TIE MAD MULLAH.
History of the Man Who Is Preach
ing a HOLY War.


San Francisco Chronicle: The Mullah
of Hadda. who led the attack on Sir
Bindon BIood's force, is otherwise
known as NajaH- din, Alzhundzada,
the latter title having been bestowed
on him as one of the foremost disciples
of the Aihund of Swat Hadda, or
AIDA, the usual residence of the Null
lah, is in the JeIabad district. He was
at one time the friend any ally of the
more celebrated Mullah Khalil, who
gave the British a good deal of trouble
during the Afghan war, on. three coca
sions attempting to cut their line of
communication with Cabul. Some ten
years ago. when the Cflilzais were pre-
pairing 10 rise against the authority of
Abdur Rahman, the Mullaih KhaIil en-
deaYored to persuade Najam-ud-din to
stir up the Mohamands and the people
of Bajaur to attack the ATneer's troops;
but the combination broke down, and
NaJam-ud-din eventually made friends
! with the Afghan general.
He also gave Ahdur Rahman the
benefit of his advice, eXhorting him to
oppose the Russians. The Ameer does
not appear to have taken this in good
( part. The MuIIah Of Ifadda was sum-
moned to Ca6ul and placed under re-
straint and it was said that he would
be tried before a clerical tribunal on a
charge of preaching Vandalism. a
runnor next reached Peshawur that he
had been put to death, but this proved
untrue, and it presently became known
that he had either made his escape or
had been released on the interceS5i0n
Of his disciples, who, according to the
, British agent in Cabul, numbered over
a lakh-more, that is, than 100000 In
any case it is tolerably certain that
( Abdur Rahman was jealous of the Null
labs influence. and that the Mullah en-
tertained anything but friendly feel
/ ingS for the Amer
! After leaving CabuI he repaired to
( the country of the Shnwari5. then in
+ insurrectiCn against the ruler of Cabul
/ He did all he could to encourage them
/ in their contumacy,' and they, in turn,
( offered to make him their Bedshah, or
king, but he declined the honor When
! the ShinWari revolt was put down the
/ Mullah repaired to the Swat country,
declining the Ameer's invitation to pay
/ another visit to Cabul, and even s-efu5-
( ing to accept the offer of some villages,
which Abdur Rahman promised to be-
stow on him, rent free. Mere recently
he assisted in fomenting the hostility
to the English which led to the Cilitral
expedition, and now he is preaching a
holy war against England among the
MChmards

Springfield, Ills, Jan. 1.-THE inau-

veloped sensation ut the close of the
State house ceremonies when the retiring
governor, John =. Altgeld, WAS not per-
mitted 10 deliver the farewell address
which has been one Of the features of
previous inaugurations in Illinois.
Governor Altgcld had prepared his spc-
cial. Ii had been given place on the
printed programmes and much ntercs,
had conferred in its anticipated delivery.
Tie snub was made the r.ore painful to
the eN governor and his friends from the
fact that Mrs. Altgcld occupied a seat by
him on the stage and early in the course
of the exercise it was moved that Mr..
AitSeld be requested to address the Join,
assembly present at the inauguration.
Speaker Curtis, of he.,lowcr house. de-
ciared the motion out of order and subse-
qucntly refused to recognizes any Demo-
cratic member who attempted to catch
the eye of the chair.
The majority of the large assembly and
great audience did not appreciate this
situation until II movement to adjourn
was carried without the retiring governor
having spoken.
