Afghan Frontier the Point at Issue
Between England and Russia.

LONDON, March ll.-Dispatches received
attheWar Office this afternoon confirm
the reports Of the Russian advance into
Atghanistan. Instead Of Withdrawing their
troops northward, as requested by Eng.
land, the Russians have pushed further
southwark, and a collision between them
and the Afghan advance posts may occur
at any moment. s.'1a
Another dispatch says: Financial cir
cles are excited over official reports re-
ceiyed this afternoon confirming the re.
port published in the Times this morning
to the effect that Russian troops have ad-
yanced further into Afghan territory. The
Russian Government admits such a move
ment has taken place but asserts 1t was
only intended for the purpose of seeking a
more suitable position in case Of war with
Afghanistan. Il is generally believed that
both Afgllans and Russians are hurryinR
forward, and Collision is imminent. Bri-
ish consols have fallen ll.l6 of percent
and Russian securities 9 percent in conse-
quence Of the above news.
The Russian Government in reply to in.
quiries by Earl Granville, Minister Of
Foreign Affairs, admits that the advance
OF the Russian column in Afghanistan has
not been checked, but asserts that the
is not intended as menace to
England and that the troops have been
pushed further south in order that thew
may reach more suitable position for
camping purposes. These evasive state
ments from st. Petersburg are looked upon
in diplomatic circles in London as being
bareiaced attempts to gain time. All con.
tidence appears 70 have been destroyed by
the latest 1sussiand ndispatchesan and war risnow
looked upon as certain. The most active
military preparations are in progress both
in England and India and troops are being
hurried forward by both sides with q
haste which leaves no room whatever for
doubt as to the critical turn which the
have taken in the pasttwenty-
four hours. 1t is even rumored In SOME
quarters that parieying between England
and Russia has already ceased, and that
nothing now remains but an appeal to
arms, - q. =

more or less animosity for some time past
between Governor (Marmaauke,t ofs this
State, and Major O. @. Rainwater, prom
inent citizen Of 81. Louis, and the possible
Democratic candidate for Mayor OF this
city, has just assumed another and very
bitter phase, and one likely to attract gen

nature Of Robert O. Pate, o awell-knoyn
horseman aud keerar OF keno rooms IN

was that the money was for the benefit ot
L. Harrigans Chief Of Police, OF this city,
and Major Bainwater, who was then eAec-
utiye officer Of the Board OF Police Com
missjoaers. To-day Major. Rainwater pub
fishes an open letter TO Governor Marma-
duke, in which he treats thematteriu the
most bitter and scathing terms, denounoes
the affidavit as most infamous lie, and
believes that those who read II will agree
