AGAINST THE SOUTHERN.

In the United States Supreme Court
in Washington yesterday q decision
was handed down by Justice Harlan in
a case involving the question OF the
right of preference over the mortgage
holders of insolvent railroads by the
creditors of such roads whose debts are
contracted in connection with the cur.
rent conduct of the roads.
The case was that of the Southern
Railway Company vs.. the Carnegie
Steel Company. This suit involved az
Indebtedness contracted by the Rich.
mond and Dsnville Railroad COMPANY.
whose property was subsequently alb
sorbed by the Southern, 10 the Carnt
gle Company for two purchases of steel
rails made oy the railroad company
within year prior to the appointment
of receiver OF the Danville COMPANY.
The Carnegie Company asserted that
this condition of affairs gave it an
equitable lien and a preference over
mortgage creditors, because the indebtedness
was contracted in the operation of the road
and was Therefore, p'rt of its running ex-
peoses. The United States Circuit Court of
appeals accepted this view of the case, and
Justice Harlsn's opinion sustains that view,
affirming the decree Of the lower court.

TUESDAY EVENING, JAN 80, 1900

REPUBLICATION Ofan al eyed con-
fession" of an ex-member of the Span
ish secret service, that he took part with
other Spaniards in the destruction OF the
Maine, is certainly little remarkable
in view of what Professor Goodwin
Smith says of the loss of the ship re-
ferred to, which is as follows:
"There are few things more certain
tba,; that the Maine Was blown up
hy th., ignition of coal in her bunkers.
The sane accident has happened to
three American vessels since, one OF
them commanded by the same captain
Of the Maine, though in these cases the
vessels were saved. Nothing is more
certain than that the Maine was not
blown up by the Spaniards."
All of which makes il the more neces-
sarv for bis own, and the reputation OF
the American navy, that President Nc
Kinley should have the sunken ship
raised, so that all the world may know
to whom her less may be justly and
definitely attributed.

that 10 resisting the INVASION OF our

the spontaneous loyalty with which my

London Opinion.

London, Jan. 30.-Up to noon today
no further news had been received
from Gen. Butler and it il believed that
some time will elspse before he will
again record his movements. Mean
while the opinion prevails that Butler,
after recrossing the Tugela, started
eastward for his old base at Cheveley,
there to formulate new plans for attack
or TO arrange for the abandonment OF
the Ladysnith campaign. 1t is now
feared that the Beers will anticipate
Buffers eastward movement to his
base by a sudden attack Oh Cheveley
itself, which is held by only n moderate
force under General Barton. Butler
would thus be hemmed in between the
river at his rear and the Beers on HE
front, and with his cumbersome trans
portation and heavy artillery, his posi-.
ZION on the rough road from Spring
field to Cneveley would be dangerous
If not desperate.
A member of the House Of Lords
who is close TO the ministry said today
that the government had decided that
Ladysmiih must DO abandoned. This
decision would be announced tomOr-
row, he said, unless the temper of Par

OF Russian gentlemen, who, when trav-
cling through the forests, are sometimes

THE PRESIDENTS supporters say it
would be contrary to the principles OF
the government if he should offer his
services to Great Britain as mediator
between her and the South African re-
publics, as such an offer would be inter

all the same, if he interferred with the
affairs of Spain, to the extent OF going

THE WARM AFRICA.

IT is not believed in London that General
Buffers army will undertake any more az.
gressive operations at present. Butler, it is
thought, must devote the next few days to
saving his line Of retreat. The problem to be
faced is, shall another attempt be made to
rescue the LABYRINTH garrison, or shall Gen.
Whites troop, be left to their late and an ad-
vance on Bloemfontein be made? There is
believed to be little hope of reaching Lady
smith even should another effort be made.
1t is even reported that Lori Roberts has
advised the abandonment OF the Lsdysmith
garrison to its fate. Combining the forces
under Generals Methuen, French and Gaia
ere and adding to them the arriving troops,
Lord Roberts would have about 10000 for
the invasion of the Free State, with 10000
guarding communications and $4,000 still
trying to rescue Lsdysmitli.

THE TROUBLES of Mr.. Mckinley are
increasing. The consul of his new ally,
England, at New Orleans, has been
criticising the American people, who,
he imagiues, are those Of the North,
and, under compulsion of those of that
section, he will probably be forced TO
demand his recall, and thus give addi-
tional umbrage to his most cherished
nation. The attempted bulldozing of
Mr.. McKinley's administration has
alieuated the feelings of nearly all the
other foreign countries, except Eng
land, and if she shall now turn against
it, his greatness will have departed.
