Govermi ent Oauous���A Budget of Interesting News Froai tho Coast Cities. Mr. Joseph Martin can now pack np tlmt carpet bag and look for new fields to conquer. lie has bowed to the ineviruole and resigned. Early yesterdtiy afternoon Tlio Miner received a telegram saying: "Martin has p ninncd." Prior to that message Tbe Miner's special correspondent at Viotoria wired as follows: "It is impossible to ascertain ox- nelly what occurred at tho oauous as Ihe members wero sworn to secrecy net it lias lenked ont tnat Martin mot ivilli a severe rebuff, only live mem- beis speaking in his favor. The ehiiiges preferred by Ministers wore reiterated and discussed but no vote wns taken to ascertain the sentiment ot the meeting. The general impression among politicians here todny is thnt Martin got much the worst of it. Everything is now waiting for tlie Governor." The Associated Press supplies the following information : Victoria, July 27.��� Although what transpired at caucus yesterday of Government supporters bus not been divulged, it is evident that tbe result has impelled Hon. Joseph Martiu to decide tn resign hid office, as Attorney- General before tho return of the Lieo- teimut Governor should lend to his dismissal from Iho cabinet. It hnH transpired that today Martin said farewell to the offioinls in his department nud leaves for Vancouver tonight. While the subject in the ono topic of conversation here it is quite apparent that publio opinion is piactically unanimous in approval of tlio Premier's rio- innnd for Martin's resignation. There is a general belief that the caucus wns so hositlo to tho Attorney- General that be lost no time in resigning to ant'.oipito certain dismissal. As another result of this unanimity among tho Government supporters, Martin realized that with tho exception of himself thero will not ho a sin gle defection from tho Government ranks, that the Government will still command substantial majority in the Legislature and be perfectly independent of any support thut tho opposition or the necessity ot forming a coalition cabinet to carry m toe administration. Even the (^ernmen: s opponents admit I bat Martins letiiemtm wi.i strengthen the Government in pUblh opinion, while its supporters are jubilant over the removal of the oue thing which has caused it to he regarded with suspicion and doubt. There are all sorts of minors, M to Martin's successor; they are without, the least foundation, nr.ri matters will not even be ronsidered before tho the Governor's retmn. Viotona, July 27.��� The Government caucus terminated nbont midnight last night. The members all refused to divulge the result and it is understood that nothing will be announced until tho return of the Lieutonant Governor. Speoial to the Province says : It wns learned that the Government members at the oanens endorsod tho notion taken by Premier Semlin in asking Hon. Joseph Martin to resign. Mr. Martin, it is understood, some time ago announced that ho would resign should those presont at iho Ofti'OUS deonlod against him, but up to the present vritiug, no resignation has been reaeivod from the deposed Attorney-General. Tnere is nothing in the talk of a coalition Government, whatever, nor is there are further change to be made, snve in the portfolio of thu Attorney-General. At nresent the likely successor of Mr. Martin is being discussed, and the omnion whioh gains tho biggest following is that the position will be filled by a man not at ores- sent in the Legislature. W. W. B. Mo- rimes, is Bpnkeu of. The meeting which lasted from S :80 to 12 :30, wbb a nniet one. There were no nlteroations or heated arguments, bnt there was, it is said, oonsiderable nlain talk.

Vancouver, July 27.���Vancouver's growing importance as a trade center was exemplified today when tbe returns for the Vaucouver clearing houBe for tho woek jnst ended were announced as amounting to |i,oo4,77!). This is the first time that the hank clearings of either Vancouver or Viotoria havo gone over the million dollar mark. The extra business done from the notth and tho money brought down havo swelled the large amounts of lo- oal business to the figure stated. The French warship Protet will soon bo seen in Vancouver harbor. The Protet is a third class oruiser. The chief French mon of war seldom leavo European water. Tlio oruiser has been in Southern Pacific waters. When she arrives it will be the first time that a French man of war has entored the Narrows since Vancouver was established. The Freuch naval division visited Victoria three or four years ago, hut did not oome to this port. One vessol may also go to San Francisco. Vancouver