Brown, of Now Westminster, mado an eloquent speech, presenting tht arguments of tho opposition .vory ably, iCtniiiiiiail oil l'lc.'itli Page.) A Hot Lacrosse Flitch. Tho lacrosse match at Kamloops last Wednesday between the rival teams of Ashcroft und Kumloops wus warmly contested, resulting in u drawn gumo, ouch sido scoring twice. At ouo timo in lho game a decision was given by one of tho umpires that was so radically wrong Ihat an immediate and vigorous protest was mado, aud in so fnr effective that tho error wns rectified. As all who saw tho ball thrown, both of Kamloops and Asbcroft pooplo, entirely agreed that tho bull did not go within several feet of the goal posts, outsido of tho abovo thogamo was close aud intensely interesting. John Hawthorne, captain of tho Ashcroft team, wus injured in tho knee by running into a post on the grounds and wns obliged to retire from tbo game, and ono or two other players wero slightly injured. A large delegation went up from Ashcroft and nil had a pleasant day off. Qutslde of u few of the players who seemed to want to take advantage of an unjust ruling rather than have a fair one, the Kamloops team used tbo Ashcroft elub well. Wo think the two or three who wero disposed to bo unfair regretted it as soon as tlio feelings o£ the pooplo of Kamloops was mado man.ifest. To their credit bo it said tbat, with the exception of one case, not ono man so far as wo know would receive,a dollar on tho decision of the referee which was at first given ugaiust Ashcroft. Thoy simply said, "Wo did not win your monoy and dou't want nor won't, jmve it." It wus munly in them and appreciated by tho Ashcroft visitors, not for the mouey part, for the wagers woro small as a rule, but from tho fine and gentlemanly spirit shown. The referee afterwards, we understand, announced tho game as two and two, and declared nil bets olf. At least this was so reported. Tho one exception that did keep the money was advised to "blow back," but refused, The end of tho chapter may not yet be written in his case. Kamloops will return the game soon, aud Ashoroft will uso hor visitors so well that none will regret coming down, Tbo Standard gives u long and learned description of the recent lacrosse grime, iu which it concludes the article by saying: "Jiiok Hawthorne camo to grief again running up against tho grand stand, in pursuit of tho ball, at full speed, and twisting bis sprained knee again. A substitute having been found play was resumed, aud some skilful dodging by McGulre resulted in Mclntyro getting tho ball, when, nfter somo sharp play in the centre, McGuiro again seoured it, and running up past tbo Ashcroft defence was successful In throwing the sphere between the flags, scoring tho third goal for Kumloops. Score, Kam- loofs, 3; Ashcroft, 2. This lutter was objected to by Ashcroft uud some considerable discussion took place, the umpire aud referee giving the goal to Kamloops. The Ashcroft team wero not satisfied with tho decision and declined to continue tbo gumo." The above description is very flaring but we object. The facts are, after the captaiu of tho Ashoroft team was disabled tho gamo was resumed and two decisions mado by tho umpire (Kumloops) aud the referee, (Kamloops.) Ono of tho decisions given was not a goal but was allowed to pass without protest. Tho last named decision, whereby the umpire if honest is incapable, was so rank, tho ball passing more than 0 foot outsido of tho flags, that it was at oneo protested and we aro glad to say that tho player who throw tho ball for goal, Stevenson, (and n gentleman by tho way) immediately doclured thut tho umpire wus mistaken and that it was not a goal. Out of tho 100 people who woro in a positiou to soo tho ball uud thc lings as plainly ns the uinpiroconld all without hesitation agreed that it was uot anywhere near a goal. Evory man in Kamloops, and thoro wore probably fifty or moro, who had a wager of any kind Immediately declared that thoy did not want monoy that they did not fairly win. Wc say without exception, wo should except ono man who, to tho disgust of his fellow townsmen, did insist on keeping tho $5 staked, although bo stated that it was no goal and thut the decision was rank. In concluding comment on this gamo ns played wo beg to say for ABhcroft, our athletic club wont up on the Invitation of Kamloops to play a gumo- Wo wont up and played. In all fairness the game was 2-2, or more strictly sponking a goal for each side might huvo boon well questioned. The attempt to count a goat for Kiimloops simply because tho bull happened to bo down arouud that end of tho grouud, was the most bare faced fraud