adverse to delaying the gime two weeks, and as grounds cannot be secured in Toronto for Saturday next, they propose Montreal as the scene cf the match.They point out that the expense of both teams

Serceness of the struggle in which they were engaged.The weather and the wind that blew straight down field, plerced the players and made them hustle to keep their temperature at a comfortable level.About stx hundred people witnessed the match, and of that number 150 were supporters of the Brockville team, who travelled to Ottawa by special train.When the first haif ended with Brockville

home matches with every other club in the association, said matches to be played alternately on \u2018each club's aileys, and the club winning the greatest number of matches in the scheduled series

ENQUIRY, CAPTAIN JONES GIVES EVIDENCE.\u2014\u2014 The enquiry by the Harbor Commisston- ers into the mishap to the steamship Ottoman, at the Dobsll wharf on Oct.4, was held on Saturday morning, when the evidence of witnesses was heard.All the members of the board were present, Mr.Robert Mackay occupying the chair, the commiesioners\u2019 counsel, Mr.Victor Geof- frion, being also in attendance.The first witness was Captain Richard: Owen Jones, master of the vessel.He handed in a copy of the log, showing that before the steamer left the wharf the steering gear was tried, as usual, and was all right.They left the wharf at 5.50 a.m.and at 6.08 the vessdl wae outside the wharf, the pilot steering.She seemed to steer all right going down the current, but at 6.19 witness observed that she was canting to port, and he saw the helm put hard a-port.A minute later she was heading right for the end of the wharf, that was right ahead.The engines were put full speed astern, and at 6.31 the anchor was let go.The ship was still canting to port, and at 6.23 she struck the wharf very heavily.\u2018When bringing the vessel back she steered all right.Captain Jones furthor stated that when the tugs were cast off the ship was right in the channel, and tke beacons were right straight ahead.She was drawing 24 feet 11 inches on an almost even keel.The tugs were cast off below Ile Ronde, at the fizst black buoy.A man was sent aft to see the position of the rudder, and when he got there It was hard over.Witness did not know what prevented the vessel answering her helm.Mr.John Torrance handed in a report from Mr.Willlam Morin, marine engineer, who had examined the steering gear, etc.of the vessel, and had found the different parts in gocd condition.In answer to Mr.Bickerdike, Captain Jones said that the accident was due, In: his opinion, to the ship being given little too much starboard heim, although\u2019 wis Pauit of the A pese ult e EE RES TP Head deposed\u201d THAT Wher tre] vessel commented to go: tothe \u2018port-aide/ he started to work her qnietly, and was surprised to find that she did not come round, as in that place where vessels generally bad a tendency to go south, he found he was going continually to the north, and he remarked the fact to the captain.He hoped she would eonfe round all right, and he gave the word to reverse the engines, and at the s2me time gave the word to cast the anchor, but she had got too much headway and they could not stop her.By members of the board\u2014The only way he could account for the accident was that when he saw it should be port, the pilots \u2018of honor were filled brother, Mr.All although the wheel went over, the rudder | did not.The accident was not the fault of the current, and he himself was not the cause for it, for he was perfectly cool and collected, and there was nothing the matter with him.He had been piloting the \u2018Ottoman\u2019 ever since she came to this port, five or six years, and except on the previous occasion, be had never had any trouble with her; she had always steered w ll.He aid not give her too much starboard, and he was surprised when she took the sheer to port.He bad made no mistake in giving the word \u2018starboard\u2019 instead of \u2018port,\u2019 as he had the wheel in his own hands.Something must have gone wrong with the machinery; that was the only way in which he could account for the mishap.If \u2018an acciden\u2019 had not happened to the vessel before, ne would not have been able to account for this.The eviden:s of the chief and second officers of the \u2018Ottoman\u2019 was also taken, which hore out the testimony of Captain Jones.The enquiry was then adjourned.rt HIGHLAND CADET CORPS.The military tournament at the Victoria.Rink on Saturday afternoon and evening, under the auspices of the Highland Cadet corps, was not as well attended as it deserved, Major Lydon\u2019s lads went through a varied

WITNESS.BAD QUALITIES ONLY OF THE NEGRO ARE TOO FAMILIAR., Those who were present at the Men\u2019s Meeting at the Young Mens Christian Association yesterday afternoon listened to a stirring address by Mr, W.\u2018A.Hux- ton, colored secretary of the Inkesmational Committee, working amongst the colored young men in the Southern States, In his address Mr.Hunton dealt with the work of the Internetional Committee ; its condition as a whole in cities and towns, amongst railway men and students, and amongst the Indian young men on the reservations in the west, under Mr.Anthur F.Tibbitts, a full-blood- ed Sioux \u2018 Indian, - ing on to speak more particularly of his epecial field of labor amongst the colored yoing men of the South.Mr.Hunton went from Of- tawa thirteen years ago to take charge of the Association work at Norfolk, Virginia., Later he began to travel in the South in order to develop this brench of Association work.There ave now twenty- ome city and towp associstions and fifty- tions, with a\u2019 ynembersliip \u2018of nearly 5,000 \u2018colored young men.He referred in glowing terms to Booker T.sWshington and his educational work.He als \u2018pointed out that we are too familiar with the bad qualities of the negro owing to the newspaper reports which reach us, while on the other hand we are not kept informed of the real growth and progress of the negro towards Christian civilization, education and moral character, which has been steady and full of eucour- agement during the past thirty-five years.While he admitted that the problem was an intensely serious one, yet, in contrast.\u2018ing the condition of the negroes at the time of their emancipation from slavery a few years ago, with their present condition, he found great cause for thankfulness, Mr.Hunton spoke for a few minutes also at the Sunday evening service in Emmanuel Church.This being the Week of Prayer, meetings will be held each evening in the As \"sociation parlors from 8.00 to 830 for prayer for the world-wide work amongs> young men.rm A ©.P.R.EMPLOYEE HINORET.The staff of the passeagrr department of the Canadien Pacific Railway on Saturday evening tendered a

