THE SITUATION IN EGYPT.

Another British Expedition To Be Sent to
Make Good Wolseley's Blunders.
LONDON, Dec. lit has for some time been
pointed out by military critics that the abandon
ment of Dongola was a mistake which would
have to be repaired. The activity and daily in
creasing strength Of the rebel forces have at
last attracted the attention of the government to
the serious state of affairs in Egypt and to the
fact that the present British force in Egypt is
totally unable to cope with the formidable army
of tho new Mahdi. Hence it is announced to-day
that the government has decided to send new
expedition to the Soudan, and it is being pre-
pared for immediate departure for Egypt.
The frontier field force in Egypt consists of
about G, SEQ men. under the command of Brigadier
general Grenfell. onehalf of the force being Brit
sh and the remainder Egyptian, The force is
thus divided: TO the extreme south, at Askaa-
shep and other small posts, are about 200 En-
gsh troops and 1900 Egyptians. In the event
of any rebel advance they would have to fall
back on Wady- -Halfa, where there are some l, 300
British and 700 Egyptians, under Breadier gen
eral Butler thus making force of l500 British
and 1000 Egyptians to defend Egypt's frontier
These might be reinforced by LOO British and
1,600 Egyptians at present at Korosko and AS
souan but the entire force, thus constituted, is
not sufficient for the holding of the extended
frontier. Under General Hudson, at Suakim,
are about 1000 British aud Indian troops.

BRIEF BIOGRAPHIES.

Scant Information to the Careers Of Some
of the New Congressman.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. lit seems that the new
members of the lower House have learned
thing or two from the experiences of their prede-
cessors in the matter of composing their antobi.
graphies for the Congressional Directory. Mem
bers of Congress have often been defeated for
second term by writing out too much in detail
the history of their own lives for publication in
the Directory. Some of the most effective rs
we'll as cruel comments, have been made by the
press upon the new members on account of their
particularly in this matter. 1t is observed that
nearly all the new members of this House have
made their personal mention as brief as
possible Quite a number of them have
reduced their sketches to two lines. Mr.. How
ard, of Indiana, got all he wanted to say in
twenty-six words, and Mr.. Gray, of Louisiana
in twenty-five words. Several of them have
left out the time of their birth. Most of them
do not refer to the instances wherein they were
defeated in their political aspirations. Missis-
sippi has new member, Mr.. Allen, who
simply states that he was from Tupelo, and was
elected to the Forty ninth Congress as a Demo-
crat, and received 80 many votes Mr.. Warner
of Missouri, and Mr.. Hutton and Mr.. Dawson, of
the same State, are as brief in their reference to
themselves Evidently they do not want this
thing pulled on them next spring in their dis
tricts.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


Comment by Democratsyshy They Fear to
Criticise the Document.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Comment upon the
Presidents message has taken very broad
course here in Washington. Members of every
party have spoken upon it. and the general su-
perstructure hasttood pretty good test. 1t has
beon amusing to the close observer however, to
examine the character of comment that has
been made by the Democratic statesmen. Nota
single one of them so far as your correspondent
knows, has criticised the message in the strict
meaning of the word criticism. Every one Of
them has passed an opinion and poured out full
some praise upon the document but in all there
has been none of criticism. No doubt every
paragraph bristes with sentiments that the rank
and file of the Democracy would like to take is
Democratic politician and statesman; but none
errors and give utterance to dsapproval where
ever found Is is plain why there is all this lack
of independence on the part of the Democrats.
They are all seeking positions under the admin
istration and are therefore afraid to speak their
minds. TIE Democrat of to-day, as he appears
in Washington, is the most able bodied and
voracious crow-eater the country has ever pro-
duced and his opinion on matters relating to the
administration is not worth the time it takes to
reproduce it.

A MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.
One Man Dead and Another Seriously Wound
ed-The Survivor Offers No Explanation.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 1L-Shortly before IL
o'clock, this morning G. w. Brown, an engineer,
residing at Cheyenne. Wy. T., entered the
asking the time of day, abruptly said: 'Benson,
am in trouble with woman at Cheyenne. and
want your advice and help"
Benson replied that he was busy, and rose to 60
out. When ne reached the door of his office, he
half turned to further excuse himself for leaving
SO unceremoniously, when Brown drew a revol-
yer. and, without saying word, fired. The ball
struck Benson on the left cheek Brown fred
again, the ball taking effect in his neck This
wound gave rise to the belief that Benson's
throat had been cut as he was bleeding pro-
fusely from the wound when found. Brown
then turned the revolver on himself, and fired
three shots. but realizing that he had not KILLED
himself, seized large paper REUTER- lying on the
desk, and furiously thrust it into his neck. The
blow was so we'll aimed, and with such savage
force, that it passed almost through, and severed
the jugular. vein. He dropped to the floor
nsa 5ed his is ds gt asemnn sns in wso hsO few
penen to be near the door of the Office heard the
shots, and rushed into Benson's Office, but too
late to prevent further mischief. Benson, on
being raised up quickly said he had not had any
dispute with Brown; had known him for several
years: had had many land transactions with him,
and did not know why he should shoot him, or
take his own life.
Brown is we'll known on the coast, having re-
sided here fourteen years. Last July he failed
for 1924, 900, but succeeded in arranging his
affairs, and since then has secured some valu-
able government land on dredging contracts.
The trouble is traced to balance of S., 600
which Brown claimed as due him, and which
Benson disputed. 1t is supposed demand for
the money led to the shooting Brown is a son
of A. L. Brown, of Cheyenne, formerly chief
clerk of the United States survey or-generals
Office at that city. Bensons wounds, although
dangerous, are not believed to be fatal

FISH'S DEVOTED DAUGHTER.
Lingering Around Auburn Prison to Catch a
Glimpse of Her Father.

AUBURN N. Y, Dec. 11.-For q fortnight the
town gossips have been endeavoring to discover
the identity of plainly -attired young woman
thoroughfares. demurely inspecting the shop
windows and curiousy observing the passers-by,
yet never exchanging token of recognition
with anyone. She seemed to be possessed of
ample funds. and, while having none Of the airs
of matron. often bought clothing and toys
which could only be of use to children. She is
of medium height, has German cast of counte-
nance, and fine figure, always draped in plain
but expensive materials. Where she came from,
why she was here, and who were her relatives,
was a puzzle until now, when she is recognized
ms the daughter of James d. Fish.
She has engaged rooms at the boarding house
Of Mrs. Joseph Neyhart, in the most select por-
tion of the city. When her father was taken to
New York as witness in the trial of Ward she
informed Mrs. Neyhart that she would not need
the rooms. It was understood that she had
given uD the idea of coming to Auburn. On the
evening of Nov. l6, however, she arrived unan-
nounced and was at once driven to the house of
Mrs Neyhart With her was the little daughter
of Sallie Reber, the young woman who died in
New Jersey in the care of James D. Fish. She
requested Mr.. Neyhart not to inform any one Of
her identity, ard so strictly has the injunction
been obeyed that only those in the secret knew
OF her presence here. The rules of the prison
allow prisoners to receive friends for half hour
once month Warden Lanehart has, however,
extended to Miss Fish the privilege of visiting
her father once IN fortnight Their interviews
occur in the chaplains Office where Fish is en-
ployed in reading letters to and from his fellow
prisoners. Miss Fish attends the services in the
prison chapel on Sunday morning, and, seated in
the visitors gallery is enabled to see her father
at his devotions. but does not get an opportunity
then to speak with him.

THE EASTERN DIFFICULTY.

Demarkation Commission Appointed and
Peaceful Outcome Expected.
LONDON, Dec lit is officially announced
that Servia will abide by the decision of the
powers, if compatible with her interests and
dignity. Servia has proposed that the powers
appoint military commission to demarkate a
line between the Bulgarian and Servian armies,
beyond which neither force shall pass pending
the peace negotiations
Colonel Horatovico, commander of the Servian
army, has ordered the removal of the braidings
and other distinguishing marks from officers
uniforms, on account of the heavy losses of
officers in the recent battles.
The Times says THE Eastern difficulty may
be regarded as virtually settled The powers
have agreed to recognize the union of the Bull
garias. A demarkation commission has been
appointed, which insures an armistice Of a

PANAMA, Dec. 1.-THE present condition of
the projected interoceanic canal across the 18TH

company: Operations are under way on two
thirds OF the entire length Of the proposed canal
The other third will be easiest of all to excavate

preparations are being made for beginning work
on this section, and the erection Of machinery is
now in progress The company has
just completed a contract for the excava-
tion Of all that portion which lies in
the high Chagres valley Excavations
are now in progress along the line of the canal
proper, and also for changing the obstructing
water courses. Excavators are now being dis
embarked. The company and the engineers are
straining every nerve to bring the work to
speedy conclusion. The American dredgers on
the first twenty kilometers are all working to
their full capacity. The number of laborers now
employed is 900, and it is the purpose of the
company to double this number during the dry

