THE HORRORS OF WAR.
mi. -i fti.nfWvishes
The annihilation of the derwsnes
ia Egypt by the English army,
makes another chapter in tre nor
rorsof human war. The New
York Tribune says that the British
victory over the dervishes was both
necessary and justifiaWle, yet it
was in its essential features a mas
sacre. The leader of the fanatical
horde, twelve emirs, and nearly all
the fighting warriors were slaught
ers 1. Few prisoners were taken ;
1,500 dervishes were left dead upon
the battlefield; and the British
"looses' Were trivial. The details of
the conflict produce a painful im
pression of butchery in cold blood
G-meral GrenWi's tactics were of
the simplest order. He posted his
inf.xntry in a favorable position
and then with his cavalry recon
noitred the enemy's camp, making
a feint of retreating and luring the
desert warriors toward the main
boJy of his army. They were
drawn into a slaughter-pen and
when escape was impossible the
cavalry pnd infantry mounted on
camels swept down upon them and
be.it t-it a to earth. This military
operation resembled the clubbing
of a bewildered herd of seal in the
Pribylor Islands when retreat to
the sea has been cut off and the
helpless animals are left at the
mercy of the native destroyers. It
was a massacre of a horde of
wretched, starving, despairing
children of the desert, who had
journeyed hundreds of miles across
trackless levels of sand to fight the
battles of their faith. Supplies of
water and food had been cut off as
they advanced, and civilized war
fare with all its inhumanity and
'barbarity had reduced them to an j
abject stage of misery ; and when
the day of inal bloodshed came
!iey were fired upon and butcher
el without mercy. Such victories
reflect no luster upon the British
arms. The most that can be said
of them is that it is necessary bar
barism. If Wad-el-N'jumi's host
had not been broken up and anni
hilated it would have entered lower
Egypt and massacred the popula
tion as it advanced toward the
Pyramids and the sea. It was
Slaughter terrible and relentless in
it way to prevent slaughter even
m :re terrible and relentless.
Old time memories will be re
vived by the announcement that
Mrs. Ole Bull wile ot the renowned
violinist, accompanied by nor
lather, Hon. J. (J. Thorp, of E.u
CKir, Wis., and several other
people, from the same locality,
parsed through Spokane Falls en
rouu- to Alaska receutly. Ihe
party intended to stop here for a
few days, but, on account of the
fire and 'consequent lack of accom
modations, concluded not to do so,
ntil their return from Alaska,
lira. tJu'.l divides her time betweeu
her parents and friends in Wiscon
sin and the family of her distin- j
f.istt'd husband in Europe. Owe j
ot m r brothers married a daughter i
ct ihf poet Longfellow about two i
year ago. The music of Ole Bull's i
vi;m will dwell always in the j
inrm--ry of every person who evcri
li-.ii ..rd to its sweet strains.

hud-tfrom some careless hunter's

between the child's hand and neck

al o craping the skin off his neck.
He was very badly frightened, and

The South Fork Fishing Club,
who have all alons been arraigned
as responsible for the terrible
Johnstown flood, have entered a
plea of "not guilty" to the charge.
A legal trial is in progress and on
its results the American people
rely for a correct version of the
affair. Probably however, legal
technicalities will so obscure the
facts and conclusions that nothing
definite on convincing will be put
uponrecord.
The latest scheme in trusts is a
book trust, planned by English
capitalists, who are negotiating t
purchase all of the publishing
houses who issu cheap editions of
the pirated foreign authorship pub
lished books in this country. In
other words they ar waking to
gain here what (hey cannot at
home, the unpaid for n- ot the
copyrights of their home authorr.
At a recent fire in San Francisco
the firemen were disgusted, after
several hours herculean effort to
save a quantity of material in one
of the burning buildings, to find
that it was asbestos, a substance
that fire cannot have any effect
upon.
The Union Iron works of San
Francisco, have given the new
crui er, Charleston, which they
are building for the United States
navy, several trials on San Fran
cisco Bay, and fiad its action and
sailing qualities perfectly satisfac
tory. Persons having rooms to rent tc
students will do well to communi
cate with I'Jesident Condit about
the matter. Pupils are now seek
ing places for the fall term, which
opens on Tuesday, September 10.
