It was not at first intended to\n|ertuke this last night, but Alderman\nTbley put his foot down hard,  deling that this by-law had been too\n; delayed already and was urgently\nbed.   He told Alderman Smith that\n(would give vital reasons (or this if\naldermen would step with him into\nMayor's room\u2014not for any physical\ninient, however!\nthe council went into committee\n[ sat close.   In accordance with the\nr's promise to the Local Option\nIciation the early closing question\nwell thrashed out with the following\nIt:\nBart to Cloae Early\nfn in Prince Rupert, according to\new licensing by-law will close at\nLm. each night except Saturday and\nlay.   On Saturdays they will close\nI p.m. They will remain closed all\n|ay and will open on Monday at\np. and al the same hour each other\nday.    This   clause   was   passed\nouncil in committee as a whole\n, some little differences had been\n\u25a0ted, notably, Alderman Naden's\netion to the 6 a.m. opening hour\n1 objection was overcome.\n> Bartendere to Have Licenses\nlicenses for bartenders will be neces-\n' under the new by-law.   There was\nBRITISH SPIES\nGET FOUR YEARS\nHEAVY SENTENCE MAY LEAD TO\nINTERNATIONAL TROUBLE\nsome discussion regarding the recommendation of applicants for licenses as\nbartenders and eventually the clause\nrequiring them lo be recommended\nwas cut out. Unsuitable applicants\nit was held would quickly betray themselves, and be deprived iof ther licenses.\nThat a clear view of the interior of the\nwhole bar must be possible from the\noutside is a point insisted on\nAn  Important Discussion\nA lengthy discussion arose when\nClause 7 A was reached. This clause\nprovides that the Board shall renew\nthe licenses of all license holders who\nhave not been guilty of any violations\nof the Act, and that if at some future\ndate the number of licenses are cut\ndown, those of most recent date are to\nbe cut off first.\nAlderman Smith opposed this clause\nwanting these matters to be left to the\ndiscretion of the Board. He claimed\nthat such a clause was illegal.\nLynch Had Legal Opinion\nAlderman Lynch who staunchly insisted that the clause should stand, said\nhe had got legal advice on the point and\nwas assured that the clause was quite\nproper. To Alderman Hilditch who\nwanted more time to consider it, it\nwas pointed out that an opportunity\nwould present iteslf on the third reading\nnext Tuesday.\nOn the motion of Alderman Lynch\nthe clause was put to the committee and\npassed.\nIEY GOT THERE\nJUST IN TIME\nIto convivial gents visited\nthe city hall\n\u25a0opped in at Midnight While Council Waa Discussing Licenses They\nThought City Hall Wat a Bar and\nOrdered Drlnka.\nDeep in the discussion of the Licensing\n\u2022law the city council at a late hour\nnight was disturbed by fumbling\nI'l mumblings at the door.\n\u25a0The tumblings and mumblings were\nflowed   by  stumblings  as  the   door\nlened and two dazed but good tem-\nked drunks entered and leaned across\nle counter.\nMayor Stork took in the situation\nid jumped up.\nBobbing  their  heads cheerfully  the\nitruderg gave their order: \"Two Glash'\n\u25a0eer.\"\n| (Jently the Mayor explained the dry\n\u25a0 dust nature of the business conducted\nlithin the premises visited.\nSlowly the woeful truth dawned on\n(he visitors, and piloted by the Mayor\nI Alderman Pattullo they despondent-\n' withdrew.\nNo beer with all that   talk of bars\n(n'l   bar   tender.1     Oh   bitter   irony!\nnhospitable City Hall!\nQuestion Will Be Raited in the House\nof Commons at to Severity of Sentence\u2014Men Pleaded Guilty to\n\"Sketching.\"\n(Special to the Optimist)\nLeipsig, Dec. 23.\u2014International complications are regarded as a possible\nsequel to the four years term of im-\nprisonemnt meted out to the two\nBritish spies who were caught antl\npleaded guilty to sketching German\nfortifications. The names of the officers\nthus caught are Captain Trench and\nLieutenant Brandon.\nThe sentence is regarded as much too\nsevere for the offence committed se-\npecially in view of the fact that quite\nrecently a German spy caught doing\nthe same thing at Portsmouth was\nallowed to go free on his own recog-\nniscances.

