The British report a victory at
Ladysmith. One report says Gen
eral Butler has re inforced White at
Ladysmith and captured 10000
prisoners, but this report is not
authentic or is it believed for the
reason that Butler has not
had time to make the march
to Whites relief. The forces
under Width however, have cleared
the Beers from near Ladysmith and
captured some prisoners, and silenc-
ed some of the heavy guns that
have been giving the British trouble,
If White can hold on until he does
get re-enforcements, the Beers will
be driven back and the army scat.

have Maj. Blunt removed from his
position as commandant at Rock ISL

that the machinists do not know that
Congressman Prince is doing anything
of the kind, and what was published

any such n caper as has been attrib-

cheap playing to the gallery racket
tactics of the congressman. in lieu of
exerting an appreeiable influence in
the direction Of having an obnoxious

siderable purchases. Speculation in
wheat, which for a time depressed
prices, has also taken turn, and with
heavy exports the market tends up
ward again. The cotton movement is
not essentially speculative, but based
on reported injuries, and holds its ad-
vance. Meanwhile dispatches given
today from all parts Of the country
show extraordinary activity IN the
chief branches of trade, and bust
ness much larger than year ago in
nearly all. The heavy excess OF eX-
ports over imports continues, New

as well recognize that business is not
as a rule transacted without profit.

Ruling on Revenue Law.

The following ruling on the section
of the revenue law in reference to
stamps on renewals of prOmissory
notes will be of interest to many as
it is said that particularly in the case
of renewals compliance with the
conditions Of the law have been
generally neglected.
"In cases Of loans on real estate,
where pronlissory notes are given,
which are not paid at maturity, but
on which an extension of time of
payment is granted, without the tax
ing of a new note, it is held that
every such extension is renewal of
the note within the meaning OF the
statute, and that the requisite stamp
must be affixed for every such renewal
or extension. The rate is cents per
hundred or a fraction"

gets so cold that the wild inhabitants
of the woods come into the settle
mentS to get warm it is apparent that
the season is really a severe one.
News was brought here today from
Glover and the Flat Lake district by
hunters that the deer are coming into

run away when shots are fired at
them. Wolves are unusually bold and
savage, and it is reported that A.
Richardson, logger, was attacked
while on his way to his camp at Peli-
can. The thermometer during the
past four days has indicated as much
as 80 below zero and remained almost
stationary at that figure for five hours
