He is Reported to be on His Way to the
Hostile Camp Of the Mahdi.
NEW YORK, May 17.-It is stated. to-
night, that New York newspaperdom and
the clubs are greatly excited over 8 report
from Europe that James Gordon Bennett,
proprietor OF the New York Herald" has
gone to Khartoum, the capital of the NAH
dis territory. Mr.. Bennett left Paris
three weeks ago, went to Marseilles, then
to Alexandra, and this week is in Cairo.
Two stories have been cabled over in ex'
planstioa OF this singular journey. one Is
that at the Parisian club one night dis-
cussion arose during which an English army
officer said it was impossible for any
foreigner to enter Khartoum and depart
alive. Bennett declared any one possess
ing sufficient brains and money could visit
the Mahdi aHd return unscathed. be
offered a heavy wager that he himself would
do it within q period OF six months. The
bet was promptly accepted, and Bennett,
accompanied by an intimate friend, started
forth upon his hazardous journey.
The other story is more startling. !t liz
to the effect that on the eevening in question
at the club Bennett received q letter from q
correspondent at Cairo, stating he had ad-
vices that General Gordon was still alive
and kept prisoner, and that the Mahdi,
by reason OF his reverses during the past
year, was willing to have Gordon ransomed
for million francs. Within the next four
days Bennett made all arrangements for the
trip and for the payments for the ransom
and set out for Europe. But little can be
heard in New York in confirmation OF the
story.
One OF the editors OF the "Herald" eays
they have received q cablegram from Mr..
Bennett at Cairo, but that nothing is
known about his prospective movements.

CINCINNATI, May 1s.-Judge Ernstein OF

OF arrests made last year for violation OF

he would not have done so if he had not re.

would cause arrests tomorrow in case
there were violations.
The mayor, upon being notified OF the
action OF the judge, expressed surprise, and
spoke OF it as q reflection on his officers.
He declared he would not now order police
to make arrests, and added that il the citi-
zens asked to have arrests made they
would have to accompany the police into
the saloons, and also go to courtand make
the charges.
The mayor has received written notice
from the attorney OF the law and order

COPPER ABROAD.
What q Liverpool Authority ON the Ques-
tion Has to Say.

What q Liverpool Authority on the Ques
tion Has to Say.
James Lewis & Son, Liverpool, in theiI
monthly report on ores and metals Of May
!. have tha following ON copper:
During the past month q considerable
quantity of copper-estimated at 10000
tons-has been sold by banking companies
who had advanced money against war
rants, thus enabling consumers and deal
ers to supply their immediate needs. Sales
have also been made OF the copper falling
due to the societe des Metaux, and NOT
taken up by them. The Tharsis and Rio
Tinto companies are also selling their
tough and best selected copper.
The prices realized have varied from f36
los. to f42 los. for good merchantable
cash copper, rising to the higher figure on
the 4th ultimo, and falling to the lower on
the 18th (when up to 43S It's. Sd. was
paid for three months), reacting to f2S OH
the 26th, but closing ut S37 los. to f37
lbs. Cd. for cash, and f37 los. to E3S for
three menths prompt.
The negotiations between the chief hold
ers of the stock and the larger producers
to sustain the value OF copper at f45 per
ton for period Of four years, with annual
sales by the former Of 25 per cent. of their
stock, and q diminution Of IS per cent.
per annum by the latter OF their produc-
tien, SO far appear to have had no result;
and in view OF the strong antagonism ex-
listing between some Of the producing
companies, no satisfactory agreement
10 now likely to be made. The
opinion is gaining ground that in the long
run it will be better for producers il copper
is allowed to find its natural level, as fixed
by the ordinary economic laws Of supply
and demand, without artificial support.
No doubt this will seriously affect the
profits and dividends OF the producing com.
panies for time, bnt ultimately those that
can withstand low prices for twelve or
eighteen months will probably benefit from
this course. The experience gained from
the late attempt to bolster up values does
not encourage repetition Of the attempt.
With high exchange, dear labor and coal,
Chile will be the greater sufferer re.
ceiving the greatest benefit from the opera
tions Of the societe des Metaux."

WAsHNaroN, May 2O.-The opinion of
the United States supreme court in the case
OF the United States vs. John D. Hall was
to-day the subject Of earnest discussion
among officials Of the general land Office.
One Of the points at issue was that Hall
had made oath before q notary public.
The supreme court decided that where an
oath is required by the United States stat
utes, the oath can be administered only by
an officer Of the United States, hence q
notary public being q state officer, cannot
administer an oath to United States ofii-
cials except the statutes specifically state
that the oath may be made before such Q
state official. This opinion, it is believed,
seriously affects the status OF more than
