Feb. 24.—A few evenings ago a reporter met a prominent Fenian on the east side of the city. “There is something in Manhattan cii de.’ said he. “at least it orig inated there, and I presume the other circles will unite as soon as the head center is out of the hospital and tit to be consulted on the sub ject. All the preliminaries are arranged, however, and the matter only await® his formal approval or additional suggestions from him.” “Well, what is itf' “Another expedition to the Soudan to assist the mahdi.” “To join the rari.Aan party?” “Ch, no; quite an independent affair.

Dr. Hamilton Williams has been spoken of, but objections have been made tn liim on the ground that his appearance is too well known and he gets too much excited and talks too much aliout Irish affairs. John Kearney has Ix'cn proposed, but hi excitability is also con sidered an objection, and he is t >o well known by the Scotland Yard detects «?s. Dr. Will iams would lie very desirable, on account of his thorough, knowledge of the manufacture of dynamite, if he could hold Irs tongue.” “How will that resource of civilization be provided for the expedition'” “That has been carefully attended to, and we shall have all the dynamite and other re sources that we rtxjuT*. Tvo of the best scientists in the nianuiaetinv of explosives will go along.” “But what a!out the ne.rirality laws against arming?” “No. we don’t, take anything with us in that shape. There will b‘no fear of blowing up the vessel. There will be nothing done to violate the laws of the United Sid Coun seUor Morin, who has been our adviser, says there is no danger, so long as we do not com mit an overt a< t.

I have no hesita tion nying that lam very mu h inter < -.ted ' in the - • css which has thus far crowned the I arms of El Mahdi through rny friend Olivier Pain, whom I knew both in this city and Faris." Louis Morin, like Macalaras, is an Irish Alsatian, in strong vmpftthy with the com mune, and a j>et .ornpanion of some of the reds who took an a iivepart in the removal of Arcl J Lshop Darbery. He is in league with , several of the lea-iL.gr anarch sts of Paris. | He passed through th* Locale Droit in Paris, ' and was subsequently admitted to the Irish , bar. and practice*! law in Dublin for some ' time. He came to this country with P. J. I fiheridan, when the latter returned from his • missionary tour in Ireland and France, and j fell under the suspicion of being a leading in vincible, Morin is a slender man. of medium height, w h sud dark beard trimm d in French style, and is not to lie confounded, as he has sometime been, with an Irish lawyer named : Moran. He is a different individual W”hen Patrick Joyce was called on, said: “I knew’ nothing, and if I did it is not to the press I would give it.” A reporter called at the office of the Trans at I antique line, No. 6 Bowling Green, and asked if any pas ages had been taken in any of their vess- Is by any person from the office of o'Donovan Russa. “There have been no passages taken that we know cf,“ answered the geutl -man representing Mr. Behian, the ag nt, "but inquiries have been made from th-- office of O’Donovan Rossa regarding pasfiag-There might ix- j<a sages taken and we kif w nothing about it They might take then; under * her names.

At the iffice of thf Comp-agnie Bonlelaise do Navigation Ava peur, wh s<- vessels run lietween New York and Bordeaux, the acting agent said: "We hft> • not yet had any passages taken where the addresses have lieen given from No. i 12 Cham strei-t, or the 0111**0 of O'Dono- i van Rossa. but there may be; we can not always tell.” There can not tie any doubt, from these facts, that a dynamite crusade in j :he s .uian, as in Loudon, is seriously con- 1 te.nplated, and that Roesa’s office is the center of the conspiracy.

The Interior or ToNtoftice Portfolios for the MiiwistUppi Member —Three Pilgrims to the Mecca of Certainty— General News. Washington, Fob. 24.—Senator has left Washington for Albany in resjKmse to an invitation sent to him by Mr. Cleveland, /his invitation came by mail. Mr. lj&mar di 1 not look through his mail until quit© late, when ho found, when lie reached this letter, thab ho should liave departed 8 >onor in order to reach Albany at the time he was expected. His arrival there will bo delayed, therefore, twelve hours. It is understood that Mr. Cleveland’s letter contained a formal invita tion to the senator to enter his cabinet. Whether the position offered to him is that of the interior or the postoffice is not known. Senator Lamar’s friends think he is to have the interior department. Mr. Lamar has ex |K\‘te«l this formal invitation for several days. He has arranged his affairs so as to accept His visit will be for the purpose of conferring with Mr. Cleveland about the other members ' of t he cabinet. Bayard, Manning and Lamar are now said to be settled upon as memliers of the next cabinet. Mr. Lamar is anxious to do what he can to bring success to the next adminis tration. He has gotten about all there is out . of the senate, and has no personal ambition for himself. In talking about the possibility of his being connected officially with the next administration, he said the other day he was anxious to try the experiment of seeing ' whether alwdute unselfishness an* 1 absence of [xn sonal interest in the management of a pub lic office would l>e appreciated by the public. : There is no do ibt of the reply that he will ! give Mr. Cleveland when he sees him in Albany. Senator Garland answered the Ix4l person ally when the correspondent called at his resi dence.

