Are Willing to Grant Certain Important Concessions\nCHICAGO, Aug. 11\u2014Efforts to bring\nabout a peaceful settlement of the dispute between the street car companies\nof this city and the employees were resumed today.   While no definite action\nwas expected to result from two conferences scheduled to be held In the af-\nN  terooon, yet It waa hoped by both sides\nthat the negotiations would clear away\nmany obstacles which thus far have\nblocked the way to a solution of the\nproblem. Union officials were still firm\nin their demands for modification of\nthe wage schedule proposed by the traction officials to include in the maximum\n\u2022scale of 30 cents an hour men who had\nbeen with the company ten years instead of only those of 15 years' experience.

AUG.  HEINZE\nINTERESTING  STORY   IS  TOLD  OF\nTANGLED  FINANCE\nNEW YORK, Aug. 11\u2014With a second\ncharge lodged against him, Dona.d L.\nPersch, the young note broker, who\nwas arrested charged with the larceny\nof copper stocks belonging to F Aug.\nHeinze, Is still a prisoner tonight and\nwhile there were no additional arrests\ntoday, the district attorney's office has\nascertained that he was not alone in the\ntransactions. The case will bo placed\nbefore the grand Jury tomorrow and the\nevidence at hand, it is said, will reveal\na systematic scheme worked, not only\nin this city, but in Philadelphia and Boa-\nton with stocks supposed to be tucked\nsafely in the vaults of banks, but which\nhave In reality been relinquished to individuals who placed them on the market at a profit.\nThough Mr. Heinze, according to Wal\u00bb\nStreet analysis of the affair, was at\nfirst thought to be the particular victim\nIt came out through the district attorney's office that other men have suffered likewise. One man at least was\nthus nipped. He is J. M. Everett nf\nBoston whose New York broker, W.\nMllliken, made the additional charge\nagainst young Persch today.

The stock In question was\n100,000 shores of the Red Pine Oil com-\npany and the name of Henry RIsborough\nof Philadelphia appears as the man who\nfurnished the money. Coincident with\none of Mr. Dlsborough's references was\nCharles Katz, the Brooklyn brewer, who\nhas been mentioned In the Heinze loan\ncase. The method in ihe Everett case,\naccording to the charge made today,\nwns similar to thnt through which the\nHeinze copper stocks were put on the\ncprb. that Is the stocks were hypothecated after having been put up as security,\nCarlos Warfleld, vice-president of the\nHeinze Copper company, Is also said to\nhave lost considerable money throneh\nthe same stock shifting games. Witness after witness was questioned at\nthe district attorneys' ofifice today, and\nfurther developments are expected tomorrow. The \"men higher up\" whom\nPersch asserted were Involved with him\nbave not as yet been definitely pinned\ndown. The young broker tried hard to\nobtain his release through habeas corpus proceedings today but after argu-\nment In the supreme court decision was\nreserved and with his hail still standing\nat $50,000 he was forced to go back to\nthe Tombs.\nOn the basis of the checks signed hy\nPersch, which were unearthed lodav.\nthe district attorney's office estlmntcd\nthat the profits from the sale of Helnzo\nstock was approximately $5,000. One\nindictment at least will be returned by\nthe grand jury according to assistant\ndistrict attorney Nott, but he Intimated\nthat there was a genius behind the\nwhole affair, although he would not say\nwho the man was.\nCRETAN  DIFFICULTY\nTurkey Is More or Less Satisfied With\nGreek Reply\nCONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 11\u2014After\na cabinet council held today the grand\nvizier.

The buildings burned included\nhotels, stores and residences. Tiie fire\nwas under control this afternoon after\ndynamite was  used.\nThree hotels, tilled with summer\nguests, mainly from New York city,\nwere destroyed. They were the Howell house, the largest hotel in tlie\ncounty; the Palatine hotel and the\nBolslum house. All the guests escaped\nwith most of their personal effects.\nThe Montlcello house was not burned.\nThe Union National bank, both newspaper offices, and every store but one\nin the town were destroyed.\nEarly this morning, when it was seen\nthat the business section was doomed,\nthe firemen began to use dynamite to\nblow up the buildings by which the\nfire was likely to spread to the residential district. By this means all the\nresidences except two of the better\nclass of houses were saved.\nMontlcello Is a village of less than\n2000 residents, but during the summer,\nwhen thousands rush to this place as\na summer resort, all the boarding\nhouses are filled to overflowing. When\nthe fire began in the electric Btatlon\nin the rear of the Palatine hotel, on\nMain street, a high wind fanned the\nflames and the three Montlcello fire\ncompanies were unable to check the\nprogress. Assistance was summoned\nfrom Port Jervls and Liberty, and the\nsummer boarders, not only In Montlcello but from nearby villages In all\ndirections, rushed to the help of the\nfiremen and formed a volunteer fire\ndepartment It was 2 a. m. when the\nfire had raged for six hours, that all\nhope of saving any of the business\nsection was abandoned, and an attempt\nwas made to save the remainder of\ntlie town. The summer guests were\nhoused in scores of the boarding\nhouses, of which the town Is chiefly\ncomposed in summer.\nNew  York Stock  Market\nNew York, Aug.

