A dispatch to Secretary schurz, from
Commissioner Hatch, dated Los Pinos agen-
cy, November oath, says: We have infor-
nation that the White River Utes are on
their way here, including Jack. We are
now of the opinion that we shall be sue
cessful in carrying out your wishes. At all
events we have patience enough to try it.
So tar as any danger is concerned the COM
mission have not given that a thought.
They must take the chances.
1t seems, however, that there has been a
turn III the tide since then, as at a meeting
of the commission, on the morning of the
9th ult., a runner came from Douglas
camp with information that owing to the
advance of the troops, the Uintahs had lett
the agency and reservation to join Douglas,
prepared to fight that the White River
Utes decline to return, and that Jack sends
word that lie will not come here until the
Uintah trouble is settled. If this is true,
the work of the commission is ended for
the present. Some Of the commission
doubt the report, believing it is a ruse to
gain time, or that the Mormons are at the
bottom OF it,.
COMMISSIONS Hatch's letter to Secretary
Schurz, dated November %, gives the fol-
lowing additional account of the situation
of Indian affairs: The portmonnie Of Mrs.
Meeker, containing $31, taken from her by
Douglas at the time of her capture, was re-

a runner to Chief Ouray, who delivered it
to agent Stanley. All investigation was
stopped this morning by runners from the
White River Utes, who stated that runners
from the Uintah Utes say that the troops
were moving to the Uintah agency to make
prisoners, and that all the Uintahs had left
for the camp of the White river Utes, who
now refuse to come on until assured that
this is not true. The Indians have been in
formed by the United States authorities that
this report is false and that the troops are
instructed not to advance during the pres
ent negotiations. An advance OF the troops
would close any further business here. Gu
ray thinks the story is an invention OF the
Mormon element, who are doing all in their
power to create serious trouble. This will
delay the commission six days-until the
White river runners return from the Uintah
agency.
The Mark Lane Express says Of the Brit
ish grain trade for the past week: Fortu-
nately, wheat sowing has made fair progress
before the frost set in, and will proceed
much faster if the weather ameliorates.
However, in some districts it is feared that
the future prospects are jeopardized by the
badness OF seed wheat. really good samples
of which are exceedingly scarce. Opera
tions in Scotland are more backward, but if
the weather remains propitious another fort
night a fair area will be sown.
The harvest is now completed in the late
districts in Scotland, but the results are un-
satisfactory. In England the home crop OF
wheat is arriving more freely at the country
markets, but its condition continues unsatis-
factory. When the provincial trade was
dull, wheat declined q shilling per quarter
in many important centers.
