introduction of Mr. A. J. Newton into office, was honored to-day by exceptionally find wen ther. But the antiquated floats failed to satisfy the London crowds, whe poured out in enor- mous numbers to vent their martial enthusiasm. The streets were tastefully decorated with Bags, but the absence of a detachment of the House hold cavalry and the substitution of a number of school boy brigades testified to the presence of the veteran regiments at the front. A car representing Great Britain surrounded by her sons the Canadian and Australian volunteers, evoked hearty applause, as did the boys of the Duke of York's Royal Military School. The crowds, however, wanted khaki uniforms and refused to be reconciled with the Lord Mayor's coach and other emblems of purely civic power. At the Guildhall banquent, the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Wolesley, Mr. Ritchie, Lord George Hamilton, Lord Halsbury, Lord Chief Justice Killowen, the Duke of Marlborough and a few minor diplomats were present. Mr, Chamberlain was absent, Lord Salisbury and Lord Wolseley wore
WARMLY WELCOMED.
as they passed from the reception in the library into the banqueting hall, The Lord Mayor proposed "The Ministers "in a speech in which le vigorously denounced the ignorant arru- gance of the invader," dwelling on the fact that Sir Alfred Miloer, in spite of basculean exer- tions, was unable to prevail with the over bearing, corrupt oligarchy, therefore other of our champions have taken the business inta their hands."
Replying to the toast "The Army," passed in warm terms by Alderman Relear, Lord Wolesley said: "Every day applications are received from volunteers in all parts of the Empire, who wish to be sent to the front. I am proud of the sailors, soldiers and volunteers, who are all on guard. We have hard work before us for our foë is brave and it is no mimic warfare in which we are engaged. When one reads of the work which our local forces in Natal have done in the past few weeks one must deem them worthy of standing side by side with the best regulars. We at present ng have only mobilized one army corps, consisting of $3,000 men, of whom 44,000 are already un the way to the Cape.. To-day orders have been sent to mobilize another division, and, if called upon by the Ministers to mubilize another army corps, we are quite prepared to do so;"

LORD SALISBURY,

rising at a quarter past nine, was greeted with intense enthusiasm, prolonged cheering and a general waving of handkerchiefs, The Premier said: "I have had to answer for many years. similar kinds of receptions in this ball, but never before under conditions that justfed me in applying so confidently-to sympathy and support as in the present grave state of public affairs. Before turning to this serious point, my duty is to inform you that our situation in South Africa is the only part of our relations with other nations to which any term of apprehen sion or doubt can be applied For several years our relations with, and cordial feeling to- Atlantic have been constantly growing, and though neither one interfering with the affairs of the other, we can always look for sympathy and a fair hearing among those, who share with us, so vast a mission, for the advancement of mankind. But perhaps you think I am sanguine in saying that on the Continent of Europe we have no hostility to fear. There is undoubtedly a certain acerbity of tone among the writers for the foreign press, but I do not believe that the trend of this opinion affects the people of foreign nations, I am quite certain that it does not effect their governments, and I will say that I have noted, as one of the cheering symptoms of the present time, the happy relations existing

(cheers.) and the sympathy with which we watch their approach toward the same great problems that we ourselves have had to solve, That is not to say that I do not feel the great- est sympathy with their late antagonist, the Kingdom of Spain. We entertain the highest hope that out of that war a blessing in disguise will grow and be an abundant growth-civili- zation and culture in that ancient and moat interesting monarchy, "
This morning you had the intelligence of an agreement between ourselves and one of the great Continental states, with which for many years we have entertained relations of sympathy and friendship beyond others. Samon is not in itself a very important matter; but it was important, because it constituted a subject of difference between ourselves and a nation whose goodwill we prize very highly. I do not. know entirely the reason why the German Government attach so much im people and portance to Upolu; but they do and we are glad to find the mans whereby without in the least diminishing the rights and advantages of England, we are able to gratify their views and sentiments. The agreement is somewhat com- plicated; but roughly, it may be said that the Germans had a great interest in this island, because they have invested large amounts in its cultivation and because they have constructed a great commercial trade, of which they are proud. The islands therefore are

It would have been nothing to the parpos to issue proclantations for reserves some weeks cadier. For what was the cause of war and what was the cause of the ultimatum? It was not because of apy demand we had made. It so happened, that, at the moment the ultimatum was issued, we had withdrawn our demands, and there was no demand before the Transvaal Govemment. It was because we had taken
measures to increase the amount of our forces in South Africa, but, if that had been done a few months sooner, exactly the same result would have taken place. The moment we had shown signs of raising our force to an equality with the force opposed to it, that monient the ultimatum would have been issued and war would have begun. (Cheers.) It is not, there- fore, right to say that there were not adequate military preparations. The evil dates back. It dates to those

Year after year an accumulation of munitions was made, which could only be directed against us. Hampered by these armogements, it was impossible that we should avoid the interval of trial and danger necessary to intervene between the moment when war was declared and the mo- ment when our forces could accept the contest and appear upon the field.

