HtXOM^Cny action on the part of the Trades and Labor Council. It is uot strange that labor men should look with suspicion upon Hon. Joseph Martin. There is nothing in his Manitoba record to warrant labor men in giving him their support and confidence. . Since coming to this Province every important movement on his part tins been in thc direction of sacrificing the interests of labor to satisfy his own ambitions and to gratify his thirst for vengeance. As this is the most important election ever fought in British Columbia, and'as it is of the utmost importance that no body of men should be placed in a false position by interested parties, we propose to relate certain incidents in Mr. Martin's British Columbia career to show that Martin has no more consideration for labor men than he has for his principles or political friends. He is ready to sacrifice everything and everybody in his own selfish interests. During last session Mr. Martin sold .himself and-his avowed principles to James Dunsmuir in order, to accomplish the defeat of the Semlin government. This coii_bi-iati6\"_i had its blighting influence on different sections of the country. Thc redistribution bill was defeated, and Boundary district remained \" disfranchised. .. Dunsmuir wanted his pound of flesh, and Martin -voted against the Coal Mines' Regulation Act. The intelligent coal miners of Nanaimo were justly indignant that one who was elected' as the champion of their rights should sacrifice them in order that his thirst for vengeance might be satisfied. Martin, with that brazen effrontery for which he is noted, went to Nanaimo to bluff the 1,200 intelligent miners who worked for the New Vancouver Coal company into believing that his sale of himself to Dunsmuir was in the public interest. He ran-up against the wrong, men. The ininers of Nanaimo gave Mr. Martin the worst reception a public man ever received. He was hooted and finally hustled off the platform. Martin never forgets nor forgives, and he lost no time in concocting a scheme that would give him hisrevenge. He --applied^to..the__c.o_urts^tp_secij^^anJi> junction to restrain the New Vau- 7 couver Coal company from working its mines. Had the courts acted upan his advice this injunction would have been granted and 1,200 meu thrown out of employment for an indefinite time. That there may be uo doubts regarding the statement that Martin was prepared to enforce so hellish a device to get his revenge on men whose only crime was that the}' showed their disapproval of his action, a section of the injunction applied for is given below : \"For an injunction to restrain defendants from mining for, raising, getting or winning any coal, coal substances or other substances upon or from said land under said portion of the sea and upon or from said forshore until the trial or other determination of this action.\" There is nothing indefinite aboul this injunction if granted. The New Vancouver Coal company would have had to close ..down its mine and over l,2oO men depending upon the company for their daily bread would have been thrown out of employment. Under the circumstances, it cannot be wondered at that the miners of Nanaimo hate Joe Martin and fear to en trust him with power. It is not surprising that they have issued au urgeutjappeal to thc miners of Kootenay to assist them in crushing the ' man who showed them no mercy and who was prepared to take their means of subsistence. The miners of Kootena}' aud Boundary should read this appeal and then ask themselves if it is not more consistent with the principles of unionism to help their fellow workmen than following the dictate*, of designing politicians. Mr. Hawthornwaitc of Nanai mo has placed the issue clearly before the labor men of Kootenay Speaking at Nelson he closed a powerful arraignment of Martin by stating that \"the working miners of Nanaime feared thai if returned to power Joseph Martin would gratify his lust for vengeance ; that if he was successful he would close the collieries of the New Vancouver Coal company. Therefore the working miners' of Nanaimo appealed to the miners and union men of Nelson and Kootenay to stand by them in such a crisis. They appealed to the miners especially because they were men who themselves daily faced a common danger arid death, men whose kinship in danger should cause them to lend a willing ear to such an appeal. The miners of Nanaimo appealed to the miners of Kootenay in the hour of their present trial, to stand by them in their fight for their homes und their daily bread, and see to it that by no action of theirs did Hon. Joseph Martin or any of his political tricksters have it in their power to wreck their homes and their means of livelihood.\" \"UNMANLY TACTICS.\" Mr. Smith Curtis has for some time posed as au honest and upright believer in fair play. At various meetings throughout the Rossland riding he has declared that under no circumstances would he indulge in personalities, and would stand or fall by the Martinite platform. What do we find? At a meeting in Columbia on Friday night last he stated that \" Ex-Governor Mackintosh was the servant of the Dunsmuirs and the C. P. R.