LONDON, March 3.--Gladstone replied to
the structures of Sir Wilfrsd Lawson and
justified the policy which the government
had been pursuing. He asserted 1t was nee
cessary to hold Suakim for the present In
order to keep down the slave trade. North
cote said the lack OF controlling the Govern
ment's Egyptian policy caused the misfor-
tunes In Soudan. 1t was the duty Of the
Government, he thought, to boldly state
their future policy. ......., l., gsrt
Lord Randolph Churchill expressed the
greatest astonishment that the ministry
should not replyto Northcote. Harrington,
Secretary Of State, stated the British would
retire from Suakim As soon IS compatible

motion to adjourn was rejected, 1o5 to

retary, stated the Government recognized

suzera,nty outside OF Transsaal.

A CRUEL FATHERS DEED.
He Keeps His Daughter Imprisoned for Twenty
Years

LA SALE, Ills, Feb. 29.-About 10 miles
north of this city,close by the Mendoza road,
stands the olG Reck homestead. In this
house was enacted one of the most unnatu-
raj crimes ever brought to light-that in re-
lation to the almost life. long suflerings Of
poor Maggie Reck, who was confined as a
prisoner in her fathers house for 20 years.
The denouement occurred four years ago, at
the death of her father, at which TIME the af-
fair was discovered. Maggie Reck was a
beautiful young girl of 10 when her tyranical
father locked her up In her room one night
and kept her there from day to day, to sub
ject her girlish will to his brutal commands.
Ee refused to unbend his harsh edicts, and
ere long the mind Of the poor girl began to
totter on its throne, and gradually reason
forsook her, and at the end of a year she was
maniac, quiet, passive and helpless. In
this condition she was permitted to remain
for 20 long years shut up in garret. A hole
was cut in the door through which the food
given her was passed. The room in which
she was imprisoned was destitute Of chairs,
table, bed or even straw 10 lie upon. She
was entirely nude, aud during the long win
ter nights and lengthy days Of summer the
poor creature was treated more inhumanly
than would be dog.
When rescued from her prison four years
ago, Miss Reck looked more like wild beast
than woman. From crawling on her hands
and knees around the room her body had
become deformed and she presented fright
full appearance. She was locked up for so
great length of time the memory of her
faded from the recollectlons of her plsymates
and friends, and after awhile all inquiries as
to her mournful fate ceased, and she was as
completely buried as though the grave had
engulfed her. 1t was not known what had
become of her since her liberation four years
ago. To-day she was discovered as woman
of 10, living with relatives at Mendoza, Ills.
Her reason is slowly improving aud 1t Is
thought that she will be fully restored to
health.

Divided Democracy.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 4-There are
some significant movements noticeable
'mOng the democratic element at Sara

.luue TO arrive, aud Henricks serves as
focus around which all gather. Dan

Flower is at the Grand Union. He and
Hendricks have been in consultation fer
some tIme Many other leaders of the
iock-ribbed forces are here Consulta-
lions are the order of the day, and the
air OF profound mystery which the
democrats seek TO throw around all
thelr movements only series to intensi-
ty the interest. A gentleman in posi-
non TO know assures your correspondent
thar there is a regular internal conflict
DING on among the leaders over John
Kelly. Tammany has stated its ultima
um. The New York City patronage
must be given it or out it goes, bag and
baggage, from the democratic camp.
Cleveland and one element
of his followers are disposed
TO bid Tammany go, and say,
Good radiance of bad rubbish''
Hendricks, on the other hand, insists
that Tammany must be seduced back
into the fold at any cost. 1t is known
that while Cleveland ana Hendricks
were holding their first interview in
Albany the other day the matter was
touched en-very slightly to be sure,
yet still enough to evince that the head
and the tail of the ticket differed widely
in their views as to tie best policy to he
pursued. There is a serious break in
the Democratic harmony somewhere,
and whether the genial Manning, who
is antiTammany, or the subtle Flower,
who is Kelly first, last, and forever, can
unite on line of policy that will strad-
die all the issues and satisfy the varied
elements remains to be seen. From
information IN your correspondents
possession you can look for some
rich developments from Saratoga very
ohsrtly.

was the first speaker. He spoke of
Blaice as champion Of civil rights and
a friend of the workin.man.
Blaine and Logan said he, ARE Americans
whoswi see that we are not tramped upon, and
who will preserve our dignity one OF the great
est powers of the earth. -
James O'Reilley spoke next. He said
his own determination had been to vote
for Butler If they should split up and
some vote for Butler, while others favor
ed Blaine, they would lessen their pow
err considerably. There was no halfway
about it. The committee on demon
stralion stated that tie meeting a.
Chickering had marked a new epoch in
the history of politics in this city in the
united action of Irishmen. They had
acted both as Americans and IrishmeP.
There was no Inconsistency in the fact
that their impelling motive was love
OF their own country as well as this.
The question now appears to be whether
England or America should say who
was to be president Bernard 5. Kelly
stated that in the Twenty-second assem-
oily district the young men were disgust
ed with the democratic party and would
vote for Blaine and Logan.

Mrs. WINNIE REAM HoxIE has met
with her first national defeat. in failing
to have the order rescinded which assigns
her husband to engineer duty at Mont

Mrs. Hoxie she has managed to retain
her husband on duty in Washington
through congressional and social in
fluences. There is no doubt that Capt
HoXie has been of great service to the
district government in perfecting the
plans of a city sewerage system but the
claim that his place cannot be filled is
arrant nonsense, which is the precise
term in which Gen. Newton character
ICES the statement. Capt. Hoxie has
been stationed in Washington for the
past ten years, continuously ENJOYING
all the rights and privileges which be-
long to his profession without any Of its
discomforts, such for instance
as being stationed for a long period at
some lonely and insulated frontier post.
The fight he is making to be retained is
all the more ridiculous on this account
and a number of his professional asso-
ciates are chuckling over the fact that
his soft snap" as it Is termed, has at
last come to an inglorious end.
