OBJECT OF THEIR VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES.New York, Feb.18\u2014It has beeñ announced that Dr.Mueller, the former consul of the Orange Free State to The Hague, was one of the passengers on the steamship \u2018St.Paul,\u201d wnich arrived here on Sunday.It was said that Dr.Mueller was sailing under the name of \u2018f.(astberg,\u2019 so that his departure from Europe might be kept a secret.Inquiry was made of Mr.John V.L.Pruyn, çon- cerning the visit of Dr.Mueller.Mr.Pruyn said: \u2018Henry Mueller, the Boer emissary, has been in this country ior a month.He has been travelling through the western part of the state.I think he is at Albany at present.He will come to the city very soon.Just when 1 do not know.\u2019 Paris, Feb.18\u2014Dr.Leyds, the European agent of the Boers, who is now in this city, was questioned regarding the object of the mission.to the United States of the Boer delegates, Messrs.Wessels and Wolmarans, who sailed for New York from Boulogne on Feb.14, en the steamer \u2018Rotterdam.\u2019 He replied that they were merely going to America in response to invitations from American pro-Boers, with the view of reaching an arrangement for the distribution of funds and other assistance contributed by the people of the United States towards the Boer cause.In other quarters, however, the impression obtained that the journey is prompted by the developments of the Anglo-German controversy as to the attitude of the powers previous to the Spanish-American war, which, the members of the Boer delegation believe, has produced a change of sentiment in the United States towards Great Britain, on account of the pro-Spanish-actions attributed to Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador at Washington, in April, 1898.The Boers hope to utilize this suppesed revulsion of feeling in an endeavor to get the United States Government to modify its attitude towards mediation.AN The \u2018Republique Francaise\u2019 says it learns that the Boer delegates have not gone to America, but to the Transvaal, by way of Delagoa Bay, to try to end the War.AN IRISH PLOT.London, Feb.18.\u2014A despatch to the \u2018Chronicle\u2019 from Paris states that there | is reason to -believe that there is some truth in the recent rumors that an Irish revolutionary committee has been started in Paris to aid the cause with a dynamite campaign, Funds have already been supplied from sources which are known.-l'he acting chief of the Irish-American committee ha$ just returned from South Africa: London, Feb.18\u2014~The \"sudden de- pasture of the Boer delegates for \u2018the nited States has far more significance than the general public has supposed.It is learned from a hitherto reliable source at The Hague that a plan \u2018has been decided upon to prevent the remnant of the fighting guerillas now in the field in South \u2018Africa, à large majority of whom are Natal and Cape rebels liable to trial for 4reason, from eventually falling into the bands of the British.They cannot keep up the struggle many months longer, and it is the knowledge of this fact and to arrange ior the carrying out of the scheme proposed that Messrs, Wessels and Wol- Marans baïledr for New, York from Boulogne on the steamier \u2018 \u201cRotterdam\u201d last Friday.That plan.is neither more nor less than the migration\u2019 in-bulk of the burghers now in the field to one of the westérn states, presumably Texas or New Mexico.It is urged that comparativek little difficulty Sill be encountered by the ers in reaching neutral territory.in small numbers, whence they .can\u2018make their way from South Africa, as thousands of others, practically foreigners, who took part in the early stages of the campaign, have already done, In fact, it is doubtful.if Britain would try to prevent them from getting away.The Bothas, the Steyns,.and the De: Wetts love to posé às patriots who could never be compelled to surrender.The question of transportation is of course of the first importance.Te is ve - task the big Ameri Railway, to arrange this that the Boer delegates.have sailed for New York.= Companies have offered \"to ) largely to the expensé, for the sak\u2019 of the ultimate setilememt of sparsely populated districts.In view: of \u201cthe fact that the Boers are ranchmen rather than farmers, many, of théir friends at The Hague think -Zhat .if they decide to leave lheir native: land the best alternative would he Texas or New Mexico.The Teutonic element in the North American Umion is one of its best elements, and has quickly absorbed the American theory of government and social life.Hence, ay the advocates of the Boer emigration to the American south-west, the Dutch Afrikander would there repeat the history of the Dutch who founded New Amsterdam.LOYAL NEW ZEALAND.Wellington, iN.Z., Feb.18.