The Submission of the Merv Tribes In

Country.
LONDON, Feb. 15.-The German press
says that the submission of the tribes of
Mery to Russia is worse for England than
the disasters in SOudan. 1t comments
upon the remarkable success of Russia's
policy in Central Asia, and says that it is
always directed against England. If
Russia should stand again before
the walls of Constantinople England
would be disabled from commanding
them to halt as they did in 1873. Russia
will become the immediate neighbOr of the
British in India and will be able at anv
moment to create disturbance in North
eln India. Now only Afghanistan is be-
tween Russia and India. The frontier
tribes are always ready to invade the rich
Indian provinces if only their rear is coy
cred, and this Russia can now guarantee.
