No Arrests Made

No arrests have yet been made in con-
nection with the murder of the Chinaman
at Vernon Sunday night. The other China
man who was so brutally beaten is still
alive and may recover. The sheriff's office
is still at work on the case, but there is
very little to work on.
At the inquest on the body of the dead
Chinaman the verdict was that he came to
his death from blows on the head with
some blunt instrument in the hands of
parties unknown.

he hoped the house would receive fuller
inf ormation than was received in the curt.
cold allusion in the queens speech. Lord
Salisbury's brave words towards the sui
tan, he said, had not been followed by
brave deeds. The noble marquis had been
forced to abandon the cause of the Armen-
lans. Surely some course might have been
adopted between crusade and apathy.
The marquis of Salisbury, the prime
minister, was received with loud cheers as
he rose to reply to the criticism of Lord
Rosebery, the ex-premier.
He said: mo sympathy with Armenia
would justify us in facing calamities COM
pared with which the CriInean war would
| sink into nsianiticance."
After feeling reference to the death of
Prince Henry of Battenberg, Lord Sails
bury denied that anything had been given
up in the Siam agreement with France.
Turning to Venezuela, Lord Salisbury
concurred in Lord Rosebery's speech that
Americas mixture in the dispute had cen
duced to satisfactory results more rapidly
than If the United States had not inter-
fered. Speaking of the Venezuelan con-
troversy, Lord Salisbury. replying to some
points made in Lord Rosebery's speech,
said: Il do not think the invoking of the
Monroe doctrine was controve-sially quite
| necessary for tho United States. Consid-
| ering the position of Venezuela in the
| Caribbean sea, it was no more unnatural
that the United States should take an in
| terest in it than we should feel an interest
in Holland and Belgium, and from that
| point of view trust the negotiations will

81 do not like to go further into a aues-

| gross of the negotiations at present, but |
| have had an increasing belief during the
past few weeks that we shall, perhaps not
until after long negotiations, find some
satisfactory settlement, and ell danger of
rupture of relations between the two
nations be entirely removed. (Cheers.)

Mr.. Melcher's idea as to the ex
tension of the vineyards is the right
thing and we fully endorse it. The
company's vineyards ought to be
increased to fifty acres if not more
this season and we long to see the
