To More From Clilekfliiiuiifrn. Chickaniauga Park, Chattanooga, Oa., July 4.—Late yesterday -afternoon an order arrived from the war department to General Brooke, directing him to designate about 20,000 men for immediate de* jKirture to the south, and at onee there was great excitement and hustle in the oamp. (Jeneral Brooke declined to make public the order, but it is understood that 'he has selected the First division of the First corps and two brigades of the Second division to be moved at once. The First division is composed of the following regiments: ■First brigade—First Kentucky, Third Wisconsin, Fifth Illinois. Second brigade—Fourth Ohio, Third Illinois, Fourth Pennsylvania. Third brigade—Sixteenth Pennsylvania, Second Wisconsin, Third Kentucky. Second division, First brigade—Thirty- first Michigan, One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana, First Georgia. Second brigade—Sixth Ohio, One Hundred, and Sixty-first Indiana, Sixth West Virginia. Xew York, July 4.—A dispatch to the Herald from oil Santiago, via Playa del Este, July 2, says j Three vessels of Admiral Sampson's fleet have just returned from an adventurous expedition to Mnnzanillo, during which they sank two Spanish gunboats, one sloop and one pontoon, disabled a Spanish torpedo boat, considerably damaged several of the enemy's gunboats aud compelled thc captain of a troop ship to run towards shore. I One of Admiral Sampson's vessels, the Hist, wiih struck II times and nnother, j tho Hornet, was disabled by a shell which hit her main stem-pipe. She was towed lout of danger. I Admiral Sampson sent the Hist, the I Hornet and the vYampatuck to ManzAntllo ; to destroy four Spanish gunboats whicli the admiral had been Informed were lying in that harbor. Instead of encountering that number of vessels the Americans encountered nine vessels, including a torpedo boat and cruiser. They also found the most of the vessels flanked by the land batteries and armed pontoons, while a heavy battery of artillery wns in position on the water front to aid in making warm the reception of Sampson's vessels. Hornet Hit l» a .Shell. When the firing was tlie hottest a shell went scurrying in the direction of the Hornet striking in the stern-pipe of that vessel, scattering over the deck and doing great damage. As soon as the Hist ami (he Wampatuck discovered that the Hornet was disabled their captains decided It would be useless to fight longer against such a superior enemy. Accordingly the Wampatuck hastened to the rescue of the Hornet, thc. Hist meantime keeping up its sharpest flre. After the Wampatuck had succeeded in getting a line on tlie Hornet she steamed out to sea with the disabled vessel in tow. The Hist followed dost! after, pouring shot at the enemy until out of range. During the engagement the American vessels succeeded in sinking one of the Spanish gunboats, one sloop and damaging one torpedo boat. They also did much damage lo several gunboats in the harbor and made a marked impression on the Spanish land batteries. As if this was not enough excitement for one small auxiliary cruiser, the Hist poked her nose into Neguira bay and discovered a Spanish gunboat lying there. She immediately opened flre on the Spaniard, which taken so completely by surprise, replied feebly and inaccurately. She was sunk by the Hist in 10 minutes. ARiiiiifililo Acts Humanely. Washington, June 30.—The navy department today made public the following cablegram from Admiral Dewey, brought by the McCulloch to Hong Kong and though undated supposed to have been sent from Cavite June 23rd: "No change in the situation since my telegram of June 17. Five German, three British, one French and one Japanese men-of-war are in port. Tlie insurgents are constantly closing in on the city. Aguinaldo, thc insurgent leader, with 13 of his staff arrived May 19, by my permission on the Nan Shan. He established himself at Cavite outside of the arsenal under the protection of our guns and organized his army. The progress of Aguinaldo has been wonderful. He has invariably conducted the war humanely. My relations with him are cordial, but my conferences have generally been only of a personal nature." Merritt Off ai hant. San Francisco, June 30.—The steamer Newport, with General Merritt on board, sailed yesterday for the Philippines. Grent crowds had gathered to witness the departure of the vessel. Many tug boats and yachts chartered for the occasion accompanied the Newport down the bay out through the Golden Onto into the Pacific, where the last farewells were waved to the departing military men gathered on the deck of the steamer. General Merritt is very anxious to avoid nn encounter with any vessel from the Spanish navy and will issue orders to the fleet at Honolulu to make all possible speed to the islands. Four Killed, Muny Wounded. $helby, Ohio, July 4.—A bridge crossing the Mohican river here fell this afternoon with 1000 people. Four were killed outright and a number injured, some of them seriously. A pubiie wedding was being celebrated on the bridge as one of the features of tlie celebration. Just as the ceremony hnd been completed, the bridge went down with a crash) precipitating the people a distance of 18 feet. Those killed wero: Cyrus Kuban of Shelby, aged 50; Mrs. Louisa Monnhan of Edison, aged 55; Ada Bloodhart of Shelby, aged 12; Frank Keiekler of Shelby, aged 12. Attack mi Mnn -Junn. New York. July 2.—A dispatch to the Evening World, dated "In lhe Held, two miles from Santiago, July I," nnd cabled from Playa del Este, says: San Juan heights lmve fallen and the way is now opened for the advance on Morro castle, lt was a glorious victory, but very dearly purchased. Tlie place was the strongest Spanish outpost, well fortified and valiantly defended. The position was an excellent one. It was also occupied by barracks and other buildings, but the American troops stormed the heights and Spanish valor had to yield to the bull dog tenacity and courage of thc Anglo-Saxon. As I write our troops are swarming up the hill and covering it like ants. The Spaniards nre demoralized. The fighting has been of the hardest kind, and our troops have suffered severely, but thc enemy's works are in their hands and they don't count tlie cost. Kl Qiney is also ours. Tlie general advance, which began at 3 p. m., has been successful all along the line. After driving thc enemy out of Kl Caney, the troops took possession of the village and destroyed the Spanish forts by which it had been defended. Thc Spaniards fled into Santiago, where they now are. Losses on both sides are very heavy. Tlie bursting of a Spanish shell almost annihilated an entire company of our troops. The heavy volley firing was heard for three hours. It seemed to indicate a strong American advance. There is no artillery firing from El Caney and only scattering shots come from San Juan. Both divisions are really in battle. The day is clear nnd a moderate breeze blowing* but there is strong heat. The troops arc in good condition. The battery has shot 100 rounds, two-thirds shells and the balance shrapnel. The military balloon used by the signal corps for the purpose of obtaining accurate information as to the location of the enemy and the character of defenses, proved of inestimable service in the engagement. In tbo fighting at San Junn a Spanish shell burst in tho midst of Oap tain Pur- tie's battery in thc First artillery, wounding several. Roosevelt's Rough Riders were also in this fight und bore themselves with as much credit as in the last four days' battle in the bush. Several Hough Riders ore wounded. ('mils Fleet Left Port Hold.