12, 1900.A recent atrocious murder of a young woman in Paterson, N.J., and other similar crimes in other places of late, require that a warning voice should be raised against a custom, now too prevalent among young women and girls, more especially among those who are employed in offices, stores and factories, and who have become confident of being able to look after themselves, of trusting themselves alone with casual street acquaintances, and, what is even more danger ous, acoepting invitation to seireshmenta] ih \u2019testaurents or, still worse,\u201d saloons, with \u2018sidé entrances, ostentatiously: indicated as \u2018For ladies\u2019 The freedom of mamners permitted in these days is such as would shock our grandparents, and has doubtless resulted from the independence natural to those who earn their own living and are more or less free from home restraints.No one would presume to cast imputations on women as a class thus situated, but their position in life is more dangerous than that of those carefully sheltered and defended at home, and there are among them thoughtless, light-hearted ores, mostly unconscious of evil.By these the terrible warnings contained in the tragediés to which we have alluded should be heeded in time.A New York multi-millionnaire, Mr.Ziegler, has declared that he will have the Stars and Stripes hoisted on the north: pole if it coste Him a fnillion\u2019 dollars.His plan is to purchase and equip two ehips to go north in \u20ac , With the understanding that ope of them will remain during the fitst \u201cWinter in Aie highest attainable latitude, while its consort returns to secure fresh supplies, and ect, if necessary, asa tellof ship.The expedition is to be fmdyr the command of Mr.E.B.Baldwin, who was e member of the Peary expedition in 18934, and was with Walter Wellman when he spent the winter of 18989 in Franz Josef Land.He is also the author of a book on Arctic exploration, Ever since the year 1380, when Nicolo and Antonio Zeno sailed from Venice on a distinctively northern exploration, and penetrated as far as Greenland, a hundred and twelve, years before Columbus discovered America, Arctic navigation has had irresistible attractions for intelligent sdven- turere.Although these hdve dlways set some\u2019 conceivable object before them as\u2019 their goal, the mystéry of the unapproachable has been the real lure.It, Was first and for centuries a north-west passage to India that these vpyagers convinced themselves they were in search of, and often died in pursitit of.Thei

