charge of the interior arrangements
and the members Of the st. Vincent de

honor. The ceremonies began at 1920
o'clock, when the procession, which
| had been formed in the s~acristy OF the
cathedral. passed through the ounds
| of the Episcopal residence and entered
by the south door. An immense crowa
| had gathered to watch the procession
| pass, and so great was the interest
| manifested in the event that hundreds
of people stood without the cathedral
during the progress of the ceremony.
The ceremony was splendid and i'm

because the service is not an ordinary
one. Three years ago there were no
official carriers at all. But the govern
ment showed a willingness TO provide
partial service at the first great influx,
and although there We're the usual de-
lays necessitated by red tape and official
routine, there was an honest attempt
TO furnish means for the dispatch of cor
respondence both TO and from the
regions so remote and so difficult OF
access. The carrying Of mail to Dawson
at the present time Is done under a
convention with the Dominion. II is the
transportation of mail matter for the
most part through Canadian territory
and to a Canadian city Any changes
ter I'm addition to letters would probably
have to be agreed to by both countries.
Both are, no doubt anxious to give the
hest service possible under the circum-
stances. but 1t is doubtful IL they win
see their way clear to furnishing facili-
ties such as the people In the North
seem to think they are entitled to.
Perhaps the present service can be inn
proved. Account should be taken Of the
number OF people now on the Yukon
and the work they are doing. and every
reasonable means of regular communi-
cation should be given them. The con-
tractors should be compelled to take
through every pound they are bound 70
take through. and IL would not be I'M
reasonable TO ask that the limit as 10
quantity be increased Perhaps better
provision can made for the trans
mission of documents and papers that
are essential for the carrying on Of busi-
ness. But under all the circumstances
II IL hardly reasonable to expect that
the government will be able to forward
70 It's destination all mail matter of
every sort upon which full rates of post
age have been paid. 1t may undertake 20
perform this service in summer. but 1t
is asking a good deal to have 1t main
tained during the winter when there are
such difficulties Of transportation to con-
tend with.

The honors Of the day in South Africa
belong to the Canadian regiment and
the world is ringing with their praises.
Whatever one may think of the issues
OF the war. he must be thrilled by the
account of the desperate valor of the
troops sent into action by our neighbors
on the north. Out of pure loyalty they
volunteered for service in a quarrel OF
the mother country and field on the
other side Of the world. They met a foe
whose mettle has proved as firm as that
OF the Briton. They advanced to within
eighty yards of his entertainments,
which the records OF this war prove to
he an almost unparalleled feat. and
there defended and held their position
The one great British success is the
capture Of Gen. Cronje and his army.

the gallantry of the Canadians, and the
queen has sent to the Dominion a spec

tons. In all the essentials that make a
good fighter these men are Americans.
