' It It a city of wonderful memories and
. perhapa of wonderful promise hleh
i Colonel Roosevelt la now approach!.... the
! city of Khartoum, capital of the Egyptian
Soudan, objective of General Kitchener's
triumphant advance In 1RI, place of
Chlneae Gordon's death In 1885 at the hand
of the Mahdl, home of Gordon college, Gor-
i don atatue and companion dcrvli h city to
jOmdurman. Just across the Nils the
I former Rough Rider will be sure to go with
' the greatest curiosity imaginable, to Ker-
rerl plalm, where on the morning of Sep
tember 2, 1838, occurred the bloodiest bat
tle In the history of modern warfare.
Here the British and Egyptian forces un-
! der Sirdar Kitchener met the followers of
the Mahdl under' the Khalifa. Kitchener
had about 22,000 men; there were 50,000
dervishes, the finest fighting natives of
Africa. In- a battle which lasted hardly
four hours the machine guns and Lee
Metfords killed 17,000 dervl.hes and wounded
between 10,000 and 16,000. The British and
Egyptian casualties' were only forty-eight
; killed and 423 wounded. Thus was Chinese
Gordon avenged, the power of the Mahdl
broken forevei and the march of clvlllxa
I tlon from Cairo to Cape Town relieved of
Its last serious native obstruction.
Omdurman Is three miles from Khar
toum and aeven due south from Kerrerl
: plains. Its population numbers about 50,000,
I but It Is big enough In area to accommo-
date nearly ten times that number. Indeed,
In the days of ls earthworks, fifteen years
I ago. It contained at times as many as
400,000 persons. The Inhabitants are almost
entirely Soudanese., Arab and Abyssinian,
with a scattering of Greek.
The New Khartoum.
' The new Khartoum, o"h the other hand,
' la the fairest city in central Africa. After
! the plans of Kitchener's engineers, It hat
been laid out along the lines of a collec
' tlon of union jacks. It Is said that Kltch-
ener himself roughly drew, on the sand of
the Khartoum beach his Idea for the re
r building of Gordon's city.
In the center of the town Is government
palace, surrounded by a spacious gar-
I den with groves of stately palms and other
I fine trees. Along broad avenues shaded
I with palms are other government buildings,
I clubs, a mosque, a beautiful hotel, con
sulates and residences. The site of Gor
don's death on January 26, 1885 after that
marvelous siege of 321 days Is marked by
a noble statue showing the hero of the
Bouderi mounted on a camel.
And near by is a great rectangular
shaped stone structure, Gordon Memorial
college, founded by Kitchener. Here the
youth of the Soudan are given instruction
In many branches of learning. Especial
emphasis Is placed on technical courses,
and In these the Soudanese have shown
thomselves wohderfrlly 'quick to learn.
Khartoum Is today the great connecting
link between Egypt on the north and the
& great still unsettled wild country to the
1 south. Southward beyond Khartoum there
la nothing until you get to the outpost
which Colonel Roosevelt recently reached,
Gondokoro, a former, slave depot. Go be
yond that and you are In the recesses of
the jungle. In .Uganda, and therein you
mint travel a long- time before you come
to any save savage habitations. The rail
road, after It loaves Khartoum, bends to
the eastward, passing just north of the
Uganda border and emerging at Nairobi,
thence continuing to the coast.
Since those memorable days when
Kitchener marched from the Atbara to
Khartoum the development of the Egypt
Ian Sudan has been steady. The number
kof settlements has been markedly In
creased, the great Sudanese tribes have
taken to farming and quiet pursuits, the
banks of the lower Vile are being utilised
more and more for agriculture, the Abys
sinian are quiet, thanks to numerous
British posts and the lesson of Kerrerl
plains, and civilization is slowly but surely
even surprisingly bringing peace and In
dustry to one of the last and bloodiest
frontiers of the world.
A doxen years ago sucit a journey as
Colonel Roosevelt is Just completing would
have been entirely out of the question.
