A convention of the Liberals of West Huron, ati constituted for Dominion pur- poses, has been called to meet at Dungan- non, at 1 o'clock on Friday, August 24th, to select a candidate for the House of Com. mon& Although there is not rnuoh dotibt as to who the successful candidate will .be o it is nevertheless easential that every part of the riding should be repreeented, and in -this way let the Liberals show that they are ready for the fray, and that they are bound_to win. With a good cause and a good candidate, and a shoulder to ehoulder effort, they should andowilltwin, The Wars. There is not mucth to record this week, either from South Africa or China. In South Africa hostilities are still being con. tinned en 5 small scale. The British forces are continually raking in stray Boers and Boor suppliee, while Kitchener and Meth une are gradually but surely drawing the neb mere closely around Christian DeWet, the leading Boer commander, and ex -Governor Steyr], who is with him, and from reports, their escape is almost impossible. But the wiley Boer leaier hue been in tight corners several times already, and just at the time when the British commanders thought they had him, they diecovered to their mortifica. tion that he had slipped through the meshes of the net and had gone to other parts. may be the same this time. However, it safe to say thet the capture or surrender DeWet will practically' end the war, as he about the only Boer commanaler left wh has any vitality. It is also said that Stey is kept under surveyla.nce by DeWet, h encampment, 'eat he surrenders to th British. Dr, G. 8. -Ryerson, wbo was i charge of the Canadian Red Cross corps, ha returned to Toronto, end many invalided Canadian soldiers are now on their way home from England, and othere 'are leavin South Africa for that point. There is D word yet of any of the Canadian contingent being relieved and returned home. In Chine, the allied forces are now march ing to Pekin, the Capital,hcnd according t accounts., they are not Meeting with ver setious oppoaition. The latest report show that the various foreign legations i Pekin are still holdieg out, but are in sa straits tor provisions and ammunition, an are not in shape to resist any serious attac on the part of the Chinese. It is now ale pretty certain that thus iar therchae been no massacre cif foreigners- as was reported. It is leered, however, that if the allied forces attack Pekin that a massacre of all the foreigners there will be attempted. All the Canadian missionaries of the eeveral denom- facitions and sects that havre: ben leboring in China have been heard from, and although many of them have been seriously attacked, and others have escaped °illy with their lives, so far as is known, none of them have been killed, and meet of them _are now en their way home. These is a report that the Chinese authorities have made proposale of peace, and if Ole prov'es true, it is possible that hostilities may be closed without ranch more fighting or bloodshed. .....2••••es•esa'ase„..s A Strong bimilarity. There seems to be a strong airnilarity be- ' tween the condition of the once great Liber- al party in England and the once great, Con. aervative party in -Canada. 13ut before tracing the similarity it will be just to note that the Liberal party in England went out of power clean and without one stain of corruption upon their escutcheon. We are sorry that we cannot say the same of the Conservative party in Canada. Whilethere were, undoubtedly, many honorable men nected with that party when it met with ownfall, the party, as a party, was °or- t to rottcnneee and had many bad scan- ts proven against it.

The night was intensely warm and the people turned out in remarkablyshort order. The fire is supposed to have started in the rear part of %V. C. Davis' general store. It soon spread to McArthur's bank on the west and to J. C. Stoneman's jewelry store on the east. The further spread of the fire eastward was prevented by the solid briek wall of the building occupied by Mr. Claw- son, and burned as far west as McEwen's brick block, where another brick wall as - slated 'in staying the flames. Fortunately the night was calm and lethat wind there was was blowing from the est, which aid- eitit edthe fire fighters to co trol the flames and prevent their further pnead. Ae it isf all the buildings destroyed t were of wood and will, 110 doubt, be replaced in a short time by more substantial and ornamental brick edifices f0 that ultimately the fire will prove a benefit instead of a detriment to the place. EverYthing on that side of the street was cleaned out from Cliturion's store to MoEwen's block. The total loss is estimated at about ten thousand &Haas and all parties are more or leas insured. Mr. J. C. Stoneman, who was one of the sufferers, is also village clerk, and as he was unabla to save the corporation books, the town council will have to make a new start, the assessment roll for this year, the by- law book and other public decuments hay- ing gone up in smoke. The citizens, ois;e and all, together with the fire brigade, worked like trogans to keep the flames from spreading, and as everything was so dry, the saving of the village from destruction may be attributed to the good work done in this direction and all have good reason to congratulate themselves that things! are no worse than they are and that our bright and . busy little town has again escaped so for- tunately from destruction. All those who were burned out will be in business again as soon as they can get suitable premises and we hope to see the burned district all built uP before the snow flies. So intense Was the heat that the plate glass windows on the opposite side of the street were broken an the paint on the •buildings blistered. LoeAL BRIEFS. —rvi r.
