In her dispatch to Lord Roberts, fol-
| lowing the announcement of the sur
render of General CrOnje, her majesty
said: Accept for yourself and all I'M
| der your command my warmest con-
CALCULATIONS on this splendid news"
Lord Roberts replied as follows: All
under my command are deeply CRATE
| full for your majesty's most gracious
message. Congratulations from their
queen are an honor the soldiers dearly
prize"
General Butler has wired his thanks
to the queen for her telegram of gra-
cious sympathy and encouragement.
The Pietermarit2burg correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph, under date of
Tuesday, says: Mr.. Gutridge, con-
tractor who resides at Dundee after
! being kept in Imprisonment at Preto-
ria for five weeks, was put beyond the
Portuguese border. He describes the
treatment of the British prisoners as
disgraceful. Fever had broken out be-
fore he left, and a BOer doctor told
him that the government could not al
low adequate medical supplies"
spencer Wilkinson. commenting on
General Buffers operations says: ut
hardly seems as though Tuesdays at
tack had covered more than an ad
vanced position, covering the Boer
main lines of investment, or that the
Beers have abandoned any part of
those lines. Otherwise, General Butler
and Sir George White would have met
the same night
The next attack ought, one way or
the other, to be decisive. Apparently
Lord Roberts cannot for some time in
fuence the course of events in Natal,
and General Buffers force has now
been subjected to very considerable
and prolonged strain. The moment
seems opportune to point the necessity
of sending General Butler reinforce
ments.''
Gibson Bowles, conservative member
of parliament for Kings Lynn, who
was much struck by the statement of
Cecil Rhodes the other day that the
profits of the De Beers company last
year were $2OOO,OOO, and that there
are diamonds in Kimberley now valued
at &161000, intends to suggest to Mr..
Balfour, first lord of the treasury, that
the rescued property be distributed
among the troops as salvage, or at least
be applied to the relief of the widows
and orphans of the fallen.
AlgernOn Charles Swinburne has a
poem in the Times this morning, under !
the caption, The Turning of the /
Tide" Of which the last six lines are:
The winter day that withered hope and !
pride
"Shnes now triumphant on the turning
tide
THAT sets once more our trust in free
dom free;
That leaves ruthless and a truthless |
foe
"And all base hopes that hailed his !

BOERS SAVED THEIR
HEAVY ARTILLERY

London, Feb. 28-The war expert OF
the Morning Leader writes: -Four
thousand Beers and five thirteen
pound guns, on one side, three and a
half divisions and an enormous increas-
ing force, with a mass of heavy artil-
lery on the other Yet the Beers have
kept up their contest for more than a
week after General Kelly-Kenny
! fought them, and after General French
headed them off their line of retreat.
MANY of Cronjes men have got
/ away and they have saved all their ar
tillery. Whittier they have gone does
not yet appear. Those heavy guns
which used to make Methuen grind his
teeth in impotence have disappeared.
Where are they now?
WHY, of course, on the way to
Bloemfontein. The fact that one-third
of the prisoners are Free Staters does
not induce confidence that General
French will be able to spare many of
his mounted troops for the relief of
Mafeking.
1T would not be surprising if word
had already gone ordering Command
ant Sniman to concentrate back of
Pretoria, or rather in KlarksdOrf and
ProtchefStroon districts. For Colonies
Baden-Powell and Plumer, when they
join forces, can threaten the Rand and
the capital from the rear.
II take it for granted that General
French and the greater part of his cav
airy are on their way to Bloemfontein.
l cannot imagine anything so suicidal
as that the Beers would mass at the
capital of the Free State.
'Ladysmith has not yet been re-
lieved, and the very latest news last
night is far from meeting what we
would wish.
Are the Beers presumably retiring
being reinforced?
Are they actually to outfank US?
THE very brevity of the news COM
pels us to believe its truth and makes
us very uneasy.
ct is likely enough that, if the en-
envy has got away his big guns. he has
also sent back to the next front the
men who were engaged in removing the
guns.
IF General Joubert, too, can deliver
what an American general might call
"a mule kick, Joubert will not only get
away easily, but will give us some
trouble before he clears the passes
The military expert of the Morning
Post says: THE surrender of CrOnje
is the first complete victory the Brit
ish have won in this campaign. We 10
not yet know the size of the force that
has been destroyed.
Lord Roberts announces he has 1000
prisoners and has taken six guns. At
ter the battle of MagerSfOntein Cronjes
force was estimated at not less than
10000 men. So at least half his force
and most of his guns-including the
larger ones-disappeared before his re-
treat"

Buffers distinct success in storming
Peters hill brings the rescue of Lady
smith near, but the war office init
mated last last evening that an i'm
mediate announcement of relief need
not be expected. The goings to and
fro at midnight of officials and mes
sengers suggested that important news
had been received. If this were the
case. Lord Lansdowne obviously de-
sired to sleep on it before taking the
public into his confidence.
As his message reveals, General Bull
ler's successful attack came after the
hard fighting of Friday. and it was i'm
provised and its execution begun dur
ing the armistice of Sunday. In pro-
posing the arTnistice, the British COM
mander stipulated that both sides
should be free to move, but that nei-
Their should do any shooting. He was,
therefore, Within his privileges in i'm
mediately beginning to transfer his
troops.
General Buffers tidings come weight
ed with his long list of casualties. His
losses in the four attempts to get Gen
eral White out aggregate 1000
LadySmith is in desperate straits
Charles Williams, the military expert,
says he learns on very high authority
presumably that of Lord Wolseley-
that General Whites force is almost
at its last gasp"
This is not so much" saws Mr..
Williams, ION account of any lack of
provisions or of ammunition. neither of
which is yet exhausted. as because of
the poisonous waters of the Kip river
and the evil effects of the heat on the
Terrain in which the garrison must re-
side. Even those who have escaped
fever, dysantery and diarrhoea are in
state of low vitality. They can
still man trenches and would probably
hold their own against a last fesper-
ate assault, but they can initiate moth
ing. General Butler now knows that,
as units, the regiments will be of no
use to him for months

