capital of $560,000. The business
which yielded this dividend amount-,

KHARTOUM.
No farther InformationOpinions ot
' The British Press. ' . ; .
London, -Feb. . 6. The morning
papers contain no further in forma
tion relative to the fall cf Khartoum.!
Nothing seemed to be known at Cairo
except the news telegraphed there
from London.
The Times in a leading: editorial on
the subject says: "The shock the
news of the fall of Khartoum caused
has no parallel in the experience of
the present generation."
The Daily News says: "Seldom in
the memory of living man has news
been received or such- disaster to
England. The cry of 'too late' against
the government is 'unjustified. '
- The News thinks that Col. Wilson's
steamers'might.have arrived at Khar
toum earlier than they did. It- feels
convinced that the national calamity
"will not be utilized in the furtherance
of party feeling.
The Daily Telegraph says: "The
situation is one or grave, complicated
difficulty. It is right that all should
wait for a decision of the ministry
upon whose shoulders the responsi
bility rests and who must possess the
most complete military information.
Nothing can be ' gained by .wild
reproaches for bygone delays, j -The
Mahdi must be crushed. JThe
" government Jias a misfortune to
repair, bufeit is no disgrace to lament.
All now needed is that the statesmen
rise to the heroic level of our soldiers."
London, Feb. 6. All military
advices from Cairo counsel, an
immediate despatch of the British
force in lower Egypt for the capture
of Berber and the sending -of not less
than fifteen thousand reinforcements
from Eng'and or India to Suakim to
ensure the retreat of the other troops
or the chastisement of the Mahdi's
Arabs, whichever shall be decided
upon. V -'
; . London, Feb. 6. The council today
lasted three and a hair hours. It is
understood that it was decided to give
Wolsely & carte blanche to tafce any
measure he deems necessary for the
rescue of Gordon if alive and make
use of such military operations as he
considers advisable to regain the
ground lost by the fall of Khartoum,
- Amoner the alternativesltsuagested to
WolseTey are the immediate recapture
of Khartoum and the. employment, if
necessary, of Indian troops to leopen

CLEVELAND IN NEW YORK.
tSoulhe:n VisitorsBooming for Cabi
net Appointment o.
New York, Feb. 6. A gentleman
who was prominently connected with
the Democratic National ' committee
during the recent campaign told a re
Dorter todav he had e-odd reason to
believe Cleveland had made up his
mind to invite Senator Jonas of Lcru
isiana to a seat in his cabinet, proba
bly as postmaster general and he
proceeded to give his reasons : .
He claimed to know that the Demo
cratic National Committee had urged
Jonas' name., that his other backing
was most formidable, - and Cleveland
was well disposed towards Jonas, in-
- dependent of these powerful efforts..
a tnrong or prominent democrats
called upon Cleveland today. The
interest was heightened when it was
known that Senator Vance, of North
Carolina, was closeted with the Presi
dent. He was accompanied by Gen.
Clingman and Congressman Skinner.
Their conference lasted only long
enough for the Senator to present the
name of ex-Gov. Jarvis, whom they
desire to be appointed a member of.
the cabinet. The Postmaster General
ship would be most acceptable to Mr.
Jarvis. - .'.''
Among the others from the South
were Col. John N. Staples, of N. CI,
Senator Colquitt and a delegation of
five from Georgia, H. G. Turner, J.
C. Nichol, C. B. Russ, T. Hardeman
and J. C. Clements. The committee
was reinforced by Senator Colquitt,
who urged the claim of A.. R. - Law
ton, of Savannah, Ga., for PostmasN
er-General. :
Tomorrow afternoon Cleveland
will return to Albany and will apply
himself to the preparation of his in

A KENTUCKY SENSATION.
A Syslemized Plan ot Public Plunder
V "Discovered.,- ;
Chicago, Feb. 6 A Tribune special
from Frankfort, Ky., says: Super'
ficial investigation of the records of
the State of Kentucky shows beyond
question that a system of robbery has
been carried on for fifteen years pat
which rivals anything ever heard of.
At the same time it has been con
ducted under cover of law. It is evi
dent that the amount stolen will not
fall far short of $2,000,000. It is not
easy to get at the details by which
the plunderers secured the spoils, but
a simple set of figures readily estab-;
lishes the ' fact that a deficit of that
magnitude exists. A Btudy of the
books shows that in the department
of criminal prosocutions the steal
has reached at least a million in ten
years. : In the cost of keeping idiots
during the same time there has been
a steal of $500,000, while in the other
expenditures, which have not been
examined closely, there are indica -'
tions of other crookedness, which
may add $500,000 more to the rob-
: bery. It is believed that in most
- cases the money can be trace! to
. county and district rings, which have
been abetted by the Legislature.

