Daily Edition No. 675. N ��.on, British Columbia, Wednesday, March 14, 1900. '.��� Tenth Year PEACE The Two Presidents' Fervid Appeal to Lord Salisbury. Her Majesty's Government Declines to Consider It at All. (SPECIAL T��> TH-J MINKII.) New York. March 111.-That the ���yep of the world are turned to the Unitcil States us the only power that will at least make an effort to mediate between Grent Britain and the Booth Africa- Kepobiips is evidenced by the many speoial8 to the morning papers. A correspondent deolnres positively that the lirst Htop has already been taken by President McKinlcy. Ho says upon tbe receipt yeBtenlny of a dis- putoli from Consul Hay concerning the Boer appeal it wns immediately communicated to London, and it it anticipated that the.Riitisb Government, which has been expecting such proposals, Will be able to give an immediate niiHwer. The Administration lias been stnting that it would decline to use it" good offices in the interest of ponce unless asked hy both powers to mediate hut it has changed its attitude to the extent of laying before tbe Brit- ' i��h Government the proposals which United States Consul Hay received from Presidents Kruger nnd Steyn. It is understood that Mr. Hay reports having attended the oonfereuoe wheu Presidents KruRor and Soyn appealed to all nations to use their good offices in the interest nf pence, but it is stated that he received a speoial OOmmnnlpa- linu to tt,��� proposals thnt should be made, the f.ansaval woll understanding thnt the United States, as tbe next bett friend of Englnnd, would be the best channel through which to appeal for peace. It is believed, however, that the Administration did not commit itself, leaving to Great Britain to determine without representation on the part of the President, whether it should accept or reject the proposal nf the Transvaal in the interests of peace. Montague White, in a signed Washington telegram to Tbo World, says: "I bnvc already expressed the desirability of a friendly neutral, preferably the United States, mediating in order to bring thin deplorable South African tragedy to a peaceful termination. It is absolutely indospensihlo that a third power should bo n party to a settlement in order to give a basis of per- uiuuency thereto. There is so much jingoism in conflict with local patriotism and there has been bo much treaty breaking in the past, that South Afrioa needs, more than anything else, a lasting peace. There is also tbe danger of the destrnction of Johannesburg, which will involve the loss of 1150,- 000,000, or the entire . ainonnt of the Hiitish war loan. This will be a strategic necessity, as the Boeis could not defend it nor could tbey allow it to remain as a base for military operations ngaiiiBt Piatoria. The London correspondent of Tho World said that be leariw ou trustworthy authority thnt the uppeal sent last Saturday to Englnnd by Piesidsnt Kruger was remarkable in both manner and matter. Tbe language of the dooomeut (airly pulsates with religions fervor aud the up- po��l lor peace is made in solemn phruscasuch as "In tbo name of the trueQod." It is not improbnblo that 'he Ministers are awaiting tbe occupation of Bloamfoutelu before stating Ihe conditions under which proposals for peace will be considered nnd the regulation 0f a policy, wben publiBh- <xl. is more likely to describe the .conditions under whioh peaoe cannot he wade than to formulate nsettlomsnt of tbe South African complication. Peril, March l!i.���A representative of the Associated Press has seouied from a responsible mouthpiece of tbe French Government Ihe following exposition of France's attitude, in the matter of intervention in the Anglo- 't'-nsvaal war, which is said to have been solicited by President Kruger. "he official in qnestion said: "We Mieve it is true tbe Trnntivanl has "f"' a request to the powers tor tboir Intervention, though up to this morn- '"K President Krugar's message has "ot reached mi. As far as France is oontiernol, she certainly will not * 5 the initiative in offering Km J mediation, nor will Russia, I* ,e dual ulliuance is naturally work* 'together in this question. Wo f< .bat in tbo present excited stato of public feeling in England, and especially as regards ourselves, any step taken by tho French Government would defeat its own object, aud instead of opening a wny to honorable pence, would act as oil on flanios and probablv only ere- ato fresh complications. We oonsider that overtures of mediation can only come from a power whose cordial relations with England prevent such a suggestion being construed ns nu unfriendly act. The Emperor of Germany, foi instance, might take tbe initiative, or President MoKmloy, without fear of oieating friction which standH in tbe way of any such notion on our part and uitei this iB done, full reliance oan be placed on tbe unqualified support of Fruuce and Russia, whoso only dosire is to see the ond of blood shed, and who are eager to lend their good offices iu bringing about fbis end." (MY ASSOCIATED 1-llESS.) London, March in.