CULPRITS.dhremaay now Anxieus to Mest she Demands of the Other Powers.London, Oct.1, 3.30 a.m.\u2014Beyond a sheaf of imperial edicts which throw into still worse confusion the complicated Chinese situation, there is little in today's news to arrest attention.From Shanghai comes an unconfirmed report that the allies have seised Shanhaikwan, All the news with regard to the edicts emanate from Shanghai.According to these advices, in addition to the edict ordering Grand Councillor Kung King to offer oblation before the coffin of Baron von Kettler end the edict directing that Li Hung Chang's entire plan be followed in regard to the punishment of the princes and high ministers of state responsible for the anti-foreign outrages, and the decrees ordering that funeral honors be paid in Pekin and To- Kio to the remains of Suguyams Akire, the murdered chancellor of the Japan- Emperor Kwansu has addressed further letters to the Caar and the.Mikado, renewing his request for their aid in the ions.IMPORTANCE OF THE ÉDICTS.Various opinions are expressed as to de importance of the (dicta, The Shanghai correspondent o \u2018Morning Post,\u2019 : \"The \u201csevere wnishment ordered by the

EMPEROR GRATEFUL.in them\u2019 Af: mye RIFT IN THE CLOUD.ATTITUDE OF THE EMPRESS IMPROVES PEACE PROSPECTS.London, Oct.1.\u2014There is little fresh light on the Chinese question.The most reasonable explanation that can be offered is that Lord Salisbury\u2019s answer bas been delayed until the German peo posads are modified and amended.Clear ly he must have objected to some fes- ture of the German cirzular, for other wise his answer would not have been deferred.As soon as the specific proposition for the surrender of the lenders of the anti-foreign movement is out of the way he can warmly approve what remains.There is evidence that the powers are gradually approaching a preliminary agreement, for the Empress is now reported to be turning against ber guilty manderins and marking them out for censure and punishmeat., Germany can easily reserve a portion of her own cas against China, because it is the strong: ont, owing to the murder of her ambas mdor, and this may offer a margin for the eoquisition of a province on the Russian plan, after the other powers Lave united with her in a general scheme for peace negotistions, GERMANY HESITATES.STATED SHE IS NOW READY TO

important despatohes were received to-day from Chins.Generally they tomded to confirm the events recorded on Saturday.From Canton Consul McWade reported the issue of the decree punishing Tesa and his colleagues, so that there is no longer doubt ss to the accuracy of Sheng's statement on that point.Mr.Conger also has received officiel notification of the Chinese Peace Commission which was forecasted by Minister Wu's advices weveral days ago.Mr.Conger made no reference to the condemnatory decree, hence it is inferred that it was not in sued when his despatch was sent last Thureday.The next of these two des- Patches is as follows :\u2014 \u2018 Canton, (China), Oct.I \u2018 Bocretary of State, Washington, D.C, ! Decrees just ismed.Emperor blames ministers for whole trouble.Orders Tosn, Kangi and other officials degraded sod punished by Imperial courts.Emperor holds Tuan snd others entirely for bloodshed.McWADE* \u2018Pekin, Sept.27, via Taku, Sept.20.\u2018 Secretary of State, Washington, D.C., \u2018Have received notice today from Prince Ching thet he Earl Li, Jung Lee, and Viceroys Tin Yi and Chang Cup Tung will act in concert in negotiations for pemce.Jung Lee is in the interior.Li Hang Chang is at Tientsin.\u2018(Signed), UONGER.It is evident that the two vicoroys mentioned are Liu Kun Yi, the Viceroy of Nanking, and Chang Chih Tung, the Viceroy of Wu Chang, the difference in welling being in telegraphy transmission.The appointment of Yung Lu is not like ly to be satisfactory to any of the powers, as he is genersliesimo of the Imperial troops and is regarded as mainly responsible for the persistent fight on the legations during the crisis.The other commissioners are highly acceptable.Li Hung Chang's long stay at Tientsin is exciting nome comment, as he is aware of the American instructions to Minister Conger to open negotiations with him at Pekin.It gives the idea thet Barl Li is not fully mtisfied that the reactionary element is overcome at Pekin, and is awaiting more positive assursaces.BATTLE OF BALLOTS, fir, Chamberiain Llected by Acclamation.London, Oct.1.\u20148ixteen English and Irish boroughs, electing twenty members of the House of Commons, are polling today so that tonight's returns will furnish rome indication of the trend of publie opinion.Winston Churchill is among the candidates yhose fate will be decided to-day.Another long list of unopposed re turng, brings the total number of thos already elected up to 2.30 p.m.to-day, to 110, as follows: Conserva:ives, 78: Unionists, 18;

