"The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune."@en . ""@en . "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0188148/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

Washington, D. C, August 13.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Tho American commander, iu a China despatch of just three words received at tho war department late tbis afternoon, sent a thrill of exultation aud expectancy throughout official quarters by announcing liis arrival at Ho Si \"Wu only 33 miles from Pekin last Thursday. The last heard from him before this was at Yang Tsun which had been captured after a hard fight, aud word of his movements since then had been eagerly awaited. On Thursday he was 18 miles beyond Yang Tsun. Lang Fang, the place where the ill-fated Seymour \"expedition met its fate and turned back, had been left behind. The battle of Yang\" Tsun was fought on the sixth and the advance on Ho Si Wu was accomplished on the ninth, a march of 18 miles in three days. . This was four days ago, and afc tho same rate of progress Chaffee is even now fairly within striking distance of the walls of Pekin. It is a consummation which the war department had awaited calmly, aud, stirring . as the news was that the American force was,now nearing the gates of the imperial city, secretary Root and adjutant general Corbin evinced no surprise as it accorded wifch calculations, although the advance has been more rapid than was expected. The despatch from Chaffee, which contained so much in so few words was as follows: . \"Che-Foo, August 13.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDArrived -Ho Si AVu yesterday. (Signed) Chaffee.\" Word of the advance soon spread throughout tho officials' quarters. In the enthusiasm of the moment a report got abroad that .this was ^the day for the actual arrival at Pekin. But the war department -had.uot a'word of the advance be- yond'Ho Si Wu. At- the rate of progress, six miles a day, made from Yang Tsun to Ho Si Wu, about 24 \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD miles .would, have been covered m \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the last four-days, and.up. to,today, this would still leave the international forces nine miles from Pekin. Viewed from any standpoint the adv-**ice to Ho Si Wu' was of the utuic>st importance nofc only strategically, but also iu showing that communication was open back to Che-Foo, that the expected opposition from the Chinese hordes had not been suflicient to prevent the steady forward movement and in the influence it would exert upon the Chinese government. Brief as the dispatch is, ib contains much information beyond that specifically contained in its few words. Although it is not stated what force has arrived, the war department accepts ifc to mean that this is the international force which first took Pei Tsang and then Yang Tsun. lt has gone steadily forward along the leffc bank of the Pei river, keep- |\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD=-ingon-the:maiu-road-which-sku'ts the river bank. Afc Yang Tsung the railway crosses the river aud branches off to the west. '..-Now the forces have left the railway far in the rear and are depending upon the highway and the river. Ho Si Wu is a place of considerable size and the largest town between Tien-Tsin and Ching Chia Wan. The latter place and Tung Chow are the two cities of considerable size in the line of advance after leaving Ho Si Wu. As ifc has taken five days for general Chaffee to report the; advance to Ho Si Wu, it is evident that wire communication is not open to the front. This was hardly to be expected, and the safe arrival of the message afc least shows that a certain measure of communication is open. Shortly after this despatch arrived, another message from general Chaffee, far more lengthy, gave the melancholy result of the Yang Tsung battle. The casualty .list was given in detail with the additional, information that the dead had been buried at Yang Tsun, and that the wounded had been gent back to the hospital at Tien- Tsin. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe reply of the United States government to China's overtures of peace was made public early in the day, showing the firm and final -position that had been taken. Ifc developed during the day that the reference to \"the powers\" employed in the American reply was not without a distinct meaning, Exchanges between the various powers have been going on con-, stantly, and as a result the officials had the satisfaction of knowing late in the day that the position of the United States had the approval and support of all the great powers. Several of the foreign representatives, including baron Speck von Stcrnbeig, the German charge d'af- faires, and Mr. de Woolant, the Russian charge d'affaires, had extended conferences with Mr Adee during the afternoon. This added to the assurance of unanimity a- niong the powers. 5 pairs. GUN CLUB'S ANNUAL SHOOT Next Saturday's Program.

