Bayard of Dela ware; Secretary of the Treasury, Daniel Manning of New York ; Sec retary of War, William C. Endicott of Massachusetts ; Secretary of the Navy, William C. Whitney of New Yoik; Secretary of the Interior, L Q. C. .Lamar of Mississippi ; Postmaster-General,' William F. Vilas of Wisconsiti; Attorney-General, A. H. Garland of .Arkansas. Mr. Blaine called upon President Cleveland on tha 13th, at the latter' a request. The meeting was a hearty one, and the two gentlemen we're closeted together for nearly an hour. On the following day Mrs. Blaine, accompanied by her son Walker and her daughter Margaret, attended Miss Cleveland's reception. Miss Cleveland had never met cither of (the.m bef pro and the ,color came to her faco V(hen Mrs. Blaine was pre sented. Miss Cleveland made their short stay at the White House -very pleasant, paying them the most dis tinguished attention. Soon af tr the Blaines left Mrs. Logan passed in and was piesented. The calls of Mrs. Blaine aud Mrs. Xogan caused a sensation in political circles. Mr. Blaine was to have given a dinner to tho President lost week. Leoni, "king of the air," fell from n wire on which ho was giving a walking exhibition in the strcst at Stockton, Cal., on the 14th, and died from his injuries an hour later. He was about 34 years of age and had been in the show business about twenty years. His true name was Maloncy. A Now York despatch of March li th bays Gen. Grant's disease has passed the period of quiescence. Ulceration has begun in tho roof of his mouth, so that the cancer will now make constant aud fatal pro gress. Life with the Grant family has Buttled down to n quietness aud regularity that wait tho coming cvont. lie lives every day in tho quietest possible manner, avoiding everything that would have a tcn donoy to lower thu tono of his Bys tcm or to induce weakness. His great dilllculty has been to got sulll cicnt sleep, and he lias not had n good night's rest for more than a week. He sleeps best after daylight, when he drops into a slumber that lasts from two to four hours. In conversation ho seldom alludes to himself, and when ho docs it is al ways with an expression of confi dence and reliance. His mind natu rally clings to the belief that some power still remains unshuttered and he cannot get accustomed to the idea that ho is being beaten in a fair fight. A large mass meeting of citizona assembled in Tucson, Arizona, 14th, to express their indignation over the work of the Territorial Legislature, which adjourned the previous day after a sixty days' session. Strong resolutions were adopted denouncing its venality, ex travaganco and jobbery. Over a million dollars in subsidies have been granted to various schemes $10,000 to build an insane asylum, over 8700,000 to railroad projects, and 8300,000 to other questionable schemes. Although there only 3G members, the appropriation for clerks was $10,000, and for session al printing 820,000. The lavish subsidy bills showed unmistakable signs of jobbery. County courts wore crcatedagainst the protests of1 the people, increasing the taxes of many of the counties over 815,000 per year. Much feeling was ex pressed against the Governor for signing the obnoxious bills. Reso lutions were adopted asking Con gress to annul the laws. Both par ties participated in the indignation meeting. President Barrios of Guatemala is trying to effect a forcible union of the Central Amancan States. Nica ragua, Costa Rica, and San Salvador protest against Guatemala's action, not out of hostility to a federal union, but because they do not relish dictatorial methods for accom plishing that object. The United States Secretary of the Navy on the 14th directed by telegraph the com manders of tho Waehusett and Shenandoah of the North Atlantic squadron, now near New Orleans, to proceed at once to Central America. The commanders of three vessels of the squadron remaining neanNew Orleans were directed to hold themselves in readiness to execute a similar order! Of the North Atlantic squadron three ves sels tho Galena, Powhattan and Swatara are now in Central Ameri can waters. The entire squadron will be held subject to orders from' Washington. These movemonts are understood to have direct reference to the endeavor of Gen. Barrios, to make himself "supreme military chief of Central America." Tlte Government of Mexico has assumed a decided attitudo in favor of the