address reads as follows:\u2014 \u2018Ald.Frank J.Hart,\u2014At a meeting of the electors of the West ward, we were instructed to say to you that it is with extreme regret that they learn your determination not to accept re election to the City Council, ukd tu put on record their gratitude for the independent, consistent, honest, and able service you have rendered as their representative during your term of of fice.We are, sir, yours respecttully, George A.Drummond, R.B.Angus, E.S.Clouston, James Crathern, Richard White, Hugh Graham, Cassils, A.¥.Gault, H.Stikeman.The address will be handed over to the family of deceased.John seorge Hague, and STILL CONFERRING.The committee which represents the C.P.R.trackmen and the C.P.R.authorities are still in conference.Neither party is willing to talk, but the C.P.R.officials say that there is not the least fear of any trouble.The conferences have so far been amicable in tone and manner, and there will be a satisfactory result.Concessions will probably be made on both sides.The men, for their part, generally make large demands, which the company is unable to =atisfy.After discussion, a way is found out of the deadlock, and compromise settles the difficulty.AN ECHO OF THE ROYAL VISIT.The Mayor this morning received a letter from the Under Secretary of State at Ottawa enclosing copies of the Prince ot

OF THEIR BRUSH WITH THE ENEMY.Mr.W.R.Eakin, of Messrs.McLean, Kennedy & Co., has just received a letter from his brother, Trooper J.I.Eakin, who is a member of D squadron, 2nd Canadian, Mounted Rifles.The writer states that the \u2018Manhattan\u2019 disembarked her troops at Durban on Tuesday, Feb.14, and they immediately proceeded by four special trains to Newcastle and cavhped about two miles outside of that glsce on a hill called ° Kitchener's Kopje; which is a large tlat-topped hill surrohnd- ed by a range of higher hills all bfist- ling with forts and guns for the defence of the camn.He describesithe trip from Durban to Newcastle as grand, TROOPER J.I.EAKIN.and says that Natal may well be called the garden of South Africa.A few days after arrival at Newcastle a hundred and fifty men of D squadron were sent on foot to reinforce the garrison at Botha\u2019s Pass as a force of Boers were reported in that vicinity.They wards returned safely to camp withdal any casualties.The left half of the regiment was inspected by the general commanding the Newcastle district, who complimented Major Merritt on the magnificent body of men under his command; he stated that they would start for the front within two weeks, and promised them lots of fighting.[The eneral also read a telegram from Lord Kitchener saying he was glad to hear they bad arrived safely and hoped that they would take good care of their horses so as to be able to take the field in the shortest possible time.The right half of the regiment, which went out on the Victorian, arrived at Newcastle on Feb.27.and went into quarantine, on account of having three cases of smallpox.Major George W.(Cameron will be in command of the left half, which includes D squadron.Trooper Lakin speaks very highly of the cffi- cers, rations and camp conditions at Newcastle generally.Mrs.C.W.Dease, of 622 St.Urbain street, Montreal, has received some iu- teresting letters from her son, Trooper Robbie Dease, who is also seeing active service with the 2nd Canadian Mount ed Rifles.Writing from Newcastle, Natal, under date of Feb.20, Trooper TROOPER ROBERT DEASE.Dease says: \u2018I have had quite an experience.We did not land at Capetown as expected, but were sent around td Durban to come through Natal.We landed at Durban on Tuesday, and arrived here this morning.We passed by Colenso, Spion Kop, Ladysmith, places we had heard so much about two years ago.We could see.the graves of Lord Roberts\u2019s son from the train at Colenso.There is a big concentrating about 500 yards from here.It contains who .are rather a dull and children, L hi looking lot, mot much brightness had a brush with the enemy and aftéis\u201d camp | about 2,000 people, principally women | their faces, probably on account of the\u2019 | MONTREAL, TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1902.war.We saw the spot where Buller was driven back, when he tried to cross the Tugela.The country around there is one big graveyard.We passed dozens of little cemeteries, where lay, pernaps, from fifty to a hundred oflicers and men, buried near where they fell.Nu- tal is a beautiful country, being one ot the finest spots in South Atrica.A great deal of fruit is grown here of every description.When we landed at Durban the boys bought pine-apples by the score, and now, it you show them a pine-apple, they would not get up to get it.I know that 1 would not.We came up from Durban in third class cars (Jnglish style) ten to a compartment, which was rather crowded tor a comfortable sleep.We were two mghts on the train, and were rather tired when we got there, and then had to march about six miles, leading our horses to camp.It was rather a long way, so I put everything that I could on my horse.We had to carry tifiy rounds of ammunition in our bandoliers and a hundred in the pouch, besides our haversacks and rifles.It was about 110 in the sun and we had no shelter the whole way to camp.We were about three hours in Ladysmith, and it is about as dead a town as one could find in the world.The sun is so hot here that we have to wear our big hats ali the time during the day.An order has just come in that we have to go out about fifteen miles to reinforce some British troops out there.We do not know where we are going or when we will get back.