“ Our Boys." In addition to the promised treat in store, the proceeds of the entertainment; will be devoted to one of the most worthy of objects, viz.. the Red Cross Society. The pr0« ceedings will be under most dis- tinguished patronage both, Conserv- ativesand Liberals having promised their presence and patronage. Amongst- others the following have allowed their names to be used: N. Clarke \Vulluce. M. P.; “1'. F. Muc- lean. M. P. ; W. J. Hill, M. P. P. ; J. ‘V.

Kipling’s “ Absent Minded Beggar" will find a place on the programme, and those desirousof conâ€" tributing more than the admission fee will have the opportunity of doing so, ,and in this manner contribute to the most worthy object for which the en- .ortaiument has been projected.

P. for West York, ‘We call the attention of the readers of THE LIBERAL no the advent of the Eglinton Dramatic Club at Thoruhill on the evening of Saturday, Feb’y 24. The Egiintun Thespiims have already given abundant, proof 0f the dramatic .abilit-y. and will' on this occasion, pre- sent Bvx-uuԤ well knpwu comedy, “ n ix The dispatches this morning in- .dicate that the British have recently achieved some brilliant successes. The War Office reports that Generals French and Gordon have captured five Boer Laagers, that the Free State has been invaded, and that a flanking movement is in progress. Lord Roberts appears to be conduct- ing the campaign. Some severe fighting has been done during the past week in South Africa, but there is little change in the state of affairs. General Buller ag‘tin crossed the Tugela river, but was afterwards forced to retire as he found the position could not be made serviceable for advanee operations. The Boers are stubbornly contesting every step of the way, and the re- lief of Ladysmith is found to be a most difficult task. The Dominion Government was not long in implementing its promise to provide for the contingents in a manner worthy of the country. One of the first matters of public interest to come before the House is a resolu- tion appropriating the sum of $2,000,- 000 for that purpose. Of this amount $850,000 has been already spent in sending out the first and second con- tingents, and the balance, $1,150,000 '38 to be used in defraying further ex- penses incurred in the same connec- tion, and for providing a fund out of which separation allowances will be paid to the wives and children of the married officers and men. This fund will also make provision for the Can» adian soldiers to be paid the differ- ence between the imperial rate, and the rate they would receive under Canadian regulations. The trade returns between Cana- da. and the Old Country for the first month of the present year are excep- tionally gratifying, for the increases in the principal lines of export are in excess of anv previous month. The increase in the value of Wheat ini- ported from (‘anada is $500,000; of 'bacon, $190,000; cattle, $165,000; flour $115,000; oats, $65,000; lumâ€" ber, $60,000; fish and timber, $30,- 000 each; cheese and hams, $20,000 each; and eggs, $10,000; or a total increase in these articles of over $1,- 200,000. As an offset against this there is a. small increase in sheep and horses, peas, corn, butter and pulp. But the total decreases are less than $200,000, making a. net increase for the month of considerably over $1, 000,000. British imports into Cana- da. also show a general increase especially in woollens, carpets, and metal materials. RICHMOND HILL. February 15, 1900 Changeâ€"H. C. Bailey.
