foreman at the workshop of the material delivered to the: superintendent, amounting to $100.27, has bern entered in sahy of the accounts produced as yet (Jan.25, 1899).against our superimten- dent.These articles .are chargeable to him personally, although paid for already by the city.\u2019 Mr.O.Dufresne, city cemptroller, then proccéded to give evidence.Mr.Dufresne testified to.the effect that he had acted upon a resolution passed by the Water Committee.Mr.Laforest\u2019s account was given to him by Mr.Fallon.Each item in that account was verified with the books of the department, and thé différences were noted in \u2018his report.Thére was an item of $86 in_ the storekeeper\u2019s book, and not in the \u2018accounts.The storekeeper\u2019s book was checked, and a slight difference was ; \u2018discovered between it and the accounts \u2018produced.\"Those reports were now all before the committee.; Mr.Laforest was afforded: an opportunity of explaining the discrepancies before-he (Mr.Du- fresne) arrived at the* conclusions em- \u201cbraced.in the report.-In reply: to Aid.Gagnon, Mr.Dufr-sne.der the \u2018influence than twenty years seniority whom he | | The-boat-came- ul.with ptropble, « SCOTSMAN \u2019.DISASTER., ve 2 T4 SES a STORIES OF Tux SECOND: OFFICER oe AND.QUARTER-MASTER \u201cAGREE: dey was.| thet \u2018owing * to \u201ccurrents or sone \u201cother: unexplained cause the position of the vessel was misjudgéd dooord- ing to.the observations \u2018and reckoning of the captain and - officers: which vivtüally agreed.At midnight they \"estimated | - they \u201cwere \u2018then\u2019 fifty-five miles off de Isle ,which they.expected to reach wt 4 a.m, when in reglity they must bave been much nearer, as after: running \u2018twenty-nine miles they strick™.in.thé slraits at two a.m.\u201d \u2018No whistle or horn was.heard.As for the looting, the passengers\u2019 property, after the- -disaster, witness.said that he saw naîte of it, but he noticed | that some of the hands were dightly un] cof .liquor and \u2018by \u2018the- captain\u2019s orders he locked up the: spirit | room.Mt.Surges, Montreal manager of the ne ,wWas present in the t during the proceedings - yesterday.oo THE SECOND OFFICER'S STORY.\u201c Jobn Davies \u2018testified \u2018that he \u2018was.sec - ond officer \u2018of the steamship\u2019 \u2018Scotsnian;* and had \u2018been :in- the ship for about af year.He obtained.a -master\u2019s certifi- | cate in.Dundee in March, 1894.He was.on \u2018watch with- the fourth ing officer from midnight the night of the | accident.\u2018He.expidined that he \u2018steadied |- the ship by standard compass,\u2019 while sie | was steered by the.wheelhouse.£OMPAss, rich s varied © \u2018as.much, as Vhhcelhouse cotripas clear.and -they-could miles off.At.2:10 the alarm way ring: to, stan by.This was .the \u2018eaptairs.\u2026 \u201corders.| About that time the speed was reduced | tô\u2018six or seven knots;

what may be called the storm centre, of Natal.Accordirig to the \u2018Army.and Navy Gazette,\u2019 the country is gradually\u2019 drying up, the Klip river, which Hows: through Ladysmith, has dwindled to, a shallow stream.During the - months hate and houses on the: veld are\u2019 provided with lightning conductors, and the diggers put soda water bottles on, the points of the tent poles.The lightning | is described as awful, the wind tremen- dotis and the rain falls in torrents,\u201d \u2018that penetrate and drench everything.\u2018 During this stormy season the roads are \u2018dreadful,\u2019 and the changes of teïnpera- ture extreme from parching heat to! bitter cold.Altogether, the picture given of the veldt at this season of the \u2018Year is about as dismal as can be imagined.THE WAR SITUATION UP TO THIS MORNING.The important feature of to-day\u2019s, news is the withdrawal of General Yule and: his force of four thousand mien from Dundee in the face of à very much superior numerical force of Boérs under General Joubert.It appears from the very scant despatches published in.London that General Yule stärted from Dundee very early on Monday morning, leaving behind him at Dundee the: British wounded at Glencoe, dong.whom ig Nireesed General, Bymons, who, at \u2018last.reports, was doing well.It is not doutited'that the Boers will: follow British\u201d example dnd treat the Wounded well, and, besides, the Transvaal is a party to the Geneva convention, which secures.good treatment for wounded enemies.According to the London \u2018Mail's\u2019 despatch, General Yule\u2019s forces reached\u201d Beith, about fifteen miles south of Dundee, on Monday: night, having had à hard day's marching over an alpitie pass crossing the spur of the Big- garsberg mountains.He was expected to reach the Waschbank river, twelve miles from Beith, in the direction of Ladysmith, about noon on Tuesday, and the Sunday river the same evening.General White, at Ladysmith, with seven thousand .troops, .hearing of General Yaule\u2019s withdrawal, and anticipating apparently that the Free State Boer trooms to the west