BALFOUR IS OPTIMISTIC In Mansion House Speech Last Night Prophesies Era of Peace Make* Happy Reference to Situation in Russia-Extends Britain's Best Wishes for Success of Self-Government Movement London, Nov. 9.—"A century ago Pitt, standing where I now stand pro- phosied war. Today I prophesy peace," this was the text on which premier Balfour baaed his speech concerning the relations of Great Britain witii foreign countries at teh lord mayor's banquet in the Guild hall tonight, an occasion when custom makes it almost imperative for either the premier or the foreign secretary to discuss the foreign or domestic policy of the government. /Mr. Balfour and Whltelaw Reid, the American ambassador, replied to the toast, "Their Excellencies, the Foreign Ministers," proposed by the lord mayor, and vied with eaeli other In pleasant words for the credit of their respective countries as leaders amoug the advocates of the arbitration of quarrels throughout the civilized world. The whole tenor of the speeches waa optimistic on thc relations between all tho great powers. "Our friends in Russia are absorbing public interest by the groat movement they are making iu the direction, as we believe, of self government. The task of the emperor and his advisors is iudeed not a light one. There Is not a citizen in Great Britain who does not wish them every success and I express the earnest wish that the movement may not in the future be stained by the unnecessary effusion of blood. We hope that tlie movement will bring happiness to countless millions unsullied by a repetition of the painful and horrible event*-* which made Ihe Initial progress so lamentable." The banquet was conducted with all the quaint ceremonials peculiar i<> the occasion. The guests of lord mayor .Morgan Included the retiring lord mayor, sir John P. Lund, many of the foreign ministers and cabinet officers. In proposing tlie toast of "The Imperial Forces," sheriff Small man pleasantly referred to tho reception In the United States, of the British Squadron. Tiie lord mayor proposed "His Majesty's Ministers," to which Mr. Balfour responded, The premier devoted a eon- siderablt) portion of his speech to ihe question of the unemployed, expressing tils sympathy and Ills desire to in every way possible help those ottl of work, ami appealing to private purses for assistance. Passing lo the foreign policy of the government the premier spoke first of Russia and then said that the king's government had done everything possible for many years to ward off the, dangers of war and had done its best to develop a scheme or arbitration. Me 'alluded to tho difficulties attending tho boundary qtiostlons and said ho hoped that these all might be settled hy arbitration. "I am sanguine on this subject/' said iho premier; "I think in tlie future we shall not see war unless, indeed, we can conceive of a nation or a ruler arising who will be tillable lo carry out a scheme of national aggrandizement except through trampling on thc rights of his neighbors. However, I see no prospect of suoh a calamity in Europe." Referring to the premier's expressions concerning the probabilities of peace, Mr. Reid said for his part he preferred tho court of arbitration to the arbitrament of the sword. The ambassador said he would neither concede nor dispute Mr. Balfour's claim that, Great Britain had taken precedence in the matter of arbitration, but he would say that Great Britain and the United States had set an example and had settled sonic of tho most burning questions through arbitration, and that today the two countries were more cordial In their relations than they had been in the last hundred years. "If you hear of the possibility of difficulties over fisheries or something, don't believe it," said the ambassador, "because such a report will be the result of asolute misinformation. There is no question today between the United States and Great Britain that secretary Root and secretary Lansdowne cannot speedily settle, nnd while king Edward and president Roosevelt, retain their places there ls sure to be a continuance of good relations. Mr. Reid closed With a tribute to the action of president Roosevelt In bringing about peace between Russia and Japan and said that king Edward was known throughout thc United Stales as an earnest advocate of peace, where his tact and moderation had "endeared him to every citizen of the republic."

