The present situa- tion is the lamentable. result of a long course in disregard of the elementary maxims of statesmanship. “The eountry is obliged to confess that everything bas been done that could be done to add to the risks of de- feat.

By the loss of Khartoum, which was ‘his objective point, Lord Wolseley's whole expedition is in the air. The concentration, ot his forces is the first necessity which confronts Wolseley, but where shall he con- centrate? The only effective base is Suakim.and to make this available, Osman Digna must be van- quished and the road to Berber opened. General Gordon must be saved or avenged. The honor of the country must be vindicated at whatever cost.” WOE TO GORDON'S MURDERER'S. In another place the Times says: “The fall of that solitary figure (Gordon), holding aloft the flag of England in the face of hordes of the sons of Islam, will reverberate through every bazar of Cairo and Calcutta.

Stanard Settles All Question a6 to His Candidacy for Any Office, The Two Republican Tickets Almost Cer. tainto Have the Same Nominees tor the First Two Places—Political Notes. The Grund Committee, which meets at 8 o'ciccy this afternoon, will not fix the date for the Repyp. lican convention, nor does there appear to be any detinite plan as to what it will do. The Tenth Wary contest, in which Mr. Crookes seeks to oust Mr. Kehoe, is, according to the Kehoe men, to be aban- doned, because they can show that 150 ballots were reported for Crookes at a precinct where he did not receive a single vote. The Crookes men, however, declare that Pete Dailey and Ed Harty will see their case well handled. The committee will doubtless adopt some new form of appeal for financial support, as the divided state of the party has hada very pronounced effect im shutting off supplies from men who would, if there was ut one commit be willin to invest considerably in the — of election The clerks in the various departments, too, are offering the duplexity of the situation as an excuse os —— * 1 at all.

By Telegraph to the / ost-Dispatch. Wasurnoron, D. C., February 6.—The recent sale of articles at Cononchet draws attention to Mrs. Sprague’s country seat, just out of Washington. The great houseywhich her father bought years be- ore his death and and made his home. stands empty just as she leftitfour or five years ago, when she went to Europe. It stands on a bill, in the midst of a magnificent forest, overlooking Washington. It is a fine old Southern mansion, built many years ago by some wealthy slave-owner Mr. Chase bought it during his term of office here, and when the estate was divided up Kate obtained, by some means, the ownership of it. It was Here that she lived when there was so much talk about ber and Senator Conkling, and it was at “Edge- wood" that the Senator visited so often. The great house is magnificently furnished. and halls bang costly and rare paintings, the furnishings are elegant, rooms are packed away trunks full of handsome and costiy clothing that she did not think worth while to take with her when she went to Europe. The most valuable of her silver and other articies of this sort are piaced in a vault in the city for safe keeping, but the house is full of articles of value, which must have cost a snug little fortune in them- selves. She is utterly reckless in her management of business. She went away leaving this magnifli- cent estate in the hands of a servant who has been oy for many years. And it so stands in searcely enough to keep it in repair. ky about it when she lived there. some seasons she would take a notion to cultivate lanting,when she would sud- denly change her mind and let it lie idle.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1885. THe Posr-Disraron flatters itself that it got away with its esteemed contemporaries in its report of the fall of Khartoum. — Tur British Government has telegraphed to WoLsELEY that it will sanction anything he does. As he can do nothing, the offer is safe. — — — Just at present we fancy the people of En- gland do not appreciate the advantage of bav- ing the post of Commander in- Chief filled by an imbecile old duffer whose only military merit is that he is cousin to the Queen. —_—_—_—_—_——_" Tur most brilliant feat of journalism in con- nection with the taking of Khartoum was the publication by the Globe-Democrat of a map of the River Nile which includes an accurate representation of Lord WOLSELEY’s route up the Nile. The map leads us to infer that Lord WOLSELEY walked on the towpath. SEE Ir the Missouri Legislature permits its door- keepers and clerks to sell subordinate appoint- ments for percentages of the salaries fixed by law, it is because the Missouri Legislature re- gards tips“ and “divvies” and Whack- ups as the legitimate perquisites of public trusts and official positions. It would be presumptuous in clerks and doorkeepers to assume a higher virtue than the body they serve. — Tre water gas people are greatly elated over the opinion of City Counselor BxLL that their right to operate may come by a decision of the Supreme Court in a case now pending We are very decidedly and emphatically opposed to giving anything away to the water gas people or to any other corporation, but if they can get a fair grip on the old monopoly and throw it we will have no regrets to waste on the vic- tim. Tux British situation is rendered all the more difficult by the sad lack of military talent at home, England hasa Marquis for Secretary of War anda Royal Duke for Commander-in- Chief, but when it comes to real fighting they have less sense than an ordinary Arab sheik. The military resources of England are in the hands of men without brains, and the military brain of England isin a position where it can not make use of the resources. THE Republican, in an article which is lurid with picturesque and variegated falsehood, at- tempts to question the services of Mr. Grsson to his party and to his country. Mr. GSO has done those things which the Colonels have left undone, and he has left undone those things which the Colonels have done. He did go to Louisiana eight years ago, when his country needed his services there, and he did not go to Albany last month on an office-begging expe- dition. — — ENGLISH anxiety in regard to the situation in the Soudan is greatly intensified by the fact that some of the finest, and also most aristo- cratic, regiments in the British army are repre- sented there. Probably more London “society men,” titled and untitled, are in WoLsxeLzy’s command than have been in active service together since Waterloo. A wholesale slaughter of the invading force—by no means an