\" Of course, his opponent was not present; but Mr. Curtis knows as well as the electors know that Mr. Mackintosh has over and over again publicly repudiated this assertion; that he stated he had never had a conference with Mr. Dunsmuir; that he did not approve of Mr. Dunsmuir's policy of employing Chinese or other Asiatic labor; that he had uo connection, directly or indirectly, with the C. P. R.; that he was a candidate in the interests of the Kootenay country, and he would stand or fall by that pledge. What could be meaner than this policy of detraction? What could more thoroughly prove that Mr. Curtis is a beaten man? Over and over again, in the presence of Mr. Smith Curtis, the ex-governor has proven by documentary evidence that the slanders directed at him had no foundation whatever. To refer to another subject: At Grand Forks on Saturday night last the Martinite candidate was accompanied by one R- A. Brown, the partner of Messrs. Martin and Curtis in a property known as the Sunset iu the Similkameen district. He (Mr. Smith Curtis) introduced the Sunset question as a factor in this campaign; and upon written evidence being produced, signed by Mr. Brown, show'ng that Mr. Curtis and Mr. Martin were his partners, he (Brown) said he did not remember signing such a document. It so happens, however, that the ex-governor has the original letter in his possession, and Mr. Curtis did not deny it when he met him face to face. More than this : Mr. Mackin tosh showed at several public meetings that Mr. Smith Curtis had telephoned from Grand Forks to the Bank of Montreal at Rossland several days before the payment on the Sunset fell due-askii_g-\\vhether^Qr_=not^the_money_ was in the bank, and received the reply that so soon as the deeds were sent to the bank the money would be paid over. Again Mr. Mackintosh established the fact by producing a. letter from Mr. Brown that that person had written to him on the 15th of September, 1899, telling him that he was perfectly willing that the deal should be considered off. After all, however, circumstances go to show that Martinism is dying hard. Nevertheless, why should a man who aspires to represent a large constituency like that of Rossland riding descend to so low a depth as to endeavor to besmirch a man who has met him in a candid, open, honest and manly fashion on every occasion possible? Yet', there are some of the electors who imagine they can vote for Mr. Smith Curtis a without endorsing the Hon. Joseph Martin. could be obtained if necessary, as well as a further intimation that the programme of . promises is not yet exhausted. The finishing touch is as follows : \" We have the opposition on the run and indications at present are that the government will carry at least twenty-five seats.\" This, of itself, is a proof that Mr. Yerex is a colossal fabrication, not to use what might reasonably be used, a much stronger expression. Mr.- Yerex is evidently a past master in the art of deception, but even then there is no reason why he should desecrate the Sabbath in the interests of Martinism. He puts the finishing touch to Martinism. In the first -place, living at the coast as he does, he must know that Martinism is already spewed out of the mouth of all honest electors in British Columbia, nnd Mr. Smith Curtis, the Martinite candidate in the Rossland.riding, must assume responsibility for this infamous document. He (Mr. Smith Curtis) has pledged his word that Hon. Joseph Martin is the paragon of perfection socially and politically. In the second place, he has expressed himself willing to accept responsibility for the government's actions, and those who think can readily make up their minds as to the character of the man now seeking to control the destinies of this province. Here- we find a circular, proved by the envelopes to have been printed a week :;g.-x, dated ahead, and Sunday declared the day of publication so far as the electors are concerned. It is im necessary to comment at length upon these disgraceful tactics, and th.i. only goes to proclaim, trumpet-longued, that if Hon. Joseph l.I.irti.i should by any chance be sustained in ollict-, the interests of British Columbia will at all times be in jeopardy, If any elector h-js up to tho prose nt time been in doubt, we thiiu- Hi is sham-1'ul effort to mislead and misrepresent should be sufficient to suggest the candidate he should mark his ballot for. We do not doubt the electors of Rossland riding will arrive at at an enlightened as well as a significant conclusion. success they must be under one management and control and'entirely free from competition. For the Provinces to undertake to build railways and operate them, even if they had the resources, would be suicidal, because railways now depend on through lines of communication. Local lines for local traffic cannot be made to pay, more especially in this country with sparse population, long distances and expensive.g rades. The Times believes, as a theory, iu State-owned railways; but first of all the Dominion must acquire the C, P-.'