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.

Npaul-li ('iiihIKIiiiis nre mil ol* lhe Question, liiti-ttiion-* ui' (he Amiim-i- tlea. ��� I own Will mil :;" lo .Spain with Wutson, Washington, July 9.���The great battle expected today did not take place, though the armistice expired at noun wil h both armies lined up for bat tie. The reason was that the Spanish commander who had been telegraphing his home government was seeking to make terins with General Shafter, He was willing to give up Bantiago without resistance if allowed to retreat with all of his men and anas across the island. This idea was not entertained for a moment by tlie United States government. On the contrary every effort was put* forth to seal up all avenues of escape from Santiago and to compel the Until surrender of the Spanish tinny. To have allowed tbem to make iheir way unmolested into the interior would have amounted simply to a reinforcement* of the garrison of Havana, It is believed a surrender would certainly produce au enormous moral effect both in Havana aud iu Spain itself, and thus tend to the early conclusion of the war. General Shafter has lost* nothing by the armistice, his men am rested; the commissary bus heen improved, the roads have been cleared and his artillery [is now almost completely placed in a most effective manner. On the other hand the Spanish forces have largely diminished their slender stock of provisions and have steadily lost* in ooufldence. Strategists aro indisposed to entertain the proposition said to bo under consideration at Madrid, looking to an armistice of ten days in order to consider terins for peace. They believe that the United States has everything to lose and nothing to gain by accepting a proposition. During that time Camara's Bquadron might lind lodgment in some storngly fortified coast town like Fer- roi and thus elude Watson's pursuit. Naval officials feel that another change may have to bc made in the eastern squadron as tho battleship Iowa suffered some hard knocks during the recent naval battlo with Cervera's Bquadron, and it may be necessary to substitute one of the other bnttl pending repairs. leships Washington, July 0.���Scerotary Alger says that Santiago has not surrendered or has a battle taken place there us yet, Mid the indications are that the uegotiatioHS for a surrender are still progressing. As a result of advices from General Shafter ho expressed the opinion that no battlo would take place today. Secretary Alger and General Corbin Loth refused to moke any further statements as to the nature of the communication they had received from General Shafter, but itis understood here that the town offered to capitulate upon conditions, and that these conditions so far have not* been accepted. Everything is reported to be in most satisfactory shape, tind lighting may bo resumed perhaps Ihis afternoon or evening. PROSPEROUS CANADA. Marvellous Growth iu Her Commerce Under Liberal Government. Ottawa, July I).*���Tlie next Official Gazette will contain lhe financial statement for the year. It will show for the first time in several years that Canada will have a surplus of about $2,000,000. The revenue is two million over last year. The exact figures of the expenditure have not yet been made up, but the surplus will be as above slated. The deficit since 1SI11I litis been over six million. Canada has now reached an era of prosperity as well as surpluses. The government have now under consideration the organization of the Yukon territory under a new council to be appointed with the seat of government at Fort Selkirk. It is under slood that Major Walsh does not want to slay us administrator, and that Willia'ii Ogilvie will lie appointed to take his place. All the other councillors will likely be taken from the chief officials who are now out there. INTERNATIONAL CHESS.

New York, July !).���Consul General Bruwert, representing Ihe French government in this city, told this afternoon the story of the wreck of La Bourgoyne as hit got it from the crew of tho ship on board La Tour- aine in jtheir depositions hist night" These were sworn statements of tho crew taken by the consul in his capacity as member of the Frencli Admiralty court. Mr. Bruwert tells the story as follows: When lhe collision occurred Captain Delonccl was ou the bridge. The shock of the collision was groat, it threw ihe big ship to port, and the bowsprit of tho Cromartyshire smashed ihe bridge of the liner, sinking the captain iu the side tint wounding bim painfully. Observing lhe shin had l"i n badly damaged ; y tm* collision Mt" captain orderi ,1 le r stci ;���< d for Sable bila:!'!.

