Marquis of Salisbury Scores a Vic

the Cholera Epidemic Hourly In

a Disagreement Between France and
Belgium Reported.

LONDON, Aug. 24.-The settlement of the
I1llhkar Pass dispute is great victory for
Marquis of Salisbury. The particulars of
the arrangement have not been made public,
put 1t is known that Russia has abandoned
ner claim to the eastern ridge, and that the
AAIghans have obtained a position which
they can defend.
In her first tracing of the western frontier
RtiSsla sought to restrict the Afghans to the
valley between the right bank of the Hari-
kud and the Zulfkar hills, and claimed for
herself the pass, or rather the passes, for
there are two, to the east of the valley. She
might as well have claimed everything as
with the hill roads in her hands, the valley
could be nothing but a death trap for the
garrison The passes trend from the north
east to the southwest, and a Russian force
advancing through them would debOuch in
the rear of the Afghans. Thus, the more
troops the Ameer might send to hold the
valley, the more prisoners the Russians
would take whenever they chose to make the
capture.
! Later in the negotiations Russia modified
TINS claim and reduced her pretenSions to the
north part of the passes and the ridge dom
lnatlng the southern section. The mOdifica-
g0n, however, was more apparent than real,
for from the higher ground her troops would
command the Afghans in the gorges. The
Marquis OF Salisbury rejected this COM
promise proposition as decidedly as the
earlier one, and insisted that the ridge was
the key to the gorge and having promised to
obtain Zulfikar Pass for the Ameer, England
could not with honor leave the command of
the defile to the Russians. How far the
frontier line runs to the north of the ridge is
uncertain, but in securing the passes and the
ridge for the Ameer Lord Salisbury has
gained material local advantage for Af-
ghanistan, and far greater moral victory
for England.

grain trade says that forty-two per cent Of

Of barley. Wheat growers are of the opin-

Of 1885 will be. Trade in foreign wheat is
almost nothing and the huge visible supply
in America is depressing the supply here.

trouble. King Alfonso presided. 1t was
officially announced that the reply from Ger

proposed an amicable discussion Of the ques-

grams to Germany, energetically protesting
against the action of Germany, in response
to which that government today telegraphed
a reply explaining that its action had been
animated altogether by friendly motives, and
worthy of interrupting the ancient amity
between the two nations. The reply further
explains that Germany, seeing no evidences
of Spanish domination in the Carolines,
thought the islands had been virtually aban-
doned. The German government, however,
does not mention whether any of the islands
have been actually occupied.
