sowing the seed in some sheltered
place late in fall. It is not likely that

Dervishes Advancing Northward.

The Warwickshire and Lincolnshire
regiments of the British army have
been ordered to start from Wady Halfa
for the frontier. The ordering of
troops to the front was occasioned by
reliable news from Omburan (the Kha-

effect that the dervishes are preparing
q northward movement. Though tho

greatest excitement prevails at Cairo.

Las Vegas, Nov. THE rush Of work

at a loss to entirely explain its cause.
Every bit of rolling stock at Albuquer-

The volume of freight and passenger
business is greater than ever before at
this season and a. larger number of men

1.-The struggle against Spain is now
ended; We commence now a more deli
cate and difficult task, namely, to make
our republican political system triumph
and to reconstruct the country.
1T is not an easy labor, and all men
who loved their country, should contrib

Most of the officers and soldiers went
into the field Obeying my orders: I can
not abandon them until their future is
assured. They have lost everything they
had, they have a right to some compen-
sation, and above all their salaries; the
new government must secure them.
Their abandonment cannot occur until
the Spaniards have evacuated; my men
cannot be abandoned without bread or
work to the mercy of their enemies A
solution could be found, perhaps, in the
plan which the American government
is said to have, of creating a native civ

offer the advantage of not exposing the
American troops to the deadly climate
of the island, and at the same time the
United States would have people who

st. Louis, Nov. 7.-Mr. N. o. Nelson,
president of the N. o. Nelson Manufactur-
ing company, is one of party of Ameri-
can men of means who are arranging to
bring TO this country a strange Russian
sect of 10000 persons. They will be col
onized in the southwest.
Associated with Mr.. Nelson in this en-
terprise are William Dean Howells, Boil
ton Hall, Ernest H. Crosby and Isaac N.
Seligman of New York, Jane Adams of
Chicago, William Lloyd Garrison of Bos-
ton and George Dana Boardman, D. D., of
Philadelphia.
Behind them all is Tolstoi the Russian
writer and social reformer His personal
friend and representative in the colonial
ton matter, Mr.. Mode, an Englishman,
has arrived in New York from the other
side and went to Rhinebeck, N. Y, as the
guest of Mr.. Crosby.
1t is a hundred years of persecution that
these Russians are anxious to flee from
before they are entirely wiped off the face
of that country. They are the Dhoukho-
borsti or Spirit Wrestlers. The sect was
is one of the strangest. They do not be-

The sect claims that a child. newly born,
is a piece of soulless matter. The soul
enters the body between the 9Th and 18th
years.
The Russian government is the abom-
ination of the Dhoukhoborsti, but the be-
levers are far from being revolutionary,
and they are said to be the most peac eable
people in Russia, abhor force, will not
fight, pay their taxes and never complain
about the amount. They use no harsh
language.
The Russian police discovered the sect
in 1850, but it was not until 1893 that prese-
cution set in. Car Paul l., in that year,
