1t Ia expected that the Senate
will be convened in special session
almost Immediately on the adjourn
ment of the present Congress to
consider tho appointments and dis
cuss the treaties,
President elect Cleveland will go
to Washington quietly next Tues
day, declining all attentions by the
way. His inaugural Is nearing
completion. Senators Bayard, La
mar and Garland, Daniel Manning
and Frank Jones are confidently
named in New York as members of
President Cleveland's Cabinet. Col.
Villas is now said not to be sure of
the War Office, and an entirely new
man is believed to be ticketed for
the Post Office.
The Gladstone Government is ne.
gotiating with the Irish members of
Parliament to secure their assistance
in stemming the tide of censure.
The drouth Of last summer nearly
ruined all the crops in the interior
counties of West Virginia, ard the
people are reported in a suffering,
furnishing condition.
Three Intellectual attempts were
made at Exeter, England, Monday
to hang a murderer, and he was
then respited.
Randall's big scheme for building
a new navy was killed in the House
Monday.
1t is charged that France and
Russia have been influencing Tur
key to pursue a policy in relation
to Egypt which, if carried out, would
interrupt the friendly relations be.
tween England and Turkey.
Reports from ConstantinopIe are
to the effect that Russia, profting
by the position in which England is
placed, intends to ask for a modif-
cation Of the regulations concerning
the navigation of the Dardanellcs-
the old dispute from which arose
the Crimean war.
The Senate has passed the Post
Office Appropriation bill, and Sena-

vice was rewarded by the passage
Of an appropriation of $8o0,oOO fol-
this object. The Senate completely
changed its attitude on Legislation
upon appropriation bills, Mr.. Ed,
munds abandoning his task Of try,
ing to control the Senate. d
The extracts from the posthumous
papers Of General Gordon, now Civ
en- to the public, will be calculated
to make the position of the Glad
stone Government even more I'M
pleasant and less secure than any
thing which has yet happened in
this lamentable business. The let
ters date from the middle of Sep
TENDER to the middle of December,
and contradict the alleged dispatch
from Gordon, published several
weeks before the fall of Khartoum,
expressing a belief in his ability to
