With the rout of Arabi's army the war
in Egypt is supposed to be practically
ended, though that may prove to be very
far from the fact. If the Egyptian heart
isln the struggle it will be impossible
for tbeEnglish army" to conquer perma
nently their country. But even though
they succeed in taking possession of it,
their triumph over its people will cer
tainly have a very ugly effect upon the
immediate future of the country. It
will embitter the people and intensify
their hatred of foreigners, and this feel
ing will not be lessened or mol
liOed by tho continued presence of
an English army, and without sup
port from some outside source
the khedivejs authority for some time
to come will be little" more than nominal.
Without doubt Arabi's revolt reflected
the national spirit, so far as there is a
national sentiment existing among peo
ple of as low a grade as the present in
habitants of the once great land of the
Pharaohs. They are scarcely equal to
organized resistance, yet a strong mill
taryarm will be needed in Egypt for
the immediate future at least. Of course
Turkey oughtlo take the country off the
hands of the conqueror and sustain the
ruler who is tributaryto it, but the sul
tan may prove as contrary-minded
in this matter as he has been at
every stage of the troubles. His
attitude towards England has been that
of inexplicable sulkiness. He would not
suppress Arabi nor consent that any
body else should do so. Matters cannot
long continue in this slate without in
volving the other powers, which are
already jealously watching England and
viewing with suspicion and distrust
every movement of the Gladstone gov
ernment. There have been indications
that the war was unnecessarily forced
for the purpose of making a pretext for
military seizure of the 'Suez canal. It
will soon be revealed whether this fear
is well founded, and if it is there will
surely be trouble. This great highway
to the East cannot become the virtual
property of any single power without
causing complications of a serious char
acter. As the matter stands England is
rejoicing over the capture of a white
elephant and may presently find herself
involved in a jealous quarrel with all
Europe over the guardianship of the
great inside highway to India.
1 The international rifle match began
at Creedmoor yesterday, and Hie result
of the first day's contest will bo & tjfje
nature of a surprise. tn.5 tM many peo-Ptewjie-fsj;,,esied
that our British
Cousins would have au overwhelming
victory. To be only nineteen points be
hind in a total of something over a
thousand is far from fatal to the Ameri
can team, and, though a stern chase is a
long one, there is an immense amount of
stimulus, to mon of proper stuff, in the
feeling that they have something to
overcome. Our marksmen are repre
sented as contending against the disad
vantage of being obliged to use a " sight "
with which they are unfamiliar, and
cansidering their lack of practice with
the novel appliance that has been intro
duced in the present contest, they arc
not without cause for congratulating
themselves upon tho excellent score that
they have made. We do not make much
account of the additional point that is
urged to show why the Britons
should have come -out ahead, which
is that there wasa high wind to help the
visitors along; the natural supposition
would be that this circumstance would
operate substantially the same on both
sides. If it is true that the American
team is deficient in men who have had
experience in long rauge shooting there
is a likelihood that the strangers may
maintain the very slight lead they gained
at the outset of the contest ; while on
the other hand the American faculty for
doing good work unuVr unpromising cir
cumstances is worth u sting in this affair
as in all others, and it justifies a hope
for a better showing to-night than that
which is published this morning.
Mr. Thomas M. Marshall denies
that he used the expression " Don Cam
eron's marionette " in speaking of Gen
lieaver to a nice-looking young man
who went straight off and printed every
thing he said in a New York paper. He,
however, admits the substantial accu
racy of the interview as published. We
observe that the Stalwart candidate fo -congressman-at-largc,
in his speechmaK
ing in the western part of the stale, is
industriously working the " Cameron
tariff racket," by which it is hoped to
divert the people from the real issue of
the present campaign. It is not, there
fore, improbable that the nice-looking
young man simply got his tricks a littlo
mixed when he reported Mr. Marshall
to have said Beaver was Don's " ma
rionette," and that the old gentleman
was alluding to the tail of the ticket in
stead of the head when he used the term.
The similarity in the sound of the words
"marionette" and "Marriott' ' lends coloj
to this very natural presumption, and
anyone who reads the accounts of Mr.