it was reached.The notion that there is a pole there to hang a flag to or a cairn or something to show the end of the world\u2019s axis, no doubt clings to the imagination, as does the well at the world\u2019s end mentioned in the story of Jack the Giant Killer.Still, with the full knowledge that there is nothing there, nations are emulating each other, with vast investments of means and personal endurance, in the race to be first at it.FIGHTING IN SOUTH AFRICA.There has been a good deal of the lighter but very costly sort of guerilla fighting throughout the new South African colonies since the close of the regular war, in most of which the Boers have been the attackers.But last week the British took the initiative both in the east of the Vaal River Colony and the west of the Orange River Colony, and two heavy encounters took place, in which the Boers were very badly defeated.The correspondents in England of the American press whose despatches we get confuse the accounts of these two fights, which took place three hundred miles apart.The more decisive battle of the two was that fought between the British forces under General Knox and the Boer forces under General De Wett in the Kroonstad district of the Orange River Colony.The region where the fighting between these two forces has been going on for three or four weeks past is about 70 miles north-west of Kroonstad, in the Vaal River valley, extending east and west south of Potchefstroom and Klerks- dorp.This is a mountainous district, and there are numerous crossings over the Vaal river, all of which features are advantageous to the Boers owing to their methods of fighting and their knowledge of every foot of the country.It was in this region at Reitzburg that Lord Kitchener attempted to surround and capture General De Wett, whence he escaped north, and, after fighting a running bat: tle with Lord Methuen, was turned back north of Pretoria by General Baden: Powell.south to.4he essbern.side of the | General Olivier\u2019's forces at Heilbron) when that general, with his three.sons, was captured.General Macdonald and the Highland Brigade defeated them near Winburg and drove them west acroes thé railway, whence they .made their way north to the Vaal river region, where they have been fighting for a month or more, apparently in a vain attempt to get north and join General Erasmus north of Rustenburg.General De Wett attempt ed to make a stand near Parys a couple of weeks ago, and was defeated by General Knox with a loss of 150 men killed, wounded and captured, and \u201ctwo guns, and again he was defeated at Rensburg Drift, west of Parys, and, retreating from there, sought refuge among the hills around Bothaville, which is south-east on the road to Hoopstad.General Knox's cavalry, under Colonel Legallais, pursued him closely and brought him to bay, holding him until the rest of Genéral Knox's division came up, when they utterly defeated him, capturing all his guns, waggons, ammunition, stores, and killing, wounding and capturing.over 120 of his force.To save themselves from capture De Wett\u2019s forces had.to disperse into small groups.This probably ends all eeriotq resistatice on the part of the Qr- ange River Colony forces, which have now lost all their guns and much: of their.\u2018ammunition, and can hereafter only at tempt raids upon the railways and the garrisoned villages.Their numbers are now greatly reduced, and many will te turn to their homes.The other serious encounter, or rather series of encounters, extending over two days, -took place between the British forces under General Smith-Dorrien and the Boer forces under General Hans \u2018Botha (Louis is sick or in the north of the colony), near Belfast, in the Macha- dodorp region, east of Middelburg, on the line of the Pretoria and Delagoa Bay railway.General Smith-Dorrien, in.whose division it will be Yemembered the first Canadian contingent marched from Belmont to Bloemfontein, and then to Pretoria, gathered an infantry force at Belfast composed of the Suf- folks and Shropshires -and a mounted force composed of the 2nd Battalion: of the Royal Canadian\u2019 M¢unted Infairy,.the 1st Battalion Mountad Infantry, sew: known.in Routh Africa - the .Rqyal the Canadian Artillery, and wish: Wis Canadian Dragoons, and D Battery \u201cd£\" force he marched out one night and surprised the Boer laager, which he captured, driving the Boers out.Appur- ently the Boers attempted to cut off his supply convoy and also to attack passing trains on the railways and General Smith-Dorrien had his hands full for two days, fighting off their raids.He seems to have done this successfully owing largely to the splendid courage and resolution of the Canadian mounted forces, who seem to have been able to fight the Boers by their own methods surprisingly well.It seems that sixteen of the Canadians were captured, but they were treated kindly and released by the Boers the same day.The Boers seem to have suffered heavily, judging from the fact that they would not allow the Canadians to see how many of their men had been killed and wounded.The Canadians are highly praised for their conduct, both by General Smith-Dorrien and Lord liob- erts, having saved a convoy by wianing a good race for an advantageous position and then pluckily defending the position against e determined charge the desper, ate Boers made to capture it and with it the convoy.The Boers seem to be rendered desperate by the lack of supplies, probably ammunition, and hence their