Washington, Feb. 6. Senate.
In galls, according to notice given
yesterday, moved an amendment to
the Senate rule that prohibits general
legislation on appropriation bills, tha
amendment being to permit such leg
lslation only as may be germane or
relevant to the subject matter of a
bill. "-: --- v--v '
After a long debate Ingalls' amend
ment was referred to the committee
on rules. The debate was partici
pated in by Ingalls, Hale, Beck, Bay
ard, flaw, Dawes, Hoar, Aiiison,
Haw lev. Uockrell and Lapham.
In the course of his remarks jock-
reli alluded .. to newepaper reports to
the effect that 1 $2,500 had been paid
lo one eminent attorney m wasning-
ton, and $1,000 to another to get cer
tain pension legislation through tjon-
gress. The legislation naa Deen
secured but Cockrell said he intended
no reflection on the conference com
mittee that was primarily responsible
for having the legislation passed, as
he (Cockrell) believed ..he committee
acted on its sense of duty with the
best information its members could
eet. : ' -,
Hawiey said a Dili could ds passea
in half an hour repealing such, legis
lation. " , - .
Thereupon Jackson called up a bill
already on the calendar relating to
the fees of pension claim agents and
attorneys
The bill was taken, up but Palmer
asked and received consent to lay. it
temporarily aside to allow of his de
livering some remarks on the woman
suffrage constitutional amendment.
The decision to take up the pension
agents bill also temporarily postpones
the anti silver coinage bill.
Palmer - spoke at considerable
length upon the question of woman
suffrage upon its merits. He con'
eluded by expressing the conviction
that not only was it right to desire
and expedient that woman, should
vote but that the dangerous politica
conditions which were perhaps about
to confront us rendered it our duty
for the safety of the nation no longer
to deny to our political lite the
strength to be derived from the
conscience and moral worth of wo
man. .'.
A resolution was agreed toprovid
ing that the sessions of the Senate
begin at 11 a. m. on and after Monday
next. -. ;;: -. . . . - ' '
A bill to regulate the fees of pension
agents and attorneys was then taken
In the course of the ' debate Beck
said he thought that under the
extraordinary ; circumstances : by
which the passage of the law of 1884
was securea.parties claiming rees un
der it should be required to go into
court and show a good case. ' In 1884
pension agents wanted fees increased
but both houses declined to increase
them, yet in the conference commit-
mittee the fees were increased.
Allison said it was due to the
conference committee to say that he
(Allison) understood the matter the
pension commission and the secretary
ot the - interior recommended or
approved the legislation referred to
. Beck -.' said these officers had
no business to ' "recommend''
measures after" both houses of Con
gress had distinctly declined
to pass them when the conference
committee by that act opened up all
cases between 1878 and 1884, they
were taking out of , the pockets of
pensioners$3, 693,850 or 239,590 claims
then pending and if 138,723 cases that
had been rejected, but were still being
pressed should be restored (which
was not impossible) ! there would
be .a ; further sum which - that
bill would :; allow to Be squeezed
out of pensioners, amounting
to $2,080,000, making a total of
$5,674,694 of which pensioners were
robbed. The claim agents had agreed
to do the work for ten dollars a claim
and had in a great many instances
received the money. When they suc
ceeded, in' getting this provision
through the conference committee
many of them abandoned the cases
then pending, on which the ten dollar
fee had been paid ; had sold the good
will ot their Dusines8, and' the new
agents withheld the papers until the
applicants made new contracts to
cover the extra fifteen dollars allow
ed by the new law. , If the applicants
had not made those new contracts
they could not recover their papers,
therefore ail such contracts were
fraudulent and made under duress,
The committee on conference had no
right to yield to the recommendation
ot any body in the matter. Jackson
said that personally he would like to
break v all contracts : if Congress
had the power to disturb
those that had been honestly
entered into. : Allison thought he
might have been misunderstood, he
had not meant to say ' that the com
missiouer of pensions recommended
the legislation at the time, but he
knew that the commissioner had
since" stated he- would allow it to
stand. - After further discussion, par
ticipated in by Blair, Harrison, Call
and Piatt, the bill -was - passed with-,
out division. :
The consular and diplomatic ap
propriation bill was then called up
and passed: ' ' ,
; The conference report on the mili
tary academy appropriation bill was
called up and the Senate receded
from its amendments. The chair
laid before the Senate the anti-silver.
coinage bill, but without further ac
tion, the Seuate, at 5 p. m., went ih
to executive session, and when, at
5.15, the doors weia re opened, the
Senate adjourned, leaving that bill as
unfinished business for to-morrow.
House. When tho House met at
ten o'clock this morning in contmua
tion of yesterday's session, there
were not more than half a dozen
members present, and a further re
cess of ten minutes was taken. ;
After the recess tha House went
into committeo of the whole, Ham
mond in the chair, on the river and
harbor bill, the pending amendment
being that providing that no part of
the appropriation of $100,000 for im -proving
the national harbor of the
first class at Sandy Bay, Mass., shall
be expended until a new . board of
three engineers shall decide that that
point is -the best location on the coatt
for such purpose. Agreed to, but on
motion of Oates, of Ala., the entire
paragraph relating to this harbor
was stricken out. ;. -; f - .
Several .amendments were offered
and lost. V , v
McComas offered an amendment
that no money appropriated by this
act shall be expended except for such
works as the secretary of war under
direction of the President, shall de
termine and in no case shall the ex
penditure for any one purpose ex
ceed the sums designated , by this act
for that purpose,; .
Pending the action, Willis moved
that the committee rise and on a vi
va voce vote the chairman . decided
the ayes had it. H
The Speaker pro tern, Blackburn,
having ; taken the chair, Willis
moved that the House adjourn," and
the speaker also recognizing tne cans
for division, declared the motion car
ried. ; :V:: ":";-'' -; v; V: K -!:''7
The House was instantly called to

