GOAT CREEK WATER CASE CAME BKVOBB THE COMMIS- SIONKH TUESDAY. Citizen's Committee Appears at the Hear lag—Both Parties, Not Being Incorporated, Have no Standing—The Case Adjourns*! for Two Weeks. On Monday the citizens' committee, with W. J. Andrews at its head, proceeded to Nelson to appear at the Bitting of the water commissioner's court, next day, relative to the application made respectively by a private corporation and the citizens for 500 inches of water from Goat creek. Thc water was to be used for domestic purposes. J. A. Turner, government agent, was in the chair; A. Johnson, of McDonald & Johnson.ap peared with J. C. Shook, on behalf of the (to be organized) Slocan City Water & Light Co., and the committee for the citizens. The proceedings were brief but interesting. Mr. Johnson presented his ease for the company, they having made the first application. The committee duly protested, presenting a strong resolution, signed by numerous citizens, in opposition to the company. Mr. Turner asked the smiling barrister whether be had the certificate of incorporation of the company. This was a knocker, but Mr. Johnson said his people were applying for it. The commissioner said he could not entertain the applicafon until the certificate whs forthcoming, as fhe company had no standing in the court. To the committee, Mr. Turner said the citizens were in a similar position, as not being an incorporated body; bat if they bad been so situated then the town would get the water at once. Tbe committee stated they did not wish to act in an arbitrary man ner with the company, but suggested that the latter should have met tin- citizens and endeavored t'i arrive at an amicable settlement, in order to secure tire protection for the town. In answer to a question, Mr. Shook thought there was 1500 inches of water in tlie creek, while the committee said 300 inches was nearer the mark. Mr. Shook als > made the surprising statement that, if his company had had the slightest idea or knowledge that the citizens were seeking incorporation at thc time, the company never would have made a move towards attempting to put in a water system. Mr. Johnson, supporting Mr. Shook, volunteered the assertion that thc company would have the water system installed in Slocan long before the citizens would secure incorporation—which move of the citizens he treated as a great joke. However, in answer to Mr. Turner's statement respecting the company certilicate, Mr. Johnson moved for an adjournment ofthe case, which was granted. The next hearing will take place at Nelson, on Jan. 2'J, at 2 30 o'clock. Dry Ore* In Fashion. Since the wet ores of the country passed under the ban of the American smelter octopus, numerous articles have appeared in the press calling attention to the dearth in the supply of dry ores. As a result, the local division has been brought prominently to the front, and investing CH'ital has become most amenable to the advantages of the camp and its resource During tho week, representatives of tw * smelters have been here sizing up thc situation, and they predicted treatment charges on dry ores would be largely reduced in a short time. The smelters want dry ores and they feel disposed to oiler big inducements to get the desired article, The mineral resources of the division, though in their infancy, have been sufficiently well proven to promise success to the carctul inves tors, hence the numerous inquiries now being made for properties. Strike on the Enterprise. On Thursday last a rumor reached here that an important new strike had been made on the Enterprise. Next day one of the men from the mine happened in town and continued the report. It had been made in the No. 2 workings, just above the Iron Horse. For several hundred feet this drift had ore, right from the surface. During the last two months the ore has been lost sight of. A crosscut was then made to the right, and last week the ore chute wns caught, showing 15 inches of clean mineral. Drifting has sinoe been pushed on tho chute, with varying success. Iran Mines atthe Junsitlon. Frequent reports have come In of late of new discoveries of deposits of Iron ore within ii tew hundred feet ot the railroad ut Slocan Junction, J.. G. Devlin, known as the "Gunner from Gal way," made thc first location, having W. F. Teetzel, of Nelson, as a partner. Since then a number of locations have been made. The ore carries upwards of 50 per cent iron and is of first-class quality. A test is being made by the Nelson smelter and, if satisfactory, their future supply of fluxes will be obtained from the new camp. Half a dozen men are employed at the Devlin property. THE SHELTER TRUST. . Oscar White, manager of the Slocan Star mine, at Sandon, came up Wednesday from Nelson. He stated that a conference had been held at Sandon, on Friday last, between the mine owners and Messrs. Braden, representing the smelter trust; Johnson, of the Everett smelter, and Moore of the Trail smelter, upon the question of ore rates. , With the exception of tbe Canadian smelters, and the Everett and San Francisco works, the combine had absorbed all the establishments in the west. The combine wants the Slocan mine owners to make no contracts at present, as they state better rates can be obtained later on. New rates were introduced this year by the C.P.R., making the charges $50 per car. on heaty lead ores, more than last year. Tbe com- the ore chute had widened out during the week to a foot. It is all of shipping grade and just i.s rich as any previously taken out Depth is being gained rapidly, increasing the stoping territory overhead. Ore is being taken out in a hurry, keeping