near at hand when an Irish Parliament would semi a message oi’ peace to the English Parliament. A. M. Sullivan, ex -member of Parliament, said there would be no truco or peace with the gov eminent HOW HICKS WAS LOST. singular Account of the IlattJe of Kusligil from French Sources. Journal Dee Debats. The latest information which has readied Cairo regarding the disaster of Hicks Pasha's army is so singular and so very tragic that it could at first he hardly believed possible. But it is now confirmed by so large a number of trustworthy witnesses that it is no longer possible to doubt tho fact. It was not the Mahdi who conquered nicks Pasha; the latter and his men perished in an internecine struggle, victims of an error which threw Egyptians against Egyptians. The Mahdi and his bands only took a secondary part in the battle. They arrived in time to increase the butchery and reap the fruits of the victory. JTliis is what happened. You know that a conflict had arisen between General Hicks and his Egyptian colleague Alaidin Pasha. The first wanted to march directly on El Obeia, the second proposed to follow the hilly route, a more difficult road, hut a safer one. and which offered the advantage of allowing the troops to rest during the day near the Melbass wells before attacking El Obeid. The minor was spread that in consequence of this rupture Alaidin Pasha had abandoned General Hicks, with part of the army, and hopes were long entertained that he had been saved. Alas! this separation was destined, on the contrary, to become the cause of the ruin of the Egyptians and of the loss of the Soudan. The two generals having found it impossible to come to an understanding, it was resolved that each should take the road he considered best, and that in the event of one of the corps being attacked by the enemy the other would hasten to its rescue. This plan was carried out. Alaidin Pasha reached the mountain, while Hicks Pasha inarched straight toward El Obeid. Both corns were passed by soldiers of the Mahdi. who, without, giving battle, harassed them incessantly on the flanks. The troops had left toward midday. At midnight sharp firing was heard in the direction of the mountain. Hicks Pasha at once ordered his men to advance and support Alaidin Pasha. It was pitch dark. The sharpshooters fired without knowing wliat they were about. After an hour's hurried march the troops reached the middle of the mountain. Tho vanguard announced that all the height*? were occupied by the enemy. Suddenly a shower of bullets fell on the army. A part took to flight, while the other stood firm. 'I he fighting continued desperately until daylight appeared, when a horrible spectacle presented itself. Hicks Pasha's troops were almost annihilated, and at the top of the hill the Egyptian uniforms were in sight. Alaidin Pasha and Hicks Pasha's troops had been butchering each other ever since midnight. The central column, commanded by General Hicks, bad -nflY-reil ihe most. A small plateau where it had halted was strewn with dead and dying. The bodies of thrcoEuropoans lay where the staff had taken position. RECOINING TRADE DOLLARS. A Profitable Enterprise in Which the King of Siam Is Engaged. New York. March 17.—Advices received yesterday from Bangkok, bearing date Jan. 18, are: •‘The King is buying American trade dollars at about ninety cents on the dollar, and coining new Siamese ‘ticals.’ The new coin is very handsome, and much sought after bv the native traders. It bears the impress of the King’s head mi one side and the royal seal on the other. These tieals pass current for 00 cents within the kingdom, but at Singapore, Senang and Calcutta they arc acceptable at a discount of 20 per cent., so that their actual value is not more than 48 cents, it is said ai. the British consulate that one trade dollar produces two tieals. so it will be seen that rh< Siamese government is doing a profitable business by debusing the coin.'’ There is no proper money in circulation in Siam. Silver is the standard, though there is some gold in the country. The gold/however, is in very small quantity, and rarely finds its way into tho hands of the common people. Siamese gold coin coin man ds a premium, as it is an object of curiosity. It is thought that the depreciation of the Siamese tical will seriously derange the commercial transactions of foreigners engaged in t rade at that port. FO R E I< i N MISCEL LAN V.