has welcomed Russian and Italian warships in the port, now ihe glad hand will be extended to Freneli sailors. Or. Rose, senior resident houBe surgeon at the Royal Victoria hospital Montreal, has accented tho position ot house surgeon lo Kootenay Lake General Hospital, Nelson. Thomas J. Gornud, aged 19, a nn- tivo of Bridgetown, Barbadoes islands, died in the city Hospital. The young man earned a livelihood hy working on tho wharves. His friends in Bridge town are reported wealthy. The transports in the service nf the United States will burn British Columbia coal. John Uosenfelds & sons.have been awarded the conrraot to supply the Government with 10,000 tons of Wellington coal for use in the transports. Salmon fishermen here are incensed at the reply of the Premier of the Do- miuion to the request that the Government should protect Oanadian fishermen. Tho fishermen are asking why they are heavily taxed under the rigid system of license, if when a small expenditure is required for their protection, they aro to be told that there are "no funds available" ami that the Canadian Government can do nothing for tlioin. The New Westminster Columbian says: "What they complain most of iB that the Canadian Government is doing nothing to help them to avoid fulling in to the ha..ds of the United States revonue cutters, which watch closely for such unwary Oanadian fishermen us allow their boats and nets to drift across the imaginary boundary line. Ab far as tbe fishermen are concerned the line is purely imaginery, there being no lani. mark on tbe shore, whio.i thjy can distinguish at any distance, and, before they are aware of having crossed the line,a ontter steams rapidly out from Polut Roberts and pounces upon them. The boats, nets, etc, nre confiscated and tbe fishermen are turned loose ou shore and directed to the nearest point on the Canadian liu3. Their gear is hold by the United nates authorities until the olose jf the .eason, when it is pnt np at auction and a deaf ear is tnrned to all offers by the owners to redeem it, and even heavy deposits have been refused by men whose liviug depended npi,n using their boats, aud nets for the remainder of the season. Thus, the keen owners of the salmon traps protent their interests, rightly or wrongly, and so far this mouth, about twenty-five Conad inn fishermen havo had to give up their gear. Inmost cases, it belonged to a cannery but individuals have been among tlie sufferers." Another batch of victims of tho Edmonton trail have arrived by the Queen. The party includes F.W. Ferguson, of Vermouth, N, S. ; H. Y. Jones, of Swift Current; P. I. Kean, of Man diester, N. H. ; 0. McQuin, of Liverpool, N. S. ; F. M. Simpson, ,;nd E. Cosmnn, of Yarmouth, N. S. ; J. MorriBou, of Srlkirk, Man; H. F. Bartheluia", of Toronto. A number of these men have had tbe doubtful pleasure of having their names published as dead. All have the same stories of hardships, and suffering to toll, of a vuin quest for gold, and a journey that lasted nearly two years, over a trail that existed in imagination. Mr. Ferguson, oue of the party, states that of the Halifax party who went iu over the Edmonton trail,only oue roan died. His n ime was Uimmock, and he died of scurvv. A looal paper recently pub lished a" sensational story about these Halifax men, stating that the entire parcv had died by scurvy, starvation and "drowning, men arriving today say that with the exception of Dim- niook, montioned above, the party are all well and making their way baok to the Coast.

A Montreal dispatch says : One of tho biggest mining deals of recent date Has just been successfully negotiated by MoQuaig, Rykert & Co , of this city, acting for a syndicate of Toronto and Montreal capitalists. The deal involves the famous North Star silver mine, nonr Foit Steelo, B. O., and flvo other properties in tho same group, viz , the Buokhorii, Dieud- naught, Maveriok, Daffodil, and 0. K. mines. These properties have Leon ownod for some years hy a svndiento oomposed of D. D. Mann, William Mackenzie, of Toronto; Sir William Van Home, H. S. Holt, K. B. Angus, Jnmos Ross. Hon. A. A. Thibaudeau. and other leading Moutrealors. A new company, to be known us tbo North Star Mining Company, has now been organizod, with a capital of $1, 500,000, of which $1,040,000 has beeu allotted to the original owners in payment for tho property, nnd 460,000 shares havo been set a:;:lo as treasury stock to nrovide working cnpitnl, etc. Of the treasury stock 200,000 shares have been bought by MoQuuig, Rykert & Co., noting for leading oaoitalists of Montreal and Toronto, of whom the principal is Senator Goo, A.

