New Yorx, Jan. 24.
A despaich from London, dated 4 p. m. says an alarming explosion of dynamite hes just occurred in the House of Parliament.
LATER : Lonpon, Jan. 24.
The Houses of Parliament and the Gov- ernment Offices were severely shaken, and great damage done. It is at this moment impossible to tell the extent of the calam- itp. A rumor is current at this hour that two more explosions oceurred at about the same time as that at the House of Parlia- ment.
THE LONDON TOWER.
The rumors regarding the other explo- sions are confirmed. The explosion at Lon- don Tower was the most successful which has yet been made. The famous old build- ine was crowded with visitors at the time of the explosion. The wildest rumors are in circulation as to the number of persons injured. Tho attack was made ou that portion of the building known as the White Tower. It was fairly filled with visitora at the timo, and most if not all of those who are known to have been hurt were moving about in the Tower at the time of the explosion. The White Tower was almost completely wrecked by the force of the explosion, and the roof was blown clear off the structure.
THE POLICE AT WORK,
The police, the moment they realized the nature of the explosion, effectually barred all egress from the Tower and grounds. They are now subjecting every person who they have succeeded in detaining to a rigid search, upon the theory that the attack was perpetrated by some person or persons inside the premises.
LATEST. Lonpon, Jan. 24. THE WOUNDED CARED FOR.
Surgeons were promptly summoned to the assistance of the wounded, who were now receiving attention. The first explosion in the crypt of Westminster Hall was imme- diately followed by that at the House of Commons.
PICKING UP A MISSLE Immediately before the first explosion a lady visitor, who was alone, and was about | to enter the building, beckoned to a police- | man, and when he went to her she called | his atiention toa package lying upon the | steps outside the crypt. The policeman | picked up the package carelessly, noi aus. | pecting’ anything, and went without to Westminster Halli. He had no sooner | reached the Hall than the package exploded. The explosion knocked the policeman down and injured him very seriously. The force also knocked down two other persuns. SMASHED TO ATOMS.
The rear window over the main entrance to Westminister Hal! was smashed to atoms, and ail the side windows were blown out, In the interior of the House of Commons and upon the floor the only seat damaged by the explosion was that which Mr. Gladstone cceupies. A piece was alzo torn off the top of the Speaker's chai
A PANIC AMONG VISITORS,
The explosion caused quite a panic among visitors who were in the building at the time, and many were badly injured in the rush out. The second explosion in the Parliament Buildings occurred three minutes later than the first, and was more destructive. The dynamite which caused the second explosion must have been placed under ihe Peers gallery on the left side. No hope is entertained of the survival of the wennded policemen.
THE HOUSE OF COMMONS LOBBY ISHED.
The force of the explosion was so great that persons 300 yards from the scene wero thrown down. The lobby of the House of Commons was completely demolished.
A CLUE TO THE PERPETRATORS OF THE OUT- RAGE.
A clie to the perpetrators has been dis- covered. Just before the explosion a man and woman, the latter carrying a hand bag, engaged a cab outside of Parliament Yard, and drove rapidly away. They had not gone far when the explosion happened The cab man having then stopped. The man and woman leaped out and hastened away. ‘The cab man went in pursuit and the run- aways were overtaken and arrested. The belief prevails that the distructive agent was conveyed into (he House of Commons by some visitors. Ful! investigation shows the extent of the damage is greater than at first supposed. The western extremity of the House is a total wreck. Every pain of glass in the House was smashed to atoms.

TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT ‘wo Men Burned to Death
Orrawa, Jan. 24.
As the Toronto Canadian Pacific Express Train was running by Smith Falls Junction this evening, at the rate of thirty miles an hour, an axie of the engine broke, throw- ing the engine from the track, striking a large water tank which was soon in flames. The fire spread to the express and baggage care which were soon consumed with their contents. One first-class car, one secoud- class car and a sleeper were burned. A shanty man who was being bronght home from the lumber woods with a broken kg on a stretcher in the baggage car was burn ed to death; also a baggage man whose name could not be learned. The mails were lost,
El Mahdi Short of Provisions.
