This expression is quoted from un article In the London -Economist referring to Sir Willi id Laurier's associates who entered public lile poor and acquired wealth. All this is at the expense of the settler. While* the Dominion loses the revenue that is not the worst. These timber lunds will be sold tor millions. The purchaser will get the money back by making the western settler pay. For all time to come the common people will pay tribute for the privilege of making a few men rich. T. A. Burrows, M.

His lands are selected from the Had River to the Rocky Mouniaius.

Notwithstanding thi' specific charges, notwithstanding the general belief in the west that the public domain has been plundered for the benefit of quartettes or quintettes of politicians. Sir Wilfrid Laurier refusetl an Investiga- tia,n and would give no reason for <le- nylng it. lt is true that the Premier was obliged last week laa bring down documa-nts which he at first refused.

Meeting Discussed Supreme Court, Fruit Land Advertising and Freight Rates. Two Important matters the Introduction of which was expected at last nights meeting, did not develop, but there was enough to keep a well attended gathering fully occupied for two hours and a half. The subjects of most Importance were the advertisement of fruit lands and the unannounced postponement of the sitting of the supreme court. Tke meeting was held last night in the court house wilh the following present; F. A. Starkey, ln the chair, P. ti. Ebbutf* secretary, K. K. Heeston. H. Ilyers, H. G. Uoodeve, I. ti. Nelson, D. C. Coleman, W. S. Drewry, A. W. Dyer, J. A. Irving. W. M. Walker, S. S. Taylor, W. H. Jones, J. J. Campbell, L. B. de Veber, A. McLean, W. Allen, W. A. Anstie, B. W. Widdowson, J. E. Annable. The minutes of the laat meeting were read and adopted, also the mluutes of a council meeting at which a resolution from the Fernie board of trade and the provincial government to defer action on the Coal Tax amendment bill, was endorsed. W. S. Drewry and F. W. Guernsey were elected members of the board without ballot. The president then explained ou behalf of the council that all that had been asked for in connection with the proposed change in the coal tax was delay. A petition to the provincial government asking for a bridge across the Kootenay River at Williams Siding was read. In which It was urged that a bridge at that., point would serve all residents along the river while a bridge at lleasley would be of no value to many ra-siilents, and also that a bridge there can be very easily built. It was moved by J. A. Irving and I. ti. Nelson that the petition be endorsed. A. W. Dyer urged that a bridge be asked without recommendation ol any particular point. W. Allen, having received permission to address the hoard, urged the claims of Beaaley staling. S. S. Taylor thought that the hoard should take no action in recommending a sita* without much fuller knowledge, lie moved in amendment that the gov- ernment be urged to construct abridge across the Kootenay River at an early date at some point between lleasley Siding and Kootenay crossing. The amendment was seconded by A. W. Dyer, and was carried. lt was resolved that the petition and resolution be forwarded to the government anal copies of the letter sent to Dr. Hall, M. L. A., and J. II. Schofield, M. L. A. A letter from R. llelnie. of the Dominion Express company, stated that it was not practical to extend the limits ror the parcel delivery in Nelson as requested by the board. A letter was read Irom .lames Finch of Coleridge, Alta., asking for confirmation of Information contained In a letter trom .lohn Hyslop relative to Fruitvalo lands, A reply had been sent by the secretary, expressing the opinion that Mr. Hyslop was very sanguine. s. s. Taylor regretted that the board had no Information In pamphlet form that could be sent Without personal criticisms. j. .1. Campbell said that no accurate Information coulal be compiled which would apply to nil such lands. He thought whal. might be possible for Mr. Hyslop might lie misleading to others. He was sure lhal if any one were seeking reliable Information. Mr. Hyslop was tha- first he would consult He did not think Mr. Hyslop would intentionally mislead uny one. L. II. da> Veber suggested that the Inquirer should be lold that much de- penned upon the rancher as well as upon the land. Mr. Campbell suggested that Mr. Finch be advised to investigate for hlni sail' and see what an average farmer might expect lo achieve. The motion was adopted. An Inquiry was