KILLED IN HER HUT.
Death of an Aged Woman, Who Had
Bceu a Hermit Forty-Klght Years.
Hkading, Feb. 2. —Undoubtedly the
strangest character in Eastern Pennsyl
vania died to-day in the mountains back
<d Bernville, this county. This was
Sallie Ketner, who was known as “the
woman hermit of the mountains.” She
lived alouejtn a rude log hut, away from all
society and neighbors. The" tumble
down hovel fell of its own weight. Some
"f the falling timbers struck the old wo
man and she was so badly Injured that
she died shortly after being taken from
the wreck. Four of her favorite dogs
were also killed. The old woman was SI
years old and lived in voluntary exile in
the same old dilapidated hut exactly forty
eight years.
The story of her eccentric life would
till a book. When she took up her soli
tary abode she was 36 yoars old. People
remember her as a stout, healthy and
comely woman. The story goes that in
ner youthful days she fell in love with a
prepossessing young man, who followed
the sea lor a living. He left with the
promise that ir. live years he would make
tier his bride. He never returned, having
been nnprised into the service of another
country *Ble died in a French prison
-ixty 4 rcim-ago, but the old woman kept
his *i s white ever green, would never have
unyibingtodo with men, and in her bosom
when dead was found the last letter from
her lover, faded with age, written just
before he died. The woman grew melan
choly. forsook her family and friends, re
ceived a small inheritance from her fath
er, and, in 1537, took up the life of a her
mit. She fled at the approach of strangers,
was a good shot, anil during the winter
reason her hut hung full of game brought
down by her unerring rifle.
She abhorred men, never spoke to them
.f she could help it, and lived in the so
ciety of her cats and dogs, of which she
had 19 of the former and 12 of the latter.
Frequently she was not seen for months.
The rumor in the neighborhood was that
she was a miser and had considerable
money bid away, but none has yet tieen
foynd in the debris of her hut. The Rev.
D. D. Trexler will officiate at her funeral
Thursday. Her rude life had made her
healthy and strong, and when she died
be was as well preserved as a woman of
fifty.
rEXCE-CUTTKKSIN NIAY MEXICO
Many Miles of Wires Nipped by the In
* dlgnant Cowboys.
A Las Vegas (N. M.) dispatch to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat says: Fence-cut
ling is going on in Colfax county at a
most destructive rate under a strong or
ganization. An almost unbroken line of
w ire from the Panie to the Toguisguite,
91 miles, has been cut.
The heaviest sufferers are the Ked
lliver Cattle Company, 4 miles; Col. J. S.
Taylor, 20 miles; \V T . Miles. 4 miles; J. \V.
Keller, 6 miles; Francis Glutton, 15 miles;
J. <L Ilunean, 5 miles. The work on the
f ncesot the Dubuque Cattle Company
began last night, and they will lose ten
miles of wire. The cutters are not
known.
The work of the feuce-cutters was as
systematic as the workings of a metro
politan police force. Each man was
mounted, and they were placed in squads
of convenient numbers. The squads would
ride up to the fences, a man would drop
out at a corner and cut for the extent of
half a mile or more up to where another
fellow had begun work, then jump into
the saddle and rush to the head of the line
again, after the style of schoolboys play
ing leapfrog. They cut the panels in the
middle, leaving not one solid panel along
the entire line of devastation.
This is done because heavy cattle-own
ers fence more ground that their deeds
call for.- In so doing they keep cattle on
the public domain front getting at the
water, for the want ol which they drift
against the fences and die from thirst.
Three hundred and fifteen head ol cattle
died alongC’ol. Taylor’s lences last spring,
which goes to show the evil ol barbed
wire in endless lengths.
Senator Dorsey, who owns sixty miles
square of fenced lands at I’alo Blanca,
addressed the cutters at Springer yester
day, and said to them that if they would
inform him when they got ready to begin
operations on his wire he would take it
down voluntarily and reel it up, thus
saving tons of barb that would otherwise
go to waste. They said they would give
him notice in time to save trouble.
A GREAT LAND CASE.
.V Big English Syndicate Suit in Mis
sissippi.
The great English land syndicate of
Mississippi, which has no parallel in his
tory, except in the George Law Mississip
pi bubble of 150 years ago, and the Mul
berry Sellers Missouri speculation oi later
date, says a Jackson special of Feb. 2 to
the Memphis Avalanche, is now the
prominent feature of litigation in the
Federal Court in session here. The rich
empire of the Yazoo delta lands is the
cause of the unpleasantness arising be
tween the litigants. The great suit was
brought to an end to-day by Judge Hill s
decision appointing a receiver.
The opinion ot the court, delivered this
morning, was that Thomas VTat
son, o*' Chicago, the complain
ant. Is to have all the millions of
acres in the controversy placed in the
bands of a receiver, and thus the prop
erty passes at present from the control 06
Byron H. Evers, agent and partner of the
Kritisb house. The British partners afso
quarreled in the course of the controvijfsy,
and it is generally charged in the j*ad
ings that Evers was at work to swlidle,
it not the whole concern, cerfcinly
Thomas Watson, who paid all the ffioney
purchasing the delta property, by throw
ing a State tax title in the hands of anew
syndicate. ...
The charter incorporating the Britisn
syndicate, passed at the last session of
the Legislature, figures in the case, and
a mass of racy affidavits, idectifying By
ron H. Evers with Edward Evers, of St.
Louis notoriety, were read at the trial.
I.AWTOX IV THE CVBINET.
PAHTOFGEORGIA’S DELEGATES
GO TO PRESS HIS CASE.
A Flood of Callers on the President-
Fllect at His Metropolitan Hotel—Gen.
Walthall, of Mississippi, Said to be in
Favor with Mr. Cleveland.
New York, Feb. s.—President Cleve
land was up by 9 o’clock this morning.
He breakfasted about half an hour later.
Meanwhile politicians and cranks were
waiting in the lower corridor ol the Vic
toria Hotel to see the incoming Chief
Magistrate. They began to arrive soon
after 9 o’clock, and there was a continual
stream of would-be visitors throughout
the morning. It was amusing to see the
cranks come in and ask it Mr. Cleveland
was up and “can 1 see him.” One of
these fellows waited at the hotel desk half
an hour for an answer to his card, and
was finally told by the clerk that the
President-elect was very busy, and that
he’d tietter come around later.
CLEVELAND’S CHEERFULNESS.
The President-elect looked bright and
cheerful when he got ready to receive
callers, and Col. Lament wore his best
smile. Among the first to be admitted to
Mr. Cleveland’s inner room were Senator
Doolittle, of Illinois, Gen. Ewing, of
Ohio, Congressman Van Eaton and Sena
tor George, ot Mississippi. Their inter
views lasted half an hour or more, and
when they came down stairs they looked
pleased, as though their visit was satis
l.ictory. Then Mayor Grace, Gen. Thaler,
of the Board of Health, and Theodore
Meyers went up to shake hands and have
an informal chat with Mr. Cleveland.
Their visit was short and sweet. Senator
Markham and Sidney Webster then got a
few minutes’ audience.
