New Fire Ordnance

In a short time the fire committee
Of City Council, Of which Joseph E.
Catferty Is chairman, will present
new fire ordinance 10 Council. The
new law will provide that when an
engine company sends its engine
away from the city for repairs, to be
gone over certain time, 1T shall Sc
cure another engine for service DUR
Ing the time its own steamer is away
1t is likely that some of the fire.
men will oppose the new ordinance
on the ground that it imposes hard.
ship upon them. In answer u this
the fire committee points out that
recently when the Fame Company
engine was sent away for repairs, the.
Company secured another engine at
its own expense and never went out
Of service with any of its apparatus.
1t is also claimed that one engine be.
ing out Of the city for repairs might
cause serious inconvenience and some
loss.
At present the Reliance engine is
away for repairs. This week call
came from Pennsgroye and the Lib,
erty and Friendship engines were
sent to the assistance OF that place.
In consequence of this the Phoenix
and Washington engines were left
alone to protect the eastern section
Of the city. The Reliance IS making
every effort to hurry work on its en-
gine and is only following the usual
custom, but the committee feels the
custom is dangerous aud wants to
break 1t up and compel each engine
company to always have an engine in
service. 1t Is not believed that the
expense to the CON panies for the
rent Of an engine would be great.

TEACHERS ARE

As there is so much dis abstraction
being expressed in the running Of all
the city departments, the teachers Of

that they enter protest as to The way

The teachers declare that SO much

some Of them are on the border Of

designations from the teaching force.

BRODRICK ANSWERS TRADUCERS.
Says Kitchener Has HAd All the
Troops Asked For and the Cow
ernment Has Entire Confidence
In His Leadership.

III HIS I.eAOership'
LONDON, Oct. ia dispatch to the
Central News from Durham, Natal.
says the Ropr commander General
Botha is in full retreat and is being
hotly pursued by General Bruce Ham
flton's troops and other British col
umns.
Lord Kitchener reports to the war Of
fec that the constahulary have recap
tured Il seven FOUNDER which they had
lost last July. He also states that Grn-
aral Rotha, the Roer commander III
chief. who has recently been operating
in Xululand, has crossed the Pivaan
river on his way north.
The secretary Of war, Mr. Bro'lrick.
replying to Sir Charles Howard YIN
cents offer to raise fresh troops OF do
anything else to assist the government
declines the proposal and in doing so
IengthIy reviews the British position
in South Africa obviously in answer to
the persistent and searching criticisms
of the ministerial journals and menu
bcrs of parliament that the government
Is languidly content to let the war drag
on. Mr. Brodrick says. to begin with,
that nothing Lord Kitchener has asked
for has not been promptly met He
adds:
1--WE have roughly 100000 men and
45O guns in South Africa. and over
100000 men are under training at
home. We have no difficulty, therefore.
in keeping the field army up to its req
uistc strength by drafts, and II fur
tller call be made we are in II position
to meet it with the utmost plompshude.
Notwithstanding this there seems to he
nn impression abroad that the close Of
the war is retarded by Il scarcity of
,rOopS or the want of mobility OF our
columns"
This impression Mr. Brodrick COM
bats by reciting what the war office Is
doing providing supplies for 3l4Ooo
persons directly or indirectly connected
with the war, feeding 24S,OO0 horses
and mules and maintaining four
months reserves of food for men and
animals. Sixty-nine mobile columns,
perfectly equipped. are now in the field.
and 10000 remonnts are being landed
monthly. besides those captured.
Mr. Brodrick says the anxiety can he
set at rest at home. The government
has never interfercd with Lord kilche-
ner, in whose vigorous prosecution Of
the war they have entire confidence.
He points out again the vast extent Of
the country.
Abiding to Lord Kitchener's sending
back poorly trained yromanly, Mr..
Brodrick replies that they would have
been trained earlier but for the opinion
Of military advisers in South Africa
and at home up TO November, 1900,
that no fresh troops We're needed.
when Lord Kitchener asked for
9OD more" says the war secretary,
"the government sent out to him G1WW
fresh troops during the first six months
Of 1901, besides arms for 10000 local
