War may Break out at any Moment. Lord Salisbury hus arrived in London from his vocation on the continent. There ure uneasy rumors at the clubs thut a.uoug tho dispatches in the big bu-;, which was awaiting Lord Salisbury's arrival, were telegrams from the British minister at Rome, indicating thai the visit of M. DeGiers, tho Russiuu foreign minister, bad un uufrieudlv termination, contrary to the newspaper reports, which represent Has a cordial oouferenoo, It is rumored that M. DeGiers conveyed to King Humbert the information .that the Czar wished to warn him that it was not to the interest of Italy lo remain in th..- Dreibnud To this iutiina tion, though couched iu the politest of diplomatic language, King Hum bert is reported to havo cut.-rod un immediate und strong protest, ami so abrupt was his speech aud manner that lhe inten iew was ut once ended, having lasted less tlmu hull un hour. It is pretty sale to state that Lor.' Salisbury did not cut his vacation Bhortsitnplj on aocunutof the death of William Henry Smith; tk-ro may be something in tho report going the rounds that he hud a prior knowledge of what would be tlio outcome of tho Ituliun-l'iiBsiun oouferenoo, and to bo ut home and prepared to uet iu case affairs took alarming turns, If tho interview between M. DeGiers and thu King was of the nature described, it would sci-m that Italy would soon Lave need of nil ibe moral support it in believed I'.ng- laud, some time ago, offered in lieu of a formal adhesion to the Dl'oi- bund. No one anticipates that Lord Salisbury will ovi-n consider serious ly tho evacuation of Egypt, and tho question of the Dardanelles is uot supposed to be dangerous, It is another matter as to tho Pamir un as to Russian encroachments on the Afghan frontier, It is true, ns reported, that Capt. Tounghusband has been killed by tho Russians while attempting to explore the Piunir. Lord Salisbury, it is expected, will take nieiu measures to restrain the bolduoss of lbe Rue sinus, * Indian Troubles in the Kootenai District, Brig, Gin.

Ifonoplitsky was horn al Kazan in lrfol. He had boen n printer, afterwards u soldier, and then had gone into a lawyer's office, This lawyer established a democratic newspaper, the name of which whon translated means "The Will of lhe Poople," ami Konoplitsky wus one of the compositors. This publication could [scarcely ho called Nihilistic, although it wus domoorutio in ils views. Ils suppression was at lust ordorod by the Government, and oue day everyone oonnooted with it, 79 in all, were arrested and held for trial. Tiie editor, two reporters nnd iho foreman were beheaded, The others were obliged to walk to Alou- oow, a journey of ten day, where some oi them wero sentenced to exile for life, but the majority for fifteen years. After two years in Russian prisons they wore taken by steamer aud train to Tobolsk, aud Item there a party of 000 exiles, men uud women, were marched overlaud across tho wilds ol Sihtriu to Krasuuyarsk, a place ubout li.O mi.es from the mouth of the Y: uesei, Here tiu-y were condemned to work in tue iniues. Si.v years of untold suffering tollowod. Fourteen ot them were shackled together, working fur b low ground in uiwost lolai uarkiiess. They all slept in a room about (j fuel Oj U, on uuiu plu.iko, wiih one 1'UlsOii ii little for a pillow. They got bul one meal u day, and ti.a.. consisted of black broad und water, hut on Sau- dttjr. tne;. were, alio .v d a small portion of canned beet, ,' linost us many Cossacks as prisoners stood guar 1 ut the pit's month, absolutely barring auy cliiu.ee of escape. Any complaints wero punished most rigorously, ami ou ouo occasion Kouu- pliisky was stripped with tbe exception of a belt urouud his waist, uud shaokled to a rook exposed to tho cruel Siberian climate for twout.v- four hours, uud all for staling to tho overseer thut he Was uot comfortable. At last the hour of oscupo ariived. With a stone he managed to remove tho uuklets, He secured u passport from a l'ullow p/isuuer, who had kept it by lum ull theoo years, uud uftor weeks ol suffering ho reached Vladivostok, whore tue passport Would huvo to bo examined. The refugee almost oori'esponded with the description given, but Kouoplitsky had cu his arm a tattoo mark of Christ bearing tho cross, while ihe passport particularly pointed out that there Wore no tattoo murks upon thu p. r- sou to whom the passport wus givon, The cuse wus a desperate one, and repaired a desperate remedy. With au ordinary clasp knife he sliced the ph.co off his arm, aud the wound is not yet honied. At VladivoBtoek he worked his passage on a Japanese steamer to Nagasaki, a trip of seveu days, i'or Ion; iluys he rcmuiiied lu Nagasaki, and then went to Yokohama, where ho remained 10 days, the greater part of which was spent iu hospital, Upon the Kiuprcss of Iudia leaving he hid himself iu ono of the lifeboats and did nnt disoover himself until they wero out of sight of land. The orow extended their sympathy to him in every way, and he was uot required to work his passage, us most BtowawuyB huvo to do. They also supplied him with clothes aud money aud forwarded him to San I'liiuciseo, where ho bus friends. ���[From the improbabilities of the above Btory wo should not bo surprised if it turned out to be a tako.��� Ed.