From Suakim on the Red sea to Gallabat
on the Abyssinian frontleer, far southwest
to El Fasher, reigned unbeaten the hordes
of the Mahdl, several hundred thousand
strong. They had slain Gordon and his
garrison and In a great series of battles
beaten the Abysslnlans.
Conqaeat of the Sudan.
"In the summer of 18S6," as Winston
Churchill has written In "The River War,"
Vwhen all the troops had retreated to
Vrady Haifa and all the Sudan garrisons
had boen massacred, the British people
averted their eyes In shame and vexation
from the valley of the Nile. A long suc-
oeoalon of disasters had reached their dis
graceful culmination." ;
It was not until 1S9(! that the English
finally got under way to effect the recon
queet of the Sudan. "Before," according
to Mr. Bennett Burleigh, author of the
k-Khartoum Campaign," "there had been,
sis Mr. Gladstone after all appropriately
k termed them, military operations,' but not
a stats of war." In the spring of 1S92 Gen
eral Kitchener became the sirdar or com-umnder-tn-chlef
of Uie khedlval forces. Six
yeara later he had sufficiently reorganised
yttm Egyptian army, to begin the long de-,
HTM southern advance Into the Sudan.
Tba principal engagement which oc
mrr4 In 1SS7 were those at Abu Hamed
stnd Berber, the last campaign running
into the early part of 189S. On each oe
Ottrtcn the dervishes proved no match for
jtha -well equipped British forces. They
f.wwrej routed with much slaughter. The
jjkrtnolpal battle which preceded Omdurman
fw Atbara. Here on April 8, Mahmud,
;im of the khalifa's chief lieutenants, with
12.000 men. attacked Uie British forces and
. 'was signally defated. Mahmud was cap
tured and bis army was practloally wiped
out. Over 3,009 were killed on the field
of battle; scarcely 4.000 escaped. From that
.!ar the British army was ail eagerness to
-et to Khartoum.
It was a month's march from Atbara to
Omdurman across the desert, following
closely the Hue of the Nile. Nearly 25,000
strong, the British and Egyptian forces
left the scene of their spring victory, and,
deatfte many privations, arrived, only a
few hundred leas, in good condition on the
, plains of Kerrerl. The dervishes paid them
! -little attention .enruute. The Khalifa had
evidently planned to meet them as far as
jKWKlble from their base and. within sight
of bra capital, overwhelm and then anni
'lillata them at hit leisure.
; The DerlalT Battle.
The decisive meeting between the forces
of civilization and these of savagery broke
inte two phases, the first beginning at I
o'clock In the morning; and continuing for
about two hours, the second concerning
Itself chiefly with a last desperate ruah
of the dervishes on Sir Hector McDonald's
brigade. Then there vti the
charga of ha Vwwty-flnrt busoera.
Itennett SorMgn. oorresjMsnaent at the
London Telegraph, who was en the field of
battle, has written this memorable descrip
tion of the first part of the struggle:
"It was a magnificent spectacle that rose
before the Sirdar's army aa the Dervish
columns came sweeping into view, filling
the landscape between Surgham and I'm
Mutragan. In thst great multitude were
gathered the flerrest, most sanguinary
body of lavage warriors the world has
ever held or known. Arabs and blacks,
chosen by Abdullah himself, picked out be
cause of their tried courage, strength and
devotion the flower of the fighting Soudan
tribes.
"A great shout of exultation went up
from the Dervish legions when thev saw
ranged In the low ground before them the
Sirdar's small army, their Imagined prey.
There was a mighty waiving of banners
and flashing of steel when, breaking into
a run, they bent forward to close upon us.
The British division rose to their feet to
be ready and the Khedlval troops closed
up their ranks.
"Never was there a grander, mors Im
posing militant display seen than when the
great Dervish army rushed to engage,
heedless of life or death. The hour
was 8:35 a. m. Almost at first shot the
true range was found. Quick aa thought
thereafter the eighteen guns on our left
began raining fire. Iron and lead upon the
leading and main columns of the en
emy. Aa Anfsl Sceae.
