Simla Oot. 99.—The British forces, under General Sir William Looltharacap- tured the Sempagha Pass at 1.15 oolook this mornius General Gaselee, in com- mand of the second brigade, led the ad- vance upon the enemy's position welch was of the strongest description. The casualities among the British offi- cers already reported are Captain De Batts of the Artillery, who succumbed to wounds received during the engage- ment, and Major HandfordeFleod a the *West Surrey Regiment, who is among the wounded. The British forge will, halt to -night in the Mastara 'Valley and will attinik Athanga, to -morrow. According to despatches from Gundaki, Ber William Lockhart explained his plan of attack to his officers last evening, and the advance from Gutulaki commenced In the darkness about 5 o'clock this morning. The main force, with sixeleat- teries, moved straight on the pass. De- taohments were sent to operate against the villagers on the flanks. When •day dawned all the troops were in position ot the foot of the pass. The enemy's position was very strong, and the ape proaches to it were meetly exposed, but Until now the resistance had been trifl- ing, the tribesmen having been easily expelled trona the villages a Nazens and Eandismishti. Three batteries opened, the attack on the pass between 7 and 8 o'clock, and the artillery thoroughly searthing the enemy's shelters, while a portion of the force turned the enemy's position on the eiget. All six batteries then shelled the defences. The enemy could not face the fire, and elen. Castile°, who Jed the infantry Spiritedly, had a oompaxatively easy task. The pass was found to be a series of steep rises, afford- ing much dead ground to an attacking party. The troops under cover of a moan - stain battery ceptured height after .height, and nally the Fourth Gurkhas and the West Surrey men arrived at the summit together at 9.80 a.m. The enemy now opened a well-dirooted fire at the troops on the summit, but were effeetue Ally cleared from the surrounding leigbts in about three hours, Tim total '04sta:t1tles did not exceed twenty. With the expeoted capture of Athauge. Pass to-roorrow, which is within thirteen miles of the Afbgan frontier, at Safed- lam, the work of the column will be practically completed, for the tuain body of the Afridis, having the Peshawur • column on the east and Sir Willi= Look - hart's force on the south will be com- pelled to sue for peace or to seek the 'inhospitable retirement of the Safed-Kho range. MRS. VILLENEUVE COMMITTED. :Will be Tried on the Charge of Devine 7,'Ilardered Her Husband. 'Chelmsford, Ont., Oot. 30..—Yesterday the priminary trial in the 'Villeneuve murder case Louise Villeneuve, the wife of the murdered man, was committed ere for trial at the next Assizes, whioh open eat Sault Ste. Marie on November 80, be- fore Chanoellor Boyd. Tbere being no evi- dence to oonneot them with the crime •the two other prisoners, Arthur and 'nehileas Chartrinad, were disobarged. Very little new was brought out in !the evidence yesterday. Joseph Dubrisae, -who was no of the first called after the finding of Villeneuve's body, said that Mrs.Villeneuve had told Min her husband batl fallen off the building, and that two .logs had fallen on hire. These logs, which were pointed out by the woman, -were about ten feet long and five inches through, After their discharge the Chartrands were called as Crown witnesses, but told nothing now, and. the proseoutioi an- nouaced the case closed and asked for a ,temanaittal. The woman's counsel argued that no ease had been made warranting ecommitment for trIal, and asked for a discharge. No evidence was put in, though Mrs. Villeneuve was anxious to take the stand, and was 'with difficulty kept from doing so by ber lawyer. The magistrate said. that a murder had been done and that the wornao clearly 'should know more of it than anyone else, and he accordingly committed her .for trial. GARRISON TRAIN WRECK. JAW° Credence Given to the Dynamite Theory of the Disaster—Two Bodies not Yet Recovered. Garrison, N.Y., Oct. 80.—The theory :advanced by some of the railroad people that the enabankment of the New York, Central railway where the State express was thrown into the river on Sunday was blown out with dynamite by train - wreckers is given little or no credence. The popular explanation of the cause of -the disaster is that it was simply a "washout," of the kind so common to railways that are built alongside large streams of water. The divers employed by the New York Central continued their search to -day for the bodies of Ea- .gineer Foyle and Stenographer McKay, but without avail. Ten trucks, most of which were deeply sunk in the mud at the bottom of the river, were raised by derrick to -day. There is a chance that the bodies are buried in the mud, so a • dredge will be set to work to -morrow. NEW BALLOON STORY.