autonomy of San Salvador, Nicara gua, and Costa Rica, against the threatened usurpation of President Barrios. Mexico's sympathy has excited great enthusiasm, throughout the three republics, whose people arc determined to resist th domina tion of Barrios. City of Mexico newspapers arc advocating the send ing of the Mexican army, if neces sary, to put Barrios down. The complaints of the Chilian Government against Nctto, Presi dent of the International Arbitration Court on Peruvian War Claims, have been admitted as well founded, and tho Brazilian Emperor has deposed Netto. The dccisi6ns altogether assess Chili for $29,000,000 damages in favor of Peru. CANADIAN. A Quebec despatch of the 14th says Archbishop Taschoreau wroto to the Irish National Association protesting against the carrying of American flags in tho St. Patrick's Day procession, on the ground that such action would bo misunderstood and taken as oridence of disloyalty, and as signifying that the Irisl people of Canada favored annex ation, A crowded meeting of Irish men, to consider his Grace's letter, adopted a resolution deciding to carry the American flag and respect fully representing to the Archbishop that nothing of a political character WWM'efg'H'WIiriW wan inlonddd by It, and that tho St. John tho Baptist and other national societies similarly honored the stars and stripes. A prominent Irishman protested against disavowing the political import of tho American flag in tho procession, mid said If a vote was taken HO percent of all present would be found to favor annexation. The British Columbia authorities are enforcing tho Provincial law against the admission of the Chinese. Thu Canadian Pacific Railway Company has abandoned its surveys between Port Moody and Coal Har bor. The abandonment of the lat ter port as the terminus is attributed to the Dominion Government having refused to advance a further sum of money to the Company, which is alleged to be in financial straits. Land speculators who gobbled up the ground at Coal Harbor in antici pation of that being the Pacific terminus are excited over the unen viable position in which the change leaves them. EUROPEAN. The Gordon Memorial Committee met at the Mansion House, London, on the 14th. Among those present wen the Prince of Wales, the Dukes of Edinburgh and Cambridge, and Earl. Granville. The committee de cided that the memorial be a great hospital and.sanitarium, to.be erect ed at Port Said and open to the peo ple of all nations of the earth. Gen. Ferrari lias left Italy on a mission to King John of Abyssinia. It is probably on the Soudan busi ness, as tho Abyssinians and the Soudanese are old enemies. Continental diplomats arc discus sing the French aud Russian allianco agiunst England. They assert that such an alliance would bo especially advantageous to both these coun tries, particularly if France is in a mess with China when war is decided upon in Afghanistan. Tho Pall 3fall Gazette of the 14 th indorses the soundness of this theory and urges it as an additional reason for the speedy strengthening of the navy, which, it says, despite official pledges to the contrary, has virtually icmained untouched. The Austrian . Government lias sounded the Powers signatory to the Berlin treaty on the annexation of Bosnia by Austria and the abolition of the nominal suzerainty at present held by the Porte. It is given out that Bismarck' supports Austria. ENGLAND AND RUSSIA. In the House of Commons, on the 13th, Mr. Gladstone announced that an agreement had been arrived at betweeni Russia and England, by the terms of which neither Russian nor Afghan forces would advance further on either side of the fron tier. In reply to a question by Sir Stafford Northcote, as to whether the agreement was permanent or a temporary arrangement, Mr. Glad stone said, and the remark was greeted with laughter, that the agreement was to last as long as thero was occasion for it. Conservatives in England de nounce tho terms of the arrange ment with Russia. Tho Liberal press admit that it is a virtual sur render to Russia of tho frontier demaudsd. There is a widespread feeling in Europe that war will bo staved off. It is thought Eussia will not dcclaro war. The Czar has said that only tiic wiiucsc dreamer coum appre hend war over tho frontier question. England, with the Soudan trouble ou her bauds, would not declare war except for very grave cause. Mean