H, MeoNeill who was prominently identified with the work of the com- mittee that represented Rossland at Victoria in the interests of the in- corporation bill returned last evening with Colonel Scott. Speaking of. the work acco.anlished at Victoria Mr. McNeill said this morning: “I re- ceived'a telegram from Mr. Hume, M.P.P., for South Kontenoy last nigit informing me that the act in- corporating Rossland passed its third reading. Mr. Scott and myself upon leaving Victoria last Thursday even- ing, were assured that the act would be passed at the earliest possible moment and I was nut surprised mat- ters turned out as they did.” ‘*What will be done now,” he was asked. “Tbe next step after the lientenant- governor has asasented to the act will be the issuing of an order in council in which a number of details neces- sary will be provided for. The order in council will-name the returning officer and fix the date of election. “I hardly think it necessary to state,” continued Mr. McNeill, “that the act under which Rossland is in- corporated is not a special charter such as some of the cities en the coast are working under. The only special features are those providing for Ross- land and other towns, obtaining in- corporation under the general act in a manner more speedy than the general act provides.