\u2019 IN ACTION.Writing again on Feb.27, Trooper Dease says: \u2018We Have been up the country for a few days\u2019 duty m the trenches.We started in a rainstorm, and it kept up all night, and, of course, we bad to sleep in wet clothes and mn wet blankets all night.It was rather a miserable time.Next morning we were up before daylight and moved off just as the first sfreaks of dawn appeared.We arrived at Botha\u2019s Pass, where we stopped for a few hours.Then about half-past one we started for the trenches we were to hold, the British were driving.the Boers down to the block-bouse line, and we were holding the trenches between the block houses.The trench I was in was the one farthest away from the camp, about twenty- four miles altogether, and supposed to be the most dangerous place if the Boers.tried to break through.The first: night we did not see anything, but on Sunday night we saw three Boers trying to break the line.Of course, we gave as many bullets as could be fired while they were in sight.I fired about fifteen rounds, in as many seconds, but am sorry to say did not hit anything, but then I could not see the foresight of my rifle, the night was so dark.It wae an easily earned bar and star.The detachment that went out are entitled.to the Orange River bar and the Colt- onial star.Things are rather quiet in \u2018camp here.In fact we get less news here im camp than you would get at tome.The news goes home first, before we get it and then comes back here.The rainy season is now on and sometimes it is pretty cold and wet at night, but still the experience is worth having.The country is a beautiful one, something like Canada in the summer, only it is rather cold at night.In a month or so we will be having frost at night, when our horse blankets will be very useful.We have two blankets.one to sleep in and one to go under the saddle, but we will be using the two to sleep with at night\u201d \u2014\u2014 ENGAGEMENTS KEEP HIM AT HOME.London, April 1.\u2014The engagements of the Bishop of London, the Right, Rev.Arthur Ingram, have compelled him

fifteen cents, but the contractors bave refused them request.A number of the men were discharged by their employers yesterday and the others left work thw morning.Up to the present the indxations point to a strike by the members of the Halifax \u2019Longshoremen's Union to-mor- row and it is not yet definitely known whether or not non-comphance witn the new schedule of the \u2019Tongshoremen wal lead to any sympathetic etriking in oth er branches.If the strike is finally de- oided upon at this evening's meeting of the \u2019Longshoremen's Union over six hundred men will be affected.Some weeks ago the union drew up e schedule and submitted it to the steamship agents and master stevedores, notifying them that the scale would go inw effect on Wednesday next.Some of the steamship agents met together this morning and discussed the situation and they decided that the conditions would not warrant their acceding to the demands.Yesterday a committee of the union interviewed the steamship agents to ascertain whether or not the demands would be granted.The steamship agents treated them most courteously and some discussed the situation with them, but none would promise to grant the scale of wages asked for.One prominent agent told them plainly that the condition of freights at the present moment would not allow giving the increased wages.Nearly all the steamship agents expressed themselves as willing to do what they could if the freight rates would allow of it.One agent said he had information to the effect that he could bring a gang of men from Newfoundland who would work for fifteen cents per hour and could be brought here in pretty quick time.He had a lot of unused mattresses in one of his stores and could auanter the Newfoundland men there.Other agents had suggested that such men could be utilized on their steamers in case of a strike and thus take the places of the outsiders.Bay City, M#h, April 1.\u2014The.official notice for Michigan coal nrinens to quit work

- That the milling industry in Manitoba wheat jis steadily assuming larger proportions, and that there is good reason io 100 for an Immediate expansion of the dead meat end kindred trade, both in Manitoba and the North-West Territories, the rxist- ence and development of which are dependent upon transportation facilities therefrom throughout the whole year being as favorable as roms corresponding points In the United States.\u2019 WANTS BETTER FACILITIES.That capital is now being largely invest- el An industries in Canada, east of the lakes, which cal for the immediate carrying of irom, copper and other ores from the Lake Superlor distriet; That the facilities .for transporting the above-menttoned products, both by land and by water are greatly inadequate, and are not being enlargéd in proportion to \u2018the growth of the country; \u201cThat in order to compete successfully in our north-western matkets with western United States manufacturers of heavy and 1 bulky goods, the manufecturers in eastern Ceneda of similar goods are in need of greater competition in west-bound {freight trafic, there: Now existing a coñsiderable discrimination in favor of United States dietributing points: | _ That the tacmers and miners of the western United Stites enjoy an advaftake.over thé farmers apd miners of north-western Cénada, inasmich as they have at\u2019 thelr disposnl numerous competi railways and a \u2018large flent of United States vessels, ply- States trans- ing.not merely, to the United = portation ports, but also using, on.equal terms with our people, our great St.Law- mms = LAWS DEFECTIVE.