Defeat Of the Hennepin Canal Scheme

WASHINGTON, June 13.-TLe HenEepin
Canal scheme was defeated by a majority
of forty-four votes in the House yester-
day afternoon. An analysis of the vote
shows that twenty-eight Republican and
is Democrats voted to strike out the Sec
ton, while sixty Republicans and forty
Democrats voted against it. All the men,
bers of the Illinois delegation stood by Hem
nepin to the last, except Moulton, Riggs
and Shaw, who voted to strike it out, and
Ellwood and Davis, who were absent.
The rejection of the Hennepin Canal APP
preparation under the circumstances can not
be regarded as a decision upon the merits of
the proposition. 1t was prejudiced by the
fact that it was put into the River and Har.
Dor bill in conflict with the rules of the
House, and was kept there by a ruling for
which Chairman Wellborn was constrained
to make an explanation which was so lame
as to make the P~arliamentarian
smile. Those who voted against it say they
could not Justify themselves in voting for
all enterprise which would commit the
Government to the policy of building and
maintaining a canal, unless the petition was
presented in a separate bill, so that the
question might be fully debated. The
Hennepin bill, favorably reported by the
Committee Oh Railways and Canals, is on
the calendar, but it is not likely to be
reached before next winter.

CAIRO, June 1s.-The Government has
lust received news confirming the fall Oh
Berber. The garrison fought heroically
and kept up a deadly fire on the rebels un'
til their ammunition was exhausted. Inc
rebels discerning the cause of the cessation
of the fire from the garrison, charged upon
the works, falling on the Egyptians in
overwhelming numbers. A fierce hand-to-

Hussien Pacha Khalifa, the Mudir of Ber'
Der, was reputed to be the bravest and
ablest Pacha in the Soudan. He had 1000
women and children under his protection
whom General Gordon had sent down
from Khartoum, believing that General
Graham would open the road from
Suakim. Berber, moreover, is the base
from which the operations will have to be
undertaken for tho relief of Khartoum
Hussien Pasha's last appeal has a pathetic
significance. He recently telegrapled tc
