Criticizing the Policy of England In
Egypt.
LONDON, Feb. 14.-At a banquet at st.
Stephens's club last night IN connection with
the unwilling OF bust Of the late Earl Bea-
csnsfield the Marquis Of Salisbury said that
in spite OF the radical threats of abolshing
the House Of Lords the country would always
appreciate that body while it continued to
give sincere, impartial, and independent
opinions and did not remain simply to
register the DEGREES of the caucus ridden
Commons. He paid eloquent tribute to the
garrison of Sinkat declaring that after having
eaten the last bit of garbage those men had
been massacred because they had trusted to
England too much.
Sir Stafford Northcote said IL appeared
that Great Britain was on the eve of second
Egyptian war. He hoped the voice of the
country would support the outspoken
verdict of tho House Of Lords.
The sole aim Of the government
seemed to be to shirk the responsibility, and
the time had arrived to stir up constituencies
and demand their verdict The Post says
the Parnelltes are much gratified at the
demonstration against Michael Davitt In
Newcastle-on-Tync, because he disclosed
the fact that the signature of his name to the
mo rent manifesto was forgery and be-
cause he ALWAYS condemned a manifesto

The River suli Rising at Cincinnati.

In some cases it has been found necessary
TO remove families from their homes. The
relief committee in charge of this work had
to act arbitrarily in some cases and compel
people to leave their houses. Ia two or
three instances where houses are now off
their foundations or washed away, there
undoubtedly would have been loss of life if
the people had been left to act in their own
behalf, so tenaciously do they cling to their
little all of property. The Masons have