~ rence caval syste: : COASTING I That owing to ths coasting.lqws now In | farce in Canada, Unitéd_ States boitoms ay be employed in the Canadian business, for the carrying of cargoes to the United ose: Canadian shippers who are usable to ob- tdin freight on Canadian vessels, to -dis- criminate agalnet the Canadian railways east of the great lakes, and also against \u2018the vSt.Lawrenée canal route, which has | cost our people so many millions of dal- lars: .That.the shortage ino trans tion faci- verting of 8 very large.proportion of our north-wes \u2018freight (amounting In wheat- alone to 70: pércent of the surplus crop), to Duluth, alo and other United States channels, to the serious detriment of our own peris, \u2018end\u2019 consequent loss to Canadians \u2018of the \u2018many benefits and advantages intdental to tho.handling of such traffic;

Edwards presiding, in the unavoidable absence of the chairman, Mrs.Waycott.The following officers were nominated for \u2018the ensuing year: Chairman, Mrs.Way- cott; secretary, Mrs.Dawson; third director, Mrs.N.C.Smillie.A programme for next season\u2019s course of study was k adopted.Mies Una Dean then read a thoughtful paper on the children of criminals.How to deal wilh such children, she seid, was one of the most important of social questions, as their wise treatmedt affects the solution of other social problems.\u2018The walfs and strays had a peculiar claim on our help and sympathy; they were unable to raise themselves, and were dependent on others for their betterment.The speaker treated the subject under three heads\u2014the extent of child crime, its causes, and treatment, past and pres-, ent.\u2018Lhe number of children committed to prison now was not more than one- third of what it Was thirty years ago.Owing, however, to the various philanthropic agencies dealing with delinquent children, and to the fact that juvenile offenders were not.now sentenced to prison on\u2019 the mame occasions as formerly, it wag difficult to arrive at a conclusion whether the tendency was up or down.Among the causes, were concentration of population, cupidity, mental - inéom- petence, homelessness, lack of £ensi- bility due to brutal treatment, the example of their elders, etc.The only effective treatment was in placing \u2018the children with a tendency to crime \u2018in the midst of wholesome and corrective surroundings.France about the middle of Jast/ century was the first to pase special laws relating to juvenile delinquents, and England followed four years later.Among \u2018the educational and reclamatory metho were reform and industrial £chools, voluntary institutions and rri- | vate homes, The chief method pursued in Australia since 1874 was by placing dependent and delinquent children in foster homes, Michigan had staté schools capable of receiving 200 or 300 children pending their being taken into private omes.In New York State the \u2018George Junior Republic\u2019 had been found successful; Ontario had its Children\u2019s Act, with some excellent clauses.In this \u2018province as yet the work of child saving seemed to be in the hands of the chari- ies.: : Mrs.James Reid \u2018contributed a short paper on heredity as a tremendous factor in the determination of conduct and character.She was followed by Miss Eglaugh, who spoke on the influence of environment, and pointed out how crimi- { nal tendencies might be lessened by economic improvements.e valuable suggestions were made as to measures which, by removing the temptation to certain kinds of crime, and by improvin, the conditions of the elasses from Which criminals\u2019 are reinforced, have reduced and continue to reduce crime, Miss Watt spoke of what the parks\u2019 and Playgrounds Aseociation is desirous of doing in the city.Besides putting in order some public aygrounds, it = desired to, establish outdoor vacation schools, perhaps in some of the.school yards, where children would.be under.supervision and kept from deteriorating during the long vacation.\u201d Nature study, talks on pets, on botany, etc, could De gemes and.sand: TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1902.\u2018 3 + COMMERCIAL \u2014 WITNEZ88 Or.| Apr LL 1000 À GRAIN\u2014Wiheat, No.1 Northern, et Sic;

and \u2018now an educated young Galician (and \u2018there are mary such to be found among the forty thousamd foreigners -in the west) writes his criticism of his merciless critics.These Canadians,\u2019 he says, \u2018are a strange people ; a large number of them are densely ignorant, narrow and conceited to .Poor things! To them a \u201cGalatian\u201d (why don\u2019t they learn geography) means a sort of ;nora leper, an ignorant outcast, a hoor.creature in a sheepskin coat and top boots, who knows rothing and is not worth knowing.Granted that the bulk of our immigrants are of the poorest and most ignorant of our countrymen; but you might as well judge of the Canadian people by the Manitoba farmer's scm, whose ideal of cleyerness is good lorse- manship, and whose idea of a large city is Winnipeg.| I have seen a few men and things prior .to- being forced by destiny to settle 4m.Canada; and \u2018there are.other Galicians in Manitoba to-day who know more than the average Canadian ever; dreamed of.Stran mixture, the Canadian!

