despatch from Natal, dated Thursday, Nov.9, evening, siays:\u2014 \u201cNative runners who have just arrived here report that the Boers suffered a severe defeat at Ladysmith this morning.The Boer guns were silenced after hours\u2019 fight- Durban, ing, during which the Boer losses were heavy.No details have yet been received.\u201d London, Nov.13.\u2014~The simultaneous attacks on Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimber ley, which were opened Thursday, manifest recognition by the Boers of the fact that every day lessens thelr chances of a successful onslaught on any of the three British strongholds.Gen.Joubert's chances of reaching Pietermaritzburg can be said to have vanished.This is already reported to be admitted by Col.Schiel, the German officer commanding the Boer artfi- lery, who is supposed to hate been largely the author of the Boer plan of campaign, and who, in an interview, is alleged to have said : \u2018The Boer intention was to have capiured Pietermaritzburg and then to dictate terms, but all hope of accomplishing this must now.be abandoned.\u201d There is no doubt that, from the British point of view, the general situation in Natal is rapidly improving.Nearly eignt thousand troops reached South Africa during the last forty-eight hours, and by the end of the week from six to seven thousand more will be added to the British strength in Natal.These will probably be pushed forward to Estcourt, bringing the British force there up to 10,000 men and making a general aftack on Ladysmith by General Joubert very hazardous.As the cavalry and artillery belonging to General Methuen\u2019s division will not have arrived by then, the advance from Est- court may be delayed.But if it is deemed essential to open communication with the beleagured town at the earliest possible moment, Gen.Methuen, it is believed, may dedide to replace the regular cavalry and artillery by the Natal and Outlander mounted forces and the naval guns, in which case, it is claimed, it ought to be possible to re-occupy Colenso and stretch out a hand to General White by Monday, though, it is added, the course to be followed by General Methuen must necessarily bed ictated entirely by official knowledge of General White's position and resources, and the experts hope General Methuen will be able to await the concen- \u2018tration of the whole division before advancing, and thus have a better chance of dealing a telling blow at Gen.Joubert\u2019s main army, which, it is asserted, will be caught between two British forces and compelled either to fight a general action or retire, ; 4 Sw eit as RECRUITING IN PRETORIA.Pretoria, Monday, November 6, \u2014 The Standard and Digger's News said it is expected that another commando will leave for the front to-day.A large number of burghers have been commandered and some under a brother of General Jan.M.Kock, under a brother of Generol Jan.M.Kock, who was wounded and taken prisoner by the British and afterwards died in the hospital at Ladysmith, The house to house visitation in the central district continues.Al neutrals, who have not volunteered, will be commandered for police service.Those who are eligible are expected to report for duty.The penalties imposed for failure to comply with the order to report are heavy fines, and for persistent disregard of the order, offenders will be expelled from the State.Father Matthews, chaplain of the Irish Fusiliers, who was captured at the battle of Nicholson's Nek, has arrived here.He complains that though Gen.Joubert promised he would be permitted to return to the British camp, he was taken to Pretoria.The Secretary of War released him two days after his arrival and he has been permitted to leave.He reports that the pri- sonerg are well cared for.TIDINGS OF TRANSPORTS.London, November 13.\u2014An unofficial statement Is published that the Cascon, soon after her arrival at Cape Town, left for Durban and Delagoa Bay.The British transport Hawarden Castle, bas sailed from Cape Town, bound to Durban, \u2018ORDERED TO STOP.\u2018Lorenzo, Marquez, Delagoa Bay, November 9.\u2014The French steamer Cordoba has arrived here.When several miles out she was signalled by the Britsh third class cruiser Magiclenae, and as the Cordoba did not obey a blank shot was fired across her bows.After her manifest had been examined she was allowed to proceed.BETTER THAN IRONCLADS.London, Nov.13.\u2014The Times, referring editorially this morning to the speech of United States Ambassador Choate at the annual banquet of the Walter Scott Club in Edinburgh, Friday evening, said :\u2014\u201cThe American people are generous enough to lke us better for being proud and glad of their sympathy than for having given them our own.So now the English people, amid the chorus of deprecation and abuse from the continental press, find in the hearty approbation of a great, free vation, encouragement and strength of a kind which even ironclads cannot supnly.\u201d Proceeding to discuss the bearings of the Samoan agreement, the Times remarks :\u2014 \u201cBoth the English and American people will rememoer that in the very nature of things Germany can never be the friend of either in quite the same sense as they are, and ought increasingly to become friends of one another.\u201d REFORMERS FROM JOHANNESBURG.London, Nov.13.\u2014The White Star line steamer Teutonic, which sallz from Liverpool November 15th, via Queenstown, November 16th, for New York, will have among her passengers Messrs.J.Coleman Drayton and John Hays Hammond, the American engineer, who belonged to the Johannesburg Reform Committee, SEES HAND OF GOD.Buffalo, N.Y., Nov.13.\u2014At the Pilgrim Baptist Church last evening Rev.James Bea preached an interesting and eloquent sermon from the topic, \u201cLivingstones\u2019 Life and the Boers\u2019 Brurality.\u201d In the present war between the Boers and Britons, Tu, Bea sees the hand of God reaching out in chastisement to the Boers for their atrocious crimes of the past.\u2018These Boers,\u201d said the minister, \u201cwould murder the parents, make slaves of the children, and then in their homes would have family prayers, after which they would gloat over thelr devilish deeds.\u201d He believes that God is now preparing to punish them for these crimes.ANOTHER TROOPSHIP.London, Nov.12.\u2014Advices received here to-day announce that the British troopship Oriental, with 75 officers and 1,218 men on board, has arrived at Cape Town.The Colonial Office to-day gave out the following extract of the telegram received from the Governor of Natal :-\u2018Lieut.Lethbridge, of the Rifle Brigade, who was dangerously wounded November 7th at Ladysmith; Lieut, Nisbet, of the Gloucester Regiment, and the wounded prisoners at Pretoria, are reported by a refugee to be doing well.\u201d \u2014\u2014\u2014ar\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 \u201cSQUEAK OF TREASON.\u201d London, Nov.12.\u2014Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State for India, in a speech at Acton to-night, said that although that so far the bulk of partisans was concerned the voice of factions had been hushed, yet the squeak of treason had been heard in the House of Commons.He was glad to have heard it, because it brough home to all reasonable Radicals what was the true meaning of home rule with an irreconcilable rebel like Michael Davitt.Home rule, he said, had disappeared from the program of any reasonable, practical political party.Referring to the war, Lord Hamilton said he could surely predict that when it was over the English Government would see to it that there was no possibility of a repetition of the present condition of things, pre ASKS LEYDS TO REMEMBER, Brussels, Nov.12.\u2014The Foreign Office has Intimated to Dr.Leyds, European agent of the Transvaal Government that it is desirable to remember that Belgium is a neutral country on terms of amity with Great Britain, which is one of the guarantors of its independence.i HOLD WEEKLY MEETINGS.Cape Town, Nov.11.\u2014A despatch from Pretoria says that the foreign consuls hold weekly meetings at the residence of the Italian diplomatie agent, to discuss matters of international interest.According to the same correspondent, the Rose Deep and Fereira Deep, with ten other mines, are working, White and black labor is plentiful and the mint is busy coining gold.* WORD FROM BULLBR.London, Sept.12.\u2014The War Office rece'v- ed this despatch from General Buller, under date of Cape Town, November 11, afternoon :\u2014 \u201cWith reference to my telegram of the 10th, Colonel Gough, with two squadrons ! of the Tenth Hussars.a battery of field artillery.and one and one-half companles of mounted infantry, found about 700 of the enemy with one gun În position about nine \u2014 miles west of Belmont.He engaged the enemy\u2019s left flank to discover their lauger.The losses reported yesterday occurred during this operation.Colonel Gough engag- ¢d the enemy for about three hours and then returned to camp, It Is not known whether Col.Falconer was preparing for a British advance or was merely endeavoring to ascertain the nu- ber of Boers.It is considered somewhat remarkable that four oul of the six casual- tles should have happened to officers, Col.Falconer was a cousin of the Farl of Kin- tore.He did good service in the Soudan under General Kitchener, from the Don- gola expedition to the capture of Berber.NAO SOOO © © VIS SOME FACTS ABOUT LYDDITE SHELLS The statement that General Jou-

