Durhax, Natal, December 28.���Winston Churchill, on arriving here after his escape from the Boers, received an ovation. He says that from conversations with members of the Transvaal executive at Pretoria he learned that the Boers began the war with trepidation, but that president Kruger is now confident Great Britain will sue for peace. Jn the highest Transvaal circles, Mr. Churchill asserts, there is serious talk of a compromise by which Great Britain would cede the territory now occupied by the enemies of the two republics, pay an indemnity of ��20.000,000 and acknowledge the complete independence of the Transvaal. Loxdox, December 21)���1.40 a. m.���During the continued lull in the military operations in South Africa the papers are filled Avith letters and articles criticising the government and the campaign, aud suggesting i emedies, improvements and alterations in the plans, and the like. The Times complains of needless censorship and concealment. It cites the fact tliat-nothing has yet transpired to show how. general Gatacre came to lose 600 -men at Stormberg, The dispatches from the front represent the Boers as in a nervous condition aud in constant dread of the British advance, but this is possibly an exaggeration. A correspondent of the Daily News at Frere camp announces that a tramway is being constructed from the railway to a hill commanding the Boer position, aud that along this the British, will convey heavy guns. Cape Town dispatches complain of inadequacy of hospital arrangements. It is now estimated tliat the war will cost at least ��00,000,000 and it is suggested that the sinking fund of the national debt should be suspended for five or six years in order to defray the cost.

Ernest Mansfield completed a deal yesterday which, so far as cash outlay is concerned, is one of the biggest ever made iu Nelson. Por the last week he has been negotiating for the purchase of 38,000 shares of the Excelsior Gold Mines of British Columbia, Limited, a Loudon company at present operating the Joker and Derby groups at Camp Mansfield. These shares were part of the purchase price on the bond taken on the propei ties in August last. The original owners of the claims were G. W. Taylor, A. G. Lambert and Robert McGregor. The last named received $3500 on December 20th, with a further payment of $15,000 due on February 1st for the purchase of 10,500 shares, his interest in the group. Taylor aud Lambert yesterday received $8000 and are to receive $44,000 , on February 1st as payment for 27,000 shares. The original owners made presents of \" 400 shares and 100 shares to parties in Nelson .who today received $1000 and $250~res��- peetively for their holding's. Rene Laudi, the purchaser, has made heavy investment!, up at the new camp, and development work is being pushed; good results are being obtained on the workings. By next May the veins will have beeu tapped at depth by the present crosscut tunnels now being driven for tlie purpose. Tlie acquiring of thin large block of shares will practically give Rene* Laudi and liis friends control of the Excelsior company. Mr, Mansfield is also a large shareholder. He loaves Nelson about January 15th for ~Se\\v Zealand to acquire four miles of dredging ground for his London and French friends. He expects to return here the latter end of March, or the beginning of April, when he will probably go to London for a few weeks, returning again in June, with some of his associates. Mr. Boie, the foreman on the mine, will handle the payroll and superintend the work during Mr. Mansfield's absence.

THE COUNCIL DEFERS ACTION On All Important Questions. The last meeting of the city council for this year, although not the last meeting of the council of 1809, took place at the city hall yesterday afternoon. Mayor Neelands, aldermen Beer, Kirkpatiick, McKillop and Fletcher were in attendance. The communication from the department of lands and works regarding the city's trpplication for the foreshore lands on the lake front was read. The minister said : \"I beg to state that the government has not yet decided as to the disposal of the foreshore lands and is consequently not in a position at present to favorably entertain your application. I may also point out that the C.P.R. right of way covers all the land to high water mark with the exception of small fractions fronting on blocks 74A, 75A and TOA.\" The city clerk was instructed to acknowledge the receipt of the letter, and to request that the government will bear the city's request in mind when disposing of foreshore lands. L. Pogue of Ward street, wrote desiring permission to shingle a cabin in the rear of his premises. The request was referred to the fire wardens. Thomas Madden drew attention to the council's refusal to build a sidewalk ou Ward street, from the south end of the Madden block to the postoffice, and offered to do all the work if the city furnished the material. This was referred to the city engineer. The judgment in the Traves case was brought up, and the city solicitor was asked to give an opinion. In reply Mr. Galliher remarked that he had no reasdn to change his opinion as to the legality of the bylaw. When at the Coast he had - gone closely into the matter with E. P. Davis, Q.C., one of the best men in the country, who agreed with him on this point. Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper, senior counsel in the case, had tilso expressed himself strongly in favor of an appeal iu event of an adverse decision against the ��� city. There was one small point in evid- ., ence, touching the time of signing the original bylaw, which might be submitted to Mr. Davis for his advice. Further Mr. Galliher thought it' was not in accord with good policy for a corporation to accept the decision of any one judge in any important matter such as the validity of its .bylaws. Alderman \"Fletcher thought the city - should appeal if there was a chance of ' success, and moved that the city solicitor be authorized to take \"the necessary action in the matter of entering an appeal. This was carried. The city clerk of Rossland advised clerk Strachan that no tax was imposed on insurance companies operating in Rossland. Alderman Fletcher remarked' that after consulting various business men, he thought the council had better leave the whole business alone, as the _ citizens were in the hands of the companies r \"* Alderman Beer thought a wider principle was involved���that of determining who should dictate the city's financial policy. If it was agreed that the companies should contribute -to the -city's taxes, he thought the council should impose ti reasonable figure and stick to it. The citizens could retaliate by cancelling their policies if a premium tax was collected, and in the end an arrangement would be reached. .Mayor Neelands advised the council to settle the matter one way or the other, as the meeting was the Inst of tlio year. -The aldermen���mat .ifested-no- disposition��� to move at once, and ou obtaining the solicitor's opinion that tho corporation's interests would not be prejudiced by delay, concluded to defet consideration. J)r. LaBau requested permission to have the Nelson Tramway Company's power placed in his* surgery for medical purposes. The opinion was expressed that certain business firms required an fill-day service, such as tho city could not supply and that the matter should be dealt with in a general way: also that the,council should control and lease tho power desired in this way. The P. Burns company desire ail-day power nnd wish to do bu-ineas with the city, so that aldermen Fletcher, Beer and Kirkpatrick were appointed a committee to interview engineer Campbell, of the West Kootenay Power Company, with ti view to ascertaining what arrangement could bo arrived at. The aldermen exchanged opinions as to the failure of the city to receive a bid for the (l1 per cent debentures, and it was agreed that the reason lay in the fact of recent disturbances in the money market. The matter of securing a purchaser of the issue was left to the mayor. City engineer McCulloch reported that the cost of the sidewalk along the Madden block would be $100, and he was authorized to proceed with the work. Mr. Muddcn's share will be some $00. Attention was drawn to the fact that tlie contractors on the new Bank of Montreal were responsible i'or the disappearance of the city's sidewalk on Kootenay street, and the clerk was instructed to notify the contractors to replace the walk, The council adjourned to January 5th, wliich will probably be the last of the council of 189J).