Brosius' recent speechas will be con
firmed in the opinion that the reporter
fell into error in applying the expression
to Beaver instead of to Brosius, as Mar
shall obviously intended it for t he latter.
Cameron pulls the tariff string, and the
marionette piomptly obeys the signal
jest as he did at Kiltauning hist night
for the amusement of his audience.
Cameron's man for state senator in
the 42d (Allegheny) district apparently
escaped the Independent flood at the re
cent primaries, but the Independent Re
publicans openly declared that though
McNeil bad received the regular nomi
nation he shall never go back to Harris
burg to vote for Don Cameron's return
to the Senate. And they are strong
enough in the district to' carry out this
purpose,, without regard to what the
Democrats may do. In the 44th (Pitts
burgh) district, Major Aull, the regular
nominee, has always been a pronounced
anti-Cameron man, and his nomination
is said to be entirely satisfactory to the
Independent!. This was the only one of
the twelve Republican districts where
Cameron bad a fighting chance, and he
seems to have lost that, 5
Our Stalwart friends no doubt anti
cipate pleasure and profit from trie ap
proaching visit of the Independent lead
ers, Stewart, Wolfe, McMichael, Mer
rick and Koontz, who are announced to
pay their respects to Mr. Cameron and
Mr. Cameron's candidates, at Fulton
opera house in this city on the 28th inst.
The Democrats throughout the state
are generally manifesting a wise deter
mination to put their best, foot foremost
in local and legislative nominations, and
this is as it should be. Let us have
square pegs for square holes from the
state ticket down.
The Independents now estimate their
strength in- Allegheny county at more
than half the full Kepublican vote. This,
too, in the county that Lincoln used to
call " the state of Allegheny," on ac
count of its great Republican majorities.
And-the fight has only fairly begun.
Doiisey and Brady know too much
to be sent to the penitentiary. There
are Africans in this Star Route wood
pile that the public don't see and will
never know anything about.
The British shoot almost as well at
Creedmoor as they do in Egypt.
New postoffices have been established at
the rate of fifty a week for tho past month.
If it keeps on, Hubbell will have to hire
another mailing clork.
There is more than a million of money
lying unclaimed iu the money order di
vision of tho postoffice department. The
natural inference is that llubbcll don't
know anything about it.
Wn always hear a great deal of talk
about " Republican institutions." So
far as we can judge, there is only one
institution at Washington that would bo
Republican if things should revert to
their alleged eternal condition of fitness,
aud that is the jail.
Sneekixg people who may rise to in
quire " Who is John Smith ? are re
ferred to tho scoro in tho international
riflo match at Creedmoor yesterday,
where they will find out that as far as
heard from he's tho best marksman in the
country.
GoouKAitis the name of one of tho
Britons who is now popping away at Creed
moor. Because his score happens to stand
at
to:
sters oi a acpravea press to begin sug
gesting that the unsuccessful marksman
change his name to Dcadryo.
Tue Press has heard tho following
through its telephone :
" To Chairman Cooper :
44Why not go up to Horticultural hall
to-night and road tho Riot Act to 'em ?
" lours, for our side,
"J. D.C.
44 P. S. Tho Riot act, mind, not the
Riot bill."
44 Tom" Young has been defeated for a
renominatiou in ono o tho Cincinnati dis
tricts, but Blackguard Buttcrworth has
proved that ho knew the tastes of his con'
stitucnts when he made his unprintable
speech in Congress. The Paris of America
seems resolved to imitate the French cap
ital in at least its objectionablo features
and to become as renowned for porno
graphy as it was for pork.
Tuu Democratic policy of conducting
tho present campaign in this stato is so
unassailable that Stalwart organs of tho
Philadelphia Evening 2feies variety aro ro
duced to tho strait oi rJking tho Irish to
cut tho Democratic U.ikc.t. because John
Kelly, aa Irishman, is -iu a fair way of
being crushed by the New York Democ
racy. This bait will not attract even the
simplest gudgeons.