woman who has not a good many irons on the fire in the shape of charitable, church and social duties.The surprising amount of work accomplished by many Montreal women makes one think another name than \u2018leisure class\u2019 should Le given to those who are rich in the world's goods.The amount of lcisure they possess is extremely small.Between their pet charities and plans for improving the condition of the poor during the cold weather, and myriad social engagements the time is filled up.Nearly every one has a pet charity, and beside church work there are cluus, literary, artistic and musical meetings at various times which must be attended, houses and servants to be well and systematically managed, notes to be answered, and what eats up a tremendous amount of time\u2014visits to be paid.One woman was heard saying that she had elght hundred names on her visiting list.Another, the wife of a millionaire here, is reported to have sald that she simply muss drop fron her list all who did not entertain.What a travesty on friendliness and hospitality.Only those who can give you a dinner or a dance are worth bothering with.If there is nothing to be got in the way of entertaln- ment they must be let severely alone.People have no time to waste with those who can do nothing for them.The spirit of hospitality is lost when one says, \u201cOh, I suppose we have to ask them, we owe them a dinner,\u201d and when the entertained comment afterwards upon the probable price of everything, and the cheapness 2: the food set before them.\u201cWas it nice?Oh, one of so-and-so\u2019s dinners.You can ar ways tell them at once.\u201d A very nice girl said to me lately, \u201cYou don\u2019t like to ask people to come to anything, for they just make nasty remarks afterwards, and criticize what you have because it's not as good as what some one else had.They don\u2019t for the most part feel that the kindly spirit and friendliness count at all.It\u2019s just the price,\u2019 and then she added naively, \u201cBut I suppose people like you better if you amuse them by saying spiteful smart things.\u2019 Last winter some of the girls in their first and second seasons were most critical about the champagne at one of the private dances.Instead of danec- Ing merrily and enjoying the supper afterwards with a healthy appetite, they were as severe as an old club man about the wine.\u2018Now the so-and-so's was * worth drinking, not horrid stuff like this.\u201d Why doesn't some one make simplicity tue fashion, and then kindly people, not mi!- lionaires, could give their little parties, and every one wou!d enjoy them wiinout turn- fag up their noses at the decorations and Supper.I sat near a fashionable girl and man the other day, and the number of nasty little sneering things they said about peuple, and tbe places where they had been entertaincd, made me want to shake them.I happened to know one hostess mentioned, and felt sure that without any pretensious- ness she had done her best tor tnese young people to have a good time.There are lots of really well-bred people who, of course, arc not like that, but it seems to be the customary thing with a large number.A.the teas people say to each other \u201cNothing new my dear, same old arrangement of flower and drapes,\u201d which contains a hint for hostesses to give teas early in the season when these comparisons which are \u201codious\u201d cannot be instituted.There surely was never a time\u2014or so we think each year\u2014when so many plans were afoot for doing good.The charity organization scheme Is exciting interest far ana wide, and if well supported, will probably be of incalculable benefit.The Lacol Council are enlarging their tieid and now, as I mentioned the other day, the ladles of the Working Girls\u2019 Home will hold a meeting on Friday to consider opening a training school for domestic servants, which would Mean a great improvement upon the existing state of affairs.All the churches are getting their visiting and other helpful work in good order, ana are hard at work.Bazaars are all the rage just now, for besides the FFoundling and Baby Hospital sale field lately there will be the big Industrial Rooms Bazaar the first week in December, the Jewish Ladies\u2019 Benevolent Bazaar, tlie second week in December, the Knox Church sale next week, and a great many other church sales for the benefit of great and small enterprises.When in addition to ali the work of this nature is added the choosing, buying and making of Christmas presents.one wonders how it will add be accomplished.On dit that Desides St.An drew\u2019s ball, when the pretty debutantes blossom out, the Maternity Hospital ball will be given before Xmas, and several big \u201c private dances.ACKNOWLEDGMENTS FROM VICTORIAN ORDER.LL \u2014 Contributions Received by the Victor- lan Order of Nurses Since July.The Montreal Branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses acknowledges with thanks

