LONDON, Jan. A.-No further news
concerning Gen. Stewart had been re-
ceived at the war Office up to noon, and
the anxiety as to his fate has greatly III
creased.
The war Office has just made public a
dispatch received this afternoon from
| Gen. Wolseloy, at Korti. He says he
has nothing further from Gen. Stewart.
The reported capture OF Omdurman by
Ell Mahdl's forces, Gen. Wolseley says
lacks confirmation, and that it is doubt
full. Gen. Earle's column, thoroughly,
provisioned and equipped, compQGSr.nns7

KLTBURG wants to increase the num-
Der of judges of the supreme court to
seven. The old fraud! He pretends to
favor retrenchment, and yet would in
crease the expenses of the state, it may
be, to have some friend made a supreme
Judge. Just let the judiciary stand as
it is to-day. The judges are getting
through with their work very well and
there is no necessity for any more
judicial officers.

CHICAGO, Jan. 24.--The special county
grand jury to-day returned indictments
against 2l0 judges serving at the recent
national election. The report declares
that tho present registry and election
laws are entirely inadequate
for the purposes Of large
city, and as they exist
enable the practice OF unlimited
fraud. The report declares that out OF
! III precincts INTO which tho city is di-
vided, there were but seven at which
there were not violations of the election
! laws. In many cases, perhaps, through
| ignorance, some from carelessness, and
Others, doubtless, through criminal in

THE attention of the learned members
OF the Texas Legislature is called 10 tne
following: Mr.. II. IL. WARNER, of
Rochester, New York, offers 1900 for the
discovery of every new comet made be-
tween the LIST of February, 1885 and Feb
ruary l, 1856. AS it is said the members
of the legislative bodies are "star
gazecs," they might find something up
in the heavens with tail to it that
would do for comet, and thus secure
the prize. WARNER also offers 5000 in
gold for an explanation of the atmos
pheric phenomenon which caused the
red sunsets and sunrises during the las
, two years. This is matter that ough
{ to be brought before committee of tn
r whole in the house, with PENDLEToN, c
: Fort Worth, in the chair, because To
n city he represents Is often painted re

THE Bonham Review asserts that the
able newspapers IN the state are not
willing TO make fight against prohibit
ton. True, but they don't object to the
women of Texas taking the matter in
their own hands and laying down the
law to their imbibing husbands. What
is the use of the Legislature enacting
law, when the women can lay dowr
rules which will scare the very life on
of their husbands.

IL the remarks preceding the beauti-
full poem, by MRs. ELIZABETH j. HERE
FORD, of this city, entitled "The Land
of Dixie" taken from the New Orleans
Picayune, it was stated that MRS
HEREFORD was "said to be lineal de-
scendant of SIR WALTER ScoTr." This
is an error of the Picayune. MRS
HEREFORD is descendant of WALTET
ScoTr, an uncle of SIR WALTER, whose
children emigrated to Virginia.

WHEN the news OF the battle be tween
GEN. STEWART and the mahdi Cana to

ion that the losses of the English were
greater than stated. 1t now appears
that the English gained no great advan-

army is in precarious sitnn"ion.
