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.

Forest Fires Continue Destructive at Several Points���Provincial News Notes of Interest! GREENWOOD, Aug. 21.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The R. Bell mine In Summit camp, closed down yesterday, after having been worked for more than a year. Reason of suspension of work has not been made public. Its operations were not on a large scale, but during the last two or three "months, about five hundred tons of ore of excellent grade were sent to the Granby smelter li at Grand Forks. John Hanly, who lias been in charge and is one of the owners, will leave the district shortly on a trip to Salt Lake City, where others interested in the property reside. �� A thunder storm accompanied by a ���welcome rain was experienced throughout the Kettle river valley last night. Light rain fell away from the valley, hut fields and garden crops along the valley were much refreshed; by the soaking shower. ��� Forest lires in this neighborhood seem to-have pretty well burnt themselves out. Buildings at the B. C. mine had a narrow escape, outbuildings or the boarding house having been destroyed and with them two largo sows which were too heavy to move when the fire got hold of the sheds. Much timber suitable for mine purposes has been burned. Lequime & Poor, owners of the'Midway sawmill, have agreed -to supply to the Toronto- company which lately started to construct the railway between Republic and Grand Forks sawed lumber required for bridges, culverts and somo ties. The same mill owners have arranged with tho .assignee in Ernest Spraggett's estate to take over tliat sawmill man's umbo.'* ���limits. Both ol' these transactions have been aranged and only await execution of necessary documents to ��� complete them. The Yale Columbia Lumber Company yesterday completed distribution of the poles along the Keltlo River power company's right of way oh tho section between Coryell's ranch near Grand Forks and Phoenix. Erection ol Lransniission lines will not, however, be commenced just yet. Meanwhile poles will be spread along the remainder of the route extending from Coryell's to Cascade City. Yjnir Gossip. YMIR, Aug. 21.���[Special to The Tribune.]���William' Claffe, one of the owners of the Melrose, adjoining Lhe Mastodon claim which was sold about two months ago to an eastern syndicate, was in Ymir yesterday. The Melrose is situated about eight and one- half miles southeast of Salmo, and is under bond to the same syndicate. William Stewart, shift boss at the Ymir, has moved his wife and family here from Nelson. They went up the hill yesterday. James Buchanan's (boss carpenter at the mill) wife and family arived here yesterday and will live in the burg. ^ And VjiI^avender_has_rettirned,_to cami),= after taking in the sights of several eastern cities, and being taken in at the Buffalo fall show. - ' -Engineer Bolander at the Ymir miue jumped his job and left Tuesday l'or the "Web-foot" state to reside permanently on his prune farm. *��� Ed Cole was in from the Spotted Horse, near the Porto Rico group, Sunday and returned Monday with 100 sacks." A trial shipment of ore is to be sent from the property to the smelter, and if good results are received regular shipments will be made. Tho mill at the Second Relief, Eric, will commence operations some time next week. A crew of miners have beer, put to work underground. Harry Ashcroft passed through Ymir last Sunday, per freight, en route to Nelson, with some 1,000 speckled beauties, so he said.- A man who would rob a stream of as many fish just for sport would strike his mother-in-law because she was cross-eyed and had a wart on her nose. We doubt whether Harry caught-as many fish as the first figure. The Ymirites who took in Sell's circus have returned home, some walking, and all say it was well named���a sell. Chief Lillie of the Nelson lire department was in the camp yesterday looking for a mate for the lonesome flic horse. He inspected Ed Lind's bunch. If you can't get what,you want in Nelson, come to Ymir. There was a, happy go lucky reunion of four old-timers last Sunday. They were Phil White, superintendent of the Wilcox; Bill Claffe of the Melrose mine, Salmo; Tom Flinn,:an old,time prospector; and Joe Burgoine, Erie's chef. Mr. Burgoine, whose family resides here, invited the hoys up to his residence, where they were dined and wined in French style. The four have been in the camp for the past seven or eight years. The sawmill at the Ymir mine is already to commence cutting lumber, and soon we will'see the frame work of the new cyinade plant building. Rossland Locals ROSSLAND, August 21.���[Special to The Tribune.]���The Spitzee company today received a check from the Trail smelter for $452 for the last car of ore sent down. This represents the net proceeds for about 23 tons, less the cost of mining. Although only down to the hundred-foot level 13 carloads have been shipped this season. The mine is in the heart of the city and is really making a very good showing. Down at Northport two carloads of matte were got ready for shipment to the New Jersey refinery last Monday. This is the first shipment attempted since May 2C. On assaying the matte, however, it was found that the gold values had disappeared and the sipment. has not been sent out as arranged for. The management decline to make any statement in the matter, it is said, but the union men regard the occurrence very hopefully and naturally look upon the incident as one of the many bad results of employing green hands at the Northport smelter. < -Arthur Marsh, whose serious illness has been reported, was not so well this afternoon, but is resting easily tonight. The city engineer has advised the council that there is likely to be. a scarcity of water if the dry season continues and orders have been issued to stop sprinkling for the present and to prevent the waste of city water in every possible way. Superintendent -Radish has only attempted to run two of the smelter furnaces at Northport and No. 2 furnace went ou the retired list for some time to come at 9 a. m. yesterday, the connection with the main stack haying blown out at that time on account of the furnacernan allowing too great an accumulation of gas at that point. Revelstoke Notes. REVELSTOKE, August 21.���[Special to The Tribune.]���Charles King, chairman of the North Bend division of the Trackmen's Union, went through here this morning to Montreal to take the place of McTaggart as representative of the bridge men. He was on the train iu the Hope accident. He states he and two interviewers saw track watchmen asleep in their shack after the wreck occurred. The request for an extension of Lime on the Eva bond is looked upon here as a game of freeze-out. The London & B. C. Goldfields are putting a tramway in the mine. It is stated here that S. S. Taylor of Nelson will be retained to oppose the city deal with the water and light company for their plant. , From Vancouver, VANCOUVER, August 21.���[Special Lo The Tribune.]���A Montreal special dispatch says the last of the conciliation committee on the trackmen's strike have left Montreal and it is likely the strike will drag along some time. E. S. Clouston, general manager of the Bank of Montreal, passed through to Victoria this afternoon. Steamer Coquitlam arrived this morning from Rivers inlet with news that ��� canneries havo closed down with about half "their packs. EASTERN CANADIAN NEWS Wired in Brief. OTTAWA, August 21.���Over 450 entries have been received for the Dominion Royal Athletic matches and more ar�� still coming in. QUEBEC, August 21.���Telegraphic communication is now established with the straits of Belle Isle, the importance of which is demonstrated by the fact that word was received from there this morning that many icebergs were visible, which serves as a warning to ship owners whose vessels use- the straits.

