The 'Spaakor" Demands that the Peers Shall be Abolished���T. P. O'Connor Suggests How to End the Trouble. e The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.���No Ammonia; No Alum. Used in Millions of Homes���40 Years the Standard (Copyright 1893, by the United Preaa.) London, Feb. 17.���The Liberals' plan is to triumph over the Peers by compelling them to abandon their amendments to the Parish Councils bill. They are hopeful of success, but they may receive a sharp setback next weeK. It is not improbable that the Peers will declare their adhesion to certain points which the Government considers impossible. The Conservatives in the House of Commons have surrendered much, but not all questions concerning the control of Charities, the Allotments, the Poor Law and Boards of Guardians and tbe reform of the London vestries; they are still bones of contention between tho Government and Opposition. '1 lii-be (juration* must bo set tied in the Government's (avor before the Liberals can truthfully boast of compelling tho assent of the Peers to the programme of the Commons. If Lord Salisbury should concede everything involved in the disputi, he would do so probably in deference to the personal wisheB of the Queen, who is known to dread an open conflict between the two Houses. She is convinced that suoh a conflict would cause universal clamor for tbe abolition of the hereditary lawmakers, and the same conviction has ere this caused her to inter- fere, notably in 1884, when tbe two Houses quarrelled seriously over tbe redistribution of -*e*itq under tho Frauohise Reform. The Que* u then suiumoued the Duke of Rich- nii'iid aud mad.* him an intermediary for the settlement of the quesiions at issue betweon Lord Salisbury and Mr. Gladstone. Since then, popular dislike of the hereditary piiviieges of the upper House has b,c_ie inimmitied, and the Royal Family fears that if an attack upon these privileges be once fairly organized it will soon affect the prerogatives of the Crown. For these reasons the Queen's influence has been exerted already to induce the Tory Peers to act with greater prudenoe. Whatever may be the rertlt of the Queen's interference, many Liberals and all Radicals feel that the time is ripe to limit the power of the Lords to veto the decisions of the Commons. No surrender of the Lords on existing issues is likely to modify the determination of these men to deal radically with the Upper House. As the Tories have perpetual control of the Peers, they hold and will hold the power to wreck all LiliL il legislation. They have not hesitated to reject the Home Rule Bill; they have made every effort to deairoy the Employer's Liability and Parish Council's Bills; they have already made their preparations to defeat in the next session the Welsh 1). establishment and Registration Reform Bills. With such a Tory oligarchy per mauently ruling'he couniry, the Liberals ask how it will be possible lo proceed with any reforms. The Speaker voices the opinion of the best minds- iu the Liberal party when it demands that (he Piers power of veto shall be abol lBhed, while iho "House shall be allowed to ��: aim as a venerable ruin, continuing sunn customs as are completely harmless." The Radical Stat; T. P. O'Connor a daily suggests: "The Cabinet ought to end the trouble by adding to some important bill the declaration of the House of Commons that it is m, unst good Government that the House of Lords interfere therewith." Another proposal is that the House of Commons shall refuse to vote the salaries of the officials of the Upper House, thus giving the Peers summary notice to quit. The explosion near Greenwich Observatory on Thursday eveniug has caused a vast amount of newspaper talk concerning the ��� 'ai^iis f iwit'ivhiMii in England. An official well acquainted with the methods and personnel ot the anarchist colony here told the United Press correspondent, however, tl at iht'ie whs hardly one dozen militant anarchists ot English birth directly. The (Joloi.y was made up, he said, of squalid no- bodys, wretchedly poor and without organization as a party. These men, he thought, were powerless to do much harm. The French, Swiss aud Italian anarchists, he said, did not constitute, either individually or collectively, suoh a daujeroua social factor in London, as sensational police reports had indicated. Commander Hodgett has brought out a new three-koehd boat at Cowes. The first trial, which was made yesterday, excited the interest of yachtsmen throughout the country. As the wind was light it waa hardly possible, however, to test the ability of the new model to counteract the tendency to roll in heavy sea. The result of the test yesterday was to notice the absence of sidewash. She ran wslt, waa quick in stays and tuined in her own length. Among the other advantages claimed for her is increaeed at ability, greater carrying capacity, higher apeed and greater ease in handling and steering. The Queen haa ordered the court officials to take Btrict precautions to prevent the sale of iu* reductions at court by men of title. The present actions at court have so long been matters of barter that the whole practice has b come publio scandal. All presentations from which the chaperones reoeive money will be cancelled publicly. Hereafter but 200 presentations will be allowed at each drawing room. THE RUSSO-GERMAN TREATY. Grain Measures Cause Discussion���The Agrarians Are Opposed to It. [Copyright, 181M, by the United Press.] Berlin, Feb. 17.