To cover this he would take loans for all pro- ductive works in India, and reduce the draw ings by e100,O00 sterling if necessary. This loan might be made in India. The Marquis added that be would not make any statement regarding imperial contribution to the ex- penses of the war in Afghanistan until he knew what the total cost would be. His Lordship's statement was received with some thing like consternation, and it is believed a strong effort will be made by the radical mem bers of the House to induce the Government to withdraw as rapidly as possible all its for ces from Afghanistan, and to relieve the al- ready impoverished population of India from any further taxation to defray the expenses of a war in which they have no interest, and which was brought about by ill-advised policy on the part of the Beaconsfeld administra- tion. These members of the House, who constitute & not inconsiderable faction, will urge that the whole expense of the disastrous campaign shall be defrayed by the constitu- ents of the administration which broughtithls calamity upon the country.

The Secretary took the question of granting court martial under advisement, but at once ordered that Whitaker be granted an indefinite furlough. From what the Secretary said to Professor Greener the latter infers that court martial will be ordered. The granting of an indef- nite furlough to Whitaker, however, dispo- final action may not be had in the case until the meeting of Congress in December.

 Females Suddenly Struck with Insanity.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-No later information has been received regarding the mysterious case of Mrs. Sarah W. Thompson and her daughters Annie and Minnie, of this city, who, after few weeks sojourn In the Adj rondack mountains, are reported to have suddenly become insane while en route home and were sent to the hospital in Albany. The older daughter, now in this city, scouts the idea of their being crazy, and says such an idea is utterly absurd and ridiculous. She refuses to give any facts about the family history or their affairs.
 ALBANY, Aug IT.
 Mrs Thompson and two daughters, who were detained here on account Of symptoms of insanity, remained in the station house last night, and this morning they continued to act wild whenever anyone approached them. They were watched for half an hour through faint light and appeared to act ra- tional, but when the door was opened they resumed their dancing and gestures. Mrs. Thompson, when questioned, said she had been left a widow seven years ago, at which time she had property. Since then she had lost her property, but still had money left to live on. As to her daughters she was reticent. They were sent to New York on the 2:40 train this afternoon. To add to the mystery surrounding them the following telegram was received here this af- ternoon and opened by Superintendent Raf- ferty:
 NEW YORK, Aug. IT. To Minnie E. Thompson, at some hospital
