After on interval of thirty-sovon years «nce the toundations were first laid, the tall- est monument or structure of any sort in th« world hat been formally dedicated, to the memory of Cieorge Washington in the capi- j tal city which bears his name. The ceremon- ies both at the monument grounds and at the Capitol were of the nvx>t imposing and nn- i pressive character. The weather was in- ] tensely cold, the thermometer at 11 A. M. ! ranging fourteen degrees above zero, but the j day was clear and bright, and the erent I proved a memorable one in the list of "Wash- j iugton pageants. Despite the <x>ld, intensi- . fleti by the sharp wind, the scats of the grand i stand were quickly filled, among the first j comers being Eln^nczer Burgos Ball, of Ix>u- doun County, \"a. "I am one of the Wa«th- | ingten kindred, M he said, when asked for hi* : ticket. "My grandmother was George ^Vash- I ington's niece; my grandfather Ball was of ! the family of Gtftieral Washington's mother, Mary Ball." The near approneh of the inauguration cer- emonies swelled the crowd of visitors, and at an early hour the streets presented an unusu- ! ally animated appearance with the numerous j military and civil organizations and the j crowds of spectators marching toward and : converging near the base of the grand shaft, ' 555 feet high. The outdoor ceremonies began i at the foot of the monument at precisely the I hour appointed, il o'clock. The grand stand i was filled with distinguished invited guests— i President Arthur, his cabinet, visiting gov- ! ernors of States, Senators and Hepresenta- •! Lives, the menrbere of the Monument commis- i sion, Colonel Casey, engineer in charge, the j diplomatic corps, and others participating in '< the presentatioa | Senator John Sherman, chairman of the I joint congressional committee^ presided and j apeiied the exercises with a brief address, re- i viewing the history of the monument and > paying an eloquent tribute to Washington.

The address give* with great detail the history of the movement I f r >tti ite inception to its completion, and com- ptiments the individual* and associations who nave been connect 3d with the work. Then, after describing tit© monument, Mr. Win- thron narrates vividly many of the deeds of Washington, and gives an analysis of his character as a soldier and a statesman, finish- ing as foHows: "Our matcnlem obelisk stands proudly be- fore us to-day and we hail it with the exul- tations of a united and glorious nation. It may or may not be proof against the cavils of critics, but nothing of human construction is against the casualties of time. The storms of winter must blow and beat upon it, The action of the elements must soil and discolor it. The lightnings of heaven may scar and blacken it. An earthquake way shake Its foundations. Home mighty tornado or resist- less cyclone may rend its massive blocks asunder and hurl huge fragments to the ground. But the character whicn it com- memorates and illustrates is secure. It will remain unchanged and unchangeable in all its consummate purity aud splendor, and will more and mora command the homage of succeeding ages in all regions of the After ex-Governor Long kad finished read- ing. Senator E Imonds introduced John W. Daniel of Virginia. Mr. Daniel gave a graphic sketch of Washington's life and work, and concluded: "Long live the republic of Washington! Respected by mankind, beloved of all its sons, long may it be the asylum of the poor and oppressed of all lands and religions—long may it be the citadel of that liberty which writes beneath the eagle's folded wiugs: ."We will sell to no man, we will deny to no man, right and justice. "Long live the United States of America! Filled with the free magnanimous spirit, crowned by the wisdom blessed by tha mod- eration, hovered over by, the guardian angel of .Washington's example, may they be ever worthy in all things to be defended by the blood of the brave who kn^-w the rights of man—may they be each a column, and all together, under the constitution, a perpetual temple of peace, unshadowed by a Caesar's palace, at whose altar may freely commune till who seek the union of liberty and brother- hood. "Long live our country! Oh, long through the undying ages may it stand, far removed in fact, as in space, from the Old World's feuds and follies—solitary and alone in its grandeur and its glory, itself the immortal monument of him whom Providence com- missioned to teach man tho power of truth, and to prove to the nations that their Ree- de«mer liveth." The benediction was pronounced by the chaplain of the House, and the ceremonies were ecded. In the evening there was a grand display of fireworks in the monument grounds. Aja immense crowd was attracted by the sight, and it seemed as though the entire populaion of the city had turned out to do honor to the occasion. The grounds and streets leading thereto were thronged with people, and the roadway around the monument was packed with carriages. The President and a num- ber of invite if guests, including several cabi- net officers, viewed the scene from the win- dows of the White House.

This death, the dispatch adds, has cast a profound gloom over the whole army. • General Stewart was forty-two years of age. He had served with distinction in the Zulu war and in earlier operations in Egypt. In the prasent^ campaign General Stewart was put in command of the expedition of 1,500 men sent across the desert fioai Korti to Jleteiu- neh by way of <->'akdul Wells. His recent battles at Abu-Klea and near Gubat on Jan- uary 17 and 19 are fresh in the public mem- ory. He was wounded early on the day of the second fight in a preliminary skirmish. Queen Victoria sent her personal congratula- tions to Gsn. Stewart on his brave v,cix>ry and promoted him to be major-general. General Wolseley recently expressed the opinion that General Stewart was one of the bravest, ofli- cers he had ever known.

On Sunday it was decided that owing to short provisions, half of the crew would have to go ashore, as the food would only last a week longer. On Tuesday morning from the cross-trees a rim of land was sighted to the eastward. Thirteen men. were chosen to remain and seventeen of the most hardy to go ashore, The mercury was then 10 degrees below. At 7 o'clock Joseph Russell, first mate; David Martin, steward; W. P. Kenny, clerk, and fourteen of the crew started, with a day's rations, axes, blankets, etc., expecting that thay might have to be out over night, as the land seemed thirty miles away. When about twelve miles away from the boat, Kenny broke through the ice, wetting his right leg to tho knee. They went on about six miles, when they found Kenny's leg frozen. All were ex- hausted, as the ice was rough aud block- ed into nearly impassable ridges many feet high and miles wide. When off kind four miles Kenny could not stand, and dragged himself along on his hands and knees for two miles, when he was completely exhausted, and so frozen that ha could not move, and urged th3 others to leave him and save themselves. Some of the party had by this time—5 o'clock —reached the shore and found a few houses'] at West Casco. They alarmed the neighbor- hood, and farmers went out and carried the brave but insensible Kenny to the beach. The land there rises 100 feet, almost straight. Heaving lines were placed around Kenny, and he was drawn up by those above and carried to a dwelling. The men were housed and fed by the farmers, who willingly cared for them.

It was also stated that the Mahdi had written a letter promising re- inforcements, impressing them to follow and harass the British troops while crossing the desert. The M&hdi's most active general, Abdullah Khalifa, was in command.of the Arabs at Abu-Klea. The arrival of General Brackenbury*s col- umn at Abu-Homed will be a welcome event for the British, sine© there will then, for a few weeks at least, be a possible line of communication with Korosko, above the Second Cataract. This line is 235 miles long, and there is only one point at which water is found, but steps will doubtless be taken to forward stores of water to £1 Murad in advance, and by forced came] marches the distance can be covered in nine days. At best this line will be an indifferent one, but anything is preferable to the isolation of the past several days. A grand durbar was held at Korti in the presence of the Kabbabish and other sheikhs and the British troops. Lord Wolseley per- sonally invested the mudir of Dougola" with the order of St. Michael and St. George. The mudir asked Lord Wolseley to convey his thanks to the queen for this "mark of dis- tinction. General Wolseley received a visit at Korti from a number of i riendly chiefs. He an- nounced to them that it was the fixed de- termination of the British to recapture Khartoum and to avengo the death ot General Gordon. The papers continue to publish extracts from the telegrams and letters of General Gordon as they appear in the Blue Book on Egypt. One of these letters, dated Decem- ber 4,1S84, recounts many incidents of the siege, and has the following narratives: "Once the river rose. We drove off the Arabs in four fights. Wefiredtheir towns. We sent two expeditions to Sennaar. We had a fight on Sept. 4. We were defeated with.heavy loss, our square getting always broken. it has b^en quiet since. .We fired 3,000.000 rounds in these different fights. The Arab Krupp guns often hulled our steamers. We Bave lost three steamers and built two. All the captives with the Mahdi are well. Slatin Pey is wall treated, but he is kept in chains. The nuns among the captives ostensibly married the Greeks in the party in order to save themselves from being compelled to marry Arabs. There is a mysterious Frenchman from Dongola with, the Mahdi. Don't let the Egyptian soldiers come. Take direct command oi the steamers at Metemneh and turn out the fellaheen." In a letter to a friend at Cairo, dated De- cember 14, General Gordon wrote: "It is all up with us. I expect a catastrophe within ten days from the present time. It would not have been so if our people bad kept me better informed of their intentions. My adieux to all." A native has reported that the Madhi has offered the Egyptian garrisons in the equa- torial provinces of the White Kile and Sen- naar a safe conduct out of Egypt upon con- dition that they give up their arms. The queen has sent an autograph letter to Miss Gordon, sister of General Gordon, ex- pressing her majesty's sympathy with the lady in her bereavement by the loss of her heroic brother. TEAIU DISASTEES. Six Railroad Acridents in One Dav— JLOKM of Life. At 3 A. JL a passenger train, drawn by thre3 engines, bound west, on the West Shore railroad, ran into a freight traiu at Canajo. harie, N. Y.

