The funeral will take place to- morrow (Friday) at one o'clock. for his colleagties. So he had pur- op sued the extraordinary course of re- maining in the Ministry and de- nouncing its course. He got his revenge by furiously assailing those whom he holds res- ponsible for the presence of the troops in Africa and he declared that it was all the fault of the Tories: There was no desire in the province of Quebec, so Mr. Tarte asserted, to take part in this foreign war. A "clamor" for sending help to the Empire was raised in the English provinces, but Mr. Tarte says that it was inspired by the Opposition leader and the Opposition press. He blames especially the Montreal Star, and appears to think that if the Conservative writers and speakers could have been silenced the , Tarte- Lauriet view might have prevailed, and we should have had no troops in. Africa. But Mr. Tarte could point out no way by which the offenders in this case could be punished as hehas punished General | Hutton. Mr. ' Tarte's speech would not have been ccmplete if he had not taken the Boer side of the Transvaal dispute. He accused Britain of! making war on a weak country of 80,000 Boers.

On Monday the House had official confirmation of the fact stat ed mn last week's letter, that General » Hutton had not left Canada because he was especially needed in South Africa, but because the Canadian Goverument had insisted on his re call. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in reply to i questions by Colonel Prior, first made the statement that a commun- ication on the subject had been sent to the Home Government. After wards he gave an official explana- tion of the grounds on which Gen- eral Hutton's recall was requested .
