OCCUPATION OF sHENDY.

Shendy, which has been occupied by the
Anglo-Egyptian Nile expedition, is only
one hundred miles from Khartoum, the
ostensible objective point of the eypedi-
ton. 1t is situated nearly opposite Me-
temneh. the southern terminus of the
Abu Klea road, from Korti. across the
Bayuda desert and over which part OF
Wolseley's expedition for the relief of
Gordon made its memorable march.
1t is understood that the programme
was that the Anglo-Egyptian forces were
to remain quiet at Berber, which is a
hundred miles north of Shendy, until the
rising of the Nile, but the friendly ma
tives, having gained a victory over the
Dervishes and driven them up the Nile,
an Unexpectedly favorable opportunity
was afforded the sirdar to make dash
upon and capture Shendy. Since the occu-
patton of this important strategic base a
successful attack has been made on the
Dervish camp, at Atbara. on the river of
that name, and the situation is such now
that a rush for Khartoum may, it is
thought, take place any day.
We have said that Khartoum is the os-
tensible objective point of the present
expedition. But since the news has been
received that Fashoda. four hundred
miles beyond, is threatened by the
French, it has been regarded as pretty
certain that. should the Sirdar succeed
in crushing the Khalifa, Khartoum will
take the place of a way station on the
march. The possession of Fashoda by
France would break the contemplated
continuous belt of British dominion, run
ming north and south the entire length
Of the Dark Continent, and, therefore, it
is safe to assume that the British will
make all possible haste to plant them
selves firmly at that place

}. C. WRIGHT, JR., DIES SUDDENLY.
Excitement and "A Fall Causes Con-
gesti0n of the Brain.

CHRISTIANSBURG, VA. April l.
(SpeclaL)-J. G. Wright, Jr., an insurance
man and a member OF the firm of Slau-
son Wright. general agents for Vir-
ginia of the Home Life-Insurance Com
pany, with headquarters at Roanoke. died
early this morning at the Judkins House.
Mr.. Wright arrived yesterday afternoon.
registered, and took supper at the hotel.
He Immediately went out, and did not
return until II o'clock. He then met
Mr. Frank Jackson, another insurance
man, and after short while they went
to room and drank together. Wright
became violent and tried to provoke a
difficulty with Jackson, and made so
much noise that the landlord had to in
terfere. He quieted down, but refused
10 go TO bed, and in attempting to get
back into tho office fell headlong down a
fight of stairs, striking with great force
on his head. and was unconscious for
several minutes. When he regained con-
seriousness he became very much enraged
with Jackson. and tried for some time
TO bring about a fight. Jackson avoided
the encounter as long as he could, but
finally they became engaged in a fistl-
cuff, and had several bouts, in each of
which he was knocked down by Jackson
and received several ticks In the face.
With much trouble Wright was quieted
and gotten TO his room and a physician
sent for, as he was in high state OF
excitement and could not sleep. In the
mean time he and Jackson became recon-
ciled, and after the doctor had admins
tered a potion they went 10 sleep to-
gether in the same bed. Jackson was
called about o'clock to take an early
train, and left Wright, as he thought,
sleeping. An hour after It was discovered
that he was dead. and upon examination
the doctors were of the opinion that he
had been a corpse for several hours.
Mr.. Wright was a native of North
Carolina. and his body will be taken TO
Wilmington for burial. He leaves
wife, but no children.
An inquest was held. and the jury found
that the cause of death was congestion
OF the brain. The jury exonerated Jack
son.

WHERE WILL 1T STOP.

4 day or two ago we called attention
20 the fact that the Secretary Of the In
terror has asked Congress for an addi-
tional appropriation OF over 100000 in
order 10 meet the pension account def
cheney for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1888. In the same connection the Secre-
tary stated that a continuous increase for
several years i'm the pension outlay might
be expected. His exact statement. based
upon the conclusions of the Commissioner
OF Pensions, was: "In view of the in
creasing applications for original men,
sions and for increase of pensions. thera
viii be an increase in the sum reouirod
for the payment OF army and navy non
sions for some time to come"
The Commissioner figures shou, a.,

rolls there are nearly half TINS NUMBER
,Iia,orv teaches US 20 believe that during
Tho war some thousands OF Federal sol
d,ors were killed i'm battle. and that seve-
raj thousand more died from wounds ana
disease. But granting that history Is mis-
taken. and That all individuals connected
with the United states army survived the
conflict II we make allowance for the
numher that in the natural order OF
things would have died during the thirty
three years since the war closed, 1t Will
be reasonable to conclude that there is
very little more fresh pension material
loft Al first blush this would seem to
discredit the calculations of the Secre-
tarv Of the Interior and the Commission
or of Pensions that the roll will continue
TO Increase for several years to come.
But we have taken no account of the
genius of the Republican party for rails
Ing up pensioners for political fence-build-
ing. we have quite a recent and striking
of that party's success In cul-
tiyating the pensioner crop. The Com
missioner says 'the roll Is now la4er
than at any former time: also, that IL
contained about $500 more pensioners in
1897 than In 1896, and, approximately 2Ocv0
more I'm 1898 than In 1897" That is TO say,
remarks contemporary, during the last
year of the last Democratic administra-
tion the increase was but 5000 pensioners
1 year, but under the present admins
ration II has been four times as great.