Not hing now had been developed from Al bany, and he was letting mntt-'rs take their ! own course and attending to his own business ! affairs. When the president-elect desired t*o j see him he would probably inform him of the fact as h - did last December, since which time he had not seen him. Anybinly could ; indulge in what conjectures they saw fit, but ! ie was totally at sea in regard to the inter dons of Mr. (’loveland, and knew nothing more than the veriest outsider. C'lcvetand and Bayard. New York, Feb. 24. The Tribune’s Wash ington sjwN'ial says: “A question u]x»n which Mr. Bayard and Mr. (’lovela-• 1 nr© thought Ito disagree is the recognitieti wluch shall be : given, if it shall lie given at all, to the inde- I |M‘inlents.

Mr. Bayard thinks I that it ran be done withcut resorting to sue! I means. Ho pointed out to a friend last w*- a published letter of an independent as faith fully representing his own views on the sub ject, and as the view which, in his opinion, all independents, so-callwl, would find it wise to adopt. That letter said, among other things: “The independents are not a political party. If it may be defined at all, theinor ganization is but a practical coalition of the aggressive elements of an intelligent public opinion. You are going to take public opinion into the cabinet. The only recognition that the independents want is that recognition which will Imj evidenced in the works of the administration.” 'filenames of Vilas, Jivkson, Franklin, Mifcln 11.

Washington, Feb. 24.—The credentials of Mr. Jones, senator-ele* t from Arkansas, vice , Walker, were lead and filed. On motion of Mr. Dawes the committee on ■ Indian affairs was authorize*! to continue in- I vestigations into the Indian leases, etc., dur ! ing the vacation, with further authority to inquire what changes were necessary in the ■ boundary lines of the Indian reservations, and report at the first session of the next congress. Th*- bill to “quit titles” to the settlors of the Des Moines river lands was taken up. Mr. Lapham having exhausted his ammunition i the dilatory amendments were finally passed. Th senate then proceeded with the consid i erai iou of the postoffice appropriation bill. The general impression appears to be that the opponents to the suspension clause in the sundry civil service bill have sufficient strength to defeat it or have an extra session. Mr. Hill (Col.) says should the house pass the bill without the silver clause incorporated I in it. it could not be forced through the sen . ate this session. Th • toxr, of the silver suspension clause which has caused so much anxiety is: “The secretary of the treasury is hereby authorized to suspend a wffiole or part from July 1,1885, to June 30, 188 ft, inclusive, in execution of so much of the act of February 28, 1878, as authorizes and directs the secretary of the treasury to purchase*, from time to time, sil ver bullion to the extent of not less than two million dollars worth per month, nor more than four million dollars worth jx?r month, and which directs the coinage of silver bullion so purchased into standard silver dollars, which appropriates a sufficient sum of money Yom the ti’easury to carry out the provisions )f sml act in these I The senate concurred in the recommenda- Sions of the appropriations committee to itrike from the bill the provision that at [ Juture contract lettings for the manufacture I>f jx)stage stamp envelopes, etc., the secre tary of the tnvLsury bo requinnl to submit the aiiis in behalf of the bureau of engraving md printing.

