that the Transvaal Government failed to supply on deman J ol the doctors, the neces sary medicine and medical com forts ; that the prLoners were forced to bivouac cn the open veldt ; that the sick were placed in an open shed, with an iron ro.f, and that it was only when the new doctor threatened to resign that medicines and mattresses were supplied.He invites President Kruger to remedy this state of things and contrasts it with the treatment the B itish Government gives to the Beer prisoners, sick ai d wounded, w ho, as Lord Roberts sa> s, “ re ceive the same treatment as cur own soldiers.’* CANADIAN ARTILLERY AVI) MOUNTED RIFLES AT DE AAR The McKAY MILLING COMPANY OTTAWA, ONT.Buys only the best Wheat grown—the result is the very highest grades of Flour widely sought for— carefully selected and anal\Eel—their Wheat is bound to possess the best qua ities.Thus their Flour is pure, strong and v Lite bread made from it is sweet, tasty and health sustaining,—retaining its natural moisture.at Bloemfontt in, announcing the death from enteric fever of private K.Harrison, 2nd Regiment Cana-dim Anilltry Private Harrison, No 7802.He was a member of “F” Companj, Quebec The department notified Col.Cote that he may inform Harrison’s friends.NATIVES WILL RESIST EN-CRO .CHMENT OF BOER’S Mazeru.Basutotamd, Saturday, April 14 —Sir Godfrey Lagden, British resident commisoner, re turned here Friday from the scene of opeiations near Wepener He and the paramount have stationed 3,000 armed natives to resist possi ble Beer encroachments.The Orders oi the resident commisoner aie that the Ba^utos are not to be allowed to cross the Free State frontier on any pretext whatever.Two natives who crossed and looted an abandoned Boer farm, are now in custody.Colonel Dagety’s position is strong and well chosen, bue he is comble'ely surrounded.A Daily News despatch from Blotmlontein says that at a meeting of Boer commandants at Brand-fort, at which President Kruger was present, it was decided to withdraw the Transvaal forces to the northward in the event of their being hard pressed, and leave the Free Ftaters to their own resources.The statement that President Kruger has been south seems to confirm the reports that the Boers are getting disheartened.Tin’s continued exertion of his personal influence appears now to have be-C( me a necessity.ENEMY’S MOVEMENTS HAVE BNEN CHECKED London, April 14.—The War Office has received the following despatch f om General Roberts:— “Bloemfontein, April 13—1,30 p.m—The enemy’s movements south have been checked.• W epener is still surrounded, but the little garrison is holding out well.Troop.' are being moved to assistance.“T he health of the troops is good and the climute is perfection.’* The Tunes lias the following from Jonnersberg, dated April 13: “Colonel DalgCvty’s forces has been surrounded by some thousands of Boers with eight guns, two Pom-Poms and two Maxims, since Monday morning.They have gallantly wuth stood a heavy attack on Monday and again a night attack on Tuesday, and on Thursday there was a continuous shell and rifle fire.“We are confident of being able to repulse any attack Food is plentiful.Our casualties in the circumstances are small.The brunt of the fighting, as also of the lo s, has been borne by the Cape Mounted Riflemen.** London.April 15—Adv cesfrom De Aar under date of Ap il 14 says the main b'dy of the Carna von field force, in command of Col.Parsons, inefuding the Canadian artillery7 and mounted rifles a 1 ved here thb morning after .1 five wet ks* march from Victoria Road b.w ty of Kenhardt, a distance of m* re than 500 11 iie>.1 hey encoun ered ! |.nô active opposition, Col Pouguas engaged the Botrs near which was prev ously inrebellion and arrc**t.d RELIEF IS ON THE WAY Relief is on the wray to Wep c.ier.Boers in Natal appear in-rapub’e cf developing an aggressive movement at D’andsiaagte.Lord Methuen is at Zwattkop fonte in, 1 2 miles east of Boshof.and is sending small swiit columns through the adjacent country.rd ChesTam, commanding one of the these, encountered a small RORt K ’S GOOD WORK The Bloemfontein correspondent of tiie Times telegraphing Friday, says:— * Everything is going satisfactory.Owin*; to the enemys enterprise, a nece.^sity has arisen fora movement in the southeasterndivision and for strategic reasons trrop trains have monopolized the railway fora short perioi; but the Boer raids are only what was anticipated as the result of the halt in our main advance.“We in Bloemfontein, are full of admiration for the calm form with which headquarters has received these incidents.“Half of the ob ject of the enemy has failed since Lord Roberts has refused to be drawn intocomplica tions, but has fostered the enemy ’s enterprise making dispositions to checkmate it almost w ithout Bloemfontein being aware that movements of the troops have occu pied.” PROBAHLY READY TO STRIKE The Bloemfontein correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing Thursday,says:—“There is nothing whatever to cam e uneasiness.It will be seen that the Boers are just win re we want them.In a word we are all right.** Kimberley advices say the town guard has been remobilized and guns have been remounted at the forts, owing to the fears of the populace that the Boers will again attempt a siege.A battalion of the Scottish Rifles has arrived and the redoubts around the town arc manned with regular troops.The military authorities, how ever, regard these fears as groundless.ENEMY CHANGES TACTICS The Daily Telegraph has the following from Elandslaagte, dated April 13 — “The Boers are changing their tactics and are moving from Glencoe westward, with a view of threatening our lines of communication to Ladysmith.