Tenth Year DUNSMUIR SUPPORTED The Premier Will Meet the New Legislature on the 5th With a Substantial Majority at His Back. Members Elected in Opposition to Martin are Practically Unanimous in Endorsing Premier's Views. in all the are to be ,1 nines (SPBOIA-g TO THO MINOR.) Vancouver, B.

The Members, eleoted in opposition to Martinism, hnd with practical nnnuini- ity, undertaken to support Premier Dnninnir and bis Governmentjmalready formed, nnd as be Will tomorrow complete it, through the approaching session. It was agreed upon thnt only nou-contentious legislation shall be taken up, and that, prior to prorogation, reconstruction of the G .vernmeut. shall he tnkeu in hand, this possibly involving tbe retiremtnt of Mr. Turner, if not all three of the Ministers now direotmg the country's affairs. As Hon. Mr. Dunsmuir has distinctly stated that his sole reason for accepting the office was to avert further political complications nnd bring the business of the countiy back to a business basis, this settlement of present differences meets his views thoroughly aud completely. His not Improbable, according to a few of tbe new Premier's most devoted friends, that, before ihe time for the promised reconstruction arrives, be will have prepared for submission to the Government party such a policy as will commend itself to fhem, and on which tbey will hnve no hesitation in giving him further support. The temporary arrangement, sanctioned for the purpose of restoring political harmony and permitting tbe rou tine of the Government with necessary private and non-oontenlious publio legislation to proceed, has the cordial support of twenty-live members in the House, exclusive of Mr. Booth, wbo will once more occupy the Speaker's chair. In the list nro inolnried Mr. Clifford of Oassiar, on the strength of his nn- mistakeable pledges.

A Small Fire ln the Phair Annex Last Night. A small lire under the fired floor of the Phair Annex last night caused mnch excitement, bnt beyond a hole chopped in the floor and several oar- pets slightly damaged by water, no serlons damage wub done. About half- past nine Mr. and Mrs . T. J.Leudrum, who ocoupied room 411, noticed un odor of smoke in the room and summoned the bellboy, who after a few moments examination, assured them there was no Are in the building. About an hour later, however, Mrs. Lendrum, wbo had retired, notioed thnt the room was fall of smoke, whioh was pouring out a register in the coruer of the next room, which waB I by them as a sitting room. She gave tbe alarm und calmly began getting their effeclB together for removal. As soon as the niacin was given Manager Phair notified Ihe Fire Department, who responded promptly, Iu the meantime Huny Houston hnd chopped a hole iu the floor and assisted by several others wns throwing water on the Homes. Ab soon i-e tbe Department arrived oue line ot hose was run under the building nnd several of the firemen crept underneath and threw a stream from thnt direction, while another line was curried in the house and a stream thrown through the hole in the floor. Iu a short time the lire was extinguished. Upon examination no cause of the lire could be assigned for it was found that the blaze had started under the flooring where it would be impossible for anyone to throw any conbustible material, the space between the ground and building being completely closed up. There is a furnace under the annex but there has been no lire there for several weeks. Manager Phair is therefore at alossto know bow thefire started and attributes it to the "great unknown." He was unable to estimate the loss, which, however, is slight and confined to one room, an hour after the fire started the excitement was over, the guests moved to other rooms and the Phair bad resumed its accustomed air of homelike quiet. The Fire Company is to be congratulated upon their prompt response aud the energetic, workmanlike manner in which they put out the fire.

"The forces apparently arrived in time, for the Chinese assert that the attack upon the Legations had been successfully renewed. On the night of Juno 16, Ihe Chinese troops, under Gtnernls Tung Fu Siiing and Tung Chiug, attacked the legations aud set ou fire five European buildings. Nothing di Unite is known as tu the result, except that Ihe Chinese were disappointed, although other reports, utterly discredited by foreigners here, are that the Chinese, infuriated by the destruction of Taku. have since niassa- ored all the foreigners in Pekin." A modified version of thesi rumor , received at Borlin, is that the French as well us the Germau Minister has been killed. The English nt Shanghai, think the Chinese have had foreign advice in organizing the defencos at Taku. because of the precision v/ith which their attack was delivered.

