R. Wm. Whyte Outlines Present and Future Flans-No Coast-Kootenay Line Contemplated at Present The only construction works in Kootenay planned tor this year by the C. P..R. company are the branch south- yrwd fiom Spence's Bridge to Nicola luke, ami the beginning ol! lhe Kootenay Central Hum Guillen. Both lima will ultimately be extended tu form connections to .the south, with the Boundary aud Crow's Neat Hues, respectively. In thy course of the next several years, Lhe number depending upon the rate of growth In population and wealth In the districts concerned, the country westward from Midway will be opened, and gadually branch lines will be extended to the coast, or to a poini on the uialu line near the coast. The C. P. R. company Is nol apprehensive that ils rival, tlie Ureal Northern Hallway company will anticipate it with a Coast to Kootenay road. The authorities of the'Canadian company regard as significant president J.J. Hill's avoidance of any positive undertaking as to the proportion of the road he proposes to build, which shall be on Canadian soil. They are convinced that his intention, if successful in his present applications, is to follow the course of tho Skagit river from Similkameen to some point ou Puget Sound, probably Everett; William Whyte, of Winnipeg, second vice-president of the C, P. R, company, arrived on the delayed train from Rob- ton last evening. At tbe Strathcona he wus met by a representative of The Daily News who usked for information as to the company's plans for the immediate future with respect to British Columbia generally, and Kootenay in particular. Mr. Whyte said: "Well, I did a little talking at the coast. 1 don't know whether 1 have been pumped dry or not. Yes. 1 think you may say that our plans for this summer aro definite. The line from Spence's Bridge to Nicola lake, through the Nicola valley will be completed this year. No. It will not be extended to Midway at present. Ultimately, of course, it will; but there is nothing to warrant it at present. The line from Spence's Bridge to Nicola lake will serve the needs of that district just now. "Tlie Kootenny Central will be begun this year. 1 cannot say how soon it will be finished. That will depend upon circumstances, cbielly on' the rate at which the country through which the line is to run, is developed and peopled. Tlio construction will begin at the northern end. Yes, from Golden. "No, there will be no construction westward from Midway this year. There Is uo development in lhe country to the ■went that—warrants railway building there just now. Yes, it will come, of course, and probably within a few years. Ultimately there will be u through Hue from the Boundary to tlie coast, but there is very liltlc development yet west of Okanagan. Before a through line ts built there will probably be other branches from various points. "No, 1 didn't know thut there was a controversy about president Hill's Intentions, not exactly lhat. 1 am aware that some people thought tbat he would ■build u Coast, to Kootenay railway through Canadian territory. He will not do anything of the kind. He has never said that he would do so. He has steadily refused to pledge his company to building any specified portion of the road through British Columbia, or to establishing a western terminus in British Columbia. "If he gels what he wants he will probably enter at the points tliat are most ■promising at present. Then, instead of crossing the mountains, he will probably build down the valley of the Skagit and come out at the coast at or near Everett. "No, those operations will not hurry us. I think I have told you our plans, present and prospective, as far as British Columbia is concerned." R. ftlarpole, superintendent of the Pacific division, is accompanying Mr. Whyte on his trip but will not go east ■with him from here on Thursday, hav- . ing to return to Vancouver ou important business. Mr. Whyto and his party go over to the Boundary this morning, returning In the evening, to take passage for Kootenay Lauding on the S. S. Moyie. TO REPEAL ALIEN LABOR LAWS Sir Wilfrid Laurier never made any secret of his opinion that these restrictions against Intercourse between the tw-3 countries Is vexatious and unstatesmanlike. The Canadian law was only passed because the United States had shut the door against Canadian labor. If odr neighbors are prepared to exempt Canadians from this obnoxious, legislation, the dominion would no doubt gladly respond.

To a question punt to him by a correspondent of tbo Associated Press tu whom he granted an Interview, ns to whether he was for war or peaee, tho commander In chief replied firmly, and without the slightest hesitation: "Most certainly I am for war; I am a soldier. The emperor's will is naturally my law, but my voice Is now, OS ever before, for tbo continuation of tho fight. Tlie destruction of our fleet vanishes of course tho hopes- of those who at lhe beginning of the war wished to make peace at Toklo, but our defeat at sea ha3 not Interfered Willi my plans." W. F.

Property Owners Will Elect Representatives of Two Nouses-Manifesto Will be Issued on Czar's Birthday St. Petersburg, June (1.—The details of the epoch making battle of the Sea or Japan which are drifting in lien, through the foreign press, and even the question of peace or war, is almosl Ignored In contemplation of the more absorbing Internal situation created hy the sudden elevation of governor general Trepoff, to the office of assistant minister of the Interior, making him virtually dictator, with the dark vision of _ policy of reaction ami repression. Yet the Associated Press was informed on high authority today that .report's appointment only tells half of tho story and tliat there is a brighter side to the picture. As Intimated In lhe despatches last night, it will come in the shape of an imperial manifesto, which will possibly lie issued tomorrow, tlie emperor's birthday, or on Thursday, the Russian feslival of tlie Ascension, and wliich will immediately realize tho popular demand for a parliamentary regime by creating a legislative assembly consisting of Iwo houses. The lower house will he called the fiosudiiistven- naia dttma, (imperial duma), and the upper house, (io.-mhii'stvonnala sovei, or the present council of tho empire. While Ihe upper house will enjoy tlie preponderance of power, the lower house will ulso have legislative functions and tho right lo interpellate ministers. The plan also Involves the responsibility of ministers. Delays in tho elaboration of the machinery of election will be obviated by tho employment of the law of ISiiii, under which land owners and property owners in tho cities and vlllngGB, ln.Uidl__ peasants, elect representatives to tho zemstvos. This, iu effect, places representation on a property basis. The emperor retains complete control of the legislative assemly with the right of veto and power to dissolve assemblies and to order new elections. OBRMAiN ROYAL WEDDING.

