COMPLICATIONS IN THE SKELTON CASE Said to Have Left the Mainland With a Boy of Whom Theie Are No Traces. Tht movement for perfecting the amalgamation ol the various iran- chss of the lithographers' unions into one central body will mean the .merging of over 100,000 members of both iC. P. H. and 0.

It is rathor a good thing that thero uro too many -koton's running loose on the Island. He provided sensations enough the short timo ho was here, and the end of his case is still fur from boing in sight. Tho local onil provincial pollco tre still engaged in linking together the incidents of his rather memorablo cruise, and it would not be at all surprising if to tho rathor sordid and senseless cupidity of the story thore is yet to be added a noto of deeper and moro sinister crime. Skelton's story to tho local police was that he crossed the Gull in tho transfer barge. It is certain that lie did nothing of tho kind and it is protty nearly established that ho came across in tho very boat ln which he was caught. According to police advices from the mainland Skelton left Sochot in a small boat accompanied by a boy. Thore is little room to doubt that the boat in which he was caught in the Gap is tho boat in which he put out from the shores of the mainland into the Gulf. The question then is, whero is tlie boy? So far ns the evidenco has been linked togethor it would appear that Skelton had stayed around Van couver as long as it was safe toi him to do so. Then he mado up the coast and set out to cross the Gulf. Aibson.the light-house keeper, notio ed his arrival at tho Gap, and at once preceived that hc was a stranger. This latter fact along was sufficient to draw "Sticks" out into c long interrogation mark, and ho at onco set out In a boat to intercept tho man. Dut tho stranger clearly did not want to be spoken to, for ho pulled round a point. Mr. Albson did not trouble to go after him. From the Gap he seemed to have pulled in towards tho town. Ho was observed to pull in behind thc littio LABOR DAY SPORTS STANDARD CORRESPONDENCE island facing tho bunkers whore he lay for somo time. Ho thon pulldd ovor towards the shore but changed his mind and again pulled In behind the Island, where he lay perdue until dusk. His attack on the Big Storo, his capture, his escape, his re-eapturo with all their sensational features, have all boon recorded. There is a hiatus from tho Saturday until the Tuesday, then ho was again laid by the heels, to be fill-d in. During that time ho gave himself away again by raiding a cabin out around tho Gulf, 'lho man mado no discrimination in tho goods ie commandcrod and seems to have stolen out of pure senseless cupidity. Tho boat when it was overhauled and an inventory made was found to contain a most incongruous assortment of goods, some of which could be of no earthly uso to Skelton. Again when caught in tho Big Storo his haul cunslst.J of a suitcase, a few fancy summer vests, u collection of ties and a beltâsurely nn odd assortment for a man who was making a profession of burglary. Howevor, he did not have all the stuff in the boat. On Thursday Constable Cussidy made a search of the little island behind which he lay when he first enme into tho harbor, and the hunt was not without reward. Among the other things found was a good mattress, a quilt, a blanket, a towel, a maryed serviette and a volt-meter an instrument for measuring the voltage of an electric current. Moro significant still was a boy's shirt soaking <wet. Is Skelton merely a jovial lifter jpl goods or is he a hardened criminal? Was his visit here only an incident in a petty expedition of theft, or was it a part of a piratical cruise darkened by the shadow of a sinister crime? Time will tell. Special Trains Will Leave Nanaimo For Ladysmith at 10 p.m. On Monday Night. With a continuance of tho weather of these last few days the sports p.t Nanaimo on Monday should be a pronounced success. The Athletic Club has improved upon anythl.g it has hitherto attempted, and af Unmaking such perfect arrangements and undertaking such risk it would be too bad if fortuno did not smile upon their efforts. Nothing is wanting In the arrangements ho far as visitors from Ladysmith -ire concerned. A special train has beon secured which will leave Nanaimo .it 10 o'clock. This will enable Lady- mith people to seo the sports in the afternoon, while at night there are tho shows and for flight fans a promising bout at the Athletic Club between Vincent and Thompson. The field sports it may be said promises to be an unqualified success. Tlie first Marathon race to be held in this district will be se»n, and although the distance is only five miles it will doubtless suffice for runners nnd spectators alike. Thero are said to bo quite a large number of entries for the race and some of the men have it away down below HO minutes already. If tho times are right there is going to be a mighty fast race. Thero nre othor popular features, notably the boys wrestling tournament and the quarter mile relay race. There ought to havc been somo representatives from hero, but the sports are all apparently suffering from an incipient form of paralysis. For the credit of the town it is to lie hoped that the disease will be checked in time. However, with such a long list of attractions there will doubtless be the usual throng of visitors and certainly there could be no better or more enjoyable way of spending the day. BITTEN 69 TIMES BY BEAR MAN MANIAC TRIES TO HURL WA-KS^-O-ES. DAUGHTER TO DEATH. SITKA, Alaska. Sept. ..-His body °"<»B°.

