As announced yesterday last night's council meeting was almost entirely devoted to an investigation of the two tires which have leit the city in darkness and made tlie operation of the tram system a remote prospe '. The meeting was fully attend u nearly every city official being pi. a it; and outside tlie call every foot . ,' standing room wan occupied There1 were prub- abiy nearly a hundred present, ail told. The net result tees that while the substation tire of Saturday morning is believed to be accidental, there is a general conviction that the car barn was destroyed by an incendiary. The council met at 8 o'clock with Mayor Taylor in the chair aud Aldermen McMorris, I'atenaude and Hale present. Aldermen Procter, Kerr and Steed came iu later. The chamber was lighted by an oil lamp, three lanterns and two candles. The minutes of tbe last meeting were read and adopted. The tlnance committee reported recommending accounts and payrolls, which were passed and ordered paid. A cheque for S30U to the city solicitor tor services iu connection with tbe appual to the privy council, was also recommended aud passed. The committee referred au account for J7.5U per day for man and team. which was also passed. The board ot police commissioners reported the changes in the police force already reported in The Canadian. a petition Cram residents from llous- tou, lnnes aud Kooteuay streets complained of excessive surtace water. Tht city engineer reported that nettling could be done with the present capacity of the ditches and lhat no damage had been done It was referred to the board of works. A letter from C.

The Pool Drug company asked per mission to place a large electric lighted sign over the sidewalk at their corner which was granted. lhe city solicitor asked runner details or tlie proposed frontage tax by law. 11 was resolved that he be asked to make suggestions. c P.

Railway company was to be a party, aud suggesting that the work be done at low water nexl wintei It was resolved that Uie board ol works be authorized to carry on ne guilutions with Mr. Coleman. On motion ot Aldermen McMorris and sued, the mayor was authorized to ex uu,Ine under oath any witnesses in con unction with the tires at the substation aud car burn. G. H. Plavle. was sworn as short ham! reporter. Oeorga Blanohard Johnstone was sworn, and tcstilled that at B.18 a. m. ������ Saturday he was told by telephone from Bonnington tbat there might trouble on the Hue. Later llctineclic from the car barn asked foi direct current Hefore giving it he ask ed Honnington if everything were all right, and was told that It was. He cave dlrecl current. Some time later he heard a noise "ke a rocket and turn I,,.. saw un arc about 7 feel in diameter formed across the switchboard. Be telephoned Bonnington to ,'"1 ���**��� <'I"H1 proof door leading l( be Koreninn Ihe lire proof door leaning to the cit> transformers, and threw sand on the lir" After the cut-off he also poured waler on It. but to no purpose. Mr. (Ttsher was present and telephoned tin fire hall He had previously, a week be fore, turned on direct current lor the cat barn, and It had worked ull right. Sunday nlghl and yesterday morning up to two o'clock he had worked ut the substation on R. C. Brown, Illliug the transformers with oil, preparatory to starting the light, power and tramwaj service. H' C. Bullis was also present. He and Others were iu tlie car barn Ire quently on Sunday and Sundny night working in the transtormlng room. They had a lantern. No one smoked. To. A'd. Procter he said be was In the cltv's employ under R. C. Brown. To Aid. Steed he sain he snw no Hre ln the car burn or tool shop at any time Sunday night. When he lclt tbe substation yester day morning R. A. Brown, L. Steel and H. C. Bullis were there. Clarence O. Maddock, loreman or the substation, sworn, said he was in lied at the time of tlie tire in the substation. He bad bad four or five year's experience as electrical operator in Newark, N. J., Spokane, IJonningtou and Nelson. He said that automatic switches occasionally fail; when they do Uiere is danger of explosion and fire. He corroborated .Johnstone's evidence that eucli switch container held more than a gallon of oil. He described the arrangement of the substaUon. He had never before seen an oil switch give trouble. Assuming Johnstone's evidence U> be correct, the trouble must have been caused from elsewhere. The switch should work automatically. A short circuit at the car barn miglu have caused the blowing out. The circuit breakers