THK DKDICATORY CERKMO.VIEa !After on interval of thirty-sovon years

«nce the toundations were first laid, the tall-est monument or structure of any sort in th«world hat been formally dedicated, to thememory of Cieorge Washington in the capi-

j tal city which bears his name. The ceremon-ies both at the monument grounds and at theCapitol were of the nvx>t imposing and nn-

i pressive character. The weather was in-] tensely cold, the thermometer at 11 A. M.! ranging fourteen degrees above zero, but thej day was clear and bright, and the erentI proved a memorable one in the list of "Wash-j iugton pageants. Despite the <x>ld, intensi-. fleti by the sharp wind, the scats of the grandi stand were quickly filled, among the firstj comers being Eln^nczer Burgos Ball, of Ix>u-doun County, \"a. "I am one of the Wa«th-

| ingten kindred,M he said, when asked for hi*: ticket. "My grandmother was George ^Vash-I ington's niece; my grandfather Ball was of! the family of Gtftieral Washington's mother,Mary Ball."

The near approneh of the inauguration cer-emonies swelled the crowd of visitors, and atan early hour the streets presented an unusu-

! ally animated appearance with the numerousj military and civil organizations and thej crowds of spectators marching toward and: converging near the base of the grand shaft,' 555 feet high. The outdoor ceremonies begani at the foot of the monument at precisely theI hour appointed, i l o'clock. The grand standi was filled with distinguished invited guests—i President Arthur, his cabinet, visiting gov-! ernors of States, Senators and Hepresenta-•!

Then,after describing tit© monument, Mr. Win-thron narrates vividly many of the deeds ofWashington, and gives an analysis of hischaracter as a soldier and a statesman, finish-ing as foHows:

"Our matcnlem obelisk stands proudly be-fore us to-day and we hail it with the exul-tations of a united and glorious nation. Itmay or may not be proof against the cavilsof critics, but nothing of human constructionis against the casualties of time. The stormsof winter must blow and beat upon it, Theaction of the elements must soil and discolorit. The lightnings of heaven may scar andblacken it. An earthquake way shake Itsfoundations. Home mighty tornado or resist-less cyclone may rend its massive blocksasunder and hurl huge fragments to theground. But the character whicn it com-memorates and illustrates is secure. It willremain unchanged and unchangeable in allits consummate purity aud splendor, andwill more and mora command the homageof succeeding ages in all regions of the

After ex-Governor Long kad finished read-ing. Senator E Imonds introduced John W.Daniel of Virginia. Mr. Daniel gave agraphic sketch of Washington's life andwork, and concluded:

"Long live the republic of Washington!Respected by mankind, beloved of all itssons, long may it be the asylum of the poorand oppressed of all lands and religions—longmay it be the citadel of that liberty whichwrites beneath the eagle's folded wiugs:."We will sell to no man, we will deny to noman, right and justice.

"Long live the United States of America!Filled with the free magnanimous spirit,crowned by the wisdom blessed by tha mod-eration, hovered over by, the guardian angelof .Washington's example, may they be everworthy in all things to be defended by theblood of the brave who kn -w the rights ofman—may they be each a column, and alltogether, under the constitution, a perpetualtemple of peace, unshadowed by a Caesar'spalace, at whose altar may freely communetill who seek the union of liberty and brother-hood.

"Long live our country! Oh, long throughthe undying ages may it stand, far removedin fact, as in space, from the Old World'sfeuds and follies—solitary and alone in itsgrandeur and its glory, itself the immortalmonument of him whom Providence com-missioned to teach man tho power of truth,and to prove to the nations that their Ree-de«mer liveth."

The benediction was pronounced by thechaplain of the House, and the ceremonieswere ecded.

In the evening there was a grand displayof fireworks in the monument grounds. Ajaimmense crowd was attracted by the sight,and it seemed as though the entire populaionof the city had turned out to do honor to theoccasion. The grounds and streets leadingthereto were thronged with people, and theroadway around the monument was packedwith carriages. The President and a num-ber of invite if guests, including several cabi-net officers, viewed the scene from the win-dows of the White House.

Death of Another Prominent 1Officer in

A dispatch from Korti brings intelligenceof the death ot General Sir Herbert Stewart"nho was wounded attheZeroba fight of Jan-uary 19. This death, the dispatch adds, hascast a profound gloom over the whole army.

• General Stewart was forty-two years of age.He had served with distinction in the Zuluwar and in earlier operations in Egypt. Inthe prasent campaign General Stewart wasput in command of the expedition of 1,500 mensent across the desert fioai Korti to Jleteiu-neh by way of <->'akdul Wells. His recentbattles at Abu-Klea and near Gubat on Jan-uary 17 and 19 are fresh in the public mem-ory. He was wounded early on the day ofthe second fight in a preliminary skirmish.Queen Victoria sent her personal congratula-tions to Gsn. Stewart on his brave v,cix>ry andpromoted him to be major-general. GeneralWolseley recently expressed the opinion thatGeneral Stewart was one of the bravest, ofli-cers he had ever known.

