York's place in the Cabinet and Mr.. Man
nlng's reluctance to take the Treasury de-
partment.
AHugwump's Estimate of Manning.s
BosToN, Feb. 1S.-The Transcript, which
represents the mugwump sentiment of New
England, says editorially this evening:
'Those who know Mr.. Daniel Manning well
and are familiar with his record regard him
as man of very ordinary ability, though
shrewd enough to keep his mouth shut and to
follow the advice of the leading spirits of the
little band that revo1ves around Tilden
Upon the insignificant fact that he is presi-
dent Of an Albany bank, his admirers seem
to rest their claim that he is a man of sound,
conservative business principles and of good
executive ability as fnancier. This esti-
mate is overdrawn and misleading. As
matter of Fact Manning has few or none of
the qualities the new Secretary of the Treas
ury ought to have. To the world at large
his name is the synonym for Democratic
machine politics in New York, and this
popular impression is pretty true index to
the character of the man. If, in the hope of
Keeping New York State Democratic Mr..
Cleveland places the vast patronage of the
Treasury department in the hands of poll
tician like Mr.. Manning, he will lose the ap-
proval OF the great body of shifting voters
VINO hold the balance of power in the "pivo-
tal' State The Republican politicians are
eager to see Mr.. Cleveland commit this blum
der at the beginning of his term of Office
For the sake of the business world which has
great interests at stake it is to be hoped they
will be disappointed"

in the offices and billiard room was saved
Great excitement was created by the ex-
plosion of some dynamite cartridges dur
ing the progress of the fire. How they got
into the place is not known. The fremen
played four streams of water from the n.y.

The sixteen young ladies who recently
gave fan drill at the Dwight street rink re-
peated their exhibition last night at the Lin
coin rink before a very large audience. The
exhibition was even better than that of last
week, the marching and wheeling being per
feet. The little ladies looked beautiful as
they marched down the rink, platoon front,
attired in the emblematic costume of liberty
and with their red and blue fans spread
wide The young ladies were obliged to ap-
pear the second time to satisfy the spectators.
At the conclusion of the drill Major Lincoln
announced that there would be an exhibition
in fancy skating by two young masters from
Washington. At the sound OF the gong they
appeared and gave very fine exhibition
After they had retired Mr.. Lincoln an
nounced, much to the surprise of the speeta-
TORS that the skaters were none other than
Miss Nettie Perkins and Miss Lille Sellew.
Last night the middle classes of the Medi-
cal and Theological schools and the junior

evening the junior classes of the Medical,
Theological and Law schools and the fresh
men of the Scientific school have been invit-
ed to be present at the same rink.

NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.
The Chances of the DOrsheimer silver
Bill.

Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-A representative
of the United Press to-day asked Chairman
Bland of the House Committee on Coinage
Weights and Measures if he thought action
would be taken by the committee upon the
Dorsheimer silver bill before the session
closed. ooh! no, !" he promptly replied. Gin
the first place we cannot get the committee
together, and in the second place we would
not try to take action if We could, because it
is so late it would be impossible to secure
consideration in the House"
''Do you think majority of the commit
tee favor the bill2" was asked. ''No I do not. :"
"Why do the friends of the bill want it
passeda' 81 cannot say. If they have any
good reasons for its adoption they do not
give them to the committee. Altogether
think the bill and the remarks which have
been submitted upon it will only serve as
history for future Congresses"

HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. 19.-At to-day's
meeting of the pardon board several impor-
tant cases were heard. The case OF Goerson,
the Philadelphia wife murderer, came up on
an application for a rehearing. The ground
for this was alleged confession of Sadie
Souders, an important witness at the trial.
The district attorney of Philadelphia opposed
the application on the ground that the al
legged confession was the result of a conspira-
cy. Miss Souders was present and main
tanned that her first testimony was true. The
board refused the application, thus finally
ending case which has been in the courts
about five years. Goerson will be hanged on

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb.: 18.-Memphis was
again the scene of q steamboat confagration
this evening, the result being the total de-
structien of the Ida Darragh of the Memphis
and Arkansas City River Packet company,
the City of Helena of the st. Louis and
Vicksburg anchor line company and anchor
line wharf boat, together with all the freight
ON the steamers and wharf boat. The fire
originated in the cotton on the larboard
guard of the Ida Darragh, which had just ar
rived from the Arkansas river and strong
wind blowing bafaed the efforts to
extinguish the flames. The alarm was
sounded and soon all the harbor
tugs and the fire brigade were on
hand, but the flames gained such Roadway
that it was impossible to check them
and the fire became SO intensely hot
as to prevent near approach to
the burning boat to pull it away from the
wharf boat The wharf boat soon caught
and burned rapidly, from which the flames
then communicated to the City of Helena.
The boats were all burned to the waters
edge. The losses will aggregate $3.50, 900,
partially insured. No lives were lost.

So General Butler POstpOnes His
Attack On Metemneh.
KoRTI, Feb. 18.-General Sir Redvers
Butler, who was expected to attack Meiemneh
on Sunday last, sends word that the rebels
appeared in such force as to make the result
of an attack doubtful and in the absence of
positive orders to move upon the town he
considered it advisable to retire from his
somewhat exposed position and await rein
forcements. He therefore abandoned Gubat
and retreated as far as the Abu-Klea wells.
The movement was conducted SO promptly
and unexpectedly that the Arabs did not
notice it until several hours after the march
had begun and the column was not molested.
He intends to further retire as far as Gakdul
and there wait for orders. 1t is now be-
lieved that he will be instructed to continue
his retrogade movement to Korti and that
no further movement in advance will be
made until the remaining regiments
of the expedition have arrived at
this place. General Butler reports
that Ell Mahdi with nine thousand men was
within twenty miles of that place when the
English began their retreat. An advance
within nine miles of Gubat. They were well
armed and carried five field pieces
CAIRO, Feb. 18.-Colonel Denison of the

KoRT1, Feb. 18.-Lord Charles Beresford
left Gubat with General Bnller's troops. In
abandoning the steamers he displaced the
machinery so to prevent the rebels from
using them. If FL Mahdi does not burn the
boats. it is expected that the English will
find them available when they return to the
Nile.
