NOTES
The developments of the South Af
rican war will raise a serious question
as to whether Canada has been train-
ing her citizen soldiers on the right
MOO, Most Of the military maven -
tions haTe been rudely upset in the
Transvaal. The lesson of the war so
far is that the mounted infaiitry man
would be of more use in the rou li
Work of defending Canada than tho
British infantryman, who is the chief
product of our military schools.
There ism) getting away from the
truth that crimes. like the atrocities
in West Elgin have never gone au -
punished. The commission appointed
by the Ontario Government will not
permit the chief victim of these crimes
to be rem esented by counsel. The evi-
dence (the burning of the ballots)
which should have landed some scoun-
drels in the penitentiary has been des-
troyed. Accident, or no accident the
West Elgin ease has all the diameter-
istics of an infamous crime. The GoriT-
e Apnea which accepted without pro -
r........4
st the profits of that crime bas no
reason to resent the determination of
the opposition to assert. its rights by
any methods which it chooses to
adopt.
l
`. 4.
With the relief- a laimbetiey, the
capture of eronje's army, and the re-
lief of Ladysmith announced yester-
day, the operations of the war will cer-
tainly be shortened. It is a matter of
history that the generals of irregular
armies have always had the greatest
difficulty in keeping their colomns
from melting away under the steady
attractions which home oilers to honie
loving men. Washington was 4rea.tly
troubled by the tendency. of his pat-
riots to break away for home. The
same disintegreting iefluence will now
-- be at work on the soldiers of the Free
State, The relief of Kimberley de-
stroys the last hope that material
profit can come to the Free State from
the war. Lord Roberts is careful to
respect the properby and personal
liberty of the Free State burghers,
and the advance of the British army
will give the Free State good reason
to draw off from the ill -started alli-
ance with the Transvaal, and. seek to
make its own bargain for peace with
the British Empire.

The British intelligence department
estimates the number of Boers liable
to service in the Transvaal at 31,314;
e_ in the Orange Free State, 22,314; dis-
'se loyal Cape Dutch, 4,000, and foreigners
enlistea, 4,000, making a. total of 01,893,
from which 1,893 men are deducted for
the police. The Boers, it is said, have
eighteen old guns of all kinds, 19 cap-
tured from the British, and 73 new
guns, classified as follows ; Creuot 15-0
guns, 16; 3.7 -inch, 21 • 7.5 -inch, 32,
and 4.7 -inch howitzers, 4-'. Against this
British have sent out mountain guns,
12; horse artillery, 54 ; field artillery,
234; five -inch howitizers, 36; naval
guns, mostly 4-7 inch, 38 ; heavy seige
train guns, 36. The British forces
prior to the war consisted of 9,000
men, 7,600 unmounted, and 2 000
mounted. On the date of the ultima-
tum, October 9, they had increased to
12,000 unmounted and 3,400 mountecea
total of 16,000. On January 7 they
were 83,000 unmounted and 19,800
• mounted. On February 28 they will
consist 37,000 mounted men and 142,800
• unmounted.

Watervaal Drift.
This is probably the spot at which the casualties in the Canadians
Regiment occurred.
War and its awful trail of death and suffering to the wounded and
the bereaved, struck the Canadians throughout the land, with
sudden terror Wednesday morning, when the news came over,
the wires that twenty members of the Canadian Regiment now
in South Africa, had been killed in a battle on Sunday. Sixty-
one were wounded, two are missing and seven sick ones have
been captured.