THE BURNING QUESTION Under this heading the Golden Era a short time ago devoted nearly three of its columns to the importance of bestirring ourselves on behalf of one of our unlive products���British Columbia lend. After alluding to the vast deposits of this oro to be found iu our mountains, nnd the erection of smelters at Iievelstoke and Golden for treating the same, the Era goes on to speak of tht- difficulty of getting a market, either homo or foreign, the home market being praotioallj nil, as the consumption of load in Canada amounts to less thai, 5,000 tons a year, while the possible oul [..it of this province alono would roach to a hundred times that figure if tho mining of lead ore were a profitable undertaking. Referring to tbo United States as .. market for B.U. lead, the Era thinks it would bo of great benefit to American smelters to use our ore as flux with their richer ores. But simultaneously with tbe Era's editorial the following paragraph appeared in the western PresB, from which it would seem that the grounds upou which the Era bad built its argument Lave already been undermined, aud that the use of lead as flux is a thing of the past: " The new smelting process at Toston, Montana, has been watched ���with considerable interest by mining men. It is thut uf smeltiug pyritic ores, where iron pyrites are used as II nx ins. cad of lead ores. Experiments buve demonstrated tbe success of the new method, and it is claimed that tbe expense of reducing ores viill not exceed $2 per ton. It is cluimed that only 100 lbs. of eoke i- required to reduce one ton of ore ; or, in other words, one ton of ooke will smelt 20 tons of ore. It is also claimed that the Dew pr cess will, iu a prat measure, do away with cou Centra ting, ores carrying a small percentage of molul being easily treated. A new smelter was recently sturh tl bt Deudwootl, o.Vd In minutes after the blast wus turned' ou molten ore rn oiprooity lu lend with the United Stii.es ; and thirdly . as au alternative j io the latter, a bonus upon tho production of Canadian lca.l," | The first of these wo already enjoy, | There is a duty of ��12 per ton on imported loud, And we ilo not, thinit it would be a very difficult tnsk to persuade the Government to treble this duly. But what then ? How much benefit would aoorue to Uritish Columbia mining ? Supposing our mines supplied the whole of tho lend used iu the Dominion, although wo must net forget that there are other jend producing districts in Canada, The live thousand tons of home consumption would scarcely benefit our particular provinoe more than the emptying a pail of water into the Columbia river just now would bring its waters up lo their normal level. Htill, it might be tr:w|���not i.Ua pail of water, but the increased duly. The second recourse, reciprocity in lead and load ores, we shall nover obtain from the Unit-d Slates, for the Government at Washington has repeatedly stated that thoy will uot listep to any reciprocity proposals concerning raw material alone. Such proposals must include manufactured goods of all kiuds, or else thoy will not be discussed- not even looked at, " Firstly, a protective import duty . the company are prepared lu place against English |ead ; ���wonnrlly, re | t|,*g nrc..<s.���.v ,,-uut m.xt BUmmar, and if the government succeeds in getling reciprocity with the United Stules in lead we can depend ou realizing Hie long looked for boom inside of two years; otherwise some other market must be hnnd. We cannot help thinking, Mr. Editor, thut the Staii. us tbe representative of ihe miners of West Kootenny, und more particularly Ihis part of the district, should give this important mutter moro attention, for while it concerns the provinoe at large, and for that mutter the whole Dominion, it concerns thie immediate locality perhaps moro than any other in the provinoe, becuusi* all our ores curry a largo peroeutage of leud. Not bo somo of the other camps, as we understood there bus been a considerable amount shipped iuto the United States duty free from tho laann, ti'ioienay. Tlio trail down Pish Rivor to the arm of Upper Arrow Lake is pro- gressin��t well. It is now dowu ab'Uit 1-1 uiilos, nud us the season is well advanced ihe chances ure it will not be completed tbis fall; but no doubt work will be re-started next spriug as early as the wtuthcr permits. This trail opens out a fine country right in tlie centre of the mineral belt, and it will probably be the means of numerous valuable claims being discovered. Anyhow, il is an important link in a through trail from North to South Kootenay, and when the connection between tbe east and west end of Trout Luke iB completed miners and others oan briug in supplies with pack animals, thus giving prospectors a chanco to explore a large expanse of country that is yet comparatively unknown. It is conceded by even its opponents that the present is tbo most liberal and progressive government that ever guided the affairs of British Columbia. This fact, united with the able efforts of our worthy representative, Mr. Kellie, has done, and is doing, a great deal more towards opouing up our district than most of ub have conceived. West Kootenny is destined to rank second to none as a wealth producing distriot inside ot a very few years. It should be remembered that money expended upon trails and rouls now will not be required for the samo purpose again; uud, o::cb opened up, our dirftri 't will support itself and turn a handsome revenue into the Treasury be- James McDonald & Co.

