THE ENGLISH COMMONS.
War Preparations Granville Denies Re
ceiving lsisinarck's Dispatch.

In the Commons the Secretary Of War
moved that the forces at the army depot be
increased by 5000 men Of all arms. He
believed that the fI3o,ooo already voted
would cover the cost Of the military opera
tions in the Soudan. The number Of ad-
tional men required next year he estimated
at $4,000. He believed It would be found
advisable to construct short lines Of rail.
way for the transportation Of troops and
supplies around the more serious cataracts
Granville, in letter read in Parliament,
denies that he ever received tho Bismarck's
dispatch vi May 18TH, which, he says, was
evidently private. and intended for Won
MINISTER'S guidance in dealing with the
general political situation. Shortly after
May 18TH, Won Munster and Herbert Bis.
n,arck told Granville that Germany would
be unable to maintain friendly attitude in
relation to Egyptian matters II England
continued unfriendly on colonial questions.
Granville denied that England was un.
friendly, and gave positive assurance Of
future friendly action. Bismarck was sat.
isfied. A tension has since resulted from
a difference of opinion whether these as.
surances have been kept or broken.

Transcontinental Fast Freight Line.

Active measures have been employed
by all the roads concerned to bring the
fast trains of the transcontinental freight
line to speedy consummation. The
Union Pacific has completed its quota Of
cars at the local shops at Omaha-all
equipped with Westinghouse air brakes
and other modern improvements. The
other allied roads announce equal prcpara.
tions, and 1000 cars are now available. On
Or about the 10th inst. the first fast train
will be started, and the new line formally
inaugurated. The Central Pacific forms
the western connection, while the Rock
Island and Wabash and Milwaukee roads
will cooperate ON the east. 1t is intended
to make the fastest ttranscontinental freight
time on record, and the success of the new
new venture is preassured. Samuel De-
Bow, a veteran fast freight man, has been
elected Superintendent. All the traffic will
be via Omaha.

A Terrible Explosion.

The citizens of Bradford, Pa, were
startled on the 10th inst, by terrible ex.
plosion that shook houses in all parts Of
the town. Inquiry revealed the fact that
the ntro.glycerine mandatory Of the
Rock Glycerine Company, located at How.
ard Junction, three miles away, had been
the scene Of a terrible casualty. A maga.
zine containing 5000 pounds Of glycerine
had exploded, and w. NJ. Harrington, one
of the proprietors. and II. V. Pratt, an en-
ploye, were killed. The factory, IS feet
away, was blowr into fragments. Pratt's
body was found 200 feet away. All his
bones were broken, but the skin was in
tact. Harrington weighed 100 pounds.
One or two pieces of flesh was the only
trace that could be found Of him. Trees
were torn up by the roots, and great holes
made in the earth. Loss, $4,000.

Cleveland's Capacity for Work.

The capacity Of the President for work
is wonderful, and he carries himself in the
White House with all the GOODNESS and de-
termination that he showed in the execu.
tive chamber at Albany. 1t is plain that
Cleveland intends that his Cabinet shall
relieve him of as much of the routine and
drudgery Of Office as possible. To this end
his first rule-that applications for Office
shall come through the department to
which the office belongs-is aimed. The
President will decide disputed questions
affecting patronage himself, but he will be
guided in ordinary cases by the advice Of
members of his Cabinet. He thus throws
the major part Of the responsibility for ap.
pointments upon members Of the Cabinet,
and holds them responsible for the char.
acter Of the service in their respective de.
partments. This is not new practice, but
it is intended to differ from the old by Civ.
ing the Cabinet officers wider swing in
the distribution of offices than they have
been accustomed to possess, Being COM
paratively ignorant Of National politics and
Of the relations Of public men to each
other, and the cliques and factions of State
politics, Cleveland has determined to turn
over to politicians Of far greater experience
than himself the disposition Of offices. ;sSa I'll,

interviewed thoughtful Tory, who sum.
med up England's crisis as follows: ut

Granville and Bismarck are fighting a
diplomatic duel; that the British army is
locked up in Soudan, and the Sultan holds
the key; that Russia is at India's gates,
and the Ameer is holding their keys; that
the dynamiters are planning new pyro.
technics, and that the increase in the army
means an increase in the tea and tobacco

The Defense Of Suakill.

