The galleries of Congress were crowded. Senators and representatives were anxious and agitated; even the Diplomatic Corps were in a ferment, awaiting the message from the President of the United States, to the Congress of the American people, that might mean war; when, with the excitement at the very highest, the .word passed that there would lie no message today. Its suddenness stunned thffe public, which heard the news in distorted forms, and amazed the veteran members of Congress. Ultimately it became known that not only would there be no message today, but no message this week, and that it was at least a possibility that the message, written and approved might never go to Congress .it all. The first reason for the delay was that the Administration received advices\" from General Lee at Hav.iiifi, indicating that all Americans could not he taken off the Island to day, and would he in grave peril if the message preceded their departure. The second reason, and perhaps equally potent with the 'other, slowly drifted- into public, comprehension late in the day, chiefly through the medium of the published'Associated Press despatches from Madrid; for extreme reticence was maintained on the subject by the few in Washington who knew the facts, and even Cabinet officers were unadvised on the subject. This important news was that tbe Spanish Government, after what plainly had been a most exciting time iu the Spanish circles of Madrid, had decided to re-open the case���������closed, so far us this-Government was concerned, hy the refusal of Spain to make satisfactory response to the representations made by the United .States last week���������and, in order to avert impending war, had decided tomakecon- c-eeioH_-h-_-lofoi-*-- refuscti.v-r:-'-^-.\" -*���������*'- STILL DELAYED Spain Shows Signs of Granting- United States Demands '������������������\"��������������������������� POWERS URGE FOR PEACE:: Prof. Carlyle's Rdport. With this issue, the Herald's re*, print of Prof. Carlyle's report on the Lardeau comes to an end. It was reprinted from the report of the Minister of Mines in order to give those interested in the district a chance of seeing what was said hy the Provincial Min- erologist on its resources 'and prospects. This report was the result of a hurried visit of three weeks in a very wet and bad weather. t That some of the statements in it are derived from mere hearsay and are glaringly inaccurate the Hkrald proposes now that it has finished printing the report, to set itself to point out.

A Mason and Risch piano, specially built in dark oak for the Hotel Revelstoke, has been u shipped from the factory in Toronto, after being on exhibition for a week in the ware rooms of the Mason and Risch Company. The Herald begs to acknowledge with thanks a box of fine lake trout from Mr. Martin of the Lakeview Hotel, Sicamous. The fishing in the Shuswap Lake is excellent just now, eighteen to twenty a day being .an average catch. The Lakeview Hotel is it most comfortable place to put up at and with the beautiful scenery of tho Shuswap and Mara lakes just putting on its spring dress, no pleas- anter spot exists in the province for a few days holiday. The B. C. Chamber of Mines. The Herald has received a copy of the rules and regulations of the B. C. Chamber of Mines. A permanent salaried secretary is to be appointed to give hia entire time towards compiling information regarding the mineral resources of the province and otherwise carrying out the work of the chamber, whose chief objects are to promote the mining industry of the province in every possible way and circulate information regarding it. The chamber should receive the hearty cooperation and support of everyone interested in mining in British Columbia.

On the Iron Fartn a tunnel has heen driven on the lead for 40 feet, and the result of the work is about 4 carloads of concentrating ore carrying galena on the dump, running from 35 to 75 oz. in silver. There is also a lot of solid ore running as high as 000 oz. sacked up. The pay streak is \"in and out,\" and has shewn up as\" wide as 10 inches. There is another tunnel on the North Wave, in alx>ut 20 feet, with fine shewings. Four distinct ledges run across the Iron Farm, one of white quartz carrying copper and galena. Another leilge is arsenical iron. Another shews copper. Mr. D.irby is of the opinion that further prospecting would discover considerably more indications of mineral wealth in the vicinity of their propel ty. Our Roads. Gold Commissioner Sibbald has written to the provincial government authorities\" asking leave to expend $700 on immediate work on the roads in town. It cannot be denied that they need it badly. But more than this whatever is done, to be effective should he done at once, while the mud is still on the-roads. If tbe work is delayed until'they are dry lhe gravel ��������� will not wor-k itself into the surfaced but remain on top and become a regular nuisance, as it always has when this work bas been done during dry weather in this place before. If it is done at once, the gravel will sink into. the mud and form a hard'surface, ' which will stand the traffic for.a long - time. This is not theory but the experience of a whole lot of money wasted in this town in the past, by doing this work at tho wronjc time. It is to be hoped that the government will accede to the gold com- missioner's re_o_nnfeud_-ion. .���������].'.__������-_Wv-.������ Revelstoke Herald *. - .Published in Interests ot Revelstoke.

