FOREIGN NEWS.


LONDON, August 27th.-In the House of
Commons this evening, the Marquis Of Hart
ington, Secretary of State for India, said the
Viceroy of India has under consideration the
advisability of maintaining the frontier pre-
scribed by the treaty of Gundamuk. Lord
Harrington also stated that he had received
no confirmation of the alarming Afghan news
of this morning. He had telegraph from
the Viceroy, dated to-day, which makes no
reference to that news.
The Viceroys decision in regard to the
frontier line would be Influenced by the mere
fact of certain territory having been acquired
by the treaty of Gundamuk. In the present
consideration of the question that treaty may
be regarded as having ceased to exist. The
Viceroy is taking the best advice he can get,
and on his report the Government will act
Lord Harrington was not now prepared,
therefore, to state what posts of the Afghan
frontier her Majesty's forces will occupy

Foreign Department, in reply to a question,

sous connected with the Turkish Govern
ment for distribution in India, but before the
steps which her Majesty's Government had
ordered her representatives to take could be
taken, he was informed that the subsidy had
been stopped and the paper would not again
appear.
The hare and rabbit bill was passed by a
