Dated at Victoria, B. C, this 4th day of November, 1893. ^ ^ ^^ Solicitor for Applicants. Two years ago, when Sir Herbeit JCitchener started up the Nile to recap, jure tlie mahdi's territory and avenge the death of Gordon, Major Marchand, with, a small force not exceeding 500 men, started from the French Congo region in West Africa towards,, the Nile. It was a two year's race for, Khartoum, and the British won, Sir Herbert occupying the mahdi's stronghold early ��n September,, A few days later Major Marchand ap-. peared at Fashoda, 400 miles up the Nile He arrived with only 156 men, having lest the rest through death and desertion. , The object of the French advance was to defeat the-British plan of establishing a line Qf comrnunication. from the north -fo the south of Africa, between Egypt ., and, C^pe Colony, by snatching a vast ~ r zone across the heart of Africa, from the -��\, Atlantic to the Red sea. .France'already possesses a large sphere* of influence i* the Congo, in the west, and a territory;; -��� about as large as New York state, south of Abyssirinia... Abyssinnja itself is largely undier, Russian influence, and Russia ��",; playing into the hands of France. Abys- . , sinnia recently annexed all the territory. - .-�� from'its western boundary, to the Nile. > This helped France in her scheme of an r equatorial zone. .France already has a railway started from Obock, on ths Red ' ' sea towards the Nile basin. * " ' , *; - England, practically supreme in Egypt -.".' o.vns a large area in East Central Africa; bounded on the south- by German terri-:' ,. tory., S^outh of the German sphere Eng-- land owns the whole end of Africa. From the southern' boundary of the Egyptian. _i Soudan to the nearest British territory on, _,o the south is a stretch of only about tiooo. : miles. Could England get a line of corn* munication through this ibdo miles, shft , would have-/uniterrupted sway from the ~ mouth of the Nile to Capetown, a dis-. . tance of 4000 miles. The trade' of all. , this vast central region* would naturally , flow thrqugh British channels. The territory directly involved in the; Fashoda dispute is the southern p��oyince> in the Egyptian Soudan, Bahr-el Gh'azeL. It is about five times as large as England,, is covered with forests and meuntains. and includes the larger portion of the basin ot the Upper Nile. Egypt annexed*, the country fifty years ago, and U is ^ necessary link in the British chain <& African communication. For several years England has claimed this territory and her claims were recog-. nized in treaties with Germany and Italy and tacitly admitted by France. After- Egypt's authority was overthrown in the: South, to make sure of this land Lord. Kimberley negotiated a treaty with the Congo Free State,, leasing the provinces* on the Upper" Nile to the Congo State, under British influences, The treaty was so grasping, however, that Germany and., France took offense and at their protest the clauses for the- lease of the Soudan were dropped. Tnen France made Jk treaty of her own. w.ith, the Conge,Siate. three years ago, giving a wester" gate-- way to the Nile to France* In the same, yeafitha.French chamber voted.$400,000, for an expedition to protect Frenih iate-- rest to the Nile. To support her claim, to, thp Soud*Jfc province, France shows a letter written, in Cairo by one of the khedives officers, to Emin 'P.ish;i, declaring thai the khe*. dive had given up his title to the Upper,- ' Nile because of the persistent revolts there. Great Britain, contends that the revolts never released the country from, the khedive's government, and that the: status, of the last fifty years yet endures., -r- SEr.t-'-crEO,, ���a THE CANADIAN MAGAZINE;.

