The whole trouble, which has not only set all Russian society by the ears, but has also perturbed several foreign courts, including that of emperor William, is due to a question of baccarat and roulette. Last spring the czar, alarmed by the extraordinary increase of the scandals ac court, in society, iu the army and even among the high clergy, due to high play, issued an edict strictly forbidding baccarat or roulette. This ukase followed almost immediately tho startling discovery made by Nicholas that the chapter of one of the principal churches of the metropolis had pawned the church plate and jewels to pay gambling debts contracted at baccarat aud roulette. The array and clergy immediately ceased all play. Society has treated the ukase much akin to derision, and has been led by duchess Vladimir. The latter, the only foreigu lady who has declined to change the faith in which she was reared for that of her husband on marriage to a Russian duke, is passionately addicted to games of this character. To her is due the introduction of the roulette table as an article of furniture in the . salons of most of the palaces and mansions of St. Petersburg, and the edict of her nephew in no w;ay modified her openly proclaimed determination to visit no house and to attend no entertainment where roulette and baccarat were not provided for her amusement. On discovering the manner in which his orders were defied and the pare the grand duchess has played .in the matter the czar iu- tituf^fed .to her that unless she set an example of obedience to his request he would reluctantly be compelled to visit her' with a public token to liis displeasure by banishing her for a time from court and depriving her of the use of imperial liveries and imperial honors. BRITISH ADMIRAL'S REPORT On Pekin Advance. London, September ' 5.���The British admiralty has issued vice- admiral Seymour's detailed report of the experiences of the first Pekin relief expedition. It is good reading but embraces nothing not previously known. Referring to the harmonio_us_ac__ tion of the forces of the eight nationalities engaged, he- especially mentions captain von Usedom, of the German navy, and captain Mc- Calla of the United States navy. Regarding the latter he says: ^���'\"Captain McCalla was of the great- $��� est value to me and to all con- l'i cerned. He was slightly wounded in three places and well merits recognition.\" The report concludes as follows: \"When the fact that the Chinese beheaded any one they captured is considered the conduct of such officers or men as exposed themselves to capture is. to be praised far more than if the risk were taken against a civilized foe.\" Annexed to the report are copies of letters sent to the, senior officer of each nationality engaged. Most of these are complimentary notes, identical for the greater part, but each ending with a paragraph referring particularly to the officers with the expedition. That to rear admiral Kempff runs as :follows: \"I cannot conclude my letter without expressing to you, sir, the high admiration I have for captain McCalla, who accompanied ns in command of your officers and men. Their post was usually in the advance guard, where their zeal and \"go\" were praised by all. I regret to state that captain McCalla was wounded in three places, but con- i| sidering the gallant way in which * he exposed himself, I am only .equally surprised and thankful that ._ie is alive. Had he been thoroughly British he could not have stood by pie more loyally in every way and carried out more promptly any wish I expressed. I may indeed say the same of all those of his command. I hail this experience as further proof of the good feeling so happily existing between our nations.\" TWO WEDDINGS YESTERDAY McLeod-Irvme. Sfc.' Saviour's church was the scene of a pretty and fashionable wedding at high noon yesterday, the participants being Miss Catherine MeLeod and Herbert T. Irvine of the firm of F. Irvine & Co. The function was witnessed by hundreds of citizens. The church was handsomely decorated. Over the altar hung a great floral bell with streamers of white ribbon and the chancel was ornamented lavishly with sweet peas and carnations. About the pillars of the church Oregon grape vines were entwined, while the centre isle was closed to the public by barriers of white satin ribbons. The arrival of the bridal party was signaled by the opening strains of Meddelssohn's march. The bride leaned on the arm of her brother, Harry MeLeod, and was charni? ingly attired in white duchesse satin trimmed with real lace and chiffon, the bodice being hand embroidered. The veil was of white tulle fastened with the groom's present, a diamond aud pearl brooch. She was proceeded by two flower girls, Misses Bessie Forin and Edith Williamson of Sandon who were attired in white, and her bridesmaid Miss Jennie MeLeod, who wore white liberty silk and a picture hat trimmed with ostrich plumes. The groom was assisted by Harry Wright, mining recorder. The ushers were James Williamson and R. A. Creech of Sandon and James Green and Dr. Stoddard of Nelson. At the altar the bride was giveu away by her brother. After the ceremony the bridal party drove to the residence of the bride's mother on Silica street, where a reception was held. The bride was the recipient of-a handsome array of wedding gifts. The groom's gifts to the bridesmaids were gold bracelets and. to the ushers nugget scarf pins. Mr. and Mrs. Irvine left on the afternoon train for' Portland, whence they will go to San Francisco. O'Reilly-Fox. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning Miss Mary O'Reilly of this city was united in the bonds of matrimony to John B. Fox in the church of Mary Immaculate, Rev. father Ferland officiating. The ceremony was witnessed by a number of the friends of the0 contracting parties, who are well known and popular young people. The bride wore white silk organdie over white pean-de-soie, with a bridal veil and _orauge_Jblossoms.=_=���The���costume was adorned with a train' and ribbon trimmings, and the bride carried a bouquet of orange blossoms. She was accompanied by her brother, Martin O'Reilly, who gave the bride away.

