account against Clifford for groceries, and this was the reason she had not settled the bill for rent.When the bailiffs had had a good look round they left one of their men, O'Keefe, on guard to see that none of the goods were removed, and went away.The coming of the bailiffs was a surprise to Mrs.O'Hare.She had not expected anything of the kind, and dd not know what to do about it at first.She did not wish to settle, on account of the counter claim ahe held against Daniel Clifford, her landlord.About 6 o'clock Mr.Wm.Vir- iue, the beer bottler near the corner, heard of the trouble, and had a talk with Daniel Ciffford.He offered to settle the claim for the three months for $95 and the lawyer\u2019s expenses.Damiel Olifford accepted, and they went down the street towards Virtue\u2019s office, where Clifford was to get a cheque for the amount.Miss O\u2019Meara, however, ran after the them and told Mr.Virtue not to settle as they held a counter account.Accordingly Mr.Virtue did not that my father had fallen and hurt himself.I said:\u2014'You have murdered my father,\u201d and he made no reply.My father was lying on his face, and he was dead when I saw him first.\u201cAs far as I know, there was no quarrel or any dispute during the afternoon or evening.My father gave no cause for offence that I know of.There was a bowl, or bottle, of jelly found near where my father was killed.His head was crushed in at the back, as if by a blow.\u201d In reply to a question put by a Herald reporter, Mrs.Griffin said: \u2014\u201cMy father was sitting on the balcony through the night in order to watch the store, as he suspected that the bailiff was not square and that an attempt would be made to remove the goods.\u201d Deceased a Contractor.The late Dennis Clifford was a native of County Kerry, Ireland, and was about 65 years old.He left Ireland when a young lad of about 15 years of age and day morning Mrs.O'Meara sent Miss O\u2019- Meara for a friend of here, Mr.William Hood, who lives at 29 Aylmer Street.He got out of bed and hurried up the street.Opposite Mrs.O'Hare\u2019s door he saw Joe O'Meara, Elliott and another man, the son of a laundry woman farther up the street.Hubbard came down the street from the direction of the deceased\u2019s house.Mr.Hood says that he seemed intoxicated.Hubbard called out something about a row up the street and that a man had been hurt, Mr.Hood to a reporter yesterday, \u201cHubbard asked me what busmess it was of mine, and spoke very loud.I told him to make less noise and that \u2018he had better go home.I then ran upstairs to see what Mrs.O\u2019Hare wanted.She said that she was nervous and that she wanted someone in the house.She seemed cut up about the bailifi\u2019s seizure.She did not mention anything about any row and did not hear of Dennis Clifford being hurt until ves.terday morning when Jerry Clifford called at my house about nine o\u2019clock.I did not see anyone else on the street when I was called to Mrs.O\u2019Hare\u2019s.Joe O\u2019Meara Threatens.During the afternoon, Mr.Daniel Olf- ford, who lives at No.65 Mayor Street, and who caused the seizure, was walking up and down the street near the grocery store.He says he saw Joe O\u2019Meara several times and he seemd very angry.One time the came down Aylmer Street and he heard him say: \u201cI'll have my revenge for this.\u201d He heard no more and of course did not know to what O'Meara was referring.He (Mr.Clifford) went home shortly afterwards and did not hear or see anything more.Mr.Jerry Clifford, a nephew of the deceased, and Daniel Clifford, says that all afternoon Joe.O'Meara and some others were going in and out of the store and drinking.Mr.Perron, who lives at No.2 Mayor Street, heard loud talking in the street about half-past two, but as that was common he paid no attention to it.He did not hear anything that was said.Mr.Wiggins and his family live upstairs above the O\u2019Hares, but did not hear any noise till about four o\u2019clodk, when someone called and asked Mrs.Wig- gina to go up to 45 Aglïmer Street as Mr.Clifford wanted her.She went up, but when she saw blood on the verandah and she did not go in, but came home again.A Contradiction.Mrs.O\u2019Hare was seen yesterday afternoon, but was too nervous and excited to give all the details as she knew them.\u201cI don\u2019t know anything about it,\u201d said she.\u201cI did not hear any noise or any disturbance on the street.Joe was at rome all evening from six o'clock, except for a, few minutes when he went a message for me.\u201d \u201cWhat time was that,\u201d asked the reporter.\u201cWas it before 12 o'clock?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d sobbed Mrs, O'Hare, \u201cI think so.\u201d Mrs.O\u2019Hare said further that neither she nor her sister Miss O\u2019Meara had been on the street at any time during the evening, nor had either of them called to Joe O'Meara or to any other person to come bome.; .Spread of the News.Dennie Clifford was killed about 2.15 yesterday morning, and although it was Sunday the news spread mapidly that some one had been killed and that Joe O\u2019Meara, the famous lacrosse player, was implicated, and had heen arrested.Early in the morning meighbors of the murdered san heard of it and stood round In groups talking about the affair.It was not long till passers-by noticed that something unusual had happened, and those on the streets were eager to tell the story.The.\u2014 \u201d jd = vus a !

will be an important witness in the case when it comes before the courts.Though fhe was not present when her father was killed, she heard part of a conversation outside which has a direct bearing on thq case.Her story is best told in her own words, \u201cI was in bed,\u201d said Mrs.Griffin yesterday, \u201cwhen about 2 o'clock I heard voices outside, my father\u2019s voice among others, I heard a woman's voice, Mise (\u2019Meara\u2019s, I think, and caught some of the words, ~ Sunday\u2019s Tragedy\u2014At the Corner is O\u2019Hare\u2019s Grocery Store.| Killed.came to the United States.He worked for a while in Pennsylvania and Indiana.He then came to Kingston, Ont, and later to Montreal, where he has been for the last forty-five years.He was a laborer with the corporation for some time, and afterwards was a contractor, and did work for the city.He and his brother Daniel were in partnership, and up to the last few years they have been in business, and both have amassed a considerable amount of money, and now own a large amount of real estate in the neighborhood of their residence.The deceased lived at 45 Aylmer street, and with him lived his wife, his sister and his daughter, Mrs.Griffin.The Cross Shows the Spot Where Clifford Was rapidity with which the news travelled ; was surpriging, and by noon there was mot a district in the city where some had mot heard of the affair, and that Joe O\u2019Meara wag under arrest on the charge of murder.In all the clubs where men interested in sport meet there was heard on every side expressions of surprise and regret at the occurrence.All day long Aylmer street was crowded with curious people who did nothing but stare at Clifford\u2019s house and O\u2019Hare\u2019s store.Even the shades of evening were not enough to thin the crowd, and at a late hour last evening there were large groups of people standing mear the scanie and talking in low tones.Bailiff Left at Nine O\u2019clock.The reason that Dennis Clifford, old man 3A Mw pinned Eber.bélo.0'éhock res as he was, stayet' outside-till-euch a date | \u201cWhen I asked what row?\u201d said\u201d heard that Dennis Clifford had been _ killed, donia Springs and Vankleek Hill, hour of the night was made clear by a statement made by the bailaff yesterday.Bailiff Read said that he left a man named O'Keefe to guard the store.Mr.(Keefe stayed there till about nine o'clock, and then had a good look round to see that everything was in its place, and ail the dnors and windows secure.He then locked the front door and went away for the ntght.It seems that Dennis Clifford heard that the guard had gone away and was not sure in his Own\u201d mind that the tenants, Mrs.O\u2019Hare and ther brother and ssiter, would leave things as they were.This suspicion was strengthened by the fact that several persons said \u2018the store Was open at a later hour than nine o\u2019clock, that is after the bailiff's man had left.Acting on his suspicion Dennis Clifford sat on the verandah of his house i such a position that the could see the store door and the door of Mrs.(\u2019Hare\u2019s residence, which is above the store.If anything was taken away he would have seen it.He communicated his suspicions to his family and when he went out on the verandah to watch, the others in the house retired at the usual hour.During Saturday afternoon, Dennis Clifford was on the gallery, though at that time the bailiff\u2019s officer was on guard Several people say they heard O'Meara and his friends saying something about Clifford, but could not catch what was said.Judging from general appearances they seemed to resent Clifford\u2019s watching from his post on the gallery.O\u2019Meare as a Lacrosse Player.It was in 1892 that O'Meara came to the front as a lacrosse player.He was on the Shamrock team and played outside home, where he made a name for himself.He bad a peculiar twisting method of getting past his opponents, was a good runner and accurate shot.He played with the Shamrocks until the demon drink began tn master him, and he was dropped.He then went up to Ontario and played with several clubs.Last year he played both here and with the Tecumsehs of Toronto, with which étub he closed the season.In h\\ early lacrosse days O'Meara was one of the most popular players in the city.He was gentlemanly and good-natured, and made a good impression upon the spectators.His lmabiv of alw.ys turning up late cn the field brought him in for a lot of good-natured chaff from his friends.OLD MR.NULTY DUG UP TOM'S VIOLIN And Took it to Him in Prison, When the Murderer Pleaded.Tom Nulty, the Rawdon murderer, is resigned to his fate.He now states that he is prepared for the worst, and is apparently satisfied to die.Rheumatism has tdken a firm hold on his right side, and he is hardly able to move his leg and arm.This has put a stop to his viohn playing.| In this connection a little nicident has just been made known that is extremely interesting.It will be remembered that how he had taken Tom\u2019s violin and bow and had buried them.