AN ALL-PAY’S RUSH.
When tbe rush began it lasted all day.
CM. Lainont said that the visitors simply
h id an informal chat with the President,
and that there was still nothing definite
as to the composition ot the Cabinet. The
belief was expressed bv some of Mr.
Cleveland’s callers that lie does not yet
know himself who he will select, and that
the question will not be settled before his
return to Albany.
NATURE OF CLEVELAND’S INVITATION.
Despite the statements to the contrary,
it is well understood that most of the
Democratic Senators and a number of the
Democratic Representatives have re
ceived, if not direct Invitations, at least
direct intimation lrom Mr. Cleveland,
which will induce them to visit him in
New York. Then, of course, there is the
general invitation besides to all who de
sire to come. They all understand that
they are to give such information as they
possess respecting the public men whom
Mr. Cleveland thinks of putting in his
Cabinet. They also understand that they
may he asked lor their views about ques
tions of public policy. Other Democratic
statesmen went over to New York to-night.
In this connection it may be said that
there are certain men who have been in
Mr. Cleveland’s mind for sometime as
those from whom he would like to select
his Cabinet.
SOME OF THE PROMINENT MEN.
Most of these names are well known
and have been thoroughly can
vassed. Messrs. Bayard, Garland,
Whitney, McDonald, Vilas, Frank Jones,
McClellan and A. It. Lawton, ol Georgia,
are among them. There is one other
name which has not been canvassed at
all, although it has beeu constantly be
f<ire Mr. Cleveland’s mind. It is that of
Gen. Walthall, of Mississippi. While the
newspapers have been talking about Mr.
Lamar, and a little knot of poli
ticians have been talking about
Mr. Money, of Mississippi,
-Mr. Cleveland has been thinking of
Gen. Walthall. It cau be stated too that
lie has the fullest and most favorable in
formation about Walthall. Finally, it can
be asserted positively that Mr. Lamar has
assured Mr. Cleveland that he would not
accept a Cabinet position il it were offer
ed him.
Among the callers on Mr. Cleveland, in
addition to those mentioned above, were
W’m. H. Barnum, Hubert O. Thompson,
Senators Vance ot North Carolina, Jonas
of Louisiana, and Gorman of Maryland,
Gen. Hancock, Gen. Franklin ot Connec
ticut, Gen. Frye, Col. Goode of Virginia,
Gen. Stephenson of Illinois, Judge Moul
o>n of Illinois, Roswell P. Flower, and
Win. C. Whitney.
The statement made this morning that
the National Democratic Committee as
such would wait on Mr. Cleveland is said
to be without foundation. Mr. Cleveland
will return to Albany on Saturday after
noon.
GEN. LAWTON’S BACKING.
W ashington, Feb. s.—The members of
the Georgia delegation who have gone to
New York to present to Cleveland the
name of Gtn. A. R. Lawton for a Cabinet
pos ; tion are Messrs. Hardeman, Turner,
Crisp, Reese and Nicholis.
IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Kiver* and Harbor* Cause Heated
Word* In the Lower House.
Washington, Feb. s.—ln the Senate
to-day Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, of
fered a resolution, which was agreed to,
directing the Committee on Naval A flairs
to investigate the organization of the
navy and all questions touching its line
and staff corps and all ranks and grades,
together with questions of pay and pro
motion. The resolution authorizes the
committee to sit during the recess of the
Senate and to send for persons and pa
lters, and requires it to report at the
next session.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the House to-day Mr. Itelmont, from the
( oinuuttcc on Foreign Affairs, reported hick
a resolution requesting the President to cause
copies of all communications which have been
received respecting the Congo Conference,
and especially copies of the text of the com
ntissions or powers sent by this government to
each of the three American plenipotentiaries
<>r agents, to he immediately transmitted to
the House, it was adopted.
Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, from the
Committee on Kules, reported an amendment
to the special “ten objections” rule so as to
provide that objections shall not be called for
until a 10-minute debate has proceeded.
After a debate of a rather personal charac
ter bet ween Messrs. Heid, of Maine, and Mc-
Millin, of Tennessee, the amendment to the
rules was adopted.
Mr. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, rising to a
question of privilege, sent to the Clerk's desk
and had read extracts from speeches made
yesterday by Messrs, lteed.of Maine, and His
cock, of New York, reflecting upon the Com
mittee on Rivers and Harbors. At the full
meeting of the committee this morning he
said it had been unanimously agreed that
those remarks should he denounced on the
floor of the House as a slander upon the eom
mitttee. The committee unanimously de
nounced the imputations upon it as utterly
base and groundless. The committee had no
desire to have these insolent remarks taken
from the Record. It was willing to let them
stand as evidence of the kind of criticism that
was directed against the action of the com
mittee, Asa member of Congress, and as *
gentleman, he resented the insults which the
gentlemen sought to heap upon their asso
ciates.
MOKE FIERY WORDS.
This occasioned another heated debate, in
which both Messrs. Reid and Hiscock ad
hered t* their remarks of yesterday, and par
liamentary restrictions were ignored by seve
ral gentlemen, but nothing carneof it and the
matter wu®tlnally dropped.
The House then proceeded to business un
der the new rule, and half a dozen bills of
local interest only were passed.
The House at 3:25 went into committee of
the whole with Mr. Hammond, of Georgia,
in the chair, on the river and harbor bill.
Mr. Sjiooner, of Rhode Island, while favor
able to the general principle of internal im
provement, protested against the bill as dis
criminating against the locality which he rep
tesented.
Mr. Spooner managed, bv pro forma amend
ments. offered every live minutes, to make an
hour’s speech, devoted especially to a com
parison of the commerce of Texas and of
Rhode Island.
Rending action the committee rose.
Mr. Holman, of Indiana, from the Commit
tee on Appropriations, reported the legisla
tive, executive and judicial appropriation
hill, and it was referred to the committee of
the whole.
The House then, at 5:15 o’clock, tcok a re
cess until 10 o’clock to-morrow.
SILVER DOLLARS.
Mr. Brown Stands Cp for the Standard
But Not the Trade Coin.
Washington, Feb. 6. —At 2 o’clock to
day the Senate look up the hill for the re
demption of the trade dollar. Upon
this Mr. Brown took the floor. He argued
that the true policy of the United States
was to develop the resources of their
own country, and leave other nations to
look out for themselves. Above all, it
was important to maintain the balance of
trade in our favor, even it for this pur
pose it should become necessary to in
crease the tariff duties and to 6hut out
all foreign luxuries. Gold would then
flow in from abroad, and in time would
be suflicient to retire every legal tender
note, and leave us with a currency com
SAVANNAH, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY t>, 1885.
posed exclusively of gold and silver. It
should be clearlv announced that the
production of silver was one of
the industries of the United States,
and that the nation was
planted on that plattorm and would not
get off of it. Mr. Brown opposed the Sen
ate Committee’s amendment to the House
bill ? and hoped that tbe House bill pro
viding merely for the redemption of the
trade dollars would be passed by the
Senate and that the Senate provision to
suspend the coinage of standard silver
dollars would not be passed.
