COUNTER 8-ll-lSm Paris, Dec. 7.���The Paris edition of the New York Herald saya a vain attempt is being made in Berlin and Stuttgart to conceal tbe tiouble between Emperor William aud the King of Wurtemburg. The Emperor complains bitterly of Wurtemburg'e clandestine opposition to his policy. The Emperor refers to the hostility of Baron von Mittenacht, Wurtemburg'e premier and minister of foreign offaire, and Welcker, tbe oommanding general. Mittenacht is accused of too much friendship for Bismarck and with enoouraging agitation ugainsl the wine tax. When tne King ol Wuneuibuig tried to justify his premier by pointing out that the tax was impossible, the Emperor flew into a passion, and accused Mittenacht and Weloker of insubordination and giving a false report of the drouth in Wurtemburg as a means of stopping the army maneuvers. The king, in order to quiet the emperor, promised to put every thing straight, but the emperor said: "Last year we were set at naught by the pretext that there was cholera at Hamburg; this year it is drought. This must be stopped." Mittenacht 'a position bsoams unbearable, and as soon as he haa advocated in the diet his scheme for reform constitution, which will doubtless be rejected, he will certainly resign. The minister of war, also, in Bpite of his recent visit to Berlin, is already packing his trunks, and Welcker has asked to retire. When the Emperor was present at the recent leview at Stuttgart he treated Welcker like a dog and feigned nut to see him, though Welcker was in command. The Emperor said loudly enough to bs heard by all his staff:���"The troops are bad, but their handling is worse than bad." The Emperor then turned his baok on Welcker, who was thunderstruck at this treatment. The minister of war and Mittenacht were similarly treated. The Emperor did not reply to either of them, turned Lis baok and then refused lo see Von Moser in Berlin, giving him to understand the air of the country was not good for him. The Only Claim. New Yobk, Dec. 8.���The Herald's Washington special says: The first and only claim presented by the Chilian Government to the Chilian claim commission was filed ysterday. Th'R in the cdehra'ed Data case The .Sou'h America Steamship Company, having offices at Valpariso is the claimant and wants $2*27,000 for damages for seizure and detention of the Itata by the United States authorities. More Chinese Landed. Poet Towksknd, Dec. 6.���News was received to-night from Dungenesa that an unknown steamer landed a gang of twenty Chinese on the spit near the lighthouse Monday night.. The contrabands went up to the potato ranch, which is conducted by other Chinese, and were lost, sight of. The settlers iu that locality say that hardly a week pisses but one or two steamers run across from Victoria and land a score or more Chinese. The G. O. M. Seriously 111. London, Deo. 8.���Mr. Gladstone is seriously ill. He is suffering from a severe cold. Lo Bengula Wants Surrender. Caps-town, Dec. 8.���A despatch from Buluwayo has been received here stating that King Lo Bengula sends envoys to the British asking a number of the British South African men to meet him as he is desirous to surrender and wants the soldiers to guard bim. A Settlement WiU be Hade. Chicago, Dec. 8.���Thomas Msckin, the Lako View n.illionare, v. ho died three weeks ago, left no will telling how bis vast estate should be divided. The three heirs, Mrs. Martha Mackin, widow of the deceased, John Mackin, bis only son, and Mrs. John J. Philbrint, the only surviving daughter, have come to an agreement, and an amicable settlement of the estate valued at about 14,000,000 will be made outside of ths courts. A Strike to be Ordered. Des Moines, la., Dec. 7.���At noon 1,000 miners, employed in 11 coal mines of this district, met and unanimously decided to order a general strike unless the operators revoke the decision to withhold two weeks' pay instead of one, and demanding pay once every two weeks instead of once a month. The teamsters also held a meeting and deoided to stand by the miners. Several operators, interviewed by the Associated Press correspondent, declared they would not accede to tbe demands of the miners. The indications are that the dispute will result in all the mines remaining closed for indefinite periods. A Raid on Anarchists. London, Deo. 8.���A Madrid despatch says the police raided a house suspected of being oocupied by anarobists. It is believed the movements of numbers of anarobists have been detected. The discovery of documents confirms the suspicions of the polioe that the widespread anarchist propaganda means dynamite and other outrages. Campos' Terms. Madrid, Deo. 8.���Gen. Campos, commander of the Spanish troops at Melilla in the conditions of settlement of the trouble with the Riffians requires the surrender of their rifles, and the punishment of all persons Spain considers guilty of being leaders in the movement nnd a'so demands the surrender of important hostages.

London, Deo. 8.���The most important arrest growing out of the Rio Peoo discovery was Thos Alto], charged with being the author of a recent dynamite outrage at Vil- lanueva y la Geltru. Altel told all he knew about the outrages to associates who wera arrested. Further wholesale arrests are expected. Three men arrested had in their possession papers implicating others in the outrage.

