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."@en, ""@en ; edm:aggregatedCHO "https://open.library.ubc.ca/collections/xtribune/items/1.0188079/source.json"@en ; dc:format "application/pdf"@en ; skos:note " DAILY EDITION BY MAIL FIVE DOLLARS A YEAR WEEKLY EDITION BY MAIL TWO DOLLARS A YEAR \"*3- EIGHTH YEAR NELSON: THURSDx\\r MORNLTO JUNE 14 J900. PRICE FIVE CENTS MAY INTEREST ROWING MEN club V All Sorts of Sports. The officers of tlio rowing aro inaugurating nn active campaign, for new member.*, ancl are meeting with considerable success, despite the fact that the present is not a particularly favorable juncture to raise funds. The oarsmen hold .nn unusually good brief, however, and'the'membership of the dub will probably be doubled as a result of their efforts. If they had gone into the undertaking two months earlier the task would have bi^en much easier, and the outcome far more satisfactory, though it is better late than never. Nelson's . facilities for boating are, perhaps, unequalled in the province, and no legitimate reason exists why the rowing club should not be the pre- m'er sporting organization in the city, except that lack of funds has hampered the management up to the present. It i.s not surprising, however, that the club has not .prospered as it should have done. The*.- facilities at the club house have uot been such as to attract members except among those who enthuse over the pastime and are content to go in for the sport under any conditions. The present management have ambitious views as to' the program for the future, and if they succeed in carrying through their ideas, the rowing club- will prosper. What is required as a starter is a neat club house, not necessarily of elaborate architectural design, but one which will have an abundance of\" rack rjom, well appointed shower baths and a couple of comfortable sitting rooms with, perhaps, a sniill gymnasium. Such an institution attracts a large number of persons who would never thiuk of affiliating with the club under present conditions, and would make tho club a live social organization, thereby en miring its pio��perifcy. The great difficulty iu tluvway of accomplishing such an undertaking is one of finances, but this can be solved by forming a joint stock company and M'Siin^-shares to prospective members. 'It has beon accomplished in a dozen Canadian cities with no more enterprise than has marked tho growth of rNelson, and thoj present season, with its regatta and water carnival is a roost auspicious moment to float the venture. The ^ Rossland eleven will be matched to play here, however, aud failing this a team match may be put on. Nelson can turn out a really good cricket team if the system of choosing players solely on their merits is adhered to unflinchingly. The bear killed on Mouday night by Leu Gobey was probably the first in this province to fall to a regulation military rifle charged Avith a steel clad bullet and cordite explosive, in view of which the effect of the shot is of interest to sportsmen. Bruin was not over 75 yards away-when Gobey fired, and the bullet struck him behind the shoulder, passing clean through. TJie bear ran a short distance and then stretched but stone dead. The projectile had passed through the outer covering of the heart, causing. paralysis. In entering\"'the bullet made a tiny mark, not large enough to admit a lead pencil, and had passed out of a similar hole without tearing the flesh iu its passage, which is not remarkable considering that its velocity for the first 500 yards is,at a speed of 2,000 feet' per second with a penetration in the same ratio. Scarcely a drop of blood escaped from the points of entrance or exit. Alex Grant hit another of the-bears with a Winchester, but the animal carried the bullet away, leaving a trail of blood. The members of the Nejson Rifle Association are determined that if they do not make good scores.it will aiot be for want of practice. Six riflemen were practicing yesterday afternoon, and their scores are appended. .11.