while, the Russians nre hurrying troops by all lines communicatiug with the Afghan frontier, and tho English aro rapidly massing their forces at tho mouths of tho passes leading from India. . Both English officials and generals of tho army in India have long been expecting this crisis. Gen. Roberts and other emi nent soldiers have been warning anti-Russian statesmen that Lord Dufferin's real mission to Afghanis tan was to counteract the foe whosu dark ways ho learned when Ambas sador at- St. Petersburg. The British War Department is making great preparations for possi ble events, Orders havo been sunt to the Arsenals at Bombay and Ben gal to prepare all kinds of ammuni tion. Tho details for two army corps were already completed at tho date the agreement was anuouuecd. Each will numbor 1,500 oflloors, I 30,300 mon, and 11,800 horses. An ' enormous transport Is collecting in ll.a Tlin.Mnn 1 . fl t.l nl I ll , nflll ' mi; ximuiua, .iu i uibsiiiuum ..nit Plymouth. The size of tho lloet far exceeds an possible needs of the Soudan campaign. The Woolwich Arsenal workshops have been hur riedly onlargcd by tho erection of temporary structures. The work men at the arsenal aru on double time. Within tho two days pre ceding latest news the war rates paid on British vessels en route from San Francisco and other distant ports, and on those en route from the Baltic and Black Sea ports had been increased in England. Baron do Staal, Russian Minister in London, protested against Eng land's active war preparations. A London despatch of the 14th says: Sir Peter Lumsden, British Commissioner on tho Afghan fron tier lino, has again changed his camp. He lias fixed it at Zurabat, on tho Persian side of Hcrrirood. Sir Peter's present position is in tho rear of the Russian advanced out posts. As Russia claims that these outposts aro inside the boundary line claimed by Russia, Sir Peter's position lias been made the subject of official representations to the British Government. Baron de Stael, the Czar's Ambassador to England, has asked the British Government to order Lumsdcn's camp moved within undisputed Af ghan territory. The request has been refused and Sir Peter instructed to keep his present position and main tain communication with the Afgh ans at Robat pass. The London Daily Telegraph in a bitter article upon the agreement, says : Tho two Powers are as much at war with each other in tho eyes of Asia as though they had already crossed swords. Russia has struck her blow against England by her advance into Afghanistan. If Eng land does not strike back, by enforc ing her rival's retreat the Asiatic conclusion from her quiescence will be unhesitating, and its Asiatic effect, wc fear, disastrous. The races who witness this struggle are little likely to trouble themselves with tho diplomatic pretexts or geo graphical controversies which may amuse the minds of some English politicians. They will look solely at the broad physical and material facts of this case, and from these they will draw the inference that while Russia dares to act, England can only parley. They will regard tho former as a, rising and the other as a declining Power. The latest news is a despatch from Teheran, March 15th, giving a re port that Sir Peter Lumsden had arrived at Herat and that tho Afgh ans were actively fortifying tho city. Tho Russians occupied various strate gic points on the way to that placo. Merv is occupied by a battalion of infantry, a regiment of dragoons, and some Cossacks. At Askabad there are about 8000 troops of all arms. One Russian brigade and a convoy of military stores are tn route from the Caucasus to Aska bad. An Askabad letter of Feb. 24lh tells of Russian troops and stores going forward daily to Merv. "Tho soldiers arc previously blessed by the priests, who tell them to fight valiantly against the Czar's enemies. Civilians and military men openly discuss tha likelihood of a declara tion of war against England. There is great excitement here. It is stated that Hi, 000 hoops havo been ordered to Merv. Tho railway from Itisil-Arvat to Merv is being pushed with the utmost rapidity. Great difiTeillty is experienced in inducing workmen to go to Merv, as thej' fear they will bo killed "by tho British or Afghans." A letter from Sarakhs, dated March 2d, Mates that five, battalions of Russian' infantry and three batte ries of artillery aro en route to Bok haia and