FIVE CENTS. ROM 1 HUM. r Britisli Convoy Walked Into a Boer Ambusn and Were Captured. Daring Escape of Two British Officers From Prison at Pretoria. Bushman Kop, Saturday, Mirch 31. ���������Tlie British force commanded by Colonel Broad wood, consisting of the 10th Hussars, Household cavalry, horse batteries and a force of mounfce infantry under Colonel Pilcher, which had been garisomng Thab.a Nohu, was oblighed, in consequence of the near approach of a large force of Boers, to leave last night. Colonel Broadwood marched to- the Bloomfontein waterworks south of the Modeler river, where he encamped at 4 o'clock this morning. At early dawn the camp w is shelled by the enemy from iv near point. Colonel Broadwood sent off a convoy with r the butteries while the rest of tlie force remained to act as a rear guard. The convoy arrived nt a deep spruit'where the Boers were concealed, and the entire body walked into an ambush and was captured, together with six guns. The loss of life was not great, since most of the British had walked into the trap before a shot was fired. General Colvillc'R division, which left Blocmfontein carl 3 this morning, arrived Here at noon and he is now shelling the Boers. London, Ann" I 3.���������The dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez dated yesterday, a.n- nouncing the arrival there of Captain Haldane, of the Gordon Highlanders, and Lieutenant Lomesurier, of the Dublin Fusiliers, who made their escape from Pretoria, is followed today by. further "details''of their perilous adventures after getting over the railings and reaching tho street. -'The moon was full," continues the narrative, "nnd our untimely appearance attracted the attention of tho police, but we managed to clear the town and to strike the Delagoa Bay rai road. We followed the line, hiding by day in ditches. Many narrow escapes we had from the Boer patrols. In one instance wo were compelled to take, to the river and swim some distance after having alarmed a patrol which -.was searching ' for us along the bank. We .spent a , miserable night in a clump of bracken. The morning sun brought life to our chilled bodies, but we found our small supplies of meat lozenges and chocolate had been, spoiled by water with the exception of the army emergency rations. When night came on /we left the railway track as^being too risky, and wandered Jar to the, southward, striking the railway, again at Elands River, near daybreak,Dwe were so tired that we were obliged to rest at the first available cover, which proved to be in the centre, of a Boer farm, again we had a narrow escape from discovery by the farmhands, but we got away ���������.���������safely atnight, riding a Bhort distance. All the following day we lay in an ant-bear hole under the burning sun." London, April 4.���������The correspondent of the Times at Lorenzo Marquez telegraphing Tuesday, says : "It is reported here that all th ! Rand mines closed down last Thursday. British workmen and their countrymen in other parts'of the Republic are being expelled from the Transvaal. On tho other hand, the Boers are ao demoralized that it is impossible to induce many now on iur- lough, to return to the front. They are generally averse to'defending Biggara- burg, and are divided with reference to the war. President Kruger has prevailed on Mr. St. yn to make one big stniid before surrendering." boy and every girl who collects five dollars or upwards is to accompany the gift and tlie testimonial^ The latter of which will be in form suitable for placing amongst the tributes from her loyal subjects, placed in the room'in Windsor Castle, where the public can obtain' a view of them. The presentation of this great testimonial from thr* children of Canada, through Lord Minto, accompanied by the photos of the children, who are raisingit, will be a touching incident in her life, and it is an opportunity t/aat will probably come only once in a life time to the children of Canada. Boys and girls wanting special blank subscription lists and particulars of the movement can obtain them by mailing a postal card to the Montreal Star. Photographers all over Canada are offering to photograph free to place in tlie Queen's testimonial the boys and girls ol Canada who identify themselves successfully with the movement. Subscriptions by the thous ijuls- are i ouring into the Star office. BOYGE II 1 [[������ In HIS' DEATH AVENGED. the Coeur d'Alene Conspiracy- Sensational Testimony, By Order of the Chinese Government the Murderers of Rev..Mr. Brooks Pay the Penalty. Pekin, April 1.���������The Chinese government has settled the controversy arising out of the murder, on December 3rd last, of Rev. Mr. Brooks of the Church Missionary Society, on the following terms : Two of the murderers will be beheaded, one imprisoned for life, one for ten years and another tor two years. A memorial chapel will he erected on the site of the murder and a tablet will be placed in Canterbury cathedral, England, at the expense of the Chinese government. The Rev. Mr. Brooks, at the time of his murder, was stationed at Ping Yin, in the province of Shan Tung. He was captured in that vicinity and killed by the members of tho seditious society known as Boxers, who had been very active in destroying villages and slaughtering native Christians. Tlie governor of the province had dispatched a force of cavalry to the scene of the disturbance,but the soldiers arrived too late to save the life of Mr. Brooks. A Tuesday dispatch from Washington, D.C., says : 'The'fe.Uure of today's hearing before the Coeur d'Alene investigating committee was Governor Steuncnberg's sensational disclosure of thy details of the conspiracy to invade Wardner anil blow up the Bunker'Hill nnd Sullivan mill. The governor said that Ed. Boyco was in" the country ten days before the outrages, and then selected 20 trutted men to lead the insurrection. These swore iu 20 others, and the 40 selected and swore in 40 more, and the 80 selected and swore in 80 others. Governor Steunenoerg lightened the sensation by declaring that these details came to him from James \\. Sovereign, through A. 13. Campbell, a prominent Coeur d'Alene mine owner. At tho time of the Wardner outiages Sovereign was editing the Idaho Tribune, official organ of the Coeur d'Alene miners' union and the; Western Federation of Miners. Although Sovereign was in the room and heard the sensational statement, he made no protest. The governor completed his testimony today and was excused. Governor Steune'nberg said ho sent Adjutant-General French to the Coeur d'Alenes, who reported that a movement was on foot, on the disbanding of the militia, lor miners to, come to Wardner and dynamite the Bunker Hill mill.' There were repeated threats the governor said, that-.the officials of the mine would be murdered if they did not escape before the Canyon Creek miners came down. He s-aiil he was shocked to learn that Frederick B. Whitney, superintendcr.'. of the Frisco mill, had been taken I'r^n his room ut night by 10 armed and masked men, marched down to the creek and shot, dying in a day or two. Joe Martin says the delay in filling his cabinet, is became he h in search ol strong men. In Mich connection the expression has two meanings, the one omplying unusual ability and the other a hold upon tho people. It is a matter of interest to tlie people to know wherein his present colleagues��������� Messrs. Yates, Smith-Curtiss and Bcebe ���������are the possessors of eithr-r. It is now more certain than ever.that there will bo a three-cornered fight1 in the Slocan, if not a quadrangular one. Mr. Green will not support Martin ; the Conservatives will Name a man, and ho will not support Martin. If the Liberals put a man in the field he will not support Martin, so as Martin has nothing to expect from any other element, his only hope is to jmt a man in the field. Even defeat of his man would not leave him worse off than he otherwise is doomed to be. minesmo Mimni PEKSONAL MENTION. An important s'rike has been made on the Storm property, near Silverton. Work on the Foutenoy mine, in Camp McKinney will shortly be resumed on a large scale. The Rossland & Slocan B.-C. Syndicate have taken up the bond of $70,000 on the Snowshoe mine near Pticenix. Mr. J. G. Steele was down from his property, near the Idaho, on Monday last and says they are making very good headway. They have a good showing of ore iu the lead where reached by the first two tunnels. Their present working is'a 'croas-cut for a third tunnel where they hope to reach the lead in about 40 feet more. Extra Local Items. Boxing Contest. Miss Mason, who spent several weeks in the city, returned to Ainsworth on Monday. Mr. Geo. Petty, of Three Forks, has returned from his winter's visit to the Western States. W. P. Evans, of the Kootenaian, was a prisoner in town for a da}', not in the hands of the law, only detained by the Iv. & S. slide. Major -M. Allan,.who put in the past term at Portland Medical college, has returned to B. C. for the summer, now visiting at Rossland. Walter Adams, now manasrer of the Arlington mine at Slocan City, came up on Wednesday evening's train. JEALOUSY IN THE BOUNDARY. Newspaper Man in Gaol for Libelling His Town at Alleged Instance of Rival Community. a,/ Ode to Canada. Splendid Idea. It was an American subject, Robert Choate, of Boston, Mass., who first, through the Montreal Star, suggested the popular patriotic fund taken up by the children of Canada and.the United States, and now receiving such favor all over the 'world. The idea was to get something started with which young Canada could be identified, and the presentation of which would bring the boyo and girls of Canada into direct touch with the Queen, who will treasure the photographs of the boys and girls. It was proposed to engross on parchment the name of every giver to this fund of ten cents and upwards. The name of every boy or girl who collects tcu subscriptions in the testimonial is to appear in the testimonial as a leader in the movement, and the photograph, beautifully mounted, of every My country, when I think of thee��������� .