The Infanta Miarla Teresa, Oquen- io antl Vizcaya, were forced ashore, and burned and blown up within twenty miles of Santiago. The Furor und Pluton were destroyed within four miles of the port. Our loss is one kilh^l and two wounded. Thc enemy's lass is probably several hundred from the gun fire, explosions and drowning. We have about 1,300 prisoners, including Admiral Cervera. The man killed was Geo. H. Kllis, chief yeoman of tlio Brooklyn. SAMPSON." Shafter'K IleportH. Washington, July 4.—Tlie war department hns given out the following: "Headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps, near Santiago, July 3. —Tonight my Hues completely surrounded thc town from the bay on the nortli of the city to a point on San Juan river on tlie south.

Playa del Kste, 0:30 a. m., July 4.— Headquarters of the Fifth Army Corps. near Santiago.—When tbe news of tlie disaster to the Spanish Ileet reached the front, which was dining the truce, a regimental band that had managed to keep its instruments in line played the "Star Spangled Banner" aud "There'll Be a Hot Timo in the Old Town Tonight." Meu were cheering from one end of the line to the other. Officers and men are without tents and have been soaking for five days in the afternoon rains, but all arc happy. SHAFTER." ftoniuurdnicnt PoNtooned. Washington, July 4.—The secretary of war has received a lengthy and most important dispatch from Shafter, It has excited much rumor, but the essential points can be given authoritatively. It states1 Shaffer's demand for the surrender of Santiago at noon today ou pain of bombardment. That thereupon the foreign consuls at Santiago made a joint representation requesting that the women and children in the city havo until Tuesday noon to withdraw before the bombardment begins. The Spanish general declined to surrender at the time first set by Shafter. At present a truce exists pending the expiration of the 24 hours asked for by the foreign consuls. Shafter has given the Spaniards until noon tomorrow before he will bombard the town and proceed to the final and most aggressive operations. Everything is announced to bc very favorable. I'an-rlo Failed to Arrive. New York, July 4.—A dispatch to the World from Washington says: General Miles has received a dispatch from Lieutenant Colonel Wagner of the bureau of military information, now at Sanliiago, in which he states that-General Pnndo has not formed a junction with the forces of General Linares. Pnndp, with 5000 men, is still some distance from Santiago. General Garcia, with 3000 Cubans, is between Pando antl Santiago and is successfully resisting his efforts to reach that city. Ml let. Going to Santiago. Washington, July 4.—General Miles received two^dispatches from Shatter this morning. In one Shafter says: "I feel I am master of the situation nnd can hold the enemy for any length of time." In the other Shafter says: "My demand for the surrender of Santiago is still being considered by the Spanish authorities." One of these dispatches was in response to the congratulations from Miles in the course of which he said: "I expect to be with you in one week with strong reinforcements." Shafter's answer expressed delight at tlie announcement of Miles' coming that he might see the obstacles encountered. lleluforeementN tu lie Sent. New York, July 4.—A special to the World from Washington says: (Jeneral Miles was buoyant with hope when he received the news that Santiago had becn reduced to ruins. He said: "Hie, news is splendid and puts a most brilliant aspect upon the situation. While it may affect the plans of military operations in Santiago very materially, it will not stop the operations to be carried ou there. "The destruction of the city does not necessarily mean that the Spanish troops have been driven out, for they were iu the breastworks surrounding the city and may not have been dislodged. It may be, however, that they were demoralized and wc.ro put to flight. Wc will continue the plun of sending reinforcements just thc same. Troops in sufficient numbers will leave Tampa, Chickaniauga and Camp Alger. I cannot give details at this time. Wnhioii (Joe-* at Once.