he was always forging ahead, leaving & wmituation when he thought he had exhausted its posalbili- ties, and pressing on to self-im t through almost impassable dimculties.From farm work he went to weaving, and thea to quarrying.He taught himself to write at this period.He bought some roundhand copy lines end some hali-text, and never lost an opportunity of practicing .At the same time he got bold of an old letter, the writing in which took his fancy, and he soon left the copy lines to imitate the style of the letter.At the age of eighteen he again became a farm esrvant.It was part of his duty to take milk to Glsagow every morning, and to enable him to keep an intelligent check upon his master\u2019s business he taught himeelf a simple system of bookkeeping, which latterly proved \u2018| useful in his employer's intersets.And here comes another anecdote luminous with character.David'e master was à herd, mesn man, eo foolishly close-fiated that he starved his owa horeses.In conseg , the animals soon began to loss flesh, To remedy this sa far as possible, David, who was quick in sympathy with animals in general, and with horses in particular, rose every morning between thres and four o'clock and gave them à feed from the unwinnowed corn from the bern.A sneaking brother servant found what be was doing.and told the laird.What followed, David Robertson thus describes : One morning when I was crossing from the barn to the stable, the laird came out from his hiding-place, caught me by the neck, and sid : \u2018You thief, you are stealing my corn.\u2019 \u2018And giving it to your horses,\u2019 1 said.He replied that 1 bad ne right to do 90, and that it was against hin orders, \u2018hat was true, 1 said, but that I bed done it with the best intentions for his interest ; that it was not, as be seemed so think, any sdvantage to me, but & VT ITNESS.great deu) of unplensant trouble, and that the only scises { had was that I wae do ing good to his horess, and, as | thought, benetiting himself.| sud, too, that for all that [ was giving them, they were will not in the eondition that a farmer's horses should be ; and if they did not get their proper food they could not do their proper work, \u2018Well,\u2019 he said, \u2018if you will promise not to waste, 1 will give you the keys.\u2018 I replied that 1 bad never done anything, to my knowledge, contrary io hie interest since [ had been in his sevice, He answered that he had never had any reason to doubt me, adding : \u2018There are the keys, and use your own discretion.\u2019 At the age of twenty-one young Roh- ertson was deep in the mysteries of arithmetic.After he euppered the horses he used to trudge three miles to Millwel!, where he had \u2018Gray's Arithme- Me\u2019 expounded to him.On the dark winter nights, when the snow was on the ground, he bad to take off his ehoes and stockings to wade a swollen stream that ran across his path.By the time he was fourand-twenty David had made up his mind to go through a college course.With him, to resolve was to accomplish.To Glasgow he did go, and while he taught arithmetic and worked as a dyer for a living, he studied medicine with that eager, un- ewerving devotion that never fais of its end.By the time he wes thirty Robertson was well through his classes.But meantime his ideas on the subject of medical practice had been undergoing a change.He saw little prospect of earning, within a reasonable period, a bare living, much less attaining independence.But far above every other consideration was the fact that young Robertson was in love with his master\u2019s daughter, and was anxious to marry.He promptly made up his mind, and scted with his own swiftness end fortitude.He mar DAVID ROBERTSON At the sge of eighty-nine.ried, and opened a small china and earthenware shop in Jail Bquare, Glasgow.From the first business prospered.It could scarcely be otherwise with one so active, economical, enterprising and intelligent.In 1860, when he was still in the prime of life, he was able to retire from business with a competency sufficient to maintain him in modest comfort for the rest of his days.A SCIENTIST IN EARNEST.For a number of years previous to that date Mr.Robertson had been studying marine zoology snd geology with ever- increasing absorption.When he settled down at Fern Bank, Millport, in the Great Cumbree, in 1800, he began to make these etudies the serious businees of hia life.He was no debbler.His motto in scientific resescch was\u2014\"Take nothing for granted ; examine everything for yourself ;* and in his pursuit be spared neither time, toil, nor money.The Cumbraes and the adjecent channels and shores of the Clyde were his favorite haunt, but be travelled far and wide io his bunts for epecimes.fo genuine was the quality of his work that he in time became an acknowledged authority on his favorite subjects, and was consukt- ed by eminent men of science in this country and sbroad.The Imperial Royal Zoologico-Botanieal Boolety of Vienna elected him an Honorary Fellow; he was made president of the Natural History Society of Gl ; and the year before his death the University of Glasgow conferred the honorary degree of LL.D.upon im.Dr.Robertson was d when in 1885 Millport was selected as & station foc observations in marine natural hie tory.Till the other year this station wa only a somewhat clumey craft, named the Ark, moored inshore among the rocks.Now it is a substantial stone building, to which additions have been, and will be, made to keep pace with its steady prosperity.This station owes its existence to his enthusiastic and patient endeavors to enlist sympathy and support for the scheme which resulted in its erection, and the building contains Dr.Roberteon\u2019s Jarge and valuable colles tion of specimens.Dr.Robertson wes blessed with mar vollows meatal aad bodily vigor to the end of bis very Jong life.He was eighty- six when he was placed on & commities of the British Association for investigating cerisin shell-bearing clay deposits in various parts of Bootland.That wes no mere compliment to the old man, for each year a substantial part of the work was accomplished by him and s consider able part of the report was written by him.He undertook, sys his friend, Mr.Btebbing, the preparation of the samples of clay, and the determination of the various organic remains, many of them extremely minute or fragmentary, which resulted from the eareful washing, steain- ing end separating of the constituent gra vel, sand and mud.The tediousness of the occupation none can know but those who have tried it.When verging on sighty-nine he wu.dertook a geological excursion to Cleon- gart (len, where there was some stiff climbing to be done.He admitted, with his accustomed modesty, that he could not walk quite so fast as his companions.Much to his sorrow, Dr.Robertson was unable to attend the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of Miliport Marine Biological Station in October, 1808.The aged scientist was still full of hope and desire for work, though suffering {rom illness.But the hand of death was upon him.He died in November, 1896, m his ninetieth year.\u2018He was 3 delightful friend.He was à sterling man.He passed through many changes of fortune, and knew how to make himself happy and beloved in ali\u2019 * \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 (For the \u2018Witness.\u2019 WIEN THE BOYS COME HOME AGAIN, \u2018When the ship that brings our soldiers home slips by the hardor ber, And the roar of peaceful cansoa weloomses herces from tbe war, Many & thoussnd joyous voices shall uplift the thrilitug strain, Of a nation\u2019s mighty welcome, when the boys come home again Mothers\u2019 hearts will best with gladness, mothers\u2019 eyes will fill with tears, As they see their ehlldren\u2019s glory ;