I di not attempt to forecast the future. I only say that my faith in the British soldier is unbound- ed, and that I am deeply gratified to feel that he is in the vigorous and sagacious hands of Speaker Reed, and for that of women who rise Cronk, Miss H. C. General Buller.
Regarding the future, I will only deprecate assertions that I see occasionally in the Con tinental press. Only the other day, I saw it asscit cd-not by a chance writer, but by a man who has been a member of the French Govern ment:-that is War had for its object the gratification of the lusts of greedy lords, who desired to partition among themselves the gold and diamonds of the Transvaal. Now I beg to, assure this gentleman that her Majesty's Cabinet have not had a farthing from the Tran svant or from any other gold field.
THERE IS THE YUKON
All
about which there is no contest. If there had been any chance of our gaining advantages,, the Yukon goldfields should bave yielded something, but 1 appeal to my friend, Lord George Hamilton, to known if the Cabinet ever had a farthing from them. (Laughter.) I go further, England, as a whole, would have had no advantage from the possession of gold- mines, except in so far as her Government conferred the blessings of good administration upon those engaged in the industry.. Successful industry breeds, commerce, and all interests and commerce flourish better under good Government than under any other regime in the world; but that is the limit of our in- terest. What we desire is equal, rights for all men of all races, and security for our fellow subjects and our Empire. The hour for asking by what means these results can be obtained is not yet come; but' these are the cbjects and the only objects we seek. We do not allow any other consideration to Cross our path. I have seen it suggested--and it seems to me a wild suggestion that other some form or other dictate to those who are Powers will interfere with this confict and in
concerned in it as to what its upshot should be. Don't let any man think it is in that fashion the conflict will be concluded. We shall have to eary it through ourselves, and the inter- ference of anybody else will have no effect upon it (Cheers) In the first place, because we
WOULD NOT ACCEPT THAT INTERFERENCE
and in the second place, because we are con
inced that there is no such idea in the mind of any government in the world. Within my recollection there have been some five or six great wars, involving in their close great terri terial modification, but, except as provided for by treaties and except in the case of trea ties, in none of these wars has a third party ventured to interfere between the combatants. In none of these wars has any nation claimed a right to determine what the issue of the contest or its terms should be; they have not claimed that right, because they cannot. It is not in accordance with International law, that they should possess it. Therefore, such dreams should be set aside. Wherever we are victorians, we ahall consult the vast interests committed to our care. Vast duties lie upon us to perform, and taking counsel of the uni form interests of our Colonial Government and of mederation and equal justice to all races of men, which it is our uniform practise to observe, I do not doubt that we shall so arrange that the issue of this conflict will confer a pod government and give the security sorely needed, against the recurrence of any such dangers and the necessity of any such future exertion, and for the restoration of peace and civilization to that portion of the world."

SHARKEY-JEFFRIES FIGHT.
Coney Island Sporting Club, New York, Nov. Jas, Jeffries retains the championship, referee Siler giving his decision at the end of the 25th mund Over Sharkey at the Coney Island Sporting Club to-night. It was one of the most marvellous battles that has ever taken place, and the greatest crowd that ever gathered in the Coney Island club house witnessed the struggle,
In five rounds Jeffries had the better of the fight, in the first two and in the last three. During the ether twenty Sharkey forced the issue, and, like a terrier, was at his man with both hands unceasingly. Jeffries great weight and brawn helped him to hold off the sailor and in the 22nd round he swung a couple of vicious upper cuts that made Sharkey groggy. Tom came back again in the 24th and 25th, but he was weakened greatly by Jeffries's blows. One minute before the gong sounded to end the fight Jeffries's left glove came off and practically ended the fight.
The referee motioned Jeffries to his corner, A fag was flung around, the champion's shoulder, the crowd on that side of the arena cheered wildly, while the crowd on the opposite side yelled for Sharkey, and the men were led back to the dressing room.
The thousands of spectators were banked forty feet high around the building. The altles around the ring were fined. The heat was intense. The fighters were almost exhausted.
It seemed at first as though it would be a short fight, for in the second round Jeff put the sailor to the ropes with a left on the jaw, and the referee began to call off the seconds as -Sharkey was kneeling on the floor. From this round Sharkey, with his vicious swings to the ribs and jaw, kept the crowd on its feet walt- ing for a knockout. Jeff stood the terrific punishment, and with his eye, nose and last three and almost retrieved himself. Then ear split, came back just as viciously in the came the unfortunate and unsatisfactory ending, Jeffries's glove flying off, bringing the fight to rush in and end it. This he tried to do, but Jeff an end, although the crowd urged Sharkey to fought him back and referee Siler rushed to the
rescue.
It was noticeable that Jeff used his weight to the best advantage, throwing himselfall over the sailor, but the latter did his part of the hugging.
Ten thousand spectators gathered around the ringside.
Jeff weighed 212 pounds and Sharkey, 25 pounds less, but the latter looked in better shape. The betting at the start was too to 70 on Jeff
The decision was not announced from the ring, or, if it was, few heard it, and the great mob surged around for several minutes, yelling and shouting for the victor and vanquished. Victoria Daily Times.
MINERAL WEALTH IN THE PHILIPPINES.
CHICAGO, October aznd. A special to the Record from Deadwood, S. D., saya: Evidences of the richness of the Philippine islands in precious metals haro been shown in the Black Hills towns since the return of the South Dakota Volunteers, who served a year in the islands. Many of the Black Hills' volunteers have had practical experience in mining for gold and silver and they have been watchful of the Philippines for indications of ore deposits. Captain Paul McClelland, Company has brought back piece of decomposed silver ore, about half pure, which is said to have been taken from a ledge about 100 feet in width situated ten miles from Manila. The soldiers have also brought pieces of rich gold quarts from Luzon, the ore of the Black Hills. Chunks of gold ore e closely resembling the rich free milling veins hibited by the soldiers bristle with gold fenced mining men would take it for Black threads, fakes and nuggets, and most exper Hills oro.
