Chicago, Sept. 20.���More than 15,000 munlrlpal officials, represnntlng the Chief cities of the United States and Canada, were present today at the opening of the annual convention of the League of American Municipalities. The initial session, which was presided over by .Mayor R. G. Rhett of Charleston, S. C, was devoted to addresses of welcome and responses, to the apjioint- ment of commutes and other routine business Early adjournment waa taken to permit the visitors to enjoy an automobile ride about the city as guests of the local entertainment committee. The proceeding of the convention will continue over tomorrow and Friday. The programme is one of the best ever arranged for a meeting of Ihe league. The moBt interesting feature will be a discussion of the problem of municipal ownership of public utilities. Frank Parsons, chairman of the lloston municipal ownership league, will lead tlie discussion on the affirmative side, while the negative will be laken by Professor Frank II. Roberts of Denver university. Others who will have a part in the municipal ownership discission are Mayors Sharpe of Winnipeg. Adam of Puffalo, Coatesworth of Toronto, Weaver of Philadelphia, Rookwalter of Indianapolis, Dunne of Chicago, Speer of Denver, and Hrand Wliitlock of Toledo. Other matters to which the convention will give attention, as shown in the list of paiiers and addresses to be presented, are as follows: "Sewerage Filtration," "The Influence of Taxation on the Prosperity of Cities," "Franchise Conditions of New York City," "The Effect of Sanitation on Morality." "Baltimore's Great Sewer Problem," and "Prime Requisites of Successful Administration." The League of American Municipalities, in contradistinction lo the National Municipal League, is an organization for the purpose of studying the practice, rather than lhe theory of municipal government.

Toklo, Sept. .(!.���In an Interview on Saturday, Mr. Yamamagata, minister of eommunlcnllons, said that hy means of the nationalization of the railways expenses would be diminished nnd freight rales lowered, nnd that this would assist In the expansion of Industry nnd commercial enterprises goner ally.

Fair Sex Take Prominent part in Terrorist Operations. llerlln, Sept. 26.���Insurance companies will soon he justified In refusing life risks of Russian generals, ifthelr extermination is to continue at the present rate. The latest advices from Warsaw are to the effect that the governor of the city, General Skalon, is a doomed man. The general is on close terms of intimacy with the chief of staff. Councillor Jatscheffskl. Both gentlemen are ardent admirers of the fair sex. A day or two ago the general received a scented note in a lady's handwriting, requesting him to hand an enclosed letter fo his chief of staff. The writer explained that she feared the note, if sent direct, might fall Into the hands of some lady of the addressee's family. The general, suspecting a love intrigue, was much amused, and immediately sent for M. Jatscheffskl, who , strange to say, reported having received an exactly similar letter with an enclosure for General Skalon. The two enclosures were then compared. They were Identical, and announced that sentence of death had been pronounced upon them both by the revolutionary committee. Rise In Price of Salt. New York, Sept. 26.���The Journal of Commerce today says: "The International Salt company raised Its prices on all grades of salt approximately 60 cents per ton. This Is said to be the third raise within a period of three months, yet it is expected it will place the commodity upon a price basis equal to the top notch figures of last season. The reasons given for tbe latest advance are that the shutting down of two of the largest producing plants In the Utlca district has caused a shortage In the supply; that the demand is unprecedently large, and that difficulty has been experienced in securing cars on which to transport the product. Bryin in the Southwest. Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 26.���William J. Uryan was given a cordial reception here this morning during the brief Btop he made on his way to Indian Territory. Mr. Bryan was received by a citizens' reception committee, headed by Mayor Lenen, and was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address, which was along the usual lines.

New Westminster, Sept. 26.���Word comes from Sumas that Canadian customs officials rounded up a number of Canadian subjects residing along the boundary line between Blaine and Sumas last week, for taking goods across the line from the American side without reporting at the customs office or paying duty. A large number of farmers were vlBlted and their belongings inspected for smuggled goods and articles to the amount of several thousand dollars of American manufacture were discovered on which the Import duty had not been paid. Among the goods are farm machinery of every description, household furniture, lumber snd building material. No arrests were made and no goods confiscated, but the offenders were asked to call at the customs office and pay the duty to the government on or before September 22 and avoid both confiscation and arrest. A warning was given them that hereafter they must ln all cases call at the customs offices and report any articles taken across the line. The farmers have, in every instance, appeared and paid the duty. A Multl-Fructous Tree. Portland, Ore., Sept. 26.���A tree bearing 23 distinct varieties of fruit anu nuts ls growing on the farm of Thomas Glaxo in Benton county, this state. It is healthy and flourishing.

