SLOCAN LOCK-OUT ENDED Miners Accept Compromise Bate. New Disixvi..-, February 15.��� [Special to the Tribune]--The local m'ners' union held a meeting this afcernoon, when after considerable discussion it was finally decided to grant permission for miners under tho jurisdiction of the New Denver union to work at the compromise scale of wages���$3.25 per day. All the properties surrounding New Denver can now'have a full supply of union men at any time. This applies to the Bosun mine principally. W. II. Sandiford, manager of' thn Bosun, when informed of the union'h decision stated that he ,did not think the local union had \"sufficient men to guarantee work which he can do. The fourth is a most unfortunate case. That of a man who has been ill at the hospital for some time, and will probably never regain his health. Throe of the men are being boarded at the Homo hotel on Vernon street, but arrangements will be made to secure a shack where men in hard luck can be boarded. Frank J.

Wariiixi.tox, February 15.���The senate substitute for the house cur- loncy bill was passed by the senate today by a decisive majority of 40 to 20. Pi ior to the final passage of the bill, amendments weie considered under the ten minute rule. Only two of tho amendments were adopted : Viz���One offered by the finance committee keeping the door open to international bi-metallism, and one . by Mi'. Nelson, of Minnesota, keeping and providing for national banks Avith $25,000 capital in towns of more than 1000 inhabitants. The votes taken on the vaiious amendments were practically along party lines. Mr. Chandler (Republican) voted for the bill amendment, but against the bill. Mr. Call'ery (Democratic), L. A. Pye and T. L. Lindsay (Democratic, Kentucky) voted against the committee amendment for the bill. Mr. Kyle (Silver Democrat) was the only senator who did not vote and was not passed. The free silver substitute offered by Mr. Jones, leader of the democratic side, was denied by a majority of 19, the vote being 27 to 4S. The bill as passed consists of ton sections., It pro\\ idos that the dollar of 25 S 10 grains of gold, nine- tenth* fine, shall be the standard unit of value and that all forms of United States,money shall be maintained at a.paiity with it; and that the treasury notes and greenbacks sluifl be redeemable in gold.

