VICTORIA, B. C, April 10. In reply to representatives of the British Columbia Northern & Mackenzie Valley Hallway Company, who asked if the British Col umbia government would supplement the Dominion government's subsidy. Premier McBride replied that if the company would deposit a guarantee forfeit fund of $2f000 to Insure the building of the rail way -within a specified time, his govern ment would make the British Columbia Northern & Mackenzie Valley Railway project the third of the railway measures to be dealt with at a special Summer ses sion of the Legislature next June, when a suitable subsidy in proportion to that granted by the Dominion government will be passed. The company's agonts telegraphed Jules Simon & Co., of,, Chicago, agents for Speyer & Co., of New York, London and Paris, asking if this were agreeable to the principals.

ICE JAMS IN ST. LAWRENCE. Montreal Suburbs Are Flooded to the Second Story. MONTREAL, April 10. Montreal Is ex periencing a serious flood. Early today a large quantity of ice came down from Lake St Louis and jammed up against the Victoria bridge. In a few minutes the water began to rise and in a short time it had reached the top of the dyke built after the last great flood and which had been up to that time a sufficient pro tection. In a short time it became possible to navigate all that portion of Verdun In the neighborhood of the Queen's Park with boats. All the teams that could bo pressed into service were engaged In strengthening and raising the dyke. At C o'clock the water had reached a depth of six feet on the streets. Tonight it is falling but the danger Is by no means over, as there is more ice to come down. Three thousand people in the village of Verdun are tonight living in the upper stories of their houses, while several thousand more, who reside In the part of the city known as Point St. Charles, are in danger. N La Prairie, which is situated opposite Verdun, was flooded at an early hour today, and four houses situated on the river front -were carried off their founda tions by the Ice. Memphis Levees Withstand Waters. MEMPHIS. April lO.-Tho Mississippi River at this city tonight has come to a stand after rising three-tenths of a foot since Saturday night It is predicted that the water will begin to recede tomorrow. Thus far all levees In the Memphis territory have withstood the overflow, and it is thought that when the water begins to recede all danger .will be over. Mississippi Tears Out Levee. ROLLING FORK, Miss., April 10.

There wore 1200 people present at today's religious exercises of tho annual conference of tho Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The day was given up entirely to preaching and religious ex ercises, the sermons being delivered by President Joseph Smith in the morning, Apostle Herman C. Smith ip the after noon and Bichard C. Evans, of London. in the evening. The principal sermon was by President Joseph Smith. The address was an able revlow of Mormon history cf recent years and a denial of the charge that the Book of Mormon teaches or advocates polyg amy. The speaker maintained that the contrary was the case, that the Book of Mormon taught with the Bible, that one husband should have one wife and one wlfo one husband. President Smith said that tho members of tho Reorgan ized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints were firm believers in the laws of God and of his guidance of tho affairs of this country, and were there fore loyal citizens because of their ad herence to tho teachings of God. Another able address was of Apostle Herman C. Smith, of Lamonl, Ia, who is well known as an orator. Many persons were deeply affected by Apostle Smlth'sl eloquent address, and shed tears. He spoke to the text: "I am come, that thou might have life and have it more abundantly." Besides tho sermons there wero prayer meetings and Sunday-school exercises. Deep interest is manifested in the pro ceedings of the conference and the at tendance Is Increasing, already many more delegates being present than was expect ed. The conference will continue proba- DJy unui next Thursday. IN BOTTLES Merer in Balk.