were ot copper. He had never seen them fly out belore. Since Saturday's fire he had been repairing at the substation, helping to fill transformers with oil. The oil is a mineral oil, thin and *.vhite. They filled two. Oil was scarce in the city. They obtained a small supply by special request to the C. P. R. company. R. A. Brown was In charge of half a dozen city employees. H. 0. Bullis, representing the Allis-Chalmers-Bullock company, was directing. He deposed that if a switch were turned on without the transformer cord being immersed in oil, it would blow everything to pieceB. They had filled iransrormers Nos. 2 and 3 by 11 p. m. Sunday. Under Mr. Bullis' direction they gradually warmed the apparatus and operated until a good light was supplied shortly betore tlie fire at Uie car barn. He thought there was then about 111,000 volts being received from the power plant. He saw the Hre au minutes before tbe alarm rang. He had then been alone for half an hour. Mr. Bullis was the last to leave. Mr. Turown, Mr. Benneche, Steel and Sampson had left previously to go home to bed. Mr. Bullis said he would be back soon, lie was going down town. He, Mr. Bullis, had told Mr. Brown that he would stay all night. He, Maddock, went over to the fire at the car barn, after it had been in progress two hours, to notify Mr. Brown that transformer No. 3 was smoking. Mr Bullis was at tbe substation then and remained there. He, Maddock, did not know what was wrong. Mr. Bullis remarked that it was punctured. When lie, Maddock, returned from the tire. Mr. Bullis was reeling the coils of trans- former No. 3, and reported Uiat they were cool: He had cut it off; he tried it again later, but it smoked again and he cut it off. No. 2 was all right, and worked all the time. To another question he replied tha* Mr. Bullis left the substatiun very shortly after Mr. Brown and the others. To Aid. Procter lie said the fire at the barn seemed to start with a puff of smoke, then a blaze from the roof near tlie l'ront. R. A. Brown, sworn, gave technical details of the working of tlie automatic switch. He thought that nothing that happened at the car barn could have caused the flowing out of the oil switch He believed there must have been a short circuit behind the board. That might have beeu caused in various ways, an overload on the line, the starting of P. Bums and company's motor, a loose contsct or any of several other thiugs. The floor should have been of cement with rubber mats instead of oiled wood, lie knew of no way of determining positively the cause of the substation fire. He considered the way the city's switch boards were wired mads them a death-trap. Be repaired them when absolutely necessary but avoided them when possible. There should be a lank to run the oil into in an emergency. As there was not it bad to run into the gutter. He entirely approved L. Steel's action Saturday morning in running tt off. It wus generally known at the substation lhat the last oil available in the city was in the transformers on Sunday The work was done under him but under Mr. Bullis' supervision. Mr. Bu!lls lift lhe silbslutiou yesterday morning. At tills jsiiut, the mayor read a copy or a letter he had sent by special messengers lo Mr. Jackson of the Allis- Chaliiiers Bullock company, und to R. S Lennle, legal representative of the company, suggesting that Mr. Bullis be withdrawn from the work. Mr. Brown then detailed yesterday's proceedings after the withdrawal of Mr. Bullis. 11.' found Ihe supply of oil seriously depleted. Had a full load been tinned on tin- transformer would have burned out and exploded. The result would have beeu the death of at least two men. He Imd found everthlng tight aboui the transformer; the valves could not have been opened accidentally; some one had de llberately emptied it. Those present h��slde himself were Messrs. Bullis, Steel and Benneche. All understood the supply of oil to tbe last available. Mr. Brown corroborated Maddock as to what occurred Sunday night at the substaUon. his leaving and Mr. Bullis' promise to remain. He, Brown, took the boys to the Nelson cafe to have something to eat. There L. Steel saw and spoke to H. C. Bullis. Mr. Bullis bad left the station with a high voltage being received, within a couple of- thousand of the maximum, and only Maddock, an operator but not an engineer, iu charge. To Aid. Steed he said that the puncture to the transformer would be only ol the insulation. The smoking might have been due to loose connection. To Aid. Procter he said that