The Cabinet Ministers held an informal meeting
Tonight, but took no action. Nothing will be de-

The idea Of sending an English officer TO superin-
tend the Withdrawal of the sOudan garrisons and
the abandonment of that country to the wild tribes
led by Fl Mahdi, was first broached by Sir Evelyn
Barring in the fall of 1888. On December Of that
year the British Government proposed to employ
General Chinese" Gordon in Egypt in some
capacity not specified but Sir Evelyn objected
and the matter for time dropped. In
January, 1884, however, The Pail Nal Gazette pub
lished the report of long interview with Gordon
and Lord Granville day or two after again asked
Sir Evelyn Barring If the General conld not be
proftably employed in Egypt or the Soudan. Again
Sir Evelyn objected, but affairs assumed shortly
afterward so scroNs an aspect Mt Khartoum that it
appeared necessary to send some wel-eQuipped COM
mander thither at once SO sir Evelyn reluctantly
assented to Lord Granville's proposal. and on
January IS General Gordon set out for the capital
OF the Soudan.

Geueral Charles j. stone. formerly Chief Of stan
in the Egyptian army, said 10 TRIBUNE reporter
yesterday:
"Yes, the London dispatches make II certain that
Khartoum has fallen into the hands of the Mahd
and that General Gordon Is probably prisoner in
his hands This is in effect the failure OF the Brit
ish campaiQn in the Soudan. since the announced
object of that campaign was the relief Of General
Gordon and Colonel stewart. The success OF the
Mahdi In capturing the capital of the Soudan
renders impossible the attainment OF the
object since stewart Is dead and Gordon
a prisoner only 10 be rcoaScd by ransom.
Whether another campaign may be initiated or Hot
now becomes a question, as well rs whether or not
the British will or can successfully retire. lhe
Mahdi by the capture Of Khartoum, becomes mas
fer of the great strategic point of the Egyptian
Soudau and enormously increases his military sup
nile, in cannon, arms aud warlike machinery. IAe
marine arsenal and the military arsenal of the Sou
dan are also now at his disposal with the means OF
repairing and building boats, making gunpowdcr,
filling cartridges. etc. Much more than TINS, even
his success will cause him to be recognized and
feared az FL Mahdi, and the Mussulmans OF the
whole Soudan are likely to admit his claims and
believe that in fighting against him they would be
hghtng against the will Of God and therefore
fighting hopelessly.

THE nomination OF General P. NJ. b. Young OF
Georgia, to be Consul General OF the United States
at ST. Petersburg Is one that deserves some especial
notice. Since bis ofclal term begun the President
has made no appointment that is more eminenty
lifting than this, for General Young represents the
best social element and ability OF the South in the
highest degree. Just as he was finishing his course
OF study at the United States Military Academy at
West Point the war commenced between the States
AT a time when young men are usually deciding
what their avocaions In life shall be General Young
was commanding crack brigade OF cavalry, and
when he was promoted to the grade Of general Of
division he was the youngest ofiicer OF his rank in
General Lees army. Ills promotion was made on
the same day as that Of Senator NJ. C. Butler, Of
South Carolina, and General I. l.. Rosser, OF viz
ginia, and all were for especial and conspicuous
"gallantry In action.'D General Youngs subse-
quent career in Congress- where he represented his
district in four terms made him as well known to
the people OF the North he those OF his own
section, and the ability with which he discharged

THE blame for the murder OF little Miss Bunyea,
run over and Killed by car on the F-street tram
way, Is largely mlsapplied 10 the published CON-
ment. II is not likely that the unfortunate driver,
though he may not have used all the possible care
which even his multiplied duties permitted, meant
TO be crmnally negligent, and the remorse which
he must feel, IL he have any feelings, will be his
punishment The whole weight OF censure ought
TO fall without the slightest division upon the
wealthy corporation which sends its bob-iail cars
through the most freouensed streets with only one
man to perform alllhc complicated services required
and who must have his eyes turned away from the
track ahead more than half the time. Every accl-
dent that occurs from this rests directly upon
the shoulders Of the company, AMI It is fortunate
that We have jures that will doubtless give damages
heavy enough TO pay the hire OF conductors on all
the bob.tail cars for many day. The case should

As to the effect of our complicated system
there are conflicting opinions. 1t is true
that it is system sui 9eneris; that it is un-
necessarily complicated and by no means
the work of financial scientists. It is the
growth of circumstance and necessity, but
just now it is working smoothly The
stability Of our mixed currency is secured
by the Government, and with prudent legis-
lation we need never fear a monetary panic
arising out of the present system. The i'm
minent danger of the expulsion of gold from
the country by silver is the bugbear chiefly
relied upon to arrest the coinage of silver, or
TO increase the weight of the silver dollar.
The facts do not bear out this theory. On
the contrary, gold has been flowing into the
country from abroad every since the present
silver policy was adopted. live had free
mintage of silver, perhaps the disastrous re-
suits anticipated by the mono -metallists
might occur. But SO long as the coinage Of
silver is restricted to the needs of the country
the flow Of gold, which is our real standard
or monetary measure. will not be effected by
our currency system. The flow of gold is
determined by the balance of trade. When
IT is in our favor the current o. gold sets this
way, when against us We must pay up in
gold or securities; and this even if we had
never printed greenback nor coined silver
dollar.

In its social and political ostracsm OF the Jews
Austria lags but little behind the countries OF
Western Europe 1t was not until 1888 that Jew
received knighihood at the hands OF an English
sovereign, and that alone by reason Of his ONCE of
Sheriff OF London, on the occasion Of Queen Victoria
visit to London on Lord Mayors day. After serious
opposition by the House OF Lords, in which the
Bishops and High Churchmen were conspicuous.
Baron Rothschild, jew, was admitted TO a seat In
the House OF Commons. This swas not done, however,
until the year 1885, For centuries the jews had
been treated as aliens. In the "goOd old times'
royalty borrowed their money, or ordered the ex.
traction OF their teeth, when they refused 10 lend.
And yet the English jews had been patient, intel.
ligent, and law-abidng people, distinguished for
commercial honor and noted for their purity OF lfe
AS Dlsrael truly said, ga Jew was never seen upon
"the scaifold unless It be at an auto de fe." For
years the two most dshonored races In Europe were
the Attic and the Hebrew, and they were the two
traces that had done the most for mankind" II
the Kelley episode does nothing than call the
attention OF thinking people TO the absurdy OF race
and religious prejudice, II will have accomplished
much. The Austrian Embassy should remain vacant
at least long enough TO convince the world that q
JewishAmercan citizen is held In as nigh esteem In
this country an him OF any other faith or race.