Mr. Bayard followed. He remarked
upon the exceeding importance of the
question before the Senate and the fact
that notwithstanding its importance
there were scarcely a score of Senators in
the chamber.
Mr. Bayard strongly opposed the re
demption ot the trade dollar tit its lace
value. Indeed, be objected to the word
“redemption” in connection with it.
Trade dollars were in the same category
as silver bars. After giving a history of
the coinage of the United States and of
the trade dollars, Mr. Bayard said that in
1806 the trade dollar was struck out from
the list ot coins ot the United States. It
never had any place there except to the
extent of five dollars. Mr. Bayard advo
cated a suspension of the silver coinage
act. He would prefer an act favoring a
more prompt suspension than that pro
vided by the Senate committee's amend
ment under consideration, but if tbe
present measure was the best that could
now be had he would support it. Mr.
Bayard occupied the time to the adjourn
ment, which was taken at 3:45 o’clock.
LEGATE’S PROFANITY.
Ihe Forcible Manner in Which Legate
Speaks of the St. John M**ter.
Washington, Feb. s.—James F. Le
gate, of Kansas, who is said to have been
a go-between in the St. John negotiations,
has been summoned here by the Springer
committee. He Is a large, red faced and
very profane man. The following is pub
lished as the report ol an interview had
with him to-day:
‘•What are you summoned before the
Springer committee for, Gen. Legate?”
“By , sir, you kuow as much about
that as I do.”
“It is said that you are wanted to
testify as to the conduct of pension offi
cials in the Ohio campaign?”
“I know nothing about it, sir. I
haven’t any idea what they want with
me.”
“Perhaps,” suggested the reporter,
“they want to pump you about the St.
John matter?”
“Well, they’ll he smart if they
get any answers out of me about it,” re
torted Mr. Legate.
THE RIVERS AND HARBORS.
The House to-day proceeded with the
river and harbor bill as far as the clause
making provision tor the harbor at Sandy
Bay, Mass., and took a recess until to
morrow pending final action on that sec
tion. The committee has decided that it
will be useless to attempt to force the bill
through with the Eads Galveston harbor
scheme embodied in it. They have there
fore determined to amend by striking out
the section, and will recommend instead
that $500,000 be appropriated for Galves
ton, to be expended through the regular
channels. This action was loreed upon
the committee through the merciless ham
mering agaiust the proposition to give
Capt. Eads carte blanche to expend three
quarters of a million in any manner he
might see fit. Every member who has
spoken in opposition to the bill has ob
jected to the Galveston grab, and Mr.
Willis, the Chairman of the committee,
feared that the whole bill would fail il
the Eads project was insisted upon, more
than fifty members having openly ex
pressed a determination to oppose the
passage of the bill unless the objection
able feature was stricken out. By taking
a recess this evening instead of the usual
adjournment the friends of the bill hope
to be able to dispose of it finally on Satur
day.
FLORIDA POST OFFICES.
The following Florida post offices have
been discontinued: Joella, in Alachua
county, and Waverly, in Bradford county.
The mail in the former case goes to Gracy
post office, and in the latter to Providence
post office.
Republican Senators In Caucus.
Washington, Feb. s.—The Republican
Senators met in caucus after the adjourn
ment ol the Senate this alternoon, and
discussed for an hour the condition of the
business of the session. It was decided
to continue the discussion of the anti-sil
ver coinage bill for the present. No other
action was taken.
The possibility of reaching action upon
the land grant forfeiture bills was tbe
principal subject of discussion, and wide
differences of opinion were developed in
respect to which one of these measures
shall have precedence. It is probable
that another caucus will tie called to lur
ther consider the matter.
The Two Courts Martial.
Washington, Feb. s.—The record and
findings of the court martial in the case
of 001. A. P. Morrow were to-day for
warded to the Acting Judge Advocate
General of tbe Army, by whom they will
i>e reviewed before being submitted to
the Secretary of War. The trial lasted
only two days, and only one witness w r as
examined, as the court was ordered by
the President. The case will eventually
be submitted to him for final action. The
trial of Gen. Swaim upon the new charge
preferred against him will begin before
the general court martial in session in
this city on Saturday.
Capt. Eads’ Stand.
Washington, Feb. s.—At a meeting of
the River and Harbor Committee to-day
it was decided to report amendments to
the river and harbor appropriation bill,
eliminating the item which proposed to
make Capt. Kails consulting engineer for
the Mississippi River Commission and to
place him in charge of the im
provements of Galveston harbor. The
proposed amendments will decrease
the appropriation tor Galveston harbor
from $750,000 to $500,000 and will provide
that no part of this sum shall be expend
ed until the harbor commission, provided
for in tbe bill, examine the harbor and
make a report.
1 lie Postal Exhibit.
Washington, Feb. s.—To the high
charges for labor, transportation, etc.,
the sunt of $lO,OOO appropriated for the
display of the post office exhibit at the
New Orleans Exposition, has been ex
hausted, and the representative of thede
-1 mrtment at New Orleans has been directed
to discharge the employes. The post
office exhibit will therefore remain in
complete unless additional funds are pro
vided by Congress. The Third Assistant
Postmaster General denies the published
statement that the agent of the depart
ment has exceeded the sum appropriated
in his expenditures.
The Spoliation l.aw.
Washington, Febt s.—lnquiries con
tinue to be received here as to the status
of the French spoliation claims bill
notwithstanding the publication in va
rious connections of the fact that it has
passed l*oth houses, been signed by the
President, and is now a law, and that the
President has recently forwarded to Con
gress a request from the Secretary of
state for an appropriation to enable the
State Department to cause a preliminary
search to be made of the records of the
French Prize Court in order to carry out
the provisions of this act.

Washington, Feb. 6.—The legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill,
reported to the House of Representatives
to-dav, recommends an appropriation of
$51,213,701, which is $1,088,468 less than

GORDON LOSES KHARTOUM
THE FATE OF THE GENERAL A
MATTER OF DOUBT.
Grave Fears That He has been Slain—
Treachery ou the Part of One of His
Native Allies the Cause of the Dis
aster—The Discovery a Thunderclap
to the British—The Situation Serious
in the Extreme.
London, Feb. s.—Gen. Wolseley tele
graphed this morning that Khartoum
had fallen. He said that when Col. Wil
son, who went from Metemneh to Khar
toum, arrived at the latter place, he
found it in the hands of the rebels. He
returned to Metemneh under a heavy
tire from l>oth banks of the river. The
rebels secured their victory by treachery.
Gen. Gordon is probably a pri'soner in the
hands ol the victors.
THE DATE OF THE DISASTER.
The War Office this morning issued tele
gram* from Gen. Wolseley announcing that
the fall of Khartoum took place Jan. 26. He
says that Uol. Wilson arrived at Khartoum ou
Jan. 28, and wa* greatly surprised to find that
the enemy were in possession of that place.
He immediately started on his return down
the river, and proceeded under a heavy fire
from the rebels. When some miles below
Shublaka Cataract U’oi. Wdson’s steamers
were wrecked, but he and his whole party
managed to reach an island in safety, where
they are secure. A steamer has gone to bring
them back to the British camp near Metem
neb. Gen. Wolseley says that be has no in
formation regarding the fate of Gen. Gordon,
and does not kuow whether he is dead or alive.
