Bowden, formerly of the Hall Mines clerical staff, is fleeing from justice with twenty-seven hundred odd dollars of the company's .money. The money is the proceeds of tho checks Avhich ho had heen entrusted Avith to cash, one for $2100 and one for $000. The iirst Avas to pay time checks for the men aud the second was for the amount of the provincial poll tax collected by the company from its employees. Bowden cashed them both and pocketed the money, and, as he had charge of the books as well as the cash draAArer, the deficit AA'as not noticed i'or seA'eral days. Last Friday Aveek ho asked for a few days' leave of absence on account of his health, saying he wag going to Spokane. lie did' not start at once, however, and on Sunday he was yory sick as a result of over-indulgence iu liquor, one of'his comrades iu tiie office attending to him. He Avas not missed until /Tuesday morning, when a man Avas scut to his cottage, as he did not appear at the office at tho usual time. Everything AA'as left as if he had just stepped out for a moment. His breakfast things Avere left, half- Avashed. His rubbers, overshoes and apparently all his clothes Avere there. His grip AA'as there, and oven his tooth brush and hair brushes wore in their usual places. The police Avere communicated with, but nothing could .be learned of his movements since the day before (Monday) after he had taken lunch at the Hume hotel. The conductors, pursers and officials on the trains and. boats running out of Nelson Avere questioned, but none of them had noticed anyone ans- Avering BoAA'den's description, and it _was _fchought_ that possibly, he AA-as lying low somewhoro in toAvn. Some of his friends Avho Avere not in possession of all the. facts went so far as to assert that he had fallen a victim to foul play. ' The enquiry was, however, kept up and on Friday evening it transpired that Bowden had after all left for Spokane on Tuesday morning. Immediate steps were taken to follow him, and tho authorities are confident of locating him and soon effecting his arrest\" ' There AA'ere all sorts of rumors afloat yesterday and Saturday, some oven asserting that lie had beeu arrested in Seattle. All these rumors, however, are without foundation, ancl, up till yesterday evening nothing definite Avas knoAvn here beyond the .fact of his arrival in Spokane, BoAvdeu had been in the employ of the Hall Mines Company for three years, and AA'as highly esteemed and implicitly trusted by the management of the company. No reason is assigned for his act except that he knew that his engagement with the company Avould terminate on the 15th instant oav- ing to the closing doAvn of the Ilali Mines. So far- as can be learned he had practically no debts in Nelson, only OAA'ing $15 for rent and a balance on his furniture to D. McArthur & Co. of $25. The sheriff has taken posscssson of his effects on behalf of his landlord on account of tho rout duo him, and the Hall Mines Company has issued a writ against him in the supremo court for the amount Avhich he i.s short. BoAvden has ji\\-ed in the Avest for OA'er fifteen years and formerly resided in Calgary and Winnipeg, SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION Reviewed for tha Week. New Yokk, March 4.���In his cable review of the South African Avar situation, Mr. Isaac N. Ford iu a dispatch filed at London at 1 o'clock this morning says: \"There is no confirmation from Lorenzo Marquez of the rumor that president Kruger has joined president Steyn and is on tho point of opening negotiations for peace.' The Times in its afternoon edition yesterday announced that president Kruger had left Pretoria for an unknown destination and that it was conjectured that a conference betAveen the presidents of the two republics would take place. . There Avas no official information respecting overtures for peace. Members of parliament Avere not disposed to attach importance to the rumor and military men explained that the probable object of tho presidential conference AA'as the adoption of measures of defence agaiust the advance of lord Roberts' army. Bloemfontein cannot be defended, but there are lines of hills at the Vet and Valsh rivers where a strong stand can be made and the passage of the Vaal river can be contested on the way to Pretoria. The-Dutch commandoes cannot be massed - under a single leadership Avithout a direct agreement between Kruger and Steyn. It is not believed in influential circles here that the United States government will be asked by the Transvaal and Free State to make approaches to Great Britain in the direction of peace, since Kruger aud Steyn are. more likely to avail themselves of the seiwices of Hof- meyer and Schreiner. The intervening of Germany is as unlikely as that of France. It is believed in diplomatic circles that the German emperor AA'as among the first to send congratulations to the queen' on the surrender of Cronje's forces and the relief of Ladysmith. He sympathizes, with England and has done so throughout the Avar. Cecil Rhodes' visit to Berlin last spring, when the emperor displayed a remarkable knoAvledge of the details of railway .construction, was not Avithout effect and the queen's influence over her grandson has been strongly exercised. A great lady of Lhe German court, formerly maid of honor to the empress Frederick, is authority for the statement that the queen is the only' person in .Europe of whom the emperor stands in awe. She alone addresses him as.\"Willie\" and is most affectionate in her treatment of him as a favorite grandson. There is a sudden shrinkage of news, from the seat of Avar. Supplies are moving rapidly into Ladysmith and general Buller's army is resting from its labors until orders can be received from general Roberts respecting future operations. Pathetic accounts of general White's- emotion when lord Dundonald's troopers arrived in Ladysmith still appear in print. The railway to Colenso will re- require extensive repairs. Three British officers belonging to White's and Buller's forces have escaped from Pretoria, and ten soldiers have also eluded pursuit. * . The Colesburg'district has been entirely abandoned by the Boers and general Clements' scouts aro uoav near tho Orange river.

