1t is said the departure Of the
British has had the effect of rcviving
and strengthening the power of
Osman Digna on the Red Sea litoral.
Wavering tribes have espoused the
cause of El Mahdi, and with them
have gone thousands of Arabs who
had declared friendship for England.
Many deserters from the British
camps took with them the arms with
which they had been supplied.
A Cairo despatch of May 29th
says: Tamai has been evacuated by
the British troops. The number of
persons who have left Dongola since
the departure of the Mudir is 5000.
The probable approach of tho forces
of FL Mahdi greatly alarms the peo-
pie in the towns evacuated and about
to be evacuated by the British,
Advices of May oath confirm the
report that FL Mahdi has again been
defeated by the rival false prophet
and has fed up the White Nile. The
result will probable be anarchy
throughout large section of the
Soudan, but it is thought that
Egyptian garrisons at Kassala and
elsewhere will now have q chance to
escape.
DEATH OF VICTOR HUGO.
Victor Hugo, the great French
author, died on May 22nd. His last
words were, i" Adieu, Jeanne,
adieu," addressed to his favorite
granddaughter. Half his fortune,
100000 francs, is bequeathed by
Hugo to his daughter Adele, who is
in lunatic asylum. The funeral
took place on the first of June, when
the streets were filled with people.
Communists threatened to make dis
turbance, but at the latest accounts,
when the procession had reached the
Pantheon, where the interment took
place, no collision had occurred.
Several bearers of red flags were
arrested.

oath Poundmaker and thirty braves
will be held prisoners to await the
action of the Government. They
also brought in 210 stands of arms.
Col. Strange's force was fighting

Middleton left Battleford on May
3lst, with a relief force on two

HAWAIIAN EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION.

The meetings of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association, reports of
which appeared from day to day in
the BULLETIN of last week, afford n
very good illustration, if any was
needed, of the advantageous results
of missionary enterprise. The pro-
ceedings were, of course, in the Ha
waiian language. With the cxcep-
ton of some five or six Anglo
Saxon faces, the assembly was

Quoted with the same systematic
order rs in any well-conductcd
American organization. The moder-
ator discharged his duties with ex-
cellent tact and ability. Matters
coming up for consideration were
discussed with spirit and in the best
temper. The sessions were usually
attended by . fair number of spec
tators. No one could view the de
liberations of this body without con-
trasting the situation with the con-
dition and status of these same
people fifty years ago. The thou
sands who read about the doings at
gatherings of the natives of these
islands at the beginning of this CEN
tury would digest the news with
feelings very different from the
sentiments of respect, sympathy
and interest with which the trans
actions of last weeks Hawaiian
ecclesiastical assembly will be re-
ceiyed.

ENGLAND AND RUSSIA.

Up to the moment of latest advices
it was supposed peaceful arrange
ment of the Afghan boundary ques-
ton had been effected. In short, it
was the English proposal, that Rus
sia should remain at Penjdeh, while
Afghauistan was to be given Maru-
chak and Zulfikar. A general feel
ing of relief over the avoidance of
war was reported to be felt in Eng
land. Many European papers con-
slider that Russia's acceptance of the
English proposals is prompted by u
desire TO prevent the overthrow of
the Gladstone Cabinet.

NJ. II. de Young. r.. II. Lloyd

the alleged crime. William II. Ca

office, was the first witness, and his
examination was lengthy. He said
the defendants calling of de Young
and his firing of the first shot were
done almost simultaneously. Drs.
Blach and Murphy testified as TO dc
Young's injuries. Most of the
other witnesses were employees of
the ChrOnicie, and the prosecution
was through on Tuesday. On the
third day McAllister, of counsel for
the defense, demanded that the pro-
scouting witness, dc Young, should
be called. Lloyd replied, contend
ing that it was unnecessary, and
Judge Toohy took till next day to
decide the question. His decision
left the matter in the discretion of
counsel for the prosecution. The
defense was then opened by Taylor,

chiefly pleas of emotional insanity,
provocation and self-defense. Up

A Slight Change for the Better-Sympathy

New YORK, April 13, S:25 a. m.-Gen.

AFTERNOON REPORT.
2:3O D. m.-Gen. Grant has somewhat i'm
proved in his general condition. A slight
soreness of the throat during the morning
was relieved by cocoaine. The secretion of
mucus has diminished and the cough has
become less troublesome. The patient walked
without assistance TO an adjoining room and
sat in the sunlight. His pulse and tenn pera-
ture are unchanged.

The Chicago Tribune says: "The Milwau
% u.
have decided to build road from Minneapo-
lis to st. Paul, at a cost of $1,125,000. The
Rock Island and st. Paul 81 Omaha lines
will also use the new road. All these roads
are at present using the line of the st. Paul,
Minneapolis &, Manitoba between St. Paul
and Minneapolis"
Inasmuch as the Milwaukee 81 ST. Paul has
two lines between the two cities of its own,
and the st. Paul 81 Northern Pacific has a
contract for the use Of the Manitoba track,
which lasts for twenty-one years yet, it is
hardly probable that it will build a line of its
own and keep on paying lease to the Mani
toba company.
On Saturday the Nebraska landing of the
transfer boat was in trouble again, the strong

renew its cutting on that bank. The Omaha

years preceding this spring in the matter of
permanent landings. Neither at Blair nor
anywhere else was so little trouble had with
landings as at Sioux City, and the present
trouble is only what other crossing points
nave experienced almost steadily.
