The Egyptian Flag Now Floating In
Triumph Over Dongola. .
DERVISHES IN FULL FLIGHT.
Several Emirs' of Importance Have Sur-
rendered—What Yet Remains to. Be
Done to Complete the Recon-
quest of the Country.
DONGOLA, on the Nile, Sept. 24.-—Thc
Egyptian flag was hoisted over Dongola
today. The dervishes are in full flight and
are being pursued by the gunboats on the
river and by the cavalry on the West bank
of the Nile.
Yesterday the Anglo-Egyptian expedi-
tion, under the sirdar. Sir Herbert Kitch-
, ener, arrived in force at Miowarat and en-
camped there for the night, preparatory
to moving upon the dervish position at
dawn.
Wad Bishara, the emir of Dongola and
lieutenant of the khedive at that time,
was throwing up earthworks facing the
river, being under the impression th he
troops composing the expeditionaryfice
"were still on the east bank of the
whereas they crossed over to the West bank
after the dervishes had been shelled out of
El Hafir and continued in pursuit of the
enemy.
As a measure of precaution also the
gunboat Abouklea returned to Dongola
and bombarded the forts and earthworks
until they were dismantled.
The advance was ordered at an early
hour this morning, and the Anglo-Egyp-
tian forces were close upon thedervishes
- before the latter were called to arms. But
the dervishes were quickly thrown into a
state of demoralizaiton and fled south-
ward. They were pursued by the gun-
boats, cavalry and camel corps. Several
emirs of importance surrendered, and a
number of the dervish troops announced
their willingness to serve under the Egyp-
tian flag, which was soon afterward form-
ally hoisted over Dongola, which is now
occupied by the Anglo-Egyptian force.
A Successful Conclusion.
The Sudan campaign proper is thus
brought to a speedy and Viinently suc-
cessful conclusion. The plans of Sir Her-
bert Kitchener have been carried out to
the letter with machinelike smoothness,
reflecting considerable credit upon all con-
cerned, for the greatest of difficulties,
cholera, terrible heat, {fearful storms and
the transportation of supplies and ammu-
nition for an army of over 15, 000 men
over the most difl‘icultcountry imaginable,
have been steadily overcome, and the goal
which was the object of the expedition
has .been reached. .-
Much more, however, remains to be
done in order to complete the reconquest
of the Sudan, reclaim that vast territory
for civilization and rescue hundreds of
: thousands of tribesmen from the cruel des-
potism of the caliph. But it is not be-
lieved that any further advance will be
made for the present. The whole campaign
has had to be conducted with the most
rigorous economyowing to the opposition
of the French and Russian commissioners
of the public debt (caisse) of Egypt to the
use of Egyptian funds for the purposes of
even the expedition to Dongola, and there-
fore they are not likely to sanction expend-
iture of Egyptian money for a further ad-
vance upon Khartum. Thus, if the cam-
paign is to be pushed beyond Dongola, the
government of Great Britain must furnish
the money required for the expenses of the
expedition, and re-enforcements of British
and Egyptian troops will be needed to push
on to Khartum and Omdurman.
Wad Bishara succeeded in escaping,
closely pursued, and, according to the
latest advices, has not been captured.
Caliph’s Power Broken.
Among the Emirs who fell into the
hands of the Anglo-Egyptian troops were
Hassan Nejumi and Abdul Diam. They
say that the rule of the caliph will be
completely broken by the repeated defeats
of the dervish forces, who thus far have
failed almost entirely to inflict any loss
upon the Anglo- Egyptian troops.
In addition to the emirs and large num-
bers of Dervish soldiers who fell into the
hands of the troops of the expedition, the
latter captured six field guns, a large quan-
tity of ammunition and great stores of
grain, etc. , besides many flocks of sheep,
herds of cattle and many camels.
Dongola will now be reconstructed on
better lines. The work of fortifying the
posts, villages and depots connecting Don-
gola with Wady-Halfa, over 200 miles dis—
tant, will be completed and the railroad
will be carried south to this point with all
possible haste.
Then the troops will be ready for the
word 'to push on to Kbartum and com-
plete the work so well commenced.
The intelligence department, it may be
added, has information which would tend
to show that serious disturbances at Khar-
tum and at Omdurman are probable, and
that the caliph may soon be overthrown
by his own followers.
It Killcd‘Pastor Colborn.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-—Rev. Mr. M.
Colborn, pastor of Grace Methodist Epis-
copal church, died yesterday. He was a
native and former resident of Massachu-
setts, but had been pastor of important
California churches for 15 years. His
death is attributed to paresis caused by
worry over a hideous-charge made against
him by a policeman of Golden Gate park.
The charge was completely disproved, but
Rev. Mr. Colburn’s character was there-
after the subject of frequent unfavorable
comments by weekly papers, and finally
the harsh criticisms sapped'his physical
and mental strength.

They Want to Be Auxiliary to the Amer-
ican Bankers’ Associhtion.

ing of representatives of trust companies
attending the bankers’ convention de-
veloped into a most important affair. The
purpose of the meeting was for the discus-
sion and adoption of a plan of organize-A
tlcn of trust company representatives as

Bankers’ association, and the greatest in-
terest was manifested in the meeting both

Mr. Dechert upon taking the chair
made a brief speech setting forth thgad-
vantages of organizing a trust company
section of the American Bankers' associa-
tion, and a discussion of the project then
followed. The central plan was‘ the or-
ganization of a body representing the lead-
ing trust companies of this country to
meet in conjunction with the annual con-
.vention of the Bankers’ association, but
for the purpose of discussing trust com-
pany questions and methods solely, leav-
ing purely banking questions to the bank-
ers themselves.
Mr. J. B. Case. of St. Louis offered a
resolution to the effect that a committee
of seven, to consist of the chairman and
secretary cf the meeting ex officio and of
five members to be appointed by the chair,
- be appointed for the purpose of conferring
with the executive council of the Bankers’
association as to the advisability of organ-
izing the trust company section of that as-
sociation. and that the same committee be
instructed, if the conference proved favor-
able, to report same back to this meeting
during the present session of the bankers’
convention, together with a plan of organ-
The motion was
adopted, and the chair appointed Messrs.
Case, Pain, Dudley, Hodenfyl and Fargo-
son, to act with himself and the secretary,
on such committee.

The Dog Stopped the Horse.
NEW CANAAN, Conn, Sept. 24.—Eddie
Lahey, the 9-year-old son of Morris Lahey,
an engineer on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, attempted to jump
into the rear of a delivery wagon yester-
day. His leg was caught in one of the
wheels. The member was twisted and
wrenched from the socket at the knee un-
til it hung by a'mere shred of flesh. The
boy was removed to his home, where he
died at 10:30. He would probably have
been killed outright had it not been for
his dog. The animal, bearing the boy’s
screams, ran to the horse, and, jumping
up, seized the horse by the nose and
brought it to a standstill.