as.against the Franco- Russian alliance, and assures the preservation of existing conditions, which means peace.Since the triple alliance was first formed, a new element of unknown proportions and possibilities has come into play.In vastness and complexity the industrial problem which the nations are now facing dwarfs the military question which heretofore was of the first consideration.The great inerease in population in Germany, Aus- tria-Hungary and Italy makes this pro- ing no surplus population .and Russia having ample room for expansion in Sibenia.Nor is it likely that these conditions, which mark the great economical difference between the countries ot the triple and those of the dual alliance, will be alleviated as time advances.The pressure of population on the means of subsistence is intense in Italy, and is fast becoming equally so in Germany and Austria.This pressure may lead to war, as the Italian attitude with regard to Tripoli implies, or it may compel resort to some method of relieving the pressure.Among the most obvious of these are the liberation of commerce, the reduction of armaments, a radical change in the system\u2018 of land tenure and emigration on a comprehensive plan.The latter will, we may be The breaking up of great estates and their distribution among small peasant proprietors may only be brought about by a revolution, as in France.But the change is sure to come ultimately, and it has proved in-France a solution of the problem of over-population.Responsibility begets thrift, and thrift is the greatest of all checks on reckless reproduction.From a political standpoint the Balkan situation is the strongest argument for the renewal of the triple alliance.As long as the Turk remains\u2019 in Europe, the question of the reversion of his dominions will necessitate alh- ances to prevent his nearest and most powerful neighbor from taking possession.In that direction the tripie alliance has the moral support of Great Britain, while to the allies it is vitai that Russia shall not establish her sovereignty on the Bosphorus., Northern Messenger;

omical, and it is believed by those who! have imposed the \u2018conditions that ulfr mately they will bring about a demand for annexation.Advocates of - annexation, in fact, régard the manner\u2018 which Cuba has been managed since the.expulsion of the -Spaniards as \u2018adroitly\u2019 designed to bring about snnexation.By\u2019 methods, against which the Cubads who wanted complete independence, protest- | ed, the election of Senor Thomas Estrada Palmas was secured.He.will be inaugurated as President on May 20, and \u2018is expected to surround himself | with a Cabinet in eympathy with his views and with those of the rul'ng powers at Washington.It is said of him that even with a radical independ-\u2019 ence majority in the Cuban Congress, he will be able, with \u2018such assistance, to steer a course towards ultimate and complete union with the United States.The difficulties the new government must encounter, and the success.of special interests at Washington, in preventing the application of a liberal commercial policy towards the islands, wiil, it is fondly imagined by the compuision- ists, work to the same end.The United States Congress, by placing Cuba in a position where \u2018prosperity and consequent contentment\u2019 are impossible, short of an economical miracle, by reason of exclusion from her natural market while fencing her about against the\u201d rest of the world, has left the Cubans | with no choice save industrial stagnation or annexation, complete .independence having been irrevocably refused.: These things considered it is not surprising to learn that the Cubans not showing much enthusiasm over the coming inauguration of the republic.But as the industries of the island are rapidly and largely passing into the hands of United States citizens, thera may be depended on to fight the batile for better terms in Washington, The whole process is a Wrong one for gain ing the end.Frank conquest, as m \u2018the case of Puerto Rico, would have been better.The union, if it does take\u2019 place, will be a marriage of compulsion, not of love, and we all have some idea \u2018what that means, especially where race and religion differ.