THE DAILY NEWS /37 n SEP1.M05 <£,j VOL. 4 NELSON, B. 0., TUESDAY, AUGUST 29, 1905 s*^rORiA.g; JAPANESE BACOOWN Waives an Indemnity and Submits Sakhalin to Arbitration Latest Peace Stoiy Emanating From Portsmouth, Which is Contradicted by Both Missions Alike Portsmouth, Aug. 28.—Tomorrow morning, baron Komura, acting upon instructions received from Toklo, as a result of today's meeting of the cabinet and "elder statesmen" under the direct presidency of the emperor of Japan will submit to M. Witte. a new basis of compromise, and that compromise, it is firmly believed tonight, will insure peace. The revelation contained In the Associated Press excluslvo announcement today that Japan had already informed emperor Nicholas through ambassador Meyer that Japan was ready to waive the question of indemnity and submit the price to be paid for the northern half of Sakhalin to the judgment of a mixed tribunal, has prepared the way for Japan's backdown upon the main Issue. The announcement has been the sensation of the day. It has met with denials, it was declared to be Impossible. The Japanese declined, to admit It, and the Russians said they had no confirmation. M. Witte Intimated strongly that St. Petersburg had not appraised them of any suoh action. There was even a disposition to ridicule the Idea of arbitrating the price of half of the Island. RUSSIA MAKES PEACE If Japan Will Only Surrender Claim to Indemnity. St. Petersburg, Aug. 28.—The Associated Press despatch from Portsmouth declaring that president Roosevelt was authorized several days ago on behalf of Japan to waive all claim for Indemnity or reimbursement for the cost of the war, and to cede back to Russia the northern half of the island of Sakhalin leaving the "redemption'' price of It to the arbitration of a nrlxed commission, was received too late here tonight to reach the general public. But Its signillcance was instantly recognized in quarters where it became known There is every reason to believe, judging from the official expressions persistently given out by the foreign office since the beginning of the negotiations at Portsmouth, that the proposal by Japan to waive the question of Indemnity goes far toward removing the last, and according lo official explanation, the only stumbling block in the way of peace. The foreign office has said Hint every disputed point between Russia and Japan, with the exception of indemnity has been practically arranged, on a basis satisfactory to both sides, but that Russia yrould never pay an Indemnity. If the latest proposals of Japan mean that she waives all claims to indemnity of any kind, or description, giving up all Idea of reimbursement for ' the expenses of lhe war In any guise whatever, and ln place therefore is prepared to accept lor the restoration to Russia of the northern half of Sakhalin, a .redemption to be fixed by unbiased commission, this price to be determined upon tlio actual value of the Island, and not to take into account Japan's war expenses, or to carry a concealed in- demnty to Japan, there is reason for the assertion that iu all probability the stumbling block to peace can be re- movod, and there ought to be a new and promising basis for the continuance of the negotiations. DR. MOFFAT'S DEATH. Honored Presbyterian Divine Dies at Toronto, Aged 7t. (Specinl to The Dally News) Toronto, Aug. 28.—In the death of Rev. Dr. Robert C. Moffat, secretary of .the Upper Canada Tract Society, Canada loses ono of its oldest and most honored Presbyterian divines. Dr. Moffat was in his 74th year and enjoyed good health until about four months ago, when he was seized with a severe attack of stomach trouble. He Is survived by a widow, one daughter, and one son, James W. Moffat, induing engineer, ot Nolson, B. C. EXPLOSION PREVENTED Bush Fires At Phoenix Mado Quick Work Necessary. (Special to The Dally News) Phoenix, Aug. 28—Some of the quickest handling of a large quantity of giant powder that ever took place In this section was done here Saturday afternoon. Supt. Smith of the Granby mines, decided that the bush and forest fires were getting too close to the Oranby powder and thawing houses and foreman Swanson ordered It removed to am unused tunnel in the mine. The company's teams', town teams and about 300 men set at work, aided' by a locomotive of the C. P. R. with box ears, and In about an hour the whole lot was wifely moved. There were two or three cars of giant powder n the lot, or soine- NO. 107 thing like 60,000 pounds. Yesterday back flres were made around1 the powder house as a further precaution. Forest fires were still raging yesterday in nearly every direction from here, and were spreading. The Great Northern had their section crews out here, and other