THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR- ANCE AT SHANGHAL:
Advices from Shanghai up to 8th inst, state, there was still no news of Mr. Pip" Reynell, who was missing ftoin his home, and his friends therefore entertain most grave misgivings as to his fate.

IMPERIAL DECREE.
4th January,
THE MURDER OF THE REV. 5. M. BOOKE," We have received a wire from Yuan Shih- k'ai, acting Governor of Shantung, stating that a number of ruffians belonging to the two dis tricts of Pingyin and Feicheng combined recently to create disturbance and during their work captured the day befute a missionary whom they cangued and took to a place called Manchiap. The memorialist did all he could to save the said missionary and also dispatched a cavalry-force to statopend, and capture the marauders, but the force could not arrive in time to prevent the missimary from being murdered by the runians. We feel deeply grieved at the receipt of this news and pity greatly the fate of the unfortunate missionary. Now the missionaries of all countries are allow ed by treaty to enter the interiortowns, and again and again Isive we issued decices calling upon the Viceroys and Goremos of provinces to be diligent in protecting all foreigners within their jurisdiction. But in spite of all these decrees we are.now informed of the murder of a mis- sionary in Shantung. From this it is culent that with the civil as well as military officials in that vicinity cannot free themselves from blame for such a state of affairs, and if they do not at once sel about to capture the murderers and their accomplices the condition of that province is indeed extraordinary: We hereby command the said Governor to find out the culpable officials concerned and denounce them in severe terms to the throne and then allow them a certain limit of time to effect the cap ture of the murderers. They must be punished according to their deserts so that peace may be restored to the region as soon as possible and friendly relations with missionaries be coin- tiaged as usual.-N. C, D. News.

WAR NEWS.
[From American. Papors.]
Sortie from Ladysmith.
LONDON, December 9th. The War Office to-night issued the following dispatch from General Baller, dated at Frere Camp, December 9th, afternoon:
"The following was received from General White today Last night I sent General Hunter, with 500 Natal volunteers under Roynsion, and too of the Imperial Light Horse under Edwards, to suprise a gun on a hill. The enterprise was admirably carried out and was entirely successful, the hill being captured And a six-inch gun and howitzer being destroy. ed with gun-collon by Captain Fowke and Lieutenant Turner. A Maxim was captured and brought to Ladysmith. Our loss was one Battalion of the Argyll Highlanders wounded. killed and Major Henderson of the First
hill one squadron of the Nineteenth Hussars At the same time that Colonel Knox seized the
rode around Pepworth hill, burning kraals and cuting the telegraph lines. They had no casualties."
Macrum may bring a Note from Kruger.
CHICAGO, December toth.
A special to the Chronicle from East Liver. pool, Ohio, says; Friends in this city of Charles E. Macrom, until recently United States Consulat Pretoria, say he is returning to this country with important information for the State Department, which he was unwilling to disk cabling. His letters conclusively prove that not only was Macrum not persona non grata u the Transvaal Government, but that he was not on the best possible personal terms with President Kruger. Cabling could be done only over a line controlled in part by England. It is believed the information brought by Macrum is front President Kruger and the purpose is to initiate measttres to bring the war fa close on honorable terms to the Dutch republic.
Spytfontein Dombarded.
NEW YORK, December 11th. The Sun has the following from Modder River, December 9th. A 47 inch gun from the cruiser Doris, drawn by thirty-two oxen, star at midnight and proceeded three iniles northward. A squadron of the Ninth Lancers and a battery of horse artillery joined the naval force at 3.20 o'clock this morning. The naval contingent consisted of four companies of marines and fifty sailors, under command of Captain John E. Bearcroft of the cruiser Philo mel. They began to fire at the enemy from à ridge facing Spytfontein. They fired fourteen charges of lyddite at ranges varying from 6700 to 7200 yards. One shell burst on a Boer (ent, which inmediately disappeared. Everything in the immediate vicinity was wrecked. Antither of themissites dropped among a bunch of fifteen horses, which were blown to atoms. It is not known whether there were any Boers near the animals.
Mr. Takashima Kacmon of Kanagawa, who is well-known as an expert in the art of divina- tion by sticks, and who claim that all his own success in life has been achieved owing to his being able to foretell coming events, has predicted the outcome of the South African War in the flowing words: Owing to the failure of negotiations and the deadlock which ensuet when the Boers refused to concede certain points insisted upon by the British, war became inevitable, but, after all, no very serious ground for hatred or antipathy exists between the two races. The war will not be carried on à outrance and will end halfway in a peaceful compromise, which will fully satisfy both sides, anif prevent the occurrence of hostilities in future. Three years within the third year) from date, the British will open up and develop an immense mine the like of which has never yet been seen or heard of, and during the fourth year from date they will gain great and General Wauchopee and the remainder of well-nigh boundless advantage, pecuniary or the Highland Brigade arrived here yesterday. otherwise." M. Takashina desires scoffers Strong redoubts and trenches have been erect- to make a note of his prophecy so that whened around the camp bere. Modder River is the events foretold come to pass he may not be accused of "prophesying after the event." Here is a chance to test the reliability or other wise of Mr Takashima's systemn.-Japan- Herald,

