The Warlike Situation.
LONDON, May 9.-The Russian Ambassa-
dor impaired to Earl Granville to-day the
substance Of the note from de Giers with
reference to the basis of the Afghan from
| tier negotiations. 1t is reported that it is
not satisfactory to the British Government.
The conference ON the frontier question
is to be held on Tuesday. The differences
between the wo Governments as to the
terms upon which the question shall be re-
| ferred to arbitration are becoming greater.
The statement OF the Official Messenger Of
| st. Petersburg, that the dispute would be
submitted to arbitration only in q case Of
necessity, is semi-officially declared mac
| curate. Granville, in his discussions with
de Staal, holds that Russia's acceptance Of
| arbitration must be absolute
The Conservatives will muster their full
| strength in Commons Monday to support
| Northcote's motion of censure.
The Times doubts the existence OF any
documents or dispatches respecting the
Anglo-Russian agreement OF March 10,
sufficiently definite for the purposes Of
arbitration. Referring to the report from
Vienna that Herat is not mentioned in the
negotiations between England and Russia,
the Times says if the Government thinks
the fate Of Herat may be left to the ca
prices of the Amer, the treachery OF the
local Governor, or the success of the pre-
tender, the Ministry had better tell the
country their opinion and either give
place to others more foreseeing, or abstain
from boasting their money prestige, and
the half-hearted measures which deceive
nobody, and. least of all, Russia.
The Standard hopes that the cruel and
%patronizing b~luntness of the Official Mes
senger's statement will sting Gladstone
into another speech worthy Of q British
Minister. Herat is now the main question.
"Russia's pledge. however, which would
only relieve us from a diplomatic squabble,
ought to prevent us from taking action to
forestall the eventualities."
LONDON, May "a dispatch from st.
Petersburg states that the Journal de st.
Petersburg, to-day declares that Russia
will shortly open negotiations with Eng
land for the appointment of a representa-
tive Of the Russian Government at CAL
cutta.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 9.-The middle
harbor at Cronstadt, which it was thought
might be kept closed, was opened to ship
ping to-day.
The Moscow Gazette. with reference to
the submission of the Afghan frontier
difficulty to arbitration, says: "It is not
possible to permit the correctness of our
action to be certified by a third party.
Such q course as this is not arbitration in
any proper sense of the term, but simply a
respectable means of terminating the Incl
dent"

LONDON, May - The arbitration
scheme is not making rapid progress to-
ward a contamination. Although Russia
has not receded from her agreement to
submit the question in dispute to arbitra-
ton, yet it is announced that q delay is
likely to occur in preliminary stages of the
affair before arbitration is possible. 1t is
necessary for both Cabinets to agree upon
the specific details to be submitted to
arbitration. This may consume consider
able time.
At the plenary Cabinet Council held to-