An Editor Slugged. Winnipbq, Deo. 8.���Editor Braden, of the Calgary Tribune, and J. G. Fitzgerald, real estate agent, had a dispute at Calgary over a letter on immigration matters whioh appeared in a late issue of the Tribune, The disagreement ended in tbe latter striking the former, cutting his eye badly. A warrant waa immediately sworn out and Fitsgerald arrested. The ooroner's inquest on the body of David Akers, shot and killed at Pot Hole Creek on Sunday last, dosed at Lethbridge yesterday afternoon. After three hours the jury returned at 11 o'clock with a vsrdiot of manslaughter. Unscrupulous Newsmongers. Spokane, Deo. 8.���A meeting of the leading citizens was held to-day to deal with an abuse unique in journalism. For three years speoial correspondents have been manufacturing all sorts of sensations and telegraph reports to Eastern newspapers. It is now proposed to stop this work by appeal to the courts. An effort will be made to get at the records of the telegraph office by judicial order, the intention being then to bring criminal proceedings for libel against two correspondents known to be responsible for the speoial service. At first indignation was directed against the Associated Press, belief being general that it was responsible for all the despatches sent from here. Tbe local correspondent promptly met this by voluntarily giving the committee an order upon the telegraph office to give them free access to anything ever tiled for that association. The case promises to be one of the most interesting ever brought in the courts of this country, and may lead to libel suits against papers printing such bogus news. MELLO IS NOT SCARED. Be Decribes His Intentions at Length to a Correspondent. New York, Dec. 8.���The Heralds correspondent at Rio Janeiro interviewed Admiral Mello of the rebel fleet on Nov. 26th in which he said:���"I want to reply tbat it was never my intention to replace the monarchy. The majority of Brazilians are opposed to it. My sole object is to rid Brazil of military despotism which now threatens to prevail. During the early days of the revolution 1 had hoped to receive aid from persons on shore. They deceived me however, hired by the paymsntof large sums of money from Peioxto. My aspirations are for the liberty of all people and not for personal gain. These sentiments actuate all my adherent*. I want it denied emphatically that tha Javary was sunk by so many shots from the forts. The sinking was due to ber springing a leak caused by the concussion resulting from the continuous firing of her heavy guns. Hal gunners were unable to use the hydraulic loading gear, which had been disabled, and were obliged to 1 ,ad by hand. I think tbe powder charges used two days before the sinking were too heavy. The Javary had been leaking for the last two weeks, and the pumps were constantly in use. The ship was old and not well taken care of. It was cowardly on the part of the shore troops to fire on my boats when they were engaged in rescuing men fiom the Jav��ry; it was barbarous! I have the Aquidaban, Republic, Jupiter, Esperanza snd other armed steamers which are well filled with guns. We hove abundant charge aboard them to last several months, while there is no lack of fresh food received daily. My hope at present is that the conflict will be ended in ten daya in some manner. Perhaps in the case of a certain contingency arising I shall take the Aquidaban which is able to steam eleven knots an hour, the Tamanadore and seven other steamers and endeavor to force a passage of the bar. I feel that my comrades on the foreign naval ships are in sympathy with me. The aotion of the foreign government* in permitting President Peixoto to buy ships iB perfectly legitimate. With the Aquidaban and Republic I don't fear a fight with any ships bought in the United States. Mello Making Trouble. Washington, Dec. 8.���Mr. Stanton was at the navy department again to-day. He says the quarantine station where the Aquidaban lies is forty miles west and south of Rio. The despatch of Minister Thompson to Secretary Giesham reporting Mello's arrival there, stated that Mello had saoked the quarantine station, after which he had sailed away in a southerly direction. Mello's departure tor the south is believed here to be a mere blind to his real purpose of proceeding to the open ocean north of Rio to lotwpt nnd give battle to the Nictheroy, now nearing that port.

Niw York, Deo. 8 ���A speoial from Antigonish, N. S., soya: Prime Minister Sir John Thompson and Minister of Marine and Fisheries, Sir Chas. H. Tupper, addressed a great political meeting here today. Referring to the negotiations between Dominion delegates and Mr. Blaine, and the declaration of the Secretary of State that the principle of unrestricted reciprocity waa the only one upon whioh negotiations for a trade treaty could be conduoted, Sir Chas. H, Tupper deolared that events had justified the action of the Canadians in withdrawing from further negotiations. When Mr. Blaine said: "You must take our terms of unrestricted reciprocity or nothing," the Canadians answered, "We'll take nothing, but the day will onms when you will find it advisable in your own interests." That day has come, said Sir Charles Tupper, aud under the Wilson hill the United States propose placing many articles of Canadian production on the free list. Referring to the Behring Sea arbitration, Sir John Thompson said the result showed tbat Canada was in the right and had been in the right all through. Sir John Thompaon proceeded to point out that had Canada entered into the treaty of unrestricted reciprocity in 1891, which involved the application of the MoKinley tariff to rjknada against the rest of the world, this country would also have been subjected to the frightful financial, commercial and industrial disasters through which the United States have just passed. The Premier further declared the polioy of his government was to oonvinoe Canadians that their .country was safer and more prosperous than the United Statea. That they would go to the country upon their record and upon a revision of tariff upon practical principles. He felt confident they would again be victorious. A Daring Steal. South Bend, Ind., Dec. 8.���The boldest robbery in the annals of crime in Indiana was committed to-day about noon, the victim being tbe South Bend National Bank, one of the leading banking concerns in the state. The amount lakeu was $15,900. No- clue to the identity of the robbers has yet come to light, and they seem tc have made good their escape. From the manner in which the details of the theft were carried out, it is certain that it was engineered by a gang of experienced priminals who have for some time been shadowing the bank and ve officers and had become thoroughly conversant with their business habits. The South Bend National Bank ia located on North Michigan street, the First National being just north of it. sin iron fence joining them. Shortly after noon to-day, while cashier Campbell was absent at dinner, assistant cashier- Kelly, who resides in the rear of the building, was called to his front door by a man who aaid he wanted to see him on some business. Just about this time a man appeared near the bank building nn the north and effected an entrance to the director's room, prying opeu the window sash with a chisel. He then forced a heavy oak door and was immediately in front of the vault. The outer vault door was open, but the two- inoh middle door had been clo-ed by cashier Campbell. This yielded readily, the combination having for some reason failed to work, and before the robber stood the counter tray, containing between $3,000 and $10,000. In the safe $14,000 in gold and many thousands in greenbacks,were arrayed on shelves, The prime idea seemed to be to take as much as possible of tbe money in sight, without arousing suspicion before the robbers had had plenty of time to make good their escape. For this reason the counter tray with its loose thousands was undisturbed, the robber confining hia theft to the safe, from which he took $4,000 in yellow coin, about all he could carry, and $11,900 in bills. No silver ooin was touched. The vault was then closed and the robber made his escape by means of the back door before assistant cashier Kelly had again passed through the building. It is probable that one man only entered the bank, he being protected by an outside guard, who could easily have been placed where they could watoh closely through the large plat" v'ass window the movements of any one int de of the building without, attracting a teution to themselves The money was not missed until some time after Cashier Campbell returned from dinner and then information of the theft waa suppressed for some time in the hips that some due to the robbery might be discovered, A Question of Law. San Francisco, Dec. 8.��� Sheriff McDade holds some $50,000 of Pacific Bank money te satisfy attachments levied upon the funds of the bank. A motion. to dissolve these attachments was argued today before Judge Hubbard and taken under advisement. The court intimated that it had had occasion to pass upou a similar question in the case of the State Investment Insurance Co., which is now on appeal to the Supreme Court, with daily expectation of a decision. 1* was also intimated that the attachments would be dissolved unless the Supreme Court held adversely to its opinion. Corbett Training in Florida. Jacksonville, Fla. Deo. 8.���It has been decided that Corbett will be trained at May- port for his fight with Mitchell. Mayport ia at the mouth of the St. Johns river, and is an ideal place for training quarters. There are miles of beach, and Corbett can enjoy a plunge in old ocean whenever he desires. It is understood the necessary paraphernalia will be sent down to Mayport immediately and everything put in readiness for Corbett, who is expected in about ten days, Mrs. Corbett will prepare her husband's meals while he is training. Opposition to the fight seems to have died ont, and nothing haa been heard from those who have been opposing it. NANAIMO, B. C., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 189.3. ON THE RIALTO. Local Trade, Finance and Business Changes During The Week. Business generally throughout the City shows little change since our last report. In drygoods, fancy goods and groceries there is a slightly brisker movement, owing to the approach of the holiday season. Prices without exception rule about the same. Dry goods merchants are cutting prices right and left in order to clear out old stock. Incoming consignments are steady, nothing very remarkable having been noted.

Yassar, 8-year-old trotting fsoord t:21 V, has gone to pacing. There is talk of covering the Stockton* kite truck with asphaltum. There have only been a tew really great brood mares, and every on* meant tt fortune to the owner. His Highness will not be seen on the track any more. His owner haa decided to retire him to the stud. Robert Pool, who drove Dan Wilkes the first heat of a race at the recent New Britain (Conn.), meeting, is 83 years old. Kalamazoo business men are looking for ��� site for a mile track to take the place of the old course, which is to be out up into building lots. Horsemen of central New York are talking of forming a lake circuit to include Ithaca, Auburn, Seneca Falls, Geneva,Can- andaigua and Fenn Yan. A number of horses have been operated On this year to cure roaring. The operation consists in removing the arytenoid cartilage and vocal chord. Chemical analysis of the loco woed common in the southwest and supposed to madden the animals that eat it shows that it contains no narcotic properties. Baladin, 2:05%, now holds the champion race record tor pacing stallions and is only one-quarter second slower than Direct, who holds tbe fastest of all records made by a stallion in harness. Taking casta from a living horse is something new in the sculptor's line. William Partridge of Milton, Mass., is modeling an equestrian statue of General Grant and makes use of a live horse. The Horseman says an owner should ex ercise as much skill in selecting a blacksmith to shoe his horses as in buying the horses. A careless man can do more harm in 10 minutes than a mechanic can remedy in ��� month. ��� ������ ��������� COAL '* ��������� ��������� The New Vaneouver Coal Mining and Land Company (FORMERLY THE VANCOUVER COAL COMPANY) : : ABB TBE LABGEST COAL ��� PBOBUCEBS ON TBE PACIFIC COAST ��� s * ��� THK PROMPTER, John Drew has returned from bit long European vacation.

The prominent American theatrical managers do not boycott native authors. They simply ignore all but about half a doss��� of them. R. E.

Robert lf>*out, author of Effle Ellsler's successful play "Doris," is less than 34 years old. Besides being a playwright he is an actor of marked ability. The coming season of grand opera at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, eromises to be the most brilliant, io the his- )ry of that famous "temple of art." Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett will make ���n effort to duplicate the success of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" with a new play which ���he hopes to finish before New Year's day.

Mackenzie's government, is dead from bronchitis. Mr. La- flamme was born in 1827, and sat in the Dominion Parliament for Jacques Cartier county from 1872 to 1878. The trial of Daniel Coughlin at Chicago, for the murder of Dr. Cronin, is proceeding. The whole business of Dr. Cronin's "taking off' reflects the deepest discredit on the Irish Nationalists of the United States. It proves that one faction of them at least do not hesitate to commit any crime that suits their purpose. Science in England has sustained a great loss in the death of Professor Tyndall. His death was due to an, over dose of chloral, taken as a reme'y for sleeplessness, from which, ss well as from indigestion, Mr, Tyndall had of late suffered much. It is strange that so able a scientist as Dr. Tyndall should cause his own death by such a mistake as the administration to himself of an over dose of a narcotic. Agriculture in England has been in a very bad state for several years past, and the drought of the past summer seems to have brought matterB pretty much to a crisis. The usual British remedy in such circumstances has beeu resorted to, and a publio meeting held in London under the auspices of the National Agricultural Union. Numerous suggestions have been submitted, but so far as is apparent it has all been talk and nothing more. One chief cause of the distress, we ore told, was the fall of prices due to foreign ompetition. How that is to be remedied by any number of public meetings under the auspices of agricultural societies is not clear. Protection might do something for the farmers, but protection aB opposed to free trade has at present no chance in Great Britain, especially protection of agricultural products, which would tend to make food dear. The only plan would be for the great landed proprietors to agree to a sweeping reduction of rents, Bay about 25 per cent at least. Rents of farms are at present 50 percent, too high in Britain, and must come down if the farmers are not to be ruined. But a sweeping reduction of rents is about the last thing that the landed proprietors will agree to. Something may perhaps be done by encouraging fruit growing, dairying, the raising of poultry and other branches of farming at present but little attended to. But the grand practical remedy for the ills of the farmers is at once to make a great reduction of rents, and on this point not a single word appears to have been said at the meeting held in London on Thursday. INSURANCE MARCUS WOLFE REAL ESTATE Mining in Alberni. The New York Tribune says of the trade policy which it is proposed by the Cleveland administration shall be established under the Wilson tariff: "By passing over all the reciprocity agreements the Democracy repudiate, outright the reciprocity policy adopted by all the great nations of Europe except England. By throwing open the American market unconditionally to Australian and Argentine wool; Canadian coal, lumber, ores, fish and farm products; Chilean copper, Mexican lead ores, West Indian salt and so- oalled 'raw materials' from every quarter, they reveal their uncompromising free trade tendencies. Instead of defending the twenty treaties now in force and making a new series of conventions for the benefit of the American export trade, they are imitating blindly the English policy of giving away the home market and getting nothing in return." It is to be noticed how the leading Republican organs in the United States appeal to American prejudice against England. J. Heunessy, one of the original locators of the China Creek mines, returned to Victoia on the Maude He did not visitthe workings, but the latest news brought down wbb to the effect that all three tunnels were under way, and that the ledge was increasing in width as the work advanced. The representatives of the owners, however, were very reticent. Frank McQuillan has begun work on a tunnel on his claim over the divide from the China Creek group. Ore from this mine went $150 to the ton. An extensive deposit of copper ore carrying silver has been discovered on the shore of Alberni canal. Assays show seventeen per cent, copper and eight ounces of silver per ton.