determined attack on the British convoy.WHO IS DISLOYAL ?The letter of \u2018 Conservative\u2019 proves at least his own intolerance of the French- Canadians having any different race sentiments from his own.We wonder how many centuries it will take to make a loyal dependency of South Africa if the descendants of the English are going forever, like \u2018Conservative,\u2019 publicly to denounce them every time they express race sympathies that are not Anglo- Saxon.If there be one thing in which the Teuton, whether Anglo-Saxon or other, has a hiatus in his make-up, it is in his incapacity to conceive how other races should have any different sentiments from his own, or, indeed, to understand anybody\u2019s sentiments but his own.This attitude of intol- -erance of any but British sentiment \u2018used to be spoken of in Montreal in more troubled times\u2014times which \u2018Con- Since then he made his WéÿLservetive\u2019 would apparently like to bring , : f Orsug®ishack\u2014as that of the \u2018Byutel British,\u2019 [River Coldudy; where be t00k ootimand\u2019 df [ It.is an attitude with which we confess we have no sympathy when held by a ruling majority representing power towards a minority whose traditions are those of surrender, though not with humiliation and not without glory.Indeed, it is one which we join that minority in bitterly resenting.Let us try to see ourselves as a minority of different race, language and religion, lable gradually to be merged into another people and let us ask ourselves what would, in such a case, be our sentiments towards that majority, no matter how liberal and even generous its institutions, if it lost no opportunity of taunting us with our differences.We can only repeat what we have already said, thet the attitude assumed by \u2018Conservative\u2019 is ome calculated to render French-Canadian loyalty impossible and a common Canadian natiopelity likewise impossible.It is, therefore, entirely unpatriotic and essentially disloyal, however unwittingly so to \u2018 Consér- vative\u2019 himself and those likeminded.We do not, therefore, propose to print any more expressions of this sort.Ae, for the remark of \u2018Conservative\u2019 about Sir Wilfrid Laurier having ridden to power on the shoulders of Mr.Kruger, it is so utterly contradictary.of facts that are, other as to be entirely-innocuous.As for Mr.Tarte\u2019s quoted reibarks, supposing them fairly to represent what he said, is dt not true that a great French.nation is growing up on the banks of the St.Lawrence, and is he not right in taking pride in it ?If he asked what Canada had to do with.Great Britein\u2019s troubles in South Africa it was exactly the position practically taken by Sir: John Macdonald when asked what Canada would do with regard to Great Britain\u2019s trouble when Gordon was beleaguered in Khartoum.When Sit John refused aid, Britain had a real trouble on hand ; when Mr.Tarte is reported to have asked this question Great Britain had no prospect of a war.\u2018Conservative\u2019 further eays that every one whe claimed that the French were, loyal lost his electign with the exception of Mr.Casgrain.To prove this remark\u2019 untrue we need himself, - who very strongly assert.\u2018ed the loyalty of the French-Canadians, would be a fool Who preféired a French \u2018to & Britidh allegiance: We need

are the November meteors to have an opportunity to redeem their almost ruined reputation.The long ex- pested and much predicted \u2018shower\u2019 of last year could hardiy be called a \u2018sprinkle.\u2019 A number of explanations were offered, the most natural being that the shower would be met a year later.Accordingly preparations are being made at the Metsill observatory here, as well as at other observatories elsewhere, to watch for the Leonids to-night, to-mor- row night, and again on Wednesday.NEPTUNE Ln FIG.1 _ORBITS OF NOVEMBER _ \u201cMETEORS AND PLANETS The November \u201cmetvors.- are -caled te from*- a\u2018 particular point, called \u2018the \u2018radiant point,\u2019 in the constellation of Leo.But, while the meteors seem to come from Leo, it is simply because seen in that direction after they have curved about between Leo and earth, for the path followed by the Leonids is an ellipse, with the sun at one of its foci.ese meteors travel about the sun in a definite orbit just as the earth and all the planets do; but the elliptical orbit of the meteors is very much elongated, and, as shown in the accompanying cut, reaches away beyond the orbit of the planet Uranus.The earth -equires one year to complete its revolution about the sun; Uranus requires eighty-four years; the Le- onids require thirty-three and one-quar- ter years\u2014at least, so it was held until last year when they were due and failed to put in an appearance.Uranus is distant from the sun 1,171,- 000,000 miles, the Lenoids at aphelion are more distant than that.But when at perihelion-they strike into the orbit of the earth, and are consequently only ©3,000,000 miles from the sun.The cut shows that at the point where the paths SE INTERSECTION OF ORBITS of NOVEMBER

the meteors rush into our atmosphere is compounded of theor own: speed and that of the earth, whose atmosphere is also rushing upon them; the result is a rate of about forty-five miles: & second.Such is tha heat produced by this sudden and great impact and -the friction attending it that these stray nuggets of matter ere almos instantly consumed; that is, they are converted from the solid to the

