The Latest Report Concerning the
Next Presidents Cabinet.
No Positions to be rendered for
Four or Five Weeks Yet.
Proposed Barriers Against Europe's
Pauper Hordes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Since the meeting
Of the electors, President-elect Harrison has
accomplished something in the way Of for
mulating ideas as to the makeup of his
Cabinet He has come to the conclusion
that 1t would be unwise to take any man from
the Senate, and points to the fact that Presi-
dent Cleveland, in calling three Senators to
Cabinet portfolios, weakened his party rep
resentation in the upper House of Congress
to such an extent that he has labored under
great disadvantages from the very outset of
his administration to the present time Pres
ident Harrison does not want to give the
treasury portfolio to New York, and IL he
were inclined to tender a position in his
Cabinet to his own State, 1t would be the
treasury to Col. John z. New. who has CIV
poets nor desires Cabinet place.
If New York's demands and e0mplica-
tions were settled the Cabinet could be filled
within "a hours. No man has, however, been
selected, or given the lightest intimatlon
that he will be offered a ss.co IN the Cabinet
There are to be no positions in the Cabinet
rendered under four or five weeks, and then
they will all be extended to the men desired
at one time. Mr.. Blaine will be one Of the
chosen few There can now be no doubt
Of that, barring accidents and unnatural
changes. Mr.. Wanamaker Is another who
will have a position rendered him. just
at this time neither Mr.. Platt nor Mr.. Miller
is on the slate, and unless there is a consoli-
dation on one or the other neither will be
chosen.

was laying too, and the crew were taking In
sail. Peter A. Carlson OF Gloucester. an
unmarried Swede, about 80 years Of age,
was out on the bowsprit, when the foot rope
broke letting him fall into the sea. We
heard his cry for help, but could not see him
1t being so dark. A dory with two men In II
was sent out, but they could not find him.
We never heard or saw him afterwards. The
men who went out In the dory came very
near being lost on account Of the darkness.
After that we were struck by cyclone,
and never since was fisherman have l
experienced so severe gale"

two days this trip, and she took in the vicin-
ity Of $4,000 pounds Of halibut.

HOW GORDON MET HIS DEATH.
The Story TeId by a Greek from
khartoum.

LONDON, Jan. 2O.-The mail from Suakim
brings dispatches from Gen. Grenfell, among
which is the latest, and this time an abso-
lutely authentic account of the last hours of
General Gordon, the hero Of Khartoum,
whose lonely tomb in the centre of the Sou
dan is now venerated even by the Mahdists
as that Of saint. The account, which has
been eollated with various documents and
reports. and officially declared to be true, is
furnished by Demetrio Georgia. a
Greek, who recently arrived at
Suakim from Khartoum. Georgia
was born at Berber, and was present at the
capture and sack Of Khartoum. Here is his
story of the manner in which Gordon mst
his death:
II had three friends, Greeks. l hastened
to rescue them. had two Mahdist uniforms
given me by an Arab friend. One l gave to
one friend, putting ON the other myself. 1t
was nearing daybreak when 1 took my
friends to my house. Some Arabs rushed in
telling me I ought to go to the government
house-the seraglio, they called it-at once. 1
asked why. They replied. 'All the great Of
6cers of the Mahdi have gone there to kin

when they saw that the third friend had
no Mahdist garment ON they slew him.
I'VE were then taken into the courtyard

balcony overlooking the river. We had en-
tered the yard where the sycamore tree is.
Georgia Demetrio, the principal medical Off
Ger of the Soudan and the provinces, and

to taken Gordon alive, stood at the foot of

time. Go in at the little door and take the

"'Shall fly and leave my post ?'lGordon
replied Indignantly. That, indeed, would
be disgrace. shall not fly
HE then went into his inner room and
1onned his full uniform and sword. Then
ne came out and grandly drew himself up to
lis full height On his yisage was aslook of

You want him him, do you? am he.
Come up hither, Gordon replied.
"On being again urged by Demetrio and
The Greek consul to fly, Gordon replied: For
shame! Would you have me abandon, my

'As Gordon stood boldly facing the der
wishes several superior Mahdist generals
came up. The dervishes allowed them to
pass. They ascended the stairs and asked
Tor the Pasha. Gordon met them saying:
1 am he.' and handed them his sword In
military fashion. intimating that he knew
they had taken the place and that coDse-
luently he surrendered according co the
lsages Of war. But Nassas, one of the gen.
erals, snatched hold of his sword, at the
same time in brutal and most cowardly
manner striking Gordon an unexpected blow
mad he thought he would not be treated in an
manner. He fell rolling down the
stairs. As he rolled another general speared
