»*a€ 74 Wide DURHAMU REVIEW. Thursday, November 16, 1899. Tuursoay. A plot to kill Gen. Buller has discovered and frustrated. The Queen has written to Lady White expressing sympathy for her husband‘s trials, and expressing her complete faith in his good generalship. Reported that the Boers are leaving Mafeking to concentrate on Kimterley. The offer of the Canadian government to send a second contingent has been declined with thanks. Britain looks upon the contingents from a sentime ental standpoint rather than as a necâ€" essity. Germany and her Emperor were never so friendly to Britain. Not only Bombardment of Ladysonth began on Tuesday again, with no serious reâ€" gults. The trangsport abled and kad to St. Vincent. Frivay. First of the transports reached the Cape, and are ordered to Darban, which means that Ladysmith is to be relieved first. is he coming to visit Grandmother Victoria in State, he has ordered all Prussian officer3 to keep away from the Transvaal, besides an amicable agreeâ€" ment has been reached on the Samoan quest:on, and he even allowed this to become known on the very day he was welcoming Czar and Czarina at Potsâ€" dam. It is enough to drive France crazy, and to think she dare not now become belligerent for fear of endangerâ€" ing the dollars of next year‘s big show. The whole world was waiting for Lord Salisbury‘s pronouncemeny at the great Lord Mayor‘s Aunual banquet, where great state purposes are generâ€" ally outlined. His remarks were calm and dignified, and breathed no alarm. He is quite clear that Britain will tolâ€" crate 15 intervention, and speaks conâ€" fidently of coniinued good neighborship with all the world. It is ominous for the fature indeâ€" pendence of the Transvaal, that the present disturbance is not called "War" by the British authorities, but «"Miliâ€" tary operations‘‘ in the Queen‘s domain. Editor and C. Ramage, Pr.ol;’riotor. Lord Wolseley, at the banquet anâ€" nounced that 10000 more troops would be sent, and a second army corps if neceseary. Mafeking and Kimberley still holding out, the laster bard pressed. The exâ€" pected in vasion of Cape Colony seems to be off. The delay at Ladysmuth seems to be caused by a wait for big guns from Pretoria, and more reinforceâ€" ments. Saturpay. Trans«ports arriving at the cape with roops and cavalry. Tenders for the first instalment, of the war fund, £3,000,000 have been opened, and over £10,000,000 have been offered, a characterist‘ic instance of British wealth, confidence and stabâ€" rlity. Rumors that the British fired on an ambulance, while not correct, though one had been struck, baye been exâ€" plained by a Boer chaplain, who exonâ€" erates the British. It is now quite certain however thot on several occasâ€" ions the Boers have used tke white fAag treacherously, have fired on amâ€" bulances, and, at least in Rhodesia, bhave fired on women and chilaren. WAR NOTES.â€"Day by Day. 400 volunteers for the Boers enrolled in France. The Boer quiescence for some days is looked upon as a trick to draw out White, but the latter knows something now and is husbanding his ammunition. Holland and Belgium bave warned Dr. Leyds to keep away from their territory. o4 can reach him. At Belmont, betwean Kimberly and De Aar Junction, two British officers were lilled in a skirmish. This implies an invasion of Cape Colony in the usâ€" ual Boer way: sln;_)ping around and cutâ€" ting communication. _ _ ___ _ _ s Moxpay. Sardinian. with Canadian contingent,. reported at Cupe Verde Islands, half way and making good time. Kimberly and Ladysmith both being bitterly attacked at latest despatch but still holding out. White will bave to hold out till Nov. 26 tefore effective aid Persia became disâ€" put in for repairs at d 2 d 4~ Troops have begun to arrive at Durâ€" ban,. Boers reported short of food. Naval guns beard in action at Ladyâ€" smith, and more of them landed at Duarban. Little can be specialized. . Troops are now pouring in to Capetown and 6000 are on the way or arrived at Durâ€" ban,. Ladysmith, Mafeking and Kim. berly are all bolding out and eyery day makes them safer. Joubert must feel it is now or never, and the next two weeks will furnish exciting news. Beâ€" lated reports from the besieged towns all teil of Boer repulses. There is safety, if nothing more, in total abstinence. â€" But it is getting 11)1 be a widespread opinion that there are other advantages, besides safety, in teetotalism as regards the use of intoxâ€" icants. A sick benefit society in the village of Send, Surrey, Eng., has been making experiments along this line. For this purpose the members are divided into two classesâ€"the moderate drinkers and the teetotallers, The reâ€" port of the society shows most unmisâ€" takably that total abstainers have deâ€" cidedly the advantage of the moderate drinkers. _ It is shown by the report that during the year the teetotallers reâ€" quired no sick pay whatever, and sut* scriptions amounting to about $6.20 each were returned to them. _ But to moderate Crinkers, benefits amounting to about $75, had been paid, and the amount of subscriptions returnable to members of this section was correspondâ€" ingly less than that paid in the teetotal section. â€" We believe that other societies and clubs have made similar tests with about the same results. _ Views regardâ€" ing total abstinence have wonderfally changed since the time when the apâ€" plicacion of a man for life imsurance was retused for no other reason but that he used no stimulants, Then it was believed that the use of alcohol was necessary to the end'of'ment of good health ; now it is widely helieged that its use, eyen in moderation, is decidedly detrimental to health and longevâ€" ity.â€"Ex.
