AFGHAN's BoUNDARY LINE.
M. de Giers states on What Terms He
VIII Sign Convention.

LONDON, May 1i.-COl. Alikhanotf, who
commanded the Russians in their attack
on Pendieh, remains at Merry with 1000
troops. The Russians have two battalions
of infantry and 800 cavalry, with two
batteries at Sarakhs. They have strong
outposts at Pul-l-Khatdn and zuldkar.
The negotiations which have been re-
sumed in London between Russia aud
England respecting the Afghan question
are making satisfactory progress. Some
further explanations are still necessary
from both sides before a ratification of the
general agreement already reached can
be secured, but il is not believed that
these will delay the final adjustment.
NJ. Lessar, Chief of the Russian Com
mission on the Afghan frontier question,
expects to be at any moment instructed
To proceed forthwith TO Asia TO assist In
the work of dellmiting the frontier.
GLADSTONE ON THE NEGOTIATIONS.
In the House of Commons this afternoon
Premier Gladstone stated that he did not
know whether Russia's answer concern
ing the Afghan frontier agreement reach
ed by Lord Granville, the Earl Of Kim
berly, Baron de Staal and NJ. Lessar, and
submitted to the Gear for approval, had
] J
between the two governments continue,
said Mr.. Gladstone, and the government
were unaware of any further Russian
advance, the latest kilograms received
making no mention of any advance.
DE GTERs' LATEST DEMAND.
Baron de staal and NJ. Lessar renewed
the frontier discussion with Earl Gran
vile and Mr. Currie, on demand Of Nj. dc
GieTs for reconsideration. The latter
wants the boundary line liked at the en-
trance TO Hultlcar pass and to include
Andkhui, and he agrees to sign a cOnven-
tiOn when the details are settled. Much
irritation is felt over this in the Foreign
Office, but the reciidcaton demanded is
not considered Of sufficient Importance TO
lead to "A rupture Of negotiations.
THE SITUATION DECLARED GRAVE.
| LONDON, May Is, 3A.M-The Standard
in an editorial says: "To speak plainly,
the drift of the AngiO-Russian agreement
which was sent 30 st. Petersburg for ap-
proval Is found to be almost wholly unac-
/ ceptable TO the Cars ministers. Though
| not formally rejected IL has been so thor
| Oughly condemned that practically IL has
ceased TO be an agreement. There Is
| something vastly more serious Lhan a
hitch in the proceedings. We are back
in February again, the situation being
only altered TO our disadvantage"
The Times Calcutta correspondent de.
nies that there has been stoppage o
military preparations In India. He says
that all rnmors to tbat feet are untrue.
The StdBddrd believes that Russia def.
nitely declines to sanction the proposals
regarding the Afghan frontier Just sub
mitted for approval by England.

The Manufacturers and Amalgamated
Association Fail to Agree.
PITTsBURG, PA, MAY 14.-The scale
conference of represent atives Of the Iron
Manufacturers and Amalgamated As
sociation met here this morning, and after
a brief session adjourned sine die without
having reached an amicable settlement
of the question OF wages. Both sides
were determined to stand by their propo-
siuons, and the only concession made
was withdrawal by the Amalgamated
Association of 20 per cent. extra de-
manded for steel nails. The scale
of the manufacturers as pre-
sented demands reduction of from
20 TO % per cent. on the present scale. 1t
also provides that in case the iron card
rate declines below ~ cents per pound,
wages shall fall in the same proportion,
and also that the agreement may be ter
minated in go days, instead Of running for
year, as heretofore. The proposition
was Immediately rejected by the work
mems representatives and the meeting
adjourned. The only recourse now is 10
call another conference, unless a strike or
lockout has already been determined
upon. The members Of the Amalgamated
Association held session this afternoon.
LABOR CHAMPION.
A. W. Potter. President Of the South
Chicago Rolling Mills, has written a let
ter 10 the Pitlsburg iron workers relative
TO the wages question. He takes an eu-
trely different view of the question from
the Pittsburg manufacturers, and says
that he can see no good reason why the
wages Of iron workers should be reduced.
Mr.. Potter admits the depl0rable state
OF the trade, and is willing 10
confess that there Is no money at
present in the iron business, bat he does
not place the blame upon the w0rkmen's
shoulders. RulnOus competition aud the
cutting Of prices below the cost Of pro-

assigns as one OF the reasons OF the pres.
ent low prices. Mr.. Potter takes the

early this morning that Gen. Grant fell
into a slumber, superinduced by an extra
quantity Of morphine. This morning he
awoke feeling a little easier, butnot at all
improved in his general condition. DR..
Douglas statement means simply that
the General is not progressing in the same
ratio as hitherto. The weather has a very
depressing effect on the Generals spirits.
BAD WEATHER THE CAUSE.
DR.. Douglas saw Gen. Grant this after
noon. When the doctor left the house he
said: ''Hhe disease is still there of course,
but the increased pain Of the lastt two days
has been not so much the result of an
increase of the disease as it has of neu-
ralgic complications induced by the
fearful weather of this week. The General
is better to-day. He looks brighter, and
has this afternoon been working easily
upon his book"

day of George T. Jackson ,'late President

dent Jackson's term as President, testi-
fed that the checks drawn against the
cOmpany's account for Mr.. JacksOn's pri-

yate ticket. The defalcation commenced
IN 1879, and In October, 1892, the amount
bad reached $4,000 Checks were made out

pay the money back. He did not draw
his salary during this time, nor did he de-
etroy the checks as from time TO time they

were made to give President Jackson
time to pay up. The witness bad received
! $4,000 OF the cOmpany's funds, which

sponsible for in recognition Of what the
