Desvocux Thinks Great Britain Should Help the United States, London, March 8—Sir George William Desvoeux, formerly governor of the Ba- hama Islands and more recently govern- orof Hongkong, in an interview today on the far eastern crisis, sald Great Bri- tain ought immediately to seize the op- portunity of expressing cordial sympa- thy wath the United States in her efforts to secure autonomy for Cuba and to ex- press the determination of Great Britain to aid the United States with her fleet against any attack upon her coast. This, Sir George added, would prevent war with Spain and would make general Bounnary Mines. Mr, Frank Watson came in from Spo kane last night on his way to the Slocan country to look after the Arlington mine of which he was elected manager at the annual meeting held in Spokane last Wednesday. Mr. Watson intends to put on a num- ber or extra men at once building roads and preparing to ship the oreas fast as itcan be handled. His policy, he says, is to proceed with the sinking of the shaft and algo to continue the drift work along the ledge already exposed in the tunnel. Mr. Watson believes that by the time the snow is off he will have enough ore out to make the Arlington a cons‘ant shipper, Good Word for Rossland.

At a meeting of the Nelson city coun- cil Jast Monday evening the mayor an- nounced that he had a resolution which he wished to submit to the council. It was in favor of the Corbin charter for the Boundary creek railway. Mr. Corbin, he said, asked no land grant and in hel- ping him out Neleon would be doing for that section what they asked to be done for th six years ago — secure the the British g has conceded the claim of the United States that the three marine leagues should be measured from the shore of the mainland, and should proceed along the shores of the inlets, which are thus recognized ag arme of the ocean and not ag rivers. : The contention of the British and Canadian governments was that the three marine league limit should begin on the ocesnward side of the islands and that the delimitating line should be run across the inlets and not follow the configurations of the shore. These in- leta are numerous and extend into the mainland a great distance, and the deci- sion therefore is of much importance to the United States. The United States has agreed to the British retaining the boundary on the limit of Chilcoot pass and the White pass, because in the Russo-British agree- ment of 1825 the line of demarkation was fixed as one running along the tops of the mountains. The decision, while not entirely unex- pected by the cabinet, is regarded with disfavor. It was understood that the British government was irritated at the can now travel from to St. Paul for $10.

A private telegram received from the Rossland delegation at Victoria states that the members will arrive here tonight railway competition. Alderman Teetzel thought that if the resolution emanated from the people of Grand Forks or the Boundary creek country they might entertain it, but as it came from Mr. Corbin he did not see that that gentleman was entitled to much of their sympathy. Alderman Hillyer thought that as it cost nothing they might adopt the pe- tition. Alderman Teetzel was of the opinion thatthe Boundary creek people under- stood their needs, and as they did not ask Nelson to back them up in this mat- ter, the council should not interfere on Mr. Corbin’s behalf—whoee intereste were those of Mr. Corbin every time. The council resolved to adopt the peti- tion, the mayor remarking that Mr. Corbin did not ask any land grant. Tho Ice Carnival.
