The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-09-18

LONDON, Sept. 1S-All the morning pa
pers comment upon the British reverse
north of Camp Anayat. ; The Daily Tele-
graph calls it Disastrous" and says:
whether it was due to rashness or to some
not explained cause, it will be a matter Of
unfeigned sorrow. When we read of the
loss of so many valuable lives we can only
deplore a casualty which, though it will be
doubtless speedily avenged, casts gloom
upon the happier intelligence received from
Fort Gulistan."
The Standard says: 1.-THE interruption of
the advance is in every way deplorable.
1t is absolutely necessary to retrieve the re-
verse; and meanwhile the enemy, who were
said to be disheartened and disinclincd to
fight will be encouraged to organize a
determined resistance. Possibly the third
Brigade, which has reached Nawagai, VIII
retrace its steps in order to support Gen.
Jeffreys. 1t is impossible to offer an eXpiana-
ton of the miShap. We must remember,
however that it occurred in a country
never before traversed by European troops
and very little known, the country Of the
Mohmands who also know very little OF
the strength ultimately to be employed
against them. But there is reason TO tear
gence as to the disposition of the enemy's
strength has led our commanders to uE-
dertake an operation that cannot Le pushed
through Further details are awaited With
anxiety 1t must be hoped that the Indian
government will give Sir William I.oclshart
a perfectly free hand TO choose his cwn
men He must not be bound by red tape
regulations. Much has yet to be done before
peace and order will be restored.
Fhe Daily News: 1t is very serious news
and gives the greatest Importance To the
appointment of Sir William Lockhart to
succeed Sir George White as commander-in-
chief in India on the latter'S retirement,
which has just been officially announced.
There is little doubt that his name Will be
heard with dread by the insurgcnt tribes

is exempliffed by the statement OF the trus-

The st. James Gazette says, on the same
subject: The scheme seems TO be knocked
on the head for the present. but the recep-
tion of even this feeble announcement in
the city will have an effect anything but
favorable to the bimetalists. A substan-
tial element of Indignation arises at the
feeling that the government and the bank
have been doing little diplomacy at our
expense. and for the advantage OF Amer
leans. The United States has done nothing
to make such risky polteness TO the sill

Meridian Refuses to Let Trains from
Vicksburg Pass Through.
vICKSBURG, Miss, Sept 1.-THE follow
ing resolutions were passed by the Board
of Health of this city last night:
Resolved, That we most emphaticalIv
condemn the action of the Meridian an
thorites, who, in utter disregard of the
dictates of humanity, have refused to allow
Alabama q Vicksburg trains to pass
through that city, these trains taking Wo-
men and children seeking refuge from the
danger which menaceS them here. This ac-
ton deprives the stricken town of Edwards
and other points along the road from oh
other articles necessary to their comfort.
We respectfully ask the Governor of the
State to call out the National Guards and
suppress such lawless and inhuman demon
strations.
The resolutions are signed by the physi-
clans of Vicksburg, as well as the members
of the Board of Health. A message from
Superintendent o. Clark, of the Mobile &
Ohio. demonstrating TO the Board of Health
against the order of the board stopping
trains into Meridian was answered by the
anything in reason, but Meridian must obey
the laws of the State and recognize the
authority of this board and trust in its
discretion"
A dispatch from Meridian says: Merid-
ian is still free from yellow fever and
there Is no suspicious case of any kind in
the city. over half the population has left
for the country and business is completely
suspended. Theirs is an intense feeling here

CHEERS In A CHURCH.
Sermon of Rev. u. II. Sweeney Ap-
plauded by MissOurians.

COLUMBIA. Mo-, Sept. T-There was a
most remarkable scene in the First Chris
tian Church in Columbia night before last
when, during sermon, the entire congre-
CATION gave approval by shouts and loud
applause. The sermon was by Rev. q. 7.
Sweeney, OF Indiana, formerly United
States consul at Constantinople. 1t was the
annual opening sermon of the Missouri
Bible College and had for it's subject, God
and His Revelation" During his sermon
DR.. Sweeney compared the effect of the
Koran and the Bible upon the lives of men.
Incidentally, he said: God hasten the
time when the bloodthirsty Turk will be
civilized over the face of the earthr' A
ripple of applause greeted the remark
which suddenly grew into a roar, in which
even the gray-haired preachers in the pull
said May the Spaniard be speedily wiped
off the American hemisphere" there was
another wave of applause that made the
great stone church building resound.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Bank of England stockholders
Threaten to Sell Their Holdings.

