Party of Australians Defeated the Boers. `A despatch from Cape Town says` :-1 In the Orange River Colony, 0. party of \Vestern Australians, under aser- geant,.had a pretty brush with the enemy. It was to the south-east of Bloemfontein. The sergeant got up- on a kopje, whence he saw a body of fifty Boers in a valley and around a farm., Telling his men to lie down-4 there were just over a dozen. of them --and not fire untilhe gave the word,` he stood up, _with three comrades, up- on the sky-line. A score and more of galloping up towards them. The sergeant did not budge or turn a hair, The Beer commandant, rifle in hand, got within thirty yards, fired a shot, and yelled to them to throw up their arms and surrender." It was the work of a moment for the `sergeantand the three others to drop to the ground,and for the-whole party of Australians, to open a deadly fusilade. The Boer com- mandant and another were killed out- V right '; four more of the enemy were desperately wounded as they strove. to ride back. After abrief interchange of shots at 600 to 800 yards, the whole body of Boers retired, and the Aus- tralians captured some loot, and, in addition, eleven Boer saddle-hor5.08 and. the same number of rifles. Boers left the farm-house and came :__, 20 Injured, several Jllsslng, as a Result of :1 Roller Explosion. 1A despatch from Chicago l5.'1yS2-By the explosion of the boiler in the Dore- mus laundry, 458 \Vest Madison street, on Monday morning, eight peo- ple were instantly killed, 29 were in- jured, and several are missing. The most conservative estimate by the po- lice concedes that at least three, dead or alive, are still in the ruins, yet the search for bodies in the ruins came to a sudden end early in the afternoon, and the work of rescue was entirely abandoned. The cause of the cessation of the search was a dispute between the firemen and police as to who was responsible for the recovery of any bodies. Later the owners of. the building, sent a number. of wreck- ers to the ruins, and the work of pull- ing down the walls was immediately begun. This operation made it im- possible to continue the search for bodies, but the work will be continued on Tuesday. M Says There is No Chance .of a Free State Now.

(Exporters of such articles to Canada are required to sign acer- tificate setting forth that the condi- tions have been complied with`. In certain cases where doubt has arisen ' enquiry has been made through the High Commissioner's office as to the proportion of British and foreign la- bour and material `represented in the articles. Quite a large proportion of the manufactured articles V imported under the preference are entirely 0 grouped in respect both to material niand workmanship.
