The Miner was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia. The Miner was established by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. After leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, Houston established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. The Miner was published by The Miner Printing and Publishing Company, and the paper's longest-serving editor was D. J. Beaton. The Miner was published under two variant titles, the Nelson Weekly Miner and the Weekly Miner. In 1902, the paper was sold to F. J. Deane, who changed the title to the Weekly News.

Croftou, who returned from tho Klondike three days ago, has been arrested, charged with passing a forged draft for $1200 three years ago on the First National bank of Chicago.

Manila, Sept. 1(1.��� The Philippine National assembly was inaugurated at Malolos yesterday with great enthusiasm. There were thousands of visitors from all the provinces and a groat display was made. Aguinaldo, at 0 o'clock in the morning, entered the hall of the old convent occupied by tho Spaush local government. It is an extremely plain room adorned only with some religious pictures. Tho insurgent leader was in evening dress, according to thc Spanish custom. The others wore ordinary custumes. Aguinaldo, who was received with the troops buck to | cheers aud also with cries of "Viva Amoricaiios" by the crowd of natives inside and outside the hall, read a decree welooming the members, who included sovoral Spaniards. He next* read a messugo eulogizing the army and thanking the friendly nation which had set tho historical example of liberty and hud assisted a downtrodden race. Continuing, Aguinaldo urgently and eloquently exhorted the assembly lo "follow the noblest principles" and invoked the "spirits of the martyred Filipinos." Tho assembly then adjourned for the day. A Spanish delegate suggested Texan Soldiers Refuse to Take From a Colored Paymaster. - Washington, Sept. Ki.���Paymaster General Stanton has turned over to the president all the papers relating to the recent unpleasantness, growing out of the refusal of a Texas regiment to receive pay from Major Lynch because ho was colored. The president has taken no definite action beyoud expressing approval of General Stanton's course in sending a sharp despatch to the commanding paymaster of that department, stating in effect, Kuas Major Lynch has been regularly commissioned by the president as an army paymaster the troops must take their pny from him or else go without pay. Thus, the matter stands, with papers before the president. I Buffalo Citizens to Petition for a Treaty- DECISIVE ACTION ASKED THE OCCUPATION OF CUBA. IN THE BALL FIELD. Sept.

The correspondent of tho Associated Press had a private interview with Acuiualdo, who is extremely unwilling to compromise himself with the natives. He said that a majority of the Filipinos had been struggling for freedom for years and ceuturies and that they now believe that object has been obtained. Aguinaldo professed entire ignorance of tho autonomous systems in vogue in tho British colonies, of the protectorate and of American states autonomy. He said he was unable to understand the idea and only understood absolute independence. Personally, ho believed a protectorate for the Philippines wns necessary, but he feared that tho people would be dis- aupointed in this. He hnd not studied pofitioal economy and knew nothing about various forms of government. Ho inquired whether Australia wns au American colony and he said ho had never heard of a Malay protectorate. Continuing ho said there was no need of protection for the Philippine islands, because tho Filipinos wero able to cope with any army. He admitted that, he had never seen a for eign army, with exception of the garrisons at, Hong Kong und Singapore, and he had never seen those troops on parade. Aguinaldo declined to dismiss the American army and protested his un- duyiug gratitude to Americnns. Ho said they hud count to the Philippines to fight tho Spaniards only, nnd now that they hud finished the tusk it was expected that they would return to America. Ho was unwilling to believe that Americans would demand a reward for au act of humanity, and FREE SIVLER AND BRYAN. j he declined to admit the necessity of a i quid pro quo.

About 70,000 troops are now located in the south and orders will bo issued sending the first, second, sixth, ninth and tenth cavalry from Montauk to southern stations. Tho purpose is to establish winter camps between the Slat and 86th pnrallels. The major part of tho army thus assembled is destined for service iu Cuba, with a much smallor force for Porto Rico and a reserve in tho winter camps. Tl; is the intention however, not to send the army of occupation to Cuba until after the unhealthy season has passed, aud meanwhile the troops will be put in tno best possible condition. B. & O.

