BUT HE GETS HiS ANSWER A Crowded Audience Hears the Premier Dis- cuss the Well-Worn Theme of His Expul- sion from Office and His Great Platform— Forster's Vigorous Reply. For the first time since his notor- ious speech at the Hon. Joseph Martin last evening address- ed a Rossland audience at the Min- ers’ Union hall. The meeting had been well advertised, a brass band gathered the crowd, everybody, whether for or against him, wanted to hear Martin and the result was a meeting which oozed out at the doors. Chris Foley occupied the chair, although in his opening speech, he said he might find himself opposed to Mr. Martin. Mr. Martin reviewed the well- worn theme of his quarrel with the Semlin government and, in this connection, paid a few compliments to James Dunsmuir. He reiterated his determination to continue re- enacting the anti-Oriental labor laws until the Dominion and im- perial governments let them stand, but made a poor explanation of his opposition to the labor regulation bill by which the Semlin govern- ment sought to deal with the sub- ject without exceeding provincial powers. He went over the same old ground in relation to the Crow's Nest land grant, but added ro new point to the argument he has ad- vanced in former speeches on this tour, thus failing to meet the points made against him by opposition speakers. He was of course very severe in his condemnation of the C. P. R., which he accused of buy- ing the Vancouver News-Adver- tiser and of being behind the oppo- sition to anti-Asiatic labor laws. He claimed all the credit for the passage and enforcement of tue eight-hour law, and threw doubt on the sincerity of the Conservative advocacy of the eight-hour princi- ple. He attacked Magistrate Boult- bee for swearing in Pinkerton de- tectives to guard the mines and Mayor Goodeve for authorizing this action, but admitted ‘that his own interference was not warranted. He attempted to explain his vote against redistribution and his breach of a written agreement in so doing by saying that he had discovered that, after the second reading of the bill, a coalition between the Turner and Semlin parties was to have come ‘into effect and the bill was te have been dropped. He waxed eloquent on his banquet, gov- shameful letter to Mr. Semlin. condemned Mr. Martin for attempt- THE ONLY JOSEPH lsssmnet tata fr atone nese and Japanese labor question at a Martin Speaks on the Scene of His eiyzn complications. to deal with the question was to send a petition to the throne and get the imperial government to en- ter into negotiations with the Japan- ese government, which ‘objected to He the empire was in a threatened with for- The best way when emigration. As regards coalition, he said Mr. Martin had attempted it with both Messrs. Dunsmuir and Turner, whereat Mr. Martin said: ‘‘No.” He denied that Mr. Martin had more to do with the eight-hour law than he had and declared strongly in favor of that law. He showed the inconsistescy of Mr. Martin’s opposition to the labor regulation bill and friendship for Mr. Duns- muir, the greatest employer of Chinese labor, with his present at- titude on the Chinese question. He also said that Mr. Dunsmuir's em- ployment of Chinese might drive other coal companies todo so in selt-defense. He pointed out the absurdity of Me. Martin's pledging himself to build the gov- ernment railroad before he had made a survey or knew he could borrow the money. Smith Curtis spoke on the same lines as Mr. Martin, attacking Gov. Mackintosh's attitude on the eight- hour law and reviewing the Martia platform. James M. Martin replied on behalf of the Cotton government and the premier wound up the meeting. The applause which greeted Jo- seph Martin came only from a few individnals, the body of the audi- ence remaining critically silent. Mr. Forster was subjected to frequent interruptions, but held his ground bravely. After-he concluded, a large part of the audience left and it per- ceptibly thinned from that time un- til the close, near midnight. TODAY'S STOCK SALES.

He was confident of the ability of the province to borrow the money at three per cent. He would borrow $1,000,000 to build roads and trails and add $50,000 a year to the taxes for interest and sinking fund. He closed with a declaration that he would not accept the sup- port of independen and that, if he had not a majority pledged to him and his platform, he would re- sign. In reference to his ‘‘white-shirted hobo” escapade, Mr. Martin admit- ted that he was drunk on that oc- casion, but said that he was not a drinking man and had_ never before or since been drunk during his resi- dence in British Columbia. Hon. Thomas Forster, ex-speaker of the legislature, replied to Mr. Martin amid many interruptions. He said that a man who not only got drunk, but atthe same time said he would take away the appro- priation for the place w here he com- mitted the offense, was not fit to be trusted with the government.

