J3XJKHVJS & oo WHOLESALE AND RETAIL DEALERS IN ALL KINDS OE FRESH AND SALT MEATS At the regular meeting of the Silverton Miners* Union held on Saturday May 2Gth 1900, a resolution was introduced and carried hy a unanimous vote declaring that the interests of the miners and all other wage earners would bc best served hy the election of 11. F. Green, the Independent Provincial Party candidate, at tho ensuing election. Therefore it is resolved that this resolution be given as much publicity ns possible in order that all who have the Interests of the workingman at hcait and are striving for just und good government may know the stand taken by the woikiiiginen of Silverton. We therefore recommend that all workingmen iu the Slocan Riding use their votes and influence to bring about the election of Robert F. Green aud wc further ask that every member of this Union come to the polls on election day and cant their votes, as they owe it as a sacred duty to f.'.ie Cause, themselves and their Country. We lake this action is consideration of the fact that R, F. Green has been a conscientious worker in the cause of good government and a staunch supporter of the Eight-hour law and surely deserves re-election ut the hands ot Unpeople. We further more b lieve that this election is practically a plebiscite ou the E'glit-liour law and that the defeat of II. E. Green would mean its repeal and another labor struggle. So we ask all the friends of labor to cast tbeir vot{.s accordingly. By Ordi r of the Executive Committee of Union No. 95, W. F. of M.

"The quarrel which England has is with the government, and not the people, of the Transvaal. Provided they remain neutral, no attempt will be made to interfere with people living near the line of march. Every possible protection will be given them. Any of their property which it may be necessary to take will be paid for. "But, on the other hand, those thus allowed to remain near the line of march must respect and maintain neutrality. The residents of any locality will be held responsible, in both their persons and property, for any damage done to the railway or telegraph, or for violence done to any member of the British forces in the vicinity of their homes."

Tien Tsin, May 29.—A detachment of 200 Chinese soldiers bas cleared the railway between here and Pekin and ordinary service was resumed at noon. No news bas been received from the Belgian engineers engaged in the construction of the Luhan line. In other respects the situation is mote quiet. Thirty Japanese have arrived from the gunboat Okagan. The French warship Gentreas- chaux And the gunboat Surprise have left Taku. London, May 29.—A special dispatch from Shanghai says: "It is believed that Russia is about to land troops at Taku Irom Port Arthur, where 20,000 are in readiness. 1 "The Chinese are reported to be sending large masses of troops overland from llu Nan and Kiang, but the generalissimo refuses to assume command on the plea of sickness.

Large godowns (Chinese wharehouses) full of valuable merchandise were burned after having been looted by rioters. The damage done is estimated at half a million ' taels. The neighboring villages seem to have joined in the attack, showing that the rising against the government i.s not confined to the Boxers. Eight rioters who were captured will be decapitated. Riding through the south gate of Pekin, the correspondent found the road inside the walls lined with troops, who greeted the traveler and his party with a fusilade of stones. The whole country is seething with excitement and it i.s hard to forotell the course of events. Shanghai, May 30.—The British warships Orlando and Algerine are landing 100 men at Taku, where the French, Russian and Japanese guards have already disembarked.

There is much mystery involved, but the arrests appear to.be connected with the same charges of sedition, which, two months ago, led to 200 arrests in St. Petersbuig and to 100 in Warsaw." Only a Yellow Journ.i] Fake. London, May 30.—The officials of the British war office deny in unqualified terms the statement cabled to a New York newspaper that the war office here had asked Lord Roberts if he believed he could land 10,000 of his troops in Kngland before October 1, the paper intimating that this was a step towards preparing for "any eventualities arising from the crisis in Prance."

Buencamino, a former member of Aguina'.do's cabinet, thus describes the change American rule has wrought in Manila: "Today, in Manila, we see public funds expended for the benefit of the people in the construction of markets and bridges, in street repairs, in schools, in a police force.

