SUNDAY SOCIAL.
YUKON ELECTION.

The victory of the Yukon reform party in the Yukon elections yesterday was de- served. It represented the element that has worked for three years in season and out for broad and liberal policy in the Klondike. They were so persistent that they were finally recognized, and most Of the things they have asked have either been granted or promised.
 It is hardly probable that the govern ment will now refuse to grant the reforms agreed upon. While the Yukon reform party was opposed by administration can didates, it did not conduct its contest sn party lines. As to the great contest being waged by the liberals under Laurier and the conservatives under Tupper in the Dominion the reformers expressed no opinion. They appealed for support on local issues and urged that the election of their candidates would emphasize the fight that had been waged for better laws They appealed to grits and tories alike.
 There will no doubt be an attempt made by the opponents of the Laurier admins tration to use the result of the Yukon cleo tion as condemnation of his administra' tion. The people of the Yukon should use every effort to counteract such an attempt They should not be permitted to be put ir a position that will lead the government tc treat them as an opposition community.

Cunard People Will Operate
 Lynn Canal Liners.
TO BE TWO FAST BOATS
One Will Carry the Stars and Stripes and Run From Seattle-the 9th ST Vancouver To Be Terminus.

There seems to be reasonable prospect of the early establishment of another di- rect line of steamers between Vancouver and SkagWay, says a Vancouver dispatch in the PostIntelligencer. The Mclvors who own part of the stock in the Cunard line. are said to be backing the project, which contemplates the purchase of steam CTS one to run exclusively between Vancou yer, Victoria and Skagwav, and the other steamer to have an American register, so far as to be able to make trips from Seat tie and call at Vancouver enroute.
 A Vancouver dispatch to the Seattle Times says:
 "E. A. Spnks agent for the Mclvors, who has gone to England in connection with the proposition, says he will recommend two steamers of IS knots. ca pable of carrying Goo tons of freight I5o head of cattle and 30 passengers. one to sail under the American flag from Seattle and one under the British flag from Van couver, but if the recent apathy of the peo- pie of Vancouver is continued and he con tinues to receive the almost dscourteous treatment that he has already received from the Vancouver Board of Trade in the matter, he will recommend the McIvor's tc sail both steamers under the flag of z country which Is ever ready and eager to encourage enterprise in any form, tht United States.

mandant General Louis Botha. the Beers
appear TO have found a capable successor
to Ioubert. As the result of his insight
and quick decision. it may be assumed
now that the retreating commands have
gotten safely away with the transports
It is true that Lord Roberts dispatch
leaves much unsaid as to the whereabouts
Of other forces than those Of General
French and General Rumble. Nothing is
said about the troops Of Generals Brabant,
Pole Carew, Hart and Chermside, but the
indications from Aliwalnorth show thal
the several small commands are still
lowering in the vicinity of Springfield
causing a certain amount of danger, and
the advices from Dewetsdorp outlining
the duties OF General Chermside justify
the conclusion that it will still be neces-
sary to employ considerable body of
troops to keep the Free State free OF
Beers
The position Is that the Beers who be-
gan their raid a month ago by compelling
Colonel Broadwood to retire on Bloemfon-
tein, have now gotten safely away TO tho
northward practically without loss. but
with the advantage OF seven guns, to-
gether with a hundred prisoners captured.
Meanwhile the advance to Pretoria has
not been begun Small wonder is 1t that
muffied complaints and criticisms are
being heard here and there against Lord

have been employed In effecting this small
satisfaction and the probability Is tnat
the whole force must be again concen-
trated on Bloemfontein before the man
advance begins. AS similar raids on the
British communications are likely to be
repeated. It is evidently still a far cry
to Pretoria.
The significance of General Hunters d.

troops are also arriving dally-is now said
to he a serious attempt to deal with the
strong Roer forces on the Vaal river now
