Italians Routed by shoan..

MASSOWAH, March 2. = The italian
forces have suffered another reverse at the
hands of the Shoans. General Baratieri
assumed the offensive on March Sunday,
disposing his forces into three columns. re-
spectively, under Generals Albertone, Ar
mondi and Dabormida, with General
Ellena's brigade as reserve. Thus dis
Shoan position. They surprised and cap
tured the passes leading to Adowa, the
capital of Tigre, without fighting. General
Albertone's column was then advancing on
Abbacarima, but it was soon attacked by
the whole of the Shoan army and was
obliged to retreat General Armondi was
unable to render assistance with his COL
umn. The whole of the Italian forces were
soon engaged in desperate fighting with
the enemy and were compelled to abandon
the positions which they had taken. Owing
| to the difficulties of the ground it proved
impossible to move the mountain batteries
The losses sustained by the Italians are

No In.ubordination at wabash.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
No ''ultimatum' has been presented to our
faculty, nor is there any insubordination
among our students. Some members OF the
freshman class presented courteous petit
ton, requesting the reinstatement OF two OF
their number who had been suspended, and
respectfully inquiring what they might do
to bring about their desire. This petition
was courteously answered and their request
denied. All the interviews between myself
and members of this class have been char
acterized by respect and Difference on their
part and there mas been nothing which
could ba criticised. The reports of the cele-
bration of Washingtons birthday have been
grossly exaggerated. The celebration has
never been spoken Of publicly by myself,
either before or since its occurrence, nor
has the word expulsion" ever been used
in any private interview before or since.

An Unpopular Democrat.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

CORYDON, Ind, March 2.-The friends Of
Hon. W. T. Zenor in this county now see
where they made mistake in placing his
name on the ticket at the Democratic pri-
maries last Friday. The other congressional
aspirant refused to come into Mr. Zenor's s
county and make a canvass against him.
and consequently, he had no opposition. The
rules governing the primaries provided that
where a candidate had no opposition his
name should not be placed on the ticket. but
that he should be declared the choice of the
Democrats OF the county without any express
sion at the ballot box. But the friends Of Mr..
Zenor, relying his popularity, had his
name placed on the ticket, thinking that he
would receive complimentary vote that
would be an advantage 10 him in other coun-
ties. The result was that his name was
scratched 1856 times in the county, something
that was not only not expected, but is also