A subscription list will be circulated, aud it is stated that a substantial amount is already assured. Nelson will be well represented in the Dominion day sports, particularly in the sprinting. Among those in training for the sprinting events _ are_George_ Nunn, -Kirby 1 JtouglabS and JoeThompson. George Nium's ability as a sprinter i.s well known. His best performance was at .Winnipeg, when he made the 100 yards in ten seconds fl it. In this race he strained a ten- dun and has never been quite fio good since, < although the injured tendon lias been slowly improving. Nunn starts active training tonight aud if lie enters the competitions the balance of the runners will have to travel to win-out. Joe Thompson is also a well known .'-printer, his favorite race being the 220 yard dtuJi. At Ka*lo Thompson won out hands down, and will be faster than ever for the celebration. Kirby Douglass is an old timer, having held the championship of the Pacific coast. Jle is more or less of a dark horse here, but beat several fast men at Silver- ton on May 24, and is sure of a share of the purses on JDominion Day if he keep1* in condition, Tom Henderson, who is running with the iirc team, is said to be contemplating a shy at tho 220 yard purse. He has never run here, but is known to be a fast man, ancl liis friends predict that ho will finish well \"up in the bunch. Another new man is training regularly near the reservoir on the hill and may give some of the fast men a close run iu the 100 and 220 yard events. The local cricketers are beginning to bestir themselves in the direction of arranging a game for June 30, or one of the\" demonstration days. Lack of a suitable crease has put a damper on cricket in Nel- bou, and the club has not reorganized for the season up to date. The association football club now numbers fifty-two members, and gives every indication of being a live organization. A meeting took place last night ^at tho Waverley hotel, 28 members being present. After several names had been added to the membership roll the matter of holding a tournament hare .during the Dominion. Day celebration was gone into. A communication was read from the Silverton team expressing their willingness to come here on July 3rd, while Trail was reported as doubtful aud Kaslo not heard from. In view of the heavy expense involved in pulling off the tournament, the meeting concluded to cut the affair down to asingle game with one or other of the well known.outside teams. The matter of choosing this club and completing arrangements was leffc to tho executive. An application will be made to the celebration committee for a grant toward paying the expenses of the visiting team and purchasing a trophy. The meeting then directed its attention to the immediate necessi- ties_of the _olub. A_discussion_re- garding practice nights resulted in Monday and Thursday nights being selected for full practices, the understanding being that tho othor athletic\" organizations aro agreeable. Goal posts are to be erected at once, and as these are located at the extreme ends of the fields the footballists ean kick iu goal any night in the week without interfering with other sports. J). \\\\\\ Dewar was elected coaeher, his duties* being to officiate as referee during practices, arrange tho players and coach them in team .play. ._ Other matters of minor importance were gone into and an adjournment made to a later date, when the committees will report. The baseball sports who havo predicted disaster'for the Nelson ball team on their forthcoming trip to Spokane, will be reassured on learning that the Blair college team defeated the Spokane Athletic Association nine, against whom Nelson will be pitted, by 11 runs to 6 on Tuesday. Blair was beaten badly here last summer, and was turned down hard at Rossland last month. Nolson has beaten Rossland twice, and Rossland trimmed Blair twice. The inference is that Nelson is a better team than Blair, and if Blair beats the .Spokane Athletic club outfit, Nelson should certainly do likewise. Sam Neelands is out of the ball game for a week or two at least. He was trying to bat a few of Roekenfield's inshoots, when one of them landed on his ribs under the left arm, A large swelling raised at once, and Neelands is too sore to practice. NEWS FROM THE TRANSVAAL South African Items. London, June .14.���4 a.m.