STRUCK ORE INJKNNEL Fine Showing Disclosed on Highland Quern Near Greenwood Providence Mine Now Being Actively De- veloped-Rich Silver Ledge on Wallace Mountain Claim (Special to The Pally News) Greenwood, June ti.—The promised active operation of the Providence mine here is now no longer in doubt. Superintendent Derniody lias over iti men employed drifting on the uuo, ;_uu and -100 foot levels. On the 200 foot level a gang of men are working from the shaft, driving to meet the tunnel, which has been started from Providence creek, and iu the tunnel itself another gang are sloping the ore preparatory to shipping. The lead iu the drift ou the luu foot level is aiboUt Id Inches wide ami the ore ia of a very high grade. Drifts are being run both ways from the shaft and when the seven drill compressor, which will be purchased this week by president Madden/is installed, aud the air drills replace the hand labor, it is fully expected that large shipments will be made and steadily maintained ■ For some mouths the blinders of the Highland Queen bave been driving a crosscut tunnel to lap a lead which has been extensively cross-cut on the surface. This ledge ou the surface ta nbout 15 Inches iu width und'yesterday afternoon was struck in Lhe tunnel. From present indications It is wider than on lhe surface and though uo assays have been made to dale, the ore is apparently of much higher value than the surface showings. The Highland Queen is one of the oldest locations in the camp and was staked in 1895. It is situate about half a mile south of the B. C. Copper company's smeller on the wesl side of the valley. The claim was worked by a euiiipany, the Highland Queen Consolidated -Mining Cu., until litno, sufficient work being done only to crown grant the property. The work done previous lo the present operations was on a lead further west and higher up the hill, On this lead a JS"» foot shaft was sunk and assays secured by Robert Wood ran from $200 to $;i(JU on the surface and from $30 lo $40 at. Ihe bottom of the shaft. This lead is also stuped for for over 100 feet. The parties working the property now bonded, through F, W, McLaine, the claim from the owning company in April last, and after discovering the lead first mentioned proceeded to drive the tunnel witli the results outlined. The bonder., now intend to still further extend tho tunnel to ihe old lead, ;_ distance of 75 feet and upraise tu the old shaft, thereby giving good depth on the original lead and splendid ventilation. On the Twin a crosscut tunnel lias heen started to tap the ledge already re- purled as discovered. \V. H. Jeffery, AI. IS., has stated that lu his opinion last discovery Is a continuation of the Barbara vein, as he has traced it to the locality where the bonders of the Twin found It. The ledge is very strong although the values obtained from the assays of the surface quartz were not very high. A short tunnel will tap ihe ledge which when reached will be again sampled and if good values are obtained the claim will he extensively developed. A remarkable strike has heen made on the Duncan claim on Wallace mountain, West Fork Kettle river. The strike was made on the footwall of a four foot ledge whicli the bonders are now at work developing. It is an eight inch streak of rich carbonates which when assayed gave values .03 gold and 776.5 ounces silver, In all $4oS.73 per ton. The prospects for the successful operation of this properly are exceedingly bright and it is expected that ore will be mined this summer ready for shipment when snow comes next winter. On the Rambler a good deal of ore Is also being mined ready for the winter hauling, OFF1.NIH.I* THE COURT Toronto Police Magistrate Scored by Court of Appeal Toronlo, June U—Police magistrate Col. Deuison has fallen foul of the court of appeal, ami lu his absence has been censured for what tlie court considered as a littlo too muoh independence In giving hlfl opinion unasked. In preparing a stated case for tlie consideration of the court, he added to his reoltal of the toots and reasons for tho conviction tlie statement thai in- submitted them as directed, "not that bo had any doubt as to tho law or facts." Tbe case was up for argument before the court of appeal, but when It was reached chief Justice Moss slated that the courl refused to listen to any argument owing to the presence of the offending words. "The expression used by magistrate Deuison is an affront to the dignity of the court, nnd must be struck out before we Will hear It," said he. Arr. justice Osier fully concurred. Tho case was the appeal of Thomas Out- tendon from a conviction for forgery yf a trado mark. | Ho had put up and sold a preparation which he called Glyco-Thymol, which was objected to hy the Kress-Owen Co. or Rochester,' as an infringement of their trade mark, Glyco-Thymollne, Mr. Cmttendon's lawyer, asked for a "reserve ease," to the court of appeal, the technical name of an appeal In a criminal case, but colonel Denlson refused It. He was subsequently ordered to do it by the court and In preparing tbe case expressed his own opinion In the words quoted. Tbo court was not inclined to be severe, and fell in with crown attorney Curry's suggestion that the words should be struck out and Initialled by Col, Denlson Instead of putting him to the expense of having new appeal books printed.

