Roa Hicks Wa Lost.

The following somewhat apocryphai ac-
count of the defeat of Hicks Pasha is pub
lished in the Paris Journal des D-bats of
February 2Sth 'The latest information
which has reached Cairo regarding the
disaster of Hicks Pashas army is SO singu-
la>and so very tragic that it could at first
be hardly believed possible. But now it
is confirmed by so large number OF trust
worthy witnesses that it is no longer pos
sible to doubt the fact. 1t was not the
Mahdi who conquered Hicks Pasha; the
latter and his men perished in an intense
struggle, victims of an error which
threw Egyptians against Egyptians.
The Mahdi and his bands only took a sec
ondary part in the battle. They only ar
rived in time to increase the butchery and
reap the fruits of victory. This is what
happened. You know that conflict had
arisen between Hicks and his Egyptian
colleague, Aladdin Pasha. The first wanted
to march directly on Ell Obeid; the second
proposed to follow the hill route, more
difficult road, but safer one, and which
the troops to rest during the day
near the Melbass wells before attacking
Ell Obeio. The rumor was spread that
in consequence of the rupture Aladdin
Pasha had abandoned Gen. Hicks with
part of the army, and hopes had long
been entertained that he had been saved.
Alasl this separation was destined, on
the contrary, to become the cause of the
ruin of the Egyptians and of the loss of
the Soudan. The two generals having
found it impossible to come to an under
STAINING, it was resolved that each should
take the road he considered best, and in
the event of one Of the corps being at
tackled by the enemy the other would
hasten to its rescue. This plan was car
ried out.
"Alaidin Pasha reached the mountain,
while Hicks Pasha marched straight to-
ward Ell Obeid. Both corps were passed
by the soldiers of the Mahdi, who, with
ont giving battle, harrassed them inces-
sanity on the hanks. The troops had left
toward midday. At night sharp firing was
heard in the direction of the mountain
Hicks Pasha at once ordered his men to
advance and support Aladdin Pasha. 1t
was pitch dark. The sharpshooters fired
without knowing what they were about.
After an hours hurried march the troops
reached the middle of the mountain.
The vanguard announced that all the
nights were occupied by the enc
my. Suddenly shower of bullets fell
on the army. A part took to fight, while
the other stood firm. The fighting con-
tinued desperately until daylight ap-
peared, when horrible spectacle pre-
sented itself. Hicks Pasha's troops were
almost annihilated, and at the top of the
hill the Egyptian uniforms were in sight.
Aladdin Pasha and Hicks Pasha's troops
had been butchering each other ever since
midnight. The central column, COM
manded by Gen. Hicks, had suffered the
most. A small plateau where it had
halted was strewn with dead and dying.
The bodies of three Europeans lay where
the staff had taken position.n

The Sanitary Council of the Mississippi
Valley met yesterday and after two ses-
sions, during which, as will be seen from
our very careful and lengthy report, much
business was transacted, adjourned to meet
subject to the call of the Executive Com
mittee. The report of Secretary Rauch,
which is necessarily very long, is full
and complete and very valuable docu-
ment. There is not word wasted.
All the facts of the year are put in as
small compass as is consistent with a COM
prehensive statement Of them. A careful
perusal of this document will enable the
readers of the APPEAL to realize at once
the importance of this body, which,
made up mainly of the leading sani-
tary officials OF the Mississippi VAL
ley, has done so much to advance
the science which has accomplished SO
much for The public safety and welfare
and to prevent the introduction and spread
OF epidemic diseases. In the absence of
the National Board of Health, which last
year was shorn of much of its strength by
the political manager who is at the
head OF the Treasury Department,
this council mapped ou. the plans
and declared the purposes which were
necessary to the safety, not only of the
people of Memphis, but of the whole val
ley. Acting in harmony with it, DIR.
Thornton and President Hadden early
last summer adopted the system Of
surveillance which gave so much
and so general satisfaction, and which
was deemed essential to guard against
surprises by land or water. The same
system will be put in operation this
year, and the people may rest assured that
under it only the most faithful and relia-
BILE sentinels will be put on duty. Let us
hope that in the meanwhile the bill intro
duced by Casey Young so heartily indorsed
by the council, will have become law, that
the National Board OF Health may be e.
stored to all its functions and powers, and
will be able to respond, as it did in former
years, to the call of the people for a uni
form, safe and reliable system OF quaran-
tine

Debate on the Anti-SOciaiisf Laws Cor
iiuued in The Reichsfag.

