SEAFORTH, FRIDAY, .A.4ust 3rd, 1900 The Wars. The eeene has rapidly changed in South Africe, From the rather gleorny netis _of last week, this week seems to be verging on a generel round up of the Boors. Generel Roberts, and his forces have been pressing, them hard, and each day has seen _a back wardmovement on the part of the enemy, and they very soon will have reached the limit, and will then have to fight for their lives or surrender unconditionally to the British forces. The past week has seen several small engagements, in which the Boers heve steadily lost ground. The most crushing of these defeats Waif 'delivered by General Hunter, who has dompelled Gen- erals Prinsloo, Villiere, and_ Crowther, to. gather With nearly one thousand men, to surrender with all arms. Another large contingent of the same force, at the last morrient, refused tO -surrender, and Jlunter was, consequently, ordered to conti ue hos- tilities till the last man of them hid laid down his gun, Baden-Powell has been sur- rounded, but his position is not considered serious Two more Uanadians have been reported dead. Alth6ugh still serious enough, the gloom which has ef late surrounded affairs in China, ia stemming a brighter hue. Word has again been received from the British Minister at Pek4i, and fromthatit is learned that on July 124nd the foreigners in Pekin ware still safe, It would seem, however, from the despetelies that the Chinese are really hold- ing the foreigners in Pekin as hostagea, in the hope that they may be able to Make more ainicable terms with the powers while their citizens are in danger. The advance of the f4liod forces on Pekin e said to have commenced. It is feared in some circles, however, that this movement may cost ,those who have been confined in Pekin their lives, ar the Chinese:win take this advance as a declaration of hostilities, and will im- mediately compel all foreigners to leave the city, which will practicadly be the same as handing them over to the Boxers. They hope in this way to relieve themselves of any responsibility. However, time alone will tell their fate. The Chinee is a wiley customer, and the Powers evidently think that concerted action is immediately neeee- sary. On the Russian frontier several en - gagements have taken- place between the Celestials and the Russians, and affairs in that quarter have a iterious look. From:the latest report about 70 foreigners had died in Pekin and eome ninety, had been wounded. • Ak present the bombardment of the legations has oeased,-an armistice having been pro- claimed. Go qd Testimony. At the annual meeting af the Ontario Al- liance for the suppression of „the] liquor traffic, hold last week, in Toronto, the the president, Rev, Dr. McKay, of Wood- stock, delivered an able and comprehensive opening address. In this address he is reported as having said: ' ' We are holding our last convention of the' nineteenth oentury. It has been a wonderful century; and in no respect more wonderful than in its moral and religious progress. Among the striking characteris- tics of the century we may give a foreinost place to the advancement of temperance eentiments and legislation During the last quarter of a century, liquoreelling places in Ontario have been reduce one-half; and to- day Canada stands in the proud position of being -the meet temperate country in the world. Ten years ago our people drank at the rate of two and a half gallons penhead ; to -clay they drink leiie than one gail�o. We thank God for the past, and trust Him for the future. Our prospect is as bright as His promise is sure." • This statement by the Rev. Doctor, who is one of the moot able and active temper- ance workers in the Province, is t -rue, as any reasooabIy dose observer clan testify. It shows a very satisfactory and encourag- ing state of affaira. Now, what is it that has been the cause of thie very gratifying and encouraging condition of the Province? The doctor answers this partly hirnaelf. It has been dUe in no small degree, if not en- tirely, to the advanced and gradually re- strictive legislation pasaed by the Ontario Legislature. Thie legislation has been passed from time to time at the Matinee of the Government-rn Liberal Government, who-, on more than one occasion-, risked much in daring to propose it and having it passed into law. In view of these facts, which are well known to the doctor and to; many other tempera.nco men in theProvince, would it not have been fair and christian to make some acknowledgement of thio source, and thue encourage in v. -ell doing thoee who had_given the legialation which has accomp- lished so much. But not only did the doctor fail to do this, but many of then who joy- fully accepted the doctor's statements, un- ited in reviling a,nd abusing the government, who by their own acknowledgement have done so much for the promotion ef temper- ance, beeeuse they had not given more and had not given all that wae aaked by the temperance people. Indeed, if we recollect aright, it required considerable expert en- gineeriug on the part of the cooler heads, to prevent a resolution being passed con- demning this same Government and party to which they belong, aud pledging the mem- bore of the Alliance to do all in their power to defeat them at the next election. Ifs it any wonder that politicians tight shy of people and organizations that are so line glen eful _and unreasonable? But for this sort of thing the temp ranee cause and temperance legislation w uld be even itch in advanceeof what itnov is. The te per. We Ohne° has suffere - from nothi g so muoh as ib has suffered fr m indisoree and unreasoning friends, or . supposed fri nds, and any progrees it hasri ade has ben in site of them and not by their aid. udg- ing iron, the reports of their . procee ings the Alliance has a good i many Bush .. its membership list. If it were to gag o ex- pel these it would, i certainly, do eetter work. :1 1 • sesneeeeannsonann Mr. Blair and the C. P. R. For the first time since its construoti • n as a Government - railway; the Intercolo ha is now, under the able m 3agoment of on. A. G.

