B.C.. WEDNESDAY, JULY 8, 1903\nOF $11000,000\nWhat It Will Cost Upton to\nWin the Cup\nHe Favors Use of Sea-Going\nSchooners in Future\nNew York, July 7.-A Sandy Hook calm\nfamiliar to cup racers prevented more than\na brief trial of the two Shamrocks today,\nbut one hour's windward work In a very\nlight wind afforded tho new cup hunter an\nopportunity to demonstate again her wonderful drifting qualities. Pointing higher\nand footing faster, the new boat worked\nout to windward of the old one and 45\nminutes after tho start was an eighth of a\nmile to windward of her. Then the wind\ndied away and the trial was abandoned.\nA special to the World from Washington\nBays: At the recent luncheon In the\nWhite House In honor of sir ThomaB Lip-\nton, interesting statements were made concerning the cost of challenging for and defending the America's cup. Sir Thomas\ncaused much surprise when he said that\nif he should win the cup this time it would\nrepresent an Investment of considerably\nmore than 12,000,000. If he again failed to\nwin it, he said, ho had still more millions\nto spend on tho effort to lift It.\nSir Thomas said that It would cost him\na little more than 11,000,000 to compete for\n' tho cup this year. This was partly due\nhe explained, to the fact that he had\nbrought over his two challengers and had\nhod both of them In commission for\nmonths. Bach yacht had a crew of sixty\nmen, the best to be had, and tho cose\nof keeping them In commission a month\nrepesents a small fortune.\nSir Thomas did not say what Shamrock\nIII. cost him to build but Intimated that it\nwas cIobc to $500,000. To the cost of the new\nyacht must be added the cost of keeping\nthe other in commission and the expense\nof the Erin, In which her owner entertains\nIn lavish style. The combined expenses\nof his trial for the cup this year, sir\nThomas said, would reach $1,000,000 and\nprobably moro. His two previous attempts\nto get the cup cost him a little more than\nthat figure. In contrast with the cost of\ntho challenger, it wns stated by one of the\nmembers of the party that the Reliance\nsyndicate had Invested but $300,000 ln the\ndefender and that this amount was expected to cover all expenses.\nFollowing the question of tho cost there\nwas on itifqt-nial discussion as to tho advisability of adopting sea-going schooners\nIn future cup races. Sir Thomas strongly\nfavors this Idea, although he hns said that\nhe will abide by the decision of tho New\nYork Yacht club. It wns a sea-going\nschooner which brought the cup to this\ncountry.\nThe British ehnnged the stylo of tho contest In an effort to regnln the cup, by sending over a cutter to compete for it. Thnt\nstyle of yacht was new on this side of the\nwater and It was met with a sloop from\nwhich the present ninety-footers have been\nevolved. They are built for wind nnd not\nfor weather, nnd Reliance nnd Shamrock\nIII, ore believed to represent the very\nhighest degree of perfection In that direction. Llttte change, It Is snld, could be\nmado In building yachts along these lines\nfor future cup races.\nMore than that, the yachts aro so expensive that only millionaires can build\nthem and their value Is gone when the\nlast race of the series Is sailed. Everything\nIs sacrificed to speed nnd they cannot even\nbo rebuilt so that they can be used for\ncruising. Therefore, win or lose, sir Thomas\nLIpton considers that the time Is ripe for\nthe adoption of schooners which can brave\nnny sea and can cross the ocean under\ntheir own sail, Instead of having to bo\ntowed across.\nWith the Introduction of schooners It\nIs thought many wealthy people would\nbuild boats to compete for the honor or\ndefending or challenging for the cup, as\nthey could be subsequently used for ocean\ncruising. The races would then become\nmore a test of seamanship than they are\nnow, and air Thomas believes the Interest\nIn the contests would be greatly stimulated.\nThe distance could be increased and the\nraces could be sailed In any kind ot\nweather, for the rougher the weather the\nkeener would bo the sport.\nTHE LEAD BOUNTY.\nPublic Opinion Is Unanimous That Mining\nand Business Generally Will Benefit.\nNatifrnJly the dominion government's\nlead bounty of $15 a ton for the next five\nyears with a maximum bonus of $500,000\nIn any one year, as announced In these\ncolumns yesterday morning, has been the\nchief topic of conversation about the city\nfor the past tweny-four hours, as everyone\nIs directly or Indirectly Interested in tho\nmatter.\nA canvas of local mining and smelting\nmen showed an unanimous approval of\nthe action taken by tho federal government, while business men and others unite\nIn the opinion that the result of the bounty\nwill be greatly stimulating to business of\nall sorts and cannot fall to benefit the\ncommunity at large.\nSome of the points brought out in Interviewing Nelson residents showed that\nthe general opinion was that before acting the authorities had posted themselves\nvery thoroughly on the various aspects of\ntho lead Industry and while dealing generously by the producers, havo placed effective safeguards and conditions about tho\nbonus so as to Insure tho very best return from It to the mining Industry and\nthe community it so largely supports.\nWhen the bonus Idea was first mooted\nIt was strongly urged here that It would\nnot result in new capital coming into the\ndistrict, or In the older properties being\nplaced in a position to obtain funds for further mining and development, as there\nwould be no certainty as to how long the\nbonus would be granted for. The statement that the bounty will be paid for tho\nnext five years has turned those who first\nopposed the policy, around, and now they\nare quick to admit that their strongest\nobjection has disappeared under the terms\nannounced.\nMining men say that while some properties may be able to open up at once, the\nowners of others will first have to make\nnew financial arrangements before starting, but now that a definite arrangement\nhas been announced, they will be able to\naccomplish this where It was Impossible\nto do ho before the terms of the bounty\nwere known.\nAs one mining man put It, \"Those of us\nthat have the stuff will now be able either\nto get to work at once or to make arrangements to do so.\"\nIt will take a little time in many Instances as there are few Idle miners in the\ncountry at the present time and tabor every\nwhere throughout the district will be ln\nextra demand.\nIt Is generally conceded that the details\nof tho arrangement wjll work out smoothly\nand no clash between the mining, smelting\nand transportation Interests Is looked for.\nIt Is stated that a meeting of the lead mining association will be held very shortly\ncither In this city or at Sandon and a circular will be Issued to all engaged ln the\nsilver-lead Industry In this section of the\nKootenays dealing with the bounty question.