niiicant News from Gen. kOmarOH.
PARIS, May ia dispatch from st. Peters
burg to the Journal des Debdts states that Russia
has entirely rejected the British proposals. The
same dispatch also says that Russia will de-
sian representative at Cabul, the capital of
Afghanistan. French diplomats think this
latter demand, If made, will prove more serious
than any frontier question.
1t is reported that Gen. Komaroff considers
the objections. of the sariks to the proposed
bound iry we'll founded as it gives the Afghans
the best pasture lands.
The Globe this afternoon states that England
demanded a definite pledge from Russia TO
spect the new Russia-Afghan frontier under
any circumstances, and to renew the assurance
that Afghanistan was outside OF Russian
sphere. Russia refused to accede to this request
further concessions.
THE SARIKS OPPOSED TO THE FRONTIER LINE
PROPOSED BY ENGLAND.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 15.-The Oficidl Mes
sen9er to-day publishes report from Gen. Ko-
maroff to the effect that the sariks are opposed
to the new frontier line proposed by England,
claiming that it is an infringement upon their
rights, and gives the best land in the disputed
territory to the Afghans. A council of minis
ters was held and, after thoroughly discussing
the subject, it was decided to support the claims
of the sariks. Further pourperlers between
England and Russia will now be necessary, so
that the claims of the sariks may be considered
before the Anglo-Russian agreement can be APP
proved by Russia.

RANGERS TRYING To PREVENT THE HOSTILE
INDIANS RETIRING TO THE CYPRESS HILLS.
MEDICINE HAT, n. w. T., May 15.-Stewart's
rangers are covering every trail for the north and
SOUTH having frontier of 150 miles to patrol.
They are working on important Information re-
ceived from Fort Assinaboine, which cannot be
made public. Fifty scouts are I'm the field, and
a reserve of fifteen remain at this point. 1t is
thought that i'm event of Poundmaker and Big
Bear being driven to bay they will at once
strike south for Cypress Hills. II they should
succeed in reaching that point, where large
herds of cattle are grazing, they can make a
better defense than in the north. Being close to
the boundary line, facilities for obtaining ann
munition aud supplies, and being Joined by
American Indians, halfbreeds and other symp-
athiZers will be much greater.

met In joint convention at $50 am, and upon
roll-call 10 senators and 1873 representatives
answered. A motion was made to have Weaver
seated, but Speaker Haines would not recog-

but the oral declaration of the honorable gen.
tleman, and he could take no cognizance. After
a long wrangle, during which different efforts
were made TO take vote for Senator. but be-
fore one was taken, however, the republican
members adjourned to the senate chamber,
leaving the speaker and the house alone. The
question then arose to whether il was then
a joint assembly or regular house session. This
question was argued at length for the purpose
of killing time till IL o'clock, SO that the joint
session would again convene. Sittig is not
present nor is Riggs.
