COPYING FALL or MAHDISM.
Europe Wants fO Know What Will Be
 Done After DerviSheS Arc Smashed.

London, Sept. 3-Very tardily the London newspapers are beginning to ask questions concerning General Kitchener's plans after the Dervishes are smashed at Omdurman. The peo- pie here are likely, to wait another week before they learn. The Sirdar IS not going to bolt back to Cairo after doing what he sets out to do as Vol seley did in 1885 after failing in his task
 The Daily News charactcristically observes, being the organ Of the politi- cal party which deserted Gordon, that the motto for the occasion is surely: "Be not too bold,' and timorously re- minds the timid that King Menelek, jealous, angry. and perplexed with the fear of change, will be on the flank of any British or Egyptian force moving as far south as Khartoum. But all this has been foreseen British plans are based upon an amicable deal with King Menelek, and, failing that, he will be fought, not this year possibly. nor next year, but sooner or later.
 Unless General Kitchener unexpect- edly bellies his record, he viii be in Omdurman by September 5. Thereaf-
 ter there will be likely to be plenty o. material for the speculations ana alarms of the political quidnuncs. AL ready there are rumors that when the
 n Y the Dervishes and occupied Omdurman and Khartoum the French and Russian governments will automatically in |quire England's intentions It is even rumored that France and Russia have jointly guaranteed the independence of Abyssinia and warranted King Men elek against attack from any quarter. with the consequent necessity of In- forming England that her advance fur ther south will constitute a menace to their protege. But this would be has tening things unduly, as the Daily News remarks.
 The Sirdar is generally believed tc have a plan up his sleeve Diplomacy is not likely to make move until the plan has begun to peep over Genera: Kitchener's cuff.
 A dispatch to the Central News from Wady Hamed camp, fifty-three miles, from OmGurman, tells of a striking desert scene on the bank of the Nile
 at that place last evening, when a horde Of Jaalins and other friendly na- tives paraded with their commander, Major Stuart Wortley, before Kitchen er. The friend1ies were elated over the prospect of revenging themselves upon the Dervishes. In their parade 1 they executed some strange and pie turesque evolutions. sweeping across | the ground in circular formation, amid | the deafening noise of numberless tom- toms, and concluding with a war dance Then the stalwart tribesmen impress sively marched past in single file and sal'lted the Egyptian flag. against
 which they had fought for years. l A squad of camelmen armed witt.
 double-edged crusader swords of obvi-
 ous antiquity also executed evolution. equally strange and interesting. All
 of, the natives gave unmistakable. evi-
 dences of their devotion to Major Wortley, who expressed himself as de- 1 lighted with the splendid physique and
 warlike appearance of his men, whose
 ranks were continually swelling by the
 arrival of recruits from the interior,
 including many from Omdurman.

vised that simplicity, durability, and
cost are the principal elements TO be con
sidered, and that the present movement
is intended, primarily, TO secure an i'm
provement I'm the class Of post-marking
stamps now supplied TO the smaller post
offices. A working model accompanied by
full description Of each device should be
sent to the department, Division Of POST
office Supplies, marked Committee on
Stamp Devices Inventors cannot be ad-
vised in relation to the advisability Of
obtaining patents; they must decide that
matter for themselves. The committee
will, however consider all devices as con-
fidential, and not allow them to be in
spected by the public"
The American inventive genius prompt
ly responded and by January LIST about
$50 models Of new or improved designs
were submitted These have been care
fully considered by the committee, and
their report is now before the Postmaster
General. A new contract for a superior
stamp will probably be made at an early
date.
EXPERIMENTS WITH CANcELLING
INK.
Experiments covering a period OF many
months have been made at this Office with
various cancelling inks, which have clearly
demonstrated the fact that the greater
part of the difficulty in securing legible
postmarking and effective cancellation or
postage stamps has been due to the
quality OF cancelling ink. The present
contractor is now furnishing a new kind
OF ink, which seems to meet the require
ments OF the service, and judging from
the reports received, from offices where
it has been tested, will do much towards
securing the desired reform.
The ordinary annual appropriations for
stamps, inks, and pads is not sufficient
to re-equip the entire service at once.
Congress has, however, recently made
deficiency appropriations OF $l5O0O, 70
be Immediately available, which viii en-
able me to do much in that direction with
out delay Special attention will be given
to offices where it is shown that legibie
postmarking cannot be done with the
present outfits.
I have established division whose spe-
clal duty It is to look after this branch
OF work, and the public is cordially In
vited TO cooperate with this Office by
submitting evidence of unsatisfactory
postmarking or back-stamping wherever
postmasters or other postal employees
have failed to comply with the published
and regulations.

Mrs. Davis's Residence.
New York Tlmes.)


A Georgia friend, who recently called
upon Mrs. Jefferson Davis at her home
In this city, is quoted by the Macon Tele-
graph as saying that Mrs. Davis Is
deeply panied by the constant criticism
she receives from southerners who object
to her choice Of the North as q place Of
residence. The explanation Of her course
has often been given. but It seems TO be
impossible 10 silence these impertinent
busybOdies, and this fact might reason
ably be taken as a new illustration OF the
righteousness Of excusing that which
needs no excuse. Surely, an American
citizen is under TO obligation to tell from
what motives Of interest or convenience
he or she lives In any particular part Of
the country. This friend OF Mrs. Davis
thinks otherwise, apparently, for he re-
counts in minute detail just why she
abandoned" the South. The plantation
at Beauvoir, he says on account Of floods
and the low price Of cotton, no longer
supplies an income sufficient for the main
tenance OF Mrs. Davis and her daughter.
This rendered II necessary for them TO
earn money. and, being able to do so
only by writing. they began TO look about
for purchasers OF their productions
"They made repeated efforts to dispose
of their work IN the South, but found the
demand very small. there being practi-
cally no market for literary work in the
South. as all OF the big publishers and
newspapers are in the North consequent
ly. It became necessary TO move to one of
the large cities, and they selected New
York There they find ready market
for all OF their productions. and the in
come thus derived. together with the small
income from the Beauvior plantation,
affords them a comfortable living. The
Joint income from the literary work OF
Mrs. Davis and Miss Winnie last year
was 5000. Mrs. Davis earning $780, and
Miss Winnie 81 200"
