THE BOER'S ASSURANCE. The proclamations issued by the Boers announcing West cannot but be looked Griqualand be looked upon by all British subjects as a piece of arrant impertinence. Still there is a grim humour in the situation, for it cannot be den ed that our position in Natal, and in South Africa generally, must appear. to the Boers to be anything but, secure, They have heard much of Britain's night but find that when war is declared she is totally unprepared for it, and although reinforcements arrive in the nick of time they only amount to a paltry ten thousand men. It may be that the Boers really believe that we are incapable of increas ing our South African forces to.fifty or sixty THURSDAY, the and day of November, 1899, thousand men, and this may account for their

premature proclamations announcing the annexation of British territory. It would have certainly been in better taste to have waited until the British had been fuially crushed before making such proclamations, but, when one takes into consideration the criminal delay which has taken place in the despatch of troops from England, it is not to be wondered at that the Boers look upon

A PROBABLE ERROR,;
We fancy, however, that there is an error in the telegram. It will be noticed that the wire runs, Bechuanaland and Griqualand West to the Transvaal and all North of the Orange River to the Free State." glance at the map of South Africa will show that Bechuanaland and Griqualand West are both Worth of the Orange River and so the two Republics have practically annexed the same districts.
It is the Orange River that forms the boundary between Cape Colony, Griqualand West and Bechuanaland, and so, we think, that the word "North" in the SINGAPORE, PENANG AND BOMBY, Having connexion with Company's Mail-telegram should be read South, as this would Steamers to ADEN, SUEZ, PORT SAID, give Cape Colony to the Orange Free State MESSINA, NAPLES, LEGHORN and and so make a fait division of the spoil.

It has not yet attained to the dignity of print, but is produced by means of a graph." The person responsible for the cali- graphy has a very clear style, says the M. C. Daily News, and in every way it is a creditable production. The circulation is now 150 copies monthly, but we are not surprised to learn that at present it dues not pay its way. Two seri pus outrages reported in its pages illustrate the dangers which the up-country missionaries are constantly facing. In Chungking a revival of "child-stealing" rumours caused the mis sion premises to be attacked and seriously damaged, whilst the missionary had to take flight. The officials seem to have acted bot. ter than they somethines do, and the con sequence was that some 21 prisoners were taken, joiners were sent to repair the damage, Tls. 1oo were paid for personal and native lusses, and a little later there was a "least" provided by the Asien. The Chungking notes relate the circumstances of the attack upon Mr. A. Warburton, of the Friends' Mission, in the Tungchuan prefecture. Whilst itinerating he was attacked by an angry crowel, first of all driven from a temple, then from an inn, and finally compelled to run for his life. He was stoned and beaten, besides receiving a serious sword-cut on the back of the head. He at last escaped in a boat. The Consul has taken the matter up, and the punishment of the offenders has been demanded.
