Nkw Yohk, May 0.���A five that {-tufted at the river edge of the Mallory Line Steamship Company's pier at the foot of.\" Maiden lane and the East river early this morning completely destroyed the pier and its valuable contents. The police place the loss at $1,000,000. Sev- ci al barges which were moored at Uie pier wero destroyed and many l cscues of tlieir captains and of the members of the families on board were made. Only one life was lost, the nine months' old daughter of captain Charles Lochs, of the Barge ���Sherwood, being drowned. The Mallory line pier was 200 feet long and 50 feet wide. The pier shed v\\ as filled with valuable freight of miscellaneous character, mostly cotton. On the north side of tho pier were moored a number of coal and cotton barges, while on the south side was the steamer San Marcos, aud a number of barges. No sooner had the work of fighting tho flames begun, than the firemen and citizens turned their attention to the work of saving the lives of those ou the barges, which were lying within the line of danger., Nearest to the pier was the barge Stephen Belkin, her captain Frank Fox, and his wife, his three months' old daughter and a 1 aby were on board and sleeping. A skid was run from the pier to the barge, the occupants, wore awakened and were hurried fiom their bunks to a place of .safety before -the flames had reached them. On board the barge Sherwood were Charles Lochs, the captain. 30 years old, his wife Lena IS and their daughter Itosie, nine mouths old. The Lochs family was ��� awakened by the flames. Their Large was already on fire at the \\ fme that they were aroused from ��!eep. The father cook the nine ^months' old baby iu his aims, aud with his wife jumped into the river. Captain Timothy* Boylen, formerly of the barge New Brunswick, whose home' is at Rondeau,., New York, plunged into the water to save tho u oinai), who had become exhausted. Jltr husband, who still held the baby in his arms, saw his wife was on the point of going down and ifc Leeame a question to him as to which he should save, his wife or the baby. Tfe therefore lot the baby go in the hope that she would be picked up, by some one else and went to the assistance of his wife. 3 Jo managed to hold her head above ���water till Boylen reached them. All three were then lauded by the ] fe lines. The half-drowned v tptain and his wife were removed io the Hudson street hospital where 11 ter they recovered. On the coa{ barge S. II. Hand, which lay alongside the other burning barges, were the captain, Joshua H. Lumb, his wife and two children, all of whom ���u ere r_escuejLbyi the_police. .Michael Sheldon of that boat was compelled to jump into the river from ���>\\ here he was rescued. Three large -vessels were lying so near the blazing pier that their safety was en- (Uugeied, the steamer Sanmurios, ihe steamer Nueces, which were towed out into mid stream, aud the barge St. James, the rigging of ' wliich was burned before she could be towed out of harm's way. The scene on the water was a most exciting one, for the river was filled with craft, nearly all of which wci e engaged in towing the various v o^els and barges, to safety from their dangerous positious. Four cotton barges, others laden with corn meal, and some loaded with t oal caught fire and were destroyed. Rome of them were also sunk to prevent the further spread of the J lames, A number of buildings on South street were scorched and several weie emptied of their tenants who feared that the buildings would be burned. Henry Mallory said of the fire. \"I have no idea how the fire started and I can form no idea of the loss. J f the entire pier is destroyed together with the offices and other buildings on the pier head. T cannot tell what, our plans will be or when wo will begin to build. Books and other documents were destroyed, and I cannot say anything ���ibout the insurance at present.\" tributed $25,000 to the relief fund of the fire sufferers.

