Gladstone Defends His Policy.

LONDON, Feb. 12 In the House of Con- mons tonight Sir Stafford Northoote moved for a vote upon his amendment to the address in reply to the speech from the throne cen surfing the governments Egyptian policy. MT. Gladstone rose to reply to the speakers against the government. He defended his Egyptian policy, asserting that it was entirely consistent with England's previous course in regard to the Khedive's dominions. He again disavowed any wish or intention to assist the Khedive in conquering the Soudan- The possession of the Soudan, he argued, had not conferred any benefit upon Egypt, while it had cost her hundred thousand lives to maintain her supremacy in that country. He gave assurance that everything possible would be done to relieve the beleaguered garrisons and confirmed the statement that 8 force of English troops would speedily be pushed forward to Tokar. The debate was then adjourned.

The govern ment will now try to relieve the garrison at Tokar before similar fate befalls them. The infantry, cavalry, mounted guns and camels, which have been doing garrison duty at Suez, have been ordered to Suakim, where an ex- the relief of Tokar.
 It is now believed the messenger who ar- rived at Suakim on February 9th with the information that the garrison at Sinkat was still holding out, though subsisting on foli- age. and bearing an appeal for help, was an emissary of the Mahdi and was sent with the object of drawing portion of the troops from Suakim out from the protection of the gunboats to point where 8 large force of rebels would fall upon them and either cap ture or massacre them.
 Arrangements have been made for the i'm mediate despatch of three thousand troops to Suakim under Major General Sir Gerald Gresham, K c. B. who has been in com mand of the English garrison at Cairo. The expedition will proceed by rail to Suez, thence by transports to SuakIm.
 CAIRO, Feb. 12.-The commissary general of the English forces in Egypt, accompanied by officers of the Egyptian engineer corps, has started for Assiout to prepare suitable accommodations there for military stores and for reserve force of troops to be called up- on in case of disaster to General Wood at As- sonan.
 CAIRO, Feb. 12.-Six men and thirty women were taken prisoners by the rebels at Sinkat. In the absence of definite informa- ton the greatest fears are entertained as to the fate of the great majority of the refugees who had gathered there.
 CAIRO, Feb. 12.-General Gordon tele- graphs that he has deposed the governor of Khartoum and has appointed Colonel Coet- logan in his stead

Another Strike at Fall River.

FALL RIVER, Feb. 12.-The weaverss at the Crescent mill struck this noon. The Crescent has eight hundred looms employs two hundred weavers and makes fancy woven dress and bleachsd goods. The trouble was caused by dissatisfaction at the cut down and by the increase of wages at the King Phillip. They were paid off day in advance and held 8 meeting, voting to stay out till the concessions were made. The spinners held a rousing meeting to night. The general impression was that it would be advisable to extend the strike to other mills soon. Deputations were appointed to visit Boston, New York, Brooklyn, Troy, Newark, Trenton and other cities.

Anyone could understand what was meant by the legisla- ton of last year on this subject, but they were told that the Postmaster General did not understand it and therefore could not ex ecute the law. Ar IngaIls thought Congress had been trifed with and there vas no dis And some reason why it should pot be ex- eQqted.
 Messrs. BatIsr and Dawes called attention to the fact that claims agents were flooding