Ballad Concerts on Saturday was Very Successtul On Saturday afternoon, although the wen- ther was not of the most pleasant description, a number of persons went to Karn Hall for the first of Miss Marie Hollins- head\u2019s popular ballad concerts.If the first is a fair sample, the concerts will certaialy be most successful, for the selections are good and judiciously varied, and the performers well known.The concert opened with the brilllant rendering by Mrs.Ives of an \u2018\u2018Air de Ballet\u201d played for the first time in Montreal.This was followed by \u201cI Love and the World is Mine,\u201d by Miss Hollinshead, and an overture, \u201cStradella.\u201d on the organ, given in Mr.Horace Reyner's impressive manner, Miss Hollinshead's next \u201cWhen Knighthood Was in Flower.\u201d Or the Love Stcry of CHARLES BRANDON and MARY TUDOR, the King\u2019s sister, and happening in the reign of his august majesty King Henry By EDWIN CASKCDEN (Charles Major).Copyrighted by the Bowen-Merrill Com- bany in 1899, and published for the frst time in serial form by The Montreal Herald by special arrangement.CHAPTER XVI1I.\u2014Continued.\u201cOh, no! nothing of that sort.I never ate or drank anything which he could possibly have touched.And as to signs and passes, I know he never made any.Sir Edwin, you were always present when [ was with him until afier we left for Bristol; did you ever see anything of the sort?\u201d I answered \u201cNo,\u201d and she went on.\u201cBesides, I do not believe much in signs and passes.No one can affect others unless he can induce them to eat or drink something in which he has placed a love powder or potion.Then again, Master Brandon did not want me to love him, and surely wculd not have used such a method to gain what he could have had freely without it.\u201d I noticed that Henry's mind had wandered from what Mary was saying, and that his eyes were fixed upon me with a thoughtful, half vicious, enquiring stare that 1 did not like.1 wondered what was coming next, but my curiosity was more than satisfied when the king asked: \u201cSo Caskoden was present at all your in- terviewst\u201d Ah! Holy Mother! I knew what was coming now, and actually began to shrivel with fright.The king continued: \u201cI suppose he helped you to escape?\u2019 I thought my day had come, but Mary's wit was equal to the occasion.With an expression on her face of the most dove- ilke innocence, she quickly said: \u201cOh! no! neither he nor Jane knew anything of it.We were afraid they might divulge.\u201d Shade of Sapphira! A lie is a pretty good thing, too, now and then, and the man who says that word of Mary's was not a blessed lie, must fight me with lance, battle-axe, sword and dagger till one or the other of us bites the dust in death, be he great or small.\u201cI am glad to learn that you knew nothing of it,\u201d said Henry, addressing me; and I was glad, tog, for him to learn it, you may be sure.À A.Briggs, at the age of 60 years, 1 month and 8 days.CHESTER\u2014Mary Peacock, wife of the late | W.E.Chester, aged 72.| CLEMENT\u2014At Lachine, Nov.10, Felix Clement, aged 71 years.| LACKEN\u2014At the Royal Victoria Hospital, Nov.10, Minnie Eva Lacken, aged 19 ycars, | Second daughter of the late Hugh Lacken, DEATHS BLSEWHERE CROWTHER\u2014At Hamilton, Nov.9, Irma Fitzgerald, only child of Frederick and Janie E.Crowther, aged 3 months and 11 days.CURRY\u2014At Barnsville, N,B., Nov.7, James Curry, aged 80 years.DRURY\u2014Nov.9.at London, Mattie, daughter of the late Thomas Drury.FULTON\u2014At Toronto, Nov.9, Mary Ann, relict of the late Hugh Fulton, in the 73rd year of her age.\u201cMontreal Mitkmen Combine in praising charlotte gelatine.Then spoke Wolsey: \u201cIf your majesty will permit, I would say that I quite agree with you; there has been witchery Bere\u2014witchery of the most potent Kind: the witchery of lustrous eyes, of fair skin and rosy lips; the witchery of all that is sweet and intoxicating in womanhood, but Master Brandon has been the victim of this potent spell, not the user of it.One look upon your sister standing there, and I know your majesty will agree that Brandon had no chance against her.\u201d \u2018Perhaps you are right,\u201d returned Henry.Then spoke Marx, all unconscious of her girlish egotism: \u201cOf course he had not.Master Brandon could not help it.\u201d Which was true beyond all doubt.Henry laughed at her naivete, and Wolsey's lips wore a smile as he plucked the king by the sleeve and took him over to the window, out of our hearing.Mary began to weep and show signs of increasing agltation.After a short whispered conversation, the king and Wolsey came hack.and the former sald: \u201cSister, 1f [ promise to give Brandon his life, will you consent decently and like a good girl to marry Louis of France?\u201d Mort almost sercamed, \u201cYes, ves; glade eo selections were \u201cAll Things for Thee,\u201d \u201cAll Souls Das\u201d and \u2018Sleep, Little Baby of Mine\u201d; the latter was exquisitely sung, with a soft, soothing accompaniment by Mrs.Ives, and was encored, when Miss Hollins- head gave \u2018The Wind in the Chimney.\u201d Miss Beatrice MacGowan, a promisin Young pupil of Mr.Charbonneau, playe a \u2019cello solo most acceptably.Miss Mac- Gowan has composed several songs, which Miss Hollinshead will sing during the concerts.Mr.Reyner again delighted the audience with the \u2018Shepherd's Dance,\u201d and \u201cMorris Dance,\u201d and the concert closed with \u201cThe Heavenly Dream,\u201d beautifully and clearly sung by Miss Hollinshead for the first time in Montreal, with an organ and piano accompaniment, which was encored.During the concert Miss Hollins- head thanked the audience very prettily for coming out on such a bad day.The concerts are very short, only from half-past three till half-past four, and the hour is pleasantly spent.rm etree TO-MORROW\u2019'S MENU.Men have sight, women insight.\u2014Victcr Hugo.BREAKFAST\u2014Bananas and cream, beefsteak, potato patties, mutlins, coffee.DINNER\u2014Cream vegetable soup, meat pie, boiled sweet potates, hot minced beets, butter sauce, pickled pears, peach preserves, wafers.SUPPER\u2014Scalloped fish, johhny cake, baked apples, cake, tea.CREAM VEGETABLE SoUP.Chop one large onion and stew until tender in two tablespoonfuls of butter.then add one quart of boiling water and half a cupful of sliced carrots and cook balf an Iy; I will do anything you ask,\u201d and fell at his feet hysterically embracing his knees.As the king stooped and tifted her to her feet, he kissed ler, saying: \u2018His life shall be spared, my sweet sister.\u201d After this, Henry felt that he Lad done a wonderfully gracious act, and was the kindest- bearted prince in all Christendom.Poor Mary! Two mighty kings and thelr great ministers of state had at last con- yuered you, but they had to strike you through your love\u2014the vulnerable spot In every woman.Jane and I led Mary away through a side door, and the king called for de Longue- ville to finish the interrupted game of cards.Before the play was resumed Wolsey stepped softly around {o the king and asked: **Shall I affix your majesty\u2019's seal to Brandon's pardon?\u201d \u201cYes, but keep him in the Tower until Mary is off for France.\u201d Wolsey had certainly been a friend to Brandon in time of need, but, as usual, he had value received for his friendliness.He was an ardent advocate of the French marriage, notwithstanding the fact he had told Mary he was not; having no doubt been bribed thereto by the French king.The good bishop had, with the help of de Longueville, secretly, sent Mary's min- lature to the French court in order that it might, as if by accident, fall into the hands of Louis, and that weorthy\u2019s little, old, shriveled heart began to flutter, just as if there could be kindled in it a genuine flame.J Louis had sent to de Longueville, who was then in England, for confirmation of Mary\u2019s beauty, and de Longueville grew 80 eloqient on the theme that his French majesty at once authorized negotiations.As reports came in Louis grew more and more impatient.This did not, however, stand in the way of his driving a hard bargain in the matter of dower, for \u201cThe Father of the People\u201d had the character- Istics of his race.and was intensely practical as well as inflammable.They never lese sight of the dot\u2014but I do not find fault., Louis little knew what thorns this lovely rose had underneath her velvet leaves, and what a veritable tartar she would be, inked to the man she did not love; or he would have given Henry four hundred thousand crowns to keep her at home.To Te Continued.ee KINGSTON NOTES.Kingston, Nov.13.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Lieut.-Col.and