Ford cables fiom London to this morning's Tribune in regard to the Australian question and the doings of the delegation as follows: \" Mr. Chamberlain was silent last night but the Australian question has kept him too busy to take up points of military etiquette and policy. The Australian delegates have been dining nightly with Liberal and Conservative clubs and associations, and have not missed an opportunity of stating their case briefly. \"Ifc comes to this, that if Australians allowed to make its constitution and organize a confederation it must have the privilege of interpreting the law of the commonwealth through a high court of its own, only those questions affecting the public interests of other portions of the empire being reserved for the imperial court of appeal. The Australian delegates are able men and fluent orators and are carrying the country with them. Ifc is a strange conflict between the traditions and precedents of the privy council, a body of 250 advisers of the crown who .never meet and the progressive democracy' of tlio\" colonies with tlio referendum principle behind them. > Mr. Chain- borlain will probably arrange a settlement and allow the commonwealth bill to pass without amendment. \"The Australian delegates are men of iron constitutions to endure a strain of hospitality which would break down -ordinary Britons. Their engagements next week include banquets atthe Constitutional, the Stephen?, Devonshire and other clubs.\" REIGN OF TERROR EXISTS In the Philippines. York, May 6.v Jfew Zealand's Munificence.

Agninaldo's forces havo scattered into marauding bands and are leaguing themselves with the mountain Tuilsannes and Ladrones. They are terrorizing the country and effectually checking the cultivation of crops and the sale of marketable products. The few ports that have been opened have shipped away what little supply they contained and the tons upon tons of hemp, sugar and ryo that are stored iu the interior are beyond the reach of tho buyers. \"The money paid for the thousands of bales of hemp shipped from garrisoned ports has found its way into the insurgent coffers, and the revolutionary agent at Hong Kong is making extensive purchases of arms, preparatory to a renewed season of filibustei ing and general hostilities as soon as the rainy season is over. \"Scattered bands of insurgents wage war against us who do not acknowledge the Aguinaldo government, and the inhabitants are in a state of terror that prevents honest industry or business with the merchant. The islands will be perfectly useless unless life and property are made safe.\"' British Everywhere Successful. London, May (J.���The Avar office has published the following despatch from lord Roberts, dated Vet River, Saturday, May 5, 7:15 p. m.���I marched here today with Pole-Carew's division. Headquar- tois and Wavells brigade of the tenth division are two miles in the rear.- Maxwell's brigade of the same division is the same distance to our right. The enemy are in strength on the opposite bank of the river. Our guns engaged theirs for three hours without our ��� being able to force a passage of the river, but shortly before dusk the mounted infantry under general Hutton turned the enemy's right flank in a very dashing manner pushing them across the river under heavy shelling. We are now bivouacking for the night within three miles of Vefc river. Our casualties, I hope, are nofc numerous. Hamilton was in action yesterday and succeeded in preventing a junction of two Boer forces by a well executed movement by some of the household cavalry, the Twelfth Lancers and Kitchener's Horse, who charged a body of the enemy and inflicted serious loss. Tho enemy fled, leaving their dead on the field and their wounded to be tended by our doctors. Mac- Donald's Highland brigade dislodged the enemy on the right flank under cover of the naval guns, in which operation the Black Watch distinguished themselves and were very skilfully led. Hamilton was advancing this morning to a difficult drift over the Klein Vet river. ' Hunter reports that Barton's brigade was engaged this morning within two miles of Roodian. The enemy's position was quite four miles long ond strongly held. He states that our men marched magnificently and carried ridge after ridge in grand style. Casualties in this'-force and in Hamilton's encounters will be reported as soon as possible. Captain Miller, who was taken prisoner near Thaba Nchu, has been sent to Ruddle's camp by the enemy wifch a severe wound in the abdomen. Brabant reports that one sergeaut and three men were captured on May 2nd while on patrol, and that one of them, who had been brutally illtreafced and leffc for dead by the Boers was found the following day. Wauebnton. Sunday May G.