INFLUENCE OF THE PRESS THE DAILY NEWS Published at Nelson every morning Except Monday, by F. J. DEANE THE PIRE DEPARTMENT. In the by-law that is being prepared to regulate tbe administration of the city flre department It Is to be hoped that provision will bo made for placing in the hands of the executive head of the department full control of the personnel of the staff. In this way only will R be possible to avoid the unseemly Btrlfe that has characterized flre department affairs iu this city during the past tew weeks. In other cities the chief of the firo department has full control of the men under htm. With him rests tiie power of dismissal and employment. The chief must, of course, be subject to Uio council, and must carry out the policy outlined by them, but in other respects he should have a free hand. The failure that has accompanied too many municipal enterprises has been directly attributable to attempts on the )iart of the council to exercise executive , father than legislative control. Inter-' ferenco on the part of councils in the details of administration, in the appointment and dismissal of subordinate officials, has made it Impossible for the executive head to maintain a proper standard of efficiency and has led to ruinous conflict of authority aud subversion of discipline, There is no suggestion that the council should sacrifice one iota of its pro- pur functions. The chief of tbe Ure department musl continue to be answerable In every particular for the efficiency of hia department to the council and must be prepared unyuestiouingly uud faithfully to carry uut instructions given him for the genoral conduct of his department, but in all that affects the details of administration, tiie personnel of his staff and their discipline he should be left to act as he considers best. If the council have confidence iu tbe chief, believe him to be a competent man, there can be no reasonable ground for constant interference lu the details of his work. Unless some such course as this be adopted there can be no guarantee of the permanent efficiency of tho lire department. We hope the by-law lo be Introduced ou Friday will be framed along lines suggested In the foregolug remarks, This will mean an end to petty squabbling over minor appointments, will ensure efficiency, and will encourage tho The appointment of Whitelaw Reid, formerly of the New York Tribune, to i thu Important post of United States ambassador to Great Britain, has given rise to a good deal of discussion regarding the Influence of the press. Mr. Whllelaw Reid himself, In an interview given before lils departure for England, said ou this subject; "Journalism has come to he the most powerful of all professions in civilization. 1 am uot so Bure that iu lis instant Influence Tor good or evil It is not more powerful thau all oilier professions combined." It Is sometimes said that newspaper editorial opinions exercise very little influence with newspaper readers. This mny be true, and probably is, becauso it is noticeable that very few newspapers nowadays devote much space lo editorial matter. The influence of the newspaper Is not to be guaged by its editorial utterances. It may well be lhat the public frequently believes the editorial utterances of certain newspapers to be influenced by bitter partisanship or by other and worse influences, hut these same newspapers exercise an Influence through their news columns that is .simply incalculable, lt Is as educators fathers than as moulders of public opinion that the newspapers of today exorcise their chief influence. Day alter day newspapers print tho Eacta of the world's progress. The opinions these papers may seek to establish upon those facts may attract little or no serious attention, hut the facts 1 themselves do, aud It Is the publication { of the things done that educates the newspaper reading public and ultimately influences public opinion, though not, perhaps, In tho direction tbe newspapers may desire, This suggestion of the way In which the press wields an Influence is well Illustrated by recent comments on the subject In the Now York World: "Those who profess to believe that the Influence of American newspapers Is waning are the very persona who derive practically all their Information about public affairs through tho dally press. They fail to understand that, whllo they do not Invariably agrco with the editorial policy of the newspapers they read, their opinions are moulded by what the newspaper has told them of the news. "Judge Horrlck, In a recent address before the Publishers' Association, insisted that the public uo longer trusted its newspapers. He cited iu evidence tho election of George u JtfcOlellan as mayor in the face of an almost unanimous newspaper opposition and Mr. Roosevelt's sweeping victory in New York iu spile of the opposition of most of its great newspapers, "What judge Herrlck failed to realize was lhat these seeming defects were in reality the triumphs ot an honest, Independent press. Tiie New York news- ' papers printed the truth about the Low administration. From tbo facts the newspapers printed a majority of the people decided in favor of McClellan, The newspapers printed tho truth about president Roosevelt. The people read what the newspapers printed and decided that they preferred Mr. Roosevelt to judge Parker. The fact that this popular judgment did not coincide with the immediate editorial judgment of many of the great newspapers is no reflection upon the power of the dally press. On tho contrary, mayor McClellan has endeavored, so far as Tammany would permit, to shape his administration along the lines of tho policies- advocated by the newspapers that supported Mr. Low. Mr. Roosevelt has become the avowed champion of many of the policies advocated by the newspapers that opposed him." It Is estimated that the wheat crop of Manitoba and the Northwest territories this year .-411 run between seventy-flvo and eighty million bushels, Heretofore the greatest wheat yield in Manitoba and tho Territories has not exceeded fifty-three million bushels. The prospects are that good prices will prevail this fall, and if that prove lo bo correct there will be money to burn among the prairie wheat growers. This means also that the number of those desiring to move to a more equable climate will be largely augmented and consequently tho demand for British Columbia fruit lands will be Increased. Kootenay fruit lauds are equal to the best In any portion of the province and superior to most, becauso of their fuvorable location to #x)i bo thoroughly impressed upon Manitoba's wealthy wheat growers during the next few months, AN OPWlETTER To The Electors of The City of Nelson: Ladles ami Gentlemen,—Having received a communication from the chairman of tbe Progressive Party, S. S. Taylor, inviting us to attend a meeting of the party tomorrow (Wednesday) evening "to consider tiie unfortunate difficulties which have arisen between members of the party in tbo council," wo take this means of notifying you that we do not propose to attend that meeting believing that no good would he accomplished by so doing. We admit that wo were elected as . nominees of the Progressive Party. We admit that, we subscribed to a resolu- tio pledging all nominees of the party to.abide by the decision of the majority of the elected members of the party In the council, ou all matters affecting the platform and policy ot the party. We accepted nomination and we subscribed to the above mentioned resolu- ! tlon ou the strength ot the party platform and tho public declarations ot policy of Lhe leader of the party, John Houston, nominee for mayor. Part of the declared policy of John Houston, as Progressive Party candidate for mayor, was that no civic employee, should ho dismissed on partisan grounds. This declaration was made to a committee of representative business men at the Hume hotel aud at a public meeting in the opera house. We believe that this part of the avowed policy of the Progressive Party has beeu disregarded aud openly repudiated by lhe leader of llio party, mayor Houston, In the case of tbe dismissal of S. 13. Coulter ,uud until such time as mayor Houston fully explains his course in this particular, and either establishes the propriety of his course or acknowledges his error and agrees to abide by the policy of the party, we decline to recognize him as our leader or lo be governed fur- ther by the resolution pledging us to \ abide by the decision of the majority of I the party in the council. In this connection we desire to state briefly certain facts, which we think should now be made public. A caucus of the elected member'? of the Progressive Party was held on April 24th, at which the question of tlie dismissal of driver Coulter was raised by mayor Houston. Wc took exception to this proposed action as being contrary to the party platform and the pledged word of the mayor. We asked mayor Houston what, grounds could be assigned for the dismissal of Coulter, as ho \v:ik admittedly :i competent drivor. Mayor Houston admitted that Coulter was satisfactory as a driver, but said that he hud used his Influence against lhe -Progressive Party, and he did not propose to retain in offlce any man who had opposed tlie party. We again pointed out to mayor Houston that this was contrary to his pledge and to the party platform and therefore we could not endorse it. Mayor Houston then became angry and declared lhat no civic employee Who opposed tho Progressive Party would be drawing city money when he left office. In spite of our remonstrance the proposal to dismiss Coulter was agreed lo by a majority of those present. Aftor the meeting adjourned we carefully considered the situation created by mayor Houston's action and concluded that we eould not in honor be party to it, and we thereupon addressed to him the following letter: "Mayor Houston:—After careful consideration we have decided that we cannot support the motion re dismissal of driver Coulter of the !lre department as we do uot believe It will bo In the Interests of the Progressive Party and is ln direct contradiction to ymir pledge made at the meeting iu tho Hume hotel, and would ask you In Hie Interests of the Progressive Parly to withdraw tho motion, Yours truly, CSgd.) ",l. E. ANNA1L1LE "d. M. Mcdonald," Shortly after the receipt, of this communication mayor Houston proceeded to Issue a notice of Coulter's dismissal and from that day to this mayor Houston has given us no reason for his action other than that stated at the meeting of the caucus. As mayor Houston has intimated his Intention of vetoing all resolutions adopted by a majority of the council, thereby bringing about a deadlock entirely detrimental to the city's Interests, we beg leave to propose the following solution of Ibe difficulty. Wc will immediately placo our resignations as aldermen for the West Ward In the bunds of a committee of representative citizens, to take effect upon mayor Houston ulso placing his resignation as mayor In the hands of tho same committee. We will at once seek re-election on the Issue now under consideration and In'the event of our being re-elected, then mayor Houston's resignation as mayor, must Immediately take effect. j. e. annable. d. m.

