one Of his prophecies, on November II, the
first day OF the new Mussulman century
1900 after the hegira-he himself was TO oe
proclaimed, at Khartoum, prophet and ruler
of the Soudan. Having convinced his fol-
lowers that he was in direct com
while addressing them, suddenly to become
silent, and, closing his eyes, to remain mo-
tionless for several minutes. He carried this
trick to such perfection that not the slightest
movement was perceptible while he simulat'
ed coma, after which he appeared TO recover
from state OF professed lethargy, cast wend
ering glancfs around him, and eXclaim with
an air of conviction: II come from
paradise, where 1 have been with Allah and
his prophet How l should like to tell you
of all ] saw and heard, but you would not be
able to understand it." His followers be-
came so devoted to him that at signal from
him they were ready to sacrifice their lives.
At last the Mehid announced that Allah had
definitely chosen him to be his prophet,
which caused such enthusiasm among his
adherents that he seized the Oppor-
tunity to surround himself by
kind of court. The expense incident
thereupon was readily betrayed by his parti-
sans 1t was then that Ruef Pasha, at the
time Governor of Soudan, decided toarrest the
Medhi and put an end to his proceedings.
At first an attempt was made TO diSarm him
by persuasion. but afterward 200 men were
sent to take him prisoner. The Medhi had,
however. already a large number OF follow
ers, and the small detachment of
troops was ANONYMOUSLY put to
flight This was the beginning of the
revolt in the Soudan. He Immediately
achieved victories which were so astonishing
as TO win him many believers Early in the
present year. however he met with several
reverses, and in April last he was reported
to have been routed and killed. HIS oper-
atoms since have generally been successful.
Hicks Pasha is an English officer in the
service of the Egyptian Government, who
was sent out to suppress the revolt If the
dispatches are TO be believed, FL Mehdfs
followers must have increased enormously
within the last half dozen months.

The Tattered Garment Again UnfurIed by
the Republican Bosses-Mahone to Ask a
Senate Investigation.
Special to the Sentinel:
WASHINGTON, Nov. u There is no lack of
political gossip, comment and prophesy just
now in Washington. The talk is to a certain
extent oracalar and authoritative, for the
takers are political priests and leaders; very
few laymen are among them. The subjects
of conversation are the late elections, the
coming Presidential election, the organiza-
ton of the next House, and political issues
yet in a somewhat amorphous shape. The
Republicans. however, have evolved one po-
litical issue out of the chaos of the late cleo
tons, 1t is their old familiar friend-the
bloody shirt. After much longing and
straining some wild-eyed fanatics have sue
ceeded in making believe the phantom gar
ment has been seen in Virginia and millions
of hackneyed lies and other musty campaign
literature have been reproduced. The
country showed itself sick OF this stuff eight
wears ago when Tilden was elected after
the bloodiest of bloody-shirt campaigns
when, according to the lurid literature of the
Republican press, the rivers OF the South
slaughtered negroes. When the Republican
party is seen returning to this vomit, who
can doubt that it is hungry for an issue?
There is this difference, however, between
the bloody shirt phantom now and then.
Now il is said TO wave in Virginia under the
shadow of the Capitol OF the United States,
and not as then in the swamps of Louisiana,
and the everglades of Florida. Now it has
appeared, according TO Republican fiction,
after years of acknowledgements and educa-
ton of the colored voter. 1t is the miserable
whine of the party who has been fairly
beaten at the polls, beaten in spite OF their
bribery, and in spite of the fact that they
had every advantage of Office and control OF
the places OF election, and were known TO be
favored and encouraged by the President OF
the United States.
IL was true there was a street fight in Dam
Vile between the blacks and whites pro-
voked by the former, but il is learned by i'm
Quiry from q large number of Virginians
representing different parts OF the State that
there was no intimidation and that the
election was as fair as the beautiful day upon
which il was held. Nevertheless Malone
will move Senate investigation into the
manner of the election, and a Senate Com
mittee of three Republicans and two Demo-
Gratis will go through the old routine of al
lodged investigation and furnish q majority
and minority report

The President in the Lead for the Republi-
can Nomination.
Washington Special:
There is no doubt that President Arthur is
having the best OF Republican Presidential
booming Just now. Who could have be-
lieved, four years ago. that Blaine and Grant
and Sherman would be overshadowei by the
obscure Collector of Customs whom Sher-
man removed as unfit for the trust? Verify,
the stone which the builders rejected hath
become the head of the corner" Arthur is
working for himself in very noiseless, but
very effective way; but alas Where is Dor
sey, the soap man? One blast from his sill
very horn would be worth 10000 men. One
thing is certain, or rather, two things; a
fraudulent election like that OF Hayes. and a
bought election like that of Garfield, can not
be repeated But the fact that the election
must be fair and uninfuenced by money
wrung from Government employees may not

Corruption wins not more than honesty"
1t IS true their honesty will be enforced by

party is so blinded with fanaticism that it

THE FALSE PROPHET.

