ing farmer fourteen years ago. Peter Aus

For twelve years afterward Aus in
passed the old we'll every day. From time

into the we'll until it was completely

when he was arrested. He is one o. the
best known farmers in the county and is
considered well of.

THE question Is often asked, "What
caused the war with China?" Briefly
stated, "Anti-foreignism." Every peo-
ole look down on foreigners as infe-
riors. Foreigners have made them
selees offensive to the Chinese, by
treating them with contempt; by fore
ing them to open their territory to for
eign trade; by introducing foreign re-
ligion; by prohibiting Chinese from
settling in their domains; and finally,
by seizing some of her territory and
some of her best ports. The Boxers
look upon these things as insults and
injustice thrust upon them by foreign.
ers, whom they esteem as interiors,
Their war upon foreigners is the cul-
mination of their indignation against
these things. They have rebelled against
their Government because of its con
cessions to foreigners. If we were in
their wooden shoes, we would probabl!
have the same wooden ideas in oul
heads.

WOOL TRADE REVIEW. .

Boston. July 1s.-The American Wool &
Cotton RepLrter will say tomorrow:
There has been a little more looking around
for wool and consumers generally may be said
to have manifested more interest in the mar
ket which fact, combined with the decided
frmness shown at the London sales where the
decline in prices recorded at the opening has
been substantially recovered. has tended to
impart a more cheerful feeling in the wool
market. There is as yet no material Increase
to be noted in the volume of business trans
acted, however, which still remains of very
small proportion. One reason for this is evil
IDENTIFY to be found in the fact that consumers
do not etkhow on what lines or on what
price basis lightweight season is to develop.
The sales Of the week in Boston amounted
to ,343, 900 pounds domestic and O,0O0 pounds
foreign, making a total of 1868, 900 pounds,
against total of 1,316, 900 pounds for the pre-
vious week, and total Of 10. 1874 800 pounds fo1
the corresponding week last year. The sales
since January amount to 7l,935, 900 pounds
against LAC, 900 pounds for the correspond
ing time last year.

THE BOERS ACTIVE.
THEY SUFFER HEAVILY WHILE
ATTACKING THR BRITISH,
Fifteen Hundred of Kruger's Fol.
lowers With Five Guns Break
Through the English Lines.

London, July 18.-The War Office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts:
Pretoria, July II.
Yesterday the enemy made deter
mined attack on the left of Pole Ca
rew's position, and along our left flank,
commanded by Hutton. The posts
held by the Irish Fusiliers and Cana
dian mounted Infantry, under Lieut.
enant Colonel Anderson, was most gal
lantly defended. The enemy made re-
peated attempts to assault the posi-
tions, coming in close range, and call
ing to the Fusiliers to surrender. The
enemy suffered severely. They had
fifteen killed and fifty wounded, and
four were taken prisoners. The Brit
ish casualties were seven killed, includ-
ing the Canadian lieusenants, Borden
and Birch, thirty wounded, and twen-
ty-one missing.
Ian Hamilton's column advanced to
lWatervalia unopposed, and today pro-
ceeded to Herman's Kraal.
'Fifteen hundred Boers. with five
guns, had managed to break the Gordon
formed by Hunters and Rundle's di'
visions, between Bethlehem and Flick
burg. They were making toward Lind
ley, being closely followed by Paget's
and Broadwood's brigades."
In dispatch dated today, Lord Rob
erts pays tribute to I4ieutenants Bor.
den and Birch, whom, in his dispatch
given above, he reported killed. Lord
Roberts says:
"They were killed while gallantly
leading their men into counter-attacl
on the enemy's flank at critical junct
ure of their assault on our position
Borden was twice before brought t.
my notice in dispatches for gallan
and intrepid conduct.