Victoria, September 5.���Mail letters dealing with the fall of Pekin are now beginning to arrive here from Chinese ports. One correspondent, in describing the bombardment of the legations, says that on an average of 400 shells a day were fired into the defences for the first three weeks of the bombardment. Buckets- fnl of bullets were gathered in the legation grounds. During the greater part of the siege 414 people lived in the compound, and 304 marines and 65 volunteers, commanded by captain Poole,; defended the place. Eleven civilians were killed and nineteen wounded ; 54 marines and soldiers were -killed and 112 wounded. The attack on the legations was the strongest from July 17th to July 25th. At the latter date a nominal truce was made with, the Tsung Li Yamen and extended to August 3rd, although the Chinese repeatedly violated it. There was considerable rifle fire from August 3rd to August '11th, and then the Chinese mounted smooth bores. The mainstay of the besieged was an old gun used by the British in 1860, which was found in' a junk shop by Mitchell and a United States gunner. This was mounted on a Russian carriage found by an Italian. Ammunition was fitted to it, and it was called the Interna- tional^gun. The Chinese admit that they lost at. least 3000 during the siege. The foreigners did not waste their ammunition, shooting only when a target offered. The Chinese method was a continuous,' heavy aud indiscriminate fire. They would frequently advance to the barricades at night,- creeping up with their arms filled with bricks, and in the morning the besieged would find a new wall a few feet closer. They were so close finally that the enemy could be heard talking. During the last two nights the Chinese could be heard urging tlieir men to charge the foreigners and exterminate them before the relief came. - The Chinese soldiers replied that they could not stand the bayonets. The night before the relief they fired about four thousand rounds. The relief of Pekin was a notable achievement, chiefly for the forced march of four independent armies over a single, difficult road and in sickening weather. The opposition offered by the Chinese dwindled steadily each day after the fights at Tei Tsang and Yang Tsun, until the relieving columns were in sight of the city. The defence of the city, considering the possibilities of the case, was accordingly weak. The Japanese were still hammering away at the wall of the northeast section when the letter was dispatched. It was thought that the Chinese concentrated their forces there and thus gave the British and Americans an easy entrance. Speaking~bf\"the entrance of-the Americans, another correspondent says: They advanced along the left canal under cover, the 14th infantry leading, with the Oth infantry and the marines following. Captain Reilly planted a battery on a hill and shelled a pagoda near the Che Hua gate until the infantry got close in. The ,14th regiment was extended under cover before the wall about 300 yards away. Company E then went forward under the fire of the sharpshooters and scaled the corner of the gate, and lieutenant Gohn. planted the regimental flag. The regiment then crowded with the Russians through the gate unopposed. The last five days marching for the relief column was the worst. The thermometer was often over 100 degrees. The country was deep with sand, and the march led through shadeless fields of tall corn. The Japanese possessed the strongest endurance, and, being provided with the best transport, they made the pace. The British and Americans were pushed to keep up. General Fukusima, of the Japanese, said his troops could have reached Pekin two days before he did. And this was taken as granted. They never seemed to rest. Their cavalry and scouting parties were threshing the country ahead on their * flanks, and their outposts kept in constant contact with the enemy. The Throne is Safe. ' Chicago, September 5.���A dispatch to the Record from Moscow says: A report from Teheran says that after a desperate fight Ali Mahomet Bey, the i-ebel who has been trying to get possession of the Persian throne, has been defeated by the Cossacks hastily summoned to oppose his march pn the capital and has been thrown into an underground dungeon. When captured he emphatically denied that he had harbored auy intention of usurping the shah's throne. THERE WILL BE NO CLASH VICTORIANS HAVE RETURNED Received With Honors. Victoria, September 5.���Frank Finch-Smiles, J. _��� W. Jones,, and Arthur Carter, three of Victoria's volunteers who lef'- for South _f} * -- Africa with the firs,, contingent, have returned home,. and were received with great enthusiasm. The men were invalided home but saw a great'_ deal\" of fighting during their stay in South. Africa. Private J. W. Jones was in the thick of the Paardberg battle. He saw captain Arnold receive his death wound. Jones was only a few feet away at the time. The bullet was the deadly explosive, and it rendered the' officer unconscious instantaneously;.