The She Anarchist Again on Deck.

Chicago special: Mrs. Lucy Parsons
reached Chicago this morning on her
return from England. This afternoon
she wa busily engaged in u%npacking
her trunks. "I'm glad to get back, of
course" said Mrs. Parsons. every re-
turned traveller says that, but I mean it;
and what particularly pleases me is that
L came to Chicago and went home with
out a single policeman knowing L was
here. They had half the force out to
welcome me on my arrival, but L out
witted them. I got off at the first stop
south of the depot and rode home in a
cab, leaving them to wonder where in
the world l had gone"
Mrs. Parsons was on her favorite tack,
and it was q difficult matter to turn her
in another direction. Before she was
through with her condemnation of the
police she had said many ugly things.
When the reporter succeeded in getting
her to talk of other matters, she told
again what she had been doing in Eng
land, md was enthusiastic over the way

War O

"The peaceful citizen who reads Ia
his morning paper the full details of a
battle that was perhaps fought the
previous day." said Archibald Forbes
to a. New York Mail writer, 'little
thinks of the perils and dangers the
correspondent on the field of battle
has to 20 through to send the infor-
nation home. Previous to 1870 the
duty of the gatherer of war news was
easy compared to what it is at pre-
sent. Then one could stand on some
hill, watch the battle, decide how it

1870 d reform came over this method
Of doing the work. The system of
sending hv telegraph the full particu-
lars of fight came into use. The
dangers increased. With the use os
siege guns that fire a shot 10 miles,
and rifles that kill at two miles, it is
impossible for the war correspondent
20 stand out of danger and see how
The battle is doing. He must be in
the thick of the fight, and statistics
show that the percentage of cores
pondents killed is greater than the
percentage of soldiers killed. In the
recent terrible fighting in the Soudan,
out of 20 representatives of the press
who went with the forces, six lie buried
in shallow graves in those burning
deserts. The ideal war correspondent
must be a man who has. among other
things, the gift of tongues. He must
speak, in addition to the ordinary
European languages, some of the
Asiatic, including Afghanistan, aad2
some African, including Soudanese,
Ashantee, Abyssinian and Zulu. He

must tell how it is going. and what

tower have crumbled to dust. Not
a vestige of the roof remains. The
lake where the fete vas held is, dry
and the moat is filled with the shat

luxuriance wherever it can find root.
The walls OF the %banqueting hall and
the tower where Queen Elizabeth
lodged are still standing. and to save
themfrom further ruin they have been
propped with iron rods. The court
yard, where once thejousts and games
were held, where brave knights tilted

The British and Egyptian Forces Storm Ms
Trenches.
A dispatch from Suakim says the com
bined forces OF the British and Egyp
tians have made an attack upon the
rebel position. They stormed the re
doubts and trenches, and after nm en-
gagement lasting half an hour drove
the enemy into the bush. The British
force lost four men killed and two
wounded. The Egyptian and black
forces stormed the trenches and carried
them, losing two men killed and thirty
wounded. The only officers wounded
in the attacking force we're two Egyp-
tians. The rebel loss is stated to have
been 400.
Before dawn this morning the British
m~an-of-war Startling and an Egyptian
steamer moved rp the coast with orders
to cover the rebels at Handoub. At
daybreak the forts opened fire upon the
rebel trenches and the troops advanced
to the attack, the black brigade upon
the right flank and the cavalry and
mounted infantry covering. The Scot
fish Borderers, the Welsh regiment and
the Egyptian brigade occupied the en-
bankment between the forts, the Brit
ish infantry being held in reserve. The
forts shelled the trenches, keeping up q
terrific firing. The enemy held their
ground with courage until the black
brigade charged the trenches, which
fell after n half hours hard fighting.
The rebels fought with fanatical bravery.
Two of the enemy's guns were captured.
The Scotch Borderers are now at work
entrenching the rebel position. The
enemy are r~etreating toward Hasheen

bered 4 1000 men.
The feature of the fighting was the de-
termined rush upon the trenches by the
blacks and Egyptians. The Dervishes
fought with the utmost bravery, a great
many of them dying in the trenches.
The charge OF the Hussars is also spec
tally mentioned. When the Dervish
cavalry saw them coming they dis
mounted from their horses and planted
their spears in the ground, but these
proved no obstruction to the Hussars,
who swept down upon the Dervish horse
men like an avalanche, cut through the
ranks, and left half of them dead on the
ground. The Hussars then reformed
and charged the remaining Dervishes,
