But then, if people\nwill vote big railroad subsidies, con-\nstruot costly canals and other public\nworks on credit\u00E2\u0080\u0094to say nothing of\nthe high taxation\u00E2\u0080\u0094somebody must\npay the piper, and pay day cannot\ntie eturijally postponed.\u00E2\u0080\u0094if, }'. Commercial Bulletin,\nThe New South Wales contingent\nfor the Soudan campaign consists\nof 212 artillerymen, 200 horses\nand 522 infantry. These men it is\nunderstood have sailed and their\nexpense is borne by ft patriotic fund\ncollected in tho colony. Victoria\ntenders six or seven hundred men,\nand all the other Australian colonies in liko proportion. Canada's\noffer is known, and although some\nCanadian papers may sneer they\nwill find the offer take a practioal\nshape as soon as the acceptance is\ndefinitely settled and the terms\nagreed upon. These offers from\nthe British colonies and the Dominion are the Empire's answer to\nthe intrigues of the European nations and Bismarck's bullying.\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nOttawa Free Press.\nTwo cents and a twelfth is not\nmuch to earn for making a shirt,\nand yet this is what first rato sewing girls ip New York are paid.\nHow on earth do employers think\nthat these unfortunates can live on\nsuch a pittance) Surely they have\nniuch to answer for! This is what a\nsewing girl says about it: \"I have\nsewed for a living for some time,\nand have sat up until 2 o'clock night\nafter night and can not make both\n(ew!n meet. I make shirts from 25\n.ceiiu up to 65 cents a dozen, We\nmake tlm most monoy out of the 25\ngout ones, I am considered a first\nclass sewing woiunn. for many\nweeks I only buy dry bread to eat.\"\nIt is something to wonder at what\nthese poor creatures make on the\n65 centsa-dozen-shirts if the profit\nis less than that on the others. \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 I\nhave been told that somo of the employers forco tho girU to And their\nown thread, and I know that many\nare mean and small-souled enough\nto do so. These shirts costing two\nnnd one twelfth cents for making,\nare sold for from $1.69 to ?2 each!\nand the employer grows wealthy\nand his wife and her friends, conscious of their own immaculate\nvirtue, hold those poor girls in scorn\nbecause they ore not all good. We\nweren't told half tbe hardships of\nit seamstress! life iu Hood's Song of\nthe Shirt, and yet what we do read\nthere is pretty sad.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Truth.\nIndia is one of the most beautiful\ndomains, and every inch of arable\nland is nnder the highest possible\ncultivation, although the implements\nused are the most primitive. The\ninhabitants seom to us to be a black\nrace j they are always erect in stature and havo the most beautiful\neyes of any peoplo on earth. We\ncan have no idea of what a dense\npopulation is until we see a nation\nlike the Hindoos. Euch person has\nonly 250 feet square to himself, and\nin tile northern parts the space is reduced to 150 feet, the average being\n700 people fo tho square milo. It\nis a land whero thore are no industries, so called, uo mechanical arts,\nno merchandise worthy tho name.\nWith trifling exceptions the native\nmust live off his 150 feet of ground,\nand it is estimated that the highest\naverage wages he can mako is seven\ncents a day. Deducting the cost of\nsupporting the infants, old and sick\npopulation, and tho laborer can\nscarcely earn for himself more than\nfour cents. The country has 262,-\n000,000 people,, and once seen such\na nation will haunt ono forever. It\ncosts about as much to keop a Hindoo job it does a goat and he is regarded at about the same value.\nThe problem of Christianity in that\nland is how to raiso the people up\nto the thoughts and customs whioh\nmark a Christian community. England is slowly developing an Indian\ncommerce and this may in time help\nalong the cause of Christ During\nthe famine a few years ago 6,000,-\nfJJIO poople, equal to the population\nof iTo\"-- York and Connecticut,\nstarved M death and their bones\nwero pioked up and sent to Ceylon\nto be pulverized. It is a dreary\nland of poverty and patience and a\nhandful of missionaries are trying\nto put into the human souls there\nAspirations above those of tho boast\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094Ilislio/i Foster.\nsmmesBssBBSBg\nGood Nhws !