\nWhile some of the low grade properties\nmay not open up\u2014at all events at present\n\u2014there can be no doubt ns to tho general\ngood offect of the bounty primarily on all\nsilver-lend properties, and incidentally, to\nthe business Interests of this community\nat large. The result will be to bring\nabout mnny long pending mining deals and\nto grcntly steady and stimulate the local\nfinancial situation.\nThe figures announced of 75 cents per\nhundred pounds or $15 per.ton, with a maximum of $500,000 in any one year mean that\nIn round numbers It will take 33,000 tons\nto exhaust the bounty in nny one year,\nor more than has ever yet boen produced\nin British Columbia In the best year on\nrecord, nnd supposing the price of London\nload to remain stationary at 111, It will\nmean a price of \u00a314 to the producer and\nthis according to his own statement should\nbe satisfactory to the mannger of the St.\nEugene, the largest lead mine in the province.\nA NEW NATIONAL HIGHWAY\nROAD AND   ROLLTNO STOCK    WILL\nCOST  $125,000,000.\nGOVERNMENT RETAINS  THB FULLEST MEASURE OF CONTROL.\nFurther particulars aro now to hand of\nthe dominion government's plans for the\nconstruction of tho Grand Trunk Pacific\nrailway:\nTho cost of tho transontlnental line will\nIt Is estimated, be about $100,000,000. Of\nthis sum the section to be built by the\ngovernment will involve an outlay of about\n1)5,000,000. The expenditure upon construction by the Grand Trunk will be about\n$55,000,000, and ln addition about $25,000,000\nwill be required for equipment and terminals. The total cost Is therefore likely\nto approximato $125,000,000.\nTho cost of the transcontinental line will\nlng the prairie section will bo at least\n$30,000 a mile. In the mountain section it\nwill approach $50,000 a mile. The roadbed\nand equipment will be of the most substantial, with 80-pound steel rails, massive\nbridges, and embankments and stone culverts. The company have spent probably\n$00,000 up to date In making surveys, and\nwill be In possession by the end of August most likely of detailed Information as\nto the character of the country between\nWinnipeg and North Bay. The company\nunderstand that the trunk line will run\ndirect to Winnipeg, and not north of lake\nWinnipeg, with a branch to the city as\nhas been suggested.\nTho country secures another transcontinental line without a dollar of outlay\nIn the form of cash or Ian dusbsldles. The\ndominant feature of the policy of state\nownership of a line from Winnipeg to\nQuebec and the maritime provinces Is that\nthe government will retain to themselves\ntho amplest power for all time to extend\nto all railways the right to use this railway, nnd on terms to be fixed by the government or the railway commission or\nother governmental machinery. While\ntherefore It is proposed to arrange with\ntho Grand Trunk to take the lease of the\ngovernment line to the extent of doing the\nlocal traffic and Its own through traffic and\nmaintaining the railway, still tho rights\nand powers to bo granted under the lease\nwill be subject to the paramount power of\nthe government at all times to maintain\nthe character of the railway as a national\nhighway open to all railways.\nThe numerous advantages of the proposed arrangement are obvious. Tho early\nconstruction of the undertaking Is assured.\nThe control Is given of Canadian traffic by\nan alt-Canadian route from ocean to ocean\nand Canadian maritime ports will bo built\nup. Canada wilt be freed from any dependence on the United States for bonding privileges, and will be rendered commercially Independent of that country.\nFrolght rates will be cheapened between\nthe new districts of Canada and the old.\nTho vnrious provinces may be expected\nto make railway connections with the\nmain trunk line by branch lines from St.\nJohn, MJontrenl, Osttawa, Toronto, and\nLake Superior points, thus serving all\nparts of tho older districts of Canada, and\naffording the widest facilities to eastern\nmerchants and manufacturers to ship to\nManitoba and points westerly. The now\nwest will be brought Into close union commercially and sentimentally with the cast.\nTho government line will also serve as a\ngreat colonization road through new Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. Furthermore, It will develop the great agricultural, forest and mineral resources of the\ncountry to be traversed.\nNO. 67\nStamp Mills the Chief Requisite at Poplar Creek\nKASLO, July 7.\u2014(Special to The Daily News.)\u2014M. Kerlin who has been so fortunate in locating\ngood mining claims on Poplar creek arrived here this morning for a supply of provisions. Mr. Kerlin is\nvery much elated over his good luck and shows some specimens of very rich appearing quartz from his\nground one hundred yards from the railway. Ho is having somme assays mado and will immediately return\nto the ereek to open up the ore bodies.\nHe says: \"We have found some of the best mining ground that I have met with in my experience in\nactual mine work and operating of over thirty years and you can rest assured that given a limited amount\nof capital, it won't take much, and a few stamps that the Poplar, Tenderfoot and Cascade camps are going to\nbo wealth producers far beyond the anticipation of the most sanguine.\n\"The trouble heretofore with those who havo been working in the district has not been the want of rich\nore but because they did not understand tho character of the oro met with. The silver and gold are both\npresent in incredible values and the beauty of it is that all the values can bo saved with stamp mills. The ore\nis freo'milling and of a character very similar to that of the famous Drum Lummon. The assays on our ore\nreported already are correct and I am testing the whole lead with hope of being able to begin shipping very\nsoon, as it is my opinion that all the lead will stand shipping and smelting charges with a good profit, but\nwhat we want is stamp mills. Nearly all those who have gone in lately are building camps and preparing\nfor active operations.\n\"Dan Cosgrove made a strike on a parallel lead to ours that shows gold to nearly every pan of crushed\nquartx, and two Swedes have three claims beyond Cosgrove from which they are taking ore from a voin\ntwelve inches wide that runs two thousand ounces in native silver and from which they pan gold. The ladies\nhave good claims and aro a great acquisition to Poplar creek camp.\"\nA number of men, among them P. Kelly, left here today on the steamer Hercules with supplies to begin\nactive work.    Trains are to be running on the Lardo branch Saturday next.\nLiberal Caucus Approves the Lead Bounty\nOTTAWA, July 1.\u2014(Special to The Daily News.)