“Un Tuesday a corps of carbineers and a number of Thorney-croft’s Horse narrowly escaped be ing cut ofT, owing to the treoch^ry of a Kaffir and a native guide ” he Daily Mail publishes this despatch, dated Friday, April 13, from Lorenzo Marques:— “The Boers are manufacturing shells, especially Vicders Maxims, in large quantities at the Beghie foundry, Johannesburg.“The actual Boer losses to the end of March, including prisoners, are estimated at 12,000.At present there are 7,000 Boers in Natal and 37,000 in the Free State.” BOER VICTORY AN ERROR New Yord, April 13.—The Herald has the follow ir g cable from Pretoria, Widnesday, via Lorenzo Marquez, Thursday.— “My despatch stating that the total British prisoners taken in the operations southeast of Bloemfontein was i,8oo was an error owing to two Boer generals reporting the same engagement under different names.The correct total of prisoners is under one thousand.“Sharp but indecisive fighting continues near Dewetsdorp." This despatch disposes entirely of three “victories in one week,** which General De Wet,was reported to have won, and in which he was stated to have killed and wounded 6co British and captured 900 others.Dub in, April 14.—Th* Qaeeu Un k her Uvonte moimiig drive )t‘*u*rdtiy m the private ground* of the viceroy,after which .Jit .«’voided bciviceN in tie royal chaptd, wh to i Urge cou^regati >n aa^eiubled.The Primate of Ireland preached.In the courte t f the eernion rt ferred to the Imh aoldieia and the (^ueeu.During the afternoon Her Majesty took a drive in the count y.CHARGED \MTH INFaNIICIDE On Saturday Alphonse Caron and his aift were arrested by Sub Chief Couture and Constable Colt, on an order from Oonmer Woodward, charged with infanticide.Tuese parties are alleged to have been implicated in the case where the child was found at Windsor Mills the other «lay.They will appear again before Mr.A.(».Woodard, J.P., tomorrow morning ARIS EXHIBITION.1 ON SAT.OPRNING TOOK PLACE l KDAY.Paris, April 14—The Paris exl.ibi i n W4H opened at noon to day.Much space is devoted this moraler by the Paris newspapers to the opening of tke Exhibition, in the way of anti ipat • y ennuient, and many journals pubh.h iiluftrations and plans, in special supplement's.The ‘Figaro’ gives prominence to the statement that “Delicate homage,’ will be rendered to Picsident Luuburt by the United States when he passes the United State* pavilion a d the American section.At that moment th* American guard of sixty men, will saluto the chief of state with the French fUg, hhu* symbolizing tha union of the two great republics.'

AMERICAN COMPANY.The Annual general moating wa: held on March 2D at ths Lond m otfic s of the C’itnpaoy, No 40 Old Broad atreet.Air.Fraderick H.Jauoii,the governor,occupied the chair, and in moving the adoption of the report, Btatrd that the sale* of land during the year h'id been larger thau ever before during the existance of the company within a tingle year, while the collections were abnormally large.The growth in the United States for tho une of pulp wood for paper making had led to a brisk demand f >r p >rtions of the company’s uncultivated lands which produced timber suitable for that purpose.This demand seemed likely to continue.1 he commissioner had availed himself of the opportunity of selling considerable blocks of these lands at highly remunerative prices and the company had thus realized a large profit, and at the same time been relieved from the heavy burden of taxation which in the province of Quebec was incident to land.The value of their lands in Sherbrooke, they might take it for granted, would continue to increase.Canada was in an exceptio ally prosperous condition, and the prosperity was shared by Sherbrooke town With reference to the scheme to buy up the B shares, he was happy to find that the large receipts which had come to hand would enable them, after meeting all statutory and other obligations, and reserving a sum for current expenses, to appropriate £11,000 towards the redemption of thor-e ehares.The real estate was now reduced to 78,700 acres, valued at cost price, with subsequent outlay, at £‘36,812.The general fund account showed that the receipts from all sources in Canada and Loudon amounted to £30,164.Deducting the usual charges, there remained a balance in hand of £15.836, out of which the remaining half of the dividend on the A shares would be paid, and the £11 000 already referred to apprspriau d to the purchase of B shares.The capital of the company was now reduced by the extinction of 1,896 B shares, purchased since 1897, from £139,925 to £94,421.Sir Joseph Sebag Montetiore seconded the motion, which was adopted On a suggestion commun icated in a letter by Sir John Jardine it was unanimously agreed, subject to the motion being found technically in order to inorease the ^remuneration of the directo-s from £500, at which it has stood since the date of the charter in 1834, to £800, in recognition of the successful results of the policy promoted by the present board, by which the market value of the shares had been considerably enhanced.und American Methodist Conference.REV.DR HUNTER OF COATICOOK WILL KEPUKSKNT OtNADIAN METHODISTS.To the Rev.Dr.A.J.Hunter, of Coati-ever cook, Que , has fallen the honor of exiaunc.of the com- j officiMly repr^entingOM^UnMethofi.l.*r.the A meneau General Conference in Chicago next month, of the clergy and laity of that denomination.The gathering will be the largest in the history of Methodism io the world, as no less than 15,000 persons are expected to attend.But Dr.Hunter is not the only Canadian Methodist to be there.Many others will be present.The total of Methodism in Canad#, iu proportion to the population, according to the census of 1891, is 17-54 per cent, representing a quarter of a million actual church members and 850.