the Mayor of Montreal, and others.Invitations had been extended to the President of the Royal Canadian Academny, who was present, and to academicians in Montreal; to the office-bearers of the Art Association, to the Canadian Society of | Civil Engineers, and to the Rennaissance Club;

but after that time the fine or its alternative imprisonment should be rigidly enforced.A small \u2018tiff\u2019 aroee over a motion made by Ald.Rainville for the adoption of a report of the Finance Committee recommending the increase by $100, to come cut of the reserve fund, in the salary of Mr.Larochelle of the Recorder's Court Ald.Ames contended in his argument tineau protested vigorously against using the reserve fund for any such purpose, and met with strong opposition from Aldermen Lareau, Roy and others, who claimed that a man named Burns had had his salary increased out of the reserve fund some time ago.Aldermen Ames, Stevenson and Mar- that the increase should be charged to revenue.Before the report could be adopted it would have to be sent back and made legal.+ Ald.Rainville pointed out that he was werely the mouthpiece of the committee in this matter, and: suggested that as the report was really one in which the Po- dice Committee was interested, becance i} Svas they \u201cwho had asked that Lero-: chelle should get bis increase, they might + \u2018the repänt-Fhis time.the absence of the Police Committee chairman.= It was then resolved to adont the report of the Finance Committee, on the motion of Ald.Ames, but that for the future guidance of the council the opinion of the city attorneys be obtained, ascertaining whether the increase of salariés of Burns and Larcchelle can legally be taken out of the reserve fund.Ald.Stevenson dissented from adopting the report in its present form.Ald.Ames said that if he had been present when the vote was taken for the increase of Mr.Burns's salary he would have opposed it just the same as he had done in this case, and his whole reason for acting now was simply to keep the council from acting illegally.The order of the day called for the ccrsideration of a motion for a by-law providing for the payment of the water rates in four instalments, Ald.Ames emphasized the importance of this matter and thought it would be well to deliberate a little longer on the subject; for instance, they might make it the first order of the day for Lhe next meeting.He afterwards discovered that notice of this motion had not been given in proper time.It was not too late to do so now and Ald.Martineau at once gave due notice.It was resolved to refer to the Mayor a communication intimaiting that the Lord Mayor of Dublin would arrive in the city on Nov.6, and that some ar rar gements should be made to accord a formel civic reception to the distingaish- ed visitor and those who would accompany him.SIR LOUIS DAVIES.ON THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY QUESTION.We Sir Louis Davies arrived on Sunday from England, and stopped at the Windsor Hotel, leaving yesterday for Ottawa.In referring to the Alaskan boundary question, the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, said that certain American correspondents of English papers had succeeded in prejudicing English public opinion against Canada\u2019s case to some extent, but he had been able to remove false impressions by publishing the real facts of the case, and by interviewing the members of the British Government.Th?latter is now thoroughly seized of the cass for the Dominion.A temporary armngement has been made, the minister said, pending a permanent sevtlement.He had made three propositions on the part of Canada\u2014un- conditional arbitration, a reference on next year.the lines of the Venezuelan arbitration, 4 © Colonial Housou, era ee D °, ve 0 oo 9 + roles HENRY MORGAN & COo_o om mom TAILORING DEPT.All garments made in first-class style, only the best Oodle One pepe Phillips Square.mas AA San AAA pm = 0 al collection ot fine West of and varied, and the styles er pair, less 5 percent off for Le Er tr Sop Pele folie | recelve prompt and Careful Attention, OUR GAS LOGS Are made by a Quaker, Built on honor And Sold on merit.- logs and have ANDIRONS at all prices.© -.THE G.R.LOCKER Co., \u2019 1749 Notre Dams Street, NO SUBSTITUTING !

