LONDON, Dec. 3.-There is a rapidly
growing belief that the movement in
favor of lending the aid OF British
troops to the Egyptian garrison at Sua-
kim will lead to the Inauguration of
fresh Soudan campaign, which will in
clude the recapture of KhartOum, if it
does not even 90 further. It is proposed
that troops be sent 10 Suakim to assist
the Egyptians in driving the rebels back
into the interior, but nobody favoring
the project has yet been found who
Will say even approximately how far
inland the Arab hordes investing

that its development into another Sou
danese fiascO, involving useless expend-
iture of life and money on the part of
England and the further impOverish-
ment of Egypt, will be popularity ap-
plauded is extremely questionable.
Concerning the movement, the st. James
Gazette declares that smashing of the
Mahdi at KhartOum is the only way in
which to obtain and maintain ultimate
quiet and relieve Egypt from the ever
present danger of being overwhelmed
by an thrush of barbarians. Of course
the movement meets with general ap-
proval in military circles because of the
opportunities of promotion which pro-
tracted campaign won d afford.

NEW YsRK, Dee. 3.-Phil DAILY, the
well-known sporting man and prOprie
tor of the Pennsylvania club house at
Long Branch, was shot and slightly
wounded to-day while resisting an at
tempt to levy blackmail upon him at
his house, 406 Fourth avenue. DAILY has
been residing at the Coleman house, in
this city, for the past few weeks. He
made the acquaintance of Addie Stan
ton, aged twenty-five, a pretty woman
and alleged dressmaker, who lived with
Ella Hammond, aged thirty, on the sec
ond floor of the house mentioned. He
visited Miss Stanton several times, and
on Saturday received note, re-
auesting him to call at o'clock to-day,
which he did. He had $1,000 In cash
and $4,000 in bonds in his pockets,
which he intended to put in deposit
vault during the day. While cOnvers-
ing with Miss Stanton, the folding
doors between the two rooms Of the flat,
opened and two men walked in. The
larger of the two held handkerchief
before his features, drew a revolver.
and babe Daily throw up his hands. The
smaller made no hostile move. DAILY
rushed at and grappled with the holder
of the revolver.
THE WEAPON WAS DISCHARGED.
and the ball grazed Days temple and
buried itself in the wall of the room.
The shock caused DAILY to release his
hold upon his assailant, who at once
fed. followed by his companion. DAILY
started in pursuit, but by the time he
reached the street the men had dlsap-
peared. Daily told a passing policeman
what had happened, and went into a
drug store and had his wound dressed.
The policeman arrested Miss Stanton
and also Miss Hammond, who was
found in another part of the house,
and DAILY made complaint of at
tempted robbery against them.
Miss Stanton protested complete igno-
rance of any plot. She swore she had
never seen the two men before, and she
considered DAILY a good friend. and had
sent for him on personal matter. She
could not account for the advent of the
two strangers. Miss Hammond was
equally innocent. Both were locked up.
DAILY went away, and could not be found
up to late hour tonight. Several de-
tectives are searching for the black
mailers. A trunk found in the women's
room containing number OF letters
from men was cOnfiscated by the pO-
lice. Miss Stanton is well known
woman of the town. The Hammond
woman is not known to the police.
Though she at first denied all knowl-
edge of the affair, she afterward said
she thought Days assailant was man
named Hammond, with whom she had
been living and who was formerly but
Ter in an up town hotel. She saw him
hurriedly leave the house. She claims
to know nothing of the other man. The
tenants of the house give the two
women bad character.

ROTTING IN A TRENCH.
The Body of An Unknown Man
DiSCOt red in q Hydraut Pit.

CHlCAGG, Dec. 8. - This morning
workmen, upon raising the sidewalk
around a hydrant on DesplaineS street,
were driven back by horrible stencil.
The removal of a loose board or two dis
closed the body at the bottom of the
well shaped pit. Officers who were at
once summoned from the station across
the street were forced to use blanket
in getting at the remains and lifting
them into the patrol wagon. DecompO-
sition had rendered the features indis-
tinguishable, but the clothing was quite
well preserved. As nearly as the officers
could judge, the body was that of man
twenty-five years old and six feet tall.
He wore dark trousers with red stripe,
dark blue coat and vest. In one pocket
note book was found which was filed
with names, cards and records of one
kind and another. Apparently, the
name of the Inflated man was Frank p,
Dickerson. The latest entry was the
following:
july 9, 1888. Will Spears: This is friend
OF mine, and II you can give him any work
as 1 save a little more money. i am
still working at the shoe business. Your
brother, GEORGE w. SPEAEs.
The name of George w. Spears is not
to be found in the directory. Other adj
dresses in the book were: Mrs. c. ID.
Mason, 34S Stevenson avenue, Pullman,
and Mrs. ID. Fl. Dickerson, 233
Wiss avenue, Pullman. The Of
ficers hope that the articles thus
found in the pockets of the clothes
will lead to the identity of the body.
The natural conclusion that the man
crawled under the sidewalk and died
there is rendered improbable from the
fact that from the position of the body
it must have been pushed into the hole
where it was found. The feet were up
permOst and the body had apparently
been thrust down so roughly between
the iron pipe and the brick wall that
the head was beaten to one side against
the bricks and the legs were bent up
against the pipe.
1t has now developed that the body is
that of the man who murdered Charles
GundersOn last August. At that time
the latJer's body was found by some
boys within three feet of the place in
which DickersOn's body was found to-
day, but strange to say, the police
failed to discover any other than Gund-
ersOn's, who, as an autopsy showed, had
broken neck. Suspicion at once
pointed to foul play, and search was
begun for DickersOn. who was Gunder-
sons roommate and who had been the
last man seen with Gunderson when he
was alive The search was terminated
by the discovery of Dickerson's body
to-day.

