THE DAILY NEWS VOL. 1. NELSON, B. C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1,1903. NO. 280 LIKE BATS INA TBAP Workmen Burned to Death in a Pit Awful Disaster at Carnegie Steel Works Pittsburg, Mnrch SI.—The accident nt furnace 1 of the Edgar Thompson plant, of the Carn-egie Steel Company, at Brad- dock today, Is expected to prove one of the worst In the history of the plant in the number of deaths resulting. Twenty men were injured, six of whom are dead, and ten ure Jn the hospital and nro not exp< cted to recover. The other Injured men went lo their homes and aro suffering from painful burns. Tho aoldent was caused by n "hand" In tho furnace dropping and forcing large (lunntiUes of white hut dust down a large pipe into n pit where tho men were at work. Tho victims wero caught like rats In a trap, and were without means of escape nnd all were burned and blistered over their entire bodies. The cries of agony of the victims could he heard for nearly a block away. Hundreds of workmen from other portions of the plant rushed to the rescue of tholr fellows and as quickly as possible pulled them from the pit nnd carried them to the emergency hospital. Seven of the men wero completely \tiudc when their bodies reached the hospital and the others Iiad but a few shreds of clothing on them. Tho bodies of the fatally burned could scarcely bo recognized as such. They were blackened or shredded in strips hy the white hot metal lhat burned Into their flesh. Mnny of them hnd large blotches burned through the flesh caused by th* large splashes of molten Iron that had struck them and burned through to the bones. THE STRIKE SETTLEMENT CHRIS FOLEY ANTICIPATES NO FURTHER TROUBLE. MEN HAVE MADE MATERIAL GAINS lii THE AOKElilM^Ni. Messrs. Keen, Foley, Seaman, and M0- Andrews, members of the conciliation commltteo returned from Fernie last night. Messrs, Keen and McAudrews went on board the Kaslo boat Immediately upon arrival and left by her this morning for i -home. Messrs. Foley nnd Seaman go over to Rossland by the morning train. Mr. Foley will remain there a duy or two and then go to the coast, Chris Foley, In tho course of a chat over tho committee's work at Fernie, expressed the opinion tlint the settlement arrived nt would prove effective for the full period of two yenrs. On the whole h* considered thnt tho men had gained ma- , terial advantages by tlie agreement, Of ' course they hnd not secured everything thoy asked for bat the greater part of their demands were conceded, The Michel and Morrissey men made gains In the matter of pay, whilst a slight reduction wna i] enforced at the Conl creek mines. In this case, however, highly paid men suffer a little reduction whilst tho men nt Michel and Morrissey, who were not making such good wages get nn Increase, Further, other advantages were secured ln the matter of conditions of inhor, which, In Mr. Foley's opinion will more than make up to the Conl creek miners what thoy lost by tho direct cut in wages. If both sides to the agreement live up to their undertakings Mr. Foley thinks there need bo no fear of labor troubles in that section for many yeurs to come. At the time [ho left Fernie tho Coal creek miners had not officially given In their adherence to the agreement but he anticipated that they would do so, as it would be fatal to their Interests to stand out. In reference to the rioting at Coal creek some few days back, Mr. Foley said the reports sent out to the eastern nnd coast pnpers had been very wide of tho mark. As a matter of fnct only a handful of mon participated in tlie disturbance. Thore wns nothing to show thnt any of them carried fire arms, nnd no ono wns hurt. There had been three arrests mnde. The men wero released on bail and two of them had since skipped out. Ho did not know of nay action being taken by tho authorities to investigate the matter hut thought it likely that something would be done in thnt direction. AINSWORTH HAPPENINGS. Highland Concentrator Running Night And Dny—Work nt tho Mines. Alnsworth, March 30.