Lois'don, May 15.���I a. in.���General Buller's turning of the Big- gursberg position was effected by a bold movement. The Boers have evacuated Hclpmaakar, but were making a stand on Monday at Blcs- koplagt, seven miles from Dundee. The correspondents on tlio .spot regard it as a rear guard action intended to cover the retreat of the ju my, At .the same time geueral . - Hildynrd took Indaba, and it is reported tliat the Boers withdrew in disorder. General Buller, who Mceins to be be employing his full l_ i strength, is expected to push on. His Iirst marches were 45 miles in three days. lie is thus breaking into British territory wliich has boon administered for six months by the Transvaalers as though it wore part of their republic, they holding courts and levying taxes. His success, therefore, lias political a* well as military consequences. While lord Roberts' infantry are concentrating at Kroonstadt where lliey will rest for a day, his horsemen have penetrated IS miles northward. In the squadron which cut tho railway 15 miles beyond Kroonstadt was the American scout, Fred Jlurnham. Two hundred Boers, -u ho had hidden in the river jungles near Kroonstadt to escape service, have surrendered to the Biitish and have taken the oath of allegiance. According to a dispatch from Rcnnetsburg tothe Daily Telegraph, dated May 10th, Paul and William McDonald, members of the Free State volksraad, demanded that the chairman should call a meeting to sue for peace as further resistance was suicidal, and proposed to make president Steyn a prisoner. ���Nothing definite has been heard about the expected relief of Mafeking. The Cape Town correspondents continue to wire that relief is imminent, fixing Tuesday or Wednesday as the final date. Inquirers at the war ollice are told that the iimvh of the Relief will be made public immediately on its receipt. Mr. Hallowell, formerly correspondent at Mafeking, who was put \"over the Transvaal border, fcelc- uraphing from Lorenzo Marquez on Sunday, says; \"Judging from talk J have had with the Boers, the end df the war will come in a 'month or six weeks. Mr. Steynkamp, chairman of the second raad, who travelled , with me, said that if {he burghers were pressed from 1'ietoria they would retire to the '.district'of the Leydeiiburg mountains; which had already been provisioned. He remarked he hoped the burghers would staud firm, but he feared they ,were'too broken in .-pirit. I gathered from him that tiie whole available force of tho 1 Transvaal was now iu the field, the final commandcriug having taken place last Thursday, and that ic is only the powerful ^magnetism of \"president \"Kriiger \"tlrat keeps the burghers together.\" At the British hospitals in Bloemfontein the deaths from fever average from S to 10 daily. A Chinese Revolution. St. Taut,, May M.���A Helena, Montana, special to the Pioneer pi ess, says; President Tim, of the \"Pop Wong Wei,\" yosterday sent the following cablegram to the empress dowager at I'ekin through the British embassy at Shanghai : \"Unless the heir apparent, Fut- t'liun, i�� superseded, unworthy advisers removed, and emperor Kwougsn is restored to power, we will combine the interior Chinese and raise an army.\" 'I ho cablegram was signed by the association. Today president Tim received the following reply from tho embassy at Shanghai: \"Yours of yesterday to the empress Dowager at Pekin, will be stopped here for further transmission. It is considered dangerous to the security of the country.\" President Tim averts that an army will be smirched against the empress this (summer, and that it is already partly organized. Stead Helps the Boers. London, May 14.���W. T. Stead, who was the last man in Europe to bid farewell to the Boer delegation, obtained from Mr. Abraham Fischer (a member of the l^ree State executive council, and one of the delegates) a message to the American people, which is practically in the ��ame words as the message prevl- <.Eisly sent through the Associated .Press. Mr. Fischer jidded: \"The j governments of the old world* appear paralyzed. We hope to find a different state of things in the new world. We know that at the very time the'Jameson raid threatened the independence of the Transvaal the American republic succeeded in inducing Great Britain to submit to arbitration a question which involved, not her interests, but the frontier interests of the republic of Venezuela. < As you obtained arbitration for Venezuela after England had declared it was impossible, so wo venture to hope that the free and enlightened public opinion of the American republic will succeed in inducing the power attacking our very existence to stay her hand and submit the question of the future government of these regions to the free judgment of an impartial tribuual.\" WILL SOON OCCUPY DUNDEE BIGCARSBERG NOW TAKEN British Push On. London, May 14.���A special dispatch from Stone Hill Farm, Natal, dated today, says: \"Geueral Buller's advance commenced Thursday, when he left Ladysmith in strength. When within two miles of Helpmaakar, the Boers opened a heavy artillery firo and the British replied, while a portion of Buller's troops worked around the Boer flanks. The British attack was pressed home Sunday by Bethuen, who on the right outflanked the Boers, whose splendid defensive positions on the Biggars-' berg were practically taken. General Buller's march, subsequent to the attack, was carried on without a hitch. The British are still pushing on.\" Monroe Doctrine and Germany.

