In reply to the dispatoh of the\nBritish Government, tha Transvaal\nGovernment, on Saturday, handed to\nthe British agent at Pretoria a response\nof which the folowmg is the purport:\nThe Government ot the South Africa\nRepublio regret that Groat Britain\nis of opinion thut it is unable lo accept the proposals made hy the Transvaal dispatches of August 111 and 21,\nby whioh the term for obtaining the\nfranchise was fixed at Hve years and\nthe representation of the Witwaters-\nrandt and district was included, the\nGovernment regrets the nine inasmuch as it considers itself, to deduce\nfrom the negotiations previous to its\nformal proposals, that the latter wonld\nbe accept d by tho British Government In these conditions the Truns-\nvaul considers its proposals are annulled and iiuds it necessary to submit\nthem to the Volksraad and the people\nIt remains of the opinion that its proposals are extremely 1.1. \"al and more\nthan those presented by rhe British\nHigh Commissioner nt Bloemfontein\nIt is also of the opinion that the eruditions attached to these proposals are\nreasonable. The Transvaal never desired Great Britian to abandon any\nrights possessed by virtue of the Louder, convention of 1884 or by virtue of\nInternational law. The Transvaal\nstill hopes that these declarations will\nlead to a good understanding andsn-\nlntinn of the existing difficulties\nWith regard to Ihe question of suzerainty, the Transvaal Government refers to 'be dispatch of April Hi, 1808\nand considers it unnecessary to repeat\nthat dispatch.\nTho reply then proceeds to say:\n\"The Transvaal Governmeut has already made known to the British agent\nits objections to accepting the proposals contained in the British High\nCommissioner's toleg'am of August 2,\nsuggesting the appoiniuent of delegates to draw up a report ou the last\nelectoral law voted by the Volksraad.\nIf the one sided examination referred\nto iu the last British dispatch should\nshow that the existing electoral law\ncan be made eflicaoious the Transvaal\nGovernment is ready to make a proposal to the Volksraad. With this object it is also disposed to furnish all\nthe information aud enlightenment\npossible, but is of opinion that the result of such an inquiry, so far as regards appreciation of the law will be\nof little value. Nevertheless, the Government is very desirous of satisfying\nGreat liriitain in tho matter of the\nelectoral law, and the representation\nof the mining distriots.\"\nThe reply then refers to Mr. Chamberlain's proposals respecting a joint\ninquiry and sayB: \"Consulerng that\nby these proposals, Great Britain does\nnot aim at any interference in the\naffairs of the Transvaal, ami that this\nactiou would uot be rugarded as a precedent, but bas solely''for its object to\nascertain whether the franchise law\nfulfills its purpose, the Transvaal will\nawait the ulterior proposals nf Groat\nBritain as to the eventual constitution\nof such coinmissiion as well as the\nplace und time for the meeting.''\nThe Transvaal Government further\nproposes at au early date, to send a reply to the letter of July 27, and expresses satisaotion that Great Britain\nhas declared a readiness to negotiate on\nthe question of a court of arbitration.\nIt says it would like to learn, however, whether the free state Burghers\nwould be admitted to such a court and\nWhat would be the scone of tho couit's\ndiscussion, it appearing to the Transvaal Government that the restrictions\nimpose will prevent the attainment of\nthe objeots aimen at.