-One of the C. P. R. barges enme to the Highland concentrator today, to tnke n load of concentrates'to the Hnll Mines smelter. Thin mill, which wns stopped for a long time owing to the lack of water lu Cedar creek, is now running night and day, as there Is an abundance of wnter. While the mill wns not running there was not much doing nt tho mine, but a full force of men Is now employed there. . Work will commonco at the Highlander mlno as soon as the snow goes away, but 4t will probnbly not be gone for two or three weeks yet. It is expected thnt the mill will be worked to Its full capacity, and that regular shipments of concentrates will bo made. It is to be presumed that many of the men formerly employed Vn that mine will find steady work there during the coming summer. They are still doing development work at the No. 1, hut aro having some difficulty with their pump, which is not working well. The road between here and the No. 1 hns not been used all winter, and is, of course, impassible. The trail is also Impas sable now for horses, owing to the softness of tlie snow, and it is difficult to take provisions to that mine. Tho trail to the No. 1 pusses the place of Judge Hatch, who failed to secure a stock of food in time for Ids horse, and now finds it extremely difficult to feed that animal. J. Stewart arrived here a day or two ago from the liend of Coffee creek, where he has been engaged' all winter in trapping animals for their furs. He secured ten vory tine martens, and hns just gone back with the expectation of securing more and also of getting somo bears. Cuugars and lynxs have been plentiful In this neighborhood this winter. I. Holland shot several of the latter ln the immediate vicinity of the town. He shot one a few days ago. Messrs. Dan and James Grant nro here from Woodberry creek, having been driven out of there by the great quantity of snow, as were also Messrs, William, James and Sam English, who ore now ln Knlso. They worked on their claims until the great depth of the snow made them fear snow slides, and then came out. . The Woodberry company had four men employed all winter doing development work. A pnrty, consisting of the leading bear hunters of Alnsworth, will leavo here in a few day** for Woodberry creek, where they expect to add lo their reputation In the line of boar hunting. William Roberts, formerly superintendent of the Bluebell, and now one of tlio owners of tho Continental mlno, opposite Port Hill, Idaho, and close to the International boundary line, spent a day at tlie Bluebell recently looking for specimens of oro, of which he obtained several sacks. Ho met with nn unfortunate accident, while passing from the steamboat to the shore, us he fell Into the water up to his neck, und hnd to build a tire and dry his clothing beforo he could proceed with his search for specimens. The late James Donaldson, who died recently In Nelson, wns a son-in-law of John Scott, of this town. Mrs. Frank Fitch, who lias been 111 for a long time, wns taken from here to the hospital In Nelson a fow days ago to have an operation performed. The operation was entirely successful, and Mrs. Fitch bids fair to recover her health In a short time. La grippe has had possession of the town for somo time, many persons, both young nnd old, being laid up with it. Most of those afflicted aro now bettor, hut some ure still confined to their rooms. Vt the British Columbia government through the proper officials, does not at onco tnko steps to preserve some of the roads hero therc'wlll soon be no ronds to preserve. This is emphatically a case In which a stitch in timo will save nine. It will cost very little to mnke tlio roads fiwuro if ar"1" ••" taken rr-imptly, but it will cost mnny dollars to make new ronils If action da deferred. The main street would hnve beon entirely washed away the other night if the citizens had not gono oat with lanterns nnd shovels, and taken steps to remedy matters. As it was tho ditch at the side which was choked up, washed away one foot of the roadway in twenty minutes, in a few hours the whole rond way would have beon gono. Tho road lending from Mr. King's hotel pust the church to thc top of the hill will probnbly be renedered impassnblc by mud slides unless steps bo taken Immediately to prevent such n thing from happening. The rond Is cut out of the hill side. Tlie upper soil, which is completely soaked with wnter, nnd from which many small streams of water are running, rests on a subsoil of clay, and all this upper soil will bo wnshed off the clay on the road unless something be done. The water should not be allowed to come down In so many streams. It should Jie diverted Into one. Tho offlclnls who hnve charge of tho roads In this district should attend to tho matter nt once. Things hnve been dull here this winter from a business point of view, but a succession of little parties hns served to enliven tho place socially. The culmination of the series was a dance given by tlie bachelors of the town, which wns a pronounced success. I. C. R. EMPLOYEES Wont an Increase in Wages—Committee of the Men Now nt Moncton.