Merv, and a small party of Cossacks recently attempted to tiavcisc tho Zulfikar defile, but wcio prevented by'forco. THE SOUDAN WAR. Gen. Graham found things not to his mind ou his arrival at Suakim, aud after berating officers for blundering choice of positions and other bad management, mado radi cal changes in the defensivo plans. He was Mill lame from his accident in Cairo, aud unable to ride, but with a oano ho manfully -tniugod about on foot making a complcto personal Inspection of the garrison and outlying camps. Tho t-oldiors hailed his advent as tho coining of a savior. A Loudon despatch of tho 1 1th bays: All hands at Suakim aru worried and excited. The constant night attacks by Osmau Dlgna's troops prevent all chance of Bleep, and the necessary fatiguo and police duly during tho day keep the British troops fully employed. As a sample of the vigilanco required on the advance lino, it may be worth while to relate the experience of last night. About midnight the enemy began creeping in small parties toward the right of the Britisli lines. Tho guards were stationed on the right and had been taught by bitter experience to be ware of allowing the Arabs to come to too close quarters. The pickets shot iu the dark at the advancing enemy and then fell back upon the earthworks. The troops behind the fortifications delivered a heavy fire upon the unseen foe and the incident was supposed to be ended. In the meantime a far more serious attack was being made upon the left of tho British line. The enemy advanced in the samo stealthy manner that was employed in tho surprise on the British right, and presently the ground swarmed with Arabs, many of whom were armed with excellent rillcs. They attacked the Grenadier Guards and were repulsed with con siderable loss. They were rallied again by the officers and mado an onslaught upon the camp of tho Bengal Lancers. A spirited skir mish ensued, but tho lancers finally succeeded in beating off the Arabs. About a half-dozen of tho Indians were killed and several wounded. The Arabs lost about 100 men, but managed to carry off from the field most of their dead and wounded. Gen. Graham was to have marched his troops toward the interior some time last week. His first objectivo point would be Sinkat, but to get there he would have to smash Osman Digna. The lattcr's programme is to demolish the British, occupy Sua kim and capture all the ships that brought the infidel dogs. After the arrival of El Mahdi and his troops, the combined forces would cross the Red Sea in tho captuied British transports to Jeddah, in Arabia. Thence they would march to Mecca, r where El Mahdi is to be anointed and acclaimad the successor of Mo hammed, lie will next proceed to Staraboul, having behind him the authorization of the Moslem world and will smash the false Caliph who occupies tho Turkish throne. Special editions of tho London papers were issued on the 15th, with a rumor that Kassala had fallen and the garrison been massacred. It was not believed in official circles, as despatches from Suakim received that day made no mention of such an occurrence. Massowah advices to the 10th say no naws has been re- -ceived from Kassala since March 1st. An Alexandria despatch of the 15th says: An Arabian paper re ports that 15,000 men in Abyssinia arc being prepared for an advance upon Khartoum. A Suakim despatch of March 15th says: Gen. Ewart has arrived. Work on the Suakim Berber rail way has been begun. Osman Digna lias offered to give money and stop night attacks if the British return tho body of his standard-bearer. The firing last night was the heaviest and most continuous tho Biitish havo yet been iHibjccted to here. General Wood ordered the com plete evacuation of Gakdul by March 4th. Lord Beresford's nnval brigade was at Korli March 8th. It was reported, March 13th, that El Mahdi evacuated Mctemncli through fear of an Abyssinian inva sion. Tho House of Commons, March 'Jtli, passed votes for 3,000 addi tional men for tho army, and JL'942, 000 for military expenses. It de cided to chargo the cost of Indian troops to India. Gen. Wolseley'B health and his eye-sight aro improving. Ho is to go on a tour of inspection to the Nile stations between Assouan and Dongola. Tho troops at Korti aro Buffering greatly for want of water. 3 I :a war u &dj&ijt&AiJ.U: Ji&i.' && ., ' j.1,n&.tJu. .. 4-,.-(' o &&i&&Uii3b!i!e'Ms & .-. ii &fc.iflfc&U.,r 13
