Egyptian forces are in full possession
of Dongola and the Soudan expedition
proper has been brought to successful

protracted campaign. The advance
upon Dongola was begun at o'clock a..
m. The gunboats covered the left
flank and the cavalrysand camel corps
were on the right flank. Scouting par
ties of cavalry found that the dervishes
had not only abandoned their outposts,
but that their main camp had been de.
serted, the enemy having been in full
flight and carrying with them their
women and children. Wherever par
ties of the dervishes were sighted they

The gunboats shelled every detachment
of hostiles that came within range of
their guns and did much execution.
All the principal dervish chiefs with
the exception of Wad Bishara have
surrendered and the opposition to the
Egyptian power in this section has
completely collapsed Only five British
soldiers were wounded in the days
operations. There were captured six
field guns, quantity of ammunition,
great stores Of grain and many focks
and herds. According to the intelligence

, erS' Union. @"' .

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 24.-The i'm
preston that the presence Of troops in
Leadville would end the strike has
been dissipated by the reports which
have reached Governor Mc1ntrye from
that place. He is told that miners from
Aspen, Cripple Greek and the San Juan
are quietly gathering at Leadville and
that at an opportune moment the strik.
ers will wipe out the entire national
guard and burn the town. The gov.
ernor has inquired unofficially of
Brigadier General Wheaton, comman-
der of the military department Of Colo
RADIO as to what assistance the federal
authorities can render in case of emer.
gency on short notice.
Given Full Power to Act.
Governor Mcintyre has sent tel
egram of instructions to General
Brooks at Leadville, giving that officer
full power to act rs his representative
in suppress.ng riot in that city and dis
trict. General Brooks is specifically in
structed to permit no interference from
any source whatever, and to act with
or without the cooperation of the local
authorities. Lieutenant Byram, the
United States officer attached to the
governors staff, was with him when
the telegram was being drawn up, and
on being asked if it gave General
Brooks military power sufficient to en-
force martial law. replied that it did
practically amount to martial law.
Grave Fears stll Entertained.
No further violence has been reported
at Leadville, but as it is known that
more than 500 new model Winchesters
are in possession Of the rioters, as well
as large supplies Of dynamite, grave
fears are entertained by both the citi.
zens and the military.
To give General Brooks the full sup
port of the entire state military force,
Governor Mcintyre has sent orders to
the two Second regiment companies
held in reserve, one at Lake City and
the other at Monte Vista, to proceed at
once to Leadville. This will place at
the generals immediate disposal $50
soldiers, including the Chaffe Light
artillery, with Calling guns and also

tion was right and for the best inter
ests., of the country. He referred il
eloquent terms to the expression OF
sympathy for Cuba, and also spoke
of the Hawaiian islands and declared
they ought to belong to this country
Congressman McCleary followed and
was introduced amid great applause
Said he was glad to be here, and that
it was great thing to live in this
century and in this country of ours.
He referred to the battle of Bunker
Hill and how that body of brave men,
some in uniforms and some without,
bravely held their own until their
ammunition was exhausted, and then
CALAMITY retreated, making victory
of defeat. These men fought for
their liberty One hundred and
twenty-one years later on the ami
versary of that battle in mid contin-
ent met another body of men in the
exercise of their liberty, and they
have done great work. The people
have passed through four years of
hopelessness with only silent hearths
and workshops and empty dinner
pals before them. But in all that
time they have been looking forward
with hope to one man-William Nc,
Kinley. Said he would not take the
time to analyze the platform, but
that it could be summed up in two
statements. Shall the republic do it's
own work, or have it done elsewhere,
and doing it have an honest ollar to
pay for it. Four years ago the Demo
cratic party wanted free trade, now it
is drifting to free silver. And were it
to win, four years from now it would
want a free lunch rendered.
He closed by relating the story of
the Mexican condemned to death, the
Judge picturing to him all the beau
ties of the coming spring with IL re-
lease from the cold and laden with
the fragrance of blossoms and fruit,
but remarked, ''you will not be in it,,
for you must die" And so the dawn
is now breaking, the twilight of good
times will appear next November.
The warmth of prosperity will return,
but the Democratic party will not be
in it. Its power for harm will die.
The meeting closed with three
rousing cheers for the national ticket.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.
Meeting of the City Council aMonday
Evening to EqualiZe ASSESS
ment.
The Matter of the ga" Street Viaduct
Discussed.

The city council assembled at the
city .hall Monday for the purpose
of reviewing the work of the assessors.
But before they resolved themselves
into board of equalization they took
up the matter of the ga" street via
duct which is being constructed Of
piling instead of stone abutments as
the first profile called for.
Superintendent Spencer was present
and spoke in regard to the matter.
He said that at the time Mr.. Winter
met with the council he promised
that crossing would be made that
would be satisfactory both to the COM
pany and to Engineer Haynes.
The viaduct, as it is now being con-
structed, could be put in for about
$4,000, while masonry would cost S1O,-
900, and the piling was equally as
good while it lasted. He further said
that the company were not philan
thropists, and were under no obliga-
tion to use Mankato stone. He could
not see that the companywere evading
any promises, and understood the
present work was satisfactory to the
city engineer
Aid. Zimmerman said that while
no promises were made at the meet
ing referred to, yet the plans then
presented and accepted by the city
called for stone abutments and iron
girders, and he regarded this equal to
a promise. After some more discus
sion of the subject it was decided to
postpone action until Saturday even
ing.
The council then resolved itself in
to board of equalization with Aid.
Zimmerman as president, and Harry
Brown as secretary, and began look
ing over the personal assessments.
Several more meeting will be neces-
sary to complete this work.
