CAIHO , Kjypt , Sept. 11. Dispatches Just
received from the front say that the North
Staffordshire regiment , numbering about 900
men , arrived at Koshch camp , the southern
most post on the Nile , yesterday , and will
be pushed forward to Absarratt today. The
third brigade has reached Absarratt safely
nnd the main body of cavalry Is arriving
there. The cavalry scouts report the
dervishes still In view south of Duglo , but
the enemy retreats at the slightest sign
of a forward movement. The Anglo-Egyp
tian scouts , feeling the way for the advance
guard , are steadily pushing on to Kusbar ,
fourteen miles further south , which will be
tbo next place occupied. Tbo troops , black
and white , arc full of enthusiasm and anx
ious for a brush with the enemy. The
weather is hot In the extreme , but the sol
diers are benefiting from being on the
move.
All the troops taking part In the expedi
tion are now on the march toward Dongola.
Duglo , hitherto held by n small force of
cavalry , Is being fortified and added to the
string of depots connecting the expedition
with Wady-Halfa , the real base of supplies.
The Intelligence department reports the
drrvlBlics gathering In force north of Don-
Kola. Clashes between thu dervishes and
the Anglo-Egyptian' are expected ut
any moment.
ADVANCE UP THE NILE.
Thus the ndvanco of the British Egyptian
expedition up the river Nile , with Dongola ,
if not Khartoum , us Its objective point. Is
now in full swing , after months of struggling
with terrific heat and cholera , during which
the work of rnHrond building and passing
gunboats In ' .sections up the rlvor and over
the cataracts lius been carried on Inces
santly under the direction of Drltlsh olllcers ,
a numbcof whom have already given up
their lives as a sacrifice to the task.
The operations began In March last when
troops were hurried up the Nile to Wady-
Halfa , the southernmost post , although the
railroad run to Surras , about forty mllca
south from Wady-Halfa. Since that time
the railroad , a desert campaign line , has
Icon extended to Akaslieh , fifty miles from
the latter place , to Kosheh , and thence to
Absarratt , about seventy-live miles.
In the first seven days of the campaign
over 4.000 men , In every way fully equipped ,
were moved southward , In spite of the great
difficulties of transportation , and now sonic
15,000 men , not Including natives employed
in transport service , are moving south with
a flotilla of about fifteen stern-wheel gun
boats , some of them towing 'over 200 other
boats and barges loaded with supplies and
ammunition. This fleet will keep constant
communication with Absarratt , now the
base from which the army Is operating.
At every station between Absarratt and
Wady-Halfa hospitals for the care ot the
wounded and sick have been established.
The sirdar , or commander of the Anglo-
Egyptian expedition , Sir Herbert H.
Kltchuier. has left nothing undone to
promote the success of the campaign against
the sultan of the Soudan , Abdullah El
Taalsha , otherwise Abdullah El Khali , who
claims to be the successor of the famous
Mahdl , . who caused the British so much
trouble years ago. It Is looked upon as
more than probable that the gunboats will
ploy n very Important part In the campaign.
They are from 100 to 175 feet long , have
twenty to twenty-seven feet beam , only
draw about two feet of water when fully
loaded , are able to make about fourteen
miles an hour , carrying a large number ot
men , ind tow barges , etc. , carrying many
more men.
GUN110ATS WELL AHMED.
Each gunboat carries a 12-pounder ,
quick-firing Maxim gun , able to discharge a
shot every three seconds , mounted forward
on an armored citadel deck. Amidships
there Is a conning tower and an electric
searchlight , another lighter Maxim gun
from seven to twenty feet above the water
line and the armament of the deadly boats
is completed with two quick-firing six-
pounders , nnd six lighter Maxim guns. He-
eldcs these guns , some of the larger gun-
lioats carry twenty-four-pounder Ann-
ntrongs , capable of delivering a very
effective ( ire at Jong range.
The hulls of the unbolts are constructed
In sections , onubltiiK thorn to be taken
apart and to be put together ag.iln in a
Ehort time. Finally the t-oHlors on board
Eland In the shallow hull , well protected
t > y the hatches , whl'.n ae oapablj of being
folded nnd which form an a 1'nlr.iblLrort -
nblo breastwork. It will be seen from these
preparations that the advice given to Hicks
Pasha , when ho left for Khartoum In 1S.V !
with 10,000 men , to "keep close to the
Nile , " Is to be closely followed In the pres
ent campaign , Hicks disregarded the rec
ommendation and perished with his entire
command in the Kordofan district.
The British troops taking part. In ono
way or the other , In the operations arc
drawn from tltn North Staffordshire regi
ment , the Surrey regiment , the Gloucester
regiment and the Ccjituught Hangers , the
( Second dragoons , royal artillery , and royal
engineers , not counting the detachments of
soldiers manning the gunboats. The general -
oral upon whom the khallfu relies to defeat
the Anglo-Egyptian troops Is the famous
Osmcn Dlgna , a thoroughly tried and able
warrior , who wax the great mahdt's moat
trusted lieutenant and who was with the
latter In all his campaigns. Ho has been
almost constantly In the saddle for about
twnlvo years and Is a commander thoroughly
respected by the Hrltluli , The number of
the khallfa'a followers la not known and
cannot bo accurately estimated. It la vari
ously placed at 40,000 to 100,000 men.