It is believed that the enemy did not see the gun which did the damage, it having been painted the colour of the khaki uniforms worn by the men, and smokeless powder being used. There was scarcely a flash when the gun was discharges. The bluejackets have chalked the name "Joey Chamberlain" near the muzzle of their gun.
destined to be a permanent stronghold. The houses na the north bank of the river have been blown up and their sites cleared.
There are but few Boers at Jacobsdal, but large forces of the unemy are at Spyfontein, to the cast of Moder River Station, and at Schloto kop, east of Spyfontein.
The Arst lyddite shell burst over a high point in the range of bills. The area of destruction was enormous. The whole ground appeared to be chumed into red dust. The Boers hur riedly left an emplacement which they were preparing for a forty-pounder. The emplace incat was apparently destroyed.
French and German Comment. PARIS, December 11th The news of General Gatacre's reverse made
an immense impression in Paris. Although the afternoon papers predict the gravest consc. Vences in the disaffected portion of Cape Colony, they cannot be accused of unseemly exultation over British misfortune.
Most of the journals see in the defeat an undoubted trap laid by Boers working in con- junction with Dutch traitors. The Journal des Dette epitomizes the general opinion, saying that Sir Alfred Milner has threatened in vain to overwhelm the disloyal Dutch with the thunder bolts of British wrath and that even he must to-day admit that race sympathy is stronger than loyalty. It sees in the attitude of the Afrikanders the inevitable result of the tactless language of the British press in referring to the war as a struggle between the British and Dutch for supremacy in South Africa.
The Temps say: "The story of the ambush at Stormberg reads like a chapter from Cooper's The Spy. The situation ressembles that of the American war of independence, when the colonists devoted themselves to deceiving, mis- leading and ambushing the British generals for love of their country and with the assent of Washington."
BERLIN, December 11th. General Gatacre's reverse at Stormberg was joyfully greeted on the streets of Berlin, but the newspapers for the most part are reticent on the subject. The Berliner Tageblatt, which prints a long letter from a German in London, advis ing the public here against demonstrative anglophobia, gives the news of the repulse without cominent,
alinost friendly, saying "After the soldierly The Possische Zeitung comments in a strain virtues which the British have hiready shown in this war it may well be believed that General 'Gatacre's troops fell as if on the parade ground."
The Neueste Nachrichten, asks if it is against English custom to reconnoitre before attacking. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung is about the only paper this evening which is distinctly anglo- phablan in its coinments.
disaster was due to lack of judgment on his part and how far to lack of artillery is not quite clear, but the patient public cannot help recall ing that General Methuen's victory at Mudder river was won by artillery re-enforcement at the critical moment, and all they would like to know is how many times this particular lesson is to be learned."
The Standard "The event is in the highest. degree deplorable. It will tell against us un- favourably in the Free State, among the colonial Dutch and even among the natives, A great deal of evidence has been accumulating during the past week to show how deeply the Colony, or at least the northern and westem portions of it, are honeycombed by disaffection. Our Generals have to cope with a rebel colony as well as with hostile republies and must take measures to lay their plans in accordance with the details,"
Another Sortie.
LONDON, December ralli. dispatch from General Buller:
The War Office publishes the following
"Dispatel from General White dated December 11th says: Last night Coinne! Met calfe and 500 of the Second Rifle Brigade sortied to capture a Boer howitzer on a hill, They reached the crest without being dis | covered, drove off the enemy and then' des- troyed the howitzer with gun com. When returning Metcalfe found his retreat larred by the laers, but he forced his way through, using the bayonet freely, The Boer losses are considerable. The British lasses were us follows: Lieutenant Ferguson and eleven men killed; Captain Haley, Second Lieutenant Davenport, Second Lirujenant Road and forty. one men wounded; six men.captured who had remained behind in charge of the wounded?
Sortio Hailed as a Brilliant Feat.
LONDON, December 13th, 4.45 a With the exception of Sunday's sortie at Ladysmith, which the morning papers are una nimous in regarding as a brilliant piece of work, there are no further advices from the seat of war. A War Office dispatch reports that Mafeking was safe up to December 4th, but that the Boers had been shelling the town since November 27th with increased effect. Rations had been reflared, meat by half a pound and biciul by a quarter of a pound, in view of a probably long siege. Water, however, was stil plentiful.
The Boers fear, the British bayonets. This is illustrated in the full accounts nw arriving of previous sorties. It seems that in Sir Archi bald Hunter's sadly from Ladysmith to capture the Boer puns, the British did not carry ayonets. While they were storming the hills the Boers, suddenly aroused from sleep, rushed to the edge and opened an indiscriminate fre upon them. But just before the British secured a footing on the top of the hill, some one among them shouted: "Fix bayonets and give them cold steel" At this the Buers turned and fled into the darkness.
Little mention is made in the War Office dispatches of horses, but it is understood that the losses in this respect have been exceeding ly heavy. Among the officers alone from 20 to 30 per cent of their mounts have been shot from under them, the Boer tactics being to shoot first at an officer's horse and then the rider, when dismounted.
General Gatacre's disaster at Stormberg bas has been blamed to lack of knowledge of the country, but, according to the Daily Telegraph, when the war began there were no available maps at Cape Town, and, therefore, it is pro- bable that General Gatacre is still without them.
The Times, while praising Colonel Metcalfe's brilliant feat at Ladysmith, expresses the opinion that relief being now so near, such a sortie was rather perilous, and it would be better for General White to avoid them so far as possible,
The
Morning Post again endeavours editorially to arouse the British people to a recognition of the serious nature of the struggle and of the grave position in which matters now stand." It urges the Government to prepare immediately to send more troops to South Africa.