over attempted in this sectiou. It was repudiated ut ouce uud emphatically by all Kamloops and by tbe Kamloops players themselves with two or threo exceptions. One of these had money up on the game and intended to win fair or foul. All bets were declared off by tbe citizens thomsolvos and wo understand that tho roforeo called the gamo a tie 2-2, It will not bo acknowledged as anything else by tho Ashcroft association and no further gamo will bo played with Kamloops unless this is done. Wo uro willing to take the chances aud wo aro not kickors but wo will not bo robbed barefuuodly boeause of a few dollars on the gamo by outsiders. Wo desire to be thoroughly understood ns saying thut the Kamloops people aud the majority of tho players nre gentlemen and truo sportsmen and wo do not say that tho umpire who culled "goal" fhe third time against Ashcroft was bought, but if honest he was blind. A Terrlllc Sturm. A storm tin paralleled iu severity touched Ashcroft and expended its fury across the Thompson opposite, passing along by Cacho Creek and doing much damage to the fruit and growing crops iu its path. On the ranch opposite Ashcroft, owned by S. Tlngley, a flood of water poured down the mountain aide aud almost completely ruined the crop of the touant of the ranch. James Campbell, of Cache Creek, suffered severely, his crop boing badly damaged, and the ranch, or portions of it, being covored with boulders aud drift from tbo mountain side. C. A. Semlin's ranch was also injured, tbo irrigation ditch being filled up and the dam washed away. The Perry ranch aud Mr. Goss' garden ut tho mill wero bndly damaged. So far as we have beard, not m uch damago was done at other places. Hail accompanied tho storm and tho wind wus high. The Methodist church in town was injured somewhat by being twisted by the storm on its foundation. Mauy windows were broken by tho hail. In fact, It was a bad storm, uud while apparently only local, wus tho worst ever seen here by old timers. It did not, however, approach the cyclones so often experienced in tho Dakotas and Manitoba. Roads were damaged somewhat, and Superintendent of Public Works Stevenson Ib at work with gangs of men replacing culverts and repairing roads. Thero was no delay of trains, so the storm could not have been bad along the line. At Barnes', Parkes1, Walkers' and Evans' ranches there was very littlo damage done. Suoh a storm is not a welcomo visitor and fortunately is not often sent to tbis section. Ivan's Brayinic. Ivan Popinoff evidently has a very bud spell. His lottor, purporting to bo written from Ashcroft, but really not written within 47 miles of that place, breathes virulent indignation against the government for its neglect of the Ashoroft jail, and then proceeds to insult tbe entire community in u stylo that the Spanish press does the Yankee "pigs." Ivan never breathed better or purer air than tbat of Ashcroft. Work needs doing in tho way of cleaning up the town as it does in all hustling towns occasionally. Who is Ivan, by the way, and wherefore his sudden and violent unrest? There aro individuals here in Ashcroft who will wager their good money that if be can be found that ho is of the usual style of reformers, but that ho bus not washed his own feet or changed his raiment for tbe past sixty days, Some very good people sny thero is no suoh manâthat he exists only in the vivid imagination of tbe clipper of blood-curdling tales of abuse found in the Province. If written by anyone in this section, it is a sufo proposition thut notes for tbe description of tho jail were takon whilo tho writer was sojourning within tbe walls, and u guest of Constable Burr. So, Ivan, don't keep Popinoff these stories written with a purpose to give Ashcroft a bad reputation. Dig out your own ears beforo you get too much horrified, and take a this year's bath. Lot Ashoroft look out for itself. Wo don't have typhoid, scarlet fever and kindred diseases here, Do you havo them whore you live a couple of times a year or so? Iu brief, Ashcroft appreciates anything dono by anyone to give us either good will or assistance, The article above referred to wns not intended for either but was a most uncalled for attack ou Ashcroft aud its people. We shall watch for Ivan as we think he eau bo identified, for anyone writing such an article must have ears a foot long. From Stanloy came news by Lho last mail thut tho Lightning Creek Gold Gravels and Drainage Company uro now engaged iu running a survey for thoir now flume line, taking grndieuLs etc., und u forco of men aro hard at work erccting*'btiildings near lo tho lowor end of Wing Dam hill. Tho ground for tho