Missouri Democrat until January, 1865,
when he was chosen private secretary to
Thomas G. Fletcher, the governor elect of
Missouri, in which position he continued
until the summer of 1867 After six
months spent in Europe in 1867 and 1863,
Mr. Waite returned to his old home in
Chicago, and entered upon the practice of
the law. In 1872 he was a supporter of
Greeley for president, and established a
newspaper at Sycamore, Illinois, called the
Democrat, which he edited with vigor and
ability until after the last election, support
ing Tlden and Hendricks. No copy of the
paper has been received for some weeks,
and it has probably been discontinued.
Of Col. Barnes and his newspaper life ]

the Union, as he is better known in that
connection.

THE ENGLISH ADVANCE IN ASIA.

Tho London Tines of March 1 contains
m extremely important and aigniGcant
dispatch from Calcutta, to the effect
that treaty has boon concluded with
Khelat, whereby tho British Government
agrees to support the Khan against In
ternal apd foreign foes, and to pny
IN annual aubsidy Of $4,000, besides
further sum Of $4,000 for tho purpose of
eifccting s1ndry improvements in tho Khan

the privilege Of occupying the chief towns
with troops, constructing railroads aud tolo-
grnphs, and erecting forts. The British
agents headquarters ars to DO at Khelat,
aud MI officer ia also to be stationed, at
Que!ta.
Tho Importance Of this news may bo seen
by glance ut tho map Tho northern and
western frontiora Of India are guarded by
the in,penetrablo md gigantic mountain
walls of tho Himatayas and tho 1Iindoo
Koosh. Except by sen or round to
tho eastward by China, Russia can
only get into India by two noun
tain passes,-tao Bholum, noar tho
Deioochistan frontier, md tho Khyber, fur
ther north, near Cabool, and close to tho re-
cent Rusainn acquisitions in Dokharn. Ke-
lat, the British headquarters, iB the Capital
Of Deloochistnn. and Quetta ia on the north
orn frontier. Tho occupation Of these two
important strategic points gives the British
control OF tho southern pass, and will soon
place them in possession Of tho northern

bring England and Russia face to faco on tho
Doklmran border. It will bo "tf,us-fnr-

gostion Of this treaty shows that England IL
not disposod to put much faith in tho solemn
declaration Of tho Czar to the British Gov.
