instance of what a mixed volunteer regiment brings together, lc said at Belmont four men besides himself were detached to dig a well.The officer in charge questioned them as to their occupation in private life, and found he had a lawyer, a fourth year siu- dent, an electrig engineer, a former officer end a telephonist.Private Cameron told how he was ome of the party to scarch for the dead on the Belmont bat- tiefield.Some were found with lips bitten through rather than give utterance to any signs of pain.One thing which unpressed everybody greatly was the wrext friendship which sprang up

The St.Martin\u2019s Church Y.M.C.A.met last evening, the rector, the Rev.G.Osborne Troop, presiding.Several hours were enjoyably spent in listening to information given by the members on the theory of tvolution, the animal kingdom, and the receipts and expenditure of the city of Montreal.It was held in the latter connection that the taxation in Montreal was inadequate to civic requirements, being, in fact, lower than in any other city on the continent.It was suggested that instead of a fixed revenue and ill-kept streets, etc., as now, it would be better to levy each year a tax which would meet the requirements of the public service, mo more and no less.One result of adopting this plan would be that citizens would then have more interest in sending men to the council who would not squander the civic means.Regret was expressed that the English-speaking electors of the city did not take ae great an interest as their French neighbors in seeing whether the taxes paid were wisely administered.On Tuesday evening mext the association will hold a reception in the gchool- room for three members of St.Martin\u2019s congregation lately returned from active service in South Africa.-\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 GOES INTO LIQUIDATION.Judge Taschéreau yesterday granted the petition of Mr.Frederick J.Smith and Dame Emma Steward, two of the testamentary executors and

to be Partially Borne by the Transvaal, NEW HOME FOR THE BOERS.London, Nov.18.\u2014Sir Micheal Hicks Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, * speaking this evening in Bristol, eaid it would not be his privilege in the next budget to relieve the taxpayers.Ie wished he could say that he was not about to increase the budget, but the government's expenditure had been enormous, and especially in China and South Africa.He declared emphatically, however, that the wealth of the Transvaal would have to bear part of the strain.\u2018Of course,\u201d said Sir Michael, \u2018we must not spoil the future of the Transvaal by attempting to impose upon it a greater burden than it could reasonably bear.That would be cutting our own throats.Therefore, the British taxpayers must necessarily bear a large part of the cost of the war.\u2019 He also emphasized the fact that the maintenance of a strong army and navy would involve a further considerable expenditure, -HOLLAND TO THE RESCUE, AN ASYLUM OFFERED KRUGER IN SOUTH-WEST AFRICA.London, Nov.14\u2014 \u2018Holland has expressed a willingness,\u2019 says the Berlin correspondent of the \u2018Daily Express,\u201d \u2018to purchase on behalf of

15,000 Transvaal Boers to trek through the Kalahari desert to territory in Germen south-west Africa.Arrangements, therefore, are now being made to welcome the vanquished Boers as a new and valu- le element for the colony.KRUGER\u2019S JOURNEY NORTH, \u2014_\u2014 SS.\u2018GELDERLAND\u2019 REACHED SUEZ THIS MORNING.Suez, Nov.14\u2014The Dutch cruiser \u2018Gelderland.\u2019 with former President Kruger on board, has arrived here.New York, Nov.14.\u2014Michael Davitt, M.P, has cabled from Paris to the \u2018Journal and Advertiser\u2019 in part as fol- ibws: \u2018It is a unique testimony to the great individuality.of President.Kruger that his voyage to Europg is watched with more intense interest by the continental press than is the progress of the war iu China.All speculation agrees upon two points.There are to be important revelations.In one well informed quarter it is asserted that Mr.Chamberlain will soon have an opportunity of reading private letters found in Jo- bannesburg that will place the active complicity of the Colonial Office in the Jameson raid beyond further dispute.Proof will also be adduced that Kruger purchased the ammunition for the Boer armies from Birmingham firms in which the family and friends of the Colonial Secretary have a large direct interest.\u2018The \u2018Gelderland\u2019 will stop at Port Said only to.receive despatches, and will proceed in a few days to Marseilles, where she is expected to arrive\u2019 on Nov.19.SANNA\u2019S POST AFFAIR.CHARGE OF COWARDIGE WITHDRAWN BY LORD ROSSLYN.' \u2014_ London, Nov.14.\u2014Lord Roberts,