���A Parliamentary paper, containing tbe tebgmiua scut to the British Government by the Presidents of tho South African Republics and the Orange Free State and Great Britiau's reply thoreto, was is- Rued this afternoon. It first givos the teleRrnm sent by the two Presidents to the Marquis of Salisbnry as follows; Hloomfonteiu, March 6, 1900.��� The blood and the tears of tbousunds who have auffored by this war and the prospect of nil moral and economic ruin wberewith South Afrioa iB now threatened, mnke it necesBiiry for both belligerents lo ask themselves dispassionately, and as iu tbe sight of the living God, for what arc they fighting and whether tbo will of eaoh justifies all this appalling misery and devastation. With this object, nud iu view of tbe assertions of various British states men to the elfeot that this war was bo- gun aud is bciug carried on with the sot purpose of undermining Her Majesty's authority in Booth Africa, and of setting up au Administration ovoi all of South Africa independent of Her Majesty's Government, we consider it our duty to solemnly declare thnt this war was undertaken solely aB a defensive measure to maintain the threatened independence of the South Afri- oau Republic and is only continued in order to secure aud maintain tbe in contestable independence of both Republics as sovereign international states and to obtain tbe assurnnce that those of Her Majesty's subjects who have tnken pnrt with us in this war shall suffer 110 harm whatever, iu person or property. Ou tbeBO oonditions, but on these conditioua alone, are we now, as in tbe past, desirous of seeing ponoe re-established iu South Africa. While if Hor Majesty's Government is determined to destroy the independence of the Republics, thore is nothing left to us and to our people, but to per- Beveie to tbe second course already begun. In spite of the overwhelming prominence of tbe British Empire, we are oonfident thnt God, who lighted the unextmguishable fire of love of freed.mi in the hearts of ourselves nnd of inn fathers, will not forsake ub and will accomplish His work in ub and 111 our dependents. Wo hesitated to make this declaration earlier to Your Excellency as we feared tbnt as long as the advantage was always on our side aud aa long aa our forces held defensive positions far within Hor Majesty 'b colonies, such a declaration might hurt the feolings aud honor of tho British people. But now that the prestige of tbo British Empire may be considered to be assured by the capture of ono of our forces by Her Majesty's troops and that we have thereby been foiced to evacnuto other positions which our foroes had occupied, thnt difficulty is over nud we oan no longer hesitate to clearly inform your Government und people, in thu sight of the whole civilized world, why wo are fighting and on what conditions wo are ready to restore peace. The Mnrquis of SaliBbnry tu the Presidents of tbe South African Republic and Orange Free State: Foreign Offloe, Maroh 11, 1000.���I two Republics under conventions which then were in existence. A discussion bad been proceeding for some mouths between Her Majesty's Government and the Sontli Africnn Republic of wliioh the object was to obtain redress of certain very serious grievances under whicli the British residents in South Africa weie Buffering; In the course of those negotiations, the South African Republic bud, to the knowledge of Her MnjoHty'a Government, made considerable armaments and the latter bad, consequently, taken steps to provide corresponding reinforcements of tbo British garrison at Capetown und iu Natnl. No infringement of tho rights guaranteed by the oouventions nnd up to that period taken place on tbe British side. Suddenly iii two days notice, the South African Republic, after issuing an insulting ul I timatum, declared