���The dispatch from lord Roberts clearing up the situation at Pretoria and along the communications stands alone, military observers noting that ho mention is made of prisoners, assume that general Dewet got away with his forces intact. General Buller entered Volkerst on Wednesday, passed through Charleston and Laing's Nek. The much damaged blown up, but the that the repairs can be four days. The advance troops of general Buller saw the Boer rear guard four- miles distant yesterday. It was estimated that 8000 Boers were withdrawn. The townspeople at Ermelo counted 15 guns. Three hundred Free Staters released from guarding duty have gone to join president Steyn's force in the eastern part of Orange River Colony. General Rundle has sent notice to the Free Staters that unless they/ surrender by.Jiine 15th their farms and other possessions will be confiscated. President Kruger, according to a dispatch from Lorenzo : Marquez, keeps a locomotive fcwith steam up attached to; the car in whi^b. he concentrates the executive office of the government, and he intends to leave Machadorp soon and to establish the Transvaal capital at Nel- spruit, in the mountains, a fine defensive region. The .state printing press is at Machadorp, producing leaflets containing Avar news for distributing among the Boers. It is again reported at Lorenzo Marquez that the Boers are advancing through Swasiland free from auy imputation of ulterior motives. J< It was stated that the Belgian secretary of the legation at Pekin, was probably Philip May, formerly with the Belgian legation in Washington, aud prominent in social and official circles. Lord Roberts, it appears, has countermanded the order given to Strathcona's Horse to land -on the coast and to penetrate to tho Transvaal through the' Swasi country. Mr. Schreiner, the premier, and his colleagues, resigned last night. Sir Alfred Milner accepted their resignation. ' ' General Buller's casualties on June 10 have been issued by the war office. They were 27 killed, 177 wounded, 3 missing. ~ The Portuguese government is again reported as fearing that the Boers will enter Delagoa bas' when forced to retreat from Lydenburg. The Portuguese have only 1500 troops in East Africa and would be powerless to prevent an incursion. UNITED STATES' VIEW OF IT Chinese Situation. Washington, June 13.���The state department has heard nothing\" officially \"about the reported killing of the American missionary and Japanese secretary of legation at Pekin. In fact, nothing has been heard from Conger since his cable last night up to the close of office hours. Tho news of the killing of an American missionary caused a shock at the department, where it is realized that thin adds greatly to the gravity of the problem awaiting settlement by the United States. Definite official information was received today from the foreign office of one of the most important continental powers, stating that the Tsung Li Yamen iiad notified the minister of that power at Pekin that the dowager empress would not object to the presence of foreign troops to China territory. The, empress dowager's acqui- \" escence in the plans of the powers is felt to remove a threatened complication, and at tbe same time to give evidence that the empress dowager is no longer yielding to the anti-foreign clamor. In official Russian quarters the rumor that tho empress dowager has sought a refuge at the Russian legation in Pekin is discredited, and is resented as a bit of inspired intrigue designed to create the impression that Russian sympathy is with the anti-foreign element. It is pointed out that Russia's course has been marked by the utmost reserve, for while it would have been possible at any time to land forces in China, the Russian force actually landed has been comparatively insignificant, mainly for the reason that Russia desired to be whollv CHINESE PREPARE TO FIGHT Guns Trained on Embassy. London, June 14.���The Chinese are entrenching outside of Pekin to oppose* the advance of the international column. A dispatch from.Tien Tsin, dated Tuesday, June 12tl|,'.says: \"I learn that the Chinese have gims trained on the American mission and the British legation. , Two thousand Russian cavalry,, with artillery, have lauded at Taku.\" A dispatch from St. Petersburg says that the ships of the Russian Pacific squadron bii the active list, as well as those at Vladivostock, have been ordered to proceed with quick dispatch to ^Chinese waters. The'foreign office confirms the report of the engagement between the troops of the international col- /'unin and the Boxers on Monday. It says that 30 or 40 were killed.

The supplies of ammunition at Coomassie are not sufficient to allow of offensive measures and must be husbanded in ease of reinforcements not arriving. Tho march for the relief of Coomassie will be met by^a great number of rebels, who have constructed stockades and put obstacles in the way. \"The state of health of the Coomassie force is good, but 3000 persons of the native community are in a state of destitution. Immediate assistance is required. \"The reinforcements which have reached Gold Coast, most of which have crossed the Prah, comprise 100 of the Lagos force, 50 of the Sierra Leone frontier poliec,-with-Maxim* and field guns.