* 000 adherents.In the United States, in 1899, there were 2,874,949 members with a proper Donate increase of adherents, ministered to by 17,583 regular, and 14 289 local preachers.In 1773 there were 1,160 Methodists in the Republic and only ten preachers.The Chicago Conference will begin on May 3, and continue for one month.From remote p*rts of the world, India, Africa, China, Japan, South America, and every spot on fche globe where the Methodist Church has a foothold, delegates, ministerial and lay, are hastening to that cosmopolitan city of 2 1)00,000 souls, and where Methodists to day have over 100 churches.Delegates from England and the continent will start soon, and few countries where civilization has penetrated will lack representation when the opening session is called to order.The general conference convenes once in every four years.It is the governing 1 body of the church and combines the legislative, executive and judicial powers of the organization.The conference, presided over by the 18 bishops, corresponds in its relation to the church to the houses of congress in their relation to the people.It has a constituency of about 3.000,000 actual members, and its in Huence extends over 10 000,009 souls, to attend to whose spiritual needs 18,000 ordained ministers are delegated.Jack Roach Arrested.OUR TRADE WITH GREAT BRITNIA The trade returns far March show the following changes iu Canadian imports : — Increase—Cattle, £15,000 ; wheat £56 000 ; oats, £18,000 ;

Saturday afternoon was the going over of the list of those who had oeen allowed to stand for further prt of.Tne case of Clarke Steady took up con siderable time.The opposition sought to prove this applicant was not in recsi it of the amount riqjireu by law to qualify him.He gave a list of places where he had worked, but the amount did not reach the amount.It was put in that he had worked at the Continenfal Hotel f >r his board, and this being placed at £100 would he thought be sutficient to qualify him.The applicant was not altogether clear in his evidence, and in reply to Mr Fraser he stated that he did not own the Continental II tel he paid for his hoard.The reason he kfc was because he worked in the interests o* the Liberal party.About a month before the election he told the hotel people that he had decided to cast in his lot with the Liberals.Nuihing more was said at the hotel until within eight days of the election when the proprietor < i the hotel told him that several of the leaders of the Conservative party had been down and had given him (the proprietor) the dickens for allowing him to stay in the house.He (Steady) told the proprietors that he would get out hut he would work all the harder at Boiinailie’s Mills, where he had been sent, in the interests of the party, and he told them furthet that he was determined to raise a L beral minority to a maj >rity and he did so—(laughter.) Several of the Councillors thought that Mr.Steady was not frank enough with his evidence and that the matter should be allowed to stand without proof.On a vote of the Council Mr.Steady was admitted a voter by a majority of one.Another name that was called, consumed a good deal of time.The name of A.Denault, East Sherbrooke, was allowed to stand for proof from a previous meeting.Councillor McMananiy stated that the lad’s mother had come to him and stated that her boy was 21 jears of age last January.She further denied the statement made by Mr.Therrien at a previous session that the same lady had told him that the would he elector was n"t twenty one.Up arose Mr.Therrien with a g tain in his eye, anil in stentorian tones u p ated the statement was made before wiUiesses.He was prepared to swear that the woman made that statement and he would go further and swear that he was not 21 years of ago.Councillor McManamy.—This gentleman is prepared to swear too much.Evidently he has got a grudge agaiut-t this woman because she would not allow him to bribe her husband at the last election.Mr.H.R Fraser said that a good deal had been said about electioneering can vasse/s.This woman told Mr.Therrien that the boy was not of sge and they could have no better proof than that.Councillor McMaiiimy said that the mother was prepared to come before them and swear that her boy was 21 years of age, bufc he did not think that it was necessary for her to he present, and he had told her so.He thought that his testimony was just as good as Mr.Therrien's.The name was ultimately allowed to stand until the evening, so that written proof in the sh*pe of an extract of birth could be presented.The other names were then proceeded with.When the Council resumed at eight clock the name was again taken np Mr.Begin presented a signed statement from Mrs.DenauU stating that the boy w»s 21 years of age.Mr.Therrien then said chat he had spoken a good deal in this connection, but he would say nothing more than to present an extract of the boy’s birth, which went to prove that he was not yet 21 years of age.Struck.One or two namss that had already been passed were dropped as it was found that they were not eligible as voters.The long list was completed at half past ten and a glad sigh of relief went up from all parties when the last name was read.The formal motions relative to the closing sf the roll were ineved{and His Worship spoke of the good feeling which had existed all through the proceedings.PERSONALS.Mr.Janies McKee from Montreal, was home for Eister.Mr.F.V.Lee, of San Francisco, Cal., !
