THE LAsKER INCIDENT.
The London Times Comes to the Support of
Minister Sargent.


LONDON, Feb. 22-The Tmes's article upon
the Lasker incident says: AT last Bismarck
has obtained opportunity to show his dislike
to the country which annually robs him of
thousands of conscripts, Congress was ill-ad-
vlsed in sending the resolution to Bismarck,
who was ungracious in returning it. Grant
ing, however, that Bismarck was right in
refusing to praise Herr Lasker his organs are
wrong in reviling Minister Sargent. The latter
was obeying his government, and this is no
reason why he should be held up, in defiance of
international courtesy and almost international
law, to the contempt of the Ger
man people 1t is said that Sargent is hardly
careful enough of forms and ceremonies
to please court so formal as Berlin but
worse move than to try and induce him to re
sign could hardly have been chosen al present,
when his resignation would still further strain
the relations OF the two countries which ought
to be on excellent terms
A Berlin dispatch says The Deutsch Tagos

Laskar resolutions repels the interference
of foreign legislature in the internal
affairs of Germany, and cliticises the

munitions. The military opinion at Suakim is
in favor of dealing blow at Osman Digma.
Ell Mahdi has sent letter to King John, of
Abyssinia, demanding his adherence to the

camp, feasted there and accepted presents and
returned to Tokar with an escort of a hundred
rebels, showing that surrender was decided
upon.
General Gordon explains that he is not en-

LIE at IOkar, 1SeSlegeu by FL ma1OIS
Forces, Surrenders.
LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Daily Telegraph re-
ports the surrender of the garrison at Tokar
The Times confirms this report. Two soldiers,
who have arrived at Suakim from Tokar, report
the rebels beseging the town kept up a constant
fire Of artillery and rifles. On Tuesday the gar
r1son recognized the necessity of comforting with
the rebels On Wednesday Yakoob and Mac
calvl Efendi, chief of police, with sergeant of
artillery, went out and conferred with the rebels
On returning they informed the garrison that
they must surrender their arms on Thursday
Many soldiers murmured at this, and large pro-
portion of them escaped during the night. Tokar
was surrendered Thursday, as had been ar
ranged.
The garrison at Nassala is reported to be 1500
strong, with sufficient supplies to last fort
night.
The greatest excitement prevails throughout
London and in Parliament at the news of the
surrender of Tokar. The ministers are only able
to confirm the special dispatches. 1t is not be-
ieved the rebels put the population to the sword
for it is understood the conditions of the sur
render provided that theirlives should be spared
Earl Granville has dispatch from the British
in the garrison of TOkar who had wives sur
rendered to Osman Digma. The remainder are
trying to reach Sualim.
General Graham, commander in chief of the
proposed Tokar relief expedition, announces by
telegraph his arrival at Suakim. He states that
no report of the actual surrender of Tokar has
yet been receivrd. Troops were being landed at
Trinkitat with utmost rapidity
Everything indicates that the Egyptian afticers
at Tokar preferred to surrender to the rebels
rather than the Christians. A Sou
danese lieutenant wished to fight
however, and tried to assemble the soldiers
but i'll vain. The revolt at Massowah is spread

Throne Rejected.
LONDON, Feb. 22-Parnels amendment con
demning the governments policy in Ireland, was
debated in the Commons this evening. ODon-