Amendments to the Franneitise Aot—Tarife imparts From Great Drawn. Fallen Off -- A Difference, of Opinion. EFrpin Our Own Correspondent} Ottaem, Oen 26.—The spirited cam- paign wbioh Col. Whitney is ;making is exciting the admiration of friends and enenlies. "The man roust be inane of Iron,” said a well-known newspaper lean the other day. In the past four weeks he has *spoken in thirty-two counties. and has delivered nearly forty speeches. No mortal man mind stand suoh a strain for long; and it is under the doctor's orders that the leader of the Opposition seeks a few days' rest. In the meantime tee Ministers have by no means been silent. Hon, G. W. Ross is the chief stamper, for thie Prenaier • has been re- markably silent so far. Since be en- dorsed Israel Tarte and told the country that, whatever the Minister of Public Works might have been "he is holiest now," we have heard little front the Wielted Premier. Dr. Ross spends great deal of his time ha endeavoring to belittle the strength ot Mr. Whitney's lieutenants. Ib may with • justice be claimed that; the Minister of Education makes a great mistake when he says that the Conservative eapteane are weak. Ross, Efarde and Dryden are the only men in the Government who have any alaim to ability. They misuse it, but they possess it in a fair degree. Gib- son, Harcourt, Harty and Bronson are veritable nobodies. The Hamilton Colonel tries to do Ms best, but his best is poor indeed. The Provincial Treasurer is so Peorin Up in the details of his depart- ment that he annually does something that is not permitted in this or any other British Legislature, He reads leis speech, and is not admonished by the Speaker because the Speaker is no enemy of the Government. Every man who sits in the Legislature knows that Mr. Hat - court's subordinates.prepath that speech for him, and that all be bas to do is to read it. Mr. Bronsoo is an eminently respectable nobody, and Mr. Harty hue • always been prevented by poor health trona being an efficient administrator. Ross and Hardy are the only men in the Cabinet who nave anything like the same ability as is possessed by Col. Matheson, Messrs. Miscampbeln•St. John, "Tait"' Crawford, of Toronto, Reid, of Durham, and others, Tha Conservatives need not. fear comparison at any time. Jline n men ts to the Franchise Act. We hear that at the next session ef Parliament the Government iateuds to railroad through the amendments to the Franthise .4 ot. These amendments are about the most undesirable thing in tee way of legislation that the present Gov- ernment bas been guilty of. They are part of the Administration's plan to unite the Provincial and Federal govern- naents in alliance against the Conserva- tive party. The soheme is to give the provinces the control of the Federal voters' lists. In other words, the franch- ise as defined by any one proviaace is to rule in Federal electives in that province. Thus in Nova Scotia Federal Government employes were disfranchised. by the • Fielding administration while the local civil servants were :Wowed to vote. The stheme is to be worked in Ontario, where there are many Donainion civil servants who leave never taken anything like an active part in politics, but who eave always voted Conservative. Tbe scheme of our masters hero in Ottawa is to disfranchise these ram solely because they are Conservatives. The plan origin- ated with Hon. William Mulook, the broad-mindeci statesman who once an- nounced that he would not believe any Conservative on oath. The independent raembers of the House of Commons may, be depended upon to oppose the scheme, but unfortunately, as Jacques Bonhom- me said, they are not as numerous as the fleas on the back of a priest's dog. The Patrons, who ran and were elected under false pretences. • have turned out to be, what everybody knew they were— straight Liberals. The only independent member in the House to -day is John Ross Robertson, of Toronto, and John Ross has been' successfully "jollied" by the Liberals more than once. He is solid on the Franchise Act amendments, though because he is an honest man, and does not believe in class distinctions as far as citizenship goes. To make one civil servent a voter and to withhold the same privilege from another is rank in- justice. And that is what our dear friends the Liberals propose to tin. Tariff Imports From Britain Fallen Off. The American Consul -General at Ot- tawa, Col, Turner, has forwarded to his government a report on the workings of the "British,preference" • scheme, in which he points out that under the Fielding tariff Imports from Great Bri- tain have fallen off. .As The Mail point- ed out the other day, this was the inevi- table result of Mr. Fielding's scheme whereby enormous cuts evere made on nannufactures of iron and steel, articles.. in width the United States was enabled soccessfully to compete with Great Bri- tain, on OCCOUIIL of the 'difference in freight rates. The truth is that Mr. Fielding, like Sir Richard Cartwright, still casts a languishing eye toward Washington. No matter though the Americans have told us that they will have nothing in the way of partial reci- procity, • the governors of this country still pursue the will o' the wisp. They scent to court • contuinelious treatment from the Dingleys, the Chandlers and the Corlisses. And thorn get it. • The country wants them to impose an export duty On saw logs. They fear, to do so, although there are five thousand mill hands out of work in Northern (Mit:trio and a thousand more in New lerunsevick. The Laurier Administration *as an- nounced to be a government of Business inen with scapital