When Mr. Whitaker\nWright was under examination\nthe court was besieged by an interested crowd, and indeed there\nwere generally groups of people to\nbe seen in the sUeets without, discussing the latest turn of the evidence. Mr. Whitaker Wright\nhimself must be pronounced an excellent witnesB. He has a severe\nordeal in the clever cross-examination of Mr. Rufus Isaacs, K. O,\nwho spared nothing in plying him\nwith suggestions and other devices\nof a skillful counsel; and once or\ntwice some slight irritation of manner was shown in breaking into\nthe middle of a question with an\nunnecessary expostulation, such as,\n\"I don't know what point you want\nto make,\" or \"What has that to do\nwith the matter?\" On the whole,\nhowever, he bore the strain remarkably well.\nFor Fresh Salmon, Halibut, Herring\nand Crabs go to the B.

The boy had\nbeen converted to Christianity by\nMilo A. Sellon, a Methodist missionary, and in a burst of religious\nzeal denounced the mummeries o,f\nthe tribal icht, or medicine man\nThis act aroused the anger of tho\nsuperstitious old men of the tribe.\nRecently 14 native residents of\nj the village of Kluckwan died of\neonsump'ion and the icht spread the\n1 belief that the boy was in league\nwith the evil one through his\n; knowledge of the white man's religion and caused the deaths. The\ndisappearance of the boy from\nschool aroused the suspicion of Mr.\nSellon and he started in search of\nhim. At the outskirts of the\nvillage he found tracks leading to\na fresh grave. Digging down he\nfound the boy still alive, his bloodshot eyes rolling in insane agony,\nhis hair torn off in handfuls from\nhiB bead. His finger nails were\ntorn off in his efforts to escape\nfrom his horrible prison.\nThe boy was lifted from the\nSergeant Bradshaw made a smart\ncapture this morning. Thomas\nKennedy has been arrested for the\ntheft of sundry articles of stationery from the Allan hotel recently.\nPart of the goods has been recovered. It seems that Kennedy\nwae employed at the Allan for a\nshort time, and prior to his dismissal was enabled to glean son e-\nthing about the internal arrangements of that hotel, and so to plan\nhis scheme for getting into the\nsample room. Sergeant Bradshaw\nwas suspicious of tlie man as a\nlikely culprit and, some other circumstances confirming his suspicions, he promptly arrested him.\nOn the arrest the prisoner wits\nsearched, and he was discovered to\nhe in possession of six gold pens\nand ten fountain pons. There is a\ndozen of each missing, so that\nKennedy has probably succeeded\nin disposing of the remainder. The\nprayer books have probably been\nhidden somewhere, but the police\nare in hopeB of recovering them\nfrom a knowledge of the habits of\nthe prisoner.\nCHINESE\nREFORMS\nHow the Dowager Is Inaugurating the Much Extolled New Era.\nmines, and the Standard Pyritic 1 grave and carried to the village,\nSmelting company, for the pur- where he lived for several hours.\nchaBe of the latter's smelter at howling and crying out like a\nBoundary Falls, has been complet- maniac, finally dying from the\ned.

