STRUGGLE OF THE sOUDAN.
Troops TO BE Sent to Suakim to At
tack Osman DfGna.

London, April 4.-The appeal Of France
and Russia to the Egyptian mixed tri-
bunal against the decision of a majority
of the Egyptian debt commission to grant
100000 for the expenses OF the Soudan
expedition has been summarily disposed
of my majority of the members of the
tribunal declining to admit that the tri-
Dunal has any jurisdiction in the matter.
The Egyptian treasury has paid the
whole Of the first draft of 100000, most
OF which has already been expended.
Another 10000 VIII soon be required
NJ. Bourgeois, the French prime minis
Ter, IS continuing his negotiations with
Lord Salisbury, trying to get pledges linn
iting the demands that will be made on
the Egyptian treasury, and is also trying
to get information as to the plans of the
campaign in the SOudan.
The Pail Mall Gazette to-day asserts
that an agreement between France and
Great Britain on this question has been
already obtained. Doubtless Lord Sails
bury will readily give assurances of the
intention of the British government to
announced in parliament, tbat is to say
that the advance of the expedition would
depend on the resistance offered by
the dervishes. The reason for his not hes
1tating to give these assurances is that
he foresees that the time will come when
an advance of the MahdistS viii give an
opportune excuse for the enlargement Of
the scope of the war. Even now, accord
ing to the Spectator, the government con-
templates sending 10 Suakim, on the Red
sea, 10000 troops from India to break up
the forces of Osman Digna and to threat
en- the rear of the dervishes who are 'front.'
ing the expedition that will proceed up the
Nile.
That the design to advance from Suakim
to Berber is entertained is obvious from
the orders that have been issued for re-
survey to be made of that part Of the Ber-
Der railway that was constructed during
the last campaign and the dispatches of
plant to replace the material in that line
that is found to be useless.
The progress of the Nile expedition IS not
rapid. The main part of the expedition is
still at Assouan, from which place the
newspaper correspondents accompanying
the advance started only on Thursday with
the cavalry on the long march along the
east bank of the Nile. The maxim bate
ries and cavalry are being slowly trans
ported by steamers to Wady-Halfa, from
which place it will be impossible to make
a general advance before May.
The rumors that dervishes are assem-
bling before Suarda are unreliable. Col.
Hunter, who is now in command of the
forces at Akosheh in telegraphing yester-
day to Sir Herbert Kitchener, the sirdar of
the Egyptian army, regarding the scarcity
of fodder and supplies at Akasheh, made
no mention of the enemy.

CRISP TIRED OF THE DEBATE.
The EN-Speaker Not Anxious for Ad-
ditionaI Meetings.

Atlanta, Ca. April 4.-The continuation
OF the joint debates between Secretary
Smith and eX-Speaker Crisp is still an un-
settled matter. Ii now remains with Dr.
a. w. Calhoun to say whether the two
gentlemen shall keep the engagements
they have yet. He is the referee, so TO
speak. Both Mr.. Crisp and Secretary
Smith are under his treatment for sore
throat. The secretary. although he had
made up his mind to meet the Griffin en-
gagement at all hazard. is about as bad
on with his throat as Mr.. Crisp. Mr..
Crisp did not know this, however, when
he wrote to the secretary last night ask
ing Tor a postponement Of the meeting to-
day
Nothing was said about the condition
or the secretary's throat until to-day,
when he and Mr.. Crisp almost ran into
each others arms in the Office of DIR.
Calhoun. Both gentlemen express deep
regrets that the debates have been in
terrupted. They viii meet with DR.. Cal
noun tomorrow and decide whether the
discussions are to be proceeded with or
not.
There has been a good deal of gossip to-
day about the postponement of the Grif-
nm meeting at the request of Mr. Crisp,
ana some have unkindly limited that he
IS only too willing to have the debate cut
on by any pretext. But, as matter of
tact, this criticism does Mr.. Crisp an
injustice, for the condition of his throat
is very aggrevating. He was cir
culating about the hotel tonight
and when seen by the Morn
ing News correspondent, although
better than when seen last night, Just
after his note TO the secretary was writ
ten, he was barely able to talk above a
whisper.
While this is the fact with regard to
the present situation, Mr.. Crisp himself
told his audience here the other night
that he was tired OF the Joint discus
sion, and II his throat trouble finally
breaks off the present programme, he will
probably not be sorry for It. 1t was told
here to-day that Secretary Smith is so
deeply interested in the tilt with MIR
Crisp and so anxious to meet him All every
point where he is to speak that in the
heat or the engagement Thursday night
mere, ne was almost on the point Of an
nouncing his candidacy for the Senate 80
that MIR. Crisp could not refuse to cross
swords with him on the currency question