General Smith-Dorrien, published in another column, who commanded the Nineteenth Brigade during the most important phases of the war, and adds: \u2018I venture to feel that the above expression of opinion from this well known and acknowledged most capable officer is full justification of my administration of the battalion since I took command.Raw and inexperienced, with few exceptions, the militia battai- ion was in three months made fit to hold its own in the field with the best disciplined regiments of the British army.I am sorry to say that a few cases of enteric and dysentery have lately developed in the battalion, but of a mild description.Otherwise the list is not large, approximately not more than twenty.\u2019 ns CANADIAN HORSES, MAJOR PHILLIPS SAYS THEY ARE THE BEST OBTAINABLE FOR SERVICE.New Orleans, La., Nov.14.\u2014Major J.H.Phillips, of the British army, arrived here to-day to take charge oi the ship- meni of mules and horses from New Orleans to South Africa or such other points that the British army may need them.It is given out that 3,000 more mules have already been ordered, and 2,000 more horses, and that four Britisn transports are already on their way here for their transportation.Whether the purchases will be continued beyond the 5.000 already ordered will depend on circumstances.Major Phillips has been engaged in buying mules for the British army in Spain and Italy.The Spanish mules were shipped through Gibraltar and San Sebastian, but the Bri-ish government has decided to confine itself wholly to America.The Canadian horse has been found best for service in Africa.The reason of the continued dersand for pack mules long after all that was supposed to be needed had been shipped to Africa, was due to the heavy losses.The animals suffered not only from the African insects and the diseases peculiar to the country, but from lack of food and the heavy work and long marches In three days General French had lost 6,000 of his 9,000 pack mules.Tke compact, heavy-sat cavalry horse bad stood e the mule, a3 he did not require as much ood.SPANISH-AMERICAN CONGRESS, \u2014_\u2014 SOME VIGOROUS REMARKS.\u2014 Madrid, Nov.13.\u2014During the proceedings of the Spanish-American Congress today, and while the report of the committee on arbitration was under consideration, the Count De Luque, professor of international law in the University of id, delivered a violent speech gainet the Spanish-American treaty of Paris, declaring that \u2018people ought to protest against the feudalism that exists now in questions of international order.\u2019 Senor Groizard, former minister of foreign affairs, qualified this doctrine as \u2018dangerous.\u2019 \u2018 Other committees proposed the establishment of a Spanish-American bank with branches in all the large towns of plied by Spain, and the remainder by the Latin republics ; advised the government of Spain to reduce railway and other tariffs and to reform the customs duties in order to facilitate the importation of Spanish-American produce ; and advocated the concession by the Spanish- American government of navigation bounties, the reduction of harbor duties, and the establishment of coaling stations and stations for stores.Other recommendations were that the Spanish-American governments should that permanent expositions for Spanish and Spanish-American produce should be established, that all sorts of .facilities should be extended to commercial travellers, and that an export and importation bank, with numerous branches, should be founded.At noon the Queen Regent received in audience the members of the congress and their wives.AN UNWELCOME PRESENT.New York, Nov.13.\u2014The Rev.Dr.John F.Peters, rector of St.Michael's P.E.Church, received to-day a

the concert of powers in China.The attitude of Germany and the United States meets with disapproval, the former because Count von Wal- dersee has sent a columm to destroy the Ming Tombs, an act which is regarded as needlessly vindictive, and the latter because it threatens to break up the concert.The \u2018Daily Chronicle\u2019 comments strongly upon the attitude of the United States as a \u2018feeble compromise which it is impossible to accept.\u2019 The \u2018Morning Post\u2019 says: \u2018It would be unreasonable for the United States to break up the concert because they do not desire \u2018indemnity.The powers would probably be willing- to Côustmar £he objections of the Upited States.:however, the United {States has in view go new combinatiox of powers it would be necessary

says: \u2018American opinion on the Chinese problem 18 too uncertain to be regarded seriously.\u2019 Dr.Morrison, wiring to the \u2018Times\u2019 on Sunday, expresses the opinion that China will \u2018readily accede to all the terms of the conjoint note except the execution of princes and officials, which it would be impossible to fulfil while the court is in the hands of these very offi- cals.\u2019 \u2018Considerable curiosity is felt at Tientsin,\u2019 says the correspondent of the \u2018Times,\u201d \u2018as to the whereabouts of the Japanese forces, which, though not leaving the country, are disappearing from Pekin and Tientsin, it is not known whither.\u2019 : \u2014 FIGHTING - IN KWANGSI, SIX THOUSAND REBELS FELL AT TSANCHOU Victoria, B.C., Nov.14 \u2014Further particulars

published.\u2018The ecenes I have witnessed during the three days since the steamer left Blagovestchensk,\u201d he says, \u2018are horrible beyond the powers of description.It is the closing tableau of a fearful human tragedy.Two thousand were deliberately drowned at Moro, two thousand at Rabe and eight thousand around Bla- govestchensk, a total of twelve thousand corpses encumbering the river, among which were thousands of women and children.Navigation was all but impossible.Last week a boat had to plough her way through a tangled and mangled mass of corpses lashed togetber by their long hair.The banks were literally covered with corpses.In the curves of the stream were dark, putrid, smelling masses of human flesh and bone, surging and swaying in the steamer\u2019s wake and wash.The captain vainly ordered full speed ahead.The sight and smell will be ever with us.\u2018From Blagovestchensk to Aigun, 45 kilometres, numerous villages studded the bank, with a thriving, industrious population of over a hundred thousand.That of Aigun was twenty thousand.No one will ever know the number of.those \u2018who perished by shot, sword and stream.Not a village is left.The silence of

