This was the second meeting tending to wards a settlement. According to the figures of the city's two appraisers, the county's bill was excessive by about 8350. Yesterday's conference is aescribed by some who were present as boing somewhat "'warm," in fact some of the city's representatives left the meeting, because matters were not going satisfactorily. Suggestions were made that the dispute be settled by arbitration or by 'udge Price, but were not accepted, A basis of settle ment wid, however, finally determined The rouniv withdrew sn account of 806, for fixing up a room not used by the city, and agreed to throw off $65, the cost of summoning the county couneil together.

London, June 20.--A despatch from Kimberley reports that commandant Kemp, Delatey's lieutenant, in an in terview said that about 50.000 Doers were in the field at the outset and that only 1,500 out of 6.000 men avail able fought at Colenso, where the Boer losses were not heavy. At Spion Rop the Boers had only fifty-three men killed. In one of the fights oot side Ladysmith the Poers lost fifty six killed and over 10 wounded. Their losses were heavier at Brankspruit and Viakfontein. 'The Boers were of ten worried by the British shrapnel and lyddite fire, but when entrenched did not fear the shells. Members of the Boer forces often managed to get into Johannesburg, Krugersdorp and Pretoria, procuring valuable information, and frequently crossed the bloekhouse lines at wight. Commandant Kemp did not allow the Boers of his command to wear khaki, the British uniform. Jameson To The Front. London, June 20.--Dr. Jameson is now & man of mark in current affairs in South Africa, whatever may have teen his responsibility, direct or in- direct, for the raid. He shares with a wellknown South African banker the duty of representing and adminis tering the late Cecil Rhodes' great interests, and has taken the place of the Colossus in important companies and holdings. The Scotchman, who in life-long devotion to Mr. Rhodes' am hitions has neglected to make a for tune for himself, now controls great financial interests. This makes Dr Jameson a man of power in South Africa, who cannot be left out of ac count, in the future. Mr. Chamber- lain clearly does not consider it neges- sary to take a serious view of the hack passages of South African his tory. GORDON'S END. He Was Hanged at Brandon, Manitoba, Brandon, Man., June 20. --Walter Gordon, the double murderer, expiated his crime on the scaffold this morning As early as six o'clock a morbidly curious crowd had gathered around the jail, and by seven all officially con- nected with the case were in attend- ance. Gordon sat up last night till about 2 a.m., spending the time in quiet conversation and prayer, with the Rev, William Henry. At two o'clock he lay down for a little sleep and at times appeared very restless. He was up at six, dressing himself without the slightest trace of nervous ness. At seven o'clock he breakfasted, eating sparingly of some ham, toast and strawberries, and drinking a cup of strong tea. After breakfast Rad clifie, the hangman, put in an appear: ance and Gordon shook hands with him. By that time it was about eight o'clock, and Gordon was made ready for the final proceedings. Soon after eight o'clock the solemn pro cession started for the scaffold. Walter Gordon kept his calm nerve to the end ascending the scaffold with a firm tread. The noose was quickly adjust. ed, and within less than a minute from the time the murderer leit the jail he was dead. The drop fell at exactly 8.05 am., and his neck was broken, causing instantaneous death, though the pulse beat freely for thir teen minutes.