Lord Brooke was the eldest son of the late earl, and of course accedes vo the title and estates on his father's death, which was announced a few days ago. Lady Brooke, who is a celebrated beauty, has had her name mentioned in several scandals, in some of which the Prince of Wales also wus mixed up. A few years after her marriage a suit for divorce was begun by Lord Brooke, but it was not prosecuted. The Prince of Wales was named as one of the co-respondents along with the Duke of Marlborough and twelve other gentlemen of the highest rank in England. It is supposed that royal influence waa brought to bear on Lord Brooke to induce him to drop the case. It is said to be due to Lady Brooke's tattle, that the celebrated baccarat, case, which led to the disgrace and ruin of Sir William Gordon Cumming and which reflected so much discredit nn the Prince of Wales became public. A force of American marines, by order of the Amerioan minister at Honolulu, assisted some months ago to depose Queen Liliuok- alani, but the Amerioan people generally are very much exercised that President Cleveland should oommand that those same marine) be used to undo the act of injustice then committed and restore the Hawaiian Queen. Some of the American papers demand that Cleveland be impeached if he dares to do anything of the sort. With these papers it was right to use the military forces of the United States to hal down a monarchy and set up a shoddy republic, but it would be a crime to use any part of the same forces to undo the injustioe whioh the U. S. Minister committed and again establish the Hawaiian monarchy. This may be Republicanism, but it is not justice or fair dealing, The U. S. Minister at Honolulu had no right to use the U. 3. forces to assist a gang of revolutionists to overthrow a friendly government and the American press has no right to hinder President Cleveland from undoing the wrong the U. S. Minister committed. Let Queen Liliuokulani be restored, and then let the majority of the Hawaiian people if they dislike her rule, themselves depose her and set up a Republio if they want one.

