Just across the Nile the | former Rough Rider will be sure to go with | the greatest curlosity imaginable, to Ker- ri plains, where on the morning of Sep- | tember 2, 1898, occurred the bloodiest bat- |tle in the history of modern warfare. Here the British and Egyptian forces un- der Sirdar Kitchener met the followers of the ‘Mahdi under the Khalifa. Kitchener ihad about 22,000 men; there were 50, | dervishes, the finest fighting natives of | Africa. In. a battle which lasted hardly four hours the machine guns and Lee- | Metfords killed 13,000 dervi-hes and wounded between 10,000 and 16,000. The British and Egyptian casualties were only forty-cight ! killed and 428 wounded. Thus was Chinese | Gordon avenged, the power of the Mahdl ! broken forever and the march of civiliza tlon from Calro to Cape Town relieved o its last serious native obstruction.

In that great multitude were gathered the flercest, most sanguinary body of iavage warriors the world has ever held or known. Arabs and blacks, chosen by Abdullah himself, picked out be- cause of their tried éourage, strength and devotion—the flower of the fighting Soudan tribes, “A great shout of exultation went up from the Dervish legions whon thev saw | ranged in the low ground before them the Sirdar's small army, their imagined prey. walving of banners and flashing of steel when, breaking into & run, they bent forward to close upon us. ‘The British division rose to thelr feet to be ready and the Khedival troops closed up their ranks. * * ¢ “Never was there a grander, more Im- posing militant display seen than when the great Dervish army rushed to engage, heedless of life or death. * * * The hour was 6:35 a. m. Almost at first shot the true range was found.

The leading columns paused as If they had re- celved a shock or had stopped to catch Hundreds had been sialn in that one discharge, and the fire was rapldly in- creasing, not slackening. Disregarding their dead and wounded, the Dervishes closed thelr ranks as with one accord and came on with fresh energy. Surely there was never wilder courage displayed. here ‘was marvelous vitality In the Dervish masses. Thousands were knocked over by the #creaming, bursting shells, entirely Soudanese, Arab and Abyssinlan, | with a scattering of Greek. The New Khartoum, The new Khartoum, oh the other hand, is the fairest city in central Africa. After the plans of Kitchener's engineers, it has been lald out along the lines of a collec- tion of union jacks. It is sald that Kitch- ener himself roughly drew.on the sand of | the Khartoum beach his idea for the re- bullding of Gordon's clty. | 1In the center of the town Is government | paldce, surrounded by a spacious gar- den with groves of stately pajms and other | fine trees. Along broad avenues shaded with palms are other government bufldings, | clubs, a mosque, & beautiful hotel, con- welates and residences. The site of Gor- | death on January 26, 18%—after that | marvelous siege of 321 days—is marked by | a noble statue showing the hero of the | Souderi mounted on a camel, | And near by Is @ great rectangular | shaped stone structure, Gordon Memorial college, founded by Kitchener, Here the youth of the Soudan are given instruction in many branches of learning. Especial | emphasis is placed on technical courses, and in these the Soudanese have shown | thomselves wohderfvily quick to learn. Khartoum 1s today the great connecting Mok between Egypt on the north and the {great still unsettied wild country to the ! south. Southwari beyond Khartoum there 8 nothing until you get to the outpost which Colonel Roosevelt recently reached, Gondokoro, a former, slave depot. Go be- | yond that and you are in the recesses of the jungle, in Uganda, and therein you must travel a long time before you come | to any save savage habitations. The rall- | rond, after it leaves Khartoum, bends to the eastward, passing just north of the Uganda border and emerging at Nairobi, thence continuing to the coas Since those memorable davs when | Kitchener marched from the Atbara to | Khartoum the development of the Egypt- [ian Sudan has been steady. The number |rof settlements has been markedly in- joreased, the great Sudanese tribes have taken to farming and quiet pursuits, the banks of the lower Nile are being utilized more and more for agriculture, the Abys- sinlans are qulet, thanks to numerous [ British posts and the lesson of Kerrerl plains, and, clvilization is slowly byt surely —even surprisingly—bringing peace and in- dustry to one of the last and bloodlest frontiers of the world. A dozen years ago such a journoy as which made hills and plain ring with thun- derous uproar. Never was a column of men 0 hammered and mutilated and prob- ably so surprised. They were torn and thrown about as puppets befors the hur- ricane of shell fire and lain in windrows like cut grain before the hail of the Lee- Metfords. Twelve -hundred short yards away Sprgham's bare slopes were being lterally lcovered with corpses and writhing wounded. “In sheer blundering brutishnass the fe. roclous dervishes tried to stem the storm. Wave followed wave of men. They surged together, inviting ‘greater disaster, but al- was striving to get nearer us. Their front had covered the whole slopes of Jebel Surg- ham, and their left overlapped part of the Khalifa’s right. | Death was reaping a glgantic harvest. Hecatombs of slain were belng spread everywhere in front. The fight was terrible, the slaughted dreadful. Crueial Stage of Actien. THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 6, 1910. NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS Wavering in Price Movement Reflects Lack of Conviction. STRIKE CAUSES APPREHENSION Change of Sentiment in Regard to Effect of Tobacco Deels Caunes Advance in that Tnnue. \ NEW YORK, March 6.