dated April 7, 1900, says the regiment was then marching on Pretoria, with Lord Roberts\u2019s army.They had been five times in action, up to that date, and it seemed as though Providence had been watching over the.Canadians especially, as they had not had a single casualty.After declaring against the Boers\u2019 running tactics, Corporal Butler says: \u2018I am writing on Boer paper which I have just commandeered.1 also took a blanket, horse and saddle, a pot to cook my food in, and a chickon, which is O.K., as General Roberts says to take what 18 necessary, but not to loot.This is a

Roman Catholic community and the energy and zeal of Lieutaol.Ryerson, M.D., and the Canadian Red Cross Society, the condition of the sick and wounded would have been very different from what I found

work performed by the Canadian Red Cross Society here under the guidance of Lieut.Col.Ryerson, M.D.The sick and wounded came from Paardeberg in too large numbers and at too great a pace for me to meet the medical requirements.The Kimberley people found halls and schools and as many beds as they could, \u2018but 300 trestle beds and- extra blankets appeared, 280 far as Ï could make out, from \u2018the skies.Only yesterday I found out that Lieut.-Col.Ryerson bad seen our wants and had got the De Beers men to make the beds, and had bought the blankets and hospital requirements and placed these things in the hospital without seying a word to any one.Here, at any rate, is money spent in a practical manner by the agent, a medical man, who ascertains the place where aid is required, and who uses his own judgment as to what is required.\u201c \u201cLieut.-Col.Ryerson leaves to-day, and has left.me a chéque to spend as I think best for the sick.\u2018 \u201cFour Canadian nurses come

the \u2018Tribune\u2019 says.London has been severed temporarily from communication with two centres of the most interesting news\u2014Pekin and Pretoria.The Boxers, \u2018like the Boers, have cut the wires, and Tien-tsin and Taku have not known with precision what was happening at Pekin, where the imperial government is censuring the regular, troops for offering resistance to the rebels and complimenting the fanatical mobs for their patriotimm and public spirit in killing for- cigners and burning their property.The force of over two thousand marines which left Tien-tsin on Sunday and yesterday in three trains is believed to have reached the capital in safety.The presencé of this force was urgently needed, for the Dowager Empress has dropped all pretences, and is in open sympathy with the enemies of the missionaries and foreigners, and all the mission property at Pekin is menaced with the fate of the American station at Tung Chow, where the buildings were destroyed and the na: tive \u2018Christians murdered by the soldiers commissioned to protect them.It is the story of Armenia repeated in Pekin.AN Christian converts and foreigners at the capital are at the mercy of the mobs as well as the regular® soldiers, unless marines from the thirty- ove.ships of war can.protect them.a A REASSURING FEATURE.A reassuring feature of the situation : is apparent in the.heartiness with which - the great powers are co-operating in a dé-.termined effort to protect.foreign interests in China.The United States Government is accepting its responsibility | for the lives and property of Americans, : and even the minor states like Denmark, are adopting protective measures.Reports\u2019 that Russian troops have \u2018crossed the frontier, and that 6,000 men- from the garrison at Port Ar thur are preparing to go to Pekin under |an arfangement agreed upon by the Eu- ropéan Powers are not fully confirmed, but the crisis is so momentous that the jealousies of the suspicious European capitals may be overcome and the Nearest foreign army be despatched \u2018to Pekin to avert massacre and rapine.\u2014\u2014 LONDON ENCAMIPMENT.CHARGES AGAINST .THE (CAN: TEENS HAD