to thoroughly enjoy a European trip.
He returned to this country early in
November, and on the steamer met
Miss Mary Noakes, a trained nurse.
who had been connected with St.
Lukes hospital, New York, and had
been visiting her home in Scotland
They became engaged before the voy-
age was ended. Miss Noakes upon
landing remained in New York. but
Rev. Mr.. Allen went directly to Milton.
where he was received warmly by the
members of his congregation. A re-
ception was arranged in his honor, at
which he surprised his flock by an
nouncing his engagement to Miss
Noakes. Mr.. Allen saw at once that
his plans for his future happiness were
not well received by his congregation,
and a few days later he left Milton to
visit his sister in Cold Spring.
He reached her house, and within
two hours was found lying in front
of a looking-glass in the room he was
to occupy with six bullets in his head.
He had stood in front of mirror and
fred the six shots, one directly after
the other, each one entering the same
hole in his forehead Four of the bull
lets were found aud removed, but two
still remain. The case attracted at
tention among medical men, the fact
that the six bullets followed one after
the other into the wound made by the
first shot being considered remarkable.
While Rev. DR.. Allen was slowly re-
covering Miss Noakes was constantly
by his side, giving him the attention
he so much required. Nothing has
been heard of his personal affairs until
now, and the announcement is the one
topic of conversation. Both Mr.. Allen
and the young woman have been con-
graduated heartily by friends in Mil
ton. 1t is understood that the wedding
is to take place early next spring. The
former Presbyterian church building
in Milton was torn down few weeks
ago, and a large and handsome one
is being erected in its stead.

Seeks n Divorce at 81.

Mrs. Matilda Burchfield, 81 years OF
age, of Charlotte, Mich, has brought
suit for divorce against her husband,
william, a veteran of the Civil War.
In her bill Mrs. Burchfield says her
husband has utterly failed for Is
months to provide her with the COM
monest necessities of life; that she has
been compelled to drudge in the fields,
planting and putting by crops, which
her husband promptly gave away to
his son-in-law. Further, she AYERS
that he has threatened her life. Brok-
en- down in health and unable to sup
port herself longer, she says he at
tempted to drive her from the farm at
the point of revolver, and she was
compelled to sleep in the barn in order
to escape his abuse.

SIR ASHLEY COOPER.
How n Millionaire Gave Him His High
est Fee.

When Sir Ashley Cooper lived in
Broad street, London, he had every
day a numerous morning levee of city
patients, says the Gentleman's Maga-
zine. The room into which they were
shown would hold from forty to fifty
people, and often callers, after wait
ing for hours. were dismissed without
having seen the doctor. His man
Charles, with more than his masters
dignity, would say to disappointed ap
plicants when they reappeared on the
following morning: "I am not sure
we shall be able to attend to you, for
our list is full for the day: but if you
will wait | will see what we can do
for you During the first nine years
of his practice Sir Astley's earnings
progressed thus: First year, G5 IS;
second, e26: third. 965; fourth, f95;
fifth, G100; sixth, G 200; seventh. C 400;
eighth, G600; ninth, 6 LOO. Eventu-
ally his annual income rose to more
than s15,000; the largest sum he ever
made in one year was 1000. A West
Indian millionaire gave him his high
est fee: he had successfully undergone
a painful operation. and sitting up in
bed he threw his nightcap at Cooper,
saying Take that" Sir" replied Sir
Ashley. 'I'll pocket the affront," and
on reaching home he found in the cap
a check for 1000 guineas.

NEVER ATE FOREIGN MEAT.
IL Doesn't Pay to Re Too Sure Until
One Knows All the Facts.

A certain Major Brownjones, who
made it his boast that he never al
lowed American or colonial meat to be
served at his table. recently visited an
old comrade in Liverpool. One night
at dinner a most delicious saddle of
apparently Welsh mutton appeared,
to which the major did ample justice.
"Ah!" he observed, Il wish that my
butcher in London would send me stun
like that; and yet he deals only in the
best British meat" Well" said his
friend, "as matter of fact, you have
been eating New Zealand mutton; but
it's only fair to say that l get it from
friend who is a large wholesale i'm
porter" by love, you don't say sol"
exclaimed the guest. Il wish he'd tel
me where | can get the like in town"
We'll go and see him tomorrow,
said the host. The visit was duly paid
to the meatmonger, who smiled when
he heard the Londoner's eulogy and
explanation. Tell me-" he returned
marks, in what part of London you
reside, and / dare say | can give you
the address of a retail butcher who
will supply you with exactly the same
sort of mutton as that which you like
so much" The major handed him his
card. 'Ah!" observed the importer.
there's the very man within two
streets OF your house. We supply him
with all his meat. Here's his address"
he added, handing slip of paper to
the seeker after succulent joints The
