A Desperate Battle.

LONDON, January 21.-A dispatch has
been received at the war Office from
Gen. Wolseley, dated Korti, January q,
p. m, which reads substantially as fol-
lows: Gen. Stewart has had heavy en-
gagement with portion of Mahdis forces
near Abu Zba wells, about twenty-three
miles this side of Metemneh. The rebels
had collected from Berber, Metemneh and
olduramn. On the afternoon of January
10th Gen. Stewards cavalry reported that
the enemy were in position some few miles
TINS side OF the wells. Ii was too late in
the day to allow of an advance and sue
eessiul encounter. Gen. Stewart bivouacked
where he was for the night The enemy
kept up fire all night and erected works
on Gen. Stewards right flank Saturday
Gen. Stewart endeayored 10 draw the
enemy on TO make an attack, but the
rebels hesitated. In consequence Gen.
Stewart left all his impediments and camp
with guard OF the Sussex regiment and
some mounted infantry and moved for
ward, keeping his forces in the form of a
square. The British army passed around
the enemys flank, forcing them to make
an attack or be subject to an enilading fire.
The ehemy wheeled to the left and made
a well organized charge under
whitening fire from our men the square
was unfortunately penetrated about its
left rear where the heavy cavalry and regi-
ment were in possession by sheer weight
OF numbers. The admirable steadiness of
our men enabled them to maintain hand
to hand fight with the opposing force
while severe punishment was being in
tlicted upon the enemy BY all the other
parts of the square, and the enemy were
finally driven back under a heavy fire 1
from all sides The 18th Hussars then
pushed forward to the wells which were in
our possession by > o'clock in the evening.
The enemy eft not less than 500 slain
around the works. The prisoners taken
while the enemy were returning to report 4
the number of the enemy wounded was
luite exceptional. One immediate effect .
Of the battle is that so many rebels are sub \
hitting that il was necessary for the army 4

ion was to push on with all the expedition \

LONDON, January - A report is current
hat Gen. Stewart has occupied Metemneh.
This lacks official confirmation, but is gen
rally believed, as Stewart pushed forward
With the greater part of his force immedi-
ltely after the victory on Saturday near
Aluleka Wells. 1t is highly probable also
hat all of the rebels who had been sta
toned at Metemneh left that point TO take
part in Saturdays engagement, and it is
thought unlikely that they rallied and
made stand so soon after decisive de-
eat The government telegraphed public
congratulations to Wolsley and Stewart.

Free Trade DIscussInn.

LONDON, January 2l.-Lowell, the
American Minister, presided at meeting
of the Society of Arts this evening. Mr..
ID Pigeon delivered lecture on Labor
and Wages in America" He said the
workingmen were not likely to initiate
free trade, and that movement was more
likely to be effected through internal com
petition.
A discussion followed, in the course of
which Lowell observed that his position
prevented him from expressing his opinion
on the subject, but he would say many
far sighted Englishmen believed that in the
adoption of free trade in America it
would give England dangerous competi-
tion in ali the markets of the world, be-
cause many American fabrics were more
honest than English goods of the same de-
scription. Free trade would enable Ameri-
ca soon to equal England's mercantile
marine, which had heretofore been impossi-
bic through the operation of the American
navigation law and tariff England would
find America the most intelligent competi-
tor she had yet met

WASHINGTON, January 2l.-The Secre-
tary of the Treasury decided aquestion
which has been pending some time, in
volving the duties on tin. The law puts
duty OF one cent per pound on articles COM
mercially known as tin plate. 1t was pre-
sented by American manufacturers that
sheet iron, which, to some extent, comes
into complication with larger sizes Of tin
plates than the commercial article of tin
plate, is restricted to certain sizes and
thickness, and that larger sizes ought to
pass under much higher duty. The
Secretary, however. decides that all sheets
of iron coated purely with tin comes with
in the class of tin plate, dutiable at one
cent per pound, without distinction to size
or thickness.

DRY GOODS.

Our preparations for the spring and summer
of 1885 surpass all previous efforts for the
accommodation of our very large trade. Just
received from New York and Philadelphia
manufacturers and headquarters piles of New
Goods at New Prices Having bought our
goods in large lots for cash, we will sell them
in many instances lower than the same goods
can be bought elsewhere. There being a
break in prices of Dress Goods, we can sell
these goods from 5 to 10 cents per yard lower
than the same goods could be bought month
ago. We mean to do business; we shall always
have what the people want at the peoples
prices. Big prices will not do in these hard
times, for no one can afford to waste their
money. Itshall be our aim to give you every
dollars worth every time, for if there is virtue
in good goods at low prices we mean to be
masters of the situation-the live pioneers
who dive down to rock bottom. 1t will be
impossible for us to give you quotations, but
when you visit our store we will give you
prices that are stern and stubborn facts, that
will level your head on genuine bargains.