Port- eous BecMtary-trensurer. The properties owned by the company, including the North Star mine, the most famous of the group, have been steadily developed for some years and during the oeriod of development about 7,000 tons of ore wero shipped to American smelters hy steamer. Owing to Ihe treacherous navigation several of the steamers were wrecked, and it was decided to await tbe completion of the Canadian Pacific through the Crow's Nest Pass before making further shipments. Arrangements have since beon mado with the Canadian Pacific to bnild a branch line from the mines to Cranbrook, and it is expected that this br-neh will be completed in Sep tember. THE WRESTLING CARNIVAL. "The Terrible Turk" nt the Opera House Tomorrow Night. When Hali Adlai. "The Torribio Turk," "Tho Sultan's Lion," comes to town there will bo nt least three men ready to wrestle with him and tbe prospects are bright for a first class evening's sport in the Opera House, on Saturday. Thero are 275 pounds of Hali Adlai and it is chiefly musclo. He is not such a ferocious being bb he is described but is a good naturcd athlete who bandies his competitors in as gentle a manner as is consistent with the sport. He has wrestled in all parts of the world ; he has defeated the lamented Yousouf who went to the bottom of the ocean with a belt of gold around his corpulent person, he has laid the short and stocky Ernest Roeber's two shculders on the mat at the same time; ho has laid low the beantiifully constructed Casper Muller from 3untn Africa, and linB beat Dan McLeod, Farmer Bums, Tom Canuiion, Charles Moth aud others. So he is a first rnte man. His offer here is to give one dollar for each minute any man stands before him without being thrown. He will take ou all that come along and tho offer is open to the world. Tho contests will commence at 9:80 and the Turk will wrestle each man twice There is talk of arranging a match with a powerful miner who works near Nelson. Arrangements will be marie today. Tho Turks' mnuager would like any man who wished to take a fall out of the champion to leave his name at The Miner office. LETTER STEALING CASE. The United States Vico Consul Did Not Wish to Testify. Montreal, July 27,���The chief argument in the Bell case today was ou a point as to whether tho Americnu-Ger- inau vice consul could be obliged to give testimony anont the stealing nf the Carranza letter ugaiust bis own wishes When Mr. Wei, for tho prosecution,asked for the administration of oath to the Uuited States representative, tho latter objeoted, stating that he wbb in his official capacity. Magistrate Lafontaine ruled that according to the code of procedure Mr. German would be obliged to testify provided proper affidavits were made showing tbat he was au essential witness. He was subpoenaed by both sides. Ernest W Sumroerskill, coraplninaut, was on the stand, the text ot his testimony being that he believed Bell had told tbe truth wheu be swore to the affidavit confessing the theft of the Carranza letter. Detective Kellert, who was arrested and discharged over a year ago on a oharge of having sto.on the letter, will be on the stand tomorrow. Mr Kellert says that the letter was taken to the headquarters of the Spanish attaches by Chief Redfern of the Beaton Seoret Service. MORE FIGHTING IN MANILA. MORE MESSENGERS STRIKE. Philadelphia,"jiily 27.-The fever of striking, which seems to have taken possesion of telegraph messengers in various cities, reached here today when approximately nearly 200 out ot a total of 1500 employed by tho Different telegraph companies struck tor higher wages. They now receive two cents a mes age and the night shift 50 cents a night. In addition no payment is made on messages undelivered, the boys vi ant to be paid tor the latter and demand three cents a message and fonr cents for night work. American Expedition is Victorious��� Filipinos Routed. Manila, July 27.-4 p. m.���Au expo dition comprised of troops from Sun Pedro , Macati, Pnsig and Morong, under Brigadier-General R. H, Hall, yesterday captured Colamba, an Important trading town on tho south shore bf Lnguno de Buy. There weio two hours of sharp fighting during which four soldiers were killed anri 12 wounded. The trendies commanding tbo harbor were under wnter bnt tne swampiness of the land made the work harder. The troops borrowed cafeocs on Tuesday night, Tho forcn comprised 400 of the. Washington volunteers, 4<.0 of the 21st infantry, 250 of the 4th cavalry, and two guns of the FirBt Artillery. These with the gunboats assembled opposite Calamba Wednesday afternoon. Crowds of peoplo in carts and on foot were seen rushi-ig to the hills. Nativos escaping from Culambn in onnoes said a hundred insnrgonts held the town. A force under Captain McGrath of 21st infantry and Captain Eltouhord landed east of the town but found a river intervening. Oap- tain McGrath nud Lieutenant Bnlson swam the river under a tire from twenty Xviauscr rifles. Having crossed the stream the officers procured a ens- coe to ferry the troops over. The insurgents retreated through the town shooting from houses and bushes as they fled to the bills. Three members of the VVashingon regiment waded trom the cascoes thringh swamps often shoulder deep while a group of Filipinos concealed in haystacks were shooting at then until the Napidan focused her fourteen pounders and Catling gnus on tho stacks for a few minuteB. Most of the work was done before the Washington volunteers oould reaoh the town. The Filipinos left three dead. Of the cauualities on the Amerioun side two of the killed and wounded belonged to the 2)st infantry. Tbere was much shooting by Araigos, who emerged from the hushes with white Hags. Aftor the fight, a dozen men holding up tneir bands, and shouting "Castillanos," met the American cavalry. Even Spanish soliders