CHECK TO THE KHED1VE.

Tho Khedive Of Egypt has me: with n sting
gering biow. His frat marked attc'npt to
seize tic territory which llo Inns SO long covot-
ell, Alysstnia, hns ended in a most disas-
trous failure. Tho English conquered tile
country with not largo forco with comparH-
tive case. The Khciivo Inns been foolish
enough to think that Egyptians would do just
whnt English and Irish soldiers 1lave done.
Ic sent, Bomo three mouths ago, n
force Of 1000 mcu, armed with Bplen-
did American rifles and commanded by
u Danish officer Of skill ind bravery, Col.
AnESpnoor, to tho Abyssinian frontier. Tho
littlo army was landed on tho coast,
mud for tou days swept tho sc0tterod de-
tachments of opposing troops before
It without difficulty. Elatod by his
SUCCESS, AnEsDnoor left part Of his
force to garrison tho conquered provirce
of Hamactn, which lies along tho coast, and
pushed into tho interior with the rest Of his
men. When 10 was some distance from tho
garr1sons, the main Abyssinian army appeared
in force and surrounded lin. Tho official
reports mado to tho Khedivo state that this
army was 10000 strong, but this is doubtless
gross exaggeration. No vanquishcd COM
mander cyor admits that tho enemy did not
have at 1cnst ten men to his one. Bit 1t iB
known TINT tho Abyssiniaus wcro led by their
King In person that the second in command
was m English officer, K1RHuAM by name,
who rcmnined In tho country when tho
British army left it; and tint the men
were armed with repeating rifles. The
Egyptians formed n hollow squaro aud fought
from enrly morning to afternoon. AnENDRoor
wns ono Of tho first to fall. Nearly tho whole
detachment was Slot down, md the few sur,
vivors wcro tnlson prisoners only whom theis
ammunition was exhausted. The Abyssininna,
aftor this successful military mus sacre maroh.
cd into Ilamacin md bcsiogod tho Egyptian
garriBons there. Tho latter, however, managed
to escape. About onc-llalf tho invading army
got back to Egypt. The defeat made n pro
ports Of tho Immense loss Of life
sustained by the victorious forces fail
ed to breai tho blow Of tho wholly
unexpected repulse. A new army Of nearl,
10000 mon has already been sent from Sue;
to the Abyssinian coast. Tho Commander.
in Chief Of tho Egyptian forces, RA1n
PASTA, goos with it. Elephants, imported
from India, aro skipped in order that the,
1nny carry cannon over tho mountains, rs tl,'
English did in 1868. 4 number of American
md English officers arc on tho staff. A grca
deal depends upon the Issue. This is th
Khcdivt's final effort. Flo strikes with nj
his might. Abyssinia need not fear conques
for yoara to como if Bho can parry this on
1 blow.

Foreign aiyiccs represent that the grain
trado of Russia Is in stato Of collapse, and
thnt sovcro monetary crisis now exists ut
Odessa and othor Black sca ports. One
cnnso for this depressed condition Of affairs
is stnted to bo the immense falling of in the
expectation Of brcsdstuffs from Russia It
also appears that during the Inst eight years,
while this decrease in the Russian export
trade has been going on, tho shipments Of
breadstuGs from the United States to English
rorta hare been gradually increasing, until
the figures, which were largely IN favor Of
Russia in 1867, had in 1873 become reversed,
SO that in tho latter year Great Dritain i'm.
ported moro than twice ns much grain entl

OFFICIAL C3MPLICIfY IN THE WH13RY
RING.
Within the last few days VIC have published
the statement of "a Chicago dstller" aud
Of citizen who WIS employed by tho st.
Louis Ring to manage their nffairs, but who
upon examination declined to do SO, and these
together furnish protty cloar explanation Of
tho whole business, md as plainly locates the
entiro responsibility for all the illegality aud
dishonesty where 1t properly belongs, aud
ths. is upon tho unfaithful AMI corrupt Gov
ernmcnt ot1icors, local and at Washington.
Let us giyo tho facts disclosed in these two
statements.
Mr.. Al1LLZn, ono OF tho distillors under
arrest, declared that " it WAS Tho willful
neglect Of tho Revenue Bureau ut Washington
| that brought this trouble on the distillors,"
and in proof states Tint as long ago as 1871
| o1ers were malo to persons in Cincinnati
and Chicn3o to run distillories upon tho fol.
lowing Terms That the distiller should selnct
his own officers. who would not be interferea
with, and the Bpoila wcro to be Divided. In
tins, these offers found willing acceptors, md
tho crooked appeared on the market. The
lissilers then had n general organization to
break up the illicit trnlo. In the fall Of 1871
as much as $4,000 bushels Of daily capacity
was enrolled in the Association. At that tinle
the tar was 80 cants por gallon and an III.
| direct tax Of Ii cents a gallon; on the
latter tax there was credit OF sixty days
A practice grew up Of running distil!erIes
Eisty days aud then closing, tho whisky
going on tho market at u cents gallon leEa
than other dstllers could afford to do 30.
The Association appealed to the Committee
OIL Ways and Means to consolidate the taxes,
which Congress agreed TO do. Afr. DouoIAss
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue, consented
10 furnish the Association ovosy month Will
q list Of all higLwino distillorics in tho Untct
StAses, with tho particulars Of their daily
operations This rendered Illicit t!intillntio,
impossible, because tho other distil!urs wert
thus able to detect the frauh. After tws
months tho Commissioner refused 10 f,.rnisl
tho list my longer, thus defeating tla objcc
of tho Association. At this tina Ncv