The Globe thus refers to the ouble- barreled polioy being porsued by th4 Coe- servatives in Dominion politics : " The Mail is making a heroic effort to prov that the Liberals are deceithng the farm rs by not adopting free trade, and also de ,eiving the manufacturers by gradually introi ucing free trade. The readees of the Ma 1 may not be deceived, but they must be di, zy." The Mail and Empire makes the ollow- ing acknowledgement '1 It is e tisfac- tory to point ouf that Canadianare not now going in any number to the nited States, but that large eumbers of th reg. 11 dents of the United StOtes rue corni g into Manitoba, the Territories . and ritish Columbia. The exoclue is a matter if his- tory." That is all true, but the 'Mail should have gone one step farth r and should have given credtt to whoms cr dit is due. JA. correspondent from South Aide says. : " The Boers spate that their . plan -o Gam- paegn is to keep •up guerilla warier until November, when the. Democrats n the United States, if successful in the el ctions there, hitve promised i tervention in South Africa.' If this is t eir. best hop they had bo ter quit now. The prove ts for the Demoenats getting into power n the United States are even •leas than a e the prospects of the Tpriee getting into power in Canada. But evelh if the Den ocrate succeed, of which there is no prcib bility, they could not do any more for the Boers than the Republicans are now doin . In Cuba, Porto Rica and the Philippines the Americans will have all they can att nd to during the preeent generation at le st, no matter what piarty ma. be in power. 11 a War is an iexpensi e business. •n the s • English House of-Coirdnons the othe day, ; the parliamentary neeretary of th War : Office, Mr. George Wyndham; in irnroduc- , ing a supplementery army estim te of eleven and a half millien pounds, ince lained that it covered the expenses in South Africa to the end of February 1901, and in laded , three millions for Chine.

Rev Dr. Morton, who hat been re min- elonary of the Presbyterian ohuroh in Trinie •dad tor Over thirty years, delivered a lengthy address at the last meeting of the General Assembly descriptive of his work there. From this address we clip the fol. lowing extract :, OurEaet Indians • are reading of Canada, of the part she took in, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, of the soldiers she sent. to South Africa, and how those soldiers have acquitted themselver.

NOTES FROM THE QUEEN CITY. TORONTO, July 30th, 1900. Thje Centtiry Club Company, which had its inception during the last meeting of the Toronto Methodist conference, is meeting with greater alleeella than was anticipated. Already nearly hallof 61e stook necessary has been subscribed, and negotiations have already been entered into and completed with the Athenaeum Club for the purchase of the clubhouse and gymnasium. The club, though formed with the encourage- ment of the Methodist church, is to be non- sectarian. It is an effort_ to reachyoung men who are not under the influence of any particular church and who are not members of the Young Men's Christian Association, In this club no cards, liquor or gambling 'will be allowed, but the building will be furnished with all the best features of a modern olubhoutre, inoluding gymnasium, bathe, reception and reading rooms, parlors, library and rooms for all kinds of games; including billiards. It is intended, too'to equip and operate a dining -room for olub mernbere and their friends. The member- ship fee is placed at $5 per annum. The capital stock has been placed at $50,000. The shares- are placed at $10 eaoh and al - reedy a fairly good portion has been sub- eoribed. Trinity Methodist church, Sher - bourne .street Methodiet church and Carl- ton street -Methodist church have similar clubs under consideration. The idea in all of these eases, however, isto rent houses of moderate 47,8 and fix them up for club pur• poses. Qollege street Baptist church has already a young men's club in connection with the @lurch, and has a gynmasium in the basement. This has been such a success that during the approaching winter some- thing more extensive will be undertaken. FENIANS AGAIN. • The Fenian scare has by no means sub• aided in Toronto, though much less is now being said of it. But every precaution is being taken and just as strict a watoh is being kept over the public buildings -Gov- ernmental, provincial and municipal. In fact, additional guards have been pieced on the provincial buildings, which is on ac- count of a series of anonymous letters which have been sent to the LieutenantGovernor, • Sir Oliver Mowat. The provincial author- ities and the municipal authorities, between whom there has been an amount of jealousy during the last year, have joined hande. .Until now the police refused protection to the Parliament buildings, because the G-ov- ernment protected a civil servant who in. fringedthe highway rules when riding on pro incial territory. But now the Parlia- mer t buildings have been placed upon the poli e patrol, and the two are working in hari ony. Many stories are in circulation, but all that the authorities have to say is tha there are some persons in the pity wh m they suspect. THE PROMOTION OF ARCHIBAJA BLUE.
