GREAT HORDES OF ARABS Sweeping Down On The British. BULLER IN IMMINENT PERIL. General Stewart Dies Of His Wounds. THE LATEST CABINET GOSSIP. Evarts Dined By The T ale Alumni. XII K ARABS SWEEPING DOWN On Bnller'a Camp At Abn-Klea-Hla Position Extremely Critical General Stewart Swells tne List of Dead Great Excitement and Alarm In England. London, .Feb. 20. The war office is in re ceipt of a dispatch this morning from Gene ral Lord Wolseley announcing the death of General Stewart at Gadkal from the wonnd received on the 19th nit. while advancing after the battle of Aba Klea on Moten?neh. The news of General Stewart's death spread like wildfire throughout London, and on every side expressions of regret are heard at the taking off of such a gallant officer. The names of Gordon, Earle and Stewart are on everyone's lips and the query of the moment is: "Who will be next?" The Prince of Wales, who arrived in Lon don yesterday from his sojourn in the South of France, to-day inspected the Grenadiers previous to their embarkation, for service in Egypt. After the review the Prince ad dressed the men briefly. He lauded their fine appearance and soldierly bearing and urged them to remember the gallant record of the regiment dnring the Crimean war. "I have no doubt," said the Prince, "that the regiment will acquit itself as creditably in the present emergency as then." The streets and public places through which the regiment marched were thronged with people anxious to witness its departure. From the housetops all along the route flags were flying, while the windows and stoops were filled with people. The excitement consequent upon the depar ture of troops for active service rarely, if ever, equalled that which prevailed to-day. All along the line of march the men were en thusiastic and wildly cheered, and shouts from the multitude for vengeance and the restoration of British prestige filled the air. The feelings of the people were intensified by the display cf the trophies captured by the late General Gordon during his campaign in China. The regiment embarked at Gravesend. Lord Wolseley telegraphs to the war office that on the 16th inst. General Buller reached Abu Klea. Here the rapidly increasing num bers of the Mahdi's forces became so threat ening that they menaced the safe conduct of his column back to Korti. He was obliged to call a halt and when the messenger left with dispatches for General Wolseley Gene ral Buller expected an attack at any moment and his men were throwing up entrench ments as quickly as possible. Active military preparation both for horns and foreign service continues. The war of fice to-day issued an order calling out the militia for garrison duty to take the place of the regulars who have been sent abroad. All transfers from the army to the reserves have also been' ordered suspended. General .Lord Wolselev reports that Gene ral Buller's camp at Abu-Klea was attacked by a small advance force of Arabs, who kept up a persistent and remarkably accurate firing at long range all night. The sharp shooters apparently numbered about four hundred. Two British soldiers were killed and eleven wounded. The British replied to the fire, but did not attack the rebels during the night. General Buller constructed three new forts and otherwise strengthened his posi tion. tBy the messenger who brought this information General .Buller sends word to Wolseley that his position has become critical. He has information that countless hordes of Arabs are advancing with 1 Mahdi at their head. The news correspondents have all left the front with the exception of Colonel Burleigh of the London Telegraph and ifr. Charles Williams of the Central News. The latter. was slightly wounded in the leg during the sharpshooting above men tioned. nioner Destroyed in a Railroad Smash. Washington, Feb. 20.

A few mornings ago, as the story goes, the step brother, Robert McFadden, entered Annie's chamber and because she did not rise at his call beat her with a broom-handle until her arms and body were black with bruises. He then thrust her out of doors into the freez ing air. She was found by the neighbors and taken to the poorhouse. Both her feet are frozen and must be amputated. Two of her toes have dropped off. McFadden was arrested, examined and committed to jail until the sitting of the April term of court. A DISASTROUS RUN A WAT. Two Persons Killed and Three Fatal ly Injured. Muncy Valley, Pa., Feb. 20. A terrible accident occurred about eight miles north of this place last night by which two persons were killed and three others fatally injured. Joseph Harberacker, aged forty years, his wife Hannah, aged thirty-eight, and three children named Mary, Henry and. William, aged respectively fifteen, twelve and eight, went in a large two horse wood sleigh to visit some neighbors. On the way home about 10 o'clock the horses ran away, the sleigh was upset and its occupants dragged nearly five hundred feet, when the horses fell. Parties in sleighs coming in the oppo site direction seeing the accident stopped and rendered assistance. It was discovered that the father's neck was broken and both of Henry's legs had been cut off by a runner of the sleigh. He died in a few minutes. Mrs. Harberacker was fatally injured and the children Mary and Willie were also badly hurt about their bodies and heads. The Failures of the Week. - New York, Feb. 20. There were 254 fail ures in the United States reported to Brad- street's dnring the week against 273 in the preceding week and 218, 204 and 135 In the corresponding weeks of 1884, 1883 and 1882 respectively. 48th Congress Second Session. Washington, Feb. 20. Senate.