Hi.���A petition,signed by a number of the city's influential citizens is being circulated among the members of the Merchants Exchange, asking that body to take decisive action on the question of reciprocity with Canada in time for the next meeting of the Quebec conference. The petitioners are strongly in favor of a reciprocity treaty, and point out that Buffalo, being the terminate point of the important Canndian railways, would bo sure to be bonefied from a free exchange of the products from the two countries.

He admitted that ho had not acquired an interest in the property, but that ho expected to. It* was denied that he has in contemplation to identify the B. &. O. in liny way with the Great Northern. The present outlet by the way of Duluth and Superior to Buffalo, and thence by the trunk linos, it was positively asserted, was not to be changed. It was authoritively stated in this connection that in so far as the Great Northern is concerned thero is not the least intention of extending its working connections south of St. Paul. THE SUNKEN WAR SHIPS. A Seamship Passing Too Close to It Is Fired Upou From the Shore. Paris, Sept. 10.���Officials circles and tho public generally are in no way perturbed by the news from Fashoda. On the contrary, they appear to be indifferent. Much greater excitement prevails respecting the Dreyfus affair. It* is understood that M. Mnrujoule, minister of commerce, M. Tilaye, minister of public works, and M. Pigo, minister of agriculture, will accompany General Zurliuden, minister of war, in retiring. A curious story is puKlisl ���' to tin- effect that a passenger steamer, which, while passing Devil's island, approached closely in order to enable passengers to sec tho habitation of Capt. Dreyfus, was disagreeably surprised by four canon shots fired from the island. It wns learned afterwards that all vessels venturing too near were similarly greeted. President Faure returned here at midnight and was received with an ovation by a small crowd which hud gathered, apparently betokening that a large section of the public still oppose a revision of the Dreyfus proceedings.

If there wns laxity of met bod. to give it n mild designation, in one instance in the administration of departments ninler the late provinoial governient, the inference to be drawn i.s that there was mismanagement in all, The men who would give $110,000 to a contraotor who hnd uo lawful claim on tho province, could not be expected to act honestly in other directions. It mny be that most of theso offenses against the people were perpetrated shortly before the elections. The supporters of Mr. Turner I were sure of his success and ns money | is a prime requisite in ;i political eon-: test, it hnd to be forthcoming from some quarter. It is handy to havo a contractor with a governmeul contract around jost about then. The evident i irregularity in the Jevon's contract, j spoken of by Hon. Mr. Hume, wns not j the only instance, we mny be sure, of queer work which will lie brought to light. It could not bo otherwise. When politicans remain long in power they arn apt to grow careless of the puhlie interests nnd to net as if they had proprietory rights in what does not belong to them. Tliey como to believe that the country ennnot vory well :lo without theni, and they consider any proposition to depose them an attaok upon the foundations of ihe country. And when pressed they will go to anj' length to keep the advantage they hold. There hnvo been many illustrations of this in Canadian history, but the culprits bave always fallen before public opinion. It would havo been better for Mr. Turner never to have held ollice, thnn for bim to go out of it discredited in this way. prove as rich ns the far famed placers of the Yukon. , Trusting iu these reports hundreds embarked their fortunes in expeditions from Ashcroft only to find that there were insuperable obstacles iu the wny of success. Pack trains were thinned out and finally lost through lack of provender ; men found it impossible to tako in enough provisions to support them on the journey, not to speak of what would bo necessary to Sustain them after they reached the diggings, should they ever reach theni, an extremely doubtful outcome at auy time. And there wns no direct trail. Consequently it is easy to understand why disaster overtook most of those who ventured that wny. Men accustomed to travelling"in the hills, old prospectors who know how to live where the uninitiated would starve, might bo able to make a successful trip by the Ashcroft route, but tho large majority who went* in that wny were eastern people not innnred to tho exactions of so serious nn undertaking. They are largely to blame, but the chief responsibility rests with those who advocated the Ashcroft trail because they "thought" it would furnish a good route. ^!?fmmnfmmm^M?fm^fm^?Fnfmnfmmm^f^fmmnf^ official Directory.

