NELSON: SATURDAY MpRSTUSTG ___��?i______-_____== AUGUST 4 1900 h NOTHING AUTHENTIC KNOWN ** Concerning the Chinese Situation. \" London, August 4.���According to ���'* special dispatch from Shang-Hai, dated August 3rd, tbe advancing ��� column of the allies was reported '��� yesterday to havo reached a point 35 miles beyond Tien-Tsin. Nothing '���from any other point corroborates this s tatemcn t. In fact the S fcan d ard -\"goes so far as to say that it fears jPiihe real advance, apart from preliminary measures, has not beon (--begun yet. . ��� Tien-Tsin dispatches, dated July ��� 30th, tell of an action which is \"termed a- \"reconnaissance .between the Japanese and Chinese,\" two miles beyond the Hsiku arsenal, in which the Japanese withdrew after suffering 30 casualties. The Tien-Tsin correspondent of the Standard, under date of July 27th, declares that the 'Americans and Germans have been ordered to move forward, without waiting for the British. A Che-Foo special, dated August 1st, announces tho safety of all Americans *in Pekin, and tho receipt of. a. letter from Dr. Chalt- man, dated.Pekin, July 20, saying that on the previous day sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, had agreed to a truce provided the Chinese came no closer,aud adding: \"We hope that this means relief, but having defeated the Chinese, we are fearfnl now of treachery. All are exhausted with constant watching, fighting and digging trenches.\" The Shang-Hai correspondent of 'the Daily News says the consuls there regret the independent action taken by the American association and China association, on the ground 'that it .is injudicious. He says: \"The settlements being ���' international, petty. ��� jealousies must' disappear. The, China association is of little local influence.\" '\"/Presumably he refers, to the American Asiatic Association., The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Express announces the'arrival from San Francisco-of Homer -,Lea, for..s_ometinie secret*, agent' in,, 'tht/ United States of th'e society - for the reformation of the Chinese Empire, with -��60,000, which will jAesumably be utilized in connection with the revolutionary movement against the.empress dowager, a ��� movement: quiescent since 1808 until within the last few weeks. ��� Nearly all the. correspondents : confirm the. reports of a wholesale massacre of Christians outside Pekin, a correspondent of the Daily News, giving the number of killed as between 10,000, and 15,000, all de- . fenseless converts. Imperial troops, so it is stated,- did the ghastly work. According to the Shang- Hai correspondent of the Times, one of the members of the tsung li 'yamen mentioned by United States consul Goodnow,as having been beheaded for pro-foreign tendencies, was Hsu Ching Clieng, former minister to Russia. Thecorrespondent^says^the^em^ press dowager ordered his, execution on the advice of Li. Ping Hen. Li Hung Chang has been informed from Pekin that prince Chin'gs' only prominent supporters in his peace policy are general Yung -Lu and Wang Wensha, president of the board of revenue whose influence is small. \" ��� BREEZE IN HOUSE OF LORDS Bosebery Got Warm. London. August 3. ��� Another breeze blew up in the house of lords 1 today, as the outcome of the debate' on Friday last, regarding the allegation that England was not invulnerable against an attempted invasion. Lord ��� ��� (Rosebery today somewhat testily \"' ��� resented the secretary of state \"for war, the marquis of Lansdowne, taking him to task for suggesting that the commander of, the forces, lord Wolseley, ought to come to the Jiouse and give his authority to the government's military plans. Lord Rosebery said he did not propose to tie snubbed in the discharge of what Sie considered a public duty. . . The marquis of Lansdowne, replying, said the war secretary was responsible to parliament, and the' oommander-in-chief was responsible to the war secretary. Other peers having spoken, the premier, lord Salisbury, arose and ��aid he understood lord Rosebery's contention was that the nation would be much more satisfied if lord Wolseley would come to the house and express his approval of lord Lansdowne's plans. It was obvious that if lord Wolseley could be called upon to do that he was also entitled to express disapproval. Lord Salisbury said he could not see how that was possible. There was much force in what lord Rosebery had said, but is was of an abstract kind. Tho subject was then dropped. L) HUNG CHANG IS TRICKY Secretary Hay Becomes Tired. Washington, August 3.