Sanguinary Leave-Taking of the Chief OompUer in the Architect's Office. A Valorous Scotchman's Vindication of His Reputation Master of the Situation. Washington, D. C, March 1. While Secretary Folger was engaged this morn ing In dictating letters to his private sec retary, he was startled by the sound of a feminine shriek In the ball and the wild clatter of a pair of French boot heels. Then his door was burst open without any ceremony by a pale-faced woman In black, a clerk In the Treasury, who came with the announcement that some of the clerks were engaged in murdering each other In the Supervising Architect's of fice. She announced in a most tragic man ner that she had seen with uerown start led eyes one man's throat cut and that a stream of blood was flowing down through the lower corridor. After making this an nouncement she showed signs of fainting in the private Secretary's arms. The uproar in the Architect's office was so great for four or five minutes that none of the colored aides-de-camp ven tured nearer than the stairs above it. For a time a wild panic prevailed throughout the Treasury, and public business was suspended for ten or fifteen minutes. The occasion of all the uproar was the formal leave-taking of Mr. Thompson, the Chief Compiler in the Architect's ollice. Thompson Is a very till, broad shouldered, hot-headed Scotchman. He was the especial friend of Hill when he was Architect. Bell, the present Archi tect, made up his mind a few weeks" ago to remove Thompson. The latter be lieved that iiki.l's mind was poisoned against him by some of the conspirators who were anxious to have him out of the way so they could secure promotion, lie was engaged by the Potomac Red Sandstone Company', but this soothing business fact did not appear to satisfy him. When he entered the olflce this morning he an nounced that as a farewell ceremony he proposed to thrash all the clerks In the ofllce so as to make sure of punishing those who had slandered him. He bexau with J. C. ltlackwell and L. J. Fentou. He accused Blackwell of slandering him, and in the course of an animated conver sation which followed he knocked Black well down under the desk. Fenton then threw a stone paper weight at Thompson, anticipating by a few seconds the thrash ing that was coming to him by his turn. The throwing of the cube hastened his punishment. In this last strug gle a quart bottle of red ink was thrown, striking Thompson on the head. It broke, and the red fluid streamed down the side of his face and flowed down the cor ridor. It was the sight of this ink which so frightened the female clerk, who ran screaming "murder" to the Secretary. After the two clerks had been laid out on the floor Thompson grabbed a pole used fur lowering window sh;ijes and charged iu the direction of the other flying clerks, who took refuge under desks orelse stam peded down the corridors. Thompson finding no one willing to confront him, very soon cooled off. He announced, with a chuckle, that he hoped this would be a good lesson to future slanderers and quietly resumed the duties of his desk. He was not disturbed again during the day. His farewell appearance in the Ar chitect's ollice is one that will be long re membered. The Philadelphia Fire -Losses and In surance. Philadki-Piiia, Fa., March 1.

Gaztttr, who said he would appear as his attorney at the request of the puper, which desired to have the Washington ofllce represented by counsel. J. Y Elder, the first witness called, said: Had conversation with Boyutou, In the pre ence of Charles G. Garlleld In the west corridor about March 1st; told Boynton he was Interested in the bill for the rOfief of Madisou Day, and wanted the Speak? to recogulze some, one who might call it up. Boynton said he was interested iu the McGarrahan bill, and the Speaker re fused to recognize any one for it. Mr. Boynton said the Speaker 'would leave the chuir without money and w ith out friends. Cross-examined by Mr. Ramsey, the witness said he had lived in Washington since 187S ; was introduced to Mr. Boyn ton by Colonel Bell; spoke to him last, preceding the March interview, when Keller was a candidate for Speaker; didn't offer Mr. Boynton an interest in the Day bill, nor propose any interest for the Speaker. Question: "Aro you J. W. Elder, named in the cause for a divorce In the courts of the District:" Objection by Coleman sustained. Witness : "Went to Cleveland at the re quest of Coleman, who paid my expenses; went to Keifer'srooui when the case came up; told him of the conversation. Was sent back by hi into Colyman as attorney; had no conversation with any one about the Boynton interview until it was stated to Kiefer after the committee was ap pointed." Boynton was cross-examined by the committee. Didn't say anything indi cating that a corrupt proposition had been made with the Speaker. Knew Boynton was a particular friend of Kelfer, and for that reason asked his assistance; positive Boynton said Kelfer would go out of ollice without money or friends. Wm. B. Green, Clerk of the Committee ou Accounts of the House of the F'orty-seventh Congress, and clerk of the sub-committee of the present House, had a conversation with Boynton, who told hint he had w rit ten up a claim for the Cincinnati Qxzett?, and that McGarrahan asked him as a friendly act to ask Keifer to recognize a certain gentleman, and Yn had done so; think the gentleman named was Dun nell. Ex-Representative Dunnell of Maine, was called and said : McGarrahan came to him and asked him to call tip his bill; replied hecouldn't do it, because he had a matteriu his own district to look after: understood that auother man would call up the McGarrahan bill, but later was told that McGarrahan would endeavor to call it up; didn't recollect telliug J.

Burleigh, ex-Delegate to Con?res from Dakota, was before the Ilou-e Com mittee on Expenditures, and testified regarding the various practices of the otlicers in Dakota and Montana, respon sible to the Department of Justice. He said he had heard of officers arresting men on trivial charges in remote parts of the Territory, and taking them to the places of holding court for the purpose of getting fees; thought the expenses of Marshals and courts generally should not have been more than half what they were last year. The witness referred to the personal habits of Judge Conger, of Montana, who was suspended last April, and super-eded by Judge Cobtirn, of In diana. He said theprivate life of Conger was that of a drunkard. He fre quently went upon the bench after " a night of debauchery and slept in his chair with his feet upon the desk, while an important case was ou trial. Mr. Millikeu, of the committee, objected to such testimony, as it reflected upon the private habits of a man now iu private life. The witness referred to the great delay in bringing men to trial, and thought the delay had cost Custer Countv 8:50,000. Chief Justice Shannon of Dakota, who investigated the conduct of Judge Con ger, testified substantially the same as Burleigh. Too Good to Live in the Baptist Church. Vandaiia, III., March 1.