Whatever the conditions muy be ih other parts of the world, Canada is in the full flood of prosperity, which means comfort, ease nnd wealth to many from ocean to ocean. British Columbia is a hive of industry,directly nntl indirectly benefitting thousands ; tho territories report the brightest* prospects regarding agricultural pursuits. Manitoba hns had a wonderful harvest, nnd business never wns brisker in the commercial and manufacturing centers of Ontario and the Maritime provinces. Therefore, Hon. Mr Fielding hnd facts upon his side When, in a speech at Qagetown, N. B., he pointed out that never in her history hnd Canada been so prosperous ns she is today, nnd there seems full justification for his belief, earnestly expressed, that there will be a surplus of over $1,000,000 in the national treasury this year. Canada waited long for her salvation. It hns come at last, and the country stands todny the most progressive and promising on the faco of the globe. Mr. Vernon, ex-agent general for British Columbia in London, by his wilful neglect of tho interests of tlw province that conferred honor upon him aud his supercilious attitude generally, not ouly brought discredit upon himself, but he discredited the office so that the new government, finding tlmt little benefit has been derived from it, contemplate abolishing it altogether. This would be a mistake. Be- oause Mr. Vernon did not fill the position ns it should have been filled,nnd could be by judicious selection, is not an argumont against the office. It might ns well bo stud that heennse Mr. Turner did not aet properly as premier of the province, that the premiership should be abolished, An experienced mnn ns agent general in London eould make te office an invaluable one to tho province. This part of the colonial empire is now attracting widespread interest in the eld Innd. Britishers nre pleased nnd proud to know lhat there is here, under the ting, nnd likely to be forever under the flag, a province rich in mines nnd already playing an important pnrt in the mineral production of tho world.

Tiernay, who has a contract on the Crow's Nest Pass railway, east of Coal creek, was in town yesterday. He is verv much taken with Nelson and has decided to come here to live. At present his family is in Spokane, whither he goes today, returning in a week. The connection botween the city reservoir and tho electric light penstock has been made with the result that the service has been made better. It has been found, however, that the drain on the city reservoir is to great, to allow the water to run for auy length of timo at night. There was a drunken mau in the Model restaurant yesterday who refused to pay for his meal, used bad language and generally made himself objectionable. The policeman happen to bo elsewhere nt the time, but the mavor was in the neighborhood and promptly marched the offender off to the city lockup. The silver trowel to be presented David Wilson, grand master A. F. & A. M. of British Columbia, in commemoration of the laying of the corner stone of St. Saviour's church, has beeu received by Fred Irvine. It is a handsome souvenir, with an appropriate inscription. Mr. Irvine will display it in the windows of his store during the day. Owing to sickness in the family of Hewitt Bostock, M. P., that gentleman, who is now at Rossland, is required to return home at once. Mr. C. A. Grogg.^who expected to meet Mr. Bostock here, received a message to this effect yesterday,and was requested to announce that it was with great regret that Mr. Bostock felt* compelled to cancel his proposed visit to this portion of his constituency. THE WESTMINSTER EIRE. Help Coming in From all Sides to the Stricken Town. The various towns in Kootenay are responding nobly to the calls for help from New Westminster. Among the niauy substantial "contributions received may be numbered the Vancouver Board of Trade fund which has reached the $11000 limit, Rossland has contributed $5000, the Northwest territories $1000, Nelson $500, Kamloops $500, Nanainio $500 and Hiram Walker $250. The banks of Vancouver are obtaining instructions from headquarters to subscribe $500 each, while the Women's Council has collected $148. Mayor Ovens of New Westminster has written tho following letter to Mayor Garden of Vancouver: "The supplies already coming in from Victoria, Vancouver, Seattle and other places aro meeting the wants of tho citizens iu a most satisfactory manner. I am hopeful that tho cases of actual suffering will be confined within very narrow limits. A careful estimate places the number of homeless people at about 2500, and the number of business houses and houses destroyed at 500. Tlie loss will reach fully, $2,500,000." Travel via tho Canadian Pacific rail way Septembor 17 and IK to Rossland and save time. Round trip, $3.05. * RATES GO UP. The First to Movo are tho Northern Transcontinental Lines. The Northern transcontinental railroads have been advised that, effective September 21, the lines between Chicago and St. Paul will advance their passenger rates betwen thoso points from $8 to $11.50, the standard; tariff. Railroad passenger agents are now somewhat anxious to know what the new transcontinental rates are to be, says tho Seattle Times. It is not be- lived by many that the fares which are announced as probably to be advanced on the 25th will bo as high as previous to the rate war. The railroads have learned something while engaged iu this merciless slaughtering of rates, that is, that most peoplo ride when rates aro low aud that notwithstanding long and protracted cutting, the roads have somehow made monoy. Some thiuk the day of very high faro is over. Previous to tlie fight the ratos to New York were $77.50 first class, and $05.50 tourist, and hy the Canadian Port Arthur route, $70 nnd $110.50. This difference is whnt has been desiguated the "differential" and what has caused all the trouble. That differential gave the Canadian a mighty leverage when the rush to the Klondike began and the American roads, to keep np their share of the travel, had to make bids for business by paying higher commissions. Then the C. P. R. began cutting and the war commenced. As showing the lengths to wliich the war went, the present rates on New York are $85 and' $25. TO EXPEL THE FRENCH. London, Sept. 17.���A despatch to the Morning Post from Cairo says General Kitchener has absolute authority to claim Fashoda as Egyptian territory, and to expel the present occupants forcibly if necessary. The Hou. J. Fred Hume, minister of mines, has arrived in Nelson on business connected with his approaching appeal to the electors for re-election. Mr. Hume informed a Miner reporter that things were running smoothly with tho new administration, tho various ministers now being thoroughly an fait with the details of their respective departments. The affairs of his own department had uot required so much straightening out as had those of some of the others, which had been left in bad shape by j the retiring administration. Mr. Hume stated that a commissioner was about to inquire into several doubtful transactions which had come to light in the lands and works department. Mr. Justice Irving had originally been nominated as commissioner, but had been obliged to decline owing to his approaohing visit to Nel- soon to preside over the assizes. His successor had not been nominated wheu Mr. Hume left the coast. One transaction which would ho very carefully inquired into is what is known as the Jevons contract. Mr. Jevon had a contract with the late government in connection with the parliament buildings, and he received from the late government, just before the elections, the sum of $30,000 which, it is contended, he had no right to receive, and for which no value was received in the shape of work dono. It is claimed by the present government that this was a sop given for political purposes. Ou paying out this sum, the Turner government received a full receipt for all work done in connection with rhe work; but, nevertheless, another hill was soon received amounting to $16, - 000. The Turner government actually referred this claini to arbitration, Needless to say, tho present government had cancelled the arbitration agreement. Speaking of the condition of affairs generally on the coast, Mr. Humo said that the Victoria merchants were feeling the effects of having overstocked themselves in anticipation of au immense Klondike rush that never came. In Vancouver, however, business was brisk, and a great many new buildings were going up. Mr. Hume wns uncertain how long he would remain i i Nelson, but if liis return is unopposed his stay here is likely to be ccomparatively brief.