It also lias been asserted that these German colonies maintain their home customs in the new land, deal almost entirely with Germany, use onjy the German language, have al- mostautouomous governments within the limits of the American republics, and the colonies are, in fact, little Germanics wherever located. The state department has addressed an instruction to every American minister and consul in South and Central America to fully inform tho department on all points to which reference ,has beeu made. Of course Germany is not referred to by name, for such a direction might naturally give umbrage to the German government. The circular applies to colonists of all nationalities, though it is expeeted that the consulsrin compiling their \"reports, will differentiate colonists. India Famine Sympathizers. Sew York, May 14.���The executive committee of the committee of\" one hundred on the India famine relief met at the chamber of commerce this afternoon. It is proposed to communicate with all cities of the United States, the secular and religious press of tlio United States and Canada, and churches and religious organizations everywhere with a view to attracting public attention and awakening public sympathy. Bom hay, May 14.���Louis Kloopsh of New York, publisher of the Christian Herald, has arrived here and is starting on a tour of the famine stricken districts. He handed to the international missionary committee three lacs , of rupees ($145,000) for distribution among the famine sufferers. A Temperate Army. ��� London. April 14.���At the annual meeting of the Army Temperance Association, major-general sir George AVhite, the defender of Ladysmith, presiding, a letter from lord Roberts, dated Bloemfontein April 19tb, was read during which the.writer says: \"There never was a more temperate army than that which inarched under my command from the Modder river to Bloemfontein.

London, May 14.���A dispatch received by the Associated Press from Pietermaritzburg, Natal, timed 12:05 p. m. today, brings the first intimation of success attained by general Buller in northern Natal. The sender of this dispatch evidently assumes that news of the affair has been received from the scene of hostilities. He merely says: \"General Buller's official telegram notifying his success at Biggars- berg, received here an hour ago, has given satisfaction. It is confidently anticipated that Dundee will be occupied by the British today. The residents of the northern country are delighted, as forcing the Biggarsburg means that they will speedily be enabled to return to their homes. At about the time this message was received, another dispatch came to the Associated Press, dated Stone Hill farm, 8:20 o'clock this morning. It says: \"After four days', march eastward at the foot of the Biggarsburg ridges, itfthe direction of Helpmaakar. Avhich was occupied ' by the federals, the second brigade on Sunday led the attack. Dundonald's brigade broke the Boer centre and Bethuen's Horse advanced on their extreme right. In the direction of Pomeroy. a small party of burghers occupied a ridge overlooking Helpmaakar, but they did not wait for the assault.\" Recent British scouting in the direction of Dundee has shown that the federals were in great force in the Biggarsburg. So, apparently, geueral Buller concluded that it was necessary to clear them from the rear before commencing a movement in the direction of Drakens- berg range. If that is his plan, he lias possibly divided - his ' force, sending one column eastward to threaten Vryheid and Utreeht and ;a,_,i��� x~~s^_,-.~ 3>-<��-, ._l.;l_ bound column attempts to juncture with the forces of Roberts via the Harrismith road. Telegrams from Kroonstadt'indicate that general French's cavalry is keeping in touch with the Boers. But, perhaps, lord Roberts will be compelled to order'a brief halt of his main body in order to allow the troops to recuperate after their exhausting! marches of the past week. All the correspondents agree that, to all intents and purposes/the Free Staters have severed their military alliance with the Transvaal, though scattered bodies, they say, may possibly Jiold out hero and there for some time. At the same time a dispatch from Cape Town, dated today, says a proclamation will be published this week annexing the Orange Freo State. It is also said that general Botha, the eommandei'-in-chief of the Boer forcesrthreatens 'to~resign7 if \"any preparations are made for the wanton destruction of property.

