THE AFGHAN QUESTION.
Russia Accepts the Proposals of Earl
Granville.


Granville.
The Pail Mall Gazette states that Russia's
answer to England's proposals on the Afghan
question amounts to a cordial acceptance OF
the proposals NJ made by Earl Granville
British foreign minister. The GGzett! says
that Russia consents to accept as debatable
territory the zone lad out as such by England,
and accepts the principle that the frontier line
shall not be drawn further south than
Karezelios and Chamenibeid or further north
than Shirtepe and Sari Yari. This leaves as
the only point still to be discussed the Rus
slams suggestion that it would be moro practi-
cal if the zone of survey overlapped the rough
ly defined zone of debatable land, in order to
allow for typographical and ethnographical
conditions.
1t is not expected that this suggested extern
sion Of the zone of survey to the south Of the
boundary line run by Mr.. IIessar, the Russian
commissioner appointed to meet Sir Peter
Lumsden, the British commissioner, to arrange
the Afghan boundary dispute, will be serious
enough to cause further difficulty.

London alone absorbs $4,000 tons of
chestnuts yearly, of which France
contributes 5000 tons. The method
of packing is simple: The nuts are
gathered up as they fall, being shelled
and laid in sheds to dry, after which
they are put in bags and baskets and
sent away at once,

council of Wheeling to obtain sep
aration of the counties of Hancock,
Brooke,i Ohio and Marshall from
the State of West Virginia, and
have them attached permanently to
the State of Pennsylvania, to which
they naturally belong. The motion
was favored by nearly every member
of both branches of council. The
people of the Panhandle complain of
the removal of the capital of the State
from Wheeling to Charleston, and
tho denial of the State Legislature
to promote the interests of Wheeling
and its neighborhood from which
ne-sixth of the State taxes is col
lected Ohio county has a score of

Our neighbors of Wellsburg were
visited by one of the most frightful
explosions that mark the introduce
tion of natural gas as fuel. At two
O'Clock on Sunday morning, the gas
exploded in the cellar of John Hell
sey, totally destroying his large and
substantial brick house, and killing
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelsey, two children
and Mrs. Helsey's mother-the entire
family. Two other houses were des-
troyed and at least six persons in
all were killed and several wounded
and MANNED.
The wrecked houses Immediately
took fire and the devouring element
added to the horror of the scene.
$4,000 worth of property was des-
troyed. The explosion shook the
very foundations of the earth. Win
dows were broken and plastering
shaken off in buildings squares away.
The gas had escaped from a main in
the street and worked its way into
the cellars and finally crept to the
upper rooms of Mr.. Helsey's house
and ignited from burning fire. The
calamity is a sad and serious one

ssssssssss sggsstssssssssss


Most of the abuses which have
occurred in the executive depart
ments during the past twenty years
might have been prevented by proper
supervision on the part of high Of
ficials. Numerous chiefs of bu-
reaus or other subdivisions of de-
partmental work have been permitted
to enjoy entire exemption from any
and every kind of control.
From the beginning of President
Grants first term to this time there
has been growing laxity of discip-
line. Too many Cabinet officials
have neither known or cared to know
anything about their duties. They
have absented themselves from their
departments much of their time,
looking to their own personal inter
ests, and when in Washington have
been but mere figureheads.
The true theory of public service
is that from the President of the
United States down to the humblest
employe, each shall set good exam
pie for his subordinates.
If there is neglect of duty or care
less indifference in high quarters, it
exerts bad influence on all below.
If heads of departments absent
themselves for long periods and
show promptness and energy only
in drawing their salaries. how can it
be expected that subordinates will
be called upon to give To those under
them a better example and more
faithful supervision than they re-
ceive?
Every official is a servant of the
people, and no official has any right
to privileges or perquisites not named
in the statutes. The clerks in the
departments have their annual leave
of thirty days, and this should be
enough for their superiors.
If we are ever to have thorough
reform of the service, it must begin
on top and work downward. The
country will look for such begin
ming of reform under the administra-
ton of President Clevcland.-W Wash
ington Post.

GRANT SINKING.
The General Slowly but Surely
Entering the Dark Shadow.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. pa special
to the Times from New York, based
on reliable medical authority, says:
Notwithstand the rose-colored report
Of General Grants health recently
given in the Medical Journal, the
truth is 9eneral Grant is a very sick
man, and his death is apparently not
far distant The public have no
conception of the shattered condition
of his physical system. 1t is
hoped the affection of the tongue may
not prove fatal, but there is as yet no
appearance that it is not develop
ment of malignant and fatal dis
ease Although somewhat better now
than some weeks ago, the enlarged
and infamed tongue continues, max
ing it painful to speak or swallow
fluids, the only nourishment he can
take
In addition to this distressing
malady General Grant is a terrible
sufferer from neuralgia, and it seems
to have taken possession of his whole
system. He has had most of his
teeth drawn to lessen the neuralgia
torture, and his injury in his hip,
caused by his fall a year ago, is still
source of great suffering and for
bid sphysical exercise.
1t is fact that should no long
er be concealed from the coun-
try that General Grant is rapid
ly breaking down and apparently
without hope of reaction, and unless
there should be some unexpected re-
lief he will not be long among the
living. He is wonderfully patient
and accomplishing, and he profound
ly appreciates the expressions OF
sympathy which have been called out
by his recent appalling misfortunes.
He works every day with bandaged
head, and in unremitting pain to
finish his military biography, or his
tory of the war, and hopes to com
plete it this spring. The first vol
ume is entirely finished, but not re-
vised, and the second volume is more
than half done. He has not taken
time to revise the first volume be-
cause of his apprehension that be
may not be able to finish his second.

GRAFTON, February 27.-Vice-
President Hendricks received an ova-
ton here this morning as he passed
through to Washington. The band
was out and played patriotic airs.
Hendricks was asleep when the train
arrived, but promptly arose and
went through a general hand-shak-
ing with all present. The train only
laid here few minutes, and he had
no time to make speech, although in
a few remarks he referred to the
gallant Democracy of this State in
flattering terms amid cheers and
much enthusiasm.
A NARROW ESCAPE
He met with a very narrow escape
from death two miles east of Park
ersburg about o'clock this morning.
He was on a special train, accompan-
led by General Superintendent Glenn
ents. Train 1SS had orders to lay
at Kanawha Station for both sections
of No. 5, but from some oversight, it
pulled out after the first section had
passed. The track is level and the
enginewas running at lightning speed
when engineer Penn, of Hendrick s
train, saw the approaching head
light and by prompt action succeed
ed in reversing his engine and bring
ing it to a standstill with the cow
catchers almost touching.
Superintendent Clements appalled,
at the narrow escape, discharged On
the spot the whole crew of train 1SS
1t was a close call and the country
has cause for congratulation.-Reg
