victed, instead Of from April 7th, 1884.
when be was sentenced
Respectfully,
ALEX. r BoTELER,
Clerk of Pardons.
Had it not been for this order KelIer's
sentence would not have expired until
Christmas morning, but the carrying back
of the date of his sentence from April 7,
1884, to February IA, 1885, cuts off fifty
FIVE days from that time. aud made his
term expire November 2j,-lsst Monday.
Keller will probably come up to this city
to-day.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE cabinet to-day
approved Gen. Wolseley's plan for an
early advance from Suakim to Berber,
1t is calculated that the advance will be
gin about the third week in March, and
it is hoped that Berber will be reached
in six weeks. Ariab. where an en-
trenched camp will be formed, is on the
road from Suakim tosBerber, and is de-
scribed as a smiling oasis" where there
is good pasturage and plenty of water.
There is still slight ground for hoping
that Gordon is alive. The accounts Of
newspaper correspondents come from
common native sources, and no witnesses
are mentioned. With Gen. Gordon were
Hanzal, Austrian vice-consul, and
twenty Greek and Levantine merchants.
The firms at Alexandria for whom the
Greeks have been acting as agents, do not
believe the story of the massacre at
Khartoum. 1t is known the Mahdi
holds fifty Greek prisoners in his camp at
FL Obeid, and that they are well treated.
In reply to inquiries Gen. Wolseley tele-
graphs that he has no more authentic
news han hat brought to Karti by Col.
Wilson.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Standards

sends the following dispatch. dated Dulka
Island, Tuesday: ''The British troops ad-
vanced to attack the enemy. who held a
strong position in the hills. After some
fighting the enemy was completely sur
rounded. Finding it impossible to dis
lodge the rebels from their fortified posi-
ton, Gen. Earle ordered the troops to
charge. Gen. Earle was killed while
leading the attack. The Black Watch
regiment captured the position at the
point Of the bayonet, the cavalry taking
possession of the enemy's camp. Gen.
B~rackenbury, upon the fall Of Gen Earle,
assumed command, and ordered the re-
naming positions Of the enemy to be
stormed. The troops acted promptly,
made a gallant attack and soon captured
all the enemy's positions. The fighting
lasted FIVE hours There was great
slaughter among the enemy, and those
who survived, escaped by swimming the
river.
Lieut. Co. Eyre was also killed.

LONDON. Feb. ll.-Gen. Gordon. be-
fore his departure on the mission to Sou
dan, told a personal friend, who now
makes the story public. that he enter
tanned a presentiment that he would
never return from Khartoum. Gordon
said the presentiment was distinct and in
tense, and he could not push it off.
Throughout his entire life, he said, he
had always been strongly and correctly af-
fected by presentiments. During his
military career in China, he was guided
by them, but never, even in the most
critical moments of that eventful period.
had he ever expected death. His friend
also asserts in pursuance of his belief in
presentiment, which covered him with its
sh adow before he started for Khartoum,
Gen. Gordon actually bestowed upon his
chosen friends all his trinkets and mem
entoes.
1t is announced that a narrow gauge

The Exemption Law In the
Senate.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The senate
resumed the consideration of the bill to re-
peal the presumption and timber culture
laws. Several amendments to the bill
were made and Others relating to various
general features Of the land laws not be-
fore affected by the bill were proposed.
Slater opposed the bill. He said the pro-
position to repeal the presumption law
was monstrous. Greater prosperity had
come under the. operation Of this law than
Of the homestead law; he would entitle
the pending bill, IAN act TO facilitate the
sale of lands Of land grant corporations. -
There had been evils under the pre- emp
ton law, but they were not such as would
be remedied by its repeal. Within the
past twenty-five or thirty years the West
had been covered with land grants No
longer, in several states, could homestead
ers get lands; yet land grant roads had an
abundance of land for sale. 1t was said
100 acres was enough for a farm. 1t was
enough in such states as Iowa, but in the
great West more was necessary for the
farmer to be successful in making home.
Under the homestead and presumption
laws n settler could secure 500 acres.
Slater would. however, be willing to re-
peal the desert and timber culture acts.
The bill was reported to the senate and
some amendments rejected in committee
Of the whole were re-offered. Pending
their discussion, the senate went into ex-
ecutive session and soon adjourned.

The Speaker.-The chair, acting as the
officer representing the house in joint
convention, would have made a protest, if
any improper declaration by the presiding
officer had been delivered.
Randall said the vote OF the electors
had been announced. and that any
ministerial proceeding was not essential to
the main fact that Grover Cleveland had
been elected.
Hammond thought that the joint con-
v~ention. having made its declaration, had
nothing further to do with it.
