NEW YEAR GREETINGS.

Oc the eve of the New Year, the Mayor of Kimberley despatched the following message to the Queen :

“To Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen: The inhabitants of Kimberley beg to send Your Majesty New Year’s greevings. Thetrouble they have passed through and are still enduring only tends to increase their loyalty towards Your Majesty’s throne and person.

“(Signed) “‘On behalf of the inbabitan ts. “R. H. Henperson, Mayor.”

Her Majesty sent the following reply :

“Tam deeply touched by your kind and loyal New Year’s greeting. I watch with admiration your determination and gallant defence, though I regret the unavoidable loss of life incurred.”

WINTER TRAVEL.

Tuere is on the part of the travelling public a strong desire that The Minto should leave Charlottetown at eight o’clock In the moruing instead of at seven. It is contended that if the Minto has speed the public should have the benefit of it. Thia contention is but natural; and, though in favor of early rising as a rule, Tue Ex- AMINER is strongly inclined to support the popular demand, Having to be roused out of bed and to start off in the dark, are not pleasant in the midst of winter, and if un- necessary ought notto be required. lt appears that the Minto can’t carry more freight than the Stanley. Then let the public have the advantage of her greater speed.

LATER.

A despatch from Pictou reports that The Minto left, to-day, for Georgetown. The ferryboats are running in Charlotte town harbour, Why has the Minto gone to Georgetown? Perhaps one of the city supporters of Sir Louis Davies wi!! eaquire by telegram to(Ottewa! The departure of The Minto, so soon, is at once ao eur, prise and a disappointment.

CONTRABAND OF WAR!

Great Britain contends that provi- sions iutended for troops during the pro- gress of a war are properly contraband ; if for the supply of the civil population they are not so to be regarded. The con- | dition is that the circumstances must be such a8 to show that they are prob:b'y in-

teaded as military supplies. This isin ac- | cordance with the law of nations as laid down by Justice Story of the United | States, as followe :

“By the modern law of natione, pri- visions are not in general deemed contra- band, but they became sc, although the | property of a neutral, on account of the- particular situation of the war, or on ac- ! count of their destination. If destined for J the ordinary use of life in the exemy’s ’ country, they are not, in generally contra band, but it is otherwise if destined for military use. Hence, if destined for the army or navy of the enemy, or for his ports of navalor military equipment, they are deemed contraband,”

If, therefore, there is presumptive evi- dence that the flour, etc., recently seized at the entrance to Delagoa Bay was intend- ed for ihe supply of Boer troops, the Bri- tisb war vessels were right in seizing it, if there was no such evidence they were wronyr.

which they fight and all the mistakes that have been made, the British continue to hold their own, and to make some ads vances. The occupation of Colesberg by Generai French seems to have been made good in epite of an attempt of the Boers in stronger forceto recapture it. If it can be held, a point has been gained; if not, the situation in that partcf the war arena will be co w ree than it was before. At the west, it is intsmated, Lord Methven has’ began & movement towards the rear of the Boer position; and if thie should prove to be successful we may look for hiy continued progress, notwithb- standing the heavy force strongly en- trenched in his front. Anxiety centres, just now, upon Ladysmith and Builer’s relief column in the east, That the gen- eral and his men have a gigantic under- taking in view of the Tugela and its high banks and the neighboring hills swarm- icg with Boers behind entrenchmente, armed with the best artillery and rifles that can be obtained in Europe, and di- rected by skilled officers of European armies, is evident toall.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

——

—A. large number of Ameritans are eaid to be finding their way into the varir ous voluntver regimente being raised in Cape Colonr,

— Kimberley is pow said to have food enough to last for three months, with fresh vegetables and fruit in abundance, and plenty of water.

—George W. Van Sicklen, New York, treasurer of the American Transvaal funi for the families and wounded of the Boere, who some weeks ago issued call to all Americans for subscriptions, says be has received $600. Money talks !

—The proofs of contraband traffic in- creases daily, and it is alleged that Euro pean officers arrive at Delagoa Bay every week and proceed to ihe Boer lines. Great

| Britgin seems to be fighting the loore

soldiers and officere of ali Europe in South Africa. The more reason why the people of Averica and Australia should etand. by her.

—Ber Majesty the Queen has been Sweeping the principal prizes at the Ea- glieh cattle showe. In the summer her stock took practica'ly all the first prizes at Norwich and Birmingham, and resent- ly at the big Smithfield show in London she took four firsts, three seconds and one third, the Prince of Wales getting four firsts. The Royal herds are evidently the best ia the Kingdom.

