BURNABYs RAsHNEss.

The True Story of Burnaby's Death and the
breaking of the British square at Abu
KIea-COrdon's DespaIr--Vo VoIseleys in
tentions.
LONDON, February 25.-The dispatches
sent by Mr. Charles Williams to the Cen
traI Nc1rs, describing the battle of Abu
Kela, and which were suppressed by
General Lord WoIseIey, have at last
reached London, and are published in full
this morning. They contradict the pre-
vafIing impression that General Stewart s
square was broken by the overwhelming
power of numbers. He says that Colonel
Burnaby, who commanded the dismOuuted
cavalry forming one side of the square,
ordered them TO make a charge against
an advancing body of Arabs. He was
killed 10 leading the charge, and his men
were beaten back after a desperate en-
counter at close quarters. In the
confusion resulting from this disastrous
movement, the Arabs easily penetrated
the square, and were nearly successful
in breaking it to pieces. The most dam-
aging statement made by Mr.. Williams
is his positive assertion that Burnaby
acted entirely without authority in order
ing the charge.

Buying Goods on Worthless Sight Drafts
and Selling Them for Cash.
NEW YORK, February PA man Civ
ing the name Of John Smith, rented q
store in Jersey City about one month ago,
and soon began to receive quantities of
merchandise By freight. A few days ago
the police received inquiries by mail about
one John Smith who had obtained ship
ments of goods on sight drafts, which
had been dishouorcd. Investigation
showed that Smith had ut once put the
goods he received in new packages and
sold them at greatly reduced prices to
local merchants.
IL is known that his swiadIlng opera
tions amount to $4,000. Among the
firms victimized are: Philips & Co., %

DYNAMITE.

Headquarters For the Dynamite Factions
said to Have Been Established at Kansas
Clty, With "a Manufactory Near St. Louis
KANSAS CITY, Mo, February pa
number Of secret societies known to be
in sympathy with the English dyuamiters
have been known to exist here for a long
time, and no little anxiety has been felt
in consequence. But so long as nothing
more definite was known than that few
Irish revoIutionfst bodies and socialistdc
organizations existed, but little has been
said and no steps taken to avoid the pres
enee of what promises to be a source of
positive evil to the city.
RECENT DEvELOFAIESTsp
however, have occasioned the IiveIiest
concern. Detective Henshaw, of New
York, who came on here to look after
Captain Phelan, aud who has spent some
days investigating, now states that he has
positive and authentic evidence that this
city has been selected as the center of
operations Of the dynamite leagues aud
soclalistic organizations throughout the
United Statcsi aud that arrangements .
are at this time being perfected to manu-
facture dynamite and
INFERNAL MACHINES
at the Crystal City Glass Works, on the
Mississippi River, just below St. Louis.
These negotiations, he says, have been
going on for some time between
LEADING ST. LOUIS SOCIALISTS
and dvnamiters. and DIR. r. w. Sauer, of
this city, q prominent local Socialist, who
claims to have one of the latest and most
efficient machines, which will be used as
a model.
THE LOCATION
Rumors have been current in Caronde-
let for week past that arrangements
were being perfected for the manufacture
of dynamite and internal machines i'm the
southern part of the city, but all attempts
to ferret ont the matter proved unayau-
ing Those who would naturally be post
cd on such matters deny all knowledge of
it and declare that there is not the faint
est shadow of truth in the charge. How
ever, this denial is but what might be eN-
pected whether there is or is not such an
institution in existence here.

patch with an expression Of annoyance
cts my opinion that these things are
gotten up bv some people who have an
object in exciting in the minds of Amert-

Put In Force In the British House Of Com
mons, aud O.Brien, an Irish Member, Sus-
pended For Open Defiance Of the Speaker
II Stormy scene
LONDON, February 24.-A great tumult
Of excitement occurred in the House of
Commons this afternoon. a motion was
made from the Government benches to
suspend the regular order so that the de-
bate on the censure resolution of the OPP
position might be resumed. This was
opposed by the Irish members, who sue
ceeded in causing 4 perfect uproar. VIII
liam O'Brien, member for MallOw and
editor of the United ireland, was SO bold
in his defiance Of the rulings of the Speak
er that the latter suspended him.
LONDON, February 25--The pretext
for the opposition by the Irish members
to the continuance Of the debate on the
ccnsure resolution in the Commons yes
terday afternoon, was that the regular
order Of the day, namely Mr., Redmond's
motion for an inquiry into the Dublin
Castle scandals, ought not to be longer
postponed The disorder which accom-
panied the fiIibustering OF the Irish men,
bers has seldom had a parallel in the
the House. When Speaker Peel found
that his repeated calling of the obstruc-
tiOnists to order was disregarded, he took
advantage of the power conferred upon
him By the cloture rule, and as the only
method of defending the House against a
conspiracy among the handful of
ParneIIites, he peremptorily de-
clared the debate on the
pending question closed. This action
was followed by angry yells and exclama-
tons from the Irish seats. Mr.. O'Brien
cried out to the Speaker: eve viii re-
member this insult to Ireland" Mr..
O'Brien was theTeupon named by the
Speaker, that is, suspended from the
privileges of the House for one week.
Mr.. O'Brien, as he turned to leave the
hall, called outagain to the Speaker: "This
is the only honor have wished to obtain
from your hands" The Speaker simply
repeated his Injunction to withdraw
from the House ''Certainly. sir" re-
torted Mr.. O'Brien, and with more
pleasure than l ever had in entering"
Upon the withdrawal of Mr.. O'Brien,
the House by u vote of p to As, sus-
tanned the action of the Speaker in de-
claring cloturs. The debate on the motion
of censure against the Government. was
then resumed.
