Churchill Makes Another Dash,
HE NEARLY CAUSES TUE GOVERNMENTS DEFEA
ON THE SOUDAN QUESTION

HE NEARLY CAUSES TUE GOVERNMENTS DEFEAT
ON THE soUDAN QUESTION.
Lord Randolph Churchill made another of
his unexpected onslaughts on the government
in the house of commons last night on the
Egyptian question and again nearly caused a
defeat of the ministry. Churchill moved to
adjourn the debate in order to discuss the send
ing of troops to Suakim. He said he believed
the government was going against the advice
OF high military authorities. Within a few
days battle would be fought between British
ana Egyptian troops and Arab tribes. For
what end were a mere handful of British sole
diers exposed to the risk of an encounter with
the Soudanese? They were a totally made
quate force, and the presence of 1000 utterly
unreliable Egyptians did not remove the dan
ger. He implored the house to prevent re-
newed slaughter in the Soudan.
Mr.. Stanhope, secretary for war. said that
Lord Randolph spoke without knowledge The
black battalions at Suakim were most uniustly
styled unreliable The English troops who
were going to Egypt were, in the opin-
ion Of the military authorities there, ad-
equate for the purpose. Lord Randolph's
motion was defeated by vote of 23l to 1879.
The conservatives. who are very indignant at
Churchilrs action. were for time alarmed
about the result of vote, as they were clearly
In minority when the motion was sprung on
them. They succeeded. however. in prolong-
ing the debate until their whips had rallied
the conservative members

The Sugar Trust Prosecution.
GEN. PRYOR OPENS THE PROCEEDINGS IN BEHA1
OF THE PEOPLE OLE NEW YORK

GEN. PRYOR OPENS THE PROCEEDINGS IN BEHALF
OF THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK.
Gen. Roger A. Pryor, for the people of the
state of New York, yesterday opened the sugar
trust prosecution before Judge Barrett, in the
special term Of the supreme court in New York
city. The particular trust under consideration
yesterday was the North River Sugar Re-
filming company. In his opening address Gen.
Pryor said that a violation by person of the
law called for the forfeiture of his liberty. or,
perhaps his life, and the violation of the law
by corporation required the forfeiture of its
charter A trust he defined as a combination
of merchants or other persons for the purpose
Of enhancing the value Of any goods to the
detrinent of the general public. right to
exclude competition is injurious to the public,
he continued. and that was well exemplifed by
the old saying that competition was the life of
trade. Ex-Chief Justice DAILY opened for the
defense, taking the ground that combinations
TO promote commerce were lawful, and had
been recognized as such by English law since
the time of James 1. The object of the sugar
combination was to promote economy. protect
the refineries against unlawful combination of
workmen, and give all refineries the benefit of
the appliances OF any one refinery.

Getting Up a Corner in Nails,

A PITTsBURG FIRM BUYS MOST OF THE STOCK
NOW on HAND AND PRICES MAY GO Up.
Thomas G.. Boyle 4 Co., the iron brokers in
Pittsburg, Monday purchased twenty thousand
kegs of nails. The purchase was made at
Wheeling, Bellaire, and other towns in that
vicinity. The large part of the order is for
parties in the south, but part of it will also
go west. A little over a week ago the same
firm bought $1,000 kegs of nails. This with
the purchase made Monday, comprises the
time, and virtually gives the firm complete
control of the nail market. 1t may result in
an advance in prices. 1t does not. however,
seem probable that this state of affairs will
continue long. A large number of nail mills
are now idle, and when the demand increases
it seems probably that some of the mills at
least will start up.

Queen and Empress.

TOUCHING DEVOTION OF ENGLAND's SOVEREIGN
TO HER DAUGHTER.
Edmund Yates in New York Tribune
Those who see them together say that moth
ing is more touching than the absolute unset
fishness of the devotion of the queen to the
Empress Frederick. The queens one thought
from morning to night is to minister to her
daughters comfort and to endeavor to dimin-
ish her grief. The smallest wish of the en-
press is attended to and carried out with the
most affectionate assiduity. The empress is
looking very worn and tired and sleeps badly
but the rest and quiet of Windsor. which she
enjoys thoroughly and which she and her
daughters never weary of expatiating on, are
already beginning to have good effect ON her
health and spirits.
TOUCHING VISIT OF COINCIDENCE.
There was something very touching in the
visit of the queen and the Empress Frederick
to Stafford house on Tuesday. The rain was
falling in torrents as they alighted from the
close carriage which brought them from Pad
dington. The empress wore heavy Golf of
Grape. which Prussian etiquette prescribes
Lady Churchill, also a widow, carried large
cross of white flowers which the queen had
prepared with her own hands. Lord Tarbat
received them at the door. They at once fol-
lowed him upstairs to the room where the
duchess was lying. and the queen placed the
cross beside the body of the dead friend The
recollection of the last visit she paid to Stafford
House in the company of her husband caused
the empress to burst into tears. Both she and
the queen remained for some time in the green
library, where the queen spoke many words of
womanly sympathy to Lord and Lady Stafford
Lord and Lady Tarbat, Lord Ronald Cover
and Lady Alexandra Leveson Cover, who were
there. and expressed strong hope that the duke
OF Sutherland would Quickly return to England
ROYAL ECONOMY.
There is no attempt to disguise the object Of
the economical reforms in the royal household
1t has become clear that no parliament will
sanction grants to the grandchildren of the
queen, excepting only the children of the
Prince of Wales, So her majesty considers it
her imperative duty to save as much money as
possible in order that all her descendants may
be adequately provided for by herself 1t is
quite certain that the duke of Connaught and
Princess Beatrice will be the queens principal
heirs. Her majesty has three other families to
look after-namely, those of the late duke of
Albany, of Princess Christian, and Of the late
Princess Alice

A PRINCES BRIDE.
Miss Woodville, of Baltimore, to Wed
Prince Won Pless.

| From the Baltimore American.
The announcement by cable in the An,eri-

the German embassy at Paris, to a Bal
| timore lady, was somewhat of a surprise
| to her friends and relatives in this city. The
Ayoung lady in question is Miss Bessie Wood
| vile, who, although Baltimorean has been
living in France for a number of years.
Miss Woodville's relatives all knew of the
attention paid her by the German prince.
but they hardly believed it would result in
an engagement. The young lady at present
is living with her mother at Bairritz, France.
and Prince Pless has been in the habit of
going down to her maison several times a
month and dining with Mrs. Woodville and
her daughter. The prince has been at
tentive to Miss Woodville for several
years, but his mother objected to the
match, as her son was second son, and was
not very wealthy, and on that account the
friends of Miss Woodville did not expect to
hear OF an engagement Prince Pless'
brother, however, is not well, and has been
confined in private asylum for the last few
years. The prince is tall, rather ine-looking
man, over forty years of age Miss Woodville
has sent his photographs to several of her rel
atlves here. Miss Woodville has lived abroad
over twelve years. She was one of
the most beautiful of Baltimore's fam
Gus beauties, and when she went

membered here, although she has not

many relatives residing in the city, and,
naturally, the news of her engagement to the
prince has caused much talk among them.