I'Mretvurks Make It I.Ike Fourth of July. "The days preceding Christmas are punctuated at intervals uilh the sharp tones of firecrackers, merely to keep the world from forgetting that Christmas is almost at hand," writes Julia Truitt Bishop of "Where Christinas is Like Fourth of July," descriptive of Christmas scenes and customs iu New Orleans, in the July Ladies' Home Journal. "One firecracker at a time is set off, for it is sinful to waste a whole bunch at once until Christmas eve. Kvery night the tumult increases, a kind of jubilant applause in mild explosives, a mere intimation of what is coming later. Every business house which can under any pretense 'handle' fireworks, handles them by the ton. Even the windows of the grocery Stores are filled with them, for the grocer has recognized that there are people in New* Orleans who may dispense with roast turkey stuffed with truffles, but nobody can do without fireworks. There are hundreds of children who never hang up a stocking, but every one of them would think the world was coming to an end if there were no fireworks for him on the one night of all the year." The Hut tie nn Saturday. New York. July 3.—A dispatch to the Herald from Headquarters of the American Army, via Playa did Kste, Cuba, suys: Undaunted by the terrible nud bloody reception they met yesterday, General Shafter's men ut daybreak this morning resumed their tierce assault upou the Spaniards in Santiago. They pressed forward to the attack with an energy that augurs certain victory. Cheered by the advantages gained yesterday, and with their enthusiasm not at all checked by the destructive work done by Spanish Shells in their ranks, our men moved on wilh grim determination, confident of taking Santiago before nightfall. Less than a mile lay between them and the city's inner defenses. To the northeast American troops were pressing in between Caney and Santiago, and to the south of them divisions of (Jeneral Shafter's army were advancing steadily on the city. Between the two Hues the main body of the army wus advancing steadily, defiantly, against the middle eastern section of the city lines. Off Santiago tlie flame-clad fleet was thundering against the harbor butteries. Every ship in Admiral Sampson's fleet was engaged in this work of destruction. Mountains of great white smoke arising high above the vessels showed how hotly the American gunners were at work, Ry land and sea the American forces followed up yesterday's assault Although the 48 hours desired by General Shafter to capture has expired, the navy vied with the army in the struggle to make the Spanish defeat complete within the time named bv the American commander. Trouble Anions iniinrgcentfi. Hong Kong, July 2.—According to pri- ato letters from Cavite, dated June 27, the insurgents occupy the whole of But- acan province, occasional skirmishes oc* lining there. The insurgents captured the Spanish ship Babul jn Kayabo buy, while she was landing 500 troops. A stubborn fight occurred, in which the Spanish commander, a lieutenant colonel, was killed. The insurgents have captured the governor of Bulucan, together with his wife nnd children. General Aguinaldo plated under arrest the rebel leaders, Artachio aud Sandico, for having revealed the fact that thc steamer Passlg, recently seized by the Hong Kong authorities, wns laden with nrms for the insurgents, Sandico appealed to Consul Williams, and was liberated. He is now ou board the Xunshun. It is feared that the incident will cause a split in the insurgent party, Sandico being influential uud the only insurgent leader capable of administration. The In* suigents fear thut General Aguinaldo will Bhoot Artachio, unless Admiral Dewey interferes, as lie is suspicious that Sandico intended to form an opposition party. Heavy l.oimea of officer*. Washington, July 5.—A remarkable feature of the fighting in Cuba, and one much commented upon in military circles. is the heavy loss in killed and wounded of commissioned and non-commissioned officers. In spite of the distress whieh thc loss of so many ollicers has occasioned, the jinny officials point to thc list as splendid evidence of the dash and personal bravery of the men who wear shoulder straps. Among the killed nnd wounded since the first fight at Juragua huve been officers of every grade, from colonel down, and in numbers said to be almost unprecedented in proportion to the forces engaged. The loss of officers In the two days' lighting around Santiago demonstrates to military men that the American officers lead their men wherever Ihey are called to go. In 184(1 tlie late Lord Play fair suggested the petroleum industry, and afterward that of paraffin candles, and induced his friend James Young to establish a manufactory of both. Tlie castle of Heidelburg is the largest in Germany. Wur Given -Topper u lluotn—l,e Hoi Stock Now Controlled by 11. A. C— Activity ln the Coeur d'Alene uud Luke Chelun in* trict— Mining \ote<t.

Owners of copper mines, producing or giving promise of profitable development, can view the war und industrial situation with complacency, suys the Mining and Scientific Press. Next lo reliable war news nothing is iu more active present demand than copper. As with gold and other metals, this west half of America is of prime importance to t'he nation in this regard. A New York broker saysi "During the past three years no shares of any kind of enterprise have shown the remarkable und steady incrcaso in values that, the copper shares huve. During the past yenr und a hull eight of the leading copper stocks have Increased over |50j000,000, and they hnve increased over $20,000,000 during the past six months. The total par value of their capitalization is only $10,000,000. The Rothschilds uud other big capitalists of Kurope have agents exploring the entire western continent for copper properties und a large number ol English bankers and operators have tlieir American correspondents looking up copper mines or large blocks of stocks in such properties fer investment purposes. The ownership of all the American copper mines is in the hands of a very few people, and less than 100 American copper 'mine owners control the world's market for copper. The demand for the metal is greater thun the supply, the total visible slock on hand was never so low as now. and would bc exhausted entirely In two or three months if the supply was stopped in any way.'* As things are at present, it looks as though the world needed copper more than gold. It is predicted that copper will sell for 1.1 cents before January 1, lNOfl. lt is being produced at a total cost of less thnn one-half that figure. lu the Coeur d'Alene Mine.*.

