The Union League of Professional Bull Clubs Chances Its Name. Tim Union League of Professional Base Ball Clubs met again at the Bingham House yesterday and its session lasted until nearly ten o'clock last night. There was business of much importance transacted, but that which caused the most surprise was the change of the name of the organization to the Kustern League.

The members of the convention explained that this change was made in order to avoid conflicting with the Union Association, which Is pursuing an entirely different course from that contemplated by the Kastera League. liefore the Union League changed its name four new clubs were admitted the Domestic, of Newark, N. Trenton, Har risburg and Alleutown. The delegates present at the organization of the Kasiern League wero W. C.

S. Miller, Heading; Dr. CJ. W. Mas samore, Baltimore; Felix H.

Moses, Uiehmond, and John T. West, ot Wilmington. The playing rules of the American Association wero adopted, with a few changes. It was decided to retain the foul bound and the pitcher was ordered to deliver the bull below the shoulder. The rule In reference to removing disorderly persons from the grounds was altered to make It, obligalory on the home club to remove all obnoxious nersons from the grounds in the space of fitlcen minutes, or otherwise the game may be declared In favor of its opponents.

An important change' was made in class 2, rule 41, which now reads: "If the side first at bat shall have completed their tifih inning, and the club having complied four in ninis shall have a majority of runs, the score shall stand and be considered as a grt me played." The new Leslie decided thai the P.ourdof Directors should appoint four regular umpires nnd two substitutes. The regular umpires will receive a salary ot $HW per month and the substitutes $5 per game. All the traveling expenses of the umpires are to be paid by the League. MR. VILLARD RESIGNS.

Retiring from the Northern Pacific and Making an Assignment of Property. New York, January 4. At the meeting of the directors of the Northern Pacific Railroad to day, a letter from Mr. Henry Villard was read, resigning the presidency ot the company and also retiring from tho ISoard of Directors. Mr.

Villard says I feel constrained to take thin step for two reasons. One is that I am suffering: from nervous prostration, which render me no longer capable of properly discharging my official duties and my physicians advise absolute absentation from all active employment as a condition of the recovery of my health. The other reason is that, in my owu opinion, no less than in that ot my personal and business friends, the interests of the company call for a severance of my connection with it. It is a sad reflection that such should he the unjust result of the years of severe labor and consuming anxiety hich I have spent in my endeavors to serve the company conscientiously and to the best of my ability. Uu' my feelings shall not stand ia the way of the Welfare 01 the I am consoled by an ahidmg confidence (hat the future will completely vindicate all that 1 have done.

I may, as soon as my health permits mo, ask the privilege of submitting lo you a auuimary of my administration of the company's affairs. Allow me to express to you, in conclusionmy sincere thanks for the cordial support and appreciative sympathy you have at all times extended to me. The Board of Directors accepted the resignation, Messrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, Frederick Hillings, Benjamin Cheney, J.

C. Bullitt, Robert Harris and August Belmont were appointed a committee to consider what actionthould ho taken by the board, owing to the retirement of Jlenry Villard as president. Mr. Viiinrd's resignation as a director was laid on the tabic. The committee was authorized to call a special meeting fur the election of a president.

The directors adopted resolutions complimentary to Mr. Villard and voted him SIO.C per year for his services during the time he was president of the company. The Unance committee reported that the money still remaining from the proceeds of the SlK.OmVWO second morlcago bond end other cash assets, especially applicable to the liquidation of the indebtedness embraced in the circular to the preferred stockholders October 17 last, amounts to whilst the ublifjutions against the same, together with tiie balance of amount, required for construction and equipment, amounts to 8:14, showing a surplus of In addition to this the eomjtfuiy has on hand In cash the speciul fund applicable tothe payment of interest on its general first mortgage bonds due ou the first of July next, amounting lo Vice President Oakcs, who has made an inspection of the road by daylight, made a lengthy report of the physical condition of the property and its future prospects, lie stales that with the exception of the one hundred miles of road last completed west of Helena, tho road bed and track were found In first class order; the one hundred miles referred to will require to bo but lasted with gravel to put it in proper condition for economical operation. lie estimates that tho cost of putting the equipment in first class order will be Sl A statement of earnings and expenses was also submitted.

These wit nesses, however, had uot been required to study the catechism. County Superintendent Strayer testified that the Sisters had been duly examined and obtained public school teachers' cer tificates in the usual form. The defense claim that, if the school was sectarian, the proper remedy for the complainant would have been an injunction upon either the directors or the teachers, to prevent them from conducting a public school in a manner contrary to law, The Court's decision is reserved. Chairman Cooper has called a meeting of the Republican State Committee for tbo 23d, when the date of the State Convention will be fixed.

