London, .Nov. 18.���������Lord Salisbury's Guidhall speech must have been a keen disappointment to those prophets who foretold a (spirited announcement that -would' send the blood thrilling proudly once more through English veins. - Nevertheless), the speech struck tho true note of English public opinion on the most critical of questions troubling England just now, viz.: Her relations with France on the Nile and on the Niger, \"England in not greedy, not eager to paint the map provocatively red, but we cannot allow our plain rights to be overridden.\" There certainly was more Lord Salisbury than Mr. Chamberlain in this un ig- gressive line. The French press, keeping up its idea of the British cabinet being divided into Salisbury and Chamberlain sections, takes it calmly some even 'interpreting Lord Salisbury's words as'mainly intended to keep his too impulsive English followers quiet, while arranging matters with M. Hanotaux, the French foreign minister. The Times maintains that the retention of the right bank of the Niger aud the rulers of Sokota, Gando, Boussa, Nikki, and other states, maps Of which were published here for the first time this week, clearly seem to leave France no valid claim on these countries on the basis of prior treaties. The'English claim is particularly clear in Boussa or Borguc. \"It can hardly have any other ending than the French recall of Lieut. Bretonnet and the force of Seuegals. The real gravity of the situation arises from the hysteria of the aggressive JFrcnch colonial . party, which clings to the susceptible French public opinion and may imperil the life of any ministry which withdraws even from this proved aggression. This element leads the belief that the commission now sitting in Paris will prove as futile as previous negotiations, and then m&.y come tho opening for arbitration as regards the Nile. \" Reported presence of French officers at Fnslioda, between Kartoum and Wadelia, has reawakened fears which Sir Colin Scott Moncriuff excited three years ago, when he explained how a civilized nation on the upper Nile might flood Egypt, or cut off its water supply at pleasure. This close relationship between the prosperity of Egypt'and the control of the whole Nile from Victoria Nyauza to the Mediterranean is a powerful argument in the hands of the advocates of the \"Forward Policy.\" The English public is clearly growing very uneasy at the persistence of Indian outbreaks. The heroism of the Sikhs, the Gordon Highlanders and the Northamptonshire regiment was splendid, but the question is forcing itself painfully upon public attention, what goocLcan follow this terrible waste of the best British blood on the Afghan frontiers. munication with tho Yukon, were settled in n friendly manner. Naturally the Premier will discuss ,other matters, as for cxn .nple tho abolition by the two countries of tin? duties on coal, lumber, barley, eggs,fish, potatoes and hay. It would, however, be a mistake to suppose that the Premier intends to e-en up our tariff question in a general way, or as he has suggested, to extend British preference in our tariff to the United States. The tariff has been settled and manufacturers feel the assurance thuf capital invested in manufactories is safe. The World connects Premier Laur- ier's visit with the former commercial union, speeches in parliament and Boston, and also connects with it Far- rer's presence in Washington. It says that Premier Laurier's presence smacks of hypocrisy and that ultimately he will have to deal with a congress composed of British haters, tail- twisters, diplomatic sharks, and political bunco men. We havo had dealings with them before in a nation. The United States is out of the diplomatic code It has claimed the privileges and practices of a gipsy horssfcnuler. and as Sir Wilfred has gone into the camp of his own election he must abide the result. Even if they agreed to everything he sought, does he think they will carry any of it out ? Sir Wilfrid needs to be cured once for all, and wo believe he will be effoctually- cured of his \"Washington tendencies\" at an early date. The Mail and Empire claims that the Globe in its statement that Hon Joseph Chamberlain, secretary for the colonies, proposed absolute free trade in the empire is a misrepresentation of the facts, and cites its statement on September 8 that Mr. Chamberlain ex prossly declined to make any proposal, ft also cites the imperial blue book and says Premier Laurier's Washington visit shows that he deceived Great Britain so as to get the treaties announced in o'-der to be able to treat with Washington.