���Another move was made today, in the diplomatic situation by the return of an evasive 'answer by Li Hung Chang, to secretary Hay's prempt- ory demand of August 1st. to be put in communication with the United States minister at\"Pekin. Li's answer is not final, and leaves the matter open diplomatically. Li's actions, as reported by consul- general Goodnow, are unquestionably sinister, and will amount to a final rejection of the American proposition if persisted in. Mr. Goodnow's dispatch contains some further information, bearing on the question of responsibility for Pekin conditions, in the, state-' ment that the commander of the Chinese troops, by inference answerable to the Chinese government, ordered the-Pao Ting massacre. It is learned here that Li Ping Hong,' the commander referred to, is a civil official and \"well known to all the Chinese officials abroad as one of the most rabid anti-foreign, leaders in China._ He is a close friend of prince Tuan, and the association of these two in Pekin affairs'with power'enough behind them\"to cause the ignominous death- of two high officials/ is'regarded' here as abad sign. General Chaffee's message. as to the unexpected-resistance' offered to the ..Japanese reconnoissan.ee is regarded by military men herejfis 'forecasting a greater'��� degree \"^of opposition to the international advance than had been anticipated. It appears that some misunderstanding exists as to a St. Petersburg dispatch printed here this morning, saying that the -��� Chinese , minister, there and his colleagues in Europe had cabled the governor of Shan Tung demanding free communication between the Pekin ��� ministers and their respective governments. This communication was, in fact, a joint memorial to the throne concurred -- in by all the Chinese ministers abroad, including Minister Wu in Washington. It was forwarded by minister Yong Lu at St. Petersburg because the latter is the dean of Chinese diplomatic service.' It was transmitted (through the governor of Shang Tung to be forwarded to Pekin. This action is considered -very-important,���as-indicating that- the Chinese ministers abroad have at last reached a unanimous conclusion that the situation is no longer to be trifled with. A dispatch from Shang-Hai states that Li Hung Chang is preparing a proclamation granting virtual amnesty to Boxers on condition that the cease creating disturbances. COMPANY HAS BEEN FORMED To Buiid Nicaragua Canal. New York, August 3.���John D. Crimmins, of; the syndicate formed to construct an inter-ocean canal through Nicaragua, through the Eyre-Cragin concession, the existence of which was proclaimed yesterday by president Zelaya, said today that the company, which had been organized under the laws of New Jersey, would proceed to carry but the letter of its contract without delay. The capital needed had been secured, and.if the estimates of cost made for the United States government be correct, $130,- 000,000, the canal could be built by his company for the same money, and probably for less. The route selected would be probably that\" hitherto called the Nicaragua. Bower Will Pay -the Damage.

CONVENTION'S WORK DONE Friday's Proceedings. The second annual convention of the associated boards of trade of Southern British Columbia concluded yesterday afternoon. The delegates concluded to have the next session of the association in Greenwood, one week after the legislature opens. The association was invited to meet in Grand Forks, Greenwood, Phoenix, r Fort Steele, Kaslo and Kamloops, but the balloting was divided between Greenwood and Kaslo, with a creditable majority in favor of the former point.'w \"* A delegation including E. Sprag- gett, Grand Forks, E. F. Haning- ton, Fort Steele, and J. Roderick Robertson, Nelson, was authorized to present the resolutions adopted by the association to the provincial ministers at Victoria. Another deputation, consisting of A. J. McMillan, Rossland, R. B. Kerr, Phoenix, Duncan Ross, Grand Forks, and J. R. Robertson,, Nelson,, was drafted to meet the proposed mining commission'should it be appointed by-the government. --.. The Boundary Bailway Project. The resolutions committee, which took in hand the preparation of a motion regarding the proposed railroad line from' Carson on the international line to Greenwood, reported with two resolutions, one representing the views of ,the majority and the second that of the minority. The foreman recited that as great expense is caused by the need of applying for a special charter for individual railway companies, the convention fayored'the passage of a general railway act on the lines of the present provincial tramway act, save that'there should be no restriction as to building to the international boundary.' The' minority resolution i,~was' moved by. Messrs. Ross and Cum- mings, and recommended the association, to* endorse'legislation by' which any railway, on complying with'proper conditions as, to expropriation vof^iland^-jetc^shall ''be- permitted to build a ^railway from any one point of the province to any other. The convention adopted the majority report of the committeel Roads and Trails Recommendation. At last year's meeting a resolution was passed recommending the legislature to place the expenditure on roads and trails under the charge of a board of commissioners elected by the people. A clause was added to this yesterday with the additional suggestion that the local board of commissioners should have power to allow claim owners to perform work on roads and trails under their supervision, and that the claim owners have the right to record such work as assessments upon their claims to an amount not exceeding $200 for any