Mitchell Comments Strongly on Attitude of Operators DtchntltBor i Strike Hit Ben Stmt) off for a Di*- but b Regtrded at Ccr- uloly Coalig Very So-n Scranton, May 3.—Today's sessions ot the .miners' district convention were unprofitable except In so far as they revealed that the sentiment ot practically all of the six hundred delegates in attendance la for a strike. Tonight It Is believed that nothing short ot a miracle can prevent a strike from being declared either tomorrow or on Sunday. At the conclusion ot the afternoon session president Mitchell made a statement, In the course ot which he used the word "strike" for the Hrst Ume since the present negotiations began. "There to not much to say at this time," he said; "as Indicated at the opening of the afternoon session, the sentiment seems strong against accepting the conditions' and restricted arbitration scheme proposed by the operators, or renewing the award of the anthracite strike commission for three years, The strike feeling has been intensified by the unfortunate and unjustifiable action of the state constabulary at Mount Carmsl, as well; as their conduct in other regions. It cannot, of course, be stated positively what the vote will be; that will not be known until tomorrow or Sunday." At the afternoon session the committee made Its first report, whloh was adopted, aod then Mr. Mitchell made a brief speech, briefly reviewing the negotiations. He said the committee had perhaps gone even further than it should have, In endeavoring to bring about a peaceful settlement of the existing dlfd- culties. He told of the proposals made by both sides and then said: "We have offered to arbitrate all the demands we made upon them. In other words, we ■save offered to arbitrate the differences between us, either through the board of conciliation, with Judge Gray as chairman, or through the anthracite commission. We have made, the reservation. However, that It must be a full commission, not a part of It. "That, gentlemen, la the status of affairs at this time and' I am sure I am speaking the sentiment of every man -when I say that I regret that we have not been able to make a report that ■would be satisfactory to you. We regret that we have not been able to make a tentative agreement that would secure for you better wages and better conditions of employment" A motion to adjourn was then made and discussed at some length. A large number of delegates were opposed tc adjourning and ln expressing their objection they gave an inBlght Into their feelings as regards a strike. A delegate later In the afternoon moved tbat the suspension be turned Into a strike, but was not seconded. At 6 o'clock an adjournment was taken until tomorrow, and aa far as could be learned the discussion was general.

HELP FOR SAN FRANCISCO GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGED Washington, May 3.—A special message was sent to congress today by president Roosevelt in whtch he explained the course of the government regarding the offer of contributions to the San Francisco flre and earthquake sufferers from foreign countries. The president saya that where the contributions were made to the United States government he did not feel warranted in accepting them, but where they were made to tbe citizens' relief committee of San Francisco, no official action could be taken in regard to them. The message indicates that the governments of the entire civilized, world promptly responded In messages of sympathy and many of them with contributions and many offers of contributions. The message is ln part as follows: "Immediately atter the disaster at San. Francisco, many offers of assistance ln the shape of contributions wero tendered by foreign and civic corporations, governments and municipalities. The Canadian government, with Its Instant generosity, as a proof ot the close and friendly ties which knit us together offered to pass a resolution appropriating 1100,000 for the relief of the sufferers by earthquake and flre.' "With a generosity equally marked and equally appreciated the republic of Mexico, our nearest neighbor to the south, voted to appropriate (30,000, and tbe republic of Guatemala voted to appropriate 110,000 for the purpose, the government of China offered to send at once money to be used for Chinese sufferers In San Francisco; the Japanese government Immediately offered to send across the ocean one of their 'beautifully equipped hospital ships to be used ln any way for the sufferers and also offered 200,000 yen to the relief committee ln addition to more than 100,000 yen sent by Japanese subjects. The government of Martinique voted 1000 francs, the municipality of Edmonton, Canada, 3100. Many municipalities, corporations in England, Germany, France, Japan, China, and other countries immediately proffered aid. * 'Where these offers of aid were made to the private relief committees, organized to deal with the distress in San Francisco, I have, of course, no ofnclal action to take concerning them. Where they were tendered to me in my official capacity I do not feel warranted ln accepting them, but I am certain I give utterance to the feeling of all our countrymen when I express my lively appreciation ot the warm-hearted generosity and eagerness to help us ln the time of our affliction, Bhown by these governments, municipalities, corporations and Individuals mentioned above. We are deeply grateful to them and we are deeply grateful for the way In which they showed the spirit of brotherhood among the nations." The president then gives a list ot those who sent most kind and welcome messages of sympathy and concludes; "Appropriate expressions of gratitude to these friends have been returned hy the stats department or by myself, but It seems to me that the real depth ot grateful feeling awakened in our people by all these evidences of genuine sympathy and friendship should be expressed also by formal action of the supreme legislative power ot the nation. I recommend the passage by the congress ot an appropriate resolution to that effect." ATHLETES CONGRATULATED. Americans Will Now Visit England to Try Conclusions.