impos- sibility—would almost decimate the peerage, and certainly put Belgravia and Mayfair in mourning. Ir seems to be a pretty well established fact that the carrion crows and buzzards of Illinois and Missouri are daily cheated out of a great deal of meat which belongs rightfully to them, but which is bought at the East St. Louis stock yards and sold in the meat shops of this city. For the sake of the poor, wronged birds, we hope the Humane Society and the meat inspect- ors may succeed in curtailing this business But how they are to distinguish between the fiesh of animals dead of disease or starvation and that of the bony scarecrows legally slaughtered for this market, isa matter about which the public can hardly afford to be in- quisitive, — — Trere is abundant reason for the anxiety and alarm with which the news from Khar- toum is received in England. Ata flash it is seen that the Mahdi's capture of Khartoum is a of the world,” so tür as the Eastern question is concerned. It is apparent that the prao- tical nullification of the Sultan's suzerainty and the inauguration of christian supremacy in Egypt meant a sccessful revolt of the Soudan Indian Empire and the European belance of — are involved in the new settlement of the Eastern question that 8 now forced upon the great Powers. THB NEWS IN FULL. The fall of Khartoum is the most momentous and important event in the world’s history since the election of CLEVELAND, if, indeed, it is not more far-reaching in its consequences and et- tocta At any rate it is tho news of the day, and we cannot refrain from calling attention to the fresh illustration it furnishes of the familiar fact that thegreat events of contempo- rary history are first given to the people of the West through the Post-DisPratca. Our account of yesterday was so full and complete that the papers this morning have nothing to add in the way of news. The only additions they make to our report are not facts, but mere views, opinions and comments. To-iay we give the news again. Our report tells of the situation today. We give the news thet Worssiey hes telegraphed from Korti that the enemy at Metem- neh has become defiant; that an attack may be looked for on Gubat at any time; that the Cabinet council has announced its de- cision to prosecute the war vigorously ; that re- inforcements of Indian troops and of garrisons from the Mediterranean have been ordered to Suakim, and that the Government will sanc- tion any movements of Lord WOLSELEY, and thet it would rescue GORDON alive, or avenge him dead. In other words, the Posr-Disrarck gives the news not only in advance of the morning pa- pers, but it gives it so fully that they have nothing to add. Our extra was on the street yesterday before noon, and the demand for yesterday's paper showed how eager was the demand which we supplied. — EL MAHDIS MISSION. In the innumerable more or less unintelligent comments upon late events in the Soudan, far too much stress is laid upon the religious char- acter of EL Maun, by way of explaining the remarkable success of his career up to the present time. This explanation not only fails to explain, but is actually misleading as re- gards the most essential point of the situation. Ex Manni is unquestionably playing the part of Prophet,“ and thereby increases and intensi- fies his influence among the masses; but scores of fanatics have done the same in Mohamme- dan countries since the real Prophet of Islam vanished from the scene, without accomplish- ing anything of substantial importance. What EL Manp! has done or may do of such import- ance, is not as a religious leader so much asa political one. He combines the two and utilizes them both, but his greatest power lies in the fact that he represents the independence of his nation, and is recognized as the consecrated champion of the national cause in the struggle against foreign domination. It must be re- membered that the so-called “rebellion” in the Soudan broke out before England had decisively interfered in the affairs of Egypt; and was directed against, and inspired by, Egyptian tyranny—and nothing else. The Soudanese have always been restive under the yoke imposed by MenHemet ALI, and his suc- cessors have never held more of that vast region than the scattered Egyptian garrisons could cover. The rebellion would have occurred when and as it did if Egypt had remained un- disturbed by outside parties; if KHEDIVE IsMaIL, instead of the present British prophet, had continued to hold the reins of government. It is not, then, religious fanaticism alone, or even in larger part, which stimulates the bitter and bloody resistance of the Soudanese rebels. It is simply patriotism; love of freedom, hatred of oppression, firm resolve to be masters and not servants in the land which has been theirs for thousands of years. Ex Manni is merely the chief of a great popular uprising. He is, in the Soudan, what Aran Brey was in Egypt; only with this all-important difference in his favor: that the country he defends is by nature almost inaccessible to an invading army, and the men he leadsare heroes and not cowards, These men, whose unconquerable valor England is now testing to her cost, are not fighting for him, or for the faith symbol- ized by the green flag, but for their native soil, their homes and kindred, the gravesof their ancestors—for all they hold dear and sacred in the world. They are semi-barbarians, but they know enough to love the land that gave them birth, and to be willing to.die for it. They are heathen, but their patriotic instincts are not less fervent than thoseof Christians; and they are doing—barring the indiscriminate throat- cutting—precisely what brave Christians would do under similar circumstances. Such a people can never be permanently con- quered by any force that may be brought in a man or woman or child of them left. If EIL. Mann dies, some other leader will fill his place and the war go on as before. The sooner England recognizes the true character of the business in which she is engaged, the better for hr. The Soudan belonged to the Soudonese when England was more savage than the Sou- dan is to-day, and promises to be in the hands of the original owners when England has dis- appeared from the family of nations. seems to be commendable, and by no means premature. The telephone business is a char- tered monopoly that is evidently very profita- ble, and upon it rests the onus of prov- ing that its charges are not extor- tionate and its receipts not a huge multiple of the reasonable compensation to which it is entitled for its services. The bill in question limits the charge for telephones to a maximum