THE EGYPTIAN WAR
Advance Begun Which Will End in
Victory


WADY HAMED. Aug. A.-The whole
Anglo-Egyptian expedition has arrived
here and the advances is now commencing
to Ell Hafid, where final concentration will
be made for the march on Omdurman, four
miles distant, which will occupy four days,
If the khalifa decides to await attack at
Omdurman, as now appears likely. Refu-
gees are arriving daily from Omdurman.
They all agree that the khalifa means TO
fight. They report that he has 10000 men.
The attack is expected to occur about
September 4. Our camp of 10000 men, ex-
tending three miles, with the white gun
boats and an innumerable fleet Of native
boats, presents picturesque sight tonight.
Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener's achievement
so far Is a brilliant operation. Some weeks
ago he announced his intention to concen-
trate his forces at Wady Hamed on August
q. He arrived there today. Wady Hamed
is village forty miles above Metammeh
and between fifty and sixty miles from
Omdurman. 1t is at the foot Of the long
sixth cataract, the head of which is at
Chabaluka. Considering the difficulties OF
moving $4,000 men and impedimenta over
the desert and along the Nile under blaz-
ing sun, the achievement is proof Of the
splendid organization of the expedition and
augurs we'll for the final overthrow of the
khahfa's power
Maj. Gen. Archibald Hunter commands
the Egyptian forces, which comprise two
thirds of the expedition and which critics
agree now form a capital fighting material.

Associated Press Special Wire


DENVER, August 26.-A basket picnic
was held this afternoon and tonight at
Elitch's garden under the auspices of the
leaders of the Populist party Of Colorado.
At the meeting this afternoon Senator
Marion C. Butler of North Carolina, ma
tional chairman Of the Peoples party. was
the principal speaker.
Senator Butler. devoted most OF his ad-
dress to urging cooperation between his
party and all other friends Of silver In the
coming campaign. He said the worst enc
mics of the silver cause were those who
were trying to divide Its friends because
they differed on other questions. He talked
at length on trusts. He claimed that the
greater number of trusts owed their exist
ence to the gold standard. Free silver. he
said, by increasing the volume of money,
raising prices and increasing business.
would rapidly drive trusts to the wall.
Nearly all other trusts, he said. were de-
pendent upon private ownership of means
Of transportation and communication.
He said both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties had claimed to be the enemies
of trusts. and both had enacted antitrust
laws. Still trusts prospered as they never
did before. The Populist party proposed
to abolish trusts by removing the causes
that produced them.
He urged the friends of silver in all
parties to work together, and declared that
there was great danger Of the division of
silver forces in North Carolina resulting
in the election Of gold standard congress-
men from that state this fall.
Senator Butler declared that the nation
needed big navy, and said he would vote
for one, but declared that the work of the
volunteers in Cuba and the Philippines
proved that large regular army is ont
necessary,
Hon. Jerry Simpson Of Kansas was the
principal speaker at the night meeting. He
congratulated the Peoples party on Its
progress, and the fact that many Of its
creeds had been adopted by the Democrats,
and were even becoming popular with mem
bers of other parties. He had no regard
for mere party name and cared only for
the principles 1t stood for. He believed
1t the duty Of Populists to Join with all other
friends Of free silver to secure the party's
aims in that respect, and then go on in the
fight for the other principles OF the party.

facilities In rural districts"
w. s. Wood of the National Bank OF
Commerce of Kansas City, Mo-, condemned
the ideas advanced in Mr.. Royals address
from first to last. He declared that the
West had seen enough of currency issued
by local banks. The banking business, he
asserted, was highly developed all over
the country. In the East large commerce
had led to the establishments of banks of
large capital, while in the West smaller
commerce had been satisfied with smaller
banks.
In the West banks were too plentiful.
Competition had been so excessive that
the banking business = not profitable, and
consequently, in many cases. not safe. He
advocated the branh bank system as the
remedy for the trouble. Large city banks
absorb little country banks; then . pie
thora of money could not exist in one To-
cality while an unsatisfied demand existed