This Involves a lowering of the interstate passenger rates north of the Ohio river and west of Syracuse. ESTIMATES SURPASSED Tramway Returns to 23rd Instant Ovsr $5000���System More Then Paying Expenses. After the declining receipts of the week before, the tramway returns for the week ending September 23 again return to a high figure, due in part no doubt to travel to and from tbe fair grounds. The number of passengers carried during the week was 4650, against 2525 for the corresponding week of last year; the receipts being 1240.80, against $136.85, an increase of $103.95, or more than 75 per cent. The returns for the year to date are $5165.90, against $4340.16. to the same date of 1905. The weekly average for the whole period Is a little over $135, but for the actual time of operation it is about. $180 a week. The estimated revenue from the service for this year was $5000. That amount Is already exceeded, and there are 14 weeks of the year still remaining. Assuming that the receipts for Ihe balance of the year do not fall below the average to date, which is not an extravagant assumption since inter ruptlon of about eight weeks have materially reduced the returns so far, the tisial receipts to December 31st will be about $7000. As the annual cost of operation Is $9,000 and the tramway company pays 60 per cent, of any deficit up to $2,600, It is fairly certain that the loss this year will be under $1,000. The loss last year was $2,250 But It ls stl'l more important that for the last, four months the system has more than paid expenses. Steamship Arrivals. New York, Sept. 26.���Arrived: Nord America, from Naples. Cape Race, N.

Paris, Sept. 26.���American securities were for the first time today listed on the Paris bourse. Installation Will be Completed and Operation Begun Early in November. At last it ls absolutely certain that all the machinery, hydraulic and electrical, manufactured for the city ot Nelson power plant by the Allis- Chalmers-Bullock company has bqen shipped from tbe factories and Is on its way westward. A definite letter to that effect was' received last night by J. O. Gillice, local and district manager for the company. The machinery was all shipped by September 15 .and has, therefore, been now 11 days on the road. As a former shipment came through from Cincinnati in 10 days, the whole of tho machinery should arrive in Nelson not later than the beginning of next week. Mr. Gllllce ls now wiring for his own satisfaction, as well as for that of the mayor and city engineer, for the numbers of the cars containing the shipment, so that lt may be traced by tbe freight agents here and any further delay prevented. Mr. Gillice ls also wiring to learn the date of arrival of the hydraullo engineer who ls to be sent here to superintend the installation, and whose coming has been dally expected for more than a week. According to the terms of the agreement between the city and the company, a third of the total amount became payable on the date of the last shipment. A draft for a little over $14,000 was received this morning and accepted by the city ln pursuance of that agreement. It is now only a matter of a few days more and the equipment of the plant will begin. All possible preliminary work - has already been accomplished under the supervision of H. C. Bullis of Cincinnati, the company's electrical engineer, who has been ln the city for several weeks. The completion of the plant and the beginning ot its operation may now be hoped for by November 1. It has been a long wait, and mayor, council, city engineer and local company manager have long since grown weary of Indefinite assurances; that progress was being made, that the machinery was being, about to be, or would soon be, shipped. Although informal statements have been made by men connected with the company that the repeated delays have been due, in every Instance, and wholly, to labor strikes, no formal statement to that effect has yet been made on the company's behalf. It v.ili be remembered by readers of The Canadian that the company, through W. P. Uhl, agreed to a forfeit of $50 a day for every day's delay after August 1, unless such delay were due to a strike. Whatever may be the explanation finally offered of that agreement, there will be general 'gratification at tbe announcement that the end of the period of long waiting is ln sight, and that within two months at most the the people of Nelson will be enjoying their own light and using thetr own power, a purpose which has been constantly kopl in view for more than six years.

