The Russian Reply to British Demands.

The reply of NJ. de Giers, Russian foreign
minister, to Earl Granville's demand for an
explanation of Gen. Komaroff's attack upon
the Afghans at Kushk river, which was re-
ceived at the foreign Office, was considered in
cabi. ct council. The reply says Gen. Kom-
arof's dispatches, copies Of which have
been forwarded to the British government.
sufficiently explain the Penjdeh incident, and
that it Is, therefore, needless to supplement
them. NJ. de Giers, in his turn, complains
strongly of what he calls the excessive nun.
ber of Gen. Sir Peter Lunsden's escort He
says this display of British armed force on
Afghan territory, togethe. with the military
demonstration at Rawal-Pindia and Earl Duff
erin's defiant language encouraged the At
ghans to provoke the Russian attack by leading
them to believe they could rely upon British
support. NJ. dc Giers does not express the
slightest regret for Gen. KomaroT's action,
and he even suggests that Gen. Roma
rolf would have neglected his duty
If he had failed to attack the Afghans.
Earl Granville, British foreign minister,
stated in the house of lords that the govern
ment has received a dispatch from Sir Peter
Lumsden, the contents of which the govern
ment was not prepared TO make public any
further than to state that it contained a con.
tradlction of the Penjdeh incident as given by
ten. komaroff. The government was, Earl
Granville said, expecting further kilograms
from Sir Peter Lumsden, and until they were
received the government would not be pre-
pared to make further statements. There has
been a continuous exchange Of dispatches be-
tween Earl Gradv!le and De Giers. 1t is ap-
parent that the breach is widening.

A Etel Manifesto.

Riei has six hundred half-breeds. He hae
drawn up an elaborate manifesto: 1t begins
by giving accounts of Populations sent by half.
breeds either to Ottawa or to the authorize s al
Winnipeg since 1871, praying for redress fol-
grievances which the half br commission
has now come to adjust
Isiel says Mr.. Dewdney must have misled the
government, IN which case heis responsible for
all tnis trouble. He says the dominion survey
ors had no sooner ceased TO harass the half
breed settlers by threatening to deprive them
of portions of their farms, than timber in
spectors began to prosecute them, filming set
tiers for taking timber off the lands which they
had been culuvating for years, though tho
patents had for some reason or other been
withheld.
Riel appeals to the white settlers to testify
to the mismanagement Of Saskatchewan and
Alberta since 1870, and also to the tyranny
and dishonesty of most of the off cials placed
over the people, and says that his people
never intended to shed a drop of blood, and
did not fire upon Crozier until that officer had
fired first; that war is being forced upon them,
and that they are being hunted to death,
though the parliament Mt Ottawa knows that
they have been wronged In conclusion he
says:
chat under these circumstances, as death by
public executioner or in battle must be theirs,
they must die fighting.
This document, together with the bill Of
rights Of September, and the new bill of rights
will be sent to Gen. Middleton.

'sThere lisa large possibility that Gen. Grant
will live through the summer. Hisphysicians
think, as I have reason to know, that he will
die within two months; that is, the cancer will
prove fatal in that time. No one looked for its
hnal Development sooner. Epitheloma, how
ever, 30 for as we know, means death. Gen.
Grant may get well enough to walk on the
streets, but he is liable to die at any moment
from the sudden growth of his disease"

Congressman are each paid salaries

them, and about TWENTY-FIVE ouu of
that number are worth their salaries.

some of them were forced to live by

them are worth $4,000 a year outside

that they are of a far higher grade

The Pesther Lloyd's correspondent at St
Petersburg afirms that nihilism has practical
ly ceased in the Russian empire. The nihilist
societies, with which a couple of years ago the

common people OF Russia, owing to the repug-
nance to the propaganda Of murder and blood.
Aproject is openly discussed in Russia to

Sarakhs, which will occupy three years, Russia
will attack India. The Times states that the

a Matter. of Policy.

A beautiful and bashful young
woman OF about nineteen summers
called recently at the office of a life in
uranc agent, says The NeV }ork Tel
egrane, and asked him tinlidly if he
could tell her how long people of a
certain age would live.
'Madam," replied the agent, cough
ing respectfully behind u prospectus,
and drawing his chair near to her,
''here are our tables of expectation
and average mortality, which contain
all the information on the subject that
one can desire"
..Well,n said she, chow long will a
man of 81, and that eats peas with his
knife, live?"
"According to our table, madam"
replied the agent, she should, on the
average, survive eleven years, three
months and sixteen days."
THAT" said the visitor, would be
till the 21st of April, 1896"
Precisely, madam, on the average
expectation of mortality, for we must
all die, and it is therefore well to in
sure against loss to the loved ones
in a company whose character-n
"And how much could l insure his
life for?"
"Oh, for any amount-say for S1O,-
000,' he answered, taking up a blank
form of application. ''Let me recon-
mend the unexcepted advantages Of
fered by our non-forfeitable endow-
ment policy"
"Well," said the young woman, II
think. then, I'll marry him.
Ensure him, you mean?' corrected
the agent.
NO, marry him; you insure him.
You see,' she added with Il burst of
confidence, II love Herbert, and MI.
Dawkins is old enough to be my grand
father. But Herbert is poor, aud I
just worship the corner lots that Mr..
Dawkins builds on. And Herbert is
very patient, and says that if | will
only Tx a day, no matter how long he
may have to wait. he will be happy.
Now, You say Mr.. Dawkins will die BY
the 21st of April, 1896; and as it
wouldn't be decent to marry again till
