Growing Apart.
LONDON, May 8.-The Russian ambas-
sador impaired to Earl Granville to-day the
substance of the note from Mr.. DeGiers with
reference to basis of the Afghan frontier
negotiations 1t is reported that the note
is not satisfactory to the British govern
ment. The conference on tile frontier
question will be held On Tuesday
The difference between the two govern
mentS as to the terms upon which
the question shall be referred to an arbitra-
tor are becoming greater. The state
ment of the official messenger at ST. Peters
burg, that the dispute will be
submitted to arbitration only in
case of necessity is semi-officially
declared inaccurate. Earl Granville, in dis
cussions with M. De Staal, holds that
Russia's acceptance of arbitration must be
absolute. The Conservatives will muster
their full strength in the commons Monday
to support NOrthcOte's motion of censure.
CAN THEY PERSUADE?
The Times continues to urge the govern
ment to persuade the ameer to allow the
presence OF an English garrison at Herat.
The announcement in the St. Petersburg
Official Messenger is expected to have a
reassuring effect as being the first intima-
tiOn by Russia that she will send commits
sion to meet the English commission.
UNTRUE.
The report published in the Morning Post
that Earl Dufferin has resigned his position
as viceroy to India as a consequence of the
disastrous effect upon English prestige in
consequence of Mr.. Gladstones weak policy
is pronounced as untrue.
CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED.
A special dispatch from Calcutta to the
Times says: The news of the peace az
has created dismay here. Peace
is considered dangerous and
humiliating. The reports which reach here
from the northwestern provinces and from
Afghanistan agree in representing the
vaccillation of the ministry as ruinouS to
British prestige.
FRENZIED TORIES.
The intensity of the Tory rage over the
outcome of the Afghan muddle is most lu-
dicrous. 1t is now evident that the opposi-
tion has been as completely out-maneuvered
by the government as the latter has been
outgeneraled by Russia. The voice of OPP
position has been silenced by the simple de-
vice of keeping the Tories in ignorance of
the progress of negotiations and then tell
ing them that discussion in absence of de-
tails is irregular. Now that the vote of
credit is passed, the Russian ultimatrm
conceded, the Lessar boundary adopted
and arbitration agreed upon to clean up the
odds and ends of the contention, the Tories
are complacently told by Mr. Gladstone that
they may debate the matter to their hearts
content.
VOTE OF CENSURE.
In the house of commons to-day Sir Staf-
ford Northcote gave notice that when the
consolidated fund bill comes up for second
reading he will move a fresh vote of cen
sure. The wording of this motion will be
substantially as follows: Resolved, That
the house having shown it's readiness to
vote supplies will refuse to assent to the
vote of Ell, 900, 600 until it has been in
formed of the governments present policy
and of the purposes to which the money
granted is to be applied"
THOSE FABRICATED RUMoRS.
The Daily News says the government is
eXpediting the production of official cor
with Russian and Indian gov
ernments, in order to dispose of the daily
supply of fabricated rumors.
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
A dispatch from Bombay says there is
not the slightest foundation for rumors Of
Lord Dufferin's resignation.
RUSSIA AFRAID OF CHINA:
Advices from Kashgar say that Moham-
medan insurgents invoked the assistance of
Russia to expel the Chinese, promising in
return that Russia shall have sovereignty
over Kashgar. Russia hesitates to take such
step, which would virtually proclaim hos
tility to China The Chinese garrisons in
Kashgar have taken refuge in the large
towns and ask China to send troops to their
relief.
NOT NEEDED.
Nobody here believes that the services of
an arbitrator will be required.
RUMORS.
PARIS, May s.-Rumors are current in
Paris of steady and continued Russian ad-
vance in Afghanistan, but it is impossible
to trace them to any authentic source. They
probably originated from the news of Rus
sian occupation of Penjdeh. The official
news agency in Paris, supposed to repre-
sent the views of the French cabinet, pub
fishes London dispatch dwelling on the
fact that throughout the dispute Germany
has given no indication of the attitude she
intends to assume regarding the contro-
versy. The dispatch states that the Ger
man ambassador still holds a pessimistic
view of the affair.
RUSSIAN OPINION.
ST. PETERSBURG, May S.-The Moscow
Gazette, with reference to the submission of
the Afghan frontier difficulty to arbitration,
says: 'It was only possible to permit the
correctness of our action to be certified by a
third party. Such course as this is not
arbitration, in any proper sense of the term,
but simply a respectable means of terminal
ing the incident" The Novoe Vremyea
and the Novost express great pleasure that
Sir Peter Lumsden, who, they say, made
all the mischief, has been recalled to Lon
don.
ORDERS RESCINDED.
1t is reported that orders for the dispatch
of troops to the trans-C Caspian territory
have been rescinded. Troops, however,
will be held in readiness.
