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.

"It Must Not Be Opened Again." Pathetic Scenes of the Occasion. Cowes, January 25.���A private service over the remains of queen Victoria was held this morning. The coffin was placed on a crimson dais in the centre of the dining room and rested upon a silk Union Jack. A white satin pall was over the coffin with the royal crown and insignia of the Order of the Garter embroidered upon-\ it. Sentinels with arms reversed stood at the corners. Cowes, l9le of Wight, January 20, 12:45 a. ra.���With a pathos and solemnity such as Seldom mark the passing away from daylight into the darkness of a coffins the royal family yesterday took'' their last loving look at the features of the dead queen: ' About ten o'clock' in the morning the shell was brought into -the bedroom," where' were ^waiting king Edward, emperor William, tlie. duke of Connaught, sir James Reid, and the royal ladies. The,latter having retired, sir "James Reidjjyith reverent^ hands assisted by three trusted household servants, in the presence of the king, the emperor and the duke removed tbe, body from'the bed to the coffin. In death it'was lovelier .than in'Ythe' closing days of life. 'Not a trace pf ravages of disease was visible. 1.. The 'servants -* having ~ retired; queen Alexandria.the princess and the children were recalled, .and with lingering steps and stifled .. sobs they passed- slowly ,before 'the white-robed and peaceful, figure. At the foot, never moving,, stood the king, and when the mourning crowd had passed there remained only the son and grandson of the queen. Emperor,' William- wept even more bitterly than the royal ladies. Fiually he also retired, and the king .was left-alone.' Sir James Reid, beckoning to the -servants with the coffin lid, asked the king's instructions. For a few seconds the king stood speechless" stricken with emotion at the last farewell. Then he said quickly: "Close it finally; it must not be opened again." Thus the remains of England's greatest ruler were forever closed from human view. Reverently the coffin was borne into tho dining ���room.^-Officers and~inen-^from_the royal yachts took their stand around- the coffin over which the king, queen and kaiser gently laid the robes of the Knights of the Garter, placing at the head a diamond crown. Beneath lay th"e royal ensign, while hanging about was the Union Jack. At the altar was'the rector of Whippingham who read a portion of the funeral service in the presence of the royal family. After the benediction each placed a wreath upon the coffin and all retired. A correspondent of the Associated Press is informed that the queen's will has not been opened; and according to present arrangements it will not be opened until after the funeral. Its details are unknown to the royal family. There is no truth in the statement that king - Edward and emperor William knelt by the bedside of the queen and Bwore to preserve peace. A significant feature of all the deathbed scenes has been the absolute naturalness and the absence of false elements. According to a rumor circulating at Osborne, King Edward desires himself to be styled his imperial majesty in order to emphasize the fact that he is emperor as well as king. Today (Saturday) the local volunteers and the forces in. the vicinity will pass through the chapel ardente, and after these will pass tlie correspondents of the' leading papers of' the,.world. A very remarkable feature of all the proceeding, is the intense martial- air which* pervades them. The naval parade off Spithead is to be the greatest, if possible, the world ever saw, and the military arrangements at Windsor will eclipse anything of the kind ever attempted. Tonight Grenadiers are mounting their silent guard over the coffin with guns reversed, arms crossed and heads bowed. The silence is unbroken save by an occasional shuffle from the soldiers in changing their uneasy positions. THE KING TO PARLIAMENT Strathcona to the King. Ottawa, January 25.���Sir Wilfrid Laurier has received by cable copies of a telegram sent by lord Strathcona to king Edward VII. and his reply thereto. Strathcona to his majesty: "As the representative of the Dominion of Canada in England it is my mournful duty to give expressions to the overwhelming grief of .Canadians on the death of their beloved queen and to their heartfelt sympathy with yourself and members of the royal family.

