HAVANA, March 1«.-— Under lowering skies and a heavy sea. the old battle- ship Maine, resurrected after 14 years burial in Havana harbor, today plunged, with her oolora flying, to her everlast- inir rest 600 fathoms deep in the. waters of the Gulf. The sinking of the Iiulk was carried out precisely as planned, marking the end of tho work begun more than a year and a half ago.

After impressive ceremonies, the bodies of the dead were taken aboard the armored cruiser North Carolina. Minute guns were fired by the North Carolina and the scout cruiser Birming- ham and the batteries of Cabanas fort- ress until the ships cleared the har- bor.

Her decks deep with flowers and palms and an ensign floating from the Jury mast where the mainmast former- ly stood, the Maine put to sea on her last voyage. On the deck stood Oapt. O'Brien, famous as "Dynamite Johnny," sklpp«r of the fllabusterlng sihip Daunt- less, and three friends, acting as the Maine's last pilot. As the wreck passed the American squadron, the crews man- ned tho rails, the marines presented arms, and the bandsmen on the quarter deck played the national anthem, while the minute guns boomed a requl<?m.

The arranK^ements of the sinking con- sisted of numerous valves in the bot- tom of the hulk and the large sluices in the bulkhead, which with all the doors In the two permanent bulkheads rcnmlning open. For ten minutes no change wiih visible In the hulk which pitched heavily as the roller* struck her. Then she began sinking at the bulk- head. The stern rose, and In a few sec- onds the hulk waa almost vertical, show- ing first the propellers and then the full keel. The next moment there was ;i splash of blue and white, as the en- sign flying from the mast struck the

the decks were blown up by tha air I^eseure and the Maine eank down leaving the flowers on the surface of the sea. Whistle blants from tha whole fleet were the only salute.

It would seem in viewing the glorious variety of new fabrics, new color tones, new designs and new trimming devices provided, that the designers had personally consulted hundreds of the best in- formed women of fashion regarding their prefer- ences. Every woman may find here an individu-

ally pleasing suit, coat or dress.

No woman who is planning her spring ward- robe should miss profiting by . "Campbell's" re- markable values in every department. The one thing we regret is that we cannot show the gar- ments themselves in this advertisement, so that everyone might see the ma.«?terliness of the design- ing- and tailoring, the little style touches that give to every individual garment — a most magnetic in- dividuality.

' A KAWVACTtmnro osxrrBB

On page 2 of the Magazine Section of the Colonist this morning we publish aome information tending to show that Victoria may with every reason look forward to becoming a manufacturing centre. The data relative to the num- ber of factories already established In the city l8 very Interestins and v.-ilu- able. The list was compiled from official sources, and we fancy the showing made will prove somewhat of a revelation to most of our readers. iCo one will dispute, of oounoa. that at

as Ml. D. «. Ker. Mr. H. (J. WlUan. Mr. It. P. Rithet and others by the score. We turn to the advertising col- umns of the ' '"" ••«'»<^ there announce ^"*- ''^'t'' the advertiH»rH liavc iu thv I'uiure of taie city. Jjut a«alnst this we find in the editorial columns the etatement that this Is all "a shallow and hypocrllcal

delusion/*'^ ;■'• /■'■■■.,

It Is xwtdlfflcult to fancy the anger of the cltUiena it they should read Ji>. a Vancouver paper that "all talk about terminal facilities (at Victoria) la the Bhallowe«t and most hypocritical delu- sion." Public action would be taken to denounce j»o ylie a slander on this city. K^atateniung Investor should reach VMio^ver front the HSwt and ■houtd read aocli a atatement to <>»e ot tha papers of «bat city. b« mifht healtat* Bbout coming to Victoria where the people are Indulging in "the, HbaJloweet and moat hypocritical delusion." How much more would he be likely to be iniluenced by such a statement appear- ln« m the columjis of a Victoria paper_ How could a stranger know that the publication of ■ucOi a slander on the city was Inspired solely by a bitter hatred of the provincial Premier, who is the representative of this city