GOSLING’S DEATH. I Full Particulars of the Texas Train Itiot and the rartlcipants. , Dallas, Tex., Feb. 24.—Yeager, one of ths nail robbers sentenced for life, and who aided in killing United States Marshal Gosling on a araiu near New Braunfels, while being con veyed from Austin to San Antonio, was cap ;ured near New Braunfels. The dead body >f James Pitts was found within 100 yards of where he escaped from the tram. It issuj)- I posed that the passenger who fired at Pitts I md Yeager as they jumped off, hit Pitts and j killed him. | A’eager got loose from the dead body and Bscaped to the mountains, although he was | wounded in the neck. Deputy Marshal Loor • ng, who was uninjured in the fight on the I irain, overtook and captured Yeager, but the ; posse shot him three times, killing him. Yea ser made a desperate fight. Pitts’mother is > ilso dead. Miss Yeager, sister of the desper ado, v was also wpqnded, it is thought will recover. The killed thus far are Mai’shal Giosling, Deputy Mai’shal Alarming, I’itt.s, Yeager and Mrs. Pitts. Jas. B. Leak, sentenced to two years for Forgery,' was taken to Ban Antonio, to no sent ! with other criminals to the jieniti ntiary. In m interview he said: “1 was for several days in prison at Austin with Pitts aud Yeager. We occupied the same cell. Pitts’wife ami Yeager’s sister came often to wo us. Mm. Pitta bore two pistols in her Boro hi. The care \ssness of the jail officials a: Austin isri'spon ble for Gosling’s death. Ha*l they once earched the woman all would have been verted. Mrs. Pitts was the sole hatcher of he plot for Gosling’s assassination, and beg ged and plead with her husbaixl and Yeager W make one effort for liberty. She told them she would rather see them shot dea-l in the car than prisoners for life. Pitts’ grandmother, who was subsequently in the affray, opposed the scheme from the first. She represented the risks attending its execution, and begged them not to wld assassination to the list of their crimes. All the witnesses and myself were in full cognizance of the scheme. The women were to s* rote the pistols in their clothes, sit by the prisoners, and allow them to lake hem. I would have peached, but Pitts threatened my life. I knew the men were going to death. Pitts threatened to commit niicide before murder, but his wife ruled him. He said he did not wish to murder Gosling, ind cried bitterly over bis arranged taking 3ff. His wife was enciente, and before leav ng the jail he wrote a letter to her and placed it in his pocket, to lie taken from his Ixxly if killed. It contained directions and admoni tions for raising their unborn child. Pitts was twenty-nine years old. He was a friend sf Jesse James and cousin of the Pitts who was a prominent member of the gang, and was killed in Missouri. He was a member of Sam. Bass’gang and a friend of John Wes ley Harden, now undergoing a sentence of twenty-five years in the penitentiary. Hi.s tales of train robbery, road agency and mur ler were infinite. Yeager was Pitts’ tool, the lesser villian in every way.” Henry L. Gosling was liora in Shelbyville, Tenn., about thirty-five years ago. He studied law and was graduated at the Lebanon law school, and practiced in his na tive town. He became connected with the press of Tennessee and Texas and gained an m viable r eputation as a writer. lle published the Quill at Castroville and became president of the Texas press association. He was the republican candidate for treasurer of Tennessee against Marshal T. Polk and defeated. He applied to Postmaster General Key under Hayes’ administration for a post office appointment and seemed on the point of getting it when Key changed hi.s mind. Mr. (Gosling said to a friend one day: “I’ve got a l,Tudgc against Key and I'll get even with Him if it takes me fifteen years.” He went to Washingtonand President Hayes appointed hiinto the Texas marsha’ship which he had at the time of his death. VV hen Treasurer Polk of Tennea-iee absconded Gosling did his best to capture him, remembering the old de feat. The state of Tennessee offered a reward of SS,(XX) for his arrest. Gosling telegraphed to the authorities that it would take $10,0(X) to capture him, and that amount was offered immediately. It has been charged that Gos ling had Polk under arrest at the time, thus squeezing $5,000 out of the state. He <iid not exult over the condition of the unfortunate Polk, but there was much talk’ at. the time how he had at last got even with the man who defeated him. Gosling was a brother-in-law of Jawarder, ex-United States district attorney for the middle district of Tennessee. He was a fearless, dashing, genial man, popular at home and so much liked by Texans that, although a re publican, the whole de'<-gat ion in congress favored his retention under Cleveland.

The People of England Ready to Call the ■ Government to Account —Some Pointed Words from Gordon —Mrs. Ijowell's l-'mu ral—All the News. London, F. '• 24.—A decided sensation was created her. !. the publication of several dis patches scut from Khartoum by the late Gen. 1 Gordon. In one, dated November 4, 188-4, he i declines to agree to tlie fitting out of an expe ditionary force for his rescue alone, asserting that he intended to rescue the garrison, and that ho v.o :d not allow himself to La rescued ! and leave them to their fate. On September 18 he wi ites, complaining bitterly of the ■ apathy of the government, and says: “How many times have T asked for re- 1 inforcements without receiving any an ; swor. 'Phe hearts of the few loyal 1 men that cling to me with faint hope of being delivered from their long imprisonment, •are rapidly growing weary; they almost despair of ever being delivered from their ' present hnrddiips unless by the bullets of the ' Arabs. While you eat and drink the best and i rest in good l»eds, we are always fighting.” It ’ apyiears by another dispatch dated December 14. 1884 the late Gordon never said ho could hold ou. in *fin‘. ely, but on the contrary in I this dispatch ho says: “Our circumstances are rapidh lieeoining straitened. All supplies, for the jiri'sen., are cut off, and food is grow ing scarce.” Thee dispatches have greatly intensified the feelings of the people against the government, aud members of the cabinet are charged wi:!) duplicity ami d<*’option, as well as being derelict in their duty. Skirmish at Abu Klea. Korti, Feb. 24.—Dispatches from Abu Klea give a more specific account of the skirmish at; that place. It appears that to j Maj. Waidrop is due the credit of outwitting the detachment of Arab riflemen by placing small squads of men on several hills to lire upon them. It created the impression that frosh bodies of British troops were arriving. Scoiits at a distance are watching Gen. Buller, but the main body of Arabs has re tired. Moanwhil 1 Gen. Buller awaits rein forcements and means of transportation be fore retreating to Gakdul. The British loss (luring the skirmish was four kill*'*! and twenty-five wounded. It is expei ted tliat an attack upon Buller will be resumed shortly. Wolseley is of the opinion that Beilers di vision will make its way to Gakdul without serious difficulty. Mrs. Lowell’s Funeral.
