distance of the Colonies.

LONDON, Feb. 13-The Conservative papers
chsrge the Government with suppressiug
General Gordon's diary and letters, in which
Gordon stated he hsd sent Colonel Stewart
away from Khartoum, in order TO save his
(Stewart's) life, intending himself to meet
death at khartoum, as he knew no help
could reach there in time to rescue him.
When Parliament assemblies, the production
of the dispatches of the Government in re-
gard to the Soudsn campaign will be de-
manded.
Harrington, Secretary of State for War
advises the acceptance of the offers from
Canada and New South Wales TO send troops
to the ScGdan, but the War Office author
tiles oppose the proposition. The question
will be referred to the Cabinet for decision.
Owing to the opposition TO the Duke of
Cambridge, the Commander in Chief, and
other officers, 1t is probable the ministers
will decide 70 inform Canada and New Juth
Wales that their assistance will not be
needed.

were sent back to the city Postoffice.
Promptly they went to the Senate Post
office. Shortly they resppesred at the city

The letters were picked up and the

Colonel Dudley's Prostitution of

EXTRA SESSION PROBABLE.
1t is Thought an Extra session is sure.

Special 10 the Sentinel
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-There has been a
good deal of talk to-day about an extra ses-
sion of Congress. An impression gets foot
hold every time an appropriation bill gets
backset in any way or there is ilibustering,
that an extra session is inevitable. a gen
tlemsn who is excellent authority upon
legislative matters approached your cor
respondent to day and said:
There will be an extra session Of Con
gress as sure ss you are foot high. have
been here 8 good many years dabbling 10

ter OF business with me. have interviewed
ell Of the men who are on the inside of the
House affairs aud tell you there will be an
extra session.
why" said I, "Mr. Randall, who con-
trolls the appropriations, said a few minutes
sgo that he would have every appropriation
bill through both houses inside of two
weeks"
LET me give you pointer" said my wise
friend: "Mr. Randall wants an extra session
of Congress"
"But he would ruin himself with the in
coming President if he necessitated an extra
session.
'It doesn't make any difference what the
new President wants; Mr. Randall knows
he himself desires an extra session"
Later l saw Mr.. Randall again, and inti-
mated that it had been said thst he didn't
care il there was an extra session.
There will be no extra; that's all there is
about it," said Mr.. Randall, firmly.
Apparently there has been very little done
towards the completion of appropriations
during the past ten days, and one thing is
very sure: If the work progresses but twice
as rspidly henceforth as it has in the past,
an extra session is inevitable. The work
must move forward ten times as fast
There is a heavy outside pressure being
brought to bear for an extra session. The
people working for the Bankruptcy, Mexican
War Pension, and SchooI and other bills,
and the lobby that is booming the Nicara.
guam and Mexican treaties want an extra
session. The citizens here are laboring
for it. The men who are candidates for ef-
fee in the next House and quitsan element
of the membe elected for the first time de-
sire an extra session. With these influences
operating and the work being so far behind
an extra session of Congress will be a Diff
cult thing to avert.

Ammonia in Baking Powders.
Scientific american.

Among the recent discoveries in
selence'a and chemistry none Is More inn
pUrtant than the uses TO which common
ammonia can be properly put as a
leavening agent, and which indicate
that this familiar salt is hereafter to
perform an active part Ill the prepara-
uon of our daily food.
The carbonate of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place a
small portion of it upon a knife. and
hold over a flame, and 1t will almost
immediately be entirely developed into
gas and pass off into the air. The gas
thus formed is a simple composition OF
nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is
left from the ammonia. This gives 1t
Its superiority as a leavening powder
over soda and cream of tartar used
alone, and has induced its use as u
supplement- to these articles. A small
quantity OF ammonia in the dough is
effective in producing bread that will be
lighter. sweeter anu more wholesome
THAN that risen by any other leayening
agent. When il is acted.upon by the
heat of baking, the leavenlng gas that
raises the dough is liberated. In this
act it uses isself up, as it were; the
ammonia is entirely diffused. leaving no
trace or reSlduum whatever. The light,
fluffy. tlaky appearance 50 desirable III
biscuits, etc. and SO sought after by
professional cooks, is SAID to be iln-
parted to them only by the use OF this
agent. - en
The bakers and baking powder manu-
facturers producing the finest goods
have been quick TO avail themselves OF
this useful discovery, and the handsom-
est and best bread and cake are now
largely risen by the aid of ammonis,
combined of course with other leaven-
ing material.
Ammonia is one of t, e best known
products of the laboratory. Ii, as
seems to be justly claimed for it, the
of its. properties to the pur-
poses of cooking results in giving us
lighter and more wholesome bread, bis
cult and cake, it will prove Boon to
dyspeptic humanity, and will speedily
force itself into general nse in the new
field to which science has assigned it.
