Government.He has had the lion\u2019s share of the hardest fighting of the whole war and we are mistaken if it does not turn out that after all he is one of the most popular heroes of the war, though he had hard luck and did not retain the chief command throughout.He has had the enthusiastic admiration, confidence and devotion of his hard-worked army throughout the trying fighting which he and they have done almost conjinually \u2018along the range of the Drakensberg Mountains for three hundred and fifty - miles.Troops unm- der him have crossed the main range of these mountains four times, besides fighting through she mountaing from Colensp to Ladysmith and from Eady- smith to Laing's Nek.The Brikish publié will, when hë retirns to Rug land, remember the hard campaigning - he bas dome, an old man sleeping in the open for weeks and sharing the hardships of his troops.They will remember, too, his straightforward, man- .ly refusal to rewrite bis despatches for publication when requested to do so by Lord Lansdowne.He has been generous in his praise of his army from the generals down through all ranks, and with the exception of one or two of his divisipnal commanders, who failed him at crises and then blamed their chief, General Buller has \u2018had the most devoted and enthusiastic support from his men.THE PEOPLE\u2019S PARTY.The Patrons, who, as political factors in the elections of 1896, exerted no mean influence over the results in the province of Ontario, have been succeeded in the campaign of 1900 by the People\u2019s Party.During recent general elections both in Great Britain and the United States, as\u201d well as in Canada, these organizations, partaking partly of a socialistic, partly of a trades union, partly of an agricultural character, have developed and bave shown considerable activity.They are generally composed of radicals who are in advance of the more self-seeking political parties, and perhaps of their time also.They elect a few candidates, help to make or mar party interests in a few elections, At the next dissolu- revived and then die out.tion of Parliament they are again with a new name, generally with some new and good planks in their platform.The People\u2019s Party, which has put in nomination a couple of candidates, in Toronto, and are preparing to enter yet others in different parts of the country, date their existence, in their present form, from a congress held in Toronto, on Sept.5.About fifty delegates were in attendance.They were largely from Toronto.and Western Ontario; two-thirds of them were farmers.Thus assembled, they got together a platform\u2014plank by plank\u2014as follows: 1, Direct legislation; 2, proportional representation; 3, public ownership; 4 compulsery: arbitration; 5, government banking; 6, public employment; 7, adult suffrage; 8, prohibition.of the liquor traffic.The first six of these were passed by a two-thirds vote, while the last two were added as provisional planks.The Toronto branch of the party have also some planks which are not mentioned here.They include taxation of land values, a legal eight hour work day, compulsory arbitration of all laber disputes, government work to be done by day labor, and public ownership of the liquor traffic.Of all these by far the most popular appears to be the first \u2014direct legislation.By the term direct legislation appears to be ineant the submission by referendum or plebiscite of important matters to the electorate direct.Proportional representation is to be reached by an ingenious process which has been strongly urged by certain doc- It has for its basis the offering candidates in trinaires.principle of groups, so that minorities can concentrate their votes, and so secure representation.Public

trades unions in St.Mary\u2019s Division of this city.FIRE INSURANCE.The returns of the various fire insur ance offices for the year 1899 show the barest mergin of profit, where a profit has been made, and in many cases they show an actual loss.The London \u2018Review\u2019 has compiled the percentage of losses and.akpenses to premiums in the case of fifty British fire offices, and it is found that of the twenty-one British companies doing business in Canada, the losses and expenses amounted to \u201c01.5 percent of the premiums in the case of the Caledonian, 112.7 in the case of the Lancashire, 101.4 in the case of the Liverpool & London & Globe, and 103.2 in the case of the Scottish Union and National.As will be seen, in these four cases, the expenses exceeded the income, and in only three cases were the expenses under 90 percent, while in the other fourteen cases the expenses ranged from pinety and a quarter to ninety- nine percent of the premiums, the average being 95.87 percent.In regard to the exclusively Canadian business of these companies for 1899, it is shown by the returns at Ottawa that.eight of them paid out more than they received in premiums, namely, the Atlas, the Commercial Union, the Imperial, the Lancashire, the Liverpool & London & Globe, the National of Ireland, the North British & Mercantile, and the fun.other companies was 96.72 percent, leaving a margin of profit of only 3.28 per- | cent for dividends and the manifold fu- The average expenditure of the ture contingencies.It goes without saying that the above shows fire under writing

