Up to Friday ho had ridden 14 consecutive losers.

When the commission adjourned some mouths ago it was because it hud reached au apparently insurmountable obstacle in the shape of tho Alaskan boundary question. Aftor the adjournment the two governments took up this particular question with the view of settling and thus romoviu,; it from the path of the many other important issues involved. There wero numerous delays owing to the Deed of exchanging views between London, Washington and Ottawa and the authorities becamo convinced that ���an adjustment was hopeless.

The papers scout the magnetic current theory.Vanity Fair says: "The Paris cnrtaiuly did not know where she was. Oue single company has sont ships past the Manacles twice a week each way for many years. If the current sucks on the rocks that are magnetic enough to alter the compass why have these ships escaped so of ten." Other papers have oxpressed themselves in a similar strain. Captain Varnoy, formerly commander of the British warship Oherom writes that ho spent a winter steaming at full speed up aud down the channel to test A boiler, and most positively ns- ssorts that with attention, a good lookout, and sounding, the navigation channel is froo from danger. A rop resontative of the Associated Press interviewed the authorities of Trinity House on the subject, and Chief Pilotage Clork Koigain characterized the magnetic thoorv, us "utter nonsense " He Baid tho disaster must havo boon caused by "Inexplicable blundering," adding, "I know every yard of the British coast liuo, aud I cnu see no satisfactory reason for the wreck." Captain Creak, head of thn compass department said: "Howovor closo a ship got to the Manacles her com misses would not he affected raoro than the millionth part of a degree and even that could not be felt outside of 300 yards from the shore No ship's course ought to be nearer than two miles from that coast."

London was inor nnd when Sir Julian Pauncefotereached London on his way to The Hague he held conferences with Lord Salisbury which resulted m a definite proposal for setlling the boundary issues, aud reomviug it as au obstacle of tho commission. The mam point of this proposal was that a separate tribunal of arbitration should pass on the boundary ques tion It was communicated to Ambassador Ohoate and hy him to tho Stato Depacrmeut, When tho plan was received the president was absent at Hot Springs, Virginia and it wns folt desirable to await bis return before giving a trial answer. Thorn was little or no doubt that the answer would havo been favorable Just as the aooeptanoe was about to have been given the officials here were surprised to have oresented what they regarded as an extraordinary condition, which Canada imposed in connection with tho submission of the question of arbitration. This condition was that Canada should have Pyramid Harbour and a strip of territory on thn Lynn Canal without refereno! to the goners! conclusions reached by tho tribunal of arbitration. This port and strip of territory on the coast would have carried also the back country leading to tho interior. This condition, coming after the arbitratra- tion plan had been formally postponed and /mis about to be accepted, caused not only surprise bnt some indignation among the officials hero, tfc was decided not to accept this condition and a peremptory refusal was given to the proposition. Tims the matter stands. There is every reason to believe that, theio will be no yielding of the officials hern to Canada's condition If it is withdrawn tho arbitration may be arranged as a means of settling tho boundary. The opinion in the highest quarters seems io be positive that without some adjustment of the boundary matter Iho resumption of tho work of the joint commission on the many other tonics considered is entirely improbable. .

Lake steameiS at Fort William will connect with the "Imperial Limited." of the case are rather shrouded in mystery, for the man was lightheaded wbeu on tlio train, and though ho spoke fairly rationally to tho doctors it wns difficult to get n connected Statement from him. His story briefly was that ho was a miner from Rossland and had gone to Silverton on the 24th to compete iu the drilling coutest, but that he was not allowed to enter for the contest as be was too good���it may be said hero that nobody who went to Silverton scorns to have hoard of anyone being barred. He took a large sum of money with him, over $400, some of which was his partner's and bad boon given him to hot with. From what he siid his speculations wero successful. What ho did on the 85th and 2(ith is not known but yesterday bo wns waylaid oy four or five inon who demanded his money. He refused and ono of them tried to stab him with a knife He put up his ami to ward off Iho blow and received an ugly gash about six inches in length. The cut runs from just below the bend of the elbow round under the arm. Almost, imuieditcly nftor another man made another slasb at his stomach, He jumped back, but the two pairs of trousers lie wan wearing wore cut through as wore his under clothes. though fortunately tho kcifo did not penetrate further. Tho doctor is of opinion that only thn fact that be was wearing two pairs of trousers saved his life. The oihci wound was aslo a narrow- escape, for with another half an inch the brachial artery would havo been severed and tho man would havo bled to death in five minutes. As it was it is a wonder bo did not bleed ro death. These two blows given, someone hit him on tlio bead with a club or a brick and ho remembers no more. He was found about 11 a, m., yester- dasy in the round-house at Slocan City by sonic of tho railway men and brought, to Nelson by tho train, after his wound had been hastily bandaged. Ho was thou tnkon to Kootenay Lako General Hospital where Drs, Hull and Arthur attended him, He refused at first to take chloroform, but before the operation was completed the doctors insisted. So far bis namo is not known, when asked at the Hospital he refused it Later be said "Put me down as Mike Smith; no, Franklin Smith." But that evidently is not his right namo. Ho is n powerfully built man about medium height, with dark curly hair, heavy brown moustaohe and rather aquiline features.