��� Yesterday general Barton drove from 2000 to 3000 Boers from their positions at Roordian where they awaited them. They retreated after stiff fighting, leaving a number of dead on the field. The British casualties were slight, general Barton is pursuing. Windsorton and Klip Dam have been evacuated. �� General Fagefe's brigade is attacking the \"Boer \"positionHat Warren ton. Vet River, Sunday, May 0.��� Yesterday the British, after a long march, encountered the Boeis holding Vet River, wifch six guns, two being of long range, and an artillery duel ensued. Meanwhile geueral Hutton, after a sharp engagement, crossed the river on the lef fc just before .sunset. The Boers retreated during the night, Tho engagement yesterday was strong and lasted from 0 in tho morning until 4 p. m. More than once the British infantry were obliged to engage the Boers at close quarters, and the Boers only retired when their retreat was nearly cut off. The British losses were 5 killed and 25 wounded, mostly Welsh Fusileers. The British took a batch of prisoneers including the Swedish ambulance, which they allowed to return. The Boers iu their hurry, left 13 dead. General Paget made a strong demonstration against the Boer position ea&t of the bridge, thereby preventing Boer reinforcements going to the assistance of their comrade1? in checking general Barton's advance. Vet Rivkr, May 6.-���General Pole-Carew started afc daybreak yesterday on a 19 mile march. He first came into contact witJi the Boers holding fche river afc 1 p. m. Tbe British soon had two batteries in action, and later they added two naval nine-pounders, two seven and two nine-inch siege guns. The Boers fired wibh great accuracy. Ifc is marvelous that no one on the British side was hurt. The British speedily engaged fche Boers who enfiladed the dismounted | men firing with maxims, but eral Hutton pushed forward his own porn-poin and .a galloping maxim and forced ::,'the Boers to leave the river bed. The encounter was terribly hot. Later the whole British force crossed the river threatening fche Boer right. WHAT THE GENERALS ARE AT Nothing but Good News. London, May 6, 7:04 a. m.���Lord Roberts is making better progress' than any one had dared to hope, and is meeting with success at all points. The only news of Winberg is the incidental reference to it in the dispatches from Vefc river describing general Pole-Carew's ojjer- ations, but as tho latest news of general Hamilton's operations on Saturday morning was that ho was then preparing to force the difficult passage over the little Vet river on the Bloemfontein-Winberg road, there need be no doubt that the news of the occupation is accurate. The Boers, following their customary practice, had evacuated their positions on the Vot river during Saturday night. As lord .Roberts is advancing along the railway and general Hamilton, 20 miles to the east, is threatening the* two wings of the Boor forces, it would nofc be surprising to hear that they had also evacuated Winberg.' Gencial Hamilton's advance will prevent the Boer forces in the direction of Thaba Nchu reinforcing their main army near Winberg. General Rundle on Saturday had arrived in pursuit of the Boers seven miles north of Thaba Nchu, compelling the Boers to retire. A Boer account of the capture of Brandfoit says: \"The federals, although weak.in numbers, offered a strong'resistance, but they were forced by the overwhelming numbers opposed to them, to evacuate the town.\" * --._\"��_. General Hunter's progressT though slow, is satisfactory. The idea that the relief of Mafeking is in sight, however, appears to have been premature, as the Boers in\" that quarter are still stoutly resisting the British advance. According to a dispatch to the Daily Mail from Cape Town, a special expedition to the westward lefb Kimberley a few days ago, and will endeavor to reach Mafeking while general Hunter and lord Methuen are operating on both sides of the Vaal river in connection wifch lord Roberts. From Lorenzo Marquez; come vaiious rumors that Plumer has been reinforced and is again advancing towards Mafeking. Another report says that Mafeking .has been relieved, and general Lommer wifch 3000 Boers captured at^Fourfceen streams Women have been placed in fche govei-nmentofjQccs in _the Transvaal in order to relieve fche burghers for active service.

SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION Review of the War. Nkw Yohk, May 0.���In his cable review of the South African war situation, to this morning's Tribune, filed at 1 a. m , Isaac X. Ford says: \" The advance of the British army toward Winburg has been continued in two columns. Goneral Hamilton with a mounted force was twenty miles north of Hout Nek on Thursday night after being engaged with the Boers throughout the day. The Thaba Nchu district has been virtually emptied of Boers, only a small rearguard with a single gun being reported there today. \"General Roberts' forecast that the Boer forces would be drawn off from Thaba Nchu by a northward movement has been fulfilled and he is acting under the same theory respecting Olivier's commandoes at Ladybi*andt, persevering in his advance without wasting time in operating eastward at a remote distance from his base of supplies, and assuming that they will ultimately be called to reinforce Delarey. Meantime the mounted infantry, supported by several infantry battalions, has pushed on from Brandfort towards the Vet river. ~' \"There was no official iiews afc midnight. The Boers are nofc likely to make a strong staud at Winburg, although the ground is favorable for defence. There is a high line of kopjes between Ven- terberg and Senekal, where South \"Africans familiar with the country believe there will be no serious resistance. Roberts,\" with a broad front of forty miles, will be able to hold the railway to Smaldeel station and cut off the communications of Winbuig and Ladybrandfc and Fickburg. \"The concentrations on the British side are uot fully known, but the third division, Hart's brigade and--Brabant's force, have remained in the southern district of,the Free State and the sixth division is apparently iu reserve \"at Kilofonfceiu.\" \"Details of the operations in the noithare still lacking. The Boer forces retreating from Brandfort did not exeeed four thousand, but were probably doubled at Winburg, where Dewet's commandoes were massed. \"One British gun was disabled because of the bursting of a Boer shell under the carriage, but otherwise there was little damage done by tlie'artillery fiie afc Brandfort. The Boors did nofc wait for the British .infantry, bufc abandoned their lines wifch little resistance. \"The Boers are described as despondent; and bewildered by the xapidity and secrecy of general Roberts' movements, bufc this is a twice told Laic which is hardly credible. \"The casualties in Hamilton's division are very light and indicate the caution _wifch _which_the _Boer positions are approached. The bulk of the work is done by the cavalry and mounted infantry. *' General Boberts takes pains to compliment the conduct of Broadwood's eavahy brigade dining the march northward from Hout Xek. Broadwood's brigade was caught afc ICooru Spi'uifc when seven guns Avere lost, but the commander has nofc been removed nor lias his force been discredited. General Jioborts, from motive-*--of his own, has overlooked Broadwood's responsibility for that 10verse and has marked him otib for favor. \" No details of Hunter's advance are allowed to pa's the censor.\" official quarters this morning that on his arrival here that officer will be appointed major-general commanding the forces. Major Drummond will, it is said, be promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colonel whilst in England on his way from South Africa. The appointment to the command is never made till the officer selected has arrived in Canada. The selected officer leaves England merely \"seconded for the service. A curious light will, it is claimed, be thrown on the. explanations in the house if a full return of the correspondence between his excellency lord Minto and Hon. Dr. Borden is brought down to the house. It is the general opinion that the suggestion of the appointment, even to pressure, came from government house. AUSTRALIANSJO THE FORE A Dashing Exploit. Vet River, May 6.���The Boers must have received about the same time the news of general Hamilton's occupation of Winberg. About sunset a detachment of 26 Australians, who had crept unseen towards the liver bed, found themselves near a kopje occupied by the Boers. After firing, they fixed bayonets capturing the kopje, on tlieir own initia- night fell. Early it was discovered and charged, All was done tive. Then this morning that the whole Boer force liad fled. The British discovered at every hundred yards along the railway small packets of high explosives concealed. The Boers had destroyed three bridges over the river between here and Brandfort, but in every case it was possible to make a detour. The Boers appear to be fighting with much less t,pirit. It is reported that they are commanded by general Lucas Merier. The bridge over tho Vet river is completely destroyed. General Button has captured a maxim gun. New Tug Launched. The new C. P. R. tug builfc to replace the Kaslo was launched informally on Saturday. The craft has nofc been named bufc she will be christened within a day or so as the officials have beon casting about for a week or so to .secure an appropriate name. The tug is a staunch and tidy little steamer and looks particularly well just now while her paint and varnish aie unsullied. The master and crew will be selected ou cuptain Troup's return and it is probable that slie will be placed in commission this week. She will be u&ed as a \"handy tug\" around the port and wifch the repairs and improvements to her engines, which went through fire when the was destroyed, av ill be a very addition to the fleet.

