SHAMROCK _AND DEFENDER.

Takes Also on

. the Run.

Soutaampron, July 8.—The Shainrock
unexpectedly loft her moorings at 11:30
this morning and sailed down South-
ampton water on @& canvas stretching
trip.. The Iverna also started, apparent-
ly ‘with the imtention of testing her
rpecd againat the Shamrock. - It ie said
the Prince: of Wales ia on board the
Iverna, which is a cutter owned by John
Jameson. Tke Meteor arrived and is be-
ing decked and cleaned. It is expected
she will be ready to sail next week,
though her captain still declares he has
not yet received orders to sail the yacht
agalust the Snamrock. Emperor William
is expected to inspect the Shamrock be-
fore she aaile for the United Ssates.
There is much interest in yachting cir-
clea here im the prospect of speedily got-
ting some inkling of the Shamrock’s
qualities.

Bitter Social War.

Lonpon, July 8.—Several arrivals from
Simla on the leet Indian eteamer report
that a bitter social war has been raging
at the Indian capital because the mother
and sisters of Lady Curzon, Mra. Levi
Leiter and the Misses Leiter, of Chicago,
demanded the same homage puid to
them by Simla society as is due to the
wife of the viceroy. '

Several officers’ wives struck against
such an order of things and refused to
attend the functions at which the Leiters
were present. As there are only 600
white people at Simla the situation be-
came exceedingly uncomfortable and the
sovial seneon has been a failure. Many
prominent women left Simla ratber than
put up-with the Leiters’ social demands.
Mra. Leiter, they say, is anxious to lead
in Indian society, und the refugees have
appealed to the queen to settle the dis-
pute. The protestants claim it is too
mack to expect the same homage te
Lord Curzon’s wife’s relatives that they
would pay te members of English roy-
alty.: The Indian papers are ridiculing
the whole dispute.

(| GLARING INACCURACIES EXPOSED.

A Citizen Makes Some Pertinent Criti-
eism of the Morning Mis-
take’s Methods.

To tne Eprror oy THe Recorp:
Sin—The Rossland Miner, in it efforte
te defend itself from the charge of pub-
lishing incorrect mining reports, has re-
sorted to the tuquoque, besides evoking
pergonal insinuations in the absence of
substantial arguments. That publica-
n some time ago was accused by the
d Recorp of exagger-

Now, in the summary, I took exception
40 the Miuer’s ‘systematic abuso of the
Canadian Pacific Railway company, es-
pocially when that abuse has not only
been inspired but ordered from the own-
ere ef: the Miner, who are “pressing a
claim for additional compensation.” (I
am writing by the book when I say this
“because I have the papera,’’)

I am a British-American; I have
stood up in a time of danger in defence
of my country, and J will not hesitate to
defend its vested interests when I be-
lieve they are unjustly assailed by repu- |_
tationless | Rewopapera and imported hire-
lings.

The Miner may rest assure that even
if I were disposed™ ta accept ita report
aud republish them, I could not do se,
because they have been objected to by re-
spectable publishers; and the Miner
cannot justly blame othera for its own
shortconiings.

The proof has been brought home toit
mere than once. First the Rossland
Recorp, which the, Miner affects to ig-
nore, though the farmer journal ia fully
entitled to recognition, and Ido not heai-
tate to say here, though I do not always
agree with its'views, it is entitled to re-

atedand unreliable reports of the mineral
output from Roseland mines, This ac-
causation was well founded. It is the
concengus of well-informed persons here
that Baron Munchausen and the Miner
have secured an option ia ‘repurts” and
“rumors” and that the Miner industri-
ously bulls the market in support of its
options.

Now, as te the inaccuracies. In ‘the
firat place, its errors and mistakes are
of long standing. The Rossland Recorp
was one of the firat newspapers to com-
plain of the Miner’s reports. In my own
case I repeat that.a very long time ago,
indeed, I found the Miner a very unre-
liable publication, and to charge me:

CG ig Mining: Record in ‘a letter to
me written some time ago, said ‘that he
had heard that the Miner’s returns were
inaccurate.’ ‘If you will be kind
enough,” he wrote, ‘to send me: the

I shall not only get later returns, but I
aball-be certain.that the figures are:cor>

to the benefit of its rib stabbing, seeing
thatits knife broke at the handle before
it could be used, It is a characteristic
custom of the malignity of which it ac-
cuses others. But let it continue the
game. I may have some fear of 2 man,
but none do I possess for a yahooor a
hireling who cnts throats and rib stubs
“to obey orders’?

In criticising the Miner's reports I am!
aimply attending to buainees. To beun-
truthful is to want veracity. I ain not
alone in the criticiamy. - Indeed I am
well supported, and the Miner stands
fully convicted, for it continued to pub-
lish even a typographical error on the
mining output long after its attention
had been called. to it. Itis a favorite