Boston' is said to bo the highest taxed
city in tho world. It spends more on the
education of its children alone than is
raised for all purposes by Birmingham,
England, though tho latter is tho larger
city. There is no such city as Boston.
It has 303,000 females to' 100,000 males,
yet so thrifty are her spinsters that whilo
14,000 people own the $127,000,000 of gov
erument bonds owned in New York, $10,
009,000 held iu Massachusetts aro divided
among 10,000 holders.
Pi,ay comes natural to puppies, kittens,
children aud all young things yes, if they
lead natural lives. But shut your kitten,
for a week, up in a box, without much
light or air, or even a cotton reel to roll
about, and see how much ic will play
when at last set free. Play is the volun
tary exercise of all our faculties under a
sense of freedom ; whero wo exercise our
selves becauso we like, and not because wc
must, that power is developed by exercise
anu cxcrciso only, it is, in lact, a
branch of education that is very much
neglected. There is a vast fund of " frozen
fact " in these observations of a London
n2W.spap;r.
The condition" of tho clerks aud scrub
women upon whom Hubbell comes down
for 2 per cent, and Mahone or Cooper for
4 or 5 per cent, more, with a third com
mittco to hear from, aud this only an
44 off-year," will remind tho student of
Oriental history of tiro state of things in
Egypt after its conquest by tho Mahome
tans. To the caliph's general went the
inhabitants of a certain city, bearing a
very liberal contribution which they bo
sought him to accept. The general po
litely declined the gift, but the satisfaction
of tho delegates was somewhat chilled
when ho explained that he regarded them
in tho light of his treasury. He did not
need auy money then, but he might on
the morrow, or in a week, or in a year,
and the amount that he might need was
uuknown to him. It might be a thousand
piasters or it might be a million, but that
was not a matter about which they were
to bother themselves. Whenever tho
caliph wanted the money he would take
it, for, as he had already explained, " ye
arc our treasury." So it is with Hubbell
and Mahouo. They may only need 2 per
cent., or they may have use for twenty, but
whatever the amount and whenever the
need may arise, " ye may rest beneath tho
shadow of the caliph -ye aro his treasury."

THE BRITISH 1UH.K TAM AHEAD.
Kesalt ot tho first Day' Match Tho
Weather Somewhat Uafavoraule to
ll'o American Marksmen.
The day opened bright and windy over
the Creedmoor range Thursday morning.
It bid fair to be a good day for the Amer
icans, who prayed for Mich weather to
help them beat the British and thus make
up for the lack of skill which the practice
shooting had made painfully evident. But
pretty Boon clouds drifted over the sky
and the weather looked better for
England and American hearts sank.
So did the hearts of tho caterers,
who had made preparations to feed
10,000 persons and who saw the trains ar
riving with very few passengers. Either
tho clouds or the lack of interest in the
match or the foregone conclusion that the
Americans were beaten, or all threo of
these conditions, prevailed and accounted
for the light attendance at the beginning
of tho day. The match was not to begin
until 1 o'clock and during the morning
the 1,000 yard range match for the Wim
bledon .cup was contested and the gentle
men who were to coach the American
team took part in it iu order to learn tho
condition of the light and wind. No one
paid attention to this match, waiting for
the bigger game of the afternoon.
At 10 o'clock Colonel Bodino and Sir
Henry Halford tossed for choico of targets
and tho American won and ho selected
targets G and 7 at the 200 yards range, oast
of targets 3 and 4, which the British were
to use.
Tho opening shot came from tho Ameri
cans. Hinds fired it and an instant later
a cheer rolled up from the spectators as
the whito disc came up and showed a
bull's eye. Then camo a crack from the
English side as Parry fired, but no bull's
eye was scored only a 4. Thus the inter
national military match was opened.
Tho shooting at this range went on sys
tematically and without many incidents.
