Camp Arams, llurn, CoL, Aug. 27.— 11:35 a. m., via Gliswooo Springs. CoL, Aug. 37.—$ p. m.—A courier from Pray has just arrived from Rangely, sixty-five miles west of MeAker. He brings news of the first fight. The Utes opened fire first at #:B0 a. mu, August S3. Jack Ward of Kendall** party is killed and five men are wounded, two of the sheriff's party and three of the Colorado National Guards, ptere were forty of the troops and fo.rty.of the sheriff’s men engaged with a boot one hundred and twenty-five Ptos. Three Utes are known to have been killed certainly, and how many more is only surmised. The Indians are said to be attacking the ranches below and butchering the ranchers, and it is expected that troops will have to go to their assistance. Pray, yaptain of the scouts* had his horse shois from under him, hut he is unhurt. Dr. Dumont, of Meeker, urns wounded. The fight occurred at a place sis miles west of Rangely. tn a little canyon between the mountains. The Indians had planned an ambush, but the scouts discovered it and retreated in time. The Indians opened fire, and Major Leslie, who commanded the scouts, which were augmented c by Major Hooper’s Aspen volunteers, returned the fire from behind the rocks. The Indians showed themselves and fought desperately. Upon the first concentrated fire of the troops two Indians fell, and one white man. Dr. Dumont, of Meeker, with Kendall’s band, was wounded. For two hours the battle raged incessantly, when the l; tes retreated to timber and only skirmish shots _ were fired during the day. This cc until eleven o’clock last night, bo' was injured. Jack Ward, one of men. was shot down during tl of the fight. The whites saw it raged behind the line. The lead. There were five whites At twelve o’clock the news is C that el/Hit Ir^iens were killed, . the early part of the fight end five late.* The hospital is well arranged and ready for occupancy in the Meeker schoolhoose. Meeker is as quiet as a funeral. Little groups on the streets have got wind of the news and are waiting with bated breath. Many who asserted last night with great gusto that the Utes were escaping and on the reservation are now thoroughly ashamed. An official dispatch states that the militia went into action calmly and fought coolly. When the Utes open ed fire, seven troopers, wit | more pluck than discretion _■ ei. i-g- j ed on them. It is believed by Pray that there will be no more walking after Indians. The Utes will make a standing fight. The fight lasted nil day, August 23. and when the scout courier left at eleven p. m., rifles were still cracking. It is probable that another fight has occurred today (the Sfith). It was expected that the Indians were largely reinforced, but Pray reported at eleven p. m. that victory was with the whites. The troopers, scouts and posse are absolutely on foot with no forage for their horses but sage-brush. Reinforcements are urgently and quickly needed. The fight was forced by tlie Utes. who are aggressive and mean bloody business. The condition of the ranchers who laughed at this “Indian farce” and started for their remote ranches alone down White river, is very pitiable. I expect that ranches on the Glenwiod and Meeker road will be raided any Moment, as there is nothing to prevent it We may now look for Indian murders on small parties of railroad graders, timber cutters, prospectors, surveyors, camping parties and every small unprotected bunch of whites everywhere. The Indians usually travel seven-ty-five to one hundred miles daily, stealing fresh horses as the^ go Arid killing the exhausted ones to prevent them falling into the hands of the enemy. They can subsist on raw meat alone, and this is wbat makes it so hard for men t» follow and overtake them on one mount. Till later news comes from the front 1 can not predict whether the Utes will follow the policy of a running and raiding fight or not. W hate Ter the remit of their fight may be, it must be remembered the troops have had nothing to eat for two and one-half days, and their horses are all played out. Besides this,, there were so few of them and so many of the enemy. Those who know the country claim the fight occurred only about fifteen miles from the reservation lines, and that the country is very broken and full Olt deep ravines and gullies. Opinions of people here at Meeker vary greatly. A great many think the Uteu were on their way to the reservation and there would have been no fight if they bad been left alone. Others declare that the Indians were nearer the reservation at the time than is stated in the last report.

A Kali road Land Cam. Cairo, UL, Aug. *.—Southwestern Missouri is in a treaty of excitement over the railroad land question which lately has developed some most remark tble features. Many years ago a man name! Millar, living in Blodgett, Mo^ purchased a large plat of land from the Iron Mountain railroad, which be occupied, without molestation fora long period. Tar some reason net known to the public the railroad people endeavored in various ways to rid themselves of Miller, finally issuing an order of ejection. Miller at last was induced to write President Cleveland, explaining fully the circumstances by which he came into possession of the property. An answer was received in due time advising Miller to retain possession of the lands at nil hazards, stating fur__by reason of the fail ire of the railroad to keep certain contracts with they had forfeited nil title to ihem and that the Government right and title _ <H m tracts in possession of (he nullroad company were subject to registration and occupation by bona fide settlers. He same as any other government Iinds. The news spread lihe prairie fire, and it is said that settlers are rushing into Southern;! Missouri and squattingIn the fttest land, in the State. Tbere are thousand s of ecros of land under this settlement cf the cane which will be taken possession of by He An Irish Parliament. Loxdor, Aug. 29.—Sow that the government's majority has dwindled to seventyeight, and all signs point toward a retain to power at the Gladstone-Parnell alliance, attention is again directed tadhe question of an Irish parliament. A great deal of discussion may be looked for during the next few months as to what is the best form of such a body, for a Gladstoninn victory means home rile, .and home rale almost certainly implies n Dublin parliament sooner ■» later, whenever makeshifts and substitutes may intervene.