An offer of $100 a side is made for the match here, gate receipts going 75 per cent to winner and 25 per cent to loser. McEarchen says he is willing to meet Champion oither in Montreal or Toronto If satisfactory arrangements can be made. MONTREAL, August 21.���Joseph A. Levcsque, who, in 1891, forged checks to the amount of $15,000 while, an employee of the Montreal City and District Savings bank, appeared before magistrate Lafontaine today, but owing to 'the prosecution having lost their proofs the accused was remanded for eight days. Levesque was discovered a few weeks ago working as a waiter in New York, although the detectives for the past ten years have been waiting for a clue to his 'whereabouts. Accidentally Shot. SAN FRANCISCO, August 21.���While Thomas Galvin and G. M. Duncan, special officers attached to the Curtin detective agency, were examining the former's revolver last evening it fell to the floor and was discharged, the bullet entering Galvin's abdomen and inflicting a wound from which he died in a few hours.

A Silly Rumor That the Steel Corporation Intend to Remove Their Plants to Europe. PITTSBURG, August 21.���The steel strike situation underwent no "change today. There was no extension of the strike and the steel managers did' not ���attempt to start more mills. LaLe in the day the fires were lighted in the De Mulertin plate works at McKeesport hut the machinery was not started and no attempt was made to operate it. It is believed, however, that the move is preliminary to a start with non-union men. The managers of the company have been preparing'for several days to reopen a number of their properties an it is thought they have decide'd to act at once. Tlieir Monneson plant is moving ahead uninterruptedly with full crews and their Crescent works at- Cleveland has about half the machinery in operation. There has been no break in the Carnegie group and the mills that have been started with non-union men since the strike are going ahead with about the- same force of men. The leaders on either side were busy all day, but at nightfall both said there was no announcement to make. On the streets it was a day of exciting rumors, beginning with a circumstantial story of a plot to destroy the Monongahela tin plate works and ending with a tale of the removal of the large plants of the United States Steel Corporation tp_ England. Between the two, 'rumors again settled the strike in several ways. At headquarters a cold denial was given to all the interesting stories. It was another day of peace in all the strike districts although the general probability of trouble still holds .good at places .where feeling runs high. - NEW YORK, August 21.���It was denied at the office of the United States Steel Corporation today that Samuel Gompers was to have a conference with J. Pierpont Morgan' looiring to the ending of the steel strike. An official of the corporation said the situation was unchanged. SAN FRANCTSCO, August 21.���The executive committee _of the labor council last night issued .a statement addressed to the farmers' of California, presenting the labor troubles in this city and defending the cause of- the locked out men and strikers. The address places the blame for the transportation troubles, preventing the farmers from moving their products, on the employers' association, which has forced the issue by denying recognition to the unions and has refused to treat for speedy settlement of the troubles. Another attempt at conciliation has failed, the City Front Federation having refused to modify, at the solicitation Of the committee of 100 of the Federation of Improved Clubs, its last draft of terms of peace. A number of nonunion men were sent to Port Costa today to assist in discharging ships. A number of non-union men today applied for and were given work at the Union Iron Works. There were several -f.lashPiB���yesterday���between_uni_on__and_ non-union men, but none were serious. Kitchener Talks on the War. LONDON, August 21.���In a dispatch dated August 8th, and dealing with the condition of affairs at the front at that time, lord Kitchener says: "There are no more than 13,500 Boers now under arms. Although they are not able longer to undertake extensive operations their apparently inexhaustible supplies of food enable them to maintain an obstinate resistance " without retaining anything or defending the smallest portion of this vast country. This wearing down process is necessarily slow, rendering the employment of a large number of troops still necessary. Great patience is still required to see the inevitable end of an insensate resistance which, while it cannot affect the result, has become unjustifiable in prolonging the war and the sufferings of women and children." Since this dispatch was written the losses of the Boers have brought their forces down to about 11,000. Old Plates a*cd Old Notes NEW YORK, August 21.