THe SUAKIM MATTER DISCUSSED IN THE HOUSE.

i

Lonpon, Dee. 17.

In the Commons to-day, Lord Randolph | Churchill asked what would be the esti-| mated cost of sending reinforcements to | Suakim, and whether it was the intention

f the Government to impose the whole or | part of the expense upon Egypt in the face | of Lord Salisbury’s speech of March Ist, in | which he did not think the retention of | Suakim would be an advantage to Egypt, and advised the abandonment of that place.

Rt. Hon. James Ferguson, Parliament- ary Secretary at the Foreign Office, said it was imposstble to estimate the cost. Salis- bury’s utterance was merely a personal epinion in a speech made outside the House of Lords. There was no reason to believe the Egyptian Government concurred in Salisbury’s opinion, or intended to abandon Suakim.

Morley declared it would be repugnant to the House to separate without learning whether steps could be taken to avert the threatened fate of Emin Bey and Stanley. He urged the Government to issue a pro clamation tothe coast tribesmen, stating that, whatever happened, the Egyptian dominien would not be entered an inch beyond Suakim. The Government wants to detach the tribes from the Mahdi. It might assurethem they will be allowed to resume their positions.

Ferguson said the Government would not give the specific declaration required. A close perusal of Osman Digna’s letter in- creased doubts as to its genuineness. It did not bear the impress of truth and ap- peared like a clever oriental device, but it was not sufficient to delay the raising of the siege of Suakim.

Gladstone said it was the Government's policy to draw the widest distinction be- tween the Dervishes infesting Suakim and the comparatively powerful tribes regarded as proprietors of theSoudan. Why should not the Government attempt these to Eng- lish views. Regarding the occupation of Suakim, it was essential to de- termine whether the occupation be British or Egyptian. The matter ought to be submitted co the judgment of the House. He himself was adverse to any occupation. Lord Churchill said he regretted the re- sumption ef the course which he denounced when taken by the Liberals.

Chaplin and Beresford (Conservatives) advocated the retention of Suakim. Mor- ley, to obtain a division, movedjto reduce the vote by 300 pounds sterling.

The motion was rejected 165 to 76,

Battle Between Blacks and Whites,

Cotumspvus, Miss., Dec. 17. Near Wahalake, a small station on the Mobile and Ohio Railway, near Macon, Miss., last Friday, a negro and white boy got into a fight. The white boy’s father

attempted to separate them, and was set upon by a _ negro boy and his father and horribly beaten.

Yesterday the white man swore out a war- rant for the negru’s arrest, and a constable, Seth Cobb, went to the negro’s house to execute it, when he was attacked by a num- ber of negroes andbeaten. He then sum- moned a posse of 12 men, and went last evening to arrest the negro. The posse was fired upon from an ambush, five were killed outright, and six wounded. The negroes were strongly reinforced. Wahalake has telegraphed along the line for help. Meriden responded with 75 armed men, who were joined at every sta- tion. On reaching Wahalake they marched immediately to the scene. The negroes were barricaded and refused to surrender. At noon the forces were supposed to be about equal. This afternoon news was re- ceived that the belligerent negroes had re- treated to the swamps and are stubborn, while the non-combatant negroes are flee- ing to the woods in terror.

Steamship Matters.

Orrawa. Dec. 17.

Major McGreggan, representing the Pacific Steamship Co., owned by Sir Wm. Pierce and other English capitalists, had an interview on Saturday with Postmaster- General Haggart and Hon. Mr. Foster on steamship matters. He favors a fast mail service on the Atlantic and Pacific. Immi- grant returns show 83,000 actual settlers added to Canada’s population during the past season.

Upon the opening of the hospital which he built at Villanova, and which he de- clined to have named in his honor, the cere- mony was exceedingly simple, only Verdi and his family and some Villanova officials being present. He said he thought the prompt ad- mission of patients was the best kind of cere- mony, and accordingly twelve of them were duly installed.

A crank claims to have discovered a met- erological omen proving that Benjamin Harri son will not survive his presidential term. It snowed on the 19th November in the year when Benjamin Harrison’s grand father was elected to the presidency. It snowed on Nov ember 16th in the years when Taylor and Gar- field were respectively elected to the highest office in the land. Not one of these men lived to fulfill his administration. November 19th this year the sage deduces the conclusion that Benjamin Harrison has not four years lease of life.
