All the Canadian Troops Were in
the Thick of it.
The London Daily Exp. ion publishes
a despatch derieribing the crossing of
the Zand River by the Braid* It
says ;,-,
"The rear guard of the Boers, with
their guns, resisted the advance; The
mounted infantry, tvvo battdries, and
pom-poms, cleared the way, and the
third cavalry brigade acted as .a
screen before the main column. Gen.
Fresch was on the left, and Gen.
Hamilton on the right. The Boers
had destroyed all the bridges during
their retreat.
"Et is impossible to ascertain the
Hoer losses, but they are thought 'to
he heavy. Those of the Baitishacon-
sidering the importent Elite:nice made,
are considerea light." „
A special despatch from Riet,Spruit,
describing more fully Weanesdayet
successful operations, saysz-
"Gen Hamilton's notate had ou two
previous days ascertained the Boers'
position and strength. 'On Wednesday
night the Cheshire Regiment crossed
the river, entrenehed themselves, and
prepared to hold the passege for thd
regiments following them.
. MOUNTED INFANTRy'S HOT
FIGHTING.
" Alt • daybreak on Tharsday the
main body crossed at two or three
points. The !mounted infantry were
,then in action, driving off the ad-
vance Boers preparatory to a general
forward movement. The Boer right
„first gave way, hut Tacker and Ham-
eltan had a tofigher Leek on the left.
Tam Boers had six guns and served
Wean well, working with great deter-
neination, but the British worked tip
closer and closer, their guns meantime
firing incessantly,
" The East L,antashire and Sussex
R 'ments by eleven o'clock had work -

ven, and like a aleph tbe two regi-
ments sprang forward .simultaneous-
ly, awl in a few moments had seoured
two commanding ridges.
"The advance' line wets now within
twelve hundred yards of the Boers'
main trenches, and the latter were al-
ready losing heart from the demon-
stration on their flank, but they kept
up a rapid, though wild fire.
"At this moment the final charge
• was ordered, and away went the Lan-
. °Rehires an& the Sussex Regiment

:and they fairly bolted ; and the rout

4ytham the lone voyager mast guard
Last year, he says, the man who
went eat with the first mail after
the closing of the river, fell in with
a traveler, hungry and cold, stumbling
along the unbroken trail. The mes-
senger took pity on him, shared his
food with him, made a fire and vvarm-
ed his half -frozen body.
All day they travelled ovei the ice,
and at night the messenger made the
man lie down to sleep, while he watoh-
ed, to scare the wolves away and keep
the fire burning. It was long past
midnight when he woke the sleeper
apd asked him to watch, so that he
hionself might snatch a nap before
setting out again on the loeg journey.
The messenger was sleeping sound -
when he was startled by a blow :on
the head. •He leaped up, and was
territied to find that his companion
was • standing over him, striking at
him with an axe. -
The messenger dropped to one side
end threw off his sleeping -robe and
the fur 'cap that had saved his life.
Then the would-be 'murderer was
plaiuly embarrassed. To be sure, he
had the axe, but it is not so easy to
kill a onan, when be is looking. He
hesitated, and in that secoria the
messenger conceived a brilliant
thought.
"Ah, poor old chap!" said he, pathe-
tizally, es one conciliates a snarling
dog. "Cold and hunger have driven
him crazy'!"
The man let the axe fall. He al-
most smiled. It was so well to be out
of a nasty job! Yes, he would be
crazy. Appearing to forget the mat-
ter, he left the axe .where it had fall..
en, and began to rummage in the
grub -sack. Tbe dogs awoke, .and the
two men breakfasted and started
long before the dawn. That day the
messenger carried the axe, and in-
sisted that the madman should walk
in front..
At the next mounted police station,
tbe man, math to Ins surprise, was
banded over to the officer in charge,
Now his efforts to play "crazy" were
a end failure. He was taken to Daw-
son. tried and sentenced to foutteen
years' Imprisonment.