-He lingered for three days and dicii to the deep sorrow of all the Canadians.. On the same day, February 18th,:- four Victoria comrades, ,Monroe, Summers, Todd and Scott met their death. In all, the Canadian casualties that day, including killed and wounded, were about 80. The fighting commenced on the 18th and lasted for nine days when Cronjie surrendered. Private Jones was a witness of the surrender. In the Paardberg .fighting tbe Canadians were associated with the Corn walls, Shropshires and, Gordon -Highlanders, all of whoni were brave fighters and good comrades. Private Frank Finch-Smiles also was in the Paardeburg fight, but did not see so much of it as did Jones, as he was struck down in the memorable charge of the .18th. While rushing towards the enemy's lines a Mauser bullet hit him in the right knee and caused a-bad wound. Careful nursing, however;- I'esulfced in no serious consequences, and the injured limb is now nearly as well as ever. The battle started at 0:30 in the morning, just as the men were sitting \"down to breakfast. Suddenly they heard the rattle of the rifles and were then quickly got into line. It was the first experience of the Canadians and they were eager to meet the foe. Ifc was about eight o'clock when private Finch-Smiles received his wound and was taken to the hospital tent. Before this engagement they were on several wild-goose chases, bnt had not seen the enemy. Private Arthur Carter had the honor of taking part in the capture of the Sunnyside laager, where the Canadians so greatly distinguished themselves in their first encounter with tbe enemy. Private Carter was the only westerner to engage^ \"in-wl_a��\"Kipling would term the \"little affair.\" He was on transport duty at the time, and so got separated from his company. He rushed the laager along with C (Toronto) company. Private Carter was in general Smith-Dorien's division and got as far as Jacobsdal before being stricken down with enteric fever. CALLIHER WAS NOMINATED As the Liberal Candidate. Revelstoke, September 5.��� [Special to The Tribune]���At the Liberal convention held here today W. A. Galliher received the unan- aimous nomination. The convention was representative of the entire riding. There was a strong feeling in favor of Hewitt Bostock, the present member, but he resolutely declined to allow his name to go before the convention. The nomination of Galliher did not come as a surprise as he was generally regarded as a likely candidate. Fay Day for the Sailors. Bar Harbor, Maine, September 6.���This was reception day for the officers of the British and American squadron, and pay day for almost all of the Jackies. The feature of the day was the reception during the afternoon on board the United States flagship New York. The two admirals Farquhar and Bedford with tlieir staff in full uniform received the guests. Between the Powers. Washington, September 5.��� Within the last twenty-four hours tho United States government has received from its representatives at foreign capitals much material information in regard to the attitude of the powers on the Russian proposal to evacuate Pekin. These give the nature of the responses made by Russia to certain of the powers. It is stated authoritatively that if there was at any time a prospect of a serious international' clash this has been very largely, if not wholly removed by the harmonions character of the communications, the several governments are making. The exact nature of the responses is not made- public by the state department, for there are yet some replies to be transmitted, and until all of them are in the negotiations are considered in such an incomplete form that they will not be made public. It is said, however, that the answers go much beyond the tentative character of those heretofore referred to, aiid are of a conclusive nature, so far as showing the purposes of the governments, although they may not be regarded as conclusive as to the particular proposition advanced by Russia. The responses are understood to be rather long and somewhat argumentative, similar in this respect to the American responses. On the whole, the general tendency of the responses is such as to give entire satisfaction ��� here as to the course of the negotiations. The satisfactory progress of the negotiations along these lines has had the effect of directing attention to the personality of the envoys who probably will represent the powers in China in the final settlement. The impression prevails here that Mr.' Conger is eminently fitted for such a task on fche part of United States. Mr. RockhilPs name is mentioned as an alternate, in case Mr. Conger does hot care to.remain' in Pekin. to participate in. -the settlement. If the present state of < affairs in China is protracted until the arrival there of field marshall count von Waldersee, which should occur in about ten days or a fortnight, it is nofc to be doubted thafc the government of Germany will endeavor to have all the negotiations with the Chinese government conducted through that official as a representative not of Germany alone, but of all the powers. It is gathered that strong arguments will be advanced to support the advisability of combined action through one agency in this manner as the best means of securing a speedy and generally satisfactory termination of the Chinese trouble. The German foreign office appears tobeactive in furthering the negotiations, and quite a number of messages have pass_e_d__betw_een_JWashiugton_and- Berlin. Those persons supposed to have a correct understanding of Germany's attitude look for the suggestion of a compromise or middle course, which will be neither an acceptance nor a rejection of the Russian proposal, but will be such a satisfactory middle ground that all the powers, including Russia, can agree to it.. In another diplomatic quarter the strong belief is expressed that the requisite compromise