MUTINY AT CRONSTADT Three Thousand Sailors and Soldiers Out on the Rampage Machine Guns Employed to Quell Outbreak -Casualties Heavy-Eastern Section of Town in Possession of Mutineers Cronstadt, Nov. 0.—The heavens reflected tiie glare of smouldering fires us the Associated Press correspondent approached Cronstadt this evening, Upon landing, however, hurried inquiry revealed the fact that the troops and the loyal sailors, had apparently the upper hand. Fighting had ceased in the streets and the town was quiet, but fears arc expressed that there might be further trouble. Tonight patrols are engaged in hunting down and capturing the mutineers. The outbreak started yesterday afternoon when the sailors of tho "Seventh Tort Equipage" revolted and it is rumored killed some of their officers. They marched out of the barracks and immediately plundered four spirit shops. Crazed with liquor they returned and seized their arms and then went on a rampage firing promiscuously upon the troops and the loyal sailors. Later they were joined by many of their comrades and lighting continued from midnight until this morning, when the terror stricken inhabitants began to flee, The lowest estimates place the number of dead at 50. Several regiments with eight machine'guns from St. Petersburg landed today. Paring the rioting Wednesday night machine guns were employed against the mutinous sailors .who had been joined by a batalUon of artillery from the fortress and which raised the total number of mutineers to three thousand. It is difficult to ascertain the exact number of casualties, but officers place the figures at 200. The sailors say the '■liief grievances are poor food and clothing and an insufficient amount of liberty, from the barracks. Roughs joined in the pillage hat the workmen did not participate. Many of the workmen and the civilian population have either fled or aA trying to flee from the city. The docks arc piled high with baggage and houshold effects, At this hour the city is full of reinforcements from Moscow and thej are still arriving. Order has been restored, and there was no renewal of the troubles during the evening. The fires are still glowing In the market and another group of buildings. The stores and houses are boarded up at this hour, and troops are patrolling the streets. Though a majority of the mutineers have surrendered, several hundred are stitl holding out in the eastern section of tile town. They have thrown up bar- racades, but are surrounded and machine guns are posted al all the streets leading to their stronghold. London, Nov. !).—A dispatch from St., Petersburg says that the sailors of the Russian squadron al Cronstadt mutinied last night, over-powered their officers and landed and attacked the shops, public buildings and spirit stores. The troops were called out and fighting ensued during whicli machine guns were used and many persons were killed or wounded. In addition a number of houses were set on fire.

According to the reports a mutiny of the sailors occurred during the night and was followed by a regular battle with the troops, during which machine gun- were used. Thc workmen sided wilh the sailors and hundreds were killed and wounded. Later the torch was used and Ihe town is now In flames.

UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE Count Witte Compelled to Make This Last Concession Czar Has Also Been Driven to Consent to Dismissal of General Trepoff, Who Becomes Commandant of Palace St. Petersburg, Nov. 8.—P-JJbi couut Witte and emperor Nicholas lave made a surrender. General Trep*.. has been removed from the powerful position of governor-general bt St. Petersburg aud assistant minister of the interior, and Kussia'n premier haa agreed to immediate universal suffrage. Count Witte, whll« fully aware of the Intense opposition to general Trepofl's' retaining office, has never questioned the sincerity of the general's co-operation in the introduction of the new regime. Nevertheless he recognized that only Trepofi's removal would appease the popular wrath. The final obstacle was the emperor, who had come to believe that Trepoff alone was able to safeguard the life of himself and family, but he has yielded at last on the condition that Trepoff should become commandant of the palace, where his sole duty will be to take measures to protect^ the life of his majesty. The emperor in agreeing to general Trepoffs retirement conferred on him the order of Alexander Nevsld in diamonds. The Rush and other radical papers which have heen campaigning against Trepoff hail his removal with delight, as being the first victory for the Russian press. General Trepoff claims that he has been greatly misunderstood and that history must eventually acquit him in any way of being the instigator of (Jin shedding of blood, and all llie other horrors which Russia experienced during the last fortnight.

Whether Hearst wins or loses in the legal contest, the power of Tammany has received a body blow. The coming investigation will add to its discomfiture and it Is not predicting too much to say that the outcome will be the complete collapse of an organization that lias for all too long a period wielded a vicious influence in the second greatest city of the world.

Whilst the return.1, are as yet incomplete, further details will only add to what is undoubtedly a sweeping victory for the liberals in the new province of Alberta. Premier Rutherford has been sustained in the most gratifying manner. Every member of the cabinet has been elected, and the leader of the conservative party, R. B. Bennett, has gone down to defeat in Calgary. The returns available up to the time of going to press indicate that the forecast of the elections made in these columns last Sunday was very close to the mark. It Is doubtful if the conservatives will have even the five seats then conceded them. Tho victory was not unexpected. Alberta has always been liberal and It waa only reasonable to suppose that the flrst provincial legislature would be dominated by the popular party. The outcome is satisfactory more especially because it will tend strongly to put an end to racial and sectarian strife in Canada. This, in our opinion, ls