It was about four years ago, at this season of tho year, when the party head was made very dizzy by tho announcement that the convention had been called to meet February 4. It didn't give tho party a chance to turn around, but the bosses understood themselves. This year tho rules make other arrangements necessary. Kf.presentatives op the various commer cial exchanges and organizations of New city have formod a loaguo to put down the lobby at Albany. It has now become almost impossible in New York State to secure even the most urgent legislation, however legitimate it may bo, without first making an appeal to the third house and paying for its intervention.

It is proposed to extend this organization to every part of tho State, in order to crush the middleman of legislation aud drive him out of business. Ia. tho prosent condition of politics such a thing may be necessary, although it is a sad confossion to mako concerning the ability aud integrity of tbo men sent to legis lative bodies. If the Commercial League will at the same time go to work and raise the standard for such sorvico it will soon find that necessary laws can be passed without the in tervention of anything more direct thau a strong and well trained public sentiment. It would not be vory much of a surprise if Estabrook's street cleaning contractors should return to him with tho statement that they can find no streets.

The proposition for a world's fair in Sau Francisco threo years hence ought not to bo dif ficult to earry out. There are a groat many very rich men in Sari Francisco and money will do the most to make tho project a success. At a preliminary meeting the other evening those present represented wealth amounting to three hundred millions. That ought to mean business. The fund for the Barthohli monument pedestal has now roached nearly or less than half the sum required.

The treasurer expressed a willingness and anxiety to receivo money from other cities, but his appeal is uot likely to bo listened to. Tho pedestal fund is an ever present source of amusement to tho people of New York. Much of their importance comes from the fact that they always havo it with them and it would bo cruel for outsiders to come forward and rob that great city of tho pieturesqueness and interest which attach to it as tlic possessor of an object upon which they can spend their spare dimes aud quarters for years to come. People opposed the horse car when it was introduced. Somo of the same people aro now opposing the elevated railroad.

If somo people could have their way tho world wouldn't show much evidence of progress in anything. Claus Sprechels not being satisfied with a very lucrative monopoly of tho Hawaiian sugar trade, wauls tho earth, or at least that portion of it which belongs to tho Crown in Hawaii. Having, as it is said, induced the King to sell him 40,000 acres of the Crown lands, tho Hawaiian people now threaten to rebel aud make it extremely hot for both Mr. Sprechels and the King who sold that which he had no right to sell under the Hawaiian laws. The sequel wiil probably show who owns Hawaii Mr.

Sprechels or the Hawaiian people. It is not a very big question to be sure, but it is likely to attract as much attention as though it was. Con tractors who have undertaken to clean the slreets this year will havo first to dig down and find the streets. The report published in a Brooklyn paper that Chandler will be forced to resign from the Navy Department within sixty days is entirely too good to be true. That Randall, Eaton and the Democrats generally aro opposed to tho present Secretary needs scarcely be asserted; but that the President will have the good sense and foresight to see in this opposition a reason for ridding himself of tho most dangerous man in his Cabinet is too much ask or expect.

The report may safely be put down as a mistake a correspondent anxious to make tho unani mous desire of the country into an accomplished fact. Estahrook's frankness is one of bis good points, for which ho must hnve credit. He says that there is plenty of work that has not been done, but that he "can't do il." That is evident. But such being the case, why does not Estabrook resign? Ex Senator McDonald has risen un again before the Democratic editors of Indiana to explain his numerous explanations ou tho Tariff, nnd left his position just about as lucid as it was before. Fifty electrotypes of Mr.

McDon ald were distributed to tho editors free for use in their papers, nnd tho McDonald boom will probably tuko a pictorial start. The troublo with tho McDonald boom is too much eflort aud too little boom. Oct of a job the liveliest man in America, one Butler by name.

A little hastily the British Government decided to do nothing more than help the Khedive protect Northern Egypt; that is, virtually, only to keep the Suez clear and the gateway to India open. At the meeting of the British Cabinet yesterday it Jjecame a serious question how even this was to be done.

