It is instructive occasionally to note how far reaching are the consequences • of acts and 'events that in themselves are comparatively unimportant. Less than two years age the Spaniards and Cubans were carrying on a desuls tory war in Cuba. No Canadian at that time could have had any idea that that conflict, together with that in the Philippines, now going on, could have even the renaotest influence upon our own national destiny. Yet it is not difficult to trace our present advanced position. on the high road of British imperialism at least in a measure to those inglorious skirmishes. The United States intervened in the quar- rel, justifying herself on humanitarian and other- grounds.

There is yet meat to be done before the scheme ie finished, and the present war with the Boers, regrettable as it prey be from a hu- manitarian standpoint, is necessary to its accomplisbnaent, The Boer terrie tory is needed. Ruled as an indepen- dent country, A stands in the way. Veless it comes under British rule of some kind, the federation cif the em- pire cannot be safely proceeded with. There can be no railway or other means of communication between south and north. Africa and the Sues canal -the loinding together of the different Afrioan colonies as the Canadian Pacific binds together the provinces of Canada. It is well known that the scheme of such a railway from the Cape of Good Hope northward has been anion°. the archives of the British war office for some years. But how to proceed with the enterprise with ahos- tile Boer country in the way was not clear. It could have been accom- plished without war hadBoer suspicion of Great Britain not prompted them to refuse the franchise to the Out- landers, who would. speedily have voted the country into the British empire. But they refused, and war to bring this result about is the dread alternatiye. A great deal necessarily depends upon the United States. Should she take alarm and joinhands with any European enemy of Britain, there would be great difficulty in car- rying out Mr. Chamberlain's plans, at least- as far as Canada is concerned, and we need not be surprised if, with this danger in view, England seeks even a closer alliance with Canada's big neighbor than now exists. United States were allowed to fight THE WEEK IN AFRICA.• out alone the war which ensued. One or more of the European nations would have taken ahand in the war on behalf of thkr 'Sistet European state, but that England stood by the United States and prevented interference. There may be different opinions regarding Great Britain's reason for taking this stand, but it appears probable that she was actuated by justifiably selfish mo- tives, and that, calculating closely, and having in view future possible contin- gencies, such as the present war, for she was even then having difficulty with the Boers, she desired to put the United States , under obligations that she could not with decency fail to repaY. It was quite palpable that England was wts ready to extend this sympathy as the United States was to receive it. It was an .extremely clever diplomatic move on the part of Great Britain. There can belittle doubt that ' had she allowed the interference of other nations in the Spanish-American War, the New York Tribune, Mr. Mc- Kinley's New York organ, which has never been in any other crisis a very zealous friend of Great Britain, would not now be found justifying England in her war with the Boers. Without a doubt the newspapers of the United States would have printed with flaring headlines the ever -ready andoft-re- peated story of England's greed and cruelty instead of expressions of sym- pathy. • Had Great Britain not felt assured_ that so far as the United States is con- cerned she would haye a free hand in straightening out matters with the Boers, it is altogether unlikely that Canada would have been found. send- ing; troops to the Transvaal, and by so doing, committing herself to England's scheme of a, world -dominating imperi- alism. It is not unreaeoriable to be- lieve -that the sending of these men was suggested by Great Britain rather 'than by the Canadian Government. Mr. Chamberlain, colonial secretary, bas been working along these lines ever since he assumed office in the Salisbury cabinet, and has made won- derful progress in the advancement of his ideal, He is the strongest imper- ialist in the Empire, with the possible exception of Mr. Cecil Rhodes. When he has pulled the strings the colonial premiers have jumped into view -some of them rather slowly, to be sure, as Sir Wilfrid. Laurier, but they have toed the mark in the end. With the United States in the friendliest pos- sible frame of mind, came Mr. Chem- berlain'e opportunity to make the col- onies speak out, and, together with the motherland, demonstrate the unity a the British empire. Had he not known that the American Samson's hair bad been cut, and that be was chained by the obligations England had placed hire under for her attitude duting the Spanish-American waielmr. Chamberlain would hardly felt free to encourage Canada to assist Britain in &quarrel in which, aside from senti- ment, she has no interest whatever, and the merits of which, from some points of view, are debatable. Had the same feeling existed be- tween Great Britain and the United States that permeated both peoples a, few years ago, who can believe that the Jriited. States' would, not easily have found dozens of to them go VeRsolls-good excuses certainly or dot only intervening between Brain and the Boetee bat to have ,c),Acleecl Canacla'a tendency towards au imperi- alism which ift the past lags among Areeriettes stood niteiely for hostility towardthe 'United States?

