Tie War in the Soudan.

LONDON, Jan. ga dispatch from Gubat
says: Th' four steamers sent down the river
by Gen. Gordon had not been to Khartoum
for month. They had been awaiting the
British at an Island above Metemueh. The
vessels are covered with heavy boards of
hard wood outside, and thin iron plates in
side. They present battered appearance,
being pitted with bullet marks. The funnel,
are also thickly indsnted with the marks OF
bullets. The vessels resemble floating houses
rather than war ships. Each steamer has
several hundred plucky blacks aboard. They
are commanded by Turkish officers, who
have wives aud families with them. The
British are improving their defenses, having
learned that a force of Arabs Is coming from
Berber TO attack them. The troops have been
put on half rations until supplies from Oak
dull arrive.
A dispatch from Korti states that Metem>
neh is garrisoned by $4,000 of the Mahdi's
troops under command of Oliver Paine, an
ex. communist of Paris.
Wolseley telegraphed from Korti this NOR
ming that he had received reports from the
surgeons at Gubat stating that Stewart was
doing well, but that no attempt had been
made to extract the bullet. The bullet en-
tered the thigh and is now lodged In the
region of the groin. The hospital for the
wounded and disabled of Stewards command
is pitched on the bank of the Nile.
Further news from Gen. Earle shows that
his total force amounts to $500 men. They
are proceeding up the Nile, partly in whale
boats and partly by the road on the river
bank. After the capture of the village of
Warag, Earle's forces started for Abouhamed,
two days march distant.
News concerning the operations of un-
friendly Arabs along the Red Sea continues
to grow more serious. Massowah is almost
in state Of siege, with gloomy prospects of
relief. The Arabs make attacks In force al
most every night upon, Suakim, and, during
the dark, firing against the garrison Is almost
continual. The garrison has been greatly
strengthened by the arrival of 400 British
troops.
News has been received of a desperate
attack upon the Galabal garrison, in which
100 of the garrison and 500 of the enemy
were killed.

THE BANISHED BOOMERS.
capituiation OF the coionists and Ares, Of c.o
tain Couch.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 31.-General Hatch
reached Caldwell, Kansas, from Stillwat.r.
yesterday. He states that Couch refused IN

Wichita to day. General Hatch sent de
tachment from Saltwater to intercept 600
boomers en- route from Arkansas. He esti.
mates that there were, altogether, nearly
400 invaders In the Territory. All these
have left or been removed from the Terri
tory without bloodshed. Guards have been
stationed at the avenues OF ingress, which,
1t Is thought, will prevent further Invasion at
present. The boomers, however, declare
their intention of returning. A meeting
held In Kansas City yesterday was addressed
by Couch and others, at which resolutions
were passed denouncing in unmeasured
terms the action of the Government, and
declaring their intention of an early renewal
of their efforts to colonizs the Oklahoma
country. 1t was resolved to meet at Arkan.

Tn. English Avail, Re.nsoreemeD,..

LONDON, San. 31.-The Maids men are
SO we'll situated at Metemneh that 1t has been
deemed advisable to await reinforcements
bsfor sssaulting the stronghold. Upon the
arrival of reinforcements, Gen. Stewards
command win endeavor to take Metemneh

will largely depend upon Gen. Gordon. 1t
Is said that Gordon, II success crowns the
work OF the expedition, may positively re-
fuse to be relieved, and that be may insist on
remaining At Khar:oum and establishing 9
government there. In the latter case, Stew

HEBER NEWToN,s HEREsIEs.
The Trinity Pronounced Sort of Midsummer
Nights Dream.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 31.-Heber Newtons SER
mos last Sunday, upon the Trinity and Orig
inal Sin, is to be followed by second pre-
sentiment Of Newton to his Bishop for heresy.
The Episcopal layman who is said to be
drafting the presentment says the pressure
which is being brought to bear upon Assist
ant Bishop Potter 10 one to which, In all
probability, be will be constrained to yield,
from high sense Of duty. Newton declared,
In last Sundays sermon, that the doctrine Of
the Trinity Is utterly grotesque, IL not q sort
OF Midsummer Nights Dream, for which
Christianity 10 indebted to the influences Of
Egyptian and PROBABLY Hindoo speculation.
he also said that the doctrine Of original sin,
not les. than that Of the Trinity, Is contrary
to science, revealed truth anc the genius and
spirit Of religion. Orthodox churchmen who
have stood by Newton heretofore, and mp
held him In his criticism of Scriptural inspi-
ration, stand shocked At these utterances.
Others, less shaken BY the pulpit utterances
OF some Of our city churches, put Newton
among the "notoriety-cravers,r regarding
him Is brilliant young man-bIinded by
SILL conceit. The present movement against
Newton Is stronger than that previously en-
ployed 10 induce DIR. Potter to take action
10 his case.

