QUESTIONS FOR GLADSTONE. An K.veiled and Angrv Discussion in the British House of Commons. — Expectation that BrackenTinrv Will Reacli 0 Abu-llamed To-Day—Burnaby’s Rashness at Abu-K!ea—Other Cable News. Till: WAR IN EGYPT. Expectation that General Itrackenbnry Will Reach Abu-Hamcd To-Day. London, Feb. 23—The arrival cf General Brackenbury’s column at Abu-Hamed, which is expected to-morrow, will be a welcome event for the* British, since there will then, for a few weeks at least, boa possible line of communication with Kcraske, above the second cataract. This line is 225 miles long, and there is only or.e point at which water is found, but steps will doubtless he taken to forward stores of water to El Murad in advance, and by forced camel marches the distance can bo covered in nine days. At best this line will bo an indifferent one, but anything is preferable to the isolation of the past several days, A Korti dispatch saj'3: “A grand durban was hold to day in the presence of the Kabbabish and other sheikhs, and the British troops. Lord Wolseley personally invested the Mudir of Dongoia, with tho order of St. Michael and St. George. Tho Mudir asked Lord Wolseley to onvey his thanks to the Queen for this mark of distinction. A hitherto unpublished account of the battles of Abu Klea says: .“It is ascertained beyond doubt that Col. Burnaby, who held no official positiou in the regiment, gavo orders to tho heavy tavalry corps to advance. This resulted in breaking tho square and the heavy mortality. His •counter order to retire came too late. The colump. suffered agouies' of thirst during tho advance and consequent engagement. Tho rumors that the Mahdi was advancing arose from his Vnaking a pilgrimage to his father’s tomb, at Keirers, with an immense rctinpe. Wolseley received a visit at Korti, to-day, a number of friendly nativo chiefs. He announced to them that it was tho fixed determination of the British to recapture Khartoum and avenge the death of Gordon. More Extracts from Gordon's Telegrams. London, Feb. 24. —Tho papers continue to publish extracts from the telegrams and letters of General Gordon, as they appear in the Blue Boole on Egypt- One these letters, dated Dee. 4, 1884, recounts many incidents of the siege, and has the following narrative: “Once the river rose we drove off the Arabs in ft fair fight; we fired their towns and sent two expeditions to Sennaar. We had a fight, Sept. 4, and were defeated with heavy loss, our square being broken. It lias been quiet sinco. We used 3,000,000 round? in these different fights. The Arab Krupp guns often hulled our steamers. We have lost three steamers and built two. All tho captives with, the Mahdi are well. Sluten Boy is well treated, but is kept in chains. The nuns among the captives have ostensibly married Greeks in the party, in order to save themselves from be ? ng compelled- to marry Arabs. There is a mysterious Frenchman from Dongola with the Mahdi. Don’t let the Egyptian soldiers come and take direct command of the steamers at Metemneh and turn out the fellaheen.” The Queen lias sent an autograph letter to Miss Gordon, sister of General Gordon, expressing her Majesty's sympathy with tho lady in her bereavement by tho loss of her heroic brother. In a ledter to a friend at Cairo, dated Dec. 14. General Gordon wrote: “It is all up with us. I expect a c atastrophe within ten days from tho present time. It wouhl not have been so if our people had kept me better informed of thoir intentions. My adieu to all.” The Lord Mayor’s committee on the proposed memorial to General Gordon includes the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, t,he Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Manning. Mr. Gladstone, the Marquis of Salisbury. Earl Granville, the Marquis of liipon, the Marquis of Hartington, tho Marquis of Lome, Lord Napier, find the Chinese Minister.