���Government secret service officers last night visited New Brunswick, N. J., and obtained possession of the plates and nearly $100,000 face value notes of the old Bank of New Brunswick. The notes were not reprinted from the old plates. They were genuine printed 30 years or more ago by the bank itself, but were never signed by the president and cashier. Lax methods in winding up the affairs of the bank 26 years ago seeem to have been responsible for tan alleged big swindle in other states with the bank notes as a basis. The bank went into liquidation some years ago. Colonel John A. Newell was at that time appointed receiver and wound up the-af- fairs of the institution. He has since died. In the course of his operations he sold the old note plate to Adam Lud- wig, a junk dealer of New Brunswick. The sale was as old metal. The junk dealer also bought the waste paper and all the junk out of the bank. In the waste paper he found about a half million dollars' worth of notes. These were in the original sheets and uncut and un signed. These notes he sold or gave to Jacob Weigel, who is a collector of coins and old notes. He kept them some years and then began to dispose of them to coin dealers. ��� Among others he sol some to Greenberg & Smith of San Francisco. This firm, Mr. Weigel" says, af- terwaj/s sent him large orders for the notes, and in all purchased some $185,- 000 worth, counting their face' value. The plates remained in the possession of the junk dealer. Last night secret service agents saw Mr. Weigel. .They were satisfied with his explanation and he gave them what he had remaining of the notes except those he kept for his collection. He was not arrested. Lud- wig, the junk man, turned over the plates. They had never been used since the bank last run off a lot of the bills. Slaps Mrs Nation's Face. WATERTOWN, N." Y., August 1.���Mrs. Carrie Nation added to her experience recently, when her face was slapped by a man who resented her grabbing for a cigar he was smoking. She5.was.taking' a trip on one of the St. Lawrence river boats and. was" giving the passengers a tirade against the use ofLtobacco. She was taking cigars and cigarettes from the pssengers and made*an attempt to snatch a_cigar fr.om the mouth bf Eugene Foley, a traveling man from Utica. Foley slapped her in the face and she Immediately terminated her crusade against tobacco. Foley afterwards apologized for striking her.; Mrs. Nation spoke at Glen-'parkin thef afternoon and evening before two small" audiences. She did not speak over five minutes in the! afternoon and was gree'ted by hisses ��� when she "finished. The I lectures were given, under the- local -management of "Dell" Slocum, proprietor of one of the most notorious saloons in- the city. POPULATION BY RIDINGS THAT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA IS OMITTED.

OTTAWA, August 21.���The following table shows the population of the different provinces of Canada by Dominion; electoral, constituencies. The figures show that the rural district's bf Ontario and the Maritime provinces are decreasing and the city districts increasing in population. British Columbia and the Northwest Territories are not given: A General Invitation. WASHINGTON,-- August 21.���The state department has issued a procla-' mation signed by president McKinley inviting the nations of the world to "participate in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to be held at St. Louis in 1903. The proclamation says: "I do hereby "invite all the nations of the earth to'take^part in the commemoration of the purchase of Louisiana territory, an event of great interest to the United, States and of abiding effect on 'its development, by appointing represent^-, tives and sending exhibits to the"Lou- isitina Purchase Exposition as will most fitly and fully illustrate their resources, the industries and the progress in civilization." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME. * * * NEW YORK, August 20.���It -has all along been * evident that the Hill-Morgan scheme to secure harmony, of operation in the Northwest would be a failure unless 'the Canadian Pacific were taken care of in some way. The syndicate has evidently decided on some plan for taking care of the Canadian Pacific and it has fortified itself by buying enough Canadian Pacific stock or by having enough of the stock in the hands of friendly interests to secure influence on Canadian Pacific policy. This accounts for the recent movement in the stock. Wall street has taken considerable stock and a good, deal has been absorbed in the'West and also abroad by those oh the inside or familiar with.the situation. It is expected that Canadian Pacific will hereafter pay some attention to. the desires and best ��� interests of its- American ,cnmpetitnrs. ���- * ���I* *I* ���?* *l* �����* �������� *J* *5* "I* *I* ���!��� *J* *%* *t* "J* ���!* *I* *!"

The liner may be delayed on acount of the fog, but if slie is on time it is probable that Lhe challenger will get away from her anchorage today. The steam yacht Priscilla with a number of prominent New York yachtsmen on board will also meet the Teutonic. It is proposed to give the Irish baronet a royal welcome. The plan is, if possible, to take Sir Thomas and his friends from the liner at quarantine. Should the Teutonic not arrive until night, it is proposed to emphasize the welcome with a pyrotechnic display, for which a carte blanche order has been given.