LAMBERT & CO, GATHERING^ ROYALTY NUPTIALS OF CROWN PRINCE OF GERMANY AND CECILIA LUTHERAN CEREMONY MERELY CONSUMES TWENTY MINUTES Berlin, June G.—Crown prince Frederick William and the duchess Cecilia of Meckleaberg-Seherwln were married by Dr. Dry sand cr, the court chaplain, lu the chapel of tho palace at 5 o'clock Ihis afternoon, according to the ritual o_ the Lutheran ehuroh, which is tlie same for a prince as for a subject. About half of the four hundred persons piesent were princes or special ambassadors of other countries with their aides de camp. Tbe other guests were the diplomats attached to this country and memhers of the army antl navy, generals and admirals. After all others were in their places, the visiting members of the royal families entered. Especially distinguished among them was the archduke Ferdinand of Austria, representing emperor Franz Joseph, the grand duke Michael of Russia, prince Henry, consort of the queen of the Netherlands. The duke and duchess of Aofcti, representing the king and queen of Italy, prince Arthur of Connaught representing (Ireat Britain, prince and princess Albert uf Belgium, the duke of Oporto, representing Portugal, prince Ferdinand ot Roumania and their highnesses the crown princes ul' Denmark and of Greece. The junior members of the bouse of Hohenzollern followed and Anally came the emperor and empress. Crown prince Frederick William entered by a side door of the chapel and waited at the altar for the duchess Cecilia, who, on the arm of her brother, the reigning grand duke of Meeklenberg- Schwerin, and followed by ladies aud gentlemen In waiting bad left her rooms in another part of the palace ami passed through a long corridor hung with pictures illustratintethe memory of the house of HohenzWlein, among them being battle scenes of the time of Frederick the Great and tiie coronal ion of emperor William I at Versailles. The duchess wore a train of silver brocade mado at Moscow, the gift of the grand duke Michael. It was borne by two pages. Dr. Drysander spoke briefly on the beauty of love, on tlie large responsibilities resting on the youthful heir, their need for the support of faith and ot spiritual -vision. The pastor then asked his imperial highness, if he took out of God's hand to have and to hold according lo Cod's word and will, her highness Cecilia. The crown prince answered: "Yes." Tlie same Question was addressed to the duchess witb the additional "of" und "obey" to which slie answered; "Yes," These were the only responses. Their rings were then exchanged by the bride and groom while Dr. Drysander read lhe liturgical prayers, closing lhe ceremony, which had taken precisely ^ minutes. The llrst ceremonies of the day were private, aud the attendance was limited to the households of the bride aud bridegroom. The laws and customs of Germany, like those of most continental countries require both a civil and a religious marriage. The civil ceremony took place this forenoon ln the palace. The simple legal forms were quickly ami quietly gone through. These comprised merely the reading of the marriage law and the signing of the contract. The crown prince repaired to the Chapel, accompanied by his live brothers and by a numerous suite. He wore the uniform of the First Regiment of Guards, consisting of a long blue coat, blue trousers and gaiters extending to tlie knees. On his head was a helmet With white plumes, and his breast was decorated with the ribbons of all tho exalted orders to which he belongs. After tbe crown prince had taken up his-stand in the chapel the German emperor arrived .accompanied by the empress, the other members of the Prussian royal family and all tlie royal guests and deputations present as repre- sentojtivea of tho reigning families and governments of Europe and across the seas. Meanwhile the bride and her party had left the Bellevue palace for the scene of the ceremony. The future empress was flushed and radiant as she emerged from the palace. A shout of welcome greeted her, which slie stooped j to acknowledge before proceeding on her way. She was escorted by a bodyguard of twelve young Mecklenburg noblemen and attended by twelve young girls belonging to the Mecklenburg aristocracy. The short route traversed by the bridal party was tlirough such thunders, of applause and enthusiasm as constituted a greeting of which any queen might bo proud. Representatives of all pans of the empire and many foreigners wero in the great throng that surrounded the palace, while the brilliance of the decorations of Unter den Linden and neighboring thoroughfares appeared like a continuous canopy of garlands, ban- ncis and arches. Red and black, of course, predominated In the wilderness cf flags' and bunting, but light touches Of Other color gave a delightful pictures- fineness lo the combined effect. Before the wedding procession entered tlie chapel the congregation arose and the entrance wns made to tho strains of a military march. First camo a dozen couples of royal nnd noble relatives of tho bride, men in spectacular uniforms, women in richly colored gowns, with a great array of jewels, Then, on the arm of her brother, grand duke Frederick Francis of Mecklenburg-Schwerln, camo the bride, In a white gown adorned with the costliest lace, a long white veil and a smnll wreath of myrtle on her head. In both hands she held a bouquet of III- lles of tbo valley and green, red nnd long white satin ribbons. When the party entered the chancel tho bride and tho crown prince took the central seats, surrounded by the members of their respective families. The court chaplain, Dr. Drysander. offered n long prayer in earnest tones. Next came a hymn from the choir. The duchess bowed her head low and the THE GUM^ REMOVED HE micro.cop. stow, eack leaf of tobacco u covered witn long soft Laira wliicK exude a viscid juice.

