Passes Through the City.

]. Stewart Wallace, ex-M. P. for one of the
divisions of the city of London in the British
house of commons, and chairman OF the Bon
Accord Placer company, limited, conducting
operations in Montana, was at the West hotel
yesterday, having just arrived from the West.
He visited this section six years ago and sus-
tanned severe injuries in q railroad wreck.
1.-THE company, of which am chairman,
said Mr. Wallace last evening, owns three
miles Of territory In Beaver Head county,
Montana and the ore contained in this space
is estimated to be worth f1,000. 900. BY the
new process of dredging from 81 600 to 1000
worth of ore is taken from the mine daily.
We have three dredges at work, but have
placed an order for another ene-half as large
again as the largest built This new process
marks most important departure IN placer
mining. -

.'The expulsion of Redmond and some OF
his followers from the commons at tnls
iuncture is the natural sequence OF events.
Although have always been nome ruler
and a follower Of Gladstone in his nome ruie
policy. there is no doubt to my mind that Dy
their course in the house the Redmondltes
are alternating public sympathy. fnelr preSe'l'
tactics are unwise and untlmely.

elections are too frequent. Six or seven
years would be suitable compromise, ana =
would limit the office to one term. Ihe laea

1.-THE . advocates of imperial federation are
not numerous in the British commons. Inc

Mr.. Wallace is TYPICAL Britisher In appear M
ance, but, as he confessed, has become I'M
pregnated with American: ways to a certalh al1,
extent. He is especially conversant with
affairs of state at home. His seat In pariia-
ment was close to that of Edward Blake, the
Canadian statesman who accepted a seat
for a constituency in the Imperial mousse.