Government.: heavy losses are made in hazardous lo calities, part of the burden has to be torne by first-class properties.The new rates are being seriously objected toi im bull, but, considering past losses and present risks, the companies would sem to be in a position to get the worst of it.The threatened generel increase in rates, however, as a grave one for all property owners and for business interests.It is manifestly unfair that well built and carefully governed cities should have to pay for the recklessness of other places.To obviate this to some extent it might be possible for a city which provides the means of fire extinction to devise also some scheme of cheap municipal insurance, If that were done, both existing buildings and those in course of erection would be examined more carefully for defective construction, and, with the disappearance of the present fire-traps and the sub- atitution of buildings.as nearly as possible fireproof, an era of very low fire insurance rates should follow.- ANNIVERSARY OF THE TRANS VAAL\u2019S DECLARATION OF WAR.i A year ago to-day the Transvaal and Orange Free State declared war against the British Empire; to-day there is no Transvaal or Orange Free State, but there are the Orange River and Vaal River colonies of the British Empire.It was on Oct.9, last year, that the British agent of Her Majesty\u2019s Govern- Mr.Cunningham- Greene, was amazed at receiving from the Transvaal Government an extraordinary \u2018note\u2019 which on examination was found to be nothing more or less than an ultimatum demanding the withdrawal of British troops from British South Africa.The demands of the Transvaal Government were couched in terms of arrogance which none of the great pow- era of Europe would have used to the amallest and weakest civilized nation.The Transvaal government's note demanded: (1) That all points of mutual difference shall be regulated by the friendly course of arbitration or by whatever amicable way may be agreed upon.by the Transvaal Government and the Brit ment at Pretoria, £3).That alt the.British opie; Hérder of this Republic shall be inset.|B lv withdrawn.- which have arrived in South Africa since June 1, 1808, shall be removed irom.South Africa within a reasonable time to be agreed upon with this government and with a mutual assurance and guarantee on the part of this government that no attack upon or hostilities against any portion of the possessions of the British Government shall be made by the Republic during further negotiations within a period of time to be subsequently agreed upon between the governments; and the Transvaal Government will, in compliance therewith, be prepared to withdraw the armed burghers of this .e- public from the British borders.(4) That British troops which ure now on the high seas shall not be landed in any part of South Africa.(3) The Transvaal Government must press for an immediate and affirmative answer to these four demands and eatn- estly request the British Government to return auch answer before or upon Wednesday, Qot.11, 1899, not later than five o'clock p.n.; and the Transvaal Government desires further to add that in the event of ynexpéctedly no, satisfactory answer: being received \u2018By: it within that interval it will, tks great regret, be compelled to regard the sc- tion of the.British Government as a formial d lion\u2019 of war and will not hold itsel: refponsible for the consequences thereof; and thet in event of any further movements of troops taking place within the above-mentioned time MM the nearer direction of our borders |¢ this government will be compelled to\" regard thet also as a formal declaration of war.CL y As the Boer forces in South Africa far outnumbered the British forces, and as they were far nearer the frontier than the British forces, the demands of the Transvaal: Government were not made because of the fear of any immediate attack by the British Government, which was quite unprepared for war.The note was, in fact, an ultimatum which the Transvaal Government intended should be, in effect, a declarition of war.Indeed it was so \u2018assumed by that government to be as on Oct, 10, the day before the reply had been ask: ed for,\u201d a proclamation was issued by the Trensvaal Government, addisse od to all Afrikanders t ot South Africa, calling upon them to\u2019 take up grms against.the.British - Government.On.Oct.1l'the British agent ah Pre toria handed in the reply of the British - § 4 fu SDAY, Ooroser 11, 1990, Government, which was to the effect that Her