How far this plan will be adhered to, however, becomes a matter of conjecture since the authorization of the Cabinet is withheld. As for the cavalry division of feur squadrons it would appear that th, acheme of the militia department for its enrolment is alsoin abeyance. That the frame-work of each squadron will be the Northweet mounied police and Royal Canadian Dragoons is taken for granted. But no orders appear tu have been sent cut either to Toronto or Regina looking to | the release and reinlistment ot those two |

mounted bodies for service in South Africa.

KRUGER’S MALADY.

Bright’s Disease, the Formerly In- curable Malady that has Fast- ened Itself Upon che Boer President.

Cape Town, Dec. 18.—Bright’s Dis- eaete, thé disease which a trustworthy re- port states has attacked President Kruger, of the South African Republic, is considered incurable here. It is an tffi:ction of the Kidneys and d ctors state that it is invariably fatal. The disease was first diagnosed as a distinct disease by Dr. Bright, from whom it takes its

name.

It -is understood that a remedy | been discovered for Bright’s Disease in America in recent years called Dodd’s* Kidney Pills, and reports reach Africa to A the effect that cures are beiog made itn. England and Australia by the same medi- cine.

It is unlikely that the Dutch of the Transvaal are acquainted with Dodd’s

troops. He bore special orders from the Empress Dowager to uphold the Chinese cause and fight If necessary without fur- ther orders from Pekin. A skirmish from Chinese and French troops followed his refusal to longer temporize cver boundary negctiations. Half a dozen Frenchmen were wounded’ and sixty Chinese. MarshaiSu is preparing for » big fight.