Hoyden and a party ol friends went to Dodman Bay on a fishing and hunt Ing trip. While hunting deer in the dense woods, Royden became separated from hiB companions. He was making his way back to camp when unexpectedly there arose from the o: her side ot a big log a monster boar. He had no more than noticed the bear when it sprang at him. Roy den fought back, and this only urged the bear to bite deeper. Finally, exhausted, Royden gave up the fight nnd lay on the ground helpless. For twenty-five hours be was held a captive by the bear, and every time he made a move the lavage beast would give him a stroke with Its sharp claws, or once more sink Its teeth into his badly founded body. The bear went away after Watch Ing over the hunter a day and a night. Royden then crawled o.-er rocks and stumps toward his camp. After he had traveled a long distance he brought up at the bay, only to find that he was fifteen miles away from his camp. For seven days, from when he first became separated from his companions until the time he reached his camp alter his struggle with tho hear, he had nothing to eat but a salmon, which an eagle caught and left. When he got back to camp, his companions, among whom ls Captain Thornton, master of the steamship Georgia, dressed his wounds and took him to Sitka. At the hospital It was found he had sixty-nine woi'rfla ln his body, made by the claws and teeth of the giant bear. Dr. 0. 0. Grieve, the naval surgeon, who ls attending Royden, says the man has a fighting chance to live, owing to his wonderful powers of endurance.

People on the sidewalk 300 feet below stood in tense groups and watched thc struggle of the girl and tho maniac. Three elevator men ran to the glrl'B assistance. They fo und Miss Schilling dangling in midair, her lingers clutching the railing and her father biting them to make her release her hold. The man fought the rescuers with desperate fury. He was thrown to the floor and held until ropes.could be obtained to bind him. Schilliog was recently released from the Kankakee Insane Asylum. His conduct lately had been such that his family intended to send him back. As a favor hc requested to be allowed to take a "last look at the old town" from the top ot the tower.

A downtown building has been rented by the committee for the storage ot huge bundles of copies ol the platform, speeches ot acceptance, etc., ready tor transmission to twenty-five western states. The cost of shipping these documents ls expected to be ono of the biggest Items of the campaign expenses. ' Among the documents ls one entitled: "The quadrennial prophet. Solemn and unequivocal statements by Candidate Bryan." The Democratic national committee also announced tonight that it was ready to furnish all states with campaign material. The press bureau ls prepared to launch another chapter ot the campaign text book tomorrow.

When you stop to think of the number of years Richards & Pringle's Famous Minstrels have been making tho world laugh, you will admit that it is nothing short of marvelous, for of all branches of amusement business, minstrelsy is most beset with perils. Other minstrel companies havo sprung up, flourished for a time and then disappeared, but this remarkable organization have gone along the evon tenor of their way, and liko Tennyson's brook, bid fair to "go on forever It's a great show they are offering this year, and it's new from stem to stern.

Glen son, in papers served on White's slay today, says he has been prevented from collecting 160,000 due him aa counsel fees by deliberate misrepresentation. Gleason declares his services were worth $80,000, of which he received $30,000 and disbursed $10,000 by Thaw's order. He asserts Thaw knew from the flrst that his bill would be from $75,000 to $100,000, and in his statement of claims continues. Oleason says further that he was informed that Mrs. Thaw had set aside in her will $500,000 for Thaw's death. Instead of this, Thaw's for- henefit in the trials In case of her mer counsel says, Mrs. Thaw was to pay only as a creditor with a claim against Thaw two-thirds of the bills incurred, and that only one-third of them was to be remitted. The existence of this agreement between mother and son, Gleason says, wat concealed from him by Thaw. Should Gleason obtain a judgement in this suit he will simply be on tho same footing as others of Thaw's creditors. He will have no preferred claim. Ashtabula, Ohio, Sept. -L-tirsat fires which had been raging east of JelTerson -without much damage fcr days broke out with much accelerated fury last night and swept over many acres of fields, woodland and brush, threatening many houses and villages.

