ernor of the Caucasus, Gen, Dondou-
kOtf korsakoff, has returned TO Tiflip.
The tone OF the Russian press con-
iinuca extremely bellicose. The open
declaration is made that Russia in
tends TO have Herat. Novoe Vremya
(newspaper) calls the approaching
meeting of Lord Duflerin aud the
ameer of Afghanistan military de-
monstration on the Russian frontier.
'Russia and England" the writer
continues, "will soon meet on dry
land, and the result will be that the
isolated security hitherto enjoyed by
the British empire will be destroyed"
READY TO ENTER HERAT.
London, March 13.-Advices from
Tchcran state that Sir Peter Lums-
den is encamped on Persian territory,
not far from Herat, in the expectation
that he will enter Derat in case the
Russians make any further advance.
wARLIKE SOUNDS.

A PEEP AT RUssIA's HAND.
Paris March l3.-Baron Mahercn-
helm, Russian ambassador, has been
interviewed in regard to the present
Anglo Russian situation. lie express
es the opinion the Emperor William
would exert his influence to avert war
aud also endcavor TO induce England
to make some concessions. lie scout
ed the idea that Russia would with
draw her troops from positions at
present occupied. Such action would
reflect dishonor upon the Russian
arms. In case England did not de-
clare war IL was certain, in his opinion,
Russia would not do so. He thought
it extremely unlikely England would
declare war, as she has her hands full
already. DE Gieres, the Russian prime
minister, is animated by desire for
peace. The influence of the war party
in Russia has diminished since the
death of Gen. Skobelof.
ANOTHER DECLINE IN CoNsoIs.

commons this afternoon Gladstone
announced an agreement had been
arrived at between Russia and Eng
land by the terms of which neither
Russian nor Afghan forces would adj
vance any further on the other side OF
the frontier.
Sir Stafford Northcote asked whcth.
er this agreement was a permanent or
temporary arrangement. Gladstone
replied the agreement was without
specific limit. The best description
he could give was that the agreement
was to last as long as there was occa-
sion for it. [Laughter.l This agree
ment provides against the rupture OF
| friendly relations between the tive
governments in the event of collision
between Afghan and Russian out
posts, which might possibly occul
while inntructions were being con
veyed to the opposing commanders.
GERMANY is NOT MEDDLING.
