The Struggle on the Nile.

The despatch up the Nile of reinforce
ments for Gen. Sir H. KITCHENER is only
one of several indications that the effort of
the Anglo-Egyptian expedition to accom-
plish the last stage of its task, the advance
from Berber to Khartoum, Is now at hand.
Another significant move is that of the
British ~gunboats up to Metemmeh, which is
plainly In the nature of a reconnaissance to
see whether the dervishes will make a stand
at that point. Shendy and Metemmeh are
opposite each other, the former on the right
n the latter on the left bank of the river,
and there may be expected harder work
h q any In the campaign thus far.
simultaneously we hear of a northward
advance Of the dervishes from Khartoum,
which has caused Gen. KIToHENER's force,
concentrated at Berber, to be on the alert
for attack. Probably they would like moth
Ing better han that the decisive battle
should be fought at Berber. for there they
would not only have intrenchments, behind
which their superior weapons could mako
havoc among their ASSISTANTS. but their
front and rear could also be covered by the
fire from the ~flotilla, while in case of a dis.
aster, not now really to be looked for, they
could the more easily drop down the Nile

But II the Khalifa's forces have learned
anything from their experience in Lord
WoLsELEY's campaign, they will await the
advance of Gen. KITCHENER, and attack
him on the way rather than assail the
strong position at Berber. The further
south he goes the further he is from his
base, while the dervishes will wage the de-
cisive battle nearer their own.
Y The most extraordinary feature In the
campaign thus far is that the extent and
capabilities of the Khalifa's forces are still
wholly undeveloped. The resistance hith-

er's distrust Of the shrewd tricks Of New
England and a not unwarranted suspicion
of the tendency Of college trustees, not
excepting the Harvard corporation, to turn
into channels which they prefer donations
to which clearly expressed conditions are
attached, has placed the money In the
hands Of a New York trust company, which
will turn over the income from 1t to the

by placing his money with n business

sure that 1t will be employed in presenting
the French of Paris to Harvard ears and
not used to foster the French Of Boston or

sented to the audience by the officers of the

Of the gift, will consist Of members of the

ciety. The careful exclusion of all interfer-
ence on the part Of the university authorities
is noticeable. Out of an amusing college
squabble an interesting innovation in uni
versity life has arisen, the possibility,
namely, of instruction through the students
themselves, regardless of the university
authorities, or in spite of them. 1t is a new

Not American journalism.

Tho recently completed and openly
avoved alliance between Mr.. JAMES Cor
DON BENNETT of Paris and the Government
at Madrid for the continued enslavement
of Cuba is discussed elsewhere in THE Sun
of this morning.
We get, in particular, q clear idea Of the
Interpretation which the newspaper press
of Spain puts upon Mr.. BENEFITS relations
with the Sagasta Government.
When tho present Cabinet at Madrid had
offered Rold-brick autonomy to the revolu-
tionists and patriots In Cuba 1t became
highly important, from SPANS point OF
view, to secure an organ and a mouthpiece
here In the United States in order to influ-
ence, IL possible. that American sentiment
which 10 now almost universally sympa-
thetic with the struggling Cubans and

decided to carry the war into America.

honorable to the American press in general.

New York street Name. in i4so.

According TO the first New York city directory,
which was published by David Franks and
printed by Sheppard KollocK at Wall and Wa
ter streets in 1886. there were many streets be-
low Fulton which bore names now unfamiliar TO
the business community.
Among them were:
Crown street, now known as Liberty.

erto encountered by the expedition has
been trivial. Even the fall Of Berber was
due largely TO friendly ~Soudanese, who
were apparently tired of dervish rule, and
perhaps also had their cooperation we'll
rewarded. Again, far to the southeast,
the British find their path unobstructed.
They have taken over Kassala from the
Italians without hindrance.
These facts may sometimes suggest that
the Khalifa IL an over-rated ~potentate, and
that he no longer controls q vast horde OF
fighting men like those who withstood
WoLsELBY q dozen years and moro age.
But II effective resistance should be made
at Metemmeh, the British would still be q
hundred miles from Khartoum. while above
would be another point Of defence ut ri
Hadjir. Besides, It was precisely In that
region that the dervishes made their great
stand before, inficting heavy losses on the
British Mt Abou Klea and Abou Krou. The
two severe battles fought by STEWART. It Is
true, were victories for him, though in n
the gallant young leader received his death
wound they were fought, too, against
overwhelming odds, he having only q camel
corps of $500 men, which crossed the
desert by Gakdul and Abou Klea wells to
Metemmeh, while Gen. EARLE, with an
equal force, followed the river course to
Berber. But the point Is that In those days
the Metemmeh region was treated by tho
dervishes as the one where resistance in
force must DO made for the protection Of
Khartoum.
We must expect, therefore, before the
winter is over, q joining in combat Of tho
hostile forces that will decide the fate Of
the Soudan.