" On Saturday evening last at the Central Music hall the 10-rbund boxing contest, between Percy Wilkinson, of Sandon. and J.H. Leedham, Of Halifax, became rather a warm contest. At the" ninth round Leedham struok a heavy blow on Wilkinson's eye, and then the chief of police stepped in and stopped what would likely have resulted in a "hand to hand:" Leedham showed fight, and it Jook-jd as if he wanted to give his opponent a thrashing. '" '_' _'.'..'. -, Both men went on the stage in good training condition. Wilkinson was the favorite with the spectators. Leedham, a big man, was far too heavy for Wilkinson, who is very short, though thick-set.' Harry McDonald, the referee, divided the gate.receipts between the two. contestants. Who Is He ? , Columbia, B;C, March 31.���������The Review, issued in Columbia, B.C., ceased publication two months ago, but this afternoon a special edition was issued,' supposed to be at the instigation of Gra nd Forks parties," violently attacking the financial standing aud future prospects of Columbia. Mayor McCal- lu'm swore out information against Robert Nesbitt, proprietor of the paper, for defamatory libel, with the result that Nesbitt is now in gaol. The prospects of Columbia aret very bright at present, and the citizens are naturally incensed at the attack. , The Voters' List. . Victoria, B.C., April 3.���������Cory Spencer Rider, of Cumberland, was this afternoon sworn in as finance minster in Martin's cabinet. Victoria is asking who in the name of heaven is Cory Spencer Rider. Nobody ever heard of him before. The Political Arena. The new .voters' list for the Slocan will have on.'-as nearly as possible, 15U0 names. On it there will be about 525 called miners; but a*, there are many now in other callings, who registered years..ago as miners, there may not be more than 450 actual .mining votes registered, and a number of these will be away before polling. It is safe to say that there will not be more than about 4Q0 miners' votes polled. Tnis will leave about 1000 in'other callings. It is safe to say that out of the entire mining vote not more than 300 will be polled as the machines may, direct, and probably not more than 200 go anyone way if Martin puts a candidate in the field, as it will be his policy to do. The Prince of Wales Shot at. FEVERISH FROM WORMS. Two of my little boys were troubled with worms. They would wake up in the night and vomit, and through the day would sometimes be very feverish. I gave them Dr. Low's Worm Syrup' and it completely cured them. Mrs. Win. Mercel, Teeterville, Ont. The Gri's of Nelson held a convention on Friday night last, and decided they would have nothing to do with either Joe Martin or party lines. Joe Martin in his addresses refers to the platform of his government, when in fact the document was written before he had a colleague sworn in, According to the language of Joseph one man constitutes a government. The eight-hour law is a great boon to the country and so has been the business of the country the past year that followed as a result, and so will be the contiiiHance of such business while the law,1 is there. Don't the admirers of the law admire the results? One would think by reading the Sil- vertonian that if it was not for The Reyiew and the Nelson Miner the Conservatives could carry the Slocan, and as it already concedes victory to R. F. Green and Joe Martin, but for the bad papers referred to the Slocan would have three representatives in the next House. - London, April 4.���������Prince and Princess of Wales started for Copenhagen this morning for the purpose of attending the celebration of King Christian's birthday, which occu.es April 8. Brussels, April 4.���������The Prince of Wales was shot at while leaving the railway station here today. Fortunately he was not hurt. The would-be ass-issin is a tinsmith named Sipido, a. resident of Brussels, 16 years of a������*-e. In his pocket was found a great deal of anarchist literature, He fired two shots at the Prince. The Princess of Wales and others were in the car but no one was "touched. When examined by the railroad officials Sipido'Jeclarcd he intended to kill the. Prince of Wales, that he did not regret his action. Cambridge won the 'boat race from Oxford on Friday last. "Joe" has another minister now and his name is Ryder. The promotion he will meet with yvill bo a "stalking horse." How long will the people, bear this "anyway? They had a duce of a racket at the Grit convention at Vancouver, some of, 'the delegates being turned out. doors- and .Joseph's chairman ���������.being-- turned." down, and all on account of Joseph. John.Daly took Ward McDonald to" ��������� Kaslo on his "go devil" on Thursday evening so as to enable the latter to catch the carly morning boat to reach Spokane. John made the distance, 28 miles, in two hours and a,quarter, sailing over a dozen or more mud slides. Bro. Lowiy thinks' Sandonites must have been dissipating of late as they are aboutto have "a bitter atonement/' Wonder if it was a case of falling-off a wharf while sight seeing in a. strange city? To complete the picture perhaps Bro. Lowry could loan his tombstone. The Knssland mine owners and miners have happily adjusted ail their differences and over 2,000men have gone to work. The men accepted the ultimatum.of the owners. It is a fo'rtiinate thing for the country that reason and common sense prevailed until differences were adjusted.