gets out of the Pro- Theat re Francais./LEK MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1899 § BOGUS TENANTS.The resolution to give the franchise in the munic'pal elections to those who have pald their water rate for the first months of the year can be justified upon the ground that many honest workingmen six need time to pay for this necessary of life, and are, bona fide householders.nevertheless, There can be no doubt, unfortunately, that another result will be to make it more easy for the corrupt ring to stuff the lists with bogus tenants.For several years the small wards in the cen- :re of the city have been virtually swamped with voters who were supposed to have a desk in some of ithe office buildings, and wo paid the water rate on the minimum rental, whieh would qualify them to vote.Civie reformers have gone to a great deal of trouble to eradicate this evil, In the revision of the voters\u2019 lists from year to year, but it Is known that many Cases have escaped their scrutiny.The men who did not think it too much to pay the water rate for one Year, simply for the sake of having a vote to sell or to dispose of otherwise, will find the task much easler now that they only need to pay for six months.But this Is not a justification for making it difficult for an honest voter to cast his ballot.If the principle upon which the opposition to the Rainville-Beausoleil proposition Is based be sound, then all the extensions of the franchise, all the reductions of the qualification of voters, are open to condemnation on the ground that they have made! {1 easier to stuff the lists.No one will go so far as that, and yet it is the next logical step.Instead, therefore, we must conclude that the right remedy for list-stuffing is not in the raising of the qualification of voters or in making the right contingent upon \u2018the payment of Do not let us then embark upon a course which has no other meaning or effect.We regret very much that we find ourselves on this question opposed to aldermen whose water rates.course we have heretofore found to commend itself to our judgment and whose present purpose we heartily sympathize with.But we are convinced that civic corruption must be stamped out by other means\u2014and not easier means than the disfranchisement sf large numbers of citizens \u2018for fear their enfranchisement would put upon the lists a: larger number than at present of bogus names.There is no easy and short cut to civie purity, and it only remains for reformers to be more active than ever when the lists are revised in December.A A BOER RETREAT TODAY'S WAR TOPIC.The military situation on the Natal frontier has now become so changed that the tepie of the hour is the probable retreat of the Boers, from the girdie they have formed around Ladysmith, to a position in which they would encounter less difficulty in obtaining supplies than has to be faced with a mountain range between them and their base.The Drakenbergs are favorable to the Boer military tactics in the ordinary course, but they are not favorable to a prolonged siege of a well-defended town where the probability of the enemy's provisions falling into the hands of the attacking force is remote.It Is clear from the tone of to-day\u2019s despatches that the general opinion is that the Boers have scored practically all the advantages that the campaign will yield them.They have accomplished less than might have beer; expected, considering thelr overwhelming superiority in numbers over the British forces at Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley.When the retrcat begins they will have literally nothing to which they can point as the fruits of victory\u2014nothing save the appaling magnitude of the loss on bot® sides.It is a curious fact that the artillery, upon which the Boers placed such implicit reliance, when they began the war \u2018by the Invasion of Natal, has been a source of weakness rather than of strength.Had he not been hampered by the transport of heavy guns and the frequent necessity of rescuing them from tight places, General Joubert, we are told, might have been in We doubt this very much, but It is quite conceivable that when Pietermaritzburg to-day.the hour for retreat arrives the heavy artillery will prove a serious en- cumberance.The guns have proved, after all, of very little service, and they are not likely to be of great utility for purposes of attack now that the British will have at : Ladysmith with General Hildyard's bri- I gade guns of far longer range than any It is in\u2018eresting to note : the Boers possess.that the Mauser rifle, which the Boers carry, is proving no more effectual in the present campaign than it did in the Cuban war.We read : \u2018The Mauser wounds are small and heal quickly, and many of the wound- cd are applying for permission to return to the front.\u201d The rifle was thoroughly test- cd in the recent fighting in Cuba, where it proved a merciful weapon.General Maceo was wounded nineteen times by Mauserg before the fatal shot in Pinar del R.o, and every ragged Cuban private exhibited one or more wounds inflicted by the tiny bullet without serious effect.At regular ranges the nickle projectile makes a clean perforation, passing through bone without splintering, and taking no cloth or foreign substance into the wound.If the nickle coating should be damaged, however, on the velocity be reduced by extreme range or richochet, the wound is more complicated than those inflicted by the dum-dum.It will be remembered that during the Cuban war the correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle was wounded by a Mauser bullet passing through his leg.The same bullet killed his horse.Dressed only wiih cigar ash and wrapped in a shirt cuff, the correspondent\u2019s wound healed in days.a few In other cases the Mauser wounds intention to clear Natal and Kimberler of the enemy before reinforcing the British garrisons at De Free State Junction.wiser course in Aar and Orange This is no doubt the view of the lamentable fallure of the Boers to attack Cape Colony at what was at the commencement of hostilities an extremely vulnerable point.Transports with troops on board may now be expected to arrive daily at clther Cape | Town or Durban.and In either case the | troops will be speedily available for service {on the frontiers.When the actual invasion lot the Free State and the Transvaal by | British troops begins, the forces of the | RepubHe will in the natural order of things ' be quickly withdrawn from the beleagured towns for defensive operations at home.In any case General White, Col.Kekewich and Col.Baden-l\u2019owell are not likely to be very much longer subjected to the rigorous but unscientific operations which have now been in progress for nearly a month at Ladysmith, Kimberley and Mafeking.pt MINISTERS SONS IN THE FIELD.The statement made in The Herald's Ottawa correspondence of Saturday, that four leading l.iberals at Ottawa have sons in the British service in South Africa, 18 of more than passing interest.It ought to be enough to silence those critics of the Goveppment who are trying to convince peo ple that the Canadian contingent was sent In opposition to the real sentiment of the Liberal ministry.Sir Richard Cartwright, Sir Henri Joly, Mr.Dobell and Sir Al phonse Pelletier all have sons in the service, three of them in the Canadian contingent and one in the regular army.It may be doubted whether the personnel of the British Government, which undertook the war, can make as good à show n3 in this respect as the Canadian Government whose policy is demonstrating that Canada is opposed to the dismemberment of the Empire.a EMBARGO REMOVED.The fact that on November 15 Belgium will remove the embargo upon Canadian cattle means much more to Canadian stock raisers than the opening to them of the Belgium market.For years this industry in Canada suffered on the \u2018\u201c\u2018dog with a bad name\u2019 principle.Care on the part of the Canadian stock men and the energetic ef | forts of Hon.\u2018Sydney Fisher and his col \u201cleagues resulted in the removal of the Am: erican embargo, and everyone knows what a boon the change has been to the Cana dian stock raiser.European prejudice has yet to be removed, and the action of the Government of Belgium should be of great assistance in accomplishing this end.Experience has shown that a superior grade of cattle can be profitably raised in Canada, and, with an extended market, the industry should become an increasingly important one in the economy of the Dominion.The growing market for Canadian cattle is but another evidence of the in- creasing appreciation in Europe of the produce of Canada which the present intelligent administration of the Department of Agriculture has brought about.pre NOT A FOLLOWER.A few days ago Sir Charles Tupper paid Mr.a meeting of Conservatives that he would Foster a public compliment by telling not venture an opinion about the prospects of the party in New Brunswick until he : had been informed by Mr.Foster regarding : the facts in the case.But Mr.Foster is | evidently in no mood to repay confidence with confidence, for no sooner has Sir Charles ended his Ontario tour and started for Manitoba and the West than Mr.Foster begins a little Ontario tour on his own hook, What is even more noteworthy is the fact that, if we can judge by the very complete report published in the Star, the name of Sir Charles mentioned in the beginning at St.Catharines.Tupper was not once whole course of the speech, and while cheers were given for the Queen, Mr.Foster and the Conservative candidate, there was never a cheer for the vigorous old leader who is trying to cover the country from one end to the other in the hope of rallying the party organization.There wag, indeed, a veiled illusion to Sir Chatles, made in Mr.Foster's very best style.He warned the young gentleman, who is to be Mr.Gibson's opponent, against the use of the word \u201cfollower.\u201d He would have Mr.Lancaster understand that the Parliamentary representatives of the Conservative party are not They are \u2018\u2018brethren followers of anybody.working on a common should support their nominal leaders \u201cjust platform\u2019; they as far as they carry out the party's will\u201d; the party, he said, welcomed \u2018\u2018keen, independent thought.\u201d And no doubt the unexpressed intention was that the young men \u201cof the party should take pattern by the speaker, who showed his independence of political leadership by careful omission of the leader's name, or of any reference to his particular share in the work of the party organization.There was no mention i of Sir Charles\u2019 insurance scheme or of that French-Canadian disloyalty, much has been made by the Star, the Toronto News and all the smaller papers.Sir of which so Charles might be out of the business and Mr.Foster installed in his place for all the Conservatives of St.Catharines couid learn to the contrary from this extraordinary speech.} It must be conceded that all thls accords very well with the reputation Mr.Foster has made for himself.pendent\u201d while a member of Sir Mackenzie Bowell's Cabinet, that on2 morning Sir Mackenzie awoke to discover that he had been He was so \u201c\u2018inde- l'ving in a nest of traitors.Mr.Costigan warns Sir Charles that the same pro- | \u2018cess Is going om now, and that it will | end in his being hoisted out of the nest.| Everybody remembers how in 1596 Mr.Foster stayed at home while Sir Charles faced the storm of unpopularity alone.And totes vince.Much as the rank and fille may llke the \u201cindependence\u2019 Mr.Foster preaches to them, it will be surprising if there is not widespread murmuring against the evident lack of cohesion amongst the leaders.After all, somebody has to lead, and if there are to bre no followers, what sort of encouragement can be found in the otherwise thankless task?Imagine Mr.Foster talking like that with Sir John Macdonald leader of the party!