+ mme PATRIOTIC MILLIONS.Mr.Rhodes, with his one idea of changing an insular kingdom with continental dependencies into a solid empire, could not have done better than to leave his millions to elementary education everywhere throughout the King\u2019s domains.Quite apart from patriotism, it would have been hard to find a better use fer.money.It is one that has been burned into Mr.Rhodes by .the conditions cf South Africa.If millions have to be.disposed of by the stroke of à pen, how: could a better.channel fur spending them- \u201cbe indicated?If we ask for a solution of the Boer problem nine people out of ten, after a little discussion of it, would probably settle down to the conclusion\u2019 that for its successful-solution one-school - teacher is worth a dozen suldiers, and\u2019 will pass.from.the subject with.the undeniable, if not immediately practical, remark that if the imperial authorities; instead of sending ome school teacher for a \u2018thousand soldiers, were to send as many school teachers ae they are sending soldiers, they would get far more for.their money.The very same thing forces itself on the mind when the Kaffir.problem comes up.The Kaffirs have always done all the work of the Boers.That their condition has been practically one of enforced servitude is proved by the fact that the Iaffirs of British territory cannot be got to work for wages except in the most fitful way, and the\u2019 managers of mines import their labor in gangs from Portuguese territory.The reason for \u2018this is that the Kaflirs have no wants.Their women\u201d do work enough - to keep them in mealies, and they can at any time\u2018earn enough in a.few days to furnish meaps'to buy a wife or any luxury of excitement they may crave.The.smallness of their wants and ambitions is their bane.If they were educated their aspirations would be greater, and they would be in consequence \u2018more in need of the rewards of labor.By: education, \u201cthen; these two antagonistic and disturbing elements in any future South African polity.would not only be themselves uplifted: into a higher plane, but would be rendered far less foreign and dangerous.° Race prejudices, like all prejudices, are\u2019 always stronger with the' ignorant th: \u2018with the cultured.The more people | THE MONTREAL are |' n | Nimrod.\u2018Mnbw the .more they have in common, and \u2018the less foreign and repulsive they \u2018are: to each other.Differences of.lan- \u2018gage are always a very disjunctive force.\"Péaple naturally think each other foreign when they cannot understand each other.The French and Anglo-Saxon peoples of _Nokth America so look on each other without adequate reason.The same Gauls or Celts inhabited France and Brit- aint in Caesar's: time.The shore opposite Great Britain is still called.Britain Jby:the French and Brittany by the English, The same Teutonic tribes overran both countries.The British Norseman was the French Norman.It happened to \u2018be the Angles who gave England its\u2019 \u2018name, and the Norsemen who gave the name to Normandy, while the French got their« name- .from the Franks, anotber Teutonic people, who entered Gaul, further south.The chief difference between the French and \u2018nglish is that Gaul having.been more thoroughly conquered than Britain, ac- Fquired and retained the Letin language, while the Angles have, for.the - most -peët, retained their own.The barrier \u2018being language what we want in Can- \"The French in Canada learn\u2019 English pretty well, the - English learn French hardly at all, and are in conse- Qitenté stupidly supercilious towaïds\u201d it.spent' in-acquiring Latin had been spent.\"fn giving themr'a working-knowledge\" of French;

so that her renunciation of the sport seems to mean that here, at any tate, women are not going to contest with men for privileges.She says: \u2018Many a keen sportsman will acknowledge that a feeling of self-reproach has at times come over him as he stood by the dying victim of hie skill.I know that it hae confronted me many and many à time.I have bent over my fallen game and seen the beautiful eye of the deer grow dim.I have ended with the sharp, yet merciful knife, the dying sufferings of creatures that had never harmed me, I, too, have witnessed the angry, defant glare of the wild beast\u2019s fading sight as death deprived him of the power to wreak his vengeance on the human being that bad taken his free life.The memory of thoge ecenes brings no pleasure to my mind.On the contrary, it haunts me with a cruel repr , and I fain would that I had pever done those deeds of skill\u2014and cruelty.\u2019 \u2014New York \u2018Sun\u2019 OSTRICH VANITY rT DROVE \u2018MARTHA\u2019 TO TIE HER NECK IN A HARD KNOT.By inadvertently tying her neck in a hard knot yesterday, Martha, an ostrich in the menagerie in Central Park, convinced visitors that she » a zontor- tionist of no mean ability.She nearly choked to death before ehe extricated \u2018| herself from her embarrassing position, which was due to her desire to obtain a side view of her feathers, and for the rest of the dey was content to stand quietly in a corner of her stall in the deer house.Though her feat of yesterday caused wonderment and surprise, she has other claims to recognition as a remarkable bird.When, with her mate, Royal, she arrived at the menagerie two years ago, ehe looked thin and emaciated.He looked unhealthy, too.The secret of their chronic indisposition was that both \u201cwere extremely fond of eating lead paueils and hiclkory-nut shells.Visitors who were aware of the binds\u2019 taste took these anticles to the menagerie.As a\u2019 result, despite the attempts of the keëy- ers: to protect their charges, Royal become thinner and thinner, and fnally ed.Many precautions were taken to keep in good health.After the death -of her mate she seemed to lose interest m-afl things, and even refused to eat.Finally William Snyder, a keeper, be- if it \u2018can be at all successfully applied | 820 to feed her on raw beef and bread Jia.place of dandelions and grass, which.hed formerly been given her as ness for all food except raw \u201cbeef and bread, and developed into a plump, fine- looking ostrich.