\u2014There was a largely attended caucus of the liberal\nparty at Ottawa today at which Mr. Archie Campbell presided. It was generally understood that the Grand\nTrunk Pacific project would come up for consideration, but as tho premier had an engagement and was not\nable to wait to have it discussed it was left over until Thursday next.\nThe proposition to give a $15 per ton bounty on lead went through without any opposition.\nA grant of $15,000 was also agreed to in response to the application of Canadian newspapers for a\nbettor cable service. The applicants will be required to put up a similar amount before the $15,000 is available, as Fielding told delegation he would put up dollar for dollar with them to the extent of $15,000.\nThe proposition to grant $500,000 to tho shareholders of tho Chignecto ship railway was discussed\nand there was very strong opposition to it. The matter was not finally disposed of. The discussion was favorable to the granting of somo assistance to the iron and steel industry and will bo given on lines already\nexpressed in this correspondence.\nSenator Templcman said yesterday that in giving a bounty of $500,000 per year for five years,\n$2,500,000 in all, to aid the lead mining and smelting industry of British Columbia, the present act giving a bounty for refining of lead would be repealed. The bounty for refining last year was $5 per ton.\nThis year it will be $4, decreasing thereafter one dollar per year.\nThe refinery at Trail generously waived its claim to the bounty in order that tho bounty of $15 could\nbe secured for mining and smelting, being ready to take its chances of securing all the bullion it could refino\nafter the industry of mining and smelting was again established on a permanent  basis.   The   proposed |\nbounty should place the lend-ind-natry on prosperous footing during tl\\e j\u00bb\u00bb\u00ab\u00abent\"7tmi mill Will make good ;\ntimes in Kootenny for n good many years to come.\nFIRED IN  SELF DEFENSE\nEXPLANATION OF THB SHOOTING AT\nEVANSVILLB.\nSIX  DEAD  AND  TWENTY-FIVE ARE\nSERIOUSLY INJURED.\nCincinnati, Ohio, July 7.\u2014A despatch\nfrom Evansville, Ind., says:\nCaptain Blum, of company \"E,\" mado\nthe following statement of the shooting:\n\"The mob crowding up at the corner of\nFourth and Division streets forced the\nguards back to the jail gate and would not\nbo beaten back. A man in the lead fired\na shot which struck a soldier. Then the\nfiring became general from the mob and\ntho soldiers fired In return. Orders to\ncease firing were given the soldiers almost\nat once, ns tho crowd turned In flight. No\norder to fire was given by myself or an\nofficer, It was done spontaneously and In\nself defense. The mob had been repeatedly\nbegged to go back. Boulders and bricks\nwere thrown long before the firing commenced and one soldier was knocked un-\nconslcous. The men were given orders to\nfire only In self defense Officers and soldiers greatly deplore the shooting but they\nfeel they acted only in the line of their\nduty.\"\nSix shot dead and twenty-five Injured,\nfour fatally, is the outcome of the race\nriots that have caused a reign of terror In\nthis city during the past four days. At\n10.30 last night the Evansvllte company of\nnational guards, assisted by 200 special\ndeputy sheriffs sworn In during the day,\nwhile guarding the county jail ln which\nwere sixteen negro prisoners, poured a\ndeadly volley of buckshot and bullets into\na crowd of several thousand peoplo led by\na hundred armed rioters, which was pressing them back amid jeers and threats, accompanied by stones nnd missies. When1\nthe smoke cleared away thirty-one wounded and dead lay on the pavements.\nTHE HUNTER V.\nTho New Company That Will Steadily\nDevelop This Promising Property.\nThe first meeting of the British Columbia\nStandard Mining company will be held on\nFriday afternoon next at the office of S.\nS. Fowler, In this city, for the purpose of\nelecting officers and transacting other Important business.\nThis company has been formed for the\npurpose of acqulrng and working the properties of the Standard Development syndicate, including the well known Hunter\nV. mine The provisional directors of the\nnew company are J. Lalng Stocks, J. J:\nCampbell, J. Johnstone, J. Carmlchael,\nand W. Davis. Other local mining men\nwho are largely Interested In the company\nare S. S. Fowler, A. H. Gracey and R.\nHedley. The Hunter V. which tho new\ncompany will develop on a large scale Is a\nproperty that has been coming rapldy to\ntho front of late and by next season wilt\nprobably bo one of tho large shipping\nmines of this section of the Kootenays.\nLast winter a shipment of 400 tons of ore\nwas sent to tho smelter on which good returns wero received. Since then the fnlrly\nlarge force of men employed on the property has been kept steadflv at development work, with most gratifying results.\nThe work carried on this summer has\nconsisted chiefly of a series of open cuts\nto trace the ledge into other parts of the\ngroup besides that on which the original\nshafts had been sunk. This has resulted\nIn showing that ore of the same character\nas that originally found exists ln paying\nquantities all across the property, tho\nassays on ore brought In on Monday running from 100 to 160 ounces of stiver to the\nton, this being taken from a number ot\nopen cuts.\nTho property Is situated about three\nmiles south east of the Nelson & Fort\nSheppard railway, on the divide between\nHidden and Porcupine creeks. As a mining property it differs considerably from\nany other in the district, being described\nas an Immense deposit of limestone in\nwhich high silver values are found, the\nnative silver being in large flakes easily\nperceptible to the naked eye. It Is probable that the new company will build a\ntramway from the mine to the railway,\nwhich will make possible the handling of\nthe oro on a very economical scale. The\nore at present mined averages $16 per\nton. Owing to the character of the ore very\ngood terms have been secured from the\nsmelter the average cost of treatment being about $4 per ton.\nFISHERMEN'S DEMANDS.\nFraser River Canners Will Not Pay Price\nFor Salmon Asked For.\nNew Westminster, July 7.\u2014The run ot\nsalmon has not yet commenced on the\nFraser river so that the canners are not\npaying any attention to statements by the\nfishermen's union that the men will not\nfish unless they aro conceded their demands\nThe Japanese held a meeting on Sunday\nand today notified the canners that they\nwould not fish unions paid 1C cents during\nJuly and 15 cents during August per fish.\nThe canners have refused the demands nnd\nstate that they will not pay more than\ntho original offer, namely, IB cents for July\nnnd 14 for August. The canners state that\nwhen the run commences they expect to\nhave plenty of men.\nTHE PALM A TROPHY.\nThe Contest Takes PJoeo on Saturday-\nPersonnel of the U. S.

