York City Recommended: Some states were attempting to organize the administration of their public health facilities by merging departments. New Mexico and Nevada followed the example of California, Maine, Missouri, and New Hampshire and com¬bined their health and welfare departments.

After a 317-day siege the Mahdist forces attacked on Jan. 26, 1885, and succeeded in breaking through the city's defenses. Gordon was killed on the steps of the governor-general's palace just two days before a British relief force finally reached Khartoum.