Further reinforcements of 900 meu are being sent from Sierra Leone and northern Nigeria, and will reach Cape Coast Castle in a few days. DOUBLE BRITISH VICTORY In Transvaal .and Free State. London, June 13���[Special to The Tribune!.���After a week's silence lord Roberts has been heard from, his line of communications having been practically restored by means of a complete victory gained by generals Methuen and Kitchener over general Dewet at the; Rhenoster river yesterday, June 12th. The Boer camp was captured and the burghers were scattered in all directions. A lengthy dispatch forwarded to the war office by major-general Knox from Kroonstadt, presumably sent there by messenger, reads as follows: \"Kroonstadt, June\" 12.���We have been requested to forward you from lord Roberts the following dispatch from the Pretoria presidency at 8:08 a.m. today: \"Pretoria, June 12.���Pretoria and Johannesburg are perfectly quiet and several of the inhabitants have expressed gratitude for the peace and order which prevails. \"After surrendering the city Botha retired to a place about 15 miles east of the Middleburg road. He had a small force at first, but. dur-: ing the last few days his numbers have increased and his being so near the town kept, up the excitement in the country, prevented the burghers from laying down their arms and interfered with the collection of supplies. It therefore became necessary to attack him. This I did yesterday.. \" ' He held a very strong position, practically unassailable in front, which enabled him to place the main portion of his troops on his flanks, which he knew from former experience were his vulnerable parts.

It Avas stated by the company's officials that cars were running on every line in the city, going above the regular schedule in some cases, and on all meeting the demands of traffic. More men are now employed by the company than there is work for them to do, according to general manager Baumhoff, and not only is the force being constantly increased by men coming in from other cities, but from the ranks of the strikers themselves, he stated. Tonight cars are running on all lines on about the same schedule as last night. Lines to the north and south are still guarded by police, but in the central and western portions there was no trouble, and the police have been in a great measure withdrawn from the cars. : This permits the strengthening of the forces along the southwestern and southern divisions. The Southern electric line is in operation tonight for the first time since the strike was inaugurated. This line is regarded in police circles as the most difficult of all the lines* to run safely after dark. Every precaution was taken to prevent interference and violence. This line traverses the district where, two weeks ago, seven persons were wounded by bill lets in one day. Mrs. Gladstone Dying. London. June M.���Tt was announced lasfc evening Mrs.'William E.

Dr. .John Miller and professor Herbert Hill of Buffalo, agreed there was unknown instance where there was light colored blood iti the viscera half an hour after death from acid, but neither agreed in full with authorities whose statements havc been read during the trial. None of the experts sworn have fully agreed with the authorities read on technical chemistry. The most important testimony of the morning was given by A. Hamilton, a chemist of Auburn, to whom the syringes, found in Ben ham's house had been taken for examination. He described his analysis and liis examinations and said he found on the syringe evidence of the disease which it is claimed Benham's wife contracted from him, for which it is alleged she used prussic acid as a douchere. He said that the rubber of the syringe, which had been vulcanized, contained oxide of zinc which would absorb and retain acid if ifc should touch it. and that lie made tests in the presence of witnesses and found acid indications. This testimony substantiates the theories of the defence and attorney Rice for tbe prosecution endeavored to shake ifc on cross-examination, but without effect. Awaiting Official News.

It was devoted largely to the discussion of the Chinese situation. Secretary Hay laid before the cabinet dispatches from minister Conger, wliich indicate that; the situation is very critical. The steps that have been taken to reinforce admiral Kempff were gone over. It was decided to stand by tho policy which has been entered upon of pushing measures for the protection of lives and property of American citizens and acting inde pendently as far as possible.

New York, June 13.���A special to the Tribune from Washington says: \" The navy is to build warships aggregating over $100,000,000 in cost as soon as the builders are prepared to undertake this great program, which calls for 11 armored ships, practically doubling the present American sea power iu this class, and for three highly improved Olynipia 'type of cruisers. The five battleships for whose hulls, and machinery' congress has appropriated $18,000,000 are ready for. the builders to bid upon tomorrow. Plans for the six great armored cruisers, more. powerful than airship afc present-in service, .and to cost for hulls and machinery alone over $25,000,000, are well advanced, and should be finally approved\" next month. The general features of the enlarged Olynipia type were determined last fall before congress appropriated $2,800,000 for the hull and machinery for each of them, and there is no reason why their keels should nofc be laid this summer. The navy department is also preparing the specifications and advertisements for 35,000 tons of the highest quality of Kruppi/.ed armors, which is expected: to cost between $17,000,000 and $19,000,- 000. The' complete construction program authorizes contracts for hulls and machinery alone amounting to $51,900,000, which includes five battleships at $3,(500,000 each, six cruisers at $4,200,000 each, and three improved Olympias at $2,500,- 000 each. The battleships known as the Pennsylvania class are to be nearly 16,000 tons displacement, or over \" 5,000 tons heavier than the Oregon, more than 100 feet longer and with at least three knots higher speed. The six eruiseis of the California class, of 11,000 tons, 23 knots speed and 18 knots steaming radius, will .!,'j 'unmatched in the world..'

Mr. .Sbuart- \\Voitloy is a rion-in-Iaw of rear-admiral Schley, aud is now in Europe. Mr. Crocker coiiips from San hYan- ci^ca. He has half a million invested in the house. The magnitude of the bufcine^s transacted by Price. McCormick & Co. may he ab least partially understood i'ronl the fact* that at their down-town offices. Xo. 70 Broad- v.vy, they employed one Iiunthed and six bookkeepers, clerks, steno- graphoiv. and telegraph operators. Thousands, of telegrams were sent out daily, and it has been no unusual thing for the wages of messenger boys, called to-iiie messages at outside telegraph offices, to amount to seventy-five dollars weekly, ab a rate of two cents for _<\"ich telcgijuiijilctl. This iu addition to the expense of the private wire& iu tho office, which was not le-s. than twelve hundred and fifty dollars a day. Branch offices wore established in a score of cities, and iho agents of the firm covered nvory part uf the cotton-producing country. The ^notice' of tho suspension of payment was given out soon after noon, and it was a surprise to nearly till member^ of the ��tock exchange, though rumors tha'ta big house whs in trouble had been afloat since Monthly. The assignee is XV. .1. Curtis, of bhe law lirm of Sullivan 4V Cromwell. William Nelsou (Yonruell of this firing who will havo charge of the affairs of the suspended house, has au enviable record in assignment cases. _. He was the assignee of Ilowe.ll,' Decker A; Co , the brokers carried down in tho Vdlarcl failure ten years .ago, and in two months settled np the a 1 fairs, paying creditors in full bo llio amount of bwel\\e millions of dollars, and enabling the firm to re- Hiime business. .No failure in Xew York .since thab time lias had so Urge a list of liabilities until the piesent dUaster occmred. The cotton market has not been Mich a bed of quicksands for speculators as the wheat market, yet tho ti'dcle has seen some great i oversea, nnd the notable ones have crushed operators whose experience and daring put them in the front rank. A little more than ten years ago, Solomon Hanger, a Li verpool broker, utienipted to \"corner\" the pioduot, and loot a fortune in the collapse that marked the ruin of liis plans. Jn New Orleans, five years ago. Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. Peter Labouisse, who had become one of.the most prominent members of the cotton' exchange, went down in a panic and was swept into obscurity. A year later, .John II. iuman, who had been on tho right side during l/ibouisse's effort -to hold up prices'and profitted largely by the fall, started a \"corner\" on his own account, and failed as so many had done before him. The i'millions he had amassed during a long and successful career .in the trade melted away like snow, and ho was forced to retire, a bankrupt. His death followed speedily. A single reverse, however, seldom conquers the spirit of one who has known what it is to ride the stormiest waves of success, aiid there is little doubt that Theodore Price will climb back to his old place in a few years. The assignee intimates that there will be no great loss to creditors, and ib is reported that even Mr. Crocker's special invest- meut will nob be sacrificed. Ibis certain that the failure did not make even a ripple in Wall Street, and the disposition of those who hold the embarrassed firm's notes and bouds seems to be that of consideration, with no desire to crowd matters to an extremity. The day of the disaster-was to have seen the head of the firm take a good-by look at single-blessedness. Mr. Price had-invited his bachelor, friends to a farewell dinner,, se.b for lasb evening, but .the entertainment .was,���-.r of course, deferred. His marriage to Miss Harriet Eugenia Dyer was set for Monday of next week, and the probilifcy of its postponement brought many expressions of regret aud sympathy from friends of the couple. ?