Vancouver, Dec. 8.���The prompt aotion of the Nanaimo Pilotage Board in throwing out the suggestion of the proposed amalgamation of the different boards of the Province evidently affeoted the Vancouver Board of Trade, as the board passed a simi- jlar resolution to the Nanaimo one, after about fifteen minutes' conversation. Thomas Randall, sged 29 years, a native of Aberdeen, Scotland, and until recently cashier for W. B. Brock-Co., Toronto, died at the Leland Hotel, this city, last night, and the police think from alcoholic poisoning, lhe deceased arrived in Vancouver about two months ago and has been more or lees intoxicated ever since. He is believed to be well connected. Sovereign's Address. New Yoke, Bee 6.���In the address of General Master Workmen Sovereign to the Knights of Labor, he says: "A great struggle is being waged between two ereutjforces, organized monopoly, struggling to make slaves out of men, and organized labor, struggling to make men out of slaves. Opulenoe is fast becoming a monarch; distributive production is dying out; combinations of money and brains are fast reducing independent operators to mere wheels in the maohinery of vast manufacturing concerns, I appeal to you to rally to the rescue, and under the shield of our noble order we will bring the great avenues of distribution within easy reach of the masses, elect all legislative, executive and judiciary officers of the general government, take away the veto power of the president and destroy the avooation of oorrupt lobbies by establishing the initiative ad referendum. Thus we will give to the world an industrial system menaced by no tramp at one end and princely dude at the other." Tbe Nlotheroy Ready for Business. St. Thomas, Deo. 8.���It had been intended to send the Nictheroy to Barbadoes for coal, but the opening of the sealed orders showed her destination to have been changed to St. Thomas. A bright lookout was maintained last night for Mello, though he was not believed to be so far north as this. Assignments to fighting quarters have been made. In action Captain Baker, assisted by navigator Evelyn, will sail the ship; Lieut. Hill, executive offioer, will fight her; Graven, ordnance officer, fights the spar deok battery: Brintry has charge of the dynamite gun; Conway has the forward and Sparling the after gun- deck battery; Lowe commands the powder division; Van Iderstein, chief engineer, assisted by assistant engineers Sten- strom, Allen and Crowley, control the engines and valves of the dynamite gun, and officers Marriott and Fontaine, Associated Press and World correspondents respectively, manage the range- finder. The big 4.7 inch rifle at the stern is captained by junior boatswain Gilroy. The other gun captains are all old men of-wars-men. The ship was inspected yesterday by the c��ptuiu and executive officers. Friday afternoon one of the one-pound guns on the after deckhouse was discharged accidentally. Probably a strong wind blew the edge of a canvas covering against the trigger. As the gun was pointed seaward no damage was done. Bow tbe Strike Ended. VYiLKisuARRE, Pa., Dec. 6.���The strikers broke ranks at 11 o'clock to-night and made a rush for superintendent Esaer's offioe. The latter said to all applicants: "Understand, gentlemen, I abide by the agreement given out this evening, and that is, I shall take back as many of you as I can make place placos for. You deserted the road voluntarily. We had to run our'rains and we got other men, who are doing their work Faithfully. There are some vacancies, and these I will fill with the first men who return and report for duty." Some strikers claim the grand chiefs sold them out and that they rare in a fair way to win the fight when called off. Mauoh Chunk, Pa., Deo 9.���There is a serious hit���li iu the settlement of tho Lehigh Valley strike. The leaders received cipher messages early this morning declaring the strike off. They expected to return in a body and every man took his place. When ths arrangements were made known to them things assumed a different shape, and they unanimously declared that every man would have to be taken back or none. The strikers held a meeting in the opera house this evening, and the proposition fur a settlement was rejected. Similar action was taken at Lehigh, Weissport and Whitehaven. The new phase of the situation causes great uneasiness here. Stockholders, strikers and business men are more or less dejected. They had hoped for a settlement. The strikers, however, say they are prepared to hold out any length of time. PBOVINCIAL NEWS. No vessels are in Union harbor, and the mines are idle. The Courtenay News will shortly be enlarged and new features will be introduced. Some fine specimens of coal from the Port McNeill lands have been exhibited in Viotoria. It is reported that coal haB been discovered at Sumas, in the interior Fraser district, and on the boundary line. No full details are as yet known. All the creeks and rivers flowing into Baynes Sound are literally alive with salmon, and bears, eagles, crows and gulls are having a bountiful feast. Mr. S. H. Davis, the young Amerioan lecturer, spoke on the liquor problem in the Denman Island Methodist ohurch last Monday evening to a very appreciative audience. The people of Denman Island contemplate building a hall near the schoolhouse for lectures, social meetings, etc. It will be 30 by 40 and will be occupied by the I.O.G.T. when completed. Mr. Piercy has given a lot for the purpose. A. C. Wilson, of Westminster, has written to the Vancouver City Council, stating that he is desirous of establishing a pottery on the Mainland, and asking if Vancouver would give him a free site. Mr. Wilson is also negotiating with Westminster oity for a site for his pottery, and has been offered quite liberal terms. A report has reached the Westminster Provincial p lice that Hugh Lynn, suspected of the Sava.y Island murders, was seen three days after the tragedy passing Pender Island, bound south, in a boat heavily loaded down with goods. His klootohman was with him. Little credence is placed in the report by the authorities, as it has since | been said that Lynn is located and can be | arrested. The Rev. Mr. Robson, a well-known Methodist clergyman of Victoria, there i speaking the other day on the temperance question, practically argued for a policy of prohibition or nothing, so far as it conoerned direct temperance activity. Hs did not consider it the duty of temperance organiza- j tions to look after infringements of the licensing laws. This should bs left to the municipalities and the police. Peter La Cruze of Deep Bay is authority for the statement that two men in a small sloop going up to Knights' Inlet were drowned. The party had a complete outfit for hunting and trapping. They had four greyhounds and several dogs, and are believed to bs strangers to this coast and unskilled in the handling of small water craft. They are supposed to have come from Vancouver and to be the same party that nearly came to grief near Qualicum in a storm, some time ago. At the annual meeting of the British Columbia Pioneer Sooiety held in Victoria, The following officers were elected: President, A. Graham; vice-president, G. Fair- brother; treasurer, E. J. Thain; secretary, J. J, Austin: physician,Dr. J. S. Helmcken; auditor, C. Booth;, janitor, R. Ridley, i Directors���C. Bossi, chairman; A. C. Flewin, A. Jack, A. Jackson and T. Tug- j well. On motion of Cornelius Booth, a resolution was passed amending the oonsti-1 tution by creating sons of pioneers honorary j members until the age of 21 years. Harry Kirby and Clifford Smith, who left Courtenay on the 12th of last month for Kingcombe Inlet, are uot expected baok until the mid i le of February. They will put up houses on their ranches. They report the officers of justice as pretty active in the pursuit of the murderer or murderers of Green and Taylor. All unknown crafts are, overhauled mvl thoir occupants made to give ' an account of themselves. Kirby and Smith rere called upon for an explanation of their I presenoe up north but. were able to prove themselves innocent of the Savary Island tragedy, and allowed to go free. Walter Jones & Co. * Wellington, B C 8-ll-om A Horse Trade, Detective C. A. Mee was in town yesterday in connection with a fraudulent sale of four horses that took place here. It appears that tho horses belonged in the first place to T. E.ud he mortgaged them to Henry Cassil, who, after receiving a large sum of money on the mortgage, sold it to G. R. McKenzie, stating that nothing had been paid on it. Cassil is now at Hagersville, Ont. The Rev. C. E. Cooper of Northfield paid a considerable sum for one of the horses, whioh he now has, and another, the three year old mare "Annie Rooney" was purchsssd by Mr. S. M, Robins. The remaining two are now in Keddy's barn and will be taken over to Vancouver by this morning's boat. THEY DONT WANT IT. The Vaneouver Pilotage Board, Like Nanaimo, Not Anxious for Amalgamation. The following report, condensed from the Vancouver World, ot the meeting held in the Board of Trade rooms in that city, to con suit with Capt. Gaudin relative to an amalgamation of all the pilotage districts in the Province may be interesting to Nanaimo pilots and sea-faring men: President Keith of the Board of Trade oocupied the chair, and a considerable number of members were present. President Keith introduoed Capt. Gaudin, who briefly stated the object of the conference. He read letters from the Department of Marine and Fisheries, at Ottawa, in which were embraced corres pondence received there from the Victoria Board of Trade relative to the pilotage system ot the Province, dating baok as far as 1881, signed by Messrs. Roderick Finlayson, R. W. Clark and R. P. Rithet, with E. C. Baker, secretary. The letter from Ottawa desired Capt. Gaudin to wait upon the authorities in ths different pilotage districts and ascertain their views regarding the suggestion made by the Viotoria board for an amalgamation of the three districts. The captain pointed out the fact that the recent disas ters in the vicinity of Victoria, namely, the running on the rocks of the San Pedro at Brotchie Ledge, and the Grasmere oocurred while under the charge of pilots whose jurisdiction was outside that of Victoria. The local pilots there, as well as those interested in shipping, are anxious to have such a change made as would familiarize the pilots with all the conditions in that vioinity. He had been sailing on these waters as captain, pilot and captain again since 1866, and declared that no matter how careful the pilots were an occasional accident was bound to happen. He knew the pilots to be capable men. He asked for a candid expression of the views of all present on the subject. He had come to the meeting rather to listen than to make suggestions. Iu answer to,an enquiry put by the chairman, Capt. Gaudin said that he had been in Nanaimo, and the board there did not think a change desirable. He pointed out the oonditions guiding pilots on the Thames in England and the St. Lawrence. Special piloi s were necessary f r thsss waters, while others had charge of the vessels entering them. The ocean-going tonnage on the Fraser was less than 3,000 tons, an amount whioh would not be sufficient to keep one pilot for thit purpose. Vessels drawing 21 feet could ascend as far as New Westminster with perfeot safety. His own belief was and always has been that the pilotage headquarters should be between Race Rocks and Sooke. Here all incoming vessels oould be spoken. A quarantine station had been established at Williams' Head, and pilots in that vicinity would be enabled to board incoming vessels better than if further in. R. H. Alexander, expressed himself as pleased with the existing regulations, whioh, he said, were working very satisfactorily to all concerned. In fact for months past there had been no complaints. The Americans had a large number of tugs always awaiting incoming vessels at Cape Flattery, and as captains preferred a tug to a pilot the result waB that vessels coming into the straits would hug the American shore. Pilotage was not compulsory with the Americans in the Puget Sound distriot. Keeping a steamer on the British Columbia side would be expensive and then fail in the object suggested. The limits of each pilotage district were clearly defined. The Vancouver limit was inside a line running from Point Atkinson to Point Grey. A signal station had been established at Oarmanah Point on Vancouver Island, whilst the Americans had one at Tatoosh, near Cape Flatery. He did think that it was a hardship that vessel having paid her dues in one port or pilotage district in the Provinoe should be compelled to pay these in others. As Captain Gaudin had pointed out, these charges mads at Victoria, Nanaimo and Vancouver for vessels calling there made it a very expensive matter for the owners. He was also opposed to the half-dues system, and in this respeot would endorse Captain Gaudin's views. Pilots had to live the same as any other body of men in the oommunity. Captain Fullerton and C. Gardiner Johnson coincided with all that Mr. Alexander had said. They did not deem a change in the present system advisable. It was giving general satisfaction and working admirably. The aim should be to make tbe charges as reasonable as possible in order to make our ports cheap ones for all classes of shipping. Captain Gaudin said that the shipping was increasing very rapidly, and that within a few years changes would have to be made, rendered necessary by the altered conditions of shipping affairs. During the discussion it was brought out that whilst the idea of some was that the charges on > essels coming to Vanoouver from Cape Flattery was $10, acoording to the pilotage regulations it was only $6 per foot for steam and $4 for sailing vessels. The consenus of opinion being that the plan for amalgamating the boards would not be desirable, H. O, Bell-Irving moved, seconded by Captain McPhaiden, and resolved, that in the opinion of this meeting no advantage is likely to accrue to the port of Vancouver by the amalgamation of the different pilotage boards of the province. The Fire Department Ball. At the meeting of the fire department last night it was decided that the proposed ball and supper should be given next Friday night. The ball will be held io the new fire hall and the supper will be provided at the International hotel. The admission will be by ticket, at Ihe rate of $2 each, admitting a lady and gentleman. Invitations will be sent to the Vanoouver, New Westminster and Victoria firemen, also to the ladies' committee and the oity council.

