The First Work or the New Congress Will be to Mop the Sew Slaie Trade In Tangers. Logan and the Illinois Senatorahlp Mr. English for tho Treaeury Notes. THE NEW SL4YERY. The New CoDgre to lireafc Up the Slave Marts at tlie Seaports. Special to the EentlneL Washington, Feb. 5. One cf the ilrst things the next Congress will try to do, it is is said, will be to break up the slave agencies ia this country. In New York, Boston, Philade'phia, Baltimore and probably one cr two other Urge seaport cities there are agencies for managers cf (Uvea in foreign countries. They sbip slaves and paupers here and hire them oat, and deal generally in contract labor. The labor organizations of the East have protested against this system of bemeaning labor in this country, and have petitioned the legislators for a law on the subject". They have been referred to Congres3. There is a bill looking toward the abolition of the systems of importation of labor under con tract, but it does not reach these agents. Laborers in thi3 city had a taste of this evil last summer. A large body of Italians were brought here through these agents to work on a sewer. It is said they were paid as low as sixty and seventy cents a day ind bearded themselves. They carried thair earthly possessions on their backs, and were a bezgaily looking crowd. They demoralized the working force of the District, and the contractors were at last compelled to take them away. There is an organized raid et ting ready for this matter. Logan's Trooptcts fur the natorahip. Special to the Sentinel. "Washington, Feb. ö. "Do you think Senator Logan will be re elected by the Illinois Legislature?" was asked of a distinguished Republican oT Chicsgo this afternoon. ' I have hoped so all tiling during this Eqsabble," he replied, "but I have given It up now. I doii't think there is much show for General Logan to te returned to the Senate. The matter is in tha very greatest uncertainty at test." "What would he do if defeated?" "1 presume he would practice law. Bat in that he would be like a fish out of water, for he has been in public life almost constantly for nearly thirty year?. He served in the Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh Congresses before the war. When he emerged from the army he was sent to Mexico as Minister, and re entered Congressional life sixteen years ego. In 1877-Ts h9 praciiced law a little at Chicago, but he would have to go more on hij reputation now than anything else." "Is he popular in Chicago?" 'Yep. veiy" pci'Ulut atac-Jg ll cla:.3ea there, and would get a good deal of a certain kind of law patronage, no doubt, through his acquaintances. He would doubtless represent a good many railroad and other corporations. Yes, sir, I have given up all hope of his being re elected, and expect to see him back at Chicago soon. Krg!lh Talked ot fur the Treaaurj thii. Special to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 5. There has been a good deal of comment here to day upon tne announcement that the bankers and capitalists of New York are circulating a petition asking President-elect Cleveland to invito Hon. "William H. English, the candidate f Vice Fresident with Hancock, to take char, i of the Treasury portfolio. The comment have been very favorable to Mr. English fc r the position. The only opposition to him seems to come from those whose first choice for an Indianian for the Cabinet is ex-Senator McDonald. Mr. English bears an excellent reputation as a financier. He Is iodorssd in New York most cordially, it is said, by the leading moneyed men. His views on the subject given from time to time through the pres., and his ability as denionstratsd by his management of banks and his own affairs at Indianapolis, have given him a place in th-t history of financiers and public men. Should President-elect Cleveland for any reason cot see it proper to invite ex-Se i ator McDonald Into the Cabinet, there are Democrats here high in authority who believe that Mr. English will be chosen. It is understood that he would accept the Secretaryship of the Treasury if it is offered him. A Settled Policy Wanted. Special to the Sentinel. Washington-, Feb. ö - "Well, the Republicans have been in power for twenty vearj, and if they have not hied themselves in office it is their own faulty" observed Gen. eral ScofieM, the distinguished President o the Swaira court-martial, in conversation t5day. "If the Republicans are made to wa'k out after their long period of power," continued he, "they ought not to complain, for they have had the opportunity to make themselves invaluable. What we most need in this country, it seems to me, Is a permanent political policy. If a party would adopt a permanent policy, the people would conform to it nd indorse it finally, and it w ould be the best for everybody. We need permanency of leadership, too. If we had permanent leaders st the head of a aity, with a definite and permanent palicy,

wewouldha7ea regularity of thiDgi, and there would be better satisfaction with the (iovemment." General Schofield evidently believes that thtie thould be nothing like rotation of parties, and that one party and one set of leaders ought to adopt a policy and force it npen the people, "fcr it is this unsettled cenditien in parties and policies which brings about dissatisfaction and the unstable affairs in buticess," said he.

