"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/1.0188176/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

An undated dispatch has been received at Vienna reporting that'the allied troops arrived at Pekin, marching through the imperial palace on August 28, but it was known that this date had been fixed by the allied commanders I'or a formal promenade. There is no other news of any kind. The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily-Mail says thafc the Canton officials have been ordered to transmit all possible revenue to the north for war expenses, and thafc all pay of officials, from the viceroy down-ward, has been stopped during hostilities. The Vienna correspondent of tlio Standard telegraphs that he learns from a good source that tho Germans, Austrians and Italians will remain in Pekin after the .Russian withdrawal. Shang-Hai and Houg Kong dispatches express the utmost astonishment ab the idea of evacuating Pekin. The Daily News suggests, editorially, that Russia may have made secret terms with China behind the backs of the powers. The Standard expresses gratification afc the explanation that tho United States government does not approve of the Russian proceedings. The Daily Express publishes an interview with a New York Chinaman, Liu Chuah, who admits Li Hung Chang's \"duplicity and rooted antagonism to western ideas,\" but, thinks that the allies have no0choice but to negotiate with him or to ro- . tire from China forever. M. de Blowitz, the Paris correspondent of tho Times, asserts that the origin of Russia's decision to evacuate Pekin was her desire to frustrate- the-schemes of emperor \"William and-to correct the impression produced by the kaiser's speech, attributing to emperor Nicholas the initiative in the appointment of field marshal count yon Waldersee ; to the command of the international \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD* forces. murdered right and left, and do still.

Ou account of the crowded condition of the city it would be a good thing if one half of it wero destroyed.\" YU MURDERED FOREIGNERS Notes From Fekin. Pekin, Tuesday, August 2.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDPing Ching is endeavoring to open negotiations with the allies. Yu Hsien, governor of Shang-Hai, has sent a memorial to the throne asking for a reward for having invited fifty-two foreigners under his protection and for having afterwards killed them. In the provisional government established here each nationality administers laws according to \"its own ideas. There is a possibility of the Pekin dispatches being somewhat in error as to the identity of the Chinese official who is asking a reward for murdering fifty-two foreigners. A dispatch to the Associated Press from Chee-Foo, dated August 29th, said Yu, the governor of the province of Shen-Si, was reported to have invited the foreigners in that province to come under his protection. Ifc was added that about August 21st fifty foreigners accepted the invitation and all were massacred. Probably Yu, governor of Shen-Si, is identical with Yu Hsien, who is referred to in the Pekin dispatches as \"governor of Shang-Hai.\" Cigarmakers Win.

Berlin, September 3.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDNegotiations continue between the powers respecting the propositions of Russia. It appears that the portion of the proposal which contemplates the removal of the legations to- Tien-Tsin does not meet AA'ith opposition, bufc the proposal that the troops should vacate Pekin Avill not bo acted upou until after thorough examination of the case by other powers Avith a special view to the question of military advisability. Germany's program is to await the action of the other powers. Count von Buelow, the German foreign minister, has made a communication to this effect to the Russian ambassador, count von der Ostensacken. A high official of the German office said today, in defining Germany's position: \"Germany has not answered Russia formally, although she has informed her confidentially as to the views of the German government. Certainly we do not object to the removal of the legations temporarily to Tien-Tsin, as this would enable the members to recuperate from their recent hardships. So far as the answer of the United States to Russia is concerned, we now see it to be in substantial agreement with Germany's position.\" Most of the German papers are of the opinion thafc ifc is Arery doubtful if Germany can adopt Russia's suggestions, and. they deplore the evidence of a threatening split in the European concert. One leading Berlin journal asserts that emperor William, while conversing with a group of officers last Saturday evening, said: \"Under no conditions shall AA'e give up Pekin, not even if every army corps has to be mobilized.\" I beg to assure you I have never relaxed my efforts to urge thafc your release ought to be granted. I feel strongly, as I have felt from the start, that you ought never to have been convicted, and this opinion I very clearly expressed to Mr. Asquith, but I am very sorry to say, hitherto Avithout effect. Rest assured that I shall renew my representations to the incoming home secretary, whoever he may be, as soon as the government is formed and the secretary is ,, in a positioii to deal with such matters.\" HILL GOES TO WASHINGTON 7 -jd ~_I Phoenix a Great Camp.

Protection is no longer an issue betAveen the two political parties of Canada. There is therefore no reason why the candidates of either party should stand aloof from a movement which promises to greatly benefit the mining industry of. British Columbia. This is an issue wliich should not be lost sight of iu the present contest. The man who represents Yale- Cariboo in the house of commons has a constituency which embraces something like a dozen provincial ridings of constituencies. If he employed the whole of the interval between sessions in travelling over his constituency he would not havo time to familiarize himself with it during the life of al parliament. Yet there has been much less heard about inequalities in provincial representation than in Dominion representation. From the Atlantic to the Pacific the invalided' Canadians who have. returned from South Africa have received a fitting welcome. They are worthy of all. praise. While others gave from their purse the Canadian volunteers placed their lives in the scale. Without them even the splendid gift of lord Strathcona and Mount Royal would have been futile. Many of the brave boys will never come back. Canada cannot overpay those who ,do. Yesterday was Nelson's lucky day in sport. .

