One candidate retired after another. Frank Craig loft the field after a consultation with his leader Ralph Smith, who repudiated both W. M. Lawrence and J. M. Kellie, and being quite convinced that both these politicians and their chief advisers wero merely making a cats- paw out of the Labor party, to further their own ends, told them that under the circumstances, if he had a vote in the riding, he would give it to Taylor. Mr. Lawrence then followed suit and withdrew, giving business reasons as his motive and Mr. Taylor was leTt for a while in undisputed possession of the field. At last Mr. McRae, the well known member of the provincial police force in this district and lately gazetted mining recorder at Tiout Lake, was prevailed upon by a combination of ,1. M. Kellie. the government officials and the heads of the Martin party to come out. The exact stripe of political blanket which should cover the professedly bitter anti-Martinite J. AI. Kellie ancl staunch Martin men like W. AI. Lawrence and his committee was obviously a difficult matter io choose. It was however, arranged that to*, . save appearances all round- Mr. AIcRae should come out as an Independent Martin candidate. The Martin part put W. AI. Lawrence and R. S. How- son on his nomination, paper, the Independent end gave a small cranny or rat hole for J. AI. Kellie to crawl in out of the rain. But except for this nee of the magic word Independent, which has thus enabled Mr. Kellie and his clique to make one last forlorn grasp at retaining their old* time say in this community, there is absolutely nothing to distinguish Air. AIcRae's position from that of his predecessor. Air. Lawrence. Air. McRae, will support the Martin platform. So"did Air. Lawrence. Air. McRae will also support Air. Alartm as long as he adheres to his platform. So said Mr. Lawrence. There is absolutely not the slightest difference in the respective attitudes of the two men on this point. . The only difference is that the word Independent tacked on to the Martin affords Air. Kellie a thin nnd gauzy vefl, through which he fondl y hopes the public will be unable to detect the indecency of this his fresh change of political clothing. That is absolutely "all there is to it. Otherwise there is no change at all in the situation produced by the succession of Alartin candidates except the varying personalties of the two men. Hud Ah*. McRae come out say six weeks ago he might have made a very pretty fight of it. But his late appearance in the field combined wilh his alliance with Mr. Kellie are handicaps which no man in the riding could liopiTto overcome. 1 Cis qui te cerlaiiv ty the case that'as far as Revelstoke goes, the change of candidates has left Air. Taylor in a stronger and better position than ever. And although the reports from other points in the riding are not yet lo hand there is little doubt that when he is able to really size up' the situation from personal observation Air. McRae will regret his precipitancy in allowing himself by accepting the candidacy to be used as the tool of the Kellie clique on" the one hand and as n mere stopgap to preserve the Marlinites from the grave effects on the whole election, of allowing Mr. Tavlor to be elected by acclamation on the cither.

He was stubbornly opposed by 1500 Boers on May 17,ninc miles from Mafeking, but they were driven from strong positions after five hours fighting, thanks, he says, to tho magnificent qualities of his troops. A detachment of Canadian artillery by a series of forced marches, reached him the morning of the fighting and rendered valuable assistance. Colonel Mahon's caus- alties were about 300.' The Boer losses were heavy. A despatch to the Dally Mail, dated Mafeking, May 13, says: "Among the prisoners captured with Commandant Eloff are Count de Bremont, a Frenchman, and Count Venweisea, . a German. It was.found that the Boers were guided by two deserters, .named Hay and Bolton. At the ���������enemy's request we have handed over their dead. Today one of our men ' -was asked to surrender and replied, ��������� "Never," The Boers at once shot him through the head." ' The second edition of tho Daily Mail contains a despatch from Zan- madibis, under date of May 15, which says: "Ihe British left Salagal on Sunday, -making their way westward in order to avoid Koodsrand, "where there ^as a strong force of Boers. The manoeuvre was successful, but a large force of Boers in the bush was encountered. A column of light horse dislodged the Boers who endeavored to enfilade tho convoy, but were prevented by the artillery and the enemy fled. Captain Hands was WOund������d sustaining a compound frac- tu** of tue-high. The Boers loft their dead. The column arrived hero this morning and met Colonel Plum- .er's forces.

According to these reports yesterday the Boers wore quarreling among themselves. The Transvaal paper money was circulated at 80 per cent discount.

It wns decided after considerable discussion that telephone poles are to be placed in the alleys, 5 feet from the lot line to the centre of the poles and where poles are placed on streets they are to be 9 fieet clear of the street line on 60 foot streets and 11 ft. clear on SO foot streets'. r Aid.
