It seemed so inconceivable that, after so. skilfully cornering General White at Ladysmith and holding General Builer south of the Tugela, the Boers should have blunderingly left the way open for the British forces to cross higher up the river, ‘that the ‘suspicion arose that they had: purposely led them into -a trap. But it'is now twelve days since the which could -be. spared from the siege of Ladysmith was occupied in holding the entrenchments: north of the Tugela i in the:vicinity of Colen- that point. while.his main force was marching ‘wéstward to” cross the river at the undefended © Potgieters drift‘and at Springfield. —_Either the Boers were fooled ‘by: Buller’s feint, and the latter’s force had gaine ! in mobility: to. ‘such an’ ‘extent that they could not reach the “real ‘point © of danger in time to resist his passage after they. had, discovered it,, or they had - som ieépelai which has not yee come?'to light. This should: have ‘developed ere now, unless it has, “already: been foiled by the fwary tactics ofGendral Warren, who has fought and whipped the:Boers before. The lat- ter has fought his way to the main mountain ridge nortl of the, tiver: and is confronted only by.a’ “sleader: hostile force with “little © artillery. Pr on Bupwaed fram ‘40 cents to. $1.90 per cord,-granting a rebate of $1.50 per cord on all pulpwood manufac- tured into paper in the province. The Hamilton Herald: proposes a similar tax in Ontario, not only on pulpwood, but on nickel ore, with a rebate for all ore refined in Ontario. If Ontario and. Quebec can thus adopt protective measures, why cannot British Columbia do the same with regard to the smelting .of ore within the province? EDITORIAL NOTES. There is evidence that the flow of immigration toward Canada’ has fairly set in. The number of home- stead-entries made in- the Regina Office, according to the Leader, was 189 in 1895 and 173 in 1896. In 1898 the number waS 502, and ia her with the quotati Hoss)and Sales.

All. the Boer triumphs and Britislr reverses have not persuaded” the United States _army officers that there is a great general fighting the battles of the Trarisvaal.. A United. States officer writing to the New York Times in- sists that if the Boers had been led by amilitary genius like Andrew Jackson, he would haye' taken ~ ad- vantage of their strength. and Brit- ish weakness at the ‘start to have swept over Natal like a cyclone,and to have wrapped Cape Colony in the flames of a rebellion among the Cape Dutch.’ The Boers had great advantages at the start, and_ they accomplished little with all these advantages. The unobstructed ad- vance of Buller may have been due to the same sort of incapacity as. the unobstructed -retirement of Yule; when a handful of Boers well placed in a difficult country could ‘have cut down or captured an entire British force of 3000 men from Glencoe. * With Buller’s army streaming: northward towards Ladysmith and with General: White's force. in: that town, the Boers may have to finda way of preventing themselves. ‘from being closed in between. two hostile forces of equal or superior numbers. Buller has learned cunning from his enemy and may yet gloriously re- trieve the reputation which ‘suffered s0 severely from the disaster at Co- leaso, é ~ pai in the retreat favor of letting him in‘ and kicking him out afterwards.” much comfort to Roberts. —_—_—_ - Utterly Lost.
