have caught the bear, but I must insist that the Boers, hy their own action, have created a clean sheet upon which we can write what we please; and 1 feel convinced that our loyal fellow subjects in Cape Colony and Natal would regard no solution as durable, which did not provide, beyond a shadow of a doubt, for the supremacy of the British flag\u2014the only guarantee of settled peace, and the only security for the Just treatment of all the races of Soutb Africa.\u201d PRAISED RY THE PRESS.Mr.Chamberlain's speech is widely commented upon by the newspapers this morning, and all of them, except the few pro- Boer papers.The Times says: \u201cThough there is no longer any necessity for vindicating the policy of the Imperial (sovernment in South Africa on the platform, Mr.Chamberlain's straight forward speech at Leicester in useful and impressive from more than one point of view.Mr.Chamberlain rightly gauges the feeling and opinion of his countrymen when he says that whatever the cost may be this attack upon our impenal policy had to be resisted and repelled.We must make it certain in future that the British flag shall wave unchallenged in South Africa.\u201d MR.BALFOUR CRITICISED.(Special to the Star.) LONDON, November 30.\u2014Mr.Balfour's speech at Dewsbery seems to have pleased neither friends nor enemies.The radical papers find fault with its denunciations of the Boers, as likely to inflame passions in Routh Africa, while the daily mail ac Mr.Balfour of inconclusivenessBecausé he has not clearly stated that the Transvaal and the Orange Free State will be annexed at the close of the war.It is not doubted now that the Imperialist party will be sat- 1stied at nothing short of annexation.LETTERS FROM LADYSMITH.An Ottawa Boy in the Gloucester Regiment Writes Home.> EXPECTED TO EAT CHRISTMAS DINNER IN PRETORIA, NOW A PRISONER THERE.OTTAWA, November 30.\u2014Lance Corp.Sam Hague, of the First Gloucester Regiment, bas written to his father, Mr.John Hague, of 139 Henderson avenue.from Ladysmith.Lance Corp.Hague left Ot- taw a few years ago and is supposed to be amoung the captured members of the Gloucester Regiment who are now at Pretoria.The soldier's letter is as follows: Camp near Ladysmith, October 21st, 1890.I had hardly finished by last letter before we got orders to shift from where we were.so | had to keep it till the next day, and send it down with a party of ours who were going on escort to Ladysmith, and I haven't seen the corporal since, so I don\u2019t know whether he got it away or not.We struck camp that might and went on outpost duty.and our iment han been on it ever mince, findin | the outposts round the town of Ladysmith.We are sometimes 0 miles away and at others close to the town, but till to-day have not been in the town.Our company has been out for 3 davs, but we gut relieved to-day end same into camp to-night.We, know very fiche of what w going on except what we actually see.THE FIGHT AT GLENCOE.There was a nice little engagement near Glencoe yesterday.Unfortunately thé Glou- centers did not get a chance.We expect to move up very soon.The Dubline and K.R.R.'s distinguished themselves yesterday.We are doing all the hard work and getting none of the honour, but hope our turn will come soon.\u2018The transport is being looked after well in this campaign so far.We have never had to wait for anything yet.1 think 1t 18 going to be a chase with the Boers this time.We expect to have our Christmas dinner in Pretoria.And the Free State will get a lesson, too.The Boers have been firing on Red Cross parties and hospital trans.It is also re- rted that they have shot their prisoners \u2018hey haven't bad many\u2014only small parties that they bave captured.I think there will be a general advance when our troops get concentrated here.We are only waiting for sone more to come ue ANOTHER LATER.Mr.e received a letter a few days before dated Ladysmith, October 14, in which his son says: LADYSMITH, October 14.\u2014We got to Durban on the 12th and came here imme: diately.We are in camp about two miles from the town and some 20 miles from the border.Our regiment arrived this morning.There are about 8,000 troops here.About 6,000 went out vesterday, but only saw small parties of Boers some distance away.hg is a fine country and the camp is in a splendid place.We are busy getting up stores of ammunition.We brought ap about 200,000 rounds this morning for our battalion.A lot more troops are expected to arrive shortly.The wdian brigade will consist of ours, Gordous.Devons and Rifles.EA MAJOR RUTHERFORD\u2019S LUCK.(Special to the Star.)