Churchill seems to possess the faculty his father had in such a marked degree before his lamentable mental collapse, of occupying the center of the stage wherever he happens to be, by the sheer force of his individuality.

General Kitchener, when he wanted to build a steel bridge over the Atbara river in a hurry, Avas obliged to buy the material in the United States. The British government finds today, that if it Avants to supply a proper number of wagons for \"transport- service-in-\"South Africa, it must send across the Atlantic to secure them. It is all very well to say that the Britisli manufacturer is so busy Avith his ordinary trade that he cannot meet emergency orders. But his failure to do so is ti fact inconsistent Avith the manufacturing supremacy claimed by him. He seems to have at his* command neither the tools, machinery nor ingenuity possessed by his American competitor. J)ri.i.v.: the past year -1500 cars of freight have been carried over the Crow's Nest railway and shipped to or through Xelson. The total includes railway material for the Columbia & Western, coal and coke for tho smelters, as Avell as general merchandise. But every pound shipped over the raihvay has been consumed in the niining districts of West Kootenay and Yale. We are exchanging our gold, silver, lead and -copper for the manufactures of.' the East and the agricultural products of the farming districts of Canada, which is as it should be. Both arc enriched. Thk sealing question, like tho poor, Ave haA*e always AA'ith us. The sooner seals, whales, elephants and such like are all killed out like the buffalo, the better. Nothing is secured from these animals that cannot be provided by a manufactured substitute equally as good for all practical purposes. If people must have seal fur let them .'farm seals, as cattle and hogs and chickens are farmed. J. F. WEIR The practised public speaker thinks in rhetorical paragraphs. The amount of mental effort required to reduce his opinions to a form suitable for expression on a public platform is very small. But the amount of nervous energy expended in holding the attention of an audience for an hour or two hours is very great. Every listener is a separate strain on the nerve force of the speaker. This makes the present campaign of the Gonserva- tive leader a feat Avithout parallel. The last Midlothian campaign of Mr. Gladstone aa'jis considered a great effort for an old man, but sir Charles Tupper beats it holloAV. It is generally understood that both the Mine Owners' Association and the Slot Machine Gambling Trust haA'e signified a willingness to spend thousands of dollars to defeat John Houston for mayor. The first-named hate him because he has advocated giving the eight- hour laAV a fair trial, and the last named cordially dislike him because of the stand he has taken against slot-machine gambling. . One question that should be considered by the electors is : Which of the candidates for mayor is the most likely to standout for the city's interests first, last and all the time? Candidate Houston has no connection with any corporation Avhose interests are likely to clash Avith those of the city. Can as much be said for candidate Fletcher ? HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.

Many of tlie nurses who went to South Africa witli the Canadian troops are members of well-kimwu, families in the Dominion.

Another of the Canadian nurses is the daughter of judge Forbes of Halifax. _____ ' Lord Armstrong, tiie famous gunmaker, has just entered his ninetieth year. It is now just forty years since he was knighted for his discovery of the Armstrong bveeeh-loading gun. But as the inventor of tlio modern system of hydraulics he deserves even greater fame than his gun has given him. His old age has been devoted tothe publication of abstruse scientific works and to the restoration of Bamburgh castle���where he now lives���to something of its former glories.