None of the passengers were injured. The freight train was on a siding waiting for the (Iyer. It is supposed the train gradually worked out over the switch unobserved by the crew and when the passenger came along at ii high rate of speed the impact was terrific. Botha is reported hemmed In, which is another way of saying that the Boers are once again almost sewed up. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 21.���Th^ French ambassador, M. Constans, noti- , fied the sultan's first secretary that all diplomatic relations between France and Turkey are broken off, and that the ambassador has informed his government to this effect. M. Constans communicated direct with the sultan, because the latest negotiations were transacted with the sultan personally. Tho- ambassador justified bisection on the ground that the sultan broke his direct personal promise given to M. Constans at an audience in the Yildiz palace Thursday, regarding the purchase of the quay claini and the settlement of the disputed French claims. The foreign minister also garve formal notice that the agreement would be carried out; so in view of this double breach of faith, M. Constans holds that it is impossible for France to continue diplomatic relations with Turkey. It was announ-^ ced in a dispatch from Constantinople Sunday that tho sultan had agreed to raise a loan of 40,000,000 francs with which to purchase the quays at Constantinople constructed by a French compauy, on the understanding that, eventually, they would be taken up by the Turkish government. The French ambassador at Constantinople has been pressing the claims of the French'com-* pany for some time past and threatened to break off diplomatic relations witli Turkey unless the sultan promises redress by noon August 19. PARIS, Aug. 21.���rNight Report.]��� " A high official of the foreign office today informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the exact situation-, at Constantinople is as follows: Tho sultan at the last audience which ho granted to M. Constans, the French ambassador, agreed to send the latter the same or the following day a document giving complete satisfaction to France rogardhig the claims of French citizens ih the matter of the quays in accordance with the terms arranged between the sultan and M. Constans vor- bally. Insrcad of doing this, tho sultan waited until yesterday when he,s sent M. Constans a document in which the terms differed csentially from those arranged at the audience. Thereupon M. Constans declined to negotiate any- further or to hold other communications with the porte and referred the matter to tho French foreign oflice. His dispatch to that effect arrived late last night. As the matter stands relations between M. Constans and the porte are broken off, but France and Turkey are still in diplomatic relations through the Turkish ambassador at Paris. If the sultan does not keep the promises whicli he made at tho last audieiu**'. continued the informant of the correspondent of the Associated Press, we will have to recall M. Constans and send the ambassador his passports. A solution ono way or the other is probable within the next two days. Reply- - jug=to_n_niiestion, the forei**;n office offi- cial said: "No naval action on the part of Franco has yet boen decided upon. The --terries in the paners to the effect that the French warships are uuder orders to be in readiness to proceed to the Bosiihorus have no foundation in fact. Such a measure might of course become necessary, but that eventuality has not yet been considered by the French governmnt." * Firo Ptill Rages. PHILADELPHIA, August 21.���The big oil fire at the Atlantic Refining Company's works at Point Breeze is burning more fiercely today than at any timo since the explosion occurred. Shortly before six o'clock this morning another lank exploded and the firemen have given up all hope of saving any of the propei ty. The wind is blowing the (lames in the direction of the gasoline and naptha tanks and fears arr entertained that the gasoline tank will explode. The oil ran into the sewer which empties into the Schuylkill river this morning and the fire officials say the sewer is a raging furnace and that the flames will probably soon find their way into the river surface. All police boats that were throwing water on the (lames left this morning, so that they would not be caught by the burning oil when it flows into the river. "���** i * '< M --..�� - si M if I i ���. i ���OBI i > 1 i > Must Sta *.d as C n tituted WASHINGTON, August 21.���The navy department this afternoon gave out the latest official correspondence of the Schley case. It concludes with a letter from acting secretary Hackett to admiral Schley stating that "The department having constituted the court should not at this stage of the proceedings undertake to hear and determine questions that may arise respecting the competency of the members of the court Such a proceeding would be irregular, all questions of the nature being left to the court itself." This is a declination of the request made by admiral Schley's counsel that the attention of admiral Howison be called by the department to an alleged interview in which he said the credit for the victory of Santiago belonged to admiral Sampson. 1 *!

LoBg Life to Him. Thirty years is a large space in the 'life of Toronto, and Dr. Goldwin Smith is now associated by long residence with the later stages m the life of the great city which has grown- up around him. ' Toronto has been advertised as the home of one of the few, great modern writers "whose fame is universal. The city has profited by its relationship to Dr. Goldwin Smith, and in a"~flner sense his high sense of public duty, his unfailing kindness of heart, have touched the lives of his fellow citizens. The seventy-eighth birthday of Gold-' win Smith afforded opportunity this weok for the renewal of good wishes to Toronto's greatest .citizen. The passing years have not dimmed the brilliance of Goldwin Smith's genius, and it is pleasant to know that his bodily strength permitted him to journey to Gueiph and' enrich the ceremonies at the foundations of the new Massey Hall at the Agricultural.College with one of his own matchless speeches.���Toronto Telegram.

Answer- In answer to your question I am glad to have the opportunity to testify to the good-feeling that amounted to generosity on the part of the union in a body four years after the union was established. The condition of the coal market called for a revision of the scale;of wages paid to the men, and, on the matter being explained, first to the union oflicers, and afterwards to the whole,of the .company's employees,..assembled to hear,my explanation, the union, in a body, without, a single dissenting voice, accepted a reduction in wages to take immediate effect of 20 per cent, which at that time Avas equivalent to making the company a present of $20,000 a month. This reduction was.adhered to only for-a short'period, but a 10 per cent reduction continued for nearly-four years. We restored the |- 10 per cent not quite four years ago. HELJP^ WANTED.