LONDON , Sopt. 11. The St. James' Gazette -
zetto this evening , commenting upon the
rlso In the bank rate and the causes of
the outflow of gold , says : "At any rate. It
Is the American who dominates the financial
situation and ho Is likely to continue to
do so until the election In November and
afterwords. As regards the prospects of
the election , most Englishmen aeaumc con
fidently that McKlnley will be ! ectod
and ITo probably will be , although It seems
to us undesirable to speculate too freely on
the elections In a country where public
opinion Is so easily Irritated by anything
In the nature of English patronage or crlt
Iclsm. EngllRhmen have no particular rea
son to regard with affection a party leader
whoso platform Includes a virulent de
nouncement of England and the open threat
that English debts will bo paid In depre
ciated currency. On the other hand , there
Is no occasion why they should enthuse
over a statesman whoso chief political
Achievement has been to raise Chinese wall
tariffs around American Industries In order
to malm and penalize the British exporter.
Besides , It would do no good In the long
run. If McKlnley Is supposed to have wen
with the help of English gold and Infill
cnces the reaction will be all the more
Intense when Br > an comes In , as Is not Im
probable , In 1000 , even though beaten In
November.
"The object of all Englishmen Is to bo
good friends with the people of the United
States , If the pestilential activity of the
politicians who misrepresent that people
will only allow It , and this end Is not
likely to bo facilitated by too violent par
tisanships. "

of Hie Sultan.
LONDON , Sept. 1'J. Mr. Henry H. As-
qtilth , formerly secretary of state for the
Home department , Jias addressed the follow
ing message to the Chronicle : "I shall
shortly address my constituents , when I
shall express my views at length , but I am
In entire accord with the conviction that
.
the time has come when Great Britain
should refuse to hold further terms with a
government which has become a mere In
strument for executing the purpose of a
will cither criminal or Insane. The Eu
ropean powers , by whose favor the sultan
holds his throne , cannot condone his post
crimes or Ignore further dangers without
sharing the guilt of the one and becoming
directly responsible for the other. I hope
wo shall witness such n manifestation of
opinion here as will save Great Britain from
any such complicity nnd will glvo strength
nnd authority to decided action on the part
of our Government. "
The Chronicle In an editorial applauds
Mr. Asqulth's strong message , as In every
way worthy a responsible statesman
Mr. Gladstone , In a letter on the same
subject , declares : "The use which the six
powers have made of remonstrance In the
past year has not been a mere failure or n
mockery , but a great Instrument ot mis
chief , because It was Implied that such a
matter can be disposed of by discussion , and
has thereby supplied wholesale nnd delib
erate murder , with the only assistance It
wanted , name'y. the assurance of Impunity.
In my Judgment , oven silence would be
preferable to such dlscu.-slon. "
The Dally News , liberal , commenting edi
torially upon Mr. Gladstone's letter , says :
"Tho first necessity of European peace la
the deposition of the sultan. "
The Chronicle and the Dally News and
other . newspapers have such headings over
the articles on this subject as "A Nation
Aroused , " etc. They publish columns of
accounts of meetings , protests of public
bodies and churches nnd of Influential men ,
nnd also an appeal from Frances Willord
to the 10,000 women's temperance unions
of the United States nnd Canada to raise
? ,
their voices against the massacres of the
Armenians.
A dispatch from Constantinople to the
Dally News says : "An official communica
tion to the newspapers has caused a sensa
.
tion. It contemplates the certainty of Ar
menian risings In the provinces , but holds
all officials responsible If matters develop
Into massacres- pillage or destruction of
property. At the same time the soldiers are
authorized to use their arms In self defense
agalns tall who attack them. This Is the
first time that an official communication has
mentioned the massacres and pillage. Turk
ish placards In Stamboul call upon the gov
ernment to pay the salaries of _ officials or
otherwise they threaten to help themselves. "
The Press association announces that a pri
vate dispatch from Constantinople confirms
the rumor that the deposition of the eultan
Is ) being seriously debated by the powers and
that Important developments are expected
with the action of the sheik , Ul-Islam
Mehmed Djamel Eddln Effendl , whose flat

