vi The Republican Congressional Con-
vention of the Twentieth Ohio District re-
nominated Hon. Amos Townsend. The
adherents of ex-Mayor Rose, of Cleveland,
a minority of the body, bolted and took the
preliminary steps for holding another Con-
vention, on the ground that the primaries
were packed in Mr.. Townsend's interest,
and that the Chairman of the Convention
ruled unfairly against them. There is deep
feeling on both sides.

THE Ute Commission held their first
grand council at Los Pinos, Colo, on the
22d. The principal chiefs and head men Of
the Uncompahgres and several White River
Utes were present. The treaty was discussed
by sections. The Utes do not favorably en-
tertain the severing of tribal relations and
settling down on 100 acres of land. They
want reservations as heretofore, and the
boundaries of the same established before
the treaty Is signed. One Indian spoke de-
nouncing the treaty. Ouray replied, assur-
ing them that it was the best arrangement
that could be made under existing circum-
stances, and informed the Indian that If he
did not like it he had better join some other
tribe. 'fs
THE Mormons of Salt Lake, on the

valley. The procession, embracing ten brass
and military bands, representing sentiments,
ideas, agricultural and horticultural pro-

was an hour IN passing, and was witnessed
by from 10, 600 to 20,00O spectators. There
was a profdsion of notices, among the
rest, I" The Happy Polygamic Family"
carried 3'by said family in wagon.

Tabernacle and consisted of speeches and
music. 1t was fullssto overfiowing and pre-
sented amimpressive spectacle. There was
less show Of hostility to the Government and
outsiders than has been formerly made on
this anniversary. The Federal officers of
Utah were invited to attend as guests.
The St. Louis Merchants Exchange
has refused to lower its standards of wheat
grades, which it is claimed are nearly
or quite one number higher than those of
competing markets. A large number
of dealers favored the proposed change,
for the reason stated, and also on
the ground that the present exacting
system of grading was driving large quanti
ties of wheat into other markets where
more lenient system obtains. The argument
of the majority, opposing any change, was
that the present system of grading wheat in
St. Louis is now well known in all the mar
kets of the world, that under it the
trade Of St. Louis is rapidly increasing, that
the bulk of the incoming wheat crop would
readily grade as No. 2, and that any change
calculated to degrade the standard would in
the end prove detrimental to all concerned.

ANOTHER serious disaster has befallen
the, British troops in Afghanistan. Gen.
Burrows's command, numbering between
1000 and 5000 men, which was recently
dispatched from Candahar to cooperate
with Shere Ali, has been attacked and almost
annihilated by the native insurgents under
Ayoobi, Khan. Ever since the ele-
vation Of Abdurrahman Kahn as Ameer,
through the power of the British
Government, his old enemy and rival to the
throne, Ayoob Kahn, has been gathering
his forces about Candahar, but the British
commander i evidently underrated the
