The Tribune was published in Nelson, in the Central Kootenay region of southeastern British Columbia, and ran from November 1892 to November 1905. The Tribune was published and edited by John Houston, an outspoken journalist who would later embark on a successful political career, which included four terms as the mayor of Nelson and two terms in the provincial legislature. Houston had established the Miner in Nelson in 1890, and, after leaving the Miner in the summer of 1892, he established the Tribune to compete with his former paper. In August 1901, the title of the paper was changed to the Nelson Tribune.

AVe have heard numerous rumors that the siege will be raised, but so far that is nob the case. We are pegging away on quarter rations patiently supplemented by the occasional capture of cattle.

New York, March IS.���Isaac N. Ford, London correspondent of tho Tribune, cables the war conditions at 1 a.m. as follows : "The Orange Free State is part of the queen's dominions. General Gatacre has occupied Springfontein and general Pole-Carew with the guards has joined general Clements at Norvals Pont. The Free State commandoes have disappeared in the south, and their guns have probably been buried or concealed. No resistance has been offered to the British .columns in the southern district and the burghers are everywhere returning to their homes. There are many press dispatches from Brabant's, Gatacre's and Clements' columns, but there is only one story. The Free State forces are disbanding and the rebellion in the Dutch districts of Cape Colony is at an end. "Bloemfontein. is like a capital which has been under siege and has been relieved by a friendly army. The British troops have been welcomed as allies, and not sullenly as. _the enemy. The farmers are supplying the .army with meat, vegetables, milk and eggs, making good bargains. "Bobs" is almost as popular at Bloemfontein as he would be in London. The Free Staters are virtually out of the conflict. "The advance of general Roberts' army northward is now dependent upon the establishment of a new line of communications for supplies from Norval's Pont, and this cannot be deferred many days. Bridge builders are at work at .Norval's Pont and Bethulie and only a small force will be required to guard the line of communications. "There is no definite information respecting president Steyn's operations at Kioonstaadt, but it is doubtful if he succeeds in rallying his followers there. He will certainly fail to do this unless the Boers cross the Vaal in force and fortify Ventersburg lidge. They are rumored to be entrenching on the northern bank of the valley. "The last stages of the campaign promise to be short lived. The military experts do not believe that president Kruger will be able to mass 10,000 men against lord Roberts, and this will "leave not more than five (thousand men in front of general Buller.

Breaking Out Again. Manila, Match 18���9:30 p.m.��� General Otis considers Manila tho most troublesome center in the situation today. The insurgents Junta here in conjunction with that in Hong Kong is growing active. The military authorities have been forced to .put a stop to Mabini's intercourse with the public.

Ford- in the London cable to this morning's Tribune, says : "John Bull having eaten leeks and bitter herbs is now iu the promised land feeding on milk and honey. He enjoys his triumph and resumes his natural attitude of supreme contentment with his relations the human race. The pax britannica has been established at Bloemfontein and in due course will be extended to Pretoria. The queen is.:.the wisest and most gracious of sovereigns, and she has accepted St. Patrick as her patron saint for one day in the year. Roberts is the greatest general living, Kitchener the most energetic of military organizers and Tommy Atkins the best soldier in tiie world. Lord' Salisbury is a masterful; statesman who has commanded the neutrality of the continent, has summed up the history of the war with presidents Kruger and Steyn, and has proudly proclaimed that England does not pro-., pose to accept the intervention of any power in South Africa. Now that he has passed out of the valley of the Shadow of' Death and reached the crests of the Delectable Mountains which are not kopjes bristling with rifles, John Bull looks out upon a. united empire and<is highly pleased with himself and his surroundings. "This good humor has colored the comments of the English,press upon the action of the 'United States"in-taking notice of the despairing appeals of the Dutch presidents to neutral powers to assist them in making peace. The friendly tone of secretary Ha5rs* dispatch has been recognized, and there is no bitterness in the icfiection that England did not embarrass the United States with*equally friendly- overtures at the close of the war with Spain. , " Some mild references are made to the political mo ti yes of presiden t McKiniey in taking up piesident Kruger's appeal when the European powers were too wary and cautious to do po, but these expressions are not unkind to America. "The queen has exerted a strong influence, in brief, about this cordial acknowledgement of English obligations to liish valor and fortitude, and the prince and the princess of Wales have supported her by opening the Irish exhibition yesterday and honored Ireland at least -for-one day-even-inthe metropolis^ where Gladstone was lampooned for his home rule policy." - He pays a graceful tribute to the Irish generals and the Irish troops serving in the South African war, in which he says, " the shamrock/ will be worn with sincerity or from respect to'the queen's example.