\u201cThey will never play again,\u201d he said.Quite recently when he was paying a visit to his son, Tom pleaded with him to dig up his old violin and let him have it to cheer him up a bit in his cell.The old man struggled to refuse the request, but the boy pleaded so earnestly that the old man journeyed twenty-seven miles to the scene of the terrible tragedy ang the late one cold spring night he shovelled away the snow and earth, and found Tom\u2019s violin.It was weeks before the young murderer got his \u201cfiddle to work,\u201d as he put it.But the novelty soon wore off and he got tired of it.Then his rheumatism got so bad that his arm refused to move quick- «| ly or his foot to keep step to the rag-time music it was his wont to play.And now the violin lies under the little iron bedstead in his cell and his days are spent in smoking.Sometimes it is almost impossible to see him across the small cell so dense is the emoke when he commences his vigorous puffing.- In a half-hearted way his friends are arculating the petition for a respite but their success so far is anything but encouraging.Much was hoped from the judge\u2019s report to the Minister of Justice but it is thoroughly understood that His Honor has made no recommendation of any kind\u2014his report is simply a review of the evidence.rer CHICAGO MARKETS.lowing quotations from Chicago : April 11.Opg.High.Low.Close.Mea 10s 1 BY eo oe 3% 06 1053-16 106 July .844 814 84° 8% ay 14-55 29%% 20 AY se ee

(See Also Page Five.) Washington, April 11\u2014The President message asks Congress to authorize the President to take measures to secure a termination of hostilities in Cuba, and to secure the esta lishment of a stable government thers, and to use the military , and naval forces of the United States as may be necessary for these purposes.The! President says the only hope of reliet from a condition which can no longer be endured is the enforced pacification of the island.hTe issue is now with Congress, and he awaits its actiom, standing prepared to carry out every obligation imposed on him by the constitution.Spain\u2019s decree for a suspension of hostilities is submitted to Congress for just and careful attention, with the cbserva- tion that 1 tHe measure attains a guccess ful result, \u201cthen our aspirations as a peace-loving people will be realized.If 11 fails, it will be only another justification for our contemplated action.\u201d The Mame incident figures prominently in the message.\u2018The President argues that the wreck of the Maine in Havana harbor shows that Spain is not able to guarantee security to foreign vessels.- Spain has dis: avowed any connection with that disaster, and has offered to submit all the differ ences which may arise from that affair, Halifax, N.S., April 11\u2014The United States cruisers San Francisco and New Orleans, the latter the ship purchased from Brazil, arrived here this morning from Gravesend, England, after a stormy passage of fifteen days.When they sailed from Gravesend it was intended to go to New York, but the bad weather which prevailed aftr the end of the first week at sea prevented the voyage, and it was decided to put into Halifax and ask for orders.The San Francisco and \u2018 New Orleans crossed the Atlantic under the moderate speed of 10 and il knots.this, as no orders to hurry had been received from the Navy Department at Washington.Even this speed could not ' be maintained on the stormy days and | nights through which the ships sailed.Not more than one or two knots could ! be made against the violent gales.Last; Tuesday night in the thick storm the two | chips lost sight of each other.They hove to until morning, and then had mo trouble to find each other.The New Orleans is a fine-looking warrior of the cruiser type, | but is light below decks.She has an im- | mense quantity of powder on board for the United States Government, but her | own munitioms are on board the San Francisco, and she therefore is mot equipped for immediate hostilities.Both ships are getting short of coal, and will take a supply on board here.If they are required to take on a full supply of coal so as to \u2018be prepared for the womst, it will take a couple of days to fill up their bunkers.Orders are expected from Washington some time to-day.The officers of the two cruisers were very eager for news of the | Spanish-American situation.They had heard nothing for two weeks, and were anxious to find out if hostilities had commenced.The latter had something to do with bringing them into Halifax, as in | case of blockade of American ports the two warships, with their light stocks ot coal, might have been in a sorry plight, had they attempted to make New York and the New Orle®i§, Wnable to defend herself, would quickly become the prey of an enemy.The New Orleans is manmed by half the crew of the Sam Francisco, so that the latter also has only half a crew.The San Francisco bears the flag of Coin- modore Howell, and is commanded by Captain Leary.The New Orleans is under the command of Lieut.-Commander Nazro.THE POPE PLEASED.His Holiness Thinks There is a Chance For Peace, a ) London, April 11.\u2014The Rome correspondent of the Daily News says that the Pope, being awakened and furnished with the news of the granting of the armistice, declared that it was one of the greatest pleasures of his latter years, and expressed a confident hope of warding off war, At the Vatican it was pointed out that since the Queen Regent's personal letter to New York, April 11.\u2014A.despatch to the World

