General Gordon,s Proclamation.

LONDON, Feb. 18.--Mr Gladstone, in replying
to an inquiry by Sir Stafford Northcote, regard
ing Gen Gordon's action, said the appointment
of the Mahdi as Sultan Of KissoH, and the re-
mission of taxes, were within Gordon's powers.
The true meaning of the order regarding slavery
could not be understood from the telegraphic
summary. The government preferred to await
the receipt of the full text of the original order.
Mr.. Gladstone confirmed the reported submits
sion of the Khan of Merry to Russia.
The Times discussing Gen. Gordon's procla-
nation, says: "Gen. Gordon is well aware that
steps are being taken in lower Egypt to dis
courage slavery. He knows, too, that England's
guarantee of the Red sea port cuts off means of
exit by which slaves have been disposed Of to
other countries. while he believes his own work
in the Congo country will effectually check the
inflow of slaves. To- view of these facts, the
clause of Cen Gordon's proclamation removing
all restrictions upon the slave trade assumes the
character of little practical significance"
The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
states that Gen. Gordon's proclamation allowing
the restoration Of the slave trade in the Soudan
WAS not exactly the same as published. Gen.
Gordon would make arrangement which
would operate in the interest of the slave trade.

All About Mrs. Brownrigg.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Jou rual:
A correspondent of the Journal at Dublin,
Ind, says he is unable to find, in any novel or
other book, any allusion to the Mrs. Brownrigg'
whose cruelty to her apprentices is used by
Macaulay to point his account of the abuse of
Princess Wilhelminia. Mrs. Elizabeth Brown
rigg was not fictitious character, which may
probably be the reason the correspondent found
no mention of her in a novel. She was the wife
of house painter in Fleet street, London, and
the mother of sixteen children. To help support
so large a family she practiced as midwife, and
took apprentice girls from St Dunstan's parish
she used with such Internal cruelty that one of
them, Mary Clifford, died soon after she was
rescued, and in 1867 Mrs. Brownrigg. her hus
band and son, were all tried for the murder at
the Old Bailey. She was convicted on Saturday
and hung the next Monday. Three female APP
prentices, of fifteen or thereabouts, were the vic
Tins of her abuse. One made her escape by
stealth. one was rescued by the authorities and
recovered, and the other was rescued but died.

Many mills flooded out started up last week and
the balance will be running in a few days. All

Of the strike. The river coal mines, which have
been closed nearly all winter owing to the de-
preston in trade, resumed to-day where no at

night and the mines are shut down.

facturers' and blowers committees was held to-
day for the purpose of settling existing differ

Assistance.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW ALBANY, Feb. 18.-At New Albany the
damage will probably be two or three times
greater than last year. The suffering is on the
increase hourly, and it has been necessary to
enlarge the relief measures. Hon. w. c. De-
PAW has been elected president of the commit
tee; Hon. Jesse j. Brown, president of the First
National Bank, treasurer; Captain JOINT Peters,
of the Daily Ledger, secretary. They will ask
fAe generous people of the country to help the
sufferers here as they may find it in their hearts
to do. The generous citizens here have been
struggling nobly and literally with the situation.
They have been reluctant to call for help, but
the suffering is SO great they will ask generous
people to assist them through the emergency.
The situation at JefTersonville is not bettered
even by the fall in the water There
is a good deal of help coming in, however, and
the sufferers are well provided for. The river
has fallen here about three feet. At z o'clock
this morning it reached the food mark of 1888
Governor Porter and the members of the In
dianapos Board Of Trade relief committee with
representatives of the Indianapolis press, and
Bruce Carr Grand Master of the Masonic Fra
ternity of Indiana, arrived here at LILO a. NJ on
the rehefsteamer City of Frankfort. Their coming
was unannounced, and our local relief committee
did not see them. They left no aid for New Al
bany. The boat left at II NJ, and will go down
as far as the Illinois line. She was heavily
freighted with relief stores.
The Charlottesville relief committee on Satur-
day night forwarded a carload of provision and

merged, in the low grounds, and fearful damage
has been done The government relief boat had
given the people temporary relief. Enterprise
is nearly out of sight under the flood. and the
town badly wrecked. The government
relief boat had afforded aid for
three or four days. All that portion
of Rockport under the hill is inundated and
many houses have been carried away. Grand
View, above Rockport, has been flooded for over
a week, and all business is suspended; the
damage is very great A number of houses have
foated off, and a large number are off their
foundations Here, too, the government boat
has carried temporary relief. Rome, Ind, is
entirely inundated, and the losses are heavy
Troy, smart manufacturing town, is nearly
entirely flooded and the government boat had
to leave aid. A number of the factories are
ruined. Tell City, a few miles from Troy
suffers heavily in manufactures, resi-
dences, and business houses Cannelton,
few miles distant, is suffering
terribly, and there are scenes of
wreck all over the town. Cloverport and

and have been aided by the government boats

seat of Crawford county, is nearly ruined
There are so many houses off their foundations,
and so many have foated away, that the people
will not be able to repair the damage for some
years, as the sufferers are generally poor men
and widows. Rock Haven, Ky, is under water,
and tobacco barn and contents valued at
500 900, were swept away. West Point, KY,
suffers heavily Mauckport, Ind, has but five
houses out of water, and there is almost total
wreck of the buildings. New Amsterdam,
der the hill, is almost total rum There is not
a wooden fence left on the first bottoms be
tween New Albany and Evansville, and but few
barns and out houses Many, very many, of the
farmers have had their residences swept away.
Taking the towns and farms along the river on
both sides, between Henderson, KY, and New
Albany, and million and a half of dollars
would not repair the damages; The scenes of

AURORA, Ind, Feb. l8-At meeting of the
citizens of this place, to-day in the M. E. Church.
a committee was appointed to prepare an address
to the public in behalf of those whose homes
have been destroyed by the flood. Tonight the
committee met and issued the following address,
which speaks for itself:
To Generous Public: Aurora has been seri
ously damaged by the food. Many dwellings
have been swept away, and many others have
been carried from their foundations, overturned,
and wrecked. These dwellings are mostly owned
by poor people, their homes being all they pos
sessed, and they are unable of themselves to re-
build or replace them. While our own citizens
and others are most generously furnishing these
homeless people with food and clothing, we feel
it to be our duty to call upon the public at large
to render them pecun1ary assistance in restoring
their homes. All contributions RENTED to E.
Fl. Davis, cashier of the First National Bank, of
Aurora. Ind, will be properly expended and ac-
counted for The public cannot do more char
liable act than to aid in this work.

ATTACKING THE GOVERNMENT.
Debate in the British Commons on the Mo-
ton of Censure.

Debate in the British Commons on the Mo-
ton of Censure.
LONDON Feb. 1S.-The Commons this even
ing, resumed the debate on Sir Stafford North
cote's motion censuring the government. W. T.
Marriott, Liberal member for Brighton, made
a violent attack upon the government. accusing
it of vacillation and inconsistency He declared
the government had lost the confidence of the
country and the Liberal party. The truth of
this he would test by voting for Northeote's mo-
ton, and then resigning his seat and then offer
ing himself for reelection. Marriotts speech
was received with loud cheers by the Opposition.
The debate adjourned.
The Irish Parliamentary party met this even
ing Parnell was absent Sexton moved to vote
against the government in the division to-mor-
row Carried The minority will abstain from
voting. The detection of the Irish vote increases
the dsaffection and the disruption of the Liberal
party and will, it is estimated, reduce the gov
ernment majority to twenty. The Conservative
whips are beginning to hope for the governments
defeat