None .«»__.«L PHA-RO unless branded . —» chaplain addressed the bridal couple for several minutes, earnestly and solemnly. After this the couple rose and the crown prince took the bride's right band in his, his left resting on the hilt of hip sword. For several minutes they knelt before the altar with hundreds of eyes fixed on them as the deep, impressive tones of the chaplain's voice rang throughout the chapel as be repeated the marriage ceremony. initially the minister held out a gold plate, from wliich tbe crown prince took a ring and placed it on tbe third finger of the bride's right hand. Tho bride took another ring, with a slight fumbling, and slipped it on the same finger of the prince's right hand. The singing of another hymn concluded the cere* mony. ) When the ceremony was concluded eongrait ignitions were in order. The emperor immediately advanced toward the crown princess, kissed her on both cheeks and offered her bis congratulations, after whicli he kissed the crown prince on both cheeks and wished him lifelong happiness. All the royal ladies present kissed the bride, and the men kissed her hand. The crown prince and crown princess then signed the register, and below their signatures wero written all those of all the notables present as witnesses, lhat of tho emperor coming flrst . A magnificent state banquet at the palace tonight marked the conclusion of the wedding festivities. Five hundred covers were laid and among the guests wore representatives of all the groat nations of the earth. The emperor proposed tbo toast to the young couple and made a speech referring to the high destiny in store for his sou when ho Is called to ascend the Imperial throne of Germany. Tonight the Berlin populace is like a multitude of liappy children. Thousands are swarming through the principal streets, which are nearly impassable, blowing horns, singing the national airs, following tho bands, and in general making merry. In all the principal streets and squares are illuminated portraits of the crown prince and crown princess, and tho emperor and empress, as well as the imperial arms. The bridal couple will spend their honeymoon as Castle Oels, in Silesia, nn estate which belongs to the crown prince. Tho palace at Oels Is very old and it is a favorite retreat of the crown prince. The surrounding country is a typical hunting ground, the forest consisting of magnificent alder trees.

The first senior lacrosse game of the season will.be played at the recreation grounds tomorrow afternoon aL '. o'olock. As the time chosen is the Hrst ilnisinesB men's half-holiday the attendance should be large. The semi-annual meeting of the Nelson Lacrosse-Ho.key Club has not yet Doen held. But a number oi' the younger players decided that the national game should not be allowed to fail altogether in Nelson. W. E. Davison wus elected secretary ut an informal meeting. He secured promises of support -from several of the old mainstays of the club, Joe Thompson, J. H. Fox, Al Jells aud W. H, Deacon. The rest of the team will be composed of recruits l'rom junior ranks. All are permanent residents of Nelson and amateur sportsmen. Rossland has a team similarly composed, a few old players and the majority juniors. Nelson's supremacy was so long unchallenged while her team was composed of graduates of many lacrosse Holds, that lhe teams of neighboring towns huve languished. Under sueli circumstances tomorrow afternoon's game should be one of exceptional interest. As far ns known the teams are fairly evenly matched. The personnel of the Nelson club will not be finally decided till this evening.

NELSON JEWELERS ANO ENGRAVERS ROSSLAND .;" •###$###««** 9 •«•••««•«•«••• SCHOOL COURSE CHANGED TRAINING- FOR COMMERCIAL WORK A NEW FEATURE SYNOPSIS OF LATEST REVISION BY - DEPARTMENT New courses of study luave heen prescribed for the public and high schools of British Columbia, to take effect on the lat uf August, 1B05, tli.it is at the Beginning of tho next school year. The courses established ut present have been in force ! since January 1st, llioi. Before that date there-had been one system lu vogue for ! about 15 yeara with only few and 'trilling | changes. Tho reform effected in 1301 was sweeping, constituting an entire "reorganisation of the work of the schools of both ( classes, and giving entirely new functions | to the high schools. The changes now announced are a step further In tho same direction. They imply the recognition of another function to be performed by the high schools In addition to those already attempted. The courses of study are embodied in a neat manual just Issued from tlie government printing bureau in Victoria. Copies for distribution lo teachers and trustees have 'been received by R. J. Steel, acting secretary of the kelson board of school trustees. The courses for the public schools are I not greatly filtered. The division Into Junior, intermediate and senior grades is continued. Color work Is made a more prominent feature of drawing and nature lea- | sons than before. A warning is given to teachers that "the lessons In nature study I may not degenerate through the system | of giving notes Into an exercise of verbal memory." Callisthenics, music, mnnu.il training and domestic science are made optional subjects. Provision Is made tor the inclusion, subject to the approval of the education department, of high school subjects in the public school course. The last mentioned provision applies only to cities and towns In which there Is no high school. In the literature course of the senior grade Scott's "Lay of the Last Minstrel," replaces Longfellow's "Evangeline," tueh more extensive changes are etfecied In tho high school courses, lu the subjects Of study and also ln the tost booka. The principle of options Is recognized from the beginning, a choice of either French or Greek being offered for physiology ln„ the junior grade. In literature, Scott's "Ivanhoe," replaces Alexander's "Composition from Models." New texts ln British and Canadian history, Wrong's "The British Nation," and Duncan's "Story of tho Canadian People," being the new texts. Botany is added to the science course of the Junior grade, with a recommendation that It be taught during March, April, Mny and June, while specimens are available. Drawing, which has been only nominally on the course for tho last Ilve years, is at last made definite -and a course Is,prescribed. Tho Intermediate course is changed only in respect of texts and selections, liots- ford's "Ancient History for Beginners" will In future he the text for Greek und Roman history, and tlie former will be taught before Instead of after Roman history. In the senior grade the chief change ef- [ feeled, other than of texts, is in English literature, Three proee work* Eliot's "Silas Manner," Thackeray's "Esmond," and Ruskiu's "Sesame and Lililes," are prescribed. Long poems are substituted for shorter ones, ami tho literature course altogether is extended. The fifth year of the course, for tiie senior aoademlo certlllcate, Is changed only In the text for English lit I erature. The most Important modification of the ' high school course Is the addition of a commercial course. Hitherto tho only commercial course taught in tlie high schools has heen bookkeeping. To tills are now added typowrltng, stenography, (justness forms and law business. It is also re"Oiu- ended that nil languages except English drawing and science be omitted from the [ commercial course. As there Is uo provincial university ln British Columbia, the high schools have | always been required to prepare pupils for j matriculation for any college and for the li examinations for provincial teachers' certificates, The two fund Ions were assimilated as far ns possible, and it was ex- I ipeoted that the course would also furnish n general education for pupils who did not aim at a profession. Special training for commercial work haB been attempted l" tne high schools of Victoria an 1 Vaneofi- ■ver for several years. Its Incorporation Into the rogular curriculum wlii require the engagement of a special oommerclal nastcr In each high school. FLOODS AT FERNIE Precautions Taken to Protect Bridges- High School Exams (Special to Tlio Dally News) Fernie, lime 8-The recent rain has 'n- crensed the speed and volume of water In I the Elk river, so much so, Indeed, that | anxiety Is felt for the safely of the bridge close to the Fernle Lumber company's mill.