Kaslo, May 0.--[Special to the Tribune.]���The fifteen or twenty houses and stores whicli are all that remain of fire-swept Sandon had a narrow shave from being destroyed last night. The niins of the C.P.R. station blazed up. Fanned by a strong wind, which came furiously whistling up the gulch, some of the half burinvd material got strongly alight. The firemen, who had been working almost without break for forty-eight hours, had to turn out again iu full force. They had a hard fight to save the buildings in the upper end of the town, in wliich were huddled scores of families. Prompt action was all that saved the remainder of the city. Miles Ram ban gh of South Finch, Ontario, who was burned to death, was buried in the Sandon cemetery this afternoon. Premier Martin, who was speaking in Greenwood* the night of the fire, wired for full details and today the provincial government deposited $500 in the Bank of Montreal, New Denver, for the relief of Sandon. The prompt and large-hearted way in whicli outside towns have rendered aid has enabled the relief committee to meet the emergency fully. Stay Away.

If he had served his country one-half as faithfully as he has done mammon, it would, be better with him in this the hour of his great extremity. Tn_ Miner states that the 489 men whom George R. G. O'DriseolI and���Robert���Corlett- and Charles Henry Palmer have objected to are no more entitled to exercise the rights of British subjects than are Mr. West's horses. \"Tin__rci3 was no intention, weare sure, to attack the name of a single voter that was legally qualified, and as a matter of fact they did not, for the qualification was faulty through neglect to \" register within the time specified \" by law.\" So said yesterday's Miner, and as a combination of gross ignorance and impudent misrepresentation the statement is hard to beat. The names of hundreds of legally qualified voters were attacked, but in no case on the ground that their names had not beeu registered \" within the time specified by law,\" for they were so registered. There is no intention to seriously dispute the right of these men to havo a vote, but the schemers hope, by taking advantage of a badly drafted amendment to the Provincial Elections Act, to postpone the trial of the objections until it is too late for these names to go on the present voters' list. The scheme will not succeed, but it is a plot to prevent nearly 500 citizens from voting in one of the most important general elections iu the history of the province. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.

Is one issue the Minor, as -the organ of the peddlers, says that mayor Houston has no authority to direct the city's business allairs, and in the next issue, as the organ of candidate Fletcher, says mayor Houston is neglecting the city's business in endeavoring to secure to British subjects the right to vote. Th_ Miner lias departed from its usual custom of likening mayor Houston to Jack Shepherd aud other celebrated highwaymen, and now compares His Worship to that harmless creation of Cervantes' imagination, Don Quixote. The Don Thomas FobTion, 'ex-speaker of the legislative assembly, returned to Nelson yesterday from a trip to East Kootenay. Ho addressed meeting* at Purine and Cranbrook.

