sages from thn front appear to confirm
the general impretsion that events in
Natal will now move quickly, though
hardly as rapidly tu tongu s and pens
of rumor-mongers. There is nothing uj)
to the present to eupport the storv that
the relief of Ladysmith is an accomp
lished fact, but it is learned on excellent
authority that the situation is now re-
yarded by tho war office with entire
coulidence, and that tho beleagured
town is considered practically relieved,
nltliniiL'b there is no attempt to under
rate the danger and ditliculty of General
Duller' taek.

Disease Has Ceased to Attract Muea
Attention
ONLY A FEW
SPORADIC CASES
Total was but 49, of Which 40 Proved
Fatal Much Interest Has Hcen
Aroused by Publication of Secret
Decree by Empress Dowager of
China.
Yokohama, Jan. 3, via San Francisco,
Jan. 10. The plague ceases to attract
much attention, only a few sporadic
cases showing themselves from time to
time, The whole numbor of cases thus
far thioughout the empire has been on
ly 40, of which 40 proved fatal, Tho
chief injury sustained has been to the
business Interests of Kobe, which has
suffered severely, and also by railway
companies, passenuer travel having been
greatly deterred by stringent quaran
tine regulations,
A lively interest has been aroused by
the publication of tho secret decree of
the empress dowager of China, in which
she shows a becoming appreciation of
the danger which threatens the empire
from foreign aggression, and holds the
provincial governors to etrict responsi
bility for immediate defense of their re
spective provinces, should attack bo
mado upon them.
''Tho various powers," she savf, "uie
casting upon us looks of tlger-liko vo
racity, hustling each other in t heir
endeavors to bo tho first to seize upon
our innermost territory. They think
that China, having neither money nor
troops, would never venture to to to
war with them."
Speculation is, of course, rife as to
what has Imppenod to In hit: out this
decree, eminently suggestive ns it is of
this stiffening of China's backbone, 1
Some attribute it to an understandinc
with Japan, it being repurted anew that
ex-Minister Yank Ib to return there as
Japanese adviser to the tsung-ll-yamaii.
Others seo in it an assurance gathered
from tho relations with the United
States government, which, it is thought
wero indications that tho new power in
the East has provided for tho protection
of its trade interests In China, by show
ing strong sympathy with the empire in
its present evil plight.

Will Go ! Court.
Washington, Jan. 18. lloberts of
Utah announces that he will light his
case in the courts if lie is donit-d a seat
as a member of the house. Huberts has
been making his contention on the
ground that the constitution prescribes
certain qualifications for a member, but
he ought to know that the same consti
tution allows the house to be the judge
of Hb own members, No court will un
dertake to set aside a decision of the
house on such a question, especially as
it would have no power to enforce it.
