Mayor vetoes ! Resolution Passed ~
"a ploying Lindbeigh q Blanchard
+: .sSs9: Special Counsel. III & iss

At the regular NEE ting Of the city
council last week that body voted
to employ Lind bergh & Blanchard
as special counsel to- collect certain
money for the city. II was not
stated what the collections were to
be. II was known then or later that
the law firm desired authority to an
tempt to collect from thess county
treasurer the nalties and INTEREST
that had been paid to the county
treasurer on taxes on city pr perty.I
The general law. provides chat;
money received for penalty and in-
terest shall become part Of the county
revenue fund But the city charter,
which ise a law passed by the legislar
5ture, provides that the penalty andin.
terest collected on city taxes shall be-
paid over to the city treasurer. It
seems that this was not known by
the city or county officials, and the
money had always been retained by5
the county. Lindbergh s. Blanch.
ard discovered this provision in the
charter, and believed that there was
a chance to collect this money from
the county for the city. SO a prop
'osition. was made to the council
and accepted. The legal firm has
already made an application for the
funds, and will probably begin q
law suit soon. 1t is considered a
question whether the mayors sigma
.ture was necessary to the agreement
made between the council and firm.
But when the matter comes before
the city council again it is possible
that some other, and entirely salts
factory agreement may be made to
have the attorneys go ahead and
attempt to collect the money. @
The resolution was submitted to
the mayor for his approval, and ye-
toed on the grounds that it was tod
inditinite, and also that: if the
amount recoverable from the
county was as large as reported,
one-third was too large a share for
the work and expense OF collecting

LONDON, Jan. 3o--1he Times in an edi-
torial comment on the forecast of the
Queens speech, says: 1T is satisfactory
to know that further provision will be
made for increasing the efficiency of the
navy, duty enjoined by the undisguised
hostility of foreign opinion. Obviously it
will be practically out of the question to
introduce and measure of domestic reform
involving large expenditures
The Times severely reproaches the oppo-
sition for Opening the floodgates of con-
troversy" by the Fitzmaurice amendment,
which ii declares can dono good at the
present juncture. 1t says: I'VE hope it is
not too late for the opposition to reconsider
this decision No national benefit of any
kind could possibly balance the mischief
to be done by such a display of divided
counsels in the face of the country's ene-
mics. There is much I'm the conduct OF the
government calling for criticism; but this

access to the summit.
The mex was strongly held by the Beers.
who also occupied a heavy spur parallel
with the kopje where the enemy was con-
cealed in no fewer than thirty-hve rifle pits
and was thus enabled to bring to bear upon
our men a damaging cross-fre, the only
possible point for a British attack being
the Southern side, with virtually sheer
precipices on the left and right.
A narrow footpath. admitting men In

a perfectly fat tableland. probably of three
hundred square yards area. on which the
Beers had hastily commenced to make a
transverse trench. Our men were able to
occupy the farther end Of this tableland,
where the ridge descended to another fat,
which was again succeeded by round,
stony eminence held by the Beers in
great strength.
1.-The ridge held by our men was faced
by a number of strong little kopjes at all
angles, whence the Beers sent a concen-
trated fire from their rifles, supported by
Maxim -Nordenfeldt and big long-range

guns and the big gun the summit was con-
verted into a perfect hell. The shells ex-

rife fire, from an absolutely unseen enemy,
was perfectly appalling.
"Reinforcements were hurried up by Gen.
Warren, but they had to cross a stretch
of fiat ground which was literally torn
up by the flying lead of the enemy. The
unfinished trench on the summit gave very
questionable shelter, as the enemy's ma

LONDON, Jan. 80, S a. H.
A list of casualties among the Of
ficers in the Fifth Division of Bull
er's army was the only important
information given out by the War
Office last night. A brief report
from Lord Roberts said the situa-
tion in South Africa was un-
changed. There has been no con-
firmation of the rumor that Lady
smith has been abandoned, and the
War Office denies the report in cir
culation yesterday that the town
had capituiated. The casualties
of the British army in the fighting
on Spion kop are not yet known,
but it is not believed they will
reach 1900 killed, as reported by
the Beers. The loss of the latter
is said to have been 500 killed and
wounded.
The Lisbon correspondent of the
Standard, says: II hear that the
indemnity to be awarded Great
Britain III the Delagoa bay arbitra-
tion will be so large that Portugal
will be obliged to make over the
railway and the port of Lourenzo
Marques to the British govern
ment." If this should prove to be
true, the war would soou end, for
Great Britain would invade the
Transvaal by way of Delagoa bay.

MUST FACE THE DISASTER.
Spencer Wilkinson Reviews the Stu
afion i'm SOuth Afrfca.

LONDON. Jan. SO.-Mr. Spencer Wilkin-
son in the Morning Post says: Defeat is
bitter. But IL is right TO face ii and to
take reasonable means to turn II TO vic
tory. 1t Is wrong TO conceal it from our
selves. The initiative is now again with
the Boer commander and the question is,
what will he do next? He will either act
against Ladysmith or against General
Butler. In the latter case, pursuit would be
useless, for when the British force is once
across the river again II would be imprac-
ticable. as a small rear guard could prevent
pursuit. Much more probable would be an
attack on Chievely before tie return OF the
main body. Either that or a fresh assault
on Ladysmith may be recorded in day or
two"
Mr.. Wilkinson then proceeded to point
out the groundlessness OF fears that STRAIT
egic suggestions made in England might