Led the 12 lifo boats to be manned by the crew, companies being assigned In thom. Th'.- crews responded to tho order quickly and remained at thoir posts. After tbis order, Captain Delonccl signalled from the bridge to the officers below Hie deck to ascertain the extent of the injuries below, lie received 1:0 response to the signal. The Cromartyshire had disappeared almost instantly ill the mist, as tbe liner sped past her. Captain Delonccl not realizing that bis own ship was so badly hurt,sent up rockets to signal the captain of the Cromartyshire that if he was in distress the ship would help him. There was no response to these signals. About eight minutes after the captain had signalled down below and had received no answer, the fourth engineer rushed up to the captain and told him that the side ef the ship was cut open, and tliat the water was pouring into the machinery compartments. The captain realizing that the ship must be going down ordered the boats to be lowered. The ship was stopped about this time and the passengers of the ship, from all classes, camo rushing upon deck and ran about in a panic. They got* in tbe way of the sailors and pushed them away from the boats as tbey wero loosening them. Before the bouts could be got from the davits and ready to launch, the ship suddenly listed to starboard, throwing some of the passengers overboard. The passengers of the lirst class cabin had rushed out of their rooms to the port side of thet ship, and against the protests of the sailors, clambered into (lie six boats there. The list lo sliirboai'd made the big boat swing' in board tind turned the davits back over lh" sides ol.' the cabins. The sailors implored the passengers'to leave lhe hotils, and in some cases tried to force theni out, so that they might be lifted up and slipped over Ihe side of the ship. The passengers could not be induced to leave the boats, a crowd of steerage passengers having appeared ready 10 take their places, The sailors heaved at the boats but could not* bndgoj them, tilled us Ihey were with crazy passengers. They gave it up at, last and were engaged in cutting the boats free, wben tlie vessel pitched stern downward and sank, carrying the port boats with-it. Ou the starboard side three boats were smashed by the Cromartyshire in tin! collision.. Boat* No. Twas tilled with women and other passengers and had been got into tlu- water when Jhe big funnel fell, which smashed the boat and killed most of those in I it. Twenty Austrian sailors from thc steerage, not belonging to the ship, but going as passengers, seized one boat, No. 11. There was room for 50 in the boat, but the passengers were fought oil' by the men in it. They answered the order of a ship's officer, who drew his revolver and ordered them out, Unit Ihey were passengers and that they had as much right in the boat as the others. They pulled their knives and stabbed at the sailors. The crew left tbe boat alone, not even cuttting it loose, but the men knew how to manage it and launched itsafdly. Tho passengers inthe water tried to get aboard but were pitched oil'. Boat No. I) wns tilled wilh passengers and got off successfully. Il had 53 aboard, including its crew. The ouly boat on the port side where the first claims passengers hud rushed after trying the starboard boats was No. '.',. The sailors around it succeeded in getting it launched and they hopped in as the shirs went down and picked up enough passengers to till it. The engineers below stayed there until the lirst engineer told them to fly for their lives. He himself was lost. The water rushing in had put Out the tires. On the top of the midship house were four rafts. They unshipped one and threw it overboard, but one of the copper cylinders in it was smashed. A second was got overboard successfully before the ship sank, Wheu the heat with the Austrians got tothe ship Cromartyshire the captain of the latter asked for volunteers to take it back. The Austrians refused, saying1 they were passengers and should not be called upou for work. A volunteer crew from the Cromartyshire then set out for the boats manned by the crew of tin' Bourgoyne, and the English ship circled round and round where tbe big ship had sunk, picking up the found. Tiie French consul said the sailors swore that the compartment doors were closod and that the statement that the engineers climbed singlo file up the ladders for some distance will be tendered to show that they could not get into tlie next compartment. Tho consul says that ^he made the investigation carefully and that tho stories of lie men agree and were told frankly. The meu were sworn in the Frencli way, the crucifix being used. Tho sailors said that the life preservers were furnished to the passengers, but that they wero in a complete panic and threw them away in many instances. Consul Bruwert inquired particularly as to the fighting among the crew or the ; passengers. All the stories of the wreck agreed that neither the men from La Bourgoyno's crow nor the passengers did any fighting, excepting tho Austrians and the Italians. Most of this was done by the Austrians in the single boat. DRAPER IN WASHINGTON. Germany is tho Only Power Likely to Make Trouble. Washington, July !).���General Draper of Massachusetts, the American anibas sudor to Italy, has arrived hero on a leave of absence. He had a talk with president McKinley, having first been to the state department where he saw Judge Day. General Draper gave the administration to understand that all Europe is anxious to see peace and is gradually put ting pressure on Spain to Hint effect, lie said that Italy will not interfere in any thing this government may do in the Philippine Islands. It is said that he has informed the state department lhal he had gathered that Germany alone is likely to make demonstrations as to the Philippines. England as he understands the drift of diplomatic circles, will be glad to see the United States permanently take possession of the islands. THE LA BOURGOYNE COLLISION. Washington, July 9. ���In commenting upon the liability of the French liner La Burgoyne for the loss of life in the collision of July 4,a compe- t tit legal authority here today said from thi! descriptions thus far published it appears tliat the La Bourgoyne violated Rule in of the international rules, which requires a vessel in a fog to go at a low rate of speed and sounding her fog horn whether other vessels tire heard in the vicinity or uot. ii THE FATE OF THE TURNER GOVERNMENT IS STILL UNDECIDED.

