as possible. -Four miles of rail have been
already laid, and the track will be com
pleted along the course laid down in 1884,
in order to pass the cataracts. For the
guarding of the railway, strong posts
have been established on the Nile at Sem
neh, Wady Ambigel, Tangur and Sonki.
Each of these posts has been supplied
with a contingent to guard the point oppo-
site to it on the line as it is laid, in order
to prevent the dervishes from destroying
the works. The dervishes at Suarda, who
number 1900, have advanced their posts
to Mograkeh, distant fifteen miles from
Akasheh, the main body of the dervishes
still remaining at Dongola
The moral effect of the announcement
of the expedition has been excellent in the
Soudan and has been of the utmost SER
vice to the Italians at Kassala. News
paper correspondents are at present pre-
vented from going beyond Sarras. The
opinion is held at Egyptian headquarters
that commissariat difficulties will prevent
the dervishes from making any formidable
advance north of Suarda.

FARM WORK PROGRESSING.
Weekly Reports of the Weather Bu-
reau Covering Crop Prospects.

The Weather Bureau in summing up
the situation in weather and crop circles,
says that in the Southern States the week
has been generally favorable for farm
work, which has made good progress. In
the more Northern districts, owing to the
lateness of the season, farming operations
are much delayed. but are being pushed
forward as rapidly as possible Cotton
planting is now quite general in the north
ern portion of the cotton belt, is well ad-
vanced in the southern portion, and the
early planted is coming up. In Florida,
it is nearly finished. Winter wheat is re-
ported in excellent condition in Nebraska
and eastern Kansas and much improved
and looking well in Iowa, Missouri, Ar
kansas, Tennessee and northern Illinois.
Less favorable reports are received from
Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, West Vir-
gina. Virginia. Maryland. Pennsylvania
and New York. in some of which States
it has been winter killed and is in poor
condition. No corn has yet been planted
north of the Ohio river. but some planting
has been done as far north as Kentucky
and Virginia. West of the Mississippi
some corn has been planted as far north
as southern Nebraska. Planting is nearly
completed in Oklahoma, and is in progress
in Missouri. In Illinois and Indiana plow-
ing for corn is general. In the Southern
States corn planting is practically COM

for having accepted the invitation OF

"Sh-h-h-h-h," said the people, and Mr..

"Why don't you let the speaker answer

"Mr. Chairman, why don't you"
The whereas" seemed to have it and
the resolution, which advised all the work
ingmen to read Mr.. Carlisle's speech and
voted him unlimited thanks, was read, al
though for the rising din ii might as well
have been Weyler's proclamation. The
groups of silver men, who were intent
upon asking the question, were noisy and
belligerent. But two policemen had Col.
Roberts in their eyes, and found him and
conducted the Populist to the rear.
Chairman Carroll finally managed to
put the resolution of thanks to a vote.

crowd, too, was moving homeward.

This called forth a vigorous response.
"Hurrah for John G. Carlisle" shouted

was plainly "gold."
BY this time the police had circulated
their rotund ferns quite thoroughly and
the belligerents were quieted.
The question which they wanted to ask
and for which Col Roberts rose, related
to Carlisle's speech in 1873, when he pro
nounced the demonetization Of silver "tht
most gigantic crime Of this or any othel
age" which would ultimately entail more
. misery upon the human race than all the
: wars, pestilence and famine that ever oc
Cured in the history Of the world"
The silverites had fun earlier in tn,
evening by distributing the following trib
ute to Mr.. Carlisle, until the police stop
ped them:
