SLAUGHTER OF WOUNDED.
n Harsh Necessity of Warfare
Against the Dervishes.


LONDON, Sept There were no
wounded Mahdists left after the battle
OF Omdurman. Cruel and bloodthirsry
as 1t may seem, the wounded almost
without exception were massacred by
the British and Egyptian soldiers. Mas
sacred is a hard word to use, but ii is
the only one fitting. The Omdurman
battle is not the first where this has
been done. Since Gordon's death it has
been the custom, because the wounded
fanatics are more dangerous almost
than the well ones
80 many British officers and surgeons
have been killed or wounded while
passing over battleffelds in the Soudan
trying to help suffering Mahdists that
mercy and pity have given way to
necessary cruelty. This killing of the
wounded has been practiced with the
eminent, but has been kept from the
public.
How many wounded dervishes were
put to death after the battle Of ON
durham Will never be known Only one
London newspaper makes mention of
the slaughter, though a leading editor
whom L asked about 1t tonight merely
shrugged his shoulders and said: Ger
tatnly, 1t Is true; they always do 1t in
the Soudan for safety, but we shall say
nothing about 1t in our columns"
The London Standard guardedly tells
OF the slaughter as follows: Some of
the Slrdar's SOudanese were cautiously
making their way across the field of
battle, their duty being one which,
however hateful it may seem to the
theoretical humanitarian, warfare
against a savage horde like the fol-
lowers Of the Khalifa makes impera-

Incidents. 1t is enough to say that as
every one with experience Of fighting
In the Soudan knows too we'll a wound
ed Baggara may often be more DAN
gerous than a Baggara without a
scratch on him. Concealing his agony
and feigning death, he can still deal
fatal blow at his unwary enemy"

also:

the building will have to be given up to the

However, these matters do not worry the

the opening of the fall term will be one Of
pleasure.

MANY OFFICERS KILLED.
Striking Feature Of the Mortality
Record of the War

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Off
cial records Of the war department, as
far as completed, show thirty-three Of
f1cers and 231 enlisted men killed in
battle during the war with Spain.
This includes those Of the army lost
in the battles in the Philippines, as
well as those in Cuba and Porto Rico.
The percentage Of officers killed Is
strikingly large, and is said to be un-
precedented in the battles Of the world
The contrast is especially striking in
the case Of the battle Of Omdurman
where, although the loss Of life was
heavy, the list of killed included only
one officer of the British army.

NEWS OF RAILROADS
CANADIAN PACIFIC GIVES NOTICE
THAT 1T WILL RESTORE
RATES
AMERICAN LINES ADVISED


ing on for Months Comes to an
End--The Suggestions of the In
dustrial Commerce Commission to
Be Carried Out by the Line Across
the Border.
The Canadian Pacific has uncondi-
tionally surrendered. Word was re-
celVed in this city yesterday that Vice
president Shaughnessy of that rail-
way, had announced that the company
would conform to the suggestions of
the interstate commerce commission III
every particular and would on Sept. 20
restore passenger tariffs to their nor
mai basis, as they were before the rate
war opened
All railroad men in the city received
the good news with rejoicing, for it
meant not only victory for the Amer
lean lines, but prospect Of dividends,
and restoration of prosperity to every
road in the United States.
A restoration of passenger tariffs
means that the fare on the Canadian
Pacific from Boston to Seattle will be
$71.75 and $62.40; from st. Paul to Seat
tie, $50 and $40. These were the rates
in effect previous to Feb. 10 last just
prior to the KIondike cut.
Inc decision of the Canadian Pacific
will affect the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific. Those lines which
have met the cut rates Of the Canadian
Pacific will probably restore rates TO
the coast also. Orders were Issued by
the Northern Pacific yesterday not to
sell tickets at reduced rates for q date
later than Sept. 20. General Passenger
Agent Whitney is out Of the city, but
he will probably issue q similar order
when he returns.
But while the Canadian Pacific has
thus submitted to the interstate COM
merce commission railroad men are
curious to know what It means. It Is
feared that the Canadian Pacific has
something up it's sleeve for the Amer1-
can roads and at the proper time will
show its cards. The road is not In the
habit OF submitting so gracefully IN
less something IS to be gained, and the
road will be watched closely in future.