TROUBLES OF TRAVELERS. Tlio Crow's Nest Pass Line is Badly Blocked by Mud Slides. W, J. Ball, of Tacoma, who left Nelson early Sunday morning for Fernie, returned to the city last evening, not having got past Sirdar. The steamer on Sunday reached the landing on time, but there was no train there to moot the passengers. After waiting on the pier all afternoon, and after many false alarms lhat the train was coming, a headlight was at last seen coming across the long trestle connecting the wharf at the landing with the line at Sirdar. This was about S p.m. and everyone was more than tired of waiting. When tlie long looked for train arrived it proved to be nothing more than an engine and a boxcar which wns all there was available at Sirdar, and which hud been sent to take tho passengers as far ns the station mentioned where there Is a hotel. At Sirdar the wait for the trnln was continued till yesterday afternoon at two o'clock when It appeared from the east having on board two days' passengers and malls. Mr, Ball and a ^couple of tho others who had been waiting at Sirdar decided not to take any further chances and returned to Nelson without completing their journey. The worst place appears to bo a short distance beyond Kitchener, where there is a long hill side of "gumbo" which keeps sliding down on the track In a steady stream as It melts. After thc truck hnd been clenred yesterday for the train, and while It wns crossing the hill side referred to, an immense section of frozen mud rolled down in front of tho engine causing half an hour's further delay before it wus clenred off. The steamer Nelson arrived In the city at 10.115 bringing in nnother lot of passengers who hnd arrived at the landing on the regular Tuesday's train. THE REDISTRIBUTION. Committee of the House "Will Decide Upon the Political Boundaries. [Special to The Dally News.] Ottawa, March 31.—The redistribution bill which was presented to parliament contains a provision to refer the dividing up of counties into con-' stituencies to a special committee of parliament. In a county where two or three members will be returned the question as to political boundaries within the constituency will be referred to this committee. This will greatly facilitate the passing of the bill, and will do much to remove opposition which might otherwise arise. In the bill of 1898, which was defeated hy the senate, there was a proposition to give this work to a commission of judges. Ou this occasion a special committee of the house will do the work Instead, TO BUILD COPPER REFINERY BRITISH CAPITALISTS WILL ERECT PLANT AT MONTREAL. MACHINERY NOW BEING PRODUCED IN GLASGOW. Montreal, Mnrch 31.—Within the next three months a plant will be established either In Montrcnl or nt Shawnlgan for the conversion ot crude black copper into refined copper, to be followed by tlie establishment of extensive works for the manufacture of the free copper into sheets and tubes. J. F. Hnrdman hns just received a, communication from C. K. Mllbourne, a British capitalist, who was here last summer looking out for a site for a plant which ho Is desirous of establishing In Canada fur refining of copper by electricity. When In Montreal last summer Mr. Mil- bourne was In consultation with tho heads of the J. It. Wilson company, Jns. Robert- sou company, sir Thomas Shaughnessy, and others, with regard to thc works that he proposed to establish. His Idea llien was to bring the invention of the process out to Montreal and have thc plant manufactured here. He has, however, since tie- elded that it would be preferable to have the plant constructed ln Glasgow and It is now being produced at tho engineering works of Watson, Laldlaw & Co., who will have It ready In timo for erection either in Montreal or Shawnlgan iu June. Mr. Hard- man stated that this method of copper treatment is quite new and frees copper from other minernls by a method not dissimilar from that by which the lead is freed from other compositions in matte at the Trull smelter.

