The men would not 're main all the time in camp, and if they did what training would they re Col. Hughes, minister of militia, is rushing things in his department. He is doing this, apparently, off his own bat. He has a military council, which is supposed to consider all mili- tary questions, and it is composed of experts. But a while ago there was the extraordinary spectacle of a con- di A MINISTER MARRIED REV. GEORGE W. DUSTIN, FORM- ERLY OF GANANOQUE, Weds Miss Annie M. Boehme, of Combermere--Gananoque is Like- ly to Have an Armoury Shortly. Gananoyue, Jan. 10.~A pretty wed- took place at seven o'clock, yes ¥ morning in Combermere, when Miss Annie M. Hoebme, only daugh- ter of Mr. and Mre. William Boehme, was united in marriage 'to Kev. George W. Dustin, S.T.L., of Yarm, Que., only son of Mr, and Mrs. W.G, Dustin, Garden street. The marriage was solemnized by Rev. E. D. Mit , in Methodist church, before a goodly number of re- latives. and friends of the contracting parties. lhe bride was attended by Miss Gertrude Dustin, sister . of the groom, and the groomsman was Wil liam Boehme, brother of the bride. Mr. and Mrs, Dustin left at 9 a.m. for Barry's Bay, where they took the G.T.R. south for their honeymoon trip before locating at their new home in Yarm, Que. The bride © was attired jn a handsome gown of cream duchess satin and her going-away gown was of navy blue with hat to match. The bridesmaid wore embroid- ceive in so short a time? J There is the question of cost. Who is to meet the expense of fitting out a city regiment for camp? Not the! officers surely. Officers of the rural militia who go to camp have the ne- cessary equipment, but the city offi cers dod not have it, and they would not be justified by any crazy experi- ment in investing in it. Think of the waste in money and in time. The five days will be occupied pretty much as follows: One day, in going into camp; one in returning from it, one, a Sunday,when no work can be done; two at the most for drill. Here's a suggestion. The minister called the commanding officers rural corps to Ottawa, to talk them, and occasionally hear talk. Why should he not now call the commanding officers of city corps to Ottawa, and ask what they think of the five days' outing ? Col. Hughes' advisors in the military council are not in touch with the city corps. Not one has commanded at any time a military unit, How can they tell of the difficulties that confront a manding officer under the circumstan- ces ? The best they can do in this inclement weather is hug the hig arm chairs in their comfortable offices and issue impossible orders. Oh, foi another "Vanguard" to expose this folly. ference at Ottawa which was attended largely by militia officers, and lay members of the permanent force. But the experts were silent. Why ? No one can tell. They may have indulged in a little mind reading, and realized that Col. Hughes desired to be known by their presence rather than their words, Now the honourable, the minister of militia appears to be in favour of a standing army. No other conclusion can follow his declaration that the city regiments shall go into camp for at least five days a year. He knows, or he ought to know--and so does every militia man--that as now organized and recruited, city regi- ments cannot go into camp, and what is more, they will not"do it, What does this involve;? An absemce from employment, which: cannot be secured by the average man, and the more the proposal is contemplated the more absurd it seems. Playing the soldier for five days ! Nothing more. There are in the city those who remember what happened a few years ago when an attempt was made to form a composite regiment from the of to them com- ing in camp. The 14th Regiment was required to send two companies of cightydour men, and not a man offer- ed for the service. Was that not suf- ficient ?

When these places are completed the rates for power to Kingston will probably be lower than the rates embodied in the offer of last fall, namely, $20.45 for 1,200 horse-power, $28.76 for 1,800 horse-power, and - $19.20 for 2,400 horse-power. A remarkable statement appears in the second report of the Conservation Commission, namely, that the Niaga- ra river is not capable of generating many millions of horsepower, as some people supposed. The report states that the lowswater flow of the Niaga- ra river would yield at the Falls, about 2,250,000 horse-power, of which Canada's share (one-half), would be 125,000 horse-power. "Franchises have already been granted," it goes on to say, "spd plants partially com- pleted, for the development on the Canadian side of the river, of about 450,000 - horse-power. In other words, instead - of 'millions' of horse-power being available, it appears that about hall, and by all odds the better half, of Canada's usable share of Niagara Falls power has already been 'placed under private control."

In a summary of its contents the book is said to pre sent "'an exhaustive compendium of useful Information," and a casual ex- amination of it confirms this state- ment, This is properly referred to as the first inventory ever taken of the wa- ter powers of Canada. The investiga- tion extended over two years, and shows that there are 1,016,521 horse power developed from water falls or currénts.

In the chapters devoted to Ontario, (and accompanied by a splendid map which has marked upon it every pow- er district), there is a report upon the work of the Hydro-Electric Commis- sion in Eastern Ontario.

KAfter running a few vards, she kicked, breaking the cross bar of the cutter, freeing herself, and the sudden petop caused the cutter to slew to one side, throwing the three occupants out. All three escaped unhurt, except a slight shaking up, snd were soon straightened up by the kind friends who witnessed the accident. They were placed in J. Bishop's cutter, and driven safely home. Meanwhile, the frightened animal ran towards home the harness clinging to her, and was caught by John Bishop, pear Mrs. R. Kidd's residence, and was taken home by Gordon Harris.

New York, Jan. 10.--The New York Times publishes the following des- patch from William Maxwell, of the London Daily Mail, from Calcutta : Caleutta's farewell to the king-em- pef6r and queen-empress was even more crowded and impressive than her welcome to them. It gives 8 true mea- sure of the success of the royal visit. From Bombay to Calcutta it has been a personal and pregressive triumph. At every stage of the journey the popular enthusiasm had a new force and a new significance, but it was at Delhi that the real impulse was ieit. Lord ley, before I left London, assured me that it would be political ly the most important visit ever paid to India. He spoke with knowledge of the administrative changes to be an nounced at the durbar and he was Fright in his estimate of their effect. From that moment, the king assumed another character in the eves of In- dia. He passed at one bound from a personal to-a political supremacy and realized the popular conception of a ruler. What this means to India, we saw at Delbi and Calfutta, when multi- tudes did homage before the vacant thrones. © There was neither servility nor affection in' the amazing demon- stration. They were the mafural ex- pression of native reverence and com- plete submission. This statement ai- fected all classes. Even those who at first were inclined to eriticize the ad- ministrative changes, accepted them as the acts of the emperor. The effect has been universal and tantansous. A new atmosphere has heen created. Bengal, about which there had been forsbodings, responded to the common impulse. It is 'only just to say thai neither the king nor the government shared these fears. The Hengali are an emotional race, and the partition of Bengal was a sentimental, if un assume that this il end sl the agi- tation in Bengal, itical agite- tion will still be seem in Bengal and elsewhere, but a new spirit will ani- mate and direct it, and for this new spirit their majestion will he responsi- {bile. The Indian reformers have taken off their coats to the san after bat- toning them to the wind, and it is true here, as in other countries, that the masses follow their leaders.