Threaten to Sell Ehe1r Holdings.
LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE letter of the
governor Of the Bank of England strength
ems the impression among the bankers that
the government intends to accede to the
bimetallic proposals later, and it is also in
terpreted as a reply to a request from the
government to the bank asking the latter
to cooperate with the former. Bat it is
thought that the fall in the price of silver
since the letter was written may change
the programme. There IS considerable dis
satisfaction on the subject among the
stockholders of the Bank Of England. Rob-
ert Benson, a prominent banker, who holds
$4,000 Of stock as trustee, has notified the
bank that he will sell if the silver policy is
inaugurated, and ne adds that other trus-
tees viii do the same.
The Westminster Gazette this afternoon
in its financial article, comments upon the
letter of the governor of the Bank of Eng
land, Mr. Hugh c. Smith, to the chancellor
Of the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-B
announcing that the bank is prepared TO
carry out what is permissible in it's char
ter, namely-to hold in silver one-ffth Of
the bullion held against it's note issues
provided, always that the French mint is
again opened to the free coinage of silver
and that the prices at which silver IS pro-
durable and salable are satisfactory. The
newspaper mentioned saws: Although the
governors statement is perhaps meaning
less as far as practice is concerned il is TO
be deeply deplored that the bank has
budged from its principle; 1t is not digniiied
for the Old Lady of Threadneedie street
to nirt with the bimetallc faddists. We
want gold against our notes, and there is
no reason why old statute, passed when
should be refurbished at the bidding Of
those who want 70 dispose of silver. The

CAMP ANAYAT, via Pankajora, Sept. II.
p. m.-Severe fighting has taken place
between the Second Brigade of General Sir
Bindon Blood's division and the Mohmands.
The British loss was 140 Killed and wound
ed The brigade had moved out to attack
the Mohmands in the valley north of the
camp, to punish them for the assault Tues
day night on the force of General Jeffreys
at the foot of Rewat Pass. sThe Bengal
Lancers found the enemy entrenched on
the hills about eight miles distant. The
Thirty-fifth Sikhs was ordered to make the
attack. The regiment was supported by
four guns of mountain battery and by
six companies of Bluffs. The Sikhs drove
the enemy into the hills, but eventually fell
back upon the Bluffs before superior num-
bers.
The enemy then advanced against the left
flank drove back the cavalry and sur
rounded a company of Sikhs. The cavalry
charged brilliantly and relieved the Sikhs,
and the guides, coming up, swept the enemy
back. The force halted for some time, de-
stroying the enemy's towers and then re-
tired.
A company of Sikhs ON the hills to the
extreme right was hard pressed and was
running short of ammunition when the
general officer commanding moved the
guides forward to their relief, which was
gallantly accomplished. The guides car
ried the wounded Sikhs back and executed
the withdrawal in good order though the
enemy pressed them hard. Darkness came
on before the force reached the camp, and
the guides, with General Jeffreys and his
escort of Bluffs. became separated from the
column, which passed them in the gloom.
General Jeffries remained with the guns
and took up a position in a village. The
enemy had occupied a part of the village
and the force not being strong enough to
expel them, they had inflicted considerable
loss on the little party before Major Wort
lidge, with two companies each composed
of Sikhs and guides, Games up and COM

BERING SEA CONTROVERSY.
Enough Correspondence on the Sub
jcct to Fiji Big Book.

Jcct ~ Dig HOOK
LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The Times this
morning publishes the gist of the corre-
spondence between Secretary Sherman and
Lord Salisbury in the Bering sea contro-
versy. The book covers period beginning
with 1895 and ending with July 80 of the
present year. Altogether there are 107 dis
patches, which show that the United States
has pressed for revision since January,
1895. The Times remarks: Though Mr..
Sherman so far forgot himself as to sign
the famous dispatch, we cannot suppose
that he actually wrote it," only the con-
cluding paragraph of the dispatch is re-
published all the terms deemed dis
courteous being omitted. The Times adds:
Lord Salisbury wisely refrained from
answering the dispatch in detail. He con-
fined himself to imparting a short note to
ambassador Hay, dated July 29, 1897, stat
ing that the government was willing TO
agree to a meeting of the experts in Octo-
Der, preferably in Washington, and that
other questions of Mr. Sherman's dispatch,
in so far as they required any reply from
her Majestys government, had been
answered by anticipation in dispatches he
