AYOOB KHANS VICTORY.

LONDON, August S-The Viceroy of
India telegraphs the following report
from General St. John, under date of
Candahar, July 29th: General Burrows
marched from Kushkil Nakud on the
morning of the 9th, having heard that
Ayoob Khan's advanced guard had occu-
pied the main road three miles from the
latter place. The enemy's cavalry ap-
peared, advancing from the direction of
Hyderabad. The artillery and cavalry
engaged them a5out 9 o'clock in the
morning. Shortly afterward the whole
force of the enemy appeared, formed in
line of battle, with seven regiments of
regulars in the centre, three others in
reserve, 1000 cavalry on the right, 400
cavalry and 1000 irregular infantry on
the left, and other cavalry and irregulars
in reserve, and five or six batteries of
guns, including oneof breech-loaders, the
total force being 10000. The ground
was slightly unduating. The enemy
was posted in the best position. Until
l o'clock in the afternoon the action was
confined to artillerv fire. Which was so
well sustained and directed by the enc
my that our superior armament failed to
compensate for the inferior number of
guns. After rifle fire began our breech-
leaders told, but vigorous advance of
cavalry against Our left, and of Ghazis
along the front caused the native infant
ry to fall back in confusion on the sixty
sixth regiment, abandoning two guns.
Our formation being lost, the infantry re-
treated slowly, in spite of gallant efforts
of General Burrows to rally them, and
were cut off from the cavalry and artil-
lery. This was at o'clock in the after
noon, and the camp followers and bag
gage were streaming towards Candahar.
After a severe fight in inclosed ground,
General Burrows succeeded in extricat-
ing the infantry and brought them into
line in retreat. No effort would turn the
fugitives from the main road, which is
without water at his season of the year,
and thus majority Of the casualties oc-
Cured from men falling from thirst and
exhaustion. The enemy's pursuit con-
tinued to within ten miles of Candahar,
but was not Vigorous. The cavalry and
artillery, with few infantry, reached
the banks of the river Argandale, forty
miles from the scene of action, at Z
o'clock next morning, many not having
tasted water since the previous morning.
Nearly all of our ammunition was lost, as
also were 1,1O0 rifles and two nine
FOUNDER guns. Our loss is estimated :
Killed and missing, sixty-sixth regiment,
400; grenadiers, $50; Jacobs rifles,
$50 artillery, 40 sappers, %; caval-
ry, 60.

CENSUS RETURNS IN BULK.--The Gen.
sus Bureau at Washington has received
472 boxes of portfolios from Census Sup
ervisors throughout the country. Each
box contains about thirty portfolios and
each portfolio represents the work of an
enumerator. In all nearly 10000 enum-
orator have been engaged upon the GEN.
sus, SO these boxes contain about half the
returns. Since there are daily invoices
of boxes, which are becoming now very
large, it is expected that within few
weeks all the returns will have been re-
ceived, Singularly enough, there are but
two States whose returns are yet COM
pleted. Rhode Island and New Hamp--
shire are the two from which full reports,
are known to have been received. An
nouncements have already been made
of 6tals as to inhabitants in those States.
General Walker, Superintendent of Cen
sus says, however, that implicit reliance
should not be placed upon such totals, for
the reason that in cases in which they
have been tested before they were found
on inspection to be almost invariably in,

THE CANADIAN PACIFIC RAIL-
Road.
New York Tribune.
New York Tribune,

Three Cabinet Ministers of the Domin-
ion of Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald,
Sir Charles Tupper and Mr.. Pope, arrived
cate to arrange the terms upon which a
capital G20,000,000 can be raised for the
purpose of constructing the Canada Paci-
ic Railway The consideration offered
to investors in new company is 10000
900 acres of land; but as the value of
this land is dependent upon the COM
pletion of the railway, it follows that
English capitalists are scarcely likely to
purchase stock without a Government
guarantee either from the Imperial or
the Dominion Executive. Such guaran-
tee would involve the payment of interest
amounting to at least $3,000.000 year
This is not likely to be met by the I'M
perial exchequer, and it must therefore
devolve upon the dominion. The Echo
thinks that with population of only
about 1000, 600 this would be 3. most ser
ious burden. The Canada Pacific Rail-
way has already proved a disastrous con-
ception to former Conservative Govern
ment under Sir John A. McDonald; and
it might again imperil his Administra-
ton, and, no less, his reputation, if un-
der the influence of financiers whose in
terest lies in floating a gigantic company,
and under an undue desire to render, his
name illustrious by doing some great
thing, he should allow his mind to be di-
verted from the true welfare and the solid
prosperity of the sparse population whose
chief administrator he has the privilege
to be. Only government of the capac
ity of Great Britain, or that of the United
States, is equal to building railway
across the great American Continent: and
it is undesirable that any lesser power
should make the attempt.

DIR. TANNER SUCCESSFUL.