ADMINISTERS A REBUKE SHAUGHNESSY CALLS DOWN BRITISH STATESMEN SAYS THEY SHOULD KEEP IN TOUCH WITH EMPIRE Montreal, May 2-A special cable to the Star from London says that on tlie principle that a half loaf is better than no brea^, sir Thomas Shaughnessy, president of the Canadian Pacific railway company, welcomed the announcement of the colonial secretary made at the Canada club last night, that tlie Canadian PacUlc Empress subsidy from tbe British treasury will toe continued for two years. Sir 'inomas in lus speech, which was too late to be re- pot-ted, created some stir by the outspoken way In which, in the presence of the colonial secretary, he commented on tbo neglect of British ministers and prominent omcials to visit and 'become acquainted with the actual conditions of the empire they were charged to govern, referring especially to the permanent head of tne Canadian department of the colonial oiilce, who was present. Sir Thomas SnttUglinossy expressed astonishment that he had never been In Canada, and said that It "should be incumbent upon a man holding such a position to spend at least three monttiB in Canada every year." .(General cheers). And that "it was recently stated in the Canadian senate that no British minister had ever visited Canada." Theae were conditions requiring attention. Sir Thomas proceded as follows: "A few years ugo when trade question-- were discussed betwen Canada and the United States, we were treated with something in the nature of contempt. Are we going to permit the Rockefellers, Carnegles, Hills and other men who lniluence tne United States, to force upon Canada trade relations that may lead to most complicated results in future? Are we to sit supinely by and let them determine what shall be Canada's future career I do not know by what means we can prevent them from carrying out their objects, but whether by free trade or fair trade, or a combination of free trade and fair trado, we must attempt tu do it." Lord Struthcona in his speech was equally frank. As regards tlie Canadian Atlantic Bton-mers he said he waa not satis- fled and would not be sullalled until the passage from land to land was mad*- uy Canadian steamers inside of four days.

WITTE MAY NOTJRETIRE Czar Nicholas Apparently Still Vacillating as to His Course No Official Notifi ation Yet Published of the Reslgaatlon-Slate for New Ministry is Being Prepared St. Petersburg, May 3-Much myaUilcn* ■yon has ben aroused by tho fact tbat tna csar haa not ytt, in definite words, adopted count "VVltte's resignaUon as premier. It seems that Witte received a letter from the czar thanking him for his .zealous ana able services In tho past and Wlttee accepted tills In connection with the pror- fered resignaUon. and thc report of Al. Goremykln's appointment to the promier- •Wm as being tqulvalent to dismissal. Tho nonappearance of the rescript fte- ceptfng WItte's resignation is further cnum- for comment, and the theory is advanced that tho czar is still hesitating in view oc the general expression of opinion in regard to M. Goremykln, to discard the oid premier. At tho same time It is known po'sl- tuvely that Interior minister Duknovo'-i resignation has been tendered. The immediate organl*sation of the new cabinet Is now anticipated. AH the ministers aire understood to have placed then- resignations In the hands of the czar. Besides M. Goremykln as premier, the sliLtu is said to Include M. Stolypfn, the governor of Saratoff, for minister of the interior; M. Kokovsoff, as minister of Unanc ; prince GaJittln, professor of physics at th" academy of science, as minister Of ways and communications; M. von KHUfman, <*■ member of the council of tho empire, as minister of education; prince Sherinsky Shakmatoff, as procurator of tlie hoiy synod^and M. Stlthegloveroff, a« minister or justice. AU are bureaucrats, but rather colorless. The future poVlcy of the government Is s«» carefully guarded that the papers are nonplussed as to whether count WItte's downfall means a reversal of the latter'*- policy or the possibility of reaching a common ground In parliament. Tho majority of tii" papers attribute the fall of the oibinet to the bad reception of the draft of the fundamental laws. The retirement of the ministry has also Involved the withdrawal of the latter, which Is believed to be a. hopeful sign, St Petersburg. May 4 — 3:30 a,m.—The Novoe Vremya which under the new regime resumes Its old relations with the government, prints this morning what purports to be an authoritative statement of tnu Goremykln ministry, coupled with an intimation that the official announcement may not be given out before the convocation of the national -parliament. The ministry, howover, which contains several unexpected names, ts likely to tlnd lar less favor with the liberal majority in the popular branch of parliament than the Wltte cabinet. The object of postponing the announcement of the new ministry is nard to fathom. A remarkable feature of tho slate is the selection of count Ignaticlf as .procurator instead of, as anticipated, M. siiinnsky Sliakcaftoff, and M. Stishinsky, au ntvii reactionary and notorious aide of the late minister of the Interior Plehve, as in.ulster of agriculture. These two names alone- are enough to put the new ministry under eternal ban with the liberals.

