ent Of the London Times, Mr. Jennings, published
little book in London entitled Eighty Years OF

the contempt OF home rule and State rights shown
In the radical reconstruction laws, and said with
much emphasis ga settlement of this kind can
never be deemed permanent" The same writer
commented at length upon the violations OF the
constitution and oi constitutional principles which
marked the general policy OF tho repuo can party.

have ever lived chiefly depended for the perms-
and the universal obedience to the constitution

has long been thought that Russia merely IA
vored the establishment OF settlement at Kras-

operations In the South. and that Herat was the
object Of conquest. This belief was founded
on the fact that the route from Krasno wodsk to
the Amou Darya offers great many obstacles TO
commerce, by reason the weary way through
the desert. The dificulties OF that journey have,
it is alleged, been grossly exaggerated, and that
they exist, In point OF fact. only during the hot and
dry season. The direct road from Krasnowodsk to
the banks OF the Anon Darva comprises distance
versed by present means in less than twenty days.
The entire district on this road has been explored,
and the nvestlgatrSns, made by engineers In
charge OF the project for constructing caravan