THXJ ' 0A3SPAZOn

AnotlKi- day has pa».sed and the i.ib- errtl organ has not been able to dlsoover a word of commendation to aay In favor of the two Liberal oandldaies for this lily. And yet Messrs. BrtSwster and

the present time Victoria i.s primarily and essentially a residential centre; and until very recently It would have evoked dissent in some quarters to sug- gest that wo should aim to become a great manufacturing centre. But the situation has changed to such an ex- tent, in almost every factor affecting the future of this section of Vancou- ver Island, that our former notions of the desUny of the city have to be re- vised. No one now disputes that the Opening of the Panama Canal will in' ftself usher In a ?ievv era for the cltj-; tto one disputes that we shall before Very long have direct connection with the Mainland: no one disputes that j^ritbin a few years the whole of the magnificent territory of Vancouver Is- land will be made accessible by great arteries of transportation. This being so, It is clear that Victoria may look ^forward with the utmost confidence to ^owtb along lines which differ from i^tiose applying %o the expansion of a g»9rely residential city. We shall have jit our command an abundance of raw .i'esources: we shall have splendid ' transportatloik facilities, and besides iavlng a horte market which win be instantly wiaenlng. we shall have great opportunities for trade with the millions of Asia. Then there Is one other factor in the situation today vrhicb was non-existent a short thne ago. and which places a further big advantage with us in striving to build up local industries— and this is cheap Electric power in abundance. Now that Jordan Blver has been harnessed through the entwprlse of the B. C. iBectric Railway Company, the city is placed on an eQuallty "with all other big manufacturing centres on the con- tinent in respect to one df the prime necessities in all tndiistriuil enterprises, cheap power. !»*»»» connection we beg to direct the «4t«ntIon of the var- ious-wWlo tooOlw IB the «?lty to the f^ltfliiKlfii prei* aisii«i««i' which ap- peared In * feWM t«H»« «« «!»• Toron- to GI(A«:

norao good citizens. At the request of the local biheirtls Mr. Brewster abaaidoned his former constituency, where he might have had a chance for election, and offered for foregone defeat In Victoria. Mr. Elliott has entered the political arena at th# aamo request, although he must realize tliat his chance of success is nil. Under Xhese circumstances It would not have been unreasonable if the Liberal organ could have found something to say in t^ieir favor. So far from having doae so. it represents these gemtlemeii as being attacked by the Colonist. The only thing which tite Colonist has said which co«ld be con- sidered as a reflection upon Messrs. Brewster and Elliott Is the »»u?gestlon that the Liberal organ Is their organ. We are not sure that they might very properly object to this, and we only await their repudiation of any of the prgen'a utterances to withdraw our statement and make a flttiftg apologj". We are alleged to have stated that the liiberalB are opposed to the bridg- ing of Seymour Narrows, but we -have not done so We have been Impressed by the fact that, while 'the ;, Provincial Liberal Convention declared In favor of this, the Liberal candidates In this city avoided all reference to It fcn their pro- gramme. We are also impressed by the fact that they have not yet discovered a way of repudiating the allegation of their organ that the anticipated results ■of tho construction of such a bridge are "the shallowest and most hypocritical delusion."

siie is a daughter of thi West, who is able to express West- ern optimism and energy with her magic bow. The Women's Canadian club and the Ladles' Musical club are to entertain Miss Parlow at lunch on Wednesday next. In so doing they arc only following the example. In the only way open to them, set by the late Kl'ng, by Her Majesty Queen Alexandra, by the Queen of Norw»y and Other Euro- pean royalties.

grhe Colonist contains this morning over 4100 IncStes of advertisins. How i8 that for a community that is labor- ing under "the shHllowfol and most hy- pocritical delusion"? This Is tho record amount of advertising ever carried In the regular Issue of a Victoria daiiy newspaper.

The tour of the Premier and Attorney- Oeiferat seems to have been In the na- turs of -a triumphal march through the province. Evidence of the popularity of the administration is too manifold to be misunderstood. Mr. McBrtde seenM ceiw tain to ftnd himself in the next House with at least as strong a support as he had In the last 'Mbtwe. We do niiit care to lAduige in prophecy, and shalll only say that from present Indications not a single Liberal has a chance of election. ^

We print this morning an Interesting letter In respect to the proposed Infan- try reglmemt. There Is no doubt at all about the timeliness of the movement to organiafe the new «orps, and we fancy that, when the elecUon is over, and peo- ' pl« have more Ume to think about It, the project will take a very practical form.