It is learned, however, that on Saturday he called at the office of the company aud received his pay. The last heard of him was that he had gone to New York. The Baltimore & Ohio company has offered a reward of $1000 for his arrest. STERN KITCHENeTiVIELTED Incident of the War. New York, May 14.���A batch of correspondence from the Loudon office of the Associated Pi ess contains the following: \"While lord Kitchener was engaged in suppressing tiie Prieska rebellion he ordered the destruction of a certain farmhouse. Not seeing any signs of his orders being carried out, he rode over with his staff and found an interesting situation. \"In the doorway of the doomed house stood a pretty young Dutch girl, her hands clasped to the door posts and her eyes flashing fire from beneath her snnbouuet. The Irish sergeaut in charge of the party of destruction.was vainly endeavoring v to persuade her to let him pass.in, but to all of his blan- ishmeuts of: \" 'Arrah, darlint, wisha now, ac- cusha,' etc., the maiden turned a deaf ear, and a deadlock prevailed. \"Lord Kitchener's sharp 'what's this' put an end to the scene. The girl evidently guessed that this was the dreaded;chief of staff, and\"her lips trembled in spite of herself. Kitchener gazed ^sternly at her, standing bravely though tearfully there, and turned^ to his military secretary and said : \" 'Put down that the commander's orders with reference to the destruction of Rightman's farm could not be carried out owing to unexpected opposition. Forward, men.' \"This is vouched for by C. A. Mc- Nuellen, an engineer recently recently leturned from Jepanesburg.\" inree marunTUaSoiaaTces. \\ Kaslo, May 14.���[Special to The Tribune].���There are throe Martin men anxious for nomination at the government convention here tomorrow.

Bob Green does not think the Martin candidate will take many votes from him, though a three-cornered contest is expected. Mint for Canada. ' Ottawa, May 14���[SpeeiaMo The Tribune].���Fielding stated in the house today that tho Dominion government has under consideration the question of establishing 'a mint in Canada, but that the same terms that were granted to Australia would not suit on' account of Australia having the sovereign the same as iu England, while Canada \"would roquire~$l and~5|>5~coins. - Proceedings in the House. Ottawa, May 14.���[Special to The Tribune.]���In the house today Borden introduced a bill'to amend the Militia Act by giving power to the government to appoint colonels in future. At present the highest officer that can be appointed by Canada is a lieutenant-colonel. The bill was read a first time. The balance of the day was spent on the criminal code. Two More Nominations. Vancouver, May 14.-���[Special to The Tribune.]���G. Tatlow was chosen by the party-line Conservatives tonight to take tlio place of C. E, Tisdall, resigned, ou their ticket. John Oliver has received the government nomination for Delta to run against F. W. Barrie, Conservative, and ex-speaker Forster of the Provincial Party. �� Usury Bill. Ottawa, May IL��� [Special to The Tribune.]���Dandurand's usury bill was reported in the senate today. It was changed so as to make the maximum rate of loans of less than $500 12 per cent, instead of *i0 per cent as stated in the bill. The rate on judgment debts was reduced from 10 to six per cent.

London, May 14.-3:12 p.m.���The war office has received the following dispatch from lord Roberts: \"Kroonstadt, May 13.���There were more casualties iu the cavalry division on May 10th than reported by me. I have been unable to get au exact account of what occurred, as the commanding officer, captain Els worthy, .was killed, and two officers were wounded at the same time and have been sent to the rear. But it would appear that a party of our men, going to a kraal on which a white flag was flying, was suddenly attacked by a large number of the enemy. Two officers, captain Haigh, of the Sixth Dragoons, and lieutenant Wilkinson, of the Australian horse, were made prisoners and twenty-one men are still unaccounted for. Some of them may have turned up, as the cavalry covered a considerable distance May 10th, and men reported missing have beeu rejoining during the last few days.\" The above dispatch refers to losses sustained by the Inniskillings on May 10th, as detailed in the dispatches of the Associated Press. The troopers were fired on while unsaddling their horses, having approached the kraal unsuspiciously, Avhile a white flag was flying from it. The First to Pay Their Losses. The Hartford Fire Insurance Company was the first company that willingly paid the City of Nelson the tax imposed on fire insurance companies, and that, too, at a time when i t had not placed any business in the city. Since then its agents here,\" Ward Brothers, have placed considerable insurance for the company, and the chances are they will place a good deal more in the future, for the old reliable Hartford is as prompt in payinen��~of\"fl;s taxes'.