Majesty\u2019s Government had received with great regret the peremptory demands of the Government of the South \u2018African Republic, which were such as Her Majesty\u2019s Government deemed it impossible to discuss.The very next day, Oct.12, Mr.Cunningham Greene left Pretoria, and on the same date the Boer forces invaded Natal at Volkerust and at Van Reenen\u2019s Pass, where thev seized the British trains to Harrismith.On that date also the Boers invaded Bechuanaland and captured an armored train near Mafeking.It was on the fourteenth of O- tober that Newcastle, in Natal, was oorupied by the Boer forces, and on Oct.15 the Kimberley railway and telegraph lines were cut, Mr.Cecil Rhodes being nearly captured on the last train goirg into Kimberley, which was then invested.The battie of Talana Hill, where General Symons defeated (ien- eral Lucas Meyer's forces, was the first serious encounter, and took place un Oct.2a, THE COMING ELECTIONS AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.To the Methodist People of the Province of Ontario : This appeal is to the ministers, friends and adherents of the Methodist Church, citizens of our common country, rejoicing in its welfare, and having political influence and votes that can be used for its weal or woe.It is an urgent appeal, under the authority of our Methodist Church, to patriotic Canadians, who are also Methodists, to employ the rights and powers of their citizenship to uproot and destroy the liquor traffic, which, by common con- gent, is 80 injurious to this Dominion and to the British empire at large.It is an appeal made in view of the coming Dominion elections, to all that will hear our voice, to conaider most se- viously their duty to God, to their country and to the race.; It is an appeal to our people in their several relations in life to take a deep and fervid interest in the elections and in their results, striving from the beginning, and in all consultations and meetings at every step, and in all canvas for votes, and record and returns of the votes, to have men nominated and elected to parliament who will represent the best senti- ey of our country on the prohibition AT.y Cin Mery BIW It is ax\u2018epreal to dur People who héve votes to combine among themeelves, and to unite with other voters to defeat the men that have failed to promote the prohibition cause, It is an appeal to broadest intelligence and soundest patriotism to examine well whether our ordinary party alliances are not at war with the public interest in this regard, and to give preference to our country and the public interest every time.This is not an appeal to a rabble or a thoughtless crowd, but it is an appeal to à people who think, and fear their God, and Jove their country.These times pre-eminently justify euch an appeal.We are not satisfied, and we dare not be satisfied with the legiala- tive and political progress of the cause of prohibition.Good men end true of bel the liguar traffic, and who.will be trae per men of all churches, are working and praying for the extinotion of the liquor traffic.They believe that it is the immediate duty of the government to grapple with this monster evil.They do not propose to give up or slacken other lines of effort, as the work of the pulpit, the work of the press, the work of the platform, the work of home, sôciety and school, and the moral persuasion of the individual.Indeed, these lines of effort must be fully vitalized and more faithfully applied than ever before.But they believe, as has been more than a thousand times affirmed, on the highest authority, and proven on the surest testimony, that the liquor traffic is a giant nore), social and political evil, à civil and netional wrong, the destroyer of the individual, the foe of the family, the cor rupter of society, and a menace to the etate, imperilling every public and private interest in the dand.They as firmly believe it is the duty of the government.to place the whole wrong and iniquity under the ban of public law.\u201cThe position of our Church in these matters is'plain end unquestionable.Qur last General Conference distinctly pro- pounced as follows: & \u2018That the traffic in intoxicating liquors is immoral, and it is the duty of the civil government to prohibit it.- \u2018That the liquor traffic is a business an- tegonigtic to \u2018every interest of the Church and the State.\u2018That tbe only proper attitude of the Christian toward the liquor traffic ie that of relentless hostility ; and ell members of the\u201d Mefhodist Church who possess the elective franchise are hereby strongly recommended to use their influence to secure the nomination of municipal \u2018and parliamentary candidates known to favor and eupport prahibition and to use their votes as a solemn trust to elect such candidates, thus promoting the res èue of our country from the guilt and dishonor which have been brought upon it by à criminal complicity with the traf- ee = all

