SpecrAL DESPATCH TO THE EXAMINER.

HOME DEFENCE.

Lorpon, Feh. 13.—In the House of Commons, yesterday, Mr. Wyndham rose, amid cheers, when the house went into committee of supply, ané said that he did nor propose to deal with the ques- tion on the prosecution of the war, but would proceed immediately to outline military measures necessary for the plac- ing of home defence on 4 satisfactory footing.

The Government, he continued, bad not even considered the question of compulsory service which was entirely uanecessary in view of the activity of recruiting for auxiliary forces. Since the war 19,000 recruits had joined uader existing condi- tions, and he poiated out that if improved | facilities were offered, he antic'pated thats vo'ustary auxiliary forces, if their effi- ciency was increased, would eas.ly suffice for paseive defence and to garrison the sea ports and other positions. They might even be qualified for undertaking

more onerous duties.

The Goverument proposed to put the pay ofthe militia on the same scale as that of the regulars and embody the whole militia during the spring and summer.

The volunteer artillery would be re- armed and a higher capitation grant would be given the volunteers coupled with a demand for higher efficiency.

A mounted infantry volunteer corps would be formed and the yeomaary would be treated on the same broai prin- ciples.

[he artillery army service corps and engineers necessary for two additional army corps weuld be raised forthwith ,~

namely, thirty-eix field batteries and seven horse batteries.

The speaker also said it had been de- cided to raise twelre additional infantry

battalions. Continuivg, Mr. Wyndham said the ex-

isting cavalry forces would also be ex-~ panded by eeveo regiments and that com- missions would be cffered to militia offi. cers in the colonies and to the univerei- ties.

At present, the speaker further pointed out, there were 109,000 regulars in th ceuntry and the increase was antic paied to be 30,009.

There were now 328,000 men in the auxiliary forces and it was estimated,t hat the increase would be 500,000 men,

So, altogether, the country would sco have at least 517,000 men under arms,

aumber would be nearer 600,000 than haif a million.

AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT.

Lonpon, Feb. 13.—Little news is pub- lished this moraing from the theatre of operations in South Africa.

All seems quietat Modder River. But new regulations have been issued by vhe press censor and from the fact that corres pondents, while assured of more liberty of action later have been warned for the next few days that \ ery few telegrams will be allowed to go through, it msy reason- ably be inferred that some important mevement is in progress, to the success of which secrecy is essential.

A NINTH DIVISION.

Loxspox, Feb. 13,—Apparently Lord Roberts is organizing at Modder Kiver a complete army corp?. A telegram from the Chronicl’s ecorret- poudent states that General Colvilie, who has till now commanded the Guards Bri- gade, has been given the rank of Lieut. General and eommand of the Ninth Division, This is a new division evident. ly to be organized locally.

There are already seven divisions in South Africa and an eigh:h is mob liz-d at Aldershot.

Lonpon, Feb. 138 —Spencer Wilkinson, discussing the military e@ituation in the morning Post today, refers to a Capetown letter, dated, Jan. 23rd, which asserts that General Roberts will allow no move- ment until the transport organization is complete,and says “it is probable,therefore

the arrival of Lord Roberts at Modder River is the tigeal for action.

Francis Trainor, Administrator of Mor- gan Hiochey vs.gMorgan Uandrigan.

This is asuit to administer the estate of one Morgan Hinchey, a native of Nev» foundland, but who for many years re- sided in Prince Edward Island and was

io the employ of Hall and Myrick. He died in Rustico tour years ago. By his will he left $700 to

plsintiff to pay such orders as deceased would leave and for plaintiff's time and trouble. Hinchey died without leaving any orders and the question now arises as towho gets the $700. Trainor, the admivistrator, claime that he is entitled to it for his own use. On the other hand, the defendant claime that it shauld go to the next of kin of deceased, and, as oue of them, cal! for a share.

The argumient is proceeding as we go to press,