Tho greatest caro was taken to get correct
results of each shot, the markers more
than once displaying the red flag that the
firing might stop while they examined
the target. Of the British, Goodear and
Parry fired very slowly, bus when they
wero half through Heap and Boulter had
finished their scores. McVittio shot very
rapidly and seemed little troubled by tho
wind. That the wind did trouble most of
tho men is seen in the few really good
scores of the British, McVittie, Heap and
Dods making each 31, tho best out of a
possible 33. The total score was 340. tho
smallest score tho British have made
since they arrived hero. Tho Amcricaus
shot with caro and deliberation, fighting
wind. As McNiven was aiming for his
third shot a gust of wind struck him. He
lowered tho gun, and in so doing pulled
tho trigger. The bullet Hew wide of tho
target and the spectators groaned. Only
three good scores were made by the Amer
icans Howards 31, Smiths 30 and Hiu
mans 30. Tho total was 331. On two
practice days they mado 343 and 347. The
Americans took courago when thev fouud.
inge
with
a bull's eye. At this range tho shooting
was different. Tho men lay fiat on tho
ground, faciug tho targets, and the wind
couldn't trouble them. They braced their
elbows in the turf and thus formed good
rests for their guns A series of bull's
eyes followed, especially on the British
targets, as the scores show, and when the
teams ceased firing it was found that the
British had made the high total score of
378 and the Americans 3G9, th-3 first being
above their average practice shootiug, tho
latter being very good. Smith's score of
34, C bull's-eyes and a centre, was received
with cheers, as was McNoviu's 33. Mc
Vittie, of tho British, did as well as Smith.
So did Hear and Caldwell, and Parry did
as well as McNevin. At tho close of this
stago tho Americans found themsolves IS
points behind. The English had gained
9 points nioro and it looked bad for the
Americans.
Then camo the last stago of tho day, the
600-yards range. As the ranges length
ened tho shooting on the American side
became better, and Dolauand Smith made
34 each and McMevin and Pollard 33. No
Englishman equalled their scores, but they
shot better as a team. Each team made
a miss. When the scores whero looted
up tho British were 314 paints to tho
Americans' 343. The English had added
one to their lead of 18 and wero 19 points
ahead on the day's shooting. They had
beaten tho Americans at tho ranges at
which the latter wero supposed to excel.
To-day tho 800, 900 and 1,01)0 yard ranges
are to be shot over.
TUK JKANNKTTE UEKOES.
Tiielr Great Ovation In New York City
It was scarcely daybreak when Chief
Engineer Melville aud his companions,
Noros and Nindermanu, left their apart
ments in the Hoffman bouse aud took a
stroll down Broadway. Tbo streets were
very quiet, almost deserted, and they had
full leisure to see tho great improvements
that bad takou place during their absence.
They were highly delighted with all they
saw, and did not return to tbo hotel
for breakfast until nearly niue o'clock.
Upon leaving the breakfast room at a quar
ter to tcu tho three heroes found them
selves besieged by au army of friends aud
admirers,not the smaller fraction of whom
belonged to the gentler sex. At one mo
ment tho lobby of tho hotel was literally
crowded with fashionably-attired ladies of
all ages, who had come to pay their res
pects to tho survivors, and the cards scut
up iu the course of tho morning to their
rooms must bavo filled a good sized waste
basket. To satisfy everybody the engineer
finally held au informal reception iu one
oi tho parlors of the hotel. His appear
ance and that of his friends were highly
satisfactory. Thoy wero the very
picture of health, no traces of the hard
ships they had undergone being visible.
To a reporter who seized au opportuuity
during a lull iu tho congratulations aud
handshakings with which tho trio were
being bombarded to interview him, Mr.
Melville said : " I never felt happier than
this morning when f strolled around the
city and saw the mauy places so familiar
to me. You may not know, perhaps, that
I am a New Yorker of Now Yorkers. I
was born aud bred in tho Ninth ward, aud
hare almost all ray friends, relatives and
acquaintances there."
