CAiEO.Feb. 5,-Advices regarding the defeat of Baker Pasta are con- flictintr. but the followinfdfitails hmra bten received: Baker Pasha began his advance from the entrenchment at Trinkitat Sunday. His forces con sis ed of 3000 troops, badly armed and short of ammunition, many of' whom showed an unwillingness to proceed. Baker Pasha had sent from Trinkitat to Cairo an urgent appeal for rifles to replace the old muskets, with which a number of his troops were armed. In reply he received orders to try and force his way to Tokar without delay, and with the English officers connected with the J expedition uegan me marcn wiin tne -expectation of defeat Spies had falsely reported the road clear with the exception of small bands of rebels. Monday forenoon a portion of the advance encountered the body of Isman Degna's troops, and the fight ensued, which was more of a rout than a battle. Suakem, Feb. 6. Baker Pasha lost all his camels and baggage in the fight. Most of the Egyptians officers and men bolted. Colonel Sartoris tried hard to rally them, but without success. Many were pursued into Trinkitat The European police and Turkish infantry were cut to pieces. Fourteen European and three native officers are missing. The fight began by a few Arab horsemen attacking Baker Pasha's cavalry, which fled. Baker then formed a square, which , the enemy surrounded.

The rebels captured five guns, COO, pounds of ammunition, dOO riues and atf enormous quantity of cartridges. A special cabinet council was held this morning for discussing the dis aster to Baker Pasha. Gladstone presided. Egyptian shares greatly declined. have . A correspondent writingf rom West : Union, under date of February 4,-1 says: Here is an important question ihat we cannot understand: Why is it that citizens of Oregon do not have fiqual rights with the citizens of other states of the Union? In 1847 there "was a number of our citizens robbed, outraged and murdered. There -were Dr. Whitman and others. For this XJovernor Abernethy proclaimed war against the Indians. The citizens rallied and, under the stars and tripes, in January and February, 1848, chastised them. After six months' suffering, the volunteers re turned and wro honorably dis charged. The United States assumed the war debt and paid it, or pretended to do so. But that is not the ques tion. The question is, "Why is it that no pension is allowed a wounded of disabled soldier of the war?" Pen sions have been applied for, and the commissioner informs us that there is ' jfo record that Colonel Gilliam, or the captains under him, was ever mus tered into the service. Certainly there must be a record at Washington thas they were paid for such services. Have the people been neglected for thirty-six years, or have their rights ieen disregarded? -Is .there anyone ' id ask for us our rights in congress? i Have Wistar's balsam or wild cherry Always at hand.

New Eng- (land, dinner, lienry Ward Ueecner, I replying to the toast, "The Pilgrims ( and Puritans ," stepped far out of his i 77 A deliver an elaborate apology for Mormon polygamy. Admitting that polygamy "is not the outgrowth of civilization," he insisted that it must not and cannot be restricted by law, and should be let alone to the rectifying influences of moral and in tellectual forces. He compared all legal assaults upon it to the efforts of a cat to eat a wasp. "She darts at it: she scrambles with it; but she can't chew it up," said the reverend and eccentric philosopher. He regards it as he does any other "mistaken be lief in politics or religion," and calls any man "who wants to extirpate it by force or law, a Puritan," as distin guished from a Pilgrim, who is a man believing in moral forces. Itis noth ing to Beecher, nor is it much to the argument of the question, either, that he is iu the minority. A man of a cause may be right, just, wise, and still opposed by the great mass of intelligence. That was the situation of the Abolitionists for half a century. They were right, but the majority were against them. The slaveholders were as a thousand to one polyga mist; and the law sustained them the law of the United States; where as the Jaw of this country condemns pdlygamy as a great crira against nature, and so do the laws of all en lightened countries. Like the polyg amic Is, the slaveholders justified their institution on Biblical and religious grounds. "Solomon the wise, the iavome ? ea: .