C.f FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1905 Close Fight Over the V.V.&E. Bill Now Before Railway Committee for the Fifth Time-Strong Opposition (Special to The Dally News) Ottawa, June 22.—At tlie railway committee today, the discussion of the Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern Railwav Bill was resumed by.Mr, Drinkwater, who opposed the bill. He said that it waa a case of J. J. Hill and the Canadian Northern against the Canadian Pacific and the interests of the Canadian people, The plan was to divert the business of the southern part of British Columbia to the United States. Mr. Macpherson (Vancouver) made ono of the most forcible and effective speeches which lias yet been delivered on the subject. He saiii he wanted to consume as little time as possible and at the same time to put tlie case as fJlirongly as possible, and he suceeed- t ed In doing so. He declared that the ' people of British Columbia wanted to have competition with the Canadian Pacific—-would the committee refuse that? The case should be treated fairly and squarely, and the people of British Columbia were desirous of seeing another road reach the city of Vancouver from the Boundary creek district. The people of that province were in favor of tiie Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern Hallway so as to afford ailili- ■tlonal railway facilities and additional competition. For the last eight years the hope of that people had been upon the building of this railway. So much has this been the case that the British Columbia legislature, on two different occasions, offered a bonus of $1,500,000 tor tbe building of this road. The legislature of British Columbia recognized the necessity of this road so much that thore was perfect unanimity for Its being built. The province of British Columbia was a large one, but it was numerically small, and lie as*ked the committee not to crush out railway competition for that province. What British Columbia wanted was free trade In railways. Other provinces had free trade in railways. Why was British Columbia to be singled out as the only one proyiuce which was not going to have railway competition. The committee could not do anything that would injure British Columbia more than to kill this bill. /The question was a fair one, and all tbe province asked was fair play. The road would not cost a cent to either the province or to the dominion. Mr. Henderson moved an amendment that the powers conferred by clause 5 of this act shall not be exercised until the V. V. and E. Railway Company has construcled its main line easterly from Vancouver, in Canadian territory, to Princeton, or to some other point In the Similkameen district east of tbe Hope mountains, us the governor-general In council mny delermine. Mr. Galllher showed the absurdity of this amendment. The statement amounted to the assertion that ores were being taken to the United States from Canadian territory. The opposite wavthe case. This was purely a Canadian Pacific opposition offered by those who were working for the C. P. It. It was Americans that developed Rossland. He objected to a fence being placed around the province. Mr. Duncan Ross snld that tliere was a fair aud an unfair way of killing a ■bill. This was the unfair way. There was a motive behind it and the motive was aid for the C. P. R. The contracts were let from Glenora to Princeton and the contractors were now in the Held. The amendment meant that tliis work was to be stopped and nothing could be done until tlie survey was made through the Hope mountains, and what the C. P. R. wanted was delay and this would give It to them. Last session they were holding up a weak government ln British Columbia for a $5,000 -subsidy a mile. It did not succeed last year but this year lt expects to do better. With time the C. P. R. could manage to bleed the treasuries at Ottawa and Victoria. Mr. Whyte, of tbe C. P. R., salt! tbat It was not intended to build in the Slmllkameen district. What the opposition was doing was to force the C. P. R. monopoly on tho province. The road wm already built on the Pacific coast to Cloverdale nnd the contracts were being let to Princeton. There was only one precedent for the action of the C. P. R. and its friends, and that was China, when It adopted the policy of the closed door. Tbat policy was abandoned hy the aid of an armed fleet. In this twentieth century a similar policy was being forced on British Columbia against a Canadian company because the Hill Interests were behind It. That policy would not be tolerated in Ontario and Quebec and why should It he forced upon a province because It had only seven members and three senators, all of whom were In favor of the bill. The committee divided on Mr. Henderson's amendment and the vote stood sixty for and sixty against. It was declared lost 'Mr. Fitzpatrick moved that the place where the railway was to cross the boundary be left to the governor In council. This was accepted. Mr. Fitzpatrick suggested tbat an amendment should be made so that the road would not run more than was necessary by physical difficulties in the United States. This was discussed as well as the road with which the railway would connect and the opposition, to secure further delay, talked of physical difficulties. Mr. Slfton said that the committee had been threshing out the question of physical difficulties for the past eight or nine days and there was no use of wasting more time over it. Mr. Foster spoke of the enormity of going into American territory. Mr, Emmerson never heard that this was a crime before. The C. P. R. reached the city of St. John through the state of Maine. The bill was again talked out. This is the fifth day that it has been before the committee. LINEVITCH RETREATS But Declares Japs Have Merely Ceased Their Advance for the long deferred contest.