INA NOTE TO the Independent, January "a,
Marshal A. G. Botkin explains that q previ-
Gus note to that paper, to which We respond
ed, was not intended for publication. He
says he Is still skeptical as to whether 1t was
better TO erect the penitentiary building that
has been erected or TO expend 1t on the walls
of q detached wing. We have no doubt on
the subject, and gave 1t thorough considers-
ton before recommending the sctisn that
has been taken. Whether another appropri-
alton shall be had or not, we hold that, all
things considered, II was essentially and en-
phatically the proper thing TO do, and 1t has
been done. While We have no doubt the
sctisn will be decidedly sustained whenever
and by whomsosver examined into, we do
not see that any determination of the matter
Ia TO be reached by Marshal Botkin or our
self saying "it Is" and at isn't" When q
determination Is made by one person be-
tween two alternatives, II is not difficult or
unusual thing for some other person to say
that the other alternative should have been
adopted, and that's all there is of this mat

at least from Utah, and the polygamists
themselves are reported TO be thoroughly
frightened. Recently President Taylor and
several Of hi, chief dignitaries have made
mysterious Journeys to the far South, and
since they have returned curious rumors are
afioat concerning the intention Of the polyg-
amists. II Is alleged they have finally ne
gotlated . treaty with Chief Csjens OF So
nora after four years parlsying, that the po-
lygamists will leave the monogamists In
q body and cmigrate TO Sonora, and that
President Taylor has contracted 10 settle So
600 Of the polygamists there. While these
are the reports, they are only reports, and
may or may not be true. That there has
been an unusual furry among church lead
ers, much consternation ct the result Of the
trials and some mysterious visits TO the
South gives color TO the rumsrs.

TO rival the exploit Of Guy Fswkes by de.
stroying the British House of Parliament,

sInated In o'Donovan Rossss dynamite den

Corday In shooting Rosa In the back. In

down In his chair or shoot him In the back,
there Is one lower degree Of infamous assas-
sination, and that Ia TO destroy or imperil

upon the perpetrators Of this crime Of crimes.
The Socialistic and Nlhillstic element

prime duty Of the United States 10 TO put
the manufacture and handling Of dynamite
under such restrictions that America will
not be the breeding ground for conspiracies
or q laboratory for the manufacture Of in
fernal machines. This evil should be met
promptly and decisively.

He is Impatient to Again Plow the Polar Seas
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-Chief Engineer
Melville, of Arctic fame, issued to-day an
address to the American public, wherein he
expresses the belief that the time is now ripe
for the making of final and successful yoy-
age to the North Pole. The route he adyo-
Gates is by way of Franz Josef's Land, and
he declares 1t to be an entirely safe and feas-
ible one. 1t would be, he thinks, an actual
saving Of life to make the attempt now, be-
fore the knowledge born Of experience ex~
pires, and he trusts there is some man in
America who will rise to the occasion, and
from his abundance supply the paltry sum
requisite to fit out an Arctic'expeditisn. This
sum he places at $4,000, providing trans
port ship Is only chartered, or $4,000 IL 1t
be retained, which he asserts Is not neces-
,ary. He will write, he says, the name Of
bis patron across the Polar continent.

FoR several days the newspapers have been
full of anecdotes Of Colonel Burnaby. Prob
ably he was happier in his death than he
would have been in continued life. The
hardships Of his many adventures, and the
fast and furious life of London Guardsman
had made him q somewhat broken man at
the close Of his fortieth year. He was do
mestically, too, rather unhappy, although
his marriage was sufficiently romantic. Miss
Whitshed was attracted to him by reading
his book about Khivs. She asked for an in

dowed him with herself and $4,000 year.
She has lately been separated from him, and

MARSHAL BoTKIs's friends have asked
the Judiciary Committee of the Senate, by
strong petitions, to investigate the report
against him of Examiner York Of the De-
partment Of Justice, before confirming his
successor. II Is entirely proper that the
Marshal should have fair hearing on The
report, and II the Judiciary Committee do
not sustain the recommendation of the At
torney General, Mr.. Kriedler's nomination
should be withdraw by the President; other
wise, Ia case Of REORGANIZATION, an impu-
tatIon Of unworthiness might rest upon him
although he were entirely unobjectionable.
With The petitions sent from Montana and
the active efforts Of Marshal Botkin's friends
in the Senate, there appears no doubt that
the matter will be fully inquired into by the
Judiciary Committee, and unless ample
cause Is shown 1t is net likely Marshal Bot
kin will be superseded in the last days Of the
Republican administration.