the chief ground of gratification, and it is particularly gratifying that the chief offender in this respect, conservative leader R. B. Bennett .should have been rejected by the electors of Calgary. Premier Rutherford will be strongly entrenched in power and should be able to proceed immediately with the formulation of a businesslike policy for the Upbuilding of tho new province that has entrusted its destinies to his keeping, EDITORIAL NOTES. The protest or the Canadian Pacific Railway company against the Allans ibeing awarded a ten year contract for carrying the Atlantic mails would appear to be well founded if the reasons advanced by the company are valid. The C P. R. intimate that they are about to l'educe the time between Vancouver to Hong Kong from -21 to 1G days, to make the rail trip across the continent in four days and to put on steamers on the Atlantic that will make the trip in from five to six days. This is an improvement all round and every encouragement should be given the C. P. R. to carry out their plans. William Randolph Hearst is evidently determined to make a big fight to oust. George B. McClellan from the mayoralty of New York. So far he has BATTLE OF THE BALLOTS TAMMANY OFFICIAL RE-FUSES TO OBEY JUDGE'S ORDER. CLAIMED THAT THE POLICE WERE THE PROPER CUSTODIANS. New York, Nov. 9.—Sensational developments followed rapidly this morning In the fight of William R. Hearst tu icontest the mayoraflty election of George B. McClellan. Having secured last night an order from justice Gaynor, in Brooklyn, directing the police department to deliver the ballot boxes to the board of elections forthwith, the Hearst men lost no time In dispatching fifty automobiles carrying men armed with the court's order to the various police stations, where they demanded the ballot boxes, lu most instances the officers in charge at thc polite station directed that tbe boxes be placed in patrol wagons and each lot, guarded by live policemen, hurried to the office of the board of elections at West Forty-first, street. Meantime other Hearst men had gone to the home of John R. Voorfiees, president, of the hoard of elections, aud, arousing him. asked him to immediately go to his office ami receive the ballot boxes as fast as they reached there. President Voorhecs was surprised at the demand and was quickly informed of the court's order. He said that he would not go to the office of thc bureau of elections at such an unreasonable hour, hut he would appear ut his office antl open the same at !> o'clock, the usual hour, today. At 3 o'clock this morning wagons and automobiles filled with ballot boxes, police officers and Hearst watchers began to arrive at teh office of the board of elections, and an hour later West Van street in that vicinity was fairly impassable. As the morning advanced the remainder of the 8,000 boxes continued to arrive. When they failed to secure the presence of president Voorhecs, the Hearst men called upon. A. C, Allen, chief clerk of the board, at his home. Mr. Allen could do nothing for them and expressed the opinion that the court order resulted from a misunderstanding. It. is said Ibis morning that the sudden move matle by Mr. Hearst last night followed a report received by him thai, a printing company had been at work Tuesday night printing ballots. The report was further to the effect that the ballot boxes were to be opened while in the hands of the police and stuffed. Mr. Hearst decided to act at once. The order secured from judge Gaynor, directed the police commissioner and all his subordinates in the five boroughs to turn over to the board of elections forthwith all ballot boxes, and also to flic with the county clerk before, noon today all envelopes containing tally sheets, Inspectors' returns, defective ballots and ballots marked for identification. Tills order was issued on the affidavit of Mr. Hearst himself. John R. Voorhecs, president of the hoard of elections .refused early today to receive the official ballot boxes. Mr. Voorhees said that the New York state supreme court had held In a recent decision that the board of elections is not the proper custodian of the boxes but that tho police are. When Mr. Voorhees refused to accept ihe ballot boxes lm ordered that they be returned to the police stations. At that, time 25 police wagons were lined up In front of the board of elections anil policemen were unloading some of them. When they learned the order they placed thc boxes back in Ihe wagons again but did not at once return them to the police stations, Mr. Voorhees said be hud asked the corporation counsel for an opinion as to whether lie should receive the boxes and would not accept tbem until he had received that opinion. NEW ORDER OF COURT. Compels Voorhees to Accept Custody of Ballot Boxes. New York, Nov, tl.—The contest over Ihe New York election inaugurated by William R. Hearst developed Into interesting and spectacular features today. For twelve hours the nearly 1100,000 ballots in tlie boxes from the 1948 election districts choked the streets in the vicinity of the headquarters of the board of elections in Sixth avenue. The Oallot boxes had been gathered during the night by the police, and conveyed in patrol wagons and drays to the board's headquarters, Then; they wore refused by the officials, The police had nothing to do but to remain outside and wait. Advised of the situation, the attorneys for Mr. Hearst appeared before tlie state supreme court and secured from justice Dickey an order compelling John It. Voorhees, president of the board of elections to accept the ballots. The order wns served promptly and the ballots were then receipted for by the board. Under strong guards the wagons were driven to warehouses in tbis(city and Brooklyn where the ballots wore stored subject to the order of the election board. State attorney-general Mayor had a long and important conference this afternoon with district-attorney Jerome, after which It was announced that the attorney-general's office would remain open until midnight tonight. Charges that several ballot boxes had been stolen before the returns were reported and that others were found unsealed were made during the day.

PREMIER FORETELLS PROSPERITY FOR ALL KOOTENAY. Premier MeBride and Hon. R. F. Green, chief commissioner of lands and works, were the guests of honor at a non-political smoker given in Kaslo Wednesday evening. The ministers arrived from the north late in the afternoon, with no intention of holding a meeting of any kind. Mayor Hodder and others thought that their visit should be noticed in some way. Dodgers were hastily printed aud circulated calling a meeting in the Eagles' hall at 9 o'clock. When mayor Hodder took the chair at the appointed time, the hall was comfortably filled with a large and thoroughly representative audience, party politics were strictly tabooed, and guests and hosts proceeded to enjoy a thoroughly informal smoker, the numbers on the program being all impromptu. The chief features of the musical program were solos by George Steele and a duet by George Steele and W. E. Hodder. The speeches were ail short and crisp. The speakers were the two ministers, mayor Hodder, captain Holmes, G. E. Martin, A, Carney, J. W. Powers, E. E. Chlpman, D. McD. Hunter, A. Lucas, G. Kuster, Dr. Harton, A McDonald, A. Stinson, J. Anderson, ex-mayor Garland, and others. Premier MeBride thanked his .hosts for the cordialty of the reception, and/ promised faithful observance of the chairman's ruling against party politics. He congratulated the citizens of Kaslo on their loyalty to their city and district through a long period Of depression in the mining and lumber industries. Ho expressed himself as confident that the era of prosperity of which they were just beginning to feel the. effects would be permanent and that Kootenay would before long be a land of plenty and contentment. He assured them that on his present trip through the province he had seen signs of revival on every hand. Hon. R. F. Green briefly expressed his thanks for the kindly references to himself and his pleasure at being again for a few hours "at home in Kaslo." G. E. Martin took exception to the constant references to the Hon. R. F. Green, chief commissioner of lands and works. Such title, lie said, was appropriate at the capital or elsewhere, but when the minister was "at homo in Kaslo," in an unofficial capacity, he was simply their old friend, Bob Green. The sentiment and expression pleased the audience aud were loudly applauded, E. E. Chlpman made the speech of the evening. In the familiar, fatherly style which has made him one of Koot- enay's favorite speakers, he modestly accounted for Mr. Green's successful political career by the training he had received in the city council of Kaslo from himself, Mr. Chlpman, who was then city clerk. Mr. Chlpman also gravely advised his fellow-citizens not to miss the opportunity afforded them by the genial and kindly mood in which they found the premier but to ask for everything they wanted right away. The evening sped so pleasantly that all regretted the end of the list of songs and speeches, as they sang, "For They Are Jolly Good Fellows."

C, FRinAY, NOVEMtfEtt 10, 1905 ECONOMY IN MILLIONS EF1FECT OF FEDERAL DEPARTMENT OF MINES ARGUMENTS ADVANCED ON AMERICAN SIDE Carl H. Paddock contributes the following article to the Denver Daily Mining Record dealing with the agitation now ou foot to secure the establishment of a United States department of mines. The points raised by Mr. Paddock will appeal to those in Canada, who hope to see a portfolio of mines established at Ottawa. Mr. Paddock's article reads: The government investigation of technical problems Is* economy written in millions. For example, the agricultural department may spend several thousand dollars on one investigation. As a result It becomes possible for perhaps as many thousand farmers, by taking advantage or the Information thus gained to effect a saving of $100 each. For every dollar spent a hundred are earned. Yet It would have been impossible for any of the farmers to carry on the Investigations, By working along these lines, however, the federal government can add millions to the annual income of the country. In mining the opportunity for profitable i investigation by the government Is even greater than it Is in agriculture. Every , time one cent a ton Is taken off the cosl of producing any of tha principal ores, | ono cent is added lo the available wealth t in each of the countless tons of that ore | lying In the ground. Metallurgical progress Is rapid. Mineral j land lhat was valueless a few years ago ls now worth thousands of dollars an acre, because recent methods have made it possible to extract the metal from ore that could hitherto be handled only at a loss. It some times happens that ore thrown upon the dump some years ago, can now be treated with greater profits than were obtained In the first operations, Zinc sulphides that were left standing 1" mines as worthless are now taken out and help to swell the dividends. The cyanide process, the filter press, lhe tube mill, tlie modern dredge and numerous other methods and devices havo greatly extended the sphere of mining and enhanced the value of mineral lands. Metallurgical advance, even more than the discovery of new ore deposits, Improvement In mining methods and the extension of railways, add to the wealth derived from the mineral resources of the country, Moreover there are many metallurgical problems whose solution cannot be attempted, except In laboratories of the government, or those Of large corporations. If done by the government, the results of metallurgical