received, and answer oil, us lo tha* opening in Nelson ror a plumbing and beating establishment. Enquiries had been received and answered relative to orchard values anil conditions. A letter trom the secretary of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association enclosed a report and asked co-opora- paeodojd ou.) ruoAaad ol |uojja uu U] uo;* lowering of reserves of flre Insurance companies. An accompanying resolution pointed out the dangers Involved in decreasing the security afforded. J. J. Campbell thought it a safe lead and moved that a letter be Bent to W. A. Galllber, M. P., asking him to oppose the hill referred to. A letter from It. Mortimer Lamb, of the Canadian Mining institute, offered a small library of mining texts If the board would undertake the care of lt. On motion of E. W. Widdowson It was resolved to ask the library to take care ..i lt until the board had suitable quarters ul its own disposal. A letter from a new commercial club of Nakusp asking for copies of bylaws had been answered. A letter from J. La. Retallack at Ottawa drew attention to the fact that C. P. K. rates to Glacier and return were only $55, while to Revelstoke and return either bv mainline or via Nelson is J!",. li. C. Coleman suggested bringing it to the attention of General Passenger Agent McPherson. He was sure the company intended to encourage tourist travel via the Kootenay lakes. The Thomson Stationery company of Vancouver asked for scenic views for a souvenir album. A. Lean���Send them my address. The letter was tiled. Other requests for views and literature bad been answered by the secretary. The secretary reported on the correspondence In regard to the American consular agency, which has already been published. Casually, lt developed that there bad been no acknowledgment of the board's petition to the consular authorities at Washington. Correspondence from the Fernie board in regard to the coal tax amendment was read. A letter from Dr. Hall stated that he had Interviewed Finance Minister Tat- low without avail. The president stated that the tax on coke had not been increased.' A letter from the deputy postmaster general stated that free mall delivery could not be granted to Nelson until the population reaches 12,000 although the revenue has reached the required amount, $20,000. It was forwarded to the board by W. A. Galllhcr, M. P.. with the characteristic comment: "Sorry, but the 20,000 club will have to get to work." I. G. Nelson's report as delegate to the Associated Boards was read by the secretary. The report was adopted and the delegates thanked. H. G. Goodeve reported for the freight rates committee that the report of their expert, E. K. Heeston. showed tbat there is discrimination against Nelson, and asking authority to instruct S. S. Taylor, K. C, to prepare the board's case for tbe railway commission. E. K. Beeston explained that from a great diversity and multiplicity of tariffs is was clear that Nelson Is discriminated against even in comparison with other western points. The committee's report was adopted and the authority asked for given. The president suggested a resolution asking for a much needed enlargement of the Nelson post offlce. Such a resolution was strongly recommended hy District Inspector J. R. Greenfield. A resolution embodying the request was drawn up by S. S. Taylor, and carried. E. W. Widdowson complained of the charge of 20 per cent, duty on ore sacks Bent to and from Northport. He moved that the attention of the commissioner of customs be called to the fact, which was adopted. A resolution thanking the postmaster general for the collection of mails, regretting that the delivery could not be granted, and promising to meet the population requirement within a year or two, was offered by A. W. Dyer but found no seconder. The president thought some notice should be taken by the board of the failure of the supreme court to hold a sitting at Nelson on a statutory date. S. S. Taylor. K. C, thought it a very proper suggestion. He added: "We should hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may." He recited the facts of the matter and the grave Inconveniences and loss resulting. He thought no time should be lost by the board as representing the business interests or Nelson in recording an emphatic protest. He mentioned what the bar bad I done and urged that tke board also address the attorney general. The president referred to the general opinion throughout the province that the Interests of justice are at least endangered hy the personal