The Two Dead Journalists.

John Alexander Cameron, the special
correspondent of the London Standard,
who was killed in the battle Of the 10Th,
was of Scotch birth, and in early life
was destined for business career. He
began life as clerk in trading house at
Madras, India. He subsequently eStab-
lished himself as trader at Secundera-
bad, and while thus employed made the
acquaintance of many of the officers
stationed at the environments. His ready
mind enabled him to make an exhaustive
study of army conditions. and in his
spare time he prepared and put
away for future use series
of papers upon the army. remarka-
BILE for their technical knowledge and
intelligent criticism Of existing defects
The great famine in the Deccan brought
disaster to his business, and shortly
after he proceeded to Bombay and sub
mittcd his army papers to the leading
journal of the oity, the Bombay Ga
zette. Their publication created a SEN
satlon, and in 1873 the Gazette sent him
as special correspondent to Candahar
i'll the expedition commanded by Gene
raj Sir Donald Stewart. After the
close of the war.the great success which
had actuated his labOrs as CORE
spondcnt led to his appointment as
cditOr-in-chief Of the GGzetfe, which
position he filed with the same energy
and intelligence which he had dis
played in AiGhanistan. His brilliant
work in the field had been noted by the
managers of the great London dailieS,
and when the assassination of Sir Louis
Cayagnari at Cabul startled all Eu-
rope, the London Standard cabled to
Cameron requesting him to proceed
without delay to Cabul with the army
as its special correspondent. Since that
time he has remained in the service of
the Standard, taking part rs correspond
ent in the movement against Candahar
under command Of General Phayre.
When the Beers made their struggle
for independence Cameron was sent
to South Africa. and his descrip-
ton Of the defeat of the British at
the ssng,iaary conflict at Majuba Hill
established his reputation. At the close
of the war he returned to London, where
he remained until the Egyptian out
break, headed by Arab Bey, when he
was again sent to the front. His &C
count of the bombRrdment Of AleXan-
dria by the British fleet is one of the
most graphic pen-pictures ever written.
He accompanied Sir Garnet Wolseley
to Egypt, and was present at the battle
of the Teb, and remained with the army
until he met his death in the march
across the desert to the Nile with the
corps under General Stewart.
Mr.. Herbert, the special correspond
ent of the London Post. who was shot
dead during the fierce attack of the re-
bells while the British were erecting the
zsreba, was formerly secretary to ord
Duilerin when the latter was Governor
General Of Canada. Mr.. Herbert wit
messed the battles Of Tel-el-kehsr, FL
Teb, and Tamai. BE was seserely
wounded at the last-aamed battlA.

were the most prominent features of

widely distributed. and there was

Bright addressed crowded meeting at
the Town Hall here this evening. He
said that the question Of disestabhsh-
ment would net be an OppSrtune one in
the present century. The speaker ridi-
culed the idea of a colonial confedera-
ton without system OF free trade, and
asserted that the next Parliament would
probably grant free trade in the land.
Mr.. Chamberlain, president of the
Board of Trade, also spoke. He called
upon Parnell to separate himself from
the dynamiters-nOt by silence, but by
speech. This sentiment was received
with prolonged cheers by the audience.

BRIEF NEWS ITEMS.
Senator Pendlcton, Of Ohio, presided
this morning in the Senate before it
went into executive session.
The galleries Of the House were
crowded to-day, and the report was
that this was caused by a report that
the dynamite resolutions would be dis
cussed. The cold weather, however,
drew many fellow there.
George W. Julian is a candidate for
the commissionership Of the Land Office.
He was an original Republican.
Representative Phil. Thompson,
whose term expires the Sd of March, is
to be pressed for Commissioner of In
ternsl Revenue.
The Washington Critic this evening
said that designations of postmastcrs
are coming in by the hundreds.
1t is very easy to conclude that any
statesman might accept the position of
Secretary Of State. But when the cost
of giving dinners to diplomats in full
dress is estimated his purse ought to
be full to accept such a position. Mr..
Blaine is very rich, and it did not en-
barrass him.

from the surgeons at Kubat stating that
Stewart was doing well. No attempt

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. They are all housed
in cosy tents, and are provided with
comfortable beds obtained from the ma

in view of the many hardships and
depriyations which the wounded men
have had to suffer and the almost con-
slant moving to which they have been
subjected most Of them are making
wonderful progress towards recovery.
In the cases Of about two thirds of the
wounded the injuries are very bad, and
among this class great number of sur
gical operations are still necessary. AS
many as possible of the wounded have
been sent back to Gakdul Wells. Sup
plies in the vicinity Of the post at ku-
bat are plentiful, and the army will
have to make no demand on their base
of supplies if the natives continue to
bring their produce in.
Some of the wounded rebels who
were taken prisoners by General Stew
arts force declare that the Frenchman
Olivier Pain is in command at Metem-
neh. All the prisoners state that they
consider the Mahdi's cause lost.
1t is reported that the Mahdi is send