Victoria, May 2.—In an interview here, Ralph Smith said that, though hz endorsed some of Martin’s prin- ciples, he judged the man by his past action, which was to wreck the Semlin government, even when it was attempting to bring legisla- tion in favor of working men. He therefore adhered to the Semlin y | Soverament platform and was en- i | tirely independent of Martin.

London, May 2.—It ts difficult "to unravel the tangled stories coming from the neighborhood of Thaban- chu, but apparently the British fi are wed ina having for its object the hemming in of the Boers still in that district.

As Gen. Botha has been reinforced theré.isévery ‘prospect of sharp fighting. The new scena_ of operations and the general movements of the var- ious columns ara taken. to indicate that Lord Roberts is deploying his army preparatory to beginning his northern march.

Kruger Says British Mum Leave. A dispatch from Pretoria gives the text of Pres'dent Kruger’s proc- lamation, expelling British subjects from the Transvaal. It says: “As numerous burghers insist upon the removal of the British and as the government is desirous of complying with the wishes of the burghers and others favorable to the republic, all Britishers residing in the district and town of Pretoria and the Witwaters Rand gold fields, must leave the state within 36 hours from noon April 30.

The Boers on the mountain are now shelling the outlying camp, necessitating removal to another place. The Boers have three guns on the hill to the eastward ‘of this place, outside the -range of the British artillery. The Boer shell- ing is not doing any damage. The enemy retained their positions and the British are not attempting to dislodge them. General Hamilton, by reaching Houtnek, after a full day’s fighting, secured the Thaba Nchu-Bloemfon- tein road.

SHOT AND BEATEN Heary McArthur Saved from Murder by Officer Raymer. BLOODY MIDNIGHT AFFRAY Rafael Albi Caught In the Act of Beating His Victim After Shooting Him—R. A. Albo Accused of Doing Him Bodily Harm— Albi Has A Bloody Record. As a result of a shooting affray at the Columbia hotel on First avenue, Henry McArthur lies in the Sisters’ hospital with a wound in his back, his legs paralyzed and head terribly beaten, and Rafael Albi is in jail. charged with shooting him with in- tent to murder, and M.A. Albo is also in jail, charged with doing Mc- Arthur great bodily harm. : Shortly after midnight. Officer Raymer saw .McArthur_ enter. the Columbia lodging. house, slightly d, and afew i after- wards heard a shot, followed in close succession by ‘two others, from the upper floor He rushed upstairs and found Albi, in his’ un- derclothes, flourishing a revolver over McArthur, who lay prostrate on the floor of the landing. At the risk of his own life, he seized Albi and disarmed him, finding that three bullets had been fired from the revolver. But for his interterence, McArthur would prohably have been killed, for Albi had been pounding his head and face with the “ muzzle of.the revolver.» Albi was taken to jailand McArthur to the Sisters’ -hospital. Of the three Spbte: the first ap- pears-to have been fired through the door of Albi’s room and missed its mark, lodging in‘the opposite wall. Another was fired down the halland struck the wall in a glancing direc- tion. The thirdhit McArthur in the back and must, have caused him to fall, athis assailant’s mercy. The latter then, it appears, proceeded to beat the man on the head. _ Albo is alleged to have aided Al- bi in the assault and to have made off when Raymer appeared on the scene. He was arrested this morn- ing .by Officer Bradshaw. At the time of going to press Mc- Arthur was resting easily, but Dr. Reddick, who attended him, had been unable to locate the bullet nor to exactly define its’ course. Both of McArthur's ‘legs are paralyzed and the doctor thinks this is due to some injury to the spine. The wounds on the face- and head are so severe that they will leave scars, even if McArthur should recover. * Albi has left a trail of blood in his track for the last year. He killed a man ina quarrel at the Coeur d’Alene theatre in Spokane a year ago and escaping, was shielded by other Italians until finally he was betrayed by one of them. The latter was hounled by the Italian colony of that section and his murder was attempted and another man, who testified against. Albi, was assassinated recently. Only a short time ago Albi's trial came off at Spokane and he was acquitted on the ground of sefl- defense. : : The police refuse to give- any account of the assault or of the events leading up to it, and will not allow the prisoners to be inter. viewed, but it is known that Albi and McArthur had a quarrel during the evening at the Headquarters saloon.
