineral exhibit was then taken up-and after considerable discussion it was decided, upon resolution of H. B. Thomson, to authorize the council of the board to investigate the best methods of securing a suitable min-' eral exhibit, and that the council be authorized to expend $150 in furtherance of this object. , . - H. B. Thomson then brought up the question of publishing a map showing the trade advantages pf Nelson over all other Kootenay points. ' He thought .that a' \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd suitable.'map could bepublished for $000 and if the board would subscribe $150 he thought the remainder could be secured from the citizens. His idea was to pub- , lishoOOO-or 0000 maps, and forward same to the agricultural department at Vic- ' toria, and the agent-general's and Canadian Pacific Rail way Company's offices in London. He moved that' the matter be referred to a committee composed of J. A. Turner, II. 03. Thomson, T. G. Proctor, - Frank Fletcher, G. F. Beer, A. E. Hodgins + and J. Banner-man. - + , An amendment was moved byJA. E. Hodgins to the effect that'$300 be appropriated by the board for the map. This was agreed to aud the resolution' as amended was adopted. G. F. Beer called the attention of, the \" board to the desirability of securing an r -. excursion rate from the. East to Nelson over the Crow's Nest railway and-of hav-\" - ing Nelson placed upon the tourist routes of the transcontinental railways. . . W. II. Grant said that there was plenty \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of time in which to consider \"such a resolution. He did not think the Crow's Nest _r(Jiid-WOuld_be_ready_foi_trafl!C-till-theend=\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd of July or August as the roadbed was not in shape to run trains over the mountain section at night. The suggestion .was therefore dropped. . - Th6 report qf the public building com-.\" mittee was then read and adbpted, and the committfee discharged.

His opponents used every method known in practical politics to bring about a different result. The election was pro- .tested, but the protest was dropped. Six months afterwards Mr. Hume resigned, because a provincial constable boarded for a while at a hotel in which he (Hume) had an interest, and sought re-election. In February last. he was returned by a majority of IS- votes, his opponent being the same man as in the July election. Scarcely a month has elapsed, yet two petitions have been filed praying that he be unseated. We believe the people of the riding are becoming just a trifle tired of these efforts to oust Mr. Hume from a seat he has twice won. The sooner the members in the legislative assembly from Kootenay declare their independence of the Coast politicians, the better it will be for Kootenay. ISTo member from Kootenay should be a catspaw for the leaders of either faction of the Grit party; no more should they be ;VhewerS;of\ufffd\ufffdwood*for the,wirepullers of the ^.'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd'\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.Tpry^pa^tyl1!^' three-cornered fight has ^eommen^ie'd^fbetween^ .attorney-general j:^atti_i\\a_itd?B.jJ V.

Money Invested in Real Estate Since th- Bank Crisis. \"#. \"Durjrigthe last eighteen months niany of.the fixed, deposits, which were locked' up at the time oi' the banking crisia in Australia six years ago, have been released, and many people, not willing again to eutrust their capital to the banks, have invested either in land or in building--. This i'act may be put down as one reason for the remarkable activity in the building trades, The outskirts of the city of Sydney, and, in fact, whole new suburbs, bear witness to this, and even districts which two years ago could boast of but a hahdlul of dwelling-* at most have become thriving little villages and townships. Another symptom of the movement is found ih the demand put forward by thecarpen- ters and joiners for a general fixing of the standard wage at nine shillings a day. It is rather difficult to say accurately to what ex ten-'this matter is justified, for judgments differ a good deal as to the desirability of a hard and fast standard being fixed at all; but it is gratifying to see recognition that the condition of the building trades show a degree of activity from which higher wages and fuller employment are to be expected. Au advance in wages for tlie carpenters and joiners will undoubtedly be granted even though a fixing of a standard rate is refused, for the prices of building material are hardening, and the trade supplying these feel the activity and profit by it. The industrial relations of the colonies are so close and so independent that any great increase of activity in one colony, however beneficial it might be in other re spects, could have little results in increasing the rewards of local labor unless the workers in other colonies are similarly favored. A demand for labor draws it readily from any colony where it is poorly employed, so that there is really but one labor market for all the different colonies: and only general activity can keep the market fully occupied. The activity seen in Sydney is also visible in Melbourne.. It is said that much of the increased activity in the \"Queen City of the South\" and the consequent demand for labor are'results of the great fire in Flinders street, a little more than a year ago, .when an entire block, containing some of the largest warehouses in the city, was completely gutted., = , It is safe to.say, however, that the improvement in Melbourne is in excess pf what can be due to the fire, while at tlie same time the readiness of the owners to engage in the work of rebuilding must be taken as indicatioirof their confidence in the -recovery from the . prolonged depression. In any case the full emplbyment-of the men in;Mel bourne enables theirfellow workers'in Sydney to get. the.benefit of improving conditions by-^lessening the competition to which' the Sydney men would othervvise be subject.