JUDGMENT.RESPONSIBILITY OF A MUNICIPALITY FOR THE CONDITION OF ITS ROADS.Sweetsburg, Nov.14.\u2014The Hon.Mr.Justice Lynch rendered a very important judgment on Monday in the Superior Court at Sweetsburg in the case of Miltimore against the township of Brome, involving the responsibility of & municipality for the proper condition of its roads.The decision of His Honor establishes a very far-reaching precedent and is believed to be of immense importance the furtherance of the good.roads nioement which Bas besn receiving sous, è of Quebec, and particularly the district of Bedford, during the past few years.Action was taken by one John Milti- more against the township of Brome under article 793 of the Municipal Code, not for damages in compensation for injuries resulting from the imperfect condition of the particular road complained of, but to secure the convenience and security which @s a citizen he is entitled to under ihe laws of the province.Article 798 of the Municipal Code provides that \u2018every corporation is bound to maintain the roads end sidewalks under its control in the condition required by law, by the proces verbaux end by the by-laws which regulate them under penalty not exceeding twenty dollars for each infraction thereof.Such corporation is further reepon- sible for all damages resulting from the non-execution of such procès verbaux bylaws or provisions of law, saving its recourse against the officers or ratepayers in default.\u201d \u2018The condition required by law\u2019 ie set forth in article 788 as follows: \u2018Every municipal road must be at all times kept in good order, free from holes, cavities, ruts, slopes, stones, incum- brances, or impediments whatsoever, with hand rails at dengeros places in He describes under date of Sept.6 what ed Sir Robert Hart, (director v£-Chinéz6, | der ae Chine passage of vehicles of every description, both by day and night\u2019 Plaintiff complained that the road in question did not fulfil these requirements; that at certain points it was too narrow for the free passage of vehicles ; that it was obstructed by stones and ledges, and that a certain dangerous approach to a bridge was not protected by a handrail.The defendant pleaded that no injury had ever resulted from the existing conditions ; that vehicles could freely pass along it ; that the conditions were such as to require an exorbitant expenditure of money to make it entirely satisfactory as a road, and that the reasonable interpretation of the law had been complied with.His Honor, in rendering judgment, dwelt upon the two aspects of the law as found in the code, in one case the municipality being liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty dollars for each infraction, and in the other case responsible for the damages resulting therefrom.He had already been called upon to give judgment in the case of a suit for damages arising out of imperfect roads, but a case such as the one in question had hitherto never come before the court.His Honor held thet while considerable discretion was left to the court in the matter of damages, the law was very explicit in regard to the matter of penalties for infraction.While the law must not be interpreted in any captious spirit, proof of the absence of reasonable precautions must necessarily be followed by the penalty provided.His Honor held that ob stacles that might easily be removed and dangers that might easily be obviated came well within the reasonable interpretation of the law.Under our climatic conditions it is impossible to avoid mud- holes in the spring and fall, but there is no excuse for stones which five minutes\u2019 work would remove, being left upon the highway to obstruct travel.And yet scarcely a mile of road in the country, said His Honor, with emphasis; but gives evidence of this kind of carelessness.The necessity of handrails at dangerous declivities was dwelt upon, and a case in which the township of Dun- ham was sued for damages arising out of an accident due to the absence of such safeguards was cited, the judgment for damages having been sustained by the Court of Appeals.His Honor concluded that inasmuch as proof had been made that the road in question was obstructed by stones, and that a hand railing had not been provided where such is | required for the public safety, he condemned the township of Brome in the sum of two dollars and costs.The Hon.J.C.McCorkill for plaintiff ; Mr.W.S.Ball for defendant.OIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS.Ottawa, Nov.14\u2014The annual civil service

GENERAL HOSPITAL.Toronto, Nov, 13.\u2014A life-saving operation of the most uncommon and surpris ing kind was performed the other day at the General Hospital.A patient was almost literallly cut in half.Not a vestige remained of his legs, and all the bones of both hips being removed.Only as a last resort for saving the spark of life would such a dari operation be ventured, and its successful culmination seems little short of marvellous.The patient, a laborer in this city, suffered from the disease known as spreading angrene.It started several months ago from an injury to his legs, inflicted in an accident.The peculiarity of the disease is that its poison gradually spreads through the body, using the arteries as channels, so that though externally the disease may not seem to have extended far, it may internally be approaching vital parts.The operation removing se much of the man\u2019s anatomy was performed on Friday last, and so far the patient has not only maintained life, but has been gaining.So far as is known an operation of like gravity has been success fully carried through but once else- here, which was in a London | The loss of bleod ensuing upon an

will furnish him with powers of locomotion when he is recovered further.\u2014\u2014\u2014 NEWFOUNDLAND ELECTIONS UNPRECEDENTED INTEREST MANIFESTED IN LONDON.London, Nov.14\u2014The overwhelming
