THE news yesterday received Of the
second brilliant victory won by Gen.
Stewart over the Arabs has had a tend
ency to divert the thoughts OF the Eng
fish people into a new channel Dynamite
troubles s~upenddcd to gloomy uncer-
tainty regarding the fate of the men
gradually nearing Khartoum had given
rather an acrimonious tingc to public sen
timent across the water. This has now
given place 4 enthusiasm and temporary
forgetfnlncsz Of the lurking dynamiters-
Il is quite evident from the dispatches re
ceived that Stewards second battle was
even more fierce and sanguinary than the
frsi and leaves M doubt that the force at
Stewart's command was BY no means as
large As il should have been considering
the difficulties to surmount. That gal.
liant commander has, however, well mcr-
tied the distinguished honor conferred
upon him by the queen.
About the only person engaged in the
affair who Is not winning new laurels is
Gen Lord Wolseley. on whom the blush
ing honors have heretofore fallen more
thickly probably than upon more deserv-
inr men.