New YORK, August 7.-Dr. Tanner
at noon to-day finished his fast of forty
days. At big gh noon, the time being up,
and the task finished, the crowd cheered
Tanner enthusiastically. About one
thousand persons were in the hall, and
an immense number ofpeople on the side
walk The doctor drank glass of milk,
and called for a Georgia watermelon.
This he tapped, dug his hand into it and
ate heartily. When demonstrated with,
he asked to be left alone, saying: "No,
my lord, am running this now.' when he
placed the glass of milk to his mouth
he remarked: Gentlemen, you don't
believe that's good!" The signal for the
a factory in the vicinity. When it blew
Tanner had peach in his hand, but be-
fore he could put it into his mouth some
body snatched it away. In response to
the plaudits of the assemblage Tanner,
who was sitting on chair, placed on the
table, waved his handkerchief over his
head At quarter past twelve Tanner
got down from the table and left the hall
in hack in charge of DIR. Gum, who
took him to his own residence, where he
will receive careful medical treatment.
Dr. Tanner weighed at the end of his
fast 1919 pounds; loss Sc pounds in 40
days.
On leaving the hall, the doctor walked
unassisted down the stairs, with slice of
melon in his hand. Hereceived an ovation
from the crowd in the street, shops and
windows and exhibited much gratifica
ton at his hearty reception. He ordered
the cover of the carriage thrown back,
and joked and talked with the crowd that
surrounded the vehicle. After two or
three dozen had iaped hs
by the coat and held him in his seat to
prevent him from firing himself out.
On reaching the residence of DIR. Gum,
Tanner lay down in the front parlor and
endeavored to sleep. The milk and water
melon had not disagreed with him.

RAISING QUAILS IN 4 TAME
STATE.

RARrrAN N. j., August 2.-Henry
Benbrook, dealer in game residing here,
has succeeded in raising young quails,
an operation that has been tried in the
United States repeatedly, but which
hitherto has proved futile. -Four years
ago he captured two Morris County
quails, the female being lowland and the
male highland. The female laid twenty
four eggs the first year, but could not be
induced to set. The second year Mr..
Benbrook was in Canada, and nothing
was done with the birds. The third year
the female made it's nest, laid twelve eggs,
and after setting ten days died. The
male bird then sat on the eggs, and six
quails were hatched. They were all
raised by Benbrook, and are still living.
These young quails began laying on May
p last, and up to July 81 have laid 1O8
eggs, but they show no signs of setting as
yet. Some of the eggs were placed un-
der bantam chicken and six of them
hatched, and the quails are alive to-day.
This experiment Of raising young quails
has been undertaken by game societies
all over the world for years, but this is
the first time any one has succeeded, so
far as the record shows.

The old man Bender, under arrest,
with his wife, in Nebraska, has made a
full confession of the murders committed
by himself and the members of the farni-
ly while keeping tavern in Kansas. His
horrible recital substantially agrees with
that of his wife. The couple will at ones.
be transferred to the scene of their crimes
in Kansas. Their daughter Kate and
their son John have not yet been capt11-
ed, but officers are on their track II
would seem that Kate was the worst OF
the lot, she being in the cellar with a
knife, with which she expeditiously cut the
throats of the victims who were precip-
tated through a trap in the floor.

Bender's children, by his first wife, John

cousin Maggie. They kept resort for
travellers and called it Bender's Hotel.
They had committed no murders prior to
the old folks arrival, but in course of
time old Bender arranged trap door
and then numbering Operations began
Kate at one time had man in bed with
her and she cut his throat and slept till
morning beside the corpse. His money
was divided. She never did injury to the
horse thieves and cut the throats of those
who cane to the house, but entertained
them with her cousin Maggie. No
murders were committed by the family
after they fed from Kansas. Old Bender
has confessed, believing the old woman
has escaped. His story tallies with his

the whole family and their crimes. The

The now venerable John G. Fremont,
the republican candidate for the Presiden-
cy in 1856, received a cordial greeting
Tuesday evening at the Coleman House,
in New York city, from the members of
the Republican Central Campaign Club.
In little speech which the pathfinder
of old made in response to the welcome
of the club, he said among other things,
that owe are well satisfied with General
Garfield and General Arthur The
Generals voice is in a feeble condition,
and his remarks were necessarily brief.
The General is now Governor of Arizona

three hundred members and recruiting Is
going on. Gen. F. w. James, who Is
a general of the Texas militia, has been
given command of the department en-
bracing Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and
California. He has appointed staff and
a consultation has been held but the re-
suits have not yet transpired. The move
ment is attracting good deal of atten-

THE FORREST ESTATE.
A CLAIMANT TURNS UP IN SCOTLAND.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 3.--An eff
fort is now being made to break the will
of the late Edwin Forrest, the eminent
tragedian, which, if successful, will result
in depriving the Forrest Home Of several
hundred thousand dollars and will trans
fer that amount of cash into his pockets
of William B. Forrest, distant cousin
of the deceased, now living in Scotland.
For few days past number Of Phila-
delphians, intimates OF the great actor,
have been called upon, through process
issuing out of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, to tell what they
know concerning the family connections
of Forrest, the number of his brothers
and sisters, and the time and place of
their respective deaths. The purpose of
this is to show that Forests immediate
family are all deceased, including his
father and mother and brothers and sis
ters and that the clause in his will which
gives to the Forrest Home several hun
dred thousand dollars worth of proper
ty situated in the State of New York is
void and of no effect respecting the New
York property, because, as it is claimed
a law OF that state prevents testator from
leaving his property to a corporation not
in being, OF, as the lawyers say, not in
existence at the time the will of the ac-
tor was made, and if the New York law
holds good then the property in the State
will 60 to Forests relatives for property
situated in New York is governed by the
law of the State. Taking advantage of
the New York law, and claiming that he
is the only living relative of the dead
actor, William B. Forrest has begun suit
in the Supreme Court of New York
against the Forrest Home, and it is stated
that large amount of testimony has been
taken by his attorney, John Townshend,
of that city, concerning the pedigree Of
the Forrest family in Scotland, and sup
porting the claim of William B. Forrest
that he is the only living relative, and as
such is entitled to that portion of the es-
tate situated in New York.
