The Revolution Complete.

London, 31.-Advices from Chaman
state that Hassim Kahn, with a small
detachment, took possession of Uaudahar
| in Ayoob, Khan's name, July q, without
opposition. Amens, the governor, started
for Cabul the same day. A friendly
message from Ayoob Khan is hourly ex-
pected at Quettah.
London, 1.-TFnleS' Calcutta: 1t is
certain that such of the Ameer's troops
as have not Joined AyOob Khan have
been dispersed and the Ameer's cause is
lost in southern Afghsnistan. The
chances are this week will see Ayoob
Khan in tull march on Cabul. The
Amer may succeed in holding his own
in Afghan Turkistan. The end of the
cival war may see Afghanistan split into
so kingdoms, AyOob Khan being
mater of Cabul Csndahar and Herat,
and AbdLrrah Khsn reigning in Bslk
and Bsdauishsulu. Should this occur
the British government will have
t face 8 serious problem. Alb
darrahnan, separated from US BY
victorious rival, can hardly fail to sink
to the same position as the Khans of
Boka and Khiva and become q tributa.V
of Russia, which will thus probably ad.
vance the Russian frontier to Rindnkush.
while the remainder of Afghanistan will
belong to our avowed enemies. That
England cannot afford to allow events to
arrange themselves in this manner is, I
believe. the unanimous opinion Of the
people of this country. and it is matter
OF general remark that the folly of the
withdrawal If troops from Candahsr and
the hastily patched up settlement made
In Caoul last year have already become
manifest.

publ he'd IN this country that the people
were little acquainted with nihilism,
much less in fact than in England. Il
has been said that l intended to form a

So is the report that Geneva has been the
nihilist centre in Europe.
Have you any fer Of extraditien?
Not the least, replied the nihilist, laugh

in England, while l was there. 1t was
only on my arrival here that it was
raised for the first time. An attempt

we wish is general congress

France and the Porte.

London, 1.-The Morning Post says
We learn from Constantinople that in
conversation between the Grand VizieI
and one of the ambassadors, the former
stated that the Porte was preparing q
Hote on affairs, which would be, to Q GER
tain extent, an answer to the dispatch OF
Earl Granville, foreign secretary, TO
Lord Duferin, British ambassador to
Turkey, which instructed the latter to
advise the Porte TO exercise great pru-
dence in not giving cause for plausible
complaint to France. The note will
point to the danger to which Turkish
provinces are exposed, and to the neces-
sity of taking immediate steps for guar
anteeing order. The Porte, while de-
claring that it will not shrink from full
filling its duty, protests beforehand
against any wrong Interpretation which
France may give to measures which may
be deemed necessary.