will be found by China re-establishing a government aud naming peace commissioners. Official intimations have reached Washington that steps are now being taken towards the appointment of such a peace commission, including Li Hung Chang, the viceroys of Nankin and Wu Chang.and princeChing, though reports also have named Yung Lu and Hsi Tung in place of the two pacific viceroys. But while there is doubt as to the persounel of the commission, it is quite generally accepted among officials that some such move on the part of China has matured and will take form in Washington very soon. In that event it is believed by diplomatic officials that the entire status of the negotiations between the powers might be changed, and thafc Russia no longer would feel impelled to insist upon the withdrawal of her minister and troops from Pekin, as all these matters would be subjects for the commission itself to deal with. It is pointed out also that in the six days since the Russian-American notes were given to the world the sentiment has been growing stead ily in favor of continuing the presence of the troops at Pekin. In view of the declarations made iii the American reply to Russia, some question has arisen as to the course open to this country in case of a compromise or change in the present diplomatic status. It is said that the attitude of the United States is particularly favorable for adapting itself to any- change in change in conditions. Only in the one contingency of Russia's withdrawing her minister and troops has the United States government given the positive declaration that the American troops\" also will be withdrawn. But on the many conditions which may arise, either through counter proposition from the powers or a modification of Russia's original purpose, the United States has left its course open for future determination. RUSSIAN PROPOSALALTERED Ministers Only to Withdraw. London, September 0.���Sir Alfred Gasalee's dispatch, which shows that the situation in Pekin was unchanged on August 29th is the only Chinese news this morning. The cancellation of the order holding back the fourth Indian brigade is regarded as important.' It shows that whatever the outcome of the Russian policy, the British government is determined to have sufficient troops' on the spot adequately to protect British interests. Considerable significance is attached to the statement by the Journal de St. Petersburg as possibly indicating a modification of Russian policy. This paper is the organ of the Russian foreign office, its editor being a councillor of state. It is noted while the Journal de St. Petersburg announces Russia's determination to maintain the solidarity of tiie powers, it only mentions the withdrawal of the ministers, and not of the troops to Tien-Tsin. It is -believed the powers might agree to such a modification of the original Russian proposal. SN ., London, : September 0. ��� The Vienna correspondent of the Times, discussing the situation, declares that Japan has a strong disposition to act in harmony with the Unite'd States on the Chinese question. A Shang-Hai dispatch announces that German troops will land there today (Thursday). Curiously enough they will be located in barracks adjoining the residence of Li Hung Chang. United States consul Goodnow, according to the Daily News, says there, never was any necessity for landing troops at Shang-Hai. According to a Hong Kong dispatch, dated yesterday, Canton is more disturbed. Native shops dealing in foreign goods have been looted and sinister rumors ���prevail. The Cutch Wreck. Vancouver, September 5.���Captain Newcombe, of the wrecked steamer_Cutch,-and-several-of���the- crew have arrived home. Captain Newcombe declines to talk for publication before he makes his official report tothecompany. He,however, made the statement that the second mate was in charge when the steamer was run on shoal rocks at 11:30 at night. The rocks are plainly marked in the chart. Captain Newcombe was asleep at the time of the accident. After getting the passengers ashore and looking after their comfort, he proceeded to Skagway and chartered a steamer to take the passengers there, so thafc tho accident delayed the passengers a very short time on their journey. The cargo is a total loss, as it is all under water and consists chiefly of provisions and clothing. It is evident that Captain Newcombe must have conveyed favorable news to Mr. Darling, manager of the Union Steamship Company, for Mr. Darling says that he expects to see the Cutch in Vancouver in three weeks' time, and adds that the Cutch can stand more ill usage, owing to her build, than any boat on the coast. Will Treat Them as Rebels. New York, September 5.���The London correspondent of the Tribune says that since lord Robert's annexation of the Transvaal, it is generally regarded at home and in South Africa that the war is practically over. The Stock Exchange takes this view. The effect of the proclamation will be to cause all Transvaal burghers now in arms to be treated as rebels and to cause them to forfeit belligerent rights. MATTERS AT A STANDSTILL In Amateur Athletics. During the past three weeks practically no progress has been made in connection with the proposed Amateur Athletic Assoeia-, tion, and it is apparent that the. organization will not be a success . under the present auspices. ' \" - When the association was formed - a mistake was made in appointing\" certain officers who were not .con- - suited in advance. The result off\"- this was that it became almost im-'. possible to obtain a meeting of theT? },#���?