of $3a month, where a single in- strument is rented, and to $2 50 each where more than one is used by the same individual, company or corporation. It also provides that not more than fifteen cents shall be charged for the first five minutes and five cents for each additional five minutes, where the telephone is used for conversation between two cities or vil- lages. This telephone service is a public ser- vice, enjoying a franchise which imposes on it the duty of serving the public at fair rates, and it is the duty of the Legislature to take care that the rates charged shall be reasonable. CuLLom's Inter-State Commerce bill has been improved somewhat with amendments and passed by the Senate, 48 to 12. It provides for nine Commissioners with salaries of $7,500 each, and with clerks and travelling expenses, to remonstrate with the railroads, investigate their affairs and make reports to the Secretary of the Interior on the subject of inter-State transportation, reasonable rates and regula- tions and the proper remedies for such as may be deemed unreasonable. Most of the Senators who voted against this bill did so because they regard it as a do nothing” measure, an evas- ion of the question which it was the object of the Reagan bill to settle bylaw. They pre- ferred to extend by statute to inter-State com- merce the common law principles to which transportation within a State is now subject, and to enable aggrieved persons to enforce those principles in the United States Courts with adequate remedies. But the Cullom bill does pretend in a vague, cautious and feeble way to attack unreasonable charges and des- criminations. It provides for a commission which may exercise a restraining moral in- fluence over rallroads by publiely chiding them for wrong doing, and as it is the best measure that can be extorted from the railroad owners and attorneys of the present Senate, the House will probably pass it as better than nothing, though not what the representatives of the people wanted. OUR ENVIOUS CONTEMPORARY. It Yields an Unwilling Tribute tothe Next Minister to Berlin. From the Republican. The deplorable ignorance prevailing in Chicago is fairly Ulustrated by the following paragraph from the News: Who is this Mr. Charles Gibson of St. Louis, whom a very few persons are trying to boom for a foreign appointment under President Cleveland? What bas he ever done for his country or for any part of bis country or for any person (except Mr. Gibson) in any part of the country, that he should be re- warded or even recognized? We have heard it rumored that he hung about Washington all last winter, making lifea burden to the editors and readers of the Post with bis long-winded communi- cations signed Justice,“ “Constant Reader,” etc. What else has he ever done—what else is he good for? We ask for information. In answer to the first question—we take pleasure In repeating, for the information of the News, that Col. Sir Charles Gibson is one of the few foreign noblemen whom American soil has had the honor to produce. Besides his foreign patents of nobility and decorations, he is colonel on the staff of the Post-Dispatcs of this city. In view of these quali- fications, he has been selected from among the five hundred and odd thousand plebeians constituting the remaining population of St. Louis as alone worthy of the Berlin mission. The selection was made, we believe, by Sir Charles himself, and it is conse- quently unexceptionable. Sir Charles is a polished gentleman, fully versed in the art of producing that backward movement ofthe right foot and sim- ultaneous graceful curve of the spinal column requisite for the diplomatic court bow, He has also made an enviable record for never having been once guilty of the Chicago habit of cutting the butter with his own knife. An able author, his literary fame has been clouded only where others have made an unauthorized use of his nom de plume, “Fiat Justitia.” Questions of what Sir Charies has done for his country such as are put by the News are irrelevant, if not impertinent. It happens to thousands to be of service to the country, but only to few to be of service to Sir Charles Gibson. A Republican Picture of Cleveland. Albany Correspondence Chicago Tribune. Instead of inviting me up to hisroom Mr. Cleve- land came down tothe hall. His appearance and his manner soon made me forget my disappoint- ment. In fact, he made me almost forget that I was in the presence of the next President. - After greeting me in a cherry, winning way, he stood up by the fire, leaning on the mantel-shelf, and talked about times and people in Buffalo I happened to be familiar with as if he was talking to an old ac- quaintance, and not betraying in the slightest de- gree any consciousness of my efforts to take his measure, as it were, from the standpoint of a politi- cal opponent. Whoever should meet Cleveland without knowing who he was would not for a moment suspect him of being the chosen leader of this great nation. There is nothing commanding, nothing extraordinary in his outward appearance. His features are those of a man who lives well and knows how to take care of himself. His bulky figure, although erect, would not be chosen as a model for a type of greatness and dignity. His almost flabby face, covered with pockmark-like indentations, with a sensua! chin and mouth, and not relieved to any extent by a mus tache of almost the same Color as the skin, would be called vulgar were it not for a pair of very bright and kindly-looking gray eyes, and fora high fore- head and a head of rather liberal dimensions. He looks, indeed, less like an American than like a well- to-do member of the lower German nobility, whose principal business is to eat, drink and sleep well, besides looking after a large farm and à distillery. That some admirer who wants to harmonize the man’s outward appearance with the greatness of his position may sooner or later discover a strong resemblance in face and bearing between Cleveland and Bismarck is more than probable, but does not detract from the truthfulness of the portrait I have endeavored to draw. The Lobby at Home. Washington Correspondence Chigago Tribune. Mr. Sherrill, the chief of the Huntington lobby, with one or two assistents, lurked in ambush all the afternoon about the Senate watching the proceed- ings of that body with feverish interest Notwith- standing the strict regulations roundings of the Senate Chamber. Sherrill ppeared to have no diMiculty in going where ne 5 pleased ex- cept upon the floor of the Senate itself. He was in the marble room most of the where only the special friends of the Senators to go.