It\nhas been presented with a brand new\nnational anthem, and what is more, at\nnot one cent of cost to the country,\neither for words or music. Having\nbeen given a national anthem of their\nown, Canadians can now feel that they\nhave right to regard themselves as a\nnation and to at once enter upon their\ndestiny as such. A point of interest In\nconnection with the supplying of this\nanthem is the fact that it conies to\nus as the result of American enterprise and push. A few months ago\nCollier's magazine, an American publication, which, however, boasts a so-\ncalled Canadian edition, took it upon\nitself, in order to get a little cheap advertising, to supply Canadians with a\nnational anthem to replace \"The\nMaple Leaf,\" which, in the absence of\nanything better, has done duty In\nmost parts of Canada for the past\ncouple of decades.\nAs a first step toward providing tlie\nanthem, Collier's decided upon the\nmusic, selecting the air of \"Oh, Canada,\" composed by Mr. F. Lavallee, a\nwell-known French-Canadian musician.\nHaving decided on the music, nil tliat\nwas lacking were tlie words, and for\nthese Collier's, with a generosity\nwhich must have surprised even those\nwho decided on tiie amount, offered a\nprize of $100 und asked for competitive efforts, three men being appointed\nto pass upon the contributions submitted. After due deliberation this\ncommittee has awarded the prize to a\nMrs. McCulloch of Toronto, whose effort is now presented to Canada by\nCollier's as Its own national anthem\nto have and to hold for all time.\nMrs. McCulloch's words, It Is true,\nare pretty, but they lack every characteristic expected of a national anthem.\nThere Is nothing whatever in them to\ngrip or to hold tho imagination of Canadians. However, Canadians are not\nsupposed to have any say in regard to\nthe acceptance or nonacceptance of\nMrs. McCulloch's little poem. Collier's\nlias paid the author $100 for It and has\npresented it to the world as Canada's\nnational anthem. What more is there\nto be done or said about the matter?\nSUBJECT TO CONFIRMATION\nWE OFFER FOR SALE\n15 Consolidated Smelters  Offer\n3000 Diamond Vale Coal   \u2022 \u2022$ >10\n500 International Coal  82\n2000   Rambler-Carlbo0    '\u2022 {J\n100 B.

Oh     -22\nDOO Nugget Gold Mines Bid\nEDITORIAL   NOTE8\nOne of the best possible evidences\nof improved conditions in the mining\nindustry lies In this fact that not for\nyears have there been so few miners\nout of work.\nIf the McBrlde government would\nonly resign and Mr. John Oliver be appointed to run the affairs of the province, everything would be all right\u2014in\nMr. John Oliver's eyes.\nThe Victoria Post says: \"Not so\nlong ago it waB generally believed that\nthere was nothing in the Kootenay but\nmountains and mines. Now we read\nof one of the largest spot-cash land\ndeals recorded in the interior of the\nprovince having been made In Nelson\nthis week, whereby 2,000 acres were\nsold for ?45,000. When the Kootenay\nmines are worked out, and that will\nnot be for many   generations,  it will\nstill be a revenue producer from its\nagricultural lands.\"\nBy the way, If Collier's was dead\nanxious to supply some country with\na national anthem why did it not begin\nat home, where charity always should.\nThe United States is in at least as\ngreat need of a national anthem as Is\nCanada.\nThe News is in receipt of a letter\nsigned \"One Who Is Afraid to Uo\nHome in the Dark,\" but regrets that\ntbe standing rule of the paper against\nthe publication of anonymous correspondence prevents its appearnce, as a\nmatter of the greatest importance to\nthe boating public is dealt with. In\nthe letter complaint Is made that many\nlaunch owners do not carry lights at\nnight, thereby making boating dangerous for small craft in the evening, and\nthe suggestion is offered that all boats\nshould carry lights at night. The suggestion Ib a good one, and it may be\nremarked that so far as launches, at\nany rate, are concerned, they are required by regulation to carry lights\nand their owners can be prosecuted for\nnot doing so. Any launch owner who\nneglects to comply with the law ln\nthis respect and persists in cruising\nabout after dark runs the risk of being held responsible for someone's\ndeath. Would it not be better for\nsuch launch owners to equip their\ncraft with lights?\nKamloops ih now getting anxious to\nsecure some of the tourist trade. In \/a\nrecent issue the Inland Sentinel of that\ncity said*. \"It is tbe intention of the\ngovernor general to spend a week or\nso fishing in the Windermere district\nafter he has paid nis official visit to\nthe Yukon. It Is fast becoming tbe\nfashion of public men to come west for\na holiday and rest, and it would be\nwell to make a special effort to keep\nthe attractions offered by tills district\nbefore them and the general public.\nThere Is no better field in the province than this for the angler and\nhunter, and that tlifs fact is well recognised by a few wideawake ones Is\nshown by the regularity with which\nthey return for the sport year after\nyear. But wo should not he content\nwith tliat; an effort should be made\nto make more widely known just what\nwe can offer to this special class or\nholiday seekers. To this end special\ninvitations might be issued, either by\n\u25a0Sfihe board of trade or some otlier organisation to prominent men throughout Canada, to spend a few days amid\nthe forest.-;, streams and lakes in this\ndistrict To betin with, Earl Grey\nmi^ht bo asked to take his next outing\nhere.\"\nintegrity of our system of government,\nand fuller and freer expression and absolute legal protection for the party\nvoters and their duly authorized representatives in the exercise of their\nfunctions in primary elections and\nparty conventions.\"\nMANY  MEMORIES\nGrand Army of the Republic at Annual\nEncampment\nSALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 11\u2014Midsummer heat today thinned the annual\nranktf oft the Grand Army of the Republic at the 43rd encampment and wrought\nsuffering among the hundreds of children who participated in the formation\nof the living flag.