WILSON’S RECEPTION.
When Sir Charles Wilson reached Khar
toum lie found that FI Mahdi’s forces occupied
both the town and citadel. He tried to land
and ascertain the fate of Gen. Gordon, but
tills step he found impossible. The enemy’s
guns were turned upon him in full force. He
was. therefore, compelled to turn his back
upon the fallen city and return to Gubat
without finding out whether Gen. Gordon was
dead or alive.
THE EFFECT ON THE CABINET.
The news created grave apprehension in re
gard to the whole Egyptian problem among
the members of tbe Cabinet. Mr. Gladstone
and Earl Granville started for London as soon
as the news reached them. Many military
ad' horities are of the opinion that Gen. Gor
don sent the greater part of his troops down
the Nile to meet Gen. Stewart’s force an t so
depleted the garrison in the town anil citadel
of Khartoum that an attack by the enemy
from Omdurman was rendered much easier.
The greatest activity prevailed at tbe War
Department tins afternoon. Many of the offi
cials remained on duty all last night.
A NATIVE’S VERSION OF THE DI3ASTEK.
A native reports that El Mahdi had 60,000
men in the vicinity of Khartoum, and that lie
introduced a number of his emissaries into
tlic city. These emissaries mingled freely’
with the native troops under Gen. Gordon,
and by bribes and threat* and by working on
their religious feelings, induced them to mu
tiny. Seien thousand of the garrison de
serted to the rebels, leaving Gen. Gordon only
2,500 faithful soldiers. With this small force
lie attempted to hold the city against El
Mahdi’s great army, but afterseveie fighting,
in which a large number of the rebels were
killed, he was compelled to surrender.
ENGLAND’S EXCITEMENT.
The excitement in Londou and every
where in the British isles rose to fever
heat, 'the clubs anil public re.-orts of
every description were thronged all day with
crowds of people eager to catch tjie last sylla
ble of intelligence from tho distant Egyptian
desert.
At 2 o’clock this afternoon through Fleet
street and the Strand it was almost impossi
ble to make one’s way, so crowded were these
l borough fares with throngs of curious aud ex
cited citizens. Most of the people took a
gloomy view of the position of the British
troops in the Soudan. The jubilant gladness
which has characterized England in regard to
Egypt ever since the welcome news of Gen.
Stewart’s successful arrival in the neighbor
hood of Metemneh was received, gave way
i hi* afternoon to univer*ai depression, and
expressions of dismay and forebodings came
from almost everybody.
OFFICERS OFFER THEIR SERVICES.
The War Office was besieged with army offi
cers tendering their services for active duty
in the Soudan. Numerous telegrams were re
ceived from officers throughout the country
asking for assignments to a rescue expedition,
should the government conclude to take such
action. The capture of Khartoum created
grave fears, especially in army circles,for the
safety of Gen . Stewart and his army. A
number ot military officers of repute even
express the opinion that unless reinforce
ments are hurried forward to Korti the fall of
Khartoum may lead to disasters to tbe forces
under Lord Wolseley and Gen.'Earle.
A Cabinet Council was summoned to meet
at once. Premier Gladstone was fearfully
disturbed by the news, and some people be
lieved that he will resign,
l ord Wolseley telegraphed this afternoon
lhat he did not consider the British position
.•u Gubat in any immediate danger.
Gen. Wolseley. in a private letter, says: “I
have personally known only two heroes in the
course of my life. One was Gen. Lee, the
other is Gen. Gordon.”
Col. Wilson had three steamers, two of
which were wrecked in the Nile exactly hair
way between Khartoum and Metemneh. The
third steamer, bearing Col. Wortley and his
party, came on to the British camp near Mc-
Uffiiiell.
BLAMING THE GOVERNMENT.
The Pall Stall Gazette this evening, in re
ferring to the Khartoum calamity, says:
•‘Nobody can accuse our gallant troops of
losing a single moment in their llerce race
against tune in hastening to the rescue of the
garrison at Khartoum. The responsibility
rests solely with the Ministers, who refused to
allow the Nile expedition to start, in spite of
warnings and entreaties, until it was too late.
The vote of Parliament in favor of an appro
priation of £BOO,OOO for the relief of Gen.
Gordon was deferred until Aug. 5. Even
then, if the expedition had been sanctioned
forthwith, precious days would have been
gained, but it was not sanctioned until Aug.
12, when the government finally resolved that
it must relieve Gen. Gordon. That period of
hesitation sacrificed Khartoum. Islam is now
victorious.
ACTIVITY NOW THE WATCHWORD.
‘The revolt and fall of Khartoum will per
meate the arch of the world, ami unless the
mfnistry display boldness and wariness equal
to their former dilitorinees, a catastrophe
worse than that at Khartoum will follow.
England dare not fly before the Eastern foe.
H would mean war and mutiny from one end
of Asia to the other. She must reinforce her
garrisons everywhere, including India, even
if if shall be necessary to call for vo unteers
to tio the work, Gen. Earle must advance
• apidly to Berber and Metemneh. The Sua
km garrison must be reinforced and the road
10 Berber cleared. Everv nerve must lie
s rained to prove that the Khartoum disaster
11 is stiffened the resolution to hold England’s
flag aloft In the face of every foe. Our duty
is not to flinch, but to prepare for eventuali
l ics and relieve Metemneh by water. We have
f tiled to save Gordon, we must now save the
steamboat.”
WOLSELKY’S FIRST INTIMATION.
The first news of the fall of Khartoum re
ceived by Gen. Wolseley was brought by a mes
tcuger who left the island where Col. Wilson
was stranded and came on foot to Gubat.
Two messengers were dispatched to Korti via
Abu Klea and Gakdul. They reached their
destination in safety owing to the fact that
news of Khartoum’s fall had not reached the
desert. The intelligence of the disaster, how
ever. has since spread far and wide. Some of
the tribes that have hitherto professed friend
whip for England have declared for El Mahdi.
Arabs still hold Metemneh. The garrison
there received the news of the fall of Khar
toum with repeated salvos of artillc-ry.
WILSON’S ARRIVAL AT KHARTOUM.
AVhen Col. Wilson’s flotilla approached
Khartoum it was compelled to run a gauntlet of
heavy fire from both hanks. The rebels had four
Krupp guns on the river hanks at Haifujeh to
bombard the steamers. When the British
force reached Omdnrman numbers of rebels
continued the fusillade. Things looked worse
when it was discover* and that the enemy was
in possession of the Island of Tuttif just out
side of the city. The English still pushed
ahead, hut were dismayed to find that the
garrison commenced firing upon them. No
flags were flying from the public buildings,
and the town appeared to he in the undis
puted possession of the enemy. The palace
seemed to have been gutted. Finding it im
liossihle to land in the face of the
overwhelming numbers of the rebels the
British were obliged to retire.
CONFLICTING RUMORS CONCERNING GOR
DON.
The rumors concerning the fate of Gen.
