nam gives Bennett, Democrat, for Congress
man-at-lsrge, 373 majority. Graham Is 8

PARLIAMENT.
AN IMPORTANT CONCESSION AS
TO CLOSURE.
The Debate Resumed-The Egvptian
Problem.

LONDON, November 14.-In the House of
Commons to-day Mr.. Gladstone made a
statement relative to Egypt. He said there
were now only $4,000 troops there, bat the
present state Of things was provisional. The
government had no idea OF allowing so
large a force to remain there long. The
next step would be to conclude g convention
relative to a temporary arrangement for the
security OF the country, including the
charge for the maintenance OF the troops.
Mr.. Gladstone said the convention fixing
the time OF occupation and payment
therefor by Egypt would be modelled on
that concluded with France after the battle
OF Waterloo. He stated that the convention
would be presented TO the House when con
cluded, bus he was unable to say that It
would be ready this session. Her Maiesty's
Government had not arrived at any d. cision
that 1t would be desirable to claim from
Egypt the expenses of the war as distin-
guished from the expenses Of occupation.
Sir Stafford NoTthcote protested against
the retieence Of the government. He said
ne would, on behalf of the opp 0sitiOn, take
aR early opportunity for discussing the
subject OF occupation and of the surrender
OF Arab Pasha TO the Egyptian authorities
Lord Randolph Churchill has placed ffty
new amendments to the proceeding rules
on paper.
Ia the House tonight the debate on the
second procedure resolution was resumed.
Mr.. Gladstone assented, though with con-
siderable misgivlng, he said, to an amend
ment, providing that a member may obtain
leave to move an adjournment during the
pendency of question, provided that forty
members rise In their places and favor such
motion. This is considerable of a conces-
sion on the part Of the government, which
originally demanded that no motion for ad-
jourDment should be put unless leave was
granted by majority of the House.
In the election to fill the seat in the House
OF Commons for Ennis, made vacant by the
retirement Of Mr.. Finnegan, Mr.. Kenney,
Parnellite, has been returned by vote Of
l30 against 50 for Mr.. Reeves, Liberal.

CHICAGO, November 14.-The Tolleton
Club, Of this city, composed of many infu-
ential and wealthy men, owns several
thousand acres of marsh land in Lake
county, Ind. They procured the passage of
stringent game laws, and so incurred the
enmity of the pot hunters in that section.
In retaliation the latter secured the passage
OF law making it misdemeanor to carry
out OF the State any game shot within its
boundaries. A few days ago a couple of
poachers were arrested and fined, and now
the poachers have retaliated by causing the
arrest of Judge Knickerbocker, of the
Probate Court, OF this city, and F. A. Howe,
President OF the club, and they have been
bound over for a hearing on the charge of
illegally exporting game from the State. A
general war between sportsmen and market
hunters Is looked forward to.

mending that party to observe a policy of
abstention in the event of a dissolution OF
the COrtes on the ground that the insincerity
of the government and their abuse OF au-
thority render the success of the Conserva-

organs, however, declare that the moment

adopted at the general elections. In the

tndispOsed to participate in the approaching
elections for the Councils General, although
this course OF action is not assuming the