A complete Came Quito Unexpectedly. DuuiiA.v, March 2.���Correspondents avIio haA-e returned hero from Ladysmith say the relief came unexpectedly. At noon on Tuesday tho firing of general Buller's army seemed to recede instead of approach, and the garrison AA'as consequently depressed. E\\-eiybody was startled to hear the garrison's 4.7 gun firing. It had not been used much of late, owing to the diminishing ammunition. On hurrying out it Avas found that tho Boers Avere trying to remove the big gun on Bulwana Hill by the erection of a derrick. This proved that something extraordinary AA'as happening, The other garrison guns then directed their fire on Bulwana Hill with the result that the Boers Avere compelled to abandon the attempt Avith the derrick. Later on they placed the gun on a Avagou, which capsized in a donga. During the afternoon, Avhenever the Boers were seen approaching, the British resumed the shelling of Bulwana Hill. About four o'clock a terrific thunder storm broke over the toAvn, just after a message had been heliographed from Wagon Hill that the Boers were in full retreat. Other officers said they believed they could descry British cavalry, but most people supposed that the Avish was father to the thought. As soon as the storm ceased, the British guns reopened on Bul\\Arana Hill, gradually concentrating the fire on the left and driving the Boers before them Avith the object of preventing the enemy from hampering any British approach. Au hour later a party of British horsemen could be seen crossing tho fiat below Bulwana Hill at a distance of some miles.- It is impossible to describe the excite- ment and enthusiasm among the troops that followed. Most of the toAvnspeople had been driven into their houses by the storm and did nob learn the good iicavs uutil later. The storm broke out again at seven o'clock in the evening and con- 4tinued until two the next morning. It must haA'e seriously hampered the retreating Boers., The British gunners kept up a -sharp Avatch to prevent any further attempt to remove the Bulwana gun. The British naA'al gun Avas fired at intervals thioughout the uiglit and iu the morning a force Avas sent out to look after the gun and to occupy Bulwana Hill. Lord Dundonald's force' went after 'the retreating Boers Avhile four thousand of the besc men of the garrison Avent toward. Elands- laagte iu the hope of being able to cut off the enemy.

Dordrecht, Cape Colony, Sunday, March 4.-0 a. m.���General Brabant's colonial division, after a night's march, is now attacking the Boers in a strong position at Labuschagnes' Nek, on tho road from Dordrecht to Jamestown. Dorprkcht, Capo Colony, March 4.���Later���The engagement is proceeding Avith great vigor and tho Boers are gradually retiring before the British shell fire from their positions. A heavy rifle fire is being exchanged where tho British are engaging the Boers on the right flank, so that the Boers have no big guns in action.