"The only thing I know is a chap arrived a "few minutes ago in a small boat, which'is alongside now, evidently hired from the shore, and without stating his business requested to see ' the captain. The watch hesitated about it and called me. I saw there was an official air about tho man, so I knocked up the skipper, who now has the mysterious visitor .vith liim, but what it is all about you might as well ask the celebrated man in the moon, to whom people are" generally referred under such circumstances, but it ought to be something important that gets everybody out of bed at this unearthly hour," and he shrugged his shoulders. "Well, 1 suppose I shall-soon know something, ", I answered, and I knocked , , at the. door, which was at that moment opened by the captain. "Ah,-is that you/ Mr. Sharer?" and - he called to the first lieutenant, who ' had accompanied me to his door. '' Show this gentleman to his boat,'' and he spoke a few. "words of goodby hurriedly. I just had time to glance at him and to notice that he was a tall, well made, gentlemanly looking fellow, with an erect, soldierly bearing, and with a 'certain official air about him which1 stamped him as one having authority and accustomed to command. ��������� '' Come in,''' said the captain, '' there is some little excitement for you this' morning. That gentleman who has just " gone is���������well, I need not waste timo over that, as it does not concern you. A large .diamond., valued at something like ������7,000 or ������8,000 has been stolen. The two men have been tracked to Durban here, but last night they hired a small sailing boat and have made off. Their luggage has been overhauled at their, hotel, and as no trace of the missing stone has been discovered it is understood that thoy have it with them in the boat, their intention no doubt being to follow the coast until they fall in with some vessel that will get them and their diamond to some country where they can dispose of it. The boat, which they hired for the avowed purpose of a pleasure trip, is about 18 feet long, is painted white, and has one square sail. I wish you to take the steam launch and go after them. Thoy are not experienced in the use of a boat, and they will, in all probability, not stray far from the shore.' Keep a strict watch on them that they drop nothing overboard. If they do, take the bearings of the place so that divers can go down, if they do throw the stone into the water,'' and he made preparations for turning in again. I gave the necessary orders about the launch, and, with four Jacks, took my place in the boat. The men were in ex- ������cellent spirits after I briefly explained ������������������to.them the nature of our work, and we ���������were soon steaming along at a fair speed. Tho morning was cold, and now that I had got over the excitement of being turned out before daylight I was feeling chilly. If there is anything that makes one feel miserable and melancholy, it ia that cold, unusual gray of dawn. There is an ashy clamminess in the air which pervades everything and seems to gain an entrance to one's vitals. \ As the silver light took possession of the expanse of deep I could see tho men were narrowly scanning the stretch of waters for any signs of the boat. We were running along about nine knots. This was considered pretty good then for a launch. The little'wind had gone down; aud the sea was now quite smooth. Occasionally a breeze would pass gently over the water with just a perceptible ripple. I was thinking now as to how I would act. I felt pretty confident about getting the men, but I wanted tho diamond too. Various plans came into my head. I feared that when tho men caught sight of us the stone would be quickly dropped into the sea. I mentioned my fears to King. "I think, sir," said he, going through various preliminary maneuvers in tho way of shifting a large quid of tobacco from one cheek to another and wiping his mouth two or three times with his hand, '' I think, sir, if 1 was you, whd'n Ve sights this 'ere wessel the best thing will be not to make a signal nor hail them. Jus; run on as if we was rjoiug right past :em without stopping, and then bout ship suddenly aud round upou tkem. This will allow U3 to keep au eye on their movements. " I saw there was wisdom in the old man's advice, and that his suggestion was a good one. "If we.discharged a gun to signal them to stop, they would know the game was up, and overboard would go the diamond,'' added King, and his remarks ,were, received with great attention by the rest. "There she is, sir," shouted one of the men, and all eyes turned in the direction he pointed. "There, just on the starboard bow." My glass had scarcely been shut up five minutes, but sometimes a slight haze will lift, and in a second you will see what you have been vainly sweeping the sea for for hours. "That's her; sure euough," I announced as soon as I got my glass on her. She was "sailing along slowly, close in to the land. I could distinctly see- two individuals, who seemed to be looking toward us. ��������� I rather fancy my own men were disappointed that I could, not see the diamond, for thoy gla.uced at me with an air of expectancy, and the precious stone was the ouo idea uppermost in their minds, for two of them immediately chimed in with a remark about it. ��������� "Keep steadily to your course," I eaid to the man who was Gteering. I told the others to sit down, for I was anxious that we