A full account of the proposed plan of bonding the St. Kervene mine near Sandon by John A. Finch of Spokane was given a short time back in The Miner. News has now come to hand that the scheme has been dropped owing to the action of a small section of the eastern stockholders. A meeting of the shareholders was held in Spokane last Wednesday night for the purpose of ratifying the scheme, there being represented d20,000 share of thc 900,000 issued, who were all in its favor. Mr. Finch thereupon informed the stockholders present that he had received several letters aud telegrams from small eastern stockholders denouncing the plan ns a high handed proceeding, and he had also noted au adverse criticism in the Toronto Mail and Empire. The result was that though he believed the plan to be a good thing for tho stockholders large and small, Mr. Finch said he did not care to undertake the project if he were to be thus bitterly denounced by the people whom ho sought, to help. The meeting eould suggest no other feasible plan, and adjourned for a fortnight. It now seems very doubtful if the company will he ablo to secure sufficient funds to develop the property.

The presidents of both houses of the Austrian and Hungarian parliaments deposited wreaths near the casket. After the blessing of lhe remains, Emperor Francis Joseph knelt down and repeatedly kissed the coffin. He asked the maids of honor whether hor majesty had suffered much. They replied that* she had not. It, transpires that a painful scene occurred tit the church. The emperor was prostrated with grief. Upon arriving at the Hofburg chapel on Thursday night, his majesty became almost unconscious from the intensity of his emotions. Many of those present wept in sympathy.