.R. and the Grand Trunk lines, and all other railways built thereafter would have to be tributary to, and part of, the system. Whether under the circumstances it would be wise for Canada to assume such a responsibility is a matter not to be discussed here; but obviously a railway run in oppssitiou to private lines without connections and without being part of a. general system would be an absurd proposal. Ultimately such a railway would either be acquired by one of the existing corporations, as the Red River Valley was in Manitoba, or remain an incubus on the Province. THE NOMINATIONS. SMEL-TER RATES. A copy of _ circular letter which was sent out to the owi:.,'-:. <>f silver- lead mines in British Cu ,:i ...>... came to our notice this week. It p< .ii.t<���' '��� out the advantages to mine-'..w.i���..-_. ./uder A SABBATH CIRCULAR. There is no better method of testing the honesty and sincerity of public men than that furnished by their own actions when 'driven into a corner. This is significantly illustrated by a circular which has been sent by mail to hundreds of electors throughout the Rossland riding and signed by J. A. Yerex, chairman of the provincial government campaign. It is dated Vancouver, May 27th, 1900, the postal date on the envelopes being 23rd and 24th of May. It will be observed that the 27th of May was-a Sunday.and this date was no doubt adopted to strengthen the nefarious object the writer had in view, which was to show that it was only published after nomination day, and it is on a par with the rest of the Martinite campaign. One paragraph says : \" I desire to know all your requirements and assure you they shall be met as soon as possible.\" This of course is au intimation that money MARTIN'S- CHARGES. As time goes on the evidence of double dealing on the part of Hon. Joseph Martin and of sudden changes of policy are accumulating in an extraordinary fashion. One of the most remarkable instances of duplicity was exposed by Mr. Hawthomthwaite at Nelson the other evening. Mr. Hawthomthwaite is secretary of the New Vancouver Coal company, Nanaimo, and the report of his speech as pub- lished in the Nelson Tribune, is bristling with charges. As we know, Mr. Martin, ever since he was dismissed f rorn tfog ��emlin government, has been waging war a.ga.flsj the New Vancouver Coal company g.f)4��ngeayored to make a great deal of capital qhj: of the fact that the late government had issued a crown grant to that company of certain coal lauds under the sea, Mr. Martin even went to the length of taking action to recover these lands. On every platform he has denounced the late government for .the transaction. His sincerity may be judged by the following extract from Mr. Hawthomthwaite' speech in question : A delegate had been sent over from New Westminster to see if some compromise could be arranged with the Nanaimo party. An effort had been _made_by the Martinites_to^ring Mi. Brown into line. He was offerecTa. seat in the cabinet, and finally intimated that he would accept a portfolio under two conditions. The first of these was that Ralph Smith, the labor leader, should also receive a portfolio in the cabinet, and the second was that Martin should discontinue his action against the New Vancouver Coal company. The delegate, George, Kennedy, an estimable man and good Liberal, assured us in caucus in Nanaimo. that Mr. Martin had agreed to both of these conditions, and awaited our decision. Replying for the New Vancouver Coal company, of which I am an employee, I stated that the company had received nothing from the Semlin government to which it was not entitled, and wanted no compromise, because if it were in the power of any politician, who temporarily seized the reins of government in this province, to upset their title and close down their mines, they might just as well know it now as in years to come. The miners present at that caucus said emphatically that they would not accept any favor from the common enemy, and to the everlasting credit of Ralph Smith, be~it said, that he also spurned the tempting bait hung out to catch him, and stated that he could not support a man like Joseph Martin, or receive benefits from him. (Cheers.) GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. Apart altogether from the merits of the State-ownership of railways and other public franchises, the proposal that the Province should build and operate lines of railway is entirely impracticable. As we pointed out in a recent editorial, the position taken by the Rev. Mr. Vail in his book on the subject is the only consistent and logical one. In order that railways owned by the government may be a the present system of pur ..is;, lead ores adopted by the Tim L' ...iiell. t* ..onus/ months ago.

