A. despatch from London, Eng.. says :-London is on the eve of the !greatest, crusade against vice in its P history. More than a. thousand pro- , rumens persons, representing every ;borough in the metropolis. have as- ,sociatad themselves together ler the purpose of repressing public , im- morality, disorderly houses, obscene , language, pernicious pictures, pub- lications and plays. Among the active supporters of the movement ' are Lord Roberts turd Lord Wolseley, the Bishop of London, Lord Kin- nnird ArchbishopVaughan,Arch- deacon Wilberforce, Si • W H • Broadbent, MD.. Sh• Dyee Duck- worth, M.1,)„ Sir Douglas Fox, Canon Gore, anh Rev. Hugh Price 'Hughes. Out of 1,310 borough councillors a13 are already pledged to support the crusade programme. Twenty- nine centres of work have been open- ed, covering the whole of London. The police have modified their Lit- - titude towards vice under scrutiny. 'The sympathy of the magistrates Irma been enlisted, and they have promised to enforce the law with in - severity, The opening gun of the crusade was fired on Tuesday, when a peti- tion was presented to the Westmeans- * y Council, signedy sixty o the foremost personages in the king- dom, praying that an aggressive campaign against social immorality be begun. Bishop Alfred Barry, vice-chair- man of the movement, said : "The social sins and misery of London have a firm hold on the community. Unabashed and aggressive immoral- ity has assumed the dimensionsaof a. vested interest, aninternation- ald aninternation- altrade, While we do not profess to be able to eorepass the suppreSSion of immorality, we hope, with the help of God, to redeem London from the reproach of being an open mar- ket for body and soul." The promoters of the crusade an- nounce their readiness to provide homes for urtfortunate, women will- ing to earn an honest livelihood. S ALL ACCOUNTED FOR. ow Prominent Boers Are Now i n the Field.

Kock was killed. Out of 27 members of the first Volksra,ad, thirteen are ac- counted for. Barnard, Lal3uschagne, and Malan have been killed.

Seventy-five per cent, of the sub- heads of departments are accounted for THI3 01)HIR CAN MAKE IT. No Reason to Vear- Delay in Arrival at Halifax. . A despatch from Ottawa says: - The report which comes from Quebec to the effect that the Royal party cannot reach that port on the Ap- pointed day, Sept, 16th, is discredit- ed, here. It is pointed out that the 12 -knot transport on which the se-. cowl contingent sailed, to South. Af- rica, made the voyage to Cape Town from Halifax in 26 days, after cal- ling at Cape Verde, As the Ophir is capable of a sea -going speed of at least 3,5 knots, she should be able to meae the voyage in about 21. days, which would allow the Royal party three days more to reach Quebec on the /6th of September. Ottawa's reception committee has agreed upon the following mottoes of welcome to be displayed along the Royal progress through the capital: "Welcome"; "The New Partnership, Great and Greater Britain"; "Mem- bees of the Firm of John Bull and Sone': "Canada's Capital by Vic- toria's Choice"; "A Loyal People Weleonms Its Ring's Son"; aelis Head Umeellowed. but His Judg- ment Ripe"; "Ottawa Welcomes the Royal Duchess"- "Le Bien -venue"; "Ottawa Souiraite Dienvenue Leurs Altesses'a "Digo Protege le Rol"; Souhaits do Loogue Vie a Nos Farms Souverains," The Mottoes are to be painted on blue cloth. The Goveranient, according to re- port, are spending money laVisilly in anticipation of the Duke's visit, The expenditure of the Department Of Public Works wilt be somewhere in the neighborhood of two bundred thousand dollars all over Canada,. The Militia, Department will spend about the same amount. and the out- lay of the various other departments will bring the total up to near the half Million mark. The Government paint shops are taxed to their fullest calamity, and coats Of arms. etc., are being turned out by the dozen. Major Forrester, of tho Royal Cam titian Dragoons, was in Ottawa. on Friday, raid along with Colonel Pin- wale, Deputy Minister of Militia. and Col. Aylmer, adjutant-generel, in- speeted a parade of the horses which are to do duty for the staff of His Royal Highness when here. The an- imals presented a llne appearance. though it Las apparently not been feasible to obtain enough black hor- ses for the requirements of the occa- sion. Some of the charger's are bay. and one is dappled gray, and their Stills are to he docked. BLOCKHOUSES ATTACKED. The Boers Were Eventually Forced to Retire. A deepatch from Cape Town says ; ' The Boers made two night attacks on the blockhouses near Naauwpoort Cape Colony. The first was ably re- pulsed, but subsequently Lotteer's men made a bold attack five miles north of Numnepoort, and the block- houses received a. baptism of are. The British troops behaved excel- • lently. Armored trains arrived on the scene with Maxim guns and searchlights, anti strong infantry re- arforeements were also sent. The searchlights played on the rugged hills, and the Maxims and rifles poured in showers of lead wherever; It was thought the Boers might be; lurking. The Boers were forced to retreat. +-- TERRIBLE TRGEADY. Boy Killed at Vankleek Hill Blowing Up Mimic Fort.

IRE AND SEEK, Hitcherter'S Work Anton the Seat.. .tered COMManateee. A despatch from London says: - Tao game of bide and reek goes .on in South Africa, with 'small :racemes scored from week to Week by the British Army. General Kitchener's .estimate that there' Were 18,500 Deers in arms early in. July is re- (t- raced by recent weekly reports to a little over 10,000. Where the frag- ments of commandoes making up this aggregate are is a. mystery. The largest- hostile force is in the Eastern TaanaVata, but prebabaly it does not exceed eight hundred Burghers. Scheeper's commando is the only one south of time Orange river. and Gen. French is operating against it. Mate zinger and Weasels have been rein- forced In the latmetter district by the bands which Knox was driving through the Graeae laver Colony, but this combated Boer force is about four hundred men. This force will be between two fires. but Will probably escape by subdividing and scattering the commanOces, as has often been done before in the same section by Pe Wet, Olivier, and other Boer Generals.
