1hs African wsr.

Recent reports from the seat OF
was iu South Africa have not been
such as to re-assure the British
people. The Beers have made a
series OF sudden and unex pected
attacks upon the British outpost.,
aud have Inflicted a succession OF
defeats indicating that the power
OF the Beers to assume offensive
operations is by no means broken.
Ga September 18th, body Of Beers
ambushed three companies Of
mounted infantry with three guns.
The British we're overpowered, and
lost their guns, but destroyed their
usefuluess before giving them up.
Two officers and fourteen men we're
killed, and five officers and twenty
five men we're wounded. Even
more serious in it's consequences is
the fact that five officers and one
hundred and fifty men, were taken
prisoners. General Kitchener an
fiBounesd, scfne time ago, that the
Beers who remained in the field
after September 18th were to be
banished from the country. 1t is
evident that the Boer leaders are
prepared to make counter tactics
to this latest British move, and to
hold the prisoners as hostages to
prevent the carrying out of Lord
Kitchener's programme. They also
evidently intend to make raids into
Cape Colony and Natal, and make
reprisals on the British inhabi, ants
if the decree OF forfeiture and
Punishment is carried out. The
recent movements of the Beers
prove that they have the ability to
carry out this program me, and the
situation OF the British is therefors
much more serious. s.than was gener-
ally supposed. AS to the final out.
come of the struggle there is little
room for doubt. The correspond
ence between the Boer leaders, that
was made public few weeks ago.
proved that they realize. they are
now fighting for lost cause, They
are dstesmiped to. fight to the bitter
end, however, under the orders of
President Kruger. who said, in reply
to a proposal for surrender from
General Kitchener: "Continue
fighting. Alleviatiou will be sent
when needed. Enough Ffor the
present" The war has been a
heavy burden to Great Britain, but
increased efforts will shave to be
made if it is not to be continued
for an indefinite period.-The Ar
gonaut.

Again The INDEPENDENT is justified
in the position it has consistently
held.-that a Board OF Health
should not be composed of medical
men; that board of business men
with salsried physician as con-
sultanS on matters purely profes.
sional is the kind of board that
will be the most usaful to a COM
munity. The refusal OF our board
to permit the treatment of one or
two lepers by an educated physician,
one holding diplomas from both of
the leading schools OF medicine, is
grievous blunder. Every psrson in
this territory is interested in this
question raised between Dr.. Augur
and the board. II the disciple of
Hahpnemann, the hop9 ,Psth bsi
.lieves that He-can alleviate or sure,
the sufferer from the scourgs OF
leprosy he should be afforded every
opportunity to do so. The interests
of humanity demand it.

The Board of Health seems uu-
able to understand, that it is very
inferior branch OF the Government.
The members of the board believes
that they can dictate to the terri
torial offices and stop the measury
OF the Superintendent OF Public
Works, because they, to the idea Of
a few doctors, hurt the patients at
the Asylum for Iusane,. Cannot
the members of the Board OF Health
comprehend that we are DOW Amsri-
canized and the will OF the people
must bs done7 The disgr aceful
policy Of the Government in cancel
ling the "Act to Mitigate" is due to
the Board Of Health, the medical
members Of which ought to be able
enough to know what the results
nat urally would be.

CHICAGO Oct 14-Wheat was considerably
more active and firmer and continued in the
steady upward tendency it has shown for the
past week Local conditions in the pit operated

conditions, helped prices and December opened

Russian crop fell off, the movement in the
Northwest was hampered by wet weather
there was a decrease in the amount of bread
stuffs on passage and in world shipments
primary receipts somewhat decreased and
there was small improvement in exports
These all gave strength to wheat, but on the
early rise holders of long and oats be-
gan to unload and thus bereft wheat of some
of it's buoyant feeling and December sold off

cember rose to 7ON671c. Profit taking at the

ers Of the control of St. Paul to Union Pacific
compensation for REIMBURSEMENT OF the
control of Northern Pacific to the Morgar-Hill
interests does not find great credence. Such
settlement would not provide for the neutral
ization Of the Burlington system as a COM
petitor of the Union Pacific which was the
vital contention of Union Pacific throughout
the quarrel. Nevertheless st. Paul showed It
self the most sensitive stock in the market
to-day, falling early in the day ~ below Sat
urday, and rising later to 2A above The rest
of the market followed the movement in St
Paul, though over lesser range throughout
In spite of favorable interpretations of Sat
urdays bank statement there is some uneasi-
ness persisting in the safety of the money
market for the rest of the season. The SEEM
ingly acute demand for funds at Paris
awakens considerable surmise to the ex-
tent of the demands to be satisfied at that
center. The prevailing ease of money in Lon
don is dependent upon the large amounts of
French capital loaned in that market and
heavy Withdrawals from London may have
markets continues much depressed. At the
same time 1t is to be noted that the rise in
sterling exchange here has been checked. To-
days action by the Bank of England in ad-
vancing the price of American eagles even
indicates some apprehension of future de-
demand for sterling exchange for the purpose
of repayment of foreign borrowings come to

report that there is some doubt among specu-

deal with the Eastern syndicate and the eau

rumor that the company had declined to ac-
