WAR IN EGYPT. WILD ROUT OP THE DERVISHES. ALMOST ANXIIIILlTr.D IN A HAITI.! WITH ORH- Wad el-Juml, the dervish Irader, and !, 600 of his follower were killed In an engage ment with General (iri'nMl and his h'.irypt inn allies nt Tokl, Saturday. Thn battle tNk place at 5 o'clock In the morning, General (jronfcll successfully drawing Wud-cl-Juml's forces to a point near Toski, w here he had his triow concentrate I, when n general en gagement was at once begun. The U rvifli- fought with great fury, throwing them solve Uon the advancing Egypluin fro iiently mid refusing qunrter. The forced tinder General (iretifcll acted admirably, nnd completely routed the dervishes after seven hour' hard fighting. The number of raninltle suffered hy the British and Egyptian is mirriMi nly small. The total loss i 17 killed ami l.'ll wounded A thousand dervish prisoners were captur ed. TheofnclalreportofGener.il n ren fell, of the battle near Tokl, ha been received. Ac Cording to this rcjtort tho dervishes wore themselves out by desperate and repeated charges. The brunt of t lie nssault w as borne by the infantry line of the Twentieth Hus sars, hut the Egyptian cavalry and thoEgy t inn horse artillery rendered excellent ser vice. The rcjxirt places the number of light ing men brought into thn engagement by Wad el Jumi at 3,ooo. The British troop will return to Cairo at once, there being no further need of thoir service on tho threat ened frontier. For yean tho fighting tr 'lie on the Upl"'' Nile have been in a state of hostility toward Egypt, nnd nine Great I'.ritain "has had troop in t ecountrv their quarrel has also lieen with the English. These people are now called dervishes, that is, fanatical Mus ecliucn warriors. Tho impulse that ha lriven them on is partly phys cai, partly religion. During Gordon's time they 'were bs by the Mahdi. The Match, whose followers killed lieneral Gor lon at K hartoum, is euposed to bn ile.id, hut the Khalifa Abdullah, though his rule is not accepted so implicitly, ha I enough etrcngth and religious fanaticism to ciii Wad-ol-N jumi and send him to invade Egypt with thousands of his followers. These men have nn absolute, unreasoning, ineradicable faith in their mis (ion, which is to coii'iocr the world. In this task they know tiiey must either kill or be killed. The dervisho are the true, successor of those companion of thp pro jdiet and hi successors for three or four generation who swept over the north of Africa and Asin with irresistible force. Then they curried all before them, but now civili sation has found mean, chielly in the shape ttt breechloaders, to check and destroy them. A to the strength of the dervishes the ue fount are conflicting:. The seerctarv of X jutnl's chief Kmir, upon Jul v 2.'. declared that they numbered II, on, of whom .',no0 were lighting men; the rest were slavi-s or camp followers. As many of these ilisai penred later, it wa estimated toward the close of July that thn lighting foro of tho enemy numberei between 3,uo and 4.00J. THE STIMULUS OF GOOD CROrS. TRAPS Mm.IITF.KS CP ALL OVKlt TUB COUNTRY. Tho country begins to feel the stimulus of good crops. New spring wheat began to ar rive nt Chicago on August 1, 111 days curlier than bust year. The St. Louis corn corner has no u fleet, an abuiidancy is expected and business in all departments is gaining. In the iron regions a distinct increase in demand is fait, mid order for another 50) new locomotives havo ben placed during the week. Tiie certainty of largo trallic uIho has its i-IIcct upon ruilroud negotiations, which have m ido progress toward peaco. Thu fue l that, under such favoring circum stances, the stock market had ginned dur ing the week only lo cents on tlno on un average of prices, may bo attributed to monetary uncertainties, and to the great volume of Kccurtic awaiting buyers, for the ill success of the inter-State agreement, and the recent legislation in western States have inclined many holder to sell, while projects for .'iOtij miles of new railroad, and lorn vust number of industrial trusts, have caused an in. usual body of new stocks uud bonds to be ulliTisl, of w hich but a small part ha yet been placed. lreasury operations haveonly added tl'tO,.