NEWYORKER'SSTOGKISUP Ukase of the South the Death Knell of Hearst's Hopes. MILES' BOOM IS FLATTENED How a Chicago Alderman Bought His Seat With a Wagonload of Flow- ersBunyan's Pilgrim Not a True Type of Christian. CHICAGO, April 10. (Special.) Now that the Democracy of the "West sees an opportunity to line up for Judge Parker, of New York, the unanimity with which the "unterrllled" are leaping from the Hearst wagon and attaching themsolvos to the Parker boom must cause the editor to gnash his teeth and say things that would not look well In print. "When the Iroquois Club of this city first planned its Jefferson day banquet. It was tho belief that General Nelson A. Miles would be boomed for the Demo cratic nomination. But political events have moved with great rapidity since then. John P. Hopkins, chairman of the Illinois Democratic State Central Committee, journeyed to the Bast and folt tho political pulse. Then he hast ened back and counseled the Democracy to secure advantageous positions in the Parker bandwagon without the least de lay. Up to this time the Hearst movement had experienced smooth sailing, but the Harrison and Hopkins factions immedi ately got together and will rally around the Parker banner. All sections of the United States will be represented at the Iroquois banquet, and it Is expected the Parker boom in the West will be given great impetus and that the yellow wagon of Hearst will find a resting place in tho ditch. Follow Lead of the South; Democrats of the North and "West keep their cars closely to tho ground to hear what tho indications arc in the Sou.t$ Now that it has been made clear that the South will have none of Hearst, there is an immediate change of atti tudo in the "West. Iowa, for instance, has spread a chilling frost upon tho movement. "Wisconsin has never suc cumbed to the blandishments of the Hearst agents, "and Is now more offish than ever. South Dakota, of course. Is on record for tho Congressman-editor, and it is thought he will get Colorado, California, and, In fact, about all of tho "Western states, -with the exception of Oxogon, will declaro for Hearst. But without tho conservative, decent South, that bul wark of true Americanism, he can make no neauway. waiter wenman, in a recent article diagnosing the political symptoms, said that the South invaria bly put men above money brains above the "barrel." He added that the South had looked Hearst over and flatly decided that ho would not do. Consequently tho action of tho Western states is an empty honor at best. Alderman's Unique Campaign. Peter Reinbcrg, Democratic candidate for Aldorman, set a now pace for politi cians in the matter of conducting a cam paign, and it was by far the most unique in the history of local politics. He la a florist and he literally flooded his ward -with flowers of all descriptions, giving them to the rich and poor alike, putting a crowning piece on his effort to win a seat in the City Council by giving every church In his ward Easter Sunday suffi cient floral decorations to transform them Into greenhouses. On this glad some day he also gave to every voter in the ward whom his agents could reach a carnation for his buttonhole. ' This climax of Mr. Rcinberg's canvass cost him, at a conservative estimate, 55000. It made no difference what the creed of the church, all that was needed to bring a wealth of Easter lilies, wreaths, roses and violets was to ex press tho wish, and, a wagon from the candidate's greenhouses drove up to the door and unloaded a wealth of fragrance and beauty. In all 29 churches thus profited by the aspirations of the florist. In the carnation distribution, Mr. Reln berg had ten wagons and they wore kept busy all of the morning. Heaped high with red and white blooms, the wagons passed along the streets" and bestowed the favors to men, women and children alike. He was elected by a handsome plurality. Bunyan's Pilgrim a Cad. Pilgrim in Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Prog ress" was a religious cad, according to Dr. Albion W. Small, professor of sociology and dean of the graduate schools in the University of Chicago. Professor Small also believes that the character of Pil grim, usually held up to youth as an ideal of Christianity, is not a typo of Christianity at all. "Pilgrim was simply living to save his own dear, littler selfish squl, and ho never tried to help anyone else," Is the way Dr. Small expressed It before a meeting of Baptist ministers the other night. "The pulpit utterance that we hear so often about no man being ablo to be a Christian until he can stand on hl3 own feet and work out his own salvation i3 one of the most unfortunate things ever said from the pulpit This is the sort of man that Pilgrim was, and ho was no hero." This utterance has caused a profound sensation among ministers of the city, and many of them are engaged in wordy conflict, both In tho pulpit and out of it, for and against the doctrine. Mrs. Palmer's Novel Concert. Soldiers wounded on the battlefields of the Russo-Japanese war will be recipi ents of comforts and good cheer a3 the result of Mrs. Potter Palmer's novel concert, which was given this week, and which netted a snug $4500. For the occa sion Mrs. Palmer turned the art gallery In her home Into