Louisville, Ky., Nov. 15.���������The morning session of the general assembly of the Knights of Labor was devoted to ���������the- discussion of the report of the committee on 'emigration. It was the prevailing sentiment that some vigorous steps should be taken to restrict immigration, and statistics were presented showing that nearly ten million foreign laborers had come to this country during the last 23 years,which, it was declared, worked a'hardship on the American workman. The report that Past General Master Workman Sovereign had stepped down and out because he desired to fix his fences for the presidency on a labor reform ticket in 1900 was vigorously denounced on all sides. To meet the popular demand for information upon the subject of the gold fields of Northern' Canada, Messrs. Allan, the well-known shipowners whose name is a household word throughout Canada, have issued a bright up-to-date pamphlet dealing with the mineral wealth of Canada, and the lar Northwest. Naturally ELlondyke and the rich auriferous deposits of the Yukon Valley receive considerable attention. The intending prospector is advised how to reach the gold fields, and when to make tho journey, and an interesting account is given of the other varied resources of this region. Messrs. Allan, however, wisely advised the emigrants not to neglect the more settled areas of the Dominion. The recent discoveries of gold, silver and copper in Ontario, Ivootenay and Cariboo are all touched upon, while due prominence is given to the more prosaic, but perhaps more tangible competencies to be acquired from following agricultural pursuits in Manitoba or British Columbia. Thirty thousand dollirs was divided among tho lucky owners of the Whitewater mine in this city on Nov. 15. Two thousand was placed in the working fund anp about 35,000 carried forward. This brings the total dividends to date very near the 5100,000 mark, Ninety-four thousand dollars is th ��������� exact aniont divided to date. Calculating the 36 cars upon which returns had not been made on the day (ho dividend was paid, the Whitewater's profits at that date, exclusive of the money in the sinking fund, amounted to $130, 000. These unreported shipments will go into the next dividend, to be declared on December loth. The Whitewater is now shipping two October 45 cms went to the smelter and in the present month 24 cars had been sent out up to tho 15th.

The thieves made no resistance wh\"ii arrested, and, as they had all the stolen horses with them, the whole outfit was taken back to Kninlooi's by the officers, and Constables Dinsmore and Lawder returned to their respective posts of duty.

In speaking of his trip on the Slocan lake, he says : \"A short rail journey to Roscbery and the Slocan, the fastest boat on the route, takes you down the Slocan lake to New Denver, Silverton and Siocan City. To describe the gorgeous beauties of Slocan lake scenery one would require the pen of a lluskin at least (and 1 hardly think I can lay my hand just at the moment on the article), but 1 heard an Irishman on the boat singing '\"Killarney,\" and the words of the song were not inappropriate.

How far Sir Wilfred 'Will Treat- on It at Washington. , Toronto, Nov. 15.���������The Globe this '. morning referring to Washington negotiations makes the authoratitive statement that.the arrangement was made by Great Brit.iin, the United States and Canada that Premier Laurier and Sir Louis Davies should be present and thatthb various international questions pending, two of which, the American cattle quarantine and postal com- ,Thf concert given in Spencer's hall, on Saturday evening last, by Miss Marrack supported by ��������� Miss Harry Watson and Sammy Johnson, was well attended. The ...entertainment consisted of piano solos and., duett's (in. which the,ladies showed 'good execution and style),songs and dances. Miss Marrack possesses a well-cultivated, contralto voice and gave several selections in good style. Miss Watson is a good entertainer and in,her Spanish and Hawaiian songs her pleasing soprano voice showed to effect. But it was in their duetts the ladies were heart! to the best advantage, their voices blending so harmoniously. In his Negro comedies little Sammy Johnson mack: a decided hit. The precocious youth gives great promise as a public entertainer. By.: way of comment wo';' might \"siiy that the company made two mistakes, the first in advertising as a ''Variety\" when there was none of that element, and second, in giving a Sunday entertainment���������the town being now past that stage. . ' The fixing of Thanksgiving Day on November 25th in order that it may harmonize with the American anniversary, and so cause as little bother to business interests as possible, is being sharply criticized. The complaint is made that it i-, too late in the season, October being a much better month for the purpose thaw November. It is pointed out, and with force, that there is no more reason that tho Canadian celebration should fall on the same clay as tho American thai-i there is that Dominion Day should be shifted from the first of July to the fourth. A great many propositions have been made regarding this anni- 'versary. in some quarters it is urged that the date should be fixed permanently instead of being allowed to remain a movable one ; in others that it should be done away with altogether, these latter giving as their reason for this attitude that of late years much of the original significance of the day has been lost sight of.' Others again want the celebration held on the.same day in both tlie States and Canada, not only because this moans less annoyance to the business..world, but because it enables holiday travellers to points on either side of the border .to take advantage'of the cheap railroad rates. It is none of our business to enquire minutely into tho secrets of the Grit party or the Tory fraternity either.as we arc not of either of them; but it appears strange to us that after the Liberal convention of Now Westminster some weeks ago deciding Mr. Tcmnlc- ton should have the Lieut-Governorship of this province, tho Ottawa government has given it to Senator Mclnnes.' Tefuur ftiini'j-tlnA'e is just as much necessity for Lieutenant Gov- crnois as there is for two tails on a dog; but why governments will pay no attention to the will of the people in the matter of incumbents, while they are retained, is the mystery. This is only another proof governments ought to bo taught lessons by the people. The late- Tori government played ducks aud drakes with tho patronage at will as if it were their own personal property, disregarding wholly tho choice of the people, and the present government is following in the footsteps of its predecessors. A good offhand snubbing would tench those gentlemen an offhand lesson. They know, or ought to be taught, they are only public servants to do the will'of tho people, and not autocrats by appointment like the Czar of Puss ia, to trample on public wishes, and carry out their own behests.

