LONDON, March 27-The following telegram
has been received at the Admiralty from Rear
Admiral Sir William Hewett, dated from Sua
kim, March 10:
Following is reply from Osman's camp to
proclamation sent out by me- in which General
concurred Begins; In the name of the most
merciful God, the Lord be praised, etc. From
the whole of the tribes and their shieks who
have received your writings and those who did
not receive writings, to the commandant of the
English soldiers, whom God help to Islam
Amen Then your letters have arrived with us
and what you have informed in them-to
come in-then know that the gracious God has
sent his Mahd suddenly who was expected, the
looked-for messenger for the religious and
against the infdels, so as to show the religion
of God through him and by him, to kill those
who hate him, which has happened. You have
seen who have gone to him from the people and
soldiers who are countless. God killed them,
so look at the multitudes. Here follow verses
of Koran. You who never know religion till
after death hate God from the beginning
Then are sure that God and only God sent
the Mahdi, so as to take away your property, and
you know this since the time of our Lord Mahom-
cts coming. Pray to God and be converted
There is nothing between us but the sword eS-
pecially as the Mahdi has come to kill you and
destroy you, unless God wishes you to Islam.
The Mahdis sword be on your necks wherever
you may escape, and Gods iron be around your
necks wherever you may go. Do not think you
are enough for us, and the Turks are only lit
tie better than you. We will not leave your
heads unless you become Mussulmans and listen
to the prophet and the laws of God. And God
said in His dear Book Those who believe Him
fight for him; and those who do not believe in
Him shall be killed Here follow many verses
from the Koran. referring to permission to kill
infdels Therefore God has waited for you a
long time, and you have thought that He would
always go on waiting for you; but God said He
would wait for you, as you were bad people, but
know that during the time of the Mahd He will
not accept brides from you and also will not
leave you in your infdelity. So there is nothing
for you but the sword, so that there will not re
main one of you on the face of the earth there

The Bonded Extension Bill Rejected by a
Large Majority.
Special to the indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGToN March 27.-The defeat of the
whisky bill today was expected, but it is a mat
terof good deal of surprise thatsuch majority
against it as l02 was obtained. The whisky men
admitted its defeat by a small majority. Those
opposed to it never thought that they would
have more than forty or fifty majority The
speeches made against it have been particularly
strong. The talk of the whisky ring had good
effect, too. Mr.. Blount, of Georgia who made
one of the strongest arguments against the bill,
made motion, to-day, to strike out the onacting
clause, which killed the bill.
There are many people here tonight who
say the defeat of the bill foreshadows a painful
stringency in the money market through the
Southwest, and especially that portion of Ken
lucky where the whisky interest is strongest
1t is predicted, however, that forcing payment
of the tax upon the whisky bonded in 1881,
while it will cause considerable distress among
distillers and the banks which have advanced
money upon the fluid, will not create a panic
Many of the banks in Louisville Lexington
Frankfort and contiguous places have advanced
money to the extent of 40 cents per gallon upon
whisky upon which the tax must now be paid.
In order to protect themselves these banks
must make further advance of 80 cents
per gallon upon every gallon in which they are
interested, or lose what they have advanced If
forced upon the market at the present time, it
would be impossible to realize more than 81. 40
per gallon, it is claimed and that figure would
not cover the cost to the bankers; hence, the
whisky will be held or exported to avoid pay
ment of the tax For some time it has been
known almost to a certainty that the bill could
not pass, and the effect of its non-passage has in
consequence been discounted, The fact that the
bill would be defeated overwhelmingly became
apparent early in the House that no effort was
made to tack on the bill to restore the duty on
wool

INDIANAPOLIS, FRIDAY MORNING.