For the third time in six months the Shidelcv postoffice, eight miles north of Muncie, Indiana, was robbed last Monday duy night. Tin- booty amounted to $50. Gen. Weyler says t lin t instead of sending Cervera's squadron to Cuba to be hot iled up at Santiago, it should huve been sent lo destroy eastern const, cities of the l'nited States. Two hundred girls belonging to local Xo. M. of ihe L'nited Garment workers, at Wappinger Palls, New York, have contributed several truck loads of provisions to starving Cubans. David Ferris, a retired Xew York grocer, driven to frenzy by the constant nagging of his mother-in-law, shot und killed her and then turned the weapon on himself ivith fatal results.

The moment Is now not far distant when our eleetors tjiilst gOjtO the polls and decide Iseuos of the greatest moment to this district not only but to'all^rlttsli Columbia as well. Upon fjHjir decision depends In a measure (he future <»' the entire province. This Is a most critical point in our history, und Upon the people theniHelvetj depends tho de- eldillg of the issue. If our future is to be ouo of progress and prosperity we must have in power a government composed of energetic and progressive men, who. have faith In the province and will see that every thing possible Is done for Us development uud the furtherance of its best interests. V-VV have just entered upou an era of prosperity vyhicb has been wisely fostered and encouraged'by those In power. The program as dfhfled Uy the gave foment party Is a most commendable and^nergeflg une and anything which will fend to prevent or hinder its immediate carrying out will be u direct blow to tho futuretrogress and pros* erlty of both district and province The question t into that of whloh candidate te the S*cst iit- ted to assist iu the carrying out or the reforms necessary for tho prosperity and advancement of this district, and thut is the only nUBBtlon which should he considered by our electors iu deciding for whom they will cast their ballot when the critical moment arrives. Politics and party should be cast to the winds and the voters of this section polled for u man who will us our representative command thejutteutiou and respect of the government, who can have a voice in the malting of our laws and whose every effort will he for the advancement "' any measure, 110 matter by whom advanced, which will tend to the development and prosperity of the constituency which he represents. Not a man who. even if he were electod would he ono of a hopelessly small minority, wljo would curry no weight, either with tho government or his own party, a man who has no decided ideas or opinion*-, who knows nothing of parliamentary usage and who would be nothing better than u mere figurehead without power to obtain for us no legislation whatever, either good or bad; lu fact one whoso office would be merely un Cmpty honor. Il is betweeu such men that our voters must decide, and ut once. The critical morn ent is ut hand. would bc if elected; but Jim didn't show up.

Nothing more is needed to show that Editor Boss of the Boundary Groek Times is n gentleman aud a g*qod politician than the active part ho took in the government meet- tiutf at Greenwood, aud the eloquence, with which such expressions as "liar," "dammed liar," etc., ad lib., flowed from hiu lips. The Opposition enn advance not one single iswue or principle upon whieh the government should be overturned. There is nothing better upon whieh to huso their campaign than a great deal of harsh and unfounded criticism, and au ovor-poweriug desire for office. It ia said that the reason Jas. Martin WOUld not go to Greenwood to speak against Mr. McKane, was that there was no,-; enough room for him in McKane's wagon aud he was too hard up to hire one o f his owu. A votb for Jim Martin is progress and prosperity. a vote against Uncle Sam is alright. When he was only a little boy ho twisted the liritish lion's tall, niid>ow he is giving the nations of the world an example of the advantage of careful naval training over mere frantic, fanatic oourare. The feats of destroying the Spanish squadrons nn Muuilla and Santiago de Cuba without the loss of a single American ship, andjilmost wlthout-llos* of life, ftre, two which have never before been eiiuulled in the history of the world, no matter how great the odds way have been. The United States has never hud a lurge navy but with such gunnery as has heen displayed) during its present wur It seems entirely unnecessary. The gallant actions of the Americun army und navy;lu thls>ontest may well be watched with interest and lauded hy every loyal Briton, as after all the United States is only, as was aptly remarked hy au American statesman, "a BrJthjh oolpny which wouldn't let its mother spank it," and Americans uud Bi-itotm ure really of one blood. With an offensive and defensive alliance these two great Anglo Saxon nations peed fear nothing from the rest of tho entice; we-rld; und eventually there will he such un alliance. MINING _RECORDS.

