THE WHITE HOUSE.
A Very Friendly Greeting —The Nation*!

Strikers —Labor Notes.
Washington, March 16.—A few minutes
before 5 o’clock when the white house was
nearly emptied of visitors, and after the gas .
had been lighted and the shades drawn in the
library where the president receives his |
callers, a gentleman walked briskly up the
western approach from Pennsylvania avenue.
He was a man of little more than the aver
age height, of sturdy build, of strong feat
ures, full gray beard and gray hair, com
plexion colorless and eyes of keenest brown.
His heavy overcoat was buttoned closely for
the day was a chilly one with occasional
flakes of snow. As he walked up the steps of
the porch he glanced around quickly and
then bowing to the attendants at the door i
he passed through the vestibule toward the I
left and ascon led to the ante-room loading
to the apartment in which the cabinet meets.
The president’s messenger, Mr. Loeffler,
who knows everybody, knew this distin
guished visitor, and bowed respectfully as he
helped him to remove his overcoat. The
visitor passed into the cabinet room and back
to the rear, where a door opened into the
library.
The president had been listening to a long
talk by Senator “Joe” Brown, of Georgia,
who had been shown out by the main door. ‘
As he turned to walk back to his desk, the
new visitor entered from the cabinet room '
with Private Secretary La nont, and amo ;
ment later President Cleveland and James I
G. Blaine were meeting for the first time, and
were shak i g hands as c< m i ially as if they
had never been opposing candidates in one of
the most closely contested political battles
ever fought in this country.
Mr. Blaine was not an unexpected visitor.
He had asked for an appointment to suit the
president’s convenient, and had asked to
come at an hour when the president would
be least likely to be interrupted. His visit
was not a hurried one. He staid long enough
to congratulate Mr. Cleveland, to explain his
absence from the inauguration ceremonies,
caused by the death of his sister in Baltimore,
and to entertain the president, as he does
every one he meets, with brisk conversation
about men and things. It was Mr. Blaine’s
first visit to the waite house since the winter
of 1883.

Dr. Douglas was asked: “What remedies
do these specialists use'”
“They generally use a caustic, which
causes the tissue to slough away,” he said.

could heal up afterward, but it would not do
with a cancer W< ar trying to prevent the
loss of tissue and rh« -<k the destruction done
by the earn er. ”

hall general committee adopted resolutions

the present time, and especially commends

ON SOUDAN’S SANDS. |
GORDON’S DIARY, STANLEY'S LETTEF
AND THE FATE OF KASSALA.
Bismarck’s Policy—ltaly’s Spirit Yater
Y'anked for Libel Orders from the
Shah- Reserved and Neutral De
serters All the New*.
London, March 16.—Gen. Gordon’s diary
is written on Egyptian telegraph blanks.
, The pages are sewed together with twine, and ,
every page is illuminated with pictures, fan
; tastic and serious. Gordon’s letters indicate
that bis diary was written for the use of the
government. It is desired tiiat the govern
ment should edit this diary and publish sac
similes of it as soon as all of it has reached
London. The diary, as left by Gordon, is in
six volumes.
Mr. Henry M. Stanley has written a letter
to the Times for the purpose of explaining
the apparent inconsistency in Gen. Gordon’s
statements about the Soudau. Mr. Stanley
| thinks that when Gen. Gordon s*r 1 that the
I “Soudan was a useless possession,” and that,
“for anybody to reconquer it and baud it (
over to Egypt would be an iniquity,’’ he
meant to refer to the present condition of
that country. Gen. Gordon's real opinion,
Mr. Stanley says, which was often ex
pressed, was that attempts at permanent oo
'Upatiim would l>e useless until a railway
had been constructed connecting Suakirn
' with the Nile. The government of the
. Soudan would then become much easier.
I Mr. Stanley expresses his belief in the
i soundness of this opinion, and says: “If you
| want to make something of the Soudan, give
■ the people of that country a chance to rest,
i Stop taxation, stop the courbash. Garrison
| Suakirn, Berber and Khartoum with a few
Sikhs. Assist the princiial sheiks with j
money for trading purposes, and bike all |
other measures practicable to foster the [
growth of trade. Tax exports at Suakirn !
and at no other point. Give a trial of five
years to this policy, and then if no English ’
genius arises to rule the Soudan with the
white wand of peace remove the railway and
begone out of the country, retaining jjosses
rion only of Suakirn aud Assouan.” Mr.
Stanley thinks that Gen. Gordon’s latest,
complaints were the natural results of brood
ing over the v&stness of the task before him |
Mid of his utter isolation and ill health.
The government lias ordered the contract
ors to hasten the construction of the Suakirn
Berber railway. Two hundred additional
navvies have been sent to work upon the
road.
In the house of commons Sir Henry What
!ey Tyler, conservative members lor Har
ts ;< ii, announced that he had received a des
! oatvh stating that Kassalahad fallen into the
| hands of the mahdi, aud asked the govern
icelt i that n■ ws was tTUo. Lord Edmund I
Fitz . 'iriee replied that he knew nothing .
i. -nt Ka.ssala having fallen. The Earl of
I Morley, under secretary of war, in the house I
of lords, replying to the Earl of Galloway, '
xmservative and captain in the horse guards,
laid he thought that a vote of thunks just •
i low to Gen Lord Wolseley and his army for
;he work accomplished in the Khartoum ex
aedition would be decidedly premature.

