GLADsToNE's CLOSE SHAVE.
Comments of the Press on the Debate
in the House of Commons.


in the House of Commons.
LONDON, May 14.-The Daily Ne1os, in
a leader discussing the debate in the
House of Commons last night, says:
''Lord Randolph Churchill assumed more
the tone OF leader than Sir Stafford
Northcote."
The Daily Telegraph, discussing the
situation in the House of Commons, saws:
For the first time on record, Premier
GiadstOne'S OratOry fell dead upon the
House and public, and failed to produce
even the semblance of a conviction. The
enchanted waved his wand in vain. 1t
is to be hoped that Premier Gladstone is
now convinced that there are certain OBJ
jects of English belief, as reverence, honor
and duty, which are so firmly fixed in the
national mind that even the potent spells
of his elOquence cannot affect Them"
The Pau Mall Gazette prOnOunces Lord
Randolph ChurchilPs speech last night
the best in the debate, and says that it
enhances his claim to craftsmanship.
-AdVices from Suakin give the following
particulars concerning the attack of Os-

Tamanieb: Osman and his men killed 81
of the friendly Arabs, took 40 women
prisoners and captured many cattles Of
the rebels only were killed. The tribes
attacked are able to muster 5000 men.
They are determined to avenge the death
of their comrades to recover their women.

Pasha, the Prime Minister, as inadvisable.
Egypt has not proposed another repre-
sentative.

Disastrous Effects of the Great Crash on
the Pittsburg Exchange.
PITTsBURG, May 14.-Rumors of heavy
failures in New York, and the report that
the Stock Exchange had closed its doors,
has completely demOrallzed the oil trade
here, and intense excitement has rre-
vailed at the Petroleum Exchange. The
market opened feverish this morning at
81, and advanced to 91L, when
there was a general stampede,
caused by the reported Wall street
disasters. Immense blocks of certificates
were dumped on the market, and in few
minutes prices dropped to 81. Heavy
buying by the shorts had the effect of par
tally restoring confidence at this iuncture
and prices rallied slightly, but telegrams
announcing the failure Of the MetropoIi-
tan Bank quickly destroyed the good
effects of the short purchases. Trade be-
came panic stricken and the market de-
clined rapidly to s1L and closed at noon
at o1H, with the feeling weak and un-
settled. So far no failures have been re-
ported here

An Organized Effort to be Made to Sc
cure the Repeal of Tobacco Taxes.
Boston, May IA Springfield dis
patch says that the officers of the New
England Tobacco Growers Association
have iuaugurated an important move
ment to secure the repeal of all internal
revenue taxes on tobacco. Growers,
packers and the trade generally through
out the country are to unite in
favor of an abolition of the taxes.
Assurances of hearty cooperation have
been received from the New York
Tobacco Leaf Board of Trade. A move
ment has been started for effecting
a coalition with Southern and Western
politicians and tobacco men. A meeting
to complete arrangements is to be held at
Hartford Saturday. The tobacco men
say that to abolish the tobacco tax would
discharge 1,500 to 1900 government
employees and save $4,000. 600 ex-
penses and annually $4,000, 900
of revenue. They propose to
force their demands with such organized
determination that neither party in Con-
gress will dare refuse it for fear of losing
the votes of the tobacco industry in the
Presidential election. The New England
growers have an association of over !, 600
members and ample funds. They feel
embOldened by their success in securing
protection against Sumatra tobacco,
which has saved American growers over
$1,000 600 during the past year.