Mnrcli \u00C2\u00ABS, 18M*\nJournalistic Etiquette.\nIt is to' i regretted that the managers of the Victoria' Colonist and\nTimes seem unable to perceive how\ntmedifying .unci repulsive uro tho\ncolumns of personal accusation\nwhich have tilled their respective\njournals during the past few weeks.\nAs newspapers tlio Colonist and\nTimes occupy a very creditable position in the province; but they\nought to know that conduct of this\nsort is neither creditable to themselves nor acceptable to the great\nmajority of their readers. We do\nnot pretend to imply that the\nColonist has had no just cause of\nprovocation ugainst the Times. It\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 has undoubtedly been grossly insulted and misrepresented. But\nthe Colonist litis insulted tlio Times\nas well, and has misrepresented it\nand put the worst possible construction upon its utterances. Both\nhave given oflence, and both have\noffended. But let them not mnke\nthe public suffer for their own lack\nof etiquette. Tlie controversy has\nbeen carried on already beyond the\nlimits of patient endurance. Let\nthem kiss und be friends, and the\nlongsuffering readers will be extremely thankful. While they both\nshow evidence of commendable enterprise as newspapers, they show\nat the same time ,a sad deficiency\nin judgment as well as etiquette.\nSquatters* Claims.\nWe understand that Mr. Geo.\nTurner, 0. E. (Woods, Turner k\nGamble), and Mr. J. C. Hughes\n(Hughes tt [Atkinson), both of\nthis city, have been appointed\nby the government to appraise the\nimprovements made by the squatters on Conl Harbor aud English\nBay property. Both these gentlemen are well known throughout\nthis district, and we are sure no\nperson will say that epithet of them\nis uot both capable and trustworthy.\nBoth of the appraisers are among\nthe pioneers of British Columbia\nand ought to bo well posted in matters of this kind. We do uot kriott*\nwhere the government could have\nfound for this work two men who\nwould have carried to it a larger\nmeasure of public confidence. The\nColumbian lids already expressed\nthe hope that the award made by\nthe appraisers would not commit\nthe province to an\u00C2\u00A3 expenditure\ngreater than the facts might justify.\nIt is not u cuse wliere consequen\ntial damages enn be thought of. If\nthere arc cases where persons have\ntaken up laud about the prospective terminus, in. ignorance of Che\nfact that these lunds were not open\nfor settlement, and with an honest\nintention to cultivate the soil, we\nare sure no one will object to the\nfullest compensation. But we want\nno recognition of speculative claims,\nor claims founded upon fraud. Of\nthis class we have a notion there\nare several. It would be most unfair to persons who refrained from\ntaking up these lands because they\nwere reserved, if they were forced\nnow to pay their proportion of the\nexpenso necessary to satisfy the\nclaims of adventurers who squatted\nthero for speculation. Tlie province\nhas already spent hundreds of dollars in consequence of tliese squatters' claims: let us spend no more\nthan is necessary iu the interests of\njustice and fairness.'\nThe. Reeve's Defence.\nIn another column wt; publish\ntwo letters from the reeve qf Surrey\nrelating to tho granting of a liquor\nlicense at Mud Bay. The second\nletter is couched in language which,\nit will readily be admitted, would\nhave fully justified us in excluding\nit from our columns. But it does\nnot hurt us, nnd we are inclined to\nbelieve that Mr. McDougall himself will admit that lie goes buyout!\nthe boundB nf common courtesy.\nIt iu quite true that the act quoted\nmakes no provision for hearing objections to licenses, or for any expression of public opinion whatever.\nBut . the Hcnuse act provides for\nboth, and \u00C2\u00BBt is the license uct and\nnot tho municipal aot wliich governs\nthe granting of licenses where a\nmunicipal license bylaw does uot\nexist. We havo no knowledge of\nany such by-law in Hurrey. If\nthere is ono, tlie etauso relating to a\ntwo-thirds petition will not apply,\nbut the reove is undoubtedly wrong\nin supposing that objections to a\nlicense could uot be made before a\nlicensing court. The fact that notioe of an intention to apply for\nsuoh a liconso must be published 14\ndays implies the right of objection.\nIt will not help Mr. McDougall\nout of his embarrassment to accuse\nthe people of Mud Bay of inconsistency. Whatever opinions may\nhavo been previously expressed, the\nlicense court had undoubted proof\nthat a majority of the people were\nopposed to the establishment of a\nsaloon at Mud Bay, and the voice\nof the people ought to have prevailed. We are very glad that Mr.