furthermore, facilitate the conquest oi Lower Dongola, and, eventually, the expulsion of the British.
 Of course, England could not afford to let Italy be defeated by the Mahdists; and, for reasons of self-preservation, has undertaken to bring the Khalifa to time.
 The command of the Anglo-Egyptian expedition has been placed in the hands of Gen. H. H. Kitchener, who is the sirdar of the Egyptian army. The native force directed by him will be strength ened at once by 1,20O British troops un- der Gen. Henderson, staff major of the army of occupation. Altogether the expedition will have fighting strength of 14.oOo. The Egyptian soldiers are not the best fighters, but as they are off, ficercd by Englishmen they may be courageous enough to defend tho Brit ish position until reenforcements can arrive from Europe and India. Slatin Pasha is attached to Gen. Kitchener's staff. He will be of great service to his chief, as he is familiar with various dia- lects spoken by the Soudanese and has all intimate knowledge of Khalifa's resources and Notifications. The os- tensible object of the expedition is the reclamation for Egypt of Darfur, Kordofan, Senaar, the Equatorial prov ince and Bahr-el-Gazal, and the rescue of number of prisoners taken by the MahdistS at EhartOum,

Of the Khallfa slatin says that, after

Of the Khallfa Slatin says that, after
 the Mahdi's death, he and his followers
 entered into the widest excesses-
 drunkenness, riotous living and de- bauchery of every sort; and they satis- fled to their fullest extent the vicious
 passions which are so prevalent among the Soudanese." When this state of af. fairs became known, many tribes revolt ed and secured their independence; es- pecially those who were not permitted
 to share in the pIunder secured in the raids against adjacent states. Since 1891 Osman Digma has lost quite num- Der of battles, and the Khalifa's power was on the wane until the terrible defeat of the Italian troops at Adowa. That event inspired him with hope of new conquests, and he forthwith declared "holy war" against Egypt. Great Britain. whose interests in Upper Egypt and the Soudan are paramount, accept ed the challenge and at once started an expedition up the Nile.
 The Soudan, for whose possession Great Britain and Egypt are about to risk millions of money and thousands of lives, includes all the richest prov ince of the Upper Nile. Itextends from the frontier of Upper Egypt for dis. tance of nearly 1,400 miles southward to Lake Albert Nyanza, with total area of about 100000 square miles, and with a population estimated at 12,0O0,0OO. It includes the region of Darfur, reduced to Egyptian rule in 1874; Kordofan, in 1891; Upper Nubia and Senaar, in 1929; the Zeriba lands of the White Nile basin, organized and ad. ministered by the Egyptian government 1s70-72, and since held partly by Emin Pasha until relieved by Stanley in 1889. This territory was placed under goyernor-gcneral, with head. quarters at Khartoum, at the confluence Of the White and Blue Nile. Since the Mahdi's revolt Suakim, Berber and Zeilah have been occupied by the Brit. ish, Massowah by the Italians and Lower Dongola by the Egyptians. After the Mahdi's death the Khalifa formally established the Soudanese capital nt Omdurman, a poor town which has since become one of the most beautiful and artistic cities in the Moslem world.
 The Khalifa and Osma Digma have waited for years for chance to conquer the foreign invaders; and when the under King Menelek had the Italians at Adowa a strong force of deryishes was sent toward Kassala to exterminate the Italian gar. rison stationed at. that fortress. Sue. cess would mean to them not only plum. der, but restoration of the prestige | which they have been losing ever since 1891 and assure their continuance in power. The capture of Kassala would,

: ried on war against neighboring tribes and the Italian army of occupation sta. tioned in the Massowah district.
 Although the Mahdi was a natural diplomat, he was not born soldier; and his wonderful successes as a con- ,queror were due mainly to Osman Dig sma, who is still the military head of the Dervishes. This adventurer, whose real name is George Nisbet, was born in Rouen, France, in 1886. Early in life he driftcd into Africa, and became a slave trader at Khartoum. When the Mahdist excitement was yet in it's in- cipiency, he identified himself with it and shared in all the glory and profits of that strange enterprise.
 The Khalifa Abdullah, present po- tentate of the Soudan, has failed to sc- cure the hold on his subjects which made his predecessors ventures so start lingly successful. Fl Mahdi claimed to Joe messiah, and although he was a tyrant was looked upon by his people as a man sent from .Allah-a person who could do no wrong and who could only be defeated in war by the faithlessness of his soldiers. His death by smallpox was great blow to the bigoted der wishes who expected to see him trans- lated as was Elijah of old; and many of them never recovered their faith in his claims. Abdullah, instead of concili- cting these fanatics, pcrsecuted them vigorously and laid barren scores of prosperous districts whose inhabitants refused to worship at his shrine; and the fertile plains over which the western Arabs roamcd are now occupied by wild animals. Slatin Pasha, an Austrian officer and an intimate friend of the un- fortunate Gordon, who was for many years prisoner in tho camp of the Mahdi, says that the latter "preached renuciaticn; invcighed against earth ly vanitIcs and ranks, and anyone who cast the slightest doubt on the divine nature of his mission lost his right hand and his left foot"

 religious societies of Cairo, Tunis, Tri- poll and Algiers. As soon as his claims were admitted among the fanatical Mussulmans of Dongola he declared holy war against the Egyptian in vaders and their British allies, which virtually was ended January 26, 1885, when the fortified city of Khartoum, in Nubia, fell into the hands of the Mahdists through the treachery of Faragh Pasha. Gen. Gordon and all his European followers were cruelty murdered. Shortly afterward the Sou dan was evacuated, although the Mahdi died, of smallpox, in June of the same year. On his dcathbed he entrusted his sword to AbduIlah, his nephew, who be- came the khalifa or Successor" as head of the faithful. and who has since car

After years of hesitation Great Britain has at last concluded to reconquer the Soudan and to subdue Abdullah, the cruel ruler of that country. Until 1882 the Soudan, or Nigritia, was partly sub- jcct to the khedive of Egypt who main- tained his suzerainty by means of British support. In July, 1881, Mo- hammed Ahmed, a carpenter of Don- gola, carried away by religious fanati- cism and an uncomfortable hatred of for eign influence, declared himself