should not appear to be in search of them; Keeping well out of' sight myself, I trained my glass on her and watched all their movements. As we got nearer I could see by their gestures that they wero regarding us with ' a certain amount of suspicion. From what I could make out they were about 300 yards from the shore and almost at -a standstill, but an occasional- puff of wind gave them headway. < On our present course we would pass them at about 100 yards distance. My intention was to go on as if we were going to.pass them and then hail them. j. noticed now that the' boat was heading for the beach. , ��������� Suddenly there was a puff, followed by the report/of a gun. I had my glass ou them, but the man was firing in the direction of the shore, and I' saw some wild sea fowl.rise. Several shots were fired, before we were near euough to quite ������7,000, and considerably more perhaps if the cutting turned out well. They - repudiated the charge of theft, but admitted that they had just come from one of the diamond camps. Thoy seemed quite s^ure" that they would be B-bla to satisfy the captain when they arrived at the cruiser. I was glad that they did take matters so pleasantly and apologized for pulling their boat about. "Oh, it's not ours," said one of them. "It,is a hired one, and- the owner will come upon you for the damage.'" And the two,men laughed at this. - "Why, there's the Gadfly/' cried one ff the Jacks. l> I looked and found he was right, so we altered ou? course a point and steer? ed straight for her. She was coming up quickly, for they had sighted us. In a very short time we were on board and steaming back to Durban. The captain was pleased at the capture,'but disappointed when he found that we had not come across the diamond. Ho said he would retain the two men prisoners, for awhile at least, until, ho heard from the man who had visited him in the early morning. But as soon as wa were' off Durban hail. I wondered what they were doing. '' Have you seen a similar launch to this pass you?" I shouted ' as we slowed down" "What?" came over the water. I hailed them again with tho same question. It gave us time to edge nearer. "No!" the two men bawled together. "Easy ahead," I said, and I waved my hand as if I had finished my business, and I sat down in the stern sheets. . Then I gave the order to stop and hailed them again. ������ '' What are you firing at?'' I shouted "Wild birds'." "What?" I cried in return. "Wild birds!" was bawled again. "Any good sport?" I asked in a lower tone of voice. '' Can' t hear!" thoy shouted. ' I motioned that I would come nearer, and the launch came round and we ran down to them. As we did so I saw the man who had the gun raise it With careful aim and fire in the direction of a mound on the shore. Again some birds rose at the report. "Put her alongside, King," and I motioned to King to take the helm. "You three jump into the boat arid secure those men as scou as we touch. " Now was tho exciting time. They had thrown nothing into the water so far, I was certain. Another minute, and wo would have them. "Let her como gently alongside,'' I said to King, and 1 gave the order to ease her." The diamond was withiu reach. "We are just having a little shooting, and thought of lauding here," remarked tho mail with the gun, but he eyed me suspiciously. "What kiud of birds aro there about here?" I asked casually. We wero within a couple of yards, and I was pro- paring for the spring. Before he could finish his reply we wore ou them, mid the two men were pinned to the bottom of their own boat. I felt relieved, for I" was fairly confident of success. They admitted that they wero from Durban, but deuied ail knowledge of the diamond. They' had heard of its theft, but they were not the men. Of course we did not believe that, and a rigid search at once commenced. ' The men were stripped /and every iuch of clothing examined, but no diamond. Having finished for the time being, we transhipped them to the launch aud began a strict examination of the sailing boat. We took up the bottom boards and broke up the seats and fittings, but without success. The. two men stormed and threatened and swore they were merely a pleasure party and vowed summary vengeance for the outrage, as they termed it. I was greatly disappointed at the result of tho search, but King' grinned aud whispered iu my ear aud advised that we should return to the ship. W" watched every movement of the men on our way back. I could see my--own men wer? disappointed, but thgir faces brightened up when King whispered to them what he had told to me. Every now and then oue of them would come out with a guffaw, and the rest would smile. The two prisoners were very indignant at first, but- they soon recovered and took matters very coolly. One of them asked permission to smoke and opened a small box of cigars thai w biid brought from the boat, which was now being towed by us. Smoking led to talking, and I found that they wero really verypleasant fellows. The diamond, they said, was called the "South African Priuce" aud would be worth he came in his boat to us, and he proceeded to search the' men again, after which he and the captain had a, long consultation in the cabin, while, I gave the story to tho first lieutenant. He inclined to the opinion that they had succeeded in dropping it .overboard, but I differed, and told him that from the moment of sighting them T had'carefully- watched their movements; but