WHIPPING ARABS.

The British Forces Have . Fight With the
Arabs Investing SuaIkim and Clean Out
the Trenches-Four Hundred Killed.
LONDON, Dec. 20-The combined force
OF British and Egyptians have made an
attack upon the rebel position. They
after a brilliant engagement, last ng half
an hour. drove the enemy into the bush.
The forts shelled the trenches, keeping up
q terrible fire. The enemy held their
ground within the trenches until the b ack
brigade charged, which fell after half an
hours hard fighting. The rebels fought
with fana ical bravery. Two of the
enemy's guns were captured. The naval
brigade did splendid work.
The SEQ. fish borderers are now at work
entrenching the rebel position. The enemy
are retreating towards Haseesh. The
British forces numbers 1900.
The rebels are reported to have lost 400
men killed. The British loss was four men
killed and two wounded during a cavalry
charge. The Egyptian and black regi-
ments lost two men killed and thirty
wounded. The only officers wounded in
the attacking force were two Egyptians.
The British are encamped in the rebel po-
sition. The victory was complete.
A feature Of the fighting was the deter
mined rush upon tho trenches by the
blacks and Egyptians. The dervishes
fought with the utmost bravery, great
many of them dying in the trenches. The
charge of the hussars was also especially
brilliant. When the dervish cavalry saw
them coming they dismounted from their
horses and planted their spears In the
ground, but these proved no obstruction
to the hussars. who swept down upon the
dervsh horseman like an avalanche, cut
through their ranks and left half of them
dead ON the ground. The hussars then re-
formed and charged the remaining der
wishes, who fed. A large portion Of tbs
rebel force was not engaged in sto- day q
fighting, being absent camping at Han
doub and the wells beyond that place. II
is believed the rebels will be reinforced
and make an attempt soon to retake their
lost position

wishes have been captured. All are

The prisoners say they believe that all

the same story of privation and cruelty at
the hands Of the Mahdi and Osman Digna.
None of them wished to fight, but were
forced to do SO. OF persuaded by promises
of loot at Suakm and other rewards. The
trenches were bare. They found no food,
clothing or money, but only Snider rifles
and cartridges.

a compromise between the two. He argued
that the high duties now imposed were not
required to compensate for the difference in
cost of production of articles here and
abroad on account of the higher rate of
wages in the United States. Kennedy Of
Ohio next spoke and said the southern mem
bers were free traders SO far as northern
products were concerned but protectionists
when it came to their own products.
Boutelle of Maine secured the floor and
quoted several authorities in support of the
declaration made by him on Saturday that
Garfield had repudiated a membership in the
Golden club In reference to the statement
that Murat Halstead was member of the
club Boutelle read letter from that gentle
man in which he says:
The story that am member of the Golden
club is correct. One night in London, with Cyrus
w, Field personal friend Of Golden, boarded
n small steamboat at Westminster, and was car
ried TO Greenwich. There we had white bait
dinner, twelve courses of fish, and as good IA cold
champagne as was ever drank in Maine. IL was
lovely dinner. There was a distinguished man In
the chair and a toast master who whooped things
up and made them lively. l made speech about
the white wings of commerce on the ocean, and
the large rivers in America, and the
distance Cincinnati was from salt
water and the Indifference of her
her people ON the tariff questions; and The Lon
ought TO have told something about the reciprocity
treaty with Canada, but did not seem to know
much about il; and that was true. II was for my
services in making this Greenwich speech that
was made an honorary member of the Golden
club, and have ever since received marked copies
of the publications of that energetic organiza.
ton, and many marked copies and pamphles-in'
deed loads of the most serious and duh infOrma
ton ever nisapplied TO human affairs. 1 would
rather at any time read the essays of my old friend
I fhap MT .ylt.Np
the limited express between Washington and New
York. This literature shook my faith in the appli-
cation of free trade TO our country that Is, Of
selecting our country to begin with, Then the
price of news print is less than one-half of what it
was before the war, and told Frank Hurd and
Henry Watterson about that, and that was
afraid protection had caused more paper mills
and paper materials and had knocked down the
price of the one article of merchandise that did
know something about, and when Hurd and Wat
terson couldn't explain it, Golden club fashion
couldn't.
There was more of the same sort in Hal
steads letter, which closed with this observa-
ton:
President Cleveland had been a member of
the Golden club as long as have he would have
known better than to have written his message of
December last.
This closed the tariff debate for the day.