drainage tunnel will be broken at this point aud tho drain for 81X1 feet will ho au opon cut. This can be douo economically and well owing to tho grades und configuration of tho surfuce. Tho work is in chargo of Charles Ramos, who is thoroughly competent to undertake it and the entire operntlou is under tho supervision of Major H. W. Moore, of Baltimore, secretary of tbo company. A good beginning is thus boing made by this company. No ground in Cariboo gives greater promise than does the old channel in Lightning creok, and a drainage tunnel hns been the dream of the old miners of Cariboo for many aud mauy a year. It will take well conducted aud persistent work. The results of such work is certain to be rewarded with success, and in uo small or stinted measure. There are mauy millions in the grounds of the old channel of Lightning creek and when properly opened up no farther Klon dike need bo looked for. There is grouud enough to work to last a dozen lifetimes. Wo understand that a full force of experienced meu will push in the drift as fast as eight-hour shifts can do, and that the company has uu abundance of capital to carry on the work. The Drownlne at QuesrwHe. David Wood, of Philadelphia, wbo was tho owner of tbe Peterborough canoe that was upset iu tho swift running Fraser, about 30 miles above Quesuolle, on the (tth inst., pussed through Asbcroft this week on his way cast, whoro ho is obliged to go on account of this unfortunate accident in which John Harris, who was a pructical minor, uud hi tbo employ of Mr. Wood. wus drowned, and the entire outfit, oousistiug of about 1,200 pounds of supplies, tools, etc, wus lost. Mr. Wood had a very narrow escupe, and but for the fortunate fact that wb«*ro tho canoo overturned there was a low shore, and tho Indian steering Che tho canoe reached shore and luckily found u polo about twelve feet long which he reached out to Mr. Wood just in timo to save him, be would undoubtedly have lost his life. The canoe was picked up In a battered condition a fow miles above Quesnelle empty and worthless. The Fraser is a treacherous stream to navigate with a small boat, and none but experienced men should attempt it and trfon not at extreme high water. Mr. Wood, while unfortunate in losing his outfit, regrets more the sad death of the man who was in his employ and to whom no assistance could bo given in time, although there wero other boats iu the vicinity. HÂ« was unable to swim, and in a stream like the Fraser, swimming will not avail muoh except iu an eddy or a comparatively quiet part of tbe river. Mr. Wood has gone cast to his borne but expects to return with another outfit, as ho is favorably impressed with all ho has soon and learned of the northern country. Ashcroft Imp.ovum_nts. Attorney General Eberts was, while here, invited by Mr. J. Shields .to take u trip to the dam and inspect the work of tbe energetic Toronto company. He referred in the evening to the extent aud importance of the work, as to its value to Ashcroft, and this section in general, and prophesiod that within a few years Ashcroft would be ti largo aud prosperous towu. He stated that he had never seen a better piece or mechanioal engineering in connection with developing .a wator power than tho ono visited by him that day on the Bonaparte. Ho also visited the jail aud grounds and publicly, in answer to a question from one of the audience, said that he would do all in his power to promptly meet tho requirements 'of Ashcroft iu the way of a new jail and proper grounds. Ho stated that his attention had been recently called to the condition of the jail bere by a let- tor from Justice Drako, to whom, by the way, Ashcroft is under obligations for his prompt attention to this, to us, important and much needed improvement. Mr. Eberts said that ho should reco- moud securing moro ground for tbe government nud au entirely new building, instead of trying to patch up tho look-up. Constable Pypor, of Chileoten, brought dowu a prisoner lust week, from that place, to servo out an unexpired term to which ho was sentenced somo mouths ugo, but who bad taken French leave. From now on ho will bo kept iu close confinement, A centrifugal gun, discharging 30,000 bullets u minute, hus beeu invented by un English engineer. Tho bullets arc poured into a case from a hopper and guided into a disk, threo feet in diam- ater, revolving iu tbo case at tho rato of 15,000 revolutions a minute. They aro discharged from the edgooftbe disk. Whon tho Amoricau war is over wc are going to buy ono of these guns if wo can get a good second hand ono, nnd koop it turned on the roferee at futuro lacrosso matches.