greeted the Americans hysterically. There were 50 Spanish prisoners of whom some were civil officers and some were soldiers. They had been given the cboice of joining tbe Fiilipino army or becoming servants to Filipinos, and chose the army, intending to surrender at the first opportunity. Most of tho civilians reached tbe American lines during the fighting but the insurgents took the others away witn them in their retreat. General Hall captured 12 Filipinos with guns. Major General Lawton, Prof. Jjean-Worces- ter, of the American-Philippine Commission. Mrs. Lawton and Gen Law- ton's son aooompanied the expedition on board a launch aud set cooly in an unprotected beat olose to the shore during the fighting, tbe bullets splashing about thorn. Today Gen. Hall brought to Manila tbe Spaniards, whom tbe expedition had released them from captivity of more than a year. Lieutenant Larson, commanding the Napidan, today, found a long missing Spanish gunboat, which had been covered with bushes aud fish nets so as not to resemble a vessel. The Filipinos having met reinforce moms, and thinking that the Americans had evacuated tbe town,descended the hills today intending to reocoupy Calamba. Gen. Hall drove tbem back. Gen. Hall v ill leave a garrison at Oa- "amba. LACROSSE CLUB'S TRIP. They are Beginning to Get Soared at the OoaBt Already. Vancouver News-Advertiser: There'll be the hottest kind of time at Brook- ton Point on Saturday, August 12th, wheu the City lacrosse twelve crosses sticks with tho fast Nelson club. Nobody dare say that anyone of the teams is certain of winning. The outcome of the match is purely speculative. Tbe result of a lacrosse match played under circumstances like those attending the forthcoming game is as nnsate to bet on as a horse race or an election. Tbo ohumpionship of the Canadian Lacrosse Association was won last year by a tenm drilling on the borders of rook-ridden Muskoka. Tho deciding game was the biggest laorosso surprise of the season. Tbe Nelson Miner of July 21 says that Mr. A. E. Suckli ng, of Vancouver, wbb the other night an interested and oritical spectator at the Nelson team's bard practice, aud he expressed Burptise at the numbor and ability of the locai stick handlers. The team will play Vancouver on Saturday, August 12 aud while "Boney " cannot see anyone but Vancouver as winners, he was kind enough to admit that the Nelsons will give the different Coast teams a hot argument, and it won't be for want of oondition if they don't.for the practices are both regular and hard. The game for the championship ot the Province with New Westminster will probably be played in Vanoonver on Angnst 19, as tin conditions here are most favorable. One thing appears certain, and that iB that Nelson expects to win from every team she meets on the Coast. It looks as i* the Nelson-Vancouver game, being tbe first of the series, will be the game of the season from tbe standpoint of interest. '' NEWS FROM FRANCE. Paris, July 27. ���Generals Jamont, nnd Herve, mombers of the supreme council of war, were today reported to have resigned out of sympathy for General de Norgrier who was removed from the supreme counoil of war on Wednesday. This report created much excitement, as it would be almost revolutionary for officers such as these to pursue the course indicated. Prime Minister M.

The Sea Was Too High For tho Small Yachts on Lake St. Louis. Dcrva], Que., July 27.���The race committee for tho Senwanhnku cup decided to cnll the race off today on account of high wind nnd sea. Tho Seawaukhaka cup was offered by the Seawanhaka-Coriuthiau Yacht Club of New York, for races between enroll yaohts of Great Britain and the United States. The first contest was between a yacht from England aud the Amerioan clubs representative aud the latter won. In 189(1 the Royal St. Lawrence Yaoht Club of Montreal challenged for the cup. G. Herrick Duggar designed and sailed the challenge whioh won tbe oup in a series of races in Oyster Bay. Since then the Seawanhaka Club has beeu endeavoring to win it baok but so far without success. Mr. Duggar has designed and sailed the boats that have since retained the cup and the Seawanhaka Clubs representative has been Clinton H. Crane, who als:> designs ajd sui Is his own boats. The races cause intense excitement in the East and are followed by a large number of excuision boats and private crafts. The contests take place in Lake St. Lonis, 14 miles from Montreal. The Royal St. Lawrence yacht club's handsome house is at Dorval, fonr miles below the courso. Mr. Duggan is given the credit for being one of the best, if not the best, designer and sailer in the world. J. Keith Reid of Nelson is about to bnild a yaoht from a design by Mr. Duggan, who is bis life long friend. INTERNATIONAL ATHLETES. Britishers Do Honor to The Departing Contestants. London, July 27.���Members of the Yale-Harvard athletin team, who participated in tho Inter-University contests at the Queen's Club on Saturday, were entertained in the Parliament buildings today, when their clean-cut appearance dieted much admiration from former athletes who are now members of the House of Commons. The American athletes occupied seats in the distinguished visitors gallery of the House of Commons, and subsequently tea was served for them of the terrace where Mr. A. J. Balfour, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, and others joined the party. Mr. Balfour especially evinced interest in the career of the team, asking many questions and expressing a hope that an Oxford-Cambridge team will visit United States next year. Mr. Lees Knowles, M. P., (a former champion half mile ruu- ner) then condncted the team through the buildings. Tonight the American Collegians attended the Prince of Wales theatre in order to see Martiu H.lHarvey's performance of the "Only Way." IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. Ottwaa, Jnly 27.