Lonpon, Jan. 24. The latest Arab papers state that El Mahdi is short of provisions and has been forced to send a portion of his army back to
Kordoian. They report that he has 12,000 troops’ at Omdur- man. The War Office has made
public a despatch from Gen. Wolseley at Korti, who says he has heard nothing further from Gen. Stewart. Great anxiety
in regard to the safety of Gen Ste- wart and his army is felt, no news having been received of him
since the 17th inst. Rumors are in circula. tion that Stewart’s entire force has been killed. The War Office, however, discredit the rumors in the absence of any reports.
A Desperate Battle in the Desert.
GEN. SEEWARTS FORCES SURROUNDED.
Further Particulars
SKETCH OF COL, BURNABY, List of Officers Killed.
SURROUNDED IN THE DESERT. The midnight despatches report that
| General Stewart has been surrounded by
the rebels in the desert and has been com- pelled to entrench himself and await rein- iorcemente, Though this information comes by private despatches and is not fully credited at the war cflice, it has appearance of truth. The official de- spaichos make no mention of pursuit after
| the jasi battle, and itis only too apparent
ti.at General Stewart's force is far too small fur the duty assiyned them. Beyond doubt there will yet be severe fighting before the Mahdi is conquered. He has recently cap- tured Obdurmes, which faces and com- matds Khartoum, and appears to have possesion of tho river. The danger is that Stewart may be overwhelmed before reinforceiicuts reach him. While still tinstin; that General Wolseley’s tradi'ional good iuck may be maintained throughout the campaign, it must be felt that the present situation is full of peril. The judiciousness of choosing the Nile route for the expedition at the outset is now more thau ever questionable.
The morning papers contain columns of descriptions and comments regarding Stewart's battle, extolling the heorvism of British troops. Col. Burnaby is described as dying like a true British bull-'og, with his hand clinched in death about the throat
of an Arab whose spear was thrust through
the colonel’s neck. The English soldiers had neither food nor water since the night before the battle. The British had no idea that the enemy was so near; native troops led them to suppose that only a few rebels held Abu Kiea. Atthe first shock from the enemy, the FATE OF THE WHOLE BRITISH FORCES
trembled in the balance, but the steadiness of the guards, the marine corps and the mounted infantry prevailed and the rebels retired.
The Egyptian allies fought desperately. The great losees fell on the camei cor ps, six of whose cflicers were killed snd two wounded. ‘The rebels brought all their best treops to the attack. Line efter line of rebela fell under the first of Martini rifles. The Naval Brigade suffered great loss.
Gen. Stewart’s orderly was killed by his sde. ‘he interior of the square pie:en‘e} a mass of falling and struggling Arabs and English. Three hearty cheers were given when the square was reformed on fresh ground. ‘The rebels had 900 special negro riflemen, all good shots,

Meanwhile the British were preparing for the reception of the rebels ; they formed a gsquare, with artil- lery in the centre, and advanced to meet the OVERWHELMING
who occupied favorable ground and dis- pleye! great knowledge of the art of war. ‘They drew us to a difficult position for operating, when by a cleverly executed movement they almost disappeared, leaving only their standards visible. Suddenly a large number of rebels appeared aud furiously charged upon the front of the British square. The British replied with a deadly fire, which the rebels were unable to Withstand, and they turned and attacked the left rear of the square. The heavy cavalry and camel corps, borne down by the onslaught, broke the formation, but quick'y rallied. A hand-to-hand fight ensued. The rebels penetrated the British ranks, but were subject to a heavy flank tire and finally driven back. General Stewart bad a narrow escape, his horse being killed under him.
