THE DAILY NEWS 3 SEP11M05 /fc* VOL. 4 NELSON, B. 0., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905 TROUBLE INTOKIO Mob Destroys Christian Churches and Insults Americans Martial Law Proclaimed and Troops Are Called Out-Official Residence of Home Secretary is Torn Down Tokio Sept. 7 — For the last four days the city haa heen in the hands oi the rioter* who are attempting to force the Katsura ministry into advising the emperor to refuse ratification of the treaty. Many of the police stations have been burned down, the official residence of tho home secretary has been destroyed, ten Christian churches and one mission have been lorn down and Americans have been Insulted on the streets. Martial law waa proclaimed late last night and the national troops called out. In the meantime the police reserves are doing their best to hold the mob lu check. On Tuesday morning detached mohs attacked and demolished and burned 11 outlying police sub-stations. They easily disposed of and disarmed the small guarding forces and the work of destruction was accomplished without serious personal violence. . Yelling crowds of sightseers mingled with the rioters, filled the main downtown streets. During tho evening detachments of imperial guards were ordered lo central parts of the city to assist in protecting government buildings and officials. Blockades were established around the buildings and the public excluded. Street car traffic was suspended in the troublesome districts on account of inability to move cars. Wild rumors swept through the city, and it was impossible to accurately gauge the situation, and the extent and seriousness of the crisis. Until Tuesday's events the majority of the conservative clement seemed to be accepting the Portsmouth results. Then the aspect changed. A furious attack waa made upon the residence of the home secretary who is charged, along with the other ministers and elder statesmen, of having advised the acceptance of the terms as offered hy the Russians. The place was set on fire and the police reserves were called up, who charged lhe crowds, using their swords freely, hut the mob rallied from several quarters and stoned the firemen when they arrived. The members of the minister's household were rescued and carried to the Imperial hotel. Accurate figures of the casualties in this attack are not obtainable, but it ls known that one man was killed and 14 morlally wounded by sword thrusts and also lhat many persons were bruised with stonea. Another demonstration Is planned for September 8th, and it is believed that the strongest measures will be necessary to prevent serious rioting and bloodshed. Wednesday morning found the crowds still gathering in the streets and threatening and ugly looks and words were interchanged between tlie police and the mob. A sudden attack was then made upon the offices of the Kokunln Shirabun but as it was known that general dissatisfaction had been apparent because of its advocacy of the government sfde, the newspaper was prepared and the police drove off the rioters. Threatening demonstrations then occurred in tbe neighborhood of the official homes of premier Katsura and baron Komura, foreign minister, who is now in the United Slates, but, the police succeeded in preventing injury to the occupants or damage to the houses. Throughout the day a series of demonstrations occurred in the neighborhood of a home mission building and late in the afternoon the mob attacked tbe house, swept the police away and battered down the gates. Tbe police and servants resisted stoutly but the mob surged forward and entered the arouse. One of the mob leaders, carrying an arm full of burning straw, gained an entrance and deposiiing his bundle in the lightly built mission of paper and bamboo Instantly the whole placo was in flames with the mob jeering and hooting outside yelling abusive epithets at the Christians. ■From this point the mob rushed on and in different parts of the city presently ten Christian churches could be seen in flames. Others devoted their attention to the destruction of the police patrol or sub stations the wrecking of which as a sign of their disapproval of the acts of the government had been started on the previous evening. This continued until midnight. It ls impossible to ascertain the exact number destroyed but it Is estimated that 15 were wrecked. Two larger police stations were also destroyed. The mobs generally prevented damage to the adjoining private property by dragging the police kiosks into the 'middle of the streets before applying the torch. Shortly after midnight another attempt was made against the Kokunln Shlmbun offices but the police dispersed the attackers killing one. The fact that the man was cut in the back angered the crowd which demanded the arrest of the policemen. At this stage proclamations everywhere declared that an imperial ordinance established martial law and the national troops which were mobilized on account of the war now ceased were called out. In the meantime the situation was threatening. Turbulent