*eports, Though Meager, Indicate Heavy
British Losses.
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.
LONDON, Jan. 2o.-The war Office has
issued the following dispatch from
Spearman's Camp dated January rs At
1910 a. M:
General Warren's troops last night
occupied Spion Kop, surprising the
small garrison, who fled. 1t has been
held by us all day, though we were
heavily attacked, especially by very
annoying shell fire. l fear our casual
tiles are considerable, and l 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 ravincs
which far outrange Spion kop. but
they are sure that the troops who have
turned the Beers out of difficult places
can do it again.

ALARMING TO THE BRITISH.

Congress Said to BE Prepared to ignore
the Clayton Bulwsr Treaty.
LONDON. Jan. 2l.-The Daily Chron.
!cle says editorially today:
"According to advices we have re-
ceived from Washington, a canvass Of
the scnate and house OF representatives.
has placed 1t beyond dispute that con-
gress will not only pass the Nicaragua
canal bill, but will pass it in form
directly at variance with the Clayton
Bulwer treaty. This is statement Of
decidedly serious Importance. and we
hesitate to believe that the United
States government will commit itself
to a course which this country would
have regarded as unfriendly.

Agreement Regarding China Has Been
Reduced to Definite Notes.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25.-The success
of the negotiations instituted by Sec
rotary Hay with view ofinsuring the
"open door" for American trade in
China. may now be regarded as asSur-
ed. The last phase of the negotiations
was the reduction of the arrangements
reached informally to the shape of
what are known as definite notes.
This work has been going on for some
weeks, with the result that every one
of the powers that participated in the
negotiations has returned to the state
department the written agreement,
with the exception of Japan and Italy.
There is not the slightest doubt in
csc cases, for Japan was one of the

GENERAL HARRISON
Lectured 10 the Students League Of Mlchl-
gan University.
BY Associated Press.

Ann Arbor. Mich, Dec. 14.-General
Harrison delivered lecture this eve.
ming before the Students League Asso-
citation of Michigan University on 'The
Relation of the Annexed Territories
and Their Civilized Inhabitants to the
United States"
The lecturer declared that we are
something out of line with our histor-
ical rrecedents-not IN the fact of eX-
pansion, but in the character of it. He
said that we have taken over peoples,
rather than islands, as heretofore. He
held that the civilized inhabitants of
territories are citizens of the United
States and that the revenue provisions
of the constitution relating to taxation
for federal purposes apply to the terri
tories.
The occasion for the recent depart
ure from precedent is found. he said,
especially in the character of the in
habitants of the Philippines AS to
Porto Rico and Hawaii there would
probably have been no occasion tor
treating them otherwise than we usu-
ally have done Competition of our
home products, and especially the free
dom of the Filipinos, to settle in the
states are causes for alarm. These
considerations, he said, might very ap-
propriately have had influence when
the question of taking over the Philip
pines was before us, but it is now too
late.
He argued that the provisions of the
Spanish treaty and of all treaties are
subject to the constitution and can
not impair it, and if these islands are
to become a part of the United States
in the sense of the constitution their
people become citizens, and the reve-
nue. clause which is especially under
discussion in the Porto Rican case ap-
plied. He argued that the limitations
of the constitution upon the powers
of Congress, whether expressed in the
affirmative or negative form, Apply 10
the exercise of that power in all
places; that the very object in the sec
ton requiring duties to be uniform
throughout the United States (Which
was to prevent Congress from estab-
fishing any where uDder the jurisdic-
ton of the United States favored
ports) would be thwarted if foreign
goods might be admitted to Porto
Rico free. and thence into the United
States free.
He especially dwelt upon the liberty
clauses of the constitution as necessar-
lily applicable to all civilized peoples
owing allegiance to the United States.