& officers, some of whom have never'J;--^v|$ attended a.meeting though advised' in abundant time. . The principal matter which the officers of the new association havd to grapple with was the collection of membership fees. Lists were- made out and placed in the hands:' of four members of the executive'; committee for collection. The re-7 sponse netted from $150 to $175; At this juncture the workers beri came convinced that unless some ; change was made no further pro-; gress could be' accomplished,'' and * confined their efforts to interview-,.- ing members and ascertaining whether or.not their fees would be - forthcoming. . - - 7-;; Two courses are now open to the- association. ' If a complete reor-'. ganization is carried out and a set - of officers elected who.will co-operate, the association may be placed on its feet again and successfully floated. The-alternative is to return the fees paid to date, allow, the project to fall, flat, and to add another tombstone' to the lot; where a previous undertaking of a\" similar nature is buried. 7-'\" I ���P \"tt,1 ' ^t-i '.���{'��� I ?'��5_. .���\"rS#��l 7:-#��i 'X'sd \"... -.r.l ��� i. .

The Boers who attacked Ladybrand are reported to have numbered over 2000 men.

There was a tim| when the two parties divided upon the tariff, when the Conservatives stood for protection and the Liberals for free trade, but even this difference has passed away since the last general elections. How completely the Liberals have changed front upon the question of free trade versus protection is shown not only by the present tariff but by the speeches which its leading members are now making throughout . Ontario. By many it has been claimed that the present government was approaching the goal of free trade by the only sensible route, by gradual reductions in the tariff, but that the progress ���was no less slow than sure. This reasoning, howeArer satisfying it may have; been to the uncompro mising -Liberals of the old school, is now being dispelled by the leaders. Speaking the other day, in Toronto, premier Koss boldly burned his bridges behind him, and made a strong protection speech. He said the time had come when Canada should work up its forest and mineral wealth into finished products rather than continue the policy of exporting raw materials. Premier Ross concluded his remarks in the following significant terms: \"You \" may rest assured that so far as I \" may be able to contribute to this \" end, during the remainder of my \" public life, whatsoever energy I \" possess shall be applied in that \" direction. While it is gratifying \" to see our export tables enlarged \" by the sale of natural products, \" it would be still more gratifying \" to see them enlarged by the val- \" ues of such products enhanced by \" Canadian skill and labor.\" With the tariff issue removed, what divides the two parties save a question of ins and outs!' i ' ��� . -. ��� W. A. Galliher of this city wil be the Liberal candidate for Yale- Cariboo in the approaching federal election. At the Liberal convention held at Revelstoke yesterday he received a unanimous nomination, which in itself was a fitting tribute to his popularity. In Mr. Galliher the Liberals* will have about the strongest candidate that the constituency could produce. The speeches that were made at the recent banquet of the manufacturers in Toronto are now receiving their political complexion from the newspapers, but the great point made appears to have been lost sight of. What the manufacturers complained of most was their treat- =ment=by-the=railway=companies=rin- the matter of rates. The development of manufactures is of more importance to the country than the temporary swelling of railway dividends, but the scant attention given to the matter by the political press suggests that the parties have alliances to make and to retain which weigh more with them than the general prosperity of the country. . Lord Roberts has formerly annexed thgr Transvaal, but the war will not be over until colonel Sam Hughes completes his chapter of the war's history. The author prom ises that the famous Hughes letters will be mild reading compared with his treatment of liis detractors in the forthcoming history. The Hughes history will be ready for the press in two or three weeks after the author's return from London. EDWARD BLAKE. That Edward Blake has added to his list of political failures in Great Britain, is the opinion of his staunch friend aud admirer, editor Pirie of the Dundas Banner. In describing Blake's position in London the Canadian newspaper man says: He has a law practice here, and his son is associated with him, but it seems a pity that he should be wasting his time here when he could be so much better apjireciated in his own country. For there is no disguising the fact that he is not appreciated here. I have always felt that Mr. Blake was one of the ablest, if not the ablest man that Canada has ��>roduced, but iu politics over here he is wasting himself. I was in the house of commons the other day, and heard a discussion over a bill affecting Irish affairs, in which two Irish members, Swift MacNeil and T. P., O'Connor, were taking part. Well, Tay Pay and Swift; MacNeill were hammering away at this bill, finding all the fault they could, as it was a government bill,, and their duty was to pick holes in it.