\u201cThat Mr.McLennan's position in the business world was one of exceptional dis tinction; on those subjects connected with thosc branches of trade nnd industry with which his experience brought him into constant association, he was an authority second tu none; with the bistory.character and needs of the transportalion facilities of the country, especially those connected with the St.Lawrence route, he was jnti- mately acquainted, and he had given careful study to all questiona thereto related; \u201cThat not only was Mr.Mclennan an able man, but be was, like most successful men, of untiring energy and industry.He held high positions in the governing bodjes of several of our,lcading financial and industrial institutions, hin services in connection with education generally, and McGill University in particular, being well known;

North American Review, which will be pul blished today.Bi Thomas has this y of -bis recollections of America: \u201cI went to America with high hopes of winning the cup, and with the expectation of a friendly reception.Ny hopes have heen disuppointed, but my expectations have been far exceeded.Never can I forget the thousand and one acts of good-will shown mie during my stay in American waters, nor the multitude of friendly faces that watched my departure from her shores.I did not win the cup, but 1 did secure a much better token \u2014 that of the abiding brotherhood of our two peoples.\u201cIt was my good fortune to be present at the welcome given to Admiral Dewey, and to have a place in that wonderful procession, for which the two Jubilee processions in London had only partially prepared me, 80 that I had before me this great object lesson of America\u2019y fervept patriotism OF AMERICA'S GENEROSITY of good feeling toward myself as the representative .of another country.It was impossible not to be impressed by the one sentiment and the other, and doubly so by their existence in harmony together.\u201cThe Shamrock bore her name with a purpose, yet she had no warmer wishers for her success in Ireland than she had in England, in Scotland, or in Wales.She had the colonies, too, to wish her good- luck.She rode triumphantly over any seas dividing our own peoples; she gave us solidarity at home.Perhaps the uses of the race did not end wholly with this agreeable example of unity between the three Kingdoms, or with the amity it exhibited between England and America.the Book of Job had to be written again, a windless day off Sandy Hook, while two vachts were waiting to pit against each other their vast expanse of sail, might serve the purpose of the allegory.That was a school of patience in which it is something to have graduated, as did we who planned the race, and as did those who assembled to see it.\u201cI have really nothing to add, » except one more grateful acknowledgment of all the pleasure and instruction T derived from the whole episode\u2014a pleasure with so many ramifications that the failure to lift the | coveted cup seemed

of the common run to give a testimonial of this sort,but the value of your remedy is so evident that I, for once, have waived professional considerations and send this, hoping it may be received in the same spirit in which it is wriften.There is an epidemic of colds in this city.You mee it in the streets, in the shops, at church, everywhere, Very likely you take it home with you, and then wonder when and where you sat in a draught.Act promptly and don't wait till you get Pneumonia, or Bronchitis, or Consumption.The minute you feel the least symptoms of cold anywhere, take Dr, Shiloh\u2019s Consumption Cure.It will cure the stuffed up feeling, the sneeze, the cough in one night.You musn't think it's meant only for consumption because it is called a consumption cure.Just for the single reason that it does cure consumption it is better than anything else for sudden colds and coughs.And there isn't an intelligent mother in the country who doesn't keep it constantly on handfor croup, whooping cough, etc.Another thing\u2014Dr.Shiloh\u2019s Consumption Cure is a preventive as well as a cure.[tis a general tonic for the whole body and so builds up and strengthens it that cold and