crowds filled the streets throughout the night and it was feared that much damage to property would be accomplished under cover of darkness. All the police reserves were out heavily guarding dangerous spots. The streets in the neighborhood of the Kokunln Shlmbun, were closed and 200 police formed a cordon around the offices. This morning president Harrlman of the Southern Pacific Railway system of tiie United States was seen in the streets of Tokio in the vicinity of the Imperial hotel, and the mob, taking him to be a representative of the United States government, which is blamed for the peace along with the Katsura ministry, was hooted by the populace and so threatening a demonstration was made that Mr. Harrlman had to take refuge in the hotel, heavily guarded by the national troops. A member of the mob which burned the home minister's residence said to the representative of the Aasociated Press: "We burned the house for the purpose of attracting the attention of the emperor. We want him to refuse to ratify the treaty. We believe that those surrounding him prevent him from correctly understanding the popular attitude toward the disgraceful humiliating peace." CENSORING TELEGRAMS Peking, Sept. 7.—Messages received here from a good source at Tokio, represent the situation there as grave. The Japanese government Is apparently censoring telegrams. NOTHING PERSONAL. New York, Sept. 7.—At the Southern Pacific office it waa said that no word had been received from Mr. Harrlman at Tokio. His associates were of the opinion that the hostile demonstration was in no" sense personal. Mr. Hani- man's visit to Japan, it was declared, was entirely for recreation and pleasure. MISSIONARY VERSION. ■Boston, Mass., Sept. 7.—Rev. James L. Barton, secretary of lhe American board of commissioners .pf foreign missions, said today of the news from Tokio that Christian churches had been burned by a mob: "There are over a hundred places of worship in tho city of Toklo. Our board has organized and helped along a half dozen churches there but now they aro all independent and self-supporting, so that- we no longer have any pecuniary interest in tbem. At the outbreak of the war the Japanese were inclined to be suspicious of all Christians, because they know tho Russians to be Christians, but I understood that feeling had long ago died away." IS IMAGINATIVE. English Correspondent on the Trouble In Toklo. London Sept. 7.—The Tokio correspondent of Uie Daily Telegraph attributes the disorders in the Japanese capital to the arrest of live leaders of public opinion. He says that representatives from tho whole of Japan met Wednesday night and resolved to organize a national move from Hokkaido to Formosa and to memoralize the throne und the government against the ratification of the treaty of Portsmouth. The correspondent says that he anticipated an imperial manifesto to the people. He describes the rioters as composed mostly of fanatics hired by agitators. He believes the object of the mob is to deprive the city of light and then to liberate the prisoners In the jails. CUNNINGHAM IS DRASTIC. Condemns Two Hundred Boxes of Fruit In Vancouver. Vancouver Sept. 7.—Two hundred boxes of local grown fruit were condemned today by Thomas Cunningham, provincial fruit inspector, on bis finding i, uad.y affected with fungus. The fruit was in the hands of wholesale and retail merchants. Mr. Cunningham said in justification of bis drastic action: "This fruit comes from orchards west of the Rockies and is dumped here because it cannot be sold anywhere else. It is in a mesa and it is not good for the large numbers of tourists now in Vancouver to look at. This province now has a reputation to sustain, and the department is determined to keep the fruit clean. The Vancouver dealers, of all persons should not display fungus affected fruit. Iu tact it will not be permitted." AWAITING RATIFICATION Russia Prepared to Carry Out Spirit ot The Treaty, St. Petersburg, Sopt. 7.— Russia ia determined that the work commenced yesterday in administrative circles towards putting into effect the articles of tho peace treaty ehall be carried on in a spirit of fairness and equity and with the desire to avoid all poasiblo friction or misunderstanding. This work includes a new treaty of commerce with Japan, tbe establishment of a line dividing the island of Sakhalin, the definition of the Manchurian frontier, the cession of Russinn privileges in Manchuria, a working arrangement whereby through trains and freight may pass from the Russinn to the Japanese section of the railroad, the return of the Japanese prisoners to Russia and vice versa the payment for the maintenance of the same by each country etc. The resumption of actual diplomatic relations between the two countries will greatly facilitate these works and personal relations can be resumed immediately after the exchange of telegraphic notification from St. Petersburg and Tokio of the ratification of the treaty. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP Mayor Dunne's Convention at Work Today in Chicago Chicago, Sept. 7~The heads ot municipal governments of several hundred American cities are assembled In Chicago lo attend a conference which has been called by mayor Dunne and the Municipal Owner ship league of this cltv. for thc purpose of discussing the subject of municipal ownership from every Imaginable point of view. The object of calling tills conference was to spread thc doctrine of municipal ownership broadcast over tile country and thus to strengthen the position of the advocates of the doctrine, who won such an overwhelming victory at the last election in Ua city. Among the chief executives who attended llie opening session of the conference today nre many enthusiastic advocates of municipal ownership, but tho discussion disclosed the fact lhat there nre also some who have not much faith In the feasibility of the doctrine. The'dlf- llcultles with whicli tlie municipal adniln- Istatlon of Chicago hns to contend at the very outset in its attempt to carry out the doctrine of municipal ownership of street car lines to a practical lest, are used effectively ns arguments by the opponents of municipal ownership, The discouraging reports from some of the cities In Europe and ln this country where the system was tested for some time uie also used with considerable force, but It is doubtful if the opposition will be able to dampen the enthusiasm of the pro-ownership mayors. Tbe conference will last two days and during that time the visiting mayors will be rayoll entertained and given an opportunity to study the street car problems confronting tlio Chicago administration by personal observation. Tonight the vicitors were entertained al a banquet, NO. 116 CASE OF FORGERY Seventeen Year Old Vancouver Lad is Arrested Vancouver, Sept. 7—A sad case of "gone wrong" lias come to light In the arrest or Charles Taylor, a 17 year old lad living here.

FIRED BY TARTARS Transcaucasia a Prey to Bands of Pitiless Robbers Murder and Rapine Hold Unchallenged Sway Over Ihe Country-Russian Government Declares Itself Powerless DEATH OF JUDGE ROBERTSON Hamilton, Srpt. 7 — Ex-Judge Thomas Robertson Is dead, aged TS years. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—Though the despatch from Tiflis and current reports In St. Petersburg say that the oil works and tunlts m Baku have been entirely consumed and lhe town practically wiped out, according to a despatch to the Nobel company from Baku this is an error and the loss, though enormous, is uot complete. This despatch stated that tbe firing in the towu had ceased and that incendiarism had been checked. The fate of the tanks and works, which are not yet on fire, depends on tho wind, which is blowing a hurricane, Unless it changes and sweeps the flre back on tbe unaffected district there is hope of saving some of the properties. The sender of the despatch was unable to give details of the properly destroyed. The St. Petersburg press attacks the government for ils Indecision in handling events in the Caucasus, aud its neglect to take measures to reconcile the Armenians and Tartars and declares tbat the ruin of one of the most important industries In Russia and Immense losses to industrials and commerce are the fruits of the governmental disregard for years of the most legitimate and practical suggestions of the oil men, especially tlie government's refusal of their request for authority to establish a local organization for self-protection against tlio excesses of tlie natives. The authorities of the Caucasus would seem to have been taken completely by surprise by the Tartars. II is noi doubted It had long been planned and organized and it Is completed with the separatists movement. The operatives of Tiflis say they have unmistakable proof that the movement has been fanned by the Turkish emissaries and agitators bearing ii green standard, who are raising lhe whole country. Tbe Tartars tbo officials add, intend laying a regular siege to Baku, Shusha and other places, and they have already laid many villages In ruins anil have pitilessly massacred the inhabitants. Unless sufficient trrops are available promptly to suppress the outbreak in the Caucasus whicli the news from Baku would show not: to be tho case, the whole of that part of the country will be deviated aud tlm population's of the towns and villages butchered. The situation Is viewed in St. Petersburg with lhe utmost alarm. The managers of oil works at Baku,, despairing of lhe arrival of reinforcements of troops, have telegraphed direct to tbe emperor. The latest despatches [rom Baku give gruesome details of the carnage. No quarter was asked nor given by the Insurgent troops, ln lhe suburbs of Baku, the flames hnvo spread by a high wind, oue burning building afler another collapsing. Pillaging and murdering have been going uu everywhere. In various parts of tlie Caucasus bands of peasants have organized against the nobles anil are invading their domains and seizing all the firearms. Tiflis, Sept. 7.