\nMcDougall is able to deny that he\nhad any personal interest in granting this license. It was stated to\nus by men whose opinions we could\nnot disregard that ho had, and the\ncircumstances certainly were pointing strongly in that direction. We\ncould not imagine what motive\nother than selfishness would induce\nMr. MqDougall to assist in establishing a placo at Mud Bay where\nhe must know evil influences would\nbe found, and temptations from\nwhich tho settlement has hitherto\nboen happily free. It was impossible to believe that lie had the\nmoral interests of the community\nat heart. He may have thought\ntho sale of intoxicating liquor would\nbring business \u00E2\u0080\u0094 but if it made\nwrecks of happy homes and happy\nhearts, and tended to lower tho\nmoral standard, us it was sure to\ndo, the compensation of a small increase in trade would be a poor\ncomfort indeed. Upon Mr. Mc-\nDougall's own statement, however,\nwe frankly withdraw the insinuation of self-interest. Mr. McDou-\ngnll's other observations we do not\nconsider worthy of reply.\nThe Fourth Portfolio.\nOn Saturday Mr. Simeon Duck,\nono of the representatives of the\ncity of Victoria iu tho provincial\nlegislature, was sworn in by the\nlieutenant-governor as minister of\nfinance and agriculture. Since tho\nretirement of Mr. Drake, who held\nthe position of president of the\ncouncil, without a portfolio, tliere\nhave been only three persons in the\ncabinet, and Victoria, the largest\nand most wealthy constituency iu\nthe province, was without representation in tlie government. The\naccession of Mr. Duck will bring\nconsiderable strength, and will relieve the provincial secretary of\nsome of the multitudinous duties\nwhich were associated with his\noffice. Besides being provincial\nsecretary, he was minister of finance, minister of agriculture, minister of mines, aud minister of education. Mr. Duck takes the doublo\nduties pertaining to the offices of\nminister of finance and agriculture.\nTo those who know the new minister ,we need not sny that he is a\ngentleman of excellent parts, and\nenjoys the confidence and respect of\nhis constituenta He is u Canadian\nby birth, having been born at St.\nCatharines, Out, where his parents\nwero among the earliest settlers.\nHe first entered parliament as representative for Victoria in 1871.\nIn 1875 he suffered* defeat, but was\nelected again in 1878, and again at\nthe general election of 1882. Mr.\nDuck probably owes his late election to opposition votes principally,\nalthough he has beeu independent in\nparliament. In the early sessions he\nmanifested a disposition to oppose\nthe present government. Afterwards lie drifted into an attitude of\nindependence, and last session he\nsupported the government more\nthan he opposed it.. On tlie railway extension scheme liis whole influence was with tho government\nas, indeed, it wus on tho settlement\nbill of 1883. Some persons may be\ndisposed to insinuate that Mr. Duck\nlias been induced by the hope of\noflico to abandon his principles.\nWe prefer to believe that ftlr. Duck\nbecame convinced that the policy\nand practice of the government\nwere such as deserved approval,\nand, acting upon principle, ho hus\nconcluded to give it an unqualified\nsupport. It is well known that\nMr. Beaven's health is such as to\nmake it doubtful if ho will ever be\nable to enter with his old vigor into\nthe discussions of the house. He\nis unquestionably one of the ablest\nof thu opposition, and the loss of\nhis active and aggressive leadership was felt Beriously by his party\nduring the Inst session. With Mr.\nDuck in the cabinet, and Mr.\nBeaven's effectiveness greatly weakened, the opposition, at no time\nvery strong, will be singularly\nfeeble. Mr. Duck is not only a\ngentleman of good abilities, but ho\nhas tho additional recommendation\nof being highly respected. The\ngovernment gains, therefore, both\nin actual strength and in moral support During the debate on the\nrailway extension scheme last session tbo premior stated that Mr.\nOrr, junior member for tliis distinct, had done everything in his\npower to defeat the government.\nft may be taken ns a fact, therefore, that Mr. Orr has gono ovor\nbodily to tlie opposition. It is\nsomownat remarkable that he sbould\nhave done this just when Mr. Duck\nwas upon the eve of fotmnlly identifying himself witli tiio govornment, We are sure thi government's friends, would bo glad to\nmake a few more exchanges of tlie\nsame sort. When the most res-\npectable of the oppositionists or in\ndependents are coming over to the\ngovernment ranks, tho loss of persons like Mr. Orr, whose sympathies, it is well known, were never\nwith the government party, although\nhe was elected to support that party\nin parliament, will not be much\nfelt. It is no secret that the government has been forced by such\nmen as this sometimes to deflect\nfrom the policy that had been\nmapped out; but with its growing\nstrength it will be able to pursue\nthe course whicli seems best ih spite\nof such opposition. We believe\nboth the government and the country may bo congratulated upon the\npolitical event which forms tho subject of this article.\nIf you want Gold, lead the Mechanics'\nStore Atlvc^tisciiicnt in this yane.: (tc)\nD\"\nHOMIBOPATHISI,\nGraduate of Hahomaiin's Collogo,Broslan,\nGermany.\nOffice, Room 20, Occident HMol.Now\nWestminster. mlisste\nHOUSE TO RENT\n AND\t\nFURNITURE FOR SALE.\nFor pni'lfcUlftrs apply at\nTHIS OFFIOE,\nA CABD.\nTu W.

