A PROPHET AT HOME. HE WIPES OUT THE ENGLISH SOUDAN, Lompox, November 22, —Ismail Pasha, ex-khedive of Egypt, said the disturb- ance in Soudan was due to the weakness of the central government at Cairo, Throughout Soudan he said much power was exercised by religious chiefs and derviches, who could be readily con- trolled by conciliatory measures and al- lowance of small stipend, a practice which had been unadyisedly discontin- ued. The sufferers by the discontinua- tion threw in their lot with the slave dealers, hence the present misfortune, which might have been avoided if the railway from Svaikiri to Derber on the Nile had been completed to Soudan. The abandonment of that scheme, he thought, was false economy. He attrib- uted the defeat of Hicks Pasha to the constitution of his force. Egyptian sol- diers needed more than other soldiers, a flag, military music, and all the eclat of war. Without these they would not and could not fight. The army included Arabi Pasha’s disbanded soldiers who had been sent up like malefactors. How could Hicks Pasha, he asked, fight with such material. The ex®khedive is not surprised at the calamity. He would not advise the sending of English troops to Soudan as such a eourse might pro- duce greater evils. After leaving the Nile, en route to Elobeid, some eight posts were estab- lished to keep up the line of communica- tion, which would require a total detail -of nearly 3,000 men, leaving 7,000 avail- ARMY IN able forces of all arms to meet 200,000 men reported under El-Mahdi. = Promi- | On nent sheiks under El-Mahdi in Septem- ber, claimed that his forces numbered 200,000, guns and rockets which they had taken from the Turks, but El-Mahdi had forbidden their use, and only spears and swords were to be used bye his fighting men. Official accounts state that the force under Hicks Pasha aggregated 10,600 men.

French papers express the opinion that the disaster will lead to permanent Eng- lish occupation of Egypt. 1t is believed the correspondent of The Graphic, accompanying, Hicks Pasha, was killed. FURTHER DETAILS. Catro, November ¢ 2 —Captain Hues ton, who was with Hicks Pasha’s forces and escaped disguised ns a dervish, says that on the way from the battle field he counted 160 wounded survivors of theen- gagement. Among these was a European artist named Power. Hicks Pasha had divided his army, sending half to Elobeid to demand the surrender of that place. Ho awaited tho arrival of Mahdi, who was advancing from the south- east. Mahdi, however, mot half of Hicks _Pasha's army advancing on Elobied and attacked it. Hearing the firing, Hicks'Pasha came up with the whole force and formed ahollow square. Mahdi brought up fresh regu- lars, who supposed they were soldiers captured when Elobied fell, and who agreed to take service under Mahdi. Theso numbered 5,000. The square of Hicks Pasha’s men was then broken, and his' army was annihilated The Engish officers who were with the Egyptian army fought gallantly. The European who escaped is thought to be O'Donovan or Frank Vizetelly of The London Graphic. Hicks Pasha had 1,000 soldiers and 2,000 camp followers, The Arabs numbered 200,000. Another report of the fight says Meh- di sent dervishes to treat with Hicks Pasha’s native ofticers, saying to the Egyptians, ‘‘we, like you,are Muesulmen; why fightt Surrender!” The dervishes were received by a vol- ley, and then the battle begun. Four thousand soldiers are now scattered among the small posts on the Nile. They will be concentrated at Khartoum, where there are already 2,000 troops. There are altogether from 16,000 to 20,- 000 soldiers in Soudan. The catastrophe seems for a moment to have wholly para- lyzed the Egyptian government. Unless very speedy action is taken it is feared Suakem will fall into the hands of tribes in revolt, acting in concert with Mahdi. The latter is thought to be near Khar- toum. If that place should be captured there would be no good defensible posi- tion between Mahdi and Cairo, except Minick, which is only six hours distant from Cairo. No one believes Mahdi will rest content with the conquest of Soudan. It is feared Turkey will inter- fere and insist on reconquering the lost province, Neither the English nor French wish this, The prospect thu: bristles with serious complications. ANNIHILATED TO A MAN. Loxpox, November 22.—The Times' Khartoum dispatch, dated the 20th inst., says: The most trustwerthy Sheiksin the service of thegovernment, whoarrived at Darren yesterday, report that 1,100 men, including Hicks Pasha, the governor general, and his entire staff, were annhi- lated in the defile at Kashgate, whither they were led by a treacherous guide. the morning of November 1 Hicks Pasha and his _entire army marched from Milbas. The guide led them to a rocky wooded defile, which was without water, @ and _ where an ambuscade had been prepared by the rebels, who were armed with rifles and artillery. Hicks Pasha was unable to use his guns for three days. The army, worn out by thirst, defended itself but on the fourth day it was annihilated to a man’ Vezetelly, Artere and 50 soldiers who were outside the camp came in and were taken prisonees, They were car- ried to Elobied. The rebels captured 36 Krupp, Nordenfeldt and mountain guns, all flags, munitions of war and camels. Therewere in all with Hicks Pasha about 1,200 souls, officers and men. Kordesjan is virtually lost. Col. Cocttogan was at Dovernwhen the sheiks arrived there. He at once proceeded to Khartoum, which he is arranging to do- | montary war material at Toulon is being OMAHA, N iB. FRI sity. The