THREE SCORE DEAD.

Believed Not a Soul Escaped From the
Wreck Off St Johns, N. F.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., Jan. 15.-At least
go people perished by the wreck of the
unknown steamer which went on the
rocks five miles off this point Thursday
The ship is s-masted steamer of nearly
5000 tons and probably carried crew
of go, with possibly some passengers.
Many dead bodies are visible tossing
in the surf. Two of them, thrown up
in cove, cannot be reached owing to
the heavy sea. One is judged to be
that of a woman. Boats and Other
wreckage are strewn among the rocks
for miles.
Residents along the shore madeevery
possible effort to rescue the survivor in
the rigging, but lacking proper outfit
they were unable to succeed. There is
not the slightest prospect that anyone
on board escaped death, as the intense
cold would kill anyone who escaped
drowning.

LONDON. Jan. 15.-An absolute veil

1t the theatre of war, and the country
IS in complete ignorance of what is hap
Dening. Further news of General Bull
ler's movements are waited with eager
mxiety. ... .sa
RENsBURG, Cape Colony, Jan. ia
strong force of British troops advanced
during the morning under cover of a
brisk artillery fire and encamped at
6lingersfontein, on the Beers eastern
flank. The Boer patrols retired, but
subsequently body of Beers attempted
to seize the position, threatening COM
munication between the British en-
campment and Rensburg. The New
Zealanders, with brilliant dash, frus-
trated the attempt. They raced and
seized the position first and fired volleys
at the enemy, who retired IN the direc-
tion of Colesburg. .a.
VIENNA, Jan. 15.-The Neue Freie
Presse publishes dispatch from Brus-
sells, saying news has been received
there from Pretoria to the effect that
the Beers have stormed all the heights
around Ladysmith and that the capitu-
lation Of that place is hourly expected.
It is possible that the news received
In Vienna, by way of Brussels from
Pretoria, may refer to the fighting of
Saturday last. Jan. +, when the Beers
captured the British trenches three
times and were thrice driven out at the
point of the bayonet, and the fact that
the Beers occupied one British position

PULLMANS MUST PAY.
New York Inheritance Tax Decision Il
Ahhrmed.


AHdrmed.
NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The appellate
division of the supreme court handed
down decision written by Judge Pat
terson regarding the inheritance tax to
be paid on that portion of the estate of
the late George M. Pullman of Illinois
actually within the state of New York.
In bonds, stocks and on deposit in
trust company this property amounted
to $744, lS1, and the surrogate held that
the whole of it was subject to the
transfer tax. Some of the heirs APP
pealed, claiming that, as Mr.. Pullman
owed more than $500. 900 to persons and
corporations in New York, none OF the
property found here should be taxed.
The former decision holds, however,
that an indebtedness was general
against the whole Of the estate, the
assets Of which were three times the
liabilities

Usual Quietness in Demand at This
Season Noted.
NEW YORK, Jan. n.15.-Bradstreets says:
Quietness as to demand, but marked
steadiness as to prices, is still the lead
ing feature in trade lines, a condition,
it must be remarked, not uncommon at
this stage Of the year, which is sort
of middle ground between stock taking
and inventory time and the actual
opening Of the spring season.
Aggressive strength in prices is con-
fined to few staples, such as pork
products, tallow, cotton seed oil and
similar products. Raw and refined
sugars have both been advanced this
week and quite furry in coffee oc-

ter for Recent Services.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 15.-The czar
has addressed rescript to Count Mu-
ravief, the minister of foreign affairs,
highly eulogistic of the eminent quail
ties displayed by the minister in bring
ing about happy solution, in con-
formity with the czar's instructions, of
the disquieting political events arising
from the Cretan insurrection and the
Turko- Greek war, thus showing true
appreciation of the historic mission
which has fallen to the lot of Russia.
After remarklng that the introduction
of an autonomous administration in
Crete ended the agitation which had SO
long troubled the repose of the Turkish
East, while the maintenance of friendly
relations with all the powers showed
the fruitful influence of Russia's peace
ful and continuous policy, the rescript
proceeds: ,
"Appointed guardian of the most i'm
portant interest Of the state you have
co-operated, while conforming exactly
with the indications gave you, in the
realization of the traditional tendency
of Russia to obtain in the far East an
ice-free outlet to the sea. The agree
ment arrived at with the government
of China, relative to the cession in
usufruct of the Kwang-Tung peninsula,
with Ports Arthur and Dalmy, while
testifying to the reciprocal friendship
and confidence which exists between
the two great neighboring empires, full
fills the evident necessities of Russia as a
maritime power and will create in the
Pacific a new centre for the commercial
and industrial enterprises of the entire
world. The negotiations subsequently
undertaken under my direction with the
British and Japanese governments led
to the conclusion of partial understand
ings, which by removing any reasons
for misunderstandingsi in the political
domain, enable Russia to devote her
strength to the progressive develop
ment Of the prosperity of her possessions
in the far East. ,@1 HH .s-.@
cording among the services you have
rendered the efforts and care you have
consecrated to the fulfllment of my
most inmost desire to assure to all peo-
Piles the benefits of real and durable
peace. The results of the labors
of the conference at The Hague
give me steadfast hope that solid
bases have been established
for the realization of aims dear to my
heart ALI the powers had recognized
the possibility of generally settling this
question, I recall with real pleasure
your eminently useful labors and devo-
tion to the throne and I appreciate the
assistance you have rendered in in
creasing the prestige of Russia by your
brilliant execution of my directions
and views, with the object of securing
pacific settlement of the complex
problems of external policy.
~ regard it, therefore, as an agreea-
BILE duty to express to you my cordial
gratitude and I remain ever your in
variably we'll disposed and sincerely
grateful. NICHOLAS"

