ONE RECRUIT SWORN IN. Peace Probabilities Put Dampener on Recruiting. The probability of 'peace in South Africa has evidently put a dampener on recruiting for the third Canadian mounted rifles, at least as far as this city is concerned, Only three or four applicants were at the armiouries, to- day, and but one man passed the me- dical officer.' Thiss was Allan Ray, Norwood Many of the applicants come in pairs. They are chums, and if one of them is turned down the other will not apply for enlistment, but goes back home with his friend. This curi- ous circumstance has prevented some splendid young fellows from enlisting. The following non-commissioned of- ficers of "B" battery, R.C.A., have sent in their applications, which have been forwarded to the militia depart: ment at Ottawa: Sergts.

"Springfield, Sar decision w of Prince Edward Island. - NO TRUTH IN YARNS. Some Persons Busy Circulating False Reports. Conservatives, in an unfair cam paign, have cicemlated a report throughout the city that the publish. er of the Whig, who happens to be a candidate, will not permit the opera tors of typesetting machines to work over wight hours b day, alleging that the wen were therchy ill-used. There is not a grain of truth or sense in the story. According to the rules of / the International typographical employees! union the machine operators' day shall be limited to eight hours. The wanifacturers of the machines stipu- inte that they shall not be run long or than eight hows per day. A long er time would be dangerous to health, The men themselves are. and have al ways been, perfectly satisfied with an vight-hour day, and if the paper could be set up in a shorter day it would please them better. Machine operatars in the. Whig office make be tween $2 and 83 a day. The story, of course, was circulated with the ob- ject of injurving the reform candidate, hut a tale sg lacking of the clement of truth and fairplay can have none but the opposite effect. It would be to the lisher's interest to have a nine or ten-hour day for operators as he could get along with fewer of these expensive machines and their frequent repairs; Another report circulated is that the machine men had been worked ten hours, but in view of the election were cut down to eight hours. No change bes taken place. 'The men have ever been fairly and well treated. Newspapers oufside of Kingston ean judge of the style of campaign from "these sample reports : Kingston, April IR. ~({To the Edi- tor} : The reports circulated that the proprietor of the Whig had refused to recognize the typographical union's request for an increase in wages and reduction of howrs of labor are un true. It did not take long for Mr. Pense to arrive at his decision; he gave the increase and was heartily in accord with a shorter working day. As to his fairness and liberality to ward us we have never had cause to complain. He has always heen willing to treat us with courtesy and we cobld not wish for a better "boss." (Rigned) N. Bmith, 8.

London, April 15.--In the house of commons, yesterday, John Redmond, the Irish nationalist leader, spoke of the crimes got jnaclamation issued by the lord lieutenant of Treland, earl Cadogan. He said that an infamous conspiracy was on foot in England to foment evime in Ireland, where no crime existed. The stories of outrage and violenee in Ireland were infamous calumnies. The nationalists in Ire land were only governed hy a con temptible minority. This stitement was cheered by the Irish members. A hundred men, Mr. Redmond contin ned, stood ready to replace every man sent to prison in this struggle. They gntreated Mr. Wyndham, the chief secretary for Ireland, to change his policy; but if he continued it they would meet him face to face, and give blow for blow. Their answer to his coercion of Ireland would be to hard: en their hearts, strengthen their or ganization and compel redress. Mr. Wyndham replied, that while it was true that there war 4 compara- tive absence in Ireland of crime against the person, the lives of peo- ple were made miserable by intimida- tion and boycotting. The govern ment was hot acting from political motives, hut as the result of a mass of information laboriously . collegted and carefully examined, A motion for adjournment to dis cuss coercion, made by Mr. Red mond. was rejected by a vole of 253 to 148.

You can't buy me up." "I can ruin you and your reg." he shouted. "Oh, no, you can't," the young editor retorted; "it's my rag, and I shall write what I like in it.
