TONE OF THE TIMES.
LONDON, May 9,-The Times doubts
he existance of any documents or dis
patches respecting the Anglo. Russian
agreement of March 10 sufficiently posi-
i've for the purposes Of arbitration. Re
'erring to the report from Vienna that
Herat is not mentioned in the nogot,h.
lions between England and Russia, the
Times says: al the government thinks
tho fate OF Herat may bo left to the
caprice of the ameer, the treachery of &
local governor or the success Of Il pre-
tender, the ministry had better tell the
country their opinion and either give
place TO others more foreseeing or ab-
stain from boasting Of their money,
their prestige and their halt-hoarted
measures, which deceive nobody, and,
least OF all, Russia"
THE STANDARD
hopes that the cruel and patronizing
bluntness OF the Official Messen-
gers statement will sting Glad
stone into another speech worthy
of a British minister. Herat IL now the
main question. No Russian pledge,
however binding, which would only re-
lleve us from diplomatic squabble,
ought to prevent us from taking action
TO iorestall eventualitias.
RUSSIA WANTS REPRESENTATION AT
CALCUTTA.
A dispatch from ST. Petersburg states
that the journal de st. Petersburg to
day declares thai Russia Will shortly
open negotiations with England for the
of q representative OF the
Russian government at Calcutta.
CRoNsTADT HARBoR OPEN.
The middle harbor at Cronstadt, which
it was thought might be kept
closed, was opened TO shipping 10 day.
ARBITRATION EArB BARRAssMRNTs.
The arbitration scheme Is not making
rapid progress toward contamination
Although Russia has not recedel from
her agreement TO submit the question IN
dispute TO arbitration, vet it is am
uOuuced that delay Is likely to occur Ia
che preliminary stages of the affair. Be.
fore arbitration is possible 10 Is neces-
sary for both cabinets to agree upon
specific details to loo submitted to the
arbitrator. This may consume oonsid-
eraJlO Time.
LORD DUFFERIN,
There is not the slightest foundation
for the rumors OF Lord Dutlerin's resig-
uafiOn.
THE TROOPS DON'T GO.
AT a plenary cabinet council held to,
day, the admiralty was directed To can
col the orders issued TO provide for the
conveyance oi 1000 British troops T.
India. Three steamers had been char
tered for this purpose aud were ready
TO sail.
a CLOUD or UNCERTAINTY.

tinues to be involved in a cloud of un.

than reports began To pre-

OF there being any arbitration after al
the talk AS to the great things 10 was
about TO accomplish, To onignt no one
proiossed to understand what the pre-
clse condition of the negotiations witt
Russia may be.