Mr. Bullis' first theory was a puncture, his second a loose connection. Puncture might be due to damp oil. The only former puncture he knew of was due to lightning and had been repaired. To Aid. Procter he said D"e cf '.hi boys had brought up a little c: i ( i I i- to the subBtation. There was .o wi e to drink. Mrs. Streeter told of noticin ; the in and shouting. She first saw i note's ing from the back part of die not; when she went to the back part of her house flames were bursting trom Uie rear of tlie barn. She had heard noises in the car barn all Sunday evening Ull about 11 o'clock. H. C. Bullis, sworn, said he was at the power plant Saturday morning during the fire at the substation and came in that night. He went to the scene oi the fire Sunday morning. He had ar ranged that Mr, Jackson should remain at tbe plant, while he, Bullis, should take charge at the substation. When be reached the station he found Mr. Brown in charge, expressed his regret that the cords had been removed, but, on account of former unpleasantness with Mr. Brown, lie had not objected, had, in fact, remained outside, Mr. Brown had begun heating the oil. At 12.30 he, Bullic. started the current with 2,000 volts. He then detailed its gradual increase to 11.000 volts which it reached at 2.30 a. m. He was es pecialiy solicitous about furnishing adequate power at that time to the Daily- News and P. Burns and company. He then remained for a time, gave careful instruction to Maddock in whom he had confidence, and went down town for cigars. He had been working under a strain for a long time and needed a smoke. He ran back up the hill as soon a., he knew- there was a fire, slackened his pace when he found it was the cat barn, and returned to the substation. He thought Brown had left the sub station at 1.30. After his return, perhaps :h""i.'-citart- ers of an hour, he heard b t or l ng noise iu the transformer and ah tt It down. Later, between G aid 6 a. in., he had tried again with the E4une ie e'ts. He did not think it specia 1; i angi-t aur. to operate without oil with a light load, but he never risked it. He then went down to the Hume for breakfast, and going to his room, fell asleep and slept till noon. He went up early in the afternoon and told Mr. Brown he believed the gurgling, while the noils were cool, was due to a loose connection, aud his test confirmed that belief. It was about 1 p. m. yesterday when he met Mr. Jackson who was then re celving a long distance telephone from Mr. Lennle in Spokane who communicated the letter from Mayor Taylor. He. Bullis, then suggested to Mr. Jackson that he, Jackson, take charge for bar- mony's sake. He, Bullis, waB now remaining at Mr. Jackson's advice to ad vise and assist. He expected a reprimand from his company but bad taken chances for the city's sake. He heard late yesterday afternoon that the oil had run out of No. 2 transformer. He had no idea of the cause unless some woikman had stepped on the valve. He had warned Mr. Brown of the danger. The same tiling had happened once before. He knew no reason why sny workman should have stepped on that valve. In conversation with John A. Irving, later In the afternoon, he had said that If he had been left there tbe plant would have run last night, but he denied having said ttiat Brown would not get ll running. Asked by the mayor tbe course lie took at 2 p. m. yesterday morning from the station to the Nelson Cafe he said he went by the path through H. C. Cummins', by Latimer and Stanley streets. J. A. Irving, sworn, said he had met H. C. BulllB yesterday afternoon on the corner of Ward and Baker strets between 2 aud 3 p. m. Iu addition lu what Mr. BulllB had given ln evidence as to dielr conversation, he said Mr. Bullis had expressed doubt as to there being any light last night. J. E. Annable said when he first saw the blaze from his window it was coming strongly from the window of the workshop at the southeast corner of the barn. H. W. Benneche, foreman of the car burn, corroborated Blanchard Johnstone's evidence as to the events of Saturday morning. An arc formed on the controllers of the big car, the circuit breaker blowing out. He could not be sure of the cause. He had tried to examine but had no current tor a test. As to the rest he corroborated the evidence of Brown and Maddock, except as to the duration of H. C. Bullis' visit to the substation yesterday atter- noon, and the condition of the valve* or No. 2 transformer which he said were tight after Mr. Bullis had gone. He was in the car barn at 11 