tificd at the bank.These men spoke English at St.Pierre.MET THE WHOLE GANG.At 11.30 on Sunday night Messrs.Louis Laverge and Xavier Nicole met ix hard-looking strangers just on the her side of the bridge from the bank, Fwo of them were on the sidewalk ind the rest were on the road.All were shouting and swearing vigorously n English, and the citizens who met them were glad when they got past without, being molested.These are all t races of the supposed burglars vefore the robbery pnd place.Bla HOW THEY GOT AWAY.If the cracking of the safe was well lonz the disappearance of the men was auch more clever.The burglars could have got away either by the market train to Quebec, or the Maritime ex- aress for Halifax as botb trains leave ore about 3 am.No tickets were sold last night in the railway office here, and if the men took the train must have done so without the -onductor\u2019s knowledge.Thinking that the burglars might \u201chave boarded the alifax train and paid their fare on hoard, your correspondent telegraphed Conductor Walker who had charge of the Sunday night Maritime express, asking if any passengers had boarded the train bere.His reply was in the negative.It is possible that the crooks may have driven towards the American border.Detectives Sylvain and Burke are here investigating the affair most thoroughly.Mr.Lavoie, manager of the St.Roch\u2019s Branch of the Banque Nationale came to town this evening with a fresh supply of funds for the branch here and business will go on as usual to-morrow.\u2014\u2014\u2014 SERIOUS PLAY.St.Catherines, Ont.,

Wednesday's operations at Willow Grange, as already cabled, proceeds to say : \u201cIn the darkness the prospect was dismal.The rain continued heavily.When the storm had spent itself the Yorkshire Regiment were on the move in the dariness.They advanced in snake-like formation towards the enemy's pesi- tion.They maintained touch and dress wonderfully considering the nature of the country.The swollen rivulets rer- dered dangerous by the heavy rainfall were successfully crossed, and the kop- jes were clambered and stumbled over.The supporting battalion was equally dogged.After a long march of several hours tte advance pickets of the enemy were reached.Numbers, however, had fied on hearing our advance, leaving evervthing behind.In the small hours of the morning the Yorkshire Regiment were walking steadily on.They were show fifteen men killed and seventy- two wounded.The West egiment suffered heavily.n tal, | within bavonet striking distance when one man, more nervously excited than his fellows, fired a shot, and gave the Boers warning of their presence, with the result that they ran away before the Yorkshires could get at them.They charged, however, as best they could, clearing the energy from the final position just at davbreak.The Boers rallied, and actually attempted to ride our men down, hut the bugle sounded the charge, and our men responded with enthusiastic cheer, and the enemy fled.The Boers, in their precipitate flight, left heaps of guns, ammunition, tiles and blankets.Thirty horses and several prisoners were taken.The object of the reconnaisance was to gain positions overlooking Estcourt.This was attained.Our loss was eight ki 1- ed and 42 wounded.Gen.Hildyard commanded in person.\u201d The Daily Mail correspondent at Est court, after describing the Yorkshire Regiment's seizure of the Boers\u2019 position at Willow Grange, says: \"Subse quently our troops had to vacate the position owing to the overwhelming strength of the oer attack, backed by their artillery.\u201cThe stecpness of the hill was such as to render it impossible for us to get our field guns up in time to support the infantry and hold the position.\u201d Loudon,

the discussion of the foreign policy of the Government was resumed.The Minister of Foreign Affaits, M.Delcasse, protested against the attacks of the Opposition which ke said did not recoil even before the risk of embroiling France in ex\u2018-rnal difli- culties.- The statement called forth Leftist cheers and nationalist protests.M.Denys Cochin, leader of the Clericals, expressed surprise at the importance attached to Anglo-French newspaper polemics, which, he said, were only froth.He added that he was no paitizan of the policy of fist-shakine, but he thought the war in South Africa gave the opportunity to seek certain settlements.Although he disapproved of fist-shaking he equally disapproved of the policy of crossed arms.Nationalist cheers greeted this statement.M.Denys Cochin concluded with urging a more active policy in China.N.Delcasse then moved the 1e-estab- lishment of the credit for an Embassy at the Vatican, as a matter of national intwrest to France.a great Catholic nation, adding that as long as the Government interested itself in the relations of the French clergy with the Curia, an Embassy at the Vatican was absolutely necessary.from Queenstown assert that Lady tirey