What are they plotting?\"\nDr. Lapponi re-entering the room said:\n\"We were preparing bulletins regarding\ntho operation, saying' it was successful ln\nall respects.\"\n\"Well. Well,\" replied his holiness, \"I\nwish to see myself these bulletins ln their\nexact text.\"\nHa then went on speaking about the\ncauses of his Illness. \"I would like to\nknow\" be said, \"from what It comes. I\nthink I havo always followed Dr. Lapponl's\nadvice.\"\n\"Not always, your holiness,\" replied Dr.\nLapponi   gently.\n\"Well,\" retorted popo Leo, \"you could\nnot expect to remedy my old age.\"\nAfter a short silence the pope turning to\nDr. Mnzzonl sold:\n\"In the last consistory I appointed as a\ncardinal a fellow-citizen of yours, cardinal\nLallnnl. who comes from the Manches. Do\nyou know him?\"\n\"Yes, your holiness, I know him. I hope\nthat that will not be your last consistory.\"\n\"I am afraid so,\" sighed the pope sadly.\nAfter which his head fell upon the pillow\nas though extremely tired, being again the\nprey of exhaustion. The happy, and cheerful expressions of tho pontiff at the moment when he was In the very shadow of\ndeath astonished tho doctors.\nThe pope himself seems to glory in his\nability to present a calm and bright demeanor.\nmarking: time.\nRoblin Government In No Hurry to Rush\nCharge Against Editor Dafoo.\n[Special  to Tho Dally News.]\nWinnipeg,   July   7.-The    criminal    libel\ncase against J.

What has arisen to disillusion\nthe Miner i'8 do not know, but It has\ncome to the conclusion that the present\nleaders of the conservative party are not\nlikely to do the great things It predicted\nof them quite recently.\nTho Miner now seeks to encourage the\norganization of an Independent party which\nwill work for the rights of the common\npeople\u2014particularly the prospector, the free\nminer, and the business man. The Miner's\ncategory of the common peoplo Is too circumscribed. Why docs It not include the\nfarmer, tho lumberman, the fisherman,\nand tho hardworking professional man?\nBut why start a new party to look after\ntho interests of tho common people? If\nliberalism stands for anything It stands\nfor the advocacy of popular rights. This\nhns been the guiding principle of liberalism\nIn all ages and ln all countries. In Canada\nthe history of tho liberal party is a story\nof persistent and consistent effort ln the\ndirection of securing to the peoplo control\nof public affairs. The memorable fight\nwaged by tho liberal party against the conservative oligarchy In pro-confederation\ndays must be familiar to every school boy.\nIn later days, ana'unacr ohnnsa^ conditions secured by the adoption of liberal\nprinciples of government, the work of the\nparty was necessarily less strenuous, but\nit was continued along similar lines, the\nobject being always to secure the greatest\nmeasure of popular control of all branches\nof tho administration. Since the liberal\nparty came Into power In 1896, the principles advocated In opposition have stead*\nily been kept to tho front and as opportunity has permitted reforms have been\nInstituted calculated to secure to the masses those rights which the liberal party\nhavo always contended 'for.\n'When the liberals took office they suc-\nescded to a conservative administration\nthat had controlled tho administration for\neighteen years. They were therefore confronted by condltons that could not be\nradically changed off-hand without causing grave economic and social disturbances.\nBut carefully and persistently reforms\nhave been Introduced and slowly but surely a healthier condition of affairs Is being\nbrought about ln the dominion. Of course\nthere are those who would liko to have\nseen the liberal government proceed with\nless caution, would havo welcomed the immediate putting Into effect of certain reforms and new methods of administration.\nIt Is questionable though If Canada would\nhavo enjoyed the long period of prosperity\nIt has experienced since 1896 if the government had pursued that kind of a policy.\nReforms have ben Introduced quietly and\nwith tho utmost discretion so that the\nsmooth working of governmental machinery has not been Interfered with and\nat the samo time great advantages havo\nbeen secured to the peoplo.\nIn almost every department of government it is poslblo to point to reforms ot\nvery great moment, all of which have been\nworked out gradually and without flourish of trumpets.\nIn the postofflco department wo havo\nsoon the abolition of tho sweating system,\ntho reduction of tho letter rate, and an\nImprovement In the still inadequate remuneration of the postodlco employees.\nIn tho department of public works we\nhave scon tho Introduction of tho principle of the standard wage, a reform In\nItself of very great and far reaching Importance. In tho department of railways\nwo havo seen business methods applied\nto tho operation of tho Intercolonial railway, so that notwithstanding reduction\nIn freight rates and increase In the pay of\nemployees that undertaking Is now on\na paying bnsls. Wo have Just had a further example of progress in tho determination of tho government to undertake tho\nconstruction of an Important section of tho\nnew transcontinental railway from Monckton to Winnipeg and we further know\nthat to ensure to the people protection from\nexorbitant freight rates tho government\nhas created a railway commission with\nlargo powers.\nThe reforms In tho department of the Interior have been ho numerous nnd so bonc-\nflclal  Hint there Is no need to enumerate\nJA \/urns (U-n\/h <ii*h\/<l*<s 'hw&iCtva* c jt> c\/mu\nthorn, but the liberal methods adopted in\nthe disposal to bona fido settlers of dominion homesteads and timber privileges\nIndicate tho policy that has prevailed.\nTho fiscal reforms affected by the minister of finance are eloquently testified to\nby the improved trade conditions and tho\ncloser ties now binding Canada to the\nmother land.