Napo1eon's Views on the Precaution to
Prevent Hia Eacnne


Prevent His Escape.
One of the hitherto unpublished ex-
tracts from Dr. O'Meara's ST. Helena
diary, now appearing in the Century,
records Napoleon's views on the pre-
cautions taken to prevent his escape.
He spoke anew about escaping ana
said that IL he was inclined to try it.
which he was not, there were ninety
hve chances in hundred against his
efecting 1t; "but" said he, "this taller

death. They must, however, be con-

south of Boise and about 10 miles above
Guffey. The Snake river there has a
considerable descent and the current

to put in a rock crib dam which will

BRITISH COLUMBIA,

The Evening Star Mining company,
which sold out it's interests in the Ross
land district some time ago, has filed
a petition to disincorporate. Hearing
has been set for July 8.
Rossland is once more forging ahead
and the British America Corporations
works will soon equal those of the
great Anaconda in Montana, says G. P.
Chamberlain of the Evening Star.
A discovery of seemingly valuable
building stone was made about four
miles from Grand Forks, B. c., last
week by Give A. Pettijohn. The stone
looks much like marble, but is so soft
that it can be sawed into blocks by a
common saw. 1t appears, nevertheless
to have all the qualities of high grade
building stone. There is a large de-
post of the stone, and it is reached by
a good wagon road.
The crosscut which is being driven
for the rorth ledge in the lion Mask
at Rossland, has struck an intermedi-
ate ledge SO feet flom the south ledge.
1t is 10 feet wide, half of the width be-
ing solid ore and the other half min
eralized rock. Eight feet further the
crosscut this morning ran into another
body of ore, which may prove TO be a
spur Of the same ledge. The crosscut
is making rCgress at the rate of about
three feet in "a hours.
At a recent extraordinary general
meeting of the shareholders of the Hall
Mines, limited, the scheme of reorgan-

pany, limited, is to be f325,00O. Of
which 100000 ordinary shares are to
be given in exchange for 100000 or
binary shares held by the shareholders
of the old company. These new shares
will be credited with Is shillings paid,
| and will carry a further liability of
five shillings per share.
Splendid reports continue to come
from Camp Mckinney regarding the
development on the Mammoth. The
winze being sunk from the tunnel level

The quartz is we'll mineralized through

Camp Mckinney is again the talk Of
mining operators. With the Cariboo

and turning out their gold bricks and
the Lemon 10-stamp mill shortly to do
likewise, there are brighter prospects
than ever in store for the camp.

Resolution Not Taken Up.

At the conclusion of Clark's speech
many of the senators crowded around him
and shook his hand most cordially. As
soon as order was restored Senator
Chandler asked that the consideration of
the resolution declaring the seat vacant
be postponed, which was done.
There is yet some doubt as to what
will be done with the resolution of the
committee on privileges and elections in
the Clark case. This committee will mold
a meeting to consider the form of pro-
cedure. Some of them think the senate
should take action on the resolution,
while others say the resignation leaves
the seat vacant and no action is neces-
sary.
Helena, May l6.-A special says:
Lieutenant Governor Spriggs, who ar
rived yesterday, received Senator Clark S
resignation and will reappoint Clark. The
opinion is prevalent that as Clark has
resigned before the senate declared his
seat vacant the governors appointment
will be recognized.
Governor Smith wired that he would
leave California, but will arrive too late
to stop the action of Lieutenant Governor
Spriggs, who belongs to the Clark fac
ton, while Smith ia allied with the DAILY
faction.

GLASS TRUST BANDITS.
DEALERS TAKE STEPS TO FIGHT
THEIR EXACTIONS.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec 6-At a meet
ing of the Philadelphia Paint club last
night the first step was taken in the di-
rection of a general movement to resist
what is considered an unjust demand
upon the jobbers of paints and glass by
the window glass manufacturers. It is
stated that notice has been served by
the manufacturers on all their CUSTOM
ers that if they expect to continue their
business relations they must agree not
to handle any foreign-made glass unless
it is the output of factory for which
some member of the manufacturers
combine has the agency in the United
States. This would put an end to COM
petition in certain lines of glass that
are now made in this country, and be-
sides dealers would be unable to secure
supplies of any kind unless the agree
ment was signed The paint club de-
cided to at once set about enlisting all
organizations in the trade throughout
the United States, in an effort to fight
what the members regard as a most
unjust demand
The question was referred to the execu-
tive committee, who drafted a set of
resolutions, which, in brief, request the
National Paint, Oil and Varnish asso-
citation to suggest to the various local
organizations III the country that in
quiry be made regarding tariff inequal-
tiles and abuses 1t is hoped by cor
respondence, petition and assistance Of
other commercial organizations to crys-
talize the sentiment of the country In
the direction of q revision of the tariff
on more equitable lines.