FORCE OF THE ENEMY
A DRAW BATTLE,
Private advices received on the 23rd from K\or.i assert that the rebels have surrounded Gen. Stewart in the desert, where he has taken up an entrenched pesition to await reinforcements from Gen. Wolseley, De- serters from the rebel lines state that the Mahdi’s officers consider the affair at Abu Klea Wells a drawn battle. The Arabs were neither routed nor pursued, and fell back in an orderly manner, and not in the least demoralized by the outcome of the eigagement. They recovered themselves so quickly and effectively that Gon. Stewart dared not move, and was compelled to entrench himself on the scene of th» con- flict. The government cfficials discredit th information conveyed in the above private despatches.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A Cespatch has been received at the war oftice from Gen. Wolseley, dated Korti, Jan. 21, 3 o’clock, p. m., which reads sub- stantially as follows :—
‘*Gen. Stewart has had a heavy engage- ment with a portion of the Madhi’s forces, near Abu Klea wells, about twenty-three miles this side of Metemneh. The rebels had collected from Berber, Metemneh and Umdur Aman. This last place, the prison- ers report, was
RECENTLY CAPTURED BY THE MAHDI,
and thus the men were released from their captivity to fight Gen. Stewart. On the afternoon of January 16, Stewart's cavalry reported that the enemy were in person a few miles this side of the wells. It being too late in the day to allow hia advance and successful encounter, Stewart bivouacked where he was for the night. The enemy kept up a harmless fire all night, and erected their works on Stewart’s right flank. On Saturday Gen. Stewart endeavored to
DRAW THE ENEMY ON
to make an attack, but the rebels hesitated. in consequence Stewart left all his impedi- ments and camels under guard of the Sus- sex Regiment and some mounted infantry, and moved forward, keeping the forces in the form of a square. All the men were on foot. The British army passed round the enemy’s left flank, forcing them to make an attack, or be subject to an enfilade fire. The enemy wheeled to the left and de- livered a well-organized charge under a withering fire from our men. The square was unfortunately penetrated about its left rear, where a heavy cavalry and camel regiment were in position, hy sheer weight of numbers. The admirable steadiness of our men, enabled them to maintain a
HAND TO HAND FIGHT
with the opposing forces, while severe punishment was being inflicted upon the enemy by all other parts of the square. The enemy was finally driven back under a heavy fire from all sides. The Nineteenth Hussars then pushed forward to the welis, which were in our possession by five in the evening. Tne enemy 'eft not less than 800 slain dround the square. ‘The prisoners taken while the enemy were retiring report that the number of the enemy wounded was quite exceptional. One immediate effect of the battle is that
MANY OF THE REBELS ARE SUBMITTING.
It was necessary for the army to remain at the wells some hours to obtain water. As soon as practicable the intention was to push on with all expedition to Metemneh. The English wounded are doing well.”
The report concludes as follows : ‘‘1t has been my duty to command a force from which exceptional work, exceptional hard- ship and exceptional fighting have been called for. It would be impossible to adequately describe the admirable support given me by every officer and man ot the force. Il regrét to say that our loss was s2vere, but our
SUCCESS HAS BEEN SO COMPLETE
that it may dishearten the enemy to such an extent that all their future fighting may be of a less obstinate character.’’
Lord Wolseley says: ‘‘Stewart’s opera- tions have been most creditable to him as a commander, and ‘the nation has every reason to be prcud of the gallantry and splendid spirit of Her Majesty’s soldiers on this occasion. Our losses were nine commissioned oflicers killed and nine wounded, and sixty-five ron-commissioned officers and men killed and eighty-five wounded. Gen. Stewart’s force consists of about 1,500 men all told.”
DEATH OF COL. BARNABY,.
Chief among the officers killed in the battle was Lt. Col. Barnaby, the hero of the Ride to Khiva. He was ason of the late Rev. C. Barnaby by Harriet, sister of the well-known Harry Villebois of Markham House, Norfolk, Eng. Col. Barnaby, was born at Bedford, Eng., on March 3rd.1842, and received his education at Harrow and in Germany. He entered the Royal Horse Guards, Bives, Sept. 30th. 1859. So pas- |sionately fond was he of fencing and gymnastics that he became very muscular at | the expense of his vitality and broke down. | Being recommended by his medical
advisers to travel he visited South |Amecica, Central Africa and most of Europe. In 1875 he determined to take his |famous journey to Khiva, although the /journey was beset by almost instirmount- | able obstacles. Col Burnaby was excep- | onally fitted for this particular journey by his acquaintance with the Russian and | Arabian languages, and he was besides as much at home on a camel, in & canoe, a
UARY
sledge or a balloon, as in a railway carriage or a steamer. Moreover he delighted in vrappling with a difficulty, and his deter- mination to ‘penetrate Central Asin was much stimulated by the assurance that it wes impossible.

This, he carried into Westminster jiall, adjoining St. Stephen’s Hall, and _ it exploded in his hands, wounding him mortally. Two other people were injured at the same time. This hall was originally built in 1097, but has since been rebuilt. It is about 290 feet long, 68 feet wide, and 90 feet high. It has the largest roof unsupported

Almost simultaneously an explosion occurred in the Tower of London, which, it is needless to say, is along distance from Westminster. The explosion took place in tae White Tower, which is the