the sorters busy to get it sacked up out of the way. The lessees will make a good stake out of their hold ing* Speculator Developments. W. Thomlinson, superintendent of the Speculator, was in town Saturday, straightening up the month's accounts with the business men. The heavy snowstorms have tilled up the road from the Speculator to the Arlington and some difficulty has been experienced in getting in supplies. At the mine everything is going smoothly. The shaft • from No. 1 tunnel is down 30 feet and the vein keeps widening, while there is every indication of a big chute of ore being near. Small values are carried throughout the ledge matter. In the No. 2 drifting has ceased for the present, as the air was getting bad. The drift is in 340 feet. A raise is now being made to the surface, about 75 feet. They are up 35 feet and rapid headway is being made. Two healthy stringers of ore have been encountered in the raise, giving high val- % W» The Old Red Flag of Britain. There is lot! of talk and rumor Of impending strife to b«, When tne old Ironsides of Britain Shall be driven from the tea. Wn hare heard tome Vila predictions, The result of pure ill will; But the old red flag of Britain: It is proudly waving still. AV* have lived Ihro'ontthe twelvemonth That is only just slecessod, To find tlie feses of Britain Have been trebly more increased. We have heard the curse that gathers On the Islood oar solsliers spill; But tlie old red flag of Britain; It is somehow floating still. The century sees it waving Where the people know its worth, For only Uncle Kruger Is an 'outcast on the earth. And the nations see it daunting O'er the famed Majulsa Hill; For the old red flag of Britain: It is proudly waving still. They are praising "Bobs Bahadur," For the tactics ot the war; They've given him an earldom, Which he's rightly fitted for. Men are speaking of his genius— None can ever doubt his skill— For he planned to set the old flag Where it's proudly waving still. Bo, all praise to gallant Roberts, And to Kitchener tlia same; And the host of other leaders That have crowned the list ot Fame. Let foemen scoff in anger, As, be sure, they always will; But, what matter if the old flag Be floating bravely still! Nor, yet alone to leaders, May Britain give her thanks, For well were they supported Bv tho men who swell the ranks. Ami, when Britain calls for solditrs, We have men to fill the bill, To help protect the old Hag, Aud keep it waving still. B. T. Anderson Lemon Creek. B.C. bine, Mr. Braden said, was anxious and willing to take the Slocan ore, but they cannot quote the same terms as forrhcrlv, owing to the C.P.K. charges. If they can get the latter to restore last year's figures, then everything would be smooth sailing. On the American side the combine has guaranteed the mines $4 per hundred for their lead for a year, which is a sharp advance. Tho Canadian owner cannot realize anywhere near that, owing to duty and other charges. Mr Braden stated that in East Kootenay the C.P.K. got $6 per ton on ore for a haul of 49 miles, while the Great Northern carried it 290 miles farther for only $3. Local smelters do not care for the heavy wet ores, but are anxious for the dry article, and quote a $9 rate to the Sovereign from Sandon. The North- port works are entering the field and sharply bidding for the siliclous ores in competition with Trail and Nelson. In the opinion of Beveral of the mine owners, the present situation is due to the C.P.K. and not the combine, and Jim Hill's competltien with the Great Northern is regarded as the solution of the difficulty. Ore Body Widened. Jack Aitchlson came down from the Bondholder, Sunday, and stated ues. Four crosscuts have been made in the various workings, bo as to keep in close touch with the walls of the ledge. Mr. Thomlinson predicts the Speculator making one of the biggest properties in the camp. Strike on the Phoenix. On Friday last the ledge was cut in the new workings on the Phoenix group, which is situated on the north side of Springer creek and about two miles from town. The ledge has been proven to hold its own well snd is standing true between the walla The paystreak is about two feet in width, being a quartz mixed with Iron pyrites It gives values approaching $70 in gold. The property has always given good assays and the group is favorably looked upon. By the strike, a good depth is gained on thc vein and considerable ore blocked out. Drifting has been carried on since, proving up tlie paystrcak In a satisfactory manner. T. S. Dunbar is manager of the property. George Hambly, formerly of this town, is in Spokane, undergoing treatment for un injured eve, a piece of steel having got in it while working in tho Madison mine, near Sandon. It will be two years before he fully recovers his sight. OUR ORE SHIPMENTS SUBSTANTIAL SHOWING MADE BT THIS DIVISION. Last Tear's Shipment* Were 3847 Tons— A Healthy Kvldence of the Life and Wealth of the Casssp— Arlln*r*oss the Biggest Shipper. Two additional shippers enter on the list this week, being the Enterprise and Blaok Prince. Tbo former sent out 20 tons to the Trail smelter, and has 40 tons more ready at the lakeshore. Twenty tons was shipped by the Black Prince, being the first sent out under the lease on tbat property. The Arlington exported 9G tons, to Nelson, so that the total shipments from the division amounted to 130 tons. The outlook in the camp is bright and a great feeling of confidence is apparent. Last year the exports from this division amounted to 2847 tons, made up from 10 properties. Following is a list ot the shipments this year to date: MINK. WJSBsT. TOTAfc. Arlington _.. 