"The air was torn with hurtling shell at
the first awful salvo, when shrapnel burst
lit all directions, smitting the Dervishes aa
with heaven's thunderbolts and strewing
the ground with maimed and dead. The
leading columns paused as If they had re
ceived a shock or had stopped to catch
breath. Hundreds had been slain in that
one discharge, and the fire was rapidly in
creasing, not slackening. Disregarding
their dead and wounded, the Dervishes
closed their ranks as with one accord and
came on with fresh energy. Surely there
was never wilder courage displayed.
"There was marvelous vitality In the
Dervish masses. Thousands were knocked
over by the tcreaminr. huratinr -..ir.
which made hills and plain ring with thun
derous uproar. Never was a column of
men so hammered and mutilated and prob
ably so surprised. They were torn and
thrown about aa puppets before the hur
ricane of shell fire and lain In windrows
like cut grain before the hail of the Lee
Metfords. Twelve hundred short yards
away Surgham's bare slopes were being
literally 'covered with corpses and writhing
wounded.
"In sheer blundering brutlshnass the fe
rocious dervishes tried to stem the storm.
Wave followed wave of men. They surged
together, Inviting greater disaster, but al
was striving to get nearer us. Their front
had covered the whole slopes of Jebel Surg
ham, and their left overlapped part of the
KhaUfa's right. . Death was . reaping
gigantic harveat. Hecatombs of slain were
being spread everywhere in front The fight
was terrible, the slaughted dreadful,
(rnelal Stare of Actios.
"For five, ten minutes, less or more
the drama being enacted was too fearful
and fascinating for one to take note of
tlme-Yacoub and his legions still strove to
breast 'the whirlwind of destruction Involv
ing them. SUll the crucial stag of the
first action was not over. So far
It had been a gunner's day, and to ths
artillery in the preliminary stages if not
with one exception In the lafer, belonged
the full honors of the fight. At length,
with one mind, banner bearers and all of
the dervish columns remaining Intact faced
to the left and moved behind the western
hills.
"Out of Immediate danger and reformed,
the Khalifa and Tacoub determined nn
second attack. With a rush like a moun
tain torrent, three columns spouted from
shallow ravines and at a break-neck- nin
came forward. Part of Wad-Melik's men
uprose from the west sides of Surgham,
the Khalifa and Yacoub came utwin tim
from the southwest, and a smaller bodv
from the west.
'In hsJf-ct?llrlum and full frnv
rushed the dervishes. Our guns, knowing
me range to a nicety for they were able
to see landmarks put down the day before
hurled at them avalanches of shell. The
vivid air blazed and shook, and the hail
of Lee-Metfords cut like mlarhtv aevthe.
lanes In the columns massed ten deep.
Greater resolution and bravery no men
ver possessed. In face of destruction
and death, they continued their wild race.
nut tney were thinning or being thinned aa
they drew nearer. When about 1100 varvi.
away, a body of horsemen, 200 or so, the
Khalifas own horsemen, tribesmen,
Taalsha Baccara, chiefs and mlri a.ttin..
spurs to their horses, charged direct for
me sere Da.
'Cannons and Maxims smaahad them
through. Infantry bullets beat against and
pierced through them. At every stride their
numbers diminished, horses and riders being
literally blown over or cut and thrown
down. Undaunted, a remnant held on to
within 200 or JoO yards of Colonel Maxwell's
line, where the last of the gallant foeinen
tumbled and bit the utit.
"Then it waa that the mnm r.r h
army of the Khalifa began to melt away.
il was mora than human nature could
bear. The dense columns had shrunk to
companies, the companies to driblets, which
finally fled westward to the hills, leaving
the fields white with Jlbbeh-clad corpses,
like a landscape dotted with snow drifts."
