The War in Egypt.

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Au Arabian paper
publishes an extract from letter from Ell
Mahdi to Osman DigDa stating that two
attempts to cross the White Nile and attack
hhartoum in the rear were thwarted by
the deepness Of the water and the want OF
bonts. Therefore he is quietly awaiting at
Omdurman the arrival Of the English army.
He leaves to OSman Digna the defense of
the route from Suakin, thus enabling them
u cut off the retreat of the English by
either route.

and slight -kirmish ensued, in which one
British soldier was killed The rebels then
proceeded towards Metemneh. The fact
that they rcfrained from attacking the Eng

Up TO the result of last falls election,
during the entire sway of the corrupt re-
publican party, the leaders Of that party,
from the President down TO the lowest fed
eral office holder in its membership, were
conspicuous for the open contempt and rid
icule with which they treated all civil
service reform laws and rules. But sud-
den and remarkable change came DER the
spirit of their dreams immediately subse-
quent to Clevelaud's election, since which
time, with them, no virtue equals, or even
compares with, that they so recently con-
temned and reviled-civil service reform.
Indeed they regard it so much that chief
clerks in the departments who, under it,
are subject to arbitrary removal, are resign
Ing their lucrative positions, and willingly
dropping down to low salaried positions,
the clerks in which can only be removed for
cause.