There are different degrees of cheap ues- as almost everybody ut one time and another has most painfully experienced. it has come to this nowadays that a commodity must be given the appearance of cheapness in order to sell. The article may bo good or bad, it may be dear at the price; but so long as purchasers are persuaded it is cheap, so loug will the article continue to sell. This is ono degree of cheapness in its very simple form. Thoro ure others, and horo is one of them with quite a talo to it. A Ladysinith man some months ugo wont up to Nanaimo to get a price for the printing of the programmes for the First of July, He visited the Free Press office liut ani aftor the job had boen talked over, received an olfer. He then went to tho other newspaper olllco, and, after going into the matter, received an offer which certainly looked cheap than that he had got from tno Free Press. Thero was, however, written contract, and hero is where the Ladysmith man lias come to grievous trouble. lie says that the Herald simply offered to do the job at so much a poge. Nothing was said about covers or anything else, and. of course, he reckoned tho cover as four pages, He went up to settle his account on that reckoning, only to find that as an artist with figures he was away behind. The Hernls man insisted upon being puid extra for the covers, although, according to tho Ladysmith man, no stipulation of this kind was mentioned when the contract was made. Of course, In tho viow of the latter it was a hold up. As a matter of fact it is a very aid business dodge. A price is mentioned that looks and sounds cheap; but when tho "extras" nre counted the real cost is exorbitant, Tho Lndysmith mnn would have done much better if ho had taken tho first oiler and ho has learned a lesson in smart business tactics that ho will not readily forget. He refused to pay the extra charge nnd n fow. weeks Inter received o miration threatening legal pro- cowlings. A fow days ago ho received a summons. Of course it was a quostion of his word against that of the proprietor nf tho Herald, and he wisely decided to pay rather than go to law. But be is more than ever of the opinion thnt it was a hold-up and he makes yot another to tho long list of Lndysmith people who hnve severed for all timo nil business connections with the Hernld.

Evans, and would not have again referred to the matter had we not thought that the grievance received rather scant consideration. Of course tbe position of the alderman was clear enough, and there was no mistaking tbe fact that they were actuated solely by motives of economy The fact is that the city treasury will need careful nursing in order to inuke it meet all the ordinary liabilities of the next few months. There is little or nothing left with which to meet emergencies. The emergency fund has already been swallowed up by the bush fires, and the coal from the distressed 0f Fernie. The appropriation for street improvements has already been exceeded, and the expenditure ot every dollar will henceforth need to be care fully watched.

Mr. Andrew Allan also of tho Shipping Federation declared that thore had .been extravagant and unnecessary expenditure incurred on the St. Law. rence route.

The divorced wife of the late Dr. Ackland Oronhatekha, son of tho former, who died suddenly last year claims an interest in the belongings of her former husband. This contention is opposed by the legal representatives of widow No. 3, who holds that she alone is entitled to the late husband's interest in the property.

Alderman in their remarks on Monday evening, but there are still other points to be regarded. The first Is that Warren Street, and particularly that part of it on which the Evans residence is located, is absolutely, thc worst in town. Now if we correctly understood Alderman McKinnell, Mr. Evans 'Was not asking to have his property drained. All ho usked for was that a passable road should 'o modo to the houso. Surely this is hot inn unreasonable request from one who pays his taxes the same as anybody else. Warren Street is a mystery, anyway. On the opposite 'Bide of the Avenue there Ib a splendid road, and Symonds Street will' compare favorably with any In the town. Yet right between, for the length of only two block-, is this section of stroot whloh does not seem ever lo havo had shovel or pick stuck into it. The Council may have no money to expend on its improvements, but there Is really no shadow of doubt that "It is really no shadow of doubt that it badly needs It and that its slalms havo been overlooked fa favor of badly needs it and that It claims so bad. There is one other point, nnd that Is the quostion ol lhe city's obligations to citizens who have built houses on city lots. The most that any of us expect is bare justice, nnd certainly tho present Council has earnos tly endeavored to live up to this motto. Of course thero may be a difference as to what Is fair and what is Just, but it seems to us, that hav ng sold a lot to a party the city cannot escape the obligation of making it habitable. II ls not lhe strict truth to any that Mr. Evans houso Is bullt'in a swamp, or that it is built ln a holo and tho only way to make it dry is to move tho houso and level tho hole up, What Is true is first, that there is something of a swamp from Even's corner to the Columbia Hotel, and seems thnt no Council has ever made any sorlous efforts to drain It.

