offer.“There are over 200 European women and children in this legation.” I’NDKR 1*KKINS WALLS.Washington, August 13 A des->.\tch has been received at the Aar Department from General Chaffee, dated August 10, which says:- “Arrived at Hos Si W u yesterday.” This place which is spelled Ho Si Wu on the War Department maps, is about half way between Tien Tsin and Pekin.The American commander in China in this despatch of just three words received at the War Department late this afternoon, sent a thrill of exultation and expectancy throughout official quarters by announcing ds arrival at Ho Si Wu, only 33 miles from Pekin last Thursday.The last heard from him before this was at \rang Tsun, which had been captured after a hard fight and word of his movements since then had been eagerly awaited.Thursday he was 18 miles beyond ^ ang Tsun.Lang Fang, the place where the ill-fated Seymour expedition met its fate amf turned back, had been left behind.The battle ol Yang Tsun was fought on the 6th and the advance on Ho Wi Su was accomplished on the 6th.a march of 18 miles in three days.This was four days ago and at the same rate of progress Chaffee is even now fairly w ithin striking distance of the walls of Pekin.It was a consummation which the War Department awaited calmly, and stirring as the news was that the* American force was now nearing the gates of the Imperial city, Secretary Root and Adjutant General Corbin evinced no surprise, as it accorded with calculations, although the advance had been more rapid than was expected.As it has taken five davs tor Gen.Chaffee to report the advance to Ho Si Wu it is evident that wire communication is not open to the* front.This was hardly to be expected, but the safe arrival of the message at least shows that a certain measure of communication is open.yang tsun's death list.Shortly after this despatch arrived, another message from Gen eral Chaffee, far more lengthy, gave tin* melancholy result of the tight at Yung Tsun.The casualty list was given in detail with the additional information that the dead has been buried at ^ ang Tsun, and that the wounded had been sent back to the hospital at Tien Tsin.The reply of the United States Government to China’s overtures of peace was made public early in the day, showing the firm and final position that had been taken.It developed during the day that the reference to “the power* employed in the American reply was not without a distinct meaning.Exchanges between the various powers have been going on constantly, and as a result the officials had the satisfaction of knowing late in the day that the position of tin* United States had the approval and support of all the great lowers, WITHIN TWENTY MILES OF PEKIN.The Shanghai eorres]x>ndent.of the London Daily Express says that the allies were within twenty miles of Pekin on Monday.THE TAKING of YANG TSUN.A Yang Tsun despatch dated August 7.giving details regarding the capture of the place, says : “The Russians and French held the left, the British the left centre ami the Americans the right centre and the Japanese the extreme right.The British and A mericans have advanced on the village at a rapid rate for 5,000 yards under a severe shell and rifie fire.The Russiansoi>ened and the Brit-ish-American advance became a racs for positions culminating in a brilliant charge.“Tift* heaviest loss of the day was Mistained by the Vmericans, the llth Infantry having nine killed.6*2 wounded ami several missing.Tin* Bengal Lancer* unsuccessfully attempted to cut off the Chinese retreat.” AN AWFUL BLUNDER.Another Yang T*un special say*: “Owing to a mistake, British amf Russian gun* shelled the llth l .S.infantry during the night, wounding lo.'* Commenting on this occurrence, the Standard says : “It is melancholy to learn that the losses of the Americans who seem to have borne t hemselves wit h conspicuous gallantry, were increased by a deplorable error, in consequence of which one of their regiments were pounded by Russians and British cannon.The incident emphasizes t he necessity of that dose co-operation which is not easily obtained without a single commander and a general staff." BRITISH DIPLOMACY, London, August II The British Government according to a Shanghai correspondent of the rums has offered to lend £75,000 at U lH*r cent to the viceroy of \\ 11 Chang, province of Hu Pe, on the Yang Tse Kiang.for the payment of provincial troops.ENGLAND JUSTIFIED IN SHANGHAI.Tokia, August 13 The opinion is expressed in Japanese official circles that Russia’s occupation of New Chwang justifies thedespateh of British troops to Shanghai.It is believed that other powers will be driven to take similar measures in other parts of ( hina.De Wet Haed Pressed.fannot Shake off Kitchener and STEYN \ RKISONKR C VMP.IN BOER “ U 1TERLY UN WARRANTED.’’ LIEUT « L EYERtON S REFUTATION OF BUKDETT COUTTS’ CHARGES.Quebec, Vug.13 —Surgeon Lieut.-Col.G.Sterhrg Ryerson, Canadian and British Red Cross commissioner in South Africa, arrived in Quebec un x pec cedi y last night by the steamship Corinthian from Liverpool.He left Cape Town on he 4 h of July, remained ten days In L mdon and then cam?dir» ct home He wished to say that the aork of the d tler-»nt branches of the 8 >ciety iu South Africa wa>* most hopeful and oil a great •leal of good.He said in an interview “Mr.Bur-lett-Oouits was with me at Bloemfontein Hospital, and during the whole of that time he made no complaint whatever.He knew fh»t if he m tde such a complaint 1 had unlimited resources at my command and could easily have remedied any de-àciencies had they existed.Beseemed »erfe< tly satisfied with the arrangements uade, and he reserved his charges until he was 7,000 or 8,000 miles away from he ( tficials who could he injured by his utterly unwarranted statements.Of course, one cannot expect a war hospital to be on the same footing as a peace hos-lital ; under the circumstances, and the d tficulties of transportation, the care ve.i the wounded and the sick was ad mirable.No one was neglected, ai d 1 heard no compltint whatever.While in London I appeared before the commission of enquiry presided over by Sir Richarù Rowar, and g*vc uiy evidence in the case.Whuii I arrived on th»* field of Paarde-berg there were hundreds of horses and mules lying dead, the Boer laagers were being looted by K*fiirs and in the field hospital there were 250 wounded Boers besides the Biitish wounded who were also very numerous.I immediately began making arrangements for transport mg the wounded to Kimberley where they could be properly cared for, hut J was hampered in my work by the fact that few mules were availab e.Ordinarily ihe ambulance wagons were drawn by mules, but these animals had been used for transport purposes, and all that was left for us were oxen wagons.The heat was frightful and the i >urney took two days, hence it was not surprising that on the journey many » f the poor fellows who had been hit died of their wounds.It was unfortunate that we could not provide better accommodation, hut it whs an impossibility." Surgeon -Lieut.-Col.Ryerson, in his capacity as Canadian Red Cross commis sioner, was intimately connected with the officers in command and especially aftei his appointment as British commissioner at Lord Roberts’ headquarters.He suffered from a slight attack of veldt fever, while in Kimberley, but he soon recovered and now is the best of health.im the* election e»f W.J Bryan, anel aise» that 1 We*hstei Davis ha el rece*ive*d $125,000 fremi the same semree*, as a ennt ributiem frenn the* Deine>e*rntir Campaign Fund.Charles D.Pierce, Consul ge*ne*ral anel Treasurer e»f the Be>ei relief funel, ami Planter Weqssels, Spe*e ial ( 'ennmissioner e»f t he* Semth Afrie*an Republic*, in this city today, gave a denial of both statements.FIRED THE FARMS.Lomion.August 13.The* Standard pi hits a Pretoria despatch dated August 0, saying Boers sniped a train at hurst yesterday on the* line* be*-twe*t*n Pretoria and Mie!elle*burg.Two of its ocvupants were wound-e*d.In acvordnnce with Lord Robert’s warning all the farms were fired within a radius of te*n miles.” ANOTHER WAR POSSIBLE.London, August 13.A news age*ncv despatch from Lahore, l‘unjab, says the Ame*er of A fghau-istan is mobilizing force** of infantry ami artillery, and it is reported an ad va mv on the* Russian frontier is contemplated.It is added that the* news is not fully civdited at Lahore*, though, it is explained, (lie* Anie*e*r’s behavior has been e*ausing some* uneasiness in official Critical.So Says Minister Conger.Attack On Legations Renewed.The Bronk- SUPPLY OF FOOD HAS BEEN STOPPED.New York, August 15.—(Special)—The Journal to day prints the following cable : " Chefoo, August 14—Consul Ragsdale has just received a cipher despatch, by a Chinese runner from Minister Conger saying ; M ‘The situation in Pekin is more critical.“‘The Chinese Government are trying to force us to leave Pekin."