ta the Herald froin Washington: says: While the President\u2019s message, which goes to Congress to -day, recommends armed intervention, the word \u201cimmediate,\u201d it is learned, has been stricken out.Not only this, but the President in his comment, on {he new programme of Spain will indicate thet she should be allowed am opportunity to prove her =incerity and ability to establish the new form of selfs government which she mow contemplates, Thus it would appear that Spain has gained at least delay by the new card whidh she has played.McKinley\u2019s wish may, however, not affect Congress, A conference of leading Republican and Democratic senators was held last night at the residence of Senator Allison.to discus the form of resolution to be adopted.After the conference broke up one of thie senatms told me that it had been decided that the resolution should be substantially in these words: \u201cResolved, by the Senate and House of Répresentatives of the United States that the President be and he is hereby empowered and directed to take such action as will bring to an immediate termination the hostilities in Cuba, and to establich a stable Government by and for the people of that island, and that he is hereby empowered and directed to use the land and naval forces of the United States if necessary to bring about that result.\u201d WOODFORD MAY LEAVE.The

Action.prete OPINION OF BUSINESS MEN, Something Must be Done to Keep the Yukon From the U.S, Ottawa, April 11.\u2014(Special.)\u2014It is interesting to move about the Capital and listen to the opinions of men of good busi ness habits and of a thoughtful turn of mind discussing the situation created by the defeat of the Government's Yukon bill by the Senate.Your correspondent to-day talked over the matter with two or three well-informed parties, whose opinions may be regarded as of some value, and he was surprised to find the unanimity of opinion that prevailed.lt was well said by a French philosopher that agreement of true conviction amongst men who have pot formed their opinions by mutual concessions is an evidence of truth, but that agreement, if the opinion is erroneous, without intercourse, is well-miga an im possibility.The parties whose opinions were sought to-day were quite agreed that the Senate had made a great mistake, both in its own interests and the interests ot the couniry.The contract made by the Government with Mesars.Mackenzie & Mann was for furnishing the Yukon country with a railway without placing any burden whatever on the people.The compensation was a grant of land which wes utterly worthless unless made to yield up whatever treasure was in it, and this could only be deme by mining parties, which would give employment to people living in the country, where there was nel- ther food mor clothing except what was brought in from abroad, and where the compensation from the trade would amply reward the Government and the public for all the expenditure made on account of the new possession.The Senate had before its eyes, said these gentlemen, the evidence that the; Americans upon the Pacific coast and their representatives at Washington were frustrating the policy oË the Government, an evidence in itself that that policy was in the interests of the Canadian people, for had it been otherwise the men of San Francisco and Seattle would have no interests im fighting a policy, if they did not feel that it was taking away the trade from themselves and giving it to the ia- habitants of Vancouver and Victoina.That the British Columbia Conservative members and Senators should have voted against a public measure that was calculated to bestow greater advanteges to that Province than anything ever done for it since it came into the Union, not excepting the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, is a matter of astonishment.In fact, such a proceeding wag idiotic, and the impression is growing that 1 would be as well to transfer matters ot public concern of the Province to the representatives of a lunatic asylum, for even in their maddest moments they could not have done the Province a greater injury.The Sengte, since it had performed the great feat of defeating an important Government measure, can hardly be proud ot its achievement, seeing that it gsvas at once called upon to promote an American enterprise that would build up large cities on the Lynn Inlet by a trade that would be exclusively Canadian.The Senate seems to have acted on the assumption that Canada was sufficiently honored by having to bear the cost of governing that country without deriving any advantage from its possession, either through the mines that were being worked