MAP SHOWING SEAT OF WAR.
says: There was very heavy firing to
the north yesterday. l believe the
Beers are contesting General Buffers
passage of the Tugela. Howitzers
were evidently busy, as the firing is
described as the heaviest yet heard
In Natal"
The Exchange and Telegraph COM
patch, dated yesterday, from Pieter-
maritzburg: There is no news from
the front, but heavy firing was heard
4 today in the direction of Frere. 1t is
probable that General Butler is engag-
ing the enemy. A rumor is current
here that portion of the British
force is near Ladysmith."
Even rumors are no longer tele-
graphed from Natal. The conclusion
deduced from this silence by the mill
tary experts generally is that no de-
cisive blow has been struck either way,
as in such an event there would be no
necessity for silence.
The South African Cancellation COM
mittee, quietly formed to represent the
peace minority, announces itself to the
country today and asks for support.
Among the members are Lord and
Lady Coleridge, Herbert Spencer, Sir
Robert Threshie Reid, George John
Shaw-Lefevre. Frederic Harrison,
Stephen Gladstone, the Countess Of
Carlisle and other notable persons.
Leonard Courtney, Unionist member
Of parliament for the Bodmin division
of Cornwall, is president of the COM
mittee.
This movement should be distin-
guished from the "stop-the-war" group
Of extremists, of which William T.
Stead is the most active member. It's
program, summarized, Is to wait until
a proper opportunity arises for some
peaceable settlement. Meanwhile 1t
will gather and distribute correct In
formation and sound views. The man
ifesto afflrms that las the war was be-
gun amid Misunderstanding on both
sides a pacific settlement Is pc ible."
The yeomanry committee announces
that it has accepted 5000 out Of the
10000 which it wishes to raise, and
still has 10000 applicants to be ex-
amined. The Daily Chronicle asserts
llluL LIE wac EouuCu iAto
this statement by the reports that
there was no hope Of getting the full
number.
The Durham correspondent Of The
Standard deals today with the numer-
Gus reports that the Free Staters have
tired of the war and will abandon the
struggle as soon as the British cross
the border. He mentions an extraor-
binary story with reference to jour-
ney Of President Kruger's son-in-law,
Eoff, to Delagoa bay in a German
warship. According to this, Eloff has
been making arrangements for Presi-
dent Krugers escape through German
Damaraland in the event Of the cap
ture of Pretoria.
Another report is that council was
held recently at Bloemfontein at which
President Steyn and General Cronje
were present. 1t was then stated that
unless the British began the attack
by Jan. II the Free Skaters would re-
turn home.

WON'T COST THE CITY MUCH MORE.
EFFECTS OF CORPORATION CoUNsEL's RECENT
OPINION ON LABoRERs AND CIVIL
SERVICE Law.

Officials Of the city government said yesterday
that the recent opinion of Corporation Counsel
Whalen that the prevailing rate Of wages should
be paid to all engineers. mechanics and laborers in
the employ OF the city would not have the effect
increase city expenditures to the extent of 100000
Controller Coler said the prevailing rate of wages
had been paid such employees of the city in most
OF the departments for some time Mr.. Whalen
said he gave the opinion 20 settle a question which
was raised by the Civil Service Commissioners as
10 the right of the Commissioner Of Bridges to
the salaries of steam engineers from 81 $50
a year 10 S1277 80. the ground that under the
Civil Service regulations this increase pro-
motion and could not take place without examna-
ton.
The Corporation Counsel. however. has held that
the rule invoked by the Civil Service Commission
is in conflict with the labor law. and is invalid in
all cases where IL conflicts. He also holds that
the labor law should be literally construed IN favor
Of employees and that its spirit rather than its
letter should be followed
The conclusion is that mechanics. workingmen or
laborers in the city employment entitled TO the
prevailing rate OF wages in their respective en-
pigments without regard 70 limitations i'm
posed on them by the Civil Service rules