\" ^ esE6rclay Ward Bi oth ers received a draft from the general agent of the company in San Francisco to cover the company's losses by tin' fire in the Burns block, which occurred on the 24th of, last month. Three weeks' time is not long to wait for money lost through the destruction of property by fire. Bigelow vs LaBau. After chambers were over the rest of the day at the court house yesterday was occupied in the hearing of the case of Bigelow vs La Ban, an action arising out of the administration of the Carrie Willis\" estate. lt'developed that the plaintiff had sold the deceased his half interest in the Victoria block, ou which, at the time of her death, $1000 was still owing, secured only by a promisory note. Dr. La Ban _wa&_executor_of the estate, and_the_ plaintiff seeks to render him personally liable for the amount, on the grounds that he received certain moneys belonging to the estate and paidtheother creditors, but not the plaintiff, who claims that he should at any rate have beeu paid pro rata. He also charges tho doctor with inal-administration of the estate. The case was not concluded, and tho arguments* of counsel will be heard today.. Decision Beserved. Argument on the application for a writ of prohibition 'forbidding collector of votes Wright to place IS!) voters' names ou the. voters' list was resumed yesterday morning before Mr. justice Drake in chambers. Though in no way instructed to appear in the case, W. A. Macdonald, Q. C, and J. H. Bowes actively assisted R, M. Macdonald in the presentation of his case. S. S. Taylor, Q. C, appeared for the disfranchised voters. His lordship reserved his decision, but promised to give it in time for an appeal to the full court on Slay 28th. Thus the matter is unlikely to be finally settled until the last moment. Sad Side of War. Kaslo, May 11���[Special to The Tribune].���In a letter just received from Bloemfontein. private George Wilkins of this city tells of the sad side of war. He gives a graphic account of the morning after the battle, .saying: \"Men from each regiment wore s'eon on the gory field collecting the dead. Many men were actually weeping over their harrowing task. The sight of so many gallant soldiers of the queen lying cold and still affected the stoutest heart. Our men lay as they fell, facing the enemy, but there were smiles: on their faces which told much. They being dead yet spoke to us as the survivors. I hope we may have to take the field again before long for there is a fascination about fighting. I am a thousand times more proud of being a Canadian than ever. We actually put the gallant Gordon Highlanders in the shade both at fighting and marching. They used to say, these long- legged devils walk too fast. We are not looking forward with special relish to more forced inarches on quarter rations. Men dropping' dead and going mad were * features of the last one. But we would welcome another advance. We want another bar to our medals.\" MANSFIELD IS SUCCESSFUL Heilbron Now the Capital. Kroonstadt, May 14.���President Steyn has gone to Heilbron, not Lindley. He has declared the former the new capital. Four hundred burghers have given up their arms here and in this neighborhood. Although the bridge across the Valsch has been destroyed, a good deviation exists where the road ran before the bridge was constructed. The Transvaalers are reported to be massing at the Vaal. The Standard and Diggers News, - of Johannesburg, shows that dissensions exist in the Transvaal volksraad. Railway repairs are progressing rapidly. The town accopts the occupation quietly. Boer Stores Captured. Thaba Nchu, May 13.���The eighth division, with its front extending 30 miles, was yesterday moving forward. Generals Gren- fell and Brabant followed the Boers, reaching Newberry mills aud capturing great quantities of flour and grain.

Curzon of Kedleston, has telegraphed to the secretary of state for India, lord Geotge Hamilton; saying: \"The decline in the number of persons demanding relief in Bombay and else wheie is probably due to the outbreak ,of cholera, which has broken up many of the relief camps, and has enormously increased our famine oflicers' difficulties. Otherwise the situation is unaltered.\" Relief of Mafeking Near. London, May li,���*News from Mafeking is expected speedily. The war office is reported to have csx- pressed the opinion that news of raising the siege of that place may be expected by Wednesday. The parliamentary secretary of the war office, George Wyndham, in the house of- commous-today,-deelined to divulge lord Roberts' plan for the relief of Mafeking, but added significantly that he hoped it would ���shortly be accomplished.' Austro-Hungariaa Consuls.

