In answer to questions by the judge, the accused said the offence with which he is charged occurred in March, 1S96. At that time a reward for his arrest was offered, and he seems to be under the impression that if the Russian government were informed that he has no money left it would not bother going to the trouble and expense of taking him back. If, however, after receiving this information it still desires him to return, lie will go voluntarily. Thematter was adjourned until Thursday. Behring Sea to be Patrolled.-.

I took issue with lord Charles Beresford, and I think I made my position plain. Now a new aspect has been presented, and we are faced with the position which Italy's action in China has made possible. It would seem now that the United States will be forced to\"take part in the deliberations of the nations concerning China's' commercial existence. If the United States is to protect h'er vast commercial interests, and sees fit to seek a voice in deciding this important issue, Russia will be the first to welcome her and co-operate in finding a just and satisfactory solution of the difficulty.\" Chicago, March 8.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA special _ to the Times-Herald from Washington says: The Italian request touching China was spoken of today in a new light. The action of king. Humbert indicates that Italy is the first government to recognize officially the new status of the United States among the powers. While information in the possession of the authorities shows that Great Britian is diplomatically opposed to theltalian demands, it is apparent that Great Britian must, within a very few days, either distinctly reiterate her intention to maintain the integrity of China aud support the open door policy or announce a reversal of that policy.

He went abroad two months ago to secure the assent of the English stockholders in the Reading Railway, Company -to a'plan that the Vanderbilts, the Pennsylvania ' Railroad * Company, Maxwell of the New Jersey Central, and W. II. Truesdale of the Delaware & Lackawanna had formulated for &/ consolidation of all the great eastern coal interests' under one management. Mr. Morgan, when seen soon after his arrival, was very reticent regarding his work in Loudon. It' is understood that his efforts have been successful. From the men with whom he has talked and who have been in cable touch with him during his absence, a general explanation of the plan was learned. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been brought into one combination. A prorata division of the coal output and of the profits has been outlined, though months will be required to finally adjust all thede- tails. It is estimated that fully $3,200,000 will be saved annually in operating expenses.

On the Jennie mine, near Fort Steele, a strike of two feet of clean copper ore, giving high values, was made last week. This should be good news for the Hall Mines smelter, but Fort Steele is on the line of the Crow's Neat Pass railway, and all ore shipments over that road must go to the Canadian Pacific smelter at Trail. There were ten bills which in some way or other referred to mining (exclusive of coal) passed at the recent session of the legislature. The first one prevents aliens from taking up placer claims in the Province. The second defined the duties of the department of mines, and legally provided for the appointment of a minister as head of the department. The third amended the Bureau of Mines Act and provides for the examination of assayers. The fourth gives free miners the right to \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDprospect.over all lands in the Province, whether owned by railway companies or ^otherwise. The fifth, while amending the Companies Act, has an important bearing on mining, for.a clause is inserted in it providing a penalty for fraudulently withholding a report. The sixth amends the Inspection of Metalliferous Mines Act. Among other thiugs it provides that it jshall be the duty of tne inspector, in case !a mine is in a dangerous state, to post up jin a conspicuous place at the \"mouth, a 'notice warning the workmen. Further, owners must give notice of any serious laceident, and no persons may be employed underground for more than eight hours in twenty-four. Explosives must not be ithawed underground in any mine. Here are a few other important sections: \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD Any adjoining Owner may apply to the inspector for the purpose of learning whether such mine is being worked into his territory, and upon such application being made the inspector shall examine the plans of such mine, aud if necessary examine the workings of sucb mine, and make report thereon to such adjoining owner as to whether his territory is or is not being encroached on. l Not less than seventy-five cubic feet of air per minute shall be made to pass through every mine for each man and benst employed therein. - *L \"' AH permanent buildings for housing boilers, engines and machinery .shall be erected at a distance of not less than fifty feet from the mouth of any mine..