In reply, I beg o say that I urn advised from tho' olllco of the Attornoy-Gonoral tbat registered votors may bo transferred from oue constituency tu auother at uny Lime, In other words, lho registers uro never closed as to transfers, except, possibly, on Lho day of polling. The steps necessary to make a transfer ure clearly set out in sec. 10 of the "Redistribution Act, 1 SOS." The voter makes application to lho Colleotor of the cunstitu- oncy where he is registered, to have his name removed from tbo list, and asks for a certificate that it hus been removed. On receipt of that certificate he fills up the short form of appli cation for registration and forwards it, together with tbo certificate, to tho Collector uf the constituency tu which ho desires Lo bo transferred. Ou receipt of this certificate nnd Lhe short form, the Collector immediately places the trausferrud name on his list of voters. Under tho ruling of tho Attorney-General's ofllce, uny person who has bis name thus transferred before tho day of polling, will bo entitled to voto at tbo election. It should bc mentioned that It is provided iu the Act thai n voter must be resident in tho riding tu which he wishes to bo transferred for two months at the time of making application for transfer.

Thoy say this will revolutionize the rubber trade and give Ihem control of ut least the manufacture of bicycle tires. Five chemists in tbo employ of the cumpuny have been working un this Innovation for some months past. According to reports tbo chemists have found that the oil of tho ooru properly treated and vulcanized is superior to that of the product of Lho South American rubber tree, it is more resilient and inure lasting; and it is said that Lho manufacture uf Lbe rubber under the new process will greatly lessen the cost, of rubber, especially tbat variety that is used in tho manufacture of bicycle tires, which is required to bo tljiu, durable and resilient. It is claimed that the new variety of rubber will withstand much mun; pressure Lhail that now in use fur tires, and thut it will offer muro resistance Lu outsido forco. -Miniug Engineer.

Soulful Youth (at the piano)â"Do you slug'Por Bvorntid l-vor'." Mutter-of-Fuct-Muidon ."No; 1 stop for meats,"â-London Tid-Bils, Imbedded In Cold Steel, A peculiar Incident with regard to tho blowing up of tho Maine was mentioned to a World reporter the other day by Henry Parkor, who had just returned from Washington, whero he was in conferouco with the naval author! ties concerning the proposed raising of tbo battleship. Some of the plates of the Maine had just been brought to Lho Capital and in one of these, a piece ot tho ship's armor, was imbedded the jawbone of one of the unfortunate sailers who met their death In the great explosion. The bone was not broken, but firmly imbedded in the unyielding metal. While Mr, Parker was iu Washington, experiments witb explosives were going on every day and in one of thoso a hardened steel plate, soveral inches thick, was blown to atoms by an explosion of gun cotton close beside it. The concussion of air would have killed anyone within 200 feet of the explosion. Diabolical Cruelties. Manila, Juno 1), via Hong Kong, June 17. El Commorclao has published a supplement expiating at great length ou tho "Diabolical cruelties practised iu the British colonies" and predicting u similar tyranny In the Philippines unless the powers intervene. Tonight almost all of the Spanish civilians are inside tho cily. The troops are n. uing the walls, aud the antediluvian iiiiiiiion aud gunboats are guarding the river. Admiral Dewey has consented that Spanish merchant steamers should remove the uou-combatants. The in* surgeuls exchange signals with the Americans day and night, while the Spanish continue shooting at shadows, constructing works which tbey admit will bo unavailing and lining every road with useless defenses. Besides this, iu every skirmish, di redly tbo retreat begins, the native troops dosort. The insurgents avoid disturbing tho non-combatants, and English women and ohildren are living peacefully and unhurt in the scene of hostilities, They find it unnecessary lo migrate. Cost