as for the pagans they still adore the sun to which they have erected temples, and in whose honour they hold a special dance in the month of July.Thunder :8 also one of their gods, besides a certain indefinite deity who has the greatest influence over all their actions.Kurora borealis is for them the dancing of souls, and they believe in two heavens\u2014ong for Indians, the\u201cother for white men.They are very fond of amusementa, and know a large number of legends.\"They are not easily converted, but, once changed they are staunch he- lievers.Speaking of the good work done by the missionaries in the heat, he «aid (Bat in 1885 the Catholic priests \u2018prevented the rebellion from having fearful resuits.The missionaries were mostly all of French origin, and they received assistance from their mother country.They worked under hard conditions, and their zeal and de- votedness were boundless.\u201cIn return\u201d continued His Grace, \u201cwe only request the liberty to do good, fo teach that eautiful Frene language, which was the first spoken on our shores, to disseminate the Catholic religion, whose rights are imperish- uble in this world, and also the right to remember the past.to love France, as for us France is always the fatherland, the country where the rap of Catholjeism flows with full vim.We have passed through dark hours, but a great calmness took place at the voice of the Holy Pontiff, and we have faith in the future, hoping always to realize the motto: \u201cGest Dei per Francos.\u201d \u2014-_{me.THE INSTITUTE OF SOLFEGGIO.The following officers were elected at a recent meeting of the National Institute of Solfeggio, founded last year by Mr.Edward Meloche: Patrons -\u2014 Ladies\u2019 course \u2014 Madame L.A.Jette, Lady Lacoste, Madame R.Pre fontaine, Gentlemen's course \u2014 His Hanour L.Jette, Lieutenant-Governor of the roving of Quebec;

SHERBROOKE.Que., November 30.\u2014Tt 15 almost impossible to give expression to the full measure of the effect of the meet- week by Hon.Geo.E.Foster.In the words of one of the Eastern Town: ships members of Parliament re nting a Conservative constituency, Never fore in its history has the Conte party felt so buoyant, so confident, or sa eager for the battle to begin.\u201d The impression left by Mr.Foster is sure to be deep and lasting, and the value of it to the Co servative party will be enhanced because of the large number of prominent Liberals who attended every meeting.he gentleman above quoted gives the chief credit for the present confidence among the Conservatives to the magnificent hope and enthusiasm of the wonderful old leader, Sir Charles Tupper, who never acknowledged defeat and who has at last infused into the rank and file of his following something of the feeling that animates himself.Hon.Mr.Foster's tour has been of incalculable value.His speeches have furnished splendid material for the Conservatives, and have at the same time practically silenced Liberal criticism.The Liberal leaders would wise not to undertake to hold meetings in the centres visited by Hon.Mr.Foster, for they are sure if they do so to be as some very embarrassing questions.The halo that enveloped the character of Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been effectively removed and destroyed by the cutting winds of the criticism of the ex- Minister of Finance, and hereafter the ral Premier must face Eastern Townships audiences, at least, as a man merely, his acts subject to the same scrutiny as those of other men and judged by the same standards.ith a St dent n an interview wi ar corresponden yesterday, Mr.A.Moore, MP.for Stan- stead, gave the following reasons why the Conservatives would win at the coming elections: \u2018The party is united as it has not been for years, and confidence and enthusiasm runs high.We will get the full Conservative vote, and that alone will elect us, because it was the disaffected Conservative vote that placed Laurier into power, as the Premier himself acknowledged.We will also get a large Liberal vote from those members of the party, who freely acknowledge that Laurier has disappointed them.Then the temperance vote will be at least divided.Conservative temperance men can find no further excuse for voting for Liberal tem nce candidates after the manner in which they were fooled on the pleb- iecite bill.All these things taken into account,\u201d said Mr.Moore, indicate a great change in public opinion, indicative of a Conservative triumph at the next election.\u201d TWO AUSTRALIAN DEFEATS.The Kingston and Turner Ministries Both in Hot Water.(Special to the Star.)

