At the meeting of the Liberal- Conservative Association on Wednesday evening a telegram was handed to the Rev. Mr. Stephen- soul Being war news business was suspended and the reverend gentleman requested to read aloud the contents, which proved to be an account of the action at Sunny- side, in which the Canadians ar.d ���Australians routed the Boers and "captured their trenches. Great enthusiasm ensued and three rousing cheers given for our brave boys ar.ci three more for1 the Antipodeans. "F'or they are jolly good fellows," given with a vim, closed the'joyous episode and .business was 'resumed. ' - ��� Thomas A. Edison has just completed'an electric machine designed for the separation of the gold- from the ruby and black sand as fourd on the Cape Nome beaches.- Two sacks of this auriferous sand were sent to the wizard at Menlo Park, aud treated by his new machine. The result was $65 in gold. After the treatment the sand was submitted to'the usual analysis ar.d not a ' trace of gold found, thus - proving - the complete success of the machine. The cost is said to be very little, and the ' earnings of ��� the beach miners using the machine will be more than quadrupled. By the present crude method of sluicing with plate and blankets two-thirds 'of the gold has been' lost hithertu. All this will be ob\iated by the new invention and its beneficial ef fects to the beach miners will be in calculable. It is a matter of congratulation to the residents of the district that the Postmaster-General has ordered the transmission of newspapers to-Atlin and outwards by the mails. It appears the Hon. Mr. Mulock had no idea our district was so closely connected with a railway, and on the facts of the case being presented ro him, at o::ce granted the desired b~o:i. It is not likely much benefit will be derived from this change this year. The present contract with the Canadian Development Company will have to bj enlarged and preliminaries arranged for the new older of things takes time, and as the season is well on to the three quarters, it is not likely paper - mail will arrive before the middle of February. Tt.would be interesting in this connection to know who furnished the department with mail advices of so derogatory a nature to the northern portion of British Columbia. , We have post-office inspectors with princely salaries, and As there is ho likelihood of there being auothei election before another session o." t'ie Doml'.i'.o'i Pai- liament is held, arrangements * will require to be made very soon for the issuing of wr.ls .'or a number of by-elections. There are at present six vacancies iu the Ho use of Commons aud six in the Senate. The defeat of the -Liberals' in Manitoba has 'brought the mailer*-horns to the Federal government with considerable force and ere another short period passes overhead the writs will have been issued. In the popular chamber there are four vacant seats in Quebec, ore in Manitoba and one in Ontario. In Ontario the constituency of West On - tario became vacant through the death of Sir James Edgar,, who was speaker in the present Parliament. Winnipeg was unrepresented all last session, Mr. Jameson, the member, having died just previous to the meeting of Parliament. The Hon. A. C. Geoffaon who sat for Chambly and Vercliers i'.i Quebec, Hon. W. B. Ives who represented Sherbrooke, make two vacancies in Quebec. In ��� addition ' to these Dr. Rinfret, of Lotbiniere,'was appointed to office and Mr. P. Bourassa, of Labslle, resigned, baciase of-the sending of the contingent to South Africa Without calli ^g Parliament to sanction it. It is understood that ali the by-election' will be held on the same day. In the ^Senate the death of Mr. Sutherland and 'Major Bw'iilton leaves two vacancies for Manitoba. In Ontario the seat of the late Senator San ford, who was drowned in Muskoka last summer, is vaca it, and in the province of Quebec two vacancies were created by the death of Senators Bellerose and Price. There is, as is always the, case, a very lively scramble for the: positions in the Upper Chamber and ir would not be safe to predict who of the numerous applicants will be successful. It it reported"that a young American woman who will soon be worth $20,000,000, has agreed to marry a young English viscount if he will win the Victoria Cross in South Africa. The cross and thermillions are worth winning, but the value of the . girl who would make such terms is not up to the -average. .while Lady de .Ramsey, and Lady Georgin4 Curzon have each, achieved their owii social success. ' NEWS OF THE WORLP. French .statistics of the' past year show that, the number of deaths has increased by 59,054, while the number of births has decreased by 15,174. This is a striking confirmation of Zola's strictures on the nation, .made in his latest book Here are' three items "of- interest from the San Francisco Mining & Scientific Press: The' "Alaska- Treadwell mine of Alaska pays dividends amounting to about $1,060 daily.

An effort is being made by German capitalists to consolidate the nitrate interests of Chile. ; The mines are valued $80,000,05x5. The present output is about ,3.000,000 tons annually'. A TITLED HEROINE. The Canadian soldier^ have had a tight at last, and borne themselves right royally as chips of the old block. They, with the Australians, stormed the Boar entrenchments at Sunnyside, with.a magnificent dash and plack which his called forth the warmest encomiums of the British press.

One oi the first to appear has been Lady Sarah Wilson, the daring English woman who, with her maid, recently rinj ished a 200 mile ride from beleaguered Mafeking throagh ' the Boer forces and into the British lines. Lady Sarah should not have been in Mafeking at all. Her husband is Captain Gordon Chesney Wilson of the Royal Horse guards and was one of the little band of officers on the staff of Colonel Baden-Powell whose corps" of rough riders were -penned in Mafeking by the Boer forces under Commandant Cronje. Lady Sarah followed her husband to Mafeking much against his wishes and stayed so long that she was trapped with the rest. The Boers gallantly allowed her to ride through their lines with her maid.

Mr. Foley freely ex;:rpsses the opinion that Nome is the centre of the richest mining region on the earth. He visited the creek diggings and is satisfied that they are rich, but is inclined to think the beach workings will be the backstay of the country. He says tlie placer ground of known or unknown value was all staked. Most of it, however, was expected to bs thrown open for relocation, as it was officially announced' that the vahdity of only one power of all those who have remained: have an opportunity of locating 'one or more claims, but that'there'.will' be locations open for main:'' who gc> this'whiter or early i-nV..th'e.