Bravery, but are Defeated With Great Slaughter. The Threat of General Gordon Promptly v i Executed Treason Made ', Odious. ' EGYPT. .TiiiNKifAT,Marchl. General Graham's forces marched a mile beyond Fort Baker yesterday. The Rebels were constantly skirmishing under the advance gu ird du ring the morning. Suddenly a large force of rebels concealed among the scrub on the sandy knolls, opened a heavy fire on the. British troops who had bivouacked on tlieiicld, thoroughly drenched by a trop ical rain. General Graham Immediately ordered the troops to form In an oblong square, which had hardly been done When the rebels advanced under a heavy i vhich did little damage ; but before rrnrhlng to within pistol shot range of the BrOioh hue, they wheeled about and re th"d, when Graham Immediately ordered an advance on the rebel positions on the knolls. The rebels then gave-battle and fought with tremendous bravery, but were beaten on all sides, the firing of the British telliug fearfully on the enemy. The rebels stubbornly contested every inch of ground, and frightful slaughter ensued, the battle being very similar to that of Ululdi and tho British victory as complete as in that affair. The battle lasted all day, when the rebels retreated in disorder, leaving 1,000 men killed and wounded on the field. The British lost only ten killed and forty wouiided. At 9 :30 a gunboat fired from Trinkltat, but tho shells burst a mile short of the enemy's position. The cavalry and mounted Infantry advanced on the left to touch the rebels, who moved obstinately, though not indisposed to fight the in fantry, which continued to advance steadily. Two br'thrce times a halt was made to allow the sailors aud artillerymen dragging the guns to rest. The road to ward Teb was studded with hundreds of corpses of Baker Pasha's fugitives, filling the air with pollution, and around which swarms of carrion flies hovered. After advancing thre miles the earth-works of the rebels came lu sight. Guns were. mounted and standards were flying. The J bdi tire. had now almost ceased, except on the extreme right aud left. The British stepped forth as if on holiday parade, playing bagpipes, and the High landers footing cheerily. They advanced until within 8u0 yards of the rebels' posi tion, where was an old sugar mill sur rounded by a number of huts and where two guns were situated. Here a halt was ordered, and the scouts rejoined the cavalry. Neither force seemed disposed to open fire. At last, "Atten teutiou!" was called, whereupon the rebels seeing the British move, began the battle with shell from a Krupp pun, which passed wide over the square. The next shots were AIMED WITH GREATER ACCURACY and the shells burst close to the British, woundingseveral. The rebels maintained a rattling fusilade with small arms. As the shots increased the ambulance sur geons were fully occupied. The English advanced steadily in the square with out answering the rebel fire until they passed the north face of the rebel works. At tliis point a piece of shell wounded Baker Pasha, and twenty meu were hit. After an echelon of l.iioo yards a halt was ordered aud the in, u directed to lie down. It was now noonday, clear, and the wind dispersed the smoke of the rebel Are, disclosing the rebels' movements. Then the British opened fire and the rebel tire rapidly slackened. An advance was at once ordered. The troops rose mid approached the rebels' works. The rebels were in no military order, but they held their position desperately. There were two thousand of them in front and hundreds of them on the sides of the square. As the British advanced, tiring, the rebels arose within two hundred yards of thein and rushed headlong with spears upon the British line. They fell dead to the right and left. None of them bolted, but fell back sullenly. Having cleared the ground In front the British attacked Fort Buruaby, and carried it after a desperate tight. They turned two Krupp guns againt the enemy, but the Arabs contested every inch. The British then stormed the brick building, and at one o'clock the rebels bolted, the gatling guns and Mar tini rifles creating great havoc among them. The English forces advanced to the well at Teb, where the rebels made their last stand. After foih hours' arduous nan ting the British gained possession of the rebels' camp. The cavalry charged the retreating rebels, who did not bolt, but gave tnc troopers blow for blow. The enemy retreated slowly and the British kept up their lire. General Graham do cided to pass the night at Teb Wells. The advance on Tokar will be made to-day. VICTORIOUS EVERYWHERE. London, March 1. Special dispatches to the Daily Telegraph confirm the report that the British were everywhere victo rious lu yesterday's battle.

It is General fiiiiham's intention to march on Tokar to-day, where he expected the fight ing would be renewed, as the fortifica tions In that vicinity will enable the rebels to offer a determined resistance. The enemy showed great courage during the fight yesterday. When the British troops moved upon their position they refused to run, but fought to tho death, until Anally compelled to give way to the superior military discipline of the British troops, whose accurate firing rapidly diminished their number. ENGLAND. THE NEWS IN LONDON. London, March 1. 11 a. m, The news of General Graham's victory over the rebel forces under Osman Digna In the Soudan yesterday caused Immense enthusiasm. The complete subjugation of El Mahdi is now freely predicted on all sides, and the opinion is freely expressed that the Government should reconquer the whole Soudan before makiug terms with the rebels. The dynamite plots have ceased to be a toplo of conversation. Notwithstanding the fact that the police have found an In fernal machine in the Ludgate Street railway station, very little attention is paid to it, the public being entirely en grossed with the news of the brilliant vic tory of the forces under General Graham.