O. box oo_, Rossland, B. C\nTHE ORIENTAL COMMISSION\nThe Oriental commissioners have\nthis week ended their labors by\nsubmitting the results of their enquiry to the governmental Ottawa.\nThe work, it is stated, is a monumental one and ought to command\nimmediate attention. The Would\nsays \"ought.\" It does not hope\nthat it will for although Canada\npossesses some statesmen these\nmen are swamped by the politicians. We will hear some nonsense about the development of the\ncountry and the fear of antagonizing imperial aims by laws aimed\nat the exclusion of the Japaneze.\nNow the fact of the matter is that\nof the two nations, the Japanese\nand Chinese, the latter is the\nworthier from a commercial standpoint. So great is their commercial\nintegrity that they are employed,-\nto the exclusion of the Japs themselves, in the Land of the Rising\nSun, in all positions of trust. No\nwhite man resident in the Far\nEast for a term of years,and knowing both China and Japan, hesitates in giving the preference, in\nthis sense, to the Chinese. Japs,\nas our Fraser river fishermen attest, are a greater danger to the\ncountry than are the Chinese.\nAs for the development of the\ncountry, that a secondary matter\nto the development of the nation.\n\" What shall it profit a man if he\nshall gain the whole world and\nlose his own soul?\" says the great\nhook, and what shall it profit Canada if it makes itself the greatest\nproducing nation on the face of the\nearth and at the same time allows\nthe national character to deteriorate and its inhabitants to become\na mongrel breed, at the mercy of\nany strong race. If Canada cannot be developed without importing inferior races let Canada remain undeveloped; it will be better for the nation. We shall be\nreemen, not slaves; we shall be of\nthe rulers of the earth and not the\nruled. That there is no necessity\nfor this retarded development by\nthe exclusion of the Orientals the\nexample of the Antipodes haB already shown. The point is merely\nthis, that the first consideration is\nthe well being of the nation and\nwealth will come of itself unless\nAnglo Saxons degenerate on Canadian soil!\nTHE IMPENDING CONFLICT.\nThe following article published\nin the New York Iron Age from the\npen of Stuart Utterly, an English\nworkingman, who has been visiting\nthe United States and has travelled\nthe entire continent, is worthy of\nserious attention on the part of\nthose who on the one hand discourage unionism, and on the other\npoint to the methods of American\nmanagers with blind reverence.\nHe BayB:\n\"The disorganization of labor its\na matter of very serious moment to\ntho United Slates. During the last\ngreat engineering strike in England, when over 80,000 men were\nout for six montliB, not a shot was\nfired. There was not a Bingle riot,\nvery little disorder, and when\nclosed it left scarcely any ill feeling. The fact was that being well\norganized they were under good\ndiscipline, and being fairly well\nprovided with the means of subsistence were not driven to the desperation of starving men, hence\nthey were enabled to rely on a\npassive resietencc. One has only\nto ask what would have been the\nresult in the United States of a\nprolonged Btrike in one of the leading industries wherein a great majority of the men were without any\nmeans of subsistence and under no\nproper control.\nAs one who has had a long and\nvaried experience of men and things\nI Bhould tremble for the result, and\nto every mind in this direction lies\none of the serious dangers to America's future. In Great Britain organized capital and labor are both\nsufficiently strong to respect each\nother's opinions and to lend a willing ear to the voice of conciliation,\nbut from what 1 saw and heard in\nthe Btates organized capital\nis the giant, and organized labor the\ndwarf. It is pretty much the same\nin industry as in other domains of\nhuman enterprise\u00E2\u0080\u0094history repeats\nItself. In the early days of British\nindustry, when labor was unorganized, riots and disorder were frequent.\"\n\"I hope that I am mistaken, but,\njudging from what I gathered while\nin the states from sources well calculated to form correct opinions, I\nfear that the most momentous\ndanger before America is an individual (industrial) war, such as\nthe world has never seen before.\n\"The stronger .'13 trusts grow the\nmore powerless will labor become.\nAs it car iot obtain redress from\nCongress in a similar manner in\nwhich Britipli labor can from parliament, c) ud linding that tho few\nare growing enqrmousy wealthy\nwhile the many are steadily sinking into poverty, it may perchance\nstrike out fiercely, wantonly and\nmadly like a blind, enraged giant.\n\"It is not for me to suggest remedies or to indicate the path of\nprudence. That would be impertinent on my part. Allow me,\nh )wever, in closing, to say that\nnothing so strongly impressed me\nwhile in the Btates as the collective\nincompetence of labor and the\ngrowing and crushing might of the\ntrusts. Sooner or later that well-\norganized body will stand face to\nface with the horny-handed, undisciplined, and uncontrolled multitude of workers, and then the\nreal trial of strength will begin,\nand after that\u00E2\u0080\u0094the deluge.\"\nThe Arlington Hotel\npeiokert & Mcdonald, proprs.\nHeadquarters for Miners.\nFinest Wines, Liquors and Cigars.\nTELEPHONE 84.\nNice Furnished Rooms.\nCafe in Connection.\nGREENWOOD.

