NEWS SUMMARY.
A STARTLING RuMOR.
To the Effect that Gen. Gordon is Still
Alive


Alive.
james Gordon Bennett, the proprietor of
the New York Herald, has gone 10 Khar.
toum, the capt. Il of the Mahdi. He left
Paris three weeks ago, went 20 Marseilles,
then to Alexandria and this week is in
Cairo. Two stories have been cabled over
in explanation of this singular journey.
One is that one night at the club Mereton,
in Paris. an organization which resembles
the famous Eccentric Club Of Jules Verne
in the character of many of its members
an officer who is said TO have seen service
in the Egyptian army, said that IL was i'm
possible fer any foreigner 90 en- err Khar-
toum and depart alive. a discussion arose
in which were cited the many instances of
clever Europe MS who hai disgu sod them
selves and in this garh penetrated
the most intolerant and fanatic
cities Of the Moslem wcrld. II eliminated
when Bennett, who was taking an active
part in the conversation, declared that any
one possessing sufficient brains and money
could visit tho Mahdi and return unsca he d
and offering heavy wager that he could
himself do il within the period of six
months. The bet was promptly accepted
and Bennett, accompanied by an II innate
friend, started forth on his hazardous
journey.
The other story is far more startling.
On the evening IN question at the cub
mentioned Bennettreceived long di patch
from Cairo correspondent stating that he
had just received visit from an envoy Of
the Mahdi with important news regarding
Chinese Gordon, and that tho latter was
still alive and kept close prisoner; that
the new Mahdi, by reason of his reverse on
Kordofan and the Bahr ell Ghazel and his
loss of the great province of Dardfur, was
willing TO ransom Gordon for 1000, 900
francs. The next few days Bennett made
all the arrangements for the trip and for
the payment OF the vast sum mentioned
and with an intimate friend set out for
Egypt.

Look Out for the Teeth.

II has often occurred to us that bacteri-
illogical investigation might trace disease
more frequently than is yet suspected to
the neglected and decayed condition OF the
teeth We remember the death, not long
ago. Of "a well known physician of New
York city from blood poisoning caused by
an liberated tooth, or by liberation follow
ing extraction.
DR.. Goodman. in the Philadelphia Nedi-
cal Times, relates "A case in which patient
suffered with persistent he rdache, irreg-
ular chills, fetid breath and fever which
resisted treatment The man teeth vre re
bad, and the doctor sent him TO the deatist
He returned cured.

MlNNEAroLIs, July 25.-The options
ON the Pillsbury and Washburn mills,
given ten days ago to an English syndi-
cate, which seeks to control the flour
mills Of the state, expires tonight. Al
though the owners of the property and
the representatives Of the English capi-
'talists have had several conferences, it
cannot yet be definitely stated whether
the terms of sale willebe accepted. The
general impression however, is that the
options will be taken advantage Of and
that the deal will be consummated. The
scheme. in brief, is this: The property
in question, including mills with daily
capacity of $4,000 barrels, or. two thirds
of Minneapolis, total capacity. is to be
capitalized at $10,0oO,O0O. A controlling
interest in this amalgamated organization
in the form Of either stocks or bonds, is
to be held by the English syndicate.
Chas. A. Pillsbury Is to he retained as
manager, perhaps of the entire business,
certainly of the Pillsbury mills. The fl
nancial negotiations it is understood have
been conducted by the well known east
ern bankers, Drexel, Morgan & Co. If
the purchase is effected and the bond
scheme adopted, it will result in the loan
ing of money at low rate Of interest
probably four per cent, where it now
costs the interest firms or per cent tc
borrow. OF the $1O,00O,O00, it is said
that $3.OOO,O00 represents J. J. Hills in
terest in the water power.

A Big House in Trouble.

NEW YORK, July 25.-The announce
ment that the notes of the heavy dry
goods firm of Lewis Bros, g. Co. had gone
to protest was all absorbing in mercan-
tile circles today. According to report
the liabilities of the firm amount to near
ly $4,O00,0OO. A reporter who visited the
firms store today, found the manager and
employees on hand as usual and appar-
entity as busy as bees. "Has the firm
made IN assignment" Was asked of
the man in command.
"Not yet" was the reply.
"Do you think the house will be tided
over the difficulty?"
"Yes, but the members are not here
and cannot speak authoritively."
The absence of the proprietors from
the place during the forenoon gave rise
to the supposition that they were endeav-
oring to make arrangements to take up
the protested notes. 1t is understood
that if the firm could be given little
time they would be able to pay in full
and continue in business.

The Metal markets,

brddStTttl,
The taking Of steel rail orders at SET
was q surprise 10 some eastern mAkeFt
who have been endeayoring TO strength
en- prices TO the S2s limit. There are in
quiries for several large lots, but from
present appearances one or two mills
will monopoliZe the bulk Of the bus
iuess, Very few rail orders are being
placed by western and Northwestern
railroad companies, and according to
very best adyices available from that
quarter, very little business will come
from there. Southern roads are inquir-
ing for rails in large and small lots, and
there are two or three inquiries from
the southwest which will probably re-
suit in considerable business, Small
lots are quoted at SCI 80 to $2S. Heavy
orders are being placed for plate, tank
and structural iron, and there Is better
business for merchant bar, sheets and
merchant steel, particularly In markets
west OF the mountains. Barbed wire is In
very ctiyedemand, ailsaredull mall
markets. The situation Of the crude Iron
market Is not very easily defined, Heavy
deliveries continue TO BIZ made by South
ern furnaces, Slight reductions continue
to be made in Eastern Ohio and Vest
ern Pennsylvania, In Ohio river mar.
kets very little new business has been
booked, Consumers generally are pro-
yiding for from thirty to sixty days re-
Quirements both East and West, There
ian indispositlon to purchase In spec
ulative way. The reorganization OF the
western steel companies will result In
the early disposition Of considerable
business for steel railsin the West, With
all the dullness In the crude iron market
the volume Of business this year Is suill'
clent TO absorb the production Of nearly
all furnaces blowing. Makers cling to
the belief that the anticipated early pre-
Of heavy summer and fall re'
quirements will materially assist them in
quotations. Buyers Of excep-
tionally large lots have been offered In.
wiling concessions, but have not as yet
ayailed themselves OF them.
