From about 4 o'clock yesterday a ftcrnoon It grew steadily colder, and tho prospects are that the frigid weather will hold out during the day. In Norfolk, Barkhamstad and Hartland, ln the western part of the state, there was a record-breaking drop of the mercury, showing 24 degrees below at 7 o'clock. Reports from all parts of ihe state show that the present cold snap Is the most severe known ln many years, and as a result a great Ice crop Is expected to be harvested. MADE KAMLOOPS WARM Mclnnee' Insult to Goodeve Reeented and Liberal Champion Refused Further Hearing (Special to The Dally Canadian.) Kamloops, Jan. 24.���The largest meeting held here during the present campaign was addressed last night by Martin Burrell and A. S. Ooodeve In the Interests of Fulton. W. W. B. Mclnnes was present and was allowed one hour. Burrell opened and for an hour dealt with political Issues, exposing the poverty of the Liberal program and the shallowness of the scandal charges. The speaker laid bare Mclnnes' record and clearly showed the danger on the federal side of supporting provincial Liberals. "Take away Mclnnes' lung power and you have nothing left." said Mr. Burrell, amid laughter. Mclnnes denounced Bowser and tho government, disclaimed connection with Ottawa and hit out at the Socialists. He closed his speech hy a dastardly personal reference to Good- eve's UosBland municipal work. As he reached the words, "It Is no honor for Kamloops to hear Ooodeve," the crowd broke into a roar of disapproval. Mclnnes stood vainly trying to get a hearing and had to take hlB seat In confusion. Goodevo captured the house hy n dignified rebuke of Mclnnes* cowardly luetics, nnd for nn hour took up provincial matters, showing reasons for Ihe return of the present government nnd continuance of the present condition of prosperity. The general opinion here Ib thnt Mclnnes' prestige Is shattered and Fulton's position much strengthened. Wellwood-McCort.

Scathing Criticism from London Papers DAILY TELEGRAPH HOT Sir James Swettenham's Curt Refusal of American Aid Strongly Condemned by All. London, Jan 24.���The colonial office is now in puss,-ssiou of official advices from Sir Alexander Sweetenham, the governor of Jamaica, concerning the exchange of letters between him and Hear Admiral Davis. The extent of these advices has not been disclosed, lt appears that the imperial authorities requested the governor of Jamaica to send them a copy of his letter to Rear Admiral Duvis. This has beeu furnished and It allows that the letter, as given by tlie Associated Press, waa to all intents and purposes a correct copy. It Is now learned that the secretary ol the colonies, Lord Elgin, sent a second cablegram to Governor Sweetenham, asking hlm lo give his version of the affair. To this the foreign office In- termed thu Associated Press no answer has yet been received, lt ls explained that while this second cable was drawn up January 21, and the colonial offloe announced lhat ou that day it had been sent to Kingston, it was not forwarded until January 22, because It required the direct authority of Lord Grey, wim was absent In Scotland, aud who could - not be reached until the 22nd. John It. Carter, charge d'affaires of tlie American embassy, called at the foreign office tonight and received the same explanation of the situation as was furnished Uie Associated ress. Tlie tact that Governor Sweetenham wrote the letter to Rear Admiral Davis having beeu established there remained only to determine the otriclal formalities. The indications are that Uie matter will be bandied throu_.h the usual diplomatic channels and that lhe cor- correspondence will be made public ln a blue book. Discussion of lhe incident discloses that the British view makes a clear differentiation between Governor Sweeteuham's opplsltion to the presence of a foreign force ou Jamaican soil and his manner of expressing thiB opposition. What the British government and people now condemn ls the tone of the letter to Rear Admiral Davis. The foreign office has declared that there was "no excuse for such language from an official to tho officer of a friendly nation engaged In a work of humanity." The press and public a ro adopting substantially similar views, but on the question whether Governor Sweetenham wus justified iu asking Rear Admiral Davis to withdraw his arnied forces from the Island, Hritish opinion Inclines to hold that Governor Sweetenham ncted clearly within his rlghta. Many persona, however, contend thai the abnormal conditions should have Induced the governor to waive the usual requirements, if, as is supposed hero, Rear Adinlrnl Davis landed marines at Kingston without a specific request from the governor.. Th" i'lea prevails here thai llie admiralty, as an outcome of the agitation aroused by the recent events In Jamaica, may modify the pints under whicli thc Weal Indies were almost abandoned as a naval Blatlon. It Is Biiggested that Jamaica may