England ; and that. although no trea-
ty had been signed, the policy of the
two countries would move in parallel
lines. 1t appears to have been agreed
that Italy should occupy Assab, ops
posile Alden, and Massownh, the portf
giving entrance to Abyssinia. The
Italians are inclined TO seek their
share of Africa in this direction, and
to employ in The work a considerable
force, no less than $4,000 men being
held in readiness. England can work
with Italy more easily than with any
other of The Powers; and the Italians
are, next to the Greeks-who also
work heartily with us-the most nu-
meaqus of The Colonists in Egypt. In
the event of a real struggle with
France-which Power, however, has
now 100, 900 troops lying al the mercy
of The English feet in Algeria and
Indo China-ihe adhesion of The great
Italian ironclads might prove Of serious
Importance. The Italians are rapidly
filing Buenos Ayres, where, in the
city al least, they possess a cleaH: ma
jority, and make patient, Industrious
and reasonable colonists. With the
convict labour they will employ they
may make of Massowah a fine port.

Piedmont has been visited this
winter with a kind of hurricane of
avalanches. Some cause still not
traceabl", but possibly connected
with earth->hakings in Spain, has
loosencd the snow in huge masses, SD
that one after It's fall was found to be-
a mound forty yards high Ey two
hundred long. This mass killed forty
persons, while a similar one from the
same mountain buried twenty nine
more. Entire lists of villages have
been overwhelmed, and valleys like
the Val d AoSIa choked-up 80 that
entrance or exit is impossible. Not
one Alpine village has escaped some
loss !; and large bodies of soldiers are
employed in merely cutting ways
through the snow to carry relief I"
The wretched Inhabitants. In some
instances entire families have been
destroyed, and in others the few sur
vivorS have gone mad with grief and
fear. No calamity more dreadful has
struck a mountain community in our
time, or one SO curionsly exceptional.
1t is as if the avalanche had been
fred from a Calling instead of, as
usual, trom "A rife.

Lord Wolseley has succeeded. lie
has forced his way to the Nile, and
opened direct communication with
Khartoum. On the 18Th inst, the day
after thebattle of Abon Klea, Sir Her
bert Stewart resolved TO make Il single
continuous march ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
10 the Nile, and % prevent the re-
formation of the enemy. Starting at
two o'clock, he rarched through the
afternoon and night but the exhaust
ed condition Of his camels delayed
him, and at daybreak on the 18TH he
found the enemy, probably 5'Ooo
strong, ready to attack him at a poln'
five miles this side of Metemmrh. He
threw,up an entrenchment, and o.
dered a halt for breakfast; but the
Arabs, among whom were many OF
the Mahdis own troops or "dervlSleS'
threw in 81 continuous fire, under
which men began to fall fast. The
General himself received u bullet in
the groin, and Tell, the correspondents
of the Standard and Morning Post
were killed, and some seventy more
were wounded. Sir G. Wilson, there
fore, on whom the command develop
cd, constructed a redoubt TO shelter
the wounded and the baggage; and
will, less than a thousand men, on the
afternoon of the 10th, resumed the
march 10 the river. The Arabs at
tackled the advancing square f~uri"usly
but the British were as steady as an.
tomato; the place of each man VIII" fell
was silently filled up, and the heavy
fire withered the charging forces. The
Arabs literally fell Sin lines" an" not
one reached the square, which, before
nightfall, was at Gubat on the rlver'
a little south OF Metemmeh, and near
er Khartoum.

Gubat was entreuched, and ON the
21sr. or 22nd-tEe accounts differ
Sir Charles Wilson, being joined by
four steamers from Khartorm which
had been lowering about Metemmeh,
and by some hundreds OF General
Gordon's negroes, MADE a reconnais-
sance in force against Metemmrh.
The village was found to be defended
by Ioop-holed walls and garisoned by
II large force, in part sent down from
Omdurman, commanded by an Em1r,
Ali Moussa, rel uted for courage and
fanaticism. The General, therefore,
decided that the loss Of life would be
too great, and returned totheentrench
ment. He despatched Captain Ri
gott to inform Lord Wolseley and re-
quest achievements, and leaving
Colonel Boscawen in command OF the
entrenchment on the river, started
with two steamers and the Royal Sus-
sex for Khartoum. Captain Plsott
found the Desert free, crossed it in tour
days-a splendid ride-and on the
2Sth Colonel Redvers Butler, with
1000 men. had started from korti for