crews were out back-firing wherever possible. The city hose was also stretched to be in readiness should occasion require. Last night, most fortunately, a drenching rain fell for some time, which has to a large extent smothered the flres. •■ s SPORT OF JHE FLAMES FERNIE ONCE AGAIN SERIOUSLY THREATENED DESPERATE HAND TO HAND ENCOUNTER WITH FIRE /Special to The Daily News) Fernie, Aug. 28—Saturday ln Fornte was a day replete with excitement and danger so far as fire la concerned. Mention hus already been made of the bush fires on the western side of the city. Scarcely had the embers of the morning's destructive flre ceased to glow, when another alarm of fire waa given from tho northwestern part of the city, amid tho brush and timber which threatened to destroy the Great Northern -railway station, a train of box cars and the dwellings of many well to do miners and workmen employed by the coal oompany. Of late the company has sold many building lots in this part of the town on which neat and comfortable residences have been erected. Many of these lots have been partly cleared; some still contain stunted trees, some erect, some lying in great confusion on the ground, but all dry and inflammable as tindcr.The brush between the tracks and the lots and residences spoken of Is also dry, and as a high wind was blowing at the time, it carried sparks into the brush and it was soon on fire. Once on fire the flames rushed with a roar tike thunder towards the station and the dwellings spoken of. While the officials of the company were •battling heroically to save the company's property, the coal company's locomotive arrived and took the box cars out of danger. The fire had, however, made rapid hendway In the direction of the dwellings on the lately purchased lots. Everything in the shape of personal property ■was removed from the dwellings and the owners made a desperate stand, fortunately with success, with -buckets of water. A large hose was procured and attached to ono of the hydrants of the largo main Just laid, and a stream of water was procured which did good service. Flying embers soon set on flre the fallen trees and brush to the north and the flre travelled gaily over a quarter of a mile of ground and soon was threatening the dwellers of thc tenderloin. These unfortunate women turned out and battled with the flames In a manner which reflected credit on them. At about 7 p.m. the danger might he said to have passed but there are still bunches of flre here and there which may prove dangerous should the wind change suddenly to the north. The Great Northern railway escaped after a hard light. Tho flres on the eastern side nre still burning fiercely, and a good strong wind from the northeast will certulnly make them dangerous to the city. MUST SURRENDER CONCESSION Chinese Do Not Want American Railroad in China Oyster Bay, Aug. 28-J. P/erpont Morgan Iind an extended conference today with president Roosevelt. The conference related to matters appertaining to the Canton Hankow railroad In China and its probable disposition by the profit owner, the American China DevclopmeriWbompany. The flrm of J. P. Morgan and company practically controls the road and its concessions. Mr. Morgan visited the president two or three weeks ago on a mission similar to that of today. Subsequently sir Chen- tung Liang Chleng, the Chinese minister, conferred with tho president on the same subject. The Chinese government has proposed to the American Development company that it sell the rood and its concessions to China, the price generally regarded as being close to the precise figure is $7,000,WO. So far as can bo learned the directors of the company have not passed ■finally upon the offer of the Clhnese government. It ls said that tho directors Intend to hold a meeting tomorrow ln Jersey City, tho American China Development boing a New Jersey corporation, and it is likely that at the meeting if it be held, the question of the disposition of the road will be determined definitely. EXTRAORDINARY DISAPPEARANCE Father and Mother Leave Their Babes in an Hotel at Albany Albany, Aug. 28—Evdence regarding the identity of Mr. and Mrs. John Rogers who ■went out of the hotel Teneyck here Friday night leaving their two little boys, one a baby of six months and the other a six year old boy, In tho euro of a chambermaid, is steadily accumulating, but their whereabouts is as much a mystery os ever. Thus far nothing has developed to Indicate that the Rogers are fleeing fiom Justice. One theory upon which the police are working Is that, finding themselves at the end of their resources, they have committed sudride. Another theory is that they may not be far away but unable for some reason to communicate wit hthe hotel people here. ..