being left in charge of the ramparts, opened

enemy Some rUmors state the mahdi to

seen wearing the mahdi's uniform. The
majority agree, however, that Gen. Gordon
was killed.
SIR HENRY GORDON,
brother OF "Chinese'' Gordon, says he is of
the opinion the Mahdi's regulars who sub
mitted to Gordon in December, mutined
and betrayed the garrison. Gordon's great
fault was in placing too much confidence in
his men. Unless the mutineers murdered
him in the first step of their rebellion, he
has no fears for the generals safety.
PRESS COMMENTS.
The Daily News says ''Seldom in the
memory of living men has news been re-
ceived of such d disaster to England. The
cry Of too late' against the government is
uujusti6ed - The News thinks Col. VIII
sons steamers might have arrived at Khar-
toum earlier than they did. II feels con-
vinced national calamity is not TO be
utilized in furtherance of party feeling.
The Daily Telegraph says: ''The situation
is one Of grave and complicated difficulty.
II is right that all should wait for decision
Of the ministry, upon whose shoulders the
responsibility rests, and who must possess
most Of the complete military infor-
nation Nothing can be gained by
wild reproaches for bygone delays.
If the government cannot rescue
Gen. Gorhon, let it dare no longer, but re-
tire. The mahdi must be crushed. The
government has a great misfortune to repair.
But it is no disgrace to lament. Ali that is
now needed is the statesmen TO rise to the
heroic level Of our soldiers.

Secret of the Opposition to Botkfn.

Special Telegram.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Sit is stated that the
objections to the retention of Mr. B)tkiu for
marshal of Montana, ARISES from the fact tha'
ex-Gov. Crosby is opposed to him, because
the Botkin crowd defeated Crosby as dele
gate TO the Chicago convention, VINO wanted
to go there as an Arthur delegate, while
Botkin was for Blaine. The allegation that
Butkin is physically and mentally unfit for
the place is Indignantly denied by the mar
sha.'s friends. They say that his intellect is
as clear and he is as capable as ever he was
for the position. 1t strikes them as singular
that they are just finding that he is incaDa-
bic for the position. The fact
is, Crosby has so persistently diug-douged
at the president, with whom be is very strong,
that Mr.. Arthur has yielded to CrOsoy's im-
portunities. The opposition TO Botkin It is
said eau be summed in few words, viz,
that he was opposed to Arthur's renomina-
tion and ths, be and his friends defeated
Crosby for slegate to the Chicago couycn-
ton. 1t IL believed here that the churges
against fkin will not be sustained and the
Arthur ac niuistraton will not be able to get
him out. The Wisconsin senators, It is
stated, art eoufdrnt that they will either de-
feat the co Idrmation of Krewlsr or hang the
nomination up altogether.

here that President-elect Cleveland has made
up Il list ofeome twenty-five or thirty persons
as possible cabinet selections, and he will
discuss the merits and capabilities OF these
with such of his visitors in New York as he
deems worthy Of such confidence. 1t Is still
the fact that no one has yet been positively
determined upon for the cabinet although
Mr.. Cleveland has his preference in one or
two instances and has so stated. He would
like very much to put Mr.. Whitney in the
cabinet and if he fails to do so 1t will be
mainly because of the criticism which might
be provoked on account of Mr.. Whitney's
connection with the Standard Oil company.
1t is understood that during his stay in New

But down through the years comes little

And softly he murmurs her idolized name;

clingng
AS she chung in those dear distant years to

He sees her fair face, and he hears her sweet

And Nellie is coming from over the sea.
While patriot Hope stays the fullness of sor-
row,
While our eyes are bedimmed, and our

He dreams of the daughter who comes on the

Like an angel come back from the dear long

And what for our love or our grief careth

A swift speeding ship in a-sail on the ocean,

SURPRISING Mutiny.

FROM bNe ot. LOUIS hepWOCtcI0s
William II. Lytle, author of the poem,
"The Death of Anthony" that begins, II
am dying, Egypt, dying" was the man
for mutineers. At one time during the
war l was sent under his command with
several pieces of light artillery, among
them two or three howitzers, in a brigade
that went out on raid some place near
Shelbyville, in Tennessee. When we
started out the wagons were used to carry
the soldiers knapsacks, ETC.. and when
we had gathered together what forage we
wanted the wagons had to be used to car
ry it. OF course the soldiers then had to
carry their baggage, and when the order
was given to do this one regiment refused
to obey and said they would not touch
their knapsackS. Colonel Lytle marched
the men over to where the knapsacks
were and again ordered the men to take
them up. Again they refused. l was
stationed on little eminence a short dis
lance away, and presently here came
Colonel Lyle galloping over to me with
his sabre out and his eyes flashing.
Captain EdgartOn," said he, ''will you
let me have those hOwitzers:"
Certainly" l answered, and gave the
order for the guns to move.
Coming over right in front of the mutt
neers, Colonel Lyle gave the order, SAT
tentiOnl Load with canister Take aim ="
and then in an undertone bidding the
gunners await in readiness the word
fire. spoke to the mudneers, saying:
"4Ou- - - -, take up your knapsa cks,
or, by God, I'll wipe you off the face of
the earthv Not man in the regiment
moved, and Lytle waited fully a minute.
"Now, d-n you" said Lytle, ''Pll give
you one minute to pick up those KNAPP
sacksv' Slowly, first one and then an
other, and then a third, picked up his
knapsack, and before the minute was up
there was not piece of baggage on the
ground,
