Tenth Year TURNED AIM DOWN HID The Martin Government Overwhelmingly Defeated-Only Seven Straight Government Supporters Succeed in Winning Out. Straight Conservatives Will Have the Biggest Following in the New House, Thirteen of Them Having Been Elected. Vancouver, B. C, Jnne 9.���The Martin Government has "been overwhelmingly defeated as a result of today's election for members of the Provincial Parliament. The Legislature is composed of 38 members, and at midnight returns have been received from 35 constituencies, indicating the election of 28 Opposition and only seven straight supporters of the Government. The three scats which are still in doubt will probably return Opposition members. Premier Martin does not acknowledge defeat but claims his ability to induce half a dozen members-elect counted among the Opposition to support his Government upon a vote of want of confidence in the House. The straight Conservatives will have the strongest individual following in the next Parliament, having elected 13 members. Martin, the Premier, is elected in Vancouver, as is also Smith Curtis, Minister of Mines, in Rossland district, and J. C. Brown, of Westminster, Minister of Finance. Two of the Ministers, Yates, of Victoria, and Beebe, of Yale, arc defeated. Charles Wilson, leader of the Convervatives, and F. L. Carter-Cotton, leader of the Provincial Party, are both defeated in Vancouver City, where Mayer Garden led the poll in the Conservative interest. Many predict that when the House meets and the Government has been overthrown upon a vote of want of confidence, that then either ex-Premier Turner, of Victoria, Mayor Garden, of Vancouver, of H. D. Helmcken, of Victoria, will be called upon to form a Conservative Government. IN THE ORIENT. The Situation ln China Is Considered Distinctly Grave. (nV ASSOCIATK.II I'UMSS.) London, June 0.���The situation in Chiim tonight appears distinctly graver. The destruction of a Russian eliapel at Tang Tlngan hns provided Russia with the desired pretext to land more troops. The despatches from St. Petersburg this afternoon that the Government is resolved, If the dangerous situation in China continues, to take Immediate military action to repress the anti-foreign movement, at the same time declaring that it has no intention of disassociating itself from the Joint actions of the Powers, may he regarded as a seini-ollieial utterance, meaning if there is any hesitancy on the part of the Powers. Russia will act alone. All reports agree that the "Boxer" movement is spreading. The report is confirmed that the French agents at Mong Tse and Yun Man Fu have been compelled to retire, and this shows that the ferment has reached southwestern China and has provoked France into taking active steps. Sir Claude MaoDonald, the British Minister at Pekin, has wired the British Consul nt Shanghai continuing the report of the outrages nnd the fnot that the Throne nnd Government have been notunted by a secret sympathy with the Boxer movement, which the Government hns nmple power to suppress if it so desires. His despatch, however, is in no way of nu alarming nature. The latest Tien Tsin despatches saying that the Dowager Empress hns appointed anti-foreign generals with the pretended mission to suppress the "Boxers" make it Impossible to doubt thnt the time has arrived for energetic action. It is expected that the British Government will utilize the Chinese regiment which has been in training at Wei Hal Wei. as it would he dangerous to remove the garrison from Hong Kong at the present time. A special despatch from Shanghai. dated June Otb, says; "The Tsung Li Yemen has protested to the ministers against the presence of such a large number of foreign forces, asserting tbst It osnnot be only for the protection ot tbe Legations, but (or tbo establishment of a garrison in tbe Capital of an independent friendly state. The answer which the foreign ministers returned to this protest is unknown, The American mission at Pic Tang pOhow was destroyed yesterday hut the missionaries lied to a place of safety. It is reported that the Viceroy of Chi Li has resigned. It is proposed to bring l.i Hung Chang hack from the south hut Prince Kang Yi proposes to give the post to the infamous Li Ping Seng, the former Governor of Bhang Tung. Pao Ting Ru iu burning. The Tien Tsin Railway hns finally oeased to be operated. All the English missionaries are eunnmped inside tbe Legation." St. Petersburg, June 9���It is deolnred here that the Government is resolved, if tlie dangerous situation in China continues, to take immediate energetic military action to repress the anti-foreign movement. At the same time the Qovernment bus no intention of disassociating itself from the joint action of tho Powers. London, June !).���The Ohinose situation, whioh, at the beginning of the week, was meroly a small cloud on tbe international horizon,now overshadows overy other topic in England. According to most authorities,save those who control her foreigu policy, England is face to face witb a crisis in the Far Enstern affairs, which, though it may not result in any immediate partition of China, must demand the part that England shall piny when the partition eveutually occurs. That each an emergency should hnve arisen at a moment when England is least able to utilize it, wheu almost all her land forces are six thousand miles from home, and when there is a paramount necessity for keeping an extia strong fleet in European waters is deplored by nil shades of statesmen and politicians. Lord Salisbury stands almost alone amidst bis own party in believing that the results of the Boxer outbreak will be neither serious nor permanent. The attitude be adopts towards tho unanimous agitation for stronger action is voiced by an intimate friend who said to a representative of the Associated Press: "Lord Salisbury helieves we should be thankful for small favors. The co-operation of the diplomats and naval authorities on the spot seems to be perfect and unusually harmonious. So long aa that satisfactory Btate of affairs continues he will be eminently satisfied and will take no other steps unffcss one or several of the powers ask Great Britain's assistanco to a scheme which appears feasible, or unless Russian aggression becomes much more pateut than it is now. When these contingencies occur, tbe representatives of the various nations at Pekin failing to agree, then they will have the right to resume the initiative. At present they agree in u smooth progress of the negotiations at the seat of the'disturbnnces and implicitly trust iu Mir Claude McDonald, the British Minister to China. It may be added that Oreat Britain's Premier is not particularly optimistic regarding the length of time the various ministers and admirals iu the far East will co-operate so admirably, but Lord Salisbury is far too philosophical to borrow trouble as he is committed to the opportunist policy, pure and simple in the far East, of not crossing bridges before he comes to them.