If\nthe report of his speech delivered at\nRossland on Labor Day is to be taken\nas the maesure of hiB ability and his\nhonesty, organised labor in this Province might easily have a more creditable representative. He emitted a\ngreat deal of very cheap and stale stuff,\nbut our present interest is more with\nthe lamentable lack of candor displayed\nin dealing with the Eight-Hour law.\nThroughout his remarks he treated it\nas if it, and what ho was pleased to\nregard as the principle underlying it,\nconstituted the entire issue between\ntho mine owners and the mine workers\nThis branch of his subject was introduced with the remark thnt when organised labor expressed a disposition\nfor eight hours the operators ought to\nhave yielded gracefully, remembering\nthat the priuciplo was already established. If the gentleman had made\nhimself familiar with the proceedings\nof a convention of the (liners' Federation of Warwickshire, England, two or\nthree weeks ago, ho would know something of the lamentations made over\nthe fact that neither party in the British Parliament would recognise the\nprinciple by snpporting an eight-hour\nday. We can overlook his ignorance\non this point, however, especially as\nit is so obvious ou many others. Where\nhe cannot be ignorant, and must bo\ndishonest, is in speaking of the expressed disposition of organised labor\nin this Province for au eight-hour\nday. So littlo was this disposition expressed that organised labor in the Slo-\noan did not know that such a law was\ncontemplated; did not know that the\nLegislature had any thought of dealing\nwith it until soveral days after it lir.il\nbeeu passed. So little was it expressed that the mine owners were kept\nin ignorance of the intention, and\nhad no opportunity to put in a word\nfor thoir side of tbe question. Like\nthieves in the night, some members of\nthe Legislature, of whom Mr. Ralph\nSmith was one, stole in with their\nmeasure and smuggled it through. It\nwas ill done so stealthily that it was\nseveral weeks before it becamo generally known tho law had been passed,\nand no one was more ignornut of its\npassage or surprised at it than the\nminers themselves. So much for that\nfabrication.\nThe Issue in not over the law itself.\nIf introduced openly in tho face of\nday, there would probably havo been\nno objection from many of tbe mine\nowners. What they object to is the\nmost uujust attempt of the labor leaders to force them to pay a ten-hour\nwage foi an eight-hour day. With\nthen pistols at the heads of the mine\nowners, those loaders have attempted\nto rob them of twenty per cent, of the\namount of theii pay roll. That is tho\nissue, as Mr. tialph Smith doubtless\nknoars but is too dishonest to discuss.\nence may approve, further than to require bim to respect the nonseieflces of\nOthers und render decent observance of\na custom that has become a part of\nthe nature of onr nice. Nor is it proposed to ask any mini to forego t. right\nor commit a wrong. Tbe barbers of\nihe City, for example, we anxions to\nhave Sunday to themselves, but the\nnine of them \ufffd\ufffdre afraid that, if they\ncliBO, the leuth will not, and their\nbusiness instinct will not permit them\nto be overreached, One of the bylaws\nproposes to secure by enactment what\nthev cannot make fast by mutual agreement. The remit is agreeable to the\nbarbers themselves, and no; others\nhave any call to complain. Another\nenactment is intended to prohibit the\npromiscuous trafficking in merchandise. That is in accordance with the\ngeneral law anrt custom of the Dominion and of the Empire. Nelson may\nhe a mining camp, as it is saia to be,\nbut if by this is meant tbat it is subject tc tho sway of lawlessness aud\nrowdyism, there is somewhere a profound misunderstanding of the sentiment, of the Oity.\nThere is nothing in lhe proposed bylaws lo give the least concern to any\npeaceable, law-abiding, respectable\ncitizen, but much to please and gratify.\nAll that need be said further is that\nif any person in the Oity, by offering\nns a Mayoralty or other candidate, desires to challenge an issue ou this\nqnestion of a decent observance of Sunday, we have no doubt he oan be accommodated, nnd just as little doubt\nthat by tho time he is through he will\nconclude that he hns had\" a bellyful.\npocted among those modest Territorial\npoliticians, who go about their affairs\nwithout attracting 'he least attention\nfrom the outside. It 1ms been kuown\nthat Mr. Haultain wns lining himself\ncredit in the sphere sn far assigned\nhim, bnt few, we imagine, had any\nidea lhat he possessed those Qualities\nthat would (it him to take the lead in\ntho wider, more onerous, and more\nresponsible arena at Ottawa.\nKOOTENAY ORE SHIPMENTS.\nTlm officer in charge of Her Majesty's Customs ollice in Nelson has\nbeen notified that in future in no esse\nshall an invoice be shown to, or a copy\nthereof given to any person other than\nau importer, or his agent, or attorney,\nexcept by order or subpoena of a\nOourt of Justice, He may, however, at\nhis discretion, show the monthly aggregate returns to au enquirer.\nIt has besn the practice of The\nMiner to publish reports of any\nshipments of ore, bullion or matte,\nwhich have heen entered at the\nNelson Custom House. Through the\ncourtesy of the collector of Customs\nthere has never been any difficulty in\nobtaining the required information,\nThere is reason to believe that the publication iu a newspaper of ore shipments from oertain mines is viewed\nwith disfavor by some mine owners.\nIt is easy to see that such publication\ncan have hut one object, namely, the\nbenefit of the country and tho public\nin general. It is for the benefit of the\ncountry that the output of ore from\nthe mines of Kootenay,especially those\niu the Nelson distriot, is made known\nthrongh the press. There can be no\ndesire on tho onrt of those who h\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdve\nthe interests of lhe Province at heart\nto hide the light of the country's prosperity under a bushel.\nIt is for the benefit of the public\nthat tbe actual output of a mine\nis made kuown, in order that they may\nbo so guided iu their choice of an investment.\nBut it is possible that the publication\nof the output of any one mine may\nmilitate against those who desire to\nrig the market or gull the public us to\nthe true valne of lhat mino.\nThe Allans have added a now ship\nto their fleet, the Bavarian, recently\nlaunched. Tht Liverpool Post publishes a long description of tho vessel,\ntogether with a report of a luncheon\ngiven in celebration of tho event. The\nBavarian is a passenger boat, but with\ngenerous freight capaoity, She is good\nfor an average speed of seventeen\nknots, which will send her from Liverpool to Quebec in something less than\nsix days. This is not up to the requirements of a fast service, but, as'\nher boilder said at the luncheon, if\nCanada wants more let ber pay for it,\nami the Allans will supply what is demanded, It is thought ovei hero that\nthree-quarters of a million a year for\ntwenty years is pretty good pay, and\nthe Allans might do worse than fulfill j\ntbo conditions for earning it Perhaps with the Bavarian they may induce Mr. Mulock to restore tbe mail\nlontraot recently taken from them and\naiven to a slower line.\nWest Kootenay Butcher Co.\n_=.

