The article presents news related to various political issues at international level. The U.S. Senate continued in executive session on Wednesday until 7 o'clock, discussing the Nicaragua treaty. The Union Pacific Funding Bill was called up in the Senate on Monday. There is an evident desire on the part of the opponents of the measure to postpone it indefinitely. After the retreat of the Arabs, the British made the march to the Nile under a continuous fire from the Arabs in ambush, reaching the river at sunset, and encamping for the night. The Paris correspondent of the London Times telegraphed a dispatch concerning the object of the coming meeting of Irish revolutionists in Paris.