the enquete began before Judge Cho- _.et on the charge of conspiracy laid gainst Alex.McCullough, vice-president of (\u2018roil & McCullough Dairy Company, in |i juidation; Donald J.McGillls and Thos.Chisholm, officers of the Montreal Cold srorage and Freezing Company, also in nuidation, by the Merchants Bank of pialitax.The information alleges that tne sum of $220,000 was obtained from the Merchants Bank of Halifax on fraudulent ~arehouse receipts as a result of the con- piracy charged againsl the accused.Page Detioyers sat part of the time with Judge Choquet.The following coun- s+] have peen retained in the case: Mr.J.P.Cooke, Q.C., cruwn prosecutor, and Mr.R.D.McGibbon, Q.C., represent the Mercharts Bank of Halifax; Mr.Donald Q.C., and Mr.F.8.Maclen- nan, Q.C., watch the interests of McCullough; Mr.H.C.St.Pierre, Q.C., and Mr.EB Devlin, appear for McGillis; Mr.J.N.Greenshields, Q.C., is for Chisholm, and Mr.H.J.Kavanagh, Q.C., is employed by the Megurs.Mullin.While most of the evidence given yesterday was necessarily a repetition of that given in the civil proceedings there were some Interesting statements made, which had not come out before.BEGINNING OF rHE COMPANY.Mr.James B.Mullin, president of tha Montreal Cold Btorage and Freezing Company, was the first witness called.He told of the formation of the company,which was Incorporated by special act of the Quebec Legislature in 1897; of how D.J.McGlills was at first appointed treasurer, put was made secretary treasurer some elght or nine months ago, and said that Thomas J.Chisholm was manager at an annual salary of $1,600, and nothing was done without consultiag him.He was also a director part of the time.The directors looked to Chisholm to supervise the running of the busiasss, and McGillis looked after the ofâce work.Personally, witness ook no active part In the details of the busiaess.He issued no receipts and checked no goods, but simply presided at the regular meetings of the directors, and with the others saw that competent bands were employed about the establishment.The next witness was Mr.D.M.Stewart, inspector of the Merchants Bank of Halifax.Mr.Stewart deposed that the bank did business with the Croil & Mc- Cullough Dairy Company, such as the purchase of bills of exchange, on Erglish Louses.and the discounttag of notes on the security of warehouse receipts issved Ly the Montreal Cold Storage and Freezing Company.They had about $220,%0 worth nf these receipts.They had also cashed billa of exchange for Chisholm personally, drawn by D.McGillis, on English liouses, and the proceeds had been placed to Chisholm's credit.These transactions wruld amount to about $6 660.Witness identified two notes, one for $12,700 and the other for $8,150, which had been dis- ronnted by the bank for the Croil & Mo- Cullough Dairy Company, and the ware- tovse receipts attached to which were 1.21% packages, and 560 tubs of butter, res- pertively A STA[ ~~ \"NG

(Conciuded.) It was January.Burrabong was full .of visitors, who had left Sydney to spend the worst of the summer in a cooler air.\u2018The Station Hotel bad its full comple ment of boarders, and Mrs.Mason employed three maid-servants for the indoor werk.It was a terrible day\u2014one of those days when the heat-wave sweeps Over Australia and makes unbearable even ite coolest regions.A high wind\u2014a gale, indeed, that licked the land with tongues of fire\u2014it was a record dav, the mercury at a hundred and five degrees in the shade, and this at Burra- beng ! Mrs Mason came panting into the | kitchen at six o\u2019clock in the morning, to set the wheels of the work going.\u2018Now, Nada, this is the day for the pantries.Mind you scrub down every shelf thoroughly; and wien you have whitened the floors, take the pipe-clay and whiten the back verandah and the court vard.\u2018Can\u2019t I do it to-morrow, Mrs.Mason ?It\u2019s going to be a dreadful day; I feel it already.\u2019 \u2018Nonsense! To-morrow, indeed! A servant-girl cannot ehirk her duties because it happens to be a warm day.Tomorrow will have its duties, as to-day bas.nonsense!\u2019 So Nada began her long round of work, and her fellow-servants begin theirs.\u2018To them the work and the weather were triflee\u2014to her, otherwise; end they pitied her for her white lips and her fragile form.And Mrs.Mason made herself agreeable to a few of the lady visitors who refused to brave the heat and the wind, preferring to remain indoors with closed windows and drawn blinds.She sat down with them, fanning herself vigorously and chatting affably, telling them all about Burrabong and the pec- ple in it, and delaring that in all the years she had lived there she had ney- er known such a day as this.\u2018It\u2019s quite overpowering, really.Well, I've heard a good many eay this country ia only fit for black fellows, but I always thought Burrebong wae an Englishman\u2019s strength and was very nervous dnd dleep- ill\u2019 less at night, and got up in the morning as tired as when I went to bed.