The Anglo-Rgyp- tian expedition is now encamped here awaiting orders to move upon the po- sitions occupied by the epemy. Mi- owarat is situated about five miles from Dongola, and, uniess the unex- pected happens, the strength of the dervishes in the Dongola district will be thoroughly overthrown. Spies in the employ of the inteili- gence department who have returned from the camp of the emir of Dongola report that Wad Bishara has decided to resist the Anglo-Egyptian advance to the utmost and has threatened with death any of his followers who retreat. The report that Dongola had been reoccupied by the dervishes is incor- rect. The Abouklea this morning re- turned to Dongola, upon the instruc- tions of Sir Herbert Kitchener, and commenced bombarding the forts and earthworks. Fire was kept up until the former were dismantled and the earthworks were rendered compara- tively less. Therefore, even should the dervishes succeed in reoccupying the place they will find very little to protect them against the fire of the Anglo-Egyptian forces. MGR, MARTINELLI.

CONSTITU CIONAL CONVENTION, North Dakota Voters May Have a Chance to Decide the Matter, Bismarck, N. D., Sept. 24—A per- | emptory writ of mandamus has been issued by Judge Corliss, of the su- preme court, to C. M. Dahl, as secre- tary of state, commanding him to show cause why the voters of the state should not have an opportunity to vote on the question of another constitu- tional convention. This is in relation to the certifying of the matter on the official ballot. The resolution calling for a vote on the matter recommended that the voters express themselves on the question. The secretary of state held that this language did not direct him to certify the matter for a vote, and decided not to do so. J. B. Wine- man of Grand Forks, who introduced the resolution in the legislature, ap- plied to Judge Corliss for a writ of mandamus and it was issued to-day. The writ is returnable before the preme bench in Fargo Sept. 30, when the matter will be argued.

Ly ftassia’s Ruler is now Visiting the Queen of England. (Copyright, 1896, Associated Press. Leith, Scotland, Sept. 24.—The Rus- sian yachts, Standard and ote Star, were sighted at the entrance of the Firth of Forth at 10:80 this morning, and the news was immediately tele- graphed to the Prince of Wales, who was in charge of the arrangements for the reception of the ezar and czarina, and who will accompany the Russian visitors to Balmoral. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, M. de Stael, the Russian embassador to the court of St. James, Lord Roseberry and a number of high military officials, arrived at the ejtty from Dalmeny at 11 o’clock, and were received by an escort of the Eniskillen dragoons. Rain was falling heavily, and the sky and general surroundings were most forbidding; but, in spite of this, enormous crowds of people lined the way to the docks and greeted the royal party with the greatest enthusi- asm. The steamer Tantallon Castle, with the royal party, proceeded down the firth. ‘The channel fleet, which lined the firth of Forth, saluted as the party traversed the lines. The Russian imperial yachts on their arrival were saluted by the fleet and anchor. immediately dropped The Tantallon Castle soon alongside the Standard. Wales, the duke of Connaught and M. de Stael went on board and welcomed the czar and czarina to Leith. The greetings exchanged were most affec- tionate. ‘The people of Leith and its vicinity had turned out in great numbers, de- termined to give the imperial travelers a hearty welcome to the shores of Scotland. The whole harbor was full of merchant vessels from all parts of the world, and they were all decked from stem to stern with bunting and placed in the neatest possible trim, so that after passing through the lines of powerful warships the progress of the Standard up the Firth of Forth was like a parade. Extraordinary Precautions, The precautions taken afloat for the protection of their majestics were un- precedented, it is believed, in naval annals. Picket boats, steam launches and torpedo boats of the smaller class from the warships Majestic, Magnifi- cent, Repulse and resolution, each de- tachment commanded by a lieutenant, formed a complete net around the Russian imperial yacht in order, os- tensibly, to prevent the shore boats from crowding about the Standard, but in reality to prevent any possibilf- ty of an attempt to commit a dyna- mite or other outrage. The shore boats were in such vast numbers on the water that there is no doubt that the precautions taken by the British naval authorities were warranted. The precautions adopted ashore were equally thorough, although few peo- ple give more than a passing thought now to the alleged dynamite conspir- acy supposed to have been discovered Scotland Yard. On the Tantallon le, ashore, on the train which was to take their majesties to Balmoral, at different places along the route, a Bellatar and about Balmoral itself, were picked members of the Russian secret ce and the most trusted members of the czzr’s nihilist de- tectives.

The train in waiting at the jetty is what is known as the “Queen's Spe- cial,” a train especially built for the use of her majesty, and containing every convenience. At Balmoral the visiting rulers were welcomed by Queen Victoria. FOUL PLAY FEARED. Spaniards Thought to Have Com- mitted a Murder. Chicago, Sept. 24.—A. D. Powers, the director and manager of the Cuban Relief corps, has mysteriously disap- peared, leaving not the slightest trace behind. Jt ts the opinion of his that the Spaniards are at the bottom of the case and that Powers has met with foul play. Mr. Powers came to Chicago with his wife and two chil- dren ten days ago. A week ago Mon- day Powers received a letter from Mr. Palma of New York, the head of the Cuban Relief corps of the United States, instructing him, on the au- thority of Gonsolo de Quesada, to col- lect funds and turn them over to the New York oftice. On Friday Don Gon- solo de Quesada, under orders of Di- rector General Pahna, came to Chi- cago to inquire into the relief fund be- ing collected by Powers. It is said that Powers sent word to New York that he had $500 and ten car loads of goods. E. I’. Cragin accompanied Don Quesada to the office of Mr. Powers and had a talk with him. It was found that he had about $500 and but a limited supply of clothing, which he turned over. It is not known how much money he had besides this, but the amount could not have been large.

