THEY WENT AGAINST THE MAHDISTS A Force of Six Thounml Men, En listed in the ConcoVrec Stnte Tor nn Ostensibly Secret Mission, Which Was Understood to He to Co-Opcrnto with tho Anglo-Egyptian Expedition. Brussels, June 24. The Rcforme says It learns from a god source that the entire, Dhanls expedition to the head waters of the Nile, Including Baron Dhanls himself, has been mas sacred. Baron Dhanls last year enlisted 6, 000 men In' the Congo Free state to take part In a secret expedition. The British government allowed a number of its Hussas troops to Join the ex pedition, but It was officially denied that an Anglo-Belgian movement had been concerted against the Mahdtsts. The general Impression, however, was that this force was Intended to act In conjunction with the Anglo-Egyptian expedition up tho Nile and take the Mnhdlsts between two fires, and even tually complete the reconquest of the Sjudan. In August last Baron Dhanls was imported to have arrived at Lado, north of the territory proper of the Congo Free state, on the White Nile, and some 325 miles north of the Vic toria Nyanza. It was then understood that the Dhanls expedition would push on northward In the direction of Khar toum. FIRST REPORTS OF DISASTEP. Early In December last It was report ed that this expedition had met with disaster and that Baron Dhanls had been killed. Later it was authorita tively stated that there was no ground for the report that the baron had been killed and that when last heard from, In September, he was nt Stanley Falls, 600 miles from the nearest Dervish forces. Baron Dhanls was born in Lqndon In March, 1862, of a Belgian father and a mother of English extraction. He was educated In Scotland and In Bel glum and entered the military school at Brussejs in 1882. In 1884 he became a lieutenant In an Infantry regiment and, later,' he was Intrusted with a mission to Zanzibar by the Internation al African association. He soon dls played.conslderable ability and v is ap pointed by the Belgian government to the command of the expedition to Ka tanga. He defeated Gongo Lutete, one of tho most aggressive of the slave trading Arabs: defeated Sefu, tho Bon of Tlppoo Tib, and Munle Moharre and captured Nyangwe and Kassdngo. Dhanls also .inflicted a, crushing defeat upon Rumallza, .with the result of com pletely overthrowing the Arab rule In the Tanganyika district. Later he re turned to Belgium and was made a baron by King Leopold. His appoint ment to the command of the supposed Anglo-Belgian secret expedition against the Mahdlsts was the next chapter In the career of this officer. ANOTHER CHARLIE ROSS.

IIo Set Type on tho Plrst Edition of Scott's Poems. Chicago, June 24.

In a blinding rainstorm he tried to cross the tracks In front of the train and was ground to death. Partial deafness was one of his afflictions, and this, his son thinks, was the cause of his failure to notice the nnproach of tho train. Mr. Fergus enjoyed the distinction of having originated and printed the first Chicago directory. Among the books on which he set type, when ho learned the printer's trade In Glasgow, Scotland, where he was born, were first editions of Walter Scott's "Marmlon," "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" and "The Lady of the Lake."

Lieutenant Ayerst died of the wounds, and the condition of Com missioner Rand Is very serious. There Is no doubt that the shooting of Messrs. Ayerst and Rand wns con nected with the recent attempted agi tation among the natives.

IMMIGRATION COMMISSION Claims oi Terence V. Powderly That He Is to Succeed Stump. PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR'S VIEWS They Hardly Think thnt tho Presi dent Will Appoint the Labor Leader Without Their Approval -- State ment from Sir. Penrose. Washington, June 21. It Is stated on the authority of a prominent labor leader, who called on President Mc Klnley yesterday, that Terrcnce V. Powderly, formerly grand master workman of the Knights of Labor, will be appointed soon to succeed Herman Stump ns commissioner general of Im migration nt Washington. Tills labor leader states that he was assured by the president thnt this action would be taken. The Pennsylvania senators expressed surprise this morning when the matter was called to their atten tion. The Pennsylvania delegation In congress has Indorsed candidates from their state both for commissioner gen-' oral at AVnshlngton and for commis sioner at New York to succeed Dr. Sen ner. They refused to Indorse Mr. Pow derly for either position, although he was earnestly seeking the office of commissioner general. Their refusal was based on tho great opposition to Powderly's candidacy by the labor or ganizations of Pennsylvania and other states. He increased the ill-feeling which already existed against him among the labor organizations with free sliver leanings, by his declaration for McKthlcy and sound money last summmer, and his denunciation of the Bryan platform nnd its supporters. ' INCLINED TO DOUBT. Senators and others here who nre Interested In tho appointment of the Immigration commissioner are Inclined not to believe that President McKIn ley will disregard the wishes of the Pennsylvania members of congress In 'the matter, for this has not been his policy In making appointments. Tho two Pennsylvanlans Indorsed for the positions of commissioner gen eral nnd commissioner at New York, respectively, arc Messrs. Dlely, of Philadelphia, and Garland, of Pitts burg. Both are prominent labor lead ers, and Garland Is president of the American Association of Iron and Steel workers. Senator Penrose said this morning that he had .been under the Impres sion that Powderly's candidacy had subsided. ''It may be that the presi dent will ask the Pennsylvania dele gation," he said, "to withdraw a can didate In favor of Mr. Powderly, but he has not yet done so." THE NEW YORK COMMISSIONER. Mr. Penroso added that under ordin ary circumstances he should not ex pect to hear the president ask for the withdrawal of the Pennsylvania sena tor's candidate In favor of another Pennsylvania man. It might be that such a request would be made In the case of commissioner nt New York if it seemed desirable to the president that a citizen of New York be ap pointed to the place. In view of the unwillingness of the Pennsylvania senators and representa tives, as a whole, to Indorse Powder ly, It seems Incredible that the presi dent will appoint him. It is true, how ever, that some members of the state delegation who did not think It good policy to Indorse Powderly are person ally friendly to him. A member of the house from Pennsylvania said today: "I did not know that there was any chance that Powderly would bo ap plnted, but I hope the report Is true." "I do not bellve the appointment of Mr. Powderly to a treasury position has been seriously considered," said Dr. Joseph H. Senner, today. "And I feel sure 'that he, is not likely to be made Immigration .Commissioner at the port of New York, although I have heard the rumor that he wanted to be made Commissioner General of Im migration. The term of Colonel Her man Stump ns Commissioner Gen eral expired April 7 last, and his suc cess has not been appointed. My term expires on March 4, 1889. "I shall not bring charges against Inspector James MeKlm, of tho Con tract Labor Division, until after I have further Investigated the accusation which tfhe Portchester people mako against him. They charge him with Intoxication and disorderly conduct at Portchester a fortnight ago. I shall also Investigate the rumor that through his superiors he secured the deportation of a man who was not a contract laborer." CLAUSER'S WANDERINGS. Enstou Postollice Ollicinl Claims to Have Iicon Drugged. Easton, June 24. Henry Clauser, the assistant postmaster at Seldersvllle, this county, who disappeared on the evening of June 17, was found today at White Haven. He wandered Into that town this morning and went to a physician's office for treatment. Clauser says that after leaving his home he went to Allentown, and there fell In with a man who drugged him. That he declares Is the last remem bered until this morning. The police take no stock In his story and they now express tho belief that Clauser mailed to himself the letter signed "Burglars," which threatened his life.
