To Fear That After All an Extra Session
Will Result.
WASHINGTON, February 24.-The action
of the House to-day seems to indicate that
the chances Of an extra session are very
much improved. In the first place there
is to be bitter fight on the subsidy clause
of the Postofice appropriation bill which
was added in the Senate yesterday. A mo-
ton to nQuconcur in the Senate amend
rients and ask for conference met with
demand on the part Of the friends of the
SUBSIDY for reference to the appropria.
ton committee, a majority of which
favor the subsidy clause. Randall and
Townshend objected to this, and the bill
was not acted upon in any manner. Again,
when Randall attempted to call up the def
cheney appropriation bill he was opposed BY
Willis, who asked the House to consider the
river and hsrbor bill. Randall said if this
was done there was danger that an extra
session would be forced. But in spite Of
Randalrs threat the House, BY majority
of / 7, voted with Willis. This means that
the appropriation bills are set back at least
one dsy and an extra session stares the
House in the face.

A HIeH old TIME
Ia the English House Of Com

GLADSTONE ON HIS SvscLE.
He Moves the Suspension Of the Editor
of United Ireland
aRd Was
AMERICAN style M ENGLAND.

LeNSoN, February 25.-Gladstone in the
Commons sS this Syssiaiing movsd to postpone
all metiens until after the order of the day
resuming the debate on Northcotes motion
of oensure against the government for It's
Egyptian policy was disposed of. In re-
spOnse to an interrogatory put by Ellis
Ashmead Bartlett, conservative, Gladstone
explained he had never mentioned abau-
doning the Soudan after the capture Of
Khartoun. He had merely said
the evacuation Of the Soudan by Egypt had
formed the original policy OF the English
Government. That policy remained unalterea.
but recent events had prevented its immedi
ate execution. Sir John Lubbock, liberal,
resumed the debate on. Northcote's motion
OF oensure. He said he would support thu
Government in any measures necessary to
benefit Egypt, Mr.. Charles Stuart Wortley
conservative, said he, thought the Govern
ment had acted with the climax of mean
ness toward General Gordon. Richmond,
home ruler opposed the Premiers motion
and was seconded in his opposition by sew
eral Parnellites. The opposition became 50
noisy that the speaker intssfered, and when
silence was restored, announced he thought
it his duty to inform the House he thought
the. sRbject had been adequately discussed.
Prolonged HOwIs.'
At this the Parnellites nearly all Joined
in a prolonged howl, and derisive cheers.
William O'Brien, editor of the United
Ireland, and home ruler shouted out: I'VE
will remember this in Ireland"
This remark was greeted with cries OF
"Oh! oh! Name him name him" The
speaker thereupon named o Brien. Glad
stone at once moved the name of the mem
ber be suspended.
O'Brien Jumped up and shouted; THAT
is the height OF my ambition" After the
uproar, which attended this passage be-
tween the Dublin editor and the Prime
Minister had subsided, Thomas Sexton,
home ruler, rose to point Of order.
He was snmmarily oversuled by the
Speaker. A division then called up Glad
stones motion to suspend D Brien. 1t re-
suited in vote of 244 for the motion and
but 20 against it. The Speaker, when the
vote had been recorded, ordered o Brien to
withdraw from the House. O'Brien arose,
Strengthened himself TO his full height, and
exclaiming with great precision and sar-
casm, Certainly, sir; l will withdraw from
the House with more pleasure than l
entered i" strobe ont.
The Gladstone o. Brien episode was quite
sensational while it lasted, and GladstOnes
conduct was firm and determined.

ANOTHER important bill which must 60
begging if the Legislature adjOurns on Fri-
day. is Senate Bill No. 10, bill offered Oy
Senator BROwS, the purpose of which IS to
prevent fraud By parties making assign
meuts. 1t is wen known how the meE-
chants, and everybody else for that matter,
have been defrauded out of large sums OF
money BY assignors making assignments
by which certain interested parties were the
preferred creditors, and disregarding alI
the rights Of the remaining
creditors. The present law is impotent to
protect innocent and unsusPecting creditors
and they have been compelled to stand BY
poweEless and see their property legally pass
out OF their possession. The proposed Ia"
is as near perfect as human ingenuity can
make it. Il provides that the assignoF
shall make no preferred creditors that
every creditor shall share pro rata; and that
the assignee shall give good and sufficient
bond for the faithful execution OF his duty
The bill has many other clauses OF adysn'-
age and should pass BY all means. over
one hundred petitions have been received
Iy the Merchants Association from diner
ent sections Of the State, urging the passage
Of such bill.

