The Afghan Pretender-ais Prospects,
 Powers and Relations with Russia.
 LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Times says |:
 In the eyes of the Afghan people Abdul Rahnan Khan, the pretender to the throne of Afghanistan, counts for little but in Turkes- tan, from Balkh to Badakshan, his influence is considerable. He could, doubtless, collect considerable force there, and probably es- tablish his authority temporarily in Afghan Turkestan. The first step has already been taken in such an enterprise by the success of his wife's near relative Mir Baba, who has oustedssShere Ais candidate from Faizabad, and is now the de facto ruler of Badakshan. It is certain that Abdul Rahman will join with him. In Ethis fact lies Rahman's import ance, and his value to Russia depends on the same thing. More than thai, the man who can, without foreign aid, firmly establish his power iu any one part of AfRhanistan is the one that must be taken into serious account, for his influence must become considerable in other parts of the State. He might even as- pire to play the part of national champion, and certainly, with Abdul Rahman in pos session of Baikh and his close ally installed at Faizabad, there would be little peace of mind for any chief of Cabul, even though
 A St. Petersburg dispatch to the Daily News says: s'Abdul Rahman is reported to be at Balkh. Whether the recently report ed understanding between England and Rus sia will survive such blow is a serious ques- tion." 9szzsE1 $ sIe sa-sss- .i. operations or the Herasi Against she

 LONDON, Jan. 5.-A dispatch to the Times from Candahar says: ''The leader of the Herati troops escaped, after their defeat, to Ghorian, near the Persian frontier, where he is collecting forcs to attack the Cabu- lis. who are virtually besiegsd in Herat. The country people attack them whenever they venture out in small parties Fifty troopers, who had gone foraging, were all killed by the villagers. The famine in ths province of Seistan is very severe. The people are selling their children forfood.'

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Meeting of C0ngress-A short Senate
 Session To-Day Busfneas for the
 House.
 WAsHNeToN, Jan. 5--It is not probable that any business will be transacted in the Senate to- morrow. The death of Senator Houston will be announced, and then, in ac- cordance with custom, the Senate will ad- journ out of respect to the memory of de- ceased. In the House there will be the usual call of committees in the morning hour, after which the proposed revision of the rules will be taken up for consideration. The army ap- propriation will probably be reported to- morrow, and the Indian bill will follow du- ring the week. The bill to prohibit federal officers from making contributions for politi- cal purposes will come up Thursday as the special order.

The Con.es. for Thurman,s Seat.

The contest HOT 1nuEm6m'6 Se0ts
 WAsHNeToN, Jan. 5.-The Republican caucus of members of the Ohio Legislature to nominate candidate to succeed Allen G. Thurman in the United States Senate will be held at Columbus tomorrow night. There are four candidates mentioned: General Gar field, ex-Senator Matthews, ex-Attorney Gen eral Taft and ex Governor Dennison. With some there is talk of ex-Governor Young as dark horse. All reports received from Oolum- bus. where the Senatorial fight is now in pro gress, point almost unmistakably to the fact that Garfield will be chosen on the first ball. lot, and will on Tuesday week be formally elected Senator for six years by the Legisla- ture. So confident, indeed, is General Gar field of his selection by the caucus that he is reported to have said that if he were not chosen by the caucus on the first ballot that he would be willing to retire in favor of ex- Senator Matthews. The only one of the others competing for the place who seems to show any strength is Matthews. Being him self Cincinnati man, the delegation from Hamilton county are inclined to support him, but elsewhere he does not show up much strength The Democrats in the Legislature will also hold a caucus tomorrow night, and will give Senator Thurman the compliment of a unanimous nomination.
