"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/1.0189010/source.json"@en . "application/pdf"@en .

Touching the work of the present commission Mr. Clute said he was not iu a position to venture any opinion except that every effort was being made, to bring out all the facts bearing upon the effects of Chinese and Japanese competition in the field of labor, and also the bearing such employment had upon the industries of the province, and he thought that in this respect the work of the commission had been thorough. Commissioner D. J. Munn, who is attempting to hold up. the end of tlie Chinese and Japanese- em^ \"ployers, gives ono the impression that he has got the -worst end of the argument. He said, however, that he was doinghis best to present the employers side of the question and he would not have undertaken the work unless he intended to make the best of it. In referring to the evidence which had been submitted to -the commission Mr. Munn said that there could be no question but that public sentiment was unanimously opposed to Chinese and Japanese immigration and competition. This he regarded as quite natural, since upon sentimental grounds people naturally preferred to deal with those of their own race, but when it came to considering the question iu its bearing upon the industries of the province Mr. Muun said in his opinion the evidence submitted was by no means one sided. Chris Foley,-the labor representative on the commission, expressed himself as highly pleased with the way in whicli the. evidence was coming in. He was not prepared to be interviewed, however, but did not mind expressing it as his opinion that the commission would result in much good.7' He aud commissioner Munn had it pretty hot sometimes, and he did not think his brother commissioner could be as well pleased as himself at the way things were going. Charles Wilson, K. C, who is watching the proceedings on behalf of the provincial government, does not allow much to escape him. It is generally understood that he is personally opposed to Chinese and Japanese immigration, arid the labor party look for more' valuable assistance from him in the final argument than even from their own counsel, and it is not likely that they will be disappointed. A. Crawford, a Toronto newspaper mau and court reporter, who is doing the shorthand work ou the commission, is the least reserved of the party. He has no hesitation in expressing what\" his /views are, either with respect to the weight of the evidence \"submitted or the probable effect which it will have upon the authorities at Ottawa. Iu his opinion the evidence shows that the sentiment of the province is against 'Chinese and Japanese immigration and competition, and as China < has no particular claim for consideration, he thinks that the evidence submitted will be sufficient to \"secure their exclusion. Some different treatment will probably be accorded to the Japanese, not because they are-any more desirable, but for international, reasons; but he thinks-that even in their case the finding of tho commission will result in the imposition of a head tax. WALDERSEE IS RECALLED WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT EXPRESSES APPROVAL. German Press Is Also Pleased at tbe Withdrawal of the Troops From China. THE BOAT CLUB REGATTA CREWS ARE PUTTING! IN STIFF PRACTICE. Lively Interest Manifested hy the Members Will Warrant7 at Least Three Meetings This Summer. A general meeting of the Nelson Boat Club will be held in Fraternity hall oh Thursday evening next,\" when several matters of importance to the club will be considered. A lively interest has been manifested in. the ^first.-of the club's regattas wliich has been set for Thursday, June 0th,. aud the members drawn in the several' creiws have been putting in some good practice work. > On Monday., afternoon six of the crews were out and yesterday morning there \"were two 'crews-'out-at-.0:30.- -As;}there are several'green men in the crews this, year it js yet.too.early.to pass upon their respective merits;but from the interest shown it is evident that some spirited contests may be expected. Already six- crews have been drawnfor the regatta aud another is to be selected from the following: Ernest Meyers, J. A. Wetmore, George Hodge, J; Newport, E. C. Wragge, R. H. Williams and T. H. Brown. This will give at least seven crews instead of four, the number entered iu the last regatta, and for the July regatta it is expected that at least ten crews will be entered, as the active membership of the club is alreadytreble what it was last year. The three-quarter mile course for the. June regatta will be laid between JlobertsVranch and Jhe.tram^ way company's park, which from the spectators standpoint, is said to be much better than the courses formerly chosen from the club house. For the convenience of the oarsmen the tramway compauy has erected a boat house and a float will also be in readiness. A change has been made in ,the Hedley crew, Frank Clarke replacing F. W.

Then every available mau is on the streets through, which it is likely that his majesty will pass But it often happens that the kaiser, after ordering his carriage, keeps it waiting for an hour, and perhaps at the last moment gives orders to drive through streets in which the police least expect him. He has given orders that the police along his route are never to salute him nor look at him. They are to face the direction from which his carriage is coming, but they are to watch the crowds, not the kaiser. Further instructions have been given to place a greater number of policemen in plain clothes along the kaiser's route. These are to mix with the crowd and listen to conversation, casual remarks, etc., On railway journeys the precautions are to be redoubled. The public aro to be rigorously excluded from railway stations during the passage of the imperial train. The guards in the Schloss have been doubled. The kaiser looks anything but well.

