Advices from Rear-Aduiiral Bedford, in command of Cape of Good Hope and West African stations, who has been co-operating with the land forces in the Britieh expedition on Brass river on the Uuinea coast, con firms the report of severe fighting in that locality. The admiral adds that Lieutenant Taylor, of the royal navy, and two men were killed and five men were wounded. The British advanced up Brass river February 13, captured several rebel strongholds and destroyed a number of of war canoes. Many of the natives were killed and the main body of rebels retreated into the iuterior. The follow in.. .u tlio liiitisli ailvanced further in land, and after sharp lighting captured and burned the native town of Nimbi. The natives, who lost heavily, tied from Nimbi to Bassouia followed by the British, who shelled the last mimed town, but did not proc. ed further in land. Sir Claude M. Macdonald, who personally directed the operations, sent an ultimatum to. the rebels that unless they surrendered' and gave up the prison era captured at Akassa a month ago further attack would be made on them. A later dispatch from Admiral Bed ford says the British expedition con sisted of the gunboats Widgeon and Thrush, two steamers belonging to the Niger protectorate, and the flagship St. George. ' On February 21 the rebels In twenty five war canoes attacked the British force at Sacrifice Island, but the fire of the natives was Ineffective, and three of the war canoes were sunk, after which the rest retired. The following day the intricate channels of the brass river were buoyed and the creek reeonnoi- "At daybreak February 23," continues Admiral Bedford's dispatch, "we com menced the attack, and after an obsti nate defense of a position naturally dif ficult a landing was gallantly effected and Nimbi completely burned. The force was withdrawn the evening fol lowing, after the residences of Kin Koko and the houses of the other chiefs had been destroyed." ... An additional dispatch received from Admiral Bedford this evening says that Fishtown, another town on Brass river, was destroyed by the British expedition ary force to-day. The admiral adds: "The Brass chiefs and people implicated in the attack upon Akassa have now been punished, and no further opera tions are contemplated." BLKW MANY THOUSAND TRIBESMEN.

ONE MORE EXPOSURE. j A Senaatlon Among the gplrltuallata of Cincinnati. ( Cincinnati, February 27. The Spirit ualists of this city are in an uproar over the exposure as a fraud of one of their most brilliant mediums, Even tne teaa ing Spiritualists admit her materializa tions were of the rankest sort. The most unpleasant exposure, and one that is likely to result in a damage suit and a criminal suit is this: The medium's name is Mrs. Nellie Ulrich. A Mrs. Reaver, of Portsmouth, had a wayward daughter, who is supposed to be in this citv. She desired her to come home, anil Mrs. Ulrich agreed to locate the girl and exert a charm that would cause her to return to her mother. Considerable money was spent, and the medium sent letters telling of progress. An accidental discovery by the mother led her to in vestigate, and she learned that her daughter had not been in this city, and was in another city, 400 miles away, and dangerously ill. Mrs. Ulrich says a spirit deceived her. A HAREM IN OHIO. .,,,, " " - - . - - .... . ... .. , . r.- AT "I ill y()Lt lt HILLSlKmO, OREGON. 11 1 una!) AY,.

When the westbound overland reached Stein's Pass to-nisht. soon after 6 o'clock, two masked men appeared on the station platform armed with six-shooters. One of them entered the engine cab and cov evered the fireman and engineer, while the other commanded a brakeman to cut off the car next to the engine and tender. As soon as this was done the engineer was ordered to proceed. Wnen they had gone three miles they stopped. The bandits carried a sack full of what appeared to be dynamite. This they placed beside the roadbed when the en gine stopped and then discovered that they had left the express car behind.

The hit Every Woman Welcome but She Mini be a Wife. Oam.ipolis. O.. February 27. A rival of the sultan of Turkey has juBt been discovered in East Gallipolls. He has been living here for two years with his wife and another woman, who acts in that capacity, the happiest relations ex isting between the three. Another of his adopted wives came over from West Virginia recently and came in on good terms, and then he had three. A few days ago another woman came there for refuge, and then he had four. Every thing went on swimmingly, between tak ing in washing and getting help from the township trustees and the "pound" parties, until the other night, when a 14-year-old girl appeared at the harem and sought shelter. It was given, she being very comely, and the man of the house having a big heart. When she learned the rules of the institution, that every newcomer had to become his wife, she objected and fled. The neighbors are greatly incensed, and are talking of hickory switches, duckings, tar and feathers, etc. Governor Hughes to Be Removed. Phosnix, Ariz., February 27.

A panic was narrowly averted at the Chestnut street opera house to-night at the pres entation of "The War of Wealth." At the conclusion of the third act a quan tity of cotton was set on are upon tne stage to represent the burning of a mill, J and the column of Are that shot up from the stage and the volume of smoke , made the scene too realistic to be pleas ant to the spectators. To add to the uneasiness of the audience the asbestos curtain of the house was sent down, and someone in the audience shouted "fire," , and a wild rush was made for the doors. Borne of the cool heads in the audience, however, shouted out that the fire was a part of the performance, and the panic stricken throng was quieted. During the panic three women fainted, and one was carrried in an insensible condition from the house. I The Presa-Tlmea Company. February 27.

The senate promptly confirmed the appointment, and official notinca tion will doubtless be sent to Colonel Beebe to-day.

Thecanners expect that the re cent appropriation of 20,000 by the Washington legislature will be sufficient when economically expended to estab lish two hatcheries at the points named on such a scale as will prove a powerful argument in favor of a more liberal ap propriation by the next legislature. At ft recent meeting of the Tacoma chamber of commerce the following resolution was introduced by R. G.

A deal has been consummated under' which J. E. Jennings, of Salt Lake, and aspociateswill purchase the Ridenbamrh canal near Boise and some 8.000 acres of land belonging to the company. Hie price paid is in the neighborhood of $350,000. The canal irrigates a law section of country below Boise, includ ing lands In the vicinity of Nampa. It is understood that an extensive coloni sation project is a part of the new own ers' scheme to be followed by the erec tion of extensive beet-sugar works. Mr. Jennings is prominently identified with the Utah Sugar Company. He has been investigating the Boise section for two years, and has said the soil and climate are peculiarly adapted to sugar-beet cul ture. An TJnconflrmed Rumor. Ahtohia. February 23.