Simon Dale was second and Disguise II, third. The conditions of lhe race were as follows: The Derby stakes of 6,000 sovereigns by subscription of 50 sovereigns each, half forfeit, 25 sovereigns only if declared by the first Tuesday in January, 1899, for three year olds, the nominator of the winner to receive 500 sovereigns, the owner of the second horse 300 sovereigns, and the owner of the third 200 sovereigns out of the stakes, distance about one mile and a half. The entries closed July 18, 1898. There were 602 subscribers. The following was the result in detail: The Prince of Wales' B. C. Diamond Jubilee, by St. Simons, out of Perdita II (II. Jones), 1; the Duke of Portland's B. C. Simon Dale, by St. Simons, out of" Ismay (M. Cannon.) 2; James R. Keene's B C. Disguise II, by Domino, out of Bonnie Gal (Tod Sloane) 3. The scenes and incidents along the Epsom road on Derby dav differ little from another Derby day, but lhe introduction of Union Jacks and banners inscribed "Johannesburg," in joyful recognition of Lord Roberts' entry into the Gold Reef city, was a feature of the sporting holiday. On the downs portraits of the Queen and the favorite generals A'erc marked and distinctive features of the day's jollification. Although the weather was not promising, tho exodus from London was hardly less remarkable than in previous years. Thc Epsom road was congested by every variety of vehicle, while the trains had difficulty in carrying the throngs blockading all the stations. A large number of Americans patronized the coaches. The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Vork, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Christianof Schleswig-Holstein went to Epsom by special train. The Aus tralian federation delegates traveled on the same train. King Oscar of Sweden and Norway was expected to accompany the Prince of Wales, but was indisposed. At Epsom unusual crowds were on the hill and downs. The club and other stands and the enclosures showed the effects of the war in a marked decrease in number of fashionable people present. Many hun- dieds of regular Derby visitors are in South Africa. Thc day, therefore, was not only shorn of much of its military interest, but the friends and relatives of officers at the front refrained from attending. VKIIIIICTOfl MA II LIN. Police sun leekloc ter ibe Guilty One PcclluitAmouK (lilne.c. The coroner's jury Tuesday even- ing returned the following verdict on the death of Mali I.i„, who was found dead on the afternoon of May 24, at Rossland, in a kitchen where he was employed: "From the evidence produced, we find that thc deceased, Mali Lin, came to his death as the result of a gunshot, fired by some person or persons unknown, and that the said shot was fired from a number 32 calibre rifle produced in Court, and that the shot was fired Irom within the house, where the body of the deceased was found." Thc police are making vigorous efforts to discover who fired the fatal shot and it is hoped that they will discover some definite evidence, as the Stevens family are prepar. ing to leave the city. The Chi- "esc population is in a highly ner. vous condition on the subject and only the assurances „f ,|,e most in- teliigeut among them succeed in convincing them that justice will be done, PLAGUE AT MANILA Four Suspected Gases and the Quarantine is Applied. Manila, May 26.—The government corral at Manila has been quarantined. There are four suspected cases of bubonic plague among teamsters who are, living in filthy dwellings. Since the murders on board the steamer El Cano by native sailors, shippers have been feartul of a repetition of the tragedy and have requested the authorities to furnish soldier guards for steamers, which have been declined. Three commercial steamers are now in the bay, their Spanish captains refusing to sail until protected and others are imitating them. The authorities have returned the captains their revolvers, of which they were recently deprived. Colonel Padilla, the rebel governor of Nueva Ecija, was captured during the recent fighting at Nueva Ecija. PKIMiKKIN OP ZALA MINK Ledge Widening on 300-foot Level-. «rral Bod j .in Sight. A satisfactory report on the condition of the Zala mine was made to the directors by Superintendent D, M. Snyder on May 21. He states that the upraise from the 300 to the 150-foot level was completed on April 17, giving thorough ventilation and drainage to a depth of 312 feet on the pitch of the vein. The vein averages 3 feet wide between the levels, with values as good as in other workings. The south drift had reached a distance of 150 feet from the cross- c ut tunnel and the showing was most highly encouraging. The ledge averaged 3 feet 3 inches for 110 feet, then began to widen and for the last 40 feet was from 5 to 8 feet wide. He believes a still stron- er body of ore will be met 150 feet further south, there being a body of quartz on the surface above this point, which carries much characteristic high grade ore. He has thoroughly explored the croppings and found the vein continuous to the south limits of the claim. Mr. Snyder expresses the conviction that the whole body of quartz can be treated on the spot at a large profit and that with some sorting a considerable quantity ot high grade ore can be obtained. He estimates that there are 12,000 tons of ore in sight. He gives a table of assays, showing a value of $262 at a point 25 feet up the raise and general samples from the south drift ranging from $13.48 to $69, the bulk of the value being in silver. The value of the 14 tons shipped was $134.93 silver and $9.12 gold per ton. ."DOMINATIONS FOR LKtUSLATIHK Llal of Candidate* to He Voted for on June I).