IN tlio last ls.no of the Ilonndary Croek Times appear, the assert Um that Ur. liu... rs, „f pj-ssland, and John McKane, independent Jn,g^?W ■SrR*?*SSfc,ofSll government candidate for the legislative assembly from tbis district, were responsible for Boundary district having been tacked onto the newly created electondVlintrict In- ttead of being made a riding hy itself, they having first suggested the matten to tho gOV" eminent. This wus only nnother of the many deliberate mis-statements to which the opposition has resorted lu theii.»wild attempt to defeat the government by fair means or foul; hut lu this particular case the neat little campaign lie was immediately "nailed to the erow," Mr. McKane himself being In Greenwood to address a meeting only two days after its publication and forcing Editor Ross to retract the stutement and apologize for its utterance in a public meeting, at which Mr. Ross, with a number of his Ilk, wa« attempting to create a disturbance. ONE of the strongest points which the oppositionists have bepp attempting to uiuke lu the present compaign Is the manner In whieh the government has been ex* pending the money in the various "districts. It is stated that they have wasted It, uud even worse Is hinted ut. Such statements ure rather extraordinary in view ofthe fact thut in ten yeurs of scrupulous und exuctlug criticism thc opposition Ims fulled to point OUt one single important instance In which their claims bnve been established. It Is strange that In ull this tlipejthe rocords of the house do nut show a single Investigation or a proof to establish these statements. They dure to m;ike nothing more thun vague nisertloiis. A speclflcchurge hus uever been laid or a specific wrong alleged. Sijrely In the face of these facts the^op()ositlou should blush to insinuate what they huve never hud tbe courage to nt tempt to prove. As an instance'of the udvautage to be gained by this district being represented iu the next provincial assembly by u muu who Is In sympathy with the government may be cited the fact that Kootenay, represented by n government roan J has In the last ten years paid the province u revenue of 1980,000 und has lu the same time had expended in improvements ubout |040,000, or over two-thlyds of the revenue received; while Bast Yale with an opposition representative, bv- in the same time paid hundreds of thousands of dollars In revenue and hatjfecelved In return less than one-tenth that amount in improvements. Under these circumstances, can any man whjO has the infarcts of the dfs- trlct at'heart think it adviseable tg send as our representative a man who is opposed to the government tooth and nail, and who can of courseexpect no concessions from it whnt- KtJf Superior, Willett et al. lIiKhiund:Chlef,IdahoTriuketaud lIoineKtake, cheer et. al.

JI 8ff ONE Joint Debate of the Candidates. WAS WELL ATTENDED And the Urge Crowd Listened With Interest to an Exposition of the Oovernment's Policy. The meeting called lost Saturday night In Victoria hall, for the purpose of hearing from Mr. McKane. the independent government candidate, an exposition of hU views nnd tbe platform on which he asks the mif - ferage of the voters of the Boundary country, was a marked contrast to that held tho evening before by his opponent, Mr. Jas. Martin, there being present a large majority of the voters uf this sectlott and a great deal of enthusiasm being manifested. Tho meet ing was called to order by Mayor Davis who was placed In the chair nud after a short speech setting forth the objects of the meeting Introduced Judge W.J. Nelson, of Rossland, who expressed greut pleasure at Ixung able to speak In McKane's behalf in Grand Forks, and he WM more pleased to have the opportunity of nu eting lu Joint debate Mr. Martin, who like the Spanish Ileet before belug bottled up lu Santiago harbor, had so far succeeded in eluding the government speakers. He appeared, he said, in behalf of a mau who, if elected, would place tbe Interests of his constituency first and that of the government seeoud. After reading a portion of the manifesto Issued by Premier Turner, showing the amount of revenue received by the government from the Kootenay district during the last ten years to have been $980,- 000 while In the »amo time over 1600,000, or over two-thirds of the revenue, had been expended in Improvements whloh had so greatly opened up the district that almost half of the $930,000 revenue had been received during the last two years. This was the kind of a government the opposition wanted to overthrow. Such a policy aB that of the Turner government wuh what was wanted to open up the vast mineral resources of the Boundary country. The general policy of the government had always been one of progresi and advancement they had faith In the province and bad always worked for tho best interests of every pari of It, not for any particular sectiou. He then proceeded to examine the policy of the opposition, showing that they could not-of era single reason for the overthrow of the present government, that they promised nothing whatever If they were placed In power, and that their whole campaign was confined, not to dfcbate and argument but to a continual round of abuse and criticism of the government and Its leaders. Taking up the matter of the tax on working miners, about which the opposition has made such a howl, he said that Mr. McKar.e would favor the removal of the tax from miners employed in the mines under ground but that he thought it should be maintained on prospectors. As to the tax on mortgages us administered at present it was a tax paid by the poor man who was forced to mortgage his property, and Mr. McKane would favor Its abolutlon, as soon as possible without Injuring too severely the revenues of the province. ( The government, everyone conceded was certain to be returned, and eveu it an oppositionist was elected from this district he would have uo Influence with the government and could not gain for u<.tlje concessions which oould be obtained by a man iu sympathy with the government. And this matter should not be a question of party or personal feeling but of the best Interests of the district/-.* a whole. He then took up Mr. McKane's platform and showed the advantages to be gained by such a policy as outlined. He closed by predicting a sure victory for Mr. McKane on the C(h. Jas. Martin was then Introduced and he scolded and fumed for some time, roasted the government, Mr* McKane, the G. P. R. and everybody else, but did not advance any arguments in his jiwn favor or produce any proof of his rather wild aqd rumbling statements. After Martin hud'finished his tirade, Mr. McKane was introduced and explained that his candidacy as an independent government supporter meant tliat he would not follow the erack of the government whip in eVery thing, but would support any measure, no matter by whom brought forward, which would be for the best interests of the district. The opposition claimed that the government had no platform. He claimed that the government bad a policy and It was oue which meant progress and prosperity for the entire province. On the other hand the policy of the opposition seemed to be confined to criticism of the government, they had maligned the government at every turn. Taking up tbe railway question he showed that the charter asked for by Mr. Corbin allowed him seven years iu whioh to complete his road and two In which to begin operations, while the 0. P. R. had agreed that If Corbin's charter was not allowed they would build their line at onee, and they were now •-. at work. So that in reality the railway ''■ question, which had been a sore spot with the voters of this district was not so bad as It had seemed. The opposition had raised a great bowl about the province being gerrymandered, but It waff not. Iu 1894, when the last election took place, the government had polled 17,- (167 votes-against the opposition's 18,518, or a majority of 4,000. He could not see much of a gerrymander about that. They had also howled that the government was running us Into debt. "True there was an excess of 948,000 expenditure over the revenue, but tbe government had built over 8PQ miles of railway and had more building. And any government which would not go ahead and develop the province would be recreant to Its duty. Iu conclusion he said that he was not here to discuss matters at length, but to ask the electors to vote for whoever tbey considered could best represent their interests In the assembly. Mr. Hay, of Upper Grand Forks wns then introduced and talked at some length on all kinds of subjects. We have all heard one of Mr. Hay's speeches so it Is unnecessary to give a synopsis of what he said. It was simply a repetition ofthe tirade of Mr. Martin, only a little more drawn out, and a little more abusive. Mr. McKane again took the floor and urged tbe people of (iii; Boundary country to cast politics to the winds and work for j he best interests of the district. There bad been too much coust legislation, Victoria and Vancouver had fought each other too long. They must be made to recognise that we huve here the greatest district in the province, if not In all Canada. Mayor Davis, the chairman, then made a short speech, expressing his pleasure at the success of the meeting. A vote of thanks was then tendered i\\\\y for the mauuer in which he had fulfilled the duties of his position, and thp meeting adjourned. A meeting, was held in Reudelt's, hall at GrpRiiwood.^last Monday evening for the purpose of allowing Mr. McKane to state his position and platform to the elector* of the I Boundary Creek country, and a large num- I ber of the voters were in attendance. I Duncan Ross, editor of the Boundury j Creek Times, Lawyer Black uud a number of | others organized a crowd of rowdies and attempted to break up the meeting and hiss the speakers from the hall; but in this they were not successful, Messrs, McKane aud Nelson winning the attention aud sympathy of the more orderly portion of the audience, aud pouring hot shot into the ranks of the disturbers until they were glad to give lt up as a bad job. It Is safe to say the action of tho parties who (attempted to break up this meeting will do the opposition cause no good and undoubtedly will do harm, but It is by just such manouvers as this that the opposition expects tn achieve success so they are doubtless well satisfied with the result of their actions. After tho disturbing element had quieted down the government candidate and his coworker guve the electors a comprehensive exposition of the government's policy and the Intentions of the candidate if elected.

