I ass -J ■rf mr •,reai«Uut,» Message Washington, Dec. 3.—The message opens with a brief survey of the growing strength and increasing power for good ol republic institutions and American liberty at the outgoing of the old and the incoming ol tbe new century. The Chinese problem is made the dominant question in the foreign intercourse and an elaborate review is made of thc details of military operations and diplomatic steps taken in the progress of settlement up to thc present time. In the event of a protracted divergence of views in the Chinese negotiations, (he president favorably inclines to Russia's suggestion that the matter of indemnity be relegated to the court of arbitration at The Hague. Uncertainty is expressed as to the prospects of the well-nigh extinguished German trade. The settlement of thc Samoan problem has accomplished good results. The friendly relations with Great Britain continues. The war in South Africa introduced important and vexatious questions. Appropriate representations resulted in the British government agreeing to purchase outright all goods seized showed to be the act.ial property of American citizens, thus closing the incident to the satisfaction of thc immediately interested parties.

COST OF MINING REDUCED Legal Expenses Heavy — A New Rate for Freight and Treatment Probable The modus vivendt in Alaska boundary matters, has so far worked without friction, and tlie Dominion government has provided rules and regulations for securing to our citizens the benefit of stipulations. It is at best but an unsatisfactory makeshift, which should not be suffered to delay the speedy and complete establishment of a frontier line to which we are entitled under the Russo-American treaty for the cession of Alaska. The Toronto paper* publish long accounts of the Centre Star meet- ng last week, and take the view that another step has been made the recovery of the mining industry of Canada, in the resumption of dividends by this company. WUat Ur. (-iooderbam Maid. Among other things the president of the company said "The chief hope for reduction in the cost of mining lay in the adoption of the contract system, which the Miner's union had heretofore, by an over- whelming majority, refused to allow, although at the same time the cost of mining has been stead- ! ily increasing. Under these circumstances, which had existed from the first, and which everybody understood, it was made clear to us by our new manager, Mr. E. B KI11 hrurt-V First III.pal. li. The first dispatch from Gen. Kitchener from Bloemfimtein.Nov, 30, confirms the fighting between Gen. Pilcher and Gen. De Wet as cabled and adds the latest reports regard ing Gen.

Cole,oDe of the best known ifram dealers in Toronto, died last evening. ^T^ Gen. Kitchener reports from - - .. VUMIIIItU, and these enabled the management to reduce the cost of operations. He quoted figures of the manager to show that the actual cost of mining in the War Eagle averaged $2.20 per ton last month, as against $3.gt, for the year ending September 30, and that the total cost of production last month was $3.25 per ton against $5.20 the past year. This means a reduction of about 45 per eenf. This reduction of course greatly increased the possible output of the mine, by making a vast amount of lower grade avaiable.

It was a formal affair and of little public interest. Small crowds ia* semb'ed to see the beef eaters who carried* out the usual search for possible conspirators in the vaults beneath the house of pailiament with the customary ceremonial, and with the customary result. There was likewise the usual competition of zealous membeis of parliament to be first on the scene, and Mr. J. C. MacDonald, Conservative member tor Southwark easily secured the choice of seats, arriving in the bouse at midnight. The llun... n**tm The only business before the house was the election of a speaker. This did not occupy any] length of time as there was no opposition to the re-election of Mr. Win, Court Gully for a third term. The real work of the session will not begin until Thursday with the raiding of the Queen's speech Four Men Drauuea Spokane, Dec. 1. — Four lives were lost here last night by the capsizing of a ferry boat in the Spokane river. The ferry is about two miles down the river. It was crossing (he stream with 18 workmen, who had ended their day's work in a construction camp near the Great Northern's new bridge. The men crowded to the bow and it was forced under by the swift current and the boat was swamped. All the men were thrown into the wattr. Five swam to shore and the others climbed on the capsized boat- The waves ran high and washed four of them off to drown. The dead are: L. Simons, colored, lack Lovett and two unknown Italians. The explosion was caused bv two Chinese, both of whom were killed. Tien Tsin, Dec. 3.—Tan Wen Huan, the author of the Pao Tung Fung massacres, was paraded through the Victoria road in a cart under a strong German guard previous to his decapitation. London, Dec. 4.—The Kanow expedition proved inefficient, the Chinese avoiding all attempts to engage them. The towns en route were occupied unopposed and tons of skins and silver were levied. The cavalry captured the baggage of the retreating Chinese force at Stven Hwa Shu, killed 20 of its guards and secured 20,000 taels. Three mandarins, instigators of the massacres of converts at Tsi Ming, and 23 Boxers were executed. luttw Hobrrl* London, Dec. 3.—Her Majesty Queen Victoria has decided to confer a dukedom on Lord Roberts and parliament will be asked to vote him ^.100,000, kane street.