« TO END DISPUTE Confcrtnce at Nanaimo Was Conducted in the Most Friendly Spirit Referring to the conference at Nanaimo between superintendent Stockett of tho Western Fuel company and representatives of the United Mine Workers, the Nanalmo Herald Bays: "The flrst movement In the direction of a friendly settlement of the present labor trouble between the miners and tho Western Fuel company was taken yesterday when a committee, composed of it. Booth, Jos. Hardy, J. W. Graham, and George Johnston, were', received by manager Stockett, and held a lengthy conference on the status of the dispute, and as near as can be learned, separated with the best of feeling, and a bright hope on both sides that the differences would be adjusted before long. Members of the committee who were spoken to ln regard to the results of the conference sold that a distinct step in advance had been taken. Each knew exactly where the other stood. Tlio conference had beeu conducted In Uie most friendly spirit. They had parted good friends and as near as could bo Judged thuce wero no insurmountable difficulties iu tni? way of settlement, Mr. Stockett expressed himself ln practically the same term* Both slues, lie said, were perfectly frank In stating their views, and an excellent spirit of friendliness prevailed through out. If that spirit continues he did not (iuubt that an agreement would be arrived at. Mr. Hawihonithwaiite also had interviews with the executive committee of the United Mine Workers at 2 o'clock, and during tlie early part of the day with Mr. Stockett. When spoken to lust night re- gurding the result of these Interviews, he sold; the United Mine Workers had listened to his explanation regurdlug the proposed conference, and had decided to consider it among theuiflBlves und send him a reply through thc secretary. As for his interview with Mr. Slockett he preferred to say nothing publicly at present." FUTURE OFTHE GRANBY WILL INSTALL NINTH ' FURNACE AT THE SMELTER. ALL THE PROPERTIES WILL BE VIGOROUSLY DEVELOPED. Phoenix, Aug. 28.—Jay P. Graves, general manager of the Granby Co., has just completed an inspection of the company's urines here, aud haa returned to Spokane. He was accompanied on. the trip hy Mrs. Graves, and with Mr. Hodges, the general superintendent, went over the mines thoroughly, especially as regards the mines recently acquired, including the Gold Drop and Monarch groups. On these groups considerable prospecting has already been done on the immense ore bodies existing there, and besides thiis diamond drills have been working on them for tmoniths. On the Monarch an ore quarry has already beeu opened, ami shipments of ore averaging a couple of cars a day are being made, the ore for the present being hauled, by wagons to the compressor siding on the C. P. R. It is the intention to vigorously push work on the opening up of the Gold Drop also at an early date, and to accommodate these properties u tramway will be built ami ore bunkers erected at the C. P, R. tracks. It will require about six months to manufacture and install the new machinery for the 'headwords for the main three eonvparLinent Incline shaft, including tiie 200 h. p. electric, hoist, which will be capable of raising four or five tons of ore (rom a depth oC 1000 feet. By the time the machinery is on the ground the shaft will be ready for it. Meanwhile tlie lower levels of OKI Ironsides mine are being thorn uglily explored. From the bottom1 of the winze, running from the 300 to the 100 foot levels, the oro body has been crosscut for upwards of 230 feet, and some of the best ore in the mines has been found here. Drifts from this crosscut are now being run in several directions. In addition to this, the winze is being continued' to -the 500 foot level, the explorations thus far proving that the average values are improving as depth is attained. Mr. Hodges states that six furnaces are once more being steadily operated at the company's reduction works at Grand Forks and that he expects to have No. 7 furnace blown in by the 1st of September, No. 8 to follow in a short while thereafter. This will give a daily capacity of reducing some 2600 or 2700 tons of ore. It is also the intention to install a ninth furnace at the smelter at no distant date, Mr. Hodges stating that he can do this without increasing the size of the furnace room at the smelter. As the two new furnaces are larger than any of the six old ones, so the ninth furnace is likely to be larger still, and will give the works a dally capacity of considerably over 3000 tons of ore. The converter has already heen enlarged so that it can take care of the output of nine furnaces. ■HOTBLKEEPERS COMBINE (Specinl to Tho Daily News} Phoenix.

