BUT HORRIBLE TO RELATE

(copyrig4at 1898. by the Associated Press)
London, Sept l0.-The event of the week,
the capture Of Omdurman and inciden-
tally of Khartoum, by the Anglo-Egyp-
tian army under General Sir Humbert
Kitchener, has produced a feeling Of ex-
ultation throughout Great Britain, which
Is in marked contrast with the gloomy
forebodings Of the past months, during
which everyone has been finding fault
with the government and it was generally
believed that the country's rivals were
overwhelming her at every joint. The
completeness Of the victory has had a
most exhilarating effect and has undoubt-
edly impressed the continental nations,
while the cordial praise cabled from the
American press has been much appre-
ciated here.
The understanding arrived at between
Great Britain and Germany allows the
formers plans in South Africa TO be car
ried out without fear of a German-Boer
alliance, and the dismissal of Ii Hung

lowing the cars peace proposals, is taken

TOURS TO KHARTOUM

a lonS cdDded interview with Mr.. Joseph
Chamberlain the British secretary Of
state for the colonies, who is now in the
United States on a visit to his wife's
parents, has been received with incre-
dulity by the English press. The Daily
Chronicle says:
That ne should have talked Of a rail-
road through the Transvaal, from Khar-
toum to the Cape, or have disclosed the
Anglo-German understanding, or per-
formed other feats of a like description,
is beyond believing. If these stories are
true, then indeed Lord Salisbury's 'bla-
zers' are quenched fore'er in the white
light Of Mr.. Chamberlain's indiscretions."

The battles preceding the capture