quarrels among the judges. He urged lhat the Dominion minister of justice he memorialised as well as the provincial attorney general. While a resolution was being drawn W. II. Jones asked: "Has the attorney general any power over the judges?" The president���"Apparently no one has." D. C. Coleman then offered the following resolution, which was seconded by J. E. Annable. "That this board bring to the attention of the attorney general the fact' that no judge attended at Nelson to heold the statutory sitting of the supreme court fixed for Feb. 11, and no notice was given prior thereto, that such default would occur, thereby causing many witnesses, some from long distances, also some outside counsel and litigants, to come to Nelson and leave again without having their business attended to, and occasioning great loss and inconvenience to the public." The resolution was adopted and copies ordered to be sent to the minister or justice, the attorney general, VV. A. Galllher, M. P., and Dr. Hall, M. L. A. Two accounts totalling $25 were passed and the board adjourned. INCREASE BONUS Fees For Booking Agents Are Doubled SELECTING SETTLERS Today's Proceedings of Senate and Commons���News of Canada From Ocean to Ocean. Ottawa, Feb. 14.���Dr. Daniel, Conservative member for St. John, gives notice of a resolution to amend the B. N. A. Act so as to provide that the number of representatives of any province shall not at any time be reduced below that which was assigned to it at confederation. Oliver has given notice of a bill to amend the immigration act, and Mr. Martin, North Wellington, a bill to amend the railway act. Oliver also gives notice of a resolution favoring the granting of two adjoining quarter sections of Dominion lands available for homestead entry to every volunteer who at the time of enlistment for military service in South Africa iu 1899-1902, was resident or domiciled in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta or Yukon. In lieu of land the volunteer may receive scrip to the value of $160 which will be accepted at face value in payment for Dominion lands. Tbe third reading has been given In the senate to bills respecting the MacLeod, Cardston and Montana Railway company;. Kamloops and Yellowhead Pass Railway company; Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway ; Boundary, Kamloops and Cariboo Central Railway, and Calgary and Fernie Railway. Mr. Martin, Liberal member for St. Mary's, Montreal, gives notice of a bill to amend the railway act by making it illegal for railway companies to hold back two weeks pay from employees. According to a return brought down by Oliver, the bonus paid booking agents on the continent of Europe has been increased from ten shillings to one pound for each adult, and from five to ten shillings for each juvenile emigrant. Bookings are to be restricted to farmers, farm laborers, gardners, stablemen, garters, railway surface men, navvies, miners and female domestic servants. Since March 1, 1907, the government has sold to some three hundred persons over 75,000 acres of coal lauds in addition to 7,360 acres in Rocky Mountain Park leased to different parties. The annual rental is generally $192 for each 640 acres. In addition 6.400 acres of school lands have been leased to different persons for coal mining purposes, royalty to be paid heing ten cents per ton. J. S. Larke, Canadian trade agent, Sydney, Australia, says the effect of the changes in the new Australian tariff as originally proposed was to increase the customs duty by ��2,000,000, but that is 1,500,000 was struck off through amendments made by the lower house. The new tariff will be an average of about five per cent, hlghe.' than the old one but on no one line is it prohibitory. If Canada can secure tbe advantage of the preference granted Great Britain, he believes the Dominion's position will he materially Improved over that which It. now occupies under tbe old tariff on many lines of goods which Australia must continue importing, but Larke says the greatest impediment to Canadian trade is the Inability of the Canadian manufacturers to fill orders. Athens, Ont., Feb. 14.���Flre last night destroyed the Parish Block and the dwelling of William Parish. Three families are homeless. The loss Is over $12,000, partly covered by insurance. were lost In the wild rush for the door, and several of the audience were trampled upon, but all escaped serious injury with tbe exception of lessee Charles Ness, whose bands were horribly and who Is at present In tbe hospital.