Take Action That Will Have Far Reaching Results.The meeting of the Canadian Association of Freight Agents, being held this afternoon in tho Windsor, \u2018s one of the most important that has been held for years.It is under- ! stood that the conclusion reached by the : Freight Agents will be to make a very mark- | yl advance in freight rates throughout the Yominion.This will be an act that will dave far-reaching results, and all shippers tho have heard of the contemplated increase are deeply interested in the question of the probable character of the changes.It is gonerally expected that the increase | will be a horizontal one, affecting all classes of freight, and it is not improbable that the rates may go up ten per cent.The railway rompanies give as a reason for the proposed action that the cost of almost everything that they have to purchase has increased rapidly during the past year, and that they must, therefore, make a corresponding raise in rates.At the same time, tke prosperous condition of business in general no doubt makes the railway managers more confident : Of the ability of the traffic to stand higher rates.\u2014 TROUBLE IN SIH] Conductors and Trainmen Impatient at the Delay in Getting a Definite, ANSWER FROM THE G.T.R.Great Interest at Local Centres in \u2018he Developmentst s ot the Conferences With Mr, McQuigan, There 1s a widely prevailing impression in railway Circles that the Jo-nt Commit- ice, representing the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brothe:nooë of Rallway à rainmen.which has been in session at the Grand Union Motel for the past fort- right, has filed to bring the difficultios with the Grand Tiunk tv a sat'sfact ry se tlement.\u2018The fact has ca sed consid- crable dissatisfaction among the secilons of railway men affecicd.It is prema:ure to make a definite pro- Touncemeut on «he subject us the conferences with the Grand Trunk management have not yet closed.The men have deawn up a -ch due où thir grievances which has bei sulmn't ed to the manage- inent for con iderat\u2018on, und they had an- cther interv'ew w'th Mr.PF.H.MeQuigan, ; the grseral superintendent.this morning.In view of the cb.jous d sinelinit' on of hoth the company and the committee, | which cons\u2018sis of the e™airmen and sec: retaries of each lo al division, ft is no PASY to say exactly wherein the essence and the trouble lirs.But while the members of the committee are re icent so far as the newspapers are concerned, they ave obliged to be communicative tn their or- fanizations, at whose exponsr they are being kep: while thev are here, At soe of the m:etings of the Brotherhood there has been a good deal of plaln tak, As alrcady explained in The Her- aid.the men came here for {he purpose of interviewinz the management regarding the proposal of the company to pay fhe conductors and brakemen by mileage in- atcad of by the time they are out on the toad.The men, i: is «aid.have receivea no satisfactory assurances as to the probable result of their representations.A definite repiy has been posip.ned from day to day.These lengthened visits of the hrotherhoods to Montreal are a syurce of considerable expense.Last summer the 1w0 mouths\u2019 visit of the committees of the Brotherhoods of Engineers\u2019 and Fire- inen cost ihose org'nlrations many hundreds of dJoll-ss, nnd the result obtained was -not regnrded as commensurate with the expenditure of time and money.It ts not at all improbable that should there be much further delay in receiving rome sort of public assurance as to how tue position stands the present commit- tre of the Brotherhoods of (Conductors and \"Trainmen will he called to their homes.It is contended by the trrinmen that the proposed mileage scale will mean a practical reduction of from 10 tg 20 per cent.in their wages.It Is the men who man the freight tralus that will feel this the pas .because the fremment delavs that arise In shunting render It uncertain when the freight train journey will end.Some of the leading members of the or ganizat'on declare that shou'd the manage ment persist with the mileage scale there will be a strike.À gond deal of interest.therefore, is attached to the progress of negotiatiqns during the present week.cr\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 WON'T \u201cBIOGRAPH\u201d IT NOW.The Grand Trunk Had Arranged to Take