Meanwhile the recreant Khedive and his ministry, at last well scared, have resolved that England must do more or less than that, otherwise they have determined to abandon the Soudan to Turkey, which, iu a word, means exactly what was meant a year and a half age when Arabi was to lie given over to Turkey it means that the Anglicized Khedive himself and his English protectors must yield the whole of Egypt and the Sondan to the Mohammedan power or that England must conquer it with an army of fifty thousand men. John Hunter in tho Field. Circular petitions, sigued by many thou sands of the voters of Philadelphia, were, yes terday delivered to John Hunter, asking him to consent to a re election as of Taxes. Among the papers presented, was one signed by every Bank I'resident and every Trust I'resident in the cify the first time, we believe, that such a paper from the financial men of Philadelphia was ever obtained for any political movement. The other petitions represented all shades of political sentiment and all the leading industries of our great in dustrial city.

To these appeals, Mr. Hunter yesterday gave the following formal answer: Gentlemen your kind communications, also similar ones from many thousands of working men, manufacturers, merchants, bankers, professional men and others, asking me to be a can didate for the position of Receiver of Taxes, are before r.io. (Joining unsolicited, as it does, such an expression imposes upon tlic citizen tho ac ceptance of public trust, and ft is as much my pleasure ns my duly to obey it The cordial sup port ol the public press and my fellow citizens is cerlainly very gratifying and encourages me in the performance of my duty. Referring to my ollicial record ns a guaranteo for my future course, I am yours very truly, Jons Hi'ntkr, Mr. Hunter is now fairly in the field for re election as Kcccivcr of Taxes.

It is not by any act or effort of his own, for John Hunter has never obtruded himself as a candidate for any office; but in this case, the people have taken the lead of the politicians and they have given such emphasis to the general expression iu favor of Hunter's re election, that he could do no less than obey the demand spontaneously made upon hun. His attitude ns a popular candidate neither antagonizes nor courts the action of the great political organizations but they profess to respect the popular will, and it has never in the history of our municipal contests, been so unmistakably expressed ns in the case of John Hunter. The politicians should understand that in the support of Hunter the people have taken the lead, and they never retreat when they get into battle line. The dog has got ahead of the wolf iu the Tax Kcccivcr chase, and both political parties will be wiso in falling into a line that neither nor both could break. The Heading Kailroml Karnings.

It is less than two years since it was a very common thing to hear Mr. Franklin B.Goweu called a visionary and his plaus for the reha bilitation of the Philadelphia nnd Keading Railroad Company ridiculed and condemned, For a time he fought his great battle almost alone, even those who called themselves his friends giving him very little moral or liuan cial support. There could be no better vindication of Mr. Gowen's courage and ability than the annual statement published this morning, showing that during the past year the company has earned all its charges, 7 per cent, on its pre ferred stock, per cent, ou its common stock and over besides. Mr.

Gowcn will retire from the presidency of the company in a lew (lays a poor man in money but rich in honor, and he will hand over to his successor a properly incalculably more valuable than it was when he took charge of it thirteen years ago. Results of Pork I'roscript ion. Notwithstanding the fact that the govern mints of Germany aud France, under the thin pretext of a desire to save their subjects from the late of Herod, have prohibited the importation of Americau pork, the Yankee porker appears to hold its owu. has been consuming American pork to the value of forty one millions of dollars dnring the first ten months of the year 16 3. This is an increase in the foreign consumption of about six millions as compared with the same period dining tho previous year.

It is probable that the exclusion of American pork from the ports of Frauce and Ger many and the consequent public discussion of the subject has served as a good foreign advertisement of the tabooed and forbidden article, and that from this causo the exportation to other foreign ports has more thau ruado good the losses caused by the prohibitory legislation of the two anti pork nations. If some other nations could bo induced to get up a scare about the devouring propensities of the American hog it might possibly result iu doubling our export trade in this staple. It might not be amiss to suggest that if thore is any other American product that our trans Atlantic cousins object to, all wise Americans ill hope that the same process of proscription will bo pursued in regard to it. Proscription of this kind appears to be very healthy for the trade in tho proscribed article. Kstahrook is tryinii hard to give satisfaction, but lie lias unfortunately acquired an erroneous idea of what puoplo want.

He says, in a published interview, that "they want a li.nu who ill do as ho pleases, regardless of everything except his own sweet will." Now if this wero indeed what people wanted, they could not fail to bo pleased with Kstubrouk. And still they complain. It is evident, therefore, that Eatabroiik is mistaken. This is ooino to bo a year of close appropriations by Congress. Tho government is well elf, but there is a man nt the head of the appropriations committee who doesn't believe in extravagance, uo matter how much money there is.