letters. The chief busi- ness that it is doing is to get jobs for its friends and to discharge Coneervatives. Some of the younger Li orals have made startling records in the way of securing official posts for their friends and rola- , tives, Youag Mr. Enlist, weo sits for Two Mountains, has put no less thaa twelve of bie fannly into govern:meat jobs. There are only three government posts in the county which are not held by relatives of Mr. &bier. How did the family exist before? They must all have been on the verge of starvation; *Oen must regard the government as en elee- mosynary institution, exiating solely. for the benefit of indigent arid faithful Lib, A Difference of ()Pinion. Sir Oliver Mowat's old saying that it was a good thing to bave governments of different Dentinal conaplexions at Ot- tawa and Toronto rises up in judgment against hini now, The Minister of -Jus- tice has made no effort to \niggle out of bis etaternent, far he is soon to wriggle bath a $10,000 a year *job that will give him no labor and plenty of time in wineh to discover fresh evidences a Obristiartity. Mr. Hardy does not agree with his late cnieftain in thinking that a disparity of governments ought to be desired. In place of this he believes that the Laurier Government will be a most valuable aid to hin in carrying Ontario next election The deal to that effect has been made and the Ontario Liberals pro- pose to see to it teat the bargain is car- ried out. To that end Mr. Ross a few days ago visited Ottawa and had a long oonfereace with the Premier. Ways and means of defeating the Conservatives were talked of, and the desirability of sending extra proviucial speakers to aid the Liberals was talked of, Tlae Ontario Administration will take no ohances, but their efforts will be in vain. The feeling amougst the members of the Cab- inet is that the Hardy Government will be defeated. "Tim little Premier is gone and. Arthur Sturges is not fast enough for the pilaw," said a well known Lib- eral to nee the other day, "The feat that Hardy is unpopular with his own people will do bina no goose Yellen the campaign begins m earnest, Hardy bas a bad at- tack ot big head' and he has witagonized many of his friends by bis insufferable arrogance. He will not be Premier of Ontario a year from now and, although am a good Liberal, I shan't be sorry to see him go." • Tee ertaie Society End. If the blossoming of the female "bud" into a noever of society is a proper tope) for newspaper cliscussioa, wnyshould not tee male 'bud" be :also honored with a detailed "write-up" in the public iirints, So that his (Morena may be as widely ad- vertised as those of tlao attrautive crea- tures who depend upon him for seats at the opera and partners at the german? Evidently there is no just reason for the discrirabaation from the point of view of a Washington paper, evbioh presents in several columns the best qualities of a munher of masculine "buds" which are now full blown. The peoral monopoly which the fairer sex Ea heretotere enjoyed is thus rudely assailed, and bereafter it would not be surprising If the euterprising society re- porter has to give as much attention to those coy young things that wear dress coats and belong to the olub as be has beretofore devoted to the ladies. Whether this shall prove to be an :affliction re- mains to be seen, but the novelty of the innovation will no doubt lend some in- terest at first to the apotheosis of the male "bud." Blonde or bloodine, bru- nette or strawberry type, be will be pie- tured to as bu all bis atunning beauty. The part of his hair, the length of his collar and the brevity of his top tioat, the style of his boots and the color of his gloves, the diameter of his eyeglasses and the angle at winch he wears his silk hat—all these details and many raore DOG here set forth will be dwelt upon with the nice analysis and painstaking indus- try of the society reporter. Elyelashee, teeth, trim of beard or inoustache, nose of Gra:Asa or Roman type, perhaps re- trousse or expansive, will not be nest- leoted, of course. Great things are promised for the ex- altation of the male "bud," and if he has heretofore blossomed in obscurity, the time of bis apotbeosis has come. No longer will he be a violet in nacelest se- clusion, but a sunflower, brilliant, if not gaudy'. Why Furopeans Are ,Fate. The explanation of the safety of Euro- peans among these fellows, even where the police were absent, is probably to be found in the tentative character of the Turk's violation of right and of law. In doing what is wrong he always begine an abject coward, gaining courage with impunity. The Imre fact that a Euro- pean would walk straight through a crowd of the bludgeon -men, jostling against them in an unconcerned manner, convinced them that for some reason he was not a safe man to attack. In some eases Armenians walk safely through the mobs on the street, simply by push- ing their way with a determined air. In every case where an Armenian ran from thein, or even hesitated on meeting there, his only chance of life was gone. The tentative character of Turkish aggres- sions is oat sufficiently borne in mind. At the beginning of a wrong, even a Sultan will draw back when he sees that his tourse is resented by one vvhonr he knows to have the riglat, and believe a to have the force to do so. How to Hake a Three -stick Hite. in Take three straight sticks of pine or cedar, half an • inch wide by a quarter inch thick or less. Make two 30 inches in length and the third, 20. Cross the two longor on the form of an X at a point 10 inches from the ends and bind the third across them.