Investigations become common property and lend lo place large und small operators upon an equal fooling. If left to large corporations, the tendency of technical progress is often towards tho establishment of a monopoly. The effect of government Investigation along this line, therefore, is twofold. On the one hand it Increases wealth and on the other it promotes a wider and fairer distribution of wealth. Experimental metallurgy would probably be the most Important work taken up by the federal department of mines. The possibilities of a metallurgical bureau are enormous and In connection with the geological survey It would undoubtedly make the new department a great power In the material progress Of the nation. To .secure the establishment of a federal department of mines Is one of the chief purposes of tho American Mining congress. Since the reorganlaatlon the secretary has directed his best efforts towards the realization of this purposo, and there is good reason to believe that his efforts will prove successful. A department of mines would not be entirely an innovation. One of the bureaus of the department, the geological survey, fs already well established and has been doing excellent work for years. Besides Ils Held work, the survey work has also undertaken to a limited extent Investigations similar to those that would be con- dueled by a bureau of metallurgy. At St. Louis a fuel testing plant of the survey made observations of high value tu large consumers of coal. More recently experimental tests Upon the recovery of values ln black sand have been undertaken. A bureau of metallurgy, with an adequate appropriation, could prosecute these investigations and largely Increase their scope and value. Ono field In which profitable work could be done by the government would be the chemistry and metallurgy of rare minerals. Extended experiments would be contain to reveal many new uses for and firmly establish the value of uranium, vanadium. tungsten and many other elements whose properties are not well known. The problem of cheap concentration for the ores of these elements could be also attacked with prollt by the government bureau. If successfully solved, It would mean prosperity for hundreds of prospectors. Metallurgy ls still in ils infancy. The chemistry of fusions Is a dark continent to modern science. Only n beginning has been made In forming an acquaintance with the alloys of the metals, and the analogy between alloys and solutions is a promising Held for practical as well as theoretical Study. The new steels produced by alloying Iron with some of the rare metals are a sample of what may be expected lu tills 4L.uSA tHtny euJteHty'tJd cpurt-ffl ffU, ajJu f A& myo M*vn, 4tii>ftyint/' S>/Uydesf 4uJ as rtwfct, cJbcvr- Oi^Cmr- Ma/' /nt&ciynJ ^ytu/i/tf S/Hy*yl/fL Oyttyd- fHU^Oy-llyCes Jtjylj ^J fjxly-r_\ct j^Ityj, WHY DON'T YOU PUT IT IN T'T TT1 T"\ A TT \ T W TT"«T * 7P THE DAILY NEWS ^ANT ADS in The Daily News bring prompt returns, because The Daily News is read by nearly everybody in the Kootenay and Boundary Districts six days a week.

To leave the field for private Investigation Is to delay progress and put tho producer of ore al tho mercy of buyers with monopolies based on soerot processes. Neighboring countries-Canada aud MeK- ico—huve seen the wisdom of encoiiraivl. g the mining Industry, and in both countytos federal departments or mines will proba ly w-un be established. ,\ congress of mini B own bus been called to meet In 'the 0 y of Mexico) and assurances have been i - ceived that ii Chamber of Mines will bo tho outcome of fhe meeting, The establishment of a national department of mines at Ottawa has been pro- ceded by practical work of tho kind that such n department can profitably assume. In the collection and publication of in- formatioh the Canadian ollleiuls have been c'imiiiendably prompt. Furthermore, the "Canadian government," says the .Mining World, "is undertaking some very prae- tlcal work In connection with the Invcs- Ugatlon of lhe electro-thermic processes uow in operation In Europe and Issued a ■public report thereon lu which were Included also Important papers by European authorities on electro-metallurgy. As a consequence of the finding of tho commission the dominion government has appropriated $16,000 for the purpose of making experiments with lhe electric processes of smelling ores and manufacturing Steel. The experiments are to be carried on at Sault Ste; Marie and the Consolidated Uke Superior company has agreed to furnish ■100 electric horse power four months free Of charge. Experitiieiils will be made of all kinds of ores and different processes and Important, definite results are expected. While this investigation is or direct Importance to lhe Canadian interests, its results will be beneficial to the whole Held of mining and metallurgy. Many private ontorprlseB have engaged in the developing of the application of electricity to metallurgy In this country and abroad but heretofore the Investigations have not been In charge of a government, at least not on this side of the Atlantic and the results have not generally been available to the public." Certainly the Untied States cannot afford to be less progressive than Canada and .Mexico. A department of mines should be provided at Washington, and It should have support commensurate with the Interests It represents. The geological survey now Is so hampered bv lack of sufficient funds that much of the information collected depreciates ln value before it Is published. ROYAL TOIJRJF INDIA PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES LAND AT BOMBAY PLACES THEY WILL VISIT IN THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS. Bombay, India, Nov. 9.