ENGLISH HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The Government Narrowly Escapes defeat.
MIR. O'Brien's Bold Speech.
LONDON, Dec. 4.-Lord Randolph
Churchill's challenge OF the policy OF
the Government of Egypt in the House
of Commons tonight was q surprise to
the conservatives, and nearly caused the
Government a serious defeat. They had
no intimation that Lord Randolph in.
tended to move to adjourn the debate in
order to censure the Government.
During the debate messengers were
sent in all directions to drum up absent
Conservative members. Atone time the
Governmentwhips, seeing that the oppo-
sition was growing in force, despaired OF
the result. The Liberals were alive to
the numerical weakness OF the minis
terial supporters and sought to cut short
the discussion in order to have an early
division. The Government, however,
succeeded in postponing division until
their benches began to show majority.
The conduct OF Lord Randolph Church.
i'll was severely censured by the Conser-
vatives.
: All the Gladstonians and Parnellites
and four Conservatives supported Lord
Randolph Churchilps motion. Several
Conservatives abstained from voting.
Lord Harrington and twenty-seven dis.
sedents supported the Government.
Mr.. 0'Brien, resuming the Irish de-
bate, made long and vigorous attack
upon Mr.. Balfour for his treatment of
John Vaudeville. He accused Mr.. Bal
four of shooting poisoned arrows at his
prisoners and then indulging in peals OF
laughter MS requiem over their graves.
The Governments defense depended
mainly upon Mr.. ,MRndeviiie's speech,
in which he stated that he was not at-
fected by his imprisonment, Was over
so ungenerous a use made of u brave
mans cheerful description OF his treat
ment? He detied Mr.. Balfour to
face the English people again and
try to do to death the Parnellites who
refused to acknowledge themselves ms
miscreants. II Mr.. Balfour was afraid TO
do this let him not imagine that such
wrongs as Mr.. Mendevilles could be
disposed OF by sarcasms OF a.girl.of.the.
period stamp. The hour OF his Condem.
nation and fall would surely come for
his levity and cOwardice.
Mr.. Baliour, replying, said he failed to
understand how gentleman using snch
flowers OF rhetoric as those employ, by
Mr.. O'Brin could accuse others OF using
coarse and brutal language. He denied
that he had described Vaudeville us a
drunkaId. The medical evidence showed
that Mr.. Vaudeville could not have con-
tracted his disease in prison, while moth
ing was more likely to cause disease:than
the life lived by him after his release.
Mr., 0'COnnor followed. His speech
was on the same lines as those Of the re.
marks OF Mr.. 0'Brien and Sir William
Vernon Harcourt. He denied various
statements made by Mr.. Baliour with
reference to Earl Spencer's statement OF
prisoners,

that the health of the Emperor is thor

The spread OF socialism appears to ef-

Uneasy under these indications OF dis

FEDERATION OF MINERS.


The Convention Meets Mt Columbus Pros
poets of n Division in the Assembly.
CoLuMuus, o., Dec. 1.-The Federation
of Miners aud Mine Laborers convened
this morning with thirty.seven delegates
present from various parts of the coun-
try. Daniel Mclaughlin, of Illinois,
was elected chairman OF the convention
and Chris Evans, Of Ohio, secretary.
The balance Of the day was taken up
in the discussion OF the topic which re-
suited in the adoption OF the following:
"RsSolUed, That we are now, as we have
always been, in favor OF one national or
ganization."
Arrangements were then made for the
Joint convention tomorrow.
District Assembly No. lS5, knights
OF Labor, also convened this morning.
W. r. Lewis, Master Workman, pre-.
sided. The convention is composed OF
about 100 delegates. The greater part OF
the day was taken up by the Committee
on Credentials, there being a number OF
delegate contests.
7, Y. PoWderly came in quietly to-day
and was in the convention for a short
time. The sentiment seems to be that
there will be division In the assembly
and that an independentminers' organi'
cation will be perfected.
1t has been learned that Grand Master
Workman Powderly played very i'm
portant part at the convention of Dis
trict Assembly 1876 Knights OF Labor this
afternoon.
A delegate said this evening the Sec
retary otthe district had sent an urgent
letter to Mr.. Powderly at Indianapolis
while the convention was in session there
that his presence here was not unex-
pected by the officers OF the
district. His presence had served
to defeat the delegation in favor OF
new miners organization. There
were divisions not entitled TO repre-
sentation. NJ. W. Lewis, of District
1876, denied that some OF the delegates
were entitled to seats. An appeal
as taken to Grand Master Workman
Powderly, and he reversed the
decision. The delegate said that
he had made q canvass at the
convention and that Mr.. Powderly's g
ruling admitting these delegates would
givea majority Of two on ballot in favor
OF Powderiy's delegates, thus defeating
the joint convention. A split is looked
/ for.

Trust Prosecution.
NEw YoRK, Dec. 4.-General Roger A.
Pryor, forthe people Of the State OF New
York, this morning, opened the Sugar
Trust prosecution before Judge Barrett,
in the special term of the Supreme
Court.
The particular trust under considera-
ton to-day was the North River Sugar
Refining Company.
In his opening address General Pryor
said that violation Of the law by per-
son called for forfeiture of his liberty,
or perhaps his life, and the violation OF
the law by u corporation requires the
forfeiture Of its charter. A trust he de-
fined as u combination OF merchants or
other persons for the purpose OF enhanc-
ing the vaIue OF any goods to the detri'
ment OF the general public. A right to
exclude competition is injurious to the
public, he continued, and that was well
exempliticd by the old saying that COM
petition was the life OF trade.

WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. 4.-The re-

count ia Charleston, W. Va, by which
Anderson tDem.l for Congress from the
Third district is given a majority OF II,
and the election OF Fleming, Democratic
candidate for Governor, is said to be
assured, did not disturb the Republican
leaders, SO they say. They assert that
their majority in the House OF the Fifty
first Congress with the West Virginia
delegation solidly Democratic will be
FIVE. The only apparent effect OF the
West Virginia news is TO slightly
strengthen the sentiment among Repnb-

that General Harrison will make his ac-
ton in this matter conform largely to