It will be submitted at\nthe meeting of the Associated Board\nfor fuller deliberation.\n\"In view of the coming meeting\nof the Associated Boards of Trade\nat Kaslo it may be as well to call\nthe attention of those interested\nand the public generally to the\nquestions raised by 'Fair play' in\nhis letter to the Rossland Miner of\nFebruary 5th.\nIt will be noticed that 'Fair\nplay' carefully avoids the main issue and attemps to mislead the\npublic by intimating that only\npoints in the controversy are:\nlBt. That Mr. J. J. Hill is a\ndangerous \"bogey man\" seeking to\ndestroy our Canadian industries.\n2nd. That there is danger of a\ncoal and coke famine in British\nColumbia.\n3rd. That the agitation is started\nby and is entirely in the interests\nof the Canadian Pacific Railway.\nAll three of which have an element of truth in them and are\ntherefore the more dangerous,\nwhile the real points of issue for\nus as Canadians, and particularly\nas citizens of British Columbia to\nconsider, are as follows:\n1st. Does the Crows Nest Coal\ncompany, controlled by Mr. J. J.\nJ. Hill, enjoy a monopoly in the\ncoal mining industry of the Crows\nNest fields of British Columbia.\n2nd. If so how does this monopoly affect us?\n3rd. If adversely, what, if Any\nthing, can be done to remedy it?\nFirst. The best reply to this is\nthe fact that no company is operated in the Crows Nest fields of\nBritish Columbia excepting the\nCrows Nest company, and that the\nonly independent company which\nstarted operations, and employed\nfor a short time about 100 men,\nwas compelled to discontinue\nwork, unquestionably due to the\ndirect influence of the Crows Nest\nCoal company. Second Has thi*\ncompany taken advantage of its\nmonopoly in this country?\nIt has been repeatedly claimed\nthat preference in orders is invariably given to customers on the\nGreat Northern road, and the only\nsafeguard in this respect has been\ndue to the fact that the Canadian\nPacific have refused to furnish\nGreat Northern cars until customers along the line of the Canadian\nPacific were first supplied. It is\nalso claimed that coke has been\nsold to' the United States smelters\nfor considerably less than $4.00;\nalso that coal has been sold for less\nthan $9.00 and $2.50 as charged in\nBritish Columbia; also that a decided preference is given United\nStates consumers in the matter of\nquality of both coal and coke. The\nmost of the coal shipped lo British\nColumbia consumers is the so-\ncalled mine run of an inferior\nquality, while the best lump coal\nis sent south. These are all serious\ncharges and have never been satisfactorily disproved, and now that\nthe agitation is on, bearing upon\nthis fact, the following telegram\nappears from Grand ForkB:\n'A telephone message from\nGreenwood discloses the fact that\nthe Greenwood smelter would\nhave been compelled to close down\non account of lack of coke, had it\nnot been for diversions which\nwere made to them by the Hall\nMines' and Granby smelters.\nThis is rather an interesting state\nof affairs in view of the fact that\nthere is more coke being shipped\nto the United States than to Canadian points, and emphasises\nthe fact of the invariable prefer-\nonce given to coal and coke orders\nfrom the United States institutions\ntributary to the Great Northern\nrailway.'\nIf the Crows Next is permitted\nto continue its monopoly, aro\nBritish Columbia consumers likely\nto fare better after the completion\nof the Great Northern road? It\nhas already been shown tbat the\nonly way in whicb British Columbia consumers have been protected has been through tbe action of the Canadian Pacific railway in refusing to place Great\nNorthern cars until Canadian\nPacific orderi were filled. As having a particular bearing upon this\nsubject may be quoted a letter\nfrom the Spokane Chronicle, signed D. Miller, second vice-president\nof the Great Northern, in explanation of his being unable to fill tbe\ncoal orders in Spokane.\n'I find upon investigation the\nsituation to be that the Canadian\nPacific have increased their order\nfor coal to such an extent that the\ncoal company is not able to fill\ntheir outside orders, and the Canadian Pacific will not furnish\ncars for outside orders until their\nown orders have been filled. Under these conditions the coal company is powerless. This company\nhas had an order for 40 cars of\ncoal per day, but same has been\nshut off. I do not think wecan depend upon any relief until we get\nour own line completed into the\ncoal fields, which, I regret to say,\nhowever, will not be in time for this\nwinter's business, as we do not expect to have the line completed before May next.'\nI think I have shewn conclusively from the above, first, that the\nCrow's Nest Coal company have a\nmonopoly of the Crow's Nest Coal\nFields, and secondly, that that\nmonopoly affects the interest of |\nBritish Columbia adversely. It\nnow remains to be seen what can\nbe done to remedy this state of\naffairs.\nThe agitation which was started\nsome months ago in favor- of competitive coal mining has already\nENGINKHRS,Firemen.