'A chain ladder twenty feet in length shall extend from the bottom of the wooden ladder to the bottom of the shaft. tificate of improvements has been granted and recorded, shall make application to the minister of mines, enclosing his certificates of improvements, the crown grant fee of $10, the mining recorder's certificate, Form I, the field notes and plat, and affidavit, Form G, within three months from the date of such certificate of improvements, and in default of such application having been made within such time, such certificate of improvements shall -lapse and become absolutely void. Any person who has performed work or paid money in connection with a mineral claim as provided by Section 24 of the old act shall be entitled to recover from a co- owner, by suit in any court of competent jurisdiction, for the proportionate part of said work or money which should have been done or paid by such co-owner. A fee of $10 be paid for relocations. Sub-section (2) cf Section 3S of said Chapter 135, as enacted by Section 9 of .said Chapter 33, is hereby amended by inserting after the word \"action,\", in the fifteenth line thereof, the words \"(unless such time shall be extended by special order of the court upon cause being shown.)\" The act then shows when survey is to be counted as work done on claim, and abolishes the power uuder the old act to make regulations for relieving against forfeitures. The schedule of fees to be charged is amended as follows : For every free miner's certificate for a period for less than a year, a proportionate part of the fee charged for a certificate for a year. For recordiug every abandonment, including the memorandum to be written in the record, $10 instead of $5.50. For a crown grant, $10 instead of $5. For abstracts and other certificates such fees as the mining recorder may consider fair, subject to appeal to the. minister of mines. _The minister of mines may provide for keeping a register of all free miners' certificates issued in the Province, and for all persons issuing the same to make returns to him for that purpose. Such register shall show number of certificate, date of issue, aud time for which same was in force, and shall be properly indexed. Any person shall be entitled to search same upon payment of a fee of 25 cents for each name, and to receive a certificate as to any name under the hand of the deputy minister of mines or.any person appointed by .the minister of mines for that purpose,- uponpaymeut of a fee of 50 cents.

This act comes into force on May 1st, IS99. - \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD J ' TROUBLE OVER A CONCENTRATOR AT THE COMSTOCK MINE. The Mine Management Claim the Values in the Ore Are not Saved; the Builder Says He Can Prove They Are. There is a heap of trouble at the Corn- stock mine, on Four-Mile creek, Slocan district, and the rumors attaching thereto are legion. The source of the difficulty is the operation of the concentrator. In itself the plant is one of the most modern and complete in the camp, and has in connection with it an electric light outfit, the whole being operated by water power. Tom Mitchell, the father of concentrators in the Slocan, contracted for the erection of the building and the installation of the ~ machinery. According to the agreement, he was to \"run the plant for one month before turning it over to the company. The ' time will expire on the 11th, and to datf\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD the mill has been runuing very satisfactory. However, the Comstock company claims the mill is not saving the ore as guaranteed, as no less than 40 per cent is lost in the tailings. Mitchell, on the other hand, alleges that the loss-is only from four-tenths to six-tenths of one per cent, and produces assays to prove it. A lawsuit will probably result. This is the gist of the trouble as given by one of the men lately employed, for, since the difficulty arose, 21 men have been discharged from .the mine. The property has been extensively developed and has large ore reserves, clean as well as concentrating. Some four or five carloads of concentrates have been run through the mill, crushing *\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD (5 to 1, and the product is being hauled to Silverton for shipment. It may $-et be found, so report saitb, that the ordinary concentrating plant will not result in'the successful treatment ot the Comstock ore. SLOCAN LAKE MINES. Are in East Kootenay, Too.

The seventh bill amends the Mineral Act and contains the following among other-sections': A free miner's certificate .shall run from the date thereof and'shall expire at midnight on May 31st next after its date, or Some subsequent May 3lst. Only one person or joint stock company shall be named in such certificate. The i'ee: payable therefor shall be as provided in the Schedule of fees to this act. Free miners' Certificates may be issued by any gold commissioner Or mining recorder. In case any person should allow his free miner's certificate to expire he may obtain from the proper officer, upon payment of a fee of $15, a special free miner's certificate. Such special certificate shall have the effect Of reviving the title of the person to whom it is issued to all mineral claims which such person owned, either wholly or in part, at the time Of the lapse of his former certificate, except such as under the provisions of the Mineral Act had become the property of some other person at the time of the issue of such special certificate, and shall also operate as a free miner's certificate until midnight of May 31st next after its issue.