The oyes of nearly all Christendom on that great gathering of reapers from the Master's world-wide field st New York, to the \u2018Ecumenical Conference on Foreign Missions.\u2019 \u2018lI am m- premely desirous that this conference should utter no uncertain sound about the necessity of guarding the integrity of the inspired word of God.The written and the living word are so indissolubly bound together that whatever impairs the integrity of the written word impairs the integrity of the living word.(Applause.) The written word is the living word enfolded.The living word is the written word unfolded, and it we exargine the pastorates of ministers of our day under whose ministrations many people had their eyes opened and have been turned from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God and are willing to teetify to that fact, among them can one advocate of the higher criticism be found ?\u201cThe tree is known by his fruit.\u201d (Matt.xii, 33.) Morrison's lectures.I will only call attention to its most marked utterance.The lecture ia upon some phases of Is mel's religious development.: \u2018While this ritualistic movement bed many faults, like ite twin sister, modern revivelism, ewentially a religion of selfishness, teaching that the chief end of man is to sve his soul, and tosking the whole world of the individual revolve around hie ow soul and ite salvation, instead of around God, yes it has done much for the world.\u2019 If that je truth, it esctajaly is teuth out of its connection see stumble bere is fatal.\u2018God reconciling the world unto himeelf, imputing their and bath committed unto ue reconciliation.Now, then, we are baseadors for Christ, as though God \u2018Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit\u2019 (John lustrated by scripture, and upon no other truths have auch determined anmulte been made by the powers of darkness (IL.Cor.iv., 3, 4), and man has stumbled over it, and it is still true.\u201cWe preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block and unto the Greeks foolizh- ness\u2019 (I.Cor.i., 23).The Jews stumbled at it and remained unsaved from sin.Wherefore ! Lecsuse they sought it not by faith, but by the works of the Jaw.Rome by what Prof.Murrieon ern revivalism.The conflict tion of the individual soul to its maker a affected by the views of the higher criti- of the Old Testament, but its effect upon God's ministry of reconciliation (II.Cor, v., 18).In St.Paul's letter to the Coloesian church he says (chap.ii., 8) : \u2018Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.\u201d To spoil anything renders it unfit for ita intended use.8t, Paul brings out the truth in regard to himeelf in I.Cor.ix., 27.He kept hia body under snd brought it into subjection, lest he should be spail- ed as a preacher.Only the danger apprehended was to himaelé through his body, to them through the mind, by what seems to me undistinguisbeble from mmok of the higber criticiem of the presunt day.To epoil the preacher is a calémity to the Chureh beyond expression.Let slew them, think ye that they were sinners above all the men that dwelt in Jerumlem ?CHINESE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA \u2014 THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION.(To the Editor of the \u201cWitness) Sir,\u2014In your issue of Aug.28, \u2018Aunty Mongol\u2019 makes wild statements, sus gesting that he must be himself a fail ure, The times have been good, and labor scarce.In the summer of 1898, bands could not be had for the haying season: in 1800, much of the hay was partially spoiled, through being left in the Gelds too long for want of with wages from a dollar and fifty to two dollars a day and board.This year, with a fishery strike on, there were not white men enough, and Chinese had to be employed to make up the deficiency.At the time of writing, thrashing is in full swing and all employed at a dollar end a half to two dollars per day and board.In the country the Chintes do work thet white men do not care for; digging ditches and draing in winter, planting potatoes, boeing, some baying and har vesting, digging potatoes and cleaning out ditches; but the salmon run, commencing about the time of haying, they all want to go to the canneries.Some of the Chinese rent land sad grow gar den truck (this is where they come in competition and are not liked), but it is the farmer that lets the land.Some clean up patches of bush for the land for a term of years, and some put in potatoes and onions on shares, doing all the hand labor.The best white workmen that purchase land or rent never hesitate in employing Chinese, The canneries have been built on the calculation of bis labor, and if the Chinese were al) sent back to China, the most of tae canneries would have to shut up.Next year « run of fish ta due, and how tbe farmer will got in his crops I do pot know.The WEEKLY WITNESS, æason and baying, commencing shout the same time, the farmer has to double .hia foros.Twenty tons is a small quan- - tity to put up, some putting up from « hundred to four hundred toms.Any ons that can pull a boat, or thigke he can, will want to go fishing, as the Ash: ing is a little like gambling, and they oan make more money at it (except euch à ecason as thin, when they have made little or nothing), and the Chinese all want to go into the canneriss.In the cities the Chinese are wood «ut ters, cooks at hotels, laundrymen usd general servants; in the forest, they cook at logging camps and sawmills and truck away lumber.When they understand their work, they are general ly \u2018on time.\u2019 Their morals will bear comparison with any other race.1f some are opium fiends, they do not show it to the public, as the whiskey fiends do.They are inveterate gamblers, but worse still, although very clean themselves, thay bave no idea of wnitation.In the winter, when they come in to \\he lodging houess they will atow away almost like rardines in à box.Any one having his movels mined by contact with the Chinese goes purposely to Lave them ruinel, as the difficulty of jan- guage renders contact very limited.No white man in British Colmubis ever learns Chinese and only a few of the Chinese merchants learn English.1t is the workmen that come here, snd & few merchants to supply them with Chinese goods, and many of them return in « few years carrying their earnings home, generally between two hun dred and three hundred dollars, and in silver, which ought to please the mil- verites if only they took easugh to raise it to sixteen to one.As for overruoning the country, those that own land or become citizens might be counted on the fingers; they come here to sell their labor and come according to the demand.To sum up, in the present condition of this country, away from the track of European emigration, the Chinese are indispensable and employed by almost every'one.Our M.P.'s and M.P.P.'s employ them directly or indirestiy, but they have (the city members especially) to give a whack at them every now and again to keep in with the voters.The wages of the Chinese are one dollar per day end one dollar and twenty-five cents in haying and harvest time; not such a starvation wage, when Uritish agricultural labor is only peid sixty cents per day.Now, \u2018Aunty,\u2019 why did yon not come out flat-footed and charge your Crestor with making a botch of it when he cre ated « yellow race?Again, \u2018Aunty,\u2019 don\u2019t impute à bed motive to a good action; the world could not be run on such principles.Finally, \u2018Acuty,\u2019 when you write again don\u2019t exaggerate so much that what you my oannot be distinguished

