H. Inlay, and comrades Jacob Rauth and
John Platt, in the afternoon, accompanied
by Postmaster Swiggett, visited the DUPONT

ARABI RETREATING.
He Withdraws at AllisOns Advance--A
Battle Not Imminent,

ALEXANDRIA, August 3-Evenng.-A A
reconnaissance In force was made BY the
British troops this afternoon, when IL was
found that Arab Pasha had abandoned ali
bis outposts All the Egyptian troops have
fed from the vicinity of Suez since the
British occupation. A Cairo paper to-day
published the decision of a great national
meeting which resolved to uphold Arab
Pasha, and to reject the authority of the
Khedive. .f II. u
ALEXANDRIA, August S.-All the British
forces here have been ordered to the front
without delay, as an attack by Arab ia mo
mentarily expected. 1t is next to impossible
to ascertain with any degree Of certainty
the true intention of Arab. From the fact
that every soldier except those ON the sick
list, was included In the summons this morn
ing TO prepare for immediate action IL Is in
ferred that Arab meditates an attack in
such numbers and of such severity as to
create a feeling Of decided alarm. "
At the headquarters of Sir Archibald
Allison It is evident, from the continued
arrival and departure of mounted couriers
and the amount of activity displayed, that
an event of some magnitude Is on the eve OF
occurrence. Officers and soldiers are reti-
cent uron the subject of the retreat of the
picket force few nights since and the mum.
is said, numbered several thousand
The English soldiers are much over
worked. The deficiency of officers is espe-
cially felt. Telegraphic communication be-
tween the Khediye and Arab Pasha
has been restored. Grave doubts are enter
tanned regarding the trustworthiness of the
interpreters, which the English are forced
to employ for lack of better. When the
forces move forward, the English will be at
the mercy of these men, as through them
the rebel authorities can obtain information
Last evening and to-day alarm was
caused by rumors Of an impending massacre
of Christians. The patrols have been
ordered to increase their vigilance, and the
police to contiscate sticks from the natives.
Criers have paraded the native quarters of
the city, enjoining the people to remain
home at o'clock in the afternoon, the hour
which 1t is reported has been fixed for the
massacre.
News from Cairo to the Both ult. states
that II pashas were imprisoned in the citadel.
Among the number was Ali Sheriff Pasha.
who was arrested because he employed
Greeks TO guard his house.
1t has been discovered that Arab Pasha
has again destroyed the railway at Mahalla.
which was recently repaired. The news of
the dispatch of Turkish force under Der
wish Pasha to Egypt has created consterna-
ton in this city.
The French papers at Port Said publish
the khedive's proclamation giving authority
to the English for the occupation of the
Suez Canal If it should be threatened by
Arabi's forces. British troops this morning
occupied Suez and opened "a telegraph
office.

Lofty Tumble,

A few days since two laborers were en-
gagged in digging away the roots Of a large
tree on the grounds Of the new AlmshOuse.
One of the pair, fearing it might fall upon
them, conceived the brilliant idea of climb
ing to the top and there tying a rope by
which means the lofty oak might be pulled
down the way they wanted to throw It. Ac
cordingly the man who made the suggestion
climbed the tree for a distance of about 30
feet and just as he was on the point OF
making a knot in the rope the old oak
trembled and fell, bringing the lrishman
crashing to the ground, where he was picked
up for dead, but more scared than hurt, yet
very badly demoralized. No bones were
broken, but the poor fellow will not feel in
clined to climb any more trees for some time
to come.

The eastward progress of the low area that
overiay Illinois, Indiana and Ohio on We'd
nesday has ceased, owing to the influence Of
the high pressure area that extends over the
eastern and northern sections of the
country. II has, however, moved a little
southward and now dominates the weather
east of Missouri and Arkansas. The pressure
within 1t is but slightly below the mean, but
conditions favorable to the development of
local disturbances, such as thunder storms
or tornadoes, prevail. Rain fell in all the
districts east ofthe Mississippi. Fair weather
prevailed in the West and Northwest, The
temperature rose in the Middle and South
Atlantic States and remained nearly sta
donary elsewhere. Fresh to light winds are
reported east of the Rocky Mountains. The
weather in New York and Its vicinity to-day
VIII be slightly warmer and hazy or partly
cloudy, possibly with showers in the early
portion. Tomorrow promises to be cooler

meht-SehatorS Discussing TAXATION.
WAsHINGToN, August 3.--Mr. Hiscocl
of New York, Chairman of the COMMITTEES
on Appropriations, reported back the
Anderson adjournment resolution with
an amendment providing for final adjourn
ment at noon on Saturday next This led
to an animated and interesting discussion,
which frequently gave rise to much merri-
ment, and which claimed the attention OF
the members, who crowded around the
principal disputants and encouraged them
with applause. The resolution as amended
was finally adopted without division.
Among the bills passed under the call of
committees was one establishing diplomatic
relations with Persia and providing for the
appointment of Consul General to that
nation at Il salary of $1,000 year.
The appropriations for the support of the
Government were extended until August S.
Throughout the afternoon there were
many indications that the end Of the session
was approaching. The committees when
called presented no measures of importance,
and there was no disposition indicated to
proceed to business on any of the calendars
or on the Speakers table. The space in
front of the Speakers desk was occupied by
members moving favorite measures and en-
deavoring to catch the eye of the Speaker.
Many were unsuccessful, but the more fortu-
nate ones were little better off, for objection
was raised to almost every proposition.
After a couple of hours had been consumed
Ill efforts to pass measures, by unanimous
consent the House adjourned.
The Senate, soon after 2 o'clock, voted to
take up the Tax Reduction bill {; but Mr.
Morrill,, in charge of the measure, yielded
the floor for action on the bill to prevent
pleuro- pneumonia in cattle. Mr.. Allison
remarked, incidentally, that he did not think
It possible for Congress to adjourn this week.
The cattle Pleuro- pneumonia bill was finally
postponed without action.
The confrees on the Legislative, Executive
and judicial Appropriation bill reported an
agreement. The report was adopted.
The Tax Reduction bill was proceeded
with, and Mr.. Morrill, submitted a PROPOSE
tion TO the Democratic side that the bill be
passed as it came from the House, with
Senate amendments extending the time at
which the reduction shall take effect, and
the amendments reducing the tax on snuff
and tobacco from 16 cents to IL cents per
pound, and allowing rebate.
Mr.. Bayard, for the Democratic side, de-
clined the proposition, and after a long and
bitter discussion the matter went over with
out action, and the Senate passed the joint
resolution of the House providing tempo
rarily for the expenditures of the Govern
ment.
The House adjournment resolution was
laid on the table for future action, and the
Senate adjourned.
