For many days we were busy with the
mounting of the telescope. An obser-
vatory had already been built upon the
hilltop; that too was the labor of years,
but it was the work of many willing
hands and now al was in readiness. It's
mode Of construction was unusual, like
everything else in this extraordinary
place: the lower portion was eXcayated,
in the rock, and was connected by sub
terranean passages with the chamber
which held the lens; but it was dOmed
with massive masonry. and the exterior
carved with fantastic fretwork until it
resembled a half-buried mosque. With

ances, much of it being brought by his
caravans across the desert at great ex-

Establishments, and in some degree q
superstitious dread, preserved him from
incessant attacks on the part Of the IA
pacions BedOu.n.
Nor was he wholly dependent upon the
manufactures of Europe: in his own
valley he had established forges, fOun-
dries, and machine shops from which
his traineS and jealous servants were
able to turn out work of surprising ex-
cellence. Here had been prepared the
enormous metal tube of the telescope.
It was nearly one hundred feet in
length. and of such aperture that a
horsemen might easily have galloped
through it: and so vast was It's weight
that if it had not been made in sec
tons it never could have been con-
veyed to its place. It was poised upon
g pedestal chiseled from the bed rock

no less than the solid framework OF
the earth; and SO perfect was the pom

from the trusts and combines and gold
brokers? If from the latter, which it
certainly Is, isn't it reasonable to sup
pose that if Mckinley is elected the
debt will be discharged, not out of the
pocket Of the beneficiary, but from the
public purse and the pockets Of the
people? American politics have SO de-

said that the highest Office in the gift

DO Reconauer dc soudan.

LONDON, March 15.-That a British
advance on the Nile from Wada- Halfa
to DongOla is to be made there is no
doubt. All the British officers of the
Egyptian army who have been absent
on leave have been ordered to return
to their posts Immediately.
The real reason for the campaign
now being prepared at the British war
Office may be found in the fact that
Egypt will never be secure from at
tack and disaster so long as The Mahdi's
powerremains uushattered. Although
relief of Cassala may be the outward
cause of the British advance, the pos
session OF the fertile regions about
DongoIa, which furnish a wealth of
supplies TO The Khalifa, is what Great
Britain is really after, and there is
little doubt that an attempt to capture
the Mahdi stronghold, Omdurman, will
follow.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The feeling
among congressman at the capitol over
the report that the president and Lord
Salisbury viii come to an agreement on
the Venezuelan question without the
Intervention or aid of the Venezuelan
commission is that the commission be
allowed to complete its work, regard
less of any understanding that may be
reached through diplomatic channels.
Should the report prove true a resolu-
ton may be introduced instructing the
commission to perform the duties for
which it was created, in order that the
result may constitute a precedent for
guidance in future complications which
may arise.
A separate settlement, it is thought,
would affect questions of this character
which might come up on the interna-
tiOnal tapis hereafter, whereas q deci-
sion rendered through the commission
would have the potentially Of a judi
cial precedent in similar cases.

WASHINGTON, March 14-Hugh Cam
eron Of Lawrence, Kan, by proxy held
the senate's interest yesterday after
noon with a degree of appreciation and
amusement not often exhibited. Sena-
tor PETER presetated a petition from
Mr. Cameron and although the rules Of
the senate require that such matters
shall be read by title only, this petition
excited an interest which could be sa-
tiated only by reading in extenso. The
petition runs:
To the Congress OF the United States Of Amer
lea; Your petitioner, the undersigned, tt aspect
fully asks your honorable bodies to make the
9Th of april a national holiday. 1t being the day
on which the King Of the Jews, whom Pontius
Plate caused to be cTucifed April s. A. D., 80,
! achieved his splendid victory over the grave.
This King of the Jews has always been true
friend OF the United States Of America. He was
with Washington and his eOmpatriots during
their great struggle for independence, and was
also with the union forces through the entire
war to maintain that independence with union
and liberty, Your petitioner has an abiding
| faith that your honorable bodies viii cheeTfully
grant his request, as we'll on your own account
as that of the multitude of his faithful followers
comprising all the industrious poor people
/ Gods chosen people,, many of whom are now
prayerfully waiting for the coming Of said King,
which, it is claimed, will be to the United States
of America.
UnquestiOnably this King has done more to
establish and maintain free government on this
continent and to make the United States Of
America respectable nation than any other
/ king; and so VIC as individuals and as q nation
ought not to be ashamed with frankness and
alacrity to acknowledge that we owe Him a debt
of gratitude which we viii never be able fully to
liquidate
For all these and many other obvious reasons,
the undersigned hopes that your honorable
bodies viii, without delay, mako resurrection

tinuually pray. Respectfully,