SOME NOTES FROM LONDON Tired of the War. New York, May 0.���-Speaking of foreign affairs in his London cable letter to this morning's Tribune, Isaac N. Ford, says : \" Foreign affairs escape observation when the y>, public is distracted with questions of imperial interest, The Berlin fetes are welcomed with hearty tributes from the English press to the German emperor and the crown prince. Not only is there sympathy for the emperor's naval policy, Avhich lias beeu carried with a com- ipromise that secures a great fighting'fleet, but he is regarded as Eng- ila ud's most useful friend abroad. Little is said iu print about American affairs, but without doubt there is a feeling of disappointment over the divided public opinion in the United States re- || speetiug the war. The feeling of ������'' discontent is reflected by the public here. Weariness of the war is '���shown by the eagerness with wliich fresh interests of il more pacific nature are sought. Smart society how considers it almost as bad form to talk about the Avar as to be dogmatic or deeply iu earnest. The archbishop's decision on the reservation of the elements of the sacrament is regarded by the religious press as a turning point iu the history of the English church. The judgment utteily disallows a practice whicli ritualists consideis of �����\"itftl ituportauce, and this is done on legal grounds because the matter was settled at the time of the reformation and the decision has never been reverted, it is uot yot < lcar whether a stiong minority of iireeoneiloble extremists will nofc decline to obey the archbishop, but the great majority of high church clergy vv ill be bound by the decision whether with or without constraint of conscience. Is now prepared to issue Drafts and Letters of Credit on Skaguay, IJ. S., Atlin, B. C., and Dawson City, N. W. T. I WON BY THE SWORD. The British auny has brought to s nne of the most skilful generals a ci op of dignities, wealth, and glory for which no other profession has any parallel. Iu actual money the duke of Wellington's brilliant generalship yielded considerably over J?5,000,000 for himself and his descendants, in addition to dignities and princely presents almost beyond number. After the great victory of A&saye, in which ho crushed the Mahrafcta power, gifts poured on him in lavish prolusion, including a sword of honor valued at $3000,\" tlio gift\" of the inhabitants of Calcutta; and a b 10,100 service of plate, the tiibute .of his army. .After the greater .battle of Talavera- he received a ' peerage and a pension *of $10,000 a year for two generations..'\" Salamanca, brought him \" the .thanks of parliament, a inartjuisate. aiiid. a sum of .'������500.000, and a little later the Commons voted him a further sum of $2,000,000 to inain- _xaiir his dignity-as a\" peer. The crowning victory of Waterloo was rewarded by an additional grant of $1,000,000, and among countless other rewards were $300,000 in prize money, a silver plateau, worth \"pyO.OOO from tho king of Portugal, a statue in Hyde Park- which cost another $50,000,'and a magnificent sword from,the city of London. In addition to these substantial* rewards tWellington won within the short space of live years a vi comity, itii earldom, a marquisate, and a dukedom, in addition to seven foreign titles, including one of prince. The great duko of Marlborough, . lie victor of .Blenheim and Ranii- ].'__-*, reaped a rich harvest from his .-oldicring. Of diguitics he won wi chhis sword a barony, earldom, marquisate, a dukedom, iu addition to two titles of prince, all within the space of seventeen years. A pension of $20,000 a year was conferred on him and. his descendants, llie manor of Woodstock was presented to him by parliament, and ihe palace of Blenheim was built for him by the queen's direction at a cost of a quarter of a million pounds. As the duke's pension was continued to his descendants for 177 years^ his skill and valor, like that of the duke of Wellington, yielded more than a million pounds Cable sterling. Credits, But these two generals, the military geniuses of this and the last century, stand absolutely alone in the wealth of money their swords won for them. To find a rival we must look to the navy and lord Nelson, who, in addition to large parliamentary grants, won for his descendants a perpettial pension of $25,000 a. year. Viscount Gough, the victor of the Sikhs, thrice received the thanks of both houses of . parliament, was 'made baron and viscount, knight of St. Patrick, G.C.S.I., and privy councillor ; and received in addition to these honors, a pension of $10,000 a year from the government, and a similar pension from the East India Company. Few soldiers, however, of any country or century have reaped a richer crop of rewards than the present commander-in-chief, lord Wplseley, or have croAvded so many honors into a smaller compass of time. In lS70'he was a plain colonel of infantry, with a distinguished record, ifc is true, but with little to show for it beyond a fairly rapid promotion in army rank. Within eight years he had become a general, a Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George, and a K.C.B.; he has been thanked by parliament for\"his \"courage, energy and perseverence\" in the conduct of the Ashanti war, and had received a grant of $125,000 and a sword of honor. Since then he has twice received the thanks of both houses of jxirlia- ment, was created: a viscount in 1SS5, and has since blossomed into a knight of St. Patrick, a privy councillor, a G.C.B., a commander- in-chief, in addition to receiving several honorary degrees from our leading universities. Even this astonishing record of distinction has been rivalled, if not eclipsed by lord Roberts. , The hero of Kandahar has beeu mentioned twenty-three times in dispatches and has twice been thanked by both houses of parliament, and on many occasions by the government of India. He lias won the Grand Cross of three oiders of knighthood ���the Bath, the Star of India and the Indian empire . is a privy councillor and a knight of St. Patrick and a baron ; has received doctor's degrees from the four leading uni- A'eisities in the United Kingdom and the freedom of a dozen cities and royal boroughs. Ifc is quite possible that lord Kitchener may yet rival even such marvellous records as these ; for a man who at forty-eight has won a peerage, a G.C.B., K.C.M.G. the thanks of parliament and a grant of $150,000, may reasonably be expected to reap a A'ery lichcrop of laurels Imperial Bank of Canada HEAD OFFICE, TOUONTO.

