With "our boys shoulder to shoulder with these two grand fighting Highland ' regiments, past masters in the art of campaigning, they will have a glorious opportunity of making a recoid, ��� for be sure that wherever the fighting is ' hardest, there, will the Highlanders be.

If a commanding officer, in charge of five Irish regiments fails he must be a bad specimen, for if you handle Irishmen iu the right way there is nothing on the face of the earth th'e} will not do." They have already shown their powers in the Transvaal and every true Briton -will accord them -the merit due. A Bombay despatch says: The Loudon Times' statement that-Russian troops have in all, probability occupied Herat? near the Rus- so-Afghan frontier, is calmly received'here. "The-coiitiugency has long been foreseen, and the British Government in India is fully prepared tor any emergency in Afghanistan.' , , Whilst giving the citizens of Atlin all praise for tlieir generous aid extended1 to the public school, we at the' same time think that it is i putting a little too much on their shoulders in view of the perpetually recurring, demands on their pockets for charitable and worthy purposes iii 'asking'them to carry their own burdens with ' the Government's ,k>ad superimposed. The maint'e- riahce of our public school is as clearly a duty of the Government as is the 'collecting of taxes, and surely the large surplusages of collections over disbursements from this district -should justify us in asking from it what is indubitably "well within our, rights, namely, ,a placing of the school on a status equal to that enjoyed by the most favored communities. Tlicre are "numerous calls to be met in the ' near future, such as furniture, fittings, liVing, etc., and we have a light to demand that the Government see to it that a suitable grant be awarded, sufficient to cover,, all 'such necessary outlay. Atlin does not propose to be quietly ignored and shelved. She is not a played out mining camp iirany sense. On the contrary she is young, lusty 'and- vigorous, with a,great future before her. What she is justly entitled to she wants, and wants badly, and she wants nothing so badly at- present as she wants the Government to do its plain duty by our free school. " FROM 'FRISCO. C. A. Ravlih, who it will be remembered spent the summer in Atlin as the representative of the San Francisco Chronicle, writing to the Claim from gay 'Frisco, says: We hear scarcely anything of Atlin on the outside. Cape Nome is the piace that is getting all the booming now and the indications are that a big rush will be made into that countn' when navigation opens in the spring. Fully a million dollars has reached San Francisco from that district during the past six weeks. The gold is richer than that of Dawson, averaging- about Si 6. Spruce creek gold has brought the highest price here, the dust I brought from there briugii.g $19.30 per ounce. In international matters the Boer war is the all-absorbing topic. While the ultimate outcome of the struggle will eventually end in a great victory for Britain, up to tlie piesent time the British forces have met with some very disastrous reverses. Several entire regiments have been captured by the Boers and the casualties among the staff and line officers of the British army have been appalling. The same mistakes that marked the American army preparations in the early stages of the recent war with Spain are occurring in England and the war department is being severely censured by both the people and the united press for .its tin preparedness for the present war iu South Africa. When General Buller gets his full army together and the actual fall campaign is started, it is believed that the end will he short and decisive. The relations between Great Brit iin and the United Stotes are becoming closer every day and should anv of the Euro- echo, and when shown side by side with, our own Stars aud Stripes, the enthusiam-of the people is' boundless. These two instances but serve to show to what extent the alliance with Great Britain is being permeated into the affairs of this country. That America and Great Britain are" working hand-in ".hand is evident from the arrangement a'.id lo- cation ofythsir navies. ��� England is mobilizing her immense navy iu South African ' waters," while 'the American navy, the cream,of it, is now gathered iu close proximity lo the Ph ill i pi Lies', .within easy reach ofthe British fleet aud also oF Chinese wateus. From present appearances the war in the Phillipines will be of. a very short duration. Thelatest advices from the seat of war is 'that the cruiser Charleston ran onto a reef in a typhoon aud is ' a ,(total wreck. The Charleston was built in San Francisco in 1886 at, a .cost of over a million dollars. . She sank in ninety fathoms "of water, too deep for- the diver's to make any attempt to raise her. , ' In sporting matters, the recent battle between Jefferies,-aud Sharkey is the most. prominent happening. 'The'battle went to the full limit of 251 rounds and Jefferies was declared t'ne winner, * a."very just decisiou. He knocked' Sharkey clown twice, broke two of the sailor's ribs and damaged his face to the extent that his own mother \vou1 .in't have recognized him. From the twentieth to the 25th round Jefferies showed up the best aud had Shaikey all but out twice when the gong sounded. The champion will rest for several months and will then take on a battle with ex-champion Corbett,. possibly at the Paris exposition. Fitzsimmons and Sharkey were both after him for another , chance to make goad his wrord. The receipts for the Jefferies-Sharkey fight amounted to ovrer .$125,000 and the film for the kinetescope pictures of the fight was over 14 miles in extent. Of the men now in the ring Sharkey is the only one who has a license to stand up against Jefferies. He has now met tne champion twice and each time has suffered far the worst of the encounter. Jefferies will simply make a grease spot of Corbett when the two come together, and as for Fitzsimmons, the lanky Australian will suffer even a worse fate than he did in his last encounter with the champion San'Francisco, Nov. 20, 1899.