But Little Business Will BE Done Until After
the Holiday Recess.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1l--About all Of the ses-
sion before the holiday recess, which will un-
doubtedly occur within about week, will be
consumed in minor discussions. such as upon the
rules in the House, and but little actual work
will be done 1t is said that the possibility of
the passage of the project to distribute the ap-
preparations among the committees has been
a source of great deal of trouble to Speaker
Carlisle since Congress met. He refused on the
first day of the session to talk about the compo-
sition OF his committees, saying that if the
rules were very materially changed it would af-
feet the committees. Before this agitation of
change of the rules is over. something will be
done which will make it impossible for small
combinations to defeat measures by filibustering,
and this thing of one man setting
himself up to defeat bills by a sim
gle objection. The country will applaud
the work that dwarfs this one-man power. It is
believed that good deal of committee work in
the way of consideration of nominations will be
done in the Senate before holiday recess. A
great deal of correspondence and testimony is
now lodged with the committees which will be
called upon to consider the nominations, so that
as soon as the preliminary meetings are held act
ual work viii. be begun. Opinion seems to be
about equally divided among the senators as to
whether any combinations will be made before
holiday recess; but the general impression seems
to be that, if the combinations not actually
made. good many decisions will be arrived at
before that time.
When Congress reassembles, in January, there
will be very active work in both branches, and il
will take but few days to settle down to busiN
ness. The work heretofore accomplished before
holiday recess has been in the line of skirmish
ing, and has not amounted 10 very much.

vANDERBILT'S MARRIAGE.
The Millionaire's Widows First Meeting will
Her Husband.

ne M1HOn81reS WIDOW First M2etlng with
Her Husband.
Philadelphia Call
Mrs. w. H. Vanderbilt the widow of the late
millionaire, is now about fifty-ive or sixty years
old. and is in excellent health She was mar
ried when about eighteen, and was considered
very lovely as girl. Her maiden name was
Miss Martha Kissam. and she was the dau ghter
of clergyman of modest means, but of an old
and aristocratic family. The wife of her brother,
Mrs. Benjamin p Kissam. is now resident of
First Place, Brooklyn. AS girl Mrs. Wander
bilt was noted for her pretty face graceful and
simple manners and charitable acts, and these
traits she has retained throughout her married
life
Her marriage came ABOUT in quite a romantic
way. On bright moonlight night at about
10 o'clock, Miss Kissam was walking through the
quiet and deserted streets of Albany Suddenly
she was startled by the clatter of horses hoofs.
Soon she saw coming up the street. at break
neck pace. bay horse, on which was seated
young Vanderbilt handling his horse with ease
and grace. When the horse and rider had
reached the corner where the young lady stood,
she being of a modest retiring nature, Withdrew
in the shadow of doorway. The horse saw the
movement, and, being a spirited animal, SHE'D
and threw its rider, who fell heavily on pile of
stones, striking the left side of his face Miss
Nissan screamed and sprang forward, supposing
thaC Vand0rDllJ was eltner OeaQ or very badly
hurt. Hardly had she reached his side when he
jumped up. shook himself and brushed the dust
from his face.
"Are-are you badly hurtp timidly inquired
the young lady
'.Not at all, Miss-Miss- stammered the
youth
miss Kissam," whispered the young lady,
while many bushes suffused her pretty face
''Well. I'm not hurt, Miss Nissan" said Will
lam HI. Vanderbilt, as he introduced himself,
"but I'm pretty badly shaken up."
Miss Kissam appeared embarrassed, and in
sisted upon young Vanderbilt going to her home,
as he suddenly appeared very faint 1t did not
take much persuasion to induce him to escort
her home. Here he was introduced to Miss Kis-
sans father A pleasant evening was spent,
and William proved such an excellent converse
tionalst that when he took his departure that
evening he was invited to cali again. which he
did repeatedly, until they were married
Mrs. Vanderbilt has been a most faithful and
loving wife She has never been fond of $50
ciety," as it is known in New York, and it was
only for the benefit Of her three daughters that
she gave the balls and parties necessary to
launch them into social life. Her taste in dress
is both quiet and plain, but she has worn many
beautiful gowns and diamonds of priceless value
to please her husband and children. In appear
ance Mrs Vanderbilt is still very pleasing She
is of medium height and has a plump but not
stout form. Her face is fair and kindly and lit
by large gray eyes, framed in grayish- brown hair.
She is devout church woman, and for wears
has been member of ST. Bartholomew. on
Madison avenue.