The Flats. v
After this there was one last avalanche
of the dervishes on the imnrnihi
British square, a particularly desperate at
tempt io overwhelm Colonel Hector Mac
Djnuld's brigade. Thev were asaln re
pulsed with frightful slaughter. In com
plete disorder then they retreated to Om
durman pursued by tho eager British and
Egyptians, Kitchener himself at the head
or ma rorces. The Khalifa's stronghold
was taken without serious oDnoslilon hut
the Khalifa himself managed to escape.
Subsequently at Omdsbrxikat he was killed
by a force under the present sirdar, Sir
Reginald Wlngate.
One of the tirst acta of the rnnnnernra
was to exhume the body of the Mahdi and
rase his tomb. On the morrow of the day
after the battle the officers crossed the
river and marched solemnly to the ruins
of the late governor general's palace, la
the square fronting the ateus where the
dervishes slew hint on January 26. 1&55,
Chinese Gordon was at last given a Chris
tian burial.
"Thu with . Maxim Xordenfeldt and
Bible," as George Warrenton Steevens has
written, "we burled Gordon after the man
ner of his race. Thu lone delavrri itutv
was done. We left Gordon alone again
but alone in majesty under the conquering
design or his own people." Boston Herald.

Decision
that
NEW YORK, March B.-Th wavering
price movement In today's slock market
reflected the lack of conviction over the
speculative outlook. The news from Phila
delphia was partly responsible for this.
The extent of the response to the osll for
a general strike there. In Itself, threat
ened an amount of disturbance of profit
able activities sufficient to command the
attention of those Interested In company
shares.
There was a notable absence of the at
tempts which were made at the end of
last week to arouse apprehension over
a possible decision to be handed down on
thst day by the aupreme court In the
American Tobacco case. The rise in Ameri
can Tobacco shares In the outside market
this week has impressed speculative wentl
ment on this suhject more than the more
direct contemplation of tho government
suit against the company. The move
ment In the tobacco shares, in fact, was
made an Important consideration in the
support of the general stock market.
The support accorded 'stocks associated
with the name of J. P. Morgan & Co.,
stood out rather prominently in the rise
at the end of the session. The large par
ticipation of that firm In the bond issues,
which are coming upon tho market Is a
feature of the situation. Tho nvarkt did
not have to digest the hank statement,
since It was not published until after the
close. The loss of 10.597,M In the actual
cash holdings of the banks, compared
with preliminary estimates of a gain of
several millions. As loans expanded at
the same time the effect on the surplus
was intensified, bringing the decrease in
that Item up to $9,370,875. Discounts con
tinued to rise In Tondon and New York
bankers are still discussing the likelihood
of an outflow of gold from New York.

CHICAGO. March 6. The wheat market
broke violently here today, following a
moderate upturn early In the session and
closed at almost the bottom, with prices
c to ml4c below the final figures ot
the previous day. Corn and oats followed
the course of wheat and closed weak at
declines of Ho to c and c to Ho, re
spectively. Provisions also closed heavy at
net losses of 6o to 7Hc.
ine slump in wheat occurred during the
final hour of trading end was caused by
general selling brought out by favorable
wenither conditions now prevailing In the
new crop In tho southwest. Several promi
nent Interests were liberal sellers and this
caused free sales by pit traders and small
noiaers. in audition to being depressed
by the bright outlook for the winter crop
the market waa also bearlshly affected by
weak cables and extremely Black demand
for cash grain. Cash premiums here were
reported the weakest in several months.
Inirlng the first half of the day the market
displayed considerable firmness, owing to
covering by shorts, who bought freely of
tn juiy aeuvery. when this demand was
fatlsfled, however, prices were easily
forced down, owing to the absence of any
material support. From $1.13'i.May sold
orr to ii.iz, while July dropped rrom $1.05
(&1.06 to $1.03. The close was only a
trifle above the lowest point, final figures
on May neing at $1.12, July closed at
1.03&1.03. .
