"If it D9 true this it wa3 a combination of Arthur elements that defeated Levi P. Morten for the United" Statea Becartorship in New York on Mon day, and tb&t the President and his friend consider the selection of Evarts as a black eye to Blaine, then we may set it down that the administration! took a hand in the matter for the pure and siuiplo pur pose of punishing the late candidate for the Pessdency," observed a New York member, who is a friend to the Plumed Knight, speaking to your correspondent to-day. "What would yon take it to mean then. if the administration was at work against Morton?" was asked. 4,I would interpret it to be a sequence of tbe late campaign," replied the mem ber. "If the administration fought Blaine over Mcrton's shoulders it fought him over the shoulder of tbeNational Committee during the recent campaign, and I am inclined to the belief that it is bad taste for the President's friends to mention tho defeat of Morton as cnybody's victory or de feat." "Weli?" 'Yon would have me say mora? Only thij; that if it should appear and I suppose it will sometime leak oat that there was work done against Morton besaute he wai Elaine's friend, it Trill operate towards Blaine's re-nomination lour 3 ears from now."

Washington, Jan. 21. There wes a meeting of the Indiana delegation in Congress to-day for the purpose of agreeing upon some plan for uniteJ action in behalf of the bill, now pending in the Senate, directing that the State thai I be reimbursed for Interest they paid on war leans.

There he will be in pcsitfon to lay his Presidential ropes for lcSS. It is no wcret fctnocg bit friend that he is to be a candidate for the nomination,

and they expect to pit him in the convention against Mr, Elaine. Mr. Arthur is a good lawyer, and like Mr. Ccnkling and Mr. Evarta, will represent corporations, which will giv8 him large retainers for little work. He will have to labor fcr a livelihood, not having a competence. Speculation n to ihm Mako-np of Committee in the Next House. trcclal to the Sentinel. Washisgtox, Jan. 21. A good dei! of curiosity is exercised here re-arding the probable make-up of three or four of the most important committees in the House. Should Speaker Carlisle be re-elected, which i aitogetber likely, an intimate friend of the Speaker said tc-day that Mr. lUndall wculd be retained as head of Iba Appropriations, and Mr. Morrieon at the bead of Ways and Means, thauld be not be made Senator in the contest now going en, and then Mr. Tncler, of Virginia, would be taken from Judiciary and placed at the heed of Ways and Means. These are the two leading committees. The Senate Likely to Talk the Inter-State Commerce C11I to Death. Special to the Sentinel. Was-oingtox, Jan. 21. "Do you think an Inter-State Ccmmere bill will become a law by act of th' Congress?" your correspondent inquired of Eepresentative Reagan, of Texas, who 5 1 tbe father of the subject as it 1b now tef Congress. "I thin!. - ) 1 aope so," replied ha in one breath, ado opr. ".f not, it isn't my fault." Fewpeop'tfbre there here now but that believe it to be improbable, altogether impossible, that a bill can be agreed upon before adjournment. There is a wide difference of opinion held by the two branches of Congress, and it looks like the Senate meant to talk the measure to death.

"CI, representative Oates, of the Committee on Tablic Lands, has prepared a report oa tbe bill to prohibit aliens and foreigners from acquiring or owning lansls within the United States, which the committee ha.s reported to the House with the recommendation that it da pass. Mr. Oates says: "Your committee ascertained with reasonaila certainty tb3t certain noblemen of Earcpe, principally Englishmen, have acquired and nor: own in the aggregate about 100,000,000 acres cf land within the United States. We have not sufficient information to state the quantity owned bv untitled aliens, nor is it so important, as it i3 generally held in smallsr bodies. This alien non-resid?nt ownership will, in the coarse ot time, lead to a system ot landlordism incompatible with the bet Interests and free institutions of the United States. The foundation for such a system i3 beiog laid broad'y In the Western Stateend Terxitjrits.

The Agricultural bill reported to day provides that tbe Commissioner of Agriculture may uso Fuch part of the appropriation fo the Bureau of Animal Industry as he may deem neceBc?, and in such way ai he may thiDk best to prevent the spread of pleuropneumonia The new authority vested in the Commissioner is, however, not to conflict with the existing law. The Secretary of the Treasury has decided a question pending for sjme time, involving the duties of tin pletes. Tbe lav puts a duly of one cent per pound on the article commercially known es tin plate. It was contended by American manufacturers of shtet iron, which to some extent comes into competition with the larger eizfs of tin plates, that the commercial article of tin plate is restricted to certain siz3 and thickj re", and that the lar?p.r tizes ought to pasa under a much ni?hr duty.

