0 n th« Government—Gladstone
Announce® an Arsietment
with Rusela—Notes.
London, May lO.-The Conservative pa-
pen do not wish a vote adverse to the gov
ernment on the war credit, but consider
that the government ought to give the op-
poeitlon more information as to the present
ittte of affairs. All telegrams from Iodla
deny the reported resignation of Lord
Dufferin.
The military parly in Russia continues
tospraad reports to the discredit of Eng
ird. The latest is that the Russians cap
tured at Peojdeh so*«e of 8lr »>ter Lums-
den’s diapatchea, proving that ho encour.
•erd the Afghans to invite a collision with
. Russia is; that copies of these docu
ment* wereeeat to tne Eng-iaU cabins',
aud that therefore Lumsden was ) ensiled.
A St. Petersburg advices through Viennn
report that quantities of gunpowder tnd
dynamite are being stored at several coal
iDKitstinns and work continues on the
Cronstadt fleet. 0 testa telegrams state
that the troops whl h passed there, ju«t
mobilized from tne reserves, were a horde
of unkempt peas ints, ignorant of the use
of r.fles, which some of them were hardly
able to carry.
The Huogarian papers report that Peter,
loo of the late Prince Karngeorzeoitx, hai
gone to 8t. Petersburg to endeavor to ob
tain Russian support, should he Issue a
msoilejto asserting his right to the throve
ofbervia. He also hopes that his father-
in-law, the Prince of Montenegro, will situ-
port bis claim by force of arms. The Vi
enna ne«»papers are agreed that the
Prire. a* a possible tool of Russia, must
becrose'y watched. The |Be)gr*de official
pap*r denies his hereditary right to the
title of prince.
in PARLIAMENT.
Lord Hartiogton, secretary for war,
stated In the House of Commons this
afternoon, that the decision reached by
the government, In regatd to the Soudan,
practically involved the abandonment ol
the advance to Kbaitoum.
Earl Granville, foreign secretary, in the
House of Lords this afternoon, replying ro
an interrogatory, said that, the govern
ment was unable to make any statement
at present about their intentions respect
ing the Hondan, or in regard to the ad
vance to Khartoum. Lord Granville said a
conference bad been held between himself,
the Earl of Kimnerly, secretary for India,
and Baron lLS «al. the Russian minister
at London, which resulted in an agreement
perfectly satisfacory to England, Russia
and the Earl of Dailerin.
During tne ditcusaion in the House of
Lords to-day concerning the government's
policy with Russia,
A DRAMATIC AND EXCITING INCIDENT

He secured occasion for making bis attack
by moving consideration of the amend
ment given notice of by Sir Stafford North-
cote last Friday. This amendment moved
on the second reading of the' consolidated
fond bill a fresh vote of censure against
tbe government and concludes in tho fol
lowing words:
‘ The Huns*, having shown their readi
ness to vote supplies, refuse their assent
until informed of the present policy and
purposes for which the money to be
granted ii to be applied."
Lord Hamilton, in moving tbe consider
ation of this amendment, aaid:
‘•The R'ght Honorable tbe Marquis of
Hartiogton, secretary of state for war,
has ju t made the most extraordinary
statement which ever fell from tbe lips of
a minister in this house. After announc
ing tusir intention of taking ;Khanoum,
•he government have annouuced to-night
tbe abandoning of the Soudan, after having
murdered six or ten thousand men. Yet
f overnment expect this house to acquiesce
a their policy. Tho greatest danger to
the couutry is the incapacity of
•he men !n office. [Conservatl*e
cheers.] Tbe government nave surreu-
dered ever? one of the questions between
them tnd Russia. Tbe prime minister has
altogether abandoned the attitude by
which tbe government obtained a vote of
credit. The great objection i have to the
Premier’s policy is that from the very day
he assnmed office until now he has shown
readiness to sacrifice anybody and every
thing to save himself.” [Cries of "Hear!
hear!"
Mr. Chamberlain said that the Hou'e
would be unable to adequately judge the
conduct of the government until all pa
pers in *he case were presented to it. He
contended that the objects of Sir
Peter Lura»den had lo a great entent
been achieved. He was glad
find Lord George Hamtl-
advocating the position
that faith should not be placed in Russia,
and that the o-.ily course was to go to war.
When the elections came on the govern
ment would remind the opposition of their
polioy, and it would then be seen whether
or not the country was tired of peace.

socially. His troubles commenced with
the failure of Billiogs & Co., of
New York, which waa soon followed ny
tbo failure of Roberts & Co., and the Bank

Tbia latter failure, it is thought, was
enured by advances being made by ibe