It Is\nvery easy comprehending that your cor'\nrespondent is neither a navigator nor\na civil engineer, nor yet has lie a moderate share of common -tense. When he\nadvocates the construction of n wharf at\nthe initial point of tlio coast meridian\nand boundary lino of B.C. ami W,T., jt\nis evident that ho is not acquainted with\ntho locality; othorwiso ho would not\nmention such au undertaking as the construction of a wharf at that point, as\nthe wharf would hjive to bo built for at\nleast one mile over the sand flats to reach\ndeep water, and three-fourths of the\nwharf would then bo in American waters,\nas can\" be seen by examining the map of\nthis district. The anchorage and shelter\nfor shipping, which he mentions, is nowhere to be found in Semiahmoo Bay,\nexcopt in Drayton Harbor, W.T. And\nas for the opening through of tlie coast\nmeridian line, it is beyond all reason to\nsuppose that it will ever benefit the settlements ot Mud Bay, Clover Valley, or\nLangley, as the natural and only practicable outlet for those settlements is by\nthe Nicomekl river, which your correspondent bo unjustly condemns, and states\nthat the entrance to the harbor at the\nmouth of this river can only bo navigated\nby a small stern-wheel Bteamer. He\nstates a falsehood, for, at lowest tide,\ntliere is from nine to twelve feet of water\nto be found in the channel, all the way\ninto the harbor, and the mud flatB which\nhe refers to are composed of sand and do\nnot extend as far from shore as do the\nflats at Semiahmoo Bay. To iny knowledge the steamers Tacoma and Beaver\nhave been into the harbor at the mouth\nof the river, and the steamers Dunsmuir,\nNew Westminster, and Belle, have frequently been up the river to the bridge\non Semiahmoo road. I think auy of\nthose steamers will bo found capable of\ncrossing tho Gulf of Georgia. From the\nabovo mentioned bridge to the bridge on\nthe Hall's Prairie rood the river is only\nnavigable, at present, for small vessels\nand scows, on account of obstructions\nwhich are in tho river. A petition has\nbeen Bent to the Dominion government,\nthis season, asking to havo those obstructions removed as soon as possible, which\ngoes to prove that the people hold this\ni iver as their outlet to the markets of\nBritish Columbia. In reference to a\nmarket near the mouth of tbe river, I\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0night say, it is already started, as there\nlu a store and blacksmith shop doing a\ngood business, nntl a hotel and shoe-shop\nunder construction, aud a small vessel\ntrading constantly between that port and\nVictoria, New Westminster, and Nanaimo. 1 cannot comprehend the object of\nyour correspondent in misrepresenting\nthis locality in the manner in which he\nhas done, but it is apparent that his interests are not in the welfare of this district. A. N. Anderson.\nA Hearty Recommendation.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Jacob\nA. Empey, of Cannainore, states that lie\nhns taken Burdock Blood Bitters with\ngreat benefit in a lingering complaint,\nand adds that he would gladly recommend it to all.\nThe Mnd Bny License.\nEditoic Columbian.\u00E2\u0080\u0094With your permission I will state briefly and plainly\nmy position iu the Surrey licensing matter. When Mr, Rowan signified his intention of applying for a license to sell\nliquor by retail at Mud Bay, a number\nof the residents who eventually signed\nthe petition opposing the granting of the\nlicense at first declined signing either\npetition, for the simple reason that they\nwere undecided as to whether it would\nbe advantageous to the welfare of the\nsettlement or not to havo a hotel opened\nand licensed to sell liquor here. These\ngentlemen, I believe, stated publicly\nthat they would sign neither petition;\nhowever, they eventually signed tho petition circulated hy Mr. Stewart opposing the granting of the license. It\nwould have heen better for nil concerned\nif those gentlemen liad taken a decided\nstand one way or another at first and\nthus removed any doubts as to their real\nfeelings and intentions, Which they could\nnot have had any good practical reason\nfor concealing. This was the attitude ofthe actual settlers in the .immediate\nvicinity of where the hotel will 'lie\nopened, i\nWith regard to petitions for or against\nthe licensing of any house iu any municipality, the municipal act, 1881, docs\nnot make any provision for hearing any\ncomplaints against the granting of liquor\nlicenses, neither are applicants for such\nlicenses required to have a two-thirds\nmajority of the residents' signatures in\nfavor of his application.