NEXT.Steady Progress Being Made Basutos May Rise Against Cape Dutch.Col Brabant Captures Bo^r Position.London March 5.—(Special)—The air of mystery which covers the movements of the main British army in South Africa continues, though what information leaks through indicates that the campaign is being carried on with steady progress, though what Lord Roberts’ pro gramme is remains as deep a mystery as ever.As an incident of the British main objective, which is at last clear ly outlined as being Pietoria, the relief of Mafeking by a force from the South, may be expected any day, as Colonel Plumer’s force on the north seems incapable of accomplishing it.The unexpected activity of the Cape Dutch, and the reported lieklihood of fighting between them and the Ba^mtos, aided by other tribes having a grude against the Boers, is regarded as rather ominous BRITISH CAPTURE BOER POSITION.Dordrecht, Cape Colony, Sunl day, March 4, 9 a.m.—Genera-Braba- t’s color iai division, after a night’s march, is now attacking the Boers in a strong position at La Buschagnes Nek.on the road from Dordrecht to Jamestown.Later—The engagement is pro ceeding with great vigour, and the Boers are gradually retiring before the British she 1 fire from their positions.A heavy rifle fire is being exchange d where the British are engaging the Boers on the right flank.So far the Boers have had no big guns in action.Evening—General Brabant’s advance to day was most satisfactory.After marching and bivouacking over night, the force reached the strong entrenched positions, which they occupi d and now hold, the Boers being on the opposite hill The B iti.-h will remain to night in the captured positions, although the Beers brought two guns into action, and made determined efforts to retake them.The British losses are six killed and eighteen wounded, London, March 5.— General Clement’s force holds Achtertang, and the railway communication to Joubert’s siding will be opened today.The enemy is still in force at Norval's Pont bridge.General Gatacre reports that the number of Boers at Stormberg is daily dimishing.The position is unchanged at Osfontein, except that frequent showers have improved grazing, to the benefit of the horses and the transport animals.FRENCH ENCOUNTERS ENEMY.London, M arch 5—The Morning Post has the following despatch from Osfonttin dated March .'J :— “General French made a reconnaissance today and encountered the enemy in force.They were occupying a table shaped kopje.Shots were exchanged, a Boer gun replying.” A despath to the Times from Osfontein, dated March 2, dilates upon the “increas ing difficulty of telegraphing as the army advances through the enemy’s country.’ BOERS ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.Cape Town, Saaday, March 4.—It is reported that the Boer pnsonars, while on the way from Paardeberg, unbuccess fully attempted to escape from the train.Eleven hundied of Cronje’a men have been placed temporarily on the British steamers Mongolian and Manila in Table Bay.Mr.Cecil Rhodes is here and expects to sail for England Wednesday.GATACRE MEETS OPPOSITION.London, March 3.—General Gatacre made a reconnaissance in force towards Stormberg yesterday.The Boers opposed him with two guns and the British artillery pitched some shells into the Boer laagers.ROBERTS MOVES HIS CAMP.London, March 3—Lord Roberts is at Osfontein, six or eight miles east of Paarrdeberg.faces the re formed Boer army from 5,000 to 6,000 strong.This may be merely s corps of observation, ready to retire on prepared positions.Doubtless it is receiving accretions from the late beseigers of ijadysmith and from other points.Whatever the force may be, Lord Roberts has ample troops to cope with it.Lord Roberts wires to the War Office from Osfontein under date of March 2, 4 15 p.m ., as follows: — *1 have just retuned from paying Kimberley a hurried visit I was much gratified at hading the enthusiasm among the Kimberley people regarding the care of the sick and wounded.All the public buildings have been converted into hospitals, and all the men have been made most comfortable.*1 was struck with the friendlv manner in which the wounded Boers ana our men chatted together upon the experiences of the Campaign.4It iV-ghi d me to see cur soldiers ’haring their ratio is and bissuits with the B'>er prifone^s before they commenced the r march for Modder River.Some of the poor fellows were very hungry, after hari* g half starved in the laager.’ L ird Roberts has published,an order tha kit g the troops fo* their routage and and for he zeal and endurance they have displayrd amid the hsriships of a forced a arch.He says that their f6r i tude and general conduct have been worthy of the (jueen’s soldiers.ROUT OF ENEMY COMPLETE.London, March 3.—The War Office has received the following despatch from Gen.Buller, “Ladysmith, Friday, March 2.