No determination was reached. There was some informal discussion as to what course should be pursued in case any aiiu-ndments providing for' the repeal of the federal supervisors and test oath laws are attached by the House to one of the annual appropriation bills. Although no action was taken the general tenor of the opinions expressed was to the effect that the effort to enact such legislation upon an appropriation bill should be resisted even to the extent of causing the bill to fail.

London, Feb. 11.- "Summonses were is-" sued this morning for a Cabinet council to i ue ueiu mis aiternoon to deliberate on the reverpes to the British troops in Zaluland. Ufflcial telegrams announcing1 the defeat," which were Tecoived at the Colonial office I at 12:30 o'clock this morning, confirm the details of the affair heretofore given in ! tbesej dispatches. The news of the defeat caused a sensation throughout London. The idemand for newspapers at all the suburban stations is greater than since the outbreak of the Franco-German war; i London, Feb. 11. The cabinet council to-day decided, to send six battalions of infantry, two regiments of -cavalry, two batteries pi artillery,' a company of engin eers, tnree companies or the army service i corps to rein force. Lord Chelmsford in South Africa. : 1 Lo3don, Feb. 11. The Times' comment ing on nvws from Capetown ' says noihine can exceed the frankness of the recital, for I u s clear that nothing has been held back. It would be useless to deny either the sad ness or extreme gravity of the catastro phe whet her there was or was not any want f vigilance on the part of our own force, j -It ia clear that the Zulus are even more formidable than our military au thorities expected Ihem to be. It was known that .they were, well' drilled that 1 great numbers are' armed with breechi loaders, and that they could fight courageously. We now know but too well how large a force they can mass at one point.) Sad as the los3 of our j iroops is, still graver is the pet il which must arisa with defeat. Ihe Z uus will be embol dened,! and the colonists will be exposed to Iresh and formidable daugers. in these circumstances the duly of the jjovernmeot cannot admit of the slightest doubt, and it is to send ample reinforcement to the Cape without the needless delay of a single hour, jit may be that they can be more quickly sent from Mauritius or India than from England, but at all events ; no effort and nojexpenditure must be spared to save the colony from disaster and the; power of the country from grave injury.t It is a melancholy consolation, meaa while, that the gallant troops of the 2ih regiment did their duty and died at their posts like Englishmen. London, Feb. 11. Lord Chelmsford, the commander of the expedition, sets down the British loss at 30 officers and about 500 non commissioned officers and rank and file of the imperial troops, and 70 non4commi8sioded officers and rank and filel or the Colonial troops. I v A court of inquiry has been ordered to collect. evidence, regarding this unfortu nate affiiir. It would seem that the troops were educed away from their camp . as the action took place a mile and a quarter outside of it. CoiigTevkioua.1 CuniuiitteeM. ! - " I -. Washington, Feb. 11. The Senate Committee on appropriations this morniDg agreed to add to the Postofflce appropria tion bulilhe section authorizing contracts to be made for the semi-monthly steam ship, mail service between the United States and Brazil by two lines, one from New Tot via Norfolk, and tbe other from Nw Orleans via Galveston each to receive a compensation not exceeding one hundred and hfiy thousand dollars per annum. 1 he Committee recommend that the appropriation be two hundred thou sand dollars or so much thereof as may be necessary to provide for this service during the next fiscal year, the expectation being that steamships for the New Orleans line wil not be ready to commence run ning belbre Ihe expiration of about two thirds of the year.