wur upon Hoi Majesty, and tho Orange Free Stnte, with whom there had not even been any discussion, took a Biniilnr step. Her Majesty's dominions were immediately invaded by the two Rcpnblics. Siege wns laid to throe towns within tho British frontier; a portion of two colonies wero overrun with great dost motion of property and life, and the Republics claimed to treat the iu- habitnuts of extensive portions of Hor Majesty's dominions as if those dominions bad_beon annexed to ono or tho other of them, lu anticipation of these operations tbe Smith African Republic had been accumulating for many yeais pnst military stores on 1111 euoruinns scale which, by their character, could only have been intended fornse against Groat Britain. Your Honors moke some observations of a negative character upon the object with which these preparations were made. I do not thiuk it necessary to discuss the questions jou have raised, but the result of thtfse prepaiations, cairiod on with grent secrecy, has been that the British Empire has been compelled to confront an invasion whicli bus nutiiiU.1 upon the Empire a costly warfare aud the loss of thousands of preoiouo lives. This great calamity iB the penalty Groat Britain has suffered for having in leoeut years ncqniescod iu the existence of tbe two Republics. Iu view of the use to which the two Republics hn\e put the position which was given them and the calamities their unprovoked attar], bus indicted ou Her Ma jcBty'a dominions. Her Majesty's Government can only answer Your Honors' telegram by saying tbey are not prepared to assent to tbe indepeudeuce either of tbe South African Republic or the Oraugo Free State. NOT YET IN Lord Roberts' Forces on the Outskirts of Free State Capital. Reports from Mafeking State That the Garrison Is in a Bad Way. Washington, D. '!., Mnrcb 13.���Up to tho time the Gnbinot meeting adjourned today the answer of tbo British Government to the representations made through Mr. Choute, touching the restoration of peace in South Africa, bud Lot been received. Not u single proposition to serve as a basis of a pence agreement between Great Britain and tbe Boer Republics wns set out in the communication to Lord Salisbury. All that was ventured in this first overture was an enquiry as to what Grent Britain was likely to demand as tbo price of stopping the war. To bava gone further and have proposed terms on our own account might have placed tbe United States in the position of an uninvited mediator, The Cabinet also discussed the resolution of Senator Allen calling for information iib to what stops had been taken to bring about peace in South Africa. No statement to tbe public will be issued. Halifax, N. S., Maroh 18.���There is considerable curiosity hero as to just what cbnuges are to be made in the arrangemert for garrisoning Hnlifax, what it means and whnt it will lead to. The Canadian regiment, which is to replace the Leineaters, ia being mobilized bnt so far na can be learned in official circles, the latter bna not yet received definite ordera to leave. There waB an order some tine ago, but since nothing farther is announced a change, far reaching in character, is anticipated. Another cause for consid ersblo speculation is the suggestion that the position of Commander of Canadian Militia as hold by Major- Goneral Hutton.will be abolished and (IIY A.SSOCIATBD I'UHSS.) London, March 14.���(4J10 n. m.)��� Nothing can be snifl of the sd^anoe noon Bloemfontein beyond Lord Roberts' own dispatch. Nothing more baa been permitted to come through. Doubtless Lord Robe ta linisclf is fully employed with important military operations. The dispatch from Oape Town Baying that "General French lias arrived ut Bloemfontein," probably does not moan that ho bus entered the city. Lord Roberts' movement may menu either that the Boors have cut the railway tn llic north or that tho Biitisb cavalrv have dono bo. If the former, then it may ho assumod that no rolling stock has been soized but the general assumption that it is the hitter is interpreted ns correct. This would greatly facilitate obtaining supplies from Orange River, an important matter, as Lord Roberts' line of communication with Moddei bridge is now one bundled uud ten miles loug. The Boors may muke another fight but thero is little doubt that Lord Roberts will occupy Bloenifontein today (Wednesday), The Boer retiring from Orange River will Hud themselves between