ALL QUIET IN CAMP RIOTING MINERSIN LEADVILLEFLEE 1) THE MOUNTAINS OME om < Conservative Strikers Detiounce the Action of the Rioters and Dep er ee re a clare They Will Return tf work y —Details of the Midnight Battle at the Mines—Five Lives at Lezst Are Sacrificed in the Fighting. Leadville, Colo., Sept. 23.—Quiet pre- vails here now and no further violence is anticipated. It is generally be- lieved that the men who fired the Coronado shaft house and who at- tacked the Emmett mine, but were re- pulsed, have fied to the mountains and will be seen no more. They are said to be miners from the Coeur d’Alene country who were engaged in the riots there several years ago. The Coronado shaft house is in ashes and four innocent householders are homeless as the result of the at- tack upon the Coronado and Emmett mines. ‘The first attack was made upon the Coronado, which is in the city, being only half a dozen blocks from the postoflice and surrounded by residences. The Coronado shaft house was built on a large embankment en- closed by logs and the machinery is fifty feet above the street level. A heavy plank barricade was’ erected around the machinery and shaft house when the mine resumed operations last month and the house was well stocked with provisions, Winchesters and am- munition. Beyond assaults on worl ingmen seen coming from the mine at divers times, no overt act of violence had been attempted against this mine, until 1 o’clock a few bullets struck the barricade and the men on guard prepared for action. It was a night attack upon the prop- erty. Judging from the sounds of the fight, it came from the east. ‘There was no confusion, no crowd on the street. The first intimation which those down town received of the trouble was a number of shots. The shots came scattered at first, then fast- er and faster. All the streets west of the Coronado were deserted, with the exception of three or four persons at- tracted by the shooting. Dynamite Used. Suddenly, after twenty-five minutes of firing, a sheet of flame burst out, followed by a terrible detonation, the attacking party using dynamite. The firing then seemed to slack up slightly. Occasione'!y a bullet went through the air, and ther a sheet of flame from Kighth or Ninth streets. It was evi- dent that an attempt was being made to fire the property. East of the engine house are several tanks of fuel oil, and the attack concentrated on this point. There a sheet of flame and @ sputtering as though of blazing pawder. The en- gine rooms was in flames. A few mo- ments later and the clang of the fire engines was heard coming up the street. But it was not for them to save the Coronado. It was marked for destruction. Five armed men held the firemen at bay. When the hose cart reached the corner, the hose was be- ing unreeled and the marshal and his men were getting ready for action, when three men appeared around the corner and compelled the firemen, with threats, to stop work. The men in the shaft house were finally driven from the fort, but fought to the last. As they ran over the high trestle work a dozen shots were fired, but the men reached the dump in safety and es- caped. By this time a large crowd had gath- ered, hundreds ready to st, but held at bay by the rioters and fire- bugs, who were concealed near the building. But presently as the sheets of flame rolled over the buildings it was apparent that unless there was timely action the buildings in the vi- cinity were doomed. The firemen ral lied, for by this time hundreds of cit- izens, armed with rifles, appeared and guarded the fire department and vol- unteers. All attention was devoted to saving the houses in the vicinity, but in spite of every effort, four dwellings on East Eighth street were destroyed. Attack Upon the Emmett. At 3:30 a. m. an attack was made on the Emmett. There were over a hundred shots tired, but the attack was repulsed. The Coronado people heard of the coming of trouble but the supposition was that the attack was to be made at the Emmett. Soon after the de- struction commenced many of the izens responded quickly, armed with rifles and shotguns, but they could do little in fighting the fire and dynamite. Foreman O’Keefe was shot from be- hind just after he turned a stream on the fire at the Coronado. The first at- tack at the Coronado was made with dynamite near the oil tanks. The men within the enclosure returned the at- tack and a fusilade of bullets followed, put the dynamite did its work well. It is charged that the lawlessness was due to a mob of strikers, princi- pally from the Coeur d’Alene country, who have long been breeding trouble in Leadville, and who, seeing that the strike was nearing an end, were de- termined to make a final stroke. This assertion is largely made by the peace- ful miners of the camp. There was every evidence that the strike was broken. Many miners had announced their intention of going to work. Af- ter being repulsed at the Emmett mine the mob, which numbered not over fifty persons, fled the town and are hiding in the hills. Hundreds of miners. say they will go to work at once. They utterly denounce the extremists and say their action has lost the miners the strike. Five men were killed and half 2 dozen injured in the fight. All the killed and injured are miners except William O'Keefe, a fireman, who ¥ + shot and killed while turning gr he water at a hydrant. Some Turks Killed. London, Sept. 23.—A dispatch from Athens to the Daily Telegraph says that 200 msurgents have defeated a battalion of ‘Turkish troops near Grovenu, in Macedonia, and that a hundred Turks were killed, the rest being completely routed. © Rebber Com New York, Sept.