' THE SMELTER MAY RESUME Toronto Men Want It. There are several rumors current to the effect that the Hall Mines smelter will shortly be in operation .again as a purely customs smelter. From what may be regarded as excellent authority, The Tuihune learns that Messrs. Gooderham and Blaekstock, the Toronto^ capitalists who are interested in the War Eagle and' Center Star companies, have started themselves for Lon- don for the purpose of acquit ing , the smelter. It is generally conceded that, in * view of the condition of the Hall Mines, Limited, the mission of the two Toronto capitalists will be successful. This, cannot but be regarded as wcleomj news to the people of Nelson and probably accounts for the present .visit of SI. E. Croasdaile to London. Should the Toionto men .secure the smelter they would be able to operate it to much better advantage than could the Hall Mines, owing to the steady supply of ore which they could receive fiom their own mines in Rossland. At present all of this ore is treated in the Canadian Pacific Raihvay Company's smelter at Trail and the switching of it to Nelson for treatment would probably work a genuine commencement in the recognition of NelsJon as the chief smelting point for ' Southern Kootenay.

ABERDEEN BLOCK Don't Smoke a Cheap Pipe us :magS��^a. See THURMAN, Tobaeeonist. Tub Conservative convention, which met in Nelson on Friday, dealt with two matters relating to mining. The one, dealing with the taxation upon mines, more closely affected the mine oAvncrs; the second was the eight-hour law, to maintain which the working miners have been straining every energy. The Conservative party is openly pledged to the eight-hour law; it is not openly pledged to the mine-owners, Jn view of this the working miners had *evcry reason to~ expect, some consideration ; but what - did they receive? The delegates of the pledged party wrangled for several hours over the measure of recognition which they would give the working miners and then* disposed of the matter by .saying that it " dept ecates disputes between labor " and capital, and that it will be the " function of government to< earo- " fully investigate tho working of " the laws dealing with the indus- " trial conditions." It may therefore be fairly said that tbe Conservative party fell down on thecight- * hour law, theifesuo which the working ' miners had most at heart. Notice how differently they handled the interests of the mine-owners with respect to taxation. Not only do they note that they have a claim -wortliyof consideration;- but~they_ even go tho length of suggesting the remedy. They advocate an important departure in the system of mining taxation. They suggest that instead of taxing the net value of the output, the tax should be shifted so as to fall upon nothing but the net income of the companies irrespective of the value of tho property or the amount of money invested. The Conservative (party was not openly pledged to the mine-owners, bnt the manner in which they dealt with their alleged grievance, and turned down the cause of tho mine-workers, shows that their sympathies are with the mine-owners and not tho miners. bers, it. is not entitled to the confidence of the electors. It is idle for the Conservative party of Kootenay to attempt to ride both horses in the eight-hour controversy. The eight-hour law is either a good or a bad thing. The people of Kootenay want men who have sufficient courage to take a stand upon the question. It would have been bad enough if the Kootenay Conservatives had come out openly and championed the cause of the > mine- owners. Then they could at least be credited with some courage; but as matters stand they are before the people as a body of men who either lack the judgment to pass upon the merits of an issue, or- the courage-to take a stand once their judgment has been arrived at. It matters little to the electors which is the cafe. , Tine organ of' the mine owners is much put out because the Irish Hag did not float above the city offices on St. Patrick's day. The city does not happen td have an Irish flag, or a Scotch flag, or an English flag. But this will not appear as a reasonable excuse to a paper that'is lack- ing in reason. ' Hon. Smith Curtis, premier Martin's minister of mines, has an interview in the Rossland Miner in which he intimates, that if premier Martin is retained as his honor's chief adviser, the general elections end of He estimated that the output of the gold diggings of that district this year will exceed the value of $25,- 000,000 ; but the chances are that the man who made the estimate has mining claims to sell to anyone who wishes to speculate. Nelson's Vice Consul. William Power Kenibbs, of Boston, who has been appointed consular agent in this city is now iu Vancouver, the guest of United States consul Dudley. Mr. Kenibbfi, who is a young man of 21 or 25 years of age, has already considerable distinguished himself. In 1895 he went to Cuba and served for live months in the insurgent army, and found himself finally in Morro castle, from which ho was eventually released through the good offices of consul-general Fitx.hugh Lee. Mr. Kenibbs was a singer by profession, and at the outbreak of the Spanish war he was singing at ono of the opera companies iu Boston and also acting as musical and dramatic critic for the Boston Globe. As soon as war was declared, , Mr. Kenibbs, then a member of a militia organization, withdrew from that and enlisted as a private in the regular army, 7th U. S. Infantry. His regiment was one of those that accompanied general Shafter to Cuba, and in the fight at ElCaney,Mr. Kenibbs was wounded seven times. One bullet passed through his throat, thereby destroying his profession of a public singer.