St. Petersburg, Aug. 28.—Telegrams flroiTi various centers (Including Riga, Wlnnau, and Slm'birak, announce the beginning of an extensive mobilisation of army reserves. Rumors are current of the impending resignation of general Durnovo, governor general of Moaoew* i RICH NORTH FORKVALLEY Three Big Copper Camps Waiting for Railway Connection G. A. Macleod, Manager of McKinley Mine, Tells of Undeveloped Wealth-District of Immense Resources One of the most important mining districts of British Columbia, of proved richness and extent, is awaiting only facM'Uiea for transportation to become a great producer and an addition to the wealth of Grand Forks directly, and indirectly of the whole province. The attainment of railway connection not only with Grand Forks but also with Vernon, may not he very far away. When the valley of the north fork of the Kettle river is opened by a railway, and ithe mines in its three big camps are developed and shipping ore, the whole of southern Yale will feel an immense stimulus. The character of tihe ore, with its high percentage of iron and silica, and1 Its proved extent, are guarantees of great wealth to he derived by the development of the district. The mineral deposits have been examined and fav- orubly reported upon by many geological experts, among them Prof. R. w.'j Brock. All are agreed as to bhe immense value of the deposits, and the desirability of developing them. The resources of the nortli fork valley are not only mineral. The land ls covered witii splendid -timber, the valley Is fertile, and lhe .hill sides suited for orchards or grazing land. There are no engineering difficulties in the way. A railway can be constructed from Grand Forks up the valley and through lo Vernon, according to railway engineers who have been over the ground, with a grade of less than one per cent. There is already a wagon road for 3U miles north of Grand Forks, and another for 47 miles south east from Vernon. The country between is still without 'trans'torlalion facilities of any kind. Tlie great value of such a connecting link 'in the C. P. R. system requires no demonstration. It would connect the fruit lands of Okanagan with the markets of tihe Boundary mining camps, would tap the coal areas of the Nicola valley for the benefit of Boundary smelters, and would open up a large country of great and varied resources. The valley of the nortli fork though known to prospectors and other mining ■men is as yet little known to the gen- ] oral pumic. G, A. Macleod, manager of the McKinley mine In Franklin camp, has been spending several days with his parents in Nelson. Seen by a representative of The Daily News yesterday, Mr, Macleod said: "It is admitted generally In the Boundary that the future of Grand Forks is bound up with the future of the north fork valley. North of the city for GO miles extend large areas of timber, orchard and pasture land. Within 70 nViles of Grand Forks are three great mineral camps. "The first is the Volcano^ so-called from Volcano mountain, an immense deposit of magnetic iron. Any part of It Is worth $2 a ton. That doesn't pay there, of course, but with cheap transportation und economic treatm-ant, It coud easily be -mado to yield 50 cents a ton profit, and the amount ia unlimited. But every where through it much higher values arc obtained. "In the camip arc the Volcanic, Pathfinder, Bonanza, and across the river towards Phoenix, the Wolverine, Strawberry, Seattle and ilunnming Bird. "That is the first great camp, only 10 miles north of Grand Forks, and connected with it by wagon road. "About .10 miles farther north the Franklin camp begins- There are found the largest surface showings ln the Boundary. Few of them are as yet proved at any depth. But wherever work has been done, it has never failed to show Indications of very high values. A very important feature is that the ore Is all self-fluring. The formation is very distinct, lime, conglomerates, porphyry and quartzlte occur. "Further north, 2* miles, Is the Thunder Hill camp. One shipment from the Waterloo mine returned H69 ounces of sliver to the ton. Another of five tons from the Thunder Hill returned 160 ounces of silver to the ton at the Hall Mllnes smelter. Speaking of Franklin camp, Mr. Macleod said: "On the McKlnley three edges are exposed. The main body has been proved vTor 200 feet width and 125 feot depth. We have,had high assays, but I prefer to give the lowest estimates. Tho ore can be absolutely relied 'upon for 3 per cent copper, 80 cents to $1 ln gold, and 2 ounces of sliver. "There are two other ledges, each proved for a depth of 20 feet only. The ledges are 10 foet wide. The average value of the ore ln gold, silver and copper is about $20 a ton. A depth of 1000 feet can be attained by a tunnel 1500 feet in length. "The Gloster, adjoining the McKinley, contains the largest deposit of mag netic iron in southern British Columbia. The ledge ls 