—All the spirit distilleries ami silk weaving works ln the district of Shusha have been burned by the Tartars. Part of the workmen succeeded In escaping to the mountains, but the remainder were killed. Orders have been given lo send wheat to Shusha to relievo the starving. The town of Tiflis is full of refugees from Baku, who have abandoned all their belongings. A deputation from the great petroleum works has asked military protection for twenty-five million pounds of combustible liquids, contained iu the reservoirs at Baku. SURROUNDED BY TARTARS. St. Petersburg, Sepl. 7.—The desperate condition of affairs at Baku is shown .by a telegram Horn the governor of Baku, who has sent an urgent despatch to Tiflis, saying that his troops nre surrounded by Tartars and will be Inevitably overwhelmed unless immediately relieved. BRITONS ARE SAFE. London, Sept. 7.—Telegrams from Baku received in London this afternoon say that the British subjects connected with thu oil works there numbering 1)0 to 100, are all safe. else, thoy say, will make good the dominion's promises of a steady means of communication which was one of the terms on which Prince Edward Island entered confederation, The estimated cost of the tunne( ls ten million dollars. GREAT TRADE INCREASE. United Kingdom's Trade Report Shows Values Greater Than 1904. London, Sept. 7.—The report on the United Kingdom's trade which has just been Issued shows that Great Britain's exports mid imports for this year have been far greater than they were ln 1904. The value or imports for July last was £44,741,S38, an Increase of no less than £3,785,237 over the value for the corresponding month last year and the exports show au Increase in value of £3,517,223. The increase in imports for the seven months ending ibis July, compared with last year's corresponding period, ls even greater, the Increase being close on £5,000,000, and exports show an increase of £18,000,000 over the same period- more than £11,000.000 of which is on British exports. mills, ho does not look favorably upon the prevention of the export ot logs from British Columbia to the Sound. Mr. Pat- eraon believes that it ls better to sell British Columbia "cull" cedar to the Americans than to allow It to rot In the woods. There is a market In the United States for lumber manufactured from such timber, but there Is no market on thla Bide of the lino for It. Consequently the question Is whether It ts better to realize on the poor quality timber or allow it to decay in the forests. Mr. Paterson ls of the opinion that if an Import duty of ?2 per thousand feet Is placed on rough lumber, one resultant effect will bo the shutting out of cheap lumber from the United States, and then tho British Columbia mills will have an opportunity of manufacturing from the poorer quaUty of timber now loft standing during logging operations.

Salmon is labelled to order of purchasers, and here tho divergence cotno in. Some llrnis put ou whatever label Is asked for, and others will not.

DEANE THE TARIKK COMMISSION. Thc tariff commission, consisting of Hon. W. S. Fielding, minister of llnance; Hon. W. Paterson, minister of customs, and Hon. L. p. Brodeur, minister of inland revenue, is now in session in Winnipeg and ils itinerary aa far west aa Regina has been arranged. So far as can be ascertained no definite arrangements have aa yet heen made for sessions of the commission west of Regina. Aa announced at the time of its appointment, the commission is to sit in this province to hear any recommendations for tariff reform that British Columbia boards of trade, industrial organizations, and others interested may havo to present. A session of the commission should certainly be held tn the Kootenay district, la recent years various applications have been made to the dominion government on behalf of Kootenay Industries (for tariff changes, notably In regard to lead and lumber, and It would appear to be eminently desirable that advantage should be taken of the visit pf the tariff commissioners to take up these and other matters with them on the .spot. Apart from the special interest attaching to tho approaching visit of three members of the dominion cabinet, it would he very unfortunate if they were permilted to pass through this province Without being afforded an opportunity of Inspecting the chief mining and smelting undertakings ol the Kootenay district, as well as of seeing something of the extensive lumbering operations. A strong effort should be mude to Impress these ministers willi the extent and Importance of Kootenay's chief industries and wlith that object In view plans should at once be perfected for the profitable employment of such lime as they may bo able to devote to this part of the country. The program should at least include Inspection of the coal and coke industry at Fernie and vicinity, a visit to the chief sawmills In and around Cranbrook, a visit to the Marysville smelter, a stop at Moyie to see the St. Eugene mine. Inspection of the*Hall Mines, Trail and Boundary smelters and a visit lo the big mines of Rossland, Phoenix aud Greenwood. We would urge upon those