90 196 Enterprise 20 JM Two Friends 40 Black Prince 20 20 130 270 MINES AND MINING. The force on tbe Chapleau is being gradually increased. At the Bondholder, the men are being paid $3.50 per shift. J. F. Holden made an inspection of the Republic a few days ago. The Molly Gibson is supping a carload of ore a day to Nelson. A steady stream of enquiries keeps coming iii for likely properties in this division. A good start has been made bv the Hewett, Four Mile, it having shipper* 170 tons last week. Fifty men are employed at the Emily Edith, Four Mile. Shipments ' are to begin shortly. Work has ceased temporarily or the Ottawa, A deal is expected to be made for the property. The strike on the V it II continues to hold out, there being 26 inches of shipping ore in thc face ot the drift. Assays made on the ore taken from the new ledge encountered on the Chapleau, give values of $27.60, $70 and $80 in gold. Frank Sherry went to Nelson this week with a carload of ore from tho Black Prince. It was the first shipment made under his lease on that property. The returns from the two cars of ore shipped by the Two Friends to Nelson amounted to about $1850, which was considerably lower that* expected. As the returns were not received here till Monday, the owners are curious to know how the Tribune managed to publish them on Saturday morning. MININO RKCORDS. Appended is a complete list of the various records registered at the local registry office, IL P. Christie being mining recorder: LOCATIONS. Jan 7—Welba, near Cedar creek, D C Robertson. New Ore Body on Two Friends. On Thursday the workmen in the west drift on the Two Friends broke into eight inches of clean galena, iu grade being equal to any other chute cut on the property. An assay obtained Saturday from a streak of ore cut the other day gave 874 oz silver. It surprised the lessees, as the ore contained a large percentage of iron pyrites. To Come Up In May. The case of Cameron vs.Kirkwood, affecting the Eda and Bald Mountain fractions, on the Speculator hill, will not come up at the February sittings of thc supreme court at Nelson. It has been set to be heard In Mav. This is due to the attorney for tho plaintiff, W.A. Galliher, M.P., being absent on his sessional duties at Ottawa. _____ Census Date Filed.

It is generally understood that a reconstruction of tho provincial .cabinet will shortly tHke place. * • Coast Labor unions are moving fur jthe publication of school books at the government printing ottice, Victoria, rather than havo them printed in 'Toronto, as at present. Slocan can sympathize with Nelson in its struggle to keep out private corporation competition in its power nnd light privileges. Private mono- tpoly throttles the existence of any 'burg, and no town should permit its ^tyrannies to bo inflicted. By mutual agreement, the Great ."Northern and Northern Pacific mil- ways will reduce passenger rates in Montana and Idaho to three cents a ~*.alle. Were bucIi a step taken by jthe railways in this country, the people would never recover their nerves. No, sirreo, Canadian railway corporations would not be guilty of such atrocious magnanimity. Last year ihe United States coined $99,727,942 in gold and $36,295,321 in silver. Though gold predominates so largely, yet there is evidence in the figures given of n growing demand for silver coin. Takon in conjunction with the situation in Mexico, India and the far East, thc position ef silver is more hopeful than it has been in years, and the market prom }ses to be strong throughout 1901. Chris Foley's ability has been re cognized by the Ottawa government ,and he has secured Ralph Smith's .vacant position on the Chinese commission. It was a tactful appointment, wherein the Liberal party recognized tho growing influence of ''Labor in this province, Foley's; 'knowledge on the Chinese question is deep, his sympathies are well known, "and he can bo depended on to do his duty by his fellow-laborers. It is •hoped the government will not pigeon Jiole the commission's report, as was /lone with the Chapleau findings in 1884, but honestly endeavor to carry cat whatever suggestions might be made by the commissioners. Two restrictive measures upon the •immigration into this country of the heathen Chinee came into force with ,Ahe new year. One is from the Do- .minlon government and calls for the raising of tho head tnx from $.'>0 to $100. The other in the adoption by th* provincial authorities of what is Universally known as thu Natal Act, which compels an intending settles fo register his name, With place, business, and former place of residence in some one European language. .This act has worked well elsewhere and its operations arc designed to check the Jap us well as tho Chinaman. It is well worth a trial and deserves success. State, or public, ownership of franchises and utilities was looked upon » few years since as un invention of .the evil one and a doctrine that smacked of revolution and the bloody jUtig. Education has gradually disabused the minds of thc alarmists, until today public ownership is recognized as the cardinal principle of national life and existence, harmless, 'though socialistic and withal fraught with blessing to the people. A striking example of the growth in this feellnt* is the ardent advocacy by fianford Fleming of the nationalization ofthe telegraphs of the entire British empire. Ho has urged the Dominion government to adopt the idea, and few tbero arc who are jfound to condemn. Thc nationaliza- tion of the railways will, in time, bo* j coinn nn accompli;lied fact, just much so as i* our waterways i DRILL POINTS. The public school rc-opened this week.