two British armies and their guns un almost found to fall in the bunds of the British while the occupation of tbe capital of the Free State will strain tbe uiliunoo of the two republics to the utmost. Tbe Government will not nllow tbe Krnger-Steyn mutter to influence in any wny their determination not to spare any effort to prosecute the war. There will be no dimiuuntioii of tbe measures calculated to man.t .in tbo full etlieielley of the field force nnd whatever rein- foronients were previously consideied advisable will still be sent out. Lord Salisbury's reply meets with universal appreciation nuiong Conservatives and it is the universal opinion that the Boers by thoir extravagant and canting tone, mean to influence foreign powers, have again ovorreaob- sd themselves as they did by the ultimatum. London, March 14,���The Daily Mail bus the following dispntcb from Kim- berley, dated Tuesday, Maroh 13: "Lord Methncu occupied Poshof, on .Sunday, without opposition. He left u gnrrison there and returned here. The railway aud telegarph lines have boon repaired -1 miles north of Slyp Klip. It ig understood that tbe line between Foanrteeii StreamB nnd Vry- niug is not badly damaged." Joubert has arrived here to cousnlt with tho Government. Rumors of pence ovorturos are in tbo air. All attention is directed toward the British advauco upon Bloemfontein bnt the Federals are still confident of being able to check it. London, March 13. ���(10:05 a. m.)��� Tbe War Office has received the following additional dispatch from Lord Roberts at Venters Vlci, dated Mnrcb 12, 9:30 p. m. : Our mnroh wns agnin unopposed. We are now nbout iy miles from Bloenifoutein. Tbo cavalry di- vieon ie nBtride tbe railway six miles south of Bloemfontein. Tbere were 321 men woundod, and about (10 or 70 killed or missing. Colonel Unipholy bus died of his wmiuts. Lieutenant Prutt, of tho Essex Regiment, was woundod severely. The wounds are as a rule more serions than usual owing to the expanding bullets, which are freoly used by tbe Boers. I direoted General French if it wus dark to seize Iho railway at Bloemfontein aud thus secure the rolling Btock. At midiiigbt I received a report from bim thut after considerable opposition be bad been able to ojoupy two hills close to the railway station whicb commands Bloemfontein. A brother of President Steyn has been made a prisoner. The telegraph lino leading northward has been cut nnd tbo railway broken up. I am now starting tbo third cavalry brigade which I called up from tbe seventh division ucur Petersburg yos- terday, aud tho Mounted Infnntry to reinforce the cavalry division. The rest of the force will follow as qnickly as jossible. Ladysmitb, Mnroh 12.���The main body of the enemy is iu position nt Kiggarsburg. General Joubert is at Gloncoe. There is rensou to believe that few Boers are ut Dundee though the place is well foi titled.

Durban, March 12.���General Sir Gooige Stewart White bus arrived nere and embarked upon a trauspoit for Fast Loudon. London, March 13.���A dispntch to The Times from Mnfekiug, dated Monday, March 5, says the garrison at that place are feeling acutely tbe stress of the Beige.

CANADA War Resolution by French Member of the House of Commons. Lt.-Governor Mclnnes Says Election Will Be Held Before June 30th. London, Maroh 14.���Winston Churchill wires the Morning Post from Durban, protesting against tho ooremou- ious treatment of General Cronje, and udds: "Tbe stem decision not to ex- cliunge prisoners will undoubtedly uo- eelorute the oud of the war but will prove very bnrd, and perhnpB, eveu diiiigerous, for the British prisoners in Pretoria. Tbere is abundant ovidonco that the Boers ure becoming oruol, and that the war will wear a darker phase. It is vory doubtful if the Boer Government will bn able to control the wild missions of tho exasperated ruffians, forming the noisy part of tbe Boer forces in tbe event ol a siogo of Pretoria and tbo position of British prisoner would become procarions.

However, tbe Boers may make a strenuous resist- uuoe until Lord Roberts' mum urmy could join the cuvnlry, wIiobo leader has 01100 more boon afforded tbe opportunity of reaping glory iu first reach- ing the goul. Tho strngetic importance of what is taken by tbo capture of one of tho enemy's seats of Government has created link enthusiasm in London ns for days it had bten regarded us certain that Lord Roberts would soon bo nt Bloemfontein.