Albany Cor. Chicago Tribune. What conversation about Hlinois Mr. Cleveland permitted showed him to be deeply interested in the Senatorial contest, but fully satisfied that the result was very much in doubt, and that the out- look was not exactly favorable for the Democrats, He also displayed a slight preference for Harrison, the increasing majorities by which he had been twice re-elected, and by the heavy vote he had polled last fall Tbe suggestion that Harrigon’s major- ities were suspected as having been obtained by fraud,he received with an incredulous smile. It would be the height of folly to expect to learn from Cleveland himself anything that he does not want to make public. On this point all who have wa his course since he was elected Governor, are perfectly agreed. His manner in conversation confirms the statement made by others, that he is very slow in making up his own mind, and never speaks of his intentions until his mind is fully made up, and he is made sure that nothing will interfere with his plans. He certainly will make it very hard to predict what he will do on any question. Mr. Irving on American Audiences. Henry Irving in the London Fortnightly. The dominant characteristic of an American audi- ence is impartiality. They do not sit in judgment. ro- senting as positive offenses lack of power to convey meanings or a divergence in the interpretation ef a particular character or scene. When they do not like a performance they simply go away. And here is akindly feeling toward the actor. As an individual part of that recognition of individuality, so strikingly characteristic in American life and customs, is their thorough enjoyment. Another point, they are not only quick to understand and appreciate, put they take a genuine pleasure in the expression of approval. They are not surpassed in quickness and completeness of comprehension by any audience I have yet seen. Finerty Looking Out. From the Chicago News. “What sort of a lady is she who sends me this card?” inquired Congressman Finerty, glancing nervously at the bit of enameled pastboard. “A tall and handsome young woman, sir,“ replied the page. pouting lips, and a wealth of dark-brown tresses?" asked the statesmanly dynamiter. “I don’t remember.“ answered the page. “With a sort of Joan de Arc or Charlotte Corday expression upon her mobile features?” continued the Hon. Finerty. “Really, I can’t say.” And did you observe the stock of a Queen Anne musket protruding from her hip pocket?” “Upon my word, I don't know what you mean, Sir.“ “I suspect you'd better take the card to Mr. Rob- inson,”’ said the Fenian leader; “I prefer that all experiments should be made on him. I've a deep- seated conviction that I have no ambition to be cut off in the flower of my youth.“ How He Got There, From the New York World. With the intense hatred of Chinese which is uni- versal in California, it is a little singular that the Legislature of the State should elect for United States Senator the man whe is more largely respon- sible than any other for the Celestial infliction. The Pacific Railroad Company imported coolies in large numbers for the construction of that work, and still employs them wherever practicable in preference to white laber. Besides this, Gov. Stanford has al- ways been recognized as the chief champion of the Chinese, directly antagonizing the sentiment of all the white people of the Pacific coast. without regard to party. But sentiment or opinion doesn't weigh much when put in the balance against corrupt leg- islators and fifty million dollars. Advice to Journalistic Brethren. By W.P. Nixon, Late of the Chicago Custom House. The Inter-Ocean appealingly says to the brethren, don't bank too much on political preferment. It is well enough to place yourselves in a receptive state, for greatness never knows what responsibility may be thrust upon it. Chicago is young, vigorous and growing and can stand a great deal, but we should fear the result if she were called upon to bear the burden of many cases of ruined hopes and crushed ambitions. For the good of the public and your own happiness we beg you to let reason and ex- ample curb your ambition. ‘*‘Dynamiteurs.” From the New York Life. We notice that the Tribune speaks of these de- stroyers of property as Dynamiteurs.“ This is a a better word than the others we are accustomed to use. Dynamiter is too American, The profes- sion of the Dynamiteur is one which the beau monde delight in following, and the elegance of this new term fills an aching void in our language. We congratulate that able editeur, Misteur White- leur Reid, upon the discoveury of this long and eageurly looked feur weurd. As a coineur of teurms Whiteleur is a reguleur corkeur! Went off Half Cocked. From the St. Louis Republican.

