Serving Mahdi on the Sandy Soil of the Soudan -The Leader* Interviewed on the Flan—Concentrating For-.cs to Capture Canada. London, Feb. 25.—A Paris dispatch gives an account of the congress of the Fenian dy naxnitera in that city. There were eleven delegates, two of whom represented the Irish revolutionary party in Great Britain; three were from the United States; two from Ire land; two from the Continent, and two repre sented the Irish invineibles. Thirteen Fenians were present, but took no part in the debate. A Husain nihilist stood in one corner with a manufacturer of dynamite. Every jwrson present was armed with a revolver in readi ness to shoot any detective who might inter fere. John Morrisey, under the name of Kin I, a native of County Carlow, Ireland, presided. One Hannery rejiorted the congress. The in troductory remarks of Kiul were received with cheers, and Patrick Corcoran marie a speech condemnatory of England, and advis ing a more extended use of dynamite He Bd iod i*; use in towns and v ia /'«. Fnv aal ii. -t d vuntenanced thu saci die- «i Innocent people, maintaining that the better policy would be to attack only ships, bar racks, and arsenals; but these counsels did net - . ail. anti an attempt to bring about a fusion of the dynamiters and invineibles was frustrated by a telegram from Number One. A pr< |K*>al for an alliance with the Russian oihibsts was rejected. James McDennot, the informer, was again formally condemned to death; and it was decided to send two mem hers of the dynamite faction, acquainted with military tactics, to the camp of El Mahdi, whom it is pro|>osed to instruct in the ase of a new dynamite cannon, the manufac turer of which was present, and in expecta tion of heavy orders from the mahdi. An Interview. Rt. LOUIS, Mo., Feb. 25—Gen. Ma<'adaras, me of the “number one” suspects was inter viewed. “It has been stated,” said the reporter, “that you are to be one of the leaders of the fcxj>edition. ’’ “If the talk about the expedition is true it will not be given away to the newspaper's,” laid Macadams. “There is one man mentioned Lmong the leaders of the expedil ion 1 know well. That is Oliver Pain, who is now with Hie mahdi. He is a brave, resolute and re lourceful man, and I believe that he will ren ter El Mahdi good service.” “You have no intention of going to the Soudan yourself, general.” “None? But mv Kvmnatbies and those of rvery Irish nationalist are with Mohammed Achmet in his gallant tight.” “Would you send dynamite?” “There is no reason why the Nile route might not be made impassable with a few’ tor /edoes.” “I detest what is called the dynamite war, which is simply assassination. Dynamite has its legitimate uses in war. It is the substance out of which naval torpedoes are constructed. The mahdi ought to have scientific men with aim w ho ought to know how to make the Nile impassable.” “The mahdi scorns well supplied with rifles.” Yes; but a few' bundles of congreve rock ItF would be worth a thousand rifles to him.” “What good would they doF’ “If you ever saw a thoroughly frightened samel you would not ask. One camel slightly burned and badly scared would break any British square that ever was formed. I have icen one camel absolutely throw’ a whole regiment into confusion before it could be killed.” Into Canada, Buftaiz>, Feb. 25.—The News prints the following: “A secret meeting of the national executive committee of the Irish revolution ary army was held here. Delegates are known to have been present from New York, Chicago and Detroit, Several old Fenian leaders were among them. It was deter mined to take advantage of England s present embarrassment and make an invasion of Canada. The plan it is believed involves a crossing of the border at two or three differ ent pointe simultaneously, Buffalo being one of them. The committee claim to be well supplied with arms, and are able to concen trate 35,000 men at a given point on short no tice. STUDENT WAR. Alleged Collegiate* Indulge In a Fight on Aeconnt of a Flag. New Haven. Conn., Feb. 25.—When the Yale’s scientific juniors went down town they saw to their surprise the little blue Hag of the freshman class fluttering in the wind from the top of the city hall. A rush was mad * for the building and while one party went up itairs the other departed in search of boat hooks or poles with which to pull down the flag, When a* stiideuts reached the battery room on the ; ot 4 x>r they found a man on guan’. They tried to bribe him io admit them but foiled. They then waited for the other party which •oon came, and armed with poles and hooks they ascended to the top of the building, and crawling out on the gable flshed for the flag. After a half hour’s work they caught on the flag and began to pull it in. A freshman on the floor below grasped the flag as it swung against the building and captured it. A few hours later Fire Marshal Kennedy put out the national flag in honor of Washington’s birth day, and a crowd of siudeute saw, some with Height and some with chagrin, the freshmen’s flag attached to it. Hearing the cries of the students nearly 600 persons gathered about the city hall. Crowds of students met and en gaged in a fight, until fearing that a riot would ensue, the police dispersed the crowd. The freshman’s flag waved in triumph. Marshal Bowling's Arreftt. Lexington, Ky., Feb. 25.—A. M.