Ottawa, Ont., March 13.���In the House of Commons today Sir Charles Tupper asked if the Government could give any information in regard to what arrangements were made for rop- reaeutation at the Paris Exposition. Sir Wilfrid Lautier regretted that Mr. Fisher was not present to give full information but he (Lanrier) migbt tell tho leader of the Opposition that Mr. Tarte bad been appointed chief commissioner for Canada at the exposition. The Minister of Publio WorkB would get no salary. This conclusion was reuchod by the Government rather re- luotantly, because the Government did uot wisb to lose his services during the present session. It was well known, however, that Tarte was not well and bis friends hoped that the trip to Paris aud ohange of labor would benefit his health. On motion to go into suppl] Bouraa- sa made a speech on the constitutional aspect of sending troops to South Africa without first consultiug Parliament. Mr. Bonrassa dealt at leugtb with bis own action in insisting thut Parliament should have been called befoi': it had 'seen d- Med thai ''-<n- ada should take part in toe war. That, iu his opinion, would have boen the onstitutlonnl course to havo juraued. Mr. Bourassa was particularly severe on tbe pnrt taken hy Mr. Chamberlain in the Transvaal war, who, he said, had gone back on his old leader, Mr. Gladstone, in the case of the Transvaal. Mi. Chamberlain refused to submit the ease to arbitration. WaB it fair, he asked, that abritration should be 1 ''used to a small country like tho Transvaal, and granted to a large country? He condemned tbe right of any Government taking the power of the sovereign aud Parliament into its own hands. There was in the present case neithor the urgency nor tbe necessity for tbe Government acting so hastily. Britain did not require Canadian soldiers. Britain wns well able to defend the Transvaal without Canada. That disposed of tho nrgenoy and necessity and thenfore Parliament Bbould have been oBllod. To permit of this going on without opposition meant endangering tbe existence of tbe farming community and labor olassen of the country, wbiob was now crushing the hearts blood out of the people of Europe. He took np Lord Minto's speech at Quebec, when bo spoke of "the quibbles of oolouiul responsibility" nud also declared himself in favor of au unwritten constitution. Ho denied that publio opinion in Canada wus in favor of participation in tbe war and pointed to The Teronto Weekly Sun and trade labor unions of the same city. A largo section of tbo press whilo not opposed to sending ttoops to Transvaal were strongly nguinst doiug so without the oonuont of Parliament. Bourassa quoted from n speech ot Sir Charles Tupper when bo wus High Commissioner, nud when he said that Groat Btitain did not keep its army for tbe advancement of Canada. No British or Canadian statesman, except Mr. Morlcy.snid Mr. Bourassa, hud so strongly opposed the now movjraenc as did Sir Charles Tupper. Sir Charles was then High Commissioner for Canada, but now he was looking for votes for a wrecked party. He argued tbat bis amendment was not a want of confidence in the Government. It merely assertod well established constitutional principles which now existed nnd nnght to continue to exist. In conclusion be moved in amendment: "Thut this House insists on the principlo of the sovereignty nnd the independence of Parliament as tho basis of British institutions nnd the safeguard of the civil and politioal liberties of British citizens and refuses consequently to consider the action of tho Government in relation to the South African war ns a precedent which should commit this country to any action in the future.