Window fur Itent.' gpcciAl to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 5 At almost every step on Pennsylvania avenue now one sees the placard, "windows for rent." It means windows for viewing the procession on the 4th of March. They rent at from 3 to each. There will also be a number of amphitheaters constructed along the avenue for that day. The thoroujhfarj is almost an hundred feet wide its entire length ar.d the hundreds of thousands of people caD look upon the parade from lha immediate vicinity. So many tickets, are being said lor the inaugural bail that there will be no pleasure in attending it. The crowd will be alxost suffocating, and the accommodations wi'l be very meagre. Altogether the inauguration arrangements are progressing in such a way as to attract an enormous attendance. NATIONAL MATTERS. Amendmci ts to the Illver aud Harbor Approjn . -loa Kill The Legislative, Kic ativ - and J ndlcial Approprla?luaa, Etc., Etc. Washington, Feb. 5. At a meeting of the Biver and Harbor Committee to-day it was decided to report amendments to the Kiver and Harbor Appropriation bill, eliminating the item which proposed to make Captain Fads consulting engineer for the Mississippi River Commission, and to place him Jin charge of Galvestjn Harbor. Tho amendments will reduca the appropriation proposed for Galveston Harbor froxi 5750,003 to X0.000, and will provida that no part of this eura shall be expended uotil tbe Hwozi Commission, provided fcr in the bill, examine the harbor and mate a report to the Secretary of War. Judge Neal, solicitor of the Treasury, ha3 given his opinion in regard to the proper construction of the phrase, "in the line of his duty," ai contained in sections seven and e'ght of the act of May 4, 18S2, providing means to pramote the efficiency of the Life Saving Servica. 119 holdi thai the benefits provided for in section seven exlead to all persons disabled by r?a3on of injary receivrd, or disease cotitr&cteJ, while on duty in the service. He also holds that the benefits of section eight are applicable to widows, and chiidreu under sixteen years of age, of the keeper or member of a life saving crew, who after leaving the tervice dies in f onf-f (pence t injury or d:seae coatracied in tbe ecivice in the line of duty.

The Governor of Dakota is al? aiitLorized, in conjunction with the presid ing officers of the last Legislature, to rca; portion the Territory on the first Monday m September, 1SÖ, or within lea days tli?:e after. The President today transmitted to thHoue a communication from th Secretary of State relative t the Japanese Govern rxenVs offer to donate a valuable piec 0 land at Tokio to the United S:ates in e simple for legation purposes. In hia ma3 sage of transmittal the President says: "I earnestly recommend that the Executive may be iiAmeniitely aotiorIz3i to accept the Rifi in the name of the Unite 1 Sutes, and to teude? his IcDpsrial Japanese Majesty's goverameiu n suitable expression of thii Government's thankfor the generosity wnich prompted the presentation cf no desirable a kite of ground.

No other action was taken. The President bu withdrawn his nomination cf Charles E. Keley as receiver of public mcnejs at Little Rock. Owing to the high charges f or labor, transportation, etc., the sum of $10,000 (appropriated for the display of th poitcffice exhibit at the New O.lesxs Exposition) has

KHARTOUM FALLEN.