THE MOTION OF CENSURE. An Exciting EpUodc-Thc Debate Continued, Without Reaching a Vote. London, Feb. 24.—Mr. Gladstone, in the Com mons this evening, moved to postpone all notices of motions until after the order of the (lay. resuming debate on Northcote’s motion of censure against the government for its Egyptian policy, was disposed of. In response tc nn interrogatory put L>; Ash mead Bartlett, Conservative. Mr. GhvMor.e explained that he had never mentioned abandoning the Soudan by her Majesty's forces aft' r the capture of Khartoum; ho had merely sai l the evacuation of the Soudan by Egypt had formed the original policy of her Majesty’s government, and that policy remained unaltered: but recent events had prevented its immediate execution. Sir John Lubbock, Liberal, resumed the debate on Northcote's motion of censure. He said he could be relied on to support any measure necessary to benefit Egypt. Charles Stuart Wolatley, Conservative, said he thought the government had acted with meanness toward General Gordon. Mr. Redmond, Home Ruler, opposed the motion, and was seconded in his opposition by several Pnrnellites. The opposition became so noisy that the Speaker interfered, and when quiet was restored announced that he thought it his duty to inform the House that he thought the .subject had been sufficiently discussed. At this the Parneilitcs nearly all joined in prolonged cheers. O’Brien, editor of United Ireland, and Home Ruler, shouted out: **We will remem her this in Ireland." This remark was greeted with cries of “Oh! oh!” “Name him, name him.” The Speaker thereupon named O'Brien. Mr. Gladstone at or.ee moved to name the member as being suspended. O'Brien jumped up aud shouted, “In that is tho honor of my ambition.” When the excitement which attended this pas sage between the Dublin editor aud the Prime Minister Jmd subsided, Mr. Sexton, Home Rulex-, rose to a point of order, but ho was summarily overruled by the Speaker. A division was then called upon Mr. Gladstone’s motion to suspend O'Brien, and it re suited in a voto of 542 for the motion, and but 20 against it The Speaker, when the vote was being recorded, ordered O'Brien to withdraw from the house. O'Brien arose, straightened himself up to his full height, and exclaiming, with groat precision and sarcasm: “Certainly, sir; I will withdraw from tho House more willingly than I entered it," etrode out. The Parneilitcs objected to resumption of debato on the motion of censure, because there was an order for discussiou of a motion made by Mr. J&edtncnd, relating to the conduct of au Irish constable named Murphy. The Gladstone O'Brien episode was quite sensational while it lasted, and Gladstones conduct ivitfi firm and determined. t When the House had again settled down to

business, the cloture was proposed and.voted for —207 yeas, 40 nays. Mr. Parnell expressed dissatisfaction with tho tally, and as a protest, insisted upon a division. This resulted in the adoption of Gladstone’s motion to resume debate on Sir Stafford Northcote's motion of censure—222 to 10. Trevelyan said he thought the government was justified in adopting a vigorous offensive policy after the fall of Khartoum. Negotiations with the Mahdi were impossible while the government was fighting him. Edward Gibson, member for Dublin Universsity, thought Trevelyan’s statement indicated that, at no very remote time the Mahdi would become *an element in settling the Soudan question. Gibson violently attacked the government, and accused the Ministry of deliberately gambling away the life of the hero Gordon. The present policy appeared to be one of going to Khartoum to please the Whigs and running away to please the Radicals. The required a definite statement to assure the country that the government’s policy was not one of useless expense or wanton bloodshed. Mr. Goschen said it was necessary for the government to clearly define its policy affecting tho grave military operations and important political question at issue. He wanted to know what Fehmi Pasha, the special Turkish envoy, was endeavoring to negotiate, and the purport of his mission to Ilassan Bey, and if the treaty with Italy provided for assistance to tho British in the Egyptian troubles. Ho also wanted infoitn&tion in regard to tho desire of Germany and Russia to acquire greater control over Egypt. In relation to England's future position there, he asked Mr. Gladstone if British troops were going to Khartoum to suppress the &lave trade, and, if so, whether it was tho intention to mako occupation permanent; if not, he said, the expedition had tetter be dropped. Mr. Gladstone's statement, yesterday, was altogether vague, and gave no indication what would bo done when tho British got to Khartoum. Mr. Goscheu wished to know if tho Suakim-Berber railway was to be bequeathed to the Arabs to assist them in pursuing the slave trade, or would it be destroyed at tho conclusion of the military operations. He was of opinion that