in the said wall not being properly bonded.\u201d .= ®* e Crown attorney is much dissatisfied with the verdict.\u2019 (To the Editor of the Witness.\u2019) 8ir,\u2014Upon reading this verdict I con.fem I wus dismtisfied.Further consideration, in the light of the evidence sad the coroner's charge, has not removed At the time, it appeared to me, and still appears, that the inquest was fu- tile\u2014that if the jury did not ignore, they overlooked the most important part of their duty\u2014'Did the deceased die from culpable or negligent conduct on the part of others ?If so, on the part of whom ?They found the cause, but failed to fix the responsibility, the very purpose for which they were empanelled.It appeared to me further that \u2018inferior material,\u2019 \u2018faulty construction.\u2019 were mild terms in the light of evidence, which described the stone used in the building of this wall part rotten, if not all, at least much of it, poor, un suitable, unfit.Under this finding, however, what the public were interested in knowing, and had a right to know from this jury, wae whether any one was to blame for this inferior material.Who ?The building committee, who, under the terms of their contract supplied this inferior material, or, the contractor who used it.Faulty construction: Was it not the duty of the jury to find who was to blame for mortar, poor, badly mixed; arches, $mproperly built; wall, not bonded; the contractor who performed this work or the committee who assumed to themselves the superintendence of the contractor's work ?Was there negligence on the part of either or both ?If there were not, to say eo.If there were, to fix it.I felt that the finding wes unfair to the contractor, unfair to the building committee, unsatisfactory to the congregation and to the public, who had not an opportunity of hearing or perusing the evidence.There may not have been negligence; but the inference\u2014an infer ence from which there is wo escape\u2014 \u2018from the finding is that there was negli grnoe, perhaps culpsble negligence on the part of someone.However, this investigation may oat, perhaps, be wholly [ruitless.In thw day of