(Special to The Dally News) Fernie, June 22.—Three more robberies took place last, evening nnd are considered to be the work of the same individuals as those who visited the Fernie hotel on the previous evening. The places visited were a hotel in the old town,, the Kings in Fernie and the store of Mr. Blundell. The last was entered through the cellar. The total amount obtained did not exceed $30. There were no exciting incidents in connection with last night's work, to compare with tbo hold up in the Fernle hotel. Tbe police are actively working on these cases. Thought That the Heavy Rains in Manchuria May Stop Any General Engagement-Roads Passable to Japs DISCREDITS HENDRICKS SUPERINTENDENT NEVERTHELESS FORWARDS REPORT. AUGUST BELMONT ANXIOUS PUT IN RESIGNATION. New York, June 22,—August Belmont, president of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company, lias tendered his resignation as director of the Equitable Society to former president Grover Cleveland of the new board of Equitable trustees, to take effect If the trustees will accept it. They have not yet done so although it was tendered several days ago. Attention wan directed to the fact that the Equitable officers mentioned In tbe report of superintendent of insurance Hendrick as drawing salaries for the last five years are no longer connected with the company. Charles E. W. Lambert, appears In the report as medical director, with a salary of $25,000 a year. He died thirteen months ago, and yet, according lo the table his salary was paid this year and lust. Edward Curtis who figures as a medical director of the company is down on the list us financial manager at $12,- 000 a year, although H. Rogers Win- throp succeeded Mr. Stjulre as financial manager many mouths ago. J. B. Lorlng is recorded as a registrar, with a salary of $3,500 a year. Mr. Lorlng ceased to perform the active duties of the registrarship .In April, 1903. Officers of the society today said that possibly Mr. Hendricks had got hold of an old list, District attorney Jerome today received a telegram from state superintendent of insurance Hendricks, stating that an official copy of Ihe report, on the Equitable Life Assurance Compnny had been forwarded as requested. The telegram said the report would reach New York tomorrow. St. Petersburg, June 21—News of the battlefield is exceedingly meagre. A press telegram of Tuesday's date speaks of a "rear guard action" and there are rumors that tho Russian army is retreating, but the laiest dispatches received from lieutenant-general Linevitch declare briefly that the Japanese advance has paused. ■It is probable tliat the Russian advance lines are crossing the railway and will continue their retirement more or leas (hurriedly in order to avoid being flanked and pocketed until the positions at Sipingahai are reached. The main forced seemingly are not yet in collision. London, June 22.—Dispatches to the Daily HJelegraph from the seat of war fndicate that it is not unlikely the heavy rains will stop the progress of the great battle. The Mojl, Japan,.correspondent of the paper says that the operations are being greatly hampered by rains. The Manchurian plains are flooded and the roads are almost impassable lo heavy transports, but. tlie conditions are more favorable to the light wagons of the Japanese than to tlie heavy ones of Uie Russians, Lieutenant-general Mistchenko's operations have ceased, the correspondent says, and one of his detachments which was unable lo retreat owing to the flooded streams is completely cut off. Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, June 22.— Delayed iu transmission—The operations of tiie Japanese during the last live days which at first were thought to be portentous, apparently ended after tbe last light. The Japanese appear to be merely cleaning out their immediate front. There is no reason for any further delay lu beginning tbo great battle as the opposing armies are essentially equal. Tlie Russian troops are under the impression that an advance is about to begin. Correspondents are not allowed to refer to the sentiments of tlie army concerning the peace proposals, Tiie heads of tlie various armies have adopted a bellicose attitude, especially since the opening ot peace negotiations was reported here. ♦ 4 9A4AAAAAAA99A999AA9AAAw99AA KITCHENER SPEAKS OUT Now Westminster, Juno 22.— (Special to The Dally News.— At this evening's session uf the Masonic Grand Lodge, the offlcers lor the year wero elected as follows: a.

Rogers habaes corpus petition was denied by Judge Wheeler, sitting aa a Justice Cor lhe Called States circuit 'Court. In his opinion judge Wheeler took occasion to criticize tin,* proceedings of tiie state with reference to Mrs. Rogers and' her ouse.

Attorney Flynn said that tlila meant that Mrs, Rogers would not hang tomorrow under any circumstances, London, June 22—General lord Kitchener, commatjdor In chief of the British forces In India, seems to regard aa inevitable a great struggle with Russia for Uie possession of India, and to believe that tlie existing arrangements for tlie defence of tbe Indian empire are obsolete and ineffective. Theso views form the striking and central points of interest in a bulky blue book issued tonight dealing witli the recent conlilot of opinion between viceroy Cur- zon, tho Indian council and lord Kitchener, which tho government lias just settled by compromise, giving the latter extended powers in tbo direction he desired, Lurd Kitchener speaks plainly in denouncing tho faulty system prevailing iu India, wliich he points out has nut changed slnco the Hum of tbe Indian Mutiny anil which Was fivimeU to meet peace requirements instead of the possibility of a grout war. Ho describes the system as one ontalling endless discussion and delay as well as great expenditure witli poor results. Continuing ho'mys; "Slowly, hut surely tlie deserts of central Asia, once believed to be an Impenetrable barrier, have been crossed by _i great Huropaii power. They are now spanned by railways which Ivtvo only one possible significance and wo have every indication that our northern neighbor is pushing forward her preparations lot* a contest in Which we will have lo light for an existence." In conclusion lord Kitchener instances Japan as ha. Ing shown what is possible by thoroughly modern methods in army administration, while the disastrous consequences to Russia, give tho other side of the picture, He urges tliat there Is danger In hesitating to break the chains of custom and Intolerance ot admitted defects. , III Have Two Houses and Joint Acts V Become Law on the Consent (liven by Russian Sovereign St. Petersburg, .Tune 22.—The Novoe Veremy today announces definitely that the powers of the new popular assembly, which will be composed of five hundred members, elected for five years, will he equal with those of tlie council of tho empire, and lhat all legislation lo become few must pass both houses and receive Uie emperor's approval.