one claim. Redistribution Bill Demanded. The matter of the representation from the interior of the province in the legislature was dealt with as follows: Resolved���That whereas in the recent provincial election six Kootenay electoral districts polled more votes than the whole of Vancouver island with fourteen seats, and as the Boundary district is practically unrepresented, although at the recent election it polled; morevotes than any other whole constituency excepting Victoria, Vancouver, Rossland proper, and Nelson,' and many times the number polled by some constituencies with two members; That such gross inequalities are a scandal and an outrage. Be it ' Resolved���That this association petition the legislature to redistribute the constituencies, on an equitable .basis and further to pass a special ;act which will at once give the Boundary district at.least one member. London Office Approved. : The convention placed itself on; jrecordas strongly in .favor bf prop-, er representation for the province in London, England, in a resolution setting forth that as the gi-ant for this purpose is inadequate, the convention suggests th at the government should immediately place the the position of the agency in London On a more satisfactory basis by appropriating $25,000 annually for the purpose, arid urged that the agent-general, or a member of bis staff should have a general knowledge of the resources of the province and be specially qualified: to give information with regard to its mines and mineral -resources. Want Increased Lead Duties. In regard tov,the lead smelting trade, the following resolution was carried : Moved by - E. S. Topping and T. G. Procter, that this association recognize with approval the action of the Dominion government in granting the request of this association made at its last annual meeting for the^free re-admission into Canada, of .lead of Canadian origin smelted in Canada but refined abroad. And that this association reaffirm its decision of last year that import, duties on manufactured lead''should be'increased to a parity with^'the duties levied upon other lines j of. manufactured goods, and we askpartieularlyfthat, the duties^np'on^ry^white lead-now admitted at'5 per1 cent and litharge' now admitted [free be increased to a minimum rate of-20 per cent. We believe that this change would have. the effect^of providing a 'profitable home market for/about 7000 tons of lead used 'in^theSmanufacture of lead. '-���;?<- J. J. Campbell, {commercial manager of the Hall Mines, Limited, was invited to speak on the matter. He stated-that,^thej production of silver^lead bullion was of very great importance to the/province, as the raw material used in smelting, iron ore, lime rock, coal and coke, were all productions p'^panada and their cost largely ^represented ���, labor. With this, point established Mr. Campbell proceeded,! tt> tdetail the features of rtarjff,--\"etc.\",'-which' had' exercised an influence on the lead smelting industry, concluding by recommending;-the convention to take action along the lines of the resolution offered. ' 7* the/ 'approval of.' a supreme court judge, the amount of stock necessary to sanction the sale of the'assets of-the company being necessary to make the change valid. -��� Railway Matters Dealt With. J. M; Harper and H. G. Ashby offered a resolution committing the convention to urge the -freight officials of the C P. -R. to place the districts of Vernon and Kamloops on an equality with other districts in getting their products to the markets of the Kootenays. This was carried. Another railway proposition came up and was dealt with in the following terms: Resolved that the association desires to support any movement tending to the early construction of ���> a railway from a point on the Crow's Nest Pass rail- way near Sand Creek - in East_Koo^_ tenay, following the valleys of the Kootenay and Columbia rivers to a point ac or near the town of Golden. Improvement of Kettle River. The convention carried a resolution recommending the government to adjudicate on applications for charters under the Rivers and Streams Act without delay. The point was raised in connection with an applicationlfor . a charter to clean out the north fork of the Kettle river which has been hanging fire for a year. It was pointed out that the lumber to be made available by the opening of, this channel would result in a considerable revenue from stumpage to the government, and would also- give rise to an important industry at points where mills would be established on the river. R. B. Kerr of Phamix moved that the legislature take steps to compel its officials to be as prompt in the discharge of their duties as are clerks iri other lines of business, citing as an instance of dilatoriness a case in the iKamloops registry office. The resolution was adopted. 7 Monring Session. ,. When the convention opened yesterday morning at 10 o'clock the delegates, were confronted by an order sheet containing about 15 subjects. With the exception of two or three topics these were disposed of before the final adjournment. * Normal School Resolution.

