porter at his home, at No. 1O2 Remsen-st.,

Mr.. Orr said that there would be meeting OF
the Rapid Transit Commission this afternoon.
when the Commission would receive a committee
from the Council in reference 10 the arrange
ment of ceremonies to mark the beginning OF
the construction of the tunnel. Mr.. Orr added
that such ceremonies did not lie in the province
of the Commission. and that he personally would
prefer TO see the completion rather than the be-
ginning Of the construction of the tunnel cels-
brated He said that the committee asked for a
hearing, and naturally il was granted
Despite Mr.. Orr'S view of the celebration.
there is a widespread desire that the beginning
of work on the tunnel be marked by an appro-
PIRATE ceremony and John r. Mcdonald said
yesterday that he disposed to accede to the
popular wish if others would make the prepara-
lions. st. Patrick's Day would suit the con-
tractor very WELL and it was suggested TO him
that green sod might be turned up the first

that the only place along the route where he
could find green sod would be in park prop

1t was the first time that they had been under
fire, and they behaved exceIently.
Early on Friday a severe rifle fire was re-
sumed on the right and front from the positions
held over night by both sides. The British naval
guns, hOwitzers, mountain and field batteries
shelled the Boer trenches necessarily. The
Beers replied with two heavy guns, some of their
shells bursting over the hospital As a result,
the British wounded were removed.
During the afternoon the Fifth Brigade. the
Inniskillings and Dublins leading. began to ad-
up the hills. In spite of the constant she'll
ing the Beers stood up in their trenches. aiming
deliberately down the hills
The infantry advance was further covered by
parties on the right and left firing volleys. 1t
was slow, the British taking advantage of every
bit of natural cover. The Beers on the creStS
of the hills, well from the trenches part
Of the way down, poured lead along the ad
vancing line.
At dark the British infantry had reached
within few hundred yards of the first line of
Boer trenches.
London, Feb. 26.-"The Times publishes the
following dispatch from Coerso, dated Satur-
day:

War is hell"
One account states that General Cronie is
willing to surrender but the young Beers will
not listen TO it. Cronje conspicuous for in
sensibility during the Boer war of independence
when the surrender Of the Potchefstroom garri-
son was secured by the suppression of the news
of general armistice arranged between the
British and Dutch armies, and when prisoners
of war were forced TO work where they were
exposed to fire, and were shot down by their
own friends. This insensibility is now revealed
by him in his Indifference to the lives and suf-
ferngs Of his own men, who are conducting q
hopeless defence, and by his refusal of General
Roberts's offer Of medical aid and the protection
Of the women.
BoERs USING SOFT NosED BULLETS
The fate Of their entrapped comrades has also
hardened the hearts of the Beers who are striv-
ing TO rescue them. General Roberts renorts
that they are using hollow nosed Mauser bullets

been a delay in sailing. which has caused many
of them to believe that instead OF being assigned
to foreign service they will be sent to inland forts

rowboats are doing a profitable business by trans
porting deserters from the island at night The