lar^e congregation of Jews at Roshpina church on Sunday evening, lauding the Anglo-Saxon rule.He said that recent events indicated that this race would finally govern the whole world.Their institutions had justice and equality for their foundations, and their laws were worthy of the highest respect of the Jewish citizens, They should not only respect such laws, but should make themselves as fully acquainted with the language and history of the country as of their own.He instructed all good Jews to offer prayers twice each week for Her Majesty the Queen and the royal family.The speaker continued in a most eloquent strain on other subjects, liis address lasting from 4 o’clock until 7.30.He dealt with the persecution of the Jews in other countries, and said their only hope lay n British supremacy, and it would be through the British that the Jews would ultimately be returned in full possession to the Holy Land.0 Banque d’Hochelaga Block, 141 Wellington Street, Sherbrooke Established 1878 ieutenant in the 0th Dragoons, Col.Otter writes : “1 am sorry to say that IJeut.Pelletier, on receiving notification of his appointment, decided to resign, and has forwarded through me his application for leave to do so.He has not, therefore, joined the Imperial service, but is still doing duty with the 2nd R.C.R.” Of Private Murray, appointed 2nd lieutenant in the 2nd Dragoon Guards, the Colonel says; “Private Hendrie sailed from Ca|>e Town for England on 23rd June to join his new corps and has therefore been struck off the strength of the 2nd R.C.R.” MEUT.OGILVY’S GOOD WORK.Reporting upon the appointment of Major Macdonald as I).A.A.G.for railway transport at Cape Town, and which appointment lie -'till fultilling.Col.Otter says : “You will recollect that this officer was sent to Cai>e Town on January 2nd last, ill, suffering from heat stroke.On his convalescence hi was given the appointment above referred to, and has consequently not been with the battalion since.On Major Macdougall's departure for Cape Town in January, Lieut.Ogilvy assumed the duties of adjutant, and has since performed them with the utmost zeal, discretion and intelligence, and a few days ago I cabled you recommending him for the appointment, having previously, in May last, asked that he might be given the rank of captain.“As Lieut.Ogilvy has jierfornied the duties of adjutant during, I may say, the whole period of our service in South Africa to my great satisfaction, and as tlu vacancy exists tli rough Major Maedougall’s transfer to the staff which practically places him on the special service list, I would very strongly recommend Lieut Ogilvy for the vacancy, with the rank of captain.” Referring to the condition of the .battalion Col.Otter says : “You r will see by the parade state that some SO N.C.O.s and men (conva lescents) are sufficiently fit for gar rison duty.Our list of sick and unfit for regular duty has l>een thus sensibly diminished.Capt Barker has again reiiortcd lot duty.” “ARE HEREBY STRUC K OFF.’ Ottawa.August 13.Militia orders published on Saturday, contain the following notice: Nos.72 Private J.A.Hopkins, and

and you can remind her without anybody’s knowing you've done a thing.” •But she’d have to remember what the signal stood for.” ‘Leave that to me,” he answered.“I shall make it very plain and easy, and I'll take it down to the office and have two typewritten copies made—one for you ami one for Nora.” “1—hope Nora will like it,” ventured Mrs.Blakey anxiously.“She's a little particular, you know.” “She’s sure to like It! You women never seem to understand what a sense of satisfaction it is to the employee when he feels a systematic hand on the helm.Why, the people who work for you would rather have things run pretty strict than not to feel system in the management.They want to know there’s a head planning things for them.I’ve found that out in business I tell you, all that housekeeping needs to make It run easy is the application of masculine brains ami business metli ods! Nora will like It, all right enough.” But Nora didn’t.Loyal Mrs.Blakey presented the plan as Joyfully as if it were her own pet project, but her ef f.>rt to catch and impart her husband’s enthusiasm about it was a dead fail ure.Nora looked very glum as she pinned the typewritten code of signals up by the kitchen clock, and Mrs Blakey felt glummer still as she fas tened her own copy on the edge of her mirror and stood mumbling over Its words.“ ‘One long ring and two short-finger bowls,*” she repented.‘“One short and two long—repnssing article last served.* ‘Two long rings—clear table for next course.* ‘Three short rings—rt-flll water glasses.’ Ob, dear! sue broke off suddenly.