LAV, Munngor. ing a ready backer���himself. The Cuban is recognized as honest as the sun, and this reputation has aided materially the career of his brethren of the ball and pocket. In style, he, like Schaefer at billiards, is inimitable. Left-handed, and having but slight use of a partially deformed right arm, De Oro is the best bridge player in the world. Unlike others���Slosson, for i nstance���Avho use the instrument well, he uses only the lower- notch of the bridge, claiming thus to have the advantage of more accurately ciiing the ball. Highly nervous, he talks almost incessantly to some f riend .when his opijonent is at play, but-never, does he do a wrong thing in the line of hampering an adversary. Better for money than for fun, he tries ahvays to have the championship contests for more cash than the rules provide for���$150 a side. \"Combinations'* are his forte, and in the championship . match with Peyton in 1S99 he gained.over 150 balls through smashing: the bunch on what looked to be 10 to 1 shots. When a player finds five straggling * balls almost in a row, bangs across. the table, hits:\" the first, and drives the last onto the \"eight ball,\" which. he has. \"called'' for end: pocket, and, after all, the \"eight ball\", has to go nearly -\"full\" onto another ball several inches from the pocket and- carom slowly before finding the hole, he may be said to be a man who takes long, chances. Yet this De Oro did when behind Peyton on the first night's play, and the successful execution of the shot : helped him along 42 balls. In ways of ma'king balls do strange things with this or that tAvist pool has improved wonderfully. Recently, De Oro showed to an expert Avho was- nearly first class 20 years ago 17 things that tho latter never dreamed of. In tho days of Wahlstrom, \"the Swede,\" no one e\\*er thought of playing \"15 or no count\" for money, and yet today some players nearly up to such performances are easily defeated by Grant Loy, who uses only his light hand and is barred from any kind of rest whatever, and the best amateurs are 40 balls in 100 behind Do Oro, according to hi^ oavu statement. The Cuban \"says, hoAvever, that maybe Wahlstrom. had , ho continued playing pool, might have been the best player Avho eA*er lived, as lie certainly could do things with, the cue ball impossible to any billiardist or pool expert, barring none. It is interesting to note that both Wahlstrom and De Oro learned to play pool on a 0 -c 12 table. The Cuban says he has seen a table 7 x 14, and two and a half inch balls were used. Sn be the outcome of the Avar���important though that may be for the peace of the Avorld and the prosperity of South Africa���sinks into minor significance. ORO DENORO MINE. Rossland. Record. Ross Thompson, who has just returned from a trip to the Oro De- nqro mine in Summit camp, brings news that a parallel ledge to the one already developed has beeu uncovered on that property. \"We knew this vein ran through our ground, for it showed in an open cut on the railroad and Ave have uoav stripped it at a point 300 feet west of the shaft. It has 20 feet of good copper ore and AAre are now making an open -cut along it. Work Avill. be started immediately to extend the lower tunnel for a distance of about 300 feet, where we expect to tap this new ledge at a distance of about 200 feet. \"Things are very quiet in the Boundary country and are likely to continue so until after the election. The Knob Hill, Ironsides and B. C. are still running full blast, but most of the other mines are shut down. The Grand Forks smelter will be in operation as soon as the dam is completed,-,but. ..this-has-been delayed by high AA'ater.