&V .? ormons, crimes invoked for its destruction. Mr. Beecher was not "a Pilgrim" men. ne was lor lorce anu law to I with the answer: "This is our relig- ion. it was boiomon s. it is a .Di vine institution with us, which hu man reason and human law may not touch. Wo are above the law and the constitution wherein these are against our religion." Well, supposo they should go out and make slaves of tho Indian tribes in Utah and set UP that slavery is a part of their njnajJ.ed: Denny from Oregon, and Senator Dolph and Kepresentative George, together with other Republicans on the Pacific coast, have espoused his cause and propose to see that justice is done him. In consideration of the British Columbia government having agreed to hand over certain provincial lands to the Dominion government, the Canadian parliament will be asked to vote S750.000 to aid in the construc tion of a line of railway -on Vancou ver island, also 8250,000 to pay the provincial government of British Co- Innibia or the purchase of a dry aocK at n.squimiiii, ana sucn aaai tion sum as may have been expended in its construction. Should parlia ment ratify this provisional agree ment entered into by the provincial and Dominion governments, the work of construction on the railway will be proceeded with immediately." The Sun says: There are two ends to be served by building the Cana dian Pacific Bailway. One is that it may serve as the means of protect ing the Dominion from warlike de signs on the part of the United States and the other is to sell the landp. From such sales it is hoped that the cost of construction may.be reim bursed, while the road will be pro vided with something to do in trans porting the products of the country settled along the line. But as for paying expenses and dividends upon the Pacific Bailroad, whew! Life does not count by years. Some suffer a lifetime in a day, and so grow old between the rising and setting of the sun. Proof Against Blzzards. Messrs. Steed & Co., druggists, at Bethel, Minn., says we sell more of the great pain-cure, St. Jacobs Oil, than all the rest we have in the store. It never fails to oure. All the patent medicines advertised In this p&per, together with the choicest Cerfumery. and toilet articles, etccan e bought at the lowest prices, at J. W. Conn's drug store, opposite Ociden hctel, Astoria. The New Cardinals. Of tho six cardinals to be created by the pope the 21st of February, one is certain to be an American, another an Irishman. Archbishop Gibbons, of Baltimore, it is generally believed, will get the red hat to be sent to this country, although Archbishop Wil liams, of Boston, is also mentionedin connection with the prospective honor. Dr. Williams took first rank at the recent conference at Borne fls theologian, debater, and as an ag gressive defender of American ideas and polity. All the prelates from the United States made an excellent im pression, it appears, but the Boston bishop stood high above the accom panying ecclesiastics. For these rea sons and because he is a native Amer ican, educated in American public schools, a hearty republican, and in his younger days was a warm sup porter of Garrison, Phillips, and the abolitiojiLsis. his being honored by Borne would be grateful to thousands of Americans outside the pale of the Roman church. Concerning the California and Ore gon land grant, the S. F. Chronicle of the Cth says: "The grant was made eighteen years ago, and the road built soon afterwards nearly to its present terminus. Then, as the coun try beyond was hard to penetrate, as the trade of Oregon did not seem to warrant it, and as congress seemed inclined to give all the granted lands, work was discontinued. The mana gers of the Central Pacific felt sure of the grant, and as they had obtained, at a comparatively small expenditure, the trade of the rich rally of the Sacramento, they could afford to wait for the rest Accordingly they waited till Yillard got possession of the Northern Pacific, and began to make preliminary survevs with a view to connecting San Francisco with his Oregon system. Then they awoke to the danger of threatened competition, and agreed with him to extend their road from Bedding, the then ter minus, to the state line, where it would meet the Willamette valley road. It is this programme which they are engaged on at present, though judging from what we hear of the difficulties of the route, its completion is remote, and still further postponed, perhaps, by the personal troubles of Villar J. Morrison's bill for tariff reduction proposes to put lumber for wharfing and in unhewn state on tho free list This practically abolishes the duty on lumber on the Pacifio coast, for Brit ish Columbia lumbermen, with tho Chinese whom they employ almost exclusively, can send unhewn logs into Washington territory by the millions, and drive tho white men there and in Oregon out of business. The lumbermen of Pugot Sound, in such competition, would either have to cut down the wages of white em ployes to tho Chinese standard or leave the business. Chinamen can bo imported into British Columbia and wages can be kept down, whore as no man on this side of tho line could create such competition in wages.
