A Regret.

Sir,—Some time ago there appeared, in the columus of Tue Examiner, a letter, which was written by me, complaining that I had bees informed that Mr. George McCormack, school inspector for the Eastern district of the Island, was using his influence over teachers and students in order to sell them Itfe in: urance. Since that time. Mr. McCormack bas proved to my eatisfaction that this information was not correct, I therefore take this means of ex- pressing my regret thatsuch a letter was written by me as I have nove but the most friendly feelings for Mr. McCormack. I may, however, add for his information that the person from wiiom I received my infermation is anemplover ofthe very company for whictt I accused Mr. McCor- mack of working. I have no doubt, how~ ever, but whatit was the earnest desire which this person has to convey the idea that his company is doing a “rushing business,” rather than any Gesire to injure Mr. McCormack, which caused him to give utterance to the statements which have caused so much annoyance.

A Criticism.

Sir,—I see by the daily papers,Guardian and Patriot, of this week, that a Guard of Honor is detailed to receive his Hovour the Lieut-Governor on Tuesday next at the opening of the Local Legislature, and that the command of this guard is given to Major Weeks of the Charlottetown Eugineer’s. Now, sir,if I understand the military regulations aright the detail of a Guard of Honor for this purpose consists of 1 Captain, 2 Lieutenants, 4 Sergeants and 100 rank and file. Surely the D. O.C., of No. 12 district ie aware that a Guard ot Honor is not a Major’s command, and on referring to G. O., No. 5, 1897, under tne head of “Engineers,” I find the following :—To be Major, Captain and Brevet- Major Wiiliam Arthur Weeke,” 9th January, 1897.

In referring to District ordere,of the 23rd March, 1898, the dedail is as follows Cb’town Engineers, 1 Capt., 1 Sergt-Major, 2 Sergts., 46 Sappers; 82nd Bautilion, 1 Adjutant, lst Lieut, 2nd Lieut., 2 Sergeants, 60 Privates.

How can it be possible for Major Weeks to take command in the face of regu!ations and orders,and also under the above detail ? I could understand the matter if ‘Mejor Weeks’ were a Brevet-Major and Captain. But when he attains the substantive rank of Mejor, his command of Guard of Honor ceases. Probably the D. O.Com-~- mander could explain.
