CANADIAN SOLDIERS.

Tux letiers of members of the Canadian Contingent published in Tue Examiner will have givea our readers a very good idea of the conditions under which the Western campaign in South Africa is being carried on. There is abundance of sand and other gritty material in the coun- try,—as well as in, the troops, It is par- ticularly pleasing to bave assurance of the admirable conduct of the members of the Canadian Contingent, Mr. W. Richmod Smith, writing to the Montreal Star, de- seribes their labors repairing the railway and says :—

“But while the Canadians haye shown themselves not only willing to do work of this kind, while the regular British regi ments could not do, the great desire ef the men is to get to the fromt; and the way those boys have worked to get there ! Their experience on the Sardinian was bad enough, but since landing it has been bard work frem morning until night and all night at times. And euch a climate! From sunrise uotil eunset the sun beats down upon burrming sande until one has to gasp for breath. There is oo retief, no shade, pothing but that awful sun hea: which dries one up and brings on a burn- ing thirst which it is eeriousto fully quench with the dirty brown coffee-colour- ed water, the beet the ceuntry affords, rravelling up from Cape Town, two days on crowded railway coaches, the heat was intense. At De Aar, with its burning sand the discomfort of duet waa added to that of heat. Hereat Orange River it is worse still. It’s hotter, dustier, and not a drop of clean water in the place. It this keeps on we may soon expect to run up into 4 veritable Hades on this burning karroo! Imagine fighting all day in such a climate, lying in trenches of sand with the eun’s heat added to the heavy accurate fire of the enemy ! lm perial officers say this campaign is by a'| means the most diffieult and unsomfortable in modern times. It is a wonderful thing to see a regiment of Canadian volunteers, wholly unaceustemed to the kind of work required of them, day ip and day out, work- ing like beavers without a word of com- plaint. Whatever may be said of our discipline, there ie no second opinion re- garding the epirit and cheerfulness of our Canadian troops. They are earning their spura and wisping golden opinions even smong the veteran British officers here by their adaptability and cheerfulness. Then physieally, they are second to none. With the exoeption of the Australians I have not seen a single British regiment since I landed in South Afriea with any- thing like the physique and endurance of the Canadiane. Everywhere they are re marked for their fine appearance, aad when they do get under fire their conduct will be closely watched by not a few curious admirers among the Imperial offi- cere.”

While the bard conditions under which ihe figbt is -beimg condacted must excite our sympathies for the mes, everyone must commend and applaud the spirit of the men.

—A Germen officer in South Africa says:

“Joubert isa skilled and modern tac- tician, gettisg the vest ef his echemes from Von Moltke, of whom he is an ar- dent admirer and with all of whose writ« ings he is thoroughly conversant.

“The attacking forces,” be ssid “around Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kimberley are placed aceordiag toVon Moltke’s most ap~- proved ideas, em three sides, whieh is to- day reekoned the best method and surest means Of investing with the amallest num- ter of troops. Those were the means adopted at Koniggrapz and Sedan. As to German officers, they have done nothing in the technieal their efforts being en~ tirely confined to artillery, whieb has practically taken no baad in the factias.

“Joubert could give points almost to any member ef the Krieg academic. Were he inthe German army to-day, he would stand in poimt of knowledge in the high- est pesition.

NJTES AND COMMENTS .

—The War Office authorises the state- ment that the officials know noth ng ot the reported illness of Gen Metbuen.

—Itis suggested that the proper design~ ation of the British Ewpire in future shal! be “John Bull & Sons.”

—The annual meeting of the P. E. Ia land Farmers* and Dairymen’s Association will be heid this year at Marehfield begia- ping tomorrow at. 2 o’clock,

— Ottawa’s population has passed the 57,000 mark, so the newly iseued as- sessment report from 1899 states—the figure is 57,002, an increase of 1,600 since the previous year.

— Referring to the revelations of Ontario election courts, the Mail and Empire says that it would scorn to excuse wrongs for partisan ends or to attribute them to “the weakness of human nature as applied to political conditions. Corruption is bad when practised byany men, no ma ter what their political etripe, and by the way, ballot: stuffin g is woree.

—Some two weeks agos gentleman in this eity signified hie intention of giving the handsome sum of ten thousand dollara ($10,000) towards a Public Library for Charlottetown and expressed a desire to purchase the Y. M.C. A. Building, it being the most central and suitable place in which to house the library. The maiter was brought to the attention of the Execu- tive Committee of the Young Men’s Christian Association,—who, always anxi- ous to further any’ good object, took ims mediate action and called at the earliest possible date a general meeting of the whole association to decide the question whether they could or would sell. Ac. cordingly the meeting was held last night inthe Y.M.C. A. parlor. The meeting passed a resolution to! the effect that (io view of the worthy object for which the buiiding is desired) the Executive Com- mittee be empowered to sell placing the figure so low that it did not amount to one-third of the cost.

Carrington

Called.

Lonpox, Jan. 16.—-The interesting an- nouncement is made that Sir Frederick Carrington has been hastily summened from Belfast to the war office and that a2 important command in South Africa will be offered to him. He is a most experi- enced soldier who knows South Africa more intimately than any other British General except Sir Evelyn Wood, adjut- ant at General headquariers. He com- manded the celonial forces against Seku- kuni in the Transvaal anc the native levies ia the Zulu region. He also Jed the co- lonial forces in the Baeuto war, and was commandant of the Bechana police seven years ugo and military adviser to the governor in the Matabele war. It has been considered remarkable that the war office has not availed itself of his experi- ence in Souta Africa. It is rumoured that he will be offered the command of the English division, and it is also suggested im come influential quarters that he may relieve Methuen.

Kruger’s Policy,

Lonpox, Jan 16.—A despatch to the Deily Mail, dated Saturday, January 13, from Lorenzo Marquese, says:

‘President Kruger has iseued a pro- clamation erdering all burghers to the front. The Velkeetem, the Transvaal official organ, suggests that the moment the Rritish cross the border the gold in~ dustry should be irretrievably destroyed.

“President Kruger has also issued a circular, dated January 8, to Boer com- mandentsand burghers, urging them to show more energy in the Transvaal canee. He quotes Pealm XXIII, verse 7, as God- given inetruction to the burghers, and says that the British have fixed their faith im Psalm LXXXIII. He also quotes Psalm LXXX(X verses 13 and 14 and asserts that he has searched the Bible without heing able te find any other mode which can be followed by the Boers, who ‘“‘must fight in the mame of the Lord,”

“Commandeering is proceeding busily at Pretoria, where the towa guard ia ex- changisg Mausers for Martinis, the former being badly needed at the froat.”