Leads Fletcher by 223 Votes and Dr. Hall by 433-Dr. Hall Loses His Deposit. The election in the Nelson Riding yesterday resulted in the success ofjohnHouston,the Provincial party candidate, who lead Frank Fletcher hy 223 votes and Dr. Hall by 434. There were in all 1,518 votes cast, of which Mr. Houston secured 725, Frank Fletcher 502 and Dr. Hall 292, the latter losing his deposit. Mr. Houston's big vote was a surprise to himself and his supporters, and needless to say was a surprise to the other candidates and their supporters. There was a very large vote polled in Nelson, the figures reaching 1,139. Of these Mr. Houston got 541, Mr. Fletcher 380, Dr. Hall 218. When the result of ihe contest was known the Houston supporters immediately organized a parade and with flaming torches and a hand of music marched up and down the streets. At the Hume Hotel corner the parade came to a halt and, after a demonstration lasting several minutes, Mayor Houston rose in his carriage and addressed the gathering. He thanked them for their support and promised to faithfully and well care for their interests. If was long after midnight before the Houston men finished their celebration. The vote in the Nelson Riding, with Yellowstone Mine yet to be heard from, was as follows: PLACE VOTING, Houston I Fletcberj Hall Creston Kitchener Athabasca Ymir Mine Waneta Ymir Kuskanook Porto Rico Procter Salmo, Erie and Arlington.

He was no deafer when be loft than be was any time during recent years.

