The news from the soudan increases in
horror. The momontary CLEAN of hopo
for Gordon is followed by evidence of the
death of Earle. The English situation
grows darker and gloomier as it becomes
moro fully known. Seldom in the history
of England has she been met by obstacles so
difficult to overcome and by an enemy SO
well prepared to resist. The fall Of Khar-
toum renders the subjugation of the Soudan
as difficult a task as any England has at
tempted Of late years.

until tho new administration has COM

acknowledge their right to settle in that
territory. The boomers are persistent at
least, aud it is by no means apparent that
they are not right.

The Boston Ideals.

The Boston Ideal Opera Company COM
mence an attractive and promising season
of English opera at Fords Opera House this
evening. The Boston Ideals have no su
periors in the operas which they render
and arc extremely popular in Washington,
where many members of the company are
well-known. The repertoire will include
the favorite gems for which the orgauiza-
tion is famous. This evenings attraction
will be the opera OF "BIartha" with Whitney,
Karl, Miss Stone aud Miss Phillips in the

The magnetic wonder" AT the
. CO'hiqUe.
Notwithstanding the intense cold the
audiences at the Comique have increased in
size with every performance. Murphy &
Mack have host of friends in this city, as
the size of the audiences shows Miss
Matte Lee Price, the natural wonder, who,
by light pressure Of the hands, moves
strong men about the stage and lifts three
at once, Who are seated in q chair, has re-
ceived hearty welcome. Her perform
ances are greeted with shouts of approval.
The scientifically disposed should certainly
witness this marvel Of magnetism, or what
ever power it is. Miss Price is young and
pretty girl, rather slight, and with no evil
dences of possessing any unusual amount of
muscularity. Yet, her power is so strange
that the beholders are astonished. Every
one should SEQ her performances.

What Mr.. Edmunds should have done was

II Senator Edmunds had assumed In 1877
the position which he has Just emphasized In
1885 there would have been no Electoral Com
mission, the votes OF Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina would have been rejected by
tho disagreement OF the two houses and the
country would never havo been under the ro
proach OF fraudulent President. Senator
Edmunds is unquestionably right, In spite of
the prompt and angry protests OF little parti.
sans like ingalls, and Conger and the animated
effort OF John Sherman TO appear consistent.
As for the Vermont Senator himself, he has
side at the wrong tlme.-ihtId. Times.
