CAIRO, Dec. 14.-In the letter received
which is supposed to have contained
the announcement that Emln Pasha and
a white traveller presumably Stanley
had fallen into the hands of the mahdi,
were enclosed copies of dispatch from
a deryish leader at Lado to Khalifa
Pasha, giving the date of Emin Pasha's
surrender as Oct. 10, and letter TO
Emin Pasha from the khedive, which the
latter handed to Henry NJ. Stanley when
he was at Cairo. 1t is rumored that OS-
man Digna, i'm his letter. expressed a
willingness to surrender Emin Pasba
and his white companion provided
Egypt would agree TO abandon Suakim.
If this proposal is not accepted it is be-
lieved that both captives will be killed.
Along with his letter, Osman Digna
sent several Snider cartridges, which,
he alleged, were taken from the white
travellers. The Zanzibaris in SANKEY'S
expedition were armed with Snider
rifles, but there were none in the PCS
session of the dervishes.
CONQUERED EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.
SAUKIM, Dec. l5.-Osman Digna's
letter was reply to Maj. Rundle's re-
quest OF last August for news of EmiH
Pasha. The letter asserts that the
mahdi has conquered the whole of the
equatorial provinces. The Lado letter
asserts that one white man escaped.
Refugees at Handoub confirm the
statements made in Osman Digna's let
ter.
SUAKIM, Dec. 14.-It is reported that
the wounds of Osman Naib, the rebsd
commander, are serious. Heavy firing

He said that war is being waged against
the settlers who are trying to make
terms for the purchase of their lands by
the class who had made no settlements,
and all kind of arguments are being
used against the settlers to keep them
from settlement and when they failed,
threats of violence are resorted to. He

O'BRIEN In CONTEMPT.
The Editor of United Ireland
Snaps His Fingers at the Par



Special Cable 10 the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 14.-When the Parnell
commission reassembIed this morning
Sir Richard Webster, of the Times
counsel, made an application to the
court TO hold an extra sitting of the
commission on next Tuesday, as to-day
was the day agreed upon for adjourn
ment for the holidays. The attorney
general stated that he asked for the
extra sitting in order that he might
apply to the court to take action re-
spectlng William O'Brien, and an
article which the latter had published
in his paper, United Ireland, in which
he stated that the time had arrived for
plain speaking regarding the Times
forgeries of Mr.. ParnelPs letters and
the commission. The writer said that
he did not care a two-pence for
the opinion of the judges,
who had been selected by the
forger's friends and accompllces.
then called the attention of the court to
some observations made by the warden
of Merton college in which he llkened
Michael Davitt and others of the Par
nellites to the Whitechapel murderer.
After q short consultation the judges of
the commission decided to hold an extra
sitting tomorrow and that Mr.. O'Brien
must attend it to answer the charges
against him. They also decided that
the warden of Merton college should at
tend the first meeting of the new sit
ting of the commission in January to
explain his language. Sir Charles Rus
sell. of the counsel for the Parnellites,
proceeded to cross-examine Thomas
OConner, who testified Dec. 4, but
whose ecross-examination was postponed.
O'Connor adhered to his previous state
ment that he had received 81 from
the league in payment for moonlighting
and declared that he gave evidence be-
fore the commission simply because he
objected to perishing in the ''hell upon
EARTH" that ireland was at the present
time. On being pressed very hard by
Sir Charles the witness admitted that a
man named Walker. in behalf of the
Times. urged him to give evidence. He
further confessed to having written his
brother that he got himself summoned
by the Times, thinking to make few
pounds. but that he could not unless he
swore to queer things. Later in the day
MIR. Reid stated that Mr.. O'Brien was in
dublin, and probably would be unable
to attend tomorrow. The court was
therefore adjourned to Jan. Is.

SALISBURY AT SEA.
The British Government Has NO
Accurate Information Concern
ing Staniey's Capture.