The bill that bas been accepted by thu British houae of commons, by the •emphatic vote of 416 to 66, to exempt lal or unions from suits for damages, ca.ua •st! by strikes, has occasioned a great deal of comment, and many of the press utterances are openly hostile to the government for abandoning the ministerial measure and adopting the one proposed by the representatives of the labor organizations. The ministerial measure did not go to anything like the same length as that proposed by Mr. Hudson, a representative of railway brotherhoods, although in practise It would have exempted the trades unions from damages upon a plea of non-responsibility being entered. Feeling over tbe bill has been aroused to such a pitch that some papers are urging the bouse of lords to throw tt out. To this proposal, the Outlook, although'] lt does not approve of the bill ln ita present form, says, "If tho bouse of lords commits itself to a struggle with the people upon a direct labor issue, lt Will ruin Its power to Intervene with ef fect upon subsequent imperial and educational questions, and it may Imperil Ita existence." The'strongest defense of the bill, outside of the labor organs, is put up by Frederic Harrison, who, writing In the Postlvisit Review, says: "There are two grounds on which 1 Justify what, on the face of it, is a somewhat strong demand. First, an exceptional law is required to meet the exceptional and peculiar character of trade unions. They are not corporations; they are not organized trading societies stall. They are loose and casual benefit clubs, worked, not by business experts for profit, but by untutored day laborers for mutual protection. It ls unjust to apply to them the complicated rules of agency which are fair tn the liabilities Incurred by a railway company or an iron corporation. 'Common sense' Is sometimes uncommon injustice. 'Equal justice' may become gross oppression. "The aecond ground for exemption Is that these quite exceptional clubs of workmen are adjudicated by tribunals which are never really Impartial and are often bitterly prejudiced against them. With very rare exceptions lawyers are, as a class, committed to defend the lights of property, to protect the Interests of trade and capital generally. It is no business of the law to raise wages; lt is often the business of the law to Interpose that dividends may not be reduced.. Lawyers are hardly ever called In to secure any benflt or Improvement of condition to laborers as a class. . .. Owing to the complexity of the law, the Ingenuity of lawyers, and the more or leas unconscious prejudice natural to Judges and juries we do not see how the law can be amended, except by plainly exempting trade unions from actions at law, until they are fully made real corporations, with all tbe rights and qualities of corporations,".