���Yesterday and to-day the Bundesrath or Federal Council debated the Commercial Treaty with Russia and practically gave ita unanimous approval to the measure. The Treaty will be placed before the Reichstag on Monday and the debute on it will begin on Thursday. It wi ��� reported that the representative, of Bavaria I in the Kund'Sraih mads tber a ������sent to the Ueal.y couili*ion��l ii,i"n ih* abolition of uncap grain tariffs on the railways of Eastern Prussia, but a little inquiry proved that the report wasnot true. Negotiations are proceeding between the governments of Prussia, Bavaria aud Wurtemburg, with a view to arranging a modification of these tariffs, but as Prussia admits that the demands of the western and southern states on this -question muBt be met, there iB no likelihood of any dangerous dispute arising. Under the present system, grain rates from East Prussia decrease in ratio as to distance. A reduction in the duties on Russian corn which would lead to an influx of grain from Russia, would expose the agriculturists of Bavaria and the southern afitea to the disadvantages arising from graduated railway ratea. As the time draws near for influencing tho members of the Reichstag, either for or against the Russian treaty, great activity is d splayed by those interested. Resolutions in favor of the treaty ae pouring in. Every Chamber of Commerce and Industrial Society in the Empire has Bent, or is preparing to aend,memorials to the Reichstag. Special delegates will be sent to the Reichstag from Berlin, Crefeld, Leipsic, Frankfort and other centres, to work in favor of the measure. The Agrarians who are bitter opponents of the treaty, are actively conducting a campaign to influence the Reichstag against thi meaaure. An immense mass meeiing at which, it is estimated, 5.C00 members of the Agrarian party were present, was held to-day in the Feen Palace here. Resolutions were adopted declaring against the hill and much enthusiasm was shown. The Semites present at the meeting, assured lhe app oval of a resolution de-, clariug that eveiy member of the Agrarians must belong to some Christian body. KASLO-SLOCAN NEWS. The Ores are Working Well���One of the Biggest Bonanzas in the Camp. Kaslo, B.C., Feb. 17.���[Special]���Despite thu drop in silver, everything goea on as usual in the Slocan, aud all speak hopefully of the future. Cameron and McDonald have contracted to rawhide and bring down 500 tona of ore from the Grady group on Four Mile Creek to the ehore of Slooan lake at Silvertown. They are now putting up the neoessary buildings for their outfit and making a trail. A good rawhide trail has been made to the Payne mine and ICO tons of ore ia being brought down to Three Forks. This mine was the first located in the camp and the ore iB very rich, 'he owners are Soott, McDonald and S. S. Bailey. The Noble Five mine is n**w sending down a carload of specially piked ore, which the own -s claim will exceed anything that has yet been shipped from the camp. The Noble Five ia atill owned and worked by the original locators, Jack McOuiean is the business manager and the brothers HenneBy are iu charge at. the mine. They have oer- tainly got one of the biggest bonanzas in the oamp and uulesa they got a very big oiler indeed, it is probable tha, they will hold on to it. It's reported that the Finch outfit haa struck four feet of rich ore at the Virginius in White Water Basin. They have run in an 83-foot tunnel in two months. Owners of other claima in the White Water are jubilant over it. The C. P. R. aurveyors are now surveying the townsite of Three Forks. The snow is making their work very laborious. Kaslo haa now daily bulletins of the price of ailver, which are eagerly watched for by all the mining men. The weather ia keeping fair and temperate. The outlet to Nelson is quite clear of ice, and the proba- bilty is there will be no interruption to navigation. German Currency Commission. Berlin, Feb. 17���The acheme of Chancellor Von Caprivi to bring about an abatement of the hostility of the bimetalliBta, by appointing a currency commission, is likely to fail. Instead of relaxing their opposition the bimetalliats have intensified it. Out of the sixteen membera of the currency commission six are silver meu. Thia iB rhought to be a large enough minority, considering how they rank in the Reichstag. The silver supporters, however, waut to have eight of the membera of the commission. Four of the ablest Bilver meu have been appointed membera of the commission. These are Herr Arendt, Hen* von Kardorff, Count von Mirbach and Count von Schorle- meialst. They may, perhaps, decline to ait aa membera. The conviction growB, that the inquiries of the commission, like similar ourreuoy inquiries made in other countries, will result in nothing of benefit. A Reconveyance Demanded. Washington, 1). C, Feb. 17.���Commissioner Lamoreaux haa been directed >*y the Secretary of the Inerior to demand of the California nnd Oregon Land Company, a reconveyance of a number of tracts of land on its rou'e for which patents were erioumusly granted.