\u2014With the departure of the minth contingent from Auckland yesterday New Zealand has sent five thousand men to the front, a number which, on a population basis, was equal to thirty-five thousand from Canada, twenty-four thousand from Australia, and two hundred and seventy-one thousand from the United Kingdom.In addressing the men the Premier, Mr.Seddon, said New-Zealanders were resolved to assist in bringing the war to an end, and if a twentieth contingent were required would give it cheerfully.KRITZINGERS TRIAL.London, Feb.18.\u2014The press censor in South Africa is evidently active, as the first intimation that the trial of Commandant Kritzinger, who was captured by General French in December last, had commenced, came from the War Secretary, Mr.Brodrick, in the House of Commons, yesterday afternoon.The secretary did not volunteer to furnish any details, but he informed a ques- tiomer that Lord Kitchener would certainly see that the Boer general had every facility for producing witnesses.It developed during Mr.Brodrick\u2019s answer that the trtal began on Feb.15.GENERAL HECTOR MACDONALD TO SUCCEED

and other United States cities.Snow began to fall about seven o'clock and com: tinued falling more or less heavily until eleven last night, when it settled down to a steady but very light fall, : During the first few hours the snow was accompanied by considerable wind, which mace the storm appear more seri ous than it really was, Not more than four or five inches fell during the nigat.The road department and the street räil- way officials, as there was a oig drop 11 made their preparations accordingly.the Street Railway Company sent out their sweepers all over their system about nin o'clock, and the road department got où its snow ploughs early this morning: There was consequently.no delay 19 street traffic.The wind for a shorf time last night attained a velocity of 49- miles an

the gambling is a feature of the place, but jt is permitted only at certain hours ; \u2018the social evil has not been entirely extirpated, but it does not flaunt itself in the faces of décent women and children, who are leading as quiet and comfortable lives in Dawson Uity to-day, as \u2018they could in Moncreal.For a marvellous change has taken place.Dawson City is a modern town, of seven thousand people, with a mayor and council, fire brigade, waterworks, law and order, and\" all the accessories of rcivilization.: ; .Except, perhaps, the bath.There is mo bath in Dawson Cit; The .waterworks are conducted under some diflicul- ty m the winter time.The hydrenis are kept from freezing by having little houses built over them, in which fires are kept burning all the time.\u2018the \u2018water runs through: pipes which are open at the end, and irom which you can se- \u2018cure your water supply yourself, but the custom is to allow certain parties to wend it, at: the rate of twenty-five cents } 2 bucket.You can have it by she week, for four dollars, at the rate of \u2018three buckets à day.Perhaps Dawson will have a bath, some day ; perhaps it will be wholly wiped out, in the course of ten or twenty years, but at present ihose of cleanly habits must resort to dhe old-fashioned tub.This is according to Mr.Justice Craig, who has been taking a rest from hs judicial labors at Dawson City.Judge Craig, who was a well-known lawyer in Ontario, and whose people belong to Renfrew, has been in the Yukon country for a year and a half.Hé is now in the city, in consultation with his medical adviser, as the heavy burden of work which was placed upon his shoulders led to a breakdown in health, from which he is.slowly recovering.The streets of Dawson city are as \u2018safe as those of Montreal, according to the judge.The administration is clean and \u201cwholesome.There had been complaints regarding a former regime, complaints for the truth of which he could pot vouch.But the present set of officials were doing their duty and giving satisfaction.There was a law passed, in response to the agitation of the people, that no official should stake out claims in the Yukon, as it had been elleged was the cistom™ im the begin- ming.How was that matter manipulaf- ed?the judge was asked.