After reading the journal tne
House proceeded to the consideration
of business under the new rule.

was not of general interest. 2
The committee on public lands re
ported a bill to declare forfeited the
entire grantor lands m aia oi ine

The committee on naval affairs re
ported adversely a joint ' resolution
tendering the thanks of Congress to
commanders Schley and Coffin and
Lieut. Emory. Laid on the table.
Randall said that ne wan instruct
ed by the unanimous voice of the
committee on appropriations to ask
the chairman of the cbmmittee on
rivers and harbors when he expected
to reach the final vote upon the
measure under his charge. - . -
Willis replied that the committee
of the whole had been prosecuting
the consideration of. the bill as fast
as the rules would permit.
Randall said that if the bill was
considered today . and tomorrow it
would have occupied the entire.wees.
The House would not be free from
nublic criticism if the appropriation
bills were not all sent to the Senate
bv the 25th of the month. . To ac
complish this the committee on ap
propriations was of the opinion that
it should have the right of way after
Saturday night, and a serious effort
would be made to pass next week,
the post office, legislative and sundry
civil bills. " t
Hiscock. of Now York, thought
that if there was not to be an extra
session, the appropriation bills should
have the right of way now.
Private business having been dis
pensed with, the House, at 1:45 went
into committee of the whole. Ham
mond of Georgia, in the chair, on the
river and harbor bill, and the , pend
ing amendment offered this morning
by McComas, of Maryland, was re
iected. ,
; Considerable bad feeling was "crea
ted or developed during the further
consideration of the bill, and the lie
parliamentary was passed between
King, of Louisiana, and Hiscock, of
New York, and between Young, ot
TfinnesufiA and Willia of 'K'ftntiinv.
After a speech by Cox, of New
York, about the need of money tor
the improvement of New xorfc har
bor. King offered an amendment an
propriating fifteen million dollars for
the improvement of isandy hook
channel and advocated its adoption
as benefitting the commerce . of the
whole country. .
Hiscock said that he bad seen in
the public press a statement that be
was going to make an assault upon
the jetty system at New Orleans,
and denied that he ht.d t vor had such
intention.
, King "The allusion of the gentle
mau is directed against me."
"Hiscock "I beg the gentleman's
pardon. I say unqualifiedly . that it
was not directed against the gentle
man." : ' .
King "And I say unqualifiedly
(hat it was. X understood the gen'
tieman from New York himself to
state in private conversation that it
was his purpose to say on this floor
that the jetties had been of no com
mercial value to New Orleans s
Hiscock "I desire to contradict
the statement that I have ever ad
vertised that I had that purpose.
Just so far as I can go within the
rules of the House I desire to go, and
do go, in saying that I have never
said that I was going to do any such
thing.".. v;,.
King "And I state, so far as
may go within the rules of the house
that the statement is false.
After a speech from Hewitt, on the
condition of the harbor of New York,
&-ing s amendment was rejected.
Young, of Tenn . offered an amend
ment appropriating $75,000 for the
improvement of Memphis harbor,
He criticised what he termed "the
star chamber meetings" .of the com
mittee on rivers and harbors, and
expressed the surprise which he hud
felt when he. learned that Memphis
had been left out of the bill. He had
gone to every member of the com
mittee and the chairman was tha on
ly solitary one who did not disavow
responsibility for the action of the
committee.
Willis "The statement of the gen
tieman is not true."
Young "I stated that I . had con
suited every member of the commit
tee, and I state that : fact now. sir.
and every member disavowed any
responsibility for the committee's
action. The gentleman from Ken
tucky was the Only one I talked to
who did not disavow responsibility
for it." " .
Young proceeded to advocate his
amendment after which Willis said
that the committee had concluded not
to make any special appropriations for
