Accounts of Gordon's Death

KoRTI, Feb. H. Advices from
Abu Klea, near Gubat, state that
small outpost affairs occur daily.
The enemy is receiving guns and re-
Inducements from Khartoum, and
the Mahdi has ordered all the tribes
in the vicinity to assemble immedi-
at. ly and attack the British forces at
that point.
Gen. Gordcn's trusted messenger,
George, has arrived at Abu Klea, he
says almost all the native accounts
agree that when Gordon found him
self betrayed. he made rush for the
magazine. near the Catholic mission
building; but finding the rebels
already in po session he returned to
the government house and was kille
while trying to re-enter. The rebels
were admitted - khartoum at 10
o'clock on the night of the oath of
January.
Another account says Gordon
rushed towards the magazine int end
ing to explode it, and thus prevent
the ammunition, Of which there was
several tons, falling into the hands
of the enemy. The Arabs quickly
realized his inten: iol:nt shot him
dead.

A Chinaman named Chung Wau
dropped suddenly upon the side walk
Yesterday in the vicinity of China
Town. He had hit the pipe" too
often and undoubtedly lost control
of his better Judgment. His min iature
death was remarkable from the fact
the pictures upon his imagination
were not left in palpabe colors. In
his wild and delirious raving. he
painted such word scenes, the assem-
bled mob wondered why ne hadn't
died before. Itis currsntly reported
that the spirit Of Chung Wah has
gone to the silent realm. IF this be
the case thu Lord will have to oxer-
else an immense amount of ingenuity
in condoneing the horrible crimes

Am Exciting Scene.

BERLIN, Feb. 7.-Quite an excit-
ing scene took place in the Reichstsg
last evening during the debate on
the subject of increasing the duty on
cereals. While Bismarck was speak
ing in favor OF raising the duty on
wheat to three marks he noticed a
commotion among the new German
liberal and socialist members who
occupied seats on the left of the
house. Becoming Indignant at the
noise he stopped for moment, and
then pointing in the direction of the
offending members, said: mischief
is your tactics" Cries arose from
the left, "This is moDstrous. You
will then say We foretold the people
we would not suffer from this bod
tax" A deafening tumult ensued,
aud it was some moments before Or
der was restored.

Sulltvan's Confession.

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-The con nfession
Of J. J. Sullivan, witness for defense
In the Mackln case, to the effect that
for four silver dollars and the prom
ise OF a place in the government
printing office in Washington. he
committed perjury, and that the tes-
timony he gave last week was en-
tirely at Mackin's dietation. 1t has
produced the greatest CONSERVATION
among parties implicated with
O'Brlen. the man who is alleged to
have acted as agc-between for Mackin
and Sullivan, and who first broached
Mackin's sche me to the latter. He
was arrested this morning, and war
Iauts were also issued for the arrest
Of Titman and Simons, two others of
Mackin's witnesses.
Sullivan went upon the witness
stand in the Federal court this MORN
ing and reheared the story told in
his affidavit of his subornaiion by
Mackln to commit perjury. The
revelation created sensation in the
jury box. Members of the jury are
being closely guarded and are not
to read the Lapers. This
was the first intimation they had of
what was coming.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-Mr. Hyndman,
chairman Of the Democratic fedora
ton, presided at q meeting of the un-
employed workingmen this after
noon. Cheers for social revolution
were given and violent speeches were
made. The speakers insisted that
railways and other public companies
should be forbidden to employ men
over eight hours daily. One speaker
asserted,that Jay Gould had recen ntly
defeated similar measure in New
York state, and that he had his pro-
totypes in the Goshens, Rothschilds
and Brassey's of this country. Some
of the policemen drew their slaves
when the crowd became noisy and
demonstrative and charged upon
those present, who He'd precipitately.
Some stones were thrown at the
police aud several OF them were
knocked down during the disturb
ance. No arrests made.
