ST.. PETERSBURG. May 13.-Gen. Kama
rofF's latest dispatches, regarding the coils
ion between the Russians and Afghans neal
Pendieh, with fuller details than his earlier
accounts of the affair, says: The Afghani
sent haunting messenger to the Russians
declaring they would thrash the Russians
as they had the English. The Afghans
Gen. Kanarotf again insists. fired the first
shots, and SO were responsible for bringing
on the engagement. He says he learned
from prisoners who were captured in the at.
tack. that the Afghan leaders had ordered
the Sarks to furnish contingent Of LOCO
men to the Afghan army. The time which
had been allowed the Sarik's to determine
whether they would comply with this re-
quest expired the very day the battle oc-
Cured, and an answer from them was ex-
peeted by the Afghsns on that day. The
effect produced by the Russian success on
the minds of the neighboring people was so
great that directly after the battle the Sarik
and Erssik's commands offered their SER
vices to Russia.

New YORK, May I3.-Between 10 and II
o'clock last night hypcdermic injection
containing five drops of morphine was adj
ministered to Gen. Grant. This quantity Of
the opiate usually neutralizes the constant
pain in the throat, SO that the patient is able
TO sleep. This vas not the result last night.
The general, during the day, had talked too
much with visitors, the air during his noon
day ride was chilly, and his throat had
swollen little and the pain was SO IN
creased that the usual opiate did not pro-
duee the result The general found no
sleep until 8 this morning. At O'Clock he
slept, and continued to do so with breaks Of
waksfulness until between and O'Clock.
This morning at he arose and dressed. An
increased swelling of the throat is to-day
noticeable, and, in the words of Col. Grant,
s.Father is not so well this morning as he
was yesterday morning"

The Annexation Question.

The Minnesota joint resolution, ask
ING the Wisconsin legislature to APP
point commissioners to consult on the
ACCESSIBILITY Of annexing part Of this
county to the State of Minnesota,
came up in our legislative body for
discussion on Wednesday Of last week,
when the committee on State affairs to
whom the matter had been referred,
reported as follows:
WHEREAS, The legislature Of the
state of Minnesota has authorized the
appointment Of commissioners on the
part Of said state, and respectfully re
quested the legislature Of the state OF
Wisconsin to authorize the appoint
ment of similar commissioners on her
own part to treat with the said com
missioners of the state of Minnesota,
respecting a change in the boundary
line between the two states; and,
WHEREAS, The change in the
boundary line, suggested in the petit
ten, if adopted, would deprive the
state of Wisconsin Of Der most import
ant and valuable harbor on Lake Su-
perior, thus placing a prospective
great commercial center Of the north
west Just without the limits Of the
state; and,
WHEREAS, The questions to be sub
mitted to the commissioners relate
solely to the granting Of portion OF
the territory Of the state Of Wisconsin
to the state Of Minnesota, and, belieY-
ing that it is inexpedient and undesir-
able to cede any portion of the state
Of Wisconsin to the state OF Minnesota
and most especially portion Of 50

therefore, be it:
RESOLVED by the assembly, the sen
ate concurring, That we cannot enter
tain a proposition which seems to Us
50 detrimental to the interests OF the
whole state, and especially disadvanta-
geous to our commercial prosperity
and therefore must respectfully decline
to authorize the appointment OF com.
missioners TO treat upon the question
that restricted the question submitted
being so specific that it precludes thC
discussion of the general question of {
change of boundary, and does not pro

1t is natural TO believe that ones

worth knowing in this world, just as
society limits the world TO its visiting
lists. 1t is refreshing to notice that
the present occupant Of the White
House has another point OF view. He
does not think politicians monopol;ze
all greatness, and his selection Of Mr..
Phelps, who is entirely unknown to
politicians, to fiji the most distinguish

is proof that lie thinks there should
be Il change in this regard
By the Mexican Mission going to
Georgia, Kentucky got another disap-
pointment in the failure Of 'Cerro

and Indiana was again ignored. When
ex-senator Mcdonald was here, and
refused to accept the Russian mission,
he told President Cleveland pointedly
that his state had not received as
much consideration as it was justly en-
titled to. lie also said as the state
had no representative in his Cabinet,
she would look to the President to
represent her in It, and Mr.. Cleveland
assured him that, in the end, Indiana
should haye no cause to feel neglected.