the government, had better retain its grip on the Nile ty retention of tho railway to Berber than by smashing the Mahdi at Khartoum. He would be unable to support the latter measure unless the government declared a policy different from any yet announced. Without such a declaration. Mr. Goschen said he should support Sir Stafford Northcote's motion of couure. Adjourned. WORKINGMEN CARL ON THE FOrE. His Holiness Points Out tlio Cause of Their * Grievances and Suggests a Remedy. Rome, Feb. 24. —The Pope, replying to an address of operatives, traced the evils afflicting the working classes to their abandonment of the principles of religion, and to their submitting themselves to the influences of agitators who deceived them with vain promises and flattered them by magnifying their rights and never alluding to their duties. Nothing good could arise from exciting workmen’s hate of proprietors and the rich. The remedy for tho evils of the worker's lot was to be found in associations and co-operation, and the rendering of mutual assistance in cases of sickness and old age. Catholics ought to unite and work in con cert in preparing for the church and society a bettor future. Tho Pope's speech made a marked impression on his auditors. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. An Imperative Demand for the Release of an Alleged American Citizen, Panama, Feb. IG.— The United States steamer Wachusetts is now in Guayaquil river, having been ordered there by cable to inquire iuto the outrages experienced by a citizen of the United "States, a man named Santos.

The consul then received orders from Washington to demand the immediate release of the prisoner, and this has been officially done, without an answer having been received up to tho latest dates from Bahia. •

Bloody Fight in Fern. Panama, Feb. ll>.—A sanguinary engagement took place in the Jaupua valley, Peru, between four companies of government troops and 2,000 Indian Monteneros. The latter were defeated, leaving COO dead on the field. The sub-prefect of Barbosa, of the province of Otuzio, was assasinated in las residence by a relative of a man wbo was forced to become a soldier. American Flour To Re Declared Contraband.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1885.

THE CASES AGAINST SWAIM. He Is Suspended from Bank and Duty for a Period of Twelve Years, And the Forfeilnre of Half Ilis Tay Ordered —The President’s Letters Concerning the Finding and Sentence. * j THE FIRST CASE. Difficulty of Making a Sentence Which the President Would Approve. Washington, Feb. 24. —The findings of the court martial in tho case of Judge advocate General Swaim, and the sentence of the court, as finally approved by Presidenr Arthur, were made public this evening. On the first charge—“conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman”—tho court finds General Swaim not guilty, but guilty of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. On the charge—“neglect of duty, in failing to report the facts concerning Colonel Morrow's pay accounts,” not guilty. Upon these findings the court sentenced tho accused to be suspended from rank, duty and pay for throe years. President Arthur, after examining and considering the findings aud sentence, returned the record of the proceedings to the court with the following communication: “Executive Mansion, Fob, 11. “The record in the foregoing caso of Brigadiergeneral David G. Swaim, Judge Advocategeneral. United States army, is hereby returned to the General Court-martial, before which the proceedings were had, for reconsideration as to the findings upon the first charge only, and as to the sentence, neither of which is believed to be commensurate with the offenses as fouud by the court in the first and third specifications under the first charge. The attention of the court is invited to the accompanying communication from the Attorney-general," under date of the 10th inst., whose views upon the matter, as submitted for reconsideration, have my concurrence. Chester A Arthur.” The communication of the Attorney-general is a long review of the whole case and a criticism of the findings of the court, in which lie expresses the.opinion that General Swaim should have been found guilty on the first charge. The court reconvened upon the return to it of the findings, and having reconsidered its previous action, adhered to its finding upon the first charge, remarking therein as follows. “The court, upon mature consideration, has not found tho accused guilty of such degree of wrongful or deceitful conduct as justifies the finding of guilty conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman, and has therefore respectfully adhered to its findings upon the first charge, but adjudge the following sentence: To besuspended from rank aud duty for one year, with forfeiture of all pay for the same period, and at the end of that period to be reduced to tho grade of judge advocate, with tho rank of major in the