Paris, Jan. 23-Mr. Macrum continues to take
particular pains not to dispel the mystery which
the Paris papers attach to his journey. DR..
Leyds. President Krtger's diplomatic represen-
tative in Europe. arrived in Paris from Brussels
at a late hour last night, and at the house of
common friend told me to-day that he not
aware Of any extraordinary mission which had
been intrusted to Mr.. Macrum. He said that he
had met the ex-Consul at Pretoria but had not
him here in Paris.
The Paris papers publish this morning the
statement cabled from Washington. that Mr..
Macrum being no longer in the consular service
has received no instructions from the Govern
ment regulating his attitude toward newspaper
correspondents. I showed this dispatch to Mr.
Macrum to-day. and when pressed by inquiries
he said; II still in the United States con-
sular service; certainly have received no init
nation to the contrary"
When urged to give explicit information
as to the nature of his instructions, and to say
from whom they emanated. Mr.. Macrum finally
admitted that he had received such instruc-
tions from Washington. but said that under
the circumstances silence is dictated to me by
common sense"
He said that all funds received at the United
States Consulate at Pretoria up TO the time of
his departure, which had been sent from London
to British prisoners, had been distributed to
them When he was asked why assuming that
his mission to Washington was Of such urgency,
he did not take passage the North German
Lloyd liner Saale. which will leave Southamp-
ton Wednesday evening, instead of waiting
until Saturday to sail on the st. Paul from Cher
bourg. Mr.. Macrum replied that coming from
the hot African climate, he wished to get warm
winter clothes for himself and his family before
going to New-York
He wears miniature South African Republic
flag in his buttonhole, and still maintains
a sphinxlike silence in regard TO the reasons for
his repeated requests to be relieved of his du-
ties at Pretoria. 1t is obvious that II Mr. Ma
crum really has any extraordinary message for
President Mckinley such message has al
ready been cabled in State Department cipher
from the Embassy at Rome or Paris.

AN UNEXPECTED MESSAGE
RULERS ACCOUNT OF MORE FIGHTING
NORTH OF TUGELA

London, Jan. 24.-Contrary to the announce
ment made shortly before midnight by the War
Office that nothing further would be issued
until Wednesday forenoon, the following dis
patch from General Butler, dated at Spearman's
Camp, January %, $40 p. m, has just been
posted:
Warren holds the position he gained two days
ago. In front of him, at about 400 yards. is
the enemy's position west of Spion Kop. It
is on higher ground than Warren's position, so
it is impossible to see into it properly.
It can only be approached over bare, open
slopes, and the ridges held by Warren
steep that guns cannot be placed them. but
we are Smelling the enemys position with how
itzers and field artillery, placed on lower ground
behind infantry.
The enemy is replying with Creusot and other
artillery In this duel the advantage rests with
us, as we appear to be searching his trenches.
and his artillery fire is not causing much loss
An attempt will be made tonight to seize
Spion Kop the salient of which forms the left
of the enemy's position facing richards Drift.
and which divides it from the position facing
Potgieter's Drift. 1t has considerable command
over all the enemy's intrenchments.

THE OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.
SUCCESS OF SECRETARY HAYS NEGOTIA-
TIONS ASSURED.

Washington, Jan. 2}.-The success of the
negotiations instituted by Secretary Hay with
a view to insuring the open door, for Ameri
trade in China may be regarded
sured. The last phase OF the negotiations was
the reduction of the arrangements reached in
formally to the shape of what are known as
defnitive 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 this
written agreement with the exception of Japan
and Italy There is not the slightest doubt in
these cases. for Japan was one of the first of
the nations approached by the United States
to welcome the overtures, while Italy volun-
tarily entered the negotiation without waiting
for advances from the United States The nom
receipt Of their formal undertakings is believed
to be due 10 a delay in the mails. for intimations
have been given to the effect that they have
already been dispatched.

another man, who got il from the Carnegie
people. At the office of John c. Sheehan No.
253 Broadway. it was said yesterday that Mr.
Sheehan also had an option with the Carnegie
company for steel enough to construct the tun-
mel This option had been secured two years
ago and does not expire for two years yet. 1t
had been made at the price prevailing two years
ago. Since Mr.. Sheehan decided not to bid for
the road the option has been for sale, but is not
sold yet, II was said.
Those who doubt the story of the unlimited
option say 1t is not at all likely that so large
a contract could have been made without Mr..
Carnegie's knowledge. or that the officials of
that concern would have assumed future Obliga-
tions so heavy. 1t Is recalled also that Freder
ick B. Esler, of the Metropolis Contract Com
pany, was reported to have had exactly such
contract with the Carnegie company. and that
the story was denied at the Carnegie offices.