SHIPPING COMBINE.The latest thing in the way of big combinations is reported from Chicago, where a few concerns having control of the necessary capital have been buying up and combining all the lake vessels and tugs with a view to organizing a supreme power in the shipping trade.The movement, which has been going on quietly since the beginning of the present year, is now referred to as an accomplished fact.Nearly one hundred and forty ships, not counting tugs, schooners and passenger boats, have passed into the hands of the trust.Of the one hundred and eighty-seven steel ships engaged in general lake.traffic, fifty- eight are reported as having changed owners to the advantage of the same combine.Two large companies are mentioned as being engaged in this business of seeking to get control of this immense trade, and the prospect of their uniting is said toe immediate.Marine men who have been interviewed on the sub- \"| ject are, however, of the opinion that the sales.of steel vessels to these combinations are practically over.Every owner of such tonnage has been importuned to sell, and big prices were offered them.But they have held on with a view to sharing next year\u2019s big profits, since the great iron and steel concerns have chartered a large part of the steel vessels for the transhipment of ore from the head of Lake Superior to Lake Erie.Vessel agents at Chicago are troubled over their inability to get boats to carry grain from Chicago and coal from the ports of Lake Erie.As a result of these changes the trade of Chicago is expected to suffer, unless all-rail rates to the seaboard keep at the low level of the present 8eason.\u2018 THE WAR SITUATION.The operations ef General White's forces at Ladysmith on Sunday \u2018and yesterday resulted in severe losses, which, it is to be feared, will restore the confidence of the Boers in their own superior fighting qualities, will win This mornimg at a Jate hopr he was in a critical cond tion.:

Africa, and will elate Great Britain's enemies in Europe.It appears that as a preliminary move to yesterday\u2019a reconnaissance General White on Sunday evening despatched two regiments of infantry, the Irish Fusiliers and the Gloucesters, with a mountain battery, to take up a position among the hills on the British left, which must have been toward the north-west side of the town.The force seems to have come into touch with the enemy the saine evening, and in the night the mules bearing the mountain batteries on their backs stampeded.Probably it was in trying to recover this battery and owing to the consequent confusion that the regiments got into the midst of the enemy, and it appears that after a hard struggle they were compelled to capitulate.The loss of upwards of eighteen hundred men is a heavy one out of a total force of fifteen thousand men, surrounded by an enemy of twenty or twenty-five thousand.The apparently unpremeditated reconnaissance in force carried out yesterday by General White does not appear, from the very sober account of the affair cabled by the \u2018Times\u2019s\u2019 correspondent, to have been very successful.The writer is evidently of the opinion that the Boers managed to seize the me advantageous positions after the fight began, and made the best use of them, so that when the battle fully developed the British forces found it best to withdraw, which they did in unison as a whole, and evidently in fine order, but without having accomplished much, unless merely to ascertain the temporary position of the Boer forces accurately.One very great advantage seems, however, to have been gained by the British.A naval artillery force succeeded within a very short time in one, if not both, of the big siege guns in an advantageous position.These big | guns of the Boers are of longer range | than any of the guns of General \u2018White's: force, but the British artillery,\" \u2018superior in other respects and better servéd; apparently maintains an easy superiority.This is really important.\u201cIn view of thé results of yesterday\u2019s action, it appears that it is unwise for a British force allôw itself to be drawn into attacking» very much superior force of thé\u2018 Bokrs posted among the rocky hills which.seem to form the battleground on each occasion everywhere throughout South Africa.\u2018is apparently maintained successfully, according to latest accounts.Colonel Baden-Powell seems to be able not.only to hold his own as yet, but to inflict injury upon the enemy.It seems impossible that his little force should be able to hold the fort until relieved.It is reported that the Boers around Kimberley have been reinforced, and now number eight thousand men, and that they are about to begin the siege of the town in earnest.The British forces there seem, however, to be confident of defend: ing the place successfully until relievea.rived at Capetown, and doubtless his arrival, which will be regarded as the beginning of the aggressive campaign of the British with sufficient forces, will serve to lighten the depression caused by the reverse at Ladysmith, and perhaps to discourage any tendency of the Dutch couple of weeks, though, before the British forces will be strengthened at the seaports of Capetown and Durban, and move can be made.In the meantime, Boer methods, will be able to direct the future movements of the British forces both in Cape Colony and Natal, and he will be able to decide as to the strength of the total reinforcements necessary for the very serious work in hand.FELL FROM HIS