\u2018Well, à man would come to the office and say he wanted a certain claim registered.The official would \u2018think a moment, and then say that he was afraid that particular claim had \u2018already been staked out.However, jhe had better come to-morrow.In the meantime the official would send ja friend to the property, and when the iman came the following day, be would Advertisements.ASTONISHING PROGRESS {Medical Science has Advanced by Leaps and Bounds.(Now an Absolute Cure for Ehoumatism ' has been Discovered \u2014 It 1s no Experiment, having been Successfully Proven in many of the Very Worst and Apparently Helpless Cases, _ Sundridge, Ont, Feb.17.\u2014(Special).\u2014 \u2018Physicians and others who study the \u2018trzatment and cure of disease have been greatly interested in the case of \u2018Wm.Doeg, a farmer living in Strong \u201cTownship, about four miles from here.Mr.Doeg had Rheumatism so bad as 40 be a cripple for years and was completely cured by d\u2019s Kidney Pills, In order to verify the report he was visited at his home and the following signed statement of the facts secured :\u2014 * For four years I ered - excruciating torture.I was scarcely an hour free from pain.The trouble commenced in my back where it -often remained stationary for months, and so\u2018intense was the pain that I could not.lie down or take rest, but had to sit night and day, in a chair.\u2018The [pain prould then mors to other parts of m when In my knees À was unable to walk and confined constantly to my room.- \u2018I was treated by several doctors and so tried many medicines without receiving any benefit.Almost in despair I feared I would never again- experience the pleasure of being free from pain.*My attention was at last directed to some remarkable cures of Rheumatism by Dodd\u2019s Kidney Pills.I bought a box and began to use them.I soon found that they were helping me a little and 50 I continued the treatment.\u2018In a few weeks I was well and able to go about my work which I had not been able to do for over four years.This was years ago and I have not since had the slightest return .of the trouble.I have worked om the farm mass ever ; Since and have always felt and well.= \u2018 \u2018J know that Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life and restored me to.health and strength.- - - \u201cI believe they will cure - any case.of Rheumatiæn, for La eu za bad a {case ny, own, amd Éléz \u2018etes : 4 be told that the «claim was staked out by another party:* © .\u2018As a matter of fact, then, nome of the officials of the présent regime\u2019 ac- jquire property, in thet manner?\u201d \u2018Oh, no\u201d \u2018Or in any manner?\u2018Well, I could not say that.\u2018They do acquire property?\u2018Oh, of course, property can-be acquired, and is acquired.Of courde, it is against the law to.do so, but it is done quietly, under cover, and nothing happens.\u2019 ; Asked how long the country would last as a placer proposition for tea years at the least, and if the quartz promised well it might go on indeiinite- ly.But after the placer mining was done, in ten years, if the quartz did not turn out well, why the whole place would become a thing of the past, and Dawson city, with its institutions and valuable property would be s wiped out.That is why people in any.sort of business figure on big profits.They do not expect the place to last.They do not want, in any case, to spend their lives in the place.a man goes in he \u2018says he will spend two years there.In the winter, the cold is very severe, much more so than .Siberia, and there is a period of semidarkness, and the cold, which Teaches 75 ees below zero, one does not find life at all exhilarating.| More than once the lawyers in the judge's court have begged him to adjourn until the cold and the darkness would pass away.\u2018Well,\u2019 said the judge, \u2018don\u2019t you think you might as well work as loaf?Dawson is still a dear place in which to live.You pay your servant $125 per month, and she does not do the washing either.The washerwoman gets a day and her board.A day nurse charges $10 a day; a night nurse $15 per night.The doctor's fee is $10 a visit.A glass of beer costs fifty cents.That is also the price of à cigar.Judge Dugas and Judge Craig administer justice in the high\u2019 courts, which embraces the whole Yukon territory in their purview.A county court judge in Ontario at $2,500 per annum is better off than a indge in the Yukon country at $7,000.Indeed, the judge came out at the wrong end last year.People think, and the government evidently