Amendments to the Criminal Code Now in Effect. RAFFLES FOR PRIZES Whipping; ot Burglara—Possession of (iemblttnc Utenalla"Chl- » Bene Dens. Wak'- fll Vancover Province: There is in one of the several amendments .to the criminal code of Canada that became of force and effect on New Year's day, material for much discussion—and much sarcastic and contemptuous comment on the part of the unregenerate. This is the provision attached to the general law prohibitory oflottei- ies and similar enterprises, which provides that hereafter the ban of the law shall not be placed upon "raffles for prizes of small value at any bazaar held for any charitable or religious object, if permission to hold the same has been obtained from the city or other municipal council, or from the mayor, or reeve ol the municipality, wherein such bazaar is held and the articles, raffled for thereat.have first been offered for sale and none of them are of a value exceeding $50." Common Law The principle underlying a common law should unquestionably be general in its applicability, and it is therefore not quite clear how the above secures a place in the statute book of Canada, or why a raffle should be any less reprehensible or more permissible when the proceeds are to be applied toward advancing the prosperity of some religious or charitable body than when (as is often the case) designed to pull some poor chap, whose affairs have gone wrong, out of temporary difficulties. .Another provision disposes peremptorily of such concerns as that at Montreal which for years has operated under the mask of an "art union;" while still another aims to check the growth of theft where the stolen property has a special value as in the case of prized cattle, or dogs—the penalty heing increased where the worth of the stolen animal exceeds $20, .to a maximum fine of $50 over and above the value of the stolen animals, or two years' imprisonment, or both fine and imprisonment. The provision for the whipping of burglars apprehended with dangerous weapons in their possession has already been discussed in the province since its coming in force; and there are also among the newly effective provisions, sections with reference to the punishment of gambling that greatly enlarge the powers of the officers of the law. Prima facie Proof. For example, the possession of gambling utensils may now be held to be prima facie probf of guilty use. the amended law reading that; "When any cards, dice, balls, counters, tables or other instruments of gaming used in playing any unlawful game are found in any house, room or place suspected to be used as a common gaming house, and entered under a warrant or order issued under this act, or about the person of any of those who are found therein, it shall be prima facie evidence, on the trial of a prosecution under section 198 (or section 199), that such house, room or place is used as a common gaming house, and that the persons found in the room or place where such tables or instruments of gaming are found were playing therein, although no playing was actually going on in the presence of the . officer entering the same under such warrant or order, or in the presence of those persons by whom he is accompanied as aforesaid." Still another feature of the new ' enactments that ia decidedly interesting to any town where the Chinese are a factor in the population,where every den is liable at any time to be the object of a police raid, provides that it shall be accepted as prima facie evidence of guilt if, when a visit is paid to any premises suspected of being put to illegal uses. "Any constable or officer, authorized to enter any house, room or place, is wilfully prevented from, or obstructed or delayed in entering the same or any part thereof." Another new provision of the law puts a check upon evil disposed persons who plot the injury of industries carried on by those against whom they harbor ill will, they being now rendered liable to penalties ranging from $200 to $4000, together withjtwo years' imprisonment. HE 8TOLK TO PLAY CARDS Trying to Beat tbe World,Young man Landed In Jail. The belief that he could beat the world playing poker caused the downfall of J. J.Myers, an employe of the Southern Express at Charlotte, S. C. He learned to play cards last month and had such a run of luck that he determinsd to play on a large scale and make a fortune quickly. To get a suitable stake he held up a Southern Express package containing $600 in cash and a mumber of checks. After losing a few hundred in Charlotte he tried to break Columbia's gambling houses. In' three days all his cash was gone. He did not attempt to use the checks. Myers drank heavily and attempted to poison himself. He was arrested, HAZING FIsVTs VIC ANN AUO A Freshman's Letter Shows How It Wae Done at the Time Indicated. At the present time, when so much of public attention is being directed to hazing at college and in government academies, the following extract from a letter written over a half a century ago will be of interest. The writer was at that time a freshman of Yale, but was not at the college when inditing the epistle. He says: "I had a letter from the other day—they are having a great time at Vale plaguing the fresh, etc. That business is carried on to a great extent here. Many of the poor devils have been ducked under the windows a dozen times, etc., etc. The greatest sport is to break into their room at midnight (a whole party of sophs at a time) make the scart fellow get up, mount the table in his shirt sleeves, answer questions in geography, arithmetic, Latin, grammer, etc., (the simplest possible, so far as to be suited to a freshman's comprehension,) read a little Greek and then, what is the greatest trial, declaim. If he refuses to comply he receives a shower from his water pail until he submits. If he in swers well he is highly complimented and flattered and politely bid goodnight." HAS NOT CEDED THE RAILROAD Lord Salisbury Has No Power to Make Burb Transfer**' The foreign office at London, declares the report ot the cession of the New Chwang-Shanhaikuan railroad to Russia by Lord Salisbury, as announced by the Daily Chronicle, is