A Greedy Operator, After the Miners Accept a It eduction Without a Murmur, Asks Another, and the Men Strikt on Both Reductions. PiTTsnur.o, Jan. 21. There ii a strike among the miners in the Myertdale coke regions. The men are resisting a reduction of four cents a ton in their träges. They have been receiving thirty cents per ton for mining, and that is said to be the highest ever paid in the co.e regions. On the l"th of last mon n, a reduction of four cents per too was made, and the men accepted the cut without a murmur. One operator then akei tha men to work for twenty cents. This angered them, as J they struck. In this move they were followed by all the miners in that district, wno demhuded a return to thirty csnti.

THE EGYPTIAN S0ÜDAX.

Desperate Battle in the Hassairljeh Desert iJetween Dritish Troops and Soudan Arabs. The Latter Defeated After a Stubbira Fight Tne Hussra' Line Broken Onco. BATTLE IN 1IASSAWIYEU DESERT. The ltrltlsh Troops in the Soudan Have a Desperate Battle With the Mahdt'n Troops and Galu a Complete Victory. London, Jan. 21. A dispatch has be?n received at tbe War Odice from General Woleeley, dated Korti, January 21, C p. rn., which reads substantially as follows: General Stewart has had a heavy engagemeat with a portion of the Mahdi's forces, near A.bu Klea Wells, abaut twenty-three miles this side of Metemneh. The rebel3 had collected from Berber, Metemneh, and Abdnrman. This la3t place, I rf gret to say, the prisoners report, was recently captured by the Mahdi, and thus the men were released from there to fight General Stewart On the afternoon of January 10, Stewart's cavalry reported that the enemy were in position some few miles this side ot the welle. As it was too late in the day to allow ah advance and successsfnl encounter, General Stewart bivouacked where he was for the night, aud the enemy kept up a harm!e33 fire all night, aud erected works on General Stewart's right flank. On Saturday General Stewart endeavored to draw the enemy on to make an attack, but the rebels hesitated. In consequence, General Stewart left all his impediments, f l-o his camels, with a guard of the Sussex regiment and some mounted infantry, and moved forward, keeping his forces in'tbe form of a square. All the men were on foot. The British Army passed around the enemy's left flank, forcing them to make an attack or ba subjected to an enfilading fire. The enemy wheeled to tbe left, and made a well-organized charge under a withering fire from our men. The square waa fortunately penetrat9d about its left rear, where a heavy cavalry and camel regiment were in position, by the sheer weight of numbers. The Admirable steadiness of our men enabled them to maintain a hand to hand fight with the opposing force, while severe punishment W8s being inllicted upon the enemy by all tbe other parts of the square. The enemy was hn ally driven back by a heavy hie horn all sides. The Nineteenth Hassars then pushed fcrward to the wells, which were m orr poFseision by b in the evening. Tie enemy left not loss than 600 slain aiound the euar. The prisoners taken while the er.emy were retiring report the number cf the wounded a3 quite exceptional. Ore cf the immediate eHects of the battle is that many of the rebels are submitting. It was necessary for the army to remain at the well some hoars to obtain water. As soon as practicable the intention was to push on with all expedition to Metemneh. Tbe English wounded are doing well." General WoLseley says General Stewart caneludes his retort as follows: "It has been my duty to command a force from which exceptional work, exceptional hardships and exceptional fighting ha3 been called for. It would be impossible to adequately describe the admirable support given to me by every officer and man of t!i force. I regret to say that our loss was severe, but our succcis has been bo complete that it may dishearten the enemy to suca an extent that all their future fighting may be of a less obstinate character." Gcneial Lord Woleeley &ays:1 ' Generil Stewart's operations have been most creditable to him as a commander, and the nation hss eyf ry it ason to be proud of his gallantry and f plendid spirit of her Majesty's soldierj on this occasion. Oar losses were niue ommitsiored officers killed and nice wounded, and sixty five non commissioned officers and men killed srd eighty-five wounded. General Stewart'e force consists of about 1,500 men all told. Besido Colonel Barnaby, the following were killed: Major Carmtchael, Fifth Lancers; Msjor Atherton, Fifth DifgcoLs; Mejor Gougb, Royal Dragoons; Captain Barley and Liei tenant Law, Fourth Disgocns; Lieutenant Wolf, Scots Grays, ard Lieutenants Piottand De Lisle, Naval Brijade. Lord St. Vincent and Lord Airlie were wounded" Another Arcu.ut uf tbe llattle. London, Jab. 21. A dispatch t3 Rsuter's Telegram Company, dated near Abu Klea Wells, Saturday noon, gives the following account of tee engagement: "When the Husscr econts returned yesterday, announcing that the rebels held the Wells, the British fort es promptly formed in mass column and advanced to the Wells. The guards marched at the left of the column, the heavy corps in tbe center and the mounted infantry at the right. The column halted within three miles cf the Welis, but the rebels showed no 8;gm of moving. The British troops were set to felling trees and clearing away the grass in front of the column. An abattis was formed around the baggaee and stone breastworks, with a frontage of 150 yards, was erected as an additional protection. In the afternoon tbe enemy's camp w;is sighted four miles from our Zareeba. It comprised nomercus tents and appeared to be fairly well fortified. Meanwhile two graups of rebels were watching us from the high hills on tbe left front AtG in the evening tbe enemy fired a few strav shots, and tbe British replied with several shells The enemy continued firing throughout Friday night, causing only one sligat casualty. Saturday forenoon the enfmy commenced advancing in two divisions in eshelon, each numbering 6ome 5,000 men, beating drums and waving fl gs. Many of them were armed with rifies. f he enemy occasionally ha'ted as if trymg to discover the British formation. Meanwhile the British were steadily preparing for the reception of the rebels. They formed a fquare, the artillary being placed in the center, and ad?anced to meet the overwhelming force of the enemy, who occnplfd favorable grounds, sbowing great knon ledge cf the art of war. They

