NOTHING OF THE SEATTLE.

RumOr From Victoria.

The money was refunded to those who
purchased tickets for passage on the
steamer City of Seattle. which should,
according to schedule, be now well on
her way north again, instead of five days
overdue from Lynn canal. F'ifty-three
tickets had been purchased, and a ma
jority of these holders were either trans
ferred outright to the City Of Topeka or
received their money and secured tickets
themselves on that steamer.

All efforts to secure information re-
garding the belated steamer from Ma
naimo have been without success. There
Is little faith pinned to the foregoing re-
port in local shipping circles, as Vancou-
yer island boats have heard nothing re-
garding the Seattle. Had she sustained
a broken shaft it is believed she would
have been reported first to the nearest
port and telegraphed here.
AS nothing has been heard from her
at Nanaimo local shipping men can see
no foundation for such a rumor.
The Seattles local agents are besieged
with inquiries. but they are as much in
ignorance regarding the Whereabouts of
the vessel as. Others. Her. nonappear-

The conditions in Porto Rico
are said to be pitiable. Starvation
such as has cursed India under the
imperial rule of England is now
making a vast charnel house of
this naturally prosperous island
under the rule of the present ad-
ministration. In some districts the
death rate from actual starvation
has been one in every ten Of popu-
lation. while in the city of Ponce
there were GOA deaths in the month
ofJuly alone. The people are crying
Cor bread and begging for work.
Under the rule of Spain the island
had free trade with the mother
country and with Cuba. Now they
have free trade with no country.
Business is paralyzed by an ini-
quitous tariff imposed at the die
tation OF protected monopolies.

TODAY the striking miners in
Pennsylvania meet in convention at
Scranton to decide their course
with regard to the offers of the op-
orators. For several days it has
been generally understood that the
men would refuse to accept the Of
fer unless accompanied by an agree
ment as to the duration of the 10
per cent. increase. 1t is consid-
cred probable that a conference
with operators will be asked for in
order that a definite understanding
may be reached before the men re-
sumo work. This is as it should
be. A man who invests capital
always demands degnite assurance
OF the continuance and stability of
his investment. The business cap
ital of the miner is his labor and
he should invest it safely.
