FAREWELL T0 CANADA The Duke of York’s Grateful Ac= "" knowledgment. A dospatch from Halifax, N. S”: \sayszâ€"The following farewell address‘ to the citizens of Cmmdu was issued’ late on Sunday night by the Duke of York "H.M.S. Ophir. at Halifax. Nova Scotiu, October 19th, 1901. "Dear Lord 1\‘IinLo,â€"Beforc leaving Canada. I am anxious to make known through you with what regret, the Duchess and I hid farewell to a poo- 010 who, by their warm hem-Liness and cordiality. have made us feel at home amongst 1110111 from the first moment of our arrival on their shores. "I should like particularly to ex- press our gratitude for the generous feeling which has promoted all clas- ses to contribute towards that, hearâ€" ty and allectionute welcome which We have met with. This has been so strikingly shown. not only in the de- meanor of the crowds and the gener- al manifestations of rejoicing with which we have been greeted, but also by the trouble and ingenuity displayâ€" ed in the illuminationr; and street, de- corations carried out with such cou- spicuous taste and success by private persons, as well as by the Governâ€" ment and local authorities. “We are greatly touched to find in the smallest. and most remote places through which we pqssed what. great efTorts have been made by the inhabâ€" itants to manifest their kindly feel- ings towards us. "I recognize all this as a proof of the strong personal loyalty to the throne, as well as a declaration of the deepâ€"seated devotion on the part of the people of Canada to that un- ity of the Empire of which the Crown is the symbol. We wish to record our sincere thanks to the Dominion Government, the Provincial authoriâ€" ties, the municipal bodies, and pri- vate individuals, for their generous hospitality, their kind forethought, and the extreme care and trouble they have bestowed upon all the ar- rangements for the reception and ac- commodation of ourselves and our staff. I feel that “‘0 are specially in- debted _to Mr. Pope, by whom much of the detail was ably dealt with. "Short :15 unfortunately our stay in Canada. had to be. it was sufficient for us to understand something of its boundless possibilities, and the scope which it, afiords to those who, with a, spirit of enterprise, determinaâ€" tion and willingness to Work. desire to seek a wider, less crowded, and richer field than that offered by tho congested industries and professions of the Mother Country. "Wherever We have been the policeI duties "were admirably carried out} We Wish to express our special oblis gation to the Commissioner of the‘ Dominion Police and other officials' for the excellent manner in which they have discharged the important," responsibilities devolving upon them. i “I trust that; these possibilities may be. taken advantage of in the future, and that Suitable emigration from the Mother Country may Come in large numbers. At Calgary we witnessed a. large and xepresentative gathering of Indians. Then and on other occasions addresses were pre- sented from different tribes. I was glad to hear of the progress they have made. and the contentment in which they live under the arrange- ments made for their benefit by the Dominion Government. "To the authorities of the Grand Trunk and Intercoloniul Railways also our special thanks are due for all trouble and consideration which they devoted to providing for the part of our journey which lay over their lines and for the oiliciency and success with which all the services were performed. “One of the most important feaâ€" tures of our visit was the enormous distance traversed by rail, and we feel a difficulty in adequately thank- ing the Dominion Government for all that was organized and most ef- fectively carried out for our railway journeys. The train built. especially for the occasion by the Canadian Paâ€" cific Railway was a. marvel of con- venience and comfort, and nothing seems to have been forgotten which might tend to reduce the fatigue in- separable from such a long journey. Special facilities were afforded to enable us to see the most striking points of interest in the vast regions of magnificent scenery through which we passed. while we received every possible attention and considâ€" eration from the officials of the com- pany. "We hope that the public did not sun‘er ob account of the special ar- rangements made for our travelling, which perhaps neces‘sitatcd some inâ€" terference with the general traffic. "I am especially anxious to record my appreciation of that splendid force, the North-West Mounth Po- lice. I had the pleasure of inspect- ing a. portion of the corps at Cal- gary, and was much struck with the smart appearance of both men and horses, and with their general steadâ€" iness on parade. They