As a result of the trouble created by the action of the men engaged by the oity in taking ���ut rock at Josephine and Victoria Streets It Is more than probable that the present week will sec a discontinuance of all the work for some time at least. The Aldermen are not disposed to take kindly to the petition, or demand, as some of them term it, of the Nelson Laborers' Protective Union which was presented to the Council ou Monday night and it is highly improbable that action favorable to the Union will be taken at the conference which will probably be held on Friday afternoon. They are not only opposed to an increase in the wages but they object also to being handed the wages of the "American Federation of Labor'' with what almost amounts to a demand that it be adopted. "The result of the trouble," said Acting Mayor Irvine yesterday, "will probably be the discontinuance of the work. It will be the easiest way t" put an end lo all this trouble and controversy. If the men do not want work badly enough to slay where they arc and accept the wages they are being paid without any complaint tbey eann.ii be very badly oil' and can probably afford to remain Idle for a few months." The petition presented to the Council was not what it appeared on the face of it lo be. It was signed by contract as of the city and was meant us un assurance on their part that if they ever had occasion to take out rock tbey would be willing to pay the 18,25 and (3,00 scale. One signature for Instance wns that of Charles Hillyer. Mr. Hillyer proi-uhh bus uo more idea of even taking out any rook than has Joe Downs. But if he docs take any out he will pay the scale asked for aud this Is given as a reason why the city should grant the demand made and there are others wbo signed the petition who arc in the same boat, as Mr. Hillyer.

Winnipeg, June 111 ���A delegation composed of over lOo hotel and business men of the oity uud province, was present at thu law amendment committee of tbe Legislature today, to protest against the prohibition bill. The delegation was introduced by Ijiwyer Pliippen. who appeared un behalf of the Licensed Vicinallien' Association aud made a vigorous appeal against the prohibition law uliout to be enforced.

I have learned much about other countries, such as Russia, China, Spain,etc., but my appreciation of Canada ia much greater than fur those other countries, Our people hsve gone to Russia, China, Austria and Spain and huve taken much capital with them. They huve established large factories, all of which are bringing in au Immense income. The same result conld be had in this country and probably to a great or extent.

It regrettable that capital has already called a halt so far as this town and district are concerned. Three large buildings which were going up immediately have been abandoned indefinitely, the loan companies arc refusing bus'.ness right and left, bankers are openly expressing their distrust of the situation and a desire to draw in their horns, and unless the business men of the community pretty soon realise the true meaning of the situation it will be too late. The time has come to sell for cash and cash alone. It is better to do so of one's own free will to save the situation to begin with, than to be compelled to adopt such tactics later on through stress of circumstances and on account of the credit of the district having been entirely ruined financially." At the Council meeting on Monday night the Laborers' Protective Union askedthat the rockdrillersemployed by the City be paid $3.25 for a day of eight hours. Also certain bylaws to raise money for civic improvements were read a first and second time, preliminary to their submission to the vote of the ratepayers. These are two matters that will be considered jointly by many citizens who take an interest in what is going on. First, if the members of it will be gracious enough to permit us, we would compliment the Union on the regular and orderly manner in which it is proceeding to obtain its wishes. No one will quarrel with it for going to the Council to ask for long pay for a short day; if it can get them it will deserve to be congratulated on its success. Another observation that occurs is that the name of the Union does not strike others as being exactly appropriate. Why Protective? Who or what is threatening it, that it becomes necessary to organise for protection? If there is any protection required in the case, it is on the side of others. With these as a preface, The Miner will proceed shortly to say that it has been so unfortunate as to incur the severe displeasure of many members of the Unions. This has occurred, because in the exercise of its judgment, it has thought it right and just to take a stand on a certain issue with which the members do not agree. It will probably aggravate their displeasure to know that it does not believe the request of this Protective Union is a right and just one, and that it will oppose it with all its nvght. It regrets to have to incur any one's displeasure, but it is ready to incur the displeasure of every man and woman and child in Nelson rather than dish over its conscientious convictions. One of its conscientious convictions is that there is nothing under the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth to justify the demand of those rockdrillers for a wage of $3.25 for eight hours' work, They are probably just in from the railways,where they were glad to accept $2.50 for ten hours' work, 01 if they are not there others just as good who were. They would never dream of asking this 61 1-2 per cent increase on the regular wage if this City had nol just elected an agitator' and demagogue, in the person of Mr. Houston, to the Provincial Legislature. Because that election was largely due to the labor vote, the members of the Unions think they have the City by the throat and can exact anything they choose to demand. But they cannot. They will not get what was asked at the last Council meeting, and if they did the ratepayers of Nelson would vote down those money bylaws and put a stop to every improvement going on in the City. There is a limit to all things, even to the patience of a very good-natured, easy-going populace like the citizens of Nelson. The labor agitation here is causing infinite havoc. On this point we quote from a letter sent to The Miner ��� few days ago piatter of the drillers first came up; Or. Hall's suggestion that the membership of the Council be increased, is a very sensible one. If not taken np now, it must be in a very short time. The town is growing fast, and today its population probably exceeds six thousand. Even the growth [of its population is exceeded by that of its business affairs generally. These are transacted in large part by committees, and a committee should have at least three members. Six Aldermen can scarcely be expected to cope with the present body of municipal work, and in a short time it will get beyond their power. If the present Council shall decide to cut the town into three wards and give three Aldermen to each, we believe their action would meet with the approval of a large majority of the citizens, N6W GOOflS!