a short distance from North Toronto that the engineer was not on board.The train was stopped and subsequently the engineer came walking along the track in a dazed condition.He is unable to give any account of what happened.He recollected that he was on the engine with oil can in hand at Lea- side Junction, and knows nothing où what happened between that time and when he was picked up.He had some

RALLY HELD LAST NIGHT ADDRESSED BY SIR CHARLES TUPPER AND OTHERS.Ottawa, Oct.31.\u2014Sir Charles Tupper addressed a meeting last evening In Harmony Hall under the auspices of the The hall was well filled and the Opposition leader was given an attentive hearing.With the unanimous consent of the meeting the following telegram was despatched to catch the outgoing volunteers on board the \u2018Ssrdinian\u2019 at Father Point: \u2018Sir Charles Tupper and a large public meeting assembled at Ottawa tonight wish you all bon voyage and success in your brave and patriotic mission to -sustain the honor of Canada and maintain the unity and power of the British Empire.John Coates, chairman.\u2019 Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s speech was in its subject matter very much what he has been delivering in the west.He claims ed credit for forcing the government into sending the Canadian volunteers to the Transvaal and denounced Mr.Tarte for what he considered as disloyal tac- ! tics.\"He felt certain, moreover, that the \u2018last shred of his advice would be followed when the House met and the government announcad its determination to take an appropriation for paying the men while on \u2018his service in South Africa.Mr.Tarte had not long since asserted that he (Sir Charles) had in a former day maintained that it was not the place of Canada to become embroiled in European wars.He wanted to give that statement an unqualified de- rial and to say that his position was just what it had been for the last thir- ty-three years.The baronet asserted \u2018with confidence that the policy of thé government had been to call on a general election without delay though he allow- led that that decision might have been | altered by the events in connection with ithe sending of the volunteers to South \"Africa.He claimed the credit to his party for the three large achievements -of our history\u2014the attainment of federation, the building of the C.P.R.and the enactment of the National Policy.He charged corruption and expressed the confident hope that the next election would see.the government of the day i swept out of office, for its record of incapacity, corruption and maladministra- \u201ction.r: Mr.Clarke Wallace in a brief speech \u201cheld that to-day the leader of the Opposition wag the man representing the real | views of-the people, instead of the Prime ister.{ as a French-Canadian he stood on the into \u2018the adoption of the sending of the trcops.As a French-Canadian he could say that his fellow-countrymen could count it à pleasure to stand beneath the British flag as they had already done \u2018on former pecasions.The Hon.Peter White urged that this \u2018was a time for Conservatives to stand shoulder to ghoulder as.there was never a time when united effort would help them as it would to-day.Mr.Foster spoke of the Hon.Mr.Tarte and gave it as his opinion that rthe French leader was far from being a He had shown himself a coward in the tactics he had followed in trying to hide beneath the mantle of \u2018two thousand Frenchmen to escape the whipping he well merited for his stand \u2018on the question of the contingent, instead of taking it as a slap in his own face he would drag.the whole French b people into the belief that an insult has been put upon them.The members of the government were making a sorry \u2018spectacle, he thought, before the country with their varying views om this matter of the troops.The meeting was closed with cheers for the Queen, Sir Charles Tupper and the chairman and the Canadian rcontin- gent.\u2014\u2014\u2014t\u2014\u2014 TWO WELL WON VICTORIES.\u2014\u2014 HOW TORONTO PROHIBITIONISTS SUCCEEDED IN A DOUBLE HARD FOUGHT CONTEST.\u2014\u2014 Toronto, Oct.28.