dent Cleveland remained quietly at the
White House to-day, much to the disap-
pointment Of the largest congregation as.
sembled this. winter.for public worship at
the New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church. The edifice was crowded in every
part, chairs were brought in and placed in
the aisles and every foot Of standing room
was made available. The immense assem-
blage listened to an excellent discourse,
but the oountenances Of many as they
emerged from the church showed but too
plainly that the absence OF the President
hadl an aching void which even the
eloquent sermon had not completely filed.

Hardships OF the Retreat From Gakdul.
woiseiey's Address to His Troops.
LONDON, March "a dispatch from
Korti states that the retreat of General
Sir Redyers Buller's troops from Gakdul
to Ko,h was forced march Of the most
toilsome kind. The hot southerly wind,
which begins about this time OF the year
and usually lasts fifty dayp, prevailed dur.
ing the whole march, and prostrated
many men and animals. The men also
suffered terribly from thirst and from the
effects OF the hot sand being blown into
their eyes, causing ophthalmia and hem
orrhages. The Hassanyeh tribes, with q
large number OF Arab sharpshooters from
the Mahdi's troops at Berber, were assem-
bled at various points along the line OF re-
treat, and harassed the British column by
continued firing at long range. Their
attacks were most frequent at night, when
their fire could not be effectively returned.
KoRri, March 7.-General Wolseley, in
an address to the troops here yesterday
afternoon, said 1t was no fault OF theirs
that they failed TO rescue General Gordon.
"But," he added significantly, 1--WE will
meet Gordon's betrayers at the gates Of
Khartoum before the end oil the year. "
In conclusion. he e4horted the troops to
bear with patience the heat and trials Of
the coming summer, together with its con-
sequent inaction.

WASHINGTON, March s.-The organiza-
ton Of the Senate Committees engages the
attention Of Senators at present tin
wolves more difficulties than usual and
therefore may not be decided for several
days. There are five vacant Chairman
ships, including those Of the Committees
on Education and Labor, and Military
affairs, heretofore, filed respectively by
Senators Blair and Logan. Senator Blair,
1t is understood, will be temporarily ap-
pointed to till the vacancy created by the
expiration ofhis term, and It is probable
he will retain his craftsmanship until his
successor Is elected. The craftsmanship Of
the Military Affairs Committee II filed at
all will probably be filed conditionally, so
that Gen. Logan may return to his place,
should he be reelected. t5

nal in It's commercial summary says: spe
cial kilograms from leading trade center
give o brighter look to the general trad
situation than has been reported for som,
months. The raising Of the freight block
adc at Chicago and st. Louis has not onl.
been completed but there has been-agail
| in the movement OF merchandise in tn,
West and Northwest, which, with con
tinuance of pleasant weather, promises Il
be prolonged. Not only has the accumu
lated freight at Chicago and elsewhere a
the Westbeen cared for, but there is q de-
manda Bhipplng points West and North,
west fof5cara. Live stock shipments East
have been increasing as well as those o.
grain. -
At New York the movement Of mer-
chandiae has increased somewhat. The
dry goods jobbets report o larger business,
but the commission houses are doing little
or nothing. Groceries are moderately &C
tive only.
Boston jobbers in dry goods say trade
has improved, but commission houses re-
port the reverse. The explanation is that
Iobbers purchased heavily some months
ago, and have had to carry their stocks
ever since. The first demand from the
interior affects them favorably, but natu-
rally the commission houses are waiting
for buyers.
Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati. St.
Louis, and other leading distributing
points, announce better inquiry for dry
goods. {.
At no center Is there any radical i'm
proyementin iron. The demandand price
are about the same.
There has been very fair movement
in grocery staples, without materially AZ
fecting the situation, and prices remain
nominal on most goods.
Dairy products continue depressed, with
the market in buyers favor.
WOOL. =
BosToS, March 7.-The Aivrtiser in its
weekly review Of the wool market says:
The market has been very quiet as COM
pared with last week, but one or two
houses report more extensive demand
toward the close Of the week. The most
important feature has been the decided
weakness in fine choice wools, such as Xxx
and above Ohio and fine delaine. There
has been more pressure to sell Xxx and
above Ohio, and as a result IS is more Of
an extreme price than before reported,
while good lots are offered at 33!. Sales
Of x Ohio have been made as low as Sic,
and only q fancy lot will now bring 3Sc,
although the best are still held at that.
So, also, with Xxx and above. Some
choice lots still cannot be bought for less
than Soc. There is no surplus OF fine
delaine, but 1t can be bought in limited
quantities at 800, some lots being held at
SIC. Some Michigan wool has, we are sure,
been sold at 29c this week, and is included
in ''unclassiied,n but transactions have
also been made at SOC. Buyers at this
price demand that the delaine shall be
left in.

LONDON, March IA reporter had I
conversation this evening in the lobby O
the House Of Commons with member o.
Parliament well known in America, 9
representative Of an important manufac-
turing centre, a warm friend Of Golden,
and perhaps the most effective living rep
resentatiye OF the doctrines that the re-
former sought to successfully apply. The
conversation was held Just before Mr..
Gladstone was called upon 10 parry a
number OF embarrassing questions regard
ing Russian encroachments, and was as
follows:
"Do / think England means to fight2
Certainly no one detests war more than l
do; but there are many things worse than
war. Our policy in first conquering India
and then attempting to. govern 1t l con:
slider q great mistake, as did Golden. But
as matters stand England must and will
put forth all her strength to see that no
one molests her in that quarter. It is
Bismarck's policy to put all the nations Of
Europe by the ears, for he thinks he can
then have q better opportunity TO use his
power; and I have no doubt he would
like to see Russia drawn off further
TO the. east. He Is bound to
grab the German provinces Of Russia
some day, and Russia may be willing to
buy his neutrality by giving up strip on
the Baltic. These provinces are really
German and the transition would be very
easy. But that England will fight Il
necessary is quite sure. Our Government
Is alive now, and there will be no more
temporizing. Gladstone will be strength
ened rather than otherwise in the event
OF a war. The people would not trust the
Jingoes IN o war. They are bad enough
in peace times, but they would ruin the
country II they got the running Of war
in their hands"
= While these views are being given on
one side Of the lobby, q prominent Con-
seryatiye, brother OF noble lord we'll
known In New York, raised feeble smiles
among group OF friends by reciting
verses just improvised:-
..They used to call him @. ON,
But that day long has past
They call him now The. q. U.M
Because he stuck so fast"
This is as good an illustration as any Of
the Tory disappointment at Gladstone's
remaining in Office after the division on
the vote OF censure.