Speaking to a reporter of ijyhe Seattle Times, Mr. Davis said; ii* \"When I was iu Japan I was istruck with the martial spirit I saw everywhere exhibited. This was many months ago, mind you, when there were no signs of jfiinpondiug wars in which thero was |any possibility of Japan beiug in- ifyolved as there are at present. Jap ssoldioi'S were constantly drilling faiul taking thorough exercises cal- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDJtiiilatcd to better lit them for ser- Ifvice in the field. Not only wero |they beiug drilled in the ordinary 'manual of arms, but they were put ^through such exercises as scaling Walls, jumping down from high fembankments,swimming while bur- !|dened with guns and accoutrements, jetc. They were also drilling with jthe heavy broadswords that re- jfquire the use of both hands. Even Mthe school children were occupied Jfat playing soldier. The Japanese |seem imbued with a spirit of \"patriotism that makes them glory fin the defense of their country and [|in national achievements. In this ^respect they are possessed more Nearly of the American spirit than ||any other nationality I. met with |on my travels. I \" On the other hand, the Chinese |are conspicuous by the apparent ^entire absence of these qualities. ^John Chinaman lives for himself fjsolely. He takes little or no infcer- \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDfest in public affairs or trend of Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters, of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. Q.,\"and Dawson City, N. W. T. national events. I asked one who could speak some English, and who seemed above the average in intelligence, a question regarding the effect of the late China -Japan war. His reply was characteristic _of_his_people:__Me_no_eare;_he-no- pigeon of mine,' meaning it was no concern of his. \"Notwithstanding the proverbial density of China's population, I could not but notice that there are large areas of uncultivated land on the summits of the hills and up along their sides. Through fear of highbinders and other murderous orders, as well as through racial traditions, all, or nearly all, Chinamen sleep and live inside walled cities or walled enclosures. They go out to till the fields, to fish, to harvest their rice and other crops during the day, but return at evening to their fortified villages. They till only tho land of the valleys as a goneral thing. The fact of all the people of what may be a large agricultural district being bunched together in one walled enclosure or city is what creates the impression of the surfeit of population. In less than one square mile of one portion of Shang-Hai there are said to live over 500,000 people, which is equivalent to one inhabitant to every 55J square feet. \" The coolies get a mere pittance for their labor, but at the same time their labor is worth but little. Every man in the lower classes belongs to some organized body whose head, or president, controls him exactly as we would control a dumb beast, so far as hiring him out, collecting his hire and allotting to each a portion of his earnings. It is union labor reduced to an absurdity, with this difference: Here no union man is allowed to charge less than a certain agreed price, while there no one under fear of being killed by his fellows, dare ask or receive anything above the Imperial Bank of Ganada HEAD OFFICE.

For example,a European whose acquaintance I made in Shanghai had four horses. The rules of an order forbid-a member from taking care of more than one horse: consequently he was obliged to hire four coolies to take care of the four horses. \"The primitive methods employed in China are-astonishing^ to an American who grows up surrounded by the noise and hum of every kind of labor-saving ^machinery. When passing Canton river I saw a stern- wheel boat, some -sixty feet in length, slowly making its way up stream. There was no smokestack and no visible indication of motive power that turned the wheel. Imagine my surprise to see, as we came up with the craft, some fifty coolies ou a treadmill, exactly like the old-fashioned horse-powers once used to propel threshing machines and other machinery in tuiscountry. W. REINHARD, M. D. General Practice. - SPECIALTY: JSyo, Ear and Nose. The treadmill was geared up to the wheel and the fifty Chinamen were laboriously accomplishing about the work of one average American laborer; for .one man could easily run an engine to furnish power and find time also to chop wood necessary for fuel. \"While speaking of orders among the lower classes I must not forget to mention that even the beggars are organized. Thoy, too, have their president, who directs, all their movements and \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD to whom all receipts are turned over.\" \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Killed Three.

CITY LOCAL NEWS William Burns, public school inspector, is looking for school teachers holding provincial certificates. It is probable that several openings will occur in this district shortly. The city council meets tonight. One of the important items of business is the city engineer's report on the question of the electric light power dam. Howard Guest, the 0. P. R. brake- man who was injured a couple of weeks ago, is recovering rapidly at the general hospital. The local 0. P. R. officials were notified yesterday that the earl of .Minto and party would come down the Columbia river today en route to Rossland. The local civic officials have had no response to the invitation extended to the governor- general to visit Nelson, and a telegram was sent' yesterday to reach the vice-regal party at Arrowhead Captain J. W. Troup left yesterday for Robson to\" join R. Marpole, general superintendent of the Pacific division of the C. P. R., who is en route to Rossland. Mr. Marpole will be in the city tomorrow. W. A. Goodchap, night yard- master at the C. P. R. depot, left yesterday for St. Louis, Missouri. He has three months leave of absence. The plans and estimates for the athletic park at the terminus of the tramway line are practically complete, and a meeting will be held shortly to forward the organization of a syndicate to carry the plans into effect. The tennis club will formally wind up the season with a ball at Fraternity hall tonight. Steiner's orchestra will furnish the music. The committee in charge consists of Messrs.