furnished es- corts throughout, our stay in Cana- da. frequently horsed our carriages, and found the transport, all of APPRECIATION 0F MOUNTED POLICE. l “The reviews which were held at, Quebec. Toronto, and Halifax en- ;abled me to judge of the military caâ€" pacity of the Dominion, and of the splendid material at, its disposal. iMnny of the corps showed smartness {and soldierâ€"like hearing I was glad ‘to [ind that a field hospital organiâ€" antion has recently been provided, as [well as 21 company of engineers. | "Every country now recognizes [the necessity of securing the greatest, {possible military efficiency in return ‘for its outlay on defence, and that Lthe material at hand should not be isacrificed for the lack of adequate ,training and leading, which can best ibe insured by a fully qualified stall. ‘gI was delighted to have the oppor- tunity of presenting a large number of medals to officers and men for services in South Africa, and it was; 'most gratifying to see with what enthusiasm they were welcomed by their fellow citizens. V "It Wits a great, pleasure to us to .be accompanied throughout our tour Iby the distinguished Prime Minister lof the. Dominion ; as this must have 'been done at a great personal inâ€" convenience, We are all the more grateful to Sir Wilfrid Laurier for ihis valuable help and companiom _ship. which duties were pm ready willingness and creditable manner. “The revich which "I was much interested in our vis- it to the Royal Military College at Kingston to see what excellent proâ€" vision the Dominion Government, has made available for the preliminary military education of its militia of- ficers. l "Our hearts are full at saying farewell. We feel that we have made many friends in all parts of lthe Doâ€" minion. and that. we owe and gladly extend to its people our sincere friendship and good wishes. May the ‘aflectionate regards which all races land classes have so generally shown ius knit together the peoples of Canâ€" ’adu, and strengthen the existin‘g ties that unite the Empire. “Believe me, dear Lord Minto, "Very sincerely yours, (Signed) "GEORGE." “And. finally. to Lady Minto and yourself we Wish to express our most sincere thanks for the unfailing kindness and generous hospitality which we have received as your guests, and also for the great pleaâ€" sure and valuable assistance that we realized in the presence of either Lady Minto, or both of your Excel- lencies, during our long journey. “I am further anxious to record my thanks to Major Maude for the efficient manner in which he and the rest of your stall dealt with the exâ€" ceptionally heavy and anxious work, and overcome the numerous difficul- ties connected with our tour, and for all they have done to help me and my own staff. “We wish it had been possible to remain longer in Canada, and by availing ourselves of the many presâ€" sing invitations received from difleru ent centres to become acquainted more intimately with its various districts and their people, but We have seen enough to carry away im- perishable memories of affectionate and loyal hearts, frank and indeâ€" pendent natures, prosperous and progressive communities, boundless protective territories, glorious scen- ery, stupendous works of nature, a people and a. country proud of its membership of the Empire, and in which the Empire finds one of its brightest offspring. A despatch from London says :â€" The capture of General ‘Botha, is now Lord Kitchener’s chief objective point. The despatches are most con- fusing, representing him one day as heading northward and the next as doubling back southward. The na- tural explanation is that, after his retirement to Waklgerstroom he learned thth the British columns were pressing upon him from Vii~ rious directions. and broke up his force_into small bands, which are moving north. south, and West. The British pursuit of Botha's transport has been unsuccessful, and while a large force has been concentrated in the Wukkerstroom district. the pros- pect of making a large capture of Botlm’s men is unpromising. Diâ€" versions in other districts for the relief of Bothu have been looked for, but there is no definite information. Delm‘ey and Kemp have crossed the Vaal into the Orange River Colony for this objOCt, but. no British reâ€" verse has been reported. De Wet, and Steyn are not mentioned in any despatches. The Boer bands in Cape Colony are acting independently and with inâ€" creasing audacity. for they have been perilously near Cape Towu, but they seem incapable of serious lighting, and exhaust, their resources in loot- ing. No reprisals for the drastic British methods of dealing with trea- son in Cape Colony have been rm ported. The Chang“ of policy was well timed, since til.