Gordon arc many and varied, hut all agree
that El Mahdi captured Khartoum by treach
ery. The most reliable reports jHiint to Faroz
Pasha as the traitor. It is said that he being
left in charge of the ramparts, opened the
sates on Jan. 2ti anl admitted the enemy.
Some rumors state that El Mahdi, together
with a few Levantines, is cooped up in a
church. Others sav that Gen. Gordon has
been seen wearing El Mahdi’s uniform. The
majority agree, however, that Gen. Gordon
has been killed.
A dispatch from Gen. AVolseley states that
that Gen. Stewart, who was wounded in the
battle near Metemneh, is doing well. All the
British wounded have been brought hack to
Gakdul wells.
The government has given orders for fur
ther large shipments of stores to Egypt.
These orders were issued before the news of
the fall of Khartoum was received.
LABOUCHKKE’S ADVICE.
A letter from Henry Labouehere in the
morning papers is curious reading, in the
tight of the last news from Egypt. The bril
liant Radical urges the government to instruct
Gen. Gordon to withdraw the garrison from
Khartoum, with a view of preventing further
fighting and the useless expense of organizing
a government in the Soudan.
On the stock exchange to-day Egyptian
stocks dropped I*4 to 2 per cent, on account
of the disaster in Soudan Sates were de
pressed.
It is stated this evening that Commander
Cameron, the African traveler, has offered to
start at once for the Soudan to assist the
British in their campaign against the rebels.
Orders have been sent to Portsmouth haven
to liegin immediately the flttiug up of troop
ships.
A COUNCIL AT THE WAR OFFICE.
A council was held at the AVar Offioc this
evening. It was decided to advise the gov
ernment to dispatch 3,000 troops to Suakin
immediately. Gen. Stephenson telegraphs
that 5,000 men wUI be needed to clear the road
*
to Berber, as the news of the fall of Khar
toum will induce the central tribes to join
Osman Digna. Gen. Stephenson also advises
that the present strength of the troops in
Upper and Lower Egypt be maintained, aud
that reinforcements be drawn from England
and India. Gen Lord \V< lseley has renewed
liis demand for an expedition to Suakin to
consist of 3,000 men. under Gen. Greaves.
The Cabiuet Ministers held an informal
meeting to-night, but took no definite action.
Nothing will be decided upon until the Cabi
net council to-morrow.
WOLKSLEY REPORTED ADVANCING.
It is reported that Gen. Wolseley lias com
menced au advance from Korti for the relief
of the troops near Metemneh, and that he has
sent orders to Gen. Earle to hasten hi* advance
against Berber in order to assist in the relief
of Metemneh. The objective point of all of
Gen. Wolseley’s movements is now Metemneh.
Press messages from Soudan are greatly re
tarded. Several newspapers have made ap
plication to the War Office for permits to com
municate instructions to correspondents, but
they have all received replies that Gen.
Wolseley lias sole authority in the matter.
Liberal and Conservative papers generally
express the opinion that the sole responsibility
for the fall of Khartoum rest* with the Minis
try, who refused to allow the lelief expedition
to start in time. The Conservatives intend to
raise the question of confidence in the Minis
try as soon as Parliament reassembles.
THE THRONG AT THK WAR OFFICE.
The War Office was thronged throughout
the day, with foreign ministers, member- of
tbe House of Commons, and other pub ic offi
cials. Orders have been sent to Portsmouth
haven to hold various transports now there in
readintss fur immediate service.
At various political and other meetings
held throughout the kingdom tho speakers
expressed sympathy with Gen Gordon, and
the hope that the government would adopt
vigorous and decisive measures.
The newspaper offices everywhere ars be
sieged with anxious inquirers.
Wilfred Blunt says that it is his opinion
that El Mahdi, being humane and well ac
customed to the usage of war, will treat Gen.
Gordon well.
THE FINANCIAL HITCH.
There is a hitch iu the negotiations for an
internationa. guarantee of the proposed
Egyptian loan. The German, Russian and
Austrian Governments demand greater power
of inquiry into the finances of Egypt than
Earl Granville will concede. It is expected
that the proposed united guarantee of the
loan will fail.
THE PRESS ACCOUNTS.
London, Feb. 6, 5 a.m.—The comments of
the morning papers on the disaster at Khar
toum are doleful but patriotic. The Standard
says that al: party spirit should be dropped,
and that one supreme effort must be made to
save Gen. Gordon in the presence ot a crisis
which can be likened to nothing in history
save the beginning of the Sepoy rebellion in
1 mlia.
The papers can find room for nothing except
news of the fall of Khartoum. Columns upon
columns of tbe history of the siege and the
efforts to relieve the place are published.
THE NEWS AT CAIRO.
Cairo, Feb. 5. —The first news of the fall of
Khartoum received here was from London.
The official dispatches have not been pub
lished. The tidings of the capture have
created the utmost consternation among the
inhabitants.
BKIBUL’S OCCUPATION.
The occupation of Beibul, near Assab, by
Italians some days ago was forcibly made.
The Egyptian Governor of the place protested
but without avail, and t ie Egyptian garrison
was forced to withdraw. The Khedive lias
notified the Porte of the Italian occupation.
An official note from Turkey has been re
ceived which declares that England denied
having made au agreement with Italy as to
the occupation of Egyptian ports, and that
Turkey lias requested Italy to withdraw tier
troops from the Red sea.
Sketch ot Khartoum.
Khartoum is a town of Sennaar, Africa,
tne centre of government of Egyptian Soudan,
situated on the banks of the Bahr el-Azrck
or Blue Nile, nearly at its junction with the
White Nile, lat. 15 deg. 36 min. N., lon. 32 deg.
88 min. E.; population about 20,000. It is
about 1.450 feet above the sea, blit the inunda
tions of tbe White Nile frequently reach the
• artlien wall by which it is surrounded. The
houses are mostly constructed of millet stalks,
and scattered over a wide area; but the town
has recently I'ccu much altered. Dr. Schwein
furtli, on his return from his expedition into
the heart of Africa, in 1871, saw in it “a large
number of new brick buildings, a spacious
quay on the banks of the Blue Nile, and some
still more imposing erections on the other side
of the river.” There are extensive gardens
and rows of date palms plaffted nearly half a
century ago. 1 lie defective drainage of the
portion ol tile town built below high water
level renders it very unhealthy. The inhabi
tants are a mixture ol Egyptians, Berbers,
Arabs, Turks, .lews, Europeans and negroes.
They have a Coptic Church and a Catholic
mission. Khartoum carries on an extensive
ivory trade, mostly in the hands of six of the
larger merchants, which facilitates also the
operations of the regular slave traders, who
pour into the negro countries annually by
thousands, on the roads over Kordofan and
Darfoor. Tbe merchants of Khartoum main
tain a great number of settlements in dis
tricts as near as possible to the present ivory
countries, and among peaceful races devoted
to agriculture. They have apportioned the
surrounding territory among themselves, and
have brought the natives to aWcondition of
vassalage. They are represented by agents
who command the armed men of the country,
determine what products the natives shall
pay as tribute, appoint and displace the local
managers, carry on war or make alliances
with the chiefs, and once a year remit the
collected stores to Khartoum.
