KoRn, February l4.-Messengers have
arrived from Khartoum. They were six
days on The journey. The news they bring
of the recent events at Khartoum are not
yet made known.
A special dispatch to the Standard from
Korti states that a messenger who has
Just arrived there from the Upper Nile de-
HES that Khartoum has been captured by
the Mahdi. The messenger says he left
Khartoum on February 3, or six days after
Colonel Wilson, and at that time, although
there was great disorder, General Gordon
was still alive and in possession ofonequarter
of the city.
The officials at the War Office have re-
ceived no dispatches from General Wolse-
ley which in any way tend to confirm the
above story, and it is not believed by them.
Another dispatch from Korti states that
the messensss who arrived there from
Khartoum profess ignorance regarding the
tall of Kharteum or of the death of General
Gordon.
The Mudir Of Dongola refuses to credit
the reports concerning the capture Of
KhartOum by the Mahdi and the massacre
of General Gordon and the garrison.
The authorities here announce this after.
noon that they do not believe the messen-
gers statements rest on a satisfactory basis.

must be OBVIOUS.
On being asked by Senator where ths
taxes are to come from Il msnufsetorie,
ana agricultural products were exempted;
mr. HUBBARD quickly responded: oFrom
the spectators, many OF whom are nou-resi
dents, who buy hundreds of thousands Of
acres Of land which they do not use, nor cul-
hvase, while labor is itching 70 build homes
and farms upon it."
Mr., HUBBARD stated that land was rarely
assessed at its real value, to determine
which the means were insufficient He
thought that these few hints would enable
the Legislature to make up the deficiency
In taxes made BY these much needed ex,
emptioAs.
Mr. HUBBARD appeared to carry the COM

mission to speak beyond his allotted time

news was brought here this evening that
the town of Alta was nearly wiped out by
an avalanche. 1t has been showing for
week and was twelve feet deep on the level
and storming hard. Last Aighteoon- atter
o'clock Q tremendous volume of snow
swept down over the Emma mine works
doing no damage there except taking
the smoke stack along. Then it
struck the town crushing about
three-fourths of it, but fortunately many
houses were deserted tor the winter. The
place is built at the foot of convergiug
gulches and slides have faie track. Tuck.
err boarding house was swept away, and
the hotel crushed Valleys works, includ-
ing buildings and tramwsys, were crushed.
Two men at this mine happened to be in
the drift and escaped. Strickley and Tuck
er and Wallace's store were injured slightly.
Powers butcher shop and Simpsons drug