DEDICATION SERVICES. IMPOSING CEREMONIES OF THE WASH INGTON MONUMENT. The Capital Crowded with Patriotic Visi tors Who Meet iroin all Part# of the Country Under One I lag- Win throp** Addreiw—Notos. Washington, Feb. 23.—The city was in holliday attire, but the weather was not as pleasant as was desired for the ceremonies. The mass of iieoplo were, in spite of the in clemency <if the weather, around the monu ment, the white house an 1 scattered along the banks of the Potomac. It is estimated that there were 200,000 strangers in the city, and the c ty presented an api>earanee not unlike thiU <f ’D•> is: a.’ iut ni iai inauguration cerernuuk ol tih a -haenc. At an early hour the streets presented an unusually animated apjK'urnnco with the nu merous mflitary and civic organizations and crowds of siKictators marching toward the base of the grand shaft. The outdoor cere inomes began at the f<x>t of the monument at preeisi'ly 1! o'clock. The grand stand was filled with distingueh«*<l guests, among whom were President Arthur, the cabinet, visiting governors of states, senators, representatives, the diplomatic corps, and members of the monument commission, all participating in tb *>re 'tatidn and dedication of the relig ions Masonic exercises. •Senator Sherman presided and opened the ex< rcises with a brief address, reviewing the btatery of the monument, and paying an elo quent tribute to Washington. The address by the venerable W. W. Corcoran, president i.f i.he Washington tuonunyiif. association, who was present , but unequal to the task of speakmg, was r-tad. Col. Casey, engineer in charge of the const,motion of the monument, reviewed the work done under his sujierinteu dency, and then President Arthur delivered the dedication address follows: “Fellow Countrymkn—Before the dawn nf the century, whose eventful yeare will soon have faded into the past, when death had but lately robljed this republic of her most beloved citizen, the congress of the United States pledged the faith of the nation that in the city b<firing his honored name then, as now, the seat of general government, a monument should l>e erected to commem orate the great events of his military and political life. The stately column that stretches heavenward from the plain whereon we stand bean witness to all who behold it, that the covenant which our fathers made, their children liave fulfilled. In comple tion of that great work the patriotic endeavor is abundant cause for a national re joicing, for while this structure shall endure it shall l>e to all mankind a steadfast token of affectionate and reverent regard in which this people continue to hold the memory of Wash ington. Well may be ever keep the foremost place in the hearts of his countrymen. Faith that never faltered; wisdom that was broader an<! deeper than any learning taught in schools; courage that sprang from no peril and was dismayed by no defeat; loyalty that kept all selfish purposes suinordinate to the demands of patriotism and honor, sagacity that displayed itself in camp and cabinet, and above all tliat the harmonious union of inoral and intellect ual qualities which has never found ite parallel among men. These arc al tri inlb's of charac ter which the intelligent, thought of this cen tury ascribes to the grandest figure of the last. But other and more eloquent lips than mine will rehearse to you the story of his noble life and its glorious achievements. To myself has been assigned this simple for mal duty, in fulfilment of which I do now, as president of the United States, in behalf of the people, receive this monument from the hands of its buikier and declare it dedicated from this time forth to the immortal name and memory of George Washington.” Tiffs closed the ceremonies of the monument and the procession, a grand display of military jjomp and civic power, moved from the mon ument grounds to the capital. Thu sidewalks along Pennsylvania avenue, through which the procession marched for a distance of a mile, were literally packed with people. It was half-past two when the assemblage was called to order in the house. After a few <q>ening remarks by . r. Edmunds and prayer by Rev. Wallis, the oration of Hon. Robert C. Wintrop was read by Congrr«sman John D. Long, of Massachusetts. At the con clu.sr in of Mr. Wintrop's <iratioD, Hon. John W. Daniel, of Virginia, delivered a speech. Mr. Winthrop’s address, delivered by ex- Gov. Ixmg, was in substance as follows: “To President Arthur. Senators and Representa tives of the United States: “By a joint resolution of congress, you have called upon me to addn-ss you on the completion of yonder colossal monument to the father of his count ’y. Nearly seven and thirty years have pttased since it was my privilege to perform a similar service at the laying of the corner stone of that monu ment. “To those of us who took part in the laying of that first stone and have followed the slow ascent of the stupendous pile, ite successful completion is heartfelt delight and joy. For nearly a quarter of a century ite trineatel shaft, with ite untidy surroundings, locked only like an insult to the memory of Washington, and symbolized nothing but an ungrateful country. It was an abomination of .1 • Dion standing where it ought not. Ail that i olio wed of confusion and conten tion in our country’s history seemed fore shadowed and prefigured in that humiliating s t , r’.a.’le. and one could almost road on it -nl<s, in letters of blood: ‘Divided: weighe< j inn balance; found wanting!