Colton, Cal., Feb. 17.���Citizens of this city were much shocked this afternoon hearing of the suicide of one of our prominent citizens, John M, White. Hia wife went to Riversidi to see about the Keeley cure, and wheu she returned at 4 o'cioca, she got a note on the table, saying "Goodbye, Keeley cure is a fake, I just now awoke and about ae drunk aa when I went to sleep." She went to the bed and found a revolver in hia light hand and a bullet through the left breast. Deceased leaves a wife and a baby a few months old. The Mexican Fell Dead. Santa Ana, Cal., Feb. 17.���George Emerson, who shot and killed Louis Yerba, a Mexican at Santa Argo canyon early this morning, gave himself into the custody of the officers at Santa Ana, claiming to have done the shooting in self defence. He Baid that himself and his brother, Louis Emerson, were taking a load of lumber and tools to erect a cabin on their claim. They had nearly reached their claim when Yerba, who had done some work for Emerson, approached them and attacked Louis Emerson with a club. Louis turned to run but stumbled and fell down. The Mexican raised his club to strike the prostrate man when George shot the greaser iu the side. The greaser then turned hiB attention to him and (leorge pointed his gun blindly towards the Mexican and fired, then turned to run. The Mexican followed af**ws'eps when he fell dead. They then unloaded their wagon as quickly as possible and came to Santa Ana, giving themselves up to the officers. The Conner left, for the scene of the tumble thi" morning. The Emerson's are working around Santa Ana aud bear an excellent repu at ion. Roscoe Train Robbers Still Roaming. Los Angeles, Cal., 7:30 p.m., Feb. 17.��� An United Press representative has returned from upper San Fernando Valley thirty miles distant from here, where it was reported that tho Roscoe train robbers had been captured this morning. United States Marshal Garb, Sheriff Cline and a dozen officers and 'letectives who have been out since ycsterdiy morning were found by the United Press repre.-em . Ive near Calabasas and returned with them this evening. They are at a loss to know how the rumor got out of the capture as there are no wireB from any points they have been at during thp day. They have no clue whatever and seem to he at a less to kn iw what to do next. They, or Borne of them, will start out to-morrow morning, but they have no plans of action at this lime.

Clark, undergoing examinatim United States Commissioner Faircluld'a fice in the Federal Building, held up com miasioner United States District Attorney, speoial post-office Inspector Latimer and Deputy United Slates Marshall Watts, st the point of his revolver and then bolted and made goo 1 his escape. Harris was arrested in .the postoffice at noon to-day by special agent Latimer on the charge of forging the name of Wm H. Clark to a money- order for $100 in Valparaiso, Ind., some weeks ago. Everything was going on quietly at the examination, when Harris jumped to his feet and pulling his big gun, yelled, "Hold up your hands or I'll blow your d d braina out." Harris then backed toward the door, and with hia revolver still covering the court officials, he slipped the bolt with his left hand, and opening the door, bolted iuto the oorridor, locking the door after him. Quick aa a flash, Inspector Latimer threw open a window and fired his revolver into the air, to attract attention, and then shouted, "Stop him, stop him!" A orowd quickly gathered, but Harris had got safely out of the build ing and was gone before the police arrived. Harris was for many years an employee of the New York postoffice. Silk Weavers' Strike in New York. New Vork, Feb. 17.���Thia afternoon shortly alter the striking weavers' committee, which had a conference with the manufacturers at Steinhard's mill, had made its report, the follow iug circular was issued: "Since many years the silk ribbon weavers of the Unit id States have found themselves in a very deplorable condition, inasmuch as their wages have been constantly reduced. They have scarcely b��en able to meet the demands of their families, and aB the crisis of last September alao had its subsequent disastrous effect, the weavers were unable to stand the strain any longer, bo, a good mauy were forced to the degradation of accepting public charity. Under all these conditiona, it is to be noted that the Bilk ribbon indue ry, through the tariff of fifty percent., iB most pro ected of all others. Now, in order tn improve upon our miserable existence aud to be able to earn a respectable living and shake off the shackles of starvation, we have formulated a price list which we have submitted to ,|' the manufacturers of New York, who wiih ut exception have refused to recognize it. The weavers were, therefore, forced to strike in a body, and moat emphatically resolved, as a matter of principle, to rather starve in the streets thin in the mills. Comrades and fellow-workmen, everywhere, we appeal to you and enlist, your sympathy so as to morally support ua in our aupreme effort and implore you to likewise take the position with us so tha' we cau make and earn a living such as b;*co* ies the standard of manhood. As citizens of the United States, we do not desire the luxuries iu which the manufacturers indulge, who look "ti calmly and with indifference and see our wives ami children on the verge of starvation. Therefore, fellow-workmen, arise and organize, help ua in our struggle to improve the deplorable condition in which we find ourselves. Yours fraternally, The General Strike Committee." While the committee waa in session Edward Feeney, of the board of mediation and arbitration, called and asked to be allowed to address them, offering his services aB arbitrator in the matter between the manufacturers and strikers. Mr. Feeney was refused admission to the meeting, but the chairman stated the object of hia visit to the committee, after about an hour's discussion, the chairman announced to Mr, Feeney that the oommittee had no authority to accept him as an arbitrator.

