It is probable, the leiter says, tbat the parly will ho delayed at Lake Bennett until tho hrs.kt-pQitlw ioe, An old Denverite writes to ua a« follows: .«'It was with great pleasure that I noticed in the New Denver Ledge of this week, ihat a kind paternal government had o.io-'.nore come to ihe rescue of the most ancient and dullest, town in the Slocan, and had furnished tl.e sum of|150 to clean off some of the accumulated moss that hud |*rown there since the lively times ot tl.e euily 90V, when New Denver was a place of some standing- The special reason for the expression of pleasure made above, is, that some strangers may be induced hv t|.e great and windy promisee made by the Ledge ami others, to visit the Windy City on May 24 I., antl if the town presented its usual 'lu.B been' apiu-arui.ee, i. might reflect discredit on other town* in the district, from tl.e fsct tl.at tl.e said strangers might be induced to value New Denver at its own valuation, vi*. tl.e priucip.il point in tbe Slocan, antl so without investigation condemn the other lo-vns on the strength of what was seen at New Denver. Hence I am glad that the place is to be cleuued up Defore the 24th, even though the goncral public has 'to pay the piper'. "I am also pleased to note tbat Mr. Forbes P. C. is in future to be located at New Denver Of course, I do not know tho reasons for this action of tl.e government. Surely so quiet a place cannot require a constable to make the citizens respect the law- Can it be that the Government wants to prevent the ancient hurt! from being lost off tl.e map and so has sent Mr, Forbes there to prevunt the business men left in the town, from following the majority and taking the.n- Hi'lvet, oil' to lht'|Iiuu..ihiry l.'ieek country.

Mllfll-iO NOTES. A six-foot ledge of rlcn ore has been uncovered near the Taylor k Crow mine at Galice, Oregon, by a Mr. Williams and his partner. The vein has been traced lor a good distance and carries as high as $75 per ton in gold, as well as 16 per cent copper and some silver. During January, February and March, 1899, the actual gold production of the Bonanza, Baker City, was 480 pounds. The gold is worth $16.75 per ounce at the United States assay office and at 12 ounces of gold to the pound makes $96,480 that the Bonanza has yielded in three months. Several strikes are reported from the Siskiyou mountains, Oregon, one man taking out a bunch of ore having over $4,000. The country ls full of prospectors and as the season advances we may expect to have a number of good mines found. In the Waldo district good ore is being founa. The prospector there is looking for copper, some of the copper running very high In gold. Oregon's new mining law makes It mandatory on all persons, companies or corporations employing miners to file with the county recorder and post In the mine office, the name or names of the owners, whether the work Is being done as owner, lessee or agent, where the principal office ls located' the name of the responsible represent it- Evil Dispositions Are Early Shown."

Manila, May 6.—Thc rebels are whipped. The end has ben reached for them. Colonel Manuel Argueles, chief of stall for General Luna, who, with Major Jose Bergal, is here as a special envoy from Aguinaldo to plead for an armistice told me this frankly today. Colonel Argueles comes directly from General Luna, who is the commanding general of the insurgent army, and is the right aim of the revolutionary pirly. "We know that we are whipped," said he. "I don't mind ad mitting that Aguinaldo is discouraged. More than this the troops are de'rrmintd to surrender, and tbey have not been backward in submitting th it position to the leaders.'' The military representa'ivis of the rebel leader arc much cast down at tl.e stern position a*umed by General Otis, but .he feeling here is tl.at the American general is making the only permissi le stand, an 1 will force a complete surrender.

I was also troubled with falling of the womb. I could not eat, had faint spells aa often as ten times a day.

Sixteen buildings were blown down a.nl tl.e roof was torn from tl.e railroad roundhouse. Sixteen injured persons had btet. taken from the wrecked house up to i; o'clock, but only one death had been reported. J. H. Murray, a railroad man, was dead when taken flora the wreck of a building. ituimrs of greater l.-ss of life are about, but cannot be confirmed. Only one telegraph wire runs out of Chickasaw, an,I there is little chance of getting a list of tie inju.el t n'g':t The storm came from the southwest, preceded by a heavy hail and followed hy a tlood of rain. The path of the storm was right down Chickasaw avenue, the main street of the town, and nearly every building on the street was either wrecked or unroofed and tl.e contents exposed to thc rain. A dispatch reteived in Wichita from Tonga wa says that in Canton township, 18 utiles west, greut dam ge waa do:.e I y a tornado. The family of J. H. Ware took refuge in a storm cave, which became s,*> h -avy from the constant rain that it fell in, killing three members,of the family. Tie hiusis of J. C. Tounel and S.

