Delaware gazette and state journal. (Wilmington, Del.) 1883-1902, 1884-11-06

Venus rises at $50 q. m. and Is steadily
drawing nearer the sun. Her course during
the month extends in slAnting direction
nearly the whole length Of the constellation
Virgo.
Mars is too far away from us to possess
much interest now. Uranus Is moving alowly
down the neck of Virgo, being still quite near
to the star Eta Virgins. He Is invisible to
the naked eye, and. with Venus, rises at an
unreasonable hour.
The bright stars Of the evening sky deserve
a passing notice. Directly overhead at
p. m. on the LIST may be seen Deneb Oygni, In
the head of the great cross OF the
Swan, which lies nearly north and
south along the Milky Way. A
short distance to the westward is Vega,
the brightest Of the stars visible at that hour.
In the northeast the bright Capella is rising.
The four stars forming the great square Of
Pegasus are about two. thirds of the way from
tho eastern horizon to the zenith. About
25o southwark Of Deneb oygni are the four
small stars forming the peculiar diamond
shaped cluster, popularity known as "Job's
Coflin." In the southeast is the bright and
lonely star Fomalhaut in the Southern Fish.

GORDON, FArE IN DOUBT.
The Report Of His Capture Lacking
Confirmation.

LoEDos, Nov. 3-The Timer considers
the news reported from Cairo to the Paris
Morning Ns,os, to the effect that Khsrtoum
had fallen into the hands OF the rebels
and that Gen. Gordon had been taken
prisoner, % extremely doubtful. This
view, II thinks, Is especially reasonable
in the absence Of sdvices on the subject
from Gen. Wellesley. The Iimes traces
the report to the Bosplore Esypiien, Ga
dubious French organ, which may have
rumors which have recently gained some
currency in Cairo"
Earl Granville, secretary Of state for
foreign affaisa, assured the Press Asso-
cistinn to day that the government had
received no confirmation Of the news. Up
to noon 10 day nothing had been reosivsd
At the government offices In regard
thereto. A dispatch from Dongols to
Reuters Telegram Company makes no
mention Of the reported fall Of KhArtoum.
It says, however, that the Mahdi,
At last accounts, was collecting
his forces around Khartoum, and
had summoned General Gordon to
surrender. Troops OF the Mahdi had in.
teruepted two messengers dispatched by
the British to Kuartoum. The same dis.
patch declares that large force Of rebels
was at Bsrber, and that the rebels had
possession Of the wells on the caravan
route between Dsbbeh and Khartoum.
After the crops are harvested the Mahdi's
forces will be largely increased.
The rumor that the Khedive had sent
a telegram to the government announcing
the fall Of Khsrtoum and thu capture OF
General Gordon has been authoriIa,ively
denied, and the denia. has been pub
| lished.
In the house Of lords this afternoon
Lord Granville, foreign secretary, said
the government had no reason to believe
that the report Of the fall OF Khartoum
and the capture Of Gen. Gordon was
