The Ute COmmlssiOn-Remova OF the In.
dians only Question OF Time.
DENVER (Col.) August 2d.-The Tr;5une's
Los Pinos special says: The Indians were
struggling into the Commissioners quarters
all day yesterday to sign treaty. The
chiefs having signed the agreement, the
others are fearful that unless their names are
forwarded to Washington they will receive
no part of the $50, 900 which the Commission
Is authorized to pay ont as soon as arrange
ments for the removal of the Utes are per-
fected, which will probably be some time
next fall. The Commissioners leave here
about the 4th instant, and go to the Southern
Ute Agency, except Colonel Meachanf, who
remains at Los Pinos to take the census.
The removal of the Utes is only question
of time, and the Commission are hurrying
matters as fast as possible. A year from this
fall will probably see the reservation open to
settlement, and the people of the United
States and Colorado will have the pleasure OF
occupying the land and working for their
bread as folks do elsewhere.

Democratic ticket. Reports at the Demo-
cratic Executive Committees rooms from the

Alabama polling heavy Democratic vote.
MOBILE, August 2d.-Further returns in
Mobile county show clear sweep for the
Democrats against the Republicans and
Greenbackers. The lowest candidate will
have LOCO majority.
