KNOT-HOLE ANSWERS GIVEN.

of General News.
New York, Feb. 20 —The World’s Wash
ington special says: Senator Bayard re
turned to Washington and went directly to
the senate which was in executive session.
He carefully avoided th<*. general attention
that follows lym as the head of Mr. Cleve
land's cabineVand was not communicative to
his brother senators. Afterwards he was
visited at his house and asked:
“Are you at liberty to say whether you are
going to leave the senate or not I”
Mr. Bayaid said he had nothing definite to
say upon the subject. He wyd: “I greatly
prefer the senate to any other position and
nothing but a high sense of duty would tempt
me to resign my seat there.”
Mr. Bayard was asked if there was any
thing about his recent interview with Mr.
Cleveland that he was free to tell. Would he
answer whether he was going into the cal i At
<*rro» (low as the trea.*-? v natcre »i e
settled f Was it going to the east or wests
“He replied: “About my personal plans I
never affect any mystery. The questions you
ha\e asked relate to a matter not under my
discretion. I con say nothing. Mr. (Cleve
land has entire control of the construction of
his cabiiret, and he only can, with propriety,
disclose his personal preferences. I could not
tell much about it if I would.’’
“What is your impression of Mr. Cleveland
from your second visit?”
“My first good impression is strengthened.
Mr. Cleveland impresses me with his entire
singleness Os purpose. He is a man who has
all the advantage of a celibate’s life. He has
no family ties to distract his attention and is
absolutely devoted to the pub ic business.”
“There is some uneasiness among the demo
cratic senators about Mr. Cleveland. Some
of them fear he is not going to be a good
party man, ’ remarked the reporter.
“I do not think that such a word as party
was ever mentioned in any conversation I
have had with Mr. Cleveland. The subject
of Mr. Cleveland’s party ism is something I
have not thought much about. It would l>e
quite natural if he were not a partisan. He
was flirt elected mayor of a republican city.
He was elected governor by the help of many
republican votes. Without the help of the
independent republican’s vote he would liave
been beaten in the last campaign. I am
more convinced of that since I have learn* d
of the compactness of the dynamite or;, ■m
izations of New York. They were undoub -
edlyanayed against the democratic party.
The power and extension of these societies I
have learned since 1 introduced in the senate
a resolution denouncing the recent attempt to
blow up the house of parliament in Lon ! -il
My mail since has lx*en burdened with anony
mous .threatening letter-.”
“Do you think the independents should be
recognized in tho cabinet?”
“I have never heard ’hat they desired any
recognition. The uprising of the independ
ents in the campaign 1 regard as one of the
most encouraging things to those who love re
publican institutions. I should think it would
belie their position to group them as a mem- ;
her of a distinct differing party organ! ati* ,
The Times (Albany) special says: “I’resi- (
dent-elect Cleveland was not bothered with;
any visitors till the evening. Then he re- 1
ceived J. H. Oberly, chairman of the demo- '
cratic state committee of Illinois, anti A. C. ■
Hesing, of the Stoats Zeitung < >f Chicago,who ,
passed the evening with him. Mr. Cleveland
was in gcxxl humor, having written a good
deal of the copy of his inaugural address dur
ing the day, and finished considerable pri
vate correspondence.
Senator Lamar, of Mississippi, whose ab
sence from the senate in Washington led
many to think lie might. »x>ssibly lx, journe'-
ing to Albany to talk about the postmaster
generalship, did not come here. More than
ava the Albany politicians are confident that
Danu i Manning is to i?e secretary of the treas
ury,”
William C. Whitney, of New York, who
had a chat with the president-elect, is said to
have then earnestly advocated the selection
of Mr. Manning.
I*he Times’ Washington special says:
“There seems to be only one belief in the sen
ate and that is that Mr Bayard has consented
to be secretary of state under Mr. Cleveland.
From a trustworthy source it is learned that
Mr. Cleveland reached a conclusion some time
ago, and offered the place to Mr. Bay an 1
during <me of Ids visits to Albany. Having
considered the invitation Mr. Bayard intima
ted his willingness to accept the appointment
as a matter of duty, and then unfolded to
Mr. Cleveland his ideas about what the for
eign policy of the new administration should
be. Mr. Cleveland is said to have listened at
tentively to the suggestions of the Delaware•
senator, and when Mr. Bayard went to Al
bany he did so for the purpose of reading
that part of Mr. Clevelands inaugural ad
dress which relates to the foreign policy of
the government. From the same source it is
learned also that Mr. Cleveland’s address has
been entirely sketched out, and that other parts
of it w< uld perhaps be submitted to other gen
tlemen who are to head other departments be
fore it is given to the public on March 4.
“The talk is now that so much of the address
as relates to the interior department will be
read first by Senator Lamar, and that
he will have that department instead of the
postoffice. Mr. Lamar does not indicate by
any expression that he is to be considered as
a cabinet officer, but rather discourages the
good-natured terms of the address adopted by
those who have sufficiently intimate relations
with him to permit them to attempt to draw
him out by pleasantries. Democrats who
wish to see the cabinet made up of men of
tolerably equal ability are hoping that the re
port that Mr. Morse of Mas achusetts, is to
be secretary of the nt wy, as telegraphed from
Albany, is not true.”

