TROOPS FOR THE FRONT rr LONDON, March 19.—The campaign in Egypt and the vast incidental results which flow therefrom exclude all other top- ies from the Lerdon papers. The rap- prochement between Great Britain and the dretbund is an accepted fact, and surmises are indulged in of an éffective alliance be- tween thes. four powers. The Times says: “A rumor was current in London last evening that the Italians had evacuated Kassala Saturday. We be- lieve the report {s correct.” The Times says in an editorial: “The evacuation of Kassala will entirely alter the whole situation for Italy, and it is only too likely to react seriously upon the posi- tion in Egypt.” The article also points out that England, with the support of the dreibund, com- [mands a majority of the Egyptian debt commissionaires, and that therefore France’s refusal to consent to the expense of the Nile campaign being charged to the Egyptian budget will not avail. “If thc Kassala news be true,”’ the Times goes on to say, “the enemy will probably carry the war into the territory still held by the Italians. Under these circum- stances, any help rendered to Italy will be doubly welcome to Germany and Austria. Whether Osman Digna moves in the direc- tion of Suakin or Khartoum, he is assured to give the Egyptian troops plenty of work.” A dispatch from Cairo to the Times says it is reported at Port Said that Gen. Bara- tieri passed through there incognito two days ago. The Italian government has for- bidden the boarding of any transports homeward bound. The Cairo correspondent of the Times supposes that the passing ill-humor ex- pressed there is due to the Dongola expe- dition having been decided upon in London before consulting the khedive. “But the palace organ, El Moaiad,” the correspon- dent continues, “‘which has been most bit- ter in attacking England, has published an address, exhorting the troops going to the front to do their duty loyally and glo- Tiously.”” Ri The Chronicle has an. editorial which comments upon the crisis and upon the queen’s conferring a colonelcy upon the Austrian emperor, and asks whether the dreibund has not become a quadruple al- Hance. A Berlin dispatch to the Standard quotes a Brussels dispatch to the Vossische Zei- tung, which says that King Leopold of Bel- gium is going to London in April to ne- gotiate with England with reference to the advance of ‘the Congo State troops toward the Nile. ‘The Feeling in Paris. A Paris dispatch to the Daily Telegraph says: “The Marquis of Dufferin had another interview today with M. Berthelot, at the weekly foreign office reception. Everybody regards M. Berthelot’s note as throwing down the gauntlet to England. Some poli- ticians view it in the Nght of a practical ultimatum. Denunciation of England is heard on all sides. Nobody behind the scenes believes that the foreign office is- sued the note. Ii was probably drawn up at a secret council. The fact must be pat- ent to all that the government has not played its cards very cleverly, becayse, at the moment when England was isolated, a false move on the part of France has to bring England and the drei- bund again into harmony.” 5 The Paris correspondent of the Daily News says: “The French official + position on the Egyptian question seems vague and uncertain. It seems this morning as if the worst might happen. The popular half- penny papers had flaming headings, he! alding ‘The French Ultimatum for Eng- Jand,’ etc. Tonight the official weather- cock has changed and the tone is almost The Marquis of Dufferin be read the first account of his interview with M. Berthelot.” The Daily News also has a dispatch from “The aftitude of the ence even upon Russia. It is therefore the Russo-Turkish en- tente, whether the sultan will be hopeful enough of Russian support to assist France in opposing the Nile expedition.” Egyptian Troops Off For the Front. The khedive at Cairo yesterday witnessed the departure of the Egyptian battalion for the front. He bade a cordial farewell to the officers of the battalion. The reserves are arriving at Cairo and new Soudanese battalions are forming. Col. Hunter, with a strong advance guard, will proceed immediately to Akashes, which will be strongly fortified. The Arab-Anglophobe press violently at- tack the expedition and accuse Lord Salis- bury snd Mr. Curzon, who made the sitate- ment of the purposes of the expedition in the house of commons, of falsehoods. Too Much Patriotism Arouxed. The French government gives evidence that the announcement made by M.

All work guaranteed for i e- Nile in a conversation with the Marquis of Dufferin has been taken much more seri- ously than they were prepared for. The outbreak of approval from the French press and the people and the popular clamor for even more decisive measures of protest seem to have alarmed the govern- ment and awakened an apprehension that they are being precipitated into a position of hostility to the plan of Great Britain, backed by the approval of the dreibund, which might entail the gravest conse- quences. The. enthusiasm awakened in France, in fact, seems to enter more into the apprehensions of the French ministers than the irritation abroad.