—~The wavering price movement iIn today’'s stock market reflected the lack of conviction over the speculative outlook. The news from Phila- delphia was partly responsible for this The extent of the response to the call for a general strike there, In itself, threat- ened an amount of disturbance of profit- able activities sufficlent to command the attention of those interested in company it was a notable absence of the at- tempts which were made at the end of last week to arouse apprehension over a possible decision to be handed down on that day by the supreme court in the American Tobacco case. The rise in Ameri- can Tobacco shares In the outside market this week has impressed speculative senti- ment on this subject more than the more direct contemplation of the government sult against the company. The move- ment in the tobacco shares, in fact, was made an important consideration in the port of the general stock market. he support accorded ‘stocks assoclated with the name of J. P. Morgan & Co., stood out rather prominently in the rise at the end of the session. The large par- ticipation of that firm in the bond fssues, which are coming upon the market is a feature of the situation. The markst did not have to digest the bank statement, since it was not published until after the close. The loss of $10,607,600 In the actyal cash holdings of the banks, compared with preliminary estimates of a gain of several millions. As Joans expanded at the same time the effect on the surplus was intensified, bringing the decreass in that item up to $3,370,875. Discounts con- tinued to rise in London and New York bankers are still discussing the likelthood of an outflow of gold from New York. Bonds were irregular. Total sales par value $1612,00.

Still the cruclal stage of the first action was not over. * * * So far it had been a gunner's day, and to the artillery in the preliminary stages if not— with one exception—in the la¥er, belonged the full honors of the fight. At length, with one mind, banner bearers and all of the dervish columns remalining Intact faced to the left and moved behind the western hills, ¢ « “‘Out of immediate danger and reformed, the Khalifa and Yacoub determined on second attack. With a rush like & moun- tain torrent, three columns spouted from shallow ravines and at a break-neck run came forward. Part of Wad-Melik's men uprose from the west sides of Surgham, the Khalifa and Yacoub came upon us from the southwest, and a smaller body from the west. “In hajf-delirlum and full frenzy, on rushed the dervishes. Our guns, knowing the range to a nicety—for they were able to see landmarks put down the day before— hurled at them avalanches of shell. The vivid air biazed and shook, and the hail of Lee-Metfords cut llke mighty scythes lanes In the columns massed ten deep. “Greater resolution and bravery no men ever possessed. In face of destruction and death, they continued their wild race. But they were thinning or being thinned as Colonel Roosevelt is just completing would have been entirely out of the question. | From Suakim on the Red sea to (lallabat | on the Abyssinian frontieer, far southwest | to El Fasher, relgned unbeaten the hordes | of the Mahd), several hundred thousand strong. They had slain Gordon and his garrison and in a great serles of battles beaten the Abyssinians. K Conquest of the Sudan, | *Tn the summer of 186" as Wll;lwn gmfll has written In “The River War," “when all the troops had retreated to f ‘ady Halfa and all the Sudan garrisons had boen massacred, the Hritlsh people averted their eyes In shame and vexation from, the valley of the Nile. A long suc- oession of disasters had reached thelr s graceful culmination.” It was not untll 186 that the English finally got under way to effect the recon- Quest of the Sudan. ‘‘Before," according to Mr. Bennett Burlelgh, author of the um Campalgn,” “there had been, as Mr. Gladstone after all appropriately termed them, ‘milltary operations,” but not & state of war.” In the spring of 1392 Gen- eral Kitohener became the sirdar or eom- ammnder-in-chief of the khedival forces. Six years later he had sufficlently reorganized the Reyptian army. to begin the long de-, Jayed southern wdvance into the Sudan. The principal engugements which oc- «uwrred In 1897 were those at Abu Hamed mnd Berber, the last campalgn running into the early part of 188. On each oc- |«msion the dervishes proved