London, Jan. 4 Great satisfaction Is expressed here at the news that De Aar has been able to send General French reinforcements of guns and infantry, of which ho apears to bo so much in need.

(Thursday, 4:30 a. m.) Thero is a complete absence of anything new from the seat of war. Tho report of a Boer attack upon Molteno is not yet confirmed. Apparently General French holds uothing within flveinihs ot Colesburg Junction. His request fir rolnforccments dispels any present hopo that ho will be able to seize ono of tho crossings' of tho Orange river. It is probable that, when Lord Roberta nr rives, General French will be ordered to quit his present unsupported position, and to concontrate his command at DeAar or Orange river. As a Daily Telegraph says: "General French seems to bo in tho position of tho man having tho tiger cat in a trap, and un able to kill It for want of a stick." A dispatch from Dover announces that Lieutenant Colonel Pitcher has re turned there safely from Douglas. Since Commandant General Joubcrt's roturn to the front, tho cannonading of Ladysmith by the Boers has been much livelior. Between December 18th and December 3(Uh, four shells killed ono officer and fourteen men and wounded thirteen ofllcers and eleven men. Tho warofllco acknowledges the inferiority of tho regular artillery, by authorizing tho equipment of a now battcry,attachcd to tho London volunteer's corps with Vickers and Maxims, and same as tho Boers need, and by ordering 100 of these 12JiJ pounder quick-firers built immed iately. The ofllcers and men of tho new battery will ho supplied from the Hon orable Artillery company. Eight additional militia regiments have been called out. Seven of thcM) will serve in Ireland, replacing tho reg ulars soul to South Africa. Among the announcements of those who volunteered yesterday are the names ofa hundred or more of tho sous of gentlemen. Ladysmith In Bad Shape. tlr Aaanulated I'rraa la Ibe Journal. Nkw Yoiik, Jan. 4.

Tho papers comment upon tho fact that, in view ot the stato of public opinion, it is much easier to go to war than to stay at thu clubs, which wear a particularly deserted aspect. Ad parts of England and Scot land report lively volunteering, u lead ing feature being the sums raided by private subscription for volunteer equipment. Some of the counties have given sums as high as jC:!0,000.

MORE RAILROAD ROBBERY Eastern Trunk Linos Raise Frelaht Rates 20 to 25 Per Cent. Ur Aaaaclnlcil Pre In (lie Journal. New York, Jan. 4. Railroads belong ing to the Eastern trunk lino pool have put In active operation tho new freight tariffs involving an advance of 20 to 25 percent in rates. Merchants of this city, not discouraged by tho refusal of Attorney-General Griggs to Institute In junction proceedings to prevent tho In troduction of the now rates, are deter mined to continue their opposition. They will first apply to tho railroads themselves mid try to get a hearing by tho classification committee which drew up tho higher rates. They projioso to show that tho rates will not only bo a serious discrimination against small shippers, bIiico tho advance on less than carload lots Is greater than on carload lots, but the now tariff Is likely to drive away business from this port. Some of the trunk lines ha vo received complaints from business men in the interior to the effect that If tho now rates stand they will bo compelled to ship by Baltimore, Charleston, Newport News, New Orleans and other Southern ports, since tho narrow margin on which thoy do busi ness will not admit of any profit what ever under the now tariff. " If no other plan works, it is under stood that tho shippers will take steps against tho railroads on tho ground that tho now agreement concerning rates is made by an iron-clad pool, which is in all rcspccUas much a. violation ot the nnti-truet law as if it were operating as an association.
