bic. He died at the Retreat for the Sick

At the time it was thought the injuries
would heal. but a few days ago symptoms
became manifest which alarmed the ply
sicians, who had the patient removed TO
the Retreat for the Sick. Here he was
given every attention by nurses and doc
tors
So serious did the wound become
that amputation OF the arm was
discussed. The advanced age Of the
patient. however, caused the physicians
to forego resort TO the knife. They en-
deavored TO heal the wound. but without
avail. and it finally eliminated in death
at the hour stated.

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-The stock market
was depressed in the opening dealings
chiefly because Of the common expecta-
tions that tomorrow's bank statement
would show a material reduction in SUI plus
reserve. The views in this regard were
based upon the known monetary develop
ments of the week. the most conspicuous
feature Of which has been tbs loss of about
81, 500, 600 by the banks to tie subtreasury.
The London market for American stocks
was shown at declines and the other quar-
ters Of the market were reported some
what unsettled on account Of the absence
of any definite news from South Africa.
The Tobacco stock continued the weakest
feature Of the market. Union Pacific was
also heavy on the absence of any confir-
nation Of the reports current at the close
Of business yesterday. Northwestern, on
the other hand, while not actively dealt in.
was firm.
The dealings In the granger shares and
other standard issues were generally af-
fected at fractional declines, and trading
thereafter was wholly wanting in anima-
tion.

THE KHALIFA ABDULLAH.
Downfall of the Leader of the SOu-
dan Dervishes.
(From the Baltimore SUM


(From the Baltimore SUM
The Khalifa AbduIlah, as the religious
head Of the Soudan dervishes. has kept
alive their intense zeal and prolonged the
resistance to British supremacy in the
Soudan. Now that he is out OF the way, it
is expected that this resistance will quick
ly collapse.
He was fifty-eight years old. and his full
name was Abdullah bin Mohsmmed Jaa-
ishi; for he belonged to he Jaaisha tribe,
and the final IA is always turned into an
''i'' to form the surname for all members
of the tribe. This is a section of the much
larger and more powerful cow-keeping
tribe of the Baggara from Southwestern
Darfur
When Ell Mahdi, the founder of the re-
ligion which the Khalifa kept in existence.
first declared himself a prophet, he nomi-
mated three Khalifas-Abdullah. Ali Wad
Helu and Mohammed Sherif-who were TO
succeed him in this order il they survived.
The Mahdi died from disease six months
after the capturing Of Khartoum and the
death of Gordon, and on his death Abdul
lab succeeded, as arranged.
From the moment he took over the reins
of government Abduliah did everything in
his power to increase his personal aseen-
dancy and make ii hereditary in his family.
The mutinous Ashraf, who were related TO
the Mahdi, offered him a welcome pretext
for composing their downfall. and he did
not hesitate to possess himself Of the black
troops belonging to both his rival kahlifas.
Abdullah's pride and confidence in his
own powers were boundless. He firmly be-
lieved that he was capable Of doing any
thing and everything, and he pretended tc
act under divine inspiration.
For time his sway over the Soudan was
maintained by swarms of his soldiers, but
his cause received its greatest blow Septem-
ber 2, 1898, near Omdurman, the capital OF
the Eastern Soudan, where an Anglo Egyp-
tian army of $4,000 men. led by Gen. Si-
Herbert Kitchener. encountered the army
Of the Kahlifa, 5000 strong. OF the der
wishes $1,000 were killed. over 11.000
wounded, and 5000 we're made prisoners.
the entire Anglo Egyptian loss being not
over 400.
After the battle of Omdurman the Kahlifa
escaped with his harem and Osman Digna
and sought to re-establish his empire. He
managed to prolong his resistance little
over a year, but has never been able since
to collect an army that would seriously
threaten British supremacy.

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. Son account OF
the bubonic plague it is very likely the To-
cal authorities will ask the Federal Gov
srnment TO reopen the Cape Charles sta
tion, as a precaution against the possible
introduction Of the disease. A telegram
received here yesterday intimated the prob
ability OF an attempt by the steamship Ro-
man Prince. from Santos, Brazil. to enter
here. This called for the most emphatic
statement from DR.. F. s. Hope, State quar-
antine officer, and the local health authori-
ties, that under no circumstances would
any psstship be allowed to enter this har-
bor
