NO DECISIVE NEWS.
severe Fighting Imminent on the
Indian Frontier

BOMBAY, Sept. 2.-There is no de-
cisive news from anywhere along the
frontier this morning. The centers
OF interest are Hangu and Shabkadar,
where serious fighting is Imminent.
The second regiment of Gourkhas,
with Brig.-Gen. Yeatman-Biggs and
his staff, has arrived at Hangu. There
the camp, which was opened and
scattered, has been transformed into a
defensible position, surrounded by
sheltered trenches and breast works
of earth bags. The camp has also
been well supplied with stores and
ammunition. According to reliable re-
ports, there are 10, 900 hostile Orakzais
on the hills surrounding Hangu. Gen.
Yeatman-Biggs has with him a noun
tain battery, the Royal Irish regiment
and five native regiments.
The Eighteenth Bengal Lanciers and
the Ninth Field battery are at Ship
wari, to cut off the retreat Of the
enemy Advices from Shabkadar say
that the Haddah Mullah is threaten
ing the front of hat place where the
enemy has collected in great numbers.
Col. Mills, who is in command at
Shabkadar, has at his disposal the
Twentieth Punjab infantry, the Thir-
ty-ninth Gourkhas, the Thirteenth
Bengal Lanciers, a battery Of field
artillery and a wing of the Somerset
shire light infantry. The balance OF
the Somersetshire regiment and the
T~Wenty-sixth Punjab infantry are on
their way to reinforce Col. Mills at

The whisI.erIess Craze.

The whiskerless craze is still sweeping over
the country, says the Mail and Express:.it
and takes no note of previous condition. Whis-
kers continue to fall on the highways and
the byways of the nation. Lip and chin and
hair of every hue and degree of beauty and
ugiiness, are laid bare before a mocking or
an admiring world, and the owner meets his
interpreted as meaning, What do you think
of me now? Am l not ten years younger?
and several times handsomer? Why don't you
ask me what l have done to myself? This
shaving mania constitutes one of the most
curious of latter day concessions TO fashion
If fashion 1t be. Men who have worn boards
for forty years are shedding them, regardless
of the beauty or u~gliness, the strength or
weakness of mouth and chin and jaw. Why
is it? Is Maj. Mckinley, the first smooth
faced president since Andrew Johnson, setting
the pace? If so a majority of men would
do well to copy his character rather than his
method Of welding q razor.

INTO A CREVASSE.
Alpine Party of Four Members
Killed by anaAvaIanche.


BERNIE, Switzerland, Sept. 2.-Advic-
es from La Sale, near Mont Pleureur,
show that the reports of an accident
to a party of Alpine tourists in that
vicinity were not exaggerated. Eight
persons started from Sion, capital of
the canton of Valais, to ascend Mont
Pleureur. The latter is 1856 feet
high, and is not1a very difficult ascent.
The tourists were led by Pastor CONN,
of Sion, and they made the ascent
divided into two parties of four each.
The first of these parties reached the
summit, and the second was only a
short distance behind when the four
persons composing it were swept by
an avalanche into a 1000 feet
deep. It is still hoped that some of
the tourists may be rescued. The
missing party was composed Of Pastor
Comm, two school boys from Lau-
same, and a young E~nglishman
named Bernard.

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-The dry goods sltua-
tion is still a strong one. The demand for
goods is well sustained, though not as heavy
in all grades as was the case last week.
1t is thought, however, that after the dis
tribution of goods at second hand has be-
com general recorders will be of an abnor-
mally large calibre. In staple cottons the
market is firm. Both bleached and brown
goods are in steady demand and at advanced
prices in many instances. Print cloths show
such active bidding both at Fall River and
in outside markets, but the manufacturers
refuse to part with goods at the current
quotation of 2%c and buyers are unwilling
to advance their bids. Odd goods are firm
and active in all grades.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2.-Evening Posts Lon
don financial cablegram: The stock markets
opened stagnant today, pending the question
of the Bank of England rates. When it was
known that there was no change, the market
rallied feebly, as the dealers would rather
have preferred an immediate rise than de-
fererd action The best judges, however, in
dorse the banks decision, and see no need
of an immediate rise. Americans were dull
early in the day on the lower price for some
issues on the New York Stoke xchange, but
they hardened sharply at the close, which
was firm. 1t is the belief that the rise will
be renewed at an early date. Speculative
buying here keeps mainly to the low-priced
shares. The Bank of England ends the half
year with an amount sufficient to pay a divi-
dend of 8 per cent, against the AZ per cent
of last year. On the London discount market
spot rates are unchanged, but business in
American bills to arrive three days hence, is
being done at rs per cent, as against ~
Yesterday. Large numbers of bills are still
offered. The Paris and Berlin markets were
quiet.
