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,.
(s.i to t he cash on hand for u week. 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. Tho business failures num
bered U'l'l, as compared with a total of -10
last week, an 1 Jos the week previous. For

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. Lonls,
n Illinois Central coach and the St. I'sul
Coach, in the order named, hail pulled out
of Harlem, where it wa duo at
8:35 and had run alout distance
of four miles, when two men entered
the rear door of the St. l'aul sleer
One of them bud utilized a w hite handker
chief a a mark, and tho other a red one.
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

the region from Chiapas to Yucatan must
huve been the seat of a dously populous na

THE WORLD S HARVEST.
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.

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.

OPENED 1113 HEAD.
Herman Carman, the wealthy Gorman of
Chicago who put one bullet into his head
lost Sunday and another Tuesduy noun, is
alive and very much better than he was.
He was put under the Influence of ether,
and Drs. Graves and Webster succeeded In
extracting the bullet in his brain. They cut
a circulur hole in the top of his bead with a
trepan and removed the piece of lead that h
tired through the roof of his mouth.
The paralysis of his right leg was imme
diately removed by the operation.
