CAIRO, Dec. 30.--A dispatch from Koseh
says: "Lieut. Gen. Stephenson, CONS
mander Of the British forces in Egypt,
who recently arrived here with large re-
Inducements, attacked the rebels who had
been menacing the garrison several weeks
A three hours fight ensued, resulting I'M

Egyptian allies OF the British lost 6 killed
and l3 wounded.
A recent report stated that the Arabs
at Giniss and Abai numbered 1000, OF
whom 100 were rihemen. They had six
guns and plenty OF ammunition. Th9
guns were placed in earthwOrks, and the
line of fire was direct on the Nile, so as TO-

conversation on the Egyptian question:
said: III the English retire on Wady

DEFEATs DISASTROUS.
"Eyery pace In advance gives the Eng
lish hundred friends. Every pace in res
firing gives them 200 enemies--half in
front and half in the rear. England may
gain victory after victory, but II they are
followed by retreat the English govern
ment has uselessly wasted blood. There
is not one In ten who would not believe in
England's defeat. ! say that retirement
now would be fatal"
When asked whether the question was
insoluble, he replied: "No, 1t requires.
two thiugs--frst, a fixed policy 20 crush
the rebellion; secondly, money. Let Eng
land attack the enemy In force, and after
the latter's defeat open negotiations
With native emissaries and money Eng
land could detach the soldiers who are.
now the backbone OF the rebellion and
also some tribes who are always jealous
Of each other"
When asked what sum would be re-
CURED, the Minister replied: Perhaps

cheapest IN the long run.0
The rOut Of the rebels was so complete
that Gen. Stephenson is hopeful that Il

Rorinc Turnentine Trees.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-In reply to
communication from Senator George, Of
Mississippi, in relation to the boxing OF
trees FOR turpentiDe purposes by home
stead claimants, Judge Stockslager. As
sistant Commissioner of the General
Land office. says: "rhe process being
undou btedly one OF damage to the land
there is no warrant OF the law under
which permission can be granted to use
for the purposes indicated, timber upon
entries TO which title has not been ac-
qulred by the claimant" 1t appears that
the process OF boxing results invariably
in the death of the trees, and forest fires
usually follow, which render the land
worthless.

value OF corn averages nearly 33c. per
6ushel, and makes an aggregate of $685.
100000, $5,0O0,000 less than the value of
the last crop. The decrease in the pro-

and Kansas last year produced 170, 100000
bushels and this year only S0,000,000, a