\nIt would be an easy matter to extend this\nlist of things done indefinitely, hut sufficient has been said to justify the contention that there is no need for the Rossland\nMiner to look beyond the liberal party\nwhen It wants to assist in establishing\nln office ln this province a government\nthat will work for the Interests of tho common people, The Miner probably overlooks the fact that the liberal party in\nthis province lias never had control of the\nadministration. In tho legislature just\ndissolved tho conservatives predominated\nin the proportion of 22 to 16. In the Semlln\nadministration liberals were more numerously represented on the government\nbenches and a very distinct ndvancc was\nmade In tho direction of popular legislation.\nGranted n strong liberal government, tho\nRossland Miner will find that those rights\nof tho common pooplo which today cause\nIt so much axiety will bo fairly and fully\nconserved. This Is not meant to Imply thnt\nthe liberal party Is perfect, that it has\nmado no mistakes in tho past, or that\nthere are no sinners in Its ranks. The liberal party is just as liable to err and Is\nquite as llkey to havo within its midst men\nwho are corrupt as Is the conservative\nparty. The liberal party however, here,\nas elsewhere, stands for popular government, whilst the conservative party stands\nfor government by the few for the benefit\nof the few.\nThe Rossland Miner can best serve the\ncause it professes to havo at heart by assisting ln the return of liberal candidates\nIn every constituency ln southern Kootenay\nThe conditions attaching   to   the   lead\nbounty aro admittedly framed In the best\nIntnrcHtu   of   the mining   Industry.    While*\ndealing generously with the lead producers of British Columbia the government\nhas endeavored to encourage Canadian\nsmelting Interests and at the same time\nprovide adequate machinery to protect the\nmine owners from the possible greed of\nolther smelters or transportation companies. It is to be hoped that mining will now\nbe prosecuted with even greater vigor than\nwas tho agitation to securo tho relief\ngranted,,\nTO  SUPPLANT COAL.\nValuable Fuel Properties of tho Eucalyptus Tree.\nAll trees and plants are storers of the\nsun's energy' but all do not possess this\nproperty in an equal dogree. The eucalyp^\ntus appears to have it in greater measure\nthan other trees, as was first noted In 1882\nby D. E. Hutchlns, of Cape Colony, and\nsir A. Brandls. Mr. Hutchlns has been\nagain directing attention ln Nature to\nthis feature of the tree, which he believes\nwill make It moro valuable as a fuel than\ncoal.\nAccording to Mr. Hutchlns, a eucalypt\nplantation in tropical mountains, such as\nIn South Africa, under favorable circumstances, stores up about one per cent of\ntho solar energy received on the unit of\narea, and it is considered much cheaper\nIn some parts of Cape Colony to plow up\nthe land and plant a forest of quick-growing trees than to import coal.\nIn 1882 Mr. Hutchlns and sir A. Brandis,\nas result of their experiments, discovered\nthat eucalypts planted on tropical mountains produce fuel at the rate of 20 tons\u2014\ndryweight at 60 pounds per cubic foot\u2014\nper acre per year tn perpetuity. The\neucalypt plantation reproduces itself when\ncut without further expense, and Its dry\ntlmebr, heavier than coal, has an equal\nor a higher thermal power, bulk for bulk,\nthan coal. This result was obtained as a\nmeasurement of the maximum yield of\neucalyptus globulus on the Nilglrls, southern India. If a chance tree on a chance\nmountain ln a chance soli can produce tho\nequivalent of 20 tons of coal por aero per\nyear, It seems not unreasonable to suppose, Mr. Hutchlns suggests, that by selection double this or 40 tons, can be produced. A powerful sun, a heavy rainfall,\nand a very rapid forced growth are the\nessentials of such a production of wood\nfuel. A glance over the rainfall map of\nthe world shows these conditions are fulfilled over about 8,000,000,000 acres of its\nsurface, which is between one-fourth nnd\none-fifth of the total land surface of 35,-\n200,000,000 acres. One-half of this area under forest might thus yield the equivalent\nof 1GO,000,000,000 tons of coal yearly, which\nIs more than 288 times tho world's present\nconsumption of coal, assuming that conl\nand eucalypt timber aro of approximately\nequal heating power. On this basis of the\nactual forest yield of tho present day, wo\nhave half of this, or the equivalent of\n80,500,000,000 tons. In Germany, one-fourth\nof the total area Is under forest, and taking tho German standard of one-fourth forest, on the basis of the present maximum\nyield we should obtain 40,250,000,000 tons;\nwhile If the maximum forest yield bo converted to an average forest yield there\nwould still romnln a yearly product of 20,-\n175,000,000 tons, which Is rathor moro than\nthirty times the world's present consumption of coal. Thus It Is seen that the yield\nof firewood from tho world's tropical and\nextra-tropical forests, whorovor they are\nfully stocked nnd scientifically worked,\nwill yield the equivalent of from 30 to 122\ntimes the present consumption of coal, or\nI\n'Let the GOLD OUST twins do your work\n3\neven up to 243 times tho present consumption, if by cultivation tho present timber\nyield can bo doubled, as It might bo without difficulty.\nHIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.\n(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.)\nIn the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 18S9, the editor of this paper was\namong the many seekers after fortune\nwho made the big race ono fine April day.\nDuring his traveling about and afterwards\nhis camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which together with\nthe severe heat, gave him a very severe\ndiarrhoea which It seemed almost Impossible to check, and along ln June the cose\nbecame so bad he expected to die. One day\none of his neighbors brought him one\nsmall bottlo of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope.\nA big dose was given to him while he was\nrolling about on the ground In great agony\nand In a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medicine was\nsoon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for\na fortnight.