A Suakim dispatch of the 9th inst. says:
The plan adopted for the defense of the
town is as follows: The Indian contingent
will camp on the right Of the town, and
the Guards on the left, where semicircle
of redoubts 400 yards apart will be formed
1900 yards from the inner line Of defense
and connected with the latter. The water
supply is abundant. Osman Digna has
sent letter to the British General in COM
mand at this place, recounting the Arab
successes, and announcing that the fall of
kassala is imminent, and warning the Eng
lish that they will be defeated and driven
into the sea if they venture outside Of the
city.

THE BIG RACE ON ROLLERS.
A Fearful Test Of Endurance for 4 Plti-
full Reward.

The six-days' roller skating contest at
New York proved great surprise to both
sporting 'nen and the general public. Its
asserted that the race was gotten up as a
gate money affair, the managers having no
idea that the contestants would last six
days. Thirty.six started, and ten lasted
throughout the week. Itis thought all are
more or less physically disabled. The num-
Der Of miles scored is exciting wonder in
sporting circles, and has led to numerous
projects Of six.day races on rollers The
prizes offered w.re exceedingly small, be.
ing $500 to the winner and $3.50 to the
second man. The winner of the last six.
day walking match cleared $1,000. On
all the contestants the trial showed great
strain.
END OF THE RACE-DONOvAN WINS.
The six.day roller skating tournament
closed on the 9TH. The winner, Donovan,
receives the $3.50 and $500 cash; Boyst.
$25o; Omelia, $15o; Maddox, $Ioo, and
the remainder Of those who finished $50
each. II is stated that Donovan has worn
his stockings several days, and that the
flesh, at the finish, pressed through the
texture until the boys limbs are in sad
condition. He was thus treated lest,
should his feet be dressed, he would be un-
able to resume.
Following is the score of those on the
track at the finish: Donovan, 100, miles;
Boyst, 1,o4s; Onclia, 1922; Maddox,
1000; Shock, $50; Johnson, S59; Allen.
$50; Calhoun. $50; Meyer, S3s; Ward, S,s;
Walton, 7o1.
When Donovan made his 1000 miles
between S and E o'clock Saturday morning
the garden rang with cheers and ap.
plause. With one exception Donovan had
at that time eclipsed the longest distance
ever accomplished in any mode Of locomo.
ton that requires physical exertion. The
exception was the six.day bicycle record
Of Charles Torrent in England, when 1872
miles were made.

The Care of Children.

BosroN, MASS. A leading medical
Journal thinks it is about time mothers
should know how very seriously the
health of children is daily imperiled

BIG II. r.. EMPLOYEES STRIKE.
The strike Assuming Very Serious As
pect.

\ St. Louis dispatch Of the 10th inst.
says: Governor Marmaduke has called
the militia here to go 10 Sedalia, Missouri,
to aid in repressing the trouble likely to
About 50 officers and men left here this
morning ON a special train, and will arrive
al Sedalia at ? p. m.
In response to the call for troops from
Governor Marmaduke, Lieutenant Colonel
Walbridge left with $50 militia and a gat-
ling gun for Sedalia at II o'clock to-day.
A riot is very seriously feared at Sedalia,
where 1000 striking railroad employees Of
the Gould system are said to menace prop
erty and the public peace. The soldiers
left on special train, and will make the
run to Sedalia, $50 miles, by ! o'clock this
evening. The St. Louis militia found con-
siderable difficulty in getting ammunition.
1t was finally arranged, however, and the
troops left with 10000 ball cartridges. The
employees Of the Missouri, Pacific and St.
Louis are still at work, and say they have
no present intention Of striking. The men
discuss the situation very closely, and it is
believed the departure Of the greater part
Of the militia from the city will have a
bad effect in encouraging the strikers. The
Missouri Pacific refuses freight, and is dis
charging or suspending many employees
not connected with the strike. Some Of the
Wabash men are out here, and others say
they will strike. 1t is said that the Mis-.
souri, Pacific Company hired number OF
Pinkerton detectives, and sent them up to
Sedalia, armed with Winchester rifles, to
protect their property until the State troops
arrive.