N'KLSON XtlNEB PRINTIS- & PUBLISHING CO n J BEATON, Editor and Manager. THE MUNICIPAL MONOPOLY. There is danger of tho town getting itself into a state of mind over tho notion of the Tramway Company iu endeavoring to introduce electric power from Bouiiiiigton Fulls work". The Mnyoi did his best to begin an agitation at tbo meeting of Counoil on Monday night. There is no occasion for excitement, and we hopo that tho citizens will refuse to grow hot over the matter. Such trouble us theio is began with tho present Mayor. He was tbo principal of n company of speculators who established nu apology for elcctrio works in the Oity,and who succeeded in unloading them on tho incorporation at several times tbeir value. Tho transaction is believed to hnve been a swindle in more respects than one. We do not know that Mr. Houston is ashamed of his pnrt in it, but his extreme anxiety to protoot tbe works against competition, in order that tho ratepayers might get some return for their investment, loads us to hopo thnt bo is not entirely insensibly to remorse. The eloctric light bns always been unsatisfactory. When the works wore transferred to the City it was Bimply wrotched, uud although the municipality bus expended ninny thousands of dollars since in the effort to improve it the light is still very indifferent and very costly. How indifferent it is we have realised more than ever since the introduction of gas. The plant has never been able tc supply tbe necessary power. This wns so painfully apparent lust year that, in submitting a by-lam to raise money for its improvement, the Council imposed conditions of a very extraordinary nature. There should be no electric power brought in fiom the outside, and the Gas Company ihould uot bo allowed tn charge rates so low that their light should come into competition with the electric light. A more complete monopoly was nover established, aud tbo curious thing is it was established by tbe representatives of tho people ngninst the people themselves, with tho hearty approval, if not at- the instigation, of the present Mayor. A monopoly is Dot a wliit more defensible because it is n municipal one. The act of a municipal Council in preventing a citizen from getting the article that ho desires at the lowest cost is quite ns objectionable, and ns opposed to right principle, as if committed by a private Trust. It is now sought to relax this monopoly to the extent of obtaining u limited quantity of boras-power from Bonnington Falls, the contention being made, and quite truthfully, tbnt the corporation works ato utterly nu- able to supply it. From tbo standpoint of tho citizen there can bo no objection to this, ns it would be an unquestionable advantage to tbe publio interest if tbo monopoly wore destroyed. There is one interest, however, that would bo projudically affect ed, nnd that is entitled to consideration. Tho Gas Company wore no part ies to tbe monopoly; tho conditions referred to were not of their making or seeking. Bat encouraged by them, and, as they have believed, protected by them, tbey hnvo csablished works at groat cost. It becomes n very grave qnestion whether tbo City oun repudiate its tacit obligation to stand between them mid outside competition, without laying itself open to the charge of bud faith. That is tho only difficulty that presents itself; the question of protection to the City itself is not worth u moment's thought. mny be well to point out that other members of tho Couuoil are involved 111 the disgrace which the Mayor's condnot brings on that body. The Mayor is not tho Oonncil, nor even tbe greater part of it; and when be displnys those manners thnt are peculiar to him it becomes tbe duty of the Aldermen present, if they wish to preserve the dignity and self-respect of the Couuoil, to ohock His Worship in a manner he will understand. With today will close Mr. Martin's .second week iu bis effort to form n Government. Tho situation is growing more and more Bcandnlous. With two colleagues only, this new Premier presumes to administer tho affairs of the Province. Mr. Semlin hud four, uud there was but the oue vacancy in biB Cabinet, yet the Lieutenant-Governor made tbe incompleted stute of it a principal renson for dismissing him. Unless nil tbe established practices in connection with our system of government are to bo violated or turned into ridicule, His Honor will require very soon to insist that Mr. Martin sbnll immediately complete nis task or step aside and allow some other person to undertake it. It should be possible for Messrs. P. Boms & Co. to seek to obtain power enough from Bonnington Falls to oper- ato theii cold storage plant, without subjecting themselves to Buoh a violent and unreasonable attack as that which appeared in Mr. Houston's paper yesterday. They are not asking for anything unlawful, or anything improper; tbeir desire is a perfectly legitimnte and businesslike oue, aud for pressing it they deserve somehing better than to be treated as highwaymen. But Mr. Houston cannot brook contradiction, und these who oppose nim must take his abuse. Tho wonder is that men of spirit endure him at nil. Local anglers are no doubt anticipating with delight that the olose season for trout will end on Thursday next. The season for big baskets is not at hand, it is truo, but there is pleasure in feeling that one is at liberty to wiold his rjd without rebuke from hie conscience. 50 Cases New Drugs and riedicines Received this week, fresh from the manufacturers. A correspondent of a Victoria papei suggests thai the Mayor should invite all citizens to wear the shamrock on Saturday next, the 17th, us a mark of "appreciation and gratitude for the heroin and valiant services of tbe Irish generals and soldiers who have taken so prominent a part in maintain ing British supremacy in South Africa." All the 1,11.0011 -, soldiers have fought vulianlly in South Africa, and the Canadians by no means least nf all. But it is not invidious to say thut tho gallantry nf the Irish regiments stands out colispionously, and tbo compliment of the suggestion is no more than tbey deserve. They fongbt and died with u conrngn that was admirable and with n devotion tbnt has compelled the gratitude of the nntinn. All honor to them, whether in tbe wearing of the shamrock or in tbe silent respect nnd appreciation of tho heart. H. F. M'LEAN Druggist. TolflphOM 115. P. O.