Captain Ca- bret.Captain Cabret is a young lady of pleasant appearance, is an interesting and forceful speaker, a talented singer, and has had ten years\u2019 experience as an Army officer.Her last station in France was La Rochelle; her home was at Alais, in the department of Gard, in the south of France, and her accent is decidedly but pleasantly southern.Amongst the towns and cities in which she has labored may be mentioned Vialas, La Selle, St.Hippolyte, Marseilles, Nimes, Montpellier, Vauvert, Gauges and Vigan.Her career has been marked with much success, ' When the intimation was sent out amongst the hundreds of officers in France that a volunteer was Wanted ta go to Canada Miss Cabret Yelt that sh IL that che ! should offer! Ît took some cohsideration and prayer before she could make up her mind to leave home and friends and country and consecrate herself to the discouraging work of French evangelization in the distant

first time since 1884, the above society is about to come before the public to solicit its kind patronage, and has arranged to hold a \u2018Doll Fair\u2019 on Dec.15 in Drummond Hall, the proceeds of which are for the purpose of establishing a reserve fund for the furtherance and maintenance of its original object, the assistance of gentlewomen who are obliged to earn their own livelihood.The name suggests to the casual reader, and even frequent visitor to the society\u2019s rooms, simply an emporium to procure artistic and decorative article: but those behind the scenes could teil many a tale of distress which comes before the notice of the superintendent.The society, which is non-sectarian, has, on its present list.one hundred members and one hundred and thirty-five contributors.The annual subscription for members is $5.00, which entitles each member to intreduce an unlimited nam- ber of needy workwomen (from whom no fee is asked) who, upon presenting their work to the superintendent, are obliged to certify that they are working for their living and require to support themselves.If their work is satisfactory it is placed in the rooms for sale at the worker\u2019s own price, with a ticket attached having on it the member\u2019s number, and an initial letter which designates the contributor\u2019s name, and al- the society\u2019s books, and when the article is sold.the society receives ten percent commission.In the case of the work not being up to the standard.the superintendent, or one of her assistants, gives lessons to the novice gratis until she is able to hold her own with the more advanced workers, and in many cases the pupil becomes an adept and the work attains a high standing.Contributors have their respective specialties.for instance.some are always called upon to make up cosies and cushions of all kinds: others to embroider on linen, paint on china, ete.A few are noted for hunting up novelties, and are always to be depended upon for eome- thing \u2018new\u2019 at Christmas or Easter to attract and appeal to taste.Others are noted for their exquisitely fine art work.which might be described as \u2018painting with the needle.and some are always to be relied upon for pimctuality and despatch in executing orders.Tuesday is pay day and contri- Six\u2019 yeats ago the idea was conceived \u2018of sending work to Murray Bay in the summer.A room was rented and presided over by one of the young ladies from.the Montreal rooms, and has proved a great success, as the business has increased each year, and has been the source of remuneration to many contributors, who would otherwise have had a dead season during the dull months of July and August.This past summer contributors were paid $881.24.The society\u2019s balance, after expenses of $170.03 were paid, was $5.89, so that you see our excheauer is not filled to overflowing by this venture; but the main object of the society is attained, -and deserving gentlewomen are encouraged to help and support themselves.Qur gross receipts in 1884 were $2,149.00, and in 1899, $9,498.00.showing material increase in the work.but our bank balance netted only $2.28.By this entertainment we hope to be able to realize a sufficient sum to set aside for pressing needs, such as, advancing materials or money to assist the needlewomen to procure what ir required to fill orders, as few of our workers can afford to spend anything in the necessary outlay.FLORENCE N.MORRIS.2288 St.Catherine street, Montreal.-\u2014\u2014 COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.\u2014 COLD STORAGE CASE POSTPONED.\u2014 When

FIRE DE PARTMENT STOPPED THE - PRACTICE.An editorial *vhich appeared in one of the city papers on Saturday drew attention to the practice of the salvage departments of the fire brigades in various American cities in cleaning up premises after a fire.It was suggested in the cditorial that it would be a good thing if the Montreal salvage corps would act in the same manner.Chief Benoit wishes it to be known that the salvage corps always made a practice of putting things straight until the spring of this year, when the custom was discontinued irr consequence of his receiving the following letters, which explain themselves: The Western Assurance Co.Montreal, March 22, 1900.Z, Benoit, Esq, Chief, Fire Department, City Hall: Dear Sir,\u2014I beg to bring before you a matter which I think is deserving of your consideration, and is one also \u201cwhere, by giving suitabls instructions to your sub- ordifiates, assistance might be readered to the insurance companies in settling their lotees.1 have noticed In very many cases where there have been fires, both in stores and dwellings, that after the fire has been extinguished thé burned or partly burned: debris, is either swept up by the firemen all together into a heap in the centre of the room, or is gathered together and thrown outside.I do not quite know why the firemen go to this trouble, but in any case it makes it much more difficult for the representative of the insurance com- peny either to estimate the loss or to form eny proper idea as to how and where the fire originated.It would be of the greatest assistance Lo us if instructions were given to your men that everything, after a fire has been put out, should be left as nearly as possible In the position in which it wae found, as by either sweepiig up,the debris or throwing 1t out, it is so mich broken up and the articles so inextricably mingled, as to make it a matter of the greatest difficulty, if not impossibility, to say exactly, of what the debris had originally consisted.I shculd be very much obliged if you would give this matter your usual careful consideration, and if you find my request a reasonable one, issue the requisite instructions to your subcrdinates.I am, dear sir, yours truly, JOHN A.ROBERTSON, Inspector.A copy of this letter was forwarded to Mr.À.W.Hadrill, secretary of the Firé_ Underwriters\u2019 Association, enclosing

