A Great Hottentot Leader.

The British have killed MoRENGA, the
famous Hottentot chief, and German
Southwest Africa breathes more freely.
The Deutsche Koionia. seituno called him
"the ableet leader of our enemies in the
war of lsO4-1sOs." When the natives
could fight no longer MoRENGA and some
of his followers trek ed away into the
thirst land Of northwestern Cape Colony
and the Cape Government sent word
that he might live there if he would settle
down and raise cattle instead Of terroriz-
ing whites in the German colony.
But MoRENGA would not settle down.
The Governor Of Cape Colony tele-
graphed on August II that MoRENGA
had gone back TO his mountains in the
German colony. The Cape police had
followed his track to the border and he
had crossed il with 400 fighting men.
This was unwelcome new in Berlin.
The newspapers asked il the war was
to begin all over again, 'and n of
them suggested that it might be money in
the pocket of the Government to offer a
reward of 10000 marks for the head of
the rebel leader. An army officer replied
that rewards for MoRENGA, dead or alive.

native would deal treacherously with
him. OF course the British Government
washed its hands of him, and Sir EDWARD
GREY informed Germany that MoRENGA
would no longer have the right Of asylum

MoRENGA failed in his efforts to re-
kindle the instruction and Dor crossed

The Latest News From The Hague

On October l6 the ninth plenarv sitting
of the peace conference opened and three
reports were submitted from the COM
nit,ees charged with the examination of
questions concerning obligatory arbi-
t~ration, the establishment of a perma-
nent international court and General
PoRTER's proposal with regard to the
method Of collecting contractual debts.
The outcome Of the proceedings was that
nothing Of practical value was accom-
plished, only a ~perfunctory' declaration
Of principles, which is to have no definite
and immediate application, being adopted
with the prescribed unanimity.
Mr.. CHoATE's project for the establish
ment OF a permanent international court,
4 project which has been amended re-
poatedly in committee, obtained thirty
eight affirmative votes, which, however,
constituted only a moral Endorsement,
because ak countries, namely, Belgium,
Denmark, Greece, Rumania, Switzerland
and Uruguay, abstained from voting,
and the assent given by Mexico, Brazil
and eleven other Latin American States,
together with Persia and China in the
Old World, was qualified with reserves.
It il well known that the project vas
wrecked by the apparent impossibility
Of reaching an agreement with reference
TO tho composition of the court. A bench
composed OF forty-four judges would
obviously be unwieldy, yet Brazil and
other Latin American oommonwealths
insisted that every State participating in
the conference, including ever Hayti and
Santo Domingo, should be represented
in the tribunal. We may take for granted
that no permanent international court
Of arbitration will be organized unless,
in the interval which must elapse before
the meeting Of the third conference, an
agreement on some practicable scheme
can DO reached by diplomatic negotia-
lions. So far, then, AZ the principal
object OF the promoters Of peace is con
cerned, to wit, the creation OF machinery
adapted TO further the substitution Of
arbitration for war, the four months work
OF the present conference will have gone
practically for nothing.
General PORTER was slightly more for
tunate than was his colleague, Mr..
CHoArE, for thirty-nine votes we're reg
istered in approval Of his proposal that
no coercive measure for the collection Of
c~ontractual debts shall be taken until the
creditor country shall have offered arbi-
tration and the debtor country shall have
refused II or have left the offer unan
swered, or until after the debtor country
shall have refused or neglected to abide
BY the decision of the arbitrator agreed
upon. General PORTER also, however.

II thus appears that nearly one-third Of

The increase in Canada's population and
the consequent expansion OF her productive

The st. Marys Racing Association opened
its Initial meet of The season here today
The attendance was good. considering that
1t is t busy season for farmers. The

in which Mr.. Fairfaxs King Redwood w