They were all noxious to do business in Canada and'they were all in a position to lay down the right kind of goods at right prices. But they all had -the-same story���������Canada's rotten ���������bankruptcy law. Many of them knew to their sorrow the meaning of \"preferred claims,\" and had sustained such heavy losses through fraudulent bankruptcies ���������allowed by law���������that they had either withdrawn from business here altogether or refused to ship goods unless cash accompanied the order.

Wetaskiwin Editor's Opinions on Important Public Matters. Wo are informed Unit the department of tho Interior has decided to have fi number of illuminated cards printed with the words \"Loveone fin- other,\" distributed among tho neighbors of the various settlements in Northern Alberta. What the depait- partment means by taking this step, hanged if wc know, lt seem to , us to be wholly uncalled for. It is, we should imagine, a lack of knowledge of tho world, of the peoplo in it, and of human nature in general, that makes some preachers neutralise the effect of their own labors by an assumption of austerity. Manners and morais as set forth from the pulpit ot the village church are so strict that we would h-i/ve to lead lives as did the Puritans in the time of Elizabeth, when, as history informs us, thev onlv succeeded in exciting derision bv iheir-'fanatical opposition to traditions and human constitutions. Why the ultraslrict mode of life, involving the laying aside of carthly pleasures and all that goes to make Fife tolerable, should always be found in wee little obscure villages, beats us. We may not all be sports, but certainly none of us are ascetics. \"For which the Lord be thunkit.\" Of course, all country ministers are not alike. Some are liberal minded, widely read, broad in their views as becomes la tin ilu sieclc, and 'ovinl in their dispositions. Such men have by; their adaptability of manner find common sense, much more influence for good than have the hard, ignorant. austere, unread, untravelled, hell-fire shooters we so often have to put up with. In Wetaskiwin we have been singularly lor- tunate in our ministers. They have not been obstrusive or aggressive in their ministrations, and\" have been well liked by the people. But only two Sundays ago we.were grieved and surprised tb learn that one of ou- local ministers, ouo. too, whom everyone respects, and whose name is popularly associated with the rose, charged his congregation when they went to their h~oTucs~to\"lo~ok\"over~th~eir\"book\"~shelvesr take oft all the novels and cast them to the flumes. To revert to our classics again, \"Omnia bona bonis.\" Perhaps he had forgotten this feature. Was this gentleman fatuous enough to suppose that it break of this kind tvoulabe,taken literally.-is a fulmiuation of the church, and that, the congregation would huiten hack home as fast their legs would carry thtm. seize Thackerv'sV.'initv Fair, Dickens'David Copperfi'elil. Bhickinnre's Lorna Doone. Hardie's \"Tess of the d' Urbei'villes.'i and the novels of Charlotte Bronte, Ueoi-gu Eliot, liarrie, Kipling and Haggard, Hing open the stove door and chuck 'em all in\". Who ever heard of such preposterous nonsense outside of Wetii^kitvin 1 Ono could not very well blame the preacher if lie had reference to \"Dare devil Dick, or the Iliglitvavnianof the bounding ocean,\" or \"Slmightei-house Mike, lhe Avenger of cocoa nut ally,\" for thev are but stupid trifles and most eligible candidates for thn lircy furnace, but it is scarcely probably that the members of this gentleman\"*; congregation have any such literature upon their shelves. In any event tve would infinitely prefer\" \"Slaughter house Mike\" to \"Fox's hook of martvis.