June 22.—It Is still maintained hy railway officials that the switch whicli caused the Mentor disaster yesterday, was thrown open and locked, and the switch light extinguished hy some person, either a maniac or some one seeking revenge. It is still unknown to lhe police who this person Is, Careful examination of the switch today showed that it was in perfect working order. Detectives are working on tiie case. Trainmen are of the opinion that the engineer of ihe Twentieth Century was deceived hy the light of a switch just beyond tlte open switch, the light of which is said to have been out. W. H. Marshall, general manager of the Luke Shore, says the speed of the train was not a contributory cause to the wreck. Uo said that, other Lake Shore trains travel through Mentor at a speed equal to lhat attained by the Twentieth Century lust night, which was not, Mr. Marshall -said above sixty miles au hour. The schedule for the train called for a speed of 57 miles an hour at Mentor. Coroner Vork, of Lake county, announced this evening tliat au inquest would begin next .Monday in Duines- vllle. It is possible thai investigation tomorrow Will develop that a boy meddled with (lie switch at Mentor last night and caused the wreck. William Usher, ticket agent of the Nickel Plate road, and James Barnes, of Wllloughby, reached the wreck 20 minutes after It occurred. On their way to the wreck they met a boy carrying a lantern. The boy said that he had been down tn shut a switch. The men went on to tbe wreck aud found the switch open and locked. The nieu are of the opinion tliat the boy thought there was a freight ahead of the Twentieth Century and opened the switch to let It through to take a siding. E. S. Storels, the general superintendent of the Lake Shore said the clue would be Investigated tomorrow, although he is inclined to doubt the story that a boy had possession of a key and could turn tlie switch, CORPUS CIIHISTI IN VIENNA Emperor Francis Joseph Participates In the Ceremonies Vienna, June 22—Amid accompaniments of medleuvul pomp and elreunisMni'e the aged emperor of Austria, king of Hungary and Bohemia, Francis Joseph, took part in tlio yearly Corpus Chrlstl procession In Vienna today.

A BRACE OF REPRIEVES Willie River Junction, Vt., June 22-Lnte this afternoon governor Bell signed a reprieve for Mrs. Mary Rogers, lhe Bennington iiiurdress, until December 8, 1905. Chicago, June 22—Governor Deueen, this afternoon granted Jolumn Hoch a reprieve until July 2S, in order that the Case may be taken to a supreme court Justice for a writ of mipercodens, (Special to The Dally News) Ottawa, June 22.—Minister Fisher fu the house today said that Canada had asked the imperial authorities be allowed to adhere tu the trade treaty of 1894 between Croat Britain and Japan. Obstacles ul the time tlie treaty was negotiated have now disappeared and Japan states it would not object to Canada becoming a party to the arrangement. No tariff concessions are necessary for Canada and Ihe treaty would not interfere with the existing British preference, When Canada gets advantage of this treaty it will have a good effect on trade between both countries on a, number of articles. The idea prevalent, in some quarters in Canada thut Japan is discriminating against Canada iu the tariff is not the case. The .situation is aboutjis follows: Japan has a general tariff which is not a very high one, but is varied according to the articles, ranging on an averages from lu to 20 per cent. Aibout ten years ago Japan made trade conventions with four countries—Great Britain, France, Germany aud Austria-Hungary—iby which, as far as tlie tariff is concerned, she fixed Bpeciflcally the duties on certain articles coming from those countries, malting them iu a gen- eral way irom one-half to two-thirds f*of wliai the ordinary duties were. These lists of articles comprise almost entirely manufactured articles. In each of these treaties, however, there is what Is tailed the "iiust-favored-nation clause,'' so that when any one of the countries named is given a lower rate of duty thau any of the others on any of the specified articles, all four countries also get it. Japan then made commercial treaties with a very large number of countries, including the United States, about seventeen in number, each of which treaties also contained the most-favored-nation clause. Tiie result is that whenever any of the four countries flrat referred to obtains a reduction of duty on any particular article practically all the countries of the world which have commercial treaties witli Japan also benefit by the reduction. Tlie list of articles to which the lower duties apply is not a long one. lt covers comparatively few articles that wo in Canada could send to Japan. Amongst them, however, are cotton and wol'len goods, leather, condensed milk, enameled good.-, rubber goods, wire hats, lead and sugar in which trade with Japan is possible. In tlie treaty with Great Britain provision was made that the self-governing colonies could adhere io the treaty within two years. Tlie Lwo years' delay expired three days after the present dominion governmenl was sworn in in 1896. Canada lias not adhered to that treaty, the result being that she does not. receive the advantage of the reduction of duties which countries having commercial treaties with Japan secure. When Mr. Fisher was In Japan two years ago he discussed with the minister of foreign affairs the question as to whether Japan would now allow Cauada to signify its adherence to this treaty, informally the minister of foreign affairs said that no obstacle would be put 1 utha way of Canada so adhering. The question has engaged the consideration of the dominion government, and it appears likely that steps will be taken to give Canada all Uie commercial advantages accruing under this treaty. The members of the Japanese government whom Mr. Fisher, met expressed a desire to facilitate commerce between that country and Canada. The general commercial treaties between Japan and foreign countries all expire about the same time, stum; six years hence. It was understood that Japan would ihen adopt a new commercial policy, eliminating the most-favored-nation clause from her commercial treaties and dealing directly With any country wishing or offering reciprocal advantages. At tiie present time, with Bitch a large number of treaties containing the most-favored- nation clause, Japan is practically debarred from making reciprocal arrangements.

Hitting became more, and Holding less vigorous, and runners urossed the plate in droves. The grocers, who toad been whitewashed for the first two Innings, scored 15 times in the remaining live. Their success wns due chlelly to the heavy batting of McPherson and Irving, and the coaching of Scanlan. McPherson's two- bagger was tbe cleanest hit of the day. For the victors Dill's pitching, and the excellent support of Fotheringkam and Wallace were tlie chief aids. Dili struck ten batters, Scanlan and VJgneux two each.

THE DAILY NEWS Published at Nelson every morning Except Monday, by P. J. DEANE SUNDAY BAND CONCERTS. Mr. MUBselnuui's .letter in another column of this Issue brings up a matter that could probably have been very easily settled by a little business tact on tho part ot the council. Tho Sunday afternoon band concerts at the tramway park have proved to be very popular Judging from the large crowds in attendance Tor the past two Sundays, and citizens who have enjoyed the eii- t( rtaininents so far given this season Will naturally regret the stopping of tliem for the balance of the summer. If .the Royal Lumber Company now own the land in question it should not be a difficult mallei* for Ihe council to arrange for tiie use of it. The company want tlieir rights recognized. They claim Ihe land is included in that purchased last year. It can be easily ascertained if the claim Is a valid one, and If so a settlement could be promptly made which would Insure the continuance of the Sunday band concerts this summer, something of infinitely morn Importance lo the genoral public than a senseless scrap between the city and tbe lumber company, with a consequent closing of the park. In addition to the pleasure afforded to a large number of people, the band concerts result in increased receipts tor the city's street railway, a matter that should not. be overlooked In reaching a friendly settlement of the whole matter. OUR BEST CUSTOMER, All indications point to a record grain crop in Manitoba and the territories this summer, ami witli the partial failure of tho wheat crop in portions of tlie United States, as already reported the western Canadian farther Is assured of high prices as well as large crops. Those who aie well posted in Winnipeg affairs say, that the harvesting and salo of such a record crop as now promise, at good prices, means another boom for the prairie city Mils fall. They declare that the great progress made by Winnipeg within tbe past two years is Just tho natural result or ordinary good times and lho steady inflow of capital and population. Willi lhe erop fairly disposed ot tliis year, they say thero will be no holding Manitoba's capital, and that values will go much higher than even they are now. The Globe declines to accept the deportation decision of Mr. justice Anglin, published iu full in another column, seriously. Commenting tlie Globe says in part: Tbe llrst impression on reading judge Anglln's decision as to our right to deport aliens is one of incredulity that such a situation should develop anywhere outside of a comic opera. If the era of tbe newspaper hoax was not over, the impression would spread abroad that somo joker had manufactured the decision out of whole cloth, The decision is, in effect, that wo have no power to deport anyone, becauso in the operation our officials might, like an athlete throwing the hammer, step over the Hue and lose by a foul, This is not a joke, but a judicial decision, from which, we are told, there can be no appeal. Because our officers cannot stop before they reach the line, and must not continue and pass beyond it, therefore thoy must not, or will not, or cannot, go up to the line. Here is a chance for the invention ot a deportation machine. A large tube ending at tlie boundary line with a plunger that could be carefully scrowed down to force the defendant out would fill tbe bill. The idea is not patented, and no caveat has heen filed. Perhaps there is here an unexpected advantage from having the department ui labor and lhe postofflce under one ministerial bead. The pneumatic tubes which sir William Mulock is instituting may be used by the labor department in evicting aliens without crossing the line, If this decision were given in China we would enjoy it, but given In Canada it Is lo us serious. It may interpret tho law as It srtands. It Is the duty of parliament to immediately assume control over immigration, and over all the privileges accorded to aliens within the dominion. For silver to register over 61 cents per ounce in two consecutive months, as in January and February o£ this year, Is rather unusual, remembering tbat Uie market or late lias been steady, says the Denver Mining Record. At 60 cents it is possible for many mines to bo worked at a profit; at less It be comes difficult to meet expenses. To some extont, however, the policy of the smelter trusts iu making time contracts has removed the apprehension of miners who bave heretofore experienced reverses from tlie eccentric market prices. Of course, the smelter combination by reason of Its extensive and widely distributed plants, holds tho unique position of "dictating" the price of silver and lead. Another important factor Is the consumption In the far east, and, the heavy reduction in the exports to this territory partly explains the cut in the price of 61,6 cents por ounce to 55 cents in April. Still there is some consolation In knowing that tlie average price for the lour months ending April 30th is appreciably higher than 1904.