Ward.McDonald received word on Thursday of the death of his brother, Scott McDonald, .-'which; took place at- his home in Spokane that day.-De- . ceased was for many.years a contra! figure in mining operations in this district. He had not been in good health before he left these parts, about a year ago, and his malady kept making inroads until tbe end came. Mr. (rant Coxe called on us on Wednesday in reference to a paragraph that appeared in Tho Review associating his name with the fracas with the Fin- landers on the Reco trail. He denies all connection with it and says ho was out of the. city at the time. Of course we know nothing of it am! only gave the report as hoaway, and Mr. Coxe's denial stands as correct nrthe absence of proof to tlie contrary. We are glad to know he is in a position to clear himself. A miner named Tally 'died at the Ivanhoe mine on Friday night week, under peculiar circumstances. It is said ho had been drinking for some time before and that he was in ^anything but good health, or a condition to go to work, at the time ; but he. went to work and tho smoke from the powder filled his lungs so that he was soon o.vercome,dying in a few hours. There was no bad gas, the tunnel had good ventilation, but the man's condition , at the time practically unfitted, him for the ordinary conditions of mining, with the sad result. The deceased had worked around Kaslo for soma time previous. Ho was buried on Sunday by-the Miners' Union. Guests at the Rsco. TO CURE COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

"My dear Vivien,'' returned Sir Arthur, earnestly, "when you know more of life, youi will know thut a mani nev.- er iorgots and never ceases to love his first love." And Lady Neslio. overhearing the words, felt the bitterest also spoken to his daughter of them. "They are family heir-looms,"; he had said. "As I have no wife to wear them,-you must wear them, Vivien, when yo:U come of age." That promise ho could not keep. Lady Neslie mentioned them when.she had been some days at Lancewood. : "I should like to see them, Arthur," she said. "Perhaps some of the settings;, are old-fashioned. If so, the stones must be reset." And, one morning when a sudden shower of rain prevented their going out.

They had never been touched since the dead Lady Neslie had ',(closed them, and Sir Arthur remembering that, looked gravely at them. Viviien felt it deeply. "Papa/1 she said, "I can be of no use here.

In laying a fire much paper and wood arro often wasted. Most housemaids cn-am a piece of paper lightly down, plaice a heavy layeir of wood on top of it and coven: this thickly with lumps of coal. Then they are surprised because the fi're will not burn. The wood for the morning fire ought to be placed on the rack the night before. The bundles become thoroughly dry und ignite quicker. To light a fiiio the paper should bo loosely arranged and the sticks of wood placed leaning against it. Everything burns quicker whetf placed in an upright position. Small pieces of coal from yesw-rd.-iy's firo should he placed lightly about lhe-wood und space between allowed for the air to circulate. A fire thus uuide will use loss paper, ami wood and burn much quicker than if kindled by the method mostly practised. If ash-trays were more generally ploe������d below the gate the labor of cleaning tho latter would be considerably reduced and the dust caused by sweeping up the ������shcB would be reduced to a minimum. HOW TO BREW TEA. Lovers of tea will tell you, with .'a wis������ shake of the head that tea should never be allowed to eteep for any lengLh of time and should never be used a second time. Tiui latter rule is particularly insisted upon, yet the Chinese, who must certainly be looked upon a,s good authorities on the tea question, say to the contrary. The Chinese put tea into their little tea bowl's, let'it steep a very short time, pour off the liquid and drink it, and then add more water to the leaves. Tho tea from this second brewing is tho better,, they say. It has not. the roughness of; taste of the first brew. Good tea, taken in moderation and properly prepared, is pronounced by doctors to be a stimulant to the nervous system. ';. ' . ROLLERS. FOR LINEN.

Dress for little children is rather simple this season, but the styles aro so pretty and the colors so becoming that the; effect is harmonious and striking. -White, red, tan and brown are the colors of the season, and all white is still in favor for infantfl of either sex. Red is.a fashionable color for small girls, or a combination of red and white is also affected. A red hat arid coat looks well with, a white frock and black boots and stockings, but tan hose and boots aro generally worn with red toilettes. Very chic for u child of five or six is a red coat and skirt, red stockings, bluck sitoes, and n big black hat, or equally so is a long tan coat with big white buttons, and triple onpes, ot which the lower *>ao is quite full, and tho others flat. A big brown bat with natural plurneo, and ts.ii boots and hosiery complete this toilette. Fawn, beaver, tan, nnd the lighter brown shades are very popular, both for boys and girls. A delightful example for a tiny girl'is a'long cloak of palest fawn cloth, with cape bordered with dark brown fur, and brown horn buttons, brown shces and stockings, and a big feit hat an a palo castor tint, trimmed with brown, and in front a couple of pompons of turquioso silk. A stylish brown costume for a boy of six or Severn consists of brown boots and gaiters, tan-colored covert coat, and baggy knickerbockers, and a hint in brown felt, with light pompoms.

