PAREWELL 10 CANADIANS. murmur rum-l Lord Roberts Says Their Conduct Will Never be Forgotten by Country or Queen. A despatch from Pretoria,says:â€" Gen. Roberts, in the presence of Lady Roberts, and his daughters, inspected nix companies of the Canadian regi- ment, who were on their way home after a year‘s service in South Africa. Crowds were present, and the men, who are in excellent health, makinga splendid appearance. the scene was a brilliant one. After the march past, Gen. Roberts addressed the troops. He said:â€" "I cannot allow you to depart with.- out expressing my thanks for and appreciation of your loyal services and excellent work, especially at Paarde- berg, on February 27. I am sure the people of Canada will be pleased to hear how gallantly and how splendidly you have all behaved in action. Wificiirâ€"Ein‘uv’iiciissé.REAGH HAM Lord Roberts Forblds Their Sale in South Africa. A despatch from Cape Town says ;â€" A fortnight ago the Cape Times drew attention to the scandals arising out of the sale of army horses con- demned as unfit for further service in the field. Once out of the con- trol of the service officers the nags were bought for a mere song by hawkers, crammed into trucks, hur- ried to Cape Town, enduring careless and inhuman treatment on the road, and tlhen resold. It was the inten- tion of the transport officers that the animals should be nursed and fed back to health, but instead of; this a system of gross cruelty sprang into existence, so that the dealers might profit. 0n learning the facts stated by the Cape Times, Lord Roberts has is- sued an order forbidding the sale of army horses in any part of the col- onies. For this kindly deed he has received the gratitude of all humani- tarians. â€"_‘_ BRITAIN'S REPLY. She Declines to Agree to the Terms of the German Note. A despatch from London, says :â€"The British; Premier's decision to refuse to agree to the terms of the German note was communicated verbally to the German Ambassador here, Count von Hatzfeldt-Wildenburg, during a long interview this afternoon. Only sfew officials are cognizant of ‘what Lord Salisbury said to Count von Eatzfeldt-Wildenburg in regard to the latest development in the Chin- ese question. Official circles here were inclined to believe that his Lord- Iih‘ip would agree with Germany. In- stead: of doing so he used almost ex- Iotly the terms in which \Vashington’s refusal was couched, and this, said a high official to a representative of the Associated Press, “is all the more surprising, considering that the Wash- ington officials had not the slightest Inkling of what England’s attitude would he." _._.____ BOERS SUPPER HEAVILY. , Mine Was Exploded in Their Midst, Killing Many. A despatch from London, says;â€" Under date of Pretoria, Sept. :28, Lord Roberts reports that the Boers suffered more severely" in the action at Picnnar’s river station than he had previously thought. He says;â€" “Believing that the post was weak- ly held, they advanced boldly to with- in 200 yards of our advanced trenches. when they came under the fire of two mountain guns. The explosion of a min-c, of the existence of which they were ignorant, killed several. "l’ole-Carew reports that he parad- ed the troops at Komatipoort in hon- our of the King of Portugal’s birth- day. The men presented arms to the Portuguese flag." Lord Roberts adds that be teleâ€" graphed congratulations to King Carlos I. from the British army. _._‘ TO TRAVEL warseur com. Otherwise Dutch Warships Will Nor Save Kruger. A despatch from London. says:â€" Great Britain has sent a note to the DutchI Government, according to a (lespatcll from Amsterdam to the Daily M-iil, which contains a warning that if Mr. Kruger is allowed to carry bul- lion or State archives on board the Dutch‘ warship which is to bring him to Europe, it will be regarded asa breach of neutrality on the part of the Netherlands. "Deeply I regret the losses you havci suffered. I should have been happier if you had returned in your full strength. The regiment hadhad 100 killed or wounded; but no one could expect you to pass through so arduous a campaign without losses. "1 am sorry that some of you are obliged to return sooner than the _rest of the regiment, but I recognize the urgency of private affairs. I am .confident' that the Queen and British l people will never forget your services. If, it should ever be my good fortune to visit Canada, I hope to meet you all again." After the troops had given cheers for the Queen and the Field Marshal, the latter shook hands with the Cana- dian officers and presented themone by one to Lady Roberts. ruin. 24. CANADIANS EXPECTED TO SAIL DIRECT TO CANADA. \Von lmpvrlal ('olnmlsslnms -» ('ol. Olll'l' Cable-s ’l‘llnl. LI. Laylmrn and Pie. (‘nmpbcll Il'lnvr Bren Honoured. A dcspatch from Ottawa, says;â€" The following message from Lord Roberts, dated Pretoria, was re- ceived wt the Militia Department. "12I18â€"Id.oko with first portion of Canadian Regiment should reach Halifax about October 24th. Signed, "ROBERTS." There is no steamer Idloko in the Royal navy list, or the registry of British merchant shipping. It is thought that the cable refers to the steamer Idaho, 4,100 tons, belonging to the \Vilson line of Hull. The inference from Lord Roiberts’ message is that the men who are returning will come direct to Halifax. Another cable mesâ€" sage received at the Militia Departâ€" ment toâ€"day, announces that Lieut. S. P. Layborn, of the R.C.R.I., who has been serving with the second batta- lion in South Africa, has been grant- ed a commission in the 21st Lancers. Pte. R. 13. Campbell, of the Second Battalion, who joined from Nelson, B.C., has received a lieu‘tenancy in the Duke of Connwali’s Light Infan~ try. â€"+__.

A despatch from Pretoria says:â€" Many of the Boers, it is known, were armed with Martini-Henri rifles. 11 is quite possible that they have been armed for some time wita this weapâ€" on, but, at the same time, information has come to hand from trustworthy sources that on the evacuation of Zeerust, on August 8 a large num- ber ocf Martini-Henri rifles and amâ€" munition were, owing to carelessness on the part of the commissioners or whoever was responsible for them, left behind in the Landdrost's office, where they had been stored. â€"* TROUBLE IN tel-LI.

It whs not on account of her husband, whom she loved dearly. l The house in which the tragedy oc- curred was one of the very first built in this city.