There is no attempt at a revival of the Blue Laws,\nor of anything in the least like the\nBlue Laws. All that is proposed is\nthat tbe by-laws of this Oity of Nelson\nshall recognise the eipedieucy, at any\nrate, if not the necessity, of having a\nday of rest.

The prisoner pleaded\nguilty to colli charges. The judge re-\nnnrkird upon the prisoner's yiuth und\nhow sad it was to see a young man in\nuncli a position. He (Judge Forin)\nknew nothing of the prisoner's past.\nHern Keune iy interposed, and said\nthat Ihe newspapers had given a history of his past record. He told the\njudge he had nothing else to say in\nanswer to the charge. Judge Forin sentenced bim to two years in the penitentiary for each offence, both sentences to run oonourrently.\nThomas Cameron then was placed\niu the dock to answer to the charge\nof unlawfully stealing a valuable security, viz., an order for payment of\nf 16.05 from the person of John Leech.\nTlie, prisoner stated that he was told to\ntake the cheque hy Leech which\namounted to a plea of not gnilty.

Beer's\nby-laws were under discussion. It was\nquite like old times lo hear such language iu the Council chamber.\nWho Aid. Fletcher's opponent will\nbe is not yet apparent. To The Miner\nyesterday, Aid. Beer said ho had no intention whatever, of running for mayoralty honors To start with no ono\nhad asked him to do so, and even if he\nwore asked, he would havo to refuse,\nas he has no I deRire for the honor, and\noould not give thejtime to the City, if\nhe were elected. He also stated that\nhe would not offoi himself for re-election as alderman. He hoped to see the\nby-laws, which nre now before the\nCouncil, passed, and carried into\neffe-t.\nAsked if the by-laws concerning\nSunday closing, which he is] fathering,\nwill include bars and saloons, as most\npeople seem to think, Aid. Beer snid\nthat such was never contemplated by\nhim. Such matters wero covered by\nthe Licensing Act,nnd it was the work\nof the License Commissioner!) ro see\nthat its regulatious were carried out\nHe did not intend to urge the Oity\nCouncil to dn anything, but mind its\nown business.\nIt is well known that His Worship\nMayor Norlands, will have hnd all be\nwants of mayoralty honors by the end\nof the year, nnd that he will not contest the honor for a second term. So\nat present the representative of the\nHouston forces is the only one in the\nheld.

All lights south\neast of this boundary will be supplied\non tbe new alternating system from\nthis high tension wire.\nThe peonliar advantage, of th s particular system is the great saving in\ncopper wire. The reason why such\nthick wire is used for the feeder is owing to the high voltage, which will be\n82(H), whereas that in the old wiles is\n120. The uew dynamo should arrive\nthis woek, but tuo Oity Engineer in-\nt'nds, as far as possible, to have everything ready so that immediately the\ndynamo is put iu place, connections\ncan to mado.\nAT THE HOTELS.\nTHE COLUMBIA FIRES.\nSince, the hearing of the charge preferred against Charles Mt.llen aud\nRobert Cameron for setting iiro to the\nColumbia Hotel, the latter has signod\na full confession Stating thut be received the money from parties to burn Mthe\nhotel, and that he hired another ..man\nto tlo the work.