ed that room and the neighbouring
Council-room, twisted the 'ihes stack
ed there, caused a fre,-which was,
however, speedily extinsuished,-
and wounded two girls of nineteen,
and two children. The total damage
is estimated at 920,O 600. The experts
believe that abou, six pounds Of by
Mantle were used in each parcel, but
are perplexld as to the method Of ig-
milton. They reject the notion of the
fuse, and see no trace of amy machln-
cry. II is clearthat some contrivance
acting slowly was employed, as the
miscreants left the Crypt steps and
the House OF Commons in safety.
The police have arrested a man
named Cunningham, whom they sus-
pect of being The agent employed t"
blow up the Tower. He is an l'lsh-
American, gave a false address, and
in public gives an Indifferent o
OF himself. Ii is brlieved, however,
that he has made fuller statements to
the police, which have placed them on
a track they consider hopeful. There
is, however, only II chance of the de-
lection of the criminals, as they are
unwounded and informers are alarm
ed bv The fate of Carey, and by the
unreasoning detrstntion they have to
face. The explosions have had, how
ever, the good effect OF arousing
American Indignation. The Senate
of the United States On Monday
passed, by sixty,three votes 10 one, a
resolution utterly condemnlng such
crimes, the solitary exception being
one Riddleberger, presumably a Ger
man, sen to the Senate by the "rr-
adjusting", that is, the regulating,
party in West Virginia. A Bill, more
over, making the manufacture, sale,
or storage of dynamite for such pur-
poses felony, and Furnishing the col
ection Of subscriptions for purposes
of outrage, will, it is believed, pass
the Legislature Of New York and
Philadelphia. A Treaty for the pur-
pose would be a reader instrument.
as under the Constitution all Courts
must recognise it; but we welcome
the rising OF healthy sentiment in the
Union with sincere pleasure. Ii may
one day extend to Ireland; but at
present Mr.. Parnell delivers address
after address without one word of
reproof for the dynamitards, and his
audiences do not punish him for the
omission. Yet if the relatives of the
injured attempted reprisals, Ireland
would ring with denunciations of
British brutality and w~ickedness.

The Fenian dynamitards have made
another effort to do mischief, this time
with some success. About two o'clock
on Saturday, three men, Of whom two
are believed to have been dressed as
women. made three separate attempts
on public buildings. One left a par
eel on the steps leading to the Crypt

into the State Department, where cipher
dispatches are the rule.
Detroit Ne,rs: II the British ministers
and Lord Wolseley are liberal subscrib-
ers to the American papers, and we have
no doubt they are, they should not be

Syracuse Standard: 1t is devoutedly
to be wished that the confidential confer
ence which President-elect Cleveland had

more annoying epistles from his party

SESATOR-ELECT EvARTs, OF New York,
was reported es saying, recently, that he
was candidate for the Presidency in
1892 and that he proposed to run ON the
discovery OF America 10y Columbus, think
ing that all wonid unite ON that platform.
If the distinguished candidate meant to
include in "all, the mugwumps and the
Prohibtionists, he made a mistake.
Thomas Wentworth Higgnson would
bolt and denounce Columbus rs
a fraud for claiming to have dis
covered this continent when in fact the
Norsemsn made the discovery and Column
bus died without having any knowledge
that be had not landed in the East In

THERE seems 70 be difference Of opin-
ION as to the position Of Judge Cooley ia
relation 70 reelection to the position
which he now holds upon the Supreme
Bench. There can be no doubt as 10 the
sentiments Of the bar and people Of this
State on that question without respect 10
party associations. Ii is tie wish Of an
overwhelming majority that hs should be
continued IN the Office. III Judgs Cooley
saw fit to announce that he would no
longer serve in any event, Il would end
the question. 1t Is, however, eminently
proper that he should make no such an
nouncement. His sense Of delicacy would
prevent his anticipating the action OF the
conventions. His replies 10 personal
friends who have questioned him upon
the subject are such as might be expected
OF man possessing his fine sense OF the
proprieties which attach 10 the position.
The judicial office is above partisan strife
and personal self-seeking or candidacy.
Judge Cooley's final answer can be gwen
only when the people shall have given
their wishes such All expression as calls
for a direct reply from him. The time
when the people will meet in convention
is near ut hand The matter should rest
whore ii is until the conventions meet.
Nothing has been said which stands IN the
way of their rendering to Judge Cooley
the compliment he deserves of nomina-
ton as his own successor.
The friends of Judge Montgomery
have urged his name solely upon the
ground that Judge Cooley's name was not
To be further considered. Judge Mont

stances. He would not allow himself to