—The prince ami princess of Wales arrived here today on board the British battleship Renown. They were greeted with salutes from the forts aud warships and were accorded au enthusiastic reception toy the immense crowds lining the sea front. The city is filled with visitors from all parts of India. The town and people alike are bedecked in the gayest holiday attire. The viceroy, lord Ol'uzon, went on board tho Renown to welcome the prince ami priucesu of Wales, while a notable gathering of native chiefs in glittering uniforms, anil surrounded by their .staffs and escorts, awaited the royal visitors at the landing stage. A royal salute was fired as the prince and princess of Wales, accompanied hy lord and lady Curzon, landed from the Renown and proceeded to a canopied platform where an address of welcome was presented to tlie prince. Bombay, where the prince landed yesterday, haa been seriously affected by the plague in recent years; but before the plague came it was running Calcutta a hard race for being the premier port of India, and it possesses probably the finest water front in the world. The Apollo Bunder consists of a magnificent line of modern buildings, resembling Piccadilly fronted by a Paris boulevard, and with the Green Park replaced by the bay oi" Naples. Here Ibe prince will be received by the chiefs of Western India, ranging from great rulers like ihe gaekwar of Bar- oila to patty Mahratta chieftains, whose robber ancestqra left them little but their swords. From Bombay the prince goes to In- dore, and thence to the Rajput, states of Udalpur, Jaipur, and Bikanir. These Rajput nobles are the proudest, chivalry of our Indian empire, warriors and sportsmen to a man. The Rajput despises any occupation save that of war, and hence in these piping times of peace, when he has been compelled to turn his sword into a ploughshare, be makes but a poor husbandman. His desert home breeds little but sand and horses, but those are of the finest. From the chiefs of Rajputana the prince goes to the Sikh cheifs of the Punjab, who stood by us so nobly nt. the time of the mutiny. From Lahore he goes to the frontier at Peshawar, where he will visit the Khyber pass, the famous gateway of every invasion of India from the north, and the scene of our latest frontier war In 1897. It is the virile Mohammedan invaders from lhe north that have left us In the great monuments of Mogul architecture, tlm finest buildings in India, some of the finest buildings in the world. Thc cities In which their greatest work is seen stretch in a straight line across the middle of northern India from Delhi to Fatehpur Siltrl, antl it Is to this belt of country that the prince will next turn his attention, visiting tho famous buildings of Delhi, Agra, and Lucknow, and the native -states of Gawalior and Bhurtpur. At Agra the Taj Mahal, the glory of the world's architecture; with its surrounding gardens and approaches, has been restored to all Its original perfection toy lord Curzon, From the feast of architecture tho prince will proceed to the social gaieties of Calcutta. At the time of the king's visit, in 1875, lower Burmuh belonged to ns, but upper Bnrmah was still subject to native rule, and king Thibaw Had not even come to the throne. Prince Edward, therefore, did not cross the bay of Bengal to Rangoon, and missed one of the greatest contrasts of our Indian possessions; for in India the double burden of caste and poverty has taken the heart out of the people, and life Is sad and monotonous, but in Burmah there le no caste and no poverty; the people clothe their bodies in silk and their faces in jollity; the only drawbacks are malaria and mosquitoes. To this favored land tho prince will pay a Hying visit, going for a trip up tbe river from Rangoon to Mandaluy. After Burmah, tiie prince will go to Madras and Bangalore, the groat feudatories of Mysore and Hyderabad, tlie friendly neighboring power of Nepal. The Nepal Terai is famous for its sport, antl the king's best, day in India was one that ho spent hunting wild ele- 'Phants with the aid of tame ones in Nepal, under ihe escort of sir Solar Jung. A similar experience, no doubt, awaits prince George. After leaving Nepal, Simla and some other hill stations will bo visited, and then a move will he made to Quetta, which rivals Rawalpindi as one of the great forts and strategic centers of our frontier defences, and rivals Peshawar us an outpost towards Afanganlstan. From the barren mountains of Baluchistan the prince will journey through the equally barren plains of Sind to Karachi, thus leaving India by a different port from that where he landed, for Karachi is very jealous of its position as the port of northern India. Tbe prince leaves Karachi on March 19th, and will thus have spent a little over four months In the country ENGINEER WRIGHT RESIGNS. To be Succeeded by Land Commissioner McEvoy—Coal Creek Club Opened.

