pie converted in twenty-four hours. In
our church history we read of the
great awakening in 1857, when 100000
souls were saved; but that was only a
drop of the coming showers that since
then took into the kingdom of God

pie we're in the nineteenth centur; try
ing to destroy have been overcome by
celestial forces. What human weapon

The good work was helped on by
the fact that 1t became a general habit
among millionaires and multi-millicn-
aires to provide churches and schools
and institutions of mercy, not to be
built after the testators were dead, but
so that they might be present at the
laying of the cornerstone, and at the
dedication, and leave less inducement
for the heirs at law to prove in
orphans court that when the testators
made their last will and testament
they were crazy. The telegraphic wires

TransvaaI Rejects Chamberlain's Latest
Proposal for an Inquiry.

TrausvaaI Rejects Chamberlain's Latest
Proposal for an Inquiry.
Cape Town, Aug. "a dispatch from
Pretoria, capital of the South African
republic, says the volksraad has de-
clined to agree to the suggestion of
Chamberlain, British secretary of state
for the colonies, that the effect which
the Transvaal franchise reforms will
have on the uitlanders should be in
quired into by a joint commission.
The volksraad. however. consents to
receive friendly suggestions.
London, Aug. 9.-The Daily Mail
publishes the following dispatch from
johannesburg: by a special article
added to the constitution of the Trans
vaaI the president is authorized in the
event of war, rebellion or other emer-
gency to proclaim martial law and to
compel every inhabitant of the repub-
lie to bear arms in its defense. The
Pretoria forts are being strengthened
and Boer agents are buying up all the
available draught oxen in Bechuana-
land"
All the dispatches from the South
African correspondents of the London
morning papers take il for granted
that the secret session of the volksraad
called last evening will confirm the re-
lection of Chamberlain proposal, but
leave the way open TO continue nego-
tiations. They also dwell upon the
serious situation thus arising. and upon
the CONSERVATION of the uitlanders over
the addition to the constitution COM

GOLD STANDARD FOR INDIA.
Important Financial Statement Made b
the British Government.

Important Financial Statement Made by
the British Government.
London, Aug. 9.-In the house OF
commons yesterday the secretary OF
state for India, Lord George Hamilton.
in introducing the Indian budget said
that after careful consideration the
government had deliberately concluded
that a gold standard was required in
the interests of India, and that they
would not be deferred from prosecut-
ing this policy by all the means in
their power merely because the next
phase in the advancement was coinci-
dent with abnormal or temporary fall
ure of the rain. IT." continued the sec
rotary, we could establish a great
bank like the banks of England and
France, it would be a fruitful ally in
SsIa blishing a gold standard
Continuing Lord George said he
hoped the new century would be asso-
ciated with a series of financial sur
pluses in India available for the re-
duction of taxes and industrial devel-
opment which would combine to give
India the fullest value of its associa-
ton with the cheapest, largest and
most fructifying market in the world
The surplus, he said in conclusion, this
year will be $4,000, 900 rupees.
Sir Alfred Hickman, Conservative
drew attention to the practice of the
Indian authorities of purchasing rail-
way material in the United States. He
said that If the Indian government
wanted something cheaply done which
could not be obtained in England such
course was in a sense justified. as the
government could not be blamed for
getting the thing wherever it was to
be found. But in most cases this eX
IRENE hurry could be avoided by lit
tie foresight.
AS far as the price was concerned Sir
Alfred Hickman contended that it must
not be assumed that because the price
was lower the article was cheaper. Elk
perience had shown, he asserted, that
while the American engines were
cheaper the English engines lasted bet
ter and in the long run were therefore
really cheaper.

UNPLEAsANTNEss WITH CANADA.

Laurier Makes Statement So Does
Choate, According to Report.
Washington. Aug. 9.-The contro-
versy with Canada had another chap
ter added yesterday. Premier Laurier.
in the Canadian house of commons at
Ottawa. Ont, qualified1y repudiated
what he was reported to have said to
Fitzpatrick. Laurier, replying to ques-
tons, said that Fitzpatrick put words
in his mouth for which he was not respon-
sible. If he wished to say anything to
be published he would say it himself
in his own way and not through anoth-
er. So far he had received no invi-
tation from the Chicago authorities to
the demonstration, but he had learned
that one was coming. and when il did
come he would certainly treat ii with
the courtesy that was due it, not be-
cause of the position he held but be
cause of the relations between US and
our neighbors."
Ambassador Choate, according to a
London dispatch. referring to the Ca
madam complication remarked that the
Canadian parliament was on the eve
OF dissolution and the leaders of both
parties had to speak. Choate seemed
to think that the latter circumstance
explained Sir Wilfrid Laurier's posi-
ton and he was inclined to attach
small Importance to the premier's re-
marks.
Next, according to London dispatch,
regarding Choate's statement, the Ca
madam high commissioner at London,
Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, said
to representative of the Associated
Press: Sir Wilfrid Laurier's remark
was merely figure OF speech and not
a political dodge. as intimated by Mr..
Choate. Sir Wilfrid Laurier could not
descend to such a thing. nor did he in
any way mean to challenge the United
States No sensible man could regard
war as possible, but Canada is simply
taking a leaf out OF the United States
book in demanding now what the Unit
ed States demanded in the Venezuela
case Canada is now a nation, though
closely allied to Great Britain. As such
she must protect her rights.