"Come round to the barn with your traps,' and then you can stay to supper ; mother says so,'' caid Ned, rejoining his friend. ' "You're different from most boys," said WLl; and Ned colored a little, for he was inwardly a trifle afraid of his mother's display of fondness provoking ridicule from the boys. - "Ilow?" he asked, although know- ting well what was meant. "Oh���������that," said WLl. with an indefinite backward noi over his shoulder. "But I like ������l���������I do, really." "I like it," said Nod, his deepening color now due to feeling.' "Don't know how I'd get along if my mother wasn't just that way. And, us shei is just that way, how can I help being just that way, too? Of course it comes natural that I should be." Neil's mother, if she had heard this, might have smiled in remembrance of the many lesson3 it had taken to inculcate the grace of politeness, which was now, indeed, if not natural, rapidly becoming second nature to the boy- ��������� ' '������������������'���������>' "It I had a mother, I'd like to bo so," said Will. "Well,; it isn't only just mothers, you know. That is, of course, nobody else cdn.be like ,your mother; but I mean you can be it. to other.folks���������in a way; to anybody in our home- They all liko it." Will burst into a laugh. . 8 "All, hey I wish you knew cy Aunt Susan. But you will; for; now we're getting settled, you must come over.- You'll laugh dt the idea of such doings for her. -Why, if I should bring her a flower or take off my hat to her, she wouldn't know what to -make of it. She'd think I was crazy." "i don't believe it," said Ned. "That ia. it she's a good woman. And of course;'" he added,. In quick politeness, "your" aunt must be." .,-. ' -Good II guess she is I She's so good hersaif she thinks there's no good in such a thing.as a toy, I believe she thinks boys were only made to be a torment to such as she." -;..'���������. ���������'Some boys are, I.suppose." Win colored a little as he inwardly realized' that Aunt Susan might be somewhat justified in holding such an opinion. , , ���������'Well/' continued Ned, "I thought all ladies liked flowers, and liked to be nicely treated, too., . And," he added stoutly, "I think rib still." "I don't vboiieve Aunt Susan would take thetroubie to notice either flowers or nice behavior," replied Will. . .��������� V. "Havo you ever tried V", Boys are. not much in the habit of reading moral lectures to one another, so it is not likely Nod would have enlarged on the subject, even if thoy had not just then been ready to carry in their string of fish, to be duly admired 'by Nea's mother. Bui Ned's lightly spoken, and quickly l>y him forgotten question, return- e/t to Will's mind, as, later, he walked alone in the . direction of his own hon.e "Have you over tried?" "Well, i haven't, thut's a foot. (Out," ho jpuve/o little laugh, "the iaeu. o������ bringing flowers to Aunt Susan I Fancy her stare I She would not know ivha,t to make of it.

Will wa3 mahing up to his room two steps at a time, when he suddenly paused��������� "i'l1. take it to her, Aunt Susan." Shu stopped and Jooked at him un- smiangly, concluding at once in her own mind that he had some business of his own that way, yet still surprised that he should be willing to include in it a service for her self. "Well, if it won't bother you,".she said. Afore intercourse with Ned awakened in Will a more honest resolution to make the best of himself in the mailer of grace of manner and behavior. It is a pity that every boy should not reflect how largely his conduct influences Ihosee among whom ho is thrown. Will .increased his efforts to avoid small annoyances to his uunt, and began showing her smal' attentions, which sometimes won for him an approving smile. He began to feel touched and conscience-smitten at perceiving that wnat he had begun in an unworthy spiri' of fun should be making the impression on Aunt Susan which should belong with honest effort. It was pleasant to the boy whose home- life was so lonely to find himself looking for Aunt Susan's smile, and for the softened voice in which she answered his good-morning. And one day he ran up to his room, nnd laughed by himself till he was out of breath. ' ��������� "1 took off my hat to her as I met her on the corner, and she actually turned red with astonishment." "More shame for me that it should take her off her feet so," came .with a soberer reflection. "Jf I've done it in fur before, I'll do' it in earnest now. I think it pays for a boy to be decent in his ways, whether anybody notices it or not. It pays just in tho feeling he has himself." Which was as wise a conclusion as a boy often arrives at. FASHION AND FABRIC. the sweetness of the caressing tenderness between mother and son, had touched the conscience as well as the heart of the motherless boy. ���������'II' it wasn't flowers, 1 suppose it might be somothing else. JShe's as stiff and proper as a poker, and I suppose a boy might smile, and bow, and be polite all his life, and she'd never know but that he was cutting up some new kind of pranks. But, then, perhaps it's no wonder. She doesn't Iknow much about any boy but me. I guess she thinks all they're good for is to oarry mud in.on their shoes, and slam doors, and leave tho flyscreens open, und bo iato to moals. But, I 3ay |���������I've,a great mind to try Ned's way; that is, partly���������just for the fun off seeing how she'll fake it." With which determination Will , walked arounO the. bouse, to find his aunt approaching (he side door with a hnge tsnrcal iu her arms. At any other time he would not have troubled him- HIGH COLLARS SrOIL BEAUTY. Artists assert that the high collarn now worn by young women have destroyed the pose of the head and the lines of the neck.

From an artistic standpoint there has been a .considerable change in the ideal of feminine, beauty during recent years, _:.:d a comparison of paintings of woman by old masters and by modern artists show; a surprising difference, so far oa the heck is concerned.

The cultivation of fruit trees along the high roads of France is being extended year by year. Following the example of the Government, the communes in certain departments adopted,' lhe praotico aa a sort of revenue, arid now it hns become an important branch of national industry. In Germany, Belgium and the Duchy of Luxemburg also the system is being rapidly developed. Las>t year the fruit harvest from the roa/ls' of Wurtemburg amounted to more than 8600,000 as compared with $200,000 in 1878; for the Jnwt 13 years Saxony has gained a revenue of about $340,000. from the same source; and Belgium's three-quarters of a million fruit trees, planted along the roads iu 1894, now furnish $200,009.