question of proparing supple- sidered. The governor of the French Cochin-China telographed Admiral Prisson, minister of - marine and colonies, that all French reinforce- ments and provisions landed at Haiphong have been torwarded to Hanoi, and the health of the troops was excellent. The governor had no special incident to com municate. He said several gunboats had been lightened to enable them to ascend the canal. The chamber of deputies discussed the estimates for war ships. Tho extreme loft attacked the attitude of the clergy and demanded a separationof church and state, and asked for a reduction of the budget by 600,000 francs. Prime Min- ister Forry said he hoped the question of weparation would shortly be settled, but meanwhile the terms of the concordat must be carried out. AFFAIRS IN IRELAND, PLOTS AND COUNTERPLOTS, Cnicaoo, November 22— -The Citizen's London cable says: The government em- igration scheme has raised a storm of in- isnation in Ireland. Bishops and priests of the west openly denounce, in the strongest language, the new effort boeing made to depopulate Ireland. Noatten- tion is paid to the lying denials of the Gladetone government, The clergy of Waestport conclude a series of resolutions by thanking The Dublin Freeman _for a timely exposure of the plot which meant transportation to thousands of Irishmen. Confidential emigration cir- culars are being issued. The opposition and orange riots have solidified all shades of decent Irishmen around Parnell. At the next election Parnell will carry 80 and perhaps ninety seats. Poole's trial for the mur- der of Kenney was concluded in the most flagrant and unfair maaner, jury acking being shamelessly resorted to. Yn Dublin the general belief is that Poole is innocent. Informer Lamie swore that Kenney's murder was in revenge for the seduction of a girl, and had nothing todo with Irish politics. The castle wanted to hang some one, and Poole has been selected as an example.

JacksoN, Mich,, November 21,—This morning four persons—Jacob D, Crouch, aged 74, & widowor; Henry White, aged 38, son-in-law of Crouch: Eunice White, aged 33, daughter of Crouch, all of Sum- mit township, Jackson county, and Moses Polley, aged 26, of Transfer, Mercer couity, Pennsylvania—were tound mur- dered in their beds, all having been shot through the head behind the ear. It is supposed that they were chloroformed firat, as no signs of a struggle appeared, each victim lying as if asleep, and the odor of chloroform was noticeable when discovered, although tracks around the house indicate that a guard was placed while the murder was rpotrated. Crouch wis a wealthy farmer living seven miles southwest of Jackson and owner of an extensive sheep ranch in Texas, It is rumored he had/just received about $560,- 000 from Texas in Enymont of sales made on the ranch, ankers here state that nomoneéy was déposited dy Crouch, and it is presumed the money was in Crouch's hadns. Polley was stopping at Crouch's, having just come from Texas with a large amount of money for the purpose of buyin%g blooded stock. The theory is that Polley was fellowed from Toxas by the murderer vrmurderars {er the purpose of robbery. Tue house was tho:oughly searched,and overything of value carried away. The young girl, an adopted daughter of White's and the negro, aged 18, were sleeping up stairs, They say that they heard no firing, although the negro says he heard a thumping noise about the middle of the night, and thought it was caused by the fierce wind which was blowing. Mrs. White was expected to become & mother in a week or ten days. The officers are very quiet, trying to get a clue to work upon. o The sheriff es that the shots were fired by one person and with one.revol- ver, a8 the number mm cartridges garding the use of chlo cians claim that none was used, but the théory of one person doing the butchery and the testimony of the neighbors first at the scene claim that the chloroform was suffocating. The young negro Balles was arrested and jailed to await the re- suft of the corner's inquest, which will be held to-morrow. Crouch was worth abont $2,000,000 in property in Jackson county and sheep ranches in Texas, near Fort Worth. He leaves two sons and one daughter. A pocket-book containing $106 and a certificate of deposit of $500 was found on the window sill of White's room. An empty cartridge box, 32 calibre, was found in the negro Balles’ room. RIPE FOR THE ROPE, CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., November 22, — Andy Taylor, the last living of the three Taylor brothers, who murdered two Sheriffs and captured a railroad train with 100 Passengers aboard, compelling the enginer to carry them 20 miles at a dangerous high speed, about a: year ago, will” be hanged to-morrow at 2 o'clock at London, Teun. To-day while being taken from Jnoxville to London he slipped a revolver out of the pockets of one of the guardsand though heavliy manackled managed to get the muzzle of the pistol within a few inches of the head of Sheriff Fonte, of London, but owing to the fact that Taylor thought the pistol was a self-cocker it was knocked down before he could raise the hammer of the pistol. He remarked, “If I had rot mistaken the pistol for a self-cocker you (Fonte) would have'got to hell sev- wral hours betore me.” Taylor is but twenty-one years old, but seems to have nofear of the gallows. The execution will be private. The crime was commit- ted by the two elder brothers and him- self to release the eldest brother, who was a prisoner, It was one of the most the state, ARRESTED FOR FRAUD.