Judge-advocate General's department." The record of the procedings having been sub mitted to the President, was again returned to court for the reasons set-forth in the following indorsement placed thereon: “Executive Mansion, Feb. 14. “The record in the following case of Brigadiergeneral David G. .Swaim, Judge Advocate-general, United States army, is hereby again returned to the general court martial before which the proceedings have been had, for n consideration of the amended sentence as sot forth in the proceedings had upon reconsideration of the original findings and sentence It is apparent. from the terms of the amended sentence, that it was the intention of the court to award a punishment of greater severity and moro nearly commensurate with the offenses of which the accused had been found guilty than was tho penalty adjudged in the original proceedings. and if the terms of the amended sentence were such as could be legally carried out. the purpose of tho court in that regard would have been accomplished. The provision, however, that the accused shall, after suspension for a period of one year from rank and duty in the office now held by him, be placed in another office of lower rank in the department of which tho office now held 'by him i3 a part,* is one impossible of enforcement by the executive alone. The office of lower rank can only be filled in tho method pointed out by tho Constitution, namely: Nomination by the President and confirmation by the Senate, and then only in case of an existing vacancy. The amended sentence, in effect, creates an office and fills it, thiA at once embodying the exercise of legislative and executive functions, and opposing the power of the Senate. It is a necessary element, of sentences of courts-martial that they shall, on approval of the appointing power, t>e capable of enforcement by the executive authority charged with that duty. So much of the amended sentence as relates to changing the accused from one office to another is not of that character. At the termination of the period of suspension indicated tho accused could only be put into the office of a judge-advocate in the manner heretofore indicated, and by anew commission, which he might accept or decline; but. if there should be no vacancy, he could not be put into it at all, and his present office could not be filled until after it should have been vacated. Tho constitutional power of the executive in filling vacancies cannot be restricted to individuals, and while the sixty second article of war authorizes the court to exercise its descretion in awarding punishment, the discretion exercised must, at least, be bounded by the possibility of the sentence proposed being carried into effect without tho dependence of chance or a change in tho laws. “Chester A Arthur." The court thereupon revoked its former sentence and adjudged as follows: “To be suspended from rank and duty for twelve years, and to forfeit one-half of his monthly pay every month for the same period.” This sentence the President to-day approved, with the following comments: “Executive Mansion, Feb. 24. “The Opinion of the President as to the proper consequence of the findings of fact, made by the court in the within record has already been given, and no further comment will be made upon the final sentence, except to say it ia difficult to understand how the court could be willing to have an officer retained as a pensioner upon the army register whilo expressing its souse of his unfitness to perform tho duties of his important office by the imposition of two different sentences, under which he would be deprived permanently of his functions. Tho idea that an office like that of judge advocate-general should remain vacant, in effect, for twelve years, merely to save a part of its emoluments to its incumbent, under such circumstances, would seem to come from an inversion of the proper relations of public offices and those holding them, and is an idea not suited to our institutions. While holding the views now and heretofore expressed, it is deemed to bo fA- the public interest that the proceedings in this case be not without result, and therefore the proceedings, findings and sentence in the foregoing case of Briadier general David G. Swaim, Judge Advocate general U. S. A., are approved, aud the sentence will be duly executed. “Chester A. Arthur." General Swaim may be placed on the retired list Dec. 22, 1891. It will bo noticed that the sentence of the court, as approved by the Pres ident, suspends him from offieo up to and boyond the date of his possible retirement The President has also approved the findings and sentence of the court martial in the case of Colonel Morrow, by which the latter is deprived of all right to advancement in his grade*for two years. THE SECOND CASE. An Instance of Petty Persecution—Swaim Honorably Acquitted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 24.—The utter failure of the prosecution to establish a case of petty thievery against General Swaim, Judge