Melville spoke highly of his treatment
by tho Russian authorities, sajiug, among
othei things, that even the lower officials
distinguished themselves by their courtesy
and refinement. Tho feeling for Americans
among the Russian lower classes seemed
to be very warm, and far different to that
entertained towards tho English. Mel
ville and his companions had brought over
many little presents and mementoes re
ceived from their Russian admirers. In
regard to tho causes which led to tho
disaster to the Jeannetto Mr. Melville
would say nothing. " All I have to make
known on this subject," he explained, 4'I
reserve for the committee of investigation
which I understand is shortly to be ap
pointed. To thorn I will open my soul
and tell all I know. To touch upon tho
subject iu any manner at present would
be unseemly, if not actually indecorous."
Ninderman said to J. C. Morrison, of
No. 8G South street, who shipped him on
the Jeannetto, that the only way he can ac
count for tho fact that when the body of
Captain Do Long was found his feet wero
covered with cauvas cloth, is that tho
boots of the party had all been eateu. Tho
sleeping bags were also frozen aud as to
fnr clothing they had none. Mr. Morrison
says that he is astonished that there was
no fur clothing, as Do Long told him that I
-.1 . tiii . t -
tho Alaska fur company, of San Francisco,
had presented him with a considerable lot
of for clothing, aad the supplies of furs
which were gathered by Captain Howgate
of the signal service, in an expedition
made for the purpose by the schooner
Florence, from New London, were 'also
given to De Long. .
Engineer Melville received a grand ova
tion at the city hall. In the afternoon the
common council having tendered him the
hospitality of the city and tho uso of the
goveronor's room for a public reception,
the national and municipal flags were dis
played on the building in his honor. When
Engineer Melville and Mr. Noros, one of
his companions, were driven up to tho city
hall they were loudly cheered and wero
received in the governor's room by Alder
man Brady, McCIave and Roosevelt, of
the aldermanic committee. A moment
later Melville espied an old friend, Chief
Engineer Danby, U. S. N., and rushing
up to him both remained a few seconds
clased in each other's arms, Melville kiss
ing his old friend again and again on the
cheek. Between fifteen hundred and two
thousand citizens paid their respects to
Mr. Melville, who shook hands warmly
with each visitor. After the levee Mel
ville returned to his hotel.
In the evening Engineer Melville aud
his companions were given a dinner at
Delmonico's. A number of prominent
people wero present. Tbo menu was an
exceedingly elegant one.
Chief Eugineer Melville, of the ill-fated
Jeannetto Arctic expedition, after more
than three years' absence, is expected to
arrive in Philadelphia this evening and

The three days' festival of the Mystic

innumerable throng of citizens. All along
the route, a distance of four miles, hun

receiving from Brama the poet's inspira
tion. Fourteen other floats followed,
illustrating the poom. Oue of these tab
leaux, representing tho coronation of tbo
royal apo Sugriva, was cue of the most
gorgeous pictures of tho pageant ; but all
tho tableaux wero of au extremely gor

John Taylor two years ago killed Uapt.
Fletcher on the Tennessee. Ho escaped,
but was finally captured and brought to
Chattanooga. He had several trials, and
at the last term of court was sentenced to
ten years' hard labor in the penitentiary.
Ho appealed to the supreme court, which
is in session at Knoxville, and the case
was to como up Thursday at noon. Sheriff
Cate and Deputy Conway took tho East
Tennessee train with Taylor, who was
haudculTed. Several men boarded the
train at Sweetwater or Philadelphia,
about seventy-live miles from Chattanooga
and while the train was between there and
Loudou deliberately bhot Cate and Con
way dead and wounded another man.
They then released the prisoner and took
charge of tho train, running it through
Loudon, and at Lenoir's .station John Tay
lor aud his brothers, ISob and Andy, got
off, aud foicibly taking tomc horses left
for the mountains. John Taylor was
wounded iu the arm.
Chattanooga is in intense excitement.
A posso of thirty men with Springfield
rifles leit on a special train on tho Cincin
nati Southern for Kingston. Another
posso will leave overland. A posse has
already left Kingston and another from
Loudou. Cato was sheriff two weeks.
He was one of the most popular men in
tho city, was about fifty years old and
leaves a large family. Conway was about
thirty and was prominent in local politics.
Such excitement has not been -seen in
Chattanooga since the war. Tho shooting
took place about 4 o'clock.
