find him proved fruitless. The police were
notified, and friends of the family contin-

the boys body was found in the river in
about fifteen feet of water, 200 Yards above

fell into the water is not known. but the
position of the body when lying on the

slipped when standing on platform used
by those dipping water from the stream.

has converted powerful nation, once a
devoted ally, into relentless foe, and to-
day the real enforcer and uphoider OF
England's Eastern policy against Russia
is Germany. The true Craftsmanship for
England would be for her to abandon her
opposition to Russia and accept France as
her naturalaily. France could then cease all
movement for Russian alliance, and would
trust to England for protection against
Germany: Germany could not hope to sue
cessfulIy attack France and England with
out the help of Russia. and Russia hates
Germany with a cordial race hatred that
nothing could change. England in the
past blundered in needlessly provoking
Russia by foiling her advance on Constan-
tinopIe, for Russia wants nothing of India.
As il is, we repeat Germany is the arbiter
of Europe. and England's Indian empire
rests for security today indirectly upon
the bayonets of the Dreibund, whose battle
az is Germany.
Sir Charles Dixie holds that France and
England are naturally sympathetic in
their respect for free institutions; that
they have no political grievances OF seri-
GUS consequence to settle; that the highest
security for the peace of France and Eng
land would be an offensive and defensive
alliance against the absolutism of the rest
of Europe. Their united nayies would
protect their coasts, and their united mill
tary resources of men and money would
make it impossible for the absolutism of
Europe to assail either France or Englnnd
with hope of success. England could with
her money, add 100000 of soldiers to the
100000 France can put in the field. Eng
lands Eastern policy is blunder. and she
would do we'll to leave Russia to Ger
many and Austiia's tender mercy, and
make an ally OF France.

A INDUSTRIOUS ABsURDITr.

There never was an official judgment in
more fragrant disregard of law and evil
dence than that of Justice of the Peace
Sharpe, of Tacoma, yesterday. in the
X. y. Aibertson case. The charge against
Albertson was that of robbing the Fidelity
bank of 5000. 0co. and in all the testimony
brought out in the examination there was
not one word to support this charge.
The case of the prosecution was so pitifully
weak that even the prosecuting officer
could find nothing in it upon which to
base his argument to the court and his
whole talk was made with direct
reference TO the testimony for the
defence. Strangely enough it was the
weakness of the case against Albertson
that resulted in his being bound over for
trial. 1t was realized that under
the circumstances dismissal of the case
would leave its promoters liable to AL
bertson for malicious prosecution and to
bar this it was necessary to have judg-
ment adverse to the defendant. This is
the only reasonable construction of judg-
ment so at variance with the law and the
facts as to be on its face monstrous alb
surdity.

THE LIVERPOOL BOOM BURSTS.
Great Northern to Extend to Westmin-
ster-Big LaMsuit Follows.

ster-Big Lawsuit Follows.
NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c., Sept. 16.-
Especial. IA final decision has been
reached by the Great Northern to extend
the Westminster Southern branch from
Liverpool to South Westminster, leaving
badly disappointed large number of peo-
pie who invested at Liverpool in the ex-
pectation that that point would be the
terminus. Tenders were called today for
the construction of an extension to South
Westminster, and following this comes the
announcement of one of the largest
suits ever entered in this province.
1t appears the Southern Rail-
way Company received large grant
of land at Liverpool from Arthur E. Rand,
for terminal purposes, and entered into an
agreement in consideration thereof to con
struct and erect their terminal works and
buildings at Liverpool. Having failed to
keep the agreement, Rand today caused a
writ OF summons to issue out of the SUI
preme court, returnable at Victoria,
against the Westminster Southern Rail-
way Company, in which damages are laid
at S225, 900 for the alleged breach of con-
tract. Eminent counsel have been en-
gagged, and the case will come on after a
long vacation. 1t is evident the Liverpool
men are not going to submit without a
fight

of Psychical Research. The Indian gov
eminent, upon this exposure, forced her to
leave India Meantime Blavatsky had
quarreled with her confidant and helper, a
French woman, who published Blavatsky's
correspondence, in which she speaks W It'll
contempt OF her dupes and expresses her
disgust for Olcott as fool for allowing the
agent of the Psychic Society to examine
the cabinet.
From India BIavatsky went to Wurz-
burg, and when the scandal of her Madras
exposure had blown over she came to Lon
don and started spiritualistic newspaper
called "Lucifer. the Light Bringer," which
she edited up to her death with Mrs.
Annie Besant. She grew very stout in
her latter years; smoked cigarettes, and
her conversation was illuminated at times
by pyrotechnical profanity and gross hu-
NOR. She was kind of female Cagliostro;
smart charlatan. She imposed upon a
number of worthy people, even as the Rev.
Thomas l.. Harris did upon SO gifted
man as the late Lawrence Oliphant.
Mohammed was Individually an impos-
tor, but there are thousands of sincere
and worthy persons who devoutiy rever@
ence the author of the Koran; so there are
doubtless many worthy persons who, IKE
Mrs. Besant and the Countess OF Cath
ness, believe in Nine. Blayatsky; never
theless Blavatsky was brilliant chariatan
and female 'fakir' from her scalp to the
sole of her foot, and if Mr.. w. Q. Judge was
really "her intimate friend and fayorite
pupil" he undoubtedly knows a trick or
two and will soon be admitted to the peri
odical confidence of a "Mahatma" without
or within a cabinet. There have been per-
sons so credulous as to accept as miracu-
lous proof of the modern spirit intercourse
the stuffed efigy of an angel form with
breath that was sirocco bearing
in its breeze the aroma of an
Araby of onions. OF course. persons who
can reconcile onions in the breath of an
angel with airs from heaven or blasts
from hell, will have no trouble in believ-
ing that the late Nine. Blavatsky was
person of supernatural endowments, but
as matter of historical fact she was a
gifted adventures and monumental fraud.

Company ran away in the alley between
Front and West streets Tuesday evening,
and had narrow escape from running
into the bay. They ran along the alley to
Seneca street, turned up onto Front and
down University over the steep bridge.
As they neared the railing facing the bay
on Railroad avenue one horse tried to stop
and fell down, this alone preventing them
from running right into the water. When
the horse regained his feet they ran down
Railroad avenue two or three blocks and
were finally stopped without doing the
slightest damage.

Several passenger coaches in the repair
