Such a Report Circulated on
the London Stock Exchange
Battle Lasted Eighteen Hours General
Warren Said to Have Been Killed.
Story Not Confirmed.

London, Jan. 19.-It was rumored on
the stock exchange this morning that
after eighteen hours lighting Ladysmith
had been relieved and that General
Warren had been killed. Nothing was
obtainable, however, tending TO verify
the rumor and 1t had no appreciable ef-
feet on stocks.
WILL MOVE QUICKLY.
A later dispatch says messages from
the front appear to confirm the gem
eral impression that events in Natal
will now move quickly though hardly
as rapidly as the tongues and pens oS
the rumor mongers. There is nothing up
to the present TO support the story that
the relief of Ladysmith is an accom-
plished fact. But 1t is learned on excel
lent authority that the situation is now
regarded at the war office with entire
confidence and that the beleaguered
town is considered practically relieved,
although there is no attempt to under
rate the danger and difficulty of Gener-
al Buffers task.

BEGINNING OF THE BATTLE
When the call for communicating
was ID ade the fun began, the several
anticipated petitions promptly appear
ing. The frst was that of the South
west Telegraph & Telephone COM
pany. IL stated that the new cleo
trio light company was placing lis
wires 20 as to interfere with the oper-
alton and repair OF their lines ana In
some places coming in direct consscs
with them. The wires OF the new
company would carry a current OF 22SO
volts and by coming in contact
with the telephone lines would send .
current over them into the homes OF
patrons and into the central ofice OF
the company, endangering the lives
of patrons and employees and causing
grave danger OF fire. The company
disclaimed any intention OF interfering
with the proper construction OF the
new company's line but said that As
the city had power to regulate the
matter the telephone company would
hold 1t responsible for any trouble re-
sulting.
The protest failed to raise the slight
est ripple of disturbance and without Q
word of discussion or debate 1t WAS re-
ferred to the fire and water commit
tee. The old electric light company .
protest Immediately followed and
shared the same fate. II was based
upon much the same allegations as the
telephone company's.
A VERBAL PROTEST.
B.F. Hammett had another kick
against the company He said that
the wires in front of the D r. Francis
and Pierson hotels were SO low as to
endanger the lives of people on she bal
comics of the hotel, especially children
playing there.
Attorney Leigh Clark. of the Inter-
national Light & Power company, said
that the company had already agreed
to N AXE within a reasonable time any
changes that might oe desired. More
over he said there would be no danger
whatever In touching the wires charg
ed with an electric current unless the
circuit were completed. Ii it was
Otherwise no wires could be strung in
any large city. The matter was then
allowed TO drop. Two petitions for
sewer extensions were referred to the
city engineer.
The petition to change the name OF
Utah street between San Antonio and
Overland streets was denied.