ho showed me half a dozen ways as to how it could be done. However, I still adhered to my opinion. The conversation was cut short by a message from the captain. "I am sorry," ho said, as I entered his cabin, "that I am not justified in' detaining these men. They have, I'fear, outwitted us." "They have probably got rid of the stone'before putting out to sea," remarked the strange military gentleman, Who, r found, was one of the'inspectors under the illicit diamond act. So the two men were brought in and told they could go ��������� ashore when ' they wished. Then one of them cut up rough and said that they had been seized, taken prisoners and searched while on a holiday, but eventually it was agreed that' their boat should be repaired, and the carpenters were put on to -work- all -nigh V and the cnext day they would' proceed on their journey for the purpose of slioot- ing wild fowl. They elected to stay on board the cruiser for the night. I fancy the captain was glad - to get off on such easy terms. ��������� ' , - I was just having a final whiff and thinking, over .the 'events of the day before turning,in when suddenly the solution of the whole matter flashed upon me, and I wondered why I had been so stupid. T I think I took one spring into the captain's cabin. Fortunately ho had not ��������� retired. He was snipping, and a glass of whisky was near life elbow.' He listened as I explained the absence of the diamond. "That is the explanation of the mystery, I haven't a doubt," he replied when I had'finished.r "You have my authority to act as you suggest," he added, as I left him to rouse King. With as little" fuss as possible we were rowed ashore and landed on the south point, taking care to carry with us a revolver each. "Now, King," I said as the boat left us, "you're in for a 'long walk.' " "Right you are, sir. " He was too good a seaman to ask questions, and off we set, keeping the line of the coast! "You know whereabouts the boat was stopped yesterday?" I asked. "I think I docs, sir, " he replied. "Well, we have got to walk there," I said. King lighted his pipe and we trudged on. He was a good companion, and during that long night he told me a good bit of his history. I made out that we were averaging four miles an hour. At daybreak we . stopped and made our breakfast off biscuit and a small tin of meat which King had provided himself, with. I had a flask of brandy. While we sat I unfolded to him my plan and the explanation of t\v> -missing diamond. "Why/yes, sir, "he replied after a moment's consideration, "that is where the diamond is, you can bo sure; but what shall wo do if the wind changes?" "The wiud holds good at present," I replied, but there? was something to be feared if it died. About 9 o'clock we reached what I considered was near the place where wo had stopped the boat on the previous day, but oue could not be certain. However, we lay down among the long grass, aud King had me to himself for a good spell of shark stories. I had my glass with .me, and from, time to time kept a sharp lookout seaward. Although King talked the whole time I don't think he once relaxed his scrutiny of the expanse of water to his left. Even when he lighted his pipe he kept one eye seaward. Ten, 11 arid 12 o'clock came; uo signs of what I expected. About 2 o'clock we were rewarded by eeeiug our friends whose acquaintance we had made the day before. They were coming along close into tho shore, and about half a mile from us they took down the sail and rowed the boat straight in for the beach. We carefully watched their movements. For a moment or two they seemed undecided; then they walked up to one of the krge grassy hillocks and began to examine'it. We now shifted our pose of observation and moved to a position which cut th'ein off from their boat, still keeping behind the hillocks and crawling through the long grass. For perhaps a quarter of an hour or more ,they examined the green mound; then one whistled to the other, and they walked off in the direction of the, boat, examining something very closely, carried by the taller of the two, and evidently very satisfied with themselves. A-minute later and we had them and the diamond. The firing the day before had not, as I guessed, been for1 the purpose of shooting the wild'fowl. One of the shots'into the hillock had carried the diamond, which they had first imbedded in lead and fired with a weaker- charge of powder. We allowed them to find it, and when,.they had dug it'out of the mound we arrested Ciem. For a moment they were inclined to show fighti but a loaded revolver has great, moral force, and we marched them back to Durban.

OUR VICTORIA CROSS. the Medal of Honor Which Those Who .Fought at Manilla May Wear.,' - The m'ednlsof honor which congress voted the other day to give to tho officers and men who fought under Dewey at Manilla arc not espcciall}' artistic. Tho modal it-, self is not a thing of beauty, but it means a lot to tho man who has the right to wear it. - The medal is a fivo pointed star, each point ending in a trefoil. On the star is a circle of 34 stars (there wore only 3-1 states when, in ISO", the medal was designed) within which is a" representation of'America'-habited as Minerva, " her left hand on the fasces, her right, hand -holding n shield and repelling discord. A trophy of two cannons, ,one sword, several cannon balls and an eagle fastens the star to a ribbon resembling the flag, which joins it to the clasp. .