drew us to a ditScnlt position, for operations, when, by ft cleverly executed movement, they almost disappeared from view, leaving enly their standards risible. Suddenly a large body of rebels appeared, and furiously charged upon the frodt of the British fquare. The British replied with a deadly fire, which the rebals were unable to withstand, and then turned ani attacked the left rear of the square. The heavy trcops were borne down by the onslaught, and broke their formation for a few moments, but quickly rallied. A hand-to hand right ensued. The rebels penetrated the ranks, but were subjected to a heavy flank fire, and finally were driven back. General Stewart had ft narrow escape, his hore being killed under him. It is reported the rebels are in force at Metemneh. Farther Details of the Battle in the Ilaf.nwljeb. Desort. London, Jan. 21 The battle between General Stewart's troops and the Arabs iwhich was fought at a point in the Hassewiyeh desert twenty-thres miles northwest from Metamcneh, and near tbe caravan station ot Stebacas. General Stewart's force consisted of about 1,500 men. On the approach of the Arabs, who were estimated to number g,0CO or 10.000, General Stewart formed his troops into a hollow square, with field pieces at the corners. The invalids and provisions in the center. The Arabs made their attack in a tumultuous rush, directed principally upon the side ci the square held by the Hussar?. This side of the square was broken at one time during the fight. The officers attributed this disaster to the unruly conduct of the camei?, which got powder burned and became uncontrollable. The line was speedily reformed and the discipline of the men was splendid throughout the action. A steady and deadly fire was kept np by the Hussars and mounted infantry, while tbe artillery maintained an unfailing fire, which piled the dead Arhs up ;in hap-. The space in front of the British right Mar x was a veritable slaughter-pen, and when the Arabs were finally repulsed they left 800 of their number dead upon the field. The number of their wounded who were able to march or to be carried from the Held is estimated at 2,000. Most of the casualties on tbe British side occurred during a break in tbe line oflthe Hussars. The British tcok their own and the Arabs wounded to the welts at Stebacas. Most of the wounded are reported doing well. General Stewart, with the remainder of his trcops, Is progressing toward Metamnch. During the night preceding tbe action the Arabs threw np small earthworks, intended to intercept General Stewart's march, but they were captured and destroyed by a detachment of English troops.