\u2014Our exciting anti- {license contest in the mouthern part of this district has ended in a triumph for the prohibitionists.The contest was marked with the characteristic persis- tency of the liquor men.It was only af- | ter many months of renewed attempts to secure a renewal of the license that the overwhelming temperance sentiment of the locality triumphed.For some time the leading temperance people of the vicinity had been considering ways in which to rid the neighbor- heod .of north Bathurst street of the barroom on the corner of that street and Davenport road, and the adjoining retasl Hquor shop.They accordingly canvassed the district with anti-license petitions which were duly presented to the license commissioners.These petitions contained the names of nearly mine-tenths of the resident electors.So umanimous and strong a protest was too emphatic for the commissioners to ignore.The board in consequence cancelled the retail Jiquor-shop license.The hotelkeener was given three months to find a new place for his bueiness.This he found prectically impossible and at the expira- jon of that time he again appealed for a renewal.Being backed by a wealthy brewer, Mr.Robert Davies, the license- Mr.Bergeron was proud.to say that platform announced by Sir: Charles ups \"per, which had forced the government | holder was able to call in the aid of the best counsel procurable, including even the county Crown attorney, Mr.Dewart, whose political and official influence was used to its fullest extent.For a time i# looked as if the license commissioners would succumb to the influences brought to bear by the liquor men.The provincial attorney of the liquor dealers, Mr.James Harverson, also appeared at one of the license board meetings.The.temperance men, led chiefly by Dr.Page, Mr.Headerwon, Mr.Jno.Wanless and Mr.J.B.Marshall, bora- barded the commissioners with new pe titions, waited on them by deputation, held indignation meetings, protested to the Ontario Government through the Hon.S.C.Biggs, and finally served a round robin on the local member of the legislature demanding his aid in securing the reognition of the majority petition of the electors.The result is the closing of the hotel bar-room and the freeing of a considerable district from the licensed liquor tref- ce.An incidental result has been the organization during the contest of a strong Royal Templar council which will be vigilant in watching to see that any attempt to secure the renewal of a license there is promptly defeated.[EE ST.ANDREW'S PROTESTANT CEMETERY.(To the Editor of the \u2018Witness.\u2019) Sir,\u2014Having experienced many hours of solemn pleasure in the old burial ground at St.Andrew\u2019s, I was much teuched by the sympathetic notice of this sacred spot which appeared in your issue of yesterday.Assuredly, if one desired, after \u2018life\u2019s fitful fever,\u201d an ideal resting place\u2014calm and hallowed, removed from the vain noises of the world, with the noble pines to murmur a con- sient requiem, and the Ottawa to soothe with its tender music, St.Andrew's would be the choice of every simple nature.Situated upon the crest of a gently rieing hill, the graveyard overlooks a stretch of beautiful country; the Ottawa flows past, seemingly at the feet, while a noble pine wood, always solemn and majestic; bends over the graves of a simple people, not a few of whom were the Fioneers of the County of Argenteuil.While there is, here and there, evidence of loving care, many of the graves are quite neglected.Natural growths have ranged unhindered, and it 18 a work of some difficulty to deaipher the inscriptions on the headstones.But this abandonment to nature constitutes the solemn pleasure of a visit to the spot.Here are no \u2018formal petierns, not the carefut pomp of pride, but \u2018God\u2019s acre\u2019 in.all its simplicity .and naturalness.The oldest graves are of the men who, when the: teréd.upou.the work of.elégrance, lEving \u2018in \u2018obscurity, separated.from friends; toiling on to leave an inheritance to their children, forgotten of those they left behind in the Old Country, suffering every privation, and dying when others had entered upon the fruit of their labors.Affecting in the last degree are the inscriptions.Here is a dimple piety, a child-like trust in God; something of wistfulness is in the homely verse, as though the sense of loneliness oppressed, but the unfaltering trust in a loving Father and a better world in which there shall be fullness of joy, \u2018when the morning breaks and the shadows flee away,\u2019 is etched into the simple memor- jals with a sure hand.In the summer, when the grasses ard natural blooms are at their best estate, and the pine tops bend over the graves, and the air is filled with exquisite odors, the sense of calm, of rest and spimtual exaltation are inexpressibie.Mention has been made of the roots of the pines which spread across the road.They spread also into the graveyard itself, and obstruct the progress of grave-making.One might fancy of those tenacious and spreading roots what Tennyson fancied of the yew\u2014 \u2018Old yew, which graspest at the stones, That name the underlying dead, Thy fibres net the dreamless head, Thy roots are wrapped about the bones.