\nIn your issue of the 18th iiiBt., thero\nara a number of communications respecting this subject, in which, very intern-\nperntely, those who opposed the granting o'f this license attack tho licensing\ncourt and myself personally. With re-\n?;ard to suoh action I Bhall only say that\nt would be more consistent on their part,\nto say the very least, if they wero to\npractice what they preach and not allow\ntheir temper to control their judgment\nsimply because they could not induce a\nmagistrate in the discharge of his duty\nto give a decision iu conformity with\ntheir views in the case.\nIn conclusion, I may just say that the\nliquor dealer haB recognized rights under\nthe law as well aa templars have; that a\nmagistrate- My Ib to give a just decision in confonnlty with the law and not\nto be controlled by party views or sentimentality; that the same law that legalizes the liquor traffic provided for regulating the same, and it would have been,\nI think, doubly to tho cfedit of your\ncorrespondents had they applied themselves to tbe work of having such laws\nenacted aa would\" secure aa far as possible ths best government and regulation\nof public houses, instead of vindictively\nattacking through the columns of a public newspaper those who any unprejudiced thinking person, acquainted with\nthe circumstances of the case, will grant\nhave acted impartially and independently\nin this matter.\nRespecting my position as reere of\nthis municipality, as referred to iu your\neditorial of same date, I am ready when\nthe ratepayers see fit to choose some one\nelse to fill my place to vacate tho reeve's\nchair, and wish my successor all the success that any reeve in any municipal\ncouncil oan possibly achieve,\nW. C. McDouoall,\nReove Surrey Mun.\nMud Bay, March 20, 1885.\nEditor Columbian,- Will you confer\na favor by publishing the following. < As\nI havo beeu publicly attacked through\ntho columns of the Cglpmdian, 1 hope I\nmay be allowed to defend myself through\nthe samo medium.\nReferring to the liquor license granted\nto Mr, Rowan of Mud Bay, in your issue\nof 21st inst., you have made certain\nstatements and insinuations that are disgracefully lacking in manhood and truth;\nperhaps yon havo bean mislead, but that\ncan be no excuse for the man who wields\na public pen, to whom all look for a fair\naud truthful statement, but who, confining himself to one Bide of any subjects\nforthwith attacks umnaufiilly and untruthfully any oue who may happen to\nbe out of line with what may appear to\nhim to he the right course. -\niir. Rowan was not granted a \"snloou\nlicense\"; he was granted a liquor lhonse\nfor his hotel, which is not nor will be a\nsaloon, but a hotel sufficiently large, with\nstabling, etc., in addition to accommodate the travelling public. There is not\nanother public bouse nearer than Brownville, distant 11 miles; Semiahmoo, 6\nmiles; Fort Langley, 17 miles; and Lad-\nner's Landing, 15 miles. There is a\nlargo amount of traffic through here and\nit is only reasonable that a hotel should\nbe established to itccomjuodatc the same.\nIt is abxolttttltj fdse that when I sold\nout to Mr. Uowiui that I promised to\ngrant him a liquor license. The sale of\niny store was a business transaction, conducted as such, the iushuiatlonB published\nby the editor of tho Colvmhian and his\nanonymous correspondents notwithstanding. It is not true that I have any personal interest in Mr. Rowan's business,\nneither in the hotel or otherwise, nor are\nwo partnoi'M in .any business of auy kind\nwhatever.\nRespecting the insinuation Unit I have\nprostituted my official position for tho\nfurtherance of my own intersst, it Is a\nslander vile enough to have' emanated\nfrom tho most vindictively truthless and\nabandoned of characters, let alone the\neditor of the Columbian, who uo doubt\nwishes to be on the side of right and\ntruth, but .who in this instance at least\nhas acted with a great want of discrimination and good judgment, and published\nstatements personal to myself that shows\nhe' has been shamelessly thoughtless if\nnothing more in his actions' respecting\nthis matter.\nIn conclusion, my actions both public\nand private during my lifetime, will bear\nthe light of day, and I intend to pursue\nin the future the same course I have in\nthe past, at nil times dealing with all\nsubjects independently and impartially,\nand just as fearlessly and independently\ndefending myself against anything or\nany person or personB who may attack\nme unfairly and untruthfully as has been\ndone in this instance.\nW.