The alarm was laughed at by some and taken in earnest by others. The president of the Canadian Pacific said it was possible for Hill and Morgan and their associates to obtain control of the road, but hardly probable. What was thought only ��� possible is now probable, for dispatches from New York say that the Hill-Moragan crowd must have the Canadian Pacific in order to maintain harmony of operation in the Northwest. What will now become of the competitive independent railway shouters in this province? Men who dropped the government ownership o�� ' A Valuable Experience The following is an extract from the evidence given by Samuel Robins ��� of Nanaimo, manager of the Vancouver Coal Company, before the royal com-' mission, and was furnished the Toronto Glqbe by R/C. Clute, chairman of the commission. It is interesting, as the experience of a mine manager : Question���-What is the effect of unions .upon the men? Answer���The influence is certainly good. If for no other reason than it L gives the mail a feeling of self-respect that he does not possess where he considers himself to be at the mercy of any irresponsible or short-tempered boss. For instance, ^vher.ejher.e^is^no^union^any-'arbitrai-y- treatment on the part of the. boss has to be submitted to, there being practically no court of appeal," but with the union a miner never ceases to realize that under no circumstances can lie suffer arbitrary treatment. In the one case a man can be knocked out of r.Ue mine, and must submit, even with starvation- staring him in the face; it may be at the mere whim of the boss, but in case of union mines if the boss loses his temper, he thinks twice before allowing it to master him to the point of committing an injustice. The general influence of the union is to improve the wages of the members as well as to raise their general status. With regard t othe question of hours of labor, of .whether work shall be done by the day or by contract, these are, the questions that at all times have to be discussed fairly and frankly between the opposing interests, and so far as my experi ��� once goes, they can always be settled on a basis fair and just to both sidos. Question���For what period of years does your experience extend Over? Answer���I have been a close observer of labor matters for nearly thirty years, and although not until the last. sixteen years brought into direct relation with miners and other laborers, long previous to that as secretary of large collieries in England, I had special opportunities of studying labor questions, and I may safely say that where differences between employee and employed have arisen, and no satisfactory arrangement has been come to, and strikes have resulted, I have never failed to be able to trace the cause of.the failure to temper or the absence of .reasonableness, either on the one side or the other. 1 have in mind today a very bad strike in the' north ,of England, that caused a stoppage of large collieries for over six months,' whicli would never have taken place had a little patience and forbearanc-3 been exercised on the part of the manager, and perhaps, I may add, a little less vaunting of the principle of union at all times and seasons, that caused considorablo amount ��� of irritation. Questions in dispute that are comparatively Insignificant at the beginning aro sometimes lost sight of during the heat of discusf ion, and attempted ��� coercion on one side and resistance to unreasonable demands on the uuner.

When lie went on tour, Jenkins, the -��� joint magistrate, took his wife into camp "with him. Likewise his child. The collector who was his chief didn't quite like it. He said it. interfered with the activity of Jenlcm's movements, and he had .observed that Jenkins often halted for several days at places where there was nothing special to investigate. He failed, however, to notice that these halts were usually within striking distance of productive snipe grounds, or jungles that yielded deer or even more coveted sam'**. Now Jenkins was a sportsman as well as a Benedict, while his morose superior owned neither a wife nor a gun. But, en revanche, he was very strong on the Code of Criminal Procedure, and had .aspirated r towards the high court. -He-would'have' been surprised and horrified had he 0 known how a wife in camp could help, all unconsciously, to. turn aside the current of the law, as it is the purpose of this narrative to show. He was undoubtedly an able'-jman, this collector, and conceived that the art of government lay iri the elaboration of rules and . the judicious use of statistics/Such men gain high advancement in quiet times. "So lie exacted weeklyaud monthly returns of their work from his subordinates,' and ; he had taken Jenkins, to task because the percentage of convictions out of the cases he had decided was S7.3, whereas the.district aver- ago was only 79.2. v To- which Jenkins ��� had politely:, replied that -he had hitli-- erto been guided, only by .the evidence in his decisions, biit that-: henceforth he would bear this hew instruction in mind. when forming his opinion on the merits of each case, and would be careful to convict only that proportion of criminals which would indicate the highest judicial, efficiency on his��� part. Which*, ingenious fiction kept the collector silent for several whole months. But he lay low all the time, ready to catch the joint tripping. For it musi be admitted that Jenkins had a deplorable way of-putting justice before law, which had endeared him to the simple people,: who understood the one and knew nothing about the other. .The col lector's turn for transfer to a more attractive post was about.due, and it was a question of time whether ho could get his claws into Jenkins for.some.departure; from prescribed procedure" be- ��� fore he moved up. . Meanwhile he asserted his authorit? by refusing, on soriie obvious pretext, to let the Jenkinses have that spare ten! which Mrs. Jenkins had found so convenient last season. This little meanness, however, didn't keep her in the station when the pleasant cold weathsi drew on, and the smoke began to. lie in layers on the evening horizon, and the tents were dragged out of the store room,* and the guns locked up, and the camels .hired, and Jenkins started oil to make the round b�� his division, and administer under the "village, tree the nearest approach which he found con- 'Rifit.r*nt_with_the:codos,and_cjrcu_I_ars_U*.al the collector loved and reverenced. So it befell that the Jenkins camp was pitched in a nice open grove, and the joint one late afternoon was administering justice in a canvas court in ont corner of it, while Mrs. Jenkins and Evie, aged six, were lodged in their little tent some way back among the trees. ��� "What's the next case?" said the presence rather crossly, for it was warm. Indeed, the presence (whisper it not in the high court) was in its shirtsleeves, and had been compelled to give up a ' chrished project of inspecting au adjacent lake whereon wild ducks descended in whizzing flights at sunset. Now it looked doubtful