Passed Tirst Beading. London,. May 14.- The .Australian delegates and numerous colonial agents and peers who have formerly been governors of various colonies, were present in the house of commons during the debate on the Australian Federation bill. After sir Charles Dilke and others had spoken the bill was put through its first reading. ' The second reading was fixed for May 21st. ___ No Authentic News of Mafeking. , London, May 13.���There i.s no authentic information respecting the appearance of a British column of 3000 mounted troops near Vryburg, on the way to Mafeking. There are many conflicting reports from Boer and British sources, and there is a strong probability that Mafeking will be relieved about the time of the queen's birthday, as the officials have been predicting for several weeks. Despite Backcappers. News has been received from Ernest Mansfield, which shows that he is meeting with the most gratifying success in his efforts to introduce capital into this country. He has not achieved this without having serious difficulties to surmount, difficulties placed in his way by a man who should not have allowed,. private spite to induce him to do his best to give Kootenay a black eye���J. J. Fleutot, manager of the Excelsior Gold Mines, operating the Joker mine. This man, actuated solely by private pique, has done his best to decry the country at all times, assuring old country capitalists that the properties in this country - were wildcats and its inhabitants , swindlers, he, himself, apparently, being the only honest man in the country. That Fleutot did not succeed is a great tribute to the confi-'. dence deservedly reposed in Mr. ~ Mansfield by his principals, who, J probably, also were shrewd enough to divine^the real motives of a man who went out of his way to wreck enterprises with wliich he had -> nothing to do, and which did not conflict directly 'or indirectly with:,,\" his own interests. ��� > It was thanks to Mr. Mansfield \" that Fleutot ever got his present * job, namely, manager of the com- _��� pany operating the Joker mine, for- , that property, which is now conceded to be one of the richest in Kootenay, was bonded on Mr. Mansfield's report. Notwithstanding - this, if he could, he would have , prevented $2000 a month being ' paid in .wages for the development., of adjoining'claims; he would havo' prevented W. E. Boie from getting _. $20,000, the balance of, the purchase price on his claims, and also the prospectors who owned- the '_ Black Hawk and Daisy group near , Ymir from getting $7500, though IjeJxacLueWKjseen_the .properties in All this back-dipping was of no - avail, however, and the payments enumerated above were duly made. Mr. Fleutot has* made money out of Kootenay, and iu return he has done his best to give the country a - black eye'and rob the prospectors of their hard-earned reward, even though facts had to be falsified and the truth suppressed. Mr. Mansfield expects to have the West Kootenay Brick &Limo Company organized into a company of ��150,000, of which ��75,000 will be set aside for working capital. So it will be seen that this industry is to be rapidly pushed into the first rank to the great benefit of Nelson aud Kaslo, Kootenay wants more Mansfields but no Fieutots at all. It wants mining men who will lend their best efforts to placing the illimitable resources of the Kootenay be- - fore the money centres of the world. ��� It does not want men who will deliberately try to give the country a black eye in order to gratify petty personal spite. Canadian Sentries Not Asleep. Dr. LaBau has received an interesting letter from captain Hodgins. Much of it covers matter that has been already thoroughly gone into, but lie gives a clear account of the two Canadian sentries who were supposed to have fallen asleep on duty at Belmont. It appears that a picket of the .Monster Mounted Infantry came into camp one night aud reported' that they had not < been challenged, though one of their number who had lagged behind, was duly challenged. The sentrios, who wore posted a little off the road, swore that they had challenged them but that the Munsters did not reply, and as they knew who the men were they let them go by without firing a shot, as should have been done according to the regulations. The men were let off with a slight reprimand, so evidently there was nothing very serious about it as was thought at the time from the cabled accounts. Dismissed. Gordon Cameron, who was appointed health inspector at Ry- kert's during the recent smallpox scare, and who lias made himself cordially disliked by every man in that neighborhood, has been notified thafc he is no longer a health inspector. If he was given twenty- four hours to got out of the country, every man around Rykert's would bless the man that would enforce the order. ($��������'< y5i*aS\"�� ,w '-To*-*. THE TEIBUNE: NELSON B.

What does the doctor mean by such a declaration ? Does he mean that he would make eight hours a legal day's work and prevent by a penal clause any one from working more than eight hours a day ? Or does he mean that he would make eight hours a legal day's work, the same as six per cent is made the legal rate of interest where the rate is not specified ? We are afraid the doctor does not know what he means, anymore than he does where he stands in regard to Joseph Martin. He has stated officially that he would not support Mr. Martiu as leader in or out of the house, yet he is posturing as the Martin candidate in the hopes that by doing so he will.get support from laboring men who believe that Joseph's platform will cure all the evils that they are supposed to suffer from. Candidates should be consistent, in Nelson riding at least, because two-thirds of the electors in the riding think for themselves and cannot be led into supporting men who favor one policy in Nelson, another iu Ymir, and still another over in the Goat River country. 0p_0^'i^.00.(^.00.00.00.00.00.00 .^.^.fit0.00.0_0.^. ���^���^���lS',Sl'S>,1S^,SK',-iiS,jg''.(=>.c m mx mi M ���i_Z_cZ�� _'^'* 7-(Z>' -ez>-i M W #* H GdsorVs Bay Stores Touch the Button of your Purse We do the Rest HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. # m # m m m INCORPORATED 1QTO.