Editor of the \u2018Witnem.\") Sir, \u2014Ia last \u2018a issue of the \u2018Witness\u2019 Mr.Fenwick is once more to the fore with a letter aveking enkigbten- ment.This time he has questionings relative to the inner :menning or raligious purpose, etc, of aetained glass windows in churches, and aaks for a reply \u2018which shall jet out the darknes at present is his mind\u2019 A few years back he was œimileriy affected on the subject of \u2018music and ite effect upon religion,\u2019 and although many able letters were written in the \u2018Witmess\u2019 by organists and others which should have proved his salvation, it would seem that very little was accomplished, the present subject being analogous, but in a different dress, Mr.Fenwick asks, \u2018What is the cæsen- tia] difference of a religious kind between a painted window in a church and à painting on the walls of a church = And also, \u2018How can art as represented by stained glaas windows be a handmaid of religion ?Ie aleo gives instances of various so-called inconsistencies displayed in some modern church windows in the habiliments and accoutrements of the apouties and the equipage of the lame and their astronomical aspect.The firey Question does not present any difficulty, there being no essential difference from a religious standpoint between a pic ture and a stained glass window, but for the structural beautifying of a church edifice the window fulfils that mission far better than o picture, and ast the ame time conveys and teaches deep religious truthe, even with such symbolica] and conventional forme and colore as our friend complains of.is nothing obviously inconsistent in the representation of the lame man in the temple having short crutches for support, and yet having been carried there.Mr.G.F.Watts, RA., the great English painter, considers Raphael's \u2018Sistine Madonna\u2019 the finest picture in the world; that besides ils artistic qualities \u2018it most wiccessfully embodies the best and noblest ideas which oan be associated with the personality of the madonne.\u201d Would Mr, Fenwick apply his strictures on this sublime masterpiece, and call it \u2018nonsen- sicsl' she soft-eyed Italian face not be ing in strict consonance with the oriental parentage of the virgin ?Mr.Fenwick'a second question in re gard to the efficacy of etained glass art as à handmaid of religion, may be answered in effect by one of his bard-head- od countrymen, the late Prof.Blackie, who mid, \u2018Never is piety more unwise than when she casts beauty out of the church, and by this excommunication forces her fairest sister to become profane.It is the duty of religion not to eject, but to cherish and keep fellowship with every beautiful exhibition which delights and ev.delicste ert which embellishes human life.The highest art is alwayy the most religions, and the gremtost artist is always a devout men.A wscoffing Raphael or Michel Angelo is inconceivable.\u2019 In your able editorisl on the subject you state, refering to the colors of church windows, \u201cThey are used to give glory to the light as it passes into the building\u201d Mr.Fenwick may not see thie applicability, and will almost cer tainly prefer the light pare from ite Creator, unadorned by art, for surely he does not believe in @ \u2018dim religious light\u2019 as an aid to devotion.After all, it is a matter of temperaments, which are affected differently hy environment\u2014 soine persons are moved to à devout frame of mind more or Jess by beautiful scenery, others are moved by concourse of sweet sounde and the besutiful architecture of abbeys and cathedrals, while others, and probably Mr.Fenwick, pre fer the plain, unadorned kirk or meeting: 3 ARTHUR