no match for {the well equipped British forces. They }were routed with much slaughter. The |Prinalpal battle which precedsd Omdurman ‘was Atbara. Here on April 8, Mahmud, jone of the khalifa's chief lleutenants, with 32,00 men, attacked the British forces and | was signally defated. Mahmud was cap- tured and his army was practically wiped out. Over 3,00 were killed on the field «of battle; scarcely 4,000 escaped. From that day the British army was all eagerness to 'wet to Khartoum. It was @ month's march from Atbara to Omdurman across the desert, following closely the line of the Nile. Nearly 25,000 strong, the British and Egyptian forces left the scene of their spring victory, and, despite many privations, arrived, only o few hundred less, in good condition on the | Plaing of Kerrerl The dervishes pald them dittle attention enroute. The Khalifa had they drew nearer. When about 1,100 yards away, & body of horsemen, 200 or %o, the Khalifa’s own horseme tribesmen, Taaisha Baggara, chiefs and emirs, setting spurs to thelr horses, charged direct for the wereba. “Cannons and Maxims smashed them through, infantry bullets beat against and plerced through them. At every stride thelr numbers diminshed, horses and riders being literally blown over or cut and thrown down. Undaunted, & remnant held on to within 200 or 300 yards of Colonel Maxwell's line, where the last of the gallant foemen tumbled and bit the Gust. * * * “Then it was that the remnant of the army of the Khalifa began to melt away. It was more than human nature could bear. The dense columns had shrunk to companles, the companies to driblets, which finally fled westward to the hills, leaving the flelds white with jibbeh-clad corpses, like a landscape dotted with snow drifts."” The Finish, After this there was unc last avalanche of the dervishes on the impregnable British square, a particularly desperate at- tempt to overwhelm Colonel Hector Mac- Donald’s brigade. They wero agaln re pulsed with frightful siaughter. In com- plete disorder then they retreated to Om- durman pursued by the eager British and Egyptians, Kitchener himself at the head of his forces. The Khalifa's stronghold was taken without serious opposition, but the Khalifa himself managed to escape. Subsequently at Omdsbraikat he was killed by & force under the presen. sirdar, Sir Reginald Wingate. One of the first acts of the conquerors was to exhume the body of the Mahdi and raze his tomb. On the morrow of the day after the battle the officers crossed the river and marched solemnly to the rulns of the late govérnor general's palace. In the square fronting the steps where the dervishes slew him on January 26, 1885, Chinese Gordon was at last given & Chels- tian burial. “Thus with Maxim Nordenfeldt and Bible,” as George Warrenton Steevens has written, ““we burled Gordon after the man- mer of his race. The long delayed duty was done. We left Gordon alone again— but alone In majesty under the conquering design of his own people.”—Boston Herald. DEATH RECORD.

Corn and oats followed the course of wheat and closed weak at declines of Jc to %c and ¥c to Yo, re. spectively. Provisions also closed heavy at net losses of bc to Thec. The slump In wheat occurred during the final hour of trading and was caused hy general selling brought ‘out by favorable weather conditions now prevailing in the new crop In the southwest. Several prom nent interests were liboral sellers and thi caused free sales by pit traders and small holders. 1In addition to being depressed by the bright outiook for the winter erop the market was also bearishly affected by ' ’| weak cables and extremely slack des for cash grain, Cash premiums here reported the weakest in several months. During the first half of the day the market displayed considerable firmness, owing to covering by shorts, who bought freely -of the July delivery. 'When this demand was ratisfled, however, prices were easily forced down, owing to thé absence of any material support. From $.13%,, May_sold off to $1.12, while July dropped from $106% @1.06% to $1.03%. The close was only a trifle above the lowest point, final figures on May being at 3L12%, July closed at $1.00%@31.03%. Lively ‘demand by shorts early in the session resulted In a stiff advance in the price of all deliveries of corn, but the late real in wheat knocked the props from under the market and declines ranging from %c to lo followed. Cash prices remained about steady, although some cars sold about Yo higher, No. 8 yellow selling at 60%c. During the day the May delivery sold between 63c and 64c. The market closed weak at almost the bottom, May being %c lower at ) Oats displayed moderate firmness early In the day, but wealkened late In the sesaion in -ym&.d.y with the break in wheat and corn. May ran, between 46c and %@ 46%c. The market closed near the lowest point, with May %o down at 4Sc. Provisions were weak nearly all day. A fe advance in the price of live hogs, and light receipts at all packing centers were apparently {gnored. Final quotations on the May products were: Pork, $24.80; lard, $13.82%: "ribs, $12.77%.
