Held in Honor of Edward Boyce,
Miner's Union Organizer,

WEL ANTERDED AND EXTHSIASTIC

Messrs, Boyce, Martin, Bogle, Good-
eve and Wilks Were the Speak-
ers of the Evening.

The Miners’ Union hall was comforta-
bly filled last evening to listen to the
eloquent and logical president of thc
‘Western Federation of Miners, Edward
Boyce, and other warm friends and ad-

vocates of the cause of the working peo: |.

ple. 7

Mayor Goodeve was to have opened
the meeting by a welcome address to the
distinguished visitor, but was detained
at a meeting of the city council.

Chriatopher Foley presided, and called
tothe platform James Martin, M. P.,
James Wilke and D. B. Bogle.

Mr. Bogle, who has always been a pro-
nounced friend of Jabor, was first called
upon, and made a short but appropriate
and pointed speech, and took occasion
to say that oar member, Mr. Martin,
had kept his pledges made the labo
unions.

Mr. Bogle had had the honor of intro-
ducing the guest of the evening, Br.
Boyce, tothe people of Rossland, and
took pleasure in being able to again ap-
Pear with him upon the public platforin
an behalf of the cause of labor.

Mr. Martin, who followed, was loata
in taking upon himeelf the credit of ce-
curing the passage of the eight-how
law, stating that it belonged” to the en-
ergy and efforts of the ‘Trades and Labor
Council, He had, however, supported
it and the law prohibiting the employ-
mentof Chinese and Japanesein the
mines. His remarks were well received.

Mayor Goodeve had by this time
reached the hall, and was invited upon
the platform, and addreseed the meet-
ing briefly, welcoming Mr. Boyce and
congratulating this community upon the
harmony anJ good will which prevailed.
His voice had always been heard in fa-
vor of high wages, and he believed in
Jabor organizationa and realized that
they accomplish much good for the wage
earner,

James Wilke, who is well entitled to
be counted arnong the leading advocates
of the cause of the working man, anda
promoter of organized labor in British
Columbia, was the next speaker, and
dwelt at considerable length upon fhe
theme ofthe evening. Mr. Wilks, isa
Pleasant, logical and forcible speaker,
and showed plainly that he was well
versed in the problem of labor and capi-
tal.
seThe manner in which Mr. Boyce was
received showed plainly that he occu-
pied an important place in the hearts of
the laboring people, who wera out in

‘force to hear him,

He said that the purpose of organized | -

labor was to exalt and elevate mankind
to procure employment at fair and liv-
ing wages for its members, and to cure
for the sick aud disabled of the frater-
nity and their families. These were the
enobling purpose of organized Jabor.
They were not always right no more
than organized capital was always right.

ing men were ii misled
aa sometines in the heat of an un-
guarded moment, spurred on by injury
and oppression, did violent and. impru-
dent things, but organized labor hus
never yet been accused of attempting to
corrupt legislation.

‘The epeaker scored trusts, department
stores and combinations against the
People and expressed the hope that the
day of strikes hud passed, as labor und
capital was reaching a better under-
standing,

An Electric Road.

TEN FREIGHT STEAMERS LOST.

More Yhan 300 Lives Lost and $2,500,000 in
Property.

New York, March 15.—fhe Tribune
publishes the following: It seems now
almost certain that ten freight steamers
have been lost on the Atlantic in the re-
cent storm. This involves the loss of
more than 300 lives, and $¢2,500,000 in
property. There yet remains a slim
chance that some of the crews may have
been picked up by slow-going sailing
vessels, bound for distant porte, or that
one or twoof the muesing. ships may
atill be drifting, disabled far away from
the usual lines of ocean travel, bat the
possibilities are heavily against the hope.
[tis said the rate of re-insurance on the
missing boatd is90 guineas. All, per-
haps, went down in the fearful hurricane
of last month.

Two tables, the length of the Miners’
Union hall, were ‘not sufficient to accom-
modate the guests who attended the
banquet last evening given by the
trades & labor council to Edward Boyce,
president of the Western Iederation of
Miners, These tables seated: 165. per-
sons, and there were 80‘thure who had
to wait for the second table.
Mr. Boyce said-he was proud of the
reception that had been given him, and
well he might be, for sach a banquet
was never before. given in. Roseland, or
probably any'other town of the size.
The banquet was prepared by the
| Hoffman house, and was all right, con-
sidering that only two, days were al-
lowed in preparing it. ”
The toastmaster of the evening was J.
McLean, president of ,the Rossland
trades & labor council.
To his right sat Mr. Boyce, the guest

NINE NEGROES KILLED.

Wives and Chitdran Hoan and Scream on the
Scene of Blood.

Aqnanra, Ga., March 16.—A Special
from Palmetto, Ga., says’ nine negroes
charged with arson were shot down by a
mob at 8 o'clock this moiming. No far-
farther particulara are known yet.

Paumetto, Ga., Merch 16,—Citizens
are patrolling the main street of. the
town and dispersing.orcasional groups
of muttering negroes, who seem to be
determined to’get some sort. of revenge
for the slaughter of nine of their race.
The scene thia afternoon at Johnson’s
warehouse, where the negroes were con-
fined and shot,is revolting and miccreble:

of Savall unless the taxes levied upon
them and 9. contingent of soldiera for -
the support of Mataafa were sent, the
British consul visited Savall on the Brit-
ish cruiser Porpoise, and threatened to
shell the villages of Mataafa’s peeple if
the peace were diaturbed.

The’ British and American 5 consula
have issued ‘proclamations denying the
rumors jn circulation to the effect that
Mataafathad been recognized as king
and threatening strong action if the pro-
visional government interfered with loy-
alists.

The German consul refused to join
with the British and American repre-
resentatives, gnd issued a proclamation

and@deaying that there has heen any ine
terference by the Malietoa. He added
to this document an extraordinary para-
graph expressing the hope that the pro-
visional government ‘would be able to
encounter. the. danger caused.“ anew: to.
the peace of the country and the ‘peace -
of the inhabitants by the English and
American proclamation.”

This put more heart into the rebels,
and large numbers of armed warriors are.
gathering.

‘The United States cruiser Philadel-
phia, Admiral Kautz, commander, has
arrived here, and the admiral has’ held
extended consultations with the various
consuls, Chief justice Chambers and
Captain Turdee of the Porpoise.