DAWN SUICIDES A despatch from Winnipeg says:â€" Nicholus Flood Davin, exâ€"M.P. for Regina. committed suicide at the Clarendon hotel at, 4:30 0’610ck on Friday afternoon by shooting him- self. The act seems to have been most premeditated. Failing in his attempt. to purchase a revolver at. one store he went into another and succeeded in obtaining one. Then he entered his room for the last, time. Min Davin came to Winnipeg October 9, ostensibly in connection with some legal business. Since then he has appeared. very depressed. On Monday afternoon he sat, for a While in the billiard room of the Claren- don liotel, where he was talking to himself. DOUG HT THE REVOLVER. About noon he went into J. II. Ashdown's and purchased a revolver and box of cartridges for $4. He took them away with him, and shortly after two o'clock turnerl up again with the Weapon. One of the chambers was clogged, and he had been unable to work the extractor, hence he had brought it back to obâ€" tain assistance in firing. Mr. Lindâ€" say, the clerk, noticed at that time he was acting very strangely, and consequently,/after fixing the revol- ver, drew back, just as if he was about to hand it over and gave him the money instead. Mr. Davin, however. was not deterred by this. He passed‘ an hour or two driving around the town in a hack, then he visited the store of the Mess-rs Bas- kerie, and here secured another re- volver. Safely stowing the Weapon away in his pocket he went about much as usual. It was a little after 2:30 that he dropped into the Queen’s hotel. From the Queen's he passed on to another hotel and then to the Clarendon, telling the hack- man to Wait {or him and take him to the station on his way to Regina. ‘He then went straight to his room. Twenty minutes later a boy was sent up after him with a letter from Regina, which had just arrived. The lad knocked at the door, and in reâ€" ply to the usual question entered the room and handed the letter in. Mr. Davin was at this time sitting at the table apparently not doing anyâ€" thing. He said nothing, but taking the letter turned and seemed as though about to read it, When the boy went out. The hotel portcr, John Baird, had orders to fetch Mr. Davin‘s bagâ€" gage from his room, and was actual- apple barrels, sugar barrels, baskets and boxes. (‘rood' apples, Well pack- ed are selling at $2.50 to $3.50 per bbl, the latter price for fine apples suitable for table. Sugar bbls are selling at about the same price but not so readin because not so attrac- tive as Well packed fruit. Baskets are selling at; 20 to 350 per basket. Toronto will be able to take care of all the apples sent to her market, and the Dawson Commission Co. think that prices will average as well as any other market at home or abroad, during the season. Pears are still meeting good sale at $2.75 to $3.50 per bbl and 20 to 40c per basket. Peaches are about done.

The market; was dull‘and uninter- esting; prices for cattle were down; the market at, Montreal was off color and cable advices continue depreSA sing, all of which adverse circumâ€" stances reflected here. The export, trade was light; the best price to-day was $4.75 per cwt. Stockcrs are quotany unchanged, but certainly not any stronger. Feeders are in fair demand at steady unchanged prices.

He did not hear anything, but on reaching the room found the door locked, and not beâ€" ing able to obtain any answer to his repeated knocks, he climbed in through Lhc aperture which should have been occupled by the skylight, and unlocked the door. FOUND THE DEAD BODY. As soon as he got high enough to look in, he saw the body of the un- fortunate mam lying on the bed. IIis right, leg was completely on the bed. but his left hung over, us though he had fallen carelessly. Ho lay there on his back peacefully, and not disfigured. The porter was too horrified by What he had seen to make a close OXLLnl" ination at that time, but hurrying down, he told the clerk at the desk. what he had seen. and together they Went back again. A cursory exam- ination showed that, nothing could‘ be done. Mr. Davin was unmistak- ably dead, and accordingly the two men turned away, and. locking the door carefully behind them, went down stairs to telephone the news to the polize and secure the services of a. doctor. Dr. MacDonell was within 10 minutes on the scene. Ho was too late to do more. however, than fonnztlly announce that life was extinct. It was with the arrival of the doctor, and the almost simul- of the doctor, and the almost simul- taneous appearance on the scene oi Detective Leitch. representing the police, that the first examination oi the body was made. Boers’ Unsuccessful Attack on a \ Convoy. I A despatch from Bloemfontein says :â€"On Saturday a steam convoy left here for Dewetsrlorp with 120 [tons of supplies for the Dogliesmith column, escorted by 120 'of the Scots Guards, commanded by Major Mac- Gregor. \\ hen it reached Lequ kop 'it was attacked by 200 Boers, who held a position on a hill. The tlght~ ing lasted all day Sunday until 'dusk. The Boers deczunped during lthe night, leaving twenty of their dead behind them. The British casu- IalLies were eleven slightly wounded. “The convoy delivered the supplies at ! ‘vewetsdorp and returned withouz Jiurther trouble. It was apparent from the appear- ance of the body that the demented man must have placed the muzzle of the revolver in his mouth. and fired directly upwards. There Was no Sign of a. wound on the face or head. which looked as in life, only in- finitely more peaceful. The only Sign. of the tragedy was the still lifeless body lying there: on the bed, and the clothes saturated in blood. A close examination of the room followed, and the box of Cartridges was found on the table, with one missing. The revolver itself was tight, clenched in his hzmd as though he had shot. standing. and fallen to the bed still grasping the weapon. with which he (lid the dreadful deed. So far as can be ascertained he left no letters of any kind, but his friends have noticed that ever since his defeat at the last election he had been despondent. There is a. steady demand for a better class of calves than is coming along at present. Small stuff was steadier to-day. Export ewes are worth from $3 to $315 per cwt. Hogs.