the harbors on the Mississippi river.
There was a commission to which was
entrusted the expenditure of the ap
?ropriations for the Mississippi river,
hat commission was either compe
tent or incompetent. If incompetent
it ought to be disbanded ; if it was
competent it would take into consicU
ration the improvement of Memphis
or any other harbor. In so far as the
improvement of -this harbor was
necessary for the improvement of the
river, the commission had the right
to expend the money, for that purpose
In reply. to the gentleman's statement
taxing him with the entire responsi
bility for the action ef the committee
he would say that it was untrue,
unjust : and ungenerous in the
extreme. - '.
These remarks aroused the atten
tion of the House, and the two gen
tlemen were immediately surrounded
by their fellow members, anxious to
hear their words, which were uttered
cooly and in such low voices as to be
almost indistinguishable. -;
I do not think, said Young, that
the gentleman means to apply to me
the language he uses. Was that his
purpose?'"
; "I say," replied Willis, "that when
the gentleman undertakes to put upon
me the responsibility of refusing this
appropriation he does state what is
untrue." - '
"I made the statement," continued
Young, "that you were the only one
that did not disavow it. I do not want
any member to stand on the' floor
and say that I state what is not true,
I can take care of myself here, but I
do not want that statement to go to
the country under a misunderstand:
ing." - :. -. v '-: .
Willis: ."If the gentleman under
takes to say that I was the only men -ber
of " the committee who opposed
the appropriation for Memphis and
to rest the responsibility of its rejec
tion on me, he state what is not true."
; Young "ThenI have to state that if
under his assumption he undertakes
to brand me with falsehood." - :
Willis '"The gentleman need not
fo to that point. If you stated what
said I stand by what I said."
Young 4You said under a hypo
thetical case that I have stated a false
hood." : ;,r,'P:.'v;;: j,,

The New Pacific Railroad Bill.
Thn Kill rpnorted bv the iudiciarf
ittPB of tha' Senate, and now
pending, for the extension ot tne
debt of the facinc rauroaas, is sooo

the present value of the. -debt with
the interest accrueu anu vu acyi uo
until i tha ; matiiritv of the Dresent
bonds; second, that ' the amount so
ascertained shall be divided into 120
equal parts, eaeh one of which is to
be represented by a new bond of the
railroad companies,- and on which
they shall pay a per cent; interest
per annum, the whole interest on
each bond becoming due for its en
tire period only at the maturity of
the bond. In the case of the Central
Pacific, the original amount of Bubsis
dy bonds issued by the government
was $27,855,680. On this amount inT
terest has been paid by the govern
ment and charged against the com
pany since the issue of the bonds.
After deducting all the credits due
to the company for payments into
the sinking fund, etc., etc., the-pres.
ent value of the Central Pacific debt
and future liabilities to the govern
ment, if calculated upon the methods
of the life insurance actuaries, would
be about $47, 000, 000, which, divided
into 120 equal parts, would be $891,000
each. Of these one would be payable
each six months, together with in
terest from its date to its maturity at
3 per cent, the first bond with inter
est being, say, , $96,860, the second
$402,730, the third $408,690, aDd so
on. Under this rule the first year's
payment Of the Central Pacifies
would be, say $800,000. and would
increase with the annual interest on
the maturing bond of each six
months. The average annual pay
ments of the Central Pacific under
the Thurman act, requiring 25 per
cent, of the net earning, have been
$900,000 though the decline of busi
ness in 1884 reduced it to $661.000 for
that year. If these constructions of
the provisions of the proposed bill
are correct, they would at flist in
crease the annual payment of the
Pacific roads somewhat above the
amounts paid m the last year, though
they - would be smaller than they
would have to pay uuder the Thur
man act if there was a revival of
business to its condition of three or
four years ago. In addition to this