Bird, D. McAithnr, Ohas. Wilson and A. G. Khnw. The Secretary's report, showing the Hssnta in sight as against the known liabilities with a deficit of ahout tltiO, vtns rend and adopted. The niwlicnl officer's report was road. This showed that 208 oases had hi en treated with a total of four deaths. One of these was the death of a man who was in a dying condition when lie was brought into tho hospital. This nport was adopted. The election of new directors to re- plnce the six letiring director* was then proceeded with. Tho new directors are:' Aldermen Irviuo and Morrison N. T. McLeod J, M. Lav, F. W. Swannell, and Charles Wilson. The Association then passed votes of thanks to tbo retiring directors, the president aud seotretary ; and to Mes- dailies Stocks and Robertson for their valuable services in raising the funds necessary to complete the now building, they having collected about $1,500 dnriug tho year. A vote of thanks and confidence was tendered to the surgeon in charge and stall' of the hospital. AJsincere vote of thanks was also tendered to the Ludios' Hospital Aid for (heir valuable assitance and cooperation during the year. These proceedings closed the general meeting. The directors' meeting followed. The first order of business whs (he eleotion of oflloers. Judue Forin was unanimously reelected President. Mrs. J. Laing Stocks was elected Vice-President; Mr. W. W. Beer was re-eleoled treas- nrei aud F. W. Swannell was reelected secretary���those two elections were unanimous also. Jcdgo Forin vacated the chair for a short while and gavo notice that at tho neit regular meeting of the direotors he would move that the name of the Hospital be changed from tho "Koota- nuy Lake General Hospital" to tbe "Nolson Geu'ral Hospital."

Tho t|uestiou of a successor to Dr. Rose, whose torm will expiro in July, was not gone iuto with any definite understanding as to when tho appointment will he made. Dr. Rose's resignation which has been handed in will till..- effect at the pleasure of the Board. The Association was greatly gratified at the grant made by tho City Onuuiil on Monday and it is estimated that this fuud with tho amount now on hand will aliont clear tho indebtedness of the Hospital.

" Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in reply, said that he listened to every word from Booraeea with close attention and be regretted to have to .litTor witn one for Whom he hud for years a OloBa, warm, personal friendship. His friend, however, was a young man who stuck to oberiihed theories, which sometimes lucked in practical ell'eot. Mr. Bourassa told him that he was going to move such a resolution and he (Laurier) suggested to him (hat if he was determined to do so as a dnty to himself nml his constituents, ho should do so on the Address or on the resolutions of the Finance Minister, when it could have been amended or dealt with iu tho proper way. It was not the matter iu tbe resolution which wus to he ohject- ed to, but the language in which it was arrauged and the opportunity which was taken for presenting it. That being tho case it was necessary foi him to Oppose it. Besides this be objected to the arguments which were being used by Bourassa in support of bis resolution. For instance BonrueBa had said that the course which the Government was taking was In violation of the constitution. He took issue there und then with Bourassa. He quoted trom Todd to show thut tho Government had u right to make Buoh an expenditure as whb done in this case so long as they wero willing to assure responsibility. He cited Dis- rueli in buying np the Block of the Suez Canal as a case in point. Public Opinion in Canada was with the Government in sending troops to South Africa. What would bo the result if troops were not sent? (Obeersj. Why thero would be racial war iu Canada. (Hear, hear, nnd cheers.) As for himself, his whole efforts wero directed towards the union of tho peoplo of Canada. As long us his friends behind him supported him, he would continue to pursue tbnt policy ; oven if they would go back on him, ho still would continue to advocate Buch. (Load cheers). Tho motion was lost by 10 to 110, French members being the only ones who voted with Mr. Bourassa. Victoria, B. 0., March 18.