That the silver-lead Industries of the\nprovince bo fostered and encouraged by\nthe imposition of increased customs duties on lead and lead products imported into Canada, and that the Conservative members of the Dominion House be urged to\nsupport any motion introduced for such a\npurpose.\n10. That ns industrial disputes almost\nInvariably result in great loss and Injury\nboth to the parties directly concerned and\nto the public, legislation should be passed\nto provide means for an amicable adjustment of such disputes between employers\nand employees.\n11. That It Is advisable to foster the manufacture of the raw products of the province within the province as far as practicable by means of taxation on the said\nraw products, subject to rebate of the\nsame in whole or part when manufactured\nIn British Columbia.\nCONSERVATIVE CONVENTIONS\nAt a meeting of the executive of the\nProvincial Conservative Association, held\nat Vancouver, tho province was divided\ninto five divisions for organization purposes.

This high ofllcial at once takes\ncharge of tho vatlcan nnd then proceeds\nto verify tho decease of the popo. Going\nwith various prelates and other ecclesiastical dignitaries to the doatli chamber, he\ntaps the brow of tbe deceased pontiff threo\ntimes with a small silver hammer, and\nthrice calls 4ilm by his Christian name.\nReceiving no reply, he turns to those present and announces, \"The pope is indeed\ndead!\" Ho then takes possession of the\ntlsherman'a ring, which hns been removed\nfrom tho pope's linger, and subsequently\nbreaks It in the presence of his fellow cardinals, at tho first meeting of the sacred\ncollege\nThe next days are occupied in the funeral ceremonial, which are of the most\neiaborato nnd (\"lately character, and last\nabout a week. Tho body of the deceased\npontiff lies In state in St. Peter's, where\nvast multitudes nssemble to take a Inst\nlook nt the face of the father of Christendom,\nThe actual entombment takes place nt\nnight on the third or fourth day, nnd It\naffords one of the most Impressive scenes\nthat can be Imagined, The church is\nclosed and is only lighted by the torches\ncarried in tho procession, as the body Is\nhorno from tho chapel of tho blessed sacrament past the high altnr ot the chapel of\nthe canons, where It Is deposited In a coflln\nof cypress wood, which Is enclosed In lead\nand finally placed in a casket of oak or\nchestnut. In tho inner coffin are laid\npurses containing coins struck In various\nyears of tho lato popo's reign, and n brief\nhistory of his chief acts inscribed on parchment and enclosed in a metal tube. Tho inner coffins nro sealed by tho cnmerlengo\nnnd other high officials.\nThe tomb Is situated ln a niche ln the\nwall ovor a door on the left-hand side of\nthe chapel. Hero the body reposes until the\ntomb to bo erected to tho pope's memory\nby the cardinals whom ho created is ready\nto receive It If It happens that at the\ndeath of tho pope tho coffin of his predecessor Is still In this provisional tomb, it\nIs removed to the crypt under the church.\nIn the meantime tho vatlcan Is being\nprepared for the ossombly of tho conclave\nwhich Is to elect tho new pope, All the\ncardinals are summoned to attend, and tho\nrule for six hundred years hns been to\ncommence tho work of election on the\ntenth day after tho death. This worked\nwell enough when all tho cardinals wore\nresident in Europe; but now that members\nof the sacred college nre scattered throughout tho world, It is obviously impossible\nfor them all to arrive in time, and Plus\nIX. authorized the conclave to commence\nwork as soon us two-thrds of Its members\nwere asembied, without waiting for the\nrest. As Leo XIII. was camerlongo at the\ntimo, und took a leading part ln drawing\nup these rules, It.mny be assumed that in\ntho new laws that he bus laid down for\nthe conclave this principle has boon maintained. Many of the ancient rules have\nbeen modified, as a result of the changed\nposition of affairs created by tho loss ot\ntho temporal power.\nTho 'conclave Is now held In tho Vatican\nthough tho cardinals arc empowered to\nassemble elsewhere If they think fit Several large suites of apartments are allotted\nfor the accommodation of the cardinals\nand their attendants, who, together with\na largo staff of conclavists, or officials employed In various ways, are shut in by a\ndoor which bears four locks; two on the Inside, tho keys of which nro kept by the\ncardinal camerlongo, and two on the outside, which are controlled by the marshal,\nprince Cbigi.\nTho rooms are divided by temporary partitions Into cells for tho cardinals, each\ncell having an outer apartment, which\nIs occupied by a chaplain or other attendant. When it Is remembered that a large\nnumber of persons aro thus enclosed\u2014In\n1878 there wero nearly two hundred and\nfifty\u2014It will be apparent that the task ot\nhousing them all is no light one.\nIn addition to the chaplain and personal\nattendant that each cardinal brings with\nhim, there arc a sacristan with 6 sub sacristans; a secretary with two assistants; a\nprefect nnd five masters of ceremonies;\ntwo physicians and a dispenser; several\nbarbers; a number of cooks and domestic\nservants; and a few mnsons, carpenters\nand plumbers, In case of any repairs being\nurgently needed.\nOn tho day for opening the conclave, a\nmass of the Holy Ghost Is sung in St.\nPeter's, a sermon preached, and the cardinals enter the Vatican In solemn procession. Tho Vent Creator Is sung, and they\nthen lake tho oath to observe the apostolic\nconstitutions, after wlUJoh rthey go tjo\ntheir cells, which aro assigned to them by5\nlot. All tho -other conclavists then take\nonth not to meddle ln the election nor reveal any secrets that may come to their\nknowledge.