o'clock Sunday night with Brown, Steel, Sampson and another. They left at 11; he locked the door by a spring. He lost the key later. But access was eaBy as nearly every board of the floor Ib loose. There was combustible material in tbe work shop and also- In the barn, oils, shellac and other things. To Aid. McMorris, he Bald that with the valve open a transformer would empty In 5 minutes, and the emptying would not be perceptible. The valve could be opened by a touch of the toot. To Aid. Procter he saldjhe fire must have started in the southwest corner ol the barn. There was no sign ol lire when they left. He could Bee no ejt- planaUon or the car barn fire but Incendiarism. There was no live wire connection into the barn. Besides Brown and himBelf. Jackson and Ingram carried keys of the barn. To Aid. Hale he said he had not yet found his key. L. Steel. Bworn. said he thought they had been in tlie cafe three quarters of an hour when he met Bullis. Free minutes later the fire bell rang. His trip to the car barn Sunday night was for tools. He told Mr, Bullis, after the fire, that he was going to cut off the high tension wire. He could not remember making the statement attributed to him by Mr. Bullis. He had no knowledge of the cause of the car barn fire. Chief Deasy told of the substation fire, the advice given to him by W. P. Dickson and his following It. Ab to the car barn fire, he got the alarm at 3:20, and saw- a blaze from the door of the fire hall. When he arrived the building was past saving. There seemed to him to be two fires, one at the rear and one in front. That Impression waa confirmed by investigation after the fire. He found evidence of saturation with oil. He had sent Assistant Chief A. Jeffs. W. S. Pearcy and D. Herb to the rear of the building with a line of hose. They reported a very strong smell of coal oil. To Aid. Steed he said he still thought the fire had started, or been started in two different plaA-es. This concluded the taking of evidence. City Solicitor W. A. Macdonald. K. C, then read to the council paragraph 5 of the city's lease, quoted in The Daily Canadian yesterday, and gave Mb opinion that the city was not ln any way liable, if the fire were of Incendiary, electrical or accidental cause, and that there was no negligence of civic employees. City Clerk Wasson stated that the city had kept up all Insurance ln force at the time of the lease, as detailed ln The Daily Canadian yesterday. To Mr. Macdonald, R. A. Brown said that no test was being made Saturday- morning. At the request of E. C. Wragge, Mr. Brown was asked how long Mr. Bullis had been In the substation yesterday afternoon. He replied that he could not say. but certainly not more than half an hour. The evidence was ordered to be transcribed aud preserved. On the question of future policy as to the tramway service Aid. Procter advocated acquisition by the city if possible. He thought it might now be bought cheaply. The city solicitor declined to give au off-hand opinion aB to the situation. The mayor drew attention to the city's financial position, with borrowing powers exhausted. He suggested a possibility of bonusing the company with free power. He also doubted the advantages of municipal ownership as applied to such a business aB a tramway with very complex relations, which require the greatest possible continuity of management. The city clerk was instructed to communicate the facts to the Nelson Electric Tramway Company. The city engineer wus Instructed, at the school board's request, to as slst them ln preparing and planning the necessary grading of the school groundB and adjacent streets. It was resolved that the tramway committee confer with the city solicitor aB to tuture plans. The mayor reported that Mr. Jackson reports the city power plant running entirely satisfactorily. Aid. Procter urged that experienced men be employed In all positions connected with power plant. The mayor defended the present arrangements. R. A. Brown had no re|Hirt at present, on appointments to positions at the power plant. Aid. Procter thought a report should lie ready as early as possible. Aid. McMorris wished It generally understood that there was no blame attaching to any employee. The mayor concurred. R. A. Brown aald that Blanchard Johhstoone had behaved as well as possible. Aid. Procter agreed. The mayor apologized to G. Fisher whom he had asked to be present aud forgotten to call. He asked him to put tn a written statement. A resolution was passed without dlB- sent declaring the city employees blameless In respect of both fires. R. A. Brown waa authorized to procure a new switch, as the Canada Zinc Company require, the one borrowed from them. The council then���at 12:05 a. m.