GENERAL BULLER REPLIES TO A PRO-

TEST ABOUT OPENING OF PRIVATe LETTERS.

ee eee Se

The case for the rigorous, but temporary censorship of all letters and telegrams in Natal, which has marked the progress of the campaign in that colony, 1s clearly and forcibly put by General Buller in a minute dated March 3 last. From this minute, which forms part of return just laid on the table of the British House of Commons, it appears that complaints having reached him, Mr. A. H. Hine, the Prime Minister of Natal, addressed a letter to the Governor of the colony which contained the following _pas- sage :—

The opening of private letters is an act hateful to the mind of every Eng- lishmen, and it should therefore only be resorted to under extreme necessity. Of late the indiscriminate opening of letters, no matter to whom addressed, has caused much adverse comment and indignation,and the manner in which it has been carried out appears tohawe been unnecessarily rigorous and unquisitorial.

This communication the Governor, in due course, sent on to the genera! officer commanding the lines of com- munication in Natal. In reply, Gen- eral Wolf Murray explains that a strict censorship, ‘‘which only lasted three or four days and then ceased,” was in- stituted, with his approyal, in accord- ance with instructions from Army headquarters. finally, General Bul- ler addressed a letter to the Governor of Natal under date March 3 last.

General Buller’s letter was worded as follows :—

‘‘T quite agree that there is a natural objection to opening letters, but it is also true that there is on the part of a general officer commanding a natural repugnance to having his plans dis- closed or his men killed because other- wise estimable people like to write the latest news to their friends. General Wolfe Murray puts this case fairly and says exactly what happens, and I have only to add that those whose duty it is to open correspondence are selected with the utmost care, and that no attempt is made to conceal the fact that letters have been opened. In war all sorts of things have to be done that one deplores, I can truly spy that I have endeavoured to make the rigour of martial law as little inconvenient as possible. I have succeeded on two or

tions. I have surprised him when I have exercised a censorship over private letters. I would ask all loyal citizens to believe that no one abhors such a censorship more than I do and that I shall never unncessarily have re- course to it.”

GOOD FATHER O'LEARY. (Toronto Mail and Empire.)

Of all the chaplains who went with the Canadian Contingent good words are spoken. It is of interest to note that Protestants as well as Catholics are loud in their praises of Father O’Leary, the Roman Catholic chaplain. This priest was here, there, and everywhere, and was most kind to all, irrespective of creed. At Paarrdeburg Father O’Leary buried all the dead, using the Church of England service for the Protestants. One poor fellow, a Pro- testant, who was wounded and dying, was ministered to by Father O’Leary. The kindly clergyman borrowed a prayer’ book and read to him and prayed with him, observing to the soldier from whom he got the book ,

THE GREAT FORCED MARCH.

A correspondent of the London Times writing from Mateking concern- ing the relief of that place, says that in the midst of all the rejoicings “‘we have overlooked one of the fiuest forced marches ever made,” and then pro- ceeds to give the details of the progress o' the Canadian artillery under Major Hutton, and of the Queenslanders from Stellenbosch, into Cape Town, and theace to Mafeking. His sum- ming up is as follows:

In order to gappreciate the pluck and perseverance shown by the Can- adian artillery and Queenslanders on this occasion, one must consider the obstacles they had to contend with on the line uf march. To start with, many of the men arrived at Marandel- las without coats, as_ these had been burnt off their backs by sparks from the engine, which is fed by wood fuel and does not carry a spark protector on the funnel. The rolling stock is ab- solutely deficient, and the men sat in open trunks on their ammunition, baggage. etc., expesed to the great heat by day and at night toa biting cold and fever mist, which makes itself felt after sundown; add to this the con- | stant danger by fire, which had to be very carefully guarded against on ac-| count of the ammunition. At Maran-| dellas, when every available coach and. wagon had been procured, it was found that the men would have to sit on top ofthe ammunition and baggage, so} ‘that once more they were forced to undergo the severe trial of having to sit through the long day’s jolting ina’ mule wagon, very much overcrowded, and often unable to move in order to change their positions and relieve their strained aud cramped limbs. Yetthey | did it without a murmur, and reached their destination, a distance of nearly 700 miles, which they had completed by train and mule wagon, in eight days. Their journey from Stellen- bosch to Mafeking, via Cape Town, a distance of 3,130 miles, was accom- plished in thirty-three days, and includ- ed, roughly speaking, 1,900 miles by sea, 120 miles marching, 300 miles in mule wagon and nearly 800 miles by train.

When Mrs, Patrick Campbell tle celebrated English actress, made her first hit in the part of Paula Tanqueray, her husband who was recently killed at, the front, was serving in South Africa. The regiment was finally ordered! home, and Campbell, of course, came) }with it. Shortly before the regiment; was to sail Sergeant Campbell stood talking with some friends in the bar of the Beach Hotel at Durban. One of. them was glancing tarough an English | paper. ‘Ah, here’s a picture of th2 new actress they’re all so mad about} in London,’jhe said. Eve y ne took a iook at the picture and after some} ) discussion of her appearance one of the men said in a jocular way: —*‘ Mrs. Petrick Campbell! Why, Pat, is she anything to you ?”

After the general laugh which follow- ed his friend’s remark, he raised his glass and hesitated : ““Oh—a—yeg,” he said—“that is—she’s my wife. WHere’s to her.”

REQUIRES MUCH COURAGE.

MISSIONARY WORK IN THE FLOWERY

KINGDOM NO EASY TASK,

No man is likely to take up mission work in China with a view to an easy billet. The largest of the English soci- eties, the China Inland, never asks for a penny. It sends out its agents with- out any guarantee of salary, and obliges them to wear native dress and adopt native habits. Its idea is that the European in the interior of China should be able to live decently on about £50 a year. Those of its agents who have private means, as many of them have, support themselves,

in the old pioneer days the mission- ary was sent out to China to get along as best he could. This is no longer so. The young evangelist first goes under the charge of some old worker, where he spends the most miserable two years in his life in studying the language. When he can talk without making the natives break into laughter at every sentence he goes to work.

There are five main methods along which all the missionary societies work. Those are the distribution of literature, medical missions, the care of orphans, education, and preaching. The preach- er sees a likely spot and they send native colporteurs there with literature. Soon after the missionary himself comes and preaches from the steps of a temple, or at any convenient spect in the open air. If it is a place where no Europeans have been before he has a terrible time. The crowds flock around him. With the best humor in the world they peer into his face, handle his hair, maul his garments and give him no peace. But vut of the crowd Oue or two are interested, and come by night and inquire further. The work has begun.—[ London Daily Mail.
