War Clouds.

LONDON, April 23.-Gladstone, in pre-
senting the Governments request, for the
Governments, said: "The Government
feels it is necessary to hold all the
of the Empire, including the forces of the
Soudan, available for instant use whenever
required. The credit does not include any
provision for further offensive operations
or military preparation for an early
march on Khartoum. The Government
relies upon the patriotism Of the House,
but our intentions have been, and are
now based upon a strong desire thai
every pacific means should be used to OBJ
tain a Just and honorable settlement OF
whatever controversies England might be
involved in"
Gladstone explained that of the $780,
500, 900 wanted for Soudan, $3,750,OOO
would be devoted to the Suakim-Berber
railway; So, 900, 900 to the Nile or Wady
Halfa railway; 50, SOC, 900 to naval changes
in connection with the removal OF troops
from Soudan, and the balance would be
used to defray military changes in connec-
ton with Soudan. Gladstone said that
although the Suskim-Berber railway had
been commenced, any considerable extern
sion of it would have to be suspended. 1t
would be necessary to hold Port Suakim
and one or two places in the vicinity, for
health considerations until some perma-
nent arrangement shall be effected. The
Suakim- Berber railway, he said, was
merely a work Of military necessity. The
Nile railway, however, would be com
pleted apart from military reasons. In
regard to interior steps in the Soudan, the
Government reservede ntire liberty Of &C.
ton subject to the judgment of Parliament.
Sir Stafford Northcote said he regretted
| the -postponement Of debate on the budget,
but felt it was inevitable In view of the
| gravity of the situation. He thought the
Government was not dealing with the Sou
dan question in a satisfactory manner and
said he would refuse to vote the credit of
| f22, 500, 900 asked without a fuller state
ment from the Government regarding its
| policy in Soudan.
The lobby was excited over Gladstone's
| statement in the House OF Commons, which
is considered TO amount to ar evacuation Of
the Soudan. His repeated references to
the necessity of holding the troops in Sou
dan in readiness for service whenever
wanted indicates that England is on the
verge of war. Such words by the respon-
sible minister, it is thought, will soon
make peace impossible. 1t is believed Sir
Peter Lumsden's dispatch ia certain to in
fuence the British war feeling to an alarm
ing degree. Despite the fact that a credit
of $50, 600, 900 means an increase OF six
pence in the income tax, it is undoubtedly
true that the bulk of the conservative and
liberal members of the House of Commons
will vote for the credit cheerfuily.
A Failure Followed by Flight.
New YORK, April 23.-The Sun says:
Some Of the creditors Of Augustus Hexter.
manufacturer of collars and cuffs, who fed
to Quebec three weeks ago, said yesterday
they would not take n measures to ex-
tradite him, but would have him arrested
if he returned to New York. It is said
Hexter borrowed over $500, 900 from his
father-in-law, Jonas Strauss, the San
Francisco millionaire. His friends say
that when he married his wife her father
gave her $751; 00, and they lived happily
together. Hexter had plenty of money at
his command but knew nothing about
business. Young Strauss, who put $780,
900 special capital in the firm, wants to
know what became of the money and is
not satisfied with the way in which his
brother-in-law did business. He has com
menced action in the Supreme Court for a
dissolution of partnership and an account
ing. What Hexter did with all the money
he obtained puzzles the creditors. There
will probably be nothing for general cred
itors.
DE Lesseps ON the Suez Canal.
PARIS, April 23.-The meeting Of the
Suez Canal b-Commission yesterday
afternoon was the most important yet held,
and did much TO smooth away the difficult
ties which had hindered the labors of the
conference and for q moment threatened
to prevent a general understanding. Fer
dinand and Charles De Lesseps being con
suited on various questions strongly adj
vocated complete liberty OF the canal.
Being interviewed, Ferdinand De Lesseps
said: "The determination has not
asked my opinion yet, but were il asked /
should say no forts, no men-of- war. If
you build forts you invite people to take
them. The canal should be open to all In
time Of war and in time of peace. War
will be found o benefit to the company,
not a danger. The greater the liberty the
greater the safety"