FIERCE CRITICISM.
British Public Greatly Stirred Over the
Conduct of the War.

British Public Greatly Stirred Over the
Conduct of the War.
LONDON, Jan. Is. The time has come
when the people of Great Britain no
longer keep silent regarding the mis-
management of the war. The food
gates of criticism have been opened,
and under the stream Of adverse COM
ment pouring forth regulations are
whiting. The stern upbraiding of the
government by papers that almost for a
century have been conservative has
already been touched upon in these dis
patches. Abuse of the war Office has
always existed, and now it is only few
degrees more bitter than it was before.
What chiefly marks the passing of the
British from a period of passive dis.
contentment to most severe fault-fnd-
ing is the outspoken abuse of their gen.
erals in the field.
Fierce Service Jealousies.
There are unpleasant stories of fierce
service jealousies. In short, all the
army's shortcomings, which have been
secretly whispered in clubs, are this
week finding their place in print, and
not in disreputable journals, but in or
gans that a month ago would have
fiercely denounced such tales as unpa-
triotic whether they were true or other
wise. 1t is now we'll know that Gen
eral Butler despises Field Marshal Lord
Roberts and hates General Lord Kitch-
ener; that Lord Wolseley, the COM
mander-in-chief, shares General Bull
ler's feelings, and that Wolseley is
scarcely on speaking terms with the
secretary of state for war, Lord Lans-
downe.
One paper, usually well informed on
service matters, declares it quite likely
that General Butler will throw up his
command and come home, and be a
thorn in the side of the government.
This is probably an exaggeration, but it
is admitted on all sides that he is likely
to make himself as disagreeable as pos
sible to Lord Roberts.
Generals White, Clery, Gatacre and
French all come in for their share of
abuse, and there is evidence presented
that the service generals are divided
among themselves. EH
H. Kit of London voluntesr.
Is What is being forced upon the war
Office is that 100 colonials accustomed
| to bushwhacking, cow-punching and
scouting are worth 1000 English clerks
and farmers. To find instances of the
appalling impracticability distinguish.
ing the formation of Great Britain's ir-
regular corps, it is only necessary to
read the list of the kit being taken out
by the City of London volunteers. The
officers of this body carry to the plains
of South Africa, an air pillow, cork
mattress, canvass bucket, a tin box of
candles, a lantern, filter and a host
Of other impediments that an American
officer would burn before starting on a
ten miles march, while the men are
laden down with four pairs of pants,
four pair Of shoes, three caps, pajamas,
two large Turkish towels, filter, a
clothes brush, a writing portfolio and
other such articles. No wonder the
British forces are not mobile.

Brief Dispatch Interpreted to Mean He

LONDON, Jan. 15.-General Buffers
% words announcing his forward move
ment of Thursday is interpreted as
meaning that he has passed around the
western end of the Boer lines at Colenso
and is now several miles beyond them
and II miles from General Whites out
posts at Ladysmith. The Beers few
Gays ago had forces with guns at
Springfield, whence Butler sent his dis
patch. These commandos have been
obviously dislodged either by fighting
or by maneuvers. the Beers retiring
across the Tugela as General Butler ad-
vanced. t-e-- 49, ~. 49,
From General Buffers dispatch,
coupled with the fact that official intel
igence from the seat of war has vir-
tually ceased since Monday, the deduc-
tion is drawn that important operations
are in progress, as he cannot move far
without going against the Boer en-
trenchmenJs. ,v&& +&' ~
Disease Worse Than Bullets.
The death lists from enteric fever and
dysentery at Ladysmith, averaging
about 80 daily, are considered more Sc

days fighting, as they show the unsan-
itary condition ofthe beleageured town.
A letter from Ladysmith dated Dec.
6 said that even then 80 men out of the
battalion of which the writer was a
member were sick with either dysen-
terry or enteric fever and according to a
dispatch to The Daily Chronicle dated
Jan. s the patients and attendants in
Tom bige camp, where the hospital is,

Evelyn was thinking of look she had
seen in Ronald Fanshaw's eyes as they
sat alone that morning.
AT this juncture the couple saw Capt.