“I sometimes wish David wouldn’t take so much interest in making my work easy.” But David’s interest kept right up.He urged the use of the code with untiring zeal, ami oue day when pretty, black eyed Nora actually came and tilled the water glasses in answer to three short rings" he glowed with unspeakable pride and declared that they must really give a dinner.Eight is the proper number for our table,” be told his wife.Ami then he began to plan the menu.Mrs.Blakey was a cheerful, gay little body at the time of her marriage, and the sparkle isn’t entirely gone.She looked very pretty on the night of the dinner.The table was perfect; the cut glass blazed with rainbow lines, the silver dAzzled and the floral centerpiece was a credit to Mr.Blakey s taste.The feast was to be rather more pretentious than anything Mr.Blakey had heretofore planned, but he bud no fears about the service.He relied on the code.Mrs.Blakey, on her part, was determined to please David by appearing quite unconscious whenever she signaled Nora.The consequence was that her smiles and attention to the man on her left during the soup course half turned ids head.How delightfully clever; do tell me another!” Mrs.Blakey was saying to him, brightly, as her small foot pressed the button and telegraphed Nora to ‘clear table for next course.” Nora appeared- a dream of delight in black dress, an exquisite apron and cap that Mr.selected and occasion.She never so mud JNO.0.DUNCAN Wellington St.Cook’s Cotton Boot ComponiK I# Moecetwfally monthly by over 10.000ÎAdie- Siife.effectual.Ladies no ot makes the hair healthy and vigorous; makes thick and cures dan- It always restores color to gray hair,— all the dark, rich color of early life.There is no longer need of your looking old before your time.ft .00 a bottle.All druggist#.“A# a remedy for restoring color to tlio hair I believe Ayer s Hair Vigor has no equal.I lias always given mo perfect satisfaction in every wav.” Mrs.A M 8thEHL, Aug.18,1808.HammoudsportjN.Y.WrHm ihm Doctor.He will *end you a book on Th# n.'tir and Scalp free, upon request.If you do not obtain all the benefit# y».ii expected from the use of the Vigor write the Doctor about tt.Address.Dr.J.C.AYER, LoweU.Mass 115 and 119 WELLINGTON ST COME IN AND SEE OCR GREAT JOB OF Ladies’ Shirt Waists, PRICES 49c 59c.69c.NOT ONE IN THE LOT WORTH LESS THAN A $1.00.C.F.OLIVIER, 117 & 119 Wellington St.Keep.Goal.a a brand new butterfly Blakey himself had brought home for the waited for the cue.She our drugglat for Cook • Cofto# R#^l C#® [her, as ad Mixture#, pill#and Price, No 1 *- fmfutlons are dangeroua.Price, lTr box : No.».10 degrees stronger.W Pf [ 1 or mailed on receipt of price andtwo»-eenl ¦tamfs.The Cook Company t^“No8.I and 1 aoldand recommended by all reppoualble Druggist# la Canada.as glanced at Mrs.Blakey, who in hot turn kept her eyes determinedly away from the maid as sin* chatted ou with the man at lier left.Nora flitted about, deftly removing soup plates.Suddenly Mrs.Blakey felt herself pierced by her husband’s gaze.Great heavens! What was the girl doing?Finger bowls after the soup! Had sin given lier the wrong signal?The guests were looking puzzled and watching their hostess.Mrs.Blakey rose to the occasion and desperately dipped her fingers, while site peremp torily gave the signal for next eourse Away went the finger bowls, and Nora, with a wild look In lier pretty eyes began to bring in black coffee.“Horrible!” ejaculated Mrs.Blakey to the man on iter left, who had just finished quoting her a little quatrain of his own.Then sin* apologized, with one eye on him and another on Nora who was floating past her, all uncon scions of appealing glances and furtive dutches at her sleeve.The code o signals was eddying like a whirlpoo in Mrs.Blakey’s mind.The coffee was finished and something must lie done She gave one long, continuous ring and watched breathlessly to see what would turn up.A cold perspiration started upon lier forehead.Another round of finger bowls! And while they were using them, Nora, with a face like a lobster, passed the bread.It was a long dinner—the largest and most indigestible that either he or Mrs Blakey had over eaten—but It came t an end at last.The guests had d< parted, and Mr.Blakey stood with hi hands in Ids pockets looking reproachfully at his wife as she sobbed It out on a sofa pillow.Suddenly she sat up and gave a shriek of laughter.Then another and another.“Eleanor! Eleanor!” cried Mr.Blakey.In alarm.“What’s the matter?Is It—hysterics?” “Hysterics—no!” she echoed, with another burst of laughter.“It’s—it’s masculine brains and business methods!” And that was one time when Mr.Blakey spellod out a new page in his primer of life.— me ad>ei t";>ed to he the siilistantlal oquiMilent of a higher-priced t»ook, when in H-alitv, so far as we know and believe, they are all, from A to Z, Reprint Dictionaries, niiotot \ tie copkos of a book of over tlfty years ago, which in its day was sold lor about no.and which was miicn Hii|icnor in paper, print, and binding to these imitations, being tin n a work of some merit instead of one Long Since Obsolete.The supplement of 10,0U0 so-enlled “new words,"' whieh some of those Inuoksarc adver tised to contain, was compilcxl by a gentle man who died over forty yt-isr* agm, and was published Ik*fore ids death.Other minor addit ions an* probably of more or less value.Th Genuine Kdltlon of Webster’* 1 na-bridged I Dictionary, which is the only meritorious one familiar to this generation, con-¦* till tains over Sum pages, with illustrations on nearly every page, and »K*Hrs our imprint on tin title page.It is protected by copyright, from cheap imitation.Valuable as this work is, we have at Mist extK*nse publish» *d a thoroughly rev is» si sue «¦«•ssor, the name of which is W kmhtkii s International Diction a hv.Illustrated pamphlet free.c.& C.MERRIAM CO., Springfield, Mass., U.8.A- THE ALL-CANADA SHOW !

