He had found in the East a feeling of unrest among investors in consequence of the unstable government of the _province, but had told them that nearly every elector was prepared to do his duty and vote for stable government. He told of the. evi- dences of development and pros- perity he observed while passing through Manitoba and Eastern Can- ada and said that here we must have the same thing. He had been represented as the deadly enemy of the workingmen, but what had his opponents done for the workingmen? (A voice: “Nothing.”) He had asked the chairman to invite Mr. Martin. and Mr. Curtis to meet him on the plat- form on‘Monday evening, when he would controvert their statements. From now on, this meant fight; there would be no slack-up, no let- up, for they represented the future of the province.

Kitch- ener gazed sternly at her, standing bravely though. tearfully there, and turned to his military secretary and suid: =‘ ‘Put down that the commander's orders with reference to the destruc- tion of Rightman’s farm could not be carried out owing to unexpected opposition.

General Buller’s march, subsequent to the attack, was carried out with- outa hitch. The British are still pushing on.” _ - Buller Will Take Dundee London, May 14.—A dispatch re- ceived by the Associated Press from Pietermaritzburg, Natal, timed 12:05 p. m, today, brings the first intima- tion of success attained by’ General Buller in northern Natal. The sender of this dispatch evidently as- sumes 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 the Biggar- burg, received here an hour ago, has given: satisfaction. It is con- fidently 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 home.” Boer.Position Taken by Ansault. At about the time this message was received, another dispatch came to the Associated Press,dated Stone, Hilt farm, 8:20 this morning.

At the same time a dispatch from Capetown, dated to- day, says a proclamation will . be published this week annexing the Orange Free State.

Ex-Speaker Higgins has issued an address to the electors of Esqui- malt in which he comes out in opposition to the government and opposes provincial ownership of railways. Plan of op Recent British scouting in the direction of Dundee has shown that the tederals were in great force in the Biggarsburg. So, apparently, General Buller concluded that. it was necessary to clear them from his rear before commencing a move- ment in the direction of the .Drak- ensberg range. If that is his plan, he has possibly divided his force, sending one column eastward to threaten Vryheid and Utrecht and today, declined to divulge Lord Robert’s plan for the relief of Mafeking, but added significantly that he hoped they would shortly be accomplished. | Melibron Now the Capltat.

The excursion train took nearly 200 Rosslanders to the basebal: game at Nelson yesterday ‘and, though the Rossland colors. went down in defeat, the game was well contested and the changes of for- + tune were sufficient to sustain in- terest among the 700 to 800 spec- tators. © The ‘Rossland battery was: first class and the batting was good, but Nelson had a good all-round team, its field-work offsetting the Ross- land.batting and its catching being very good. ‘ The game started favorably to Rossland and at -the fourth inning | - the score stood 3 to oin favor of. the visitors. Then several mis- plays turned the tide and the game- ended with a score of 8 to 5 in favor of Nelson. Burkin and Ward were the umpires and F. E. Arm- strong kept the score. ©.