The Gift to Harvard's French Club.

The G1IC TO FrenCn CIuD.
Farvard's internecine Gallo war has en-
tered upon a new stage of thrilling inter-
est. 1t was but natural to expect that
after the French departments extraordi-
nary production of "Athalie" and the
apotheosis of Prof. DE ~SUMIoHRAsT in
his hieratic robes with polychrome back
ground of Radcliffe maidens and Boston
amateurs, the Cercle Francais would
acknowledge that 1t was beaten and
subside, IL 1t did not disband. The Cercle
Francais. however, Is made of sterner
stuff. 1t has not studied its French litera-
ture and history in ain Remembering
CAMBRoNNE and the Old Guard at Water
loo, it refuses to surrender In vigorous
language. 1t keeps up the fight, and It's
latest move is novel and ingenious, intro
ducing a new factor into the problem of
American university education, and bring
ing to bear a new weapon, the use of which
may seem of questionable fairness in the
contest nov waging.
While Boston and Cambridge are still
porting over the Boston Heralds enter
prising account of the spectacle, and the
Harvard French department Is scurrying
about to collect the thousand dollars duty
imposed by the United States Government
on the beautiful costumes from Paris, the
undergraduate President of the Cercle
Francais boldly draws his check for $780,.
900, n enables the club to announce
that it will bring French lecturers to
Harvard, year after year., to the end Of
time. This year, besides professors of other
American universities, a lecturer from
Paris, a pet disciple of the great BRUNE-
THERE, fed upon and ~incubated In the Revue
des Deur Mondes, will be imported to speak
the French of Paris to Cambridge ears.
Next year will bring with 1t another real
Frenchman, and so OF forever. The en-
ployment of Partisan French in a contro-
versy carried on heretofore In that quaint
American accent not displeasing to Boston
ears" is a dangerous innovation. Should
the French department of Harvard Univer-
sity decide to make use of 1t also,
both sides might become unintelligible to
the cultured audiences that throng to their
entertainments and to the painstaking re-
porters who take down their words as they
are uttered. The Paris patois heard year
after year might make the quaint Ameri-
can accent less pleasing to the ear and per.
haps even put an end to the delightful
comptesrendus of the Boston Herald. 1t
would seem wiser for both parties to re-
strict themselves to weapons the fatal
effects OF which can be. at least, estimated.
From the educational point of view the
gift to the Cercle Francais Is noteworthy
in that 1t is made not to or through the

Now for Hawaii.

II the plans of the Committee on Foreign
Relations are carried out, the Senate will
begin the confederation of the Hawaiian
treaty this week, and continue it, in execu-
tive session, every day until the subject is
disposed Of.
Nearly five years have elapsed since, in
January, 1893, the monarchy was over
thrown in Hawaii, and q Provisional Gov
eminent established, which Immediately
asked for the annexation of the islands
to the United States. A treaty of cession
for this purpose was signed at Washington
on Feb. IA following, and submitted to the
Senate, from which body 1t was withdrawn
by Mr.. CLEVELAND on March 8. The hos
tility of the Cleveland Administration,
taking the form even Of an unsuccessful
attempt to resstablish the throne in Hawaii,
put an end to the annexation project for
four years; but it was revived as soon as
President MCKINLEY came into Office, and
on June 10. 1897, a new treaty was signed
at Washington, the one now to be consid-
cred by the Senate.
We have, therefore, the fact hat the an
nexation of Hawaii has been before the
country for a period of five years, and that
during a large part of this time it has been
discussed both in and out of Congress. In.
deed, our first project of annexation, also
proposed by Hawaii, but for various rea-
sons postponed, dates back more than forty
years, while the virtual dependence of
the people of Hawaii upon the benevolent
protection of the United States" as Presi.
dent MCKINLEY has phrased 1t. dates back
seventy years.
Thus the ultimate union of Hawaii's
political destiny with ours has been an idea
familiar to us for generations. Every
phase of the question has been examined
since 1893, and during this same period
the republic of Hawaii, a peaceful and
orderly community, has demonstrated its
right to make the present treaty. The
task now before the senate need not
be difficult or protracted. Details may re-
quire careful discussion, but there should
be no doubt regarding the main plan.
With the great possibilities of the Pacific
rs q highway of the nations daily unfold.
ing to all eyes, this Incompatible halfway
station, with Its strategic and commercial
advantages, should certainly be ours.