H The ride of Jim Watts is fib to go dowu in history beside that of Paul Revere, for he saved the lives of the foreigners in Tien-Tain. In- . stead of peaceful colonists to whom to deliver his message of warning, it was Watt's duty to ride sixty miles through., a hostile country teeming with savages ready to submit him to slow torture. When the Boxers, after two days of bombardment, had almost succeeded in overcoming the foreigners , in Tien-Tsin, nine men of tho legations started for Taku in a boat. Later in the day came back the word that the boat had been run aground and the nine men killed. Later it proved that this report was not true, though the boat had been run ashore and the nine men scattered and obliged to flee for their lives to escape the fury of the Boxers. The result in either case was the same���no word , of warning had reached Taku, where the foreign gunboats lay, and from which place alone succor could come to beleaguered Tien-Tsin. When the report came that the other messengers had been killed, Jim Watts volunteered to ride to Taku. Watts was born in China twenty-two years ago, the son of a Taku pilot, and he is brave as a lion. The foreigners insisted that the youth be accompanied by three Cossacks, and, though Watts preferred to make the ride alone, he allowed himself to be prevailed upou. It was just afc nightfall when he left Tien-Tsin. The city was Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, U. S., Atlin, B. C, and Dawson City, N. W. T. blazing behind him, and some shells passed perilously near. He left the place noiselessly, but as soon as he was out in the open country he put spurs to his horse and fairly flew. Again and again shots came whizzing over his head,andbefore he arrived atT(Ucu^onear^was^swiBg__ his side. Chinese ^ingTuselessiy at\" rail but and tried to seize his bridle, but he swung his whip vigorously, and in the dark many a native was kuocked down by the horse's flying feet. Arrived at Taku, Watts did not lose a moment, but, securing a small boat, put out to admiral Kempff's flagship, and his message was the first news the admiral had that the foreigners at Tien-Tsin were in any serious danger. The world knows the rest of the story. Tien-Tsin was saved, and Watts returned to the city with the allied troops on tho 23rd of June, marching in with the Welsh Fusileers. He was cheered on all sides. Watts, who was a private in the local volunteer company, was at once made a first lieutenant, and will probably be given a medal by the>foreign powers. THE TICHBOENE DOLE. The ancient manor of Tichborne lies near Winchester. Two hundred years prior to the Norman conquest this manor was known as Itchenborne, because within its borders rose the river Itchen. Shortly after the first Plantagenet ascended the throne sir Roger de Tichborne, knight, married Mabel,: only daughter and heiress of sir Ralph de Lamerston of the Isle of Wight. After many years of godly living and kindness to the poor, lady Mabel, realizing that she was near to death, besought sir Roger to bestow upon her the necessary means to enable her to leave a loaf of bread to all applicants on Annunciation day, forever. Sir Roger was unwilling to ', Imperial Bank of Canada HEAD OFFICE. TORONTO. Capital Authorized Capital Paid up Rest $2,500,000 $2,458,603 $1,700,000 D. R. Wilkie, Goneral Manager. E. Hay, Inspector.