Iu those days thei e was one telegraph operator in the capitol building, and for a long time Mr. Young alone was able to handle all the business.

Petersburg university, is a notable linguist aud author, and at the Venezuela arbitration conference in Paris, when he read the decision of the commission, he had a pleasant fashion of addressing each delegate in his own language. One of the English jurists wondered how the professor was able to keep up* his knowledge of so many modern tongues. The professor replied : \"It is self-defense. You see, in case I lose my' chair .[.wish, to be prepared for any offer you foreigners may make.\" The Loudon Outlook reports a serious trouble among a set of work-house officials. The infirmary nurses, three in number, had demanded a separate sitting-room and Sunday dinner therein, and the matron liad sought to humble them by sending the cook to Sunday dinner in their company.

To Till. El.I.CTORS of Nklsox : In asking for your support for the oflice of mayor at the coining election, it is only fair tliat 1 should state my views, briefly, on what are considered public questions or issues. Xo doubt, during the campaign you will havo an opportunity to hear tliese questions and issues discussed, for they are important to the people of tliis municipality. ��� 1. The public utilities owned bythe city should be maintained at a high state of efficiency, and the revenue therefrom collected closely and promptly. The rates should be so adjusted that a fair profit over and above fixed charges can be realized, for the city can no more sell water and light at cost than can the merchant the commodities in which he' deals. ���* i. ' 2. Direct taxation can only be kept low by limiting the issue of debentures. JSTo debentures should be issued except for the construction of revenue-producing public works. 3. A beginning should be made this year at making permanent street improvements. The main business streets should be macadamized and the main residence streets graded. Sidewalks should be laid with some uniformity, and not according to the different ideas of different oflicials. ���1. The steamboat interests centered at Nelson are second only in importance to the railway interests, and the city should provide modern dock and warehouse facilities at which this business can be handled. The docks and warehouses should be built on plans approved by practical steamboat -men, as the future growth and prosperity of the city depend,- in a great measure, on the cost of transhipment of merchandise. 5. I am opposed to saloon expansion. There are 'already a sullicient number of places in Nelson at which liquor can be obtained at retail, and the number should not be increased until the city has a population of ten thousand. 0. Public gambling is looked upon as an evil in civilized countries, and whilst gambling cannot be prevented, there is no good reason why the sound of gambling machinery should equal that from the team traffic on our main business thoroughfares. 7. None but general bylaws should be\" -passed, and when passed .they should be enforced. . ��� ' S. Corporations that have secured < franchises from the city should be made to live up tothe letter and tho \"spirit of their agreements; but in adjusting differences that may arise there should not be tiny unnecessary friction. 9. Tiie fire department should be efficiently maintained. 'The best apparatus should be procured, and the number of men in the volunteer brigade kept at the maximum, for without men, mere apparatus would be useless in times of danger. Jons* Houston*.

To the Citizens of Nelson : In response to numerous requests from business men, property owners and ratepayers, I offer myself as a candidate for Mayor of the City of Nelson at the approaching Municipal Elections. Briefly stated, my platform is as follows . If elected it will be my earnest endeavor to assist in more firmly establishing Nelson as the wholesale distributing centre of the ICootenay country���the position for whieh she has been so admirably designed by nature. In furtherance of this idea, 1 will continue my consistent advocacy of the construction of a wharf which will meet present and future requirements of the wholesale and other business interests. I believe that the city has reached that stage when permanent street improvements have become an absolute necessity and that tiie cost should be met, as far as feasible, from current revenue and should the citizens see fit to entrust me with the office of mayor, it will be my aim to carry out a well-devised system of street improvements. It will be my policy to oppose.the borrowing of money unless the same be used for the increase or establishment of public works producing a revenue to the taxpayers. I am opposed to any increase in the salary of mayor, which would necessarily involve a reduction in salaries now paid an efficient staff of officials, or an increased burden to the taxpayers. I am strongly in favor of maintaining the lire department in a position of thorough efficiency and would advise the adoption of modern equipments, including a fire alarm system and the purchase of a chemical engine, Avhich would effect a reduction iu all fire insurance. It will be my consistent policy to safeguard the taxpayers against any attempts on tlie part of corporate bodies, carrying on business in Nelson, to encroach upon the rights of the citizens. Iu my opinion a sufficient amount of money should be expended upon the parks of the city spy that they will provide the citizens with recreation grounds and opportunities for healthful enjoyment. ���<*.��� On all municipal works my policy will be to employ bona fide residents of Nelson tind to maintain the public standard rate of wages. 1 believe that the public schools in Nelson should be under the control of the ciby, ��� and that every effort .should be made to establish aj high school in our midst. * Jn concluding I wish to say that in the 'event of. my election I will consider it my duty to share with���the - council the responsibility of the civic administration, believing, as 1 do, that the assumption of entire authority by one individual is subversive of all constitutional government, whether municipal or otherwise..