a concert-room, and for three solid hours rich and poor charitably inclined persons of the city heard a musi cal programme that for excellence prob ably will not be surpassed at a like gath ering ever again in Chicago. Previous to the rendition of the musical programme dinner parties wero given by many of the patronesses of the affair, and as a whole the event was one of the greatest social successes of this season. All has not been clear sailing for Mrs. Palmer in her undertaking, however. "When she first announced her purpose sho encountered strenuous opposition. Mrs. Palmer Is the aunt of the Princess Cantacuzene, of Russia, and many of the Chicagoans who had been counted upon to give aid to the affair politely de clined because they believed the function was for the excluslvebeneflt of the Rus sians and the sympathies of these were with the Japs. Mrs. Palmer then abandoned her cherished plan to hold the affair In the auditorium and decided to transform her own home into a concert hall. The money will bo sent to the Red Cross Societies of the two armies. Chicago Has French Library. The only library outside of France which contains French books exclusively has Just been established In Chicago by Professor Imgres, of the University of Chicago. There are now more than 1000 volumes on the shelves of the new library In the Fine Arts building, and consign ments of new books as they come off the presses are being received from Paris weekly. Contributions for more than $23,000 have been received in aid of the project, the sympathies pf many wealthy Chicagoans havo been enlisted and it Is tho Intention to make this local Institution the central headquarters for a system in which there will be branch libraries in all of the leading cities of tho United States. Jealousy on the part of Frenchmen for tho prominence of Germans in educational matters in America Is primarily responsi ble for the new venture. Germans not long ago established an exclusively Ger man library in tho city and then it was that the French began their movement, with fair prospect that It will surpass the project of the other nation. In aid of the French establishment the Minister of 2tMurlioa In . Par"$ h?s jwl several .hundred official documents to the Chicago institution. Ade's New Play a Success. Chicago has had a chance to pass judg ment on "The Sho-Gun," the Corean comic opera and latest work of George Ade and Gustav Luders, and the verdict is entirely favorable to tho collaborators. The humor Is distinctly of the Ade flavor, the music is, in spots, the kind that clings to tho memory with whistling tendencies, and as a whole It is possibly Luders" best work to date. Mr. Savage has given sittings that are rich In Ori ental splendor and Ihe stage pictures are evoking quite as much applause as the opera itself. The house on the opening night, Mon day, was unusually large, and when Mr. Ade and Mr. Luders appeared for the customary obeisance and speech the re ception given them was of the uproarious kind. The opinion is quite general that "The Sho-Gun" will overshadow "The Sultan of Sulu" and "Peggy from Paris" in popular, favor and clinch the Ade Laudcrs combination as a tried winner. The story of the' plan concerns the ad ventures of an American promoter In a beautiful island lying between Jnpan and Corca. Having made a fortune, he Is in search of ancestors and a title which shall give him social prestige in his native land. He starts out to accomplish his aims by unionizing, capitalizing and otherwise exploiting the Islands and its people, and In this process many funny situations are wrought out. Interwoven through it all are beautiful musical parts and dainty performances by dancing girls. Little's Newest Exploits. While Chicagoans are considerably amused at the new embarrassments of "Dick" Little, the war correspondent who has run amuck the fierce whiskers of the Russian war Generals, they are not much surprised. Little always has had a remarkable faculty of getting Into trouble and gliding out of It as grace fully as an eel, of which he is some what remindful, he is so tall and spare. In fact he about as closely resembles a walking telegraph pole as mortal can. Little's first assignment in Chicago when he came from Bloomington was to write a story of the odors from the stock yards from the viewpoint of the stroller In the down-town streets, and ho did It In such a clever manner that ho at once establlsned himself as a high-class man. The story fairly brimmed over with quaint conceits and Infectious humor, and the following morning he found himself famous. Then tho Spanish-American War came and ho was sent to Cuba. Next followed a trip to the Philippines, where his comaraderle and love of a good joke soon won him a favorite place In the hearts of tho American commanders. He was the hero of a number of exploits half humorous and half heroic while on tho firing une. One day he strolled absont-mlndedly Into the outskirts of a native village andi was halted by an Aguinaldo sentinel. He drew his two re volvers and fired all of the bullets into the air. The Filipino was so surprised he fled, all of the Inhabitants took to the jungle and Little then entered the town and took formal possession. River Flows Both Ways at Once.