In tbo grocers' second Innings, Ibey had two men Pi bases with only one out, but but McPherson fanned, find Partington-'*, fly to flrst was gathered in by Wallace. Then tho grocers' fielding took on tbe yellow hue. Bcanlan still pitched efficiently using tho "spit" ball, the latest terror, but tbe work of tbe Infield was very ragged and overthrows to bases were very cosily. The dry goods men scored five runs before the Innings closed. NO SUNDAY CONCERTS Editor Tbo Daily Nows—A communication, of wliich the following Is a copy, was mailed to tbo mayor on tho dato thereof: Nelson, B, C, Juno 9, 1903 To tbo Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Nelson; Gentlemen—As agent for the Royal Lumber Co., .Ltd., owners of tho su called Tramway park, 1 hereby propose to lease you said park and appurtenants, exclusive of pavilion and refreshment booth, for the use and enjoyment of tho people of Nelson and the public generally during tlio months of Juno, July, August and September, at a rental of $50 per montb. Kindly give tills mailer early consideration and oblige, yours respectfully, J. F. MUSSULMAN, Agent. Apparently the above was not regarded os of sufllcionl Importance to submit to the council, but In reply to a question from alderman Bird at a meeting held on tho 18th lnst. the mayor said: "A party, claiming to be the agent of tbe itoyal Lumber Company, Limited, wrote asking that $iu a month be paid by the city for tho use of tbe park for the months of June, July and August," Alderman Malone—Let them fence thoir ground in If tbey do not want the people to trespass on It. It certainly is not worth $50 a month to tho city, Tho mayor's paper—This seems to be the views of the council; and thu matter was dropped, By dropping the matter in such summary fashion the council not only says lhat the park Is not worth (50 a mouth to the city and public, but that it is worth nothing at all, otherwise an effort would havo been mado to negotiate different terms, Tbe proposition Is purely one of business from our point of view. In view of the fact that the proerty cost a considerable sum of money and thai wo arc paying taxes on li, we consider that we aro entitled to some revenue from tho party using 11, but It appears so far as tho city Is eon. eurned, wo have misconceived our rights la ' this respect. Wo have therefore decided to post trespass notices—which will be done in a day or two. If, undor lhe olroumBtanccs, and In pursuance of tbe mayor's advice, anyone thinks he should enjoy an outing at the park, by all means, let him "pay no attention lo the agent of the lumber company's signboards." This latter Is designed to inform the public, and Is In no wise to bo regarded a.s a. reply to the silly mis-statements of the mayor and his "posted" corps of gentlemen reporters, .F. J. MUSSULMAN.

MIGHT CREATE INTERNATIONAL COMPLICATIONS. The recent decision of Mr. justice Anglin at Toronto in the Pere Marquette case practically hold tbat the alien law act is ultra vires, Is of rar reaching Importance. Tlie text of tho Judgment is as follows: Because no appeal lies from the order which I Hud myself obliged to pronounce, I regret tbat counsel were unable to accede to my suggestion, mado upon tlte application for the writs of habeas corpus, that these writs should be returnable before a divisional court. The act reads as follows: "The attorney-general of Canada, In case he shall bo satisfied that an immigrant lias been allowed to land in Canada contrary to the prohibition of this act, may cause such immigrant, within the period of one year after landing or entry, to be taken Into custody and returned to the country whence he came, at tho expense of the owner of the Importing vessel, or, if he entered from an adjoining country, at the expense of the person, partnership or company violating section 1 of this act." This statutory provision contains the sole' authority for tlie issue and enforcement of the warrants above set out. Its validity is impugned by the applicants upon the groTind, inter alia, that inasmuch as it purports to authorize the attorney-general, or his delegate, to deprive persons against whom it is to he enforced of their liberty without tlie territorial limits of Canada, it transcends tho powers of the dominion government. 13y tlio 91st section of the British North America Act the parliament of Canada is empowered to make laws for the peace, order and god government of Canada in relation to all maters not coining within the classes of subjects assigned exclusively to the legislatures of the province; and It is by sub-section 25 given "exclusive legislative authority" in regard to "aliens- and naturalization." In many judgments the privy council has declared that our parliament "has and was intended to have powers of legislation as large and of the same nature as the imperial parliament itself," the language of the British North America Act being "apt to authorize the utmost discretion of enactment for the attainment of the objects pointed to." But the area within which the powers so conferred may bo exercised is restricted to the territorial limits of the colony to whose legislature they are granted, is equally well established. However general the language in which Us jurisdiction is conferred, without an explicate bestowal of extra-territorial powers by the sovereign parliament no colonial legislature may enact legislation to be actively enforced beyond tlie boundaries of the colony. This Ig but one of tlio several restrictions necessarily flowing from the inherent conditions of a dependency. Counsel for the attorney-general was, therefore, well advised in conceding at bar that if the return of the immigrant to the country whence he came, prescribed by the Oth section of the statute, would necessarily involve his detention or subject him to constraint, hy tho agent of the attorney-general without the territorial limits of Canada that provision is ultra vires of the dominion parliament, giving full effect to the argument of the learned counsel that, if at all possible, the s'tatute should receive a construction consistent with jurisdiction, not desiring "to attribute to the colonial legislature an effort to enlarge their jurisdiction to such an extent as would he Inconsistent with tlio powers committed to a colony." I have striven to discover some means for,tho performance of thnt which the warrants to the commissioner require him to do, viz., to take Into custody the nplicatlons and return them to the United States of America, whence they came—that would not Involve an assumption of extra-territorial jurisdiction. In tills I have failed. Mr. Shepley argued that the requirements of the statute must ho deemed satisfied if tho "immigrant" to be deported is "put in course of return" to the country from which he came. I cannot so read tho words "return to." If tho constraining