if it would even get time for its afternoon tea. These things make even presences cross. "Majesty," said the patient Munshi, "it. is a case of kidnaping and personation." ���.' ��� A groan from the presence. Kidnaping cases are apt to be tedious. "My lord," suggested the crafty clerk, "it can wait till tomorrow." . "No " said Jenkins decisively. That would be hard on the witnesses who can get no accommodation here. Besides, it is now too late to get. to the ducks. Produce the police papers and-let me hear what it is about." : The Munshi fished out a bundle of hieroglyphics on flimsy yellow paper and proceeded to intone the contents���swaying his body with the rhythm as. lie read. The report set forth how a gang of ingenious swindlers had for years carried on a thriving business in manufacturing brides for high-caste bridegrooms who could not afford an expensive wedding It was a trade that would not flourish in any other country where people choose their own wives, or are "hot married till they reach years of-discretion. But it did very well among 'Hindus, who are wedded any time after, they are weaned. The Arm dealt ajmost exclusively' in brides under 10 years, and the younger the better. Some of the little girls they ttole, and some they bought cheap, and some they even recruited from the families of their confederates. All of them were children of low caste or no caste, or child-widows, and therefore of no market value. The gang included some Rajputs and Brah- mans of good social standing, and it was their function to ke^p the children till they had forgotten their past or jiad been trained to conceal it. Then a SAVINGS BANK DEPARTMENT: Interest allowed on deposits. I'i'osoiit rato throe por cont. GRANGE V. HOLT, Manager Nolson Branch.. bargain was made with some necessitous caste-fellow who wanted a cheap wife, and was content to believe the plausible story under wliich her true origin was concealed. So the scavenger's daughter would become one of the, twice- born castes, and a motner of priests or warriors. ,. At last a woman's jealousy had given away the whole organization, and the police had swooped on the gang and produced them for trial, with a dozen or so of the faked-up wives and swindled husbands to testify against them. The witnesses were called and the sariie miserable story was repeated to the weary joint in half a dozen different aspects. Each, a sordid history of'greed and cunning and folly���human beings sold ���: and bought like sheep, and marriages that shamed the story of Eden. - "I think that is enough," said Jenkins at last. .'.-'.'.-���..' "There is just one case more," said the police inspector, who acted as public prosecutor; "it is a strong one,-but the witnesses have not yet been, summoned. We are prosecuting the girl. She shared" in . the fraud arid has confessed. Her statement and the man's might be taken, if your honor pleases." "Call Bulwunt Sing." He came forward with slow step. A Rajput of high caste, with all the. marks of breeding in his tall figure arid his "fine aquiline features, and of poverty in his humble dress, his gaunt frame, and trie deep lines in his kind and patient face. There was something pathetic in the air of grief and despondency that sat on the stooping shoulders and: the bowed gray head. The story was as sad as the man. He had been left a, widower without a child. When he was a younger'man his family had urged him to marry another wife���for a vsonlessrHindu lias.avblaek prospect in cliis world: and the next. No son to take over his burden of toil, to light liis iiineral pyre, or.offer the annual sacri- ilce.to his soul and deliver it from the hell called.'.Put,'-'where the sonless must abide. Even his wife had pressed him ';o, bring a rival to the house. But he had refused with loving" fidelity while -he lived. He was an elderly man when -he died, and alone in the world. Times had gone hard with him,"and he could not afford the "expense" that the ruinous practice, of his race imposes on a for- niar marriage. One of the gang, a distant connection of his family, had offered to find him'a wife���the daughter, ;ie said, of people "of equal casto -with ais own, but so impoverished that they .vould accept a very slender dower. Sus- -recting nothing, he went to the village moneylender and; pledging his few regaining acres, raised the money that was demanded. The girl was indeed a Rajput of the '���ightcaste, but, married in infancy, had oeen left a widow while her husband >vas still a little, child. The cruel custom of her class condemned her to a life of enforced and despised widowhood -^a drudge anda butt for the more for- :unate mothers of children. She was tutored in her new part, and cheerfully accepted it, as she would have accepted any alternative���even death in the village well. So Bulwunt Sing took her to his home, a budding girl, and there itf-tlie^comfor^and'proteetroirof^a^ldnd��� ly heart she forgot the bitter past. A few years later the crown, of happiness had come to both, for she bore to Bulwunt Sing the son for whom his heart had yearned many a weary day. The' Sirdar, too, made a canal through his village,, and with its water his, fields yielded so abundantly that he paid off his most pressing debts and hung a slender gold bangle on the arm of his child's mother. On this poor, happy little home a thunderbolt had fallen. Two days before Bulwunt Sing had been ordered to appear at the nearest police station with his wife, and there he had learned the whole bitter truth. He had been deceived even by her. Full well he knew the consequences which must follow a public exposure. He would be excluded from his caste���a lingering social death, and the boy, who was his pride and hope, would share his fate. He had begged the police officer to let the matter drop. He was ready to forgive the wretched girl, whose happiness was now bound up in his own, and to conceal his' shame from his brotherhood and neighbors. If the matter came to court, concealment would be impossible���for her a prison, and for him and his son an outcast's miserable life. It was curious that even at that bitter moment it never occurred to him to blame the perverse social laws which wrought such cruel wrong to him and his. - He accepted them as he accepted the pitiless heat of the sun, or the flood that swept away his crops���something he might try to evade, but need not dream of altering. Indeed, he would not alter them if he could. Had his case been another's, and had he sat in the caste council \:ith his fellows' to judge it, his vote would have gone with theirs to condemn the innocent victims of a misfortune which might have befallen any of them. Much water will flow from the Ganges to the sea before the slow-moving forces, that reach even Orientals, have purified that queer mixture of barbarity and benevolence that makes up the social code of the Hindu. All this Jenkins slowly and patiently gathered from the unwilling witness. "Anything more to say, Bulwunt Sing?" "Only this, sahib���I am an old man, and tomorrow or today, what does it matter?