Glowing Tributes to the Dead Baler From Marquis of Salisbury and Mr. Balfour. London, January 25.���Bothhouses of parliament this afternoon received identical messages from the king and voted condolence with his majesty on his -bereavement and congratulations on his accession to the throne. The lord chancellor, lord - Salisbury, and the speaker, William Cort Gully, read the message in tkie respective houses. .It ���was as follows :"> '^Edward Rex, the king, is fully assured that the house of commons will share the-deep sorrow * which 7 has befallen his majesty and the nation by the lamentable death of his mother, the late j queen. Her devotion to the welfare of her country and - her people and her, wise-.and beneficent rule during the'sixty,' years ofvher glorious reign will ever be held in affectionate memory by her .loyal and "devoted subjects _ throughout the dominion of the BritislTempire.'- In the house of commons A. J. Balfour, first lord of the treasury and government leader, in, -moving the address in reply to the message, said the house in alU its long ^history-had never met'iundei\ sad-^ der circumstances or with a'clearei* duty to express the universal sorrow of the world,, to Edward VII. The sorrow~.was felt 'not Y'only ��ts a nation, but 'as^ an" irreparable per-- sonal loss. 'Never before had, thei national-, grief",- been . so deeply seated.

Short as had been the interval between her final signature of a public document and her final rest it had been enough to clog- the wheels of the administration, as witnessed by the vast mass of untouched documents awaitingthe hand of the sovereign. In moving, a double response of condolence, and congratulation, Mr. Balfour said .they, all liad.unfailing confidence that the "great interests committed "* to ' the' new sovereign were safe in his keeping, and they assured -him the-ungrudging support of his loyal subjects. knew what the queen thought he knew for a certainty what her subjects would think, especially the middle classes. The king came to the throne with the one great advantage of having before him the greatest example possible. He had beeu familiar for a generation with political and social life. He enjoyed enormous popularity and was almost as much beloved in foreign countries and courts. .. Congratulations could' be tendered him with earnest sincerity- and in the belief that he will adorn the throne and be no unworthy successor of the queen..

Iu the house of lords lord Salisbury moved the reply to the king's message in a speech full of emotion, He said that in performing the saddest duty that had ever befallen him he was only echoing the sorrow, deeper than he had ever seen of the nation, which had been called forth by the singular loss, under the dispensation of providence tliey had suffered and their admiration of the glorious reign and splendid character of the sovereign .they had' lost.* Being a constitutional monarch with restricted powers she had reigned by sheer force of character, by the lovableness of her disposition' and by her hold on the hearts of her subjects. The example which she set of governing by esteem and love would never be forgotten, nor how much- she assisted in the elevation of her people by their simple contem-' plation of her brilliant qualities as wife, mother and woman. Her wonderful powers of observing with absolute strictness the limits of her powers as a ' constitutional sov-' ereign, at the same time. maintaining steady and persistent influence on the actions of her ministers inspired -the -greatest admiration. She always maintained a rigorous supervision over public affairs, giving her ministers the benefit of her advice and warning them of her dangers. No minister could disregard her views, "or press her to disregard them 'without,' feeling he had incurred ia great danger.