Concerning Sle plehsneh8.
London Lane t.
Sleep is a perfectly natural funcs
tion. it is not a negative act, out a
positive process. Herein lies. the
difference between real sleep and the
poison-induced torpor which mimics
the stale of physiological rest; We
ought to be able to 6leep at will. Na-
i oleon and many busy men the late
Mr. Wakley, for example -developed
the power ;of self-induced sleep to
such an extent as to be able to rest
whenever and wherever they pleased,
for longer 6r shorter periods ; as the
conditions admitted. We have been
led to believe that Mr. Gladston at
one time possessed this faculty. If
that be sor his recent insomnia be as
sumed to have been the result of
such intense brain worry as inhibited
the control of the will ; or there may,
of course, be physical causes which
render the apparatus of the cerebral
blood supply less manageable by the
nerve centres. In any case, it is
much to be deploiecJ that, in the stu
dy and treatment of insomnia, the
profession generally does not more
flearly end constantly keep in mem
ory that what wc call sleoplessr.ess
is really wakefulness, aud that be'
fore it is juitiflable to resort to the
use of .stupefying drugs the precise
cause of disturbance should be clear-,
ly made out. This, of course, takes
time and involves a scientific test
ins of the relative- exeitabilities of
the sengesorgans, central or radical
and pheripherat. he discovery of
the cause, however, affords ample
recompense tor the trouble ot search
ing for it. with the sphygmograph
and a few test appliances, such as
Gallon s whistle, an optometer and
other; instruments, the recognition of
the form and cause of sleeplessness
can be made in a brief space, and
then, only we protest, it can be sci
entifically l. e., physiologically
treated. - . ! Deserted br His Wile. ,

At about 4.30 Thursday morning a
fire was discovered n the store of A.
P. Sullivan, under, the Merchant and
Farmers office. - The flames spread
rapidly from that point until the
block embracing io d, rius3 & uo.,
grocers, the Meichant and Farmer
and Laurensville Herald were entire
ly consumed. The fire at the eame
time extended into the block ot brick
stores on the square East of the
Court House, destroying the entire
block, and was finally stopped, after
a most determined fight, at the alley
way separating: the store ot George.
B Anderiin from the drug store of
Posey & Co. ; The alley way was only
about ten feet wide and the contest
with the flames from the burning
buildings as they assariled the -Posey
building across i he small space was
one of the mdsTgallant in the annals
of conflagrations. The only means
at hand was the water brought from
a distance in buckets and passed up
to the roof of the building by ropes,
and yet such was the energy display
ed that the building was saved and
the fire stayed at this point.
The burned buildings were severally

RHEUMATISM AND TONIC.
: CHAJtLOTTE, N. C , Dec. 10, 1884. '
I have used Mrs. Joe Person's Reme
dy, and it is the finest medicine I ever
used for Rheumatism. . For more than
twenty years I have been afflicted with
muscular Rheumatism, and ha 1 tried
every known remedy, .: but without
avail. I was often so bad off and suf
fered so much", that I could not lie
down, but had to be propped up in bed.
I had been subject to these severe attacks-
for twenty years.. I tried Mrs.
Person's Remedy last spring, and am
perfectly cured It is the best medicine
in the . world, I think . No word3 of
mine can express the benefit I have de
rived from its use. VI suffered from pal
pitation of the heart upon the least ex
ertion. ' Of that I am perfectly relieved.
My health is now perfect, and it is all
owing to Mrs Joe Person's Remedy... I
am strong and .well, and can take ex
tended exercise without fatigue I ad
vise all who need a Tonic, or are suffer-.
' ing 'with Rheumatism or Eczema, to
take it. I was induced to try it by it
having cured my little grandson of
Ecu-- MRS. S. M. HOWELL.
SCROFULA.

Yanderbllt's millions could not buy from me what
'Swift's Specific has done for me. It cured me of
scrofula of 15 years standing.

years, and having all sorts of treatment, I was re

to death's door by a combination-of eczema and
erysliielan. from which 1 had suffered for three

ease. I have been cured sound and well by the use