he made a Btrong naval station, attached to an effective and well equipped naval base on tho Canadian coast If the forthcoming colonial conference can devise aome plan for the distribution of financial responsibility for naval defense throughout the empire The Dally Telegraph In a scathing article arraigns Governor Bwecteaharo as follows; "We would be unfaithful to our duties as an exponent of public opinion If we failed to call attention to the extraordinary conduct of His Excellency In the present, crisis. His general be havioi* at a moment of peril and difficulty was unworthy a responsible Itritish official and even of a cultured Englishman. His letter to Rear Admiral Davis was a production of which he uught to be ashamed. The United States in friendly. American bone ls British bone and Iheir flesh is British flesh, and no one but a blinded bigot would have refused to admit American landing parties. The men from the American warships did magnificent work in removing the debris and removing bodies, and the naval surgeons performed equally splendid service. We want a man who does not spend his lime riding about the clly cursing officials who are endeavoring to work loyally. The people of t his community bave lost confidence In his power of guidance and are indignant at his autocratic bullying and Insulting manner." A despatch to the Times says, concerning Governor Hfreetenham's acUon In depriving tlunis s.ids of women and children of adequate food and shelter, prominent English officials, clergymen and Judges join in condemnation of the governor's course It Is also considered sufficient that the chief organ of the present government, the London Tribune, Ib Incensed, because Governor Sweetenham refused Its offer of relief and suppllels from England. A despatch to the Evening Standard from Kingston dnted yesterday, says lhe corresiamdence between the government and Rear Admiral Davis, pub llshed this morning, has Intensified the strong public feeling against the governor. Although the admiral precipitated the landing of marines. It Ib recognized that he did bo with the best motives, and every one except the governor appreciated ;his kindly action. The business of merchants bas been Impaired by the passage In the governor's letter, stating that they would be glad of the free help of the marines In clearing their stores. Kingston, Jan. 22.���(Delayed.)���The Most Rev. Thos. Nuttall, the lord archbishop of Uie Weat Indies, said today that he had heard that King Edward had cabled deprecating the idea that the people of Jamaica Bhould accept foreign assistance. , He said he trusted his majesty had 'not given utterance to this sentiment and tbat If he had he (the archbishop) did not approve of It. Thc archbishop said also that he believed a great mistake had been mnde when Governor Sweetenham rejected the offer of American aid. The archbishop sent a cablegram to President Roosevelt today thanking him warmly for the assistance of the American navy. The relief committee are actively engaged ln sending refugees Into the country and districts where they can be better provided for. Bishop Hendricks of Colon arrived this morning on board tho steamer Advance, which brought from Colon 100 tons of food and 18000 to be distributed to tho Jamaican refugees by the relief committees. The Advance will return to Colon with refugees. The French cruiser Jurlen de la Gravlera and a Haytlan gunboat have arrived here. The latter vessel offered aid but It was declined by the governor Lundon, Jan. 24.���President Roosevelt's assurance through Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, that -the 1'niied States will pay no heed to the Kingston incident, coupled with the press despatches stating that tbe American officials consider the Incident closed, elicit some appreciative expressions of satisfaction from the officials and public here who do not desire to prolong the painful controversy. However, the closing of the incident ls considered to apply to tho International aspect only, as there remains a considerable reckoning between Great Britain nnd Governor Sweetenham. Several circumstances quite independent of the Incident, in which Rear Admiral Davis was connected, and not coming through American channels, are combining to create prejudice agalnat Swcetenhnm's cause. A speolnl despatch from Kingston announces that a number of ships are arriving there In the nick of time, as the local supplies of food were running short. Tho despatches, however, add; "In view of the governor's action In refusing American assistance and gifts, the disposition of the latest consignment is uncertain." 8HORTE8T WAY OUT. Tale of Dally Suicides���Prefer Death to Their Worries. New York, Jan. 24.���Within IB minutes after he had registered at the Orand Unloin hotel, Lathrop Smith, a student In the law school at Columbia university, from Kansas City, committed suicide today by shooting himself through the head. Schenectady, N. Y., Jan. 24.