CURED Port Arthur and Talien Wan,
spoke quite frankly of the war rumors.
He said: II left Corea only four
months ago, going to st. Petersburg, SO
that my information is quite direct and
official, and I assure you there is no
basis whatever for reports of conflict
between Russia and Japan over Corea.
On the contrary, the two countries
have entered into two formal compacts
by which it is agreed that the indepen-
dence of Corea shall be maintained
These compacts were concluded at ST.
Petersburg and Toxic, and they are so
explicit that the reports of conflict as
to sovereignty over Corean territory
show an entire ignorance of the written
agreement under which Russia and
Japan are acting towards Corea
The war rumors appear to be based
on an alleged conflict over the port of
Massanpo. 1t happens that am per-
sonally familiar with this affair, as II
developed before left Corea.
"Massanpo is one of the new treaty
ports on the southern coast of Corea
There has been no question as to the
freedom of the port to all nations alike,

some months ago as to the ownership of

consent Japanese citizens purchased

London, Nov. 16.-British troops now
are pouring into South Africa by thou
sands. but the fact. gratifying though
it Is, does not relieve the tense anxiety
with which the British public views the
situation at Ladysmith. Since Friday
$4,000 men, between $1,000 and $4,000
horses and mules, three batteries of
iield artillery and number Of Maxims
have been landed. More than 5000 of
these soldiers are at Durham, and five
other transports, with at least as many
more. are on the way from the Cape.
IL the question of relieving Cen Sir
George Stewart White We're merely one
of men these re-enforcements would
soon arrive at Ladysmith. but trans
ports must be organized and supplies
of food, forage and ammunition for
warded-all of which requires time
1t is considered here unsafe to con-
centrate at present at Estcourt, which
would inevitably be attacked in force,
and further withdrawal from an un-
tenable position, with disastrous loss
of stores, would result. Even when the
time comes the advance will be no easy
task, especially if the Beers shall have
destroyed the bridges over the Tugela
river. 1t is possible, however, that Bull
wer bridge at Colerso has not been
mined, as has been believed, in which
case the movement toward Ladysmith
will be rendered easier.
For the next fortnight, therefore, or
until White shall win decisive victory
or fail, Ladysmith must continue to be
the center of interest and anxiety. The
Beers are now aware that Ladysmith
will not fall to their artillery fire; that
they must choose between an actual as
sault in the open. a storming of the
British works, and retirement to the
passes of the Drakensberg before the
reinforcements Fastening from Durham.
To such an assault they are notori-
ously averse. They fight best-with no
disparagement to their personal brave
ry-from behind something: yet, on the
other hand, to fall back to the noun
tains would be so far different to their
promised march to the sea that they
are likely, in the view of many good
judges, to make desperate effort I,
make good their vaunt.
The actual War news received is OF
the slightest, and all relates to opera
tions on the western and northern bor-
ders of the Transvaal. The undated
dispatch from Mafeking received at
Cape Town by way of Magalapye, last
Wednesday. refers, it is true, to an ac-
tion already officially reported-that of
Oct. 25-but it is received here with
great satisfaction for the proof it gives
that the town is we'll provisioned; that
the inhabitants are cheerful and the
garrison determined. and that Col. Ba-
den Powell is unaltering in his convic-
ton that he will be able to hold OUT
against any attack. 1t is satisfactory,
too, to learn that the fighting is being
conducted on civilized lines.

New Phase to Bankrup, Law,

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov 1s-Judge
Seaman. in the United States circuit
court, has rendered a decision of great
Importance. as it will to a large extent
vitiate the benefits of the bankruptcy
act to creditors.
David Goodman has petitioned the
court to be discharged from Si2227l OF
liabilities. He has nothing in the way
of assets. The creditors objected to the
discharge. and sought to examine him
to learn if there is any concealed prop
erty.
His counsel objected on the ground
that answers to such question might
tend to incriminate his client Judge
Seaman held the objection was we'll
taken.
Attorneys hold that under this ruling
all a man has to do is to turn his prop
erty over to his wife and then refuse to
testify. as under the ruling of the court
a bankrupt's wife can not testify
agaipM him. and there is absolutely no
profession for the creditors.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 16.-There is re-

quarters, probably as result of the de-
cision of the court of appeals dealing an
expected blow at the republicans by a
ruling which practically decides ad-
versely the mandamus suits filed by
Taylor's attorneys in several counties

BoMBARDMENr OF LADYsM1rn
No News Received From the British
Garrison the Pnst Week

London. Nov. 16.-The news contained
in the Pretoria dispatch of Nov. 8 is
correct, and there is every reason to be-
lteve 1t is accurate, as the Boer dis
patches almost invariably hitherto
have rendered fairly accurate accounts.
1t Is claimed here that 1T implies gem
eral assault on Ladysmith, which was
pending when Gen. Joubert's 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
message announcing the renewal of the
bombardment, since which nothing has
been received, except runors from Est
court that the bombardment was sus-
pended Nov. 10. 1t is claimed that if
the Beers got their forces within 1,5OO
yards of the British position it shows
they fully realized the necessity of util-
izing the brief interval before the ar
rival of British reinforcements to make
determined attempt to storm Gen.
Whites position. To successfully ad-
vance so close to Ladysmith, it is point
ed out that the Beers must have been
most active in entrenching, and the
nearness of the besieging lines, it is
added. indicates their readiness for an
toSduIl, WHICH tlcIe DteH d utSDOSl-
ton in military circles to believe the
Beers were. not willing to undertake. 1t
must. however, have been patent to
Gen. Joubert that Ladysmith would not
fall to the fire of his artillery, therefore
he had no choice but to assault the
place or retire to the passes of the Dra-
kensburg in the hope of involving the
pursuing British in the intricate fast
nesses of the mountains. The cessation
of the cannonade mentioned in the dis
patch, and opening of she musketry
fire, implies. it is claimed, that the
Beers were obliged to stop the artillery
for fear of hitting their own men, and
that nothing further has been heard
from this movement is regarded here as
an indication either that the threatened
assault was postponed or that the re-
suit was indecisive; otherwise, 1t is
claimed. something further would have
leaked out before this. A Paris paper
