Expedition.
A BUNGLING AFFAIR.
England on the Verge of War
Since His Advent.
The March to the SOudan an
Outrage.

LONDON, Marcn es.-The Earl gof
Roseberry, leader of the Liberal
party, made an important speech last
night before the National Liberal
federation, charging the government
with a deplorable want of continuity
in the foreign policy. He pointed out
that within six months they had been
on the verge of war with the United
States, and then with Germany, and
now they were embarking on a war
with no particular enemy. He passed
over the black and bloody page of
Armenia, he said, which English
men would all look back to
with shame and remorse. Lord Sails
bury, up to the end of December,
had displayed leanings to the Drei
bund- By the beginning of January
his continuous policy had landed
Great Britain in the arms of France,
whose affections it was intended to
gain by the monstrous Siam conven-
ton That state had lasted about
six weeks. and then Lord Salisbury
embarked in a march to the Soudan,
which outrages France and throws
Great Britain back into the arms of
the Dreibund. Lord Rosebery pro-
ceeded in detail to very strongly criti-
else the Nile expedition.
Continuing, Lord Rosebery con-
planned of the indecision and failure
of the government to take the country
into its confidence. He greatly feared
that the government was fooiing it.
self as well as the country. WAS it
the time" he asked, when we were
menaced with complications in all
quarters of the world, to scatter our
forces in the deserts of the Soudan in
awar which nobody could foresee the
end of. and to waste the money which
Egypt needed for great irrigation
woTks?" The remainder of his speech
was devoted to home politics.

Senator Hill Stirs Up a Lively
Duel of Words.
Charaeterizes an Appropriation
Bill Rider.
CONTEMPTIBLE TRICK,
An Animated Exchange With
Mr.. Elkins.
Other Senators Drawn Into the
Fight.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The SEN
ate INDUCED in an acrimonious politi-
bal debate yesterday which developed
much personal party feeling, and
brought ON two sharp personal ex-
changes between Mr. Hill and Mr..
Elkins, and between Mr.. Brice and
Mr. Elkins The controversy arose
over Mr.. Hills motion to strike from
the pending appropriation bill the pro-
posed change of the date of assem-
bling the New Mexico legislature from
December to May. Mr.. Hill bitterly
denounced the change as a political
trick which had been ''sneaked into"
this appropriation bill in order, as he
claimed, to postpone the meeting of
the Democratic Legislature in the hope
that Repu blican President would be
elected and the political control of the
territory changed. Mr.. Elkins pro-
tested against the words ''sneaked
in The exchanges between the SEN
ators was very animated, but Mr.. Hill
persisted in the use of his adjectives-
Later Mr.. Brice sought to question
Mr.. Elkins, when the latter brought
up the offensive personal dispatch
which had been sent to MIR. Brice from
New Mexico. The debate took wide
range, Senators German, Faulkner,
Cockrel1 and other Democrats taking
the provision as political, while Sena-
tors Elkins, Carter, Cullom and other
Republican Senators defended it. Mr..
Cullom sought to table Mr. Hills mo-
ton, but motion to this effect failed,
e to %, whereupou Mr.. CulIom yield
ed to the Hill motion and the New
Mexico motion was struck ont.
At the close of the day the Senate
passed the Legislative appropriation
bill, carrying ST. 500, 600. Aside from
providing the usual appropriations,
the bill is important, effectiug a re-
form of the system of compensation
for United States district attorneys
and marshals, salaries being substi-
tuted for fees. The Senate adjourned
until Monday.

Herriok Duggan of the Royal st. Lawrence
Yacht club, the Canadian challenger for
the Seawanhaka cup. The Importance of
Mr.. Duggan in yachting circles was large
ly enhanced by the withdrawal of the ohal-
lenge of Mr.. Linton Hope, who, through
the Royal Corinthian Yacht club was to
have represented England in the contest
of the coming season.
His enthusiasm as yachtsman is but 8
single feature of Mr.. Duggan' S interesting
personality. He is a native of Toronto,
"a years old, and is very much of a man in
both character and physique. He was ed
ucated to be a civil and mechanical en-
gineer After the completion of the Cana
dian Pacific railroad across the continent,
in which work he was engaged, he accepted
a position with the Dominion Bridge COM
pany of Montreal, where, by reason of
rapid and deserved promotion, he became
chief engineer.
He has resided in Montreal during the
past ten years, devoting the greater part of
his leisure to yachting His wife, who is
a native of Montreal, is said to be one of
the most expert yachtswomen in the Royal
St. Lawrence Yacht club.
Mr.. Duggan, besides being the crack
yachtsman of his club, is good all around
athlete and football player.
While living in Toronto Mr.. Duggan
was instrumental in forming the Toronto
Yacht club and was elected captain of that
organization; he was also one of the three
gentlemen who called the first meeting of
the Lake Yacht Racing association, an or

New YORK. March 2s-R. G. DUN 81
Co. 3 Weekly Review of Trade says:
No important change has occurred
in the general condition of business
during the week, and if trade in some
respects looks worse, in other respects
it looks better. Some failures of mag
nTtude have occurred, which have
caused much apprehension and I'M
willingness to lend among bankers
and there have been somewhat less
favorable features in the dry goods
market, but in iron and steel condi-
tons are slightly improved and in
boots and shoes considerabl more
hopeful The labor controversies.
mainly in the clothing trade, still
cause much interruption of that bust
ness Foreign trade is a little more
satisfactory, exports from New York
for three weeks showing an increase
over last year of per cent, while inn
ports have shown nearly the same
rate of decrease, and there are not
wanting signs that the domestic mar
kets have been somewhat overloaded
with many kinds of foreign goods. In
general the course of domestic prices
tends to favor the marketing of sta
plies abroad.
Wheat has gained about a point, but
corn and cotton remain unchanged:
Cotton had a lively rise with the COW
ering of short sellers, but began to
decline a week ago and has been lag
ging ever since. In the dry goods
market the latest indications do not
warrant expectations that the mills
will continue full production through
out the season. A striking feature
this week has been a sale of $50, 900
pounds of American wool for ship
ment to England.
A heavy failure in Texas will also
swell the aggregate of returns for the
past week, which includes 259 in the
United States, against 234 last year,
and SO in Canada, against AZ last year