thinks, that the salary is.pretty fair; it is, as a fact, quite inadequate.There is, of course, the sense of duty, which sustains.There were one hundred and fifty cases in arrears when the judge went out.These cases involved large amounts of money, and the difficulties were great owing to the fact that new laws had to be created to meet the exigencies of the case.Should there be quartz mining upon a large scale, there will be plenty of employment for lawyers, for quartz makes litigation.There are two magistrates and the two judges, with the commissioner and the Yukon council.Last year the two judges issued 800 writs.In Ontario there were 4,400 issued, and there are eighty judges in Ontario and two in the Yukon.=, The country is beginning to grow things now\u2014hay and vegetables, potatoes, and the like; but the long winter, when the mails are scarce and sometimes non-exis- tent, is hard to endure.Sometimes you do not get\u2019 a paper for months.O course, there are the three papers of the city itself\u2014daily papers, which now give telegraphic news.\u2018 } The administration of the law is all it should be.There is perfect impartiality.Mr.Ross, the commissioner, is a strong man, a man of resource.He bas large powers, as he must have, seeing that he is so far from Ottawa.Then there is the Mounted Police force, which does admirable work.: Dawson City has been modernized to a quite wonderful extent.Little children play, on the spot where vice, unashamed, plied its trade.The common school is open, and one hears the chjld: ish voices conning the lessons.The wild days when the miners\u2014or, rather, the mine owners\u2014used to come into _the town and paint it red, are gone.It is not the miners, with the five dollars a day, who drink beer at fifty cents per glass; it is the owners.\u2018About this whiskey business, judge.\u2018What is the law on the matter?\u201cWell, a certain number of wholesalers get a permit to bring liquor in.This liquor must be sold to retailers only, and these retailers must have a license.\u2018And the importers are limited in number?\u201cYes\u201d \u2018Then they have what is called a cinch?\u201d \u2018I should say so,\u201d remarked the judge, with a smile.\u2018The retailers make large profits?\u2018They must do so, by the prices they charge.\u2019 -\u2014 but there are four summer months which are delightful.Prices will come down a little, but house rent will alwaya 1e- main very*high, and then there is always the uncertainty as to permanency, which makes men who invest money in the lace insistent.upon speedy returns before the end comes.\u2014> .NEWS IN BRIEF.The United States House of Representatives yesterday repealed the War Taxes bill by a unanimous vote.Ts.Ann Woodsworth, widow of the late Richard Woodsworth, and a resident of Toronto for -eighty-three years, is dead at the age of 93 years.The Portage la Prairie,\u201d Man., Council bas, decided to impose a tax of $l a ea east or the United States and sold by auction.en ol President Roosevelt yesterday sent to the Senate a message recommending the retirement of Naval .Constructor Richmond H.-Hobson, and in accordance with this recommendation, Senator Gallinger\u2019 immediately introdüced a bill providing for Mr.Hobson\u2019s transfer to the retired Nst.In his message the President \"gives as his reason the trouble tbat Mr.Hobson has 1900 with his eyes.;

What \u2018is the situation?Simply this, \u2018that as a fulfilment of solemn pledges he fails to put in operation the law promised, and \u2018refers it to the people at a special elec tion in which the prohibitionists to win must poll not only a majority of the \u2018votes cast, but such majority must be \u2018equal to a majority of the votes polled \u2018at the preceding general election.At first this seems like an innocent proposal, but let us see what it means.Let us suppose there are four hundred thousand votes polled at the general election, and that on the referendum vote the prohi- \u2018bitionists poll one hundred and ninety- five thousand and the antis one hundred | and twenty-five thousand, a majority for prohibition of seventy thousand.o the prohibitionists win?Not at all.