WHEAT FARMERS JOYFUL LOOK FORWARD TO A RECORD CROP FOR MANITOBA THIS YEAR YIELD OF NINETY MILLION BUSHELS ESTIMATED. Winnipeg, .Time 6.,—Prospects for a buinperwhcat crop for western Canada this year are still of the rosiest hue, and reports from all sections of the country ami from grain men who hnve been Inspecting the wheat fields would indicate that the west this year will surpass all of its previous records lor tlfc production of grain. June is the growing month, and one of the most critical periods of tlte crop year. This year there was a splendid May aud so far it has been followed hy a most satisfactory June. The rain of today and yesterday was most timely und prospects are for fair weather. C. C. Castle, warehouse commissioner, will shortly issue a report on the acreage sown iu Manitoba and the Northwest territories this, year, lie has estimated the total acreage under all crops in the Canadian west this year would bo 5.SOO.0OO. Last year's acreage approximated 4,500,000, so that this year will show an increase of over one million acres. Allowing 1,800,000 acres for coarse grains this leave 4,500.000 acres seeded to wheat, which is a most conservative allowance. Taking this four and a half million acres at 20 bushel., to the acres would give the west a yield Of 90.000.000 bushels, or on a very conservative estimate, all heing well, 80,- 000,000 bushels. From this it will he seen that should the west be favored with the right kind of weather, the largest crop in its history will lie reaped this year. The following accounting is made of last year's wheat crop by the Ogilvie Mills Co.. as at June 3rd: Wheat inspected up to June 3rd, 35,018,120; wheat not inspected, delivered at Winnipeg, shipped west, sold locally for feed mid fed on farms, 1,800,000; iu transit June 3rd, 100, cars, 103,000 bushels; In store In elevators west of Winnipeg, 2.- 903,072 bushels; milled west of Winnipeg to June 3rd, 5,700,000 busheils; used for seed 7,137,000 bushels; yet to market hy farmers, 2,000,000 bushels; total crop 66,051,01)2 bushels.

FUTURE OF SASKATCHEWAN Winnipeg, June 6.—A distinguished party consisting of senator McGregor, senator Davis, S. W. Pickup, M. P., Annapolis; Mr. Grant, New Glasgow, nnd Mr Sinclair, Ouyshoro', have returned from a trip over tho Canadian Northern railway. Mr. Sinclair, in speaking for the party, said the trip was a revelation to them. They travelled 500 miles through Saskatchewan without seeing ten miles of unproductive land. Vegetation was further advanced than in Manitoba. It. will he tho greatest province of tho groat Canadian empire, and Uie Canadian Northern is doing excellent work In developing it. In conclusion Mr. Sinclair said: "I take the liberty of suggesting that the next meeting.of the supreme grand Orange lodge he held in Saskatoon, so that statesmen like Dr. Sproule can see that, there are olher questions lo solve than those which ho la taking so much time in discussing, and which the people of the west have already settled for themselves," just what'evkryone should du Mr. J.

