but these orders, so far as the artillery contingent is concerned, have been recalled Lord Roberts havi g reported that no more artillery from home is necessary.This is the first pause in reinforcements since the war began.Sir Redvers Buffer, second in corn-maud in the field and Lord Wol-seley, are understood also to consider that no more artillery is needed.Lord Roberts has altogether 452 guns, including seige peices.BULLER TO REMAIN QUIET says :— “ The white flag treachery was personally witnessed at Dreifontein by Lord Roberts, who was looking through a telescope when the Welsh were charging, and saw the Boers hold up their hands, show the flag and drop their guns.He saw an English officer advance to receiv e their surrender, whereupon Boer volley was fired and the officer fell.” SHARP the money will be required.” Whatever the Government may know or intend, unofficial opinion seems everywhere to think that the Boer power is collapsing.GENERAL JOUBERT RESIGNS The Berlin correspondent of the Daily Mail says:— “I learn that there is dissension between President Kruger and General Joubert, and that the latter TO I has resigned.Probably President Kruger will assume the chief com- T 1 T) i r ,1 .I mand‘ General Schalkberg and Lord Roberts sent the following | other commandants are also likely to resign for similar reasons and because President Kruger ignored their advice to make peace overtures after the first Boer victory.FRENCH’S FRONT IS CLEAR.Poplar Gro e advices says General French who is ten miles ahead reports that his front i4 clear of the Boers.All other reports tend to TELEGRAMS SENT PRESIDENTS.telegram to the Presidents of the Orange Tree State and South African Republic :— “Another instance having occurred of gross abuse of the white flag, amPof the signal of holding up hands in token of surrender, it is my duty to inform you, that, if such abuse occurs again, I shall be most reluctantly compelled to order my troops to disregard the c^n^rn] t*lesJa c 0^*sorganization white flag entirely.“The instance occured on a kopje east of Dreifontein, yesterday evening, and * as witnessed by several of my own staff officers as well as by myself and resulted in the wounding of several of my officers and men.A large quantity of explosive bullets of three different kinds were found in Commandant Cronje's laager and this has been the case at every engagement with your honors' troops.Such brearhes of the recognized usages of war and of the Geneva Convention area disgrace to any civilized power.“A copy of this telegram has been sent to my Government with I Boers, who were completely parai the request that it may be com-1 ized by Lord Robert’s masterly of the Boer forces of the Transvaal as well as Free State, The general impression is that further p ogress of the British to Bloemfontein will not be opposed.A great amount of ammunition was destroyed to-day.This included several [boxes of explosive bullets, on the outside of which the Boers had marked : “Manufactured for the British Government.” CONFIRMS PANIC OF BOERS.All the special despatches from Poplar Grove confirm the reports of the panic of the Boers.The Morning Posts correspondent says :— “President Kruger shed tears at this ineffectual attempt to rally the It is quiet clear that General Buffer will not try anything large in the future, as he is to loose Sir Charles Warren and the latter's 10,000 men, who have been order ed to join Lord Roberts.It is the expectation of the War Office that Lord Roberts,notwithstanding the necessity of garrisoning his depots, will be able to operate a constantly increasing force until by the Transvaal fronteir is reach- ed, he will have 70,000 tro >ps* His telegram dealing with non-essentiah, are taken to mean that he is up to some mischief, as his apparent inactivity usually spells uncommon activity.There is a rumor this morning that Colonel Baden-Powell lias been relieved, but this cannot be traced to any substantial basis, time will tell London, March 10.—A correspondent of the Daily Mail,' at Lorenzo Maaquez, telegraphing on Thursday March 8, says:—‘I am reliably informed that high officials openly declare that the British flag will never fly at Johannesburg* The place will be razed to the ground, and the mines put in readiness to be electrically exploded from the fort, as occasion requires* Most of the gold mines, except those which the government con-trels, are in a shocking state* They are flooded, and the machinery is rusted, and is being wilfully smashed.foR pi i«V ClJ0?M BEjT anti-rheumatic plaster made 1 CVH FL45Ttf*iN e,jwh-ed Bcf< PRICE 25MLS0 IN I YARD 1 *01 £PR,CE 9100 DMWMMCOlt AWllirACTL'RERS j^NTHO!

1899.Full time has been the rule, and a large number of engines and cars have been turned out, as well as repairs having been done to hundreds of cars.In the car shops the following rolling stock has been built, and put in operation during 1899.Two magnificent composite cafe parlor cars, composed of drawing room, seating twelve persons dining room to accommodate the same number, buffet and smoking rooms with large and commodious separate toilet rooms for ladies and gentlemen.Those cars are part of the fatt day expresses running httween Montreal and Toronto, and since their inauguration have betn very much appreciated.Luncheon is served in the dining compartment any time during the day, thus obviating the necessity of passengers leaving train for refreshments while en route between the two cities and enabling the Grand Trunk to save a considerable amount of time in the run, the distance now being made in a little over eight hours.Seven first class modern coaches of the 8LÜ series were built and are running over different parts of the system.These coaches have been praised by all who have seen or travelled in them, and they are the finest first-class cars on the continent being made without regard to cost, and with every detail throughout for the comfort and ease of the travelling public.In addition to these, two composite second class and baggage cars were also built and added to the roiling stock.Other cars turned out of the Montreal shops were 230 box, 2d care of your selves, go to bed early and sleep tiff yon can sleep no more.Don’t overwork, nor overdo anything