Fivo thousand dollars reward is offered
for the arrest of the Taylors. Tho sum
will bo increased. A company of colored
militia have left for Kingston. One of

Iluvoc That a Stick of Timber Mado Iu t
Passing Train.
A serious accident occurred on tho main
line of tho Philadelphia & Reading rail
road, below Mr. Carbon, Thursday. While
freight train No. 51 was coming along at
a comparatively slow rate of speed a
heavy piece of mining timber became dis
lodged, sending it whizzing through the
smoking car of No. 4 express, which left
Pottsvillc at 4:30 and which was at that
moment passing. The crash created con
siderable consternation among tbo passen
gers, who wero for a time panic stricken.
Four seats wero demolished. William
Snyder, of Philadelphia, was wedged in
between a seat and tho frame of the car,
necessitating the cutting away tho timber
before be could bo removed. His jaw
was fractured and ho also sustained iutor
ual injuries. He was brought to Reading
in an unconscious condition. It is thought
that he will die. Patrick Phillips, of Mt.
Carbon, was badly hurt about tho legs
and it is probable that amputation will be
necessary. Wallace Yocum had his hip
fractured and a man named Smith was
also hurt. The wrecked car was left at
Schuylkill Haven.
A yeung lad named Joseph Watson was
run over by a street car in Altoona, one
leg being cut off and the other broken in
two p'aces. He will die. Tho lad was
stealing a ride and fell off, the car follow
ing doing tho injury.
A serious railroad collision occurred
i:.-a? Shickshiany, on tho Lackawanna and
Bloomsburg toad. A freight train was
moving north and a pay car was coming
in the opposite direction, when both en
gines met with a terrific force. The engi
neer and the fireman of the freight train
escaped with their lives by jumping, but
tbose in the pay car were less fortunate.
Charles Dale, the engineer, had his foot
badly crushed. Charles Miller, brako
man, was seriously injured internally, and
the track master had his collar bone
broken. Both engines are completely
wrecked.

MAUONE-S ALLEGED 1IBIMKKY.
The Strong cnarses Made by a Colored ur
ator In Dczendorf's DUtrlct.
Considerable flutter was caused iu coa
lition political circles in Virginia by the
publication of a letter by Col. J. W. Woltz
a Republican, in which it is alleged that
the Mahoneites in Congressman Dezen
dorf 's district have recently ondcavored
to bribe W. B. Laws, a colored
man, who has been making a bold
and vigoious canvass in that district
against Mahone's party. In a letter dated
Washington, September 6, Laws says that
Mahone managers at Norfolk made an
agreement to pay him 8500 to retire from
the canvass and not offer auy opposition
to their candidate for Congress in that
district. Laws alleges that $200 of this
amount was paid him, $100 in cash and
a check for $100 on tho Home savings
bank, of Norfolk. This chock was cash
ed by tho Washington bank, of Wash
ington. The other $300 was to be paid
before tho election. Woltz, in his letter,
says ho advjsed Laws to accept this money
in order to entrap tho bribers. He followed
the advice aud took the money. The check
given him and tho correspondence between
Laws and Judge Brook, of Norfolk, ono of
the coalition leaders, is referred to as evi
dence of the payment of the money. It is
also alleged by Woltz and Laws that
Peter J. Carter, a prominent colored Ma
honeito in Dezendorf s district, declared
to them that it was Mahone's intention
to elect his candidate in that district,
and if they cannot succeed in
any other way that will couut their man
in. The coalition have control of nearly
all of tho election machinery in tbo coun
ties and cities composing Dezendorf s
district, and it is in their power to carry
out tho threat attributed to them by these
men. Laws, who entrapped the coalitionists
by accepting their alleged bribes, is an in
telligent colored man, who has made him
self exceedingly troublesome toMahono by
his vigorous denunciations of tho senator
on the stump in the Norfolk and other
districts in tho state. Woltz is tho clerk
removed from a government posftion in
Washington by Mahone because of his ap
position to a candidate selected by Mahone
in the First district.