MAIN STREET, REVELSTOKE B.C. As for the Era's third alternative, it would simply be a ease of " robbing Peter to pay Paul." Thoro aro other markets than Euglaud and the United States, which are botli lead producers. Bnt whilo froight rates are so prohibitive es at present there will be little use iu seoking ont new markets. But as Rritish Columbia lead is reposing in its virgin bed, aud litlle (if auy) effort made to bring it before the world, we think the following from tho inland Sentinel, iu an article ou this same subject, just fills the bill:" "But this entire discussion and the clamorous appeals for interference at Ottawa and Washington are altogether ahead of time.

The company propose to br)iif> tbe water iuto tho towu by means of a large main passing under the C. P. R. track at the foot of the mountain to the north of and just behind tbe school house. Ths pipe would traverse the whole length of Maiu street, with hydrants at short intervals. Property owners to connect with the main pipe at tbeir own expense . The company wants a guaranteed payment of 8160 a mouth in return for their outlay. This, in our opinion, is uo ut all exorbitant, nnd us the supply of water for tiro pin poses will, us soou as the hydrants are in position, lower the insurance rates, wo trust tbat the hnnoeholderB cf Revelstuke will at once close with the offer of tbe company and raise the acquired amount.

THE BURNING QUESTION Under this heading the Golden Era U short time ago devoted nearly three of its columns to tbe importance of .bestirring ourselves on behalf of one of onr ualivo products���Uritish Columbia lead. After alluding to the vast deposits of tin's ore to be found in our mountains, an.4 the erection of smelters at Revelstoke and Golden for treating the same, the Era goes on to speak of the difficulty of getting a market, either home or foreign, the homo market being practically nil, as the consumption of le.ul in Canada amounts to less thin, 5,000 tons u year, while the possible output of this province alone would roach to a hundred times that figure if the mining of lead oro were a profitable undertaking. Referring to tho United States ns a market for B.C. load, the Era thinks il would be of great benefit to American smelters to use our ore as flux with their richer ores, But simultaneously with the Era's editorial the followiug paragraph appeared in the western Press, from which it would seem that the grounds npou which tho Era had built its argument have already beon undermined, nud that the use of lead as flux is a thing of the past: " The new smelting process at ToBton, Montana, has been watched with considerable interest by mining men. It is that uf Biueltiug pyritic Ores, where iron pyrites are used as flux ins,cad of lend ores. Experiments huve dctnouslratei) the success of the new method, and it is claimed that the expense of reducing ores will not exceed $2 per ton. It is olaimid that mil-. 100 lbs. of coke i- requited to reduce one ton of ore; or, in other worls, one ton of ooke will smelt 20 tons of ore. It is also claimed that lhe new pr cess will, in o(.'.-at measure, do away with cou beu'lrutiug, ores carrying n smull percentage of mclul being easily treated. A n'e'w smelter was recently starti d at Di*udw��oii, and Iii minutes after the blust was turned' ou molten ore began flowing itt Ihu rate of 150 tons Tho flrot of these wo already enjoy, There is a duty of ��12 per ton on imported lead. And wo do not thinK it would be a very difficult task to persuade tho Government to treble this duty. But what then ? How ! much benefit would accrue to British Columbia mining '? Supposing our mines supplied the whole of Iho lead used in the Dominion, although wo must nyt forget that there are other Jend producing districts in Canada. The fivo tholisand tons of home eon- sumption would scarcely benefit our particular province moro than the emptying a pail of water into the Columbia river just now would bring its waters up to their normal level. Still, it might be triec*��� not tUc poll of water, but the increased duty. The second recourse, reciprocity in lend and lead oros, we shall nover obtain from the United States, for tho Government at Washington has repeatedly stated that thoy will not listen to auy reciprocity proposals concerning raw material alone. Such proposals must include manufactured goods of all kiuds, or elso they will not be discussed- not even looked at, As for tho Era's third alternative, it would simply be a ease of " robbing Peter to pay Paul." Thoro aro other markets than Englaud and the United States, which aro both lend producers. But while freight rates are bo prohibitive es at present there will be iittle use in seeking out now markets. But as Rritish Columbia lead is reposing in its virgin bed, and little (if auy) effort made to bring it before the world, we thiuk the following from the Inland Sentinel, in an artiole on this same subject, just fills the bill:" the company are prepared to place i Ihis nec'-ssury pluut next summer, and if the e-overnmont succeeds in pteHinp- reciprocity with the United Htu'es iu lead we can depend on realizing Hie long looked for boom inside of two years; otherwise some other market must be hnud. We cannot help thinking, Mr. E.iitor, that the Stab, us tbe representative of ��� the miners of West Kootenay, und more particularly this part, of the district, should give this important matter more attention, for while it oonoerus the province at large, and for that mutter the whole Dominion, it concerns thia immediate locality perhaps moro than any other in the province, because all our ores carry a large percentage of lead. Not so somo of the other camps, as we understand there has been a considerable amount shipped iuto the United States duty free from tho lonur ��"oienay. Tho trail down Fish River to tbe arm of Upper Arrow Lake is progressing well, It is uow dowu about M inilus, aud as the seasou is well advauced flie chuueos are it will not be completed this fall; but no doubt work will be re-started next spriug as early as the weather permits. This trail opens out a tine country right in the centro of tho mineral belt, and it will probably lie the means of numerous valuable claims being discovered. Anyhow, il is an important link in a through trail from North to South Kootenay, and when tho connection between tho east and west ene; of Trout Lake is completed miners and others can bring in supplies with pack animals, thus giving prospectors a chance to explore a large expanse of oountry that is yet comparatively unknown. It is conceded by even its opponents that tbe present is the most liberal and progressive government that ever guided the affairs of British Columbia. This fact, uuited with the able efforts of our worthy repre- I sontative, Mr. Kellie, has done, and is doing, a great deal more towards opening up our district than most of James MoDonald & Co.