��� adjourned to May 4th. FOR G. T. P. LANDS New Company to Handle Towosites GOVERNMENT APPROVES Necessary to Give Settlers Clear Title to Lots Purchased���General News of Ottawa. Ottawa, April 28.���Acc'ording to returns brought down in the commons yesterday a company bas been incorporated known as the Grand Trunk Pacific Town and Development company, to handle townsites of the G. T. P. K. The reason given tor this course waa that the railway company found that if the management of tbe townsites were in the hands of the company itself, difficulty would arise owing to the fact tbat certain bonds have been Issued which are secured by trust mortgage covering all railway and personal property of tbe railway company, and the company could not therefore give a clear title to lands. This reason was recognized by tbe government as valid as the company is permitted to purchase 13,043 acres of Dominion lands for townsite purposes by an order-ln- councll passed January 22 of this year, the rate being S3 an acre, although tbe company paid tor them at the rate of tl an acre. The Town and Development company 1b also permitted to purchase 12,287 acres from homesteaders which had not been patented, but earn homesteader had to pay tbe government SI tor every acre that he had surrendered to tbe company. The labor department lias received application tor the appointment, of a board of conciliation and incestlgation ln connection with a dispute of employees of tbe mechanical department of the C. P. R. No Light Tonight There will be no electric light or power service tonight and probably not tor several days. fH. C. Bullis has telegraphed to Winnipeg asking R. H. Zavltz to return at once. * A.

If anything inure bad been requited to demonstrate the utter luck oi conviction, purpose or principle iu tbe Dominion government if is iuruished h) tbe cumiilete culiapse on Uie question ol civil Bervice reform and tbe relation between civil service and patron* age. if is an abject surrender lo All. Loi den uud will be so Interpreted b) ever) Canadian. The question uutm ftdy arises 11 .Mr. burden is tu dictate tt,. policjj ut t unuda. Would if nut be better to place bim iu tlie responsible position oi premier '.'" Abuui a muiitb ugu a resolution w a introduced illtu tile Cummolib giving expression tu tbe civil service reform declaration in Mr, Borden's Halifax pro iiouncoiiicnt. Sir Wilfrid, Willi bis ui. uul politeness uud uulluuy mule, BX pressed bis s> mouthy with tbe motives. The real reply of tbe government was delivered by Air. Fielding, wbo coupled a meuningJcsa usseut fo tbe general principle ot civil service reform win* an emphatic declaration tbat ull op* pi ointments, pi uuiutions uud dlstnlsul must be at the discretion of ministers. Uut lu quote Disrueii s memorable remark: "Many things huve happened sinco iheu." Revelations or inoompe tency, indolence und dishonesty in matt} departments have driven tlie ministers helpleBSiy trom ditch to ditcb, vuinly seeking a tenable line ol defence, Mr. AyicBwoith's unspeakably silly attempt to throw tin- blame on civil servants ap pointed prior tu 1X00 wus laughed oul of court even by his uwn puny. Mr. lirodeur could only plead childishly that he had not bad time since taking over hia department to become familiar Willi bin staff. Tbe ministers were, ln fact, reduced to tlie alternative of admitting tin Ir own guilt ur th,. rottenness of tin- bi i- vice. Naturally they chose th.- latter, ami. having admitted thai the Bervice is helplesa they can do nothing but humblj follow Mr. Borden's plat Improving it, as the voice of Canada Insistently and unmistakably demands. Such a course is not now to Liberal experience but this last is probabl) the plainest instance, in facl the whole Liberal record since 1888 shows ihut every apparently progressive measure ui proposal is an Imitation. The tram continental Railway is hut a duplication or tlie C. P. It.; the present tarifl is hut a slightly distorted National Policy, although oar Liberals, like their British prototypes, repudiate the name ut protection; Mr. Slfton's advocacy of uu All Red loaute and a Hudson's Baj Railway ate resurrected proposals ol Sir Charles Tupper, mude lb yuurs ago. The Laurier government ill 1- years of power lias initiated nothing���except tin railway commission, a valuable Instru ment, it is tiui', but so far without achievement CANADIAN BYE ELECTIONS. Tbe patronage system is too firmly established in Canada to perrail ,,i i rn i. lessons io a i iiiiii.