\"As she ] to improve in health new feathers grew upon her back, and of these she was very proud.She scem- od never tired of looking at herself all points of viéw, and this, with the aid of her Jong neck, she was able \u2018to do easily.Vesterday, however, she made vain attempts to obtain a glimpse of a ibright colored feather which was growing under her wing.Despite all her attempts she did not succeed and\u2019 during her struggles and squirming her neck became tied in a knot.\u2018Her hysterical screams and the noise she made by running about her cage, startled those in the deer house, and they ran to her aid.However, a few nrmufes after they had ammived in fron\u2018 of her stall Martha succeeded in untying the knot.Faint and gasping for breath she sank to the floor.She did not injure herself, and it is thought that the fright which she received will have a | salutary effect upon her desire to gratiïy \u2018her vanity.\u2014 CONCENTRATION CAMPS.CONDITION OF THE INMATES OF THOSE IN THE TRANSVAAL, All the camps are organized on similar principles.A large number of terits are erected on the laid-out lines of a little town.There are main streets and s'de streets and squares, there are schools and hospitals, shops, churches, work-rooms, soup kitchens ; and to every block -or street of houses a certain proportion of wash-houses, public bathrooms, etc., are allotted.In all camps food rations, fuel, soap, necessary clothing, working materials, boots, ete, are provided \u2018at public expense; the schools are free and the churches are, of course, df the religion of the occupants of the camp.© Some of the camps, owing to peculiarities of situation, climate, water \u2018supply, and still more.specially to the character and degree.of civilization of the majority of the occupants, are more successful than others.It is only.necessary to imagine the civil population of London turned out,into camps, the in- \u2018habitants of Belgravia in ome and the inhabitants of Whitechapel in another.and it will be clear to any understanding that, though the two camps should have started in absolutely equal material con- \u2018ditions, there would before many months had passed be a marked difference between them.So it is in the Orange River and Transvaal.Some camps are infinitely cleaner, more wholesome, and nicer than others, but from the general system one_clear and strong impression remains.It is that the humane effort made-for the first time in the history.of war to shield the women and children of an enemy from unnecessary suffering will not be without its very great and good.result.The immediate.effect of such an effort in\u2019 relieving the enemy of his impedimenta and lenving him free to fight us without those intimate cares which must of necessity play a large part in deter- {mining the cessation of hostilities has ! with \u2018the work in band, | Tvzspay, ArPrir, 1, 1902, \u2014 been evident enough.It has disposed many even of those who were proud of the action from à national point of view, and glad that it should be-done; £o say, \u2018It is magnificent, but it-is not war\u201d Here, on the spot, one realizes.No, it\u2019s not war, but it is something better; it is permanent peace.lt has, perhaps, rolonged the struggle for a few months, ut it has laid seeds the fruit of which, I think all those who have patiently observed the system at work will venture to predict, will be reaped through many generations.The congregation of the whole young population of the state at an impressionable age under British influence has given a unique opportuntiy, such an opportunty as could occur but once in the life of a people, for bringing the two races together.The opportunity has been admirably used.No one can pass through the camps and see the happy faces of the thousands of children who cluster round the schools and soup kitchens, nor listen to the confidence with which they grumble out their little grumbles, without realizing the state of harmony which exists between them and the English authorities who are governing them.The rate of mor- ity remains, it is admitted, somewhat bafflingly high, but it is chiefly among very young children.The