The conditions of peace III Afghanistan
which are defined in dispatch from Lahore
indicate that England is determined to keep
whatshe caDand give away the rest to her East
ern allies The Cabul and Candahar districts
are to be converted into dependencies of the
British Crown and garrSOned by native leyies
under English officers, while Hcrat and Seis-
tan are to be handed over to Persia, and
other portions of Afghan territory are to be
annexed to Khelat and Cashmere. The Indian
Government, moreover, is inclined to trans
form Merv which is the objective point of
the Russian advance in Central Asia, into a
state under an Anglo-Persian guarantee. The
last proposition is simply pIepOSterOus. Even
the elastic imagination OF the giddiest
lingo in London would recoil from such
vagary as an Anglo-Persian prOtecto-
rate of Merv. The other terms Of
peace are less unreasonable. The moral
obiquity of the general policy of partition
requires no demonstration. But this is not
the only Russian method which has been
adopted in England's Poland. Prisoners OF
war have been condemned to death by the
invading army, and the halter and the lash
have been constantly III use as instruments OF
intimidation. Our special cable dispatches an
nounee that Frederic Harrison declines to
accept the plea which General Roberts has
offered in his own defence. but reiterates the
terrible charges which have shocked the moral
sensibilties of every EnGlishman with we'll
regulated conscience. This is doubtless as
forcible an arragnment Of mJustiiable and
wickea warfare as John M0rlcy's Story of
the Zulu War" compiled from the blue
books.

Landlords have begun unusually early 20 fix their
rents Cor the year commencing on the 1st Of MAY,
and many tenants have already been mace uncOm-
foIteble bv notices of an advance on the present
rates Uptown dwellings are held tirmcr than they
have bccu AT any slime for several years aud owners
seem TO have come % the conclusion that the de-
maud for them Is going t. be 50 brisk that they will
command higher prices The same idea prevails
among the owners of the better cassc, Of hat and
apartment houses. When tenants argue that the
elevated railways have opened extensive districts
on The upper part Of the island which rapidly
being covered with buildings, landlords reply that
more people are coming in from the suburban
towns than can find room in these new districts. and
that tire new buildings do no more than provide for
the increase in the population of the city itself.
general rise in rents will bring serious trouble 10
thousands Of families who live upon salaries and
fixed incomes which they cannot hope to increase,
but the question is not of sentiment or rhilan-
thropy. but ot demand and supply. If the demand
for dwellings should prove TO he great rs the
landlords anticipate, higher rates VIII inevitably
follow. Perhaps the burden to people of small
means will be- lghtened by the end of another
year. by still more extensive building operations
around and above Central Park, by the extension
of the elevated roads above Harlem River and by
the opening of an elevated line from Fulton Ferry
TO the far eastern suburbs of BROOKLYN.

Competitions which do not lead to any
practical result are not to be commended.
The model schoOl-house prizes have been
awarded by a committee which cOnfesses that
none of the plans submitted by the architects
fulfil the requirements of sanitary school
building The members who unite III making
the awards for plans which they cannot
recommend for adoption in this city assert
that the conditions imposed by the cOmpetl-
ton rendered a satisfactory solution OF
the problem utterly impossible. Doubtless
the well-meaning gentlemen who offered the
prizes and organized the competition will
affirm that they wished to demonstrate that
model school building could not be
constructed under the conditions proposed.
They offered an explanation of similar pur-
port when the committee on the tenement-hOuSe
awards decided that n model home for work
ing people could not be built on an ordinary city
lot. This, thev declared, was the very point
when they nd been anxious 10 prove. The
young architects who send their plans and
drawings to such competitions will not be
pleased with so indirect method of pro-
cedure.

. FREDERICK EMERSON is a spiritualist medium of fame in New England. In a seance at Meriden, while professedly in a trance, he asked Mrs. Hale to let him hold her diamond ring-or at least the spirit of an Indian chief speaking through him, made the request. Mrs. Hale handed him the ring and did not get it back, for the medium took it with him to Hartford On being arrested he said he knew nothing about the dia- mond, but if placed in dark room, where he could go into trance, he thought the spirits would reveal where it was. The policeman remarked that probably there was quicker way, and searched Emerson's pockets in which the ring was discovered.

Good Hotels.

Hotel accommodations for travellers are of the greatest importance to persons who have to move about the .ountry on busi- ness. "Just where to go" is what every man wants to know when he leaves home. The Grand Union Hotel, opposite Grand Central Depot, New York City, is very popular resort, because the attendance there is pros,pt and satisfactory. The charges are reasonable and the nseuage complete; try it. Families can live better for less money at the Grand Union Hotel than at any ether first-class Hotel in the city. Be careful to see that Grand Union Hotel is on the sign where you enter. +ta....fa. ...tt ..-.t

Paria Authnritx.

A Paris authority on American affairs tells the following truthful story about an adventur that befell the dar cer San galli: Once, when a manageress of a
 traveling circus in the wilds of Ohio, she
 was suddenly attacked by band of saw aSe'Siotix Indians, led by the redoubta- ble Sitting BulLsG Everybody fled, and
 all was consternation and despair, many
 persons being drowned in the Amazon. Suddenly this heroine sprang upon an unsaddled horse, rallied around her F. T. lBarnum and few others of her em- ployes, and, with revolver in hand, attacked and dispersed the murderous red devils. Kansas City rewarded her
 with commemorative medal, and Col. Buffalobill, of Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan's staff, knelt at her feet and offered her his hand and fortune" "adi feff tlrR ni

2 Albania isa long and comparatively
 wide strip of terntory stretching along the coast of the Adriatic Sea and reach ing downt to the Greek frontier. It's. re- latiofis to Turkey has always been what that of the Highlandsw to Scotland linthe palmy days of the clans. Roughly speaking, the northern half is inhabited by the Grecqles and the southern half by the Tosks. Both sGrecques and Tosks, although bound by mutual hatred of each other, are split up into clans who are always quarrelling. Some ot the Grecque clans are Mahometans and others Catholics, whereas some of the Tesk clans are of the Greek Church and others Mahometans. As rule, the
 Mahometan clans have adopted that re- ligion to show their dislike to the neigh-
 boring Christian clan, and they would once adopt Christianity were they to see their interest in doing So. The Grecques have always regarded the Austrians as their friends, and the Tosks have con- sidered themselves. to certain extent,
 the allies of the Greeks. A united AL
 bania is impossible, for both Tosks and Grecques abominate each other. The Montenegrins could not, or would not, raise sufficient corn for their require ment, and therefore are in the habit of making raids into the Albanian valleys When the Turks agreed to cede certain
 portions of Albanla to the Montenegrins they were perfectly aware that they were ceding what practically did not be- long to them, and the eession could only be effected by conquest. As Austria wishes to obtain eventually Salonica, it is possible that she might consent to an independent Albania, because she is fully aware that before six months were over the .Grecques and the .Tosks would be fighting, and that the former would call her to their aid. s1 8&fNNfa1 nA@ co