In explaining the impossibility of American intervention in South Africa, the Salt Lake Tribune says: "England has a vast territory in South Africa outside of the so-called free states, and this war means that South Africa must be all English or all Boer, because when President Kruger began the war he did not begin with the intention of merely establishing the independence of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State, but Cape Colony as well. And that, in the very nature of things, was an impossibility from the first, because it would mean such a breaking of prestige and such a humiliation to Great Britain that, were England to admit it, her influence in the world's work would be nil; there would not be a nation of Europe that would respect her; there would not be one wild tribe in Asia or Africa that would not be willing to accept the belief that she, as a world power, had ceased to exist." That states the case precisely. When the Boers not meiely declared war, but carried the war into British territory, pretended to annex it and stirred up rebellion among the Queen's Dutch subjects, it became necessary for Great Britain not merely to drive out the invaders but to utterly destroy them as independent states. This was necessary in order that there might remain no nucleus of disaffection from which the conflict]might be renewed. This condition of affairs made the war as much a struggle for the suppression of rebellion and the extirpation of its smallest roots as it was a conflict with independent or semi-independent states. By their own act the Boers mad; any middle course impossible. Had the Transvaal simply refused the concessions demanded by the imperial government and had British troops been sent into the country to enforce the demands of the suzerain power, matters would have assumed a very different form. The Transvaal government might have been allowed to continue with the changes necessary to ensure equal rights to all nationalities, with the disarmament of its fortresses and the establishment of British garrisons in its principal cities. No pretext would have existed for any attack on the independence of the Orange Free State. It is evident that in their vaulting ambition to establish an Afrikander confedera tion, the Boers rushed to their own destruction and, when their republics become British crown colonies, they will have nobody to thank but themselves. But they may ultimately thank the British government, when they have learned to appreciate the blessings of British law and liberty and have had an opportunity to make the comparison with Krugerism. The Boer peace envoys will ship a cargo of sympathy from the United States for use in the defense of Pretoria when the British army besieges that city. It will not be declared contraband of war at Lorenzo Maiques. ACROSS THE VAAL Queen's Birthday Celebrated by Invasion of Transvaal. London, May 26.—The warol- fice has received the following dispatch from Lord Roberts: "Wolvehoek, Orange Free State—The advanced portion of this force crossed the Vaal river on the Queen's birthday near Parys. Hamilton's column is at Boschbank. Our scouts are now at Viljoen's Drift, on the frontier north of Wolvehoek. The local mines are uninjured and working on as usual. There is no enemy this side of the river. "Hunter reached Vryburg May 24." Will Dashou the Hal I road. London, May 26.—As anticipated, the first news after a long silence from Lord Roberts was the announcement that the British had crossed the Vaal river. This is probably Gen. Hutton's column, which crossed at Parys and may be expected to make a dash at the railroad in the neighborhood of Potchefstroom, whence there is direct communication with Johannesburg. General Hamilton's command is at Boschbank, which is close to the river and about eight miles northwest of Wolvehoek. Will Alia, li Johannesburg Nc*l. Roberts' headquarters may be expected to also cross the Vaal river and create a diversion on the flank ot any federal force in the neighborhood of Vereeniging. As he has only about 15 miles to travel, a speedy announcement may be expected that the British commander- in-chief himself has gained a foothold in the Transvaal and that he will move on the federal position south of Johannesburg in the middle of the coming week. Ilnudle aud Buller to Co-operate Rundle ought to be close to Bothley by now and it is expected that we shall hear of a decisive action on the Harrismith railway, in which part of Buller's force will cooperate, in the direction of Van Reenen's pass. Should the Pretoria bulletin announcing the re-occupation of Heil- bron by the federals be true, it will be a totally unexpected development, as Gtn. Hamilton occupied Heil- bron Tuesday and nothing has been heard from there since. Free Stiller* ltd iim- to Fight. Newcastle, Friday, May 25.— Louis Koch, magistrate of the Free State, has surrendered. He says that all burghers in the Harnsmith- Vrede district have returned to their farms and refuse to continue fighting. If, as reported, President Steyn is in Yrede, he will probably go northward towards Laing's Nek, if he finds any followers. IMS IVI lit AT HOI TIIAMFTON. Fill)' Workuiru Burled by Collapse of Building cud Several Killed. Southampton, May 28.—The concrete piles of the new storage premises in course of construction at Southampton docks collapsed this afternoon and the structure fell, burying fifty workmen, several of whom were killed. Others were fatally mangled and many are still missing. Derision on Chinese Plague Scare San Francisco, May 26.—It was announced today that the division of the United States court on the application for an injunction filed hy Chinese residents of this city, preventing the federal officers and the citv board of health from interfering with the free passage of Chinese from this city to other places on account of the plague scare, will be filed on Monday. Fatal Nhootlug All my. St Louis, Mo., May 28.