COBBETT STILL Knocks Out McGovern in the Eleventh Round Enormous Crowd Witnessed the Fight Mechanics Pavilion, San Francisco, March 31.—Young Corbett Is still the featherweight champion of the world. He was given the decision over Terry McGovern in tonight's contest in the eleventh round. The light was an exciting one from start to finish, and some ill-feeling was aroused over the counting out of McGovern, many of his supporters claiming that he was up hefore the call of time. Neither of tho combattants suffered severely. By 8:30 o'clock, when the contestants in the first preliminary entered tho ring, the big amphitheatre was packed with a cheering Impatient crowd. Outside a drizzling rain was falling but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the crowd which stretched for half a block oither sldo of the door and even blocked the streets In front. It was estimated at that time that nearly 11,000 people were Inside the hall, the biggest crowd that ever saw a fight ln San Francisco. Reports from McGovern's and Corbett's headquarters wcro equally bright. Both men had rested' quietly nfter weighing in this afternoon and expressed absolute confidence In the outcome. The first preliminary was a ten round fight between "Dixie Kid," a colored welterweight from Los Angeles and "Eddie Cain," of Brooklyn, McGovern's sparring partner. "Dlxlo Kid," won in tho second round with a straight right to the jaw. Cain was not out but when ho went down ho turned his ankle badly and was unable to get up. Tho sprain wns a bad one aud it was necessary to carry Cain from the ring. Tho second preliminary, a six round go between Cal Mejlm and Jimmy Carroll, .Ir., both of San Francisco, was declared a draw. There was tho usunl crop ot challenges to the winner. At 9:40 Young Corbett attended by Alex Oreggalns, TlttY .vioGfuw, Billy Ott, and Harry Tuthlll entered the ring. There was but little demonstration when the champion clambered through the ropes and cooly tested the canvass covering tbo ring floor before choosing his corner. His choice was the northeast. Rosy cheeked and clear eyed, with muscles playing like bands beneath his skin, Corbett looked the perfect athlete. At 9:52 amid a mighty roar from tho crowd, McGovern climbed through the ropes accompanied by Sam Harris and his seconds, Charlie Mac- Hood, Eddie Cain and Joe Agelo. Terry turned around once or twice, rubbed his nose reflectively, then walked to Corbett's corner and solmenly offered his hand, Corbett took It, but It was evident that there was not the friendliest feeling in tho world between them. Both had their hands heavily bandaged. As McGovern slipped off his sweater, his perfect condition was apparent. He claimed he was trained to the hour and ho looked it. Corbett looked at least three or four pounds the heaviest, and there was probnbly that much difference ln their weight when Ihey answered the gong. Eddie Graney was nnnounced as referee.

BACK TO WORK. S&mt' *•*>. r*~ The production of coul and coke will bo resumed at the Crow's Nest Pass Coal company's mines today and it is the fervent hope of every resident in southern Kootenay that production will continue uninterruptedly for a very long time to come. The strike just concluded has heen a remarkable one in somo respects. A noteworthy feature of this dispute has been the intervention of a conciliation committee, composed of representatives of labor and capital drawn from all parts of the province. The work accomplished by this committee undoubtedly assisted in the settlement. We believe it will be acknowledged sooner or later that the intervention of this conciliation committee came at a most opportune time when both parties directly concerned in the dispute were getting further apart and the prospect of settlement was daily growing less hopeful. The precedent set fn this case will, we hope, be followed in the future until such time as by wise legislation the necessity of voluntary intervention of this kind will no longer exist. Another exceptional feature of this strike was the action of the local unions in turning down their district executive officers, a course persisted in to the last by one of the locals. It is to be feared that where action of this kind is possible the outlook for healthy and helpful unionism is not of the brightest. However, in the long period of tranquility which It is to be hoped will now ensue time will be afforded to instil a truer appreciation of the duties and responsibilities of tradesun- lonism into those who must today be regarded as ignorant of the principles that should influence them in all transactions arising out of the relations of their unions with the employers. If fair and reasonable conduct of negotiations in times of industrial dispute are to be demanded of the employers the second party to the negotiations must evince a similar spirit, Tho depression that has been occasioned throughout the mining districts of southern Kootenay by reasonof this strike should now speedily vanish. The metalliferous mining outlook was never brighter. The only obstacle in the way of increased development and output at all of our mines and smelters has been the fuel shortage. A few days will see this obstacle removed and regular shipments of coal and coke onco more tn progress. The lesson taught by this