force of the officer acting under attorney-general's warrant ceases beforo the subject of it Is within the territorial limits of tho foreign country, I cannot understand how he can he said to he returned to that country by virtue of Uie warrant. If such force continues until the subject is upon foreign territory.its extra-territorial exorcise cannot be denied. In effecting tho return of an "Immigrant*' to the United States It is suggested tliat the officer charged with that duty may tako his subject in custody io the imaginary line forming the boundary, nnd then, remaining himself on Canadian territory, may push his prisoner across the line and into the United States. But were it possible for the officer lo eject a resisting alien without risk Of projecting any part of his own person upon United States soil, in my opinion the application of the propelling force operating upon the person of the alien whllo wholly or partly within the foreign territory is an extraterritorial constraint of such alien by the Canadian officer, and as such cannot be authorized by the dominion parliament. Again counsel suggests that the officer may select such a point as Windsor for the deportation and may discharge his duty by placing his alien prisoner upon a ferry boat crossing the river to Detroit. Hero the alien Is upon Canadian territory until the middle of the stream Is reached. If tho custody ceases when tho alien is placed upou tho ferry boat, It cannot he said that he Is returned to the United States by tho officer charged with the execution of the wa'rrant. If tho custody contin ues until lho ferry boat roaches midstream, apart from the difficulty of determining the precise moment at which the boat crosses the imaginary line, beyond which any constraint by Canadian authority is admittedly unwarrantable, aim the danger of an Involuntary "violation of tho United States territory, It Is Impossible to say that the deported subject is not under actual constraint imposed by Canadian authority until tho boat reaches the De- trot docks. He is upon the ferry boat, not of his own volition, but becauso Canadian power has placed and kept him there. In theory his imprisonment may cease at the instant his body is carried over the border; in fact ho is not carried to the border, hut to the city of Detroit, in United Slates territory by compulsion of Canadian law. The difficulties of reluming "immigrants" to countries separated from Canada by the high seas without exercising extra-territorial constraint are even greater. Tho statute extends to all foreign countries which have enacted and retain in force laws or ordinances applying to Canada of a similar character. In so far as they possess legislative jurisdiction, the discretion committed to the parliaments, whether of the dominion or of tiie provinces, Is unfettered. It Is the proper function of a court of law to determine what are the limits of the jurisdiction committed to them." Discharging that function I have reached the conclusion that the provision of the dominion statute, 60 and 61 Vict., ch. 11, for tlie return of certain "immigrants" to tlie country whence they came is ultra vires. Neither may that statute be invoked to justify the custody in which the applicants aro held within Canada. This custody Is merely a means to an end, that heing deportation. The applicants are not in custody for any other purpose.

Brltlub Columbia Offices: — ROSSLAND AND VANCOUVER SEAMY SIDEJF JAPAN condition; op working men is miserable. thb government system is a make-11elieve one. The civilized world, regaled by the glowing accounts ot such Influential Japanese as baron K. SuemaLsu and baron K. Kuueko, lias boon led io believe that Japan is an ideal laud where no drunkenness, illfch, nor misery exist, and where strikes, labor disturbances, aud social discontent are unknown. In the May Arena .however, we are given the other side of the picture by Mr. Klichi Kaneko, who writes, ay be bo-ists, not as a patriot but as a Japanese socialist. He is apparently uot a relative oE hie distinguished namesake, the baron. If his words be true, Japan is afflicted with the u>sual social vices and troubles incident to modem lite, aggravated in her ease by over-population and under-production of the staple articles ot food and clothing, while its people, moreover, frequently assume a very hostile attitude against organised government aud the estaibllshe-i order of things. Mr. Kaneko speaks of serious .strikes in 1889, 1899, 1901, im and in 1904; and in describing lhe situation ot the poorer class ot citizens generally, he says iu substauoe: The condition of the working men iu Japan is a most miserable one. They aro working generally twelve hours a day, and sometimes fifteen hours. Ordinarily workman receive from 12 to 20 sen (H) to 2D cents) a day; skilled laborers from ;iu to 40 sen; girls earn from 10 to 20 sen, audi children only a few sen per day. Eveu skilled mechanics receive but FiO sert per day; Japanese policemen only 12 sen per month. Carpen- *tt_rs earn 75 sera per -day. Mr. Kaneko also has nothing complimentary to say of the Japanese government or or the official who administer public affairs. From the great marquis lto, who is "personally the worst type of statesnuin," and whose ""private life," "•Immorality," and "degraded character" he is "ashamed to speak," down to the despotic policemen who arrest too en- ihusiastu' speakers at social gatherings, they are all bad, and each contributes his part in creating a condition "somewhat better," it is true, "than that of our neighboring country (Russia); but when wo come to compare Japan with England or the United States, we can uot but feel ashamed that we are so far behind both these countries," The love of country aud loyalty to the mikado, universally believed to be a national trail of the Japanese people is, In the opinion ol' Mr, Kaneko, mainly a fiction of the imagination. Mr. Kaneko claims that all the trouble which he sees In his native land is due to the fact that tbe constitution in force provides only a "make-believe' government of liberty and equality. We quote the following: "The Japanese government system te the make-believe system, lt is not by tlie people, of the people, for tlie people. It is the government of the few, of the nobles, of ihe titles, and, above all, of the figure-head—the mikado. There Is a strange line drawn in the society of Japan. It extends a little higher than tho heads Of the people, and once you get within this line you are assured of perfect safety all your life; your condition sural for life; nobody can disturb criticisms will affect you That tbo arttstocracy, the titles, tlie confidants of the mikado. You can not hope to prevail against a man within that line. No matter how incapable or unworthy he may be, you must be contented with him; otherwise your life is no longer safe."

