Captain /.alinski thus describe, tlie celebrated gun:\n\"Briefly, tho pom-pom is a one-\npounder automatic gun. It uses metallic catridges similar to those used\nin small arms, but of a caliber of 1).\ninches,throwing a shell weighing one\npound. The cartridges are pluoed In\na loopod belt und this is attached tu\nthe gun. By a simple operation one\nof the cartridges is inserted in the\nbarrel and is fired by pulling tho trigger. After this thc force of reooil is\nutilized to continue the firing automatically as long as belts ol cartridges are supplied.\n\"Attempts Were made to get this\ngun into the Hritish service, but it\nwas objected to on thc ground that\nthe proj.ctile was unnecessarily large\nto kill a man aud not large enough to\nbo considered a piece of artillery. It\nwas stated that an entire battery of\nthese guns could be quickly put out\nof action by a single piece of field\nartillery, and that there was no place\nfor them in either service, lind it\nbeen stated previous to the South African war that a British Held battery\nof artillery could be put out of aotion\nby a single 1-pounder in tbo bands of\nhalf a dozen furmers, the statement\nwould have been regarded us rldlcu-\nlons. There Is no question that a single piece of Hold artillory would stand\na very good chance of putting a\nI-pounder Maxim automatic gun out\nof action, on a perfectly level field\nwith no opver. But the Boers did not\ntight, in that way. They did not come\nout into the open to fight. With a\npiece of ordinary field artillory tbe\ncharge is such that sufficient dust and\ngas are blown into the air to make\nthe gun visibloj even when using\nsmokeless powder. It is difficult, also, to conoeal a piece of artillory,with\nIts horses and other accessories.\nMoreover, a piece of artillery recoils\nand has to be, brought back into position and re-sighted after each discharge.\n\"With a pom-pom the recoil Is all\ntaken up inside of a stationary casing\nand but little of it:, force tends to displace thc carriage. Tbe gun does not,\ntherefore, budge when it is firing.\nThe gunner takes deliberate aim,\nguessing at the range. He fires\nabout five shots, which can be done\nby holding the trigger In the pull position for about one second. As soon\nKs tbe projectiles explode he is able\nto observe exactly where he is hitting,\nand quickly rundjusts his sights.' After a few trials he is able to explode\nthe projectiles, on the exact spot required, and as the recoil does'not disturb the position of the gun,he can go\non firing as long as ho wishes.\n\"It is stated that the Boers seldom\nfired more than twelve shots at a time\nwithout waiting for the gas to blow\naway. If they fired more, their position might be discovered by a oloUd ef\ngas und dust, sufficient to make them\nvisible. It is now admitted that one\nof the chief surprises of the South African war was the pom-pom,and British officers very soon found that it\nwas the most troublesome pieco of artillery with which they hud to contend.\"\nSTOPPED A MUTINY.\nChinese Sailors Conceive a Scheme of\nKilling tho Whites.\nVancouver, B.

Robert Frew at\nthe Manse,\nIt Is not a very simple thing for a\nbank to change its name. The Merchant's Bank of Halifax will discard\nthe name it has borne since IStiO and\non Tuesday, January 2nd, next, will\nopen for business under the name of\nthe Royal Bank of Canada. To the\nordinary layman this seems to be u\nsimple matter, but to the staff of the\nbank it is a gigantic undertaking\nwhich makes end-of-the-monthB, and\nhalf yearly and yearly statements and\nbalances mere child's play in comparison. A Miner man started out yesterday to see just what it meant to\nthe Bank of Halifax to become the\nRoyal Bank of Canada und be learned\nsome very interesting facts.\nTo start with a bank won't change\nits name unless it has a very good reason aud unlesB it has considerable to\ngain by so doing. That's where a\nbank differs from lots of young ladies. In this caBe there were two reasons at least. There are other Merchants' Banks, the Merchants') Bank\nof Camilla, and the Merchants' Bank\nof P. & I., besides the Bank of Hull-\nfax. The similarity in the names often led to confusion. Then tbe name\nMerchant's Bank,of ll.ilifu.\ wus too\nlocnl to really indicate the national\ncharacter of the institution. A bank\nthat did business iu the frozen Yukon,\nthat hung out its sign under the shade\nof Cuba's tropical trees, that oompet\ned for business with the big concerns\nof New York City, that transacted\nbusiness with the miners in the\nState of Washington, and tbe fishermen of Newfoundland, that had fourteen branches in Nova Scotia, nine iu\nNew Brunswick three in Quebec, one\nin Ontario and eight in British Columbia, should boast a name with a\nmore general application than the\nHalifax appondugo lent to its old one.\nAnd so it was decided to change it.\nThe selection of the new title wns u\nvery happy one, for the Royal Bnuk of\nCanada is a nume to conjure with.