bonds are not yet ready for delivery, owing
to the pressure of work in the bureau of
engraving and printing growing out of the
demand for national bank plates and new
national bank currency. Temporary bonds,
however, have been issued in accordance
with the plan laid down in the circulars of
the department.
THE operation of legal tender redemption
under the provisions of the law exhibits a
highly satisfactory condition of public con-
fidence in our government paper and Is a
happy omen for the success of that branch
of our monetary system in the future. The
Secretary of the Treasury informs me that
the amount of United States notes re-
deemed in gold out Of the reserve fund
since the new law went into operation is
81. 1873 $50
One of the most interesting features of
Mr.. Brosius' statement is table prepared
by the treasury showing the extent to
which new national banks have been or
gained under the new law. The total
number of applications approved is "a, with
a capital of SS,3SO,O 600 The total applica-
tons on file for authority to organize ma

for the conversion of old banks into ma

kinds of new bank organizations of $50.
Mr.. Brosus also adds from unofficial

The net saving shown by this statement
represents the difference between the

their respective maturities and the amount
OF interest the government would have been

Regards the Item as Unwise.

Now. the tract of land which it is pro-
posed to purchase Is in private ownership,
and is continuation, on the same side
Of the street, Of the land already occupied
by the buildings Of the asylum. The propo-
sition is, instead of crossing the street and
using the land which we already own for
the new buildings, which land Is adapted
Tor that purpose to keep upon the same
side or the street where We now are and
buy this 40 acres additional. If / thought
the hospital was forever to stay where it
now Is, think l should be in favor of that
proposition at any reasonable price, but my
view is that the hospital ought in time be
moved"
He opposed the item as an unwise ex-
penditure of money.
After some further debate, participat ted in
by several members, a vote was taken on
Mr MuddS motion to strike out the item
The vote was: Yeas. %: nays, r.

London, Jan. 1s.--hTe war.expert on
the Morning Leader. writing with the
best information obtainaDle in Lon
don, says:
General Warren with his division
and something more, was Monday five
miles to the northwest OF Springfield,
where General Butler then had his
headquarters. Consequently the CEN
sor at Durham has been having little
amusement with the LEGAL press for
the purpose of dcceiving amy spies the
enemy may have and then confusing
them. All differences drawn from any
kilograms which have so far reached
us must be erroneous.
"Once and for all. General Buffers
movement is by the left There he
has his strength. His plan is to turn
the heights north and northwest of
Colenso and thus compel their evacua-
ton, and then to attack any Beers left
between him and General White and
make connection with. Whites force.
After that he may l1eeipthe; Transvaal-
ers on the. run through Natal to
Ilaing's Mex or Charldstown, or he
may decide on separating the Free
Staters from the strong men OF war
and. making with his main force for
Harrismith and Bloemfontein.
News of the first success of these
operations should reach us-about to-
day rfomorrow..-A AL that can be
said actually is.General Butler up till
Monday was still at Springfield. Gem
eral Warren was on hill nearly mid
way between Springfield and Bethany,
and Butler had assuredly one, and
perhaps two, passages of the river in
his hands,"

London, Jan. 1s.-A Daily Mail dis
patch from Creusot, France, says:
after spending two days in careful
inquiry have no hesitation in saying
that not only is the Schneider com
pany busily engaged in manufactur-
ing more guns and large quantities of
ammunition for the Beers, but at least
half dozen heavy. cannon of large
cnliber now packed here are ready for
shipment to the Transvaal. The town
of Creusot belongs entirely to the
Schneider company, which employs
1900 men and incloses the works ON
every side.
"l'he work is proceeding night and
day, Sundays and week days. Among
the foremen of engineers with whom
j talked one said that before long
thirty more guns would be dispatched
to the Beers.
"'How will they go??' asked.
cas- they have always gone, was
the reply, as carpets, tapestry, ma
chimes, agricultural implements, or
pianos, and in many cases with Eng
fish marks
"'The Portuguese have too much
confidence, you see,' added my infor-
mant, with Il chuckle.
"All the guns before being dis
patched are subject to the severest of
firing tests, and the carriages are also
tested in the most drastic manner.
They are dragged uphill and down
through brooks and over hedges. /
am informed that over hundred of
the best engineers from the works
have gone to South Africa i'm eighteen
months to instruct the Beers in the
manipulation of the guns.

clare the Beers are the quickest pupils

II wish to speak in French on 9

world. The mother country is en-

lie. We believe it our duty as Brit
ish colony to take part in this wal
and to permit 1000 Canadian volun
teers to enlist in the English army
and to fight for the empire. We did
it because we believed it our duty tc
do it in response to the unanimous
sentiments of the people of this coun
try.
I'VE showed the world that the Brit.
ish empire was above all land of lib.
erty and that there was enough lib
erty in that empire to make it the
duty of every citizen to affirm its unity
when occasion presented. We are told
that French-C Canadians have nothing
to do with the war. Gentlemen, am

stanhg which / would not wish tc
repeat elsewhere. This war does not
AFFECT English and French Canadians
i'm the same way. With Canadians of
English origin it was the voice of the
blood that spoke, the most powerful
voice that can appeal to the human
heart. 1t was not the same voice that
spoke to us of French origin; it was
the voice of gratitude, the voice of
national solidarity. which summons
IFS all to be united under the flag of
the country in which we live.
81 do not ask my fellow countrymen
of French origin to feel the same en-
thusiasm about that war as that which
naturally inspires our fellow country
men of English origin. know how
to make the distinction; but ! ask my
French fellow countrymen to do from
Il sense of duty what our English fell
low countrymen do under the impulse
of enthusiasm.
sit is said that the Boer war is an
unjust war. I do not intend to eNam-
inc the question. The war is going
on; our mother land is at war; it is
enough for me. If the Beers of the
Trnnsvaal had been willing to give
what we in Canada give to all who
come here-religious and political lib
erty-war would never have taken
place. l do not desire to speak i'll of
brave nation. 1 admire their co,r-
age, but | cannot help seeing that,

the name of several places in Pales

word fully explains its meaning. In

the story is told of Jacob and Laban
raising rude heap of stones to serve

General Tucker Likely to Succeed
TO His Command.


London, Jan. 1S.-Evidence accnmll-
lates that Methuen's bunder at Ma
cersfontein lost him the confidence OF
his entire force to such an extent that
it is declared it is doubtful if his
troops would follow him in another
attack on the Beers. The war Office
is understood to be in possession of a
letter written by General Wauchope
the night before the battle, saying
that it would be the last letter he
would ever write, as he had been asked
to perform an impossible task, and
he had either to obey or surrender his
sword. An immediate change in the
command of the force may therefore
be expected. 1t is anticipated in some
quarters that Lieutenant General
Tucker will succeed Methuen.
