EDITORIAL JOTTINGS,
Winnipeg, the capital a£ the Province
of Manitoba, is a wonderful city, Dfbtle
over 20 years ago it was only thougqht, to
be a leading post in emanation with bho
enormous lzueiness carried on by the
Hudson's Bay Co., whose commotion with
the West dates beaks to 1800, and yet to-
day Winnipeg countslhor inhabitants over
35,000, and within its limite, which are
not hampered by any means, are to bo
fotmd fine ebreete and avepllee, imposing
and well built blocks, a No, 1 electric
street railway, ohurohoe, schools, colleges,
hospitals, Parliament and other public
buildings that would be a credit to any
city whose ydare numbered up to a
century. The site of the city ra well
chosen, being the confluence of the well
known Red and Assioiboino rivers; both
of which are navigable, and where either:
'is spanned by a bridge itis constructed
on the drawbridge plan 00 as to avoid
contliot with the shipping interests.
Since the three lines of railway, entering
Winnipeg have Dome into operation nevi-
l'ation has well nigh ceased, owing to the
engthened journeys as compared with
the direct rail routes on account of : the
winding of the rivers. The early settlers
have many a story to toll of their pioneer
journeyson the •noble, Red when they
sought out the capital• The growth of
the city has been steady and of a per-
manent ohmmeter and although traces of
the injury done by the boom of 12 or 15
years ago are visible Winnipeg has be-
come the groat metropolis of the. West,
possessing as it does the position of gate-
way to Manitoba and the Northwest,
Surrounding the city is a floe tract of
land, but as muah of it is held by specu-
lators, who rate it at boom prices, a large
ro ortion of ti -to farm lands remain
proportion
and give visitors a false impres.
sion until thereat reason for this state of
affairs is ascertained. This drawback
will soon effect its own cure, we have no
doubt.
Main street is 182 feet wide, and, along
with a member of other streets and
avenues, is block paved. On this street
are fine blocks not surpassed in Toronto.
or Montreal, and the vohune of business
transacted is something :wonderful.
Wanting, as compared with many cities,
fn large manufactories, it oocapies a
foremost place for commercial enterprise
and the number and character of the
booking houses, Loan and Investment
companies, Insurance institutions, to say
nothing of wholesale and retail places of
business, is a genuine surprise to many a
Canuck on their first visit.
Taking the street oar South we pass
through what was formerly Fort Garry,
0110 large gateway being the only evidence
of the bygones, and on through Fort
Rouge, where.: a number of extra good
residences have been erected, we soon
arrive ab Elm Park, a favorite and most
popular resort, situate 011 the bank of the
Red river. Here is a beautiful grove, au
assembly hall, swings, merry-go-round,
lunch tables, refreshment rooms and the
other etceteras that go to make up a
model, modern breathing place outside of
the city. Pio-Dios aro held almost daily
during the Summer season at this place.
Fort Garry Park and theExhibition Park
are also well looated and receive a goodly
share of patronage in connection with the
various and numerous clubs and sporting
oirolos in the oity.
Splendid aahool buildings attest the
interest manifested in edaccatioual
matters, while the commodious cburohes,
whose architectural construction is a
marvel of beauty, prove that the spiritual
as well as the intellectual is not over-
looked. Several new churches are being
built this season.
Winnipeg hotels appear to be well ap-
pointed and carefully conducted and
whether you pot up at the great "Mani-
toba," into whose very centre the North-
ern Pacific runs, or take something a
little more in keeping with a poor man's
wallet, every attention necessary is be-
stowed on the guests. We believe there
are 58 hotels and saloons within. the
limits, burin our stay we saw no person
the worse of liquor.
The city water supply Domes from the
Assiniboine river, running through en-
ormous filtering machines at the water-
works :looated at Armstrong's Point,
which, by the way, is 0310 of the prettiest
parts of the oity.
The daily press does credit to the
capital. The Tree Press . occupies much
the same position in Winnipeg and the
West that the : Toronto Globe does in
Ontario and in its morning and evening
editions gives a fair synopsis of the latest
news of the world. The Tribune, an
evening daily, has done good work during
the past 4 years and is widely read by
the Winnipeggers. W. F. Luxton, for
many years editor-in-ohief on the Free
Press, is at the head of anew daily oalle•4
the Nor' Wester, which represents the
Conservative side of politics. It is' a very
readable journal. Added to this aro a
number of Icelandic, German and Swed-
ish weeklies, one of the latter bearing the
euphonious but somewhatelongated Name
of Skaudinavislre Canadiepsaven.Sev-
oral college;- church, commercial and
society journals are also issued, oonspi-
oueus among the last named being ,Battu:-