Career of FL Medhi, the Conqueror.
Mohamed Ahmed, otherwise known as Ell
Medhi, or the false prophet. was born at Don
gala, and was formerly a chip carpenter.
From Dongala be went 10 Senaar, where
for some time he exercised that handi-
craft. He was smart workman, and,
through knowing how to read and
write. had great advantages over his
comrades. Eventually he got tired of car
pentering, which paid him badly, and throw
ing aside mallet and ehisel, became a public
reader OF the Koran. At fqst he was
listened 10 on. OF mere curiosity, but before
long he began to command certain amount
OF respect, and at last came to be regarded
as an exceptionally gifted sheikh. Those
who had heard him once returned to hear
him again, ami their Humber daily in-
creased. subsequently, instead OF merely
reading, he began TO lecture, and his hearers
soon manifested their admiration Of his elo-
quenee and piety by presenting him with
money. In the course Of time these contri-
buttons enabled Mohamed Ahmed 10 aban-
don the functions he had performed since
he gave up the carpenters trade. and to de-
vote himself entirely TO the office OF sheikh.
In that capacity he soon acquired great
reputation among the ignorant population,
who never heard such an eloquent speaker.
Valuable presents were showered upon him,
which he affected TO receive with the great
est Indifference, although he never refused
thenf. People We'd with each other in gen.

sition sirCpg enough 10 justify him in ex-
tending the circle OF his attributes. Accord
ingly, he gave up preaching and turned

ton, he uttered certain predictions TO which

ciples attached implicit faith. According to

The Whole Country Risen.

CAIRO, Nov. 23.-Colonel Coetlan, with
Hicks Pasha, sent telegram from KhartOam
TO General Wood, confirming the previous
reports of the disaster of Hicks Pasha's army.
He says the whole country has risen. The
Government has asked Baker Pasha to send
1000 gems d'arms to Zuakim to help
clean the desert, but Baker Pasha
refused to send them, thinking
they were required in upper Egypt. lie
stated Turkey had offered to send 10000
troops to re-establish Mussulman authority
in SOudan. Intense excitement prevails
everywhere in Egypt, and the country is
not safe above the second cataract of the
Nile. The Khedve has ordered the evacua-
ton of the military posts on the Blue Nile
and White Nile. Troops from posts on the
former will be massed at Sennoar. and those
from the posts on the latter at KhartOum.
The three principal officers OF Khartoum
have been ordered TO consult and adopt de.
fensive measures. If necessary Sennoar will
be abandoned and the troops massed at Khar.
tOum. All recognize the necessity OF imme-
diately reopening the road between Soua-
kan and Berber.

THE sOUDAN SLAUGHTER.

The AnnihiIation of the Egyptian Forces
by the False ProPhet-AetiOn of the Gov
eminent.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-The Egyptian Govern
ment favors the sending of a strong force to
Khartaum for the purpose of opening the
road between Souakaal and Berber and thus
maintaining communication with Khar-
taum.
Edmund 0UOnovan. the correspondent of
the Daily News, recently wrote private let
ter saying he had misgivings of the result of
the Soudan expedition.
General Hicks army had suffered severely
on their march of go miles through hos
tile region. They were short OF provisions
and the intense heat caused men and beasts
to drop by hundreds; and in addition 70
those ills they were harrassed constantly by
marauding bands of native tribes. The en-
tire force Of General Hicks comprised about
$4,000 men, but the necessity of keeping
open a strong line of communication with
his base of supplies had largely reduced his
fighting force. The orders of Hicks Pasha
after leaving the Nile, en- route to Eel Obeid,
were very concise. He was to establish
several posts along the route and hold him
self in readiness to retire whenever the
enemy was found in superior numbers to
his own command Among the troops in
Hicks Pashas army was the First Regiment
of Egyptian Infantry of L600 men. which
was formerly under the command OF
Arab Pasha, but was then under
the command of English officers.
Captain herith. an Austrian officer, who
formerly commanded Uhlan regiment, was
the principal drill officer of Hicks Pasbas
Army. The advance of the Egyptian hand
full was hazardous in the extreme. The region
was hostile and the supplies so short
that the entire force were pct on short ra-
tions. According to n dispatch from Cairo
the only supplies were biscuits. There being
no communications open, the soldiers be-
came alarmed The heat was intense and
the camels died by hundreds For water
the Army was dependent surface pools,
the enemy, however having also swept the
country bare of cattle. Nothing had been
heard of the Army by the outside world UR-
til rumors of victory were followed by news
of disaster.
Orders have been sent the British Admiral
at the East Indian station to support the
Egyptian interest on the Red Sea. which will
be reinforced by the gnnboats OF the Mediter-
ranean squadron.