Some 7>f the chiefs of bureaus told the ladies they could not leave unless they promised to attend the reception. Others were more lenient, and told them they could go. but that they were expected to present themselves at tho executive mansion. This order caused some surprise, as under no administration heretofore have the wome,n clerks beendnvited in such an abrupt manner to be .present at a WhiteHouse reception.

Notes and Personalities. Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal. Washington, March 17.—Bussell Harrison and wife have gone to New York, where they will remain two or three days, and then go to their home at Helena, M. 'F. Mr. Calkins introduced a bill in the House today to give each honorably discharged soldier and sailor of the late war 160 acres of land.

The Resolution of Charles W. Heath Post Grand Army of the Republic, of,lndiana, reached the Senate to-day, asking an equalization of bounties and other legislation in the interest of soldiers of the late war. It is thought there is hut Tittle doubt that the President will sign the Fits John Porter bill, though he may delay his action because of numerous protests now being sent him, but if the bill is signed the President will then have to appoint him through the Secretary of War. The appointment would not be complete without an older issued by the secretary, and Mr. Lincoln lias said since the passage of the bill that he would resign his seat in the Cabinet befoi-o lie would sign an older restoring Porter to the army.

STATE NEWS AND GOSSIP. How a Murderer Threw Away a Bird in the Hand for One in the Hush. A Ten-Year-Old Boy Accidentally Kills Himself—Progress of the Carpenter Trial —Minor Notes and Gleanings. INDIANA. How Murderer McDonald Might Have Escaped if He Had Wished. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, March 17.—This afternoon Sheriff Sehiefer searched the county jail and found a key. forged from lead pipe, to exactly fit the inner door of the jail. The key was made from an impression of the lock by Fremont Young, a United States prisoner now serving lime for robbing the Waterloo postoffice, and for the express purpose of freeing Sam McDonald, the murderer of Louis Lorent. One day the door was unlocked by a false key and McDonald urged to go and scale the wall—an easy task. His application for reprieve was then in Gov. Porter’s hands, and McDonald was hopeful of fiftroruble. action. “For they will capture me and surely hang me,’’ he said; “I will wait for my reprieve.” When the application was denied ho was doubly guarded, and was hanged on October 9. Tho reports that Charles Butler, the Whitley county murderer, had been recaptured, are denied to-night by Sheriff Scliicfer.

Charged with Forgery. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Gheensburg, March 17.—For several years George W. Souter has been selling his notes, taken for lightning-rods, to James Hart.

Five or six of tho notes, amounting to about S3OO, are known to be forgeries. _ Strike of Cigar-Makers at Vincennes. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Vincennes, March 17.—A1l the cigar-makers at Joseph Schmidt's factory went out on a strike yesterday. They claim that the firm has been .employing more apprentices that the union allows, thus depriving them of a portion of the work.' It is probable the proprietor will grant the terms of his employes. A Ten-Year-Old Boy and Hi* Revolver. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Vincennis, March 17.—Charles Knablekaipper, a boy aged ten years, was playing with his revolver, when it exploded, the ball entering his brain, killing liini instantly. State Politics. Pursuant to a call the temperance people to the number of twenty-five or thirty, met in Muncie, on Saturday last, and took the initiatory steps looking to the organization of a third party in Delaware county. The Republicans of Blue River township, Johnson county, held their convention in Washington Hall, Edinburg, last night, and nominated the following ticket: Township trustee. A. W. Winterbcrg: constables, Wm. Nicholson, Alvin Pritchard and James Johnson. The Michigan City Dispatch published, on Saturday, interviews with one hundred prominent men of both political parties. Tbe choice of the Democrats was unanimous for Tilden and Hendricks for President, and Gray for Governor. The Republican sentiment was for Blaine as a presidential nominee, and Calkins for the gubernatorial race. The Journal’s Nashville (Brown county) cor-' respondent writes: Therods great dissatisfaction among the Democrats in this county. The temperance question two years ago estranged them, and recent political movements have rent thorn in twain. The great clamor here is for Colonel Matson for Congress, the majority favoring him, yet tho Bourbons so managed the convention as to select delegates favorable to G. W. Cooper. The soldier vote for Matson, and will not vote for Cooper if nominated, but will support any other .gooa man. The best men among the Democrats are opposed to Cooper, and it is safe to say that one-half the Democratic vote will be east against him, providing a good man, who can get the Republican vote, opposes. The Republicans were never in better working order, having organized anew central committee, and selected officers for the campaign. ■ Minor Notes.

