I^Sfaltti 16 Pages The Prince Rupert DAILY EDITION VOL. I, NO. 102 Prince Rupert, B.C., Saturday, September 3. 1910. Price. Five Cents OPENING OF NEW THEATRE phenix to open with matinee monday afternoon First Fire Proof Building in the City- Structure is Complete and Modern Throughout—Will Show the Best Films in the World The Phenix theatre opens on Monday afternoon at two o'clock with a special matinee for the children. The opening of this amusement house will be a interest out of the ordinary in so far that it was completely destroyed by fire just as it was nearing completion. The new structure has been rushed up in exactly one month and it is the first building in town which comes in the fire proof class. Arthur Heiney is the proprietor of the Phenix and in the building he has adopted and carried out all the most modern ideas for moving, picture theatres. He has provided everything for the comfort and conveniences of the public and he will conduct a strictly uptodate show, and one which everyone will be pleased to attend or send their children. The films will be supplied by the Laemmle film service, which is the best in the world. The Phenix theatre will be lighted by an electric plant which was specially constructed for the moving picture shows and it is a big improvement over the ordinary system. For finish the Phenix theatre is one of the nicest buildings in town. Everything shows signs of good workmanship and reflects credit upon the men who did the work and upon Mr. Heiney who employed the highest class of labor. A feature of the building is that everything used in its construction, from the foundation to the roof, including the furniture, was purchased in Prince Rupert and from Prince Rupert merchants. Among those who worked on the building are the Prince Rupert Sheet Metal Works who did the galvanized iron work, Ward Electric Co., put in the electric fixtures, and Ward Bros., did the sign painting and are now preparing the first electric sign in the city. All through Mr. Heiney has displayed a modern spirit and there is no doubt that he will receive a large portion of the public's patronage. Tong War Again Waging San Francisco, Sep. 3—Another tong war has broken out and is now raging in Chinatown, and a number on both sides have been injured. Hop Sing, a Tong man, was shot and killed in front of a party of tourists last night. Chartered Port Simspso The steamer Port Simpson is to work under charter for Messrs. Foley, Welch and Stewart this fall. Asked by the "Optimist" this morning whether the steamer was already chartered by the contractors, Mr. Smith said he understood she was, but whether she was in active work for the firni yet or temporarily laid up he was not sure. ANOTHER BREAK Yesterday the Optimist machinery went on strike and the daily paper had to be temporarily suspended. The office was be- seiged with anxious enquires for the popular paper and as a recompense we. are today putting i out a double paper. LABOR COMING IN Hundred Men to Work on Railway By Every Grand Trunk Steamer The stringency in the labor market is being somewhat relieved, according to Vernor W. Smith, of Foley, Welch and Stewart. One hundred men dame up from the coast on the Prince Rupert for work on the railway and one hundred are to be brought up by each boat for some, time to come if so many can be obtained. Even so small a number will acclerate the rate of construction. Mr. Mehan said this morning that the steel had reached Mile 60 but there wa a large bridge to be put in at that point, and whether this bridge had been completed he has not yet heard. Flossie Russell Fined Florence Russell whose case was remanded Thursday appeared yesterday again before Magistrate Carss charged with having kept a certain class of resort in this city. The Magistrate fined her $15 and a two-spot for costs. Flossie produced the required amount with alacrity and vanished as speedily from the precincts of the police station. MAY BE SERIOUS MATTER, CHRIS SECOND CHARGE WITHIN A FEW DAYS OF SELLING LIQUOR Chris. Christiansen Warned Sternly By Magistrate Carss on Last Appearance Will Come Up For Trial With Agnes Holm on Tuesday Chris Christiansen will make another appearance lefore the bar of the police court on Tuesday morning. He was charge this, morning along with Agnes Holm with having sold intoxicating liquor in the Fulton hotel last night. A further charge was preferred against him of having kept a common gaming house in the same place. The witnesses in support of the charge appeared in court this morning and were ordered to present themselves in court on Tuesday morning when the case will be investigated. It will be remembered that Chris. Christiansen answered to a similar charge only a few days ago, but the evidence was insufficient to convict him. Magistrate Carss in dismissing the case then warned the accused in the strongest possible terms that in the event of his appearing again before the bar of the police court on a like charge it would be a serious matter for him. NO AUTOMATIC GUNS Attorney General Bowser Outlining Legislation for Next Session (Special to the Optimist) Victoria, Sep. 3.—Attorney General Bowser is engaged in outlining legislation for next session that will prohibit the use of automatic guns in the taking of game. SOUTH AFRICA ELECTIONS Botha's Majority Proves Much Smaller Than Was Expected (Special to the Optimist) Johannesburg, Sep. 3.—A reliable estimate of the returns of the election gives General Botha's majority as between fifteen and twenty. The vote in every case is much closer than was expected and that of Natal is still doubtful. Action Today at 4 p.m. there will be a conference of the business men of the city and the City Council. The purpose is to see if it is possible to make some amicable arrangement with the Grand Trunk Pacific to give them a nominal tax rate and in return have the i Company's local improvements gone on with immediately. The meeting was organized by several of the prominent business men. It is understood that Mr. Thos. Dunn will offer a suggestion which seems to meet with popular favor. BUILDING UP GREAT NATION SIR WILFRID CONCLUDES HIS TOUR OF THE WEST Returning Home Feeling That He Now Knows Canada—Proud That East and West Are Working To Build Up a Great Nation. (Special to the Optimist) Medicine Hat, Sep. 3.—The last great meeting of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's tour of the West was held here last night and was a tremendous ovation. Sir Wilfrid said he was now returning home feeling that he now knows Canada, and is prouder of being a Canadian and a British subject than ever before. He said that he finds both East and West working harmoniously together in the building up of one great nation, and this realization has made him supremely happy.