���After speaking comforting words to her sick husband, Mrs. W S. Murphy, 27 years old. went to the stairway ln the read of their home here and cut her throat from ear to ear with a razor. She died within a few minutes. It Is believed that worry over her husband's condition unbalanced her mind. GOT HK DESERTS Duncan Ross is Punished by Premier MEETING ATARMSTRONG Hon. R. McBride Sways Audiences Everywhere���Dominion Member for Yale Rebuked (Special to The Daily Canadian.) Vernon, Jan. 24.���Premier McBride drove 17 miles from Vernon to hold 8 meeting at Armstrong last night, and met on the platform Duncan Ross, M. P., who spoke for Dr. McDonald; also J. Johnson, representing the Socialists, before the 600 people who crowded the hall. The premier administered such a cas- ligation to Ross as the latter will not aoon foget. Ross was not popular with the majority of the crowd and when he stated that the government bad almost destroyed the school system of the province there was such an uproar that he bad much difficulty in continuing. He charged, as usual, the C. P. R. domination of the government and repeated the Kaien Island criticism. There waa a great difference In the audience's treatment of the premier, for the most part deep attention being paid to his remarks. The premier took occasion to give an emphatic denial to the statements of the Vancouver World regarding alleged leases of coal lands on Pine River to the Transcontinental Exploration Syndicate by the late chief commissioner, and aaid not an acre of coal landa had been leased to that company. One of the chief things dealt with by Johnson was his advocacy of woman suffrage. PREPARING FOR HAGUE. Professor De Martens Sounding Powers a* to Second Peace Conference. Berlin, Jan. 24���Professor De Mar- tens of St. Petersburg lunched with Ambassador Towers today and had a second talk with him regarding the at- Utude of the United States to the second peace conference at The Hague. Foreign Secretary TBchlsky and Professor De Martens had a preliminary mee Ing at the foreign office yesterday concerning Germany's wishes regarding it. The secretary delegates Dr. Krlge, of the International law division of the foreign office, to state his views, fully pointing out that Germany Is ready to go Into conference whenever it Ib agreeable to the other powers. The second peace conference is considered to be more important than the first, as lt will probably begin its deliberations whether the world has really advanced to the point where It Is realized that the relations between peoples and governments can be modified and adjusted by the counsel and moral weight of their neighbors.

London, Eng., Jan. 24.���William Whltely, founder of the first big departmental store ln Ixindon, waa shot and killed this afternoon by a young man wbo afterward attempted to commit suicide. Wr. Whltely was on the point of leaving his Store when his assailant rushed np to him with a revolver In his hand, fired several shots and the merchant fell dead. The assassin then emptied the revolver Into his own body, Inflicting what are believed to be mortal wounds. No reason has yet been assigned for the murder. The store waB crowded with shoppers at the Ume and a semi-panic followed the tragedy. The police were quickly on the scene. The public were ejected from the building and the doors closed. Later, Mr. Whltely'a assailant died at his room. His identity has not been ascertained. The murderer, previous to the attack, had been conversing with Mr. Whltely, and Uie latter waa overheard to say as he walked away, "If you do not go away, I shall call the police." The shooting followed. NEW CHURCH HERETICAL. Rome Denounces Independent French Organization. Rome, Jan. 24.���The Vatican authorities denounce aa non-Catholic the new "French Apostolic Catholic church," organized under the leadership of Henry Desvox, whose constitution as a cultured association has been accepted by the French government, as announced from Paris yesterday. The authorities of the church here add that Archbishop Vllatto, head of the Independent Catholic movement In America, who ls now In Paris and is lending his aid temporarily to establish the spiritual jurisdiction of the church, ls a well known apbattte and that therefore everything he does In the nature of organlzaUon of the priests Is valid. Two Positions Combined. Washington, D. C, Jan. 24.���Announcement was made at th ewar department today that the offices of chairman and chief engineer of tbe Isthmus canal commission would be combined, and that J. F. Stevens, the present chief engineer, would be glren the appointment, the understanding being that he would maintain a residence on the Isthmus. The resignation of Chairman Bpants, it was stated, will be accompanied by his resignation as president ot the Paname Railway company, to take effect on the same date that he will sever connection with the Isthmian canal commission.