-i,! i,i power aa Mr. Asqulth has received la the defeat ul Winston Churchill, But for that verj i' icon there is all the more Bignlncanci lu the least sign ot revolt. Liberal organs, especially ihe lessor ones, keep tilling uf lhe splendid ad ministration ot sir Wilfrid Laurier and Ills liuld on tlie people or Cunada. One or the Liberal organs in Quebec, Le Canada, has lately committed a similar iNOTICIJ. A general meeting 0r the shareholders ol Ibe Imperial Coal Ai. Coke Com puny, Limited, will be held at the ui- Ilce of the Compauy, Room IK, Sovcr sign Bank Building, Montreal, Thursday, the Thirtieth day of April, Jims, fur the purpose of electing directors to hold office until the nexl Annual Meet Ing, to consider tlie financial position ot tlie Company, and to adopt audi means as may bo deemed most advlx able with a view to arranging its finances, and ror such other business as may he legally brought before the meeting.

According to iii,- arguments used in estimating British conditions, tbe Canadian government is gaining ground. "This would be a lair criticism if Le Canada's facts about Canadian bye-elec lions were unassailable.

Victoria, April 28.���The programme for this year's work iu the surveying of outlying sections of the province has been practically completed. More of this will be done during the forthcoming summer than has been attempted heretofore, it being the intention of the provincial government to obtain accurate and official knowledge of the different promising agricultural valleys to the north as far as possible, in order that settlers may be introduced on a satislactory basis. Surveyor-General McKay stated yesterday that surveys would be carried on during the warm season in many parts of the interior of llritish Columbia. Among the principal agricultural sections to be dealt wilh are the following: Ulackwater (Cariboo,), Lilloet, Nechaco, Bulkley and Percher Island (south of the townsite of Prince Rupert). It was explained tbat the reason the authorities had selected these sections for immediate survey work was because they seemed to be the main point of attraction to the outsider at the present time. Ou that account it was desired that the Crown lands in the respective localities should be officially recorded. Thus it would be possible, on inquiry being made at the department, to give the intending settler all the information he would require to enable him to make up his mind as to whether he would care to settle in any of the districts. And should he decide to take up a pre-emption he would be able to establish a homestead without the dissatisfactory possibility of being told, later, that he had not taken up the land to which he had been assigned. Surveyor-General MacKay waa asked whether any steps had been taken towards surveying the Queen Charlotte Islands. In reply he said that the matter was under consideration. Although nothing definite had been done ft was altogether likely that a party would be s'int there at an early date. Last evening a party of six left for the north In charge of Surveyor Harvey. U Is understood that their intention is to spend the summer at work through the territory adjacent to the Skeena River. The surveyor-general affirms that there are many applications for land In the neighborhood of Prfnce Rupert. This fact has induced the governlnent to send an expedition to Percher Island, which lies just off the townsite of the prospective Grand Trunk Pacific terminus. He says that tlie investigation already accomplished has proved that tho Island mentioned Is splendidly adapted to agricultural use. He expects that it will be fully taken Up in the not distant future. TENDERS. SEALED TENDERS, marked "Ten der," will be received until 12 o'clock noon Monday, May 4th, 1908, for grad ing the public school grounds as per plans prepared by the city engineer.

James ,\. ll. Baird, chief surveyor of the Mainland Board of Fire Dnderwrit ers, is in the city and was present at the tire on Saturday. He timed the fire department from the alarm until the water was turned on the building aud stairs the work was accomplished in seven minutes. Considering the distance and the laying of 700 feet of hose over hills, a bridge and through the gardens In the neighborhood, where it was necessary to carry the hose by hand, the time made was favorably commented on by the chief surveyor.
