DULACH CONDEMNED.
Marine Men Do Not Believe the

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Much Indignation

over the sensational charges of drunk

schooner Waukesha, against Captain
Duncan Corbett. Franklin II. Head.

he had known Captain Corbett for 20
years, and during most of the time he

Other vessel men expressed similar
sentiments, and the feeling became so
intense that an effort was made to
start proceedings against Dulach for
mutiny, but as all the witnesses are
dead the matter was dropped.

Cum minis, of Iowa, VIII BE Satisfied
with the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

DIES MONIES. Ia, Nov 9.-The name
of A. B. Cummins of this city has been
mentioned in Chicago newspapers in
connection with a place in AIc-KinIey's
cabinet The position of secretary of
war has been most spoken of, but it
develops that this is not the place 10
which Mr.. Cummins aspires. From close
friends of Mr. Cummins, who is Iowa's
member of the national committee il is
learned that during the campaign he has
been much talked of by campaign lead
ers in connection with the attorney-gen-
eralship. 1t has been commonly con-
ceded that Iowa, was likely to secure a
representation IN the next cabinet and
Senator Allison has been generally
looked upon as a probable secretary of
the treasury In case he does not de-
sire that place, it is understood Mr.
Cummins will be pushed for the position
of attorney general Il is also stated in
this connection that Senator Allison will
not be a candidate for a cabinet posi-
ton. Mr.. Cummins is a lawyer of fine
leader in the party IN Iowa.

Compliments of the Season.

Those who profess to read the stars
predicted that 1896 would be a tough
year. Each must decide in his own
mind whether the prophecy is being
verified
We have entered ON the second quar-
ter of the year. March left us, lamented
by none. He was great month, was
March. He gave US such weather as
threw the almanacs into Mysteries. He
was great, but little Of him went a
long way. We were glad to excuse him
for year.
April entered in with its stupid All
FOOLS day jokes, jokes so stale and bar
rem that the day is rightly named,
though the fools are not the ones on
whom the pranks are played, but those
who play them. Beautiful Easter, with
its big hats and bigger milliner bills,
follows. We observe that new Easter
custom has been sprung upon us. 1t is
one which is enough to make us groan
in spirit. In brief, it is Easter gifts.
And some of us have not got over Christ
mas yet. Pretty and inexpensive Eas-
ter cards Of remembrance are well
enough, but there let the custom stop.
1t is the rare and wonderful growing
season. Nature is young and blithe and
happy and handsome. Let us all be SO
too. Let us instill into our weary souls
the glad influence of new life and hope
and sunshine. Let us be young and
happy and beautiful, with the rest Of
all nature at this lovely season.

An 'ere's TO you, Fuzzy Wuzzy, with your

You big, black boundin beggar, for you bruk
British square.
1t is the same Osman Digna who is
again in the saddle. He has a romantic
history, has this doughty chieftain-that
is, if it's all true. Here is the story any
way: DIR. Schweinfurth, the celebrated
Sudanese traveller, is said to vouch for it
that Osman is no Mahdist at all, but q
native Of France. His name was George
Nisbett, and his father was a bankrupt
trader who died in Cairo leaving his
widow and her son almost penniless.
Nine. Nisbett married a Mohammedan
merchant of Alexandria named Osman
Digna, who took a great fancy to the
boy, gave him his own name and had
him educated at q military school in
Cairo On the death of his stepfather
Osman inherited his great wealth, and
when the Sudanese rose in rebellion to
throw off the Egyptian yoke under the
leadership of Arab Pasha, who had been
a schoolmate of Osman's, he joined the
rebel leader. His great wealth and his
military skill made him so powerful
that he was elected chief by the sheiks
of eastern Sudan. The first Mahdi and
his present successor have both shown
him great consideration.
Osman Digna is in appearance typ

stature, with eyes Of piercing blackness
and an immense beard. He has lost his

ably Lead Tommy Atkins Another Live

Osman Digna is coming The cry sent
thrill of fear through all the north
eastern part of Africa, and in half a
dozen capitals of Europe it was heard
with alarm. In Rome, in Paris, in Ber-
lin and in London the name of Osman
Digna was whispered in secret cabinet
councils In Cairo the young khedive of
Egypt heard the ominous warning with
shudder and felt much the same con-
sternation that he knew was spreading
through the ranks of his army.
Yet Osman Digna is no tabled mon
ster. He is a plain man whose most
striking popularity is that he would
rather miss his meals for week than
lose the chance of indulging in first
class fight He is the commander in chief
Of the army of Abdullah, the caliph
or ruler of the Mahdists and all the
fierce tribes of the Sudan. These Nah
dsts have been rather quiet for the last
few years, but the caliph has evident
ly had his eyes and ears open, and when
he heard of the recent defeat of the Ital-
ian troops in Abyssinia, which adjoins
his domains on the east, he made up his
mind that he ought to have little fun
with them himself. So he sent out word
through the desert, collected big force
Of trlbesmen, put his trusted bench
man, Osman Digna, at their head and
sent them off toward Kassala, where the
Italian forces had retreated after their
rough handling by King Menelek; hence
the disturbance Of the peace in the Eu-
ropean capitals.
There is good cause for the fear which
Osman Digna creates too. He has been
in the fighting business for a good many
years, and, although not always victori-
Gus, he has been found to be tough
customer. The Mahdists whom he leads
are probably the greatest fighters that
ever existed. In the first place, they are
fatalists to a man. They believe that
they will not die until the appointed
time comes, and that when it does there
is no lodging their fate. There is no
such thing as soaring them.
The English, who seldom hesitate to
make war upon a barbarous or semi
civilized nation, have been quite satisfied
to let the Mahdists alone for dozen
years, although all the time longing to