chiefly concerned, particularly Ihe boards of trade, lhe Importance of at once getting iuto communication with tho members of the tariff commission and of making early arrangements for their visit, so that Kootenay may beneflt to the full from the opportunity now at hand of enlightening some of the chief members of sir Wilfrid Laurier's cabinet THE ZINC ENQUIRY. Dr. Haanel, dominion superintended of mines, who, under llie department of the Interior, has charge of the ziuc investigation, has authorized a change in the personnel of the commission entrusted with tlio work, Mr. John L. Retallack, of Kaslo. being substituted for Mr. A. C. Garde, of this city, as assistant to Messrs. Ingalls and Argall. The appointment of Mr. Garde in the first place waa made by Ur. Haanel on his own responsibility and without consulting those best acquainted with the requirements of the case. This ill-advised action of Dr. Haanel was most unfortunate as it places Mr. Garde in an invidious position wholly undeservedly, lt is quite intelligible that mine owners and those directly concerned in the present zine investigation should, with their intimate knowledge of the local situation, expect to be consulted in reference Io the choice of the member of the commission upon whom would necessarily ' involve the work of organizing the enquiry. Had they been consulted at the outset recommendations would have been made that would have obviated the present unpleasant contretemps. Mr, Retallack's appointment we understand to be entirely acceptable to the mine owners, and this means a very great deal for Ihe success of the enquiry, for upon the cordial co-operation of the mine owners depends in large measure the efficiency of lhe investigations lo be made by Ihe experts. Mr. Retallack can be relied upon to do his part In a painstaking and thorough manner. He haa devoted a great deal of time In the past few years io the earnest advocacy of Ihe claims of the mining industry aud his work at Ottawa in connection with the lead bounty and more recently, tn assisting lo secure the appointment of the zinc commission, with which he is now connected in an advisory capacity, is a guarantee that he will do all ia his power to see that the investigation is carried out and the government advised in the best Interests of the communities concerned. Dr. flannel's prompt compliance with the request that arrangements be made for free assays of zinc ore specimens at Nelson during the enquiry is entirely satisfactory, Those arrangomenis will be completed with as little delay as possible and should prove of very great advantage lo claim owners and prospectors. In ibis connection It mny be well to point out. that thero never has been any design to bring in an assayer from the cjist or elsewhere to do this work. There are competent assayors residents in Nelson and once the necessary authority was obtained for tiie establishment of an offico for free assays steps were to be taken to organize tho work with the usstelance of local men. This course will now be adopted. Jt Ls to bo hoped that the zinc investigation will now proceed satisfactorily and expeditiously. A great deal Is looked for from the work In hand and with everything running smoothly anticipations should not be disappointed. MINING RECORDS At the mining recorder's ofllce on Thursday a bill of suit; was recorded from Potfl San tine lo Joseph Sturgeon, conveying the Sunset mineral claim situate three and a half miles west ol' Hall Siding; consideration nominal. Certificates of work were Issued to Napoleon Pratt an tiie Independence and to to Neil Gethlllg on llie Granby at the head of Grohman creek. CELEBRATE TRAFALGAR ENGLAND TAKE THE INITIATIVE PROPOSAL POR A GENERAL CIVIC HOLIDAY At a meeting of the Song of England, held In the hull of the Knights of Pythias lust evening, it wns decided that the society, In common with the lodges of tlio fraternity all over the Dominion und everywhere, indeed, under the British flag, would celebrate the 21st of October next and would welcome the co-operallou of any citizens who desire to take part in this patriotic holiday. The occasion Is, of course, the centenary of the victory or admiral Horatio Nelson over the combined French und Spanish fleets one hundred yenrs ago. Tiie victory came in the middle of perhaps the dailtfcst period ihe empire has every known. Seven years before ihe bunk of Bngland had yes. pended cash payments und consols were at their lowem ever known. Just btforo llie battle consols were sold at M li, and money could be bonrowed only nt n.ost exorbitant rates of Interest. Afler Trafalgar all fear of Invasion wus lost und from that date to this Great Britain has ruled mistress of the seas without question. Never again did consols touch so low a point. It Is the .remembrance of these things that has created a movement to celebrate the centenary of the hem who lost his life -while winning the battle whicli Is embracing the whole empire. In Great Britain a national holiday haa been proclaimed and thJa has also been done In different