ton of Parliament and that was pre-
cisely what the House of Lords intended to
bring about. The country they believed was
not only heartily tired but thoroughly dis
gusted with Liberalism, as would be over
whelmingly shown at the general election The
writs for this election, he said, would be issued
with all possible speed so as to have as soon as
possible House of Commons fresh from the peo-
Pile. Such a House. he believed, would insist
upon a virile and determined, but withal just
and consistent treatment of foreign affairs such
as would restore the prestige of British arms
and British diplomacy so nobly won by former
administrations, but so sorely imperiled by the
present one.
1t is impossible to overestimate the significance
and importance of such a statement as this com
ing from the veteran statesman who was Lord
Derby's Secretary for India and the leading
member Of Lord Beaconsfelds Cabinet, who is
the formally elected leader of the Conservatives,
and who is everywhere looked upon as the sue
cessor to Gladstone in the not improbable event
of Conservative victory
1t is announced that Gladstone has recovered
his usual health and will return to Parliament
on Monday.
In the debate on the franchise bill in the Com
mons last night Chamberlin, president of the
Board of Trade declared it was the fixed and
unanimous intention of the government to in
clude Ireland in the bill If the Lords reject
the bill, he said, let the nation decide between
them and the government He did not fear the
result.

ParneIl's Prediction.

DUBLIN March 27-The Freemans Journal,
of which E. ODwyer Gray, NJ. P, is editor,
publishes an interview with Mr. Parnell. The
House of Lords Mr.. Parnen believes, will reject
the new franchise bill. The result will be
dissolution of Parliament and appeal to the
country. The government is dependent in
the committee of the whole upon the Irish vote
for majority. The raising of general fund
is contemplated to meet the exigencies by the
Parnellites. Parnell expects, under the present
franchise that his party could carry fifteen seats
in Parliament at the next general election of
candidates. He says they will be required to
give pledge that they will sit act and vote with
the Irish party or resign. He thinks it is
necessary to make provision for eligible candi-
dates who are poor-law guardians. Forty thous-
and pounds would be sufficient fund to cover
the election expenses and secure constant and
efficient attendance of Irish members in Parlia-
ment
The London Standard doubts whether Mr..
Gladstone will much longer be able to support
the mental friction inseparable from his present
position. 1t urges him to accept a peerage,
which need not be considered equivalent to re-
tirement.
The Orangemen and Liberals of Ulster are
negotiating with a view to division of seats in
Parliament at the next general election, so as to
prevent the election of Parnellites.

How 1t Is Regarded in Berlin.

BERLIN, March 27.-Apropos of the appoint
ment of Mr.. Sargent minister to Russia, the
Berliner Tageblatt considers that America has
conferred demonstrative honor upon Sargent
which cannot be regarded as victory of Bis
marck's policy.
The North German Gazette bismarck organl
is silent on the subject.
The Deutsche Tageblatt says: cat Bismarck's
dinner in honor of the Emperor's birthday Bis
marck greeted Sargent with courteous bow
but shook hands with all other diplomats"
The Berlin correspondent of the London Times
says: 1.-THE transfer of Sargent to st. Peters
burg is regarded here as a happy settlement of
the personal difference which has become acute.
1t is thought that President Arthur will not
hurry to fill the vacancy at Berlin"

results. If, however, the pending negotiations
fail we shall spare no effort to reduce the Hovas

much as the United States pays.

Difficulties in the Way of Reaching a Salts

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March Representative Hill,
of Illinois, member of the House committee on
foreign affairs said to-day that his committee is
still considering the subject of retaliatory legs-
latlon. 'The difficulties encountered have in
creased" said Mr. HIT with each step we take.
There is no doubt that we ought to adopt retail
atory measures, but they should be such TO
leave no doubt of their intent. We have looked
over the whole list to see which articles can be
excluded upon the ground of public health, in
order that we might advance that reason for ex-
Guiding German products. We find no difficulty
in coming to the conclusion that the wines of
Germany are, in many instances, adulterated and
injurious tohealth, but the wines which we import
from that country are but a very small fraction
of the imports and by excluding them we
should not accomplish anything of any great
account. We must go further and retaliate by
the total prohibition of imports from Germany;
not for the sake of public health, but because we
mean to retaliate The cry of injury to health
caused by German drinks is we'll enough, but it
does not go far enough. 1t is the aim of our
people to turn upon Germany for excluding our
hog products Germany says they are I'M
healthy, which is untrue. Therefore, 1 favor
such action as will convince that country ahat
we mean to protect our own interests against
her unjust discrimination"
''Will the committee do anythingl'
II think we shall. AT least the President will
be given discretionary power to place an en-
barge upon foreign imports, whenever in his
judgment it may be for our best interests"