And there is the child���who will tend him if his mother is taken away? Send us across the black water, but -send us together. Incarnation of justice, that is all." Then came the poor child-mother. The same cloak of clean white cotton cloth that, shrouded her covered the small son that cowered in her arms under its. thin shelter, in terror of the white man and the crowd round about.him. Two fat brown legs hung out and answered with a kick to the convulsive clutch with which the startled mother grasped him when the sahib spoke. In a low voice, - broken by tears, she told her story of the wrongs she had suffered and done. No need to repeat it. The inspector smiled with satisfaction while she admitted her share in the deception���seeking in a blind way to take all the blame *on. herself, lest any evil might, through her, befall the other two. No box of precious ointment was hers to offer, but a sacrifice of tears that might wash white a blacker sin than her paltry transgression. "The father of >'Zalim," she said���for no Hindu wife must speak her husband's name while he lives���"is blameless���he knew nothing. They told me what I should say, and theythreatened to beat me, and I said it. I deceived him, and he���-he was very good to me." And here the voice faltered and broke in a flood of tears, and little Zalini, under the cloak, answered with a sympathetic wail. "It will go to the sessions court," said the inspector to himself, "and I shall gain credit, for the judge-sahib will see that the confession is true. These women are fools���she had only to deny, and we had no good proof against her." In all that crowd the pathos of the story appealed to the listening Englishman alone. Unblinded by laws which, to the others, had supplanted natural feeling, he could see with clear vision the balance of right and wrong. What the woman had done seemed so little, and what she had suffered seemed so much, and before her still"a life of hopeless misery, with just enough happiness in the past to reveal its wretchedness, Beyond that, two innocent lives wrecked and a home broken up forever. And what was it all for? What'- sin- had these people committed that offended against the moral code? A man had, in ignoranoj, -married a widow and violated a law of caste. A broken, timid girl had allowed him to do it, and lent herself to the deception. ,A child had committed the offense of being born. So all three must suffer in the interest of the man, who would be rained by his vindication, and of the community, whose own heartless law was at the bottom of all the trouble. Still, the law was clear, and Jenkins was there to administer it. A fraud had been committed, and the woman had joined in it. The codes provide that people who join in fraud are to be prosecuted and punished, and magistrates are Uent to Dunish them. "It is not our business," the collector had more than once laid down with severity, "to make or. defy the law. How many of us are wiser than it?" So to prison the poor little nuDther =must~goTalfd^=wof^e~degfada^^^ fall on her child and its father, the innocent victims o��c, Western law and Eastern justice. "It is a beastly shame." said Jenkins inwardly; but I don't see how it can be helped. The collector is after me, and he is sure to hear of it. Some of his toadies will let him know. But it goes against the grain.. I wish he had the job himself." While he pondered, silence lay on the. court, and a woman s sobs and a child'; wail came from the mango shade where the prisoners sat. Jeevan Sing, the orderly, took advantage of this pause in the proceedings to deliver a message. "The mem-sahib sends word that tea is ready in the outer tent." "I'll be back in a few minutes," said the harassed joint. "Let the people go and have a drink at the well." And he went off with his. heart rather full; for this young man had his weak points. As he moved slowly across under the trees from his office tent, two ruddy little legs rushed to meet him, and two little white arrns*were extended, and a rosy little mouth said, "Daddy! Daddy! take me up and carry me in to tea oh your shoulder." And a smiling face looked out,a welcome for him from beneath the uplifted screen that served as a dobr to the dwelling tent. With a sudden resolution he put down the child with a kiss. ." "Run in, Evie; tell mother I have something which must be done. I cannot come to you and her till it is done." As he turned on his heel and strode back he muttered between his teeth, "By Heaven! I'll do such justice as these people understand, if- I do it for the last time." He took Bulwunt aside beyond ear-, shot of the others. , "Bulwunt Sing, I, too, am a husband and a father, as you are. Look me in the face and speaR as one man to another who wishes him well. Havo the people of your village heard this thing?" "No, sahib; none knows it. The messenger came at dawn and said we v. wanted. He was a rustic and knew not wherefore." "Then take a friend's counsel. See that none ever knows. I will release you and yours, and I will send you back to tell them what story you please to explain your absence.

"Incarnation of justice," said the Rajput, with a low reverence, "it is tho word of a wise ruler. I will do as the protector of the poor has ordered. May the English Raj endure forever!" A few tears trickled silently down the furrowed cheeks as he walked quietly away towards the mango tree, and Jenkins, who knew their ways, knew well that the heart was full of gratitude, though no.word of it was spoken. He knew, too/that if there again was trouble in the land," there was one man more who would lay down his life for the white rulers. v .The inspector accepted it as one of "the inexplicable eccentricities of these sahibs whon Jenkins took his seat again and said that the case against Bulwunt Sing's wife had failed, and she should be forthwith discharged and made over to her husband. Jenkins forgot all about his tea. He lighted'a cheroot and went on with the business -of the court till darkness put a stop to work. Before the sun set he saw a man with head erect and firm step striding olf in the distance down the white road. He had a child in his arms and a woman walked behind him. That evening his wife said: "Why didn't you come over to tea, dear? Evie was so disappointed,when you turned back. Then such a queer thing happened. A tall old man and a girl with a baby came and waited outside our-tent, and when wo came out they asked leavc���to .touch my feet and Evie's, and they made the little baby do the same, and then they all went away and didn't ask for anything." At that moment the orderly again interposed. "My lord, the coolie Has come with the vegetables from the station, and he has brought, this letter also." He handed' a large official envelope to the joint. ' Jenkins opened it and cried with a shout that distinctly lowered him in the 'opinion of the impassive Jeevan Sine." "By Jove! here's good news.