arranged to have the bridge crowded with about a thousand people, all sorts of vehicles, including a tally-ho and a corps of oyelists.The camrra, with teie- scopic lens, was to be carried in the cupalo of a eonductor's caboose, which would be pushed by an engine across the bridge at the rate of forty-five miles an hour.The approach was to be made from St.Lam- berts, and the pieture would, therefore, include the magnificent view of the city and mountain that is caught coming across the bridge towards Montreal.All, then, was ready.But something intervened.On Saturday a light mantle of snow was thrown over bridge and ground, and the Grand Trunk management lost | little time In deciding that thiz was not the time to take the picture.They have no ds- - sire to advertise Canada as \u2018\u201c\u2018Our Lady of the Snows,\u201d and therefore the plans for a hbiograph picture have been pigeon-ho'ed until May, when leaves are on the trees, and furs are not on the men and women.GOLD COMMISSIONER DINED.Quebec, Nov.13.\u2014(Special.)\u2014Mr.James Langlois Bell.recently appointed assistant gold commissioner in the Yukon territory, was given a farewell dinner on Saturday

Numerous Gentlemen in the World Who at One Time or Other Believed That Trey Were Born to Tame the British Lion.| > Las se SCORES RECORDER POIRIER THE POLICE On September 18 last, Chief of Police Hughes, on instructions from Recorders Poirier and Weir, issued a public notice concerning the release on bail of prisoners, and directed that before accepting bail, in the case of a person arrested on a warrant, the police officer in charge or the station was to apply directly for authorization to the Magistrate issuing the warrant.Some police officers have acted contrary to these instructions and thereby got themselves into a heap of trouble.They may, in fact, be suspended.For some time complaints have been made to Recorder fairler regarding the presence of an alleged house of ill- fame at 81 St.Urbain Street.The complaints were made principally by the Grey Nuns of the \u201cPatronage d\u2019Youville,\u201d\u2019 corner Laganchetiere and St.Urbain Streets, an institution which does much good among poor girls and servants, and which is considered by them as a refuge in the hour of distress or when out of employment.Twice during tte past five weeks the landlady of the house, Madame Marie Villemaire.was brought before the Recorder and pleaded guilty to a charge of keeping a disorderly house.It Is said a high church dignitary wrote to Recorder Poirier on Saturday last asking him if nothing could ba done to put a stop to what was considered a public scandal.On Saturday morning also two nuns of the Youville patronage visited the Recorder and complained that the neighborhood was scandalized and shocked by existence in their midst of a house of 1ll- fame where imorality was practised almost openly.The good work which was the ob- jeat of the religious order, they suid, was defeated by the presence near them of public scandal.In consequence of these complaints Recorder Poirier had a warrant issued for the arrest of the keeper and the inmates of 81 St.Urbain Street, and In vlew of the fact that so recently as within the past five weeks the same house had twice been raided, the Magistrate judged fit to give particular and verbal instructions regarding the bail.His positive orders were that the people in the house were to be arrested Saturday.during the night.and that they were under no consideration to be admitted to bail.Contrary to the usual practice.the war rants were to he served on Saturday night.The warrants were entrusted to Ba liff Re-'trand, of the Recorder's Court on Saturday morning.In the afternoon this of ficer went to No.5 police station and ins was to make an arvest in the evening ang would bring the prisoners to the station.He told Crptain Loye that, in accordance with the R corder\u2019s wishes, the prisoners were not to be admitted to bail.Captain Charges Bad Faith on Their Part and Announces His Intention of Having the Guilty Officers Punished.formed Captain Love of tre fact that he | à Loye, it appears, replied that if the Recorder telepuoned to Lim to that effect he would.not accept bail.During the afrer- noon about four o clock Recorder Poirier SUNDAY'S BIG BLAL \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 List of the Insurance Companies Which Suffer.THE FIRM WILL REBUILD But May go to Viauville \u2014 Two Hun dred and Fiity People Thrown out of Work.(See also Page 8.) The scene at the Viau & Frere Trotter fire this morning is one of devastation such as Montreal has not known in many years.It is a question if there will be $3,000 worth of salvage out of a property.which must have fooled up a total of $100,000.In the ruins or what was known as the Trotter builuiug, wh.Ch was used as a bonded warehouse, there may be a little, but very liitle, saved.Just how much it Is impossible to say at present, aud as for the Viau manufactory the engine house boiler seems tu be the omy thingthat the fierce fire has not got complete mastery of.Mr, Luguise, the manager of the busi- Bess, was at work early this morning preparing for the carrying on of what 1s one of the best properties in Canada.He has opened an office in a store on Notre Dame Street opposite the old building, and here all matters of business will be attended to.Of course, there is no stock left with which to supply the trade, but this is only a mater of a very short time.The rebuilding will be commenced at an early date, but whether or not the old site will be uscd has not yet been decided.Viau- ville, the town laid out by the founder of the firm, may possibly be chosen.Meanwhile, 250 employes are thrown out of work just as the winter Is commencing.This is one of the most serious results of the fire, as the working people have little or no provision made for such an enforced holiday.No matter how,qulickly the firm may get to work gn the rebuilding, it will be -pr.ng before the peop e can return to work unles: temporary premises can be secured, or they fird o her positions.The fire could not have come at a more inopp«rtune time than at the present.There was an immense stock of Christmas confections on hand, and the work of delivery of it had scarcely commenced.Three weeks would have sufficed to have fairly well tle:red it out, but instead of that nearly $107.00 has gone up in manufae-\\ tured and unmanufactured stock.In addition to this, the machinery was wert $7 .0.0, ard a fiir estimate puts the building loss at $70.000.The estimate of th loss on the contents of the \u2019Krotter building is $125,000, and the building itself will brirg the svrm total up to about $400,- NCO.\u201cThis.\u201d s3ld an insurance man, this morning.\"is an outside estimate, but I do not think it will be much less.\u201d In the warehouse were stored a large quan\u2018i y of goods, inc\u2019uding about 700 crates of valu'bl> crockery and porcelain consigned to the J.IL.Cassidy Co.for thelr Christmas trade.On this there was an insurance of £30,000,

