THE SIEGE OF WEPENER RAISED

BOERS REPORTED TO HAVE - LEFT ROUXVILLE.

Lord Roberts Net Spread for the Commandos.

The People of Canada Thanked for their Timely and Generous Gifts—Another Canadian Dies of Enteric Fever—Movements of Strathcona’s

Horse.

SpEcIAL DESPATCH

LORD ROBERTS’ THANKS.

Orrawa, April 17.—The Governor General bas received the following from Lord Roberts :

BiLoremFronrein, April 16.—Please thank the people of Canada, on behalf of my- self, the troops and Colonel Ryerson for

their generous and timely gifts just re» ceived, (Signed) RoBerts. A cable received from Lt.-Col. Utter

eays: “Private W. S. Blight, of the

Queen’s Own Rifles, died at Bloemfontein

on the 15th inst., of enteric fever.” SIEGE OF WEPENER RAISED.

Loxpon, Apri! 17.—The Bloexfontein correspondent of The Telegraph, in a deepatch yesterday, says: |The Boers have raised the siege of Wepener and bave left Rouxville.

The majority of them have, undoubi- edly, retired north, with the exeeption of a body of about 6,000 now reported to be going toward Bethulie.

The correspondent of The Telegraph at Ladysmith, April 16th, says: “ The Boers are down again at Dewdrop,*west of Ladysmith.”

STRATHCONA’S HORSE.

MontreaL. April 17.—Strathcora’s Horse will remain a Cape Townfor a fort- night.

OVER THE FIELD.

Loypon, Apri] 17, 4.15 a. m.— Lord Roberts has «spreed his net far and wide to catch the adventurous command- Os that have been making mischief in the South eastern part of the State.~

The net has not yet been drawn in, but

at the headquarters of Lord Roberts aa

impression exists that.the power of the Boers is decreasing.

A News correspondent has them fleeing to the southeast. The Standard’s cor- respondent reports them fleeing north- ward.

The Daily Telegraph’s correspondent says that some are going north and others south: While the Post’s representative says: It is not known what the Boers are doing.

Evidertly the feeling at Bioemfontein is (hat the dispositions of Lord Roberts are such as to enable him to concentrate a large force rapidly at any point.

The Boere, being aware of this, are pre- ;

sumed to be thinking now chiefly of re- treat.

The investment of Wepener, according to a despatch from Bloemfonteia has abso-

lutely been abandoned, According to a Bethnay despatch, Boers

are unable to retreat northward becauee ;

the British strongly hold al] the roads. Deverse reports come from Natal, one asserting that the Boers have retreated beyond the Biggarsburg range and anoth~ er that some are close to Ladysmith, London waits confidently for almost an immediate aunouncement of news favor- able to the British. Distrust existe, how. ever, as to any rapid continuous advan

In The Roman Catholic Church Not To Take Part in Politics. (Sprcia, ro Tue Examiner. |]

Paris, Aprii 17.—Tbe Rome corres« pondent of Le Tempe, in a despatch that

has almost official significance, says * decisico, prohibiting the Assumptionisis fr.m continuing the edi: torial management of La Croix, was ar- rived at aftera solemn cGonclave uf the Bishops and Cardinals,

Hereafter no religious congregation wil! be permitted to take any par* in politics.

This decision is binding upon Catholics allover the world, including the Amer-

icap Paulists. RE tt

—It is stated that the liberals have an “imperial policy.” This is incorrect. The St. John Sun truly says that all they have ever had isan election policy, aud they have a new one every time.

—A friend ioformse us that a few days ago he received letters, one from Rome, Italy, the other from Lake Bennett on the route from Skagway to Dawson in the Klondike, written on the same day, the 25th March, both containing comments on the weather prevailing in these places. From Rome the comment's “just think we have had a hail storm here in Rome on the 24th of March. The lumps of hail were upvards of a quarter of &1 inch tbrough and enough feil to make the ground white.”

So much for sunny Italy. Eere is what is said about the weather at Bennett, atthe southern boundary of the Yukon Territory :

**] don’t think Iever experienced such. perfect weather as is prevailing here now It is simply delightful, but of course may not last long.”

SOME QUESTIONS.

Sin,~-I see-by the last issue of Tae Weex ty Examiver that the Legislature is prorogued unti! the 23rd April, which

have any session this spring. Could you or your correspondent ‘‘Constitutionalit” answer the following questions:

Does not our Constitution demand that there shall be a session of Parliament every year?

What position would Lieutenaat Gov ernor MclIotyre be in if he failed to call the Legislature within the time preecribed by the Constitution ?

Would be not be liable to be impeached ?

Are not all the official acts of Atterney~ General McKinnoa illegal and unconstita- tional.

Would not all the official acts of the present Executive Council! be illegal and unvonstitutional after the term for calling tne Legislature had expired ?

, Would not al! contracts entered into by them be liable to be cancelled by our in-~ coming government :

Would they not be liable, in their pri vate and persopal cspacity, for ail moneys illegally or uncoustitutionally spent by them ? Or could they shield themeelves behind the dishonest and dishonorable plea that it was only a breach of trust ?

I firmly believe that we have not one man in our present executive (neither head nor tail) who understands Parlis- mentary usages sufficiently to earry on the Government of this country consti- tutionally.

If you could answer these questions for the benefit of the public you would confer a favor on
