CAIRO, March 15.-The Egyptian
council yesterday stated that Lord
Cromar, the British agent, had an
nounced that thousand British
troops. drafted at European stations,
were coming here directly to take part
in the advance upon Dongola.
1t is reported that France, as a
guaranteeing power to Egyptian bond
holders, will refuse her consent to the
cost of the campaign, which is esti-
mated al f2,00O.0Oo, being charged to
the Egyptian budget. In support of
this decision it is alleged from French
sources that no movement exists in the
Soudan warranting such a campaign,

Abdullah has lost all his authority and
has withdrawn his loyal adherentS

The proposed Soudan expedition of the
British exc.tes a vast deal of attention
and comment in political circles and in
the press here. The German newspapers
in commenting upon the proposed Egypt
ian advance to Dongola, still show an
intense hatred for England.
The National Zeitung scornS the idea
that she will do anything to help Italy
in the straits into which that unfortun-
ate power has come in Africa, and hints
that England will acquire Cassala as a
result of the campaign.
Most of the newspapers here regard
the Dongola movement as a clever move
on England's part to silence clamor on
the Egyptian question and to offer an
answer to France and all those who press
her evacuation of Egypt for years to
come. The Vossiche Zeitung thinks that
nobody is better fitted for the task of
the conquest of the Soudan than Eng

How the Country'S servants Will
Endeavor to Pint in Week.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The in
dications are that the Cuban question
and the Dupont election case will con-
tinue to claim the greater attention of
the senate during the present week.
though other matters undoubtedly will
be considered at different times. An
agreement was reached two weeks ago,
before the Dupont case was taken up,
that the bill for the settlement of the
accounts between the United States
and the state of Arkansas should be
made the unfinished business for to-
morrow. If this agreement is OBJ
served, it will, for the time at least,
DISPLACE THE DUPONT DEBATE.
There is also an understanding that
in case it is made apparent that the
Cuban matter can be speedily disposed
of the managers for Mr.. Dupont will
not stand in the way.
Senator Sherman is exceedingly de-
sirouS of getting the Cuban resoiu-
tons out of the way at the earliest
practicable time, and will press con-
sideration. The senators who are OPP
posing the resolutions are, however,
not inclined to fall in with this design,
and there is now no prospect OF an I'M
mediate vote on the conference report.
1t is intimaSed that the president is
likely to send a message to the senate
on the Cuban question in response to
Senator Hoar's resolution of inquiry.
and if he should do SO it unquestion-
ably will have influence either in
ExPEDIT1NG OR RETARDING
final consideration of the Question in

Senator Lodge will be heard tomor-
row on the immigration bill and Sen
ators Pugh on tariff and silver. Sen
ator Morgan probably will make the
next speech on the Cuban question il
reply to Senators Hale, Hill and Hoar,
and Senator Chandler will lead off the
debate in the Dupont case when it's
consideration is resumed.

Senator Bronston came into the gov

debarred from the state house, who
was the peace officer of the state, and
why the militia had been ordered out.
He then told the governor he could
see affidaVits that would be fled in
the senate tomorrow. This evidently
referred to an effort to impeach Gov
ernor Bradley by the senate, which
has been threatened all day. The eX-
element in the city is great and the
streets are full of people. No little
apprehension is felt. Six hundred
armed soldiers will be here in the
morning and it is hoped that they will
be able TO preserve peace.

ST. PAUL, March 15.-Patrick H
Kelly. we'll known Democratic politician
and merchant, has filed an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors to John F.
Meagher, of Mankato. Mimi. who will
qualify in a bond for the amount oil
$500, 600 which gives some idea. of the size
of the failure AS no schedules have yet
been prepared, and no figures are given
out, this is the only means of knowing
the size of the failure.
The assignment is peculiar one, ac-
cording to the story of Mr.. Kelly's at
torney, which is that there is no need fol
any failure. as far as financial difficulties
are concerned, but the assignment has
been made to close up the estate more
easily in case Mr.. Kelly should not
recover from the severe attacks of pneu-
monia which have confined him to his
rooms for some days. The papers were
filed Saturday afternoon but the fact did
not become public until today.
Mr.. KellyS private estate is estimated
at being worth from 100000 to $500, 600
but no accurate statement can be given
His attorney says his assets exceed the
liabilities. 1t is stated that the P. H
Kelly Mercantile company will tomorrow
assign to W. 3. Jordan, of Miles City, for
the same reason that caused the assign
ment of Mr.. Kelly.
The mercantile company is rated at half
a million do lars and its credit IS the high
est. Business will go on as usual, and
will in no way be interefered with by the
assignment.
Mr.. Patrick H. Kelly is one of the most
prominent men in the northwest where
he has held front rank among merchants
and politicians many years. His whole
sale grocery house II this city is one
of the best known concerns in the coun-

been a Democrat, and with Michael
Doran, the national committeeman from
Minnesota, has been considered the poll
teal boss of Minnesota for nearly ten
years. Both are warm friends of the
president.