Washington, D. 0, Jan. 24.���The navy department was advlaed that the battleship Connecticut, which struck bottom while entering Ciilbers Island harbor January 13, suffered only insignificant damage and the vessel Is off on a shake-down cruise. FERTILIZERJPPROVED Report of Professor Shutt, Dominion Chemist, on Sample Submitted by Local Fruit Growers. The following explains itself and will be of interest to those of onr readers engaged In the fruit and garden Industry. The analysis was requested by the Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association, and the result Is much bettor than was anticipated Ottawa, Jan. 16, 1907. Secretary Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association, Nelson, B. C. Dear Sir: The results of our analysis of the fertilizer forwarded by you are as follows: Analysis of "Blood and Bone": Moisture 4.19 Total mineral matter (chiefly bone) 37.00 Mineral matter insoluble ln acid (sand, etc.) 1.50 Nitrogen G.ll Phosphoric acid (equivalent to 31.5 per cent, bone) 14.46 On consulting the Fertilizer Bulletin Issued by the inland revenue department, this fertiliser will be seen to compare quite favorably with others of a similar nature sold on the Canadian market. Perhaps I should point out that In these materials, blood and hone, tankage, etc., the nitrogen la by no meana entirely tn the form of dried blood, but Is largely furnished by meat scraps, offal, etc. Thla fact necessarily makes the nitrogen slower tn availability than that of pure dried blood, which latter, as you may know, fetches a considerably higher price as a fertiliser. If the members of the association are thinking of using this or similar fertiliser I would point out that the additional application of potash ln some form would be generally desirable for market gardening, fruit and orchard purposes. Yours truly, FRANK T. 8HTITT, Chemist. Belgium's New Port. Brussels, Jan. 24.���It was announced today that the port of Zeebrugge would be opened to commerce on July 1 next with appropriate fetes. Zeebrugge Is the harbor of the new Bruges- Heest canal, which will be available for sea-going ships of the largest slse and has coat about $8,000,000. NEED HELP BADLY Edilorial Stairs Straggle With Telegms TBEY MEANT Nl BMW Grotesque Distortion of C. H. Bonner. Message���" Wires That He Can't Communicate" The editing of telegraphic communications Is not a particularly arduous task, nor does It require generally any exceptional learning or Intelligence. The only possibly puzzling feature of telegraphic reports, provided the telegraph operator be sober and not extraordinarily stupid, Is the matter ot punctuation. A volume might be made ot stories- some funny, some tragic���of errors In punctuating telegraphic messages. The Dally News' contribution in this morning's Issue belongs obviously to the comic class. The Dally News wired to Kaslo for Information as to the whereabouts of Neil F. Mackay. An answer was received from the Conservative campaign committee rooms, which The Dally News presents thus: "Kaslo, Jan. 23.���Neil McKay, In the north, wirea down that he cannot communicate. '���(Signed) C. H. BONNOR." Tbe editor gravely comments that, he reply la rather ambiguous. As presented It Is not ambiguous, It Is absurd. "Nell Mackay wires that he cannot communicate"! It might aa well be, "Roars that he cannot speak," or, "Writes that be cannot hold a pen." Obviously���and we did think there waa Intelligence enough in The Dally News offloe to see It���the telegram from Mr. Bonnor should read: "Kaslo, Jan. 23.���Neil Mackay In the north Wires down. Cannot communicate." We do not for a moment aeense The Daily Newa of wilful misrepresentation. The "reliability" of news reports may be as gravely Impaired by suc*i eni ,3_l stupidity as by Intentional dishonesty. Since the above was written the following telegrams have been received from Kaslo: "Kaslo, Jan. 24.���Have wired The Dally Newa as follows: Green and Mackay in the Trout Lake or Ferguson district; lake frozen over; wires all down. Tour message not delivered. Impossible for either ot them to know anything of the World charges or your request for explanation. Play fair. Do not misinterpret or add words to telegrams changing the meaning; do not accuse Mackay of refualng to answer until he receives your message. Please publish this." "Kaslo, Jan. 24.���Newa of today wilfully distorts telegram sent; should read, 'Nell Mackay In the north; wirea down, cannot communicate.' (8gd.) C. H. Bonner. Wires are down In Lardo; no message can reach him via Lardo or Arrowhead; telegram from Vancouver completely exonerates Green aa followa: "'We have correct version of telegram business.