Under the old sysU..n _._.y rc.^.vw '.iie New York quotation for yo per cent ol lead contents, less a duty of iy_.oei.ts per pound, or ijiUO per ton, on 100 per cent of the lead contents, : On May 17th, for instance, the New- York lead quotations for smelters were $3.80 per hundred, while Loudon quotations ou the same day were ,��16 17s 6s, or figuring it out it really amounts to the fact that under the present system miners shipping * 50 per cent ore are now receiving $7.38 per ton more for the lead than was the case under thc old system. This change was made possible by the action of the Dominion government in allowing Canadian pig lead ���which had been sent to the States to be refined to be readmitted to Canada free of duty,���Trail News. How the Different Parties Stood on Nomination '' ��� Day. ���;' The.nominations made oil.Saturday are now pretty generally known. They show a bewildering mix-up. Those papers who have published a tabulated list of the nominees find it necessary to use six columns to designate the politics of the different candidates. There are Martiuites, Provincial party, Turnerites, Conservatives, Independent Labor and Independents.' So far as known the government have 32candidates in the Held out of a possible 38. The Provincial party have 15, Turner has 17, straight Conservatives 18, Independent Labor 4 and independents 5. There nro no less than .19 Lihernls running opposed to Martin. Many of the Martin -candidates-are running for appearances and have no possible chance of election. From the Coast word comes tlnil: not more than six Martin eanrtk1.it>.-- will be elected, and it is quite possible' that he and his party will be completely wiped out. BODWELL WILL PROBABLY SPEAK Tlie Talented Barrister to Address a Public Meeting in Greenwood. E. V. Boa., ell. Q. C., of Victoria, will probably addre..:; a public, meeting in the city. Mr. Bodwell is one of the recognized leaders i. f the Liberals in this province. ��� Ile i--one of the ablest speakers on tin; const, and should he find time to address a meeting.here he ubwill dotle.-..!- draw a large crowd.. Mr. Bodwell, like all sensible Liberals, is opposed to \"Martin. At the outset of the'campaign; he made - his' position clear in the following words: \"Mr. Martin's political and public acts in the past have very seriously, affected the progress awl reputation of the province, He has been called to ofliee at the present juncture by a misuse of the power-which, under our constitution, is placed in the hands of the lieutenant-governor. I have, uo faith in Mr. M'vrtiu as a political leader. I am opposed to the principal planks in the platform wliich Iw. has presented to the people, and 1 believe that the con- tinuauce of him and his government in power will be a constant menace to the public and material welfare of British Columbia.\" \"ALAS! POOR YEREX!\" Great amusement is afforded the electors throughout the country by the reception of a circular signed \" J. A. Yerex^chaipman of the provincial government -campaign.'''' dated the 27th of Mg.y (��uj!day),: tj-je. e17yejpp.es bearing the po��ta.l fjate Qi 23rcl of .May, in which it lis stated tUiit \".carnpaigii literature\" is about to be circulated and asking for information regat-dirig each district. The circular concludes : \" We have the opposition ou the kun gnd indications at present are thai the govern njet). will carry at lea,st '_*wknty- VXVH SEATS.\" It is generally conceded that no more barefaced attempt hat- ever been made to mislead and deceive the electors.'.. The date of the 27th is one day after the 'offlcial-noiuiiiatioiT and the manifest design is apparent to all. The circular was printed at least a week before the 27th, as is proved by the postal date of various envelopes. It is conceded that this trickery' will injure rather than aid the Martiuites, and proves conclusively that they are driven to subterfuge and dishonesty in order to bolster a lost cause. Only Joe Martin could devise a scheme of this nature ; it is worthy of his statesmanship and illustrative of the methods by which he hopes to control the unfortunate province upon which he has already brought disaster. WHiivK Premier Martin and his lieutenants are abusing Ralph Smith, as the creatures of. the New Vancouver Coal company, the labor leader contents himself with furnishing the reason, It appears that Premier Joe desired to strengthen his cabinet by the addition of Ralph Smith. He wanted Smith so badly that he offered to throw out two of his incapable ministers and make radical changes in his celebrated policy. But Ralph Smith has no confidence in Martin, and refused to sell his influence for personal aggrandisement. This is something which Premier Martin cannot understand, but since he could not purchase Smith's influence he desires to weaken it.���Nelson Tribune.

