THURSDAY EVENING, Dec. 30.

The licenced liquor dealers of Rose-

the candidates for mayor, at least, and
see if they cen ascertain what they may

The candidates would, no doubt, like
to avoid this question, but they will not

Canada Has a Free Hand.
London, Dec. 28.—Lord Salisbury, the
premier, has written to United States
Ambassador Hay in response to Amer-
ica’s latest proposals i in the Behring sea
controversy, which requested that Great
Britain should enter into,an sgreement
with the United States, Russia and Ja-
pan to stop sealing. Great Britain de-
clines to enter into such an agreement.
Lord Selisbury says in substance he has

d with the Canadian gov-
ernment, which has the foremost inte-
est in the sealing question, and that
Canada is unwilling to become a party
to such an agreement as is proposed by
set United States.

Salisbury, whose interest is but slight,

THE NORTHPORT SHELTER

Manager James Breen Says it will be
Blown in by the Fifteenth
of January.

WILL BUY OTHER ROSSLAND ORES

It will be a Godsend to the Ore Pro-
ducers of the Trail Creek
Distriet.

James Breen, who built the Le Roi
smelter at Northport, came in last even-
ing and returned on the noon train to-
day. He was here on business and toa
Record reporter, said: ‘The smelter is
finished and is getting ready to blow in
between the tenth and fifteenth of next
month. We will start to receive ore
next Monday. We will buy all of the
Rossland ore that we can get and will
make the mine owners a rate 20 they
cannot afford to ship elsewhere. We
desire ore carrying a large per cent in
copper and will make extra good terms
for that clase.”

“We have two furnaces, each witha
capacity of 150 tons per day. Only one
of them will be started at first. The
smelter will be run on a strictly busi-
ness basis, and will be a success. The
mine of thie district will have occasion
to congratulate themselves upon the
construction and operation ot the North-
port smelter.”

CENTER WARD TOO HOT.

Candidates for Aldermen Seeking Outside
Wards for Success.

The second ward of the city is getting
too hot for some of the candidates for
aldermen and they are seeking @ con-
stituency in the outside wards. J. 8.
Clute now thinks he will stand in the
third ward instead of the second, and
J.¥. McCree witl, itches ,
run in the first ward. —

This will leave the slate about
follows—First ward: Hector McPherson,
J. B. Johneon, J. H. Raymer and J. F.
McCrae. Second ward: J. F. Ritchie.
Edward Hewitt, with probably Dr. Red-
dick, Waterson and Rolt. Third ward:
Ross Thompson and J. 8. Clute.

A party opposed to Ed. Hewitt said to
a Record man: ‘‘Hewitt cannot qualify.
Ifhe is elected immediate legal steps
will be taken to keep him from taking a
seat in the council.”

would not be justified in acceding to the

proposal. Lord Salisbary’s answer em-
phssizes the policy of England not to
Taterfere in Canada’s foreign relations.
This dictum of Salisbury’s leads to the
query: What will be the next move of
those who are interested in the sealing
business in the United States? ..

UTTERED A FALSE CHECK.

A. Hespler Wanted for Doing H. H. Smith
out of Thirty Dollars.

Last evening H. H. Smith swore out a
wav-ant for the arrest of A. Hespler for
whom he cashed # $380 check with no
money in the bank to pay it.

Today a telegram was received from
Nelson stating that Hespler was in jail
there serving a ten month term.

He will probably be brought here for
trial after his term is out at Nelson.

J. G. Fitzgerald, manager of the Trail
amelter, HX the City on on business.

8 o’clock sharp.

fome rousing addresses will be given
by well known speakers, and all who are
interested in Mr. Wallace’s candidature
should make an effort to rally round his
standard on this occasion.
