Il FUTILITY OF DIPLOMACY.
The last agonies Of painful suspense be-
lore the opening Of the great struggle are
endured by England and Russia, while
diplomacy is having its last futile words as

RUSSIA GAINING TIME.

Impression that she has checked England.
The only difficulty in the way would be the
almost certain division that would ensue
IN the British councils. Many people
would recall the fact that it was only two

that Russia had no intention OF going to

PEACE a~LADsToNE's RUIN.
The opposition in Parliament, in addi-
ton TO the arguments which the financial
really suggests, would be able,
after granting Of further concessions, to
make q strong and effective appeal to Lib
erals, as we'll as their own party, for active
support against q Governments which has

Gladstone. Personally. he would like
peace; politically, peace will be his ruin.
GLADSTONE N h RUSSIANS.
Just before Mr.. Gladstone made his great
speech he was asked whether, the Govern
ment had fixed any territorial limit beyond
which the advance of the Russian forces in
Afghanistan would not be tolerated and
whether the Russian Government had en-
tered into any engagement not to seize
Herst. To this the Premier returned what
the London Times calls ian ambiguous
and evasive reply" in these words: "Un-
til we can see our way further with regard
to essential matters it will not be in my
power to give specific answers" Nor on
this particular point was he much more
definite in his great speech. But while the
Premier is "seeing his way further the
Russians in Afghanistan are making their
way further New York World, May 2.
NO CAUSE FOR WAR.
There is nothing in the present situation
in anything that has happened either
along the boundary Of ~Afghanistan or any
where else ri to cause a rupture of the
amicable relations now existing between
England and Russia. So far as any one
knows. the Russians have not invaded the
country or the disputed territory
lying to the north Of that country[?l.
The Russian advance eastward from the
Caspian Sea has been going on for years,
and England has had as much cause to OBJ
