Arabi's Troops Making an Attack on the
British Lines-A Slight SI<irmish with No
CasualIties-The Egyptians in Force at
AbOuklr.
| ALEXANDRIA, August 4.-Adda, one of
the chief clerks in the office of the Director
General of Public Accounts, has arrived here
from Cairo, from which city he started on
the LIST inst. He says that the arrival in
Cairo on Sunday of Midshipman De Chair,
the English captive, caused great excitement.
! lie was taken in a closed carriage, which
was accompanied by thousands of natives
shouting, "The Sultan is victorious" They
We're under the impression that the prisoner
was Admiral Seymour. Adda says that
several trains with troops had left Cairo
Tor Tel-el-Kebir, place half way
between Cairo and Ismailia, where
batteries were being erected. He was in
| formed that 16 trains would be sent to Tel
el-Kebir. The treasury of the Finance Min
istry contained e200 900, which was intact
when Adda left Cairo. AIDA says that
there is council of war every evening at
| the Ministry Of War in Cairo. All the sub
| Ministers except the sub Minister of Finance
are still at their posts. No European shops
| have been opened.
An unconfrmed rumor is current here
that the European quarter of Cairo has been
fired.
Complete arrangements have been made
for the occupation of the Meks forts by the
naval contingent.
Three officials of the Land and Mortgage
Company stationed near Kafr-el-Dwar have
been safely escorted to Isnlailia by order of
Arab Pasha The only European remain
ing with Arab Pasha is the Swiss Minet.
The ironclad train, with a working party
on board, will endeavor to repair the rail
way.
The Porte has informed the Khediye's
Government that 1t has drawn upon it for
the expenses of the expedition to Egypt.
Sir Auckland Colvin, the acting British
Consul-General, visited all the banks to-day
and warned them against drafts of the
Turkish Government.
In the reconnaissance on Thursday
breast-work was found finished at point
on the Malimoudieh Canal already occupied
by the British picket. 1t is clear that Arab
Pasha means to remain on the defensive.
Ills real resistance will begin at the lines at
kair-el-Dwar. The health of the troops is
excellent, only one and half per cent.
being sick.
Affairs at Port Said are quiet On Tues
day quarter OF million pounds for service
debt was collected in the provinces, in
obedience to an order of Arab Pasha. A
Bedouin sheikh says that Arab has about
10000 Bedouins, who will be sent to various
parts of the coast. The sheikh also says
that Arab is in communication with the
False Prophet of Soudan, and that when
beaten he will not retire to Cairo, but to
Wah-ed- Dakhel.
There was a small skirmish early this
morning on the left front of the British lines
An attack was made by the enemy, which
was promptly replied to by Major Forester
with so men of the 46th Regiment. The

ATROCITIES NEAR LIMA.
Bands of MOntanerOs Persecuting Per
Vians-The ChiIiau Forces at MoIlend

Bands of MontanerOs Persecuting Peru
vians-The Chilian Forces at Mollendo.
PANAMA, July 25.-Latest dates from
Lima, sent by cable to Payta and thence to
Lima by steamer, state that bands of Mon
taneros are committing horrible atrocities in
the neighbOrhood of Lima. The victims are
principally Peruvians, and consequently tho
Chilians make but little effort to suppress
the robbers.
The military movements near Mollendo
are becoming interesting. That port has
been held by Chilian forces for the past three
months, and for SOME time the occupation
proved lucrative from the customs receipts
on the heavy of wool from Arequipa,
A small corps of observation was sent out
from Arequipa by the commander of the
Peruvian forces there and stationed in the
valley of the Jambo, eleven miles inland
from Mollendo.
On the 22d ultimo accommodating force
was sent out by the Chilians. These were
driven back by the Peruyians and series
of skirmishcs followed. An engagement
afterwards took place, in which the firing
was brisk on both sides, the PertlYians fall
ing back and the Chilians not being strong
enough to pursue. Strong reinlorcements
are moving into the interior and uprisals
and slaughter are sure to result from the
desultory movements of the Montaneros.

WITH BAT AND Rail-.
Our boys Defeat n Picked Nine with Fiv.
Runs to spare.

Yesterday afternoon a game of base bal
was played ON the Rodney street ground,
between Our Boys and picked nine under
the leadership of Paul Brown. The gamt
was undoubtedly an interesting one0not
alone from the fact that some remarkable
playing took place, but from the general ap
pearance of the picked nine on the field
where they did nobly, although using theil
captain up in six innings.
Our Boys carried off the game by score
of IL to ID, and did not appear to have such
a good thing of It" as IL was generally ac-
knowledged they would have before the
game. Each side scored four ciphers, and
the game by innings was as follows
Our B0ys..........4 4 0 8 O02 6 O-1s
Picked Nine. SO 122 0-la
Harry Sherwin, the centre fielder of the
Picked Nine, c,came upon the field full of fond
hopes for the success of himself and friends,
declaring in manner that showed he meant
it, II can't catch much, boys, but Pm going
to smear the balls all over the field" He
didn't do 1t TO any very alarming extent, in
asmuch as he struck out every time he got
the bat in his hands, and on two occasions
left three men on bases, thus giving Our
Boys the game.
Moral-Don't count your runs before you
hit the ball.

THE PRESIDENTS POWER.
Can He Regulate the Expenditures Under
the River and Harbor steal?