London, August 14\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD4 a. m.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe British consul at Canton, says the Daily Telegraph's correspondent there, has received the following message, dated August 6th, from sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister at Pekin: \" Our situation here is desperate. In ten days our food supply will be at an end. Unless we are relieved a general massacre is probable. The Chinese offer to escort us to Tien- Tsin, but, rememberiug Cawnpore, we refuse the offer.. There are over 200 European women and children in this legation. The Shang-Hai correspondent of the Daily Express, wiring yesterday, says: \"The allies at noon yesterday were within twenty miles of Pekin.\" General Chaffee's report, which is the only authentic news received here regarding the advance, located the international forces about forty miles from Pekin on Friday, and it seems probable that the Shang-Hai report is optimistic. It is scarcely likely that the allies could advance twenty miles in so many hours. A Yang Tsung dispatch', dated .August J7th, giving details regarding the capture of the place, says: \"The Russians and French held the left, the British the left centre, the Americans the right centre and the Japanese the extreme right. The British and-' Americans advanced on the village at a rapid rate for 5000 yards under a severe shell and rifle fire. ' The. Russians opened,-and the British-American advance became a , race for positions, culminating in a - brilliant charge. \"The heaviest loss of the day was sustained by the Americans, the 14th infantry having .nine killed, sixty-two wounded and several missing.

The incident emphasizes the necessity of that close co-operation which is not easily obtainable without a single commander and a general staff.\" Official advices from Yokohama, dated yesterday, say that the allies propose to. advance on August 7th to Nan Tsi Tsun, between Yang Tsun aud Wu Seng. The Japanse suffered no casualties at Yang Tsun, but the -official report says th\"ey-had-300-kilIedat\"Pei\"Tsangt The Daily Mail's Sfc. Petersburg correspondent declares that the taking of Aigun has sealed the fate of the rising in northeastern Manchuria;' He adds: \" No prisoners were taken by the Russians. Wholesale massacre was the order of the day, and, when the battle was over, .the Cossacks rode over the field, killing the wounded with the butt ends of their guns.\" Once more the press of England remarks upon the ability of the American ^government to secure news ahead of the rest of the world. \"It is to general Chaffee,\" says the Daily News, \"fchat we are again indebted for news from the front. Not a single despatch from sir Alfred Gaselee has thus far been issued by the war office.\" Commenting upon the American reply to the Chinese overtures, the Daily News says: \"The reply is more conciliatory than that of M. Deleasse and in some respects it is a little ambiguous. Still, its substance is the same. It may be observed that the United States government does not seem to separate itself from the allies.\"- which is much below par. All the great ammunition firm's are working night and day in their efforts to meet the government's wishes. Bussia the Cause.