CLEVELAND AND PENSJON& Uktl the B«iow»IKi litoldiinttot . Baa Pa— tar the T<*«mia Now that Certain Msttherskires of the Tuttle-Paipehild strip*! are seeking to transform the Grand Array of the Republic into! a Republican partisan machine, by assailing President Cleveland’s record for the purpose of showing that he is an enemy of the veteran soldier, it becomes a patriotic duty to present the fact to the public so that every veteran soldier may appreciate the ineffable seoundrelism of those who would obscure the truth for the sake of partisan ends. An official document has been issued which will enable all who want to know the truth to comprehend at a glance what Mr. 'Cleveland’s Administration has done ter the Unicu soldier in regard to pensions and positions. It is stated that “aninvesligatorwith a keen regard for figures has gone over the statutes of the United States Pension Bureau, and by actual count has made np these statistics regarding the Pension office business, which shed clear light on that part of President Cleveland’s Administration.” These figures, as to private pension acts, are of a character to silence all adverse criticism. They force the conclusion that Mr. Cleveland has stood ready to sign every meritorious claim for pension.

Sen* ator Sherman, in Ms Springfield (ill) speech, deliberately spoke of the Goveminent at Washington as the Confederate Government, and, ghoul-like, violated the graves of the dead past. The warm, enthusiastic invitation of the eitinens of St. Louis to the President of the United States to visit them caused Tuttle, an Iowa Republican leader, to prostitute the position he occupied in the Grand Army of the Republic to the basest partisan ends, by threatening the President with personal violence if he should visit that city. The offer ol Adjutant-General Drum, a Republican, to return to the various States the battle-flags stored in the Wsr Department, caused another Republican leader, Fairchild, to curse the President in the most blasphemous The Republican leaders and their organs, by their incessant efforts to tear open the wounds of the civil war and to promote disunion, are the only rebels of the present dsy. Tney can nek realise the spirit of the age, but live in the past and persist in their, fruitless and disloyal Srork of breed? ing hate.

an-Foraker rMk«t jn Ohio u,\ ..cling so much attention aniohg the collar-button Republicans of the East that it is not going out of the way to say that these two lively partisans have struck the key-note of th« nekt Republican campaign. The remarks of these men are taken up by the Philadelphia Bulletin, which. In a general way, is a mild newspaper. Referring to the votes of the negro at the South, the Bulletin remarks that ••by virtue of the exmeuco 01 inese rotes, the Democrats hold thirty-eight seats in the electoral college and about twenty-four seats in Congress.” To this aad announcement the Bulletin adds this heart-rending reflection: •‘No thougbUor nan can contemplate this mat power which Southern politicians possebb without concern, tt will be on* ol the moet interesting question* et the ttttiue bow the South can be compelled to abandon this advantage, aad how this inert, ignorant aad hetpleas popalatleo oan be made ha active, intelligent aad nntrammeled force la tnerclaiag the right el traaebise.'' It is a pity that the Republicans should be compelled to chew this bitter cud, but chew it,they must. Rampant Republicans like the editor of th. Bulletin should have thought of these things before. We submit that it is a little late in the day for Republican partisans to be inquiring in public how the “inert, helpless and ignorant” negro voters ‘can be made an active, intelligent and untrammeled force in exercising the right of franchise. This momentous question should have been asked when tho proposition to confer the privileges of suffrage on tfcojaegTo was debatable. This proposition Is no longer debatable The negroee have tbs privileges of the ballot, and, in the South, they are not exercising it In the Interest of the Republican party. This is where the <hoe pinches. This is where the tronhl arises. I Wh*t i» the remedy! Well, His per fectly plain, but only a few blunt Republicans dare to mention it. There is Ingalls, for instance. Ingalls doesn’t hesitate to say that negro suffrage is a delusion and a snare, aad h$ is bold enough to say the privilege should be taken away from them. But to what end? Only that the Republican party may thus cripple the solid Sooth. Very well; we admire the frankness o:l Mr. Ingalls, bat it is too late to tugn back now.—Atlanta Constitution.