Lively demand bv shorts earlv In the
session resulted In a stiff advance In the
price of all deliveries of corn, but the late
break In wheat knocked the props trom
under the market and declines ranging from

about steady, although some cars sold
aoout o higher. No. S yellow selling at

CATTLE The market was practically
bare of supplies today, but the total fur
tne week shows up very well, tnere naving
been a gain of over 6,000 head, as compared
with the aame week last veer. Still re
ceipts this week have fallen short of the
Dig run last week by about 2,600 neaa.
Luring the first half of the week values on
beef cattle gradually firmed up, reaching
the high point on Wednesday, when the
trade waa very active at prices 26c or more
higher than the close of the previous week.
On Thursday there was a sharp reaction,
which wiped out a part of this gain, but
still at the close -of the week the market
Is as much aa 10yi5c higher than at the
close of last week. While no strictly choice
or prime beeves have been received, as
high aa 17.10 was paid during the week.
Cows and heifers also advanced very
rapidly during the first half of the week,
in fact an kinds 01 Dutcner siock were
hieher on Wednasdav. After Thursday's
reaction, the market was still around 1016o
higher for the week. .
Heavy feeders posaeslng quality were ac
tive sellers every day at good, strong prices,
last week's high prices having been fully
maintained. Oood to choice light yearlings
also sold to good advantage, but common
and thin yearlings were slow and as muoh
aa 25c, lower, owing to the fact that too
many rattle of that description are coming
at a time when the demand was rather
mall.

HOGS The hog market continued to Im
prove this morning on a Hunt supply.
Packers needed a few loads to keep their
killing gangs at work and the big portion
of total receipts changed hands in very
good aeson at prices that were Just about
a dime higher than yesterday's averatre.
Today's advance, of course, elevates the
market to new hlch levels, both In point
of tops and average cost.
A spread of $9.6VU4.7i purchased most of
the offerings, as compared with yesterday's
hulk of $9.&o'9.65. Tops reached t.82Vi, us
compared with yesterday's record tops of
$9 76 and tops of $9 40 a week ago.
For the week supply shows a nominal
decrease, as comred with last week's
run, but a very large shrinkagn as com
pared with receipts the same week last
year. The provision trade Is on a hand-to-mouth
basis and substantlul advances in
products almost daily, coupled with a
clamorous eastern demand for live hogs,
have been factors that have helped to
make the last week another record smasher
at this point. The pet advance In prices
over last week's cloxe is pretty close to
40e.
The idemand cased off toward the close
and a few shipments that came In on late
trains did not sell to aa good advantage
as eurHer hogs, most of the last salea rul
ing about a nickel lower than at the open
ing. Representative sales:

SH1SKP It was a sheep market with
empty pens today, as is usually the caw
on a Saturday, not enough stock being
received to test values.
Aside from a dime higher market In both
the sheep and the lamb departments Mon
day the trade has experienced Hula change
this week as far as prices are concerned.
Supply has been normal with last week, but
shows a large shrinkage as compared with
the same week last year. Any deficiency
in numbers, however, has been more than
made up In quality. Colorados are run
ning freely and a big slice of the crop
consists of Mexicans that are high-dressers.
There has never been a time, of course,
when Mexican quality did not command Its
due premium on the open market, but pack
ers appear to be eitpeclully anxious for
the betler classes this year and the fin
ished delegation Is meeting with a warm
reception. The best lambs here lately sold
at $9. to and the frequency of $9. 009. t:
sales has been one of the notable festuro
of the trade. Never before at this point
have March prices soared to such lofty
levels, and only once before in the history
of the trade have tumbs reached $9.35.
The demand for live muttons, ewes es
pecially, has been even more urgent than
the call for lambs 'during the last fsw
flays, improved quality, plus limited sup
ply, has left little to be desired In the way
of competition and everything has moved
readily at all times. Current prices are
Just about lit!5c higher than the close .of

(Shearing stuff has been meeting with the
same brisk demand, but there has been
very little of 11 available and the volume
of business was necesxarlly small. Wooled
lambs were taken bade Into the country

plenty of flesh.
