What II Has Done and What II is Likely 10

After a sharp engagement Saturday
Sept 10, the dervishes were defeated
by the Anglo Egyptian expedition and
Dongola was occupied by the English.
This city was the alleged objective
point of the campaign when Great Bri

preventing a further northward move

Among the other reasons given for the
advance up the Nile was England's
friendliness for Italy, but this does not
appear now that Italy gives up Ably
ssinia, Great Britain, 1T is predicted,
will not rest until she controls a rail-
road line from Egypt to her possessions
in South Africa, and it is TO lay the
first part of this road that the present
campaign is undertaken But Germany
is actively working against her In South
Africa. and Russia and France are Wig
orously intriguing against her in the
north and east.
The London Times said on June %:
The main and ultimate object is now
avowed to be the capture of khartoum
and the conquest of the Soudan. All
England admits it. As a matter of
fact, the Mahdists had not threatened
Europe this year. Osman Digna had
advanced eastward upon the Italian
| outpost at kassala. but there had been
no dervish raid upon any part of the
Egyptian frontier. In nutshell. the
movement was started as a diversion
in favor of Italy. which was being
whipped by Abyssinia in the south and
menaced by the dervishes in the west.

Lewiston Journal: There may be
six Democrats in the Maine House
of Representatives. 1t is said that
a protest will be entered against
the seating of Hon. George A. Murch-
lie, lately elected representative for
the city of Calais, on the ground
that Mr. Murchie has not been citi-
zen long enough to be eligible for that
office. Under the constitution of Maine
Il person to he entitled to seat in the
House of Representatives, must have
been a citizen for over five years. 1t is
claimed that Mr.. Murchie has not been
naturaliZed more than four years. and
therefore is not eligible for the office of
representative. In case this is true.
Calais will be represented by Il Demo-
crat for the first time in great many
years, as the person receiving the high
est number of votes next to Mr.. Murch-
lie takes the seat. Whatever the techni-
cal conditions of his case may be. Calais
prizes Mayor Murchie as one of her
best citizens"