Arctic Adventure4* of a Steamer'sCrew on Lake .Tlichigant

A Grand Haven (Mich.) dispatch says thatparticulars were received there regarding theterrible experience of the crew of the ice-locked steamer Michigan. On Sunday it wasdecided that owing to short provisions, halfof the crew would have to go ashore, as thefood would only last a week longer. OnTuesday morning from the cross-treesa rim of land was sighted tothe eastward. Thirteen men. werechosen to remain and seventeen of themost hardy to go ashore, The mercury wasthen 10 degrees below. At 7 o'clock JosephRussell, first mate; David Martin, steward;W. P. Kenny, clerk, and fourteen of thecrew started, with a day's rations, axes,blankets, etc., expecting that thay might haveto be out over night, as the land seemed thirtymiles away. When about twelvemiles away from the boat, Kenny brokethrough the ice, wetting his right leg to thoknee. They went on about six miles, whenthey found Kenny's leg frozen. All were ex-hausted, as the ice was rough aud block-ed into nearly impassable ridges many feethigh and miles wide. When off kind fourmiles Kenny could not stand, and draggedhimself along on his hands and knees fortwo miles, when he was completelyexhausted, and so frozen that hacould not move, and urged th3others to leave him and save themselves.Some of the party had by this time—5 o'clock—reached the shore and found a few houses']at West Casco. They alarmed the neighbor-hood, and farmers went out and carried thebrave but insensible Kenny to the beach. Theland there rises 100 feet, almost straight.Heaving lines were placed aroundKenny, and he was drawn up by thoseabove and carried to a dwelling. The menwere housed and fed by the farmers, whowillingly cared for them. Kenny recovered

Extracts from Gordon's Letters andTelegram

A dispatch from Korti aayi that GeneralBuller has an ample supply of food and water.The prisoners who were captured in tbt skir-mish on the 17th state that 2,000 Arabsfrom the vicinity of Metemneh w«r»encamped near the British front*The chiefs intended to make &night assault upon the British lines. Half ofthe men were eager for the attack, but th*others were disinclined. The attack, there,fore, was postponed. It was also stated thatthe Mahdi had written a letter promising re-inforcements, impressing them to follow andharass the British troops while crossing thedesert. The M&hdi's most active general,Abdullah Khalifa, was in command.of theArabs at Abu-Klea.

The arrival of General Brackenbury*s col-umn at Abu-Homed will be a welcome eventfor the British, sine© there will then, for afew weeks at least, be a possible line ofcommunication with Korosko, above theSecond Cataract. This line is 235 mileslong, and there is only one point at whichwater is found, but steps will doubtless betaken to forward stores of water to £1 Muradin advance, and by forced came] marches thedistance can be covered in nine days. Atbest this line will be an indifferent one, butanything is preferable to the isolation of thepast several days.

A grand durbar was held at Korti in thepresence of the Kabbabish and other sheikhsand the British troops. Lord Wolseley per-sonally invested the mudir of Dougola" withthe order of St. Michael and St. George.The mudir asked Lord Wolseley to conveyhis thanks to the queen for this "mark of dis-tinction.

General Wolseley received a visit at Kortifrom a number of i riendly chiefs. He an-nounced to them that it was the fixed de-termination of the British to recaptureKhartoum and to avengo the death otGeneral Gordon.

The papers continue to publish extractsfrom the telegrams and letters of GeneralGordon as they appear in the Blue Book onEgypt. One of these letters, dated Decem-ber 4,1S84, recounts many incidents of thesiege, and has the following narratives: "Oncethe river rose. We drove off the Arabs infour fights. We fired their towns. We sent twoexpeditions to Sennaar. We had a fighton Sept. 4. We were defeated with.heavyloss, our square getting always broken. ithas b^en quiet since. .We fired 3,000.000rounds in these different fights. TheArab Krupp guns often hulled oursteamers. We Bave lost three steamersand built two. All the captives with theMahdi are well. Slatin Pey is wall treated,but he is kept in chains. The nuns amongthe captives ostensibly married the Greeksin the party in order to save themselves frombeing compelled to marry Arabs. There is amysterious Frenchman from Dongola with,the Mahdi. Don't let the Egyptian soldierscome. Take direct command oi the steamersat Metemneh and turn out the fellaheen."

In a letter to a friend at Cairo, dated De-cember 14, General Gordon wrote: "It is allup with us. I expect a catastrophe withinten days from the present time. It would nothave been so if our people bad kept me betterinformed of their intentions. My adieux toall."

A native has reported that the Madhi hasoffered the Egyptian garrisons in the equa-torial provinces of the White Kile and Sen-naar a safe conduct out of Egypt upon con-dition that they give up their arms.

The queen has sent an autograph letter toMiss Gordon, sister of General Gordon, ex-pressing her majesty's sympathy with thelady in her bereavement by the loss of herheroic brother.