There n-iglit be solid trains of a single commodity or manufactured product, and trains that were mixed, made up of ears of miscellaneous freight, and then there might be trains made up half of cars of one article of produce, say grain for export, and the other half of varitius cars. Among the cars of the various incoming trains will be seen furniture ears, designed for the transportation of furniture, which have long been ufeed';.. these ai'6 larger than the ordinary freight cars, for furni- 44 ture, though bulky, is comparatively light. Refrigerator cars are nowadays of common use and may be seen in great numbers ; perhaps in solid trains. Cattle cars, of course, are old ; there may be solid trains of cattle cars. There are now used many improved cars for the transportation of horses aud cattle, specially equipped for the secure and comfortable transportation of valuable stock. There are many cars devoted to the transportation of special food products of one sort and another, these bearing the name of the producer using them as well as tho name of theVprqduct. \"carried in them. Among such ears, was one marked \"So-and;So's Pork and Beans, Ready 'for. Use.\" It may be that this car contained some other products of the house using it; but it was as likely a solid carof pork and beans. There are many articles of small bulk or put up.in- packages, separately small,'of.which the.consuruption in the- aggregate is so large=that to great centers of population, either for use there or for redistribution thence by export or otherwise, they are shipped \"commonly in carload lots.. There are hay cars, and-cars for dairy products, and cars for fruit and cars for various other uses.

Market A Vast Difference Between the \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Value of Gold and Gallium. The expression \"worth their weight in gold\" is a familiar one. In the book of standard quotations it is thus credited to John Ferrier: \"Now cheaply bought\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdfor thrice their weight in gold.\" It is-very generally believed that gold is recognized as the most valuable of the precious metals, but such a view of the matter does not take into view \"the scientists*.\" There has recently appeared, under warrant of the highest scientific authority, a statement of values based upon the commercial price of various rare metals\ufffd\ufffd\ufffda statement which overthrows many previous fond notions. A pound avoirdupois of gold is put in this state- ,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd, ment as worth $300. A pound of platinum is valued at $144 aud iridium at $112. After these there is a rapid descent, according to the scientists, to cobalts worth $8 a pound, magnesium worth $4.50, bismuth worth $2.75, sodium $2 50, manganese $1.10, and aluminum 85 cents. ? Theu comes a jump to chromium worih $100 a pound and palladium worth .$500. Uranium is worth $080 and osmium is worth $1000 a pound. There may be scattered about the commuuity a few persons who are looking for bargains in barium, which costs $1900 a pound, or for rhodmm, :,^vhi\"ch.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd:c1qst|i$2500\/ bi':f6-l7rti;iutnVJ'^I'i'ic'h\"; < rjB giires?^'bo^vfey e^ \ufffd\ufffdintb*insigiYi^ i\ufffd\ufffda__yi&ing'?s%\"ihta^ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd Th-^ppai-eiit5 \/exc'es^j^df^yyue.'pfj.the. \"otlie^ m^l'alsVciuoted .^yjefftha^ydhgdjal^ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\"..\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdsJjffM\/lw\"-.* Y^^'i^i.r>-lit-..\"ifA*:Ka1 \"'d\"rl\ufffd\ufffdrl,ofl'\" .fr.i\". \"t-lVfi8. r> \ufffd\ufffdA Pfl *^-_.\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdUu. 1\ufffd\ufffd P IV*f.,*IlZ...%]P%:,'ei...pJpWl. ...j\"...

Ib is then quartered or split until a sample is oBtaiiied small enough fpr convenient handling. A poured into a metal mold and allowed to cool. The slag is then broken off and a lead button is found at fcho bottom of the mold. This lead button contains all the gold and silver in the ore. To separate the gold and silver from the lead the button is placed in a cupel, a small dish made of bone-ash, and replaced in the muffle. The lead is melted and part of it passes off in fumes, while part of it is absorbed, together with any copDer or other substances which may be in the button, by the bone-ash, leaving a small silver button in the cupel. If the ore is known to contain much silver, the lead button is placed in the cupel just as ib is taken from the slag; but if there is very little silver in the ore, a known quantity of pure silver is added, so that there may be a heavy excess of silver in the button obtained in the cupel. This is necessary in order that the button maybe parted with acid. The silver button is weighed on the button balance and is then parted by immersing it in nitric acid. - The acid dissolves the silver and leaves the gold in the form of fine black dust. The-parting is done in an annealing cup. The gold is washed and dried and the cup is placed-in the muffle and heated to a read heat,* which anneals the gold, bringing it into a compact mass and giving it its true gold color. The gold is transferred to the tray on the button balance and weighed. The weight of the gold is deducted from the weight of the silver button, giving the weight of the silver. The button balance is an exceedingly delicate piece of mechanism. It is kept in a glass case, and the weighing _3 done with the case closed, in order that the air currents in the room may not aifect the beam. The balance is so delicate that the vibrations caused by a person walking across a room, near them will affect the result. A strand of maiden hair will turn the balance as if it were a young man's head. The gold and silver are weighed to milligrams, and even to hundredths of a milligram. The weights and buttons are placed on the balance with small pincers,; in. order;._.that,Vthe\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.hands, .infay\ufffd\ufffdiito^ .%':,\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdi\"\ufffd\ufffd \"*-\"*\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd:*\ufffd\ufffd\" JS^i8.\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd*.'\/.\"\/\ufffd\ufffdvV\"\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\" v.w^v\"_j\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd:.. pjy.^^^.'.'JS HEAD OFFICE, TORONTO D.