to begin with, he accepted the Cobden medal from a free trade club, while he was maintaining protectio Then this successor of Papineau, declared b he was British to the core, instead of Canadian firs On the other hand, Mr.Tarte went to France.and was French above all things.Then when a request for a contingent came the Premler announced that he could not send one because the Militia Act did not allow it.and he ran away t hicago.his return he found that public feeling.especially in English speaking provinces, was very strong in favour oe sending a contingent, and he changed De mind again.for power was more Hon.Laurier than what he considered his auty under our £onstitution.Hon.MF\u201d Flynn expressed his pleasure that his first attack on the Laurier Government should be made in the division re- ors h was rejected in Arthabaska, Pand he did not re- oresent their ideas and vacillated on ev- erv Question, oo that they had come to be as m.° THE MANTLE, OF LOYALTY.Hon.Senator Landry made a vigoro attack on the Government for their failure to redeem their romises to the city and district of guet He protested against the action inisters who under the on of cn ot loyaity, were try- ine uce imperial federation, which meant the fusion of \u201csi the colonies lai d be brought ree e autonomy of Canada would disap) , and the constitution for which eir fathers struggled would be destroyed.Our present sition mav be humble.5 but it Ia s are not mixed up International questions, foreign wars, ith e are loyal to England.and the constitution which she has wiven us.He would say more.If to-day a choice wero given the French-Canadians of this province between France and Eng- and as a 80 power, he did not hesitate to say they would ch Bng- land.Before changing our cons tution, however.we must ask ourselves where wa are going and what we are to have in- A Canadian 0 speaks as Sir Wilfrid Laurier did in England is wantin in self- and ought to be as of him- 50 New Pianos on View Every Evening Until 9.80.To enable peo people occupied during the day to inspect the choicest stock of pianos ever shown in Montreal, we will, commencing to-morrow (Friday) evening, our warerooms 0 until 9.30 every evening until New Years.We especially invite people having any idea of ex crane, Fes mg, or purchasing a piano, D: us.No > spared es \u201c say-Nord 1 ™ x Keeping Kid Gloves New I they are worn out there in only one way\u2014 buy a new pair.But if they are only soiled we have ihe temedy.Our methods of cleaning RM gloves are very satisfactody.R.PARKER & CO., asser JOS.VENABLES (Tenor Soloist, Erskine Church,) Is prepared to receive pupils in VOCAL INSTRUCTION.For Terms, etc.Apply nt 278\"4eo4 69 HUTCHISON STREET.EDGAR BROWNING, M.A, (CAMBRIDGE, ENG.)

It took fiotham a considerable time to discover and admit that 1t was not holding its own as a port and that Boston, Montreal, and the gull cities were making heavy inroads upon the freight wtended for f foreign markets which used to be shipped from the West to New York.It was a case of \u201covercontidence\u201d and a false sense of security.But the evidence of arrested de- velupment and relative decline at last came too painful and notorious, and the merchants bestirred themselves and demanded action at the hands of the Legis lature.The commission was created in response to this demand.What the New Yorkers are getting here is not surmise or hearsay, but direct, nent, first-hand information.Cusc which have almost abandoned the metropolis and have been exporting Fasten of bushels of grain via Boston and Montreal, know the reasons for their \u201cdiscrimination.\u201d It 1s (not a question of eren- tials, of railroad injustice to New York, as is imagined and asserted in certain news papers of that city.The trouble is that ew York\u2019\u201d methods have remained unchanged for years, despite the at changes all arouad.The terminal fachities are inadequate and the charges excessive.There is too much transferring and reloading, and every delay means expense, The chief obstacle, however, according to the testimony.is the Erie Canal, which now admits boats of a capacity of not more than ry bushels.Tt needs to be improved so 8 to admit vessels carrying at least 25,000 bushels.