CENT.SUED BY CHOCOLATE KING.Mr.Menier Claims Damages From Dr.Griffith in the Fox Bay Case.SETTLERS WILL BE DETAINED AT QUEBEC ON THEIR WAY TO THE NORTH-WEST TO GIVE EVIDENCE \u2014\u2014 Quebec, June 12.\u2014Although the Fox Bay settlers have left Anticosti and \u201cage.o arrive some time to-day, on their 3 trouble in the connection is not by any means settled.On the contrary, it nas been forced into a new channel, which is likely to detain these poor.people here for some time, and which has aroused the utmost indignation among their well- wishers, and especially arñong the many friends of the Rev.Dr.Griffith, the popular pastor of the Methodist Church here, who, as chairman of the Quebec district of the Methodist Church, of which Anti- costi forms part, and as ex-president of the Montreal Conference has been inde- faligable in\u2019 his efforts from the very beginning of the difficulties between Mr.Menier and the Fox Bay settlers to bring them to a peaceful \u2018and satisfactory sqlu- tion.However, in the performance.of his duty towards the adherents of.his church on the island, Dr.Griffith appears to have incurred the enmity .of its vro- prietor.About two weeks ago Mr.Men- ier preferred a charge against Dr.Griffith for obstructing the course of justice, to pay no attention tothe decision of Judge Gagne, rendered against them at Murray Bay in October last, but to remain on the island and-defy the proprietor.À notice of protest was-xerved on the doctor, who shortly afterwards left for Gananoque to attend the confercnce.During his absence a sUMmons Was served at his house requiring his presence at Bay St: Paul in Jui torney-General put his.vato.y afair on Saturday morning.last.Die \u2018appointed in the outcome of the criminal rroceedings, Mr.Menier\u2019s agent imme: diately entered an action for damages, the writ being served on.Dr.Griffith yesterday morning.The amount claïm- ed is $5,600, and the action ig entered as Henri Emile Anatole Menier ve.Thomas Griffith.The allegÂtions are.numerous, but the gist of the complaint is'that Dr.Griffith was a party to a bargain with Mr.Menier that on payment of a certain sum by Mr.Menier the settlers shouid be removed to the north shore, and that this plan was not.broached .to.the sat- tlers by the reverend doctor.The plaintiff also charges that the défendant incited the people to remain on\u2019 the island, knowing that Mr.Menier had refused them permission.Several other charges of a similar nature are made.Needless to say Dr.Griffith emphatically declares that they are false.Yesterday afternoon he - was ° \u2018served with a motion to the effect that the Fox Bay settlers would be detained on their arrival in Quebec in order th.bé heard as witnesses in the damage.suit.Their original plan was to proceed, fmmediate- ly to Manitoba, but they will\u2019 \u201cbe subpoenaed immediately on their arrival and may be required -to remain - over for some time.The:

while london can boast of as many as ninety- one women doctors.Dentistry is not an eminently suitable profession for women, as it requires considerable strength; nevertheless, there are women both in London and the provinces who enjoy not à little repute as teeth extractors.Several chemists\u2019 shops are being run bv women.It is claimed for pharmacy that it is one of the best occupations for the fair sex, who, so far, have acquitted temselves so creditably in this department that quite a number of physicians are now employing women dispensers in p.tre of men.To become a chemist, it 1s necessary for a girl to undergo a course of training in a chemist\u2019s shop extending ever a period of three years.This train- mg costs from a hundred to a hundred and thirty-five pounds ; but, heavy ns the initial outlay may be, it yields a pro- fitible return.If a woman has not the capral to set up in business as a druggist for herself, she can obtain a berth as à d-penser in a hospital, which will bring her in a salary ranging from a hun- drei 5 a hundred and fifty pounds per annum.Even our old friend the commercial tra- Yelivr 1s not free from the competition of Wouien.According to a recent return, hé :#wer than a hundred and fifty-five ladies are at this moment scouring the Country with samples\u2014and doing well, \u201800.One of the oddest occupations that omen have taken to lately is that of Ten: calleetion.Tt is commonly supposed thas dry money from an impecunious \u201cT1 0 sirong arm and a ferocious as- \u201care absolutely essential.Be this ns \u201c7, about a dozen women are living ° commissions they make as agents oe landlords.© mn factory and sanitary inspectors : ue novelty, but it is not generally 777 that there are female accountants, 7 ees of their own.A few months = «aly went so far as to apply for (sen to the Institute of Chartered ntints, The Institute, however, ;