BATTLEFIELD IN INTERIOR ThereKouropatkinlstdSlaugh- 'terthe Jap'anese, PLACE HAS- BEEN PICKED OUT Next Summer the Fleet of Admiral Makaroff Is to Sweep the Seas of All Vessels Carrying the Japanese Flag. ST. PETERSBURG. April 10. Tho gen erally'antlcipated attack on Port Arthur did not occur last night, although a tele gram received from Grand Duke Cyril reports that the enemy's ships were sighted on the horizon. It is presumed that the Japanese were warned of the extra, precautions which had been taken,, to guard against surprise. There was no Easter merrymaking at the front. By special dispensation the soldiers and sailors there were relieved of all religious observances on account of the necessities of the military situation. Vice-Admiral MakarofTs torpedo flotilla patrolled the open sea, while the war ships with full steam, up remained out side Port Arthur. Elsewhere throughout the theater of war all is reported quiet A military of ficial In conversation with the Associated Press explained why General Kouropat kln's plan of campaign does not contem plate a heavy reslstanco of the Japanese advance at the Yalu, saying: "Either defeat or victory in a battle there would be disadvantageous to us. If we lost wo would have to fall back through a difficult country. If we won and I say to you jthat Russian strategy Is based on the idea of victory and not defeat success would be fruitless. We couldn't follow It up without exposing th army to too great risks. Where the Japanese Advantage Is.- "On account of the Japanese control of the sea, if wo pursued tho enemy Into the Peninsula of Corea, we would open both flanks to a possible attack from the rear. No, the Japanese must 'coraeon to a point in the interior which, with this end in view, has been selected, where we can follow up a crushing defeat to the bitter end with blow after blow, and seal the fate of the campaign. "Our plans on sea and land will con verge at a time next Summer, when Vlce-Admlral MakarofTs fleet will be re lieved by the arrival of reinforcements. Then, if successful on land, we can clear tho sea of tho enemy, cut his communi cations, and the Japanese In Core'a and Manchuria will then be at our mercy. "The world must not bo impatient. The prelude to thi3 war is not yet finished." It is understood that as the result of General Kouropatkln's visit to Niu Chwang. reinforcements of 100.000 men will be sent forward from Llao Yang. GRATEFUL TO THE RUSSIANS. Japanese Appreciate Honors Given j Body of Commander Hirose. TOKIO. April 10. The body of the offi cer found and 'buried at Port Arthur i3 unquestionably that of Commander Tasko Hirose, who lost his life In the engagement on March 27, when Vlce Admlral Togo made his second attempt to bottle up the port. The description of the uniform tallies with that worn by offi cers of Hlrosc's rank. Tho fact that tho body had been missing is further con firmation of this. Tho government deeply appreciates the action of the Russians in giving the re mains a military funeral, and officers of the Naval Staff have requested the As sociated Press to express their apprecia tion of the Russian courtesy. The fragments of HIrose's body which have been brought here will be given a public funeral, April 13, according to Japanese ceremonial. Commander Hirose Is the greatest Jap anese hero cf the war, and after the con clusion of hostilities it Is planned that an effort will be made to secure the re mains now Interred at Port Arthur and bring them to Japan. RUSSIANS HAVE LEFT COREA. Correspondents Supply No Other Re liable News of Movements. LONDON, April 11. No confirmation has reached London of the various ru mors, most of which came by way of Paris, of land flchtlne, landings by the Japanese troops on "the Llao Tung Pen insula, the capture of Japanese troops by Russians, etc Dispatches from vari ous points agree that the Russians have completely evacuated Cbrea, but beyond this there is little reliable news. A Chefoo dispatch which reached Lon don by way of Rome asserts that the Japanese squadron with 20 steamers was seen making for Port Arthur. The squadron of Admiral Wirenlus left Cherbourg yesterday for the Baltic. On the occasion of Easter the Czar con ferred numerous decorations and promo tions upon navy and army commanders prominent in the war. Marquis Ito, president of the Japanese Privy Council, was given a banquet at Tokio Saturday. He announced the suc cess of his mission in establishing cor dial relations between the Japanese and Corean courts, and said that at his gov ernment's request he had drawn up an J elaborate report on Corean political needs. The Japanese papers ridicule the idea of the Russian Baltic Sea squadron over reaching the Far East, and do not believe that it will ever make the attempt. TYPHOON. STOPS OPERATION.