The vexed question of the G. T. P. assessment is exercising the minds of a number of prominent citizens and property owners in the city. A very strong opinion exists among many of themathat the city council should do everything possible to reduce the probability of friction, and to smooth the way towards a peaceful and mutually advantageous solution of the question. With this object in view a number of the leading citizens actively interested, met in P. R. Palmer's office yesterday afternoon and had an informal talk over the situation. A petition has been prepared and signed by a number of citizens for presentation to the city council requesting the council to expediate the settlement of the assessment deadlock and urging the advantages of a swift an amiable settlement. Leading citizens express the hope that the council will give early attention to this matter in the public and business interests of the city. Noted Stevedore Dead Vancouver, Sep. 8.—(Special)—Captain Amesbury, of the noted stevedoring firm, Is dead. OPPOSE APPLICATION Canadian Northern to Use Canadian Pacific Lands (Special to the Optimist) Vancouver, Sep. 3.—An application has been made here to the railway commission, for the right of the Canadian Northern railway, under the Dominion charter of the Edmonton & Yukon railway, to use Canadian Pacific lands from Lytton as far as Cisco. The application will be opposed by the Canadian Pacific. The application for thus using the Dominion charter is looked upon as imperilling the Canadian Northern's agreement with the provincial government. NO GENERAL STRIKE International Socialists Voted Favor of Arbitration (Special to the Optimist) Copehnagen, Sep. 3.—The international socialist congress, now concluding its sessions here, today voted in favor of arbitration rather than strikes, and on the question of a general strike declared it uncalled for and unwise and likely to lead to a general disagreement all round. CLOAK MAKERS' STRIKE ENDED HALF MILLION WORKERS INVOLVED IN STRUGGLE Seventy-five Thousand Idle For Nine Weeks, Many Having Been Evicted From Their Homes—Loss to Manufacturers Heavy. (Special to the Optimist) New York, Sep. 3.—The cloak makers' strike, which yesterday threatened to spread and involve hlaf million workers, was settled last night. The basis of the settlement has not yet been announced but there is general rejoicing over the conclusion and the fact that all of the strikers will resume work on Monday morning. No such strike as this has excited so much public sympathy, many of the women's societies and many society women individually having done everything possible in support of the contention of the strikers. Several wealthy women have been sued for damages by the manufacturers association, and it was hinted this morning that these suits would still go on. The losses of the manufacturers run into millions, and they attribute much of this loss to the action of scciety women. The telegraphers' strike compares with this only in the number of strikers and its duration. But in this case all the strikers were poor, with no strong, financially-equipped union behind them. During the time they have been idle many of them have been evicted from their homes, and the suffering among the strikers generally has been very great. FATAL HAVANA DUEL Editor of Satirical Weekly Called Out by Member of Council (Special to the Optimist) Havana, Sep. 3.—Juan Amer, editor of a satirical weekly newspaper called "Chanticler," was challenged by Jose Penni, member of the city council, on account of a scurrilous article attacking the latter. The two men met and the editor was shot dead. No member of the House of Commons can resign his seat. HEAVY FINE FOR SERIOUS FAULT SAM PEARCE MUST PAY $200 AND COSTS OR SERVE SIX MONTHS Gave Liquor to Emily Vann, a Metlakatla Indian Woman, Whom He Met on Wharf—Offence too Serious to Escape Punishment. Sam Pearce appeared yesterday before the bar of the Police Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge of having supplied intoxicating liquor to Emily Vann, a Metlakatla Indian woman, whom he had met on the wharf last night. The woman who confessed when put on oath, to having given at first a wrong name, stated that she had had supper with accused at the Exchange Grill, and had afterwards gone for a walk with him as far as his cabin. The rest of the woman's evidence was taken in camera. Further evidence was given by Sergeant Mehan who arrested Pearce and the woman in Pearce's cabin and found a whiskey bottle there. William Munson stated that he had actually seen the accused give liquor to the woman, and was sharply cross-examined by accused who conducted his own defence with some ability. The woman's own evidence was to the effect that Pearce had given her drink, and Magistrate Carss found the accused guilty. Chief Constable McCarvell suggested to the Magistrate that this was a case for the imposition of the maximum penalty as it was clear that the effect of the dealings with the Indians of men like the accused was demoralizing in the extreme to them. Magistrate Carss said that the offence was a very serious one, and that while he was not inclined to impose the maximum penalty in this case he would, nevertheless, fine the accused $200 and costs with the alternative of two months hard labor at Westminster. Pearce was asked if he were prepared to pay the fine, and said that he would but would need some time to obtain the money. Meanwhile he was detained. Vancouver Telephone Question Vancouver, Sep. 3.—(Special)—The city council last night laid over the telephone question for further consideration. This was after the threat that if the present telephone company did not put in modern automatic phones the application of a competing company would receive favorable consideration. Last night the sentiment was strong against a dual telephone system.

C. (Special to the Optimist) Seattle, Sept.l.—The Lyons building, eight stories in height which was rapidly approaching completion, was the scene of a dynamite outrage last night, the explosion doing sonsiderable damage to the construction work but only two people who were passing were injured. It was at first believed to have been an attempt to break into the Canadian Bank of Commerce, which adjoins the premises, but after a careful examination of the ruins this idea was scouted. The next conclusion, and probably the correct one, was that the outrage was the result of labor troubles among the mechanics. For four or five months the mechanics of other cities have been (.here trying to Bsart a strike for an increase of wages but lattery the agitation has been for an eight hour day.

Saturday, Sept. 3 THE ERROR OF SECRECY Public opinion has been exceedingly critical of the city council's attitude towards the Grand Trunk Pacific. This is evidently now realized by the council and that august body, or those members of it who handled the question, are putting up the rather lame defence that the G. T. P. had no proposition to make and that the council is powerless to change the assessment. These excuses are weak because the Company did not ask for an alteration of the assessment, and had the city council known public opinion it would not have been difficult to make a reasonable and business like proposition for settling the question of taxes. The G. T. P. gave their accent to the assessment. Whether it was for lack of time to appeal, or through neglect of their officials, or because the Company was satisfied are reasons which do not effect the case. The assessment stands, but when it went through without appeal it is safe to say that not a single member of the city council ever expected that the G. T. P. would pay 15 mills on a $7,000,000 assessment. The citizens did not expect it either and a protest from the Company has been expected for weeks. When it did come in the form of communications to the city officials it was treated as a private matter—the public were denied knowledge. The property owners and ratepayers were kept in ignorance of a question involving the collection of the largest item in this year's city finances. Why the council should keep knowledge of this important dispute from the public is a mystery indeed and the error of it is now apparent to everybody. Had the people been given an opportunity to discuss the points at issue the council would have been in a position to judge public sentiment and could have met the G. T. P. officials with the citizens behind them. We would have had an arbitration instead of a fight. Unfortunately the city council is imbued with the idea that they can conduct public business without the public or even publicity. Condensed Advertisements. ARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP ?

