The Egyptian Troubles.

@ A special London cable syys the latest advices received from Suakim and K bar- toum= leave but small gvroaud fer the ‘hope that, the beleagered garrisons will | escape, as the van of El Mahdi’s column |is marehing down the white Nile River | and is reported to have halted but a few /miles ‘from Khartoum. Col. Coetlogone, who is in command at Khartoum, has announced his intention to try to affect a

march to Kissola, as the route to | Berber from Khartoum is up by {the enemy, but it is reported

| that owing to the very rapid advance of El Mahdi’s troops retreat by way of Kissola has been cut off, and that Col. Coetlogona’s force is thus shut up in Khar- toum. Hundreds of fugitives have fled from _Khagtoum, however, and have. thus far reached Kissola im safety. _ Reinforee- nents of.traops are leaving Cairo for Soukim, and Baker Pasha’s force will be raised to ten thousand men, with some field guns and gatlings. The Government has ordered that an attempt be made for the, relief of Sinkat at all hazards, but has refused sanction Baker Pasha’s plan to relieve Col. Coetlogona; which was to DESPATCH TROOPS FROM SUAKIM

Massowah. Lord’ Ampthill, British ambassador at Berlin, has sounded Prince Bismarck upon the advisability of calling a European conference to settle the Egyptian question. Prince Bismarck is reporfed to have declined to favor any such movement, on the ground that the powers could not accept the responsibility and relieve Eng- land of her blunders in Egypt. All the morning papers in London express un- qualified gladness that General Gordon has accepted the mission to Egypt. He will go to Khartoum with full power to make the best atrangements possible fo settle the affairs of Soudan, and the Pall Mall Gazette says that henecforth Great Brita'n has full and undivided responsibi- lity of Soudan. General Gordon in going to Soudan as representative of the British Government must entail as a natural corol- liry assumptien of a similar responsibility for the affairs of Egypt proper. The Sun’s cable says:—Khartoum has became the mst important city in the world to the Glalstone eabinet, and its fate apparently involves the life or dea‘h of the English ministry. The situation there is gloomy, as several small girrisons south of Khar- toum have already been cut off and El Mahdi is r ported to was acre freely. THE NILE IS BLOCKED BOTH NORTH AND

SoUTH

of the doond city. Hosts of Arabs are swarm ng towards it, and inside a good half of the populatioa believe that the Mahdi relief of the Sinkat will be almost as momentous a task as that of Khar- toum. Provisions are getting scarce and twenty-five thousand rebels stand between Suakim and Sinkat. A telegram from Cairo states that it is reported that nego- tiations have been opened between Egypt and Abyssinia. ‘The latter demands the cession by Egypt of the Bozos territory and the post of Ma s>wak which adjoins the northeastern boundry of Abyssinia. Under a threat that the the King of Abyssinia will declare war on Egypt if his demand is refused, Egypt is willing to cede the terri- tory of Bogos and the port of Zoulla, which is south of Massowah, on condition that Abyssinia shall operate against {il Mahdi. This arrangement is regarded as vobable. It is officially announced that the. _Khedive .has. no. intention .of abdi- cating.

A Peculiar Accident—Killed a Half Mile from the Scene.

A*tetrible explosion oceurred at the'Con- sumer’s Powder Mills, at Scranton, Pa., on the 19th inst. The explosion, it is thonght, was cauesd by-an incendiary. Five build- ings with their contents were destroyed. Twenty workmen’ who were within a few hundred vards of the mills had a miraculous escape. L, H. Emory, who was half a mile away, was killed by a flying~piece * of ma- chinery. Another man who accompanied Emory had his leg breken. Several cars on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western track, near the powder mi‘l&, were smashed. The éxplosion was distinctly heard in Scranton. The people of Peckvills thought the judgment day had atrived. Their windows. went to pieces, their chimneys

There werd no explosives in the grist mill where the fire started, and for nearly an hour Superintendent Dakiw and the workmen, at the peril of their lives, poured water on the burning building with buckets, while the sparks fell in showers about the powder house close by. When the ‘first shock occurred the men fell on their faces and escaped uninjured, with the exception of Dakin, who had one of hia legs badly bruised,
