IT is fitting combination when our
failures as generals in the late war join
hands with the rebels whom Grant de-
feated in the field to criticise that hero's
military record. Gen. Rosecrans must
feel proud of his position and his asso-
ciates. Personal piquo and political
hatred are the inspirations of the alliance,
The democrats may succeed in keeping
Gen. Grant from being placed upon the
retired list, but the country will give a
Just rebuke to the littleness of spirit that
prompts it. If they can afford tosaRt

THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
A Movement ON Berber az the Mex I
Objective Point.


LONDON, Feb. Ga council was held at
the War Office yesterday evening. 1t was
decided TO advise the Government to dis
patch 5000 troops TO Suakim Immediately.
General Stephenson telegraphs that 5000
men will be needed to clear the road to
Berber, as the news Of the fall of Khartoum
will induce the central tribes to join Osman
Digna. General Stephenson also advises
that the present strength Of tho troops in
Upper and Lower Egypt be maintained,
and that the re-enforcements be drawn from
England and India. General Lord Wolse-
Icy has renewed his demand for an expedi-
tion to Suakim, to consist of 5000 men under
General Greaves.
The Cabinet ministers hold an informal
meeting last night, but took no definite ac-
ton. Nothing will be decided upon until
the Cabinet Council to-day. 1t is reported
that General Lord Wolseley commenced an
advance from Korti yesterday for the relief
of the troops near Metemneh and that he
sent orders to General Earle to hasten his
advance against Berber, in order to assist
in the relief of Metemneh. The objective
point of all General Wolseley's movements
is now Metemneh.
Press messages from the Soudan are
greatly retarded. Several newspapers have
made application to the War Office for per-
mits TO communicate instructions to theii
correspondents, but they have all received
the reply that General Wolseley has sole
authority In the matter.

THE EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN.


Tho Death Of colonel Stewart.
The details of tho massacre Of Colonel
Stewart and his party have been received.
His steamer struck on rock in the Nile
not far from Aba Hamed. Colonel Stewart
and his party went to an island near the
scene Of the accident. They were but i'm.
perfectly armed. The natives appeared
friendly aud invited the wrecked people
ashore, protesting that what they desired
was peace aud grace"
Tho invitation was accepted and the en-
tire party crossed the river with the mes
seDger to the bank, where the natives wore
assembled. Snleiman met them, aud he
took Colonel Stewart, the two consuls and
Hassan Boy to tho house of blind man
named Etman Fakr. where coffee was
prepared for them. While Colonel Stewart
and his companions were in the house
Suleiman went out and gave u signal TO
his followers. They were all armed with
swords and spears, and they at once formed
Themselves into two bodies. One party en-
tered the blind mans house and attacked
the guests. Colonel Stewart and the two
consus were killed. Hassen Bey was
wounded, but he managed to escape. He
was subsequently recaptured, however, and
taken to Berber.
While this bloody work was being done
in Etmau Fakri's house the other party OF
Suleimen's men closed IN around the rest OF
Stewards defenseless comrades. The men
fought as best they could in the hopeless
struggle, but all with the exception of the
narrator and seven Others were either killed
where they stood or were drowned in the
Nile in their attempts to escape.

the reply. "Until tho time of lsmail Pa

He ran into debt for Eve bundled mil IS

he had TO sell his shares in the Suez CAa J.,
of which he held the cor

bought by the Beacopsfeld government.
Since then England has been compelled to
exert herself in Egypt. But tho English
Government did not exercise discretion.

would be good one If it woro properly
awaited Of An expedition by that way
should, to he successful, be commenced
before the fall in the river commences"
Referring again to General Gordon, Major
Dye said:

has light hair and eyes. Ho weighs,
should say, about los pounds He is very
quick in his movements, polite, adable
and kind-hearted. lie sometimes, when

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Judge Reagan's opinion ON the Pros
meets of His Bill.

Judge Reagan, of Texas, does not think
it at all probable that the two houses can
be brought to the point of agreement on an
Interstate Commerce bill during the pres
emit session of Congress- Senator Kenna, of
West Virginia, who was one of the trainers
Of the Reagan bill, and who during his term
in the House of Representatives took au
active part in all the discussions on the
subject, was seen by a representative of the
United Press to-day.
Like Mr.. Reagan, Mr.. Kenna thought
that the differences which exist
between the two houses on the
measure are too great to be over
come this session. at seems very plain
to me" said Senator Kenna, "that we might
as we'll appoint high tariff man to carry
out free trade doctrine as to refer this
matter to commission, for, in the very
nature of things, the commission would
have to be selected from men who have
been long acquainted with the me thods Of
railroads, and naturally the men are, to a
greater or less degree favorable to the
roads, so that, in fact, it would be virtually
a railroad commission"
