Major General Hutton, Comraanding Canadian Troops, has desired me to forward, herewith, an extract from a copy of a communication sent bim by the Military Secretary to His Excellency the Governor General, which communication has recently appeared in the public press. 2. Major General Hutton thinks that the Officers and Non - Commssioned Officers and men of the Corps in the District under your command may like to further the object in view, and by so doing show their anxiety to participate in such a suitable tribute to the memory of the gallant Gordon. An opjiortnnity is thus given of marking our sympathy with Major General Lord Kitchener's project and of demonstrat- ing our pride in the success of our comrades in their late victories at the Atbara and at Omdurman. 3. Major General Hutton suggests that subscriptions should be invited through Officers Commanding Regiments ard forwarded with a nominal list , through yourself, to the above address. The lists will then be forwarded to the Military Secretary, who by His Excellency's desire proposes to make them public. 4. I am to remind you ihat it has been decided that the ►amount of the subscriptions shall be purely voluntary and Hhat the minimum is twentw&v^e cents. The subscription lists of His Excellency close j^]JK)Yl th e 19th of Februai'Y^ next. and you are requested to JbQ good enough to forward th^ subscription lists of the Qo/ps of the Dis tricts under your (jommand, with a draft c^-^ssed Bank of Montreal, for j j amount which may be sj/yscribed, not later than the iTotlTofj February next.

(« General Lord Kitchener has proposed that ' at Khartoum "there shoukl be founded and maintained with British " money a College bearing the name of the Gordon Memorial " College, to be a pledge that the memory of Gordon is still " alive among us, and that his aspirations are at length m be " realised.' " The College is intended to inaugurate the education of " the thi'ee million inhabitants of the Soudan ; it will be '* under the direction of the Governor General of the Soudan, " and the principal features will be British. There will be " no interference with the religion of the inhabitants. " Lord Kitchener has telegraphed to the Governor General " that he hopes the Canadian public will support his pro- " posals, and His Excellency believes that the people of " Canada will gladly welcome an opportunity of doing so."
