American Interests at the Fisheries Ex-
 hibitiOn.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 27.-The successful l management of the American department of the international fisheries exhi bitionby Prof. Goode is clearly shown by the large number of medals awarded to our country. These have been recently received by Prof. Baird through the Secretary of State and are being distributed by registered mail. The exhibi- ton was the largest ever held for single in dustry, twenty-six foreign and colonial gov ernments being represented. The total attendance exceeded S3, ,OOO, 900. An exam ination of the official list of jury awards shows 1S3 gold, 271 silver and 179 bronze medals and 89 diplomas of honor were awarded to the foreign and colonial governments. The United States heads tho list with 49 gold, AZ silver, % bronze medals and 24 diplomas; equal to more than one-ffth of the entire number awarded. The special feature in the American awards is the large percentage of gold medals, there being nearly double those of any other country, constituting more than fourth of the entire number. Norway ranks second with 2S gold medals, Sweden third with P and Canada fourth with seven teen. In addition to the medals and di plomas seven special money prizes were awarded to American exhibitors and large number of awards were given to English agents for American canned products ex- hibited by them in the English department. commendable feature of our exhibit was the fine display made by the different depart ments of the government including the fish commission, the national museum, the life saving service, the Lighthouse board and sig
 nal service, each of which eIicited much favorable comment and received the highest awards.

MakiuR Him Out Insane-The Plea In
 Defense of the Murderer RoweIl.
 BATAVIA, Jan. 27.-The RoWell trial en- tered upon it's sixth day yesterday morning. On the opening of the court counsel for the defense asked the court to direct the jury to render a verdict of acquittal, on the ground that under the evidence the court advises the jury that the killing was done in self-defense and that it appeared by the peoples wit nesses that the defendant was insane and not in any way responsible. The application was denied. Counsel then began the open. ing of the case, and claimed that the crime was justified because of self-defense, and that the prisoner had been so wrought upon by Palmer as to have become insane and was irresponsible. Judge Sutton stated that it would be shown that Rowell had suffered from epilepsy for years, and in answer to an objection from the prosecution maintained that the law provided that the court may take plea of insanity at the same time es 8 plea of not guilty, and may order 8 commis- sion, as stated, but that the prisoner is not bound by it's report of the trial. The law was unchanged and it would make no differ ence any way if it was changed, as the legis- lature would exceed it's authority in changing it, as trial by jury was still preserved
 The court said the defense proposed would be permitted. The law of 1874, as referred to by council for the defense, was correct, and, though repealed by the new code, the material changes had been re-enacted, so that substantially the rule and form of pleading remained unchanged.
 A scheme was on foot last night to hang w. T. Palmer in effigy, but it was not carried out as the projectors feared arrest. To-day Rowen called on his wife at the Washburne House. The object is not known. The defense will com mence their testimony to morrow. It will be the last of the week before the case will be ended.

Chinese GordOn'z MissiOn-The General
 Not Entirely Solid With the Natives
 But a Hope That He VIII Meet she
 Crisis.
 LONDON, Jan. 27.-Sir Evelyn Barring has given General Gordon both 8 military and diplomatic mission with indefinite orders, which he is at liberty to modify emergen- cies arise If possible he is to retain posses sion of Khartoum. To save time he started to night by train for Assiout and embarked there for Wady Halfa. General Gordon is reported to have said in an interview at Cairo that he advises retaining tho control of the Soudan if England is willing to first pay for it's conquest and then govern 1t with firm and judicious hand. The enthusiasm that was evoked in England over the an- nouncement of General Gordon's mission to the Soudan is fast declining, as it has be- come known that the Sheikhs and tribes be- tween Suak;n and Berber, from whom Gen. eral Gordon expected a warm welcome and safe escort to Khartoum, were fercely hostile. It is seen that the reports of General Gordon's influence with the tribes were exaggerated. Advices from Suakin show that the tribes are more likely to kill General Gordon than 10 escort him to Khartoum. Zobehr Pacha refuses to support General Gordon in obtain ing the aid of the Berbers and Dongolese on the ground that General Gordon during his
 previous regime in the Soudan shot Zobehr's sons without charge of conspiracy. Gen. eral Gordon in an interview at Cairo refused to say more than that he was confident that he would reach KhartoEm within three weeks
 General Gordon's appointment as Cover nor General will be publicly proclaimed at | the military posts throughout the Soudan in 1 the hope that it will produce reaction in the tribes in favor of the government. The concentration of the garrison at Khaftoum l will give General Gordon IT 900 troops. The general has obtained full powers to eyacuate | or defend Khartoum, and treat with or fight l the Mahdi as he sees fit.