unfounded. It points out that Great Britian has no power to cede it, as the railroad is Chinise property. Moreover it is stipulated that it shtll not be mortgaged to any foreign government, or company. There have been reports that Russian agents are endeavoring to buy out the British interests,but the British government is not connected therewith. Representations have been made to Russia in behalf of the English bondholders, as the action of the Russian officials is considered to have exceeded the military requirements, and the question of compensation will come up when the line is restored to its owners. A convention on this subject is now under discussion. The fuller blown the rose of pleasure the sooner its petals will fall. Socialism lu tbe liOtb Century. By M. Mii.i.ekand, Minister of Commerce, France, The Socialist movement is co extensive with the civilized world. It knows no national limits. Where civilization is high there collectivism is the strongest, The twentieth century will see it in full swing. It will not retrograde. The hands of the economic clock can never be moved back to feudalism. Socialism cannot remain stationery, for it is viital force. The only possible evolution for it is in an onward and upward course. Socialism works tor concoid and peace. It makes hearts generous and it gives us men of good will. The solidarity of the human race should be the aim of noble minds. Such solidarity enforces the sovereignty of right. Might is not right and never will be with the people. Solidarity of the race breaks the back of mere brute force. Men should not bend the knee to blind power. Solidarity promotes peace. What can be more noble than a festival of work and peace? Honorable peace is more glorious than the most brilliant war. The grave and the delicate questions of social economy are now all tempered by Socialism. Mechanism and invention are of use only in so tar as they improve the position of mankind. We measure the degree of a people's civilization not by mechanical improvements, but by the welfare of the men of toil. This is the highest and noblest standard of measurement. It is generally laid down that man is the arthitect of his own fortune, But society must let him have the leisure to work il. out. He must not be brutalized by a task beyond his strength. This applies to all nations and races. For sons of different races and citizens of different nationalities belong to the same family. The duty of all is to increase the common patrimony. The region of unknown toilers must not be forgotten. In the coming century the orpan- isms of iron and steel will continue more and more to replace flesh and bone, epidemics will be unknown, distance will further disappear. Science will keep on multiplying the means she puts at man's disposal, The great service it can render to man is to teach him the material and moral grandeur of union—of solidarity. Where Socialism holds sway the hatred born of uncultured brains disappears. It vanquishes misery to a large extent. Altruism is the sweetest of sentiments. Even personal interest justifies it. Men of all nations should foster societies for self help. Such associations group men together to resist individual weakness. Human solidarity will never stop at the frontier. It lessens the enequalities born of the social regime. It draws the world's children closer together. Promote it, and the time will come when these latter will know no strifes save the fruitful rivalries of peace and the splendid struggles of labor. Socialism will go on widening the ethical conception of political economy. It were worth one's while to study its influence upon economical and political thought. Co operation, the municipality, the state, will all be brought to aid Socialism. I should like to see the principles of association developed as much as possible. The time has gone by when men are frightened by mere words. The men in the twentietn century will be at least as brave as we are. They will not fear to have the Socialist slung at their heads. They will know that there is a noble and generous idea behind that word. The progress of socialism in the new century is insured by the triumph of democracy. In France, Germany, Denmark, Russia, Italy, Spain, England, everywhere in Europe I see it making gigantic strides. It has found a foothold in the far off Antipodes, and il has crossed the Atlantic to the great republic of the west, A triumphant democracy means a world-wide fraternity. The twentieth century will lead us fa toward that goal.—New York journal. THEV POCUHT POR LIBERTY East Al'rlcau Natlvea Bound For tbe Hhodeslaa Mines On the arrival of the German steamer Hertzog at Beira, Portugal, with 136 Abyssinians and Somalis for the Rhode«*ian mines, the "boys," as they are called, were informed by the firemen that they would be compelled to work in chains. Thereupon they refused to go ashore. Portuguese police and troops were summoned and a big fight ensued, the "boys" barricading the foredeck. Victory rested with the police after an hour's fighting. One Somali was killed and 36 wounded. Subsequently it was found there were only 50 "boys" on the steamer, the remainder having jumped overboard. Housing the Chinese Giant In twenty years Japan has increased her capital in factories sixty five times. She is now an exporting nation. In ten years from now China, forced to open her country to foreign capitalists, will follow the example of the Japanese and will be an exporting nation, and her teeming millions of cheap labor, will drive every other nation into the corner, and will force the labor of all other nations down to the level of their own wretched working classes. In that day the American and European working people will get the benefits they deserve for helping the piratical capitalist wrest the country from the control of the native people, by being forced to work on the level with the coolie. The industrial earth has made the mistake of its existence by arousing the labor force of the 400,000,000 Chinese to the powers of mechan ical production, liven the American capital being planted in the Philippine will have a tremendous effect on the labor of that country in the next few years. The Orient, instead of being a market for American and European goods, will be an exporter of gigantic proportions. And the earth will be starved because of that "over-production." And the workers, who have all power, remain as stupid to owning the land and machinery and shortening the hours of labor, and ought to starve as being unfit for association.