stated to be corruk scatters five and ten
lowing for saki seats, which mean a trifling
expenditure, it may be stated witheut the
alightest exaggelatiori, that four hundred
eandidetes spend on &n averag,e of $1,500
apiece in the course of a campaign, a sum
aggregating $600,000. This, with the
$200,000 official expense, the amount ex-
pended from the central campaign funds
bring the main disbursements 'of an election
up to little short of a million dollars, and
the amount coincidehtly spent on harbors,
railways and public baildinge, shows plainly
that cash is being freely spent in the period
of elections. i
During the past fewaveeks so much atten-
tion has been given te politics and the is- :
(Mee involved in the (+preaching Dominion
elections that people I generally have not
thoeght so much a.baut how things were
going in South Africa and China. In South
Africa, the war is stillidragging along. The
remnant of Boers stilllin the field are still
aPtive, and are giving a good deal of trouble
to the British forces inl the way of raiding
sniping and obstructing railway and tele-
graphic communicatioie wherever they ca,n
get on opportunity. Only a few days ago a
considerable force, under the well known
outpost with great vlgot, and were only
driven back after seveial casualties in the
British forces. In thlis engagement, how-
ever, the Boers were ultimately so hardly
pressed that they ha& to abandon two of
their guns, several wr4;ins of -provisions and
amunition, which wera taken possession of
by the British. They also had several
killed and many wounded. This is the only
engagement of any acchunt that has taken
piece recently. Lord Roberts is now using
merestringent means rith the recalcitrant
Beers, and where any ere found to be giving
aid or shelter to the reaels, they are severe-
ly punished, either by being made,prisoners
or, having their houses and property burned.
This is having a salutory influence in keep•
ing them in check. How long this sort of
thing is likely to continue, it is 'impossible
to, say. Oce -n Paul Kruger has left his
depes in the Transvaal Ito their fate, and has
taeen himself to some quiet Eeropean re-
treat, where he will likely spend the re•
meinder of his days. ,General Buller hat
left South Africa for Eegland, and it is re-
ported that Lord Roberts will follow in De-
c.erriber, and that the c .ipmand of the army
Powell. A large number of the Canadian
y(
wail be left with Ketehener and Baden-
vounteers have .returned home, their term
ereble number have determined to see the

ar becoming reconciled to British rule,

n China, there is noemuch change in the
sit ation. There is s411 a great unrest
ameng the people, altheugh there has not
recently been any fighting between the na-
tiv and allied forces. he various powers
are carrying on a game among themselves,
in which each is tryin to checkmate the
other, each is jealous and distrustful alike of
his neighbor. At length, however, a dual
alliance has been entered into between
"Britain and -Germany, iti which they agree
to uphold the princiales of open ports,
and open trade in i China, and to
" direct their policy towards retaining un-
diminished territorial cendition of the Chi-
nese Empire, and to take such steps as they
deem fit for the protectibn of their own in-
terests in China in case pf any other power

obtain, under any forin whatever, terri-
torial advantages." The United States is.