Montreal, August S.���The first day's international race,\" for the Seawanhaka cup, between - the American challenger Minnesota, of the White Bear club, St. Paul, and the Canadian defender Red Coat, came off on lake St. Louis today, resulting in an easy victory for the Canadian boat by six minutes and twenty seconds. There was one inch difference in the length of the boats, the Red Coat measuring twenty-five feet seven inches, and the Minnesota twenty-five feet six inches. The Minnesota had the lighter crew, skipper Griggs and his men tipping the beam at (331 pounds, against 646 pounds for the Canadian crew. ' ���' ��� Skipper Duggan having won the toss, selected a triangular course for today's race, the distance being twelve miles, three times round. When the signal for a start was given at 1:30, there was a light north-westerly to westerly breeze blowing. Red Coat got oyer, the line first. Both boats stood on the, starboard tack, and it was soon apparent that Red Coat was drawing away from ' Minnesota. ��� Red' .Coat->'worked up, to r windward, the American boat makings , ^leeway,\\ ' and . constantly, luffing * to\" avoid the puffs. * The American \"boat seemed to be no match for the defender. The wind continued to come down the lake in puffs, aiid the Minnesota appeared to'be unable to carry her sail. The Red Coat turned . the first buoy of the first round at 1:48:48, Minnesota following 42 seconds later. Both boats then hoisted reaching jibs; They' reached very fast,-and the 'Minnesota commenced closing up the distance'. As\" they approached \"the second buoy it.was'a matterjjof doubt whether the* Red Coat could make very much1 mob\"e*6n;the>wind^ ward work'than the Americtm* ooat could\" on/the reaches. '^However; \"Red'Coat passed the \\buoy/with/a lead of 32 seconds. Oh ' the' way down before the wind Red Coat *sailed\"faster than ' before/and'Minnesota \"' gradually dropped' behind. Red Coat rounded the last- buoy of the first round at 2:02:30, Minnesota following 1 minute and 10 seconds later. ��� : . \" ��� ��� On the. first\" leg. of- the -second round Red 'Coat began taking in to the wind, while the Minnesota sagged off to the leeward. Her drift was,au'gmented by the carrying away of her peak, and for some time the boat pounded along with her mainsail flapping around in the wind. At last she was luffed up, and the peak taken up and relayed; and filled up again, but she had lost greatly, and rounded the first buoy of the second round 3 minutes and 42 seconds behind Red Coat. It was now evident that the Canadian was\" a certain winner. The American boat was very tender in the hard puffs, and ,appeared_to_bury_ herself in the water, and have difficulty in comiug to the wind quickly. On the reach after passing the buoy the American boat did not appear to do quite as well as before, and rounded the second buoy of second round 4 minutes 20 seconds behind Red Coat. The Canadian boat increased her lead to 5 minutes when she rounded the last buoy on the second round at 2:30:50. On the first leg of the last round Red Coat again showed superior work to windward, and passed the first buoy 5 minutes and 30 seconds ahead, and on the second leg, which was .a reaching one, she gained another minute and 12 seconds. The Minnesota, however, after turning the second buoy sailed down before the wind in fine style, and lessened the distance between the boats by 22 seconds. Red Coat crossed the finish line at 3.15.18, and Minnesota at 3.21.38. Following is the elapsed time: Red Coat, 1 hour, 45 minutes, 18 seconds ; Minnesota, 1 hour, 51 minutes, 38 seconds. Difference, 6 minutes, 20 seconds. /-After the race skipper Griggs of Minnesota stated that he had foolishly tried a new sail, and that tbe center board would have been much better set a foot and a half back. However, he intended to use the old sail tomorrow, and hoped for better luck, but they had been fairly beaten. ment, to stop the 'importation into \"the United-States from ..Canada, of undesirable immigrants. He will go to Boston early next week,' and from there will proceed to his destination, accompanied' by commissioner-general of immigration Powderly. The frequent charges of violation of the immigration laws have led the, government to take steps to have the subject investigated. ' __��� ., The Baptists Are All Right New York, August 3.���Rev.