They represented the Local Option League, and\ncame to bring urgently before thc Mayor\nand council the need for early closing of\nthe city bars.\nActing as spokesman for the deputation, H. F. McRae put forward their\ncontention that the liqour trade required\nto be seriously controlled in the city.\nHe urged the existence of early closing\nmeasures in many other cities, and\nsuggested for Prince Rupert that the\nbars close at 11 p.m. on five nights and\nan hour earlier on Saturday.\nMayor Stork in reply said that the\nLicensing By-law would be before the\ncouncil that night, and that he would\nundertake that the deputation's desires\nin respect to early closing would have\ndue consideration in discussion of the\nby-law.\nAlderman Naden expressed his intention to do all hoyould at the proper\ntime to further the early closing cause,\nand the deputation then withdrew\nthcnking the Mayor and council.\nLondon, Dec. 21.\u2014With the final\nvoting the general elections have come\nto a close. All the results are not yet\nknown, but the last three seats were\nformerly held by a Liberal, a Nationalist\nand an Independent Nationalist.\nStanding of Partiea\nThe standing of the parties ia:\nGovernment   Coalition.- Liberals,\n1270,   Laboritea   43,   Nationaliatt   72,\nIndependent Nationaliatt 10.

Aurno. The\nLiberal majority in this district in the\nJanuary election was 276, and it is considered doubtful if the Unionists can\novercome this.\nA Remarkable Contest\nThe election has been the most remarkable in the history of British\npolitics and has upset the entire calculations of the Unionists, who had\nseriously expected not less than twenty\nseats. On the contrary the Unionists\nhave not only gained nothing, but are\nlikely in the end to suffer a net loss of\none.\nMORE   RUSSIAN   BRUTALITY\nMONGOLIAN AUTHORITIES TAKE\nNO STEPS TO CHECK IT\nGerman Conaul Declares That If\nAuthoritiea Do Not Take Immediate Action Hia Government Will\nStep in and Act.\n(Speciul to the Optimist I\nHong Kong, Dec. 23.--Buconic plague\nis now raging in Mongolia antl carrying\noff scores every day. Manchuria is also\nreported to lie plague striken. The\nterrible feature aliout the plague is\nthat it is being allowed to go on unchecked. No modern method is being\napplied to it, and the list of the victims\nare increasing daily.\nThe German Consul, realizing the\nperil of the situation to Europeans has\nstepped into the breach and taken\naction. He has demanded that the\nauthorities take immediate action to\nhave a radical measure introduced to\ncope with the evil. He declares that\nunless immediate action is taken the\nGerman government will take over\nthe control of the district.\nSince October the 15th no less than 543\nChinese and 30 Russians have succumbed to the ravages of the dreaded\nplague.\nGendarmes   Attack  Students   With\nSabres at Odessa\n(Special to the Optimist)\nOdessa, Dec. 23.\u2014As a result of a\nstreet riot between students and gendarmes three of the former were killed\nand ten more seriously injured. The\nstudents had formed themselves into a\nprocession and were singing revolution -\nary songs on the street. They were\nasked to disperse by the officers but\ndeclined to do so whereupon the gendarmes charged into them with sabres and\nexecuted considerable havoc in the\nranks of the students.\nCHRISTMAS GIFT\nFOR HOSPITAL\nCITY WILL PROBABLY MAKE DONATION OF $1,000\nAfter Conference With the Hospital\nBoard the Finance Committee\nAgreea to Recommend Council to\nMake Grant of Above Amount.\nThis morning the chariman, secretary,\nand some members of the General\nHospital Board met the members of\nthe finance committee in connection\nwith the proposal that the hospital funds\nshould be augmented by the city.\nAfter a short discusaion it was decided\nto leave the matter in the hands of the\nfinance committee the members of which j\nremained in consultation after the\nHospital Board members had withdrawn.\nDecision was come to that the committee shall recommend the city council\nto donate $1,000 to the Hospital Fund.\nThis is not as much as the Hospital\nBoard had hoped for, but as thc whole\nquestion of the municipal ownership of\nthe hospital will come up early in the\ncoming year the finance committee fetl\nthat they coulc not go further with the\nmatter at present.\nPRINCE GEORGE\nOUT FOR RECORD\nLOAN OF J66.000\nAgreement With Bank of Montreal\nConfirmed\nA motion that the city council confirm the agrrement with the Bank of\nMontreal for a loan of 166,000 was put\nby Alderman Pattullo last night and\ncarried.\nSAILED   OFF   WITH   PARTY   OF\nHOLIDAY MAKERS\nMerry Party on Board Sang to Their\nFriends Ashore aa the Vessel Left\nthe Wharf-Some of the Paa-\nsengers.\nThe Prince George cast off her mooring\nlast night a few minutes after schedule\ntime and proceeded upon what is Imped\nwill be a record breaking journey.