HAS ORDERED ANJNQUIRY INTO THE KILLING OF HALLER BY THE POLICE Attorney General Bowser to Have Full Investigation Made of the Conduct of Chief Constable Sampson Under the Circumstances. (Special to the Optimist) Victoria, Sep. 3.—Attorney General Bowser has ordered an investigation into the alleged negligence of Chief Constable Sampson in connection with the killing by the police of the demented murderer Haller while he was resisting arrest. Haller had killed a young man maned Palmer, son of the hotel proprietor at Krag, and had said he would come back and kill another man. He did come back and resisting arrest he was shot. An inquest was held on the body of the man Haller and the jury, in returning its verdict, found the police were in no way to blame under the circumstances.

Latest Style of Hand Shake New York,—The stoop and the high-hand shake of greeting and farewell that has been stamped as the proper caper in society for the last five seasons must go. For the future, if you would conform to Newport, Narragansett and Tuxedo deportment, you will not lean nonchalantly forward and lift your hand at an altitude that suggests that you intend to nab the tiara out of your hostess' hair. You will stand up straight and jab your hand directly out from the waist line. And it is not to be lingering, lackadaisical handshake either, but a quick grip and a short shake. The new method has the stamp of approval of Newport. The waist line handshake is at the Casino, and up in that resort of fashion the high shake has in a few weeks become almost obsolete. The new, standup, low down, brisk method of greeting was started by Mrs. Blanche Oelriches. All the younger set are for it, through some of the dowagers and the old beaux effect to believe that it is awkward and another sign of the habit of modern times that treats with impatience the elaborate courtesy affected in past generations.

Referring to the Hull, England, telephones the report says that the municipal exchange has met with public approval, judging from the rapid extension of the undertaking. "The moderate tariffs," it proceeds, "also enable small tradesmen to have a service which previously was denied them, owing to the prohibitive rates of the National Telephone Company." The difference between a service operated for the public benefit and one for private profit is well illustrated by the above.

After a wild flight of several blocks, the horse and wagon plunged into the Hudson river. The doors of the wagon flew open and a casket containing a body floated down stream. The driver managed to save himself. The night watchman of a pier swam out in the tide and towed the casket ashore. The horse and wagon were finally lifted to a dock by a derrick.

(Special to the Optimist) Lethbridge, B. C, Sep. 1.—Sir Wilfrid Laurier met with splendid receptions both at McLeod and Fernie, and his speeches awakened a keen public interest. Speaking here he declared that Canada would never ask Great Gritain to change her free trade policy. It was for the Dominion to take her own stand upon all tariff questions and to decide them for the best interest of Canada irrespective of what might be thought best for other countries. In regard to reciprocity with the United States he spoke at some length, concluding with the statement that Canada had done her part and for any further move in this direction Washington must be looked to to take the initiative.

Rolsnd D. Craig. Pub. July 7. It has been affirmed (whether truthfully or not must remain an open question) that prior to the opening up of the Kimberley mines in South Africa a bushel measure would have held the world's supply of gems under reference which had been won. Since 1870 the defiency has been remarkably well made up, for during the 18 years between that date and 1889 some 46,000,000 of carats—approximately, for no estimate ol illicitly disposed of stones can be offered—were won in Kimberley and surrounding districts, having the statistical value of $280,000,000. A trifling effort in arithmetic will soon enable the enquirer to think of diamonds in tons. When we have become able to grasp this fact the question which naturally must come to the mind is "What becomes of them?" With all this amazing weight in diamonds our minds are not relieved by the fact that production is still going on at an increased rate. In Bechuanaland, or that part of it known as the Kalahart desert, are undeveloped resources. There are prospectors now in England who have for years past known of diamondifer- ous areas in and about the dead rivers Ob and Nosob. In the low, dry channels of these old time rivers much of promise exists, though the country they traverse has an evil reputation for drought. Both the Ob and Nosob in past ages must have been far nobler streams than any now existent in South Africa, possibly of a magnitude which would have enabled them to bear on their broad bosom vessels of exceedingly deep draught. In the event of their rich deposits being exploited, to what use, we wonder, would the plethora of diamonds be put. There must be a world of wealth in the cellars of the various banks as represented by even the surplusage. Diamonds cannot be said to possess a standard value such as gold has, nor is it to be thought that the huge proportion of the world's wealth represented by crown and family jewels will ever become intrinsically endangered* Perhaps it is this latter view of the question which keeps heart in those who traffic in these and other gems.—Chambers Journal. Crazy Woman At Large Wednesday a Japanese woman employed at Oceanic cannery went insane and threatened to commit suicide. She was locked in a room and two Japs were placed as watchmen over her.