Mr, George has not been strong for the past three years, and his son, Henry George, jr., has been his companion in almost every enterprise in which he has engaged, going with him on his tours of the West as a special newspaper corres- pondent in the last Presidential cam- paign, and keeping close at his side in his movements in the campaign. 'Within the past day or two close friends of Mr. George bave noted with apprehension marked changes in his appearance and manner. His great, clear eyes grew dull, little wrinkles came at the corners, and ids eyes Sunk in hollow caverns. His voice, usually resonant and pleasant, was higher pitched and feebler. Mr. George at the outset of his cam- paign kept open house, and tried in his usual homely frankness and openness to see all those who sought him. But this became meth than a herculean task, and his managers were conipelled to seek safety for their champion's health by establishing a zordon of sentinels and guards over him at bis headquarters in the Union Square betel. Sketch of His Career. Henry George was born on September 2nd, 1889. He received a common school education, and then went into a count- ing-roorn. He was also a sailor, and learned the printer's trade. In 1858 he reached California, where he worked at the printer's ease until 1866, when he became a reporter and afterwards an editor, working at differ- ent times on the San Francisco Times and Post. He returned to New York in 1880, and event to England and Ireland the following year, where he was twice arrested as a suspect, but afterwards re- leased when his identity was established. Mr. George is best known to the world at large through his writings • upon economic questions, notably his • work entitled "Progress and • Poverty," pub- lished in 1879. His other works are: "Our Land arid Land Policy" (1871); "Irish Land Question" (1881); "Social Problems" (1888); "Property in Land," a -controversy with the Duke of Argyle (1884); `1The Condition of Labor'," an open letter to Pope Leo XIII, (1891); and "A Perplexed Plailosopher" (Her- bert Span cer, , 1892).

Toronto, 'Nov. 1.—We had a total here this morning of 55 loads' and there was lionsiderably more life inthe cattle trade, busluees being comparatively brisk. There was scarcely any export business in the ordinary sense, and prices were from llee to Mc, with perhaps 100 per cwt. more for anything -very superior. Some stockers were bought at from 834 to 3e.ect for the best, and 3 to 83(a for light; stooners sold well. Feeders fetched 8 to 3eec ter pound. The trade in butoher cattle was brisk, and while prices were scarcely quotable changed, they were much firmer, especi- ally for good. stuff. Prime butcher cattle sold at from 834 to 3eec per pound, and pick -ed lots fetched occasionally 3eno; medium sold at 2 7-8 to 3 1-8o, and. Can- adian cattle around. 214 to M.o. Though there was not an active demand for in- ferior cattle about all the stuff here was cleared off in the afternoon. The brisk- ness of the market to -day. was entirely owing to the light supplies of the past week, and farmers are advised not to bank on a merely transitory improve- ment, There were 15 milkers on the market to -day, and they all sold immediately. Good sows are wanted. Ordinary COWS to -day sold from $2 upward; but the best cows here fetched from $40 to $50 each; these grades are scarce and. are wanted Good bulls are in easy demand at unchanged prices, but there is no anxiety to buy them. We had too many common calves here, and though they ell sold. the tendency wa a for weaker figures. Medium calves sell from $2.50 to $4 each, and choice from $4.50 LO $8.