The general conference of thu Methodist church, a quadrennial gathering representing a Methodist moniburship in Canada of hundreds of thousands is drawing to a close. The fragmentary reports appearing in the Western press give but a faint idea of the importance of the gathering, lt is the supreme legislative body of the largest Protestant chureh in the Dominion and the changes or alterations in ihe policy of tlie Methodist church which may take place under its direction are of supreme importance not only to members of the Methodist body but to the religious life of the whole Dominion. There were three questions of importance which largely dominated the discussions of the conference besides B multitude of minor issues which have to do with the details of church government. One of these was the missionary policy of the church, and another regulations governing the itinerant system of the Methodist ministry, that is to say, whether the present rule making four years the limit a pastor may serve on any single charge, should he modified or reiained. The conference after considerable debate resolved to maintain the present regulations and so it remains the law of the Methodist church that four years completes a pastor's term of service. We think this is a wise regulation as but few of the pastors find their fields congenial alter a four-year term. Religious bodies do nol soon adapt themselves to change anil it has been the custom in the Methodist church, since the adoption or the system of inviting ministers, to see one well nettled in his place aud then begin to negotiate for his successor .lusl how far this practice has been responsible for the limitation of a minister's usefulness to four years need not be noted, but for most of those in the ranks of the ministry b ohange is welcome at the end of that period. This atale- ment makes no reflection either upon ministers or individual churches, hut the decision to maintain the length of the barm at four years has one fatal weakness. It will keep alive the system of wire pulling and place seeking and man seeking that has been one of the weaknesses of the Methodist church for many years. Trom the layman's point of view, one of the most import anl questions before the conference was that of the abolition of the footnote, as it is called. To those outside of the Methodisl church the term may convey little meaning, so we shall state the conditions which it was sought to have altered. The "Rules" of the Methodist church, though somewhat archaic, were written by John Wesley to be a guide to his humble followers and an Instruction as to what constitutes ideal Christian life. As such they aro sublime and outside of thc New Tes tament there is scarcely to be found a general definition of what constitutes truly Christian conduct than that designated in these rules. Nearly a quarter of a century ago, however, tbe general liberalizing of thought and broadening of conscience, with resultant license in conduct, made its appearance in the doing of things by members of the church that were in the eyes of the truly pious, sinful and to be condemned. The general rules were considered insufficiently stringent and a "Footnote" was added which reads as follows: "The general rules are to be understood as forbidding neglect of duties of any kind. Imprudent conduct, indulging in sinful tempers or words, the buying, selling or using of intoxicants as a beverage, dancing, playing at games of chance, encouraging lotteries, patronizing dancing schools, attending theatres, horse races, or taking such other amusements as are obviously of a misleading or questionable moral tendency." The indiscriminate way in which this rule fixes the ban upon wholly dissimilar actions, placing recreations that may iu themselves be innocent in the sume class as those which are of gravely immoral nature has had the effect of keeping thousands out of the Methodist church who love her doctrines, polity, history and missionary spirit. During the last twelve years, that is to say, at the last three quadrennial sessions of the general conference, a radical element has sought to have the rule (.Unlimited or qualified or made admonitory as instead of prohibitive. The storm which has raged round the question of revision of the rules has been at times tempestuous and has perhaps more often than anything else led to their own violation iu the matter of indulging in sinful tempers and words, Strangely enough those who most persistently violated that feature of the footnote have been ihe greatest sticklers for its retention. It was hoped that this year would see some compromise affected which might free the great Methodist church from having a prohibitive rule which is universally violated and which it ia never attempted to enforce. Those who hoped this have again been disappointed. The question has been relegated to a committee who are instructed to look wise during the next four years and then report at the next quadrennial session and in the meantime the footnote stands. Many of the good Methodists In Hritish Columbia dance, attend theatres, play at games of chance and both patronize and encourage horse races. The same is true of all the urban centres of the East There is no penalty as- Signed for the violation of tho rules and consequently no action against or- tenders is ever taken, a few preachers hurl anathemas at imaginary offenders but the force of this is all lost in ihe generally anomalous attitude of the church. The general conference has passed another milestone in Ub history and the church stands jut where It did or perhaps even a little less creditably to Itself. In the meantime, as one or the Toronto papers remarks, the song of the modern Methodist will be: "On with the dance, let joy be un* confined!" EDITORIAL COMMENT. We are told that "In the ten years that have passed since the adequate protection apostles were swept out of ofrice the country has grown so fast that there is scarcely a city In tho Dominion that does not suffer from a house famine," This is true, but il must be remcin- bered lhat while the apostles of adequate protection wero swept out of office their policy was not radically altered. No doubt the old tariff was modified by the Hritish preference, and there was a lowering of certain imposts. On The other hand, the iron and steel duties and bounties Imposed and maintained by the Liberal government represent an extreme application of the protectionist system. So the dumping regulations are a thorough application of the principles of the adequate protectionists who were swept out of office and succeeded by the advocates of tariff reform ���Toronto News.