Mclnnes and will endeavor to defeat him in North Nanaimo. They claim that he is responsible for Hon. J-. S. Yates running in Nanaimo city against Ralph Smith, labor leader. Mr. Smith held a big meeting in Nanaimo Saturday, when Mclnnes was formally denounced. In the course of his speech Smith said that George Kennedy came over from New Westminster and asked him to enter the Martin cabinet, saying that if he would do so J. C. Brown .of New Westminster would also; enter the cabinet, and Cory S. Ryder and George Washington Bev.be would be relegated to inocuous desuetude. Mr. Smith asked Mr. Kennedy to make that proposition to a committee of fifteen of his friends. To this Mr. Kennedy assented and the committee were called together to listen to the proposition. A further condition of Smith's enter- ng the cabinet was that suit against the New Vancouver Coal company was to be dropped, although Mr. Brown had since written to Mr. Smith to say thBt Mr, Kennedy had rather exceeded hi�� authority in making this proposition.

THE CITY COUNCIL Holds Last of a Series Meetings at Eholt. of A SUCGESSFTL MEETING Favorafcly Received in All Parts the District���Governor Left for Rossland Today. of FROM SOUTH AFRICA. _*���- Lieutenant H. Ft. Eliott Sends an Interesting Letter From Bloemfontein. The Times has iust received an interesting letter from Lieutenant H. R. Eliott, who, at the time of writing, was with his regiment, \" The Buffs,\" at Bloemfo_?_.ein.�� He also sent, a copy of The Friend, a newspaper published by the war correspondents with the British army. Mr. Elliott says in part: BmhJmfontbin, April 14.���Am sending you a paper which may amuse you and which is rather unique in its way, as it is really published only for the troops here, but has about the largest circulation of any paper in South Africa. There was a Free State paper called the T>aily Friend, and when the troops catoe jnto ]Bio'em*fontein the i^iljtapy authorities decided to start a paper called -J-tye ip-rjeiid, \\n wftich all pppglamat. ons* ^re madp known in yutch afl47E.ngl.sh, juj4 ip fact it is almost the official organ Qf the troops. Tlje paper has only been started about a month, and when the war is over in all probability it will cease to be published and consequently. curio hunters are offering as much as $25 for a dom- plete set of papers from the com mence- ,ment.^I=wUl^send__.you���__iore___copies when I think of it and as long as I am here in Bloemfontein. I think South Africa is a rotten country and except for the climate there is nothing to recommend it, as it seems tp be just a wilderness of dust. I have not seen a decent farm or a mine yet, but they say that it is a better country farther north. Certainly the Orange Free State is better than Cape Colony, as there is some grass and a few trees. I hope the Transvaal will be an improvement in the same ratio. Bloemfontein. for the capital of a republic, takes the cake, as there are only about three buildings of any note, the best being brick houses -with tin roofs. From what I can see South Africa cannot be compared to British Columbia, and if it was not for the mining in certain districts I don't see what would induce people to go out, except for their health. I won't mind when I get back to British Columbia, as I believe it is as good a country as one will find anywhere. I think that our division, after such hard marching, and fighting last month, and taking Cronje, will remain here*to get thc Boers to collect around and some other division will try and c.it them off. This is an awful country for thunder-storms, and as we have no tents we get soaked every time, which is very trying, as few have any change of clothing. The number of deaths from enteric fever is awful, and the cause is not difficult to find, as the men on the march get so thirsty (I never knew what thirst was before) that they will drink any kind of water, often from streams and pools full of rotting carcasses of cattle and dead bodies of human beings, and always like pea soup made out of mud. I think that everybody has had enough of the war, and I think that if we once cross the Vaal river and get Hell Its Regular Meeting Last Night-Business Transacted. Mayor Hardy presided at last night's meeting of the city council. The following communications were dealt with: W. C. Tilsey asked the council to enforce By-law 28, re plumbers doing business in Greenwood without a plumber's certificate; this