DONGOLA-ON-THE, NILE, Sept. 24.-An
inspection of the dervish d~efences at this
place shows that they were constructed With
great skill, that the positions were well
chosen and that If they had been held by
resolute men they would have caused an
immense amount of trouble and loss to the
Anglo-Egyptian expedition. About 800 der
wish prisoners were captured in addition to
a large quantity of arms of all kinds, dates
sufficient to support an enormous fighting
force for n long time, great quantities of
grain and large supplies of cattle and sheen.
The honors of the lighting fell to the gun
boats and the artillery, whose shells reached
the fleeing enemy far out in the desert.
Deserters from the dervish forces continue
to arrive here, as they are all anxious to
serve under the Egyptian flag. The work
Of perfecting the chain of depots ana forts

REcoNsrcNING AT KANSAS CITY.


New InNestiEpttnS on tue RAW.
KANSAS CITY, Sept. 24.-The Interstate
Commerce commission convened here today
and continued its investigation into the
rcconsignment of Atlantic seaboard ship
ments now in vogue in Kansas City, with a
view to determining whether it is legal and
carried on in good faith by the railroads.
Local grain men assert that the whole
trouble is simply the outgrowth of an en-
nifty of Omaha against Kansas City, en-
gendered by the fact that Kansas City is
an open market, while Omaha is not. The
commissioners came in this morning from
Chicago, where they have been inquiring
into the reconsignment business at that
point. The gathering of attorneys and rail
way men was a notable one. Several wit
nosses were examined. j. A. Munroe, freight
traffic manager of the Union Pacific, ex-
planned the reconsignmont method, and en-
phatically denied any discrimination in the
matter of rates or preferences to any con-
signor or consignee. He denied that his
road had anything to do with Omaha not
bCtnE an open market.
The most important testimony of the day
was given by Frederick Maegley, who il
in charge Of the Joint transit inspection
bureau at this point and whose testimony
WAS in direct contradiction Of the evidence
given in Chicago on August 4 by come or
the general traffic managers of the western
lines. They testified on that occasion that
they had stopped all reconsigning of grain
from Kansas City at the balance of the
through rate, Mr.. Maegley testified tina,
the practice had not been stopped, and that
several of the roads were continuing the old
practice In a new way. he mentioned the
Santa Fe, the Rock Island and the Mis-
souri, Pacific Commissioners Knapp and
Morrison expressed great surprise at this
testimony that the practice was being con-
tinued.

Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Susquehanna, Oct. 6.-From over in
Franklin township, this county, there
comes the o'ertOO-true tale of a Won
derful find. There Is said to be in that
romantic section a certain ditch about
eight rods long, dug in a Zig-zag fash
ion by the untutOred and unwaShed IN
dians. This ditch was filled up, some
thing like century ago, and the owner
refuses to sell it on account of the sup
posed treasure buried there. 1t is said
that compass will not work when
placed over the spot, so great is the
counter attraction. The needle will
tremble and radiate. but not do it's ac-
custOmed work. The owner will begin
prospecting at once. and he believes
there is millions in It," The Great
Bend Plaindealer. which is quite apt to
suggest something apt, has an idea
that the trench may contain several
millions of 53-cent silver dollars in
crude form, and suggests that the PO-
pocrats go digging to secure funds with
which to carry on the campaign of
education" Moreover. a mineral spring
has also been discovered near the spot.
1t is covered by a large, flat stone. and
has a foreign odor, not unlike South
Gibson apple-jack or other liquid with
known curative qualities. A silver
mine and an apple jack spring discOv-
cred in old Susquehanna county In one
week! "Hullygee," what a county!
ASLEEP TEN YEARS.
Michael Fernan, of Elmira. who has
Susquehanna relatives, has been de-
clared insane by medical commission,
and an order has been granted by the
court of Chemung county committing
him to the state asylum for the insane,
in Binghamton. Until a year or 50, Mr..
Fernan has been for a quarter of a
century resident of FactOryville,
where he was watchman of the Della
ware. Lackawanna and Western tunnel
and a small farmer. For ten years he
has been asleep and practically dead to
the world. In all these years he has
never spoken. His wife and several
children have died since his attack, but
he has never, by word or act, shown
that he is conscious of the fact His ap-
petite has been excellent. At differ
ent times during HIS strange and pro-
longed sleep specialists have examined
him, but none of them have been able
to assign cause for the malady or
to prescribe q cure.