\u2019 After church on Sunday it is the habit to pay a visit to the old graveyard, and groups disperse and talk about the pio-\u2019 neers of the country who wait the summons of God.The newly made grave is lovingly tended with flowers.The, children, unconscious of loss, pull the wild flowers that grow along the ne glected ways.The pensive charm, however, of the place is the pine wood\u2014 dark, solemn, and majestic.This, whether in the noon of summer or the deso- Jation of winter, draws the spirit.The noble trees are to the seeming, immemorially old.They seem, as they bend in the breeze over the simple graves, to possess the secrets after which men strive in vain.They are too strong and sure to be sorry for human ill, but as the eve glances from the white shafts to the tall dark sentinels close by, one feels how meet it is that the dead should rest under the shadow of this noble pine wood, which haunts the heart at once with the sense of delight and pain.I count seventeen members of one family, all lying side by side; I note the ripe age of the pioneer who did his devoir and now sleeps the long sleep; I see an oak growing at the feet of my friend, who loved the English oak in life, and who never cut an oak tree upon his farm\u2014 \u2018Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire ; Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed, Or waked to ecstacy the living lyre.\u2019 W.L.Montreal, Oct.31, 1899, ere rE pe RE whole, county was, a dense forest, en: A PEEP AT « STRATHCONA.THE M.D.S.F\u2019S§ NEW HOSPITAL SHIP.Some interest was caused last week among the holiday-makers on the pier at Bournemouth, by a visit from the \u2018Strathcona,\u2019 one of the hospital ships of the Mission to De2p Sea Fishermen.Tle \u2018Strathcona\u2019 is one of six such vessels belonging to the Mission.She is a trim little screw st:amer, quite new, and des tuned for the service of the fishermen employad along the four hundred miles of the Labrador coast.On her bows she carries the words, \u2018Heal the sick, which briefly describes her chief mission.Those who resnonded to the invitation to inspect the boat ware shown a great deal that was interesting by the deputation secretary, Mr.Frank Wilson.Every inch of space in the vessel is put to tthe best use.The \u2018hospital,\u2019 though smaller than an ordinary single bedroom, will accommodate four men, and coa- tains two cosy swing cots and two fixed berths.After his hard life on a fishing- smack the fisherman might think it almost worth a broken leg to be an in- urate of this comfortable \u2018ward.There is a Rontgen-ray apparatus on board, and an operating table is soon to be fixed.The \u2018surgery\u2019 is a large cupboard, in which something of everything that is necessary in medical work, is kept.For part of the year the doctor works in a temperature of 20 degrees below zero, and the ship being then icebound, he visits his patients by means of a sledge and dogs.Here are some figures which will give an idea of the usefulness of these ships.On the Labrador coast last year 2,500 cases, large and small, were attended to by the hospital ship on duty there and in the North Sea and the waters on this side of the Atlantic help and relief were given to 11,000 sufferers by the two or three ships.Another statistic which may interest the good people who knit warm garments for the fishermen: last year the proceeds from the sale of woollen goods to the men amounted to £300, and when it is known that a long woollen scarf of some two or three vards may be purchased by a fisherman for 4d.or 5d., it will be understood that the £300 represemts a larger supply of woollen goods than the mere figures might suggest.In the saloon, which serves as chapel, consulting room and \u2018living\u2019 room,

I.Himeelf Drew \u2018Near As the two disciples talked about Him \u2018Jesus Himself drew near.\u201d (Luke xxiv., 15) So will it ever be when true-bearted Chris tians in their conversations together speak of Him, .whether as-in Matt.xviii, 20°; in Mark xvi., 20, or as-here, in pri vate \u2018talk by the wayside.(See Mal.iii., '18))° The Lord takes spécial pleasure in the social spiritual: converse of His people.Not only is \u2018He.near 40 all who y but to all who lovingly talk about | im.\u2018IE Jesus Taught About Himself, \u2014 He | interpreted to them in all.the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.\u201d (Luke \u2018xxiv, 27.)