Tun Rcsoay school batik cashier has discovered again. Ho did live in Hopkiusville, Ky. Ho doesu't live there now, however. Ho lias gone, nnd so hn $10,000 of tho bank funds. The other bank officers nro of the opinion Unit tho money and tho cashier went nway on the snmo train, and that they will forget to come back unless coaxed by detective armed with a wurrant.

It is not necessary to add that tho missing cashier was highly respectable, that ho had an interesting family and that ho win prominent church deacon. The extent of the bunk's deficit is sufficient assurance of that fact. No harum scarum, rattle pated cashier would havo been given the opportunity to stenl so much. It is tho pretended good man who takes in the average bunk directors, and their surplus cash as well. All of which should teach the average bank director that goodness should be tested to we whethor it is true, or only counterfeit, beforo being promoted to a cashier ship.

Bogus goodness is suro to gut away with the deposits sooner or later. The WRF.TrtiF.DLY maxacikd, cold, unhealthy and high priced horse cum are inviting the con strurtinti of nn elevated railroad.

The announcement of the death of Marietta Gazzaniga recalls the brief but brilliant period to which Phiiadelphians still look back as to the "palmy days," when the new Academy of Music fulfilled its proper functions as a home of the lyric drama and as a popular ns well as a fashionable resort. Gazzaniga was by no means tho greatest singer who has been heard upon that stage, but no other hos left a more enduring memory.

We had not then learned to go to tho opera out of curiosity to hear some famous star. We went to hear the opera, and we recognized the excellence of the company that Mr. Marshall had secured and enjoyed their successive performances the more as we grew more familiar with the artists, and the relations of mutual understanding and friendship wero established between them aud their audience. Gazzaniga was not a wandering star, a mere chance visitant, here to day and gone to morrow. We regarded her as belonging to ourselves, as a part of our own beautiful opera house, and so her memory "has become a part of tho Academy's endowment, scarcely needing Ames' poor portrait and the marble bust in tho corridor to perpetuate it, very one remembers that famous first performance, when Caroline Kichings read Judge Conrad's opening address and the great curtain rolled up for the first time upon 'I1 Trovatore." with Max Maretzek at the conductor's desk.

It was not a new opera then, and now it has grown quite old, but none of tiie great and Manrirosai later Jays have effaced the memory of that first performance at the Academy, on February 25, 1857, with Gazzaniga as Leonora, Aldini as Aznceiut, Jirignoli his delicious voice then at its prime ns Manrico and Amodioas the OMiitf. And, in truth, we have not had a finer Gazzanhta's voice was nuro and rich and strong, her execution admirable and her dramatic sense, and her power of dramatic expression as well, whether in depth of passion or in lender and pathetic sentiment, altogether unusual. She was at that time thirty four years old and had achieved a high position on the stage at Florence, Naples and Milan, as well as elsewhere in Italy and in Spain, when Maretzek engnged her for an American tour. Phiiadelphians took her to their hearts at once, and the impression she made in "II Trovatore" was increased by her very beautiful performance of Travi ata," which she was the first to present in this country. It is in the brindisi tlmt she Is commemorated in the picture at the Academy, but her "Gran dio" lives in the memory without the painter's aid.

She was heard also, in that first season, In "Louisa Miller." which Verdi wrote for her, in laicrczlu," "Norma" and "Sano," a repertory largely increased in subsequent seasons. Alter her first engagement hero Gazzaniga tang in New York, aud subsequently in Havana, where her husband, the Marquis Malaspina.died of smallpox. For several years alter that she wns heard in Philadelphia, New York and other cities under he management of Jacob (irau, and she gave the last performance, in 1 a Jul ve," at tiie old Academy of Music iu New York, on tho night of Its destruction by fire in Her last appearance in Philadelphia was in 1.V77, on tho twentieth anniversary of tho opening of the Academy of Music, when "II Trovatore' was given once more. Little more than a wreck remained of tiie former favorite soprano, but. tiie public gave her the hearty welcome she deserved.

Madame Gazzaniga was married a second time, to ItUciaun Alettes, a sinking master, who, with a son by her first husband, survives her. She remained in New York, giving lessons in singing, until about four years ago, when she returned to Italy, whence corner now the news of her death. She was an estimable woman.and an artist of genuine power and very achievement, and in all the musical memories ot Philadelphia no one holds a more eminent place than Gazzaniga. SAMUEL DEATH. The Facts About the Amputation of the Boy's Two Legs.