The Local government has guaranteed the bonds of the Nakusp and Slocan Railway to the extent of $647,- 072, and gets in return as part payment 40 percent, of the gross earnings of the road.- This per centage for the year, ending 30th of June last, .\\vas.but_ $11,266.13. which, would place the entire earnings at $2S,- 165.32. Now, any one with any knowledge of railroad business could readily say the total earnings, of this road for any year are more than that; but the discrepancy arises from estimating the earnings on the long haul basis, that is freight from here to Nfikusp, for instance, is estimated pro rata, as if destined for Montreal, and passenger rates the same, when, in fact they are three times as much. Considered lrom any point of view the R. R. Co. drew the wool over the eyes of the government in making this bargain. The only thing that gives the government any degree of'security, in this transaction is the right ta collect from the Federal government the $3,200 a mile given by that House. This, however, as a total amounts to but $118,400 while the government has guaranteed principal and interest on the full amount of the bonds.

This should be re-adjusted as the population must now be nearly-50,000 more than that entitling us to about $40,000 a'year more from the Federal government. Some years ago there was a re-adjustment of our revenue on debt account by which we now receive $29,151116 a year more than we did then; and we are just as much entitled to an increase on per capita account. All told the province is now responsible for an annual payment of $94,- 853 on guarantees���������three of them for railway and six of them of diainage and irrigation debentures. It is a mark of an enterprising government to assist in the growth and development of its charge in this way, but discretion should .be used. For instance .we know of no reason why a guarantee of 4 per cent, interest and all principal should be given for any enterprise much less that of a promising railway, as money can be got in England for all such enterprises at 3 per cent. To use a vulgarism, charter- mongers have in the past got the \"Kyebosh\" over the eyes of B.

There seems to be nothing left to do It is a wonderful surprise and eye- opener to a������rough westerner, yet the people, even of old-England, could learn something from Americans, as we are usually called t :cre. As I landed at Liverpool I was first impressed with the solidity, and finish of the city; next with the park-like appearance of the country. O, land of love and dreamy thoughts, And shining, fields and shady shotsi Of coolest, greenest, grassy plots Embossed with wild for-get-me-nots. Even now, it all seems like a dream to me. Yet it was no dream; it was a reality. It appeared to me aa a vast garden clotted with shade trees, and the small well-cultivated fields, enclosed with deep green, neatly trimmed hedges, were beautiful. The remain der of my days,'I do not expect will be long enough to admit nie teillng of all that impressed. The people everywhere I went were kind. Ifound them hospitable and charming in their homes. lFrom what I knew of some English people in Canada, and -from what I heard of Englishmen in particular, I expected -to find them cold, stand-offish snobbish, and unapproachable altogether. In this regard I was agreeably disappointed, for figuratively speaking, I was received.with open arms everywhere. There is so much to talk about this trip of my life, that in a few letters it can only be scantily done. Further, it could not help but fill my heart more full with honest pride for British Columbia, because I have gazed on the scenery of these lands, that hundreds of thousands of tourists rave about annually. Our history practically is just commencing. Do you ever imagine what the hand of men will have accomplished 1,000 years hence ? Do you remember British Columbia 10 years ago? Did you visit Kootenay five years ago, and walk through her forests primeval, where scarcely a sound, except the roaring of waters, and the wild birds' merry tone could be heard ? Do you remember Vancouver 11 years ago, as the great trees were falling to make ruom for the city of to-day? Then think of the marvellous change. Many up-to-date busy cities now mark the places where God's thick forest grew. History ! why, our history has yet to be written. It has been followed through the press of, our Province only, and even to the most diligent reader our progress is too swift to be understood. There are new developments every clay. A big find usually decides a townsite location in a night. The thundering falls of the Kootenay river are now be harnPssed to furnish power and light for Kootenay mines, cities and towns Five years ago it was an easy matter to write about all our mining development.