From three districts there are no reports, and Cassiar is to come later.

Victoria, July 9.���In the provincial election.-', today the results just announced are that Victoria city returns all four government candidate*:, threo of the four seats were never in doubt, having large majorities. Iu tie other one there was a keen fight between Gregory and McPhillips. ending ;u a majority of 70 for the later. Tho government loso certainly three seats on tho island and have gained two probably on tho mainland, losing two others. Kamloops, previously a government stronghold, represented by the chief commissioner of lands and works, has gone opposition. The latest* returns indicate the opinion that there will not be more than a government majority of two in a house of 88, TROOPS TO HONOLULU. A Regiment of American to Go There.

San Francisco, July (J.���Rear Admiral Miller has rceeived information from Washington that ho is soon to bo sent to Honolulu on a special mission, presumably in connection with the annexation of the islands. Ho will receive his instructions early next week. Washington, July 9.���The Hawaiian commissioners who are to constitute the government of the islands will not be appointed until after the adjournment of congress. As recess appointees they can proceed immediately to tho execution of governmental functions, though open to confirmation when congress re-convenes. Appointment of members for both the international Canadian commission to settle all disputes between Canada and the United States and the non partisan industrial commission to investigate the entire subjeot of immigration, labor, manufactures and business, has also been deferred later and will be made as recess apointnients. VOTING AT YMIR. Ymir, July 7:50 p, 111. (Special to The Miner. )���The election passed off very quietly here. Contrary to what might have been expected, thero wero no brawls or contentions of any kind, although the partisans of both parties were very sanguine as to tho result. The saloons were all closed, or rather were not opened at all this morning. When permission was received from lhe authorities to open them at 4 p. in., Ihe effects of enforced abstinence were not noticeable.