Mr. Tally Boyce in oonversatiou with s Th.kim'.im reporter last evening, speaking of the unorganized labor meeting held in Victoria on Tuesday evening, said tbat he thought there should be two separate bills, one for the bureau of labor statistics and the other for t'le councils of arbitration and conciliation and that the members of the bureau of labor statistics should be representative workingmen who, according to Mr. Boyce, would have more confidence placed in them than in men who, though they may be equally interested in seeing that matters were looked after in workingmen's interests, yet were not workingmen themselves. Mr. Boyce also considered that Mr. W. P. Winsby, who called the meeting, as secretary of the Foresters' benevolent society could not be called a representative workingman and had no business there as such. Mr. Boyce considered that abitration should be compulsory, as, if otherwise, should one side in a dispute wish for arbitration and the other not, the oase in dispute would in all probability not be arbitrated at all. He also believed that the award should be left to publio opinion. The Government, he said, had decided to appoint one man to the bureau of labor statistics, but hie duties were to have been in Ihe outlying district**, in whioh case they might jus* us well appoint none at all. Mr. Boyce said that he would be glad to see Mr. West appoinied to the bureau, as he is a man whom he believes would fill the position with the greatest tact and have the confidence of all workingmen. Mr. Boyce agreed with the sentiment, expressed by Mr. Dutton that all benefits reoeived by organized labor would be shared by the unorganized as well.

A Young Girl Taken Suddenly Sick, Refuses* to Say What Ails Her-And is Found Dead. Isabel Johnson, the seventeen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson of Haliburton street was found dead in bed yesterday morning, about five o'clock. The previous evening, she had been down town, where she was Been with another girl, apparently in her usual health and spirits. She had attempted to purchase a box of rough on rata at the Crescent pharmacy, but, owing to Mr. Proctor of the Crescent not being satisfied, was unsuccessful. At the Nanaimo pharmacy, shortly afterwards, Mr. McCartney, the manager, sold her a box of the poison, taking fifty cents and giving her a quarter in change. The girl returned home at about 8:30. Her father, a miuer, was resting before going out to work. She played with the children and talked with her sister. She was seen by her sister, Miss Mary Emily Johnson, to takeacupofwaterandsomesugar, and go by herself into a room off the kitchen, and when asked her reason for doing so, returned no answer. A little later her father left the house, and the girl went to bed. After going to bed, she took a ring from her finger, which bad been presented her by boarders in the Central Hotel, and, gave it to her younger sister, Gracie, with the request to take it to their mother. About 10:30 Miss Johnson became violently sick, and continued so until 3:30 am, at which time her sister Mary, who stayed with her, was relieved by Mrs. Johnson. Isabel would say nothing as to what had caused her to be bo sick. In spite of remedies applied, her sickness continued nntil about 4 a.m., when she became better. At this time her mother left her, and returning about five o'clock, found that the unfortunate girl had died. A box of rough-on-rats, presumably the same bought the evening before, was found nnder the bed, having been opened and a small quantity removed. On the mantelpiece was found a quarter. No note or letter of any kind was discovered. Dr. Praeger and Coroner Planta were notified and the body removed to Mr. J. Hilbert's undertaking rooms for examination by a physician. An inquest will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Messrs. W. Gorden (foreman, J. Lee, A. Parrett, Joseph Wilson, P. Stubbard and D. C. Batting have been empanelled as a jury. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon. It was reported that previous to going out the evening before her death, a letter was handed to her by Mr. James McKin- non, which she read in the presence of her sister, and thereafter went out and purchased the poison. Upon inquiry it was stated that no such letter was delivered to the late Mibs Johnson. What motives she oould have had for thus presumably taking her own life are entirely unknown to her friends. As far as known she was of a healthy, happy disposition, and had no troubles that should impel her to such action. The Poultry Show. An invitation has been sent to Lieutenant- Governor Dewdney, asking him to open the Poultry Show on the 20>h inst, Messrs. Van Houten, Randle, Hull Bros., Dr. L. T. Davis and the Opera House Bar have made additions to the prize list. The society will offer for competition among members a gold coin for best display or best bird. Mr. J. T. Blackburn, president of the Washington State board of Horticulture, and Mr. J. M. Shanks, president ot the Washington State Poultry Association, are expected to attend the show. Looal Fire Insurance. Fire insurance companies doing business in Nanaimo are not satisfied with the low rates existing here, owing to the absence of any defined fire limit in ths city, and the unsubstantial character of most of the buildings erected. It is understood that the present ratings here are to be revised to conform more closely to the ratings laid down by the Paoific Coast Insurance Union. A local agent has given it as hia opinion that rates will continue to increase until a fire limit ia established and a more substantial class of buildings erected. Do You Like Conundrums? Something new and novel in the way of social entertainment will be given in the Wallace Street Methodist Churoh, Monday evening, taking the form of a "conundrum social.