The veterans walking four\nabreast aroused enthusiasm in more\nthan 100,000 onlookers.\nArkansas had only four veterans in\nline, while Illinois had the largest number marching. At the rear came a little hand whoso banners recalled tihe\ndarkest pictures of the clvi; war.

There can be no\ndoubt as to the benellt that the neighborhood would receive from this proceeding. Most of us living on the west\narm of Kootenay lake are naturally\nvery curious, not to say anxious, to\nknow whereabouts in Nelson or In its\nvicinity the hotel will bo built.

He was 30\nyears of age and waa a reservist ln the\nUritlsh army. While here he assisted\nin the instruction o\u00a3 the members of\nthe signal corps of. the 102nd regiment.\nAs a result of his death his fiance,\nMrs. Minnie Thomas, demanded an enquiry, basing her contention that suspicious circumstances surrounding his\ndeath on tho fact that Alnger had told\nher that he had been poisoned.\nConcerning the Inquest, tbe Victoria\nColonist says:\nThat James Alnger, the young Corn-\nIshman who died suddenly last Tues-\nay, was the victim of heart disease and\nwas not done to death by poisoning, was\nthe verdict of the coroner's Jury at this\nmorning's Inquest. The testimony of.\nDr. Robertson, who was called, but did\nnot reach the deceased's bedside until\nnfter death, did not disclose anything\nsensational. The result of his post\nmortem examination was the discovery\nthat Alnger had been suffering from inflammation of the heart and lhat under\nordinary circumstances death was natural.\nThe doctor deposed that he had been\nasked to attend the sick man at his\n'boarding house, 1202 Blanchard street,\nat about noon on Tuesday. When he\narrived he found deceased dead. His\nexamination has failed to disclose any\nexternal evidences of violence. There\nwere no signs of chemicals or Irritant\npoisons about the month. The limbs\nwere swollen. He had concluded that\nthe death was the outcome of heart\ntrouble or klndey trouble and had accordingly issued a certificate.\nIn his post morten examination he\nhad found the development of caute\npneumonia in the upper lobe of tha\nright lung and a pronounced enlargement and Inflammation of the heart.\nThe other organs were normal. He had\nremoved the stomach but had not subjected the contents to any tests. It was\nhis opinion that Alnger had been killed\nby heart affection described. He declared thnt, ln his opinion, the fatal termination of, the ailment was wliat might\nhave been looked for.\nMrs. Louis Freeman, the proprietress\nof the establishment at which deceased\nboarded, testified that Alnger had secured lodgings at her house last June.\nThe first Indication of serious illness\noccurred last Wednesday. But be had\ngone out every day since Sunday. It\nwas his intention to go to the hospital\non Monday, but, changing his mind, he\nannounced that he would go the next\nday. At noon on Tuesday she and\nothers had been attracted by the noise\nof a fall and rushing to the young man's\nroom, found him on the floor. He was\nalive when found but before Dr. Robertson, who was summoned, reached the\nhouse he hnd passed away.\nMrs. Minnie Thomas, who was to\nhave married Alnger, and who met the\nlatter here on his arrival from Nelson\nabout three weeks ago for that purpose\nexplained that she had made his acquaintance about 18 months ago while\ntravelling from England. He was an\nengineer. Her last conversation with\nhim took place last Saturday and lasted\nbut a few minutes, he complaining o'\nnot feeling well. Hlg first admission of\nIllness, she said, was on July 6 last,\nwhen he expressed the opinion that his\nsupper had disagreed with him.