PEACE ENDANGERED BY POLITICS
Democrats Arrayed Against POpu-
lists and Republicans.

New Orleans. April A special to-
night to the Daily States from Opelousas,
ST. Landry parish, represents affairs
there as unchanged, but the tension be-
tween the white supremacy democrats
one the one side, and the populsts and re-
publicans on the other is strained almost
TO the point of breaking.
The mayor Of Opelousas is a populite
and the sheriff of St. Landry is a demo-
crat. The sheriff has requested Gov.
Foster to send a company Of militia to
St Landry to preserve the peace about
election day, April il. 1t is believed that
serious disturbances will accur at that
time.
Gov. Foster has not responded to the
request Attempts have been made and
failed to bring about settlement of all
the trouble by leaving the question OF
the parochial offices, which are the bone
of contention, to a white primary, but
the populsts and republicans declined

Washington, April 4.-The treasury gold
reserve, at the close of business to-day,
stood at S12S, ,229, ,346. The Withdrawals for
the day were S54,4OO.
The reported Withdrawals early next
week of $500O0O or $1,000000 gold for export
does not disturb treasury officials. Furth-,
er Withdrawals for export purposes are ex-
pected to follow, but not in such volume
as to deplete the treasury gold reserve to
any considerable extent, at least for the
present The treasury Is watching the
rate of interest closely and should the rate
fall next week, 1t is probable that 20 per
cent of the government money now In
United States repositories will be drawn
out for the purposes Of tightening the
money market and strengthening interest
sales. The effect of this Will be, 1t Is said,
to prevent or at least curtail gold exports.

Whitinsville, Mass. April Am exceed
ingly bold attempt was made between
and o'clock this morning to burglarize
the Whitinsville National Savings Bank,
located in the central part of the village.
Just after 1 o'clock Joseph Beauregard,
who is night watchman at the Whitins-
Vile Cotton mill, and the Whitinsville
Spinning Ring Company. as well as at the
bank, left the repair shop of the cotton
mill to go to the spinning ring companys
plant As he went out of the door of the
repair shop four men accosted him with
the warning hands up" Beauregard
drew his revolver,and discharged one cart
ridge, but with no effect. The men sue
ceeded in getting Beauregard's revolver,
and then they bound and gagged him. The
gag was a large one and nearly choked
the watehman, who was placed in an out
house by the men at about / o'clock and
was not discovered until Gas, when the
mill people went to work. There appears
to have been five men in the party.
They broke into the bank building by
forcing the door. The national and savings
bank was located in the same room. where
there are two safes. An attempt was made
to blow open the two safes, probably at
the same time They succeeded in blowing
open one of the safes, which contained
only the books, but the other safe was not
badly damaged, and no injury was done
to the contents.
The books were thrown over the floor.
A complete set of burglars tools was
left strewn about the floor, also a large
fuse, which was probably used The gag
that the watchman was secured with
was tied with wire. One man was evil
IDENTIFY acquainted with the locality. The
party left town in a team owned by and
stolen from Mr. Sprague of North Bridge.
Officers have been put on their track,
and they will do all they can to locate
the party.
The Whitinsville National and Savings
Banks have been established about thir-
ty-five years, and never before has an
attempt been made to rob them. The
postofflce has been broken into twice
In a year, but no booty was secured either
time. The would-be robbers seem to have
had poor luck in securing anything for
their trouble. The bank has offered a
large reward. Four of the five men wore
