from q personal point OF view the pro-

but there are many more things to be

republicans. The Plaindesler speaking
from a personal point OF view would de-
sire nothing better than to sse so emln-
emily worthy citizen as Mr.. WlnshiP
in the Rubernatorial chair but there are
many things TO be considered ana
though the post should not be discussed
on political grounds, yet these
matters are OF necessity bound to be
considered.

Great Regret For the Loss of Life In

LONDON, Jan. 3l.-That portion Of the
queens speech at the reassembling Of
parliament relating to the South African
war was as follows:
my Lords and Gentlemen: The peace
which had recently been broken in South
Africa, when last addressed you, has,
unhappily, not been restored, but other
wise my relations with other states are
friendly. In resisting the invasion Of
my South African colonies by
the South African Republic and
the Orange Free State, my peo-
pie have responded with devotion
and enthusiasm to the appeal which
I have made to them, and the heroism
of my soldiers in the field, and my sail
ors and marines who were landed to CO.
operate with them, has not fallen short
of the noblest traditions of our military
history.
Il am deeply grieved that so many
valuable lives should have fallen sac
ritice, but have witnessed with pride
and heartiest qualification the patriotic
eagerness and spontaneous loyalty with
which my subjects, in all parts Of my
dominions, have come forward to share
in the common defense of their imperial
interests. l am confident shall not
look to them in vain when | exhort
them to sustain and renew their exer-
tons until they have brought this strug-
gle for the maintenance of the empire
and the assertion Of it's supremacy in
South Africa to victorious conclusion
1t Will Require Funds
"Gentlemen Of the House of COM
mons: The estimates for the public
service for the year will be laid before
you. The provision for military expen-
diture must be largely increased on ac-
count OF the charge for military opera
tions in South Africa. The experience
OF great war must necessarily afford
lessons Of the greatest importance to the
military administrations of the country.
You will not, l am convinced. shrink
from any outlay that may be required to
place our defensive preparations on a
level with the responsibilities which the
possession Of so great an empire has laid
upon US. At a time when several other
nations are perfecting their naval prep
aratlons at the cost Of increasing efforts
and sacrifices. the solcitude with which
you have provided for the efficiency of