Durkee, it is stated, was a citizen of the territory of Utah, and died January 14th, 1876, at which time he was governor of the territory. He is said to have deposited in the treasury Pacific railroad stock which has never been returned. It is also stated that Kuykendall has filed the necessary evidence to establish the validity of the claim with the executive department of the government, and that it has been adjudicated and forwarded to the warrant division of the treasury department for payment. It is also alleged that the chief clerk of the warrant division has refused to sign a letter acknowledging the receipt of the claim, and that treasurer Roberts refuses to pay the sum named to the representatives of the Durkee estate.

They say, all things considered, it is only fair that the patronage of local liquor dealers should be given them in preference to brewers in - Spokane and other outside places. The Trihune has always stood for the upbuilding of Nelson, aud its every effort has been in the direction of educating people up to the idea of patronizing home industries. TJie retail liquor dealers of Nelson have had their privileges well safeguarded, and they should appreciate the situation and not antagonize, tp too great an extent, enter - Whii.b Smith Curtis at Victoria was playing to put Martin in the background, his political ally, James Wilks, was laying pipe to carry Kootenay. He (Wilks) was to contest Nelson riding, and to that end his followers at once began a campaign of mud-throwing. The members for Nelson and Slocan were denounced as \"no good\" and \"traitors.\" No epithet was mean enough to use against \"Bob\" Green and John Houston. These mitd-throw- er3 are still at work, but their claws are being clipped, and were an election held tomorrow thoy would not be a factor that would count for much. \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 * \"prises that.are\"almost sole!jHIepen- dent on the town in which they aire doing business. But human nature is much the same the world over. Few men, or women either, will sacrifice creature comforts for mere sentiment, and fewer still will purchase a home-made article if it costs more thon a similar article made elsewhere. TiiK mail service between Nelson and Rossland is most wretched. Although trains leave both places at 7 o'clock in the-morning and reach both places at 11 o'clock, or in four hours, all mail matter takes a roundabout trip through the United States, and the mail that leave's Rossland for Nelson is twelve hours in transit.

This should be clearly thown to the comtuisbion, and the men to do it are the men who, somehow, manage to live in Nelsou without \"employing or patronizing the Chinese.

Mr. Smith is a well- meaning but peppery old gentleman. It is safe to say that his riding did not lose a dollar through his hanging on to tlie coat-tails of Smith Curtis.

Bkussels, May 28.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDA sensation has been caused by a book entitled \"Iu tlie Congo,\" just published, tho author of wliich is Mi Mandet- Gmneey. Ifc contains a vivid exposure of the cannibalism whicli is still tolerated iu that part .of Africa which is under either French or Belgian rule. \"This morning about 7 o'clock,\" says tlie author, \"a man was executed. A rope was placed, around his neck and with it he was hung from a tree at a height ' of about thirty feet. At 10 o'clock the chief of his village appeared, carrying in a basket a hen, some eggs and a bottle of bmudy, and requested us to let him take the body of the victim, since it was '.that of his own brothetv Then, without the slightest hesitation, he explained that he desired to eat the body. The necessary permission being granted, the chief told one of his wives, two of whom accompanied him, to cut down the body, and at once she climbed up the tree and severed the rope. The chief then cut a leg from the body, and after his wives had cooked it they all sat down and ate ifc. Soon afterward they went home, taking with them the remainder of the body, with the intention of eating it in the evening. In market places may very often be seen a man holding by a short ropo a slave, who is generally a boy about 14 or 15 years old, aud whose body is covered with oil, so that it has a fine, giossy appearance. For weeks the boy has been carefully fattened, and now his master has brought him to market to 9ell him,\". just as ho would bring any. other animal. That the boy knows the fate which is in storo for him is certain, yet no one could be more indifferent or .stolid than he. Epicures gather nround him and feel his flesh iii order to test its quality, while others mark out with chalk the portions which they are willing to purchase.\" Changes in Royal Household. Sweeping changes were inaugurated recently in the royal establishments at Windsor. The elder servants were pensioned. Fraser, tho late queen's police superintendent, goes into retirement, and head keepers and gardeners disappear into the obscurity .of the pension list. Tiie. prince consort's rooms wliich had been closed for many years by queen Victoria's orders, =ha-ve.=b.een=opened=aud=refm*M3hed= in modern style, and the state apartments have been transformed into rooms where the members of the royal family can live iu comfort. The Jubilee presents and many favorite pictures of queen Victoria have been sent to London and the queen's personal belongings .have been distributed among the members of her family. The collies have been distributed among the people of Windsor and various princesses. King Edward and queen Alexandra care little for anything but pugs and terriers. Next month 5000 dozens of costly wine from the late queen's cellars will be sold at public auction in London. Each bottle will have the royal label on it. Various reasons are given for this almost unprecedented action. The most probable consists in the fact that royal hospitality is now generally confined to whiskey and soda, and champagne, and to the lapse of the practice by whicli many court functionaries formerly received daily a bottle of Madeira or Port as part of their salaries.

