WESTERN LINES ALSO.

Efforts Being Made to Get All the Rail
roads of the Country to Join.
CHICAGO, Jan. 20. The Tribune says:
III order to carry out their anti-commis-
sion agreement it is proposed now to
combine all the railroads in the country
in a big passenger pool and operate it in
such a way that each road will get an
agreed percentage Of the earnings. BY
such action no profit can accrue to any
of the roads from ignoring the agree
ment. Each road is to be allowed to
carry all the passengers it can secure,
but any road that should manage to get
more than its allotted proportion would
have its labor for its pains, as the profits
would 60 to the competing roads that
have failed to carry their proportion Of
the business.
The Eastern roads have all voted ia
favor Of this scheme and q committee Of
Western railroad executive officials is
now at work to get all the Western
lines into the com bination.

EXPECTS TO MOVE.

General Impression That Things at the
Front VIII Not Be Slow.
LONDON, jan. 20.-2:S8 p. m.-Mes-
sages from the front appear to confirm
the general impression that events in
Natal will now move quickly, though
hardly as rapidly as the tongues and
pens of ru1nor mongers. There is moth
ing up to the present to support the
story that the relief Of Ladysmith is an
accomplished fact, but it is learned on
excellent authority that the situation is
now regarded at the war Office in entire
confidence, and the beleagured town is
considered practically relieved, although
there is no attempt to underrate the
danger and difficulty Of General Buffers
task. AS suggested in these dispatches
General Warren was actually in the
vicinity of Acton Homes Wednesday,
and portion Of his force under Lord
Dunonald secured an important
position westward of that place, during
the evening of Jan. II, on the Boer's
right flank, threatening the Free Stat
er's communication with tkeir own
country, by way Of Van Reenan's IS pass
The British camp outside of Ladysmith
ought to be visible from there, as the in
tervening country is open.
Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett, M. P,
who has arrived at Rensburg, Cape
Colony, expresses satisfaction with
General French's disposition of his
troops. He visited Co1eskop Thursday,
while the shelling of the Boer camp was
proceeding with such success that it is
announced on good authority that 16
Beers and 36 horses were killed.
Advices from Cape Town say Webster
Davis, assistant secretary of the interior
at Washington, sailed from Port Eliza
beth Monday for Delagoa bay.
1t is understood the Imperial Yeo-
manry will be leavened before that force
goes to the front, with considerable de-
tachmsnts of experienced colonials ac-
quainted with Boer tactics.

LONDON, Jan. 20.-General Butler has

ming as follows: III. .,
"Lord Dundonald, with body Of
mounted troops, came into action this
afternoon with force Of Beers west of
Acton Homes. After fight he occu-
pied several kopjes, which he is still

Beers were killed and Is prisoners taken.
Two British soldiers killed and two

LONDON, Jan. 20.-It was rumored on
the Stock Exchange that after 18 hours
fighting, Ladysmith had been relieved,
and that General Warren had been
killed. Nothing was obtainable, how,
ever, tending to verify the rumor, and
it had no appreeiable effect on stocks.

SPEARMANs CAMP, Natal, Thursday,
Jan. 1s.-S:a5 p. m.-The Boer trenches
have been persistently shelled by naval
guns all day long. Small parties of
Beers are seen at intervals, and a large
force, from the direction of Ladysmith,
has been seen trekking towards the
northwestward British position. Bal
loon did good service in observing.
Lyttleton's force made demonstration
in the direction of the Brakefontein
kopjes, four miles north of the British
position, under cover of heavy ar
tilery fire, to which the Beers did not
respond. On the left, General War

two prominent kopjes, behind Spion
Kop. There was some Boer sniping,
but it was ineffective. The Graafrienet

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.--tatEWar between
Russia and Japan is looked for as inevi-
table by the naval officers Of the coun-
tries who have been nearest the probable
scene Of future operations" said Lieu
tenant W. Ronanof Of the imperial
Russian navy, who arrived in Chicago
during the day. The lieutenant has just
completed three years cruise in Asi-3
attic waters on the Russian battleship
Sissoiveliky and is now on his way to
St. Petersburg. He continued:
"Just how soon such war may begin
it is difficult to say, but events little
short of miraculous must occur to avert
it. The Japanese are building warships
as rapidly as possible in anticipation of
the outbreak of hestilities and Russia is
strengthening her navy as fast as she
can. That Russia
&s|a Must Have a Naval Base
between Port Arthur and Vladivostock
is conceded and that she will try to get
one in Korea is certain. In the event of
such a war it is considered probable in
Russian naval circles that Russia will
have the aid Of Germany and that Eng
land will take the other side. European
war will follow the outbreak Of hostii-
ties between Russia and Japan.
"The movement of Russian troops to-
ward the Afghanistan and British India
borders, the mobilization of transcas-
plan troops at Baku and Herat and
other military maneuverings on the
part of Russia are taken by official Rus
sia to mean the beginning of move.

Big Battle Near Ladysmith Momentarily
,< .4a as-.s Expected. ,asErsE ~
LONDON, Jan. 20.-Miitary critics in
connection with the war Office consider
that the expected battle along the wide
arc south and east Of Ladysmith can
hardly be delayed another "a hours.
From Durham it is reported that fight
ing has already begun. M .~'a% .5. @
General Buffers forces engaged in the
Ranking operation across, the Tugela are
some $4,000 or $4,000 bayonets 1900
horse and 40 guns. The disposition of
his other $1,000 or 10000 men is not
known, although the assumption is that
the whole army will be in action when
the hour for combined movement ar
riyes.
Three weeks ago General Butler had
30,000 men. Considerable reinforce
ments have since reached him, giving
him probably $4,000 men and 80 guns,
all told. Estimates Of how many men
and guns the Beers have to oppose him
are mere guess work. ..s..=5. 49,.
In not replying to General Lyttleton' s
shells the Beers are using the tactics
that proved SO successful in the battles
Of Magersfontein and Colenso, 2~.
/ 44 Lying Low in Their Trenches
and thus hoping to conceal their posi-
ton until the infantry advances. 81.
The Daily Chronicles military expert
sees a curious analogy between General
Buffers situation now and the eve Of
Magersfontein. Now, as then, the Beers
are making stand with their backs to
investing lines within few miles. Lord
Methuen, crossing Modder river, had to
attack the Spytfontein and Magersfon-
tein hills, SO General Butler, after pass
ing the Tugela, faces invisible entrench-
ments in rough country. +.
| The importance Of the situation in
Natal makes other points in the theater
of war seem microscopic. Lord Methuen
is erecting works at Modder River. It
is expected his force will have to be
nearly, if not quite doubled before he
can relieve Kimberley. So,
British reinforcements are moving to-
ward General French at Rensberg.
With these he is expected to advance.

slight advance:
