WATER IS' THE DESERT.
The Massacre of th Kalmucks.
The Soudan campaign, from first to
last, has been a comment on the vest
value of water in the east. One of
the most terific episodes ever record-edHn-history'is'the
flight of the Tor
gote Tartars from the Kussian front
iers to those of China,, about a cen
tury ago. Throughout this a-RTul
journey across the pathless, -waterless
desert the JBash&rs and Khirghises
followed on the heels of the flying
Kalmucks, and the continuous trail
of corpses told a fearful story of un
ceasing conflict and perpetual massa
cre. The desperate persistence of
escaping hosts in pushing on was
eoaallgd by the frenzied cruelty of
those T?bo pursued them, until the
scenes of the carnage and brutality
that .ensued -were such that it seemed
as "if a nation of madmen -was flying
before a nation of fiends." But the
horrible climax -was only reached at
the end of their 2,000 miles of disas
trous pilgrimage, -when, after a los3 of
400,000 of their number, the Kal
mucks, mad from thirst, came in sight
of the lake of Tengis. Hundreds of
the pursuers and pursued had al
ready lost their reason from their
dreadful sufferings. Thousands were
being borne along upon camels and
horses, helplessly exhausted by two
days' want of water. But. as soon as
the lake came in view the Bashkirs
and Kalmuoks alike seemod to forget
ineir pmiess naireus, aim me vase
hosts, reduced now to about two
hundred thousand, rushed in a body,
with frantic eagerness, to the antici
pated solace. InDeQuincey's terrific
pages the dtory is told with consum-
Tnsxtft trnmr: fnrrav The CJhinesfl Em
peror, happening with a force of cav-1
airy to be at the very spot, saw what j
waa happening, and sent ontlns dol
diera to protect hi.- returning- sub
jects. But there was time enough
before .the horsemen roached the
seeno for one of the most ferocious
conflicts ever recorded against man.
In the general rush towards the
saving water all discipline and com
mand were lost all attempts to pre
serve a rear guard neglected the
wild Bashkirs rode in among the in
cumbered people and slaughtered
them by wholesale, and almost with
out resistance. Screams and tumult
uous shouts proclaimed the progress
of the massacre: but none heeded,
none halted all alike, with faces'
blackened by the heat and with;
tongues drooping from the mouth,!
continued with maniacal haste tow
ards the lake. The Bashkir was af
fected by the same misery as the Kal
muck, and into the lake the whole
vast -body of enemies Hushed, forget
ful of all things but one almighty in
stinct The absorption of their
.thoughts in one maddening appetite-
lasted for a single half hour, but
in the next arose a final scene of part
ing vengeance. Far and wide the
waters of the solitary lake .were in- i
stantly dyed red with blood. Hero
rode a party of savage Bashkirs, hew
ing off heads as fast as the swathes
fall before the mower's soythe; there
stood unarmed Kalmuoks in a death
grapple with their detested foes, both
up to the middle in water. Every
moment the lake grew more polluted,
and yet every moment fresh hosts
came up to the water and rushed in,
not able -to resist their frantic thirst,
and swallowing large draughts, visi
bly contaminated with slaughter.
"Wherever the lake was shallow
eaough to allow of men raising their
'heads above the surface there, for
scores of acres, were to be seen all
forms of ghastly fear, of agonizing
struggle, of spasm and death, and
"the fear of death revenge and the
lunacy of revenge until the martial
spectators, of whom there were not a
ew; averted their eyes with horror,
86 theyiiode down to the lake to the
rescue of the hapless fugitives.
This undoubtedly is one of the
-most striking instances of catas
trophe .arising from the absence of
water in the .desert ever chronicled,
but' who cannot recall, from works of
travel, or, indeed, from history,
numerous other illustrations of the
'game fierce peril of thirst? "We our
selves can not have failed to note
s," now, in recent campaigns in Egypt.
verything hinged upon the water
supply. The army moved in detach
znents, so as best to economize it;
camps were pitched so as to utilize it
to the oitmostj the. hours of battle
were arranged m obedience to its in
exorable and all-important demands.
