to say that should myself have been an

Of McGraw Is perfectly agreeable to our
section. Alderson's wonld have been any
thing else. I am told that Lucas told the
Secretary that our Congressman did not
represent the sentiment OF the district. II
this is so, he is wrong SO far as my infor.

A Former Fight Rumored In Which th'
Russians Were Routed.
LONDON, April 9.-England yillat once
demand Of Russia an explanation Of tht
Russian conduct in forcing the battle OF
the Afghans. This demand, it is under
stood, will be coupled with a demand fol
the withdrawal Of the Russian forces tc
the north OF sarakhs. A letter received
from Meshid, dated on the 7thof March
states It was at that time rumored that re
Gently the Aighans had sent force out
from Herat, and this force had attacked
the Russian troops in Zulflkae Pass, and
compelled them to retreat from the
pass. This letter added that the
route Of the Russians on this
occasion was so complete that
forty of their soldiers and two officers
were driven to seek refuge on the Persian
side oith Herrirod river. III. Lessar, OF
the Russian Afghan boundary commission,
at present in London, in an interview
published in this evenings Pail Mdh

landed 100 men to-day. Although many
rumors of possible tnmult when they
landed had been circulated, there was no
disorder. The men guard the wharyes,
offices and rolling stock OF tho Panama
Railroad Company. A meeting was held
yesterday attended BY foreigners and
natives TO consider the situation. A
memorial was adopted declaring that the
danger OF an attack from Bnena Ventura
and Carthagena made 1t necessary to de-
clare the State neutral and calling upon
the President to send commissioners to
notify the leaders at these points. The
opinion is expressed thatif further attacks

Whatever may be thought of the re-

there can be no denying that he repre-

out the north where the knowledge OF the
means by which tie solid south obtained
its present political control is understood
and appreciated. As Mr.. Sherman init

there would not now be the humiliating