Although the state assembly of Illinois has appropriated $9,000 for that purpose, tbe Illinois congressional delegation ls at loggerheads over the proposition and may prevent lt. The opposition to placing a statue of a woman In the hall is headed by Representative Hopkins, of Illinois, on the ground that Illinois had four distln- gushed sons— Ulysses S.

The report of General Otis today indicates that tlie American troops are well disposed lt has been evident that the insurgents who were operating in the swamps and jungles east of MacArthur have been very annoying, but the army gunboats have made it too hot for them to remain. Law- ton appears to be pushing northward 15 miles to the eist of MacArthur. The Rio Grande lies between them, and there the gunboats evidently are at work. The portions of the di-*patch whicli thc department has not made public possibly refer to the future movements of the two divisions of the army.

In New York a young woman suffering from paralysis of the right arm, superinduced from holding up her skirt, was taken to one of the city hospitals Monday. She had been in the habit of wearing one of the latest tailor made gowns with a train. This long skirt paralysis is due to holding the arm ln one position too long, which, with the weight of the skirt, affects the muscles and the nerves. The affliction is similar to that with which base ball players suffer and which Is called by them the "glass arm." The complaint, physicians say, can be cured by massage treatment, but the arm will remain weak. Italy exported last year 21.000 ancient and modern works of art, valued at $600, ii.O.

The following letter has beer) sent j to us, with the request that wo do what we can to push along the scheme proposed. We have no hesitation i.n endorsing the hopes of the writer that a Slocan Football League will be formed, Our correspondent says; Sir; In view of the (act ih.it the towns uf the Slocan have all oruanized football clubs, would ii not i.e in tl.e interest of I lie game to form a Slocan Football League? Slocan City, Silverton, New Denver and Sandon clubs could arrange ii series £of games, which would prove interesting. The Season is well advanced ami il anything is to be done in this direction, it should be started at once. 1 would suggest that the secretary oi the Silverton club should correspond with the secretaries of lhe clubs mimed ami if tho idea meets with acceptance, a secretaries' meeting could be held and .. schedule of games drawn up. I leave ihjs for the consideration ol those interested. Yours truly, FOOTBALLER, As we stated last week, New Denver is supported by tho charity of the Province at large. Professional beggars, their cries never cease, and the sop of 9150. thrown them this week only whet their appetite for more MONEY TO BURN. Our local government hss been badly affected with the prevailing Imperialistic idea and is anxious to pose as an assistant of world wide enterprises. This craving for notoriety tempted the members of the executive to put a meddlesome finger into tho Anglo-i American Oommission l.y si.zing the season of its session to pass tbe Alien Exclusion Act, thinking doubtless that their action would throw the American commissioners into a state of terror. A good deal of. the blame for the t'-iluro of tbo CotnmiMto- U-u ln-en attributed to this action of the Legislature. No* their, efforts aro taking a d._ere.it turn. They arc vieing with Great Britain herself in contributing toward the expense of the Pacific Cable scheme, A cool million is the amount tbey are contributing as an advertisement for the Province This is one-ninth of the cost of the cable, and Australia, Canada and Great Britain aro partners iu tbe enterprise. The question is, arc w? not paying to much for our whistle! In this part of British Columbia, and wo do not think that tbis section is any exception to (be rest, tl.e want of good roads aud trails is retarding development of the mines. The entire sum of $15,000,, tbe amount voted for the Slooan, could be used to advantage in road building in the immediate vicinity af Silverton. This amount spread out from Slocan Crossing to Arg-'nta will be barely sufficent to repair the seasons ravages on the road) already in use and it seems useless to ask for any farther grant to build new mads. No great amount of grumbling has been heard over the smallne-u of this estimate, those interested believing that the government was giving all that could be spared. Now that the executive has proposed to sink a million in the Pacific for tbe benefit of a few coast cities, a different hue is cast over ths sise of tbe road building fund of the Kootenay. Wo are not con/o.»ant with the dividend paying qualities of a cable company, bat we venture to say that a sum of money equal to that suggested as our share of the cable laying, invested in roods snd trails throughout the mining sections of tbe province, woald return a dividend into the money chests of tbe province, ten times irreater th_n that produced by a one- ninth interest in the Pacific, cable, and as an advertisement for the Province, would b»vo a many times more far reaching effect than, the presence of a landing station for the American end of tbo cable, somewhere on the coast of the Provinoe, Bn(ith Columbians eon justly be a-ked to contribute their share of the Dominion subsidy, bat a Dominion as well as a Provincial tax comes high.
