The news of the defeat of Baker Pasha in the Soudan, wlillo attempting to relieve tho garrison of Tokar, created Intense excitement in London. Littlo elso was talked of among tho members of Parliament and tho various attaches of the Government. Much criticism of the policy of tho Government in the management of affairs In Egypt has again boon renewed. lord Salisbury severely condemns th$ eourfo which has been pursued throughout, and tauntingly ncouses the administration of having again displayed its usual optimtsiical policy, although In the fnoo of almost ccria'n disaster. From tho mass of cable dispatches mlatlngto Bakor Paslm's defeat, we compile tho following succinct account of the diststrous affair: Bakor was led into ambush by a sheik, wbo, pretending to be friendly, asserted that tho rebels in tbe vicinity of Tokar numbered less than four thousand men, many of whom wore unarmed, while thoro were in fact 30,000 wellarmed men under Sheik Khndlr and Osman Diqua, awaiting his approach. The biiocoss of tho rebel stratagem was complete, Baker Pasha's forces being taken by surprise. After a short encounter, during which the Egyptian troors undor Baker Pasha's command displayed tho utmo-t cowardice, hij force was muted, and fled in all directions only a small remnant o.;cap ng along tho road bat-K to Trlnkltat. Buker Pasha lost his entire equipment of guns cannons, stores, and a np utensils, linker Pasha himself -was among tho small number of fugitives lhat escaped from tho field, and reacheJ the coast In safety. Tho fight hpfran by a few Arab borscmon attacking Baker Pasha's cavalry, which fled. Baker formed a square, which the enemy surrounded. The rest of tho Egyptians then fled in confusion and tho gunners deserted thoirguns. Baker Pasha was several times surrounded by the enemy, but, with his staff managed to out his way through. Tho enemy's force was Inferior in numbers to Baker Pasha's. Only three sides of a square were formed, owing to the faot that two companies of Egyptian troops stoo 1 still, overcome with fright. Tho enemy poured into this gap, whon tho Egyptians threw away their rlPes and flung themselves i on tho ground, screaming for mercy. Tho troops on one side of tho square killed many of their own men by wild tiring. Tho enemy betrayed profound contempt for their opponents. The Egyptian cavalry threw away their saddles

and turned their horsos loose, effecting a re

treat on foot, in order that they might not bo

sent back to right again. The slaughter of

Baker's torcca continued all tho way back to Trinkitat. The Egyptians wero panio stricken and fell upon their knees, but their appeals

for mercy wero fruitless. Tho Arabs seized

them by tbelr necks, thrust spears

into their backs, und savagely cut

their throats. Tho Englishmen missing are Maurice Boy, Surgeon I-cslio, Capts. Foster and Walker, Liouts. Carroll, Smith, and Watkins. Ten other foreign olHeers are missing. The fugitives, huddled together on the shore at Trlnkltat, might easily have been slaughtered, but tho enomy gave over the pursuit. Tho mon embarked as quloklv as possible upon six transports lying there, and, with

Baker and Col. Sartoris, arrived at midnight

at suakim. Tbe renels captured nve guns, 36,000 pounds of cannon ammunition, 3,000 Tit'es. and an enormous quantity of cartridges. tevfik bev's fohce annihilated. A Suakim dispalob says that the enemy surrounded and destroyed Tewfik Bey and 400 followers between Sinkat and tbe coast, while attempting io cut their way through tho enemy. A Cairo dispatch reports that tribes beyond Korosko are In full revolt. Gen. Gordon, wbo has arrived at Korosko, is uuablo to proceed on his journey to Khartoum.

MURDERED BT ROBBERS,

Wendell Phillips, the "sllror-tonguod orator," is doad. After an agonizing Illness he expired peacefully at his homo In Boston on the d of February. Mr. Phillips was siok for seven days with angina pectoris, a disease to which his fatherand two brothers succumbed. Ills last publlo address, at tho unveiling of Harriet Martinoau's statue, a month before, had been a severe tax upon him, and lie seemed to feel keenly the wimliir of his physical and inontul power. Mr. I-hill1)) bad bad one or two intimations of heart trouble, so that tho final attack was hardly a surprise lo himself or family. He was conseiou" through it all, but ho renlt-od h day or two ago that It was an uin-.,ul struggle, and told his physicians Dial he should die. When It became evident that his life could not be spared, the physicians devoted their energies simply to rendering morn peaceful bis last hours. During tbe more severo attacks of pain he was kept partially under tbo influence of nme-thetics, bet his suffering was still great. Gradually ho sank lowor, keeping consciousness to the Inst. His inialid wifo and other members uf bis family were about the bed during tho last hours, and ho recognized them s'.I. He Hko but littlo, and bis last words. about a mattor of porfonal comfort wore spokou about half an hour before the end came. Wendell Phillii s was born iu Boston, Nov. SO, 1H11. His lather was John Phillips, the first Mayor of Boston. Wendell graduated at Harvard Coilei-0 In 131, at the law school in 1033, and was admitted to the bar in 1831. Three years after beginning the practice of his profession In his native city he became known to tho public at- tin eloquent advocate of tho nnti-slavery, tomwrance, and wo:n-an's-rights reforms, thou bcinz earnestly agitated, and continued his indefatigable labors during tho conflict of opinion on tho slavery question which preceded the civil war. In 1M6 ho became a Garrison Abolitionist, having been a warm admirer of Garrison and an enthusiast on tho unti-s'arery quostion for matiy years, f-'o strong were his convictions on the slavery question that in 18ifl he rellnqulshol law praetho from unwillingness to observe the oa h of fealty to the Federal Constitution. His first notable speech was made in Faneuil Hall, in liocember, 1H37. K. P. Lovcjoy. bad been murdered by a mob at Alton, 111.,' where he was publishing a taper of tbe most

j radical anti-slavery opinions. Dr. Charming,

oi Asosion, uuu caiioa un inuignauun meoir ingat Fnneul! Hall. James T. Austin, tho Attorney General of tho State of Massachusetts, apologised for tho bloody deed of the mob, and said that Lovcjoy whs presumptuous and imprudent, and that "be died as tbe fool dieth." Wendell l'billips, then a young man fresh from college, replied to the vindicator of mob violence. Fellowoltizens," raid be, " is this Faneuil Hail doctrine? The mob at Alton wero mot to wrest from a citizen his just rights met to resist tbe laws. We have been told that our fathers' did tho eamo, and the glorious mantle of Revolutionary precedent has been thrown over the mobs of our day! Sir, when I heard tho gentleman lay down principles, whioh place tbe murderers of Alton side by ei('e with Otis and Hancock, with Qulnoy and Adams, I thought those pictured lips pointing to tho portraits iu tbo hall would have broken into voieo to robuke tbe reeroant American, tbo slanderer of tho dead. Great sensation and applause.) Tho gentleman said that be should sink nto signittcanco If ho dared to gainsay tho principles of these resolutions. Sir, for the sentiments he has uttered on soil consecrated by tbe prayers of puritans and tho blood of patriots, tbo earth should have yawned and swallowed him. James Otis thundered in this hall, when the King did but touch his pocket. Imagine, if you can, bis indignant eloquence had England offered to put a gag upon his tips." From that time till is Mr. Phillips was a prominent loader and the most popular orator of tho abolitionists. He advocated disunion as tho only road to abolition until tbe opening of tho civil war, after which ho sustained tho Government for a similar reason. In 18U-4 he advocated arming, educating, and enfranohislng the fteedmen, and tor the two latter purposes procured tbe continuance of the Antl Slavery Society till alter tbe adoption of tho fifteenth amendment Jn 18w. Probably tbe last public act of Mr. Phillips was to writo, tho day before he died, a letter to Bov. Dr. Miner, urging that he and all other friends of humanity go to tbo Superior court at Worcester tho next day and urge that a light sentence bo imposed on Burnham WardaeU, "tho prisoners' friend," who was to be fontenced on that day for uttering a criminal libel on tbe Sheriff of that county. The letter was written against tbe protest of air. Phillips' ph-. s elan, who said that even so slight an exertion might result fatally. The singular fact that Mrs. Phillips survives ber husband excites much comment. When they wero married about thirty years ago, she was a hoplo;s Invalid, an". ens reason for ber uniting herself to Mr. Phillips washer great desiro that herforiune, whioh was considerable, might be devoted to tho cause of anti-slavery. She expected to die soon and thus seal her devotion to tho cause in which her aSection was centered. During the ensuing years Mrs. Phillips has lingered helpless, the object of ber husband's constant love. Many touching incidents of Mr. Phillips' attention to his wife are told.