McLean, proprietor of the Prince Albert hotel, was Instantly killed this morning. He went to the station on his father's bus and while the driver was checking trunks the horses started up. The lad could not hold them and tbe bus overturned and the edge struck the top of 4*k- boy's bead, cutting It off. Calgary, Feb. 14.���Manager Richard, of the Dominion fair, who is east attending the annual meeting of the stock associations and securing attractions for the fair, has secured the 91st Highlanders' band, of Hamilton, Ont. He has also secured the services of Harry Good of Toronto, as judge for the coming race meet. Another scandal has come to light in civic affairs. The light committee last August required a horse and were offered one for $129. This they turned down, but agreed to rent the horse and since tbat date have paid $283 for rent on one animal. The deal is creating considerable interest here, following the Shornby horse deal of two years ago. Tbe Dominion Fair hoard will now pay union wages to all, men employed on the works.

Medicine Hat, Feb. 14.���A moving picture machine ln tbe "Idle Hour" threatre blew up last night when the placo was densely crowded. Flre broke out and a panic ensued; coats und bats Toronto, Feb. 14.���Rev. Dr. MacKay, secretary of the Presbyterian foreign missions, has received a communication from Victoria, Australia, proposing a general gathering in London, England, for the purpose of organizing all Protestant bodies in their mission enterprises. The moral reform forces of the city last night organized a "temperance federation." Speaking at the Empire Club yesterday Dr. G. R. Parkin said the time will come when Canadians will give freely their share towards the cost of protecting the empire, not because of Briton's need, but because the people will be ashamed to enjoy British protection without paying their share for it. He said a lesson was recently given this country by the riots in Vancouver. When British subjects were the victims of riots In China, the subject was discussed by Chinese aud British under the guns of British warshipB, and it Canada were left to herBelf tbe Vancouver riots would have been discussed under the guns of a Japanese man of war. A campaign Is being waged by the crown against certain alcoholic beverages such as Hoforau, Invalid stout, and malt extract by druggists and others who have no license. The executive of the Methodist mission board was in session all day yesterday. The committee decided to continue the plan of operation during the past year of paying student preachers $10 a week for twenty weeks for work In the Northwest, also paying expenses. Another matter dealt with was the question of church property ln different parts of the Dominion. Various grantB for mission purposes were made and readjustments affecting property in points from Montreal to the Pacific coast Hard times in the west will cause the practical shutting down of the Aruerty can Abell Engine and Sfhresher ^Company's plant here for an indefinite time, and within a month 100 mechanics will be laid off.

The woman ls expected to recover. Feehley and hlB wife were not on good terms for some time owing to the former's dislike ot work, and a week ago tbe womsn, who runs a grocery store, ordered Feehley away from the place. Feehley made several attempts to be taken back but his wife refused. This morning he made a final request and upon his wife's refusal, Feehley shot the woman and turned the weapon on himself. Mrs. Feehley bas four children by her first husband. NEW ALLIANCES European Powers Form New Groups GERMANYS WITHDRAWAL Acceptance of Sultan's Proposab for Macedonia Would Mean Ifo Reform at AIL St. Petersburg, Feb. 14.���It is expected here that Russia and Great Britain will enter upon an agreement for joint action with regard to the situation in Macedonia and that these two powers will be supported by France and perhaps Italy. If such a coalition is made the reason for lt undoubtedly will be the latest developments at Constantinople, the fact that Germany intends to abandon tbe allies and adopt the counter-proposals of the Sultan, which, according to the other powers, are tantamount to no reform at all. Only by such a four-power league, ln the eyes of the Russian press, can the necessary reforms in Macedonia be carried through. Despatches received here from London indicate that a similar view is gaining ground here. Austria-Hungry's desertion for individual advantage from Turkey is generally accepted as a fact in spite of the assurance from Vienna tbat the agreement with Russia remains the basis of Austria-Hungary's Balkan policy. The Novoe Vremya's announcement of Germany's action at Constantinople, as embodied in the declaration of the German Ambassador Baron Marshall Von Bleberstein, that Germany Intended to abandon the allies and proposed instead the adoption of the Sultan's counter proposals which are tantamount to no reform at all, has created a sensation in diplomatic circles and resulted in a lively interchange of views and Inquiries in order to substantiate the truth of the announcement. The Russian foreign office professed inability to confirm the news but a portion of the ambassador's declaration relating to the dissociation of Germany in tbe matter of the joint note is generally admitted to be accurate and it is realized that this portends the failure of all effort to alleviate conditions in Macedonia. The Austrian embassy here denies only tbe second part of Baron Von Bieberstein's reported declaration, a secret convention with Turkey and Greece with reference to railroad concessions in Salonlki. TROUBLE NEARLY OVER. Stern Measures in Alaska Ordered by Federal Authorities. Police Court. in the An inebriate appeared in the city police court this morning and was lined $5 and ousts.