but aecording to the pro- \u2018portions of the population, the resources \u2014 der, all'these sounds together, in a mai, of our Protestant schools are becoming less and less owing to the tendency of business men to put their business into the form of limited liability companies.It would appear that a man by becoming a member of a joint stock company loses the religious liberty guaranteed him by our constitution and his recognized right to a creed and a conscience and becomes a mere financial item to\u2019 be disposed of by a majority.We do not know how strongly the Protestant part of the community resents this plunder of its contributions to education.It is defended on the score that the Protestants whose taxes are thus taken are usually employers and that their employees, customers and all those by whom they make money are largely Roman Catholics and that these latter have a right in this as in everything else to their share of the earnings when appropriated to public use.It is not usual for the Roman Catholic Church to adopt such socialistic arguments, but there is certainly a good deal of force in this view.The tax money is not collected for the purpose of fulfilling a duty which belongs properly to the parents, but to protect the body politic against the danger which ignorance involves to a self-governing community, We are indeed of opinion that Protestants would complain very little of this deflection of their money if they were sure that it was really going to the imparting of a thorough and liberalizing education.Indeed, we believe many would go further and approve of a common school system for the whole community, in which not only the proceeds of company taxation, but of all the taxation, would be divided in proportion to population.There would be many advantages in that plan, chiefly in the unification of the pdpula- tion.There is, however, one advantage in_the present plan which would be most unwillingly sacrificed, and that is the scope it affords for religious inebruotion, We need not say, however, that so ldng as religious instruction is included in the school work it is in the abstract wrong to take any man's money by law for the teaching of a faith which is agaihst that man\u2019s conscience, so that for the present it is the only right way to divide the people\u2019s money according to the faith \u2018of \u2018the \u201cPeople taxed.What, we have! now to do, however, is to look .on this- matter with the eyes of the commissioners, who are being asked to make bricks without straw, and who see the resources on which they have been counting dry- Ing up owing to the economic change which is taking place.We do not think the school funds could be more economically or wisely managed than they have been by this unpaid Board of School (Commissioners.We are certain that they would be managed wurse if the management got into politics.As the money they manage is well used, we think that the community should see to it that they are no longer pinched as they have been, and that, if necessary, the school rate be increased rather than that the schools should come to straits.tree = LIEUT.-GOVERNOR MeINNES\u2019S POSITION.The latest returns of the British; Columbia provincial elections do not \u2018alter the general result, which is adverse to the Martin Government, and also té the Lieut.-Governor, Mr.McInnes.Two of Mr.Martins colleagues, Messrs.Yates and Beebe, have been defeated so badly that they lose their deposits; a third, Mr.\u2018Curtis, was elected by a very narrow majority.Only.eight sträight government \u2018candidates, besides hiïieelf, out of 32 who were nominated and stood for election, were returned.Mr.Martin claims two more supporters, but these are independents elected in oppo ition to his own candidates.Mr.Mar tin says \u2018that the Opposition were defeated as a party also.This is no doubt true, but their defeat was - not so decisive as that of the government.The only three members of the former Opposition who ran, \u2018namely, the late leader, Mr.Turner, and Messrs.Eberts and Pooley, were all elected by fair majorities, and of 24 candidates, 17 wère elected.The straight Opposition forms the strongest party in the present legislature; and should have the best chance to form a government.This is all the more obvious inasmuch as the leaders of all the other parties were strangely enough defeated, Mr.Cotton, the leader of the Provincial party, Mr.Wilson, the leader of the Conservatives, and unfortunately also Mr.McIntosh, who was {formerly governor of the North | West Territories, and who might have proved a \u2018 possible\u2019 \u2018end \u201cgood premier of a \u2018coalition governmen: ent.' Mr.MONTREAL DAILY Smith, the leader of the Labor party, was the exception to the rule of the defeated among the leaders of the minor political parties, he being elected by a fair majority, but he is without support in the new legislature.It would appear that Mr.Turner, the late and present leader of the Opposition, is the only pos- gible premier.But it seems probable that the Lieutenant-Governor will find that he cannot call upon Mr.Turner to form a government under the circumstances in which he called upon Mr.Martin to form a government.When the Semlin Government was dismissed from office by the Lieutenant-Governor, the ordinary course would have been to call upon the leader of the Opposition, Mr.Turner, to form a government.Mr.Turner was passed over for Mr.Martin, and Mr.Turner, at the time, protested in the Assembly against the Lieutenant- Governor\u2019s whole course of dismissing a ministry and setting up as premier a man who had not the confidence of any portion of the Assembly.Lieut.