parts of the empire. In the discussion of last evening It trunsplrcd that many of Nelson's citizens wero In more than cordial sympathy with the Idea und th,. committee which was appointed by the Sons of England to mako the preliminary arangemonis were Instructed to Invlle i][(. co-operation of every citizen of Nelson. It was suugi-stod tbat, following the precedent elsewhere, that a civic holiday he proclaimed, that the children hold their sports on this occasion, which la near the usual date, that patriotic, speeches be made and national gnniCH played. It wan stated that the Launch club would make the day a gala occasion and the statement was hailed by applause. A banquet wlil also form one of the features of thc occasion. The Sons of England in any case will celebrate but they have no doubt that this dty of Nelson will not lose the occasion of celebrating: Nelson's day. FERNIE AGAIN UNLUCKY ELK LUMBER COMPANY'S MILL IS BURNED TO TIIE GROUND FIRE APPLIANCES WERE FIRST TO BE CONSUMED (Special to T'he Dully News) Fornie. Sept, 7—Tlie Elk Lumber and Manufacturing company's mill was destroyed by lire early this morning. Tlie lire originated somewhere in the back of the mill about 4:.io a.m., and It was only when the watchman wns inking measures to get up steam, about 5 o'clock, thai tht alarm was given. By this lime the greates part of the mil! was enveloped In Humes which shot up Into the air to u great height. This mill was supplied with everything of a modern character to light fir There was u splendid up to dale pump ami hose which would be sufficient to meet any emergency, bin unfortunately at tho time of the first alarm the flames had already enveloped that part of the mill which contained these requisites. The mill people were therefore powerless and tho only llilng they could do was to cut off the lately built pinning addition. Fortunately there was no wind or the tiro might have turned out much more serious than it was, The "plant was said to bo the best equipped in eastern BJrllBsh Columbia Some of Iho workmen lost their tools, one man losing over $lotf worth. Tlie mill wns about finishing the summer out and would have loaed down In a week or two. No- ibody seems to know anything regarding the origin of the lire. The Insurance is ns follows: British American, $10,000; Royal, $3750; Phoenix, %12,- 500; Scottish Union and National, »,000 and Germun-American, $10,000; total, $55,- 000. The loss was In the neighborhood Of $100,000.

LEASING SANDON MINKS Business Improving—Good Inducements offered Small Capitalists (Special to The Dally News) Samlou, Sept. 7—Things around Sandon are Improving, A number of small leases have been let of late. This camp now should offer good inducements for persons wishing lo take a'chance on a leo.se und bond, the prices now being very reasonable, also terms, more so than one could get In a cump where there Is a boom on. Should ore be found at the lower levels In the tunnels now being driven, the present prices on property will of course go up. Now Is the time lo get In cheap. The. Sloean Star shut down about a week ago, but they have left about 30 men on development. The low water was the cause of the company shutting down as eun'ly as they did. The company contemplates starting a lower tunnel this winter. J. A. Whlttler hns a small force of men working on the Grey Copper. This property adjoins the Reco-Goodenongh and the vein which is being worked Is a parallel vein to tlie Reco-Goodenough. Lt carries high grade galena and zinc. Mr. Whlttler expects to ship a car or two for a test In a few days. Mr. Whlttler lias also u couple of men at work on the Stranger, a property close to the Grey Copper, at the head of Jackson basin. W. M. Bennett has taken a lease und bond on the Rowse Fraction group, up tlie north fork of Carpenter creek. This property is owned by W. Hunter and G. Fairbanks of Silverton and was worked by them last winter with fairly good success, lit ls not far from the Jo-Jo. It Is a high grade dry ore property. Mr, Blg- ney has ulso leased the Excelsior group from J. Vullunce of New Denver. This property Is on the same ereek as the Rowse Fraction group but on the other side of the creek. It wus worked extensively by N. D. Moore and associates some yeurs ago. The Bachelor group Is improving and tbe lessees have now about 14 men employed. They are building quarters for the winter and getting into shape to Ship shortly. Messrs, McMillan and Pound have the contract for building the chutes and ore bins for the Monitor Mines at Three Forks. They will be completed shortly, This ■company intends to move these dumps and have them treated at their mill ul Rosebery. Work will ulso be resumed In the mine. This Is the same company whicli recently purchased the Bosun mines, Alex. Smith of the Surprise mine will take hold of the No. 3 tunnel ln the Last Chance about the middle of tbe month and drive It through to his property, thereby gaining u great depth and being able to take his ore oui on the Sandon side of the mountain und over the Lust.