Wholesale and Retail Meat Merchants BRACKMAf l.lMITKh,- The Miner has no doubt thai every elector who marked a ballot yesterday was animated by a sincere desire to advance the general public interest. If all did not |vote the same way it was because they differed in judgment as to the best manner in which to do this. A very considerable majority of the electors believed that Mr. Houston would represent them to most advantage at Victoria, and that gentleman was accordingly elected. Let us hope that they will not be disappointed, The Miner is as strongly convinced after the event as it was before it that the interests of the Riding and of the Province would have been best served by the election of Mr. Fletcher. It hasno quarrel, however, with those who thought differently. Its own fortunes nre bound up with those of the community in which it lives, and the fortunes of the community depend largely, if not entirely, on the prosperity of the Province. If the election of Mr. Houston will do as much towards promoting that prosperity as would the election of any other candidate, there will be no cause for regrets hereafter. It is most significant that the two Ministers who are most open to attack, Mr. Sifton and Mr. Tarte, have taken great pains to absent themselves during the closing session of the present Parliament. If Mr. Mills had also taken French leave, it would have been possible to escape that commission to inquire into those corrupt practices in West Huron and Brockville that have shocked a public conscience that is by no means too sensitive. In the absence of the Minister of Justice, the Premier would have been able to make a fairly plausible excuse for inaction.

The Martin Government is defeated as everybody expected, but Mr. Martin himself is a survivor. The greatest surprise of the election is the defeat of Mr. Mackintosh in Rossland,which will stand for many a day as the most striking piece of political insanity in the records of the Province. The defeat of the two leaders, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Cotton, is, perhaps, less a surprise than a novelty. There is hope in the result of a Government strong- enough to insure steady andeffective administration foi the next four years. But it can be predicted with considerable confidence that the experience of the campaign has convinced the people of British Columbia that government on party lines cannot be introduced too soon. Yesterday's was probably the last mongrel election the Province will ever know. Mr. Sifton has returned from Vienna to London, and is expected to sail for home soon.

Mr. Taylor said that the Member for London, Mayor Beat- tic, told him no flag was there. The House then went into committee on tbe Civil Service Bill. .This bill provides for a great number of employees that can be appointed, ranging from Sinn for temporary and 81,100 for second-class This grade would be called junior clerks. Then it waa intended to make the maximum for packers SHOu instead of $.100, and also a maximum for messengers of $1100. Colonel Prior brought up the question of Chinese Immigration, suggesting tbat tbe Chinese poll tax he increased to $.100, and something like the Natal Act being put ill force to keep out the Japanese. Premier Taurier said tbat the Government would introduce a bill ou Monday dealing with this manner. He, however, could not see the position taken by Colonel Prior in the matter. If tbe Natal Act was adopted there was no need of an incrense in capitation tax because the Natal Act would keep out the Chinese and Japanese. The present relations of Britain and A YANKEE OPINION. Gives Reasons For British Supremacy In the Future, A night or two since I enjoyed the almost forgotten experience of hearing Groat Britain spoken of in friendly tones, writes n correspondent of the London Dally Mail. Around tbe largo centre table of tho cafe, which is at once onr home aud olub In tbiH littlo German town, were grouped French, German nnd Spanish visitors. To these, later on, joined himself a Yankee���I uso tho word in its U.

The latest nowi from the front bad just been posted up, and bad, of course, reopened tbe eternal subject ol the war, and for hours flowed a conseless stream of hitter words, of ten in Kiench.more often in Uormftu, but always to tbe same effect���the probability of a European coalition against England "after the Exposition," contemptuous references to our petty army '���great only in her only to the weak, " diatribes ; to our nation, wealth and brave and all the stock of continental hate. I have long since ceased disputing with them; understanding that tbe name mentioned dis satisfied secure Japan were not to be disturbed, and it was not desirable that they should when Britiau was engaged in war. He would ask if it was any use to do anything that might injure the harmony that prevailed and when the friendly assistance of Japan wus looked for. He did not want to Bay anything about it until it was introduced. On the mounted police estimates in Yukon, Premier Laurier said that it was intended to increase the number of police by 850 in tbe Yukon on account of the withdrawal of the military. The Superintendent was iu charge. There were two districts, Dawson and Tagish. Wood was in charge at Dawson and Primrose at Tagish.