Bridge Work on Section Delayed Progress a Little, but Work is Now Advanced—Superintendent Mehan Expects to be Ballasti ng Next Week- Satisfactory progress is being made with the G. T. P. track, and during the next week rapid advance of the steel may be expected. The section at present under construction is not an easy one | but the contractors are overcoming all obstacles and removing hindrences as | rapidly as possible. "We have experienced some little delay waiting for the contractors to get bridges ready," said Superintendent Mehan this morning. "But matters in this direction were pushed forward, and the steel is now being laid about Mile 65. "We expect to be ballasting within the next week or two, and then shall be requiring fully two hundred more men. During the last few days we have had more men then usual applying for work, and though labour suitable for our requirements is certainly scarce still I expect that we shall have men enough to make good speed with the ballasting." Io you like Fresh Eggs, look for those stamped with the red "C." They are gueranteed fresh. tf Canada during 1908 sent the United Kingdom 1,454,663 hundredweight of apples. In 1908, 13,337 new houses were built in London and its suburbs. Judge Young presided over the County Court yesterday afternoon when the case of Panvini vs. Christiansen and Brandt came up for hearing. Messrs. Carss and Bennett appeared for the plaintiff and L. W. Patmore for the defendants. The claim was for the balance due on a contract for excavation under the Royal block and other work done there in the construction of a concrete wall, also for damages. The work was unfinished and plaintiff averred that defendants had ordered him to stop it. For the defence it was put forward that plaintiff had never been told to stop the work. He quit work himself, and had been repeatedly asked to complete the job. Phillipio Lucio Panvini in the witness box stated that he was an experienced contractor for concrete and cement work having been in charge of work of this kind in connection with the Assouan Barrage on the Nile. He said he had done the excavation work required for the job, and in regard to the concrete wall had been shown by Mr. Christiansen a tender for an 18 inch wall at $1900 and he had undertaken to construct a 12 inch wall strong enough for the purpose at two thirds of the price. He began to work but found it necessary to go deeper than had been expected to reach bed rock for the wall's foundations in certain places along its length. He also found it necessary to make the wall an 18 inch one after all to carry the superstructure securely. The reason he had not completed the work when asked to do so was because the sum offered for the rest of the work was too small the prces of labor and material having risen. Witness was closely questioned on the matter of the gravel used for the ; concrete which he said hadbeen purchased i through Mr. Christiansen's own in- ; fluence, and was of inferior quality, requir.ng more cement, and causing a : collapse of a small portion of the wall. Witness found it difficult to explain to I counsel why he had bought inferior | gravel, owing to his unfamiliarity with j the English language, but eventually I got the court to understand that the j fact that Mr. Christiansen himself was a | party to the purchase had influenced him rather against his better judgment also the gravel was offered at a lower price. The beginning of the case was continued.

Price, Five Cents REPUBLICANISM IN PORTUGAL GOVERNMENT UNEASY IN REGARD TO ELECTIONS Republican Movement Spreading, Officers of Army and Navy Openly Espousing the Cause—Clash Certains if Polls Are Tampered With. (Special to the Optimist) Lisbon, Sep. 2.—The government is greatly alarmed at the recent spread of the republican movement throughout the country, and especially the adherence of the army and navy officers to the new cause. The most stringent precautions are being taken to maintain order but a clash is certain if the government attempts to tamper with free voting at the elections. If there is no interference at the polls the republican party is pretty sure to be returned with a large majority. VATICAN BACKS DOWN Will Not Insist on Spain Withdrawing Orders Bill THE FAMOUS FOOTNOTE Clause of Discipline Striken Out By Methodist Conference The specific restrictions in the Methodist Church discipline dealing with the moral conduct of its members have been swept away, and in their place has been substituted a general admonition as to good conduct, such as is consistent with a Christian life. The clause which has been made famous by so much discussion read as follows: "Note—The general rules are to be understood as forbidding neglect of duties of any kind, imprudent conduct, indulging in sinful tempers and words, the buying, selling or using of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, dancing, playing games of chance, encouraging lotteries, attending theatres, horse-races, circuses, dancing parties,.patronizing dancing schools, taking such other amusements as are obviously of a misleading or questional le moral tendency, and all acts of disobedience to the order and discipline of the church." (Special to the Optimist) Paris, Sep. 2.—A special to the Figaro quotes Senor Prieto, Spanish minister of foreign affairs, as saying that the recently received note from the Vatican which is to be considered by the Madrid cabinet on September 4th, does not insist upon the government's withdrawal of the religious orders bill. Winding Up Estate Thomas J. Stephens, assignee of the Stewart Mercantile Co., has gone to Vancouver after disposing of the general stock to Harry Smith & Co of the Big Store, and the building to the Portland Canal Lumber Co.

The lumber company and the contractor were paid in full, but the general creditors will suffer a fairly heavy loss.-Porftond Canal Miner. C. P. R. Office Comes Up Town On Monday the C. P. R.. Prince Rupert staff expect to be in occupancy of their new office premises in the block on Sixth street formerly occupied by the Royal bank, and next door to F. B. Deacon's office. The work of the C. P. R. General Freight and Passenger Traffic Agency will be carried on there with much greater convenience to the citizens, and visitors to Prince Rupert, and also to the members of the C. P.