Whilst public opinion undoubtedly favored some modification of the law regulating the responsibility of trades unions, lt did not favor placing them above the law, snd the passsge of this bill may have a reactionary effect and lead to a demand for legislation In the Interests of organised capital that will defeat the alms of the trades unionists. To exempt the trades union from all responsibility for damages sustained by reason of the action of a member or members of such trade union does appear to be going altogether too far. Time alone will prove whether or not tbls Is the case. If the trade unions show the proper appreciation of the confidence thus Imposed In them, it may be that the new law will work no hardship, but It Is certainly incumbent upon them to exercise the utmost constraint over their members In times of Industrial strife. Any disposition to take undue advantage of thla legislation will surely result In Its repeal, or drastic amendment, and the cause of trades unionism would sustain a setback of a very serious nature. A weapon that may prove very dangerous to organised labor has been placed tn the hands of trades unionists and It la up to the leaders to see that it Is handled with the utmost delicacy. EDITOR fah NOTES. Summing.up her conclusions on ths effects of woman suffrage ln New Zealand, a writer. In. the Empire Review says: "Political women, like the members of the various leagues and societies, certainly spend some considerable' share of their time In public work. But even with them lt is not nearly so absorbing and so destructive of home lite as the common round of social gaieties. And most of these amateur politicians are mature women of experience, and their children are long past the age when they require all ot a mother's leisure. They are the exception rather than the average women, and are gifted with a surplus energy. Politics is regarded by many of them as a more effectual means of philanthropy than charity haa yet proved. So far the franchise bas not brought about any revolution. It has Increased their Interest tn politics, and certainly promoted the introduction of humanitarian legislation Into the house. It haE not affected homellfe perceptibly, and lt has not altered the character of women. Many prophecies ot evil have proved false and many hopes have been disappointed. Politics have not been raised to a higher standard. But the people are more effectually represented than they had ever been before. Women; without ohataglnf their domestic character, have become cltizena equally with men, and life already has a larger fyrMrnta 20,000 Club Concert May 7th jiiiniBiiiiiiiniinniininnininininiinfnnifnntntHinn^ NEW STORE AND NEW 8T00K A Fin,» Programme Far Concert May 7th Dry Goods Notions Millinery BAftGAIN DAY^FRIBAY We wilt sell on Friday next, 100 Ladles' White Lawn and Muslin Blouses, Regular prices 11.00, 11.25 11.60, at 7Bc each. nne Scotch Gingham and Wash Zephera, regular 15c lino at 10c yd.

But still In New Zealand, as elsewhere, lt Is only the rarer exceptional women who devote themselves to politics. The greater out standing result of the enfranchisement has been the strengthening of the popular party." The publication of a dally newspaper in Nelson that Is read upon the day of publication by thousands of people throughout the Kootenay and Boundary districts ought to prove of some considerable beneflt to the business men of Nelson. Is that beneflt commensurate to the cost of producing a daily paper that people resident in the surrounding districts will subscribe for and read? This Is a question that Bhould receive some earnest and immediate attention on the part of those who claim that NelBon is rightfully the distributing point for southern British Columbia and the chief industrial and commercial centre of the Interior. Tbe Dally News has proved that a daily paper can be published in Nelson that will find ita way into the homes of the great bulk of the population of southern British Columbia, a newspaper, that ln effect Is "Uie dally" for the entire Kootenay and Boundary districts. To prove this has cost a lot of money and to continue to hold the field -means permanently heavy operating expenses. Now the point ls as to whether or not it Is worth while continuing to circulate such a paper from Nelson, and that Is a point that must be decided by the commercial interests of the city. The Dally News Is delivering the goods so far as news service and circulation are concerned, but it ts not receiving in return support adequate to meet operating expenses. This condition of affairs indicates that Nelson has not yet arrived at tbe daily paper stage ln its growth and, consequently, that the publication of a dally paper Is an unfair tax upon the community, serving rather to hinder than to promote prosperity.