BLOgH P “aleante-trestive ‘on the A Bill Agraed Upon by the House Special Subcommittee. Vital Principle is fovernment Con- trol, With Posstble Future Owner- ship—Bonds to Be Guaranteed. Tomorrew the House committee on com- merce will take up the Nicaragua canal Dil The bill, which probably will be pushed in the House, was agreed upon yesterday by the special subcommittee which has for several weeks wrestled with the many schemes introduced. But little Weight has been given by the committee to the report of the special commission which was sent to the isthmus last season to look over the ground, for members of the subcommittee believe that the commis- sion greatly overestimated the necessary cost of the work. Mr. Mahon of Pennsylvania is the author of the plan which meets the views of the committee, for the bill adopted is one introduced by him at the beginning of the session, and but two amendments were made to it. Government control, with pos- sible ownership by the United States in the future, is the yital principle of the bill. Government ownership at present was thought trapossible, because the conces- sions obtained by the Maritime Canal Com- pany from the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica were granted on condition that they be not transferred, and particu- lar prohibition was made against the!r ces- sion to any other government. It is thought by Mr. Mahon and some members of the committée that Nicaragua and Cos- ta Rica m'ght consent to ownership by the United States, but several years—Mr. Ma- hon says not less than six years—would be required to secure the necessary legislation from them. The bill provides for the re- organ‘zation of the Maritime Canal Com- pany; the payment of all its debts, so that a satisfactory statement shall be presented to the Secretary of the Treasury; the se- lection of a board of fifteen directors, ten of them named by the United States, three by ‘the canal company and one each by Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The issue of bonds may not exceed one hundred million, with interest at 3 per cent; the bonds to be guaranteed by the United States and redeemed at the pleas- ure of the government. In consideration for {ts guarantee of bonds the United States is to be given the stock of the com- pany to an umount equal to the bonds is- sued. The amount of stock to ne given th2 canal company in payment for the ex- penditures and work it has put ‘upon the cana! is not to excced $7,040,000. Four mil- lions of stock is to be issued to ihe Nica- raj in government and one and a half millions to Co: Ri The bonds are to be secured iy a first mortgage for the United States, drawn by the Attorney General. They are only to be issued as they are neede@ for the work of building the canal—$10,(KW,000 to be advanced at the beginning—aid the stock is to be is- sued in corresponding amounts. Out of its net earnings the company is to pay, first the interest on its bonded debt, then a dividend on the stock, not to exceed 5 per cent, and the balance, if any, fund for the payment of principal and interest of the first mort- gage. The canal is to be built by three engineers of the United States army. The changes made ia the original bill in- crease the amount ef bends permitted to be issued from seventy to one hundred millions, and the amount of the stock to be given to the existing company from four and a half to seven millions. ————__+ e+ COLUMBIA TURN-VERE!

Board of Trade Committee of One Hundred. Meets, 0 PUSH THE’ MODIFIED BOND BILL Missionary Work to Be Under- taken Among Congressmen. PLANS MADE LAST NIGHT ‘ The first meeting of the committee of one hundred recently appointed by the board of trade from its own members was held at the rooms of the board last evening. The occasion was an explanation of the pro- posed basal sewer system by Mr. A. M. Read, chairman of the committee on sew- erage. The meeting was called to order by Mr. John B. Wight, secretary of the board, who briefly explained that the organization of the committee of one hundred was de- termined upon that members of the board not represented upon the regular standing committees might be given an opportunity to more actively exert themselves in pro- moting those measures favored by the board. Such a committee, it was thought, would be especially beneficial in an effort to secure the passage of the proposed sewer bond bill of $3,350,000. Mr. Wight then introduced Chairman A. M. Read of the committee on sewerage, who, by the aid of a map of the District, explained tie proposed sewer system. Pir, Read prefaced his remarks by stating what had been done in order to secure the passage of a bond bill, providing for the Issuing of $7,500,000 of bonds for the purpose of extending streets and enlarging the sewerage system