The center of Political interest,".

+ LONDON, Jan. 19.-Khartoum has become the
most important city in the world to the Glad
stone Cabinet. Whether the garrison is saved,
or assacred, it is the center of political inter-
est of the hour, and it apparently involves the
life and death of the English Ministry. Reports
are contradictory as to the chances of the city
but their general purport is gloomy. Below the
frontier fixed by the English Cabinet there are
scattered 43. 900 soldiers and as many thousand
civilians. Six thousand camels, at least, would
be required to relieve them, and a dollar for
every cent the Khedive can afford. Several
small garrsons south of Khartoum have already
been cut off, and the Mahdi is reputed to massa-
ere freely. The Nile is blocked both north and
south of the doomed city. Hosts of Arabs are
swarming toward it. and inside good half of the
population believe in the Mahdi. Baker Pasha
at Suakim, has almost as momentous a task in
rescuing the garrison and the women and the
children of Sinkat, and the prestige of the for
eign government which is involved in their fate
Provisions are getting scarce; % 600 rebels stand
between Suakim and Sinkat Baker shows con
siderable adroitness in working simultaneously
on the pockets the superstitions and the blood
feuds of the Arabs. He has succeeded in brib
ing some of them and in getting others excom-
municated. Through his Vaccinations others
are clearing the route to the beleaguered garri-
son by cutting each others throats He cannot
advance, however, until the arrival of Zobhr and
his black troops. That worthy is taking his
time.

Why He Did Not Buy the Letters.

Interview in National Republican.
Don't you think the publication of those let
lers of yours will have bad effect upon Con-
gress and make the passage of bill forfeiting
your grant more favorabe2"
II don't believe it. At any rate there was
nothing in those letters that l want to take back
or apologize for They were the reflex of the
day. If l were to write them now 1 should
speak differently of some men, because know
them better than I did then, but 1 don't
want to change word in them. They were the
reflex of that day, and expressed my feeling at
that time. and l think there are some pretty
good things in them.
Mr.. Huntington's face took on a very cheer
full, not to say merry, expression as he con
tinued 'Four men came to me about those
letters at different times before they were
published. They said they were friends of
they thought they could get them. l told these
men that It would be a good idea for them to get
the letters They said It would cost something
they supposed. | said l thought they could
make something out of them even if they had to
pay something for them. They We're good spicy
letters, and probably somebody would like to
buy them. Then these friends of mine got closer
to me- and explained that | was to buy them
The devil, said l. what do / want of the ettersl
Why, wrote them. / know what's in them.
Let some fellow that hasn't read them buy them.
There's lots of good things, lots of spice in
them'
Then Mr.. Huntington said more seriously:
mo, don't believe these letters have done me