Vft rtmlly ought to have^ n iitiong force here, that la iiiileaa we are pre- pared to allow ourselve* to be overrim by the Arst enemy that cbotlMik-to at- tack ua We have an excellittt jivtUlery

The enemy of the city, otherwise the ini-al Libera) organ, wrigglea badly on the hook, which it prep«rcil for quite another purpose; but It can wriggle through a hundred issues without get- ting Itself clear from the fact that it said with all dellberateness that "all talk about terminal f*cllltle« for great transcontinental railways Is the shallow- est and most hypocritical delusion." TJjjls statement was put forward sev- eral days ago and It ha.'* -not been wlth- .irawn nor has any atteippt been made ,, explain it away. The worst enemy of the city elsewhere could not devise a more injurious etatement; he could not more cruelly denounce the asplra- tions of every progressive citlsen. The 111 legation Is e direct slap in the faxie 1,1 rvery man who Is laboring to pro- tlic welfare of the city. It is a i.ularatlon that such orRttniiiations as , T,, jMiiril (if Trnilo ■ an.I thr

The Colonist is accused of making jb. false statement concerning Mr. Brew- ster and the Public Accounts Com- mittee. We wW that he, Mr. Willlaijui and Mr. Hawthornthwalte were mem- bers of the Committee. This state- ment was made on nyhat appeared to be good authortty. If It Is Incorrect we withdraw It and express our re- gret, to Mr. Brewster. We have not on hand at present the official list of the committees and therefore are un- able to make the correction more ex- plicitly, but shall take occasion to look the matter up.

It is a notable thing that March of all the moQths of the year should be one of severe weather. The vernal equinox occurs In this month and the corresponding autumnal period occurs In September. On the 21st instant the Sun will "cross the line." as the say- ing Is, and it will cross it again on September 21st. Why Is it that while September la almost alwaya balmy, March is given to coming or going: out as a Hon. and is apt to be ungentle all through Its thirty-one days? Perhaps the explanation is that whereas in Scp- ti^mhrr fhf> r»iimmer is bidding \i» xntjA-

effect hiAi Mr. Hofeombe liljHW. M.P for King's Lynn,, had bMtr^'jltinty of corrupt practices. A petition, against him, cfharging such practices, . having 'been dismissed l>efore Mr. Martin made the speech in question, Mr. Ingleby sued for damages. Sir Edward Clarke, who appeared for' Mr. Martin, gave the fol- lowing explanation which was accepted by the plaintiff: "Mr. Martin was • not only a member of Parliament but also a King's Counsel for the Dominion of C^uiada,' aitu lie was onxlous th.tt h'.s counsel should make It perfectly clear that he did not' make, and had never In- temlcil to make, any imputation against Mr. Ingleby. As soon as this matter arose Mr. Martin wrote a letter, In which he stated that to Mr. ingleby; but, at the lime, he (Sir Edward

Clarke) must aumit that the words he had admitted using In the speech un- der consideration were words which car- ried with them, and would naturally have carried with thefli, the Imputation which Mr. Martin did not Intignd at the Ume he. used them. Mr, Martin did not admit that the report which appear- ed in the newspaper, and which was set out In the statement of claim,_ was an accurate report of what he nk\d; but still, havlivg regard to thf words which lie ailmllted usln,.

If you stopped to consider the claims made for "this" and "that" piano you get into a maze of illogical contradictions, and the mere display of printer's ink.

HAYNES' BROS. PIANO

We pin our faith to the HAYNES Piano knowing full well that there is. not a better piano built in North, America. Since the establishment of the makers (1851). their piano has gained fame wherever it has been heard. You'll not be surprised at this if you hear it. It possesses a range of sound from the soft mellow to the sonorous and brilliant.

Easy payments if desired.

OPPOSITION CANDIDATE-V ADDRESS

To the Klectors of Vlctorid

In accepting the noniTnatr.i, < i'-

resent the Liberal party In thp City of Victoria at this provincial election, wo wish to lay before the electors the following statement of our political principles:

We are In entire accord v. I form of the Liberals of ti> bla, adopti con-

vention Mui„.. i. ..;^^, -i.u ^_. ..cular-

1. We believe In bringing all depart- ments of municipal government under dii . i rol of the mayor and council ; an : the abolition of the police coniatltialon and board of licensing com- mlHBluners, or their being constituted elective bodies, la an imperative public necessty.