Jeryrersox City, Mo., February 3, 18%, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I notice in the People's Forum of yesterday's edition that “one of the hounds” wishes to know who Senator Davisson is, the man who in fear and trembling eats his own words, and says he was not elected by the laboring men,but by their employers, who compelled them to vote for him. I would say for one, who was in the Senate chamber during the controv between Senators Oliver and Davisson, that one of the hounds” is on the wrong track. Senator Davisson stated that he was elected by the votes of the manufacturers and laboring men of his district. Every Senator knows how that is, and that the manufacturers supported him on account of his views on the tariff qnestion, and he had the very highest regards for his constituencies. It seems that two representatives of the laboring element from the city of St. Louis are made targets of by the disgruntled and dissatisfied factions of said city for 1 and earnestly for their con- stituencies. I hope they will think twice before making a leap. A Mecwanic. Holes in the Streets. Sr. Louis, Mo., February 65, 1885. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. Will you please ascertain through your columns the reason the Market Street Car Line is permitted to leave the space between its tracks in such a dis- graceful and dangerous condition. From Rankin to Grand avenues on the Manchester road there ars holes deep enough to break any wheel, and as a portion of the Fire Department is obliged to run over the ground above referred to, it wouldn't be bad idea to have General Turner push the compan to fixing up a little. If the company isa stitution the city, of course the laws cannot executed. Besides the Fire Department apparatus, a number of other vehicles pass up and down Man- chester road daily. Yours, A Property Horton. An Anti-Gas Ring Mayor. Sr. Lovis, Mo., February 5, 1888. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. It becomes more apparent every day that the Gas Company is going to raise the issue at the coming election as to whether it will still farther fatten on the citizens of St. Louis. Might it not be well, in such a case, to nominate ex-Judge Louis Gottschalk for Mayor, who decided the case of the City vs. the Gas Company in favor of the plaintiff, which was affirmed by the Court of Appeals and reversed by the Supreme Court? We would then retry the case before the people of St. Louis, with no doubt about the verdict from the jury. CITIZEN. A Question of Title. Sr. Louis, February 5, 1855.

General Lord Wolseley has been a very ucky man, and some of the critics were disposed to carp at his strategy, but all agreed that he would teach the Mahdi a severe lesson and rescue Gordon and the beleaguered Egyptian garrisons. The money for the Egyptian campaign was voted on August 12th last, and immediately thereafter the work of the expedition was crowded forward with the utmost possible vigor. The command of the forces Was assigned to General Wolseley, and an army of 7,000 men was drafted off for the work. The objective point of the expedition was the city of Khartoum, atthe junction of the White and Bue Niles, about thirteen hundred miles up the river from the Nile Delta, and about four hundred miles across country from the port of Suakim, on the Red Sea. It was for some time a mooted point whether the army should go by way of the Nile or by Suakim. IT WAS WOLSELEY'S OWN DECISION to take the river route, chiefly because the country betweenSuakim and Berber is mountainous and dif- ficult, and full of passes, where an enemy acquaint- ei with the country would have all the advantages over an invading force, and besides the region was held by the most abie and determined of Mohammed Achmet's lieuten- ante, Osman Digna. So the Nile route was chosen and all the preparations forced, including the im- portation of a number of Canadian boatmen to do the portage work at the six cataracts. The English forces amounted to 7,000 men all told, and there was beside this an uncertain and variable Egyptian and Dongolese contingent which has never amounted to more than 10000 men, and which has at times smouuted to less than 2,000. How the troops reached Ambukol and Korti is ancient history. The cork was well done, a camel corps was improvised, awell opened base of supplies kept open, the Mudir of Dongola won to a strong alliance and every object of the expedition up to this point accom- pushed. At Korti the expedition divided. The Nile here makes a great bend and the distance across the Bayuda Desert to Shendy is about one-third of the river route, It was necessary to clear the river route for the safe withdrawal of the garrisons, and this work has been intrusted to General Earle, while the dash was made straight across to Stendy by General Stewart to relieve Khartoum as speedily as poss. ble, it must be remembered that the British Army in Ecypt was made up of drafts from more than twenty regiments, and as these bare preserved their regimental names, a great deal of confusion has ensued as to the force engaged ia the disasters about Khartoum. When Stewart left Korti he took with him the three divisions of the Camel Corps, 1,080 men in all; 90 men of the Nineteenth Husears; 400 mounted infantry; a Royal Artillery battery of 40 men; 30 Royal Engineers; 320 men of the Royal Sussex Regiment; 3 men of the Essex Regiment; 50 men of the Transport Corps and 50 men of the Medical Staff Corps, in all about 2,000 en. 8 THE VERY FLOWER OF THE ENGLISH ARMY, selected as a forlorn hope, to make a race against time for Gordon's life, as there is now no jonger any doubt that Lord Wolseley was fully in- formed of the desperate strait of the heroic de- fender of Khartoum. Stewart left Korti on Jan- vary S, and reached Gakdul in the desert on the Ih. Here it was necessary to make a halt and es tablish a garrison which diminished the little army so that on leaving that point Stewart had but 1.440 men all told with a camel battery of six moun- lain guns. On the 16th of January this force was pressed to a halt at the Abu Klea Wells, and the forces of the Mahdi closed in upor the English. The meagre oficial details of the fight at Abu Klea are ali that are vet in, but they are sufficient to prove that the followers of Mohammed Achmet el Mahdi, are fired With the SAME HEROIC FANATICISM that set the world ablaze in the days of the Callphs. It is certain, too, that Stewart was surprised at Abu Kea, for Lord Wolseley confidently predicted that he would meet no opposition until he got to Metem- neh on the Nile, and that the rebels would be dis- lodged there without any trouble. Allowing that the figures of the English loss at Abu Klea and in the subsequent fights between those wells and the Nile are not understated, the English force atthe river bank did not exceed 1,000 effective fighting men, while it may have been leas than that, asit was necessary to garrison Abu Kiea and Cubat. No one knows what the hordes of the Mahdi num- ber. It is certain that the fall of Khartoum will transform the desert into a camp. Mohammed Achmet was variously reported to have between between 20,000 and 60,000 men under arms about Khartoum and in the desert. Around Berber some 10,000 more, backed by populous hostile tribes, the same that perpetrated the massacre of Col. Stewart and his party some time since. THE PRESTIGR OF THE BRITISH tsooPps held a great many of the wavering tribes neutral. Now that that prestige has been destroyed the dan- gerhas accumulated a thousand fold. The effect of the fall of Khartoum has even been felt menac- ingly as far north as Cairo, where the Mohamme- dan population openly rejoices over the disaster, and where ball cartridge had to be served out some days since to the troops when the news of the check at Abu Klea was received. South of Assouan the whole country of Nubia may be fairly believed to be full of enemies in the field anxious to join in the war ageinst the infidels, and a more menacing con- dition of affairs could not be easily imagined. The English troops at last accounts were divided Into three main parties, weakened by garrisons which were necessary in order to keep their com- munication open. Wolseley is at Korti with the main body, now about 8,000 fighting men. Wilson is on the Nile at the other side of the Boyuda desert, and Earle. with about 2,000 men, is, no one knows exactly where, between Abu Hamed and Berber. Earl, is probably not fifty miles south of Abu Hamed and about two hundred miles from Wolse- ley. Farle's force, like Stewart's, made up from a number of regiments, is less than two thousand — men, although there is along with the sol- a large body of irreguiars, half workmen, half spearmen, who were hired in Dongola and the North.