To be reasonably\nhonest and truthful in moderation; to\nsell my shirt for a pal, but not to get\ninto that situation more than necessary.\nTo be temperate, but to eat and drink\nwhenever I choose, independently of\nall meat boycotts, prohibition laws, and\nhealth culture schemes. To pursue\nan ideal without talking about it. To\nkeep an open mind and a cool head, a\ncivil tongue and a clean collar. To\nworry all I want to, and no more; to\navoid boring and being bored, knocking\nand being knocked. Not to preach and\nnot to revile; that is, to be neither\ncrook nor hypocrite, if it be granted to\ncrook nor hypocrite, if it be granted to\nine to be neither; to condemn no man\nnor principle unheard; to keep my faith\nbetween myself and the Almighty, or\nmy unbelief to myself alone.\".\nThe Fowl and Hia Stuffing\nAll the particularly delectable old-\nfashioned dishes that our grandfathers\nfattened on seemed to have been declared particularly indigestible. The\nmoist\u2014often soggy\u2014stuffing, made of\nbread rrumbs, sage and onions, which\nused always to swell the sides of the\nChristmas turkey is very near the top\nof the list of deadly indigestible-, One\ntoothsome substitute which is well\nliked is made of a mixture of mashed\n,X potatoes and sausage meat.   For a ten-\npound turkey are required three pints\nof hot mashed potatoes seasoned with\nfinely minced parsley, celery, onion\nand pepper; one pint of sausage meat\nseasoned with sage and two eggs, which\nshould be beaten thoroughly and mixed\nwith the other ingredients. The turkey\nmay then be filled and roasted. An\nattractive way of serving it to is have\nready large boiled onions with a shallow\nwell in the top filled with cooked sausage,\nwhich may be placed around on the platter. Just before sending to the table a\nlittle brandy is poured over each one and\nignited, making a most festal dish.\nWalnut Stuffing\u2014To one quart of\nfresh bread crumbs add one cup of\nEnglish walnuts which have been cut\ninto small pieces, one tablespoonful of\nsalt, and one-quarter teaspoonful of\npepper. Melt two-thirds of a cup of\nbutter in two-thirds of a cup of hot\nmilk and combine with the crumbs.\nMix throughly and fill the turkey at\nonce, allowing room for the stuffing to\nswell.\nTurkish Stuffing\u2014For this is required\none cup of rice, one dozen French\nchestnuts, quarter pound currants, one-\nhalf cup butter, two ounces of almonds,\nand a quarter of a teaspoonful each\nof salt paprika and ground cinnamon.\nWash the rice and cook until half done\nin boiling salted water; drain and add\nthe other ingredients.

It is the failing of dull minds the world over.\nHad it only waited twenty-four hours before proclaiming its ignorance, it\nmight have been spared its self exposure. As it is, our yesterday's article explaining\nwhat the Empire confesses it cannot understand, did not appear quite soon enough\nto save our contemporary.\nOur contemporary is paying now for its past misdeeds. Its mind so long\ndevoted to the task of blind abuse has become incapable of thinking clearly about\nanything. However, a confession of ignorance is the starting poinl of knowledge,\nand the New Year may bring peace and sanity.\nIn the meantime, it would do well to avoid talking about economics until it\nsees lhe light.   Its suggestion of peddling off portions of a debenture issue as needed,\nis amusing in the extreme.   What consternation it would cause on the bourses of\nFaris, Berlin, and London each Friday night when the news would come flashing l\nthrough the cable:\n\"Rush week-end sale debentures. Stuck for money. MeMordie nearly\nthrough on Second Ave. bluff. Men on Seventh Ave. plankway threaten\nto quit.

Those who were destined\nfor Queen Charlotte had to wai in\nVancouver until the vessel was repaired\nand ready for the journey. Captain\nLocke brought her in this morning and\nreported that she had made a good\nshowing on the way up after her two\nmishaps.\nThe Bruno reached Prince Rupert\nlast night with a mixed cargo from the\nIslands.

