FALL OF KHARToCM AND CAPTURE OF COR
DON.
LONDON, February 5.-A decided sen.
sation was created here to-day by the re-
ported capture of Khartoum. The news
spread throughout the city, and crowds
gathered in front of the War Office, news
paper Offices and other news centers for
the purpose of Obtaining the latest infor-
nation.
The report was subsequently confirmed
by the announcement that a dispatch had
been received at the War Office from Gen
eral Wolseley, dated at Korti, which states
that native courier from Metamneh had
arrived at headquarters with information
that Colonel Wilson. had returned from
Khartoum, to which place he had been
dispatched with a small force on steam
er found at Metamneh upon its capture,
and reported that Khartoum had been
captured by the enemy, and that Gordon
had been made prisoner of war.
Wilson said that all along his retreat
| from the ill-fated city he was constantly
harrassed and subjected to q heavy tire
from the enemys guns. Many shots
struck the steamer without doing serious
| damage.
Everything went comparatively well
| until within short distance of Metamneh,
when the vessel ran ashore on one of the
many islands, and was total wreck.
Colonel Wilson states that Khartoum
fell on the 26sh OF January. He arrived
| off the city two days after the fall. He
| expressed the belief that the capture
was hrOuobt abOut nv the treachery of
some of the natives that Gordon had
pressed into service.
Wilson, with light force at last ac-
counts, was still on the island on which
he was wrecked, awaiting a steamer to
take them to Metamneh.
sThe courier reports" adds Wolseley,
| ''that the fall of Khartoum caused a gen.
eraI feeling of gloom throughout General
| Stewards camp, and fears were freely
expressed that unless reinforcements
soon arrived their fate would in all prob
/ ability be soon sealed

ExCIrEMENT IN LONDON.


the widest excitement throughout the
city, far exceeding in intensity any that
has been reused by any of the startling
events of the past few weeks. Govern
ment officials and sympathizers hope the
news will turn out to be greatly exagger-
ated, and express the belief that Gordon
has not been driven from the citadel, in
the center of the city.
The streets are thronged with people
anxiously discussing the Ominous intelli-
gence, and grave fears are entertained
that none of Stewards little band viii
ever Iecross the desert.
Not since the passage of the Darda-
nelles by the British feet, during the
Turco- Russian War has there been such
excitement in this city. On every street
corner groups of excited people discuss
and speculate as to the result of this new
disaster and the action of the Ministry
in the present emergency is eagerly
awaited Many predict it will result in
the fall of Giadstone's government.
TWO THOUSAND MEN SLAUGHTERED AT
KHARToUM.
CAIRO, February Ga Tumor has
reached here that two thousand men
were massacred at Khartoum. The
news of the disaster has cast a gloom
over the entire European colony in Egypt.
GoRDoN's FATE-EL MAHDI's PROMISE.
LONDON, February 6.-Opinions differ
greatly as to the fate of General Gordon.
He has always averred that he would
never be taken alive, and those who
know him best believe that he has been
killed. Still it is known that the one
point toward which El Mahdi has de-
voted his best energies during the past
year has been the capture of Gordon
alive.
AS long ago as August, 1884, Gordon
wrote his sister in LONDON that she need
have no fears for his personal safety, be-
cause he had charm for his life which
he would not explain to her beyond that
it arose from his trust in the Almighty.
Other private letters received at about
the same time, and only now made pub
lie, say that Eel Mahdi had ordered that
all his soldiers must shoot wide of Gen
eral Gordon, and that any of his soldiers
that killed or even wounded the great in
fdel should be punished with death.
The battlefield at El Obeid, where the
army of Hicks Pasha was slaughtered is
staked off with posts to show where va
rious officers met their fate, and FL
Mahdi has solemnly assured his followers
that he would some day show them Cen
eral Gordon chained to the post which
marks the spot where Hicks was killed.
But those who know General Gordon
believe that before he is chained to any
post there viii be many men killed, and
he will be among the number. The be-
lief among army officers is that II the
fight which resulted in the surrender Of
Khartoum occurred after a mutinous up
rising of ative troops, General Gordon
Is dead.
MUST DROP PARTY SPIRIT.
LONDON, February 6.-The Standard
says that all party spirit must be drop
ped, and one supreme, united effort be
made to save Gordon in a crisis which
can only be compared TO the beginning of
the Indian mutiny.

the least doubt that it was a pTemedi-

believe that Prof. Mezzeroff had snything
to do with the conspiracy, and firmly be-
lieYed that it was the work of the British
Government to put him out of the way.