After marching and bivouacking OA'er night the force reached the strong entrenched positions wliich they occupied and now hold, the the Boers being on the opposite hill.

London, March 4.-4:50 a. m.��� Her majesty has abandoned her intended visit to the Italian Riviera and has decided to remain home. Her decision to give up her customary spring holiday is accounted another proof of her deep interest and devotion to the AA'elfare of her people. On Thursday she AA'ill come to London for a bi;ief visit, remaining until Saturday, and she will undoubtedly receive a splendid ovation. Her heartfelt- dispatches to the generals > in the field and her visit to Netley hospital-have greatly endeared her to her people. - Beyond the signs of a general retreat of the Boers throughout Cape Colony, there is little 'news from the front: Lord Roberts, in his dispatches to the Avar office thus far published, says little, but he undoubtedly is active in some direction. The' Onsiand, the organ of the Afrikander Bund, says: \"The Boers Avill iioav confine themselves to tho defensive, abandoning an offensive policy.\" Abraham's Kraal, as sIioavii in the Avar oflicc' maps, is a group of three kopjes situated at tho junction of Kaal Spruit Avith Modder river. It is a natural point of concentration Avhich the Boers could make exceedingly strong, but after the proofs of the mobility of the army of lord Roberts, it may be doubted Avhether they aa^iII make a really serious attempt to bar his adA'auce there. A noticeable feature of all the recent preparations at the theatre of Avar has been the active employment of colonial forces, Avhich i.s in marked contrast Avith the policy adopted at tho beginning of tho Avar. The Australian colonics have decided to provide the 2500 men Mr. Chamberlain recently asked for. ft is now seen how near Ladysmith Avas, to sfarA-ation and the exhaustion of ammunition. The town could hardly have blood an-- other Boer assault or held out much longer.

London, March 4.���Whatever may be the financial procedure* or political plans of the ministers, lord Roberts has cleared the situation for them at home as Avell as abroad. He has silenced Alfred Ilarins- Avorth's guns, turned lord Rose- bery's flank and entrapped the peace, party as completely' as he did Cronje in his laager at the bottom of the riA'er. There is no more gossip about the reorganization of tho cabinet^ and the military Avriters, whose dispirited complaints of ministerial incapacity a vere. considered of vital importance a feAV weeks ago, are now charged Avith making much ado about nothing, British imperialism lias received a tremendous impulse and the meetings J of the peace party at Exeter Hall are broken up by a mob of patriots from the Strand.

DON'T PAY TWO PRICES for your clothing: * * Tub Nelson Miner is in a dilemma. It has committed itself to the introduction of party lines in provincial politics. In such an event it would be obliged to support the Conservative candidates. This Avould mean swallo\\Aring the eight-hour laAV, Avhich tho Miner has repeatedly denounced as the cause of all evil. Thus circumstanced, the Miner seeks to divert attention from itself. It accuses The Tbihune of truckling to Joseph Martin while his star AA'as in the ascendant, and AA'ith reviling him Avhen his fortunes sank. Those who are familiar Avith The Tribune knoAV that it differs from the Miner in that it never truckles to any individual or to any party. It refused to denounce Joseph Martin unheard; but AA'hen the matter resolved itself into a choice of the iudiA'idual Martin or the Semlin government it dropped Martin.