���It ib understood that the Senate Reform resolution will not be gone on witn this sessiou. There was another profitless discussion on preferential trade in the House today on motion for supply. It was started by Mr. McNeill,who refused io accept the resolution which Sir Wilfrid Laurier had given him,and whioh was along tho lines of the recent tariff matter Mr. McNeill wanted tbe resolution confined to tariff preferences only and Sir Wilfrid included other concessions. Mr. McNeil moved his own resolution and flnnllv Sir Charles Tupper got him to withdraw it to see if one which could be nnaniomnsly agreed upon would not be put through. Mr. Edwards made a free trade speed). MUST NOT CARRY FREIGHT. Detroit, Jnly 37.���Judge Lillibridge of the Oironit court today delivered a decision, permanently enjoining the street railway companies trom oarryinSi freight over their lines within the oity. Hitherto the suburban companies oars havo oarried freight over the oity companies lines although there has been no speoial authority for doing so. Mr. Martin,director of the Kootenay Supply Co., returned to Nelson last, uight from a visit to the Coast. An official copy of a telegram to The Miner announcing the retirement into (it is hoped) obscurity of a certain prominent individual���the which was widely circulated last night���has no reference whatever to Mr. Martin or his company.

I ��***���! fir What They Think in England of Kootenay. MR.DRUMMOND'S VIEWS Oapital for Granite Mines Was Over-Subscribed���Kelson Considered the Ooming Town, Mr. O. Drumniond.the managing director of the Duncan MineB, arrived. hero yesterday from England via New York and Spokane. Mr. Drummond was aooompanied by Mr. Archibald, a director of the Queen Bess Proprietary Co., and by Mr. Ernest R. WoakeB, the chief engineer for the Duncan Mines. Mr. Drummond expressed himself to Tbe Miner as much surprised and gratified at the groat advance iu the size of tbe town. But this was nothing more than his company had anticipated for, in Londou, Nelson and Vancouver are considered to be the coming towns of Britih Columbia. Mr. Drummond said that British Columbia mines had now a recognized market on tne London Stock Exchange. British investors were beginning to recognize the value and importance ot properties iu this Provinoe more especially those in Kootenay; in faet Kootenay stood higher in the investors calender than the Klondike. No doubt this was in a great measnre dne to the success of certain mining companies, such as tbe B. A. G, the Hall Mines, the London & B. O. Gold Fields and (he modestly added) bis own oompany. Ab to the recent stagnation following upon the Eight-Hour legislation, h had not as yet had any serious effect upon tbe London market. Those wbo knew the oountry seemed to think tbat the trouble was only transient and that as soon as a few undesirable agitators were removed from high places, things would revert to their former satisfactory status. The flotation of the Granite Gold Mines Limited was a gieat suooess in London. At first, owing to the difficulties with the minors it was feared thnt the public might fight shy of tbe issue. The shares were all underwritten but tbe letters from applicants for shares largely exceeded the issue so the underwriters were immediately relieved by the public. He (Mr. Drummond) personally, though not an engineer, yet had, from reports nnd actual results, an unbounded faith in both the Granite and Royal Canadian mines and confidently looked forward to a large rnturn tor tbe money sunk in them. With regard to the street railway he could give no details as tbe management was entirely in the hands of Mr. F. Peters and Mr. Halifax Hall, his duty beng to see that the linancial part of the concern was well supplied. Hut he could say that all the neoei si ry supplies had been ordered; the cars were to be of the very best quality and would be fitted up regardless of cost, and be confidently expected that they wonld be running before the end of September. Tho British Electric Traotion Company (the parent oouipmy) had such unbounded faith in tbo future prospects of Ne.son that they had decided not to place any Nelson Tramway shares ou the market but keep them all themselves. Mr. WoakeB is a leading authority on silver mining. He bns recently beeu engineer for the Darien and Tol- imi mines in Panama, two large producers. He leaves for the Queen Bobs mine today. Mr. Woakes will make Nolson his headquarters for a considerable time. Mr. Drutninond looks upon his Nelson real estate as a valuable asset. At the present moment all tbe real property purchased in Nelson by tbe Duncan mines is held by a Mr. Gaicke���a prominent man in electrical undertakings iu Londou���and himself. Mr. Drnnimond ia the guest of Captain Duncan and will be in Nelson for about a fortnight. THE AMERICA OUP. London, July 27.���The Yachting World issued today, contains a long ar�� tide on Shamrock's chances in the con* test for the Amerioan Cup. Starting on tbe assumption that Vigilant and Britannia were equal the writer argues that shamrock showed herself to be capuble of beating Britannia in a medernte breeze 25 to 20 minutes over a 80 mile course. With the time allow* auce Shamrock's net superiority wonld be fifteen to twenty minutes. As De* fendor's superiority over Vigilant in sailing the same course is estimated at Bix minutes and Columbia's superiority over Defender is assumed to be three minutes, it is estimated that Colombia's superiority over Vigilant is nine minutes. Therefore, aooording to the Yachting World's artiole, there are excellent grounds for belief that in the present condition of both yachts, Shamrock will win. 1 John .lackwm, Jr., has been appointed United States consnlar agent at Rossland.