\u2018The scandals connected with the Ere Canal improvemens have so discour- 2 ed New Yor usiness men that some the ablest of them oppose all further an- vropriatons for the purpose and virtually recommend the abandonment of the watce way to its fate.If Chicago advice, which will he reinforced by that of other Western centres, is heeded by New York, it will recommend expenditures estimated at $25, 000,000 on cana! work.Even then it cannot expert to monopolize the export rain trade.Competition it is now bound to have, but it ought to keep its fair sbare of the traffic.AMMUNITOIN IN BATTLE.How British Soldiers Have Their Supply of Cartridges Renewed.(London Mail.) If it were not that there is a very excels lent and elaborate system of supplying sol diers with ammunition during the course of a fight it would be almost hopeless to attack any position.Modern cartridges are very heavy things The long bullet, the heavy brass work of the case, and the weight of the wads and powder, all combine to produce an article which, though it is of small compass, is very weighty.Vhén our soldiers are attacking a Boer position, their operations require that each man shall have u large supply of ammunition.This must all the fight progresses.The Boer intrenched » on a hilltop may have the largest supply his ammunition by his side, and he te not weighed down by it as our \u2018soldiers are when storming the position.During a protracted fight the British sol dier is, in most instances, compelled to fire away all the ammunition which he is personally able to carry.An ordinary private carries 100 rounds.Just before an action, when heavy firing \u2018is expected, this 106 rounds is supplemented by fifty more from the battalion reserve of seventy-seven rounds per man.Thus each private advances into battle carrying no less tham 150 pessible dealers of d Whenever a soldier falls or is wounded be is immediately stripped of his amroupi- tion, and it is at once distributed among the men who are still capable of carrying.on the fight e reserve ammunition for each battalion is carried in four carta on, the backs of two pack mules.When an action a imminent, a rary reserve, cal called à a \u201cbrigade reserve,\u201d formed.This consists of two carta taken from to carry.each of the four battalions composing tbe brigade.This special reserve is pl un der an officer selected fer the occasion.Im the event of any of the battalions becom- detached.from the brigade, they 1e re their own carte back again.In addition to the above, there is alwa: with the regular ammunition column rounds fo reach man, and a further supply is carried in the \u201cammunition pack\u201d of 58 reunds per man.Accordin the total amount carried in the field for each infam- try soldier works out at 39 rounds.e men who actually bring up the cartridges to their comradea of the fighting line are selected from each company for their strength and agility.This duty of bringing up supplies of ammunition during the en gagement is a very nous one, and only the most physically fit are able to attempt it.The mulea which accompany a battalion are supposed to get within 500 yards of the men in action, and the carts to withim 1000 yards.A CARD.Mr.John A Grose begs to announce te his friends and patrons that he has amalgamated hin Secret Service business with the well-known Thiel Detective Bervice Company, and that he now holds the position of Assistant General Manager for the company named, and has supervision of the business handled by the company in the Dominion of Canada This company has offices in New York, Chicago, 8t.Louis, Denver, Kansas City, 8t.Paul and Portland, Ore., also in tha ity of Mexico and employs a large staff of skilled operatives, and is prepared to, transact legitimate general detective business for corporations and individuals in all parts of the world.The local office nf the company is in the \u2018Temple buildin Mr.A.C.Johnson being- the Resident fanager.Terephone Main 2165, night service, Uptown 1: carried forward as \u201d Ca «ii 5 ¢ 1 a 1) 08;