The Dominion exports for the last seven months show an increase of ��3,000,000 over the corresponding period laat year. There is considerable talk in Ottawa over the P. E. I. Lieutenant-Governorship. The General impression is that Senator Howland as the whip hand. Judge Archibald's official judgment reached the Montreal city hall Friday afternoon. It gives Mr. Villeneuve a majority of 214. The new mayor was officially proclaimed yesterday. Colonel French, R.A., the first commissioner of the Northwest Mounted Police, who has been for the last eight years commandant of the Queenaland local forces, has been appointed to an important position in India. Alexander Mackenzie, a well-known C. P. R. official, has resigned, having accepted the position of general superintendent at Montreal of the Dominion Coal company. This is the company which recently purchased certain coal mines in Nova Scotia. Tom Purcell, the aged rancher now on trial at Lethbridge for the murder of another rancher named Akcrs, last December, took the Btand in hia defence. He said Akers had brutally aaaaulted him with a whip, and that he had shot him in self defence. Before a . large audience at the Grand Opera House at Hamilton Friday evening, Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper delivered a lecture, his subject being "Canadian Footprints." The lecture van under the aus pices of the Canadian club, and was well received. A repreaentative of Mr. Wade, the London architect who secured the contract for the Macdonald memorial at Montreal, is there to complete arrangements for the erection of the monument. Twenty thousand dollars have been subscribed and the work will be commenced at once. P. D. McCallum, P. P. A. member for East Lambton, was introduced to the Ontario legislature on Friday, George Campbell, ex-member for East Durham and D. Mc- Naughton, of North Bruce, acting as hiB sponsers. Mr. McCallum's introduction was observed in dead silence by the House, a thing probably unprecedented in the history of the chamber. Rumors are circulated in political circles at Ottawa, that a change is contemplated in the cabinet, by giving Hon. J. C. Patterson a judgeship, and giving Senator Sanford a portfolio. There are some speculations rife as to who will get the vacant Lieutenant- Governorship of Prince Edward Island, and several persona are ni'med iu this tounec- tion, among them Senator Howlan, and Hon. L. C. Owen, a former premier of the province. PROVINCIAL NEWS. The New Westminster police continue to carry on an active campaign against tramps and vagrants. The damage by fire at Ihe Anderson electric building in Vancouver waB greatly exaggerated. It amounted to not much more than an incipient blaze. A special sitting of the exchequer court of Canada will be held in Vancouver on May 17th. How many know the particular business of the exchequer court? A challenge to all swimmers has been issued by "Kalelej," a Frenchman iu Victoria, who offers to Bwim a hundred yards race for $50 a side. The challenge, which is open for one week, can be closed at F. Campbell's corner. It ia proposed to establish a hospital at Kaslo and liberal aid is already being offered towards the project. Another local eneleavor of a number of the people of Kaslo aims at inducing the municipality to exempt all improvements from taxation. Mr. Stoess, C.E., is at present engaged preparing plans and specifications of the tramway service from New Westminster to Steveston. The oompany hopes to have this work beguu very soon and to huve the road opeu for traffic in lime for the comiirg season. Bank of England officials ought to know that Canada is a British possession anel is no part of the United Slates. Yet a letter passed through the Hamilton postofficn Thursday morning addressed to Walter T. Evans, "14 Main street east, Hamilton, Ont., U. S. A." It waa from the chief accountant of the Bank of England. The Grand Lodge of British Columbia, I. 0.0.F., closed its session in Vancouver after three days' meetings yesterday afternoon. The business discussed was of such a nature that it does not concern the general public. The next annual meeting will be held in Victoria during the month of June, 1895. The Vanoouver World���Doctors in this Province are not Bupposed to advertise, but some of them come mighty near it. In a Nanaimo paper there is published a card of thanks from a patient to two local doctors who cured him. This is very much like an encroachment, on the field of the advertising quacks who weary you with tales of countless cures. The Comox News aays: "S. Cliffe's sleigh has been in oourse of construction for about thice years, having been done during eparq moments when not engaged in othir numerous onerous dutieB. It is a daisy? Mr. H. Stewart has been engaged to give it a coat of lath and plaster, when it will bo deemed complete." It should be a perennial daisy. The Vancouver World denies that Mayor Anderson of that city has been assisting the Fraaer river bridge and railway project at