bian province of Hedjaz has seized several
aundred plackards which has been distribu
ted by emmissaries of El Mahdi al Jeddah,
Dokah Li th and other seaport towns opposite
the Soudan. The plackards order the “faith
ful’' to organize and exgel the Turks from
Arabia, promising that the prophet will
joou arrive at Jeddah, and will lead his hosts
to Mecca, where there will be displays in the
iky such as will leave no doubt of his iden
tity. The placards have caused an incipient
rebellion in the seaport towns of Aedjaz, and
the Turkish governor is doing his best to sup
press the revolt
In reply to complaints against the gov
snunent for giving to an American firm a
contract for furnishing pumps for the Bu
ikim Berber railway, Mr. Henry Robert
Brand, the surveyor general of the ordnance,
timounced that fresh tenders for furnishing
pumps would soon be invited. He said he
would be greatly surprised if Euglisn makers
would undertake to work as Quickly as the
American fii m had.
Bismarck's Bleft»ed I olicy.
Berlin, March 16.—1 n the reichstag Prince
Bismarck, speaking of recent colonial acqui
sitions, expressed the belief that mines in the
Angra Pequena district, and cotton in New
Guinea and the Cameroons 1 country would
ere long add vastly to the resources of Ger
many. The chancellor continued: “Since
God has blessed the policy which we have !
followed for twenty years, no party spirit !
must be allowed to ruin the empire now ;
newly founded.” Applause followed from
all sides of the chamber.

how ho arranged the bodies, hut he seemed

that the steward had made a mistake and so
; he took the other body because he thought ii
ha<l features of a Teutonic cast.
The remains were dressed in a handsome
suit of black and incased in a cloth covered
casket with silver handles. An hour before
the time fixed lor the funeral the friends of

I was sealed. At the request of a life-long

J him for several years, the cover of the casket
' was unscrewed to allow him to have a look

; “IStraago how Fred has changed. Had 1

I recognize him,’’ he sadly mused as he turned ;

i “My G-od! that is not Frrd Rodermaehor,” j

the lit! le one, and she said that she never
wanteii to hear from it. Shortly after Ahira
Cobb, the millionaire grandfather of Elmer
Cobb, died without a will, and the Goodman’s
inquired after the child. Then the mother
began suit to recover him, but after a long
trial Judge Tilden declared that the mother
was not tit to have the care of the boy, uud
made me its guardian.
“A suit was l>egun to prove that, the boy
was the legitimate son of Elmer Cobb and
one of the uino heirs to to the state. That
suit is now jiending, with a prosjiect of estali
lishing the boy’s claim. The mother was al
lowed to visit the boy. She walked down
town with him several times and always
brought him back. The foster parents of
i the boy having died ho lived with me. Tue»-
| lay ihe mot her asked to take her son to a
* lime museum. 1 consented. I heard of the
notlier aud child being seen at a relative’s
•esidouce, and then the mother was seen
done. She had evidently turned the boy
>ver to some one else. She then, as we l>e
iieve, went to Brooklyn. We have tele
graphed the Brooklyn police to arrest her.”
AGAINST ORDERS.
t hat is How Captain ( ouch and Dis Baad
Will March.
Arkansas City, Kau., March 16.—Gen.
[hitch will have the entire Ninth United
States cavalry in camp six miles south of
\rkansas (:ily in order to drive out the
’ouch colony of boomers who have formally
mnounred their intent .ion of marching upon
Iklahoma. The sc'eretary of war tele
;Tnpb-‘d Gen. Hatch ihrough Gen. Augur,
.vho is in Washington, that if he needed
nore troops he could have them.
Gen. Hatch has telegraphed to Fort Leav
enworth to have five companies in readiness
(> move at a moment's notice. The troops
ilready here are in the immediate command
if Ma j. Benton, who was with Reno at. the
ime Gen. Custer was killed iu 1876, and he
;ays ho knows his men will fight, as for three
years they have b<‘en scouting and fighting
[ndians in New Mexico and Arizona, and if
he ('ouch colony think they will not fight
hey are mistaken.
Gen. Hatch visited the men on Chico
•reek for the first t ime, and found the men in
t most advantageous position, and when the
:*olunm under Capt. Tom Dewees joins Ben
ton, the force will be so formidable that it
would be impossible for any number of
boomers to pass th • line.
Capt. Couch addressed the boomers at their
'amp, and counseled them to be prepared to
move immediately, and to come prejiared
with rations for sixty days, and with agri
cultural implements of all sorts, as imme*
liately upon their arrival at Oklahoma they
would liegin fanning.
Unless word comes from Washington to
withdraw the troops Gen. Hatch will not
budge and the colonists cannot reach Okla
homa. United States Commissioner Sher
man, United States District Attorney Hatton
md United States Marshal Rarick came over
from Wichita, and it is understood that
wholesale arrests of the boomers will be
made and continue until the last man is
placed under bonds.
Additions are being made to the colonists,
md Couch has under his command at leaet
I,<XM) men, well st<x*ke<l and provisioned, aud
ill intent upon going into the territory.

moment she obtains it, which she hopes will

“But it is reported you are under engage

the United States?”
“Well,” she replied, “my engagement will

months I am going to retire on ‘lrish
i Dynamiters.’ I will then depart for Eng
i laud and endeavor to reach the Soudau early
In the fall, where I will devote my time to