The contest both in Xelson and elsewhere has been very close and sever", and though most of the returns are iu, tho issue is yet in doubt. Owing to the distance of some of the outlying polling stations it is not yet known whether Mr. Hume or M. Earwoll will represent the Kelson riding. The figures from Rykerts and Goat River have yet to come in, but as Mr. Hume leads av present with a majority of 12, it seems haritiy probabh thai Mr. Farwell will be able to catch up, So little, however, is known of tho number of voles likely to be polled in those places, that it- would be unwise t'i prophesy. The government supporters claim they will have a majority of three in Rykerts, but* this remains to be seen. The general results, which are equally close and indecisive, are given in another column, and the probability seems to be that neither side will have a majority of any size. Though the results are not so decisive us bad been hoped, yet the}- constitute a great victory for those who have so long been fighting for good government in British Columbia. The opposiiton had powerful forces arrayed against them, an organized political machine, and the well nigh all* powerful power of the purse. On Vancouver Island, the stronghold cf the government, three seats have been wrested by the oppos' - tion, thanks to the magic of the secre ballot. Chinese Martin has fallen, whilo it is asserted, though the filial figures are not to hand, that the premier is defeated in Cliilliwaek. Kootenay has done nobly. At Revelstoke, at Rossland, and at Kaslo the opposition candidates have been victorious, while everything points to Nelson following suit with a small majority for Mr. Hume. While it cannot be said that tho Americans have received a check iu their combat with Spain, yet thei r experience in the field before Santiago have demonstarted that thi! Spanish soldiers at any rate,are not the despicable antagonists it has been the fashion to consider them. In the battle of Santiago, tho utmost courage was displayed on both sides and yet after great bloodshed on both sides the Americans only obtained a partial advantage. In fact Shafter found it impossible to succeed in his object with the forces ut his command, and was constrained to retreat on the high ground to rest his troops and await reinforcements. General Miles, the commander-in-chief of the American army, is on record as having said that the battle was drawn. If Spain is well advised,she will treat for peace while it is yet time, for sooner or later she is sure to be overwhelmed, and tho blood of her brave soldiers will have been spilt in vain. One of the salient, features of the election in Nelson yesterday was tbe entire absence of disorderly conduct and rowdinoss. As on Dominion day, so on election day, the citizens of Nelson have shown that they remember what is due to themselves, and do not indulge in the orgies that frequently disgrace other towns on such occasions. No small meed of praise is also due to the mingled tact and firmness of Chief of Police McKinnon, whose nianagement^on such occasions ja unexceptionable. MEXICO'S GREAT CANAL. I.- nn Assiu'od Pact���Work Will be BogUU al Once. The eniisession for this canal has been granted to Messrs. B. Bolanus nml I'. Lervy, and carries with it a subvention of $5000 por kilometer, to be taken out ni tho public lands at tho rate a dollnr por acre. The entire fiiite hns boon surveyed from Tehuan- tepee lo lhe Suchiate on the Guatemalan bordor. The course of the canal is generally parallel with the Paciiic coast at a distance of from one to twenty kilometers, and from twenty to thirty kilometers distant from the coast range ol' the Sierra Madre. The concessionaires have mineral and lumber rights along (heir bonks, and also free use1 of all game, fish, salt, ete. The ennui will be Iwo melers deep and IB wide, It starts at the station on ihe Kerro Oarril Naoional de Tehu- nntepee, at the eity of Ibut* mime, and in ils course posses near or by the following ports and towns: Up Lake Tileiua, Laguna Inferior, Sagana del Pttredon, passing about four kilometers from Puerto de Arista, and South of Tonala and about twenty kilometers from Tapiichula. The canal must be finished in ten years. TWO OKK AT DAYS. Nelson is a town that knows just, how to celebrate and has the people and financial backing to do it. This is tho opinion of every New Denverite that spent lhe holidays there. About 200 went from the lake towns. The smelter town was [crowded with visitors and the snorting events went- off wilh very little hitch. There was some trouble, of course, but this is unavoidable and is to be expected. The band boys aud lacrosse team are loud in Iheir praise of the treatment accorded them mi all sides. Nelson fully appreciated the worth of the band, and recognized in it the best musical organization of the kind in Kootenay. The lacrosse boys put up as good a game as they could, hut were no match for the professional men in Ihe Nelson team. However, thev want to play a return game and Nelson will probably meet them at ihe Sandon celebration on Labor day. Nelson's two days' celebration was the Lest ever held iu Kootenay.���New Denver Ledge. REGISTRATIONS. Tho Consolidated Mining and Trading company, capital $100,000 m $1 share::.

WHAT MEN SAY OF US. A nuirrrieil man hates the word "honeymoon," because his wife is always throwing up to him his sentimental remarks during that pOliod, Next to knowing another woman's age, women always waul to know whether her sido comlis arc real tortoise shell. Among queer kinds of women is the woman who always wants to talk nbout what she was doing this time last year, Woman's worst fault is (he ease with which man can lie to her. Il is a wise man who never lets his wife know he ean put up shelves as well 08 a carpenter. After a woman marries a man she steps looking wistfully nt him, and says what she means. Every woman is looking for an opportunity to show that there is a good deal of the startled fawn iu her.

Ambassador Hay in his glowing and eloquent speech of yesterday, gloried in this thought, but to their equal courage Americans add, in this unequal combat with Spain, not only vastly superior material resources but a devising mind and a skilled organization without wiheh bravoiy is nothing but a means of providing stuff for the shambles. " Tho Daily Telegraph comments upon tlio way in which tho American commanders at Santiago and probably at Manila also have fulfilled their predictions of tho Fourth of July. It* says: "Tho Americans rushed upon San Juan in a manner displaying tho immense virility of Amerioan manhood. The unflinching personal bravery of officers and men was, in tho educated judgment of our special correspondents, tho foaturo of tho desperate light of Friday and Saturday. "The prospects of European intervention on behalf of Spain have vanished and the significant fralcrniza tion of Englishmen and Americans on independence day in the United States and London, may well give pause to thoso continental states who are credited with a design to dictate to America the terms of peace. Spain, if lur statesmen have any fragments j of political wisdom left, will make I terms with her adversary quickly. j Delay is dangerous on many grounds. " The Standard suggests that lhe war I cabinet at Washington, on the receipt I of General Shatter's despatch saying it was impossible to tako Santiago until ho had been reinforced, ordered hiin to demand its surrender. Tho Daily Chorniclo comments on tin1 "blood brotherhood of England and America on the glorious Fourth of July, which is an important outcome of grim war. " Tlie Post advises Spain to treat directly with her foe, but expresses a fear that even this courso will hardly save her from Iho grasping propensities of some of her European neighbors.