or the trade that was carried on by the mining population, What Should Be Done.Your correspondent asked the gentlemen in question whether they thought it wise that the Government should proceed with any further attempt at railway construction this year?It was pointed out to them that a great many friends of the Senate engaged in manufacturing enterprises of trade would not feel the pinch arising from the action of the Senate if the Government undertook to devise some other scheme by which the injury might be repaired, but the reply was that this would be a village policy for a matter of great national concern.When a man is physically weak, when he loses ambition, when his powers flag, when he suffers from the bad habits of his youth, when excesses have exhausted -him\u2014there is still one hope, a \u2018hope full of promise.Itis in the

packages We from Canadian side.They expressed \u2018the opinion that the gold mines of that region were likely to have a permanent value for a long time to come; that cverything indicated immense gold deposits, and that the Government might well modify the scheme by extending the route to Portland Canal or Observatory Inlet, or some other point on Canadian territory on the seaboard.If this were done a large scaport would grow up on Canadian soil either at Fort Simpson or further north, and a Canadian city would at once be called into existence, instead of one at Lynn Inlet, which is in possession of the United States.The Canadian people could, in this way, control the trade and make their way into Alaska as well as the Yukon.They went on to say that the people of Canada must bear the cxpense to maintain law) and order, the cost of subsistence and the great expense of getting men and ammunition of war, food and clothing into the Yukon country, and that a railway would far more than pay the interest upon any subsidy that might be granted for the completion of this road to the seaboard, and that if the Parliament of Canada undertook to get on without a road they would lose the trade and possibly lose the country, and if theÿ did not they would at least be called upon to bear the burdens of governing the country without a railway, and without getting anything from the country to assist them in doing so.In this view all three gentlemen agreed.They said what subsidy, in addition to the land grant, would clear the extra cost in getting in supplies for the maintenance of the police and military force that might be sent there.It was pointed out to them that the view of the House of Commons might differ as widely from theirs on this question as did the view of the Senate in the recent discussion, but the answer was that the House of Commons was not ea- pable of taking so narrow and shortsighted a view; at all events there were men amongst them with sufficient foresight and sufficiently well-informed to protect them against throwing away the first opportunity that Canada has had since the Grand Trunk Railway was built of securing a large addition annually to its population.The current of immigration now flows to the Yukon country, and it will do so from various directions, and even if the Yukon were to be blotted out in twenty years, and deserted, the influence which it has given and exacted over the country in drawing population in that direction will have filled up British Columbia and the Northwest from Dauphin Lake to the source of the Peace River.\u201cThis,\u201d said one of the gentlemen, in a very emphatic manner, \u201cis Canada's opportunity, and it remains to be seen whether the House of Commons and ihe present Government will appreciate the situation and are equal to the occasion.\u201d MARRIED THE CHILD HE HAD CARED FORA Romantic Ending to an Incident of 1867.Ottawa, April 11-\u2014A most romantic marriage recently took place in Lowe Township, which is a few miles from this city on the line of the Gatineau Valley.Thirty years ago Mr.and Mrs.Newton, with a baby daughter, came out from Lreland and located up the Gatineau.Accompanying them on' their voyage out was a young man named Matthews, who was also on his way to the new country to seek his fortune.Matthews proved a good friend to the Newtons, for when they were both too ill to look after their, child, he took the entire charge of the little one and cared for it until the Canadian shores were reached.Here the new-made friends parted.Some thirty years passed before they again met, which happened under accidental circumstances, the outcome of ¥hich was a marriage, the contracting parties being Matthews and the child whom he had, thirty years ago, so tenderly nursed on the long voyage out from the Old Country.Matthews, after separating from the Newtons, found employment in the woods and had been on the Gatineau for some time.While coming down on a trip a short time ago, he called at a farmhouse to obtain some refreshments, when, to his amazement, he discovered the inmates were his old friends.He made a short stay, won the heart of the daughter, with the result as stated.CECIL RHODES IN LONDON His Presence Starts Rumors About His Plans in South Africa, New York, April 10.