Council Bluffs is a clammy looker, ancl all that, but there's one good thing about it; they don't run you in out there if you strike the place in the dead of winter without an overcoat.

I missed my overcoat a lot. There wasn't a soul at the station, and the waiting rooms were locked up tight. I looked through the waiting room windows aud saw a big baseburuer, redhot all around* the* bottom, standing in the middle of the rodm : but it's heat wasn't for me. When my train pulled out and left me stauding there all alone in the snow, overcoatless, with thin summer russet shoes on, aud a thirst that, up to that hour, had been plenteously assuaged for fully three weeks previously\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwell, I was almost sorry that I had not been good. I might even venture to say that, upon mentally turning over parts of my past career, I almost found myself deficient in some few respects. I had to keep a-moving or freeze to death, and so I struck up town. I had to make the first track- in the suow myself and it wasn't easy walking. Now, it was pretty cold, and I remembered that my underwear wasn't particularly warm. I got a short, grisly chuckle, anyhow, out of that suit of underwear 1 had oh wheu I thought about it. It was silk, and it had cost me $4.0.. I had got fonr suits of it Dawson City, Yukon District. while I was doing my eight months' sober act in Chicago, and ou velvet, and I didn't know what had become of the other three suits. The grim humor of the blooming idea got a ghastly laugh out of me even as I ploughed along through the snow that black morning in Council Bluffs. \"The first gleam of light I caught sight of came from a couple of oil lamps in a corner rum factory that was just opening up at about 5 o'clock. I didn't have the dime, but I went in, anyhow. There was a young fellow with a good-natured mug starting the ball a-rolling behind the bar. He looked me over when I walked in and over to the stove. At that I guess I must have been a good deal of an apparition to him. I had on a black cutaway coat, worsted trousers, the summer russets and a black derby, and I had about three inches of snow all over me. \"'Been doin' a job?' the young fellow behind the bar asked me. \" 'Job?' said I, for I didn't understand him exactly, being a heap dazed with the cold and things. \" 'Where did you leave your tools ?' he asked, and then I-got next to his meaning. I told him I hadn't got around to the cracking game yet. \" 'You look like you'd been left at the post, at that,' he said consolingly, and then I told him I had just got in. \" 'Nice place, when you say it fast\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe Bluffs\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDlike hell, ain't it?'he said, and I soon found out that he was from Chicago. '\"Have a few!'he said then, showing up a tall bottle, and when I told him I wasn't buying, he said that he hadn't supposed I was, aud passed the bottle up anyhow. Decent duck, wasn't he? Then he went to the back room and cooked his breakfast of steak, fried eggs and pota-, toes, and invited me to jump at it with him. If any member can name a town where he got better treatment than this tliat I had chucked at me from the go-off at poor old Council Bluffs, it's up to him to'spell it out. \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD;. \"By the time I got through with that rbreakfast I had reconsidered my vague idea of going down to the Missouri and hoppingjnbetween jce floes. ., I was about \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDYeati y^t06v%*pifoutu: and^fCke 'a^wal ks^iloiind^ Mit^as\"Itheh^longV?aft\"eriday :aV*custbt*dWca.^^ %he; bark\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDeep\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD;fof?intWan\"\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDb^ \"Gaelc\"^^ HEAD OFFICE, TORONTO D.

So I went to one of the dressing rooms,-strlpped aud put on the gutta percha undersuit that mesmerists' assistants wear to protect their hides from the pins and needles that are stuck into them, and resumed ray clothes while tlie mesmerist sat aud gave me directions as to what I was to do. \"That was a hot night's work, but I don't think I depart from the truth when I state that I made au emphatic hit both with the audience and the mesmerist, who was a pretty smooth old guy. All I had to do was to act dense and obtuse before I was plunged into the hypnotic trance, and then to liven up and do whatever the mesmerist told me to do. The worst of it was the onions, turnips and carrots that I had to eat with apparent relish, and the kerosene oil that I had to swallow with the gusto of a hypnotized man. I also found that my gutta percha suit was vulnerable in two or three places, especially when big jay.s from the audience borrowed hairpins from their girls and prodded me with them. I managed to get through this end of it without giving the snap away, however, and the mesmerist warmed up-to me a heap as the show went on. .