—As the result of an encounter last night between striking and working employes of the Transit system, three men were shot, one being fatally, and others seriously wounded. Accounts of the affair differ. Some bystanders claim that it was a deliberate attempt at assassination on the part of the company's new employes, while others aver that it was nothing more or less than a pitched battle between the two factions. Three unknown men made good their escape by the time the police arrived on the scene. ilm-l-ill,i--_»-l.U REACH THE GOAL The Kind of a Man (.'ol. Plumer Ik Col. Plumer, whose name is so often seen in connection with the much-longed-for relief of Mafeking, writes a correspondent, is a dapper little man of scarcely 5 feet 5 inches although an impression seems to have got abroad Ihat he is tall. He is one of the greatest dandies imaginable, but does not let the tastes of an exquisite interfere with a sincere devotion to his profession or with the great love of all kinds of sports for which he is notorious. When stationed with his regiment at Cape Town it is said that he often changed his clothes six or eight times in the course of the day. His wife is an exceedingly tall English blonde, with a most perfect figure. Kx-Com-lcls to Be Ileported New Vork, Mey 28.—James Kitz- harris and Joseph Mullett, the ex- convicts excluded by the board of special enquiry yesterday, will be deported on the steamship I.ucanaia next Saturday, unless application is made to contest the action of the board. THK SIM WAS lilllhlMli Beautiful Effects of the liclipac 11* Seen lu Virginia Fort Monroe, Va., May 28.—The sun was totally eclipsed at 8:53 o'clock in a cloudless skv. The period of totality was about 30 seconds, during which time a tiny star hung just below the magnificent corona which glowed around the inky disc. Twilight settled on land and water and the skies took on wonderful after-sunset tints. Then, as if by magic, a star of fire blazed out on the southern boundary of the disc and the eclipse was over. Tamilian) Will be lor llryau. New Vork, May 28.—New Vork's state delegation to the Democratic national convention will be instructed by the Democratic state convention, which meets in this city on June 5, to vote for William Jennings Bryan's renomination for president. Tammany Hall, in an official statement made by John F. Carroll last night, acting on instructions cabled by Richard Croker from Wantage, England, declared unequivocally in favor of having thc delegates so instructed. Tammany is now talking ol Dewey for second place. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. The Boer envoys still labor under the delusion that in war the defeated party dictates terms. The United States senate will be the scene of the first performance of a new version of the play "Why Smith Left Home," with W. A. Clark of Montana as a star player. The Canadians in South Africa are so highly prized that Lord Roberts is beginning to sprinkle them like salt in the other regiments.— Toronto Star. Aguinaldo has entered the same category as Lost Charlie Ross, the man who struck Billy Patterson, Tascott, the murderer, Andree, the aeronaut, and olheioincn who enhanced their fame by disappearing. The Cubans are having a practical demonstration of tbe difference between the American and Spanish method of treating a rascal who has been found out. The trouble with the Spanish oiliciais was that corruption was so universal among them that none of them dared find out anybody else. Majuba Hill may appear like no obstacle at all to Buller after the heights which he had to climb in his march to the relief of Ladysmith. There are points in the country over which General Buller has advanced these last few days which are as defensible ns Majuba Hill.—Toronto Telegram. French and the Advance Guard Reported at Johannesburg Capetown, May 28.—It is rumored here that General French has entered Johannesburg. Ilrltlall OrClipj Nelieiuil. Senekal May 27.—Gen. Rundle, with artillery, the Yeomanry and tbe Wilts, Middlesex and Leicester regiments, under Major Dalbiac, has occupied Senekal, whence the Boers were driven by a few shells. A field cornet and a number of other Boers were killed. The British casualties numbered 11. The Boers are believed to be concentrating near Bethlehem. Will Boera t Ittlil at the Klip! London, May 28.—2:13 p. m.— Although the federals are said to be preparing for strong resistance at the Klip river, those who have most closely followed the progress of the war since the British and Boer armies came in touch at Brandfort are very sceptical as to the burghers seriously disputing Lord Roberts' advance even there. May Capture Boer (iuiiM. If no stand is made at Klip river, the safety of the Boer guns at Laing's Nek will be seriously imperiled, for there will be nothing to prevent Lord Roberts from seizing the Johannesburg-Laings Nek railroad. Indeed, it is already reported that the railroad has been cut and it is quite possible that the first official news will record the occupation of Heidelberg. Cavalry Will Kuan Ahead. • Lord Roberts may be forced to ball at the Vaal river to repair the bridge and get bis guns and transport across, but the mounted m e.i will not be delayed, and it is said in high quarters that the speedy announcement ot the arrival of the British cavalry at Johannesburg will not surprise the war ollice. Loaaea in Siege of Mafeking. A dispatch from Mafeking-, dated May 23, says the total casualties ince the commencement of the siege were 803. Among tbe white combatants out of 44 officers 22 were killed, wounded or missing, and 190 men out ot 975 were killed, wounded or missing. The Kecupturc of llellbron Iloublcd New Vork.May 28.—I. N. Ford's last London cable to the Tribune upon the South African war situation says: "No particulars of the crossing of the Vaal near Parys are yet forthcoming other than those contained in General Roberts' ollicial message. "The reported recapture of Ileil- bron by the Boera is not yet confirmed and there is a tendency to doubt the accuracy of the Pretoria telegram. If, however, the Boers really occupied the place, General Roberts should not have much difficulty in turning them oul again. "Although the federal troops have been retreating so rapidly from their positions in the Free State, it is considered highly probable that they will make at least one big effort to maintain their possession of the Rand. "No news from Natal has been received this morning." Boer Suppllcaaiul llecrulta London, May 28.—Advices received here assert that supplies continue to go to the Boers from Lorenzo Marques, and that foreign recruits for the Boer army proceed from the same point. No Negotiation* for Peace. London, May 28.- -In the bouse of commons today the government leader, A. J. Balfour, said he bad no information in regard to the reported negotiations for peace with the Transvaal.

