The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1885-02-25

Sexton, home ruler, rose to point of
order.
He was summarily overruled by the
speaker.
A division was then called for upon
Mr.. Gladstone's motion to suspend
O'Brien.
1t resulted in vote of 2i4 for the mo.
tion and but 20 against 1t.
The speaker, when the vote was be-
ing recorded, ordered 0'Brien with
drawn from the house.
O'Brien arose, Strengthened himself
up to his full heighth, and exclaiming
with great precision and sarcasm:
"Certainly, sir; will withdraw from
me house, more willingly than | in
tended"
The Parnellites objected to resump.
tion Of the motion, because of the order
for discussion on the motion made nv
Redmond, relating to the conduct Of
an Irish constable named Murphy.
The Gladstone-OB Brien episode was
quite sensational while 1t lasted and
tladstoae's conduct was firm and de-
termined.
When the house again settled down
to business chloture was proposed and
voted for, 207 aye, to 46 nays.
Mr.. Parnell expressed dissatisfaction
with the tally. and as protest insisted
upon division. This resulted In the
adoption OF Gladstone's motion to re.
sumo debate on Sir Stafford's motion of
censure; 222 to 10. ESn
CAUTIOUS coMBATANTs.
Another account OF the skirmish at
Abu Klea on the 18th, SAYS before the
| rebels fell back there was some very ac-
tive fighting, but it was confined to
sharpsheoters on both sides, as the
Arabs did not come near enough to the
| British embankments to make yolley
1rlng effective for some reason, and also
on account of the scarcity of ammuni-
tion, the Machin guns were not brought
into action. The loss to the British was
killed aud 2l wounded.
GEN. woLsELEY THINKS
Gen. Butler will he able to make his
way back to Gakdull wells without Sc
rlOus difficulty,
HE'LL NEED 'EM.
Gen. Graham will have 5000 troops In
Suakim by the 9th of March. These
will include the India contingent.
A RAY OF HOPE.
The arrival of Gen. Brackenbury's
column at Abu Hammed will be a well
come event for the British, since there
viii then, for Il few weeks Mt least, be a
possible line of communication with
korosko, above the second cataract.
This line is 235 miles long and there is
only one point at which water is found,
but steps Will be taken TO forward stores
OF water to lei Murad in advance, and
by forced camel marches the distance
can be covered in nine days. At best
this line will be an indifferent one, but
anything Is preferable TO the isolation
OF the past several days.
