Violations of the law have been so few nnd far between during the past fort? night that the coppers have had practi? cally nothing to do, and now, it is said, they have shown a disposition to turn their attention to peaceable citizens. A f*\v days ago Acting Sheriff ?Dclstil, while passing through Phoebus on hi3 way to Fox Hill, was approached by a policeman named Sherman and ordered to give an account of himself or go to jail. Mr. Deistil explained that he was en route to Fox Hill as the representa? tive of Sheriff Curtis, who was ill at his home in Hampton, and hoped that ho would be allowed to proceed unmolest? ed. After some time he succeeded in convincing his captor, who.in the mean? while, had been re-enforced by several other otllcers almost as large as him? self, that he was not a dangerous character, and was released. He lost no time in getting out of the town and when at a safe distance from the cop? pers gave vent to his indignation in terms which would not look well in a Sunday school book.

TOASTS AND COMPLIMENTS Lord Salisbury Eulogized Tho Colonlos And The ir Troops And Deprecated Any Arti? ficial Uastcnliig Of A Colonial Union - Mr. Chamberlain Toastod "Our Austral Ian Kinsman" And Saldi "Mo Too" With Iteferenco To The Sentiments Expressed My Thorrcmlcr Of England-IIouso Or Commons. (By Telegraph to Vlrginlan-Pllot.) London. April 30.?The banquet given at the Hotel Cecil, In London, this even? ing hy the Lritish Empire League In honor of the colonial trooDS in South Africa and of the Australian Federation delegates, brought together a brilliant gathering. The Duke of Devonshire, Lord President of the Council of Min? isters, presided, Hanked by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Fife, the Marquis of Salisbury, Joseph Chamber? lain, Lord Wolseley, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, former Colonel Deni son, President of the Canadian League, and Lord Lansdownc. The company included some 250 others. The Duke of Devonshire proposed the health of the Queen. The Prince of Wales referred feelingly to tho lirussels eyoside and acknowledged the patriotism of the colonies in the mother country's fight. Lord Salisbury, proposing "The Im? perial Forces," also eulogized the colo? nies and their troops. Continuing, Lord Salisbury said: "Not only have they helped us In what I trust Is a conquering campaign, but they have also given us moral sup? port which, In the present state of opin? ion in some Darts of the world. Is of no small Importance. After what the colonies have done, it Is realized that Great Qrltaln is a far more Important nation In the world than before." ?Lord?Salisbury?deprecated any at tcmpt to expedite a fusion of the'colo nies With the mother country by legis? lation, declaring that it would be bet? ter to allow this wonderful growth of sentiment to continue, "by Its own laws and according to the impulse of its own vitality." Mr. Chamberlain, proposed "Our Australian kinsmen" and agreed with Lord Salisbury as to any artificial hastening of a colonial union, but said the old day of indifference toward the colonies had given place to a strenuous desire for closer union. The Duke of Devonslre announced the league had cabled Lord Roberts that this distin? guished company was drinking to the successes of the imperial f roc es he was so ably commanding and expressing their high appreciation of the loyal courage and endurance of all ranks, adding that a reply had been received from l^ord Roberta tendering his grate? ful thanks on behalf of the troops and saying that all were In splendid condi? tion and that Her Majesty might rely upon them to bring tne campaign In South Africa to a satisfactory conclu? sion. Sympathy was expressed with the Ottawa disaster. THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Speaker Gully llnally called Mr. MacNcllI to order for demanding to know whether the oper? ations at Magersfonteln were exempt from criticism by the Commnndcr-in Chlef of the British forces in South Africa because Lord Methuen waa "a society peer und a court favorite." Mr. Wyndham said that the War Office had not communicated with Gen? eral Bullcr In connection with the Spion Kop dispatch, but that communi? cations had passeM between Lord Roberts and General Duller In refer? ence to the. publication of the dis? patches In question. The Government leader, Mr. Ralfour, subsequently announced that "with a view to clearing up misconceptions which had gathered round the publi? cation of the dispatches" he would place the salary of the Secretary of State for War nmong the votes to be taken Friday and thus enable a de? bate to bo had on the subject.