Is the Question. A deadlock occurred at the city council last night as a result of the members' failure to agree as .to the best method of constructing the new city wharf. Cne half of the council, aldermen Hall, Arthur and Wilson, went ou record as favoring the acceptance of the lowest tenders, while the remaining members, aldermen McKillop and Morrison, and mayor Houston committed themselves to the city building the wharf by day labor. The result of the equal division was a deadlock,'which will ���,stand, until the next meeting of the council determines the question one way or another. The discussion throughout was, however, perfectly amicable. The special committee consisting of mayor Houston, aldermen Wilson and Hall, reported that the committee had disagreed. The aldermen recommended the acceptance of the following tenders : For materials���J. A. Say ward, $3244.40; W. McAdams, piles, GA cents per lineal foot; construction $3500; nails, bolts, etc., .1. Lawrence, $894. On the other hand mayor Houston, the third member of the special committee, presented a minority report, recommending tnat the cily do the work by day labor. His reasons were as follows: There are two points to be considered in doing public work. First, cost ; seeond, quality of the work. The experience of the city has been that there is little difference in the cost, but that there is considerable difference iu the quality of the work. In building a wharf, the cost of which will be largely for material and labor and little for plant, the city should be able to purchase everything in the way of materials at the minimum price,' and should be able to secure as efficient labor as any contractor. This being so, there is no good reason why the work when completed should not be of first-class quality. I believe that there is, a margin of $l000in favor of the city doingr the work by day's labor and purchasing the material needed in the open market. I maintain that this is a fair margin to work on and if'the city stands a show to save $1000 iu the construction of the wharf, the council should take the chance. c Even if no saving could be .made, the city will not be called upou to settle vexatious disputes between two sets of contractors, the one for the delivery of material and the other for construction, and if it is deemed best to make any change in the plans there can be no question of extra charges which there surely would be were tho work done by contract.\" Alderman Hall thought mayor Houston had figured to��� closely on the matter. Captain,,Troup had approved of the course recommended by the majority and his experience hi building wharves for the C. P-ll,-had weight��� The~sup- ervisioii would be under the same man, and the profits if any, would be distributed to four men. The fact should be considered, also, that the city had committed itself in a sense to accept some one of the tenders, and if they proceeded to do tho work by another method they might not be able to secure tenders on a future occasion. Alderman Morrison recommended the minority report, as even if the wharf cost just as much the funds would bo distributed among the men who furnished the money in tho shape of taxes. Aldermen Hall and Wilson moved the adoption of the .majority's report be carried. The movers and alderman Arthur Aroted for the resolution and the remainder of the council voted to the contrary, on wliich the resolution was declared lost. Aldermen Morrison and McKillop then moved the adoption of the minority repoit, which was also lost. This left the matter in statu quo, but as anolher meetiug takes place on Monday night the deadlock will probably be broken then. The boaid went into committee of the whole on bylaw No. 63, a bylaw to regulate the erection of buildings, the prevention of fires and the stringing of wires. Alderman Morrison took the ehair, and proceeded to read the clauses of the proposed bylaw. The fire limits described iu the new bylaws are the same as obtained under the old law, viz: From the corner of Vernon and Hull, west on Vernon to Kootenay, thence - southerly'on Kootenay to Victoria street, theiuKr'easterly ou Victoria to Hall and northerly along Hall to the point of beginning, the centre line of the street being the limit throughout. ��� The council spent two hours in discussing 17 out of the 30 clauses contained in the bylaw, after which the committee of the whole rose and reported-progress. The balance of the bylaw will be gone over at the next meeting. F. W. Peters, president of the tramway company, and M. C. Carey, the company's electrician', appeared before the council in the matter of supplying citizens-with electric current for powe_?;piirppses. On being requested to address the council, Mr.'Peters stated .that he was not prepared at this juncture to give figures, but could inform the aldermen that the 'tramway company had concluded arrangements with the West Kootenay Power Company to have tho exclusive right to sell electrical power in Nelson. They had taken the sub-station off the power company's hands and he could see no reason why the tramway company could not sell eurrent for power and lighting to the city at as low a rate as the corporation was.now paying. , There were two methods of supplying this power, first by delivei ing it direct to the city's power house, and, second, by delivering it by a primary wire to vaiious points. The first would necessitate the city's installing' a motor and the- second would require the stringing of wires aud the purchase - of transformers to reduce the voltage. If the council thought of considering the matter he would be in a position to give figures and submit his company's offer. Mayor Houston remarked that he did not believe the city contemplated any arrangement with anyone for furnishing light, but there were people who claimed that, they could not get along without electrical power. The 'only question before the council, _ therefore, was should they consider the offer to sell power to citizens, through the city. If the city p^onld.\" require power at any future date -it would necessitate a separate aud distinct arrangement, and had nothing to do with furnishing po.ver to private parties. The special committee drafted to enquire into the matter had to report that the city had no power to dispose of. He did not believe the city had any desire to make money out of this matter, but the corporation should exercise control as a safeguard to its interests. The question of a rate was mooted, but finally left to the next session of the board, when Mr. Peters will present figures and rate-,. On motion of aldermen Arthur and McKillop, the city engineer was authorized to proceed with the erection of a retaining wall at the corner of Ward and Silica streets at a cost of $300. An impromptu discussion ensued regarding the city lighting, and the suggestioirwas made that~some concessions be made until meters were installed. On motion of aldermen Arthur and AVilson, the mayor was authoiized to adjust the rates in ease of an objection on the part of any consumer. THE CURLERS FROM NELSON Are Still Ahead.