BRITAIN TO REVIVE THE RINOTON CASE. BAR St. Louis, Mo., Septr '8.âThe British Government has taken steps to revive the "Lord" Barrlngton caso on the strength of data apparently pointing to the innocence of a man serving a life sentence in Jefferson city for killing Jas. P. McCann, the horseman in St. Louis County in 1903. Mrs. Lilian Gates who was identified with the evonta surrounding tho trial as the loading advocate in Barrington's fight for life will leave St. Louis Thursday with tho intention of again pleading his caso. She goes to Jefferson Olty with credentials from Thos. 'Ersklne the newly appointed British - Consul ln Ht. Louis. Mrs. Gates believes she is now ready to prove that McCann is alive and acting aa a bar-tender at No. 12 Harrison Street, San Francisco. However, a despatch from San Francisco says-tlm * is no raloon at No 12 Harrison Street in that city. James F. McCann, a friend ol Lord Fi-lmour Barrlngton disappeared - erlously in the early sumr... . 1903 and a few days later a body was found in a quarry a fow miles from St. Louis and identified os that of the missing man: Barrlngton was arrested on a charge of murdering McCann convicted ind sentenced to death.

The present intention ot Abel Aziz is to make a twr or three years pilgrimage to the Holyland after which he will return to Morocco. He wishes to allowed to reside at either Fez, Morocco City or Menquinez. Paris, Sept. 3.âThe Petit Re'pub- lique understands that a Frar.o- Spanlsh note regtodiriu* - -tees to be exacted from nai Hafid, which was despatched to all the French diplomatic agents last nijht, will be presented to the signatories to Algcrias account today. Under these conditions says the Petite - publique, "Negotiations have been opened on the question of recogniz- atlun of Mulai Hafid and tbe German note becomes objectless." The morning newspapers unusually expressed indignation at Germany's disconcerting duplicity. L'Action says that Germany's pro- tonsions at present revealed, aro so r.rovoki_g that the French Government could tolerate them only with humiliation. The newspaper organ ol the i_- trtiue right and left parties ' unite in more or less open admiration of the astuteness of Germany attrlbu- ing all the trouble to the policy ol the "Lamentable plchon" whereby in the eyes of the Islam France's influence is associated with Abel Aziz, while Germany is associated with Mulai Hafid. Teheran, Sept. 3.âThe department of Dr. Vassal, the German consul here for Fez which has caused a sensation in Europe, seems to have produced a general impression among the Moroccans that Germany ia the first power to recognize Mulai Hafid and the only power friendly to him. London, Sept. 8.âIt wae learned today that the British Government is holding aloft from Mulai Hafid the new Sultan of Morocco for the present but that she proposes to recognize him In due time. British officialdom is irritated by the course adopted by Germany which it regards as an attempt to gain influence over Mulai Hafid by stealing march on the other powers. Consultations are now going on between Great Britain, France and Spain and there la no doubt but that Great Britain and France will act together and probably insist that Mulai Halid give promises ti carry out the obligations of Morocco to tto powers before they recognize hia. Berlin, Sept. 8,-Tto action t Germany concerning Morocco it was explained today, ia limited to the suggestion of signatories of the Algtciral that the time has asrlvcd to recognize Mulai Hafid as Sultan of Morocco. Official wonderment is expressed at tht' agitation of tto French and English newspapers over the occurrence. Ttoy act aa If Germany had done something outeide of her privileges, Instead of somethlnj that OM of- the European powers must do if the Moroccan situation Is to be cleared up. Mulai Hafid haa informed the powers on several occasions that to would fully observe the terms of Algociras agreement and he doubtless wll) repeat these pledges if to do so Ib regarded at a necessary preliminary- to his recognition. - Gorman trade in Morocco la suffer ing from the continuance of disorder there it was explained today and Mulai Hafid and his Lieut. Governors ha>o failed to recognize the rights of persons undor Gorman protection' Consequently the German consul at Tangier, Dr. Vessel has gone to Fez to straighten out theso difficulties.

Paris, Sept. 3.âAlthough the tono of the French jress in Its comments ou the Moroccan sifuntiun is still somewhat excited, the belief prevails In official circles that Germany's action unless followed up is not likely to lead to a grave International un- cident.