M1 genial and popular E. W. Rugg. The

Notwithstanding the dull' times.' build
in operations have been lively during the
past Summer, the now structures being
chiefly residences. More attention is
given to both foundation and building
bhau in earlier years and as a couseguenee
a bettor class of houses. Many Valuable
corner lots aro still held by speculators
who have, up to the prosect, retarded
that compactness of growth noticeable in
all large places. '

There are 30 churches. and 16 or 18
public schools in Winnipeg, about 80
teachers being engaged in the instruction

On the road to Kilclonan we stopped off
at St. John's, where is looated a oathedral
and college. In the cemetery here lies
the body of Hon. John Norquay, who
played an important part in the political
arena for many years. A fine monument,
the gift of the city, marks his last resting
place. Another point of interest in the
cemetery is the graves of the seven
Fish Creek boys who lost their lives in
the battle with the halfbreeds in
1885. Their names are Ellis, Wheeler,
Swinford, Ferguson, Code, Hardisty and
Fraser. The graves are carefully looked
after and fresh flower wreaths placed
there every few clays during the Summer.
season.
Immediately across the Red river from
Winnipeg is St. Boniface, whose popula-
tion, of upwards of 1,500, is chiefly
French Roman Catholic. A wooden
bridge, owned by the Hudson's Bay Co.,
and a new iron bridge, the property of a
private corporation, span the river.
Toll, at the rate of 2 cents a head is
charged and this is the only place where
copper ooins are seen in the oity. At St.
Boniface is located the R. 0. cathedral.
with its chime of bells, Bishops residence,
convent, orphanage and hospital In the
latter more than one Brusselite found the
ministrations of the sisters all that could
be desired while ill away from home and
friends. In the cemetery lie the remains
of the somewhat notorious Louis Rail,
who paid the death penalty for treason
on the scaffold at Regina. When St.
Boniface becomes apart of Winnipeg, as
it undoubtedly will, some of the finest
building sites within its corporation will
come into the market.
What the future of Winnipeg may be
is beyond human ken but one thing is
certain it is destined to beoome a great
city, having within itself public 'spirited
citizens and organizations whose best
endeavors will be to forward itsexpausion

A Central News dispatoh from Seoul,
dated Sept. 16th, 0 p, m., says a battle
liar been fought ab Ping Yang between
the Chinese and Japanese troops in wbioh
the former were utterly routed. On
Thureday a Japanese column from Pang
San made a reconnoitre in force, drawing
the fire of the Ohineso forte, and thus
ascertaining their positions. The column
then fell back in good order with little
loss. By Friday night all the Japanese
were in position for combined attack up-
on the enemy. The Genoa column
threatened the left flame of the Chinese,
the Pong San oolumn threatening the.
Chinese center, while the H,vana,Ju col-
umn operated against the right, ,which
had been reinforced the day before by a
cletaohment of marines from the fleet at
the mouth of the Tailong River. The
Chinese had utilized the old deeenoee at
Ping, Yang and had thrown upnew works
making the position an excepbionelly
strong one. The battle, was opened on