(Continued from Page 2.) ly, and 16 weekly newspapers printed in West Kootenay alone, and their columns are regularly filled, chiefly with mining news. On the other hand, it io most interesting in the \"old world,\" to see what man accomplished; to -risit battle-field; elegant palaces, old castles and towers; to muse by the statues of our dead heroes, and ponder over the history of centuries in Westminster Albey and St. Paul's cathdral. British Columbia is just now beginning to attract attention across the Atlantic. The Diamond Jubilee did a great deal to make Canada known in England; but the Klondyke excitement was the means of arousing the attention of all capitalists to the West. Thousands believed that the Klondyke strikes were made in British Colum- -bia; at any rate they found out some- - thing about our Province in looking up Klondyke, with its great alluvial gold deposits, just to the north of us. And now they will learn of the. wonderful development in British Colum- , bia gold, copper and silver quartz mines. They are yet generally very ignorant about the extent of British Columbia, and when told that it is seven times as large as England and two thirds larger than the German Empire, it is a great surprise to them. In this letter I only just refer to my trip abroad. In the following ones I have no intention whatever to copy from any of histories They need no boasting to increase their population; they Have no territory to explore;, and their population is increasing by leaps and bounds. Those who want to see the world, and can afford it, should by all means see the British Iiles and r 'France. I feel that [ had scarcely- known what life is, in all it phases, until I h-id seen these lands. There are millions of rich people, and which extremes in this respect meet. The poor are in the majority. We want the former to assist in opening up our vast mineral resources, covering many thousand square miles. Capital will make room for labor then we can offer employment to millions of the hardy toilers,, who now work long hours for small pay. Nothing but the truth need be told about British Columbia, and as soon as it is known across the - Atlantic we will have our innings. \" 1 must speak of conditions as I found them in Europe. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company are doing ten times more than all agencies combined to advertise British Columbia in the British Isles,'and they never get a thank you for it. They Are called a grasping monopoly ! True -while they are advertising our country they are making business for themselves; but the fact remains, that their agencies are practically the only ones that we have in Great Britain. In all the great cities I visited, from Glasgow, Scotland, southward through England, and over to Paris, they have secured, regardless of cost large offices in the heart of the countries. Their officials are all bright, farseeing men. They extend the glad hand to every man and women who step within their doors. Peter R. Richie, of Vancouver, was my travelling companion when we landed at Liverpool last June. Neither of us had a letter of introduction, or even a card to the Canadian Pacific officials there. ' We saw the familiar sign, at St. James street: and walked in. We will never forget the welcome we received. J. H. B. Evans, the manager is a veritable prince, and has hosts of friends. Through him we met many of Liverpool's foremost men, and, in a word, saw the best of Liverpool in a short time. It was like going into one of our best offices, for they had the latest news, and talked of Van-^ couver as if-it were Birkenhead, across the Mersey. The C. P. R. officials are ���������men acquainted with Canada, and they take a pride in proclaiming its advantages. I will have considerable to say .about the London and other offices later. Just allow me to end this letter ���������with a brief references to our own British Columbia. Cross the continent of America on Any railway you wish; then the Atlantic ocean, and see the old world in all its beauty, wealth and pomp and power, and you can more fully appreciate the beauty of our fair western Province. The Creator ha.s given us great lakes, and rivers, and harbors unsurpassed; lovely valleys, vast forests, and mighty mountains, whose summits cleave the sky, where the eternal green glaciers ever lie, in clouds and darkness, or glitter in the sunlight. Where high peaks aro clad in everlasting whiteness, or whore the glittering granite shines like gold in the Klondyke. We have nearly every variety of climate that can be wished for��������� even by women. Our rivers and lakes are teeming with fish; we possess, the largest coal deposits known, and precious minprals that are just now attracting the iattentionslof all nations. Just think of it. With all our resources and vast extent of territory our entire population is only about 150,000, less than one-fifth the population 'of the . City of London ! We are yet in our swaddling clothes. Comparatively few ���������Canadians have ever seen British Columbia; but they are talking about our \"sea of mountains\" from-the eastern foothills of the Rockies to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. They are talking about mountainous land beyond the Atlan: tic sea, 6,000 miles away,; in humble homes, and in the grand mansions of the largest city in the world. The year of 1898 will be record-breaking one in our young history. Many thousands are coming from abroad to Canada's Switzerland where they will remain, or outfit in Vancouver and Victoria and go farther northward. They are coming to seek fortunes, to give their toil and labor for our gold and silver ! They have purposed in their, hearts to become rich, and, although some will meet with disappointment, they will all have a treat,in store forthem. For if old England could secure Bome of the scenery that God has given us, and wall it in���������for they have no fences there���������she could readily get two shillings a minute from several millions of her people, just for the privilege of seeing-its granduer. They will see as they are carried over Canada's National highway, from the Red River of the north to the Rocky mountains, a glorious rolling and prairie land, and from where the great high mountain peaks first tower into the blue they will ride 600 miles westward, crossing and re- crossing great rivers, and mountain torrents, and skirting beautiful lakes, where, In their crystal deeps inverted Swings a picture of the sky. After they are carried through the bewildering panorama of mountains, in elegant railway coaches, they will, I am sure, admit that they have received full value for all the cost. And after engineering from the deep canyons of the treacherous Eraser into the broad open, as coming through the purple gates of morning, they will step ashore at bright Vancouver, the terminus, view the finest harbor in all America, feel the mild breeze from the Japan current, and perhaps first visit Stanley Park, to see its big trees 300 j feet high, and its tangled thicket, climbing moss and trailing vine, or one of the majestic white Empresses, as she lies, waiting for the hawsers to let her free, from Canada's western gateway, to crojs the broad Pacific.���������J.

