Mr. Armat Wins His Case.

The commissioner Of pensions, at

a lower court which establishes Mr..
Tom Armat, formerly Of this city
firmly in his rights and the first and
only inventor of the projecting ma
chine for moving pictures as used in
the market. The biograph vitascope

The Churches.

The Sunday services at the Christian
Church, which were continuation Of
the revival services that began a week
ago and are still in progress, were IN
usually interesting. 10 the morning
Rev. S. Il Maxwell preached sermon
replete with wise suggestions and en-
enlargement to the church, after which
one made profession Of faith. AT
night an audience that completely filled
the church heard Mr.. Maxwell on "The
Gates of He'll. At the conclusion OF
the impressive service. one backslider
went forward and made touching
statement, and warned others not to
follow in his sinful course. One can
didate was then baptized by the pastor
Rev. s. H.. Forrer.
The regular pastors preached at the
other churches Of the city at both the
mornfag and evening services.

United States Insists on Immediate
Payment.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, April 2s. The
American note handed to the Tarkish
minister of foreign affairs, TewdlS
Pasha, on Tuesday, is couched in per-
emptory terms, demanding Immediate
payment of the indemnity several
times promised to Minister Straus by
the sultan. The note does not fix u
time limit for an answer, but it's tenor
is not far from the character of an ul-
timatum. 1t has produced great inn
preston upon the porte, who, how
ever, shows no disposition to modify
the attitude hitherto maintained,
namely, repudiating the responsibility
and seeking to diminish the import
ance of the matter. 1t is presumed
that the porte's reply will be in this
sense, and hence it is feared the United
States government will be obliged to
take steps to enforce its demands.
The porte's reply to the latest col
lective note on the subject of duties
has not been made, and the embassies
are exchanging views in regard to the
terms on which to consent to an in
crease of duty. 1t is thought that be
fore the beginning of negotiations the
embassies will invite the porte to
abolish ransoms and measures intro
duced in violation of treaties,

CANADIAN CITY BURNED,
only a Few Hoeses Remain Standing in

| Only Few Hoeses Remain Standing in
Hull.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 81. Five square
miles of territory burned over; more
than 1900 dwellings, factories, mills,
stores and other buildings destroyed,
entai]ing a loss estimated to reach
$50, 100000, and between IL, 900 and 49,
900 men, women and children home
less, is a summing up of the havoc
wrought by the fire which has been
raging ut Hull and in Ottawa since IL
o'clock yesterday morning and at mid
night was practically under control.
Most of the lumber piles in Ottawa
and Hull have disappeared and are
now heaps of charred wood and ashes.
Half dozen churches and schools, a
number of mills, the Hull waterworks,
Hull court house and Jail, postofice,
the convent, almost every business
place and about 1000 dwellings and
shops in Hull have been destroyed
Indeed practically nothing of Hull is
left but d church and a few houses
beyond it. The fire almost devastated
the little settlement of st. Mary's vii
1age. The flames spread along the
Richmond road, burning Martin &
Warmers -four mill and extending al
most to Skead's mill, some three miles
beyond the city limits. At this time, S
o'clock, there was almost a continuous
line of fire from it's starting place at
Chaudiere street, Hull, to the st. Louis
dam, and the experimental farm in one
direction and through and beyond
Hintonburg in another, a distance of
nearly seven miles. In some plac es
the fire was more than half a mile
deep.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 2s.-At 5 o'clock
yesterday morning the fire which had
been raging here and at Hull was un-
der control. The total number of
buildings destroyed is $780, entailing
a loss of SEQ, 100000. Between twelve
and fifteen thousand people are home
less Four lives were lost. A sum
mary of the situation at ottawa and
Hull follows: Ottawa, buildings des-
troyed, 1000; Hull, buildings destroyed
1880: total loss to both cities, $40, OOO,-
900; total insurance on both cities, SIP
10000 Some of the losses are: The
Booth Lumber Company, $4,000, 900;
the Eddy company, So ,o0O 900; the Nc
Kay Milling Company, 100000; the
Hull Lumber Company, 100000; Hull

BoER LOSSES ARE HEAVY.
The Force Has Been Reduced From 60,
900 to 10000 Men.

The Force Has Been Reduced From Co.,
900 to 10000 Men.
LONDON, May 1.-The Bloemfonteln
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
'sFrom Boer official in the commits
sariat have obtained some interest
ing details. The Beers had in Decem-
Der 60. 900 men. In March they had
barely 26,500, having lost 5000 in
killed and wounded, and $500 in cap
tured. The others have not been ac-
counted for. but probably have re-
turned to their homes. The official
who gave me the information predicts
that the approach of winter will pro-
duce further Wholesale shrinllage
He says the Beers are short of wagons,
wheat and smolSeless powder, but that
they have plenty of other stores and
rifle ammunition. They are not like
ly, however, to offer serious resistance
as they possess no positions this side
of Pretoria that are not capable of be-
ing turned by the British army. Nor
over the Vaal River offers no protec-
ton because it is fordable every dozen
miles or so. The official thinks de-
termined advance by the British would
lead the Beers to destroy the johann
nesburg mines. Their cleverest gen
eral, he says, is Delarey, although
Botha is a man of great ability. None
of the Boer commanders, in his opin-
ion, can be compared with the late
General Joubert."

TAKE STRONG POSITION.
Beers Have Good Reason for Abandon

ing Thaba N'Chu.
LONDON, May 1.-The latest newsre-
ceived from the Orange Free State in
dicates that though the Beers have
evacuated Thaba N'Chu, they have
only done SO in order to occupy strong
er positions. On Sunday, April 20,
General DeWet made an effort to turn
French's eastern flank, which was on
ly foiled by the cavalry after vigorous
maneuvering. The Beers hold the
ridges to the eastward, whence they
will probably fall back when the pres
sure of superior numbers increases.
The Beers are now showing uncom-
mon activity west of Bloemfontein.
They are in force between Fourteen
Streams and Kimberly. On Sunday
they occupied Windsorton, west of the

FAR CRY TO PRETORIA NOW.
Lord Roberts Is Completely Chekmated
by BOtha. Eva

by BOtha.
LONDON, April 2s.-In Commandment
General Louis Botha the Beers appear
to have found capable successor to
Joubert. AS the result of his insight
and quick decision, it may be assumed
now that the retreating commanders.
have gotten safely away with the
transports. The position is that the
Beers began their raid month ago
by compelling Colonel Broadwood to
retire on Bloemfontein and have now
gotten safely away to the northward,
practically without loss, but with the
4adya1 ge IF seven British guns, to-
.gether with a hundred prisoners carp
tured. Meanwhile the advance to
Pretoria has not begun Small won
der is it that mnff1ed complaints and
criticisms are beginning to be heard
here and there against Lord Roberts.
Two-thirds of his entire force have
been employed in effecting this small
satisfaction and the probability is that
the whole force must be again concen-
trated on Bloemfontein before the
main advance begins. AS similar raids
on the British communications are
likely to be repeated, it is evidently
still a far cry to Pretoria.

DeWet Reports a victory.

PARIS, April e6.-A dispatch from
Pretoria says that General DeWet has
General Brabant's horse isolated and
has repulsed two attempts to relieve
it, capturing fifty Britishers.
