Gladstone's Policy.

LONDON, Feb. l6.-Gladstone, in his
remarks to-day said: Our policy in the
Soudan is still for evacuation Recent
events there prevented immediate appli-
cation of this policy. The fall of Khar-
toum, altered, in n military sense, the
whole situation in the Soudan. Lord
Wolseley is authorized to adopt what
measures he saw fit for the overthrow Of
El Mahdi at Kartoum. No further COM
munication will be made to Mahdi but
any received from him will be considered.
Adjourned until tomorrow. The dis
cussion Of the redistribution Of seats bill

security. tCheenl.
Gladstone stated that the policy Of the
government to evacute Egypt eventually
remained UNCHANGED. He said he had
done a.. - could for Gen. Gordon, and
was not t. be held responsible for his
death. Gladstone, replying to a request
from Sir Stafford Northcote. said he
would name a day tomorrow for the dis
cussion Of the proposed vote Of censure.
Practically the same points were made
in the house Of lords.
Lord Salisbury responded as follows:
IF the country is not satisfied with the
governments explanation, it will visit a
bitter censure upon those answerable for
30 fruitless a policy. lCheeDl. We do
not propose to anticipate a discussion
which must inevitably come later on. but
we must hope England will not retire
from Egypt, leaving no record of our
presence there except the mischief done
and the bones Of our soldier"
Earl Granville frankly stated that the
government lett it entirely with Gen.
Wolseley to decide whether the British
forces should proceed to attack Khartoum
at once, or delay the attack until later
say sometime next autumn Earl Gran
vile further admitted that the govern
ment believed Wolseley would decide upon
a -postponement of aggressive operations.

went into COMMITTEES of the whole on the

general debate. though it was agreed
some general discussion should be per-
mitted. When the clause was reach ed
which proyidos for a board to examine
into the subject of the reconstruction of
the navy. the bill was read by paragraphs
for amendment. Mr.. Curtin offered an
amendment appropriatine $25. 600 for
testing American arms made of American
materials. He hoped the new admins
tration would be committed to a policy of
building mn the navy and he wanted that
navy built in this country. and Of material
manufactured in the United States. No
man who had noticed the unrest in
Furope could but fear there was a war
i~mpendipe which might shake the com
merce. trade and civilization Of the world.
IL such a calamity should fall upon
humanity. this nation should be prepared
10 take her mart. if in the providence of
Tod. she Should be drawn INTO the HtFuE-'
Gle. He was in favor Of building a navy
which would be formidable in time Of
war. respected in time of peace and equal
in character and force to the dignity and
mower Of this great people.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Cannon made a ooint of order
against the paragraph appropriating $500,
600 for the completion of the New
York and the point being oyeruled,
moved to strike out the paragraph. To
complete this old ship. which has been
lying in stocks nineteen years, he said,
was to advance backward and authorize a
waste of money.
Mr.. Hewitt, OF New York. said this
was a proposition to complete a wooden
ship when we had thirty for which we had
no use. and which il would be a blessin <

when the brothers heard that Mr.. Mordle
wished particularly to see them, he was asked
to step down into the cellar.
Into the cellar he went. Not bad place
on such sultry day. He found Horace
seated on "a low STOOL with his long straight
legs spread on either side of the cask, in
something OF the attitude of reversed
Bacchus. tIe was filling the bottles with the
golden fluid, whilst Herbert stood near him,
and after dipping the corEs into little basin
full Of wine, manipulated them with cork
squeeaer and eventually drove them into
their reSting-place by aid of a small spade
shaped nalet. AS each bottle was filed,
corked, and put aside, Herbert made chalk
mark on a board, and every fourth mark he
crossed with another, SO that the tally could
be easily counted. The whole performance
was beautifully methodical and business-like,
rejecting great credit on the actors.
With their native politeness, the moment
Mr. Mordle came in sight they ceased their
occupation. Horace turned the tap and rose
from the half filed bottle; Herbert left the
cork half driven in. They greeted their visi-
tor and apologized for bringing him down t"
the lower regions. Although they wore large
coarse white aprons, fashioned somewhat like
a girls pinafore, they looked two well-brsd