���A deputation of Victoria business men. headed by D. H. Ker and William Wilson, waited on Lieutenant-Governor Mcln- nes this afteruoiu and urged him to end the present nhouiinnble political situation by dissolving the House aud having au immediate election. Mo- Tnues assured them that there would be a general election before dnne '30. Outside of that they got little satisfaction. Besides the foregoing there is absolutely nothing new iu tho political situation. Martiu made a number ol' dismissals, but they are justified as the persons dismissed woie only employed during tho session. gooH as lieutenant, leaves tomorrow morning, ^-, II. II. BOWDBN. Committed for Trial For Conversion of Chcuk For (600. H. II. Bowden came up in the Police Court yesterday morning for preliminary trial before Magistrate Crease. The case wus quilt' a lengthy one,occupying the court until 1 p. ill. Mr. P. li. Wilson appeared for defendant and S. S. Taylor, Q. O., appeared for the Crown. Mr. Hurry Wright, Collector for the Pioviiiee, wus first put on tho stand and testified that Bowden had not paid any money Into his offloe for the Hah Mines, since .lanuary 1st, 11)00. Mr. J. J. Campbell, acting manager foi the Hall Minus, Ltd., was then sworn and gave his testimony as follows: H. II. Ilowden was iu tho employ ef the Hall Mines, Ltd., and had charge of tbe general cash books, kept the bouuting bouse books, attended CO the bunking for the firm, and acted us paymaster for the Bmelter. Tte check I iu question for |600 was In Bowden'a I handwriting and in favoi of Harry ! Wright,Collector, for payment of taxes. ' It wus signed by me and countersign ed by Mr. OroiiBdaile. After being countersigned tbe check was in Bow- dm's possession to be Riven to Mr. Wright. 1 never flaw it again until it was gotten from the bank. It wafl payable to Mr, Wiight or hoirer. This was done to facilitate Mr. Wright being ahle to take out a commission according to Mr. Bowden, Check for the pny roll for the smelter had been made out in the sanio way and Mr. Bowdan was in tho habit of cashing same. Checks for the minee were made payable to bearer. For that reason Mr. Bowden could have cashed the check iu question. Mr. Campbell also detailed the conversation over the 'phone, with Bowden at Spokane, aud said he had no doubt as to bis idfntity. Mr. Bowden has not produced auy receipt from Mr. Wright to show that the check was given to him. Mi. Bruce Ileathcote, the teller at the Bank of British Columbia, then testified thut Bowden had presented the obnek foi (660 to him for payment. Ho remarked to Mr. Bowden that it was payable to Mr. Wright. Bowden then told him that thero was a com- mission coming to him from Mr. Wright, aud it was easier to pay the net amount to Mr. Wiight than the gross amount; that it was not intended to give the check to Mr. Wright. Mr. Henthcote then paid Mr. Bowden the amount of tbe check. Br. W. J. Goepel, acliug Government Agent at Nelson, waB put on the Btand aud testified that he had received no payment of Provincial revenue tax since January 1, from Hall Miues. Mr. V. K. O. Beer, who went to Spokane as special nonstable, then testified to taking 11,1)75.85 from Bowden in Spokano, on March 0, in the office of the Chief of Police. Found Bowden in the Owl gambling hull in Spokane. Took him to the Police station where Bowden put the money ou a table, taking H from different pockets. Bowden went tn the police station without objection. He was then brought to Nelson. After hearing all the evidence for the prosecution, and on learning that the defense had no evideuce to bud- mit, Magistrate Crease committed Bowden for trial by the next couit of competent juiisdictiou. On the second charge of stealing #3,005 from the Hull Mines, Bowden wus remanded foi two days.