\u201cI had no energy and was in a miserable state of health.\u201c Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills, which I got atRichard\u2019s Drug Storeherg, changed me from a condition of misery to good health.They builtup my system, | strengthened my nerves, restored brisk circulation of m blood, and made a new man of me, heartily recommend them to any one ifering from the after effects of Grippe, or any other severe illacss.\u201d HEADQUARTERS =< MALPECQUES, By the Dozen, 13y the Peck, - By the Hundred, By the Barrel, PHELPSA& BINNS - 56 Victoria Square.Bell Tel.Main 1387, ROYAL SILVER PLATE CO.OLD AND SILVER PLATERS.~DSILV ERWARE, Table and Ornamental, Made Now, At Moderate Prices, 40 ST.LAMBERT HILL.++.DOES.PACKARD\u2019S Ladies\u2019 Special Dressing GIVES THE BEST SHINE.CLEANS AND PRESERVES THE LEATHER.RE iL H.Packard & Co.{ MONTREAL.AT SHOE STORES 25e.more energetic you are, the less you feel the heat.It\u2019s really wicked to give way like you do.\u2019 \u2018But it\u2019s over a hundred in the shade !\u2019 \u2018Well, well, what of thet?If its that here, it's worse everywhere else.What must it be at Bourke, for instance?Go end ask the boes to give you a bottle of soda water ; that will- refresh you.\u2019 \u2018Thank you, but it would choke me ; I feel too ill to drink anything.\u2019 \u2018Well, hurry round and get finished ; ADVERTISEMENTS.\u201cIf you send me anythin \u2018just as good as Ayer\u2019s,\u2019 { shal send it right back.\u201cI igh afford to experiment with shoe polish, but i can\u2019t and won't experimen with the medicine which means sickness or health to me.\u201d J.C.Ayzr Company, Practical Chemists, Lowell, Mans Ayet\u2019s Sarsaparilla Ayer*s Hair Vigor Ayer's Pills Ayers Cherry Pectora\u2019 Ayer\u2019s Ague Cure Ayer's Comatons Let me bear no more of such paradise ; to-day I\u2019m not so sure even of | \"| tance with God throu \"pes alway, then you may rest for an hour or so be- pe] fore ten.\u2019 And Nada took her pail and her pipe- olay to the back verandah, and tried to fight againet her jonging to lie down and let the work go.The Back verandsh ran round the three sides of a square court yard, and from the middle side a few steps led down into the white stoned yard iteelf.When Nada had whitened the sides and the steps, she had to kneel down in the yard, with the full flare of the pitiless sunshine on her back.\u2018I daresay it is a terrible task for the girl,\u2019 eaid Mrs.Mason to herself es she passed one of the windows and caught a glimpse of the kneeling servant.\u2018Bub every one has unpleasant duties to perform sometimes, and every one should try to do them with Christian resigma- tion.\u2019 * * * - - + \u2018Mrs.Mason! Mrs.Mason ! Where's the missus, Bettie ?It was Tom, the bostler, asking the question, as he ran along the upper corridor, and Mrs.Mason, who was bathing her hot brow in toilet vinegar, heard him and ran out of her bedroom, towel in hand.\u2018What is it, Tom ?\u2018Missus, the girl Carr\u2014sunstroke ! The boss is with her in the private parlor ; Jim\u2019s gone for Dr.Selwyn.\u2019 Then Mrs.Mason ran down to the room where her husband was leaning over the proetrate form of the girl on the couch, and two or three of the boarders were looking on end doing nothing, well knowing, as he did, thet nothing could be done\u2014for Nada was dead ! Dr.Selwyn came, perspiring, on the scene.\u2018No good,\u201d he said ; \u2018heat apo- plexy\u2014the second case I've had to-day.\u2019 An hour later Mrs.Middleton and Mrs.Mason came softly together from the room in which the dead girl lay.\u2018Henry will never forgive me\u2014never ! sobbed the widow.\u2018And I,\u201d said Mrs.Mason, \u2018shall never forgive myself ; but I never thought\u2014I never dreamed\u2014she felt the heat that bad, poor girl I \u2018Bhe was always delicate.1 dread to write to her father ; he'll take it to heart dreadful.Yet, who can help it ?The weather, the fearful weather.killed her.\u2019 \u2018Yes, it was all owing to the hest; we cannot, with the best intentions, prevent such things happening.What is to be, will be, I suppose.\u2019 So they comforted themselves and each other.And Mrs.Middleton wrote to her brother and told him what had happened, but she did not tell him that Nada that.\u201d was a servant at the Station Hotel \u201chen Yet, lit : it happened.She merely said : \u2018Heat said : pri leon Trg, Made, che stroke ; she died instantly.It was a about like that 1 You look like a dead terrible day here, but nothing Fi whet it thing ! pren yo k, sow, or V8 in.sams sos .places.Many lives lost.Te or Deak AN am phe | \"06, Mrs.* son; Pte hot 5 I'feels so} Tare.oo a ves, To \u2018Fiddi deu ' youn dome.d carried to Sydney, + like vou ! ! ot Thi Toe girl che could lie by her mother at Rook- wood.I thought you'd like it eo.God bless you, Henry ; I shall be glad to welcome you to my home when you cn come.Write soon.