If organized labor "should fail to appreciate the " danger involved in the proposed " schemes of so-called compulsory '"arbitration, and consent to the " enactment of a law for its enforce- " ment, there would he reintroduced "the denial ,of .the, light of jthe "workmen to, strike, in .defense of; " their interests, and the enforce- " ment by government of ��� specific " or personal,service^ raud Jabpr, no " matter how, uitfa^, or, unjust,#nd, " brought about by any.. means no " matter' - how questionable; we ** would be compelled to work or - " suffer the state penalty, which " might, be either mulcting in " damages,or going to jail;4.not one "scintilla of.distinction, not one "jot removed from slavery." President Gompers uses rather strong language, and his finding can hardly be regarded as complimentary to the .heads of the,Canadian congress, but it does not follow that he is right and they are wrong. He argues from the premises that the wagew earners are the only persons interested in labor disputes, and that all such disputes must be settled by their own courts, with a threatened strike held out as an inducement for a speedy, and satisfactory settlement. But there are other "interests- wrapped up in industrial disputes which the members of the Canadian Traces and Labor Congress no doubt recognize. Every man engaged in business in the. community has a direct and personal interest in the settlement of industrial disputes which threaten to interfere with the business .of the community. It is the .recognition of this principle which makes the demand for compulsory arbitration so strong, since it secures for all interests .a, voice, through the arbitrators, in the settlement of the dispute. To enforce any demands which they may ;rnak;e .upon .employers wage- earners must have the support of public sentiment. They may strike without it,'and .entail great loss to their employers, themselves, and the business interests of their community ; but it is to prevent just such .occurrences that the system of compulsory reference to arbitration is resorted to. When opposing forces get at loggerheads as to whether a man shall receive $2.25 per day a,nd be charged ,75 cents per day for board, or whether, he, shall be paid $2.50 per day and be charged $1.00 per day for '���board, there is not much hope of any .arbitration short of compulsory arbitration. There is no ground for the assumption that arbitration courts will be unfair, and this being so, Canadian unionists need- have no fear that the,Trades and Labor Congress of Canada are In the South Seas. Victoria, January 25.���Great devastation was caused and a.number of natives drowned by the hurricane at New Hebrides on the 7 th, 8th and 9th of December. According to news brought by the Aroangi, now at her berth at - Herbertshore, a white settlement, tremendous seas carried lighters, boats, ketches and wreckage of all descriptions ashore. Innumerable craft were wrecked. The steamer Stettin, steamer Yacht Elberhard and the government steamer Stephen were saved by running into. Matpui for shelter. The mission steamer Kingfisher was totally wrecked and the government wharf was washed away. On the 8th the stone breakwater surrounding the New- Guinea wharfs gave way and vessels inside were all-wrecked, the loss amounting to 100,000 marks. A number of natives were drowned and many injured. Ashore trees were felled and miles of .plantations damaged. A fire occurred at, .Gretna mines, New South Wales, in which five lives were .lost. Rescue parties worked all night, but were driven back after every effort. Finallythe mine, was ordered .sealed down in an effort to,fight the fire and the men abandoned to their fate. The miners. burnt to death were John and Fred Crow.le, George Fuller,- Edwin Buck and James Hy slop. On arrival at .Sydney, from Victoria, v the. bark Defiance reported passing a .derelict vessel of 200 to .300 tons, *with a -hundred feet of keel outward, evidently wrecked' a month or two, in 3-1 south, 166 east. New Caledonia advices tell of a craft .coming ,ashore at -Nakety. .bay, which evidently -was from the' .'wrecked vessel. , The lower half; mast was cut through, and planks < and spars were pinei yellow painted. A black painted cutter, which was stolen by .escapes from _ New Cale-> donia. and .abandoned, after * their, escape to the Australian coast, has been found.on Seaforth islaud, near ,Boweu, pn. the, west -.coast of Australia. The news was given by a note found in the,cabin of the abandoned cutter. *******************************t:***9.

O SATttttDAY JANUARY 26 1901 _a____���B0u ----���'������ i.-rrr-.r-'t' Special Filipino Coin. Washington, January 25.-j-Secre- tary Gage has- devised a currency scheme .for the Philippine islands which has received the approval of the cabinet and will be recommended to congress, with a request from,the president for the legislation necessary to carry it into effect. 'Trade jiiBt now is much embarrassed because of the scarcity of- Mexican silver dollars, which for many years have been the standard of value and circulating;medium in all the East Indies! The scarcity is due to' the presence of -75,000 or 80,000 foreign soldiers in China, who have to. b,e "p^id regularly in the n-jO-jey of vthp}r;qwn countries and ure polnpplled" to change it for Mexican qollars before it is of any use to them. The Mexican government,, realizing that the unusual demand for dollars, will soon em- barrass business in that country, has taken means to prevent further exportation, and the consequence'is ��� a rise in their value and tt great scarcity everywhere. It is thought best to provide a special coin for tho Phillipines of silver, because they have >,always been accustomed.to use that metal, exclusively, and the disadvantages and difficulties that would attend an attempt to introduce our own ���system of currency, over there are so great that the plan has been* abandoned. It is proposed, therefore, by Mr. Gage to ask congress BANK OF MONTREAL OAPITAIi. all paid up....$12,000,000.00 REST 7.000.000.00 UNDIVIDED PROFITS 427,180,80 Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal ...President Hon.