the capital. The World says: "His Worship had other matters to look after and neither directly nor indirectly did he take any part with thoae who are log-rolling the scheme through the Legislature." The World bitterly opposea the scheme. The harbor at Union wharf last Wednes- day, presented a lively scene. There were five steamers and two Failing ships in at the same time. There were the San Mateo, Mincola, Joan, Brunette, Richard III, Occidental, and one other. The people of Union are smiling and saying that at a not very distant period this will be a common occurrence at their outer port. Dominion Day fills on Sunday thia year, and bo the opportunity will be afforded of having a change in the method of ita celebration. It is supposed that the Monday following will be devoted to the usual jubilation, but on the Christian community will devolve the responsibility of observing the day proper. In tho east union thanksgiving services for the oouutry's prosperity are being talked of as well aa the preparation ���f speoial anthems. DO YOU KNOW "W IE .A.

Mr. Davie presented the redistribution bill in the Legislative Assembly on Friday. As we stated yesterday the total representation remains the same, viz. 33 members. Of these 19 will represent the mainland and 14 the island. This is as nearly in accordance with the principle of representation by population as iB practically possible. If the total white population of British Columbia is divided by 33, the number of members, the quotient, which is 1,938, is the number of white persons who at present are entitled to one representative. Indians und Chinese, who do not possess the franchise, are not taken into account. As stated above the number nf representatives given to tho mainland is 19, and to the island 14 This by a similar process to that above for the whole enfranchised population, gives one representative for every 1,963 white persons on the mainland, and one for eery 1,999 on the island. Alberni and the islands lose their representatives. On the other hand the New Westminster district, which had heretofore three representatives, will henceforth have four. West Kootenay also gets another member. An additional representative will be given Vancouver city. The representation of the other cities of the Provinoe, Victoria, New Westminster and Nanaimo will remain uu- altered. The bill has evidently been carefully considered by the Government, but no one expects that it will give satisfaction to the Opposition, especially to the Independent branch of it. In point of fact there is every reason lo think that the gentlemen composing both branches of the Opposition do not want to be satisfied, and consequently could not be satisfied by any bill that the Government could introduce. But we think the new bill will give satisfaction to the electors generally, and that is a more important matter than trying to give satisfaction to a number of disgruntled jjoliticiuna who nfu**e to be satisfied, because they covet aud cannot get the positions occupied by the members of the Government. ThiB is in fact the secret of the whole business. The leading men in the Opposition, and especially the . self-appointed leaders of the Independents who regularly vote with the Opposition, want themselves to form a Government; but we think the country at large does not want them, and won't have them at any price. The bill will undoubtedly undergo a severe and searching examination, and auy anomalies it may leave unredressed will be sure to be pointed out and criticized unsparingly. This is at once the duty and privilege of the Opposition, and if it is done in a spirit of fairness and candor no one will have a right to complain. It is to be feared, however, it will be one of carping and fault-finding, not of legitimate criticism. This from past experiences is doubtless expected by the Government, and will have to be met as best it may. As we have said above, we think the bill will give general satisfaction, but that it will satisfy everyone, or the claims of every district, is not to be expeced. The most that can be done is to try and satisfy reasonable claims, and to remove glaring anomalies in the representation. This, we think, has been doue, the reasonable and just claims of the Mainland and its increasing importance have *"been recognized, and impartial men. generally will see that the Government proposals are about the best that could be made. Hence such men will accept tbe bill aiuj''support of the Republican party, is to the advantage of Canada, and to the disadvantage or rather the ruin of the farmers, miners, and lumberers of the United States. With respect to coal the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the leading Republican organ of Washington State, says "In the matter of free coal with present duty of 75 cents a ton on bituminous coal the American producer and miner have never been sufficiently protected. Nova Scoria coal has always been burned in New England, and the British Columbian and