permits or not. The Cleveland men, when
informed of the Mayors orders, were
much annoyed, and declared they could
not stop their cheering, and accordingly
made the streets ring during the evening
with tAeir campaign songs and cheers for
their candidate. Ex-senator Daggett,

NEW YORK, November 8.
An extra of the Mail and Express says:
seThe Associated Press has now the
official returns in from each district of
every county. As footed up they show
small Republican plurality. The totals
differ from those made by the Democratic
State Committee on the returns from the
County Clerks of each county. But the
figures received by the Associated
Press from each district are the same
as received by the County Clerks of
the respective counties of the State. The
result is now to be decided upon the ac-
curacy of the footing of the totals as be-
tween the Associated Press and the DEM
ocratic State and National Committees.
About midnight the Associated Press will
send out its figures on every county COM
pleted and revised, and viii at the same
time issue the totals as based on the fig
ures of the County Clerks. The public
will then have to take its choice of the
figures or wait until the official count set
ties the question. Present indicatiOnS
point to plurality of 250 for Blaine.

NOT CONFIRMED.
The Reported FaIl of Khartoum and Caps
ture of General Gordon Unconfirmed and
the Story Discredited in British onicLal
Quarters.


Quarters.
LONDON, Novembera 8
The Times considers the news from Cairo
to the Morning Ne,os to the effect that
Khartoum had fallen into the hands OF
prisoner, as extremely doubtful.
This view, it thinks, is especially
reasonable in the absence of advices on
the subject from Woolseley. The Times
traces the report to the Bosphore Eggpti-
an, ga dubious French organ, which
may have given a Europeanized version
to Arab rumors which recently gained
some currency in Cairo.'
Earl Granville, Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, assured the Press Asso-
citation to-day that the Government had
received no confirmation of the news.
Up to noon to-day nothing had been re-
ceiyed at the Government Offices in
regard thereto. A dispatch to-
daV from DongoIa to Reuters Telegram
Company makes no mention of the report
ed fall of Khartoum. 1t says, however,
that the Mahdi, at the last accounts, was
collecting his forces around Khartoum and
had summoned General Gordon to surren-
der. The troops of the Mahdi intercepted
two messengers dispatched blythe British
to khartOum. Same dispatch declared tnaL
a large force of the rebels was at Berber,
and that the rebels had possession of the
wells on the caravan route between
Debbeh and Khartoum. After the crops
are harvested the Mahdi's forces will be
largely Increased.
THE RUMOR DENIED.
$3.50 P. M.-The rumor that the Khedive
had sent a telegram to the Government
announcing the fall of Khartoum and the
capture of General Gordon, has been
authoritatively denied, and the denial
published.
Lord Harrington, Minister for War,
stated yesterday that the Government had
no information of General Gordon's being
captured.
The surmise of the Times that the re-
port of the fall of Khartoum originated in
an unreliable newspaper at Constantine
pie is proved to be correct.
A MESSAGE FROM GORDON.
Carlo, November ).
A courier arrived at Handak with a mes
sage from Gordon to Englishmen, who
may attempt to reach Khartoum in dis
guise. They are warned that such an
undertaking will be almost impossible,
as according to Gordon's information, the
rebels are in complete possession be-
tween Debbeh and Khartoum.

DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
NEW YORK, November z. }
To the People Of the United States:
There can no longer be any question con-
cerning the actual result of the Presidential
election.
Grover Cleveland and Thomas a. Hendricks
have majority of eighteen in the Electoral
College. 1t is not worth while for our adver-
saries to claim the electoral vote of the State
of New York. 1t is absolutely certain that
the returns of the proper officers of elections
on the night of the 4th of November showed
decisive plurality in the state
for the electors supporting Cleveland and
Hendricks. If any different or altered re-
turns are now being prepared or are pro-
mulgated, they are corrupt falsificatiOns of
the records OF the State of New York and the
men aiding abetting the making of such
reports are criminals. 1t is not expected that
you will tamely submit to the Vaccinations
of such men. Let.them understand that you
will not.
Recognize ut noon tomorrow throughout
the United States the actual election of Cleve-
land and Hendricks by firing National sa-
luteS.

country and express your opinions in a man

themselves.