The monarchial trust company, though often quarreling among themselves, have always agreed on one thing; that a republic is a

After quoting extensively from Daniel Webster's speech in support of his position, Mason continued:

one of supremacy in South Africa. "And I usk," said he, " in common justice, what right has Great Britain to be supreme in South Africa? It is a fight to control Routh Africa, and the only way the English could do was to threaten, bulldoze, browbeat and interfere with the kutchmen until out of sheer humiliation and desperation he was driven to fight.
Refering to Mr. Chamberlain, he said: rattling around in Gladstone's shoes, trying to Let the distinguished Lillipitian statesman, undo his work and break his promises, be assured that he is deceiving no one except, possibly, himself.
He declared that no nation except a pro- fessed bully would make the demands upon another that Great Britain made upon the Transvaal Republic, and in closing said:
I have not sought to excite prejudice by our past differences with England. They are for- gotten and forgiven. But when the colours of a republic are truck and we sit silent, it would seem that we are ashamed or tired of our in- stitutions and by our silence give consent to the destruction of self-government in Africa.

At its conclusion, Lodge, after expressing the wish that Mason might have delivered his address in the British Parliament, he said there was a wide gulf between private opinion and public official expression. The executive départment of the Government, he said, had assumed a neutral attitude toward the South African war. The passage of this resolution by the Senate would change immediately that attitude.
If we are to depart from the position of neutrality, said Lodge, it ought to be a subject of most serious consideration,"
He moved therefore that the resolution-he sent to the Committee on Foreign Relations, and it was so ordered.