FROKIDA’S fair.
A Magnificent Display of Frults-The
Military’s Prize IJrlll.
Jacksonville, Fla., Feb. s.—The
weather to-day has been all that could be
desired. It has been the best day of the
fair and was marked by the largest at
tendance. It is conceded that the dis
play of fruit is the best ever exhibited.
It is very tastefully arranged and shows
firmly that Florida is sanguine of success
at New Orleans in this department. The
daily musical programme has been ex
cellent. The Magnolia Hand, of Boston,
will probably receive the premium for the
best outside of the State. The Eustis
band will probably be awarded the prize
for the best in Florida. A patent orange
wrapper receives much attention. The
display of vegetables is good, em
bracing a large number of varieties.
They are fresh, and in fine condition. The
Fruit Growers’ Association adopted a res
olution to incorporate an exchange with a
capital of $50,000, and appointed a com
mit tee to prepare articles and book sub
scriptions. Much interest is shown in the
enterprise. The military contest occurred
this morning. The following companies
wore present: Jacksonville Artillery,
Light Infantry, Metropolitans, Gaines
ville Cadets, and Gainesville Guards.
The Jacksonville Light Infantry took the
premium.
Evans, of the Gainesville Guards, was
the best drilled individual.
The Cadets were excluded from partici
pation in the contest.
Three races were run. They were of no
special interest.
The body of a white infant was found
floating in McCoy’s creek to-day.
LEGISLATIVE DISCUSSION.
Tallahassee, Feb. s.—ln both Houses
the day was spent chieflv in discussing
the convention bill. The 'members differ
mainly as to the mode of registration and
the basis of representation. The bill now
provides lor the election oI delegates
equal in number to the present Legisla
ture, to meet the second Tuesday In June,
and also that the constitution, when
framed, shall not take effect till adopted
by the people.

MR. HENDRICKS IN DIXIE.
HOUSING WELCOMES AT AT
LANTA AND BIRMINGHAM.
A Speech from a Hotel Balcony at the
Georgia Capital—Handshaking tu the
House of Representatives—Enthusias
tic Throngs at the Alabama Manufac
turing Ceutre.
Atlanta, Feb. 5. —Hon. Thomas A.
Hendricks and party reached Atlanta
this morning at 4 o’clock in a special car.
At 8:30 they were escorted to the Kimball
House, where breakfast was served. The
company they met at breakfast consisted
of about thirty prominent citizens. A
large crowd was congregated about the
hotel. The Mayor introduced Mr. Hen
dricks, who addressed the peojile from a
balcony. He said:
Gentlemen of thkState of Georgia: I
did not expect to receive this welcome at
your hands to-day. I accept it as a tribute
from a great State of this Union, a State that
is firmly united with the great State of In
diana, from which I conie. [Applause.J I
accept it with pleasure because it is an honor
done me by the people themselves. We have
recently iu the North, as well as in the South,
passed through a great political contest, I
think the greatest the country has ever seen.
It has resulted, iu my judgment, most glori
ously. The country is for the first time in a
great many years to be placed under the
management of the Democrats. [Applause.]
I believe that the change will be lor the wel
fare not only of the white race, but of the
colored race of our country, so many of whom
I see here to-day.
THE CLOSENESS OF THE VOTE.
Did you observe that of the millions of
votes cast the question was finally decided
■pon the ballots of 1,142 men in the Slate of
New York? This entire country had its po
litical fortunes decided by that email vote,
and when it came to be known that there was
1,142 majority lor Cleveland and Hendricks in
the State of New York it was then known
that the country had gone for the Democrats
aud that a difference of 1,142 votes decided
the judgment of 54,000,000 of people. So grand
a spectacle has never been witnessed in any
country of the world. It is the force of the
sentiment that the majority shall govern,and
Republicans Nortn aud south now bend their
heads in respect to the judgment of the ma
jority, as the Democrats have done m the
past, and is it not an evidence of increased
union between ail sections of the country? It
was not in the South that that small differ
ence controlled the vote.
THE SOLIDIFIED UNION.
It was not in this empire State of Georg a
that the small majority controlled 54,000,000
people, but it was in a Northern State. It
was in New York, a great and powerful State,
that a majority of 1,142 was given, and in the
North aud South that became the judgment
of all the people. So I think t can >ay to you
that we stand in the Union more firmly to-day
than ever before. [Applause.]
Alter the speaking the ladies were
driven around tbe citv and the gentlemen
proceeded to the hall of the House of Rep
resentatives, where a reception was held
and several hundred persons were pre
sented to the Vice President-elect. The
party left for Birmingham, Ala., at 10
o’clock, and will proceed from there to
the New Orleans Exposition. Much en
thusiasm was manifested over Mr. Hen
dricks.
THE RECEPTION AT BIRMINGHAM.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 5. —The train
bearing Vice President Hendricks and
party was an hour and a quarter late, hut
2,000 citizens and the military companies
waited patiently in the rain and cold.
When the train reached the Sloss furnace
at the upper end of the city the whistles
of that furnace gave the’ signal of the
approach, and all the otaer furnaces, roll
ing mills and locomotives let loose at full
blast, making a perfect pandemonium.
The Birmingham Artillery fired a salute
of 100 guns. The peculiar condition of
the atmosphere was exactly suited for a
grand display made by the reflection from
the furnaces and innumerable coke
ovens. It appeared as the veritable
“pillar of fire by night.” Mr. Hendricks
was conducted to tbe opera house, where
au immense throng awaited him.
THE SPEECH.
He was introduced by Mayor Lane in a
tew happy remarks. As soon as the ap
plause subsided tbe grand old statesman
stepped to the front of the platform and
said: “My countrymen.” The way these
words were pronounced filled the whole
audience with patriotic enthusiasm, hun
dreds rising to their feet. He spoke half
an hour, touching lightly upon the tariff
question, saying that he had heard that
the people of Birmingham knew irrore of
the tariff than he, but that the people of
Indiana, that State lying between Illinois
and Ohio, were willing to stand upon the
same platform that Alabama so heartily
indorsed. The party will remain over to
morrow’, visiting various points of inter
est around the city.
LOSS OF THK “\VM. KENNEDY.”
A Broken Shaft Causes a Leak Which
Sends Her to tho Bottom.
New A ork, Feb. s. —The steamship
Tallahassee, from Savannah, arrived here
to-day. On Feb. 3 at 3:30 o’clock in the
evening she passed the steamship William
Kennedy, of and from Baltimore for
Charleston, with her shaft broken and
leaking badly. She took her in tow, in
tending to run her into Cape Henry.
Alter towing her an hour the hawser
parted, and finding the leak gaining
rapidly, with a bad sea and night coming
on, Capt. Parker and the officers con
cluded to abandon towing and leave the
ship. He then transferred tbe crew,
numbering 21, without accident to the
steamship Tallahassee.
THE KENNEDY EN ROUTE TO SAVANNAH.