The member' bave managed to keep their Becret to themselves, for a wonder; but iu a day or two they will bo vying with each other to see which can give the fullest account of their deliberations. In tbe meantime readers of Tne Miner will have to content themselves with the brief story telegraphed by our oor- r&5jODrtBDt. ��~s. fa*. V^ teU^'VUcl^ but as far as it goos we Bhould be disposed to recommend it as reliable. It is not quite clear who oalled the caucus, whether Mr. Martin and his friends or M<\\ Semlin and fcis friends. If Mr. Martin was the first to Buggest tc leave his case to the arbitration of a party caucus, he doubtless relied with confidence on the support of a majority. What he expeoted to happen next has not appeared, but so long as Mr. Martin triumphed over his enemies he is not the one to oare what happened, even although it rent his party beyond the faintest hopo of repairing. Nor is it clear what any of them expeoted to happen in any case. To sustain Mr. Martin would be vote want of con fldenoe in the Premier; to back up the Premier would not neoessanly mean that Mr. Martin was got rid of. Ho could still withhold bin resignation, and thus compel the Lieutenant- Governor to act between the contending factions. The Miner correspondent wireB in effect that the caneus has determined to drop Mr. Martin. If that turbulent and intractable individual shall decide to aocept chis verdict of hia party, and shall send in his resignation without more ado, the situation will be rendered simple and easy of final settlement. Should he resist, however, it would mean the disruption of the Ministerial party, and either a "coalition" would follow or a new deal would be made, with a dissolution and general eleotion as a nocessary condition. PS ���Mr. Martin has resigned. iostock'B argument will then press for ecognition, backed by the develop- neuts that will evolve themselves in he meantime. Under that measure tbe ircuinstauces of British Columbia vill compel consideration; nnd it nay be that the Kootenays, instead of icing given one member, as iB their ight uow according to population, .uay be entitled to two. SPEAKING IN TIME. Of Atlin and its prospects The Victoria OolouHt says: "The district has hnd a very unfortunate start. At the very outset, thero was u misunderstanding as to whether it was or was not in tbis Proviuce. When tbis was settled a good deal of bad judgment .vas exhibited en the part of the Gold Oommissiouer, from which confusion ultimately resulted. Then the Alien Exclusion law came in operation. When spring opened, and pooplo wore teady to work, everything was bo unsettled that most prospeotors found their hands tied. On top of tbis came ibo extension of the close season and the refusal of the Goverumeut to issue hydraulic leaseB or grant free miners' certificates to corporations intending to engage iu placer mining. Any district, but one in which people had groat confidence, would have been completely kill 3d by such a series of unfavorable events, hut Atlin is coming through it all right aud is demonstrating its right to bo regarded as one of the most promising mining districts on the continent.''

C 0 troubles which affect the principal industry of theProviuce.eveii ?, ��e Behave that, by a denial ��.print may not oame annua to conclude with a short summary of the constitution and objeots of Trade Unions in England at the present day, for they form the basis.of Trade Unions in this conn-1 try. The organization of oanh union is' much the same. It is governed by a general committee or executive council established in some targe town which is the centre ot its parti-julnr industry. Each branch bus a sepaiate Government for special purposes, but for general purposes all branches nre under the oomniaiid of the general committee or executive council. The rev enne for general purposes is deiived from admission fees, subscriptions and flues for neglect of dnty or brenohes of regulations and rules Eor extraordinary purposes, sneli as strikes, ! furds are obtained by levies. Terms of admission vary consider-1 ably iu the different Unions, a speoi-1 fled ago and period of service some-1 times being required The objoots of a Uniun tre twofold. In the first plaoe it is a friendly or benefit sooiety, giving relief to members who, owing to sickness, or acoi- dent, are unable to work. Bometimes superanuatiou allowances are given and invaiiably provision is made for funeral expenses. In tbe seoond place a Union is a trade sooiety or guild. In this capacity its objects are to place the workman on un equality with his employers in the disposition of Ju'r W Wod'day labor, to inorease wages, to diminish ; Jaly 20 Thursday the hours of labor and to bring about I Julr M Friday an equal distribution of work. Tbe methods by wbioh tbese objects are attained are "direct and indirect. The direct method is by strikes, the indirect by limiting tbe number of workmen in any particular trade and disoountenauoing or repressing competition. A union as a rule resents the common employment of union and non-union men but tbis has invariably caused friction with employers. What I have written concerning trade unions has been gathered from personal experience of the Engineers' and Miners' (coal) Unions in England. I have endeavored to give the bare facts leaving comment to those wbo may oare to read these lines. W. F. B. a nound in weight.