—Ex. MAN YELLED FIRE HOAR OP A FRENCH CANADIAN Complains Tbat England Is Not Dolus the Pair Thins. La Verite, the recogonized organ of the ultra Catholic French Canadians, publishes a threatening article against English rule in Canada. The article says: "There is a limit to human patience. It is said that England will always rule Quebec. We say that she will govern Cjuebec just as long as the French Canadians wish her to and not an instant longer, and if the fanatics of Ontario and elsewhere were not blinded by passion they would comprehend it also. If the insults of which we have been made the constant object on the part of the English element of this country do not soon come to an end, and if they continue to reward our loyalty toward the English throne by covering us with injuries and flooding us with threats there will be an explosion of anger among the French Canadians which will astonish those who are accustomed to regard us as 'good sheep.' And what will be the inevitable result of a series of riots, of serious troubles between the French Canadians and English? The French Canadians have only to make a sign to Uncle Sam and in 15 days an army would occupy Quebec, Montreal and Toronto. We certainly do not hope to see these things, but they will come if the campaign of insult does not cease." In a Play House and an Awful Panic Ensued. SEVEN PEOPLE KILLED Four Children Thrown Over a Balcony By Parents and Trampled to Death. Seven persons were crushed to death and as many more seriously injured in a panic which followed a man's cry of "fire" late Saturday afternoon in the West Twelfth street Turner hall, Chicago. About 800 people were in the place, gathered to witness the performance of a play entitled "The Greenhorn." Converted Into a Mob. The play was Yiddish, and the audience, comprising for the most part women and children, were all Hebrews. The hall stands in a densely populated district. When the cry was raised it was only five seconds until the entire audience was converted into a frantic mob, every member of which was fighting for the safety which lay beyond the door of the building. As soon as the wild rush toward the doors began chairs were knocked down in every direction, the aisles disappeared and the excited people ran, climbed and stumbled over the chairs on the way to the doors. Children Trampled to Death. Around the upper part of the hall extends a balcony, which is open only at one end. Here were seated 100 women and children and the women at the further end trom the stairway, seeing that the rush toward the exit was blocked to them, began at once to throw the little ones over the railings to the floor 10 feet below. The children fell into the midst of the maddened throng and were at once trampled under foot. Three of the dead were children who were thrown from the balcony and trampled by the crowd, with no chance for their lives. Following the children many ofthe women sprang from the balcony into the crowd below and others swung over and hung by their hands before they dropped. The railing of the balcony was broken through in half a dozen places by the pressure brought against it by the maddened crowd. Scene On tho Slain Floor On the main floor the crush was much worse than in the balcony. The main exit from the hall and the only one known to a majority of those who frequent the place are two doors in the south end ot the auditorium that open on winding stairs, which eight steps down, unite into one broader flight leading to thc main door of the Twelfth street front. Around these two doors a frantic mass of 'screaming men, women and children was packed, all struggling fiercely to force their way down the stairs. To Pall Wae Death. At the landing where the two flights of stairs winding down from the main hall unite a man stumbled and fell. In an instance a score of people were down, and before the rush was over three lives had been crushed out in a space four feet wide and six feet long. Within five minutes after the beginning of the panic it was all over, and the police and fireman who came hurrying to the scene ot the disaster, were called upon to do nothing beyond carrying away the dead and wounded. Relatives Fought Oaaeera. Men and women fought desperately with the officers in their efforts to enter the building and learn if any ot their beloved ones were among the dead. The crowd was so great, so excited and so unmanageable that several calls were sent for additional officers and firemen before it could be restrained. The alarm of fire was false, there having been nd fire at any time. The building is some what defective and at times sparks pass up through the registers. It was the sight of these sparks rising into the .room that frightened the man who raised the cry of fire. The hall has several times been the scene of panics and it is only a few months since a number of children were hurt in a rush for the doors during a juvenile party given in the place. THE JAPS MUST GO. The Chronicle of Spokane is authority for the statement that !'Jim" Hill of the Great Northern railway has given orders that all Japanese employed on his railway must go as rapidly as white men can be got to take their places. The Japanese are employed, so it is said, through a contracting firm of Japanese at Seattle, at a rate ot one dollar a day, the firm paying the men ninety cents on the dollar. The firm also supplies the Japanese laborers with all their food supplies, which the railway carries free. The Japanese have worked their way to St. Paul, where a gang were put at work one day cleaning up Mr. Hill's private car. They made a mess of it, putting ice in the stove instead of in the water tanks. This displeased Mr. Hill, and the order tor the "Japs to go" was the consequence.—Tribune.