ing Staniey's Capture.
LONDON, Dec. l4.-1n the house OF
commons this afternoon. Mr.. Smith. the
government leader, replying to Sir VIII
frid Lawson, said that so far as was
known TO the government, the letter
written by Osman Digna announces the
surrender of Emin Pasha and white
traveller. The government had no
means of knowing whether these ALE
cations were well founded. Mr.. Stan
hope. minister of war, replying to Mr..
Dillon. stated that the cost of the army
of occupation in Egypt during the cur
rent year would be 9ll0,000. This eX-
pense would be borne by Egypt. IL the
operations entaied further expenditures
the government would consider how they
should be met. The Egyptian govern
ment had approved the sending of rein
forcements to Suakim. 1t is evident
from the non-committal reply Mr.. Smith
gave to Sir Wilfrid Lawson regarding
the capture of Emin Bey and Henry NJ.
Stanley that the government are COM
pletely nonplussed, and have no accur-
rate information in the matter further
than is generally known. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that 0sman Digna
HOLDS A TRUMP CARD,
against which his opponents are power
less TO play. and that the government
can only yield on the formers own
terms. 1t is believed in the, lobbies of
the house tonight that England will
be forced to treat with the
successful commander for the evac-
uation OF Suakim for the government
Will not dare to sacrifice the prisoners
whom Osman Digma threatens to Kill
unless the town is abandoned. Public
opinion i'm England already revolts
against the Soudan expedition. and this
latest phase of the affair intensifies the
feeling. There can be scarcely any
doubt that the white traveller men,
toned as surrendering with Emin Bey
is Stanley, as everything thus far te:ids
10 confirm this opinion. The balance
of opinion among African experts has,
for some time past. accepted the theory
thar Stanley had been working towards
Eipin. and, if not with him, was near
him. Intense interest is felt here in
the fate of the intrepid explorer, and
no one for moment believes that the
government will allow his
LIFE TO BE SACRIFICED
i'm order to hold Suakim. Further de-
yelopments in the matter are awaited
with much anxiety. Dispatches from
Suakim state that Gen. Grentell has
recognized the letter enclosed in osman
Digna's as the original OF the one which
he drafted for the khedive, which the
latter handed 10 Stanley at Cairo. Thus
Stanley's capture is virtually placed be-
yond a doubt. The authorities Of the
Congo Free State have received no in
formation regarding the capture as vet.
The Emin relief expedition committee
are doubtful of the genuineness of the
Osman Digna letter. They suggest
that the khediye's letter may be a copy
stolen at Cairo. but they think il more
likely that Stanley sent on runners to
Emin with letters. and that these run
ners were captured. In anv case, they
are hopeful that even if Emin is cap
tive. Stanley is still free.

named johnson was killed by Frank
Austin, proprietor or n saloon at that

SUPPRESSION OF SLAVERY.
The German Reichstag Authorizes
the Government to Cooperate in
Christianizing Africa.

the Government to Cooperate in
Christianizing Africa.
Special Cable to the Globe.
BERLIN, Dec. 14.-In the reichstag
to-day Herr Windhorst, in moving
resolution for the suppression of the
East African slave trade, said that the
resolution was based upon the speech
from the throne. Germany should co
operate with the other powers in this
matter. The white book showed that
Prince Bismarck was following the
only correct course in regard to it, and
he hoped that he would continue in the
same direction. Full initiative should
be left to the government. The reichS-
tag should confine itself 70 formulating
general propositions. but irrespective of
religion that body should proclaim its
views on SO important subject. Sew
eral members supported the resolution.
Count Herbert Bismarck, minister of
foreign affairs, described the debate as
perfectly satisfactory and as showing a
unanimity of opinion. He said that the
situation was little changed since the
white book had been issued. Portugal
had joined the blockade at Zanzibar.
The suppression of the slave trade, said
he, devolved upon Germany as duty
to honor. 1t was the preliminary to
opening Africa to Christianity and to
European civilization and trade.
SO far England had cordially
supported Germany in this prof.
ect, and the negotiations with
France regarding 1t continued. Before
continuing operations in Africa it would
be necessary to consult persons who
were acquainted with the country and
its inhabitants, especially Lieut.. WisS-
mann. Germany would neglect nothing
that renown and honor might dictate.
The navy, however, must be relieved as
much as possible, and the formation of
colonial corps must be considered,
though the details must be reserved un-
til later. Action in the matter would
certainly be confined to the limits which
the reichstag marked out. In conclu
sion, he hoped that the reichsrag,
upon reassembing few weeks
hence, would unanimously support
the bill, which would be useful and
which would rebound to its govern
ment'S honor for many years. 1t was
estimated, continued Count Bismarck,
that 600 colonial troops would be re-
quired, thirty whites as leaders, and
500 reserves. Herr Bammberger spoke
to the resolution. He said that he
feared foreign countries might suspect
an interested policy was behind the
motion. Congratulated countries were
not comparable with East Africa, where
fever was rife and vegetation scarce.
He protested against supporting the
East African company out of the tax
payers pockets. After other speeches
had been made, both for and against the
motion, the resolution was adopted,
only the Socialists and,New Liberals
voting against it.

ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. 14.-Efforts of
the strongest kind will be put forth at
the coming session of the legislature,
by Hurley people, to secure the pass
age of a bill to divide the county of
Ashland, and to create the new county
of Mills. Through the determined OPP
position of residents of all parts of the
county, the bill was defeated in the
house two years ago. although it passed
the senate. Its champions, however.
have shown that they are not sup
pressed yet, and will work harder than
ever to secure the legislation desired.
AshlanderS and taxpayers of the towns
of Jacobs and Butternut will fight the
bill even harder than they did wOyears
ago. Especially are the farmers of the
townships named bitterly opposed to
division for the reason that in going to
the county seat of the proposed county
of Mills, they would have to pass
through this city. The bill will be
practically the same as that introduced
two years. 1t has been suggested that
the new county embrace portion of
Oneida. The old bill embraces Vaughn
township, and parts of Ashland, ia
cObS and Butternut.
