Slimulirnck was towed from Southampton, tlie Erin following with Sir Thomas Lipton and a distinguished company. The Prince of Wales arrived nt Southampton at 11 o'oloek wearing a yaohttng suit, and nnmed lately embarked ou hoard tho Admiralty yacht Fire Queen. The yachts started punctually nt 1~' o'clock with a fresh southwest breeze blowing. Iho shamrock roundtd Nab lightship at 100:25 aud Britannia ut 1:0(i -.20.

As the starting gun boomed Britnn- niu almost iiinni liiiitely crossed the line, Shamrook following in a way to giro the impression that she bail no objeotion to hivi��g tbe Britannia a slight lead, The later, however, did not long maintain her advantage, it was a dead beat to windward and little distance vwis covered before Sham- rock. winch s'arted on the short leg to port, overhauled her and on tho fol- llowlug loug leg to starboard Shamrock forged ahead rapidly. It was at once noticed that she was sailing nearly ball a point nearer the wind than Britannia, fchainrock was carry - ing her mainsail, jib. hearted topsail and jib torosiiil. Britannia oarried the same canvas hut in addition her eluli topsail. Shamrock was half n mile ahead passing Warden. Hogarth was 111 the helm of the challenger. The boat held up admirably and there va> nol a drop of water oudeok. She proved extremely quick in nutting abont, only diking 10).^ seconds. Ou tonnding the Nab lightship both yachts set their spinnakers for tho run back. The only mishap dt the day was thnt wheu Shnmotok'a sail began to fill. top caught in the cross trees. The the racers round the course. The fresh breeze that was blowing at the start fell somewhat but revived sufficiently to bring the racers home at a good pace. and proved an excellent wind from a racing standpoint of view as itennbled the cracks to be tested as to their points, namely, heating to windward and running and reaching. Shamrock showed to the beet advantage in beating to windward,aud gained six minutes on Britanuia as the eight miles beat to the Nab lightship from the start although beating is considered one of Britannia's strong points. On the run bnck to Oowes, the Shamrock's gain was less Derceptible considering tho distance���about fifteen miles, but Shamrock did not set ber club topsail and so did not do her best. On the race home Shamrock did better. She could evidently have done the distance in a much shorter time if she had been put upou her metal. Shamrock is decidedly the fastest boat ever launched in these waters. No other craft never gave Britaui.ia such a heating ou a fnir sailing trial. There was considering niauoneveiing of the ynchts before the start. The opinion was fre��ly expressed that Shamrock did not appear to be so well handled as Britannia which was in the hands of Veteran Carter- who skippered her sneess- frilly against the Vigilant in 1804 Tho Britannia was sailed beautifully and excited general admiration among the immense crowds of fashionable persons who witnessed the return of the boats.

Peyton is Accused of Having Two Wives. Spokano, July 17.���A most sensational suit wus begun today iu the superior oourt of this county. Colonel I. N. Peyton, uutil recently president of the Exchange National bank, owner of the big Povton block and identified with a Uumber of mining companies in the northwest, is made defendant in au action brought by a former wife unw living in Denver, Colorado. Tbe woman's name ia Helen M. Peyton, aud she relates how Colond Peyton camo to Spokane under the ns- snmed name of Colonel George H. Morgan and ncquired considerable property. It is further alleged that he " pretended to marry auother woman named Victoria Houghton," and is now unlawfully living aud oohabita- ting with said woman as his wife. Allegations of fraud are made against the Colouol iu the settlement of a former action Suit is now begun hy the former wife to recover one half of the property of the Colonel, which is estimated at over 110,050,000. The complaint in the oase is one of the most sensntional of the kind ever filed in Spokane aouuty. It recalls the early days of Colonel Peyton'b operations in this oity and his subsequent acquisition of a fortune. The oomplaiut, which is of great length, in Bnbstance, relates that tbe plaintiff and Colonel Peyton were mar ried in Champaign County, Illinois, in 180!), and sho is still his lawfully wedded wifo. For nearly 10 vears they resided in Colorado, when Gol- ouel Peyton took her to St. Louis, where he left her, and started out west to seek, as he said, a now home, when he wonld send for her. She never heard of him again until 18S0, when she learned that he whb ie- sidiug in Spokane under the nssined name of Colonel George H. Moun\\ and that he had pretended to niairy the wimin with whom he is now living.' She instituted legal proie^d-' ingH for a settlement upon her of one half the o-mumnity property which he had acquired to i rovide means for her support, when he gave her $3,000. alleging that he ouly owned $6,000 worth of property. Subsequently she learned that he had at thit time investments in property much in exoess of thnt amount, and that since that time she hns been informed that he hud acqm.ed prooerty, including valuable realty in Santa Barbara. California, to the value of over one million dollars. She prays tho court to decree her one half of this property. The news of the filing of the suit will croate a profound sensation in Spokane and Santa Barbara society, where Mrs. Peytou and her daughter Helen are prominent figures.