100 feet wide. It stands out in bluffs 50 feet high. Practically no work has yet been done on it, but assays show over 60 per cent of Iron and 4 per cent of silica, a feature WiMch makes it of great value to smelters. It also carries about $2 in gold and copper. On another claim in bhe same group, the Gloster, a 55 foot shaft has been sunk. At the bottom of the shaft Is five feet of chalcopyrites carrying 13 per cent of copper and about $3.50 iu gold and silver. "A great amount of work has been done 'in Franklin camp In the way of development, although we have been greatly handicapped by lack of transportation facilities, even of wagon roads. It is impossible to get machinery In. "The developments at the McKlnley and Gloster mines are a fair Indication of what the other properties will develop. The McKinley has done far the most, work so far. On Its Immediate success depends the progress of mining in the north fork valley, which, I believe, contains the biggest and richest copper properties in southern British Columbia. "The prospects of early construction? Well, we are not worrying about It. Numerous survey parties .have heen through the valley this year. Engineers have demonstrated that a line from ■Grand Forks to Yemen can he built with a grade of less than one per cent. There are four mining camps of the first class to be served by it. wanting for It. Already from Vernon there is a wagon road 47 miles long towards the headwaters of the Kettle river. "The country has never been boomed. In fact very little has ever been said or written about it But It is richer in mineral, timber and agricultural resources than any other district of equal area In the province. A road through it could also haul the Nicola valley coal to the smelters of the Boundary. "I think it is safe to say that the Grand Forks to Vernon line will be built within two years. In the meantime a continuation of the wagon road from Grand Forks to the camp' is assured for this fall or early next spring at the latest. Then it will be demonstrated to alt that there is another great copper camp lu British Columbia."

RANCHERS FIGHTING FIRE Properties at six Mile Point in Danger From Spreading Flumes The fire which broke out early last week on the mountain above Six Mile point has spread, fanned by strong winds, and Ik now causing anxiety, to the ranchers In the neighborhood. It lias already marred the beauty of one of the finest pieces of scenery on the lake. It is believed to have originated from the operations of some Chinamen engaged In clearing land belonging to C. Gauaner, Tho authorities have been making Investigations, During the lost two days C. \V. West, G. Shell). II. Broadwood and S. L. Innes have been using their utmost endeavors to limit the range of the conflagua- tlon.

ORE IN BARROW OP DIRT New Dlscovory of Ore on Fermoy mlno at Ten Mile Gold and silver have often been found ln unlikely places, but probably a wheel* borrow full of dirt Is as novel a place as any for a mineral strike to be made. G. W. Bartlett has received a letter from W. J. Richards., his foreman at the Fermoy mine, on Ten Mile creek. Mr, Rich* arris tells of his noticing ore on the top of a barrow that he thought contained only country rock and earth. He at once went to the spot It came from, and foun 1 ■ Jx Inches of ore ln the drift, with a depth as great as he has reached, The new discovery is on gifund where no ore wits expected.

FISHERIES COMMISSION PROSPECT OF AN EARLY MEETING IN SEPTEMBER. PROPOSAL TO MEET THE UNITED STATES ON PUGET SOUND. (Special to The Dally News) Ottawa, Aug. 2.8—Professor Prince, chairman ol tne British Columbia fishery con.mission haa arranged to reach Victoria about the end of this month and the first sitting of the commission will be held in. that oity early in September. A a>iiiuiuuii.*ai.iou has been sent to the governor of the state of Washington, desiring that the Canadian, and the United States eonuni'lssiou may meet in ■conference at Bellingham, Seattle and other Puget Sound points while the fall salmon fishing is being carried on. The commissioners will meet 1)001x113 of trade and fishermen's associations; making preliminary visits to traps and to other fishing grounds. LIGHTNING BOLTS AT PLAY Strange Work of Electricity in Nelson Houses. At exactly 20 minutes io i o'clock yesterday morning—more than a hundred citizens recorded the time—Nelson was visited by a whole party of lightning bolts, that caused .sensations and shocks n many quarters, but, fortunately did no serious damage. As men gathered down town yesterday morning there were few who had not special experiences to recount. Many strange pranks were recorded. A party at the residence of A. W. Dyer, Silica street, were startled by a shock and bhe sound of splintering glass. The only damage done was the burning out of one electric light. At the Hume hotel some late guests were astonif-hed f * soe the lights