Just.now the usual changes aro being wrung by the politicians oh ������������������capital' grinding labor," and for the ���������'tiun? honored purpose," tho deception of the electors. It is wpll'oiown to all that class of men, that a great manv laborers think i!" any man grows wealthy it is by some practiced fraud on labor, therefore, capital is ever grinding labor. There is no trouble in working any labor community at, any time into fever heat on this question ; find it is, '' therefore, indulged in by'"the artful politician, for the grist it may bring to his mill. There is no questioning the fact that in long settled mctustrinl localities, where the same' families for generations have followed the same industrial calling, the majority of workmen are unacquainted with any other occti- cpsition, even if there was anything else to do, and are without the means to locate themselves elsewhere should opportunities be presented, labor under such conditions is but too often at the mercy of capital. In all such cases protecting legislation is necessary in order that the laboring closses may be treated to a. measure oT justice; but wherever the cry in reality has force, the circumstances must be similar. Of this the artful politician is fully cognizant, but as a declaration of the facts will not .suit his purpose they are scrupulously kept from public consideration. In this: country the conditions are so different from those of the old countries that there is no comparison.5 If a miner, a carpenter, or a woodcutter in the Slocan cannot get the wages he, is looking for in his own particular calling^ there are a dozen'..or more other things waiting to which he can turn his hand at reasonable remuneration. If, for instance, miners cannot get the wages; they desire a dozen or so of them can take what they can save in a year say, put their combined savings into .'supplies,'' take up a. prospect and work it; and if there are all the profits in.mine owning, indiscriminately, there are alleged'.to be, they will have no trouble in coming on top themselves. .'-These are some of the unmistakable proofs that there can be no corner, or intentional hardships, imposed by capital on labor in this country. While labor is in excess of employes it can never be ground by capital. There,are some, again, who believe that restricting acts, such ns our eight-hour law, .are always serviceable to labor.. Tins in practice is a delusion. There ia absolute necessity for every precaution being taken to see that workings are safe for life and limb. Legislation to this end is absolutely necessary in every country; but there the. services'of legislation end. The shortening of hours diminishes production, and with the latter follows diminished payment. This is a law of the industrial world and follows as certain as night follows day. Laws may he passed prohibiting the-itnportation of 'a certain class of labor; but when labor of any line over crowds any given country' it is always in search of another where opportunities are better, and it will'nnd that other country and settle there no matter what may be the legal restrictions against it. It is a universal law of nations that migration backwards and forwards cannot be interfered, with���������that, in a- word,. people cannot be debarred from removing to any country of their choice and actt- . ling there. If yon attempt.to exclude miners the men will come in a������ farmers, and once iu they can engage in any calling of their choice. The only thing then that can be done for labor in any line is to see, as we have said above, that life and limb arc protected and that,'the resources of the country , are properly opened up so that the demand is kept abreast of tbe supply. It is true that artificial means of a passing nature may be employed, lasting for a time, in the line of protection; but they eventually pass away before the gre(H law of equalization, and leave, matters subject to the operations, the world over, cf supply and demand. ta&j&j&ts JDsic o %^' We -itllL-lumw thf toil nnd h ii-d.-'ihi tint ll-.oii* who nnili-3 tlie ''tst.ili' of LiiVuiHlt'i'.-i'.

It requires but little discernment to fully understand this. V1- '*; One would think from the reading of the Silvertonian, in case of a three- cornered contest in this division, that both Mr. Green and the Martin candidate are pure to be elected, and the Conservative candidate will be defeated only because of the support of The Review. Our confrere has come to the ���������conclusion that nothing will take so well with the miners',and theirfriends as trickery and deception, and a good, solid dose of both. \ Mr. Cotton; is .'Mr. Green's ideal of a leader, and yet there is proof that that gentleman���������Mr. Green's leader, mind you���������was willing to enter a coalition with Mr. Turner and. throw over the eight-hour law, the boon to the people for which Mr. Green seeks re-election. The Review believes in hiding nothing, in deceiving no one but giving all the unvarnished .facts, let the consi-qucnces.be what they may: Mr. Wm. Davidson, a strong unioii man, ,properly put it at the.Liberal meefing here the other night, iii saying,'"both Liberal arid Conservative leaders are disposed to make . changes in the eight-hour law to meet the;ne'M:ls of the country." Joe Martin's minister of mines at '.Rossland said he always knew changes could be made in it for the benefit even of the miners, and Mr. Green's ideal premier, Mr. Cotton, was willing even to repeal the law altogether for a longer lease, of his portfolio. ..-'With air these facts before it, The Review has no hesitation in saying that no matter what party carries the country changes.in the eight-hour law are bound to come, and for so saying it is declared by the philosophers who wax their muetachios and part their hair in the middle to be the arch enemy of the country. We leave time to show who is telling the truth and whether or not the truth is tlie best for the people. The Payatreak in its usual crook and twist ftyle tries to make it appear that -.so had reference to Dr. Gomm and am-ther, mentioned in that print, in .our.article.of a fortnight ago re Coeur d'Alene rioters becoming citizens, In its charge it says that neither of these gentlemen;'- were ever in the Coeur d'Alene, which,".to a sensible being, would be'sufficient reason for leaving their names out Of the quetion, that is if he can rely on his' own'word. We did not mean what we said to apply to every one happening to take out" citizenship papers, but only those known. or suspected''Bunker llill rioters, who had to leave their country; if, indeed, men of, that stamp���������the Boyce^sample ���������can be said' to owe allegiance to any country. Men of tho professions are not likely to be found among the destroy era of property:and the print, if it has wit, knows that we had no reference to those it numed. .'" n, ' Our friend, the Houstonian print at Nelson, concludes that because "the business men of Nelson who are not politicians" are beginning to feel the labor trouble and its consequences are noty-'what the doctor drdered" and should cease, business ought to resume at once in its old time form. Does the print know that a sore and its.consequences are likely ever-to'remain'-as long as the cause exists? Let those , t ... "business men who are not politicians"! join a movement to remove the cause of the present trouble, and stick to the task till the cause is removed, arid pur, ills will end. Tlie owners all feel that. unnecessary hardships were forced on them that were never asked for by the men, and onlv to make votes for the tin-horn politicians ; that they prevent. low grade properties from being worked and capital from coming in to work new,properties, This naturally created a certain amount of hostility in the owners; the consequence is hostility m the men; Now it may be news to tlie print, but it is none the less a fact, that Hud THE ullyi are dangerous; they weaken the constitution, inflame the lungs, and often lead to Pneumonia. Cough syrups are useless. The system must be given strength and force to throw off the disease. will do this, it strengthens the lungs and builds up the entire system.