Thc party will take tha afternoon train Ito Procter. From there Messrs Logan and ■Anderson will go to Kaslo, where tney will ■spend thin ovenlng antl tomorrow giving (.similar lectures and demonstrations to givon in Nelson. Saturday will be spent at Creston where Mr. Andorson as dupitty minister Jof agriculture, will complete the organlza- |tlon of the recently funned and gatscttod East Kootonay Farmer's Institute. There also addresses will bo delivered and open air demonstrations given. J Tho provincial board of horticulture nnd ■tho department or agrloulture aro doing ■all in their power to oncouragenand assiat ■the development of the fruit growing In- ldustry In tho several districts of th.. in- |lerlor. After a conference yoBterday morning between the visitors and the executive COm- |nitteo of the local institute, a ohange of program was decided upon, in deference Ito (he wish of the local men to have us lunch as possible of tin, time devoted to [the elucidation of problems connected with fruit growing. At 2 O'clock tlio first meeting was called lin the board of trade rooms. George Fleming, president of tho local Institute, occupied the chair and thero was a good attendance of farmers of tht) dlstrlot, I The first address was delivered hy J. 11. Anderson, who took as his subject Fruit Growing In Its Commercial Aspect. lie 'ent over lh<- ground very thoroughly and lucidly, lie emphasized tho expediency of selecting at the outset the varieties or fruit ■which would command the best prices in The markets for which they were Intended, ■md which were subject to least fluctuation In value, 1 The question of Ih*' best age of trees for planting was gone into at length, formers ■were warned against being misled by their ■■agerness for quick Munis into Imperilling the health of their orchards and n'clng growth, and Into taking mature ■trees which might contain unnoticcablc I'lcmlshes. Afler giving general advice ns to Ihe care ttf the trees and the fruit, Mr. Anderson look up the Importanl matters of packingi Ihiiudling and snipping. Ho was pleased t" ■cam that a great Improvement bad taken. Iind was still talking place in these respects IthroiighiHit Lhe province. Ho thought it wns nposBiblo lo emphuslzo too strongly or loo frequently tho necessity for lhe greatest attention to such matters. Where com- ■petition was keen aud the merit of different products equal, or nearly equal, n slight superiority In the appearance, Jdue to hotter packing, might easily turn Ithe scale. The purchasing public, Judging Viearly always by appearances, prefers the ileatjy packed fruit. J Mr. Anderson also emphasized the ne- JeesKlty for unremitting vigilance to guard kite orchard against alt enemies, and sug- Jgested that true economy might sometimes ■consist ln lavish expenditure of tlmo and ■money for prevention. I Mr. Logan followed with a short address Ion the subject of spraying, which was ■ nil the more valuable from being extremely Idetulled, und even technical. Many of his ■ hearers took careful notes ns Mr. Logan ■ told of recoiil successful experiments for lhe eradication or checking of Insect pests and jlungns diseases. On tho whole .Mr. Logan's remarks Were most encouraging. No evil, he said, that threatened tin- orchards was too formidable io be encountered and overcome, But, he urged, it must be attacked promptly and wilh intelligence and perseverance, pests do nol die of neglect; they thrive on it. Both speakers had to answer many questions, whose searching character showed the close and intelligent, attention given to the addresses. The evening boss Ion came to order In the city hall promptly at 8 o'clock, with president Gearge Firming in Iho chair. Thc usual routine business was qub-klv lialslx'il. P. M. Logan delivered tin address on Oullivntion of tin- Soil and Conservation Of Soil Moisture ll.■ began with an account of the development of soil from rock. Good soil must contain the chemical elements, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, phosphoric acid, calcium, Iron, lime, potash, and sulphur, it must also contain humus, tho result of decaying veg.-ta.ble matter. The ImportO If water to soil, be said. could not bo exaggerated, A ton of, wheat or strawe requires iieurly 500 tons of water, u ton of poUltOS onlv ;i little less, while a ton or vegetables required more ibnn twice thai uinoutu, Therefore retention or loss of mnlshiro in tho soil means success or failure in ngrli'Ultliri*. Among the best means for conserving soil moisture .Mr. Logan recommended intensive cultivation, in summer ihe soil becomes hard and contracts. Then the onlv means of preserving the moisture Is by plowing und cultivating, Hurrowlng should lie persistent. A fine mulch, several Inches deep should be created to keep the sun from the under soil and enable It to Anoth nns Is the turning under oi r being tho best because of Its sulphur contents. Mr. Logan dilated Oh ib,. benefits of clover, slating that where it could be grown, commercial fertilisers wen- unnecessary, A ton' of clover, ho thought was worth a toil an a half of tiniothv or any other similar material, For the preparation of soil to preserve the winter rains until spring, lie recommended fall plowing and harrowing to keep lhe soil loose and open An animated discussion followed, 'i. Morley earnestly deprecated the folly of burning over tho surface Instead of gathering waste matter 111 heaps. He showed that tiie practice meant the destruction of invaluable humus accumulated perhaps during centuries. Bis warning was warmly endorsed by Mr. Logan, A very prolltable session ended about 10*80. Nearly all the local farmers will take lhe train for 18-Mllfl point nt 7 oelock -ruing. PROTEST FROM C, P. li. Want a Chance to Tender on the Atlantic Mall Service (Special to The Daily News) Ottawa.