INCORPORATED 1670. Seville Tiik Conservatives of Kootenay have endorsed Charles Wilson of Vancouver as the leader of the provincial Conservatives, but they refused to affirm the eight-hour plank in the Wilson platform. The only logical deduction which eiin be l< \ made from this is that the Koote- "\ nay Conservative's do nob regard as sincere their leader's advocacy of the eight-hour law. Jn this the great majority of the electors will i agree with them. When a political party is so divided upon the chief Lssuo in a campaign, that it dare not publish j the convention speeches ��fits mem- I " Wu will never have good gov- ment until we adopt party lines," ih tho cry of the party-line men. If this is true, why is it that the government of Ontario has been .so bad for a quarter of a century ? Tt has been bad, for have not such good Conservatives as Meredith and .Whitney so declared for years. The government of Quebec ha.s been disgraceful at times, or the party leaders have been untruthful. The government of Manitoba has been bad, or Hugh John Macdonald would not now be in office. Yet all three provinces have been governed ou party lines. If the above are statements of facts, what would likely be the result in this province were party lines adopted? The party that gained power would be denounced as tin fib to govern by the party that failed iu securing office, just as the Turner crowd has denounced the Semlin crowd. Party docs not make men either capable or lion est, in or out of office. World Wide Paragraphs. A report from Dawson says it is Oranges for Marmalade Hudson's Bay Stores tkli:piiontk is to see what was left of her, ancl much to his astonishment, it was found that she .had been red and protected by two pumas, male and female, and had suffered in no way except from exposure and fright. The pumas brought her raw meat from the animals they had killed and slept by. her each night like watchdogs. A Soldier's Only Thought. T came where , the Coldstrcnms were hit the hardest, writes Charles Shaw in The Toronto Telegram. There was a cluster of 20 or 00 dead aud wounded. "Look ' ere, sir,"' yelled a Coldstream, bending over a comrade, as I was hurrying forward, for the shots were flying a little hot. The man was hard hit in two places 'on one leg. "Wot d'ye think a' that?" J didn't think anything, except to be sorry for the poor beggar, who never said anything more than, "I wonder, Townie, wot the little girl will think of me 'opping round on one leg." "Think," _auswered _ the "townsman, '"Think7"Godsakes, man. it's> ashillin' a day pension for life." -And as the blood, which couldn't be btaunched, gushed forth anew, 1 wondered if the women of England, yes, and'Canada, knew what Avar, which thoy deemed so glorious, really meant. Six feet of manhood going back on one leg to the little girl in far off Kngland who was his only thought Avhile bullets whistled over him and the pain of his wounds wrenched his eoul.

GENERAL BOTHA'S PROTEST The Boera and the Wounded. GKNEKAL BULLEIl'S HlSAIlQUAU- tkhs, Cjuuvjclrv Camp, February " 0.���I tun enabled to send you a hurriedly, made copy of extracts ' from an officer's report, of what took place on Spion Kop after the fight, to general "Warren, in compliance AA'ith his own request. "A field cornet, after I had pointed out that delay in removing wounded men was a A'ery serious matter, allowed the removal of the Avounded in our immediate neighborhood. A clerically-dressed Boer, avIio said he was secretary to general Botha, then came up aud asked me to go and speak Avith the general, who Avas ou horseback at a short distance. In polite terms the general asked me Avho had given leaAro for the removal of the avouu ded. I told him. The general, then said that he was' in supreme command, and that he had giA'en no permission. 'Besides,' he went on to say,''there are several reasons Avhy I should not allow you to carry tnvay your wounded, aiid bury your dead. Wc .are how in possession here. I have had no official application made either'to remove the Avounded or to bury the dead. I haA'e tilso to complain that a letter has been sent in by your senior medical officer, saying that avc do not alloAv your pounded to be taken to your hospitals. t Such charges should nol/be ���made. They will embitter this conflict. We wish nothing more than iliat after eveiy ' engagement all should be earned on in a, christian Avay, but tliero mint bo^rcciproeity. What can you pay to your keeping general Jvock till ho, died in your . hands ? Again, Avhat has been the behaviour of lord Methuen ? He took four of my doctors prisoners and my ambulance aud sent them to Cape Town. The four doctors ho has since sent back, but the ambulances ho has kept. Ib that a christian, or ovon a humane xvny of acting ? There is general Kpke- >vieh. Jle has refused tiny longer ��� to recognize the Ucileva Cross Avhen mod by us. Only the other day at Acton Holmes you took twenty- three or twenty-five of our avouikI- ed as prisoners. Js all this to go on ? Now you Avaut mo to give up all your wounded.' " After the writer of the report had replied explaining certain * points raised by the general, the fatter gaA'e the permission desired, and then said: "Take bhiK mossagc~to your"gen~ oral. Tell him wo want to fight out this quarrel in a christian way ; that ib should bo clearly understood between us Avhat is to be done after a fight and during the war. But there must be reciprocity���there must be reciprocity. Ask him to .send Dion list of those of our people who 'are in his hands. Theii' relations and friends want to knoAV Whether they aro &Iivc oi' dead. I myxclf will givo, at ajl Ihutw, the fullest Information of those avo have belonging to you. That he, may , (iount upon. As ] give up your wounded, ho should give up ours. You can uoav carry away the ��� wounded and bury tho dead. There are also hix. Avounded avIio are prisoners iu my hospital down there. They can also bo taken away, or I will give an order that one of our jtnibulauceis convey them to nny places decided, on by your medical authorities, There is with us in hospital a wounded superior officer. He is'nob to be removpcl. J Avill decide about him later on." Aftey shaking hands AA'ith the general aud Ms eecretary, and thanking the former for the permission he had granted, I withdrew. The writer then resumes: ''I venture to think ib a matter of considerable importance to draAv intention to the attitude of the JJoers Avhom we met during tho carrying; out of our duties on thesp three days. There was a sadness, iUmosb anguish, in ihe way in which they referred to our fallen boldiprs.

