Of Europe laugh Numerically. Why, then,
we may we'll ask, all thus passion, all this
national effervescencr, all this perpetual
suspicion? M. MeIine the Prime Minister,
avldrnlIy knows n great deal which he Is
determined to keep secret. He .cFuseS q
public trial OF rotriaI Of The prisoner - the
vrOnnd that the whole affair is extremely
delicate. Again he confesseS th't publicity
might bring on unforeseen national difficult
Ties. Is Kaiser William then really impll-
Gated in the business? 1t not. where DO the
national difficulties come in? The speech
of General Billot, the War Minister, is
equally unsatisfactory. He declares that
he believes Captain Drey fus was regularly
and fairly tried. Other people don't believe
it. They allege, without contradiction, that
Captain Dreyfus never saw many OF the
documents used as evidence against him.
When he asked to see them the reply was
that he knew quite we'll what they were.
Such is apparently lho French view Of the
law of evidence. Anything. however, seems

In one form Of blood poisoning the disease
is due to the absorption from the wound Of
small quantities Of the chemical products Of
putrefuction as before mentioned; md under
early aud appropriate treatment This form
Of blood poisoning is very seldom fatal.
When, however, the quantity Of these clemi-

slight wound of the skiu, have died within a

The evidence given varies very little III

that the wound was originally of the most

London. Sept h-A message from
Omdurman. opposite Khartoum, on
the Nile, Nubia, under date Of Septem-
Der 9, says:
The sirdar, Gen. Sir Herbert kltch-
ener, with the khalifa's black stand
ard, captured during the battle, en-
tered Omdurlhan. the capital OF NAH
diam, at four o'clock this afternoon,
at the head Of the Anglo Egyptian
column, after completely routing the
dervishes and dealing death blow to
Mahdam. Roughly our losses were
200, while thousands OF the dervishes
were killed and wounded.
Last night the Anglo Egyptian army
encamped at Apaiza, eight miles from
Omdurman. The dervishes were three
miles distant. At dawn to-day our
cavalry. patrolling toward Omdurman'
discovered the enemy advancing to the
attack in battle array, chanting war
songs. Their front consisted OF infan-
try and cavalry, stretched out for
three or four miles. Countless ban
ners Auttered over their masses and
the copper and brass drums resounded
through the serried ranks OF ting saw
age warriors, who advanced unwaver'
inQly with all their old-time ardor.
Their attack developed on our left,
and in accordance with their tradl'
tional tactics, they swept down the
hillside with the design Of rushing
our flank. But the whitening tire
maintained for Is minutes by all our
line frustrated the attempt, and the
dervishes baked, swept toward our
center, upon which they concentrated
q fierce attack. A large force OF horse
men, trying to face continuous
hail Of bullets from the Cameron
highlanders, the Lincolnshire repl'
ment and the Soudanese, were literally
swept away, leading to the withdrawal
Of the entire body, whose dead strewed
the field. The bravery Of the dervishes
can hardly be over.estimated. Those
who carried the flags struggled to
within q few hundred yards Of our
fighting line, while the mounted emirs
absolutely threw their lives away in
bold charges.
De6antly the dervishes planted
their standards and died beside them.
Their dense masses gradually melted
to companies and the companies to
driblets beneath the leaden hail.
Finally they broke and fed, leaving
the field white with Jibbah.clad
corpses, like snowdrift dotted
meadow. At ll:l5 the sirdir ordered
an advance, and our whole force in
line drove the scattered remnant OF
the foe into the desert, our cavalry
cutting off their retreat to Omdurman'
A dispatch from Gen. Kitchener,
dated Saturday evening, says; The
remnant of the khalifas force has
surrendered, and have now q very
large number of prisoners on my
hands. Our cavalry and gunboats are
still pursuing the khalifa and his
chiefs, who with only about lao fight
ing men, are apparently making FOL
kOrdofan."