long tie- up of the coal mines should not be lost sight of In the busy times that are now sure to ensue. It is Imperative that steps should be taken to safeguard the mining industry of this province from a repitition of the disastrous experience just concluded. If thero be any state- manship In tho provincial legislature there is hero a great opportunity for turning it to uso that will prove ln the highest degree beneficial to the entire province. Every member of the legislature should feel ln duty bound to facilitate In every way possible the enactment of legislation that will give the government somo effective machinery wherewith to deal promptly and decisively with any and every trade dispute that threatens to interfere with the aS!!!!!!l!1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!f!1!!!!!!!!!!l!n!!1!nit!!irnin!!nmfe: E 3 3 I Malta iVita 20 Cents a Package 2 3 Packages for 50 Cents 3 •a BELL TRADING CO. 1 STAPLE AND FANCY GROCERIES. 3 ss ^iiiiiuuuiiiitiuiiuiiiiuiuuiiiiaiiiiiuiuauiiuiiauiiuiiiiiiiii^ Industrial prosperity of the province. This Is a matter entirely outside of party politics. It is a case In which every member of the legislature should sink all political differences and Join heartily and earnestly ln perfecting a measure that will, whilst being fair to employer and employee, establish beyond cavil the right of the state to protect the Interests of the public. EDITORIAL NOTES. So long as the senate is to continue a part of our parliamentary system there Is every justification for British Columbia demanding equitable representation therein. With a population of over seventy thousand in excess of that of the province of Prince Edward Island British Columbia has only three representatives ln the senate compared with four from the Island, This province should be given equal representation in the senate with that of the maritime provinces and upon that basis we are entitled to five senators. The last Issue of the Fernle Free Press contains no mention at all of any Investigation Into the Coal Creek outrage. Editorially the paper says tho reports of the occurrence published in outside papers were grossly exaggerated. The Free Press would havo served the community it represents better by publishing the actual facts of the case. Whilst It Is satisfactory to learn that the affair was not of such a serious nature as flrst reported It would be more satisfactory to know just what did happen and to have assurance that the authorities are taking steps to prosecute the guilty parties. If nothing of an outrageous nature transpired that fact cannot too speedily be made public. THE GOOD LUCK GROUP. Properties Operated by the Laborers' Co-operative Mining Co, O. D. Hoar, manager of the Good Luck group of eight properties situated near Golden, and owned and operated by the Laborers' Co-operative Mining Co., has given out a statement of the work accomplished to date and that outlined for the coming summer. In his report the manager says In part: This group of mineral claims aro situated upon Big Four creek, a tributary of the south fork of Canyon creek, and upon McLean creek, a tributary of tho Spllllmachlno river. Upon this group we have seven well- defined veins, varying in width from four to twenty feet. This group, which, with all other locations now owned by this company in this district, were taken over in July, and since that date upon the Good Luck some six miles of good trails were constructed, double camps erected and supplies taken up for development sufficient to last until July. Upon the Good Luck vein some 1,200 sacks of ore were taken out and about 800 sacks taken to the river landing at which point our ore house is located. Work upon the Copper Cliff vein has been In progress all winter. By working upon this claim greater depth has been gained and as we are continuously at wark upon the vein we have no dead work to perform. The fissure vein which we are yet working upon has greatly surprised us in the amount of clean ore that we have taken out as the surface showings were not very large, but after drifting In some 40 feet the pay streak of pay ore has gradually widened out to three feet, and two feet of which was almost solid ore. At the present tlmo we have taken out tiOO sackB of clean ore, besides the concentrating ore on the dump. The manager says Uat the work done up to the present rtme hns demonstrated that there are seven distinct veins in the group, each one large enough to operate upon ns they all show prospects fully warranting development. Following Is a list of assays obtained from the properties: Waterloo, silver and lead, 5107.79; copper and gold, average of 19 feet of solid ore, (23.88. Union Jack, sliver and lead, $97.64. Lion Zinc, 64 per cent zinc, $7 gold. Shining Beauty, silver and lead, $62.56; gold, $59. Rio Tlnto, copper, $46.32. Good Luck, 37 per cent copper—$89.80. Copper Cliff, 28.66 per cent copper— $68.76. Machinery fori ejlUenslvely working the group this season is now on the ground and development work will be vigorously pushed on all through the summer. When you cannot sleep for coughing, It is hardly necessary that anyone should tell you that you need a few doseB of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to nllny th. irritation of the throat, and to make steep possible.