Let ua therefore be careful what vre WHAT IS THE ISSUE? Since the provinclul legislature was dissolved and a general campaign throughout the province begun, the stalwarts of hetb political parties, including the leaders In the house, the rank and file of thc members, ull candidates arm active members of associations, have been looked In ii struggle lor mastery. It is doubtful If ninny sil* the combatants know what tbey ure fighting for except that It ls foi- mastery. But. whatever conililions may be in oilier provinces of Canada and In oilier purts of lhe llrltlsh Empire. II Is fairly certain that In llrltlsh Columbia, n majority of tbe electors are nol pledged members of uny political organization. They, Ihe majority, are entitled lo ask ���and to receive an nnswer to the question���Whal is tlie issue? lt is seldom that n govnniment has the choice of battle ground. The government Is usually on ihe defensive, while the opposition chooses Ihe point of attack. In fact, the proper function of nn opposition party, as oontemplated by our unwritten British constitution, is lo crlticlise und attack the stand tuken by the government of the duy. In the present circumstance, bb viewed by the people of British Columbia generally, Uie choice of battle ground was open lo the opposition, the Liberal party. What have they chosen? To Borne exlent, they have chosen to attack the latest public school act, especially In respect of the new financial relations created between the provincial government und the municipali ties. But the atlack on that ground has been made chiefly by those. Including the nominal leader, J. A. Macdonald, who hHve least acquaintance with the School Act or Ihe school system. On the whole, the opposiiion party has elected to rely in the present campaign mainly on the attempts made by them, or their irresponsible press supporters, to convict the government of dishonesty, by Itself us an organization or by Individual members of it; to fasten upon it the reproach of dishonesty, The attempts made are numerous. They include the transfer of Ihe Kaien Island terminal site, the renewal of the land subsidy to the Columbia & Western���that is. to the C. P. R��� Railway oompany, and a few minor matters. II would he unfair to charge the Liberal parly generally with Ihe Indecent extravagances of the Vancouver World, including the Pendray lots slander, or the latesl one. affecting R. F. Green. But It is not unfair to say that the Uberal opposition, as a whole, has eleoted to base its case before the electorate upon a series of accusations of dishonesty against the government rather than upon any affirmative, alternative policy offered by themselves. They have therefore risked their whole ense upon a eompulgn of fault rinding, nol to say Blander. If the provincial electorate were a Judicial body, their chances of success would depend wholly upon their success or failure lo prove these charges. So fnr all such utlempts have failed if'.nominiously. Even where the titter failure has been admitted no retraction or upology has been forthcoming. The Inference Is, then, perfectly fair. tliat the Liberal parly has no alternative policy In offer the electorate, thai lt will continue the general policy of Ihe McUride government, and thai his hopes of preferment rest wholly on the chances of success of some of the niuny attempts to convict the present government of wrongdoing. But, there Is unolher issue that cannot be concealed fiom the people of British Columbia. If the people of this province were left to isiiina <��� their own internal af- , fairs us the people of all the provinces were while u Conservative cabinet held office at Ottawa, thc issue would ho simply as to which Bet of aspirants for office offered the greater hope of efficient administration and progressive policy. But the people of this province are not left to manage their own affairs. The control of the campaign has been taken out of the hands of the Liberal association of the province and Is being directed by the Ottawa machine, whose avowed purpose is to suppress what is left of Independence in Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia, nnd bring all Canada under the heel uf that corrupt organization. Because J. A. Macdonald, the provincial Liberal leader, allhoilgb he has recenl ly developed a taste for scandal- mongerlng, is personally clean, a new leader had to be sought, one who was known tu have no scruples aboul honor or honesiy, and one whose assent before hand, for a consideration, to any course dictated hy the machine, could be taken for granted. Such a party leader was available in the person of W. W. B. Mclnnes. Now the Issue���the only real issue��� before the electors of British Columbia, Is: "Will the people of this province continue to manage their own affairs, or will they meekly surrender to Ottawa, and allow the Slftons, Coxes, Prestons and such to dictate their course und plunder the province while ihey do it? THE POLICY AT LAST. It ls a little remarkable lhat the first intelligent statement of policy pin forth on behalf of the Liberal parly In Ihis campaign, comes from u free lunce like Smith Curtis. As The Dully News refers to it for Information one who hus inquired for such u statement through the columns of The Dally Canadian, we are entitled to treat it as authoratitive, at least for the present. lt is Inconceivable lo us that Willie Mclnnes, for instance, should accept his shibboleth from Smith Curtis, who published to the province three yeurs ago his conviction that Mclnnes was unfit for leadership or even for membership lu the Liberal party, utterly without principle or scruple, and worse Ihan Joe Martin. However, Willie is probably too busy talking about himself to worry about such a trifle as a policy. But If Smith Curtis' manifesto is to