North Side of Arm. .The flrat forest flre ot the season in the neighborhood of Nelson was visible from tbe city.all day yesterday and all evening. The flre began some distance .from the north shore of the arm near the Lakeside, residence of James Johnstone. From there lt burned slowly up the mountain ln a deep draw, but apparently spreading far to either side. in reply to a telephone inquiry late last evening Ur. Johnstone said that the lire had undoubtedly begun on or very close to his premises, but could not say from what cause, except, that It waa not' due to clearing operations. He added that the flre had been fought all day, and that although lt was spreading northward up the mountain side, there was no danger then apprehended to any farm property. The flre, which commenced about 11 o'clock, attracted a great deal of attention ln the elty and aa tbe day passed away and the dense clouds ot smoke rolled up the mountain side marking the destruction of the treeB and shrubbery which cover the hillside the local comment was tar from complimentary concerning the originator of the lire. It waa not the destruction of timber nor even the possible danger to nearby fruit ranches that made people talk, but the result of the flre from a scenic and residential stand point. Some years ago the whole mountain side was cleared ot every green thing by lire and people who lived here then recalled the look ot the bare hill and the Intense heat caused ihere by the bare rock reflecting ths sun's rays, mlrror-llke, upon the city. No doubt the flre will result ln making a Hot on the scenery, even If lt does no more serious damage. The provincial police have taken the matter up and an Investigation will be held when it will be - ascertained who waa responsible for letting the flre get beyond control. Provld.- lng the matter can be brought within the .terms ot the act regulating bush' fires, . Mme one ia liable to be punished tor yesterdey'a blase. '•*-*JCK-RAKBR8" * President's Expressive Phrase Has Cain- Much Comment. {President Roosevelt baa succeeded, to Judffe from the newspaper editorial*, in fastening upon the magaalne expos- em of corruption the expressive name ot "muck-rakers.'' That la w|i»t they are being styled all over the country. One Chicago paper haa received so *• many Inquiring letters from readers bewildered by the phrase that it finds it necessary to explain to the people ot the western metropolis who*John Bun-, •ran waa, what book he wrote, Ad all about the "man with the muck-rake. Another Chicago papsr BUggesta "a muck-rate party" In 1908 with the proprietor ot McClure's Magasine as the standard bearer; while Mr. Hearst's papers seem to take the president's speech as something almost personal, and reply In,long double-column editorials In several styles of large true, reminding him that "where there Is a I muck-rake tbere Is muck," and asking htm which he praters. The president made It clear ln hla speech that he balled as a benefactor every expoaer ot corruption who Is "absolutely truthful," but believed that "even la the case of crime, If tt le attacked In sensational, lurid, and untruthful fashion, the attack ' any do more damage to the public mind than the crime Itself." Thus the hearer Ib left to Infer which, "muck-rakers" the ■""fif™* would hall as benefactors and whloh ones-he would condemn. It seems to be the general opinion, however, that he must have Bomebody In mind or he would not have considered such a speech necessary. » Most papers agree with hla almost axiomatic proposition that truthful exposure of wrong Is commendable and untruthful exposure la harmful. The conscienceless and notoriety-seeking "muck- raker" la " a stumbling block In the way ot progress toward real reform," declares the Milwaukee Wisconsin, aud so think many other papers. "People are sick of the muck-rate," and " a healthy reaction has begun," believes the Philadelphia Press; and the Washington Star thinks the president's speech was made necessary by the preposterous claims of acme of the "muckrrakers" that they were raking with presidential sympathy and support. The New York Times, however, recalls that some of these much-maligned rakers "have been builders ot reputations at least as much as they have been destroyers of them," and "evil hag been attacked with a constant care to recognise virtue wherever It was to be found," so "lt is very far trom true that this work has all been destructive, all heen a calling of attention to filth and wickedness." And the Indianapolis. News defends them thus: Ht any freely be granted that thero have been excesses In certain publications of a baser sort But the general propriety and correctness ot the exposures of business irregularity and political rascality are abundantly proved: (1) by the fact that many men have been convicted by the courts of the evils and crimes charged; (2) by the fact that the law-making bodies ot the country are seeking, by new laws, to prevent the recurrence of the grave scandals of', the last few years; and (3) by the fact that while, If not true, the publications: In newspapers and magailnes have been grossly libelous, the men of vast wealth and political power that have been the subjects of the exposures have not brought suits against the publishers."

As a result of swallowing a half penny fimout a month ago, Beresford Drake, a little boy of eight, died In the Bristol infirmary, i | Rotherham borough council declined by 20'votes to 9 to reinstate Miss Turner, the pupil teacher who refused to take on her engagement ring.

To get rid of the plague of mts whicn still continues at the Eton Union workhouse, the wife of a bishop has suggested that the master should procure a mongoose, an animal which had effectually cleared the bishop's palace of a similar plague.