The Choice of Kansas Republicans-An
Anti Saloon Man Delegate.
WICHITA, Kan, May 10.--The Republican
state convention met at 1920 yesterday
morning, but it was not until O'Clock that a
permanent organization was effected A
contest occurred over the sending Of Alfred
Griffin, an anti saloon Republican leader, as
a delegate to the Chicago convention. The
fight was on his prohibitory views, but he
was elected on the first ballot Thomas A.
Osborne, ex-governor of the state; Col ]. X.
Hallowell, and Judge Strong were selected as
the other delegates. The resolutions adopted
by the convention denounce the president
and his pension vetoes; recommend the re-elec.
ton of Senator Plumb, and approve heartily
the speeches of Senator Ingalls, in reply to
Voorhees, and Blackburn. The platform coli
cludes as follows:
Resolved, That the delegates to the Chicago
convention would represent the Republicans
of Kansas by giving solid vote for Ingalls,
as a candidate for president of the United
States; that while we are for Senator Ingalls,
for president, and SO express ourselves in no
uncertain words, if it shall be found that his
nomination is impracticable, and if the cleo
ton of James q. Blaine Ia deemed by dele
gates from doubtful states possible the Kan
sas delegates vote for the latter

PASSED AND HUNG UP AGAIN.


The Senate Passes the Land Forfeiture Bill,
but Reconsideration Is Moved.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 10.-The Rid
dleberger resolution for the open considera-
alton of the fisheries treaty was reported ad-
versely to the senate yesterday, as was Hoar's
resolution for report of the debates there
on. The land grant forfeiture bill then came
up, and was amended so as to protect the
rights of homestead and presumption claim
ants In Michigan and Iowa, and as thus
amended the bill was passed, but Call moved
a reconsideration, which motion was pending
at adjournment. The international copy
right bill was then passed, and the senate ad.
journed.
The house passed the appropriation of $780,
600 to enable the United States TO participate
in the Brussels international exposition and
another Of sl5O,OO0 for participation in the
Cincinnati exposition in June. The agricul-
ture experiment station act was amended so
as to authorize governors of states to receive
the money when legislatures are not in ses-
sion, and then the tariff debate was resumed
Morrow, Houk, and Kennedy spoke against
the Mills bill and Hooker and Wise in favor
of it. Boutele presented proof that the late
President Garfield did not accept his honorary
election to membership in the Golden club, and
a letter from Murat Halstead admitting that
he was an honorary member, but declaring
he didn't believe in its doctrines, and after
receiving a presidential veto of bill for a
public building at Allentown, Pa, the house
at p. M. adjourned.

MADISON, Wis, May 10-At II m yester-
day Chairman H. A. Taylor, of the state
central committee, called the Republican
state convention to order and made short
address. AT the mention of Governor Rusk's
name there was continued and enthusiastic
applause. The permanent organization was
soon effected, with ira B. Bradford in tho
chair and Theodore Otgen, secretary. The
representation to the convention was very
full, all the counties and congressional dis
tricts being represented by delegates. An
adj ournment was then taken for dinner.
Chairman Bradford addressed the conven-
ton when it reassembled, and said that the
grand old party could no longer live upon the
past. 1t fighting with formidable ad-
'"'-'" "sr, ""d if it xDfctel ia daffslt that ad
versary 1t must make the tight upon honest
principles 1t were better that the Repub-
lican party should be defeated in the fight
upon principles, rather than it should obtain
u victory by questionable means. In its reso-
lntions there would be no double meaning no
straddling of fences. The platform should be
plain; not capable of being read one way in
one community and another way in another
Community. The Republican party had been
slumbering in the tents it should now be up
and doing. Should the honest statesman, the
fearless leader, the brave soldier, Jeremiah
Rusk, be nominated, the great minds of the
Democratic party would find no comfort in
the coming contest.
The platform declares for tariff revision,
but insists that it must be made by the
friends of protection, and not the enemies;
criticises Clevelands administration as one
of pledges unredeemed; demands the admis-
sion of Dakota as a state, and closes with a
presentation of the name of Governor Rusk
to the Republican party as its candidate for
president paying warm tribute to the gov
ernor as a man of proved capacity, both
civil and military.
John G. Spooner, of Hudson; II. C. Payne,
of Milwaukee; H. o. F>iirchilds, of Mari

ALBANY, N Y, May l0.-Governor Hill
has vetoed the Crosby high license bill on
the grounds that it unjustly discriminates in
placing a higher license on beer than on liq-
uor that it unreasonably taxes grooers' sales
of liquors in packages; that it would operate
as prohbitory of the traffic in small villages
and rural districts; that the existing laws
permit higher license than is in fact exacted,
showing that public sentiment does not de-
mand compulsory general increase, and
that the bill is in many essential respects a
partisan measure, aud not based on the de-
inands of general public policy.

WASHINGTON CITY, May l0-President
Cleveland In his message sent to the house
yesterday, vetoing the Allentown, Pa, public
building bill, says he is thoroughly convinced
that there is no present necessity for the ex-
penditure of 100000 for any purpose con
nectd with the public business at that place,
In closing his message he INDUCES in the fol-
lowing general criticism of the Every objec-
tionable" plan now pursued for the erection Of
pubic buildings, "They are" he says, "often
bull, where not needed, Of dimensions and
at cost entirely disproportionate to any pub
lie use To which they can be applied, and, as
a consequence, they frequently serve more to
demonstrate the activity and pertinacity of
those who represent localities desiring this
kind of decoration at public expense than to
mee0 the necessity Of the government"