The thought suggests hing: segompaniment of \u2018such\u2019 à possession.\u2018As \u2018the bride takes the name of her husband, eo the Christian takes the name of his Saviour.But the title \u201cChristian,\u201d is simply, as it were, a sur name, the real \u2018first name\u2019 is earned below, but given above.Many a nickname is given here, descriptive of what men seé and think of us; but the name which God will give us will speak of the battles fought' and won where no eye could see but his, and will be a token of our preciousness in his sight.Nicknames, such as \u2018earnest Christian,\u201d \u2018poor Christian,\u201d \u2018selfish,\u2019 \u2018half-hearted,\u2019 etec., may carry with them a \u2018good deal of truth\u2014on the other hand, they may be totally untrue in the sight of God, who looks not on the outward appearance but on the heart.: What would you like to be called, if you : could choose the characteristics which would help to determine the new name.Men are born with different strengths of character, and different lacks.No man is wholly strong by nature.One man is gifted with a strong love of righteousness, stern truth is ingrained into every fibre of his mind, yet the very inherent righteousness of such an cone keeps him from sympathising with, or having merey upon, another whose moral fibre is not so straight and strong.But the other man may have great kindness and charity of heart.Both need the transforming power of (God in their hearts, and fellowship with each other.The man who has no business ability learns to count accuracy and perseverance as ideals worth striving for.The man of careless unpractical mind, when the grace of God touches \u2018his heart, \u2018begins to cherish the ambi- \u2018tion of one day being called faithful.Whatever we most lack in our natures can be best supplied by God, for only the empty soul can he fill, or the hungry heart satisfy.We may have a great lack of love in our nature, but if that lack ie kept filled up with pride, of course it can never be filled with anything else.A bottle full of water, even the clearest.purest water, cannot be filled with oil, so we must be willing to have God empty us of even our best self, before we can be filled with the Spirit.Men pray for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit ,and the baptism of his power, when what they really need is cleansing, and the being made humble enough to receive the gift.No man can receive the baptism of the Spirit, while he treasures in his.heart some \"enemy of the cross of Christ.Jacob received a new name, but did \u2018therein.Backsliding Israel (Isa.ii, 22, 25-27.)) was promised that on her repent- -ance she should be purified and receive from the Lord a new name.And to this day the name \u2018Zion\u2019 denotes righteousness.and faith.Sardis, (Rev.iii, 1), had a name of life, but was dead, the name given by men was rejected by the allseeing God.Yet even in Sardis th-re were those who had kept their gar- 5ëc to 60c per bushel; oats, 3lc to 32c per |- à rage a newness of character which would be Daplsh at Toss: rene | ET drain pe time A pot live up to the privileges implied: ments unspotted from the world with its clinging, stinging passions.To these it was promised that the overcomere whould be publicly named by the Lord Jesus before his father and the whole assembled host of heaven.There can be little doubt that the language.of heaven contains thousands of terms.of praise and joy, which we will need,\u2019 to express our gratitude acd thanksgiving.The musiq of heaven contains such harmonies as have never greeted mortal ear.And the names written in the Lamb\u2019s book of life are as diverse and as precious as the souls to whom they belong.Jehovah was pleased to have the high priest of slden time bear constantly before him the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.(Ex.zxviii., 12, 29.) So now our great high priest (Heb.vii., 25-28) constantly bears before Jehovah the names of his brethren on earth.(Heb.ii., 11; Mark.ii,, 35.) \u2018C.E.MISSIONARY WORK.\u2019 The missionary committee of Inepector Street Mission Endeavor Society, have planned an active season\u2019s work, They are endeavoring to interest the officers of the \u2018C.E.Societies,\u201d in their distribution of the books of the \u2018Moody Colportage Library,\u201d a portion of the profits to be used -in.the education, seriding forth, and support of a member of their society, now studying at the \u2018Moody Institute,\u201d in Chicago.WHAT \u2018A MONTREAL MINISTER THINKS OF SUCH EFFORTS.\u2018I heartily agree with the noble efforts of our young people\u2019s societies to introduce good literature among the young people;

