THE LIBERAL REPUBLICANS are to have a

war against Khiva on the ground of troubio
and expense. These present difficulties, which
must cost Russia both men and money, seem
to justify this view Of the case. Now Russia
must remain and make good her position or
retire and lose her prestige. With Europe
armed to the teeth, and with Germany eager
for conquest and pressing close upon her,
it will not be wonderful if her Asiatic con-
quests should cost Russia too much.

Sir Samuel Baker to Visit America.

Sir Samuel Baker to Visit America.
The Liberator of Central Africa, Sir Samuel
Baker, has accepted the invitation of the
American Geographical Society to visit
America during the summer season of 1874.
His distinction as an explorer and humani-
tartan and his wide fame as the only Anglo
Saxon who has ever led large military expe-
dition into the heart Of Africa will insure him
a cordial reception from the American people.
Sir Samuel Bakers has been one Of the most
remarkable careers of the present century. As
the elephant hunter Of Ceylon, as the dis
coverer of the Albert Nyanza as the COM
panion of the Hamran sword-hunters Of
Abyssinia, as one Of that circle of brave men
who have travelled extensively and who know
how to tell and write what they have seen, he
has received the homage of the most appre-
ciative patrons of courage, endurance and
intellect. Of late years there has been a
romance about his explorations, in that they
have been shared by heroic wife, who has
been his most powerful ally at all times of
danger and difficulty. She, too will visit our
shores, and we feel assured that all America
will extend to husband and wife q generous
and hearty welcome

Central Asia-Another Devastating War.
We print this morning despatch, special
to the HERALD, dated Tashkend, September 10,
to the effect that another great war has broken
out in Central Asia. The state of affairs in
Turkestan seems to be strangely, even wildly,
confused. In Khokan, one of the three Khanates
of Central Asia, civil war is said to be raging.
Among the Tnrcomans in the deserts around
Khiva the fighting is general and of the most
obstinate character The Afghans have got
into trouble with the Persians, and a danger
ous intrigue is being carried on with the Emir
of Bokhara The excitement has spread not
only over the whole of Turkestan, it has
reached the borders Of the Chinese Empire,
and Yakub Bey, of Kashgar, is involved in
what may prove to be serious struggle with
the Children of the Sun. According to our
despatch the whole region known as Central
Asia is in state of decentralization. The late
war against Khiva seems to have reused the
barbarian tribes of those high latitudes out
of their lothargy and from the bor-
ders Of Persia to the Chinese frontier
the war spirit finds free and full
expression. Sucn IS the state OF things
that our correspondent ventures the statement
that Russia will find it necessary to do to
Bokhara what she has done to Khiva-con-
quer and permanently occupy. 1t will be
observed from all this that, while the trouble
is of the most serious character and deeply
concerns the future of Central Asia, it does
not imply any immediate difficulty with the
two great Western Powers-Great Britain and
Russia. That coming conflict" is not yet.
Great Britain looks on patiently, but deter
minedly. Russia has to do now in Asia what
England did one hundred years ago-keep
what she has won. Afghanistan is the grand
northern barrier wall of the British Empire in
India and until Afghanistan is touched
England has no cause to fight Some of the
best Russian generals were opposed to the