Australian mines have dominated the Pacific coast trade and the California markets. The passage of the Wilson tarilf bill will enable tho Whitney Nova Scotia syndicate to market all their coal on the Atlantic seaboard and will add largely to the value of the British Columbia mines." Not a syllable is said of the advantage it will be to the people of the United States to get cheap supplies of coal and lumber from Canada, but the jealousy and greed of American workmen is being constantly appealed to by every argument that can be devised to incite them against the Democratic administration for introducing a tar'F bill that will be in any way favorable to Canadian interests. Such is the line of argument now being universally adopted by the press of the Republican party in the United States, by the press of the party with which tbe Grits cf Canada maintain friendly relations, with whose leaders, the Grit leaders associate, with whom, unless they are much belied, they take council how best to bring about the annexation of Canada to the United States, and who are often associated with them in addressing public meetings in Canada. In return the Grit leaders never fail to address Republican audiences when they go south, often uttering sentiments of very questionable loyalty���sentiments that are neither British nor Canadian���and doing their best to inculoate the idea that if the Americans continue to refuse to* trade on equal terms with Canada, Canadians will at last be forced iu despair to cast themselves nto the arms of Uncle Sam, and humbly ask for the annexation of Canada to the Union.

As PRE-SUPPOSED in the Saturday issue of this paper, the Opposition press is not, may nol, be satisfied with the redistribution bill. The local organ growls, but in such manner that under presume it will be able without much compromise, to "take it all back." This is subtle policy, but it stinks iu the nostril* of staunch and honest partisans of either side who like to hear a man with a defined policy, and see any press organ with thu courage of its convictions. As one uf a quartette the local sheet makes a very pour sounding, and in no ways a good accompanist to either the wind-cracked coruet of the Royal City, the clamorous'cello at the Terminal town or Ihe constant sawing of the lirst liddle at the Queen City. The London polioe, it appears, raided the Autonomic Club ou Friday night and arrested all the members to be found, some 80 or so. The men arrested were mostly Germaus and Bohemians. The police search**, d the premises and also the lodgings of several of the anarchists, notably that of Pourdin, finding a quantity of anarchist litem* me, a few explosives and many copies of a manifesto printed in red ink and headed "Death to Carnot!" in French. Thousands of similar manifestoes have been circulated in France lately. All the prisoners were liberated shortly after midnight, the chief objert of the police having been to examine them and the premises where they harbored. We do uut tcz what good this vull accomplish. The auaichistn will simply laugh at the English police aud their milk and water methods. They should have held the anarchists when they had them, aud banished every one of them who could not give a good account of himself and prove it.

THE WILSON TARIFF BILL. The Wilson tariff bill is likely to be passed by the Senate without material change. The rage of the Republican party nod of the protectionists thereat is unbounded The Republican papers claim that the bill haB been passed by the House of representatives in tbe worst form possible, because it places ooal and lumber on the free list, and reduces or abolishes the duty on most sorts of agricultural produce. This, say the organ DR. A, TERRIBLE accident to the German war ship Brandenburg is reported. The particulars, so far as they are at present known, were given in the despatch published in our issue of yesterday. It is stated that 41 men were killed instantly, and nine more fatally wounded. It appears that new boilers had RESIDl^lVT1 been put into the ship, and that she had been sent on a trial trip from the port of Kiel to test them. From some cause or other the boilers exploded, killing and wounding 50 of the crew, and doing much damage tn the ship. The cause most likely was scamped work in constructing the boilers. Instances of such work often occur in England, and t be Germans, who work cheaper than the English, are certainly not better workmen. The Briiish Government in their rage for free trade and cheapness have sometimes given contracts to German makers for swords and bayonets, and have found when the articled were delivered that the swords would not cut, aud that the bayonets would bend like ' pieces of hoop iron���that they wore in fact perfectly useless. A rigid investigation will DO doubt be ordered by the German Emperor, and the guilty parties will have a good chance to be punished as tbey deserve, if bad workmanship or defective materials was the cause of the trouble. r>R.