diso:deriy house on plained his reasons and the Chief acquiese- ed.er Poirier intimated to the Chief that the prisoners were uot to be released.Such were the positive instructions of the Magistrate.In the course of the night, or about one o'clock yesterday morning, Ber- tiand, accompanied by policemen from No.5 station, arrived at St.Urbain Street, and having read the wartant to Madume Ville- maire, arrested the inmates and marched them off to the station.There the prisoners gave their names as follows :\u2014Marie Villemuire, 40 years of age; Marie Anne Savard, nmus.ctan, 59 years of age; Rose Laverdure, 23, inmate; Ida Bouchard, £7, irmate; Fred.Thompson, 29, clerk, Mile End; George Leadlow, 41, New York.Madame Villemaire telephoned to Mr.SE Jean, who immediately proceeded to No.5 police station and succeeded in having the prisoners released on bail.Lirvtenant Countols was in charge of the station when the prisoners arrived at two o'clock on Sunday morning.He sa'd tc The Herald this morning that Captain T.oye had told him there would be ne difficulty about the bail, and so he let the prisoners cut, \u201c80 you were not to blame?\u2019 asked, \u201ci just did what I was told.\u201d he replied.When the case was called before Roenrd- er Poirier this morning he expressed.in unmeasured terms his entire disappre-w of the conduct of the.police officers.Tie police, he said from the bench.should not justify the rumors that are being cireu- lated about them that they in more ways than one abet iu the commissinn of crime and the tolerance of prostitution.They should, on the contrary.do everything in their power to put a stop to these rumors, The Judge explained the clicumstances ot the case as given above, and asked sarcas- \u2018tically if ir were the intention of the police officers to exercise the jurisdiction of his Court.© The police had in this case shown vérv had faith, Besides the notice that bdil\u2019 \u2018was not to \u2018be accepted without permission from lim, he had given a positive order that no bail was to be accepted, ana Yet he had no* been abeved.The police offiderys\u2019 had ignored his orders and set the prisoners at liberty.and he would repart to proper arthorities and see that the offi- who was responsible should be sus- he was Béfore the court this morning the prisoners pleaded not guilty and were remanded but

arriving I found it open to al.ow the steamer Ocean to pass.There was aready coliected.waiting to get over, at least fifieen coal carts, all massed together.Two policemen\u2014one ta.l and one short\u2014were present, and indulged in con- versdtion with the carters.As soon as the Ocean began to move the policemen did the same, and by the time the bridge was cpened were perhaps six hundred feet distant.Then begun a scene of confusion, Attended by cursing and shouting.The mass from the city side attempted to cross two deep, but were met by those from the other side, and movement was impossible.In the struggle a horse got one of his feet over the guard, and in plunging to re- morrew morning, as s me of his colleagues | gain a foothold added to the confusion.Jt Was soversl minutes bafore matters right- cd themselves, Why did not the two policemen remain till the hridge was open and traffir resnmet?I told my coachman that I believed something like what did occur wonid take place, and made him keep well outside the mass of collected vehicles.I formed this opinion becanse I have often been detained at this bridge hv its being open, and withour a single exceptinn scenes murh like wbat T met with on Saturday have ocenrred.There was not anvthing calling the policemen In the direction in which they went (at a slow march), and, common sense, of which T believe they must have been deficient, should have told them to remain, and direct the traffic when the hridgs onened.Onr polices force is said to be too small.What necessity was there for there being two trampiug

shooting Grocer Varcoe, were gained by the police to-day.A photograph taken on Saturday was slrown to the Central Prison authorities, and they identified it as that of Joseph W.Curus, a man who was released from the institution on April 26, 18990.He was sent to the Central Prison from Kingston in June, 1897, for tweniy- four months for threatening to shoot.He was employed in the cooking department for a year.Inspector Stark stated this morning that he had not received any word from the police of various cities where Me- Intosh and Williams are believed to have been.but that at the inquest it would be shown that the men were seen together on the streets the evening before the shooting, by a man who knew McIntosh (as Curtis) but did not know his companion.This evidence will be