In the current number OF Science
fresh interest is given to the subject of
earthquakes, which have lately caused
alarm in both hemispheres, by state
ment of the number of noticeable shocks
in this country during the twelve years
from 1872 to 1883, inclusive. No less
than 364 earthquakes are recorded as
occurring in Canada and the United
States, not including Alaska, within
the above period. OF these the Pacific
Slope had l5l, the Atlantic Coast l47,
and the Mississippi Valley 6S. Thus
it appears that an earthquake occurs
about once in every twelve days some-
where in the United States and Canada,
and about once month on the Atlantic
Coast. These are exclusive OF the
lighter tremors which do not make an
impression on observers, but which
would be recorded by properly con-
structed seismometer, an instrument
designed to detect the slighter shocks.

There are 10000, averaging not more

There is not mechanical trade in America
but is represented by journal in its class.
What trade is there that is of more importance,
that requires more genius, and more careful
attention to detail, than farming? The worker
in iron, IL he wishes to prosper, knows that no
must choose the representative journal of his
trade, study the, market reports OF iron, aud
otherwise keep himself thoroughly posted He
relies implicitly upon the statements contained
in his favorite champion of the industry, an

edge, which surprises his negligent competl-
tors. BY careful perusal of the well timed cd
itprial copWepts, and the closely cleaned notes
are to him invaluable. The farming community
of the West are beginning to comprehend tic
fact that there are for them newspapers which
give such clear-cut and well-defned ideas o.
the science of farming, that their trade, ht
king Of industries, takes its place at the head
of the long list as the art universal One Of
tho most prominent of this class of publica-
tons is The WESTERN RURAL AND AMERICAN
SToCKMAN, of Chicago.
How proper 1t is that agriculture should b9
represented by such a worthy champion of its
interests. The RURAL AND SToCKNfAN has long
been recognized as one OF the best journals of
its kind in the world, the editor and pub
Usher having been for years a sue

OKLAHOMA TERRITORY.

Ex-Congressman Sidney CIarke's Compre-
hensive Measure to Open Up a Part of
the Indian Nation.
Ex- Congressman Sidney Clarke, of Kan
sas, has prepared bill to be presented to
Congress organizing the new Territory of
Oklahoma. The boundaries include the
country within the present limits of Indian
Territory known as Oklahoma, and the
public land strip north of the Pan Handle
of Texas. The bill provides for all the
necessary machinery for the executive,
Legislative, and judicial functions of COM
plete Territorial Government. The Indian
tribes who had absolute titles by patent
from the United States are exempted from
the operations of the bill. The unoccupied
Oklahoma land and the public land strip
are declared to be part of the public do
main and opened to settlement under the
homestead law, embracing about 1000, 900
acres.
Another section of the bill disposes Of
the unoccupied portion of the Cherokee
Strip west of SO degrees Of longitude to
actual settlers only in tracts not to exceed
100 acres, at S1.25 per acre, the proceeds
to be placed to the credit of the Cherokees,
less the cost of sale and the appropriations
already made for the payment of said land.
For the purpose of securing the assign
ment of homesteads in severalty TO the
Indians of the various tribes, their educa-
ton and civilization, the reduction of the
reservations, and the sale and settlement
of the surplus lands, and the final adjust
ments of all questions relating TO Indians,
a commission is authorized to be appointed
by the President, composed of three civil
ians and two military officers. Full author
ity is given to the commission, under the
direction of the President, to enter into
such negotiations with the Indians rs may
be necessary to carry out the provisions Of
the act.
The bill has been prepared at the request
of the leading members of Congress and is
one of the most comprehensive measures
yet suggested for the establishment of a
civil government and the settlement of the
troubles in the Indian Territory. Altogeth-
er it.opens to actual settlers not less than
13,O00,000 acres of unocupied land, and
does not interfere, without their consent,
with any of the reservations now held by
the Indians by valid title. A determined
effort is to be made this winter TO secure
the favorable action of Congress on this
bill. It's friends will be fully prepared to
answer all objections and to show that the
best interests of the Indians and the settlers
will be subseryed by the organization of the
new Territory of OklahOma