LEGACIES FROM THE EX-MAYOR. The gentleman who was defeated for the Mayoralty at the lust election bus never been able to cultivate tho least affection for tho preseut Oounoll. Indeed, his defeat has had the effeot of driving him to the opposite extreme, and never sineo has he allow - ed an opportunity to puss to niis.cpro- sent tboir action or to impugn their motive. Jealousy, too, lias been surging up and down the empty spaces of his moral anatomy, and rathor than seo a good thing emanate from them be would prefer any number of bad things afflict the Oity. He has been laboring hard to defeat tho proposed money by-laws, not because he believed them wrong in themselves, but because he has a suspicion their defeat would be a c'isappointnieut to the Council. Aud in this labor be has literally bubbled over with misrepresentations. He says, to give an example of them, that it is proposed to pay out of the electric light debentures $1, 00 for "mud flats" that are not worth �� 100, aud insinuates rather than asserts that 00 por cent, of nn exorbitant claim will bo paid for land appropriated for tlio reservoir. Both statements aro untrue. Tho Council have agreed to no such sums, and insist on arbitration should the parties not consent to a price that will come within the bounds of reason. But why should there bo any grounds of dispute over these matters at this late day: If the gentleman in question had been half as diligent in discharging his duty while Mayor as be demands of the present Council, these tail ends of old transactions wuuld not be able to present themselves, 11} was importuned tune and again to come to a settlement over the reservoir lots, and at a time when they could be purchased for a song, but be pursued a policy of procrastination and .nothing was done. He says tho "mud flats" could not have been sold for ��100 when the electric light dam was built. Why did be not buy them at that figure' Tbo fact is he completed nothing ho undertook, excepting the sale of the plant to the City, and if thore are disputes and trouble over the reservoir lots and "mud fiats" now, they are two of the many legacies left by the former Mayor. Ho knows more than engineering, more than the miner about mining, more than the preacher about preaching, more than the teacher about teaching, more than the lawyer about law, more than the doctor about physic, more than tho railway man, the steamboat man, the wholesaler, the tailor, the shoemaker, and on and cm through the whole list of them, than each and all know of their own business. The only thing ho does not know is how to run a newspaper, but he has been so engaged all his life in learning more of other people's business than they j know themselves that ho was compelled to neglect his own. He says the Engineer does not know what lie is talking about. The electors will be wise if they put their faith in the Engineer, aud tomorow will lend their credit to raise money enough to make tho town safe against n water famine. The man who knows it all is often au unreliable guide. Buying- WALL PAPER Right! ! THOMSON'S THE WALL PAPER ket.

The Rossland Record remarks: "We are unable to see the undue advantage The Nelson Miu-jr claims was taken of tho mine owuers and thair friends in the Provincial Legislature in the passage of the eight-hour law. The objectionable clause wns introduced in the ordinary way and not objected to by a single member. The Government evidently did it on purpose, and the Opposition must be a lot of asses to sit by and see it done if they did not like it. " If The Record is unable to seo what it says, it is unable to see that it is twelve o'clock at noon. The amendment was introduced iu the regulnr wuy, if by that is meant that it wns moved, seconded, put from the chair, and carried. But neither The Miner uor any person with sense enough to ^reat so grave a matter gravely bothers about little considerations of this kind. Tho advantage taken of the mino owners lies iu the fact that a law completely changing the conditions of the mining industry of the Province wns introduced nuci psssed without giving thoso most concerned a moment's notice Unless so densely stupid as to be hopeless, tbo members of tho Government, who are responsible for all legislation, ought to have known tiiut a serious alteration in the working day was a matter of the utmost importance to tho mine owners ; and if in tbo least impressed with a sense of their responsibility, they would have taken every precaution to see that the mine owners were duly notified of their intention before robbing thorn of a fifth of the product of the labor they employ and pay for. The Record may not Bee any thing unusual or unjust in this, but others do. We employ an Engineer to superintend and advise with respect to tin more important matters of civic administration, including the waterworks. He tells us that tho system is deficient, and that unless something be done in the meantime to improvo it there is grave danger of a very serious condition of things next wintor There is only one man in the City who knows more of this matter than the Engineer, and thnt is mr. John bonstou, who knows more than auy man on earth If the electors will take the troublo to read the money by-laws carefully, thoy will find in a clause near the end of each that the tuxes necessary for interest and sinking fund are to be levied ou lauds only, not on buildings or improvements, Thero is an impression that ail rateable, property is liable, and this is bothering the minds of a number who have purchased lots nnd built houses for themselves. They believe that the levy will be made on bouses as well ns the lots. This is a mistake. The by-laws themselves expressly declare that lands only shall be liable. The man who is holding a vacant lot for speculative purposes will pay as much as the one who has put up a dwelling for himself and settled down as a permanent resident. That is worth remembering. The debentures are to be a charge on lands only. You probably intended to vote for the by-laws anyway, having pride in the town and being anxious to seo it progress; but with this fact fast in yonr grip you will do it with greater readiness and satisfaction.