The tortuous course of this one vine, when brought out by his brush, appears, to the Avestern art critic, as crude and without merit, whereas, in reality, it is full of interest.

The following outline of the pro-, hibibion measure to be introduced iu the legislature by premier Macdonald. is published by a Winnipeg paper: TJie act, which will come into force June i, 1901, makes provision fos- the entire closing of all places whoi e liquor is sold, both in bulk or by the glass, with the exception of drug stores, which are permitted to sell under very stringent regulations, chiefly under orders of a physician, and for illness only.' Any person caught infringing the act will be subject to a fine of nob less than $200 and not more than $1000 for the first offence,- and imprisonment of not le.is than threo mouths \"v\\ibh hard labor without the option of a line for the second breach. TJie wholesalers and manufacturers will not be materially affected, as they are protected by tho Dominion laws of trade and commerce, but so far as this province is'concerned they will not derive one cent of revenue, except from liquor allowed to drug stores. Under the act they are prohibited from making sales of any kind iu the province except* in the instances stated, bub will still have the power to import or to manufacture for _f vndo outs-ide_the .province They will be prohibited from giving free drinks or dispensing liquor by bhe bobble or flask to tlieir friends. Auother feature of the act will be that no man can import liquor by the bobble, flask, cask, or auy other way for Jlis own private use. .It was still the hope of many that that they would be able to bring ia their daily \"stint\".from 'Toronto or elsewhere, bub even this consolation is denied them. Por the enforcement ot those regulations provision ia made by way of giving the in-' spcetor i'nl!.powers of .search, etc., and ample rewards for convictions. The promoters of the measure claim that the intention is to show that a full prohibitory law can be enforced despite the arguments of their opponents to the contrary. Japanese Designs. The system by which the'Japanese are taught the art of designing is largely responsible for the peculiar character of their work. The Japanese student who is taught di awing is given a small book, in which the designs are printed in small squares, until he has grasped the salient feature of each. He is then sent out into the open country, and told to observe the works of nature spread out before him in all their luxuriance. Finding some suitable object for his attention, he proceeds to reproduce the same, introducing, perhaps, some imaginative detailb. It is here that the system of squares comes in. Those elegant stems and feathery petals, which are apparently thrown together without restraint, are really The reliever of Mafeking, says tiie Loudon Daily Mail, is now officially announced to have been brevet-colonel Bryan Thomas Mahon, D. S. b., of the Eighth Hussars���a Kitchener man and au Irishman well under forty years of age. It is an enviable thing to go down to posterity as the man who relieved Baden-Powell. Colonel Mahon received his commission in January, 1S83, and was gazetted to the Twenty-first, Hussars. A month later he was transferred to-the Eighth Hussars. He got his company in-1888, and was and was adjutant to his regiment from 1890 to; 1893, gaining, great praise for his tact and capacity for work. He won his majority in 1897. - .-/'._ V He was transferred to the Egyptian army in 1896, served as staff officer to sir Herbert Kitchener in the Dongola expedition of that year, and took part in the operations of June 7th and September 19th at Pirket and Ilafir. He was mentioned in despatches and received the Distinguished Service order and the Egyptian medal with two clasps. He served iu the Nile expedition of 1897-9S, aud was present at the battles of Atbara and Khartoum: he was mentioned in despatches, and was promoted to the rank of brevet-lieutonant-colo- nel. Those services brought him three more 'clasps to his Egyj)biaii 3 medal. * - �� Xext year, 1899, colonel Mahon was still on the Nile, taking his part in the operations which terminated in the final destruction