BOXERS OPEN WAR They Wreck Railroad and Are Marching on Ping Tai. Tien Tsin, May 28.—The Boxers burned the Lieu Lino station of the Luhan railway, 29 miles from Pekin, last night. They also wrecked the track, destroyed a number of cars and murdered several Chinese employes. The Belgian engineers in charge of the work are safe at Fitig Tai. The Boxers are march'ng toward Pekin. JLnter—The British and Belgians have left Fing Tai and the Boxers are expected there today. A relief train is bringing the refugees to Tien Tsin. * Train service between Pekin and Tien Tsin has been suspended since noon today. The United States cruiser Newark and a French man of war have ar- ived at Taku. Foatcr on the Political Outlook Montreal, May 28.—Hon. G. E. Foster passed through the city last night on his way to Fredericton, N. B., where he delivers-the alumni oration at the university of New Brunswick this evening. In an interview the ex-finance minister declared tbere was no need of Hon. Mr. Tarte's presence at the Paris exposition. Regarding dissolution, he said he did not think the government bad come to any decision regarding that subject. He spoke hopefully of the outlook in New Brunswick for the Conservative party. A Prince Climb* Sulphur Mountain Banff, N. W. T., May 28.—The ascent of Sulphur mountain in the Canadian National park was made Saturday by Prince Kalamanola, of the Hawaiian islands, under the charge of tbe Swiss guides stationed at Banff. The summit was reached in three hours, the last part of the climb being through deep snow. The prince, who is en route for the Paris exhibition, has left for the east. Will Obaerve Sunday lu Paris Toronto, May 28.—An Evening Telegram cable from Paris says the Canada pavilion at the exposition will positively be closed on Sundays. 1IIMM. ON TIIK L1KOKAI . Compressor ior iii<- silver Cup The lliiili nail Badly Needed. R, P. Pettipiece, editor of the Ferguson Eagle, which is published in the centre of the Lardeau mining district, is in Rossland to meet his family, who are coming from Idaho, where they have been spending tbe winter. He tells of the outlook for an active summer there, saying: "The Silver Cup is putting in a compressor, tbe first in the Lardeau, to be used in driving a 1300 foot tunnel on the Sunshine to tap the main workings of the Silver Cup. This will give a depth of 800 feel and will employ 40 men. "The Nettie Lhas tapped the ledge with a tunnel and is putting on more men to drift and stope ore. On the north fork of the Lardeau river the Scottish-Canadian, the Canadian-Lardeau, the Monitor, owned by A. E. We'sh, of London, Ont, are all putting on more men. "But the future of that district depends on the completion of the railroad fron Duncan to Trout lake, for the Nettie L is the only mine trying to ship this summer and the Silver Cup only ships in winter. Only strong companies can afford to operate under such conditions, for it will cost the Silver Cup St0,000 to haul in its com-, pressor. Tbe C. P. K. oiliciais say they will complete the road as soon as we get a stable government in British Columbia. The line i.s already graded from Kaslo to Duncan and it only needs the track and ballasting on that section and the building ol the other 28 miles to Trout lake to complete it. We shall do our part towards a stable government, for Taylor will surely be elected over Alex McRae, the Martinite." 1 ■ __________! Tiie MAI!

The object of their enemies are thus defeated, and instead of being able to split the miners vote 'and thus d'ifeat them, they have only succeeded in making the miners show a more solid front than before.