Physicians from here have investigated the causes of the pestilence in Northern Spain and have declared the disease is not cholera and not necessarily infectious. Imperial Senate Proposal London, Aug. 31—Supporting Norton Griffith's advocacy of an imperial senate, the Daily Mail points out that the House of Lords is in the melting pot, and adds, "as British people are prone to compromise thereis danger that amid the dust of partisan politics they may miss the broad imperial road whereunto destiny points and towards which events are invincibly moving." Bishop to Visit Canada Glasgow, August 30.—Right Rev. Archibald Ian Campbell. Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway, has made arrangements to attend the bi-centenary of the Canadian Church at Halifax. NOW LEAVING THEIR FARMS GENERAL STRIKE IN SPAIN SPREADING ALL OVER Rural Laborers Flocking to the Cities, the Garrisons of Which Are Everywhere Being Strengthened To Handle Expected Uprising. (Special to the Optimist) Saragossa, Sep. 3.—The general strike is spreading as fast as the announcement of it can be disseminated, all news of it being kept out of the mails and the telegraphs by a strict censorship. Here everything is at a standstill. All the shops and factories are closed and the streets cars have stopped running. No newspaper are published and all the announcements of meetings and so forth are scrawled by hand. The reports coming in from the surrounding country are that even the farm laborers are leaving their places to flock to the cities. All the garrison towns are being strengthened and there is liable to be a clash between the military and the proletariat at any moment THE NAME OF PHENIX Mr. Heiney's Theatre Nearly Completed For the Second Time Mr. Heiney's new theatre on Second avenue has risen from its ashes, as it were, and hence he has given to it the name of the Phoenix. It is much superior in every way to the one that was burned down when nearly completed and, moreover, has s distinctive style that is an advertisement in itself. It is of the Egyptian order of archit ecture. Lest Busy Workers Forget In such'a strenuously hard working city as Prince Rupert it is perhaps necessary to remind the citizens that Monday September 5th, is Labor Day when busy workers may consider themselves entitled to a well earned respite from toil for the day. Quite a number of little outings are being planned for the week end, and if the weather clerk behaves well, there will be smiles all round. FIRST DEER OF THE SEASON TAKEN ON PORCHER ISLAND AND BROUGHT TO CITY Game Laws Not Altered As To Deer And More Are Expected In Town Today—Well Known Prince Rupert Citizens to Hunt This Season. Venison will be on the bill of fare tomorrow. It is in some cases today but as far as known only one deer has been brought in since the first and this was exhibited at the Prince Rupert fish market yesterday morning. It came from Porcher island and weighed one hundredand thirty pounds. There has been no change in the game regulations as to deer, and the open season for pheasants, blueand willow grouse, grouse, and quail will start on the 15th of September as originally set. This announcement is contained in a letter from the provincial government to Mr. C. E. Todd, chairman of the Vancouver Island Fish and Game club, which body requested the authorities to postpone the shooting for a fortnight, making all game legal prey from the 1st of October. It is understood that, after giving the matter careful consideration, the government came to the conclusion that the petition was received at too late a date. To take such a step, the administration argued according to unofficial report, would have resulted in confusion. Some would have gone out after game from the 15th and others would have held back to the new date. To prosecute the former because of their lack of knowledge, after short notice, would have scarcely been fair and it would have been equally unfair to those who knew and refrained to allow others to shoot with impunity. Under the circumstances therefore, it was thought advisable to allow the season to remain as first advertised. Although according to some pioneer hunting men of Prince Rupert, this city is not what it used to be in the world of sport with the rifle, still quite a number of prominent citizens and well known hunters are looking to their guns and getting ready to hike for the bush and get busy on the trail of tbe deer. . T. C. Birnie of the firm of Birnie and Machachlan, is going out with a party of guns the details of which he has not yet arranged. The probable destination of the party will be Pitt Island, and the south and east districts. "I find" said Mr. Birnie "that there is little good going out with a rifle after deer now to any district which a man can visit and return to Prince Rupert from in one day. There will be no sport worth mentioning in such a district. I visited one such place only recently, where formerly there were whole herds of deer, and saw not a single deer. George Tite, and J. G. Scott both well known hunters are contemplating an excursion or two this season. Mr. Scott is familiar with most of the promising hunting grounds on the coast, and particularly with Porcher island and Queen Charlotte island. Others who are likely to make hunting excursions of their own, or to be members of hunting parties this season are William Angle builder of the new Westenhaver block in process of erection, and C. C. Westenhaver himself a well known hunter. The opening of the hunting season has of course been marked by an increase of business in the ammunition and sporting goods sections of the hardware stores in the city, and even brisker business in this line is expected. FAVORS CONSCRIPTION Leading Authority on British Army Has Changed His Opinion (Special to the Optimist) London, Sep. 2.—Lord Esher, a leading authority on the British army and a consistent supporter of the volunteer system as opposed to conscription, has come out in favor of compulsory training. The lack of necessary recruits for the territorials has caused his change of opinion. Shocks Felt in England London, Sep. 3.—(Special)—Earthquake shocks were distinctly felt here shortly after midnight, and recorded on all instruments. Judgment of Solomon One of the most wonderful films is now being shown at the Empress theatre. It tells the familiar Bible story of the two women who quarrelled as tho the ownership of a boy baby, and depicts the palace and the gorgeous throne room of the great Jewish law giver, with his guards and councillors in the handsome attire of the age. The character of the All-Wise is well pourtrayed, and the act when the centurion snatches the infant and draws his blade is thrilling. ONE ROBBER WAS KILLED TWO OF HIS COMPANIONS IN HOLD UP ESCAPE Daring Attempt to Rob Colorado Express Train.—Engineer Is Shot And Wounded But Managed to Kill One of Three Robbers. (Special to the Optimist) Leadville, Sept. 3.—An attempt made this morning to hold up the express on the Colorado Midland ended in one robber being killed, Engineer Stewart being wounded in the leg and two other robbers put to flight. It is supposed the three robbers got on the train at the last junction. The first known of their presence was when Engineer Stewart found himself covered by a man on the tender. He quickly drew his own gun and shot the bandit dead The two other robbers, after riddling the door of the express car when the messenger refused to open it for them, and seeing the rest of the train men ready for the attack, took to the hills. A posse is now pursuing them with confidence of being able to come up with the two brigands. Henry Eighth As a Pageant London, Sep. 3.—(Special)—Shakespeare's drama. Henry VIII, was presented for the first time as a pageant last night and was a great success. Sir Beerbohm Tree was in the leading role. John Dobing Injured While working on the Black hotel on Thursday afternoon John Dobing, carpenter, fell through the joists. He was taken to his home on First avenue near McBride, badly bruised, and it will likely be several days before he is able to be at work again. Indian Woman Intoxicated 'Emily Vann the Indian woman from Metlakatla to whom Sam Pearce was found guilty of giving whisky last night, appeared this morning before Magistrate Carss to answer the charge of being drunk. It appears that she was not sufficiently intoxicated to cause any serious disturbance and the Magistrate dismissed her with a warning. REMOVAL OF COAL TARIFF LETHBRIDGE COAL OPERATORS WAIT UPON PREMIER Declared Reciprocity With United States Would Enable Them to Capture Montana and Idaho Trade. Tariff Hampering Output. • (Special to the Optimist) Lethbridge, Sep. 2.—Sir Wilfrid Laurier inspected the coal mines here yesterday morning and in the afternoon a delegation of colliery proprietors waited upon him and asked him to remove the tariff on coal. They declared this tariff hampered the output, and if reciprocity with the United States were arranged they could capture the coal markets of Montana and Idaho. The premier also received a delegation of the United Farmers of Alberta, who pressed for free trade. POLICEMEN SCARED Areoplane Sweeps Down and About Madison Square at Night (Special to the Optimist) New York, Sep. 2.—Policemen on the beats around Madison Square had the scare of their lives last night when a mysterious aeroplane awooped down into the square. It seemed as if about to alight but after coming to a stop soared again and sweeping around the Flat Iron building disappeared in the darkness without revealing its identity. Lacrosse Team For England Montreal, Aug. 31.—There is a plan on foot to send a Montreal lacrosse team to England next spring. It is not certain yet whether the N. L. U. champions will be sent or a combination, but President Findlay, of the Montreal team, is strongly supporting the plan. It is thought that the team could arrange enough games to pay for the trip.

