SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, June 15th, 1900
The War.
The news from the seat of war in South
Africa has not been quite so encouraging
during the past week. - Soon after 'Lord
Roberts got comfortably settled in Pretoria,
the Boers made a special spurt, attacking
the British, treeint which were guarding the
railway -and telegra.ph connection between
Pretoria and the outside world, and captur-
ed the—entire force, numbering some five
hundred men and officers, and cut the tele-
graph wires and bps -re up the railway track
for about forty miles. They were not, how-
ever, permitted to enjoy the advantages of
their success for long, as Bi British detach -
'merit assaulted the invading army, capturing
the w.hole contingent and their outfit and
restoring telegraphic communication and
the railway will soon be reconstructed. In
_Natal, Buller's forces have met with con-
siderable opposition, but have shade steady
progrese, and now occupy the much coveted
Lang's Nek pees and Malaise, thus giving
him almost complete control of that whole
dietriet. There will still, no doubt, be
skirmishing for a time, as the Boers seem
determined to keep up a !guerilla warfare
and give all the trouble they can; but, sur-
rounded as they now areon all sides, their
total subjugation can only be a matter of a
few weeks. and the war ia now praeticall y
ended,. It is reported that there is a great
deal oit sickness among the Canadian troops,
and some deaths have been reported. There
is yet -no otficial word of their return home,
The British Columbia Embroglio:'
The British Colu.mbia Prc.vincial elections,
which took place on Saturday last, created
more than. ordinary interest in this Prov-
ince, by reason of the gornewhat peculiar.
circumstances under which the dissolution
took place. It will be remembered that
Lieutenant -Governor McInnis dismissed his
Government, although they had the support
of a majority of the Legisheture, and called
upon Mr. Joseph Martin, at the time a
member of the Opposition, although shortly
previouely a member of the Government,
to form a new Government. For some time
Mr. Martin was VIE GOyERNMENT, as he
experienced some difficulty in securing col-
leagues, and he, himself, was the only mem-
ber. Ultimately, however, he succeeded in
filling up his Cabinet, when the Legislature
was dissolved and a new election ordered.
Mr. Martin, the head of the new Govern-
ment, made a brave fight, but he has not
succeeded as well as most people thought he
would. Only eight of his supporters in the
Legislature have been elected. The remain-
ing thirty -seats are filled by opponents. It
is evident, therefore, that Mr. Martin will
not be able to carry on the Governrnent, and -
he mit resign as soon as .the Legislature
meets, if kie holds on. that long. Two of his
,colleagUes' have also been defeated. Mr:-
Szni/th Curtis, one of the leading members of
his Cabinet, was elected for Rossland, de-
feating lion. Charles JAI. cIntosh, ex -Lieuten-
ant -Governor of the Northwest territories,
and D. former' prominent Ontario politician.
But, although the Martin Government will
not be able- to weather the storm, it is
doubtful if any single faction of his oppon-
ents can mutter strength -enough. to form a
Governtnent that will comme. and majority
of the Legislature; and the prabability is
that another election will have to be held
before things are leveled up to ii working
point. Some are hoping that a combination
may be formed between two or more of the
factions, so - as to torn a party strong
enough to carry on the business of the couti-
try, Possibly thisrmay be accomplished.
However, any Government that may he
formed, with Martin in opposition, is likely
to have a hot time af it, and no Government
with him in it can getf along unless all the
other membere efface themselves and permit
hun to run the whole machine. Fighting
Joe is a troublesome element, wherever he
is founds - In the larger arena of Dominion
polities lid was not so prominent a figure,
as in the " Dominion Pediment there were
men who had the alsility to keep him in his
place, but, he is too big a man for a Provin-
cial Governmont, especially birch as they
have in the newer Provinces.
Another interesting feature in connection
with the affair is the future fate of the
Lieutenant -Governor. Had bis action in
dismisaing jiie former advisers been sanc-
tioned by the electors in the election of the
Martin Government, he would be thus justi-
fied, but in the defeat of Martin, hie course
has been. condernned, and in a constitutional
sense the supposition is that he must also
go. The situation is a very interesthig one,
and the outcome will be eagerly awaited.

eion is a farce." That is the one appointed

It, is said that there is scarcely an old
family in England , without relative or con-
nection among the members of the batallion
of Yeomanary captured by the Boers, near
Linsley, in South Africa, last week. One
section of the force, the Duke of , Cam.
bridge's Own Companies, is known as." The
_
'Millionaires." One of theirtentshad an
aggregate income Of £80,000 a year. They
supplied their oWn horses and kit. Yet,
judging from the reports they accepted
drudgery and underwent hardships with as
good grace as all uncultured - "Tommy."
While on the way o the Cape a transport
officer, seeing one of these millionaires swab-
bing the decks in a gale, said: " You seem
to have good sea legs, my man." The reply
was: "1 have kept a yacht for the last ten
years, sir."
• —
Already the wad. in South Africa has cost
an enormous sum 4f money, and the end is
s
not yet. It has been' estimated that 'IP to
the end of March the sum of £114,000,000
had been spent by, Great Britain in the at-
tempt to subdue 1 the unruly Boers. The
good this would de has been well lsummed

tain every aged poor person in the -United
Kingdom, educate all our millions of chil-
dren, support all our paupers, replace every
pound spent throughout the kingdom on
every form of m asionary and charitable
i
work, endow all o r hospitals;support every
church and chapel with their ten thousands
of Ministers, maintainthousands-of convales-
cent homes, libraries and museums, equip
and support thous nds of technical schools,
pay for an army o 50,000 missioaarles, sup-
ply coals, blanket and medical comforts to
millions, and stil leave millions more to
spe d for similar vorks of usefulness." Add
to t is the eost of tjhe American war in Ciba,
Por o Rica and the Philippines,'and the sum
whi h has been worse than wasted in war by
the two most highly civilized countries in
the world during tie past two years Will be
of aistounding pro ortious.
Ii referring to the great significance of
the South Africai war, the. Westminster
dir eta special att ntion to the following as
bei g among the kiiore promteent results,
demonstrating as they do the mighty re.
sources of the Bri ish Empire : "The evi-
dence it furnishes o all foreign, net to Bey
hos ile, powers of the military strength of
the British Empire. The achievement' of
mo ilizing an army of 200,000 men trans-
por ing it 7,000 niiles to the seat .0 war,
tra sforming it largely from an infan ry to
a cevalry force, co pleting in a few nlionths

sari t, and re -building with extraordinary
rapidity tornup railways and dynamited

complished without any but inciden al as-
sietttnce from a navy which is qsiite a match

out straining to any great extent the finan-
ces f the United Kingdom."
