IT LOSES ANOTHER PROP
.GoYernment's Majority Cut by West
Il Yale's Election to Van
ishing Point.
Special to The journal.

Special to The Journal.
Vacouver, B. c., March 3.-The British
Columbia government has lost the West
Yale election. The result reduces its ma
jority to the vanishing point. Hence
everything suggests a short and turbulent
session, beginning in April, followed by a
dissolution of the legisla ture and general
election. 4
1t Is extremely unlikely under the Cir
cumstances that any new railroad sub
sidizing or enabling legislation of import
ance will be passed, such matters being
highly contentious and the government
being reduced to impotence. There may
however. be passed, as evidently a ma lor-
ity Of both the government and opposition
parties favor the change, a measure sub
stttuting for what is now a mineral per-
centage tax on ore output-less freight
and smelter cOsts-which bears heavily on
low grade mines, a tax on net profits,
after deducting the cost of operations, as
well as cost of freight and smelling. (
The change will, it is hoped, lend new
life to lower grade ore mining in British
Columbia, at any rate so far as gold,
copper-gold and gold-copper ore producers
are concerned. Other causes initiate
against any likely large improvement by
the movement in the case of the prov
ince's lower grade silver lead mines.
Now that the colliery strike at Nonaimo
Vancouver Island, is settled, there are
strong hopes of a busy season and large
output. The removal of the United States
import duty will give easier access to the
San Francisco market and somewhat
lessen the force Of coal oil competition
The Canadian Pacific is at present for
steamship and railroad purposes making
greatly increased purchases of Vancouver
Island coal.

The Only Spring Medicine That Can
Positively Guarantee Health
and New Life to Weak, Dis

Men and Women.

Another marked and positive victory for

veous example of life-saving! RIO
Mrs. Kate Grinnett,, a popular and well
known lady residing in Germania.. Sabine
county, Ark. who expected to die, is made
storer after the best efforts of a faithful
physician had failed. This victory, and
the scores of wonderful cures wrought
from week to week by Paine's Celery
Compound, create a confidence in the great
spring medicine that is enduring and far
reaching. At this season Paine's Celery
Compound rescues and permanently cures
young and old who are weakened and
broken down by disease; it never fails;
it's virtues are all-powerful even at the
eleventh hour. Mrs. Grinnett, thankful
for renewed health and strength, writes
thus: .7'-. = 90. = :.
Last September I was very i'll and

arms, at times so severe that was
obliged to use morphine. The doctor said
my liver was in bad condition. He treated
me for quite a long time, but only got
temporary relief. I heard of Paine's Gel

SOCIALIST SCARE
All the Other German Parties Com
bine Against Them,

Berlin. March 3.-An agreement has been
signed by the leaders in Saxony of the
conservatives, national liberal. anti-semite
and agrarian parties, providing for mutual
support at the Forthcoming elections. 1t
is specially aimed at the socialists and
it's chief feature is a pledge not to norni-
nate candidates against each other in dis
tricts already held by one Of these parties
and assigning the several districts now
represented by socialists to the parties en-
tering into the agreement. 1t is expected
to maintain at least the present ratio Of
representation in the reichstag.
Union of the parties is also being
effected in other parts of the empire and it
is not unlikely that the elections will be
a contest between the socialists on one
side and all the other parties on the other,
except the small radical groups.
Political events of the last two years
have caused the conservative elements
much apprehension. The socialists are
generally supposed to have gained largely
over their votes of $500 900 in 1898. Their
leaders expected two months ago gain of
from fifteen to fifty seats. but the COM
bination Of the political parties has moder-
ated these estimates until now the best
Informed men of the socialist party think
they will do well, if they gain ten seats.

Londoners Eat Horse Flesh.

A considerable quantity of horsefesh
is eaten in London. One firm OF
slaughterers kill $4,000 horses annual
ly, and they receive the carcasses of
another 10000 which are killed in all
parts Of England. Curiously enough.
London is the only town in Great
Britain where the catsmeat man
fiourishes. and there appears to be a
surplus of sixty tons of sound horse
flesh weekly of which the cats of the
metropolis do not account for. There
are sixteen licensed butchers in the
metropolis, who are mostly patronized
by Germans and Scandinavians, and
although the trade is carried on sub
rosa. it is hinted that very large
proportion of the timed delicacies
which figure on our breakfast table
owe their origin to the horse. London

In the morning with a deep box and

holes in the mornings to sun them
selves in the first warm rays. Mr.. Acre
comes along with his pitchfork and
hoists them hastily into his deep box
On a good morning he can pick up
from eight to ten, and sometimes
more. So far. he has experienced no
danger at all in the harvesting, though
the reptiles have coated his fork with
the venom from their fangs. Mr.
Davies uses the snakes in making an
oil that is declared to be death on