WAsHINGToN, August 4.-Sinee the
passage of the River and Harbor bill some
curiosity has been expressed by friends OF
the measure in Congress as to the position
the President would assume in regard to
expenditures under the bill. 1t was thought
before the veto he would approve the bill
and take the liberty, as General Grant had
done, of limiting the expenditures OF
National improvements.
Since the passage Of the bill over his veto
1t has been suggested the President would
exercise this so-called prerogative. 1t is
| generally conceded among members of Con-
gress that should he elect he could direct
the expenditures of whatever appropriations
are placed under the control of the Secretary
OF War; but on the other hand, there are a
number of good lawyers In the House who
| assert that he can in no way interfere with
the appropriation made for the departments,
as they are to be expended under the diree-
| tion Of the heads thereof
Mr.. Robinson of Massachusetts,, who is
| acknowledged to be the clearest-headed
lawyer In the House, in speaking of the
subject last night said: 'tThere is no
doubt that the President has IL practical
control over the heads of the Executive
Departments. They are of his creation en-
tirely, and, of course, subordinate to him.
1t is generally understood the Executive is
virtually the head of all departments.
In the majority Of cases OF course it would
be impossible for him to interfere in any ap-
preparations made by Congress, for the
reason that the law making such appropri-
ations defines the object for which il shall
be expended; and while he may direct such
expenditures, he cannot in any way change
the purposes or meaning of the law, his
Office being purely an executive one.
In the matter of the River and IIarbor
appropriation, the money to be expended is
placed under the discretion OF the Secretary
of War, and should he see it to be in the in
terest of the country he could probably with
hold certain expenditures, being liable, of
course, to account for such action to Con
gress. The Secretary of War, being but a
subordinate of the President in the execution
of this particular work, is actually under
the direction of the President, and there
would be no question as to the
right of the Executive to interfere to a GER
tain extent in the expenditures to be made
That he would have the right to withhold
an appropriation specifically made by law
of Congress is, of course, a question not
easily decided, but he may have such an in
direct influence upon these appropriations as
to limit the expenditures under the bill to
any sum which he may see tit" -"
Other members Of Congress expressed
themselves in like manner relative TO the
prerogative of the Executive, and there are
very few members who absolutely dissent
from belief in the Presidents right to
interfere.

An enthusiastic correspondent thus writes
of the phenomena visible last evening
!" "Charmingly beautiful to the very extent OF
fine expression was that grand feature OF
natural art displayed before the oculi of
many astronomical friends on the streets OF
Wilmington, last evening, and In a most
decidedly clear sky. Not cloud was visible
but boldly shonc forth the joyful or sad
tidings Predictive of the seaiaring people,
the aurora borealis or northern light, as 1t
is commonly called. At9 O'Clock p. M, a
fortunate could have seen the entire flrma-
ment seemingly illuminated by some power
ful electro element. To many of our citizens
its vision was the comment of wonder and
even amazement, and equalled anything In
its line of curiosity that has been visible
from this city for many day. The advent
of such bright vision of the northern light
here is quite rarity, at this season of the
year especially, though out at sea 1t is a
settled truth that the conspicuity of this
light is far superior at all times and more
liable to be visible during greater portion
of the year than on land. The visitation last
night remained in the heavenly arena for
several hours and appeared to radiate eX-
pansiye and variegated rays of light from
one distinct center over the entire universe,
and the bright starlight also prevailing with
the snow white milky way made really a
most enchanting picture that should have
been missed by no one. y

ARRESTED THE WRONG MEN.
How the Police Made a Mistake Which
Turned Out All Right.


Information was lodged at the police
headquarters that a number of loungers at
the corner of Linden and Van Buren, streets
were in the habit of blocking up the side
walk at night and disturbing passersby, and
the chief was asked to break up the nui-
sanee.
The sergeant of that district accordingly
notified his officers, and the yigilant patrol

proceeded to the corner of Linden and Jack
son streets, at II O'Clock last night, where
they found party of men sitting on coal
box in front Of N. G. Samples store.
The men were ordered to disperse, which
they refused to do, saying they lived in the
house, and had a right where they were as
long as they behaved orderly. They were
arrested, however, and told that it was
through Mr.. Samples complaint, but the
officers finding there was a mistake some
where finally let them off.
This morning Mr.. Sample made his ap-
pearance before the Mayor and wanted TO

were his boarders, and that he had dis
pute with them this morning about the
arrest, they claiming that it was done at his

Trouble After the Rescue of CriInina
and the Shooting of His JRiIer.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, August 4.-The fol
lowing particulars have been received in re
| lation TO the recent tribal outbreak among
the Creek Indians. The trouble began last
week i'll the northwestern part of the Creek
nation by the arrest of a criminal, and his
rescue and the murder of his jailer, Capt.
Sam Scott, by gang of the Sands men, 1t
is not yet settled, and United States Mar
shal Beck, who was at Fort Smith yester-
day, gives the following statement of the
situation ON Monday night.
The Sands men were encamped on Pecan
Creek, nine miles from Museogee, under
command of a noted desperate named Dick
Glass. Chief Chieota of the Creek nation
was in camp.lS miles distant, with $50 men,
and the citizens were still coming to his aid
He said that when his command reached
500 men he would arrest the u slayers of
Captain Scott.
The Sands men had called on Agent
Tufts, at Moseogee, who advised them to
surrender the men wanted by the authori-
ties, as the only means oil preventing blood
shed. This they emphatically refused to do,
and declared their intention to stand by
their comrades to the bitter end.
Great excitement prevails throughout the
nation, and, as matters now stand, either
the Glass gang must disperse and let Cap
tain Scott's murderers take their chances
with the officers, or bloodshed will follow.