ENDEAVOl’RKD TO COXVKHSK WITH UHISONKHS HY SIONS.Dover, X.II., August 14.A ich Cc profound secret which County Attorney Scott and City marshal O Sullivan of Lawrence have eon-fined to themselves the past 21 hours is the fact that Joseph Huddle, alias John Brown, and John Brooks, alias John Williams, two of the three men held here awaiting the action of the grand jury for the cold blooded murder of John McNally and Thomas Dobbins in this city the night of July 4th, were indentitied at the county goal here by High t onstable Hiram Moe, of Sherbrooke, Can., as being two of a desperate gang of 16or twenty crooks who have operated extensively in Canada.Six of the gang were arrested for breaking into a bank at Danville, Que., Feb.Hth, cracking the safe aiul^fealing therefrom SJ, loo.The gang was arrested for the crime Febuary 8, and while awaiting the action of the grand jury broke Sherbrooke goal.F our of them made good their escape last April.The remaining two were tried for the crime and sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary.The Sherbrooke officer says the men who operated in Canada are a well organized gang of lawbreakers, who have effected a number of successful and systematic bank breaks in Canada, another of which occur-ed in a city, where they secured $7,000, not a cent of which was recovered.After the Danville break, when the gang of six was rounded up, $4,100 was found with them, it is also said that the gang had a pool of $15,000 to work with, and that the best of legal talent is constantly in their employ for the purpose of coming to their rescue when in trouble.A LOT OF ROGUES.High Constable Moe brought with him pictures of a dozen of the gang, who are as desperate-looking a lot as ever hung in a rogues’ gallery.Among them are the men held here for murder, who gave their names as Williamsand Brown.The picture of Huddle, alias Brown, is a perfect likeness, as is that of Williams, except that the hair of the latter stood on end as a result of the desperate struggle made by him to prevent the picture being taken.City Marshall O’Sullivan of Lawrence ascertained yesterday that John F’arrell, one of the five men arrested here for the Dover murder, and who is now held on the charge of being implicated in the Cold Springs brewery break at Lawrence the night of July 2, belongs to Pitsfield.Mass., and that Ids father has already engaged counsel at Lawrence to defend him on the Lawrence charge.Mr.F’arrell says that his son has been away from home only a year.It has developed that during the recent police court hearing here of the five men arrested for the murder of Dobbins and McNally, two or three strange men in the audience were seen to attempt to converse by the way of signs with the prisoners in the dock, and they are believed by the authorities to be members of the same gang.When the prisoners were en route to jail from the court-room, these same men were seen to wave their handkerchiefs at the prisoners.An Awful Experience.FIRE ON BOARD STEAMER CYMRIC.FLAMES SUBDUED WITH GREAT HARDSHIP.New York, August 13.—The White Star liner Cymric, which came up to her dock in this city' at an early’ hour to-day, and landed her 373 passengers, had a terrible experience while crossing the Atlantic.At noon on Sunday, August 5, when the big vessel was 19 hours out from Queenstown, fire was discovered in the cargo in the forward hold and it raged until midnight on Monday when it was reported under control.The loss on the cargo was so heavy that Agent John Lee, of the White Star line, notified the consignee ol the cargo that they would be expected to pay their pro rata share of the loss Captain II.St.G.Lindsay, of the Cymric,to-night told the experience of the men on the vessel in fighting the fiire.In addition to the ordinary danger of such work the fire could not be located, and deadly chlorine gas which injured out of the hatches made it impossible for the men to remain in long at work.The officers of the Cymric headed the men, and man after man was lifted unconscious from the hold.The captain was carried out four times and once it api>earcd as though breathing had stoojied.In the hold were hogsheads of bleaching powder and soda ash.The heat and fire caused the chlorine gas to generate and this poured out at a terrific* rate.LARGE ORDERS BRITAIN.FROM “Le Soleil,” says “It is probably not very