"I performed the operation myself," said lr. William H. Pun coast, professor of surgical anatomy at tho Jefferson Hospital, last night, in speaking of the case of the Hebrew boy, Samuel Bernstein, whose death, following closely upon the amputation of both of his legs, was said to be tho result of an Ill advised operation. "I can spcuk positively when I say that every care that long practice and intimacy with science could suggest to make the case a success was unsparingly used. The lad did not die from the effects of the operation, as falsely stated, but from blood poisoning.

ease was brought to the notice of the faculty several weeks before the operation took place aud the chances of success were so slight that every effort was made to dissuade him from risking the amputation. His limbs below the knees were so bent that he could neither stand up nor sit down and he was willing to take any risk to obtain relief. Tho matter was fully discussed with the boy's father and the latter pressing the urgency of the case the operation was publicly performed, the limbs being taken off below the knee and not above, us stated. Tho boy rallied rapidly from the shock and hud fully recovered from the immediate effects of the amputation, when the pyemia was developed which, ransed his death. You can say," added Pr.

One morning this week a little girl, not more than six or seven years of age, opened the door of the Merrimack Savings Bank, on Elm street, and walked in. Her appearance and demeanor attracted the attention of the treasurer, Ex Govcrnor Smyth, who inquired the object of her visit. She replied that she wanted to seethe bank. The kind hearted Governor, attracted by the childish simplicity of his interviewer, asked her to step behind the counter, and as she did so her wide opened blue eyes wandered about the apartment in a calm scrutiny of its surroundings. When her little orbs rested upon the pile of shining coins of various denominations displayed upon the cashier's table her face became a perfect panorama of expressions, viewed with interest and umusement by her gallant guide.

She was permitted to step inside the vault, to examine the huge locks aud interior and tho inner safe and its belongings, all of which sho did with studious care and minuteness. All this time tho bank ottlcers looked on in mute surprise, puzzled to know the motive for this rigid examination, if any she possessed. Suddenly she stopped and looking up archly into the amused countenance of the treasurer, exclaimed: Well, I believe it's all right." What is all right?" queried tho official. Why, tho bank is all right," she, said, and then continued: Mr. Bank man, my name is Amy Hell, and my papa put into this savings bank for me yesterday, and I wanted to see what kind of a place it was.

Dispatch to New York World.

Airs. Carlisle's place next tr the President at the White House upon New Year's Day occasioned some dissatisfaction to the ladies of the Cabinet. They have held tlmt tho Speaker's wife should have slot id below the Cabinet, and that the first place should be given to Mrs. Prelinghuysen. Mrs.

Carii sLc was given the place because her husband occupies the third place in rank under the government, and there was uo lady representing the second place to take precedence. Tho President, paid great attention to Mrs. Carlisle. and this has aggravated the social situation, for it Is remembered upon last New i ear Day he once so lar lorgot Mrs. rclingnuysen, who stood next to him, as lo turn ins back upon her.

Another vexed question of etiquette, at Washington, Is whether the Speaker's wife ranks the wives of the Justices of the Supreme Court. Mrs. PJaine, when her husband was Speaker, refused to call upou the Justices first. Mrs. Carlisle concedes the position of the Justices' wives and will can upon mem au next Monuay.

Carelessness Causes a Miner's Heath. Special DteDtUcli to Thk Timjc. Shenandoah. Jannnry 4. Frank Steahle, miner, employed at the Kohinoor Colliery, near this place, early tills morning reached thtt head of the Primrose shall and was in the act of stepping on the cage to ba lowered when, with a terrible scream, he staggered and fell down the shaft into the sump, a distance ol nearly two hundred feet.

An examination showed that the hole in tho floor of the cage, through which the wheels and nxlesof the ears hung while being hoisted, had been left unclosed and that tlic un fortunate miner stepped into it. Men were quickly lowered and Steahle was found in the water below, unconscious. Ho was hoisted to the surface and removed to his home, where he rallied lor a short period nnd died immediately altera farewell with his wile and family. The accident was due to the neirlmencc of some one. and an investigation will be made to discover wnu is guiny.

The Sunday edition of The Times has a larrer circulation than any other Sunday journal, daily or weekly, published in Philadelphia, and its circulation is all bona fide to actual subscribers or purchaxny. It is undoubtedly the best ad vcrtislnrj i.icdium for Philadelphia business houses offered by Sunday journalism.