—The Kiogeton Whig (Lib) is begin- ning to wonder when Oitawa will think of redeeming its pledgee. It eays itis all very well for Mr. Tarte to boast that the debt has been increased by only $6 585,000; but these have been vears of plenty; and if the public deb: cannot be pulled down a bit now, when isthe operation to take place? The factis. when Sir Wilfrid said so solemnly, ‘*I will reduce the debt,” it was another one cf bis hoaxes.

—A private correspondevt in South Africa reports that the Boer army is made up of English, Irieb, Germav, French and Hollanders, but the greater portion is Boer. The Boer short-service criminals have actua ly been released and allowed to This cerres- poodent—a prominent resident of Durban —adds— I hope that the British Govern- ment is impressed with the fact that wha they really require iz a very large force of cavalry and artillery, as the Boers are all mounted.”

—The Toronto Globe and its comrade La Patrie, in order to further their anti~ Canadian and racial programme,published affidavits from New Brunswick saying that somebcdy down there hud talked about taking up muskets against the Frevch-Canadians. [t turns out that the men who signed tiese effilavite were em- ployees of the Ovtawa Government! They were conveyed to St. John, N. B., and were compelled tosign.

and the universal desire to serve the coun- try et the fropt shows no signs of absting. The action of Engiand’s premier Duke of Norfolk, who is posimaster-general and by vO means & young man shows this. He was born in 1847, and his volunteering for active service is the latest example of the spirit which pervades all cia-ses, The Dake of Norfolk’s position in the cabinet and bis tremendous business inieresta, to say nothing of his power as the Jay head of the Roman Catholic Church in Englaud,

—A resident in Natal for twenty years, writes from Mu-sel bay :—* There is no doubt preparations were begun Sur invad- ing Cape Colony soon after the Majaba disaster. The idea was for the Free State and avy others who were disloyal to joio cause with the Transvaal, overthrow the Imperial Government, and prociaim a Re- public for Africa. We are the more con- viaced by the fact that a parcel was atepped by the Custome at Natal and found to cox- tain a large number of uew Republican flags sent from Germany for the Transvaal to take the plage of the British flags.” In view of evidence such as this, and sueh as we have bad since the war began, what British man can now sympathize with the Boers ?

—The German Emperor and Mr. Cham- berlain are known to have held a prolonged consultation at Wiodsor a few weeks ago, and by the procese of exclusion the diplo- mate have reached the conclusion that East Africa was the subj-ct which inter etted them. It way be premature or un- safe to carry ont these arrangements at present, in view of Russian reprisals in Herat and of French ivtrigues in Morocco, but the shrewdest observers in diplomatic circles forecast tbe ultimate occupation of Delagea Bay by Great Britain snd tbe enlargement of German East Africa sout!) ward to Zimbesi. The recent Berlin dine closure is probably eccurate to that extent, but has been overloaJed with fiction re~ specting Portuguese poseeesions within the Indian ephere.

—The Montreal Gazette remarke that Sir Wilfrid Laurier rather got the worst of it in bis att-mpt to make capital out of the Ville Marie Bank failure. After, ac- cording to his organ’s reports, makings mis-statement as to Mr. Foster’ action in bringing the bank to time in 1892,after saying that the bank should have been sbut upin 1897, the Premier declined to aesume any responsibility towards the depositors, saying that eaeh government should take its own responsibility and be judzed _ there- Oo. Between the time the Laurier Gov- ernment came into power and the time the Ville Marie Bank suspended, thirty-six separate statements of its affairs were made, a> sent to Mr. Fielding, Sir Wil frid Laurier’s minister of finance. What paralyzed “the etrongest business govern- ment Canada ever saw,”’ g0 that it did not see where the bank was drifting to and take steps to pro’es' the enfferers by the collapse? Mr. P. et-r aske tnis question, and hie accuser shou'd be in a position to anewer it,

commenting editorially upon the report

cabled from the Uniced States that the

assent of most of the great powers to the says: “If this assent has really been ob-

than it is in Eag!and, not only on account of the permanett imp:r.ance of such a policy to British interests, but also be~ cause it relieves us temporarily from any anxiety a8 to tie eutbreak of complica- tions in the far east during the South African tangle. This double gratification will be stiil greater enhanced by the know- ledze that it isthe British understanding with the United S's:es and Germany which has brought about fora time at least, the pacification of the far east.” “Phe Daily Chronicle says : ‘ It is a dis« tinct diplomatic success for the United States government, and in particular for Mr. Hay. It is also to some extent o guaranice againet the dismemberment of China.”