2. We believe In extending the right of franchise to women; and are impress- ed with the especial neceaaity of BO am- ending the Municipal Act aa to allow women jfull right of tranchlae at all ntWQtcipai tfMUcHM.

, 3. We beli*v*, In the at>ttolute prohtbl* tion of ttoe Uquor tratflo: and u • maana towards that end we beUev« In tbe Adoption of UiaJacal, option, itollcy and of making its adoption dependent only on a straight majority vote of the people affected.

i. We believe that the appointment of road bosses and all government offi- cials entrusted with the expenditure of public money should be made regard'* less of politics.

6. We believe In the necessity of adopting a policy of giving greater pub- licity to the details of enpendltures of public funds.

6. We believe In a revision of the land laws so as to safeguard the pub- lic Interest? and to promote settle- ment.

7. We believe In making collection of workmen's compensation for accidents and Injuries collectible without Ittiga^ tlon; and in the shortest possible time; and

The above is an niustration of a 7 h;>. Iweavy duty REGAL launch engine. ,r

Remember— Uic REGAL keeps going when tJthcrs keep stopping. '

We have other h. p. in both medium and heavy duty types.

We are Sole Agents.

un Isolation hospital and that there Is no luck of doctors and nurses for the fkk little folk. We take jneastirrs to provent the spread of Infectious dls- »ases l-> t tco cftin, we allow the moral ccnae'on to le a menace to our own families. The Children's Aid Society has excellent officers and the Petentlon Home is In good .hands. But the work Of support Is left to a very email num- ber of busy men and women. There must be in this city thousands of peo- ple who would. If appealed to. be wil- ling to give the small sum that Is ne- cessary to carry on the work of re- clamation and salvation of the chil- dren. Many women could. If they would, toke time to assist In this work. There IS much that real lovers of children could do to' strengthen the hands of the matron '>f th* home and of the detention ofHcer. Children appreciate the kindness an.! (sympathy of tfcolr Alders and no one ran tell how much good k'nd worda and looks and thought- j;ul deede can do. This work ought . not to be left to eiderly men and wo- men and to those who are employed by the society. Has Victoria no big broth- ers "and 8la*r.s who will help the chU- drevi out on suspended sentence or who are beginning life again after their pun- ishment la ^ver, to keep In the right path? Are i^ifre no homes to w^iichthe young wanderers can be invited, and where they may be cheered and helped on their way It la <Jttlte tmie t«at the number of neglected and of bad ohll-- dren In Victoria Is not large, hut that Is all the more reason why they should be taken care ot. The responsibility for Mils rt«t8 on all who have the time and opportunity for personal service, as ^ell as on those who can contribute of their means to the furtherance of the work carried on by the Children's Aid 'Society.,

niKht the 15tli March. The report of the .\udltor showing a substantlai balance to the credit of the Comjtany was adopt- ed. It Is expected that drilling opera- tions will commence in July, the con- tract having been let for three wells. The shareholders, who are enthusiastic over the reports received from expbris, are confident that before the next an- nual meeting .the Company will be pro- ducing oil in quantities. *

In spots the tiops of England played real Old Country football in their match against the James Bay lads at Oak (Bay yesterday afternoon. These occasional sprints won the match for them. The score was 2-1. — Only in the seeond tiaUi during the

five or ten minutes which gave "the Sons" the couple of points that won, did they distinctly outclass the boys In blue and white. Still they had the J. B. A. A. defence so completely at 8^ in these attacks that the victory may fairly be considefjed well deserved.

However the Jamea 'Bay players and their supporters are entitled to what consolation there is in the reflection that they had hard luck. In the open< Ing peHod. without a doubt, they were away ahead of their opponents. The two fuIl-bA^ks played Mt^iy»ttte halves fed their forwards nicely, but it was there that Sai|n)«l .Lt^llinei'a prptegeg fell by th9 «9J|F«ii^ Try as they would they coulda'isiBtlJie range gf the net Dakers wMr'%e only mao ; vlM , liiade creditable iW^ t ;jU> puncturgf f^fineeh- For the most fHfi.