Green, of Kaslo, today moved, a resolution, which though hot definitely stating '��� so, ^irges^the.governmenttobring-in-a- bill for compulsory arbitration of disputes which may arise between capital and labor. He * said one of his chief reasons for doing so was to prevent a re-occurrance of strikes, such as proved so disastrous last year to Kootenay mining, and especially in the Slocan country. It was not a political issue, he argued, and it was time something was done, as it was the only method to bring both parties to an agreement. Finance minister Turner said he had doubts of the efficiency of the method proposed, and did not think all labor unions agreed in Mr. Green's method. Ralph Smith, labor leader of Nanaimo, agreed that all unions did not accept the compulsory, arbitration principle. The matter was laid' over till Monday.

The occasion was seized by Mr. Schreiner to make a long and eloquent explanation of hi.s attitude throughout the war in South Africa. \"If I have been guilty,\" he exclaimed, \"regarding the insufficient colonial defences, the military authorities have been ten times more guilty. I delayed calling out the volunteers until the invasion of the colony compelled it. I was not aware at that time of the weakness of the imperial forces.\" He vigorously denied the existence of an Afrikander-, conspiracy, declaring that sympathy with the Boers did not mean disloyalty,v provided true allegiance was maintained.

OOM PAUL'S WEALTH. -Those who are in the habit of thinking of Mr.\" Kruger as a mere farmer may be surprised to hear that he is a millionaire at least once. How many times over that nice-round sum he has' accumulated in his savings it is impossible to say. To begin with, he has the handsome salary as \"president of seven thousand a year, together with a coffee allowance, which is supposed ���6r b/S * his \"entertaining\" money r of . thrco hundred a year. Being of a frugal turn of mind, Mr. Kruger has.for many years past lived on his coffee money, while out of his presidential salary and \"perquisites\" he-is believed to have succeeded in saving about thirty thousand a year. Over and above this Mr. Kruger hasi many indirect sources of income. J t has been shown that he has a very large interest in the Netherlands Railway, while he is also directly concerned iu. the. consumption of dynamite, as well as several.' other flourishing monopolies. Mr. Kruger owns farms in ���different parts of the Transvaal. Some are productive, others are not. For instance in the Rusten- burg district many of the best to-' bacco-growing farms are his, and tho lessees pay him very handsome . rents. ������ - His gold mining farms have also brought him in a goodly amount; a few he has sold to the hated Uitlander capitalists, others he retains or hopes to retain. Comparatively recently a farm he had held for some years was floated into a gold mining compauy, and although his name does not appear in the list of shareholders he received almost the. whole of the purchase price in cash. It is said that many of the Transvaal \" president's safest investments have .been made in Holland and Germany. He is likewise reported to .be a heavy holder of German consols and French rentes. : ^ Personally Mr, Kruger is not a . generous individual despite his great wealth. ^At the time��� of the dreadful dynamite explosion in Johannesburg a few\": years ;ago the Uitlander firms subscribed a magnificent/total not far ; short of eighty\"thousand pounds to^alleviatei \"the , distress of the families whose breadwinners were killed. All the victims were either, poor Boers,; natives or Chinamen; literally not one Englishman suffered. Mr. Kruger was asked for a. subscription and promised twenty-five pounds. His name was put' down on the:. subscription list .for that sum, biitj despite continual dunning on the part of the secretary, the subscription was never forthcoming. ;���:' _____1_____2^'' ��� \\': The Railway's Patriotism.