The Silvertonian says the unions of th.e district owe much to Mr. B.. I?, Green, and for.what the people are very anxious to know? Is it for assuring the people in his,previous election platform that ho would 'submit allcon- templated changes in' the mining liiws to the people before they became law ? or for voting against'thc eight-hour law in committee? or for urging the government not to enforce it after it became law ? or for allowing the amendment to be,made oh the third reading through inattention, to what was. before the House? The people; wouUA like to know; for which one of these positions, for Mr. Green took them all, the unions have so much to thank that gentleman. Will the Silvertonian, itself, say for which position the country owes, the most to Mr. Green? The public really want light on this matter. ��������� Joe.Mart in tells us he is the great champion of "the initiative" and "the referendum." What is meant by the initiative is the passage of a law by a government when asked so to do by any considerable section of the people, and the referendum means the submission of such law to the whole people when passed for acceptance or rejection. It is possible he may give us the referendum on the eight-hour law lifter the elections, as he says he will; but, pray, when had we, the initiative? When wa-, the government asked to pass that law by a petition from any section of the people?

Roll oni the time when we can get them cheaper." < TOUCHING LITTLE STORY. I went into one house, writes a cor-S poral with the Northanrptons at Mod- der River,, and found, a nice,'comfortable house completely shattered. Evu deutly ��������� well-to-do people had lived . here. One room' in (particular took my eye, and that was what had evidently been a little child's room. There were a lot of toys and small cups and Baucers, dolls, etc., and I found an envelope with): this on it���������"This Vis my dear grandmamma's hair," and inside there w-as a. lock of. hair, now trodden under foot. All these -c things, I. thought, were a tritle touching. In the front room was a dead Boer stretched out on the table'. "A PARADISE FOR WASHERWO- :"..:���������,:- -���������.' MEM." .' .��������� Sorgt .Wilson, of the Howitzer Battery, writes from Modder River to his parents at Northampton: "We bathe '; now every day and wash our own clothes. Like the poor lodger Dickens wrote about, we go half, naked while we swill our shirts. This would be a paradise for Washerwomen with the sun shining, and wind blowing nearly every day. Our th-ings are drj to put on a lew minutes after they are washed. That is.tha one remarkable thing "about the climate. You may get soakbd to the skin and go to sleep in the open air all night, but in tine morning you may wake up as fresh as a daisy.'' y ;' HE REFUSED TO SURRENDER. Corpl. S. Miller, 2nd Devons, writing , to friends in the Isle of Wight after ��������� the'T.ugela battle, says; "Our regiment went down close to the river, but it was impossible to. get across under suchl a heavy fire. The, bullets were falling around us like a hailstorm, and it is miraculous how a man of us lived to tell "the tale. Tnere was a battery of artillery on our right, and I believe nearly every man and horse were shot; They had to leave the guns to whlich we were, the support. Our colonel, Col.Bulloek, a major, and about 20 of. our'men were made prisoners, and the Boers hit the colonel down with a ri le because he refused . to surrender. We. did not get the order to retire too ^soon, as our men were falling fast. Our casualties in killed, wounded and missing number 113, and there were, some other regiments with heavier losses, especially the Dublins." , PLAYING 'POSSUM WITH THE . BOERS. Surgeon-Lieut.' (Briscoe, -describing his experience at the battle of Colen- so, when attached to a mounted' regiment formed of Imperial Light Horse, Natal Carbiniers, King's Royal Rifles, and Natal Police, says: "We were told off to. take a kopje held by the Boers on this side of the river, a mile or two below Colenso. I had no business In the firing line, but I thought I could drop back ut any time, if necessary. We got a heavy volley from a rise to the right, and-another immediately from the top 501) yards off, and from the slopes. We all dropped flat. Well, no, one gave us orders,-and we lay on. By-and-by Capt. Bottornley, I. L. H., passed the word, IHow aro Thorueycroft's getting oh on the .right?' I tried to pass it along, but could get no answer. 1 didn't realize ���������tor the moment why; I hadn't heard groans. Then a nian in the rear said, 'Doc, you're wanted. There's a man hit on your right.' I ruse up to move and looked around; but whiz, whiz, vvhiz I���������now by my head, now nil round, one almost grazing amy left calf and plunging into the ground��������� and I saw I could do nothing. So I flung imyself forward, and 'played possum,' so successfully that the Boera loft too alone, and some of our own men reported me hit." BOBRS DON'T LIKE LANCES. One of the 12th Lancers, writing from- Modder Riliver, says: "The Boers won't give us a chance to get a proper scrape with them; directly they soo us they gel. on thoir horses. We caught some tho other day, and one said: 'It is not lair to fight with' long Bticks with steel on the end!'" "HEART-SICKEN1NO SIGHT." "It was a heart-sickening sight," continues Miller, "to sec them carrying away the wounded, some minus arms, others legs; and the Boers even fired shells at our ambulance and wounded some of the poor fellows a seoond time. ,- Our naval guns blew up . the T.ugela bridge, so that the enemy cannot got. away those guns we' wero obliged to leave on the field on Friday." '������������������������������������;��������� IFADLING ASLEEP UNDER FIRE, Writing home from-Modder River, a private In the 2nd Coldstream Guards says; "X have been through three battles up **������ now without a scratch. . . . .Nobody has any idea of a battlefield, only those who go through it. It is something aw,ul to see the de-ad and wounded.' You, might not credit it, but it's as true, as l'mi alive tli-.it at Modder River 1 saw men lall asleep in the tiring line, fairly worn out. We were lying in the hot sand for twelve hours without drink or food and the boat was unbearable. My company got lost at night, and wo had to sleep in laager among rocks and stones, and aiuiongsf tho dead 1:11 morning. I oiten thought of homo and the children." HOW AMBULANCE MEN WORK. Mr. Charles iBoaon Cuplb, late of Cardiif, now of tho Volunteer Ambulance Corps, serving in Natal, writes to his brother of T.ugela and after. Ilo says: "The heap touts were soon up ready lor the wounded. ' By. ' this time the -.battle of Trugela hiid commenced. Iu was not lung be.oro, the ambulance wagons stari.cd, and iu |4.wo and a hal- or three hours they Teturned loaded with wounded, iollow- ed by men who wero able' to come in by themselves, as they were wounded oiily sl.gh'Jy. Char wounded were brought in- on stretchers, - aud mora were carr.ed in on the clasped hands and arms of two comrades. Theso bearers were done up,-but they ke.pt on, bravely; they were helping their comrades. A.:ter a while about a dozen ol. us started out and went to the top 6i, the h.ll. ,. The Boers opened a terr.ble ri le, fire upon them then, and the men began lall-ng by the dozen. In the 'midst o.i this my section was called' upo-n. We started to'go; torward, and scon came across lots Ot wounded. Same who were so badly h'lt that they could hardly stand were hilp.ng others, and when we oV.fered to help, re- pl.ed, 'No,, no, my -lads. Lower down you'll and hundreds, who cannot move.'" KEEPING TIP-APPEARANCES. The desire to makethe best appearance possible does not always come from an undue amount of pride,: but often because it pays financially to appear prosperous. It is the way of the world that nothing.succeeds like success. For instance, a yoaug doctor, lawyer or merchant is more likely to be successful if he lives in good style, than if every o<ne knows that he'finds it hard to meet his bills. His house must be a good one, elegantly furnished, while he' and his wife are dressed nicely at all times, and how to do this without-going, in. debt becomes an important question. The strictest eoonomy must be exercised in every department. It is necessary while providing the table with good food to see thut nothing is wasted. The furniture and carpets must have the best care1 in order to make them look like new and prolong their usefulness. There is no part of the housework, however, where bo much can be accomplished by good management, as in buying and making the family wardrobe. The remnant counters and special sales at the large dry goods houses give one'an excellent opportunity to lay in a supply of the best material at greatly reduced prices. Thero has never been a time when so many women were dispensing with the help of the dressmaker and learning to make their dresses themselves, which saves many dollars every year. The excellent paper patterns which we can buy so cheaply, are a great help, and women succeed wonderfully well in producing costumes which in,fit and general appearance are equal to those made by the best modisto. ' Fashions change so quickly that it, is impossible to wear a dress out before it becomes a "back number," hence it becomes necessary to make them over.' Even in tho best regulated households, thero are always some cast-off garments, which may be .used in this way. In these days of combinations and varieties there aro few things that cannot be made serviceable as trimmings or to assist in composing costumes which handy women now develop out of two or throe different materials. If it cannot,bo used in its present guise, ono or two packages of dye will change it to any color you wish, and it will .begin a new nra of usefulness. The dye should bo dissolved in soft water and a porcelain kettle used in doing the work,-which if given time and attention, cannot fail to be satisfactory. Get a good quality of lininpr, new stiffening and binding, nnd pay as much attention to tho details of. tho work as if (he goods wero new. i-faking a skirt over was a difficult 'prchlcm a few years ago, but it has become comparatively simple now, although they are worn much longer than formerly. Fortunately flounces and ruffles are popular, for with their aid, the skirt may .bo made the regulation' length., A very handsome skirt of cadet blue cloth was lengthened by piecing out the lining and the outside material and neatly pressing the seams. Black braid was put on1 tho bottom in a pretty pattern, with two straight rows above it. This made a handsome finish, and effectually covered all tbo piecing. The tunic or overskirt is the latest style, and o-ne of the best, for made-over skirts. They nvo usually made with very little, if any fulness in the back, and pointed or scalloped at the bottom, which falls over a skirt of velvet, satin or lw.nvy woolen material, quite, plain, or over one or more silk or woolen flounces. Handsome effects are'often produced by using t'ie best parts of two old skirts which harmonize in color. STRANGE INDEED. McJiggor-Thal's a funny thing.