Mr. Nicoll said: \"The line would run about 401 miles iu a .straight line through a new and unsettled portion of Canada, and would shorten the grain haul from Chicago and Duluth to the seaboard by fully 500 miles. The rail route would be about the same length as that from Buffalo to New York, saving all the lake distance between Georgian Bay and Buffalo. ______ A Youthful Assassin. MiDDM-SBO-io, Kentucky, February 15. -John Lewis Howard, 15 years old, this afternoon on his deathbed confessed that he had murdered his own father with the aid of his mother. About five years ago Thomas Howard, a prominent lumberman of Bell county, was assassinated, a bullet being fired through a window of his house while he was eating. His son now confesses to firing the bullet. He says his mother, Mrs. Amanda Howard, arranged the table so that his father wonld sit with his back to the window. Mrs. Howard has been arrested. Her preliminary trial will be held tomorrow. Speak on the Crisis. London, February 15.--In the house of lords the earl of DunVaven raised a question on the government's military proposals and expressed a doubt as to whether these were sufficient. The earl of Rosebery said he fully recognized the giavifcy* of the situation and agreed with the previous speaker in thinking that the measures adopted were inadequate in the circumstances. He also doubted force of v. hether the paper force of 409,000 men in Groat Britain to which the secretary Of state for war had referred would stand analysis. For the volunteers lord Rosebery said he had the highest respect, but by no stretch of the imagination could they be called holdiers, as it was admitted they needed months of training annually to render them efficient. \"The crisis in South Africa is urgent,\" continued lord Hosebery, but wo must not keep our eyes upon South Africa alone. Last December the government made vigorous overtures to two groat powers, Germany and tho United States for an alliance, but these overtures were not received with such cordiality as to encourage the government to pursue them. It does not appear that the friendship of France, would bear any great strain and as to Russia, even that has been recently witnessed in Persia about which England formorly would have something to say, but which now she passes unnoticed. \"It becomes the government to take a more firm grasp of the situation aud to make adequate proposals. If Grout Britain were to lose South Africa she would lose the most important base outside of the United Kingdom and she would lose that colonial support which has been given because the colonies have believed that they were associating themselves with a powerful empire, and thus the empire would break away from us. If this bo not a life and death crisis I do not know what is.\" The earl of Kimberley, the Liberal leader, said he fell the danger Creditors, As to the charges of falsification of records, all his colleagues in the executive were his witnesses against Martin's charges. He characterized this attack as a dastardly use of the protection afforded Martin by the privileges of the house. So complete was Cotton's answer that Turner, Pooley, McPhillips, and other leading members of the opposition declared that there appeared to be no occasion for the committee asked for; and only seven votes, were recorded for Martin's motion. The house has adjourned until Monday without explanation, and the wish is father to the thought with the opposition that Semlin may contemplate resignation or rearrangement in the meantime.

Chiek- ei ing of Copenhagen, who was found dead on the sidewalk in front of the Grand Union hotel, New York, on Tuesday morning, are of opinion that he did not commit suicide. Foul play is suspected and an investigation will be made. Nkw York, February 15.��� Captain McChiskey, of the New York City Detective Bureau, ridicules the idea of foul play in connection with the death of congressman Chickering, who was found dead outside of the Grand Union hotel in this city on-Monday, lie says that no report of any suspicious circumstances was made to him in regard to the death, and the police who handled the case found nothing on which to base such a belief. The congressman's watch and money nnd private papers were found on his body. The police at headquarter^ say there is absolutely nothing in the cireunibtanees of the death to indicate that the congressman was a victim of foul play.