\nBut the bunking laws of Canada\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\nbanking laws thnt are surpassed by\nthose of no other country in the world\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDhad to be considered. A special act\nwas prepared and it had to go\nthrough all the stages of tho Dominion\nHouse of Commons and tho Senate and\nthere permission was given for the\nbank to adopt a new title, It being\nshown that it bad outgrown its old\none which did very well thirty-one\nyears ago when the founders got to-\ngether.in Halifax and formed the Institution which has now reached dimensions undreamed of then. At the\nsame time permission wus given to increase the authorized capital to 83,-\n000,000, Just here it might bo said\nthat $2, .00,000 of this is paid up\nand the roserve Ib 81,7110,000, which\ngives the bank practically 8.1,700,000\ncash to trade upon.\nHowever costly and backward securing the legislation was it proved\nto be just the beginning of tho work.\nFur the change to go into . effect\nwith the new century meant untold\nlabor for the officers and staff of the\nbank. Every customer of ever}' one\nof thc forty-one branches in the north\nPacilio or the tropical Atlantic and\nall the way between, had to have a\nnew pass book, every account had to\nbe transferred, an entire new supply\nof stationery distributed, nnd a hundred othor things that the layman\ndoesn't know about and wouldn't\nunderstand if he did. But mure interesting than that branch of it\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDto\neveryone outside of the staff\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDis the\nmatter of circulation. The entire\ncurrency of the bank has to be\nchanged as all bills that go out after\nthe first of the year must bear the\nnew name. The Miner man's quest\nled to an inspection\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmerely an Inspection\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDof the new bills yesterday.\nAll money is more or less beautilul,\nthe degree of beauty depending on the\ndenomination of the bill In question\nand how much more of lt we have.\nBut, if one with as very limited experience In bundling bills an a news-\npupcr man, can give an opinion, it\nmust be said that tho Royal Bunk's\nnew bills are decidedly beautiful and\ntaBty. The designs on the front and\nback und the marginal coloring are\nvery pretty. Allegorical ligureB und\nthe Bank's coat of arms help to make\nthe bills attractive, but of course the\nohief attraction is the fi, 10, no, 100 or\nwhatever it may be that gives the bit\not paper value. When the new sign is\nhung out with tho dawning of the\n2(lth Oentury and the bank opens for\nbusiness, these new bills will be the\nonly ones banded out. As the old ones\ncome In they will be kept and sent\nin to the head office at Halifax or to\nthe Montreal branch and there confined to the flames. Gathering of tbe old\nbills will go on for years and will\nnever be completed for in a circulation of 81,085,000, which tho bank\nnow has, quite a percentage is destroyed by fire, Hood and other causes.\nThe bank will be ahead this amount\nbut must always protect itself against\nthe return of these bills for they are\npromissory notes and remain a debt\nof the bank until paid. Then all the\nchecks drawn on the Merchant's Bank\nof Halifax, and perhaps not presented\nfor a long time must be paid by the\nRoyal Bunk.\nThere is a great labor in preparing\nthe nearly 82,000,000 of new bills. The\nlaw states that on. signature of Bome-\none authorized by the bank must be\nou each bill. Mr. George Kydd, the\nNelson manager,haB to convert worthless bits of paper into 81.10,000 worth\nof five and ten dollar bills by affixing\nhis signature to them. This has been\nhis recreation for the past few days\nand few millionaires have been making money as fast as he. The circulation is limited to the paid up capital\naud most bunks keep it well up to\nthe mark, for while the bills are out\nthe banks have tho use of the money\nthey represent. A man could present\nany amount of the bills at the head\nolliee and demand gold for them.\nThey are only legally redeemable ut\nthe head oflice but any branch would\ngive gold for them on demand.\nWith the changing of the nume the\nbank inaugurates a system of pass\nbooks new to the West. It is the\n\"Customer's Progressive Pass Book.\"\nand so arranged that the balance is\ncarried out with every deposit or\nwithdrawal, so that the customer can\nalways see how he stands, and it acts\nas a constant check between the bank\nand the customer. The new checks of\nthe Royal Bank are printed on paper\nspecially prepared with tho bank's\ncoat of arms as a water-mark. It is a\nsafety paper that becomes white when\nany erasure ia attempted to alter the\ncheck.\nThe Royal Bank will commence tho\ncsntury in a veiv prosperous condition. It's last annual statement was\nsuch as would give confidence to\nthe depositor and make glad the heart\nof a shareholder.\n'r.i.' liabilities of tne bank to the\npublic on the 31st of December, lHliu,\namounted to over 813,000.000; their\nloans and discounts to over 810,aOO,-\n000, and other accounts in proportion.\nThe statement for this yeeir will\nshortly be made public and a compar\nison will undoubtedly Bbow that thc\nwonderful work of progress of this\ngreat institution has cuntinued unabated.\nTHE STANE AND BROOM.\nCold Weather Infuses Curlers With n\nDesire to Oo at It.\nThore was a meeting of the executive commlttoo of the Nelson Curling\nClub this morning and final arrangements were concluded with the Tramway Company for Ico at the rink during the wlntor.

