expedition occupied Kerma this morning
and Is now only 80 miles from Dongola
At p. m. the news reached the expedi-
ton that the pervishes, alarmed at The
size of the column, had deserted the po-
sition in front of the army. A party of
seven Dervishes crossed the river at Z
o'clock and the artillery. commanded by
Young. opened fire against the west
hank. where the Dervishes were in force
with camel foot, cavalry, armed sail
ing boats and one armed steamer The
fire was excellently aimed and compelled
them to leave their positions and their
boats.
In the meantime three of the Anglo
Egyptian gunboats hove in sight steam.

inns. The Dervishes replied with the
fire of two seven-pounders. one of when
was quickly silenced by the Anglo Egyp-
tan batteries. Commander Colville of
the British navy on the river gunboat
Tamai. pressed forward and was sud-
denly subjected to very hot fire from
Iif1emer hidden in pits. Commander
Colville received slight wound in mis-
wrist. and retired slowly out of the
enemys range in order to use his maxim
guns with more effect, which he subse.
quently did. The Anglo Egyptian side
OIL the river was then engaged, few
companies opening fire, and as they did
so field battery of the British artil-
!ery, which had taken up a suitable posi-
ton further north, followed. Both Of
the Anglo Egyptian batteries directed
their fire on the enemy's fort where
a second of their seven-pounders had
been placed. Three successive shells
from Young's battery fell right inside
of the fort. The Dervish loss must have
been considerable.
While covered by an attack on the
Dervish fertilization, the Anglo Egyp-
tan gunboats and steamers moved
steadily past These boats are now
steaming as fast as possible in the di-
rection of Dongola. The loss of the

How Famous Authors Wrote.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Aristotle awoke early and worked until
he slept
Boussuet composed his grand sermons
on his knees.
Bulwer wrote his first novels while
attired in full dress.
Tasso wrote his finest pieces in the
lucid intervals of madness.
Caesar composed his famous Com
mentariesn il is said, on horseback
Bacon knelt down before COMPOSING
his great work, and prayed for ligh,
from heaven
Luther, when studying, always had his
dog at his feet, and an ivory crucihx ors
the table before him.
La Fontaine wrote his Fables" chief
~ under the shade of tree, and some
times by the side of Racine and BOileau.
CameOns composed his verses With the
roar of battle in his ears, for the Portu~
gUese poet was a soldier, and a brave
one.
Voltaire was most impatient writer,
and usually had the first half of a WORK
set up in type before the second half
was written.
Pope never could compose well without
first declaiming for some time at the top Of
his voice and thus rousing his nervous
system to its fullest activity.
Calvin studied in his bed. Every morn
ing at or o'clock he had books, manu-
scripts and papers carried to him there,
and heiworked on for hours together.