Each of these dollars, or whatever the coin may be called,'' will contain 45 cents worth of silver bullion, and they will' be furnished ' in unlimited quantitiesito those,who are willing' to pay, 50 cents in - gold for them. They will1- also be redeemable in gold at the, option of the holder. The margin of five cents is to givs an elasticity to-the .coin, which will naturally , advance, the ' price qf silver if it;is issued in ,any great quantities. These coins will-be disbursed by the government in the payment of its regular expenses at the different army \ posts in the Philippines a.t their facejvalue,' which is.150 centis in United States coin, and it is believed that they will soon displace the Mexican dollars, which contain a little more silver,-and are there-' fore of greater intrinsic Rvalue': At the���present-price-of���bullion���the Mexican dollar is actually worth about 52 cents, and the proposed dollar will be worth only 45 cents. The proposed coinage would absorb $2,000,000 to $3,000,000 worth of silver a month indefinitely, and it is believed, that it would;eventually take the place of Mexican dollars in China and the East Indies, although the Orientals are very conservative and would hesitate to adopt a new form of money. The Rich Are Negligent. Abram S. Hewitt, formerly mayor of New York, recently, expressed the following sentiments, which-will receive hearty endorsement at the hands of .those who are interested in, the welfare of their fellow beings: The advance of industry whioh h$a brought lis wealth beyond the wildest dreams of avarice has also brought on conditions ��� which make it an absolute ��� impossibility for some people to live decent, respectable lives. * The rich' have not even1 begun to do what they ought to do.: Men that I almost worship fpr. their generosity and solicitude for^ those that have less are not giving; in proportion to their wealth- the- half that was given by their families a generation ago. Have we the right to take all this wealth and do nothing to correct the $y\\. created in its promotion?- Oa,n you qccept these. jnftHona and shut yoi'-jr eygg to. *feho evils which .weave iharanelves about the producers? Can any one be content with such conditions ? Good' God ! Can .this be the end to'which we have been working all these centuries? For purchased at such ��� a" staggering price ? If these terrible tenements, these overcrowded districts, these dark and.foul dwelling places', and all the attending miseries "must go with industry, then I wish to -God that every industrial center > could be' destroyed as was Sodom and Gomorrah of old, and men be driven back to the land where they can at least have the breezes and the green grass and the sunshine and the blue of heaven to look up to. Scotland a Century Ago. In Life in Scotland a Hundred Years Ago James Murray, M.A., the author, modestly gathered together much quaint and curious [ information. Turning over the pages casually one' is struck with the frequent references, under the section Domestic and Social, by the ministers of the various parishes to the increase in the use of tea among the poorer classes. To it and to whisky are attributed all' the evils of the time. "The introduction of these baneful articles to the poor, 'tea and whisky, will soon," wrote the minister, of Currie, "produce corruption of morals and debility of .constitution." Tobacco was also in much more common use at the end of the last century than it had been 20 years before', and smoking was quite common among women. '���The use of tobacco may almost," said the minister of Abernyte, "be said to be excessive, especially among the female sex. There is scarce a 'young woman by the time she has been taught to spin but has also learned to smoke." One simple-minded gentleman, the minister of Peterculter, was struck with the amount of money which was sent out of the country for this "very pernicious ' luxury," and thought camomile flowers would make a good substitute. Does It Pay to Advertise? * A good story is told .of Henry W. Grady's career in Rome, Georgia, as editor, etc., of a ��� newspaper whose struggles for existence were hard indeed. "Dolph" and "Wes" Roun- saville, big merchants, declined to advertise,' notwithstanding Grady's entreaties. "We don't need to advertise," said "Wes," senior partner. "It^won't do any good. Nobody reads advertisements anyway." "Don't read 'em?" cried Grady. "I'll show you." The next day's paper followed one of the editor's brilliant articles with this notice: .'