Advertisements for to morrow's Sunday edition should be handed in early this crening at the latest, to insure insertion and classification, os only a limited space is devoted to the favors of advertisers. The romance of Henry Villard's rapid rise and the tragedy of his sudden fall form one of lite most striking chapters in all the checkered history of railway speculation, and The Times has not lately printed a more interesting story than the careful study of Villard's downfall that will appear in to morrotc's issue. Michael Varitt's letter on Irish politics will be another interesting feature of the Sunday number, and still another trill be found in some Parisian sketches apropos of the recent theatrical scandal. The usual review of local politics will hare more lhan its customary importance to morrow, and all that is freshest and most interesting in the netes of the city and of the world will find its best expression in the Sunday issue of The Times. A Text on liiisiness.

The record of the last year presents two facts which make an interesting text lor business men of riiikulilpliia to consider, and they arc an unerring index of the financial soundness of the country. The voluntary payment of taxes in this oily was never before so full ns in the year 1883. Of the large amount of taxes levied, amounting to many millions, the people voluntarily paid within seven and a half per cent. of the whole levy. In what were called tho more prosperous days, the proportion unpaid often reached from fifteen to twenty per cent, Another fact that is a valuable txt for business men to consider, is the failure of the Sherifl" to receive in legitimate fees, sufficient to pay the legitimate expenses of administer ing the office.

That record is entirely excep tional in the history of a generation. And yet gamblers prate about panics and business paralysis. There arc no panics, and there can be none, outside of gambling speculations, and the more panics, and the more destructive the panics are among gamblers, the belter it will be for honest business enterprise. There are business embarrassments in only one class outside of illegitimate speculation. In some of the channels of productive indus try, there lias been large overproduction, and as there is no speculative market, we have dis tress and failures; hut the law of supply and demand rules inexorably, and there is no es cape from its penalties.

Our Saving Funds and Kuilding Associa tions which record the ebb and flow of the tide of prosperity among industrial people, present larger savings thau have ever before been thus invested. Industry has had larger earnings in the inflated times of the past, when it cost much more to live and when extravagance reigned in all circles but frugality has been taught by painful lessons, and the great mass of the people the producers of all our wealth arc not only more generally solvent, but more generally prosperous, than ever be fore in our history. Let these indisputable facts answer the croakers, who see a few unfortunate over producers and reckless, gamblers tumble into bankruptcy, and predict general depression mid ruin. Legitimate business is not only more thoroughly legitimate than at any time in the past, but it never gave better assurance of legitimate profits. The country is sound to the core, and business trust should be unclouded.

Mr. Brewster and tlic Lotteries. Attorney General Iircwstcr may be partial to old fashioned ruliles, and he may be and probably is somewhat in earnest when acting in the capacity of Attorney General, but neither of these things furnish the basis for a charge that he is a bull dozer," or that ho has insulted the sovereign Slate of Louisiana. Mr. Iircwstcr appeared as the law officer of the United Slates in the Federal Court nt Xcw Orleans to maintain the rijjht of the l'ost Office Ihpartnicnt to relnso to carry the Louisiana Lottery literature through tho mails, a thing he not only hud right to do, but was bou ml to do heu called upon.

Iu so doJhg lie seems to have earned the hatred nnd abuse of the lottery and its allies to a very creditable decree. They arc denouncing him without stint. It is probable that the Louisiana Lottery nnd its defenders may not know it, but it is a frozen fact, nevertheless, that Sir. Ilicwster's reputation ns capable official will bo amazingly enhanced by this tirade. If ho has any future ambitions be can almost nflbrd to pay these gambling to increase their insane abuse of him.

The more they abuse him the better honest people will think of him. The Crista. The actual condition of affairs in F.gypt and the F.nstcru Soudau is not a white more critical or serious to day than it has been for several weeks, only the Itritish Government, always a little slow at reaching conclusions, mid tho Fgyptinn Government, so long dependent ou the will of Kngland, are at last mutually agreed that the Mnhdi in more of a man than they thought, nnd that something tremendous must bo done, and that immediately. The conclusion is a wise one, but what to do is not so clear. From the day it was finnlly settled that the Mahdi had whipped Hicks J'ashn intelligent critics have held that nothing short of Kuro pcan army of say twenty five thousand men, well drilled and olllcercd, could hope to do anything with the victorious forces of lie prophet It is not at all certain that such force could cope with him.

In fact, the thing that puzzles and annoys Kgypt and England more is tho unknown quantity of the Malidi's army. His niinilwrs nnd position are alike unknown, and at this moment tho one concern of the Anglo Egyptian nllicers nnd men throughout the country from Kuakim to Khartoum is not bow to capture, but how to get awny from tho hitherto despised rebel of the Soudan.