of the District. The de- cision of Judge Cox in the matter of street extension had prevented a further prosecu- tion of chat matter fer the present, at least, and the board of trade had accordingly directed its efforts to securing the passaze of a three-million sewerage bond bill. Explaining the Sewer Plan. There had been prepared a comprehensive system of trunk sefvers, and Mr. Read em- phasized the fact that these trunk sewers, the plan of which was formulated by the sanitary commission, would not be con- nected directly with house sewers. The main object of these basal sewers would be to relieve the river front from Rock creek to the arsenal of the sewage with which the river 1s now polluted. The system has been approved by both Congress and the District Commisslonefs, and is designed to be effective until the population of the city reaches 800,00) or 1,000,430 people. The great stem or outlet of the system would run from a point near the District line in the north- east through the eastern section of the city, across the Eastern branch, and down the river for three mifes, at a point about off the naval magazige.’ Another. branch would follow Rock ¢réek for quite a di tance, and then eastward to the north of the mall, and then southeasterly to the stem across the Eastern branch: It wes the plan approved by the sanitary commission, and part of the system had already been com- d. strict Commissioners, however, op- posed the bill because It dropped the street extension part of the scheme. of improve- ments, they believing that there Is a good chanc: to secure the passage of a bond bill providing for both the extension of streets and the proposed sewer system. The laboring classes favored the sewer bil, and it has reccived also the approval of the local press. Mr. Donath Inquired if there Is the slightest chance for the Sewer bill going through, and Mr. Read said there was a good fighting chance for ft. Mr. Donath expressed doubt as to,whether it could get through the Hou: Replying to an inquiry from a resident of Brightwood, Mr. Read explained that the sewer system proyidel for in the bill woull be the base for all suburban sew- ers, and it embraced proposed extensions to the District line at Takoma Park and two other points on the District line. The city not alone, but the whole bi 3 be benefited, said Mr, Read, confident that no member of Congress who could witness the condition of affairs in James Creek canal and that locality would refuse to vote for the Dill. Missionary Work. What the committee of one hundred should do, he said, would be to engage in missionary work among Congressmen. If that were done, faithfully and well, the passage of the bill would, he believed, be secured. If the District Commissioners would only favor the bill, he was confident it would pass. But they wanted a bond bill which included both the street extension and the sewer plans, and he understood that Commissioner Powell was preparing a Dill authorizing the issuance of $10,000,000, of bonds for both sewers and the extension of st He had, however, informed the Commissioners that the board of trade would push the sewer bill regardless of their opposition to it, unless it included a provision for the extension of streets. Those present unanimously approved the proposed sewer bond bill, and it was decided that maps and pamphlets planatory of the system should be pre pared. It was also decided that cach member of the committee of one hundred should be addressed-by the secretary of the board, asking them to state what mein- ber or-members of Congress they cou! fluence. The committee then adj subject to call. Among those present last evening were Samuel S. Bond, L. J, Bryant, Walter C. Clephane, George H. Dana, August’ Donath, Julian C. Dowell, James R.

In an interview with Gen. Weyler, pub- lished in Madrid, the captain general of Cuba, is quoted as; saying that he ts con- fident of the eventual-success of the Span- ish cause; but the “contradictory demands of prudence and extreme measures, com- bined with the difficulties arising from the question of belligerency apd the elections,” may compel him io resign. He expressed great surprise at the charges made against him in the United States, “in view of his great prudence pending the settlement of the question of beWligerency.”” Gen. Weyler is atsd credited with having sald that the attftuge of Congress stops the normal develo, it of the war. Continuing, the: igterview places Gen. Weyler or record assaying: that numbers of persons are joining the insurgents from all parts of Cubay and even froin the capital, Havana, because they hope they will be recognized ag belligerents. ‘The poldiets, the captain general is said to have addded, are fighting hero- ically, and it is impossible to ask them to do more.

