General Wolseiey's Plans for the ENtcrm-
ination of the Fsstse Prophet.
LONDON, Dec. l6.-General Lord WOlseley
was to-day summoned to Windsor Castle.
and reached there early in the afternoon.
The Queen desired him to give expression to
his views upon the present situation in
Egypt, so far as il was affected by the opera
tiOnS of III Mehdi in the SOudan and might
render British intervention necessary. tits
understood that General Wolseley suggested
10 his royal listener that England was sO.rich
in resources in the East that she need not
depend upon the single exDedient OF helnin.-
the Khediye by lending him Indian troops;
in TACT, she could help him justa as well With
out the loan of a soldier. The Abvssinians
we're, perhaps, the most formidable of the
African races. They were at peace and
friendship with England, they would
warrant for war. and if England
would propose 10 the AbySini-
division of the Soudan uDon eoual
terms with Egypt, as a price for the total
destruction OF the False Prophet and ms in.
fiuence in that region. the task, in the Gen
erals opinion, would be Ieadily undertaken
and successfully accomplished. The Queen
was delighted with tie suggested PROPOSE
ton.
The difficulty OF deciding the same ques.
tion is much greater in the British Cabinet
than il is at Windsor Mr.. Gladstone ad-
heres 10 his poSitioB that British interests in
Egypt do not extend to the Soudan, and that

NEW YORK. Dec IL a comparison Of the
metho's resorfed to in the recent attempt
at blacknail on Rev. J. O. Bache and those
adopted in the case of Howard s. Ingersoll,
n brother of Robert G. 1ngersoll, in Deem
ber 1880, confirms the belief that both at
tempts We're made by the same parties. Mr..
Ingersoll who was then a manufacturer on
Barclay street. employed a woman by the
name of Helena MAY Freeman. She had
been in his office about a month when man
claiming that lac was engaged to be married
to her accused Mr. Ingersoll OF taking i'm
proper liberties The woman Endorsed every
word he said. Mr.. Ingersoll noticed that
the man had the peculiarly rough skin, light
hair, and blue eyes mentioned by Mr. Bache
in his description of the man who called on
him He drew from his pocket a scandalous
story, which he read to Mr.. Ingerson. and
threatened TO publish it in full in
daily newspaper unless he paid 500
hush money. The man was kicked into the
street. and the woman followed him. A
few days later 1ngcrsoll was assaulted on
Barclay street and red pepper thrown in his
eyes. The woman was arrested; tired, and
given one year in the Peniteutiary with
$3.50 fine. The man escaped. Mr. Ingersoll
brought suit for libel against the newspaper
publishing the story against him, which Is
still pending.
. Ghe woman's history is a remarkable one.
She is the illegitimate daughter of an En-
glish Earl by his chambermnid In England,
under the name OF Ellen May Stanley. she
got inte all sorts of tronble. She married a
man named Poe, robbed wine merchant OF
80 Geo, and fed 10 Yarmouth. While mar
red she got two men sentenced for attempted
felonious assault and when their time had
expired her husband made affidavit that she
had confessed to him that the prisoners were
innocent. Her career in this country has
been a no less notable one She has imposed
upon people in Brooklyn, Pittsburg, Geve-
land and Toronto IN more than one IN.
stance i'll this city the attempts she made,
with the aid of her male aeeomplices to Sc
cure hush money were successful. The
records at the Board Of Health show that she
has been married eight times in twelve years.
Two of tile men she was married 10 are still
living here.

The Presidents Request ignored.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Thursday last Sec
retary Frelinghuysen telegraphed TO Minis
ter Lowell. stating that the House of Repre-
sentatiYes had brought the case OF 0DOn-
nell to the Presidents notice in the hope
that the latter might secure q reasonable de
lay in the execution of his sentence and
ascertain whether the prisoner was an Amer.
icas citizen and whether there was
in the trial. In this telegram Lowell was
instructed as follows: "As before instructed,
you will consider 0'Donnelrs citizenship
established. There being in Great Britain
no judicial examination or an appeal of pro-
ctedings at a criminal trial, possible errors
can only be corrected through a new trial
or executive action upon the sentence
Therefore, this Government is anxious that
such careful examinations shall be given
the proceedings in this case as will discover
the error, should one have been committed.
You are therefore directed by the President
to request delay in the execution of the
sentence, ana that a careful examination of
the case be made by Her Maiesty's Govern
ment and that the prisoners counsel be per-
miited to present any alleged points OF er-
Tor."
Secretary Frelinghuysen is now in receipt
of telegram from Lowell, who states that
on the 18th lie received the above telegram
and Immediately communicated It's SUBJ
stance to Lo' Granville, who nowledged
its receipt and stated that il had been re-
ierred to the proper authorities Also, on
Saturday, the 10Th inst Lowell received
Lord Granyille's reply, in which the latter,
after referring to LOwelPs communication,
stated that the counsel for 0Donnell, hav-
ing submitted represen tations, he thought it
advisable on the prisoners behalf that those
representations and all other circumstances
in the case should be carefully examined
and considered in the manner usual in the
case of capital convictions, and Her Majes-
tvs Government found no grounds upon
which 1t could be justified in advising the
Crown to interfere liz the sentence of the law
or its eyeeution.

WASHINGTON. Dec. u. - Representative
Converse, of Ohio, stated 10 the Sentinel cor
respondent to-day that he proposed to work
with a vim for the passage OF his bill to re-
store the duty on wool, and believes he will
succeed. There are many other States be-

of the bill. Texas. Colorado and some of the
other Western and Southwestern States want
il passed. But this is bill that must be
passed, if atall, by sufficient Democrats from
those States TO give the Republicans a major

on wool, the North and West will, o. should