A Committee Triumph at Washington. (Washington Telegram.) The Committee on Railways and Canals, acting in accordance with tho wishes of the Illinois and Iowa delegations in Congress, adopted Judge Murphy's bill Instead of that or Mr. Cullom. Tho former provides for oonstn c:ing tho Hennepin canal, which would tlve the advantage o! water communication fio n Chicago to tho Miss ssii'Ul at an earlier period, while Mr. Cullom's bill simply provides for the acceptance end enlargement of tho Illinois and Mb higati canal.

The Land Grants of Several Southern

Bonds Declared Forfeited by Congress. (Washington Telegram.) Congress gave' an assurance to-day Jan.

81 of its Intention with reference to alj

lapsed land grants by qulekly disposing of tho batch of grants to Southern roads and resistinir a stronr annoal from representatives

Of the State of Mississippi to except tbo Gulf

and Ship Island grant from the wholesale declaration of forfeiture. They admitted lhat tho terms of the grsnthad not been complied with, and asked exemption from forfeiture upon tho Ktx-uud that the Intervention of the war, followed by several years of disorder, prevented coiupliar.oo with the terms. Thoir appeal made, an impression upon a few Southern men, but the majority against them was overwhelming. The Texas i'aoifla grant, in which Judge Payson had made an bio report, giving tho reasons for restoring

the land to tho pumic domain, was j assea without debate and with only one dissenting veto. Tho dissenter was Bnrr, of Pennsylvania, a personal and political friend of tho late Tom Scott, of tho Pennsylvania road. Tho vote on this forfeiture bill was recorded, so that every man might be able lo show his record, but it was observed that not a few dodged when their names were called. Tbe Publlo Lands Committee is gratified at the sweeping success of Its first efforts to get back tho squandered millions of acres. (From the Chicago Tribnne.1 Judge Payson and the people triumphed in tho House yesterday. No such disaster ever before fell in one day on the forces of monopoly. First a bill passed involving tho forfeiture of grants of over 7,000.000 acres of land iu Mississippi and Alabama. Next camo Mr. Huntington, and in about ten minutes the 15,000.010 grab of the Texas Paeitto wasreslorod to Uncle Sam. TheOrogon Coutral will next forfeit 1.(01,000 acres, und two California corj.oratlous will let go about 0,000,000 acres moro. Tho Commltteo on Publlo Lands has tho full confidence of the Hourc, and Is rapidly pushing forward tbo good work.

What It Proposes to Accomplish Average Reduction. (Washington Special to Chicago Times. Great Interest was manifested by Repre sontatlvos In tho Morrison tariff bill whilo it was being road to tho nouso. Vet when the members wore afterward asked for thoir opinions they replied in guardod words, and uot-for ptiblicttti in. liecauso, as they said, they had not had time to consider tho effect of tho bill. The prevalent opinion among tariff reformers ap;':ired to bo that It was 8 oclnlly drawn in a manner that would win votes from low tariff men of both parties, and If enacted into a law would effect a largo reduction In the revenues of the Government, mid compel Uio continuance of the internal revenue taxes on whisky and tobacco. Low-tariff men whoso interests it proposes to touch hold that It does not nnikc equitable reduct ions, a -id that no lair adjustment of duties can be made by a bill that applies the east iron rule of a horizontal-cut ting or tariff rates. Tho just proportion of tvduetiou us between articles in different schedules, and ns between raw materials and manufactured articles, cannot bo determined by the plan adopted by Mr. Morrison, but by considering each case with the facts bearing upou it. home of the wool men complain that lie w uld make matters worse for them, instead of affording oven partial relief, by loweringthedutioi on manlifRf.tiirftfl to il nnitit enniittntiuitrnfn with tltn