of Ladysmith would attempt to intercept General Yule\u2019s march, started, out on Tuesday along thé Ladysmith and Newcastle road, which runs on the west side of the \"railway, and found the Orange Free Stat2.troops strongly posted seven miles out , apparenily with the intention of crossing the country to the north of Ladysmith, and r-aching the mentioned disastrous storms \u2018af iid, 1 tain and lightding; are\u201d frequenti i | General -Cronje unde 2k £ Eadystaith roud i in time to.attack General Yule.General White posted his force to the east of the positien of the Boers and shelled them until he silenced their gun west.Satisfied (hat be had secured | eral White did not carry the battle beyond dn artiflery duél.In the meantime General Yile does not seem to have put in an appearance at Sunday river on\u2018 Tugsday evening, and thé Imperial Government seems to have taken it for granted that he went into camp on the Waschbank river, and was joined there by General White.- A later despatch re- .ceivéd.from General White shows that \"he \u2018had mot, so \u2018far as the.despatch is published,\u201d éven heard of General Yuie's arrival at the Waschbank river, let alone Joined Him there.\u2018The London \u2018Mail\u2019s\u2019 gorrespondence - merely \u2018reports that he exation as expected.to.each Sunday river and \u2018thie | join General White at Ladysmith © yes te p ap gH EH i rnqeb'ftérday.or to-day.\"The government \u2018 \u2018did the \u2018feet of any friends they migit Have: \u2018not yesterday.inform the country whether General Yule had been heard of, as he \u2018must have been if he had been as near Ladysmith \u2018 as - the Sunday river, of even | the Waschbank.There is, of course; the possibility, nay the probability, that the.Boer: forces, which are mounted infantry, and therefore very swift, Have been able to overtake General Yule between Beith and the Waschbank rivers, and perhaps at a disadvantage.Beith is about twelve miles from the Wasch- bank river, and the Waschbank river is about seven miles from the Sunday river, which is about fifteen miles from Ladysmith.Of course, if General Yule were attacked by the Boers he would, if possible, send back messéngers to Gen éral White asking for reinforcements.pl \u2018The situation will probably be made clear by the government\u2019s announcement to partiament to-day.there.id a good.deal of anxiety, as it is- feared the government is keeping back despatches showing that General Yule has been overtaken and attacked.The Orange Free State forces have moved in from Acton Homes, Bester\u2019s Station and -Blaauwbank to within a.few miles of Ladysmith, as is' shown by General | White's s engaging one column only-seven tir of Ledysmith.\u201cAt Kimber , and-it is-said that is about to reinforue them: Mafeking, where General Cronje\u2019s forces were, is over two hundred * and thirty miles from Kimberley, | so that.if the Boers await his arrival to days \u2018before it can be delivered.\u201cColes burg, which is twelve miles south of the Orange.Free State border, was menaced ty.the Free State Boers, but its capture was not reported up to last evening.The reader of these columns should keep in mind that our daily estimate of the situation is always based on news which is not the latest which appears;in our news columns, and the reader may therefore have to revise our statement of the latest facts by what he finds there.mme MR.BOURASSA\u2019S ERRORS.Mr.Belcourt.\u201chas given thé right - -an- ewer to \u2018Mr.Bourassa, who has resigned his seat in parliament because the course of the Canadian Government in enliéting troops for Africa was unconstitutional.The objection of Mr.Bourassa was no doubt a valid one in theory.It cannot be said that under our constitution authority does ziot rest- with the crown to call out an .adequata force agüinst any emergency, whether that emergency be called à peril or not ; but it is equally a prinéiple of our constitution that usage is taw, and the fact that.this country has never before sent a military foree abroad on an imperial errand, or- even consideted the matter, estgblighes a usage contrary to the, course of the government.Under \u2018such.circumstances the right of departure from usage Io\u2019 with parliament.\u201cThe British Government, in calling out the aiiny reserve, called parliament together at once to vote the supplies.Sir Wilfrid Laurier has, we think, been very gratuitously vilified because he did not undertake unusual, unlimited and unesked expenditures upem our Canadian .contingent, which might very well await the action of parliament.® We think that Mr.Bourassa i is right in his theory that Sir Wilkrid \u2018Laurier, in doing such an unusual thing\u2019 as he has dome without the mandate of parliament, trespaesed on parliament's prerogative.But we think Mr, Belegurt \u2018still more right in pointing out that where there is an evidently overwhelming and drove a portion of them away to the | meet.General Yule from attack by them, Gen- In the meantime © make their attack it will be four or five | > | piiie.