Look about the store When Driscoll's main force returned the Boers scattered. The Boers had five killed and many wounded. Eight prisoners were taken. A commando of 400 men under Charles Niewhoudt, Munikhertzog, Pretorius and Thaennis- sen, is now hovering in the Faire smith district, This force is beng looked after by Weston's, Hamilton's and Driscoll's columns. While a fight was proceeding Christmas day between the British under briscoll and a Boer force under MHertzog, commandant Niewhoudt, with 250 men watched the operations from the top of Henen weer's Kop, near Fauresmith.

Mr. McLean says he will serve the people in both capacities (hat if he finds he cannot do this he will let his seat in the commons go. As a reason for remaining in parla ment he alleges ; "There is coming forward this ses sion at Ottawa, and notice of the bill has already been given, that the peo- ple who own the Bell Telephone mon- opoly in Montreal, are about to ask for powers creating them into a new and powerful corporation for control ling and owning the ducts or tunnels under our streets for the carrying of all kinds of wires. In other words they propose' to create an immense monopoly throughout Canada, having a {ranchise in every city controlling the tunnels under the streets through which all electric wires are run, I do pot know of a more menacing [ropo- sition to the municipalities of this country than the one involved in this proposed legislation, and as mayor of this city, or in any way connected with the government of this city, 1 will oppose any private corporation getting codtrol and possession of the streets of our cities for this purpose." That is & subject which legitimately belongs to the municipal associations, and to which they should give their prompt attention. They should de mand that parliement shall not give to any comp.ny or syndicate the con teol of the highways. The council only should have this. The prerogatives al- reedy given to the corporations by tha legislature involve surtenders which never should have taken place. The Quebec legislature last session gave a private company in Montreal the right to dig up and destroy the streets at pleasure, and it ia this right which it is proposed to extend and make general. Mr. McLean's note of warning comes in the right time, and it cannot be ignored. ------ EDITORIAL TOPICS. Lord Rosebery is not disposed to join the liberal parity under Banner- {4 man.

The boats are known as light-draft, tunnel, boats, and small vessels may be so constructed as to be able to carry forty to sixty tons of freight, with a maximum draft of two feet six inches, and a speed of from ten to fifteen miles an hour. Thé priacipal points of superiority of the new boats over the style now in use are their light draft, which will enable them to navi gnte many rivers now closed to the deeper draft boats, their peculiar econ- struction, which permits the handling of cargoes over thegstern, thus elimi nating the backing 'and turning neces sary with the boats now in use, the great saving of coal, and the recuced cost of construction.