LONDON, November 30.\u2014Not a single item of official news has reached here from Routh Africa mince the receipt of the nfR- cial despatches which arrived Wednesday morning, of which, of course, General Lord Methuen's meagre account of the battle at.Modder River forma the able topic of comment in the press and by the public.It is universally assumed that the casual ty list, when it comes, will terribly heavy, the whole tenor of General \u2018loth.uen\u2019s despatch pointing to large British losses ; THE CRITICS ARE PUZZLED.What the critics fail to understand 1s: On what side of the Modder River did the Boers have their position?Some assume that the statements that it was impossible to outflank them must mean that the Boers were on, the north «ide of usly awaited.Th of the casual accepted, in advance we he a the river, but the statement that the action | was commenced br the mounted iniantry and cavalry, as well as the artillery, at 5.3) \"artillery and cavalry a.m., is considered to prove that the Boers must have been south of the river, otherwise the cavalry would not have immediately taken part in the fighting.The fact that General Pole-Curew had the assistance of 300 Sappers in getting 6 small party across the river indicates pon- tooning, or the construction of some other kind of military bridge.As regards the actual results of the battle, the Morning Post's military critic, who, it has been generally proved, has keen fore- might, says: \u201cIt does not seem too much to presume that it was won by the Brit ish, though the despatch refrains scrupulously from referriny to a victory.The enemy was forced #0 \u2018withdraw from his position, which may mean a falling bac of the advance \u2018to the interior lines, or the shandonment of the bridge head defences.\u201d The critic assumes that there was a bridge.and that the Boers at the outset were defending the southern approaches to it.The former ia the more plausible, since General PoleCarew was crossing with the help of Sap .which would negative the hope that che bridge was in the hands of the British.The Sappers were undoubtedly pontooning.R i Complaint is beginning to be heard against the employment of so many sailors for purely soldiers\u2019 work.ro far from the const.The complaint is based on the ground that the navy cannot afford to lose men whom it tales so long to» make and replace.There are also loud complaints that more have not been furnished to General Methuen, It is argued that at the start of his march he did not have sufficien: cavalry for pursuit.and to clinch the victores gained, and that that branch must now be so overworked as to be practically worn out.THE TIMES\u2019 MILITARY EXPERT commenting on General Methuen's despatch says: \u201cGeneral Methuen only states that the enemy was made to quit his position Our troops must have been too exhausted to pursue, but if the Boers were driven across the river.assuming it was fordable, ! their loss must have been severe.\u201d ! The paper proceeds to argue that the Boers\u201d general position possibly po-nted southwest, their retirement being to the eastward.Col.Albrecht, who is directing the work of the Boers in opposing Lord Methuen, | was orginally an officer in the Austrian army.fie entered the Free State army.and soon brought its artillery to a high state of efficiency.He is known as an able artillerist and strategist.It ia believed that Lord Methuen will be instantly reinforced from Cape Town by two battalions of infantry, a detachment of cavalry and a battery of artillery.CANADA'S SOLDIERS, Their Arrival at Cape Town Not Officially Reported at Ottawa.tut Never-the-less There Was a Loyal Demonstration in the South African Capital.(Special to the Star.)

Why they should do this I do not know, but they do.If they say the most trivial thing they preface it with this ejaculation.It is a eort of general introduction.\u2018The Boers are not to-day, however,, what they were a dozen vears ago.The opening up of the big mines the mills and the other large business undertakings has lured them away from the veldt and the farm.Hundreds and thou- sauds of them work down deep in the mines and are seldom, if ever, seen above ground in the daytime.As a result of this they have lost much of the vigour and litheness that come from out of door life, have lost accuracy as marksmen and have developed into tradesmen.It is no proof of their marksmanship that so many English offi cers have been killed, but rather a demonstration of the useless and vainglorious wa in which the officers expose themseltes.This war will, however, wipe out in all probability one of the most quaint and pi.turesque classes of people in the world.That 1s what is known as the \u2018trikker.These people, whole families, drift from place to place in big covered waggons haul ed by oxen, and live on the veldt.They never work.them are allowed to graze all day and then move along.The women do the cooking and the children do the odd jobs.The men will sit around all dav, smoking, without saying a word.A dull, contemplating look is in their eye, and they seem to be uterly oblivious to all around them.I once asked one of these men what he thought of from morning to night.