The worst piece of news the Lardeau district hns experienced for some time came aa a thunderbolt, when it was announced the mill and chloridlslng plant of the Ferguson Mines, Ltd., operating tlio Nettie L. aud Silver Cup mines, had been shut down and 120 men thrown out of employment, says the Kootenay Mall. Nor does it appear to he a merely temporary affair-as the telephone lines were taken down and other signs of a long shut down are evident. The reason ostensibly given in that tlie reserves of milling ore have heen exhausted, but that is all nonsense as, although the second grade dumps have heen pfetty well worked out, the workings are full of that class of oro which was not taken I out of the mine by the Sunshine Ltd., when they were mining only the shipping grade of ore. It is feared the true reason is the company found itself unable, with the plant installed, to make a prolit on lhe ore they handled in ihe mill. Other reports say further development will he pushed on and modifications made to the mill plant with a wlow to ensure better results. The long low-level tunnel driven hy the company two years ago to develop the lead discovered very little ore, though It wtjs expected to strike the downward extension of the big lense on which most of the development work and mining had previously heen done. The opinion is expressed that the tunnel was not pushed far enough to strike this ore shoot. Tlie compressor waa so damaged by the big slide a year ago that work was never resumed in the tunnel afterwards, though, if the compressor plant was again put In commission, this tunnel might be pushed forward with a possibility of obtaining ore or making a raise from it in the direction of the ore shoot, when more ore might be discovered.

PROCTER, Agent for Nelson and District HOLOCAUST OF BODIES FURTHER DETAILS OF WRECK / NEAR CLEVELAND. HORRIBLE STORY OF A TERRIBLE DISASTER. Cleveland, June 22.—While traveling at the rate of seventy miles an "hour, tho Twentieth Century Limited, the Castest long distance train in the world, ran through an open swltli at Mentor, ajbout 25 miles east of Cleveland, at 9:20 o'clock last night, causing one of the most horrible wrecks in the history of the Lake Shore road. The engine was hurled into the ditch. A part of thfi train was crushed on top of it and the wreck was partly burned. The horrors of the wreck were doubled In the horrors of the lire. More than a score of people were killed and many were injured and the famous train was largely demolished. The train was crowded, practically all Its accommodations being taken, when it left the city. It was behind time and the great speed was being made to make up for lost time. Practically all the injured were burned, and were taken from the blazing wreckage by rescue parties. A particularly distressing feature of the rescue work was that the Injured were so crazed when taken out from under the mass of wreckage that they could not reveal tlieir own Identity, despite the niigeiu appeals and entreaties made by officials and others, who knew how anxiously news from tlie wreck was awaited by the families and friends of the passengers. The order was finally given to search the victims, in the hope that identification might in that way be established, but even when tills was resorted to but three of the sufferer:' could be identified. The rest were demented by the pain and agony they had undergone, Assistant general superintendent Moon of the Lake Shore, on the scene of tho wreck, gave out tlie following information: So far as can be learned, the switch was opened and locked open by some party unknown, probably by a crank, and evidently for malicious purposes. Train No. 10, a fast east-bound train, passed tlirough the same switch jus! 4{i minutes ahead of 26, and it was all right at that time. It Is positive that no other train or engine, either freight or passenger, passed through lhe switch between No. 10 and No. 20." .Traveling at the rate of moro than a mile a minute, the heavy train was hurled to Its doom with a momentum that was appalling. The scene of the accident was at the Mentor depot. The switch that caused the trouble is located about 130 yards west of the depot. As the heavy engine struck the switch it left the track, and swung violently to the left. For a distance of 20 yards the engine ran on the rails, and then, leaping from the track, turned on its ""de just to the east of the depot. The omentum was such that the heavy nder was hurled entirely over the engine and was buried in the depot. The comibination car was hurled with terrible violence on top of the engine and tewdor, and in a moment was enveloped in flames from the engine. The Chicago sleeper was immediately behind the combination car; It swung from the track, and, crashing into the depot, was completely burled In the wreck of the building. The violence of tho crash was such tliat the depot crashod on top of ot the wrecked coach. The hapless passengers In this coach were crushed and maimed In the wreck and completely buried In the collapse of the structure. The next sleeper following left the track, and tlie other remained upright on the vails. An Instant after tlie crash of the wreck the boiler of the engine hurst, sending lire and scalding steam through the wreck In a tnanno.r that made escape for the imprisoned