go out and .hear all the hells ia the big building begin ringing at once. The only result was burned out lights and tangled wires. Another party In the Office saloon saw the .lightning play round the mlr- rows and stands behind the bar. Peoplo passing on Ward street saw lines of flame play along tho wires. John Lniebaugh wus standing In the office of the Nelson Transfer company. He suites that a ball of fire hit htini in the head. Certainly lie was knocked down by the shock. The really serious effort of the bolta was made at the residence of Mr. Sutcllfie, Vernon street, in the room where Mr. Sutcliffe was, at the time, sleeping. The lightning probably entered by an electric light wire. It set lire ito the partition in two places, knocked dowu and broke two large pictures and stopped a clock disfiguring Its face and breaking its ornaments. The strangest freak, however, was the tearing of a small picture from one wall burling it across the room, and driving its owu nails into the opposite wall. It spoiled all the picture frames In the room leaving them dull. AU this passed before the eyes of Mr. Sutcliffe as he lay iu bod. The bolt retired by way of the kitchen, ripping a big ihole in the iloor matting, and putting all the electric lights out of commission. RAIN CHECKS FIRES Danger Averted ln Many Places—Smoke Clouds Disappear The rain that fell in tho early hours of yesterday morning was a blessing in many respects. There wns not enough to extinguish the forest fires that ore still burning in many localities, but It Id not likely that tho burnt area will Increase greatly now, and more rain may be expected soon. Tho pall of smoke that hung over Nelaon Saturday and Sunday was the densest for mnny years. While that remained, tourists would see little of tho mountain lake and river scenery that they come to Nelson to enjoy. A greater benefit from tho rain than relief to the eyes of residents and Increased pleasure of tourists, ls the timely aid uf- forded to those who have beon lighting flro In many places. At Kaslo on Saturday afternoon the flames had crept within the city limits and threatened many dwellings, among them the residence of Georgo Alexander. Tlie flro brigade with all its equipment, reinforced by many volunteers, worked hard. At last by burning against the Ure and wetting all tho intervening space, the danger was temporarily averted from that quarter. From every district the information to hand last night Indicated that the timely- rain had checked the flres, probably ef* fectually, GRAND FORKS NEWS NOTES (Special to The Dally News) Grand Forks, Aug. 28A new hardware store Is boing opened here by Thomas MeTntyre, The Reliance laundry recently burned down, is being rebuilt. A black bear was seen yesterday within the city limits. Chose was given but bruin got clear off. '**•. CARTWRIGHT HMIEWS Wants Improved Service Between Yokohama and London Thinks it can be Accomplished by Giving Carriage of the Transatlantic Nails to the Canadian Pacific (Special to Tbe Dally News) Ottawa, Aug. 28.—It is understood that the government 'has decided to allow the Allam Dine a live years' extension of its contract for the carriage of the Transatlantic malls to and; from Canadian ports. Report says that the minister of trade and commerce was strongly iu favor of entrusting the service to the C.P.R. and' encouraging that company at the same time to improve the Pacific service to China and Japan and to shorten the train service between Montreal and Vancouver to four daya. By bo doing, sir Richard Cart-wright believes the C. P. R. could establish a twenty or twenty-one days' service between London and Yokohama, and secure a large share of the travel to and from the far east for the Cnadian route, as well as greatly assisting Canadian trade both with China and Japan. TIMES ON CONFEDERATION Thinks Canada and West Indies Have Little in Common London, Aug. 28—The Times commenting on the federation of Canada and the West Indies says: "On the face of It federation between the West Indites and Canada must be an arrangement very dlillcult to carry out. There are physical objections, it Is some 1300 miles from Halifax to Kingston. The two regions differ so much in climate and In their whole conditions of life as to mako the practical working out of any such a scheme almost Inconceivable. A still mora serious objection lies lu the fact that the dominion Is ln the fullest sense of the word self governing, and that tho West Indies aro crown colonies, where representative institutions are and must be very Imperfectly developed. Canada also does no* want to be troubled with, tiie negro problem." BRILLIANT VICTORY. Germans Have It Their Own Way in East Not West Africa. Berlin, Aug. 28.—A detachment of marines and sailors from the German cruiser Bnssard, surprised about 1000 nativo Insurgents, half of whom were armed with rifles, near Kowoml, German east Africa, August 25th.

