tunity to sell the Red’ River Valley
railroad to the Northern Pacific at
a loss.

Mr. Curtis in his reply, renewed
his allegiance to Mr. Martin and his
platform, He then insinuated that
Governor Mackintosh now had
nothing to say about the Chinese
and went on to defend Martin's
policy of re-enacting the disallowed
laws. He defended’ Mr. Martin's
record in connection with the C. P.
R. and on the eight-hour question,
and said that Messrs. Smith and
Clute would not have been here to
settle the labor difficulty but for
himself. He repeated his old story
about the saving in. freight to
mine-owners that sould be effect ed
by a government railroad,and aga‘n
dilated on the earnings of Austra-
lian government railroads. He
tried to explain his speech on how
men could afford to work cheaper
if railroad rates were reduced.
Governor-Mackintosh in closing,
reiterated his opposition to Chinese
and Japanese labor and immigra-
tion; and declared that he believed
in the eight-hour law and would not
vote for its repeal. He denied that
he had bought the Miner or had
any interest in it.

‘The Kootena:

John Lucas, formerly steward at

GLENCOE IS CAPTURED

Buller Re-occupies the Scene of
White’s Battle---Another Act

of Boer T

By Associated Preas,
London, May 16.—The most im-
portant development in today’s war
news is the statement cabled from
Capetown: announcing that the Boer.
At dvised the Tr u
to surrender, if defeated at the Vaal.
This
vouched for on good authority, and

The occupation of ‘Glencoe was
merely a logical sequel of General
Buller’s advance and the Boers’ re-
tiring movements. As usual, the
Boers are reported to be flying pre-
cipitately, but also “as usual; the
accounts add that their transports
and guns were removed in safety.

Nothing further has been heard
from and itis r bl

to suppose that the conditions there |
are unchanged. The prolongation
of the siege only intensifies Great
Britain's anxiety to hear of its re-
lief. :

Portugal Befolces With Britain

About 1100. more troops have

The governor of Beira, during a
speech at-a dinner to the yeomanry,
said:

“Friends as.we have alway ays been
of England, we never could have
realized the magnificent unity of the
Anglo-Saxon race without such an
object lesson. Realizing this, Por-
tugal not only congratulates her
ancient ally, but rejoices with it, as
the strengthening of a friend is the
strengthening of ourselves.”

FIRE HALL PLANS

Question Whether the Library Should

be in the Same Building.

ALDERMAN M'RAE’S VIEWS

Ho Would Put the Library on the Second

Floor of the Fire Hall and Erect a More

_ Ornate Building—The Plans as Submitted

by Mr. Honeyman.

Plans for the new. fire hall and
public library were submitted to the >
city council by J. J. Honeyman, the
architect, last evening, and. werethe <>
subject of some discussion. Though -
no definite action was taken, Alder-
man McRae expressed the opinion
that instead of making an annex to

the fire hall to accommodate the”
lihrary, space should be provided om
the second floor of the fire hall and
the money thus saved should be.ex-
pended in the erection of a more
ornate building. The plans provide.
simply fora plain brick structure,
estimated to cost about $12,000.
According to the plans,’ the fire
hall would be two stories high, with

a frontage of Go feet on First avenue
and 57 feet on Lincoln street, with

a one-story annex. on the west, 24
feet, ginches by 57 feet,, tor the
library. A tower on the soutli east
corner is provided for drying hose.
The first door to the west is.for the
hose cart?the centre door for the
chemical engine and the west door
for the hook and ladder truck, each
piece cf this apparatus occupying a
space behind its own door, -while
there would be a stall for two horses | -
behind each of them. Behind the
stails is a passageway: and- a:roem—
for hay and fodder, witha rear‘doo:
for cleaning the stable. | A battery:
