Special to Journal.
London. Jan. 19 At the war office and
ftba IUI afternoon the belief Is wide-
Sid that although the news has bo!
yet come through, Ladysmiih may al
ready be relieved.
Tlila via explained because General
Roberta, at Cape Town, will allow noth
ing (0 come through up til Buller la
actually In Ladysmith. This waa a tra
dition of his la India, to with hold every
th' ig (a the way of news until the oper
ation was fully completed. .
If Ladysmiih is relieved, most officials
believe that it has been the sequal of
severe fighting. The anxiety ylth which
decisive news Is awaited Is painful In the
extreme, for high authorities do net dis
guise their belief that an Uprising of the
Cape Dutch is certain as a sequal t fur
ther British reverses, v
The gravity of that event Is not dis
guised.'; On the ether haid If the Boers
are defeated at Ladysmith the' Fralter
aa-iy may be expected to get the upper
hahd in withdrawing the Orange Free
State fijam President Stern, and proba
bly one third of the Eurgbers there are
expected to go bodily ever to t be, Trans
vaal country, leaving . behind . them
Frazier as the new president to , sue fofi
peace. ;8o- far as the Free State Is con'
cerned the Transvaal Boers are expected
to fight to the last with the view of In
flicting all possible damage upon the
British
XoHDoa, January 18.-It Is known here
that the Boers occupy kopjes In front of
General Bailee In force and have strong
positions on Arnot Bill farm, five miles
from l'otgleter's Drift,, Bur there IS
considerable mystery about their move
ments. Z'::.v, ;Z';!&:z-?J,!;.:
' Their present position Is open to turfj
ioj b the west, which Would cut it off
from the Free-Stale passes, and by the
east a'flo. It the, garrison of Ladysmith
could make a, strong movement against
the lioers. 'H '':'.-.
General Roller has two drifts In his
bsjiinl This gives him greet maneuver
Inj power. Having hts right protected
bv I'lsrallwsy line to Frere guarded by
divisional treops and enough men left In
the trencbes at tbe drifts, be would have
fo: maneuvering purposes,' besides Cav
alry, artillery and mounted Infantry,
about S3 battalions of infsnlry.
It Is net thought that Warren will at
tempt to fotce the Drakensberg passes
They are fsrtlfled, and (he Boers have
five If not six lines ef eommunlcatlon by
the three principal passes.
Warren will probably work so that he
will not give the Boers anyidea whether
he Is making for the Free State passes or
Ladysmith. . It the maneuvers to the
eatwanl. ha.-certalnlv will dw off
some ot tbe Boers front their new posi
tion which might help General Ulldyard
to tike the position nerta ot Colenso at
Qrobler's Kloof. Then Warren might
presiOB to loin hands , with General
While. . ' -
If Buller should succeed In beating the
Boers and joining hands with White the'
Boer Army most retreat across the Klpp
river, between Ladysmith and Colenso,
and will be In a perilous - position, for
81r Kedvers will be as neat Glenoe, on
tbe railway to New Castle, as tbe Boers
themselves. Having chosen the most
effective direction and the one which of
fcrs tbe best p:ospeets of success, den
era'. Buller, It la said here, has decldad to
strike with all his might.
London, Jan. 18. A dispatch from
Durban7 dated Wednesday, says:
"Advices frent Pot gle tor's Drift, dated
Tuesday, aays that Sir Cbarlea ' Wsrren
has arrived within 17 miles ef Ladysmith
and that British wounded are arriving at
Hool river field hospital by every train
from the frent, indicating that there bas
already been severe fighting. Neither re
port bas jut been counrmed."

Plan Submitted and Adopted.
Populist Committee Meets. Op
poses the Amendment. la
. Touch With Republicans. -
IUlkibh, Jan. 19.-The North Carolina
Tobacco Growers' Association have met
and decided upon a plan. There were 80
tobacco-growing counties represented
and the association is a atrong body : of
men. It. was dead set against the Amer
ican Tobacco Company, the most cordial
ly hated In the State. 8o Intense is this
hatred that one of the delegates to tbe
convention said It was rapidly making
anarchists ot the farmers. Tbe associa
tion elected J. Bryan Grimes, of Pitt
County, president, and W. B. fjpehurch,
ot Raleigh, treasurer; J. B. Fbli'lpj, vice
president; 1. V. Parker, secretary,
Hesolutions were adopted setting forth
the causes and purposes of the meeting
and organization by ceunltes was . de
cided upon. . ;
The committee on plans reported through
ft. II. Blebs, its chalinsn, accepting the
plan proposed by J, F." Jordsi, of
GreenBbo'ro, and the plan was adopted
by the association. The committee's re
port was as follows: , '' '
f "We re'ccomitend to this association a
contract, In substitute, as follows:
" "We agree to enter. Into' a contract
with J. F. Jordaa and his associates to
sell to them our, tobacco raised during
the next five years at an advance of not
less than IS per cent over the prices paid
for the same grade of tobacco during
the last five years; the said price to be
fixed, by a commission, a majority of
which shall .represent tbe seller. We
further agree to lake stock with Mr,
Jordan and said association, a corpora
tion which shall be formed for the pur
pose of muulpulatlng and disposing of
said tobaccoCsold to said J. F. Jordan
and his associates to Iho eiteut ef, not
less than 15 per cent of tbe value of our
said tobacco. , The details of the sgrer-
ment. shall be hereafter ar anged so as to
Lcairy out the troe Intent and meaning of
this sg eemcnt. Jf we make default in
Ib's agreement In any pi .Icular we
ag-ee to forfeit to said corporation the
said stock so taken. And we further
recorr aend tor oar mutual lieneiit that
the fpme s of North Ca.oiiuti reduce
tuelr crop at least Si per cent below the
past year's production;: We- invite the
co-operation of Virginia, houib Carolina
and other ' sections which grow bright
tobacco," : ' ' ' -f
Tlfo contract with Mr.- 'Jordan, adopt
ed.by the Tobacco-Orewers Association,
Is merely a' prellmlnnry agreement be
tween the convention and tbe capitalists
who are backing tbe fight against the
American Tobacco Company. ' Tbe con.
tract will be submitted to Individual
farmers for approval.. Whea 00 per cent
of them have agreed to It, another State
convention will be held- The final con
tract ; be a adopted will' alao be referred
back to the Individual farmer for his ap
proval. if sigied by & percent of them
It will be binding and become opera
l-'ve at once. , .. , -.