GENERAL.. CONFERENCE,
The report 00 the Committee on Oen.
forenae Boundaries was read by Cyrus A.
Birge. This reported that It was desir-
able to reduce the number of conferences
from six to five, the division submitted
being as follows ;
Conference Na 1.-15 districts; com-
posed of London, St. Thomas,- Aylmer,
Chatham, Windsor, Ridgebown, Exeter,
St. Marys, Stratford, • Goderieh, leinoar•
dine, Wiugham, Listowel, Str'athroy and
Sarnia districts ; 283 ministers, 40 pro-
bationers ; total, 278, and 48,182 mem-
bers.
Conference No. II. -14 districts, com-
posed of Hamilton, St. Catharines,Hil-
ton, Brantford, Woodstock, Guelph, Galt,
Palmerston, Mount Forest, Walkerton,
Wierton, Norwich,-Simcoe and Welland
'districts ; 222 ministers, 54 probationers ;
total, 27$, and 43,581 members.
Conference No. 111.-13. districts ; com-
posed of Toronto East, Toronto Centro,
Toronto West, Brampton, Uxbridge,
Bradford, Orangeville, Barrie, Colling-
wood, Owen Sound, Bracebridge, Parry
Sound and Algoma districts ; 226 min-
isters, 48 probationers ; total, 273, and
39,026 members.
Conference No. IV, -18 districts ;-oom-
pnosed of. Belleville, Napanee, Pioton,
Brighton, oobourg, Bowmanville, Whit-
by, Cannington, Lindsay, Peterborough,`
Oampbellford, Madoe and Tamworth
districts ; 180 ministers, 20 probationers ;
total, 209, and 88,345 members.
Conference No. V.-18 disbricbs ; corn -
posed of Montreal, Kingston, Brookville,
Matilda, Perth, Pembroke, Nipissing,.
Sudbury, Ottawa, Quebec, Stanstead,
Waterloo and Huntingdon districts ; 210
ministers, 45 probationers ; total, 255,
and 87,568 members.
The vote was taken and resulted in 107
for the reduction and 41 against it.
There was necessary for the passing of
the motion 98, being a two-thirdmajoriby,
so that the change was ordered by a
comfortable majority.
The order of the day being called, the
Conference proceeded to elect General
Conference officers.
The first election was that of General
Superintendent. Rev. A. Carman was
re-elected by a large majority. The vote
stood :—Dr. Carman, 180 ; Dr•Potts, 28 ;
Dr. A. Sutherland, four ; Dr. Ryckman,
three, and several of one each.
Dr. Carman made some fitting remarks
of acknowledgment of the honor bestowed
upon him. He referred to an item which
had appeared in the papers with regard to
the amount granted for expenses connect-
ed with his office. It bad been asked
why, if such general grant was made for
travelling expenses, did he receive his
expenses when he visited charges and
circuits on special occasions? When the
general ual
conferences from B British Columbia erintendent visits the to the
Maritime Provinces and Bermuda Is-
lands, there was not much of the general
grant left, and no allowance was made
for official expenses or clerk hire or post-
age. To one who thinks about it this way
will form a sufficient answer to the dis-
satisfied.
The next election was for Book Stew-
ard. Rev. Dr. Briggs wasre-elected by
the following vote :—Dr. Briggs, 204;
Rev. H. S. Matthews, 8 ; and several one
eaoh.
A good deal of interest was shown in
the election of an editor for the Christian
Guardian. The fust ballot resulted in no
election. The vote stood :—Dr. Dswart,
83 , Rev. A. C. Gourds*, 89 ; Rev. J. W.
Annie, 14 ; Rev. Dr. Rose, 11 ; Rev. Dr.
Ryokman, 6 ; and a number of names 1
each ; 100 were necessary to an election.
The second ballot stood :-214 votes
oast, 108 necessary for an election :—Rev.
A. 0. Courtice, 123 ; Rev. Dr. Dewar-,
87 ; Rev. J. W. Annie, 4. Rev. A. 0.
Courtioe was therefore declared elected.
Rev. Dr. Withrow was re-elected editor
of the Methodist Magazine 'and S. S.
publications by a nearly unanimous vote.
The next election was for missionary
secretary. Rev. Dr. Sutherland received
189 votes ; Rev. T. G. Williams, 37, with
a number of scattering votes. Dr. Suth-
erland was declared elected.
Rev. Dr. Sutherland was elected clerical
treasurer of the Missionary Society, and
Hon. J. 0. Aikins lay treasurer.
The election of Secretary of Education
did not cause mulch excitement, for the
resnlb was foreseen. Dr. Potts Was re-
elected.
The Committee on Conference Boun-
daries will recommend that Conference
No. 1, as formed the other day, shall be
named London ; No. 2, Hamilton ; No.

At 8 o'olook in the morning ' an attack
was made by the Japanese columns sine
nitaneonely and with admirable precis-
ion, The Chinese lines, which were so
strong in front, were found to be weak in
the rear, and here the attack was a per-
fect success. The Chinese were complete.
ly taken by surprise and were thrown'
into a panic. Hundreds were out down
and those who escaped death, finding
themselves surrounded at every point,
broke and fled. Some of Viceroy Li
Ohaug's European drilled troops stood
their ground to the eastward and were

The Pong San column, swarming over
the defences in front, completed the
route. An hour after the attack was
opened the positions in Ping Yang were
in the possession of the Japanese. . It is
estimated that about. 20,000 Chinese
soldiers were engaged in the battle. The
Japanese captured immense stores of
provisions, monitions of war and bnn-
dreds of colors.

is estimated at 16,000 killed, wounded
and taken prisoners, Among those.
captured by the Japanese are several of.
the Chinese commanding officers, includ-
ing Gen. Teo Fong, commander -in -Chief
of the Manchurian army, who was serious-
ly wounded. The Japanese lova is only
30 killed and 270 wounded, including 11,

the Japanese occurred during the first
day's fighting, and very few wore the re.
