BANKRUPTCY LAW DECISION.
Preference Not Allowable Under Certain
Conditions.

Chicago, Jan. ga creditor, who
has within four months of his debtor
bankruptcy innocently received a pay
ment upon his debt. cannot be permit
ted to prove his debt in the bankruptcy
proceeding nor give from the estate OF
the bankrupt a dividend thereon, with
out surrendering the preference al
lowed. ruling to this effect has been
announced in the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals by Judges Woods,
Jenkins and Bum, and is said to es-
tsbliSh a new precedent for creditors
under the national bankruptcy act.
The decision was handed down In
the appeal of the Columbus Electric
company against Charles II. Worden,
trustee in bankruptcy Of the Fort
Wayne Electric corporation, sustaining
the district courts ruling that if the
claimant should fail to repay the 81
500 within thirty days, and allow the
full claim to be entered as unsecured,
then his claim was to be disaIlowed.
Judge jenkins, speaking for the United
States District Court of Appeals, said.
When you ask the court to give you
a further share Of the estate you must
be content to place yourself on an
equality with the other creditors, and
that can only be done by a surrender
of the preference"

LONDON, Jan. 26.--Advices have been
received FROM Spearman's camp that
General Woodgate has succumbed to
the wounds he received in the attack
upon Spion Kop.
LoSDoS, Jan. 28.--The war Office has
issued the following, dispatch from
Spearnan's Camp dated January Is at
1910 q. M:
General Warren's troops last night
occupied Spion Kop, surprising the
small garrison, who fed. 10 has been
held by us all day, though we were
heavily attacked, especially by very
annoying shell fire. i fear eur casual
tiles are considerable, and I have TO
inform you. with regret, that General
Woodgate was dangerously wounded.
General Warren Is Of the opinion that
he has rendered the enemy's position
untenable. Our men are in splendid
condition"
LONDON. Jan. 26.--General Buffers
phrase "the men are splendid" thrills
England with pride and confidence.
His taking and holding of spion kop
are considered permanent advantages.
Sir Charles Warren's opinion that miles
OF adjacent intrenchments are unten-
able is accepted by most expert OBJ
servers as obviously true, because of
the height of the position, although
some point out that it may lack ade-
quate gun platform to resist artillery
fire from the two extended lines. 1t
Is not likely that General Warren will
let go anything he holds, and news of
further success is calmly awaited.
The military authorities recognize. of
course, that in the twelve or fifteen
miles between Spion kop and Lady
smith there are continuous defensive
positions and rugged hills and ravines
which far outrange Spion kop, but
they are sure that the troops who have
turned the Beers out of difficult places
can do 1t again.

Gently connected with the Japanese
war department, who is travelling

added:
"All Japan asks of Great Britain as
an ally in war against Russ,- Is to
employ part of her feet in assisting
the Japanese feet to protect the ports

entire military strength to be used for
the recovery of Port Arthur, the occu-
patton of Mabchuria and the over
throw of Russias power in China. But
the first thing to be done is to free the
