Eighty mine We're Killed. Wounded, or

New York, Feb. PA special to
the Tribune from Montreal says:
The news of the heavy losses of the
Canadian battalion created Il profound
sensation throughout the Dominion.
No details of the action have come to
hand, except that it was fought by the
Canadians on Sunday, while pursuing
Cronje's army at u drift on the Modder
river to the east OF Jacobsdal. Seven
out OF the eight companies were en-.
gagged and the Canadians lost in killed,
wounded and missing SO men. being
about 10 per cent OF the force engaged.
The losses are scattered over the
whole regiment and number 20 killed
and SO wounded, the rest being missing
or captured. No officers were killed,
but two-Major Arnold, of Winnipeg,
commanding II company. and Lieuteil-
ant Mason, OF Toronto-were wound.
ed, the former dangerously. Flags are
flying at half.mast over the city.
The spirit in which the public is
taking the news is shown in the action
of J. A. Barry, a rich young merchant
OF the town. On his way to his office
he learned from bulletin board OF the
death OF his younger brother, Cecil. and
proceeded at once to the telegraph
office, where he telegraphed the govern.
ment, asking permission to go to South
Africa Mt his own expense to take his
brothers. place in the regiment. The
newspapers in their comments agree in
saving that the blood thus shed will
cement the union OF Canada with the
empire.

"rThere are several other good and
gifted women whom I might name as
having belonged to my Inner circle OF

in Anna a. Gordon. lovely Boston
girl, whom met when conducting re-

Miss Gordon was Miss Wizards Cit
Tie organist" ut the great meetings for
women which she held in Boston in
conjunction with the Moody meetings.
For twenty years she was Frances

that her chief was not, and with ala
her greatness Miss Willard was not all

Gordon because Miss Willard loved her;
In two years they have learned to love
her for herself.
Miss Gordon has prepared n number

calling for information from the Sec

to his transactions with the National
City Bank and the Hanover National
Bank OF New York were laid before
the Senate.
Mr.. Allen claimed that the replies of
the Secretary of the Treasury had not
been sufficient. He read the now ia
nous letter addressed to Secretary
Gage by A. b. Hepburn, vice president
of the National City Bank. in which
reference was made to the bank direc-
tors part in the campaign Of '96.
Mr.. Allen admitted that no reply was
made to that letter, but he said that
its objact was attained was evidenced
by the fact that when the letter was
written. the National City Bank had
a vastly smaller amount of money on
deposit than it had month later.
Mr.. Allen charged Mr. Stillman with
inviting the Treasury Department to
give the country the impression that
there was more money in the banks
of New York than there really was.
This ought, In his opinion. to have call
ell forth a sharp rebuke from the See-
rotary, but the correspondence showed
