of much of the march. It is hoped that to-
day the whole of the expeditionary force
will effect crossing OF the Nile SO as TO
march to Dongola tomorrow Owing TO
the lack of a supply OF telegraph cable to
lay in the Nile. the terminus of the field
telegraph still remains at Kerma on the
east bank of the Nile.
The losses of the expedition up to last
evening were only five wounded, despite
the enemy's hot fire. The field horse bat
terry and the men who handled the Maxim
guns had an especially warm corner. Dur
1ngethe engagement the men lunched be-
hind any hasty shelter that could be de-
vised. The Maxim guns were manned by
the Connaught Rangers. and the Tenth
Battalion was ranged along the bank of
the river facing the Dervish position. They
fired three rounds at the enemy.
One of the most striking things noted
during the fight was the long range of the
enamy's Remington rifles At a distance of
damage and some of their bullets struck
two thousand yards from point of firing.
The weather for the last few days has been
rather hot. The wind from the north has
brought nearly all the boats up the river,
bearing sufficient supplies for the wants of
the expedition
IT is the general impression here that the
Dervishes will not make any further stand.
1t Is evident that Wad Bishara had brought
up all his effective force from Dongola, in
tending to make stand at FL Haar. Even
If he is able to recover Dongola from the
cupied it, II is not considered possible that
he should nleke a stand against the advance

the various items of business disposed of
was the presentation and adoption OF reso-

of free-siiver organs and candidates, and
which were unanimously adopted fol-

Whereas on several occasions the free
silver organs have perniciousiy stated that
the organization of the Railway Men
Sound-money Club of JenerSoaviIle was in
accordance with an order issued by the
management of the different lines of rail-
way represented in the organization by the
employees; that said employees were being
coerced and intimidated into forming the
club; and furthermore. their presidential
charges in several of his speeches through
out the country; therefore be it
Resolved, That we hereby express our
resentment of the sation, which We
consider an insult to our intelligence and
our manhood. We denounce such articles

being criticised or insulted, either by the
organs or candidates of any party repre-

we denounce as utterly false the state

sues of the 18th inst, that members of this
organization were forced to attend the
meeting at Indianapolis on the evening of

And the secretary of this club is hereby
instructed to make these resolutions part
of the minutes of this meeting and spread
them upon the records and to also furnish
copies to the press for their information
and that of the public
The railroad men of this locality view
with contempt these petty forms of cam
paigning, and employees in and out of the
club are unanimous in their expressions of
d1Sapproval of such a course.
The club has formed a school for the
study of the financial question among
themselves, which meets once a week in
their rooms for that purpose. Much good
is promised, and all railroad employees,
members or nonmembers of the club, are
invited to participate. The opening session
will be held Friday evening at 1880.

an ANARCHIST SCARE.
Chicago Police Find Trunk Full of
Deadly Explosives.

CHICAGO, Sept. 20. = Joseph Bestman
said By the police to be an Anarchist, left
at is Sedgwick court three years ago this
fall a trunk containing sufficient dynamite
to have destroyed an acre of property in
Chicago and to have taken the lives of hun
dreds of citizens. The discovery was made
by accident. Bestman was not found, but
the police received information in the after
noon that he is living in Dallas. Tex. and
wired the chief of police there to arrest
him at once.
The discovery Of this enormous quantity
of explosive matter and the story of Best
man himself, so far now known to the
police, brings to light tale of anarchistic
plotting such as Chicago has not had re-
vealed since the dark daysxof 1856, when the
existence of the city was threatened and
Spies and his comrades swung on the gall