The Volume of trade continue to exceed last year's, ul New Yolk 12 per cent, and outside 12 1-'.' percent, according to clearings through banks, Exports for July from New York npoar 1 1 1-2 per cent, larger than last year, with imports 5 1-2 per cent, larger, l'ork products have all declined a little. Sulci of wheat reach H.noo.ooo bushels for the week, of corn 7,uo0,ooo, and of cot toil l'.'l.oou bale. Hut coll'ee is three-quarters Wronger, with sale .f3.ii,tM bags. In oil only .'J,7ou,nou barrel have been sold, and the price is about 1 cent lower. Tho woolen industry still hesitate. If the dry goods market docs not soon improve a general yielding in wool would seem inevitable. On the other hand, more encouragement is felt in tho iron business, liar mm is stronger, plates more active at full prices, ami rails strong, though at present without considerable sales. The coal trade is still sluggish. The general movement of price in July was upward, averaging 1 per cent, for the mouth.

One of the boldest End most daring train robberies ever erpetrtted in M issoori occur red on the W.bash train, which left the Union depot, Kansas City, Mo., at t? 20 o'clock, p. m. The train which wa made Up of a smoker, two sleepers for Ft.

They ordered nil tho passenger to hold np their bands and enforced their order with a brace of Colt' revolver. One of them ap prouched each passenger and, w hile the other kept watch f the victims, took everything of value that could be conveniently found. There were only a few passenger in the car and the work of robbery was soon complet ed. A soon a all hud been relieved of their Valuable., amounting to (175 in cash and two gold watches, the robber backed out of the front door of the car, being careful to keep their shooting iron polntisl toward the lie pies travelers. They tepl on the platform nnd just as they were about to en ter tho Illinois Central coach, Conductor Koach came out of he door, being on hi tirt trip t hroiigh tho train to collect fares. One of the tohher pushed h s revolver under thecotiductor's nose, an I w ith an oath order ed him to throw up hi hands. I he con ductor supposed from the naturo of their disguisetli.it a number of railroad men who had taken p.isageon the train were playing a practical joke o;i him. With a laugh ho attempt to push past them and enter the sleeper. Just then a gust of wind swept aside the masks of the robbers ami then he knew the all.iir was one of dead earnest. He had no weapon, but hu carried hi lantern In hi hand, uud with that he dealt one of the men a vicious blow on the head, smashing the lantern's glass and ex tinguishing tho light. Simultaneously with his asault tho other robber fired a shot at him from his revolver. The aim was bad and the bullet missed its mark. The first r bber bad by this timo recovered himself nnd be too took a shot at the conductor. His aim was no more precise than his partner's. The robbers then, with one more parting hot, sw ung oil from tho stops of the car. The train was running at the rate of 25 miles an hour, too fast for any one, except under desperate chances, to jump ot! with out injuring his life and Conductor Roach did not attempt it. Ho swum beyond the side of the car, however nnd saw tho robber arise and make wit n all baste for tho dirt road that lea Is to K ins is City. That was the last seen of them.

Explorers who have returned from the State of Chiapas confirm and add to the re markable reports concerning Important arclieeological discoveries. A fine, broad, paved road, built by prehistoric Inhabitants, ha. been traced from Tonala down into Qautemala, and thence in a curve up again ink Mexico, terminating at Palenque. All along this road are still to be seen the re mains of ruined cities, and a careful esti mate of the population of these places is about 30,000,000. On that part of the rod near Talenijue the ruins are of great magnitude. House four and often five stories high have been found in the depth of the forest. Many of these houses are pyramidal in form, and so covered are some of them with vegetable mold that large trees are growing from the roofs. In some of the bouses great employment baa been made of stone beams of tremendous weight, and the architecture indicates a high degree of scientific attainments. In some houses visited bronze lamps have been discovered, and the interior and ex terior mural decorations of the more import ant houses cousist of paneling filled with I'lahoratuly-carved figures, almost life sixe, two types of men and women bang repre sented, some pluinly Egyptuin and others genuine Africans. In front of one of the houses tho explorers found 1 1 sculpture of god w ith folded arms. Tho work of ex ploration was one of extreme dilllculty, owing to tho density of the forest und the unw illingness of the Indians to enter ancient edilices, they averring that the buildings were inhabited by spirits. Another discovery was that an enormous paved roa I extends from I'ulcmpie acros Yucatan to the Island of Cozum:t, and is continued on the island. Tho explorers went to Chiapas on private business, but inciden tally became Interested iu the work of ex ploring the ruins, nnd they suggest that tho Government lit out un ex)sslition to make a complete map of this wonderfully interest region, regarding which comparatively litt e is known even after so many years since the white men becamo awure of its existence. 1'alcmpie explorers assert that they huve discovered in the edifices: before mentioned, examples of a H-rfect arch. One explorer Is aseiontillcally trained man who has recent ly arrived from India, and by his account the region from Chiapas to Yucatan must huve been the seat of a dously populous na tion.