A Political Turn Given. Them by Mr. Dinsmore's Remarks Gen. Grosvener Says ‘the Charge of Using Money for McKi ° Falschood—Mr. Count ley in a Speech. Representative Dinsmore in his speech in defense cf Bayard yesterday referred to the Chandler interview, in which it was charged that Mr. McKinley’s friends were levying contributions on manufacturers. Mr. Grosvenor asked if Mr. Dinsmore in- dorsed these charges. “I give you the testimony of a distin- guished republican,” replied Mr. Dinsmore. “Personally it is a matter seriously beyond my ken.” “I deny it,” said Mr. Grosvenor, em- phatically. “I stamp it as an unmitigated falsehood, and I defy anybody to prove it.” “When republican candidates are reach- ing out to the protected industries for aid,” returned Mr. Dinsmore, “it has no interest, dea it tends to prove what Mr. Bayard said.” “Mr. Chandler has magle those statements and Mr. Grosvenor has denied them,” in- terrupted Mr. Barrett of Massachusetts. “Will you deny, will anybody deny, that the mission to Italy was bargained for and sold for $50,0002" “I deny it,” shouted Mr. Sulzer of New York, “It is not true.” Mr. Dinsmore, continuing, read the fur- ther allegations of Senator Chandler about “boodle"’ and “fat frying,” to the great amusement of, the democrats. Mr. Bayard’s message, he concluded, “came as a glad message to the inanhood of America; to. those who believed that the masses should ‘hot be taxed for the benefit of the few. If others believed in taxation for special classes he cared not. ‘Let the galled jade wince” Mr. Cousins of Iowa followed in favor of the adoption of the resolutions. He raid: “This deliberate and unexpected brcach cf diplomatic etiquette, this ungrateful, un- provoked ard unbecoming insult to a ma- jority of the people of Aimerica, to her cis- tinguished living and to her honored dead, by one who bore their confidence, their mission and credentials, must not be left unchallenged since it has entered the an- nals of our diplomatic history.” Mr. Cousins read a letter of Minister Rush, who was minister to Paris in 1S4x, when he refused to present to the French government the resolutions adopted by the democratic national committee congratu- lating the national assembly of France on qe change of government in that coun- ry. = Mr. Bayard, he declared, toadied to the Cobden Ciub and to the school of Man- chester and to h's own prejudice, and told Greai Britain that protection In America had banished men of independent mind and character from its public councils, when he knew that the list of its illustrious ad- vocates, beginning with the distinguished names of Washington and Madison and Franklin, had never ceased to grow where progress marke the way, until it had re- corde] in the register of independent minds and fame the names of Clay, of Jackson and of Webster, of Lincoln and of Grant, of Garfield,.of Randall and of Blaine, and he knew that almost on the very day he uttered that indictment the list of indepen- dent minds that champion the doctrine of protection in America had grown to the greatest and most significant majority that ever spoke their independence at a popular clection in th's country.

They Seem to Be Impatient at the Slow Progress Gen. Weyler is Making. A friend of Cuba, speaking to a represon- tative of The Star today, said: “If arything were necessary to show the absolute inability of the authorities at Mad- rid to comprehend the situation in Cuba, the morning dispatches would supply it. Here comes the story now that ‘hey are growing impatient with Gen. Weylez, as they grew impatient with Gen. Campos. The man cf blood and terror is not coming up to expectations. He doesn't seem to be making any headway. Gomez and Maceo are still roaming over the island at will, just as they did before Weyler landed. It is plain enough from this that the Madrid officials, having rejected all of the reports ard suggestions of Gen. Campos, expected the Impossible even of Gen. Weyler. They had evidently persuaded themselves that the falure of Gen. Campos was due entire- ly to his humanity; that the policy that had been pursued in the ten-years’ war was all that wes necessary to bring this war to a speedy close. But they are finding them- selves mistaken. The times have changed. Even butchery has its limita*ions. Another Complication. “Gen. Weyler is doing what he can to execute his commission. Accompanying this story of impatience at Madrid is one from Havana, showing a serious embar- rassment growing out of the fury of the Weyler crusade. Some subordinate officer —probably with Gen. Weyler’s own career before his eyes, and fired with hope of be- coming the Weyler of the future—has be- come responsible, in the excess of his zeal, for the shooting of an American citizen, and the man not having been killed, an in- vestigation is on foot. This must puzzle and at the same time discourage Gen. Weyler. With his superiors at home com- plaining of too little zeal, and the facts on the island showing too much zeal, and bringing him into coilision with the Ameri- can authorities, he doubtless finds bis 1cad a hard one to travel. An Much Cooped Up as Campos Was. “Then he is just as much cooped up as ever General Campos was. Even his own advices show this. All Havana advices may be set down as lis, His press censor doc- tors every story sent through regular chan- nels, and even in these the fact cannot be disguised that the Spanish are helpless ex- cept in the larger towns and cities. And the truth probably is that they are becom- ing demoralized even theye. With demorali- zation always come cxcesses, and in the sorties that the Spanish troops make in an effort to prove that they are earning their salt many helpless people are probably terminated—or ‘cleaned cut,” as the Sp: minister prefers to have it expr “What if General Weyler should called?” was aske Weyler Will Not Be Recalled. “That need not be looked for. The only possible way for Spain to win is by the pclicy she has prescribed for Weyler, and which he fs better prepared and disposed to execute than any other man wearing her uniform. To recall Weyler, therefore, would be to throw up the sponge. No; Spain is hardly likely to recall him. She may Ie: ture him and prod him, and make it very uncomfortable for him, but it is difficult to see how she could go further with profit to herself. She is in for it now on the Weyier line. Her reeall of General Campos was the rejection of the policy of humanity and au- tonomy while the insurgents continued in the fleld. Nothing remains to her but the policy of subjection by terror and butehery, and even that, if it is to be executed at ail, must take but little time.
