TnIhO EDITION.
The Sou dan Campaign.

CAIRO, Feb 25.-The news from khar-
toum this morning is somewhat alarm
ing, and indicates that General Gordon
has changed his plans In regard to the
Soudan. The latest report says that the
General, having become convinced OF
the danger OF attempting to hold Khar-
toum on account of the rebellious spirit
OF a number of Sheiks who SO warmly
received him on his entrance intok har-
toum, has determined on evacuatlng the
place at once. He has destroyed all the
military stores and spiked all the guns
which would be likely to cucumber al
retreat from the town, so as to prevent
them falling into the hands OF the Nah:
di, who Is reported as making forced
march upon Khartoun. He has sent
Colonel Coetlogan to Berber with 1000
of the garrison Of Khartoum.
1t is reported that the Biskareen
Arabs to the south of Khartoum have
revolted, and are awaiting the Mahdi
oioin his forces. Mahmoud Ali, who
has heretofore protested his loyalty to
the British cause in Egypt, has gone
over to the rebels with his tribe.
SUAKIM, February 26,-The men-of-
war fired during the night to keep the
rebels at a distance.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, February 25.-lt
is positively asserted that the Mahdi
and King John of Abyssinia have sign
ed q convention to the effect that King
John shall remain neutral, and IN
return shall receive a part Of the Red
Sea and large accession Of territory.
LONDON, February 25.-The blacks
who refused to proceed to Trinkitat yes
terday left Suakim for that placeto-day
on being assured that they were moi
wanted to fight.
A cavalry reconnaissance was made
to-day toward Teb. The Arabs were
found in force between Teb and ths
earthworks thrown up by Baker Pasha
Every sign indicates that Osman Digna
means to contest the advance of the
British troops.
1t is reported that the Government
acting under the advice of General
Lord Wolseley, the adjutant Genera
of the forces, has ordered General Ora.
ham to transfer his base of operations
to Suakim, whence, with a strength
ened force Of men and artillery, he il
to march to assault Tamanich, Osmar
Digna's headquarters.
The report that Ell Mahdi was march
ing toward Khartoum is confirmed
He liberated twelve members of th'
Catholic Mission before leaving +
Obeid, receiving ransom of f2SO'
through the Aurtrian Consul at Khar
toum.
El Mahdi inacticn after his victor,
at Ell Obeid is explained by the fac
that, finding that the Sheikhs of tn
principal tribes wished to go hom
with their spoils in order to attend tn
harvest, he proclaimed holy truce dur
ing the months of Moharrem and Safar
ending on the date of the anniversar
of the birth of the Prophet. That tim
having expired, the campaign has bee
resumed.

from 4 tree into which he had been
chased 81 4 wounded bear. The way
il occurred was this: He and another
man we're chopping wood il the timber

Wilson looked up and saw 3 huge bear
placidly contemplating them nom a
distance Of about fifty yards. The bear
vas sitting upright. with ita''arms"
apparently folded, and seemed much
interested in their manner Of cutting
and splitting cord wood as if it might
have some notion Of going into the
business itself. When deserted the bear
vas standing perfectly still, showed no
signs Of hostility, and was simply and
only an interested spectator
The wise thing for the men to have
done under the circumstances would
have been to leave the bear alone. So
thought Wilson's companion and he
said as much. But Wilson thought diff
ferently. He had a Winchester rife
and, noticing that the bear had white
spot in the centre Of its breast Just the
right size for nice mark, he said he be.
lieved he would take a shot at it. The
other advised him not to do it and be
came suddenly conscious that he wai
wanted at the camp.A Wilson looked al
the bear again. It still sat mOtiOnles'
and mark on the breast looked sotempt
ing that, without more ado, he raised
his gun, aimed and fred. But insteaC
Of hitting the spot, which would have
been a death shot, the bullet struck tht
bear in the shoulder. The wound die