CANADIAN DEAD. Hon. nt Niaiurnok, but, Sir Thomas Lipton foi lowed on the boat, tho Erin, whioh with a few yachts and one solitary but crowded excursion steanior, esoorted M. Genffrien Passed Away His Home Yesterday. Vandemill, Que., Jnly 18.-Hon. O. A. Gnoffrnin, Minister without port folio iu the Dominion Govommeut, diod ut his residence at D'Oreln at 3:15 this morning. Death came very peacefully. The Traves probeev.tion occupied the attention of Magistrate Crease all day yesterday. The information charged him with unlawfully constructing an nddition to a frame building in toe City without haviug obtained the authority of the fire wardens and building inspector and thus infringing By-Law No. 7. At the outset Mr. S. S. xaylor, Q. C., who appeared for Mr. Traves, objected co the information and said it did not disolose an offence under the by-law or otherwise. The objection was noted. Mr. Gallihor, who appeared for the prosecutiou, applied lo have the information amended, which was allowed. The City Clerk was called to prove tho by-law. He was closely cr.iss-ex auiined by Mr. Taylor as to how the by-law had been drawn up and the fire limits defined. He was uot aware of additions being made, contrary to the by law, to the Queen's Hotel nnd Dr. Arthur's building. He was aware of an addition to tbe Applewhaite block which wns a violation of the by-low and no steps bad been taken to remove the same. The Vanoonver Hardware Co. 's extension was believed to conform with the by-law. The Salvation Armv had, however, erected a wooden bnilding which violated the by-law and no notion had been taken aaginst them by the City. P. Bums & Oo. were allowed to move their building temporarily during the construction of their new brick block. This applica tiou was originally mado by Postmaster Gilker and the by-law was amend ed so as to allow this aud similar application to be granted. Upon cross- examinations witness said that the Salvation Army and Applewhaite buildings were ereoted betore tho revision of the by-laws. Fire Chief Thompson was called and testified that he had requested Traves to stop building. Mr.Taylor's cross examination of the witness tended to show that tho building in question was incomplete. Mr. McCullocb, the Oity Engineer, practically corroborated Mr. Thomp son's evidence and proved moreover that no permit hnd been signed by him for Mr. Traves. This olosed the cise for the prosecution. Mr. Taylor called no evidenoo for the dofence but immediately began his argument. He drew a wide distinction betwe��n a building and an addition to a building. The Municipal Act gave power to the Oity to pass bylaws to prevent buildings being erected within the fire limits, but that did not apply to additions to buildings already ereoted. By-Law No. 7 (whioh was tho bylaw stated in the information to have been violated) hud not been signod or sealed. The By-law which gave power to the Oity ofllcors to enter any building at anv time wns unreasonable nud it was ultra vires for a by-law to imposo punishment on au owner who refused to allow a Oity officer to outer his building. Thore is no power given hy tho Municipal Aot of a Oity to constitute its fire limits. Moreover tbe Oity can only prohibit tho erootiou of buildings and not regulate the same; nor can the Oity give permits for erection of buildings or make any exceptions. The Counoil hnd no power to direct Traves to pull down the building nor to fino him for not doing so in accordance with the notico served ou him. The by-law providod that offenders ngaiust the fire by-laws could be tried b��fore tho Mayor but this was ultra vires. Mr. Taylor's excoediugly able and exhaustive address lasted over tour hours so it is impossible to givo more than ono oi two points of his argument. The revised by-laws received a sovere handling, and if Mr. Taylor is correct, are very imperfect. Iu fact the ohjeot Of the defence was centered in breaking down the validity of tho by-laws, Bave for one brief degression when Mr. Taylor critioised the action of the Oity in not doaling alike witb all offenders ot the fire by-laws. Mr. Gallilior strongly resented this, nnd a heated argument betwoen