\" The Two Men Had Been Quarrelling, When the Actor Shot His Opponent Through the Head���������The Shooting Claimed to have been Done in Self Defence���������Surrenders to the Police London, Ont., April 2.���������A shocking tragedv occurred in this city last night at the Music Hall theatre, when W. D. Emerson, who took the part -of tho leading villain in the Wesley Stock Company, shot and instantly killed .las. Tutlle of Branllord, the business manager of the company. The audience gathered in the theatre were wondering what kept the curtain from going up. At a quarter to nine the curtain was still down and they gave signs of great impatience. Just then a pistol shot was heard and an actor rushed out tind shouted for a doctor. Detectives were on the spot and go-, ing behind the cut tain found the body of Tutlle lying behind tho drop quite dead, the bullet having entered his left eye THE HOT BED Every farmer should have one. Many farmers have old sash lying around that would make good glass for a hot bed. Sometimes old storm sash can be obtained cheaply and they answer well. Having selected your sash, make a frame to suit it, Any onehandy with tools can make agood frame. Sometime before you are ready to use the hot bed,make up a pile of good stable manure (largely horse manure) largo enough to cover the entire bottom of the intended hot bed- 18 inches deep. Let it heat a few days then turn it over and let it heat another week. Now make up a bed of this manure IS inches deep and a foot larger ail round than the size of your frame; water and tramp it down solid. Place the frame upon it and bank up around the manure and frame with more manure. On top of the manure in the frame put in five inches of fine garden mould, no matter if it is frozen it will soon thaw out. If vou can't got that, go to the woods and get some nico leaf mould. Put on the glass and allow the hot bed to work off its excessive heat. Place a thermometer in the soil and when the temperat.ire remains constant at SO degrees the MKTII0DI8T CHUROH - Rovelstoko.

PORTUGUESE PIRATE HOW BARTHOLEMY captured A HUGE SPANISH MERCHANTMAN. VARIOUS NOTES. His Fiist Attack Failed���������The Little Pirate Then Lay Within Short Range,and With Itinci tho Spanish Force Was Reduced and Finally Conquered. A series of sketches by Frank R. Stockton on \"Tho Buccanoors of Our Const\" is ono of tho features of St. Nicholas. Mr. Stockton tells of the adventures of Bartholemy Portuguez, who, with a small crew iu a small vessel, captured a huge Spanish merchantman iu the Caribbean sen. Mr. Stockton Kiiys: Tho littlo pirate sniled boldly toward tho big Spiniinrd, uud tho latter vessel, uttorly astonished ut tho nudac- ity of this At tuck���������for the pirates' flag was flying���������lay to, head to tho wind, and waited, the gunners Etanding hy their cannon. When the pirates had come noar ouough to see nud understand tho si'zo and power of tho vessel they had thought.of attackiug, they did not, ns might havo been expected, put about nnd tail away tit the best of their vessel's speed, but they kept straight on thoir course, as if they wore about to full upon n great, unwieldy merchantman manned by common sailors. Porcoiving tho foolhardiness of the littlo vosscl, the Spanish commander determined to givo it a lesson whioh .would touch its oaptaiu to understand :better tho_ relative power of great vessels aud little ones, so as soon as the pirates' vessel was near enough he or- deied a broadside fired upon it. The Spanish ship hud a great many peoplo on board. It had a crew of 70 men, and besides t_eso there were somo passengers and regular marines, and, knowing that tho captain had determined to firo upon tho approaching vessel everybody had gathered ou deck to see the littlo pirate ship go down. But the ten great cannon balls which wero shot out nt Bartholemy's littlo craft all niis?ed their aim, aud beforo tho guns could bo reloaded or the great ship bo got\"around so as.to deliver, her other broadside the pirate vessel was alongside of her. Bartholemy had flred uono of his cauuou. Such guns wero useless against so huge a foe.