We sat in our sanctum the other evening- trying vainly to devise some means whereby tho back-biting association could be killed otl', und John Manly and Chas. Hay could be induced to bury the hatchet and work in harmony; tho city council and Contractor Davey settle tbeir differences, etc., etc., when therosuddenlycame to our cars a familiar caterwaul aud as wc turned expectantly around, there burst lu upon us In all the glory of a red necktie, checkered pantaloons and sateen vest, our old friend Tom Twobellies, tlie olllco eat, whom wchad not seen since the flood and hail given up for dead, sup- powlug hiin to have been drowned, as were the nineteen other cats who had becn making their domicile under the printing olllcc floor. "Why, hello, Tom!" weeded in surprise as wc give him the "glad-hand," "thought that you was dead sure." "Noton your ferrotype." he replied proudly. "Catch me monkeying with water!

We have just received from Rossland most authentic information that Jim Martin, the "workingman's friend," the man with the Chinese plank in his platform, EMPLOYS A CHINESE COOK AND LAUNDRYMAN. He recently offered $2 per day for assessment work, and $2.50 for a blacksmith, One of the best and most experienced men in Martin Bros, establishment, at Rossland, receives the munificent renumeratlon of $15 per week, and the reputation of the firm regarding wages is by nc means good. Talking of double- dyed hypocrits! What's the matter with Jim Martin, the workingman's Jonah. lature, which might tend to assist In develop- in? Its mineral resources, advancing its material Interests or improving tlie conditions and lessening the burdens of the miner and prospector. 1 believe that I shall, by adopting this principle, be In a better position to further the Interest Of this Riding, and to advocate measures for Its benefit, than If I had been elected as a strict Government supporter. In fact, iu assuming this position I am carrying out the advice of Premier Turner, who. in his letter to tho electors of Kootenay, adviset* them to send to the Legislature "Good men. who will make 'KOOTENAY' not'PARTY' their first consideration." Being fully convinced that this is the proper cour.se for your representative to pursue, I shall. If elected, frequently consult you with regard to the Legislative or other requirements, of tlio Hiding, so that I may carry out your withes to the fullest extent, untrammelled by strict party ties. It Is impossible for me in Ihe limits of this address to fully outline thc reforms which I will advocate In the Legislature as tending to benefit thc electors of the District. All my interests are here; 1 am the owner of mining property In all parts of the District. It therefore follows that our Interests arc Identical. Borne of the reforms to which I will give my attention are: 1. I peldge myself to work to the best of my ability to secure the local expenditure of public moneys In proportion to the revenue collected In the District, and to Insure sueh expenditure being laid out to Ihe best possible advantage. •l. The mining Interests of liritish Columbia have now reached proportions that it fa desirable they should be administered by a separate department under thc charge of u minister who would devote his undlvded attention to the sub* |eci. I shall use my i-tloi is to have such a Portfolio created, with a Minister of Mines at its head. 3, I shall ulso advocate the removal from the Sta'uc Book.of the discriminatory tax of Five Dollars per annum on mechanics, miners and others employed In our metalliferous mines. 4. Also a change Iti the Mineral Act to compel all partners iu a mining claim to bear their share of the assessment work or forfeit their Interest. Ci. I shall endeavor to rescind the legislation of '06 by whicli mining units were taken out of the Jurisdiction of thc County Court and rele- gatcd to the Supreme Court, thereby entailing Increased costs und great delay. 6. I favortheabotltfonof the so-culled "Mortgage Tax" at the earliest practicable date, having regard to the revenue requirements of the Province. 7. I am in sympathy with the principle enunciated In tho "Truck Act" und shall ever advo cato every other like measure, which may have for Its obiect the amelioration of the condition of the miners, meehanies and workmen of the District, also all measures which will tend to simplify and make less pnerops on prospectors aud locators, the mining laws and regulations. 8. I shnll advocate increased representation for this Riding, keeping prominently before me the great needs of tho lioundary district. It Is now generally conceded tbat the Government led by the Hon. J. II. Turner, will bo returned to power by a majority even larger thau existed heretofore. It Is therefore to the Interest ol the electors, and the progress and development of the Province, that a representative should be sent to the legislature, who is ln touch with that Government. If elected, JI shall endeavor to faithfully and Impartially perform the onerous duties which will necessary be required of tho representative of a District rich In mineral resources, and which requires, more than any other part of thc Province, liberal grants, to aid iu its devclonment. I recommend every elector, more especially the eleetors of thc Boundary country, to read Premier Turner's le ter to the Rossland Convention of Independent Government Supporters, ut which convention I received my nomination, I would thut I could Include It lu thc limits of this address. The facts therein stated ure of vital Interest to every elector. In conclusion I respectfully solicit vour votes and influence. Yours sincerely, JOHN McKANE. Rossland. June 27th, IM)8.