\u2019 But he neither wrote nor came, and Mrs.Middleton heard mo more of him.\u2018If I were to lose her, Hannah, I should just die\u2019 How often she thought of those words as the years passed by.\u2018But you'll take care of her, won't you \u201d And she had promised! How had she kept her promise ?How, indeed! She tried hard to discover Henry's whereabouts ; she made inquiries, but could gain no information.She hoped to find him, to coax him to her home, to take care of him, and try in some measure to make him happy ; but that satisfaction wes denied her.And then she had a pure white stone erected over the grave at Rookwood, with his wife's name and a text upon the upper part, and under it, in letters of gold, the one word, Nada.But she had no satisfaction in that, either, for there was a weight upon her heart\u2014a weight of sorrow, heavier than stone, and upon it, engraven in tears, that one name \u2018Nada,\u2019 always.BIBLE THOUGHTS.THURSDAY, OCT.1L THE THREE OFFERINGS, In Exodus there are three things named as essential to access to, communion with, First\u2014 ne sin offering.(Chro, XV, 22.)

alone possessed the information as to the whereabouts of Prince Ching, and despatched a secret letter to the prince, setting forth that China might count on the support of the Russian Government to extricate her from her difficulties; that at a proper moment the withdrawal of the foreign troops from Pekin would be proposed, and that France and Germany would assur- cdly accede to the proposal, and that Great Britain, Japan and the United States would be reluctantly compelled to follow their example.Meanwhile, the Russian minister in Pekin was speaking of increasing his country\u2019s forces in the capital, and dis- | Playing a warlike and uncompromising front.By and by he communicated to his colleagues information that Prince Ching was in Hwailai, and he suggested that\u201d he be given safe passage if he came to negotiate for peace.As soon as Ching was safely in Pekin, and in full communication with Li Hung Chang, Russia suddenly put forward her .evacuation proposal.\\ Advices

miners\u2019 strike, Mr.Charles Charland, who received the contrect for coal for the police department, has refused to deliver the coal: The Police Committee discussed the matter yesterday, and it was decided to serve 2 notarial protest upon him to the effects that if be did not deliver the coal in twenty- four hours he would be held respon- gible for damages.This course was thought to be necessary, as all the stations now need coal, There was also a question argued of pos- sible action of damages from prisoners, who might claim their health bad bee RUSSIAN DUPLICITY._- undermined by the cold weather, and by dempness in the cells, The drill instruction question was settled by the appointment of acting Detective Landrieult to the position of instructor.The chairman, Aid.Lebeuf, said he had found that acting Detective Landriault was à capable man.He had taken a couree at the St.Johns Military School, from which he obtained a captain\u2019s certificate.He wae also otherwise qualified.: It was then resolved to promote De- ective Landriault to be a lieutenant with duties of drill inetructor.The committee was able to do this, inasmuch as there is a vacancy now at the Central Station.Ald.Lebeuf drew attention to the fact that while he was absent in Europe several men had been appointed as members of the force.He had found out that the committee did not make the appointments, and he concluded it was the chief of police.But he had no right to do eo.More than that, he found that the men had mot been taken in order, one of them being in the second class, while eev- eral in the firet class had been available.Chief Hughes explained that he always supposed that he had the right to name the men, but, however, he was glad to be \u2018| free of the duty, es it was often disagreeable, and more than that, he had named them et the request of Ald.Chevalier, a member of the committee.The chairman was of the opinion that all these men who had heen appointed should be ignored, and then moved that the second class man be dispensed with, to be replaced by one of the men in the firet class, This was thought to be rather harsh, and after a wordy dispute between the \u2018chairman and Ald.Chevalier, the appointments of all three of the men were confirmed.There being another vacancy, the first class man who was passed by was taken on, BOARD OF