Between the iirst and the* fifth day of May, three men, namely, G. It. G. O'Driscoll, Robert Corlett and C. II. Palmer, objected lo 489 of the 565 names being placed on the voters' List. The.question-natumlly-ai'ises, why were not all the names objected to ? Why were 70 names allowed to go through without objection? Why should David McBeath, who who was born in Canada fifty years ago, who has resided in the province for jnany years, who is a large owner'of real property in Nelson, be objected to as an alien, as a man not 21 years of age, aud as a, man not a resident ot Lhe riding, if it was not because, he was known to be a supporter of the' candidacy of John Houston for member of the legislative assembly. Why was the name of Kenneth Carrol Beaton, who has been a resident of British Columbia for less than three months, and who has no property interests in the province, allowed to be placed on the voters' list ? Simply because he was and is a member of the local Conservative Association, an organization whose leading members conspired to deprive better men than themselves from exercising a right inherent to British subjects in Canada. ^^���^H^ _^t^_\\t *^^9^ g^^-W& *^^k\\w *^m^ *^^-\\w ^^H^ *^^^_P *^^Bp *^^-_w ^^^_\\\\�� ^^9__\\ *^^^b *^GtL^ ^^^b *^9& 49_t^ ^^hfc^ 4t&f ^^9** ^~\\\\W^* ^^^^** 0ttt^ ^^^^* ^-9^ ^B^^* ^^9f ^^^\" ff^_\\^^ ^9&** 4^_\\^* ^9&* ___\\\\^* Alex Stewart Room 3, Turner & Boeeh Block.

Poor old Charlie Soffcon leffc the regiment when we wore stationed at Delhi unci wont down to Bombay on route for home. He was our .senior captai.ii and the best soldier in the regiment. He was also our host bachelor, for I did not count for much, being only a doctor, and /finall and plain and getting on for 'forty. '\"Whatever you'do don't get mar- lioil,\" we all adjured as we bade ,' him farewell. Then came the i rumor, a week later, that he Avas ! still at Bombay, then the telegram ' to me to go down itnd serve him as ; best man. ���' I went down by the mail train | and found awaiting me on tho plat- ] form Charlie Sefton, who looked so i very quiet and so astonishingly j happy that I felt a sort of tugging ���JI sensation in the throat. Extreme > happiness is always alarming. I Miss George to whom I was duly ! presented, was uot in the first Hush ] of her youth. She was a girl of ' perhaps 27, and good looking. < She was traveling in India with ' friends who, it struck me,.were not Ion very intimate footing. They I wore all staying at a hotel from : which the wedding was to be unobtrusively celebrated. The couple had only beeu engaged a week. It ' is the only case of love at first sight ��� sincere, permanent, convincing��� which 1 have encountered. My simple duties were duly performed. Charlie Sefton and Eleanor CJcorge were declared to be man and wife, I saw the ceremony. 1 hoard the declaration. 1 appended lo Lhe entry in the rogibter my >uiim8, which looks more at home on 'ti death certificate. 1 was deadly sober, as folks aie at weddings. * She is giving up a lot of money io marry me.\" said'Sefton after the ceremony,'when he and 1 happened Uhhe alone for a lew iriimitcK. , \"And you ar?? giving up a career,\" i icHeetod. mindful of many young I'mcn married. But there are some marriages i which strike one at once as inevitable. Tho only question i.s why the people concerned have not met > toner. This union was of ^uch a description. The bride and bridegroom went away from the church with that distressingly happy look which i makes one feel uncomfortable They , were to sail for home the next day. J journeyed slowly back to Delhi by a stopping night train, after seeing the Just of their boat from the 1 outer pier. As I stepped ou|. of the jc image hi the early morning and liioted _the _mist .rising from���the \\huiin.a two quartermasters of the I'otmiMilar & Oriental steamer Kiimana tipped up a plank and pro- I'eipitated the dead body of Charlie iK^ftoiii iuto the .silvery waters oi\" i ho Arabian sea.