George W.Stephens, M.Dechene, Jules Tessier, Sir A.P.Caron, Senator Fiset, Charles Fitzpatrick, R.R.Dobell, Charles Lan- geliet, Col.McLellan, M.P.for Glen- garry ; P.V.Savard, M.P;;J.G.Snet- singer, M.P.fer\u2018 Stormont Major P.piche, Sod Bs Sion 3 Cail.Ponton,\u2019 G.W.Johneoiti;

therefore asked the advice of Prof.MacCormac, who immediately proffered his own services, which are of the most valuable nature.His experience with surgery in the field is unrivalled in this country,

of the troops at Southampton, said to a representative of the Associated Press : | \u2018It was à splendid sight.Everything was done in good order.On each transport a naval lieutenant was in command, and on the dock a naval officer superintended the whole.The army officers had their men lined up and a staff sergeant passed along the ranks, chopping eighteen men off at a time, thus forming messes.Marching on board, they found everything prepared for them.\u2019 Despatches from Sydney and Melbourne record the departure of the Australian contingent for the war amid wild scenes of

CIRCLES.\u2014 _ London, Oct.31\u2014There was a great feeling of uneasiness at every club house last night when the bulletin from the War Office was posted.Earlier in the day there had been rumors that the Boers had advanced on Ladysmith and bad begun a fire of she\u2019s with their for- {y-pounders, but that the British artillery had silenced the Boer guns.It Was also reported that General Joubert had ordered an advance in great numbers upon the British left flank and that 8 battle was in progress.General White's report, or so much of it as the M ar Office chose to give out, described an indecisive engagement, preceded by a mysterious movement to clear his left flank, with no details of the return of the two battalions of the Royal Irish fusi- ers and the Gloucester Regiment.Pe.berts shook their heads solemnly on commenting upon General White's acoount of the stampede of battery mules, and his doubtful expression of hope that the guns of the mountain battery would be recovered.As for the general engagement it was clear that General White y A.à F had brought it and had not been attacked by General Joubert, if he were in command.General White has sent out two brigade divisions of artillery and five battalions of infantry covered by the cavalry under General French to attack the position where the enemy had \u2018pianted their guns.The Boers were rot where their guns had been but they were further behind, massed in great strength, prepared to fall back upon the reserves.The British were drawn on for several miles, bub finally returned to camp after an indecisive engagement of : several hours.Nct a single line of this despatch could be made to spell out a victory.The disappearance of the Irish Fusiliers and of the Gloucester regiment, with a mountain battery was a mystery which baffled the ingenuity of the optimists who attempted to explain it.There was a general feeling of distrust at midnight and fears were expressed at every club house that a serious reverse was impending, especially as the Boer guns were admitted to have a longer rarge than the British field artillery.Experts in the military dubs frankly confessed that the British soldiers who have been accustomed to fight recklessly with savage tribes, such as the Soudan dervishes, were at a disadvantage in meeting cool wary foes like the Boers, who made a practice of falling back np- on their reserves and luring their - sailants into ambuscade.It was also generally conceded that the Boers were hanging back and were not seeking to make an attack before they vere fully prepared to give battle.MANY MISGIVINGS.London, Oct.81.\u2014The news of the en- gaagement at Ladysmith, that reached the public last evening, in the form of an official despatch from General White, the British commander there, was re ceived with considerable misgivings.There was so much that was obviously unsaid, and what was said was so unsatisfactory that the despatch read much like an apology for failure in which everything necessary to an appreciation of the circumstances was suppressed.The facts that two infantry battalions were unaccounted for at the time of despatching the message, and that the mules had stampeded, nobody knows where, with an indefinite number of mountain guns, were scarcely compensated for by General White's sanguine be: lief that the naval guns with which he had been reinforced would enable him te dominate the enemy\u2019s heavy artillery, which, 1t is believed, consists of Creuzot guns, which are admittedly superior in range to the British guns.General White's unsatisfactory report is\u2019 supplemented now by press telegrams.These despatches show that the reconnaissance in force, though it technically achieved its purpose, was not so successful, as I it \u2018might have been if a strätezic' move- { ment of the enemy had not defeated the English general's plan, -:1t.is also known nôw that the loss of the British | was It is assumed here the naval guns referred to were six-inch quick-firers, from one of the cruisers off Durban, and that they \u2018were probably mounted on their deck-mountings.These guns, dccord- ing tn the newspaper correspondents, were fired with excellent precision, and they quickly silenced the Boers\u2019 forty- pounders, which had been dropping projectiles into TLadysmith.The naval brigade evidently arrived in the nick of time; and worked with characteristic smartness.They - reached Ladysmith from Durban at 9.30 in the morning, and about three hours later had their guns mounted and