In fact, troops could\nbe sent over this route in April, when\nthe Canadian Paoifio boats commence\nrunning on Lake Superior.\"\nSeattlk, Mar. 19.\u00E2\u0080\u0094A disastrous fire,\naccompanied by loss of life, occurred this\nmorniug at 3 o'olock.

In a\nshort time the entire structure was enveloped in flames, whioh dolled the efforts\nof the department. Eric Johnson, aged\n40, was burned to death, Mike Tobin,\naged 35, received internal injuries in\ndropping from a third story window, and\nwill die. Ed.

Barrio threatens to have a settlement with Zalvidar as sot\ntions of Guatemala with otiic.\nAmerican states are determined, which\nis construed as meaning he will make\nwar on San Salvador. The Guatemala\npress, in which nothing is published except with the consent of the government,\ndeclares a readiness to fight the whole\nworld. American papers have been prohibited from going into Guatemala on\nthe decree that Barrio was to send .to\ntlie senate declaring war as a necessity\nto accomplish his euda. It has not yet\nbeen submitted to that body, and on account of interference of Mexico it probably will nqt be.\nNew York, March 20.\u00E2\u0080\u0094It Is stated\nhere thst the Pacifio Mall Company contemplate reducing fores from here to\nSan Francisco to $75.

On\nreaching the first hilt at 8:30 a. tn,, we\nfound the enemy had retired and occupied another bill a niilo and a quarter\ndistant. After a short halt tho Berkshire regiment of marines were ordered\nto charge the hill, the-Indian contingent\nnud guards supporting. This was done\nvary effectually, the enemy being driven\noff the ridge and streaming south towards Taniai. They wero charged by\nsquadrons of Indian lancers, The cavalry\nthon retired towards the guards, Many\nof tho enemy passed the guards at the\nfoot of the hill and made for the hill\nwest of Hasheen, These wero shelled\nby the royal horse artillery while other\nparties moving round on onr right were\nengaged iu the bush by fifty lancers.\nMeanwhile zareeba, with four entrenched\nposts ou tbe hill are being formed. The\nadvanced troops have all relumed to tliis\nposition nud will return to our camp,\ning the East Surrey regiment with\ntwo Krupp guns, four Gardmers, water\ntanks and signal appliance., nt the entrenched position.