The Second Branch Of Council last night
took very remarkable step. One, the
REclSrgR is afraid, was not warranted by
the situation. The majority Of the Lagis-
lalure is striving with all its power to equal
ize taxation and take the burdens thereof
from the industrial classes. Of course it is
folly to talk about such q thing as seyering
the Panhandle counties from the rest Of
the State. No State would consent
to permit her richest sources Of
revenue to be destroyed, except by coercion.
The policy of the city would be to present
ber grievances to the Legislature and ask
that they be recti6ed
Although the resolution went through
With a whirl, from some unsccountable
cause. it seems as if the First Branch took
decided exception to the work of the Sec
oud be a vote of ten to three.

TRSRE must be no extension, says the In
telligencer. The difficulty with the IntelE-
genCer is. it cannot see over the party fence,
hence it wants no extension of the session.
And if the plane of that fence is any way
high, it requires stepping stone to get to
the top. As for instance, the internecine

LONDON, February 24.-The papers con-
tinue to publish extracts from the kilograms
and letters of General Gordon as they ap.
pear in the Blue Book on Egypt. One OF
these letters is dated December 1, 1884, and
recounts many Of the incidents Of the siege
and has the following narratives;
"Once the river rose and we drove of the
Arabs in four fights. We fired their towns.
We sent two expeditions TO SEMINAR. We
had fight September 4th, We were de-
feated with heavy loss our square getting
always broken. 1t has been quiet since.
We fred 10000 rounds in these different
fights; the Arab Krupp guns often shelled
our ttean ers. We have lost three steamers
and built two. All the capiives with the
Mahdi are well. Staten Bey iswell treated,
but is kept in chains The nuns among the
captives are ostensibly married to the
Greeks in the party in order to save them
selves to be compelled to marry Arabs.
There is q mysterious Frenehman from
Dongola with the Mahdi. Don't let the
Egyptian soldiers come. Take direct com.
nand of the steamers at Metemneh and
turn out Fellaheen."

Natural Gas and weIlsburg Disaster.


The recent explosion in Wellsburg, by
which six lives were lost and considerable
amount Of property was destroyed, Is the
saddest and most disastrous calamity that
has ever fallen on our quiet and prosperous
town. It demonstrates the fact that natu-
raj gas is dangerous element unless
proper care and precautions are
akep, BY some unaccountable means the
idea las gone abroad that it is inodOrous.
Nothing can be farther from the truth.
Whenever it escapes, even upon the streets,
il can be detected. 1t was known on Fri
dav II at gas was escaping and filling the
cellars OF the house blown up, and the
wife and mother urged the man TO have the
pires fixed. The fault was not in the gas
but in the absence Of the necessary and
Indispensable precautions. The Legislature
now in session should At once appoint
4commiItee and make an investigation 10
ascertain what laws are necessary IN the
nemists and then pass them at once,
eeuIstipg and prescribing the duties OF gas
companies and consumers in order TO avoid
he recurrence of similar or other disasters.
Steam causes in one way or another the
Death of hundreds ofpeople every year, and
lie destruction OF an immense amount oil
,roperty. but no one dreams OF dispensing
With i,s use. People still travel on steam
boats and ears and manufacturers suil use
it.
With ordinary care consider gas as q
fuel the safest that we can use. Nearly
all coal has more or less slate in It, that
when heated may fly out and set the house
ON FIRE, or the Goals may fall down with the
same result. You may when you retire or
leave the house turn the gas without turn
inc II off so that no flow Of gas no matter
how stropg will be dangerous. Its utility
for fuel and for manufacturing purposes
can not be over.estimated. The absence OF
sulphur. smoke, SCOT and dust, and the labor
of bringing in coal and carrying out the
ashes. are blessings highly appreciated not
only by the women but by every lover OF
soman. The sick room can be regu.
lated better than by any other kind
of fuel. II is not its only recommendation
that for manufacturing purposes 1t 70 cheap
or than coal. The machinery can be run
with much greater regularity, and when
heat alone is wanted it can be regulated
with greater precision. We cannot, and
We must not. dispense with natural gas IN
auy department; but We must have Legal
safeguards 10 render its use more safe than
now. Double piping with escsPements to
outside pipes at every corner. or the pipes
aid above ground, Would obyiaie the dan.
ger Of lis accumulation in cellars. provided
the pipes in cellars were ordinarily good.
and this latter precsuiion is IS necessary IN
MANUFACTURED as in natural gas hope
our Legislature win take this mstter under
consideration at once and pass the necessary
laws 10 protect all the interest involved.

He is Eligible.

WASHINGTON, February PA question
has recently been raised with regard to the
eligibility Of Mr. Daniel Manning, Of Al

Treasury, inasmuch as he is a stockholder
in the Commercial National Bank Of that
city.
Judge Lawrence, first Comptroller of the
Treasury upon being asked by reporter
to day for his opinion on the subject, said:
The same question was carefully examined
BY Judge Folger when he was appointed
Secretary Of the Treasury, and he decided
the Secretary might be q stockholder in a
National bank During the whole time he
vas Secretary of the Treasury he was Di-
rector in the Geneva National bank.