received from the Hon.Mr.Dobefl, with regard to need for the establishment of an inspection of 4 deck loads, which draft was, after com- sideration, approved for communication to that minister.The draft pointed out that such an inspection had been for many years past in force at this port, through the port warden\u2019s office, and that the ministers\u2019 views that such Inspection should be general, was heartily endorsed by the council.On behalf of the same committee Mr.Miles made a report concerning the discriminating rates of marine insurance from this port, referred to the committee in May last.The committee had endeavored to obtain from the marine underwriters statistics of the amouht of losses on the St.Lawrence route, but the information had not been forthcoming, and, therefore, the committee was unable to compare as à desired amount of the losses with the am of premiums paid.The committee considered \u2018the question of such magnitude that it recommended the council to submit it to the government with a request for investigation thereinto.The council expressed ite acknowledgment for the attention of the committee to the matter, and approved the suggestion made.The committee was empowered to draw up a report embodying all information available.A letter had been received from the Canadian Manufacturer's Association offering to lend its heartiest support to any step the council might take towards removing the discrimination that is being enforced by marine insurance.companies upon the carriage of freight from Canadian ports.The Association of Grain Shippers at Rotterdam had communicated a eireular letter with regard to a feeling which existed among European purchasers against the through bill of lading in its present form, and said that the time

POSTS AND FOR NEW RAILWAY EQUIPMENT.Washington, Oct.9.\u2014The industrial conditions in South Africa ere considered in some detail in a report dated Aug.17, from Mr.J.G.Stowe, consul-general at Capetown.He says : \u2018During my recent trip through the | Orange River Colony and the Vaal River Colony my attention was called to the destruction of wire fencing.For hundreds of miles the fences are down and twisted eo badly that they cannot be used again.The woodeh posts have all been burned for cooking purposes and vernith, and, aa there is but Little mood often becomes in this country, iron posts must | be substituted.The government must fence anew along the lines of railways, end the farmere in the interior must fence also.Ploughing was in progress, but the ares is limited as compared with former years, and, therefore, no great demand for agricultural implements may be expected, although many have been allowed to rust and go to ruin.The market for cereals and products of the soil will continue to be large.By March, 1801, a renewal of the demand for farming machinery may be looked for.Meat and live etock will continue to be imported.There was only three daye\u2019 eupply of fresh meat in Johannesburg when I left there.Although the reoccupation of Johannesburg by the mining and business population can hardly be expected for at least three months, preparations are being made at the seaports, much machinery and goods are stored, awaiting the time of ehipment, and orders are being placed abroad.The Boers who have returned to their homes are desirous of getting down to work, but several months must elapse before things settle down to a normal basis.The Imperial Government is building railways from Pretoria and Johannes burg to the Orange River Colony border, and engines and cars will be needed.Over one thousand freight cars have bean recently ordered by the Cape Colonial railways.A new railway is being built from Harrismith, in Cape Colony, to connect with the Orange River Colony Railway, so that there will be two competing lines from the seaports in Cape Colony and Natal to Johannesburg, breaking the monopoly of the Nether- lande Railway in the Vaal River Colony, with its 200 percent profit per year.The new railways will provide sidings for all the mines in Johannesburg, those being very much needed.The bridges over streams and culverts have been destroyed, with few exceptions, and temporary structures erected, and deviations of tracks to reach the lower levels were made.As a result, a demand for bridge material, euch as girders, etc., may be expected.Electric and telegraphic materials and supplies will also be wanted.Coal machinery and household and house-building supplies will be needed.The supply of gold having been exhausted, the resumption of mining will bring improvement in every department of trade.New enterprises will epring up.and orders to the value of millions of pounds sterling will be placed in the next two years.The manufacturers of the United States will, with effort, get their share.I found all the banks open in Johannesburg and Pretoria, but, of course, not doing much business.The atores were largely barricaded, and the city looked desolate.In a few months this beautiful city, the greatest gold-mining locality Rh world, rll eommenc ea Per era.little damage \u2018 to pro- porty.The

State of Michigan was all that could be desired.He made six- \u2018teen addresses from first to last and all but one of the meetings were held in the open air.The tour was under tre m.nagement of the