' It was at the wells of Teb and of
Tamai that the Arabs fought their
fiercest. .Our soldiers in Egypt were
atonished, when tramping along the
apparently hopeless desert, to see
how luxuriant crops and gardens al
ternated with bare sand, how a mere
rill of watef- turned the wilderness
into a farmstead and charmed up
.ioJthe.surface of the soil all the la
tent magic of its fertility. In the
Saharahs of the earth, whether in the
eastern hemisphere or the west, water
ia indeed a magician, as wonderful
in the suddenness and. completeness
of its wprk as any genii of lamp and
ring. If has the potency of the
philosopher's stone, and is striven
for as the Bum of all that is to be de
aired. Industry without it ia a para
lytic, a cripple. "With it. it pos
sesses a talisman that transfigures
everything, makes man a giant, and
blesses every work of his hand.
Speakingof parts of western America,
a recent writer says: "Water here is
everything that is precious. "Without
it, the sage-brush laughs at man, and
the horn of the jaek-rabbit is exalted
against him. "With it, corn expels
the weed, and the long-eared rodent
tk!pjSwe& outf possession. "With
out it, grease-wood and grophers di
vide the wilderness between them.
. With it, homesteads spring up and
gather the orchards about them.
J Wifbmt it, the silence of the level
deeer is broken only by the coyote.
:.Wi$h" it,' come the laughter of run-'iifaftf-broolcs,
the hum of busy markets
and ihe cherry voices of the mill
wheels by the stream. Without it,
.ifcej prld seems a dreary failure.
.'With, it, it brightenB into infinite
''useibilities. No wonder then that
'S& Wre prize it, exhausted ingenu
flnobtaining it, fought about it
-wtder they do-aot worship it
Men have worshiped trees, wind and
sun with no greater cause.'' Chango
the phrases here and there, and the
passage might stand for Asia, for
nothing is eo striking in many parts
of the east, notably. Arabia and the
eastern provinces of Africa, as the
supreme importance of water. Lon
don Telegraph.
A Political Key Xote.
New Yobk, May 10. The World
this morning foreshadows its cam
paign policy. It says: "The nation
has been hurt by the degradation of
an ex-president of -the United States
and ex-general of the army becoming
a speculator, a Wall street borker; by
an ex-governor of New York making
a fortune out of his friends through
a "blind pool and staking it in Wall
street adventures; by an ex-secretary
of the United States treasury plung
ing into the muddy watera of Wall
street gambling; by seeing a United
States senator, chairman of the Be
publican national committee, figuring
as manipulator of a bankrupt corpo
ration; by the spectacle of bank presi
dents betraying their trust and spec
ulating with, other people's money.
These are evils from which we cannot
escape, unless we change the moral
tone of the community. To do this
we must begin at the fountain head
of corruption. There must be a
change at Washington." The Stm is
following in the same track.
Randall Continues Good Unmored.
Washikotok, -May 16. The tariff
reformer? and the protectionists in
the house have within tho last two
days commenced charging each other
with the responsibility for the panio
in Wall street Opinion is thereforo
divided whothor the defeat of the
Morrison bill or tho agitation of the
tariff reformers can bo held to ac
count, liandall has been charged
with causing tho trouble by several
democratic newspapers. It is claimed
tho passage of the bill would have
created a hard squeeze in Wall street
by preventing a shrinkage in railroad
stocks. When asked about the mat
ter to-day Randall smiled good
humoredly, and showed no disposi
tion to become angry. "That's all
nonsense," he said, "and positively
silly. I do not pay auy attention to
theso things.
John Sherman says: "We are
neither in a panic nor on the verge of
it, unless my judgment is seriously
at fault. I look upon the present
trouble ob simply the result of the
overtrading in securities, that for a
long time have all nearly been the
football of Wall street While there
is business depression there is no real
financial distress, and the resources
of tho country are plenty and staple.
The present troubles will have no
bearing on the presidential campaign.
I do not think they will extend into
the country, or have an influence on
the political parties."
The keepers of tan games at Port
land are said to have made an open
offer of $500 for the death of any one
who gives information to the police
by whioh they may be arrested.