ol Copper Mining, Speaking of the cost of producing copper uud its bearing upon the future of the copper market, a mine official says: Iu my opiuion it will be Impossible to much further reduce tho cost of miuing copper. Tho system now has reached au almost perfect state, and experiments whioh have been made recently with a view to still further reducing tho cost of mining, by using higher explosives, find that tbe results nro far from sntisfuotory, as com. pared with lowor grade explosives, inasmuch ns u sinullor quantity of rock Is displaced by tho higher grades than by tho lower grades. Tbe force of the high-grade explosives,.undoubtedly, is muoh greater, but it is expended so quickly that It does not perform as much work as do tho low grade explosives. If the cost of olectrical power could bo cheapened, it would make considerable difference to mines like lho Tamarack, for instance where a vortical shaft is sunk, say 5,000 feet, thon changed to follow tbe incline of tho lode, Tho danger from fire and the physical and mechanical difficulties nro loo grout to install a steam plant u milo under ground, and com- pressed air cannot bo used for hoisting from groat depths. Possibly tho future may develop a cheaper eleotrloal power, but until it does tho cost of mining copper or of handling a ton of roc!- will not bo materially reduced from prosout figures,âMining and Soi- enlillc Times.

Tho particular badger whose friendship I oneo enjoyed was a full-grown specimen of the California badger, which does not materially differ from tho European varioty, although it is rather more carnivorous. Even in their wild stato theso creature.-, uro exceedingly clever, und associations with civilization had so broadened thc roi low's intellect, that he was occasionally rather moro clever than was convenient. His cunning, his propensities for almost humau mischief and teasing, together with his enormous strength made him rather formidable when, us sometimes happonod, he succeeded in ontoring the houso, Ho soon learned to stand up on his brio!! hind legs and reach a hitch of tho door that lod from the house to the enclosed porch that was his home, und for awhile he revelled in destruction, Oneo during the temporary absence of the ruler of tho kitchen, he pushed the heavy kitchen range out into the middle of tho lloor, Largo bureaus, heavy trunks and beds wero moro foath or weights to this two-feet-long Samson, nnd he delighted to shovo about, Ho would insinuate his nose, or one paw, between a trunk and tho wall against which it stood, uud carefully work his way behind tho trunk, Then he would brace himself against the wull and push. If Lho floor was j uncui-peted a Liny cruel; between Lho boards afforded Lis sharp hind claws ' sufliciunt hold from whicli lo push, uud a carpet was his keenest, delight. ' It is au erroneous idea that a special law will havo to bo passod to pension the now voterans of tho Spanish-Ameri can war. Tho pension office is already at work upon cases growing out of this struggle. Ho who leaves both of his hands in tho war hospitalâthese members having boon destroyed in the line of duty -will enjoy au allowance of $10) a mouth, in addition to the other perquisites allowed by the government. Tlie samo will he given for tho loss of both eyes. Tho losrf of both feet will bo worth 372 a month. One hand and ono foot together will be worth &T6, a month. Ono hand or one foot will he worth 880, tho samo as given for total deafness. Should a stray Spanish bullet happen to gotlgo out ono eye, 817 a moth will bo paid, but if tho oye remains and nioroly tho Bight is lost, tho monthly ullowunco will ho 85 less. A thumb will bo worth 88 a month, an index linger 81, uuy othor finger 82, a big too SO and auy other too 82. Pensions allowed for death will depend upou tho rank of tho victim, the num. her of persons dependent upon him, nnd their ngos. Tho widow of an ou listed man will got 812 a month, and each of hor minor children 82, Widows uud orphans of naval and army officers of high rank will doubtless got hand some pensions from congress, If possessing sulllcieut influence and tho necessary recommendations.
