thrown across these rivers the Arghans would
conSder it an invasion, and England would
undoubtedly be called upon to keep her con-
tract with the Ameer of Afghanistan and
protect the country from the Russians The
Pal Mall Gazette has lately given many
pages to discussions of the question whether
Penideh is within the Afghan boundary
line, Russian officer having quoted
from the history of that country's
boundary troubles as far back as 1853, and
an English officer having exhausted a good
deal of learning on the other side to show that
Russia cannot claim Penjdeh on the ground
that other portions of that tribe of people
were subjected by them. He claims that
Penjdeh has Of late years paid tribute to Herat
But this tribute is said to have been only the
payment of money for the use of pasturage
by the people of Penjdeh for their sheep. The
Afghans never went TO collect the rental but
when it was not paid they seized the flocks Of
the Penjdeh people and held them till the
tribute was forthcoming. The waste region
slong the boundary is occupied only by tribes
that live pastoral life mainly, and they
were continually at war with one another in
years past, and appealed first to one power
and then to another for protection from their
enemies, and so the boundary vacillated. The
Russian bear went down there from st. Pc
tersburg year before last and showed his
claws, which has tended to keep the small
tribe quiet, much rs a brute will terrify chill
dren into quiet by his scow. Taking ad
vantage of this pacification of the desert re-
gion, the ameer of Afghanistan occupied
Pended in July, 1884. Lately he is said to
have attempted the accession of more terri
tory along the Murghab, and Russia makes
this an excuse for making a similar advance
toward the ameer's possession. The Afghans
afterward became alarmed and fell back to
Penjdeh but later advanced twenty or thirty
miles, and Russia claims that they were urge
to this by Sir Peter Lumsdens staff.