HAY President. .General Manager. Inspector. Troliey-Car Funerals. Trolley funerals are the next thing on. the programme. At Sterling, Illinois, a company is forming for the purpose of building a complete line of funeral trolley cars. The hearse is to be an elaborate affair. Its upper part will be composed mainly of plate glass, the coflin resting in the middle of .the car on a stand. Tlie motorman is shut off from tho main portion of the car, and privacy is assured for the dead. Tlio car will be black. Behind the trolley hearse \"Tl'ition of affairs in Brazil is scarcely better. The Brazilian government has no department- corresponding to our Geographical or Coast and Geodetic Surveys. Tiie only exploring dono lias been carried on by tlie states. There are large tracts in (ho northern part of Brazil which have never been crossed, as far as is known, by any white man. Couldn't Stand Prosperity. Special master Joseph C. Cross, appointed by the court of chancery of Now Jersey to take evidence in the -suit foio divorce instituted by Mi-h. Ann Kent against her husband, William H. Kent of Summit, N. J., filed his report recently, recommending the granting of a decree. Rev. Dr. Hooper, pastor of the Presbyterian church* at New Providence, married the couple on April 22. 1SS);J. The bride was then 53 years of age. The bridegroom, who hai been 'her coachman, was only IS. The marriage caused a great sensation. Mrs. Kent's first husband was Alexander Neary. She owned considerable real estate and was possessed of a large amount of money. Shortly after their marriage Kent purchased somo valuable trotting horses and was seen driving wifch other women. Mrs. Koufc hired a detective and then began an action for divorce. Kent is now a brakeman on the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad. Presbyterians Adjourn.

Its sides willJ be of plate glass, and there will be refrigerating arrangements for keeping the flowers fresh. Next will come a car for relatives and friends of the dead. The interior will bo so arranged that the seats will look as much as possible like those of a private carriage. Thero will bo practically three carriages to each car. J. It. Johnson, president of the Rock Falls Manufacturing Company of Sterling, is organizing tho funeral trolley road. The tracks for this road will pass through the cities of Rockford, Oregon, Byron, Dickson and Rock. Falls. These places are manufacturing centers, and the introduction of trolley funerals will save the working people a great deal of money. Arrangements are being made to have the tracks for the funeral cars enter the various cemeteries near the cities named, and the principal churches of these places will be along the line of route. There is a certain amount of prejudice against the trolley funeral in the district mentioned, but president Johnson feels confident that as soon as the public sees how finely the cars are -appointed- this sentiment will vanish. - Unexplored South America. South America is now the least known of all the continents. It has much larger areas which have never been visited by white men than -Africa. Lay this to the Monroe doctrine, if you like. What's the use of Europeans exploring the place when Uncle. Sam won't let them annex ifc ? Most of the cities along tho coast of South America were settled in the Columbian era. Civilization is in fact much older there than in North America. Yet for nearly three hundred -.years there has nofc been much organized attempt to explore the interior. The first expedition sent out by a S nith American goyernment was in 1S75. Many of these countries are withoufc exact maps of their own territory. Most of tho maps in use havo been made by explorers from Europe or the United States. The greater part of the immense tract of land iu the middle of the continent from Venezuela to Chili has not yet reached tho roughest pioneer state of settlement. A con-* sidcrable part of Colombia is still wholly unknown. Tho soveral Atlantic states, even as far north as Uruguay, have many blank sections on their maps. The Guiana?,' except for a strip along thejeoast, are practical jy unknown. The^coii^ SAVINC? THK CUKKKKT R. BANK DEPARTMENT.