A fatal accident took place Wednesday evening on the Hall Mines wagon road by which Mrs. Hanna. wife of a former employee of the Hall Mines Company lost her life. The victim, of the accident was on her way to Nelson, and was rid- : ing on a load of furniture hauled by a team, driven by William Ragless. While crossing the Esperenza, mineral claim the sleigh runners cut under on one side, and the entire outfit was thrown over. Ragless the drivbr wa.s buried in the snow but managed to work his way out. He was unable to find his passenger, however, and not having sufficient strength to right the sleigh and ascertain whether she was under it, he did the next best thing and called loudly for help. The cries were heard by Edward Stanley and Albert Gerrard, who were working on the Esperenza, and they made all haste to the scene of the accident. The sleigh was then turned over, and underneath it, partly buried in the snow the body of Mrs. Hanna was discovered. The rescuers were unable to tell whether the woman was dead or merely unconscious, but thoy did everything that could bo done. The body was removed to the Esperenza cabin, and one of the men started on a four-mile run to Nelson for medical assistance. Dr. Arthur was notified of the accident about 8 o'clock, and securing a horse started back up tho road as fast as it could take him. When he arrived he pronounced life as extinct. He did not make a minute examination of the body, but expressed the opinion that the victim was dead when taken from thoisnow, death being in his opinion due to suffocation. Dr. Arthur does not consider an inquest necessary, the accident being such as might happen to any teamster.coining down the road under the sumu circumstances. The deceased was the \\. ife of J. W. Haunn, who has been in charge of the tramway at the Silver King mine for the past four years. _ She was 21 years of age, leaves no'family and came to Nelson from Cold Springs, Minnesota, where her father and stepfather reside. Mr. Hanna was not apprised of his terrible loss until some hours after it had occurred.* Husband and wife were lo have gone east .-hortly on a trip. The body was brought down to Nelson yesterday and turned over to I). McArthur k Company to be embalmed. The icumins will be taken to Cold Springs on Saturday via C. P. It. for interment. .

Tin. resolution offered by Joseph Martin, upon the matter of redistribution, has c.'dlcd forth an intimation from premier Seinlin to the effect that the government will present a measure of redistribution to the legislature during the present session. In this event it is altogether likely that the final test of strength between the government and opposition parties will be made upon this measure. Throughout the whole of his campaign against his former colleagues, the ex-attorney-general has protested that he would support any fair measure o'f redistribution which the government might lay before the legisla- tui'J. His is, therefore, probably the only, vote which will be influenced after the expected redisti i- bution bill is submitted. In undertaking any such measure, however, the government will have to count both Martin and Prentice as against it, aud in doing this the measure will require to meet with the approval of every other member of the government paity in order to pass its second leading. By some ib is contended that a measure formed to please so many judges must be weak. It may be ; but it is s tfe to say that it will not be vicious. There is more to b _ feared from redistribution measures framed by governments strong enough to lose one or two followers than from similar measures by a government so circumstanced that it cannot afford to lose a vote. This was made plain dm ing the la&t session of the legis'atu e controlled by - .the Turner government, when the attempt was made to withhold the present Slocan seat. And in view of th's, it is odd to hear ex-premier Turner protestagainst any measure of redistribution by the Semlin government on the. ground that it is not strong,enough to be just. It is safe to hay that any redistribution measure which'the present government may introduce will, be an ini- \"provement u]doh the present allotment of representation. It may not be as sweeping as could be desired, but if it remedies but half of the inequalities something /nil! be gained, and a step gained in such matters is seldom lost. Politicians who strive to retain pocket boroughs seldom have the temerity to create .them again after they have been once swept out of existence. Ureal Joiis Maoix>~na7.T7 \"has\" taken a decided stand in tho piov- ince of Manitoba upon the question of grantingboi-i-bca toiailway companies. While lie is at the head Of provincial alTair.s he promises that no moie bonuses v.ill be given to c any railway company. In doing this, premier Macdonald is but cairying out tho piogramme which he advocated throughout the campaign, and the fact that he and his party were returned is suHicient evidence that the majority of the people of Manitoba aro in favor of it. It is doubtful if any practice is open to more abiifo than that of bouusing railway projects. Theoretically it becomes a part of a government's policy lo as^-sist development roads. In practice it Avorks o it that every tailroacl enterprise is bonused, and not infrequently it happens that the aim of tho government is wholly defeated by the absorption by pi omoters. of the assistance which it was intended .should contribute toward the cost of railway consti notion. Probably no province in the Dominion lias Buffered more in this respect than British Columbia. The most glaring instance ififumi'-iied in the case of the British ^Columbia Southern grant. To secure tho constiuetion of what is known as the Crow's Ne��t Pass road the province of British Columbia give the valuable coal measures now owned by the Crow's Nest Pass Coal Company. But valuable as this concession was it did not contribute in the least to the cost of the road's construction. The coal measures-became the property of a private corporation, and the railway end of the project was turned over to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, which in turn received a further subsidy from the Dominion government for performing\" what the province of British Columbia had already paid the original promoters for doing. There is another objection to subsidizing railway enterprises. Subsidies are secured under provincial charters, and iu return for the subsidy the legislature imposes certain conditions upon the companies. The subsidies are secured, and then a Dominion charter, which relieves the stated-aided roads from complying with the conditions attached to the grant. These difficulties have also presented themselves in British Columbia, and it appears that the province is helpless. The remedy lies in following the lead of Manitoba and granting no further aid to railways whatever. The action of the miners' unions of the Slocan yesteiday, in deciding to accept the compiomiso offer of the mine owner.0, .will be generally commended. The compromise scale just splits the difference between HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. TOHN CHOI-l.lTOlI & CO.-Front street, Nel- \" son, whole-ale grocers. COAL.