| He replied: \u201cThink! I haven't time to think.That was a stunner.They are a dirty, il)- dressed, slothful, lazy peonle, with apparently little or no intellgence, With the hostile armies sweeping back and forward across the country, there will he no place for their peaceful and monotonous drifting, and 1 think they will be swallowed up and lost sight of.\u201d THE CAPITAL OF NATAL.Pietermaritzburg is Picturesquely Placed and Has Many Interesting Features.(London Pall Mall Gazette.) Pietermaritzburg.generally abbreviated to Maritzburg, is the capital and centre of government of Natal, situated seventy and one-quarter miles north-west of Durban, in the centre of a plateau which forms the second terrace of the colony, 2.218 feet above sea level.Pietermaritzburg is named after the two famous Boer leaders, Pieter Retief and Gert Maritz, who laid out the city in 1839.After the \u2018\u2019trekkers\u2019\u2019 from the Cape entered Natal, the bulk of the people, about 2,000, congregated at Bushman\u2019s Rand, the present capital.situated among hills on the ridge and sides of a gentle slope, which forms part of the north bank of the River Umsunduzi.a tributary of the Umgem.Water was led down the streets; the erven, or plots, were surrounded by turf walls and planted with fruit trees or vegetables.Gradually houses - low, one-storied buildings \u2014 began to fill up the square, subdivided into blocks, formed by the town: and even in 1839 Pretorius described it as \u201ca large, pleasant, and well-watered town.\u201d In the centre of the city was the open space known trom its foundation as the \"Market Square,\u201d a rendezvous for countrymen arriving with their waggons on a pleasure visit or for business purposes, ere the era of the locomotive.In those early days Maritzburg was devoid of trees - q bare desolate expanse.Now it is a city bosomed in trees, with plantations on the neighbouring hills.© the north-west of the city, and 1,600 feet above it, is what is known locally as the Town Hill, an elevation in the third of the series of terraces rising from the coast.There are over thirty mites of streets, laid out in the usual Dutch fashion of dividing areas into rectangular blocks.The popu: lation of Maritzburg taken last ycar war 20,155, comprising 11,300 Europeans, 6,150 natives, and 2,700 Indians, and one garrison, which is the headquarters of the Imperial forces in the colony, is situated at Fort Napier, on a kopje gverlooking and commanding the city from the south-west.The main line of the railway runs through the upper end of Maritzburg, just below the garrison, and in 1892 a commodious and central railway station was built there.Its dark brown soil, its red-tiled houses, ita wild-rose hedges, and the abundance of trees gives it the appearance of a large ish village.But late years extensive building operations have rv.in progress, and villas of the moderna English type are springing up in every direction.In 1892 the Town Hall was completed at a cost of over £50.000, and it was destroyed: by fire in 1898.Other public buildings of importance are the Legislative Assembly.now utilized as a hospital; the railway station, the Post Office, Supreme Court and Market House.Outside the city, and across the Umsunduzi River, are the college and the Natal Police Headquarters in the colony.The college, presided over b: Mr.R.D.Clark, M.A,, an old New College man, and colleague of Sir Alfred Mil- per, in a very handsome building.and the police barracks form a substantial block half a mile distant from the college.Marita.burg ir well supplied with water.and the cost of the present system amounts to over £65,000.A large library supplies the literary wanta of the capital, containing, as it does, over 13,000 volumes: the Government makes a grant of £350 per annum to this institution.There are several manufac- tories in the capital; a large brewery, which caters for the Imperial troops; a tannery, and wattle bark factories are among the industries of the city, which, however, mainly depends fer its prosperity on its agricultural.surroundings and the permanent garrison of Imperial troops.0 UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS.(Bpeclai to the Star.)