In a moment the big uaval guns in the Cove, redoubt and at Caesar's Camp got to work. Fast as they could be served they rained projectiles on Bulwana, >and in five minutes the derrick was smashed by a well directed shell. How we cheeredl .Their the, Boors, dodged along the ridge, trying td.'drag dheir "Long Tom,"; but the naval gunners followed them, pla-nttng- their shells with deadly precision.

Suddetily( the dazzling sun, w-as, obscured by heavy black clouds, which broke loose in, a treniendp.us thunder stortn.; Torrents of raim, volleys of thunder and vivid lightning broke over the whole region., checking the operation ofour guns. Half an hour later the storm passed aiivd. our navy, 'guns broke out agan.ru, sweeping the ridge between Bulwana. and Caesar's Camp, where the Boers were still struggling with their Lo^g Tom.

In the midst * of this Lord Dundonald with a large force of cavalry entered the town. The whole night was spent i'n rejoicing.

Tho . cotrnplotion of tho telegraph frotn the Indian Ocean to Victoria Nyi- anza puts tho world in communication with the sources of the Nile. The telegraph has been completed to Ripoh- Falls, whf.ch is tho exact-point where the White Niile leaves the lake. One' '61 the most useful results of. this enterprise will be that the people of lower Egypt will bo able to tell what'the water, conditions of the lower Nile will be for months in advance. This information will give most desirable, guidance in regulating' the quantity to be taken frornr tha Nile for1 irrigation purposes. Many occasions have arisen when information as to the stage*of the water iri tha upper NCle would have been worth millions of dollars to lower Egypt. . , ,,''.-.' The cable does not yet touch at, Monnbasa. which is.the.sea end of this land line. Despatches from' Victoria Nyanza (must therefore be sent by steamer, to be put on the cable at Zanzibar, which will delay*rorwarding messages lor several days, Thus it happens that' the news uf the) completion of the line to the lake was! not received in this city for a week after it occurred.. Five years ago, when the building of this line ana the railroad alongside of it: was begun, the shortest time in which news from; the lake could roach Europe, was about four ���������months. " The report of Sir Guilford Moles- worth, tho consulting engineer, published in July last, showod that the survey of the route finally adopted for the railroad had been eompleted clear to the lake. Tho railroad was built and in operation from the- sea to Kiu, a distance of 27t) males inland, and between that point aud Angata-el-geik, 3!>'J miles in the interior, the road was in course of construction. The railroad is to terniinato at Port. Florence, at: tho e.vtiomo .northeast corner of Victoria Nyanza instead of boing extended about sixtyo males farther west to Port' Victoria, as was at first contemplated. Probably three years will yet elapse before tho completion of the railroad. The first, telegraph'completed t.o^tho Central African lakes was that to Blanlyre, in the Nyassa highlands, and as it. is connected with the cable on tho Portuguese coast communications between Lake Nyassa and Europe are promptly delivered except when the land line is.out of order, as occasionally happens.