matter was left over until next meeting. W. M. Brewer, Provincial manager for the Engineering and Mining Journal, wrote giving rates for advertising the mineral resources of Greenwood; resolved that this communication be referred to the board of trade. The Greenwood Dramatic company stated that they were unable to give a concert in aid of the Sandon sufferers on account of Mr. Mil lis leaving town; clerk instructed to thank them for offer. Percy F. Woodruff made application for situation^ as care-taker of cemetery farm; his application referred to cemetery committee. The following accounts were ordered paid: F. J, Mitchell, $40; T. B. Win- nett, $50 75; The Greenwood Times, $5; Greenwood Miner, $li; Smith Bros. & Travis, $20 78; D. D.Hardy, $37 90; Cunningham & Anderson, $1 80. It was decided that a certified copy of the evidence given in Rossland in connection with suit of Rendell vsl City of Greenwood, together with Justice Martin's decision in the case, be placed before the council? . Aldermen Galloway, Sharpe and Bannerman were appointed a special committee to interview Mr. Bodwell ori matters relating to Rendell vs. City, and on question of aliens voting in Anaconda on annexation. Mr. Bodwell will be in the city next week. Alderman; Sharpe gave notice that at next meeting he would introduce a fey-law to carry out arbitration committee's report on the Greenwood Trading company's claim and that said committee consult city solicitor.

C. will commence ^stopF ing ore in about ten days, and then will probably ship 200 tons per day to the Trail smelter. The Mother Lode is preparing to stope from the 300-foot level and expect to have their smelter completed by the end of October. On the R- Bell work will be resumed next week under the management of Jack Hanley. The Great Hopes, start work on the first of June. This was one of the first propei- ties located in Greenwood district. Some years ago an arasta was worked on it3 ore, but the free-milling ore gave out a few feet from the surface and changed to a sulphide. Larson & Greenough paid $12,000 cash, which was the biggest price paid for a property up to that time, 1893. F. H. Oliver is looking after the property in conjunction with his work on the Greyhound, an adjoining property. The Recordia Syndicate properties will resume work in the early part of July. This property is owned by a syndicate in London, The Sunset, in Deadwood camp, crosscut the ledge on the 300-foot level a few days ago. The extent of the showing is not known. Work on the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling company's properties will be resumed some time in June, shortly after the arrival of Lionel W. Harris, of London, who is a director of the London and Canada Syndicate, which is the parent corporation of the Boundary Creek Mining and Milling company. The ore from the property of this company is the richest yet found in the Boundary creek country, shipments to the Trail smelter last winter having netted about $150 to the ton, the values being largely in silver. Governor Mackidtosh left this afternoon for Rossland, after a week's stay in the Boundary country, during which time he visited the principal points |in the district. His reception was everywhere favorable and he returns highly pleased with the prospects of election, which, though never uncertain, have baen greatly improved' by his personal canvass and addresses to the_ electors. Mr. Mackintosh came here almost a perfect stranger, except by reputation, to nine-tenths bf the people. He went away the warm friend of all those with whom he came in contact. Before his arrival all kinds of stories had been circulated about him. .The impression left by such political gossip has been very largely, if not wholly, dispelled. In ; particular he was represented as a corporation man and an ehehjy of labor. His speeches and the publication of his record as a public man have turned very many who were at first prejudiced against him on account of the stories referred to, in his favor, and in Boundarp, aa in Trail district, Governor Mackintosh will have a large percentage of the laboring vote on the 9th of June. Mr. Marl in, as an alleged friend of labor, has been thoroughly exposed and while some still cling to Mr. Curtis for Mr.. Curtis' sake, he cannot, handicapped as he is in the race as a follower of the present premier,pledged to support or standing or falling with him at the p oils, expect