CANADIAN WANTS DAMAGES Man BVom Winnipeg Brings Action Against City of Scuttle Seattle, Sept, 7—"Damp, dark, cold, vermin Infested, lllthy and in every way an Improper place for the keeping of the person of a human being," Is the way In Whioh A. Nicholson of Wlnlpeg, describes Seattle's city Jail. Mr. Nicholson knows all about the place for he was there eight days and lias now brought a. claim of $-">0U0 for false Imprisonment against the city. Nicholson was arrested un August 1 on suspicion of bel'lrf Implicated In a holdup here. Assault, willi Intent to commit robbery was the way lhe charge was read to him at police headquarters, According 1" his own story he was Imprisoned for eight days on very slight grounds for suspicion, not given sulllclent food ami w.-y badly treated generally b lhe police. He wus arrested by otilcer Martin. Nicholson says there wus no reason why he should have been arrested, but Martin thinks that the police were justified in their action. According to Nicholson his week at the jail was anything but pleasant. Ho wus, he asserts, obliged to sleep on a cold dump and lllthy cement Iloor, housed with the lowest criminals, eating disgusting food and without ii bed or bedding. He thinks he was caused enough Buffering to warrant the city giving him 55000. Brutal and abusive answers and curses were handed out to him In bunches, Nicholson states, when he usk<'d lo communicate with the Uritish consul or with a lawyer, and to cap lhe climax after his eight days of trouble lie wus simply let louse without uny hearing being given, or an opportunity, according io bis statement, of finding out with what offence lie had been charged.

RECEPTION TO MINISTERS BOARD OF TRADE WILL BANQUKT TARIFF COMISSIONERS COUNCIL PREPARE BUSINESS FOR MEETING NEXT WEEK The forthcoming visit to Nelson of the dominion ministers composing the tariff commission, Hon \V. a. Fielding, Hon. \V. Paterson and lion. L. P. Brodeur, will ho probably made the occasion of a public reception. Kelson hus, apparency no special grievance to lay before the tariff coin- mission. It Is possible that udvainage will be taken of the opportunity by tlie board of trade to Interview the llnance minister, Hon. W. S. Fielding, in regard to the Incidence of taxation and Its ei- fecf ou British Columblu industries. The matter was discussed yesterday afternoon at a meeting oi" the council of the board of trade, attended by J. M. Lay, P. Starkey, \V. W. Beer, F, Al. Block, E. F. Glgot, J Drewe, and S. M. Brydges, secretary. Notices lo the board of the meeting of the railway commission iu New Westminister and of the tariff commission: in Nelson, were read. As Nelson's case was fully presented to tho commission a year ago, the ilrst communication was referred to the wholesalers' association, The secretary was Instructed to write the secretary of the tariff ■commission lo learn when und by what route the members will arrive In Nelson, The precise form whioh the public reception to the ministers will take will be decided at the general meeting of ihe board .if trade next Tuesday oveninj. Another question discussed and which will probably be presented to the board for further acllun, was tliul of freight cars for ore in bulk. At present coal, and coke und ore sacked, ure given preferential treatment over oilier freight In the matter of time of delivery. An extension of the accommodation to ore in hulk will undoubtedly be asked from the C.P.R. freight department. SCOTT-HEWITT At St. Paul's church Michel on Wednesday. Sept.
