This case must be disposed of before the cases pending in the Utah courts against polygamy can be dispesed of.

All Afghanistan Arising, and One Hundred Thousand Foes Closing in Around the Doomed City. General ' Roberts’ Advance Checked by the Enemy. Special dispatch to The Gee. Losvox, August 26.—4 p. m—The news from Afghanistan is creating a fresh_and profound semsation. Pri- vate, telegrams, received here from Quotiak and Bombay, bring intelli- gonee which more than justifies the worst- interpretations put upon the mixed and. oontradictory dispatches received through official sources. It now apbears that Ayoob Khan'a forces have been tremendously strenithened and the valleys around the besieged city of Candahar are TEEMING WITH WARRIORS. Tt is estimated that Ayoob Khan as- sembled not loes than 100,000 fol- lowera most of whom are well armed. The - appesrance of this host though the whole country had risen ata signal and gathered to make the oserthrow of Candahar, and the annihilation, of the English garrison, and its native allies sure. Friendly ranmers and spies have braught mews to Quettah that Ayoob's cavalry has desolated the line of Gen. Roberts’ advance by burning the grass, which afforded the only pro- vender for his animals, while another Body is continualiy WORRYING HIS FLANKS by making attacks from wayside po- sitions where the advantage is wholly with the Afghans and they ean inflict serious losses while not suffering themselves Tho continual harassments are said to have weakened the relieving column to a consider- able degice and greatly demoralized and discouraged the troops. As pre- dicted in these dispatches yesterday it is doubtful whether General Roberts reaches Candahar at all in eondition toaid its defense. With the best of fortune he has, at least, three or fonr weeks additional march before him, and it can scarcely be success- fully made in the facs of the diffical- ties und oppesition which now are thickening around him. A later dispatch from Simla states that A PITCHED BATTLE has taken placo between General Roberts’ column and a largo Af- ghan dotail at Gundizar, a point between Khelat, Ighilzai and Canda- har, Ayoob Khans action in inter- rupting Gen. Roberts approach is said to have been most energetic and dis- played muca skill and perfect know- ledge of the topography of the coun- try, In government circles it is sought to. belittle this news, but it has leaked out that the war office has received depressing intelligence, details of which are held back awaiting confirma- tion. At the Candahar bombardment the Afghan artilery is said to be mo effectively served than at the begin- ning of the sicge, and Russian officers are declared to have been detected in- cegnito directing the operations.
