Mahdists Wipe Out the Expedition Of
baron Dhanls.

w Out VI
baron Dhanls.
BRUSSELS, June 25.-The Reforme
says it learns from good source that
the entire Dhanis expedition to the
headwaters of the Nile, including Baron
Dhanis himself, has been massacred.
Baron Dhanis last year enlisted 5000
men i'll the Congo Free State to take
part in a secret expedition. The British
government allowed number OF its
hussar troops to join the expedition,
but it officially denied that an Anglo
Belgian movement had been concerted
against the Mahdists. The general i'm
preston, however, was that this force
was intended to act in conjunction with
the Anglo Egyptian expedition mp the
Nile and take the Mahdists between
two fires, and eventually complete the
reconquest of the Soudan.
In August last Baron Dhanis was re-
ported to have arrived at Lado, north
of the territory of the Congo Free State,
ON the White Nile, and some 325 miles
north of the Victoria Nyanza. 1t was
then understood that the Dhanis expe-
dition would push on northward in the
direction of Khartoum.
Early in December last it was report
ed that the expedition had met with
disaster and that Baron Dhanis had
been killed. Later it was authorita.
lively stated that there was no ground
for the report and that when last heard
from in September the baron was at
Stanley Falls. 600 miles from the near
est dervish forces.
Baron Dhanis was born in London,
March, 1869, of Belgian father and a
mother of English extraction, He was
educated in Scotland and in Belgium
and entered the military school at Brus-
sells in 1882.

TJ'Ry ON THE LIGHT.

Of executive session. The question of

PATRIOTISM az OF TARIFF.

A sublime example Of the patriotism %
and the impudence of the high tariff
devotees is the petition OF the New York
commission merchants relative TO the duty
on onions and potatoes. The biggest
and most heartless trust in the country
has not, in its demands. made a more
shameless proposition. These New York
commission merchants ask for a tariff
of 10 per cent. on potatoes and 20 per
cent. on onions for nine months of each
year, and for free potatoes and free
March. April, and May.
The explanation of this is that during
the three months named the Northern
States market no onions or potatoes,
but get their supplies from the Bermudas,
the Bahamas, and other West Indian
islands. or from the South An enforce
ment of the tariff for nine months would
protect the northern farmers. but
these farmers would lose nothing by a
suspension Of duties during the other three
months. when the southern potato and
onion crops are being marketed. At the
same time, the latter crops would be
brought into competition with foreign
"pauper potatoes and onions"
In other words, the proposition is radi-
cally sectional and selfish to the last
degree. 1t is simply a barefaced demand
that the foreign products shall be adj
mitted to this country so long as they
compete only with the southern products,
-
as they compete with the northern pro-
duets. The northern trucker is to be
taken under the protecting aegis of the
new administration, in order that the
money he has invested in truck raising
may pay him and the northern commits
sion merchant good return, but the
southern trucker is not only not to be
thus protected. but is to be put in posi-
tion that will afford the northern COM
mission merchant the best of opportuni-
ties for squeezing him with profit.
And without entering here in any man
ner into the merits Of the tariff ques-
ton as a general proposition. we may
say that the special case under discus
sion Is essentially largely representative
OF the entire scheme of protection as en-
braced in the word McKinleyism. In
the same spirit Of sectionalism and
selfshness, other interests are knocking
at the doors Of Congress, and would,
without conjunction, cut the threats of
other sections of the country in order
that their sections might batten on he
blood thereof. 1t is a spirit that would
advance the interests Of the few, regard
less of the needs of the many. Last, but
not least, 1t Is a spirit that brings out
In glaring relief the arrant hypocrisy
OF the Republican party: for who does
not know that during the late presidential
campaign there was nothing that
party professed to be more Mortified at
than what It termed the sectional and
unpatrlosic" alliance between the South
and the West, touching the financial
issue

1T STANDS PROVED.

An Australian savant has written
book to prove that "thc Jew In SOL
der" We take II that the book Is In
teresting in it's details. seeing that II
is said TO give list of many distin-
guished military officers of the race
and show that the number OF jewish
soldiers In the European armies is pro-
portionately larger than that OF other
races. But the mere attempt to prove
that the Jew Is soldier Is somewhat
of a work Of supererogation. The case
stands proved.
No one who IL familiar with the oid
Testament can doubt the place the jew
was entitled TO among the ancient
fighters of the world; and no one VINO
has studied Graetz. or any other I'M
partial Jewish historian, can question:
that he maintained his reputation ior
valor through the later ages. our own
civil war afforded another striking IL
lustration of the fact that the Jew Is
n soldier. Given equal opportunities
equal recognition before the law ana
equal rights of citizenship, ana the
Jews make their mark in military mat
ters lust as they do in literature, art
music. and science. Indeed, In some o.
the European countries the Jews con-
sidering the prosecutions they have been
subjected TO in those countries, nave
shown not only APPROVES, but patriot
ism that ought to make their perse-
cutors long TO blot out the persecution
record from the pages of history.

the Banking and Currency Committee OF
the House would now be doing with re-
spect TO the banking and currency sys-
tenn had there been extended to II one
half of the encouragement which has been
so promptly accorded to the Committee
on Ways and Means. the New York Jour
nal of Commerce asks What is this en-
couragement?" and then adds:
"Simply the pressing demand by
manufacturers. who are TO be the
immediate benefciaries thereof, Tor
higher duties at the earliest pos
sible moment. In the rectihcation OF
the currency nc one has so immediate
and personal interest as the woollen
manufacturers have in the duty on WOOL
lens. or as the sheep owners have in the
duty on wool and therefore Mr.. Walker
committee has not been urged forward
as Mr.. Dingleys committee has been.
Precisely. Individual interests and the
interests Of trusts and combinations are
being pressed by special representatives
but the interests of the masses and OF
the general business of the country are
being left to take care of themselves
having no advocates in court. If the pub
lie and the business bodies OF the
country would have Congress move in

must move aggressively and persistentiy
