More Atrocities in London Streets Than
 in Congo.


 London, Dec. 1S.-Mrs M. French Sheldon, an African explorer and au- thor, who has just returned from a tour of the Congo Free State, states that her assertion thae she had wit messed more atrocities in London streets than she had seen in the Congo should apply to the rubber country as well as to the rest of the state. She had, she says, travelled in every part of the country, King Leopold having accorded her complete freedom, and she was convinced that the allegations of maladministration were groundless and that it was quite false to say that King Leopold had sanctioned cruelty, Wher ever she went she found the natives treated with kindness and considera ticn, while the improvements in the condition of the land and it's inhabi- tants were almost incredible.
 Mrs. Sheldon endured great hardships in travelling and was often up to her waist in water. She is still suffering, from an. accident, but is determined to return to the Congo Free State when she recovers.

He will call on her again tomorrow to see if she is able to appear before Referee Reming- ton. The only other persons summoned in the bankruptcy hearing to give any information they may have of property owned by Mrs. Chadwick are Emil Hoover, Mrs. Chadwick's son, and her nurse, Freda Swanstorm.

 Mukden, Dec 1S.-Artillery fire still continues along the front of the Rus- sian army. It was particularly severe on December 15, when the Japanese made a demonstration against Russian advanced positions on the railroad.
 The Russian camps present pictur- esque appearance. The sides of the hills and the fields around the villages are dotted with mud hnts and little chimneys of dugouts from which smoke is rising. The huts for the enlisted men are well built, roorny, with small glass windows, and each is provided with a sheet iron stove.
 The transport service is working well. Large supplies of hay and grain are being brought from Manchuria by Wag- on loads. The stores in Mukden are well stocked, but prices are extremely high.
 There are in Mukden 2S000 Chinese refugees, who are being cared for by Chinese officials and missionaries. The feeding of these will become problem unless the Chinese are allowed to bring grain from northern granaries.
 The weather continues clear and cold. The lowest temperature yet reached is 10 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit.
