ROSSLAND EVENING RECORD, OCTOBER 24, 1899. NOT FAIRLY USED “Rossland Rather Than 0. P. R. Shows Discrimination. ROAD LOST MONEY HERE President Shaughnessy Recalls Promises of 2000 Tons of Ore Daily Made by Mining Men When He Was Here Two Years Ago— Building to Sophie Mountain. “Two years ago, when I was last in Rossland, the business men of the city asked of the Canadian Pa- cific railway two things—an exten- ssion of the main line hither and a reduction on coke sufficient to ena- ble an $8 smelter rate We have more than granted both things. The main line is now here and ore is being handled ata rate of 257% 4ess than was then hoped for. Docs ‘that look as if the Canadian Pacific ~wrailway bore any antagonism to the T. G. Shaughnessy, somewhat portlier than of old, but none the less alert and active since his eleva- * sGion to the presidency of the Do- -aninion’s great transportation ‘sys- ‘tem, arrived this morning with a part of the company’s officials ona short visit of inspection. His stay ‘was a short one as at 3 o'clock he Welt for Trail and tomorrow will go aver the Columbia & Western rail- way to Greenwood. “*We are accused of discrimina- ion against the camp,” continued Mr. Shaughnessy. ‘‘Think for a moment. Two years ago when an 438 rate was asked, the mining men ‘here promised us 2000 tons of ‘ore Waily in case we should make such tcans. The Canadian Pacific has @one even better than that but we are getting only about 300 tons of wre to handle at the Trail reduction works, If there has been any dis. “Etimination it seems to me the peo- ple of Rossland have been discrimi- muting against the C.P.R. We have put hundreds of thousands in- the Canadian smelting works, and up to the present time it has proven -anything but a profitable invest- ament.” **Has it been a money-loser?” Mr. Shaughnessy smiled. ‘One mever likes to admit having. lost smouey,” said he. “Since coming here,” he con- Gaued, ‘1 have heard complaints _ that Rossland is not getting fair @reatment in the way of rates. I shall certainly give the matter my attention and if such proves to be «ase the matter will be corrected. “The survey now being made to Sophie mountain will determine the tuilding of a line thither.

General Merriam disclaims all re- sponsibility for the order refusing employment to union men in the mines. He says that this regula- tion was drawn by the state author- ities and that his only connection with it was to liberalize certain of its provisions, after which he placed his name at the bottom with the words ‘examined and approved.” He says it was not his intention that his troops: should have any part indictating the condition of labor in Idaho, and that they never did so.

Mr. Garrison has repeatedly refused $15,000 for the Kootenay hotel property on the remaining lot. Valuing the hotel and fixtures at $8,000, that means - | $7,000 for the remaining lot alone.

It is also believed that the Dutch beyond question are only waiting q rg 1 for the-T: 1 According to a Brussels dispatch Dr. Leyds, the diplomatic . agent of the Transvaal in Europe, has issued a statement that the Boers have now nearly 100,000 men in the field made up as fol- » lows: Boer regulars, 35,000; artillery, 1250; police, 1730; Orange Free State troops, 35,000; Natal Boers, 3,000; Bechuanaland and Rhodesian Boers, 8000; foreign legion, 600; Americans, 4000; Germans, 6000; Dutch, 2000; Irish, 1000; Scandinavians, 600; French, Swiss and Italians, 200. London, Wednesday.—General White’s third victory when the full effect is known will strengthen the beneficial effect pro- * duced by the previous battles upon the Dutch in Cape Colony and that is one of the strongest points in the game. The whole con-_ duct of the field forces thus far reflects credit upon the Indian generals White, Symons and Yule, and Colonel Hamilton, all offi- cers of purely Indian training, ‘and pupils of Lord Roberts and ex- ponents of his school of warfare. The statement was current last night that President Steyn was advancing on Aliwal, and actually issued a proclamation claiming all Cape Colony north of Vaalriver. ‘Whether the claim.is serious it is impossible to tell, A well known English banker says that President Steyn sent to England large drafts representing his entire fortune. The tidings that Yule was marching towards White’s field forces, and that there had been another successful action with the Orange Free State troops, brought smiles to English faces. There had beer deep anxiety since the war office was suspected of hold- ing back bad news. The junction of the two forces will enable them to take up a strong defe nsi at L ith, P London, Wednesday.—It would have been good strategy if the British field force in Natal had been stronger by 1000 men, but with the superior strength of the Foers the continued occupa- tion of Glencoe was a source of and its at | _was dictated by prudence. Military experts praise Joubert’s plan of operations and admit it was more brilliant and practical than the scheme of defense of the British side, by which a force inferior in strength was divided between two exposed posts and cut off from supporting each other. If Joubert’s three column’s had been in closer touch with each other and had been brought up in rapid order, the garrison at Glencoe might have been overwhelmed in spite of the superior ar- tillery fire and the gallantry of the troops. ‘All accounts agree that while the Boer artillery firing is not always effective, the marksmanship of the Burghers is fatally ac- curate with the Mauser rifles. They are as well armed as any European troops. t London, Wednesday.—A special from Cape Town this morning says there has been another battle at Ladysmith and the Boers repulsed. British Ities are placed at four killed and seven wounded. London, Wednesday.—General White reports that in the fighting near Ladysmith 12 British were killed and 89 wounded with five missing. The casaulties are larger in the Gloucester regiment. 3 London, Wednesday.—A special from Ladysmith dated Oc- tober 23, says the troopers of the Eighteenth Hussars, which went astray while pursuing the Boers, after the battle of Glencoe, have arrived at Ladysmith, having fought their way through with the joss ot only three horses.

It confirms the statement that in the’urmored train fight the British had two men killed and 15 wounded, including Lieut. Lord Charles Bentinck of the Ninth lancers, who was slightly wounded.
