is threatening Sinkat, which is
only little over fifty miles from
Suakim. The Dervishes are adj

an attack is expected in a short
time.
A dispatch from Constantinople

and Russian attempts to infuriate
the Sultan against England on
account of the Nile expedition
have failed.
A Cairo dispatch to the Times
says: The situation in the Suakim
district is critical. The Egyptian
forces are small, and it is highly
desirable that Indian troops be
sent to relieve the anxiety.
The news is confirmed that the
Negus Menelek is withdrawing his
army to Shoa, where he will con-

the Italian representatives. 1t is
believed the rainy season will
compel the Italians to withdraw
their troops to Massowah. The
Dervishes fired at the outer works
of Kassala on March 25. The
Italians replied without result.

as the Uruan incident as long as
England claims that the men were

furthermore, Venezuela will not
pay any indemnity to Great Bri-

 The death of Louis Bennett on the Catarraugus reservation near Buffalo on Sunday recalls to sportsmen who arc now included in the veteran division the memory of the first great demonstra- tion in England of the ability of Amer jeans to outrun the best of their ma tives It was not by that name that he was known on the running path, but as Deerfoot, and the only way the English men could manage to connect him with their country was by placing the Catta- raugus reservation in Canada, and it was so recorded in the annual volume of Willlinson's Modern Athletics. '" Every use was made of Deerfoot's be- ing an Indian to advertise the exhibi- tions at which he was the leading at traction, and his abbreviated running trunks were decorated with feathers and beads and a long feather was stuck in a fillet bound round his head. He was taken to England in 1862 and began match racing at once with great suc- cess, and his arrival brought out the

ITS PRACTICAL SIDE.

The discovery by Professor Rontgen is naturally enough awakening great in terest all over the civilized world and the experiments of Professor Wright, of Yale, and other investigators on the sub ject are exciting much attention. The Rochester Democrat speaking of Pro- lessor Wright's photographic experi- ments with the Crookes tubes remarks: "It will be an interesting subject of research to ascertain how far the pro- duction of this light or force in partial vacuum determines it's character in re- spect to penetration of opaque objects and lack of refrangibility. In other words, are the actinic rays of ordinary sunlight rendered refrangible by air and robbed to a considerable extent of force to penetrate objects apparently opaque? Experienced photographers know that sunlight penetrates many substances and blackens sensitive plates. Accord ingly great precaution is taken in hand ling very sensitive photographic films
 Again, will any variation in the quan- tity of air remaining in Crookes tubes render the rays refrangible? Reflection and re.raction are properties of sun

HEROIC.

The eyes of the civilized world are turned to Gomez, the leader of the pa triot band in Cuba, and he appears to be the man for the hour and the crisis. If he fails, his fate is sealed, in all probability, and he will meet an ig'noble death at the hands of Spain. If he succeeds, he will be Cuba's~ ~deliverer, "a deIverer from an oppression and tyrannous exactions far worse than was ours when the spirit of re- arose Go- meg is no needy, ,sordid adventurer no place seeker. All accounts concur that working solely in behalf of his beloved Cuba. All accounts agree that Cuba's wrongs are great, that Cuba's life blood is ebbing away under Spain's exactions. Down-trodden, oppressed and ruthless ly tyrannized over, Cuba in her revolt has the sympathy of all lovers of free q m. Not to synpathize with her in her trying situation would be unworthy of freedon-loving America Gomez stands forth a bold, aggressive, wise and able leader With success he be- comes Cuba's deliverer from bondage; defeated and a captive, his life pays the forfeit. He displays the qualities of a skilled strategist, an able general. His Fabian policy, with his relatively mea- gre force, is indeed one of the highest wisdom, and most annoying and galling it is to Spain. Spain's ablest general, who has won glory on many a battle field, retires from the scene, recalled in disgrace, and yet his glory is un- tarnished, for he could not give bat tie to an invisible foe And his humane policy toward the revolutionists was dictated from his heart, for he himself felt in a measure the woes of Cuba from intimate personal knowledge of the country. His policy was too lenient, which greatly increased the cIamoring lOl l1po lCSoil. 1IdO bopciIu uelu lO us promises to Cuba, to it's concessions granted years ago at Campos' wise sug- gestions, the revolution of to-day would probably have been averted. Our Con- gress has rightly, amid all the oratory aired on the Cuban question, expressed itself in protest against the inaugura- | tion of a regime of rapine and butchery by Spain; but evidently, as usual, shows a lack of brainy, skilled leadership in this, as in other international matters. But as to Gomez and the cause he rep
 resents, his leadership and his manly 1 patriotic utterances, none but words ot praise are called for. If he maintains 1 his record and wins, the world will have l added another to it's list of heroes and
 successful leaders.

The Queens message to Lady Coven- try, says the St. James Gazette, may serve to recall her very great concern for the safety of those known to her during the Zulu war of fifteen years ago. The Court was on Deeside at the time, and one morning, when Her Majesty was immersed in business, John Brown knocked at the door, went in, and gravely said that there was bad news The Queen, in much alarm, asked what 1t was, and he replied; '"The young French Prince is killed" Of that day the Queen wrote in her diary; "Got to bed very late; 1t was dawning; and little sleep did I get" And on the next 'evening she added: Had a bad, restless night. haunted by this awful event, seeing those horrid Zulus con stantly before me, and thinking of the poor Empress. My Accession Day, for ty-two years ago; but no thought of it in presence of this frightful event."
 Concerning the Senate's action on the silver bill last Saturday the New York Tribune of yesterday says: ''This vote ought to be regarded by the financial world as a bit of sheer stiffness, which can have no influence upon the welfare, the good faith or the future policy of the Nation. The difficulty is that not all men are intelligent enough to under stand it thus thoroughly. In foreign countries, it is probable, there will be found not few fairly competent inves- torstors and capitalists who will look upon this action of the Senate as only a new disclosure of the downward ten dency of public opinion in this coun- try. Such men will be apt to forget that the Senate has voted more than once in the same way, and with the same entire want of practical result. Necessarily the influence upon the pub lie credit must be injurious to some eX- tent, and it is possible that it may re- suit during the coming months ill some further outgo of gold"

Fashions don't change in shoes, ex- cept in the very fancy styles. Women are a little more sensible than they used to be and the average street shoe is made with fairly low heel and with a decent amount of room in the toe. Just now we are wearing big, high buttoned overshoes. These are not inexpensive, but unless one does lot of heavy walk ing one pair lasts a whole season, and they keep the feet perfectly warm and dry and save the shoe inside from all wear and tear.