Since the last meeting the secretary has received an intimation from S. J. McLean, the Dominion commissioner on railway rates, to the eifect that lie will be able to" visit Nelson instead of obliging Nelson to visit him In Rossland. The commissioner has not yet settled when he will be able to.get here but it will be during the last" week of the present month or the'first week of September. Just why the commissioner of railway rates should go to Rossland-to-Inquire into discrimination in railway rates and pass over Nelson is rather hard to understand, but if all the commissioner's work is mapped out in the same way his report will not carry the weight which might be expected of it.

IRVING & CO, The funeral of the late Curtis Brott, who was killed at the Silver King mine on Monday night, took place from the undertaking parlors of D. McArthur & Company yesterday afternoon. The services in the Baptist church and at the grave were conducted by Rev. J. B. Morgan. Work at the Silver King mine was suspended to enable the men to attend the funeral ln a body and there wore upwards of 350 members of the Miners' Union in line. The pall bearers were Fred Overton, Joseph Lamb, Thomas 'Jerome. Richard Gaskill, Alexander VV. Grant and Robert F. Wright. The funeral service of the union at'the grave was conducted by James Wilks, secretary of the Nelson union, - Captain Gifford is down rrom the Silver King. He says that his cshool- liouee is now ready fpi* occupancy and Mex'o Peaceful and Laborious. In his last'inaugural address president Diaz of Mexico said that there was nothing brilliant to'chronicle'in the history of his country for tho last twenty- five years, but he added that "those nations that deserve to be called happy in the only Intelligible sense of the word, far from being without a history, have a very glorious and interesting one if besides being peaceful and laborious they are also progressive." Mexico undoubtedly belongs to this class, and it has achieved immeasurably more in the last decade than in the preceding centuries of wars and revolutions. The first thing to note is its general stability and the progress that .is implied in sound finance, railway and telegraph construction, business prosperity, the final and complete substitution of order for anarchy. But there are certain things that stand out preemi-. nently in the record which deserve a more special notice. - In 1S9<5 the publio school system was re-established and =the=authorities=began=to=enforce=in=ear-= nest a compulsory education���* law. Instruction is after the best models, and Mexico today Is doing far more to escape from illiteracy than Is done In some of the countries of Europe. It was in the year 1S96 also that interstate taxes were abolished. They had been a great impediment to trade, but were a main source of state revenue, and their abolition involved a complete reconstruction of the system of taxation, which could have been accomplished only in a country of diffused industries and well-ordered finances. The great drainage scheme for the city of Mexico was completed In 1898 at a cost of $20,000,000. Canal and tunnel are some thirty-seven miles In length and both the energy Implied in the undertaking and the cost speak for the vil- tality of the country. The same may be said of the Tehuantepec railway en-: terprise, with i\s fifteen millions .Qf government money for port improve-, ments. During the last five years the population of Mexico increased by 7.43 per cent. It now numbers 13,570,545, Numbers alone thus give Mexico Importance, but, as has been shown, they are not its greatest claim for respect. Indian blood makes a people unfit for political and industrial progress, Mexico under the wise dictatorship of president Diaz gives proof, seemingly ineon-. testable, that this is not so, N Tba Visit of the" Duke. The sunshine of a royal presence does not shimmer every day upon the prosaic landscapes of Canada, and if the peoplo of this wooden country require to be schooled and rehearsed, as Is now being done, in order that no "breaks" may be committed in giving welcome to a prince and princess, we may all be devoutly thankful that royal visits are rare, and that we chance to have preceptors, ln lord Crcmo de Minto and major Maudle, who know how to put; us through our facings. The intention evidently, is that as few Canadians as possible shall be permitted to look upon the future occupant, of the throno. A social ring fence, it seems, is to bo erected around his royal highness and all but the elect are to be shut out from contact with the holy few inside. ��� In order to give prince George a correct impression of the benevolent disposition of the Canadian populace, the streets wherever he goes are to be tight ly lined with troops, who will keep the savage denizens of these wilds from eating the royal party, and as far as' possible from satisfying their nonsensical desire to see something of what is going on. The fire-eating colonels, meanwhile, will disport themselves and monopolize as far as possible the attention of everybody. - According to the present arrangc5- ments, it will be a grand occasion for the self-projection of official, military and social bounders, while those on foot will be expected to permit themselves to be handled and utilized as stage properties for effect. 1, for one. doubt whether the young duke wants the kind of cut and dried, mechanical, eight-by-twenty-four velcome that tiie high cockalorums are arranging. Of course it is generally understood that good taste will prevent his taking exception to the program as mapped out in advance. He is .thus apt to find himself at the mercy of a clique of official busybodies who are utterly out of touch with the spirit and wishes of the loyal thousands who might'% violate some propriety if not sternly repressed and held back.���From Saturday Night. Disastrous Storms. HOOSAIC FALLS, N. Y., August 21. ���Destructive storms in Berushide county, Lower Vermont, and in Eastern New York, which began yesterday afternoon, culminated in a disastrous cloudburst last night. A bridge is gone at Pownal, Vermont, and people are forced to keep in houses by the depth of water in the streets. The wrecking force of the Boston & Maine railway is repairing washouts in the vicinity. North' Adams suffered great, loss from the cloudburst. The damage there is estimated at half a million dollars. A man named Fitz- patrick was drowned while trying to rescue a horse from the flood. The rainfall continues today. Does not contain any harmful Ingredients. Ironbrew. CERTIFICATE OP IMPE0VEMENTP.
