Monrreat, Feb. 1.—The Star’s special cable, dated Belmont, yesterday, says :

The colonial troops are now being giver ao i.oportant share in an Operation which Lord Roberts is inaugurating for the in» vasion of the Orange Free State.

Both the Caveadiins and Australians who have been emp! yed upon the lines of communication are being used to aid the imperial authorities in clearing the norths ern part of Cape Colony of the rebels who are so impeding the progress of the British troopa. e

A strong party of Australians and Canadians left Belmont a week ago—five hundred etroog—for @ reconnsiasance on the Tredear district.

The enemy were found Badenborst, oo the Riet river.

After a smart fight, in which none of our men were injured, the rabels were cleared out, and Col. Boyd, Commandant at Belmont, ordered the establishment of a permanent force at Richmond, twelve miles west of Belmont.

A eompany of Canadians with a mount- ed force wtll be left to garrison the post from which an advance will be made to clear out the rebels of the district.

It may be that we are in for some smart work.

All are well. TO ARMS.

ANOTHER SCHEME.

Loxpoy, Feb. 1.—A correspoadent of the Limes at Lorenzo Marques says that information has been received here from the Transvaal that the war department is corvinced that it would be ussless to storm Ladysmith, and that the bombard- ment will continue ineffective,—has de- cided upon a change of tact’cs.

Huge quantities of timber and sand- bags and handreds of Keftirs have been sent from Jobannesburg and Pretoria for the purpose of damming the Klip river some miles below Ladysmith,the idea being to flood the town and drive the eeldiers and inhabitants out of their bomb-proof caves @O aS to expose them to shell fire,

The census was alluded to, and among the bills to be promoted by the Govern~ ment are measures to amend the banking and franchise act.

The Senate reform resolutions are to be pressed, although no allusion was made to this fact in the epeech. The principle as enounciated last year by the Premier is to be adupted.

The fet> of a Government measure after it has been rejected by the Senate is to be letermined by a joint vote of both Houses.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT.

The South African Question Dis- cussed

HOUSE OF §LORDS.

Ia the House of Lordson Tuesday, of Kimberley, congratulated 4 Lord Salisbury on the conclusion of the agree. ment with Germany but strongly disep- proved of the tone of Mr. Chamberlain’s speeebes. Ia that connection, however be paid a warm tribute to the conduct of the soldiers in the ficld. The Karl of Kimberiey, continuing, said that although the m asot was one uf the deepest gravity he would pot entirely abstain from criti- cising the conduct of the generals. The Government would be wise if it made every effort to prezare thorougble for what might occur in the fuiure. The Gov ernment does not seem to have been aware ofthe scale of preparations of the South African Republice.

Lord Silisbary said in reply to the Ear! of Kimberley that there was nothing the Liberal leader the Earl in the stipulation of the conventions to limit and hinder the importation of arms and ammunition into the Transvaal through Lorenzo Marques. Continuing, the Premier said: “Why were we to know about the importation ef arms? 1 believe guns were iutroduced iato the Transvaal in boilers cud munitions of war io piano cases. Consider the enor- mous amounts spent by other govers- ments on secret service, especially the Transvaal, which I have beard on high diplomatic autnority, spent £800 009 in a and the

single year, small sums epeot by England, makieg it impos- elble for us to have the omniacience

attributed to us by Lerd Kimberley.” Later the Premier admitted the defici- encies of the existing system, remarking thet the treasury had acquired « power ) which was not to,the public benefit. ““We ' must joia together,” he said, “and exer- cise all Our powers in extricating our selves frem a situation full of humiliation and not free from danger. I will not say dangsr may not have easi!y been exagger- ated. Many acountry has commenced a war with difficulty of the kind we exper- eace, We have work which appeals to us aw subjects of the Queen and English, aad it must throw in the shad: all thoughts of party expediency.” Lord Sal sbury thea _*aidthen said he regretted that Lord j Edmund Fitzmaurice, in the House of - Commons, was about to bring this great

issue im party controverey,adding that the

only place where his action would meet with sympathy was io Pretoria.

Lord achears, who followed Lord Salisbury, spoke with great force and earnestness. He asked why the Premier

made it so difficult for the man-in the-

‘ street to support his policy. The past

conduct of the Government weuld come up for investigation some day, he hoped, adding : “ We have the right te know if, before the crisis,the intelligence depart« ment supplied the Government with euffi-

HOUSE OF COMMONS,

Io the House of Commons Sir Heary Cawpbeil-Bannerman, commen‘ing on the Queen’s speech said he had seldom known 20 litile to be said in euch a large number of words. As, however, ibe war advanced, it became more difficult end more critical and he was not surprised that the govern- ment had not proposed a formidable pro- gramme of legislation, as affairs in South Africa, political aod military, would un~ doubt:dly engage the present parliament to a greatextent. The war was uppermost in all minds when the members separated .o October and it was believed th re were troops enough in Soul Africa to rapidly clear the Quecn’s dominions. Week after week bad seen checks dis. appoinvments and deplorable loss of life. lo every instance the waivance o; the Br.t- ich troops bad beeo stayed by large bodies of tue enemy. But tbe country had again aud agsin gove through greater p:riis with courage avd cemposure acd would not oow depart from its high traditions. The courage and fortitude of British soldiers was never more conspicuous and

they must associate with the sons of the colonies, who had sbown ex- traordinary aptitude in this kind of warfare. He appreciated the

gallantry and devotion which led their couatrymen to volunteer, but he wished to know the reasons which necessitate this unasua!l method of reinforcing the army. He and his friends had resolved to support @ vigorous prosecution of the war, tnat the integrity of the Queen’s dominions be speedily vindicated, and ne imagined there would be no difficulty in ontaining the additional supplies neces-

sary. “Here my agre*ment with the Government ceases,” said the L beral leader.

Sir Henry Campbell-Banverman then proceeded with a bitter condemnatioa of the adminittration and the tone aad temper io which it had approached the whole South African problem, saying that the narrowsess of the governnieat’s provision for military req uire- mente necessitated hostilities and assert- iog its policy made war probable. He believed this feeling was largely sharei by the House and was glad of the opporiunity promised to express his opinion. The speaker repudiated the idea that they should await the end of the war before dis- cussing the matter. This wasthe very time, be declared, for effective criticism, and those wiehing to dieclaim responsi- b:l ty shoulddo sonow. “The ministers tell us,” Sir Henry continued, “that this war was undertaken to secure equa! rights for white men. I hope they will transfer this laudable doctrine to this country. Many instances might be applied where too littie consideration has been showa uoder Mr. Chamberlai:n’s administration totae loval Dutch of CapeCelony The Cape ministers, who are as much crowa mio'sters ag Mr. Chamberlain, were treated io & manner illcalculated to allay d ubts acd feara.” The recess brought maoy speeches On this subject; and astonish- ment succeeded astonishment at their statements. They now declarethat ear was iaevitable, which is obviou-ly an “expost facto” opinion; andif not, the ministers are hopelessly condemned and ought to be hurled from power.”