It must have been such a (muse of gratitude to find themselves eafe on lands that they would not think go iuuch of the ram o and cold, and yet the kiadness of the natives was very refreshing. Flow =nobs ion ;night be brougbt into many a life if we all lived to show kiudness to those in need! Aswe ex- perience in OUT own hearts the loving kJ:Armes of God, weld: is better than life (Ps. lxiii, 8), we should surely thaw the kindness of Cod to others (II Sam. ix, 3), but these people probably Ithew nothing of the love of God. How often the conduct of one who knows not God puts to theme those wbo are Hisl 8-6. Paul was not above gathering stens with the rest to belp make the fire burn. It is Christilite to be ready to every good work, however bumble, Tiae omen and lowly scom not any service they eau rai- der to aeother. Paul was an earthen ves- sel for God's glory (Gal. 1, 24), and God was glorilled in him in the storm before WI the people on the snip, He now allows a viper to fasten On Pard'S hand that be- fore these nativesthe power of God may be seen In his shaking off the viper and en- perierming no barna. This was ecoordieg to Our Lord's worde in Laike x, 19, "Be- hold, 19100 you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing sbeal by any males hurt you." 7, 8. "Paul entered In and prayed and iaId his bands on him and healed bine" This was the father of Publius, the thief man of the island, -anto was sick of a fever, but the Lord, tbreugb Pain, instantly?' healed hen. At one time God wrought special miracles by the bands of Paul, so tbat by handkerchiefs (mammas -which bad touched his body the sickwere bealed (Acts xix, 11, 12). At another timePaul had to leave Trophiraus at Milettun sick. We Menet always tell whether health or sick- ness or life or death sball glorify God the most, so vve sbould say as Paul said, "Cbrist shall be magnified In my body whether it be by nfe or by death" (Phil. 1, 20). 9, "no When this Wee done others Is wbieb bad diseases in tho Island came and were healed." Thus the power of Christ was made widely known, and we cannot think of Paul obeybag part of our Lord's command without obeying the other. If he healed the sick in the narae of Christ, be would cortaiely preaoh the gospel of God concerning His Son nesus Cerise, our Lord, to which he had been especial3y called and separated (Rom. i, 1, 3). Thus not only v?ero bodies healed, but many souls must have been Bayed also. 10. "Who also bOnored us with many honors, and when we departed they laded us with suoh things as were macessary." When people are really blessed, it is not Emma* to ask theta to give. Gratitude will show itself in some at least. The mis- sionary money winch comes to me from year to year in gratitude for the blessing received at the Bible classes convinces nte of this more and more, and the abundance fax current expenses in my own congrega- tion from the grateful bouts who enjoy tbe ministry at the word, so that 1 never need to nth any one fax a cent, but merely state the need wben there is one and look to the Lord alone to supply it through His willing people, makes axe wish that all preachers and teachers would so feed their people that the gratitude would be more manifest to the glory of God. 11. ".And after three months we depart- ed in a ship of Alexandria." Paul had learned to wait, and whether it was two or three weeks in a storm at sea, or three months an bore at Malta, or tsvo years a prisoner at Groan.% be knew what it was to "rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him" (Ps. axxvii, 7). Our Lord waited 30 years at Nazareth and has waited over 1,800 years ae God's right band to have His body gathered out of the mations of the earth. We ba ve great need to consider Hina lest we be wearied and faint in our minds (Hee. ib, 3). 13-14. Three days at Syracuse, a call at Rbegium, seven days at Ienteali, then on toward Rome. And every day, whether on land or sea, journeying or waiting, just living to glorify -Gat. Cnsolous of His loving kindness in storm and sunsbine, not because we feel it, but because we know it in Obrist; conscious of His con- stant oare of and interest in us; rejoicing that God is for us, Christ is for us, the Spirit is fax us, and the angels minister to us (Rom. viii, 81, 84, 26; Hob. 1, 14). Sure that all our works are prepared fax us beforehand, and we have only to walk in them, doing as occasion serve as, fax God is with us ii, 10; I Sam. x, 7). Done with all fretting and murmuring and complaining, ail of whith is.sinful; care- ful for nothing, prayerful for everything, thankful fax anything, andrejoioing in the Lord always. 15. Brethrom from Rome came to meet Paul and his companions as fax as Appli forum and the three taverns, caning gratitude and inspix•ing (towage. • It is heavenly to meet an earth those who are our true blood relations. I do not mean so much our kindred as tbose who are one with us by the blood of Christ. These ara often Deaver to us than brother or sister. The bond is wonderful. Biest be the tie teat binds our hearts in Christian lovel pixpl may have mot sonao of these brethren 50 other parts of the world or not. We are not told. But they were oae in Christ and. living fax His glory and ready to die fax 16. They came to Roane, and Paul was suffered to eleven by himself with a soldier who kept him. Ile was now where God said be would bo, and as to bearing wit - nese be had only to watth his opportunity and be ready to -use it, or rather let God tisc him in it. He was in a measure free, even as he was in Gramma, and he was in the Lord's hand, who could easily make him more free if At was best.