unremitting official toil in that by remaining on he had the privilege and bonor of being present and in command of the force on April 4 last, when Her Majesty the Queen made her public entry into

mea (whom I have consulted), are «ll agreed in objecting to the building of a Catholic church at this end of the reserve amongst the Protestants.This winter the priests Med at my house and atked me for permission to erect a church here, 1 them I would not consent to it.now, herein, I give reasons why continue to object, and I appeal to to aid in this stand that 1 am me 1.Years ago the Protestants and the Catholios were at Lac La Biche, forty miles north of this.In order to bave peace, we who were Protestants decided to leave there and settle at White Fish Lake, where we have lived since in peace as a Protestant band with our ministers and teachers, 2.About eight years ago, at the Baddie Lake end of the reserves (thirty- five miles south), there was an agree ment made by which the Catholic and ts separated into two eettle- ments, the Protestants locating near the lake and the Catholics near the river (Saskatohewan), about six miles west.There each denomination has its own church and school.& About two years ago I was asked to let the Oatiiolies build a bosrding- school on Saddle Lake, where the Protestants are.I refused to have the ar rangement broken into; and the board.ing-school was then built at the Catholic side of the reserve.4 Again 1 am asked to allow a Ca.tholioc Church to be placed fu a Protes tint settlement.I will never consent to this, because (a) the priests are always ing Protestants; they try to buy them over to their side with gifts, working through the needs of the people :n- stead of through their minds.The priests give bail to Protestants, trying ln every way tc make them change their religion.I want my people to use their minds and to choose to be religious, not for flour, or meat, or tobacco, but with a free mind and from the heart.(b) Last yoar I told one of these pricste that I did not wish freighters and trav- ollers to pess through the reserve on Funday.The priests go through on Bun.day, and their tesms freight on the Lords Dey.That priest replied that I sould not prevent him from doing it.(c) I ave that the Catholic Chareh is .ot a help to us Protestants, but a bindrance to us when we +27 to keep the tem oom 4 mandments.(à) I do not wish to bin der any Catholics here from going to their chursh and I give tbem permission to go to that end of the reserve where their church is and live amonget the Catholic members of the band.I now write you what my councillors have to sey: 1.T cannot say more than I have already told you about this.Take cour age, do what is right.I hope you will sucosed.Twios I beard you say you wished to stop Sunday travelling throrgh the reserve.I, too, will be glad if various practices that go on in the reserve, stop.You have control of these doings.Why ahould you fear ?Fear uot, because you will be asisted if you do right.God will belp yon\u201d 2.\u2018On the 25th February the priest came to see me in my house, wishing to build at White Fish Lake.I said to bim, \u201cI will not depart from the word of Chief Takan, for this is his reserve, and I believe if Takan is strong, what he says will be.1 support him.\u201d \u2019 \u2018Two of my chief men have written me as follows.Nathaniel Leg, an old and honorable man, says: \u2018I write because I, too, do not want the priests to build here; for they will still further bother the people.I know what they are liks.Once a priest tried me, that in the reason I know.It was the Protestant minister who first sattled at Lau La Biche, next the Catholic minister.Twice he abused the Protestant minister about religion.I strongly oppose their building here.\u2019 Peter Apow, a wise man, and of long experience says: \u2018I wish to may that when I first heard the priests wished to build here, I said \u201cNo, would that the Catholics went to tieir own church.\u201d I am with you in going aguinet their building a Catholic Church here.\u2019 1, James Seenum, continue to main tain that the only way to get along