Mr. Balfour has been indulging In a "rest cure," at his ■ residence in Carlton Gardens, shut away froij\ everyone,* with the exception of his doctor, nurse and masseur for three long weeks. He has doubtless Indulged In philosophical reveries which will mean the publication of a new volume In the not far off future. A fashionable novel by Miss Elisabeth Robins gives a graphic description of the treatment during a rest cure. I do not mention the name of the book, for while lt deals with medical themes, it Is yet one ot those volumes not calculated to Improve the world for which lt Is written/. Every woman in London who has any pretentions to fashionable oeplrtalons is flocking to the Health, Beauty and Toilet exhibition, at tho Grafton gallcrlrs. Which was opened 'by lady Colin Campbell. As far as the "health" portion of the exht- ibitlon is concerned lt Is Intensely inter* estlng. The nursery department Is W©11 worth going to see. Bo-by carriages built with a view to lessening the Jar for the ttny occupants; baths of every site and shape, which prevent fatigue for mother or nurse in "tubbing'' baby; patent foods; scientific clothing; the dressing and undressing of infants, and an endless array of "sdentific corsets" come under this hiod, But tho toilet exhibition means, one Is Inclined to believe, the "giving aiway" of many and diverse secrets of te- mlnlne beauty, to the sex to whom "mystery" Is the chief lure. One rather marvels as to how fashionable women manage to cultivate their minds when they devote so much time and thought to the care of their precious bodies. The expenditure on toilet accessories must be enormous, for all these Items cost double what their hulk and quality would warrant. Massuge, manicure and bath powders to soften the water evidently play an Important part in the list. of expenses. Deportment experts are (frying out for straight backed chairs ln place of tho comfortable upholstered arm chairs of the modern drawing rooms and are looking askance at the luxurious fittings ot motor cars. In Chelsea, that historical quarter ot London, ls to be found a school of "Dames and Dams-fa," where 'fifty pupils call ■themselves students of the "simple life.'' All classes are represented in this curious educational establishment where they learn everything bearing upon the art of simple living—washing, Ironing and cooking, languages, elocution and Shakespearean reading. Talking of Shakespearean reading, one realises how decided Is the revival ol the Shakespearean cult In London when. one learns that scores of clubs and organ* liations are to hold "Shakespeare birthday" celebrations on the 23rd of May, where the songs, the poems and the Plays of the "Great Master" are to form the Items on the bills of fare provided. Miss Ellen Terry has received many invitations-to be the guest of honor at these festivities , but so far It Is not announced which has been the fortunate organization to Bccure her presence. The queen has presented this popular (actress with a ■beautiful Jeweled pendant as a Jubilee gitt and-the newspapers are reviving thc memory of past successes.

So It -will be now. Men will listen, curiously to Mr. Carnegie; gaping crowds will stare at the man of millions; Borne university authorities, more anxious apparently to honor money- than real achievement, will confer their honorary degree; and then public opinion will -remember the Pittsburg miners and their miserable lives; the abuse of a late revered sovereign hy thts representative of the most flagrant Americanism; and the fact of his clew self-advertising ln library construction coupled with the apparent absence of all heart and sentiment In his public utterances or public giving." OALLIHER TO THE RESCUE Watching Special Interests of Kootenay in Lord's Day Legislation ' W. A. Galllher, M.P. for Kootenay, has replied to the communiatlons addressed to him. by the Nelson hoard of trade' and the Kootenay Fruit Growers' Association, on the subject of modifications of the proposed Lord's day observance legislation, showing that he Is alive to the special requirements of the Industries of Urltlsh Columbia, and especially of his own constituency. The following telegram was received from Mr. Galllher yesterday by P.

Castell Hopkins ln Comments on Current Affairs, In the Canadian Graphic, says: "Curiosity will crowd the luncheon room of the Canadian club and any place or function which he attends; upon a principle very similar to that which once made Mr. Pierpont Morgan a centre of observation ln Toronto, almost equal In attractiveness to the archbishop of Canterbury himself..

At the present rate of increase the loss occasioned by the closing down of the service in January and February of the present year will be made up betore the end of August As the expenses of operation were reduced during the period of Idleness, it Is reasonable to expect thut the city's loss on the operation of the system tor 1906 wilt be considerably less thiin It was during 1905, Minard's Linimfti\t it uied by Miyilelup.