to win. Mr. Mackintosh is an experienced parliamentarian and will bring much weight to whatever administration he may be allied with and his own interest in the success of the mining industry is the surest guarantee we have of the faithful advocacy of our interests. Hon. Mr. Mackintosh \"closed his series of Boundary meetings at Eholt on Saturday night. There were present over 100 residents of the town and surrounding camps. G. Arthur Rendell occupied the chair. After a few introductory remarks he called on Hon. Mr. Mackintosh to address the meeting. In an interesting address, last-. ing one hour, He placed his views clearly before those present. He effectively answered all the campaign slanders that have been uttered against him. He showed conclusively that he was always a champion of the labor interests and was never opposed to the eight-hour law. He dealt with the specious arguments of Ijis opponents and c'osed a convincing speech by urging the electors to use their influence in securing a sound and stable government for the Province. As there was no one present in Mr. Curtis' behalf, the chairman called on Duncan Ross, who dealt with Martin's record. He \"showed that Martin had violated his pre-election pledges, had sacrificed his political friends in his own interest, and,that no matter howsound^the-policypromulgatedby- hiin .bight be, absolutely no confidence could be placed in him or in his intentions to honestly carry out the preelection promises which he now makes. M. Tebo briefly addressed the electors, giving them some sound advice in reference to their duty in this campaign. Three cheers for Mackintosh and the Queen brought a- quiet and orderly meeting to a successful close. On tlie Columbia and Western���Close Connection With S. F. & N. Beginning about June,1st a change will be made in the running time on the Columbia and Western railway. Trains will arrive in Greenwood about 11 o'clock at night and will leave here at 11 o'clock in the morning*. Arrangements have been made with the Spokane Falls and Northern whereby passengers from the Boundary can make direct connection with Spokane. F. S. Forrest, superintendent of the Spokane Falls and /Northern,- announces tlie change in his line as follows : \"We intend to begin running anight train with a sleeper from Rossland about June 3rd. It will arrive at Rossland about 7:30 or-8 a. m.'-and will leave Rossland about 11 p.m. This will be iu addition to the present train running each way, and will give a double service. The new train will enable passengers from Rossland, as well as'thbse from the \"Boundary coun tiy and Republic, to go either east or west over our line without loss of time and to travel at night in com foi t, instead of losing a night on the journey.\" A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. A Broken Wagon Spring Causes Four Occu- y pants to Be Thrown Out. A \"party composed of Mrs. Jack Parks-Mrs. Fry, Bert Mclntyre and Sam Waters, met with .a serious accident while driving in from Deadwood camp early Saturday evening. Just as the wagon was crossing the railroad track on the [suielter ground, a spring broke, causing -the occupants to be thrown violently to the ground. Mrs. Parks and Mrs. Fry were taken to the hospital where an examination of their injuries was made. Mrs. Parks was found to have her collar bone broken and Mrs. Fry two ribs. Bert Mclntyre escaped with several severe bruises and.a scalp wound, and Sam Waters had a sprained ankle. The two gentlemen were taken to their .rooms. This morning it -was ascertained that al; were doing well. '. Certificate of Improvements. NOTICE. Au Thbre, Svb M.

The Curtis meeting simply became a Mackintosh demonstration. The large audience gave Mr. Curtis a patient hearing throughout his weary discourse. Mayor Goodeve of Rossland followed. His reply was brilliant, logical and convincing, As he demolished the flimsy arguments of Mr. Curtis and exposed the insidious methods of Martinism, the entire audience burst into cheers. Mr. Curtis seemed to appreciate his position very keenly. He paraded the Mongolian spectre, delivered a panegyric on Hon. Joseph Martin and declared for state-owned railways. The minister of mines did not disclose the methods by which the Martin government propose to raise the 520,000,000 required to carry out its pet projects. Mr. Curtis absurdly declared that Mr. Martin would make the C. P. R. a state railway within five years.

