description: 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.

(<- These may not bo true, but they :F are tending to inflame native f- passions to such au extent that it may soon be impossible to hold the natives in check, owing to the Boers "-���having deliberately bombarded the . native staadt, which is full of women and children. Colonel Baden-Powell has armed the natives, ���;. . but he Las only allowed them to . act on the defensive, although they ' ; have clamored to be allowed to go out and attack at the point of the assegai. They will be prevented as . long as,, possible from inflicting .;',... reprisals.on.the Boers." EVERYTHING W0fMC WELL In South Africa. JjONdon, March 19���4:30 a.m.��� ; The news from South Africa today is highly satisfactory to the British public. The relief of Mafeking is not yet announced, but it is extremely probably that this is al- ��� ready accomplished by colonel Plumer's advance. Lady Charles Bentinek at Cape Town has received a telegram from her husband in 'Mafeking, dated March 12fch, saying . he expected to join her shottly. The actual relief movements have not been publicly -developed in detail, but it seems that loid Methuen only started very recently, and is rather engaged in dispensing the Boeis of the district, than acting for Mafeking1s actual relief.
