ANXIETY OVER GENERAL GORDONs FATE


THE RESULT OF HIS BATTLE WITH THE REBELS
NOT KNOwN-A CABINET COUNCIL.
LONDON. March 22.-The feeling of dis
quiet in regard to General Gordon
has been lessened but not overcome
by the news received up to March 15 His position
is regarded as extremely precarious. 1t is felt that
the curtain has again fallen upon Khartoum at Il
most critical moment. Until the issue of
the battle between General Gordon and
the Arab army on March 16 is known
the anxiety fol his fate will continue unabated
But even if General Gordon was successful i'll that
engagement, it Is now generally recognized that his
mission is a failure. The rescue of the Egyptian
garrisons from the SOudan is now admitted to be
impossible without the Intervention of English
forces.
The latest dispatches received at Cairo from
General Gordon indicate that he supposes an
English force is on the way to Khartoun
The absence of advices from Berber is source OF
fear that General Gordon was repulsed III the battle
of March 10. He hemmed in AT khaTtOum on all
sides and maintains his position in the expecta-
tion that English army VIII speedily appear 10
give him succor.
Ii is reported that in the Cabinet meeting to-day
DISPATCHES from Cairo were considered which
stated that the immediate danger of the fall OF
Khartoum was over. But Sir Evelyn Barring, the
of British contingent to Berber either
by way of KorOskO or two squadrons
from the troops at Suakim. The Marquis OF hart
mqton Secretary of State for War; has appointed
a council at the War Office. 1t is believed that the
Cabinet is i'll favor of an expedition from Sua-
kim.

THE KING CONGRATULATED BY THOUSANDS AT THE
PALACE
BERII y, March 22.-Ihe eighty-seventh anniver-
sary of the Emperor Williams birth day, was cele-
brated to-day as a holiday. Buildings throughout
the city were decorated with hags. Thousands of
people thrOnged about the palace Nearly all the
German princes present. The first congratu-
latory telegram received was from Queen Victoria.
Emperor William appeared at the windows of the
palace, and the multitude in the streets sautcd
him with enthusiastic and lOng-cOntnued cheers
Prince Bismarck drove to the palace through cheer
ing crowds and, lat the head of the Ministry, offered
his congratulations to the Emperor. Later he paid
a second visit at the head of deputation of the
Pru, sian nobility The ceremony of mounting guard
was attended by the principal military and naval
officers of Berlin in full uniform. The watcnwOrd
for the day was Long live his Majesty, the En-
peror and King The Emperor has appointed Cap
tain Won Seckendori, of the Navy, his principal
alde-decalnp This is the first time this honor has
gone to the Navy.
The flags of the German Empire displayed the
German Consul's Office in this city aud many ships in
the harbor. The German Club celebrated the day with
a dinner at its rooms in West Twenty f0urth-st. IN the
evening. About 100 present including the officials
of the German Consulate and many prominent GeImen

RECENT ELECTIONS.

RECENT ELECTIONS.
The Tory victories in Cambrdgeshire and Hun
tingion afford no indication of the general feeling
of the country. The late Speaker (Sr Henry
Brand held minority seat for a county which the
Liberals have not dreamed of contestng ordinarily
Huntington replaces one Tory by another by
largely reduced majority. Sir Robert Peel, how
ever, is personally an important addition to the
forces of the irregular opposition.
Mr.. ARNoLD's LECTURE.
Mr. Matthew Arnold delivered his lecture on
Emerson last night at the Royal Institution before
al exceptionally distinguished audience which
crowded the theatre He said nothing having
direct reference to his visit to America, though his
lecture contained passages which have per-
haps been added since its delivery in Boston, in
timatng that America being young countay is apt
like young persons to evince in literary judgment
some want of scale and measure and concluding
that Emerson's guidance was useful 10 America
that great intelligent, sensual, avarcious America
to which he offers as an example his dignity, deli
cacy, serenity and elevation.
THE INTERMINABLE LITIGATION.
The defendant in the Belt-Lawes case appeals to
the House of Lords against the decision of the Court
of Appeals affirming full verdict for the plaintiff
The opinion Of the Master of the Rolls III Mr.. Belts
favor is considered to reflect rather too closely the
opinion of society. His two concurrng colleagues
Justices Sir Richard Baggallay and Sir Nathaniel
Lndley, are not reputed to be among the strongest
Judges on the English bench The press being tired
of the subject opposes an appeal which the counsel
after consultation believe will be successful.
