force to those West virginians whose

Nov the tale Of suffering is told again

LONDON, March 2S.-Rumors have pre-
vailed to-day of bad faithson the partfei
the Ministry, that the calling out Of the
rescrvesis merely ruse to lull the suspi-
cions Of the Conservatives, and that the
reports Of phenomenal activity in pre-
pairing naval vessels for service have been
secretly prompted by the Admirality.with
view Of frightening Russia If possible,
and at the same time popularizing the
Government with the masses, who are
red not for war. Il is asserted in high
quarters that Mr.. Gladstone has never
dreamed OF going to war in the last resort,
but will, when no longer able to continue
this game Of bluff, have recourse TO the
doubling tactics so often pursued Il
late in dealing with foreign questions,
and that England is to be again treated
to humiliation as much greater than the
Gordon episode as the scene OF that dis
graceful drama Is inferior In importance
to Russia and her Asiatic dependencies.
The plain answer to such rumors Is that
the preparations for war are real and earil-
est, and far greater that the utmost neces.

were it increased by four. times Its present
strength. The government is sending all
its energies to place the empire in an ell.

such now that Russia must consent to
sacrifice To some extent her prestige II she
desires peace, or-aconingency not likely
to happen-the whole Afghan dispute
must be submitted TO arbitration.