Monday being labor day is a public holiday. Keep the date in mind and watch for the big adv., announcing the sale in Saturday's Optimist. Mr. Hart has just put every article in the store under the hammer. The Lot of the Man in Blue The question whether or not Sergeant Mehan of the Prince Rupert Police Force exceeded his duty in the matter of the amount of force used to effect the arrest of the woman Flossie Russell is not likely to be pursued to the extent of a police commissioner's investigation. Both Magistrate Carss and Chief McCarvell are satisfied that Sergeant Mehan had an extremely awkward situation to deal with in this particular case and exonerate him from all blame in the matter. It is just another evidence of the truth of Gilbert's world famous discovery that "when constabulary duty's to be done, a policeman's lot is not a happy one." Specials in Furniture The Brin Furniture Store has decided to make Saturday a special feature day in future. It will pay all to watch their advertisement for the Saturday specials. Beginning next Saturday they will put on kitchen furniture at a ridiculously low price. The following weeks other lines of furniture will be specialed. tm THE PRINCE RUPERT OPTIMIST Don't Forget We have the stock, and when you want to select a Diamond Ring, a Wedding Ring or Wedding present it is no trouble for you to find something that will suit you.

MacDONALD Nelson, B. C, Aug. 29.—It is understood that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has just avoided a ministerial crisis. The occasion was the regulations made by Hon. Frank Oliver for the settlement of lands in the railway belt of British Columbia, relating to the limited homesteads in timber cleared lands to 40 acres and pre-emptions to the same area on the ground that these are orchard lands. In Oliver's absence in the north, it is stated, these regulations were set aside by the premier owing to protests from this part of the country. Consequently Oliver, on his return, took exception at his regulations being overridden without his being consulted. This resulted in Oliver making a special trip to British Columbia to see Sir Wilfrid, and in circles well informed, a resignation seemed in order. The nature of the solution is not known, but events show that Oliver returned east apparently pacified. MOORE LIGHT The Light that Rivals the Sun. Local business men recommend it.

Grand Duke Nicholas Michaelaio- vitch of Russia, in an article just published in the Revue Historique in Paris, has at length furnished an authoritative view to the identity of the mysterious hermit, Fedor Kosmich, who died in 1864 in a monastery at Tomsk. According to popular report, which has found widespread belief both within the Russian Empire and beyond its borders, this hermit was no other than Emperor Alexander 1, who had survived his officially proclaimed death at Taganrog in 1825, and had retired from the world owing to the profound remorse which overtook him in his later years for his share in the responsibility for the shocking murder of his crazy father, Emperor Paul, in 1801. This belief was fostered by tJie fact that every member of the Imperial family who passed through Tomsk made a point of visiting the hermit treating him with profound veneration and regard, and since his death in 1846 his tomb in the monastery has also been the bourne of many an imperial pilgrimage. Moreover, his resemblance to the members of the Imperial family was so striking as to convince everybody that he was a member of the House of Romanoff. Grand Duke Nicholas now furnishes proof that the hermit at Tomsk was an illegitimate brother of Emperors Alexander 1 and Nicholas 1, the offspring of an intimacy between their father, Czar Paul, and the Polish Princess Czartoryska. A letter printed in The Revue on April 21, called attention to the absolutely conclusive evidence produced by Grand Duke Nicholas of Emperor Alexander's death at Taganrog, in 1825, quoting letters of his consort to his mother, in* which the Czarina described, day by day, how she had nursed him in his last illness, and how he had died in her arms.

VARIETIES OF SOCIALISM Emil Reich Describes Twenty-Five Different Kinds of Doctrine There are twenty-five kinds of Socialism, and their weakness is that their leaders do not study the past "which is the cause of the present," said Dr. Emil Reich the other day in one of his popular London lectures. Some of his epigrammatic utteiances are reported verbatim. "The soul of English history is inequality of chance. "You have built up a huge Empire on inequality, and now you cry for equality. The principle should be individualism: the principle that made England. "You don't excel in measures, but in men. It is infinitely more important to have men than measures. "A Frenchman can become a great personality, but not until after a time, and the greatest men in France are women. "If Socialism is introduced, personality goes out of the window. Personality is the foundation of everything, and cannot co-exist with Socialism. "Socialism constantly led to a larger number of bureaucrats. Still they would do it perhaps—the Welsh pipe was so enchanting. "Why are the Germans great musicians? Because they are the most unfortunate nation in Europe. The Thirty Years' War made them musicians. The English were too happy to have musicians. "Poverty and inequality of chance was the very life-principle of everything. There was a very considerable portion of truth in Lord Rosebery's assertion that genius needed poverty. "No Socialist organization had a foreign policy. That was its fatal point. Foreign policy was the best of all policy, and especially in England. Foreign policy was practical history. "He who thought that what he might call the pandemonium of peace would ever arrive was utterly mistaken. "The neglect of foreign policy was absolute and sure death. "Socialism foundered on personality, which it could never produce, and which demolished it; it ignored the past and it ignored foreign policy. "Let us have a free England, and not a free lunch. "England is a necessity, besides being in many ways an ideal." a W.

DREAD CHOLERA VISITS ITALY SOUTHERN PART OF COUNTRY NOW UNDER BAN Panic In Train Leads Twenty Thousand People to Flee.—Grave Danger Anticipated From Fleeing Population of Infected Districts. Bari, Italy, Aug. 30—The epidemic of cholera which has broken out in southern Italy is steadily showing an increase in the districts already affected, particularly in the town of Trani, where the number of deaths is already more than 30. The latest official report gave twenty deaths at Trani, and twelve more, with nineteen new cases, were reported today, showing the rapidity with which the disease is increasing there. The epidemic is of a virulent type and the death rate is high. Outside the Trani the largest reports are three cases and one death at An- dria, three deaths at Barletta, one case and one death at Margherita di Sa- vola, one case and no deaths at Cerig- nola, one death at Biscoglie and one case and one death at Bitonto. Even graver danger is anticipated from the fleeing population of the infected districts, who may bear the germs of the disease to other places. Trani seems almost deserted as a result of the panic, 20,000 persons, fully one half of the population, having fled from the town, Fully as many have fled from the island town of Barletta. Work For a Living Now Four of the old heavyweights, after a tidal wave of prosperity, are working for a living. Mike Shreck is working as a watchman somewhere out on the coast; Jack Munro is handling a pick and shovel and working at his old trade (mining) in Cape Breton; Peter Maher is a bartender in Philadelphia; Fitzsimmons, Corbett and Sullivan are on the stage and Jeffries is practically retired. Jeff quit the ring with a fortune and bought a saloon in Los Angeles which has made him another fortune. Then he purchased a big ranch and he lost no money by that deal. He owns a lot of real estate in Los Angeles and San Francisco and, take all in all he is about the richest of the old fighters. During the last year the earnings of persons confined in British prisons showed an increase of nearly $100,000. At the beginning of last year there were 288,681 indoor paupers in England and Wales. The United Kingdom last year imported from foreign countries 101,921 hundredweight of currants. The Bank of British North America ESTABLISHED ISM Capital and Reserve over $7,000,000.