Baltimore. Feb. s. —The steamship
Wm. Kennedy, reported abandoned on"
Tuesday last off the North Carolina coast,
left this port on Saturday last for Savan
nah, temporarily supplying the place of
the McClellan. Chief Engineer Muir,
who has reached Baltimore, says that the
shaft broke in the sleeve, and the ship
then began to leak. After the attempt of
the Tallapassee to tow her, in which the
capstan was torn out, the leak increased,
and when she was abandoned the water
was waist deep in the engine room.
THE KENNEDY’S RESTING I’LACK.
The steamship William Crane arrived
at this port this evening, and reports hav
ing passed two masts above the water off
Lookout shoals, where it was ten fathoms
deep. They are supposed to be those of
the William Kennedy, as she was brig
rigged, and that was near the place where
she was abandoned.
HISTORY OF THE KENNEDY.
The William Kennedy was about twen
ty years old, having been built at Mystic,
Conn., in 1863. She was purchased by the
Merchants aud Miners’ Transportation
Company about twelve years ago, and
run off and on between this port and Bal
timore, under command of Capt.
H. D. Foster, being also on the
Providence route and afterw’ards
on the line between Charleston
and Baltimore as a companion ship of the
Saragossa. When abandoned she was
commanded by Capt. J. C. Parker. She
was a wooden vessel of 975 tons burthen,
and was a very serviceable lreight ship.
The company have been rather unfor
tunate of late with their ships, although
this has been the first vessel lost by them.
They can point with pride to their record
of never having lost a passenger.
SUNK ON AN ANCHORAGE.
Washington, Feb. s.—The Signal
Corps station at Portsmouth, N. C., re
ports that the steamer Norwood, plying
between Elizabeth and Moorehead City”
N. C|* ran on the anchor on Arbor Island
bar, Pamlico Sound, yesterday afternoon,
and sunk in eight feet of water. No lives
were lost. Part of the cargo and the ves
sel can be saved.
VIRGINIA COUPONS.
State Officials Enjoined from Refusing
to Receive Them for License Taxes.
Rich mond, V a ., Feb. s.—Judge Hughes,
of the United States Court, had an order
entered to-day in the case of Parson
against State Auditor Marye, which re
strains that official, the City Treasurer
and the Commissioner of Revenue of
Richmond from refusing to receive nearly
$5,000 worth of coupons in payment of
license taxes and all other dues due the
State of Virginia, whenever any person
may choose to tender such coupons in
payment of their taxes. He moreover
commands the Commissioner ol Revenue
to grant such parties license and permit
them to do business, and said parties shall
not be required to pay in anything other
than coupons. The order stands, how
ever, only until Feb. 10, when the ques
tions involved will be heard by the United
States Circuit Court. The bill filed in the
case raises questions not heretofore
brought out, but disobedience to the tem
porary order can involve only a case of
contempt of court, which cannot be a
serious matter where officers act under
the color of the statute law.
A Throat to Sing With.
What throat is the best for a singer to
teach high notes with? A sore throat. If
it becomes too sore, use Taylor’s Chero

voice.
FIRE’S COSTLY FEAST.
*595,000 Worth of Property Licked Up
in a New York Business Block.
New York, Feb. s.—One of the largest
fires witnessed in New York in a long
time broke out at midnight in the wine
vaults of Steinhardt Bros., at Nos. 112
and 114 Wooster street. The flames
spread with frightful rapidity throughout
the building, and, owing to the inflamma
ble nature ol the contents the fire depart
ment was unable to cope with the devour
ing element. The fire gained such head
way that the entire fire department of the
lower part of the city wa9 called out to
quell it. The six story iron building, ex
tending from Nos. 108 to 114 Wooster
street, and from No. 97 to No. 105 Green
street, was owned by Bernard & Muller.
At 1:30 o’clock this morning the root of
the building crashed in and shortly atter
wards the walls caved in,
crushing an adjoining house.
Contiguous to the burning struc
ture were a number of tenement houses,
aud Capt. McDonnell, of the
Eighth precinct, cleared the in
mates out and has now about 50 families
in bis station house. Opposite the burn
ing building is a row of tenements, and
the intense heat from the blazing struc
ture cracked the walls on the other side
of the street. At 2 o’clock this morning
the entire block bounded by Spring.
Prince, Wooster and Greene streets was
threatened.
SOME OF THE RUIN.
The damage done to S. B. Chittendon’s
building, on Barclay street and Park
Place, amounts to $50,000. It is fully in
sured. The costly presses of Major &
Knapp, lithographers, escaped destruc
tion, but are more or less badly damaged,
and the total loss of the firm on stock
valued at $200,000 is a little less than
$150,000. It is covered by insurance, dis
tributed among 30 companies and
amounting to $90,000. The damage to the
costly goods of Fntchie, importer ofdrugs
and oils, is estimated at $25,000, and may
reach $35,000. The firm is insured for
$14,000 in 35 companies. Its stock is
worth $250,00(1. The damage to John
Wygand’s stock of crockery is $30,000, and
liis insurance $64,000, distributed among
27 companies m policies ranging from
SI,OOO to $3,000. Edward Miller & Cos.
lose $30,000. They have insurance footing
up $20,000 in 13 companies. J. Snyder
loses SI,OOO. His insurance is SSOO.
A REVIEW OF THE LOSSES.
A critical review of the Josses at this
morning’s big fire in Wooster street foot
up a total of over $500,000, of which the
underwriters will have to pay quite three
fourths. Of the huge building where the
lire raged, and to which it was wholly
confined, nothing is left. Every dollar’s
worth of property, except what may he
found when the ruins cool down in the
buried safes is destroyed. The nearest
t stimates that can be made of the loss of
the tenants to-day are: First floor and
basement, Scott & Brown, chemists, $60,-
000; Steinhard Bros., wholesale liquor
dealers, $50,000; second floor, J. Rash
bower & U’o.. fringes and tassels, $13,000;
third floor, the Goodyear ludia Rubber
Glove Alanufacturing Company, $25,000;
fourth floor, Bernard Ullman, fringes and
novelties, $10,000; J. Dutton, lace goods
and canvas, $100,000; fifth floor, A. Nuss
hauer, straw goods, $7,000; sixth floor,
Rest, Fenner, Bmith & Cos., manufactur
ers of gold and silver headed caneb, $1,500.
The building was owned by Peter Bruener
and Henry S. Moore, furniture
manufacturers, who built it fifteen years
ago at a cost of $250,000. It is worse than
a total loss, as it will cost much labor to
clear the dangerous ruins awav. Build
ing No. 116, occupied hv Gillis A Geogbe
gan, manufacturers ot steam heat appa
ratus, was knocked entirely to pieces,
arid No. 118, occupied by C. A. Stocks,
hardware store, partly. The loss on these
is SIO,OOO. and the steam heat firms’ loss
on stock SIO,OOO. C. A. Stock’s hardware
is damaged $3,000. The damage to the
business house in Greene street and sur
rounding tenements may be put at $15,-
000. The total loss is $595,000.
LAURENS DEVASTATED.
Augusta, Ga., Feb. 5.—A destructive
fire occurred at Laurens, S. C., this morn

LOGAN NOMINATED.