He is now almost recovered and does not look for\nany porraanent harm from bis serious\nwound.\nEvery town in Canada that boasts\na ruturning hero from South Africa\nis extending a right royal welcome\nwith the exception of Nelson. Two are\nreturning tomorrow or nexi day and\nnothing haB been done towards a i.-cn-\nerul welcome to them. The Nelson\ncompuny of Rocky M lain Ranger-\nmeets tonight in the armory and a\nmilitary reception will bo arranged.-\nBut it seems too bud that the citizen a\ndo not do something to honor tbe boys\nwho havo fought the country's battles\nso bravely in South Africa, lt will bo\nknown tonight when Dickson and\nSwitzer will reach Nelson.\nThe meeting at thc armory tonight\nis a very important one and Lieut.\nBeer requests that each member of\nthe company consider it his duty to\nattend. At the same time it Ib desired\nthat ull the company's rifles still out\nbe returned to the armory. This\nshould have beon done long since.\nThe Nelson company will shortly\ncomplote it.i establishment of officers\nby the appointment of a captain and\nsecond ^lieutenant.\nLieut.

They would be disappointed\nand disgusted if she should good-\nnaturedly accept the Davis amendment\nand the Foraker amendments to say\nnothing of further and worse changes\nthat may be made before the Senate's\nrevision of the treaty is sent to the\nPresident. They arc conspiring to\nkill the treaty, and the cunal with it.\nThat is the motive and intent of the\nSenatorial representatives of the Panama Canal interest and of tho transcontinental railroad interests. The\nminor factor in tho opposition is the\nrampant 'Americanism' of a few bombastic ignoramuses,who take the same\nview of the canal that Mr. Bryan takes\nof tho free coinage of silver\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat we\nmust go about it without the aid r\nconsent' of any other nation. They\nwant a canal, but they want it to be\nwalled by American forts nnd covered\nby Amerieun cannon. But it is tho\nenemies of the canal that are chiefly\nresponsible for the mischief wrought\nupon the treaty. This, of course, is\nwell understood in oflicial circles in\nEngland as it is by the general public\nhere. The matter thus becomes a National and purely domestic scandal,\nabout which tho English have little\nor nothing to say.\"\nORJK\nTo My .\ners\nOUR NEXT COUNCIL.\nIt is now a matter of a few weeks\nonly\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDindeed, almost a matter of days,\nwhen the ratepayers will be called upon to elect a new City Council. Do\nthey propose to allow themselves to\nbe taken by surprise, and to be called\nto the duty in a state of unprepared-\nneBS? Is the choice of the next batch\nof Aldermen to be left to any cbanoe\nnominations that may be made? The\nquestion of the Mayoralty will prob-1\nably not cause a great deal of worry.\nEither candidate will make nn excellent head of the Council and chief\nmunicipal administrator; but the usefulness of a Mayor depends largely on\nthe support he receives, and an unfriendly majority, disposed to thwart\nhis will, can do more mischief ia an\nhour than can be repaired in a month.\nFor two years the City has been favored with good Council-. The members\nof them have not been exempt from\nfaults, but in intention and for the\nmost part in performance they have\nbeen true to the interests they were\neleted to serve. If not always wise,\nthey have at least been honest. That,\nafter all, is the main thing. Nelson\nwants honest men in charge of its\naffairs. It may seem an ungracious\nthing to aay In this season of good\nwill and charity to all, but it is a\ndisturbing fact nevertheless that there\nhave been evidences of a disposition\nto engage in municipal looting, and\nstrong, honest men are required to\nguard against the growth and development of bo noxious a plant.\nUp to the present time only one citizen of Nelson haB announoed a desire\nto serve the town as one of its Aldermen. We have heard nothing but\ngood1 of him, and if elected he would\nno doubt give satisfaction. Bnt why\nseek new men each year? It requires\nexperience in municipal affairs, as in\nothers, to attain to the highest degree\nof usefulness. Old servants who have\ngiven satisfaction should be prevailed\nupon if possible to retain their trusts.\nThe members of the present Council\nhave done well; with their experience\nthey would do better another year,\nand it is therefore all the more desirable to hold fast to them. We sug\ngest that they be re-elected in a body,\nand this without any disparagement\nof the new candidate, Mr. Patterson,\nwho, we are sure, would gladly step\naside in favor of BO simple a method\nof choosing our next Council.\nSome one has calculated that Rossland and the Slocan will together contribute |7O,S0O under the new mineral\ntax, and adds that thc sum ia not a\nlarge oue considering the value of the\nmines, lt is a lurge ono, however it\nmuy be regarded, but especially large\nand vexatious when it is considered\nhow fow the regular producing mines\nare. But it is not so much the extent\nof the tax as the idea of it that is\nthe most mischievous in its results. It\nis as natural to man to shun taxation\nas it is for sparks to liy upward. At\nthe very time when it is most desirable to encourage the employment of\ncapital to develop the great mineral\nresources of the Province, this tax is\nshoved into -the fuces of those who\nare expected to supply it. It was short\nsighted policy, besides being unjust\nin its operation, und tbe Government\nresponsible for it, whatever they may\nthink of themselves.are not to be con\ngratulated on their achievement.\n\"The Tribune wishes the editor of\nThe Miner a Merry ChristmaB,\" flays\nour morning contemporary.