Berlin, Nov. 13.���������The visit of Count Goiuchowsky, the minieter of foreign affairs to King Humbeit at Monza and its attendant circumstances, are regarded in German political circles as being of the highest importance. The Conservative and agrarian newspapers interpret the visit as meaning a closer understanding between Austro-Hun- gary and Italy, and a leaning of those two powers toward Great Britain. An old diplomat of Berlin, who belongs to one of the Dreibund powers said to the correspondent: \"Austria disproves of Emperor William's foreign policy as far as Fngland is, concerned, and the needless provocation of England contained in that famous message to President Kruger has been seriously, if silently, condemned by Austria^ statesmen. The same is true of Italy. Both Italy's and Austria's Mediterranean interested are of vast and far- reaching importance, and they cannot be suhierved so long as there is a latent antagonism against Italy as a feature of the dreibund policy. An entente closer than has ever existed has been established between Italy and Austria so far as their -Oriental and Mediterranean interests arr'concerned, and this means a consonance of their interests with England in that respect. To that extent then the dreibund has been weakened and Germany has been weakened and Germany has been left to follow her own oriental and colonial policy at the side of Russia and France. It does not mean the breaking up of the dreibund, but the ire-shaping of interests to some extent outside of it.\" The official newspapers are silent on the subject, but the editor of one of the leading government papers said : \"We are still waiting for our cue from above.\"- Thc Deacon's Prayer for Rain.

The fields were parched. Unless rain came soon the crops would be ruined. They were no rainmakers in those days, says the Chicago news, and still depended upon heaven. In this extremity a prayer meeting was appointed and the little congregation gatered to pray for rain. The restless teams were hitched in the sheds ahout the little church, and every now and then a long-drawn screech from a cramped vehicle came into the quiet of the meeting. The oil limps smoked and added their odor to the stifling air. They prayed for rain. The tall, spare form of Deacon Rogers rose. He pushed hiB steel-bowed glasses up on to his forehead, clasped his hands behind his back and raised his white facie appeal- ingly to heaven. He trusted Providence implicitly and yet it was vital that this/should be the right kind of a storm. No slight shower could relieve the condition of things.

The Whitewater Hotel, of Whitewater, was formally opened by a grand ball on Tuesday evening last. A apec- ial train was run from Kaslo to Sandon to accommodate tho������e wishing to attend from either point. The hostelry has recently been repainted and re- papered and is now equal to the host along the line. Mrs. Lacy and Mr. McKim did their best to make the , evening most enjovablo, and they sue ceeded. Instead of carrying \"out their promised economy the preVont Federal gov- ernmentare well inta their suspected extravagance. At Rossland the other day Mr. Sifton, in : a speech, foreshadowed the appointment of a minister of mines. Certainly mining is an important interest in Canada, hutwhy not place one of the present nothing- to-do ministers iii charge and dispense with his present post? Canada with its 5.000,000 of people only has sixteen ministers,1 while the United States with twelve timea that population, has but eight ministers, and Mr. Sifton wants more for Canada. Mr. Field,_ of the Wonderful mine, told a Review representative yesterday that all the. vitality recently given to differences at a meeting of shareholders in Spokane, some time ago, was altogether uncalled for, as they wi^re only the objections of a small minority holders- tit the best, the'majority being a satisfied unit ,as to the past operrtions of the mine. He says that at the last meeting no new directors were appointed, so the old ones wilh'act until a full representation can be got later op, when work will go on at the mine as heretofore. There is not a great deal of mining being done, and n:uch will not be done until anew board is fully organized. Hi KASLO. SANDON. SiiSSW'^f!5'\" W^gs0&\" SILVERWARE In endless variety.