The peat makes good fuel, but its bulky nature is a disadvantage. In its compressed form the peat resembles a block of anthracite coal, and is of about equal weight. If the experiment results successfully it may help to solve the fuel question, It is said that there is plenty of muskeg in the West from which this fuel oan be manufactured. Specimens of thia compressed subBtauce obtained trout peat secured near St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, had the appearance if ordinary hard coal, aod if it can be produced cheaply enough, it would no doubt make good fuel, and is cleaner to handle than coal.

Wellington left Departure Bay last night for San Franoisco having on board five pieces of coal, shipped by the Dunsmuir Co., to the Midwinter Fair. One block weighs 6.000 lbs., and another, which is braced up to prevent its breaking, weighing something over 5.000 lbs. The biggest block came out of No. 5 shaft. A meeting was held a few nights ago by the miners at Northfield to consider oertain charges laid against Dr. Campbell. They were not proved, however, and by vote of two, his services are to be retained. The meeting waB a hot one, endiug with angry words on both sides. There is still going to be another meeting today, the oomplaiuing parties not being satisfied yet. Our Wellington correspondent writes: That the people of Northfield are indignant at the item whioh appeared in yeaterday'a issue of this pap**r, that the Northfield mine is working again with a full run. He further adds: That it is uot bo. Tho miners are laid off again to-day and lhe prospeots are that they will only he on and off for a month. Suoh statements lead people to think th-it there is lots of work and meu are coming around seeking work while really there is not enough to employ the resident population. In answer lo the foregoing, this paper regrets having been misled iu the matter. The news giver of the item was oarefully questioned, with the result that it waB vouohed for aa perfectly true In view of tho present state of labor, The Telegram would, if it knew, be the last to spread false reports of suoh a nature. churches.

Iu ihe firat place I lay no claim to being a political Liberal, but in visiting the meetiug the other night I heard two very able orations, afier which, for the clearing up of a point, I asked Mr. Marchant if I could ask a question. Certainly, he said, and he got up asking if it could be allowed. To the orator of the evening oame the answer "No!" I have no criticism to make as to whether the reply showed a lack of courtesy to that gentleman, but I do criticise the act of asking any person to elect officers and sign a document before he knows exaotly what he ia doing. What would a limb of the law say to that let alone an ordinary business man? The shoe of foolishness must surely be on the other foot. Yours truly, J. E. Halton. Sohool of Penmanship. The young man with a bad handwriting who seeks employment among business men finds there iB no demand for his awkwardness at any price. Everyone who uses a pen should write legibly aud attractively. There is no excuse in these days for a young person to write in a slovenly manner. This Bhould be left to those of a past g n rat ion, who were educated before the days of business training schools. Hero all of ordinary intelligence and application can acquire a good business handwriting, the value of which is not easy to compute. The Nanaimo Business College has a speoial department of penmanship, at the head of which is Mr. J. R. Denneny, who is acknowledged to be not only one of the finest penman in the world, but one of the best teachers and developers of good penmanship in others. 18-2-lm Odu Fellows' Block, Nanaimo Goderich, Feb. 7th, 1894.

The swamp had a large number of sightseers present to view the match between the Nanaimo Swifts and the Wellington team. The result of the match was rather a surprise as during tho first half two goals were eoored for Nauaimo, yet in the second hall the Wellington team made three goals, thus becoming victors. The Nanaimo team played well throughout aud had amongst their numbers aeveral youthful players who, notwithstanding their diminutive size, played with the rest a hard and fast combination game. Tho two goals scored were by Messrs. Drummond aud Mc- Cann. The Wellington boys played their best yesterday and scored their goals within a marvelously short period of oue another, They returned last evening jubilant to their homes. It has been suggested in connection with this match that a few of the flowery remarks used at times by a few of the players would have been bettor left out. Spider and Fly. Thia spectacular burlesque on being presented at thu Vancouver Opera House last evening, was met with a crowded house, at 7:45 not even standing room being obtain able iu the gallery. Since last here the "Spider and Fly" has been re-written, and a number of adequate changes havo been made in the cast. The scenery, too, is new and appropriate, and as a whole last evening's produotion was a credit to the management. The audience was very exacting, Buch a large number of encores being awarded that the French ballet did not have an opportunity to show what they could do. Last night, the Putnam Sisters, Katie Marcellus and Bertie Crawford carried off the honors in their respective parts, while Will Mandevilie and J. A. Kiernan kept the house in roars of laughter by their antics and clever business. The novelties introduced were new to these parts and were well staged. To-night the "Spider and Fly" will couclude thiB engagement with changes as B'.ated above. It is well worth seeing. The company will remain in town till Monday, when they go over to Nanaimo.���Vancouver Newt-Advertiser (Saturday). SHIPPING NKW VANCOUVER OOAIi COMPANY, Sp. Watchuset, Williams, iB due. Bk.

C, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 18. 1894. < atimdtion in which Mr. Newton 'yraa held, lint aside from this the intrinsic worth ot the young men and their capacities for guiding and organizing volunteers made them a most valuable acquisition whero raw troops were liable to Lo called into immediate action. In the excitement and hurry of this startling call for volunteers Euotace had not forgotten to arrange his business securely, and to leave also in case of his i'*:ll a will by which his property was placed under Mr. Newton's care in trust for Lillian, his wife. A clause in the will was also executed, linowii only to Lillian and placed iu her hands, securing the Montgomery property to Mr. Newton and his heirs in case of Us present owner's death. Lillian, immediately after her marriage, assumed the entire care of little Jennie Le Barron, and with her hus' band's approbation withdrew her from the city school and placed her in an institution near her father's. Of Estella Le Barron little was known. It was supposed she had embarked for Europe immediately after her ill advised marriage without learning of the desolation of her parents' house. Some weeks after her father's death a draft from Paris on him had been received at the bank where he had so often done business and of course rejected, by which it would seem that up to that time De Courtney still supposed that his wife way a, millionaire's daughter. A report was also current that Do Courtney was but an obscure adventurer, and when he found how he had been overmatched in duplicity by the crafty Estella he bad deserted her, saying that his wealth and high titles wero but imaginary and that a wife and children waited for him in America. This information had been communicated to Mr. Newton by Freeman, the former partner in the old busiuess, and anxious to ascertain if there was any foundation for the report he made inquiries. Nothing satisfactory could bo learned, however. That Maud had received some tidings of hor sister was apparent, but equally so that ber husband waa quite unwilling her former 'friends should learn anything from them of her condition. On this point for once Maud coincided with her husband. She cherished too bitterly the memory of ber sister's dishonorable desertion to allow one emotion of pity for her disappointment to find a place in her heart. The splendid equipage, costly furniture and magnificent attiro with which Varney had bought his bride lost their value, and her heart cried out for the love sho had so madly thrown away. And other sources of unhappiness opened before her. It took not many weeks for her to learn that an imbecile and superannuated husband was not so safely scorned and Blighted as she had fancied. Hor extravagance ho conld well afford and easily ovorloo1:, but contempt and insults unhesitatingly cast upon him he would not brook, and the misguided woman was shortly made to feol that an old man's unrestrained exhibition of vindictive wrath was not the least miserable part of her existence. Already had the call for hospital stores readied every town and village, and many active and energetic women were banded together to work for the sick and wounded among our brave defenders who might soon bo needing this aid. The le.i rs that comforted our friends from their absent*, ones almost daily kept them very thoroughly informed of the privations of the soldiers, and evt-'y moment they could be spared from necessary labor was conscientiously devoted to preparing articles for those so well deserving the cure. One evening when the ladies were quietly at work sewing, scraping lint or knitting am y mittens and Alfred Ciii- gontly improving the precious hours ia study Mr. Newton came in from the village with papers and a letter from George, saying: "Our boys will not complain much longer of inactivity, I think. Thero is every Indication of some important movements, and if our generals had tbe men into tho field efficiently wo may hope that this sad rebellion will soon be quelled and peace once more bless the land." George's letter was written in the hurry and excitement of preparing his men for action tho next day. It was short but full of zeal and courage. He spoke in high praise of the men under his command. "You will have no cause to blush, dear ones, if we bear ourselves half as gallantry on the field as these privates will do. A set of moro earnest, determined men I never saw. "It would be glorious if our generals were as ready to give themselves aa unselfishly to their country's service as aro our common soldiers, but I greatly fear that nt tho beginning our work will be retarded and the war protracted for months, when weeks should end it, by the maneuvering of those in commann, some of whom appear to be thinking far more of their own petty political ambitions than of the glory and honor of our country. "My dear Lillian, if all our leaders were as kind, yet firm, as trustworthy and pure hearted as your noble husbaud. I feel that a very short time would suf- jOLQ00ClC_.

We do not object to being criticised, nay, we court it, we welcome it, we with to live in the light of the open day, and are, indeed, glad to see the interest the public take in the Association and heartily sympathise in their jealousy for it's reputation. At the same time, it is clear, that things may be said and a general tone given wholly at variance with all expects tion and when this occurs, I submit, it is hardly fair to say, we should have known better than allow it. * * * * Capt.