— 6 30 p.m.—I find the defeat of the Boers more complete than I had dared to anticipate.This whole district is completely clear of them, and except at the top of Van Reenan’s Pass (37 miles from Ladysmith on Free State frontier), where several waggons are visible, I can find no trace of them.“Their last train left Modder Sprutt station about 1 o’clock yesterday, and they then blew up the bridge.They packed their waggons six days ago,moving them to the north of Ladysmith, so that we had no chance of intercepting them; but they have left vast quantities < f ammunition of all sorts, herds, grass, camp and individual necessaries.They have got away with all their guns except two.SUFFE INGS OF LADY SMITH GARRISON.TERRIBLE PRIVATIONS OF SICK.London, March 2.—Colonel Rhodes, brother of Cecil Rhodes, describing in the Times the entry into Ladysmith of Lord Duudonald and 600 men of the Imperial Light Horse and Natal Carbineers, on Feb.28, stys : — •‘It is impossible to depict the enthu siasm of the beleagured garrison.Cheer upon cheer ran from post to post, and staff ( fticers, civilians and soldiers flocked to greet them.At the foot of the Klip River women with children in their a%*ms pressed forward to grasp the hands of the gallant hand.Sisters and brothers, friends and relatives met again.It was the most moving scene I have ever witnessed.The contrast between the robust troopers of a dozen battles and the pale emaciated defenders of Ladysmith was great.The hour for which we had so patiently waited had come at last.WHITE MEETS TROOPS.“General White and kis staff met the troops in the centre of the town.He wan cheered with heartfelt enthusiasm.He addressed the civilians and thanked them and the garrison for their magnificent support Ihrt ugh trials which we alone can realize.We could possibly have hnng on for six weeks longer, but the privations would have been great and sickness and the paucity of our ammunition would have limited the number of assaults we would have been able to resist.PRIVATIONS OF THE SICK.“We originally started the siege with 12.000 troops, 2,000 civilians and 4.000 natives.Between casualties and sickness 8.000 soldiers passed through the hospital.It is impossible to over emphas ze the privations of the sick.Since the middle of .January a man once down was practically lost.The reduced rations of the soldiers just sufficed for their subsistence.Daily thirty old horses and mules were slaughtered and converted into soup and sausages.From January 15 to now there have been 200 deaths from disease al< ne.LAST OF THE BATTERIES.“The last fortnight saw the majority of the field batteries unhorsed and the guns permanently posted in our defences.The cavalry and drivers were converted into infantry and sent to the tenches.A line of defence had been constructed with the view of a possible final contingency, if the outer works should be carried.“Since the investment the total casual ties have been : — Killed or died of wounds 24 officers and 235 men ; died of disease, 6 officers and 34 men ; wounded, 70 officers and 520 men, exclusive of white civilians and natives.” PERILS OF THE KOPJES.HEAVY LO&H ( F THE INNISKILLINGS.London, March I.-A despatch to the D(iily Mail from Pieter’s StAtion dated Sunday February 25, and describing the five days’ continuous fighting,of which the attack upon Railway Hill by the Royal Iniskilling Fusiliers was one of the supreme moments, says : “The Inniskillings joined the column twenty four officers ; they have five left.That tells tho tale.No map, no penned account can give an idea of the difficulties of these hills and ridges, which succeed each other like waves in a heavy sea, the one giving way only to another.ENEMY GATHERING IN FORCE London, March 2.—3 a.m.—Paarde berg advices aay it appears that an action was about to begin with the Boer reinforcements at the moment of General Cronje’s surrender, but Lord Roberts forbade i* until all the prisoners should be in safe keeping.Lord Roberts addressed the Canadians, euressing in the strongest terms his pleasure and appreciation of their splendid work and courage.He attributed to them the greatest share in the Boer si rrender It is ui deratood that some 7000 Boers are concentrating on the Bri'ish front.The British cavalry is in touch with them to the eastward, and skirmishing began this morning.THE ARMY ESTIMATES SHOWING INCREASES The Britith Army etaiui&'ts issued on Thumdav night show a total expenditure i f £61,409.400, an increase over last year of £40 882,200.The total number of t flicers and men is placed at 430,000.an increase ov» r last year of 245 147.The new estinitte* inc ude the sums of £10,000,000 and £18,000 000 already voted for the war.The Mai quia of Lome h s issued the following exp’anatory m« morandum:— “The est im ites have been framed under the following adverse conditions: “A—Provision has been made for car rying on the war in South Africa.