Newman, Alias Parker, the Bogus Cattle King, Disappears Again. He is Liberated From Jail Because He is supposed te be at the Point of Death—But He Deceives the Court and Grand Jury and Escapes~A Shrewd Scoundrel’s Kuse. With hearts full of melting truth, like twelve yourg Buddhas studying the miseries of the human kind that tney might remedy them, searching out the wants that they might supply them, the Grand Jury for the last November term of the Criminal Court visited the Jail. Their tender hearts were wrung by the sights of the unfortunates incarcer- ated in the municipal Bastile. The robust, sleek in- mates, fattening on their rations of “bull's neck and duff,” was a moving spectacie to these sympathetic souls, but when they reached the cell of Charles H. Newmen, alias Parker, and found him writhing in bed, and supposably writhing in pain, they could no longer suppress the messengers from feeling hearts, and with eyes veiled with slum- brous tears the jury retired from this scene of mercy to the more cheering precincts of the Grand Jury room. Having their f with tears, the grand dozen sat own aud addressed Merny od = * — 1 og — — train te ru an 1 iis they related that Newman.an old ma and a risoner in the Jail, mee suffering ting pains — a dungeon coll. ey petitioned that the court corral the avenging Nemesis of the law mercy for the prisoner. It Newman be releasedon his Circuit Attorney obnéon, the special counsel for the prosecution, gave his in- dorsement to the plan. The prisoner was on his own bond, and was tenderly carried to the house of George B. Kinney, an ex-jail guard, at Twenty-third street and Clark avenue. It was supposed by Dr. E in. the Jail — — and Dr. Dixon that the old man was too ly crippled to leave bed for a time. To-day news was conveyed to Chietk that the gan CATTLE KING HAD SKIPPED 7 the recent lunar iilumination without leaving a ciew of any value to the shrewdest detective in the scent service. While Kinney was a guard in the Jail Newman was committed. Shortly after this Kinney’s resignation was requested for good cause. When Newman was re- leased be went at once to Kinney's house by pre- vious agreement, where he remained until last Monday, when he left. saying he was goins to spend the night at the house of afriend. Nothing has since been heard from him, and it is safe to presume that he has since tested the benefits to his delicate health of a change of air. By this means a man generaily accounted the shrewdest confidence operator ever bebind the bars at the Four Courts has made bis escape. Eariy last July atall, dark man with a grayish-biack full and clean shaven upper lip put m an appear- ance in this city. His clothes still carried the store tags on them and the soft hat had the crease of the box. He was accompanied by a young man whom he represented as his son. He sald his name was Charies H. Parker and that he had just come up from Texas in advance of a shipment of sev car loads of cattle. He had no trouble in making acquaintances. The advent of the ee rn yo 1 —— spread through the „ an a dayor twot cattle king was in the fy ds A half a dozen enter- tainers who anticipated seiling hima heavy bill of — before his de ure. one be was taken to his home ci . where the cattle king con- ducted himself faultiessly, apologizing for an un- couthness wh no one could discover. Several days passed, and between them his friends, the salesmen, introduced the cattle king to other circies less sacred than those of the fireside. To use the expression of the salesmen, the old man held up his end of the beam. It now me necessary to BOLSTER UP THE CREDIT a little, and it was sug that a trip be taken to the stock yards in St. Louis to ascertain whether the cattle had arrived. The king called a carriage and with a y of salesmen drove over to East St. Louis. At the yards Parker suddenly dis- covered a group of cow boys watering some stock, and suddeniy disappearing behind a fence he said: Thar's the bos. I don't want the rascals to see me or they'll want money and then they'll go off and get drunk. and that won't do.” Having thus seen the old man's stock the party re- turned to St. Louis, where a new diversion opened up to theold man. He was introduced to a youn lady employed in a N. Broadway emporium an living in East St. Louis. The acquaintance ripened capidly and was marriage pro- posed. While making love the cattle king did not neglect business. He called on the Mer- mod & Jaccard Jewelry Company to get a few Littie trinkets” for his intended bride and something for himself. These consisted of a watch worth $150. a chain worth $160, a pair of cuff buttons worth $30 and a ring worth $5), all charged to his account. At Wear, — . & Co.