Every property ownep of the city Is earnestly requested to bc presenj, " to one iimn, and thou you get soup half the time. Yes, Rosslands Is more my style. "Didn't sec mc when you was over? 1 saw you, but you wasn't travelling in my class. And, by the way, that's what I came to seo you about. I hear you're out for that fellow, McKane. Now, see here what do you waut to support him for? "Cause he's the best man? "Now, don't you never think It. Martin's the man for the Boundary country. Why, there's one plank in his platform that ought to be enough to elect two or tlxttic men like him." "Whicli one is that?" '•Well, you area lulu. Just take his platform and read plunk five, where he pledges to work for "The Discouragement of Immigration, and Employment of Orientals," "Now. there's a plunk for you. Jim's an old Caribooite himself and can appreciate the terrible agony which it causes a 'squaw man' to have to live ln a country as overcrowded as this section Is, where the towns aro only about ten or twelve mllcsa part, and one can't go a mile In any direction without seuing a man aud sometimes two or three. It Is getting fearful and a man can't get any privacy at nil any more; but Jim, our Liberal Jim, is going to fix things up for usi When bo gets Into the legislature he's going to discourage immigration, and chut the blooming foreigners out of the country. "McKane wouldn't put such a thing In his platform, Not he, What does he care for the poor old timers who aro being crowded out by competition? Nothing! Why, he even has the gall to say that If he is elected he will do everything he cau to open up tbe country and bring peoplo in. Are we going to vote for a man who will do that? Not wllh a Oppositionist! We dou't waut the country overcrowded. "Theu there's that Chinese question. McKane would let the whites do;thc work, while Martin js straight out for the 'employment of Orientals.' That's the way it ought to be. The heathens ain't good for anything else but work, and a white man wasn't never meant to have work anyhow; leastwise It there's Chinese to bo had— and then thc Chinese are cheaper. I say hire all you can of 'em and then there'll \><\ that many )ess whites that will have to work, and that's the way Jim looks at lt too. "Another thing yoa want to look after, that fellow McKane's too awful extravagant. Just think of (ilm hiring a rig, at his owu expense, and coming through the country, when he could just as well as not have bummed a ride oil' of somebody. That's thc way Liberal Jim did. You dou't catch htm westing his good money on rigs, not much! Why, he walked from Greenwood to Greenwood camp to ride hero with thc C. P. R. right of way party—and say, hut didn't he give it to the 0. P. R. In his speeches. McKane wouldn't have the gall to do such a thing. But Liberal Jim's not afraid of them, tic's just the kind to give 'cm fits one night and ride free with Ilium next day. "Oh, we're going to have a regular walk-over and if you kuow what's gopd for you'd better come Iu onto! the wet. Talk of them electing John McKane! Why, they can't even havo a meeting without some of our boys getting iu ami malting such a racket they can't let thc people know what a good thing they are oilor- iim thein. What do wo (Jo it for? i)aug tt all, man, we've got to do it. If wo let thu people lind out onee what tho government has really done fur ihem we wouldn't get a dozen votes in this district; but you can Just bet that wu ain't going to let |ii|ii lind out If bowing 'lubber,' 'thief and 'outraged innoconcc' will do anything toward stopping them. "Well, bo long. I've just got time to catch the Strict & Walker stage for Midway, and I've piomised sure I'd bc ovcr there to-morrow ulght to help Ross aud Hiack and the rest of the gang to break up a government meeting, that some of thc blamed idots are going to get up." Aud ho hurried away, humming to himself: "We'll hang Johu McKane to a Bull Pino Tree," which, we understand, is now thc lptast popular spiigat Qrcenwood. Fpr the Fire Boys.