refugees are in frankest consultation with the British authorities on the \u2018subject, and anything that can be done to lessen \u2018the evil is being done.Here in the Bloemfontein camp the Boer mothers with whom 1 have been able to discuss the matter give as the most probable reason the violent changes of temperature which have to be endured in tent life, where the midday: sun is overpoweringly hot and the nights at some seasons sharply cold.They say that the babies cannot bear the alteration, and the tendency to pneumonia predisposes them to every other form of illness.It is intended this year, before the winter comes om, to bouse all refugees in portable wooden huts which.will take the place of tents in the camps.Of these I shall have more to say later on.Some few refugees in the Bloemfontein camp attribute the high rate of mortality to an insufficient supply of fresh vegetables.These are difficult to obtain in sufficient quantity and are very costly, but, on a Boer suggestion, it 18 now proposed to supplement the existing ration with tresh \u2018mealies.\u2019 ol Nothing can be more friendly than the irit in which suggestions for the amelioration of camp life are made and re- ccived.The ladies of Bloemfontein devote a good deal.of their time to.visiting the camp, and little voluntary classes of lacemaking, etc., are formed among the refugees.But the supreme instrument of unconscious reconciliation is the system of frée education admirably organized and indefatigably carried out under the supervision of Mr.Sargant, the very able director of Public Education for the two colonies.Mr.Sargant has devoted himself with whole-hearted enthusiasm to the work.He began with abodt a hundred teachers for the camp schools.He has now two hundred.efore the end of the year he hopes to.add another hundred to his staff.Some of these teachers are Dutch ; the latest importations are chiefly Scotch.The next batch will be English, Scotch and colonial.In every camp there kre schools in prepor- tion to the number: of: child .refugees Instruction is given in English, and- in.some of the lower classes an important part of the work.consists in teaching the children to speak English.I was present at a lesson of this sort, which consisted in putting up a picture on an easel in front of a large class.It happened to be a farmyard picture, and the eager-eyed class, all of very small children, was asked if any one could say what he saw.Presently a chuby hand went up from ome of the benches and a confident little voice piped out the single word \u2018cow.\u2019 His pronunciation was corrected; and the next minute the whole class was shouting in unison, \u2018I see a cow.\u201d [Then a rival aspirant for fame discovered \u2018 two cows.\u201d Another eagerly, outstripped him with \u2018two cows in the en The fun grew fast and farious, and the shout in unison as I passed on had reached to something like the length of a response in the Psalms.Phere was no doubting the enjoyment of the children.The keenness of the upper classes, which receive tuition \u2018up to the level of the highest standard at home, is as great as that of the lower ; and: the statistical results given by the educational reports bear out fully.the impression gained by ocular demonstration.There \u2018are actually in the camps keenly profiting by the opportunities of English education, a larger number of children than ever figured before the war on the Dutch school rolls.I have not before me the total numbers for the two colonies combined, but for the Orange River Colony alone the number now attending the camp schools\u2014and attending with an unusually high average of regularity\u2014is about 11,500 children, whereas the greatest number on the Dutch school rolls before the war was 9,500.In other words, the entire young opulation of the colony is for the time eing under English tuition.Mr.Sar- gant, it must be understood, is Director of Public Education for both colonies, and all that has been said applies in system to the two, though 1 have personally as yet only seen the methods in application in the Orange River Colony.\u2014 \u2014Bloemfonteir Correspondence of the London \u2018Times\u2019 THE CURIOUS ENGLISH SOLDIER.(The Lineman, \u2018in \u201cThe Spectator.\u2019) What.label, for instance, shall we put on the esprit which permits 4 line of soldiers advancing under a devastating fire to yell with laughter and delight and throw their helmets at a hire springing up before them, as a row of beaters dod in a covert.Forgotten the enemy and the terrible position ahead, forgotten friends falling alongside, or lying in ones and twos over the course behind, remembered only the little furry fugitive bobbing like a brown ball amid tie spits of dust of the bullets, pursued by a sten: torian roar as kindly as the \"Run, puss!\u2019 of the gentle old sportsman at Altcar !