London, Nov.10.\u2014The elections in the United States and Canada held the interest of Great Britain throughout the week to an unprecedented extent.Of the two great contests that between President McKinley and Mr.William J.Bryan was the more closeiy watched.There is no concealing the act that Mr.McKinjey's re-election meets with toe almost unanimous approval of the press and publie, While tue Loteign Utiice expresses undisguised relief that it vil not bave to deal with a new set of dipfomate in this critical , stage of ai- fairs in the Yar last and in other parts of \u2018the world.Among the columns of comments &p- pearing in the journals, there is common to all an expression of surprise at the return to.power of the existing govern- mants of Great Britain, the United States and Canada, and, rightly or wrongly, the deduction is drawn that this reversal of the usual order of things is due to \u2018the wondrous spread of the \u2018imperialistic ideas\u2019 amnong Eng- lish-speaking people.: DELAGOA BAY AWARD.| The ancient controversy on the subject of the Delagon Bay Railway award should at least be settled with hard cash next week.Communications are =tiil ssing on the subject between Wash- mgton and London, but ouly one nunor point remains unseutied, and this should not prevent the bondholducs from receiving their money In a few days.AN INTERNATIONAL MATTER.\u2018Another international matter likely to come up between the | nited States and Great Britain is the sv grestion to prevent the Lilipino Junta at Hongkong.Inquiries reveal the fact that no instructions have yet been received at the Unit- el States embassy to this end, though should the United States Ambassador Mr.Joseph H.Choate, be instructed to apply for the suppression of the Junta it is likely his request will be granted.An official of the Foreign Office said to a representative of the Associated Press: \u201cThe extent of the steps we could take in this matter entirely depends on the strength of the case Washington can make out against the Junta.Ji it 1s proved the Junta is materially assisting the cause of the Filipinos, we certainly shall only be acting in the spirit of ordinary internation friendship in suppressing the organization.Moreover, the British.Empire has no desire to har- or sugh .jeg as juntas.\u2019 Da YF HORSES FAILS, Those who have long agitated againct the docking of horses\u2019 tails have won 2 great victory.The Queen, in sending cut an order that nome of her horses be treated im that way, aleo announced thit she had persuaded the Prince of Wales to follow her example.With roralty taking up such a vigorous stand it is likely that the docked horse will soon be as rare in London as full-tail- ed hcrses are at present.THE PRINCE OF WALES'S EYE SIGHT Another startling change in appzar- ance is the Prince of Wales wearing eye glassés: The future king has long enjoyed good -eyesight, but now, on the advige \u2018of :m° eminent ocnlist, he has had recourse to this fashionable form of spectagles.They are selected from the obtainable lenses, are framed in.tortoise-shell, and form an altogether elaborate : addition té the royal countenance.LU MAYNE REID'S WIDOW IN WANT.The , wigow of Captain Mayne Reid, U.SA., faüthor of \u2018The Rifle Ranges, \u2018Scalp Hunters,\u2019 etc.), has been discovered in a Poverty-stricken condition, in spite of the popularity his novels once achieved.The widow is a daughter of Mr.George Hyde, who claimed to be related to the Earl of Clarendon.DISSENTING PRESBYTERIANS.The new United Free Church of Scot- Itching Piles The Most Disastrous of Human Ills, and for Which There is Only.One Actwal painful operation, the fact remains that very, -very many people are afflicted and tosmented with piles\u2014itching, bleeding or protruding piles.So far as is known, there is no other treatment for piles so wonderfully prompt and effective as Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment.\u2018This preparation has never yet been known to fail to cure piles.It stops the itching at once, and positively and thoroughly cures piles of every form.The Rev.J.A.Baldwin, Baptist minis ter, Arkona, Ont., writes : \u201cFor over twenty years I was a great sufferer from itching and protruding piles.I uws2d many remedies and under went three very painful surgical operations, all without obtaining any permanent benefit.- - When about to give up in-degpair, I was told to use Dr.Chase's Ointment, and did so, finding relief at once.I unwed three boxes, and am al- moet entirely cured.The itching is all gone.I have advised others to use it, believing it would cure them es it has me.Dr.Chase\u2019s Ointment, 00 cents a box, at.all deslers, or Edmanson, Bates & Oo., Toronto.land is meeting with serious opposition in the Highlands.The bitter, covenanting zeal that animates the sturdy Highlanders has been aroused by the ief that the principles of the Church are compromised.Empty benches mark the services held under the auspices 0 the new organization, while hundreds attend imprômptu meetings in halls and elsewhere, conducted under the old church rules.There are many indications of secession, though this does not apply to the lowlands where the amalgamation has n well received.AŸ OF HOLY TRINITY.Holy Trinity Church (situated close to the Tower of London), in which is one of Washington's ancestor's tomb, bearing a coat-of-arms, which is supposed to be the origin of the stars and stripes, is threatened with destruction unless £200 is subscribed for it repairs.\"hat makes the church of interest to Americans is the tablet erected to the memo of Col.Legge.who married Eliza Washington, who died in 1670, surmounted by the Washington arms, consisting of five alternating bars of red and white, above which are five-pointa1 red stars.These, it is said, suggested to George Washington the American national flag.A TERRIBLE JOURNEY.\u2014 SUFFERINGS OF MISSIONARIES ON THE WAY FROM SHANSI TO HANKOW.\u2014 The following are extracts from a letter written to the London \u2018Times\u2019 by the Rev.A.R.Saunders, of Pingyao, Shansi, China, describing the journey that he and other missionaries \u2018had to make, to Hankow, during last June and July.\u201cI'he Boxers came to our mission compound and looted the piace.We were told that the official could \u2018give us no protection, and it would be best to leave at once for quieter parts.- We turned towards Luchenghsien, a city 133 miles south-east from Pingyao, where there is a station of the China Inland Mission.In one village we were attacked three times in the inn by a band of Boxers.We had to pay five ponuds to the man in charge Of the imperial courier stables to escort us on to the next stage, and in this way we had to buy protection nearly all the way to Lucheng- hsien, where we arrival on July 5.On the 7th \u2018that station also was rioted.We asked the magistrate to give us an official document entitling us to an escort from city to city, right through to Han- kow, but he had received orders to Withdraw all protection from foreigners, and we had to start on our journey of nearly seven hundred miles through an enemy's country, without any \"escort.Our party was on.follows: Alpz:R: and Mra Paun- ders and 'fhur childpen, \u201cMish.Ghthrie and Alfred Jennings, from Pingyao; R J.and Mrs.Cooper and two children.and Misses Huston and Rice, from Lu- chenghsien; fourteen persons in all.The youngest of the children was eighteen months old, and the eldest seven and a half years.We had to leave at midnight, and walked all night, carrying the younger children on our backs.We Were met by a band of men who robbed us of all we had, donkey, silver and goods, taking even the clothes we were wearing.Most of us were leit with only a pair of Chinese trousers on, the upper half of our bodies and our heads being entirely unprotected from the awful burning of a July sun.We trudged on as best we could, through village after village.The people of one village would follow us to the.boundary of the next, stoning us ahd béating us on the back and head with sticks and bricks.The only rest we got was at night.The first two days we had nothing to eat.The second day we were stonéd into a large town, and:# ting down, we told the people that we could mot go on till we had something to eat.They gave us some bread -ahd water, and escorted us out.A man, unknown te us, came up and gave us about three dozen hard boiled eggs.At Changtazhsien the magistrate gave us carts and had us escorted to the boundary of his district, from which place we had to walk to Kaoping- hsien.We were again stripped of some of the few garments we hid.Mrs.Coo- pet's- death later was largely due to ex: posure caused by ee of her upper = 7 co \u201cMisgés Huston and Rice got separated | from the rest of the party cn July 12.\u2018We learned afterwards, when Miss Huston rejoined our party is Hogan, that Miss Rice was beaten to death by the| roadside that day.Miss Haaton also received very serious injuries which resulted in her death later.They even ran a horse and cart ovar her to break her svine.\u2018The enmity of officials and people alike seemed to be directed chiefly agains two classes, Roman Catholics and | mining and railway engineers, and we had to prove al along thé road that we were Protestant missionaries, and as such were allowed to escape.At Tseh- cheofu we got a road pass, stating that we.were to be conducted as common criminals, From this point we suffered no more at the hands of the people.\u2018When we came to Hupeh province, ruled over by Chang Chihtung, we were a treated well by all the officials, and had sedan chairs provided for us.The rest | of the journey was accomplished in comparative comfort.We arrived at Har-|.kow an Aug.14, forty-nine days, after we left Pingyao.\u2018Great credit is due -to the viceroy we trust that his firm attitude at this time will not be forgotten by the powers when the China question is being set- \u2018ALEX.R.SAUNDERS.WA RIVER NAVIGATION CO.FALL ARRANGEMENT.Commencing Oct.2, str.DUCHESS OF YORK Freight TUESDAYS AND

