Washington, March 25.-It has been author
tatively stated that the president will appoint
nobody on the Utah commission who lives in
that Territory. Governor Murray has had
recent interview with the president, with the
purpose of efieCting a change to the opposite
policy. While Governor Murray was himself
appointed from distant state to the position
he now holds, he advocates the theory OF
selecting territorial officials from the Territory
He recommends the following: The chair
man of the democratic central committee Of
| Utah, the chairman Of the republican central
committee of the same territory, and others,
making the commission three republicans to
two democrats. All are Gentiles. Governor
Murray says Kirkwood will be rendered the
presidency of the commission.
RUSSIA AND TIE EMPEROR WILLIAM.
St. Petersburg, March 27.-The Invalide
Russo, in publishing an account of the cars
banquet to the members of the German en-
bassy and other officials in honor of. the En-
peror Williams birthday, says with the name
of the Emperor William every true Russian
connects the idea of that most intimate and
sincere friendship which existed between Will
liam and the late car. The enthusiastic res
ponse of the Russian officers to the cars
toast to the health of the German emperor af-
lords the clearest evidence of the feelings
which animate the Russian army.
THE CARS CORONATION.
London, March 27.-A St. Petersburg COR
respondent telegraphs that the object of fixing
the coronation of the car for late date is to
permit the exhibition at Moscow, which will
open in May, to be closed before the occur
renee of the ceremony.
1t is thought that if the two events be stimuli
taneous, the great concourse of people attend
ing the exhibition would give an opportunity
to the nihilists, who are shown by recent news
to be concentrating their forces in Moscow.
A scheme is under consideration for enrolling
a number of the inhabitants to act as special
constables during the coronation.
| GEN. GRANT.
Washington, D. c., March 25.-The party
of cornwall spirits who have walked the echoes
of the executive mansion during the past week
we're dispersed to- day by the determination of
Gen. Grant to visit Philadelphia and again be
a recipient of the hospitality of George w.
Childs. President Arthur had decided to be
present also, but at the last moment was COM
PEELED to change his mind on account of the
pressure of business. A special car had been
furnished for the distinguished visitors, for
besides Gen. Grant, Speaker Keller and
number of senators and representatives had
been invited to attend the reception, and from
the fame of Mr. Childs as an entertainer there
are few who declined his invitation. General
Grant will return to Washington Monday,
and remain few days longer at the white
house before going south for recuperation and
recreation. Since his visit to Washington,
the general has been true to his policy to look
after his friends, and the results of his trip will
soon be made manifest. He has also estab-
lshed one fact beyond contradiction, and that
is that his popularity has increased rather than
diminished during his retirement from the
capital.

has replied to the czar's congratulations as

press my most heartfelt thanks for your kind

| ly response in my grateful heart. | beseech

conducive to the welfare of your people and
to the Strengthening of the peace Of Europe"