BRITISH SOLDIERS STARVE Cursed by Bed Tape. London, August 4.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD[Correspondence of the Associated Press.]\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA. G. Hale, representative in South Africa of the Daily News, is the latest war correspondent to attack the methods and the red tape of the British war office. He says: \"Let me tell you how our army in South Africa is treated by' the .incompetent people in the good city of London. I pledge my word as a man- and a journalist that every written word is true. I will add nothing nor detract from, nor set- down aught in malice. If my statements are proved false then let me be scourged with the tongue and pen of scorn from every decent Briton's home and hearth forever after,\" for he who lies about his. country at such an hour as this is, of all traitors the vilest. \" I will deal now particularly with the men who are acting under the command of lieutenant general Rundle. This good _ soldier and courteous -gentleman lias to hold a frontage line from Wilburg via Senekal, almost to the borders of Basutoland. His whole front, extending nearly a hundred miles is threatened constantly by an active, dashing,-'-determined enemy, an enemy who knows the country far better than any English fox-liuntiug squire knows the ground he hunts oA*er season after season. .\"To hold this vast line intact general Rundle has to march from point to point, as his . scouts warn him of the movements of the tireless foe. \"General Rundle's task is a col- :ossal one, and any sane man would ! think that \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD gigantic efforts would \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDbe made to keep him amply supplied wifch food for his soldiers.. But such is not the case. The men are absolutely starving. Many of the infantry 'men are so weak that they can barely stagger along under the weight of their soldierly \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDequipment. They are worn -to shadows and move with weary, listless\", footsteps. People high up \"in authority may deny tliisj but he\" who denies it sullies the truth. This is what the soldiers get to eat, what they have been getting to eat for a long time past and what they are likely to get for a long time to come unless England rouses herself and bites to the bone the people who are responsible for it: \" One pound of raw flour, which the soldiers have to cook after a hard day's march, is served out to each man every alternate day. Each day he eats one pound of biscuits. In this country there is no fuel excepting a little ox dung dried by the. sun. If a soldier is lucky enough to pick up a little he can go to the nearest water, of whicli there is plenty, mix his cake without yeast or baking powder and make some sort of a wretched mouthful. He. gets one, pound of- raw meat daily, which nine times out of ten he cannot cook, and there his supper ends. \"What has become of the rations of rum, of sugar, of sugar, of tea, of cocoa, of groceries generally? Ask afc the snug little railway siding, where the goods are stacked and forgotten. Ask in the big stores in Cape Town and other seaport towns. Ask in your own country, where countless thousands of pounds' worth of foodstuffs lie rotting in the warehouses, bound up and tied down with red tape banj dages. Ask\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDyes, ask it, but don't stop afc asking\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDdamn somebody high up in power. Don'fc let some wretched underling be made the scapegoat of this criminal state of affairs, for the taint of this shameful thing rests upon you, upon every Briton whose home, privilege and prosperity are being safeguarded by these famishing men. The folk in authority will probably tell you that general Rundle and his splendid fellows are so isolated that food cannofc be obtained for them. I say that is false.\" Hale goes on to tell of a foraging trip he and a fellow-correspondent made 18 hours out of general Rundle's camp, without escort, securing plenty of supplies, and without show of'molestation. He censures the transport people for their lack of activity. Baptist Missions Demolished.

Alfred Hine recently purchased the city stables, the intention of the council at the time of the sale being that the city should build new stables in the park reservation. The how stables wereT never built, and now Mr. Hine wishes the council to vacate the building or pay a rental of $10 per month. It was resolved that the purchase money, $25, bo extended Mr. Hine. Alderman Irvine drew the attention of the council to the condition of the city wharf, a considerable section of the deck of which has floated away during the high water. On motion of aldermen McKillop and Wilson the city engineer was authorized to repair the wharf and post notices warning all drivers to proceed no faster than a walk on the wharf. This wa.s carried, the understanding being that if the 7 latter regulation is not observed conveyances would be barred from the wharf altogether.

Another effort is being made by the city council to straighten out several unsettled matters of business between the corporation and the provincial government. The first of these is the matter of title to the foreshore or so much of it as has not been already acquired by the Canadian Pacific railway. The matter of the vesting in the city of the title to the foreshore, east of Ward streot, was brought to the attention of the Semlin government last year, but before any decision was reached on the question the government was defeated. This matter has now been laid before the present administration,1 and in the event of favorable consideration the city will come into possession of what will some day be a valuable, asset. Another matter which.will be urged upon the government will be the vesting in the corporation of the title to the present park Strike on the Quilp.' Some wonderfully rich ore has been found in the Quilp, but its extent is still unknown, says a Republic, Washington, dispatch. Work is progressing satisfactorily. The manager is in fine spirits and he has good cause for it in the excellent condition of the mine. Recent assays have run into the thousands. All the machinery of the. Tom Thumb. compressor plant is in place and in complete running order. The sump is being cleaned out, and tomorrow morning everything will be in readi- -ness-to-prosecute-work-on\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmuch- more extensive scale than has been possible before. The station has been timbered and drifting will be pushed both north and south on the ledge, in the new shaft. A crosscut will also be pushed to connect with the drift in the old workings from the bottom of the 150-foot level. The mine is looking as well as its most ardent friends could desire. 5000 Shares Molly Gibson Stock for Sale H. R. CAMERON Baker. Street, Nelson. Agent and Appraiser.