AFTER CRONJE'S SURRENDES THB SUPPLY IS AGAIN SAFE. TUo Star of Soiilli Al'rlcii���������Vn������mci>������ or lUo 0 rrecloiiHSIimc 1'lln Wlilcb. Cecil lUioite* , - Conlmis. With Kimberley relieved. Cronjp surrendered, and Cecil Rhodea once more at liberty, the resumption of tho industry of diamond digging in South'i Africa is likely to be even! now under way. For Kimberley has the greatest known diamond deposit of the world, and its hidden wealth ia too precious to bo allowed to remain^ long unexploited. Up 1<> the beginning of the present century nearly ' all , diamonds . came from1 India. Then great numbei-3 woro found in; Brazil, but not until after tho discovery of diamonds in South' Africa, in 1807, were 'the atones found, in vast quantities. That year a Dutch' farmer, who lived near what are now. known as the great diamond fields) got iroini a native a bright stone that hia chldreu were ., using 'as a plaything. The stone was sent' to Cape Town and was there recognized as a diamond o������ exceptipnial value. It was forwarded to the Paris Exposition.and there sold for ������2,500. . From that time on tha ��������� diamond lever 8%vept through South AJrica. Two years later a beautiful stone was found which weighed eighty-three carats. It ��������� was called tha "Star of South Africa," and sold for SWJ.OOO. ; , , ! Up to this time the diamonds had been found in the, sand near the- Orange'and Vaal rivers. In 1870. how. ever, it was suddenly reported that groat pockets oi hard earth filled with uiainonds had been, xound on a plateau north oi the Orange: r.ver. Tud diamond hunters il���������okeJ to the new f.elds and lound that'in that region of the plateau, uuoer its layer o- red sand, were groat ' p pes" or tunnels through which, ati soaio ancient time, boiling lava j.lowed from tho heart of tha earth. These p.pes were illled with a' hard foluj.sh deposit, called "biua ground," that evidently had been ioro- ed to the suri'uce by volcanic action and irom a great aepth. In olhe* words, these p.pes were craters oj. extinct volcanoes. THE FAMOUS GEM PITS. The vast diamond pits at Kimbor- ley: are in the largest andl meet valuable of the craters. The larger, ol these pita is probably the greatest holo ever, uug by -mail. It is oJO j.eot deep and has an area ox thirteen acres. Numbers oi: diagonal shafts lead from the suriac'e to the bottoint of the-pit,- and up and down these sha-ia urts passing continually traiin-cars. ��������� The..'.- business of these cars ia tci carry tha blue ground up to tho "iloors," where it is dumped and le-t to soften in tha sun and rain, lo-r the blue ground is al- '��������� most us hard as sandstone when; tak-- en out, . By the combined e-fect hi water and suukght it gradually aoat- ens. .--.-..��������������������������� The floors are nothing more than great tracts oi land that have been cleared of vegetation and have boon then rolled to make them as hard and smooth as .possible. Each Oi these llbors is OIK) acres in. extent. After ono of them has been covered to a depth ... a:'a foot w-ith blue grouud. ; Now the diamonds have become gems that may be exposed lor sale, so they are taken into tho salesroom and spread out on sheets of white paper, heaps and hoaps of therm, "of: all sizes, colors and sh.ipes. The diamonds are all careiully valued, according to weight and purity and are sold. Next they go to the diamond cutters, who work on them Tor .days and days, cuffing-vaixous sides on them- and'pol- ishilng ih2m until they look like stars. In thin cutting process it o.ton hail- pens that a.diajiuohd will be reduced to b<ik its original weight. In the diamond mines proper all pos-������������������', si'ble precaulions ara taken to keep the workmen Irom ste-tling the gcins. The ,��������� laborers are constantly watched by... ���������; trustworthy overseers, and' at night- .... they'aro stripped of their clotbeu and THEIR BODIES SKARCHED. : Then they aro sent naked to their sleeping rooms, where blankota arfj allowed them-. Of course this applies i<> tho natives, as tin*, onlyi white men employed in handling the blue irrouud are in the assorting room. It is said that some lifted! r'ons of precious stones have been taken irom (lu* Kimberley district since 1H70. In conducting the business of the Kirn- berloy mine 1,800 i'luropeans and 5,700 natives are eiuployod. Tho workmen are paid high wagos and every' laborer on the "iloors" is paid a ptrwmlago on all tho diamonds ho linds while h������r-, rowing tho blue ground. Diamond cuiling and polishlaig is a very diificult process, which is dona almost entirely by hand. The stones are polished by rubbing two, each on. the other, ur by rubbing them' with.a polishing \>heel that is covered with diamond powder!;' it is a casa of "diamond cut diamond." When it is necessary to cut: :i valuable piece Irom a stone, iron .w-irea'covered with diamond powder are used. The fp.oots, ox> dii- terent. sides are formed by 'this rubbing process, which is a very slow, and- laborious one. A stone weighing, say; twenty carats, will,req.iii*Pe at leant four or f.'.vo months of co-istant work to reduce it to the proper forth'. A1 diamond about the size of a small pea will weigh over a carat. DEFINED. Teacher���������Lewis, can yan define poll* tics? Lewis, at eleven.���������Yes, m'nm.