Is it surprising that our esteemed contemporary is gradually adopting the somewhat erratic political ethics of its patron saints���ex-alderman Beer and Hugh Sutherland? The Tuidlw Edoes not entertain a very exalted opinion of the Miner's methods, but it does believe that $7.75 i.s scarcely commensurate with the value of the goooN delivered. Indeed, $0 would have been little enough, and tho fact that it did not reach the latter sum might be taken as conclusive evidence that the influence at Ottawa of the Nelson end of the \"machine\" is, uot as strong as it should be. The Conservatives of Revelstoke, so it is reported, havo nominated Charles Wilson, lawyer, of Vancouver, as tlieir candidate. This Is a mistake, and Mr. Wilson will commit a blunder if he accepts the nomination. The interests of the Kovelstoke riding of West Kootenay aro too important to be turned over to the care of a non-resident, nnd if Mr. Wilson would be the loader of a party he must first win his .spurs at his own home���Van- -Josei'ii Martin does not propose to remain very long without a following. If the press reports can be relied upon he has got the executive of the Liberal Association of Vancouver in line aud has secured an endorsement for himself and his policy. This will no doubt tend to complicate\" matters in 'Vancouver. The city was represented in the last legislature by F. C. Cotton, who became leader of the Semlin party after the government's dismissal, and who is opposed to party lines. The senior representative was Charles Tisdall,* a prominent provincial Conservative, who will have to decide between the finding of the Conservative convention and the Semlin caucus as to whether federal party lines shall be recog- JlL^edoii not. Vancouver's third representative was Macpherson, the labor leader, who before the last session was convened was said to be wavering as to whether he should give his allegiance to Semlin or Martin. Macpherson is also a prominent Liberal. The fourth member was Martin himself. The general opinion is that Martin will contest one of the Vancouver sweats and secure all the support ho can from the Liberal party. Cotton will be in tho field as a Conservative opposed to _ federal lines. There then remains the labor and the Conservative parties to be _ considered. This confusion may account for the leader of the provincial Conservatives���Charles Wilson���seeking a nomination at Hcvelatoko instead of in his home constituency���Vancouver. The Kootenaian of Kaslo does not hesitate to publish baldheaded untruths regarding the reputed editor and manager of this paper. It says : \"If the manager of The \" Tribune will wait until a blue \" book now under preparation at \" Ottawa is published, he will prob- ���' ably see himself officially describ- \" ed as an individual who tele- \" graphed statements iu regard to \" the labor trouble to the govcrn- \" ment and then shirked appear- \" ance before tho commission ap- \" pointed to enquire into his allega- \" tions.

The secretary of the Kaslo Boaixl of Trade is having a difficult time in explaining that the board is not a mere tail to its president's political kite. Tiierk is one thing ihat the people of Nelson riding are a unit on, that is, the right to name their own candidates for legislative honors. They will not for a minute tolerate any dictation or interference from the politicians on the coast. The would-be candidates who are seeking influence at the coast might as well return home, for the electors ivill have none of them. People St. JOSEPH'S SCHOOL NELSON*. B. G.

Lord Roberts 1ms ut his elbow another trusted general in whom he believe* thoroughly���major-general Tucker, who has gone up to Lhe the Modder ahead of his bevei.uh division, which is only beginning to arrive, lie is junior in grade to lord Methuen, who is really a lieutenant-general, while Tucker' has only that rank locally, but it is thought by some that general Tucker will eventually command oir that hide, and this 'may be the fii^t -.step towards it. lord. Roberts having had full, power to deal with matters of this' Jkind as he may think right. General Tuekor has'much South .Afi iciui experience, as lie was with his. regiment, the old 30th, all through the Zulu war, and subsequently in Pretoria, in the days of the brief annexation of the Transvaal. lie is a very practical, rough and ready soldier. I have been reminded of his common sense treatment of his regiment when returning from a long exile in Zululand and marching towards Pretoria, He was met by lord Wolseley, who was ou his way to the Boer capital, and asked for a biuail escort of llve-and-tweuty or fifty \"steady, sober\" men:-\"Jlavcu't-got\" them in the regiment, sir,\" answered Tucker, \"not at this moment.\" -\"What he meant,was soon seen. Ou approaching Pretoria he halted a few'miles out, encamped the i(3gi- ment, and sent into town for sutlers and camp followers, with drink and so forth, and gave his men three days of uninterrupted \"enjoyment,\" as they thought. Wheu they had spent ail their arrears of pay, and had generally pulled themselves together,' he resumed his march, aiul his whole regiment was now steady and sober enough to have provided lord \"Wolsuley's escort four or five times over. It should bo added that general Tucker is of, the old school, that of the army of Fland ers, which swore. He has a plentiful supply of strong language when occasion need*. Succumbed to Heat. The news has reached here that Mr. (Joi'don Corbould of New Westminster, died a few weeks since iu Pretoria. He was a member of the first Canadian contingent', and dnr-- iug a march he, and soma others were overcome by the fatigue and heat of a. long march.\" They were completely exhausted - ami' were taken prisoners by the Boers aud subsequently were prisoner* of war at Pretoria. Mr, Corbould was so sickfiom the effects of the heat and marching lhat he was put in tin1 hospital, where lie died, wile was a son of Gordon hi.'Corbould, fornieily a member of the provincial pai liaiuent from New Westminster. The unfortunate young man was A'ery frail physically. As soon as the call for troops came ho was among the fitsfc to volunteer.' At first he was iejected as not physically fit for a soldier, but influence was^brought to bear and he was accepted. BUSINESS MENTION.