Orleans, who governed France daring

speaks of her own appeaiance and
manners:
"From me' earliest years I was

ahould look at me attentively. I never
paid any attention to dress, because
diamonds and dress. were sure to at-
tract attention. Qs( great days ray

of my ovvp teglipess. I must bave been
yea, ugly in my youth. I had no sort

a short snub nose, anti long thick lips,
the whole of iny physiognomy was far

"My face was large, with fat cheeks,
and iny fjgare wee short and stumpy;
in shoat, I wag e very homely sort of

'the Yukon district, received $6,000 a
year salary, 02,000 for living expenses,
$60 per month for housekeeper, and
$250 a month for rent. Mr. W,. P.
Clementa as eegal adviser for the Yu-
kon district, received 02,500 a year
prior to June 18th, 1899, and 10,000
a year since that date, together with
0100 a month for living expanses.
Mr. Monk was told by Mr. Blair that
it is not the intention ot the Govern-
ment to increase the salaries of look -
men em ed on th L h' C 1,
nor is it the intention to give them
any more extra pay than they now re-
ceive when their services are required
for Sunday work. Thera is no regula-
tion obliging lookinasters to attention
the canala on Sundays, but such at-
tendence is optional. The lockmen are
paid at the rate of $30 per ,month.
Sir Hibbert Tupper was told by Mr.
Sutherlatid that the Departuient of
the Interior has not yet received any
reply to the telegram sent to gr.
Ogilvie asking for 'his report on the
Yukon •territories.
Mr. Davin was told by Mr. Sather-,
land that the Order -in -Colman provid-
ed that claims in the Yukon when
abandoned shall revert to the Crown
,dated October 7th, 1899, The order
provides that after having reverted
theyshall be disp,osed of as may Seem
right to the Minister of the Interior.
This records of the department do not
show, that any of these claims have
been disposed of except such of them
as leave been tneludeti In hydraulio pro-
positions. ,
Mr. Caegrain was told by Mr. Mu -
lock that the system of receiving'and
delivering mail by. naeans of books or
brackets while the train is running
full speed has been in operation for
about a year at several stations on the
Intereoloinal. At first some of th,e
mail bags were injured through defec-
tive donstruction of the brackets, Wet
this has ranee been remedied.
Mr. Puttee was told by Mr,. Muloak
that for the week ending 7th April,
19a0, there were 87,170 letters handled
in the Winnipeg post -office. At this -
rate the nuraber handled during the
year would be 4,445,292.
COLD SIORAGE CONTRACTS,
The House went into committee on
Mr. Fisher's resolution authorizing the
Government to renew with Messrs.
Allan and Redford Company the cold -
storage contracts for this season 'and
next, the amoant not to exceed 028,750
per annum.
Mr, Fisher explained that the orig-
inal contract for three years was en-
tered into four years ago,. and that
it expired last season. Owing to the
South African war and the consequent
rate demanded for steamships, there
was a danger of the cold storage ves-
sels being monopolized by Americans,
and it was therefore necessary to tea -
new the ecnitracit. He regretted, how-
ever, that he had not been able to get
as favourable terms as in the contract
whieh had lapsed last year.
The resolution was reported,.
EXHLBITORS SHOULD WITHDRAW.
Mr. Charlton called attention toMr,
Tarte's despatch regarding the refusal
of the Paris commissionera to permit
tire Sunday closing of the Canadian ex.,
hibits. He wanted to know the char..
aoter of the protest which Canada had
made, and why it was that it had been
neffeetual. while the United States
had been granted the concession..
The Minister of A,griculture replied
that the Elritish commissioners had
made every effort to secure that the
Canadian exhibits should be closed an
Sunday, but they had failed, and the
only portion of the exhibit which
would be so closed was the building in
which the Canadian offices were, the
major portion of the exhibits being
n the ganeral buildings. Ile did not
know whether the concession had been
granted to the 'United States.
Mr. McMullen add the country
would be greatly disappointed at the
Minister's announcement. He thought
Canada should withdraw from the ex-
hibition altogether and bring her ex-
hibits home.
The subject dropped. .