He said, in effect: \"Tomorrow will be Christmas. All the land from yonder oak tree that you can traverse north and east While the morning yjilejgg_btirus_l will enclose within parallel lines cori'esponding on the south and west, and it shall be your own.\" The following morning lady Mabel was borne to one. corner of the park, and, at the lighting of the Yule log, commenced her painful task. Before the cry came from the hall that the,log was in ashes she had won a tract of fifteen acres of rich land, known as \"The Crawls,\" in memory of her painful task. The land was surveyed and- deeded to lady:Mabel, but her heroic deed had hastened her end. A few hours later the parish priest was summoned to prepare her for death. While awaiting his coining she called her household around her and prophesied that the house of De Itchenborne would prosper as long as the dole to the poor should be continued, but that if it were ever neglected the family name would be lost for the want of male issue, and that in such event the baronet of the day would be the father of seven sons, the eldest of whom would have seven daughters, ] but no sons. She then accepted the ministrations of her confessor, and died. . _r Through more than six centuries of sunshine and shadow the house of Tichborne continued at Annunciation to distribute the dole. During the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries 600 loaves were baked on the day preceding Annunciation. This number grew in time to 1000, 1500 and 2000 loaves. In the eighteenth century more than 3000 loaves and from ��65 to ��90 in money were distributed annually. Though for more than 000 years j this charity fed the poor for one day in the year, kept its foundress in pious memory, and furnished to other wealthy families an example worthy of emulation, its distribution became at length an intolerable burden. Tichborne park became in mid-Lent the rendezvous of tramps, beggars, ' costermongers, pickpockets, sneak thieves and acrobats, Avho camped in extemporized shelters all over the fields and gardens- of the manor. With the distribution in 1799 the dole was discontinued. By a strange coincidence, in 1821 lady Mabel's prophecy was partially fulfilled, for in that year the head of the family died, leaving seven sons. The eldest succeeded to the baronetcy, and =died=ini==1845r==leaving====fsevetf daughters. He was succeeded by his eldest brother, who, on his marriage in 1826 with Miss Doughty, a Lincolnshire heiress, had taken the name of Doughty Tichborne. At the death of his only son, iu 1835, Mr. Doughty-Tichborne, impressed by the singular fulfillment of lady Mabel's prophecy, ..besought his elder brother to restore the dole. This was done, with certain restrictions, confining it to the poor of the parish of Tichborne., In this manner it continues to be distributed to the present day. Edison's Greatest Rival. Nikola Tesla is Edison's great rival in the world of American invention. He is a Servian and was born in 1857. After a period with the Servian Telegraph-Department he went to Paris as an electrical engineer and then to America, where he was employed by Edison. He soon started out for himself, and erected the Tesla Laboratory in New York for independent electrical research. His most remarkable invention was that which is adopted in the appartus used to harness the power of Niagara Falls, but he is the inventor of many other improvements in dynamos, coils and lamps. He says that his new invention will abolish death through \"live wires.\" MONEY TO LOAN A FULL LINE OF Front Doors Inside Doors Screen Doors Windows Inside Finish local and coast.

Trouble Over Board. New Denver Ledge. Trouble has been brewing for some time at the Queen Bess. It broke on Sunday when the whole force of 45 men walked down the hill. The men, complained about the table-board and, wanted a change in the .kitchen. It is not probable. the mine will be long withont a force, for the management has always been looked upon by the men as the most fair and considerate. It seems a piece of rank foolishness for a force of 45 men to be forced to go down the hill because of the inability of the cook to set up a decent meal, and it would seem that had the men acted with more reason and less haste the trouble could have been averted. The fact that manager Scott has always treated his men well is sufficient ground for the belief that he would have complied with the demands of the men in this case had they been made in a more conciliatory way. But, when a few of the disturbing element attempted to dictate to the others and through them to the management, it is time they were given to understand who is running the mine. The property will=resume���at^once^with^r^hew cook and another force of men. Gollom Takes Another Bond. J. Frank Collom, who bonded the Speculator group some days, ago, has taken a bond on another Ten- Mile property, the two-thirds interest in the Gertie R. fraction, situated on the summit just above the Speculator, and owned by John Werely and Dan McPherson of New Denver. The bond does uot carry with it any work, but hinges on the acceptability of the Speculator. If the Speculator turns out according to expectations the Gertie R will be taken up. The price named for the two-thirds interest is $0000, the bond maturing ono year from date thereof. W. C. Adams holds the remaining interest, having purchased it from Pete Lindquist some weeks ago.

London, September 5. ��� John Hays Hammond, the American mining engineer, sailed for Denver on the Cunard line steamer Saxonia, from Liverpool, yesterday.

Robinson, the South African magnates, aud J. Pier pout Morgan and other capitalists, Mr. Hammond has gone to examine a group of mines in Colorado.