Tracing tbe history of tbo war, he pointed out Unit the Dutch in tbe Transvaal were us much British subjects as were tbe people of Canada, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, in seconding tbo address, hoped that peace would bo established before the end of tbe session and that Her Mnjcstv might reign mnny years. The address was unanimously adopted Sir Hibbert Tupper wbo hns been confined to his room for the pnst two days, is able to be around again, on the of the Queen is never respectfully they are free to kill all England "with their month" without disturbing my placidity ; but the Yankee seemed interested and, about midnight, he began to talk; because of bis, nation, he was listened to in comparative quiet, though his conclusions were very unexpected.

England has been sleeping very comfortably, with her toy army, and feeling behind tbe bulwarks of her tremendous fleet.

Bishop Tucker Has a Gorman Trader Arrestod ln Africa. London, June 8���The well-known African Bishop Tucker, writing from TJnganda on March 28, gives a good example of how the aborigines learn to bate and fear tho whites. During a long journey the Bishop learned that a (lermiin trader was sending out an expedition to capture some pigmies of the Great Forest and exhibit them at the I'm is Exposition. Tbo Bishop was unable to interfere and returned to I'liganda. Subsequently be beard of a trader in pigmies in Mengo. lie immediately organized an expedition and Interviewed a Christian Uganda. The head man of tbe German caravan learned of this, and when Bishop Tucker's expedition arrived in tbe forest, the Germans were there ahead of them. The Germans beat their drums, and after a while u few little people of shy appearance came out to partake of n feast which had been made for them, When they did so seventeen of them were seized by tbe German trader, and the march to Mengo began. On the way nine of tbe pigmies escaped. They were pursued and recaptured by the bishop, who took them as evidence to the British Commissioner, Sir Harry Johnson. The result was that the pigmies were released and sent home, while the (lermnn trader was arrested, and when the mail l��ft he wub awaiting trial. In writing of the affair, Bishop Tucker says he never heard of anything more like slave trading. PHOENIX NEWS. you and Phoenix, B. 0��� June 8���One of tho mines in Phoenix enmp which is at trading a good deal of attention is the Snowshoo adjoining tho Gold Drop, just cast of here. On the recommendation of J. W. Astley, mining engineer, this property, which bad formerly been bonded to Patrick Clark and others, was bonded to Anthony J. Mc- Milliun, who represented the Kossland and Slocan (B. C.) Syndicate, Limited, composed of wealthy capitalists of London, England. The price named in the bond was $70,000, and development was immediately started. On April 1st last the final payment of $17,800 came due ou the bond, and was promptly met. Mr. McMillan spent last winter in London, nnd wus there when tbe last payment was made. A few days ago he visitod the proporty and expressed much satisfaction at tbe development done in lm absence, under the superintendence of J. H. Trovoriow. Thus far there hns been about 1400 feet of work done. Tbo property is opened up by a main inoline shaft, whioh has| been put down 200 feet. Drifts have beeu run north nnd south from the Io0 and 200-foot levels and large ore bodies opened up. A short time ago a new tunnel was started below where tho railway graders for the Phoenix spnr had cut a fine ore body. This tunnel ia in about 2(10 feet, the last Mil feet of which has been driven] through solid ore. On the 2(>0-foot level the east aud west erossouts from the south drift liiivi also disclosed largo bodies of first olass cbalcopyrlte. A drift is being rnn from tbo loo-foot level which we have heard so much recently, the will be connected with the surface bv a raise, and also connected with the 2i)(i foot level in tbe ore body. Tbe management of the Ruow9hoe has decided to put in n large boiler, and the machinery agents are now figuring on one ol 70-borse power, which will give tbo needed power for tlit-Jiilr compressor, pumps uud hoist. This should be installed in a month or six weeks. The returns from tbe two cars of ore shipped from tbo Snoesboo last winter wen- very encouraging. ...STILL AT IT... church mmccToitv.

I could step from Belgium to Holland, and from Holland to Belgium. If England's neighbor! could step like that over the fence into her farmvard, she would have live million men to take care of her cattle. Now.