BERLIN, March 21.-In the Reichstag
to-day debate upon the proposition TO
continue the anti-Socialist laws was re-
sumed. DR.. Haenel, Progressist, advocated
the reference of the matter to a committee.
If the law were prolonged it would con-
tinue to be Intellectual, and at the same
time it would increase differences and pro-
mote the anti-Semiic movement. He
urged the rejection OF the measure.
Herr Won kordoreff favored the measure,
claiming that the international character
of the Social Democracy had become un-
mistakable.
Senneman opposed the law, and con-
tended that it was just to persecute per-
sons for holding and expressing particular
opinions. The government, he asserted,
was not entirely free from blame for the
recent dynamite outrages at Frankfort.
Won Puttkammer, Prussian Minister of
the Interior, Indignantly repelled this in
sinuation.

provision that no incurably diseased, or

included in theinventory of the appraised.
Those best able to judge give the opinion
that not more than 100 cattle need be con-
demned and killed to effectually stamp
out the disease, but assert that more re-
lance must be placed on perfect system
OF quarani Zine. These considerations are
gaining ground, and there is no doubt a
law win be passed which will effectually
stop the disease before the time comes for
turning out cattle on the ranges. In the
Senate bill for the protection OF domes-
tic animals, which was reported from the
Committee on Agriculture two days ago,
went on third reading for amendment,
and discussion followed. The bill provides
for the appointment by the Governor of

Senator Hoar called up the bill increas-
ing the salaries OF United States district
judges to 5000.
The bill was considered ct some length,
when it went over until Monday.
Several bills were introduced and re-
ferred after which Blair's educational bill
was laid before the Senate, being unfin-
ished business yesterday.
At the request OF Senator Allison, how
ever, Blair gave way to permit considera-
ton o; the deficiency appropriation bill.
The amendments recommended by the
Senate Committee on Appropriations were
agreed to and the bill passed.
The education bill was then considered,
and Senators Harrison, Hoar and Blair
entered into discussion of some length
as to the precise meaning of some sections
of the bill.
Senator Jones Fla. supported the bill.
Senator Garland moved that the Senate
60 into executive session, which was
agreed to.
Before the doors closed amendments to
the pending bill were offered. The one by
Senator Sherman provides that the money
shall be applied to the education OF chill
dren, without distinction OF race or color,
and shall be distributed to counties or
school districts in the proportion which the
number Of illiterate children in each such
county and school district bears to the
whole number of illiterate children in the
State, and that the assent of the State to
this provision shall be had before money
can be given to it by the United States.

The Davis and uuIatto Point Crexasse,


New ORLEANS, March 21.--The Davis
crevasse is now 150 feet wide and very
deep. All efforts to close it have been
abandoned. A Times Democrat special
reports no progress made in closing the
Mulatto Point crevasse. The water from
this and Morganza is gradually spreading
over the country between the Mississippi
river and the Atchafalaya.
Ldter.-There are now ten crevasses in
the levees on the west side of the Missis-
sippi river between Vicksburg and New
Orleans, all pouring great volumes of water
into the country. The great Morganza
crevasse is now nearly mile wide, with
an average depth of ten feet of water
going through like a mill race. The fol
lowing parishes will be more or less
inundated: Madison, Tensas, Concordia,
Avoyelles, Peinte Coupee, West Baton
Rouge, Ibervilie, Assumption, st. James,
st. Charles, st. Landry and ST. Mary, en-
bracing the most productive section in the
State for cotton and sugar No estimate
of the loss can yet be made. The United
States engineer writes: "There is nc