To what extent theocracy controls the Chinese government and may have played an important part in the present uprising in China is shown by Mr. Charles Denby, late \' United States minister to that em- *>pire. He affirms that no nation in 'the world in its administration of the law acknowledges so directly its responsibilities to the deity\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthat is, to the Chinese deity, Shangti, who is not an entity, like Jupiter and Jehovah, but simply pantheism, Shangti representing heaven, earth, and the terrestrial gods. The attributes of the Chinese deity differ radically from those of the Christian deity. Mr. Denby saw an altar in the Temple of Heaven struck by lightning. The next day the officiating priests were decapitated upon the ground that heaven would not have destroyed the temple unless a sin had been committed which had to be punished by the state. By the same line of reasoning the insane are punished, though it is freely admitted they do not know what they are doing. They are slowly and deliberately cut to pieces, and the severity of the punishment is justified by the statement that \"the deity, would not have made the man insane unless he or some one connected with him had committed a crime, aud that crime must be punished.\" Such a deity the emperor not alone worships but asserts the right i to interpret all his decrees. When he ascends the throne he says : \"I receive charge of heaven's great Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay/ U. S., Atlin, B.C., and Dawson City, N. W. T. concerns.\" He is also, the high priest of the nation, and at every winter solstice worships this nonentity, Shangti, in secret, performing the ancient rites and inviting him to banquet with his imperial ancestors, as was done 6000 years ago. Imperial Bank of Ganada - HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO. Capital Authorized $2,600,000 Capital Paid up $2,468,603 Rest $1,700,000 D. R. Wilkie, General Manager. E. Hay, Inspector. Shangti worship is the religion of the state, and the state is all-powerful. The people have three religions, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, or Rationalism. Among the upper and learned classes Confucianism is most popular, because it is not a religion at all, but only a philosophy. Mr. Denby says Confucius admitted that \"he did not understand much about the gods, and that the obligations of man lay rather in doing his duty to his relatives and society than- in worshiping spirits unknown. 'Not knowing even life,' said he 'how can we know death?'\" From which it would appear that Confucius was a sensible old philosopher, and that it would be much better for China if it were governed by Confucianism instead of by the Shangti theocracy. If the powers in the final settlement can manage to abolish the Manchu dynasty, and with it the Shangti theocracy, there will be more hope for China. With an administration controlled- by such a religion as that of this extraordinarily perverse deity there is neither hope for a settled state of affairs as regards foreigners nor any encouraging prospect for missionary enterprises. Who the Culprits Are. Toronto Star. The report received at Ottawa that private J; A. Hopkins has been sentenced to ten years' penal servitude in South Africa, for a treasonable offence, will be heard with painful surprise by the friends of the young man.

His home is at 58.Robinson street. .He enlisted with...the Royal,Canadian Dragoons about two years ago, and was. among the first to volunteer for active service with the second contingent.

This column has from the first consistently combated the theory, rather strenuously maintained in; some quarters, that, copper must-go. the way of other metals and suffer severe declines in value. Such a view has the support of analogy, aud it cannot be deuied that speculation has played a ccrtaiu part iu holding up copper quotations. But the \"bulls\" have had nature on their side, and the.basic facts have- been with them. They are still with them, so far as we can see, and in our judgment the talk of \"liquidation\" in copper and a sudden descent to old-time prices is nonsensical. Our copper production for .the fi rst six: months of the year iucreasr, ed 10,000 tons, or eight per cent over last year, while our exports in the same period, increased nearly onerthird., The foreign demand for. American copper is insatiable, and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwe are. how exporting, regularly two-thirds of our total production. Sports Tend to Good Morals. A year ago the school principals of Stockholm, Sweden, were instructed to encourage the gathering of pupils in the public parks after school hours. for the < purpose of playing outdoor games, and several of the larger boys, in, each school were officially selected to lead the games. The innovation proved popular, and many boys who formerly were in the habit of spending their late afternoons smoking cigarettes and learning bad habits.on the street corners may. now.be seen each evening playing baseball, football and other athletic games. Tho board of education of Stockholm thinks so well of the experiment that it has recently appointed three men teachers to the places of superintendents of outdoor exercises. It will hereafter, be their duty, to get together all pupils who are^ willing at the close of school and' lead\" them to the parks, where, under the auspices of the board, games will be provided daily during the season from 4 to 8 p. m.