-What ho wns aft- cr was a hand to hand combat on the deck of the Spanish ship. Tho piratos wei'o all ready for hot work. They had thrown aside their coats and shirts, as if each of them were going into a prizefight, and with \"their cutlasses in their hands and thoir pistols and knives iu .their belts they scrambled liko monkeys up tha sides of tho grout ship. But Spaniards are bravo meu and good fighter.\"���������there wero moro than twico as many of thorn as thero were of the pirates���������and it was not long beforo the latter found out that tliey could not capture that vessel by boarding it. So ovor the sido they tuln- bled as fast as they could go, leaving some of their uunibor dead,and wouuded behind them. They jumped into their owu vessel, and then they put off to a short distauco to take breath and get ready for a'different kind of fight. The triumphant Spaniards now prepared to get rid of this boatload of half naked wild beasts, which they .could easily do if they took bettor aim with their can- uon thau they had dbno before. But to their amazement they soou found that they could do nothing with tho guus, nor were they able to work their ship so us to get it into position for effectual shots. Bartholemy aud his men laid aside their cutlasses and their pistols nnd took up muskets, with which they were well provided. Their vessel lay within very short range of the Span- ish-ship.-and-wheuever a-man could-be eccu through, tho' portholes or Bhowed himself iu the rigging or anywhere elso wheroit was necessary to go iu order to work tho ship ho made himself a target for tho good aim of tho pirates. The pirato' vessel could move about as it pleased, for it required but a fow meu to uiauugo it, and so it- kept out of the way of the Spanish guns, and its best ninrksmeu, crouching close to the deck, fired aud' iirod whenever a Spanish head was to be seen. For five long hours this unequal contest was kept up. It might have reminded ono of a man with a slender rod and a long, delicate lino who had hooked a big salmon. The man could not pull in the salmon, but, ou tho other hand, tho salmon could not hurt tho man, aud iu the course of timo the big fish would be tired out aud the\" man would get out his lauding net nud scoop him iu.* . _ [ Now, Bartholemy thought lie could scoop iu tho Spanish vessel. ' So many of her men had been shot that the two crews would bo more nearly equal. So be boldly ran his vessel alongside the big ship and again boarded her. Then thero was another great \"Sght on the decks. The Spaniards had ceased to he triumphant, but they had become desperate; aud iu the furious .combat ten of -the pirates were killed aud four wounded. But the Spauiards fared worse than that More than half of the men who hid not beeu shot by tho pirates went down- before their cutlasses and pistols, and it was not long before Bartholemy had captured the great Spanish ship. It was a fearful and a costly victory he had gained. A great part of his owu men were lying dead or helpless on tha deck, end of the Spaniards only 40 were left alive, and these, it appears from the accounts, must have been nearly all wounded or disabled.

