sauit ON the Town.
London, Jan. 1o.--British hopes have
been revived by the news that General
Sir George White has successfully re-
PEELED vigorous and protraeted as
sault on Ladysmith. The enemy was
in great strength and pushed the at
tack with great courage and energy.
Some of the intrenchments on Wagon
Hill were three times taken by the
Beers and retaken by the British. One
point in the British works was occu-
pied all day by the Beers, who were
driven off, however, about 7 o'clock by
bayonet charge during fierce rain
storm. The Boer loss was heavy.
Notwithstanding the victory, the
fear is often expressed that the am
munition at Ladysmith is getting low
and it might be impossible to success
fully resist many such attacks.
General White has 5000 men at La
dysmith, and their capture would
prove an overwhelming disaster, and
leave the Beers now engaged at Lady
smith free to attack Butler.

ROOSEVELT ON TRUSTS.
Any Law. Even to Taking Away Their
Wealth, Would lie Welcomed.

New York, Jan. 10--Governor Roose-
velt recommends vigorous legislation
Tor the control of trusts. In his rec
concentrations to the legislature he
says:
The contrast offered in the highly
specialized industrial community be.
tween the very rich and the very poor
IS exceedingly distressing, and while
under normal conditions the acquire
ment of wealth by an individual is
necessarily of great incidental benefit
TO the community as whole. vet this
IS by no means always the case. In
our great cities there is plainly in evi-
dence much wealth contrasted with
much poverty, and some of the wealth
has been acquired or is used in a man
ner for which there is no moral iusti6.
cation. The chicanery, and the dis
honest, even though not technically
illegal methods, through which some
great fortunes have been made are
seandalous to our civilization. The
man who, by swindling or wrongdo-
ing, acquires great wealth, stands as
low morally as a malevolent and is a
more dangerous member of society.
Any law, and any method of constru-
ing the law, which will enable the
community to punish him, either by
taking away his wealth or by impris-
onment, should be welcomed. OF
course, such laws are even more needed
IN dealing with great corporations or
trusts than with individuals,
