Hon. N. Clark Wallace and Dr. Sproule, representatives of the Grand Lodge of British North America. are attending the Supreme Grand Orange Association of the United States in Chicago this week. “ Remember the Maine ” 18 the American battle cry in their great humanitarian war. “ To hell with Bpain” was added by the Yankee war poet to complete the couplet, and in- spire the forces as they advanced up- on Manila. However righteous the Americans may claim their cause to be. their action from the beginning shows a revengeful spirit. wholly in- consistent with their humanitarian yretenuons. Mr. George Lambert, of Thornbnry is pressing a total disability claim of 8700 against the Massachusett’s Ben- efit Life Association. now in liquida- tion. though the evidence showed him to be capable of running a bun- di-od yards quickly and of having split 15 cords of wood during the past month. A‘ Sir Adolphe Chaplean, the well known Canadian Steteomnn, and Ex- Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, died on Monday ofternoon last nt the Windsor Hotel. Montreal. He was "professor of Internetional Law in La- velle University at the time of his death. Born in 1840, he was in his The size of American victories de- pends considerably on the source from which the report. comes. Few hves have been lost during the whole ~-onflict. and insurance companies will soon place war on the non-haz- ardous class of risks. Lord Wolseley is spoken of as the probable successor to Lord Aberdeen y. .. .m, _ in the Governor-Generdship of the Dominion. During the past week the progress of the Spanish-American war is more marked than formerly. In Cuba, a number of troops have been landed and skirmishes engaged in to the advantage of the Yankee forces Owing however to the difficulties in getting the war news, and the con- flicting reports that are still coming in some deapatches seem to lack confir- mation. In any event the Americans have the best of it, and Spanish power in America is fast nearing its end. A report from Guantanamo speaks of an engagement between nine hundred marines in a hand to hand encounter with three times their number of Spanish regulars and guerillas, and the defeat of the latter after thirteen hour’s fighting. In the east, Manila, pressed by hunger and hemmed in by Dewey and the insurgent land forces, is said to have surrendered to the Americans. THE Hanover Post says :-“License Commissioner Poehlman was at Dur- ham on Tuesday, and with his col- leagues formally passed over the li- cense to the new proprietor of the British Hotel. There seems to have been quite a pull between the friends of the Central and those of the Brit ish as to which should have the license. It strikes us. the Durham- ites, who attempted to dictate to the commissioners as to what was their duty, were just a little impertineut. But then it is well known that Dur. ham is the ‘hub’ of the Riding any- way ?” It may be that the people of Durham are “just a little imperti- uent” but in the face of the opinion 0! four-fifths of the citizens. inde- pendent of their political or other leanings. it seems that the Post shows considerable gall in dictating to us on the running of our local in- mitutions. Moreover the Commis- sioners themselves were not a unit on the license question. It is grati-‘ lying, however, to know that Mr. Puelman and the Post have such a deep interest in our well-ire and the civil authorities here would do well to get them to run the business for us. Such high handed, star chamber proceeding isn’t going to work long and the end is yet to be seen. The only commissioner interested in Dur- ham and the only one who knew a émnt.or cared for, our interests stood out against the granting of a license to the British Hotel in preference to the other, yet the Post criticises us for offering advice. You may be a useful man at hpme Bro. Mitchell, but kindly allow us to attend to our own business. DURHAM, June 16th, 1898. THE CHRONICLE.
