LONDON, May y "A communication from
the Russian Government defines the
scope OF the arbitration. II IL not 10 In
clude tho military question, but only
the consideration OF explanations
with reference 10 the alleged Viola
ton OF the convention. The terms OF
the arrangement indicate that the arbltra
tors function will be 10 find u formula OF
concllatlon consistent with tho amour pro.
pro OF both sides, Emperor william Will
bc asked 10 act M arbitrator, and II Is ex-
pected that he will consent.
LONDON, May b.-In the House OF Com.
mons, this afternoon, Mr.. Gladstone In an
sW T 10 questions stated that Sir Peter
Lumsden the British Afghan Boundary
Commissioned, and Colonel Stewart had
been ordered 10 como home immediately,
nv. Gladstone was asked how II was that
Sir Peter Lumsden was recalled from the
Afghan frontier BY England az Gen.
eral KomaroG was retained there
by Russia, aud II these faota
would not indicate confession OF
wrong on England's side In the Afghan
dispute, Mr.. Gladstone stated there was
no relation between the cases OF Sir
Peter Lumsden aud General Komaroii
The lattor was not recalled because he
was In command OF tho Russian
forces, while Sir Peter had been en-
ployed In purely civil capacity, Sir
Peter Lumsden, the Premier Sald, had not
been recalled but had been consulted on
tho subject aud In conformity with his
own views had been requested u
return 10 England, As II had been
decided 10 carry on In London the
tuuWc unlcdl Ons wit Russia about
y main points In the AZ ,hOn frontier,
9th Sir Peter Lunsden aud Colonel Stew
art had JGcn directed 10 come 10 London.
HJSnoS, May b-The Standard, com.
m mtlng on Mr. GlOdsl0ncs speech In the
House Of Commons, last evening, on tho
Afghan question, says; "No doubt Ia now
entertained that tho arrangement between
England and Russia Includes tho surrender
of pcnjdph 10 Russia, The statement re-
gardIng the cosslon Of Pen doh tO Russia,
published In the Standard April lb turns
out TO have been accurate although the
Government pronounced tho report unau
thorIzcd.'
The Globe Of to-day says that tho 80
called adjustment OF the Anglo-Russian
dispute n u poor shift which amounts prao
tcally 10 nothing more than truce fol
avcrtlng collision, and which Will result
In nothing but transfer OF the difficulty
from Gladstones shoulders TO those OF hli
successors.
LONDON, May b.-Tho moderate papert
and the public In general are Inclined 10 ap'
prove tho present plan OF settlement ~ |,
will allow England time In which To- put hel
army and navy In perfect lighting order
for a final struggle which tho majority
believe 10 DO certain 10 occur Th,
only fear expressed Is that the Government
can nE sufficiently bind Russia 10 a solemn
agreement not 10 advance beyond th,
frontier which, when settled, Is ex
pected 10 leave Zulhkar and Meruchap
within the Afghan lines. The Vienna No,i,
Freie Press prints Copenhagen telegram
which says that England and Russia have
chosen the King Of Denmark 10 arbllrato
FOR hcm. Nhs report Is most probabl,
premature, There Isl sudden suhldenct
OF reports In tho papers of arnaments botl
here and IN Russia but preparations viii
probably continue on both sides, They VII
DO less hurried, but for that very reason VIII
be conducted on more solid footing,
