clare that Randall wants to have one.
They are unable to explain the delay
in the appropriation bills upon any
other theory. The course of Randall
is regarded with suspicion for another
reason. 1t is suggested that Randall
may not choose to support the adj
ministration in the next house; that
is if Cleveland should recognize the
free trade element Randall will take
the floor in opposition.

ABOUT THE SOUDAN WAR.

Gen. Brackenbury's entire force,
including $50 animals, guns and
equipment complete, crossed over to
the right bank of the Nile Saturday,
ready to advance at daybreak Sunday
to Abu Hamed, 40 miles distant. Gen.
Brackenbury had visited the scene of
Col. Stewards murder and found
some of Stewards visiting cards, pa
pers belonging to Herbin and Power,
and shirt-sleeves stained with blood.
The steamer which conveyed Col.
Stewart from Khartoum to the place
where he was murdered is now 16
feet above the present level of the
water. She is Quilted and filed with
sand. The houses and all the prop
erty belonging to the blind man Fakri
Etman, one of the principal instigat-
ors of Col. Stewards murder, were
completely destroyed. The wounded
of Gen. Brackenbury's party are do
ing well. None have died since the
18th. The health and spirits of the
troops are excellent. Only Is men
besides the wounded are sick.
The latest news from Agig and
Tamai confirms the report of the brill
liant victory won by the mudir of Ia
ka and the Shukria tribe of friendly
Arabs against the Hadendowah tribe
of hostiles during an attack made by
the latter upon some friendly tribes
for supplying the garrison at Kassala
with grain. 1t is now stated that
during the battle no less than 5000
of the Hadendowah Arabs were killed
and among the slain was Sheik Moosa.
The Kassala garrison is short OF food
and ammunition, and as the place is
hard pressed by the enemy despite
the recent repulse, a surrender must
soon result unless the garrison be re.
lieved.
Gen. Wolseley announced at Kort

The latest report that comes with
authority is that the navy department
lies between Gen. Mcclellan and Nc
Donald of Indiana. The rumor that
Manning declined the treasury port
folio is not credited and the best DEM
ocratic opinion hereabout is that he
will accept. The rumor arose from
the statement of a prominent demo-
crat that Mr.. Manning's son had said
that his father might have the navy
department. 1t is thought that some
New England man will have this place,
and Judge Endicott of Massachusetts
is still supposed to be the man. There
is a further rumor tonight that Will
lam G. Whitney is to be offered the
place, but it is not credited. Should
Whitney have it, the supposition is
that Endicott will have the war de-
partment. The other positions show
no indications of change. Bayard
has the state department, Garland the
attorney-generalship and Villas the
postmaster-generalship.

have the duty of 1867 in wool restor-
ed. He writes to a wool growers
association that several bills to re-
store the tariff on wool, sleep in the
hands of the committee of ways and

of getting vote, or saying a word
upon the subject, nor any way of
compelling the committee to report
favorably or unfavorably. The COM
mittee is unfavorable to the project
and has unlimited power. 1t was
purposely formed to prevent the pro-
posed legislation and others of like