Advocate general, in his second trial by court-martial, is regarded by all fairminded men in the army as evidence sufficient that tho persecution of this officer has gone far enough. When tho second charges were filed against him it required but a cursory glance at their contents to convince anyone that General Swaim was being hounded by his enemies. He was charged with drawing forage for horses which ho did not own. One of the perquisites of a' general officer of the armv is forage for such horses as he U3es in his official capacity. Swaim always drove a pair of trotters to and from his office. His accusers attempted to show that he sold these animals to Bateman, and that he continued to draw the regulation allowance for their keep after he had disposed of them. Tho weakness of the caso was shown when „ tho prosecutor’s own witnesses swore that the sale was conditional, and that Swaim was allowed to use the team, with the understanding that he should furnish their feed. Swaim is no doubt a close-fisted man, and his financial transactions were not strictly in accord with “good form” among gentlemen. The man, however, who accused him of an attempt to steal $5,000, has shown that ho i3, to say tho least, a bad financier in that by his own evidence he establishes the fact that he not only paid a loan in a negotiable due-bill, but left an open account for the same amount, which was subject to the check of General Swaim at any time. The verdict of tho court i3 an honorable acquittal. SEARCHING FOR HIS MOTHER. A Story of Domestic Discord Revealed by the Narrative of a Delivery Clerk. New York, Feb. 24. —Thomas P. McGowan, aged eighteen, delivery clerk in the employ of the Postal Telegraph Company, told the tale of his search for his mother to Police Officer Walling this afternoon. When he was five years old liis parents quarreled, and his father took the child to California. The mother tracked them, and a reconciliation took place, and the family returned to New York, where they lived for two years, when another outbreak occurred. The husband had tho wife locked up as a drunkard, and placed the boy in a German institution, in Orange, N. J. When theunother was released from the penitentiary she again found her son and.brought him to St. Barnabas Home, this city; later she took the lad to Hackensack, N. J., whore she had obtained employment. It being the father's turn to seek, he sought and discovered his wife and son by accident, but the young Thomas refused to go with his father, so the parent had him arrested for breaking a window. Tn this way he had the youngster committed to a juvenile asylum there. Thomas remained two years before his mother found him; then she "made arrangements to take him away, but the father anticipated her, and removed the lad to Newark. N. J.. the day before Mrs. McGcnvan was to coine for him. At Newark, McGowen lived with another woman, whom the boy was ordered to call stepmother. Mrs. McGowan began another pursuit, and reached Newark just after the stepmother died. The boy had been sent to a hospital, very ill, and tho father had fled. After many months, Thomas, then a boy of ten years, left the hospital aud instituted search for his mother, which has continued ever since. He now asks the police to aid him in finding* his mother. Tlie police beliove the story, and will help him. Trouble Caused by a “Lady Convict.'* Atlanta Constitution. The penitentiary lessees at Tracy City, Tenn., are puzzled to know what disposition to make of their new convict, Mrs. I jinks. Tho Tracy City penitentiary is not fitted up with many of the ruoilryi conveniences of life, aud the accommodations for ladies are decidedly primitive. Now' Mrs. Links, although she has been convicted of stealing a diamond ring, is to .all outward appearances a lady. She is handsome, refined, well educated, and her husband is a gentleman of some means. The convict lessees have the right to put Mrs. Links in the stockade and compel her to wash clothes for the other convicts, but they hesitato to make her do this. To add to the painful feautures of tho situation, the distressed husband of tho unfortunate woman is preparing to close out his business in Chicago and open a hotel at Tracy City, with a view to hiring hi3 wife from tho lessees to assist in tho hotel. For the present the lessees allow Airs. Links to board at a private house, with a guard occupying the opposite room, iu Tennessee there is quite a difference of opinion as to the course of treatment that should be pursued. Some ai’e in favor of treating the prisoner kindly and considerately. Others demand that she shall bo foreed to work in the stockade, where she will be subjected to any indignities and outrages that may bo offered by the male convicts. In other words, there are people who want this guilty woman not only punished, but destroyed, for the one criminal act, so far as is known, of her lifo.

