THE BRITISH war IN INDIA
Brilliant March by Captains
Kelly's Troops.
DRAGGING GUNS IN DEEP SNOW
Two English Officers Trapped
and Slain.


CALCUTTA, April ia dispatch from
Simla, dated noon to-day. says that Col.
Kelly, the commander of the British
forces which have been attempting to
reach Chitral from Gilgit since March
18th. has succeeded in crossing the Shader
Pass and was about 90 miles from Chitral
on April It'll.
The march of the troops was a most
arduous and brilliant military exploit.
The pass is 1900 feet high and is i'm
passable to beasts OF burden. Consc-
quently, the pioneers had to carry the
field and mountain guns during the last
seven miles of the route, through deep
snow and with the weather intensely cold.
The troops suffered in many cases from
frost bites.
When these advices were forwarded to
Simla the enemy was in position 20 miles
distant from the force commanded by
Colonel Kelly and an engagement was ex-
pected.
1t is learned that LieutenantS Fowler
and Edwards. the two officers belonging
to tho British garrison ut Chitral, who
have been reported missing for some time
past, were invited to polo match at
Reshun, where they were treacherously
seized and their escort, consisting OF ~
Bengal Sappers, wasIovercome by superior
numbers and slain.
Another report says that Lieutenant
Fowler was killed by foster brother of
Amir. Ul-MullS, the present ruler of Chitral,
who assumed the rank of Mehtar after
having murdered his elder brother, Nizam-
Ul-Mulk. the late Mehtar of Chitral.
Another dispatch from Simla says that
the fastest news from the front points
strongly to the collapse of the power Of
Ultra Kahn. 1t is added that the fanatica
gatherings, upon whose help he counted
and who have hitherto offered the inost
serious resistance to the British forces, are
now dispensing.

SAN Francisco, CAL, April 16.--The

motive for the murder of the Misses

geon says medical works abound with
cases of a man whose animal passions
could not be aroused without the sight OF

this class of human tigers. The crimes
with which he is charged seem to be the
act OF man with such bloody instincts
and the post mortetn examination proves
that the victims were killed and after

theory is now that Durant had Just finish

WASHINGTON. April lj.-The letter OF
the President, addressed to certain citizens
5f chicago Oh free silver and sound money
was generally discussed to-day, and re.
ceived warm coinmen lation from men of
both political parties who advocate sound
money and the maintenance of the parity
OF the national currency. While there Is
no utleFance OF partisan character in the
Presidents letter, IL is regarded as O chal-
lenge to those Democratic leaders who nd.
vocate free silver coinage, and particularly
Those who are striving to commit the
Democracy of Illinois. through regularly
chosen convention of the party, to
declaration in favor of free and unlimited
silver coinage
The Illinois movement will be vigilantly
watched by those who have an interest in
the determination of thecurrency question.
The indications are that q STUBBORN and
the control of the convention by both
parties TO the controversy. The Presidents
letter will be of material service to the
sound money men Of Illinois in the pend
ing contest, and will be equally encourag.
Ing To that class of Democrats throughout
the country. The hope is INDUCED that
the sound money Democrats of Chicago,
whose representation in the convention
will be equal to one.third of its entire
Ing u strong delegation, who, with the aid
OF other delegates from various sections of
the State who are against declaration for
free silver, will be able to defeat the scheme
of Governor Altgeld and those who are CO.
operating with him in this matter.
Ex-Representntiv Gable. who is now
here, IL emphatic in opposition to the free
silver movement and is inclined to believe
that the free silver men will be defeated in
their aims TO control the convention, Ii
the Cook county men stand firm against
the free silver folly it is probable the more
conservative among the delegates from the
southern sections of the state will hesitate
long before joining movement which
will inevitably disrupt the Democracy OF
Illinois, and will be induced 10 join the
sound money men in declaring for bi.
metallism through the medium Of an in
ternatiunal conference.
The letter of the President is an unmis.
taxable indication that the administration
will exert its influence in every proper
manner to stem the current that has lately
set in towards free coinage. 1t is under
stood Secretary Carlisle will deliver several
speeches OH the currency. within short
time, IN Western cities. He will probably
deliver two or three speeches before the
time fixed for the assembling Of the ILL
nois convention, speaking at Louisville,
KY, dnd at Nashville or Memphis, Tenn.
1t is also probable Secretary Morton will
be heard OH the currency question before
the LIST of June, The friends of sound
money in both parties are beginning to
realize that an aggressive movement must
be commenced and vigorously prosecuted
without delay, if the free silver tide is to
he successfully checked.