despatches, which were some days in advance of Lord Roberts's o%h- enl despatches.The affair i+ there mentioned ag Laving been enacted at Hart River, which fact, unless remembered, is likely to confuse, sn there have since besa severu despatches about it, each giving a different nane to the place where the great success was achieved by Lord Methuen\u2019s troops over the Boers, asd thus confusing the reader.In like manner the story as to the capture made by Colonel Plumer from General Fraemus confuses, as Colonel Plumer has been operating on the Pietersburg railway, along with General Paget, and made his captures there.There must be another General Erasmus, because a Pretoria despatch mentions that be de- soended from Bothasburg upon the ne vison at Elands River station on the railway to Komati Poort, and driven off by rite fire he managed to interrupt traffic for two hours and had eleven casvaities.This station is nearly two hundred miles from where Colonel Plumer bad been operating against the other Erasmus so successfully.Lord Roberts reported that General Ian Hamilton bad discovered thirteen guns, most of them damaged or destroyed, at Hee tarspruit.Among them were several that had been captured from the Beit.eh.It was ennounced from Lorenzo Marquez that the German steamer \u201cHer og\u2019 bad smiled on Sept.26, with Mr.Van Alphen, assistant secretary of the defunct Trensvaal State; M.Grobelaar, state treasurer; M.Malberbe, snd à large quantity of bar gold.The railway was expected to be open from Low 9080 Marquez to Pretoris on Sept.The announcement that the Royal dian Regiment had started for A =.inspection by General Lord Rob- was welcomed, especially friends and relatives of the ror regiment.Lord Roberts could not let them go without some

special cor respondent of the \u2018Daily Telegraph\u2019 on Sept.28.CLOSING SCENES.Wanton Destruction by Boers Described by Mr.Burleigh.Lotenzo Marquez, Tuesday \u2014The Boer debacle is complete.By dint of hard riding from Barberton ! managed to overtake, firet, General Jan Hamilton's division, then that of General Pole Carew.I finally entered Komati Poort with our scouts.Not a shot was fired, nor was a Boer seen during the march.BOER DESTRUCTIVENESS.Evidence of the enemys monkeyish destructiveness was everywhere to be seen, however.The bridges had been dynamited, the stores, buildings an homesteads looted and burned, as had been also the railway property, all the chief stations being mere masses of mmok- ing ruins, among them Kaap Muiden, Heetor Spruit and Komati Poort.At the last place there is an enormous ares over which the Boers have wrought des traction.The devastation includes hundreds of waggons, trucks, and carriages, which have been burned, together with all kinda stores of clothing, smmuaitio, forage provisions, as sugar, cof fee, rice, flour, and stationery.Thousands of tons, indeed, are still burning.General Pole-Carew has secured hundreds of locomotives.The whole of the Selati railway line is simply blocked with rolling stock.On my way from Barberton I saw at Hector Spruit the burst Boer guns and the destroyed stores.ACRES OF WAR DEBRIS.In the Crocodile river there were vis ible literally acres of damaged gun ammunition, waggons, lmbere, dypamite detonators and war stores of every sort and description.When I pamed through Komati Poort I saw, besides the burning stores, bun- dreds of tons of ammunition\u2014all kinds of caps, gunpowder and other explosives, and ready fused shells for guns, from the pompom to the six-inch, broken rifles, and cannon.The enemy bed left atand- ing many tents.The great waste in the effects of the Boers was evident.Trunks, furniture, provisions, clothing and other articles were lying about in every direction.In the rocky bed of the tumbling, foaming river were yet more enormous quantities of stores, ammunition, miles, cannon and foodstuffs.Any good police force\u2014æy ome of twenty thoussad men\u2014can do the rest of the work of pacification with security, .If General Buller and the others move on to seise the passes neither Bea Vil joen, the new commandant-general, with Steyn and

