irrevocably opposed to all legisla tion which grants unfair privileges to the street railway companies and am equally opposed to the purchase of the street rail ways at the enormous price asked I am in favor of straight three ceijt fares with universal transfers and if elected ill op pose any new franchise which Goes not adequately provide for theso very impor tant conditions London November The evacuation of Colenso is undoubtedly a most serious mat ter for the British Tsfatal as it not only testifies to the complete investment of Ladysmith by th'e Boers" but makes the re lief of Gen Sir Georce Stewart White tn difllctilt operation Colenso is the point where the railway from Lady smith crosses Tugela river now in flood importance on the north untenable if the Boers have advanced' as they seem to have done Moreover only a small naval and colonial force was sta tioned at Colenso The seripusness of the evacuation however "lies in the fact that Commandant General Joubert while com pletely investing Sir George White at Lady smith can seize 'the Tugela bridge and if h4 has sufficient troops can detach a force and send it southward on Pietermaritz burg and in any case by destroying the bridge and railway can prevent any relief A hull fAfiturpi nbOMl Mich i dul oiin Michigan pluyed good claim Pennsylvania will win from put at naif tnere wm enough We have been Captain

people will bev best conserved by the ownership of street railway tracks and leasing same to rhe highest bidder with the proviso that three cent fares and uni versal transfers may be secured 1 do not believe in long term franchises nnd will oppose them as a taxpayer and If elected as an alde rman I believe that all street railway measures should be referred to the people In reference to grade separations I must say that this is a question and a vital one that concerns fall the people where their safety is at stake and you may put me down as saying that 1 am in favor of grade separations throughout the city and the beginning of immediate and definite proceedings therefor I believe the safety of the people demands that this mattr be attended to at once To procrastinate and accidents

should be submitted to a vntq of the people I believe that the tax rate la the city ahotilj bv materially les sened If elected I would endeavor to com pel the street car company to give better service iird bclievo that every passenger who rides is entitled to a seat upon pay merit of his fare I am in favor of grade separation and the immediate commencement of proceed ings therefor AVM CHIERA London' November The war office has iisned the 'olloiciny an nouncement: colonial office has information io that' the British troops have withdraw frpm Colenso and have concentrated fur ther south but we have no news of any engagement in that neighbor hood" The news' contained in the' abova is another bijter jpill for the British public and arousing fears sthat tfye continental statements' of a second serious defeat of Gen White may prove true A significant fact is that the war officc docs not say when Colenso was evacuated so the statement' which emanated Thursday from Dr Leyds the diplomatic representatives of the Transvaal who is 'located at Brussels that theBoers had occupied Colenso jwat possibly true There is much apprehension that the tear office is suppressing bad newsp:
