THE AMEER,s rnEAcHERY.

LONDON, September 15.-A dispatch re.
ceived by the Telegraph from Simla, TO-
day, says 1t is believed in the best.inform.
ed circles in India that the Ameer was un.
doubtedly in completely with those who
committed the assault upon the British
embassy at Cabul, il he is not guilty OF
having directly inStigated the affair him
sell. Facts pointing in this direction are
coming in the possession OF English author.
tiles. The pretended imprisonment Of the
Ameer is believed to have been resorted
TO for the purpose Of deCeiving the Bri.
tish as to his loyalty to them. It is held
that there can be but little question OF his
secret association and communication
with Russian agents for the purpose Of or
ganizing combined defense. The Rus
slams and Afghans are against the English
troops. It Is known that the .Ameer has
issued orders to his subordinates at Cabul
to cease all communication with the Bri-
tish. In view OF this fact none OF the En-
glish commanders will hereafter place any
reliance upon his cooperation in their ad.
vances upon the insurgents. The strug-
gle now will probably be between the
British columns and the entire Afghan
strength, headed by the Ameer himself.
The gravity Of the situation is immensely
increased by these new developments.
There can no longer any doubt Of long
and possibly disastrous campaign. MILF
tary movements are made with great eau
ton.

I the session OF l8S0,Sl:

The California election settled one i'm
portant point. Having secured the Con-
gressonal delegation theretrom the Re-
publicans are not at a disadvantage in the
House OF Representatives. But they have
not decided advantage. The present po-
ltica division of the House by States is
nineteen Republican, eighteen Democratic
and one De La Maytr. That is, the Indt-
ana delegation Of thirteen stands six Re-
publicans and six Democrats, with De La
Maytr, who was elected by Democratic
votes as Greenbacker, but whose ante
cedents and, as between the two great
parties, sympathies, are Republican.
What he would do in the event OF Presi-
Dental contest in the House he probably
doesn't know himself 8t
In the event that neither party succeeds
in securing majority in the Electoral
College next year the election will, OF
course, go into the House as in 1924, and
as was 80 nearly the case in 1876. In case
the Greenbackers should by hook or
crook carry one State for their Presiden-
tial candidate iii they should nominate
one) and the election thereby be thrown
into the House, they might in the present
uncertain condition of partisan represen-
tation in that body force the choice OF
their candidate, or let q Democratic Vice
President, chosen by the Senate, bear of
tie palm.
The Constitution provides that il no per.
son 6ave majority OF the whole number
Of electors appointed, the House OF Re.
presentativss shall choose Immediately q
President from the persons having the
highest numbers, not exceeding three, in