THE WELCOME WHISTLE [Special to The Dally News] Phoenix, Aug. 28-The sound of the whistle from the Brooklyn mine today waa sweet music to the residents of this city generally, as It betokened the coming activity at the mines of the Dominion Copper company. It was the first time the whistle has blown since May 23 last. T. W. Drummond, the local manager of tho company has put on several men today at the Brooklyn and Stemwlnder, and it ls the expectation that the force will be gradually increased from now on, and at the Rawhide as well, so that when tho company gets ready to make Its series of test shipments to the smelter. It will be in a position to do so. An extensive system of development for all the company's properties ls being mapped out. FRENCH SUGAR MARKET Paris, Aug. 28—There was another collapse in tho sugar market today owing to the sudden death, under circumstances Indicating suicide of Ernest CronJer, chairman of the board of directors of the Bay Sugar refinery, the most Important concern In the trade.

Perhaps the Japanese would have a different idea at such a time of what their terms should he. The Germans have recently suspended martial law in German southwest Africa. For all that fresh troops are being sent to tlie seat of war and an- oi her war vessel has also been despatched, not a single Herrero chief lias surrendered or been captured or killed. The tribes are practically undisciplined and are badly armed. The trouble has been going on for over a year and as yet the Germans have proved themselves completely unable to tackle a slmiple military problem of this nature, it is just possible that Germany, like Russia, is greatly overrated as a military power. THE DAILY NEWS Put-llf-hcd at Nelaon every morning Except Monday, by F. J. DEANE ARE SUPPORTING RUSSIA The citizens of the United States are taking the Chinese boycott very seriously Indeed and the press is giving much space to tlie situation. It was originally explained that ithe harsh enforcement of trtie Chinese exclusion law caused the present movement dn China, bitt. -uhe, San Francisco Argonaut sweeps away this asserton and declares1 that the real cause has been -the "inauguration of our present unforunate territorial and commercial policy in Asiatic waters," and, odds t'he Argonaut, a corollary ito this policy has been "pur encouragement of Japan in her .war..with Russia." When the Phillp- ■plnes were purchased the Chinese were excluded, and aided by Wu Ting Fang, the ex-Chlneae minister at Washington, and the Japanese the boycott movement was launched. In a lengthy ar- itlcle the Argonaut goes on to show that the American people do not yet realize -what an unforunate scries of diplomatic ■blunders.have been made ln -the Onlent by Yankee officials and ministers and adds that the American press ls only Just beginning to realize the true situa tion. The San Francisco paper concludes: "This Chinese boycott, one result of the fatal Philippine purchase, is the flrst of these home-coming curses. It entails 'the inevitable mutilation and probable repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Law. "That action arrays the employing classes and the laboring classes of the United States in a hostility so bitter as previously 'to be unknown dn our favored land. And now what comes after that?" The American papers seem to have amMved at the conclusion that Japan should no longer be encouraged In her war with Russia, and perhaps It Is for 'that reason that the American Assocat- ed Press has begun to give Us dally despatches from Portsmouth such a decidedly anti-Japanese coloring. This has become so marked that <it Is almost impossible to avoid the conclusion that bhe reports sent out for some reason, strongy favor the Russian view. In his despatch to the London Times from Portsmouth a few days ago, Dr. Morrison felt compelled to authoritatively deny some ten statements made previously by the Associated Press correspondent. Readers of the Associated Press report of the proceedings at Portsmouth will do well to bear tin milnd thnt the statements therein contained aro to be -received with a good deal of caution at the present time. EDITORIAL NOTES. A Russian Journal statues that the Japanese terms would only be accepted The tariff and railway commissioners will be in this province shortly and the local board of trade wholesalers' association and others who desire to lay matters before either commission should make preparations at once so as to ensure an effective presentation of any existing grievances. Such an oppor- I tunity as will shortly present itself of i impress ing both commissions with -the views of the community on several important matters should not be missed. So far no joint action has been arranged and there is a danger tihat in the bustle and excitement of the fall fair, the work for the commissions may be, for a time forgotten.