The fighting, as reported, almost always resulted in the British soldiers inflicting very severe punishment upon the Boers, but it must be admitted that all the substantial advantages of thecampaign thus far remain with the Boers. This is not be wondered at. The British are vastly outnumbered. The Boers are the aggressors. Their plans,as develop- ing, aim at the subjugation of the British provinces of Natal and Cape Colony, and they are, owing to their superior numbers, making progress, though in the end they will surely be turned back. Ladysmith, where Gen- eral White met with such a disastrous reverse over a week since, is an im- portant Natal town on the way be- tween the Orange Free State and Durban, the port at which it is expect- ed a large portion of the British re- inforcements will land. Ladysmith is completely surrounded, and so certain do the Boers appear to feel of its capture shortly, that they have sent a considerable portion of the investing: force southward toward Durban to at- tack other points, some of which have fallen. Pietermaritzburg, the capital of Natal, is said to be the next point to be attacked,land if the Boers of Natal go to their assistance to any extent, as rn ayreason ably be expectedon national grounds, the capital may fall into the enemy's hands, and the capture of the seaport would become inevitable. That the capture of this port, which would enable them to prevent the landing of British troops and would ensure the permanent occupancy of Natal, would be a serious blow to Britain,is apparent. In yiew of this contingency the continued defence of Ladysmith becom es a matter ofextreme importance, as the Boers do not relish leavinga hostile army even of small dimensions in their rear. As it will be sonic weeks before Buller. can receive any great number of troops now on the way frorn England, it is hard to say what may happen. The latest reports show that the British army pontinues to infaict most severe punishment upon their adver- saries and that they are holding their own stubbornly against great odds. . , THE CANADIAN TROOPS UP AMONG IBE tt011980 The C.P.R.

After leaving Banff the monntains on each side of us become exceedingly grand and prominent, A procession of them, snow capped, pas- ses in review after leaving Banff. IVIa- lestic and overwhelming are these ter- rific heights. Here. and there we see what has the appearance of a delicate silver thread hangingdown the moun- tain side. It is a moentain stream de- scending from the glacier where it originates to join •,the turbulent river as it rushes and tumbles over the rug- ged rocks thousands of feet below. We notice a curious variation in the color- ing of the foliage. The distant trees are of uniform hue, sage for a lighter patch here and there, masking the path of an avalanche which has crash- ed and smashed all before it on its downward course. The colorings of the mountains are simply gorgeous. No artist could catch all the tints. But one would have variety to choose from. At sunset they stand out in bold colors where in the shadows they seem se dense, and with their snow- capped peaks are a beautiful sight. One cannot conceive the beauty of the mountains. We have to see to appre- ciate. Words fail to deseribe them. TARES IN THE CLOUDS. At Laggan one must not fail to visit the "lakes in the clouds." After our clinabing at Banff we were somewhat lame, and had ahnost decided not to climb -any inotIO mountains fornAinid. But as, we were told what we would miss if we did not visit Lake Louise and the other lakes away up in cloud - land, we decided once more to try the ascent, at least -to the first lake. It was rather hard work, but as the scenery and all things • in nature around us seemed so grand our minds were con- stantly diverted from. the toil of the climb. Among other ways of amusing ourselves we threw stones at a porcu- pine. Some of t'he party. expected it to throw its quills, but Mr. Porcupine did not reward them. He simply turn- ed his hack and walked away. We finally reached Lake Louise. It is two and on half miles from Laggan sta- tion. On the margin of this lake is a C. P. R. chalet, a species of Swiss hotel, where one can get good accom- modation if desiring to stop over. These lakes are of peculiar color, being Emeraldi green, which we were told s caused by there being so much arsenic in the water. We had the pleasure of a row on Lake Louise. To the right and left of this placid sheet of water are enormous and rugged niountains, amidst which the echoes roll. We amused ourselves by giving the Swiss call to hear it echo and re-echo among the bills. While ascending the moun- tain we met others coming down, who told us that stra,rvberkies and cream were to be had when we reached the top. But I am afraid the cream was scarce, though we had the, strawber- ries, which we gathered from under the snow. As the bridle path which led to the other lakes was not in good condition for a climb, we did not ven- ture any further, but returned to our car, well satisfied with having exerted ourselves. AT TECE SUMMIT. At Lake Louise the;glacier is in view but out of reach. After leaving Lag- gan we next slow up at the Great Divide." Here we have reached the summit of the rockies. Here a spark- ling stream separates into two parts. The waters of the one flow to the Pa- cific, and the other to Hudson's Bay. From here the railway descends rap- idly. All alighted at this spot, and our Camera "fiends " were all anxious to • get a picture of the party with the mountains in the background and the small streams one at each side. Now we cross the deep gorge of the Wept& or Kicking Horse. At this point the scenery is sublime, almost terrific. The railway clings to the mountain side at the left, while on the right sheer clown below us thousands of feet the river appears like a gleaming thread. The next point touched at is Field, about 5.30 p. m., and are here in time for our dinner. This hotel is a de- lightful little chalet like all the C.P.R. hotels through the mountains. Here we enjoyed our dinner, as we have bidden good-bye to our dining car for 4thesreet of our journey west, and do not gain until we reach Dun- more juncbidfrb11,41up.r6tatin trip. At Pield there is excellent fly fishing for trout in a pretty lake two miles away. Indeed the fish we get on our way through the mountains aresiraply delicious, Some of our party went fishing instead of mountain climbing, and We had the pleasure of eating sortie of the mountain trout which they caught.