\u2018They have polled upwards of sixty per- \u2018cent of the vote palled, but that does not count.Let us suppose that the prohibitionists poll two hundred thousand and the antis-one hundred thousand, the pro- Hibitionists again lose.They have polled sixty-six and two-thirds percent of votes polled, but they lack one vote of polling a majority equal to a majority of the votes polled at the general election.Could anything be more un-British or un- ust?Surely, this proposal is \u2018fearfully 3 / m _ It is an intro- \u2018duction-of a principle hitherto unknown rinci- ple worked out means that the ballots cast on the question at issue do not decide that question at all, but it is decided by the number of ballots cast on \u2018other questions which may have no inore relgfion to prohibition than the premier, Mr.Ross, has to his pledges.1t is bal lot-stuffing of the worst kind, and provincial in its scope.Mr.Ross proposes, \u2018in effect, first, to stuff two hundred thou- sandy anti-prohibitionist votes jnto the ballot boxes.The antis can stay at home or busy, themselves in keeping prohibitionists at home, while two hundred thousand and one prohibition voters must vote to win.Judging from the plebi- of Mr.Brooks, where] scite votes and the votes on constitu- 1 tional amendments in the United States, it is safe to say that at least one hundred thousand voters who vote at general, election will not vote one way or the other \u2018on prohibition, yêt the votes they cast on the questions of school books, surplus, redistribution of seats, etc., will all be counted on prohibition, and the prohibitionists must poll fifty thousand votes more because these people, who presumably have no opinion on the pro- bition question, chose.to exercise their +4 nchise-on other questions.\"Such a.proposal is worthy only of the the Transvaal, and yet this prohibition- hopes this will be taken as a fulfilment of any promises the government.has made, and result in the elevation of the morals of the people.As Prof.Gold- \u201cwin Smith says: \u2018If we are to engage in 2 moral.reform, we should go about it in à moral way.I claim this proposal strikes at the very foundations of pub- liemoralty.It has been the proud boast of Liberalism that its leaders ever appeal to the moral convictions of the peo- | Ple, and as one who holds Liberal prin- I say it will be to the disgrace of {Liberalism if the Liberals of this province i do not rise in the majesty of their might and declare in tones that shall be heard throughout the empire that in this British land no Boer trickery wif be tolerated.It is no longer a question of prohibition, however important that may be.À principle of vastly greater importance is at stake, the principle of British rights and privileges, the loss of which would make prohibition itself useless.Let the friends of the principle of the referèn- dum not forget that a \u2018precedent\u2019 is now be established which will rule in all future referendum votes.A Sabbath observance bill may be presented to the \u2018people, and while only ten thousand voters might vote against it, yet one hundred and ninety-nine thousand votes for i it would fail to pass it.If anything more \u2018absurd wag ever proposel to the intelligent people of Ontario for approval I have failed to hear of it.I say it solemnly and in the fear of God, that if tre people, irrespective of party, race or creed , do not rise in righteous\u201d indignation against this proposed method of as- \u2018certeining the will of the electorate, 1.believe we shall have such a carnival of deceit, bribery and corruption ash never {before witnessed in this land.{ word more and I have done.Pre- Mmier Ross declared that the opiniof js | that this prohibition law, if it is to be efficient, must \u2018have something at its back stronger than a bare majority.Let us suppose another case under his proposed uppose two hundred thou- inst it, he then The more his ex- ecuses and methods in this case are stu.{ died; the more absurd they are shown to be.He has not shown the moral\u2018 cour- \u2018age to-honorably redeem his pledges to the tens of thousands whom he has had 4s his followers in the past, and in his : miserable attempt at evasion has brought forth a proposal at variance with the principles of Liberalism, and which no \u2018true Liberal who seeks the good of the .- 8.F.DIXON, The Parsonage, Seagrave, Feb, 14, Leds.TWO LARGE ELEVATORS - Thé Canadian Pacific Railway Co.pro- to commence construction early this Kpring of two new elevators at Fort Wil Ham, one to be built on the tank system, \u201cwill have a capacity of a million and a half bushels, with improved copper bottoms\u2019 to facflitate the handling of grain.The | other will be a half million bushels clear- Ang elevator to handle dirty or wet.grain.eM, yoar's crop.Sultan of Turkey or the ex-president of | ist (!)