With the very liest intentions it is rtillioclt to escape a suspicion of partiality In writing on such a matter as this. But it hi.s occurred to tlio writor that while there nre many opponents ai we,I as champions of the Miuers' Union in Nelson, there may he a few here who have not any knowledge at all ot the history of the growth of Trade Unions in England during the Nineteenth century. And it is just possible that a short sketch of the rise of tin ss great organisations may enable lioth partisans and foes to take a broader "view of Trade Unionh in general. By the common law of England all com hi nations for regulating 'he relations between ninstors nnd nieu or for imposing restrictive conditions on the roiiduct of any industry or business were, with viry few aud n 11 import ant exceptions, illegal. Mark the word, combination. It was the combining that constituted tho unlawful act, and those who were found guilty of so combining were snhjected to fines und Imprisonment, It mattered not whethtr employers or employees were the guilty parties, the law was, in that icspeot, 110 rospecter of persons. It was immaterial if the end the men had in view was to determine the rate of wages or to limit the amouut of work; whether the means was the Bim; iillaneous withdrawal from employ- I meat, the endeavoring to prevent' others resuming or taking employment or the attempting to control masters in the management of trade and commerce; a combination formed to 8*feot these ends was a criminal conspiracy. From the reign of Edward I, to Oeorge IV, the common law was enforced and enlarged hy as many as lifi (lifTcient statutes all designed, more or less, to prevent the organisation of labor. Towards the end of the last century the rise of manufacturing systems and the consequent revolution in industrial arrangements caused n vast extension in tho number of laborers. Secret societies among workmen were numerous and active, so muoh so that in the -Klli vein of the reigu of George HI, a stringent statute was passed which subjected all persons oonvioted of combining to advance wages, or decrease the quantity of work, or to effect anil control manufacturers or traders, to three weeks' imprisonment. In 1H24, owing to tbe discontent and disorder which followed the invention of steam and improved mechanical appliances, a sclent committee of the House ot Commons was appointed to enquire into the origin of the trouble. This committee found that the Editor of The Miner: Sir���I observe in yonr issue of today that a oorrespondent again brings forward the East Baker street question. Might I suggest that, when tbe matter comes before the Oity Council, they should deal with it in a hnsinoss- like manner. For a still longer time than this removal has been under discussion an agitation has been unsuccessfully going ou with regard to the powder magazine, which has also been looked ou as a danger to the Oity. The owners of the magazine now seem to be prepared to vacate on receiving certain compensation and if a similar proposition were made in this matter it might, be the means-of bringing atmnt n settlement satisfactory to all concerned. I wonld therefore propose that if the Council were to appoint two arbitrators of experience and | knowledge of local property we might expect in a short time that tbis business would be settled quietly and without inconvenience. With regard to securing a new tract of land, a difficulty arises, owing to tbe natural conformation of the town and to tie fact tbat when the townsite was selected by Mr. G. M. Sproat he could not have forseen the possibility of such a contingency arising. However, having pointed out the first stage to a practi cal solution of a question, I am satisfied to leave the further detail for future discussion. P, O. HAFFERTY. Nels'-U, July 27.

"Masters and workmen should be treed from Biioh restrictions as regards the rate of wages and hours of work- inn, and lie left at perfeot liberty to make such agreements as they mutually think proper." Tlie offending statutes were accord-1 iniily reiienhd by an amending statuto which was viewed with disfavor by the Tory party and described by one of tlieir leaders (I think it was the Duke of Wellington) as "unconvenient, for unliable and alarming. " Another committee was then formed and the old statutes were re-enacted with certain modifications, This state of affairs continued up to IHiill when tho Manchester and Sheffield outrages called for a Boyal Commission which finallv ended in the Trade Union Acts of 1871 and 187(1. The gist of these statutes is that people oan lawfully combine to do what, as private individuals, it would not 1 e unlawful for them to do.