A force of city employees started work on the rock pile on Victoria street yesterday. It Is expected that the rock crusher will be put to work In a fow days, preparing macadam for Ward street. At the regular monthly meeting of the Nelson university club, which will bo lied ln tho pnrJor of tho Success club on Saturday evening, June 10th, S. S. Fowler, M.E., will read a paper on "The Building of ttie Oro Vein." The L.O.T.RI. will hold a special review thla evening in the K. of P. hall for the purpose of discussing details of a forthcoming entertainment. Various other matters will be dealt with and it Is requested that every member who can tend will do so. The mining engineers of Nelson have arranged a good program for tlie benellt of tlieir visiting brethren from the Unlled States on June 27. As Nelson may gain much from such a visit and does not stand to lose anything it would he well perhaps for tlie board of trade or tbe city oounoll, or both, lo present some formal address. Tomorrow many if not all the local merchants will close their places of business at noon for the remainder of the day. The announcement Is made that this practice will bo followed during June, July and August, and shoppers are particularly requested to note the closing hour and get through with their shopping In the morning. it Is proposed to photograph the local launches, off tho city wharf tomorrow morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, and owners aro requested to confer with the launch club secretary, c. a. Hunter, today, in order tliat some Idea may be had of the number which will parade tomorrow. Unless a good, representative parade can he obtained on Thursday, the matter will be •called off for the present, and another attempt will be made later on lu the Beaaon. It Is to be hoped that tha celebration committee to whose combined Wit the success of the annual festivities on dominion day next Is entrusted, will not forget to remember that from a visitor's point Of view, us well as for general commercial relations, the kike Is Nelson's best asset. Celebrations elsewhere must be carried out in tho main street of tlie town, where a park is not available. It Is Nelson alone which can boast of a sheet of water so admirably adapted for aquatics. The street railway receipts for tho last week were 9106.69; ihe receipts for tlie year to dato aro $2086.05, more than double the receipts for the corresponding period of 19M, which wero .1030,65. bast year the service was resumed on June Bth, alter being closed down for two months. As the revenue for the remainder of the year is not likely lo be less than for the same months of last year, it seems certain that the receipts from tlie system thi;, ye,-ir will exceed those of 19W by at least $1.00. DELCASSEJA^RESIGNED FOREIGN BBGRBTARY OF FRANCE FINDS HIS POLICY DISLIKED. PREMIER ROUVIER WILL TEMPORARILY ASSUME POSITION. Palis, June (1.— M. Delcasse today presented his resignation and definitely retired from auy further direction ot the foreign affairs of France. His resignation was presented at a meeting of the council of ministers held at the Ely- see, under the presidency of president Loubet. The council opened at 1.10 p. in., and lusted nearly two hours. The meeting aroused deep interest, owing to the belief that the Moroccan situation would result in u ministerial crisis. M. Delcasse iu submitting his resignation, explained the reasons leading up to his action lie said he recognized that differences of views had arisen between himself and his colleagues relative lo Hie execution of tbe foreign policy of France, particularly concerning the direction Of the negotiations with Morocco. Therefore, he had believed It desirable, iu ihe Interest of the ministry anil the country to place bis resignation In tbe bauds of the president. Premier Rouvier, iu responding, expressed the regrets of his colleague.'., adding a tribulc to M. Delcasse for his past services. M. Rouvier also announced that lie would take nil Interim the duties of minister of foreign affairs. Theophile Delcasse was born at Pa- mlers, France, In 1852, and began life as a newspapers man. Pie was elected to the chamber of deputies in 1889, and became minister for the colonies in 181)11. He entered the Blisaon coblnet as minister of foreign affairs in 1808, and after ils downfall was chosen to continue fn that office under M. Dupuy, When Du- ipuy's cabinet was defeated. M. Delcasse was asked ly form a ministry, but, declined the task. In June, 1889, he became foreign minister in the Walileck- Rousaeati cabinet, and when that cabinet resigned on January 18th of the present year, M. Dolcusse was prevailed'upon to accept the foreign portfolio in the present Rouvier cabinet. But from tlie outset the downfall of M. Delcasse had been• predicted as M. Rouvier desired to take a more active hand than his predecessors In the direction of the foreign poiley of France. EXODUS FROM HUNGARY. Activity of the Shipping Agents Said to He Wholly to Blame. Buda Pest,"Juno fl.—At a.meeting of the emigration committee of parliament today, premier.Tlsza declared it. was calumnious to assert that the government connived at official agents desiring emigrants so as to supply shipping companies with a certain number of steerage passengers, and said it was not true tho secret agents were the cause of the large exodus. The German lines, the premier added, maintained that the official agents were principally responsible for the emigration of 03,000 persons without pussports during the fight between tho German lines and tho Cunard line. The activity of these agents, however, had been partially frustrated by* the recent agreement between the Cunard company and the German lines by whleh- a percentage of the immigrants can bo openly shipped by way of German ports. CZAR STILL IS STUBBORN CASSINI'S OVERTURES RECEIVED IN ST. PETERSBURG. NO EVIDENCE THAT -THE AUTOCRAT IS READY TO YIELD St. Petersburg, June 6.—This afternoon the eyes of diplomats here were rlvetted on Washington and the despatches recounting the _._ri.s of liiteniews between president Roosevelt, count Cus- siui, minister ITakahlra ,ambassador Speck von Sternberg anl others., wcie road with great interest. No doubt is entertained that the exchanges of views are in the nature of a concerted effort to bring about peaee in the far east. Because ot the impression conveyed In the despatches that ambassador von Sternberg is acting as an intermediary, the opinion prevails that emperor William Is actively supporting president Roosevelt; Nevertheless lhe diplomats are not. sanguine of the practical results as there is no evidence that emperor Nicholas is ready to yield. Foreign minister Lamsdorff laid count Cas-dni's cabled account of the conversation with president Roosevelt before the emperor this afternoon, but the hitter's reception ot It Is not known, A high official of the foreign ofllce, however, informed the Associated Press that count Cassinl's conversation with the president was informal and did not necessarily demand a response. This ofllclal was strongly of the opinion thai the emperor is determined to continue the struggle. If, however, his majesty did authorize a communication to count Cassini it will probably be transmitted to Washington later. WHOOPING COUGH IN JAMAICA Mr. J.