Tho Prosecution in the Carpenter Case to Rest To-Morrow, Special to the Indianapolis Jouriml. Petersburg, March 17.—Nine witnesses only were examined in tho Carpenter trial to-day. Tlie court was forced to adjourn early in the afternoon because the prosecution had only three more witnesses, and they would not arrive until Tuesday. Tiro prosecution expected to prove by a chemist, to-day, that there was human blood on tbe reins belonging to Carpenter's harness, but as they could not prove where the lines had been kept since last Oetober, Judge Key ruled tho testimony out. The defense will commence with their witnesses on Tuesday, and will occupy two days. Tlie excitement is unabatod, but the general impression is that Carpenter will be acquitted. Tbe postmaster hero received an anonymous letter from Janesville, Wis., saying that the writer had murdered Miss Bums for money Carpenter had paid her, and that tho latter was innocent It created much excitement, but is looked upon as the work of a crank. The Cattle Disease.

The horse, taking fright, ran away, throwing her to the ground. The man escaped, but was recognized as August Kruhu, Mrs. Blank's son-in-law.

Georgia Gentlemen Amusing Themselves. Gainesville Special. One of the now towns brought into prominence by recent railroad developments is Jug Tavern, near which is a female academy, whoro a large number of misses are entered as scholars. A number of Jackson county farmers, among whom were identified Wm. ' Sweat and Cicero Flannigan, had been in town. Also, they filled their jugs, and on their way home became furious vvitii drink. They drew their revolvers, and kept up a fusillade along the way, which ran people into their houses and left terror behind them. When near the academy the pupils were out at reoess. Tho whiz of bullets soon scattered them, when they ran toward the school in tho wildest confusion. The drunken men drove up the team wildly, discharging pistols frequently after the fieeing girls. The latter succeeded in gaining tlie protection of tlie school and closed the door. Their assailants halted and riddled the door with shot, several of which passed through and (Lopped on the floor within where the girls were clinging to each other and crouching under desks and sci'eaming with fear. The infuriated men outside accompanied the shooting with all maner of indecent and vulgar expressions, then they drove on toward home, keeping up this line of conduct as far as heard from. President Arthur’s Administration. Horace B. ClatUn, I share tho general conviction of tlie country that the administration of President Arthur is a most agreeable surprise.

