The Coliiery Explosion.

NANAIMo, Feb. GA a mass meet
ing of the men was held Saturday
afternoon and evening. The meet
ing differed from the evidence at the
inquest, and claimed that the ex-
plosion was caused by accumulation
of gas from Honr's door being open,
which was started by shot and ex-
tended by the dust It condemned
the inquest in not allowing full evi-
dence of the miners committee to be
taken. A motion was carried for the
men of each colliery to go to work as
the Ohinamen are taken out.
A committee was appointed to pre-
pare the proposed amendment to the
mining act. The question of the
safety lamp and the proposals of
manufacturers were left to the hands
of miners in each colliery. The com
mittee are to interview the managers
this morning, and mass meeting is
to be held in Nanaimo On Monday at
p. M.
NANAIMo, Feb. 6-The miners
meeting advertised for Saturday
night adjourned until tonight. In
dications point to a general strike of
provincial miners. The supply of
coal in all mainland towns is practice
ally exhausted, and coal famine is
imminent.

Judge Kuhn's Mission.

The departure of Judge Kuhn
for Washington to aid in securing
the passage of an appropriation bill
is the occasion for an attack on his
motive and mission as we'll as on
himself by the city correspondent of
the Post-Intelligencer.
1t certainly is proper aud right
that Port Townsend should have a
capable man at the National capital
to look after her interests. The one
delegate of this Commonwealth, Mr..
Voorhees,, has shown so far, not the
slightest concern for our interests. 1t
is hardly to be expected that he Will
do anything to help along our GUS
toms building. Mr. Kuhn is as good
a man as our business men could
have selected for this purpose as he
is in sympathy with the dominant
party and has been at Washington
several times before
The bill to create supports of entry
at Seattle and Tacoma is certainly a
direct menace to our public building
and should be held in abeyance un-
til our custom house is completed. If
there should be ANY reason however
why such bills should pass, we pre-
sumo our National Legislators will be
able to see such reasons and not be
deferred from doing right by Port
Townsend's representatives.
We desire to say, however, that
every effort must be made to get our
appropriation and finish our building.
Let every man do his best and aid
Judge Kuhn all he can.
We can not believe that this P.-I.
correspondent is a friend to our city,
or that Seattle is truly represented
by his style, or spirit. Port Town>
send wants her custom house COM
pleted, and the whole district needs
it whether there are supports of en-
try or not

The territorial council did right
in rejecting the nomination of DIR.
Newell to public position. The re
publicans don't recognize the Doctor
as republican, and the Democrats
regarded him as a peoples party
man and therefore unworthy of their
support on political grounds. Gov.
Semple had adopted the course of
appointing a minority on each and
every commission, composed of more
than one person, from the republican
party-and the republican members
of the council claim that such repub-
ican member, so called, should be a
member of the party recognized as
such and acceptable to them on the
ground of party position. In other
words, as DR.. Newell went out OF the
republican party in the last election,
after only trying to secure its con-
gressional nomination, and did his
level best to defeat the election of
the candidate who was nominated
the republicans in the council do
Lot feel like rewarding such action,
especially if it is to be charged up to
the credit of the party.

In the revision OF the tariff Wash
ington territory is particularly inter-
ested in four items-wool coal, iron
and lumber. What effect free trade
would have upon the industries that
depend upon the products of our for
ests and mines has received but little
attention here, except from those
directly interested, and scarcely any
discussion from them.
The tariff on lumber is two dollars
per thousand feet. If this should be
abolished who would receive the BEN
efit-the consumer in the United
States, the mill owner on the other
side or the Provincial Government
Let it be remembered that no Ca-
madam lumber manufacturer owns
the land or the timber thereon. 1t is
owned and always controlled by the
government of the province In which
it is located. The provincial govern
ments have, for the past two years,
shown every intention of advancing

Der dues" 10 be paid by the license
holders of timber lands.
The United States government sells
its public lands at price in fee sim.

trolls it absolutely, as he would all
other belongings, subject only to
state and local taxation. The Ca
madam governments go into the open
market on a fixed day, at a fixed
place, full notice of which, with the
locality and area of the lands 10 be
sold is given, and the same is put up
at auction, not for the sale of the
lands, or the timber thereon, but to