The company propose to bring tbe water iuto the towu bj means of a large main passing under the C. P. It. track at the toot of the mountain to tbe north of and just behind tbe sohool house. The pipe would traverse the whole length of Maiu street, with hydrants at short intervals, Property owners to connect with the maiu pipe at their owu expense. The company wants a guaranteed payment of ��160 a mouth in return for tbeir outlay. This, in our opiuion, is no- at all exorbitant, and as the supply of water for tiro purpoues will, in, noon as the hydrautB are in position, lower the insurance rates, wa trust tbat the hnnsehohlors of Itevelstuke will at once close with the offer of tbe company and raise the acquired amount. The source of supply is a never failing one, and the water of the finest quality. The gentlemen present at the meeting were:-Messrs, W, M, Brown (in the chair) ,W. Cowau, J. W. Thompson, J.

Tho directors of the Cunard Company havo ordered a steamer ot 12,000 tons to be built on the Clyde for tbo Liverpool and Now York traffic. Tbe vessel is lo be capable of maintaining an ocean speed of from 21 to 22 knots an hour.

These, together with tho iiuuiiiers who had como from London and elsewhere, thou a-compunioii the holy of tho patriot On lis lust nuy..go uncass St, George's Channel, lhc steamer being densely packed. When Dublin was reached tbe coffin was borno on tbo shouMi-rs of six stalwart young Irishmen to St. Michael's Church, whero the service was read by lhe rector, Tbe coffin was then carried to the City Hull and placed upon a magnificent catafalque just at tho foot ol O'Connoll's Bfatue, where lor threo hours a stream of sobbing men and women flowd by, it beiug estimated that 15,000 per- passed through the hall in that short period. Al six o'clock, just at dusk, tho body of the great loader was lowered to ils final resting place at Clas Kevin amid tbe wailing of the warm-hearted Celts who were literally packed in tbo cemetery, and tbe sceno in tho gloaming was quke weird and spectral. Tho fact that tbeir own clergy had frowned upon their leader, in death us in life, had no effect upon the devotion of th6 poople to thoir political idol,for, although the deceased leader was a Pro. lostant and buried according to the rites of the Protestant Ct.urch, tho great majority of tho vast throng mound the open grave was made up ol Roman Catholics. Canon Doyle, the first priest who denounced Parnell and who has iissi-ted tho :;:i|i-Parnelliles in all .heir recent elections, pub- li bes in the Wexford newspapers e letter which bids fair to set all Ireland by the ears.

Smith, London, and tbo following replies resulted: When the'population ceases to multiply and the generations tbat crowd on after you, and novor beard of, stop coming on. When you havo convinced everybody whose life will touch yours Unit you havo hotter goods and lower prices than they can ever got any where clso. When yell perceive it to be the rulo that mon who nover adver- liso are outstripping their neighbors In the same lino of business. When mon stop making fortunes right in your sight solely lb rough tbo discreot use of this mighty agont.
