RUSSIANS ZULFICAR.
Lord Randolph Churchill Makes q
Statement in the Commons.

LONDON, July Is - In the House of
Commons this evening Sir John Lub.
book, Liberal, asked If ;be Gosernf1ent
were informed that the Rossisns On the
Afghan from Ter had made an advance
Locd Randolph Churchill, Secretary for
India. replied that rumor had reached
Col. Ridgeway, of the British Afghan
Boundary Comm ssion, and by him had
been transmitted to London, that the
T Russian forces near Z1I6car had be en- in
creased, but 10 what extent was unknown
to the Government. Col. Ridgeway had.
Lord Randolph said, moved the Com
mission out nearer to Herat. WHITTIER he
bad sent Captains Yate and Peacock.
THE ADVANCE
The Times has received special dis.
patch from Jagdorabsten, via Meshed,
July IL, which says II is rumored that
the Russisns have advanced in force to
Z licar Pass and that they are treating
Persian territory as though it was Rus
sian. The dispatch also says that the
British Frontier Commission is moving
nearer to Herat Rsinforcements are ar.
irving at Asksbad. The advance OF the
Russians has made the Aighans anxious,
but they are determined 20 resolutely re-
sist any attempt to seize their territor,
They are puzzled at these warlike prepa-
rations of the Russians under cover OF
pacific assurances. 1t is believed that
Gen. Alkhanoff, the commander of the
Russian advance, is determined to force
on war, and that he is deceiving the
Caar in regard to his real intentions.

BCILyING Inspector Chandler, In
performing the duties Of his office, has
deemed 1t proper to condemn the tower
now being built on the new high school
building, and the architect and con-
tractor are in turn condemning Mr.
Chandler q judgment. Mr.. Chandler
Is q practical carpenter and builder,
aud should and no doubt knows good
job when he sees II. Bat whether
right or wrong his decision should be
respected, at least until it is known for
a surety that the tower is secure. Mr..
Chandler will have no objection, we
presume, to the appointment of com
petent and i'm mpartial committee to ex'
anime the place and pass judgment
upon it. 1t will not do to let such Q
building as this high school be msrred
in its con struction. We have too many
poorly built school houses. One OF
them--back OF McDo owelville-is sc
poorly constructed that 1t is held to-
gether with an iron rod. Others have
leaky roofs and bad plastering. The
city wants no more bad work OF tina
kind. We do not think anybody would
care much if there was no tower upoI

ceive lust as solid an education withou
enc, and the expense would be saved Il

a mechanic suggests that brick should
always be wet before being placed in a
wall. By wetting them the dust and
dry sand are removed, and the mortar
consequently adheres to them more
closely, and the wall is firmer and
stronger. He contends that had the
brick been properly wet before being
placed in the walls of the annex to the
Diamond State rolling mill. the building
would have most probably withstood
the pressure upon il, and valuable lives
would have been saved. In New York
We are told the law requires the wettine
of all brick used in walls, and we there
fore suggest that the matter shall bt
loo ked into by members of Coun III, and
if deemed advisable similar provision
be attached to the law regulating tn,

Free Trade

The Every Evening is a free trade
journal, and it has consequently dis
covered that the great maj ority OF intel
ligent men in this country are free
traders. This Is very complimentary
indeed to the manufacturers and me-
chanics of our city who are protection
ists. According to its logic they must
be ignorant and incapable of under
standing and appreciating their true
| interests.
| For its benefit we will say that col
lape professors are much more likely to
considering the industrial problem, thar
are mechanics and workingmen wht
rely on their labor for living. Th'
prac,ical men who fought tie battles o
the revolutionary war, and framed ou
