Debate i'm the Hoase Of Commons on
 She Abandonment of Suakim-GIad-
 stone FRvors Withdrawal.
 LONDON, Dec. 17.-In the House of Com. mons today Lord Randolph Churchill asked what would be the estimated cost of sending achievements to Suakim, and whether it was the intention of the government to i'm pose the whole or part of the expense upon Egypt.
 MT. John Morley declared that it would be repugnant to the house to separate without learning whether steps could be taken to avert the threatened fate of Emin Bey and MT. Stanley. He urged the government to issue proclamation to the coast tribesmen stating that whatever happened Egyptian dominion would not be extended an inch be> yond Suakim. Did the government, MT. Morley asked, consider military operations so paramount that it would not suspend them if they endangered Emin Bey and Mir. Stan- ley.
 Mir. Gladstone said he would assume that any negotiations with the dervishes might give so little encouragement that they could not be attempted as fixed policy. It was essential to determine whether the occupa- tion should be British or Egyptian. If Egyp- tian, it would be mischievous, while British occupation was necessary. The matter ought to be submitted to the judgment ot the House. He himself was averse to any occu- patton.
 Lord Randolph Churchill said he regretted the resumption of course which he had de- nounced when it was taken by the Liberals and still he denounced it.
 MT. Morley in order to obtain division moved to reduce the vote for embassies by s300. The motion was rejected by vote of 165 against 76.

SPORTING MATTERS.

The New Ravens Lose Their Twelfth
 Game-Hartford still Keeping Us Conn panE.
 Bridgeport 4, New Haven g..
 The game was lively one throughout. New Haven on the whole played a better
 game than the visitors, but the fates were against them in the person of John Smith, who made twenty-five stops to eight by La tions. The latter could not stop balloon.
 It can be safely said that Smith defeated New Haven.
 Bridgeport made the first two goals, the
 second on clever run by Pierce. Neweomb made New Haven's first, after he and Con- nors had hit the ball at Smith four times in quick succession. Connors tied the score on drive from the side Bridgeport got ahead on an accident by Lations. As he jumped
 in the air to stop Pierce's driue the ball struck his pad and bounded in. The excitement was intense when New Haven for the second time tied the score on a beautiful pass fro m Valiant to Connors. The hopes of the spec- tators died away when next Frazer hit from the center and the ball went past Lations There was three minutes left, but Pierce made the third foul, which took away feul and still left the score tie. The bell rang for the forty minutes, but twelve seconds later Pierce caged the bali. The score:

THE OHIO WHITE CAPS.

Governor FOraker Says a Detective
 Has Disclosed the Names of All
 Members.
 COLUMBUS, O., Dec. Ex-Governor Fora- ker said last night that detective had been among the White Caps since the first report of their outrages in this State, and that the names of all members and the secrets of the order had been secured with such other evil denee as would bring any offender to justice. He said that none of the members had been summoned to his office, but that several of them had come voluntarily, being frightened by the possibility of prosecution, and the re- sul of their visit was that the organization had been permanently abandoned and the members had consented to quit their line of conduct The Governor said that the White Caps were @ regular organized secret bsdy, but that they had no connection with the or ganizstion of White Caps in Indiana. They were divided into lodges and the entire order was under a general officer known as 8 Colonel" There were nine lodges in Ohio with membership of about one thousand, among whom were many of the best citizens of the communities in which they were or-

A PARTISAN APPOINTMENT.

