English Troop. of the London, Feb. 1L Lord "Wolseley telegraphs the government that scouts sent to Khartoum have re turned. They confirm the report of the killing of General Gordon and the atrocities committed in Khartoum by El Mahdi's men. The war office refuses officially to confirm the dispatch which states that General Wolseley telegraphed the government that spies, sent to Khartoum to ascertain the fate of General Gordon have returned with proof of his death. There is still slight grouud for hop ing that Gordon is still alive. The accounts of newspaper correspond ents all come from a common native source. No witness of the death of General Gordon is mentioned. "With General Gordon were Hanzel, Aus trian vice consul, aud twenty Greeks and Levantine merchants. A firm at Alexandria for whom the Greeks had been acting as agents do not believe the story of the massacre at Khar toum. It is known that El Mahdi holds fifty Greeek prisoners in camp at El Obeid, and tuat tnoy are wen treated. In reply to inquiries Gen era! Wolselev telegraphs he lias no more authentic news than that brought to Korti by Colonel Wil son. Up to midnight Wednesday the government had no official advices confirming.the report of General Gor don's death. General Gordon, before his depart ure on the mission to the Soudan, told a personal friend, who now makes the story public, that he en tertained a Jpresentiment that he would never return from Khartoum. Gordon said the presentiment was distinct and intense, and he could not push it off. Throughout his en tiro life, he said, he had always been Btrongly and correctly affected by pre sentiments. During his military ca reer in China he was guided by them, but never, even in the most critical moments of that eventful period, had he ever expected death. The friend also asserts that in pursuance of his belief in the presentiment which cov ered him with its shadow before he started for Khartoum. General Gor don actually bestowed upon his chos en friends all his trinkets and me mentoes. London. Feb. 12. General Earle was killed Tuesday during the storming of the enemy's position at Birti. The Standards correspondent with General Earle's column sends the following dispatch, dated Dulka island, Tuesday: 'The British troops advanced to attack the enemy, who had a strong position on the hills, After some hghtmg the enemy were completely surrounded. Finding it impossible to dislodce the rebels from their fprtified position, General Earle ordered the troops to charge. Gen eral Earle was killed while leading the attack. The Black Watoh regi ment captured the position at the point of the bayonet, the cavalry tak i lg possession of the enemy's camp. General Brackenburg, upon the fall of General Earle, assumed command, and ordered the remaining positions of the enemy to bo stormed. The troop3 acted promptly, made a gallant attack and soon captured all the ene my's positions. The fighting lasted five hours. There was great slaugh ter among the enemy. Those who survived escaped by swiming the river." It is aunounoed that a narrow guage railway will be constructed be tween Saukem and Berber, iiinglisli firms offer to undertake the construc tion of the road within a fortnight, by use of manufactured sections of rail lengths. The government has decided to ac cept the temporary services of a lim ited number of officers of the militia and reserve forces. Sir Samuel Uaker writes that he bplievps. Kharloum'had alroadv fallen when the battlosot Abou Klea and Gnkdul were fought He says the treachery which caused the fall of the city originated among traders, who being absolutely ruined by England's policy of abandonment, wisely songht El Mahdi's proteotion. Sir Samuel urges a new expedition, to consist of 12.000 men, and that all converge at Berber which would make a base that could be supplied from Suakem Continuing he says: "If the present imbecile government delays, any loneer, the splendid army in the Sou dan will be paralyzed by hot weather. En eland should let Italians occupy Kasala, relieving the present gallant garrison at that place and retaining the country from the Massowah to the Atbara river." He asks how long England will stand the present terri ble misgovernment. The cabinet to-day approved Gen eral Wolseley's plan for an early advance from Suakem to Berber. A narrow guage railroad will be laid to Ariab, thirty miles west of Su,a kem, where an entrenched camp will be formed, with a central depot for stores. " Leaving Ariab, the troops will proceed by forced marches to Berber. It is calculated the advance will begin about the third week in March, and it is hoped Berber will bo reached in six weeks. Ariab, wherp the entrenched camp will be formed, is on the road from Suakem to Berber, and is described as a "smil ing oasis," where there is good pas turage and plenty of water. The cabinet is divided on the sub ject of the agreement in relation to Egyptian finances mkdc by Earl Granville, minister of Qireign allairs, and Premier Ferry. A majority of the members approve "rhe measure. Premier Ferry will communicate the agreement in a format note to the powers, and it will na. submitted to parliament as soon as triat body shall meet. Its ratification is doubtful. Rome, Feb. 11.

On the other hand, the government expresses great anxiety over the disasters in the Sondau. fearing El Mahdi's success will lead to a serious movement in El Hejaz, Arabia, where he has many followers.

On motion I of Keifer, the clerk of the house was directed to inform the senate that at 12 o'clock the house would be pre-! pared to receive that body in con-' formity with the provisions of aeon- current resolution relnting to count-1 ing the electoral votes. j At a few minutes before 12 o'clock the speaker pro tem. requested the I members to clear the two first rows of' seats for the accommodation of sena- tors. At precisely is. tne senate oi mo United States was announced, and headed by Mr. Edmunds and oflicers of that body, thescuators filed in and . took the seats assigned them, the' nrMmt.nf tlio connln canHtm l,rnl J self by acting speaker Blackburn.

The tellers appointed , bv the two JlUUSCb Will IliriUiU ItlKU their places." Senator Hoar and Pendleton, and Representatives Clay and Keifer hav ing taken their places at the clerk's desk, Edmund's said: 'The president of the senate will open the certificates of the several states, in alphabetical order." The call of states then prooeedod, alphabetically. When New York was reached tho certificate was read by Clay of Kentucky, and as some vague rumors were in the air this morning that trouble would be made over counting the vote of New York, a murmur of relief went up when Clay finished reading, and announced that the certificate of the electors was certified by Grover Cleveland, gov ernor. A slight manifestation of ap-i plause was promptly suppressed by Edmunds, who ordered the sergeanf-at-arms to arresj any gentleman or other per&on "who disturbed the order of these proceedings by applause or other manifestation. The call of 6tates then proceeded. Vhen the count was ended the pre siding officer of the senate announced that "Grover Cleveland aud Thomas A. Hendricks have received a majority of the electoral votes for the respect ive offices of president and vice presi dent of the United States." l'he declaration, he said, was made only as a public statement in the presence of the two honses of congress, and not as possessing any authority of law to declare any legal conclusions whatever. When the vote was declared tho audience broke into applause and cheers, which the presiding officer at tempted to suppress, but with little success.
