GORDON'S FATE.
Stabbed i'm the Back by Treach-
erOuS Friends.
KhartOum the Scene of HOr-
rible Massacre.
England ROusing to the Gravity
of the Situation.

LONDON, Feb. 11-Noon.-Gen.
Wolsley telegraphs that reports from
the scouts sent to khartoum confirm
the news of Gordon's death. He was
stabbed in the back, while leaving
the house to rally his faithful troops.
He was attracted 70 the streets by a
great tamult, and was struck and fell
dead just as he entered the street.
The tumult was caused by the Mahdi's
troops who had gained access to the
interior of the town through treach-
cry, and who were soon In complete
possession of the place, including the
citadel. A fearful massacre of the
garrison followed The scenes of
slaughter are described as surprising
tke Bulgarian atrocities. and rivaling
the worst horrors Of the Sepoy mutiny.
The panic stricken Egyptians were
captured in flight and put to death
with the most fendish tortures. Some
were trans6xed with spears and left
to bleed to death. Most of the victims
were mutilated in a most horrible
manner. Eyes were gouged out,
noses slit and tongues torn out by the
roots. In many cases the mutilated
parts of the victims bodies were thrust
into their mouth, while they we've still
living. The massacre incladed many
non-combatants, and the Egyptian
women were subjected to the most
shameful indignities. More than 100
women and young girls were given
over to the Mahdi's followers TO be
used as slaves. After the slaughter,
many Arabs were seen rushing about
the streets with heads of Egyptians
impaled upon spears The next night
was spent in saturnalia of blood and
debauchery. Since the capture of
Khartoum, the Mahdi has repaired
the Notifications and made the place
we'll nigh impregnable. He has made
it his permanent headquarters, and is
said to have abundance of guns, small
arms and ammunition.
ANOTHER STATEMENT.
LONDON, Feb. 11-There are still
slight grounds for hoping that Gordon
is yet alive. The accounts of news
paper correspondents come from com
mon native sources. No witness to
Gen. Gordon's death is mentioned.
With Gordon were Hanzel, Austrian
vice consul, and twenty Greek mer-
chants. The firm at Alexandria for
whom the Greeks have been acting as
agents. do not believe the story of the
massacre at Khartoum 1t is nown
that Mahdi holds fifty Greek prison
ers aud that they are well treated. In
reply to inquiries, Gen. Wolsley tele-
graphs that he has no more authentic
news than that bought to Korti by
Col. Wilson.

THE bill which has passed both houses
to repeal the pre- ,emption act contains
provision important to recent pre-emp-
ton and those contemplating making
a pre-emption claim. This provision
was inserted at the instance of Delegate
Raymond, of Dakota, and provides that
the repeal shall not affect any valid
rights heretofore accrued under the
pre-emption laws, for any bona fide
claims lawfully initiated before the first
day of July, 1885. The same reserva-
tisn of the rights of bona fide-ciaimants
is incorporated in those sections of the
bill repeating the timber culture and
desert land acts.
Mr.. DAVIS introduced in the house
numerous petitions from livestock deal
ers and shippers of Chicago, st. Louis,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, and New York,
and by the Live Stock Exchange of Chi
cagO, protesting against the false and
slanderous charges preferred by men
ignorant of the business of shipping
stock, and against the passage of the
Hopkins resolution relating to the man

referred to the committee on commerce
THE treasurer of the United States, in
answering resolution Of inquiry by
the House OF Representatives, reports
that no silver coin or certificates have
been rendered by the tire asury to the
New York Clearing House in tho set
tlemsnt of balances, as il is deemed in
expedient to force the issue at the
financial center until the condition of
the treasury compels such a step.
The land Office made rule few
days age which has NOT been formally
announced yet, that proofs in home
stead and pre-emptisn could not be
made before netaries public or clerks of
courts, but must be made before the
land office register, in the district in
which the lands were situated. This in
Dakota would work great hardship, as
some settlers live 100 miles from the
land office where they filed the entries.
Delegate Raymond has been appealed
to by large number of his constitu-
tents who were notified of this ruling to
secure its reversal. The matter has
been laid before the SECRETARY of the
Interior, with full statement of the
facts, and it is confidently believed the
rule will be rescinded.

Modern ORACLE.

appears to have been established at
Caravan. the holy city Of TunIs.
1t consists of a telephone, with an
ingenious Arabic speaking French

Paris correspondents of The London
Times, is an excellent instance how
"they as has braiRsn always find some

The inventor of the oracle was once a
member of a monastery at Avignon.
Expelled by an infidel government, he
went u Algeria and turned Trappist,

too narrow for his versatile and ener-