counsel arose whioh might have ended in a tragedy had not Mr. SUICIDED IN THE DEEP. En. m There was a largely attended meeting of tue Board of Trade yesterday, when tho question as to how the delegates to the joint meetings of the Kootenay and Boundary Boards of Trade at Rossland were to speak and vote, was to be deoided. Thoso who anticipated a lively soene were doomed to disappointment. The Turner-Houston faction completely caved in and their handiwork at the previous meetiug was negatived with only one dissentient vote. This was Btrauge, seeing that there were many present who supported Messrs. Turner and Houston at tbe former meeting. As many as 85 members were present, namoly Messrs. R.Robertson, Fletoher, J. A. Turner, W. A. Macdonald; Marks, Jowett, Campbell, Houston, Newliug, Neelauds, Hillyer, MoLeod, Lamont, Gaxble. Kirkpotrickk, Dunoan, Madden, Kelly, Thomson, Dr Arthur, Holt, Gilker, Hodgins, Kydd, Morley, Bellamy, Renwick, Lay, Rowley, Sherwood, ByorB, Hamilton, Gihbs, Peters aud the Secretary. The President not being on time, Mr. Turner moved that Mr. Houston take the chair. Mr. W. A. Maodonald moved an amendment that Mr. Fletcher take the chair, and the amendment was curried. Mr. Houston at onoe rose to a point of order and asked wbo bad called the meeting and for what purpose? The ctnirman replied that the meeting waB called in the ordinary way by the President. This answer did not satisfy Mr. Houston who referred to Parliamentary procedure but was out short by he chairman ruling that the meeting was duly called. The miuntes of the previous meetiig were then read aud adopted. The President then arrived and took tha chair. Mr. Hodgins moved and Mr. Kelly seconded the following resolution : "Be it resolved tbat the delegates appointed to attend the joint Hoards of Trade meeting at Rossland, or their substitutes, be authorised and instructed to bring up for discussion, and to vote upon any subjeot under consideration in suoh a wav as they consider to be in the best interests of this distriot; and that any resolution passed at the last meeting ot this Board whioh conflicts with suoh authority be hereby resoinded." Mr, Turner rose to orr'er ai d reiterated the remarks with which Mr Hcns- ton had opened the ball. Tbe President thought that Mr Turner had been out of order at tbe last meeting. "Then why sir, do you not rule Mr. Hodgins out of order now, even a President of a Board of Trade may sometimes be expected to be consistent. " said Mr. Houston Mr. Turner further objected on the ground that the resolution waB a politioal one. The chairman in roply to Messrs. Turner and Houston read the bylaw of the Board which makes it the president's duty to regulate the order of.and convene meetings; nlso to allow discussions on whatever he may think may be of interest to miuing and trade interests. The question'was then put and tho resolution was carriod with but one dissentient, viz. Mr. J. A. Turner. The o'lairmau began to deal with a communication he had reoeived from a member as to procedure but, the question whioh hnd called for the meeting having been decided, member's showed impatience for an adjournment, the motion for which was carried unnnimouBly. A Man Jumps Overboard While Route to Victoria. Victoria, July 18.���On the trip np from San Francisco the Umatilla, wbich arrived here, today lost one of her steerage passengers, a man name:! Turner. He had noted strangely all the way aud on Sunday afternoon, while the vessel was passing through very rough water Le jumped overboard. The steamer was brought to a standstill as soon as possible and a boat lowered but by the time she was stopped 300 yards of very rough water intirvened between Turner and the snip. Life preservers were thrown to him aud in the cold water the would-be suicide seemed to relent of his act for he struck out for the boat. He soon suocumbed, however, and Bank from view before assistance could reach him. In conversation with some of the passengers. Turner had threateued to oomniitt suicide bnt no ono took his threats seriously. He appeared to he about 45 years of ago. END OF f AR TO BE COMING CLOSER Reports From Manila Are to That Effect.