be accepted as official, Dr. Hall, J. Fred Hume and John Keen must make haste with revised editions of their several efforts, and J A. Macdonald, who owes his first election to the success of Smith Curtis' slander campaign against A. S. Goodeve, must materially modify his views on the working men's vote. Smith Curtis Is running as a Labor-Liberal. Here Ib his appettl to labor: "Amending the laws as to contributory negligence and common employment so as to make them fair to Injured workmen as well as to the employers. "Establishing a labor arbitration act on the lines of the New Zealand act. thus doing away with strikes and lockouts, enabling a living white man's wage to be established, thus driving oul Chinamen, Hindoos, etc., and encouraging without peril to labor the Immigration of desirable white settlers; eabling shorter hours to he got, when right, In any trade, and tending to unionize all wage earners and make them the political power their numbers entitle them to be." If the last sentence means anything at all, it advocates forcing all working men Into labor unions for political purpose. We take Issue with Mr. Curtis on his last mischievous suggestion. It is not numbers hut Intelligence that entitles any class to political power. If numbers constitute a title we are keeping the children fiom their rights. We regret to have to refer to the flrsl piece of dirty tactics ln Nelson during the present campaign. Hitherto the campaign lies have heen manufactured ut the coast, chiefly ln Ihe sunctum of the Vuncouver World. But one���a peculiarly malicious and mischievous one���haB beeu manufactured In Nelson for locul use. It Ib well known to all who huve hnd anything to do with politics In any part of Canada lhat with many voters religious prejudices are very strong, that members of the church of Rome will not Infrequently cross their party line to vote for an adherent of their own faith and that Bome aggresBive Protestants will refuse support to their own party's candidate If the latter be a Ronmn Catholic. It is to the lutler class thut an appeal Is now being made ln secret: Ihe lying statement that John A. Kirkpatrick is a Romanist was placed In circulation yesterday, with the sole object of detaching from his side some Protestants who will not vole for a Roman Catholic if they can avoid lt. Mr. Kirkpatrick Ib a member of the congregation of St. Paul's church. Presbyterian.

Hut some of his supporters have no more sense of honor and honesty than their .new leader���Willie Mclnnes. The relative importance attached by the opposition to their two weapons, criticism and slander, may be judged from the fact that Bince the latest blaBt from the Vancouver foundry against K. F. Green, no space-has been wasted in the Liberal organ on speeches by J. A. Macdonald. or Willie Mclnnes. We commend their judgment: a new slander is far more interesting than anything that either Macdonald or Mclnnes is capable of saying on any subject.

In view of this Information I was extremely surprised to find my name connected with the company in an article appearing in Thc Times last evening." PA88ING OF PROSPECTOR. Ben.

Greenwood, Jan. 23.���Benjamin Per- Greenwood, an. 23.���Benjamin Perk- kins, who bonded his claims oa Kettle river to local people for $60,000, died at the Sisters' Hospital here Tuesday evening. Perkins was suffering from a bad cold when visited In his cabin in the hills last week but appeared to be stronger when the Greenwood men left him Saturday last, and resisted their efforts to induce him to come to town for medical treatment. He got worse, however, on Monday last, and Tuesday morning Mr. Berg, who was working on tbe adjoining claim brought him here to the hospital, where he expired two hours after arrival. The case appeals to one as strikingly pathetic. Por years Perkins worked away on his claims, assured that duly he would realize thereon for his declining days. Last week he observed the (13rd j rthday anniversary in Greenwood and returned to his claims. Hy lived long enough thereafter to option bis property for the amount named bul did not live long enough to enjoy any benefits therefrom. MAY WORK BOTH WAYS.

S., Jan. 23.���The problem of Hooding the Hub colliery at Glace Bay is proving (ar more serious than was al first anticipated and officials of the company who had hoped that the fire would be extinguished within two weeks or so were somewhat wide of tlle mark in their prophecy. Three weeks huve already passed since the fire suited and hundreds of thousands of gallons of waler have been poured Into the smouldering volcano, and many thousands more will huve to flow before it can be said that the fire is out to a certainty. It was reported that at high tide, water from tbe Atlanlc was flowing Into the mine through two openlngB made in the cliff at Table Head. This Is ascertained not to be the case. The water flowed Into the openings and up lhe slojse, but ouly a few waves flowed Into the pit. The water In order to get into the mine would have to go up an Incline above high tide level. All water that haB gone into the mine so far has been from the reservoir at No. 2. ThiB has been flowing In only at the rate of 2500 gallons per hour. The water is still hundreds of feet from the pit bottom where the fire Is believed to* be still burning. A pump ls now being placed at the reservoir In order to lnciease the flow. The question arises how long will Ihis limited reservoir supply hold out. Tho drain upon It is very heavy on*) a seveie frost will probably cut off Its r: sources. Experienced miners siy that the pit will ns:t be recovered lns'de of a year. Tbey do not think the fire ls making nny great gain now, but lhat lt would, never.hclBs, be falal lo open the colliery, as in thai event, smouldering coalB would break out Into flames.