There Is, says tlie New York Outlook, a municipal street railway system lu Liverpool. The municipality bought out the horse cur Hues at a cost of $3,000,000, and then putd $0,000,000 more for the establishment ot an electric plunt. it reduced fares nearly one-half—mokinf? the rate two cents within the old city, and four cents If the ride extended to the suburbs, It increased the pay of the workmen, giving: them a ten-hour dny Instead of a thlrteen-hour dny. The gain to the employees lust year through the changes mnde tn their favor waa $200,000; the gain to the traveling public through lower fares wns $1,600,000; and yet, despite these concessions, tlie municipnl railway had gross protlts equnl to $855,000, or nine and one-half per cent on thte total Investment, This not only provided for interest payments and sinking .fund, payments sufficient to extinguish the debt ln twenty-five years, but left a balance of over $300,000, which was in part set aside as a general reserve fund, and in part used lo the relief of local taxes. MUNICIPAL TELEPHONES. The neighboring' towns of Port Arthur and Port William have established municipal telephone systems. It need hardly be said that the Bell Telephone company hns fought the municipal ownership scheme with vigor. So far the company's efforts have been without success. Recently the company made an offer to the Fort William town council to take over the municipal system nnd recoup the town for Its outlay. This wns promptly rejected. Somo uneasiness seems to have been caused by rumors that one or other of the towns would sell out, and thero Is talk of fhe two municipalities entering into a specific agreement to act In unison in the matter.

MANUFACTURERS OF ROUGH AND DRESSE LUMBER SHINGLES, MOULDINGS ARE GOING TO VICTORIA BMITH CURTIS AND E. C. SMITH GIVE THEIR VIEWS. SOUTHEAST KOOTENAY MEMBER MAY SUPPORT PRIOR. The steamer Moyle reached her tlock last night about 7:30 with three cloys passengers and malls over the Crow's Nest line. The delay nun been caused by repented slides along the line, chiefly about Kitchener. Several false starts wore made but as quickly as one slide was cleaned up and the track cleared for traffic another one would come down and a further wait become necessary. There were about a hundred passengers on tho steamer and the evening train to Robson was held over for tho convenience of those going to Rossland nnd up tlie river. Among tho passengers wero Smith Curtis, M.L.A., returning to Rossland from a hurried trip to Montreal on mining business, nnd B. C. Smith, M. L.A., for Southeast Kootenay who, accompanied by Ills wife, was on his wny to Victoria to attend the session of the local house which opens tomorrow. Smith Curtis paid Tho Dolly News a high compliment for Its efficient news service. "I am very glad," said tlie Rossland member, "that The Daily New3 Is going to have its own representative In tho press gallery at Victoria tills session, as T saw announced In tills morning's Issue. It will be of great service to the Koolenay peoplo generally to be able to keep in close touch with what Is going on at the provincial cap ital during the sittings of tho house. We have been nt a distinct disadvantage in this respect in the past and I am sure tlio residents of Kootenay will appreciate having tho news served up piping hot from Victoria. I have no forecast to make aTiout the session but I think a liberal convention will be held very shortly and the question of leadership settled definitely. As you know I am strongly opposed to Joe Martin leading the liberal party under any nnd ali circumstances, and I am satlsiied that whatever else happens he will be turned down at the approaching convention. Personally, I am of the opinion that if that wero done, the question of electing