Nov.9.\u2014Lord Roberts reports to the War Office as follows :\u2014General Smith-Dorrien reports that the two days fighting on Nov.6 and 7, near Botha- ville, were very hard.His force consisted of 250 mounted troops from the 5th Lancers.the Royal Canadian Dragoons and Mounted Rifles, two Royal Canadian Artillery guns, four guns of the 84th Battery and 900 infantry of the Suffolks and Shropshires.Our casualties the first day were.six killed and twenty wounded, chiefly of the Shropahires, who fought splendidly.The: next day the Boers tried to seize the strong position on the bank of the Komati, from which they were beaten on Nov.6, but were prevented by Col.Evans, the Canadian mounted troops and two of the 84th guns, galloping two miles and seizing it in the nick of time.The rear on the return march was defended by Colonel Lessard with the Canadian Dragoons, and two Royal Canadian guns under Lieut.Morrison.\u2018 Smith-Dorrien says no praise can be too high for the devoted gallantry these troops showed in keeping off the enemy from the infantry convoys.\u2018In the afternoon an event unprecedented in this war occurred when some two hundred mounted Boers suddenly charged the rear guard to within seventy yards, when they were stopped by the Canadian Dragoons.During the fight sixteen of the Canadians fell into the hands of the enemy, who treated them kindly and released them after removing their own dead and wounded, during which operation the Canadians were compelled to lie on their faces in order that they might not see how heavily the Boers had suffered.\u2018Our casualties were two killed and twelve wounded.\u2019 CANADIANS WOUNDED.Toronto, Nov.10.\u2014The \u2018Evening Telegram\u2019s\u2019 special cable says: London, Nov.10.\u2014It has been reported to the War Office that, in the fighting with the Boers at Koomati River, on Nov.7, Lieut.J.H.Elmsley, of A squadron.Canadian Mounted Rifles, formerly of Toronto, was dangerously wounded.Lieutenant R.E.W.Turner, of B squadron, formerly a captain in the Queen\u2019s Own Hussars, was severely wounded, while Lieut.H.Z.C.Cockburn, of A squadron, and late captain in the Governor- Géneral\u2019s Body Guards, received slight wounds.Ottawa, Nov.12.\u2014A letter received by a friend from Lieut.E.W.B.Morris, states that D Battery was at Belfast on Oct.2.The men had just got a mail, the first in a month.The Canadian Mounted Rifles and Royal Canadian Dragoons were fighting the Boers in that vicinity.A cable to the Governor-G:neral an- rounces that Corporal Macdonald, of the 1st London Hussars, who hal been reported as missing, has now rejoined.BOERS DESPERATE.ARE FIGHTING LIKE MEN WHO HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR.New York, Nov.11.\u2014In a despatch Idated London, Mr.Isaac N.Ford, cab- \u2018Ing the New York \u2018Tribune\u2019 in red to the war in South Africa, says: \u2018Fresh details of the engagements in the Transvaal show that the Boers are fighting with remarkable courage and energy.De Wett\u2019s battle with Legallais and De Lisle was most stubbornly contested, and the guns were abandoned only after a display of desperate valor.#rmth-Dorrien\u2019s \u2018fighting with the Boers near Belfast la furty-eight hours and re : was only saved by a bril | pt delegoe, -co bythe Cana- | with \u201cthe alor \u2019displa by the Can- adiarr- contingent at Paardel .The Baers were heavily reinforced in these operations- and not only hung persistently upon the rear and fark of the British column, but even charged om their \u2018horses in front at\u2019 close quarters.This May be the courage of despair, but it.commands ct.Doers are losing men day by day, but now that they are broken up into small bands, without artillery or transport.t have marked facilities for resent in * k > nd Jess persi in Keeping up a hopeless struggle: While they carry little food, every.farm is.a storehouse for them where they can obtain supplies an fresh horses.Their stubbornness in refusing to yield cannot be explained by the illusions of Mr.Krugers mission in France or ill-founded hopes that Bry- dh\u2019s triumph might have been helpful to them.They are fighting like men who have nothing left to live for and are resolved to die game.While this final exhibition of genuine Dutch courage ébmimands British respect, there is no turning back from the relentless pursuit the scattered bands.\u2018Sir Alfred Milner has sounded a fresh warning sgainst sedition in Cape Colony, and military critics at home are Tying aloud for Kitchener and sotentific methods of dealing with the e Boers cannot continue struggle without obtaining food, horses, arms and recruits, rigorous policies are advocated by which they may be virtually isolated, starved out and journals eats that every fresh re cruit from atal and Cape Colony caught with arms in his hands should be tried by court- nartial and shot.Other suggestions are that every enemy found in a British uniform or ng foul use of the white flag or red cross should be hanged.It is also u that the districts must be swept of any cattle, horses and sheep: that farm houses must be burned and the seditious u- lation employed, so that raiders wall be unable to carry on their war.General Kitchensr is expected to do all these things, since mild measures have been tried without avail.\u2019 TWO BOER GENERALS KILLED.Capetown, Nov.11.\u2014Among the Boers who were killed in the recent fighting rear Belfast were Gen.Fourie and Commandant -Prinzlcc.MR, KRUGER\u2019S PROGRAMME.\u2014 STRONG EFFORT TO BE MADE TO INTEREST EUROPE AND THE UNITED STATES.\u2014 London, Nov.12.\u2014A despatch from Jibutil, in the Gulf of Aden, says the Dutch warship \u2018Gelderland,\u2019 on which Mr.Kurger is a passenger, started at noon on Saturday for Port Said.Mr.Kruger will debark at Marseilles.It has been ascertained that when ex- President Kruger lands at Marseilles the formal announcement will be made that he is a special envoy, duly empowered by the governments of the Transvaal and Orange Free State to make representations on their behalf to the European power, and, if the opportumity arises or be afforded him, to treat fer peace with the British Government on the basis of legislative autonomy for the two republics.This announcement will probably be followed by a telegraphic appeal to European sovereigns and the President of the United States for an international conference upon the future of the two republics.Dr.Leyds, the Transvaal\u2019s representative in Europe, has prepared this appeal in accordance with instructions and is merely awaiting the old ex-president\u2019s signature.Dr.Leyds has assured Mr, Kruger that there will be little difficulty about his being personally received by the various sovereigns.It seems impossible that he can thus delude himself.Before Mr.Kruger can make an appeal to the powers England will have formally notified them of the annexation of the republics and it would be an unfriendly act for any power then to receive the ex-president as an accredited envoy.FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.Capetown, Nov, 11.\u2014A railway accident to-day at Where, elght miles from

