General Kttchener's Army Deals a
Deathblow to Mahdism.

~
Gen. Sir Herbert Kitchener, with the
khalifa's black standard, captured during
the battle, entered Omdurman, the capital
of Mahidham. at 4 o'clock Saturday after
o o at the head of the Angly- Egyptian
column, after completely routing the der
wishes and dealing a deatllblow to mahd-
ism. The British losses were 900, while
thousands of the dervishes were killed or
wo ldcd.
The present situation in the Soudan is
the outgrowth' of the fall of Khartoum
and the death of Gordon and the massacre
of Hicks army. The Soudan, formerly
belonging to Egypt, was taken by the
mahdi and Gen. Gordon, the governor,
was put to death. That was in 1855, and
no a moment since then has the British
public or the British government rested
satisfied with the Soudan in the hands of
the mahdists.

Mckinley Visits Santiago Heroes
President Mckinley spent five hours at
Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Saturday,
bareheadcd most of the time, visiting the
sick in the hospitals and inspecting the
we'll in their environments. He made a
speech to the assembled i%nfantrymen, re-

Gen. Eagan. commissary of the army;
Brig. Gen. ~I4uddington, quartermaster of

officer of prominence in the camp met tile
president at the station, except Gen. SHAFT
ter, who is still in the detention hospital,
and Gen. Young who fell and broke his
arm Friday.
When seemingly all the wards of the
general hospital had been gone through
and the president Was about to get into a
carriage Attorney General Griggs detained
him.
"Miss Wheeler has told me-" said he,
"of a Lieut.. Prade, who is in a tent back
here by himself, and he is in a dying con-
ditien. He has asked about your coming,
and Miss Wheeler has promised that you
shall see him"
; "Certainly. Let US go to him." Mr.. Nc
Kinley said. Tho others of the party
discreetly remained outside the tent. The
president rcappeared with the nurse 9
minute or two later. His eyes were moist
and downcast.
The presidential party then went down
to the station and left on a special train at
1859 for Vice President IIobart's home.
On the train Mr.. Mckinley made this
statement:
81 was very much pleased TO meet the
heroes of Santiago and TO observe their
splendid spirit. What l saw of the sick
in the hospitals and those in charge of the
noble work, was very gratifying to me-"

BLOWN UP eY a TORPEDO.
River Steamer Destroyed While

1t1vcr destroyed While
Mines Are BEING Removed.
A New Orleans dispatch says that the
steamer John E. Meigs was destroyed
Saturday by an explosion at st. Philip.
She had aboard Lieut.. Juarey aud party
engaged in removing the torpedoes laid in
the Mississippi River during the Begin
ming of the war. Lieut. Juarcy had u mar
row escape. Capt. Starr was in charge of
the ship. Sergeant John Newman aud
Ralph Rogers were slightly injured.
The government engineers had been un-
able TO recover the mines and torpedoes
from shore .by means of the cables to
which they had been attached, owing to
the fact that the sand in the river had
weighted them down and caused the cables
to part. On this account a crew was or
dercd down on the Meigs TO grapple for
the mines and bring them TO the surface.
The crew had almost completed the work
when the accident occurred. The Meigs
sank out of sight in deep water.

PEooLeR LAW KNOCKED OUT
The Supreme Court Has Declared
It UMconstitutional.

An0 supreme Court Has Declared
1t Unconstitutional.
The supreme court has handed down an
opinion In the case of the Slate VS.. Chas.
II. Rankin declaring unconstitutional the
law passed by the last legislature require
Ing all %canvassers for business houses out
Of the state to take hi a license. The de-
PENDANT, Rankin, represented a Minne-
apolts tailoring company, who was ar.
rested something 0ver a year ago for So
letting orders without taking out a license.
The lower court sustained the law which
the supreme court has now declared un.
constitutional. The court In its opinion
says:
"Whilc the license tax is apparently
imposed upon tho travelling agent regard
less OF the mount of business transacted,
the irresistible effect Of the law as applied
to this case is to regulate commerce be-
tween states by compelling q Minneapolis
firm to pay in advance for the privilege of
attempting to procure customers in one of
the counties OF the state. Decisions too
numerous to justify citation, holding that
interstate and foreign traffic is entirely cX-
empt from such q tax, regardless of the
method Of imposition, are grounded upon
the doctrine that Il state has 10 power un-
der the constitution to burden such COM
merce either by way of a direct tax uYon
the subject matter or by requiring those
engaged in the occupation Of soliciting
orders therefor to be fulfieL by SOME per-
son residing within another state, to pay a
license for such privilege.
1--WE find that commerce among the
states consists Of traffic between their in
habitants and includes the purchase md
sale OF commodities through the agency of
persons employed to solicit orders by tho
use Of samples, and tie power to license
and regulate such business in congress
exclusively. Our conclusion, therefore,
is that the enactment under consideration,
US applied by the court below TO plaintiff
in error, is unconstitutional and void.