Great Excitement Over Kh&rionm, and Anxiety as to the Fate of General Gordon. England Will Avesge the Loss of Khartoum and Humblo tho Arrogant Mahdl. TUE FALL OP KHAUTOUM. Colonel Wilson Finds the Arab Hordes in Fnll Po9Slon of the City. London, Feb. 5, 0 a. m. Intelligence has just been received here that Khartoum has been captured by the Arabian rebels. The whereabouts of General Gordon are unknown. He is probably a prisoner in the hands cf the victor?. The Daily Chronicle says a telegram waa received at the w&r office last night from General Wolteley announcing the fall of Khartoum, 10:15 a.m. General WoUeiey that Khartoum has fallen. He when Colonel Wilson, wha went teraneh to Khartoum, reached place, he found it in the hands telegraphs says that from Methe latter of rebels. He returned to iletemneh under a heavy fire from both banks of the river. 10:30 a. m. The Daily Telegraph, on olhcial authority, confirms the report of the fall of Kbartoum. It says the rebels secured the city by treachery. Nooy".-The mornirjg papers issued extra editions in which they continue to affirm the fall of Khart3um, but the War Office, as yet. has given out no official intelligence iu regard thereto, and refuses to slate the char ecterofthe dispatches received from General WolEeley, or to declare whether the report is true. The report that Khaitium had been taYen by the rebels reached Kort by messengers fiora Gubat.but it is said no official dispatch fiom Colonel Wilson, confirming the report has been received by General Wolseley. It is possible that Colonel Wilson was unable to reach Khartoum, owing to heavy fire cf the enemy, and his return give rise to the report that Khartoum had been captured At this hour no official confirmation of the report has been published, and so far it rests wholly on the statements contained in tbe Chronicle and Telegraph. The News Folly Confirmed. Loni'On, Feb. 5, 12:00 p. ni.-The War Oäuce has issued the following telegram from General Wolpeley, announcing that the fall of Khartoum took place on January 2d. He tays Colonel Wilson arriyfd at Khartcura January JS, and was greatly surprised to find that the enemy were in possession of fl at place. He immeuiately started on his return diwn the river and proceeded under a fceüv y fire from the rebels. When some miles below the Shubluka Cataract, Colonel WiJfcGu'a steameis were wrecked, but he and his whole paity maneged to reach an island in sa'ety were they are recure. A steamer hts gone to bring them back to the British camp near lit temneb. General Wolseley eaye he has no information regarding the fate of General Gordon, and dees r.o know whether he is dead or alive. - P. vs. Thsrc ia v.o losir any- doubt that the Mahdi holtla possession 0' Khartoum. Some hopes are entertained thut General Gordon may still be holding out in the citadel of th town. M anwbile the excitement in London and everywhere throughout the Rntisn Isles, whf ie the resulJ Is known, is rising ti fever hfat. Clubs and public resorts of every dsEcription are thronged with crowd3f n9in'e cecer to catch the least eyllable of iutelügiics from the distant Egyptian desert. Through Fieet street and the diraud it is almciiimpcEsible tomake cue's way, socrowdel are those thoroughfares with throngs of enricus and excited citizens. Most people lake a gloomy view of the position of British troops in the Sjudan. The jubi'arjt gladnets which has characterized England in regard to Eg7pt, ever since tfce welcome news of Stewart's successful arrival in tfce neighborhood of Metemneh was received, has given way to universal depmeion, and expressions of dismay and foreboding come from almost everybody. It is too eariy to estimate the influence of the newa on the political situation. The War Office is besieged with army officers tendering their services fcr active duty in the Sosdan. Numerous telegrams are being received from officers throughout the country. Biking assignments to rescue the expedition, tboHld the Government conclude to take such action. The capture of Khartoum created grave fears, f jpcially m army circles, for the safety of General Stewart and his army. A number of military officers of repute even express the opinion that unless reinforcetnf nts are hurried forward to Korti, the fall of Khartoum may leal to disasters to th9 forces under Lord Wolseley and General Earle. A cabinet council has been announce! to meet at once. Mr. Gladstone is fearfully disturbed by the news, and some people believe he will resign. IIow the Cut Was Captured. London, Feb. o. Native reports say that the Mahdi had 00,000 men in the vicinity of Khartoum, and he introduced a number of his emissaries into the city. These emissaries mingled freely with the native troops under General Gordon, and by bribes,thieatp, and working on their religious fesling. induced them to mutiny. Seven thousand of the garrison d8rted O the rebels, leaving Gordon only 2 500 faithful soldiers. With this small force he attempted to hold the city against the Mahdi's great army, but after i-evere fighting, in which a large camtr cf rtbels were killed, he was compelled to surrender. When Sir Charles Wilon rescued Khartenm he found the Mabd.'a forces had occupied both town and citadel He tried to land and ascertain the fate of Gordon, but this step he found impossible. The euemy'B guns were turned upon him in fall force. He was, therefore, compelled to turn his back upon the fallen city and return to Gubat. without rinding out whether Gordon was dead or alive. ; p. m. The news of the downfall of Khartcum has created a grave apprehension in