Owing to a break in the submarine oable between the island and the Mainland, The Telegram is this morning without its usual quota of telegraphic dispatches. It is expected that the break will be repaired before to-night. A Card to tbe Publio. As will be seen from the advertising columns, I have decided to devote the whole of my attention, in future, to the undertaking business, and to sell out the whole of my large and varied stock of furniture, ke.

A sponge large enough to expand and fill the chimney after being squeezed in, tied to a slender stick, is the best thing with which to clean a lamp chimney. Vinegar and salt will clean the black' crust off sheet iron frying pans, but they should be thoroughly scoured afterward with sand soap or auy good scouring soap. When molasses is to be used in cooking, It is a very great improvement to boil it and skim It first. It takes out the unpleasant raw taste and gives it mors the flavor of sugar. To clean white ostrich plumes dissolve 4 ounces of white soap in 4 pints of hot water. Make a lather and pluugs the feathers into it, rubbing them well with the hands for five or six minutes. Wash out in clear, hot water and shake until dry. WHITE CITY WAIFS, It is becoming fashionable for people to lie about the money thay spa���d at the World's fair. A portrait of the queen of Madagascar, painted by a native artist of that country, is ou exhibition in the W. C. T. U. department. Klaas, the Sumatra outang at the World's fair, is fond of cigarette smoking. He lights the cigarette with a match and appears to enjoy his smoking hugely. Clement Scott, the distinguished English dramatic critic, says that a day at the World's fair requires "the strength of an ox and the constitution of a Hercules." On exhibition at the World's fair is the first life saving apparatus used by a United States crew. It consists of a car, mortar and ball, with which 250 lives were saved from the wreck of the British ship Ayrshire at Squan beach. New Jersey, in 1850. .

Beg to recommend their Large and Assorted Stock of 4 JOB r ing to .ingiiient his income tiy on alhaiioe wirh 60LU!.' ]ti:ly of fortune. Muriel O'- Connor appeared to answer his retjnire- menth in tills respect, lint ber resources were Veiled in au uncertainty which he had tuicccededin penetrating: and therefore, all iiougb he lest no time in puyinjf her "honourable" adcireBses, he held off from au open engagement until, as he put it, "things should be a l.ttie more settled," conteu Hug bim self wi th borrowing from her incessantly lo supply his prodigal eyoeiidilore. And Muriel was generous to profusion with the man whom her heart bad selected to be htr husband, although her reason told her , many a bitter truth to his prejudice. It was business of this kind which now made Kestrel eager to speak with her before the return of Dennis Donovan, from whom his jiecuuiary needs bad so far been concealed. Leading Muriel to the inner recess of the drawing-room, he began an onslaught of endearment so indiscreetly coloured by his intoxication that no woman, however deeply iu love, could endure without protest. But there was little resentment, only a deep distress in Muriel's voice as she bade him goodnight, and begged him never to approach her so unworthily again. "But, my lovely Muriel, yon madden me with your coli Iness," Kestrel urged. "Can you not understand what it is to be loved���to love���as passionately as I do? I have not seen you for throe days, my darling, and you have not given me one kiss yet, not one, and I want a thousand���yes, a thousand!" "Take this with you, then." She raised her face to his, aud rested a moment in his embrace. Dennis Donovan, entering with catlike softness from the conservatory, saw them through the palms, and stopped instantly in tlio shadow, as if turned to stone. His eyes gleamed put of the foliage like those of a panther about to sphrig! his breath came short and thick in lienYy punts that were almost audible; his whole frame shook with a trtms'iort of fury; for this man, whose nature, was savage, whose whole aim in life was bloodthirsty and vengeful, had iu him that softness which in all beings, human and animal, marks their distinction from the demons of fable and fancy: he could love. And with an overwhelming, vehement passion he loved Muriel O'Connor. He had not dared to utter his love, or to give the smallest sign of it, knowing well that a premature declaration would rob him of all his hopes, and destroy the momentous projects in which she and those she influenced were his tools aud c.aspaws. But while slowly weaving his toils around her he had i.ot lutu'ed for the ultimate result. She seemed so cold, so reserved, so much outside, above, and beyond all vulgar sentiment, that he had not conceived the possibility of the picture which now met his view: Muriel O'Connor surrendering herself to the caress of this paltry libertine. Swiftly and steathily he glided forward like a cloud of Fate, his eyes fixed upon the lovers, until in the shadow of a great buhl cabinet he crouched, aud his hand came in contact with (he Japanese dagger that hung in its sheath upon the wall. He drew it forth quickly, aud the light of the moon gleamed upon its curved blade. Then, as they began to speak, he cowered down, his limbs gathered to- f ether for a spring, a rush, his heart on re, his arm nerved to tbe utmost tension, his brain insane with hellish frenzy. "My pretty Muriel," Kestrel murmured soothingly, "I'm going to ask you a .tremendous favour." Muriel raised her head. She was pale, and her face wore an almost terrified expression. "Not to-night," she said. "Ask me for nothing to-night. Let me think for once that you lore me as you swear you do. Do not ask payment for every kind word or act you be-stow upon me. "Who wants payment?" cried Kestrel, firing up with indignation. "I don't want payment! You shall have it back ���every penny. I'll give you a cheque on my bankers to-morrow. Do you want to insult me?" "I would not offend you, Ralph, indeed-" "But you have offended me! What do you think I am made of? Hare I no feelings? Payment, eh?" "Forgive me, dearest; I spoko upon impulse. It was sweet to feel your love, to hear you vow it���and always you are spoiling all. It is asking u:e lor money you will'be every time: and it grieves me, dear, to feel a sort of doijbl 'eh -uier, after all, it is only as a friend tn.it you think of me���a friend who can help you in your troubles. I am proud to do it, Ralph, and will always help you, dear; but I stopped you because.' 1 had prepared a little present for you. dear, and 1 wanted to give it to 3*ouall of my own accord, aud you never asking me for anything this time at all." "A present, eh? Ah, that's my sweet Muriel! But, by jove! you make a mis take; indeed you did. I wasn't going to ask you for money���'devil a stiver!' as your Irish girls say. I���I wanted you to ���to���" He paused, his brandy clogored brains refusing to provide a substitute for his intended petition. "Tell me, dear. I will do anything to please you, Ralph," urged the submissive Muriel. "I shan't ask you anvtning now, as you're such a brick," s,udKestrel,evading the difficulty. "Show us the present- see if I like it. Is it money?" "No, dear, not money this time; I thought what you had on We Inesuay���" "Tuesday���it wiis Tuesday." "Well, on Tuesday, then*; I thought tbat would last you." I say, sweetheart, you'll have to stump up a merry little fifteen as well. Sorry to have to ask you, but can't help it." "O Ralph!" i "Don't say *0 Ralph!" but out with the money, and make haste. We shall have that fellow Donovan back again any moment. O, be thinks I'm a Johnny, he does! He's been letting me into some nice little plans, I can tell you, I've promised to do what you want���or what he wants���but, Muriel, my dear, every man has his price, and mine's twenty pounds at the present moment. See ?" "I have no money here." 'Rot! you've always got money. Fork It ont! I'm going a journey; must hare coin for hotel bill, railway ticket, and all the other infernal things." "I can give you a cheque for ten pounds." "Cheque won't do, and ten pounds won't do; must have cash. You've always given me cash before." "But today I spent all I had in buying you that pin���indeed, it's the truth I'm telling you." "What the dickens did you do that for?" "Why, dear, it seems not nice to give money to the man one is engaged to; it is like buying him; it humiliates yon and it humiliates me." "What bosh! Stuff! fiddlesticks!

