Commercial Agent Moore at Weimar.
He says that on March IA, the economic
committee OF the imperial reichstsg
decided to bring in the following resolu-
ton:
THE reichstag shall declare interps-
tioDal bimetaihsm best answers the in
tereets of Germany and request the con-
federate governments to TO do all 10
their power in order to establish and
secure bi-lnterpationaI convention and
fixed proportion of value between gold
and silver"
Mr.. Moore explains this economic
committee is not a branch OF the regu-
lar organization of the imperial reich
stag. but self constructed committee
With permanent organization composed
largely Ut the sarsgarian party, in those
ranks bimetallism finds it's support in
Germany. 1t is known, says Mr. Moore,
q corresponding proposition will be SUBJ
mitted simultaneously il Paris and
London. This movement has created
great attention afresh in Europe to the
monetary situation.
CAIRO, April 9-Each additional bud
get of news from the front increases the
anxiety in unofficial circles as to the
tate of the vanguard of the Anglo
Egyt tian forces operating up the Nile,
preliminary to an advance in force upon
Dongola, for which troops are being
rapidly concentrated at Waddy Rslfa.
While the British interior depart
ment experiences the greatest difficult
ty in obtaining information regarding
the movement of the Dsrvishes, the
latter apparently having spies in all
quarters, succeed in transmitting im-
portant news with lightning like rapid
ity from one part of the country to the
other. Thus, in some mysterious man
nee, news of Analo-Egyptian advance
has been communicated to the most
distant quarter of the Mohammsdan
world and the departure of pilgrims for
Mecca has been suspended, which means
Khalifia is calling upon his warriors to
muster to the standard and the holy
war which he rscertly proclaimed
against Egypt is to be Iushed with ell
the desperate energy OF the Dervish
leaders.
The khalifia writing to the Shelk of
Asscun in Decem Der last, said be was
always ready to submit to the authority
of the Khedive OF Egypt, as represen-
tative of the Sultan, but hs would re-
sist to the death any expedition com
ing from Egypt so lo0g as the British
occupy the country. The Kbalifis con-
cluded: II sm aware the Brltlsb de-
sire to have me assassineted, but / have
taken precautions that none of the
European prisoners shall survive my
murder"
The British troops which will tske
part 10 the advance on Goudo!a, will,
It is expected, number about 5000 men,
and in addition there will De about
1900 ERy ptian troops led by trained
British officers. Some prophets cay the
advance on DoERols will be commenced
when 900 men are concentrated at
Akasheb. but if this is the case, accord
ing to the general belief here, there
will be another terrible disaster similar
to that OF 1883, when Hicks Pasba sno
about 11,OO0 Egyptian troS ps were
driven into detile, attacked ey over
whelming mum ers and massacred.