‘ B—It has been decHed to make a addition at once to the permanent strength of the army.“C—Temporary measures will have to to be authorized for increasing the defence of the United Kingdom.As regards the vote for men, £212,449 may be regarded as a permanent balance due to the war and to the special measures for home defence.” It is estimated tha the expenditure of £61,499,400 is accounted for as follows:— Normal estimate, €21,777,770; permutent addition to tho army.£1,926,000.temporary home defence, £6,228,010; and war charges, £31 668,700 PLACES ORDER FOR GUNS.An order has reached Woolwich Arsen al for the construction of 224 new guns, from 3-pounders to 12 inch guns.Of these 140 are to l>e naval guns.Ahead) 25,C00 workmen are employed at the ar seual and 3,000 more will be engaged.The decision to send out more troops and to increase the armament meets with universal approval.SECRET MESSAGE FROM CHAM BERLA1N London March 3.—A despatch to the Daily Mail, fromSydney, N.S.W.says: It has developed that the Premier received a few days ago a cablegram marked confi dential, with a n quest that its contents be ct mmunicated to the other premiers ‘Secret cabinet meetings have been held in all the colonies to consider tho de E-patch.The Premier of Now South Wales has asked Mr.Chamberlain's

CASUALTIES IN R.C.R.Toronto, March 2.—The Globe prints the following from Frederick Hamilton, its correspondent with the first contingent: “Modder River, March 1 , Paardeberg Drift, February 28 —It is admitted on all sides that the attack made on the enemy’s trenches by the Royal Canadians yesterday morning, helped materially to force the surrender of General Crwnje.The whole regiment did splendidly but G and H companies excelled all others in the work of building the advanced trenches under a heavy tire.Their casualties as a consequence bear a heavy proportion to the total.After General Cronja surren dered.General Lord Roberts addressed the troops and specially complimented the Canadians on the share they had borne in the achievment of the victory.The Globe summar z js the

conducted by a number of Conservative papers for months past had its natural effect m infitming thoughtless minds and inducing the outrages of which the McGill students and their followers were guilty towards their French Cana dian fellow citizens yesteiday.If it had been an ordinary students outburst the whole sfftir would have been pissed over, like others before, but coming on top < f this constant baitii g of everything French it has left a decided irritation which will be long in dying.Now that the enthusiasm has blown over there is general regret at the excesses of the McGill men, who invaded private property to compel the hoisting of fl igs, and at the retaliation of the Laval men who tore them down and cheered for the Queen,to show that th**y could be loyal without coercion.McGILL APOLGIZES.Prof.Walton Dean of the Law Faculty of McGill, waited upon Mr.Justice Mathieu, Dean of the Law Faculty of Laval, at the C »urt House at noon to-day and expressed his personal regret for the unpleasant occurrence of last evening, as they had arisen out of the fact that the visit of the McGill students had been evidently misunderstood.It turned out at the 1*01106 Court this morning that of the five young men arrested for creating» distubance not one was a McGill soudent.Recorder Weir in dismissing the cases, said it was natural to rejoice under the circumstances, but added that the demonstration was carried too far.Such events showed the extreme peril of newspapers raising race prejudices French Canadians and English Canadians were fighting side by side in the Transvaal.French Canadian gallantry was amply shown by those who had died and been wounded in defence of the empire.He hoped the difficulty would pass away, and suggested that on the occasion of the next victory, or when the war was over, a grand demonstration be made by Laval and McGill together.“THE PATRIE S” OPINION.The Patrie, referring to the disturbance yesterday, says that they were the result of the appeals to passions by Tory papers especially The Star, Mail ami Empire, News arid Spectator, which for months past hurled charges of disloyalty at French Canadians.Having recalled the attack upon Lord Elgin in 1849, because he did justice to French Canadians.The Patrie says that they are in the majority here and if they wished could revenge for these insults.