SENATOR MALONE is said to be the ideal
poker player of the generation. We thought
that Mr.. Sohenck, of Ohio, ex-Minisler to
England under portion of the recent Re-
publican regime, enjoyed the reputation of
being the poker player par excellsnoe of this
day and generation. During his residences at
the English Court he wrote book on poker
and it was published with the cordial in
dorsement of the nobility. The only doubt
that might be raised is the fact that Schenck
is a Republican, and it is said that Republi
cans don't play poker. 1t is only wicked
Democrats that know much about the game.

The Situation Very Serious.

LONDON, April 20. p. m.-The situation
Of the Russo-Afghan question has again be.
come very serious, owing to Russia increas-
ing her demands to such an extent that it
will be impossible for England to accept
such terms. NJ. De Giers, the Russian Pre-
mier, who is evidently determined to profit
by his recent success in negotiating with the
English Foreign Office. has apparently de-
cided not to weld q single i0ta to Earl Gran
vile. 1t is now feared that Russia las over
stepped the bounds of British forbearancs, as
it ia asserted on high authority that England

Russia TO the latest from Earl Granville.
Dispatches from CroDstsdt state that the Rus.

Burdened With Dispatches.

VAREA, April '20 Notwithstanding the
peaceful tendencies reported from ST. Peters
burg and London, the aspect Of the situation,
viewed from Const&ntinople, still points TO
war. Russia assuredly means to touch the
utmost limit OF British fsrbearence before
she will consent to conclude any arrange
ments for avoiding war. A very shrewd
Russian merchant, who hss extensive deal
ings in Southern Russia, remarked this morn
ing: "Dou you think we have moved 150,-
OC0 men to the shores of the Caspian to OBJ
tain merely strip OF desert? Don't put
faith in newspaper reports. We mean war
unless England timidly grants all We have
wanted. As for Komaroff, the Government
will never recall him." The merchant fur
ther said that ''the authorities at Odessa had
received instructions to stop the expectation
of cattle that were intended to proceed be-
yond Constantinople." Ship masters arriv-
idg from Russian ports ali speak of the i'm
mensity Of military preparations and of the
i'll feeling against England.
The Porte stiil hesitates 70 show its hand

respecting the passage Of the Dardenelles re-
mains unanswered.

LONDON. April 2l.-Advices from Tirgpul,

interview with the Russian staff on tae day
previous to battle, at which he pointed out
that the Afghans had occupied the west bank

March. The Russians complained of the
demeanor of the Afghan troops, and OF the
aggressive preparations apparent in their
lines also, that the Afghans had declined

further accused the Afghans Of reconnoiter-
IL with the sweeping charge of arrogance.
The facts were that General Komarof
had pushed 5000 troops forward to
commanding position before the
AfghaDs, who naturally proceeded to
strengthen their weaker outposts. This led
to the Russians alleging arrogance. The at
titude Of the Afgsns was studiously moder-
ate. andi there is no color to the pretense
that their movements were even irritating.
They even allowed the Russians TO inspect
their arrangements at Pul-i-Khisti. Gener-
al Komaroff7s troops are reported TO have

Their Withdrawal, however, was q mere russ
