VV'liene\"er there had been a\ndoubt as to President Kruger's motives, the Government hnd always given him the benefit of the doubt.\nTurning to the principles involved in\nthe war, the Oolunial Secretary went\non to say, \"If we maintain our existence as a meat power in South Africa,\nwc aro bound to show that we are\nwilling and able to protect British\nsubjects wherever thov have suffered\ninjustice aud oppression.

Member\nfor West Monmouthshire, Sir William\nVernon Harcourt,that ttiey be published will nover be gratified. That ultimatum is buried and is not likely to be\ndiscuss the question of racial animosity, denying that this feeling, which\nhe said, was based in South Africa,\nin contempt would be increased by\nhostilities. He declared that racial\nanimosity had not been created by anything the presont Government had\ndone, but that it existed before Her\nMajesty's present advisory had assumed responsibility. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman interposed with the\nremark: \"What I wish to point out,\nis that the feeling of animosity will\nbe increased a hundred fold when the\nDutch aud English are slaughtering\neach other.\" (Opposition cheers.)\nMr. Chamberlain retorted: \"I say\nagain, that the racial animosity which\nhns been the curse of Sontn Africa is\nbased on contempt, hate is bad enough,\nbut I would rather have a man's hat-\nrod than his contempt. There will\nnever he an end of racial animosity,\nnor will there ever be peace in South\nAfrica until both races have learned\nto respect cadi other.\" Referring to\nthe lelations of the Boers with the natives, Mr. Chamberlain said: \"There\nis ono subject not dealt with in the\nblue books, I mean the disgraceful\nBoer treatment of the natives, un-\nworthi.i civilized power In 18'JC I\nactually sent a message to Sir Hercules\nRobinson, of the Transvaal, respecting\nthe treatment of natives, Then oame\nthe Jamieson rain ai'd our South ? ri-\nenu officials decided that they could\nnot, with propriety, present the ii-ea-\nsage. Tho Boers, in their own words,\ntioked because thoy wanted to \"wallop\nthe niggers.\" Mr. John Dillon cried:\n\"That is not true,\" this was followed by loud demands for order, and the\nSpeaker called upon Mr.Dillon io withdraw the remark. Tho latter responded : \"I havo not imptnehed the veracity of the Colonial Secretary.\"\nThe Speaker: \"I hope such experiences will not recurr. \" (Cheers.)\nProceeding to discuss the question of\nsupremacy, Mr. Chamberlain said:\n\"The whole object of the Boers has\nbeen to oust the Queen from her portion. Now they have thrown off the\nmask and declared themselves a sovereign independent state. Her Majesty's\nresurrected.''

When the race was declnred\noff about ten minutes before the expiration of the time limit, the Columbia\nwas leading by about three miles. She\nwas then four miles from tho finish\nHnd the nine ended, tho challenger\nwould have been beaten by at least\n20 minutes.\nSir Thomas' hard luck continued to\nfollow him. His boat was very badly\nhandled today in spite of the legula\ntii ui talent aboard of her. The two\nEnglish captains and the captain of\nthe Emperor William's yacht Meteor\nfailed to get over the line before the\nhandicap gun was fired and she went\ninto the race penalized by two seconds\non that account. The additional ballast which was put into ber yesterday\nalso seems to have been a blunder on\nthe part of hei managers, as it has increased the sizo of the body to be\nlorced through tbe water, and in tho\nlight air that prevailed today, retarded\ninstead of increased her speed. The\nrace will be on again tomorrow, and\neven if the Columbia wins the race\nihore is a possibility that two more\nruces will be sailed. A suggestion to\nthis effect has been made and Sir\nThomas appears anxious that it should\nbe carried nut. Ho has been greatly\niiisappointed in the showing his boai\nhas made but believes she might do\nbetter over a triangular course in n\nheavier wind and bus said in word\"\nthnt he would be very pleased to sail\ntwo more raw s.\nNO RELIGION.\nJapan\nALASKAN AFFAIR.\nHay's\nLast Proposition May Be\nAccepted.\nWashington, Oct. 19.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDSecretary Hay\nbad a conference today with Mr. Tower, iu charge of the Britisli embassy,\nrelative to the Alaskan modus vivendi.\nThe Secretary had already given con\nsiderntion to the last proposal of the\nBritish Government, nnd was prepared\ntc submit the answer from the United\nStates, which m this cuse tnkes the\nform of auother proposition.

Portions of the Dauphin dis-\niriot havo been ravaged by prairie fires.\nThey have been severer than usual,\nmany settlers having lest nearly everything they possessed. Dauphin is an\nelectoral district, the youngest in tho\nProvince, and is of uncertain political\ncomplexion. Tho victims of the fire\naro obliged to appeal to the Government for assistanoe to tide them over\nthe coming winter.

Writing to a friend\nin New York, he professes to fear that\nEngland will force war on his innocent country. He does not decieve\nhimself with the hope, however, thnt\nBritish power can be successfully resisted, and says that \"if there is no\nGod in Heaven to protect the Boer\nthen shall their name, or rather that\not the Africander nation, be no longer\nhoard of.\" Now that war has been\nforced,not by the Britisli but by bis own\npeople, wo suspect the General could\ngive a good guess as to the outcome of\nit. He ;an hardly expect the protection of which he speaks, and without\nit he can see with half an eye that the\ntime is fust approaching when hiB people will be afforded a second opportunity to do 'he grand trekking act.\nWhen The London Times was remarking the other day on the splendid\nconduct of the Canadians in ottering\nto go to tho aid of the Mother Country\nin the fight With tho Boers, it had to\ntake as its only available text a declaration mane by tie leader of the Opposition, rsir 1 buries Tapper, in a speech\ndelivered down iu iMiva Sontia.

Oct. 19. -Excursionists\nfrom the northwest who anticipate\nvisiting the Paris Exposition next year\nwill probably be disappointed in the\nmatter of rates Tho various railroad\ncompanies have as yet given out no\noffioial information as to what the rates\nwill be, but as the steamer lines are\ndisposed tu raise fares dining the Exposition it is higby probable the transcontinental railways will follow\nsuit.\nSeveral of the largest steamship lines\noperating between New Yo'.kand Paris\nhave notified their booking agents in\nthis country thai no passages must be\nbooked .in their hunts between June 1\nand October 1. With this order comes\ntho announcement that an advance in\nsteamship rates is expected At present lirst-class passage between Eastern\npoints aud Paris is (65,60. This is\nthe rate for the cheaper rooms. Second-\nclass passage runs from $48.76 upward,\nOn these rates an advance of 16 per\ncent in not improbable, One rta.snli\nadvanced for the contemplated increase\nis becauso nf the heavy call for steamships to bo used during the war in the\nTransvaal. For this purpose only the\nhrst-class vessels are available and\nthere aro chances of a shortage for\ntrans-Atlantie service in consequence.\nAnother reason for tne advance is\nthe fact that many\nwho annually visit western points during the summer will next year avail\nthemselves of the chance to go to the\nexposition. As the first-class rate\nfrom Atlantic to Pacific Coimt points\nis never below Sfjl), the Easterners will\nprefer to pay a few dollars more and\ngo to Paris. This will make berths Oil\ntbe steamers in good demand and the\nsteamship companies propose to take\nadvantage of conditions in their favor.\nAtlantic S. S.