evening from Halifax, after spending a week in the military hospital there.He is now a patient in the Citadel hospital, as his wound has not yet healed, and it is feared he will have to undergo an

returned from South Africa, held in the Chauteau Frontenac and presided over by Captain W.Price, it was decided to perpetuate the memory of the heroism of our brave boys by an annual banquet, on Feb.26, the date of the battle of Prardeberg.A permanent lo cal organization for the purpose was formed, with Lieut.-Colonel Pelletier as president, Lieut.À.E.Swift as vice- president, and Bert.Lambkin -as secretary, and the latter was instructed to write to the officers and men of the First Contingent in other parts of Canada suggesting that similar action be taken by them.BRITISH ARMY REFORMS, RECRUITS TO RECEIVE - TEN MONTHS\u2019 DRILL ANNUALLY.London, Nov.12.\u2014According to the] \u2018Daily Mail\u2019 a scheme of army reform of a very sweeping character will come into operation early next year.: \u2018The scheme,\u201d says the \u2018Daily Mail,\u2019 \u2018will make the British private a trained soldier.Instead of a system giving the recruit merely a housemaid\u2019s work and\u2019 allowing nd more than six weeks\u2019 of military training, he will, in future, get ten months of scientific drilling, all fatigue and orderly duties being performed by a special corps of time-expired men.\u2018The first four months will be devoted to company training, including scouting, entrenching; bridging and taking cover.The.second four months will be used in battalion -mahoeuvres, attacking and defending positions, and.field firing.Two months will be given to grand manoeuvres on a.war scale.The remaining two monthy of the first year will be occupied by furloughs.~~ ~~ \u2018The greatest attention will be devoted to marksmanghip, and the allowance of ammunition will be.greatly increabed.Artillery training will also be improved.The War Office is\u2019 now acquiring control of large tracts of land in various parts of run to earth.One of the military THE MONTREAL THE IDOL\u2019 OF FRANCE.KRUGER TO FOLLOW ITINERARY CF NAPOLEON ON HIS RETURN FROM ELBA.New York, Nov.11.\u2014The reception to bz tercered to former Presui>ut Kruger on his arrival in France is rufemed tu by the special correspondent of the New York \u2018Tribune\u2019 this morning, as follows: .Manifestations in preparation for the expected arrival at Marseilles next Saturday of ex-President Kruger are regarded as a misfortune by sober-mind- ed Frenchmen, who wish to maintain friendly relations with Great Britain.The government is fully alive to the danger and has made strenuous, but vain, efforts to bring it about that the \u2018Gelderland\u2019 drop her undesirable passenger at Brindisi.M.Cornely, in the \u2018Figaro\u2019; H.Hebrard, in the \u2018Temps\u2019; M.Yves Guyot, in the \u2018Siècle\u2019 and other champions of common sense in this country have long contended that there are many litical and economic reasons why France and Great Britain should live together in peace and harmony.The \u2018Figaro\u2019 has had the courage to point out that the British boy- cot at the exposition, provoked by ribald caricatures of the Queen, cost France several hundred millions of francs.To-day, not only calm, thoughtful politicians and writers, but even Nationalist leaders, such as M.Jules Lemaitre and M.Quesnay de Beaurepaire, guided perhaps by prudence rather than conviction, advise their followers to abstain from celebrating Kruger\u2019s arrival in such a way as to provoke counter expressions of hostility from Great Britain.The \u2018Figaro\u2019 \u2018Debats,\u201d \u2018Soleil,\u2019 \u2018Temps,\u2019 all try to explain away the prevailing exuberance of pro-Boer \u2018enthusiasm as a Nationalist manoeuvre directed against the Waldeck-Rousseau Cabinet, but it must be remembered that the welcome which was to be accorded to Kruger at Paris at the Hotel De Ville was voted by the Socialist minority as well as by the Nationalist majority.It is impossible for anyone with his eyès open to blink at the fact that ruger is regarded by the masses of the people as a hero and martyr.This is the real danger; and although Kenator Pauliat, the president of the Frencn committee for the\u2019 independence of the Boers, in conversation with the \u2018Tribune\u2019 correspondent, expresses his absolute conviction that the proposed welcome to Kruger will not be accompanied bv any violent explosions of feeling offensive to Great Britain, he, nevertheless, in ccmmon accord with Dr.Leyds.is organizing a sort of triumphal journey for the ex-president from Marseilles to Paris, with halts and demonstrations at Avignon, \u2018Aix en\u2019 Provence, Lyons, Dijon and other towns- singularly enough, following the historical itinerary adopted by Napolesk on his retum from a.; There is no denying the fact that Mr.Kruger has become the pspular\u2018herh of the hour.Extenuating cireurgttantes that can be urged in behalf of the French republic are that from #fevvery outset of the Transvaal war theysthave heard but one side of the awestion.With rare exceptions, like Yves Guyot.in the \u2018Siècle, no newspaper no writer, no speaker, has had the pluck to analyze the facts impartially.© The result is that France has each morning been served at the breakfast table with systematic travesties of truth in all that concerns the war in South Africa.Nevertheless, in spite of this fresh outburst of the hero worship, which periodically takes possession of the French nation, it is gratifying to record that the keenest observers are unanimous in the belief that the cloud gathering at Marseilles wil vanish without being followed by a storm.DR.McAULEY INDIGNANT.SAYS HE WILL SUE THE PORTUGUESE GOVERNMENT FOR FALSE ARREST.Paris, Nov.10\u2014Dr.H.L.MecAuley, of Chicago, who has arrived in this city from the Transvaal, tells the representative of the Associated Press that he intends to present a claim for a hundred thousand dollars damages against the Portuguese Government for imprisonment at Lorenzo Marquez as s004 as ke can lay his case before the State Department at Washington, He says he is one of the few Chicago members of the Red Cross Society, who refused to tear off the badge of the.or- \u201cganization end shoulder a rifletin be: half of the Boers.Throughout the war Dr.McAuley alleges he stucix to the ambulance and tended both the Boer and British wounded.\u2019 Dr.McAuley is very much incensed at the treatment which he declares Americans received at Lorenzo Marquez, being singled out for arrest among all vhe refugees.He himself, he adds, was thrown into prison for six days, finally being
