An Uncredited Story.

All OuCftulLtQ oloIJ-
LONDON, Feb. 6.-Anbi Pasha seems
to have had something to do with bring
ing about Gordon's downfall, if the story
told to-day by a prominent clergyman in
London is to be credited. Thisclergyman
publishes a letter in this afternoon edition
of the London Globe about meeting in
that city last November an Egyptian who
had been project Of police under Arab.
The project and the preacher became well
acquainted. On Christmas they had a
long conversation concerning the Egypt
ian situation. The clergyman expressed
a hope that Lord Wolseley would soon
enter Khartoum. At this the project
laughed, and said Gen. Gordon was per-
fectly safe where he was, and Wolseley
would not enter Khartoum. Wilfred
Blunt, the project continued, was the
only living man able to effect for England
a peaceful solution of the Soudan ques-
ton. El Mahdi had confidence in him
and would accept him as a mediator. So
far as Lord Wolseley's expedition is con-
cerned, the project said, FL Mahdi had
arranged to allow it to approach to Khar-
toum without any regular opposition. The
prophet might fight at or near Shendy,
but ifhe did it would be merely for the
purpose of tempting Wolseley on to farth-
er great tricks. On no account, however,
would Ell Mahdi fight a decisive battle
until the British forces were massed
in the vicinity of Khartoum. Gen. Cor
don, the project insisted, was already, at
the time of the conversation, virtually a
prisoner. His so-called defense of Khar-
toum was a mere form, as the Mahdi was
not engaged in any attack upon the town,
because it was practically in his power
and he could take it whenever he pleased.
The prophets plan was to allow Lord
Wolseley's army to approach Khartoum,
then enter the city and take possession
and fight Wolseley from that great point
of vantage. The project always insisted
that Gen. Gordon would not be killed by
I'll Mahdi. The clergyman says he re-
calls this almost prophetic discourse by
Arabi's project of police with clearness Of
revelation now especially that it had been
ascertained that the man when in London
was there as an emissary of FL Mahdi
The last thing the project said to the
clergyman was; Gen. Gordon will not
be killed.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-Gen. Wolseley tele-
graphs from Korti to the war Office this
afternoon that a courier arrived from
the British camp near Metemneh, who
reports that the rebels at Metemneh have
become defiant since hearing Of the fall of
Khartoum. The courier also says the
attack of Gubat may be looked for at any
moment, as the rebels expect reinforce
ments from Khartoum. Lord Wolseley
states he will remain quiet, pending
further orders from the government The
cabinet met this morning to consider
what course should be taken in regard to
the present Egyptian emergency. 1t
was decided to send telegraphic orders to
India for the dispatch of Indian troops
to Suakim, and meanwhile TO reinforce the
garrison at Suakim by drafts of troops
from England and the Mediterranean.
There is an unanimity of opinion in the
ministry in favor Of strong, active and
vigorous policy. The ministry will sanction
any demand of Lord Wolseley, which
will aid in the defeat Of Mahdi and will
secure the release Of Gen. Gordon, if
alive or wreak vengeance upon the Arabs
If slain. The telegraph line between
London and Korti is entirely occupied
with dispatches between the cabinet and
Lord Wolseley.

Charles Francis Adams jr., in reply to the in
quiry what he thinks of the railroad situation in
this country recently said: my opinion is that
there are great many roads-far too maryland
that none of them are making any money what
ever / doubt if the New York Central or Penn
sylvania, or any of those supposed best rail
ways is making any money, and think the Union
Pacific is no worse off than any of the rest"
Some months ago it was rumored that the
Pennsylvania railroad intended to throw freight
over the Philadelphia & Erie in order to enable
it to earn sufficient profits to become dividend
payer, and thus render the preferred stock, held
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, an
available collateral to sell or borrow money upon.
Since the present negotiations with Mr. Wander
bilt will secure the Beech Greek road it is fore
gone conclusion that the traffic from that road
which has heretofore been carried over the Cata-
wissa road, will hereafter be given to the Phila-
delpha 81 Erie. thereby largely increasing the
net profits of the latter road.

THE COLORED VOTE.
Reasons Why the Negroes Should Support
the Republican Party.

Indianapolis CoIored World.
Upon what issue shall they divide? Why
should the negro ignore all principles of justice
and honor, and support parties and measures
whose tonets and leaders have ever been, are
now, and from the outlook ever will be opposed
to our enjoyment of equal civil and political
rights? 1t has been under the guidance and
fostering care of the Republican party that the
transformation in the status of the negro during
the past twenty-five years has taken place. with
no small past of the credit accruing to the negro
himself 1t may not be all that we desired, but
from what party could we have gained
more9 All opposition to our citizenship to the
amendments guaranteeing our rights came from
without the Republican party, notably from the
Democratic party, and today this same organ
ization with whom some of our people, with
more advanced ideas are anxious ito divide"
are as bitterly opposed to the negro as ever. Is
it because we are no longer slaves Of any polit-
zeal party, and are freemen, that it is necessary
in order that we should establish or promulgate
the fact that we are free to the world and to
satisfy ourselves of the truth of the same, that
we should sacrifice principles, vote against
what we honestly believe to be right; sacrifice
our political ally, and try a cold experiment
which has not one single virtue to recommend
it, or promise that it has ever made to encourage
our people to lend it their aid and support
There are few individual instances of reward
bestowed upon colored men for services rendered
in their efforts at "division,' but like all con-
tracts of the kind obligation ceased when the
goods were delivered ''The Democratic party
never has and never will court the negro as an
ally" has been truly said by prominent mem
Der of that party eff we use him, will
do it; but his place is in the Republican ranks,
and he can be trusted nowhere else" 1t is our
duty to support that party whose principles are
nearest in accord with our own. Or, if we de-
sire to support the party that gives us the
Largest recognition" certainly it is the Repub-
lican party. Shall we divide just for tho sake
of experimenting Is there any issue upon which
we may differ among ourselves, honestly, that
our race may be benefited by the division? Until
better party than tho Republican presents
itself for our suffrages, we had better bear the
i'll Of which we complain, than to fly to another
known to be far worse.