been dumped down oun the island of Sheffesn, off Lorenzo Marques.The Irish-American mercenaries are clamoring for pay, and threatening the Boer officials.THE FINAL COLLAPSE.The final collapse of the Boer army may be summarised as follows :\u2014 When the Boers, numbering two thousand, evacuated Komati Poort they took up positions between the Lobombo range the river.They had good positions, and could have made a capital stand, but owing to the disorganization and lack of die- cipline that were prevalent, they were only half-hearted.Wishing to avoid a conflict and unnecessary bloodshed, the British Oounsul- General consulted the Portuguese Gover- nor-General, Senhor Machado, as to the best course to be pursued to attain this end.He asked that emismries should be sent up with an address to the Boers pointing out the uselemness of continuing their resistance, and the sbeo- lute needlemness of going on further.Besides, if they continued to fight there was a fear of the natives rising.Owing to the fact that the Portu- Guere had been most kind to the Boers, and as they bad guarenteed their maintenance and repatristion and promised to send them back to their country free of charge, the echeme succeeded beyond the wildest hopes of its originator.Instead of dosens coming down to Lorenzo Marques, twenty-five hundred arrived in this wise.Diplomacy, therefore, tri.umpbed by bringing the war to a speedy and bloodless oloee.The rest of Thursday's despatches were concerned with the arrival of re fugee Boers at Lorenzo Marquez, where they surrendered to the Portuguese authorities.Mrs.Kruger is reported to be too feeble to travel to Lorenso Mar ques and thus will have to stay in Pretoria, Commandsnt Erasmus, whom General Paget has been opposing on the raflway towards Pietersburg, has been grented an armistice of five days in or der to allow his representative to go to Komati Poort aud convince him that the Boer army has collapsed and is des troyed.He will surrender after the return of his envoy, who went on the journey in charge of a British intelli gence officer.With the line clear from Pretoria to Delagoa Bay, and free from interruptions, there should be a quick resumption of normal conditions in that part of the Hransvaal.Surrenders, vol untary or by compulsion will soon after follow.The news of the death ot D.M.Spence, brother of Ald.Spence, a ronto, the well-known tempersnce leader, brig sorrow to many who met the young man, While in Montreal the young soldier visited the \u2018Witness\u2019 office and went away with every

General Paget's position at Pinaar's River that ing, which Paget\u2019s men had besten off after three hours of fight ing.OUR OWN CANADIANS.A RECORD MARCH.CANADIANS DISPLAY REMARKABLE

on Aug.13.On Aug.14 and 15 the march vas comtinued, but the pursuit ended on Aug.16 on learning that De Wett had escoped through Olifant\u2019s Nek, which was supposed to have been held by the British.Two gune and seventy waggons had, however, been captured.Om Aug.16 orders were received to join Lord Kitchenee at Elands River, and return to Pretoria.The march began at ome a.mon Aug.17, expecting a halt for breakfast, but no stop was made till 20 miles were covered, at 10.30 a.m.SPIRIT AND PLUCK OF THE MEN, The battalion was rearguard on this occasion and the report says: \u2018I cannot speak too highly of the spirit and pluck of all ranks.Turing this most trying time of their endurance, none fell out.\u2019 At 1.0 p.m.the march was resumed but after a mile march orders were given to return for the night to Tootefon- tein.The marching of the week cover ed 112 miles or an average of 16 « day, under trying circum: a goareity of water and barren burnt veldt making the loss in animals very great.Thirty mules alone dropped out on Aug.17, though none were of the Canadisn trans ports wWbich was in charge of Léeut.Lat- erty.Col.Otter states thet he had called the attention of tLe Imperial authorities to the near expiry of the Canadians\u2019 terms of service, and adds, \u2018Though loth to give any ides that might be construed as a desire to evale further service, I cannot in justice 0 the officers and men of the battalion ignore the very strong desire of the majority to return to their aeveral vocations with the least possible delay, now that the campaign is practically over.On leaving Springs the strength of the regiment had been about six hundred bt was reduced to four hundred by those left on the armored train, those wich the stores and a number with

any members of the family who professed to be Christians.He is frum Watsu, where .I spent the summer three years ago, and where Mrs.Wang and so many of our people live.Every Christian has been cleared out of all those villages.A few escaped and were in hiding for a time, but the Boxers hunted through the fields and it may be some time before we csu really know how many have escaped.1 am in the

prevent fires from spresding and in forming lines for pess- ing water budkets, Thos of us on hospital duty went about among the wounded and dying, the air thick with eshes and smoke, and shells bureting all about.The explosive bulleta and rifie- firing filled up the pauses between the big guns, so that we had to shont in each other'a cars when we had to speak.Thess were the times of bed