Some Gas Facts That the Public is Late in Learning. to * Fresent of the Controversy Be- tween the Leuis and Water Gas Com- panies—Why the Latter Company Feels so Confideas. Whea anybody begins to tell what the courts have @ecided concerning the rights of the old St. Louis Gas Light Company,then everybody else gets tired and says: “Ob, shoot the old St. Louis Gas Light Company!" ‘This ie not respectful nor is it right; but it is naturel. If the gas didn’t wobble so of nights, or if it was not quite so shrunken and sad- die-colored, or if it didn't coét $250 for so many thousands of feet that nobody ever gets, or if the meters didn't run when the house is all dark and the pipes frozen up, or finally if the courts hadn't been deciding so many things about it in so many unexpected ways for so many years, public sentiment might be different and people might be More patient listeners. Still, circum- stances are so shaping themselves that everybody will have to give a portion of each day for some time to come to a consideration of this subject, or else be considered very ignorant. This being the case, the Post-DispatcH offers the following little quotation, which everybody can understand, and which is the only declaration which is to be found in the law books concerning the question a6 to whether the St. Louis Gas Light Company has or has not ee exclusive right to make and vend gasin the district it claims to control. „From what has been said (in the preceding pages of the opinion) the conclusion follows that so much of the Louis Gas Light Campany's charter as at- tempts to grant an exclusive privilege of making or vending Ricminating gas ia the city of St. Louis is void, and cannot be 1 enforced.”’ And yet half a milion MONOPOLY RIDDEN SUFFERERS of the city of St Louis have forover two years been smarting and chafing under the tmy@ession that the ~ ey Court had positively and irrevocably declared that the old gas golapauy was monarch of all it surveyed South of Washington avenue, and that no com- petitor bad any right whatever to enter the fleid, no matter how cheaply it proposed to furnish light to the publia It is a little bit hard to make intelligible to the average tax-payer and light-burner how it was that this very misiaken idea became so prevalent, and he is liable to think that since he has been fooled onee, he is getting fooled some more. But a homely iustration may serve the purposes of the patient aud inquiring ones. Let Mr. Soc. Newman, for instance, stand for the old gas company, and let Mr. Henry Overstolz stand for the city, end let a house and lot represent the old gas company's charter. Mr. Newman has beep m updisturbed jon of his house and lot for a good many years, with the understanding — owns it iu fee simple and that Mr. Overstolz shail, at a certain time (say 1865), take possession of it at an appraised vaiuation. One day Mr. Laclede comes aloug, declares that he doesn't believe Mr. Newman owns that house and lot peariy as much as he thinks he does, and begins to fence off a por- tion of the lot for is (Laciede’s) own use. Mr. Newman protests, and Mr. Laclede says to him: “I know what Im doing, and if YOU GO TO KICKING TOO MUCH I will go in and take part of your house, as well as your lot, and see what you ll do about it. Meanwhile. owing to numerous misunderstand- ings, Mr. Overstoiz doesn't buy the property in 1865, as he has a right todo. In order to settle all com- lications, Mr. Newman and Mr. Laclede and Mr. verstolz get together, and tala it over. As Mr. La- clede seems very determined. Mr. Newman agrees 0 give up of the prop- to Mr. Laclede, iaiug pe will stay be reaching for more. It is agreed that Mr. Overstolz can in 1800 take possession of the property thus oy Mr. Newman for an appraised value.