- After some talk about to-mor row's ceremonies the chair laid before the Senate the unfinished business in the morn ing hour the bill to quit title of settlers on the Des Moines river lands in the State of Iowa. Mr. Lapham took the floor and was still talking when the hour of 1 o'clock ar rived and the chair laid before the Senate the next special order the Galveston improve ment bill. Mr. Morrill moved to take up in preference the bill for the retirement of the trade dol lar with the Senate committee's amendments thereto, which after some debate was agreed to. The vote had hardly been announced when Mr. Hale moved to take up the agricultural appropriation bill, and the Senate by a viva voce vote agreed to that motion, thereby remanding the trade dollar bill back to the calendar. The agri cultural appropriation bill was read and dis cussed section by section and as reported by the Senate Committee on Appropriations was adopted with only one amendment increas ing the appropriation tor experiments in making sugar out of sorphum from $20,000 to 50,000. j. he chair again laid before the Senate the special order with regard to Galveston har bor improvements. Mr. Plumb asked unanimous consent to take up the postoffice appropriation bill, and the mil was taken up by unanimous consent and discussed. ThejHouse provisions mak ing a two cent stamp carry a letter weighing an ounce instead of one-half ounce as at pres ent, and reducing second class postage to one cent a pound, were among the provisions which the Senate committee had stricken out under the Senate rule prohibiting the con sideration of general legislation in an appro priation bill. The question was hrst tiken on agreeing to the committee's amendment in striking out the provision increasing the weight of second class letter postage. Mr. Edmunds protested against it as general legislation, and the Senate by a vote of 33 to 18 refused to agree to the recommendation of the commit tee to strike out the legislative section in re gard to letter postage. At this point Mr. (Jonger became anxious for an executive session, and the Senate re fusing, he demanded the ayes and nays on alternate motions to adjourn and to go " into executive session until 6 o'clock, when the Senate yielded, went into executive session and at 6:20 adjourned until 1 p. na. to-morrow. The action of the Senate clears the way for the introduction into the bill of the mail subsidy clause which the House struck put and which is before the benate as an amend ment to the bill duly reported by the Com mittee on Postomces and Post Roads. House The House met at 10 a. m. in con tinuation ot Thursday's session and at once went into committee on the river and har bor bill. Various amendments to the Missis sippi river clause at variance with the gener al plan of the bill were offered and voted down, finally, to get the bill into the House, the friends of the measure permitted the en tire clause to be stricken out of the bill, there by cutting off amendment. The clause re lating to the Hennepin canal was at last reached for the second time. On this certain points of order had been madojand the decision of the chair reserved. The chair (Mr. Hammond of Georgia) then read an elaborate decision overruling the points that it was not germane ana that it was new legislation, but sustained the point that the proposition should have been consiueiea by the committee on Rail ways and Canals, and that the paragraph must go out. . Mr. Henderson, of Illinois appealed from the decision of the chair. .fending action on tne appeal the com mittee rose and at 11:59 the House ad journed and was at once called to order tor the session of Friday. Mr. Burnes, from the conference committee on the consular and diplomatic bill, submit ted a report which was adopted. Mr. Wolf ord called up the motion to recon sider the vote by which the House refused to pass the bill granting a pension of $50 per month te the widow ot Major Thornburgh, killed at the Ute massacre. The bill was xne next Dm was tne benate bill to in crease the pension of the widow of Com mander Craven from $30 to $50 per month. which came up as the unfinished business of last Friday; rejected. Further private business was set aside. Mr. Jtsingnam, trom tne Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads, reported a reso lution calling on the Postmaster General for information concerning the amendment of the contract of Kellogg & Co. of Springfield, Mass., for official envelopes; adopted. In the hour under the new rule Mr. Spoon er, of Rhode Islaud, called up a bill for the transfer of ground to the city of Providence for highway purposes and it was passed. Mr. Ermentrout, of Pennsylvania, secour- ed the passage of a bill for a public building at .Heading to cost $u,uuu; Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, for the completion of the public build ing at Council Bluffs, $100,000; and Mr. Goff, of West Virginia, a $50,000 building at tjiaricsourg, w. va. Mr. Willis asked the passage of the bill extending the limit for the public building at Louisville from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and it was passed. me House tnen went into committee on the naval appropriation bill. The second section was reached. On this the deferred four hours' general debate was opened by Mr. Keifer, of Ohio, in opposition to the plans proposed by the bill for strengthening the navy. Mr. Keifer argued that it was better to go on with well considered plans al ready possessed bv tne government than to invite plans for the geniuses sometimes called cranks of the country and waste valu able time and delay the building of the navy. Mr. Long, of Massachusetts, next took the floor, but yielded to a motion to that end and at 5 p. m. the House took a recess until 7 p.m. At the evening session f i irf v-ni n a nensinn bills were passed, which cleared the calendar of cases upon which the committee had made favorable reports. The Bouse at 9 p. in. ad journed. An Imbecile's Damaging Testimony, Philadelphia, Feb. 20.