The seam is enjd\nto average .? feet in width. It is located on the Lanrier mineral claim on Ihe\nnorth fork of Kettle river. Jay P,\nGraves, the well known mining und\n.melting magnate, has purchased u\nhalf interest and the development of\nthe property will be commenced next\nweek. Mr.\" Clark looated the Lrinr-\nier seven years ago, and has done considerable work in opening tip two\nledges, which give good assays in gold\nand copper. He sold a half interest to\nCampbell Johnson, of Nelson, B. U.\nFor a long time pnst Mr. Clark bus\nbeen aware of the existence of a darkish slate colored ledge on the Laurier,\nbnt'.nntll recently never seriously considered the possibility that it might\ncontain coul. The lead at various\npoints is over 100 feet wide. Two\nweeks ago lie re-examined the show\ning, and at a point where it strikes\nFisherman's creek fonnd what lie con\nsiders to be lignite coal. The pay\nstreak, or seam, in tho cut banks cf\nthe stream is about two feet wide.\nTests showed that the product burned\nvery well, and emitted a strong heat.\nMr. Clark in accordance with the law\nre-staked the claim as a coal location,\nand also recorded similar locations\nou adjoining mineral claims belong\ning to other parties. He now holds\n640 acres.\nIt bas transpired that Jay P. Graves\nhas secured the half interest after the\nfind had been examined by A. B. W.\nHodges, superintendent of the smelter,\nnow building at Grand Forks. Mr,\nHodges is also a mining engineer. He\ndeclined to discuss the matter.coutent-\nmg himself with the observation that\na coal mine in the Boundary country\nwould result in the reduction of smelt\ning charges to |a. 00 per ton.\nMr. Graves took several samples of\nthe^coal to Spokane last week, iu order\nto have it fully tested and examined\nby experts.\n* _ \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nA. L. McEwen, a Nelson mining\nengineer,representing the Consolidated\nMines Selection Syndicate of London,\nEngland, is in Sumpter. Ore., looking\nover mining propositions with a view\nof investing. Mr. McEwen states\nthat be finds that camp the most prom\nising field he has ever visited, aud be\nhas been in all the mining districts of\nCanada, Ontario, and British Colniu\nbia. He will probably remain there\nsome time, as he has under consider;!\ntion a property, and if the deal is\nclosed, the amount of the sale will\nrnu up into six figures.\nColonel S. W. Ray, of the banking\nfirm of Ray, Street & Co, of Port Arthur, Out., ib also there looking for\nproperties that are already developed\nor will buy promising prospects to\ndevelop He has under oonaideratior\ntwo or three different properties which\nare partially developed, and there is\nevery probability of bis taking ono of\nthem, and possibly two, He is much\nimpressed with tho immense possibilities and enormous ledges of that camp.\nColonel Ray will be remembered as\nthe party who so successfully engineered the affairs of the Molly Gibson\nmine, that that property will ship this\nwinter. He is also connected with\nthe Dardanelles mine in the Slocan\ncamp.\n\ufffd\ufffd * *\nThe Excelsior Gold Mining Company\nis pushing things on the Joker, up the\nsouth fork of Kaslo creek, in the\nSlocan. It has this summer built a\ntrail connecting with tho Government wagon road up the oreek, and\nhas four buildings complotetd. It is now\nbuilding a shaft bouse 40 feet square.\nIt is the intention, as soon as this\nlast building is completed, to put on\nabout 15 uiiuers and pay $3.60 for\neight-hour shifts. This 'company is\ncomposed of French capitalists who\napparently, are not afraid to spend\nmoney fnely, as they have great faith\nin their property. Tbey will put in a\nstamp mill abont three and ione-half\nmiles down the trail from the Joker.\n* * _\nWork has been commenced on the\nflume for the Wakefield concentrator,\nou Four Mile, in the Slocan.\n* * *\nLast week two feet of ore wus struck\nin the west drift of the Silver Bell,\nMcGuigau Basin, Slocan.\n* * *\nDevelopment on the Arrieu group\nabove tlm Mountain Chief, in the Slocnn, has uncoveied a strong lead,with a\nsprinkling of ore.\n* \ufffd\ufffd \ufffd\ufffd\ufffd\nWork is tn i.e .commenced on the Mol-\n.io nuglies, in tne Hlooafi, at oneo bv\nthe owners.

On Saturday Nelsonians will have an opportunity of hearing one of the finest military bands in Europe. Heretofore the\nprofessional troupes of musical and dramatic visitors to this town have not\nbeen of a very high order. Doubtless\nthe greater artists fear that it would\nnot be worth their while to come\nto Nelson. If therefore the people of\nthis City want to encourage tho visits\nof good musicians and theatrical companies tbey must unite in patronising\nany first class entertainment the management of which has been ven'uie-\nsome enough to include Nelson in a\ntoor. Godfrey's bund should surely\ncommand a hearty reception here aud\nthere should not be a seat left unsold.\nThe music ns set forth in the following programme is of a distinctly popular obnrnoter and certainly will not\nbe above lhe least musical of lhe audience.\nAFTERNOON PROGRAMM10.\nI.