“We do not advise this anti national policy,” says The Patrie, “but we do advise organization for vigorous resistance to such scenes.Oar fellow countrymen have the duty of compelling respect for their persons and property, by force if necessary.In truth, if this thing is to continue, if the invasion and destruction of our houses and property is tolerated, this country would soon become uninhabitable.I not a painful spectacle to find that we are, so to say, within two steps of civil war ?We are not the aggressors, but we are strong enough to fear no one.We do not hold the majority of the English people of Montreal and of the country responsible for the shameful scenes which dishonoured our streets yesterday.We have reached a decisive hour.Confederation can be maintained only if the two races live in harmony side by side.Very little added to what has just taken place would tear to pieces the Federal agreement without much delay.ANOTHER STUDENTS RIOT.Late this afternoon the Laval students started out on the march.It was reported that they were going to McGill, and the police authorities hastened a couple of posses of police there to protect the property.The students, however, turned off at Philips square and marched east again to Laval.To night they started out a second time and halted in front of the Star office on St.James Street.While the body of the students sang French airs one of them climbed to the roof of the temporary offices and tore down the Union Jack floating from the flagpole there.Half a dozen police stood by but did nothing.The students and a mob of followers next marched around to the Herald office and broke a couple of windows.From there they returned to Laval.In the meantime the McGill students, hearing that the others were on their way up, lined along the grounds and remained there a couple of hours, but fortunately there was no con flict.They promised the professors they would not leaf e the grounds, and whiled away the time singing, a particular favorite being “Nearer, My God.to Thee.” The Laval students on their way home stopped at the Drill Shed and tried to hoist the tri-color.The caretaker turned the hose on them and they departed.In the meantime the militia authorities had become alarmed for the safety of the hall.It happened that the Victoria Rifles had a smoking concert in their armory uptown, and Lieut.-Col.White, D.O.C., telephoned there for them to proceed to the Drill Shed.Fortunately their services were not required.It is time, however, that the police authorities put a stop to this rowdyism, for a few of them could easily have dispersed the mob to night before mischief was done.NOT LAVAL STDUENTS.Rev.E.Lafontaine, secretary of the law faculty of Laval gave an authoritative statement this morning that the students of Laval did not t*ke part in the hostile demonstration last night in front of the Star office.k j 4.Yesterday afternoon the stuients promised that they would not go 1 ut in a body during the evening.This promise was strictly kept, for the boys, Mr Lafontaine says, did not organize or even go out in groups, though a number of them remained on St.Denis Street in front ef Laval for some time , _ „ The incident in front of the Star t nice when the flag was taken down, was the work of outsiders, in no way connected with the university.DIXVILLE.The Salvation Army will have a jubilee and

your columns at the time, mentioning the principal features including the very acceptable items of enter tainment rendered ; hut owing to certain complications, has been impossible until now to send an accurate account of the business transacted.Tne following is a brief and concise account of the principal items of business, and may serve in a measure to give some slight idea of the workings of this com-paritively new org*nization of Christian women.It was decided at the outset that the reading of “Reports of Superintendents” must be kfc for some future meeting, as the necissary business would occupy all the time.Nominating, Credentials, Plan of Work and Resolution Committees were appointed and adjourned at once to other rooms to proceed with their work.Airs.Dowlin, treasurer, reported six dollars ($) in the treasury.The result of the election of officers was, as recorded, before : President — Mrs.G.G.McCardy, Lennoxville.Vice President—Miss Hurd, Sherbrooke.Cor.Secretary—Miss Emily Campbell, Sherbrooke.Rec.Secretary—Miss Ella McFadden, Lennoxville.Treasurer—Mrs.Dowlin, Sherbrooke.By her own request, Mrs.Skinner’s name was left out by the nominating committee.She was afterwards appointed Honorary President The Superintendents of Departments remained much the same as last year, there being only a few changes.Evangelistic and Lord’s Day Observance—Mrs.G.N.Hodge.Scientific Temperance Instruction — Miss Jennie McFaddea.Health and Heredity—Mrs.Enright.Narcotics—Mrs.W.H.Abbott.Legislation and Petition—Mrs, W.B.LeBaron.Parlor Meetings—Mrs.Davidson, Mrs.Howard, assistant.Lumber Camps and Literature—Mrs.Wm.McCurdy.Fair Work Mrs.A.W.Hyndman.Flower Mission—Mrs.A.McDonald.“Y” Work—Mrs.W.B Neil.Juvenile Work—Mrs.Morehouse.Sunday School Work—Mrs.Bartlett.Temperat.ee Grocers—Mrs.J.C.Waterhouse.Prison and Reformatory—Mrs.Phelps.Missionary Work—Mrs.Skinner.The “Plan of Work” Committee brought in a report which, after some slight amendment, read as follows : — 1.That in order that all may become more familiar with the work being done by the W.C.T.U.of this Province, we would urge upon every member of this County Union the importance of studying our Provincial Report.2.That each Local Superintendent bring into her Union a br.ef written report, once in three months, this report to be read in the n gular meeting and then given to the Press Superintendent for publication if thought advisable.3.That owing to the large increase in cigarette smoking, and realizing the terrible effect that it may ultimately have upon the young men of our land, we would recommend that Unions devote a part of one meeting in each quarter to the study of this subject, each member bringing in anything that would be inter esting and instructive, the same to be condensed and sent to some paper for publication.4 Tnat special attention be given the home department during the coming year, which includes formation of Mothers’ Circles or Mothers’ Meetings for the strudy of how best to train our children in the principles of purity, total abstinence and prohibition.5 Recognizing the importance of prison work, we would urge the members of all Unions to assist our Superintendent In her work by sending in literature, pictures or cards suitable for distribution among our prisoners or reformatory boys.In conclusion, the following resolutions were read and adopted by the meeting : Whereas, We at our first annual County meeting realize our weakness in conducting these affiirs.Resolved, that we express our appreciation of the kindness of our Provincial President, Mrs.Sanderson, in being present with us to-day, and helping us by her experience and wisdom and by consenting to preside at thi* meeting.Whereas : Our dear Mrs.Skinner,who has so efficiently tilled the office of President during the past year is now retiring from said office.Resolved, that we convey to her our extreme regret that see is not able to continue as our President, and also thank her for the work she has done so wisely and so well; Res >lved, that we extend our sincere thanks to Mrs.Hodge for the hospitality she has shown in opening the doors of her large and beautiful home, to this meeting, also, to the singers, Mrs.W.E.Morehouse, Miss Walley and Miss LeBaron, for so kindly cheering us during the session with their sweet singing.THE LATE SIMON K.OLIVIER.Mr.Simon K.Olivier, an old and esteemed resident of Magog Township, died on the 6:h ult., in Honolulu, H.Î., where he and Mrs.Olivier were spending the winter with

Church on the 7th ult.Bishop Willis officiating, and was attended by many of the leading citizens.During the service a fire which had been ordered by the Board of Health in the plague stricken

were flying from most of the public buildings and also from many of the stores and private residences throughout the town, then came theringu g (J bells from every church in town and a!s 1 the prolonged blowing of whistles from the various mills throughout the town.While some showed their patriotic feelings by the tiring of cannons and Snider rifias, the demonstration was kept up for about two hours when it was decided to have a torch light procession and fireworks in the evening and so arrangements were made to carry the same into effect, bur, as the storm grew more severe in the afternoon it was finally decided to hold the rest of tho celebration on Saturday afternoon and to burn Kruger’s effigy at the Post office Square, and so in spite of the great depth of snow at present in our streets, a procession was formed at the Market Square, at about seven o’cleck, the 58th Battalion ani City Bands forming together and parading the principal streets, followed by a loyal crowd of people.They halted at the Post office ?Square and burued Paul as a jove related the band dUcoursing patriotic airs, while others made the town literally red with the firewoiks which fairly filled the air, after which the procession re formed arid marched to the Town Hall where the balance of the fireworks were exploded to the satisfaction of ths onlookers.At the Methodist Church yesterday the front of the pipe organ was decorated with tvolaig* flags and a life size portrait of the Queen was also hung up at the back of the choir, t he following patriotic hymn was sung which was composed by the pastor, the Rev.Dr.Hunter, for the occasion.The pastor also made some very patriotic remarks in the course of the service.PATRIOTIC HYMN.BY KKV.W.J.Hl'NTKR, 1».C., PH D AIR—NATIONAL ANTHEM .God