\u2018opinion, and where the vast majority of both parties are strongly \u201ccommitted to a given action, a government There is no surrender of liberty, as Mr.Bourassa alleges, The right of parliament to decide whether we shall .go to war or not is in no degree lessened.If parliament disapproves of what Sir \u2018Wilfrid \u2018has done it can easily adminis ter such a scathing rebuke as would very effectively prevent a repetition of the \"offence.-On Mr.Bourassa\u2019s Boston war cry, \u2018No taxation without representation,\u201d he is still less to be complimented than on his conclusions as to the essential constitutionality of the government\u2019s course.To hold that a country that enjoys the protection of another should contribute nothing to the dost of that protection, and that men enjoying the privilege of British citizenship should let the cost of \u2018that privilegs\u201crést entirely on a Iimit- ed number of their fellow citizens, smacks, as we have frequently taken the liberty to point out, vary much of the spirit of the pauper.But how far Mr.Bourassa\u2019s assumption that we are suffering from taxation without representation is out of harmony with the real facts! We in Canada manage our own affairs as we will, and Britain pays the heaviest item of the expenss, We maintain our own quarrels with the greatest powers on earth without misgiving, and we bate nothing of our claims because Great Britain thinké them unimportant, and Great Britain,bears the entailed by standing by us to the last inch of our rights, while we pay nothing for the maintenance of the power which makes her arm strong to emite.Verily, as the Ottawa \u2018Journal\u2019 says, this is representation without taxation as far as Canada is conçerned.Great Britain, for her part, bears taxation without äny representation in the counsels of the power which makes the terms.What would the wheat of Manitoba be worth to-day if it were not for the policing of the seas by fleets for which Canada pays nothing ?We do not know how far 1ution for whieh they voted pale \\eript of hé lobar of resignation; we are inclined to think that when the \u2018question reaches parliament his lone voice crying in the wilderness will find few echoes.>.NOT A SURRENDER, The government, acting upon repre- séntations made to it by goms of the most influential grain merchants, and has granted to American vessels the privilege of engaging in the Canadian coasting trade for thé remainder of the present season.Because of this reasonable concession, under present conditions, the Opposition journals are out im full cry, with headings denominating this privilege as \u2018Another surrender to the United States,\u201d \u2018Sacrifice of Canadian interests,\u2019 \u2018Conserve our shipping interests,\u201d \u2019 and so forth.Thesa journals claim to speak on behalf of the Canadian \u2018tréms- pansion \u201cof Canadian shipping.this agitation.there.is much dy\" and it~ regard of facts.It was pointed out in these columns a short time ago that the expaneion of the Canadian freight-carry- mensions ; that it had only grown in value, go far as the Lake Superior traffic is concerned, from $2,089,400 in 1887 to-$2,408,900 in -1808, -or an -increase of only about $400,000, in eleven years ; whereas, in the same period, the value of American tonnage grew from $17,684,- 550 to $45,199,800 in the same period, and that the proportion.of freight carried through the Sault Ste.Marie canals by the Canadian vessels decreased from: seven \u2018pércent in 1887 to \u2018two and one-fifth percent in - 188.Dring this period of eleven years there was no competition with Canadian | vessels for the home trade, and it| had\u2019 plenty of change to expand if it had a mind to, and \u2018to state that its ex-{\" pantion will now be retarded becauie |\u201d American vessels are given: the privilege to carry some of our grain for a \u201cperiod | of about six weeks is unqualified .non, | sense, The Montreal Corn Exchange | Association\u2019 regiiéstod the\u201d \u2018government to\u2019) take this diction sévéral \u201cyeirs 280, because it found {liat it was impossible to! ship the grain -of the- North-West this way with the: fuadequate end inferior | is warranted ih sesuming the approval.of parliament when patliament shall: whole cost and diplomatic disadvantage | Mr.Bourassa\u2019s electors may have un-, dergiood the pros and cons of the reso- being itself persuaded of the necessity, |.portation business, and preténd that the |;

the benefit as far as possible confined to our Canadian ports and routes.Ship- \u201cment this fall from Fort William meant that the grain would go to.Montreal for export, otherwise it would mean that the advantage would be almost exclusively to Buffalo.Sef COMBINE IN BRASS.New York, Oct.25\u2014The announcement is made that there is to be a cory bination of the large sheet brass and copper concerns.The combination will include the works of Walldre & Son, Ansonia, recently bought by the Coe Brass Company, of Torrington;