-Gover- nor McInnes can hardly, under the ar cumstances, therefore, continue in his.office.It will be remembered the whole question of his procedure was brought up in the House of Commons a few weeks ago.At that time the Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, said :\u2014 The Ljeutenant-Governor has acted within the precincts of his power.Whether he has acted wisely or not is a question which is submitted, not to this Government rot to this Parliament, but to the people of British Columbia.The Lieutenant-Gover- nor, in the exercise of his authority, has taken & very serious step, I must admit, and one whigh, I presume, he has not taken except after due and serious reflection.He bas taken the step of dismissing his responsible advisérs, who, it may be claimed, in one sense, though they had been defeated.on the previous day, had still the confl - dence of the House; but he bas found advisers ready and willing to take the responsibility of his action.Now, it has been determined more than once, and the question is no longer in dispute, that under such ciroumstances the remedy is in the hands of the people themselves.It is for the people of the Province of British Columbia to declare whether they approve or disapprove of the action of the Lieuten- ant-Governor.- I apprehend that untder such circumstances 4s these which exist in British Columbia to-day it is the duty of the Lieutenant-Governor at an early date to dissolve the House .and to sunimon the electors at the polls apd submit ta.them with as DNttle delay ad possible, the, question which he has himself, by his conduct, placed before them.It is not, in my judgment, within the duty of the Dominion Government at this moment to interfere.We may have our views on the action of the Lieutenant-Governor.The hon.gentleman says that he has acted unwisely.At this moment it would not be prudent nor advisable for me even to offer my own per- gonal opinion on the matter; I should not sgy a single word to prejudge the question.We may have our views, I say, as to the advisability of the conduct of the Lieuten- ant-Governor and as to the method in which he has proceeded, but all this is in the hands of the people of the province.It they approve of the action of the Lieu- tenant-Governor, in my judgment, that is an end of the question.If they disapprove of it by returning to the House of Assembly a majority opposed to the present Government, it is obvious that the Lieutenant- Governor will be found to have taken a very serious step.But until the people have pronounced on the matter, I submit very respectfully to the judgment of the House that it is not for\u2018this Parliament, and still less for this Government, to offer any opinion as to what has taken place in British Columbia.It will be remembered that Sir John Macdonald dismissed Letellier de St.Just, the lieutenant-governor of this province, from office even after the Joly ministry, which had accepted the.responsibility of y, Lieut-Governor Letellier\u2019s course, had heen elected on appeal to the province.Lieut.-Governor McInnes and his premier, Mr.Martin, have been both rebuked for presumption, and both have been virtually told that they do not pos- sees the confidence of the people.It is to be hoped that the lieutenant-governor will resign and make way for the appointment of a mederate,.reasonable statesman who will administer the province more gently and smoothly.THE WAR SITUATION.Telegraph communication with Lord Robetts at Pretoria does not seem to have heen restored up to one o'clock today; and of course the twenty miles of railway destroyed between America and Roodeval, north of Kroonstad, will take some time to repair after the Boers have been driven away.