* And well might that crude and undigested ri.-iss have stood so forever, if our union hax ~i«n perished. An unfinished monument tx V. ashington would have Ixjcd a fit emblem ol a divided country. How cheering and how inspiring the reflection that no sooner wen our unhappy contentions at an end than thii monument to Washington gave signs of fresh I life, and soon was seen rising again toward I the skies. Henceforth and forever it shall lie 1 lovingly associated not only with the memory of him in whose honor it has been erect al, but with an era of assured peace, unity and con cord which would have been dearer to liis heart than the costliest personal memorial. “That compact, consolidated structure, with its countless blocks held firmly in po sition by their own weight and pressure, will ever be an instructive typo of the national strength and grandeur which can only be so cured by the union of ‘Many into one.’ Had the fine arts, indeed, made such advances in our country forty years ago ns we are now proud to recognize, it k ’ -»t improbable that i different design might na m been adopted; but I am by no means sure that it would have been a more effective and appropriate one. “1 ask in all sincerity, is not the acknowl edged pro-eminence of the father of his coun try more adequately represented by that I soaring shaft rising high above all the smoke and stir of earth, as he ever rose above sec- I tional prjudices and jiarty politics and per- I sonal interest, gleaming and glistening as far 1 as sight can reach, arresting the eye at every j turn, w hile it shoots triumphantly to the skies. Does not that colossal unit remind all I who gaze at it more forcibly than any arch or statue could do that there is one name in American history above all other names; one character piqre exalted than all other chara - tors; one example to be studied and rever enced beyond all other examples; one bright particular star in the clear u£per sky of our firmament, w r ho»* guiding light and peerless lustre are for al! mon and for all ages, never to be lost sight of, never to l>o unheeded? “Tor lot us not forgot that we are hero to commemorate not the monument, but the man. That- stupendous pile has not been ran rod for any vain pun»ose of challenging ' admiration for itself. It is upon him whose - honor it has lieon upreared, and upon the in l comparable and inestimable services ho has rendered to his country, and te the world tjiat our thoughts should lie concentrated at this honor. Yet ! what can T say, what can any man* say of Washington which has not already boon ren iered as familiar as household words through out the world? “Every scene of t liat grand and glorious life has been traced and illustrated by the most accomplished and brilliant pens and tongues. Henry Loe, through the lips of John Marshall, summed jp and condensed all that, wits felt ind all that could l>e, or over can be, said in those imperishable words which will go ring ing down tiio centuries, in every clime, in ?vory tongue, till time shall lie no more—‘first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of Ms countrytiiun.’ “But there are other imperishable words which will resound through the ages; words 5f his oWn, not h‘ss memorable than his acts. Some of them, 1 need not say, in that immor tal farewell address which an emimsit En glish historian has pronounced ‘unequaled by iny composition of uninS|>ji <KI wisdom,’ and which ought to be learivxi by hun t by the •hildren of our schools, like tho laws of the twelve tables in tho of ancient Rome, Mid never forgotten When tlt>se<*hildren grow * up to the privileges and responsibilities of manhood. “It was a custom of tho ancient Egyptians, | from whom the idea of our monument has l>een evolved, to cover their obelisks with hieroglyphical inscriptions which tell us little except the dates and doings of some despotic pharaoh. Our Washington needle, while it has all of the severe simplicity and far more than all of the massive grandeur, which were the characteristics of Egyptian’s architecture, bears no inscriptions whatever, and none are likely over to be carved on it. Each succeeding generation, indeed, will take ite own pride in doing whatever may be wisely done in adorning tho surroundings of this majestic pile, yet <» mind’s eye of an American patriot t em bio faces will never seem void or ice Ever and anon, as ho gazes there vs c n Hashing lorin in letters of living UgL om f the great words and grand precepts i d n ie lessons of principle and duty, whicl ore ie matchless bequest of Washington to so i try and to mankind. And, above a * . »ro precious than all the rest, there will come dreaming down to many an eager and long ing eye, from the very point whore ite tiny ajiox reaches nearest to the skies, and shining forth with a radiance which no vision of Con stantine could ever have eclipsed, some of those solemnly reiterated declarations and counsels, which might almost be called the .jonfession and creed of Washington, and v. ’ ich can never be forgotten by any Christian patriot. ‘But what are all the noble words which V/ashington wrote or uttered; what are all the incidents of his birth and death; what are all tho details of his marvellous career in com parison with his own uxalbxl character as a man? Rarely was Webster more impressive than when, on tho completion of the monu ment at Bunker Hill, he gave utterance to tho simple assertion, ‘America has furntahed to tho world the character of Washington,’ and well did he add tliat, ‘lf our American insti tutions had done nothing elsx-, that alone would have entitled them to the respec.