As soon as\npossible they were reinforced liy batteries offl urdiner and Krupp guus and by\ncavalry. There was a not engagement\nfor a few hours, during which the British cavalry charged repeatedly upon\nthe rebels, while the gnus wero worked\nwith deadly effect whenever their firo\ncould bo made available. Gnat bravery was displayed on both sides. At\nend of engagement the Arabs retreated\nslowly toward 'Tamai.' Arab loss in\nkilled and wounded is estimated at 600.\nLoss to British is 40. The Arabs dis-\nSlaytd desperate bravery. The marines\nrove the Arabs from the hills and forced\nthem to retreat to the plain. Then the\nIndiaan troops charged the Arab position\nbut were outflanked and an unsuspected\nbody of Arabs succeeded iu getting in\nbehind their lines. The Indians found\nthemselves between two fires and fled.\nDuring this retreat they were closely\npressed by the Arabs, who hamstrung\nthe horses and speared some riders. The\nBengalese fell back in confusion upon\n.the English infantry and guards, who\nhad beeu formed in a hollow square. The\nsquare leisurely retired while the Arabs\nwere yelling that they had regained their\nlost position. At tills juncture the artillery came to the rescue, and a brisk\nfire with small shot from the machine\ngun, and shells from the Krupps drove\ntheir position. The marines maintained\na steady fire throughout the engagement, but the honors of the .day are\nprobably due to the Irish Lancers, who\nchanged the tide ot battle by a desperate\ncharge, and retrieved the fortunes of\nGen. Graham's command, when they\nseemed almost hopeless. The British\ntroops have returned to thoir former\ncamp near Suakim.\nLondon, March 20.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Gen. Graham\ntelegraphs Gen. Wolseley that tho result\nof operations has been to establish a\nstrong position commanding Hasheen\nValley, and protecting the right flank\nand hue of communication in ensuing\noperations against Tamai. All portions\nof the force, he says, worked admirably\nand gallantly on very diflicult ground,\ncovered with high thorn bushes and occupied by the agile and determined enemy, thus showing the troops able to\nmaster the Arabs in any position*.\nSuakim, March 20.; 7 p. m. -The British troops have returned to this point,\nOsman Digma sent reinforcftnents, numbering one thousand, to Hasheen Thursday night to assist in opposing the Brit-\ntish.\nKorti, March 20.\u00E2\u0080\u0094Natives state that\nthe rebels have teturued to Berti and\nShukuk pass and are fortifying those\nplaces.

They almost\nunanimously concur in reporting that\nof the preseut members of thelmutt'o\nof commons almost olio-half will tip-\noliuo to stiiml for re-election. If ihis\ncalculation is win-act the next parliament will produce one of thu must\nthorough political changes over witnessed in England. A majority of the\nmembers uf the houso who it Ib thought\nwill decline to stand are thu older\ntories nnd Whigs.

If ever thero\nis to bu real and established democracy\nin England, it will be much hasteuod\nby the very disposition shown by the\ntories and whig, to run nwuy and avoid\nit. The whole tenor of reports from\nprovincial centres is lu tho effect that'\nin the next parliament the number of\naristocrats, military nnd law representatives, will be grently lessened,\nand tho number of commercial men,\ntraders and members nf local bodies in\nthe house will be astonishingly augmented. Tory agents have advised\nthoir leaders to adopt an electoral programme based on democratic lines.\nChurchill, the young and erratic tory\nmember of tbo commons, who in a tit\nof disgust with tho clumsy c\u00C2\u00ABn\u00C2\u00BBei'va-\ntisin of his colleagues abruptly started\non a tour tu India, has been asked by\ncable to return to England as speedily\nns possible to consult with Salisbury,\nhis leader, the tory peer nnd with Sir\nMichael Hicks Bench, successor iu the\ntory leadership in the commons to Sir\nStafford Northcoto. It is generally\nbelieved that Gladstone will withdraw\nfrom the prime ministry and from tbe\ncommons at tho present session. Gladstone lias recently very often expressed\na desire to resign the leadership of the\nliberal party.

Tho\nRussian military organ, Seel, which\nreflects the views of Russian commanders Gen. Komaroff, Geu. TeKernaeff\nand others of the war party of Russia,\nis urging the seizure of Herat before\nthe English can fortify the placo. The\nSvet argues that as Herat is the center\nof commerce for Khoraaseu and 'Fur-\ncomanin if England is permitted to\nhold it the Russian position beyond\nthe Caspian will be perilous. \"Besides,\" Bays Srtt, \"to allow Eugland to\nhold Herat would'be showing great\nweakness before tho Turcomans. The\nEnglish must be chased out of Turcoman territory. The Russian diplomats\nin conceding one inch of ground wilt\nbetray the interests of thoir country.\nEngland will not risk a war for Herat,\nfor she knows her defeat might involve\nIndia, whereus Russian defeat would\nmean nothing more than the maintenance of a territorial statu una.\"\nIn Paris'reports that China has mads\novertures for peace nre discredited.\nNo negotiations, direct or indirect, it\nis said, have been opened, and there\nare no symptoms that the govornment\nut Pekin is intimidated or uuxious to\nsecure peace on any terms unfavorable\nto China. Members of the Chinese\nembassy in London express themselves\nhopeful for the cessation of war, but\nsay it should be brought about by\nFranco accepting the territorial concessions formerly made by China, in\nTonquin, without any indemnity.\nFrom China direct come reports that\nthe army of the empire haa been reinforce and put in readiness to resume\noffensive operations in Tonquin.
