Factories Shut Down,

Yesterday at Binghamton l found that
the trusts had shut down tannery and a
match factory. and you will find all over
this country these factories shut down. and
II you attempt to engage in business as a
manufacturer you will have to risk bank
rUptcy, because the trust will come into
your territory and undersell you there
while it plumbers all the rest of the people
of the country to keep up the price and
thus be able to do it,

BONA-FIDE CIRCULATION,

A reference to the statement be-

1t is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mousiy. in order to deceive adver-
Users. by sending out thousands of
papers to newsstands which are re-
turnable. and which are, in fact, re-
turned, but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an

Intelligent advertisers. however,
judge by results. and bogus circula-
tons don't give them.

Special Dispatch TO the Post Intelligence
VANCOUVER. b. C.. April 1.-The pro-
vincial Liberal convention today was,
while It lasted, the hottest political meet
ing ever held in Vancouver. Three hun
dred delegates from every district, from
Boundary to Atlin, were present. The first
dispute arose over the appointment Of
chairman. Ex-Attorney General Hender-
son moved that Hon. Fred Peters, OF VIC
toria, strong snti-Premier Martin man,
be temporary chairman. Alderman Me
Queen, president OF the Vancouver Liberal
Association. mapped out in detail the pro-
gramme set for the convention by the Lib
eral Association OF Vancouver. E =. Dn-
Wis, q. c, Martins strongest opponent. OBJ
jected to Vancouver debating to any con-
Nention representing the whole province
which provoked an attack from Martin on
the "eminently fitting remarks OF the So
hcitor Of the Canadian Pacific railway"
cries OF Rats" and Shame" and the
general uproar made It impossible for Mar
Tin to go on. and he could not secure
hearing until Davis iTterposed in his be-
half few minutes later. There were
sometimes three speakers on the platform
trying TO speak at once, and II was forty
minutes after the meeting convened that
a chairman was elected The convention
adjourned until o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. The credentials committee is meeting
tonight, and a hot dispute took place. The
difficulty has arisen from two delegations
being present from Esluimalt, one for and
one against Martin, and too many dele
gates from Cassiar and Cariboo.
The proposition OF Martins following is
to turn out forty-six delegates. which will
probably have the effect of bringing the
convention to an abrupt close.

SAILING OF STEAMER ALPHA.
Cleared From Vancouver for st. MI
chael with 324 Passengers.

VANCOUVER. b. c.. April after a
delay OF two days the steamer Alpha,
owned at this port, sailed this evening for
Cape Nome, with s2i passengers and with
all the freight which could possibly be car
RED As Cape Nome is not a United
for St, Michael, from which port tho
freight viii be entered and returned to
Nome. In this way It is hoped by the
owners TO avoid conflict with the United
States treasury officials.
In compliance with telesraphic instruc-
tions received from the secretary of state,
w l.. Dudley. United States consul al this
port, has telegraphed to Washington all
available data regarding the freight and
passengers on the Alpha.
Much interest was manifested here yes
terday In the Alphas departure. As many
OF her passengers are citizens of Seattle.
there will doubtless be more or less anx-
icty until IL IL known that they reached
their destination in safety,
The announcement that the Alpha will
discharge her freight at st. Michael came
a surprise to persons conversant with
the representations made by the agents OF
the vessel to those who purchased tickets
for the voyage. In every instance 1t was
stipulated that both freight and passen-
gers would be landed "on the beach at
Cape Nome" Dut according to the fore
going dispatcL the cargo is to be dis
charged at st. Michael. Nothing is said
about passengers. the inference being that
the Alpha Will take them on to their des-
tination. However. local marine men in
terpret the treasury departments declara-
tions as meaning that not even this shall
be permitted.
Water front rumors say one and posi-
bly, two United States revenue cutters will
be dispatched after the Alpha to prevent
her landing either passengers or freight
at Cape Nome In that connection the fact
was cited that the revenue cutter Grant
coaled on Tuesday and Wednesday. The
Incident by some was construed as mean
ing that she is to be sent north immedi-
ately TO see that the treasury department
regulations are not violated by the British
steamer.

cattle and about lo0 tons OF eggs butter

Arthur Charollais, a demented in

woods and finely polished.
The triangular knife had engraved
on it, This blade cut Arthur Charol-

"But we can hardly take him there