a lender should be left open for the' present until we see our way more clearly. I do not think it would hurt the liberal party in this province to bo without a recognized leader at tho present Juncture, for a short time anyway. If an election on party lines is held this summer I think the liberal party would go down to defeat If led by Mr. Martin, and for that reason I ain anxious to see a convention called for an early date and the question of leadership definitely settled. I am not prepared to say what the Prior government can accomplish ut the approaching session. I think tlio sittings will bo a short one and that an appeal to the country will certainly follow. 1 don't imagine that the premier can command majority in the houso sufficiently compact to hold out for a protracted session such as we had last year. I am going on to Rossland tills evening and hope tn reach Victoria by Monday next, when the renl business will commence." "Am I going lo supporl tlio Prior government." said E. C. Smith ln response to a query from a Dally Nows reporter last night, as fhe member for Southeast Kootenay waB boarding the train for Robson. "Well I hardly like to sny. It depends on so many things and I will have to see how matters really are at Victoria before I Anally decide. You see I am not a politician and I was elected by the people of my district to support certain measures. Now colonel Prior lias agreed to como to time on tho two per <;ent tax question, he hus filled all the vacant scats in the house and I understand he is opposed to any more land grants being given and is also prepared to deal Justly by tho mining Industry, so that If he really means to have a business administration I might BUpport him, but it's a little too early for me to say for certain what I will do. Ido hope we are not going to have anothe/ session like the last one. I think the politicians and faction men should tako a rest and let the affairs of the province have a chance. I really do, and I'm almost prepared to Btipport any admlaistratlon that will help us all out and put an end to the foolish fighting and waste of time that we have had the lost few years. I am a great believer in British Columbia but I've no use for Politicians. • I want to see tho country go ahead the way It should and I think If all tho members dropped their personal ambitions and private grudges and get right down to business that we could help out affairs here a great deal, I've been elected to support certain principles and I'll support them, and whoever stands for them, and my constituents nre behind me In this matter to a man. I'll know better what steps to take after I've been at Victoria for a day or so and look over tlie whole situation." A GOOD COUQH MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN. "I liava no hesltanoy In recommending- Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," says F. P. Moron, a well known mid populnr baker, of Petersburg, Vn. "We have given It to our children when troubled with bad coughs, ulso whooping cough, nnd It alwnys hns given perfect satisfaction, It wns recommended to mo by- a druggist ns tlie best cough medicine fur children ns It contained no opium or other harmful drug."

The United Stales official crop Reporter devotes over two columns to comments on the recent discussion In Great Britain on thc question of tlint country's food supply In tlmo of war. The Reporter thinks It unlikely Britain will resort to protection as a. mrans of stimulating tfio production of wheat at home; it thinks there Is moro likelihood of a resort to bounties ns a menus to tlio snmo end; but the most likely plan, tho Reporter thinks, will bo erection of reserve doppts for storing food as n provision against n possible loss of the command of tho sea routes.