SIOUX CITY, To-, Dee. 3.-A bold at

ing. The night Waterman went into

served in the same manner, and their
assailants, eight in number. then
worked for over two hours in an un-
successful attempt to open the large
safe, which contained several thousand
dollars in currency. Four holes were
drilled and powder placed therein. but
the explosion failed to Shatter the doors
sufficiently to allow the robbers to get
at the contents. They then took what
money their prisoners had about their
persons, and left after releasing the en-
gineer, so that he could attend to his
engine, which he assured them might
blow up and do great damage. There is
no clue whereby any of the gang can be
identified, but they are thought to be
thoroughly familiar with the house and
with the men on duty at night.

five mil from the city. He was of
medium build, probably forty years OF
age and fairly well clothed. The man

LONDON, Dec. 3.-In the house of
commons this evening the committee on
Irish estimates reported an appropria-
ton of G12, 707 to complete the sum of
E40,707 necessary for the expenses of
the Office of the chief secretary for Ire
land. JOnn E. Ellis, Liberal member
for RuShclitfe, moved reduction of the
appropriation, the purpose of his motion
being, as he stated, to raise a general
debate on Mir. BaIfour's administration.
He severely arraigned Mr.. Balfour for
his cruelty and oppression, and as
serted that his entire administration
has been conspicuously characterized
by vindictiveness and malignancy.
Mir. BalfOur retorted that the statements
made by MIR. Ellis contained great
deal of nonsense. If the country ull-
derstood the criminal methods by which
political objects were advocated in Ire
land-if the character of the alliance
attending the opposition were revealed.
the verdict would not be with Mr..
Gladstone. Mr.. Gladstone responded
in a series of caustic criticisms of Mr..
Balfour's administration, speaking at
considerable length. Referring to the
MitchellStown murders, he assumed for
the Conservatives that nothing but their
repentance could account for their
silence concerning that mistake. The
perpetrators of these outrages were as
yet unpublished, but what, he asked.
could be expected OF government up
holding such an incompetent magis-
tracy? Mr.. Balfour replied, asserting
that the government had acted with
tull justice in the cases of all alleged
outrages. The country. he declared,
was tired of the statements which the
opposition was constantly serving up
anew.
After further discussion in the same
strain, the debate was adjourned on
motion of William O'Bren.

that they are Sin the hands of their
friends" which is equivalent to an adj
mission that they will make the fight.
The friends of the other candidates say
that Mr.. Reed is handicapped by the
fact that he comes from the East. 1t
was we'll enough, they say, to give him
complimentary caucus nomination
when the Republicans were in the
minority. but they do not think the Re-
publican party can give the speaker
ship to Maine under the existing politi-
cal conditions. The contest between
these candidates promises to be a lively
one, and there are several dark horses
in the field ready to 90 in and make the
race if the leaders are crowded off the

Seventeen of I hem Disposed of by
the Proprietor Of a Baby Farm
Now in Limbo.
LONG ISLAND CITY, L. l.. Dec. s.
Mary Parnell. aged twenty-five. colored,
living in Astoria, was arraigned in court
to-day charged with keeping baby
farm. She was remanded. During the
past three months seventeen infants
have been found on the doorsteps of
houses in this city. The regu-
laritv with which they were
found and their similarity of
condition when found, all being alive
and apparently healthy. led the police
to believe that they were disposed of by
the same person, and that such person
was in the baby farming business. The
efforts of the police to discover any
clue to the farm or its owner were
fruitless. Accident revealed both.
Oyerseer of the Poor Talon was noti-
fed on Saturday that white child was
dead at the house of Mrs. Parnell,
who said she was too poor to
paw the burial expenses. When MI.
Talon called at the house and saw there
other white infants, he notified the pO-
lice. From Mrs. Purnell herself they
learned that the dead infant, which was
three months old, and two others about
the same age, had been obtained by her
from Mrs. Koahler, midwife. of New
York, she receiving $40 with each
one. A child of Jewish parentage,
now eighteen months old and another
fifteen weeks old she says she got
from Mrs. Morgan, also of New York.
Mrs. Purnell claims to have been sent
to the women mentioned by DIR. Cook,
of New York. The police have salts
factorily proved that within three weeks
the woman has had six infants in her
care. She has no license to keep baby
farm. 1t is supposed that Mrs. Purneil
has been doing profitable business by
taking the infants at $50 each and after
few days getting rid of them
by leaving them at night on door
steps. The Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children of Brooklyn has
taken hold of the case and requested
the New York authorities to look after
Mrs. Koahler and Mrs. Morgan. The
police are sanguine of fixing the charge
of abandonment in all the seventeen
cases upon Mrs. Pernell and of unearth-
ing some unwholesome places in New
York