The right of labor men or any other class to organize an independent political party is undoubted, says the Ottawa Citizen, and becomes a matter for respectful consideration when the party in question is organized with the sole view of advancing the interests of the rank and file of the party which is alleged to be represented, lt will be generally admitted that the interests of labor are fairly well looked after at all times by whatever party may be in power. On the other hand the record of "independent" labor parties in the past has been that the leaders have been chiefly interested, not in improving the conditions of labor, which lacks little in the way o( improvement at the present time, but for the purpose of bringing to the front alleged manipulators of the labor vote who, as soon as they secure governmenl positions ihat removu them from the necessities of labor, allow the working man to shift for himself. It may be, as the Journal says, that party leaders look after themselves, but any organized political movement that has as its object merely securing positions for the leaders derogates labor to the position of the foreign political elements in the United States, where padrones round up so many votes for delivery, the price being paid in positions or coin for the men who deliver the vote.

Baker street, Nelson, B.O, The Daily Canadian LOCAL AND PROVINCIAL There is no change in any quotutiou ou today's metal markets. Wesley Ziesler, late porter al the Stnuheon.., has decided to remain in Nelson, and will do "office work.'* All members of the A. O. of 11. and P. sojourning in the Sahara of Nelson ���Don't forget Wednesday, October "i The Churchmen's club is preparing to reopen for the season next Monday night. The formal opening will take place a week later, when a smoking concert will be held. The Canadian Order of Foresters meet Thursday evening in tlu* Knights ot' Pythias hall. Ten candidates will be instructed in the mysteries ot" Forestry. Organizer Brother 1'aull will also be present This afternoon at -J o'clock the ad- refusing committee of the 20,0011 club will meet in Secretary Chad- bourn's office to decide finally whether the club's new advertising pamphlet shall be printed in Nelsou or elsewhere. Tomorrow afternoon being the last merchants' half-holiday of the year, is likely 10 be very generally observed. The chief attraction, which is the subject of considerable interest, is tho cricket match between tlie tournament team of the Nelson Cricket club and an eleven chosen from all lhe rest. Play will begin at the recreation gmiinds nt - o'clock. A misprint in yesterday's issue rep* resented the manager of the Kaslo district fruit exhibit as claiming $l.">r> fur expenses from tlie fair management It should, of course, have read $1."'. the sum allowed to each competing district, according to the regulations. Thai amounl has, of course, been paid in each case. Kaslo's acceptance of ii shows that relations are not hopelessly severed. There was no session of the city police court this morning. There is still one patient in the cells. A large per- centage of the prisoners for the last fortnight have been men In various stages of delirium tremens. Chief Jarvis says it is cheaper for the ciiy to have such men arrested at the first sign of collapse. Later their care in- volves watchers and sometimes a hospital hill. Usually their conduct is not disorderly, and it is solely in their own interest that they are placed in custody. Louis Pratt of Sandon. manager or tlu* reorganized Last Chance Mining Company, is In the city. The mine has been in operation since August 1. About 30 men are now on the force, which will be steadily increased as the workings are opened up. The mine is in good shape, and .there ls now ample capital for all necessary development and equipment The reopening means much to Sandon camp, which has heen very dull since the inactivity, partial or complete, of the Payne, Slocan Star and Ueco mines. UNIQUE SOUVENIR. Burnt Drawing view Executed on Wood Fungus. In the office of Messrs. McDermid & Hardy Is a work of art that may without exaggeration be called unique.

The work has been very well done. The artists are Misses Fowler anj Vlpond. The Store of Quality Don't Forget THAT WE HANDLE THE Schram Frt*it Jar THE ONLY PERFECT SEALER.
