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. The Taranto Mail says " The Commis- eion is a farce." That is the one appointed hy the Dominion (I ()veronica for the en (atiry in to eieetion irregulerities.

The Mail had better play on some other string, this one don't sound well. 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 , up by a contemperary. Ili" . would main- 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."