McDougall, local representative ot the International Correspondence Schools, left last night on a trip to Seattle and Victoria. T. Donald and J. D. Houston came In from Grand Forks yesterday with a carload of horses which they are taking through to Calgary and Strathcona. William Perdue, a well-known old- timer of Nelson, but who now makes his home at Dawson, Yukon territory, Is in the city on a short visit renewing old acquaintances. A catch baBin for surface water is urgently needed at the southeast corner of Vernon and Cedar streets where a stream is now causing considerable damage to the roadway. The Spokane Falls & Northern train got in last evening two hours late, having made up one hour between Marcus and Nelson, where a three hours wait took place for the train from Grand Forks. The Nelson Dramatic Club, under the leadership of Mrs. "William Davis, is hard at work practicing the dramatic comedies "Jane" and "Barbara," which will he presented on Easter Monday at the opera house in a grand double bill. Rev. J. H. White, superintendent of missions for British Columbia, returned last evening from the east, where he has been attending the conference held at Toronto between representatives of the Presbyterian and Methodist missions. I The gymnasium outfit for the Success Club has not yet arrived and its nonappearance is occasioning much annoyance to the officers and members who hoped to have the apparatus ln full swing by now. It was shipped from the east nearly two months ago. The Weston and Herbert vaudeville show, which rendered such good performances last week at the Nelson opera house, will give another entertainment tonight. As this Is the best vaudeville show that has visited this city for a long time they should have another bumper house this evening. terday morning before police magistrate Crease charged with assaulting a Chinaman the previous night. The affair was evidently the outcome of a drunken frolic and on one of the prisoners pleading guilty he was fined $20 and costs hy the magistrate. The other man pleaded not guilty and his case was remanded till today. C. Cllffe, who formerly published the Sandon Mining Review, and who has been getting out the Dally Pioneer at the Canadian Soo since last June, haB had his establishment gutted by fire. The loss will be about $.2000 and there ■was no Insurance. Mr. Cllffe has ordered additional plant and will again Issue the Pioneer as before. It was decided yesterday not to bury the remains of John Mouat in the cemetery here but to ship the body to Manitoba for Interment. The remains will bo sent east this morning over the Crow's Neat line to Winnipeg where the burial will take place. The deceased was 69 years of age, not 06 as stated yesterday. A short funeral service was held at the residence yesterday afternoon, Rev. Dr. Wright officiating. Winnipeg and Edinburgh papers are requested to copy the death notice. W. H. Dorman, postofflce Inspector, Vancouver, arrived in the city last evening and is stopping at the Hume. Mr. Dorman has just finished inspecting the postofflces along the line of the Crow's Nest railway and is today paying un official visit to the Nelson office. J. S. Carter, of the C. P . R., returned last night from a trip through the Boundary country, visiting Republic camp as well. He says business Is very quiet all through the section visited but the settlement of the Fernle strike will brighten up matters considerably. Engineer Armstrong of the C. P. R. and a staff of five men arrived at Kootenay Landing last night over the Crow's Nest line. One of the party stated that they were going to tako soundings along the shore line but It Is hinted that the party has some special work on hand the nature of which they did not care to divulge. Passengers arriving from the south over the Nelson & Fort Sheppard line state that at Seven Devils and also near Beaver canyon the company will find it extremely difficult to keep the railway regularly open for some time to come. At the former point an Immense slide has taken out the expensive rip- rapping put ln last season by the railway company, and left nothing but a bare hillside of mud from the river up for hundreds of feet. John A. Fraser, who has boen on the office staff of J. Y. Griffin & Co., at Nelson for the past two years, leaves tomorrow to accept a responsible position with the Dominion Securities Corporation, of Toronto. Mr. Fraser has been secretary of the Success Club since its inception and has taken an active interest in promoting its affairs. His departure will be sincerely regretted by his many friends in this city. Two young men were brought up yes- At the Hall mines smeller the big furnace which has not neen running for some days past was yesterday blown in and will now be run steadily If the supply of coke and coal from the Crowds Nest Pass Is sent on within a reasonable time. The company have a reserve of coal and coke yet on hand, sufficient to tide them over for a short time, and it is expected that before this is exhausted that shipments will have been commenced again from Fernie. This will mean the employment of about a score of men at the smelter, and with the large accumulation of ore now on hand at many mines the plant wilt have to be worked to its full capacity to catch up. The Nelson intermediate lacrosse and hockey club was organized at a well attended meeting held last evening fn the public school building. The officers elected were: President, Robert Car- ley; vice-president, J. A. T. Richards; secretary-treasurer, Norman Stewart; manager A. Perrier. Executive committee, D. McNichol, J. Hawkins, A.