.'Wanted ��� Immediately, 2000 cats, for which we will pay 50 cents each. J. W. Rounsaville & Bio." It rained, snowed, and hailed eats. Every boy in town stole cats to sell. Farmers hauled them' in .from the country. The railroads brought them by freight and express. They arrived in sacks, bags, boxes, kegs and barrels. "Wes" and "Dolph," who had not read the advertisement, c were nearly paralyzed with fear. It was the town's "business"to~stand~abont~the���corner of the store and enjoy the fun. Grady himself leaned against a telegraph pole, splitting with laughter, and crying with every fresh breath: "Nobody reads -advertisements, eh? Nobody reads 'em?" The Rounsa- villes were glad to compromise on a contract for advertising. -- ������ ��� ���-> jgy*-- t j-_j j^3��i y y-^j c��^**%^^��<^ <^i^***% <^<-r***% <^ C=3" (Z3 * e^' d ' <Z3�� C3 �� <_=->- c^>' (Z? .gy.gi.cz?*- 5^> *2vS^i ^'���Q1* ^���^S^SsT*^ ijsr'^'^s? ^j^ ^s*=^' the Battle ���M& of the Holiday Trade has cleared away it is well to come back to the every day business of the year as quickly as jpossible. , ************************** ...

SUPREME COURT MATTERS Cases to Be Tried at Next Sitting. Another important law case and one which is connected with commerce was listed at the court house -yesterday to be tried at the sitting of the supreme court in Nelson ou February Oth. It is that of Brack- man & Ker vs. Oppenheimer. It was" practically fought out in March, 1900, on a counter claim brought by Brackman & Ker against -. Oppenheimer, claiming about $3000 damages by reason of Oppenheimer, who resides in the state of Washington, not delivering 37 cars of hay, in accordance with his contract as stipulated. Mr. Justice Martin gave judgment for the defendant Oppenheimer on the ground that Brackman & Ker's acceptance of Oppenheimer's offer with regard to the 37 cars, contained conditions not included in the offer. Hence the contracting parties never agreed and consequently-' no contract was made. , ," The_ plaintiff' appealed to the supreme court of. British Columbia from that judgment and reversed the judgment of Mr. Justice Martin, the appeal court holding that the' conditions contained in the accept-' ance, which was in .the form of a letter and which was couched in the language of a contract, had no effect on such au acceptance and was simply a .collateral matter which," 'Oppenheimer could have regarded or disregarded. The case was dismissed and was sent back' for' a new trial, with the point settled.that there is a valid contract existing. " The trial will how pro- ceed,'and unless Oppenheimer can succeed in showing that the contract was waived as alleged in his pleadings the court will proceed to assess the damages against him. The case involves a great niany points of commercial law , of great interest to wholesale men, and .will be watched by wholesale dealers generally. .;,- - ' " ���. 7 . - Messrs. Taylor & Hannington are. the solicitors for-Brackman '& Ker; while Messrs. Eiiott & Lennie are acting for Oppenheimer. Court House Notes. ^ y The case of Waterland vs. Green woodrwhich-washeard^before-the; supreme court in Nelson last fall ��� and in which . Waterland was granted $3000 damages,'has'.been appealed by the defendants. ;It is probable that the case will come before tho sitting of the supreme full court which is to be held at Vancouver on March 5th. W. A. Macdonald,.K.C., is acting for the plaintiff. The case of Marino vs. Sproat, which has been heard in chambers before judge Forin, is also net for I trial at the sitting of the court here on February Oth. Eight cases have now been listed for trial on February Oth. Funeral of Thomas Thatcher. Thomas Thatcher of Kaslo died at that place on Thursday night. His remains will be brought to Nelson today for interment, and the funeral will rtake "place from. Fraternity hall at 10 o'clock Sunday morning.