He is returning to Spokane after an inspection of mining interests in the Slocan. The city roadvvork was not suspended yesterday owing to the desirability of having Baker street in shape as early as possible. THE NELSON TEAM WON Since then the Grand Porks men have been anxious to play in Nelson with a view to re-establishing the friendly feeling which had been somewhat disjointed by the misunderstanding. A game was to have been played yesterday, but when the negotiations were under way it was not understood that Labor Day would be generally observed as a holiday here, and as the Boundary men had to leave for home in the middle of the afternoon, the local men did not care to guarantee expenses for a morning game. The clubs will come together on Saturday, however, and a keenly contested game may be anticipated. Nelson has defeated all the teams in this district and Grand Forks is the fastest ag-, gregation in their district, which will add a zest to the match. At the Rifle Eange. The Nelson Rifle Association team won the match with Rossland at the rifle range by 44 points yesterday. The result is particularly gratifying in view of the fact that Rossland defeated Nelson a few weeks ago. The home team made unusually poor shooting on their visit, and it was thought that on the range with which they were familiar the.outcome would be very different. Yesterday's match demonstrated the accuracy of this prediction. \"It is significant also that the Rossland team scored fifteen more points yesterday, than they did at home. The Nelson team shot splendidly, making 110 more points than in the first match with Rossland, and won at every range. The Rossland team had the distinction of scoring the only possible during the match. This was put on by sergeant Harp at the 500- yard range. Shooting was commenced at 9 a. m. and wound up at 7:30 o'clock. Lieutenant Beer officiated as range officer. The visitors \"were-eritettaitfed^on-the grouncls and accorded the local men a hearty vote of thanks for the hospitality extended. The Rossland men left for home on the afternoon train. The match was fired at 200, 500 and 000 yards, seven shots each with a sighter, possible individual score 105. The scores were as follows: NKLSON. 200 Yds. W. T.

On Saturday a crack quartette of hunters, Dr. Quinlan, Frank D. Moore of the steamer Moyie, Charles Matthews and R. Williams, tramped twenty miles in the Goat River district with a complete complement of guns, ammunition and dogs. Tlieir aggregate bag was one solitary jacksnipe. The cricket'club rounded out the list of Nelson's successes in athletic spoi'ts on Labor day by defeating the Rossland eleven in a well-played game. The match was replete with interesting features, among the most prominent of which was the score made by F. W. Rolt, of Rossland, who put on 73 runs in the visitors' second inning, and thereby placed to his credit the highest score ever made in the Kootenays. He batted out three sixes, one of which went clear' across Hall street, and nine fours. Kennedy, of Rossland, also put on 48 runs in the second inning,making one six and five fours. Both men were finally bowled by Forbes, of Nelson, who earned oh\" the bowling honors. In the first inning he. performed the hat trick by taking three wickets with consecutive balls. In addition. to this, Forbes was effective throughout. Rossland went to bat first and started off with somewhat Of. a burst.. After the first three men were, dismissed,,-.. Nelson _had the game well in hand and retired the visitors for a total .of 55 runs. The. home team went to the wicket after luncheon, and struck a winning pace from..the,, start. Pollock and Heathcpte carried their bats for 28 runs each, while Forbes ^nd Brigstocke made 31 each, thereby clinching the game. The side was.retired at 3.15.^o'clock for 147 runs.leaving Nelson winner by a wide margin. . y Rossland went in for a second innings and proved much, more formidable than in their first. The Nelson bowlers were batted heavily and the aggregate of runs was large but as Nelson had hot time for another innings, the match was determined with scores of the first innings. The score was as follows : NELSON\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDFiKBT Innings. Pollok, b. Townsend '. 28 Sergcaunt,\"b.

At the time of the Dominion Day celebration a game alleged to have been arranged between the teams resulted in a fiasco, for which the Grand Forks men were severely criticized. An investigation disclosed the fact, however, that the Boundary team was in no way responsible for the bungle, and this was freely acknowledged by the local football men.

Some of the games were the best exhibitions of tennis seen in Nelson this season and elicited warm applause from the large gathering of club members in attendance.

The doubles paired off again, Severs and Walker defeating Dickson and Haines, while Williamson and Pollok defeated Markell and Dewdney. Honors were thus left even, each club having two games to its credit. In the singles, Williamson led off by defeating Severs in the most keenly contested game of the series. At all points the result was in doubt, but the Nelson man finally won out by sheer merit of his play. Walker of Rossland followed by defeating Pollok in a hand settihe players being well matched and in fine form. The events were tied again, but Dickson of Nelson solved the problem by defeating Morkell of Rossland somewhat easily in straight sets. No games in the club tournament were played, but the series is to be concluded in a couple of days. Norman T. Macleod now holds the medal for the highest authenticated, score ever made on the Nelson Rifle ranges. He put on 100 points out of a possible 105, at 200, 500 and GOO yards. The target scores were 34 at 200, 32 at 500 and 34 at 000. The local shot who excels this record is good enough to represent Canada at Bisley. HOTEL ARRIVALS.
