THE ADVANCE IN BGTPT. The British government has ordered on advance on Dongoia, and there is much rejoicing in the army at the pros pec: of another campaign in the Soudan, despite the uasatisfactory results of the last campaign far the rescue ot General Gordon at Khartoum. The soldiers ot the Mahdi are fierca and tirelesa fight? ers, and with the fall of the last men* tioned city and death of General Gor? don all ot the country as far south as Lake Albert Nyanza fell into the hands of the Arabs, except the province held by Emin Pasha, whose rescue or abduc- i tion by Henry M. Stanley the great African explorer, aroused so much j interest in Europe and America some six or seven years sgo. The proposed advance of a British Egyptian expedition along the Nile from Wady Haifa, on Uongola has been in contemplation for a year paat, although the crushing defeat ot the Italians at Adowa baa no doubt precl- , pltated it. The English government evidently believes that this defeat will have a depressing effect upon the pres? tige of European arms, and will prob- . ably be followed by a rush of Dervisher ' northward into Egypt proper. The Brit- i ish also realize the great undeveloped resources of the Soudan and will not reit until they reoover the fertile re? gions about Dongoia, which once fur? nished a wealth of supplies to tbe Egyptian government. The plan of campaign will, it is said, involve the use of five black infantry battalions, seven Egyptian battalionB, j and a large force of artillery and cav? i airy, with about one bundred British | otHcers. The same route will be taken that was followed In the campaign of ! 1334, and on account cf the low water in the Kile at this season of the year a large number of camels will be used in the transportation of ammunition and supplies. After the capture of Dongola the Soudan will be conquered, provlnoa by province, or rather, this is the British plan. They will have, however, a very uncertain quantity to consider in the opposition of the Mahdlsts. These fanatlos have shown them? selves terrible fighters, and previous successes, with the experience tb<*v have gained in European methods ? warfare, will make their subjection a task of the first magnitude. There is something about the Soudan peculiarly faaoinatlug to Europeans, ac? cording to British officers of rank who have served in that strange eountry, and the campaign will, no doubt, be entered upon by the English with great ardor and enthusiasm To open up the country to the civil? ising influences of Christianity will be a great boon to the people, who are held in the most abjeot bondage, and are slaves to the most blighting supersti? tion. Hence the course of the army on its march southward will be watched with deep interest by enlightened people everywhere. France will see in this advance an in? definite continuance of the British hold npon Egypt and. of course, will not look kindly upon the movement. Rus? sia and Germany also will not probably be In sympathy with the British, but, apart from tbeir selfisb interests and prejudices, they must admit that tho enlightened rule of a Christian nation Is far preferable in that benighted coun? try to the government of the Mahdl. To secure ooal at 83 50 per ton and telephone service at half the present cost would be a great gain to the pock? ets of the people of Roanoke.

The reductions must and surely will come, sooner or later. McKinley has'captured the two dele? gates to the National Convention from the Thirty-third Congressional district of New York- State, and is also making great headway in the West. If he oould hold the Southern delegates already pledged to him and haa the showiDg in the Middle States that this capture would Indicate, there seems to bo noth? ing to prevent his nomination for I'ro?i dent by the National Republican Con? vention at St. Louis in June. At a recent moating of tho B.uefie.d, W. Va , Republican Club strong resolu? tions endorsing the nominalen of Mc? Kinley for President were adopted. The friends of Ohio's favorite son are cer? tainly keeping tho ball 1. motion for him.

A. hall at 4 o'clock this evening on the subject "Esau " The meeting will open with a short aong service with piano and cello aooompanlment. All men are cordially invited. One of the practical results of the re? cent State convention is the weekly secretarial news letter. Each secre? tary sends in a oonolsely written state? ment of the prominent events of the local association. These letters aro compiled at the State office by mlmeo graphlo process and a copy sent to each secretary, thus enabling each associa? tion to got a picture of the work all over the State once a week. Tbo Roa? noke loiter la posted in the Roanoke Y. M. C. A. office, where it can be consulted by our citizens. Under the leadership of State Secre? tary Coulter the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical (')llege at Blacksburg raised nearly 84,000 toward a Yousg Men's Christian Association building for that institution last week. It is ex? pected that about 810,000 will bo raised altogether. At no time in tho history of the as? sociation ha? tbere been so muoh in? telligent study of the Biblo as to-day. Twenty-five members of the Roanoke asaocla ion are pursuing a systematic study of tho grand old Book, and the reports show that all through the State the ln:erest in Bible study Is growing.