Boer Official-: Appointed to Receive the Britisli--The War Is Practically Over. tended to overrule the injunction aal.ed for by himself and allow the mines to be worked in opposition to the mandate of the courts. Mr. Curtis all through the campaign has maintained that statements to ordinary individuals have one meaning', and an entirely different meaning to a clever lawyer. The ordinary individual, after reading the injunction, will be apt to conclude, notwithstanding Mr. Curtis' assertion, that Mr. Martin did intend to close the mines. Here it is : For an jn junction to restrain defendants from mining for, raising, getting or winning- any coal, coal substances or other substances upon or from said land under said portion of the sea and upon or from said foreshore until the trial or other determination of this action. London,May 31.���The Daily Mail has the following dispatch from the Earl of Rosslyn, who was a prisoner at Pretoria, but -who evidently was released as a civilian : \"Pretoria, May 30���11:40 a. m.��� Pretoria will be occupied in about two hours without resistance. President Kruger has i^oiie to Wateryaalboyen. Burgomaster Desousa is authorized to receive the British. He, with an influential committee of citizens, including Chigf Justice Gregorowski, has been appointed to preserve life and property during thc ��� interregnum. Everything is quiet, but the crowds are waiting expectantly in the Church square for tlu arrival of thc British. Fearing . pos-.-ble disturbance and bloodshed among- the prisoners of war at Waterval, United States. Consuls Hay and L.eighwood insisted on 20 officers being lib .rated on parole to go to the men. Their action cannot be too highly praised. ��� I was permitted lo accompany the officers.\" London, May 31.���Lord Roslyn's dispatch is confirmed by a message from the Reuter agent at Pretoria, but up to this hour the Avar office has nothing from Lord Roberts which it will make public; but it is assumed that the press advices are correct. Most of the morning papers, through the-cour- tesy of the Daily Mail, print Lord Roslyn's dispatch and comment upon it as news of the end of the war. But the critics predict continued guerilla warfare, as it is pointed - out that Lord Roberts has taken a considerable quantities of arms, or stores and large bodies of Boers must be still in the field somewhere. Watervaalboyen, where Kruger has gone, is 130 miles east of Pretoria, on the Delagoa Bay railroad. It is a small place, in a mountainous country. ANOTHER CHANGE OF OPINION. Hon. Joseph Martin, according to Hon. Smith Curtis, has a most convenient mind. He can change it at any time it is necessary \"to secure votes. Political principle's can always be sacrificed in Martin's interests. He is now advocating a policy of borrowing money to build roads and trails. In the bye-election held in Victoria last year, Mr. Martin denounced the policy of borrowing money in the following words-: Then as to Mr. Turner's complaint about there being nothing said about a policy of vigorous development, the government had no desire to follow in Mr, Turner's footsteps- in the development of the Province. Mr. Turner said they had expended $700,000 in building roads. That was easy. Why not make it $1,500,000, or $2,000,000 ? There was no difficulty in spending money, but it had to be borrowed, and the time always came along when jt had to be paid, and the country was burdened with interest and charges on the loan. It was sometimes necessary to discount the future, but the policy of the government would be to avoid the contraction of unnecessary loans. It is intended to handle every dollar on business principles. A dollar is as much to the government as to the individual, and as Micawber said; \"In- conic 20 shillings, expenditure 19 shillings 0, prosperity; income20shillings, expenditure 20 and 6, bankruptcy.\" It would be interesting to-know how long Mr. Martin can remain steadfast to any of the principles which he now advocates. Fortunately for the Province,, on the 9th of June the electors will give Mr. Martin ample time to make.up his mind before being further entrusted.jwith the management of the affairs of this Province. FOR MAIL CONTRACTS. ^--London .-May-31,���A-dispatch--from Lorenzo Marquez, received late last niglit, says Commandant Kmus surrendered Johannesburg to Lord Roberts. Passengers from* Pretoria assert that the town is utterly demoralized and that a rush is being made forthe coast. Five train loads of fugitives are expected here tonight. Border troubles between the Transvaal and Portugal may come to a head at any moment. The Portuguese authorities are preparing to resist any possibleinvasion. A mule battery has been sent to the frontier. By the release of the British prisoners at Waterval a full brigade will be added to Roberts' forces.