~Regarding Lord Roberts's operations at Pretoria and westward against General Botha there is.no news ¢ven from Boer .sources via.Delagoa Bay, from \u2018which wild \u2018réports of \"Boer successes, such Re the recécupa- tion of Bloemfontein, have been sént.out.It may be taken for granted.that Lord Roberts \u2018is piifsuing his own cam- paigd, leaving to the ample Bfitish forces | | in the Orange River Colony the work of restoring the railway communication between Bloemfontein and Pretoria.From Capetown comes the apperently authentic report that Lord Roberts had released 151 officers and 3,500 non-com- missioned officers and men held as pris oners by the Boers at Waterfall, thirteen miles north of Pretoria.There is no further news from Bloemfontein or Capetown of the progress made by Lord Methuen or General Chermside in driving away the Boers from the railway at Roodeval.General Brabant is reported to have received the surrender of 1,500 Boers at Ficksburg.In that case the way is open to General Rundle\u2019s advance upon Bethlehem and Harrismith, General Hunter is reported to have accepted the surrender of a large body of Johannesburg mounted policemen (Zarps) at Ventersdorp.General Baden-Powell end Colonel Plumer are said to be marching from Zeerust upon Rustenberg.General Buller has done a very.difi- cult and heavy piece of work which is illustrated by a map in another part of this paper.He has turned the impregnable Boer position at Laing\u2019s Nek and Majuba Hill, by marching an infantry division and a cavalry brigade westward from Mouut Prospect, across the Drak- ensberg Mountains by a pass under In- kewelo Mountain, and then marching northward forced another pass under Iketeni Mountain, recrossing the Drak- ensberg and again entering Natal, north of Laing\u2019s Nek.He has an infantry division on the rear of the Boer position, and has probably to-day seized the railway at Charlestown, a village on the Transvaal frontier.The Boers will probably retreat eastward into the Transvaal, but ought not to be able to get away with their big guns if pursued by General Clery\u2019s division.General Buller\u2019s advance along the railway to Stan- derton and Heidelburg to join Lord Roberts will now be easy.It is possible Le may turn east and advance direc:lv against the new Transvaal capital, Macha.dodorp, or against Middelburg.THE CLOSING SESSION.\u2014 CONGREGATIONAL UNION WILL - « MRÉT-IN TORONTO NEXT >] | YHAR.The closing session of the Congrega- ticnal Uninu was held yesterday after- The majority of the ministers noon.THE REV.A.F.McGREGOR, Who retires from the Superintendency of Home Missions.had departed for home and the attendance was small.After some routine business had been disposed of, the Rev.W.MacIntosh, of Ottawa, read a paper on \u2018The federation of the Churches,\u2019 in which he strongly advisad federation in church .work, while at the same time retaining ' denominational unity, He did not advise atalgamation, but he held that the spirit of rivalry betweén the churches was not only un-Christian, hut THE REV.A.MARGRETT, BURFORD, on that it was contrary to ordinary common sense as displaved ifi secular affairs.It was true, however, that there wis a movement.for , confederation, and onc thing that argued well for its successful culmination \u2018lay in the fact that it was La movement among the common people in the churches, and not trom an: poux.er.In Mr.MacIntosh\u2019s OP movement was destined to bu 11, est in its results of any since \u20181.be mation.The lines along wp.e T advised fedecation were speci.|.à gelistic work among the masses .tion, and also in the work for y.and economical reforms.The discussion which followe: + Bf long and interesting, almost OS present giving his views, and +1 1 1 census of opinion was that foo - aggressive work was desirable.1.-.Congregationalism could not im afford to drop any of its denom:1 .principles.At the close of the discuesur : it business committee brought ini.u- | = votes of thanks to those wi, co sisted in making the mecting.à Des (a It was decided to ac opt the ins - - ter to meet in the Northern Congres BY!

in his seat to deny all complicity in the affair.At his request this was entercd in the records.The investigation of the charges laid against Sub-Chief Dubois.by Fireman Naud was authorized.A couple of years ago a claim was made against the city by Dame E.Archambault, wife of ex-Ald.Rainville.It was for $800 damages resulting from a fall on the sidewalk.Judgment has been obtained for the amount, including costs of $218.It was ratified by the council.The plan for the construction of the sewer on Upper St.Denis street haying met with opposition from the City Surveyor St.George, the approval of it was deferred till next meeting.Mr.St.George will send in a long report, giving his reasons.Before adjourning, Mayor Prefontaine was re-elected a member of the Catholic School Board, while Ald,