Further particulars of tho bursting of the Columbia hotel at Columbus on Monday morning are to hand. The loss is estimated to be $10,000 above the insurance carried. All the guests were in bed at the time, but fortunately they esoaped. Three hundred dollars worth of furniture was saved. Two men jumped from the second story window, one of them, Frank Buset,formerly of the hotel, be- irg badly burned about the head and one arm. The lessees of the hotel were Morgan & Escaleet. Esoalet was burned out less than three weeks ago at Greenwood. The hotel had just been re-opened after being completely refurnished. It was the finest hotel in the Boundary oountry. It iB said threats were made that it would never be reopened and there is a strong suspicion of incendiarism. Tbe owner of the property was the Columbia Town- site Company. What oanuot be explained is that the fire started in a remote closet on the back part of the bnilding. There were fears that tbe fire niignt spread through the town, but as there was no vind it was confined to the hotel. A PROSPEROUS SOCIETY. Port Huron, Mioh., July 18.���Tho eighth biennial review of the Supreme Tent, Knights of tbe Macabees, open ed today with 885 delegates in attendance representing nearly every State and the Dominion Provinces. The reports of Supreme Commander Markey shows a net increase of membership during biennial period uf 43,485. The increase membership in the entire order which inolndes the supreme tent great oarop and ladies organization during tbe biennial period was 98,058. The membership of supreme tent nt preseut iu 18,381. Tbe financial statement shows a surplus on hand of $403,030. Washington, July 18.���The following statement was given out this afternoon at the otate Department: "The State Departmant yesterday reoeived from the Philippine commission an important despatch conveying these facts: Bv the oo-operation of the military und commission, municipal governments have been established in ��� series of important towns in Providence, Manila aud Cavite. These are working admirably and one good effeot of them is that considerable numbers of insurgents are constantly deserting and coming in and some of them with arras. The system will soon be extended to other towns whioh are asking for it Continued success in t his direction will mean the beginning of the end. " Despatches from Dr. Schrnmer on his return from his trip through southern part of the islands were of the same purpose. A disposition to accept American sovereignty and to welcome our troops was everywhere manifested. Tbe report of General OtiB of the 28th of June referred to by Commissioner Denhy in the above despatch stated that as a consequence of the rainy season little island campaigning was now possible in Luzon. ' 'We occupy" said Otis, "a large portion of the Tsgal country. The insurgent armies have suffered great losses and are scattered. The only large foroe wuich holds together is about 4,000 in Tarlao province and Northern Oam- pagnn there are scattered foroes in bandB of fifty and five hundred. In other protions of Luzoi, iu Oavite and lint aligns provinoe they could possi ��� bly assemble as many as 2000." They were demoralized from recent defeat The most of the people are terrorized by the insurgent soldiers, but desire peace and Amerioan protection. There has been no reoent burning uf towns. The trade with ports not in onr possession, tbe former source of insurgent revenues, is now interdicted. General Otis doubted the wisdom of this polioy as the people in these ports are now without supplies and liiirehiits are suffering losses. The courts are in successful operation nnder the direction of able Filipinos. Affairs in the other islands are comparatively quiet awaiting results in Luzon. SPANISH PRISONERS.

Count d'Almenas blamed the American authorities and the Spanish Government for the fate of these unhappy men.

In referring to Tbe Miner's Special Kootenay Number tbe Rossland Record says: "It is a oreditable number and should do much to bring Nelsou and vn.iniiv to the notice of the outside world." Mr. W. W. Johnston, of Parker, Johnston & Co., Rossland, returned home yesterday after spending a few days fishing at Balfour. He was accompanied by Mr. Ooulson of Montreal who is spending the summer in tbe Kootenays. On Monday evening at tbe Methodist parsonage Oval B.