From the fact that certain dispatches for the British government were defaced it is supposed by the authorities that the bag was opened by Fenians. THE NEXT CARINET. Secretary Prince Urges the Claims of New England While the President Elect Quietly Listens. Albany, Feb. 20. Hon. Frederick O. Prince of Boston, "Mass., secretary of the National Democratic committee, called on President-elect Cleveland to-day. He urges that the New England States should have a representative in the new Cabinet. The prospect for the Democratic party was flat tering, there was a large independent vote in all these States besides those who had acted with the Democracy at the last election and this could be strengthened. He mentioned the name of John Quincy Adams as the proper person to be selected and urged his appointment. If the President thought bet ter to select some other man he would be satisfied with William Endicott. who was also a representative man and who had al ready been named to the President by Senator Robb. Hon. P. A. Collins would also be satisfactory. Mr. Cleveland listened witn polite attention, but gave no assurance as to the action he would take in the matter. Later in the day Colonel Jordan of Eagle wood, N. J., called and it is understood fa vored the choice of General George B. Mc Clellan. Mr. Prince also thought General McClellan and Thurman should be in the Cabinet. Besides those mentioned there have been numerous applications for other positions. Kev. J. H. Smith, an eloquent colored minister of Illinois, who has been a prominent Republican and was alternate de legate to the Umcago Republican convention. has applied for the position of minister to Liberia. Mr. Smith left the Republican party on the nomination of Mr. Blaine and supported Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Bradley, also a prominent colored orator of Blooming dale, Bl., has applied for the position of re corder of deeds at Washington. He is said to be well fitted, for the place and to have been a Democrat. He stumped for Cleve land. Mr. Cleveland is still busy on his in augural, but has made little progress. !He, however, is a quick writer when he gets fairly at work and would soon have his address finished, but for the calls of visiting statesmen. It is now said the Cabinet will not be fully decided upon before March 1 , but the fact that Mr. Bayard will be Secretary of State, Mr. Garland Attorney General and Mr. Thurman Secretary of the Interior is con sidered all but settled. Will Vilas Get A Placet Washington, Feb. 20. Senator Cameron, of Wisconsin, said to day: "I firmly believe that Mr. Vilas of my State will surely get a Cabinet position. My information and in fact my authority is Senator Garland, who told me that he was certain that Mr. Cleve land will appoint him. It is conceded that Mr. Garland will get the Attorney tieneral- ship and he knows what is sroing on inside at Albany as well as anyone m Washington. Therefore I predict that Mr. Vilas will be a member of the new Cabinet." A SLEEPER OFF THE TRACK. Two Men Killed and Three Others In jured. Indianapolis, Feb. 20. Information has been received that a sleeper on the Ohio and Mississippi east bound tram this morning went over the Mucatatuck bridge half a mile above North Vernon, Ind. The sleeper de railed was one for New York and contained only five persons, three passengers, the con ductor and the porter. E. P. Eldridge of Jefferson, Texas, was instantly killed. The porter, Peter Carroll of Baltimore, died short ly alter being hurt. The other two passe' gers and the conductor escaped with slight injuries. BIG LOSSES BY FIRE. A Safe Factory Burned Down In Ne York. New York, Feb. 20. At 2:30 o'clock this morning flames were discovered in the rear of the second floor in the central portion of Marvin's safe factory on West Thirty-seventh street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues. There were three huge elevator shafts in the front building and through them the flames spread with lightning rapidity. In less than half an hour the whole building was ablaze. The occupants of the tenement houses ad joining the building were roused from sleep and forced to vacate their homes. At 2:30 o'c'ock several hundred of the massive safes fell through the upper floor with a tremen dous crash, carrying down the other floors; then the front and back walls fell in. The bnildinn was completely destroyed. The loss on stock is $75,000, on machinery $70, 000 and on the building 125,000. Twohun- dred and fifty men lose employment. A Corpse Burned To a Crisp. Montreal. Feb. 20. This morning fire broke out in a boarding house on St. Joseph street. It appears that the piistress of the house had died two days ago and the body was laid out. The fire was caused by dra perles around the bed catching fire from lighted candle placed near it. The flames spread so rapidly that passage was cut off from the third story of the building where fifteen boarders slept. One of them became so excited that he jumped from the window, breaking his legs. The rest were saved by ladders. A servant was badly burned about the feet and legs. The body of the dead woman was burned to a crisp. An Orphan Asylum on Fire. Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 20. St. Nicholas Orphan asylum, a Catholic institution located on Mount Oliver on the south side of Pitts burg, was discovered to be on fire at noon to day. Owing to the almost inaccessible loca tion of the building and frozen fire plugs the department were greatly delayed in getting to work and t he fire raged furiously until 2 o'clock, at which time it was under control. The children, some fifty in number, were all safely removed, but one of the sisters of mercy is reported missing. The excitement was intense and a' most resulted in a panic in the school rooms. The loss is estimated at about $7,000. A RECEPTION TO EVARTS. Toe Yale Alumni of New York Ban- q.uet the New Senator. New York, Feb. 20. At the regular monthly meeting of the Yale alumni at the University club this evening a reception was extended to Hon. William M. Evarts. Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, president of the alumni association, presented the guests to Mr. Evarts. Among them were Hon. Edwards Pierre pont, William Lee Cushing of New Haven, Prof. Lyman of Yale, Elizur Wright, Senator Pardee of Connecticut, Dr. Clapp of New York, Hon. Bray ton Ives and Mr. Stearns Chittenden. At 11 o'clock luncheon was served, after which Mr. Depew spoke to the health of Mr. Evarts. Referring humorously to those of the Yale alumni who were mugwumps. Mr. Depew said that Yale's generous rule to ward her sons was to be responsible for none of their errors, but to be credited with all their successes. In his response Mr. Evarts said he believed he was the first Yale man to represent . the State of New York in the United States Senate. How much of his recent promotion was to be credited to his good luck and how much to over-confident expectations of friends it was not for him to say, bnt he could not conceive a greater responsibility than had now fallen upon him. Mr. Evarts went on to trace the numerical prominence of New England and Yale men in representative bodies of the present and past. He counselled all young men to remember that there were as good fish in the sea as had been caught. Let no one relax his endeavors, stifle his energies, nor conceal his ambitions for there were fields yet untraversed. He -closed by sug gesting that six years hence he would take great pleasure in advocating the president of the alumni (Mr. Depew) as his successor. Among the other speakers of the evening was Hon. Edwards Pierrepont. A SENSATION AT OTTAWA. A Row In The House Of Commons In Which a Member Assaults An Editor. Ottawa, Feb. 20. Among the prisoners who will figure at the police court to-morrow morning will appear a member of the Cana dian Parliament for assaulting a newspaper editor in the lobbies of thp House of Com mons this afternoon. For several months past Landry, the member of Parliament in question, who is also the editor of Le Nove list of Quebec, and Charles L'Angelier, edi tor of L' Electeur of the same city, have been making personal attacks in their journals on the character of each other's family. This afternoon during a discussion in the House of Commons Landry left his seat and enter sing the lobby in the rear of the Speaker' chair he met L'Angelier, who had just ar rived from Quebec. A few words passed in regard tfl a certain article which was published m L Eleoteur whioh reflected on the character of Landry as well as referring to his wife. L'Angelier admitted having written the article, at which point Landry struck him with a cowhide whip. The attack was followed up until Mackenzie, minister of customs, and Chari- leau, Secretary of State, rushed from their seats m the House to quell the row, Truedell, chief of the Quebec harbor police, who is a friend of Landry, - stood by urging tne latter on, calling upon those pres ent not to interfere as L'Angelier, who is a much more powerful man than Landry, de served all he was getting. The sergeant-at-arms was then sent for by the minister of customs. The sergeant-at-arms dispersed the crowd of members, senators and spectators who had assembled to see the fun. L'Angelier states that his reason for not resenting the attack was that had he done so or had he struck Landry, a member of Parliament, within the precincts of the House he could have been arrested and held in custody, according to the old English practice, until Parliament is prorogued. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police magistrate, and a warrant is now out for Landry's arrest. While L'Angelier is a large man, it is stated that his opponent under any circumstances would be too much for him, although those who witnessed the affray describe it as lndij crous. Social Problems. The discussion of the above subject by the Rev. Newman Smyth will be concluded at the Center church to-morrow morning. A full account will be published in our Monday's issue.

A Great Victory A Terrible Case of Scrofula Cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla " In the winter of 1879 I was attacked with Scrofula In one of the most aggravating forms. At one time I had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around my neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost Intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was Induced to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. And now, after' having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and -the abscesses have all . disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily hecomini ' smaller by degrees, and beautifully less.' T do not know what it may have done for others, but I do know that in my case, Hood's Sarsaparilla has proved an effective speclfiq Indeed. As an evidence of niv gratitude I send these facts unsolicited, arid I am ready to verify the authenticity of this cure, by personal correspondence with any one who doubts it." Chables A.