The reaj significance of the debate to tho Canadian parliament, oo toe nib* j(;ct of the maladministration of the timber lunds of tin* west ma] have ei f.a\>ttl sonic* readers in the course of the protracted revelations. The treatm. at of the matter by the cabinet constitutes a new departure iu responsible govenv ment In more than one respect u. };. Ames, .m. P., of Montreal, b Conservative, suspected Eavorttism and dishonesty In the granting of timber Leases by the otnciaia of the department of the Interior, He u.sk-'d -for the pro duction of documents Including tend, rs Jle was offered copies, bat demanded Uie originals. At first, he was refused a representative of the people wai re fused permission to inspect a document relative to public business. The out rage was denounced by the whole oji position led by Mr, Borden, .sir Wilfrid Laurier then offered the particular docu ment demanded, as a favor to Mi Ames.. This was rejected. Mr. Borden demanded an assertion of tlu- principle that must obtain in all free countries, that even the present obligarchy bas never tried to violate until ihe present instance, that all public documents, '���'���.- cept such U8 Involve secrets of state relating tO national relations, must be open to Inspection to every member of parliament. .No JUberul could invent any defence for their brazen atienipt and Sir Wilfrid finally backed down. The documents when produced con- lirmed ull Mr. Ames1 suspicions. They ahowed that special opportunities not offered to bona Ada settlers hud heen given to speculators; they showed an Ingenious system of double tenders only possible by collusion between the ���peculators and the department The OOptafl first ordered Jn lieu uf Lhe origin als did not show this. They had been deliberately prepared to deceive the house and the public. It is of course to be presumed that Sir Wilfrid Laurier knew nothing "f this, but to shield the thieves in his cabinet be was ready to violate one of the firnt principles of constitutional government, and only yielded when he S/SS cowed by the denunciation of his Course by -Mr. Borden. With ho much already revealed the Conservatives demanded a commission to Investigate, and u debute followed. The only minister who rose to defend the OOndttCt Of the department wus Mr. Oliver, and his only defence was the utterly Impertinent one that similar frauds���he admitted frauds���had occurred under Conservative rule. The brunt of the defence was borne by Mr, Sifton, a remarkable state of affairs. Mr. Siftuu is a man of ability and force.

It may be that in loyalty to his party's interests Mr. Sifton had no other course open to him, but what can be said of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his colleagues who silently accept the position of receivers of stolen goods, or of the poor sheep of the back benches who bleat iu echo of the bell-wether? And what does the electorate think of a party which votes as one man to prevent inquiry into crimes that are admitted by themselves? EDITORIAL COMMENT. The Dominion government announces that British Columbia's Natal Act will disallowed. Of course: it must be disallowed. The only available remedy is the abrogation, in whole or in part, of our treaty with Japan. There was the prime blunder. The responsibility for the Japanese influx is now acknowledged. It would be too much, however, to hope that this will make any impression on I-lab McPherson or the Vancouver World. Mentally they are about equal AU information from other provinces reveals a general conviction that the next Dominion campaign will be launched at short notice and an effort made to "rush" the constituencies for an endorsement of the crimes that have been exposed at Ottawa. The government I>osition is desperate. The slave majority In the house is quite safe but they have no defence to plead to the public. They must rely on the Machine, Conservatives must be ready to expose the Machine at every point. Organization is un imperative feuty. There's a prospect of peace and order in Portugal. Hurrah for J.

NEW WS -BIB DEBT Enormous Expenditures for Ordinary Administration���Ask Greater Borrowing Powers. New York. Feb. 14.���New York City neds cash and needs it badly* The sale of ?SO,000,000 in city bonds advertised for today will "help some," but will not afford anything like the financial relief that the city authorities deem necessary. As a consequence they will probably apply to the legislature for relieT in the form of legislation lhat will increase the borrowing capacity of the municipality. An arwndment to the constitution of the state may be necessary, and that proceedings would require two years' time. The present issue of $50,000,000 or long-term bonds makes a total of $155,- 000.000 of city securities placed on the market within a period of four months. This record is unprecedented in the history of the city, and the expenses of the municipality are growing at a rate that is causing much concern to the administration. The cost of running the city government this year will be $14;j,572,26t;i an increase of 118,160,160 over last year, and $(i5,981(!)24 more than for the year .1898, which means an increase of more than 85 per cent in ten years. This amounts to a per capita expenditure of |86 for every man, woman and child in the city, or an average of about $150 a family, which is paid by taxing both the present and future generations. The present generation pays the assessments Imposed upon Jt by the tax commissioners and future generations will have to redeem the enormous amount of bonds now outstanding. The Interest charge upon the people of New York is now more than $24,- 000,000 annually, almost as much as the total cost of running the City of Chicago, the second largest city of the country, and about $6 per capita of the population. The enormous expense of running New York City is without parallel. It can be compared only to the expeuses of the national government, and even here the metropolis suffers by the comparison. While the expenses of the national government have increased very rapidly in recent years, the national debt has been decreasing at the same time and the interest charge upon tlie people of the United States annually is only a few thousand dollars more than that paid by the people of New York City, while the annual expenses of the national government are only four times as great as those of New York City. ARRANGE FOR CONVENTION. Republican National Committee Get Ready for June.