passengers Impossible. The Wrecked combination car, which had landed crushed and splintered on top of the engine, was at once enveloped in Minding llames and scalding steam. The cries of the imprisoned passengers were heard above the awful roar, but they were beyond all human aid, and tbe car became a pyre for a number of human beings. A score or more of physicians from Cleveland, Collingwood, Ashtabula, and Gainesville went to the scene of the wreck at the request ot the Lake Shore officials. After the physicians had treated the injured, the latter wero placed aboard a special train and brought to this city, where they were hurried in waiting ambulances to the several hospitals, Officials of the road started an informal investigation Immediately ou their arrival. They could not understand why or how the train could be derailed at the switch which is provided with every known safeguard and was previously inspected prior to lhe passage of the train. While there is no reason known why anyone should tamper with tlie switch, the officials do not believe the accident could bave taken place with the awtteh properly set and in position. , The casually list shows 22 dead. C. M. Wellman. general manager Wellman- Scaver-Morgan Engineering Company of this city; Thomas It. Morgan of the same corporation", burned to death; Archibald P. Head, London, England, prominent steel manufacturer; John R. Bennett, patent altorney. New Yorlt, city, burned to death; A. L. Rodgers, Piatt Iron Company, New York, died at hospital; 11. H. Wright, travelling man of Chicago, died at hospital; William B. Mickey, address unknown; F. J. Brandt. Toledo, died at hospital; S. C. Beckwlth, New York city, advertising agent, died at hospital; J. H. Gib- son, Chicago, traveling man;' B. W. Walters, Hamburg, N. .1., baggageman; Allen Tjjler, engineer, Collingwood, crushed under engine; J. Bartley, Akron, died at hospital; Henry T. Rinz, New York, bnrber on buffet car; H. C. Meckling, manager of the Wheeler Corrugating Company, New York. There are seven unidentified dead, one of whom is supposed to he Arthur L. Johnson of Cleveland. A quantity of first-class mail matter was destroyed in the fire, which consumed all excepL the two rear coaches. The mail was largely composed of through pouches from the west, Chicago. June 22.—Vice-president Brown of the New York Central lines, fn an official report of the wreck, telegraphed president Newman at New York saying that the operator at Mentor observed the switch lights a short time (before the Twentieth Century Limited appeared. The operator says that the switch lights were white, and the switches were properly set for the main track; he then returned to the office. If this is correct, between that time and Ihe time No. 2ti headed on the side track someone threw the switch position. The conductor of No. 2li immediately examined the switches, and called the attention of general passenger agent Lynch of tlie Big Four, who was on tbe train, to the fact that It was set and locked for the sidetrack and the light extinguished. The switch is not damaged, and worked perfectly after the accident. Everything possible is being done lo locate tbe party who misplaced the switch. Now York, June 22.—President Newman of the New York Central does not regard as unsafe the rato of speed whicli must .be maintained by the 18-liour Twentieth Century Limited, and does not believe that last night's accident was due to that cause. He said today, however, tliat tlie future of the new train would rest entirely upon the Investigation of the disaster which la now in progress. "If we find the 18-hour train unsafe," said he, "we will take it off in ten seconds. We do not think that speed unsafe now. If I or any of the officials of the road had thought the train unsafe, It would never have foeen put on. I believe, however, with all railroad men, tliat all trains go a little too fast. I felt from the beginning that a slower train would be more comfortable for the passengers. They appeared to notice no difference in tlio speed between tbe 20-hour and 18-hour trains, however, but seemed to be well satisfied. Any changes now will depend entirely upon the Investigation which Is being made by vice-president Brown of the Lake Shore road." NELSON'S NEWS OF THE DAY The merchants have shown their prowess at lacrosse and baseball and ut inch tlie grocers have met defeat.

Application Is made for a charter for tho Victoria, Vancouver and Eastern railway. This is virtually a branch of the Great Northern, James J. Hill's road, aud the Canadian Paclllc ivillway opposes the application with all Us forces. The whole array of patriotic arguments which do duty on such occasions aro being employed now. Of course the man who could be convinced by theso old wives' tales should not be In parliament, but ho is there. One would think it would be dilllcult to convince him that What was good in Ontario Is bad for British Columbia, but It does not seem to be. The arguments which he would laugh at In his ofllce, at his club, or In tlie street, lie swallows like a gudgeon lu the iobU*s and, moreover, has the assurance to vote us If ho believed them In conimltlee In tlie house. The British Columbia members hnvo no fear of this foreign invasion. Members from other provinces may, therefore, feel easy about It.