I reductions m: do by the lust ongress on raw I wool. Among tho protcet'onitts the bill is

not well ixcoivcd, nor wus it expected It would bo. They say it would ruin tho manufacturing intorosts of tho Kanern and Middle States, and throw thousands of laboring men out of employment. It may be stated, however, ill it tho view tnkon generally by tho nest informed mon, without rojraril to their differences on the tariff question, is that Mr. Morrison, as the official leader of tho tariff rofcrme'-s, has drawn this Wlls'iuply as a basis for the Ways and Means Comiuittoj to operate upon, nnd to give tho tariff reform n oremont a formal inauguration in this Congress. Crudo opinions as to its effect, given without time for reflection, may bo modified when it comes to be carefully considered. A reduction of -'0 per cent, is made In numerous articlos, while in a few ca-ts the reduction is greater or lest than this rate. A provision p: events any reduction to a lower rate than in the Morrill act of lMll. Tho title of the bill is: "An act to reduce imp rt duties und war tariff taxes." It provides that on and ulter tho 1st of July, 184, in lieu of the duties and rates of duty imposed by law on tho importation of goods, wares, and merchandise, mentioned in tho several schedules of "An not to reduce internal rovenuo taxes, nnd for other purposes," approved March 3, 1S.S3, and hereinafter ontimcrntod, there shall be lovied, collected, and paid tO per cout.

AMERICAN WORKISUMEN. Protesting Against the Importation ol Foreign Laborers Under Contract, I Washington Telegram. A number of representatives of labor organizations appeared before tho Houso Committee on Labor and argued against tho lmnortation of foreign laborers undor con

tract, T. V. l'owderly, ex-Mayor of Scranton, said he represented tho Knights of Labor, an

organization numbering over 000,000. This

association desires an eight-hour law; legislation preventing foreigners from pur chasing largo tracts of publlo laud In this country, and preventing ihu importation of foreigners uuder contract. Ho spoke of the importation of Hungarians, nnd said they returned homo after saving comparatively small sumB of money. One family ot nine was instanced that lived on $27 a month; ibeir diet was said to bo mush and water six days, with moat on Sunday. Tho Hungarians, he said, wero fast becoming as obnoxious in tbo East as tho Ihinose in tho West, W. F. Barclay, of l'ennsylvania, representing tho coke interest, said only about S per cent of tho Hungarians could road. Thoir earnings average 91.25 por day, and thoy work from two to five days a week, beginning work at 1 or 2 a. m. and continuing until 7 p. ra. Tho Hungarians, Mr. Barclay said, had most filthy habits. In some cases as many as ten lived in a single room. 3 William Lynch, of Now Jersey, and E. Bullion, of Ohio, were qucst'oned regarding the importation of Belgians to work in tho glass factories. Tho former said foroignors received 33 per cent, less wages than Americans. SEWSPAPER COPYRIGHT. Hewitt's BUI Scons of the Proposed Law, (Washington Distiatch to tho Chicago Tribune It appears that tho bill of Representative Hewitt, of Now Vork, which proposes to authorize newspapers to copyright thoir tltlo, la not tbe bill hlch has ct used tho rural press to send such numerous piote'tH to Washington. It is doubtful whether tho Hewitt bill has been called to their attention. Tho subjoot or which thoy complain is that a copyright shall bo granted on nows for a crfod of twenty-four hours. The ilrst pr. pisit Ion was forty-eicht hours, but owing to tbn opposition, the p'an will bo reduced lo twenty-four hours. It Is rnmoied that some of tlio pro-s as-ociations aro behind tho projoct. and that their purpose is by th s means to prevent tho Western newspnpori from Hiking advantage of tho dlllorcnco In time, to scouro Eastern news for simultaneous publication. The rural picas seems to think that tbo schoiro is diree'ed at them and that it would Interfere with tho pastc-pot and scissors. It is doubtful whether the rural press was ei'r thought of iu this connection. Tbo gossip is that it is designed to strengthen news organizations which, by restricting thecntorprise of individual papers, hope to Increase their own facilities. This theory of tho origin of tho movement may bo wrong, as no ono bits appeared hero in open advocacy of tbo project. The Mississippi legis'ature refuses to lot reporters seo any part of tho bills or measures boforo that lo ly except the title." Tho State papers dououneo it as a flagrant outrage.