The convention will assemble iu the Coliseum, where the Republican national convention met four years ago. Old convention hands think it the best proportioned and arranged convention hall in Ule United States. The outside walls are of stone, witii castellated turrets, and the first impression is that of a city armory. Inside the wide concaves ot steel, if black, would make the place look like a railway station; but, as they are white, the effect is pleasing, especially when decorated with flags and. The committee intends that the interior decorations at the Juue convention shall bo unusually elaborate and beautiful. The total uumber of seats, according to present plans, will be about 11.00U, which will include the seats provided in the balcony that extends around the hall. Ou the platform will be seats for specially invited guests, probably UOO in number. The accomodations for the working newspapermen will ,as usual, be found directly iu front and at either end of the platform. Underneath the rostrum, and stretching the whole length of the basement, will be one of the most curious sights of the convention���the paraphernalia and tlie workers who will commuuicate to the millions the proceedings of the convention. Into this space will be run more than 500 Wires connecting directly with the principal newspapers of tho country, and with the ageucies lhat transmit news over the seas. There will be fully 200 telephones and twice as many telegraph Instruments. A thousand jreporters, operators and messengers will man this iutelligei.ee machine. There will be twelve entrances to the hall, exclusive of several stairway entrances from the basement to the platform and guests sections. The Coliseum Is located but a short distance from the loop district, in which are all the leading hotels and railway stations, and Is easily reached by three or four ear lines. NOTICB.

An exemplary sentence of four years confinement in the provincial reformatory for boys at Vancouver was imposed yesterday afternoon by .Magistrate Uuilock-Webster on a boy who has evidently been the ring leader of a band of youthful thiev.es. He was convicted Of stealing $11 worth of candy from the Hell Trading company's warehouse, and 20 tickets from the box office at the opera house. He could have been convicted of many other offences. Another boy admitted stealing candy and was let go on suspended sentence, his father being surety for his" appearance in court when required. Seven other boys will appear on similar charges on Monday. Library Ball. Tonight is the date of the public ball in the armory in aid of the .Nelaon library. The directors, especially the lady members, have worked indefatiga- bly in decorating the hall appropriately for St. Valentine's Day, and in making all other arrangements for the comfort, convenience and pleasure of patrons. The music will be furnished by Curtis' orchestra. Special attention has been given to the supper. Powdered hair Is suggested as an appropriate feature, but is not Insisted upon as a condition of dancing. The directors have done their best and trust that the ball will be gen-'rously patronized for the sake of the library and also because it ls one of the pleasant events of the season in Nelson. Hockey Matches. .Next Tuesday night at the Stanley street rink there will be two hockey matches. The first between the Mountains and Lakes and the winners will then play the Rivers.

Ry long distance telephone communications last night arrangements were r-ompleted for a match between the Nelson and Rossland senior teams on Grand Forks ice tomorrow night. Each team was to receive its expenses only. .Nelson waived the question of a judge of play which Rossland would not consider, and Dr. Newcome of Grand Forks, was agreed upon as a referee. These arrangements were all accepted by the Nelson men at a meeting in M. R. Mc- Quarrie's office last night. ThiB morning, however, a message came from Rossland stating tliat some of the players are under the weather, and suggesting next Friday night as the date for the contest. Rossland still wants to play for a side bet of $500. With the proceeds of the dishonored cheque and the dollars of the Nelson people who hadn't time to ask for their return, they have about $450, and they hope to raise the balance by popular subscription.
