and charming little actress, at the Opera
House next Tuesday night, will commence

to Lotta, Minnie Palmer, Annie Pixley
and even Maggie Mitchell, and NO one
person has ever aroused more enthusiasm
on the part OF the newspaper critics than
she. She Is pronounced full Of life, over
flowing with fun, yivacious, bright,
sparkling, and at times pathetic, an ex.
cellent singer, a pretty dancer, and pos
sesses sprightliness that, added to her
expressive face, Is captivating.

ONE FROM THE SOUTH
SURE oT APLAcEIN TIIE CABINET.
Although Cleveland aa. Not Said "rhou
Art the Man, 1t Is Pretty Well Settled
That Jonas win be Called out OF
the Many to be chosen From.

NRw YORK, Feb. Ga gentleman prom.
inently connected with the Democratic
National Committee during the recent
campaign said to a reporter this morning:
~ have good reason 10 believe Cleveland
has made up his mind about at least one
member Of his Cabinet. The choice will
give general satisfaction to the Democrats
Of the country. Senator German and Col.
onel Smalley have said TO Cleveland in
i plain words, we have no iayors 10 ash Of
you for ourselves, but II 1t is your wish to
testify IN any particular manner yonr APP
preciation OF the efforts Of the National
Committee in the elastcanvass, the appoint
ment Of Senator Jonas in your Cabinet
would be accepted by us as settlement
IN iull. We ask that, and that only
Colonel smalley dined with Cleveland
week before last and repeated this declara-
ton to him. i hear, in addition
Jonas, Is getting warm and sub
stantial support from Dan Manning,
Smith, Weed and other important New
York men, from leading members Of the
business mems associations and from a
wide circle OF prominent Democrats all
over the country, such as Governor Hoad-
ly, OF Ohio. The entire Kentucky delega-
ton, headed by Senator Blackburn, Is
solid for him first, last and all the time,
In the Senate he has the thorough friend
ship OF Vest, Butler OF California, Cam
den, Coke, German, Kenna, Mcpherson,
-Saulsbury, Slater and Aforey, and will
lave the practical backing ofall Demo-
cratic Senators us soon as the personal am
bition OF certain aspirants from their own
States have been disposed Of
Mr.. Jonas is earnestly pressed BY all the
Louisiana representatives except one, and
by the great majority OF Democratic Con-
gressmen from other States. Petitions
and memorialsin Jonas behalf are coming
up from every part OF Louisiana,
monster petition is being prepared in New
Orleans.
So far Cleveland has made no definite
sign OF what he intends to do. He wants
men OF Jonas exact measure and kind.
but he has not said, "thou art the man,
Still l have reason to believe that the
Presidentelect has made up his mind 10
call ex-senator Jonas, OF Louisiana, into
his cabinet as Postmaster General.n
Alter Cleveland breakfasted this morn
ing his private secretary began to admit
the cards oi callers who waited in the office

LONDON, Feb. G.-ArabiP Pasha, It seems,
had something to do with bringing about
Gordon's downfall, II the story told by q
prominent clergyman be credited. This
clergyman published letter this .aiter-
noon in the London Globe about meeting
in this city last November an Egyptian,
who had been project Of police under
Arabi This Prefect and the preacher be-
came well acquainted. On Christmas Last
they had a long conversation concerning
the Egyptian situation. The eclergymanex-
pressed the hopethat Lord Wolseley would
soon enter Khartoum. AT this the project
laughed, and said General Gordon was
perfectly safe where lie was, and Wolseley
would not enter Khartoum. Wilfred
Blunt, the project continued, Is the only
living man able To effect for England q
peaceful solution OF the Soudan question.
FL Mahdi had confidence in him and
would accept him as mediator.
So far as Lord Wolseley's expdeition
was concerned, the project said, Fl Mahdi
had arranged to allow 1t to approach
Khartoum without any regular opposition.
The Prophet migfittightat or near Shendy,
but,ii he did It would be merely for the
purpose OF tempting Wolseley on into fur
ther and greater risks. On no account,
however, would FL Mahdi fight deci-
Siye battle until tho British forces
were .1nassed in, the vicinity Of Khar-
tounl. General Gordon, the project
insisted, was already, at the time OF the
conversation, virtually q prisoner. His
so.Called defense Of Khartonm was mere
form, as FL Mahdi was not engaged in any
attack upon the town because 1t was prac.
tically in his power, and he could take 1t
whenever he pleased. The Prophets plan
was to allow Lord Wolseley's army to ap-
pfoach Khartoum, then TO enter the city,
take possession and fight Wolseley from
that great point Of vantage.
The project always insisted that Gen.
Gordon would not be killed by FL Mahdi.
The clergyman says he recalls this almost
prophetic discourse by Arabi's project OF
police with a clearness OF revelation, now
that it haSbeen aseertained that
the man when in Londoni~as there as an
emissary OF El Mahdi. The last thing the
project said to the clergyman was: Gen
eral Gordon will not be killed. L.e Mahtii