CAUSING AN EXCITEMENT CoacesBlon to Russia by the Chinese Cause* Much Speculation. ************************** BALKED OP ITS PREV. A Chinaman from Siann Fu, where the court is at present, says that within the city 85,000 Chinese troops are drilling continuously and the majority of them are armed with modern rifles. He says that the feeling of the people there is bitterly anti-foreign and that they believe that they can meet the allies in open fight and defeat them. The ministers are considerably astonished over the Chinese grant to Russia of a concession north of the Pei Ho at Tien Tsin. It is compared with the British and French concessions combined. The grant according to the Russians was made voluntarily for services in endeavoring to bring about peace. The ministers think that the concession constitutes good pay when considered in addition to the an nexation of all Manchuria. Li Hung Chang believes he will receive tomorrow a favorable answer regarding the signing of the agreement. Senor Cologan, the Spanish minister, thinks the negotiations will commence at Pekin and possibly end in Europe. M.

Miss Roth is employed at one of the large stores and was i^oing to her supper. When at a point nearly opposite the residence of Professor Evans of the high school she was met by Alexander, who seized her around the throat and bore her to the ground. In falling his fingers slipped from her throat long enough to enable her to give a cry for help. This cry was heard by Professor Evans, who responded, when the assailant left the girl and fled. A crowd had gathered, among them a young colored girl, who told who the assailant was. The police were notified and Officer McDonald sent out. When at Seventh and Cherokee streets the officer saw Alexander, and upon undertaking to arrest him the negro attempted to escape, but a blow from the officei's club reduced him to submission, when he was taken to the station. News ot the attempted assault spread like wildfire and in a few moments the streets around the station were filled with a mass of excited men, determined to lynch Alexander if he could be obtained. The police in the meantime spirited the man away, and when the doors were broken open no one was found. Alexander was taken out through an alleyway by the polii e, placed in a hack and driven to the Kansas state penitentiary. He will be kept there until the officers think it sale to bring him to the city. Miss Roth recognized her assailant and identified him to the officers. Alexander has been watched by the police lately, as he is the suspected murderer of Miss Pearl Forbes, who was assaulted and killed November 6, three blocks west of the scene of Saturday's attempt.

Once more the Butte district as a gold producer has come to the front. The richest streak of gold bearing ore ever uncovered in Montana, six inches wide, almost solid gold and assaying $100,ceo to the ton, was laid bare last week. The ground is in litigation and the matter will come up for leview before Judge Clancy. The claim lies south of Rocker, across Silver Bow creek, where so much gold was taken out 30 years ago by the I placer miners. A man by the name of Mertz located the land several years ago. Two months ago he made a proposition to a man named McDonald, that he would give him a half interest in the claim upon the condition that he would work it. McDonald agreed and went to work, sinking a shaft 26 teet. At this depth he ran into the rich ore. He notified Mertz and when the latter saw the rich discovery he flatly refused to give McDonald his half htrest. McDonald came to town and tied it up by an injunction.

In trying the rear door he received a slight scratch Irom a tailor's pin which had be«n placed there to keep the knob on the door. In the morning his left hand was swollen, and Dr. Ptskind, the family physician, was called in. The physcian diagnosed the case as blood poisoning, assuring Mr. Reinheimer that it was not serious. The hand continued ! to swell, and.three physicians had about concluded to amputate the hand, when he succumbed to a fit of fainting and expired. Strbe at Florence, Col., Assumes Ser lous Proportions. The people of Florence Col., are becoming alarmed over the situation of the Union Gold Extraction company's mill, where the employes are on strike for recognition of their union. Manager Milliken is willing to pay the anion scale of of wages, but has refused to receive a committee trom the mill and smeltet men's union, nor to discharge non-union employes. Preparations are being made to import Italian laborers and it is feared such action will result in rioting. A mass meeting of the coal miners working at Brookside, Coal Creek, Rockvale and Bear Gulch, where mines are operated by the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, ** has been called for Sunday afternoon to discuss the question of striking in sympathy with the miners who arc on strike in northern Colorado. A strike can probably be- avoided if the company agree not to ship its coal to the northern Colorado fields. IndlcaUons Reported From Around Troy. It is firmly believed around Troy, Idaho, that the oil and gas area is not confined to the limits ot Whitman county, Washington, but that it extends into Latah county as well, and if systematic exploration and scientific investigation in Whitman county should result in gas and petroleum being found in paying quantities there is little doubt but that results equally as gratifying will soon follow in this vicinity. For over a year J. D. Jolly of Vollmer Flouring mills in Troy has known that oil existed within the town limits, but every time Mr. Jolly suggested to his friends the idea of making an investigation they would laugh him out of it. Since strong indications of both oil and gas have been found within 50 miles of Troy, Mr. Jolly may yet have the last laugh. In the lower part of Troy, adjoining the bed of the creek which runs through the town, is a bog from | which an oily substance exudes, which floats on the water like ker- osen. Within a mile of Troy, up the same creek, there is a formation of slate or shale, near which are several small springs covered with an oily substance which is still further indication that petroleum may underlie this soil, and the oily substance to be seen in the lower part of the town, when not covered with