THE SPEECII OF MR. CARLISLE. Wliat He Really Did Say at tlie Dinner of tlie New York Free-Trade Club. New York, March 17. —Owing to some misapprehension. Mr. Carlisle was misreported in the telegraphic account of his speech before tho New York Free-trade Club, and the speech was to-night again telegraphed to the newspapers. Below will be found the Speakers remarks as to tariff: l nder tho liberal policy established by tho Constitution our means of internal communication and transportation have increased, and are still increasing, while under the restricting and obstructive policy of Congress our merchant marine, once a source of pride and profit, bas almost disappeared from the seas, and unless something can be done to arrest its further decline it will disappear entirely. Free commercial intercourse between the States has encouraged trade, promoted the development of our national resources for agriculture and manufactures. and added untold millions to the wealth of the people, while tlie protective system maintained by congressional legislation, to a large extent at least, shut us out from the markets of the outside world, limited the production substantially to the demands of home consumption, and in many cases actually arrested tlie further development of great industrial interests. [Applause.] Under this system, when any highly protected manufacturing industry has reached a stage of development which enables it to supply the home demand, its growth must*virtually cease, because its products can have access to no other markets. Tho Constitution not only prohibited the States from laying imposts or duties upon imports or exports, but it expressly delegated to Congress the power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay debts and providejfor tho common defense and general welfare. This is simply power to raise revenue for public purposes. [Cheers.] It is wholly separate and distinct from the power to regulate commerce between the United States and foreign nations and among the several States and with the various Indian tribes, which is conferred by another clause of the Constitution. The two powers were delegated from entirely different purposes, and it is a monstrous abuse of tho power of taxation to use it, not for the purpose of raising revenue, but for the purpose of prohibiting commerce. [Cheers. ] ft is impossible to still greater abuse that power than to employ it for private instead of public purposes. [Applause.] Let no one. I pray you, misunderstand me on this point. The experience ot mankind has shown it is almost, if not quite impossible, to devise any system or scheme of duties upon imports that will not incidentally, in a greater or less degree, either injure or benefit private industrial interests, and I have never hesitated to say that I would rather benefit them than injure them; but what I moan to assert is, that when the primary or principal object of a tax imposed by public authority is to foster private interests, it is not a legitimate use of the power of taxation, but is simply spoliation. [Cheers.) Whether what is called protection, direct or incidental, is or is not really beneficial to protected industry, is a question about which I imagine there will never be anything like perfect unanimity of opinion; but whatever may be my opinion upon that question, all must or will agree, I think, that there may be condition, under which it would not be wise to make a sudden change, even from a bad policy to a good one. | Applause. ]

Air. Cuinbuck in Wisconsin. Geneva (Wis.) Herald. The Hon. Will Cumback's lecture on “Invisible Some People” delivered before the Elkhorn Lecture Association was ono of the best that has been heard Imre in a series of remarkably successful and satisfactory courses. Our "people have had the privilege of listening aforetime to Willits, Parsons, Swing. Wendell, and others perhaps equally noted for their learning, eloquence or humor, and it is not too much to say that Col. Cumback's effort will be as long and as pleasantly remembered as any of the good things we have had before. * * * Gov. Cnmback is a statesman and an orator, highly favored in respect, of personal presence and address, “a combination and a form indeed to give the world assurance of a man”—and should be seen and heard to be appreciated. He would seem to be in every sense worthy of tho commendatory mention which he has received from the press in all quarters, and very many who met and heard him ltore last week for the first time hope to meet and hear him again. Hunting an Opening for Ferry. Interview -Between the President and tho Michigan flelogntion. “We are not prepared. ” resumed Conger, “to ask for any particular appointment. Our State is not represented in any foreign mission. Providentially. as it seems, the place at St. Petersburg is now open. As this is usually considered tlie least desirable of all, we would not ordinarily ask it for a Michigan man. The climate and other considerations cause us to hesitate about sending any of our citizens to that distant post. ” “The Kuesian diet is misuited to us, ” said Palmer, “train oil soup and tallow candles: but we can get used to it.” “You appear,” said the President, “to regard this Russian mission as Joseph’s brethren regarded tlie cave down in tlie wilderness. When they saw it they said this is a good opening for Joseph.” The National Issue of Protection. E.\-Governor Chaim, of Massachusetts. “What ought to be the national issues?” “The old questions are coming up again. The solid South inakos a solid North. The issues growing out of the war are still as prominent as ever. Next to that are tariff and questions of civil-service reform. I plage tariff first, though both aro important. We tire sending $5,000,000 to $6,000,000 abroad in gold weekly, and yet they talk of taking off the revenue, and letting more foreign goods in and sending more gold out. They say we have a thousand protected industries. Yet, while all tlie gold is going out of the country, they would cutoff this protection and increase the flow of gold abroad. This question will be talked from every stump in tho fa)L lt was never more important to the country, than at present.” Accounting for* the Defeat. Springfield Republican. The House rejected tho hill granting municipal suffrage to women by the decisive vote of 144 to 50, with eleven pairs, yesterday- This is tho most serious defeat yet sustained, and indicates that, there is an apprehension that tho question of women's voting lias a pretty direct bearing on the restriction of tho liquor traffic.