It was good Canadian gold whicli gave senator George Turner of Washington the power to try and embitter the relationship between Great Britain and the United States. The Le Roi gold mine made Hon. George Turner a senator. He might still have been struggling to live ou his rank of brevet \"jedge\" if the magic of British gold had.not put him in the race for the United States senatorship. Tho personal experiences of senator Turner must testify- to the liberality of British laAvs. Spokane, the city which claims him as her oavu, has been boomed by her contact with the mineral resources of British Columbia. Yet senator Turner cannot miss a chance to join the other demagogues in an attempt to sympathise with the Boers against an empire which is the best friend of his nation, and under whose liberal laws he'.acquired-the- wealth which dishonored the United States senate Avith his presence.

Alfredo Do Oro, the champion 15- ballpbol player, is now a man of ;37ye;us ot\" age, a handsome, well- droo-iod fellow, carrying the clear, oHa*c complexion of the Cuban race, and endowed with the manner of a gentleman descended from the dons, ile is beyond doubt the best educated of all men known as \"first- class at anything played on a - billiard table, as he AA'as schooled in a college in Xow York city. It is now some J 5 years since, at the games of 15-baIl pool played in the public room*?, there was noticed, tho figure of a trim young Cuban, who1 was always ready' to bet the coin, of which he had a pocketful.' As no one knew his name he was given the nickname of \"Balbo,\" a noted Italian murderer of the time, and today De Oro is . so' called by - many, of his, down-town 'friends. Always ready to play at\" anything for money, the sharks led the Cuban a merry pace, and before he received his education at pool and poker he had exhausted a couple of small fortunes. Turning professional, much against the wishes of his people, he has ever since been tho foremost expert at lo-ball pool, and eveiy medal for the championship except ono held by the late Albert Fvey, has died on his hands. Pool players do not last like billiard players, as an oagle eye is indispensable to the execution of the long shot by which the game is opened, and De Oro is probably the oldest of the pool champions, unless Cyril Dion, the first champion, oufe- aged him. When De Oro is too old to play pool there AA'ill most likely be an end of professional matches, as he is the one expert ahvays hav- this connection it may be stated that Ives always gave credit to English billiards for his improvement at our stylo of game, and that Schaefer advis.es amateur and professional to practice this style of game. POLITICAL RESULTS OF THE WAR. Cuiient Histoiy. - Some of the political results of the Avar��� in South Africa maybe seen even while the struggle is still- in progress. Among them the most important is the restored and augmented prestige\" of the British empire as a military -world-power.\" The resources and energy displayed in transporting 7000 miles over sea a dozen army divisions Avithin a feAV months, the bravery and determination of the imperial and colonial troops in the face of discouraging difficulties and repeated reverses; the development of a great body of veterans schooled in the realities of war under tho most modern conditions���these are facts AA'hich have ���dispelled the rumors of Britain's retrogression to second rank, and which make for her greater influence as a poAA'er to be reckoned with in the settlement of the important diplomatic issues uoav involving the nations in various quarters of the globe. Bub a far more significant lesulb even than these is the revelation to the world thai the British empire is a unit. Strong as had been the ties of loyal affection which bound the colonies to the mother land, and througlrhcr to one another, these ties h.ive been further cemented by the blood Avhich has reddened veldt and kopje, and have been idealized and transformed into unbreakable bonds by the sympathy and fellowship of a common sacrifice.