deposits decreasing $11,- 067.200.Bankers generally regarded the showing as unfavorable, predicting a doubtful money market for the near future.The loss of specie, $3,356,900.and legal tenders, $1,830,50), was accounted for by the volume of currency shipments and sub-treasury payments.The decrease in surplus re- Serves, amounting to 52.450,600, was the feature of to-day's statement most generally commented unon.: The weakest point to which the banks fell in 1893 was on August 12, when the deficit in reserves was $16.545,300.In 1890 the lowest point was reached September 13, when the deficit was $3.306.000.Stor- ling exchange fell to-day from 1-4 to 3-8 cent, which is very unusual for Saturday.New York, Nov.'13.\u2014The possibility of gold imports was generally discussed by sterling bankers.One of the best-known exchange houses said that a stiff 13 per cent.money rate at New York would soon bring gold from abroad.All depended on how many obstacles were put in the way of a movement to this country by foreign money centres.bnt with exchange at ruling rates and money in strong demand in this country, it would he d'fficult ta prevent \u2018mports.Under existing condftione imports might be profitable with exchange at 4.84 1-2 One of the best-known au- tharities holHeved tha! demand bille would sell next week at 4.85 12.The situation might shift within a dar or so, however, upsetting present ealeylations.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 NEWS OF TBE GOLD MINES.Rossland, B.C., Nov.11.\u2014Last week\u2019s shipments of ore from Rossland exceeded 6,000 tons, the greatest output for any one week from the camp.During the week just closed 5,636 tons were sent down, making a daily average of over 790 tons.Nick Tregear, formerly of the Le Roi mine.and now in charge of the Giant property on Red Mountain, stated yesterday that he would have 1,000 tons of ore ready for shipment by the end of the year.A $4,000 gold brick, representing the October cleanup of the Okanogan Free Gold mines, has been un exhibition all day at a local store, creating a good deal of interest.A detailed approximation of the camp\u2019s output for the week ending Oct.11 and year to date is as follows: Le Roi, week, 2,176;

Corundum is a compound of aluminum, and is of the sam: material as the sapphire and ruby, and is, in fact, but a poor member of the same family as these stones, and lacking their brilliant colors It was mined several years back, but at present is only mined in America in one place, in North Carolina, and here the process is carried on only in a very slipshod way, and very little is accomplished.This deposit is found in the Aralchian mountain range, which runs through the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and as .the rock formation is the same in that place as in North Carolina, there is every reason to believe that corundum exists there also.thought it has never vet been discovered The Ontario denosits lie north of Kingston, and cover a large area.The corundum occurs along with mica and nther substances.Tt is tamped up into powder, apd separated from the rest of the rock by washing, its weight being much greater than that of the other constituents of the rock.The deposits have only recently been discovered.and are as yet almost undeveloped.een McIntosh.!

at Newport and Lakeside-\u2014 Prinoipals in Newport Assault.New York, Nov.18.\u2014For the fifteenth National Horse Show of America, which opens this evening, everything is in readiness at the Madison Square Garden.Before noon all the decorations in the black and yellow colors of the association were in place, the last touch of paint had been given to the rails which surround the ring and the tanbark had been laid as level and as tidily as a country lawn.Indications point to this year's show as being among the most successful that have been held.The class of horses entered is higher than in previous years, and the old time exhibitors are likely to find it a difficult task to hold their own against the sixty newcomers, who have been gathering the best stock they could find to compete for blue ribbons.Only in one class is there any falling off in the number of entries.This {8 In the hackney classes.The fight \u2018for favor between the trotting-bred horse and the hackney for light harness work has resulted in the survival of the former, and, while the hackney classes suffer this year, the entries in the trotting departm.nts snow a large increase.The cue which bars previous winners from appearing again In the same class probably affects the jumping competitions more than any other, and some well known horses are absent in consequence.Under the same rule the tandem classes are principally made up of new horses or old horses with fresh mates.There are numerous changes in the judges this year, the list being as follows: KL horoughbreds\u2014Milton Young,

greater mortality from throat and lung diseases at this season of the year as compared with spring.The best protection against colds is not so much in extra clothing as in good digestion.If the digestion and circulation are good, colds will be unknown.Poor digestion causes poor circulation of the blood and when in this condition severe colds are contracted on the slightest provocation.People who make a regular practice of taking Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after meals are free from colds, simply because their digestion is perfect, the heart strong and regular, and the whole system f{ortifie.against disease.It requires little ergument to convince anyone that the best safeguards against colds, pneumonia and changes of temperature is a good stomach.Stuart\u2019s Dyspepsia Tablets taken after meals are dissolved and mingling with the ' rounds to a draw before the Muncie Athietic food cause it to be promptly digested and assimilated; they do this because they contain nothing but harmless digestive elements, which digest meat, eggs and other food even when the stomach itself is weak and flaccid.Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people | well and keep them well, and the best habit you can acquire is to make daily use of them at meals to keep the digestive organs strong and vigorous SP dm ps The officials | 107, Hinkey, 5 to 1, third.ordered refused until December 1 nt

three-year-old trotters of the year was Extasy, 2.1112.In the pedigree of each there is a common ancestor, the thoroughbred Little Miss, by sovereign.She wus the third dam of Ex- tasy and the fourth dam of Imp.A rather good story is told on J.B.Hag- gin, who, owns pre thoroughbreds than any other man in the would.Owning so many horses, it is impossible for him to remember one-quarter of thelr names.When the news was sent away that Fleur de Lis bad won the Burns Handicap at La.tonia last spring, Haggin wired his agent in Cincinnati to buv her if possible.Of course, the agent was highly amused, and he sent word back over the wire that it was impossible to buy Fleur de Lis, as she was already his property.Haggin bred and raised her at Rancho del lxason.The Montreal Hounds held a run

Jeffries learns to use it.If he can learn to use it, with his weight back of it he can accomplish wonders, but he won't do standing in a ring, saying \u2018come and get me, the champion.\u201d The pictures will show what fighting Sharkey did, how he hustled Jeffries along.Suppose Sharkey did throw his arm out of joint and was otherwise hurt in the last few rounds.That stould have made it easy for Jeffries to finish bim if the champion was a good one and admitted that Sharkey was getting weak at the close and migh: have been knocked out if they had gone to a finish.They were not fighting to a finish.They were boxing 25 rounds, and Sharkey outpointed his man.\u2019 rer SPORTING MISCELLANY.Metropolitan Golf Club's Final Competition of the Season Held on Saturday Afternoon.The annual prize