of the Khalifa. Perhaps the best work he ever did in the Soudan was not- longer ago thair January this year, when acting as A. A. C��, and being at the same time in charge of the intelligence department of the Soudan. Sir Reginald TVingato, fearing that Ahmed Fedil might join the Khalifa, lost no time in despatching colonel Mahon in command of the cavalry, camel corps, four Maxims. four field guns, and some irregular Sudanese battalions to intercept him and hold him till he came up wibh the main forces. This colonel Mahon accomplished raosb successfully. Sir Reginald Wingate, reporting to lord Kitchener afterwards, wrote : '_ l_I_cftmiot_speak_iu.sufficiently- strong terms of the excellence of bhe services performed by this officer. I invariably placed him in geueral command of all the mounted troops; his personal disregard for danger, intrepid scouting, and careful handling of men, all _ fit him for high command��� his bold and .successful seiy.uie of< the position in front of Kcdii's camp, and liis conduct of tho fight before I came up. show him to be possessed of exceptional qualities as a commander, and I have the greatest pleasure in recommending this valuable officer to your favorable consideration.\" Lord Kitchener evidently did not forget, and lo him is probably due the fact,that colonel Mahon was selected to relieve Mafeking. Colonel Mahon is a typical Irish officer, cheery and kind in manner* and is idolized iu the rOnglish Hussars. Like most soldiers who have gained distinction as cavalry leaders, he is a great sportsman. He is a first- class gentleman jockey, and has scored many triumphs between the flags. He is likewise a keen rider to hounds. It is a happy coincidence that colonel Baden-Powell should be relieved by a brother Hussar. Birmingham Fixed. Hamilton Time-. Birmingham will not blab ; that was finally decided at Toronto \"Wednesday, May '40, nor will he go hungry. Ou or before the 1st day of July proximo, the ex-organiz;ei of Ontario Conservatives will receive party named by sir Charles Tupper all letters and papers in his possession, which might be used to the disadvantage of the Tory party. Nor Avill Birmingham appear before the corruption commission to give evidence. His health will ere long necessitate his residence in the western states, And,'tis he will be well provided with means of * up- port before his departure, he will have no excuse to return to Canada before the close of the investigation. ���-\"���Rfrminghretii' Aras-asked by a reporter this evening if this Was true.\" He said \"1 have no knowledge whatever of any such settlement. As far as I am concerned, the dispute between the 'Conservative party and myself stands exactly as it did two weeks ago. 1 have a friend at Ottawa, who is acting as what might perhaps bo called a medium between the party and myself, aud he has said nothing whatever regarding regarding any settlement. The sum named, $0000, is the amount of salary which is in arrears, besides a small amount of expenses. It is four years' salary at $1500 a year. I shall be very glad to get the amount. I only hope the Conservative party will be honest enough to .pay what is coming to me. I intend to press my claim for arrears of salary still further, of course. I have uo letters to hand over to them, nor would I. make that part of the settlement if I had any.

Beiili.v, June 13.���A case of military brutality has occurred at Finkemvalde, Pomerania, resembling the case of lieutenant Von Prueswitz, who ; was sentenced to four years' imprisonment in a forb and to dismissal from tiie army in the autumn of 1895 for running a workman through the back with his sword at Carlsrhue for no' other reason than that the man, wheu entering the cafe, accidentally pushed the chair of the lieutenant. In this instance Herren |Paulberg and Richard Dallman got into an altercation on the street with several .officers. One of them drew his sword. Dallman' seized the weapon and ran off. The officer ordered some soldiers who were passing to pursue the man and recover the sword. In carrying out the order the soldiers wounded Dallman seriously, his death ensuing yesterday.' Thus far no action has been taken by the authorities.