'I Avish politicians could see their handiwork.' 'What can God in heaven think of this sight?' 'What a cursed war, that brings these poor fellows to such an end!' 'Wc hate this Avar. This A\'ar is accursed. Every day on our knees Ave all pray that God will bring this AA'tir to au end.' 'It is not our AA'ar;. ib is a Avar of the millionares.

We arc men of peace. We want to go back to our homes aiid farms, to sow our seed aud reap out" fields, and not to make war. Good God ! Wheu AA'ill it end ?' " I do not hesittite to say that in the three days I spoke Avith some hundreds standing around us in groups of from ten to twenty. Apart from ; several foreigners, chiefly SAviss aud Italians, the Boers seemed to me to belong tor; the farmer class, some dressed like English gentleman-fanners, and others, Avho formed the majority, less well dressed ; but with no signs of rag-; gedncss about them, and with scarcely any evidences of the wear and tear of this campaign.

The new wing consists of three comfortable rooms in wliich five beds will be placed for the accommodation of the firemen who sleep iu the building. The large apartment now used as a sleeping room is to be partitioned iuto an office for the chief aud sleeping quarters for himself aud the driver. The other large room is to be used' as a sitting and recreation room for the'members of the brigade. Nurse Hearle, who is at the detention hospital, is recovering nicely from her attack of chicken pox. She will be quarantined in the building for a couple of weeks. Clayton, the small pox patient, is practically well, though a couple of spots not wholly healed, necessitate his being quarantined for some time yet. Thorpe & Co., Limited, received a shipment of bottles on Saturday. The carload contained 10,000 bottles. G. Lt. Lennox has purchased two lots, 50 feet frontage, on Mill street in block 4.4. from Walter Askew. Mr. Lennox will build a residence on the property. A heavy slide occurred on Saturday night a short distance east of Farron on the Columbia & Western. Several hours delay ensued and the train ou the Rossland branch was not held at Robson. The Boundary passengers came through to Robson and were given staterooms aboard a steamer lying at the dock there. Yesterday* a train was sent out from Nelson to bring them in. Mrs.. G. W. Fairweather gave birth to a son on Sunday. Both are doing well. Twelve men came down from the Athabasca on Saturday. Tho Granite aud Poorman are shut down entirely. The labor trouble presents no new'aspectst, Hedley Sinclair, the engineer of theXmir who' was badly scalded last week is "improving, though slowly. He suffers great pain at times, and it is doubtful if ho ^will be able to leave the hospital under two months. The resident physician, Dr. Rose, states a that skin- grafting operation may be necessary to make good some of" the cuticles which was most severely scalded. ^ >- The late St. L. Brown, who was fatally scalded aboard the tug Ymir carried a life insurance of $2000 in the Independent Foresters. The documents necessary to secure the payment of the policy have already been forwarded to the officials of Court Sherwood Forest in Toronto to which deceased belonged from where they go to the permanent officials who issue the check. Above Pive'iiiile-poiutTtlicThand of the railroad, builder is in evidence on the north bank of the lake. Hundreds of fires have been started to burn timber on the right of way and the smoke from these overhanging the lake in a dense cloud. At Nine-mile, where John McMartin makes his headquarters blasts are fired every few minutes. A little town has sprung up at this point, a telegraph office being among the conveniences at tlio disposal of the residents., Tho fishing season is in full swing, but up to iho present time fishermen have been more plentiful than catches. On Saturday and Sunday various parties were on tho lake, the rapida being a favored distiiet. The trout are not taking flies to any extent yet but will attack bait if it is of the right kind. On Saturday several fine trout were taken off the city whatf with a fly. Within a short time Cedar street will blossom out as a residential street, At the present time four houses are being under way, and Other lots have been disposed of to parties who are desirous of building during the present season. The public works committee of the city council has under consideration certain improvements- to the street. William Gooding comes