Fine looking/ agreeable, a brilliant conversationalist and sympathetic, her ladyship has been the leading spirit-of the English colony in the far east. Every European visitor was certain' of a cordial reception ? at thej British legation,and lady;MacDonald prided herself on being able'to1 give three, .yearly balls \"smacking of true western civilization.' ' Since ��� going to China lady MacDonald has-not found it entirely smooth sailing, but has had to resign herself with good-grace to'many-things.' No matter how rough or inconvenient a journey her husband undertakes, she invariably insists *on accompanying him.' ' She, enjoys 'the distinction-of having oeen the7'first European-lady .to travel in a-train from Tien-Tsin to'Pekin. Half the trip was done in a open truck. It was due to her initiative that the deputation of \"diplomatic ladies\"- was received by the Chinese empress. , It-seems that just before going to the palace prince Henry of Prussia asked\" lady MacDonald if there was anything he could do for her in the forbidden city. -Now,' her ladyship has always been consumed with curiosity to talk .with Tsou Hsi, so she accordingly jumped-at the opportunity of having her desire realized. The dowager empress' birthday was- approaching, and the ambassadress, knowing what-importance was attached to the date, asked prince Henry to request hei majesty's' permission to receive the deputation of ladies who wished to present an address to her. Prince Henry succeeded, and this unique reception was accorded to~th!Tlaliies7~By\"her second riage lady Macdonald has mar- two charming little daughters, Ivy and Stella. \" The latter first saw light in a Buddhist temple. THE KLONDIKE YIELD. ���'The' far-reaching changes now being wrought in the development of the Klondyke district mean that within the very near future supplies will be taken in during the winter and the bulk of the mining done in the summer. . Colonel! A. C. Bowie, one ;of the heaviest operators in the north thus summarizes^ the outlook. 7 ' Cheaper supplies, better transportation facilities, as regards reaching -the mines from Dawson, lower wages and more capital are' the things most needed, and all are coming. With these, hundreds of mines now idle can be worked a* �� profit. Machinery, it is true, is revolutionizing the country, but wages are still high; And supplies are not as cheap as has been represented. Neither are ^materially cheaper than they were last year. Labor-at the mines receives from 80 cents to $1.50 per hour. The latter figure, of course, is only paid skilled miners.: 7.0.f7l��- ;.'��� .'.'7'.-'-'-77 But'' the -future of the Klondike is most promising. The mines will be long lived.' . They cannot be worked out in five years and it would not surprise me to see much gold being taken Out of the district ten years hence. It is hard to figure on the life of the camp, but the end is not in sight. This year we were greatly handi capped by lack of water. And at that the output* is enormous! It will be between;* $18,000,000 and $20,000,000. There is a lot of summer work going on. And the time is coming when the bulk of the mining will be/done between April 1st and September 15th. They will take in their supplies in the winter and jmine during the spring and summer. Common laborers-are to be hadat $3 per day now at White Horse, \"while but '850 miles farther down- the-Yukom $8 and $10* are paid. This condition of affairs -will not last long. ���> The White Pass>& Yukon has its road in operation -to White Horse and this will solve the Yukon transportation problem. It will, then be' no task to reach Dawson. The completion, of this road will bring lively competition as regards the sale of commodities. Vsr , - The lack of good roads leading from Dawson,.to the creeks has greatly, retarded-the development of .the, district.j7There is but one road in all the camp. That extends from Dawson to\" Dominion, a distance of about thirty-five miles. The highway is owned by the government. Why, there is not a good road from Dawson to the Forks, a point where Eldorado empties into Bonanza. ���. ��� ���\" 'Jt The cleanup of the Klondike will not be completed until late in September. v :��� ' With cheaper labor and improved machinery many., of the claims in the Klondike will be reworked-and at a big' profit. They were ' first worked with, a royalty and high- priced labor. Their owners wanted quick returns, so. did not by any means get out all of the gold they contained.\" ��� LABOR IS SCARCE. Sydney, N. S��� Aug! 2.���Labor is having its innings in thi3 section of the province.- There are none searching for work-bnt the colliers are kept busy searching for men. The Cape Breton Coal Company is unable to supply the demand made upon jthem for coal. The pits are working to their \"fullest extent. Night and day the_rush is_kept_on,_ and still the demand is not supplied. The scarcity of labor is what hampers the production of coal. Men are not so anxious to work in the pit as they used to be. Other and more congenial employment can be procured, with good remuneration. The construction of steel works at Sydney has absorbed all the surplus labor that could be had, and mine managers have been compelled to take men from the pits in order to carry on the work which was necessary on the surface. Never before was tbe Dominion Coal Company compelled to;' advertise, for coal cutters until this year and even then they cannot get all they want. High wages are offered but still this does not bring about the desired relief. It is reported that for the next year the dearth of labor will continue. Extensive operations will be going on at North Sydney and this will tend to -continue the scarcity in the supply of labor, and thus reduce the output of coal. Britain and America- Will Lead. -'���' London, August 3.���The Vienna correspondent of .the Times says : \"The Neue Prei Expresse greets the decision of the British and American governments, to advance to Pekin, with the greatest satisfaction, believes theresolution of these two powers will put an end to the paralysis occasioned by the unsolved question of > the :chief-in-comraand, and will inspire the ' combined forces with fresh*-life and vigor.