This company has been incorporated at |600,000 iu 2,00(1,000 shares of 35 cents each of which 1,000,000 shares aro set aside to bo sold to dovelop the Company's property. The officers are as below : VV. G. White, London, Eng., chairman; J. K. Saucier, Rossland, vice-chairman ; J. A. Turner, Nelson, Hnss Thompson, Rossland, and E. N Uuimette, Rossland. The consulting engineer is A. M. Bouillon, M. E., with Eugene Croteuu, of Ymir, superintendent. The head office of the company is at Rossland. The property consists of five claims and are located oue and one-half miles Bouth east of the town of Ymir, on Jubilee Mountain. The property has been surveyed aud application made for a Crown Grart. Hrofessor J. G. Garvin, M, B., who reported ou the property, speaks as follows: The country rock consists of slate, schists and thorite. Most of the development work has been done on the 13ruce vein, which is large and well defined. There are two open cuts and oue shaft. The first cut is five feet deep, exposing a very promising ledge of quartz, iron pyrites aud galena, seven and a half feet between wallB. The vein is not frozen but there is a parting ot oxides between the walls and vein. The two opeu cuts aro about 78 feet apart from each other, and 150 feet north east thare is a shaft 10 feet deep sunk ou the vein. This shaft is sunk on mineral. The vein runs N. E, and S. W. and has a vertical dip. Assays range from $14.85, $2.0, $18.80 up to $18.14. The property is well thought of hero in Ymir and as work is to be commenced immediately there is no doubt, with the present showing which they have, chat good and paying mineral will soon be enconntererl. It is understood that the Socond Relief mine has been sold to Gooderham- Blackstock of Toronto. This property has been developed by Messrs. Finob & Campbell of Spokane, and is now in a position to ship regularly. During the past winter considerable ore was shipped which averageo $770, the principal values running in gold. Tbe property has been shut down for the past two months, pending negotiations for the purohase. i ho consideration is withheld. It is tho intention of the new owners to work thiB property ou an extensive scale. Messrs. Eoote & Strong located on the 1st of July the Belvidere & Rock- foid mineral cltii.n situated at tbe head of the third Bouth fork of Porcupine oreek. This property is about one mile south of the Big Path mineral claim. Already the owners have made an open cut on the ledge 12x14x8 feet. The ledge is 10 feet in width and the quartz carries galeua, oopper and iron. They are taking out two pack horBes with supplies and intend to do considerable work on the property as the showing ia au exceedingly rich one. * ��� * A correspondent writes the Miner: "I venture to give you an interesting fact which should give a very fair idea of tho working capabilities of the smelter men aud prove of interest to many. Something like 10 months ago four men, ono a Swede, one a Welshmen, oue a Canadian and one an Englishman, invested in four claims and after hard work rapidly doveloped them : until now each has taken out a lump of maiden ore showing a weight of close on seven pounds, with a fervent hopo of further profit from the same claim. This speakB for itself aud I oan verity tho staterueut at any time so required." * # * 3 Mr. Cirkel, a German mining engineer, who represents Mr. J. B. McLar-- ] (the owner ot the "only cheese , eto") arrived in Nelson yesterday en route to the Simalkameeu distriot. Mr. Cirkel has been visitiug the Humboldt claims near Crawford creek He expressed himself as very pleased with the property but had no particulars for publication except that development work whb being pushed rapidly ahead theri. He considers that the Silver Hill is a very promising prop erty and will probably exceed the expectations of its owners. * * * Now York, July 27.���Lead, steady; brokors, $4.i)o; exchange, $4.65 to $4.57.

The Miner's Special Correspondence From the World's Money Oentr3. (Special Correspondence.) London, July 15.���Since my last letter very little change can be announced. The Bank of England have thought fit to put up the bank rate to 'A% Per cent, and the tone of the market is weak with the further expectation of going to 4 per cent, next week. Home railways have mover] but little and foreign stock is almost lifeless. American rails bave been very irregular with very little buying ou this side. The only feature is the amalgamation of the New York Central with the Pennsylvania railway. Canadian Pacific and Trunks are also very dull. In the mining market iu West Australians considerable amount of business has been done especially in the low priced shares. Iu the African market everyone seems to look or are rather waiting for the next move by the Imperial Government. In the B. O. mining market although they have not been given to any active deulngs the tone for these has been pretty firm. Le Roi, however, have reacted, although the latest news from the mine cannot bo considered as otherwise than satisfactory. B. A. C. are hardening. Fair busiupesa has been passing in Ymir. but Athabasca are comparatively dull. Fractional ira- provanibts are marked in Hull Mines Klondike Bonanza, and Alaska Goldfields. All the other B. C. shares are about the same figure. Copper is marked higher but from the reception of some of the new copper companios issues tbey have not been caught on by the investing public as in the majority of issues tho underwriters bave been let in. Thorn have been several new companies issued this w'eck, viz: British Oil and Coke Mills, Ltd, sh ire capital ��2,350,000, which is an amalgams tion of some very old firms in tin trade some dating from 1780.
