LONDON, Feb. 6.-Later sdvices bring more par
tculars OF the disastrous defeat Of Baker Pacha.
The slaughter Of his forces continued all the way
back to Trinkitat. The Egyptians were panic
stricken and fell upon their knees but their appeals
for mercy were fruitless. The Arabs seized them
by the necks, thrust their spears into their backs
and savagely cut their threats.
The Englishmeu missing are Morice Bey, Surgeon
Leslie, Captains Forester and Walker and Lieu
tenants Carroll, Smith and Watkins. Ten other
foreign officers are missing The fugitives huddled
together the shore at Trinkitat and might easily
have been slaughtered. but the enemy gave over
the pursuit. The men embarked as quickly as pos
sible upon six transports which were lying there
and with Baker Pacha and Colonel Sartorius
arrived atmdnight at Suakim. Intense excitement
prevails in Suakim to-day. An attack of the enemy
is expected. The forts are occupied by English
marines. The French Agent has teegraphed for
man-of-war.
According to the laterreports giving details of the
fight near Tokar, the Egyptian cavalry threw away
their saddles and turned their horses loose eectng
their retreat foot in order that they might not
be sent back to fight again.

of thea Republicans, 3 Democrats and l Read
juster, 1t will probably receive the assent OF tho
Senate by vote Of 80 to 81. This Of course takes
into account the pair arranged by Mr..
Cameron, of Pennsylvania who voted
last year In favor Of the bill. The only Republic
cans who viii favor the measure besides Mr.. Came
ron are Messrs. Sewell and Hoar. Messrs. Mahono
and Riddleberger will probably abstain from vot-
ing while Mr. Sherman. who ddnot vote last year.
at the request it is believed, of General Sherman.
who is credited with saying that General Porter
had received enough of punishment, will record
himself as opposed to vindicating Por-
ter in this peculiar manner. There is
rumor that several Democratic Senators
who voted in favor of the bill last year will vote
against il this time for the purpose 1t Is SAID, or
securing the support of the soldier element IN the
West, which is represented as being united IN lts
opposition to the passage Of the bill. A prominens
Republican Senator to-day said that the vote wonld
be close and that il was by no means certain thae
tho bill would pass the Senate. Senator Logan
will be content to oppose the bill In one-days
speech this year, and not repeat his performance
Of last season. when he spoke for three days.

A DECISION IN FAVOR OF SKINNER.
SINGULAR ACTION OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE on
ELECTIONS.

SINGULAR ACllON Of InE hOloL NON'lil LIE ofs
ELECTIONS.
TRY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBCNE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The House Committee on
Elections to-day decided by majority of three
votes that Mr.. Skinner, Democrat, of North Caro-
ua was not elected from the right disric, in order
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mr. Pool,
Republican. Then, without stopping totake breath,
the same committee by majority of one vote de-
cided that inasmuch Mr. Skinner had been elected
in a district at an election held in accordance with
writ issued by the acting Governor
of North Carolina. he ought TO be
permitted to retain his seat 1t is ntmated that at
a future meeting of the committee this absurd vote
NAV be rescnded. If Mr.. Skinner was not el lected
from the proper district. in accordance with the
laws of the United States and of North Carolina,
that ends IT, and he has right to sit in Congress
as the representative OF district In which no
vacancy had occurred.
The fact that the old district was Repub-
lican by safe majority while tho
new district is Democratic was plainly the
reason why the Lieutenant Governor OF North Car
Olina in the absence of the Governor issued Wrlo
for an election III the district to I'LL a vacancy
in the old district. This consideration may have
governed the majority of the comlnittee to-day IN
its vote on the second proposition. Two Repuollcan
members of the committee were absent, ole OF
whom is thought to labor under the impression THAI
he was placed on the committee as an ornament,
rather than with the idea that he would attend to
his duties
