Thus, in some mysterious manner the
news of the Anglo-Egyptian advance

distant quarters of the Mohammedan
world, and the departure OF pilgrims
for Mecca has been suspended, which
means that the Kha!ifa is calling upon
his warriors to muster to the standard,
and that the Juhad (holy war; which
he recently proclaimed against Egypt
is to be pushed with all the desperate
energy of the dervish leaders.

Cincinnati, April IA. - Judge + r
Stevens of st. Louis. chairman Of the
national executive committee of the
A. T. A.. passed through Cincinnati
To-Day on his way to Boston. Regard
ing the fight that the A. P. A. is max
ing against Mckinley, Judge Stevens
said: L noticed in the Cincinnati En-
qulrer this morning what purported to
be an interview with prominent men,
Ders OF the association which in gen
eral is correct, yet it is erroneous in
some particulars. 1t is true that the
a. p. A. will not give to Mai. Nc
klnley its support, either for the nom
nation or for the election in Novem-
Der should he be nominated. His rec
ord is such that no A p. A. member
who is true to his principles, and who
has not been weaned away from the
association by promises of office, can
support it. Mr.. Mckinley has never
recognized this organization"
Judge Stevens then enumerateS
various grievances against Mckinley,
among them the neglect of McKinlcy's
managers to grant an A. p. A. COM
mittee an audience in Washington on
the 25th TO the Both of last March,
s d1Att tliC 1dSI IAltIG A1C1AlA1eS, AllIlScIl,
left unanswered kilograms sent by the
committee to him. Judge Stevens
then says: I'VE shall fight him in
convention, and if he is nominated he
cannot be elected"
He says the committee was not I'M
friendly to Mckinley when it met In
this respect. the committee differed
from President Traynor, editor of the
Detroit American. On the other hand
McKinleySs rivals granted the commit
tee an audience on the first offer
whereas Mckinley and his managers
refused requests for an audience
though the opportunity was given for
two consecutive weeks by committees
in Washington and New York. This
meeting in New York was after a Spe-
cial committee had been sent in vain
to interview Mckinley in Ohio. Judge
Stevens says Hon. w. A. Linton is the
A. T. A. candidate.
In conclusion he says: you may
say for us that we are against McIhin-
ley to the last We shall support only
a positive, self-aSsertive man, who is
no straddler on any issue and is q
man of more than one idea. From the
knowledge possess of our strength, /
know that the A. 2. A. holds the bal
ance Of power and Mr.. Mckinley can
not be nominated"
