MIR. Defrecs DeGes senator Plumb.

WASHINGTON. January S.-John ID. De-
frees, Public Printer, is out tonight in an
open letter addressed to Senator Plumb.
An article was published here the other day
in which Plumb was made to say, upon
meeting Defrees in New York: What's
the matter, old man! You are not so affa-
BILE when l meet you in Washington. You
must want something. YOU'RE too late;
can't do anything for you" Mr.. Defrees,
having failed to get a satisfactory denial
from Senator Plumb, in his open letter
says: "You stand before all honorable men
seli-conyicted OF having falsely boastcd that
you had grossly insulted, without cause and
in manner becoming the lowest black
guard, man almost thirty years older than
yourself. | am very sure that those ac-
quainted with me will regard the paragraph
az a lie on its face, rs they know that do
not cringe to any one, and that such IN in
suit would have been resented by me on
the spot"

The Riot at Alexandria.

The disturbances commenced simutane-
o'lsly at three different points. The object
of the rioters, in great measure, appears to
have been pillage, in which Levantines, as
well as Arabs, participated. A regiment of
cavalry and a regiment of infantry have
been ordered to reinforce the garrison. The
British Admiralty have received dispatches
confirming the report Of the murder of the
engineer of the Superb. The fighting, ex-
cept the deliberate attack upon the consuls
when proceeding to the residence of the
governor, seems to have been confined to
Arabs and Levantines. No English resi-
dent is reported to havcbeen wounded. The
London Times correspondent at Cairo lays
the responsibility for the riots upon Arab
Pacha. Dervisch Pacha had summoned
him TO resign, and there seemed to be no
alternative but submission or defiance but
since the riots broke out Dervisch Pacha
has had to appeal to Arab Pacha. as COM
manding the only available force, to restore
order.