Celebrated in Fitting Style by Our Yankee Friends at Nelson-, Wash, Tho Fourth of July celebration at Nelson- Wash., was a great success In every particular, the races being of especial Interest and developing some of the most hotly contested and hard fought contests ever put up In this section. Festivities were began on Sunday, the third, by a game of baseball between Grand Forks and Greenwood, played at Nelson, as part of a series for tlieehampionsliipof tno Boundary country, In which thc Grand Forks boys got decidedly { the worst of lt. They weio amply avenged, however, on Mo. day whon the Nelson team wiped the earth with the Greenwoods to the tune of 21 to 7 In live Innings, at the end of which the game was stopped by rain. The massacre, In both instance, was too fearful to dwell upon so no detailed account of either game will be given. Tno horse races wero rather a surprise tn tlm sports, none of the favorites winning and the prizes being carried away by hitherto unknown horses; but for tlie size of the purBes and the condition of the track there was some very creditable races, every rider boing out for blood and every horse doing all their was in hlm. The footraces, sack races, tug of war, etc., were all hotly contested aud caused a great deal of interest and amusement among the spectators. |?A grand open nlr bnll ln the evening ended the sports and oue of tho most exciting and enjoyable celebrations ever bold in this suutlop of the country, "PLAY BALL."

I Mr, Alfred Woodhouse, M. I, M., who has been In England on mining business for some time past, arrived In thc City last Tuesday evening from Rossland and left the next day for Greenwood and other points on the other Bide of the range. During his stay lu the city Mr. Woodhouse was seen by Minkk representative In regard to the feeling lu England as to Investing Iii the mines of this district, aud the prospects of English development of our mining properties, nnd in reply said: "Tiie attention given to British Columbia Is dally increasing and tho Boundary country is recognised as one of the coming centers. The Incoming of railways and smelters will at' tract capital, attor completion, tuitls not English capital's way to takeehances; they deal only on a practical basis, and they will not buy mines iu a nuw country and develop them on the chance of railways coming in. If thoy put tlieir money iu they want lo bo sure of railway mid smelter facilities. "Some prominent English capitalists had becn carrying on negotiations with a. view to attracting the attention of tlie investing public to British Columbia, but this Unfortunate war hns stopped all proceedings and tho coin plications that are likely to arise as tbe outcome of tbc war have anything but a beneficial eil'ecl. "Mining engineors of the highest standing have returned to England confirming the reports of their predecessors, and there is u growing feeling that the western liritish colonial possessions of British. Columbia will, by u judicious outlay of capital, confirm these favorable reports. At the same time it is recognised that owing to the mountaiuous nature of thc country, tbe hardness of the rock and the present lack of transportation facilities tho cost of development will bo very great. "Witli a return of peace and a better under- etandlugbetween European nations it is probable that British Columbia, uud certainly the lioundary country, will receive substantial financial support from the mother country." Mr. Woodhouse Is making a flying trip through thu Boundary country and will, In all probabilty, shortly return to England, where he has been doing good work in advertising the mineral resources of British Columbia Victoria Strikes It.

Washington, July 2.—This has been a day of almost unparalleled suspense and anxiety. From President McKinley down. all through official Washington, evory- I body has heen under a tremendous strain. 1 Just at the close of the day the first bit of information coming directly to of* | lleials reached the president and Secretary Alger. It was a private dispatch, not pii- j inarily intended for them, although it came through official channels. Briefly land expressively it told the story of a day of terrific fighting. It was direct from the 1 field of action, as late as 4 p. m. It stated | that the engagement had been In progress throughout the day; that the dead and wounded were being carried to the rear, and that the American losses were heavy. Xo ('hunfre of Generals. During the afternoon a sensational rumor gained currency that radical changes in the plans for the occupation of Cuba were likely to be adopted by President McKlnley. It can be said upon the highest authority, however, that nothing of the kind is in contemplation. Secretary Alger Informed lho Associated Press emphatically that absolutely no change was to be made in the Cuban plans, or was even in contemplation.

Cheney is not famous for fish stories, but here is one related by 11. 11. Hubbard I-ast Friday he, iu company with Clarence .Martin, F, 1- .Fellows and others, tried a novel method of catching lish in a small pond near Tyler. The outlet had dried up, leaving a great many pickerel entrapped in tlie pond, which was on acre or two in extent ami perhaps three feet deep at the deepest point. They were poling a small ittft along. The water being muddy, the lish were unable to see, ond in endeavoring to escape from the noise made hy the raft would jump out of tlie water, light on the raft and become an easy prey to the fishermen, in this manner one hundred or more pickerel about a foot in length were caught in a few moments. Thc object of State Fish Commissioner Little's visit to Dayton was to look up the feasibility of establishing a fish hatchery in Columbia County, probably on the up* per Tukanon. On the lower Columbia it has been found difficult to bundle the early run of Chinook salmon, and it :s thought much could be gained by the establishment of a hatchery near the natural hatching grounds. It is now tlie practice to get thc fish into pond nets ond hold them until ripe for spown. Althougli fairly successful, uiis plon is not sotisfac fcory. A hatchery is needed at the natural spawning grounds, and if a sufficient number of lish can be obtained a hatchery- will be established on the Tukanon this season. The cost of sueli an enterprise will be between five and six thousand dollars. Quite a force of men will be em ployed, twelve men being required to handle 1,200,000 spawn. The almost nude body of a young man was found in the loft of a small barn in thc eastern part of Spokane lost Wednesday. It wos in un advanced stage of decomposition.
