most valuable cargoes that has left this

canned salmon, 1850 cases canned apricots

THE B. & A. LEASE.
Col. Bullock Thinks Stock
holders May Still OPP
pose It.

Col. A. George Bullock, one of the
directors of the Boston and Albany cor
poration, said yesterday, in speaking of
the proposed compromise with the pro-
tective committee. Il am not, as is
generally assumed, a member of the
protective committee, so-called, but
rather a new member of the directory.
am not certain as to the exact division
of opinion represented by the proxies in
this city.
But 1 am of the opinion that the ma
jority Of the holdings here, in amount
at least We're opposed to the lease I'M
der the conditions first proposed. And
even now they may not consider add
tional $500, 900 as quite all they should
receive. That, of course, is only human
nature. sBut we view the Boston and
Albany as a very valuable corporation,
particularly to the New York Central
railroad
TT is probable, however that the
compromise will meet with practically
favorable agreement, except possibly
few scattering shares here and there,
as is always the case to an extent.
There is no question but what we shall
meet with violent opposition from the
Massachusetts Legislature Even intim-
alton vas conveyed in the meeting of
Tuesday to lead us to that conclusion,
but 1 do not think that it will be at all
effective"
Hon. Stephen Salisbury, when seen
by The Spy man, last evening, in ref
erence to the Boston and Albany lease.
said that the action had been fully de-
scribed, and that there was nothing to
add to the Geographic news received
by The Spy. An interview with Hon.
Mr.. Salisbury in an evening paper was
a one man interview, as Mr. Salisbury
had received no reporters.

A CLOSE ADVANCE.
Beers Move Up to a
Few Hundred Yards
of Ladysmith.
ACTIVELY INTERVENING.
Cessation Of Cannonading
Means Dutch Fear Hit
ting Their Comrades,
ACTIVELY INTERVENING.

London, Nov. 15.-Delayad advices
from Pretoria, Nov. 9. via Cape Town,
Nov. 10, say that reports have been re-
ceived in the Boer capital that heavy
cannonading began at Ladysmith last
Thursday at daybreak, and that some
Of the Boer rifemen were within 1900
yards Of the British when the artillery
fire ceased and the rifle fire commenced.
The same dispatch announces that all
was quiet at Mafeking and Kimberley.
If the news contained in the Pretoria
dispatch is correct, and the Boer dis
patches have almost invariably rem
dered fairly accurate accounts, it is
claimed here that 1t implies that gem
eral assault on Ladysmith was pending
when Gen. Jouberts report was sent
off. Attention is called to the fact that
the date, Nov. 9, is assumed to be the
date of Gen. Whites last pigeon-post
message announcing a renewal of the
bombardment, since which nothing has
been received, except rumors from Est
court that the bombardment was sus-
pended Nov. 10. 1t is claimed that if
the Beers got their forces within 1900
yards Oh the British position, it shows
they fully realized the necessity of
utilizing the brief interval before the ar
rival of the British reinforcement to
make a determined attempt to storm
Gen Whites position.
To successfully advance so close to
Ladysmith, ii is pointed out, the Beers
must have been most active in intrench-
ing; and the nearness of the besieging
lines indicates their readiness for the
assault, which there had been a dispo-
sition in military circles to believe that
the Beers were not willing to under
take. 1t must, however, have been pa
tent to General Joubert that Lady
smith would not fall 70 the fire of his
artillery, and therefore he had no
choice but TO assault the place or re-
tire to the passes of the Drakkensburg
in the hope of involving the pursuing
British in the intricate Businesses of
the mountains.
The cessation of the cannonade men
toned in the dispatch, and the opening
of musketry fire implies, it is said, that
the Beers were obliged to stop their
artillery for fear of hitting their own
men. That nothing further has been
heard from this movement is recorded
here as an indication either that the
threatened assault was postponed, or
that the result was indecisive Other
wise something further would have
leaked out before now.

Molineaux.
New York, Nov. 15.-The trial of Ro-
land B. Molineux. charged with the
death of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams, was
continued before Recorder Golf in the
court of general sessions today. The
efforts were directed toward securing
jury, but Notwithstanding the fact
that 46 talesmen We're examined, not
one jUryman was chosen.
Barlow S. Weeks, counsel for the de-
Tense, or one of his assistants, closely
questioned each of the talesmen, ask
ing for definitions of terms and pro-
pounding hypothetical questions, until
Recorder Golf condemned the practice
of any attempt whatever to confuse
persons summoned for jury duty. The
defense used it's first peremptory chal
lenge late in the afternoon, after Louis
Jacobs, a member of the firm of S. ia
cobs & Sons, had apparently passed a
searching examination. The defense
also used a second peremptory chal-
lenge, refusing to accept as a juror
Richard T. Treffurth, a former steward
Of the New York club, after the state
had announced it's willingness to have
him sit in the jury box.