LITTLE SAMMY RANDALL, A Chip of the Old Block, Secures an Autograph Letter from Cleveland. Washing Toy, Feb. 24. —Tho Sunday Capital eays that that national statesman, Sam Randail, jr., is one of the few politicians in Washington who cannot show an autograph letter from the President-elect. Before tho election he addressed xd r - Cleveland an epistle assuring him of his warm support, while regretting that the boys of Capitol Hill made it rather warm for him by their enthusiastic support of Mr. Blaine. Sammy was somewhat chagrined at .not getting an early reply, but excused it on the suggestion of his father that it was indiscreet in candidates to write letters. A week or two ago, however, he wrote to Mr. Cleveland again, reminding him of the previous letter, and hoping that now an answer might be expected. The President was informed of the* success his correspondent had' had in securing a place in the Senate for that faithful Democrat, •Toe Duddington. and that the Blaine boys of the hill were now singing very small, in fact, were not so '‘flip” as they had been by a long chalk, i Mr. Cleveland’s reply has been exhibited to nearly everybody at the Capitol. Sammy received a handsome apology for the neglect to answer the first letter, and is congratulated on his efforts to secure a groat Democratic victory under the adveiso surroundings of Capitol hill. Ho is cordially invited to be among tlie first to welcome a Democratic President to the White House. Sammy says he is going to stand on the White House steps when the new President drives up from the Capitol on the 4th of March and cheer for Cleveland and Hendricks. * It Was a Genuine Bounce. Chicago Herald. The army officers who were instrumental iiT removing Captain Couch’s “boomers” from Indian Territory say that all the settlers went out and stayed out, except ono old man and his famil\ r . They had a big covered wagon, in which they lived, and a pair of melancholy mules. The day after tho squatters wore driven out a detachment of troops was sent back iuto tho Territory a ways and came upon tho old man, who was headed south. 110 was ordered out once more and followed by the troops clear totheboundeiy. Two days later they found him on the government land again and made him turn back. After this they watched him. In one week’s time they put him out eight times, and on the last occasion they warned him that they did not propose to fool with him all summer. He laughed incredulously and camped just north of the line. Last Sunday while tho squad was out on a scouting expedition they came upon the old man making his way south once more. This time ho was walking by tho* side of his mules and hi3 wife was driving. The lieutenant, a big, strapping fellow, got mad when he saw tho outfit again, and, dismounting, he grabbed tho old man by the collar and" booted him all over a quarter section of the Promised Land. As tho old woman with the mules and the troops kept up with the procession they had quite a parade. When the officer stopped to take breath the old man turned to his w ife and said: “By cracky, Sarah Ann, these blue devils is in earnest, and no mistake. It’s a bounce; and if you don’t believo it come out and try it. l’vo just caught on, Mr. Officer.” With that ho mounted one of the mules and in fifteen minutes the wagon was a speck on the northern horizon. Senator Bayard’s Daughter at a Ball. Washington Letter. Miss Bayard was the sensation of tho evening, in a dress of tho First Empire, copied front a portrait of ono of the ladies of tho Empress Josephine’s court. Miss Bayard is a slender, graceful girl, with a groat deal of animation and spirit, but always rather theatrical and astonishing in her dress, and the scant, clinging skirt of pink cashmere open at one side as high as the knee, and tho narrow waist, which was a mere belt covered with pearl embroidery, was rather tho furthest that anyone has gone in realistic costuming. After peeing the costume copied carefully from a painting, ono can understand why more women died of consumption during and after tlio First Empire than at any other time in the history of Franco. She carried an immense fan of white feathers, and, until, the mystery was solved, there wero excited and persistent crowds about her. Advice to Mothers.
