SITUATION AT MAFEKING,

Loxpox, May 16,430 a. m.—*“Oar supply of food will Jaet until about June 10th” is the latest official word from BadensPowell at Mafeking, seat to Rob- erts under date, May 7ih.

Five daye later the Boers attempted to }etorm the town and itis possible that | they may suceeed, although nothing is ; knewn of the attacks or results, except through Pretoria sources which have no couatenance here.

The British relief columa is due there now.

Tem days ago, General Snyms was having difficulty in keeping the Barghers together owing to the approaches of the British, and when the last associated press despatcn left Mafeking (May 7th) | the Boers had killed, on the previous day, | one of the horse guards and had captured

several of Baden-Poweli’s few remaining ' horses.

A RUMOR. ’

Liezex, May 16.—Itis rumoured here that President Kruger has ordered the Portuguese Consul t> leave the Transvaal Republic.

BRABANT GAINING GROUND.

Loypox, Mey .—According to latest reports the Transvaal army have taken a position at Blaauwaschdoorpt Pass, near Heilbron road station, fifty mi'es north of Krooastadt.

Ite rear guard is etill heldiog the hills north of the Valeeh River, while the Boer scoate sre in toueh with the British reconnoitriog parties twenty miles north of Kroonstadt.

The Boers have held a Councils of-war at Lindley, and Britiah spies have jearned that the Boera decided to hold Harri- smith as loog as possible.

Lord Roberts’ infantry are still at Kroons‘adt.

Railway laborere are hard at work and the engineers hope to have the line re- paired within three days.

The prairie has put on ite russet wiater coat. Nights sre bitterly cold; but the days are het.

The Free Staters are surrendering in jarger numbers thax after the occupation of Bloemfonfein.

Qne officer of the Transvaal artillery eays there will be no serious fighting this side of Pretoria, as Beceering=on-the~Vaal is indefensible.

Heavy gups are being mounted at Pretoria, but Generals Botha and Lim- mer are agreed that ulsimate success is impossible. President Kruger is obstin- ate, and the majority of the Transvaalere hold firmly with him and estimated that Tranevaalers can still muster 36,000 men ow the fighting line.

@eners! Buller’s advance was by the instractions of Roberts, and it will cease

or go forward as Lord Roberts may di- rect.

Y EXAMINE

‘T0 THE ELECTORS OF THE | SECOND DISTRICT OF QUEENS

| COUNTY.

'

GENTLEMEN :—On the ninth of this ; month Mr. Speaker Cummiskey,of Fort

session ordered me,your representative, (to be forcibly dragged from the seat which I have held from you for a great number of years. This order was promptly carried out in the presence of the members on both sides of the

House by the officials, whose pay as well as that of the gentlemen who com- manded them depended on my expul- sion from the Chamber.

Why was this done?

In the summer of 1897 you elected meas a supporter of the then Peters gov- ernment in conjunction with my then colleague the Hon. Donald Farquiar- son. He and I fought that election side by side, as we did many others ; and you know I did all in my power to to elect him, Mr. Peters, as yeu will remember, promised us an arbitration with the Ottawa Government as a re- sult of which our treasury was to re- ceive a very large amount of money from Canada, ridding us of taxation forever. Seeing that Mr. Davies oc- cupied a protiifent placein the Do- minion Government, I had every faith that Mr. Peters’ promise would be ful- filled. I confess however, that when I found Mr _ Peters’ shertly after the election leaving the Proviace and settling in British Columbia without moving his Anger to make his promise good, my confi- dence became somewhat shaken. Notwithstanding, I was willing that his successor, Mr. Warburton,skould re- ceive a fair trial and I gave him a cor- dial support. He remained premier but a short time and went out without accomplishing anything, having taken the first vacancy in the judiciary ef the Province. In the meantime our affairs were becoming worse and werse, heavy taxes, large annual deficits, the debt mounting higher and higher, weakness and incompetency in the governmert, and dissatisfaction and disappointment ameng the people. In- spite of all this I was loathe to leave and vote against my party even when Mr. Farquharson became Mr. Warbur- ton’s successor, always heping that semething would turn up from Ottawa to relieve our distressed circumstances. But the only help from that quarter that has appeared on the herison is for Mr. Pineau, and not for the province! But when I saw Mr. Farquharson who had been for years obtruding himself in the very front ramk of extreme tem- perance men, denouncing license as a thing morally wrong and accursed ef God, suddenly jumping jim crow aad carrying into law a license act for Char- lottetown, and a little ever a year ago when a vacancy took place in the Gov- ernorsbip, striving with might and main to get it, imploring for the sake ef tem- perance, the family, the home and God himself that he should be appoint- ed, I was ferced to the conclusior that I was supperting a pack of political theives, devoid of honer and principle, whose cenduct was only actwated by the basest and mest sordid of motives, and so I gradually and reluctantly came to the conclusion thatI must come out from among them. Reluct- antly,-yes. I had loyally supperted the party all my life,and there is no one who has had te de with pelitics but understands how strong party ties are. But knowing‘and feeling that these men were utterly incempetent, and that they were only holding on to power to premote their ewn selfisa aims, 1 was overpowered with the conviction that the sooner they were driven inte pri- vate life the better; and solI deter- mined to vote, and did vote against them at the last session of the Legisla- ture. This did net acemplish very much, because the government had a majority without my vote. Butasa result of the bye-elections, my vete would place them in a minority at this session of the Legislature. Under these circumstances, and as I helieve |