\o Apprehension.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 11. Treasury offi
cials are not Inclined to the belief that
the action of the Bank of England In rais
ing the discount rate one-half of 1 per cent
will necessarily result In n prompt cessa I
tion of gold Imports. Gold Is always paid a
by the Bank of England on demand In
exchange for Bank of England notes , and
the only effect on gold Importations , it Is
said , can bo the indirect one of tightening
the money market. But even with this
advance it Is thought that importers , in
the present condition of the market , can
afford to pay the one-half of 1 per cent
nnd still make a profit. Nor are they con
fined to London for their supply , as shown
by the fact that a considerable proportion
of the recent Importations n.i-na from I'ranct
Altogether the officials do not regard the

HANFF , N. W. T. , Sept. 11. Dr. Horsey ,
the representative ot the Canadian gov
ernment , had a long Interview with LI
Hung Chang while en route here. In dis
cussing financial affairs , the viceroy asked
many questions mid In turn was asked
for his opinion on the silver question In
the United States. Ho replied : "My opinion
Is no doubt different from yours , because
I look at It from a Chinese standpoint. If
a silver president Is elected In the United
States It will benefit China In that It wilt
enhance the value of silver money and In
like manner , of course , It will benefit all
the great silver nations. "
"Do you think , " he was asked , "that the
election of a sliver president would make
[ J silver dollar worth as much as a gold
dollar ? "
"No , but It would make It inoro valuable
than It Is now. "
"What is your excellency's opinion of a
union ot all governments In respect to silver
as n currency ? "
"That is the correct solution , I believe , "
answered the viceroy. "I am In favor of
International bimetallism. "
The viceroy was later asked by a cor
respondent : "What did your excellency think
of President Cleveland ? "
The reply came very quickly : "I think ho
Is \ a great man with much moral courage.
Thcro can bo no doubt that ho Is the head
of his cabinet. "

v SAMPLE OF TIII3IH SONGS.
The Inng journey from Vermont had not
dampened their enthusiasm In the least. A
sample of their Hcntlments Is expressed In a
song by the glee club , from which the.si/
verses are taken :
The mills are n-stoppln' .

We- want yer , McKlntey , yes we do.

State Chalrma.n Merrill began the Mooches ,
Haying : "Wo como from a great unit
surprising victory. The battle \\a'e fought

his ballot with the deliberate purpose anj
full knowledge that In BO dolni ; ho WRB voting

emphatic condemnation of the false doctrines
which our people believe would bring dis
grace and disaster upon our country. The
battle In our atato was won because the
frco man of Vermont , after a full hearing-
and consideration of both sides , rejected
with unalterable determination the
pernicious heresies of our opponents.
"In this action the republicans of Vermont
were unanimous and the sense of their
duty lnthis great crisis brought them all
(
to the polls. Wo also had the direct and
active aid of a laigc number of patriotic
democrats , who placed love of country above-
