He is Sir Henry Horat’o Kiichener, brigadier general or sidar of the E, yptian army. Although he is only 45 years old, he is a veteran campaigner, and of fight ing Arabs he has made a specia'ty. Gen- eral Kitchener is an Irishman by birth haviag been born in County Kerry At the age of 21 he began his adventurous career as a soldier by obtaining a commission as a lieutenant in the Britis army.

He took an active part in the training of the native soldiers of the khed-

—“The worse the material, the greater the skill of the worker.” This is Gne of the celebrated axioms which the late Ed ward Thring, of Uppingham, said had been given him by his experience in the National schools in the suburbs of Glou- cester. The maxim is one that should be laidto beart by every teacher, and the Educational Journal remarks that the temptation to neglect the dullards, and’ to give an extra amount of atttention to the tright boys and girls, is very great. To do so is unjust and wrong. To fail with the dull ones is to prove oneself deficient in the highest qualifications for the

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—Halifax Herald: This starting of the grit campaign at Washington is at last suggestive.
—Farrar is working away at Washirg- ton. So it appears that the Liberals of Canada, have not quite br. ken their part- nerships with the Annexationists of the States !
—The description of the land set apart for a roadway in the bill mow before the Legis'ature seems to be somewhat obscure. We hove that the+ representatives of the city will eee to it that the city’s existing rights shal! not be legisiated away, and that there sha‘l be ve further room for dispute about the matier,
—Sir William Van Horne eays that io his opinion the most pressing ueeds of Canada are “a vigorous immigration policy, to be carried cut by a special com- misasion ; a first-class Atlantic ma‘] aid passenger service ; and the protection of the interest of the Dominion in the wiin- ing districts of Southern British Colum- bia.” The Week remarks that “.f some decisive step is not taken soon in the Pa- cifie Province its miuing districts will be in the hands of American capitalists. Uanadians are just a little too slow about taking advantage of the good things Nature gives them in such abundance.”
—The St. James Gaz-tte,in an article on the Manitoba schoo! Question, says that Sir Charles Tupper’s speeches cn the sub- ject indicate clearly and concisely the policy of the Canadian Government is the matter. The Dominion Gerernment, that paper says, has been coneistent and per- sistent in trying to dispose of the d ficulty without needless delay, upon the lines of the Britiel North America Act and the act uader which Manitoba became part or the Dominion of Canada.” This is an im- partial British opinion. The British peo- ple believe in fulfilling their contraet:. It must be gratifying tothe Governmeat of Canada to have their approval.
—In orderto cheer up Mr. Laurier’s unhappy fo lowers, the Globe has devct-d a zoo1 deal of space of late to dilating up a the brightness of the party’s prospects in Manitoba and the North-West. Its ob. servations do not seem to have been alto- gether satisfactory, for the Wiunipeg Free Press aliudes to them as follows: “ The Globe’s zeal asa party organ is running away withit. Out here in Western Can- ada we may not be as wise as the Toronto paper. We think, however, that we un- derstand what our own interests are quite as well as it doer; a large proportion of us, indeed, will go further and say better. But better or worse, or as much, we choone for ourselves, and we resent the imputation of the organ when it implies that we are fools for our pains.”

The Pacific Squadron Watching Corea
New York, April 18.—A special to the “Herald” from St. Petersburg says: Just at the moment when the British are thought to be occupied in other parts of the world a telegram to the ‘Novoe Vremya’ from Chemulpo announces that the British Pacific squadron has taken up a position of observation cff the coast of Corean pen- insula, and is being concentrated at Port Arthur and also at Port Hamilton. Far from being quiet, the Japanese are excit- ing tumults in Corea in order to show the fut'lity of Russia’s altempts to keep order. Yokouama, Apcil 17 —The Corean envoy to Japan has gone to Russia under the suthority of the king to negotiate a loan of $3,000,000, giving the Corean province ‘of

