WAR IN THE AIR,
Notwithstanding tho advance In Eng.
lish and Russian securities, war is still
in the London air, as witnessed IN the
press opinions OF this morning The
Times says: "Are we, then, 10 leave
the ameer 10 his own devices, after en-.
gaging him in conflict with
Russia, for which his unaided
forces are inadequate? And If we do so,
can we expect that the Aighans Will
not deem themselves betrayed and
throw themselves into the arms of tho
stronger powerW
a PLAN AGREED UPON.
IL is reported that WaddingtCn, the
French minister at London, has tCle-
graphed M. de Freyciuet that there need
ne no fear of war Between England and
Russia, as the two countries have agreed
upon Il plan for settling the Afghan
frOutdr question.
The Times, this morning, in discuss
ing the Anglo-Russiau question, says:
"NOthing has happened in tho last
three or tour days to justify the change
in the public attitude. Even if tho gov
erument is prepared 10 give Russia the
territory already occupied, IL by no
means follows that the trouble is
endod.n
The Standard says: "Nobody who
has the honor OF England aC heart can
keep from feeling that the government is
paying disastrous price tor the respite
which ii is proposing TO secure. Cont
mental critics are careful 10 hold up
the mirror so az to show our CON
temptiDle figure. Russia has once more
gained triumph at our expense. She
has gained credit which we have lost.
We, on tho other hand, have not So
cured peace. That degree of illusion is
simply impossible, however sanguine
we may be. The conflict has only been
postponed to some future time, and a
period of great defensive ornaments
has opened for the British Empire in
India.
THE CIPHER DISPATCH.
The cipher dispatch of Sir Peter Lums-
den, giving his report of the Penjdeh
incident, has been Interpreted and cop
les of the Interpretation have been dis
tributed among the members OF the cab
met. Nothing more is publicly known
of the contents of the dispatch than was
stated by Gladstone in the house of
last evening. 1t is believed
to contain full report of the battle and
the events leading to it, as received
by Englismen nearest to the scene.
TURKEY MUST REMAIN NEUTRAL.
Dispatches received here this after
noon from ViOnna and ConstantinOple
state that Austria and Germany have
the porte that the Berlin treaty
will be annu led il either English or
Russian war ships are allowed to pass
the Bosphorus, in the event of
war between England and Russia.
THIS Is TO BIZ REGRETTED.
The National Rifle association, OF
Great Britain, has determined, be-
cause OF the very grave and unsettled
state of British political affairs, both at
home and abroad, that it will not be
justified in accepting the challenge of
the American National Rifle association
TO an international contest at Creed
more, this year.
FUNERAL OF LORD MAYOR NoTTAGE.
The remains of Lord Mayor Nottage
were buried in st. Paurs cathedral to-
lay. The civic procession to the
very impressive.
THE GOVERNMENT UNDECIDED.
The Daily News this morning says the
government has not yet decided upon
the amount of tho credit
TO be asked, which will depend upon
developments between now and Tues
day. IT is reported the amount will be
e6,O00000. In an editorial the News
says: The belief that peace will be
-. Int
the belief will be justified. 1t is better
to make the needed concessions our
selves than to trust to the mediation OF
a third party.
BRACER FOR GLADSTONE.
The prospect of peace may be do
lusive. Many experienced dip
donates entertain a firm
conviction that the apparent truce is
talked by England merely to get proper
breath for eltectiye action. The very
iirmness with which Mr.. Gladstone
makes the statement and the cold calcN-
lation with which he phrases his utter
anCes will tend to convince those who
know the pr7mier well that he has deter
mined upon policy which, no matter
how surprising it may be when an
nounced, it will be by no means
one of retrogression, Mr.. Gladstone
mas made many mistakes during his
but he has always on these oc
casions betrayed himself by INDIGESTION
and evasiveness in his parliamentary
acts. 1t is quite different with him now.
To all interrogations in the house of
commons during the past week the
premier has presented the very per-
lection of tirmness in reply, when the
desired to know
which the govern
nent was not ready to contide to
The public and Gladstone has straight |
orwardly refused to give information
Ind has plainly stated the refusal upon
lublic policy. In nearly every other |
,ase the liberal leader has been frank to |
lis constituents, fair to his opponents |
md unimpassioned and truthful to the |
Russians. 1t is admitted by even the
oremier's enemies, that his conduct has
Deen like that of a man strong in fore
about the result of his cause
ike that of man managing well q good |
,ause with many ugly features neees- |
,arily attending the preliminary stage |
If its progress. Mr.. Gladstone appears to |
nave his entire case in hand, seems to be |
membranes d by prospects and I'M
lou oted4y has the full sympathy aud |
OF his entire cabinet, As q !
sporting man states it, "Mr. Gladstone |
S playing waiting game and knows
Ill the cards" 1t would appear from |
AL this that the premier has another
coup u'etat prepared Tor next week
IN tho uote Of credit. Hence sli the sur
ACE indications warrant the statement
hat the prospect is one of peace. The
)nly description of the actual situation
which can be given as Utterly accurate
s contained in the statement: 1.-THE
situation is practically unchanged" OF
course auch statement IL rather
but so is She situation. Tor no
me outside of the cabinet seems to
know just what it Is. 1s may be set
iowns as absolutely true that the rise
md fall OF the war talk during IL days
