PINGREE'S BILL IS BEATEN.
Lacks Two Votes of IA Majority in the
Michigan Senate.

Lansing. Mich, April .. - The dis
cussion of the Pingree railroad tax bill
in the senate caused excitement. Gov
ernor Pingree, who was on the floor,
was denounced as the prince OF Gema-
gosues" by Thompson, who in turn
was attacked by Moore, the Pingrce
leader. The bill was amended so as to
increase the membership of the board
of assesSoIs from three to five, and so
as to bring electric railway companies
within its provision. The latter amend
ment will, it is believed. result in the
defeat of the bill, a majority being
against ii.
II the bill is defeated in the senate the
legislature will have no chance to make
war appropriation. IF the federal
government is willing to allowits agents
in this state to prevent the just taxa
ton of railroads." said Pingree. then.
of course. the federal government does
not expect the people Of this state to
make appropriations for war. 1t must
intend to pay the bills itself. That's
the conclusion / draw from the visit
here OF Collectors Rich and Avery"
Later.-Pingree's bill was put to n
vote yesterday, and failed to pass the
senate by two votes. The vote, taken
at o'clock last evening. resulted
yeas, Is; nays, Is. One senator was alb
sent. and he is known to have been
against the bill. This measure passed
the house by an almost unanimous
vote.

DEEvIsuEs FIRE HEAVY. EFT HIGH
Most Brilliant EatfIe Ever Fought In the
Soudan-Notcs of tho TIGHT

The dervish fire was very heavy, but
too high. and tee British loss was NEST
ly before reaching the zariba. Colonel
Murray had his horse shot under him
and was wounded in the arm. The
enemy certainly behaved with great
bravery. The prisoners say they lost
heavily b. the bombarGment before the
advance. Some OF the enemy tried e.
break across the river at an early stage.
but were beaten back by the dervish
korsemcn. The rockets under Captain
Beatty set the enemy's camp afire ir
many places. Bashari Redi fell at the
head Of his men. Ten guns were cap
tured. The prisoners say Osman Digna
fled early during the bombardment.
The authorities call today's battle the
most brilliant ever fought in the
Soudan. everything having been car
ried straight through without a hitch
or check. While the position was shelled
by The Maxim Nordenfcldts' and
shrapnel the dervishes hardly ATTEMPTED
reply. Nothing was visible IN front
OF the position except a solitary wab-
bling camel: but i'm the trenches the
large number of mangled donkeys and
camels proved the terrific effort OF our
line. Inside the Zariba there was an
astonishing labyrinth OF earth works.
every goat seemingly having had its
own shelter and trench.
l have been all over the dervish posi-
ton, and estimate their dead at more
than 1000. The night march was as
weird as that Of Tel El Kebir. Our
troops observed a funeral silence on
nearing the enemy's zariba at Max
heiba. No smoking was permitted.
Egyptians, Soudanese ana British strove
to be first in the glorious race, and TO
be first in the attack. AS usual, several
briSaces claim the honor.
The enemy opened with such a terri
bic fire that our men were dropping on
all sides. II was as venomous a fusil-
lade as troops were ever called upon to
face. MahmOud's army is practically
wiped out. Four thousand OF his fol-
lowers have been taken prisoner and he
himself has been caught hiding in a
hole under a bed. He is a tall. digni-

PRAIRIE FIRES IN DAKOTA.
Farmers Lose Their Property and Barely
Escape with Their Lives.

Huron, s. D., April 9.-Destructiye
prairie fires swept overthe southwestern
portion of Beadle and eastern part Of
Hand counties Thursday. Losses will
aggregate $4,000 to $1,000. Some farm
ers lost their homes, buildings. mactin-
cry and stock. The town of Wessing-
ton, thirty miles west Of this place, had
close call. Charles Peck, Mosrer and
others lost their barns. The large
dwelling. barns and cattle sheds en- the
Barden farm, near washington, were
burned.
The place was occupied by II. NJ. De-
Mott and family, who barely escapod
with their lives. The burned distri,
covers many miles. and the distress
would have been much greater EXCEPT
for rain which began falling at sun
down. Much live stock was burned and
many people had Harrow escapes.

Cairo. April e.-The Anslo-Egyptian
forces under the s.rdar. General Sir
Herbert Kitchener. attacked the der
wish position at 1:l5 in the morning
and rushed Mahmoud's Zaribe, the cen
ter of his fortifications. without check.
The attack was entirely successful and
the derviskes lost very heavily.
The following account OF the fight has
been received. dated at Atbara Camp.
Nubia. April S: The s.rdar's rice rum-
berod l3.oG0 men, with twenty -four
guns, under Colonel Long. and Twelve
Maxims. The enemy left Shendy with
19.Co0 men. but they had suffered a bit
from assertions since. The enemy was
at first practically concealed under
ground in a strong zariba running
around the whole position. We left yes
terday's camp at p. m. andtivouacked
in the desert.
Carried nj the Bayonet's Point.
We reached Mahound's rositicnat n
m. today. The enemy was evidently
aware OF our approach. After an hour
OF heavy bomhar6ment the brigaGcs
were formed up ard carried the posi-
ton ct the point Of the fayonet under
tremendous fire from thu cremy. The
zariba was torn away. Ia. the enemy
chung ohstinately 10 the trenches and
were bayonetted IN them. During the
whole admirable hCmbardmcnt by
Colonel Long not a single dervish was
visible. The cavalry was now in full
pursuit, and nothing could have been
finer than the behavior Of the troops.
The sirdar tSir Herbert Ki,chener) re-
ceived a tremendous ovation after the
position was taken.
Maimoud Took Care OF Himself.
Mahmord was captured by the Tenth
SouGanese battalion. He was under
ground the whole time his men were
fighting. Osman DiGna fed as usual.
The prisoners say that Mahmoud' s force
was deserving in large numbers before
the battle. The enemy's guns. baggage.
animals and standards were captured.
Our less would have been much heavier
II the enmey had not fired high. This
will he called the battle Of Atbara. The
British and Egyptian TROOPS are stiIl
cheering each other this evening. The
river bed and the thick bush down to
the river are full Of dervish cead. Late
last night the sirdar issued orders say
ing that he was sure every man of the
force would dc his duty, but he hoped
they would eli remember God.

Startled tho Old Man.

Tho acoustics of Statuary hall in the
capitol ut Washington arc a matter Of
wonder to tourists, and many are the
tricks played upon them. An exchange
tolls Of u youth employed in one Of the
departments who vas visited by his
father F, gently and took the old gentle
maj to Statuary hall. There is a block
about. tho center Of the circular hall
where. If one stands aud faces the
north, n sound uttered from the door
way, 40 feet in the rear, seems to be
Immediately in front of this block. The
youth managed to get his father ON the
block and, attracting his attention to-
ward a statue in front, slipped to the
rear and said: "What time have you?
My watch has stopped" The father
drew out his watch and was half
through giving him the time when he
looked around and saw that be was
standing alone and that tho son was
nowhere to DO seen. He was bewildered
and looked like the man from beneath
whose coat collar tho magician has just
extracted a live goose. Presently tho
son stepped forth fxom tho pillar where
he had been in hiding, but it required
many explanations to restore tho old
gentleman's serenity.