Then he Svengalied me again and handed me a banjo. I began to rattle off 'The Marriage Bells Are A-Itingiu.' and this liked to have driven the Council Bluffers in the audience wild with enthusiasm. After I had played a repertoire.of banjo music under the hypnotic influence the mesmerist handed me a guitar and asked me if I could do anything with that; this, after he had snapped me out ot my banjo-playing trance. I did the sheepish act over again all right, and then, when he had put me into a trance some more and handed me the guitar, I went at it and played 'Silvery Waves,' with variations, and then sang 'Down on the Farm,'with accompaniment. Then the mesmerist snapped me awake and I shambled down among the audience and assumed my part of looking opaque and imbecile. \"After the show the mesmerist beamed upon, me, told me that I double discounted his chief assistant, handed me a $5 bill, and told me that I was engaged for the Middle Western and Southern circuit.

I left Council Bluu^wearing bells and smoking a two-for-a-quarter cigar, and a month later, when our show was down in Little Rock, the oily old mesmerist fired his treasurer and installed me as house- counter, in addition to my duties as assistant fakir. I was with him five mouths, and when I quit him in New Orleans to take a job at sheet-writing with a friend of mine who was making a book out at the Crescent City track I had $1000, all the gig-lamps out of hock, and the sassiest gait of any man within 14 miles of the Gulf of Mexico. \"Council Bluffs is all right for the variety show knockabout people to abuse, but it's an ace with me.\" P.

The establishment at Niagara Falls of a branch of the great textile manufacturing firm of Alexander Morton & Co., of Scotland, illustrates the value of cheap power to a community. Had it not been for the possibility of obtaining a plentiful supply of power at a low rate, Niagara Falls would not have been selected as the location for this industry. Some town in the Eastern States would probably have secured the establishment. This instance provides a complete refutation to the contentions of those who argue that cheap power has nothing to do with the location of large industries, and proves conclusively that any center possessing large quantities of power stands the first chance of securing large manufacturing concerns of this kind.

Loss About Two Thousand Dollars, Which is Covered hy Insurance. Afire yesterday, morning completely destroyed the Great Northern hotel, on A avenue, Kaslo. The upper portion of the buildiug was unoccupied, the bai'-room alone being operated. The fire started in one of the upper rooms, but the cause is not known. The bartender was asleep, and had to be roused from the outside. He was the only occupant of the building. By hard and skilful work, aud with an abundant supply of water, the fire was confined to the building, although another buildiug immediately adjoined it on one side and the unoccupied theatre comique building was in close proximity on the other side. There was au insurance of $2000 upon the building and furniture, $1000 in the Canadian Insurance Company of Winnipeg and $1000 in the Lancashire of England. The bar furniture and fixings remain in the building in a much damaged condition. The hotel was bu.ilt in 1893 for a Mr. Glencross. It afterwards passed into the hands of George Williamson, who sold' it to Mrs. L. V. Roberts, now of Nelson. '.It was bought later by Robert Foran, who was conducting the bar-room at the time of the tire. An iuquiry-will be held as to the origin and cause of the fire. Their Stories Did Not Agree. .. The case of Howe vs. Keleghan developed a striking conflict of testimony. It was an action brought by Howe, a hotel keeper at Three Forks, for the collection of an alleged debt of $50.70 on account of liquor sold, meals supplied and money lent. The plaintiff went into the witness box with his books of account and showed entries made which he said represented the amount of the defendant's indebtedness to him. Up to this point the plaintiff's case appeared good, but when the defendant took the witness stand he swore positively that he never received the goods mentioned, did not owe the plaintiff a cent, and that he was not in Three Forks at the- time the transactions were-alleged to have taken place. The case was therefore dismissed. W- CI McAnn and W. A. Galliher appeared for the plaintiff and R.M. Macdonald for the defendant. -\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-\"-. \"- W ,V V : '---\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-::;:':\"'-\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD-;\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD>' 3irt !
