Randall, Carlisle and Cleveland.
ALBANY, January 29th.-What appeared
to be sensational paragraph was printed
in the Journal this morning. 1t was to the
effect that President-elect Cleveland was
visited late last night by eX-Speaker Ran
dali, in response to a letter OF invitation
sent him in Washington. Immediately at
ter his arrival here Randall was driven to
Cleveland's temporary abode, where the
two men held a conference lasting several
hours. This morning the talk was re-
Sumed, and at its conclusion Randall re-
turned to New York Speaker Carlisle is
also mentioned as having been invited by
Cleveland, and is expected to arrive Satur-
urday morning. Colonel d. S. Lamont,
private Secretary of the President-eiect,
corroborates the statement that Randall
was here, and in conversation with the
Presdent-elect, and that Carlisle is expect
ed but beyond that he was extremely ret
icent. Rumor has it that the President elect
is not satisfied with the way things are 60
ing on in Congress, and wants Randall and
Carlisle to adopt some fresh and vigorous
policy. Of course nobody had the smallest
particle of information as to what took
place between Cleveland and Randall, but
it is the general belief that nothing in the
line of Cabinet appointments was men,
toned.
Murderous Mutiny on IA Swedish Vessel.
New YORK, January 29lh.-The Swedish
brigantine Natal arrived yesterday, having
sailed from Boston for Brisbane and
Queensland On the outward trip terri
bic mutiny occurred, and the mutineers
killed Captain Enstrom's son and nearly
killed the Captain himself. 1t appears that
some of the mutineers were coerced; SO the
Captain, having no leg-irons or handouts,
shot two OF the ringleaders and threw their
bodies overheard The details of the story
are horrible.
A later dispatch gives the following par
ticulars of the mutiny on the brigantine
Natal: When two months out the Captain
was attacked in his berth, al night, by the
carpenter, armed with broadaX, but aided
by the mate lie beat off his asSailant, who
was joined by the steward. also armed. The
Captain stanched his wounds, and he and
the mate armed themselves with gun and
a revolver, and sailed out, where they were
met by the carpenter. steward and three

capstan bars. In the struggle the Captains
pistol was captured, and the mate was Shot
under the right eye and in the chin. The
Captain received numerous wounds and
slashes from the sheath knives. The
mutineers sfetreated into the forehold,
where they were all imprisoned, as
was supposed, by the battening down
of the matches. The Captain and
mate took in the topsails and outer jibs
and then searched for the second mate
who was the Captains son. They found
the cap, gashed and bloody. He had been
murdered and thrown overheard. Sud
denly they discovered the carpenter skulk-
ing behind the capstan, and he was over
powered and tied. The Captain and mate
worked the vessel for four days and then
loosened the fore hatch and called on the
mulineers to come up, disarm and surren-

pistols had been lost below The Captain
had no leg-irons or handouts with which
to secure them. and as he believed they
lied, he shot the carpenter and steward
dead and threw their bodies overheard.

thority for the statement that at q meeting

Selling Seats III the Stock Exchange.
NEW YORK, January 29th-The World
says: George J. Gould, a son of Jay Gould,
has purchased seat in the Stock Ex-
change. His application for membership
will be considered to-day by the Admission
Committee. The application of c. ?. Hunt
ington will also be- considered. George J.
Gould is a young man of vigorous frame
and good habits. and it is believed he will
have no difficulty in securing the election.
Huntington, while still active as most men
twenty years his junior, may have diff 4
Guilty in passing the Examining Committee,
which also acts in the capacity of medical
examiners. The Exchange gives the fam
lily of each deceased member gratuity OF
$4,000, and all are interested in keeping
the death rate as low as possible. As
Huntington is already within eight years
of three score and ten, many members be-
lieye it would be unfair to younger MEM
bers to admit him to the privileges of the
gratuity fund. The opposition is fostered
also by the business enemies of the capital
list. Among the reasons assigned for GouldS
purchase Of Il seat Is Huntington example.
LATER.-Huntington was admitted to the
Stock Exchange to-day.
a Presidential Spot.
New YORK, January 29th.-The Post this
evening says Our Washington dispatches
give startling information concerning the
mortality upon the line of the Panama
Canal. There seems to be no doubt about
the authenticity OF the facts. The Director
General of the Canal Company has lost his
entire family by yellow fever, and is him
self the only survivor of party of twelve
persons who arrived at the isthmus some
fifteen months ago. The annual death
rate is put down as eleven in every hun
dred. The disease seems to be the yellow
fever in nearly every case. The sender of
this message reasonably concludes that the
isthmus is pestilential, and in doing so
merely confirms the views of previous OBJ
servers. The building of canal through
such country can be scarcely less costly
in human life than bloody war.