snow, may be escaping between the strata. Mr. Jolly states also that the well at the mill, which is within 100 feet of where the oil has been so plentifully, has frequently been covered with oil, as if coal oil had been poured into the well. As soon as the snow goes off in the spring,if not before, experiments will be made where the strongest indications of oil and gas exist. Cigarette Smoker Had Hla Fortuno Told by tbe Girl He Adored. He was out walking with a young lady who had a decided antipathy to cigarettes, but not being aware of her prejudice he lighted one of the little rolls and began smoking with great gusto, inhailing the fumes deep into his lungs and then blowing great rings up at the moon, which gazed tranquilly down on his folly, says the Memphia Scimitar. Offended by his presumption, she said with dangerous urbanity: "Do you know I can read fortunes in cigarette smoke?" "Indeed!" exclaimed the unsuspecting youth. "Perhaps you'll condescend to read mine?" "Oh, certainly if you wish it." Then she gazed up into the air at the delicate blue wreaths of smoke. She hesitated, evidently puzzled about something. "I am undecided which of the two things is to befall," she admitted; "your fortune is not so easily read as I fancied it would be." •'What are the two thing?" "Why.l can't determine whether you are marked out for lung disease or lunacy," was the answer. "Cigarettes have such diverse effect on people of your temperament." A moment later the cigarette lay glimmering in the gutter and the fortune teller was listening to her escort's embarrassed apologies. Certain to Causse Itlssurd DJ The first day's discussion of the bill to establish a department of public instruction at Manila, developed a contest on the question of religion in public schools. The interest centers in the section permitting priests and ministers to teach religion for half an hour three times weekly outside of school hours provided the parents express a written desire for such instruction, and prohibiting teachers from conducting religious exercises or teaching religion. The Federal party was represented by a committee, who, although Catholics, argued trongly in favor of the elimination of tha section. They declared that the use of school houses for religious purposes is contrary to the I'uited States constitution, and also to the platforms of the Amercian parties and the Philippine Federal party, and is certain to cause discord. It may not be generally known, but it appears to be a fact that Denmark is the best organized country in the world. Recent statistics show that 76.7 percent of the women are trade unionists. Allen C. Doucette of Cambridge Mass., centre for the Harvard university footb all team, died at his home is Cambridge last night of typhoid fever, age 28. The New Dam ou Murphy Creek Preliminary steps have been taken to construct a big dam on Murphy creek, about three miles from its mouth. Last Monday three pack animals left the Trail stables loaded to the poop deck w ith grub, etc., for the camp, this simply being the first installment. The work is being done by the smelter people, Geo. F. Mortin being in charge of the work. The first thing is to build a cabin to house the men, as the snow is deep up there and the nights cold. A dam will be thrown across the gulch at least 130 feet wide. The intention is to bring the waters of Murphy creek for use at the smelter. With the enlargement of the capacity of the smelter the necessity for a greater water supply is apparent. The work will be pushed with vigor.—News. ;|1 ' ;■■'"*» . > 1 '. ■ J TIME CARD OF TRAINS.

Saturday, respecting tbo incorporation of small burgs. The existing Municipalities Act in British Columbia does not exactly cover the ground and a modification should be made, more on the lines of the Ontario law. Small places should be given tbe right to -incorporate as a village, with certain powers to raise funds, beyond the regular revenues, for public improvements; then permit of the advancement, with enlarged authority, into towns and cities, as growth and pro ■gross are made. At present a small place is simply the recipient of chai* flty at the hands of the government, and the yearly revenues derived /rom licenses and taxes are so much /dead loss.

Editor Drill: Sir,—During the past 12 years, samples of those varieties of grain, etc, which have succeeded best on the several experimental farms have been distributed on application in 8- Ib bags, free through the mall, to farmers in all parts of the Dominion. The object In view in this distribution hiisj been to add to tho productiveness and improve the quality of these Important agricultural products throughout the country, by placing within reach of every farmer, pure seed ofthe most vigorous and productive sorts. This work has met with much appreciation, and a large measure of success. Under the direction of the Hon. Minister of Agriculture another distribution will be made this season. Owing to the very large number of applications annually received, it is not practicable to send more than one sample to each applicant—hence, if an individual receives a sample of oats, he cannot receive one of bark y, wheat or potatoes, and applications for more than one sample for one household cannot be entertained. These samples will be sent only to those who apply personally, lists of names from societies or individuals cannot be entertained. The distribution will consist as heretofore of samples of oats, spring wheat,barley, field pease, Indian corn and potatoes. Applications should be addressed to the director of experimental farms, Ottawa, and may be sent any time before March 1st, after which date the lists will be closed, so that the samples asked for may lie all sent out in good time for sowing. Parties writing will please mention the sort of sample thev prefer, naming two or three different varieties of their choice. Should the available stocks of all the varieties named be exhausted, some other good sort will be sent Instead. The samples of grain will be sent early, but potatoes cannot be distributed until danger ot injury In transit by frost is over. No provision has been made for any general distribution ot any other seeds than those named. Letters may be sent to the experimental farm free of postage. WM. SAUNDERS, Director Experimental Farms.