FERLAND & CO. .BAKER STKKKT CITY LOCAL NEWS Clayton, the smallpox patient at the isolation hospital, is now in the final stage of the disease, and is recovering rapidly. The patient will, under ordinary circumstances, be able to leave the hospital in a week, but the regulations provide that he shall be detained for a full week after all danger of contagion has passed. William Burns, inspector, of schools, has reopened his office in the Central school, and may be found there daily. He states that throughout the district the school attendance has fallen olf materially during recent weeks, owing to general vaccination. The teachers frequently have children taken ill in tbe schoolroom through exposing themselves too soon after undergoing the operation. He believes that the attendance will be normal within a short time. Dr. Rose, house physician at the general hospital, has compiled his annual report for submission to the meeting of directors to be held shortly. From this it appeal's that out of 316 patients treated during the year only four died, tho percentage being 2. Thirty typhoid cases were handled -without a single death, a result which is highly gratifying to the staff. The patients for the year are classified as follows: Paying. 101; C. P. It. steamers, 47; Ymir Gold Mining Company, 27; city charity, 22; ordinary charity, 19; and the total number of days' treatment was 3370. The medical cases numbered 132, and the surgical 7G. Twenty- eight operations requiring anaesthesia were conducted Avithout a death. Dr. Rose conveys the thanks of himself and staff to the Ladies' Hospital Aid Society and the city clergymen for courteous co-operation and assistance. William Roberts has applied for a renewal of his liquor license for the premises known as the Florence Park hotel near the city. The application will be considered at a meeting of the commissioners on the 17th instant. Half-a-dozen . mechanics' liens have been filed against the Noonday mining company, tho . aggregate claims being some $1500. An appeal to the supreme court of Canada has been entered in the case of Copelen vs. Gallaghan, which involves the rights of the Joker Fraction and Cody Fraction as against the Cube Lode claim. In this case the trial the judge gave judgment in favor of Copelen, but on appeal the decision was reversed. This was followed by a seizure of the property for costs as against Copelen, the costs amounting to $1703. The claims were advertised for sale, but Copelen has paid the costs and takenI>'au' appeal as above. The county court opens this morning before judge Forin. Before the civil docket is taken up his honor will try Clayborne, the inau committed for trial by magistrate Crease ou Saturday. The charge against Clayborne is that he was implicated in the disappearance of $130 lost by Edward Uaskin. If Clayborne, on arraignment, elects for a speedy tiial the case will probably be proceeded with at once. An unique documeut is on exhibition at the Cabinet cigar store in the shape of a five cent check issued by the C. P.-R. Frank Summers, who is employed at tho depot, was a nickel short in a recent pay, and the amount was forwarded to him later, a check similar in every respect to one which would be issued for a thousand times as great, being drawn to cover the amount. A pleasant social gathering took place last night at the residence of Dr. LaBau, where a party of intimate friends gathered to celebrate the doctor's birthday.
