on the canal bill. but so far has appar-
emily not been successful in that direction.

There also Ii a notable disposition TO

Extra Session.

Sacramento, Cal, Jan. 23.-The governor has called an extra session of the legislature to convene on January %.
 Various rumors of British defeat in South Africa are again in circula- tion today, in which it is stated that the relief of Ladysmith has been abandoned by Butler, and that signal defeats have met General Warren on the right wing of the invading army.
 We have endeavored to trace these reports to some foun- dation. and by telegram from Los Angeles, as late as p. m., have been unable to have the news confirmed, the dispatch stating that all victor ies and defeats iu today's reports are but rumors from London. A big battle, however. is on along the Tugela.