It may not be the piece of\nthuggism the despatches claim it to be. Many a peace-loving citizen of Prince\nRupert who has had a meal in a Vancouver restaurant has felt just like that.\nInstead of a thug, the gentleman with the shooting-iron may have been merely\na public-spirited citizen.\nThat the man was not unduly vindicitive is seen by his act in merely emptying\nthe till. He might have insisted on the unhappy restaurant proprietor eating\none of his own meals. Such a plan is adopted by the Imperial cooks in China, the\ntheory probably being that if the cook does not drop down dead the owner of the\nImperial stomach may safely take a chance.\nPerhaps the man had himself been the victim of a hold-up in a Vancouver\nrestaurant, and decided to exact a poetic revenge upon the first culinery catere\nhe came across. That is supposed to be the reason why so many hold-ups by\nmasked bandits take place on the western railroads. The bandits were originally\nhonest men who came from the East with the intenlion of settling down to lives\nof toil. But after paying a visit to the dining car they decided to go into thc hold-up\nbusiness themselves. The reason that they mask their faces is that they may\nnot be identified by the waiters in the dining cars.\nThe Vancouver hold-up may be just the vulgar act of a common criminal;\non the other hand it may be the act of a modern John Hampden heralding the dawn\nof a new day for those unhappy men who have to subsist on restaurant meals.\nHeretofore the restaurant dyspeptic has always revenged himself on his wife, his\nfamily or his employees.   Maybe now he will deal out justice in the matter.\nThe Vancouver police should sift this matter to the bottom and produce the\ngentleman with the gun. Either penal servitude for life or a statue in bronze\nshould be his portion.\nWORD \"FOREIGN\"\nIS NOT ALLOWED\nCITY COUNCIL CANNOT ADMIT\nIT IN PETITION\nNot in Accordance With the Spirit of\nthe Dominion\u2014Petition Against\nHotel on Fourth Avenue Must Be\nRe-worded.\nOwing to thc unfortunate use of the\nword \"foreigner\" in the petition by the\nFourth avenue residents against the\nerection of a boarding house on Fourth\navenue near Grant place, the petition\nhas been referred back to the petitioners,\nbut meanwhile the building permit for\nthe proposed structure is withheld.\nIt was felt by the streets committee\nwho considered the matter that they\ncould hardly recommend the council\nto act upon this petition in a manner\ndistinct from thc usage of the Dominion\nitself in regard to the freedom as citizens\nallowed to all nationalities.\nWhile the committee's report stated\nthat the distriet was u beautiful residential   one   and   rendered   still   more\nso by the fine residences erected there\nalready, it was felt by the whole council\nthat to forbid the erection of a \"boarding\nhouse\" there might affect this district\nat a future date when in all probability\nit may be the high class boarding house\ndistrict of the city.\nRegarding the use of the word \"foreigner\" in the objectionable sense, there\nwas even some hint of international\ncomplications. In uny ease the council\nwhile desirous of preservirf lhe amenity\nof the residential districts is unwilling\nto make the term \"foreign\" one of\nopprobrium, although the grounds for\nthe petition in question are thoroughly\nunderstood by every member of the\ncouncil.\nK. of P.

CAMERON & CO. f\nORDERED SCOW\nTO BE REMOVED\nHARBOR-MASTERS AUTHORITY\nQUESTIONED BY MERCHANT\nCapt. Allcock Convinced Mr. C. Peck\nThat the Law Was on His Side-\nThreatened With Fine of $50 in\nDefault.\nMr. C. Peek and Captain Allcock, the\nharbor-master, do not exactly see eye\nto eyo in matters relating to the conduct\nof the wharf. The worthy captain\nwould seem to have the government on\nhis side however and that certainly ia\nan asset not to be lightly disregarded.\nThe trouble arose in this way. Before\nPrince Rupert developed the shipping\nwhich necessiiated the installation of a\nproperly authorized harbor-master the\nnumerous scows having trade relations\nwith the port were in the habit of\ntying up at the most convenient places,\nand as there was little chance of them\nbeing in the way no one objected.\nScows in the Way\nThe recent march of industry has\naltered all this however. On several\noccasions lately the scows have interfered with the berthing of the larger\nboats coming from the north and south\nwith freight and passengers. In order\nI to obviate any difficulty and at the same\nj lime to settle all disputes lhat might\narise upon this point the harbor regulations had a clause ingrafted conferring\nthe arbitary power of ordering lhe scows\nto be removed within a certain space of\ntime.\nExplanations Follow\nIt was the exercise of this power that\nbrought Mr. Peck into the harbormaster's office this morning with a\n! complaint against petty persecution.\n| Prior to this appearance he and the\nI Captain had held intercourse over the\ni telephone when the latter intimated\nthat if the said scow of the former was\nnot removed from its present mooring\nwithin an hour, the time specified by\nlaw, he would have him fined $50. Accordingly Mr. Peck visited the Captain's\nden down at the waterfront and demanded an explanation. Perfectly willing to comply the Captain took down\nthe harbor regulations from the wall\nand quoted the paragraph investing\nhimself with the necessary power and\nintimating the extent of the fine. The\nregulations were so specific lhat there\ncould be no gainsaying them so Mr.\nPeck went off to have his scow removed.\nSource of Trouble\nCaptain Allcock who has only been\nstationed here for two months says\nthat a great deal of trouble has been\noccasioned the larger vessels through\nscows being berthed right on thc front\nof thc wharf. It somestimes happens\nthat a boat has to make a couple of\ncomplete circles before she can effect a\nlanding on account of these small craft;\nand of course all that unnecessary\ncruising means a serious loss to the\nvessels.\nLAND PURCHASE NOTICE\nTHE JEWELERS\n6th St. and 2nd Aye. m\nSkeena Land District -Dl-j.rirt of Coast\nTake notice that Edward Thomas of Vuncourer,\nIf   C., occupation timber man. intend* tn apply\nfor permission to purehase tho following deftcrilted\nlands-\nCommcnring at a posl planted on the weat shore\nof Lakelae l_ake almut <<() chaina in a north-easterly\ndirection from th** outlet nt the lake I.h KpLm\nRiven thence north 2o thin, t hener wott |Q chaina,\nthence south 20 chainn to the luke shore, thence\nfollowing the lake shore to point of comtneneement,\ncontaining HO irrm more or lens.\npttstj Nov. 7. 1910.