REIM OF I WILY.
Kimberley has been relieved. Gen.
French, with a force of artillery, env-
telry and mounted. infantry, reaehed
the long -beleaguered city Thursday
night
Gen. French had. several engage-
ments on his march across the Met
and Modder rivers, while advancing to
Kimberley, but the British suffered
only slight casualties.
Several Boer gene near Chieveley
have been disabled by the British.
Ladysmith ordeal) is subsisting on
horse and rattle flesh, but the health of
the men is generally improved.
General Wench now holds both the
Madder and Ritt rivers, between the
Boers at ,Magersfontein and their base
at Bloomfontein. Throughtiut the
March the Free State farms were re-
spected, but their owners almost in-
variably fled, taking their effects.
The health of the troops is excellent,
but sickness is prevalent among the
horses and a plentiful supply of re-
mounts will be required.
The details of the advance of the
mounted force under Gen. French are
encouraging so far as they go. These
details are few, but they strongly indi-
cate that the Boers were surprised by
the rapid motions of the cavalry divi-
sion. The proof of this surprise is af-
forded by the large number of cattle
and sheep captured in the Boer camps
at the drifts over tbe Modder river.
The withdra•wal of the Boers from al-
most any position under artillery fire
would not necessarily prove that they
were surprised. But cattle and sheep
are the breath of life to Cronje's army,
and the movement, which drives the
Boers away from aS large number of
cattle and over 2,000 sheep, must be
something in the nature of a surprise.
French at Kimberly with a force of
cavalry,artillery and mounted infantry
not less than 10,000 strong, can domin-
ate all the roads leading from Magers-
fontein which are not commanded by
Roberts at Jacobsdal. The Boers are
now in the position of a besieged gar-
rison at Magersfortein. Kimberley
relieved, and the British in command
of all the roads, the Boer army is likely
to soon run short of supplies and be
starved into a choice between surrend-
er and attacking Lord Roberts upon
ground of his own choosing.
The heroic resistance of.. White and
his brave garrison has lifted Lady-
smith out of its true proportion to the
fortunes of the campaign. The senti-
ment which refuses to abandon the
garrison in Ladysmith has made that
town the centre of British interest and.
British sympathies. Kimberley is in
the material sense far more important
than Ladysmith. The hope of adding
Kimberly to the territories of the Free
State bus been the prize which was
' dangled in front of the burghers of the
Free State to lure them Into an alli-
ance with the Transvaal. The relief
of ICirciberly destrOy that hope
and remove the powerful, though sor-
did, inoti-ve which induced the Boers
of the Free State to become partners
with their kinsmen in the Traiisvaal.
LIIDYSMITli RELIEVED!
London, Feb 21.—The Queen this
morning received news that Lady-
smith bad been relieved. The am
nouricenient was received. with im-
mense entieusiaein and shouts of "Bra-
vo, Buller," The news has not been
confirmed, but is probably correct.

Alas and the West Elgin ballots
which were to have been the subject
of criminal proceedings, degenerated
into the subject of an a,ccidental con-
flagration.
The lecture given by J II Aiken, in
Mitchell, was a failure, and not a suc-
cess as reported in last week's paper.
It was not conducted by Mr. Ram, and
the Advocate's vietvs of the affair seem
to have been correct.
Geo. E. Tuckettpresident of Tuckett
& Sons Tobacco Company and former
Mayor of Hamilton, died on Monday
morning. Deceased a week ago took
ill while preparing to go to Toronto to
attend a meeting of the directors of
the Traders' Bank, and pneumonia de-
veloped.
Juclees Osier and Ferguson, have
handed out written judgment along
the line of their statement in court
last week, declining to remit the fines
iniposed on the bribers and the bribed
in South Ontario election cases. The
judges agree that the penalty is not to
be reduced to enable persons found
guilty to escape punishment. Quite a
number of those who accepted bribes
must now go to jail, as they are utter-
ly unable to raise the $200 fine.
Bugler Dunn, the 15 -year-old mem-
ber of the ist Royal Dublin Fusiliers,
who was the first to cross the Tugela
River, and who was shot in the right
arm while running with the soldiers
and, sounding the advance, saw the
Queen as Osborne yesterday. Her
Majesty presented hirn with a hand-
some silver -mounted bugle, suitably
inscribed. The Queen gave the lad a
motherlywelcome, and expressed her
hopes that he would have a successful
career in the army.
Greenway has so tied up the Liberal
party that there is no hope of carrying
a single bye election in the provincial
contests so long as he is leader. This
is a truth which will be verified by fu-
ture events, just the same the case
of South Winnipeg and Emerson.
Sincere men among the Liberals de-
plore the .situation, but are almost
helpless me to date, as the machinery
for calling a convention is still con-
trolled by the rraiehine. The eastern
press is sadly astray and misleads the
public on the situation here.
• The establishment of a$500,000 fac-

sugar in Canada, it is said, will shortly
be undertaken by American capital-
ists, who are working in the interests
of an Ottawa syndicate. The factory
will be located in Ontario. and will, it
is fetid, be capable of handling daily
500 tons of beets. • It is said that it
will be necessary to pay $250,000 out
every season to the farmers to be used
for the purpose of feeding the cattle.

