General GOrdOn's Peril-A Statement
Made Ny His Brother.

General GordOn's Perfl-A Staten eat
Made Ny His Brother.
LONDON, April 27.-General Sir Henry
William Gordon, x. O. B., tho brother Of
'Chinese'' Gordon, had an important confer
ence yesterday with Lord Granville, Secretary
for Foreign Affairs, in reference to the con-
dition of affairs at Khartoum. In an inter-
view Immediately after the conference Sir
Henry Gordon stated that Lord Granville
and the government were still undecided as
to the expediency of sending an expedition
for the relief of Berber and Khartoum, Sir
Henry said that he had expressed to Lord
Granville his belief that General Gordon was
in no personal danger, and advised that the
government should await the arrival of Gen
eral Sir Gerald Graham, whe Ia a warm per-
sonsl friend of General Gordon,
and who accompanied him up the
Nile as far as Dongola, on
his way to Khartoum. General
Graham is now on bis way to England. as
well as Sir Evelyn Barring and Mr.. Clifford
Lloyd, and Is expected to arrive with them
on Monday. Sir Henry Gordon also warned
Lord Granville that Sir Evelyn Barring was
an enemy of General Gordon and cautioned
him to receive with distrust the advice that
the Minister to Egypt might give as to the
means of relieving the Soudan garrisons
Sir Henry called attsntion to the
remarkable fact that large num-
Der of women and children who were sent
down the Nile from Khartoum last February
for safety are still detained at Berbsr and are
in fully as much danger there al present as
they were in February at Khartoum. Lord
Granville agreed that this was q most
extraordinary fact and said that he had re-
psatedly telegraphed to Sir Evelyn Barring
and to Hussein Pacha, the Governor of Ber-
Der, for information as to the reasons for
the detention OF these refugees but had
never received any satisfactory reply.
Gloomy News From Khartoum-Troops
DssertIng From GOrdOn's Ranks,
CAIRO, April 27.-Intelligenoe from Khar-
toum is of the most gloomy character. The
latest dispatches state that General Gordon's
| influence is waning SO rapidly that he no
| longer controls the situation even within his
own lines. 1t is reported to-day that four
| brigades of bashi-bazouks and five hundred
| regulars have deserted him and Joined the
rebels and that the detection is of SO serious
q nature that 1t may be necessary for him to
attempt an Immediate escape accompanied
by those of his followers who still remain
true.

Irfshmen Who Want the League
 Kept Out of Politics.


 Kept Out of Politics.
 DEs MONIES, Ia., Sept. 17-At a meet ing of the Fort Dodge branch of the Irish National league thirteen members withdrew from the organization and signiied their intention to remain out long as Patrick Egan remains it's president. The feeling is that by his unwarranted and uncalled for political pronunciamento he has plunged the league into American politics contrary to the platform upon which he was elected. These thirteen seceders have addressed letter to M V. Cannon, presi- dent of the Iowa branch of the league, in which they express their belief that the very prominent part taken by the league's nation al treasurer at the national convention that nominated Blaine and the early announce ment that Alexander Sullivan would not accept the presidency for the reason that he must go on the stump for Blaine, and the unwarranted claim by the Republican press that the Irish were going in 8 body for Blaine before the Democratic candidate had been nominated, leads many to be lieve that it is only part of programme which partakes of the nature of attempted sale of the vote of the Irish National league of America in the in terest of Blaine. The thirteen signers of the letter withdrew from the league until such time as Patrick Egan steps down and out. It is understood that the league will call a special meeting and sanction their

The Entire Family Gone To Parts Un-
 known.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-With the evident intention of ending the notoriety which the Morosini-S -Schilling elopement has given them, the entire Morosin1 family left their resi- denee at Yonkers for parts unknown. Their departure was taken board Washington E. Connor's yacht, which steamed down the river towards this city. Mrs. Sehilling wis ited her former home shortly after the departure of the family and was greatly surprised to find the house occupied by servants only. She returned to New York at once evidently greatly disappointed. Miss Julia Morosini was seen shortly before leav- ing Yonkers and denied that she and her brother had accompanied Mir. and Mrs. Schil- ling to the depot yesterday. All stories that a reconciliation has been or is likely to be effected, she said, are untrue.