[Golden Era, March 10th.] In dealing with the town lot3 at Field, in East Kootenay, we hope the minister of the interior will take some steps to see that the people who have built on lots there will be fully protected in their interests. It has been stated that the lots will be put up to auction, but we submit that it would be a most unjust proposal, as it would aid the Canadian Pacific railway or any other monopoly to buy up these lots and give them full control of the townsite\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdthe very thing which it is sought to avoid. The people who have taken up lots and built should have the first right to them, and a reasonable valuation should be placed oh the lots, with a small deposit, and the balance payable on easy terms. This policy would ensure to the residents there the right which they are entitled to, and moreover it would enable the Canadian Pacific railway employees to get free homes and not be bound body and soul to the company employing them. We have asked Mr. Bostock to support this view of the case with the minister of the interior, and he will doubtless do so.

The sample thus obtairied is spread upon a \"bueking- boatd,\" a mefal plate fastened on a firin foundation. It is then reduced to powder by roiling it with a '\ufffd\ufffd\ufffd.Duller,\" whifth is a heavy iron sledge With .a sniooth coilvex s.liri'ace. 'The sample is usually piiiverized until it will pass through a sixty tn^sh, or sometimes even.an eighty-mesh sieve. In this conditio*, tlie ore is (.lifted piiip. The assayer uses Weights wliioh are proportioned to the commerei.ll weights, an assay ton, consisting of 29,1(1(5, grams, representing a ton of ore. The result of the assay is weighed in milligraiUs. If an assay ton of the pulp is used, each milligram in the result represents an ouuee of the precious meml to .he ton. Usually half an assay ton of the pulp is used, and the result is then multiplied by two to get the number of ounces to the ton. A half assay.ton of the pulp is weighed carefully on the pulp scales and put into a crucible, together with a flux. The flux consists of carbonate of soda, borax and litharge, or protoxide of lead; sometimes flour is added. The proportions of the ingredients in the (lux vary according to the nature of the ore. Some heavy lead or galena ores require very little litharge. Other ores which contain little or no lead require litharge in larger quantities. The pulp and the flux are thoroughly mixed and covered with salt or borax. Borax makes a clearer flux, but has no other advantage over the common salt. If there is an excess of sulphur iri the ore, iron nails are added. The crucible is then placed in the furnace, which has been heated to white heat to receive it. The furnace contains a fireclay oven called a muffle, which is made with an opening at the back to permit the fumes from the crucibles to escape. Usually half an hour or forty minutes is required to reduce the contents of the.crucible to a volatile state.

ClilT Loudin is down from Coffee creek, where the Kootenay Air Compressing Company are putting in a plant to supply power to the mines around Ainswortb. It is expected that the plant will be completed in ten days. An explosion of the acetylene gas plant in Hebden & Hebden's hardware store took place about one o'clock today. The machiue was completly wrecked, and lur- ther damage to the extent of about $125 was done. The machine was in the basement of the building and no reason for the explosion can be given. Alfred T. Hebden, book-keeper for the firm, was going down to the basement at the time of the explosion and .was knocked unconscious, but recovered in a few seconds. W. N.

Points in the interior are discriminated against by all the railways that have terminals on the coast. A wholesale merchant orders a carload of candles from the east. Supposing he does business at Nelson, he pays $1.79 a hundred freight on the arrival of the car at Nelson, and is then charged 40 cents a hundred for the privilege of distributing them to points in Kootenay. V Supposing the candles were ordered by a wholesaler at Vancouver. He pays 95 cents a hundred on delivery, and is-allowed, to distribute them an.y- * where ih Kootenay in less than.carload lots by.'paying, an. additional 91 cents-a hundred. The Nelson wholesaler and his .customer ih.Kboteuay combined pay $2._19 a hundred freight 'on candles^ while the Vancouver wholesaler and his customer in Kootenay combined pay but $1.89,.a .hundred. Yet Vancouver is 300 miles farther than Nelson-i'rom eastern points, and 400 miles farther thau Nelson from Kootenay points. - Jerry is a Poet. To de Edittur Tribune: . M.