Crnnbrook, Nov. 9 to 12; Fernie, Beasdell's drug store, Nov. 13 and 11 Now York, Nov. 9.—Kefore tho Insurance Investigation committee this morning the expenses of the Metropolitan Life were taken up with president Hegman, and it was shown that in 1904, $1,940,044 was paid for salaries, of which 16 officers received $1,303,105 Previous to 1892 the president received a salary and commission, but in 1S92 his salary was axed at $90,000 without commissions, and in 1905 it was raised to $100,000. Vice-president H. Piske's salary is $75,000. The salary of George H. Gaston, second vice-president, is $37,500 and that of Frank C. Ayers, third vice-president, $16,250. No executive officer, Mr. Hegeman says now received any other compensation than his salary. In detailing tho growth of the company's business, Mr. Hegeman said that 35 years ago, less than $250,000 would have bought out the company, while today $250,000,000 would not do It. He remembered the time when tho company had to go out and borrow the money to pay a death claim, while now the company has a death claim every minute of the 24 hours and is able to pay them. The house In Albany, N. Y.. which testimony before the insurance investigation committee has heretofore shown was for a number of years maintained by the funds of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, was again given some attention by Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the committee, when Michael P. Miillanoy, the care taker of the house, was called as a witness.. Muilaiiey's ■testimony was in part a corroboration of previous testimony that A. C. Fields, while employed as /stationery agent of tlio Mutual, also looked after executive matters and paid the rent for the Albany house. Today a number of vouchers signed by Mullaney wero identified by the witness, who acknowledges receiving the money for them, Some purported to bo for legal services, some for sundries and some for travelling expenses. Witness said he was not a lawyer and could uot explain why vouchers were made out to that item. J. M. Beck, counsel for the Mutual, took occasion to remark that all vouchers for the maintenance of this house, it had been testified, were charged to legal expenses. Mr. Hughes said that did not explain why some were for travelling expenses and some for .sundries. Nineteen vocuchers were identified by Mullaney for ull of which ho admitted he received the money, which aggregated $5,739. These were paid between March 7th, 1900, and July 12th, 1005. Mullaney said lie had never carried any money to Albany from New York from Mr. fields, and had never paid out auy money for Mr. Fields, The greater part of the day William Barnes. Sr., formerly of Albany, but now living at Nantucket, Mass., sat in the committee room, waiting to be called but late in the afternoon he wan excused for the day. Mr, Barnes figured in this Investigation several weeks ago when vouchers for legal services bearing his signature were produced, together with a letter signed by William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, reminding the Mutual Life that hla father's "honorarium had never been received" and further asking that a check be forwarded. PROTEST TO J. J. HILL HOARD OF TRADE CONDEMNS G.N.It. SERVICE TO N13LSO-N QUESTION OF C. P. It. CONNECTING LINK REKKItHKI) BACK A short business session of tho hoard or lnub' was hold In the board rooms last evening at 8:30. There wore present, J. M. (.ay. in the chair, s. M. Brydges, .secretary, P. Lauiont, ],. uiu. J. I,. Buohan, James Johnstone, w w Beer, w Jt Jones, i. ti, Nolson, is. Applewalte. r, \v. Hannington, w. a. Macdonald, w. o. Thomson, 11. Q. Goodeve, The minutes were read and adopted. Tho secretary reported that he had secured from Mr. Roberston at Vancouver the statistics asked for by the tariff commission, that he had forwarded them to ■secretary Main, and received iui acknowledgement and assurance that they were satisfactory. j. tx. Buchan reported for the special committee appointed to Interview tha officials of the c.r.R. and Q.N.R, companies, that J. S. Lawrence and G. IC Taekabury had been seen, Mr Lawrence was surprised that any fault was found with the new schedule in Nolson. lie wns of tho opinion lhat It conferred very substantial advantages on the clly. .Mr. Taekabury had stated that tho sole reason for tho change of service between Nelson and Spokano which he personally regretted and had opposed as far as possible, wus a falling Off In receipts from the previous year. Mr. Buohan remarked thai a Btatoment on Hie authority of Mr, Taekabury, had ap- poared in tho papor since the date of tho committee's Interview, to the effect thai a first class service would be restored on November ifi. Jani-s Johnstone gave his opinion that the change in ihe C.P.R. schedule was a deckled advantage to Nelson, provided the steamer service on the West Ann bo, as be hnd been given to understand it would be, restored in tho spring. He agreed with 01 hers in condemning tho presont sorvloe out of Nolson rtiniishcd by tho Groat Northern railway company. Leslie Hill, W. W. Boor and olhors followed lo the same effort. A special committee was Instructed to draft a I'OSolU- t.till to he forwarded to tbo secretary ot Hie divisional NtlpiTlnlcmlcnl al BpoklUlO and to president J. J. Hilt. President Lay named JnihoH Johnstone, It. W. Hannington and \v. w. Beer to act on tho commlt- Tlirce circular letters In the hands ttt the secretary, were left over io the next regular meeting for consideration, James Johnstone slated that he had made a special trip from Kootenay Landing to tho city to oppose a resolution, which he understood was* to bo Introduced, calling upon tho r.l'.It. to build the line called for by thfllr charter between Kootenay Handing and Procter. lie thought such a course would be very Injurious to Nolson. Ii would not help thc mining industry aad would bo fatal to the local fruit growing Industry if successful. In any event the demand would antagonize the C.P.R. Brains! Nelson. I. O. Nelson thought the building of the connecting link would certainly reduce through freight rates. Mr. Johnstone argued that the construction of the line would involve heavy rock work all the way, at an expense greater than the double transfer at Kootenay Landing and Procter would amount to In ■I" years. J. L. Buchivn explained lhat tlie committee had no report on the subject ready lo •present, so the matter waa left to the noxi meeting or a special meeting lit lhe discretion of ihe committee, Tho mooting then adjourned.