morning and evening.At the morning service the Rev.Dr.George preached, and in the evening the Rev.Professor Creelman.The attendance was particularly good, especially in the evening, when there was hardly a spare seat.Preaching in the evening Professor Creel- man took for his text Ps.Ixxxiv., 5:\u2014 \u2018 Blessed is the man in whose heart are the highways to Zion.\u2019 Some, he raid, interpreted this to mean having the commandments in the heart.He, however, took it to mean that a man woud be blessed who loved the things which led to God.Then the speaker went on to tell of the different highways.Formal- iam he spoke of as being a very low way.A step higher than this came duty.But the highest and only true way was love.The third annual social of the church is to be held on Wednesday evening, and a hearty invitation is extended to a members and friends of the church to be present.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014 A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.Cornwall, Oct.30.\u2014Edward Jarvis,

PROPERTY.A special patriotic service was held on Sunday in the St.James Methodist.Church, when a large congregation was present.The hymns and music were specially selected for the occasion.The sermon was preached by the Rev.W.Sparling, pastor of the church, who took: as his text Isainh ii., verse 4.In the course of, his remarks, Mr.Sparling ob \u2018served that for thousands of years pend ple hid been told of the golden age.The golden age referred to by Isaiah Was & time of universal peave.While the Christian world had been looking forward to this glorious purity; history showed that it had not yet come.At\u2018 the birth of Christ came the prophecy \u2018 of his mission to bring peace on earth |.and good will towards men.Continuing, the preacher said that the present condition of things did not indicate a near fulfilment of Isaiah\u2019s prophesy, as was shown by the war-cloud which per petually overhung the world.Whether this war-cloud burst or whether it did not, all nations were in constant dread of its doing so.The expense of all these vast preparations for war which nations were always making justified the old saying that the \u2018ogre of war cost as much for his digestion as for his meals,\u2019 Mr.Sparling then made reference to the tremendous cost of war, quoting figures in support of his statement, and also commenting om their vast destructiveness to beth lif and property.He then traced the history of warfare to the two great currents\u2014Jewish and Theathea.When Christ came into the world it was to be remarked that there was a | universal cessation of war.The preacher next went on to show that as Christ\u2019s kingdom spread there was a growing aversion to war.This is manifested at the present day by a disposition to criticise the motives of war; a feeling that war is incompatible with Christianity; the change in the modern world\u2019s estimation of national greatness, the strong attempt to settle initernation- al disputes by arbitration, and a growing sentiment that if war is waged at all it must ke in a humane manner.Mr.Sparling then mede reference to the present war with the Transvaal.He strongly deprecated the notion prevalent in some quarters that England\u2019s ae- tion was inspired by a lust for gold.It wes, on the contrary, a war in the interests of life and liberty.As affairs were at present, arms were a necessity for national defence, and in the face of | possible exigencies Great Britain could not disarm.In conclusion, Mr.Sparling spoke of the Canadian contingent for the Transvaal, and asked the congregation to remember all the motherd and relatives of the men who vrere going to the front in their prayers.The organist played \u2018The Maple Leaf Forever,\u201d and \u2018Rule Britannia.\u2019 pe THE DE LABRIOLLE LECTURES.In connection with the de Labriolle lectures at Laval University, it will be remembered that, besides the didactic course, there will be a course of public lectures given by Mr.de Labriolle, every second Wednerday, at eight p.m., in the Promotion Hall of the university, from Nov.8 to April 25, except during the period of the Christmas and Easter holidays.Those lectures will include eleven
