THE GOEsDON MEMORIAL.
The Gordon Memorial Committee met
at the Mansion House to-day. The Prince
of Wales presided. Among the members
present were the Duke OF Edinburgh.
Duke Of Cambridge, COmmander-in-C hief
of Her Majesty's forces, and Earl Gran
vile, British Minister for Foreign Affairs
The object of the meeting was to
decide upon the form which the
Gordon memorial should take. The
general meeting which appointed the
committee had decided that in no event
should the memorial be a statue of any
kind. The committee to-day decided that
the memorial should be a great hospital
and sanitaTium, to be erected at Port
Said. and to be open to the people of all
the nations of the earth. The Khedive
has already granted a site for the
proposed memorial. While. the Duke
of Edinburgh was proceeding to the
meeting one of the horses attached
to his carriage fell, and kicking out
wildly, damaged the vehicle so that it
could not be further used until repairs
were made. The Duke escaped unhurt,
and walked the remainder of the distance
to the Mansion House.
ZOBEHR PASHA A TRAITOR.
An Alexandria dispatch says that Zobehr
Pasha, whom Gen. Gordon so trusted and
wished made Governor of KnartOum. has
been arrested under a charge of being i'm
plicated in reasonable conspiracies
AGAINST the anthOpitV n tho Il hodfVo ic
residence was searched after his arrest
and in it were found many documents
proving that ZObehr was in secret league
with Ell Mahdi. The prisoner has been
placed in confinement aboard a British
frigate.
Advices have been received from Kas-
sala showing that the garrison there was
still holding out on March |.
ZEBEHR PASHA's PAST LIFE.
Zebehr Pasha will be interned on the
island of Cyprus. He has been under
surveillance, which practically made him
prisoner, for the past two years. His
wealth, which was mainly acquired in
the slave trade, was cOutiscated, and he
was allowed a quarterly stipend ON con-
dtion that he should not leave Alexandria
without the consent Of the Khediye. Gen.
Gordon pleaded that Zebehr should
be restored to power in the Soudan,
anu eau ludG INC eA-eIdFe hIuG
was the only man who had
enough nerve and prestige to keep the
Arabs in subsection. Gen. Gordon had
encountered Zebehr during his former
service in Egypt, and had incidentally
hanged one of Zebehr's sons. v no had
been left as a hostage, ard whose life had
become forfeited by an act Of treacheTy
on Ztbehr's part. When Gen. Gordon
was sent to khartOum last year both he
and Zebehr agreed to ignore the past. and
it was another of Zebehr's sons who
escorted Gen. Gordon across the
desert from KorOsko to Abuhamed.
Without this escort it is certain
that Gen. Gordon would never have gone
to Khartoum. Now, it has been discOv-
cred by the British Government that Zeb-
chr Pasha has been in continual cores
pondence with L! Mahdi both before and
since the capture OF khartOum and the
killing of Gen. Gordon. Several persons
are about to be arrested, including some
prominent nOtables.
MISSION TO KING JOHN.

sion to King John of Ahyssinia.
