SOME PRESS PUNGENClES.
London, May 9.-The Times doubts ex-
istence of any documents or dispatches
respecting the Anglo-Russian agree
ment of March 10Th, sufficiently deli
mite for the purposes ofarbitration.
referring to the report from Nien-
ma that Herat is not mentioned in the
negotiations between England aud
Russia, the Times says: of the gov
eminent thinks the fate of Herat may
be lett to the caprice of the ameer, the
treachcry of the local governor, or
the success of pretender, the minis
try had better tell the country their
opinion and either give place to
others more foreseeing or abstain
from boosting of their money, pres
tige, and half-hearted measures,
which deceive nobody and least OF all
Russia.
The Standard hopes that the Cruel
and patronizing bluntness of the oiii-
cial messengers statement will sting
Gladstone into another speech,
worthy of the British minister. He
rat is now the main que stion and no
Russian pledge, however, binding
which would only relieve us from
diplomatic squabble, ought to pre-
vent us from taking action to fore
stall eventualities.