The Nelson Miner has issued au illustrated twelve page supplement de- ���criptive of Nelson and the surrounding oountry. The articles are well written and convey much interesting inforniaton. The numerous illustra- ton are exceedingly well done.���Edmonton Bulletin, Mr. R. Roderick Robertson returned from Rossland yesterday juBt in time tor tie Board of Trado meeting. His anxiety to be present at that function bv f> p' m., conpied with the heat of the day brought forth the suggesticn from some wag that he had run all tbe way from Rossland. Mannger Harry Wright of the Nelson Lacrosse Club has received a letter from the Vancouver olnb to tbe effect that August 12 hnd beon set aside for tbo Nelson-Vancouver game. All the gate receipts, save $75, will bo given to the Nelson olub. The players are practising steadily for the game. Picnics of any sort come as a pleas - ant break in these monotonously hot days. Yesterday a large number of people enjoyed the St. Saviours church outing to Bnlfour and on the 27th auother lnrgo party will undoubtedly attend the Methodist Sunday School's annual outing to the sanie place. A very attraotive programme of sports has been arranged for the occasion. The picnic of the Bt. Saviour's Sunday school to Balfour yesterday was n very enjoyable affair. The steamer Moyie took a lar"e nnmber of child ren and adults to the charming pionio grounds and the day was spent in feeding the multitude of hungry little ones and giving a programme of sports for which liberal primes were preesented. Returning the boat reached tbe Oity nt 7 o'olook. Rev. Father Ferland has returned from New Westminster where he attended a gatheri ig' of Catholic digna tories. It was exoected that His Grace Archbishop Lavegin of St. Boniface would pay Nelson a visit, reaching here tonight, but Mr. J. 0. Patenaude, an old friend of the Arohbishop, reoeived a telagram last evening stating that His Grace was returning East over the main line. It is fenred that the Tribune's gentle hint to the gentleman who manages the water oart arrangements is but vain. The weather is now, set fair" and judging from past experiences, the water oarts, like seaweed, dries np accordingly, and will only give out moisture again when rain showers begin to be intermittent. Meantime the dust on Stanley and Baker streets is intolerable. Mrs. Gilbert, better known in the London theatrical world as Miss Ada Reeve, has been paving a visit to Nelson. Miss Reeve is well known as a charming and gifted oomio operatic star. She ptaofioally was the making of the "Gay Parisienne," a comio opera whiob, Borne throe years ago made a great hit at the Dnke of York s theatre in London. Miss Reeve was delighted with Nelson and regretted tbat her professional engagements recalled her to the old oountry. She left for England yesterday with her sister.

THREE CASTLES WESTWARD HO FOREIGN WHEAT Ymir, July IS. ��� (Special)���Situated at tbe bead of Hidden Creek, in a large tarnn. are a number of propertie�� of merit and which bave tbe indications of making mines. The distance is only about eignt miles from Ymir and if tbe result* continue as tbey baTe heretofore there will be two or three shipping properties from tbat locality. Here ll situated tbe Silver Lake Group composed of ibe Union. Silver Lake and Programme claims, These claims were located in the summer of 1896. Tbe ledge,wbich is composed of quartz and a galena running very high in lead, .-an be traced down tbe face of tbe hill for a distance of some 700 feet and is about four feet wide on tbe surface. Tbe ground is covered with metal float and this is what led tbe original locators to investigate it and stake tbe property. Tbey have done considerable work uncovering the ledge, and besides that bave run a tunnel which is 6.5 feet in length : the mineral i�� evenly distributed among the quartz and is free from tbe foot and hanging walls which are slate, the ledge being undoubtedly n true fissme. At present tbe property does not run very high in gold or silver, but there is every encouragement to believe tbat with further progiess tbe values will increase. An average of about tllO can be got while picked as- ��ays will run up well. Tbe site is an excellent one as tbe mountain rises np nearly perpendicularly. Opposite tuis property, that is on the other side of tbe gulch, is tbe Big Horn Group, which is being worked *iy Boston capital; this promises to tarn out very well,at present tbey bave about three feet of solid ore wbicb will average |2o. To the east of tbe last mentioned property are situated tbe Crested Butte jjiddie & Smugler claims ; from these asaavB taken from tbe surface will run $20 to |2o. These claims are being worked also with a view of making mines. On tbe Tamarac. a very nice strike of ore bas been made at tbe 150 foot level It is composed of a very dark looking iron and i�� three feet in width : tbe assays from this, understand, are very satisfactory indeed. It is the intention of the management to follow this new strike and open up the body more freely. Tbe Y'mir bas all tbe men working that tbey can handle: tbe mill is run ning steadily and continues to turn out bullion while tbe concentrates are being teamed here and sent to Kelson smelter. Tbere is a rumor around town tbat tbe company intends tc send to England and get some first class Cornish miners. The Black Cock i Ymir. Gold Mines. Limited, have ordered hoisting machinery fr tbe working of their prop erty; the plant is expected to reach Ymir at an early date when it will at once be placed in position and sinking commenced witb. Tbe management are having their road to tbe property put in proper shape so tbat it can be used for the handling of beavy loads. Tbe Fern mine and mill will commence running in a few days time: the new management has taken bold of tbe property, and it is expected that the plant will now be run steadily. ��� ��� ��� The latest reports from tbe Venus will be distinctly encouraging to mining men in Nelson.