London, Feb. 20.—Affairs appear to be in

He h«a- retreated ujxjn Abu Klea, before a
5 force of 9,000 men with five long-range guns,
sent against him by the inahdi. The retreat

, was twenty miles distant.
Before leaving Gubat General Buller re
, moved from the Gordon steamers their ma
-5 chinery, and rendered them useless to the
Arabs. He has less than 2,000- effective
, men, and 1,500 carnets. The water
supply is inadequate to supply them,
. and further retreat is neces
sary. Gen. Buller is supfiosed to be awaiting
orders to either retire to Gakdul or to advance
, t< > Berber and join Gen. Brackenbarry’s forces.
The probability is that Gen. Buller will retreat
upon Gakdul wells and thence to Korti tx»
join the force under Gen. Wolseley.

MONEY KINGS.
Several TranNa<*tions of William H. Van*
(lerbilt and .Jay Gould.
New York, Feb. 20.—01 d Commodore
i Vanderbilt would never have anything to do
1 with Jay Gould. He looked uj>on the little
1 man as an ill-omened person. William H.
Vanderbilt’s ill-fortune dates from his partici
pation with Gould in stock schemes. The
I first serious blow that Vanderbilt suffered
I was in the famous operation of “pegging”
i Lake Shore. The idea of Gould was that the
exhibition of great strength would inspire the
I public with confidence. He caused it to be
i given out that’Vanderbilt :n 1 himself were
. ready to take the whole iteial stocks of rail
■ roads. The stocks were piled in on them in
i enormous quantities. Tne time arrived
, when the men were obliged to suc
; ciunb, or, rather when Gould quietly sold out
j: on Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt got out the best
: way he could, but the operation cost him $12,-
. I 000.000.
. | Somehow or other Gould smoothed it over
> * with Vanderbilt. About a year ago the
i * market again required support, and Vandei
. b it was asked again to look out for his prop
' erty. The result was as before. The trial
i was at some expense, $2,000,090 or $3,000,000
it is said. It is known that he asked Vander
bilt to come to the rescue of the market once
more. Vanderbilt had been through the mill
twice, and declined without thanks. Gould was
angry and employed every means to job Vau
derbilt; the persuasive power of Gowen induced
Vanderbilt to put a vast amount of money in
Reading. The investment is computed to
have cost him $10,000,(XX). The $2._>.000,000
■*iput in the South Pennsylvania railroad pro-
Tject is counted in Wall street as a pra/< ical
i loss. William H. I'anderb.'lt had at one
j time $60,000,000 of gov erament bonds, but he
was compelleil to use a large portion of them
I in straightening out the aflairs of Lis sons
I and protecting himself. At last accounts he
j hud $32,000,000. Vanderbilt is keeping ins
[own counsel nowadays, and Wall street is
I temping an eye on him for the next move he
J makes. He has not taken his attention en
tirely from the market, for he is needy every
day an interesting figure in a brok Fs office
under the Langham hotel, near his residence.

in twenty minutes she had gone.”
The wife afterwards • L “I married him,
tut I shall never live with Imn. He promised
give me SSOO if I would marry him, but he
gave me only S2OJ. This amount lam going
to hold on to.”
The newly married pair went on a train to
Hartford. He tried to ai red her, but the
depot policeman told him he could arrest any
other woman, but his wife hee *uld not. Then
Tuttle said lugubriously: “She gone and so
!is my money. I will go back to New Haven
and go to work.”
Before be si ar ed from Hartford he took a
big jug of whisky, presumably to drown his
soi jws. Wlr nhe reached ibis city he was

Salt Lake, Utah, Feb. 20.—The second re
lief part v sent to Alta to rescue the living and
bring ba•■.. :ho dead who were killed in tho
: recent snow-slide, have returned. The party
had a very trying experience.
' 1 Ihe bodies were brought down the canyon
in a mournful procession single file, lashed
upon sleds, as follows: Mattie Hickey, Timo
thy Madden, J remialt Regan, David B. Ev
ans, James Watson, Burney Gilson, and Mrs.
Ford, with her Gaby lashed to her breast.
( The last sled carried four children of Edward
j Ballou.
| The following persons reported dead were
I rescued alive: Andrew White, after being un
der the snow twelve hours, slightly injured;
, Frederick Culinan, after being buried sixteen
’ 1 hours, also hurt, but not seriously; Mr. Keist,
in a drift six hours. Besides these, Mr. Ford,
! though not covered by the avalanche, was
. ! badly hurt. Mrs. Ford, it appears, had a pre-
' monition of danger, and l>egged her husband
‘ : to take her and their child to a place of safety
on that fatal night, saying she felt sure an
avalanche was coming.
Mrs. Ballou, Mrs. Keist (wounded), Mrs.
Howitt, Mrs. Johnson and her four children,
1 and Hans Olson and tour childre 1, are still in
1 Alto,, in constanDdangei. A n-cuing party
will go out to bring them in.
’ Snow-slid - in that neighb mood are of
daily occurrence. One occurre< in Superior
' gulch, which the survivors at Al.a feel sure
resulted in the death of Sumiwl Prescott, a
ranger, and John White working there. Two
men going there to see if they were safe, got
in sight of their cabin and tui uel, when they
saw a snow-slide start, and ir- an instant al
most the cabin was obliterated in a sea of
snow. The concussion of the slide throw
them violently to the ground, and they hur
ried away for fear of another slide. It is re
ported that a man named McDaniels, living
south of Alta, wa» killeu by a slide. Nothing
has been seen or heard of him since. In three