OPPOSING THE GRAND TRUNK ANOTHER CITY HAS DIFFICULTY WITH COMPANY Fort William Property Owners Object To Granting Railway Running Rights Through the Buaineaa Section of Their City. Fort William, Ont., Aug. 31.—Interested property owners will make a strenuous fight to-morrow, before the Dominion board of railway commissioners, to prevent the issuance of an order giving the Grand Trunk Pacific running rights on Empire avenue and Har- distry street. Under the agreement under which Fort William became the lake terminal of the G. T. P. the city cannot contest the application of the railway for the desired running rights, but the owners of property along the affected thoroughfares have pooled their interests and retained the services of a staff of solicitors. It is understood that the property owners failing to permanently block the railroad from tapping the downtown wholesale and warehouse districts of the city will ask and insist that they be reimbursed for any damage the cutting up of the thoroughfares with railroad tracks will do their property. Members of the board are expected to arrive here this evening and the formal session will be held Saturday morning in the court house at Port Arthur. It is not unlikely that the session will also be featured by the introduction of the application of the C, N, R. for an entrance into Port Arthur from the east, The railway has favored a route which the city will oppose. If the application Is granted the C. N. R. will be placed in effectual control of Port Arthur's entire lake front and the site recently given to the Western Dry Dock and Shipbuilding company will be seriously damaged. The city favors a route on the city side of the C. P. R., which parallels the lake front in the eastern portion of that city. NEWSPAPERS COMPARED Crippen Case Brings Out Certain Contrasting Features The Crippen case has been the cause celebre of the last fortnight. Its most remarkable feature is the number of despatches, fake and genuine, which were worked up. The fake despatches were mainly by American newspaper men who seem to be under contract to send out sensations whether they are true or not. There was a time when a Canadian journalist who needed money and had a good imagination could always get the necessary remittance by sending some outlandish sensation to a New York journal. To-day there is more conscience in the New York press, but nevertheless sensationalism still demands its sacrifices. There never was a time when a Canadian newspaper would publish a sensation which it knew to be untrue or which it suspected might be false. This was the difference between reporting in Canada and the United States. Yet the changes of the years have brought the papers of the two countries nearer to the same standard. The United States press' is less sensational, the Canadian press rather more sensational. As the standards of the "other side" have gone up, Canada's have come down. Perhaps we still have the advantage, but it is not so great. In this Crippen case, the Canadian papers have published "stuff" which it was necessary to contradict later, thus showing that we are not as careful as we once were. Perhaps this is a mark of our growing cosmopolitanism.—Canadian Courier. Plans and Estimates Furnished. Sixth Street, Third Avenue. Box 126. Prince Rupert.

Rapid progress with the work of demolition has reduced the structure to a pile or two of firewood, and a number of loads of quite profitable lumber. Mr. Hicks the contractor for the new general hospital, who bought the old building for a song, is said to have made a very advantageous deal by the transaction, as dry well-seasoned lumber is none too plentiful in the district and The Calumet supplied quite a lot of it which sold again readily at good prices. During the first days of the demolition there was a small silver mine among the old timbers for the workmen engaged in tearing down the place. Long lost coins mostly of the variety known to commerce as the "nimble nickel", which had slipped into crevices and corners eluding search, came again to light. Several four-bit pieces were unearthed, and not a few two-bits. One workman estimated the amount found at from $2 to $2.50 a day during the first days, and about $10 altogether. "But," he remarked "I didn't run across any fat rolls of bills. I guess they must be over there among the mattresses. Across the street from the Calumet another well-known business block is rapidly being reduced to lumber. The compact group of office premises in which F. B. Deacon conducted business till this week, and which was also tenanted by the Christiansen-Brandt firm, C. D. Newton, and Campbell's confectionery store, is cleared of all interior fittings and partitions and reduce to a shell. An interesting fact in support of the city council's precautionary measure regarding the construction of stove chimneys has been brought to light by the workmen engaged in demolishing this building. It was found that a chimney had here been constructed in such a way that the pipe tested simply on the wood beams, and that for a long time during the occupancy of the offices these beams had actually been on fire They were well charred away around the pipe, and evidently had smouldered steadily every time a good fire was in the stove below. Only the absence of a draught of air near them had kept them from bursting into flame which would have certainly spread rapidly to the roof and downwards all through the building. Some very good and well seasoned lumber is in this building also, and it is understood that Mr. Deacon will use it in the erection of his new house.