The quarterly general meeting of the Board of Trade was held on Thursday night, with the president, Mr. A. K. B. Hearn in the chair, The following new members were elected : Mrs. A. E. Phipps. J. Doyle, Curtis, R. Tapping and G. E. Grogan. The first subject discussed was the grant for the wagon road from town to the head of the canyon, which tvas not inserted iu the estimates. It was the general opinion that uo doubt the wagon road is provided for in the supplementary estimates, but still it was thought, best to instruct the secretary to write to Premier Turner and make sure on the point. Mr. John Abrahamson then pointed out that there was no grant set down for the ruining recorder's salary at Tront Lake and the discussion on the point brought up another feature, which is that there is a report that the Lardeau and Trout L-ike districts are to form part of the division of the new gold commissioner at Duncan Lake. A \"strong resolution was in consequence drawn up noticing the fact thnt nothing had been set clown for the salary of the Trout, Ijiike recorder, and protesting against the Trout Lake and Lfiiileiiu divisions'heing cut off from Revel-toke. As Mr. Brewster, who was present, was going to leave for Vancouver after the meeting, he was appointed a repiesentative of the board to lay the matter. before the Minister of Mines at Victoria. It was arranged to hold a public meeting un Tuesday evening to discuss the question of the public park which the Dominipn government has expressed itself as willing to grant this pi nee. The report of the combined Mining and Freight committees on the advantages to be gained hy the Downie Creeli ~Rn il way company-iii milking Revelstoke their point of junction with the C, P. R. was then reiul. The report was a very able and interesting one. It pointed out that Revelstoke was in the first place a competing point, having easy access to the transcontinental roads in the States and therefore one at which better tei ins for- freight rates could he made with the C. P. R. than at Albeit Canyon. Set'oiidly that the river would furnish a readily .-uio-ssilili: waterway for the carriage of stores and supplies for the construction of the proposed line, in the event of the company sUirtiug from Revelstoke. Thirdly that the whole route thrr ugh which the railway would pass from Revelstoke to the Waverley group i.s in.-i richly mi uer- ali'/eil country, in which several hundred locations have been nuule and a number of properties have already changed hands at good figures, in spite of the small amount of development done on theni; that last year the traffic over the route employed 75 pack horses contiiiuously.hesiile.-i boats, and several trips of the Lytton and that consequently this is the route hy which the company most naturally anticipate the greatest amount of traffic. The report tvas or der ed to be transmitted to Mr. .1. D. Graham- The board then adjourned. A WORD WITH MR. TARTE The Minister of Public Works shows up very badly in his controversy with Mr. Turner' on thi* protection of the river bank here. He quite obviously lent himself to tho trick, which Mr. Bostock and the Bostock clique iu Revelstoke intended to play on the Provincial government,. It will be ri'inembered that Mr. Bostock grew apathetic on the matter oven before Mr. Tarte and stilted that he-.'did not see what mere could he done,- The idea of course was that the Dominion government should refuse to assist in the work, on the plea that, their previous oiler hnd been rejected, that thus any idea of going on with it this' year would have to be abandoned, and the blame would rest on Mr. Turner's government. That Mr. Turner would adopt the course of starting the work anyhow never occurred to these too clever schemers. Air. Tarte has prostituted his oflice as a Dominion minister to assist this small' and dirty piece of political trickery, and now finds that his bungling advisers have simply assisted Mr. Turner to score a big point. The last letter of the correspondence published by the Mail does not help him out any. In the first, place how the Mail got hold of it \"God knows, for 1 don't,\" to use a classic Kellieism. It must have been by some backstairs piece of dirty work either at Ottawa or- Victoria. Seconiilyiit' throws no-- reiil light ou the situation, no new justification of the position, whicli Mr. Tarte so unadvisedly adopted, and from which to judge by his telegram of Feb. 10th. he is himself anxious to recede. \"Dominion government engineer,\" he says, \"now, at Revelstoke. Your government should contribute to the cost of the work.\" Thirdly the sneaking imputation that Mr. Turner deliberately suppressed this letter is worthy of the Mail. If wecouldsay anything worse than that we would. The Bostock organ calculates tbat the letter being dated Feb. 23rd should have reached Victoria from Ottawa on Feb. 28th or 20th. Why not Feb. 30th. :31st or 32nd. The atmosphere of the const did not apparently tend to clarify the editorial intellect. As there was not, except on , the Mail's calendar any 20th of February, this year, aiid as there'-'was as everybody will remember considerable delay in the trains at'that particular period, there is nothing very remarkable in the fact that the letter in question did not get into a batch of correspondence, dated March 4th. But all this is beside the point,which is that the work is being done by the Provincial government, and that the Dominion is not assisting. Mr. Tarte may write letter's and the Mail squeeze out columns of blethering comment on them, till they are both black in the face. But tbey cannot alter this fact, which is the only one in which' tbe .people of Revelstoke take any particu- lar interest in the whole Of course the. Mail and Forward I Upward! Never Backward!