A Welsh contempoiary reports: Tho Merioneth magistrates had before them on Friday six schoolboys, all under fourteen, on a charge of doing malicious damage to a house. It Avas slated that all the boys of Llanegryn, a village at the foot of Cedar Idiis, recently formed themselves into a \"commando of Boers\" and a \"regiment of British troops.\" They then marched to the top of an \"adjoining mountain (Dundee) by different routes, and a desperate conflict ensued, resulting, in Moyie's Title Cleared Up.

By the decision of the court Reddy becomes an equal owner in the townsite with Campbell. However James Croniu, 1'. A. O'Parrel 1 and .John M.

Paul Johnson, general manager in British Columbia of the Copper Company's smelting works at Greenwood, anived in Nelson yesterday fiom -the East. He was in Toronto when the word came of the suspension of shipments from the War Eagle and stocks began to tumble. He says the feeling is very stiong on the stock exchange and the probabilities are that War Eagle's will be struck off the list. Mr. Johnson superintended the construction of the Hall Mines smelter, and afterwards operated it for some time. \"He spent the day in renewing former acquaintances. Five out of the eight cars of plant for the Ontario Powder Works at Six Mile Point will be'in Nelson jn a day or two. and the balance has just been shipped from t..., reserving judgment on the question as Lo whether he had jurisdiction to award the balance. The fact that the action was originally entered in the county court complicated matters. Charles Wilson, Q. (J., and F. Elliot appeared for the plaintiff and Macdonald & Johnson for tho defence.

From Kokanee creek to Nelson there was an inch to an inch and a quarter of ice, but the steamers broke through without ditlicnlty. if tho cold snap continues boats will probably have difficulty in running through on time, but no tie-up. is anticipated.

It is anticipated that the commencement of the work on the Balfour extension will bring many Italian laborers into the vicinity of the city, aud the fact is well known that this class is ever handy with the knife. Police magistrate Crease took advantage of a case at yesterday's court which drew a score or more of Italians together, to remark that any man convicted before him for using a knife would receive the heaviest penalty allowed by the law. At the police court yesterday Dominico Naro was charged with doing damage to the personal property of another Italian named Romano. Naro did not draw a knife as was at first thought, but cut Romano's coat up with a penknife wrhen tho owner was not about. His little' game cost him over $30, a $10 fine being imposed by his worship, and $20 damages being awarded tiie owner of the destroyed overcoat. Naio paid the fines together with the costs and was released. Eight carloads of outfit for J. N.