Ups and Downs of Mining The Greenwood Ledge has the following: "The ups and downs of mining districts are plainly seen in the history of the Slocan. Just thirteen years ago the business done at the mining recorder's office in New Denver was thirty-two times greater than it is at the present time. Still there is yet concealed within the steep mountains of the Silvery Slocan vast stores of mineral wealth, awaiting the day when man will force it into the markets of the world." Kansas City, Sep. 3.—Colonel Roosevelt had a tremendous reception here and in his address pleaded for purity in politics. He said the eyes of all Europe were now on the United States system of government. Forest Fires in Colorado Carson City, Sep. 3.—(Special)—Forest fires are raging in the Tahoe reserve, immense damage to the fine timber. LABOR UNIONS MADE A BOGEY MAY CALL GENERAL STRIKE IN BRITISH ISLES Change in Law Proposed That Interdicts Unions From Collecting Assessments to Support Their Parliamentary Representatives. London, Aug. 31.—A definite alignment of the British working classes against the present Government system is believed to-day to be foreshadowed in the announcement yesterday by the labor conference that it will demand a change in the law that prohibits labor unions from assessing their members for the benefit of their Parliamentary representatives. Ramsay MacDonald, one of the lead ers of the Labor party, declared to-day that "yesterday's resolutions mean more than they say. We are going to obtain our rights or somebody is going to feel the weight of the united opposition of the English workmen." Political leaders are not deceived by the moderate tone of the resolution favoring the inauguration oi a campaign for the right to use union labor funds for political purposes. The resolution is believed to veil a warlike determination, and there is grave fear that they will carry the issue to the point where the Government might be forced to outlaw all labor unions. This would bring the threatened general strike of the 165 labor unions in Great Britain, with a membership of 1,500,000. Leaders of the Liberal party favor making concessions to the labor unions to avoid alienating the Labor and Irish members of Parliament from the present successful Parliamentary alliance. In this, however they are sure to be opposed by the Conservatives, who want the threatened withdrawal to materialize so that they will again have a majority in parliament. SIX CLUB LEAGUE Possibilty of Two More Teams Joining Northwestern There is a possibility that a six- club professional baseball league may be formed in the Northwestern League next year, including teams from Victoria and Everett. Bob Brown, manager for the Vancouver team, looks for something like this to happen rather than see an eight club coast league formed comprising the best cities of the Northwest and California as has been suggested. The fate of the pennant in the Northwestern league is still in doubt. Spokane is leading with Vancouver coming strong in second place. EVERY MAN TO BE TRAINED MILITARY MOVEMENT GROWING IN OLD COUNTRY Prososal To Tax Those Who Evade Military Training.—German Scare Helped to Place Conscription on Popular Basis. London, Aug. 31.—Led by the Tory press of England, the British militarists are rapidly gaining ground on their "Universal service" movement which would render every man between the ages of 16 and 45 subject to at least a year's strict military training. A qualification of this rule would allow exemption on the payment of a certain tax for non-service. On account of this limitation the proposed measure has found advocacy among the "upper classes" as well as with the mass of workingmen. The German scare enabled the militarist press and the London Express in particular to found their arguments for conscription on a popular basis. Already the movement has become an issue that will be threshed out at the next general election. The substance of the scheme is to impress every male subject between 16 and 45 for a minimum service of one year and a maximum of five. For those who would evade such service a tax of considerable percentage will be imposed so that not too many might pay it and the conscription idea thus be defeated.

FREE GOLD AND NATIVE SILVER FURTHER NEWS OF THE RICH STRIKE AT BABINE Portland Parties Locate Wonderful Property and Then Buy Up Neighboring Claims—South End of Lake Fifteen Miles From Railway. This is the story in brief contained in a letter to the Omineca Herald from R. P. Trimble a mining man of Portland, Ore., of the new discoveries in the district near the south end of Babine lake where, as was announced exclusively in the Herald of July 30th, native silver had been recently discovered by two prospectors, Severson and Swanson. Mr. Trimble has spent the summer in this district for the past four years and is representing large capital in Portland and Spokane. Locally he is supposed to be out for Charles Sweeny, the Spokane millionaire. Writing under date of August 17th, he says: "We have struck free gold and native silver near the south end of Babine lake, about fifteen miles from the Grand Trunk right of way. The ore occurs both free and with tellurites, and is similar to the ore deposits of Cripple Creek. There the hills are low lying, with a basement rock of granite, over which were spread breccias and tuffs. Through these came dykes. The whole region is surrounded by granite. So in this country the hills we have struck the rich stuff in are the low lying ones, close to the lake. The basement rock is granite and is covered with something that looks like quartzite, and this is cut by dykes. The ore is very rich in places and much replacement has occurred in the country rock adjoining the fissures. I have found net work gold in the country rock, alongside of several small fissures which carried wore silver. We have located several claims ourselves and have also purchased outright or bonded all the claims located by Severson, Swanson, Haynes andMacdona. They and ourselves are the only ones that I know of who have come into this new place. The district is about two and a half miles wide, but how long it is I had not the time to find out."

FAIR HAS TO BE POSTPONED CANNOT OBTAIN A BUILDING LARGE ENOUGH Will Receive All Exhibits of a Permanent Character and Start Nucleus For Exhibition of Resources in Board of Trade Rooms. A meeting of the Skeena Agricultural and Mining Exhibition association was held in the board of trade rooms last night, Mr. Morris, in the absence of President Tite, in the chair. The details in connection with the exhibit announced for the end of this month were discussed at length, but it transpired that the Foley, Welch and Stewart warehouse would not be available for the purpose as it was shortly to be moved. Not being able to secure a building of sufficient size there was a talk of giving up the exhibition altogether. This at first was strenuously combated, but there seemed to be no help for it. The matter was brought to a focus by a motion by Mr. Dawson that the secretary be instructed to advise all of the ex- cutive committee resident out of town that the large exhibition to begin September 20th had had to be abondoned for the reason stated. This was seconded by Mr. Morrison and carried. The secretary was further instructed to state in the communication that only exhibits of a permanent character were desired, and that these would be shown in the board of trade rooms and other public places, the idea being to start a nucleus for a permanent exhibition of resources, which would form an important feature of the first great annual exhibition. What "U. S. A." Stands For. Most Englishmen addressing letters to the United States use the contraction "U. S. A.," despite frequent admonitions by American friends that the letters stand for "United States Army," and that "U. S." is the correct form. Now the matter has been complicated. It appears that a number of letters destined for places in South Africa have been sent to America because the writers addressed them "U. S. A.," meaning "Union of South Africa," and the British postoffice has had to issue a notice warning the public not to use the initials "U. S. A." when they mean "Union of South Africa." "For these initials are customarily used as an abbreviation of 'United States of America,'" the notice says- London Correspondence to New York Times.

Flirtation With Stamps Flirtation by means of the so-called "language of stamps" has been forbidden in Austria because of the lese majeste committed in subjecting the sovereign's picture to various undignified positions. It should be forbidden in Canada because a stamp in any but the correct position is a hindrance to the expeditious stamping of the mail matter.