The Worst SIanderer of General Har-
 rison is Appointed Attorney for the
 District of Indfana-Wfll the Choice
 be COnfirmed2
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The appointment of Leon o. Bailey to be United States attor- ney for the district of Indiana, sent to the Senate to-day, is regarded as one of the most important political appointments made by this administration. It created a sensation among the Indiana people at the Capitol. Bailey is the man who during the recent cam paign collected the afidavits of Gould and others affirming the charges that Harrison had said that $1 day was enough pay for a workingman and that Harrison had ordered strikers shot down. These charges were in corporated in a speech made by Bailey and thousands of copies of this speech were cir culated as 8 campaign document. Bailey has been the assistant district attorney for Indiana. It is certain that every effort will be made to prevent his confirmation in his new position, and the chances in favor of the rejection ot the nomination, or at least it's suspension until the time of adjourn ment.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-No news has been
 received at the Navy department in regard to
 the Galena and Yantic since their departure
 from New York and none is expected for
 several days yet, notwithstanding the fact that the vessels will be due at Port au Prince tomorrow. It is the impression of many naval officers that the steamer Haytien Re- public will have been surrendered and be on her way to New York bsfore the Galena and the Yantic arrive at Post-au- Prince, and in that case the matter of indemnity will then be the only thing to be settled.

Yale Orchestra and GIee Club Concert.
 Despite the weather about three hundred people attended the concert last evening at Loomis hall by the Yale orchestra, assisted by the Glee club, and more satisfied audi ence never assembled there. The orchestra, which consists of twenty four pieces, showed much evidence of its careful training by Mir. Stack and was twice encored.
 The Glee club seemed to take minor part in the entertainment for they were only down for three selections, but they were all well rendered and they received encores three times. They will undoubtedly be we'll re- eeiyed everywhere on their tour.

General Alger said that his visit had no po-

General Al. ger had not seen General Harrison since elec- fion, and but once or twice since his nomi naEion.

Entertainments.
 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 MT. Edwin Thorne and his company played the sensational drama ''The Right Man" to a small audience at the New Haven Opera House last evening. The scene of the play is laid among the English coast mines and deals with strikes, explosions and all the trials which beset miners life. The scene repre- senting the bottom of . coal mine was very realistic and was warmly applsuded. The closing denouement was very effective and dramatic. The play will be repeated this evening, and weather permitting, will doubt less attract larger audience.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The London Speciality company began three nights engagement at the Grand last night to crowded house despite the bad weather. The company IS good one through out. Several old faces are seen. There will be matinee to-day. In the museum hall Hop O my Thumb, who weighs only nine pounds, created sensation. Big Alice, the fat beauty, is still there.
 MRS. LANGTRY.
 Mrs. Langtry will appear st the Hyperion Friday evening next az Lena Despard in "As in Looking Glass" Her success in this role is characterized by ease, grace and piquancy. She reflects the picture that all men and women in their hearts know to be true of the am bilious woman-careless of the means she employees. She has been having great suc- cess in the play in many cities. THE MESSIAH oRAroRIo. It has been long time since the oratorio of the Messiah has been heard in this city, but lovers of classical music will have an op- portunity to hear 1t we'll rendered at the St. John street N. B. church Thursday evening, Dec. 27. The exchange of tickets for re- l served seats can now be made at Loomis' Temple.
 THE LiTTTE TYCOON. A geod-sized audience were treated to SPencer's 'Little Tycoon" at the Hyperion Theater last night. Though the opera has been sung here several seasons, it seems to
 retain to large degree its popularity, and the good points are almost as well and as loudly applauded as when the music was first heard here. The company contains most of ! the singers who had the leading parts on | their appearance last season, and the pro. l duction was on the whole considerable in- provement. Miss Linyard as Violet, the leading female part, has made the most of | her singing. Thomas l.. Seabrooke has been heard very often and is as acceptable ! as ever in his role of General | Knickerbocker. Elvie Crox as Dolly | Dimple and Miss Sanger as Miss Hurricane were exceedingly droll and lively. Joseph | Mealy sustained his reputation as humor- l ist in the part of Teddy, and MT. Wilson's ! favorite voice was heard to good advantage | in the part of Alvin Aarry. The singing of I the chorus was spirited and their dancing and marching vigorous and pleasing. The cos- | tunes are fully as rich and striking ss ever.
 The performance will be given again this evening