*t of mankind. ’ “I do not forget that there have been other men in other days, in other lands and in our own land, who liave been called to command larger armies; to preside over more distracted councils: to administer more extended gov ernments, and to grapple with as complicated and critical affairs. Gratitude and honor wait ever on their jiersons and their names. But we do not estimate Milliades, or Pausanias, or Themistxu*les, or Leonidas by the number of the forces which they Jed on land or on sea. Nor do we gauge the glory of Columbus by the size of the little fleet with which he ventured so heroically upon the perils of a mighty unknown deep. There are some circumstances which can not occur twice; some occasions of which there can be no repetition; some names which will always assert their individual prominence and will admit of no rivalry or comparison. Tho glory of Columbus can never lx? eclipsed, never approached, till our new world shall require a fresh discovery: and tho glory of Washington . J remain unique and peerless until American Independence shall require to be again achieved or the foun<iations of consti tutional liberty to be laid an w. “Think not that I am claiming an immac ulate perfection for any mortal man. One being only has ever walked this earth of ours without sin. Washingron had his infirmities and Lis passions like mu rest of us. He made no boast of virtue or of valor, and no amount of flattery ever led him to be otherwise than distrustful of his own ability and merits. And when a' last he was coutoiiq-faring a final retiremhi:■ from Die presidency and iu one of the draft.-* of lus Luvwell addrms nad written that he withdrew ‘with a pure heart and undefined hands,' or words to that effect, he sup! i’(*-;: d the pass u•an 1 allotc< rsimilar -u.pres ir<. lesi, as ’.e suggested, m should to claim fqr himself a measure of per . >ti which all the work! now unites in ac ding io him. For I hazard l.ttie in assert i . that ail the world does now accord to .L.s-fiugtoii a tribute wmeh has theindor.se np.it of the encyclopaedia britaniuc, that, ‘of ul men that ev- r lived, he was the greatest o' good men and the beau of great men.’ Ur, 1 let me borrow tho same idea from a great English poet who gave his young life and brilliant genius to <. cause of liberty in mod ern Greece. “A celebrate I philosopher of antiquity wrote this to a younger frieud as a precept for a worthy life: ‘Su.ne good man must be sin gled out and kept ever before our eyes, that we may live as if ho were kxiking on, and do everything as if 1?« »uid see it.’ “Let me borrow tho spirit, if not tho exact letter of oiat precept and address it to the i young men of iv country. ‘Keep ever in your mind and Ixfforo your miud’e eye the loftiest standard o' character. “Os merely -e-r d mon the monument we have ht‘r<‘ dedi u* a points out the one for all Americans to ady, to imitate, and, as far as may lx), to emulate: Keep his example and i bis character ever butore your eyes and in . your hearts. Live and act as if he were seeing ; and judging your personal conduct and your 1 public career. Strive to approximate that lofty standard and measure your integrity I and your patriotism by your nearness to it or your depart ure from it. Tho prime meridian i of pure, disinterested, patriotic and exalted human character will be marked forever by , yonder Washington obelisk. | “Yes, to tlie young men of America under ' God it remains as they rise up from genera tion to genorntion, to shape the destinies of ’ their country’s future; and woe unto them if, I regardless of the great example which is set before them, they prove unfaithful to the 1 tremendous responsibility which rests upon i them. Our matchless obelisk stands proudly • !>efore us, and we hail it with the exultation 'of a unital and glorious nation. It may or may not be pi-oof against the cavils of critics, Jfbut nothing of human construction is proof against the casualties of time; the storms 5f \vinter must blow aiid beat upon it; the j action of the elements must soil and discolor ’ it; the lightning of heaven may scar and I blackened it; an earthquake may shak4 its foundations, and some mighty tornado or re j sistless cyclone may rend its massive blocks j asunder and hurl huge fragments to the i ground, but the character which it eonimem j orates and illustrates is secure.

At one time they appeared to have things their own way, but in selecting their man for chairman of the committee of the whole they unwittir.gly played into the hands of the en emy. T'iieir choice out of the list presented by Mr*. Carlisle was Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, who at last session spoke and voted against the scheme. Mr. Hammond ruled the Hennepin item of the river and harbor bill out on the ground that it should have been considered by the railway and canal committee. The Hennepin men are in a badly demoralized condition, and are trying to drum up votes enough to take a final stand when they hope to lie able to restore the appropriation.
