Io-nlgnC tnat convention on the entire
Afghan question is practically concluded
between England and Russia, and that its
terms will soon be made public The
fact that Mr.. W. II. Smith, the new
minister of war; has reScinded
the prohibition which the MARQUIS of Har-
tingtOn. Mr.. GladstOne's war minister, i'll
stituted only a few months ago against the
voluntary retirement from the army, is
taken to indicate that the government has
peaceful prospects. Doubts are now eX-
pressed as to whether the ameer of Afghan
lStan Will consent to the proposed British
cantonment of Candahar, through fear
that his subjects, inundated by the pres
ence of the English, may revolt and re-
place Ayoub Khan on the Afghan throne
and drive the whole British interest out of
AfghaniStan. The Russian embassy in
London intimate that the definition Of
the Zulificar pass, to which the car is
willing to agree, comedies to the ameer
nothing but the pass proper, and under no
construction will it include in the cOnceS-
sion any positions commanding the pass.
The hopes entertained by Conservatives
of success in the coming general election
were much strengthened by the result Of
the North Lincolnshire special party cleo
ton to-day. The Tory candidate Mr..
Atkinson, increased the Conservative major
ity by over 1000 votes. Mr.. Gladstone
had taken personal interest in the election
and had written campaign letters in sup
port of the Liberal candidates. The Earl
of CarnaryOn, the new vieerOy Of Ireland,
held
A SPECIAL CONFERENCE
yesterday with resident magistrates in
Dublin, for the purpose of furnishing to
the present government material for a re-
ply to the question which Mr.. Sexton
asked in the house of commons, as to
whether the ministry intend to remove from
Ireland the extra police force on the lapse
of the Irish crimes act. 1t is reported that
Mr.. Parnell has promised the new govern
ment to do all in his power to discourage
the commission of crime in Ireland, but
that he refuses to issue any mani
feStO to the Irish people on the
subject. The Irish leaders friends
declare that to issue q manifesto would
commit the national league to sort of
adoption of the responsibility for the agrar
ian Outrages which were recently prevalent
in Ireland. The Parnellites' policy is to
give support as far as possible to the Con-
ServativeS, in order to even up the chances
of the regular Tory and Liberal
parliamentary candidates, so that the eighty
home rule members which Mr.. Parnel eX-
DcClS HIS party W DttNC III lliO IlCAb BdAlift-
ment may have certainty of possessing
the balance of power. With that posses
sion the home rule vote could be thrown
either way with decision, as the interests OF
the National league might require.
THE DISCOVERY
of the blundcr in the admiralty accounts
was brought about by the estimate which q
prominent official was required to make up
| for the expenses of the department to June
| 20. His figures were found to be the same
as those which had been given by Mr..
Childers, the Liberal chancellor of
| the eXchequer, for the period ending three
weeks earlier. This remarkable result in
duced Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the Tory
chancellor of the exchequer, to make an
investigation. The result is, it is now
has in its possession facts which
prove that there really had not
been for years, under the Gladstone gov
eminent, adequate financial supervision
over the admiralty department. Lord
| NOrthbrook, the first lord of the admiralty
under Liberals, had such frequent missions
\ to Egypt and elsewhere that he was pre-
vented by absence from giving the neces-
sary close attention to the financial affairs
of the admiralty.
Gen. Lord WolSeley, after consulting
| with the government on his arrival i'll Lon
don, will be granted a short furlough.
The latest announced returns from Rus
| sian customs duties show an enormous in
creasing decrease in the revenue, despite
the augmented duties. This decrease is
put at 81, 900 daily at the present writing.
Two hundred works which were in Gus
tav Dores studio at the time of his death
will shortly be sold by auction. They in
clude two important pictures, The Death Of
1 Orpheus and The Deluge.
| Madge Wickman, On American violiniSt,
| has given series of concerts at Baden

her a great future.
From Paris it is telegraphed that Gen.
De Courcey has placed Hue, the capital Of
AMMAN, in q state of siege, and has given
| different provinces of the kingdom weeks
notice to surrender arms. NJ. DeFreycinet,
French foreign minister, has cabled to Hue
for details of the recent revolt, before send