Huron oia Boys.
Had one of the old Chiefs a the his-
torical red.skipned Hurons dropped in-
to Webb's perigees Toronto, Friday
night he would leeve seen the first
banquet of the Huron Old Boys' Asso.
dation made one or the most enjoyable
and successful reunions in. the history
cif "old -boy" eutertainments. Bot he
would have been puzzled over the Merltt
card. He woold have been amazed. at
the expressions. of mingled mirth and.
expectation that lightened up the faces
of• those present when they read of
Seaforth mock turtle soup, fillet of
Goderich cod, Waevanoth turkey with
Winghana sauce, sweetbreads of Elm -
ter, sirloile of Stephen beef, not forget-
ting the leg of Hullett lamb, and geuu-
in
Howick plum -pudding, maele more
acceptable by a smattering of Tucker -
smith sauce, There was also McKillop
lemon pie, and when tasting the Ila,y
and Grey cake, the Brussels nuts, the
Colborne apples, the Blyth grapes, the
Turnberry oranges and the Stanley
peas, one is convinced that there was
nothing fit to eat that did not come
from Huron. He Would have no idea
that as silver -streaked heads bent over
those Stanley peas thoughts were run-
ning away back to the time when
those same heads, then young and
towsy and borne by bare feet, used to
follow tiny. hands up the old russet,
tree that stood lie the corner where
liiae fence separated the orchard, from
the inarrow-fat pea patch, oot of
which those same skin -bare feet and
titly bands were often chased by the
neighbor's enterprising collie.
But the raisins from Ashfield, from

Lake Huron dashed her waves against

PATitUrrio TOASTS
The tonst list was in iceeping with
the spirit of patriotism that is being
_felt all over the Dominion.
**The Army, Navy and Volunteers,"
proposed by Mr D Weisiniller and re-
sponded to by Dr J E Elliott, was re-
ceived amid loud cheers and the pay-
img "The British Grenadiers," Mr.
eismiller spoke of the greatness of
the British Empire, of its power, and
its great grip of the secrets of coloniz-
ation. The success that in the past
has attended her ventures in that di-
rection should, he thought, justify her
in the stand she has taken in defend-
ing the Uitlanders of the Transvaal.
Mr. Elliott reviewed the war history
of Canada, dwelling upon the valor of
her solcliers and volunteers, and con-
cluding by expressing the wish that,
if neededa10,000 meix be sent to South
Africa instead of 2000.
Perhaps the moment of the evening
that, will remain longest in the memory
of the "Old Boys" was reached when
Mr. 3. S. Willis:en, as President, sub-
mitted for honorary membership of
the association, the name of Lieut.-
Ool. Otter, who, as every inhabitant
of Huron is proud to know, was born
in the Townihip of Stanley, a few
miles south ot the town of Clinton.
Mr. Willison spoke humorously of his
own early days of difficulty on a Hu-
ron farm, and seriously of the advan-
tages of an early country training
over that obtained within the hurry
and cramping influences of a city. The
references to the war and Col. Otter's
share in it were the occasion of the
greatest of enthusiasm of the evening,
Following, the Hon. A. M. Ross, who
sat in the place of honoral the Presi-
dent's right, was nominated by Mr. G
A. Smith for the Honontry Presidency
and accepted in a speech replete with
anecdotes of the early thirties in the
Huron tract, among which, of course,
the mune of Tiger, Dunlop rec.eived
frequent mention. Chief Justice Rob-
ertson came third on the list of honor-
ary members OD the nomination of
