successful in speedily hunting down small detached parties of Boers, Mr. Brodrick stated to an audience that literally quivered with in- dignation, that the secret lay in the difference between our method of treating the Kafirs and that of the Boers.

the pursuing British, evade that danger by the simple practice of

COLD-BLOODED MURDER, and this brutal system excepted neither women nor children. Lord Kitchener had furnished Mr. Brodrick with particular of six slaughtered boys, under twelve years, two of whom, inere infants, had been flung down shaft while the others had had their brains battered out, only a few hours before the "arrival of the British column."

The progress of the war, continued Mr. Brodrick, was of necessity extremely slow, but it was progress the railway had not been broken once during October, and the British refugees were returning to the conquered territory at the rate of about one hundred per Week

Touching then on personal matters, the War Secretary passed a warm eulogy: upon Sir Evelyn Wood, and stated that both he and the Duke of Connaught had been appointed to their respective comptands in full agreement. with the pledge that the Generals who receive Army Corps posts in time of peace, shall be the ones that are intended to command in case of war. The Duke and Sir Evelyn will lead the men they are now traising on active service. As everyone received with satisfaction the appointments of Sir Archibald Hunter and Sir John French, Mr. Brodrick answered all criticisms by this statement—all at least, except those connected with Sir Redvers Bailer whom be just mentioned in a few kindly words.

The speech gives great satisfaction every- where, more especially when taken in conjunc tion with the many indications on every hand, of a coming vigorous campaign in South Africa, which it is hoped may end the war well before the Coronation.

and the jud cial representatives of the Colonies it has been decided that no new Court of App al shall be formed at any rate for the present, The Colonies will periodically ap- point, to the existing Judicial Committee, and certain, amendments of procedure are to be introduced, with a view to the avoidance

This result is a triumph for Canada, which desired a continuance, of the the present system, while the Australian delegate, instructed by the Federal Government; and backed by the practi cally unanimous sentiment of the Common wealth, was anxious to see established a new Imperial Appellate Court.

A ROYAL QUARREL.

Although great reticence is abserved in Court circles, it is understood that the reconciliation

brought about eighteen months ago, by the late Queen between the Grand-Duke and Duchess of Hesse has broken down. Mutual incompatibility of temper, was then the only acknowledged cause of rupture and the Queen who was grandmother to both the young. people, prevailed upon them to try once more the old-fashioned remedy of bear and for bear," for the sake of the only child of the marriage that quaint little golden-haired maid whom the queen asked to be brought to' ker bed-side only a few hours before, her death.

LATE TELEGRAMS.

[BROM JAPAN PAPERS.].

THE WAR.

LONDON, November 18th. A telegram from Lord Kitchener at Pretoria tates that intelligence having been received that a number of Boers were collecting west of Shenspruit, a strong se uting force for ex- ploring the country was dispatched. The force came suddenly upon the enemy, who gumber.

The indefatigable Dr. Leyds is amusing him self with a trip to Berlin and Vienna, próbab with a view to justifying himself in demanding, a continuance of, salary. Some impertinented about 300, and, was surrounded. A fierce persons are said to have observed that since the

CHAMPION UNTRUTH-TELLER has proved himselfunable to influence events in favour of the Boers, he would do well to relin. quish that bandsome honorarium which he re- ceives from the Boer war-chest Hence this tour. In Berlin, however, a polite hint has been dropped that his early departure would not be unpleasing to the authorities. Where fore the doctor finds himself urgently called away to Vienna than which there are many less agreeable towns at this time of year.

At the annual dinner of

struggle ensued, the British losing 6 nien killed and 16 wounded and a number taken prisoners, who were later, however, set free. Afterwards the British rallied, and drove away the enemy. The telegram reports father that the rear of a British force was attacked near Heilbron by a detachment of 400 Boers under the command of De Wet, and after a hot engagement lasting over two hours, the attack was repulsed and the Boers retreated, 'leaving 8 killed. The British losses were.1 officer and 1 man killed; and 3 officers and g men wounded:

After referring to the acute political and commercial Competition now existing between the various European Powers with interests in China, he

remarked that it had been a satisfaction to himself, and to the navy generally that our gunboals were the first on the Yangtze and West rivers.

Sir Thomas Sutherland, in the course of an -admirable speech, regretted that the leaders and real criminals responsible for the outrages on foreigners last year, would undoubtedly cscape punishment, despite Lard Lansdowne's strenuous endeavours to sheet home guilt to the instigators, rather than to the mere tools.

Had Russia supported our Foreign Minister in this matter, instead of thwarting his efforts in every way, even-handed justice might have been meted out to the mandarins, and China taught a really valuable and lasting lesson.

The Garman pronouncement on the Anglo- German treaty was however, in his opinion, more remarkable than the mere fallowing by Ruttia of her traditional policy, and it certain- ly ought to remind Great Britain that her interests in the East exceeded those of all other European nations put together. Finally, Sir Thomas regretted that the government had

He be- lieved that the dangers now threatening England cannot be removed as long as Mr. Chamberlain remains at the head of the Coton'st Office and Lord Milner represents the Government in South Africa. In conclu- sion the speaker expressed the hope that England, having gained so many victories, would now make reasonable pence propositions

to the Boers.

DR. LEYDS.

BERLIN, November zoth.

Dr. Leyes has informed a correspondent of 2 German newspaper that his visit to Berlin has no political significance. The war can be carried on for several years. The Boers are now stranger than ever, as their ranks do not contain any doubtful men, while they are better organised. Peace can only come on the over- tures of Great Britain, as 'the Boers are firm in their demand for independence. The Boem, he concluded, do, not expect any help from Europe.