\nLater In tho evening the bell rings, and\ntho order, \"Extra omnes!\"\u2014\"all outsldo!\"\n\u2014Is given, nfter which the door Is locked\nby the camerlengo from within and the\nmnrshall from without. The camerlengo\nnnd three other cardinals then mako a\ntour of Inspection throughout the building\nto seo that everything Is In order nnd tliat\nno strangers are present,\nThe door of the conclave Is that of the\nSala Regla, at tho top of the marshal's\nstaircase. All other doors giving access to\nthat pnrt of tho Vatican have been previous\nly walled up. Beside this door are four\nturns, similar to those sometimes seen ln\nthe walls of kitchens, through which correspondence and food aro passed. One of\nthese turns Is closely guarded by bishops,\nanother by prothonotarles, the rcmnlnlng\ntwo being In charge of prelates of the papal\ntribunals.\nThe cnrdlnnls nre at liberty to receive\nletters on personal or family matters, but\nnot communications bearing upon tho election. To ensure tho observance of this rule\nnil correspondence passing through the\nturns, either from within or without, is\nread by the guardians, unless It Is marked\n\"private,\" In wheh case Jt goes direct to\nthe secretary of the conclave, and Is read\nby the chiefs of orders\u2014certain cardinals\nwho are responsible for the direction of\neach day's business\u2014who, If they think\nfit, may read It to the whole college.\nNewspapers and books are admitted without restriction, and a cardinal may go to\nthe turn to speak to anyone, but only In\nthe presence of its guardianB.\nShould a cardinal arrive after the conclave has assembled, he has the right of\nadmission, and the marshall without communicates with the camerlengo within,\nand arranges a convenient time for the\ndoor to be unlocked. The new arrival Is\nmet by the whole college who have assembled ln the royal hall to welcome him,\nand advantage Is taken of the open door\nto admit fresh conclavists and any articles\nthat may be needed, as well as to pass out\nanyone who through 111 health or other\nreasons finds it necessary to leave tho conclave.\nThe door can also be opened to allow a\nsick cardinal to pass out, but he Is not\nallowed to re-enter. Owing to the age and\ninfirmities of many members of the sacred\ncollege, it Is not uncommon for some of\nthem to bo taken HI, especially ln the case\nof a protracted conclave In the unhealthy\nmonths of the summer, when malaria is\napt to be prevalent In Rome. Occasionally\ncardinals have died In the conclave.\nThe day's routine Is almost monastic In\nIts regularity. The first day of the con-\nclavo begins with the community mass at\neight o'clock, ln the Pauline chapet. This\nmnss Is celebrated by the dean or senior\ncardinal, and at It all the members of the\nsacred college communicate. Afterwards\nthey return to their cells to take the morning collation.\nOn all other days, each cardinal says\nmuss In his cell at whatever time suits\nhim best, but all who are not unwell assist also at the community mass, which is\nsaid every morning by the bishop-sacristan.\nAt Its close all proceed to the hall of election, where the morning voting takeB place,\nAbout noon, all return to their cells,\nwhere dinner Is served separately to each,\nand the short siesta, common in southern\ncountries, follows. After this those who\nfeel disposed to take exercise In the corridors or pay visits to each other's cells,\nuntil three or four o'clock, when all assemble for the afternoon scrutiny. This is\nfollowed by transaction of miscellaneous\nbusiness of the conclave by the various\nofficials, and If anything very Important\narises a meeting of the college may be held\nto discuss It Towards nine or ten o'clock\nsupper is Berved after which the bell\nrings, and the order, \"In cellam, domini\"\u2014\n\"In your cells, my lords\"\u2014gives the signal\nfor retiring. But a good deal of visiting\nfrom cell to cell goes on, nnd the conclavists\u2014 who nre not always ns discreet\nns their masters\u2014wander freoly about the\ncorridors, discussing the affairs of the day.\nIf a cardinal wishes to be alone, his servant places at the door of the cell two\nbars of wood, somewhat like a St. Andrew's oroai, as a signal that his eminence Is not visible,\nTho voting takes place in the Slxtlne\nchapel, which Is entered from the royal\nhall, which In Its marvellous mural decorations is only next in beauty to the chapel,\nto whih it serves as nn ante-chamber.\nRanged around the. chapel are the thrones\nof the cardinals, each surmounted by a\ncanopy In token of tho Joint sovereignty of\nthe members of the sacred college during\nthe vncancy of the Apostolic See. The\ndean, or senior cardinal, occupies the first\nthrone on the gospel or north side of the\naltnr, and after him In order of senorlty,\ncome tbe cardinal bishops, priests nnd\ndeacons, the junior cardinal dencon sitting\non the trone nearest the altar on the\nEpistle or south Bide.\nBefore each throne Is a small table, supplied with writing materials, while ln the\nmiddle of the chapel are six other tables,\nprovided for the use of any cardinals who\nmay be afraid of being overlooked by their\nneighbors while filling In the voting papers.\nAll tho tables are provided with sealing\nwax' and tapers for use ln closing the\npapers ln the manner to bo described.