LONDON, Jan. 21. (Sunday. 4:30
a. m. J. It is evident, from Oeneral
I'.uller dispatch to the war office, and
advices to the Associated rress Irom
Spearman's Camp, that a big battle is
now being fought.1 As far as can be
gathered from these dispatches the. re
sult remains undecided, and, unless the
Boers withdraw during the night, the
engagement on which hangs the fate
of Ladysmith and which may prove to
be the turning point of the whole war,
will be resumed this morning. )
The war office, shortly after midnight,
posted the following dispatch 1 from
General Duller, dated Spearman's
Camp, January 20th, evening:
"General Oery with a part of Genert
al Warren's force, has been irl action
from 6 a. m. till 7 p. m. today. By a
judicious use of his artillery lie has
fought his way up, capturing ridge af
ter ridge for about three miles. The
troops are now bivouacking on the
ground he has gained, but the main
force is still in front of them, f The
casualties were not' heavy. About 100
wounded had. been brought in by 6:30
p. m. The number killed is not yet as
certained. ; !

were presented to the house today. The
majority report; signed by Chairman
laylor and six of his associates, is a
voluminous document, and is accom

facts bearing on the case. It gives de
tails of the hearing, the ample-oppor
tunities attorued Kooerts to present
his case, his refusal to testify and the
unanimous finding of facts heretofore
published. The majority report finds
three distinct grounds of disqualification
against Roberts:
First By reason of his violation of
the h-dmunds law.
Second Bv .reason of his violation
of the law of the land, of .decisions of

DUMAS' KEEN EYE FOR BUSI-
. t NESS.S " ,
In the Quarterly's article on "Scotit
ana His French. Pupilsj," the following
tly is given ot uumis' methodical
an1 keen eye for business:
vnat is more, whep Dumas set-to
work in earnest the most unmethodical
of men made his novels a pure matter
of business. Anthony ,'Trollope never
paid more attention to Ithe main chance.
Scott, like Fielding atid Smollett, like
Charlotte BrOnte and i George Elliot
wrote from inspiration; these writer
concentrated their attention on their
work from the esthetic point of view,
though by no means indifferent to ulti-1
mate profit. Dumas, - j ambitious as he
was, was the most sublime of penny-a-liners;
a glorified scribbler who lived
from hand to mouth, 'seeking to com
bine the maximum of! gain with the
minimum of labor, ije even conde
scended to sharp practice. He bar
gained with his editors: for murh line. !
though the- Price was nairi in francs. 1
and not in sous. Hence the A's. the 1
Os, and the Cest Men's which are
continually interpolated, with a line to
each. The taciturn Grimaud was a lu
crative invention, fori Grimaud in his
role only speaks in mbnosvlables. Gri
maud ran unnoticed through 'Les Tro
is Mousquetaires, butj in the sequel the
long-sufferinsr editor lost nat.enre. He
might as well have waited; for ' Vingt '
Ans apres was nearly at an end- How
ever, he sent 'the author a note of re
monstrance, saying that Grimaud must
either be silenced or speak to-more pur
pose. Dumas was disgusted, but killed
him on the spet" .