1899.INDEPENDENCE IN POLITICS.The country has everything to gain through the cultivation of independent thought and independent action in he political sphere.At most elections t is the independent vote that turns he scale and decides which party.shall dginister the affairs of the Dominiont would probably be shown, if the fig- rez could be obtained, that meither party enjoys at any time the adhesion of a majority of the whole electorate.There is always a large dormant vote reaching as high as 30 or 40 per cent of the whole.A movement that can interest these people and bring them.out at elections, is bound to be helpful.One of the most potent factors in preventing the public from taking a deeper inter=st in politics is failure of candidates who are elected to faithfully adhere to their pledges.In Canada, of late years, there has been a marzed disposition to treat as a light matter the promises by which elections are won.\u2018Every time this is done hundreds of people are disgusted with politics, and conclude that it docs not matter who wins that one party or one man in office is the same as another.This is a tendency that ought to be checked, by whatever means are available.British politics do not sanction such laxity, nor is it to be safely encouraged in this country.So long as it is the publie will be humbugged, and governments will come and go with no more effect than a mere change of personci.The public should discriminate between the men who violate and those who respect their pre-election pledges.This will be the first duty of an independent influence in politics.It is the right of every man to do his own thinking when he bas to decide how he shall mark his ballot.If he will do this independently of how he voted last time, and independently of the party allegiance of his forefathers, he will not go far astray.He may have to choose between the Liberals and the Conservatives or between them and a third party, but s6 long as the choice is the remilt of his own deliberate judgment, Le is entitled to feel that he has faithfully discharged his political responsibility.To do this one must read the arguments of all sides of politics without bias and prejudice, and must be ready to give a fair hearing to the exponents of the different political schools.If this sort of independence were more generally exercised, some politicians would be the losers, but in the end Canada would be the gainer.THE SIGNAL SERVICF.At the time of the accident to the Scotsman the suggestion was made in these columns that the Department of Marine should lose no time in adopting wireless telegraphy in the Signal Service, and is generally improving the system That there is absolute need for improvement is admitted by the Minister of Public Works.Mr.Tarte said recently :\u2014 \u2018Our whole system of buoys and lights from Belle Isle to Montreal is away behind the times.It must be all chanzed.I have many ideas on that question.| was particularly struck with the system of lights and buoys in the British Channel.They are so much better than ours that there is simply no comparison.\u201d This is sufficiently emphatic to be ample justification for the demand for great improvements in the service, and we trust that the Minister has lost no time in convincing bis colleagues that a reform is necessary.The proposal that wireless telegraphy should be utilized is now endorsed by the Shareholder, of Montreal.It is convinced that inasmuch as the system has been worked satisfactorily on the English coast lightships, and as the experience at the international yacht race also showed that it is practicable, Canada ought to make an attempt to apply it to the navigation of the St.Lawrence route.When the subject is taken up the Government would do well to do it in a thorough aud complete way.It can do much to remove the prejudice that has been created against the St.Lawrence route, and indifference to its responsibility would be a calamity to Canada\u2014_ mom oe = GENERAL BULLER'S MOVEMENTS.The work of \u2018the censor is evidenced by the fact that Gen.Buller has managed to keep his movements well concealed.We last heard of him at Cape Town, and he turns up suddenly at Durban, and is now at Pietermaritzburg, within striking distance almost of the principal Boer forces.Buller is now 189 miles from Ladysmith, which he will make an early effort to reach.movement of the relieving column, will soon have its effect upon the enemy.The Boers have shown themselves won- with the first serious reverse, we cannot

politicians in this district may expect to have their heads taken off.What is the use of building a new station at Levis if the bridge is in sight and trains running into the city.Mr.Barthe or Mayor Parent had better rise and explain to the public the cause of delay.Nothing has been heard about the bridge for three or four inonths since they were looking for the pillars of the bridge with X rays.BACKACHE.on Weak, Lame, Aching Backs, the Result of Sluggish Inactive Kidneys, are Permanently Cured by Dr.Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.Backache is in reality kidney ache.The kidneys become ciogged.and falter in tteic work of filtering the blood.Backache is nature\u2019s warning that the kidneys are on strike and that the b'ood is going through the system laden with foul poisons, which will cause Bright's disease, dropsy, diabot- es, rheumatism, or other enually painful and fatal complications.; Prudence tells everyone suffering with backache to set their hidneys right.The expericiice of tens of thousands of people tells him that to accomplish this there is no means so successful as the use of Dr.Chase\u2019s Kid- ney-Liver Pills \u2014 the world's greatest kidney cure.Lr.Chass Kidney-Liver Fills cure permanently by making the kidneys t-althy, active, aud vigorous.They are purely vegetable, act naturally and directly on the kidneys, and are wonderfully efficacious.As a prompt and positive cure for kidney disease, liver complaint, and all the complications of these filtering organs, they are unap- proached by any remedy ever discovered.One pill a