before police magistrate Crease this morning charged with the theft of $15.00. It is alleged that when delivering goods for the Nelson Soda Water factory Gooding collected tlm amount iu question and ap- j propriated it to his own use. He has already pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery, aud sentence was deferred until this last charge is investigated. Enthusiastic' cyclists who have had their wheels out during the last few days are wondering what happened to the cycle path. Last fall and during the winter the path was used by teamsters, who quite deserted the ordinary roadway, with the result that the path has vanished and a succession of deep ruts occupies its place. Unless some measure of protection can be secured, the cyclists say it is useless to spend more funds on tho cycle path. A. Lome Becher, a Rossland mining broker and at one time a resident of Nelson, has been ill with smallpox and has been removed to the pest house at Rossland. The William Hunter Company, Limited, recently disposed of its mercantile interests at Phoenix, in Boundary district.,.. The purchaser was Michael McBean of Toronto. ��� Owing to the closing down of the three chief mines in the Rossland camp, the miners for the past ten days are said to have been leaving that town at the rate of 35 a day. Most of them arc going to the Montana, Idaho and Colorado camps, while some are heading for other centres of mining activity in this province. _ Over $70,000 in deposits were withdrawn from the banks of Rossland in one day last week by miners quitting that camp. But then this exodus of men and money was offset by ' the transference of two saloon licenses from Canadians to Italians. This means, as a Rossland man expresses, it, that "Columbia avenue will soon be a street made up of dagoes and other low-grade foreigners." Since the Gtli instant the level of the lake has risen 15 inches. The rise on Saturday was two inches. These figures are obtained from a thoroughly reliable source. The rehearsals for the dramatic entertainment being got up by E. P. Whalley are * proceeding satisfactorily, and the various actors are acquitting themselves exceedingly ���well. W. H. Dowsing will also give au exhibition of conjuring and sleight of hand. The entertainment will be i given at the opera house one day next week. ' Captain Campbell of the Angerona now owns a deer. On his Saturday trip he saw the animal swimming across the narrows, and, after backing aud tacking his little steamer during nearly an * hour's chase, he succeeded in roping the animal. Captain Campbell says he intends' to try and tame it. The St. Patrick's day concert in the opera house on Saturday in aid of the building fund of the Roman Catholic church was a great success, ancl nearly all the leading local amateurs took part. The instrumental part was furnished by Mill- ward's orchestra. According to a promise made last year by Dr. Doolittle, a block of stock in the Nelson Coke & Gas Company, Limited, is offered to citizens of -Nelson in today's issue. As the works are now in operation, citizens have an opportunity to investigate the merits of the business. M. Lisbet Leon of Paris is registered at the Phair. He is hez-e to inspect tho Whitewater ~mine~on Rover creek on behalf of some of the Parisian stockholders in that property. His stay in this country will be very brief. Between 150 and 175 members of the Ymir Miners' Union are at work in the neighborhood of that town at the old scale of wages, namely, $3 a clay for muckers and $3.50 a day for miners. Yet never a word of complaint is heard from the mine owners employing them. All the complaints come from the mine owners who are employing the $2.50 and $3 men. Mrs. R, L. Brown, whoso husband met his death by an* accident on the tug Ymir, returns thanks to the friends and members of the fraternal societies who did the family so many acts of kindness during her husband's short illness aud since his death. The members of the Ymir minez's' union held their first annual ball on Friday evening, the same being largely attended* and 'thorxaigl'ily enjoyed. The proceeds of the ball were given iu aid of one of* Ymir's citizens who was in needy circumstances, as the result of a long spell of illness. J. P. Swedbcrg, who has been a year at his old homo in Sweden, is back in Nelson looking none the worse for his trip. ���MSP Stoves Stoves We have the finest line of COAL HEATERS ever displayed in the district.