"Fork out the ten, I say, or by heaven I'll split;���blow all your blooming trk���s into the air, see if I don't!" The clock struck eleven. An ominous silence fell upon the room. Kestrel stood balancing himself, with his legs wide apart and a leer of defiance upon his sodden face. Muriel faced him, deathly pale, sick with disgust, stricken with shame and dismay. The shadow by the buhl cabinet remained dark and motionless. At length Muriel spoke i "I have told you 1 have no money in the house to-night���I have no means of getting any. I will write you a cheque for fifty pounds, which you must consider the price of your silence. Is that understood?" "Make it a hundred." "I can spare but fifty pounds. "Say sixty, Muriel." "Sixty, then." She sat at her davenport, and rapidly wrote the cheque; then rising, she rang the bell for a servant. "Take this aud go," giving Kestrel the cheque; "go, and forget me and all you know of me." Turning to the servant who answered the summons, she said impassively, "Show Mr. Kestrel to the gate," and returned at once to I he library. Kestrel gazed after her stupidly for a moment; then muttered to the servant some incohereney about a "bit of a tiff," and pouring out halt a-tumbler of brandy gulped it down, and stagger J out at the door.

IT WILL LAST TILL -**- aU THE NEW YEAR DAWNS "We refer to our 20 per cent, reduction sale, which is the town talk just at present. Everything we promised in the way of re- ductionsit has been proven we have done. Misrepresenta1 ion may draw trade to-day, but it hurts the trade of the future. The most careful and judicious buyers in the district have informed us that when they require a first-class article, at a low price, their experience has been that it saves a great deal of time arid worry by coming direct to us. We make a spt-cialty of Fine Goods, and have imported material into N anaimo which it was heretofore impossible to procure outside of the large Cities. This means a bigger outlay, and necessitates our carrying a stock of between $35,000 and $40,000, but we have to do it to get the assor;ment. We have received another shipment of goods irom Scotland to-day. This lot of cases contains Flannels, Black and Navy Serges, Meltons, and a large variety of Black Figured Dress Goods We haT e also received a half dozen of White Blankets, as a trial order. These goods are really something choice, and as there is only a few pair we expect them to sell very quickly. While you are figuring what you will have for your father, mother, sister, brother, or someone else's brother, for Christmas, we would suggest your calling and taking a look through our Immense Stock, when you will readily find something to suit you. i��� SLOAN & SCOTT Ifo �� ailg Mtqxm.

It is opined by the Coloin.it that the quartette of crooks tried and sentenced in Nanaimo are identical with the highwayman who gave Victoria so much trouble recently. They had all been arrested for vagrancy in the capital before coming here. Large numbers of deer have been seen in the Nanoose Bay district lately, an Indian having shot nine in one day and a party of Indians taking away 32 in a canoe to New Westminster. Mr. Morello saw a largs panther on the road within a few yards of him near his farm, whioh is in that distriot. The residents of Irwin street are anxious for a sidewalk to be placed on that street as it is very muddy at present and they find it hard to get a dry pathway to and from their residences. It has also been suggested by one of the householders in that locality that some improvement might be made in the appearance of the fence round Deveril square, whioh at present is an eyesore.

The new sleamers for the Great Northern trana-Pacitic line, which are being built in England, will he put on the route between Seattle and China and Japan next May. All the provisions and equipments which the schooner Maud S. of Viotoria will require during her soiling cruise in Japanese waters next season will also be selected in Victoria aud sent across. This partially dispels the idea that Yokohama is to become the Mecca of the sealing fleet, for it means that some of the sealers at least will be patriotic. Several sealers have already signed at the customs house to leave on various schooners, and many others will follow their example next week, when it ia expected a number of the fleet will sail. Hunters are at present asking $4 a skin for the coming season, but it is not at all probable that this figure will be p>id, for owners consider the demand excessive. The schooners preparing to depart next week are having 'heir rigging, sails, etc., adjusted, and the work gives employment to a good many men. The Umbrina, Enterprise, Casco and Sadie Turpel will probably be the first away, and each of theBe will be commanded hy the captains who were in charge last season, and all will carry white'erews from Victoria.���Colonist.