On account of the fact that\nthe drifts and the tides can be watched\nso much more closely when the fishermen\nare out in gasoline propelled boats and\ndo not have to wait for favorable winds\nor take the oars, naturally the men did\nnot want to stay with the old style of\nboats.\nLast year, it is stated, two companies offered free gasoline as an incentive to the fishermen and as a result\nsecured the services of all they wanted\nwhile the less fortunate canneries on\noccasions could not secure enough\nfishermen to man the boats allotted\nthem under the government scaling.\nTO ALTER THE GRADES\nSecond  and  Third   Avenue  Owners\nPetition Council\nPetitions for the revision of the grades\non Second and Third avenues, are in\nthe hands of the council and were\nreferred to the streets committee last\nnight.

It\nwas learned today that a number of\nthe college women have banded together with the view of organizing\npolitical clubs.\n\"We believe that the younger women\nshould take the lead among the women\nvoters,\" said one of the leading co-eds\ntoday.

Fortunately the inmates\nwere out when the outbreak occurred\nfor the flames spread with great rapidity\nand in a few minutes the place was\ngutted. The alarm was rung in to the\nfire station by a girl. On rushing the\nreel to the scene of the fire the brigade\nwas faced with the difficulty of getting\nwater. The house where the fire occurred was away at the far end of the\navenue of houses and the nearest hydrant\nwas at Miller's pool room, some eight\nhundred feet away. Across planks\nand stumps the hose was carefully\nnegotiated, however, and the water\nwas speedily playing upon the flames.\nThe interior of the house was burnt\nto matchwood and there was grave\ndanger for a time that the flames would\nenvelop the two adjoining houses, one\nof which was only two feet waay and\nthe other five feet away.\nFireman Injured\nBy drenching these houses, however,\nthe firemen succeeded in preventing the\nblaze from spreading and after some\nstrenuous work also succeeded in extinguishing the fire in 48.\nWhen the fire was sufficiently subdued\nto allow of the firemen entering the j\nbuilding it was found that everything |\nhad been destroyed. The furniture j\nwas burnt to cinders and the clothing |\nof   the   inmates   was destroyed.\nD.   McKenzie,   one of the firemen,\ninjured his hand through falling against {\nthe chimney while endeavoring to get i\nat the root of the outbreak.\nA Defective Chimney\nThe fire is supposed to have been\ncaused through an overheated chimney.\nThe alarm was rung in to the fire station\nat seven o'clock and the men had it out\nby nine.\nMany people were attracted by the\nblaze and for a time considerable excitement prevailed not only among the\nspectators, but among the inmates of\nthe other houses in the vicinity.\nBROWN & FULL1NGT0N\nHaberdashers\nLaw Butler Building THIRD AVE.\nMORE EASTERN TROUBLE\nArmy Corps Said to Be en Route for\nTripoli\n(Special to the Optimist)\nLondon, Dec. 22.\u2014The Pall Mall\nGazette caused a mild sensation this\nmorning by announcing in their columns\nthat an army corps had been secretly\nembarked for Tripoli.
