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.

The only casualties stiffeied by the expedition were two German soldiers killed. With the exception of the formal calling off of the troops, the only comment made by the court is a brief notice in the official Gazette to tho effect that had strong enough manifestations beeu made through the pleuipoten caries, the troops would have been ordered to withdraw before. This if considered a censure, would be manifestly unjust because Li Hung Chang aud prince Ching had been urging the withdrawal for a month. However, the notice is so brief that neither plenipotentiaries regard it as a reflection on his actions, thinking.that the court means that the powers did not make strong enough representations. As a matter of fact, if the reflections upon the plenipotentiaries were intended, Li Hung Chang and prince Ching would be humilated beforo the foreigners' aud could no longer be considered representatives. The Germans killed in connection with the expedition were members of a scouting party who went for beyond\" the border. local lodge and Nelson encampment attending the Congregational church in a body. \"The Principles of Odd- fellowship \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD friendship, love and peace,\" will bo the theme of Rev.

When the commission was'ushered into the blue parlor, where the president, secretary Root, general Wood and assistant secretary Singer were awaiting them, the introductions were made by general Wood.. The greetings were cordial and of a formal character. Senor Diego Tamayo, chairman of the committee, who is a member of general Woods' cabinet, on behalf of the commission made a brief address to the president and the latter responded.

It passed the stage of 58 feet here at midnight, and the condition for almost 200 miles up the river are equally disappointing. t The rise here yesterday afternoon was at the average rate of half an inch per hour, but during the night the rate increased, owing to tlie rising of the tributaries below the Kanawha, especially the Big ^Saindy, which had previously been^falling. While the limit of the present flood may be reached today, it is feared that the new conditions may keep the river ** about stationary until there may be a second flood. The worst conditions are reported at Huntingdon, Calettsburg, -ronton* and Portsmouth, and the smaller points in that district have reached the point of great distress. Mining Records.

It is claimed he and McPhillips and Tatlow and Garden and Murphy have. been secretly scheming for some time to encompass the downfall of the government, and the announcement of the government's railway policy was to be the opportune time. When that policy was announced the opposition considered it in caucus, and a row was the result. Smith Curtis of Rossland and E. C. Smith of East Kootenay opposed the policy, and the others are said to have favored it. This became known, and the Helmcken crowd thought it best to lie low for a time in order to remain in full fellowship with the government. This is very distasteful to the stalwarts, who do not believe that it is good policy to keep within the party men who are ready to knife it at the first opportunity. It is a notorious fact, now that the question is no longer an issue, that. nearly every Liberal in the house was opposed to placing any restrictions whatever in the bill chartering the Crow's* Nest' South-1 em railway, and it is also' a >note-_ -wuruiyraeir ciiav~rew^XJioerais are opposing the Victoria, Vancouver & Eastern crowd in their schemes to down the Dunsmuir government. The Helmcken resolutions are the lever that is to be used to bring this about. They read as follows : Whereas, it was announced in the speech from the throne that it would be the policy of the government to subsidize a line of railway from the' Coast to the Kootenay country, should the work not be undertaken by the government as a public work:V And, whereas, the' interests of the province imperatively demand that such steps should be taken as will ensure that', railway construction should be Commenced during the present year and pushed to a speedy completion ; And whereas there has. been a strong and almost universal expres-' sion of public opinion in favor of the construction of the said railway by a' company which will operate independently' of the Canadian Pacific railway \"system; Therefore be it resolved, .that in- the opinion of this house, the exigencies of the' situation demand that at the earliest possible moment such steps should be taken by the government as would enable a company of proved financial ability, and having . independent eastern connections, to build such railway as an independent competitive line with the.C P.

They also want the subsidy to be paid over as 20 mileseetions of the road are completed. With them it is strike out every safeguard in the bill in order to insure their company a free hand. The members who favor this policy are: Helmcken; McPhillips, Murphy. Curtis, Tatlow, Garden, Smith of East Kootenay, and Hay- ward. ~ The members who did not favor any material change in the bill are: Dunsmuir, Eberts, McBride; A. W.

Callahan betrayed ho emotion when the boy declared he was one of the abductors, but a cynical smile played faintly over his features. Attorney Haller cross-examined Cudahy for the defence. Witness admitted that he had gone over the case with general Cowan with reference to his testimony. The only direct view he had of .the dark man's , face, was when he had approached him. He admitted that at that time he was pretty badly scared/ In. answer to a direct question, the boy declared he was as certain of the identity of Callahan as he was of the identity of his father or mother. John Rabbe, a carpenter living about a block from Callahan's sister, Mrs. Kelly, testified that he knew Pat Crowe, and that Crowe called at Mrs. Kelly's where Callahan was living, about twenty.tim.es between October 23rd and the^time of the kidnaping.

With a government claim of four per cent, as a first charge - against the grossearningsof assisted roads there- is not much fear of over bonding. This will mean that the railroads when built will only be required to pay interest' upon what they actually cost, instead of upon heavily watered stock. It will mean that they will probably pay from the start, as most other roads in Canada would do if they were not saddled with the load of earning dividends upon - money which went into the pockets of promoters instead of into construction or equipment.

Apples loaded with strychnine were thrown near him and he ate one. An hour later he laid down and was in terrible agony. A rifle shot settled him.

WILL AMEND THE TARIFF In Deference to Demands. London, April 20.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe house of commons had a dull sitting last evening devoted to tlie discussion aud formal passage of the budget resolution. The Irish members made an ineffectual attempt to get the tea duty reduced from six to. four pence. The proposal was rejected by a vote of 221 to 140. A similar fate was ,reserved for the attempt of William Redmond to get Ireland exempted from the tobacco duty. It is now asserted that an attempt will. be made to induce the chancellor of the exchequer to modify the coal duty by threats of a great strike of miners. The second reading of the finance bill has been postponed for a ..fortnight, and the Liberal party will utilize the delay to the utmost in working up an agitatiou against the budget. The opposition leaders intend to raise a full dress debate on the second reading, and then, if not before, the chancellor of the exchequer, according to the Daily Telegiaph, will announce a substantial modification of his original pro:' pos'als as to the sugar duty, in deference to the views of the grocery trade that the duty will unfairly tax canned fruits, condensed milk and the like. \" Afraid of Tolstoi's Picture.