regard to the whole Egyptian problem among members of tbe Cabinet. Mr. Gladstone and Earl Granville started for London as soon as the news reached them. A Cabinet council will be held this evening. Military authorities are of the opinion that General Gordon cent the greater part of hi; troocs down the Nile to meet Stewart' forces, and so depleted the garrison in the town and citadel cf Khartoum, and that an attack by the enemy from Omdurmaa was thus rendered much easier. The greatest activity prevails at the War Department. Many officials remained on duty all last night. 1 p. m. Lord Wolseley telegraphs that he dees not consider the British position at Gubat in any dancer. Additional Particulars. 1xniox, Feb. 5.- Colonel Wilson had three steamers, two of which were wrecked in the Nile exactly halfway between Khartoum and Metemneh. The third tteamer, teaiing Colonel Wortley and party, casie cn and brought news to the British camp nt sr Metemneh. The excitement attending the reception of tbe news of the fall of Khartoum is increasing. A constant stream of anxious inquirers, includirg Sir William Vernoa Harcourt, GeoigeJOtto Trevelyan and other ministers, are pouring into the war office. Toe people throughout the provinces are also greatly excited. At Aldershot the news was received with mingled felinss of sadness and Indignation. A great seneation was caused in the Irish garrisons at Dublin when tbe report was received. It is understood the fall of Khartoum will not check the advance of General W( lseley, whese main body of troops will probably march across the dcsrt at once and besiege Khartoum at the earliest possible moment. The lirst news cf the fall of Khartoum received by General Wolseley was broucbt br a rreengcr who left the Island where CjVjnel Wilson was etranded, and came on foit to Gubat. Two messengers weie despatchtd to Korti via Abuklea and GakduL They reached their dest nation, which is regarded ss owing to the news of Khartoum's fall not being known in the desert. The intelligence of tbe disaster, however, has since spread far and wide. Some tribps that hitherto professed friendship for England, have declared for the Mahdi. The Arabs still hold Metemneh. The garrison there received the news of the fall of Khartoum with repeated salves of artillery. When Colonel Wilson's UctUl3 approeched Khartoum it was compelled to run the gauntlet cf a heavy fire from both banks. The rebels had feur Krupp guns on the river tanks at Half ojcy to bombard the fteamers. When the But'sh force reached Omdcrman numbers of rebels continued the fnpilade. Things looked worse when it was discovered that the enemy was in possession of the island of Suttle, juet outddeof the city. The English still pushed ahead, but were dismayed ti find the garrison commenced firing upon them. riags were tiying from the public buildings ad tbe tovn appeared in the undisputed possesion of the enemy. The palace seemed guttsd Finding it impossible to land ia the face of overwhelming numbers of ret els, the British were obliged to ret:re. Kumcrs concerning the fate of General Gordon are many and varied, but all aree that tbe Mahdi captured Khartoum oy treachery. The most reliable reports point to one Foraz Pasha ns the traitcr. It is said that he. being left in charge of the rampart?, opened tbe gates January 20 and admitted the enemy. Some rumors state that Gordon, together with a few Levantines, are cooped up in a church; others that General Gordon was seen wearing the Mahdi's uniform. The majority agree, however, that General Gordon is killed. The Fall Malt Uaette ma the S'.tnation. Lonpon, Feb. ö The Pall Mall Gazette this evening, referring to the Khnrtoum calamity, says: Nobody can ßccuse our gallant tioops of losing a single moment in their lierc6 race 8galuat time m hastening to the use ce of the garrison at Khartoum. The Tff pctsifcility reeta solely with the Ministers, who refefed to allow the Nile expedition to stert, in spite of warnirgs and entreaties, until tto late. Th6 vote of Parliament in favor cf an appropriation of 300,000 pounds for the relief of General Gordon was dtferrt d until August 5. Even then if the fjp trillion had been sanctioned forthwith 1 reciens days would have been gained,but it was ret sanctioned until August 12, when tbe Government finally rsolvedit must relieve General Gordon. That period of hesitation Facrificed Khartoum, and Islam is now victorious. The revolt and fall of Khartoum will permeate tbe arch of the world.

and unless the Ministry display a boldness and wariness equal to their former ditatorincse, a catastrophe worse than that of Khartoum will follow. England dare not fly before the eastern foe: it would mean war and mutiny from one end of Asia to the other. Shejmnst reinforcs her garrisons everywhere, inclnding India, even if it shall be necejsary to call for volunteers to do the work. General Earle must advanca rapidly to Berber and Metemneh. The Suakim carrison must be reinforced and the road to Berber cleared. Every nerve must be strained to prove that the Khartoum disaster has stiffened the resolution to held England's flag aloft in the face of every fop.