After the interval there was another period during which it was all the Bays. They didn't appenr to have any j^ffioUlty In outplaying "The Sons'* on.

. From a locel standpoint the British Columbia League hockey match, which was played between Victoria and Van- couver teams yesterday afternoon, was a disappointment. It was not so alto- gether because th« lelaaderA lotil by « score of 4-1, ,but owing.to the lack of Interest showh both by players and public. Only nine men were prepared to take the field when the whistle blew and they went on with the contest rather than allow the visitors to go away without aonie play after their trip. It was scarcely fair to Vancouver and cer- tainly was not a credit to the majority of tlie Victoria Hockey dub's members.

The English flat racing season opens in a few days and on the 26th Instant the Lincolnshire Handicap is due for decision.

Haval SarvlM Aet Mr Borden's succinct answers to Mr. Mondou's enquiries should put the' quM- tion at rest as to whether the gcvarn- roent intend to repeal the Naval Ser- vice Act. Mr. Borden says that they do. In thif connection, he uses the word "undoubtedly." The act Is - left In force only because It Is regarded as a convenient means for keeping the exlBtlns fishery protection Sfrylce— and possibly tLe training ships — goln^. n Without asking ourselves wl»eU»«r tUlS is the Vest way to do a necessary thins, we can. at least — If we are fair — see In it a reason for not repealing that law Just now,, combined with a pledge that that law will be repealed Just as soon as the gcyemment Is ready with a sub- stitute. There Is only one possibility which could make the temporary reten. tion of the jun seriously objectionable: and that would be tlie chance that It might be used as tti» basia of the poMoy of this new government The premier declares categorically that this will not be done. The act will "undoubtedly" t>e repealed.

aiorrtaon to the Tltni;s. It saya that th,e Irapresentatlves of Japan and Russia have caused much conjecture and un- easiness by their abatenttoA from the congratulatory visttg paid to Tuan by the other members of the Corps Diplo- matique in Peking. The second tele- gram is a replica of a meWiage despatoh- cd from »t. Petersburg to VTadlvostock. It says that Japan's proposals to Great In In connection witli the Chines^ lioation were rejected Incontinently in ]Do\vnlng Street, and the result was to bring Japan and Russia Into mucl' •■loner contact.

Dr. Morrison's mcspage to Ihcs 'rinies, confirms the news received in Tokyo as to the .attitude of the Russlali and Japanese represeiitatlyteB in Peking. No definite explanation has yet been fur- nished 48 to the reason of this abstin- ence on the part of the two representa- tives, but wihen the news was first re- ceived In Tokyo our readers will re- member that the attitude of Mr. Ijuln and his Rnsalan colleague was approved inasmuch as no international recognition had yet been extended to the Provincial Chlne.so Government. Still it cannot be supposed that any false step was taken in a matter of such Importance by tihe representatives of the foreign powers, and we must only trust to time for an accurate analysis of the event. As for the alleg<»d weakening of tlie Anglo-Jap- nnese Alliance, It may be dlAml«S>^d, we venture to think t- "i nnre chimera. — Japan Dally Mail

With tli« above words Lillian Russel), an unqticstioncd authority on feminine attractiveness, places no uncertain value on nice hair as a beauty asset. Unkempt, uncared-for hair not only cannot be attractive, but, is actually ^ disgrace.

But why have ill-kept, untidy hair'? By devoting a few nK)inent.s regularly to brushing and intelligpnt application of NEWBRO'S H'E'RP^CIDE, the hair n>ay be- made to yield wonderful returns in increased personal charm.

Dandruff, which is due to a germ or microbe, is the direct caii.se of more hair trouble than anything else. _ The hair be- comes thin, harsh, uneven and falls out in quantities. It looks dead and lifeless ; there is no luster. The scalp itches.

IIERPICIDK win destroy this dandruff germ that Is causing all the trouble, cleans the acalp, gives the hair life, snap and luxuriance. The lialr stopa cominff out, the itching ceaRes almost at once and withal there is a moot ffratifylng aense of cleanliness.

To the woman who wlshen to make the moat of (nature's gifts by liav- iiifj fluffy, beautiful hair, XRWBHOV^l HERPICIDK Is a toilet necessity. 11 Is pxaulsltely perfumed and is a dcllphtful liHtr-dres.ilngr.
