The Conservatives Mnke a Bitter Attack 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 occurred.

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.

Tbe prime minister has altogether abandoned the attitude by which tbe government obtained a vote of credit.

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.
