Under this celebrated warrior and ad-
ministrator. who carried his victorious
arms on one side from the Volga and
the Irish to the Persian gulf. and on
the other from the Ganges to the Helles-
pent, it became the capital of one of the
largest empires ever known in the center
lauded by the poets Of Asia. At the
height of the city's prosperity 1t con-
tanned no fewer than forty colleges, of
which only three remain perfect. But
it still has. though in state of decay,
many edihces associated with its former
glory.

ADWCES FROM THE FRONT.

Queen Victoria Grieved Over the
Heavy Loss-Bishop Majorica

In Turkestan.

Bombay, Sept. 19.-Adviccs from the
front show that the various columns are
advancing against the Mahmouskis from
Pangkro and Shabakdar. AS yet they
have met with no serious opposition, but
the difficulties of transportation in a
mountainous and almost painless country
are immense. Another formidable os-
staclc in the way of rapid movement is
the lack OF water.
The brigade of Gen. Jcffreys has not
joined in the advance. Yesterday it
left camp at Anavat with sixteen COM
panies of infantry and four guns in order
to re-attack the enemy at the village Of
the Damotaga. The enemy made des-
perate resistance, but were driven out
into tn hills. The British demolished
their towers and captured 400 mule loads
of supplies. AS soon as the troops began
to retire from the village the enemy. re-
appeared in force. The retirement, how
the native troops behaving splendidly.
Two Sikhs were killed and six wounded.
1t is now known that the enemy's loss
during the fight on Thursday last be-
tween the Mohmands and the second
brigade of Gen. Sir Bidon Blood, in the
valley north of Anayat, was very, heavy.
The tribes engaged did not press the brig
aue during tMe retirement, Dul lrcsh
tribesmen appeared.
Capt. Ryder's company of Sikhs vir-
tually owed their lives to an Afridi ser
geant of the guides corps, who, when
the Sikhs had exhausted their. ammuni-
tion and were desperately cutting. their
way back through the enemy, dashed up
the hill under Il heavy fire with u supply
of cartridges. He arrived just in the
nick of time, as the swordsmen of the
enemy were already among the Sikhs,
who were absolutely unable, after the
heavy climb and the hard fighting, to con-
tinue the struggle.
Lieut. Watson was thrice wounded
while galantly leading handful of
Bluffs, who routed large body of the
enemy that was trying to storm the VII
lage on which Gen. Jeffreys, with guns,
had taken mp position after missing his
main body in the gloom Thursday night.
1t appears that the enemy lost $50
men before they captured the Sarnngni
police post. They burned alive two Sikh
cooks whom they captured while hunting
for firewood.
The queen has sent the following dis
patch with reference to the reverse Mt
Camp Anayat:
II am deeply grieved at the loss OF
80 many brave officers and men. l ear
nestly desire to he informed as to the
condition of all the wounded; The "on-
duct of the troops was admirable.

an occasion for gathering of the sena-
torial gladiators, for Senator Mills has
agreed to make speech to the old SOL
diers. and Governor Culberson will
hardly refuse the invitation sent to him.

cannot say that 1t has yet reached ITS
limit I'm the collection ~ news; but its
growth Will be more and more in the d.
rection of judiCious selection and inform
ing presentation of news, of greater
brains and of a wider and higher range
Of work The great modern newspaper
will more and more summon the most
varied, expert and brilliant talents to its
service. The reporters, with their steady,
faithful, conscientious workers, will in
clude young men with the gifts of a
Daudet or Gautier for description. The
correspondents will number masters of
style who can paint a scene as Macaulay
painted the trial of Warren Hastings.
The editorial writers will contain essay
lists as charming as Coleridge and pole
mics as sinewy and pungent as CobDett.
The specialists will embrace scientists us
brilliant as Huxley, philosophers as acute
as Mill. and legists as mastery as Story.
No visionary dream this since Daudct,
Gauticr, MaCaulay, Colerldge Cobbett,
Huxley, Mill and Story were most of them
during their careers working newspaper
men and all of them contributed to news
paper columns. This progressive news
paper Will have a broader conception Of
news as meaning not merely the ~ 'nts rf

moral movements of the time. 1t Will
have higher realization of its power
and of its responsibility in leading pub
lie opinion and in shaping public action
not merely in politics but IN the whole
realm of human activity. 1t will be more
fair, more discriminating, more impair"

fearless in its conclusions, earnest in its
convictions and courteous in its meth
ods, lifting up higher ideal of the true
journalistic standard arl more faithful
in fulfilling it's lofty demands.