Capadian Teams in, Might Have Larger Attendance in East End.There is a movement on foot to have the intermediate champlonship hockey matches taken away from the Arena unless (he manakement of the Arena i= willing have them played off at night ÿ ment Las been started almost stmultene- ously with the movement to have some ol he French-Canadian clubs represented in the Intermediate league.The movers of the proposition think that the idez of holad- ing the intermediate matches on Sutur- day afternoon would not be so bud if there were no senior matches In the evening.but under the circumstances there would be hardly any atiendance whatever at the intermediate games.They reason that if one or two French-Canadian teams uate admitted there would be a great deal of enthusiasm among the French-Canadians who lke the sport.because they would look upon their Intermediate teams fu the same way as the English-speaking peuple would luok upon thelr senior teams, and they ure almost certain that if the intermediate matches could be PLAYED ON SATURDAY NIGHT In some rink in the east end that there would be every Saturday an attendance nt thousands which would do nu harm whatever tu the attendance at the senior mutehes in the Arena The Montagnard and the Auditorium rinks are suggested as places where the intermediate matches could be played.There seems to be no doubt that an effort is being made by the directors of the Arena Company to have the combiner 3cs- son's intermediate hockey matches played on Saturday afternnons instead of in the evening, as last season.Last winter the matches were played on Friday evenings, and us there were two matches played each evening It was almost midnight before the rink was clear.This necessitated arrangements being magle for teams whose practice hours were on the match evenings, and it was RATHER AN INCONVENIENT SCHEME all around.Now, paturday afternoon Is comparatively clear, and s thought that lt would make intermediate hockey more popular 1f the matches were to be played un Saturday afternouns.The am- vunt of receipts \u2018ropn intermediate hockey is far from heavy.and it is thought that 1f they played in the afternoon the younger element would be induced to patronize the gameg.Then, again.In the winter it is an easy matter to find some amusement in the evening.but Saturday afternoon is generally an \u201coff\u201d part of the week.In the matter of intermediate hockey.it looks as there would be a boom in this league.There are now three applications from as many clubs for membership, and it looks as if two of these three apvli- cants would be admitted.This would make six clubs in Montreal, two in Ottawa and three in Quebec and Sherbrooke.The applications so far received are from the Nattonals, Westmount and Polnt St.Charles.The Montagnard people have been mooting the question.but so far have not sent In their application.The Three Rivers Club also HAS SOME AMBITIONS THAT WAY, but have falled to send in their application.This is the last day for applications.The annual meeting of the Intermediate Canadian Hockey League is to be held on December 9, on the afternoon previous to the Senior Lengue meeting, and these applications and a notice of motion from Quebec will form the principal business.Quebec's notice of motion is one referring to Council meetings, and is the same as that which wili come before the Senior League.It ils more than likely that both leagues will adopt the amendment.It ts rather strange.but there has been Httle talk of the electinns, The officers of both leagues at present are closely al- there will be a change, as the Intermediate League is now fully able to \u20ac care of Îtself and will! not need any support from the officers of the Senior the present incumbent of the presidential chalr in the Senior league will again ac- cupy the position, and it is hardly likely that there will be: any struggle for positions tor the other offices.TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER.Williams, the Burglar, Sent Up at the Police Court, in Toronto.TORONTO, November 30.\u2014 Henry Wil- ltams was committed for trial at the Police Court this morning on a charge of murdering James E.Varcoe.The defence will be devoted to placing the blame of the crime on Willlams' companlon in the crime, Joseph W.Curtis, allas James Mec- Intosh, now dead.ee\" A PRISONER\u2019S SAD PLIGHT.(Bpecial to the Star.) SWEETSBURG, Que.November 30.\u2014 Some learned Justice of the Peace at Man- sonville, the other day sent an offender to the Sweetaburg gaol, his trial being fixed for \u201cthe next term of the General Sessions of the Peace.\u201d As there is no such court in this district, the authorities are engaged in deciding whether it will be easier to amend the Criminal Code or allow the risoner to be a partaker of Her Majesty's untiful hospitality for the remainder of his life.District Magistrate Mulvena is tn be here on Monday, when the knot will probably be untied.The charge against the prisoner is one of assault, and it is curious to note that at tbe same time he wan sent to gaol he was bound over to keep the peace.mme !