We now enter e tremendous gorge whose walls, thousands of feet high, seem to overhang the boiling stream. This stream we slowly follow for miles, the railway crossingfrom side to side, twisting and turning in every direction, every minute or two plunging through projecting angles of the rock which seems to be a barrier in the way. The towering cliffs, the roar of the river, and the noise of. the train in- creased by the echoing walls, the pas- sage of this terrible gorge will never be forgotten. To the north and south as far as the eye can reach we have the Rockies on one side and the Selkirks on the other, widely' different in aspect but each in- describably grand. Now we are near- ing the town of Goldep, which seems a bright little place, with its smelting works, river steamers, churches,stores, etc. Here I met a friend in the person' of Rev. Mr. Westman, formerly sta- tioned as junior minister on the Elim- ville circuit. Asking hint how the liked the place he is stationed in he replied tuat he was very well pleased. W hen travelling one always pleased to see a familiar face. After leaving Golden we follow down the.Columbia river, down through a great canon, through tunnels and. deep rock cuttings. IN TEM SELKIRK MOUNTAIN RANGE. Now we commence the ascent of the Selkirks, and for miles we climb along the mountain side, leaving the river thousands of feet below. Descending westerly, we now are nearing the Gla- cier House, a delightful hotel situated almost in the face of,the Great Glacier. It is Situated at the foot of Sir Donald, the grandest of all the Selkirks. Hee ev` e all alighted. Luncheon was served, to which we did ample justice. After luncheon we were told that we would haste time to climb up to the Great Glacier. So, as we had now become expert mountain climbers, all decided to try the ascent, which repaid us for our trouble. The Glacier is like a sad- dle seated in an indentation between two great mountains. It is reached over enormous boulders, among which streams from its base are continually flowing, and these „furnish the water for the fountains in the hotel. The Great Glacier is a mile and a half from the hotel. A good path has been made which makes it easy for exploration. Here the poet laureate of our party, Mr. Gardiner, of the Hamilton Times, when pert way up seemed iespired with,the beauty of the surroundings, and while resting until the rnajprity explored the wonders of creation, he busied himself with writing poetry, a sample of which has been presented. After descending from the Glacier, and, all were ready to resume the journey, we were informed that a photographer had arrived from Vancouver, and wished to get a photo. of the party. With the Great Glacier for a back- ground he made quite a nice picture. THE LOOP. Leaving Glacier, the Loop is soon reached. Here the line makes several startling turns and twists, forming the letter S. Looking dowu the valley we see two lines other than what we are on. Along both* of these the train curves, and then it hastens around hills and in and out of tunnels, until finally we are passing along the foot of a mountain 8,000 feet high. This terrific: elevation is Mount Stephen. How the engineers found the exact spot for the track, or unravelled the mysteries of the mounta,ins, are prob- lems beyond explanation. The ascents and descents are astounding. We now reath the river, which is of no geeat size, hut of course turbulent. The train runs sud- denly along the very brink of several deep fissures in the solid rock, whose walls rise op hundreds of feet oia both sides. These gorges are sometimes of considerable width filled with that remarkable forest of gigantic trees for w'nich British Columbia is noted. The most striking of these canyons is the Albert, where the river is seen boiling and foaming hundreds of feet below, and compressed into a flume scarcely 20 feet wide. The train stops bete for a few Mill-, UteS, where a solidly built balcony enables passengers to safely look down the frightful yawning chasm to the boiling, seething cauldron below. byeeervices on the train. All assembled. in car Quebec, where Bev. jr, Goodspeed, of McMaster Quiver- sity, Toronto, presided. The hearty way in which the hymns were sung showed that the newspaper men had riot forgotten the time when they were boys at Sunday School. AT vANoouYERs We arrived at 'Vancouver & little ahead of schedleflute, where great numbef of citizens assembled. to meet the train, as a number of them expect- ed to meet friends among our party,' No matter how far one travels one is sure to meet a familiar face, Here I met some friends, Mr. and Mrs. Gre- gory Tow, vyhose faces beamed with pleasure when they saw someone among the party they knew.

Vancover hap a population of 25,000. This is quite a young city. In May, 1886, its site was covered with a dense forest. From May to July its growth was 'rapid. In July forest fires swept over the city, leaving only one house. Every building now seeff has been erected since then. The situation is most perfect, having harbor facilities and commercial aduantages. It has extensiye wharves and warehouses, many hotels, schools, churches, many miles of asphalt pavement, and is lighted both by gas and electricity. It has many beautiful residences which would do credit to cities of a century's growth. The climate is all that can be desired. This city expects & brilliant future. After spending the Sunday at Vancouver we leave for Victoria on Monday. AT REVEI,STOKE, Saturday, August 19eb, we arrive at Revelstoke, about 6.80 pan, where all proceed to the hotel for dinner. • This hotel is finely situated in a • mountain bench overlooking the river. Here we get a good view of the town, which has a population of about, 2,000, is a divisional point and a gateway to the best Kootenayminitig etrnps.