THE MILITIA STRENGTH.

The table bearing on the strength in
1897 of the militia of the United States,
just made public by the military infor-
nation division of the War Department,
also gives data respecting the number of
men liable for military duty, and facts in
regard to the appropriations company Off
GERS. encampments. mobilization, ETC.
The table is compiled from the reports
made to the department by officers de-
tailed for duty with the militia of the
several States. The authorized strength
Of the militia of the entire country, in
Guiding several States where this strength
is not limited, is 1s6,S4S, while the ag-
gregate actual strength is 1870, made
up as follows: Infantry, 1O0,179; artillery,
5055; cavalry, 1873; special troops, 2,27O;
generals and staff officers, SIS; non-com-
mssioned staff officers. 400 The total
number Of men liable to military duty in
the country is 10,37S11S. The State APP
propriations made for the maintenance of
the MILITIA in 1897 amounted TO 81 723. 564
The Virginia military fund is very
meagre, and, as we pointed out the other
day, should there be war and should the
President call upon the Commonwealth
to furnish 10000 troops say it is more
than probable that We would have to
have an extra session Of the General As
sembly in order to meet the demands of
the situation.

INVADING TEXAS.

A special from Austin. Tex, says tha'
for several days past Texas has been
treated to a general war excitement
arising from the report from the WHO
borders OF the Rio Grande that large
party of spaniards were organizing Tor
the purpose Of invading Texas In re-
talation for Americas attempted inter
vention in Cubas behalf. and with view
OF taking this opportunity OF settling me
old score that Mexico owes Texas Tor
gaining her freedom from Spanish rule
years ago.
But for one consideration we would
say let them invade. Such perform
ance would prove a little diversion OF the
conflict. II would be a picnic for the
Texans. The consideration that gives us
pause, however, Is this: The Texans
might take Il notion TO return the COM
pliment and carry the fun into Mexico.
They might conclude to pay the visit to
Mexico they are credited with having
contemplated some years ago and which,
for various and sundry reasons, they had
10 abandon; and having once tasted the
delights of the Mexican climate. they
might decide 10 stay for an indefinite
spell, according to the programme Of
the visit they didn't make. The idea of
the average Texan regarding courtesies
due Mexico are said TO be decidedly on
the charging scale.

A recent article on the Railroads as
the Great Disbursing Agents of the Coun-
try says that our roads expend in a
year sum more than s100,OO0,OOO in ex-
cess Of the total expenditures of the
United States Government, and this COM
putation does not include nearly $4,000. =
600 paid in the form of interest upon
railroad bonds or guaranteed stock and
from SSO0O0,000 to Sl0O,0OO,OO0 paid in the
form Of dividends to stockholders. The
railroads, indeed, are the great disburs-
ing agencies of the country handling
never less than a billion dollars in a
year, and disbursing it all, or practically
all, for railroads, as rule, do not keep
large bank accounts, and do practically
a cash business, turning money rapidly
An estimate, made by one of the scientific
papers a short time ago gave as the
average annual expense of American
railroads in maintaining the condition
of their road-beds, s75, 900, besides $685.
100000 for the purchase of rails. ties. and
sleepers, and 100000 for the construc-
ton of new bridges. The railroads OF
the country spent last year for fences,
signboards, signals, and watch-towers,
S.5OO00O. and for printing and adyertis-
ing, $S5O0,0O0. An estimate along a diff
ferent line is that expenses of Ameri-
can railroads for legal services amount
in a year TO about 100000, and this is.
Of course, exclusive of the sums requisite
TO meet claims for personal injuries or
damages TO property. Some of the large
railroad companies expend as much as
a quarter OF a million dollars In a year
for the settlement OF such cases on the
payment Of judgments recovered. This
item of expense on all American railroads
Is ordinarily put at about s. 100000. There
are in the United States 10000 railroad
employees-loo0o station men, 35. 900 engi-
neers, 1000 hremen and helpers. 1900
conductors and dispatchers, $500 train
men. 5000 machinists. 10000 shopmen
other than machlnlsts. 5000 telegram
operators and their helpers, 40 600 switch
men, flagmen, and watchmen. and l75.ooo
trackrnen. The daily payroll on all
American railroads combined, officers and
clerical stan included. amounts to about
s2,ooecpa daX