\nThere are three methods by which a pope\nmay be elected\u2014those of acclamation, compromise, and scrutiny. In the first case,\nall the cardinals leave their thrones to do\nhomage to one of their number, who\u2014subject to his own consent\u2014thereby becomes\npope. Here there is absolute unanimity,\nbut no Instance of election by acclamation\nhas occurred for about three hundred\nyears.\nThe method of compromise is only adopted ln the case of an extremely protracted\nelection, when these seems no prospect of\na two-thirds majority agreeing upon any\none candidate. Tho cardinals then appoint\na small committee to settle the matter and\npledge themselves to accept its decision.\nThe usual method Is that of scrutiny, or\nballot. The rules are that every cardinal\npresent must vote, no one can vote for\nhimself, a two-thirds majority Is necessary for an election, and tho voting must\nbe absolutely secret\nIt is to secure the Inst of these conditions\nthat a very Ingenious voting paper haB\nbeen adopted. It is divided into three compartments, in the first of which tho cardinal writes his own name, in tho second\nthat of the candidate for whom he votos,\nand in the third a motto and number.\nThe first and third' compartments are\nthen folded twice and sealed down at both\nsides, so that only the middle compartment\ncan bo seen by tho scrutineers. The back\nof the voting paper, behind tho spaces for\nthe name and motto of the voter, Is covered with fancy printing that the writing\nmay not show through.\nAlthough the Instructions for filling In,\nfolding and sealing these voting papers\nare most clear and precise, a surprising\nnumber of mistakes sometime occur. At\nthe conclavo that elected Leo XIII. sov-\nernl papers In tho first scrutiny were rejected because Improperly scaled; In tho\nsecond scrutiny one of them was utterly\nillegible; and in the third one of the electors was found to havo voted for cardinal\nNobody!\nAt each assembly of the conclave, throe\ncardinals aro elected ns scrutineers, and\nthree infirmnrlans. The duty of tho latter\nIs to take tho votes of any of the cnrdlnnls who may bo confined to their cells\nthrough sickness.\nIn voting, the electors In order of seniority go to the altar, where each kneels for\na few moments in private prayer. He\nthen rises and holds his voting paper over\na lnrge chalice which stands on tho altar,\nand audibly tnkes oath that he Is voting\nfor the man he sincerely believes to be the\nmost suitable; after which he places the\npaper on the paten and lets It slide into\ntho chalice.\nThe next business Is to count the votes.\nThe chalice is shaken to mix the papers,\nwhich are then counted into a second chalice, in order to see if they correspond In\nnumber with the cardinals present. If they\ndo not, they are burnt, and a fresh vote\ntaken.\nEach voting paper Is taken from the\nchalice by tho first scrutineer, who looks\nat the name voted for and hands the paper\nto the second scrutineer, who, after looking at it, gives It to the third, who reads\nthe name aloud. All the cardnals then\nmake a mark against that name on their\nlists.\nWhen all tho votes have boon read out,\nthe papers are pierced and threaded on a\nstring. If no ono has obtained tho necessary two-thirds majority, a second vote Is\ntaken, which is known as that of accession.\nThis is done In order that, if any enndidate\nhas received a large number of votes, any\ncardinal who may please may transfer\ntheir votes to him, and bo bring about an\nelection without further delay. No one can\nvote again for the same person, but each\nIs obliged to hand In a voting paper,\nthough he need not insert anyone's name in\nit\nThe votes thus acceded nre now added to\nthose previously given, and if no candidate has secured the necessary majority,\nthe papers are mixed with somo damp\nstraw nnd burnt in a small stove, placed\nin the chapel for this purpose. The appearance of smoko from the flue Is the signal to the people outside that the pope is\nnot yet elected.\nWhen either by scrutiny or accession, It\nappears that someone hns received a two-\nthirds majority of tho votes, the papers\nare re-counted, and n various ways examined to see that everything is In order.\nShould the majority be exactly two-thirds\nof the total votes recorded, the papers are\nopened and the names of those voting in\nthe majority examined, ln order to mako\nsure that tho elected cardinal did not voto\nfor himself.\nIf atl is proved correct, three cardinals\nare chosen by lot to act as revisers, and\nthese re-count nnd check tho voting papers.\nWhen thoy certify thnt the pope Is elected\nthe papers are burnt, but without any\ndamp straw.\nThe secretary of the conclave and the\nmaster of ceremonies are now summoned,\nnnd the dean proceeds with them to tho\nthrone of tho newly-elected pope, and asks\nIf ho Is willing to accept the ofllce. Should\nhe consent the canopies over'all the thrones\nbut his own are at once lowered, in token\nthat the temporary joint sovereignty of\ntho sacred college is at nn end.\nTho new pope now proceeds to the altar\nnnd, nfter spending a short time In prayer,\nis conducted to a vestry, where ho assumes the usual papnl dress, after which\nhe returns to the altar nnd receives the\nhomage of the cardinals.   This is some\ntimes known as the \"adoration,\" and the\nabsurd notion has gone abroad that divine\nworship Is paid to the pope. It need hardly\nbe added that this Is utterly untrue.\nLater, the election Is announced from\ntho balcony of St. Peter's by the senior\ncardinal deacon, and the new pope's first\npublic act Is to give the apostolic benediction to tho city and the world from tho\nloggia of tho cathedral.\nF. a GREEN.