The Council aro not asking to expend a dollar of money that tho actual needs of the Oity do not demand, Thoy are elected to do the business of the City, and say they required so many thousands for such and such a purpose if tho business is to be put on a safe and progressive basis. Those who elected them should see that this money is provided. It is proposed to raise it on debentures, spread over a number of years ; those who come after will pay their share ns well as we. Interest and sinking fund will be lovied ou land only, not on buildings or improvements. The total yearly charge will be a mere bagatelle for a growing, prosperons Oity like Nelson.

The debentures to bo issued under the authority of the by laws to bo voted on Monday will l.e a charge on lauds only, not on buildings and improvements. It is an application in miniature of the single tax principle. Thero need be no doubt on this point, as it is so provided in' the by-laws themselves. On lauds onlv.

Sundaj was hot. but a merry breeze wns blowing, and there were six of ns. in Uu best of spirits, perched up aloft in tin caboose, from wbioh point of vantage we could see the country nn nil sides "'Whim! The bamming birds" nil praiue to the maestro who designed that oabouse. And the scene wns magificent. Summer bud indeed burst upon us in all its glory. The larohes waved theii branches, bravo in their olive-green attire, the cotton wood trees and hazels shook their green tendrils exult- ingly in the wind, the tall dark green pines and cedars bowed approvingly us the breeze stirred their tops, all nature laughed and sang, Joyous in her awakening from the long dreary winter. Ah how sad to think of the few short months that summer Btays with us. "Rough winds do shake the durlina birds of May, und summer's lease bath all too short a dnte. " sang the immortal William to his mysterious friend Mr. W, H. How ninny of usnrii fortunate enough to be able to turn,like him, to soma fell hploved friend or more than friend, and say : ".But thy eternal summer shall nm fad", Nor lose possession ot that fair thoi- owest; Nor shall Death brag them wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow est;" My mind will wander from (lie lisi. to poetry but please let me explain that I am lingering in (ho throes ot grass widowhood and am nt times, n- 'tis lint meet, duly sentimental. Oh the fish I Xes they didn't rise will until the evening nnd llien I was deer in "Omar Khavnam," the book afore- si. id. Now let me say a word of winning to my friend Oharon of the ferry. A dollar and a hull' a day for a boat is too nm h to charge Iu the first place tin craft are anything but luxurious, secondly you can get nearly us ninny fish from the shore, thirdly ihe bin added to the fare makes the exonrsirin too expensive lor poor devils like yum humble seivaiit to indulge in frequently.

I bad a literary masterpiece lo polish up for a magazine so could noi get out until noon. Then, I blush to own it, I abused the hospitality of soiim friends by overeat ing myself al 1111 al fresco banquet to which I wns invited. In fact it was nil 1 could do, feeling as I did like a newly fed boa- constrictor, to row quietly home before the storm burst upon us. "There wns a sound of revelry fbul night," and wo all got gloriously mixed up with tho National Anthem and "Whoa! the bumming birds"at some- timo during tbo small hours of the en- Buing morn. Last week I wrote of funerals nnd now I sing of revelries. A time and place for all things gentlemen. A season for mirth and a season for sorrow. We cannot always be gay and ii were a sorry world were we ever serious and sail. "I care not" observed William tbo Norman to bis U. A. A. G. on tho morning after the "toot' '.hich followed the Battle of Hustings "who makes these barbarians' wines; send me the man who can remove the beehive from my overwrought brain." I understand that this remark is not to be found in any standard history of England, but u friend of mine, to whom I am indebted for the quotation, writes Unit "learned authorities who have read the original MS. in Early Norman, make no doubt as to the correct translation. " I trust thnt the nonconformist conscience of Nelson will pardon me if I venture to suggest that the wish ot the first William has occasionally, if not often, found an echo in the breasts of some of the "boys" of this enterprising Oity. "Virginibus puerisque cnntumus' particularly "pueris" for I am old nm somewhat portly and the "virgines' will have uono' of mo. There was u day though���hut never mind. That, as Kipling would say, is another story. How to relieve tbo pangs following on a too generous absorption of the juice of the vine, how to innko endurable thnt terrible "day after" when the roof of the mouth resi moles blotting paper nnd tho surface of tin tongue is like the well worn velveteen or plush with which cheap furniture is upholstered, is now the problem I desire to deal with. In primis, renounce the obeinist and all his works; nnd further, be not deluded witli Chat diabolical precept "take a hair of I bo dog that bit you." Here is an infallible panacea which I dedicate to the "gilded youth" of Nelson. Into a long tumbler put a well beatan (yolk and white) raw egg, some crushed ice, u pinoll of cayenne pepper, n teaspoonful of sifted sugar, a wineglassful of brandy (tin best procurable) and fill up with now milk." Letjthe bar-touder put the tumbler on the "jig-a-jig" machine, that is if you^can bear to look or listen to it. then swallow th yon o '.'i and may n etc. etc. Z Note well that soda water is to be esohewi , un] .-���; an emetic is desired.