At Missaula, in Western Montana Ibe streets, building mid sidewalks ure cov ered with ashes, and the air is like a blast from a furnace. Tho atmosphere is lilted with crisp embers that have descended like a Ofchtfa'.L.-f ii.ow, Il is estimated thut tho loss in Jollerson county from forest Ores this k-ason will aggregate in the neighborhood of (25,000, consisting of common wood cut and prepared for market, iu addition to which in immense amount of standing timber has betn destroyed. The lire raging in Boulder Canon, near Dernice, has been most destructive of prop, erty. Tho larger part of the cord wood con sumed in this place was contracted to the Anaco da smelter. In tho neighborhood of the great mining cimp of l'uil iusburg the damage ha been immense, while the town of Granite is in imminent danger of being destroyed.

Crop reports in this country and Europe arc so often manipulated by gruin specula tors, they don't do to rely on. The weight of evidence now is Hint we will have the largest yield of wheat this year ever knovn. It is estimated ut not less than .VK),uuo,00fl bushels, larger by ,"0,0oo,noo bushels than any preceding yield. Corn is hardly up to the average, but the yield ol oats uud hay nro also uhead of the record. At tho South great crop of corn, cotton, rice, sugar und tobacco ure promised. Tho rcKirts from abroad arein serious contrast with thischeer ing outlook. There Is hardly a break in the unfavorable showing made by the early har vests In the Europe in fields. It is admitted n the Russian olllciul reports thut the wheat crop is the poorest in many years sud the same Is true for tho most purt of Central and eastern Eurnie. The estimate for England und France have been greatly reduced within a few weeks The reports from Australia are bad, and esti mates from India show a shortage of 15, 000,000 bushels, or fully 0 per cent, of tho usual yiold. All this looks like big prices for the big American crop; and, if the present conditions hold, it is evidout that for the year now opened Amer ica will bold control of the market for the food aupply of tho world. SUGAR TRUST BUBBLE. A great crash iu the Sugur Trust is impend ing. A foreign syndicate got cout rol of SOO, DOO.OtiO pounds of sugar w hich was stored at Madgeburg, running tho market up to ,20a per hundred at Loudon, finally selling it to the American Sugur Trust at a presumably good profit. The contract with American purchasers called for the delivery in New York of sugar under 13 Dutch standard at which grade there is only moderate custom duties. The sugar was over the standard, and hence the duty was prohibitive. Then a plan was adopted of coloring the whole mas down to 13, by which process it loses ouo point in tho polariscopo us well. The bunks bucking the syndicate, on account of the time and risk in coloring the sugar, re fused to advance it more money, causing the syndicate to close its doors. The syndicate then got money advanced, presumably from tho American Sugur Trust, but this is only a temporary expedient, and the great crush must soon come. The Madgeburg schemers tried to reduce the sugar to a grade where It only would be taxed 2.03 cent per ound while in its uctuul state it would have been taxed 3.5 cents er pound. The difference between these two gross amounts would be f 1,130,000, which would bo w hat the Treas ury would have lost if the plan hud not gone wrong. Tho wholo amount involved in the transactions i over I j,000,ouO. The market bus goue down to 20s. JOirXSTOWX RELIEF FUND.