A COOK'S REAL ROMANCE. The Coachman Gives Her a Lottery Prize, but Fails to Gain Her Heart. From the Parts Morning News. as, the Coachman, had long been flirti with Whenever it was possible for hun to do so, Thomas went to the races and he gen- erally manages to have a little someth on the several events of an afternoon. 122 he used to get back home rather late and if it had not been for the cook he would often have gone hungry. On these occasions the fellow in- variably gave to Leontine a five-franc piece - and sometimes more than that. on, and Thomas no longer flirted with la cuisiniere, some other fair one having outlasted her in the race. The oth- er afternoon Leontine while out marketing bought an official list of the drawing, and when she arrived home discovered to her great joy that she was the owner of a ticket which calied for 100,000 francs! The feelings of poor Thomas when he heard the news may be easily i ined, but he lost no time in bewailing his bad iuck. At a flower store in Faubourg Saint Honore he bought a lovely quet for seven francs; then he wrote an ardent billet doux, and hiding it among tho flowers, left the package where he supposed the cook would find it. The femme de chambre was the first to enter the office, and supposing the bouquet was intended for madame, carried itatonce to the Marquise. . That good lady turned the love-letter over to her husband and threw the flowers at the r girl’s head. The Marquis recognized the handwriting and sent for the coachman, who confessed all. In the mean time the cook ad got herself up tidily, and accompanied by a tine-looking em- ployee of the American grocery at the corner of the Rue Lincoln, was on her way to look after her fortune. The money in her possession, sho returned to the mansion in the Champs-Elysees, 2 the regular eight days’ notice and went k to the kitchen, whither she was followed by the coachman. Mademoiseile, ecoutez-moi donc,” said he, pleadingly: “make me also the winner of u biz prize by giving me your heart and hand.” Oh. no,” was her reply, I am not so foolish as all that. I have my own idea, and she pushed Thomas out of the kitchen. Her friends say she will marry no man who has not been decorated. MORSELS OF GASTRONOMY.—"_"*” Gastronomic novelties, like good wine, seem to have been kept for the last of the season, for now they are sprung among a dining public in great profusion. Lovers of game will watch the operations vf the new organization of game dealers witha good deal of interest, more especiaily as they seek an extension of time for selling game. It is said of Careme that he held that to fully appreciate the taste and flavor of fine fish it should not be “‘absorbed in sauce.” If Careme were alive in these days he would f tly have his gastronomic sensibilities — Supper at the inaugral ball, the contract for which has been awarded the Hoffman House, will be made up of oysters, terrapin, game in season, ices, sandwiches and cake. As it will be a Democratic ball, there surely should be lemon poy.” There is said to have been great excitement in a Boston hotel dining-room the other day when one of the boarders actually discovered fish in a fishball served for breakfast. The cook of that hotel will probably receive a gold watch and chain. : Something new in culinary journalism will be a new paper called The Cook, and to make its gastronomic bow in a few weeks, The editor will be T. J. Murray, a steward of the Con- tinential, Philadelphia, and author of Salads and Sauces. A London publisher has issued a dainty little book called The Advantage of Oatmeal Diet, but whether he writes in the interest of Scotch dealers is not known. Oatmeal, according to the book, is notas muc gages et as a staple article of food as it should be. Lettuce used to be considered the proper salad to serve with game, but of late years celery has been given as a substitute with considerable success. With modern “force culture” there is only a brief time in the year when celery is not obtainable, although now many regard as the period when it is at its best.

McPheeters, presi- dent of the association, made an address, foreshad- owing, in a certain sense, a removal to other quar- ters, on which subject there are soine pertinent re- marks in an article elsewhere. It was decided that the chairmen should each submit a written report to the president every month. The following heads of committees were then chosen:- Religious work, Ed Krafft: commercial travelers, L. W. Stebbins; church, Geo. W. Jones; students, Mr. Spencer; literary society, Chas. H. Evans; music, H. M. Blossom; ushers, N. H. Parker; * oy Pres- ton Gibson; boarding houses, Paul Page: visita- tion of the sick, Chas. E. Ford; invitation, Olin J. Gary; membership, J. A. Parker: and reception, E. M. Philebaum. The Sunday night meeting com- mittee was left open, which keeps it inthe abie hands of Mr. C. R. Garrison. At the anniversary meeting of the T. M. C. A., Monday evening, Rev. Dr. W. W. Boyd in his re- marks adverted to the desirability of weeding the tramp element out of the . M. C. A. gatherings, and painted with shuddering disgust the result of coming in contact with a vermin-cov tramp. He also spoke of the necessity of having a place for art and social culture, and thought it would be an excellent thing he assuciation could get out of its resent dark hole. There are, on the other hand, workers in the T. M. C. A. that are identified with its progress, who see no need for those reflections on the poorer class. These yo men say that they have never yet suffered as muc annoyance and pain from the alleged vermin as they would if they should think that an immortai soul was lost through their neglect. They point to the Master's life and ask whether he kept aloof from the tramp of his day and whether he spent his time pointing 2 to an art gallery or to the higher gallery of And they are so satisfied with their present location that they wonder if the Lord made it an object to seek a iarly con- enial aristocratic neighborhood or whe be ed among the despised and forsaken.

Another Suit in the Collins-Munro Litiga- tion Filed To-Day. The spirit of litigation is evidently rife in the Munro family. This morning Mary E. Munro and John, her husband, instituted suit against John C. Collins for $10,000 damages for enticing away their year old boy. This makes the third suit filed by the same parties against Collins, two of which are pending and one has been decided. During her life-time, Mrs. Frank Hardesty adopted a giri named Helen Haus, and Hardesty, when he died left a will in which he left his property to his widow for her life ad at her death to Helen Haus, She became Mrs. John Munro, while Mrs. Hardesty five years after her husband's death mar- ried John C. Collins. Upon his wife's death Collins held on to all her property under a will she made. Mrs. Munro nee Helen Haus brought guits to recover both the — and personalty. Judge Lubke gave a judgment in her favor the other day for $5,000, and the realty suit isstill pending. The action filed this morning, after stating substantially the above facts, alle that Mrs. Munro has a child 14 years old by a former husband, John Benso who lived with Mrs. Hardesty after she marri Collins. Since her death the boy has been vascillating between his mother’s home and that of Collins. For the past three months the boy has been living with Mr. Collins, and the mother comes into court and says the — has been enticed away from ber and claims a balm of 810,00 for her mental pain and anguish, and the loss of the boy. Strange to say, the Petition does not specifically pray for the return of the boy, but only asks for damages. HIGHWAY ROBBERY, A Milkman Stopped and Rebbed of 8 by Two Men.