The Illinois Republican Senatorial
Caucus Makes Its Choice.
Springfield, 111., Feb. s.—The Re
publican Senatorial caucus met this eve
ning, Senator Mason presiding. In his
address Mr. Mason remarked that the
Republicans of the entire country were
watching to see what the Republicans of
Illinois would do. If the Republicans
could do nothing else they could at least
prevent the election of a Democrat until
tbe Republican Governor could appoint a
Republican to fill the vacancy in the
United States Senate. Senator Whiting
nominated Gen. Logan, and was applaud
ed. Representative Cooley, of Knox
county, seconded tbe nomination. Rep
resentative Scharlan, of Uook, eulogized
Gen. Logan, and in the name of the Grand
Army of the Republic seconded
his nomination. Senator Thomp
son, of Champaign, Senator Ham
ilton, of Iroquois, Senator Morris,
of Hope, and several others made speeches,
lifter which, on motion of Mr. Fuller, ol
Boone, Gen. Logan was nominated by a
rising vote and by acclamation. A com
mittee was sent to notify him of the ac
tion of the caucus, and while they were
absent the caucus sang “Marching
Through Georgia,” and were singing it
when Gen. Logan escorted bv the com
mittee appeared at the door. The music
was kept up until he reached the Chair
man’s desk and was introduced. He
spoke with much feeling, and expressed
liis profound gratitude for the honor done
him by the caucus, and of his indebted
ness to the people of Illinois for the
honors received at their hands. H3 al
luded to the fact that the Legislature
was evenly divided, but said that
if all the Republicans stood
by him he would be
elected or would prevent the election of a
Democrat. When he was in the army
and was opposed by an equal number of
men the enemy never got the better of
him. He further said that he would not
have the office unless it came to him
honestly and honorably and he intended
to so conduct the fight as to meet the ap
probation of all honorable men. Gen.
Logan was frequently applauded during
the speech. After some more speeches by
various members the caucus adjourned.
30,000 AT THE EXPOSITION.
Substantial Evidence or the Improving
Prosperity of the Big Show.
New Orleans, Feb. s.—The weather
to-day was perfect and the attendance at
the World’s Fair could not have been less
than 30,000. The Exhibitors’ Association
met again and selected A. Benjamin, of
Grand Rapids, Mich.; H. B. White, of

mittee, which left here last night, will
appear before President Arthur on Mon
day, and state their case and the ex
hibitors’committee probably on tbe iol
lowing day. Subsequently both may
plead their cause together. The manage
ment is $319,000 behind, and an appro
priation sufficient to cover this indebted
ness is wanted, but no sum is named in
either of the memorials. On Saturday
the Belgian department of the exposition
will be formally opened, and the day will
he devoted to speech-making, etc. The
organ recitals every alternoon have be
come very popular. Appropriate cere
monies for the celebration of Free Masons’

Music Hall on Feb. 9. The members of
the fraternity and their families will be
cordially received.
A Newspaper’s Edition Seized.
Berlin, Feb. 6.—The government
seized entire edition of yesterday’s
Dalziger Zeitung, a Liberal paper, be
cause of the radical tone of its Hamburg
correspondence. The seizure is consid
ered an extraordinary action on the part
of the government, and is the first case of
the seizure of a newspaper which has oc
cured here within the past twenty years.
Words from Worthy Physicians.
Dr. B. R. Doyle, Wadley, Ga., says: ‘‘l
consider Brown’s Iron Bitters superior as
a tonic to any preparation now in use.”
Dr. W. J. Davis, Lewis, Iowa: “Brown’s
Iron Bitters gives the best satisfaction to
those who use it.” Dr. J. M. Klein,
Waterboro, S. C.: “Brown’s Iron Bitters
has given universal satisfaction.” Dr. S.
H. Myers, Sheboygan, Wis.: “I recom
mend Brown’s Iron Bitters for general
debility, loss of appetite and want ot
strength.” These are only four physi
cians. We could as easily cive similar
testimony from four thousand, did space
permit.

London, Feb. 5. -The mysterious
prisoner who was arrested on Tuesday
eteniiig in Whitechupel with Cunning
ham's missing brown box in his posses
sion was to-day arraigned in the Bow
Street Police Court. Me was formally
charged with complicity iu causing the

appeared as counsel for the defense. The
prisoner gave his name as Harry Burton.
He said that he was 26 years of age and
by occupation a cabinetmaker. He looks
1 “ n American. He managed to baffle
all the ettorts of the police to take his
photograph. When taken in court Bur
t m presented a haggard appearance and
seemed keenly alive to his unfortunate
position. The examination was briefly
confined to the taking of the prisoner's
statement concerning his identity and the
reading of the charge against him, and
he was then hurried back to Clerkenwell
prison, alter being formally remanded for
lurther hearing.
A retainer for the defsnse of Cunning

BURTON IN TERROR OF THE CROWD.
There is no doubt that the Fenians in
London are taking an active interest in
burton’s behalf. Despite the conceal
ment of the fact that Burton would be ar
raigned to-day there w T as a large crowd
iround the Bow street court wben he was
taken there. The court room Itself was
crowded, ami there was considerable ex
citement among the people. The police
used the greatest precautions for the safe
custody ot the prisoners, and the evident
fury of the crowd made Burton nervous,
tie could hardly speak when he was
placed on the dock, and at no time could
ne speak without faltering.
LOOKS LIKE AN AMERICAN,
it was difficult to obtain a close and
accurate description ot Burton during
nis brief presence in court owing to his
restlessness and his efforts to avoid scru
tiny. His hat was a tall felt, and he wore
a black coat. His entire appearance is
liistinctively American. Burton’s skin is
lair, his beard and moustache thiu and
light, his figure slender, nis cheek-bones
bigb, his cheeks hollow, and his nose
aquiline. He speaks with a strong Yan
kee accent. W lien searched there were
found in his pockets a great number of
papers.
THE COMING CONGRESS.
Paris, Feb. 6 .—La Figaro in an article
on the coming congrees oi dynamiters to
be held in Paris says:
“The formal opening of the congress will
take place on Feb. 23. Eleven delegates
will attend—of these six will be from
America.”
Seven of the delegates, La Figaro says,
are already in Paris, and these nave com
menced their labors. The meeting will
discuss the utility of explosions by dyna
mite in aiding the Irish cause, and the
question ot a union of the dynamite party
with the Fenians. La Figaro adds that
i he congress will also bring up for discus
son and decision the question as to
whether or not the members of the Eng
lish House of Commons who voted tor the
crimes act shall be executed.
LACK OF DENUNCIATION.
Rome, Feb. s.— La Moniteur De Home,
in a leading article to-day, expresses re
gret that Parnell and other Irish nation
alist leaders have made no allusion to the
dynamite outrages in their speeches. The
writer thinks that this looks bad. lie also
1 Ginks that it might be a wise course lor
tue Irish bishops to deny that they have

Denunciation as dynamiters, the writer
s ivs in conclusion, by Mr. Parnell and
the bishops would create a good impres
sion in England and elsewhere.
