Invalid —President Cleveland’s Course Pleases Tammany—Among the 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. Grant's Condition. New York, March 16.—Gen. Grant yut in his library writing letters.

Li at I ■ 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. Skirmishing. St'AKiM, March 16.—El Mahdi’s men at- i acked the ordnance endusure of the garrison | md killed two sentries belonging to the Berk lire regiment and wounded three others. During this engagement in the dark one of ;he attacking party was killed and several were wounded.

Into Lamp. Korti, March 16. —Gens. Wolseley, Brack- I Mi bur,-' and Dormer have started for their re jpecti ■ camps. The Royal Irish regiment iave arrived herefrom Gakdul Wells.

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.