\u2014The presence ot Cecil Rhodes in London has given rise to much comment as to South African affairs.The opinion scems to be general among the London correspondents of the leading New York papers that Mr.Rhodes\u2019 visit to England bodes ill for President Kruger and tle Transvaal Republic.The Sun has the following from its London corre spondent on the subject :\u2014 The report that Portugal was coquetting with Germany in connection with Dela- goa Bay has beem denied, but there was sufficient truth in it to induce Eng'and to make enquiries at Lisbon as to the reasons for Governor Albuquerque\u2019s presence in Berlin.The enquiries, which were instituted at the instance of Mr.Ohamber- lain, elicited a satisfactory statement from the Portuguese Government.Ever since Emperor William\u2019s famous telegram to President Kruger, Mr.Chamberlain has entertained a s:rong belief that Germany has made the continuance ot Transvaal inWpendence a part of the German Imperial policy.If that be the case, Kngland and Germany will come into collision before long.It is as certain as Brit ish determination can.make it that the Boer Republic will cease to exist within the next two years.That is Mr.Chamberlain's policy, and he wants Delagoa Bay in British bands before that time comes.If Portugal wiil voi cell, the British Cabinet, in the opin- on of the Colonial Secretary, ought to pick a quarrel with Portugal, and seize ule place as the prize of war.Other members +! the Cabinet agree with Mr, Chamberlain, and public opinion is being educated in the belief of the necessity for such an act of aggression.Mr.Rhodes, who is still the virtual dictator in South Africa, is now in England, Chamberlain, i CORNWAL NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.SEALED TENDERS, addressed to the undersizned, and endorsed, \u201cTender for Improvements at Upper Entrance of

H-oE-+H- secure the federation of Cape Colony, Natal and Rhodesia, for the better securing of British dominance in South Africa.He calculates that with this strong federation, not on racial lines, but on a clear basis of British supremacy, the Orange Free State and the Transvaal must soon be attracted into a powerful South African Anglo-Dutch confederation under the British flag.With this end in view, Mr.Rhodes is now submitting to Mr.Chamberlain important proposals for Imperial co-opera- tion, not, however, on Jameson\u2019s lines.\u201cThat,\u201d said Mr.Rhodes, the other day to an intimate friend, \u201cwas too horrible a mess to be repeated.\u201d Not without significance is the fact that the Queen has just placed one of her Highland residences at the disposal of the Empress of Germany for this summer.The Kaiser himself will probably visit his grandmother for the first time since the luckless telcgram to President Kruger.Indeed, everything just now suggests that England and Germany are find- mg afresh how much they really have in common in their foreign policy.Harold Frederick says: \u2014 \u201cRecent reports respecting the German intrigues to do England out of the promised reversion of Delagoa Bay are denied so clumsily that they only set this country to thinking more seriously and wondering how soon a scuffle may come to people with their hands already overfilled.This somewhat worrying aspect of South Africa matters was relieved by a pleasant surprise in the form of a spontaneous offer from Natal to provide, at the côst of the colony, 12,000 tons of coal annually to the Queen\u2019s ships.Although cautious naval crities are anlready smilingly suggesting that there may be some ; | difficulty in getting this coal on board the and has had secret interviews with Mr.\u2018 ships at Durban in all weathers, )I find the Mr.Rhodes iv managing people mightily pleased at the practical the press part of the business here and tn patriotism which distinguishes this pro- South Africa, and shrewd men, who know | posal.Nata! cannot brag of having much what is going o., declare that when thinzs are temporarily quieted own in the Far Kast, the Transvai-Delagoa-Bay business will rapidly come to a head for settlement in accordance with the policy of the jingo section of the British Cabinet.The London correspondent of the Evening Post says :\u2014 Mr.Cecil Rhodes ie keeping very quiet in London, especially shunning reporters.Yet, it is understood that he has great intentions in his present visit to London, and is quite confident of the success of the progressive movement in Cape Colony, of which he is the leader.Me will assume the Premiership of Cape Colony, and next vear intends to make a decided move, for which he has lone been working, to i i money ov many men, but it éértainly has an casily available stock of coal, without which even German war vessels find it diffieult to \u2018demonstrate\u201d\u2019 This little | South African colenv has got hold of the notion that vietorv in the next naval war | will be on the side of the best filled conl ; bunkers, and possibly it is not far wrong.\u201d BK your grocer fog i For