PRISONERS OF WAR. -~
Three More Insurgents Shot by the Spanish Authorities,
Tavana April 17.—Three pris ners < f war, Gregorice Borges, Esteban Hernan- dez and Jose Bacallao, were executed at 7 o’clock this morui g atthe Cubana fort- revs. They belongeu to an insurgent bard and were captured by the soldiers of the Arapiles battalion during the attack mate by the enemy on Managug.
Borges, while in the Si chapel of the fortress, was very nervous, and would only drink a little lemonade, while his companiona took something stronger.
Hernandez showed a very bold front and displayed admirable ceolness, He presented Dr. Gomez, whu had been ap- pointed to care fur the prisoners, with a gold be!t, and asked him.to write to his mother, and begzed her to pardon him for his misdeeds, while he assuring her that he died im the bosom of Christianity.
Bacailao in his ‘death bed,” as he term- ed it, was full of Ife, and even hanghty. He tried to run away from the chapel, as if by so doing he could shorten his period of torture by being shot and killed by the soldiers on guard. But he was watched so closely by the cfli:ers on duty that it was impossible for him to carry out his intention.
At 4.30 a.m. Bacallao and Hernandez had a breakfast of beefsteak and eggs, and each drank a cup of wine. They con- tessed to several priests, having been en- treated to conform to all religious cus- toms. This caused Bacal!ao to remark, “What isthe use of conforming in my case, father, considering that within a short time I have todie ?’
At 7 o'clock the square was realy and the troops were drawn up under Major Carlos Justiz. The prisoners were con- ducted there in the usual solemn manuer. Bacallao and Hernandez were courageous and cool, but Borges, who had been so ner- vous in the chapel, and who had refused any stimulant with his breakfast, turned out to be the bravest of all, and met his fate with the most remarkable courage.
Bacallao smoked a cigar during his last moments, and calmly threw it away as he knelt down with his face to the wall and his back towards the fi ing squad. Borges knelt down with his hands in his. pocket and cooly turned his head towards the sol dier3 who were to shoot him. Hernandez attentively watched the shadows of the -oldiers on the wall in front of him.
When all was ieady, the offiser in command of the squad lifted his sword, the rifles were simed, there was another movement of the sword, and the report of the volley echoed from the fortress wa'ls. Borges was killed outright, but Hernandez and Bacallao writhed on the ground after the shooting and it was found necessary to finish Hernandez with one “mercy thot.” Two n.ercy shots were necessary to send Bacallao to his account.
A PROTEST,
Sin,—The enforcement of that obnoxious bye-law respecting nuisances is going to ruin business in Charlottetown. For in- Sstance,a farmer comes to town witha heavy load in an express wagon. He has some trouble to sell his load, but he gets clear of itat last. Tired and hungry he starts for the boarding house where he al- ways puts up, but on arriving there he finds that the yard is full of wagons be longing to people who have got in- ahead of him. He gets out of his Wagon and commences to unbitch in ront of the house, as usual, but the landlord comes out and tells him that he can’t have his wagon there as the law won’t allow him. He tells him there is room for his horse in the stable, but no room for histwagon in the yard. The farmer then tries taget his wagon in other places but without success, until thoroughly disgusted with Charlottetown and the law makers he starts for home (without his dinner without his groceries and other things he intended to buy) vowing that it will be a long time before he comes back here again. This isa true picture of what will often happen under the enforcement of that bye-law. Please insert this and you will ob ige.

PARLIAMENT OF CANADA.
Opposition Still Obstructing, Poster andstanric Cor fer.
Orrawa, April 21.
Once more the Opposition has shown its capacity to fool away the people’s money by frivolous talk and obstruction.
Joe Martin got the floor early and talk- ed on the Manitoba and Nelson Valley Railway bills for two hours.
Better progress was made in the House in the evening session.
Hon. Mr. Foster asked the House to take up a resolution autgorizing a joan of $35000,000 for the national defence, but matter was laid over.
The resolution to advance $2,000,000 to the Montreal Harbor Commissiosers for redemption of beuds was passed and a bill
also a bill respecting a subsidy to the direct steamship line between Canada, France and Belgium.
At midnight Sir Richard Cartwright, having asked what business would be taken up to-morrow, Hon. Mr. Foster re- plied that the choice would be with the Opposition, as he supposed they would be at the sume old game of obstruction.
Mr. Laurier replied that the same busi- ness a3 to-day wonld suit, upon which the House adjourned.
Sir Charles Tupper gave a dinner last. night to President Whitney of the Domin- ion Coal Company. Senator McKeen and a large contingent of the Maritime Prov- ince members were present;
Hon. Messrs. Foster and Laurier had a conference to-day regarding the state of the public business. Mr. Foster stated that the supplementary estimates and some bills were vet.to come down.
Mr. Laurier said that when all the busi- ness was before the House, Foster and he would have a conference to decide which Should go through.
A report gained great currency round the lobbies to-night that Sir Mackenzie Bowel! had actually resigned the Premier- ship and that Sir Charles Tupper hed been sitrusted with the task cf forming @ mipistry,
While official confirmation to this re- portis lacking, Sir Mackenzie Bowell neither denying nor confirming it, the gengral belief is that the rumor simply antic pates that whichis not likely to te delayed nore than aday or two at tle very outside.