Blondon, L.Leger, and Madame Veuve Leger, in the centre; and Messrs.Fortin, Clement, Major and Rou- .gille, in the west ward.As the Provincial license law, clause.21, uires that all applican or censes ehould furnish proof of the authentfeity of the twenty-five signatures attached to each petition, it was decided, on the recommen- - dation of the mayor, to defer the granting\" of licenses until the law bas been complied with in this respect, and the applicants were given until March 5 to furnish their.proof.> As grocers aré not licensed to sell liquor - the present holders of licenses, Messrs.Gagne.and Deguire.From the is evident that the councillors are \u2018decided to carry out the law and to see that signatures are properly authenticated.ALLIANCE CONVENTION.: ody An urgent call to the prohlbitjonists of Ontario has been sent out by the Ontario Alliance, to assemble in convention: in-To- ronto on \u2018Tuesday, Feb.25, at 9 am, in the Horticultural Pavilion: ;

article | upon \u2018The annexation of Canada,\u201d which appeared recently in \u2018Collier's Weekly,\u201d offers surprising reading.His principal reason for considering annexation our \u20ac 3 fo the fact that the proportion of Can: | ada\u2019s imports from \u2018the United States is | steadily increasing, that American capi tal is becoming more end more interest: ] ed in exploiting the resources of the Dominion and tells of Canadian owners -of water amd other privileges who are.confidently looking forward to the im creased value of their holdings which\u2019 is to result when this country hae be- come-a portion of Uncle Sam\u2019s dominions.Though annexation as an 19810 | existence, may be \u2018considered as deal | end buried, there is just sufficient truth in his observation on the undue.importance with which we ate prone to regard material and pecuniary considerations.bo.give his words a sting.We have always | been loud enough, in our boasts of loyal- \u2018ty but have ever gained far more! through our connection with the Empire than we contributed toward its main- \u2018tenance.Even to-day when Canadians | ares down their lives for the pre- sé ryation of British prestige we allow.the taxpayers of Great Britain to shoul: dér-\"the financial burden of the war.This is not as # should be.Great business corporations profess aë their chief end the acquisition of wealth and confess as: their politics the \u2018bread and butter\u2019 of their promoters.But a na- «tion should have a much.higher ideal of | existence, for it is not an aggregation of such corporations But of men and\u2019 women possessed of a patriotism more or less pure and unselfish.eous \u2018means is one of the grandest tasks\u2019 in which men have ever engaged.As the Hebrews were chosen to teach tite | world religion; the Greeks, beauty, and the Romans, justice, so the British seem to.have been selected to make known- the identity of liberty and law.Brit ish possessions are a shelter for the oppressed of every mation and a refuge: for ail who are persecuted for conscience sake.In all our borders there is an:at:/ greatest liberty compatible with the.safety of the state, and thus for the \u2018first.time history hes exhibited a great: empire.whose Tule rested not upon force.but on the good will of its peoplé.| and a more perfect panticipation in its \u2018task, rather than annexation by eur southern meighbof, is certainly our present trend.We look for a constant als- similation of the two great English conn- tries to each other and for such closer relations between: them as shall make our position, as politically bound to the one and by neighborhood\u201d to the other; a very delightful one.- THE REFÉRENDUM.\" There iy a great deal of feeling against the

understanding come to between Mr.Ross's Government and the liquor men, Abe latter having promised large.subscriptions to the Liberal election fund in refurn for a promise to bring in the referendum

in Christ \u2018Church Cathedral.An earnest address was delivered by the Very Rev.Dean Carmichael, of which the theme was that the Church of England in Camade must awake to the possibilities which lie before it.Im fifty or a hundred years at most the vast plains of the great North-West will be populated, so rapidly has flood of immigration.And the.( of England must take her part in that movement by means of her missions.It is hoped in September to obtain a board of missions to cover the whole Dominion, The Church must then give far more liberally than she does at present and substitute the rusticity of the provinces for a patriotic.interest in the work of the Church at laige.Probably there is mot a bishop, even in wealthy Ontario, who is not crippled by lack of means to carry on the work that bis conscience dictates to him.Canadians are apt to speak of their bäsliops in the North-West, but these bishops are responsible to England and not to the Canadian Church.The day may come when England will have to withdraw her support.The Canadian Church should awaken then to its responsibility in helping these noble clergy who are working among the heathen Canadians\u2014literally heathen, A mi sion committee will be needed in every parish to secure help from members of the Church individually to assist the board of missions.: The Dean referred to the fact that the members of the society before him, with other devoted Canadian women, had been \u2018thé instrument under God's will, of calling into existence a Canadian \u2018missionary spirit.It would be their destiny to be the auxiliary of the new board, and they must be ie right hand.to help in the.work, of expansion hy seeing that it:shall not be crip for means.; ; \"This afternoon the first of the series \u201cof
