ST. LOUIS, July 13.-At meeting of the

ReSolUed That in our opinion the choice
of St. Louis as the place for holding the
next National Democratic Convention would
be an act of Justice to the Democracy of
the West; that in the magnificent new Mer-
chants Exchange, which can comfortably
seat 10, 900 persons; the hall is amply suffi-
Client for the convenience of the mem
bers and spectators We urge upon the
members of the National Committee
for this State that they use their best
endeavors to secure the selection of st.
Louis, and we authorize them in behalf OF
the Democracy of our State to give the as
surances that they will pay the expenses OF
the convention, and on behalf of our citi-
zens that the members will be accommo-
dated with as much comfort and as little
expense as they would be anywhere else,
while our citizens would vie with each
other in rendering generous inequalities.
Signed by all of the Executive Committee.

LONDON, July TN the House of Com
mons Capt. Darllie Cochrane called atten-
ton to the progress of Russia in Central
Asia, which was such as to furnish her with
| Ha I'D
the government against indifference to the
danger, pointed out Russia's breaches of
| promise in the past, and deprecated Eng
lands entering into engagements with
Prussia, and urged the strengthening of
English influence in Afghanistan, for which
| purpose the visit of the Prince of Wales to
India offered favorable opportunity. He
closed by moving for the production of
papers relative to the occupying of Khiva.
/ Mr.. Hamburg, member for Tamworth,
seconded the motion.
Hon. Mr.. Burke, of the foreign depart
ment, replied that all papers in regard to
Khiva had been laid before the House, and
other communications on the whole ques-
ton of Central Asia had been exchanged.
He was sure that when they were produced
the House and country would approve the
course of the government and recognize
the splrlt OF lrlenolineSs winch cnaracter-
lied the entire correspondence. Nobody
could deny that Russia had broken her en-
gagements with regard to Khiva. He
would not discuss this point for obvious
reasons. Russia and Great Britain ought
to recognize the interest they have in main
tanning reasonable distance between
their respective frontiers in Asia. The
English government was fully aware OF the
danger attending the advancement of the
frontier Of either power. The government
did not think an arrangement settling OF
and defining certain territory between them
as neutral ground possible. 1t would be
sure 10 lead to mutuA misunderstanding,
and therefore the government did not in
tend to enter into any formal agreement on
such basis. England wished TO show that
she was not an aggressive power, and had
no desire to extend her Indian frontiers.