Since then he has,been,nominally attached to tho latter regiment, though during the. last fivo' years ho has becnibn duty.in-the bureau of military information. For.some years he served on the western frontier, and ho has been in .Cuba and,, knows tho country. Friends know him as a frank and cordial companion. Though jolly with his intimates, he is somewhat, .reserved among strangers. Six years ago'- he was employed in the intercontinental ' railway survey in Central America, under Captain Macomb, where ho learned to speak Spanish perfectly. ' , "When the news came to the war department the other day that Lieutenant Rowan had after a hazardous voyage in an open boat' reached Nassau, N.

THE MEDAL OF HONOR, of Germany and Prussia, but it is a, fact that either of the latter is better known, to Americans than the emblem with .which; our own country recognizes valor Ijcmv. haps one reason for this is that we ni'o'nut in tho habit of paying, much attentr.on to medals and decorations in. thi.s country Another may be that we have some.-times questioned the manner in'which these medals have been awarded in timos past. Occasionally there has been a suspicion of the presence of a political pull in these awards. Yet in spite of the drawbacks to its reputation which the delay in awarding it and the way in which some of its wearers have acquired it cause the medal of honor is an-honorable decoration and has been won honorably by most of those who have it. Most of them won it for such feats; as capturing battloflags, though one soldier got it because he was on the guard of honor over Lincoln's coffin. The Twenty-seventh Maine regiment received the medal as a whole. Its time was up, and it volunteered to remain and take part in. the battle of Gettysburg. For this and its brav: ery at the fight every survivor received the medal. A PLUCKY OFFICER. The Daring Lieutenant Who Carried a Message Into the Heart of Cuba. Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan, the man who at the bidding of the war department landed on the Cuban shore, inade his way for miles through a hostile country and penetrated to'the camp of the insurgents, where he arranged with the Cuban leaders for the co-operation of the patriot forces with the army of invasion, is a modest, unassuming officer who has acquitted himself we'll in -Ms first war assignment.

Gentlemen do not������tako off their hats' to each other. This is a courtesy reserv-, ed for tho ladies. ' _ ' ' . If oue gentleman inceJSs another, the , latter being with' a lady, the former does not merely nod, but-will'take off his hat, so that tho salute may seem tp include both the gentleman and the lady- Ladies do not rise to shake, hands with a gentleman, nor do they shake hands at all with a now acquaintance, fven when an introduction takes place. An inclination of the head aud a few pleasant words are all that are necessary. A gentleman never extends his hand to a lady first. This would be regarded by a woman of good society as presumption and might warrant- her snubbing tho unfortunate transgressor. A lady may shake hands with another lady when'an introduction takes place, but it is not a necessary act aud is often omitted. A host's name never appears on any invitation except to a wedding or dinner. A bachelor who gives a dauce or reception always receives his own guests. A married lady may chaperon young ladies to au entertainment given by a bachelor friend. Ladies are not entitled to use crests; therefore after the death of a husband or father tho crest would be discontinued. This rule, however, is often disregarded by ladies who are otherwise exceptionally strict in matters of etiquette. Never raise' or move the eyebrows . perceptibly. It always .appears like.a-' bid for attention, and therefore is a rudeness, ". ��������� ��������� 'A late guesr spoils a dinner.

First Stops as a. Young: Christian. The first steps in tho Christian life are like those which come later.. They are included.in the cultivation of penitence, humility, simple trust in God and the habits of Bible study and prayer and of behavior in harmony with these. This is indeed the first thing to be done, and it will be tound a new experience, but it is only that which the Christian must go on doing as long as he lives. Tho expression, "looking to Jesus," embodies the kernel of the whole matter.

Then my stoma?ch became so weak that I vomited almost everything I ate; I grew despondent and feared I would not recover. While in this condition a friend urged me to try ( Dr. Williams' " Pink Pills, aud I followed the advice. After I had used two boxes I noticed , au improvement aud my heart was gladened with the hope of renewed health. At the end of six boxes my appetite had fully returned, and with it strength, color to my cheeks, and brightness to the eyes. , I ' still continued taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills until I had taken in all twelve boxes, and'I can truthfully assert that.
